It is perfectly apparent that here 4s ft situation which demands Immedia t e action, and that this action should fjring about the vigilant protection for all time, and in all partB of the country* of all insectivorous birds. Many tX £he most useful of these birds are already on the tobogganslide toerard extermination, as the result of atupld state legislation, or the lax enforcement of such laws as have been enacted. To be explicit: There are seven states in which the m>bin is being legally killed by the "tens of thousands annually as "game"! "These states are Louisiana, Mississippi pi, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee and Maryland. The black bird is legalized "game," and suffers the same fate In four fststes—Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Pennsylvania—and the ^District of Columbia besides. Dotes are slaughtered by the wholetsale In 26 states, much to the loss of "t&e fanners, for this bird is .a great •eater of weed seedB.

In both fall and spring they are shot along the whole route of their migration north and south, The accompanying illustrations present portraits of a group of birds, most of which the average person probably knows by sight, though I fear that only a small minority have a clear idea of their very great economic worth. The jacksnipe (or Wilson's snipe) is one of the shorebirds (referred to by Mr. McAtee), which, as a family, are being rapidly exterminated. It destroys large numbers of worms and larvae, for which it probes with its long bill in the soft earth of corn and potato fields—thereby doing the farmer a great service—as well as along the shores of ponds, lakes and streams. It also feeds on grasshoppers ahd other injurious insects. It should be carefully protected, especially during the breeding season. The kildeer plover iB another valuable and beautiful shoreblrd which is being hunted to death, it frequents meadows and pasture lands, as well as shores, and devours great quantities of moBquitoes, crane files, grasshoppers, army worms, cut worms, caterpillars, cotton-boll weevils, cloverleaf weevils, rice weevils, marine worms, wire worms and crayfish. Doubtless everybody knows the robin, perhaps the most democratic ef our birds, beloved in the northern states for his cheerful bong and hiB handsome appearance, glad everywhere to be the companion and the friend of man when he is well treated, and highly valuable a» a destroyer of harmful gmfyt wogns aa£ jj}#ecu. Yet thie bird*|e murdered lftenkllv $y the thousands for>'pot-pies by negroes and poor whites in the southern states above mentioned, and is more or less hunted in other states. Mr. E. A. Mcllhenny, who lives on Avery Island, Le., says that during the ten jdays or two weeks of the "robin season" (in January when the berries are rrpe) at least 10,000 of these useful and beautiful birds are slaughtered dally for the pot "Every negro man and boy who can raise a gun is after them," says Mr. Mcllhenny. Although this bird causes some loss to small fruit growers, it certainly does vastly more good than harm. It is constantly at work on lawns and fieldc hunting for destructive insects, which it Is exceedingly difficult to keep In control. It devours many caterpillars, including hairy species, which infest the orchard, woodland and shade trees., Forty per cent, of its food Is insects, and 43 per cent, wild fruit. It would pay the farmer well to go some expense in order to keep the robins away from his fruit trees and berry bushes rather than shoot these birds which are so useful to him In many ways. To murder them for pot-pies is, of course, nothing short of barbarous. The purple martin is also fond of the society of man, and when not molested by the villainous English sparrows—and still more villainous men by whom it is shot for food, chiefly in the south—it is glad to breed in birdhouses near human habitations. It ma'ies a charming neigh- T..& #ir*gfc BSss^sJCPiuS£flRffi<iBfaj£«'' • The KHdeer Ployer. Another Valuable Shoreblrd Which Destroys Great Quantities of Worms » and Insects. The Purple Martin.

One observer records that 32 parent martins made* 3,275 visits to their young in one Jay, each visit meaning, probably, anywhere from one to half a dozen Insects. The nlghthawk (also called "bullbat") 1" probably one of the most useful of birds. It feeds exclusively on Insects, and ranks next to the golden-winged woodpecker (flicker) as a feathered destroyer of ants, which it takes when they are in the winged stage. Potato beetles, cucumber beetles, leaf hoppers, bugs of various kinds and enormous quantities of gnats and mosquitoes are found in their stomachs. They are entirely harmless, -for they never feed on fruit, grain, grass or vegetables. Yet they are being hunted for sport and are being exterminated. The loggerhead (or southern) shrike is a champion pest destroyer, a large The Nlghthawk.

It sometimes catches young birds (though this'is more characteristic of the northern shrike, or butcher bird,) .but its diet is chiefly insects and small rodents. It is, therefore, very valuable to the farmer. The golden-winged woodpecker (also called "flicker," "highhole," etc.) is an industrious tree protector, and the most efficient of all feathered anteaterB. It is also feeds freely upon beetles, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, ano* other harmful insects, as well as on weed seds. Yet it 1B rapidly growing rare because it Is much hunted for food. It should be protected everywhere and at all times. In view of the decrease already accomplished in the general volume of bird life in America, in view of the enormous losses annually inflicted upon the people of this country by the ravages of insects, and in view of the destruction of wild life which is now furiously proceeding throughout America, the McLean bill, which is now before congress, to provide for the federal protection of all migratory birds, becomes the most important wild life measure that ever came before that body. In view of the annual economic IOBS that will continue as long as a federal migratory bird bill fails to pass, it is impossible for anyone to put forth one good reason—unless if. be on purely technical groundp—against that measure. The Weeks bill, before the lower house of congress, is precisely like the McLean bill, and it matters not which one passes first. Unless the people of this country wish to shut their eyes to their own interests, and pay out millions of dollars annually in the form of increased, cost of living due to the losses caused by insect pests which would be destroyed by the birds, they should demand that a federal migratory bird bill be at once enacted into a law. It is Senate Bill No. 6497, and on the senate calendar it is No. 60C. We cannot afford to wait until 1914 or 1915, and congress has full power to act this winter.

Ojjse wiqeedtn ef Only the Sultan Adheres to the Old 8tyle Oriental Institution—Modern Turk Resorts to Divorce. The domestic arrangements of the sultan are entirely different from those of his subjects. Most Turks have one wife; the sultan has no recognized sultana. Turks of high rank .marry into their own class; the sultan forma unionBV with women of alave origin. The ordinary man may not look upon an unveiled woman except she be his relation or'servant; the sultan has the right to talk with any wotnan in the land face to face. Turks of position model their households more or less on the European plan; the sultan's household is oriental. That does not mean that in the imperial palace you would find women sipping sherbet or smoking narghilehs or clad In baggy trousers. On the contrary, you would niid them smok' ing nothing more oriental than a cigarette, sitting on a European chair —and, yes, wearing corsets? But the code of morals is entirely different, says the New York Sun. The imperial harem Is founded on tfce old court system of the Byzantine emperors and has an etiquette and law of Its own. The first fact one mast grasp (* that the wives or favorite* of the sultan have no Importance at all. They are noboiMes The daughter of a Circassian peasant n a y be Honored by the sultan's favor and even bear him a child, but yet bo distinguished by no other title '%% btologlosV sarrey (United ~tftaa tbe cott«onp*ace* "Kadia Effen- ^ ..^, .„.,. , ^ , , ^ l y ^ ujother of-ttar oldest. son receives the'royal deifgaatioh of "ssltan.n l e t whole titfe bttafg "Kb* '' r?*r dlinlly only retolts frosi her ' V i * e the ttojnet of ft 90*s<%!« hajr •* ,•.'• * fbrdn*: that is, to' Href ;t*ent ^ ^ • S -»>^r'a%-«BW^»ata7vf*r: dence as the elder male descendants. And the royal favorite of the moment will have transitory importance on account of the influence which she may exercise over the sultan. Royal princesses are considered inferior to the mother of the sultan, who is the real queen of the little world of the harem, has absolute authority, a large staff of officials and the supreme title of "Valide sultan." Thus it happens that a woman of slave birth may, if she be the mother of an heir to the throne, eventually become the highest woman of the land. Every royal princess has her daira, or separate apartments, slaves, servants and so on, the management of the household being given over to her kalfas, or ladies in waiting—that is to say, Turkish women of good birth who have remained unmarried. Royal princesses rarely take a husband of their own rank. They are generally married by the sultan to the sons of men of wealth and position, such as pashas, officers of state, high civil officials and the like, a policy which is founded on a very practical reason, namely, that the arrangement makes the existence of a heriditary aristocracy impossible. One of the paradoxes in Turkey 1s that the poorer a Turkish woman Is the greater her freedom. The rich woman canont move a step unaccompanied. She sees Constantinople only from the windows of her eloeed brougham or through a roll thick enough to act as a mask, She may dress as exquisttetly as a mannequin In • Parts dressmaker's showroom,- but she must not display so m u A as an inch of embroidery in ptfbtyf. > When her husband wants to take a second wife, or grow* tired of her ahd wishes to divorce; heir, lie has both the opportunity anU the m e a n t ,tf he Is a rioh man.

The woman of the poorest classes can go out slope. Custom does not oblige her to wear her veil down. Should her husband, In a fit of anger, wish to divorce her, he must first of all produce the Nekyah, the dowry, In ready money, not an easy matter for a poor man. The real danger to domestic happiness in the great mass- of Turkish homes is the growing tendeney of divorce, and a divorce wholly favorable to the man as against the woman. The payment of the modest nekyah arranged at the time of his marriage is a simple affair, and it is seldom enough to keep the divorced wife for the rest of her days, s h e is forced to take refuge with her parents or to find shelter with some of her friends. > Day on Which Women Rule.

So the suspender must go—has gone almost, say those who sell wearing apparel for men. It's the age ^,^6,,^61^ Manjj: shpulders must be ^unhampered by straps; only the patient diaphragmjB to be subjected to a, harness. Bo-passes smother useful device, sacrificed to fastidiousness. We used to eat mashed potato with a knife till someone with supercilious manners dame along and told ns the fork was the proper utensil for that important duty. Formerly people'poured out their hot'coffee into saucers, "blew" tt cold and then drank it from saucers, all unconscious of the terrible Impropriety involved. Nor was it formerly considered an indication of boorish origin for one to sip tea from a spoon. Oh, these changing times! Suspenders gone the way of the bicycle and the crocheted necktie! Is no one bold enough to do them reverence? Fashion is a tyrant It takes no cognisance of man's various shapes—his embonpoint, his fullness or deficiency of girth—it merely issues a flat and expects all to obey. The time is opportune for a new declaration of independence. Let every man who prefers suspenders to a belt buy a pair forthwith and wear it in defiance of the world. Some people are determined not to let Christopher Columbus reBt in peace. Not long ago a celebrated Jewish rabbi insisted that the great explorer was a Jew, and now comes a member of the Royal Geographical aooiety with the claim that Columbus was a Spaniard and not an Italian. The Spanish scientist says that the •ell of mystery that has for four centuries enshrouded the cradle of Columbus has at last been torn aside to reveal hjm without doubt or argument as a .Spaniard. Dr. Horta says that the Italian lineage of the discoverer was accepted because there was no "authentic, respectable and authorized hlBtorlc documents'! to prove to the contrary. On the other hand, the Spanish historian says the only accepted proof of the Italian birth of Columbus was his own statement that he was born in Genoa. An Englishman in Shanghai was twitting the eldest son of Dr. Sun Yetsen about his father's cosmopolitanism. "Nobody knows for certain where your father was born/' he said. "Canton claims htm and so does Hon. olulu. Before the revolution he had not been here InOhina for-maay years. The English port of Hongkong was the nearest he ever approached. I don't see how your father can call himself a Chinaman, and in fact,, I don't know what to call him." "Part of what you say is true," answered the son of the famous patriot "For fifteen years my father was a man without a country, but now," and the bey smiled proudly, "a country has been made for him."

The Abolition of the Land Commission and Some of the Appointments to Be Made Are of Special Interest [By Gurd M. Hayes.] There is every reason to believe that the next legislature will enact a civil service law for all state departments and that an effort will be made to eliminate politics to a large exetrft in determining the class of men and women who will transact the business of the commonwealth. Ever since he came into office two years ago Governor Osborn has stood for a civil Bervice law for all state employes, in recognition of meritious service. "Every employe in the state should be under civil service rules that are honestly made and honestly enforced," said the governor. "However, I am not speaking of a political service that works solely to the advantage of the parties. There is no reason why competent help in the employ of the state, after their duties have been learned well, should be replaced for merely political reasons, than there is that business firms should engage men for a short period, to turn them loose after that time has been served." In his ex-augural message the retiring chief executive will advocate the passage of a civil service law, and the newly elected governor, Woodbridge N. Ferris says that he is heartily in favor of such a measure, and niany members of the legislature are already pledged to support such a bill. Some of the departments have already inaugurated a civil service system. State Treasurer^elect John W. Haarer, has already announced that he will appoint the present cashier in the treasury department to the deputyship the first of the year, while the chief clerk will be advanced to cashier and so on. Auditor General O. B. Fuller has paid more attention to efficiency than political pull, while Secretary of State Frederick C. Martin* dale has many employes In his department whose political activities ceased years agOi-Martindate says that a civil service law would not cauae him to make a single change in his office, as he declares he would discharge a state employe found to be incompetent as quickly as he would turn a poor worker out of a private enterprise. For a man to run {or office on a platform that he is to abolish that office once he has been elected to it, Is somewhat of an innovation in Michigan politics, but that is what Augustus C. Carton, secretary of the public doman commission, and land commissioner- elect, promised the people of the state, and he proposes to make good his pre-election pledge if the legislature will assist him In the proposition. Abolish Land Commission. When the public doman commission was created two years ago A. C. Carton, then deputy land commissioner, was elected its first secretary. Under the statute creating the public domain commission, its members are composed o fthe board of state audit* ors, including the secretary of state, state treasurer and commissioner of the land office, together with one regent of the University, one member of, the state agricultural board and one member of the board of control of the Michigan College of Mines. Secretary Carton is an enthusiastic adherent of the "back to the soil" movement and has done much, during the two years that he has been conlected with the public domain commission, to encourage immigration and induce fanners from other states to take np tracts of land in the northern countte*of the state. Tb preserve the natursr'resources 61 the state, to assist in the development of the agricultural lands of Michigan and to encourage immigration, are among the few things that the commision has endeavored tb accomplish. ..Carton believes that the time has errtvedrwhea voty .little stats Ian* will he sold in MielHgsij and brieves that the work-of the las* commission it pra^JtlosJIy-finished. Therefore ho consented to-nc a candidate for the place with the understanding Uutt -the land commission would bssooifshed and the work should be turned over to the pnbUo domsin commission. AMH for t * # f t H mm$. »;•**, Nlif framed sod - "^lWW-1***^ AW'mi* set- *m.y:-,. fopertnteftdeat Clarence B. Holmos, the Michigan School fur the Blind] T^htm reooamonded to Gov. Osborn that the chief exeottttvwmsk the legislature to appropriate aprodamteiy rwo,oon 4D# thst institution next year. At the sssksastit tfistft the •yv- Ik; >! w ^ A r f * • fc^ueoftoaft dreds of blind children in the state who are unable to gain admission owing to the limited facilities of the institution. At a recent session of the legislature a law was enacted requiring compulsory education for all blind children in the state, and Superintendent Holmes points to this* as a sufficient reason why sufficient money should be appropriated to care fo rthose who are being neglected at present. It 1B pointed out that in many cases the parents of these children are unable, because of adverse financial conditions, to educate them in private schools, and as a result they grow* up and become objects of charltyf> where ^hey might be developed into self supporting citizens had they received the advantages afforded at the Michigan School for the Blind. The educational course at the Michigan School for the Blind compares favorably with the advantage! afforded In regular grammar and high schools of the state, and in adltion, each pupil IB taught some trade. Superintendent Holme* wants to add 40 acres to the school property in order that a course in agriculture may be added to the curriculum. From observation in other states he has learned that agriculture is a pursuit that may be followed to considerable advantage by blind persons, and he says that polltry arising is another industry favorable to those who have lost their sight. The legislature has always dealt generously with the School for the Blind and there is every reason to believe that the arguments of Superintendent Holmes will carry considerable weight at tho coming session. A Warm Election. There is sure to be a warm contset over the election of a secretary of the senate to succeed B. V. Chilson, who has announced his retirement after serving in that capacity for a number of essions past Chilson says that his business demands all his time and he is forced to drop out of politics temporarily. The secretaryship of the senate is worth $10 per day and carries with it considerable political prestige. Consequently it is much sought after and friends of the respective candidates are already soliciting the support ef the various members of the upper house. Dennis E. Alward, of Clare, for a number of years secretary of the republican- state centra! committee is being prominently mentioned for the position. Alward was secretary of the senate for a great many years previous to Chilson's election and It is thought that his experience will militate in his favor. During the last primary campaign Alward was defeated for the republican nomination for congress in the eleventh district. Sidney Hall, of Detroit, who has been journal clerk in the house during the past two seslons, announces that he is in the race for secretary of the senate and callms to have the solid support of the Wayne delegation. The election of a secretary will be one of the first duties that the senate will be called upon to perform and much wire pulling iB expected before any of the candidates secure the desired number of votes. New Man in Office. Governor-elect Ferris has announced that he will send the name of John T. Winshlp, of Saginaw, to the senate for confirmation as insurance commissioner to succeed C. A. Palmer. This position pays $3,500 annually and is one of the best plums that the democratic chief executive will have at his disposal. Winshlp has for years been one of the democratic stalwarts and was the democratic candidate for United States senator against Charles E. Townsend two years ago. It has also been definitely decided that James Helme, of Adrian, will be appointed dairy and food eommieioner the first of the year. Helme was appointed deputy dairy and food commissioner' under Oilman Dame. Owing to the fact that Helme was a democrat, his appointment as deputy by Gov. Osborn was entirely non-political. Helme was picked because of his fitness for the position and his expert knowledge of the dairy business. Ferris has officially decided upon James Scully, of Ionia, as the successor to George W. Dickinson, of Pontiac, as a member of the state railroad commission. This is another of the choice pieces of patronage at the 'disposal of the new governor, as Scully's term will be for six years, and the salary Is $3,000. When the railroad commission was created four years ago, Scully was appointed one of the commissioners by ex-Governor Fred M. Warner. Going Abroad. When Governor Osborn retires from the executive office the first of the year, It may be some time before he steps foot on Michigan soft again, as he says that hie intends to spend much Of his time in travel and wfl prdbsbfr start for some foreign climate si.enee. The chief executive was a newspaper pnlntshetrfor s> great many years and has waste* as-a reporter on MISS HELEN GOULD AND HER FIANCE Miss Helen Gculd, the phUanthroplcal daughter of the late Ja7 Gould, Is to wed Finley J. Shepard, assistant to the president of the Missouri Pacific railroad. MEXICAN FEDERALS SLAIN. Ascension Attacked and Captured by Insurrectos. Refugee federal soldiers arriving in Juarez report that the 250 federal Irregular troops garrisoning Ascension practically were annihiliated when rebels attacked the town. The attack was made shortly after midnight, and fighting continued only for a few hourB. The garrison commander reports by letter to General Trucy Aubert at Juarez that he knew of only fifteen of his men escaping besides himself. He is hiding at a ranch, he writeB. The fate of 150 regulars at Guzman, nearby, 1B not known, but it is believed the town was taken by rebels before Ascension. -- — Through Consul Thomas Edwards, at Juarez, the American state department requested Mexican military officials to rescue J. I. Morris, an American railway man. Morris was taken captive by rebels when he attempted to save a bridge on the Mexico Northwestern railway, which had been flred by rebels. Since Morris carried federal passports, it is feared he will not be given any consideration at the hftnds of the rebels. __ Pneumonia Causes 180 Deaths in State. There were 2,830 deaths in Michigan and 4,691 births during November, according to the mortality report of the secretary of state. By ages, there were 465 deaths of infants under one year of age; 156 deaths of children aged one to four years, both inclusive; and 957 deaths of elderly persons. Important causes of death were pulmonary tuberculosis, 175; other forms of tuberculosis, 30; typhoid fever, 32; diphtheria and croup, 48; scarlet fever, 11; measles, 10; whooping cough, 11; pneumonia and broncho-pneumonia, 180; diarrhea, enteritis under two years of age, 56; meningitis, 24; influenza, 7; cancer, 159; violence, 187. Taft Escapes Big Explosion. A few moments after President Taft and his party entered the National theater, in Panama, where they were guests at a Christmas ball given by President Porras, a terrific explosion wrecked a kiosk in Central avenue, the town's principal street. The president had just passed that way and the firemen and police guard were still on duty. Investigation showed that the explosion was caused by dynamite. One man was seriously hurt and many persons slightly injured. * The president and those with him smilingly attempted to belittle the incident, saying that they believed the explosion had no connection with the presence of President Taft Nevertheless, a rigid investigation was begun by the authorities at the command of President Porras Immediately after the cause of the disturbance became known. GOV-ELEGT FERRIS' MESSAGE. Primary Reform Issue to Receive Large Measure of Attention. Gov.-elect Ferris has completed his inaugural message—a document that for brevity, straight-arm jabs, and incandescence will rank with the strongest documents of similar nature filed in the capitol, it is declared. Gov. Ferris has left the democratic state platform to speak for itself, according to close friends, and in his message he does scarcely more than mention most of the measures formally advocated by the party. One of the exceptions will be the primary election laws, it Is announced, as Gov. Ferris has always made the alleged lack of worth in those laws a nobby. CONGRESS WILL BE BUSY Seven Important Hearings Scheduled for Session After Holidays. An Investigation possibly unprecedented in the history of the house will be ushered in when congress reassembles in January. Members of the house will divide their attention among seven distinct investigations scheduled to begin immediately after the holidays. They are: Inquiry into the so-called money trust; hearings before the ways and means committee preliminary to tariff revision by the next congress; the probe into the New Haven-Grand Trunk railroad situation In New England; the Judiciary committee's hearings on general trust legislation; the Inquiry into the ramifications of the so-called foreign and domestic shipping trust by the merchant marine committee; the Glass sub-committee's Investigation incident to the framing of a currency bill, and the inquisition Into the affairs of the office of superintendent of insurance in the District of Columbia. The Insurance inquiry will begin Dec. 26, with the District of Columbia commissioners on the witness stand. These committees will endeavor to complete their work by the end of tho session. It Is estimated that the investigations wilt cost more than flOO,- 000. et the Isigest papers .In.-Hit Msntryjf Tnent Consequently* if he desires to enter ftte jwtrtanttln —Id agst* he iNRnot he out of s "job" as som%'bl <h**»*> est aewsps»ers and mUgesfnsi ra the tJntted S*st«s fcgve seed* him sftract. tve off trs to sei as ws^ correspond- Out of 730 postcard queries In regard' to a commission form of government for Bay City about 760 were returned, and air were in favor of the commission.

Representative Ashmon H. Catlln, of Webbervllle, Ingham county, has announced two bills which he is framing to be presented to the next legisalture. One. provides for the erection of a workhouse in Lansing similar \p the one in Detroit, to be used to house prisoners from counties of central Michigan. Such a structure Is In great demand owing to the fact that Detroit will no longer contract with counties. Catlln's proposed second measure would oausej the present mortgage tax law to be repealed, substituting the law on the statute books of 1891, which provides mortgages to be deducted from estates.

CHAPTER IX.—Continued. 'There's no other explanation," he decided, conclusively. "You mean he committed suicide?" ^Call it what you like, sir." "But there was no reason for him to do such a thing," I objected. "I understand he's been pretty ill, sir." "He was 111, yes. But he was on the road to recovery." And then, with the realization that I was speaking of Cameron in the past tense, as though it were already settled that I should never see him alive again, a shiver of horror swept over me. I know Mac- Leod observed it, for he said: "There's been a drop in the temperature, In the last half-hour. It'll be more comfortable in my cabin, sir, If you don't mind coming in, and talkjjhe thing over a bit." Heavens, MacLeod," I exed, turning on him with nervous wmm ery, "do you expect me to sit down and talk calmly at such a moment? I can't It's all I can do to stand -sttth here-, for a- minute at a time. I feel I must do something. It's torture to have ene's hands tied this ay." I^think I know how you fesl, sir. " "Walking the deck will do ho good, f you could calm yourself enough k It over quietly, we might get n to something that would guide so to speak." Guide us?" I repeated. "Yes,5 sir. It's not Impossible, you know, sir, that when he went overboafd he was picked up." The light from his cabin porthole illuminated us both, and now as he looked at me he must have seen my perplexity. "You said yourself, sir," he explained, "that you thought you heard the exhaust of some sort o' craft not far away." It was. this reminder, I think, which brought back my wool-gathering wits and steadied me to a perception of the real importance of the captain's plea. Of one ^hing, at least,. I was assured: Cameron was not a suicide. How he could have gone over the taffrail without my seeing or hearing him, I: should never taxable to understand. But gone he was, and it lay upon me to discover by whose assistance thia marvelous disappearance was accomplished. "And so 1t eame about that, controlling my futile unrest, I was presently seated in MacLeod'* swivel chair, while he, from a place on the aide of bis berth, fired pointed ques-| tio** at^_ me, which I-either answered as best t could or returned in kind.. "Kow maybe it'si none of my business, Mr\ Clyde, but In view of tonight's occurrence I think it's petti. nent to know why there was such a •I?.'- V;?J / Sfc ;•*.<. r%xorougti inspection of the Sibylla before we sailed, and such a lot of can- Uon regarding the crew."

"You see," i went o«, In-.elucidation, "Mr. Cameron djtf ndti know.about this last threat. JJe^atftll when the letter came, andrwe^'fcepi ^ tron» him" It was evident to ine tbsfcvthe captain disapproved,, but _ he/Held his peace. JV ' "What were the previous threats?" he asked, presently. . "Nothing definite," I answered. "Simply that on certain fixed days the writers would demonstrate their power." "And did they?" "Most marvelously." Again MacLeod was silent for a space. "Under the circumstances, Mr. Clyde, don't you think It would have been better if you'd told me about thia?" "Mr. Cameron was very anxious that no one should know." The captain compassed his right knee with hiB locked hands. "All the same," he said, "he'd never have been spirited off this yacht if I'd a' known what was in the wind." This statement annoyed me, and I resented it "What could you have done?" I asked. "I was with him almost continuously." There came a strange, half-meditative, half-bqld look in /the man's eyes, and I was wondering what it portended, when, quite ignoring my question, he began speaking: ' "You see there oughtn't to be any misunderstanding between you and me, sir. This is too serious a business to be bungled because I am only captain of this yacht and you are the owner's friend. So, If I speak plainly, sir, you'll understand why, and not think me disrespectful." I smiled to reassure him, still puzfled, and added: "Go straight* ahead, captain. You are perfectly right." "Well," he began, "111 tell you, Mr. Clyde. Your story, as you told it to me, has some weak points in it. You say, for instance, that you were with Mr. Cameron almost continuously. Now I'm not mentioning the little while you were in here, early in the evening, but during the last quarter of an hour before you gave- the alarm, you weren't with him, either." I stared at the speaker for an instant in absolute dumb amaze, "I don't know why you say that," I said, at length, more hurt than angered. "I told you that from the moment I last spoke to him, seated beside him there on the after-deck, until I turned from the rail and found him gone, not more than two minutes elapsed. And that was God's truth." "You said you were listening for what you thought sounded like a motor boat, didn't you?" "I did." "And you were leaning over the taffrail, looking for it, weren't you?" "I was." "But you didn't see it?" "No, I didn't See it; and I couldn't hear It after the first few seconds." The eaptain had fixed a gase on me that seemed aimed to penetrate to my soul's fiber. After my answer he was silent a moment Then he said: "Where were you, Mr. Clyde, when that boat—motor, tug, or whatever she was—crossed within ten feet of the dory we are towing?" Had he struck me in the face ! could not have been more dumfounded. "What do, you mean?" were the only words that came to me. "I mean that the craft you have been^alking about came up and went astenr of us, ten or twelve minutls before1 you gave the alarm that Mr. Catneron bad vanished under your eyes. I was on the bridge and saw it myself—Just s bUck_|hape, without lights, and, her exhaust muffled, Just as you say* You tell me that you and Mr. Cameron had been sitting there for three hours, at least; that you neartVoevefr belle strike; that It was not moce than fifteen or twenty minutes after thia that you.got up and went to the rail, end that jou only stood there two minutes." went to the rail. My impression is f that it was not. I'll admit it is mysterious. The whole awful thing is mysterious." My candor seemed to relieve him. "Well, Mr. Clyde," he said, with equal sincerity, "maybe I was outspoken, but I wanted to know what you'd say.to the points that were puszling me." "You did perfectly right," I told him. "As you have said, there must be no secrets between ua." And then, as-1 resumed my seat, I asked: "What about the fisherman? He hasn't evaded his guard, has he?" MacLeod sat down again too. "He's in where I put him, now," he answered with a Bhade of reluctance, "but—I'm not sure; it's almost aB myBterious as the other—but I could have sworn I saw him come up that for'ard hatchway and go sneaking aft while I was on the bridge." "When was that?" I pressed, eagerly. "About a quarter of twelve." "What did you do?" "Nothing, just then. I waited. And while I was waiting I saw that black, spooky craft, come out of the dark, and go skimming astern of us. A little after eight bells I came down from the bridge—I stopped there for just a minute to have a word with Brandon when he came up—and then I went myself to look after Johnson and the man I'd set to watch him. The fisherman was in a bunk sound asleep, and the man swore he had been lying there snoring, for the past two hours. 'Who was it came up the ladder twenty minutes ago?' I asked. He looked at me as if he thought I was gone suddenly loony. 'Before the watch changed?" he asked. I nodded. 'Not a soul came or went,' he said, 'since I been here.'" "And the boat without lights?" I questioned. "Did yon inquire about her? Who else saw her?" "I asked the lookouts; but—well, no, Bir—and that's very strange to me —neither of them saw her. I g&ve them both a rating. If they weren't asleep I don't see how they could have missed her." The thing was growing more and more baffling. MacLeod was the last man to be accused of imaginative fancies. He was thoroughly in earnest in what he had told me; and yet for neither of his statements had he the smallest corroboration. For my own part I was sure that, at the time he mentioned, no vessel of any description had passed anywhere near us. "What did you make the craft out to be?" "Well, sir, I couldn't say exactly. She was in sight only a minute, coming in range of our own lights. She looked more like a tug than anything else;, but she had more speed than any tug I ever saw. She hadn't the lines of a yacht." "She wasn't a pilot boat?" "Oh, no, sir. New York pilots don't cruise this far east, and the Boston pilots wouldn't be so far away from home either." I offered the captain a cigar, which he declined, filling his pipe in preference. When I lighted a cigar myself, I asked: "I suppose you have some theory, MacLeod. You don't seriously think | l t was suicide?" As usual he was slow to answer, After a thoughtful second, he said: "I'd be sorry to think that, Mr. Clyde. Taking into consideration what you told me about the threat, and connecting that boat with it It looks—" and then he paused, thoughtfill again. "It's not in possibility," he went on, after a second, "that they could have plucked him off with a line. But if that fellow I saw going aft—Oh, Lord, no, sir! It's past me to see a way out All the same, we are keeping that craft in sight *o4 if we can only get thirty knots out of the Sibylla again, well find out what sire is and what her business Is, before morning."

' CHAPTER X. A Woman of Intuition. Ill tidings, always a heavy burden, never .weighed more .heavily on any one than, on me that • dismal, rainy Sunday morning, on which I stepped from the S,ibyllafe Isunch.to the stone .

So, with enough money for a new mast and sail, we had put him and hiB dory ashore at our firpt landing, and had forthwith forgotten him. MacLeod had been inclined to continue the search, but I argued that any further efforts in that direction would be only a waste of time. The craft we were looking for might have come from any one of a thousand places and returned to any one of a thousand more. Some more effective, general and far-reaching atepB must be taken, I held, and taken quickly. Indeed I felt now that to keep secret longor the conspiracy, as indicated in those mystic letters, would be little short of criminal. The aid of the police and the press must be invoked at once, and nothing left undone to trace the crime to ItB source. But my first and most onerous task was to acquaint Evelyn GrayBon with the facts as I knew them. How I shrank from that duty is beyond anything I can put into words. I know it would have been far easier for me to have carried her definite news of her uncle's death. What I had to tell was horrible in its stark obscurity. And yet, If I could have foreseen just what was to follow, I might have spared myself a goodly share of distress. I imagined I knew Evelyn Grayson, before this. I thought I had sounded the profundities" of her forWtude and courage on the night that I spread before her and read with her that third and last letter. But my fancy did her an.injustice. She wa3 even more of a woman than I dreamed. Recently I chanced upon these lines by Thomas Dunn English, which must have been inspired by such a one as she: Bo much <• clear, Though little dangers they may fear. When greater perils men environ. Then women show a front of iron; And, gentle in their manner, they Do bold things in a quiet way. Evelyn Grayson did a bold thing in a quiet way that morning. I have not yet forgotten how marble white she WBB, and yet how bravely she came, with springing step and lifted chin and fearless eyes. I had waited her coming in the music room, with its score of reminders of happy evenings in which he had participated. The chair he usually chose, in the corner, near the great bow window against which the east wind was now driving the rain in gusty splashes, took on a pathos which moved me to weakness. The Baudelaire lyric, spread openpaged upon the music rack of the piano, stirred memories scarcely less harrowing,. A photograph, an ash tray, a paper knife, all commonplace objects of themselves, but so linked to him by association,! became, suddenly, instruments of emotional torture. In this environment, under these influences, I rose to meet her, wordless. Yet my expression and attitude must have spoken loudly enough to confirm the dread that was in her heart, for even before she spoke 1 was sure that she knew. And then she had taken ray two outstretched hands in hers and raised her brave eyes to mine, and low-voiced, but sure and tremorlesB, was saying: "I feared it, Philip. From the very first, I feared it." And when I told her all, to the smallest detail, it was as though she. were the man and I the woman; for the recital had been for me a very painful confession of my own incompetence, and its conclusion left me more nervously unstrung than at any time since the night of the strange catastrophe. With what heroic fortitude she heard the narrative may best | be indicated by the statement that throughout It all she sat calmly attentive, but unquestioning, and with no sign of emotion beyond her continued pallor and a recurrent tensing of her small, white hands. At the end I leaned forward and* with left elbow on knee rested my forehead in my palm. She sat beside me on the same settee; and now she drew closer, and laying Her cool right hand over my own disengaged one, began stroking my hair with her left. For a full minute she said' nothing, then, 1A soothing accents: "I am glad you didn't find the boat That means he Is on It. If you.had found it, it would have been son* ordinary thing having no connection with this affair, whatever;* : It was odd reasoning, but.very feminine, and in an esoteric way, forceful. 'But you made one mis take, Philip,* I had not expected to find such development of intuition regarding worldly matters in one so young, and so fresh from conventual seclusion. And then her judgment seemed to keep pace' with her auguries; for when I Bpoke of Inviting the aid of detectives and the newspapers, she begged me to consider. "I am afraid for him," she pursued gravely. "Publicity might mean death. If they discover they are being nought, they may murder him. Somehow, I fe-el he is still alive; and so we must do nothing that will incite them to further violence." "But," I returned, conscious of the force of her argument, yet failing to see how this paution could very well be axercised, "we can't find him without seeking." wNo, but we can seek him in secret The newspapers must not tell ths world." "The police would of course tell the newspapers," I added. "We can do some things, without the police," was her next assertion. "There are some things that I can do; and there are more that you can do." She was thoughtful for a moment, and then: "I am so sorry about Peter Johnson! You should never have lost sight of him." "We gave him money and God speed," I reminded her. "Captain MacLeod must go back there, where you left him. Where fwas It? Sinsconset? He must trace him. His trail won't lead to Gloucester, I'm sure cf that." My self-esteem was not being vigorously stimulated by the young lady at this juncture. Indeed, I was being made to feel more and more my strategical lirferiority. "And I," she continued, with the methodical expediency of a commander- in-chief, so curiously inapposite in one so young and Inexperienced as she: "and I shall find out about those letters." "Find out what?" I asked in astonishment. "Find out what manner of man wrote them," she amplified. "But how can you?" I inquired. "That seems a pretty big undertaking of itself, for one so small." "I have, thought of a way," she declared, noncommlttally. "And what am I to do?" was my next question, feeling miserably small beside this efficient child. "You must give me the letter you have, and help me look for the others." The first part of the command was easy enough of obedience; for At this 1 raised my head a** tod her with something, lis* ssfn^sje-{that ^fternooc, Just *• i w e * * • * * * ready to run for my trote* I hoard Bvelyn'e voice over the t a b o o s , I f* fisherman, Pster Johnson, h« appeared below, seriat than above, oue>J pKrtou. ft my knowWswoT men went tat anything he waa W M f e r i o ! both W ^ * 1 * y j'eJe^g^^el^^eV e^gg ^^gge^g* ep^s^s^sa-, ge^sejs^r e^gj|Vgg4gejgg^ ^H^^RP', i iment.- : "He was one of them," e hi a tone of eonviction, "How can you say tbatrvi ftefcad* little netted.

There were those connected with the work of securing settlers for western Canada who laut spring prophesied that there would te as many as 175.0OQ new Bettlera from the United States to Canada during the present year, and there were those who doubted that the previous year's figures of 132,000 could bo increased. Recent computation made by the officials of the immigration branch at Ottawa show that the largest estimates made by officials will be 'beaten and that the 200,000 mark from the United States will be reached. As great an increase will be shown In the figures of those Who will reach Canada from other countries this year. The results of the year's work in Canadian immigration will give upward of a total of 400,000 souls. But this is not to be wondered at when It Is realized what is offering In the three prairie provinces and also in the coast province of British Columbia, which is also bidding strongly and successfully, too, for a certain class of settler, the settler who wishes to go into mixed /farming or fruit raising. When the central portion of this province is opened up by the railway now being constructed there will be large areas of splendid land available for the settler. Reference has frequently been made of late by those interested in developing the American west to the large numbers who are going to Canada, high officials in some of the railways being amongst the number to give voice to the fact. The more these facts become known the more will people seek the reasons and these are best given when one reads what prominent people say of it. What the farmer thinks of It and what his friends say of It. James A. Flaherty, eupreme knight of the Knights of Columbus, was In western Canada a short time ago. He says: "If I were a young man I would sell out my Interests in less than two months and come right to the Canadian Northwest, where so many opportunities abound."—Advertisement. Patriotism. A quaint little Incident Is related by a French war correspondent, which sheds light on the enthusiasm and nervousness with which the Greeks entered upon their war with Turkey. When the mobilization orders reached the little town of Chalkls, all owners of horses and mules hastened to comply, but there were no soldiers to escort the animals to Athens, where they were urgently needed, the military being already on the frontier. Thereupon the mayor of Chalkls set an example, which was followed by the j two or three of the oldest lawyers, letter was in my pocket at the mo- pchool teachers, doctors and hotel ment.

Either Cameron had destroyed the letters, or he had them on his person when he vanished from the yacht. At Evelyn's request, however, I wrote copies of those two strangelycouched, malevolent epistles, as nearly as I could remember them; and save, perhaps, for possibly two or three verbal errors they were, I think, quite accurate. "And now," I asked again, "what am I to do?" It was nearly midnight, and I was leaving her, my car waiting in the sopping driveway to carry me borne. "You are not to worry any more than you possibly can help," she told me, with a brave little smile, "for we are going to succeed.

The fooling of instinctive revulsion against parasites of all kinda which eharacterioea humanity generally, and which la due to something mnoh more than the mere pain or annoyance that their bites might inflict, become more interesting as further discoveries show the role of Insects in the spread of disease. Unfortunately this natural abhorrence has not been enough to protect man under conditions of poverty and uncleanliness from harboring such parasites, and now thoBe who understand how much more than a mere personal annoyance is in question from the exlstence of parasites most take up the problem to eradicate them. The possibility of the bedbug conveying relapsing fever, typhoid and leprosy has been suggested and apparently there is no parasite of man that may not be a mode of disease conveyance. Flies, fleas, mosquitoes and bugs not only are all under suspicion, but most of them are also actually demonstrated as ordinary and frequent conveyors of diseases of various kinds. Health authorities must now take up the problem of getting rid of insect parasites in order to stamp out disease. — From the Journal of the American Medical Association.

'us Incident Showing How Hard K la to Force Sanitary Rules on Dirty People. The trials and tribulations of a milk Inspector trying to force Insanitary people to live according to sanitary rules are shown In the Issue of the Healthologlat, the official organ of the Milwaukee health department. The story follows: A Milwaukee milk inspector during a farm inspection, came upon a place hopelessly filthy, disorderly and run down. A motherly person with a big heart, but firm and weird convictions, listened to the young man's suggestions. Then looking over her spectacles pityingly, she said: "Boy, my mother was ninety-seven years old when she died. She was dirtier than I am, and lived In a dirtier house and drank dirtier milk. If she could stand It I guess there, ain't no'reason why I and the city folks that get milk from this farm can't stand It too." And not being able to answer that argument, the milk Inspector left her —kindly withal, but yet voicing her Indignation over "them there new tangled ideas of cleanliness.** FLAIHriELD Mr. George Montague visited at A»hel Duttons last Thursday, Jetues (jaskey and wife ate Xraas dinner at the borne ot Ira Kings.

A beau Is one who arranges Ms curled locks gracefully, who ever smells of balms and cinnamon, who hums the aoags of the Nile and Cadis, who throws bis sleek arms into various attitudes, who idles away the whole day among the chairs of the ladles, who Is ever whispering In soma one's ear, who reads little bllletdotoc from this quarter and that, and writes' them in return; who avoids ruffling his dress by contact with his neightor's aleeve, who knows with whom everybody Is in love; who flutters from feast to feast; who can recount exactly the pedigree of Hirplnus.

The theatrical man just in off the road waB recounting to the New Tork manager bis qualifications for a boi office post. "I don't see that you are any better than a dozen other men I can take my pick from," said the manager. "You say you can sell tickets. So can they. Nobody can sell tickets If people don't come to buy." "No, they can't," said the man, "hut I have the knack of seating people so an audience of 60 people will look Uke 400, and the house will never look empty." "There's a good deal in that," said the manager^ and he gave the man the Job. How Ha Treated Her. A certain osteopath was treating a young woman who had very weak ankles and wrists. As she lived in a: town quite a distance from his ewn. city, he waa forced to leave the city Saturday of each week and go to the town In which the yoong woman lived, give her the treatment Sunday, and return- to the office Monday.

T H E HOUSE A N D SENATE F U L L Y ORGANIZED BEGINS WORK. Weather Was Fine, No Fusat Feathers Or Gaudy Display; Republican Officials Take Oath With Governor, at His Request. settlsof water. Aatuer Woodbridge N. Ferris is now governor Michigan and the first democratic chief executive to be at the head of the state government since Edwin F. Winaus assumed the reins of office 23 years ago. In keeping with the personal request of Governor Ferris the inauguration was simple and devoid of unnecessary display. Apparently the elements were in sympathy with the occasion, for the weather was ideal and the ceremony waB conducted on the east portico of the capitol building and several thousand persons viewed the event from the capitol lawn. At the request of Governor Ferris the republican state officials were sworn in with him. This party included Lieutenant Goveronr Ross, Secretary of State Frederick C. Martindale, Land Commissioner A. C. Carton, State Treasurer John W. Haarer and Auditor General O. B. Fuller. Democrats from practically every county in the state were on hand for the ceremony and they made the most of the occasion. It was the first opportunity they have had to participate in an event of this kind for many years and they enjoyed themselves to the very limit. Currie Is Speaker of House. Efforts to bring about a fusion of progressives, democrats and republicans who opposed the election of Rep. Gilbert M. Currie, of Midland, as speaker of the house, in an effort to make Rep..Noble Ashley, of Detroit, presiding officer, did not materialize and when the roll was called Currie received one of the 54 republican votes. The democrats turned their ^4 votes over to Rep. Farmer, of Livingston county, while Rep. McBride, of Shiawassee, received the votes of the 12 progressives in the lower house. When the republican caucus was held the night preceding the election 14 representatives failed to attend, and State's First Democrat Governor in 20 Yean. Woodbridge N. Ferris. it was feared that some members of the Wayne delegation fyuj succeeded in their efforts to defeat Currie,' but the differences were adjusted and Rep. Currie wiH wieM the gavel during the present session. Clerk Charles S. Pierce, who has had experience in several sessions was re-elected by unanimous vote. Rep. Charles McBride, of Ottawa county was elected speaker pxotem of the house. Over in the senate Dennis Alward, of Clare, was chosen as secretary to succeed E. V. Chilson, who voluntarily retired after several years in that capacity. Senator Frank Scott, of Alpena, was the unanimous choice of the senate for president pro tern. Senate Bills Launched. Republicans in the senate started work early in launching their progressive measures, as several bills of considerable importance found their way into the legislative hopper the first day of the session. Senator Samuel O'Dell, of Oceans county, sent up bills covering the proposed short ballot, which would eliminate from the ballot the names of many state officers; a bill providing for the direct election of United States senators, under a scheme whereby every legislator would have to file a pledge to vote for the men selected e t the primary, and a bill to provide-for state life insurance, limiting the amount of policy for each insured to $3,000. Full Australian Ballot Senator W. Frank James, of Hancock, followed with a bill to establish the full Australian ballot system In this state, under which party label will not be used on ballots, on the theory that it will make it easier for a voter to avoid a mistake in marking his ballot. James also presented a bill to establish a mtoitmim wage scale'for womenland a corrupt practices act1 intended to put an end forever to the use of money in election campaigns. Senator Leonard Verdier, of Rent, came forward with a resolution to approve the proposed amendment to the federal, conetlthttpn which could provide for, the election by the people of United State* senator*. ,, Following is the list of senatorial committees as announced by Lieutenant Governor Ross: Taxation—Wlpplns, Flzg-ibbons, W i n e - gar, Hanley, Smith.

London, a few dayB ago. The fire broke out in the southeastern portion of the building. The flooring and Jolsting were considerably damaged. The outbreak was discovered by the Bank of England authorities, and subdued by their own appliances in 30 minutes. A lieutenant and a dozen men of the Irish Guards on duty at the bank, with fixed bayonets, assisted the police In keeping the crowd back from the building. Geography of Liquor. Mayor Gaynor, discussing city government in his wonted illuminating and brilliant way, said in,New York: "We must not have one reform law for the rich and another for the poor. It is as bad for the millionaire to gamble in his club as for the laborer to gamble in a stuss joint. It is as bad to-become-lntoxlcatedon champagne as on mixed ale.

Men hunting birds are placed at a disadvantage because of the late opening of the partridge season, which commences tbe same day as the deer season, October 15. The state game department relizes the folly of the statute and an effort will be made to change it at the session of the legislature. The plan of State Game Warden Otis is to open the bird and rabbit season October 1, and the deer season November 10.

Spooning, by which is meant that form of affection described by the sage Noah Webster as "acting with demonstrative or foolish fondness," hae been placed upon a solid and responsible bubie in the Lynn high school. Hooks on etiquette for the young usually deprecate spooning, or omit to mention it at all, but in this high school ooys and girls who deuire to spoon have merely to get a permit from their parents. To be more explicit, the principal of the school, observing some mushy scenes In the corridors of the building, recently announced that public lovemaking must stop; but he added that pupils desiring to spoon must bring a written permission from their parents. Spooning thus is reduced to a practical working basis, says the Boston Globe. If you produce the parental permit, presumably you may spoon. So girls who like spooning, and evidently there.are some in Lynn who do, must produce their permit or go unloved. "Mamma, you haven't made me out a spooning permit yet," may be heard in the homes of Mary, Margaret and Estelle, while In another part ot the city, Paul, Henry and Oswald are saying, "Pa, just sign this spooning permit, before you go downtown." When the permits are issued and have been O. K.'d by the principal, there will be an opportunity for organized labor to establish Snoopers' Union No. 1 in Lynn. T H E FINANCES OF T H E STATE ARE IN BEST CONDITION AND STATE PROSPEROUS. MRS. WHITELAW REIO FEW • RECOMMENDATIONS ARE MADE TO LEGISLATURE. In Leaving The Executive Office Ex- Governor Qoborn Gives Advice In Scriptural Quotation. Every other nation except Great Britain that has opera at all has it in its native tongue. France, Spain, Italy, Germany and even Russia have the masterpieces of music sung in words intelligible to the people that bear them. Only we that speak English are content to listen to songs we do not understand and to follow emotions that might as well be rendered in pantomime. The assertion that English is not a singing language was born either of ignorance or of impudence, says the New York World. Our language contains some of the most beautiful songs in the world, and some of the greatest of singers have delighted to render them, Any opera singer could surely learn to sing English as easily as Russian. The first case of stealing an aeroplane occurred the other day at the Puchem aerodrome at Munich. When the pilot, Belat, arrived In the morning he found that some one had broken into his hangar and that the monoplane was missing. On inquiry he found that several persons in the neighborhood had heard the noise of a motor, about 2 o'clock In the morning. Apparently some enterprising pilot had flown away with the machine. In the suburbs of Munich policemen were kept busy scanning the horizon in search of the flyer. Up to the present the" machine has not been recovered. For centuries before Marconi wireless telegraph was known the mystery of swift communication has puzzled many civilized explorers of barbarian regions. In the heart of Africa a missionary discovered the method of hollowing a large gourd, which was then dried, and round it was stretched the skin of a kid, hard and thin as parchment Beaten with a padded drumstick this instrument gives a sound which can be heard eight miles away. And each village contains the expert who can tap the message and send It on. The specialists in tuberculosis, reporting to the French Academy of Sciences, declare that as long at a man retains one-sixth of the lung capccity, with which he is endowed by nature, bit vltalitV remains unimpaired. This la to be noted as encouragement lor victims of consumption. As long as one-third of the original tract of the lungs remains, there is a chance that (cicatrices may form and the wounds of the disease may heal, and this onethird will constitute lung capacity sufficient for the patient to do business upon to the end of a long life. •'IC> .'v: If it Is id become the fixed custom for the women to burn their hats ,when they gain the suffrage, a Question arises which may affect masculine votes.

To the People of the State of Michigan, and their Forty-Seventh Legislature: Section five ot Article six of the Constitution of the State ot Michigan, relating to the duties of the Governor, it as follows: "He shall communicate by message to the legislature, and at the close of his official term to the incoming legislature, the condition of the state, and recommend such measures as he may deem expedient." Obedient to that mandate of the people, I find satisfaction in reporting to you that, although the state had a deficit two years ago to the amount of near a million dollars and was conpequently in diograce, it Is now out of debt and has a surplus in the treasury of near a million dollars. The rate of taxation hae been lowered and should continue to lessen Hundreds of millions of dollars in property have been added to the tax rolls, More should bo added at once. Conditions throughout the state are good. Institutional and departmental efficiency has increased. New economies are bejng practiced and there are many others that may be resorted to. Progressive laws should be enacted comprehending more equal taxation and the assessment* of porperty tangible and intangible now escaping taxation; Insuring greater purity and honesty in elections and returns; conserving the rights of the masses and improving their conditions; divorcing the organised liquor interests from politics; practically and effectively checking the devastation of alcohol, the too easy supply and consequent excessive use of which cause measureless misery; realizing the responsibility of the strong to the weak, the duties of public brotherhood and of the state to all of its. citizens; concentrating responsibility In visible officials chosen by votes in wJeldy election districts; and keeping step with the onward march of better public business, highe- humanism, applied ethics and pure morals. There Is little danger that such new and needful legislation will be created too rapidly for practical adjustment to it of the life and affairs of the state, but heed to this may well be given. It may also be remembered that the form of government Is best that is best administered. I do not need to urge you, as legisaltors, to whom has been delegated all the power of the people of Michigan whose average of citizenship is ihe highest in the world, to be true to your trust, because I have faith that you will be. I do not need to suggest to you that citizenship should take precedure of partisanship and that the welfare of the state is to be thought of before any consideration U given to party politics, because you are as well seized of these axioms as I am. I do not need to request your respectful and patriotic co-operation with the distinguished citizen who bar just been inaugurated Governor of the State, because you will contribute such an attitude of your own free will. And I do not need to obtrude a long message of suggested legislation which would only tend to confuse the new order if remembered, and be of LO 'value If forgotten, because I have conferred with Governor Ferris and he understands the needs of the state as I see them. My administration of affairs is my message to the people. Now permit me, in closing, to quote the eighth verse of the fourth chapter of the Epistle of Paul, the Apostle, to the Philliplans, upon which may rafely be builded the strong and permanent structure of state and In which may be discovered a safe rule of guidance for every action: . "Finally, brethren, whatsoever* things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things aw lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be *ny virtue, and If there be any praise, think on these things." Respectfully, CHASE S. OSBORN. Mrs. Reld is the widow of the late American ambassador to England. Applauds Words of Ferris and Osborn. Governor Woodbridge N. Ferris made his initial bow to the legislature of the state of Michigan Thursday. The retiring governor, Chase S. Osborn, in the same hour faced the legislature in the administration of his office, yet for the last time by right of his office, ^ n d delivered his final official word to the people of Michigan. The occasion was impressive chiefly in the harmony which was shown in the views of the two progressive governors of opposite political allegiance, and in the non-partisan spirit with which each was applauded by the crowd which packed the legislative chamber to hear them. Gov. Ferris repeated almost vebatim one of the paragraphs in the inaugural message of his predecessor and commented on the fact. Mr. Osborn, with delicate ethical restraint, refrained from making any detailed recommendations because, he said, if heeded, his views might embarrass the new governor and, because, he declared, he had abiding faith that the new governor will view public questions as he views them. Balkan League May Disintegrate. Excitement is growing among the Balkan allies, whese union, although maintained in ail official manifestations, is in reality threatened with disintegration. The greatest fear is entertained that Bulgaria, through her representatives in the present peace conference, is working chiefly for her own advantage. Accordingly the series of conversations between Hechard Pasha, head of the Ottoman delegation, and Dr. Daneff, leRder of the Bulgarian envoys, are watched suspiciously. Moreover Greece complains bitterly because Bhe Is no* allowed to retain Saloniki and the Chalcidice peninsula, which is as Greek at Attica, and is lorced to yield Monastlr to Servla, although ' that town contains 20,000 Greeks and only 150 Servians.

He died before doctors who had been hurriedly summoned could do anything to aid him. He was born in Little Rock county, May 6, 1862, and served as district attorney, attorney general and governor, and was elected U. S. senator in 1890. He was married in October,. 1911, to Miss Celia Qarter. At the time he was a widower. He is survived by three sons and four daughters by his first wife. / As.governor "Jeff" was unwise and extravagant and at times sensational his popularity never failed him.

George Howard, 28, sentenced to JackBon prison for wife desertion from Lenawee county last October to three years, escaped from tHe prison. There wHl be no hotel life for Gov. Ferris in Lansing, he having arranged to take up a quiet abode in a private dwelling house with his secretary. Auditor General Fuller reports that a total of $24,000 was paid to the state during 1912 by 55 foreign liquor dealers. There are as many more who either have not paid or cannot be located. The Central Savings bank of Detroit has filed with the state banking department amended articles of incorporation Increasing its capital stock/ from $100,000 to $500,000, with a surplus of $100,000. The Indrakula, W i t h a Big Hole in ' Her Side, Headed for the Beach and Grounded In Time to Save Her Crew. After being rammed by the British steamer Indrakula off Tangier bar in the Chesapeake bay, the tramp steamship Julia Luckenbach was practically split in twain and foundered. Though within easy wireless reach of 10 steamers, 14 liveB were lost after a desperate battle with the seas. Among the drowned are Captain H. A. Gilbert and Mrs. Gilbert. Captain Gilbert and Mrs. Gilbert lived at Itaspeburg, near Baltimore. Nineteen of the crew, were lost. Eight were saved by the steamer Pennsylvania, and six others were rescued by the Indrakula according to a wireless message received at Newport News from the revenue cutter Apache, which went to the Indrakula'B assistance. First Officer Hunt, half crazed by his terrible fight for life, and by the remembrance of the tragedy through which he had passed, at first said that 22 persons had gone down with the ship, but subsequently it was learned that only 28 in all were on board the Luckenbach including the crippled wife of Captain Gilbert. The Luckenbach sank five minutes after the Indrakula, coming out of the fog, dealt her a death blow. Only those on the top deck had time to escape. First Officer Frederick Hunt and seven members of the crew climbed into the rigging and hung there for six hours in the terrible cold until the Danish liner Pennsylvania rescued them. The others, caught below decks, died without knowing what had happened. The Indrakula, with a big hole in her Bide, backed away from the sinking ship and headed for the beach. She was grounded in time for all of her crew to be saved. The Luckenbach reached the capes late Thursday. She ran into the gale blowing but was able to make the passage into the Chesapeake bay. She was slowly working her way up the bay when the Indrakula, driven at a high rate of speed by the gale, bore down on the Luckenbach and the collision occurred. W2&BMETKB H SUldDE. Portugal Uneasy.

Attorneys for the imprisoned dynamite conspirators won a victory in the U. S. court of appeals in Chicago when a writ of supersedeas was granted them and an order issued for the release of the prisoners on bonds from the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan. All will be released, it is believed, except Hockiu. Attorney Zoline presented the petition m behalf of the convicted ironworkers, and argued in support of it, aa did Attorney Krum. Zoline declared that In cases such as the present the prisoners have the right of bail, particularly as the defendants were sentenced and sent to Leavenworth before a hearing on a writ of eror had been held.

As the result of the conferences between President-elect Wilson and democratic leaders in congress during the holidays, these features of the democratic legislative program have been tentatively agreed upon: Congress will be called in extraordinary session March 15 to revise the tariff. A complete scheme of tariff revision will be laid before a caucus of the democratic members of the new house early next March by the democratic members of the ways and means committee. This will include an Income tax if the constitutional amendment on this subject has been ratified by threefourths of the states, and an excise tax if it has not. It will- also include the administrative features of the new law embracing a substitute for the present maximum and minimum clause. Any changes in the internal revenue taxes made necessary by reductions in the customs tariff also will be laid before the caucus. The democratic caucus will decide whether the schedules will be reported and passed by the house separately or as one bill Michigan.

