Moatape For of Probate The many friends of A. A. Montague are urging him to accept the office of Judge of Probate for another term. If he will allow his name to appear on the ballot they will do the rest, they declare. . Mr. Montague has made an excellent officer in the past and that is a guarantee for his constituents for the future. He has the happy faculty of making friends in the discharge of his official dutiet. Then, too, he has the business of probate judge well ID hand, and following the custom of other coQnhes, there is no reason why he should not serve the people another term.—Republican So we say. Judge Montague haB served the county in a faithful manner in the duties of this office, so when we have a good efficient man filling an important office, why make a change. By all means urge him to accept another term, and give it to him. —Livingston Tidings. Brighton people are so well satisfied with the Judge that they had not cons idered any other candidate as being eligible to the nomination.—Brighton Argus. It appears from the above that Judge Montague is as popular in other parts of the county as he is in this vicinity. Bis many friends hope that he will accept the nomination. He will be the strongest candidate we could suggest Connor's Worlds Best Ice Cream • » * ICB CREAM SODABS are all the go rjowadaysfsand Don't Forget, It is the Quality of the cream that makes the aodaes have that cool, delicious and refreshing taste.

Jenkins tells Llghtnut of •the encounter he had with a hideous <"hlnarnan dressed in pajamas. In a m e s s a g e from his friend, Jack Billings, U g t i t n u t is asked to put up "the kid" for the night on his way home from college.

Billings ushered in tne professor jwlth a flourishing Introduction. { The great man never spoke, but Wave me the end of one finger, and fdeviHsh grudgingly at that. He Just came to anchor and stood there very straight and stiff, Ignoring the chairs ^IhniBt toward him from every point. One hand was stuck in his stiff broadcloth bosom, with elbow pointing outiward, and his great topbeavy head •{reared above us Impressively. ] [ addressed the professor hospltajbly; "Ah! won't you sit down, pro- •treflsor?" J He drew back, frowning. "Sit down, !elr?" he questioned. And, by Jove, la not 'sitting down' recrudescence back to the primordial?" So saying, he took a pinch at my shirt front and stepped back again impressively. Then bis great head shot forward In front of his rigid neck—so suddenly, by Jove, that I reached out to try to catch It, don't you know. He made just two strides to the table, ten feet away, and pounced upon the pajamas with obviously trembling hands. And behind his back Billings relapsed into an arm-chair and fanned himself with a magazine. The professor fumblingly sought through his pockets, and producing a pair of spectacles with phenomenally large lenses, adjusted them shakily. He bent over the pajamas eagerly. "Impossible! And yet. It is, it la!" he muttered. "I would' know the weave among a thousand. It is hers undoubtedly, undoubtedly—the lost silk of Sl-Ling-Chl! How comes It here?" He glared around rather wildly at each or us In turn. Without waiting for a reply, he whisked back to the pajamas, and fishing out a thick magnifying lens, scrutinized the garments closely. It seemed that he would certainly nod his big head off its jolly hinge; and his quick side glances at Billings and myself, together with his growling and muttering, Just reminded me of a dog with a bone, by Jove! J stared at Billings and Billings stared at me, and then he slipped over to the divan upon which I dropped, completely exhausted, dash it, from standing so long. "Whose did he say?" he whispered. "Celia something," I answered. "Dash it, I didn't catch her surname. Oh, I say, you know, this is awful!'' Out of the professor's mutterings we caught a random sentence. "Found, found again," we heard him. "say. "Hers be7ondTJeradveBture"-otTT doubtr I-atn not .mLs.tak_en."_ "Ah, gentlemen!" exclaimed the professor, coming back again, "what a thing this little Chinese woman did for civilization when she gave the wvorld silk culture and invented the loom! No wonder the Chinese delned her as a goddess." "Goddess!" Billings swallowed hard. "And did these—h'm—garments belong to the lady?" The professor frowned at him In surprise. "Garments?" 'Them," said Billings In devilish questionable grammar, pointing to the table. "They are pajamas, you know." "Ha!" ejaculated the professor, holding them up. "So they are. You are very observing, sir, very. Now, 1 had not noticed that at all; I was so Interested in the material Itself—the wonderful silk of Sl-Llng-Chl, gentlemen. Ha! Indeed a rare privilege!" He Jutt Came to Anchor and 8tood There Very Quietly. "by-Qrta time he showed hit teetJi^And j By love!

"Only oace before hare I seen a piece of It—but It was enough; I could never, teter target." Something like a groan escaped htm. CHAPTER XVIII. Tfce sXpeft of the Pajtmss, The professor suddenly raced us. ;ho*dfc« up the-pajamas with a ges- '!nrt""of raajttiry. "From a friend of Mr. Ltghtnut's In China," Billings explained. "H'm! In the neck, professor—I mean Inside the collar," be said, approaching the table—" there's some kind of freak lettering. Looks foolish to me." Tht* professor looked perplexed. "I mean, looks like It was done by some one who WSB batty—had wheels, you know; probably some chink whose blBcult was drlfty," floundered Billings. "You understand!" The professor didn't. I knew that Jolly well by the way he cocked his head on one side, standing like a puzzled crow, don't you know. "Ha! I fear I do not as I should," he said with an apologetic cough. "Perhaps I do not Intelligently and logically follow your deductions because your premises are inscrutable until I have seen the lettering. Ah!" Out came glasses and lens and he bent over the collar eagerly. The professor's lips moved rapidly and his visage twlBted Into a horrible frown. "Why, why—a—what!" With mouth open, and gripping the pajamas tightly, he glared at us each in turn. "Oh, impossible!" he rasped harshly, seizing the lens and bending again. "Incredible—poof—absurd — tut, tut, what nonsense!" The glass swept the lines rapidly. Suddenly*, with a cry, the professor dropped the lens, a violent start almost lifting h!m from the floor. "Ridiculous, I say! Poof!" He snapped his fingers. "Necromancy and thaumaturgy transmitted In pajamas! Absurd!" "Piffle!" said Billings emphatically. "Don't know what they are," he whispered to me, "but I'll take a hundredto- one shot on anything he says. The professor's a corker!" "By Jove!" I remarked. "Perhaps Professor Huckleberry won't mind telling "us^-"~~ ~ " ~~" ,LWhatI think, gentlemen^ What could I think but what I am sure is your own conclusion—though you have generously and considerately left me to form my own opinion—namely, that the claim of supernatural attributes of these garments is- preposterous. Enchanted pajamas! Haunted pajamas! Poof! Nursery lore; children's fairy tales! Ghosts, gentlemen? Tut, tut—nonsense!" He snorted Indignantly. "Ghosts!" faltered Billings. "Oh, I say!" I rather gasped. Dash me If it didn't give me a turn, rather! The professor shrugged his Bhoulders. "What other interpretation is admissible, gentlemen?" he questioned somewhat peevishly, taking up the coat. "Here, we have the royal Insignia of the cruel emperor, Kee, and we note that these garments were given some one in his court by the alleged sorcerer, Fuh-keen, Perhaps It was revenge— perhapB some court plot in which Fuh-keen, for reasons of his own, was an active participant; it is of no importance, that part of it. »0 much for the first line; but now we come—" He paused to polish his spectacles. "Tell me," he said more cheerfully, "do our free translations of the ideographs so far agree in essentials— eh?" "Like as tw^ peas!" Billings declared with manifest enthusiasm. The professor looked gratified and bowed. "Now we come to the second line, or, more strictly speaking, column," he said, straightening Impressively. "Here we find the astonishing claim made that there will be a change or metamorphosis of any kind of animal life that these habiliraentB enshroud, Urn!" The great man breathed heavily and batted at us over his glasses. "Creda^ Judaeus apella—eh, gentlemen?" And he winked knowingly. Dashed if he didn't almost catch me swallowing a yawn, too! For I hadn^ any idea what he was talking about or driving at, and, by Jove, 1 did know I was getting devilish sleepy. The professor waved his glasses. "Did you ever read guch a childish, ridiculous, extravagant asseveration?" he demanded. "Ass—eh? I should say so!" 1 worked this off Indignantly. "Tommyrot!" murmured Billings absently. He seemed thoughtful. I was thoughtful, too—wondering, by Jove, whether the professor would go soon, so we could turn in and get the earlier start tomorrow up the river. But chiefly I was wondering wistfully if Frances would still be angry with me. "Moreover," broke In the professor's voice as he turned again to the lettering, "to assert further that there will be a semblance—not actual, gentlemen, mind you, bat an optical lllusioi— taking the form of some ci»atnrS of tne sanwaind that this sttken tenement has previously inclosed. "Jo other words, gentlemen, If I were to don these garments, I might no longer look like myself, but like some one else who bad worn them upon some previous occasion—perhaps last night- -pernape a thousand years age. Eh? Is that what you understand?" He ducked again over the letter* and came up, looking chagrined. "Moreover, I am forced to confess, gentlemen, that I fall to find a system— any rule governing these ridiculous transformations. The hypothesis Is, therefore, that the alleged materializations merely follow the arbitrary caprice of the magic." He shook his head. "Well, gentlemen, I— really, I must laugh!" And he did! I hadn't caught the drift of what it was he thought he was laughing at—I got the words, but I was too dashed sleepy to get the sense. But I was awfully glad I understood this much—that what he ww attempting now was a laugh. I never would have known It. It was more like a shrieking squeak—rusty hinge, you know, that sort of thing. The professor looked up from the pajamas, and folding his arms, eyed Billings with a cunning leer. "I think I see," he said, leveling his finger. "You have both demonstrated how nonsensical Is the assertion in this Inscription. Doubtless you desire an experiment upon my part to confirm your proof of its absurdity. Reductio ad absurdum—eh, gentlemen?" A devilish queer look had come into Billings' face. He nodded, gathered " I Think I See." the pajamas Into the professor's arms and patted him on the shoulder in a way I thought offensively familiar. "You've got it, professor!" he said, grinning. Then he whispered to me aside: "Not a word, Dicky—great Scott!" But he needn't have Bald that, even If I had been mind-reader enough to guess what word he meant. It was about all I could do to get out a last word to the professor as he went out the door: '"Night!" Satisfies There never was a thirst that Coca-Cola couldn't satisfy. It goes, straight as an arrow, to tne dry spot. And besides this, Arrow (bink & • rrCv satisfies to a T the call for something purely delicious and deliriously pure—and wholesome.