V " Rs •6- CHAPTER X.—Continued. Very briefly she explained that she had seen the professor that morning, and had laid before him the original letter and my copies of the others, and that he had kindly promised to make a careful ctudy of them and acquaint her with the result later in the day. She thought It better, however, that I stiould call upon him for his conclusions, she said, as they would probably be verbal, and she doubted her own ability to convey them to me "with entire accuracy. Of course she had told him nothing as to the circumstances surrounding the letters. As they bore no dates, and were unaddreased, she had him to infer that they were autographic curiosities belonging to her uncle, In which we „were all three Interested. I had met Professor Griffin on several occasions. Once or twice he had { contributed articles to The Week, and while we were scarcely Intimate, we were on terms of friendly acquaintanceship. He was an oldish, whitehaired gentleman, of rather the ascetic type, with long, somewhat peaked face, and light, watery blue eyes, which seemed to bulge behind the strong lenses of his gold-bowed spectacles. He received me In his study, a spa-' clous, book-lined room on the second floor oft his old Colonial stone house. "I have been deeply interested, Mr. Clyde," he began, "in the autographs and copies which Miss Grayson brought to me. They are unique specimens of English composition, in that the Oriental Influence is so clearly demonstrated throughout. Do you, by any chance, know where Mr. Cameron obtained them?" I was hardly prepared for this question, but I answered as promptly as possible that they had recently come into my friend's possession, I believed, but from Just what source I had not learned. The three sheets lay before him on the writing-shelf of his old-fashioned mahogany secretary; and now he took up one /ot the copies, holding it at some distance from his eyes, as though his glasses, thick as they were, were not as powerful as his sight required. ' "The three writings," he went on, in the tone of a class-room lecturer, "evidently form a series, of which, I take It, this Is the first" , "The one which says, Take warning of what shall happen on the seventh 4ayT' I queried. T e a . That Is th* first. The other of the copies, In which occurs the phrase 'once more/ it, of course, the second. And the original autograph U the last? "Exactly," I agreed. It teemed to f me that all this was very obvious, but i» cotirtesy X could not say so, "AH three," he continued sagely, "begin, at you mutt have observed, wfth the'tame sentence, That which you have wrought shall in turn- be >t upon you/ That it a quota* quoUion!" I exclaimed, to sur- ;.4*& 1 v- •X. quotation from Menoiut, the expositor of C$nfnclut, who lived £/Q«m V» 3tf. In the drigfngl, * word meaning *Bewire< precedes the warning, and a more literal traotlattoB of the. pateage would be: •Beware! Vfrtt'prtceeds from you wtt return t* you a g e h V - It teetoed toMM t h * wit taking a great deal for granted. I feared that the profettor, like m*7 J f W t t ^ H ,ftbjehosed m* ,,,, r , .,, ;..... l < *» i**"1 through the series, other quotations that are unquestionably of Chinese origin. The first letter, for example, concludes with: 'The ways of our God are many. On the righteous he showers blessings; en the evil he pours forth misery.' This is from the Book of History, or 'Shu King,' in which are the documents edited by Confucius himself. It usually has been rendered in this way: 'The ways of God are not invariable. On the good doer he sends down all blessings, and on the evil doer he sends down all miseries.' That is the more exact rendering. And again, In the second letter we find—" He paused a moment, takng up the second sheet, and focusing .lis dim eyes upon the lines. "We Ind," he went on, ".'Fine words and i smiling countenance make not virue,' which Is from the Lunhu, or Analects' of Confucius, In which the lews and maxims of the sage are etailed' by his disciples. 'Smiling ountenance' is hardly the best transition. 'Insinuating appearance' is lore nearly the English equivalent, nd I should prefer/ 'are rarely connected, or associated, with virtue' to make not virtue.' " "Those, of course, are unmistakably rauslatlons," I agreed. "And so are the concluding sentences of the third, the autograph, letter," he assured me. " 'Say not Heaven is high above! Heaven ascends and descends about our deeds, daily inspecting us, wheresoever we are.' I find it in one of the sacrificial odes of Kau, and it is the best rendered of all the excerpts." "So your conclusion as to the authorship is—?" I queried. "Chinese, undoubtedly," he answered. "These were written, I should say, by a Chinaman, educated, probably, in this country. His English 1B the English of the educated Oriental, but the quotations from Confucius and j his commentators are characteristic. With the average Chinaman, to know Confucius is to know all; what he said is all-sufficient; what he did not say Is not worth saying. Another identifying feature is the effort to make afraid. Their religion is fear." Having concluded his exposition, Professor Griffin was disposed to enter upon a more or less lengthy discourse on Chinese character and literature in general. However illuminative this might have been under ordinary conditions, I was assuredly in no mood to listen to It at this time. The information he had given me, while it merely verified suspicions which I had held from the first, set me to speculating on the individual source of the letters; and with so modern an instance at hand I was naturally disinclined to consider the authorship of writings dating back often a thousand years and more beyond the Christian era. With what grace I could, therefore, I discouraged a continuance of the theme, and having thanked him most [.heartily, pocketed the notes with which he was good enough to furnish me, and prepared to depart. But as I stood at his study door, his lean, scholarly hand resting in mine, he detained me for a final word. "The symbol!" he exclaimed, his pale eyes lighting at the recollection. "We forget the symbol!" ' "Oh, yea," I returned, my Interest revived, "that silhouette at the bottom." "It is unmistakably Chinese," he said. "I am not very familiar with the symbolism of the East, not as familiar at I should be, possibly; but Chinese writing, you know, in its origin, it picture writing with the addl* tton of a limited number of symbolical and conventional designs. This figure, I should say, represents a lorcha, or small Chinese coasting junk, and you can rest assured that the threats contained in the letters were with & view to reparation for tome crime or injury connected In some way with such a vestal. That it at near at I can interpret i t But if you would like to know more—if you would like to get something more nearly definite—I can refer you to one who can, I think, give yon the information." "By all meant," I implored, "I shall appreciate it greatly." "An authority on this subject it living not very far from here. He spent 1 many years in China/ la something of fan artist himtelf, and made, I understand, a study of Oriental tymbolitm. He lives at Cos Cob> a»d his name "MurphyV r interrupted, a t a flood of illumination swept over me. "Philetus Murphy. Yet. Do you know M a t " -1 have mot him," I returned short-) iy." t- • • ' ' ^ And thaaWng the profester v once more, I hurried away, with a coarse 61 action already shaping to my mind. « / CMAPTWt XI. *&.*:»>> ^ V „ *>• < The 6ftlitt*» MeroJiant . It was while Professor Grtffla was tt^v«"g of Csiaste charactettttlet tfcftt « *tO« Ms* <%e* t t t i something about the average Chinaman's disinclination to speak of death, directly, and how he invariably employed some euphemism. The phrase "pass from sight of men into torment" the professor pointed out as an illustration. And then I remembered little Mow Chee, who was in my class at Yale, and how, once, in speaking of the demise of a fellow classman, he had used the odd expression, "he has saluted old age," which I afterwards learned was quite a common form in China. It was now a year or more since I had seen Mow Chee, but I recalled that at our last meeting I had made a note of his address; and so on reaching my deBk the next morning I looked it up. Curiously enough a private detective agency which 1 had arranged* to consult chanced to have Us office in the same building ou lower Broadway as the Pacific Transport company, by which Mow. Chee was employed; and thus the plan which had been shaping mentally the previous afternoon, as I hurried away from Professor Griffin's, was readily set in motion before noon of the day following. In the evening I had discussed it with Evelyn; and though the detective feature did not at first meet with her approval, she eventually conceded that it was a necessary part of the project. It was agreed, however, that the real purpose for which that aid was invoked should not be divulged. Philetus Murphy was to be shadowed and dally reports wero to be made to me. That he had been under suspicion of brutally murdering his Chinese servant Was sufficient reason for the proceeding, and to the detective agency I gave no hint of any further consideration. As for my Celestial classmate, I waB not by any means sure that I should find him at the Pacific Transport offices. I knew that for some time China had been calling upon her sons of western education to return to their mother country for service, and I feared that little Mow Chee might already be customs taokai of Shantung, or some other imperial province., But my miBgivings were very promptly allayed; for no sooner had I stepped within the outer office than he saw me. and came hastily forward, with a smile of greeting on his square, flattened, yellow face. His desk was just back of the long counter which ran the length of the room, and a glance at its piled contents showed me that he was very busy. Moreover, there was no opportunity here for the privacy which I desired; so after an exchange of greetings, and a few conventional inquiries* I invited Mow to lunch with me at the Savarln, at whatever hour would best suit his convenience. Somewhat to my dismay, he fixed upon one o'clock. As it still wanted ten minutes of noon I now had over an hour of leisure, which, as may be imagined, promised to hang rather heavy* the more so, aB I was impatient to make some real progress in my quest. Wall street being at hand, I concluded to call on a friend there who usually handles my investments, and make a convenience of his office. On the way, 1 bought an afternoon paper, and as my broker happened to be at the Stock Exchange, I had ample opportunity to read it from first column to last. It proved about as thrlllingly interesting as the early afternoon reprints of what one has already read at breakfast usually are, and I was about to drop it to the floor, when my eye caught a group of headltnea on the latt page, which, up to that moment, had escaped me,* but which now suddenly riveted my attention: CELESTIAL CLAIMS -MYSTERIOUS BOX ON FALL RIVER PIER. Anything concerning Celestials, I suppose, would have attracted me, jutt then, but the burden of this was so peculiarly pertinent, that it teemed at if it mutt have Intimate connection with the tangle I had undertaken to unravel. With the paper gripped tightly in both hands, and my head bent intently forward, I raced through t h e frtvo> loutly-written article which followed; and from a superabundance of cheap wit and East tide slang managed, to extract the somewhat meager facts. A truck, driven, by a Chinaman, it teemed, had that morning taken from the pier of the Fall River Line* a square box, meaturing about Ave feet each way, and perforated with a number of auger holes. The brilliant space-writer had 'given hit imagination free rein as to the contents, speculating as to the possibilities, from edible Chinese dogs to smuggled opium, but he had omitted \o furnish the name and address of either the oon* ttgao* of consignee. "The* truck/ draw* by the sltaJt-eyeA white horse, aftfl drtven by the phlegmatic Chink, clatter** away in the , direction, of Mott street*" the account coucrsded. After all, it was a very common nation. Nevertheless, I thrust the paper Into my pocket. Mow Chee might throw some light on the matter. He would know, in all likelihood, what sort of goods were shipped by way of the Fall River Line to his countrymen in New York. We secured a corner table in the Inner room at the Savarln. It was not so crowded there and it was less bustling and noisy. My companion attracted some little attention, of course, but not sufficient to prove annoying. New York, as a rule, pays small heed simply to the unusual, and Chinamen are common enough not to be absolute curiosities even in the big downtown restaurants. A very dapper little fellow was Mr. Mow; neatly and inconspicuously clad, and well brushed and combed. He was for recalling old college days, when he was coxswain of the class crew and.I pulled the stroke oar, but my time was too precious for such reminiscence, and as speedily as possible I broached the subject I had at heart. "Now," I began, perhaps less delicately than I should, "there's a saying, you know, that the only good Indian is a dead Indian. That wouldolt apply to the Chinese, would it? And yet, while there are some very excellent Chinamen, there are some pretty, bad ones, aren't there?" He grinned, exposing his fine teeth. "Oh, yes," he answered, "there are good and bad, but the percentage of had is less In my country than in some others." I caught the significance of IIIB remark, and realized that I deserved the rebuke. "And amongst the educated Chinese, here in Now York?" I went on, without stopping for comment, "There are a few bad?" He was still Bmiling. "Bad?" he queried. "What do you mean by bad? There are Borne who have vices, yes. Some gamble, some smoke opium; some get the best of a bargain." "Are there some who would kill?" I asked, bluntly. "Oh, no, no!" he protested, without raising his voice. "I certainly should hope there are none such among the educated." And then I told him about the three letters, and what had happened, omitting only Cameron's name and place of residence. Imperturbable little chap that he was, he listened without emotion. When I concluded he said: "You are sure they were Chinamen who did this?" "Would men of any other nationality quote Confucius and Mencius?" I asked. "No, I think not," was his reply, "and yet It might be done by crafty persons to mislead." But I could not agree with him. "We are not revengeful as a nation," he said, "we are rather long-suffering. If Chinamen did what you tell me, it wa3 In return for some very great injury; some crime, I should say, against their parents or near kinsmen." "But my friend was never In China," I declared. "And he was the last man in the world to harm anyone." For a little while Mow Chee ate In thoughtful silence. Presently he looked up. "Clyde, my friend, I know so little \ of my own people here in New York. But one man I know, a merchant, who is very prominent and very upright. He is a big man in the Six Companies. I will give you a card to bim; you can speak to him in confidence, and if he can help you, he will, not only because I sent you, but because he stands for all that Is beat, and- desires that my countrymen In the United States shall have the respect they deserve from your cltiaent. I would send you.to the Chinese Con tul, but-my friend, Mr. Yup Sing, i* better." < My hand was on the newspaper in my pocket, but I did not ahow ff to Mow Chee. I would reserve it for the encyclopaedic Yup Sing, whose ud« dress, at written on the card which my classmate furnished me, was on Mott street, a few doors from Pell. New York's Chinatown it a much more familiar locality to the transient visitor than to the average citizen. In all the years of my residence in the metropolis, of which I am a native, 1 had never before had either th,e occasion or the desire to dip into this mott foreign of all the city's foreign sections. . To me, Chinatown was as a far country. Vaguely I had an idea of its location It lay, I knew, east of Broadway and west of the Bowery ;< but its latitude was not dearly defined. My impulse was to hail a cab, give the driver the number of the Mott street establishment, and so, without farther Individual effort, bo whirls? away tenry dettmatioo. But there are no cab stands on lower-Broadway; and to walk to Broad,street, where the cabman lift stl day fa wait for the prosperous stock broker and bis sitsjstostsr, MtBjgsrtsr tspra van place, everyday occurrence, f»robably , ^ a t ^ t r boles were omTy t?»o^ holes,, ...... . ^..^-.--,, -L to grant. Therefore I boarded a Bxoadway car and was drawn haltingly northward, until, on reaching ) -Canal \ street, I alighted in sheer d and turned eastwards * Here a letter, carrier, of whom I Inquired, Bpetl me straight to my goal— a couple of blocks as I was going, a turn to the right, a few blocks more, and th<? bulk windows of the Yup Sing Company would come into view. I found the establishment easily enough. But had it not been for the name printed in big Roman lettering, I should never have imagined it a Chinese business house. There waB no display of goods in the big windows, which were screened half way up by light blue shades, giving the front an appearance similar to that of the average American wholesale house. Having passed inside, however, there was no such illusion. All about me were the characteristic products of the Orient, from brilliant silken embroideries, and exquisite gold and silver and bronze work, to cheap cotton and linen fabrics, lacquer furniture, and straw slippers. And the atmosphere was further enhanced by the half-dozen or more Chinamen who were lounging in the middle and far distance, each with shaven crown and coiled queue and each in the more or less brilliantly colored native dress. One of thetse, a comparatively darkly- a-;tircd young man with full, round visage, came forward as I entered. "Is Mr. Yup in?" I asked. He was inclined, I saw, to hesitation and so I produced Mow's card. "Oh, yes," he said, after studying it for a moment. "Oh, yes. Mlsta' Yup! Ho in." With which he left me, and taking the card with bim disappeared behind some draperies at the back of the big crowded store. Between the others, who regarded me for a moment only with idle interest, there was, while I stood there, a rapid exchange of observations In their native tongue, mingled with a sort of high-pitched cackling which I assumed to be laughter. I had turned my back towards them, but presently a shuttling of fe<?t along the floor informed me of the approach of what I imagined was my returning emissary. On whirling about, however, it was to face an elderly man in purple silk garments and a black skull cap—a man of thin, almost cadaverous yellow visage, whose upper lip and chin were adorned with a sparse growth of silky blue-black hair, and upon (he bridge of whose nose rested a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles. "You would see me, sir?" he asked, and I noted that there was scarcely the slightest indication of tne foreigner in cither pronunciation or accent. "If you are Mr. Yup," I smiled, "you can, I fancy, from what Mr. Mow tells me, give me the Information I am in search of." Ho did not smile in return, but his thin face assumed an expression of benignity that was as much of an invitation to lay my problem before him as were his words. "Anyway I can serve a friend of Mr. Mow," he said, "will be a pleasure." But, aB he spoke, the benign expression passed. Once again that thin saffron- hued face, with its hollow cheeks, and small deep-set eyes, had become unfathomable. At least two of his partners or salesmen were within car-shot, and I turned a significant glance towards them, as I said: "The subject is a confidential one, Mr. Yup. If I could speak to you—" "In private?" he finished. "Certainly, sir. Will you kindly step this way?" He led me to the rear of his store, holding aside a curtain of heavy embroidery, through which I passed into a smaller room, furnished in carved teak wood and ornamented with magnificent specimens of Chinese porcelain and pottery. A little Chinese girl, not over eight years old, and wearing a blouse and wide breeches of a pale cerulean silk, stood beside a table. Before her were several small sheets of rice paper on- which she was makleg designs in water colors. Ignoring the child, he Indicated a ohair near the only window, screened, [Ike the windows In front, with a blue shade. And when I had sat down, he drew up a chair for himtelf opposite me. His manner, in spite of the benignity of a moment before, waa not encouraging, and for a little I was embarrassed as to just where to begin. At length, however, I said: "I fear, Mr. Yup, that tome of your countrymen have recently made a terrible mistake." "A mistake?" he echoed, gravely. "A mistake that I trust it is not too late to repair. Briefly, they have kidnapped a gentleman of fortune and influence, one o r my dearest friends, in a manner most mysterious, after first subjecting him to the annoyance of a series of anonymous letters and a succession of lingular, nerve-torturing acta of trespass." Mr. Yup glanced at Mow Chee's card, which ho still held. (TO BE COIfTINUED.) GET THIS FOR COLDS Prescription for Positive Resulu Don't Experiment.

TOLD HER LIFE'S AMBITION §mall Girl Somewhat Crudely Expressed Her Desire to Be a Teacher When She Grew Up. At one time or another during the ward school life of a little girl there prevalTs the -ambition to become a teacher. Perhaps it is the Indisputable authority possessed by the hand that wields the rules or the nonchallant display of wisdom on topics surrounded by the moat inaccessible difficulties to the small boy and girl. They will nearly always tell their ambitions to a well liked teacher, and one rather surprising declaration was given by a little maid in one of Miss Clara Townsend's room before she became principal of the James school. Among the special favors coveted by the youngsters is the permission to stay behind after school and clean the blackboards. One evening a little girl was given the desired privilege, and while engaged In the task she struck up a shy sort of conversation with Miss Townsend. Finally the usual confession was made. "When I grow up, I am going to be a teacher," she announced. "That so?" pleasantly asked Mist Townsend. "And why do you want to be a teacher?" "Well," was the rather surprising anBwer, "I'll have to be either a teacher or a lady, and I would rather be a teacher."—Indianapolis News. Shopper's Cramp. , Simeon Ford, at a dinner of hotel men in New York, discussed a new disease. "There's a new disease called shopper's cramp," he said "It appears early in December, becomes violently epidemic about the middle of the month und ends suddenly on the evening of the 24th. "Women feel shopper's cramp la the arms, the limbs, everywhere; but it attacks the husband only in one place—the pocket." Balanced. Representative Pujo was talking In Washington about the currency. "It must balance," he said. "It must balance automatically and delicately. It must resemble the Christmas husband." " 'Oh, John, dear,' said this chap's wife, 'I'm so sorry you've got all those heavy parcels to carryt* "'Well, you see,' John panted, reassuringly, 'my pocket is very much lighter now."" A Weakling. "I am sorry to say," remarked the young wife, "that my husband see ma to lack initiative and decision." "What has caused you to think so?" her friend asked. "I have to suggest It every time when he asks for a raise In salary, and then he hesitates for a long time about doing it." Keeping Her Word, Josephine—Do you know to whom Stella Is engaged?

What the White Rose Saw The world teemed very fair and beautiful that summer morning wben I first awoke to a consciousness of lti axiatence and of my own life and fragrance, and thrust a tiny white petal out from among tbe close green leaves to take my flrat view of it I was very. happy in those early days. The bees and humming-birds kissed me aa they floated lazily by and whispered sweet messages of the garden life. They flattered me until I thought I was the most beautiful thing in the garden until she came, and then I lost my heart. A dream of loveliness she was aa she came down the path clothed all in clinging pink, just the color of the moss rosea that grow near me, with. hair like the sunlight that Ilea sparkling on the soft grass, and eyes like dark violets. They told me ehe was a human. One day she stopped by the bush and told us she was very happy, but would soon be much happier; then she patted us and called us her bridal roses, and declared no one should touch ns until she gathered us for her wedding day. The next thing I remember was one beautiful night when I heard steps on the gravel, and looking up saw my ' loved one coming, and with her anoth- | er human, taller and not nearly so ' pretty; he did not look like a flower I at all, unless it were to remind one of the tulips. I never did care much for them. My love was all in white, and looked like the tall lilies that grow near the gate. He was speaking to her in low tones. X could not hear what ne said, but I could hear her voice plainly. She was saying: "Maurice, if there is any truth in this, tell me—I cannot, bear to think you would deceive me." Then I looked up in his face—it looked very white in the moonlight. Then he said: "Ruth, you do not understand; I ASTOEUUS. Aubrey Gilchrist and family ot Pinckney visited at the borne of E.

I heard him plead with her—then he turned suddenly and left her standing quite near me. She stood motionless, as though listening to catch the last sound of his footsteps—the click of the gate sounded in the distance, and then all was silent At last she gave one sob and fell aU In a heap on the gravel near me. How I longed to comfort her—and I think she must have felt my sympathy, for after a while she put out her hand and raised me to her lips and kissed me so tenderly, that even now, though I am old and yellow and shriveled, I thrill at the recollection. After awrhtle she arose and carried me Into the house and up to her ro^p—this was a new world to me, and I wondered what was coming next. She stood for a long while looking out at the moonlit garden, caressing me soft* ly. Finally, she murmured: 'It la no use, I cannot face it" Carrying: me over to a closet she took out a tiny bottle and slowly drank Its contents. 1 had a confused sense of her fingers tightening around me, and then she staggered backward and fen to the floor, and I was still In her hand. All through the night I lay there watching her, wondering why she lay so still and white. After a while a faint glimmer of tijght came in at the windfw; I heard the chirp of birds out In the garden, and the old familiar morning sounds, seeming so faint and far away. How I longed to be down wtU my companions breathing in the toft sweetness of the summer morning.

Over at Howell, two oases bave been decided in justice court which have caused merchants to scratch gravel for county clerk's office to get registered. A firm at Oak Grove sought to collect a bill against a customer. The prosecution proceeded to tell its sad, sad story when the attorney for the defense jumpee} up and sprang a surprise. Says he, sarcastically, "This firm has not complied, with the law and filed a list of its members with their respective interests with the county clerk." f$l)e judge scratched his head, looked wise, and says, "Old boy, yon're right, you've got 'em skiined," and threw the case over the transom mnd took a fresh chew of tobacco. A case from Howell met the same fate. Listen to this! The fileB ID the county clerk's office shows that only comparatively few firms have made their filing and are protected with any right in court. This is serious, because the same law includes a fiue of not, less than 125 nor more than DlOO against each member of a firm doing bnsints* io Michigan, which does not file as provided by this act.—Are there any firms in Pinckney not in the fold?

The rates therefore are fixed from the unit in which the postofSce to located, opt they are the same from that office to any point in any one zone. It will be seen by reference to the table of rates of postage that it will cost more per pound to send a package a long distance than it doea to send It a short distance. The* rate increases for a package weighing one pound at the rate of one cent1 for each zone. No package weighing more than 11 pounds can be sent under the new parcel post law. it should be said right here that on the long hauls the parcel post may not be able to compete with the express companies, but that on shorter hauls It can so compete. It was the expressed desire of the legislators and of the postofBce officials that the parcel post system should be made of particular use' to persons having farm and factory products to transmit to customers. It is probable that producers must study the rates of postage and the convenience of trjSntrulttal and. compare them wtth the cost and convenience under present methods before individually a manftfean determine whether he is to profit or not by the change. Then there is another thing to be considered and which only can be known definitely when, fuller regulations have been made to specify exactly what kind of things can be sent by parcel post. It can be satd in a general way that anything catr hw sent which is properly wrapped and'which wVU not Injure other mall matter with^which it may come in contact. >i * ' - V Copy foreign Ceuntrlea. ' It Is probable that ihe government will adopt a .means of. transportation tot certain, ||n.ds.,Qf its merchandise much like those which have been adopted In parcel post countries abroad.' What the English call hambasket- like arrangements, proby will be adopted, and ae these can be, kept separate from the ordinary mail matter it is believed that the regulatlfnay-as finally adopted will allow the sending of eggs, butter, dressed poultry, live poultry, honey, fruit, s,nd otheY prtduots of the country. The ll-nott$d limit for a single package may wotk at first agalnat any very oextende4_ use of the parcel post for some of the articles which have been named.4 Of course, more weight can be sent if 1t is sent In different parcels, but the cost in that case would be heavier because the t&- trease per pound on a single package ta not great up to 11 pounds,, and probably It would increase at no greater rate If the government were to raise the limit of weight which is now fixed To make It simpler, it wilt l o s t more to send two packages of 11 pounds than, tt ' would. ^ 1 send one package of 22 pounds if the government eventually should allow a hapvi er single package to be carried and should charge. In proportion Just what it does now for one package of 11 pounds weight Every postmaster in the United States will have a parcel post map like the one which is here reproduced except that the zone lines, will be shown with the unit of his poatoflce as a center. AH that a postmaster will have to do when a pareel ia presented for transportation is to Bad out in what tone the destination^ of the package lies. His fable will show him Instantly the rate per pound ftjom :1 it.

The parcel post will take nothing but fourth-class mat ter. Printed matter is still In the third-class designation. Therefore books cannot be sent by the parcel post system. This the postofflce authorities seem to think is in a way unjust and may work a hardship. It may be that in the future the law will be changed so as to Include all printed matter. It seems to be certain that an attempt will be made to bring about this change as speedily as possible. Postmaster Qeneral Hitchcock has ordered that postmasters be advised that parcel post packages cannot be accepted for mailing unless they beaj a distinctive parcel post stamp and have attached to them the return card of the sender. A series of distinctive stamps is now in course of preparation for this class of mall as required by the law creating the parcel post system. Consignments of these stamps will be ready for shipment to all postofflcea in asaple time tor the establishment of the new system oh New Tear's day. The poetofflce department has given Instruction to every postmaster in the country to enlighten his patrons as much as possible on the general subject of the parcel post and especially on the use of the special stamps and the necessary attachment of the return card. The law requires that all fourth-class matter mailed a'ier January'' 1, Mt, without parcelr powt stamps attached shall be treated at "Held for postage" matter. Parcel poBt packages will be mailable only at poatofflceB, branch postofflcea, lettered and local named stations, and such numbered stations as may be designated by the postmasters. Rate on Seeds Not Affected. U should be said that the act of congress whloh putB a parcel post plan into operation does not In any way affect the postage rate on seeds, cuttings, bulbs, roots, scions and plants as fixed by section 482 of the postal laws and regulations. The classification of articles mallable as well as the weight limit, the rates of postage, zone or zones and other conditions of mallabllity under the act of congress, if the postmaster general ahall find on experience "that they or a n y of them are such as to prevent the shipment of articles desirable, or ahall permanently render the coat of the service greater than Che receipts of the revenue therefrom, he la hereby authorized, subject to the consent of the Interstate commerce commission after Investigation, to reform from time to time such classification, weight limit, rates, zone or zones or conditions* in order to promote the aervice to the public or to Insure the receipt of revenue from, such service adequate to pay the cost thereof.'' Through many yeara different mem* hers of the house and senate have been interested In prompting parcel post legislation. Among the men most active in securing the legislation which soon Is to go Into effect as law are Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon, Representatives Davrd J. Lewis of Maryland and William Gutter of New York, who has just bean elected governor of that state. APPROVES RULES FOR PARCEL POST Postmaster General Issues Regulations Governing System. WHAT MAY BE SENT BY MAIL Gives American People Opportunity to Send Farm and Factory Producte by Mail From and to Any Point in United 8tates. Postmaster General Hitchcock has just approved the regulations which cover In detail the articles which may or may not be sent by parcel post These regulations are now being turned off at the government printing office on a "rush order" and they will be distributed as rapidly as possible. The rules as to what can be sent and what cannot be sent and the instructions for the preparation of mallable articles with other "official advice" are given here as they have juat been prepared by the postofflce department In Washington. The minimum rate will be five cents for the first pound and three cents for each additional pound to any point not exceeding fifty miles from the office of mailing; the local rate, watch la five eents for the first pound and one cent for additional pound, applies to aty. mam+am'' #3*am* ^TtttE^OF POSTAGE parcels the delivery of which does not Involve their transportation on railway lines.

Paris has decreed that once again the winter gown shall be diaphanous, carried out in chiffon or muslin Telvet, or at very thickest crepe de Chine or almost gauzy satin. Except in the severest weather there Is something to be said for these dresses, when they are worn by the possessors of magnificent furs, A long fur coat is far too warm to be healthy, if worn over a thick* dress, except on very exceptional days. Unfortunately a .fashion/may be intended for, one class/but it will be copied by others, and the result of eueh a mode as that of the thin winter gown spells pneumonia for a.good many people However, at least the frocks,are, pretty, especially when trimmed, with fur. Pur and old lace o»mhi&ed. are a very fashionable trimming at the moment,, although; a famous French, dressmaker has denounced the mixture as In bad taste, and being; bad art. For the evenings, of course, thin gowns-have it all their own way. Bven brocades have now been brought to seek, a degree of lightness and cuppleKess that they are practically like gauze. Indoor gowns are still being trimmed with pink or pale ground cameos, and they were also seen on hats a*4 coats, so those who possess these fine ornaments can still wear them In this very effective manner. SMART CRAVATS AND STOCKS Old Fashion, WMch Has Much to Recommend It, Will Be Welcomed Back to Favor. One rejoices to see that again w« _Are_ io_ wear -cravats and stocks of folded black silk and satin, with small turned-down stock collars of white lawn showing narrow^ at the top. Severe as it is, this t i t h e moat becoming form Of neckwear possible, and if the lawn 'turnover is not starched (but the laundress will stiffen it if she gem the chance) the severity is by DO means too great. The finishing toadies of the cravat, too/help to remove the touch of sternness. Neat and small the bow may be—but with what pointed ends, and with how much daah In its crisp lines! A very smart' notion is'to Thave the boV?at the base of the throat made of "narrow ribbon, three-quarters of an inch wide. This enables the bow to hare the requisite spring In l u lines, and also to be small, where ribbon of the same wldth'as- that arotftta the neck is altogether too" flowing For theT little lawn turnovers, plain hemstitching U the Ideal adornment, tubugh a n o r rotf ejtfifcg of crochet is perhitssrsft1 or a little white embroidery.

' 'is—- [By Gurd M. Hayes.] If the wishes of Governor-elect Ferris are respected, and there is every reason to believe that they will be, the inauguration of the first democratic governor elected in Michigan In more than two decades will be entirely devoid of ostentation or unnecessary display. In keeping with the quiet, dignified personality of the man who is to preside over; the destinies of ths> Wolverine state for the nefcti two years, Woodbridge N. Ferris will be ushered into the executive chair without the blare of trumpets or the flashing of gold lace. Plans for the inauguration have been perpared by Edmund II. ShleldB, chairman of the democratic State central committee, at the request of the governor-elect. Major itoy <;. Vander- .cock, commander of the flret battalion of field artillery, and adjutant general of the Michigan,National Guard, haa been commissioned to extend an invitation to the state officials and justices of the supreme court to participate iff he evens of he day. As the clock tolls the'hoh'rof twelve at noon on the first day of January Governor-elect Ferris and the other state officials will stand on the front porch of the capitol building and re* oelve the oath of office which will be administered by Chief Justice Joseph B. Moore of the supreme court. As soon as the gray-haired jurist pronoupces the words that will bind Woodbridge N. Ferris to the people of Michigan, the governor's salute of 17 guns will, be fired by the artillery. If weather conditions prevent the holding of this ceremony on. the. capitol steps, the officers will receive the oath of office in the senate -chamber. In view of the fact that this is the first time in more than twenty years that a democratic governor is to be inducted into office democrats from far and wide In the state are planning to come here for the inauguration and special attention is to be paid to these visitors. Patriot democrats have announced that they are coming out in two special trains. After he has received the oath of of- Oce Gov. Ferris will hold a reception for half an hour to state officers and members of the legislature, andthe has extended an invitation to Gov. Osborn to assist him. After the legislators and state offiolala have passed through the receiving line the ezcutive parlors will be thrown open to the general public, this reception being particularly for the out of town people who will not remain over night. In this feature an entirely new custom is established, previous governors not haying' invited their predecessors of a different political party to share wiih them in the events of the day. In the evening (fr$m 8 o'clock. Gov. and Mr*, Ferris, thelf son, Carlton and. wife, their son, Phelp's, the justices of the supreme court, the state offloers aad their wives, will hold a re* caption in the excutive parlor. At both receptions the First Battalion Field Artillery, In full dress uniform, will furnish the ushers and have control of the crowd, while the artillery battalion band will render a concert fn the routunda of the capitol. The Oil inspector. Governor-elect Ferris-1s In favor of abolishing two jobs that Governor OSborn, looked upon with disfavor when he came into office two years a g o - state oil inspector anil state salt inspector. The legilatiire refused to heed the request of, Osborn that these two departments be abollahfid* and it is extremely doubtful whether the next chief executive wil lbe able to aoconv plish much along thialtee. The democratic governor-elect says that hit message will be brief and to the point. If this Is true, it will be somewhat of an Innovation, as it hat required some governor* fn recent years nearly an hour tov read their in* augural at the first joint sesslon'of the two housei. .^ ,,.

The progressives wil lhave a candidate for the speakership in Rep. Mo* BrAde, of Burton, Shiawassee county, while Rep. GlaasneiS of Barry county, and Rep. Farmer,'',of Liinvtngston county wHl aspire to'the nomination in the democratic caucaa There has been some talk to the effect that the democrats and progressives will align themselves with the disgruntled republicans In an effort to control the house and elect a speaker, but little credence is given to this in Btate political circles. Whoever the speaker of the next house may be, he will be able, if he sprinkles his committee appointments judiciously, to became a powerful factor in the politics of Michigan. Some of tl»e most important propositions that have been considered in years will be up to the 1913 legislature, and as usual, the committees will be the big factors in determining the fate of some of the proposed measures. Congressional Districts. Under the provisions of the new constitution adopted in 1908, it la required that the legislature of 1913 shall reapportion the congressional, senatorial and legislative distracts of the state. Therefore, if Is expected that there will be a general scramble among the mtmbersof the house to secure the appointment as chairman of the committee on apportionment. The present congressmen will naturally want the congressional districts arranged to their best advantage, while the members of the house who have ambitions to become state eenatorsr will -endear* or to have the senatorial districts blocked out to suit their convenience. When the last United tSates census was completed, It was found that Michigan's Increased population entitled this state'to one additional congressman. This condition was met by providing a congressman to be elected from the state at large and Patrick H. Kelley, former lieutenant governor, i$g chosen as the thirteenth congressman at the recent election. All indications point to some \lvely wire pulling and intricate maneuvering when the proposition of redisricting the state comes up for consideration at the next session. Because of its population the city of Detroit will ask that It be allotted two congressmen. At the present time Wayne county Is split Into three different congressional districts, It will be impossible to add to the number of state senators or representatives as the constitution provides that there shall not be more than 82 senators or more than 100 representatives. No changes have been made in the congressional districts In more than twenty years and the attempt of the lawmakers to make a revision is sure to bring on one of the warm* est battles of the session. Taxation of Mortgages. Members of the Btatd grange, the farmers' clubs, and many legislators stand in favor of repealing the mortgage fax law passed at the last regular session two years ago, as it Is pointed put that the act. has not fulfilled the expectations, of those who framed it and that it is generally unsatisfactory. Use of >uto License Monty. Another Important proposition that the legislature wRi be asked to consider, will be a law authorizing the use of money reecived from the sale of automobile licenses, fp rthe construction of good roads,. Secretary of State Frederick ¢. M&rtlndale used this as. one of the planks la his platform when he was a candidate for the renublloan nomination for governor, and he tayt that he will exert hit Influence to have such a law passed next year. Automobllists are enthusiastic over this proposition aa they feel that inasmuch as, they are taxed for driving their motor cars oycr^the public high* Ways, that this money should "be used in the 'construction of better roadt,Ifiteead of tttrntng the fees received from the sale; of Mcenses, into, the general fund of the state treasury. ,U is expected that there will be at ileaet 60.000 licensed automobiles and motorcycles in Michigan next yaat and as each machine adds f8 to tin reHaiM of the state, such a change la die law.would add mora than 1150.- •000 annually to the good roads fond.

This has been rightly designated the "playground of Europe." I have had such1 a perfect time and dislike to think that but one more week remains to enjoy the scenery. I have actually climbed five giant mountains of the Alps. Aren't you envious? Our party arrived at Lucerne during the late afternoon, and when I viewed those majestic mountains, hedged about with mystery— the glaciers filling the neighboring valleys—the snowpeaks, whose white outline against the sky was cameolike in J u clearness, I longed to reach their summits. Jack and a few others voiced the same desire, and our consuming ambition became to add notches to our alpenstocks. Early next morning we ascended Rlgi to see the sun rise. What an. inspiring sight! Far below flowed the River Reuse, and there was Lu-, cerne surrounded with its wails and nine toll houses, resembling a "fairy city" held in the fastness of the mountains by some powerful enchanter. The pink-gold light of dawn heralding the approach of day touched ; each tip of the towers, then spread • over the flowery fields of the valley. | This seemed strange when we were ] surrounded by snow fields. ! The following week we went to Lake Brleng and crossed to inter- { laken. Here the incomparable Jung- I frau loomed invitingly in the distance. i The mountain would not come to us, ' so, like Mohammed, we went to the mountain. At Lauterbrunnen village i ire took the cable oars, which lifted us 2,200 feet to the famous little alpine village, ef Murren. Here we had a wonderful view of j Jnngfrau. This maiden of the Alps j appeals strangely to one. She is' surpassed in beauty by Monte Rosa and In grandeur by the Matterhorn. To me ahe is the loveliest of mountains. | We reached the summit at sunset i I never imagined such wonderful coloring possible! The evening clouds and shadows gathered, and finally night enshrauded the peaks with its dark, silent pall. We descended halfway down the mountain and spent the night at a picturesque Swiss Inn, { where we sat around the huge flre» place relating strange experiences. The following day we Journeyed to Byaon's Lake Geneva, with Its romantic castle of Chillon, spending two weeks there. Then we came to Zeri matt I am a real mountaineer now. j You should see me attired in a rough suit,, with spiked shoes, green hat adorned with a sprig of edelweiss and my "ruck-sack" strapped to my back. I somewhat resemble Pilgrim on his rough and weary way. First we ascended Monte Rosa, and two days later braved the Matterhora. I did not enjoy climbing this mountain, sad you will hardly blame me when you have heard all. Six of us started out, tied to the same guide. After climbing for hours and hours I became frightfully fatigued and while scaling a rugged crag I slipped and turned my ankle again. To proceed was impossible. The guide told us of several huts built to shelter stormbound climbers, Instructing us to remain there until he returned, and not to attempt a . descent Jack assisted me—in fact, • I was almost helpless—to the hut, a »suarter of a mils from the path. He ; built a fire and bandaged my ankle, giving me instant relief, and I fell asleep. I awoke several hours later, to And a tempting spread, the contents of our ruck-saokv We were ravenously hungry and ate everything In sight At three o'clock a terrific snowstorm, in all its fiendish fury, burst upon the mountain. I tried my best not to appear frightened, but as the hours wots oh and Inky darkness enveloped us, I wondered if the guide had forgotten to come. All night long we strained our ears for any sound which might foretell the a*pproach of the party. Morning found" the storm still raging. Jack showed signs of worry. Our food was entirely gone. At two o'clock the sky cleared and we started to descend. We badnt gone'far whan wa were met by a searching party. Two of tbsw escorted us to Zeros*. It was a wonderfnl experlanoe, but I naven*t the s W t e s t desire to re- Jack lost brought the (ireadletoewa that tour of the orlft»*l party were lost in the atom.

It is virtually certain that the Republicans will have something to say to the Progressives about this committee membership matter, but as there is a stronger partisanship feeling between the Republicans and the Progressives than there is between either of them and the Democrats, the chances are that the Progressives will refuse to accept any favors at the hands of the Republicans.

Washington already is . making preparations for its "greatest show on earth" Every fourth year the capital for tv.o, months and a half is la the proverbial, and perhaps bromidic, "rush of preparation." It is the intention of the Pernocrats to make Woodrow Wilson's inauguration a record-breaking event and neither money nor pains will be spared to accomplish the end in view. Prior to every presidential inaugural ceremony two committees are appointed "to put the thing through." There is the- congreastoual xommitte* which tills year already has been authorized and the local Washington committee, much larger in member ship than the other and which really does a greater amount of work. Congress ha* provided for the appointment of three members of the senate and three members of the house ot representatives tc make the necessary arrangements from the law makers' point of view for the inducting into office of the ttemocratic presidentelect. Alt Kinds of Clubs Expected. Already^it is known in Washington that it is the Intention of the local committee acting through leading Democrats in all parts of the country to have every state in the Union represented by political organizations, by marching clubs of ariy proper kind which can make a good parade showing, and by any business bodies which can be represented properly without giving the Impression that their endeavors are partisan.

JSsfi*jri&0^*RO*B)-'' tn>tho list. Perhap* he tMaks B y / Q l o m i CLINTON. Washington.—Secretary of the Na*y Mey*r has asked for three new battleships. Last year congress authorised only one battleship, and did not authorise that one until there had been * pretty warm controversy on.the subject in the house of representatives. It is said that the Republican secretary of the navy haa been prompted torask for three battleship* by the fact that the Democratic platform adopted at Baltimore pledged the<4 »*rty to care for the needs of the navy. Last year, when the naval bill was before the house committee, it became known that the members of the majority party were divided as to the advisability of adding battleships to the navy. Most of the committee members were in favor of the increase, but the opposition was strong on the floor of the house, and particularly strong because some of the recognized party leaders were very much opposed to an enlarged building program. A compromise was effected and one battleship and several smaller ships were authorized for construction. ' Trying Roosevelt's Method? Tt is believed by many members of congress that Secretary Meyer has in mind Just what Theodore Roosevelt had In mind some years ago. Mr. Roosevelt wanted two additional battleships built for the navy, but he knew that congress was opposed to any great increase in the naval strength at that time. So it was that Mr. Roosevelt, wanting two ships, asked for four, and the two were forthcoming ia the nature ot a compromise, a compromise which probably made the president chuckle, because he. got just what he wanted and just what he was afraid he would not get It is suggested that Mr. Meyer hopes, through the compromise plan, to get two ships, whereas if he only asked for two he might have to be content with one. Th« United State* navy Is today third in strength among the naval powers of the world. Great Britain and Germany lead this country, and Prance follows it as the possessor of fourth place, although the French navy is nearly as strong, on paper at any rate, as the navy of Uncle Sam. The navy department wftats more sailor*, and it has asked congress, through Senator Perkins of California, who has introduced a bill to that effect, to increase the enlisted strength Of the navy by one thousand, bringing the total strength up to 63,600 sailors. An increase is asked for the marine corps ot 20 per cent, and If it is granted there will within the next year be ten thousand five hundred marines ia the service of the country. May Revive Tariff Board. The tariff board, which went out of existence because of a refusal on the part of congress to renew an appropriation for its support, may possibly come back Into being again after the tariff has been revised by the next congress. There is a strong organisation, known as the National Tariff Commission association, which is working hard to arouse public Bentlraent in favor of a permanent commission, which shall study business conditions at home and abroad and make specific reports on the schedules to congress, with the view of having them adjusted, so that from time to time the tarlffon certain articles may be changed without disturbing the whole tariff list. Already congress is being memorialized by associations and by individuals to give force and effect to a real national tariff commission. It has just been announced that there will be a convention of the advocates of the tariff commission, to be held in Washington, probably simultaneously with the opening of the extra session of the new congress. Only One Minority party? There have been happenings fithin A few day* in congress which point to the injection^ of trouble for the Republicans and Progressives in the n<xt house. It is now currently reported and believed, from what the Democratic leaders have said privately, that it is the intention of their party In the house and senate, when congress meets in extra session, W recognise only one minority party, namely, the Republican. Oh (he face of it, it would not seem that this would create, any particular amount, of trouble, hot when the matter of the committee* is taken. Into consideration and the present method of appointing members to them is thought on, trouble loonis largo.

In his reply Madero admitted his Inability to cope with the situation, practicaly refused the consideration of Indemnity for Americans whose property had been destroyed, and Intimated that the Americans who have died there deserved their fate. The reprisals threatened against Mexico in Taft'3 ultimatum .would permit revolutionists against Madero to use this country as the base of their operations, it was poipted OMt< It would inevitably mean the fall of the present Mexican government. However, officials figured out that in such a case the United States probably would be but little bettei* so far as securing protection to American citizezns and their property in Mexico was concerned, than at present since the 'revolutionary movement ih Mexico Is more" 6r TesS disorganlged and includes the very element against whose outrages the United States Is complaining. The Mexican situation was rendered more acute by information to the state department that Americans in Cananea, Sonora, were In grave danger from 1,000 Mexican miners, employed in American mines, who have gone on strike.

"There's your bit of wreckage," 1 ob- { served, smiling. "Poor devil!" he exclaimed, aym-" pathetically. "He seems more dead, than aljve. "He's breathing, sir," announced Brandon, the lirst officer, "and ndt much more. We'll take him below, and see what can be done for him, sir." He appeared to be about forty years of age, a somewhat shrunken, weather- beaten creature, with face deeply lined and half hidden behind possibly a week's growth of dark beard. It Is not easy to read a man with his eyes closed, but I was far from prepossessed by what of this fellow's features waa on view. Ordinarily I should have given him scant heed, but today was no ordinary day. and my suspicions were superactiye. Even the most trivial occurrences took on significance. And this was not a trivial occurrence. Certainly it was not usual. Fishermen blown to sea In storms and overcome by exposure, hunger and thirst were common enough, perhaps, but within the past week there had been no storm; the weather had been aa mild as that of June, with an August day or two thrown in. How was It possible, then, for this bit of flotsam to have come where it was and in the condition it was? To Cameron I gave no hint of my reasoning, but to Captain MacLeod I put the question without hesitation. "It does seem a bit odd, Mr. Clyde," he returned, judicially, "but you see his mast and sail had gone by the board and his oars, too. It looks to me, sir, as if he'd been run down, maybe, and nigh swamped. Of course we can't tell till he gets his senses and lets us know." Though this put the matter in a new light, it did not by any means relieve my anxiety; and I aBked Mac- Leod to have a sharp watch kept on the fellow, adding that I would come to him later for anything he might team. I took care, too, to caution him to make no mention of the affair in the presence of-Carperon. It was not until after dinner that evening that I found opportunity again to question the captain. I came upon him in his stateroom, a comfortably commodious cabin, far forward on the upper deck. On his table was spread a chart, over which he was bending when I entered. A briarwood was gripped firmly between his teeth and the grateful odor of clean pipe smoke greeted me as I entered. "He's come around, Mr. Clyde," be informed me, turning about; in his swivel chair, "and I'm just trying to check up some of his statements by means of this . chart here, and. our weather record." "And how do they check so far?" I asked, a little dubiously. "Quite to a dot, sir," was his answer. "There's no breakdown anywhere, so far. According to his story, he sailed out of Oloucester harbor on Monday morning. His name's Peter Johnson, and he lives in East Gloucester. He says the wind was strong from the westward, and he made the banks all right without rolahap. But about noon, the wind died, and a thick fog came in from the northeast, chill and sopping, sir. . He kept moving about, and finally in the thick of it lost his bearings. It had clouded over and after a little it began to rain. He made a try for Gloucester harbor, but must have sailed southeast Instead of northwest. Then tht night came down, and the fog was like a dosen blankets, ha says. His food was gone and most of his water, but he said he'd seen worse than that many a time, and judt prayed for the fog to lift and give him a sight of the stats. And the next thing that happened was what I suspected, sir. He heard "a steamer's whistle. He had bis sheet out and was running before the wind, arid that steamer coming upon him out of the fog, caught his boom; ripped out his mist and nearly capslsed his dory. When she rltfnted, the steam* el's lights were fadthg into the' fog agaia^his boat wis half full of water I and his oars were washed away. Well, sfcv to make • long: story short, he mast haee caught s* current that carried him well out beyond Cape Cod, and then slewed him around the eouthermoet ead of 'Nantucket island.-| r questioned him about lights and fog fork hair mat- jetgnals, and making due allowance for his condltioa, his yam works out pie* if /jtnlgfct He'd been drifting about for- three1 days When we picked him up- and ^was half dead of thirst mid out what appeared to me to be a sea* going tug or pilot boat, steaming, I thought, with rather unusual speed for a vessel of her class, It was not much of a •discovery, but the wateni had been, very barren that morning, especially for the last two hours, and insignificant as this object was I felt in a manner rewarded for my vigil. Half an hour later she had slipped out of sight and I was busy in an effort to pick her up again, when a cry from the lookout forward directed my attention to a floating speck possibly two miles or more dead ahead, and not more than a point off our, course. "Come," I said to Cameron, "let's go up on the bridge apd have a look!" "And have our trouble for ouV pains?" he returned, incredulously. "It's probably some bit of wreckage, a box or a cask." "Very well," I agreed, starting off alone. "Even a box or a cask is worth \ while as a variation/' When on nearer approach the drifting object proved to be a fisherman's dory, with a man, either dead or unconscious, plainly discernible In the bottom, I should hardly have been human had I not experienced a degree of, satisfaction over Cameron's failure as a prophet. That, however, was the least abiding of my sensations. In an instant it had given way to anxiety concerning the boat's occupant and Interest in the business-like manner in which MacLeod, the stocky young executive officer of the Sibylla, was preparing to pick up our And.4 The engine room had been signaled half-speed aheed, and already a aailor with a coll of rope In hand was stationed at the forward gangway.

I thought of having a look at Peter Johnson, myself, for I was somewhat curious to study that face again when it was sentient, and nad eyes open, but on second thought I decided to wait until morning. It seemed silly to suspect thir seemingly honest but Unfortunate fisherman.- We had not been speeding so well during the afternoon; there was some trouble reported from the engine room, and It was a question whether we had made over fifteen knots an hour since two o'clock. I know that at ten o'clock that night, when the moon went down, we were somewhere oastrof Nantucket, and directly in the path of the transatlantic liners. The night was balmy as a night in springtime, and Cameron and I in light overcoats sat on the after-deck, watching the moon slide slowly below the dark horizon line. Our chairs, were close together, facing the lee rail; his the farther astern. We talked ofmany things, I remember. He was always interested in my work, and especially in my ambitions to make The Week a power for national good; and, I remember that we discussed several projects I then had in mind for bringing about reform in high places. But the subject which then interested me most, and regarding which I still experienced a vague, unreasoning uneasiness, he had avoided throughout the day and evening, with what seemed to me studied Intent. The sudden cessation of hostilities on the part of those whom he had been given every reason to look upon as his implacable enemies, was certainly strange enough to have Invited endless debate; and I marveled that, after having accepted my falsehood as truth, he had not chosen to go over with me the whole marvelously perplexing business. His mind, I knew, was relieved by what I had made him believe, or he would not now be the man he was; but despite that, it appeared to mo. it would be most natural for him, on this day of all days—the twenty-first of the month—to question, at least, my previously emphatically stated conclusions* There had been a moment of silence between us, and these reflections were dominant with me, as six bells, ringing out musically, announced that midnight was but an hour distant. At that instant, while in time to the bell's strokes, there echoed in my brain the1'words'? "Know then, that before the morning of the efghth day hence—" Cameron, lowering his cigar, turned to me witbi "Clyde, I wonder If you have forgotten what day this is!" I doh't know why, coming at Just that particular Juncture, the question should*he more upsetting than If it had come at some other time of day, but I know it seemed so to me. For a little space my tongue refused its office. There was a lump in ray throat which demanded to be swallowed, and 1 made a pretence of coughing to hide my plight. At length I answered, a bit lamely: "No, I haven't forgotten. It's Wednesday, the twenty-first of October." He returned his cigar to his lips and smoked in silence for a full minute. Then, he said, quietly: "It's seven days aince that empty envelope came." /'Yes," I returned. There was another slight pause and he went on: "I have been thinking that possibly you were wrong about the significance of that empty envelope. Possibly those enigmatical peraons Intended that absence of a definite threat to imply the inconceivably terrible." Now that he had started to talk about it, I wished that be had continued his silence. 1 could not understand how I had convinced him be^ fore, knowing all the while that I was without truth to support me. Certainly, now, pervaded as I was with that grim disquietude, it would be even more difficult to carry conviction with my words. "Whatever they intended," I ventured, yielding a fraction of a point, "it seems to me that they'll have some difficulty in carrying it out. There are no portraits hero to mutilate and no mirrors to smash. For the previ- I WM quite sure, of counev bujr i ^akwrfeo smoke*!, 0|.duletly; fo* a while in'a ruminative mood,- Eventually he threw the end of his cigar over the rail, and leaned forward. 'TtfdfVt know,'" h*' said perplexedly. "I don't know." This I hoped was to be the end of the matter, for tonight at least; but presently he began to talk of those first two letters, to conjecture, to wonder, to dissect phrases, to dig out subtleties of meaning from euphemistic expressions. And then I knew that, he had every word memorized, JuBt as I had. Seven bells had struck and we were still talking. But now and then there were pauses in our converse—Intervals of silence of varying length—during which I sat with my gaze stretching out over the black waters and my hearing strained for any unusual sound. . More than once during the evening I thought I had detected far off the pounding note of a motor boat's exhaust, but had put ths notion aside as too Jmprobab.V (QT entertainment. Now, faintly, I s*emed to hear it again; not so distant, but muffled. I got up and stood close to the rail, and listened with ear Ijent. Then I determined to go. to m> cabin for a. night glass which. I had included among my traps. But at that moment the sound, which I had made sure of, ceased, and I stood a second or two longer, expecting it to resume. Altogether it was not over a minute or two that 1 stood there. It seemed much less than that. Then I turned with a question for Cameron. I wondered whether he had heard the sound too. "I say, Cam—" I began, and stopped, startled, with his name half uttered. His chair was empty. He was not on deck. I ran to the saloon. He was not there. I flung open the door of his stateroom. He was not there, either. I had the yacht searched for him. ' He was not on the yacht. CHAPTER IX. A Craft Without Lights. Composure is second nature with me. I claim no credit for it; it is a matter of temperament rather than \ cultivation. But now my temperament was all awry, and my composure fled me. I waB excited. More than that, I waa frantic, distracted, rattled. I wanted to do a dosen things at once; to get answers to a score of questions in a single moment. And the consequence may be Imagined. For five—ten minutes, nothing waa done whatever. Then the search-light was got into play, sweeping the waters on all sides, far and near; but with paltry result. Five or six miles astern we made out a power boat, similar to* that which I had seen through the glass earlier in the day. To the eastward a steamer with two funnels was just coming into range. The white sails of a coasting schooner showed to westward. Trailing in our wake was our squalid salvage, the dory of {the fisherman^ MacLeod, trained to coolness, ret. talned his wits. Systematically he set to work. Likely and unlikely places aboard the yacht were looked into. Before I knew what he waa about, we were going back over the way we had come with the searchlight swinging in a circle and a halfdozen sharp-eyed seamen scanning every square foot of rolling wave. "I can't understand it," I kept repeating aloud, with senseless iteration. "I can't understand it." I was standing alone, well forward, leaning over the rail. Presently Mac- Leod laid a hand on my shoulder. "We can't do anything more than we are doing, Mr, Clyde," he said in his matter-of-fact way. "For my part, I can't understand it, either; but since Mr. Cameron's not aboard, there's only one conclusion, and that is that he's overboard. And aince there was no one interested in throwing him there, then it seems very clear that he must have jumped." —^Jumped!" I cried, in • Irritation. "My God, man! Don't I tell you that I was not three feet away from him, and only for a minute qr two? How ceuld he have Jumped without my bearing him? How could he even have got out of his chair, without my hearing him?" The captain shrugged his shoulders. (TO BE CONTINUED.) z HAD AO. TflE htvujfdirES, '•'. • , v ; •; - '«• < • j , . ' • !

It cost a total of 2,164 lives in the first ten months of 1912. Tuberculosis was a close second with 1,870 and cancer was next with 1,796. Measels were the mildest disease with bat 79 fatalities. There were 458 deaths from typhoid fever, Which is the lowest in twelve years. E p - idemics at Marquette ancT Port Huron helped to make the number larger or a record would have been made that would stand for years. •enabling1 a small housefly, in June. These flies lay th*ir eggs on the upper wheat leaves. The eggs hatch, into the little greenish-white worms with the small black feeding hooka at one end. These* worms crawl down the wheat Jeaf and feed on the stalk, causing the part of the stalk above where they are feeding to turn white. This brood ot worms stays in the straw till July or August, when it changes into another brood of flies. The flieB, by laying eggs on volunteer wheat and on grasses, produce another brood of flies by September or October. It was this third brood that laid the eggs Which hatched into the little green worms we speak ot This brood 'of worms does damage by working its way down into the crown of the wheat plant, often cutting off the central stem and in this way causing considerable damage. If it were not for the numerous parasitic enemies of thls^ wheat pes4 J.t might become more dangerous O n the Hessian fly, which it resembies very mucj in its general habits. In one respect it is even worse than the Hessian fly, in that it can f«cJ on many other grasses beside wheat There are few practical measures of controlling the pest Rotation of crops and late planting of winter wheat are not as effective as with Hessian fly. Wheat Bulb Worm or 8tem Maggot* The most practical thing which man can do to control wheat bulb worms is to burn, the straw and stubble after harvest, destroying the worms of the second brood before they come out of the straw to change into the fly form. The Nebraska station suggests that wheat planted in October Is less liable to trouble, although not entirely free. COUNTRY ROADS OF CONCRETE One That Cannot Become Muddy and at All Times Provide Secure Safe Footing Is Desired. It is becoming, more and more evidant to farmers and those interested fin good country roads that a more lasting material than earth or the ordinary macadam must be used. Near Coshocton, 0., two concrete roads have been built which have successfully withstood one severe winter and show no wear either from* traJflo or weather. The first view shows a 10-foot con* Crete strip laid on the old roadbed. The second shows an IMoot strip of the full width of the road. The latter Joins the macadam read which Is deeply worn and rutted. Concrete in the first case replaced a block stone read, which had given away under heavy floods and travel, and the other, a limestone macadam road, whose life was only one year, due to heavy traffic At present the 18-foot strip road carries all travel from the concrete road and also from another brick road and shows much less wear than the brick. • country road which cannot become muddy, which will give at all times a secure footing for horses and which will need little or no repairs, would be the greatest Improvement In farm conditions that has been made In recent years. Concrete seems to be the only material combining these qualities with low cost • decade from now, our country roads of concrete may equal our city pavements In efficiency under all conditions of weather.

"It sure 1st" agreed Miss ClaW* She shrugged her shoulders as she . glanced back at the lace curtains of [ the boarding house window. Inside I the parlor the gas glared hotly, lighting up the hair wreath above the mantel aad glittering on the gaudy vases beneath. "Now, that It's got warm enough to ait, outdoors," pursued young Borgui, stretching his long legs over three steps below him, "we can shake the parlor in there! .Gee, but it was fierce last winter, never to get a word with you without a lot of old women butting in with, 'Excuse me, but I am looking for my crochet work! Lovely evening, isn't it, Mr. Borgusf or glaring at us for being there at all! Or having callers of their own! Nice, chatty conversations we could carry on that way, couldn't we? I—" "Oh," said a voice behind them as the screen door creaked, "is some one out here? Oh, it'a you, Miss Clancy— and Mr. Borgus, of course! Ahem— not that I meant anything, at all! I suppose I've interrupted your conversation, but it was so hot la there—I can go right in—" . "Don't think, of it, Mrs. Miner," said MIs« Clancy, airily, rising. "Yon can ha: uie steps and welcome. We are just going for a walk anyhow. Gome on, Jimmy!" "Wouldn't that frost you! ** exclaimed young Borgus after they had proceeded a safe distance. "Just wanted to find out what we were talking about! Catch her sitting out there by herself! We'll circle the block and see!" When they got near enough again to see the steps young Borgus gave a low gurgle of triumph. The steps i were empty. "Come on," he said. "Let's go get some ice cream. Just as sure as we go back there somebody else'll come out!" r In a sympathetic sort of disgust they sought the brillmntlz lighted candy store on the corner\and found e vacant table. "Strawb'ree for me," said Miss Clancy. "I just wonder, Jimmy, that you haven't got tired before this and quit me. It's fierce, going to see a girl that hasn't a parlor of her own to entertain company in! We've sure been chased around enough by them other boarders!" "Well, were's away from 'em right now," said young Borgus. "Let's make the most of it I—" "Why, the idea!" broke in a highpitched voice at the next table. "If it isn't Miss Clancy! Oh—how do you do, Mr. Borgus!" There was an arch inflection to-the greeting—that was Intended to carry the idea that the speaker appreciated the sentimental situation. "How-do, Miss Binks?" said Miss Clancy stonily. Miss Binks was forty, dressed like twenty and fondly thought .she looked like sixteen. She made eyes at young Borgus, who turned purple. Then, she arose with her plate of ice cream and fluttered into the vacant chair at their table. 'It's so lonesome by myself," she purred apologetically. "I was so thirsty I just had to come out after something cold, but I shrink from going out la the evening unescorted..It's more sociable tills way, dont you think?" "Oh, my, yeB!" agreed Miss Clancy with sarcasm that was totally lost. "Sorry, we're just through. We've got an engagement to meet some friends!** "Let me slip back and stick some cold poison in her Ice cream," growled young Borgus throatlly after they had escaped. "She's the limit! Another second and she'd have asked to go walking with us! Let's go down to the little park. If s only a few blocks awayi* He tucked Miss Clancy's hand In the crook of his arm and they walked on with regained cheerfulness. It Was not so bad to be out In the dusk with the faint echoes of a street piano: in the air and automobiles whirring; by. Presently their feet crunched the gravel of the walk that ran around the littie park and they stroHed>on till they found a bench that was unoccupied.

Even Where Nature Has Denied «3eauty Much May Be Accomplished by the Persistent Use of the Proper Lotions. FOR SUM FIGURES A pretty hand, well kept, with nails rilliantly polished and trimmed, is a ter ornurneut to a woman than most priceless jewel. Even a comnplace hand can be made attractive ing by careful treatment. There- ^ibre>4,he girl to whom Nature has dekiied taper fingers and an altogether •model hand can take heart of grace, 4auttd so improve on the commonplace Chat her hands and nails may excite admiration and envy. I ff the akin of the hands is rough, it c a n soon be softened by the applicat i o n of well-chosen creams or lotions and, the use of soft water _for_ablu-. jttonal purposes, care being taken to tslry the hands thoroughly every time a l t e r washing. Neglecting to do this i s the cause of many a rough-looking stand, and encourages chilblains. The first thing to do in treating the hands l a to get the skin soft and the fingers pliable. Hands that are inclined to be red And rough are often benefited by bei n g washed in oatmeal water. Take a o m e good oatmeal and boil it in waiter for an hour, strain it, and use the liquid to waBh with night and mornfeng. This wash must bo made fresh •«prery day, If toilet borax Is added to rae oatmeal, the whitening effect of <ho lotion will be enhanced. To keep >tbe hands white, some women sleep I n gloveB smeared inside with melted tallow. Five or ten minutes given to the fcoilet of the nails every day and an o x t r a 20 minutes every week will keep t h e m In good order. To keep the finger nails clean the nail-brush and soap and warm water ahould be used dally, and every time fits hands are washed the free edge of 'the scarf-skin, which, If not attended • o , 1« apt t o grow upward over the Saaile, should be gently loosened and pressed back In a "neatly rounded form, by which the occurrence of « r a e k i , hang-nails, etc., about the r o o t s _of_ t h e - n a i l s w i l l be prevented, a n d a graceful oval form and the disp l a y of a crescent-like space of white will be ensured. This scarf-skin as m, rule should never be cut, and should o n no account be torn or picked off, « a Is commonly done. The less It is meddled with, other than in the way recommended, the better. Very often finger nails are disfigured f*y dark coffee-colored rims that He tietween the nail and the flesh surrounding it. This rim should be rem o v e d at once with a strong cleansing 'fluid, for it mars tho beauty of the nana. GREAT AUK'S EGG? Maybe, but Nevertheless, It Arrived at the Breakfast Table in a Scramble. Aceordlon-Plalted Negligee. Among the costume conceits of the •season are to be noted the accordionplaited negligee, which are made of cbiffon net, both plain and embroidered, and liberty silk and satin. These garments are designed in a g r e a t variety of styles, but there is n o n e more fetching for the woman of slender figure and some height than t h e Empire gown of plaited chiffon w i t h an elaborate coat of lace and TWO OF THE LATE DESIGNS Smartneao of the Belted Tailor-Made. For the slim-figured and fairly tall woman the belted coat is certainly one of the smartest and most becoming aspects of the tailor-made costume. So if you can be numbered among these fortunate folks you can quite safely have your new costume made in the style you so much admire, the sketch here providing all the necessary guidance as to detail. A slight opening of the skirt, too, at the loft side, Is not only permissible, but also piquant, always presuming that your footwear be of immaculate shaping and smartness. chiffon and satin to go over it. The coat for a pale pink gown of this sort is more than half of yellow lace. It is a very much cutaway garment, with a frou frou of lace cascades in front and a long tailed back that Is all lace and shirring and frills also. The sleeves are draped lace flounces and there is a wide girdle of pink satin ribbon, which has a huge satin buckle in tho back. J By MARGARET MANNING. Professor Ferdinand Brinckhofen wandered into the kitchen of his summer bungalow, on the Maine shore. His wife was washing the dinner dishes. "Ellen, my dear," he said, "Doctor Cavendish, of the Natural History museum, will be here this afternoon. Can you get up a meal for him? He has to start back tomorrow morning." "I suppose so, Ferdinand," answered his wife, a little tartly. "You know, of course, that we haven't much in tho house to offer a guest. However, I'll do my best, and if he will be satisfied with it he's welcome. Why is he coming all this distance just to spend the night with us?" Professor Urinckhofen put his arm round his wife's waist and kissed her. "I know Vou're busy, Ellen," he said. "Next summer we'll get a maid." And he wandered out, while his wife went on washing. She dried the last plate and set it aside. "I wonder just why Doctor Cavendish is coming here for one night," she said to herself. Professor Urinckhofen engaged a rowboat and pulled round to the railroad terminal, where he arrived just In time to greet Doctor Cavendish as his visitor stepped out of his car. "Well, what did yuu think-of my letter?" he asked, after the customary greetings had been interchanged. Doctor Cavendish took his friend by the arm. "My dear old enthusiast," ho answered, "to be frank with you, the subject until the men oamo in. Then she welcomed Doctor Caveu&sh with smiles. "Gome, Cavendishr;J wapt to .ahpw you my laboratory,'"euld Briiickfcdjfcn, dragging his friend away as soon as he decently could. They wont into tho professor's little bare room and began discussing the great discovery. "Of course it goes to the museum, Brinckhofen," said Cavendish. "It will be worth a thousand dollars to you." "A thousand dollars!" exclaimed the professor, "You are joking, Cavendish. Why, the egg alouo would bring that at auction." "Yes, yes, I'm speaking about the egg," said Doctor Cavendish irritably. "What are you Bpeaking about?" "Why, the auk, of coarse. Don't you know that I put it there so that it would hatch? Why, we'll have a real live bird, Cavendish. I shall sell it to the Zoological Bociety, and I'll patch up the egg after it has hatched out, and I'll let you have that for a thousand. And the bird will lay more eggs, and I'll get a thousand apiece for those too, and—" "I say," interposed Cavendish, "remember it isn't hatched yet. If I were you I 'would tell Mrs. Brlnckhol'en about it." "Tell Mrs. Brinckhofen! Why, she'd tell the neighbors and they'd steal it or do something to it! Never trust a woman. No, it is safest just where it is." They argued with some lack of equanimity until dinner time, when Mrs. Brinckhofen ejected them into the dining room. "Hum! I'm hungry as a bear," said Doctor Cavendish, pulling his* napkin across knees. "What have we here? Scrambled eggs? Fine!" "I don't know whether you like scrambled goose eggs," Baid Mrs. Brinckhofen. "They say they're very nice. I found one under our biddy—It must have been laid by one of Mr. Giles's geese, for it wasn't there last time I looked. So I thought that aa we hadn't many eggs I'd try what it tasted like." "Woman!" gasped the professor, springing to his feet, "do you mean to say you—you scrambled that egg?" "Yes, % dear," said Mrs. Brinckhofen sweetly. (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.) HOT BREAKFAST MEANS MUCH Success or Failure of the Day Depends to a Large Extent on First Meal. Ostrich Plumes. Ostrich plumes, like lace, are never allowed to remain in the background for any length of time, and an early return to favor is predicted for them as the season advances. The smaller hat shapes of satin and plush are so chic in form and fabric that they really require but little trimming of any kind. The "Berets" of velvet are very becoming, and real Tam-o'-Shanter shapes In the same fabric denote a tendency to return to the styles ol • 1885. The corsage opens over a plastron like the tablier and the collar and girdle are of garnet velvet, The sleeves j are draped at the bottom over cuffs i of the white satin and are ornamented with motifs of passementerie, which i also ornament the corsage and skirt. | The next model is also of taupe velvet. The skirt Is slightly gathered at the top and cut out at one side of the front over a panel of taffeta to j match. The edges of the velvet are caught together with knots of the taffeta passed through large rings of silk; , the ends of the knots are finished with aiguillettes. T h e upper part of the corsage and the sleeves are of the taffeta ornamented with buttons and buttonholes; the lower part, or corslet, is of the velvet trimmer like the skirt. The collar is of green velvet, the chemisette ia of white tulle. 4 K » njixM afrthe lefi U of taupe vel- *ftfc »Tb*4*irt U slightly gathered « q p f c l t M a d draped In the back; the t v t t t e r % of WjMt* aeeordkm plaited anffa ornamented WKh told buttons *M*^ tatfcpfcols* a** ftnlahed with a aaaiaaa of f a a a % l ^ a w t i n e « • «>l*> ^paaaaa^araa* ggEi mipifTi I t " . . v ~ - Old Raincoats.

If the stiffness is out of your veil and it is still good, wrap it around a pasteboard roll, stretching full width* | and steam. Let It dry on the roll and It will be as good as new. ./' «j<^r«**» "Good Heaven, Brinckhofen, It lal It Is!" I am sceptical—wholly sceptical. It sounds too gooe-to be true. If you had told me that you had discovered a buried Indian village or a dozen asterfllds I would have accepted your word without question. But a great auk's egg—no, ray friend. You have probably mistaken the egg of a crested grebe or tufted puffin for that of the auk." "But the great auk did range as far south as Maine in the last century!" cried the professor. "And the last specimen was shot in 1844." "No, Cavendish, in 1912. I tell you it was an auk. I shot the brooding bird, but it fell into the water and drifted out to sea before I could get a boat. But tho egg—it was an auk's egg, and it was warm. I took it home and I'm Incubating i t " "What does Mrs. Brinckhofen think of it?" "She doesn't know anything about it, of course. I don't believo in telling my wife a professional secret. And the joke of it Is"—he nudged Cavendish in the ribs—"It's incubating with a clutch of eggs that she set out last week under one of our hens. It couldn't be safer anywhere." "Show me!" said Cavendish sceptically, and they entered the rowboat and, a few minutes later, rounded tho point of land behind which the Brlnckhofens had their bungalow. "There was where I shot her," said the professor, pointing to tho high, towering cliff. "I didn't mean to, either, but I was so excited that I couldn't bear to think of her getting away. Now, before we do anything else we'll go straight to the clutch." They climbed the hill and entered the little garden of the bungalow. In one corner was the hen house, and, in the center, seated upon a clutch of eggs surrounded with straw, was a gray hen, which looked at them with malignant eyes and half opened her beak as though to protect her treasure. "Shoot" said Profesor Brinckhofen, and the hen slowly rose and retired a few paces, where It crouched with flapping wings and an irate expression. Professor Brinckhofen plunged his hand into the clutch and drew out the precious egg. It was a little larger than that of a goose. "Good heavens, Brinckhofen, it lit It is!" yelled Doctor Cavendish, and, carefully replacing It, he seised his friend round the w a i s t and the two graybeards executed a dance. Mrs. Brinckhofen watched them out of the kitchen window. "I suppose that is Doctor Cavendish," she said pityingly. "I wonder why they a n dancing In the henhouse.'* She t a t down and meditated upon When a singularly successful business man was asked the secret of getting on in the world, he modestly said his wife deserved most of the credit, as she always had a good breakfast ready for him every day In the year, served punctually and piping hot. He further said that poor food, especially ii\ the morning, was responsible for njauy business failures, for the man who sets out on a cold morning with jcoiil, indifferent food in his stomach is ill-prepared for the business battle. •,t takes time and planning, but it pays «» serve good breakfasts. It means .getting up early enough to Insure against rushing about and fretting when things go wrong, but the wise woman counts It no sacrifice to send her husband off cheery and well fed. There are plenty of ways in which a woman without help may manage, and even if she keeps a maid she will find plenty to oversee and correct day after day. The women who riBe early to get breakfast for their husbands unite in saying there are possibilities in the early morning hours realized later in the day. When other women are sleepily getting up, the thrifty housekeepers have their morning work done and aro ready to get the children off to school. There would be fewer failures In school work if all children were sent to the school room well fed in the morning. If they were aroused in time to dress leisurely and eat a hearty breakfast there would be fewer cases of nervous prostration among teachers. A cup of hot cocoa, a poached egg, good toast and well-cooked cerceal served to the entire family in the morning and eaten in a leisurely manner would rob hospitals of many patients and give doctors and surgeons extra vacations every year. Theories About Rainfall. While we in this country have been suffering for some years from a lack of rain, Bome parts of Europe appear, according to statistics, to be getting more rain every year. Observations at the Observatory of Paris show that from 1804 to 1824 the average yearly rainfall was 502 millimeters (an inch is about 25 millimeters). In the next twenty years the average was 507; then from 1845 to 1872 there was an increase to £25; in the next twenty years it was 553, and in the last nineteen years the average has grown to 584 millimeters—about 23½ inches. The commonest theory to account for this is that the smoke and dust rising from a large city favor the condensation of moisture. But this theory runs counter to the experience of London, the smokiest city of Europe, where no such increased rainfall is recorded. And in some of the mountainous regions of France the increase has been as much as 73 per c e n t , as compared with thirty years ago. DISSOLVE BUTTER TRUST Sleeping Changes o l Conspiracy to. Fix Prices Is Cfcarftsd. The Elgin board of trade, popularly known as the "Butter Trust," and the American Association of Creamery Butter Manufacturers was attacked by the federal government In a civil anti-trust suit filed in Chicago, for the dissolution of both concerns. Sweeping charges of a conspiracy to fix arbitrarily the price of butter in the interest of big manufacturers and cold storage concerns and to the detriment of the farmer, other small producers and the consuming public, are made by Attorney General Wickersham. Butter-making has drifted to the large manufacturers, the natural Increase in volume of business has been curtailed and prices to the people have been enhanced, especially during the winter season, by the operations of the "conspirators," according to the government's petition in equity.

"You have done me a great service, my lad," said the genial chief, "and in future your wages will be increased by two shillings weekly." "Thank you, sir," said the bright little fellow. "I will do my best to be a good servant to you." "That's the right spirit, my lad." he remarked, encouragingly. "In all the years that I have been in business no one has ever thanked me in that way. I will make the increase three shillings. Now, what do you say to that?" "Well, sir," replied yhe lad, smilingly, "would you mind if I said it again?** Commercial Workers Organized.

Being" a woman, I hated the idea of that. I was told by a friend that the Cutlcura Remedies would do me good. This spring I purchased two boxes of Cutlcura Ointment and one cake of Cutlcura Soap. After using one box of Cuticura Ointment I considered the cure permanent, hut continued" to use" it to make sure and used about onehalf the other box. Now I am entirely well. I ajso used the Cutlcur^ Soap, / ' T h e disease began on the back of my head, taking the form of a ringworm, only more severe, rising to a thick, rough scale that would come off when soaked with oil or warm water, bringing a few hairs each time, but in a few days would form again, larger each time, and spreading until the entire back of the head was covered with the scale. This was accompanied by a terrible itching and burning sensation. Now my head is completely well and my hair growing nicely." (Signed) Mrs. Geo. F. Clark, Mar. 25, 1912.

Whence does it come? It is a c u r i o u s fact that niost of the o 1 d chroniclers have thrown a veil of mystery a r o u n d t h e Christmas tree and make no attempt to explain its origin. It h a s been ^ stated that t h e tree came to us f r o m E g y p t •a This legend is well propagated in old Irish and Welsh fairy tales. The Idea is that in ancient Egypt they used a slip of the palm tree with twelve shoots on it at certain winter festivities. The tree symbollzed the year with its twelve months. Consequently, any one who is equal to the effort may believe that the modern Christmas tree represents that twelve-shooted slip of palm. Minds of less stalwart credulity may prefer to trace t h e Christmas tree back to Germany only, where they had Christmas trees long before they were ever hearri of In this country of England or France, The Christmas tree was not introduced into England from Germany until after the marriage of Queen Victoria to her German consort, Prince Albert. But wiiere did the Germans get the ChriBtmas tree Idea from? S. J. Adair Pitz Gerald, writing in T. P.'s Weekly, offers an explanation of this by saying that far away back in the ages you find Teutons believing in a mystic ash tree, Yggdrasil, which, with its roots and branches, united the world of the living and the world of the dead. "At the foot of Yggdrasil sit the three Norns, who determine the' destinies of men, and Yggdrasjl's branches bear gifts for men to take." Is that our Christmas tree? Anyhow, the id'ja that Prince Albert introduced it into Great Britain is very prevalent. One of the prettiest and most eagerly looked for events of the Christmastide— that of t h e setting up of the Christmas tree—is associated with the late Empress Frederick of Germany. Queen Victoria, after the birth of the princesB royal, had Christmas celebrated at Windsor in 1840, and "on that occasion Prince Albert introduced the pretty German custom of decorating a Christmas tree. Since that period it has become a welcome custom for both rich and poor, and affords a graceful means of distributing little presents. It was probably first imported into Germany with the conquering legions of Drusus, and is alluded to by„ YirgiL i n the "'Georgics.1' It will be seen by this that the generally accepted notion is that Prince Albert was responsible for the British adoption of t h e pleasing tree and all that it means, symbolical and practical, to t h e youngsters. But on the threshold of this acceptation we are met with thiB statement from the "Grevllle Memoirs," under date Dec. 27, 1829, when Queen Victoria was yet but ten years old. *On Christmas day the Princess Lleven got up a little fete, such as is customary all over Germany. Three trees in great pots were put on a long table covered with linen; each tree wa3 illuminated with three circular tiers of colored wax candles —blue, green, red and white. Before each was displayed a quantity of toys, gloves, handkerchiefs, workboxes, books and various articles, presents made to the owner of the tree." This princess was a Russian, and in her later days lived mostly in Paris. Then again Prof. Ditchfleld, in his "Old English Customs," says that the Christmas tree was first imported Into England by some German merchants who lived at Manchester in the first years of the nineteenth century. In 1900 a writer on folklore said: "Although we a r e accustomed to consider Germany the home of the Christmas tree, it has not been general there for more than a couple of centuries. Old people are still living whose parents never saw one in Germany. The decoration of houses . with olive leaves and .green branches, a s in England a t ChristmaB, is a far more ancient custom, and can he noticed In Bottlcelli'B picture of "The Adoration of the Shepherds," in the National Gallery In London. It is, a s Frita Ortwein observes, a distinct remnant of an ancient heathen custom, as a t the turn of the year during t h e twelve days of t h e Jul festival in Wnor of Woden, greenery could be fetched by all from,the woods without punishment, and every haHi was decorated with green leaves and branches. Again, in old works on English customs we find many references to the decorating of the Interior of the dwellings, as well a t the pious : adornment of the churches with greenery, and the Introduction of a fir tree a s symbolical of the palm. In the halls of the barons and the squires and in t h e gigantic kitchens of t h e farmers a fir tree ever held prominent place, but' whether ordinarily decorated or not Is not specifically recorded. Here we are in doubt In all probability the remaining fruits of the orchards of the year were hung upon the branches a s a propitiation to the gods of the fruUs, of the earth to. insure «ood harvests. Going abroad we get fuller knowledge of these Tbs-custom of carrylnjg away branches f*pm .the; woojds, «t.tf«irtatmas time In various parte of Aus^ajhecame so extensive on account o f t l i e wprtWQons of the peasantry that at BalaVun; M 1755* and at Nuremberg, In 17», severe bylaws wore.

A-. • ">,> ^#^i>^4^f^^iy Christian customs adhered to by the Austrian- German peasant can be traced back to heathenish Germanen rites, some dispute the use of a tree at the Jul festivities; nevertheless, it is certain that in Sweden needle pines and firs were Bet up a t this time before the houses." Teutzel of Saxony, an antiquarian authority on these subjects, says: "The ancient heathen sat before their houses between two croHsed pine treeB and ate and drank at the turn of the year for nineteen days." The Christmas tree was introduced Into Austria Borne eighty years ago by a Duchess of Wurtemberg and spread throughout Germany. About 1840 it is supposed to have taken fresh root in England, and became highly popular. Both Thackeray and Dickens seized hold of the idea of happiness begot of Christmas—gatherings and the Christmas tree, and Charles Dickens in 1850 used "The Christmas Tree" as a title for one of his annual stories. Although Christmas was not celebrated in the first centuries of the Christian era, there are indications in the records of early Roman history of the setting up of a decorated tree at Christmas time and the presentation of gifts of fruit and toys. The Romans are supposed to have taken the idea from the early Egyptians. Centuries old, the customs of Christmas observance have taken myriad forms in the various countries of the world, In many cases they perpetuate some ancient custom which long antedates the advent of Christianity. Such are the customs which have grown up around the mistletoe, worshiped by the ancient Druids of Britain as a sacred and me gical plant. An old English writer, speaking of the Druids' celebration of the winter solstice, our Christmas, says: "This was the most respectable festival of our Druids, called Yuletide; when the mistletoe, which they called all-heal, was carried in their hands and laid on their altars as an emblem of the 8alutiferous advent of Messiah. This mistletoe they cut off the trees with their upright hatchets of brass, called celts, put upon ends of their . staffs, which they carried in their hands. Innumerable a r e these instruments found all over the British Isles. The custom is still preserved, and lately at York on the eve of Christmas day they carry mistletoe to the high altar of the cathedral, and proclaim a public and universal liberty, pardon and freedom to all sorts of Inferior and even wicked people, a t the gates of the city, towards their four quarters of heaven." The lore of the strange plant is prominently in evidence I n the Voluspa and other Scandinavian Sagas. It was with a mistletoe branch—or an arrow prepared therefrom—that t h e blind and heavy-headed deity Hoder aimer his deadly blow at Balder, the god of light or benevolent principle of northern mythology. The inspiration of the use of the mistletoe was, of course, due < to the opposing principle —of darkness or evil. The p l a n t which furnished the deadly d a r t grew on t h e slope of Asgard, and/ was the sole agent k n o w n t o gods or men— a m o n g poL sonous plants —which h a d not given definite promise to Fteya to prove harmless if used against the person of her son Balder, Thus Scandinavian mythical lore accounts for the death of the latter. And accordingly, a traditional idea of the poisonous properties of the mistletoe is found to persist In remote regions of the north and west of Europe, even to the present day. In Great Britain (In the Forest of Dean) it has been' used down to recent date as a popular remedy in the treatment of cardiac troubles. Like t h e strophantbus of African arrow poison fame/ ft proved a reliable substitute for digitalis. , Kissing under the mistletoe i s oil that now re- '}•' mains of a once horrible Druid rite. The ceremonies which t h e mistletoe figured in among the ancient Druids always accorded it a place of honor. The myths that clung around it in their wondering, puzzling minds were many more than the few that have come to us in these later years. But, old as they are, those hoary, heathen myths lack the true flavor of antiquity when it comes to measuring traditions by the centuries. Oh, we do not by any means owe our mistletoe to the Druids. We can go back so much further for the first adventures of the mistletoe that the Druids become merely modorn innovators. It waB one of the noblest of the trees iu Paradise, the lordly treo of good and evil; and on its twig hung the apple which Mother Eve plucked with such disastrous consequences. Alas for Mother Eve and Father Adam! And alas for us, their punished hfirs-at-law divine! But alas, toor for the wicked, handsome, tempting tree-of knowledge which put humanity in such graceless plight! Upon its lofty crown, its massive trunk, its delicious fruit, descended tho universal curse. It shriveled away from tho horrified rjarth; it dwindled to the meanest .sinallncss; it was cast out into the bitter cold; it became a parasite unci beggar, existing by the bounty of vulgar neighbors. Only in the pearly translucence of its shrunken fruit, the most trivial of berries, did it preserve some semblance of its once radiant splendor. And it has preserved some of its pristine virtues, too, in traditional Christian lore, as if it were still hedged about with a vestige of the glory that arrayed it in Paradise. Time was, and time is now, when epilepsy is one of the scourges of mankind; only now we look for its cure, a s we look for Its cause, in quite natural means and conditions. The notion that some poor devil with the falling sickness has been cursed from on high is held scarcely compatible, in popular science, with the principles of eternal justice or with cold observation of cause and effect. Hut in times that wero, in Wales, when an epileptic developed the Symptoms characteristic of the disorder, it was commonly believed that he was being scourged with the "rod of Christ," and that was the name by which the disease went^— althTragtir"lt had- another destgnatlrm as well—St. Valentino's sickness. The cure for it was believed to lie in the Hod of Jesse. The use of the mistletoe as the Rod of Jesse in epilepsy was general and, if faith can work wonders, perhaps the miracle of cure did sometimes attend its employment. Perhaps it didn't, If hard-headed science choose to take a shy at that gracious addition to the list of miracle-working agents. But whether it did or didn't the mistletoe's rare birth and fruition still carry with them the tenderest of Christian faiths, as they carry, too, the story of humanity's most farreaching disaster. It is one of the Christmas greens which has the warrant of religious associations dating back to the very beginnings of man's creation, even as It is accorded the sublime honor of typifying the ancestral origins.of the Redeemer of Man himself. Rut what about the mistletoe kiss? Hm! To tell the truth, if we want to be consistently Christian in our Christmas greens and the purposes to which they should be put, there isn't anything about it, at least of any records which such careful investigators as Alfred E. P. Raymond Dowjlng have dug up while studying the general subject. None will deny that the most consistent Christians have taken to the mistletoe kiss with abundant enthusiasm and a faith in its excellent results that has never been surpassed. But that doesn't make the mistletoe kiss any more Christian than it ever was. Isn't the excellent story of foolish Mother Eve and the original mistletoe apple enough for any reasonable Christmas decorator who wants to justify its employment? And if it isn't, haven't we the legend of the Rod of Jesse to make it distinctly one of the Christmas greens? As for the kisses that are supposed to go with it—well, if you Insist on knowing about them, you'll simply have to take the consequences, same as Eve did when she insisted on tasting of that confounded tree of knowledge. The mistletoe kiss seems not to be Christian a t all—Druidical, probably, and therefore heathenish, and therefore very, very wrong. So, all young men who encounter it, artfully 'suspended where a pair of ripe, red lips must pass, dn you piously refrain or, more piously, tear down the hoary old temptation and flee the accursed roof, as if it were the house of Arria Marcella and you were not Gautier's young Frenchman. And you, maidens, .give ' leave to no pagan rites; remember the fate of your poor Grandmother Eve and beware lest the fruit of the mistletoe, accursed tree of knowledge, prove now more bitter in the mouth than it did in Eden. But if you have Ivy, wreathe it generously, for the Fronch know It a s the herb of S t John, the disciple whom the Savior loved, the emblem of pure friendship, the vine that heeds not decay and death of its beloved, but clings ever more closely as the fall impends and bears up its falling ally against all adversity. Learned students of these legends have surmised, too, that It may be the herb of St. John the Baptist, who is usual- . ly pictured as the boy in bis earners-hair ooat, gazing at his ooasta, the infant Jesus.

Facts ••jtf A town which never has anything to do in a public way is on the road to the cemetery. Anyone who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man who curses the town furnishes the casket. The man so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to the city affairs is making tbe shroud. The man who does not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is pulling back from any pnblic enterprise throws boquets on the grave. The man who is howling hard times preaches the funeral sermon and sings the doxology; thus the town is buried from all sorrow and care. —Tradesman.

MICHIGAN BEFORE AND AFTER MARRIAGE What Occurs When Mr. Pennypacker Takes the Lady of His Choice Out to Dine. •Fragments of Mr. Penny packer's restaurant conversation, when the lady accompanying him in his fiancee: "I hope ni're good and hungry, dearest. I know I am." "You would like some oysters and a little clear soup, of course." "I think a nice cold quart of Chateau Qquera would go about right, don't you?" "Suppose we have some of that filet mignon with fresh mushrooms. Two portions, so we'll both have enough." "Don't want any salad? O, do have some salad. Let's have a nice fruit salad with allgator pears and things, huh ?" "You'll have some dessert, -won't you, an Ice or something—and then some chese and a deml tasse?" "O, don't let's hurry. Let's stay a while. It's so cozy here." II. Fragments of Mr. Pennypacker'a restaurant conversation when the lady accompanying him is his wife: "You're not very hungry, are you? I know I'm not." "You don't want any oysters o? soup, do you?" "You don't want anything to drinlc, do you?" . "Suppose we have a "steak. One will be enough for the two of us." "I don't care for any salad, do you?" "O, shucks: Sweets will only upset your stomach. They always do. O, very well; have It if you want to." "I don't want any cheese and coffee, do you?" "Come on; lot's get outside. It's awfully stuffy in here."—-Brooklyn Times. Nobs and Snobs. Thackeray's noted aphorism "there are nobs and there are snobs," continues to hold good in England, and those to whom the latter designation applies seem to find space for their activities in the newspapers. A London morning paper remarks: "It is Interesting to note that the queen will In future Join the guns for luncheon at the king's shooting parties." Commenting upon this a cynic in London Opinion says: "ThiB Is indeed most refreshing and should greatly stimulate the patriotic •wave in Australia and other distant parts. Queens are Independent people, and assert their right to take a glass of sherry and a biscuit in their hack sitting room if so disposed. 'To know that her majesty will positively pick the leg of a chicken in the society of her husband and friends is a great Joy, and has set me off upon my week's labors with a light heart." When Turkey Had Its "Season." The famous landlords of fifty and sixty years ago who ran the world's finest hotels from Maine to Oregon, men like Paran Stevens of the Revere house, Boston; Fifth Avenue hotel, New York, and the Continental at Philadelphia never served turkey before early October nor later than March 1. Until ten years ago only a few eastern hotels and restaurants served turkey between April and mid- September. Since then the large patronage of eastern hotels, restaurants and clubs by well-to-do western people has made the turkey and the oyster an every-day item on bills of fare prepared by landlords and stewards who used to say that neither turkeys nor oysters should he eaten In springtime, summer or early autumn. Spanish Mutton. Dog meat, we learn from the Frankfurter Zeltung, lsv largely sold In Germany, and more especially In Saiony, but rarely under Its own name. Traders describe It as Spanish mutton, and their customers are less chary of asking for it. Catfish in this country is treated In the same euphemistic way. There was a time when thiB fish was never seen in the shops. Then some •fishmongerlng genius invented the name of "rock salmon," and hestowed It npon the despised catfish, which now has an established place in the m a r k e t L i s t of Zones and Rates. Th" parcel post law which becomes effective January 1, 1913, provides: "Thiit hereafter fourth-class mail matter shall embrace all other matter, including farm and factory products, not now embraced by law in either the first, s c o n d , or third class, not exceeding eleven pounds in weight, nor ni'Mitter in »ize than seventy-two inches in length and girth combined, nor in form or kind likely to injure the person of any postal employe or damage the mail equipment or other mail matter and not of a character perishable within d period reasonably required for transportation and delivery."

Wm. Cotter Quits Pere Marquette. Wm. <-'<>tU>r will retire from the Pere Marquette railroad general manngemetit on Jan. 1, having tendered his resignation to the receivers. This action was voluntary on Mr. 'otter's part and on account of Mrs. Cotter's health. She is in a very weak condition with bronchial and pulmonary trouble, and removal to a dry climate is ordered. Mr. and Mrs. Cotter will go to Houston, Tex., where a brother, George Cotter, is in the lumber business. The receivers offered Mr. Cotter a long vacation when he tendered his resignation, but as a permanent residence elsewhere is necessary, he declined it, feeling also that such a course would not be just to the PCre Marquette, PROSPERITY LARGEST EVER Indians to Fight for Lake Front.

At the same time the house refused 181 to 88, to seat George R. McLean, his democrat opponent. It was charged on the floor that he had been guilty of the same practice as were alleged against Bowman. The seat from the eleventh district will be vacant until March 4, when it will be filled by John J. Casey, a democrat, elected in November. Law Is Aimed at " W i l d Cat" Concerns. Rep.

He also holds that a railroad company, whether in the hands of a receiver or not, can properly be held to be a common carrier of perishable shipments, and that the right of a carrier to limit its liability can be entered into by a written contract with a shipper, though not to the extent of absolving the carrier from liability for negligence. by a Not a Greek.

SAVING MAY BE $100,000,000 Postmasters Fear Wilson W i l l Rescind Taft's Civil Service Order and Take Away Their Jobs—Moving Day for Government Officials Approaches. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Men who have made a study of "spending conditions " in the federal service believe and have reported that more than ¢100,000,000 a year can be saved to the government if certain recommendations for economy be observed, and the claim is that this saving can be made without in any way crippling the service. It is probable that before the next congress ends the entire system of making appropriations will be changed, that many bureaus will be consolidated and the supply bills cut many millions of dollars, the money saved to be used for extending the useful services of the government to fields not already covered. When Theodore Roosevelt was president he appointed, what was known as "the Keep commission." It was the duty of Mr. Keep and his colleagues to study business methods in vogue in the different departments and to see how the work could be slJbrtened and yet be "Just as effective as it was under existing conditions. Start Made On Economy. When President Taft came into office one of the first thirfgs he did was to call his cabinet officers together to urge upon them the neces-< sity bf economic administration. Secretary MacVeagh was made the chairman of a cabinet committee charged with the work of economic administration. It was soon discovered that in single departments of the government the different bureaus purchased their supplies Independently of one another arid that different prices were paid for precisely the same article. One bureau for instance would pay two or three cents a dozen, more for lead pencils than another bureau was paying for the same article of the same manufacture. A good many economies, small as compared to the saving which it is lished, were made. It was a start, however, for greater things. The system which was in vogue in the treasury department, or perhaps it had better be called a lack of system, was the same which held in nearly every other department of government. All the secretaries got busy In the saving venturo and there was^ an "economic spurt" all atong- the line. Not long after the first initial economic venturo President Taft appointed a commission on economy and efficiency with Frederick A. Cleveland as its chief. This commission has been at work for more thon two years and it has worked out an elaborate and yet at the same time simple scheme for saving Uncle Sam money. Budget System Approved. President-Elect Wilson has sanctioned the budget system of appropriations which has been urged by the present president and by the commission on economy and efficiency, budget system all the appropriations asked for go to dozens of committees of congress. For Instance, the naval appropriation is acted on by several different committees, each one taking a part and no one of them knowing Just what the other is doing. The result is a scattering of energies and a scattering of money. Under the budget system all the apropriations will be considered by the chairmen of different committees acting together. They thus can get concrete knowledge of the whole situation at once and by intelligent direction can stop many holes of waste. If the economy and efficiency commission's recommendations finally be adopted by congress it is believed that the agricultural Interests of the country largely will be aided. There are bills now in congress looking to this very thing, but the cost is said to be prohibitive because of the present extravagant methods. With a saving of $100,000,000 a year, and some of the experts place it as high as $300,000,00 a year, maqy of the helpful measures now under consideration by the law makers can be passed, the money will be forthcoming, and the treasury will be just as well off as it is now and the benefits to the people will be multiplied. This matter Is going to he a live issue in congress from now on. Postmasters Fear tor Jobs. Naturally the Democrats^ of both house and senate are looking ahead to the glad time when they will come into full possession of the administration in all its branches. The Democratic leaders are nonplussed as to what to do about the blanket oivil service executive order issued by President Taft not long before the election, the effect of which was to put nearly 40,000 postmasters of the country on the civil service list It goes without saying, perhaps that nearly all of these postmasters are Republicans, many of whom have held office for years and who, unless the executive order be set aside, will continue to draw their pay from Uncle Sam for the years to come or until death or misconduct removes t h e n from their delivery windows. There ere few Republican leaders who find any fault at all with their Democratic colleagues for urging that President-elect Wilson set aside the civil service executive order of President Taft as soon after March 4 as possible. A good many of the Republicans are willing to confess that it would have been a hard blow to their party organization if years ago all the postmasters of the cottjfttry ha^j^ been removed from the field Of political appointments. They say they would have resented it and> that they cannot honestly complain because the Democrats now are seeking to prepare to have the order rescinded. The •Republicans of course Bay that the postmasters ought to be kept on the civil service list, but that this fact naturally does not prevent Democratic resentment because the order was issued just at a time to do damage to the faithful who have been waiting long for preferment For years labor has asked that a new department of government should be created to deal alone with labor problems, with a labor member in the president's cabinet as its presiding chief Not long before he set sail for Bermuda, President-elect Wilson expressed a desire to have a labor chief In his family circle. The Republicans in the past have not.been averse to the establishment of a labor department. The Democrats in the main seem to be for it, and so it is probable that one of the legislative acts of moment of the present session will be to establish such a department and to give Mr. Wilson the right to name an additional member of the cabinet. Moving Day Approaches. To a great many people Washington will not be Washington after March 4. The day following the inauguration, or at any rate some day-not far•• removed from it _wll_l be "moving day" for hosts of long time Washington residents, calling themselves temporary residents, but hoping that as the years went on they finally might write the adjective- "permanent" before the noun. What changes will take place in Washington in the personnel of the existing office forces? Well, of course, first and foremost there is the president who must move with his family and his law library to the old home on the banks of the Ohio river. Prior to the day of moving from the White House Mr. Taft will entertain for two days his coming successor as chief executive, and the successor's good wife. Philander Chase Knox, the secretary of Btate, on March 4 will give way to William Jennings Bryan possibly, or certainly to some other good Democrat of the country. Mr. Knox has been in Washington in one official capacity or another for a good many years, and he has a fine old home on K street where with Mrs. Knox he entertains In a hospitable spirit Republicans, Democrats, Progressive- Republicans and Progressives alike, to say nothing of foreigners and the casual Amcricari visitors to Washington. It Is said that Mr. Knox will move "only-from the_atata_department and that he will keep his K street house for nine months a year and will spend the other three months in the state of Pennsylvania which, after he had been attorney general in the Roosevelt cabinet sent him to the senate. MacVeagh W i l l Not Depart. Franklin MacVeagh, secretary of the treasury, is the only other cabinet officer who will not move from Washington when some good Democratic financier takes his seat in the big building where Uncle Sam's money is kept. Two years ago next Christmas day Mrs. Franklin MacVeagh presented her husband with a house on Sixteenth street. Mr. MacVeagh from the windows of his residence at the time saw tho Christmas gift building rising stone by stone only a block or two away, but he had no idea who wa3 building It or who was to live in it. Finally it was completed and, as the children say, the secretary of the treasury found the new residence "in his stocking" on Christmas morning with the "Merry Christmas card" of his wife attached. Mr. MacVeagh, it is understood, will not return to Chicago, but will continue to live in Washington in his holiday gift house. Secretary of Commerce and Labor Charles Nagel will return to St, Louis to take up the practice of the law. Secretary of the Interior Walter L. Fisher will return to Chicago to continue the course of court pleading and of closet counseling which he followed before Mr Taft called him to Washington. l Attorney General George W. Wickersham also will return to the law and probably will become a member again of the old established New York firm with which he severed his connection when bidden to come to Washington. Hitchcock May Enter Business. Frank H. Hitchcock, postmaster general, it is currently reported, has been offered eight different business positions from time to time i f he would consent to give up directing Uncle Sam's mail matters and would return to business life. It is not known whether Mr. Hitchcock will accept one of these former offers or will wait for a new and more attractive one, but the confirmed word Is that he it to enter business in New York city. Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson and the Secretary of the Navy George 'Von L. Meyler will go back to the law in the one case and to business In the other. It is possible, however, that Mr. Meyer still may have political ambitions and that he may strive one day to be made United State! senator from Massachusetts.

Asks for power to call assessing, officers together, instead of the board being required to visit each county. That the state board of assessors and the state tax commission be consolidated. That all conveyances of real estate name the actual consideration. The board of state tax commission ers made its report _to Gov, lOsbo for 1911 and 1912. It is the mosj: complete ever issued by this board." The report shows that during the past two years the assessed valuations of iron mines have been raised from $19,G2J,508 as assessed by local assessing officers, to $85,567,500 after reviews had been held. "When the board began its work in 1309, the real estate of the state was assessed at §325,858,711, and the personal property at $14&,o20,37G, or a total of both real and personal of $968,189,087. "In 1891 the real estate was assessed at $796,431,830, and the personal property at $156,299,285, a total of $952,731,115, showing an increase for the ten year period of. $29,426,8S1 in real estate and an actual decrease in the assessment of personal property of $13,968,909, and showing a net increase of the whole assessable property in the state for the ten years mentioned of only $15,407,972. "In 1910 the real estate of the state was assessed at $1,348,901,950 and the personal property at $390,750,508, or a / total of $1,739,652,458.

Under the old taxation law, the report shows 101 railroad companies, 70 ' car loaning companies, seven express companies and 250 telephone and telegraph companies paid in taxes $1,649,- 175, while under the new ad valorem tax law as administered by the tax board these companies paid the state in taxes $4,857,865 in 1910 and $4,912,- 997 in 1912. During 1912 reviews were held in six counties, resulting in increased assessed valuations by the state board of $98,092,1112. W i l l Reappraise Seven Counties. The state tax commission announced that the commission would start a reappraisal of the counties of Bay, Calhoun( and Jackson in the lower peninsula, and the counties of Alger, Baraga, Ontonagon, Chlppawa in the upper peninsula for the coming year. The work in these counties will probably take the entire year of 1913 and judging from the raises made inthose counties where reappraisalshave been held, there will be some big boosts.

For just a moment Cameron stared in dumb awe. When he turned to me he appeared suddenly to have aged. His eyes were lustreless; and his cheeks wore 9, gray pallor. "My God!" he murmured in 2» klntl of breathless whisper. I would have given a great deal to have been able to allay that terror of the impalpable which was gripping him. But 1 was helpless. Shocked and astounded, myself, solace was not at my command. More to escape (the piteous appeal of his silent gaze than In hope of making discovery, I turned in haste to one of the long windows which onened on the outer balcony. Drawing back the sashes and flinging them wide, I stepped outside and, listening, bent over the railing. But the night was strangely still. There was no sound, even, of stirring leaves. A brooding hush seemed spread over all the outdoor world— that ominous silence which often precedes the breaking of a storm. I looked up to find the heavens wrapped in a pall of Inky cloud. And then, with a feeling of having fled from a lesser to a greater evil, I returned to the lighted room, and closed the window to shut out the horror of the night. Cameron was standing where I had left him He looked woefully tired and haggard. "Explain it!" he cried, hoarsely. "My God, Clyde, explain it!" "I would to Heaven I could," .was my forlorn reply 1 CHAPTER V I I . , "From Sight of Men Into Torment." * Seldom have I passed a more miserable hour than that which followed upon the seeming phenomenon I have described. Cameron was nervously in tatters and my own pdlse was something more than threatened. The sight of a usually brave, strong, selfcontained person of stolidly phlegmatic temperament transformed Into a relaxed, nerveless, apprehensive creature is enough of itself to try one's fortitude, even with the most favorable collateral conditions. And the collateral conditions here were quite the reverse. That which had affected Cameron had exerted an influ* ence upon me as well, knowing, as I did, all the circumstances, and being interested, as I was, in my friend's problem. And so while his plight tore at my heartstrings, my own inability to grapple with the mystery contributed an added mental distress. To my dismay I found Cameron quite incapable of anything approaching a calm, common-sense discussion of the matter, and realized to the full the mischief which this last performance, coming as a climax upon a week of more or less disquietude, had effected. He sat most of the time with head bent forward and knees doubled, his toes touching the floor but his heels raised and in constant vibrating movement, as though stricken with palty. The fingers of one hand toyed Incessantly, too, with the fingers of the other, in a variety of twisting, snakelike involutions. In vain I endeavored to arouse him; to stir In him. a spirit of retaliation. Some one warn playing tricks upon him, and that tome one must be discovered and ought to justice. Common sense Id us that, however mysterious ese happenings appeared, they uld not have occurred ^without hum agency. It was our task to dis- *pver the agent and punish him. This •'•m**' my line of, argument; but fMiuugu It all, Cameron sat unmoved u In*-flttresponsive. And then there came to me again, that unwelcome suspicion that all eJontg he had been hiding something from we; that he divined the cause end tirtv^sboroe of the persecution, hsjt far aoiae reason of his own would s e t divulge them. I r u g for one of the footmen and ««4f btendr brought, and forced to swallow s stiff drtok of | B wkjoe iTjoteed hlat Bat even stinalAat had smaU effect *pcn A ^ * M t i f i p » t a b l.reUsctaasJy throned courage which followed me home, that sleep fled me and left me wide-eyed until the dawn. The tidings which came to me with my coffee that morning were more than half expected. Cameron was ill, and his physician had been summoned from New York. When I reached Cragholt the doctor had come and gone, and a trained nurse was in attendance. Evelyn, meeting me in the hall, conveyed this intelligence in a breath, and then, laying hold upon me, a slender hand upon each coat sleeve, her big eyes pLea/ilng and anxious, she ran on: "It is shock, Dr. Massey says. Deferred shock, he called it. He says Uncle Robert has suffered from some sudden grief, fright, or other dreadful mental impression. His temperature is way below normal and his "You'll find out?" he credulously. "Yes. I'll get your mall that day, myself. I'll tell that monument of pomposity, your butler, Mr. Checkabeedy, that I am to see every letter that comes to the house and know ho\v and by whom it is delivered. Letters can't get here without hands, you know." "Other things seem to be done without hands," was his conclusive comment; and I had no reply for him. Concerning Murphy and the murdered Chinaman, Cameron did not ask, and I was glad he did not. For Murphy had been discharged from custody, for lack of evidence; and though there were some desultory efforts making to place the blame for the Celestial's violent taking-off, I doubted that they would have practicable result. The precautions again3t surprise on the fourteenth, which I had outlined so briefly to Cameron, I carried out pulse is. a. .sort of rapid feeble iiutteivjwith added detail. For instance, I instructed Rom hey to- report-to me every person who passed in or out of tho gates guarded by his Lodge. I had Kilgour, the superintendent of the Cameron acres, Issue similar orders to his men concerning any strangers seen on the estate that day. And, finally, when not fetching the mail from the post office, myself— and four times I made the trip—I sat on guard in Cameron's study, waiting and expectant. But the day passed, it seemed, without the looked-for incident. Every letter, by post or by hand, which came that day, Inside the Cragholt limits was by mo personally Inspected, and amongst them all there was no one which bore the faintest resemblance to those two baleful missives of the two preceding fourteenths. When I had made my last trip to the post office, finished my final inspection, and was almost jubilant over the significant cessation of the threats which, in their ultimate fulfilment at least, had brought my friend so close to dissolution, I made haste to carry to Cameron the glad news. Oddly enough, his condition In the past forty-eight hours had materially improved, and as Dr\ Massey attributed this, in part at least, to the influence exerted by my brief visit, I was now permitted to repeat the treatment at pleasure. It wanted but a few minutes of eight o'clock, and Checkabeedy seized the occasion to inform me. as I passed through the hall, that dinner had been waiting for nearly a half-hour; a fact which I knew quite as well as he, but when I had chosen to disregard in favor of more pressing and important employment. Nevertheless I had dressed before going for the last mall, and as a moment would suffice to assure Cameron that all was well, I relieved the mind of the distressed butler, by assuring him that dinner should not wait over five minutes ldnger, so far as I was concerned. A very light tap on the chamber door was answered by Miss Collins, who came out into the passage and closed the door behind her. "I fear it is not advisable for you to see him, now, Mr. Clyde," she said. "He has suddenly had a return of some of his worst symptoms, and I am sure Dr. Massey would object to his being at all excited." "But I shan't excite him," I expained. "I have the very best of r:ews for him. It is his anxiety over a certain matter, no doubt, "which has brought about the symptoms you speak of. I know I can relieve his mind, which I have reason to believe has been all day under an unusual strain." But still this efficient-looking:, white-clad woman was not wholly convinced. "It must be only for a minute then,' she finally allowed. "You can po la alone. But at the end of Bixty seconds," she added, as she glanced at the little gold w*»-t.ch she wore pinned to her spotless waist, "I shall Interrupt you; and then you must leave." Yielding, perforce, to her condition, I entered. And BB I did so, Cameron half rose on his elbow, regarding me with what I thought was anxiety for my report. "It's all right," I said, quietly. "All right. Not so much as a line from the enemy. They have withdrawn, just as I—" But he interrupted me. "Here, quick!" he was saying. ' T a k e this!" And I saw then that one hand was drawing something from beneath his pillow. The next moment he had given me a long envelope of that thin, waxy texture 1 had learned to loathe. For a heartbeat I stood appalled. transfixed. "Quick!" be insisted, excitedly. "Open ttt Read it! Shell not leave us long and I most know its contents." "Bat how—'" I began, as I tore the Oh, do tell mo what you. know about it. What shock has he had? You were with him last evening. He was gay enough when you and he went from the music room. What happened afterward?" Caressingly I rested my palms upon hej shoulders. "My dear little girl," I satd, soothingly. "1 am sorry I can't satisfy your very natural curiosity." "But it isn't curiosity," she corrected, promptly. "It's interest." "Well, interest then. I'm sorry, I say. Something did happen; but to tell you just what it was, and why it was a shock to him, I am not able. Not now, at least. Maybe, some day, you'll know all about it." There never was a more reasonable young person than Evelyn Grayson. Most girls, I fancy, would have teased and grown peevish at being denied. But she seemed to understand. "Do you want to see uncle?" she asked me. "I don't believe it would be wise," I answered. "Probably I, being a reminder, might do him harm. Tell me how he seems? He isn't unconscious?" "No. He answers questions. But he never says anything for himself. And, Philip, he looks --so-pincired and old and pale! And his hands are so cold. The nurse has taken away his pillows and raised his feet, and— It's gruesome, that's the only word that describes it." "But he'll soon be better? The doctor said that, didn't he?" "Yes. He said that." But the reaction which usually follows shock was only partial In Cameron's case, and for days his life was in danger. Then followed a period of slow, general recovery. As the month of October progressed I feared the liability to relapse. I knew, instinctively, with what dread sensations he must be awaiting the fourteenth of the month. He had been forbidden, of course, to receive any mall, just as he had been denied visitors; but I felt that in an uncertainty that must of necessity prove injurious. And so I took Dr. Massey, in a measure, into my confidence, and gained from him permission to see Cameron for a brief moment. "He has been asking for you," the physician informed me, "but I fancied it better to make no exceptions. Now, however, I see that you may be a help instead of a hindrance." Despite the more or less circumstantial reports as to his condition and appearance which had filtered to me from the sick room, through the medium of Evelyn, Miss Collins, the nurse, and Dr. Massey and his assistant, Dr. Thome, I was not altogether prepared for the marked change which less than three weeks had wrought in my friend. He was peaked and bloodless and tired and old. And his voice was little more than a whisper. He made a brave effort to smile, as I came in, but it resulted In a sad grimacing failure. I lifted one of his thin, clammy hands which lay inert on the coverlid, but it gave me only the feeblest answering pressure. "I'm so glad you're better," I told him, cheerily. "Fancy the doctor allowing me to see you! That shows what he thinks." "Yes," he whispered, "I'm coming round, slowly. And I wanted to see you, Clyde. What day of the month li this?" "The twelfth." "pay after tomorrow, it will come," be said. "Don't be too sure," I replied. "I think they've done about enough to satisfy any ordinary villains." He was silent for a moment. Then, with lust the faintest turn, of his head from side to side, he said: "Bat they axe not ordinary villains." "Well," •ball find 1o usta idho, w" ifI tI tg odto ehs erceo;n ea,n dI Lend of the •ttvelope.

I stretched out my hand, unconsciously, and that lay beneath It, on the counterpane. It crackled as I touched [ it; and I knew then, even before I recognized the feel of it." Sixty seconds! Was there ever such an interminable period? Sixty long seconds before that door would "open with the interruption that would spare me. I fumbled with the devilish paper; let it slip through my fingers; tore a bit here and a bit there; finished the tearing; and then, dissembling, begun tearing the other end. And still the seconds lagged; still the door remained stationary. "My God, Clyde!" Cameron cried, in a frenzy of impatience. "What's the matter with you tonight? Are you never going to get that thing open?" And then I, desperate, too, with eyes fixed imploringly on the door, was about to answer him with the truth—that I did not want to open It; ] that_I would not* could, not read_the contents; that he must wait and trust me, absolutely—when, quite without design on my part, the envelope fell to the rug at my feet. And as I stooped to recover it, I heard the doorknob '..turn. ^/hen I regained the upright, Miss ! Collins was entering, and the letter was in the pocket of my dinner jacket. "And so you see, Cameron," I said, speaking distinctly and with double purpose, the nurse being in ear-shot, "everything is quite right. The matter you spoke of shall be attended to, at once, and I'll report to you, tonight— before ten o'clock, surely." The reproach in his eyes stung me, and the pain of it followed me from the room and stabbed me at intervals during dinner. And yet it was not the part of sanity to have acted otherwise than 1 did. The temptation had occurred to me to invent phrases and sentences expressive of satisfaction over the effort of the previous communications. But 1 doubted that, in my agitation, I should be successful In the deception. And so, my only course had been delay— stupid, bungling, palpable delay It was, I suppose, but after all it had served; and, though it left Cameron in doubt^-it gave me-time and opportunity to arrange some plan for extracting the fangs of this epistolary adder before It could strike its prey. Purposely I delayed reading the letter, myself, until after I had dined. I chose uncertainty as to its contents as less likely noticeably to affect my demeanor than an exact knowledge of the minatosy message which I felt sure It carried. I think I fancied I should be able to conceal my real state of mind. Certainly I willed to do BO. But I was very soon conscious that Evelyn had divined my dissimulation Her eyes became suddenly grave and question; ing, her laughter quieted, and her conversation, which hod been glad and gay, relapsed abruptly into the serious. When the coffee and liqueurs had been brought on, Mrs. Lancaster asked to bo excused, and left us alone together There followed then a moment of silence between us, while I selected a cigarette and lighted it. She had edged her chair a little closer to me —she was sitting on my right, as usual— and leaned forward, her slender but divinely rounded forearms extended across the shining damask of tho tablecloth.' As I dropped my match upon the tiny silver tray which the inimitable Checkabeedy had placed conveniently at my elbow I turned to her and saw her question in her imploring gaze and attitude even before she voiced it. "Tell m e ! " was what she said. And although I knew that she would demand it I was unprepared. To gain time rather than information I bade her be more explicit "Everything," she pursued, inclusively, with a peremptory emphasis which indicated her determination not to be denied. My hesitation resulted in some amplification on her part. She was impatient as well as resolved, and resented what she interpreted as my reluctance to gratify her. "Everything," she repeated. "Everything that you have been hiding from me from the firsr. I am entitled to know. What about the head that was cut from the portrait? What was It that caused the Bhocks which brought on Uncle Robert's lllncfea? Why did you go for the mall four times today, and sit all the rest of the time in Uncle Robert's study? What has. happened to make him worse this afternoon? What is troubling you, now?

AnJ fcor argument prevailed. She knew too much not to know more. Cameron 3 wishes in the matter could no longer fre regarded. Just how tactfully I managed the disclosure, it is not for m.» to Judge. Perhaps I told more than I should. Possibly I revealed too little. I was guided solely by the wish not to alarm her, unduly. And yet, as nearly every feature of tho affair was of necessity STATE NEWS IN BRIEF Grand Rapids.—Frank C.

Bob stood watching her, taking in the delicate lines of her face and the beauty of the "sandy" hair, which, when he was alone and forgot that Sandy was a newspaper woman and his "pal," he was pleased to call golden. "Cut that out, Sandy. You'll be hack. I have a check and it's Christmas Eve. I'm for a treat. I say—did you hear me ask you to go to the; Metropolitan? You take it as calmly as if I bad asked you to go around to Otto's lunch counter. Deuce take it! W%y can't you be a little enthusiastic?" Slowly the girl raised her head, More than a sheet of copy had been holding her attention. But she caught Bob's frown and immediately the mother instinct in her was aroused. She broke into her usual comrade laugh. "All right, Boh. The invitation overwhelmed me. The Metropolitan?

The Metropolitan was filled with the "vulgar rich'' in holiday attire; but Sandy and Bob were happy in true bohemian style as they sat at their little table chatting and joking like two boys.

The tones were perfectly calm. Six yeara of patient waiting had not been without their power. "Margaret!" "John!" "I knew you would come. I saw you last evening. I knew you would find me. Oh, John, I am BO happy!" She rested her head on his shoulder to hide the tears. "My Margaret, now and forever!" "And Constance?" "Constance is gone—and she wished it to be." A long silence.