A movement has been started in Frankfort, Ky., to preserve the "little red brick" building on the old State House square on account of its historic interest. The building now standing is 98 years old, and Daniel Boone, on tbe occasion of visits t6 -Frankfort after-It was-erected, visitedthe offices on business. In two years the building will be 100 years old, if left standing, and is the oldest state building in existence. No Novelty. -liEeople are queer." "I have heard rumors to that effect." "Frequently they pay money to go to theaters for the purpose of seeing ballet dancers walk around on their toes when women are doing the same thing In the streets all the time."

I stood, cap in hand, one foot on the sidewalk before the Kahoka, the other on the running-board of the car —a big double-tonneau red whale sort of affair. This was as far as I had been admitted to the vehicle. For the frump was sitting there behind the steering wheel, looking down at me in a nasty, sldewlse fashion. Ever have them do you that way?

The lack of trees is painfully evident In the newer districts, especially in the regions covered by the £reat tires ot 1871 and 1881.' A well grown, well placed windbreak possesses great ornamental and practical value and Is one of the easiest and best methods of adding to the number of farm trees. The value cf a wind-break about farm buildings is most evident, of course, In winter when it protectB the stock and prevents drifts by causing the snow to ta;t evenly over cne protected area. In^flelde the soil is kept more evenly covered, thus preventing winter killing of such crops as wheat, alfalfa and clover. In summer the soil in the piotected area retains moisture better and the humidity of the air is greater In the shadow, The region in the lea of the wind-break is protected one rod in width for each foot of hf.igh't of the trees. For example, a wind-break thirty feet high should protect a strip of land lying next to it, thirty rods wide. As a matter of fact this rule holds true for the wind-break on the College farm as may readily be Been on a windy day of either summer ' or winter. Not least in the list of [benefits Is the fact that an evergreen • i . wind-break affords protection for birds tl^e year around. The cost of planting a wind-break need not be excessive.

Such stock should cost from eight to twelve dollars per thousand. The ground where the wind-break is to stand should be plowed and cropped one year before setting out the trees. This treatment makes regular cultivation possible until the trees are too large tc work. Grass should not be allowed to grow^about the young trees if rapid, healthy growth is desired. The two trees most widely used for this purpose are Norway Spruce and White Pine. The White Pine gives best results on the heavier soils, both clay loams and peat loams, while Norway Spruce is better adapted to the lighter soils and sandy loams. The White Pine wind-break (shown in the illustration), oh the Agricultural College farm is seven-eighths of a mile in length with an average height of from 25 to 30 feet. Three-year-old stock was used in the planting, which was done during the seasons of 189(J and 1900.

TO MOVE ON CHICAGO SOON A young laundry girl addressing the Twilight club upon the conditions under which her comrades live and work said: "Sometimes college girls work in the shops for a couple of weeks, and then go back and report that it is all nonsense for working girls to say they can't get along on jthe wages~they "get,"~ But~Tt~ls~aTdif" Ferent thing to get along on $4 a week when you know you can quit at any time." In the truth of that saying lies the chasm that separates the well-to-do from the very poor. By most men and women of means every effort to assist or even to understand the problems of the poor is made under an impulse of sentiment, says the New York World. But to the poor themselves the problem Is one of dire struggle for existence, including in Its scope the life not only of the body, but of the brain and the soul.