There was no response, BO without hesitation I offered my services. He took me at once into the stateroom and introduced me to a worried-looking young man. There was no need to ask his trouble. On the couch tossed a little girl of five or six years, her cheeks and eyes bright with fever. I had a few simple remedies with me, but the child showed rather alarming symptoms of an aggravated cold. Deciding to take no risk, I sent a telegram ahead, and when we reached Chicago a physician with necessary medicines came aboard and accompanied us to Buffalo. Dorothy escaped all of the maladies with which she was threatened and by the time we reached New York was very much better. However, Mr. Singleton, her father, retained me, and the three of us went to a fashionable hotel The little girl continued to improve, but the spontaneous gayety of childhood was lacking. Christmas was approaching and Dorothy was now able to go about. I was instructed to take her to shops and matinees—in fact, to do everything to afford her amusement. , Her father suggested that she give a Christmas tree for twenty less fortunate little girls, and he kept the btg limousine car touring the shopping district while we played Santa Claua. One day we had been out all of the afternoon Dorothy had selected twenty dolls, and in retrospect I viewed my own meager childhood and fancied what such a glorious aftersoon would have meant to me, but the child appeared even more listless thao usual Peeling rather anxious, X took her temperature, gave her some atUgbJ|tlng nourishment and asked her to get into, my lap while I read to her Dorothy had the beautiful old-young n\anj&rs in. wJUch. jfcft Utile, children of the ricfc "are "drTTTe<f, Tfrid always treated me with careful consideration and politeness, regardless of her own wishes. Obediently she climbed into my lap. put her head against my shoulder, and 1 began to read aloud a wonderful Christmas tale, We are all of us children at ChriBtmas and I, found enjoyment in the story. Dorothy was very quiet, and as I turned a page I looked down to see if she had fallen asleep. To my consternation, the wide blue eyes were brimming with tears, fast overflowing and running down the child's white cheeks. As I dropped the book and clasped her closely in my arms she gave wax to convulsive sobs. Mr. Singleton came in. The opening of the door r o u s e d Dorothy, and, seeing her father, she stretched eager arms to him and cried out: "Father, dear, I don't want a tree. I Just want mother f o r Christmas." I placed the child in her father's arms and left the room. An hour passed and then Mr. Singleton rapped on my door. He told me the story. Mrs. Singleton was not dead, as I had supposed; she was in Paris, and if the separation of which he told me was caused by fault of hers he did not so much as hint at it. Mr Singleton cabled at once to Paris. There would just be time. Christmas Eve came and still no word, and though Mr. Singleton's face looked thin and strained, he started out with Dorothy at noon, telling her they were going to have a srand and glorious time that afternoon I was left to attend to the last details of the tree that stood in glittering bravery in the center of the sitting room. There was a lot to do. and I was bustling around when the door flew open and a radiant young woman rushed in, calling: •Dan! Dorothy!" Stopping quickly, her look arrested by my uniform, she exclaimed: "He— she—oh, who is 1U?M She faltered, going white. My smiling assurance that all was well brought forth a thousand questions, and we both talked at once, and I helped her off with her wraps. She cried in my arms and kissed me with fervor when I told her of how Dorothy had ?begged for her. and then she bubbled over and we had a gay afternoon finishing the tree. Mrs Singleton was on the stepladder laughing down at me when Dorothy and her father came l a The laugh dledTon Eer lips; butTcaug"htliTs gTorfc fled look and heard Dorothy's glad cry.

N tho left, just past. the w e a t h t; r hen's nest, and not more than two steps from the box where they keep the cuckoo, there is the long bed where rosea bloom all the year round. And they grow like this so that Columbine m a y a 1 w a y s have one to stick in her hair, and that odd, mocking, soft-hearted cynic Pier- Columbine. r o t may cull one now and again to twiddle between his teeth. If you know the way, and the Cheshire cat will let you, you walk down the garden path, past the butterfly lime, and arrive at the neatest little cottage in Olympus. Now this is the dwelling place of the Harlequin set—Harlequin, Columbine, Clown and Pantaloon. It is one cottage in a little colony on the lower slopes of Mount Olympus (where the high gods dwell: Jupiter and the like), and is most- important because it contains the oldest inhabitants. The Clerk of the Weather lives a little higher up. The Four Queens a2id Kings live in a square Ql pagoda-like houses, and are waited upon by the Knaves. Pierrot and Pierrette live in romantic seclusion by a pool iu a tumble-down place covered with blue roses. And away behind the fields of stars where the flocks of clouds graze, there is another village where the Seven Princesses live, and the Third Son and an Ogre, and a Talking Rabbit, and all those peculiar and beautiful people who are entangled in our minds with the memories of -night nurseries, -and__the scent of our mothers who-bent over us in wonderful toilettes, and told us to go to sleep, or they'd be late for dinner. When.it gets to be about Christmas'there is a sort of aroma of excitement on the lower slopes of Olympus, and, especially in the house where Harlequin lives—a delicious sense of something exciting happening. Columbine opens the lid of the well that looks down onto the world, and there comes up a murmur of children's voices, and you can hear the quaintest things being said about the hanging up of stockings, and about Santa Glaus and the likely width of chimneys, and the running power of reindeer. And there is a tremendous rustle of colored paper, and a great run on almonds and raisins, and quite respectable citizens stand in front of shop windows gazing at dolls and dolls gaze back at them, so that the citizens go back forty years at a rush, and the rush is so great sometimes that they get tears in their eyes; for memory is quicker than motor cars, and the road it travels- is often dark and broken. So Columbine leaves the top of the well open all day and all night, and all the people in her cottage sleep with their windows open, so that the sweetly laden air comes up and gives them wonderful dreams. It does more than that. It waves the branches of the Christmas tree that grows at the bottom of the garden, near the sausage frameB, and very soon candles begin to bud on its branches. Now when the candles begin to get ripe, which happens at the same time that geese and turkeys hang in rows in shops and grow rosettes all over them, Harlequin takes an old, oaken pipe from a cupboard under the stairs, and they all sit round while he puts it to his lips and blows. As ho plays, dreams come to them of their ancient days, for Harlequin is first cousin to Mercury, and wears a black mask to hide the light of his face when he visits Columbine, who is Psyche, the Soul; the Clown is Momus, the Spirit of Laughter; and Pantaloon is Charon, who has that grim work of ferrying the souls over the Styx. There's an odd link of memories and of things held all through the centuries, but the most charming is this: Columbine Is a flower-like person, and there is a flower called Columbine, and it is BO called because it Is like four doves with outspread wings, and the French dove is colombe, and the dove is the symbol of the soul. So the world is never allowed to forget beautiful things, even if the burden of history is borne on the back of a flower. And the god-like glow and glitter of Mercury's limbs still shows in the glistening Bequlns on Harlequin's clothes, parti-colored as thoy have always been, to show how he covall ready to be lighted. They are so ready that when Pantaloon looks out of his window before making up his lace for the day he sees that the candles have burst into flame-flowers in the night. Then Columbine takes out a pipe, and she puts some magic soap into nectar and stirs it round with the bowl of the pipe until frothy suds appear. And then she blows bubbles that float up and out of the; window until they reach the Christmas tree, when they turn into great, glittering glass balls, all sorts of colors, and show pictures of the world all colored and shining. The children in the World look up and think they see Harlequin and Columbine floating down as gently as featherc, but they don't say so because their elders would only tell them it was the clouds. But it is Harlequin and Columbine, and Pantaloon end Clown follow soon after, bringing the t r e e w i t h N o w their each to his Columbine to to preparing that m l i s t this, season, easily as ,a in a breeze. his m a g i c , things must tiful n o w, must buy the Indies. And Pierrette. C h r i e t mas them. work begins, own job and hers. Clown the laughter spring up iu and ripple as barley field Harlequin to f o r common appear beauand a penny wealth of the Pantaloon to stirring up old memories in dull people, so that uncles must remember all their nephews in remembering when they were nephews themselves, and had a peculiar hunger at Christmas. Columbine"is awfully practical. Hersentiment extends from the joy of watching the making of baby-clothes to the pleasure of remembering to put nice soap in the spare rooms. It is she who sees that children get the right presents, and when they don't it is not her fault, but the fault of some stupid person in a shop. It is she who suggests the secret delight of keeping presents hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe; and it is she who suggests the secret delight of peering at children when the,y are asleep, There are Pagan Saints who find Arcadia everywhere. Pan pipes as much in the crowded city as on Mount Ida when the sun is high. And Columbine finds roses where the world sees thorns; and Harlequin finds magic in motor 'buses; and Pantaloon digs away for pleasant memories in the most unlikely places, and finds them bright and clean, and as good as new. These half-gods of mine (and yours) come down at Christmas to correct the bilious attitude All thlB, beautified by the essence of Time, like things put away In a cedar chest, comes back when Harlequin blows on his pipe that air the shepherds learnt in Greece from Pan. The next night Clown will take out another kind of pipe, a long churchwarden of white clay, and fill it with tobacco, and then as the fragrant clouds roll up into the rafters, memories come of all the great people of the Harlequinades they play down in the world, all Inspired by them, and they see the figure of Tarlaton, who was the first clown, and Invented the vary clothes they now wear, hand in hand with GriraaldS, that great clown. And they seem to see all the great Italian Harlequins, and the dainty French Columbines, and the old dandies of fifteenth-century Venice whose clothes Pantaloon wears. Do you know that elderly gentlemen rh, the World smell that magic tobacco, or something like it, and they forget their paunches, or their bald heads, and they sit and dream of the time they went to their first pantomime? * Was it •Cinderella," or "Beauty and the Beast"? Or was it that B p l e n d i d t h i n g "Mother Oooae," or that entrancing production "The yellow Dwarf"? Such things are conjured up by just that one pipe of tobacco smoked in the cottage on Olympus, and on that night a gentle breeze blows up through the well, laden with the poignant, eternal memories of childhood, «n4 the candles on Pantaloon. the Christmas tree are of the rest They c o m e s e e d s that ers in the hearts. They ence t h a t give a man instead of a the b e i n g that the busweighs more timent h a d up his stockmas Eve, and feels like to Pierrot. of the year, to sow those grow to flowstill innocent are the influraakes y o u fifty c e n t s quarter. And w h o s a y s iness of life than the senbetter hang ing on Christsee what it find nothing but a hole in it in the morning. And when it is dark these four quaint figures flit through the country, city, town and village like conspirators, Harlequin tapping doors and windows with his magic wand. "Open, open!" .he cries to the Spirit of Chrlstmaa. "Let the rich uncle reward his needy nephew, and the unforgiving father his repentant son. Mothers, forget to be jealous of your elder daughter's growing beauty. Children, forget your spite and naughtiness. Let's be old-fashioned. Let's believe in ghosts. I'll tell you ghost-stories^ storieB of yourselves when you were children and played Pirates on the stairs. And Clown says as he taps on the doors with hfi red-hot poker: "Open, open, you old grousers! And let the Spirit of Pun come into thia house. Romp a hit, and lose your twopenny dignity, for pompous stiffness makes the gods laugh." Pantaloon, taking his turn, taps with his walking- stick, and aays: "Open, open, and let in the flood of memories of the good old times! Holly and mistletoe and robins, and church bellB sounding over the snow. And hampers all packed to be sent away, and plenty to eat at home. And then C o l u m b i n e steals up to the windows, and taps them with the rose from her hair, and she whispers: "Open, open to me all you who have no children Harlequin, and no friends and no hope, and I will bo the warm, nestling tning you covet for your frozen hearts, and you shall feel my soft cheek against yours till the tears come and your heart takes life again. You shall give joy to other people's children. And if you have no friends who have children, are there not a thousand, thousand children who have no friends? Go to them, and give them all you can, and you will be rewarded almost more than you can bear, for there is a link between thoseywho suffer. Are there not some you have forgotten or neglected? This lonely man, that lonely woman whom you have left uncared for, perhaps for years. Put on your hat and your coat, and put your heart on your sleeve, so that all may know your errand."- To see her pleading before black, sombre houses where a thin light shines under a blind; to see her face pressed against the window of some big mansion where a man or a woman sits alone with hearts like stone; to see her tears as she essays to melt an aching heart is to see something so touching and beautiful that one almost wondefs" the doors and windows are not instantly opened to admit the spirit o f love she begs for so pitifully. '» "Look at yourselves, Messieurs et Mesdames Importance, and remember the funny little things you used to be when you bit at coral and bells, and wore bibs, and thought everybody in the world had enough to eat; when you hated to gGkj to bed early, and crept downstairs in your night-^J gowns to listen over the bannisters to the voices ; in the dining room; when no jam for tea was a tragedy. And when your mother's knee was the throne of justice and mercy, for you buried your : head there with her hand in your I hair, and forgot to be afraid'of the dark." Columbine has her own very partucular work, and she calls it in her mind Secret Delights. She calla it that because she delights in making up odd names for emotions, as, for instance, when she pointed out two' lovers to iffe one day in the spring, who were seated under a hedge, yellow-flushed with primroses; they were holding hands and looking at the hills beyond just as If some, wonderful thing was about to come over the hills to tell them what their feelings meant. . And the peace was so greatand the moment so held that the World seemed to have stopped breathing. antT'-something superhuman to have poured out a cup of stillness. And she called it Liquid Velvet. A Liquid Velvet moment. And I understood. It is Columbine who watches that beautiful comedy of the newly mar-j ried, who steal about their house hand-in-hand, fearful of waking the very new servants, fearful of creaking the boards as they gaze enraptured on tho very new furniture, looking with joy on the very new pots and pans in the kitchen, turning the electric lights up and down all over the place to 'see the effect in their new bedroom. And be has a dreadful brooch for her hidden where he keeps his razors; and she has knitted him a tie he will have to wear. But it is all perfectly beautiful. Someone wrote the other day that people who read are more interested, nowadays, in business than in dove, and I'm so sorry for that man. He Is more blind than I thought anybody could be, Business may be the means to an end, but Love is the beginning and the end. And it is just at this season that Love makes business: hence the shops full of gifts. Imagine a poet writing: "Cent, per cent, the moon is rising, Watch the stocks upon the bank; Rubber shares are too surprising, Speculators are surmising Who the deuce they have to thank!" No one can get a heartbeat out of that, and whatever your business man says, he knowB he gets all the good in his life out of heartbeats. So this Christmas Spirit creeps abont the world, mocked at, scorned, but alive.yet. And yon who feel these things may one night Bee this quaint quartet at work, perhaps for a second at the corner, of your street, perhaps just vanishing down the drive, or moving swiftly down a country lane. And you may aay wonderingly: "It Is a cobweb, a moth, and the branch of a tree, and the starlight makes them look like—like something I remember." • But I tell you who they are—Harlequin, Columbine, Clown and Pantaloon! And if you hear a child's laugh ring out suddenly, and it brings a new, quick emotion, one of them has conquered you! „ 0 - ,,, The spirit of Christmas doesn't cling to presents in proportion to their cost—unless y m are very rich; and if you-are very rich the voice of the jeweler and of the furrier and of the motor car maker will seem to you as wise, as the word of a happy poor man, though he were a philosopher. Simple and genuine and glad—strike these notes and the chimes will he very melodiously for you and for those whom you try to make happy. And remember, you can't feign Christmas without being caught as an Impostor, both h7 your own conscience and by the feelings of those about you. The very value of Christmas is that It puts the genuineness of everybody to tat unerring teat Ctown.

A device for holding a bag open and at the same time holding It above the ground—on a fence post, for example, has been invented by a North Dakota man. It consists of a pair of metal bars that are plvotally connected. The short ends of the bars are bent in to form spun*, like the tongs, and Bag H o l d i n g F r a m e . the long endB form a rectangular frame in which the mouth of the bag is fixed. A strong spring joins the long ends near the pivotal point When the outer ends of the bars are spread apart the inner ends spread also and can then be made to embrace a poBt. When the device is let go and the spring contracts it grips the jaws against the post and holds the apparatus in horizontal position, with the mouth of the bag open. TIME FOR UMING PASTURES Late Fall Is Best as Winter Rains Will Work It Into Soil—Spread as Soon aa Alr-SUcked. The latter part of the fall is the best time to lime the pasture, as the winter ralnB and snows will gradually work it into the soil. A medium dressing, about 40 bushels or air-slacked lime spread to the acre, is about the right quantity to use. One bushel of freshly- burnt lime, when air slacked, will make two bushels; 20 bushels of freshly burnt lime will cost six cents per bushel at trSjkiln, which is $1.20 per acre, not counting the hauling. This is an economical dressing for one. acre of grass pasture. The lime should be spread as soon as it is air-slacked. The field should be run over with a sharp iron-tooth harrow, and about ten pounds of a mixture of timothy, red top and blue grass sown to the acre. In the spring sow two pounds of red clover, one pound of white clover, and one pound of alsita cloverseed to the acre. The clover and grass will make; a rapid growth In the spring if the land is in good health. Lime sweetens land; kills out Borrel; rots up the vegetable matter; disintegrates the hard particles of clay and puts the ground in good condition for plant growth. Ground limestone is now quite large-, ly used and has some advantages over burnt lime. Being ground very flne» it may be drilled in with the seed inl any quantity. Ground limestone has a very mild action on the soil, and ia not as effective as burnt lime. It is now recommended for light lands and for land that is to be sown in alfalfa. Two to three tons is said to be the proper dressing forgone acre. Prepared lime or agricultural lime is made by adding water to caustic lime out of contact with air. By this process 56 pounds of caustic lime becomes 74 pounds of hydrate of lime. HOW TO MAKE CORN SHELLER FARMERS GOING BACK EAST Maiy Advantages Offered Worn Out Farms by Adoption of Modern Methods of Agriculture. A good many men at the present time are going east (in many instances these were farmer boys back east before they grew up and went west) and buying worn out, rocky homesteads that have been abandoned, hoping with the money and Ideas they gained in the west to make themselves wealthy on the abandoned acres near the big eastern markets. There should be a great opportunity for active young agriculturists with modern agricultural training in the old eastern states. Many farms there have been abandoned because of the depleted condition of the soil and the fact that competition with the fresh lands of the west was unprofitable on standard crops. It la Bald that at the present time nearly 2,000,000 acres of Idle farm land is lying along the boundary line between New York state and Pennsyl« vania. Surely, with the great markets at the very door of these lands, there are for the eastern farmer wonderful possibilities.

Usually these* machines are necessities but the first cost is always something of an Item. G A R D E N &»* FARM NOTCS Keen tools save time, labor and do ost efficient work. The man with the silo is not worrying over^wjnter feed. Anything that reduces the cost of maintenance increases the profit. As a general rale, potatoes should be planted on fresh gxound^each yean. A 160-acre farm with a silo wtH .produce aa much revenue as a 180-ai farm without Deep plowing increases the soil's water-holding power, also Its plant* feeding power. The corn that shells off while husk* ing can be saved if a coal shovel is used in unloading. It's a shame to let a vast amount of feed go to waste each year by not using the corn stalks. Asparagus is a hardy plant, ft does not need a winter mulch to keep it from being killed by freezing. » More alfalfa means more homegrown feed and smaller feed bills. It naturally leads to better profits. Borne people have gone so far as to claim that the corn stalks in the silo are worth as much as the ears in the crib. f> Secure an abundance of good, clean straw now, for bedding, thus insuring the'comfort of all animals during the winter months. A few gallons of paint would not be expensive^ but if it were rightly applied It would add a great deal toi the value of the place.

I suffered a great deal, especially at night, on account of 11B itching and burning. I would scratch It and of course that irritated it very much. This rash was on my face for about two years, sometimes breaking out lots worse and forming larger sore* It kept me from sleeping day or night for a couple of months. My face looked disgraceful and I was almost ashamed to be seen by my friends. "A friend asked me to try Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment. I would bathe my face with hot water and a lot of Cutlcura Soap, then I would put on the Cutlcura Ointment.

It is never out of order to remind people that no law can enforce itself Tbe stalnte books of most states have in them many excellent laws that are indifferent. One common fault is that while many people are anxious to have good laws passed tbey take no interest in having thoRe laws enforced, and so tbey remain « dead letter.

Figures published by the federal butreau of education give evidence that the rewards of genius engaged in the educational field are considerably below those attainable in oth-r of the learned professions and in many industrial avocations. The highest paid head of a state-aided institution of learning is -he president of th« Uuiver-« Hlty of California, who receives $12.- OOO a year and house. The president •of Cornell university and the University of Illinois, each receive J10,- OOO a year and house, and the president of the University ot Minnesota, \ 110,000 a year -without house. Other presidents 'salaries run dowsx as low as $2,400. The beBt paid full professor •enJoyB an income ot f€,<HK) a year, and the least paid tutor straggles along on an allowance of $50. When it Is considered that there are lawyers tn the country earning from $50,000 to $100,000 a year, that eozne medical men command almost as laTge earnings, and that many engineers, presidents of manufacturing concerns and others engaged in industrial pursuits are equally weil rewarded, one may well marvel that so many men of superlative intelligence devote their liveB to pedagogy. PRESIDENT SENDS ANOTHER MESSAGE .—•___ Tells Congress About the Fiscal, Military, Insular and Judicial Affairs of the Nation, Including Panama Canal and Tolls Established. There are'almost two sides to the simple little facts of life. There is this matter oT drinking water at one's jtteals.Tt has beeli regarded as a miserable habit. The school textbooks teach it that way, and they give very impressive reasons for it. It used to be taught—drink at your meals, if you feel like it; drink all you want; it is good for you; helps digestion. Then came the opposite doctrine, never drink at your meals, and not for an hour afterward, and that Idea has prevailed and is a part of our wlso school knowledge these days. Now comes Professor Hawk of the University of Illinois who has been studying the subject for seven years, and his conclusion is that water-drinking at meals helps digestion, principally by utilizing the protein food, which is, regarded as the most important function of digestion, says the Ohio Journay. Then, fluids help digeBt the fats and throttle the bacteria that rango along the alimentary canal and keep' stirring up all sorts of tumults. So the latest information is not to let' anybody scare you about drinking water at your meals. Just drink what you want and forget about it. Scientists say that the average man eats 60 per cent, more food than he uses. This is a violation of economic law. Hence dyspepsia and kindred ills. The best digestive tonic in the world is hunger, actual, gnawing hunger. ' Let the average dyspeptie try it for a while and see how it "works. The only animal in the world 1hat eats when he is not hungry is a liog—of one kind or another. A Japanese steamship company issues with each ticket sold a coupon representing a certain seat in a lifeboat and requests the passenger to acquaint himself with tho location of the particular boat to which he is al< loted. Is there any harm in accepting a suggestion from the Orient? A new benefactor of mankind has arisen in California. He has discovered a concoction which robs roosters of their ability to crow. -A sharp ax administered with vigor just where the tall feathers merge into the comb Is also effective. The supreme cour^of Iowa has decided that tips belong to the person who receives them, not to any boss or syndicate that grabs the privileges. It would have been a better decision to brand them as bribery and illegal. A Brooklyn motor cyclist dying from cancer has been pronounced a victim of the jouncing of the machine. Hut why blame the cycle for Brooklyn's uneven pavements? Baldy, a New York monkey, examines his food to se« whether it is inhabited by germs. Science has robbed the monkey of his gastronomical pleasures. Japanese school children are taught to write with both hands. Just think what Journalists they'd have made before typewriters were invented. A railroad company is asked to pay $200,000 for the death of a chimpanzee. Must have been the missing link the biologists are looking for. 'A machine has been invented by which the blind can hear light. Now, it they only fix up another so that 'the deaf can see sound, all will be »*ppy. ^A pitcher for champagne has been dftrented by an Englishman. But few <of us drink champagne by the pitcher.

It Is a year when tho bushel or unit price of agricultural products has gradually "fallen, and yet the total value of the entire crop is greater by over $1,000,000,000 than we have known in our history. Condition of the Treasury. The condition of the treasury Is very tintlsfactory. "Thrvr totnt 1 nterest-bt» arin*f debt is $-»«.777,770, of which $134,031,980 con- Rtlute the Panama canal loan. The mminterest- bearing debt Is $378,301.2X4.90. Including $346,671,011) of greenbacks. We have In the treasury $1.-)0.000,000 in gold coin as a reserve against the outstanding greenbacks; and in addition we have a cash balance in the treasury as a general fund of |167,152,478.99, or an Increase of $2-,975,- 562 over the general fund last year. Receipts and Expenditures. For three years the expenditures of the government have decreased under the Influence of an effort to economize. This year presents an apparent exception. The estimate by the secretary of the treasury of the ordinary receipts, exclusive of postal revenues, for the year ending June 30, 1914. indicates that they will amount to $170,000,000. The sum of the estimates of the expenditures for that same year, exclusive of Panama canal disbursements and postal disbursements payable from postal revenues Is $732,000,000, indicating a deficit of $22,000,000. For the year ending June 30, 1913. similarly estimated receipts were $667,000,000, while the total corresponding estimate of expenditures for that yeai', submitted through the secretary of the treasury to congress, amounted to $656/)00,000. This shows an Increase of $76,000,000 in' the estimates for liH4 over the total estimates of 1913. This Is due to an increase of $25,000,000 in the estimate for rivers and harbors for the next year on projects and surveys authorized by Congress; to an Increase under the new pension bill of $32,500,000; and to an increase In the estimates for expenses of the navy department of $24,000,000. The estimate for the navy department for the year 1913 included two battleships, i.'ongress- made provision fur only one.battleship, and therefore the navy department: has deemed it necessary and proper to make an estimate which Includes the first year'H expenditure for three battleships In addition to the amount required for work on the uncompleted ships now under construction. In addition to the natural tncreaae in the expenditures for the uncompleted ships, and the additional battleship estimated for, the other increases are due to the pay required for 4,000 or more additional enlisted men in the navy. and to this must be added the additional cost of construction Imposed by the change In the eight-hour law which makes It applicable to ships built In private shipyards, The president then explained at some l e n g t h the national reserve association s y s t e m recommended by the monetary commission and urged congress to examine the plan impartially from all standpoints and then to adopt some plan which will secure the benefits desired. Concerning1 the tariff he had little to nay in view of the fact that a n e w cong r e s s has been elected on a platform of tariff for revenue only. Army Reorganization. Our small army now consists of S3,809 men, excluding the 5,000 Philippine scouts. Leaving out of consideration the coast artillery force, whose position is fixed in our various seacoast defenses, and the present garrisons of our various Insular possessions, we have today within the continental United States a mobile army of only about 36,000 men. This little force must be still further drawn upon to supply the new garrisons for the great naval base which is being established at Pearl Harbor, In the Hawaiian Islands, and to protect the locks now ra.pl4.ly approaching completion at Panama. [ -fhe force* remaining In the United States are now scattered In nearly fifty posts, situated for a variety of historical reasons In twenty-four states. These posts contain only fractions of regiments, averaging less than 700 men each. In time of peace It has been our historical policy to administer these units separately by a geographical organization. In other words, our army in time of peace has never been a united organisation but merely scattered groups of companies, battalions and regiments, and the first task in time of war has been to create out of these scattered units an army fit for effective teamwork and co-operation. To the task of meeting these patent defects, the war department has been addressing Itself during the past year. A comprehensive plan of reorganization was prepared by the war college division of the general staff. This plan was thoroughly discussed last summer at a series of open conferences held by the secretary of war and attended by representatives from all branches of the army and from congress. In printed form it has been distributed to members of congress and throughout the army and the national guard, and widely through institutions of learning and elsewhere in the United States. In it, for the first time, we have a tentative ohart for future progress. The National Guard. Under existing law the national guard constitutes, after the regular army, the first line of national defense. Its organisation, discipline, training-, and equipment, under recent legislation, have been assimilated, as far as possible, to those o( the regular army, and Us practical efficiency, under the effect of this training, has very greatly increased. Our clti- ,sen soldiers under present conditions have reached a stage,of development beyond which they cannot reasonably be asked to go without further direct aa- ''vtatano* In the form of pay from the federal government. On the other hand, such 'pay from the national treasury would not . bo Justified unless it produced a proper j teulvsle&t in additional efficiency on the part of the national guard. The organized militia today cannot be ordered outside of the hmlta of the United States, and thus cannot lawfully be used for general military purposes. The officers and men are ambitious and euycr to make themselves thus available and to become an efficient national reserve of citizen soldiery. They are the only force of trained men, other than the regular army, upon which wc can rely. The so-called military pay bill, in the form agreed on between the authorities of the war department and the representative* of the national guard, In my opinion adequately meets these conditions and offers a proper return for the pay which it is proposed to give to the national guard. I believe that its enactment into law would be a very long step toward providing this nation with a first line of citizen soldiery, upon which its main reliance must depend in case of any national emergency. Plans for the organisation of the national guard into tactical divisions, on the same lines as those adopted for the regular army, are being formulated by the war college division of the general staff. Porto Rico, Mr. Taft says, continues to s h o w notable progress and he urges the senate to pass the bill g r a n t i n g the Porto Rieans American citizenship. Philippines. A bill is pending In congress, continues the message, which revolutionizes the carefully worked out scheme of government under which the Philippine islands are now governed and which proposes to render them virtua l l y rratrmomous at once and absolutely independent in eight years. Such a proposal can "only be rouTTcTeTI on the assumption that w e have now discharged our trusteeship to the Filipino people and our responsibility for them to the world, and that t h e y are now prepared for s e l f - g o v e r n m e n t as -well as national sovereignty, A thorough and unbiased knowledKe of the facts clearly shows that these a s s u m p t i o n s are absolutely with justification. As to this, I believe that there is no substantial difference of opinion a m o n g any of those who have had the responsibility of facing- Philippine problems in the administration of the islands, and I believe that no one to w h o m the future of this people is a responsible concern can countenance a policy fraught w i t h , the direst consequences to those on whose behalf it is ostensibly urged. Our true course is to ptirsue steadily and courageously the path we have thus far followed; to guide the Filipinos into self-sustaining pursuits; to continue the cultivation of sound political habits through education and political practice; to encourage the diversification of Industries, and to realize the advantages of their industrial education by conservatively approved co-operative methods, at once checking the dangers of concentrated wealth and building up a sturdy, independent citizenship. Regulation of Water Power. There are pending before congress R large number of bills proposing to grant privileges of erecting dams for the purpose of creating water power In our navigable livers. The pendency of these bills has brought out an Important defect in the existing general dam act. That act does not, in my opinion, grant sufficient power to the federal government in dealing with the construction of such dams to exact protective conditions in the interest of navigation. It does not permit the federal government, as a condition of its permit, to require that a part of the value thus created shall W applied to tho further general improvement and protection of the stream. I believe this to be one of the most Important matters of internal improvement now confronting the government. Most of the navigable rivers of this country are comparatively long and shallow. In order that they may he made fully useful for navigation there has come into vogue a method of improvement known as canalization, or the slack-water method, which consists in building a series of dams and locks, each of which will create a long pool of deep navigable water. At each of these dams there Is usually created a long ppol of deep navigable water. At each of these dams there la usually created also water power of commercial value. If the water power thus created can be made available for the further improvement of navigation In the stream, it Is manifest that the improvement will be much more quickly effected on the one hand, and on the other, that the burden on the general taxpayers of the country will be very much reduced. Private interests seeking permits to building waterpower dams in navigable streams usually urge that they thus Improve navigation, and that if they do net impair navigation they should be allowed to take for themselves the entire profits of the water-power development. Whatever they may do by way of relieving the government of the expense of improving navigation should be given due consideration, but It must be apparent that there may be a profit beyond a reasonably liberal return upon the private investment which is a potential asset of the government in carrying out a comprehensive policy of waterway development. It Is no objection to the retention and use of such an asset by the government that a comprehensive waterway policy will Include the protection and development of the other public uses of water, which cannot and should not be ignored in making and executing plans for the protection and development of navigation. It Is also equally clear that Inasmuch as the water power thus created is or may be an incident of a general scheme of waterway Improvement within the constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government, the regulation of nucli water power lies' also within that Jurisdiction. In my opinion constructive statesmanship requires that legislation should be enacted which will permit the development of navigation in these great rivers to go hand In hand with the utilization of this by-product of water power, created In the course of the same improvement, and that the general dam act should be so amended as to make this possible. I deem it highly important that the nation should adopt a consistent and harmonious treatment of these waterpower projects, which will preserve for this purpose their value to the government, whose right it is to grant the permit. Any other policy in equivalent to throwing away a most valuable national asset. The Panama Canal. During the past year the work of construction upon the canal has progressed most satisfactorily. About 87 per cent, of the execavation work has been completed, and more than 93 per cent. «of the concrete for all tho locks Is In place. In view of the great Interest which has been manifested as to some slides In the- Culebra Cut, I am glad to say that the report of Col. Ooethals should allay any apprehension on this point. It is gratifying to not* that none of the slides which occurred during this year would have Interfered with the pass*** of th* ships had the canal, la fact, been in operation, and whan the slop* pressures will have been finally adjusted and th* growth of vegetation will minimize erosion In th* banks of the cut, the slide problem will be practically solved and an ample stability- assured for the Culebra Cut. Although the .official date of the opening has been set for January 1, 1915, the canal will, In fact, from present Indications, be opened for shipping during the latter half of 1913. N o fixed date can as yet he set, but shipping interests will be advised us soon as assurances can Y>e given that vessels can pass through without unnecessary delay. Recognizing the administrative problem in the management of the canal, coni- rress in the act of August 24, 1912, has made admirable provision for executive responsibility i n the control, of the canal and the government of the Canal Zone. The problem q/ most efficient organization Is receiving Careful consideration, so that u scheme of organization and control best adapted to tho conditions of the canal may b«# formulated and put in operation an expeditiously as possible. Acting under the authority conferred on me by congress, 1 have, by executive proclamation, promulgated the following scheduel of tolls for ships passing through the canal, based upon the thorough report of Emory R. Johnson, special commissioner on traffic and tolls: 1. On merchant vessels carrying passengers or cargo. $1.20 per net vessel ton—each 100 cubic ___t--of actual capacity. 2. On vessels in nallast without passengers or cargo, 40, per cent, less than the rate of tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo. 3. Upon naval vessels, other than transports, colliers, hospital ships, and supply ships, 50 cents per displacement ton. 4. Upon army and navy transports, colliers, hospital ships, and supply ships, $1.20 per net ton, the vessels to be measused by the same rules as are employed in determining the net tonnage of mer- . chant vessels Rules for the determination of the tonnage upon which toll charges are based are now In course of preparation and will be promulgated in due season. P a n a m a Canal T r e a t y . Tlie proclamation which I have Issued In respect to the Panama Canal tolls is In accord with the J Panama Canal act passed by this congress August 24, 1912. —We—have -been advised—that the British government has prepared a protest against the act and its enforcement in so far as it relieves from the payment of tolls American ships engaged in the American coastwise trade on the ground that it violates British rights under the Hay- Pnuncefote treaty concerning the Panama Canal. When the protest is presented, it will be promptly considered and an effort made to reach a satisfactory adjustment of any differences there may be between the two governments. Promotion for Col. Goethals. As the completion of the canal grows nearer, and as the wonderful executive work of Col. Goethals becomes more conspicuous In the eyes of the country and o_ the world, It seems to me wise and proper to make provision by law for such reward to him as may be commensurate with the service that he has rendered to his country. I suggest that this reward take the form of an appointment of Col. Ooethals as a major general in the army of the United States, and that the law authorizing such appointment be accompanied with a provision permitting his designation as chief of engineers upon the retirement of the present incumbent of that offlen. Navy Department. Tho navy of the United States? is in a greater state of efficiency and is more powerful than it has been before, but In the emulation which exists b e t w e e n different countries In respect to the increase of naval and military a r m a m e n t s this condition Is not a permanent one, In view of the many improvements and Increases by foreign g o v e r n m e n t s the slightest halt on our part in respect to n e w construction t h r o w s us back and reduces us from a naval power of the first rank and places us a m o n g the nations of the ^ second rank, A year a g o c o n g r e s s refused to appropriate for more than one battleship. In this I think a g r e a t mistake of policy w a s made, and I urgently recommend that this c o n g r e s s make up ' for the m i s t a k e of the last session by appropriations authorizing the construction of three battleships, in addition to destroyers, fuel ships, and the other auxiliary v e s s e l s as shown In the building program of the general board. We are confronted by a condition in respect to the navies of the world which requires us, If we would maintain our navy a s an Insurance of peace, to a u g m e n t our naval force by at least t w o battleships a year and by buttle cruisers, gunboats', torpedo destroyers. ?.nd submarine boats in a proper prorotion. We have no desire for war. We go as far as any nation in t h e world to avoid war, but w e are a world power. Our population, our w e a l t h , our definite policies, our responsibilities in the Pacific and the Atlantic, our defense of the P a n a m a canal, together with our enormous world trade and our missionary outposts on the frontiers of civilization, require us to recognize our position as one of the foremost in the family of nations, and to clothe' o u r s e l v e s with sufficient naval power to g i v e force to our reas o n a b l e demands, and to g i v e w e i g h t to our Influence In those directions of progress that a powerful Christian nation shotfld advocate. Department of Justice. This department h a s been very active in the enforcement of the law. It has been better organized and w i t h a l a r g e r force than e v e r before in the history of the government. T h e prosec u t i o n s which h a v e been successfully concluded and w h i c h are n o w pending t e s t i f y to the effectiveness of the department work. T h e prosecution of t r u s t s under the Sherman a n t i - t r u s t l a w h a s gone on w i t h o u t restraint or diminution, and decrees similar to t h o s e entered in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases have been entered in other suite, like the s u i t s a g a i n s t the p o w d e r trust and the bath tub trust. I a m very s t r o n g l y convinced that a steady, consistent course In this regard, w i t h a c o n t i n u i n g of Supreme court decisions upon the new p h a s e s of the trust question not already finally decided, is g o i n g to offer a solution of this much-discussed and troublesome issue in a.quiet, calm and judicial w a y , w i t h o u t any radical l e g - islation c h a n g i n g the governmental policy in regard to combinations now denounced by the Sherman anti-trust law. I h a v e already recommended a s an aid in this matter legislation which would declare u n l a w f u l certain w e l l - k n o w n phases of unfair competition In interstate trade, and I have also a d v o - cated voluntary national incorporation for the larger industrial enterprises, w i t h provision for a closer supervision by the bureau of corporations, or a board appointed for the purpose, so asto m a k e certain compliance w i t h the a n t i - t r u s t l a w on t h e one hand and to g i v e greater s e c u r i t y to the stockholders a g a i n s t possible prosecutions on the other.

WILLIAM H. TAFT. I W i t TALK PEACE IN KING'S PAtACE BALKAN PEACE CONFERENCE TO BEGIN FRIDAY, T H E THIRT E E N T H , IN ST. JAMES PALACE, LONDON. W I L L BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS IN DEFIANCE OF A L L SUPERSTITIONS. The Outlook for Lasting Peace Throughout Europe Is Considered Promising. The Balkan war situation is practically unchanged. There is no confirmation of the Constantinople dispatches that Greece has affixed a belated signature to the Baghtche protocol for an armistice. As far as can be learned, Greece still refused to join the truce agreement. The other Balkan states and Turkey are continuing their preparations for the peace conference which, in apparent defiance of all superstition, will begin in London on Friday, Dec. 13. Athens dispatches give assurance that Greece will participate in the negotiations^ With peace of some kind, no matter how costly, assured by the protocol, it is agreed that Turkey__has turned her _atten.tiQ.n_ _to a p o l i c y o f diplomacy that will sow the seeds of dissention among the Balkan allies, in order that Turkey might conclude as favorable a bargain as possible. Diplomatists and war experts credit to Turkish mendacity all of the little disquieting rumors from eastern Europe, reports for which no foundation in fact can be discovered. The report that the Greeks had signed a separate and more advantageous armistice with Turkey; that Roumania would insist on representation in the London conference, and a part in the division in the spoils; that the Greeks would hold aloof from the negotiations; that Servia would persist in her defiance of Austria- Hungary, and various other rumors of the same kind were attributed the porte's crafty efforts to stir up trouble. With all of the Balkan belligerents appointing their peace plenipotentiaries and all of the six powers accepting the proposal for the ambassadorial conference, the outlook for lasting peace throughout Europe Is considered promising. 500 Die of Cholera. Cholera is causing great havoc in the native quarters of the Turkish capital. It is officially admitted that over 1,000 cases have occurred during the paBt 20 days and that half of them have been fatal. ThiB total, however, is believed to be much below Ihe real figures. The prefect In a proclamation Issued refers to the great proportions of the epidemic and warns the public that failure on their part to notify cases of cholera to the authorities will be punished by fine and imprisonment.

Warren Shepard, of Belding, Mich., will get $1,200 in a lump from Uncle Sam as back pension. He will also receive $12 a month. Nearly 1,000 children will be presented with shoes at Chirstmas through the beneficence of the Grand Rapids lodge of Elks. The order will j spend $1,000. West Side Business association of Saginaw adopted a resolution urging the state legislature to take action to insure Michigan being represented at the Pan-American exposition in San FranclBco in 1915. The Michigan crop report just issued shows that the condition of wheat is good. The condition as compared with an average per cent is 90 in the southern counties; 88 in the central counties and 97 in the upper peninsula. Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Buschke, of Saginaw, are the parents of twin daughters, who will celebrate their birthdays on different dates. One daughter was born shortly before midnight Friday and the other early Saturday morning.

Now that he was out of the shadow, I saw too, more clearly, what manner of man he was. His ru- ••':y*,: u v 't through t h e - g l o o m , w a s abnormally large, yet not out of proportion with MB herculean torso. His red hair, frowsy, unkempt, was of such abundance, that, in the dark, its outline had given me a grotesquely magnified impression. His red beard, too, was thick, long, and untrimmed. What little, of his face showed, was sunburned to what, in the dim light, seemed the color of ripe russet apples. Hia eyes were nearly indiscernible, deep set, under bushy red brows. "If you had shown the least bit of humanity to brother men in distress," I responded. In a half jocular vein, "I'd probably never thought of this being your place, and you being you; and the Incident of the morning might have been forgotten." I thought I heard his teeth grit together in his effort to suppress a rising rage. I certainly saw his hands clench; and then, with an assumption of Indifference, ho took a final puff at his cigar and tossed it, sparkling, among the weeds of his lawn. It was evident to me, now, that in spite of the nonchalance he affected, my reference to the Chinaman's poaching, and his presence at Cragholt, had aroused his Interest, and so hoping to draw him out, I continued: "Your man told the lodge-keeper that you sent him over to borrow a rifle." "You don't mean to, tell me you'd believe a Chinaman, do you?" he returned. **It wasn't for me to believe or disbelieve. The lodge-keeper believed him." "And so he borrowed a rifle, and then with one of Cameron's own Instruments of destruction proceeded to destroy Cameron's game? Is that It? What did he shoot? A deer or one of those starved-looking white dogs that Cameron has following him about?" Apparently Murphy knew much more of my. friend than my friend knew of Murphy. "Neither, I fancy. In fact, I'm no/ sure just what he did shoot in the way of game. But he seems to have Indulged in a hit of target practice. He found a piece of an old portrait, tacked it to a tree, and shot holes in i t Rather silly, eh? Foolish for him to chance getting into trouble for child's play of that tort" "How do you know that?" he growled, with an Inadvertent dropping of hia mask. There was no mistaking, now, that I had made captive his attention. "I taw the target," I answered, •Imply. "That's like saying, 1 caught a twelve-pound bass. Here's the hook and line to prove i t ' " "X have a scale of the bass." -A what?" "Something your Chinaman dropped besjde the tree." Phlegmatic though he was, something very like a start followed upon my words. Then, as if to cover the movement, he shrugged his shoulders, and chuckled ponderously. - H i t viflUhg card, I suppose." "Nearly as good," I supplied, "the bowl of his opium pipe." At that moment Jerry cam* %round the oerner of the house and stopped abruptly, stupefied by suiferise; for the open mouth of the giant issued a rosr of hats laughter, reverberated in weird discordthrough the night silences, on bally idiot!" he cried, his gufeoded.

And then, seeing Jerry, who had quickly Joined ma: "Didn't ffiMHttsi eh?

For the time being my consideration of Cameron and his strange problem was suspended. Now and then the subject recurred to me, dragged into the mental light on the train of Evelyn Grayson; but almost immediately it was buried beneath a question of editorial policy or a debate regarding a contract for white paper at an extortionate increase in price. When, however, my business day was ended, and I had boarded the train for Greenwich, the whole involved enigma spread itself again 4>efor* m«r demanding attention. And in the midst of it, dominating it, stretching his great Bhadow over it to the farthest limit, appeared that frowsy red giant. Murphy, a mystery within a mystery; for, though he seemed to pervade it, there was no head, as I had already discerned it p o j n t ~ a t ' w h i c h ' l " c o u W ^dScover "him quite touching it. - In vain I tried to detect a real qonnection. I started with the letters. They bore no single characteristic mark of this uncouth creature. As an artist he might have devised the curious silhouette signature, but there was something about that—some cunning, inventive subtlety—which I could not reconcile with the ogre I had played upon, stung to anger and aroused to curiosity. That he could either have conceived or executed the ruin of the portrait I did not believe possible. The conception, like the letters and the signature, bore evidence of a craftiness too fine for such as he; and to fancy him, mammoth that he was, stealing unobserved into Cameron's stury, was to fancy the Incredible. And so, though the impression of intimate relationship "persisted, I could find no point of cpntact, closer or more definite than through his servant's rifle practice, which after all might have been quite without motive, There was little, therefore, in the line of reason, to convict Murphy of any knowledge of the matters which had so disturbed us. And yet, as I have said, I felt intuitively that he possessed an Intimate acquaintance with the whore affair. At the Greenwich station, \ found my touring car waiting; my mother in the tonneau. My chauffeur touched his cap as I approached. " "You may drive, Francois," I said, and I took the place at my mother's side. "You look tired, Philip," she announced when I had kiBsed her. "Was it very warm in the city?" Her eyes were ever quick to note infinitesimal changes in my appearance of wellbeing. "Not uncomfortable," I answered, indulgently. "I had a very busy day, though. But I'm not the less fit because of it." "We have had some little excitement here," she hastened, eager to give me the news. "* "Old Romney called you up on the telephone about noon. I happened to answer it, myself, and when I told him you were In New York, and would not be back until six, it just seemed he couldn't wait to unburden himself. 'Won't you please tell him, Mrs. Clyde,' he said, 'that Mr. Murphy's Chinaman was found at daybreak this morning, lying dead, just outside Murphy's back door?'" "Found dead'." I cried, in amasement. "That is what he said. Then he added that the poor fellow's head bad been crushed with some heavy Instrument, and that Mr. Murphy had been arrested on suspicion and was In the Cos Cob lockup." For a full minute, I think, I sat in silent amase. Then theories and con* jectures In infinite variety gave chase, one after the other, through my excited brain. But it was more than ever difficult, I found, to reach anything like a satisfactory conclusion concerning th"e position the now lifeless Celestial and his accused mas* ter held in the chain of mysteries I wished so much to solve. That they were both of them more or less Important Huks, however, I had small doubt. "Did you know Mr. Murphy?" my mother asked. And all at once I realised that her question was a repetition. In my absorption I bad not heeded the original inquiry. "Nobody knows him," 1 answered, unconsciously echoing the words voiced by the man in the catboat on the previous night. . "Nobody knows him. But I've met him in a rather casual way." CHAPTER V I . Nell Gwyrms's Mirror. With the approach of the twentyfirst of the month, which Is to say the seventh day following Camamf a tbm aa*f sat tdace for jam ta buy gas-1 receipt of the second letter, I ob- •3 otana, «aa mm esr f apeot at my oflfcevf fmNaw^TwtVbtjay wttk the hundred 4*a*» lb* m to tft* maklaf of a served in him a growing nervous rest- H statu, which with praiseworthy effort la waa •fricjaauy striving to ova* Of as? natt to the rad giant and the tragedy which followed it, he was, of course, informed; as he had been of the incident in the wood, Including the finding of the bullet pierced piece of canvas. Everything, save only that Evelyn was the discoverer of the portrait remnant— which I thought best under the circumstances to keep secret—was told to him in detail, and with all the circumstantiality necessary to an intelligent discussion of even the minutest point. My description of Murphy elicited from him a recollection. He remembered having seen the man once. It was on the Fourth of July. Evelyn and Mrs. Lancaster, Cameron's house- [ keeper, had- accompanied. Gamej-on ip what is called "The Port of Missing Men," a resort for motorists, on the summit of Titlcus mountain. They had lunched there and were returning by a route which took them over a succession of execrable roads, but through some of the most glorious seenery in the whole state of- Connecticut. For a while they had been following a stream, willow-girt, that went babbling down over a rocky bed which at Intervals broke the waters into a series of falls and cascades. At the foot of one of these they had stopped the car and alighted for a better view, and so had come upon the unexpected. Seated upon a great bowlder, his easel planted between the stones of the stream's shallows, was a redheaded, red-bearded Colossus, In a soiled suit of khaki and a monstrous straw hat such as is worn by harvesting farmers. Cameron told me that all three of them made bold to peep over the painter's shoulder at his work, and then, though it was of the most mediocre quality, to shower him with laudatory and congratulatory phrases. "I can fancy how he thanked you," I broke in, smiling. "I suppose he said something very rude." "He said nothing at all. He simply stopped painting, and turning, fixed his eyes upon me. It was as If he saw no other one of us. He seemed to be making a careful appraisement of my every feature. After a moment It grew embarrassing, and though I did not resent it—feeling rather that we, ourselves-had been In the wrong—I very speedily withdrew. To my surprise he rose from his stone seat; and, palette and brush In hand, followed us up the little acclivity to the road, watching in silence,>until we got back Into our Car, and wheeled away." "&)id you gather from his inspection that he recognized you, or thought he recognized you?" I asked. "I gathered only that he meant to be insufferably rude," was Cameron's answer. "And you have never seen him since?" "Never." "He has evidently seen you. He spoke of, the Russian wolf-hounds that go about with you." Cameron made no response. "Well," I added, In a tone meant to be reassuring, "I think we need have little fear of a continuance of this singular method of annoyance. Though we can't trace It directly to Murphy and hia unfortunate. Mongolian, I thoroughly believe that one or (he other was responsible, With the Chinaman dead and Murphy in jail, the persecution will cease, The threat contained in the second letter will never be executed. See if I'm not right!" My hope of putting Cameron at ease, however, was not rewarded. He continued to exhibit tigna of an almost constant apprehension. There was, indeed, a sympathy-stirring pathos about the nervous disquiet of this man, usually so impenetrably self-contained. And at moments, in spite of me, a suspicion gripped and held that he had not been entirely frank; that somewhere in hia past (here was something unrevealed which might serve as a clue, if not an explanation, to the present But these doubts of him were always transitory. • The twenty-first of September fell that year on Monday.' My office demanded my presence, but I arranged affairs as well as possible by telephone and devoted the entire day to Cameron. When I told him 1 meant to do' this he protested, pretending that he was quite without foreboding; while the unconscious tapping of his foot on the rug, even as he spoke, belted his words. We spent the better part of the day golfing over the Apawamla links at Rye, lunching at the club house between rounds, for as a specific for nerves I have ever found that game of rare benefit. In the present in a&ance it more than fulfilled my expectations. Camerom apparently at least, forgot everything save bis o> •Ira to out-drive, out-approach, and out-put me. And when it was over, and with - sharpened appetites wa drove back to Cragbolt for dinner, he appeared stimulated by a new-found The day bad pasted without untoward event, and I felt sure that my 'riend was gradually coming around >o my way of thinking. Neither of us mentioned the subject, but it must have recurred to him, at intervals, as it did to me. And as the hours went by without a sign, the conviction grew that Murphy, with hands tied, was fretting over the coup he'was deterred from compassing. Mrs. Lancaster, whom I have mentioned merely as Cameron's housekeeper, but who was, in addition, a distant kinswoman and acted as a sort of duenna to Evelyn, dined with us that evening, and our little partie carree seemed to me morq than usually merry, owing doubtless to the relaxation .of tho__ strain which both Cameron and I had been under for the past week. It gratified me to see my host so unfeignedly cheerful. I remember how he laughed over Mrs. Lancaster's recital of an incident of the morning. "I had no idea," she said, "that Andrew," referring torthe kennel maBter, "was married. He astonished me when he told me he had a wife and three children. And when I told him he did not look like a married man he seemed rather pleased than otherwise." "It is odd," Cameron returned, "but It seems always to flatter a husband 'o tell him he doesn't look it." And then he laughed as though he had no care on earth. After dinner we had the usual music, and Evelyn sang again that lyric of Baudelaire's, this time in the original French. But the melody brought back to me in vivid vision our chance meeting In the woods and all its train of circumstances. When I had finished applauding, Cameron turned to me. "Do you like Baudelaire?" "I like bis art," I answered, "and his frank artificiality." "He appeals to me," Cameron confessed, "decadent though he is. I have 'read everything he ever wrote, I hink, prose and verse. Did you ever see my copy of his 'Fleurs du Mai'? The casket is worthy of its contents. It is the most exquisitely bound little volume I ever saw. Come, I'll show It to you." I excused myself to Mrs. Lancaster, | an'd~wlth pretended formality bent over Evelyn's hand, brushing it with my lips. "Won't you be back?" she whispered. "I hope so," was my answer. "But I can't promise." "Gh, what a trial it is to have a selfish uncle!" she murmured as I went. Cameron led me through the library, across, the hall, and thence Into his study, where he dove Into a miniature book rack reserved for his favorites. After a moment of fruitless search he said: "It isn't here. How stupid! I took It ifpstairs a week ago, I remember It is in my dressing room. Do you mind coming up?" Did I mind coming up? How glad I was to see him Interested! He was more like the old Cameron than he had been at any lime in the past seven days. My golf prescription had proved even more efficacious than I had dared hope. At the risk of being tedious I must describe Cameron's dressing room. It was not large—probably 20 feet square—with three doors; one on each of the three sides. That which admitted from the passageway faced that which opened into the bath room On the left, the third door connected with Cameron's bedchamber. On the right were two windows, giving upon an outside balcony. Between them was a fire-place. To the left of the bath room door w»s the entrance to a huge closet, guarded by a heavy curtain of old rose velvet. To the right, was a stationary wasb-stand, and above it a rectangular mirror, probably ten Inches wide and a foot leng, and very curiously framed. Across from this, against the wall which divided the room from the passage, was an enormous chiffonier, or chest of drawers. In the room's center was a round table, on which rested a reading lamp. Between the table and the fire-place was a reclining chair. Oth* er chairs, three or four, were variously placed. 1 have given these facts because they are necessary to an Intelligent understanding of what I am about to relate. That tn furnishing and adornment the room was plainly utilitarian Is not so material. But there is one exception to this general declaration which demands to "he specified. The mirror above the wash-stand possessed a distinction quite aside from its practical utility. This was by no means tho first time I had seen It. Cameron had showed It to me, with a. degree of pride, early In our acquaintance, explaining that It was at once a relic and an heirloom. Originally the property of Nell Gwynne, It bad descended to him through The glass was framed in colored beadwork, to which were attached wax figures in highsrellef: at the top, a miniature portrait of Charles n. in his state robes; at the bottom, one of Nell herself, in court dress. The king appeared also on the right, in hunting costume, and on the left was snother figure of his favorite in less ornamental garb. According to tho legend which accompanied this In- •.eresting antique, it was Nell Gwynne's own handiwork. It possessed for me a certain fascinatlon due more to its history than its beauty, for it was not the most artistic of creations, and as Cameron poked about for his Baudelaire. I stood gazing at the glass and thitfk- Ing of all I had ever read of the illiterate, but saucy, sprightly actress whose sole claim to fame hung on her winning the favor of that easy-going, royal hypocrite, Charles II. "Here's the binding!" I heard Cameron Bay, and -turned- from the mirror to the table, where he had found his sought-for treasure beneath a pile of heavier, grosser works. "You know something of bookbinding," he went on, with enthusiasm. "Now examine \hat carefully, and tell me if you ever saw anything more exquisite. I had It done in London, last year. It's a copy of one of Le Gascon's." At first sight it seemed all glittering gold, but on closer inspection I found that the groundwork was bright red morocco, inlaid with buff, olive, and marble leather, the spaces closely filled with very delicate and beautiful polntille traceries,' It was a veritable gem in its way, and I could not blame Cameron for his raptures. When I had applauded and bepraised to his content, he took the little volume from my hand and opening it, with a sort of slow reverence, observed with something like patronism: "I'm afraid you don't quite understand Baudelaire." "Does anybody?" I flung back. "He is not so obBcure as his critics would have us believe," Cameron asserted. "Sit down in that lounging chair a moment, and I'll read you something." And as 1 obeyed, he drew up a chair for himself, speaking all the while in denunciation of Tolstoi and the injustice of his criticism. One poem after another he read, while I lay back listening. To his credit he read them well, though be paused often in mid-verse to explain what he thought I might regard as an affectation or, as Tolstoi has put it, "an Intentional obscurity." There was one verse which Impressed me particularly as he read it, and remained with me for a long while afterward, for, in view of everything, It seemed to have a special apposltiV€ ne88. The lines to which I refer have been translated in this way: From Heaven's htj?h balconies See! In their threadbare robca the dead yenrs cast their eyes, And from the depths below regret's wan smile uppcara. Cameron sat with his back to the door leading to the passageway, and facing, diagonally, across the table, the Nell Gwynne mirror.. My own gaze was on him as he read. .As he finished thja verse, a portion of which I have quoted, he lifted his eyes, I thought to meet mine, but his look rose over my head, and clung, while his lids widened, and Into every line of his face there came a rigid, startled expression, half amazement, half horror And In that instant af tense silence the "Fleurs du Mai" •lipped from his nerveless fingers, struck the table edge, and dropped with unseemly echo to the floor. In a breath I was on my feet and staring where his vision had foc'ussed. ! hardly know what I expected to sea. I am sure nothing would have surprised me. And yet I was scarcely prepared for the, Inexplicable ruin which my sight encountered. The glass of the Nell Gwynne mirror was In atoms. Cameron rose, a little unsteadily I thought, and coming around the table, joined me In closer Inspection of bis wrecked hereditament. I can find no word adequate to the description of what we experienced. Amazement and all its synonyms are far too feeble for the task. We were certain* ly more than appalled. What we saw suggested to me spontaneous disintegration. If such a thing were possible, which 1 believe it is not. It might have explained the condition of the mirror. No other ascription seemed admissible; for, though the glass remained In its frame not so much as a splinter having been dropped, it was fractured into a thousand tiny pieces, resembling a crystal mosaic, Incapable of any bat the most minute reflections.