At least 150 newspaper correspondents will desert the galleries of congress some days in advance of the Republican convention to go to the Lake city, to report not only the convention itself, but the boujodj:£ojbej_ntexe6tlng. iirelimlnarje.s,_ There will be 600 newspaper men in attendance at bofh conventions. Prior to the conventions, the national committeemen of both parties are extremely busy men, but there are others who have to work also. The correspondents in Washington have what 1B called a standing committee whose duties It is to regulate the press galleries, to decide on who is entitled to admission and who Is not, to investigate in the rare cases where some correspondent is charged with unprofessional conduct, and to do many other things in the way of "regulation and good government." Mr. Albert's Large Task. The chairman of the standing committee of correspondents is Charlea S. Albert. To Mr. Albert have come the applications from all the managing editors of the daily papers of the country asking for assignments of seats on the press platforms of the two conventions. It is also the duty of the chairman to confer with the other members of the standing committee and to determine whether or not the demands of the different newspapers have been out of keeping with the real news necessities in the case. It is rather a difficult and delicate Job t^o determine Just how many seats the newspapers are entitled to. When all the applications are In, the requests for newspaper seats are turned over by~the standing committee to the chairman of the national committees on the management of the two conventions, and the seats are assigned. In the house press gallery acting as its superintendent Is a government employee who has been for something like thirty years at his post of duty. He is Charles H. Mann, a Marylander. He is not only a veteran of the Washington service, but a veteran of the convention eervice. In the senate press gallery as superintendent is James D. Preston, young and extraordinarily active. He has been traveling back and forth between Baltimore and Washington several times a week ever since the Democratic national committeemen fixed on Baltimore as the place for the convention. It Is not too much to say that Mr. Preston probably knows just what kind of quarters have been assigned each Individual correspondent It has been one of his duties to see to It that the. writers have places to which they can go to pound out for themselves, or to dictate, instant copy. Department Press Agents Accused. Members of the house rules committee recently have been investigating "the use of press agents by the departments of government." In many of the departments men are employed to put out information concerning the work which the government intends to do along certain lines. Much of this material is sent to Washington correspondents and a good deal of it is use* ful, for it contains facts which are of service In writing articles concerning the activities of the government. The charge has been made that some of the publicity agents of the departments have gone beyond the boundi of propriety and have put out matter intended not only to defend officials from attack, but to bring discredit upon people who have criticised the workings of the departments. The direct charge made concerning " t h e . pernicious publicity activity" considered by the home rules committee had to do with material furnished by the department of agriculture which, ft is said, was seat out in franked envelopes and which was intended, so it is asserted, to hamper the Investigation which was being made into meat inspection affairs. Publicity That Has Vakie. The government has benefitted vastly by its attempts to employ proper publicity agents, and if any of the writers on behalf of the government service have overstepped the bounds of propriety they have unquestionably dealt a blow to publicity of the right kind. Take the bureau of education, for Instance. It furnishes and has been furnishing for some time Interesting matter concerning educational affairs all over the country, and the trend of education in other countries. In the main it Is wholesome stuff and frequently it has not only real educational value, but real news value. The stopping up of this source of educational publicity probably would not only be an injury to the government. but a distinct loss to educators all over the country who take a deep interest in their profession and all that pertains to It. Of course the publicity matter referred to does not include the regular publications of the departments. There has been no hint of an intention to interfere with their issue. Not long ago there was established by congress what waB called a bureau of mines. The officers of this bureau are engaged in the work of showing mining corporations and their employes how to prevent accidents and how to save life and property. Some of the material furnished by the publicity agent of this bureau has been read by hundreds of thousands of people the country through. Frequently these articles have been accompanied by illustrations made from photographs of actual accident and life-saving scenes. The state department also has a publicity agent, and now much materia] is given out of a kind which before this was held secret simply because the holding of everything secret was the department's custom. Cheaper Money for Farmers. The American state department through five of its ambassadors has been investigating European systems by which the farmers there are enabled to borrow money at reasonable rates. The intention of the state department, after studying the results of the investigation, is to attempt to introduce- the--European -syetem-in tbi&- country, so that the American farmer can borrow money at cheaper rates. It seem^s to be the administration's thought that if the European system is adopted in America the farmer can raise money on his farm by means of a bond saleable in any part of the country. In Europe, It is said, the farmer borrows on equal terms with the biggest railroad, industrial corporation or municipality. The state department in a printed communication to the public on the matter says: "The investigation is considered one of the most important undertakings yet attempted in dollar diplomacy. Myron T. Herrlck, the newly appointed ambassador to France, is Secretary Knox's right-hand man in the investigation. Mr. Herrick is himself the product of an Ohio farm, and has made the "problem of the farmer" a hobby for years. When the work in Europe is completed the state department will prepare an organization plan to fit the scheme to American conditions, and a legislative program will probably be mapped out for the president to-submit to congress, The investigation is centered about the Credit Fonder of France and the Landschaften of Germany. How the Credit Fonder Works. "The Credit Foncier Is a limited-liability company operated under the supervision of the French government for the purpose of lending money to public service corporations, communities, counties and landowners, and to create and negotiate bonds based on mortgages, which are limited to the amount due from the lender. In other words, the Credit Foncier acts as the agent for the French farmer, so that instead of seeking to raise money directly from some local investor by mortgaging his farm, the farmer places his mortgage with the Credit Foncier, which in turn issues a bond based upon that mortgage and which can be sold anywhere throughout the country. In this way the French farmer is freed from the necessity of borrowing in the limited market of his own Immediate vicinity. "It is Just this restriction i hich is forcing the American farmer to pay exorbitant rates of Interest and to put up with none too acceptable terms. In this country the farmer is practically forced to borrow from some investor in his community. If local conditions make money "tight" there he suffers accordingly. In one section of the country he pays six per cent, in* terest, and in another ten per cent., though in both instances the security offered may be the tame. Never can he compete with the bonds of the big industrial corporations, though In many instances the security which he offers is JuBt as good as that of the corporation." It is intended to make the venture, if adopted here, a*project primarily for the benefit of the farmer. The promoters of the plan are not to receive any portion of the profits, and even the earnings o f the stockholders will have to he kept down to very reasonable rateB.

Those who examined the returns were unable to guess closely at the plurality for Col. Roosevelt, as the figures from several counties had not been tabulated, but former ex-Goveimr Stokes, Col. Roosevelt's representative at Trenton, said that Col. Roosevelt would have a plurality of between 1;>,000 and 30,00((. W i l s o n V i c t o r y C l e a n Cut.

The proposition that the city bond itself for $000,000 to buy the Ann Arbor water works plant and improve it, lost by a majority of 605 at the second election held in Ann Arbor. At the first election, held April 1, there was a majority of 473 in favor of buying the plant, but that majority lacked two votes of the necessary three-fifths majority. Guerrilla Warfare in Cuba.

Cattle Shortage Denied by Bureau. • In a statement issued tl*e department of commerce and labor takes direct issue with the dealers' association which holds that the advance in price of meats is due to a shortage of cattle. Not since 1907, according to the department, have receipts of cattle been so great as in April of this year. In their statement the dealers said: "The rise in prices is due to a shortage in shipments from the west. The production of native steers is said to be 25 per cent less than it was a year ago. The consumer is bearing the brunt of these conditions." As to the receipt of hogs the report states: "The receipts, in April of this year for hogs show a considerable increase, and the number of sheep received is likewise greater than the number received in any April during the past decade."

Plain hats, simply trimmed, with a single "stick-up" of flowers, ribbon or feathers, caught the popular fancy with amazing strength and rapidity. They became so popular, in fact, that their days with fashionables are numbered. Those who are always looking for "something different" must, of necessity, insist upon something more elaborate. This fashion shone at its best in mourning millinery where graceful, beautifully made hats of crepe depend &fea 4 upon small decorations, also made of crepe, to complete them. Almost all the best models in mourning hats employ nothing but crepe in their trimming. The popularity of stick-up effects gave the millinery an opportunity to copy all sorts of millinery trimmings, as wings, bows, cabochons and other ornaments, making them up of crepe folds or cords or plaltings. The exact and beautiful workmanship and the Ingenious designs have resulted in the most elegant and attractive crepe hats ever shown. The mourning hat made of silk grenadine and other special weaves of •Bilk are covered quite smoothly and decorated with bands of crepe shaped to fit about the crown. These are also finished with a trimming made of crepe, as shown in Fig. 1. Crepe is one of the few fabrics which is equally good In the body of a hat and in its decoration, i It is more used in the composition of mourning gowns and wraps than ever before. Here it is applied in shaped borders, panels and applique designs. Very rarely whole gowns are made of it, but there are numbers of beautiful blouses made all of crepe, or of crepe combined with other fabrics. BRASSIERE IS A BLESSING Keeps the Figure Looking Trim Above the Waist, a Highly Desirable Effect ^ One doesn't have to be uncomfortable in these enlightened days of the brasBleres which support the bust, keeps the figure looking trim above the t>elt, while below that may be worn hip restralners, meaning stays, which have only a few flexible whalebones which you'll scarcely know are present. If you don't care to buy ready-made a brassiere that is all lace insertion and satin ribbons, you may make one for yourself by using as a pattern the upper half of a tight-fitting underwaist or corset cover, the old-fashioned garment which Is the ugliest thing imaginable, but which still is lurking in the wardrobe of nearly every middle-aged woman. Make the brassiere of fine lawn, BYench dimity or batiste, fasten it over the shoulders with bands of handembroidered lingerie material and edge it all round with lace, but don't run ribbons through beading because that sort of frivolity has gone out of date and whatever happens, you don't want to be behind the times. UBe satin flowers instead. Put a fine row of tiny rosebuds across one shoulder or a Ittt le-ehister-of-forget-me-nots- ov-e* the band where the fronts close and your brassiere will look so fascinating ihat you'll enjoy putting it on, and incidentally, you'll wonder how you ever managed without It. AM Day Bag. "Even though you never would dream of carrying a handbag in America, you must take one with you to Europe, where they are considerably more expensive to buy than at home, and where you will need one every time that you start for a single day's excursion," warned an experienced tourist while advising a friend about to depart for her first trip across tho Atlantic. "This all day bag need not be weighty, but It must be sufficiently capacious to hold extra gloves and a handkerchief, a very slender folding comb and toothbrush, a tiny cake of soap, hand towel, self-feeding powder puff, rubber sandals, hand mirror, chiffon veil of good size, fountain pen, notebook and needle case. With that sort of equipment a woman can keep herself looking tidy for a number of hours and she is prepared for almost any emergency likely to arise." NOTED AVIATOR DEAD.

President Struck by Wad of Paper. Chief Wilkie, of the secret service, has been conducting a quiet investigation into an attempted attack on President Taft which occurred while the president was speaking in the public square in Rutherford, N. J. Mr. Wllkie put through the third degree em Italian who is said to have thrown a package which hit the president in the face. Thus far no arrest has been made. A statement given out by Frank M. Buckies, leader of the Taft organization, regarding the Italian's attack, says: "The twelve hundred persons assembled In the public square were disappointed in not hearing the president speak because of the act of a vandal. As the package struck the president's face, or came down, scraping his face, he was about to speak but the secret service men pushed him back in his seat and took charge of affairs. They pushed the car ahead at full speed through the crotfd, not knowing what was iu the paper, and got .away. Later they informed me that the paper had been soaked in water to make it heavy."

Hallen died in the City hospital. When the young woman was taken to Chief Behrendt's office, the latter informed her that he had talked with Hallen and wanted to get her aide of the story. Thinking her lover had told of the shooting, she readily fell into the trap, admitting that she ran away with Hallen, who left a wife and child in Janesvllle, Wis., a few months ago, and that she shot him because he aald he was going to Rockford to BOO hia wife. "I told him I had but 35 cents and asked him to give me a dollar in order that I might move my trunk. If he had given me that dollar I don't believe I would have shot him, but the sneering manner in which he advised me to go back to the streets stirred up something that caused me to pull the revolver from under the mattress and shoot."

Ever since they were married at "Ton la "about sTx years ago.whcn Mrs. Wibert was only-fifteen years of age, the husband and wife have evidently had a stormy domestic life. Miss Alice Harrell, a friend of the dead woman, who has lived at their home for some time, says that she has gften heard Mr«. Wibert say: "I'd like to take Just enough poison to scare Mel good." Two or three times she has taken chloroform or something else, it is said, in the effort to give Wibert "a good scare." Petoskey. — Lightning struck the J. D.

Can Be Made of the Cheaper Cuti of Besf With Excellent Results —Eye of Beef Is Best Cut. Pot roast is one • of the delicious meat diahes that can be made of the cheaper (not the cheapest) cutB of beef with excellent results. It is a great mistake to imagine that the cheaper cuts of meat are less nutritious, the fact being that these offer the most of nutriment and smallest waste. For example, the first ribs of beef contain about 13.6 per cent, proteid or body building material, and the hindquarter 18.7 per cent, of proteid material. Perhaps it Is not fair to call pot roast a cheap dish, because the prices vary an widely in different localities, and the cuts var^ so much. In the vicinity of Providence, R. I., for example, our correspondents report prices it 12 to IS cents a pound; in Philadelphia, 14 to 20 cents, and in New York, 18 to 22 cents. In Providence they sell for pot roast the rump (14 to 16 cents), shoulder (12 to 14 cents), and bottom round (10 to 18 cents); in Philadelphia and vicinity the chuck roast, next to ribB (14 cents), shoulde* cut (16 to 18 cents), and the ribr, (18 to 20 cents). In New York City and the west prices are higher and their range is greater. The cuts are bottom round, top sirloin (which is too expansive, aa a rule, and requires less cooking), top round and briaket, 16 to 22 cents. The eye of the beef is considered the epicurean cut for pot roast. This is a triangular piece of meat taken from the hindquarter between the top and bottom round after the bone has been removed. In the west, pot roast is often made by cutting vertically through the bottom and top round (inside round) Instead of cutting either the bottom or the top roi^nd (inside round) separately, as is done in the east. This top round or part on the inside of the hindquarter is exceptionally good for pot roast. _ -la- -different- kw^allties-4he—names- ofbeef cuts are entirely different. In some places, for example, the flank 1B cut so as to Include more of the loin, in which case the upper portion is often called the flank steak. Sometimes the rump i3 called the rump steak; the inside round, thi top round; the plate, the rattle. Often the cross ribs and brisket are included together under the name of cross ribs; the forepart of the cross ribs is often called the shoulder clod and the leg underneath the second round is called the hind shoulder. Often, too, the socket and rump together are called simply the rump. Consequently oue must know from what part of the b9ef the meat should be cut and how It looks. This knowledge must be acquired in actual marketing.—Good Housekeeping Magazine. NICE LEMON LAYER CAKE Rtcipe That Insures a Product That Will Do Credit to the Cook.

Dry Pumpkin Pie. Stew pumpkin or squaBhes as for any ordinary pie, putting a layer about half inch thick in tins and place In warming closet In range to dry. If the pumpkin Is stewed till quite dry it will take only a very short time to dry sufficiently to keep all winter. There is no danger of thfcr spoiling, as with canned pumpkin. Soak a portion of this dry pumpkin over night in milk; in the morning place in saucepan on stove until hot, stirring occasionally.

With the Beore standing 9 to 5 in their favor in the 7th, Pinckney by means of a number of wild throws allowed Howell to score 5 runs and cinch the game. Howell started a southpaw in the box and what happened to him was awful. He walked l,hit 1 and was pound* ed for 4 singles and a triple in the 1st inning and the boys would no doubt be batting yet if he had not been relieved by Newcombe. Newcombe was a puzzle to everybody except to Pinckney's two slugging outfielders who clouted him for a couple of bingles apiece.

COONS, Roaamrch Assistant in tHant Pathology, Mrtbfcul Asjricahural College Apple Scab, Advanced Stags. 1 Apple scab 1B a disease found on all .varieties of apples, which is caused 3>y •% parasitic fungus. A parasitic 'fungus is a plant which lives on another plant, taking its food from the ihosL Fungi are not able to make <their own food as the ordinary green plants can, but live entirely on food prepared by others. Some fungi are found only oh dead material. These are useful in nature In decomposition processes. Other fungi, such as apote •cab, are parasitic, attacking living 'Plants and producing serious disturbances in the host. Fungi are spread ,by means of small fruiting bodies ^c&Ilea? sporeeJ These serve the same purposes as seeds of other plants, but spores are a great deal smaller and ijnuch more simple than seeds, The symptoms of apple scab are shown fairly well in the accompanying c u t This, however, shows the effect *only on the fruit and many fruit growers believe that apple scab occurs only on the fruit. It Is true that It is most conspicuous here and for a ^given year produces loss on that part of the plant. Apple scab, however, is also found upon the leaves, and here great damage, although for the larger )>art unnoticed—is done, if you will examine carefully the leaves of the ^trees that have not been sprayed, you •will find that the leaves are blotched ^ t h sooty, velvety spots both on the topper and lower surface. „ Sometimes tthese blotches are extensive enough t o cause the curling of the leaves alnce the scab fungus kills the tissue a t that point and the growth of the leaf causes the blade to curl around the dead spots. Very frequently duri n g the rainy season apple scab is so •evere on the leaves as to cause conv plete defoliation. It is under such iconditions as this that heavy loss occurs and a great drain on the vitality sists In covering the part to be protected with a solution poisonous to the fungus Bports. On leaves and fruit protected in such a manner, the fungus spores are either killed directly, or, if they do germinate, the tender germ sprouts are killed and entrance to the times is thus prevented. This point explains a great deal about spraying, it explains why frequent sprayings throughout the growing season are J"eQUire<j[ since the leaves expand and put out hew growth and the fruits also increase in size and frequent sprayings keep all the new and tender growth covered. This principle also explains why so much empnasis is put on thorough spraying—spraying with a mist and not with spattering drops, since the pores are small and a very small amount of the chemical is needed at one place, but a great area must be covered. Farmers can follow no better rule than that given in the spraying bulletin recently published by the college, which reads as follows: Just before the buds open, if the scale be present, spray with strong lime-sulphur. Just before the blossoms open, or when they are "In the pink," a spraying must be made to prevent scab and other fungus diseases. Use dilute lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture. After the blossoms fall and the stamens wither and before the calyx closes, another spraying must be made Just like the one before. About two weeks later, after the above spraying, make another. Use Bame mixture and poison as in previous spraying. Late in July or early in August there will be a second generation of codling moths. Copies of the bulletin wfTI be sent to anyone who writes for it. This bulletin also tells how to make the different sprays which are in use.