They were not cigars—not anything that one might expect to And in a cigar box; they were queer little rings and toys of thin beaten gold, rough green stones, dulled circles of goldenbrown amber. The man took them out of the box and held them in his hand. "El Dorado," he said softly, "El Dorado, after centuries. The gifts of the golden man. The treasure of the sacred lake." Out of the Indian legends of centuries ago, the wonder-tales of the Spaniards In the New World. the man with the cigar box explained, had come these strange bits of gold and precious stones. Modern enterprise is discovering the lost treasure of a South American superstition. The sac r e d lake of El Dorado, the water of Guatavlta into which Andean tribes threw their riches to appease their gods, haB been drained; here are some of Its treasures. Hartley Knowles, the man with the cigar box, is an English engineer who has made the excavations and has now brought some of the things t o America, He sayB himself that they are all exceedingly valuable as antiques, and, intrinsically, as gold and gems. One of the Americans t o whom Mr. Knowles has showed his treasures adds that the excavation of the sacred lake of the Andes brings with it a possibility that the excavator has apparently not thought of in discoveries as to the lives of prehistoric peoples and In civilization of prehistoric times. The story that lured a modern Englishman to South America, and Is interesting American collectors in South American discoveries, is the s a m e story that four and a half centuries ago called the Spanish adventurers to conquest In t h e unknown western world. It 1B the story of El Dorado. It Is a tale that moat of UB have heard long ago, and long ago forgotten. It is t h e legend of the holy lake. Upon the original story of the sacred lakes of t h e Chlbcha tribes in the northern part of South America innumerable myths have been built. The «arly tales themselves are well-nigh shrouded in xnyBtery and Bomewhat obscured by legend. Yet t h e story of El Dorado has Its historical foundation, and the tale of the sacred lake of Guatavlta, or Guatablta, Is accredited by historians to- <1ay. Much of the wonder-tale of El Dorado as t h e Spaniards and their followers built it on t h e first substructure Is probably untrue. But t h e story of the lake, BO far as historians have been able to ascertain, is a bit of real history— t h e tale of a people and their sacrifices, the record of wealth thrown away in a religious ceremonial as an offering to the gods, the true story of an ancient superstition. According to the legends told by travelers and t h e facts set down by historians, the Andean tribeB of the Chlbcha venerated the mountain lakes of their province, and into them threw t h e i r jewels. Great feasts and great fastings, the accessions of rulers, the celebration of a pllgirmage, the prayer for the tribe's good fortune— these were all accompanied by gifts of the nods; t h e gifts were thrown into the lake. Of these mountain lakes Guatavlta was the largest and moat important; here most of the feasts were beid, the; offerings made to the gods. And here «2cavators and engineers have gone from England with the latest dredges and engines and set u p modern apparatus to drain the lake. i The lake is drained now as nearly dry as the e&oavators dare to make it. Quantities of pott e t y , gold' and precious stones have been taken o u t . ' T h e excavations are still going on, and it If believe* that the discoveries have only begun. Vhrloua attempts have been made, in the last fijo* centuries, to find the treasure of Chlbcha p t e i ^ ; 1 h i » latest effort is proving successful. ' ft 'ttljmld lay that the gold and gems already tAkjjbV/rom the lake bottom amount to about ffioioi,V Mid Mr Knowles. "How much there • V l t f t ? shouldn't dare to gay.

But, according to the stories, the bottom of the lake is where the richest treasures are." We have most of us heard in our childhood that t h e Spaniards of the sixteenth century dreamed of -El Dorado," the land of gold, and that they sougfit-for It in strange and savage and ever hopeful ways among strange and savage peoples. We have read how the lust of gold seized the adventurers of Spain, and they pressed into the wilderness and found and conquered more and more land without ever finding the land of gold. But, as a matter of fact, the Spanlsft-- explorers did find El Dorado.. Only El Dorado was not the land of gold; it was the golden man. And the treasure of the golden man's gift was not a treasure that could be found on the land; it lay at the bottom of a lake, and the Spaniards could not drain it. The story of the real El Dorado is the story of the religious festivals of the Chlbchas. The tribes of the Chlbchas, according to recent historians, occupied the plateau region of the northeastern province of Colombia, and were among the richest, the most magnificent, and the most enlightened of South American tribes. In their wealth, their barbaric splendor, and their handicrafts, they ranked with the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru. Their land was rich in emeralds. Gold they procured in great quantities from their immediate neighbors. Rich textiles and dyed cotton stuffs, as well as the feathers of beautiful birds, added to the wealth and their magnificence. Amber they obtained from their neighbors, and apparently from the other side of the world they procured in some unknown manner some quantity of Jade. Savage, uncontrolled in their indulgence of the arts of pleasure that they had cultivated even more eagerly than the arts of war, they were yet a thoroughly religious people. Their helrarchy of gods and goddesses had passed beyond the simple worship of the forces of nature and Included definite deities with definite powers —deities to be propitiated. Occasionally they offered up human beings to their gods; often they sacrificed talking parrots to avert calamity. But for the most part they gave their possessions to their deities, and worshipped, with barbaric wealth of sacrifice, at the sacred lakes. There were five of these lakes in the district that we now know as Colombia—Guatavlta, Guasca, Siecha, Teusaca, and Uhaque; of the five, Guatavlta was by far the most important, Ubaque being its nearest rival. The people made pilgrimages to all the lakes, but to Guatavlta most of all, and with the richest gifts. And it was at the lake of Guatavlta that the great ceremony of the Chlbcha tribes took place—the Installation of the chief. Guatavlta was the most imnortant center of the Chlbchas, the religious "capital" of the tribe. The chief who came to his kingdom with sacrifices to the holy water of the plateau was an absolute monarch, whose power rested largely on the assumption that he was seml-dlvine. No subject dared look his leader in the face, but in the royal presence turned aside or assumed a stooping attitude. No messenger might approach the chief without bearing a gift, not to win the royal favor, but merely to do homage to the royal state. Over every detail of his subjects' lives he ruled, and if a man of Guatavita wished to alter the style of his dress he must ask his leader's permission and receive the new garment from the royal hand. In his "South American Archaeology" T. Athol Joyce of the British Museum describes the stato of the Zlpa of Bogota: "His garments were of the finest cotton, his throne was of gold studded with emeralds, and he traveled in a litter hung with golden plates. His headdress was of gold, and a golden crescent ornamented his brow; nose and ear ornaments were of the same material, and also the breastplate he wore upon his chest." For five years or more before a Chlbcha chief became his people's ruler he must remain In seclusion, preparatory to the great ceremony of the lake. At the end of his rigorous period of probation—for It was also a period of stern selfdenial— the chief's nose and ears were pierced for the ornaments of his rank, and he made golden offerings to the gods. Professor Joyce, who in his book describes tho ceremonies of the sacred lake as historically attested facta, quotes from the history of the conquest and discovery of New Granada, by Jam ftodrlgues Fresle, written in 1636: "Not only was the ceremonial of Guatavita par ticularly elaborate, but it gave rise to the stories of El Dorado which so fired the imagination of the early conquerors and gave such an impetus to the exploration of the interior. According to Presle, the population of the neighborhood repaired to the sacred lake of Guatavita clad In their finest ornaments of gold and feathers. Innumerable sacrificial fires were kindled on the banks, and the lake was encircled with a cloud of incense. The ruler-elect was divested of his garments, anointed with an adhesive earth, and powdered with gold dust. Attended by his four principal sub-chiefs he embarked upon a reed raft ornamented with gold dust and furnished with four braziers for incense; at his feet was piled a mound of gold and emeralds, and amid the shouts of the multitude and the sound of whistles and other instruments he proceeded to the middle of the lake. There he plunged into the waters and washed off the offerings of gold dust, and the gold and emeralds were thrown in at the same timer the four chiefs making offerings on their own account. The raft then returned and the proceedings terminated with the revelry arnd chlcha drinking so dear to the heart of the Colombians." The chief with his gold-dust coat was in reality "El Dorado," the golden man of Spanish legend and Indian history. Splendid as were the ceremonies attending the consecration of the tribal chief at Guatavita, or GUatabita, as Professor Joyce calls it, the national pilgrimages and feasts were still more important. TheBe pilgrimages were made periodically to all the chief lakes of the country. The northern Chlbcha honored Guatavita almost exclusively, while the southern tribes paid their religions homage at Ubaque, south of Bogota. While the chiefs and nobles were throwing their gold and jewels into the sacred waters, the common people were burying theirs by the' side of the lake or in secret places not far removed from the holy waters. Many curious bits of pottery have been recovered from the neighborhood of the lake of Guatavita. When Mr. Knowles came to America a short time ago he brought with him many of the treasures that he had taken from the sacred lake. Most of the pieces are small. Whatever may be their value as ancient pieces of handicraft, the emeralds are undoubtedly the richest "finds" in intrinsic worth. M. de la Kier of the Royal Institute of Paris is quoted as estimating the probable value of the articles in the lake at several million English pounds. But such estimates are, of course, guesses. The bottom of the lake has not yet been reached, and is still in a semi-liquid muddy state. It is believed that the articles taken out to date were thrown or buried in the sides of the lake and have been, in the ages since, carried toward the center by the pressure of the mud. The number of pottery vessels found seems to substantiate this view. The work done by Mr. Knowles' company— which is Incorporated in London under the name of "Contractors, Limited"—is but the final link in a long chain of explorations that stretches from the times of the Spaniards down to tho present day. In 1562 Antonio de Sepulveda of Santa Pe de Bogota lowered the waters of the lake to fifteen feet, or thereabout, and is said to have taken out great quantities of gold and an emerald of rare beauty. Sepulveda had made his attempt by digging a trench, and before the work could be finished the sides of the trench caved in, and the waters began to riee again. During the three centuries that followed several attempts to drain the lake, always by means of trenches cut from above, were made and failed. ~ In 1897 a small company of native engineers was formed and three years later sold out its rights to Hartley Knowles and his company. "I had read about the legends of the golden man." said Mr. Knowles. who stands sponsor for the foregoing history of the attempts to drain the lake, "and, being an engineer, I thought I Bhould like to have a try. I have been working at it for twelve years. The lake is drained as dry as I want It; if it is completely drained the mud at the bottom may solidify, and we do not want that. What we are after now is to dig down to what was the bottom of the lake 450 yeara ago The present bottom is, of course, a, sediment of years. The lake is cup-shaped. It la about 10,000 feet above sea level in the Colombian Andes. It took four yeara to drain the lake. Now we are excavating. "The government of Colombia has been moat kind In letting us make the excavations and take out the things^, Of course the interest that attaches to the treasure it for aniquadans museums and collectors."

Githers paused in the doorway, the picture of .amazed prot^Bt. l a ,ono hand he held the evening paper and a magazine, and in the other a cigar. On his feet were slippers, around hia form was a smoking jacket. A straight line drawn to the nearest object from him would have ended at the easy chair comfortably turned upward toward the electric lamp on the table. It was a chair that Githers had sat in after dinner for more evenings than he could count. "Why," he repeated, 'can't I go in there and read? What do you mean, mother?" Mrs. Githers approached him and picked a thread off his sleave. "Wouldn't you just as soon sit upstairs with me?" she asked brightly. "I'm going to sew." "What of it?" demanded her husband. 'Don't you usually sew downstairs hero? Don't we always sit downstairs? Why " "My goodness, John!" exclaimed his wife impatiently. "Wouldn't you like a change?" "Elmira," said Cithers, firmly, "you're hiding something—tell me at once!" "Simply nothing," said his wife.. "Only Grace is going to have a caller this evening and I wanted to let the child have the living room—oh, its one of the boys in her class and it's all right, so you needn't glare. She's seventeen and must have friends among the boys as other girls do. Not that she wouldn't just as soon have us there, but we'd embarrass them!" "What the dickens!" growled Githers^ turning-towardthe stairs- "Pret* ty state of things when I can't use my own chair! Callers at her age! Umph!" Mrs. Githers got him nicely arranged in her room and as she reached for the mending basket she paused, hand in air. The front door had slammed and a vast whistling heralded the entrance of the son and heir of the household. Mrs. Githers went and leaned over the banisters. "Rob!" she called In dulcet tones. "Hullo!" came the inquiring answer. "Where are you? Where is everybody Who's sick?" "Come up," said his mother. "Wouldn't you like to sit up here with father and me?" she wheeled as he arrived at the door. "Here's a nice comfortable chair and—" "What's the matter with the living room?" he demanded in amazement. "Why—" Mrs. Githers sighed. "I never saw such stupid men folks!" she declared. "Why can't you do things without having them all explained. I'd like to know? Grace has a caller coming and—" "Whoopee-e-e!" shouted Grace's brother, making a dart for her door. "Who's your beau, si's? Who've you got a crush on—" "Mother!" came Grace's indignant voice. "Make Bob stop! I think he's perfectly horrid! I haven't got a' crush on anybody and you know it, Bob Githers, and I perfectly hate you, so there now!" "Children!" cried Mrs. Githers. "I'm surprised at both of you. Stop it at once!" "Well, I'd like a look at the chump who's so important that I'm barred out of my happy home," protested her son. "Gee! There isn't anything to do up here! I'm going out!" "No, please don't!" urged his distracted mother. "I'll read out loud to you and dad!" "Mother!" called her daughter, frantically. "Come and tell me how my hair looks." Left to themselves Githers and his son stared dismally at each other. "Some doings, eh?" queried young Githers. "Tommyrot, I call it! Will sis be doing this every night forever'n ever till she's married off? I'm going to move if she does!" "This chair," said his father irritably, "was built for a boa constrictor, not a man. And where are the matches?" Mrs. Githers came back and Grace floated downstairs. She played a piece on the piano exactly as though she expected no one and then she wolked about. The men folks fidgeted. Then the telephone rang. Presently Grace called dolefully upstairs: "Tom can't come! He's got an awful cold! Isn't thatvhor-r-id!'» Githers and his son reached the bottom of the stalrB simultaneously. "My but I'm sorry for Tom!" said Githers as he grabbed the easy chair.

Coffee and tea drinking being such an ancient and respectable form of habit, few realize that the drug—caffeine— contained in coffee and tea, 1» one of the principal causes of dyspepsia and nervous troubles. Without their usual portion of coffee or tea, the caffeine topers are nervous, irritable and fretful. That's the way with a-whisky drinker. H e has got to have hie dram "to settle his nerves"—habit ~ To leave off coffee or tea is an easy matter if you want to try it, because Postum gives a gentle . but natural support to the nerves and does not contain any drag—nothing but food. Physicians know this to be true* a s one from Ga. writes: "I have cured myself of a longstanding case of Nervous Dyspepsia by leaving off coffee and using Postum," says the doctor. "I also enjoy refreshing sleep, to which I've been an u t t e r stranger for 20 years. "In treating dyspepsia in its various types, I find little trouble when I can induce patients to quit coffee and adopt Postum." The Dr. is right and "there's a reason." Read the little hook, "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. Postum now comes in concentrated* powder form called Instant Postum. It is prepared by stirring a level tea* spoonful In a cup of hot water, adding sugar to taste, and enough cream t o bring the color to golden brown. Instant Postum la convenient; there's no waste; and the flavour la always uniform.

" HAIR CAME OUT IN BUNCHES 813 E. Second St., Muncie, Iud.—"My little girl had a bad breaking out on the scalp. It was little white lumps. The pimples would break out as large as a common pinhead all over her head. They would break and run yellow matter. She suffered nearly a year with itching and burning. It was sor© and itched all tho time. The matter that ran from her head was very thick. I did not comb her hair very often, her head was too sore to comb it, and when I did comb, it came out In bunches. Some nights her head itched BO bad she could not sleep. "I tried several different soaps and ointments, also patent medicine, but nothing could I get to stop it. I beganusing Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment this summer after I sent for the free samples. I used them and they did so much good I bought a cak© of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment. I washed her head with Cuticura Soap and rubbed the Cuticura Ointment in th© scalp every two weeks. A week after I had washed her head three times you could not tell she ever had a breaking out on her head. Cuticura Soap and Ointment also mad© the hair grow beautifully."

Often before a sufferer realizes what the trouble is, he is on the verge of • complete nervous breakdown. It is of the utmost importance t o keep your nervous system in j?ood condition, as the nerves are the source of all bodily power. Mrs. A n n * Kounz, 2ir Mechanic St., Pueblo, Colo., says: "For many years I suffered from nervous prostration; I w a s unable to do any house work and doctors failed t o help me. Remedies I tried from druggists did n o t d o me a particle of good. A neighbor told m y husband about Dr. Miles' Nervine and he procured a bottle. After th« first few doses I showed a marked improvement and aiter taking two bottles I was entirely cured, 1 hav« been perfectly well for years *nd cannot praise Dr. Miles Nervine too highly." If you arc troubled with loss flf appetite, poor digestion, weaknesW> inability to sleep; if you are in "§?• general run down condition ana unable to bear your part of tht daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what i9 the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment.

The nu.nber of people in this country who are becoming addicted to the different phases of what is known as t h e drug habit iB so numerous as to excite alarm. Years ago the victims of drugs were confined to consumers of opium or morphine, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin. Now there is a considerable variety of habit-forming drugs, with cocaine at the head of the }ust. At first It was hailed for its usefulness as a local anesthetic. Now it is dreaded for the number of men and women who have fallen under its eway, and whom it reduces to a condition of moral Irresponsibility. Many —probably nearly all—of the victims of cocaine and other habit-forming drugs use them at first for medicine. They are prescribed by physicians to allay pain. The hideous evils that follow slavery to these drugs rarely are dreamed of by those who use them, until after their use has become a htbit, and then the damage is done— for drr • habits, once formed, are inconceivably difficult to break. These drugs shatter the nervous system and blunt the moral faculties and predispose their slaves to crime. No wonder that physicians and officials charged with the administration of the criminal.laws._are banding together to check the sale and use of these insidiousdestroyers of health and morals. FERDINAND FOLLOWING HIS ARMY As our manners improve, have our children as good manners as our fathers or grandfathers had? We do not mean by good manners what the newer term social etiquette implies. Among the so-called Bocial Bets we find changing codes which direct the form of handshaking, modes of expression In meeting people, repetition of useless "don't you knows" in conversation, ability to select from multiform knives, forks and spoons for t h e multiform courses at luncheon and dinner, says the Knoxvllle Journal and Times. We can detect no purpose In theBe flippant forms of fashion excepting as the knowledge is a badge of •fellowship. And there seems to be much Btrlving to get within the circle. But these mannerisms are not good manners. The essence of good manners is kindness and courtesy. They extend below the surface deep into the character. A person habitually polite is one who has transformed into conduct the habit of thinking of others. They are apostleB of good cheer, being unwilling to cause embarrassment or chagrin to either their social confreres or the lowliest person they meet. They pay the waiter for the privilege of being Berved at all, after paying the head waiter to get a table if the restaurant is full. They pay to have their hat and coat kept for them during the meal, pay for getting a taxicab, and after it Is over and pay ,the chauffeur for the privilege of riding home with him In a cab for which the company has had to pay the hotel license fee for the right to use the public streets, says the New York "World. Prom the time they enter a restaurant until after they have left It they are subjected to numerous direct taxes, in addition to the indirect taxes imposed for music and marble corridors, which are but ill-disguised in the exorbitant prices charged for the food. Why should not the Hotel association round out the system of petty extortion by charging for admission? If, as reported, the sultan of Turkey sent a bag of millet seed to the kins of Bulgaria to show his numerical strength, and the king of Bulgaria sent back a bag of pepper seeds to show the style of opposition, the incident typifies the struggle between quantity and Quality which has had but one result since the world began. Mere brute strength and number no longer count in the great contests of the world. The little Irish cow has proved a priM winner at the National Dairy Show in Chicago.

A tentative peace agreement between Turkey and the Balkan allies has been reached. The armistice iiccordinK to an official announcement, paves the way for final peace terms. The new armistice will be general and will brinK about a cessation of hostilities throughout European Turkey. Final negotiations will be carried out on the same basis as that of the armistice. « (J rand Vivnier Klamil Pasha announced the armistice, but did not reveal the terms, lie intimated, however, that they were much better than the original terms imposed by Bulgaria on Turkey. May Pass "Blue Sky Law." A "blue sky law," adapted from a measure now in force in Kansas, will be presented in the Michigan legislature this winter. The bill, which is for ike purpose of protecting the investor from putting money in concerns organized for the principal purpose of belling stock, was favorably considered at the national convention of insurance commissioners at Spokane, Wash.,, last July. At the adjfl.urn.ed convention, which will be held in New ^ork next week, it will be refined and, to some extent, modified. It is proposed to introduce the measure in every legislature in the country through the insurance commissioners of the various states. C".

LABOR LEADERS ACQUITTED Justice Goff, in the criminal branch of the supreme, court, in New York, sentenced Whitey Lewis, Dago Frank, Lefty Louie and Gyp the Blood, the four gunmen convicted of the actual killing of Herman Rosenthal, gambler, to be electrocuted in Sing Sing prison during the week beginning Jan. G. Sheriff Julius Harburger preceded the quartet into court. He had on a long overcoat, with a big revolver in each pocket. From the time he entered the room until the door closed behind him as he followed the last of the four condemned men back to the Tombs, his grip never left the pistols. Hut there was no apparent need for the display, as nothing interfered with the proceedings. None of the men showed the slightest emotion. Dago Frank was the only one to say good bye to counsel, shaking hands with Wahle before he was led out of the court room. It iB expected that a formal notice of appeal, which will automatically act as a stay, will be filed within 10 days. Ettor, Giovannitti and Caruso Freed in Salem, Mass. Joseph J.

According to the instructions to the jury neither Ettor nor Giovanniti could have been found guilty of murder in the first degr.ee. They were accused by the state of arousing a murderous frenzy by their speeches- which resulted in the mill woman's death. So intricate were the chief threads of the case that labor leaders who had been following it declared a verdict of guilty would have established a precedent which would make effective labor strikes in the future an impossibility. When the men heard the words freeing them from the charge, they embraced and kissed each other in the prisnoners' cage. An English woman left $500 in her will to another woman for smiling fleaaaatly at her aa they left church. Such a bequest does more for the sunshine habit than any amount of mere talk. Death's Toll of Deer Season Is 17, The hunting season which closed at midnight, tomorrow, has cost the lives of 17 hunters in northern Michigan and half a hundred hunters bodily injuries, one or two of whom may die. Fewer are reported killed this year than last, however, due to fewer hunterB in the woods, because of the lack of tracking snow until the last three days. Northern Michigan sportsmen want the season extended three or four months or longer, so- fewer hunters will go into the woods at once, and also have each hunter restricted to one deer. Legislate to protect human life as well as the game is the cry. Detroit Aldermen to Be Tried in Mt. Clemens. Circuit Judge James G. Tucker, of Mt.

Alleging frauds and irregularities of many kinds, Wayne county suffrage leaders Saturday morning filed application for a recount of the recent vote by which the county went about 12,000 against the constitutional amendment and thus apparently defeated the proposition in the state at large by a majority of about 700. According to the attorney general's ruling in the Saginaw case there is no statute distinctly providing for recount of constitutional amendments. He does not say that it can be done legally, but infers that courts will probably pass upon the matter. ^ J M B » ..society leader who proposes i#u& dog shall be eaten as a relief ffWA ttt« Wgb cost of meat, should te- 4ltt M i n example.

Telegraphic Communication Is Cut Off i n d Details of the Catastrophe Are Meager—Enormous Damage. That 15,000 people were killed and wounded in a Typhoon that swept the Philippine Islands was reported in cable dispatches to the bureau of insular affairb. News of the catastrophe came in a dispatch from the governor general of the Philippines. No figures of the dead or injured were given, but it was stated that probably half the population of two cities had been lost. The typhoon swept the Visayas Islands and is said to have practically destroyed '1 acloban, the capital of Leyte, on the northeast coast of the island, ana to have wrought enormous damage a n l loss of life at Capiz, the capital of the province of Capiz. Leyte has a population of 14,000. Capiz has a population T>t over 20,- \ 000._Capiz is the terminal of the rail road from Iloilo.It is a most import- j ant. sugar point. The dispatch containing information of the typhoon was sent Thursday. The governor general informed the department that he was rushing ? shipload of food and clothing and all available medical supplies to Tacloban. All telegraphic communication has been destroyed and it is impossible to get other Lhan vague reports of the extent of the destruction. That Tacloban has suffered an enormous loss of life is certain. The scene of the disaster is just ncrth of the destructive typhoon which swept the Cisayan Islands on Oct. 15, inflicting a heavy toll. Following receipt of the dispatch announcing t i e heavy casualties in the Visayas, the Red Cross prepared to uish a rellei fund to the governor general.

CHAPTER Ml—(Continued). "There are two ways of looking at It," I replied, my eyes fixed on the canvas and its perforations. "At first glance It does seem spiteful; but then there la a chance that it is not iconoclasm, after all. It may he, you know, just the reverse. I have not infrequently seen portraits that were so unjust to the originals that they fairly cried out for destruction." "But this is not one l i k e t h a t , " she retorted. "This seems to me a very good portrait. I am sure "Uncle Robert must have looked exactly like it, ten years ago." "Alas, we do not all. see with the same eyes," I assured her, smiling, "The destroyer may have looked on it as a caricature, not having your cultured taste in art." I held it off at arm's length, and after regarding it critically for a moment between halfclosed lids, I continued, "Do you think you could point out the identical tree to which it waB nailed?" "I could try," was her answer. "Is it far?" "Not very. A mile, from here, possibly. Over the ridge." "Near anything in particular?" "Near the trail which leads up from the trout stream to the entrance drive not far from the- Lodge.'* "When will you take me there?" I asked. For Just an instant she hesitated. "We might go now," she replied, "if it weren't that I am expecting Cella Alnslee for luncheon. Suppose we say five o'clock. You can meet me at the Lodge. It's a short walk from there." "Pine!" I approved, thrusting the portrait head beneath my arm and taking possession of both her whitegloved hands. Slender and shapely handB, yet wonderfully capable. "Good-byl" she cried, laughing. "Take care of my uncle!" with a glance towardB her punctured And. "Good-by!" I returned, releasing her. "Your uncle shall have my most faithful concern." The real significance of the words she, of course, did not comprehend. But as I stood watching her until a turn in the path enfolded her from my sight, their echo, ringing in my ears, impressed me with their pregnancy. Her uncle was evidently the focal point of a crafty and vengeful conspiracy, the seriousness of which I bad been foolishly endeavoring to minimize; and as such he was in nted, not only of my concern, but of all the loyal, energetic, and efficient aid of which I was capable. J Y \ t ) m. m£, > CHAPTER IV. The Chinese Servant. Four o'clock found me rapping at Ih© door of Cragholt Lodge. Consld- «ring that it was built thirty-five years ago by one of the Townsbury family who probably read English novels but had never been nearer to England than Coney Island, it possessed a surprising plcturesqueness; due in large part to its covering of dark English ivy. I had anticipated my appointment Witt) Evelyn by * full hour; for I wished to question old Romney, the lodge keeper; and the questions were not for milady's ear. He opened to me promptly, in person, this odd, rugged old man, with his seamed brow and great shock of irorf-gray hair and beard. He was in his shirt sleeves, but on seeing me he reached for his coat, which hung on a peg beside the door. "Never mind the coat, Romney," I said, "don't make yourself uncomfortable on my account. It's a warm * afternoon." "It is warmish, sir," he assented; but despite my protest he was thrusting his arm into the cdat sleeves. "It's been an uncommon hot September. Won't you step inside, sir?" He knew his place too well to Indicate* any surprise at my visit; yet I felt he mnst be curious over an event to*unusuaL "I have an inquiry or two to make, Romney," I told him, as, accepting h i t suggestion, I stepped into his coty, old-fashioned sitting room. "I heard some shooting over this way tfeta morning, and I've been wondering whether the game laws weren't being* broken." He plaeed a cushioned /rockingcTiaJr tor me, and I sat down. "Now <Wd you hear that, too, Mr. CfytieT' bU atked, brightening, as he W t t e d against the low sill of one of **r- daintily curtsfnad windows. * T * M 4 i b 6 i i t t m o*ck>cfc, «trr « little sfstv, vaybt. I wa« doin' * bit of ru-*--^ trlmmin' on the hedge outside, sir, when them same shots set mo a-thlnkin' that very thing. An' right away, sir, I says to myself, says I, 'It's that Chink what Just went up to the house to borrow a rifle.' " "That Chink?" I repeated, puzzled. "Yes, sir. Yellow Chinese boy, sir. He works for Mi» Murphy, the artist, what has the bungalow, down on the shore near Cos Cob. About half an hour before that he tomes by here on his way up to the house. 'What's wantin'?' I asks. 'Mistle Mulfy,' he says, 'wantee bollow lifle, shootee weasel, stealee chickee.' 'All right,' I tells him, and away he goes. So, you see, sir, when I hears the shots-1 thinks right away that Mr. Murphy's Chink is tryln' his 'hollowed line* on some of Mr. Cameron's pheasants, maybe. But 15 minutes later, along comes John again, with an innocent grin on his face, the rifle over his shoulder, and his hands empty as' air. _We_H, to be sure, I_ stops him, sir. 'You been shootin' In the woods?' I asks. 'No shootee/ he grins back. 'Me no shootee.' Then, sir, I swears at him, good and hearty, and calls him what he la. But all he can say is, 'No lie; me no shootee.' Then I asks him if he didn't hear a gun go off. 'Gun?' he says, as if he didn't know what gun meant. 'Lifle,' I explains. 'Yes, yes/ says he, 'me hear lifle shootee. Not my lifle.' *Whose lifle?' I asks him. 'Man with lifle, up load/ he says, pointing back. An' that was all I could get out of him, sir." I should have been amused, I suppose, by old Romney's recital. It was certainly very graphic, and hiB imitation of the Chinaman was histrionically artistic—I fear the stage missed a comedian of merit when Romney took to lodge-keeping—bdt at the flrst mention, of the oriental, I had pricked ray ears, and throughout the narration my mind was busy with those strangely worded letters of Cameron's and those still stranger blots which looked one way like a Chinese junk and the other way like a coolie in a straw helmet. The possibility of a connection, especially in view of the rifle and the perforated painting, seemed to me the reverse of remote. And yet I could hardly reconcile the notion of this apparently ignorant Mongolian being in any wise interested in bringing disaster upon a person so far removed from him In every way as was Cameron; much less in evolving or taking part in such a crafty plot as everything we had thus far learned of it Indicated this to be. My questioning of Romney shed very little new light on the subject. He had seen the Chinaman pass the Lodge on several occasions; he had rarely entered the grounds, however. I tried to ascertain what his "rarely" meant, and finally got him to say that in the past six months, "John," as he calted him, had visited Cragholt, on one pretext or another, possibly three or four times. But Romney's memory for dates was exceedingly feeble. He could not recollect whether one of those times was on or about the twenty-first of August. He was equally at a loss concerning the fourteenth of August and the fourteenth of September. "What do you know of this artist, Murphy, who employs John?" I asked. "Not much, sir," was his answer. "They do say as he Is rather eccentric, sir. He and the Chink lives alone there in the bungalow, summer and winter. He's a big red-headed and bearded fellow, sir. I did hear a story as to him gettin' into a fight up at Garrison's hotel in Greenwich village, and nearly killin' three young watermen near as big as himself." "Has he lived here long?" "Goin' on two years, now, sir." "He paints and sells pictures, I suppose •>,> "Maybe, Bir. I never sees any, though. But they calls him an artist, sir." I determined to visit Murphy on the pretext of purchasing some of his work, and in this manner learn, If possible, something more of his celestial servitor. "Of course you didn't see any one else with a rifle, today?" I asked, in conclusion. "The 'man with lifle up load' didn't materialize?" "No, sir. Not another soul, sir. I asked some of the boys—them as has charge of the deer in the preserve, over the way the shootin' sounded. But they hadn't seen no one, either, sir. Though they did hear the shots." I thanked Romney for his Interest —he knew I was one of the state game wardens—and admonished him to keep his own counsel as to my visit, leaving the impression with him that I wished to round up the culprit, and feared if my activity in the matter were scented my prey would be put on his guard and thus escape me. It still lacked twenty minutes of the hour of my appointment with fSreiytt when i issued from the Lodge, *q4 to occupy the time I entered the wide gateway between the great stone pillars with their heraldic shields, and sauntered leisurely along the smooth macadam drive, bordered by sentinel elms. My thoughts were busy with the new line of conjecture which Romney had unconsciously opened up for me. I wondered whether by any possibility this eccentric painter, Murphy, could be personally involved. Was Cameron acquainted with him? ' Had they ever quarrelled? From what Romney had told me of the affair at Garrison's the artist was evidently of a bellicose disposition. He had come here two years ago. Cameron had cm-necr Cragholt less than a yervr. Perhaps at the time he was preparing the mansion for occupancy he had offended the too sensitive Murphy, who—I was letting my imagination run free—may have wished to take a hand at the new decoration. It would probably be well for me to see Cameron before seeing the artist. The involutions of "my""ftypot-h-etieal train led me, I fear, into many monstrously preposterous conceits; yet, as subsequent events proved, the cogitation in which I indulged on that afternoon walk was not wholly idle. Although the working out was along lines which I waB then far from, foreseeing, It was curious, in looking back, to observe how very closely, collaterally, even at that stage, I came to the truth. In the midst of my revery, the rhythm of horse's hoofs on the drive awoke me to time and place. And as I raised my eyes, I saw, still some distance away, but bearing down upon me at a swift single-foot, the girlish figure of Evelyn Grayson, in white waist and gray habit, mounted on Prince Charley, a buckskin cayuse, which for saddle purposes she preferred to all the thoroughbreds in the Cameron stables. "Am I late?" she cried, reining the wiry little animal to a stand beside me. "Celia Ainslee just left. She was expecting the LentilhonB to stop for her in their motor boat, but they broke down and were delayed, and instead of coming at three o'clock, it was half-past four before they landed." "I fancy you are Just on the minute," was my response, as I consulted my timepiece. "But I'm still a mile from the Lodge," she argued. "And all the nearer to the trail," I condoned. "It must be somewhere about here, isn't it?" "You've passed it. It's just beyond that next bend." And she pointed over my shoulder. "Why didn't> you bring a groom with you to hold your steed?" I asked, smiling. "You, don't expect to ride Prince Charley Into the forest fastnesses, do you?" "I could," she answered, promptly. "I will, if you dare me. He can pick his way like a cat. But it isn't necessary. He'll stand forever, the dear thing, If I drop the bridle rein over his head." My preference was to have her on foot at my side, and BO I did not dare her. And thus it chanced that we left the homely little animal standing with drooping head and dangling rein on the shadowed side of Jhe driveway, and went off together down the narrow, slow-descending trail, the girl in the lead. The slanting sunlight, shooting Its golden arrows in intermittent volleys through the tree tops, made target of her hair, as we passed, scoring brilliant flashes of burnished bronze. Her hat, a broad-brimmed sailor ef coarse straw, was but a poor shield for that shimmering, tawny coil which lay low on her neck, and the darting rays had their will with it. I have never before or since seen hair Just like Evelyn Grayson's. There was such a wealth of it, and its color was so elusive. Under dim lights it seemed a prosaic brown, but with small encouragement it changed to a light fawn, streaked with lustrous topaz ajrands; which in the sun's blaze became a dazzling bronze glory. "I'm pretty sure I can find the tree," she asserted, as she swung along with that free, lissome stride which I loved. "It is an old, dead chestnut, a great giant of the woods, imposing even In death; and it stands only a half-dozen yards off the tralL I was looking for ferns, or 1 never in the world should have come upon it. How do you imagine that tning ever got away off here? And who could have stuck It up on that dead tree trunk?" "That is precisely what I should like to find out," was my reply. "It seems very mysterious to me. About what time was it, when you discovered it?" "Just before I met you." "Had you heard any shooting in the woods, before that?" "Shooting?" she queried, apparently surprised. "No. Was some one shooting?" "I understood so. Poaching, I imagine. After some of Cameron's fst pheasants." "But It's out of season," she declared, promptly. "That makes small difference with a poacher." Her belief in her ability to lead me to the tree of which we were in quest was not unfounded. Twice she paused and peered in between the gray trunks which grew close to our path; once she took a step off the trail, bending in keen-eyed search of certain familiar landmarks. These were the only interruptions to what was otherwise a straight march to ihe goal. When, at length, we reached it, she Identified it beyond question, and I had little difficulty in finding the nail from which the piece of canvas had been suspended. It was one of thin wire, with very Binall head, driven into the tree at a distance of about four and a half feet from the ground. Just beneath It I found four scattering bullet, holes, wjth the bullets too deeply embedded to be extracted with so poor a tool as a pocket knife. From this it was evident that the shots had been fired at comparatively short range, as indeed they must have been, seeing that the trees here grew so thickly as to make impossible any very extended line of sight upon the target. Somewhat, to Evelyn's perplexity I began making a careful inspection ot the ground," not only about the tree, but as far away from it as the range of vision extended. "What are ~you looking for?" she demanded, with a i>ho\v of concern, and, I thought, a little peevishly. "Footprints," I answered laughing. "Behold the American Sherlock!" "Have you found any?" "Only Cinderella's," and that put her in good humor. But I found something of much more Importance than the indentations of shoe soles. I found It very near the foot of the tree, just below where the painting had hung. It was half hidden by underbrush, and at first I mistook it for a stone. Unobserved by Evelyn, I slipped it into my pocket. "After all," I said to her, "there's not very much to be learned here, is there?" CHAPTER V. Found Dead. My motor boat, which had been running swiftly ard smoothly, with the least possible clamor from the exhaust, suddenly missed a stroke and then, after a succession of choking sobs, ceased all effort, and gradually loalng headway, drifted idly with the tide. "Well don«, Jerry," I whispered from my seat In the stern to the capable young Irishman who was bending over the motor—whispered, because, as all the world knows, the -water is a sounding board, and I had no intention of permitting any one on shore to hear my words of approval. To all appearances the motor had broken down, and wo were voyagers in distress. "The tide's settin' in," murmured Jerry. "Unless I miss me guess, it'll land us on his beach inside o' five minutes, sir." The slender scallop of a new moon had set an hour before, but the nigh{ was luminously clear, and the stars blazed with an almost southern effulgence. There was very little breeze and the waters of the Mlanus were scarcely rippled. The air was chill, however, though now and then there came to us a warm breath from the fields which all day long had lain baking iti the fervent sunshine. Along the shore to our left we caught the glint of lights from the summer cottages. To Jerry Rooney every inch of the little bay and river was familiar Each light was for him a landmark; and so, as much by Intuition as careful calculation, he had clogged the engine at a point whence, taking tide and current Into consideration, we might count upon drifting to the water end of Artist Murphy's lawn. As we drew nearer and he stealthily pointed out to me the location, I was able to descry a little grove of trees, black in the starlight, making a horizontal barrier across the limited enclosure, and hiding, like a rope portiere, the bungalow from the river. Through this no lights penetrated, and I began to doubt that, af?er all my pains, I should find at home the object of their taking. A catboat, with sail wrinkling in the uncertain breeze, glided by us, almost too near for comfort, and we caught a sentence, two sentences, In fact, from the conversation of the occupants: "Nobody knows him," In clear, ringing masculine tones; and, "He's handsome, if he is surly," in a woman's voice. I wondered if they were speaking of Murphy. My telephone inquiry of Cameron and subsequent questioning of the men ubxmt my place had proved to me that both observations would apply. No one seemed to know very much of this brawny, sandy giant, in spite of his two year's residence in the neighborhood. Now the shore's shadow was engulfing us, and the next moment, with a gentle swish of waters, we felt the boat's bottom grate on the pebbly beach. There was a landing a short distance further up—a spindling wooden pier—and to this Jerry, knee deep in the black water, turned the boat and mad a it fast. The prospect which confronted ua as we walked shoreward over the creaking planks was about as hospitable as the grim walls of a prison. The tree barrier rose stark and forbidding a dozen yards away. Between it and the river was a combination of pebbles, Band, high grass, and rugged oveigrown lawn, faintly visible In the starlight. On nearerapproach, however, we found an opening in the curtain of trees, a veritable valley of shadow, through which we passed to a strip' of neglected sward and a squat, unpainted weather-beaten cottage of a single story, with vine-screened verandah. And in what seemed, to us the very center of the house front, there shone a tiny glowing point, o.'! red fire. Wo had not come altogether in vain. By all "the"odds "of "chance, it was a safe conclusion that Murphy, In propria persona, was behind that lighted end of a cigar. Then we &aw the point move, describing a half circle, and simultaneously a voice rang out—a deep, sonorous voice, but of churlish intonation: .. "What do you_want_ hero?" _ I suppose he expected me to come to a sudden halt, but I was then only a few steps distant from the verandah, and as I answered him, I covered that distance. "My motor boat ran out of gasolene," I said, "and drifted * to your beach. I was in hopes we might borrow enough to get us home." I saw him now, dimly, in the shadowed recess. He was seated facing me, a creature of great bulk, with huge head and ponderous shoulders. "I don't keep gasolene," was his gruff response. "I thought—" I began, but his next utterance drowned my words. "I say I don't keep it," he reiterated, in louder tones. . "Isn't that plain?" "Oh, quite. You have neither gasolene nor good manners." I saw him rise, a massive tower, dwarfing his surroundings, and take a step forward to the edge of his porch. "This is my house and my castle," he flung at me, savagely, "and I won't stand for trespassers. If you two don't want to be Hung off my property, it would be advisable for you to make haste in going." My laugh was not calculated to salve his ill humor, yet I think he must have gathered from it that I was not to be terrorized by either his size o r ' h i s threats. "Your name's Murphy, I think," 1 ventured, calmly, not moving an inch. But he made no response. "Mine is Clyde," t went on; "I am one of the state game wardens." "I'm not interested in who you are," he' growled. "But I'm interested in learning •what your Chinaman waa shooting this morning, over on the Cameron place." "Then find out," was his courteous retort. "I'm sure I shan't tell you." "Maybe the Chinaman will be more obliging," 1 suggested, and turning to Jerry, who had stood in silence, all the while, a few steps behind me, I said: "Look around at the back, my lad, and if you can find Mr. Murphy's man fetch him here." But before I had quite finished, the big man in the shadow of the verandah was storming: "He'll stop just where he Is. If he dares to come another step nearer this house, I'll throw the pair of ycu over the hedge, neck and crop. Do you hear me?" "And if you dare to interfere with an officer or his deputy in the discharge of his duty, the authorities will settle with you," was my calm rejoinder. "Trot ahead, Jerry! His bark's worse than his bite." Jerry, quick to obey, disappeared on the instant around the corner of the bungalow, and Murphy, after a pretended dash forward, halted on the lower porch step. "See hero!" he demanded, cumbrously. "What's all this, anyhow? You come here after gasolene, ostensibly, and then declare you're game wardens after a law-defying, Chinese poacher."

Naw York When Every Sailor Wore a Queue The sailors' broad collars were devised so that the powder or tar on the wearer's queues should not come off on the blouse. In the old days every sailor wore his hair In a queue and either had the queue powdered or held together by tar. This was not good for the blouse or Jacket underneath. So detachable broad collars were added. Sailors stopped wearing queues a century ago. . But they still wear the wide collar. When Lord Nelson died the British navy went into mourning tor him. Sailors put broad black ribbons on their capt and black ribbons oa their blouses. And the ribbons remain to this day, not only on the uniforms of British sailors, but on those of other navies as well. The broad "bell shaped" ends of sailors' trouser legs were thus shaped so that the wearer might more easily turn his trousers up above his knees when he had to swab the decks. Deck swabbing was a hateful and supposedly degrading task. Hence the sailors called their enemies "swabs" as a terra of contempt. More than one man has failed In life simply because he persisted In having •pats and In wearing them.

Winfield Backus, a fifteen year old boy, also met instant death. They had bought a barrel of gasoline and were returning home about dusk. The night being cold both m en were well bundled about the head and shoulders. The train was a through freight and it is thought that their heavy wraps hindered them from hearing the train until it was upon them. Mr. Wood was a man fifty one years of age. He leaves a wife, two daughters and a son to mourn the loss of both husband and father. The funeral will be held Friday at one o'clock from the house and at one thirty from the church in Plainfield.

Headquarters For Magazines and School Supplies v,.r ,.\ . - S . • M S V • » - ..*' W /*.> NOVELTY IS DEMANDED MOST STRIKING FEATURE OF DRESS TRIMMING SITUATION. fivery Conceivable Thlrtg That Will •Give an Air of "Difference" Is Employed— Most Unusual Effects Noted in Consequence. T h e keynote of the dresB trimming situation for the coming seaBon Is certainly novelty. Nothing is too "different" and unusual not to be in demand, and the more curiouB the trimming the greater seems to be its popularity. Fringes are tavored by the fashion makers in Paris and Berlin. Silk ball fringes in every conceivable style, size aad combination of color will be used on the more dressy costumes. Virtually all kinds of bead fringes are in demand, from the simplest to the most elaborate in the medium and narrow widths. Silk fringe will be seen on the gowns of plainer cut. Opalescent bead fringes, jet, black and white and all the shades of amber are great favorites, with gold and silver for use on elaborate evening costumes and some of the handsome wraps for evening wear. Colored embroidered bands are meeting with high favor. These come in all widths and a wide variety of de- • signs, many of them showing metallic threads intermingled with the floss »ilk. Solid metal effectB are largely used. Gold, silver, copper and gun metal embroidered sets at intervals with mock Jewels are wonderful in •their beauty, especially those of orlen- • tal design and rich coloring. Jets In band embroideries and fringes are well liked for trimmings •on black and white gowns; dull jets . are seen on mourning costumes. Very effective are the cut Jet costumes with rhlnestone centers and crystal buttons or all the conceivable colors set with colored Jewels and rhlnestones. Some of the most unusual effects are seen In the chiffon floral trimmings. These are in the form of bands of small or large blossoms, leaves and Tbuds, that can be transferred to the gown simply by catching them lightly from underneath with rather loose atltehery. They can be had in wreaths, lyarlands, clusters and In single blossoms, and there is certainly no question as to their beauty and adaptabilit y in the trimming of elaborate COBtomes for evenltjg and formal occas i o n s in the afternoon. Tunics are in great demand. Odd Bnd fancy styles are especially well liked. Prominent among these are t h o s e that are cut away in front, showing the influence of the dlrectoire period now dominant in Rarments of all descriptions. Other styles are draped .in pannier effect or else slashed at the .jaide, forming long panels in the front and the back. Very handsome models are they that show demi-flouncings, which vogue comes in directly from Paris. Hraids there are in such numbers and varieties that it would be impossible to describe them In a limited apace. Hut all are beautiful in design and texture, and if you desire a trimming for a simple morning frock ..choose braid. FOR THE STREET OR HOUSE Tweed Costume In Green Shade Recommended— Simple Home Dress for Almost Any Material- Tweed Costume.—Green tweed flecked with brown is used for our model. The coat is sacque shaped, trimmed with straps to match skirt. It has a collar of material, below which In front plaited lace frills hang. Straps trim the sleeves. Hat of black velvet, trimmed with a velvet ribbon mount. Materials required: Five yards of tweed 40 inches wide, five buttons, 43-2 yards silk or satin for lining coat. Simple Home Dress—So simple is this, that it might be made in many different materials. The skirt has a wrapped seam up the left side of front, six button* trim the foot. The waist is high and plainly set to the bodice, which is Magyar, and has a low, round neck, braided simply as trimming. The sleeves are trimmed to match. Materials required: Three and onehalf yards 42 inches wide, one-half dozen buttonB, one-half dozen yards braid. Double Skirts. Although the plaited skirt to promised a revival, numbers of the new Paris model suits have still skirts which, although rather tight at the ankles, are ample enough round thfe hips and knees. There are ways of giving spring to theBe gowns, which prevent them from developing intc anything which is likely to recatr the hobble. In some cases the seam is lefi open at the foot In modified dlrectoire fashion, while a still better expedient is that of the two skirts, orfe above the other, and both of which have one open seam in a different place, so that plenty of freedom is gained in thU manner, the skirt remaining, however narrow in appearance and the opening unnotlceable.

MACHINE, NOT A GIRL Rosy Hears That Her Sweetheart Is Crazy About a Typewriter. 3y MILDRED HOUSTON HEMINGWAY. "Then you do love me," he whispered, as he hfcdd her in his arms and tried to reach her lips with his. Rosy made no audible reply, hut gave a little sigh of satisfaction .and cuddled closer in the encircling arms. "You'll never let anything come between us?" he pleaded, this time succeeding in turning the pretty face to his, and preventing any reply by covering the little mouth. At last, however, Hugh managed to gain from the bashful young girl her confession of love, and then the two began planning for an early marriage. This was Tuesday night. Wednesday morning a cloud arose on the horizon of their love. Rosy was singing at her work around the house, when Kathryn Steward ran up the steps. Kathryn had been married three months, and Rosy was extremely anxious to confide her engagement to her friend, so she ran to open the door. Before their greetings were fairly over she began to pave the way for her confession. " "Hugh was here last night," she smiled. "Hugh who?" Kathryn asked, although she knew as well as Rosy. "Hugh Howard." "Well, what of it?" Kathryn asked, going over to the mantel and arranging her hair before the glass. "Why, I—well—he was here," Rosy faltered. Kathryn turned. "You don't mean to say that you are interested in him?" she said. There was real concern in her voice. "What makes you say that?" Rosy cried, her eyes filling with tears. Kathryn forgot her hair, and took her frieml in her arms. "I'll tell you," she said, softly. "Rich knows Hugh very well indeed, and he told me the other night that he was crazy about a typewriter. Those were his very words. Said he could talk of nothing but that typewriter, and you aren't a typewriter, are you?** and Kathryn kissed her little friend. Poor little Rosy began to cry. Perhaps, if left to herself, she might have sent for Hugh and asked for an ex- • , i , » ' v. rtlown front and nearly to foot.

Kathryn Asked planation, but under Kathryn's persuasive direction she wrote him the following note: "I am going tb ask you to forget what happened last night, to treat It as though It never occurred. Do not try to see me, for I never want to meet you again. Rose Parsons." "And now you are coming to our summer cottage with me," Kathryn caid decidedly, and before Rosy recovered her breath, Kathryn had explained to Mrs. Parsons, packed Rosy's suit case, and borne her away. As the cruel letter slipped from her Hngers into the mail box Rosy gave a little sob, and might have written another to recall it, if she had not accidentally come across Hugh on the way to the depot. He did not see her as he was walking beside a remarkably pretty girl, and the two were laughing and talking in an animated manner, although there was nothing ToveTlIko In their attitude.—Still, to Rosy, thi3 was proof positive of his perfidy. Just as Hugh was thinking with joyful anticipation of the evening, he reco'ved Rosy's letter, and could scarcely believe his eyes as he read the few words her epistle contained. "Well, of all things!" he said a t '.ast, drawing a deep breath. , -'"' If ho had been like sjMrto men, he might have retlred^tnto a sulky silence, and pride- would have reared a wall as high as heaven between the two,^>ut Hugh was made of different .material. Instead of visiting Rosy, friead," Hugh cried, more bewildered than ever. "It was something she told RQBV," Mrs. Paraons insisted, and Hugh left the house trying to puzzle out what the trouble could be. Then he went to Richard Steward; and asked him if he knew anything about the matter. "I haven't the remotest idea," that young gentleman returned, and then added: "Come up with me Saturday, and ask Rosy for yourself. We'll say nothing to the girls about your coming, and take them by surprise." In the meanwhile RoBy was anything but a pleasant companion to her hostess, for if the truth be told, she sulked and cried nearly all the time, and Kathryn began to nvlsh Bhe had left her friend in ignorance of what she had found out. On Saturday the two went over to the station to met Richard, and Rosy felt her rebellious heart give a throb of joy when she saw Hugh with her host, although she protended to be very angry, and would not speak to him. They all climbed into the boat which was to take them to the Stewart cottage, and then Hugh asked quietly: "What did you tell Rosy about me, Kathryn?" Kathryn's face grew a little redder than it had been since she first saw Hugh with her husband, but she said stoutly: "I just told her you were crazy about a typewriter. I think you ought to be ashamed of yourself, Hugh." Hugh and Richard looked at each other, and then burst into a roar of laughter, while the two girls looked furious. "So I am," Hugh said at laBt, "but it is a machine, not a girl. I'm going to have the agency for it, and that is one reason I can think/ of getting married at this time." Richard and Kathryn effaced themselves as soon as their guests reached land, and Rosy made up for her willingness to believe evil, although she did ask meekly after a time: "Who was that I saw you with the other day when we were coming to the depot?" "Why, the girl who gives demonstrations on the typewriter. She taught me how to get a high rate of speed from the machines so I could show them to better advantage." Rosy looked up at him with a littie- shame-faced smile, and then burled her face tearfully but happily oh his shoulder. (Ctpyrfgtit.. 19T2; by W. Q. Chapman.) FIRST SHOTS AT A CARIBOU J. "F. 8tudley Fired Seven Times in Val* Because He Had "Buck Ague* What the "buck, ague** fa- like Is described in "The Journal of a Sporting Nomad," by J. T. STudley. The author's- first attempt against the caribou resulted in humiliation. He tells that Johnny, Ms Indian guide, suddenly dropped like a stone into the wet grass and muttered "Stag," and there, sure enough, strolling a*ong the front, was a fine caribouv "I sat down, resting my elbow on my knee, waiting until he should put in an appearance on my side of the rock. I had the riflo to my shoulder and, at last the grand beast walked into view, not more than 100 yards away. He stopped, looking about himv and T drew a bead on his shoulder. Useless! The rifle wabbled all over the place, and for the JTfe of me I coTrfd not keep it still, nor hold my breath. My heart was in my mouth and all the time the rifle trembled and shook.

Indeed, it has been said that the majority of suicixJes are those of children, and experts &eem inclined to connect the grisly epidemic with the educational system. That "the weak must go to the walir' has become an axiom that has been extended to the schools, and the undeveloped mind of the child seeks- reftetf in suicide from the discouragement of failure. * It would ho interesting to know if any of the so*caHcd heathen countries of t h ^ worlti have ever experienced such a horrid social phe-twimtma as that ot child suicide.

My hands were disfigured and swollen, and troubled me so that I could not sleep. They were cracked and when the small sores broke a white matter would come out. I could not do any hard work; If I did the sores would come out worse. For two years nobody could cure my eczema, until one day I thought I would try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

In response to a query for building a silo 12x28, about 24 feet above, ground, Hoard's Dairyman makes the following reply: One-half inch lumber will give fully as good, If not better, service than inch lumber. The accompanying illustration showB how the inside sheeting and beveled lath and cement are used in a silo of this kind. The 2x4's may be set on the foundation 16 inches from center to center. We like the beveled lath as suggested in the drawing, for it adds strength to the silo. BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIM In Selecting Cattle Real Test Must Be Scales and Babcock Test—Conformation of Cow. End View. We know of some instances where common lath has been used, but it seems to us better to use the lath made from one-half-inch material. The 2x4's will not need any sort of iron hoops. The inside sheeting and the beveled lath are strong enough to resiBt all lateral pressure. If inch lumber is used and lath as suggested, It would be well to put oh the outside some wooden hoops three feet apart. These hoops may be nailed to the 2x4s. The capacity of the silo is sufficient for 15 milk cows. We believe that a Bilo 11 feet in diameter and 30 to 32 feet high would bo almost better to construct, for it is necessary to remove about one and one-half to two Inches of silage per day, especially in summer, if it is to be kept in good condition. ROOT CROPS FOR DAIRY COW Make Valuable Addition to Winter Rations Beoause They Add to Variety of Feed. No matter what some people tell you, turnips and other roots make fine milk producing feed. Turnips will not affect the flavor of milk If fed at the right time. If turnips are fed in large quantities and two or three hours before milking, they are likely to give the milk an unpleasant taste, but if fed directly after milking no flavor whatever will be noticed. A peck of turnips to each animal per day is sufficient in most cases. A good plan is to feed/directly after hay in the early morning, and once a day is often enough. A little salt scattered over the turnips, which should be chopped in quarters or smaller, add to their palatability. Roots make very valuable addition to the winter ration because they add to the variety of the feed and no animal on the farm appreciates variety more than the dairy cofw. In Wisconsin, Iowa and other western dairy states the root crop is becoming a very Important part of. the crop of the farm. CONVENIENT CART FOR MILK Two Buggy Wheels and Axle Used In Its Construction—Handy for Carrying Fertilizer. I saw a home-made cart, made from the two wheels and an old axle of a buggy, says a writer in the Rural New A Handy Milk Cart. Yorker. It was used to wheel three cans of milk and feed or fertilisers around farm or barn. The illustration shows how it was made. Professor W. J. Kennedy of the Iowa station recommends the following in reference to the selection ot breeding stock tor the dairy: In selecting dairy cattle the real test must be the scales and the liabcock teater. The cow is a machine to convert food into milk, thus she must have a large middle and a strong constitution to insure the best results. She must also have a large udder, large milk wells, large crooked milk veins and good sized teats. Her head should be clean and angular in appearance, with the eyes standing out prominently. The neck should be rather long and lean in appearance. The shoulders pointed, and the backbone rather prominent. The skin should be loose and Boft to the touch. In selecting herd bulls, either mature animals which have already demonstrated their worth as Bires, or younger* animalB from high testing dams and sires only should be used. The best and surest results will always follow the use of a mature sire which has sired heifers with good records. A good dairy bull Bhould be kept until he is 12 or 15 years old, in fact as long as he is a sure sire. Real good sires are so rare that when we do And one, he should die only of old age. All breeders of dairy cattle should secure yearly tests on each and every cow in the herd. Shorter tests do not really mean very much. It Is the cow that stays by her job that it really valuable, MILKING MACHINE IS HANDY Operation Performed by Compression In Device Recently Invented by Wisonsin Man. MICHIGAN HAPPENINGS The Scientific American in describ ing a milking machine, recently invented by O. C. Sibilsky of Algoma: Wis., says: The invention pictured in the illustration in actual use, provides a machine which will cauBe the milking operation to be performed by compression rather than by suction"or stripping; provided a device detachable so as to accommodate it for use in connection with different Bize cows 01 Milking Machine. those having different size udders; provides an actuator for the milkei which is adjustable in acordance witb the size of the teats; and provide a milking machine in which the compression cups are formed and oper ated so as to simulate the form and operation of a person's hand in hand milking.

Beef is high, but butter and cream are higher. Silage may be fed the day after the silo is filled. Thoughtful dairymen will keep up the milk'flow this fall. Back of many a shortage in the dairy business 1B a poor sire. Separating cold milk means that some cream will remain in the skimmilk. Dirty calf pails are one sign that the calves are not getting care enough, If the hired man is careful with the cows a few of his faults may be overlooked. To get rich milk is possible for the average farmer, but It must be through breeding. To get top prices for farm crops, try selling them to the dairy cow or the shoat. A good many cow stables resemble hotels. They have both "roomers" and "boarders." Shade, water and good grass are three essentials for profitable milk production. If the cream is still warm after separating, don't put the lid on the can down tight. Letting the calf run with a hard milker has been found to help matters in many cases. If a farmer, will keep a poor hired man out of sympathy for him, what kind of cows must he keep. The man who leaves his cows out these cool nights will have less manure to haul out. Likewise less milk. It Is highly important to feed producing cows some concentrated feed? in connection' with pasturage and roughage.