ANTS AID CORN-ROOT LOUSE Little Brown Insects Care for lt> jurious Aphis Because of U k l n g for "Honey Dew." PRETTY FLOWERS IN GARDEN (By R. L. you notice WEBSTER.) If you notice your corn plants dwarfing in patches over the field and the leaves of such plants turning yellow or a reddish color, look carefully around the base of the stalks for ant hills. If numerous ant hills are found, you may conclude that the corn-root louse is sucking the Juice from" the corn roots, weakening the stalks and consequently reducing the yield. It is the presence of the ants that Is the interesting part of the story. The root aphis secretea a sweet sub- Winged and Wingless Louse. Corn-Root Qrest Beauty and Fragrance of 8wsst Psas Make Them Most HOSJHJS*^- Must Haws 8upp*rt. Sweet pea vines must have good support. Brush brsmcaes eult them better than anything else, but these are sot always easy to g e t A. good substitute for brush Is very coarse meshed wire netting. As soon as the plants begin to bloom begin to cut from them. The more blossoms you cut off the more you will have. If care is taken to remove the blossoms as soon as they begin to fade, the plants will continue to bloom until frost comes; but if seed is allowed to ripen, you will have but few flowers during the latter part of the season. In cutting sweet peas give the flowers as long stems as possible. Never crowd them in vase or bowl. JuBt bunch them loosely in the hand, and then drop them into whatever is to hold them, give it a shape, and lo, your flowers will have arranged themselves to perfection. No garden Bhould be without some sweet pea vines. The great beauty and fragrance of the blossoms make them one of the most popular of flowers. POSTS KEPT FROM SPREADING Cumbersome Braces Done Away With by Connecting Rod Placed Beneath Surface of Earth. l A f f t r i e Scab, Early Stage on Fruit. of tke frult-produclng power takes ptaee. Bines the great part of the dry matter that goes to make up the fruit of the apple is manufactured from-, carbon dioxide of the air and water, by the leaves, anything which interferes with the proper working of the leaves endangers the fruit crop of •the following year. Therefore, an attack of scab not only produces unsaleable fruit during the year of the attack,' but It weakens the tree and cuts down the crop the next year. Apple scab lives over winter on the old fruits and the leaves, very largely, and it is probable that from this source, the spring attacks of the disease start. Whenever a spore which has ttved over winter is blown upon the leaf, blossom or a young ftalt, and is given the right conditions for germination, it is able to produce * tcan spot. Each scab spot o n Use'ippia or on the leaf started fray* tbe single spore and when one coasttert that e r a scab spot started front tats single spore Is able to produo © ml^hjons of spores, each one capable o f atarttof a new scab spot, I t hv easjL to see bow the disease apraaolf'through the orchard and how BO froU* on unsprayed trees escape.

For this reason the root lice are very well cared for by the ants, and especially by one kind of ant known as the "little brown ant" In the fall the ants take the eggs of the root aphis down Into their nests and keep them there throughout the winter. The next spring, when the egsg hatch, the ants place the young root lice on the roots of the common smartweed, or some other common weed, where the lice begin to feed. Later oa, if the ground be planted to corn, the ants transfer the root lice from the weeds to the corn roots. So the ants care for the root aphis* and in order to fight the root aphis the farmer must fight the little hewwu int. A deep;_thoroug¥1sTrrlThgT^lBe^io^ on old corn ground will tend to* ye" duce injury by the root lonse. Tftis stirring of the soil breaks up taw nests and scatters the ants. Consev quently the ants cannot give the Hose the proper care. The burrows of these ants do not often reach to a depth of more than six inches. If the ground! Is stirred at that depth, the attempts of the susts to recover their property and reconstruct their nests are ren»- dered largely fruitless. ie*elat I t« to rffepakrv.

S H A W , Director Mlcbia-aa Experiment Statio*. The past winter has witnessed a shortage of hay with market prices at an exceedingly high level and the prospects for a large crop during the present season are not good. Because of the unusual severity of the drouth one year ago catches of grass aad clover seed either failed or suffered more or less injury. During the wh> ter just passed new meadows were injured more or less in many localities. In addition to this the total area seeded has been reduced somewhat because of the high prices of grass and clover seeds. The probable hay shortage during the present season creates a serious situation confronting the Michigan farmer who keeps live stock. This shortage can be overcome in part by growing more corn. We do not believe the area of corn grown in hills for husking or for the silo should be J reduced hut more fodder corn should be grown. This class of corn does not rush the work of the ordinary corn planting season for it can be sown later In the season any time from May 24th to June 15th, depending on the location, kind of soil and character of the season. Corn of this kind should not be grown for the purpose of husking but'rather for feeding in the bundle or shredded form. An endeavor should be made to produce In the crop not less than 50 per cent, of a normal yield of ears. Even more than this would be desirable for many kinds of live stock to which it might be fed. It is of course desirable in order to get a good crop of fodder corn that it be planted on a fairly rich well prepared soil. It can be drilled in rows about three feet apart with the stalks twelve inches apart in the row. These distances should of course be varied somewhat to meet the particular needs. Corn thus grown can be. fed during the winter from the Bhock or stack and is well suited to the needs of horses, cattle and sheep when forming a part of the ration only, being supplemented by some leguminous roughage, concentrates or succulence according toHhe kind and condition of the animal and the purpose for which It is being fed. It is only when corn fodder or corn stalks only, with or without the addition of straw, forms the exclusive diet throughout long periods of time that unsatisfactory results arise. Under the present conditions we cannot urge Michigan farmers too strongly to grow moro fodder corn this season in order to cope with the scarcity and high prices of feed which are likely to continue throughout the coming winter.

At least every' ether day they get over their patch of vinea and look for the very dark green water and swollen, watery appearance of the leaves of the plana*. A little later the leaves and: vines take oa a black, powdery cast: that no one eaa mistake. The leave* euri aader. bat do not begin tx>> w.iib eomettnee far days. By keeping careful watch and destroying the plants as they show the presence* of aphis; one can usually control: the pest. Scatter straw over the infested hill and burn at once. To. attempt to carry the vines to the edge of the field will simply spread the Uneect. After bsurning a hill keep careful watch ever adjoining hills, to see that the insect* have not spread. Of course, the same treatment is recomr mended! for encumbers. Catalpa Pence Posts. Catalpa specloaa is a good tresv It makes a post sometimes in eight y e a n , sometimes in ten. We have so many better trees, however, that we don't have to fall back on the catnips, says a writer in the Ohio Farmer. I have tried a little catalpa to see what it would do. In some sections we have chosen the white oak. In South Georgia we have an excellent post, when we can get it, of long leaf pine. Where we cannot get that, we have the loblolly pine, and the short leaf pine can be used if we treat it with creosote to the amount of 15 cents a post, and it will last 15 to 80 years. / •scttrts for Alfalfa Sell. Alfalfa needs a certain kind of bacteria in the soil to give the best results. These bacteria live on the roots of the plants, ana give off as a by-product the nitrogen Which the plant needs. This is an example ©! ao-operation in nature. In the soils where sweet clover has grown, these bacts*hv are usually present, tf they are not, it Is sometimes necessary to get soil from some field where alfalfa Is growing, or some sweet clover soil, and scatter tt over the alfalfa patch.

Kalama»o$.Vr Levi Fisher, aged eighty-eight years, and for nearly seventy years a resident of Kalamazoo county, was struck by a train and so badly injured that he died. It is believed that Fisher sat on the railroad track, waiting for the train to strike him, although there is no reason known why the old man desired to die. The engineer of the South Haven freight traln^that hit Fisher did not see the man on the track until he was within 150 feet of him. Warnings did not cause the old man to move from the place he was sitting and the engine passed over him before it could be brought to a stop. The accident happened eight miles weBt of this city.

In a message from his frlendT Javk Billings. . Lightnut Is asked to put up "the kid" for the night on his way home from college. Later Llghtnut finds a beautlfu girl In black pajamas in his room. Llghtnut is shocked by the girl'a drinking, smoking and slangy talk. She tells him her name is Francis and puxzles him with a story of her love for her sister's room-mate, named Frances. Next morning the girl Is missing and Lightnut hurries to the boat to see her off. He is accosted by a husky college boy, who calls him "Dicky,J' but he does not see the girl.

"Ughtnutl" he called, i just stared up at the castle on the hill. 1 felt devilish annoyed, though. I recalled a conversation, the other day at the club in which Van Dyne remarked that the Intimacy affected now by chauffeurs w a s growing insufferable. Declared Ms man bad asked him for a light that morning- : The fellow stared a little; ta-en he c a m e toward me, smirking in a' Jocular, impertinent way. "Say, Btap your kidding, old man," he muttered; "girls have no Bense of humor, you know. Come along—I've Juat been telling them you are my best friend." I stole another look at the car, but Prances avoided me; BO 1 came to a decision. I turned shortly on the driver. "gee here now, my good fellow," l •aid sharply, "you stop subjecting those ladles to annoyance. Drive on, or I'll report you to my" "liTenjffiE**- He stared—Beemed to be trying to stare me out of countenance, In fact. "Why, Dicky!" he exclaimed in an aggrieved tone, "don't you remember me—don't you know me?" "I certainly do not,". I answered with decision. I felt m y face getting red with vexation. "And what's more,, m y name is not 'Dicky.'" His hand slowly swept his chin and 'he whistled. • "Wha— Well> I'll be Jiggered!" He whirled toward the car. ( i . "On me, this time, I guessY ""You're right!" Then his f aee elouded and he moved down upon me. ,; "Here, you get along now about your business, whoever you.ajr*V His hand waved as though sweeping me away.

I exclaimed in consternation, as I fixed my glass on the garments. "It's your Jail, then, you know—" And suddenly I made a discovery; and I forgot about keeping still. "By Jove, BilllngB!" I exclaimed excitedly. "Here's something Inside the collar—some sort of jolly writing!" "What's that?" said Billings sharply. He jerked the garment Irom my hand and held it in the light. All round the circle within the collar band ran four or live darker red lines or queer little crisscross characters. "Chinese laundry marks, you idiot," he commented carelessly. And then he ducked bis head closer with a quick Intake of breath. "By George, Dicky!" he cried, his voice tremulous with some excitement. "Can't be' that either; it's woven in—awfully fine, neat Job, too. Now, what do you suppose—" He broke off wonderlngly. I Swung to catch my darling's eye at last Just as, they curved. And, by Jove, Bhe looked amused—and pleased. As for the frump, she frankly and harshly laughed, and then moved up a speed, just as a south-bound express took the station. And I swung aboard it, back for little old New York. Didn't see what the chauffeur did. Wasn't Interested, you know, about that. CHAPTER XV. Billings' Symptoms Alarm Me. "Most infernal outrage of the century, I tell you!" Billings stormed. For an hour I had sat there in my rooms, limp and bewildered under the tempest of his wrath, The wild and incoherent sputter over the 'phone that Jenkins reported upon my return had sent me on a hunt for my friend. I bad found him sullenly dining alone over at the club, and as soon as 1 entered he started to bolt from the room. Only through the greatest pleading had I managed to coax him back to ray chambers, hoping I might screw out of him some explanation. I had received it, by Jove! Of course, I recognized it all as impossible and crazy, you know, but when I said so to Billings his remarks were so violent, and he turned such a dangerous apoplectic purple, dashed if I didn't renege. "But then the old man, you know!" I protested weakly. Billings leveled his big arm at me, mouthing wordlessly for a minute. "That—that'll do, about that old man!" he choked at last "Not—not another word about him!" And finally he collapsed into his seat from sheer exhaustion. Just sat there panting and glaring at me like a jolly bulldog. Gradually he became calmer. "Tell you what: the only thing that lets you out, Dicky, is the way Van Dyne and Blakesley did, in turn, when I got them there." He spoke savagely, but I brightened a little. "Oh!" I said. "Didn't they recognize you, either?" Billings' snort made me Jump. "Recognise!" be bellowed. "They went back, mad as hell!" "By Jove!" I said soothingly. "That'e not all," continued BlUlngs grimly. "I was so sure It was a putup Job, some asinine, fool joke, I wrote a cautious note to the governor. After a lot of pleading, I got the fools to send it. He came." Billings paused dramatically. "Oh, yea, he came!" he went on, fixing me with an excited eye. *>and when I staggered forward and-dtd the prodigal son aet on hie neck, he handed me a punch that Jolted oil hie silk tile. Went straight up In the air with the whole bunch down there and contracted to do things for them that will keep them active for a year. Threatened to have me seat up for forgery —this Is my own father now, mind you—forgery of my own name! Hah!" BlUlngs strode to the and of the room and back. Then he ant down again, beating with his foot upon the floor. "They were pretty nasty after that," Billings went on gloomily; "and they wouldn't aend for any ooe else. Just \ had to alt there In-that .Infernal baatile with nothing on but pajamas and a pair of MgjsjtM slippers. Every one* to a wkg^jsajgebody would oome) Aboard. and address me as 'Foxy,' and want me to send for my clothes or else Bend out and buy some. Finally, a big brute came and threw me some dirty rags and said I'd have to put on those or else buy some others. "And I had just got into the togs and stuffed the rubles and pajamas out of sight in my pocket, when the particular brigand who had charge, of my coop came back. He almost threw a fit when he saw me. 'Where's Twenty- seven?' he wanted to know. And then, before I could say a word, he blustered up to me with: 'And say, what business you got in here? Clear out!' And you bet I didn't lose a single golden minute—I cleared. You should have seen me beat it down that corridor! The fellow followed me a little, grumbling to himself: Then he called to a cop who was Just coming in: Say, O'Keefe, run that young fat freak out of here, will you? It's one of that bunch of visitors that went through just now. Fresh thing— snooping into tne ceils!' "And so the same cop that brought me there—the very same—was the one that shoved me out of the door, warning me that I'd best not go poking Into the prisoners' cells again if I knew what was good for me!" "By the way, old chap," puffed Billings, his poise and good humor improving under the spell of a cigar, "I -was sorry to return the pajamas torn and dusty and wrinkled as they were. But you see, on account of the rubles* I was leary about having them pressed or fussed over. So I wrapped and sealed them myself, Just as one does a Jewel package. (Jot them, did you?" I stared at Billings through my glass.. "Didn't you get them?" be questioned in alarm. "Yes, yes—it's ail right, old chap," I said hastily and as pleasantly as 1 could. "Eugene delivered the box to Jenkins and I opened it myself. Thought It was—h'm—thought it waa something else." Then I proceeded soothingly: "But you're just a lrttle mistaken about the dust and wrinkles, old chap—and about them being torn. Ha, ha! Good Joke!" But Billings' fnce was unresponsive. "Why, old goop," he said with cheertul contempt, "there's a triangular tear in the back of the coat you could stick your head through; and one or the sleeves Is in ribbons." I just opened the drawer of the table and took out the box—glove box, 1 think It waa—containing the pajamas. I had read something somewhere about tbe clearing effect—the reaction, and that sort of thing, produced sometimes by a shock. "See for yourself, old chap," I said gently. And I lifted out the gossamer fabrics and again spread their ertm* son glory under the famp. Billings examined them eagerly, but just looked eonfounded. "Dont understand it," he said, biting bis nails. "Why, hang it, they look smooth, too, aa though never worn. And the rubles are ail right, too." He rested his chin upon hts hands and gloomed at the red eweep. I caught a few sentences of his mumbling. "By Oeorge, Vp. half a mind to think thent's something in tbe pajamas," he muttered—"something uncanny and disagreeable- something they're alive with!" I sprang up aad back, overturning my chair. CHAPTER XVI. •v#r* An Inscription and a Mystery. Billings rubbed his chin perplexedly. "By Jigger, now, I wonder what those hen tracks mean?" he uttered musingly. Then he looked up at me with sudden animation in his face. "Look here, Dicky," he exclaimed, "do you happen to know Doozenberry?" I tried to remember. I shut one eye and studied the marks closely through my glass, but had to shake my head at last. "Why, man, he's a member of all the great societies of the world. Got a etr4ng of-retters after-irtaname Hke a universal keyboard, and is tbe main squeeze, the great scream, among all the scientific push over here and in Europe. Lots of dough, but off his trolley with learning." "And In this building?" 1 said wonderlngly. "What's he like?" "Awfully large head," said Billings, elevating his hands some two feet apart, "pear-shaped affair—big end up- bump* on it like halves of grape fruit, porcupine eyebrows, and—" "Oh, I know," 1 said, nodding eagerly; "and a little, shriveled—well, kind of mashed sort of face, eyes beadlike and jolly small. I've got him now! I've gone down with him in the elevator." Billings nodded. "You've got him painted," he said drily. "That's tbe professor; only, his eyes are anything but Jolly.' I've ridden In the elevator with him myself. Always manages to look like he was traveling with a bad smell!" "Devilish sensitive, I dare say." Billings looked at me auspiciously, but | had got hold of the thing I was trying to recollect and I went on quickly: "By Jove, you know, I believe Jenkins knows his man—fellow who butlers, and, I believe, cooks, for htm. He and Jenkins belong to the same— how do they call it?—same club of gentlemen's gentlemen." Billings brought his fist down. "Let's have Jenkins in," he suggested. And we did. "I say, Jenkins," I began, "this Professor Doodlebug above us—" "Doozenberry!" BlUlngs sharply corrected. "Well, some Jolly rum thing about him, don't you know, Jenkins—something you said his man told you—remember, eh?" "Why, sir, he told me that every night he had to turn down the perfesser's bed and go all over It with a two-gallon watering can—" "Watering can!" gasped Billings. . "I'm telling you what be says, sir. Then he covers It all up again, and m about a half-hour the perfeaser turns the covers down; and If it's what he calls 'fine—that is, damp all over—he climbs In and sleeps like a top." "Cold-water bug, you know," I explained, but Billings shrugged hie shoulders. 'That's all right. Bug or not, be'a the goods, all the same. Greatest ever." He spoke with quiet conviction. He deliberated a moment and turned to me. "Tell you what, Dicky: I'm going up and aak him down. He's the one to give us the right dope on these crasy letters—Eh, what you say, Jenkins?" "Beg pardon, sir; I was saying that the perfeaser don't visit nobody; and be never sees nobody but the big lit'ry and scientific sharps." "Oh, he don't, eh?" BlUlngs snorted contemptuously. "Well, Jenkins, I havent been n prize fisherman in my time for nothing; > guess I know how to select my *fly.' I know what will fetch him: 'Mr. Ligntnut't compliment*, and will be be pleaded to honor him by paaslng upon an Oriental curio of rare scientific lnteteat?*—- that eort of merry rot! Why, you couldn't bold him back with a block and tackle. Oh, you needn't worry; rll do the proper curves all right" He turned toward the door.