When the first bullet came 'crashing through the glass, Mrs. Mead went to the telephone to summon help, and while standing with the receiver in her hand the second bullet passed through the fleshy part of her right cheek and grazed the wrist of her uplifted arm before burying itse'.f in the wall. Jackson;—ConvictB suspected of having incendiary tendencies will be placed at work in the fireproof brick manufacturing plant at Jackson prison when the machinery for the manufacture of brick and tile arrives at the prison.

But dropping the peanut glory and coming to a golden memory, the former denizen of a village will remember how the dry goods stores would always put their empty boxes on the sidewalk, ou which men would Bit, whittle, chew tobacco and talk politics. Those were great tobacco chewing and spitting days, and politics chimed in happily with them. September and October were the best months for whittling up dry goods boxes and settling national affairs, and those were the days, too, of the peanut and plug tobacco— not the scrap stuff that ruins people nowadays, but real old Virginia plug, that was full of politics.

There was a_time when the wholesome teachings of our mothers had an Influence, when the home Influence was felt after the fledglings had Jeft the nest, and there are still some that are considered by many as "oldfashioned" who believe as our revered parents did, Bays the Washington Herald. Granting that a woman has the same rights as a man, that they can do the same things as man, can smoke, take a cocktail, ride a horse astride, and Buch things that were once considered as purely in man's province, yet the doing of these things have a tendency to bring the good woman down to the level of the company she Is in, to make the telling of a risque story in mixed company a com man matter. We discuss eugenics with our children; they are allowed to read almost any noyel they can get their hands on, and are allowed liberties former generations were strangers to. A return to the "old-faBhloned" ideas of our mothers, to the time when the conventionalities were observed, might bo looked upon as a step backward by tho fast sot of today, but to the thinking man or woman who still believes In tho sanctity •of the homo and home life it would help to establish a purity that is sadly lacking In many families In this the twentieth century. Many persons are of the opinion t h a t the wireless system of communication Is particularly subject to tapping, but, according to the Scientific American, no telegraph system la absolutely secret. Any one familiar •with the Morse code can read ordinary messages entering any telegraph office. At Poldhu, on a telephone connected to a long horizontal wire, the messages passing on a government telegraph line a quarter of a mile away can be distinctly read. It has been shown that it is possible to pick,up at a distance, on another circuit, conversation which may be passing through a telephone or telegraph wire. Oa one occasion an investigator was able to interfere, for a distance, with the working of the ordinary telephones in Liverpool. A s k More T h a n $1,200,000. Secretary Murray, of the_state board of corrections and charities, iuB made his report to Gov. Osborn. — Institutions required to submit estimates of appropriations to the board for approval will ask $1,081,452.28 from the next legislature tor special purposes, Many of the items included were before the last legislature. lu addition to the amounts asked for special purposes, eight of the institutions will ask for |t>li9,0y» £or current expenses. Several ask for money for new buildings with which to house inmates, the demand for quarters having outgrown their facilities. The board recommends several innovations in the laws. It wants authority to inspect city and village jails and house of detention; to ciose jails and infirmaries which are found unfit, upon the approval of the governor or a justice of the supreme court; provide for the licensing by the board of maternity hospitals and private incorporated institutions. The board suggests that legislation be enacted providing for the purchase of lands for colonies of epileptics as well as for colonies for inebriates, and urges that the sheriffs of all counties should be placed Tinder the salary system. Turks Reject Peace Terms. Turkey has rejected as "impossible" tho peace terms offered by the Balkan allies, and prospects now are for an Indefinite continuation of one of the world's cruelest wars. Sugar B a r r e l ! May Clear Up M y s t e r y . An _election mystery in Kalamazoo county may be cleared up by the canvassers,- w-hen they......are. given, a chance to inspect a sugar barrel that was used in Climax township as a repository for votes. With several candidates showing dispositions to asK for an official recount, the county canvassers at a loss to explain the discrepancy that is reported at Climax. The poll lists of that township show that 319 people voted there, while the returns total but 278 ballots, a discrepancy of 41. This number of votos if accounted for, might make a great difference in the result of two or th-ee contests, where the winners carried the county by less than 40 plurality. STATE BRIEFS. The first arrival in New York of apecimens of the tsetse fly of the Congo was noted the other day. The flies were dead and preserved in a bottle of alcohol in the possession of A. H. Hale, who was a passenger on the Bteamshlp Finland. They will be available for examination by medical scientists who desire to study them at close range. The tsetse fly is the carrier of the sleeping sickness, -which is said to have depopulated considerable districts in the heart of Africa. It is a biting fly. Recent students of the stable fly, which is under suspicion in this country, have *n!d that it more nearly resembles the tsetse fly than any other American representative of the fly family. T h e specimens which Mr. Hale has Draught into the country will enable comparisons to put this opinion to the t e s t A man in Berlin advertises for a wife with a wooden leg. He must want one with a sound understanding. A Chicago professor ranks griddle cakes above Greek and lobster salad above Latin when girls are to be educated. A sandwiching of them is preferred nowadays, however. If the London Chronicle should tiave Its way women would do the poolng, but in that event what •ftould we do for bachelors to make UP the armies? August Rj.be is the third farmer In the vicinity of Kalamazoo to sacrifice a hand in a corn shredder this season. The U. S. agriculture department sent out 34,000,000 copies of documents the last year, free; and sold $16,000 worth. John P. Riley, socialist member of the charter commission, of Kalamazoo, presented a minority report protesting against the adoption of the new charter, which he declares makes the mayor a dictator. Nine hundred deer licenses have been issued in Dickinson county to date. State Game Warden Oat^s estimates that there are 10,000 hunters in the upper peninsula. Governor Glasscock declared martial law in the Cabin Creek and Paint Creek sections of the Kenawha coal field in West Virginia, to maintain order during a strike. So delightful is David Unruh over the result of the election that he has just announced the gift of one 2-yearold steer to the democrats in the Niles end of Berrien county for a barbecue. Gov. Osborn, who ordered Attorney General Wykes to investigate the alleged fraudulent enrollments in Wayne county prior to the August primaries, has demanded the resignation of eight notaries public. The good roads commission of Berrien county is considering a way to refund $4,000 of road tax money to three townships which built good roads before the present state reward system became effective. Claud S. Carney, of Kalamizoo, defeated democratic candidate for congress, has t'.ed a protest again*', the Kalamazoo County to Make T i l e . Kalamazo county will have a factory for the manufacture of tiling to be used in connection with the good roads work, and it will be operated by prisoners from the county jail. The commission has just purchased a fat-m at Portage Center and will build a factory at once. It is said this is the first move to establish a county reformatory and do away with the antiquated county jail. The Portage farm is in the center of the county and well located for such an institution. Acting under direction of Postmaster General Hitchcock, postofftce inspectors and United StateB marshals in 72 leading cities of the country began practically simultaneous raids for the arrest of 173 persons charged with using the mails to promote criminal medical practices or the sale of drugs and instruments used for illegal purposes. The arrests are made for misuse of the mails, each case being based on the use of the mails to solicit business or dispose of wares. The concerted official action covered the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lakeB to the gulf.

The verdict was arrived at, according to the oldest court officers, with a speed unprecedented in the history of first degree convictions in the county.

Robert Cameron, capitalist, consults Philip Clyde, newspaper publisher, regarding anonymous threatening letters he nas received. The first promises a sample of the writer's power on a certain day. On that day the head Is mysteriously cut from u portrait nf Cameron while the latter is In the room. ..... ^. _• CHAPTER I I . Rifle Shots Echo In the Woods. Of conveying even a tithe of the horror I experienced at Cameron's disclosure I am nigh hopeless. The more we discussed the occurrence the less susceptible it seemed of explanation. And what is so terrifying as the Inexplicable, or so dreadful as the intangible? Here, apparently, was an enemy of calm and cunning malignity, who chose to manifest his power in a manner almost ludicrously puerile— save as it pointed with significant finger to some dire and inevitable sequel —yet-with such crafty secrecy as conu pletely to mystify and dismay. Cameron showed me the mutilated portrait. He had taken it down almost immediately; and had hidden it away in a closet of the hall behind an array of raincoats. The cutting had been done, evidently, with an exceedingly keen blade, and very dexterously done. But that it should have been accomplished in twelve minutes, while Cameron sat in the room, not fifteen feet distant, was beyond our comprehension. Absorption in his book was the nearest we came to a solution, and that was Scarcely tenable. For there was the crowded top of the bookshelves. To cut the canvas, the vandal must either have stood upon that or have reared a ladder. There was not room for the foot of a child on the shelf-top; and as for the ladder, it was unthinkable. How could a ladder have been carried in and out without Cameron being conscious of it? From every possible angle we viewed the incident, making every conceivable concession, and no half-way plausible answer to the riddle presented Itself. And though our common-sense told us that the time of miracles was long past, that no Gyges' ring nor Alberich's cloak survived to this day to make invisible their wearers, there persisted, nevertheless, a chill, uncanny sense of the supernatural, qulte( evident to me in Cameron's hushed voice and furtive manner, and in my own unwonted nervous disquietude. We sat very late. I wished, if possible, to learn if at any time in my friend's life he had done aught to engender an enmity to which these strange developments could be traced —whether, for instance, in the hot blood of his youth in some far land he had provoked the vengeance of one whose humor it is never to forget. As we talked I came to know Cameron better than I had ever known him before. He bared to me much of his early career; he gave me a' clearer view of his temperamental qualities; and yet I could not but feel that he left the vital point untouched, that beneath his seeming frankness there lay hidden, shielded, some/ one episode, perhaps, which might fertile light In upon our darkless. F o r ^ n y question was evaded rather than answered. Presently, Ve went back to the letters and dissected them, coldly and critically, sentence by sentence, and while the weird influence which t h e * hid exerted upon me at the first reading Increased, stimulated possibly by the incident of the portrait, still we reached a certain practical, commonsense view as to their origin; for we came to see in them what we believed to be the hand of a religious fanatic. Certain expressions, we concluded, were quotations. If they were not Biblical, they were certainly of sacred genesis., And the discovery was not reassuring. It lent, indeed, an added prick to the perturbation we already experienced. Nor did the absence of a specified date for the second promised demonstration of power tend to relieve our uneasiness. In this silence we found the acme of cunning cruelty. Any day, at any hour, some other mystifying, soul-torturing incident was liable to occur. I tried to argde that the seventh day was implied, inasmuch as the second note was received on the same day of the month as the first, and was a mere continuation of the original threat. But my contention lacked the intrinsic strength which carries conviction. and, as Cameron put it, we could only "watch and wait;" for the communications offered no alternative. They made no demand which being complied with would avert penalty. Only implacable and inevitable retribution, calm/ patient, and determined, effused from every line. ^Batw in spite of Cameron's evident ^depth of the wood, to the left of me amxlety—and in using that term 1 very mildly stating his obvious tio* of mind—he sternly refuse* cpMtrtt either the police or the print* [ detectives.

Sfeotid ths pes* He become aware that my life is threatened, very serious consequences might ensue in the market. No, Clyde, whatever is done, must be done by ourselves, and by friends whom we can trust absolutely. I can take no risk of this horrid thing getting into the newspapers. BesideB," he added, with a kindly, considerative Bmile, "Evelyn must be kept In ignorance. Not for worlds would I have her troubled by our perplexing enigma." My suggestion that he should go abroad for a time, or at least spend a few weeks at Newport, was met with similar obstinate refusal. "I admit that I have been somewhat upset by this extraordinary combination," was the way he expressed it, "but 1 am not a coward. I am not going to run. Even if I were inclined to do so, what should I gain? If a man be not safe in his own house, where in Heaven's name is he likely to find safety?" ^ Quite naturally I was led by this expression to inquire whether, ""p~eT=" chance, he mistrusted any ef the many persons who were employed in the house and about the estate. But, somewhat to my surprise, he was almost gravely offended by the mere suggestion. Nevertheless there were several features of the affair, chief of them the manner in which the letters were received, which caused me to dwell with some mental persistence on this as the most profitable ground for speculation. And .when at length, in the morning's small hours, I returned to my home and to my bed, I carried the thought with me. The sowing of this seed in the subconscious garden of my mind brought forth fruit after its kind. I awoke with a perfectly clear understanding of how that which, the night before, had seemed so impossible of accomplishment was, perhaps, after all, merely a harlequin trick, quite simple when explained. With the new day, too, and the sunlight, and the cheery brightness of my own rooms, there came a lifting of that oppressive atmosphere of the esoteric which at Cameron's had set my nerves out of plumb and my reason on the bias. Indeed I was fully convinced that we had been foolishly constructing an Alpine chain out of a miserable little row of mole hills, and 1 determined to lose no time In bringing Cameron, whom I now regarded as most needlessly alarmed, to my own wholesome way of thinking. Directly after breakfast, therefore, I set forth on foot for my neighbor's, choosing the shore road as the more direct of the two routes. Personally, my taste in landscape is for distant view in preference to nearat- hand foliage. My own house, which is fashioned In semblance of a Pompeiian villa, its cream-white walls punctuated with shutters of a somewhat vivid pea-green and crowned by gently sloping roofs of the same bright color, gazes out across Stamford Harbor and the blue waters of the Sound, to where on clear days the pencilled outline of Eaton's Neck shows purple in the distance. There are no towering, umbrageous trees to interrupt the outlook; only low, carefully- trimmed shrubs, adorning a series of marble sculpture-dotted terraces, well below the line of vision. But the Cameron place, reflecting the Townsbury penchant for arboriculture, is quite the reverse. The prospect from the windows and verandahs of the fine old mansion is all green vistas and leafy perspectives, with pnly a glint of sun-sparkled waves, chancecaught between gray boles or when the wind spreads a momentary opening in the foliage. My way to Cameron'B led through a veritable forest of such luxuriant leafage that the path more than half the time was in twilight, while to right and left the shadows deepened into dark in the cloistral recesses of the woodland heart. The silence was profound. No voice of bird nor scurrying foot of squirrel invaded t h e morning hush of those ramous depths. My own footsteps on the soft turf returned no sound. A half-mile or more I had walked in this mute greenwood peace,- when sharp and clear there echoed through the verdurous aisles the crack of a rifle, and I came to a sudden, involuntary halt.'. Then it occurred to me that it was the third day of the open season for rail birds, and that It was the report of a shot-gun I had heard, fired by some sportsman, off on the shore, there, to my right. And so I resumed my tramp, with ears keen for a repetition. Almost immediately I was rewarded, and then I knew that it was no rail bird gunner, for the shot was unmistakably a rifle shot, and it 4aa fired in the Ttirm times more I heard it, in fair- 4sy rapM' succession, and sounding alf # t j s from about the same direction. I say that it gave me any unbut it perplexed me in a mild rYou may not know," he e x p l a i n ^ ] <rs>jy awmatag a passing cariosity as And then, I tarns out Will-kept, gravelled drive ths closs-croppsd, T«1 lawn* and catching sight of Cameron himself, in riding breeches and puttees, romping with one of his picturesquely graceful Russian wolf-hounds, promptly forgot all about it. He came across the sward to meet me, the great, gaunt white hound pressing close to his side, and I thought 1 saw that he, too, had experienced the inspiriting influence of the morning. "I have found an answer," I cried, while he was still fifty yards away, "possibly the answer." He raised his brows in question, and the hound, with open jaws, fondled his wrist. "I had a horseback ride before breakfast," he told me, as he shook my hand. "Then I spent an hour at the kennels. We've a fine new brood of collie puppies. You must see them." "I want to," I returned. "What do you say to tennis?" he suggested, Irrelevantly. "Just a set. It's a fine morning for tennis." "If you can lend me a pair of shoes,*' I consented, glaring down at my boots. "A dozen pairs," he smiled. "Come up to my dressing room. Louis will fit you out." I was scarcely prepnred for this change in my friend's mood, and far from happy over it. He was evidently determined to ignore the subject that had so engrossed us the night before, hoping to find surcease of harassing thought in a restless round of activities. The condition was a morbid* one which I believed should be discouraged; the more so as I possessed what I fancied was a perfectly practical solution of that which hitherto had seemed to us an inexplicable phenomenon. And I was a little annoyed, too, that my good tidings should be thus disregarded. When, therefore, w« had entered the hall and Cameron was leading towards the broad, ascending staircase, I paused. "Do you mind giving me just a minute?" He stopped, turned, and stood in questioning silence. "A minute in your study," I added, in explanation. Reluctantly, it seemed to me, he crossed to the study door, and throwing it open, Btood aside that I might precede him. The room appeared far less grim and gloomy than when I had last entered it. Its windows faced the south; and between the olive-green tapestry curtains the sun poured in a flood, lighting up the far corners, glinting on the gilt ornaments of the writing table, and bathing in dazzling splendor the burnished bronzes on the crowded top of the book-shelves. "I see you are not disposed to resume our discussion of last night," I began, when Cameron, having closed the door behind him, halted just inside, and with hands in pockets, awaited my opening. "But I want to show you that we have been in very much the same position as the wondering children who watch the presttdigltateur. We hare imagined something amazingly like a miracle, which, in point of fact, is capable of a very simple, commonplace explanation." "You mean the cutting out of the head of the portrait?" he asked, with kindling Interest. "I do." "You have discovered how it was done, before my eyes, so to speak, and y e t ~ ? " "I have discovered how it may have been done," I interrupted. He moved his head juBt perceptibly from side to side in skeptical gesture. "The door of this room is seldom locked?" I queried, ignoring the indicated skepticism. "Never locked," he answered. "It would be quite possible for any one, knowing that you were abBent, to spend an hour or so here, uninterrupted?" "Any one?" he questioned. "Any one who had gained entrance to the house," I amplified. "Oh, yes, I ^r^esume so." "They would have ample time to clear a space on the book-shelves, climb up, and carefully cut out the head, or any part, or the whole of* a portrait, if they were so inclined?" I paused for his answer, but he only smiled with a sort of incredulous tolerance. "Would they not?" I insisted. But Cameron was most perverse this morning. "My dear Clyde," he scoffed, "of what use is all this? The portrait was cut, not while 1 was absent, but while I was present. I saw it complete at three o'clock; at twelve .minutes past three, it was mutilated." "My contention is," I explained, quite patiently, "that while you saw it complete at three o'clock, the cut had already been made, but the cut portion had not been removed. In rthar words, the cutting having been deftly done with a thin, sharp knife, it was perfectly feasible to leave ths porrait apparently intact,, though witb be slightest effort ths Incised portion onld sntatxtoantly be released—with, ay, a pises of cord, ghted to tbs back /or tost sspsdal purpose." Now that I had made myself clear, Cameron was quick to acknowledge the possibility of such a method. "And the cord, you mean, led down behind the book-shelves, and perhaps through a window?" he suggested. "Precisely*And was pulled by some one on the outside." "Yes," he said, thoughtfully. "Such an explanation 1s not unreasonable. The thing, really, must have been done in some such way." "And don't you see," I hurried on with my advantage, "how utterly cheap this makes the whole affair? There's nothing, at all impressive in that performance when you find out how it was done. If the next demonstration is no better than such claptrap, you may rest assured you have a very picayunish sort of mountebank villain to deal with. So, cjeer up, my dear man, and I'll shov#you a few tricks at tennis that may be equally eye-opening.-' Unquestionably my friend appeared relieved. But I came to fancy later that the appearance was feigned for my benefit. Certainly he was not convinced, and in that proved himself possessed of an intuition, a world more accurate than my own. CHAPTER I I I . The Target. The set at tennis having finished with victory perching on my banners, I made excuse to put off the inspection of the collie puppies until another time, resumed my walking boots and, with a parting if futile admonition to Cameron to "think no more about it," started on my homeward way. My route lay again through the miniature forest, for the day had Waxed uncomfortably warm with the approach of noon, and there was scant Shade on the high-road between our two houses. In the wood, however, the air was gratefully cool, and I strode on at a good pace, breathing deeply and with enjoyment the bosky odors which greeted me afresh at every step. The dead silence which I had remarked earlier was broken now by the hoarse tooting of a steamboat whistle, somewhere off shore, and by the shrill voices of birds, apparently In resentful protest at this raucous invasion of their sylvan quiet. I had succeeded in putting aside, for the moment at least, all thought of Cameron, his anonymous letters, and his mutilated portrait, and was dwelling on my disappointment at not having caught even so much as a glimpse of Evelyn Grayson during my morning visit lo Cragholt. It is true that I had gone there with a single purpose in mind—to convey to Cameron what I believed to be an Important theory— but underlying this, I realized now, was more than a hope, a confidence even, that. I should sen Evelyn. 1 was tempted, indeed, to a regret, that. I had not waited, visited the kennels, and accepted Cameron's Invitation for luncheon, which would doubtless have insured me a few words at least with my Goddess of Youth. While on the verge of this self-reproach my spirits suddenly lifted, for the steam whistle having died away in the distance and the feathered choristers having relapsed Into a pleased chirp that merely accented the stillness, there broke all at once on the mute calm of the woodland the silver sweetness of a girl's singing. Clear and resonant It rang through the forest aisles; a voice I knew beyond mistaking. Evelyn Grayson was coming towards me over the Bcented turf, Still hidden by a bend in the path, the melody alone measured for me her approach. It was a French chanson she was lilting, a lyric of Baudelaire's, of which we were both fond. Sweet muslr swepp* m* like the sea Townrd my pnle star. Whether thf clouds be there or all the air o*» free, I sail afar. And then she came around the turn. At .first she di8 not sen me, for her eyes -were lifted with her voic<>, and I had time to mark the fascinating grace of her long, free stride, before she became conscious of my presence and checked and shortened it. She wore a frock of white serge, the skirt's edge at her ankles, revealing dainty, snowy buckskin ties and just a peep of white silk hose. And her flower-like face looked out through a frame of Leghorn straw and pink roses, tied snugly beneath her softly rounded chin with the filmiest of long, floating white veils. You can imagine the. picture she made, there in this green glade, with her big blue eyes alight with glad surprise, and the warm blood suddenly risen in her cheeks. "You truant!" I cried, in jocular reprimand. "Are you always going to run away when I visit Cragholt?" Obe pouted prettily. I detest a woman who pouts, ordinarily. There is usually such palpable affectation about I t But Evelyn's pouting was winsome as an infant's. Besides it was only momentary. Then bar eyss flashed and bar foot was planted vary hard, for such a tiny thing, on the green grasa blades. "I'm not a truant," she declared, with feigned indignation, "and I never thought of running away. That's Just your conceited manly imagination, You fancy that everything I do can have but one cause, and that is yourself. How, pray, was I to know you intended paying us a morning call?" "Tut, tut," I caught her up. "What a little spitfire we have here! If you hadn't deserted me so shamefully last evening, I shouldn't have minded this morning, so much. As it 1B, it seemB aeons since I saw you." Now she smiled until her dimples nestled. "That is much better," she returned, gayly, "and deserves a reply, Just as my action of last evening deserves praise, and not rebuke. I sacrificed myself and my pleasure for one I love." "Not for me, surely!" "Did I use thtr-word conceit a mom e n t a g o ? Are. you the- only ..man 1 love?" "I hope so," I answered, impudently. "There is another," she confessed! in monk tragedy. "Behold his face!" I had not noticed that she held a little roll in her hand, for my eyes had been ever on hers; so, when abruptly, she spread out and held before me the missing head from Cameron'B portrait, I was doubly unprepared. 1 know 1 was startled. She paid afterwards that I went very white. I suppose I did; for with the rush of realization came such a chain of supposition as to drive me momentarily dizzy. For a second or more I stood dumb, while my hand went out in eager reach for the scrap of canvas, which, I had observed, instantaneously, bore four perforations, all of a size—the Blze of a rifle bullet. With that discovery had recurred the shots I had heard; and following this, came a maze of conjecture, going back to that first letter, then to the painting's mutilation, and on through devious ways to the morning's target practice; and always with one or another of Cameron's trusted servants as the chief actor. When I recovered my composure I found Evelyn backing wilfully away from my covetous hand. "It is the picture of the man I love," she was saying, teasingly. "A very, very good man," "But where did you get it?" I asked seriously. "Do you know whore it came from?" Suddenly she was as grave aa I could wish. "I found It nailed to a tree," Rhe answered. "Wasn't it odd? Mow do you suppose It r'nrnc thrro? It looks like the portrait that, hung In Undo Robert's study. Do you suppose he srevv to dislike it, nnd cut it up and threw it away?" Now 1 found myself In some llttlo embarrassment. If I was to obey Cameron's injunction I could not tell Evelyn the truth. Yet I was in no position to make light, of her find. On the other hand I must learn from her just where she had come upon it, and so trace, If possible, the person who had fired the shotH which riddled it, "My dear girl," I said, adopting a tone of cajolery, "we have here, I think, a matter In which we both can be of service—very valuable service. Indeed, to that beloved uncle and guardian of yours. But, you must trust me, absolutely, and, for the present at least, you must give to him no hint of what we" have in hand. Do you understand?" She laughed in that merry rippling fashion which I had found not the least of her charms. "Do I understand?" she repeated, laying a hand on my arm in emphasia of her amused tolerance. "Do I understand? Of course I don't, and I shan't, until you have answered at least a half-dozen whys and whats." "Rut ypu must trust me," I insisted, "and as primary cvldrnce of that trust you will proceed at once to hand over to me, for examination, that, somewhat damaged piece fit portraiture which you are holding behind you." Very wide her eyes npenod in an Innocent, almost infantile stare, as she asked: "Do you really moan It, Philip?" "Really," I' answered, gravely. "I'd like to toll you all about it, right here and now, but that might spoil everything, so you must show what a strong womanly woman you are, by keeping silonce and waiting." In token of compliance she gave me the oval piece of canvas. "I wonder who punched the holes in it!" she remarked, ruefully. "Whoever It was, they were shockingly disrespectful." I tried to fancy what she would have said had she known they were bullet holes. Evidently that possibility bad not occurred to her and I was glad that it had not. (TO BE CONTINUED.) That is Unkind.

This is true in part only. The general observance through many years of a set day on which to give thanks to Almighty God for hia blessings has made the cus torn distinctively American; but its origin long antedates the settlement of tills western continent. and we must look elsewhere for if. The idea of Thanksgiving day goes back to remotest antiquity. It is a part of natural religion, and is probably as old as the human race. In written records we have ample evidence that the festival was celebrated in connection with "tlu< fruits of the earth" by the ancient Egyptians, the •Jews, the Greeks, and the Romans, l^ong before Luther's revolt from Home in the sixteenth cen tury it had been observed by tho Oliristians; and after tho reformation, thanksgiving days were in frequent use by the Protestant*, especially those of England. In old Egypt, when the harvest had been gatheroed, it, was th<> custom to observe a day o? feasting, and to lay offerings upon the altars of Isis, the goddess of agriculture. Tho Jewish festival was tiie "ingathering," or the 'feast of thv tabernacle" mentioned in Exodus and other part* of the Old Testament. This was more particularly a thanksgiving for the fruit harvest, and an it came at the close of the entire harvest, it probably was intended also as a genera! thanksgiving "for the bounty of nature" in tho year that had passed. This festival appears early in Jewish history, and, as It was connected with the land and itn possession, may have had a Canaanitlsh proto type. Its celebration was annual and each festival continued through seven days. At the beginning "two vessels of silver were carried in 0 ceremonious maimer to tho temple, one full of water, the other of wine, which wero poured at. the foot of the altar of burnt offerings, always on the seventh day of the festival." Plutarch describes this ceremonial which he believed was a feast to Bacchus. He says: "Tho Jews celebratotd two feasts to Uacchus. In the midst of the vintage they spread tables, spread with all manner of fruits, and live in tabernacle* made especially of palms and ivy wreaths together. . . . A few days later they kept another festival which was openly dedicated to Hacchus, for they carried boughH of palms in their hands, with which they went into the tern pie. the Lovites going before with instruments of music." Analogous to the Jewish festival and possibly borrowed from it was that of the old Greeks, the Thesmorphla. This was a feast to Deraeter, the goddess of the harvest. It lasted nine days and consisted of sacrifices of the products of tho soil with oblations of "wine, milk and honey." Theocritus refers to it In the Seventh Idyl, where Simlchldas says: "Now. this Is our way to the Thalysia, for our friends, in sooth, are making a feast to Demeter of the beautiful robe, offering tho first fruits of thefr abundance, since for them in bounteous manner the goddess has piled the thrashing floor with barley." The goddess of the Roman harvest was Ceres, iler festival was celebrated annually and was called Ceralia. It was a day for worship and rustic sports. Men and women formed processioue and went to the fields with music. Virgil refers to this festival. He mentions the sacrifices that were offered In the temples and alludes to the joyousueBB of the occasion. In one way or another, Thanksgiving day had been observed in Christian Europe for centuries before its celebration in New England. On the continent, and for a time in England, ft occurred at Martinmas, which was a day of feasting and drinking. Occasionally, too, civil authorities recommended the observance of some fixed day. To celebrate the victory of King Henry V of England at Agincourt, Oct. 25, 1415, a public thanksgiving was held on Sunday, the feast of St. Edward, the king and confessor. Such a dav. too. was observed in Leydeu. Holland.

In 1559, the second year of Ellaabeth's reign. Thanksgiving day entered Rogation day. Then it was ordered that thanks should be given to Almighty God "for the increase and abundance of his fruits upon tho earth." In this relgu, too, there was a great national thanksgiving day that is worthy of note. This occurred on Tuesday, Nov. 19. 1588, aad was in commemoration of the great victory over the "lnvlncibte armada." It had been described by -NIco! In his "Progreas of Queen Elizabeth. by Stowe, and by some other contemporary writers. We are told that "the day waa kept holy throughout the roalm. with sermona, singinj of psalms, bonfires, etc., for joy and thanksgiving unto God for the overthrow of the Spaniards, our enemies, on the sea; and the citizens of Ixmdon in their liveries that day had a sermon at St Paul's cross tending to that end." One legal and annual i't»nksglv(ng day be- Citise of fhc long time It was artch deserves special ment 'vn. After tho traitors In tho sunpowdor plot had been tfled and punished in KJOTi it. WOK ordered that because of their deliverance the English people should keep the 5th of November every year "as a public thanksgiving to Almighty God, that unfeigned thankfulness may never be forgotten and that all ages to come may yield praise to God's divine majesty for the same." The "5th of November" continued a legal thanksgiving day for more than two centuries, but in later years it fell into disuse, and in 1833 was abolished by parliament, Long before tho advent, of the pilgrims in Massachusetts, all rituals contained expressions of gratitude to God for his mercies. In that of tho Church of England special prayers were provided for the Sunday service. This service, however, must be carefully distinguished from the Thanksgiving day of tho pilgrim fathers. Failure to make this distinction has led to the groundless claim that the Popham colonists "were the first, to keep Thanksgiving day" in America. The service at Monhegan on which this claim Is based was the regular Sunday service of the Church of England, and while it had an element of thanks-, giving the day can in nowise be regarded as a Thanksgiving day as that term is understood. Contemporary evidence refutes all claim to the contrary. From "A Relation of Voyage to Sagadoc" we read as follows: "Sundaye beinge the 9th of AuguBt, in the morninge the most part of our boll company of both shipes landed on this Hand, whear the cross standeth; and thear we heard a sermon delyvred unto us by our preacher, gyving* God thanks for our happy metinge and saffe aruall Into tho country, and so returned abord again." (Massachusetts Historical society proceedings, xvii., 102.) - The record made in his "Breeches Bible" by William White, who came over in the Mayflower, has far more significance in determining the origin of our American Thanksgiving day than the event at Monhegan. The record reads: "Will* iam White married on ye 3d day of March. 1620, to Susannah Tilly. Peregrine White, born on board ye Mayflower in Cape Cod harbor, sonne. Born to Susannah White December 19th, ye six o'clock morning. Next day we meet for praver and thanksgiving." This meeting for "prayer anAJJig^jd^A!LJgMLnaL-fln. Sandav. but on., Tuesday, The fact that it was not a part of the regular Sunday service makes it more nearly accord with our Idea of Thanksgiving dav than does the Monhegan event But this similarity is not sufficient to warrant our regarding It as the origin of the American custom. The prototype of our present Thanksgiving day is found In the harvest festival at Plymouth la 1621. The long winter that followed the establishment of the colony had been one of great mortality and suffering. Scarcely half of the,colony had survived it. "At one time during the winter only Brewster, Stan dish aad five other hardy ones were well enough to get about." In the spring and summer that followed their fortunes improved, and by autumn they had cleared twenty- six acres and made it ready for cultivation. This industry, too. had been rewarded bv a bounteous harvest, Now food aotf fuel sufficient for the needs of the approaching winter were laid la. Then Governor Rradforr*. ordered a ThankigiWng —the first in America. This first Thanksgiving waa not for a day only. It continued a week. In a totter to a friend In jtmztrS I&R pzftzpjwrjz? Kngland, Edward Winsiow has given us a brief account of the festivities. This letter bears the date of Dec. 11, 1621, and in it Winsiow wrote: "Our harvest beinge gotten In, our governor sent four men on fowling that so we might after special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruits of our labors. They four killed ns much fowl as with a little help beside served the company about a week. At which times, among other recreations, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us. and among the rest their greatest king, Massasoyt, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed five deer, which they brought and bestowed on our governor and "upon the captalna and others." From other sources we know that there were athletic contests besides the exercises of arms which Winsiow mentioned. No doubt they played at "stoolball," an old form of croquet, and "pitch ye bar," which "Bradford mentions in his journal. There were no special religious services —at Jeast there Is no evidence of any. The pilgrims had their dairy prayers before breakfast. In this service, and in the Joyous spirit that seems to have dominated the occasion as well, there was, no doubt, a devout thanksgiving to God for all the blessings he had vouchsafed them. It has been repeatedly asserted that this Thanksgiving festival waa snggeeted to the nilgrims by the Jewish "feast of Ingathering.*' This Is not probable, as the differences between them are more striking than the likenesses. They were of the same duration, each lasting a WP**; pud In common with an other harvest festivals they bad the same intent ^ But in the Jewish festival sacrifice and worship- were the prevailing characteristics, while in that of the pilgrims they were entirely wanting. If the Plymouth festival has Immediate kinship with similar events in the past, it has analogies with the harvest home of England which may relate them. The pilgrims were familiar with the English celebration and many of them, no doubt had participated in It. The dominant mark of each was the Joy over the ingathering harvest In* some districts in England, too, the festival bad continued a week.—Richard Carew In hit "8uTvey of Cornwell," in speaking of the English festival, aays: "Neither doth good cheere whooly expire (though it somewhat decrease) but with the end of the weeke." The chier difference between the two was the want of ceremony at Plymouth that characterised the English festival. In some parts of England the merry making waa around the "nodding sheaf," or "kern baby,'* and in many places UM last load of the harvest was drawn to the bars In a wagon called the "hoch oart.H In front we*t pipe and tabor, and around It gathered the reaaera, male and female, singing Joyously as they proceeded. At Plymouth there was no ceremony.. The last shock of corn was not brought in "ar- ' rayed in brilliant finery." Neither waa there any "blessing of the cart." or "kissing of the sheaves," There waa no harvest song ao familiar la the fatherland: "Here's health to the barley mow; Here's a health to the man Who vary wall eaa Both narrow and plow and sow." in Patience is No Virtue^ Bm I m p a t i e n t w i t K B»eK»clk#X ffdurc TeOt a Stwu A Too patiently do^ many women endure backache, languor, dizsiness and urinary ills, thinking tbem part of woman's lot Often it is only weak kidneys and Doan's Kidney Pills would cure the case.

We are agaia in receipt of our old drlend, the home nettle. This time it H a central Iowa correspondent who •end! us the prickly-leafed, potato- Blossomed weed, says Wallace's Farmer. He says that in the locality Here Is only one patch, and it is but sixty feet square. He wishes to know tew to get rid of the weed. As all of our older readers know, Ikorse nettle ranks with Canada thistle and quack grass as one of the worst of the weed pests. It is degenerate relative of the potato and tomato, which spreads not only by abundant seeds, but by Btrong underground rootstocke. The only way to deal Som« Man Can Gat Mere Out of Anf* mats In Ona Round With Plow Than Another Will In Two. How many acres of tillable farm land will one horse work? This, of course, depends on the kind of farming done, on the kind of machinery used and on the efficiency of the man who works the horses. It would not be difficult to find 100 acres of tillable land worked in one case with two good horses and from this on up to six work horsey. Probably more depends on the ability of the driver to handle his horses than any other one thing. Some drivers will take more out of their horses at one round with the plow than another will in two rounds. In one case the plow* ing is done in a haphazard sort of way, the horses are tangled at the ends, are backed and turned unnecessarily, are jerked viciously when out of line, and possibly the harnesses do not fit properly. In the other case the horses are given a steady, true gait which is kept up, the turns are smooth and without yelling and jerking and the driver watches the working of his plow and fit of his harnesses all day long. No team should be worked over an hour at hard pulling before the harnesses are looked over to see that all parts set properly. To some this carefulness comes naturally; to others it never will come. Efficiency in the driver means efficiency in the team, and it is a pleasure to see horses worked well. / M I C H I G A N BREVITIES HOW TO MAKE A CHEAP WELL Wall Can Be Laid Five or Six Feet High, Arching It at Top With Large Stone for Covering.

Never expose freshly made concrete to the hot Bummer sun. Avoid too rapid drying out, says the American Cultivator. Do not allow it to freeze before it is properly hardened. Do not use soft sand stone or brick except for filler in largo work, and even then with discretion. Do not apply fresh cement to old and hardened surfaces without first thoroughly "soaking with water and backing a rough surface on it. Cleanse thoroughly and then apply a very thin, neat cement wash. Do not attempt to retemper and use concrete that has stood too long in the mixing board and attained its s e t Use a uniform Portland cement and give attention to uniform methods of working and the results will be uniform. Use a finely ground cement. The finer the cement the greater covering properties it possesses and the more band it can carry. An excess of cement is unnecessary, as a thin, even coating la all that Is required. Be sure to mix thoroughly. Many faulty job* are due to poor mixing. Do not be afraid of overdoing it, as longer mixing permit* of using less cement, , . , , r . It is impossible to drive a pipe for a well in some localities, and stones are scarce to lay a wall in a dug well, writes J. H. Andre of Wisconsin in the Farm and Home. In such cases the wall can be laid 5 or 6 feet high, arching it at the top with large stones to 15 or IS inches in diameter, and cover it with a large flat stone, a, with a hole in the center to admit a 6-inch pipe. Place a stone, b, in the bottom of the well 18 inches in diameter and 4 inches thick. Concrete is best. Make a concrete cone, c, 3 feet long, 16 inches in diameter, at the bottom, 3 inches thick and of a size to fit the bell end of an 8-inch sewer pipe at the top. The large end of the cone will need openings in the side to allow the water to enter freely when pumping. Place the large end of the cone on the stone. The first length, d, of sewer pipa can be 8 inches. When the pipe, e, reaches above where the well is stoned it can be reduced to 6 Inches a few lengths and then f to 4 Inches.

The people of the United States consumed 10,000,000 of plums and prunes, $7,0000,000 of pears and cherries and $5,000,000 of the raspberries. One of the curious features of this production of fruit has been the lessening of the apple crop, which in the past decade, with a growing population, has decreased from 175,000,000 to 150,000,000 barrels. On the other hand, the production of tropical fruits in continental United States has about trebled in the same time, and ten times as many pineapples are gtown now as were produced ten years ago.

TfciB world ts divided between freehllters and but-chokeiH, but to under* etand the simile you must be a fan, or at least have the confidence of a fan who will lead you through the door of wisdom. The free-hitter, be it known, ts the batsman of the supercilious eye who begins hia swing away back over his shoulder, brings It round like a yacht's boom gibing in « strong wind and driveB the ball w e r the left field fence or— misses It. He is the producer of home runs and three-baggers and is the recipient of adulation and automobiles. Ho is Speaker and Jackson and Doyle and the world-famous Casey. The bat- •choker Is different, says the New Orleans Times-Democrat He is the man who slides bis hand well down onto the swell of the bat, where, with « longer leverage, he can make a <iulck jab at the speeding sphere. He i s content if he scratches a sacrifice or beats a bunt down to first. Nobody loves him, but he wins many a ball game, thongh even in the midst of victory he feels that the manager has the toboggan under him and Is only waiting for a bonehead play to touch the trigger and send him to tho minor league. The free-hitter also reaches the minors in due time, but be does so with head erect and chest expanded, for the free-hitter is such by nature and no reverse can quell hfm.

There have been no eating apples within the range of any but the fattest pocketbook for many seasons, while the character of the pie apple is such aB to require uncommon aptitude/ for the composition of the crust to make a pie fit to eat; or else tho cost of tho filling has required that the pie must be nearly all crust. A big crop is now in prospect and new orchards are coming to fruitage every season; such is the temptation of the soaring quotations, says the Providence Journal. At this juncture one of the orators at an apple growers' convention has the nerve to propose an advertising campaign, lest there be overproduction. Does not this proposal mean that the growers are determined to maintain, prices as the supply Increases? Something is said about instructing women in the theory that eating apples beautifies the complexion. That ought to create a market, to be sure. But there need be no fear of lack of demand. Apples will need no advertising If the price Is tight. And any artifice calculated to maintain high prices should be frowned upon by tho hard-pressed rxrasumer. ANN ARBOR DEFEATS CORNELL 20 TO 7 IN GAME OF FOOT BALL AT THE U. OF M. EATON COUNTY ELECTION CASE UP TO T H E LEGISLATURE. The Upper Peninsula Produced One* fifth of the Copper of 1911 With 219,840,000 Out of a Total of 1,097,232,000. Maize and Blue Defeats Cornell. Strategy, perfectly timed and perfectly executed, accomplished for Michigan what mere strength and determination never could have done— accomplished the overthrow of the "Big Red Team" from Cornell by a score of 20 7. That is rather a top-heavy score and one might get the impression that it was perfectly easy and pleasant for Michigan to whip these men from Ithaca. Don't be misled Kentle reader, into thinking anything of the sort. It was anything but a one-sided game and for at least 45 of its 60 minutes things looked as though-Michigan would be very glad to call it quits with the score a tie. But Michigan's team was living something down an 1 was out to show that the reputation of Maize and Blue elevens for fighting until the final whistle blows in a merited one, that dreadful gume at Pennsylvania notwithstanding. The last five minutes of play proved the most vivid of the afternoon and it saw Michigan turn probable tie, which pleases nobody and leaves a bad taste in the mouths of all concerned into a splendid victory with something to" spare. Pleads Guilty of Trying to Kilt Teddy. John 8chrank, who tried to kill Col. Roosevelt in Milwaukee on the night of Oct. 14, pleaded guilty before Judge AugUBt C. Backus in the municipal court. An insanity commission was appointed to examine Schrank's mental condition. Schrank was brought into the court room heavily manacled and between two deputy sheriffs. Police and depu-; ties were scattered in the room and the crowd, which jammed the chamber, was forced to keep at a distance- The would-be slayer, who is small, appeared heirless as he meekly shuffled in between his guards. If Schrank Is found sane, Col. Roosevelt will come to testify at hi3 trial. If he is insane, he will bo sent to a hospital. Schrank made his plea in a low voice, hardly audible more than a short distance trom the judge's bench. "Did you Intend to murder and kill, with malice aforethought, one Theodore Roosevelt, as Is charged against vou. and do you plead guilty or not guilty?" asked District Attorney Zabel, as Schrank stood before the bar. "I plead guilty of shooting the man if that is what you mean," answered Schrank. "Did you intend to kill Theodoro Roosevelt," repeated Zabel. "I shot Theodore Roosevelt to kill him. I think all men trying to keep themselves in office should be killed; they become dangerous. I did not do it because he was a candidate of the Progressive party." Recent Investigations Into the hours of work by officials of tho French department of navigation have brought to light a record in government employment in the shape of an official whose dally "hours of duty" amount to exactly two minutes. This man dwells at a place on the Belgian frontier, and his arduous labors consist In fetching from one office a list of the number of barges that have entered French territory the previous twenty. four hours and handing the said list ^ at another office, if the position be sinecure, the pay is not high, the numeration amounting a $1.40 a month. Two Candidates Claim Same Office. The action of the Eaton county board of canvassers in counting the vote that gave County Clerk E. G. Pray a plurality of 567 for the office of representative, following a protest filed by Dwight Backus, the democrat nominee, alleging that the state constitution prohibited a county officer from aspiring to a scat in the legislature, will result In the contest being carried to the house at Lansing. Mr. Pray claims that his resignation, to take effect Nov. 4, was Hied with Judge of Probate Dann, on Nov. 2, and for that reason the section mentioned does not apply. Mr. Backus contends that the county clerk was ineligible as far back as the primaries anti will present affidavits to show that Mr. Pray continued to act as county clerk up to the time the protest was tiled with the board, Tuesday. Nov. 12. Larz Anderson Envoy to Japan. Larza Anderson, of Washington, now United States minister to Belgium, has been named ambassador to Japan to Bucceed Charles Page Bryan, whose resignation was announced a lew days ago.

Sultan Refuses to Gr*nt Peace Terms. Whether direct nearo negotiations between Turkey Bulgaria have ceased, the French government WHS unable to learn. That Turkey a«Ved for terms Is known positively. The general impression is that Bulgaria named sev. eral conditions th^t the sult'-m would not grant, and that the evch^nge of views consequenly was discontinued. The guess seemed to be borne out by a request from the Turkish representatives asking wlnt the rowers have done concerning the Turkish request that they ask the Balkan allies for the terms of r.n armistice.

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS. Wilson Announces Call for Extra Session Before April 15. "I shall call congress together in extraordinary session not later than April 15. I shall do thiB not only because I think that the pledges of the party ought to be redeemed as promptly as possible but also I know it to be in the interest of business that all uncertainty as to what the particular items of tariff revision are to be should be removed as soon as possible—WOODROW WILSON." President-elect Wilson took the first important step towards carrying out his pledges to the people, when he announced he would call an extra session of congress not later than April 15, instead of waiting six months for the regular session. The president-elect gave out his statement before embarking on his vacation for two reasons. First, as declared in his statement, he desired to remove any uncertainty that might be injurious to the business interests of the country. The second reason was purely selfish,' he remarked. He wants to spend his vacation in quiet and peace. He realized, he said, that unless the question was settled at this time, he would be beselged continually for a definite statement on the subject. Simultaneously with the issuance of his statement the president-elect gave permission to say he is to spend his vacation in Bermuda. He sailed on the steamship Bermudian Saturday afternoon. The Bermudian is booked solidly and the nresldent-elect has been assured that there are no politicians among the passengers. The president- elect will spend four weeks on the . island, returning to New York, Dec. 16. He will be accompanied by Mrs. Wilson and the Misses Jessie and Eleanor Wilson.

It was an opportune speech, heartful) and resonant with good fellowship. • And, as it was specially intended for American ears, the audience, com prised largely of BO many American settlers in Canada, the time and place could not have been better chosen. It was In reply to an address of welcome tendered to him at the pretty city of Macleod, with the foothill ot the Rockies as a setting, and the great wheat fields between, and In fact all around the place as the foreground, that His Highness, true to the best interests of the country and to those of the Americans who choose to make Canada their home, said to part: "I am well aware that among those whom I am now addressing, there aro a very great proportion who were not: born under the British flag. Most of these will have realized by now that residence under that flag implies no disabilities. All we ask Is that the laws of Canada should be obeyed. "With this provision every one Us free to come and go, to marry, to live and to die as seems best to him, and. as it pleases Providence.

"Oer American cousins are welcome from over the border. Thrice we welcome our Canadian and British brothers, who return to the Union Jack, after living under the Stars and Stripes. "HiBtory is repeating itself. For many years hundreds of young Britishers have sought fortune in tho western States. Time has brought, about a change, and the tide has s e t in the other direction, bringing across the frontier numbers of our neighbors to whom we are glad to return hospitalities. "One of the chief dispensers of such hospitality in proportion to its popo-j lation has, as we have said, changed! its character from an important cattle town to a thriving wheat producing: area. "What it has. lost from the picturesque point of view, it has gained in: the material side, and I wish, in conclusion, to express the hope that the1 prosperity which has evinced itself here for the past ten years, may con-j tinue unabated in the future.*" There is no reason why at a hun-i dred places on this educative, instructive and interesting trip of His Royal Highness he might not have express-; ed himself in the same terms, and o n each occasion, addressed large gatherings of Americans who are now set-) tied on the prairies of Western Cana*) da.—Advertisement.

The Vanishing Portrait. Evelyn Grayson, meeting mo on the oW PoBton Po8t ttoad, between G r e ^ wich and Stamford, gave me u luesaage from her uncle. That is ibe logical beginning of thir story; though to make everything quite clear from the start it may be better to hark fcack a few mouths, to the day on which Evelyn Grayson and I first met Then, as now, we were each driving our own car; she. a great sixty horse* power machine, all glistening pale yellow, and 1, a compact Bix-cylinder raoer, of dull dusty gray. But we were not on any such broad, roomy thoroughfare as the Boston Poat Road. On ilie contrary we were short-cutting through a narrow, rough lane, beset by Btone walls and interrupted at intervals by a series of sharp and treacherous angles. 1 know ! shall never forget the momentary impression I received. Out of the golden sunlight, it seemed to me, there had emerged suddenly a tableau of Queen Titania on a topaz throne—the fairest Queen Titania imagiation ever conjured—and I, in my mad, panting speed was aboTit to crash into the gauzy fabric of that dream creation and rend it with brutal, torturing onrush of relentless, bard-driven nickel steel. 1 take no credit to myself for what I did. Volition was absent. My hands acted on an impulse above and beyond all tardy mental guidance. For just a flashing Instant the gray nose of my car rose before me, as in strenuous assault it mounted half way to the coping of tbe roadside wall. I felt my seat dart away from beneath me, was conscious of my body in swift, unsupported aerial flight, and then—but it is idle to attempt to set down the conglomerate sensations of that small fraction of a second. When I regained cou- «ciousness, Queen Titania was kneein g in the dust of the lane beside me —a very distressed and anxious Queen Titania, with wide, startled eyes, and quiverlngly sympathetic lips—and about us were a half dozen or more of the vicinal country folk. Between that meeting in mid-May and this meeting on the old Boston Post Road in mid-September, there had been others, of course; for Queen Titania, whose every-day name, as I have said, was Evelyn Grayson, was 5 the niece and ward of my nearest neighbor, Mr. Robert Cameron, a gen- I tleman recently come to reside on * what for a century and more had been known as the old Townsbury Estate, extending for quite a mile along the Connecticut shore of Long Island Bound In the neighborhood of Greenwich. The intervening four months had witnessed the gradual growth of as near an approach to intimacy between Cameron and myself as was possible considering the manner of man that Cameron was. By which statement I mean to Imply naught to my neigh* tor's discredit He was In all respects admirable—a gentleman of education and culture, widely traveled, of exalted ideals and noble principles to which foe gave rigid adherence. Bat—I was about to qualify this by describing him aa reserved and taciturn. I fear, though, to give a wrong impression.