CAV1CRLY, Pub. {PiNCKNEY. ,T - - MICHIGAN EpUCATE AGAINST SELFISHNESS. Recently addressing a body of New BagUnd students, Richard Olney, secretary. «f state under President Cleveland, urged them to tbe duty of BUDordinattftg Interests of their respective future crafts to the highest claims of citiaenship. Which is only another way of saying, that in educating our young people we should teach them first the art of living, and second, whatever art by which they are to live; that is, that living comes before getting a livelihood. Tbe claims of citizenship a*e above those of any trade or profession. Our schools that go in for the vocational training, eminently good in Itself, need to look out lest they lay the chief stress upon the matter of getting hold of technical knowledge as the means of making a living. The schools, none of them, are teaching too much about how to become good and worthy citizens, how to make dynamic men and women out of ordinary boys and girls. There Is the place for the stress. That, we think, is what Mr. Olney bad In mind when he urged those students to sink selfish plans for immediate aggrandizement in the larger purpose of doing good and being good for their country, says the Omaha Bee. For as sure as they do they' will have no difficulty In picking up a livelihood somewhere. So if our curriculums could be made to teach and throw their weight against selfishness In education our educational system w o w d be improved right here. ' * : • liraM PENALTY OF DEATH SLAYER OF AVIS U N N E L L STANTLY KILLED W H E N CURRENT IS APPLIED TNFrom Copenhagen comes Information which will be received with inter est by all who are alert to electric progress. Professor Hannover, president of 4he Polytechnic academy of that capital, is asserted to have invent* ed an electrical accumulator that has five t i n e s the capacity of the accumulators now In existence without any Increase over them in size and weight. I l e u s e s : porous TeXffnalloy"8heetB, t h e t * ^ . * 4 ^ ^ i&:<Ue^\ capacity of which is increased by perforating them with mill ion B of microscopic holes. Professor Hannover's accumulator, while it is likely to be more expensive than those now in use, will be most valuable for aeroplanes and submarine boats and in lighting railroad trains. EXECUTED AT 12:17 TUESDAY MORNING IN BOSTON Went to the Chair Smiling. "I Forgive Everybody" Were His Final Words as Current was Applied Clarence V. T. Rlcheson confessed murderer of Avis Linnell and a former Baptist preacher, was put to death by electricity in Charlestown state prison early Tuesday morning. At 12:10:02 o'clock the electrician threw a lever that sent a powerful current of electricity through the condemned man's body as he sat strapped \in the death chair. The first shock caused instant death, and after an examination by the physician in attendance, Richeson was pronounced legally dead at 12:17 a. m. Meets Death Calmly Rlcheson went to his death with composure, as he said he would do. He stepped from his cell into the corridor and through a door into the death chamber. When he had taken 13 paces he was in front of the electric chair. He took his seat in it and the straps and electrodeB were quickly put in place. The four guards who had accompanied him from biB cell, and, Chaplin Stebbins who preceded him into the room, stepped back. Warden Bridges raised his cane as a signal, and l a the next second Richeson's spirit had left his body. Richeson walked to the chair erect, eyes straight ahead, until he sat down. Then he closed hiB eyes and kept them shut until the end. Seated in the chair, he was asked a series of questions by Pastor Herbert S. Johnson, of Warren Avenue Baptist church, his spiritual adviser. During his answers he said: "God will take of my soul and I pray for all. I forgive everybody." The last qu&ation was: "Are you willing to die for JeBus's sake?" The reply, in an even well-formulated tone, was simply, 4 The current applied was of 1900 volts, eight amperes. . D«F SCHOOL AT FLINT BURNS The 250 Inmate* Wene Roused^From Sleep and Alt Were Saved. Five believed to have been started from* a bolt 61 lightning, destroyed all Qf the buildings of the Michigan School for tbe Deaf in 'Flint,' except the residence of Dr. F. 8. X'larke, superintendent.- Brown hall 'and a flew minor workshops. The flames were discovered at 1:45 a. m. in the cupola of the administration building. The loss is placed at ¢400,000, with no insurance. Three firemen were seriously hurt. Oren Parkhurst will lose an eye as a result of being struck by a tirebrand. Welch was seriously injured when a ladder broke, throwing him to the ground. Price, the chief of the department, had a miraculous escape from death. While directing .the lighting on the third floor, a stiel ceiling caved in upon him. Wate^ was turned upon the flames above him and the men succeeded in pulling him from the debris. Although half unconscious when rescued and severely burned about the body, he refused to leave the work. The -290 inmates of the school who were in the dormities at the time the fire started, are huddled in Brown hall, where recitations are usually held. They range in age from 5 to 18 years. There were also S4 attendants and nurses in the buildings. They directed the rescue of the children. The children were awakened by knocking on their beds and telling them in sign language of the fire. They weer marshalled together and marched from the building in a few minutes. None seemed unduly excited. The younger ones were immediately put into improvised beds in Brown- hall and Dr. Clarke s residence. Most of the children saved little but their night clothing. A few were able to snatch a few things as they were leaving. * FLASHES FROM WIRE. In more hardy days than these snuff w o used as an eye liniment. "Tbe Complete Housewife, or Accomplished Gentlewoman's Companion," which had run into 16 editions by 1758, extols its virtues, says the London Chronicle. Accomplished gentlewomen who find their sight failing with advancing years are advised to rub "the right sort of Portugal Bnuff Into the eyes night and morning, and take it also through the nose." This treatment, it Is asserted, "cured Sir Edward Seymour, Sir John Houblen, and Judge Ay res, so that they could read without spectacles after they had used them many years." Some people would prefer spectacles. A Chicago boy carried away a model aeroplane prize with a machine which bad curved wings like a letter U. They g a v e his mod>l a stability which carried It beyond all rivals, and a professional aviator who witnessed the exhibition declared that the lad had discovered a^J)rln$ipft which would undoubtedly be adopted by the builders of aeroplanes. After the boys have been «sperttaentlng a few more years It Is possible that we shall have a really safe flying machine. Kalamazoo Corset Makers' Strike. There is an imminent possibility that the state troops will be called out for action in the Kalamazoo cor- Bet makers' strike before the week is out, as local authorities fear they will be unable to cope with the situation as a result of a mass meeting of unionists at which it WUB decided to place 100 men on picket duty at the plant of the Kalamazoo Corset Co., where the strike is in effect. The unionists resolved to place the men on picket duty at the corset factory regardless of the fact that tbe court has issued an Injunction re- j straining both strikers and sympathizers from so doing, The unionists declare they will gladly go to jail lor the cause. The sheriff has prepared for trouble by swearing in extra deputies,' A committee of unionists has been selected to meet anil consider the calling of a general strike. Labor officials say they exercised every possible means to prevent the,, members of the union from taking a hand in the strike situation, b u t / i n spite of this the members insisted they were ready and willing to take up picket work, in violation of the injunction, and abide by the/result. There are more than/'2,200 trade unionists in Kalamazoo and they are exceedingly bitter over the imprisonment of the 12 coiset strikers. Dr. James M. Munyon has purchased a 40-acre hill side farm at Tarrytown, N. Y., formerly the summer home of Mark Twain. It is valued at 1200,000.