It was no gossamer fairy, but Hebe, the Goddess of Tooth, with creamy akin mad red Una and a lilting melody of voice: "What ho, Sir Phi Up! We are well jBtet!" v And thea ebe told me that her U e d e ttobert bad telephoned for ma, leaving a w i s e s t ! with my man, btddiag me eeme to him at jay earliest leisure. "Why not come for dinner?" she added; and her eyea gave aeceut to her words. "But you?" I queried; for her car was headed in the opposite direction "I am going alone to Norton. I have a hamper in the tonneau for that poor O'Malley family. I shall be back in time. We dine at half-past seven, you know. You'll come?" "Of course I'll come." I answered her. I think she must have heard more in my voice than the simple words, for her lids drooped, for just a breath, and the color flamed sudden below her lowered lashes. But, after all, I saw very little of her that evening. It is true that she sat on my right at table, piquanrly, youthfully beautiful in the softly tinted light which filtered through the pink and silver filigree candlo-shades, but the atmosphere of the dinner was tinged by a vague, unreasoning constraint as from some ominously brooding yet undefinable influence which overhung the three of us. And when the coffee and liqueurs were served, employing some Blender pretext for her going, she bade us good-night, and left us, not to return. In Justice to Cameron, I must add that ho appeared least affected by— and certainly in no wise responsible for—the pervading infestlvlty. He had been, indeed, rather less demure than was often his wont, chatting with almost gayety concerning Evelyn's new role of Lady Bountiful and of her Norton beneficiaries. As for the subject upon which he desired to consult me, it had not been so much as mentioned; so in looking back, it seems impossible that matters of which neither Evelyn nor I was at the time informed could have exerted an effect, save through Cameron's undetected, subconscious inducement. Even after his niece had withdrawn, Cameron continued for a time to diBcns8 with me topics of general and public, rather than personal, Import. He spoke, I remember, of a series of articles on "The Commercial Resources of the United States," the publication of which bad Just begun in The Week, of which I am owner and editor; and though I fancied at first that it might be in this connection he wished to consult me, I very soon discerned that he was merely using n statement contained therein aa a text for certain views of his own on the conservation and development of the country's timber supply. Meanwhile my curiosity grew keener. It was natural, I suppose, that I should fancy Kyelyn involved in some way. IiJ fact I then attributed the depression during dinner to her knowledge of what her uncle and guardian purposed to say to me. Likewise I found In this conception the reason for her sudden and unusual desertion. Hitherto when I bad dined here Evelyn had remained with us while we smoked our cigarettes, leading us at length to the music room, where for a glad half-hour the rich melody of her youthful sweet contralto voice mingled In pleasing harmony with her own piano accompaniment And while I vainly made effort to Imagine wherein I might have laid my* self open to the disapproval of this most punctilious of guardians-—for I expected nothing less than a studiously polite reference to some shortcoming of which I had been unwittingly guilty—I momentarily lost track of my host's discourse. Emerging from my abstraction It waa with a measure of relief that I heard him say lag; "I think you told me oboe, Clyde, that you rather prided yourself on your ability to get a line oa one's character from his handwriting. That's why I telephoned for you this afternoon. I have received aa anoey moua letter." He was leaning forward, a little constrainedly, his left hand grtpntag the arm of hie chair, the fingers of his right hand toying with tbe stem of bis gold-rimmed Bohemian liqueur glass. "An anonymous letter!" I repeated, with a deprecatory smile. "Anonymous letters should be burned and forgotten. Surely you're not bothering about me writer i X wish 1 could put before you aa exact reproduction of Gamerea'a face aa I then saw It; those nigged outlines, the heritage of Scottish ancestry, softened and refiaed by a brilllaat intellectuality; tbe sturdy chia and square jaw; tbe heavy underttp meeting the upper hi scarcely perceptible curve; the broad, homely nose; the small, but alert, gray eyea, shining through the round lenses of his spectacles; the high, broad, sloping, white brow and the receding border of dark brown, slightly giisaled hair. That, super, flcially, waa the face. But I aaw more than that la the visage of one naturally brave I saw a battle waged behind a mask—a battle between courage and fear; and I aaw fear wis. Then the mask became opaque once more, and Cameron, giving me smile for smile, waa replying. "There are anonymotts letters aad anonymous letters. Ordinarily yog* method la the one 1 shootd purene. Indeed I may say that when, about a month or so ago, I received a communication uf that character, I did almost precisely what you now advise. Certainly I followed one-half of your prescription—1 forgot the letter; though, for lack of fire in the dog days, I did not burn it, but thrust it into a drawer with an accumulation of advertising circulars." My apprehension lest Evelyn and I were personally affected had been by now quite djssipated. It was perfectly apparent to me that Cameron alone was involved; yet my anxiety was none the less eager. Already my sympathy and co-operation were enlisted. I could only hope that he had mentally exaggerated the gravity of the situation, yet my judgment of him was that his inclination would be to err in the opposite direction. "And now something has happened to recall it to your memory?" "Something happened very shortly after its receipt," he replied. "Something very puzzling. But in spite of that, I was inclined to treat tiie matter as a bit of clever chicanery, devised for the purpose, probably, of extortion. As such, I again put it from my thoughts; but, today I received a second letter, and I admit 1 am interested. The affair has features which make it, indeed, uncommonly perplexing." I fear my imagination was sluggish. Although, in spite cf his dissemblance, I saw that he was strangely moved by these happenings, I could fancy no very terrifying concomitants of the rather commonplace facts he had narrated. For anonymous letters 1 had ever held scant respect. An ambushed enemy, I argued, is admittedly a coward. And so I was in danger of growing impatient. "When the second letter came," he continued, bringing his left hand forward to join bis right on the dazzling white ground of the table's damask, "I searched among the circulars for the first, and found it. I want you to see them both. The writing is very curious— I have never seen anything Just like it—and the signature, if I may call it that, is still more singular. On the first letter, I took it for a blot. But on the second letter occurs the same black blur or smudge of identical outline." Of course I thought of the Black Hand. It was the natural corollary, seeing that the newspapers had been giving us a surfeit of Black Hand threats and Black Hand outrages. But, somehow, 1 did not dare to voice it. To have suggested anything so ordinary to Cameron In his present mood would have been to offer him offense. And when, at the next moment, he drew from an inner pocket of his evening coat two thin, wax-like sheets of paper and passed them to me, I was glad that I had kept silence. For tbe letters were no rough, rude scrawls of an Illiterate Mafia or Camorra. In phraseology as well as~ In penmanship they were impressively unique. "If you don't mind," Cameron was saying, "you might read them aloud." He rose and switched on a group of electric wall lights at my back, and I marked for the hundredth tlmo his physique—his towering height, his powerful shoulders, his leanness of hip and sturdy stralghtneas of limb. He did not look the forty years to which he confessed. One of the long French windows which gave upon the terrace stood ajar, aad before resuming his seat Cameron paused to close it, dropping over it the looped curtains of silver gray velvet that matched the walls. In tbe succeeding moment tbe room waa ghostly silent; and then, breaking against tbe stillness, was tbe sound of my voice, reading: "That which you have wrought shall in turn be wrought upon you. Take warning therefore of what shall happen on the seventh day hence. Aa sun follows sun, so follows all that Is decreed. The ways of our God are many. On the righteous he showers blessings; on tbe evil be poara misery.1' That was the first letter. The second began with the same sentence T h a t which you have wrought shall In turn be wrought upon you." But thero, though tbe similarity of tenor continued, tbe verbal Identity ceased. It went on: "Once more, as earnest of what te decreed, there will be shown unto yoa a symbol of our power. PrecaaUoa cannot avail. Fine words and a sarnU* lag countenance make not virtue. * And beneath each letter was tbe strange silhouette which Cameron had mentioned. It is difficult for me to convey tbe moat meager Idea* of tbe emotional Influence which these two brief communications exerted. They seemed to breathe a grim spirit of implacable | Hsmsela far in excess of anything to I be found in the euphemism of the written worda. When I had finished the reading of them aloud, ramcmn» leaning far back la hie chair, ant silently thoughtful, his eyea narrowed behind his gtsaass, hat ftsei anparently upon tbe Ughts behind me. And so, reluctant to interrupt his reverie, i started to read them through a^ain slowly, this time to myself, fixing each sentence indelibly in mind us I proceeded. But before I had quite come to the end, my companion waa speaking. "Well?" it<> «aid. And the light cheeriness of his tone was not only In marked contrast with his grave absorption of a moment before, but in jarring discord with my own present mood. "Well? What do you make of them?" My annoyance found voice in my response. "Cameron," I begged, "for God's sake be serious. T1;1B doesn't seem to me exactly :i matter to be merry over. I don't want to alarm you, but somehow I feel that these—" and I shook the crackling, wax-like sheets, "that these cannot be utterly Ignored." "But they are anonymous," he retorted, not unjustly. "Anonymous letters should be burned and rorgot- 1 ten." "There are anonymous letters and anonymous letters," I gave him back, in turn. "These are of an unusually convincing character. Besides, they —" And then I paused. I wished to tell him of that elusive encompasament of sinister portent which had so impressed me; of that malign foreboding beyond anything warranted by the words; but I stumbled in the effort at expression. "Besides," I started again, and ended lamely, "I don't like the look and the feel of them." And now he was as serious as I could wish. "Ah!" he cried, leaning forward again and reaching for the letters. "You have experienced it, too! And you can't explain it, any more than I? It is something that grips you when you read, like an icy hand, hard as steel, in a glove of velvet. It's always between the lines, reaching out, and nothing you can do will stay it, I thought at first I imagined it, but the oftener I have read, the more I have felt its clutch. The letters of themselves are nothing. What do you suppose I care for veiled threats of that sort? I'm big enough to take care of myself, Clyde. I've met peril in about every possible guise, in every part of the world, and I've never really known fear. Uut this—this IB different. And the worst of it is, I don't know why. I can't for the life of me make out what it is I'm afraid of." He had gone very pale, and his strong, capable hands, which toyed with the two letters, quivered and j twitched in excess of nervous tension, Then, with a finger pointing to the ink-stain at the bottom of one of the sheets, he asked: "What does that look llko to you?" I took the letter from him, and scrutinizing the rude figure with concentrated attention for a moment, ventured the suggestion that it somewhat resembled a boat. "A one-masted vessel, squarerigged," he added, in elucidation. "Exactly." "New turn It upside down." I did ao. "Now what do you see?" 'The head of a man wearing a helmet.** The resemblance was very marked. "A straw helmet, apparently/* he amplified, "such as is worn in the Orient. And yet the profile is not that of an Oriental. Now, look at your ves* sel again." And once more I reversed the sheet of paper. "Can it be a Chinese junk?" I asked. "It might be a sailing proa er banca," he returned, "such as they use in the South Pacific. But whatever it Is, I can't understand what It has to do with me or I with it." 1 was still studying the black daub, when he said: "But you haven't told me about the handwriting. What can you read of tbe character of tbe writerT" "Nothing." I answered, promptly. "It Is curious penmanship, as you say —heavy and regular and upright, with some strangely formed letters; especially the f*s and the p's; but it tells me nothing." "But I thought—" be began. T h a t I boasted? So I did. When one writes aa one habitually writes it la very easy. These letters, however, are not in tbe writer's ordinary hand. The writing la as artificial aa though yon, for example, had printed a note in Roman characters. Were they addressed In the same hand I" "Precisely.* "What was the post-mark?" "They bore no post-mark. That is another strange circumstance. Yet they were with my mail. How they came there I have been unable to as* certain. The people at the post office naturally deny that they delivered anything unstamped, as these were; and Barrie, the lad who fetches the letters, has no recollection of these Nor has Checkabeedy, who sorts the mall here at the house. But each of them lay beside my plate at break* fast—the first on tbe fourteenth of August;.the eeeoasl this morning, tbe 1 fourteenth of September." "And they were uoi delivered hy messenger?" "So far as I Scan ttanj, no." "It is very odd," I commented, with feeble banality. I took the letters from his hands once more, and held them in turn between my viBlon and the candle-light, hoping, perchance, to discover a water- mark in the paper. But I was not rewarded. "You" examined the envelopes carefully, I presume?" waB my query as 1 returned the sheets to the table "More than carefully," he answered. "But you shall see them, if you like. 1 found no trace of any identifying mark." Thus far he had made' no further mention of the "puzzling happening" which followed the receipt of the first letter, and in the interest provoked by the letters themselves I had foreborne to question him; but now as the worda "seventh day hence" fell again under my eye, standing out, as it were, from the rest of thu script which lay upturned on the tabU- before im\ i was conscious of a stimulated concern, and so made inquiry. "I wish you would tell mr, llrst, whether anything really did occur on the seventh day." "I was coining to that," he replied; but it seemed to me that prompt though his response was, there was u shade of reluctance in his manner. Then he rose, abruptly, and saying: "Suppose we go into my study, Clyde," led the wuy from the dining room, across the great, imposing, grained and fretted hall to that comparatively small mahogany and green symphony wherein he was wont to spend most of his indoor hours. It was always a rather gloomy room at night, .with Its high dark celling, its heavy and voluminous olivo tapestry hangings, wholly out of keeping, it seemed to me, with the season—and its shaded lights confined to the vicinity of the massive polished, and gilt-ornamented writing table of the period of the F»lrst Empire. And it impressed me now, in conjunction with Cameron's promised revelation, as more than ever grim and awesome. 1, remember helping myself to a cigar from, the humidor which etood on the antique cabinet in the corner near the door. I was in the act of lighting It when Cameron spoke. "I want you to sit In this chair," ho said, indicating one of sumptuous upholstery which stood beside the writing table, facing the low, long bookcases lining the opposite wall. I did as he bade me, while ho remained standing. "Do you. by any chance," ho asked, "remember a portrait which hung above the book-shelves?" I remembered it very well. It was a painting of himself, done some years back. Uut now my guao sought It in vain. "Certainly," I answered. "It hung there," pointing. "Quito right. Now I want you to observe the shelf-top. You sec how crowded It is." It was indeed crowded. Bronze busts und statuettes; yachting and golf trophies in silver; framed photographs; a score of odds and ends, souvenirs gathered the world over. There was scarcely an inch of space unoccupied. I had frequently observed this plethora of ornament and resented It. It gave to that part of the room tbe semblance of a curiosity shop. When I had nodded my assent, ho went on: "On the afternoon of Friday, AuguBt twenty-first, seven days after tho receipt of that first letter, I was sitting where you are sitting now. I was reading, and deeply Interested. I bad put the letter, as I told you. entirely out of my mind. I had forgotten it, absolutely. Tuat seventh-day business I had regarded—-if I regarded it at all —as idle vaporing. That this was the afternoon of the seventh day did not occur to me until afterwards, I recall that I paused in reading to ponder a paragraph that was not quite clear to me, and that while in contemplation I fixed my eyes upon that portrait I remember that, because it struck me, then, that tbe flesh tints of the face had grown muddy and that the thing would be better for a cleaning. I re* call, too. that at that moment, the lit* tie clock, yonder, struck three. I resumed my reading; but presently, an* other statement demanding cogitation, I lowered my book, and once more my eyes rested on the portrait But not on the muddy flesh tints, because*—0 he paused and leaned forward, towards me, speaking with impressive empha* sis. "Because," be repeated, "there were no flesh tints there. Because there waa no bead nor face there!" I sat up suddenly, open-mouthed, speechless. Only my wide eyes made question. "Cut from the canvas," he went on, in lowered voice, "clean and sharp from crown to collar. And the bands of the clock pointed to twelve minutes past three." - (TO BS COWT1WUKP.)

From 1892 to 1902 the United States bureau of education introduced 1,280 European reindeer into Alaska at a time when tb« natives were threaten* ed with starvation. At the present time these herds have' increased to a total of 33,629 bead. Their meat is in great demand by both whites and natires, and their skins supply the best winter 'clothing. It Is expected that the exportation of reindeer meat | will soon beooxne an important industry. Abore all, the reindeer has proved a most efficient civilising agency. The success of the Alaskan reindeer enterprise Induced Dr. WU* fred Grenfell. in 1908. to import 500 reindeer from Lapland into Labrador. where they have now increased te about 1,200, and are a great boon to the natives.

County School Director's Meeting Despite the bad weather on Thursday of last week, fifty-two of the directors of Livingston coanly attended a very interesting meeting at Howell conducted by C. 8. Lasher pi the department of education. Some of the directors went borne wiser men than when they came. Mearly every director for this year was present. Every townshib was represented, Cofaoctah and Green Oak having the largest representation. Mr. Lasner nf^ed the directors to have a depository for rue district funds and insist that the banks yiv« a bond to the district and in tbis way relieve the treasurer and safeguard the district money. The department insists on eyery treasurer giving bonds and it this is not done within 10 days attei the treasurer accepts the office, the office is vacated and the the two remaining officers are to fill the vacancy at once. It any treasurer of thii* county has failed to file bonds with the various director* cf this county, the case should be reported at once to the Superintendent of the Public Instruction. Each treasurer must keep the dig trict money separate from all other money. All district money must be deposited in '.he bank as "John Smith treasurer of dist, No. etc." No bond can be signed by any of the other officers. No member of the township board can be a school officer. Whichever office he accepts last vacates the otber office, A teacher cannot teach above the 8th grade in a one room school without special permission from the department. All 9th ffrade pupils must have six months work in A<»ricufture.the textbook chosen waa Productive Farming by J. B. Lipp^ncott Co , Philadelphia. Mr. Lasher urpred the plea to instruct oar senator and representative to vote for state uniform text books. This will do do away with one book company coming into our county and changing our text books every five years and neglecting to change books that need changing,simply changing the books that will bring the most money to the company. Directors ware urged to close 9cbools.wbere there were Jess than 10 pupils and pay tuition and transportation to another district. A legal meeting of the board can not be called over the telephone. A written notice served 24 hours previous and on each member of the board is necessary for a legal meeting. Two members ot the board can hold a meet in», if the other members fail to come after being duly notified. The necessary qualifications of voters at a school meeting are persons having lived three months in the district previous to the meeting and have property assessed for school taxes or be the legal patent or guardian of children. No one not tax paying electors can vote a tax upon the district; no person not having reached tbe age of 21 and whose name appears upon the assessment roll can hold a school office. School officers must qualify within 10 days after be is elected, otherwise the office i? vacaut. The corupulsory school law compels tbe child to be in school every day. In ca.su of si-kness tbe truant officer can (HIiiipel a phytic;,; ^animation. After a patent has been notined of tbe absence ot bis child trom school tbe truant officer is to cause an arrest and in nowise can the court fail to inflict punishment of not less than five dollars nor mora than fifty dollars or imprisonment in the coupty or city jail tor not less than two or more than ninety days or both such fine and imprisonment in the discretion of the court. Please *ee that your children are in school within twenty-four hours after being notified and save tbe truant officer and the county all tbis trouble. The board under the u*w law is responsible for the hind of a school maintained in your district as tbey are not dependent on the voters to raise money to keep your school room in good condition and WHII supplied with material to work with. A good ventilating system and a sanitary fountain was urged for every school. Tbe ceilings of the school room should bf» tinted buff and th« sides green, these are restful colors for the eyes. The care of the outhouses comes under the jurisdiction of the truant officer; it toey are not put in proper shape, upon being notified by tbe commissioner, tbe truant officer should do tbis and charge tbe expense to the district. Every director should make the teacher responsible for the care of the ochool property in her contract In this way the district will help to make a better-school. No reason why a teacher should not demand just as good care of school property as the property in the home. It tbe people at annual meeting fail to fix the length of the term for the school year, tbe board may do so. Tbe teacher has complete jurisdiction over tbe children Irom the time tbey leave their borne in the morning until tbey reach the fame at night and may punish children tor any misdemeanor committed on the road. The teachet has tbe same right to punish that the parent has. Mill t8x and building and repair fund goes in the general fund. The new reports show only four funds: primary, general library and building and site fund in ca.-* a new school house is to be built. No building and repair fund is needed now as the board can make repairs out of tbe general fund. T.

No heat wasted on the outside air. : Maximum baking power is another result of this feature. The Heat force travels down one flue at side of oven» circulates entire bottom and returns by another side flue, thereby heating every inch of available oven space. : Come in and examine our Duel Raw SpttUimi.

The fact that a room never seems quite complete for winter use until the curtains are up makes one think of those accessories almost the first of all. It is this problem that takes one on long, tiring ambles about town looking at every kind of curtain that is made and often asking for something that haB not been made or is not made any more,.... Fashions change in curtains, as in all things else. The regulation parlor lace curtain is still in use to a great extent, but it Is not so popular as it was in the days when everything was draped back or plicity is maintained. For outside appearance of the house it is preferable to have the white curtains covering the window. They may be put on rings in order to be easily pushed back, or if there is no necessity for this the hem at the top should be made wide enough to slip the small brass rod through. TMB hitter arrangement will make the curtains hang In better lines, and will save much time and labor at laundry time. The window will look much better from the outside if theBo curtains hang next the glass, the shade being inside, next the room, and for both looks and cleanliness should just escape touching the sill. When the windows are open and the curtain blowing back and forth they will not pick up so much dust and become so soiled along the lower edge.

Will the return of the pannier bring back the tournuro and looped back curtains? Wo hope not. The simple dignity of curtains hung in straight lines, whether entirely covering the windows or pushed back to the sides, haa won general favor throughout the country. It is probably (hie to the advent, of the so-called mission style of furnishing, but because of its simplicity ft lends itself to any style and period of decoration. Plain net curtains or net effects cannot bo surpassed for charm of durability. They are made with plain wide herns and simple Hattenberg or cluny edgings, or embellished with interesting medallions and insertions of various sorts.

The most brilliant shades are fancied for stockings, and shoes have almost invariably the fancy tops. The train may form an integral part of the gown or it may hang a separate appendage from the waist liae. There is a great fancy at the preaent time to show the ankle in the opening of the buttoned part. This is the outcome of the rage for colored hose. —A charming diagonal effect -hr by a jabot of lace starting at one side of the waist line and falling down the entire length of the skirt and carried out upon the train. Chameleon gowns for women, changing color with the intensity of the light, ure predicted by Dr. Giacomo Ciamician of Bologna, addressing the eighth international congress of applied chemistry, recently in session at the College of the City of New York. "Photographic substances," said Doctor Ctamician, "which often assume very intense colors in the light and return in the darkness to their primitive colors, may well attract the attention of fashion. The dress of a woman BO prepared would change color according to the intensity of the light. Passing from darkness to light, the colors would brighten, thus conforming automatically to the environment, the last word of fashion for the future." Another of Doctor Ciamician's suggestions wati that the world prepare to UBO the daily solar energy, equal to 6,000,000,000 tons of coal, instead of the mere 1,000,000,000 tons of real coal which is mined per year. "Out of the arid lands there will cipring up Industrial colonies without smoke and without smokestacks," he said, picturing what wtll happen when uli the coal Is gone; "forests of glass tubes will extend over the plains and glasB buildings will rise everywhere. Inside these will take place the photo-chemical processes that hitherto have been the guarded secrets of the planets, but that will have been mastered by human industry*- 1-^° and civilization will continue as long as the sun shines. If our black and nervous civilization, based on coal, shall be followed by a quieter civilization of solar energy, that will not be harmful to progress and to human happiness." To Freshen Veils. To freshen veils or faded silk scarfs, let them lie for awhile in gasoline into which has been mixed a small portion of oil paint of the desired shade. To renew slimsy lace or mesh veils, dissolve two teaspconfuls of mucilage in two of hot water. Pin the veil to a cloth, exactly as a cur- ' tain is stretched, and apply thir, liquid with a flat paste brush, or small paint , brush, and leave until dry. The partition or "wall" of such a room is generally not high enough for the average bureau or dresser with its swivel mirror; no old-fashioned bureau without a mirror is high enough for a chiffonier. And so a small one is generally placed against this wall. This takes up a. lot of space, sticking out into the already small room. This can be avoided if, when the room is done off, instead of cutting MAKING THE BEST OF ROOM With a Little Care and Arrangement Much Extra Space In Attic May Be Contrived. There are thousands of thousands of homes where attic rooms are "done off," and in almost erery instance a lot of space is wasted This can be overcome in most cases. Majria&'a room in a top floor or "attic" is generally done by paneling or plastering the walls, and where the roof slopes down to the floor, or almost to the floor, a large place is cut oft by building * short partition down from the roof to the floor. Simple But Valuable Method for Sav* Jng Spate in Attic Rooms. off this ppace back of the short partition, a series of drawers is built in. The bottom drawer would be deep and wide and the other three or four drawers would taper up, the top' one being quite narrow as the roof is sloping toward this ihort partition all the time. With two such* built-ra bureaus or sets of drawers the entire floor space of the room remains for the bed, chairs and table, and yet there are plenty of drawers handy.

Caldron Custatds—At several of the shops there are little individual custard dishes made in the shape of the witches' caldron. These are in a brilliant yellow, but if It is impossible to get them the usual round dishes will do. Fill the little dishes with a nice baked custard mixture, bake them until brown and put them on the ice. Serve the custards in the ramekins, placed in a circle on a large round dish. In the center cf the ring stand up a hickory nut doll, dressed as a witch in crinkled tissue paper. Punch—To every quart of sweet apple cider add a bottle of club soda. Have ready some thinly sliced tart apples and Borne sprigs of fresh mint. Bruise the mint leaves, allowing a little sprig for each glass. Several of the apple slices must also be put into each glass, and the punch may contain much sugar and a little lemon juice, if liked. Mar8hmallow Ghosts—Toast a lot of marahmallow drops and, while each one is piping hot, drop it onto a little round, crisp ginger snap. These can be prepared by the company of a Hallowe'en gathering, and most young people find the making of^-the- "ghosts" the greatest fun.

Enterprising. In a section of Wat ington, says Harper's Magazine, where there are a number of restaurants, one enterprising concern has displayed in great illuminating letters, "Open all Night." Next to It was a restaurant bearing with equal prominence the legend: "We Never Close." Third in order was a Chinese laundry, in a little, low-framed, tumbledown hovel; and upon the front of this building was the sign in great scrawling letters: "Me Wakee, Too." • No Strangers Allowed. Frank H. Hitchcock, the postmaster general of the United States, takes the deepest interest in even the smallest details of the postal service. One evening he was at the Union station in Washington, when he decided to go into one of the railway mail service cars to see how the mail matter was being handled. Being a tall man and very athletic, he easily swung himself from tho platform into the car, but be did not find it an easy matter to stay put. A burly postal clerk grabbed him by the shoulders, propelled him toward the side door, and practically ejected him to the platform below. "What do you mean by that?" asked Hitchcock indignantly. "I mean to keep you out of this car," replied the clerk roughly. "That fellow Hitchcock has given us strict orders to keep all strangers out of these cars."—Popular Magazine. Rye Pancakes.

A great deal of our stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food. The stomach doe3 not digest any of the Btarchy food we eat—white bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.— these things ^ro digested in the small intestine's, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind of food are overcome by excess of work, so that fermentation, indigestion, and a long train of ails result Too much fat also is hard to digest and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloated, heavy feeling. In these conditions a change from indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders In not only relieving the distress but in building up a strong digestion, clear brain and steady nerves. A Wash, woman writes: "About five years ago I suffered know now, from overeating starchy and greasy food. "I doctored for two years without any benefit. The doctor told me there was no cure for me. I could not eat anything without suffering severe pain in my back and sides, and I became discouraged.

PATOITSSaE^H BARN CLEANING MADE EASY 1 itter Carrier Is One of Greatest Labor 8aving Devices That Can Be Installed on Farm. The illustration represents the greatest labor saving device on this farm. The "dump" is 90 feet from the barn. At the dump we took a scoop scraper and scraped a pit 2½ by 3 feet deep in the center, rising to nothing at the edges, writes W. I. Raymond of St. Charles, la., in the Missouri Valley Farmer. This is as large as the manure pile is expected to be. This pit is iu clay soil and was smoothed and puddled until it is water tight, thus preventing any leakage of the liquid manure. There is 200 feet of track going along all gutters and into ail the box stalls through gates which open for that purpose and the litter carrier goes around Litter Carrier. corners on switches which work pei"- fectly. We have cleaned the entire barn, which shelters 32 head of dairy cattle, in 39 minutes, doing a good clean job and not hurrying, and the manure iB carried where it is not rotting your barn, fouling the air or making your yard muddy or filthy. Small boys enjoy cleaning the barn with this device. The loaded car is pushed to the door and given a vigorous shove. This sends it to the dump, where it trips automatically, dumps, and returns again. The cost ia not prohibitive, and there should be more of them in use. FEED QUESTION IS BIG ONE Possible for Dairy Farmer to Grow Balanced Rations—His Salvation Depends on Point. Molasses is used in many instances to diBguise very low-grade materials, including weed seeds. Farmers should buy the molasses and make their own mixtures. The feed question is a big one with dairy farmers, but it is not a serious problem to those who have their barns filled with good alfalfa hay, which can be grown successfully in every county in New Jersey, and which, on the average, would not cost ?10 a ton. I am Btrongly opposed to the purchase of low-grade feeds, unless the price is In proportion, which, unfortunately, is not now the case, as on the average feeds carrying from 5 to 12 per cent protein, and a high percentage of crude fiber, cost per ton practically the same as feed* which carry from 15 to 40 per cent protein, with a correspondingly high rate of digestibility and low percentage of crude fiber. You could do no better than to make a strong drive for high-grade protein feeds, more especially for use in tho dairy, and also for the larger growth and use of legumeB by dairy farmers. It is possible for the dairy farmer to grow balanced rations, or at least to get along with a very small purchase of feeds, says a writer in an exchange. The salvation of the dairy farmer depends largely upon this point. SECURE COMFORT IN MILKING To Prevent Cow From Switching Dirty, Wet Tall In One's Face Simple Device Is Arranged. In order to avoid the discomfort that comes from having a cow switch her dirty, wet tail in one's face when milking, a simple device like the one shown may be put in use, says the Iowa Homestead. Take a piece of heavy cord and after making a loop in each end attach one to the joist Cow's Tail Securely Held. at A and loop the other around the tall. When milking one end can be hooked over a nail or hook at B which wflbpuU the tail above harm's way. When hooked on nail or hook at A the oord should be Just long enough to hold the cow's tail out of the filth of the gutter.. Qtve Hens Freedom.

When a farmer's wife or daughter has a sufficient quantity of milk to be able to sell some butter, she ought by all means to find out just what sort of butter people will pay the highest price for and how the same is packed for Bale, and comply with these conditions. If they do so they will get all it is worth. On a Saturday not long since while I was waiting in the store several persons brought in butter, and with the exception of that from two customers (myself and one other), it was all made in large rolls, small rolls packed in jars, crocks and pans. Some was made in round prints and wrapped In oil paper, and some of the large rolls were also wrapped in oil paper. The clerk weighed a basket of eightpound prints, and they tipped the scaleB at six and oue-lialf pounds only. I asked him what he paid and he said 18 cents. I tasted the butter. It was good and the merchant would have been glad to pay 25 cents, tho same as I got, but he said he could not sell it for more than 18 cents because it had a mussy-looklng appearance. If each one of those people would pay $1.25 for a brick-shaped mold that will make an extra pound; 50 cents for a roll of parchment paper seven and one-half inches wide, tear the paper with the aid of a ruler into sheets ten and one-half inches long, dip these into cold water and wrap each pound neatly, pack them neatly in a clean box lined with white paper, I assure you that they can then get 25 cents per pound for their butter and the gain in price will give them a good many dollars to put into their pockets. It will ndt take ten minutes longer on churning day to do this, and the knowledge of putting a first-class article on the market in first-class condition will repay in itself. It is not best to use the oiled paper. It is impossible to handle the butter without tearing it and it makes the butter look any way but well. PRETTY LAMP SHADES BOTTLE SIPHON FOR LIQUIDS Handy for Use When Desirable to Remove Milk From Bottom Without Disturbing the Cream. For the separating of liquids of different gravities, a Connecticut man has designed the apparatus Hhown herewith. For the purpose of explanation it might be called a bottle siphon, though its uee, of course, is not restricted to milk and cream. But supposing it was desirable to remove milk from the bottom of a bottle without disturbing tho cream at the top. A cap fits over the mouth of the bot- A\- * " I V * • J i Milk Bottle Siphon. tie and a tube runs through the cap. In this tube are the long end of the siphon and a plunger for creating a pressure in the bottle to start the flow through the siphon. The long arm of the siphon can be thrust down to the bottom of the bottle and the liquid at the bottom can be drained off without disturbing that at the top. DATOYMOm Good pasture lands are the basis of successful dairy farming. To make dairying a success we must make it of interest to the boys. Get your cows started right for the coming cold weather and they will do well in winter. Summer or winter, a good dairy thermometer pays its way wherever dairy cows are kept. Give the cows a chance to get under the abed every night uo*. If-too-coMkeep them In the stable. Keeping the cows comfortable la a neglected point in the management of the herd during the fall months. The best cows are never cheap, and are seldom for sale; so it pays to give the heifer calves the best of care. The milk pall should *be the main consideratlpn, but not the sole one in judging the value of the dairy cow. Green fodder at the tail end of the summer is relished by the cow as ice cream is relished by the school children. The price of dairy animals is steadily rising, and the demand for good, young dairy cows is greater than the. •apply. The strong cow can eat and digest U r g * Mftjtgjties of food, and this is eesetJtfcTfill the production of big milk SOME NEW IDEA8 A N D NOVEL SHAPES \ R E O U T . »•••"• • Color Scheme Is Main Idea In Arrangement That Comes From Paris—Distinct and Sharp Outlines lit Favor* Paris has set the fashions in two novel shapes in lamp ghades. The soft Bilks of whiyjh they are made muHt be of the same tone, when not precisely of the exact shade, at> the room's color scheme. This silk, shallowly fluted, is fitted about the .oundation of ttiiubt wire in a rounded or distinctly pointed oblong. None of the shades are perfect circles, and in this respect their shapes differ radically from those formerly fashionable. Another marked difference iB that the top opening is not materially narrower than is the bottom opening. Consequently, the shade has a rather tall appearance, sometimes oddly at variance with the base of the lamp which it surmounts. On these uew shades there are no frills or ballet dancer skirt effects. Their outlines arc kept sharp and distinctive, and although they are trimmed with garlands of tiny MowerB and foliage in Hilk, these garnishings are placed about the center of the shade while the top and bottom edges are finished with the narrowest of headings. These finishings, attached with the utmost neatness and regularity, consist of. the dissected necklaces in composition or glass or coral, which cost only a small sum and may be obtained in any of the shadeB needed for one of these Empirn shades, as they, are called in Paris. Another way of making the rounded or distinctly pointed oblong shade is to stamp upon the plain silk a fine design in (Grecian pattern, and then embroider it with the tiniest of crystal beads in the same (one as the covering material, which, of course, is not liuted. The light of the lamp shining through th^ne beads gives them a charming radiance like unto jewels, and the design stands out in amazing relief. A shade thus embroidered should have its edges finished with the finest of silk cordage, and if this cannot, he obtained in a tone accurately matching the silk, white cordage should be specially dyed for the purpose, for the idea ia to make the beading on the center of (he article the chief attraction. Therefore, no other del ail must he prominent . Turnip Charlotte. Cook slices of carrot and turnips one-fourth of an inch thick until tender, drain and use them to line a buttered charlotte mold. Hoil white turnipH until tender; drain and press through a lino sieve. To one cup of puree add one-fourth of a teaspoon salt, a dash of white pepper, a grating of nutmeg, one-fourth of a cup of thick cream and, lastly, the stiff beaten whites of three eggs. Hake in the decorated mold, standing in a pan of hot water until the center becomes firm. Turn from the mold and serve with white sauce. vx^apioca Custard Pudding. One-half cup of pearl tapioca soaked over night in plenty of cold water. Next day throw off all the water, add one pint of milk, two eggs beaten, two even tablespoons of sugar, very little nutmeg, one-half Veuspoon salt, one evon tablespoon of butter. Bake slowly, so the custard will not boil. If it should boil it will be watery. Rice custard pudding is made the same, by omitting the tapioca and putting in three-quarters cup of boiled rice. Banana Cake. Three eggs, two cups sugar, one cup milk, two tablespoons butter (scant), one teaspoon soda (even), two teaspoons cream of tartar, essence of lemon, three even cups flour. Bake in four layers. Banana Pilling.—Mash three, or four bananas with a fork, juice of one lemon, two-thirdR cup sugar, one egg. Boll until thick, stir all the time. Spread between layers. Sprinkle confectioner's sugar on top. Finger Cakes. Beat four eggs very light; add two teaspoons of vanilla extract and two cups of granulated sugar. Stir in two cups of flour, sifted with three teaspoons of baking powder and a teaspoon of salt. Then add flour to make, a stiff dough. Roll into a thin sheet, sprinkle with sugar, cut out with a "finger" cutter and bake in a quick, oven. This amount, makes about forty little cakes, which are excellent with fruit or ice cream. . -To Freshen Carpet. If your carpet looks dusty and dull after being swept. add_two_teaspoon« fuis of ammonia to half a gallon bT cold water,/«rtng a clean cloth out of it, and with' this rub the carpet tho*> ougbfy alt over. Rinse your cloth frequently and change the water if it gets very dirty. Cske Tin Arrangement. When filling a cake tin remember that the center of the cake is the part which will usually be the highest, so spread the batter as much to the sides as possible, leaving a depression in the center; then tbe cake, when baked, will be level and much more convenient for icing. Onions and Psn. After frying onions, pour a little vinegar into the trying pan, lei it get hot, and it wiM remove all smol) from the pan.

There aro very, very tew persons in •all this wide world who do not need "comfort and Inspiration" at different periods or their lives. Just as the .young organist, alone In bis blindness. *roped in bis uncertain way for encouragement which no one thought <>t giving him, so, too. we who la ibor la our temporal blindness 'not only hope for, but really need the JdBdly word of cheer to help us through the burdens of our days, says the Charleston News and Courier The men who administer largo affairs, the men who are vitally con >ceraed with the shaping of public issues and the men who hold positions of high trust need encourageizneiat throughout all their lives, and rlt is the word of encouragement spok- *m at Just the right time, when perhaps a weighty decision hangs in the fbalance, or a new responsibility la to !be undertaken, which helps more than anything else could. If the men who ^control in large affairs require praise land encouragement how much more do the men who work under them ilong for the word of approbation. The earnest man, the man who takes an iactlve Interest In his task and can see beyond tho dollars and cents for which the works, cannot be expected to labor indefinitely without knowing "whether his labors are appreciated or not. It is argued, of course, that the juan who does not give satisfaction •does not, naturally, retain his position, but to many finely tempered natures the fact of giving satisfaction Is Snot everything. Appreciation means icruch to them und when rightly expressed goes a long way toward encouraging their best efforts. ; POPULAR AND ELECTORAL VOTE FOR PRESIDENT According to tho Scientific American of recent issue, a method of economizing electrical energy employed for domestic heating or cooking Is to receive the energy continuously at a low rate in a resistance apparatus which transforms It into heat and then stores the heat for uso as needed. In a new electric cooking apparatus op- •erating In this way the heating unit, consuming COO watts total or 12,000 'watt hours per day of twenty-four .hours, serves to keep a mass of cast Iron hot enough to cook food In or dinary utensils placed in contact with i t Tho cast Iron block Is thermally Insulated by being Inclosed In a sur- Trbundlng wall of lampblack or powdered silica, nnd a movable block is arranged to be raised abovo the main mass, so as to expose its upper surface when cooking is to be done.

In an aeroplane accident the deaths are limited to one or two. lout when a submarine boat goes down and tails to come up, the calamity tususlly carries off a dozen or more ihuman beings at a time. There were 15 men on the British submarine B-2, which was struck by the Hamburg- American liner Amerlka in a fog off 'Dover, and only one of then came us. This U the sixth disaster to Brit- |lsh submarines, and in each of the [previous disasters the death roll rra nged from 11 to 25.

For a team of as little fame as tho V westerners have, the put up the strongest game seen on Ferry Held in some time. They opened the scoring in the second quarter with a long forwar^ pass and 10-yard run for a touchdowi.. After that, they held, and the game kbecame a, punting duel in which Thomson bad the best of Ferguson, who did the kicking for the westerners. Michigan's line was weak at different times, and they had difficulty in stopping the Coyote forward pass. The Dakota line was also loose, but it was impossible lor Michigan to gain consistently. irhe Information ha will qeed In o > elding.

The Turks are reported to have been decisively beaten by the Bulgarians and driven in disorder from their positions at the Tehatalja forts in front of Constantinople according to a dispatch from Sofia. The fighting was very severe and lasted two days. The Turns are reported to have evacuated Salonlki, leaving the city at the mercy of the arriving Greek and Servian armies. The advance guards of Crown r/rince Constantin's Greek array and King Pater's Servian army are within a few miles of Saloniki. The Turks fled eastward in the direction of Constantinople along the southern border of the Orient railway, burning all bridges behind them and tearing up the railroad to prevent transporting soldiers. An Important victory was won by Greeks at Pendingciala pass. When day dawned the Turks had withdrawn from their fortress leaving many dead and wounded. The Greeks had shelled the tort all day, almost destroying it. The Greeks are now in possession of the pass. Gen. Savoff, the Bulgarian commander- in-chief, reports that after the battle of Kirk-Ktlisseh, a Turkish officer was captured bearing a letter from his commander, Mahmoud Mukhtar, to his father, the grand vizier, advising him to resign in favor of Klamil Fasha and conclude peace, as the condition of the army was so desperate that it was useless to continue the war. European Fleet Going to Turkish Waters. The fleet which the European nations are assembling in Turksh waters will comprise 14 battleships, 22 cruisers, 15 destroyers and auxiliaries. Admiral Sir Archibald Berkeley Milne, commander-in-chef of the Mediterranean squadron, will be the senior officer of this international fleet and is expected to take command, should concerted operations become necessary. The British government, a week ago ordered a strong squadron for a cruise iu the Mediterranean. Hence Admiral Milne will go Into Turksh waters with the most powerful battle force which has ever ilown the British flag east, ot Gibraltar. $40,000 Taken by T r a i n Robbers.

WESTERN CANADA'S PROSPERITY y - *< NOT A BOOM, BUt OU€ TO NATURAL DEVELOPMENT. One of the largest banks in Holland has been doing a big business k* WeBtern Canada, and Mr. W. Westerman, the President, on a recent visit into the Provinces of Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, , ^expressed himself as being much Impressed with present conditions and prospects, and was convinced that the great prosperity of the Dominion waa BOW- a boom, but merely the outcome of nat ural developments. Not enly has money been invested largely in Western Canada by the Holland Banks, but by thoBe of Germany, France, as well as Great Britain. Not only are these countries contributing money, but they are also contributing people, hard headed, industrious farmers, who are helping to produce the two hundred million bushels of wheat and the three hundred million bushels of the other small grains that the Provinces of the West have harvested this season. During the past fiscal year there came into Canada from the United States 133,710; from Austria Hungary 21,651; from Belgium 1,601; Holland 1,077; France 2,094; Germany 4,684; Sweden 2,394; Norway 1,692; and from all countries the immigration to Canada in that year was 354,237 From the United States and foreign countries the figures will be increased during the present year. Most of these people have gone ta the farms, and it is no far look to the time when the prophecy will be fulfilled of half a billion bushel crop of wheat in Western Canada. Advertise* ment.

Miss Lyons belongs to a club whose members are practicing the doctrine of going back to the farm. The club is limited to 40 members and owns property to the amount of $1,000 and about 70 acres of farming land not far from Weetwood. Each member ho'lds a deed to one acre and the balance of the land is held in common to be rented to any member who wiBhes to try farming on a larger scale. House Plant Important. The care in the home and all other forms of household work are greatly facilitated by right planning and the use of suitable materials for the construction and furnishing of the home. An adequate and convenient water supply and other convenience* are essential, not only for comfort and for saving labor, but also from the standpoint of home hygiene.

The total of the Republican elec* Oral column apparently was fixed at the 12 votes of Idaho, Utah and Vermont, but the footing of the Wilson and Roosevelt columns flickered alternately during the afternoon and bright, as late returns from Iowa, Kan- «*aa> Minnesota, South Dakota and Wyoming gave indications of change £som the results accepted last night. On the basis of the latest returns earl? (n the evening with the vote of Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, South Da- Ifota and Wyoming placed in the 'Ndoobfeftri'* column, President-elect Wilson had 387 certain votes in the electors college; Colonel Roosevelt 89 and President Taft 12. All of the doubtful states except South Dakota gave more or less certain indication during the night of landing in the list of Wilson electoral votes, while South Dakota's returns showed a general trend toward a ?iooseveU plurality. 1 Taft Tanes Defeat Like True Philosopher. President Taft, who returned to Citcinnati, received the returns at the home of his brother, C. P. Taft, on Pike street. Early ia the evening a large nu:n- • -ioual friends gathered at the Taft homo to hear, with the president, the result of the balloting throughout the ccuntry. The very first resu.ts carried an intimation of t^e approach of the Wilson avalanc; e. While the president's personal friends w.jre entirely dsappointed over the evi! portent o* the news, the president hin self did not in the least display any depression of spirts. He ti>ok the result in a very philosophical manner. He declined to make any statement. Early returns indicated that he l*et h{s home city to Wilson. The Democrats claim to have carried Cincinnati for 'heir national, state ^nd county tickets by more than 10,000. Women Win In Four States. A by-phase of the general election thai became known Wednesday was the success of woman's suffrage in four of the five states where conetfUrMonal amendments were submitted so the people. The victory of the women was complete in Kansas, Ari- Rona and Michigan; late returns from Oregon Indicated they had succeeded ifrej*s ateo, while from Wisconsin came Tetoraa Showing the decisive defeat of ttie oqoal suffrage proposal, Eettnaftes of the popular vote polled by Governor Wilson ranged through many minions during the day. It was found impossible to •compote with any accuracy the popular voifc of any of the presidential candidates, and will be a number of days until the counting of the three corner- <*I contest in the different states is coaohuted and an accurate tabulation of the popular vote made possible. Roth bouses of congresB will prnb- • My be Democratic. The house is owrwkefcrakigly Democratic. The incomplete returns indicate that the leg- Idlatoses elected at yesterday's polls win elect enough Democratic senators 1O give Che Democrats a majority of the uppet branch of congress With no complete figures fioro «vesir. rn states, the returns show that the "solifl south," adhering to its Democratic traditions, and the eastern states !n which Wilson has won, has Riven hhn more than the requisite 266 votes in the electoral college. At mi--night, the returns showed tiiat 15 southern states, exclusive of Missouri, and inclusive of West \tr- Sh.fcC have yielded 165 electoral votes for Wilson. Three New England states, Connecticut, Mafne and Massachusetts, have given him 31 more electoral votis; Delaware has contributed three and New York has given the Domoerat'c candidate its 45 votes. Indiana has apparently gono Democ atic !*y a lar^e plurality white* Missouri, that appeared in the Republican ranks in 1904 and 1908, baa given its electoral votes to the Democrats Counting only states from which practically complete returns, though, unofficial, woro given at midnight, Wilson has 277 electoral votes, with :266 sufficient to elect Roosevelt has apparently carried Illinois with its 29 electoral votes, while on the face of the incomplete returns Taft has sw«.ng Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Vermont with 12 electoral votes. In IMS Taft carried Illinois by Ohio to Wilson. Right up with the head of the ticket, the Democratic candidates fcr governor and other state offices a»e keeping step. The plurality of Janus Cox, Democrat, for governor, will t e equal to that for the presidential jand> .ate. The Democrats will also cr-n trol the legislature by an overwhelming majority. There is no senator to be elected, but t is possible ti:at Senator Burton will be the only Republican from Thio in either brancn of congress after next March. It looks as if V.e Democrats had carr.ed every uongiessional district in'tbe state Congressman Nicholas Lorgworth, Bon-in-la.v of the Big Bull Moose, has probably pone down with the rest of the Republican candidates for coag r>S8. Wilson in the Leao In Illinois. Late returns which included maiy Democratic counties in the southern part of the state, took away the Roosevelt plurality of the early :otvrns and gave Wilson a sVisht l^ad. His total on 692 precincts heard from being 14 votes more than Roosevelt. The returns on 692 prectacts outride of Cook county give Taft 42,297, Wilson 63,857, Roosevelt 63,843. In Cook county Roosevelt still had a lead of approximately 15.000. Nino hundred seventy-eight precincts out of 19S gave Roosevelt U 3,650, Wilson 88,358, Taft, 5Q,4"8. Connecticut Goes Democratic.

Meager returns at midnight indicated the Progressive natioral ti.'k^t and the Republican state ticket hid been victorious in Kansas. Progressive leaders claimed the state for Roosevelt by a plurality of from 10,000 to 1,500, but *re Democrats maintainor* tli;;t the complete vote would place Wilson in the lead. W. R. StuWia, Republican, was leading William fT. Thompson, Democrat, for United States senator. For governor, Arthur Capper, Republican, and Georpe HodgeB, Democrat, were runring about even. Wilson Ahead In New Hampshire.

Llndquist is a winner in the eleventh, but in the t w e l f t n there is the Beet Joe" has pulled through victor In another t lugh battle. The early, returns are as a rule only on president and governor, though fragmentary returns on the suffrage amendment indicate that the vote en that proposition is wtry evenly divided. * The returns on congressmen are very scattering. For congressman-st~ large what figures are at hand show Keliey and Frensdorf running neck and! neck, with H i l l , the Bull Moose candidate, third. In the second district Beakes, Dem., leads Wedemeyer, tne present Re* publican incumbent. In the third the election of Carney, Dem., over J. M. C. SmLh Is fn» dicated. In the flifth Edwin F. Sweet, preoent Democratic congressman, la being given a hard race by Carl E. Mapes, Republican. There is a possibility that Sam W. Smith, Rep., has been defeated In the sixth by Alva M. Cummins, Democrat, and In the seventh Cramton, Bell and Sherman are all closely bunched. In the eighth, as was anticipated .Chancer, t h i Progressive. pt>llc4 enough votes away from Fordney to bring Pureed, Democrat, close up and it will take the full returns of the district to show whether or not "81 gar Bee Joe" has pulled hrough victor in another tuugh battle. Sears, Progressive, failed to make the snowing expected of him in the ninth, and McLaughlin has probably won. Too few returns are In from the tenth, the biggest district in the state. to venture a prediction as to whether Loud i a i been re-elected, or defeat** by Roy Woodruff, his Progressive opponent. Llndquist is a winner in the eelventh, but In the twelfth there Is the strongest kind of a probability, based on incomplete returns, that H. OIJr» Young will be succeeded in the next congress by W. J. McDonald, the Bulk Moose candidate. One feature of the returns is the way the Bull Moote ticket ran In t h s upper peninsula. The vote cast in the state was the heaviest ever k n r w n , practically the entire registration going to the polls to vote. The three-sided contest for all offices was, of couroe, largely responsible for this, while good weather and the general closlnj of factories In all cities helped greatly. In general the Democrats held their norrral vote, and In many casts increased it, while the Republicans and Progressives combined polled t»r more than the normal Republican vote. loiter roturns from the state show practically 110 chimin in the reunits announced W«:dneBday. The plurality of W. N. Ferris, Democrat, for governor, with about half the <i«- tires in, is 17,000, which will probably Increase to 25,000 on the full count. RooHevelt's plurality over Wilson will be well over 40,000, with Taft. about, 12,000 behind the Democratic candidate. *v Sufficient, returns are now in on the legislature to aasurn the re-election of William Alden Smith to succeed himself as United Slates senator next January. With two senatorial districts to hear from, the senate stands: Republicans, 20; Democrat*?, G; Progressives, 4, With five representative? districts yet to report, the count on the lower house is: Republicans, GO; Democrats 32', Progressives, 115. This liguroB out the vote on joint ballot thus: Republicans, 70; Democrats, 38; Progressives, 17; 07 being a majority. One of the surprises of the leglnlatlve election is in the Thirty-first senatorial district, where "Mike" Moriarty is having the race of his life for re-election, he and Wlnegar, the Progressive candidate, running neckand- ncck. In the congressional contests there are some close races which ' i y take the official count to decide. In the second W. W. Wedemeyer seems to be defeated by 8. W. Beakes, Democrat, the figures at hand nearly coinformer Congressman William H. SUf forc\ who rrn as a fusion candidate on the DeiLOC-atic ticket. 8outh Dakota In Doubt.

Uncle Sam Wants Farmers Uncle Sam v^nts five hundred men to take up homes on the irrigation projects he has been building in the West. More than 800, 000 acres are receiving water from the government ditches' and late reports from the field indicate that bumper crops have rewarded the farmer iu practically all sections of the irrigated West. The crop yields on the projects of the Recl&uuation Service are truly remarkable in view of the fact that much of the land is practically new and many of the farmers were unfamiliar with irrigation methods until they acquired these farms. A surprising feature that impresses visitors to these lands is the modern conditions that already surround the settler on many of the projects. Rural telephones, centralized graded schools, good transportation facilities, and towns at short intervals are some of the things that rob life on these new lands of many of the the trials of pioneering. The available lands are all in the Northwest, mainly in Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming and Idaho. This is the best season of the year to make personal inspection of the farms, and different railroAds offer low round trip rates to various sections. Residence does not have to be established for six months after filing and the act of June 6,1912, reduces the required residence from five to three years. Payments for water right are divided into 10 annnal instalments, and if necessary 5 months leave of absence is permitted, so that it is practical for a man with from $1,000 to $2,000 capital to acquire one one of these desirable farms and make it pay- Booklets and information will be furnished on request by the Statistican of the Reclamation Service-at Washington, D.

Stalllonv Registration Board.) Never in the history of the draft Iroree has the-—future appeared___fl0_ promising to breeders~a8 now, despite t h e statements of a leading speaker at the annual meeting of the State (Veterinarians' association at Minneapolis that the automobile and autotruck were driving it out of business. There is no reason, in the light •of statistics, -why the doom of the draft horse should he spelled by the «.uto. Though the enormous number of auto-trucks in the cities might lead one to believe that they were crowding the draft horse out of business, actual flgureB do not prove it. Sta^ tiatlcs In the office of the Minnesota stallfon registration board show that t h e number of sires used in this state for horse-breeding has Increased from 3,544, May 1, 1910, to 4,445, May 1, 1912. During the same period the •number of registered draft sires has Increased 35 per cent, there now being over 1,450 In Minnesota. This is an excellent guide to conditions of the industry in this state and throughout the country. Never in the history of the Chicago and St. Liouis marknts, the two large s t ones in the United States, has the demand been so keen or the prices so high for high class horses •of all sypos, espocially the superior -draft type. Statistics from the U. S. bureau of animal industry show that the number of,horses in this country h a s increased from 13,500,000 to 21,- 600,000 in the past decade. The value of all horses in this country has increased from $45 to $115 in the same period. This has occurred despite the Increase in the use of automobiles. First class draft horses have been almost prohibitive }n price this year, because of the great demand for them, and u team of drafters has often sold ns high as $800 to $1,000. The demand for high class saddle and carriage horses in thn eastern cities has been so great that their prict:» have been almost prohibitive to many who can afford automobiles. All this- should be very encouraging to persons in the United States interested in horse-breeding. When horses have increased at so rapid n rate the last two years, and prices have kept soaring In spite of the increase, there is no reason to believe that the automobile will ever drive them out of business. Instead of the automobile -causing—a^ Jscarclty of horses, it would be more reasonable to say that the scarcity of horses has caused the temporary advent of the automobile and' auto-truck. Farmers in Minnesota need not fear to grow more horses. If they are large, sound, and serviceable, they will always demand the highest prices. The horse industry is founded on a permanent basis, and has no reason to conflict with the automobile industry In any way. KEEPING POULTRY FREE FROM LICE Recipe for Making Ointment Recommended by Prof. Graham —Also Kills Fleas. What many breeders consider be*. tor than powder for killing lice and mites is an ointment recommended by Professor W„. R. Graham of Guelph, Canada, one who has made a life study of poultry in the Dominion. It Is composed as follows: Mercury, 50 parts; lard, 25 parts; beef suet, 23 parts; oleate of mercury, 2 parts, The suet, if bought from tho butcher, will have to be rendered over a fire and poured into the lard while it is warm, and then stir in tho mercury and oleate of mercury. Use a table knife or spoon to do the stirring. Do not put hands into i t Should it prove too stiff to (iasily apply as an ointment, thin with a little cotton seed oil. All ingredients should be weighed rather than measured. Put It away in small vaseline bottles or boxes well covered, and it will keep for montha. This ointment will rid polutry of head lice and Texas fleas. For other mites and lice rub It in well about the fluff below the vent and under the wings. It will not only kill the live vermin, but destroy the nits as well. It is a valuable thing for turkey raisers to use on the old and the young. *PEKIN DUCKS ARE QUITE PROFITABLE *A ,-:S « *'V*ft fofe ' Mf market ducklings are all raised 4**ga White Pekin ducks, which have t h * range of a half acre, five ducks to *jM drake, ftiyi a writer in the Poult r y Joor&al.

THAT ORDER ARMIES OF BALKAN ALLIES, LEO BY BULGARIANS, PUSH TO W I T H I N SIGHT OF CONSTANTINOPLE. GREEKS BOLDLY SINK T U R K I S H WARSHIP. Turk Ships Bombard Lighthouses, and Bulgarians Protest Over Such Unnecessary Conduct. The Turkish army on which the fate of the Ottoman empire depends has been outgeneraled and outtought. It has made what is believed to be the last stand against the victorious UulgarimiH and is now falling b.'vck in disorder on its tinal line of defense at the forts of Tchatalja, only X5 miles from Cosntaminople. Grave doubts are expressed in military circles, and repeated even in the Turkish capital, us to whether the remnants of the immense but disorganized army of the sultan will make any serious attempt to hold this line. F o r e i g n e r s in Constantinople are fearful for the safety of the Christian populations of the Turkish towns and the European powers have taken steps in this connection by the dispatch of warships to Salonvki, Constantinople ~aird~-other Turkish ports for the protection of their nationals. This is the most pressing question of the moment. One correspondent in Constantinople voices the fear of Europeans in that city that the Turkish retreat from Tehattalja might result in massacres and pillage by vhat is no longer an army, but a mob. Old residents of Constantinople who know the Turks thoroughly and are not incliued to take an alrarnist attitude, say the foreign warships could afford some protection at Salonki, but the widely scattered missions and Christian populations in their opinion are already seriously endangered. No Time to Reorganize. T h e Bulgarian troops who have shown such dash since the opening of the campaign are not likely to give the Turks much time to reorganize It is true they have hundreds of dead and wounded, both TurkB and Bulgarians, to dispose of, and this must according to military experts, delay them somewhat. They had, however, similar difficulties to contend against after the victory at Kirk-KilisBeh and around Adrianople, but there was not much lull in the fighting then. Other parts of the line of invaders are pulling themselves together for another spring, which they hope will finally and definitely put an end to Turkish rule In Europe. Servians Do Their Part. Tho, Servians, having completed the occupation of Macedonia, are establishing civil administrations there and releasing some of their troops to go to the assistance of their allies at Adrianople and for an attack on Salouiki. On the latter place armies are converging from three directions. T h e Greeks, too are taking the offensive and, having occupied in the Aegean atr; some Turkish islands conveniently located for attacV. have put out of commission a Turkish warship stationed at Saloniki by torpedoing her during the night. She was. not of great value. Powers Must Keep Out. Nothing new has been heard from the region of Scutari except a report that the powder 'magazine in Taratosch has Lcen destroyed by Montefegriu shells. Having decided to take 'step* to protect their nationals the European. powers are now keeping in touch with a view to acting in concert when the opportune moment arrives. Bulgaria, however, has let it be known that Turkey must negotiate with the allied Balkan nations directly, so that all the powers can do ia to prepare to look after their own interests when the war is over. .ir >*- Floorwalker H*rdly Had to Think to Make Satlafactofjjr Answer to the Inquiry. "Silk stockings must be very cheap m America. Nowhere in the world do women's slim and supple ankles gleam in lustrouB silk as they do here." The speaker was Robert Lbraine, the English actor. He continued: "A married man told me the other day that, going Into one of your department stores, he said to a floorwalker: " 'I'm looking for something pretty In silk stockings/ "The floorwalker smiled, and with si gesture embraced the long rows of counters with their charming saleswomen. " 'That remark,' he said, 'describes, I believe, practlcaly every one of our young ladies.' " England's Motto. "Dieu et Mon Droit"—"God and My Right"—the royal motto of England, was the parole of the day given by Richard I. (he of the Lion Heart) to his army at the battle of Gisors, in France, on the 20th of September, 1198, when the French army was signally defeated. Dieu et JWon Droit appears to have been first assumed as a motto by Henry VI., 1422-1462. Semper Idem—"Always the Same"—was one of the mottoes of Queen Elizabeth; also adopted by Queens Mary and Anne. Situations Vacant. The rich bachelor sighed and looked fixedly at the beautiful g i r i "Things with me," he said, "are at sixes and sevens. I feel the great need of a woman In my home—one who would straighten out my tangled affairs and make life worth living once again." Her soft glance spoke her excitement and expectation. "Yes?" she queried, gently. "Do you know," he continued, "of any good, able-bodied woman whom I could get to clean the house?" Nor for Her. "He seems to be so superficial," said Mrs. Oldcastle. "Yes," replied Mrs. Gottalottftv as she hung her $15,000 necklace over the back of a chair. "I've noticed that. He's got half a dozen big ones stuffed that he claims he caught. I wouldn't have such things in my dining room." The Best She Could Do. "Why don't you want to let me hold your hand?" "What good would it do you to hold my hand?"

Sacrificing their lives to rescue 87 orphan children in their charge, six Sisters of Charity perished in a fire that destroyed St. John's Orphanage in San Antonio, Tex. One baby fell to itB death with Mary of the Cross, mother superior of the institution, who left her place of safety in a vain effort to save the child. Another orphan is missing, and it is feared it did not escape. F l a m e s broke out. in the building early morning. Roused from their sleep the nuns marshalled their charges to fire escapes, remaining at their posts until flames barred the way to safety. Two of the slaters, Kostka Farrell and Monica Montez, were killed by Jumping. ______ Three sisters escapedTTnfltfucted to pilot t h e first column of frightened children out of danger, they gained the ground In time to escape tbe crash of falling walls. The children owe their lives to the initial daring and self-sacrifice of the nuns. '>; '•i tf' The average death rate for 20 states recording their deaths is 1,471 per 100,000.

Will Last Long, but Are Extremely Costly at the Present Moment— Velvet In Particular Form la Extremely Popular. There 1B always a peculiar seductiveness about a fine wrap, and now thi* charm Is more bewildering than ever, for every point of the elegant garment strives for grace and beauty. AB for textures, you can imagine how grand they are when I tell you that BO me of the more exquisite coatings for evening use are marked as high as forty dollars a yard, while such prices as twenty-five dollars and thirty dollars are as common as if every woman had her pockets lined with gold. However, the fabrics have a lifetime quality, for some are in substantial Bilks so interwoven with gold and silver threads as to suggest the absolute defiance of time. For a long period, at least, bits of such materials will endure, and when they are looked at In the yearB to come everybody will marvel at the magnificence of our time. For, of course, there must be a revulsion of feeling at last, and then we will come down to the most countrified simplicities. The present grandeurs are ascribed to the needs of the manufacturers, who, seeing no way of getting women to use more material, fcave happened upon the lucrative notion of making textures more splendid. : One of the loveliest fabrics for both levening and fine day coats Is cut velvet, which is now shown with gauge background, the texture falling as ICARE OF THE CANDLE SHADE {Lace Covers May Easily Be Arranged So That Laundering Work Will Hot Be Hard. i «•"— 1 Keep the lace covers on candle •hades separate from the lining to they can be laundered easily.

But to return to the coat of dinky cut which is so popular now, and which always offers a Bplendld idea for the top garment of a tailored suit in one fabric; for it is the difference between the coat and skirt materials which makes this model trying to most figures. The style is shown by the figure illustrated, the material being a tan wool ratine and the trimming black panne velvet As a onepiece dress of black panne is worn with this garment it Is here presented in Its most aristocratic phase, and the get-up is admirably topped by a very dashing hat of black panne and yellow and black paradise plumes. Ready made, a coat in this style can be had from fifteen dollars up. Woolly coatings in two colors, wide wale serge coating, wool cheviot, chinchilla, etc., are Bome of the practical materials. If the garment is to be made at home it can be varied as the type needs, and if the dressmaker wants a very swagger coat cut for a stout suit of corduroy or serge she could do no better than to use this model. If the coat get-up is to be for reception* purposes, and there is every chance of its-beiog a& well the only garment for the theater, have the coat of velveteen and the dres of cloth in the same color. Taupe, in that very smart shade called eclipse, would be a splendid color for It, although many rich shades of plum are equally fashionable. MARY DEAN.

With our pretty round Walking skirts fur edgings are coming very much to the fore again, although it must be owned that the fur is as often as not used with thin materials as it 1B with cloth and velvet. For instance, there is a charming frock made of moussellne de Bole in two tones, the top and upper part of the skirt which reaches half way to the knees, being carried out in rich ernerald greenfwhile the rest of the skirt is In snuff-cok>red mousseline de soie with a border of skunk. ThiB is a very successful toilette, the color scheme being both original and pleasing, while the skunk lends it a special note of richness. In detail the gown is simplicity itself, the corsage Joining neatly at the throat where there is a frill ot fine lawn, while the sleeves are put into a seam just below the turn of the shoulders, and the fronts are fastened, with crystal buttons set into little bows of dark brown velvet. Soft New Porcelains. Have you seen the fascinating Danish porcelains in soft gray and white that are being shown in interesting vases, candlesticks and fruit bowls? One attractive piece that could do duty for flowers or fruit is a Danish peasant girl in her native costume, with quaint cap and sabots. Her frock la gray, her apron, cap and sabots white. She leans gracefully forward, apparently walking, and drags beside her great baskets, each fully six inches in diameter, of plaited gray and white porcelain. Besides the beauty of this vase, it permits delightful effects with short stemmed flowers, and is especially graceful as a center piece filled with purple and white grapes* or blue plums and green gages. good way in which pieces of strong ribbon about seven Inches in length and two inches in width may be utilized la the making of serviette bands to take .the place of the ordinary rings.

KEEPING EWE'S FLEECE DRY Protection of Breeding Animal From Snow is Important—Should Be Given Exercise. (By PROF. THOMAS SHAW.) The protection of breeding ewes from falling snow ia important, especially is it important when it falls in the form of rain. Winter rains and also sleet are always cold. Ifgjhoep of the open wooled breed are lon^ exposed to these, they may do them great harm. The close-woolcd breeds, as the Merinos, will be harmed much less, as the water cannot readily enter the wool which they carry. The shelter provided up to the lambing season may be of the simplest kind, providing it will protect from storm and wind. The aim should he to give breeding ewes large liberty in the winter; if the ground is bare, or even partially, it will do thera good to give thorn large liberty. They will make excursions into the fields In search of grass, and the exercise will do them much good. They should he allowed to lie in a well-bedded yard at night, or In the shed or house adjoining, as they prefer. The other necessary attentions include regular feeding, supply of salt at all times accessible, an ample supply of pure water and yards apart from those of horses and cattle. Results of Vaccination. The Kansas experiment station has received reports of the result of vaccinating 32,000 hogs against cholera. In herds infected before vaccination 70 per cent of the hogs survived. In herds not Infected before vaccination 99 per cent survived. This shows very clearly that the time to use the cholera serum is before the disease hits the herd. The losses from ewine disease this year promise to be much less than that, but there is a good deal of it scattered 5Yer The corn belt and all precautions should be taken. Serum Is available now In nearly all important swine-producing states, and those who own hogs should take ad- VanWIertnVtt.--' ; —— CLOVER MIXTURE FOR SWJNE • • * • . . • # • * - ' • i • Combination of Alslka With Either Common Red or Mammoth Glvea Good Results. <By R G. T7EATHERSTONE.) A mixture of alsike with either the common red or the mammoth clover will give more and better pasture than any one of them. The value of the pasture depends on the number of leaves rather than on the stems. The per cent, of the leaves is greater in alsike than in the medium and the medium has a larger per cent, of leaves than has the mammoth, when compared with the stem. This alsike is finer in stem, too, and renews leafy growth alter eaten down better than do the ranker clovers. It pays to sow about ten pounds of medium and five pounds of alsike to each acre. I have noticed that shoats prefer alfalfa to any of these clovers. This suggests that they would enjoy a mixture of clover including alfalfa. As it is less hardy at the start it might be well to defer sowing the alfalfa until the season of severe frost has passed. Once established, alfalfa will endure as much hardship as any of the clovers named, yet none of them will endure grazing when frozen or even when covered with frost. A little care to keep frost off until the frost haB disappeared will prolong the usefulness of the clover pasture. Delay in turning on in the spring until May will be profitable. STOCK CHUTE QUITE USEFUL Convenient Farm Implement Easily Moved by Addition of Two Discarded Mower Wheels. Perhaps every farmer has occasion to load some animal into u wagon and many of them prepare for this by building a stock chute. Frequently these chutes are built as a permanent fixture in connection with the feed lots, but they are often made so that they can be transported from ono part of the farm to another. When a chute of this kind is built heavy and strong enough to support the weight of a mature hog or a large calf it becomes a clumsy thing to move. Mr. R. J. Linbcott, owner of the Rosalpha Jerseys at Holton, Kan., has solved this problem of inconvenience in a very easy way. The wheels and axle used in making his stock' chute are Stock Chute on Wheels. parts of old machinery found on the farm, the wheels bein& taken from an old mower. The upper end of the chute is provided with two strong iron hooks, which are sharjwmed so as to engage the bottom of the wagon bed and prevent slipping after the animal starts upward. With such an arrangement there is no difficulty In building a chute of ample strength because the question of weight has relatively little importance. The chute can be hooked on behind the wagon and hauled to any part of the farm. Giving the Horse Salt. It is a mistake to deprive a horse of salt. Large lumps of rock salt should always be kept in a box in a corner of the manger, where- the horse can help himself. Lice on Horses. For lice on horses use a good louse powder generously wherevei lice appear, and blanket closely for 12 to 15 hours. This kills most of them. Repeat if necessary. strongly contrasting; shads of color.

An authority on horses says that the gray win lire the longest and that roans come next in order. Blacks, he asserts, seldom live to be over 20 and creams rarely exceed 10 or 15. It is a matter ot common observation that grays and sorrels often live to a usefdl old age. As to the alleged short terms of the other colors, there hi room for discussion. The Halterwlse Colt The young horse should be haKerwise at one year old. Several weeks before hitching or driving let him stand in the stall with an old harness on. Let him know the harmlesaness of every Jingling buckle or chafing of napping strap.' (fare htm a bit, too, to play with and discover that It has come to stay. ^ Blinds on the nervous horse are as fuel added to fire. Have the ewes in good flesh condition at mating time. Oats should be made a part of the ration of the growing colt Shoats are certainly an attractive proposition at public sales. Stick to the "golden hoof and turn farm wastes into mutton. Exposure to chill and rain Is detrimental to any ailing dumb animal. At this time of year considerable attention should be given to the mares. A windmill is a necessity on every stock farm where there is not fresh running water. Good horses and mules were never higher in American history~ftan~fHi are at the present time. ., The stables, which will soon be occupied by the live stock, should be made comfortable for them. The man who gets the cost of production down to the minimum is the man who makes the money. A blanket of fat on a horae, like charity, is a mantle that often serves to cover a multitude of defects. Experienced shepherds usually make a practice of flushing out the ewes- just before breeding time. A coat of whitewash on the Inside of the barn and other outbuildings will make them lighter and cleaner. How to feed and finish hogs for market is a science, a knowledge ot whlrft is of great value to hog raisers. Hog cholera, or disease resembling It very closely, is reported breaking out in many different parts of the country.

There are usually ~1501 plain new students entered at the begin* ning of tbe second semester each year, and this will bring tbe registration for the present year to about 200 increase over last year.

Prisoners Will Work At the meeting of the board of supervisors recently, a committee was appointed to establish a stone yard attachment to the county jail for short term prisoners, presumably for "tramps" so called. The Committee appointed are supervis ore, Clarence Fuller, Cohoctah; Freely Calkins, Handy arjd Albin Pfau of Iosco. The resolution uuder which they are to work runs as follows: Resolved that the committee appointed establish a stone yard, do and are hereby authorized to expend the amount they deem necessary in renting grounds, induing same and purchasing the necessary supplies etc. The idea seems to be tbat this will furnish a means to give tramps employment while doing time at the county jail and at t.he same time earn something for the county as the crushed stone could be used to make good roads. Both materials and tools will have to be furnished by tbe committee but we do not think the idea is to furnish very expensive crushing machines further than a heavy ham mer for each workman. The time of service is from six to eight hours per day. Just think how tramps will flock to Howell to get employment wheu times are dull on the road. Eight hours a day will be very attractive no doubt to those fellows who were never known to be looking for work. "MQM THE CIR •HUM?'

It carries the thrill of the automobile race track from cover to cover. Did you ever attend a big automobile race? You hear the cry "Car coming," and before you fairly realize what has happened it is pas* like a flash. In "From the Car Behind," by Eleanor M. Ingram, such a situation arises.

The entries are greater than ever before, the quality of tbe stock better, and tbe interest among farmer*, breeders and feeders keener than at any previous time It may be interesting to state tbat tbe International Live Stock Exposition, from a comparatively small beginning, twelve years ago, nas assumed such importance in the live stock world, as to render its annual occurrence an absolute necessity, not only on account ef its being tbe high court of appeal, the eoort of last resort to stockmen, but because it sete tbe stamp of approval upon those of our domesticated animals tbat are most in demand, and establishes a standard among stock that must be lived up to in order to realize for the breeder, feeder and farmer the highest price for bis produce. Tbe day of tbe inferior animal, tbe slow feeder and the tardy monej getter, is passed, and in order to succeed and obtain the oest results in tbe shortest possible time, stockmen must breed for the types set by this great international tribunal; follow its mandates, adhere to its principles, and abide by the findings of its judges, in order to breed that which is beat, reaches maturity tbe quickest, and realizes tbe highest price in the shortest time. The ordinary observer has little idea of what this Exposition is, what it teaches and what it means, It must be seen to be appreciated. It mist be studied to be understood. No more pleasant time can be spent, no more practical lessons learned, and no more valuable knowledge gained, than by attend'ng the eight days devoted to this Sbow. The stockman will gain more real, sound, solid and serviceable information by attending this Exposition than be can gain in ten times tbe period at auy other institution. At this sbow he sees the best ot every breed, bis field for comparison is immence, and his opportunities for practical instruction almost limitless, By attending this show he combines business with pleasure, knowledge with practice, and education with example. It is tbe school of rapid learning for tbe stockman, a free education tbat remains in bis bead, and carries with it the methods wherebv tbe best live stock is produced and the most money made.

Thousands of people are complaining every year that the public schools are not "making good." They cannot understand -why the great majority of boys, after reaching the sixth or seventh .grade, fail to pass their examinations, he come discouraged and drop out of school, Bays the Columbia State. The small proportionate number of graduates they regard as proving that something is radically wrong in the scheme and methods of instruction. Not for a moment do they remember 'what they are asking of the schools. If they would compare their outlay for education with the outlay for heating or lighting their homes and then compare the results, they would agree that no other investment yields returns worthy to be mentioned by the side of their investment in the public schools, yet they insist that the schools should accomplish for average boy or girl ten times what they do accomplish. The mother or father who will give to the children in the family an hour of assistance each day will have no reason jto be disappointed with the school system. If they will three times a year visit the schools and spend half an hour in them, learning at first hand what the task of the teachers is and how much tho taxpayers have asked the school system to do, they will conclude that wonders are being achieved at nominal cost and they will be convinced, moreover, that In respect to their own children they may not expect the working of miracles unless they set themselves to do faithfully what is physically beyond the powers ©f the overworked teachers. BECKER SE 10 DIE WEEK DEC. 9 EX-POLICE LIEUT. CONVICTED OF SLAYING ROSENTHAL HEARS DOOM W I T H O U T EMOTION. SHERIFF STARTS W I T H PRISONER TO SING SING. The fact that several Nebraska young women graduating from the department of agriculture at Washington into places of responsibility as seed experts, some in state universities, while naturally gratifying to their neighbors, is most significant in this, that it shows what a potent influence the government 1B exerting toward implanting the principle of intensive agriculture, says the Omaha Bee. The first steps in the process of snaking two blades of grass grow yhere but one grew before la the proper selection of seed and proper preparation of the soil. The federal government 1B doing a great work, therefore, in thus fostering this movement and co-operating in it with state educational . institutions. Together they are making tho selection of seed /or agriculture and horticulture a scifence and a business. Of course, this Opens up to young men and women lucrative fields of service, but that Is only incidental to the main purpose of improving methods of farming. Women are indignant over the statement of a German expert at Washington lately that cooking Is a lost art. In view of the cooking schools and the housewives' leagues, both so popular now, and in the way which women are earnestly trying to raise cook* ing in the eyes of their sex to a science worthy of respect and attention, the statement is rather a sweeping one. In fact, the average moderate mind takes all the broad assertions concerning the general deterioration of the world with more than a few grains of allowance for the zeal of the speaker on special occasions when broad statements seem to be In order. Faithful Wife, After Pathetic Scene in Sheriff's Office, Is in Court When Sentence Is Pronounced. Charles A. Becker, former police lieutenant, convicted of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, New York gambler, was sentenced to die in the electric chair at Sing Sing during the week of Dec. 9. Sentence was pronounced by Justice Goff. Becker was convicted on Oct. 24, of instigating the death of the gamblerinformer, who was Biain by east side gangsters. Becker took his sentence calmly. Wife Bears Blow Well. Mrs. Becker was in the court room when Justice Goff pronounced the death decree. Those sitting near the loyal and brave wife of the ex-police official thought sho would break down but she bore up with wonderful fortitude. Becker had just left his wife a few seconds before in the offices of Sheriff Harburger, where there was a pathetic scene. The condemned man gripped his wife in his powerful arms, and for a moment neither spoke. After sentence had been pasBed. Sheriff Harburger began preparations to leave with Becker for Sing Sing prison. Five deputies were ordered to accompany the condemned man. Becker asked for 10 days in which to wind up his affairs, but the sheriff refused to grant this. Attorney John W. Hurt presented a motion for a new trial, but it was overruled by the justice. Becker had Bteeled himBelf for the ordeal. His face was calm and he stood with folded arms. He betrayed no emotion. Without trembling, with lips drawn into a straight line and with eyes that gazed straight ahead he waited the worst. The four gunmen accused of doing the actual killing—Harry Horowitz, alias "Gyp the Blood;" Louis Rosenberg, alias "Lefty Louie;" "Whitey" Lewis, and "Dago Frank" Cirofici — were in no way concerned in the Tombs over the reported confession of William Shapiro, the chauffeur of the auto in which the Rosenthal assassins escaped. The sentence of Becker wiped out any lingering animosity which Mrs. Rosenthal, tho wife of the slain gambler felt. Errors in Ballots of Several Counties. From the secretary of state's office comes tho information that several counties in the state have submitted proof of election ballots in which there are errors, and which will have to be rectified before election day. A number of counties have left the socialist labor ticket, off the ballot, while others have placed the socalist party ticfcet ahead of the prohibitionist. Several counties have not yet submitted a proof of election ballot to the secretary of state and unless they hasten and send them in, there may be many more errors which will not be discovered.

Pottervllle Swept By Fire A fire, thought to*have started from a defective chimney, caused a loss of between $35,000 to $40,000, and with the exception of one store, wiped out the south side of the business section of Pottervllle, six miles northeast of Charlotte. The town has only a small chemical engine for fire protection. Towns were asked to send assistance, but on account of no water supply, apparatus could not be used. Life Sentence for Negro Ax Woman Convicted of the murder of 17 negroes, Clementine Barabet, a mulatto girl, so-called "ax woman" of a religious sect which believed that homicides would add to their glory in the next world, was sentenced in Lafayette, La. to life imprisonment. The series of murders, all commuted with en ax, had caused a panic among negroes In Louisiana. Minnesota Will Remit Millions Secretary of State Fear and State Treasurer Dahl met at the capitol of .Minnesota aB a state board for the ensuing year and decided to remit over $2,000,000 in taxes. In 1911 the board remitted a tax of $450,000 for state -capitol purposes and $490,235 normal school tax. MINISTER ADMITS CRIME Judge and Jury Weep as Minister Pleads For His Life Found guilty in Greenville, South Carolina, of havinjr had criimual relations with three little girls m, the South Carolina,Odd Fellows* home, of which he was uuperiuteudent. Rev. Thurston U. Vaughn, once prominent as a minister, was sentenced to death j in the electric chair December 20 at the state prison at Columbia. The trial was brought to a sensational close when Vaughn made a complete confession. In finding the verdict of guilty the jury only took four minutes for its deliberations and made no recommendations of mercy, for which Vaughn had pleaded with them after his confession. A motion for a new trial was overruled and sentence was passed immediately upon the former minister. Vaughn begged the jury to spare his life, not so much for his sake as for his wife and little daughter. Neither was in court, though they had been with Vaughn since the trial opened. He was formerly assistant superintendent of the First Baptist church Sunday school, one of the largest in this city. He wa sa ministerial student and frequently occupied pulpits of churches in and around Greenville. Big Increase for Postal Service For support of their postal service the people of United States, next year will pay $283,805,760. far more than .for any other branch of the government service. Estimates forwarded to the treasury department by Postmaster General Hitchcock of appropriations necessary to the operation of the post office beginning July 1. 1913, proposes a in« crease of $12,086,909 over appropriations for the current fiscal year. Nearly $10,000,000 of the increase will be required to put into effect the postal legislation enacted this year. It is estimated that $7,240,000 will be needed for the parcels post system; $1,350,000 to meet the conditions required under the new eight-hour law; $750,000 to provide for the reclassification of railway mail clerks; and $150,000 to establish the village free delivery service. $100,000,000 Battleship Launched. With her champagne-spattered bow glistening in the sunshine and a pretty girl enthusiastically shouting, "I christen thee New Yor->," the steel shell of the $10,000,000 super-dreadnaught, that is soon to be the latest "pride of the navy," slid down from the greased, ways in the Brooklyn navy yard into the East river's murky waters. At least. 100,000 persons witnessed the launching, the most notable being President Taft, who, from a private stand smiled on Miss hJsie Calder, daughter of Congressman William M. Calder, as she excitedly crashed a beribboned bottle against the battleship's steel bow. Unveil Plot of White Slavers Superintendent Thomas F. Egan of the Connecticut state police, makes the statement that the band of white slavers who on Thursday night killed Jennie Cavalieri has its headquarters in Brooklyn, N.

Martindale to Sue Kalamazoo Paper Republican party leaders announced that suit would be started in behalf of Secretary of State Martindale against the publishers of the Kalamzoo Gazette. That paper published an editorial on its front page October 23, which was the strongest attack ever made on any candidate in years, it is said. It iB understood that Martindale refused to allow the suit to be started at first because he fer.red that it would rebound to the detriment of the state ticket. The majority of the candidates, however, urged him to take legal action at once, regardless of the effect on them. JAMES SCHOOLCRAFT SHERMAN.

Y„ Oct, 31,—After a long illness .James Schoolcraft Sherman, vice-president of the United States, died in this city at 9:42 o'clock Wednesday night of uremic poisoning caused by Bright's disease. He had been sinking since early morning, and it was realized that death was a question only of a few hours. There was slight relief shortly after seven o'clock, caused by an apparent improvement in the condition of the kidneys, but it did not prove* real or lasting, and at best gave only temporary hope. f Temperature Jumps to 106. At nine o'clock'the patient's temperature jumped to 106. From that time his condition rapidly passed from bad to worse until the end. Mr. Sherman was unconscious when the end came, and had been *in that condition for several hours. All the members of the Immediate family were witnesses to the final Bcene. In addition to Mrs. Sherman there were in the death chamber their three sons, Sherrlll, Richard U. and Thomas H. Sherman, and their respective wives; R. M. and Sanford Sherman, brothers of Mr. Sherman, and Mrs. L. B. Moore and Mrs. H. J. Cookinham, sisters of Mr. Sherman. Born at Utlca, N. Y., O c t 24, 1855. James Schoolcraft Sherman was born in Utica, N. Y„ on October 24, 1855. His parents were Richard U. and Mary Frances Sherman, both of English descent Richard U. Sherman was a journalist by profession. He established the Utica Morning Herald and.later, when politics and public office became his principal concern, he wrote Washington letters for New York papers, in which he praised Roscoe Conkling, who lived in Utica. Vice-President Sherman attended the public schools of Utica and in 1878 was graduated from Hamilton college, which is in a suburb of that city. Two years later he was admitted to the bar and he continued to practice intil tho beginning of the year of 1907. Father Was a Democrat. —Allhjouib^ij^ajth£r_JhM„Jiem_A strong Democrat, Mr. Sherman allied himself at the age of twenty-two with the Republican party. His rise In its ranks was steady. In 1S83 he became Oneida county chairman and one year later he was elected mayor, at the age of t*vm*v.Ti»no. HP was the youngest mayor Utica ever had. xiio congressional career began in Lenient ^Justice. "But look here, Judge," protested Wllloughby, "how could I know about your regulations? I didn't see a stg* all the way over from Yarrowby to Rockville." "They's suthin' in that,* said the Judge, "so III let ye off for costs. Thutty dollars, please." "Thirty dollars?" echoed Wllloughby. "How do you figure out the costs at thirty dollars, I'd like to know?" "Why, it'll cost all o' that, mister, to bev them signs painted an' sot up," said the Judgs.—Harper's Weekly. 1S87 and lasted, with one year's exception, until he ran for vice-president with Taft in 1908. Three times he served as a chairman of state conventions, and he has been "spoken of" in connection with almost every important political post since 1900. In the house Sherman served as chairman of the committee on railways and canals, of the committee on Indian affairs and of the committee on rules, all-powerful in its influence. The part Sherman played in the national councils of the Republican party was more felt than observed, but it was always of highest importance. He was invariably consulted in the mapping out of national campaigns. Was Married in 1881. The vice-president's marriage to Miss Carrie Babcock of East Orange, N. J., granddaughter of Col. Eliaklm Sherrlll, a noted Whig leader in New York in the days of Henry Clay, took place in 1881. His children are Sherrill, a banker; Richard Hugh, a Hamilton college mathematics professor, and Thomas M., an official in one of his father's companies—all married and residents of Utica. Sherman was not long in congress before he was recognized as one of the really Influential men in the national legislature. From the beginning he was one of the most popular men in Washington, with a host of personal friends even among the Democrats. A friend of all the men powerful in his party, his appointments during his eighteen years as congressman were numerous. He was closely allied with Speaker Cannon, and once he tried to get the speakership himself—when Reed retired. A western combination prevented his election, however. Sherman stood next to Speaker Reed in his grasp of parliamentary law. Requested to Stay In Congress. When defeated for the speakership, Sherman was offered the position of secretary of the senate, but waB compelled to decline because of the urgent request of his townsmen that he continue to represent them in congress. This action of his townsmen occurred a second time, when Mc- Kinley offered to make him general appraiser of the port of New York. Mass meetings were held in Utlca and ] great gatherings sent delegates to him to beg him to remain in congress as their»representative. So he declined this place and stayed in congress. W i l l Not Affect Eleptlon. New York, Oct. 31.—The death of Vice-President Sherman will have no effect on the election. The Taft electors, in case of a Taft victory at the polls next Tuesday, will elect a vicepresident The selection will probably be made by the Republican national committee, in case the Republican ticket wins. Disregarding the outcome of the election the country will have no vicepresident up to March 4, 1913, owing Tiie» U I I J / **u.j cu t u i o a. i u a u u i ua^w efbrhood is to feed him to a designing vMdowv ; v ^ C A N ' d t H f c C A t # * » H By «4njr CpU'fj/ effective remedy.

The toll so far paid is rapidly nearing a total of two hundred since the death of Lieutenant Selfridge, of the United States army, in September, 1908. Naturally, Bocae of these fatal accidents were to be expected after flying became a money-making spectacle in some directions. The professional aviator felt obliged to make his flights thrilling in the eyes of the spectator, and to that end he has done things of a venturesome nature for which he has paid dearly more than once. We are not concerned with this phase of the a r t Foolhardiness Is no real part of the effort to-advance human flight, even though attendant mishaps may teach useful lessons. What la of serious concern is the loss of life of those earnestly devoted to the furtherance of the science and the adaptation of the flying machine to the needs of the army and the navy in time of war. These officer students have gone into the work with that spirit of professional devotion which is of the utmost value to the promotion of helpful knowledge, and they have generally avoided those hair-raising performances which are valuable only as an asset for the showman. These calnmnlnded devotees—the term enthusiasts might be misleading—have earnestly striven to make the most out of the instruments placed in their hands, but in doing this they have made more than one fatal stumble despite their caution. The use of the aeroplane in recent military maneuvers has exacted Its doleful price, and It is time that due thought was given some of these many accidents. Strange as it may seem, the recent miBhaps which have been most suggestively illuminating have been those that were generally not fatal in their consequences, although some have exacted the lives of the participants. On March 13 at Johannlsthal, Just outside of Berlin, a flying machine driven by Schade and an aeroplane handled by Rottinger came together while in the air a short distance above the ground. The machines were instantly smashed and sent crashing to the earth. Neither of the aviators was Injured, but a passenger was hurt. Unquestionably, this collision was brought about by the mutual effect of the disturbed air ! between the two machines. The next mishap of a kindred character occurred at Doual, France, on June 19, but with disastrous results. Captain i Dubois and Lieutenant Melgnan, both of the ! army, were operating aeroplanes during a dense ! fog, and drove into each other while going at 1 high speed. Lieutenant Melgnan was killed al- '• most instantly, and Captain Dubois died In the hospital a few hours later. The machines were splintered by the collision. Here we have a counterpart of conditions which have so, often caused trouble upon the water, but conditions which may be even more frequent aloft under atmospheric circumstances of common occurrence. Of course, the gravity of a collision in the air is unfortunately Increased by the necessarily high speed at which the flying machine mmt advance In order to sustain itself la flight. On June 20, at Att-Ies-Baines, Mile. Helene Dutrieu, while aloft, fell upon two ascending monoplanes, and all three machines dropped to the ground in a heap. The two nether aviators were pretty seriously bruised, but Mile. Dutrieu was uninjured, fortunately falling upon the underlying machines and thus having the force of her drop greatly lessened. Undoubtedly, Mile. Dutrieu hit a "hole In the air," and her monoplane started earthward before she could check or control Its descent by a gliding volplane. The question is, What -caused that hole In the afrf Did the movement of the two ascending aeroplanes create the disturbance which narrowly escaped causing a serious catastrophe? This has been answered by subsequent accidents. ' Two French army officers. Lieutenants Brles and Buries, on July 6 started for Belfort, on the eastern frontier, leaving the aeronautic station at v m * Coublay, Just outside of Parte* Ideate*- ant ftrtez had the start of his associate, and was already about six hundred feet, up, when Lieutenant Burlez overtook him, passing at greater speed something like a hundred feet above. Lieutenant Burlez's machine created, BO It is said, a downward moving "hole in the air," and this s.trnck Lieutenant Briez's monoplane in such a manner as to destroy its equilibrium. Lieutehant Briez and his machine were dashed to the earth, the aviator having both legs broken and being otherwise seriously but not fatally injured. In this case the innocent cause of the accident was the movement of the aeroplane passing above at a height of a hundred feet, while Mile. Dutrieu's drop was probably brought about by the maneuvering of the two monoplanes beneath her. These accidents have brought us face to face with new problems in the art of mechanical flight—they show us that we have much to learn about the air in which we are seeking to vie with the bird. The man, In the street has a mistaken notion of what these air holes really are; ho imagines that they are areas of partial vacuum which fall to give the flying machine proper support. The hazard they present is reasonably pictured all the greater because there is no visible sign of their presence—the aircraft just suddenly starts to drop and may fall several hundred feet before the movement can be corrected, if corrected at all. If successful, the nicest Judgment is required on the part of the aviator lest he suddenly bring pressure to bear upon his planes in excess of their reserve of strength-. Collapse of this sort has happened with'dire results upon a number of occasions. But, notwithstanding these physical evidences of something wrong, still, in the stricter sense of the word, the term air hole is a misnomer, and a cavity as such does not really exist, Did you ever watch the surface agitation of a boiling pot? Well, that is substantially a duplication of Just what is going on in the air about UB. The earth acts like a great reflector of the sun's heat and starts the air boiling below here where we are and sends it upward in great columns of rising atmosphere like the movement of the boiling water in the pot. This is what the meteorologist calls "convectional disturbances" of the atmosphere, and he tells us that this state of things would not annoy the aviator if the venturesome airman would only keep aloft at a height of from four to five miles—a matter ot from 21,000 to 29,000 feet in round numbers! Georges Legagneux has recently reached the amazing height of 18,766 feet. — W e are all familiar with the old saying, ^ffihaJL., goes up must come down." In the agitated belt of air the upward rising column of warm air is replaced by a descending column of cooler air. The downward moving column is what really constitutes the so-called "boles" of the aeronaut's parlance. The layman scarcely appreciates the conditions, that are bringing about this convection or boiling motion. When the sun strikes the earth the air Is heated and rises; in the shadow of a cloud the air is cooler and descending. This tee-eawlng Is of greater or lesser magnitude, depending upon the directness of the sun's rays and the temperature ©f the air when shaded. The evenness of the aviators flight or the uniformity of his line of advance—whichever you choose to call it—is controlled by the constancy of the pressure wWch the air exerts on the under or iHting side of tltei planes as his machine' Is driven forward by Its motor. The net result is a sustaining or lifting moment, as the engineer expresses It If the approaching air. instead of moving horizontally or upward in opposition W the surface of the planes, ahould be falling, then the support of the flying machine is suddenly diminished to that extent, and the aeroplane drops. Again, if the aviator Is traveling against a stratum of wind of a definite speed and then purposely descends, reaching an air belt of lower speed or altered direction, these changes may reduce the force of the air striking the surfaces of hfat planes, and this drop in pressure may cause hia machine to fall speedily earthward. This is another proof, of course, of the Imaginary vacant places In the air. We must bear in mind that the problem of the flying machine Is quite distinct from that of the balloon. The balloon floats because it is either lighter than the air it displaces—when it rises—or remains at a fixed altitude because there is a perfect balance between its weight and that of the air which It thrusts aside. It remains aloft whether drifting with the wind or being driven by a motor. The heavier-than-air flying machine, on the other hand, is sustained in flight only so long as its movement forward arouses sufficient opposition on the part of the air to lift or tb sustain It. When the propellers cease to revolve the aeroplane startB earthward, and disaster can be avoided only by volplaning or performing a sweeping fjpiral descent. A maneuver of this sort is nothing more nor less than a modified drop. The safety of the aeroplane, therefore, when in midair, depends upon the nicebalancing of the machine and the proper equalizing of pressure upon the planes. Eddies in the air or any other disturbance which will bring the aeroplane into conflicting atmospheric belts or zones will imperil tho stability of tho ma chine and the life of tho aviator unless he be ever watchful, and there are some of these con ditlons against which Uc cannot sufficiently guard. The flying machine, In going ahead, hits tht air a succession of rapid blows, and by this causes an area of compression which is equal in the force of its reaction to the weight of the flying machine. The fact of it is, this compression actually affects a volume of air equal In weight to the air craft it sustains, and as a cubic foot of atmospheric air weighs only .08 of a pound at the freezing point, a little figuring will show how wide Is the area upon which the aviator must draw for his support. What happens then when the flying machine has moved onward and the atmosphere tries to resume its normal state? The reaction is like the release of a spring, and the air acquires a vibratory motion—greatest in a vertical direction —akin to the prolonged bobblngs of a partly water-soaked log after being hit a blow. But this is not all. We are living at the bottom of an ocean of air, and we are living In that region of the Atmosphere where It is densest. The natural tendency for the atmosphere ia to fall when not made lighter by heat and caused to rise. An aeroplane shooting through this lower belt Is substantially knocking out the foundations from beneath the atmospheric columns reaching many thousands of feet heavenward, and we have In the air a virtual duplication of our bobbing log many, many times repeated at every stage of the onward movement of the flying machine and the successive reactions of tho compressed air which has momentarily sustained that mechanical flight. Isn't It clear, then, that an aviator when passing above or below another aviator is either stumbling into air holes thus created or producing a similar condition to menace his nearby fellow? The airman advancing at the greater speed will produce the wider area of disturbance and, within any prescribed limit, the more dangerous reaction. The flying machine when aloft is in a state of decidedly delicate equilibrium, otherwise the mere flexing of wing tips would be Incapable of correcting its horizontal position. Any change of pressure at the extremity of its wings is equivalent to adding or reducing the weight at the one or the other tip, and an upsetting movement is started. It ia quite probable that even though one aeroplane may be a full hundred feet above or below another; still the greater speed of the STATE SUNDAY SCHOOL M.ETlNG • • * mm - m • i Convention In Lansing Bids Pair to Draw Large Crowd.

(it would have bnen just as line If he'd been three, though, or five. More idiocy.) "And whose little boy are you?" "Mamma's H'l boy." "Aren't you papa's little boy, too?'* "Nope."

The child was informed, and, looking from her doll to the baby, she said: "My, but you have kept It nice.**—• National Monthly. KAKT IM'KKAI.O, N.

This Is certainly what happened In the case of Lieutenant Briez, Mile, Dutrieu and a number of others. The task set the investigators Is that of finding how wide is the region of agitation created by. a flying machine tn flight, and, with this knowledge, to prescribe the rjfcper distances which aviators must 'observe when approaching one another. Fortunately, the flying machine ts now studied in the laboratory, and recent progress in experimental aerodynamics Is doing much toward clearing the way for safe advance in the near future, but the public must be patient and it must realise that flying is full of hasards at best, and we are really scarcely much more than upon the threshhold of this wonderful science.

In fact the course has always been a losiug proposition iu one way or another. Consequently the present Committee decided to increase tkeir number, thus decreasing the loss per man at the end of the season. They have been very fortunate in so doing and the Committee for 1912-13 believing that a good lecture course is for the best interest of the community, agree to stand back of the course, to help iu the sale of tickets, and if necessary to render financial aid. The committee is now composed of MesBrs. ! Dr- H. F. Sigler W. W. Barnard ! Rev. W. H. Ripon W. J . Dunbar R. W. Caverty D. D. Smith Dr. C. L. Sigler Rev. J . W. Mitchell • F„ G. Jackson Wm. S.

I was abcut to leave the capital of Peru wit^^ut dreaming that, within a stone's throw, there were slumbering the ruins of a prehistoric civilization that had not yet passori away when Pizarro laid the foundation of the Ci'.y of the Sovereigns. The sacred city of Pachacamac Is knor>n to, and mentioned by every traveler who incmC.-ca Lima within the limits of his itinerary. It has been visited and described from the days of the Coruiuista- •dores with more or less accuracy, until Ur. Max Uhle made a special study of it and published his monumental work. If these ruins of the Lurin vall «y are world famous, It is not thus with those of the valley of the Rimac, and if Pachacamac Is Xnown to »11, solitary Caja7narqulila is burled *n an obscurity «s deep a* the sand that covers It, -while few, very few, 4Hthorfl even make men- 4IPK of it. I Bald that I was about r1o leave Lima. It was 'fh© CV4} ot my departure wfren * t learned from Profr-KRor Saville, of New York, ihi: weirknown Ecuadorian explorer, that he had visited th(* reiiup that very •dlaj. How l wished that -I could have accompanied him! t concluded f h a f regrets were useless, aad 1 was about to reUoquish all hope of ever seeing the old Peruvian city, when I learned that the departure from Oil la o of the Ucayali had been postponed for a day, Communicating thiH fact to Doctor Saville, he most graciously V9lunteered to accompany me on the morrow. It was an opportunity I readilf grasped. Thus it happened that we met by appointment at the Lima station of the Oroya railroad at 8:30 on a morning early In July. Gray clouds, as usually, hung heavily over the city when we boarded the train... which Boon pulled out of the station, to begin the steep journey up the Andean elopes. A little way .outside of Lima the sun was emitting in a cloudless sky, scattering Its xays through an atmosphere as transparent as any you could wish to see in Castile or Aragon. livrtt and thert on the route the adobe ruins ot pre-Inca civilization might be observed, for the Rimac valley Is richer in such ruins than any other part of the coast. ; The morning was bright and exhilarating when wc arrived at Santa Clara railway station. Leaving Mrs Saville to proceed to Chosica, the professor, his young son, and myself alighted. A little mule car, run on tracks, awaited us. It might accommodate about nine persons. Wc ffpeang to the scats, the driver whipped up his mules, and off we were on the long, sandy road between fields of sugar cane. Poor mules, cut and bleeding, how we pitied them! But in those countries animals are haecUett1 without mercy. A run of a couple bf mi!6B or more, passing on the. way the little train that is used to haul the eanm or carry the laborers, we arrived near the dwelling of the hacienda, now leased, I understand, by Chinese*. Some distance from the house we alighted, to continue the journey on foot in the direction of the mountains. For a while we had n good, though dusty road, but the greater part of the Journey had to be made through sandy plains, which did not Improvo our -parsona! Bppaaranco, ao-that-we prcaTn"r(elf"a71>Tc~ tare of dust and wretchedness on our return to the Hotel Maury in Lima. Our way was now and then obstructed by adobe wails, or by the canals used for irrigation, and over these we had t o climb or jump It was not long before we caught sight cf the ruins, senary and abandoned. With the exception of a herd of cattle and the .mounted herdsmen, bcsldcr -::\ occasirml buzjtarfl or vulture, no living Dei..; was in sight. « Cajamarquilte lies about 2,T niles from Lima, a s yon ascend the valley of the Rimac, but In a aid* valley, in a plain among the spurs of the Jsjtfps, The valley-4e- watered by a canal, dug, paepably, at a period antedating the advent cf tbafSpan lards. In Cie vicinity are several haefesjdaa, each as Huachtpa and La Niverea. and *ati jpccaetonel "tambo" or rural inn, where, If ycu^care to, some kind of refreshment may be had*-' These, however, are hardly Visible from Uw^ruin*. near which on.e solitary hut Is to bo 'aeafF Tears afo, whan Squier vUited the place, iCkagrvlBfl ware the haunt of robbers that gave s o Stttft troukM tn tb** Peruvian authorities, but the W r l f t t c i i t t e » out cf business, and It . , r. . ^ , + . , • . • Jtt&s&z* ^epao? j?r cx&ju*&ue<2ztz$i^h-t is now quite safe to visit Cajamarquilla. In fact, the. thought of robbers was not. connected in my rcJnd with Cajarmarquilla, uniil I read Squier's work. During our brief stay among the ruins, it was impossible to make ahything like measurements, except with the eye, butvns far as the vision extended towards the mountain we saw nothing but ruins which stretched to a great distance to right and left. Toward tho river they Beemed to melt away into the plain. Squier says that they cover an area of nearly a square league, and Middendorf estimates their extent at four square kilometers. Prom my observations, tho ruins consist of houses built of immense adobe blocks, r^oscly adjoining each other, here and there separated by streets. Some of the houses consist of .several apartments. Admission is gained through a low doorway, but nowhere is there a sign of a window. As in Pompeii, the roofs, whatever may have been the material of their construction, have long since fallen in, Outside the buildings, the soil has risen to a great height, sometimes nearly to the top of the wall, but inside the walla the depth gives an idea of the original height of perhaps 10 feet or more. Toward the mountain, a largo portion of the city is almost completely buried in the sand, which in the course of ages has come drifting down from the hills. These a.re within the city a few eleva* tions or small hills, which may have been occupied by temples or forts. Pits are. everywhere within and without the houses, with a width ol from two to four and a depth ranging from six to twenty feet or more, Human remains in the shape of skulls and bones are found within the pits or scattered over the ground, together with bitft of pottery and other articles, such as corncobs. Which were probably interred with the dead. Some of these pits are said to have curved the purposes of storehouses or granaries, while others were certainlycrave*, The inhabitants ©f the city buried their dea£ within or In the immediate vicinity of their houses, although the mass of the people must have used the necropolis, some distance away from the residences. Many of these pits, excavated In the hard soil, are in the form of a Jar or trrn. while others are square. Squier tboa describes the ruins as he saw them: "these consist of three great groups of buildon ami around ihe central mass, with streets passing between them. It would be impossible to describe this complicated mare of massive adobe wftlis^ most of them still standing, albeit m&h shattered toy earthquakes, or to convey an Idea of the pyramidal edifices, rising stage on stage, with terraces and broad flights of steps leading to their summits." He adds that the history of the place has been lost to tradition. As standing on an eminence, surrounded by the ruins, with the silence of death upon you. 'yon Icok down upon what wa3 once a city, capable of containing a population of ten or twelve thousand, you wonder what people dwelt there. The accumulation of soil and tho fact that a large part of the city is buTied would indicate tnMaaote antiquity, and a possible destruction of tin? pitoce long before the advent of tha- Europeans, were' i* not for what Estete tells:. ua. Miguel Estete accompanied Hernando Piaarro fronu Caxamarca to Pachiacamac, at the time when AtahuaJpa's people were scouring the oduitry to collect sufficient gold for the- ransom ..^eftheir unfortunate elite*. He gives us tfae- itinerary of Hernando day by day until the return to Caxamarca. Wherever he goes he finds tho country thickly populated with towns and villages-, suarroimded by cultivated fields oJ maize and 'orchards, with HockJ3 of a kind of sheep. He judges that Pachacamac ia of considerable antiquity, and' he- finds within it a certain number of ruins. No mention is made of Cajamarquilla; y«* it is probable that his Journey led him tterough the valley of the Rimac. and Markham evec supposes that he passed over the present site of Lima. According to Middendorf, who inters his statement from Estete's narrative, the vaiDe-y was at that time thickly populated, having besides many smaller p l a c e s three- large towns, Huadca, mow Huatica, Armatambo, and Cajamarquilla. Huadca, he says, was the principal town of the district. Its ruins stilt exist between Lima anwi the village of Magdalena, but they seem ta be even less known than those of Cajaniarafttilla. The vaMey, together with the entire coast, was overrun and conquered by the Incas, a centur? or score- before the arrival of the Spaniards, about the time that these lords of the Peruvian uplands imposed the-frr rule on the Grand' Chimu farther north and* on Pachacamac. Though there is little or nothing; to indicate an Inca occupation at CajamarquiFIaTit is quite likely that after the conquest Its population more or less mingled with the conquerors. To judge from the names of places In the conquered districts, the victors imposed their language, no doubt gradually supplanting the original tongue of the valleys and eoastlands. Caxamarca is a Quechua name, meaning "rock, city." Caxamarquilla is the Spanish diminutive of Caxamarca. The city in the Rimac valley was thus called Little Caxamarca, to distinguish it, no doubt, from that other Caxamarca to the north, so intimately connected with the sad history of Atahualpa. Among old writers who have treated <4 the ccast people that preceded tho Incas, Don Francisco de Avlla, priest in the principal village of Huarochlrl, may be * profitably consulted. His work was translated and published by Sir Clement Markham, in the forty-eighth volume of the Hakluyt series. Unfortunately, Cajamarquilla furnishes little data to the archaeologist. It contains no inscriptions, no works of art, and its pits have been opened and searched, probably by treasure hunters, who have long since carried off any objects of taluo they may have contained. Yet the ruins aro of the greatest Interest for the beauty of their situation, their general pla#, and their adebe architecture. Cajamarquilla must rank as onb ol the finest remains of that mysterious pre-Inca civilization which existed on the coaot between the Pacific ocean anJ the mighty Andean ranges. Unlike the massive ruins on Lake Titicaca, or the oft-mentioned Pachacamac, it has attracted little attention on the part either of tourist or scientist, and its history doea »ot «xfst. Yet a careful study of its houses, with their apartments, of its streets, and of its burial places may. I think, throw Bome light on the mode of life of the primitive people that once dwelt within it. The ethnologist may also find some material in the skulls that lie scattered throughout the ruined city, or buried in its pits. As you irander through the Rimac valley and contemplate its vast solitudes and crumbling ruins, you ask yourself what has become of the population. Alas, what has become of the Indian population of the West Indies, and where are our Indians of the United States? They have melted away before Caucasian civilization. Some day a patient explorer and archaeologist may pitch his tents among the ruins of Cajamarquilla to study them in detail and force them to reveal some of their secrets. At least he may give us a plan of the city, and reconstruct It drawing some order from Its confusion. For the, present. Cajamarquilla is a mystery.

DAIRY / at E FALL FRESH COWS ARE BEST VALUE OF BLANKETING COWS Practice Adopted In Australia Found to Give Excellent Results Dur-v Ifig Cold Weather. r If Bull Is Confined and Service Controlled, Animals May Be Managed to Suit Owner's Wish. (By W. H. UNDERWOOD.) It is a well known fact that by far a. greater number of dairy cows are allowed to follow the most natural course, and either by indifference or Intention, they freshen in the spring. The producer of milk for sale, if he ha* am «5r*B trade, may want to have an even number of fresh cows in every month pf the year. If the bnll is kept confined and service controlled, this can be regulated as a rule, although unpleasant irregularities in breeding will sometimes occur and stubbornly resist correction. But, if the prime object is to produce the greatest quantity of milk of the best quality and the greatest profit with Any given number of cows with- For some years past a number of dairymen in Australia* have adopted the practice of blanketing cows dur. ing wet and cold weather. The results in every case are spoken of as being highly sattBfacjLDry. When cows are kept warm the food they con-, sume, instead of being utilized to maintain daily heat, is largely devoted to the production of milk, and in this way the dairyman realizes a large profit on the very small outlay required to provide blankets for hi3 cattle in cold weather. Men who have studied the subject clOBely say that the effect of covers on cows is very remarkable. The quiet cows become more quiet and contented, while those that are shy or nervouB have their nerves soothed, and submit of being handled without fear. This is no fad of one or two men, but has become so common that ihe manufacturers have placed several kinds of blankets as coverings on the markets, with a view of supplying the 4$rn$hd that has arisen. It is said, however, that a home-: made blagtfket, made from old wheat bags, selves the purpose as well as anything7. After they have been worn for a sltort, timer- they become thoroughly waterproof. fcifr Prize Holstein Cow. In a year, evidence is overwhelming that the cows should be managed so as to calve during the autumn months. Por like reasons, September Is the best month In most parts of the country, for a heifer to drop her first calf In order to best develop as a cow. This almost regardless of the animal at the first calving. Calves born in the fall are made easily reared and make better cows than those born in the spring and summer. It seems needless to rehearse the stock argument on the subject, based on long experience of successful dairymen, but a brief recapitulation may beuBetnl. - • •-•" The cow or heifer calving In the fall needs the most,tscaltby and tfutrltlour, pasturage ^ust'following';ti|e ."Strain while coifting into full floWv Jnst at this time, when some falling off is likely tq occur, the animal is brought to the stable and receives good care; the winter feeding and the returns from it may be depended upon to exceed the midsummer results for any like period. \ At the stage of milking and gestation, when another dropping off of the milk yield may be looked for, the fresh pastures induce a fresh cow, lengthen the milking season and increase the year's total product. I December and January are good months in which to control and supervise the service of a bull. Midsummer and the dog days are a good time for the cow to be dry and preparing to calve again. With fall-fresh cows, the greatest and richest product comes at the season when milk and butter are always comparatively high in price. , In actual practice four fall-fresh cows have been found equal to five which calved In the spring in 12 months' product and at about fourfifths the cost. SAFETY HOLDER FOR BOTTLES Authorized Person by Use of Key Can Open Lock and Remove Jar from Receptacle. In describing an invention of G. F. Darr of Manhattan, N. Y., for holding milk bottles and other receptacles, the Scientific American says: In the present invention is an improved safety holder for milk -bottles, jars and the like receptacles, intended to be attached to a suitable support and to receive and retain a, bottle against unauthorized removal. MAKE THE SKIMMER SECURE Scheme for Fastening Cream Separator to Cement Floor Tried and Found Very Satisfactory. , Here Is a scheme for fastening a cream eeparator down on a cement floor which we have tried and found very aatisfactory. Before putting in the cement floor, a three-fourths Inch bolt was threaded to the middle, then put through a hole in a small piece of scrap iron, writes Dan Belt of La Crosse, Kaflu, In the Farmer's Mail and Braeae. Tie .bolt and iron were firmly imbedded in the fresh cement, leaving the threaded end sticking out, The base of the separator Was then 'firmly bolted to two pieces of two by four, Holder for Bottles. An authorized person, by use of a key, can readily open the lock and swing the cover open for removal of the receptacle from the casing, as pictured in the perspective view of the safety holder for a milk bottle locked in position in the holder. . Profit of Cow. The milk production alone la not what measures the profit of the cow. It is the difference between the cost of feed and the returns which the milk brings.

And if they hare the Close skimming means more skimmilk left on the place. A bit more feed now that the pastures are. getting shorter. Is your bull gentle? Then get a ring in his nose before night. Draining butter well before salting will help its keeping qualities. Better a nose ring for the young bull than an accident afterward. A brush to wash dairy utensils is more sanitary than the time honored rag. A solid concrete base for the separator will lengthen the life of the ma* chine. It pays in more ways than one to be friendly with the young dairy stock.

For a cheap but effective milk strainer nothing beats several thicknesse of cheesecloth. Let the cream can have the coolest place in the cellar If a tank of cold water Is not available. Dairying goes by spurts, but don't yon spurt. Keep a steady hand on the spurting apparatus. Milk checks don't happen: they come from good feed, good care and, good treatment generally. A few armsful of green forage cut and thrown into the barnyard will make up for short pastures now.

Indeed there are pltasuren of t h e poor. Bays the Kansas City S t a r One is not so sure of the delight of "reposes from bodily toil." That phrase, a s used by De Quincey, is reminiscent of Senator Vest's story or the little negro boy who was pounding his finger with a h a m m e r and was crying from the pain. "Why do you do t h a t ? " the senator asked him, "Oh." he said, "it feels so good when I quit." Hut if the toll is not oppressive, surely the period of rest is the sweeter because of it. The pleasures of the poor include a love of good reading and leisure for it; appetites for the best <ating in the world, boiled dinn e r s ; childhood, storing m e m o r i e s of bwimmin' holes and bare feet and circuses and bumble bee fights; the treat of an occasional good play; the notmiserly exultation at money put by for a rainy day; the selfish satisfaction of self-sacrifice; the romance of youth where marriage is of helpmates, "pard ners." Oh, there are pleasures of the poor—and a country whose pioneers Knew them so well, whose newer com munities know them yet so veil, must restore them by eradicating needless unillumined poverty. BECKER IS FOUND GUILTY Many persons are worrying, <n print aud out of it, lest woman is "making a man of herself," and in her eagerness to grasp new opportunities is forgetting her immemorial privileges. But there is an equally serious cause for anxiety In man's indifference to certain of his prerogatives. He s e e m s to be forgetting the pleasures t h a t accrue to him as a parent. " P a " is no longer "onto his job." Ho h a s turned his respondibilities over to tho feminine side of the house, and is Btarvlng a profound need of his n a t u r e in so doing. There has been rather too much idealization of motherhood ar. the expense of fatherhood.

No question about it, the Ameri c a n father too often is out in the cold, P e r h a p s he made the blunder In Stopping out there himself, but none the less it is the business of the women who are wise and the children who arc dutiful to see that he is brought back into h e a r t association with trie others. i There's one good thing about the dog days coming s o ' l a t e ; they are the insect-breading days The flies and mosquitoes when they begin their season early h a v e a way of s e t t i n g upon people's g a r m e n t s just before they go Indoors and of darting inside whenever screens are opened for a minute.

YOST'S ENDS ARE SKIRTED FOR LONG AND S U B S T A N T I A L GAINS First Quarter is Ail Yost's, But Syracuse Comes Back,—Caste Makes Three Touchdowns For Syracuse Syracuse eaine back; Michigan went back, hence the doleful digits that proclaim an Orange victory in Syracuse, N. V. by a score of IS to 7; three touchdowns to one T h e vanquished team got its m a r k e r in t h e first peroid, the victors one in each succeding quarter. Syracuse, h a m m e r e d and humiliated by the teams that she had played previously, not only beaten but overwhelmed with discouraging regularity, made a supreme effurt in her tussle with the Wolverines. Displaying the sort of football that nobody dreamed was possible for the gridiron, Joe (J rims commanded by Probst and coached by Cummlngs, having nothing to lose and everything to gain, the Orange alert and dashing, thoroughly outplayed Yost's men, who gave the complete repertoire of all that is bad in the a u t u m n diversion, after 10 delicious minutes at the start, when they had the Orange on the run and all ready for a decisive licking. Orangemen Play Well. It was not so much that Syracuse won as that Michigan lost. T h e r e was some good work on the. part of the Salt. City aggregation. It is true, and nobody who saw the game would wisli to delract from the performance of an eleven that had rallied in the face of a most disheartening record, bul at the same time the Orange did not at any time show enough power, speed or versatility to score so decisive a triump uithout the aid of Michigan's horribly erratic and impotent performance.

The swiftness and efficiency of the onward movement of the a r m i e s of the allied Hainan s t a t e s is making Europe open h e r eyes. From the north and all along t h e line from Oreece on the south they are crowding back the boundaries oi the Ottoman empire in Europe. The often predicted and long delayed day when the T u r k will have his back against the wall s e e m s at hand. The two pivotal points of Turkey'? defense on t h e north were Adrianoplt and Uskup. T h e Bulgarian a r m y in the east, has defeated the T u r k s at Kirk-Kilissch, which is the strongest outpost of Adrianople, and a p p e a r s to have almost invested that fortress. Servians Enter Uskup The Servian a r m y in the west walked into Uskup without opposition. T h e Turnish garrison there withdrew on tho railway towards Saloniki. How far it i n t e n d s to r e t r e a t and why are questions. The 0111/ a n s w e r to the" last question is that garrison did not justify an a t t e m p t to m a k e a stand. T h e r e is no position between Uskup and Saloniki better suited for a battle than the one abandoned. The strategy apparently is to follow the line of the railway toward Saloniki. E v e n t s about Adrianople are even more important. T h e Bulgarians apparently are proceeding successfully with the investment of the fortress. The Turkish army which was defeated at Kirk-Kilisseh did not fall back upon Adrianople, but took t h e road to the south w h e r e it could connect with the railway to Contantinople. The second Bulgarian a r m y followed through the mountains carrying on the fighting all day in an endeavor to cut off the r e t r e a t i n g forces. May Starve Out Turks.

Meantime the Montenegrins are pushing their attack on Scutari. T h e Greeks have entered a few small towns in the course of their advance to the north.

An embroidered dotted swiss blouse of this sort, worn with a dull blue worsted suit, had a collar and cuffs of white agarie, and the buttons down the front were of glass with turquoise enamel centers; link cuff buttons to match finished with long sleeves, says the Montreal Star.

Not that this is any new proposition, as these are just the furs every one wore or wanted to wear last winter.

The Women's Home Companion contains an impressive artlclo on grandmothers, in which the author gives the following description of her own grandmother: "A bride at fifteen; a widow with four little children at thirty; flung from wealth to poverty by the Civil war;- confronted with the necessity to earn her own and her children's living in a day when women bad Indeed cause to cry out for better op-1 portunltieB. and through it all strong, patient, serene, the unconquerable soul. "What could be braver, what could be richer, than her life? "What could there be in all human experience to surpass that young love of hers?—the love that one hears, with aching throat and blurred eyes, in the Bingle voice of some throbbing violin when the lights are low and every coarser instrument is hushed? Ah, that is the pure romance, starry, exquisite—fleeting, if you will—but oh, how sweet! "And then—motherhood. The woman of today, with a large and lovely charity, would mother the whole world. Rut she—she mothered her own. And will any woman say that to mother one's own is the lesser joy, the inferior vocation? "Then death—the death of her husband. And I think there can be no sharper test of courage, no deeper call for heroism, than the requirement to smile into one's children's faces, to make life a happy thing for them, when their father lies dead. That is a task to shake the*, heart of the etaunchest; yet she did it. "Soon afterward, the war and financial disaster; the old, old story of the southern wife and widow; the home desecrated for her by the presenco of boarders; the skillful needle put tc such Unwonted service; all the pitiful shifts of unequipped, sensitively bred poverty. These things she did too— and smiled. "And then she lost her first-born, her only son. And she smiled still, for the children who were left. "As her remaining children grew up around her, the stress lightened, There was marriage, there was birth happening about her again—renewals of life.

Hut efficiency experts who work wonders in cutting out waste motions in factories, so that hard-headed businesn men are willing to pay them big money for their services, throw up their hands in horror when they observe how women at home let the precious time slip through their fingers, and wonder where the day has gone. Among tho improvements they suggest is that women use the clock more, agreeing with themselves to get certain things done by certain times, and having certain hours free for culture, devotion and recreation. The necessity of keeping to a schedule means the invention of many short cuts, and puts something of that delightful game spirit into the most commonplace tasks.

Spitzer, who were experimenting with paint as a preventive of the corrosion of iron, it seems that one coat of good paint or varnish is much superior to two or more coats. In their experiments a second coat proved absolutely detrimental. The experiments consisted in painting well polished steel bars with one or more coats and suspending the bars over boiling water for four days. Half of the coating was then removed and the bared metal well covered with vaseline to prevent oxidation. In each case where only one coat of paint had been applied the bars remained as brilliant and rust free as before the test, but in the case of two or more coats, corrosion had taken place. The investigators will not commit themselves as to the explanation of this, but it may h e that a coating of seversl layers provides a lean flexible Cover; more liable to crack, thus allowing oxidizing agents to penetrate to the metal surface.

PLACE APPOINTED Mistake in Posting Letter Proves Right Thing. By HAROLD CARTER. John Brett was in the seventh heaven of happiness on Saturday morning, and there were three distinct contributing causes. First, it was Saturday, and he did not have to go to work that day; second, his new suit had come home; third; and immeasurably greater, though in a measure bound up with reason two, he had received a letter from Georgia Gaines. "Yes, I shall be In town Saturday, but only for a couple of hourB," Bhe wrote. "And then, perhaps, I Bhall answer the question you want to ask me—if you decide to ask it. I shall arrive about 10 o'clock, shall do my chopping at , shall expect you outside- " Brett skimmed the • letter hastily. Later he would read it at leisure, lingering over e a c h r l e t t e r of every word of that handwriting which al- .vay thrilled him, even before he had torn open the envelope. Ou such occasions the address—even the simple superscription, "John Brett, ESQ.," overwhelmed him with emotion. Reason two turned to gall and wormwood. The suit did not lit It did not fit approximately. It might have fitted the Living Skeleton or made a passably good garment for the Elastic Man, but it was not built for John Brett. And there was no possibility of changing it. "I'll take it to the circus—I'll give it to Marcelline, the clown/' he soliloquized, when the first burst of anger had spent itself. "No, I won't, either. I feel so fine today—here, Bill!" The janitor looked up from the yard at tho man in the window. "Here's a new suit for you," cried Brett, and fluns the garments down to him. Then, after donning his ordinary attire, with a little sigh for a lost impression, ho linished his breakfast and went downtown. "Now, whers are we to meet?" he asked himself a little later, and felt for the letter. His pockets Were empty. Suddenly tho appalling consciousness came to him that he had loft the letter in the discarded suit. He rushed back and summoned tho janitor. "I've got to have the letter "Postman," he afMf.

"That'll take three days, You'tt get it tonight if you go home and sit down and cool off a little.'' "Does money talk?" inquired John, waving a ten-dollar bill Ui the air. "Well, I ain't against free speech," answered the other, taking tho bill and handing John the letter. He seized it, and then, so great was the re action, he was uuable to open it for several moments. At last he did so. Inside was a communication from an unknown man. John mado out signaturo with difficulty. Clo—Clo— CloBcflt! Then his senses reasserted themselves. It was the bill for the suit, which the tailor had enclosed in the inside pocket. And he must have loft Georgia's letter at home after all! There was no time to get it. now— not the ghost of a chance that he could return within a half hour of the time, for he know that Georgia must have made it 11:::0 or 11:15 And it was 11:25 now. He tore tho letter into a hundred piece.? ami then, very slowly, with down-hanging head, he walked down Fourteenth street. He would go home, he would write to Georgia and tell her what an ass 1 he had been—no, he would take the first train to her homo and crave, fori giveness. At the thought he swung round, nearly colliding with a young and attractive lady, and started in the direction of the terminal. But before he had gone three- stops he felt a touch on his arm and looked around. "Well, you are rude, running away from me like that!" she said petulantly.