The quarterly report of Oil Inspector Neal shows that his department has turned $8,209 into the state treasury above expenses. Because the investigating committee found that conditions in several Saginaw factories are-not what it is believed tbey should be, the Civic league, composed of 200 of the best known women of Saginaw, have decided to establish a rescue home on a farm a short distance frdm the city.

It makes no provision for battleships, the house democratic caucus having decided that they were unnecessary. Miss Grace Dodge of New York, president of the National Board of the Young Women's Christian association, officiated at the dedication of the association's new $250,000 building in St. Ivouis, Mo. Secretary Wilson has announced plans to be instituted for farm management study and work in the north, for which both houses of rongress have made provision in the agricultured appropriation bill.

Unskillful handling of eggs and poultry costs the people of the United States $45,000,000 annually, is the conclusion of the state board of health after six months' investigation in which expert produce men from the department of agriculture took part. The American Unitarian association placed itself on record in Boston as favoring the abolution of capital punishment and in support of wo> man's suffrage at its eighty-seventh annual mretlng. Rev.

Bennett, Jr.. of Saugus, Mass. According to returns in hand from approximately 4,500 of the 5,192 precincts in the state, Col. Theodore Roosevelt's delegates to the national republican convention carried Ohio primaries by a plurality of about 25,000. It now seems scarcely possible 000. It now seems scarcely possible that final results from the primary poll will change the number of distric delegates for either side, by more than one or two. The best figures available show that Roosevelt has 32 of the 42 district delegates selected and President Taft has 10. Although later returns on the democratic presidental preference primary vote, gives Woodrow Wilson a fighting chance for one or two more delegates, the New Jersey man's exact standing will not be known for several days, when certain belated rural returns have been secured from dilatory judges, who refused to complete the counts in their precincts before taking a night's sleep. However, Governor Harmon practically is assured a complete delegaton of 48 delegates to the Baltimore convention. His lead now gives him control of the state democratic convention which will select delegates at large. Also it is said that the convention will provide for the unit rule, which will force the Wilson delegates selected by districts, to v o t e for the Ohio executive. Fight for Delegates-at-Large The delegate at large' situation in the republican party will not be known or settled until June 3, when the state republican convention is convened here. The Taft, leaders claim that they will control the state convention, _arid_d^8^g^te_J;he_ delegates at large for the president. "Bui the Rooseveltmanagers declared that late returns show tbernumber-of Taft delegates to the state convention to be dwindling, Instead of increasing, as was* announced. There is no question, but that the Taft-Roowvelt fight will be carried on to the floor of the s^ate convention, 'when the final struggle in Ohio will be made for the half dozen delegates at large. In only £3 of the 88 counties of the state_s/ere delegates to the state convention chosen. In the remaining counties, the delegates will be named by county conventions. Even'in the matter of district delegates, an official count will be necessary to determine exact results. An instance of this sort arose in the thirteenth congressional district (Sandusky) where late returns ndicate that the district will be divided almost evenly between Taft and Roosevelt delegates, and Harmon and Wilson.

WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY Decrease in Death Rate From Tuberculosis Means Saving of 27,000 Lives in Ten Yeara. In the decade from 1901 to 1910, the death rate from, tuberculosis in the United States declined from 196.9 for each 100,000 persons living to 160.3; a decrease of 18.7 per cent, while the general death rate, including all causes of death, declined only onehalf as Jas_t;_jor at^ the rate of 9.7 percent, from 1655^0 to 1495.8, according _to_flgurea given out Jby__the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The figures are based on data abstracted from the reports of the United States Bureau of the Census, and cover tbe registration area in this country. . According to the statement, the tuberculosis death, rate has declined steadily since 1904, when it was 201.6. On the other hand, the general death rate shows a fluctuation downward In general trend. but not as steady as the tuberculosis rate. The decline in the tuberculosis death rate In the last ten years means a saving of 27,000 lives at the present time. Best Business Creator.

The myriad mounds of rank and file stir tender and deep emotions. The veterans of the drilling scenes of '61 and '65 are passing. Over forty-eight thousand in 1909 answered the last' taps. Memorial Day should be sacredly kept and should most properly recall the stirring events of the Civil war. "What mean ye by these stones?" the descendants of Joshua asked, as they saw the memorial pile by the River Jordan. So the youth of today inquire of the silent sentinels raised to commemorate the soldier of '61. I am reminded of an example of pa* triotiem not usually known. Colonel Shaw, whose monument of bronze stands upon Boston Common, is not alone In deserving such a memorial. Up among the Berkshire Hills there Is a modest shaft that marks the grave of another gallant leader of negro troops. I refer to Colonel Chaunoey Bassett, of the Bassett Grand Army poet of Michigan, the grandfather of my children and the father of that elect lady, my wife. How Colonel Bassett inspired his men Is Illustrated by the heroism of a negro lad who was the color-bearer. As Colonel Ba* sett handed the flag; to the lad. he gave this charge: "My boy, T>rlhg back the colors or tell to God the reason why." Alt through the fierce light they watch* ed that standard. Once it was seen to fall—the lad's arm had been shot. But grasping the staff with his left hand, the flag moved forward again, waving over the dusky troops. Once more it swayed and dropped. But after1 the battle they found the little fellow , prostrate upon the flag: wet with his T J T o "J L™.™J? J:™:^ . ! ! blood. He could never bring the col* •ors back. He had told to God the reason why. But I recall a memorial which comes close to every veteran In the land. It Is the name i endeared to you by a thousand recollections and sends the warm blood throbbing through your veins. It Is the dear name of Comrade, Comrade! Tour companions In arms! They nave fallen, but your thoughts bring the old familiar forms and scenes back again. You sleep in the same tent and perchance share the same blanket or yon watch by the camp- Jfcre warming and sheltering yopr comrade from the cold aM the storm as be ha* ione for you.

He laughs, he sings, he shouts; he turns with stern resolve and face like flint to meet the bullet-storm. His joys, his sorrows, his glory, his hardship, are yours, for all the while it is comrade. It may be one today, another tomorrow, but always Comrade! I cannot forbear to mention one more Important lesson from the monuments of the war. It is this: The God of Nations Gave the Victory. The Almighty's hand has never been withdrawn from history. In the darkest hour a Lincoln's brain and heart— a true statesman's hand—grasped the helm and held the nation to her course through whirlwind, victory and dire disaster. In critical hours when foreign powers would smile encouragement to our foe God sent a strong man across the waters to apeak for us—a man of silver tongue, the orator's fire and the patriot's soul, who averted the threatened blow. Some well remember what utter consternation swept over the north when the "Merrimac" sunk the "Cumberland" and the "Congress" surrendered. When that same evening the news sped over the wires that the "Monitor" had arrived at Hampton Roads, the air rang with shouts and men who seldom acknowledged divine interference were saying, "How providential!" Merchants of war-time will not forget the terrible depression in business. For ten years previous two thirds of the country's exports consisted of cotton from the south. How could the great loss be met? In '61 and '62 there was drought in England and Europe. Then the farmer stepped to the front. The fields of America, particularly In the west, were, in these years, unusually abundant, and foreign ports were opened to receive "a value of over two hundred million dollars of the products of our soil. England sent us more than sixty million dollars of gold." At the last when the nation was weary the indomitable Grant came into leadership and by his sledge hammer blows, "By the left flank, forward!" gave the Confederacy the fatal stroke. Thus did the King of Nations shield this land. Think not, fellow-citizens, that your duty is done; that in rearing colossal statues your obligations are fulfilled. The peculiar institutions of this country are the memorials God commands If the dress is to see hard service, have it in a dark color and match it with a hat suitably tailored yet capable of being changed with a bit of dressy trimming on occasions. The London hats, or the trim shapes which imitate these imported styles, are very useful for both long and short trips, and as some of these have only, one bit of decking put on at the side, it is an easy enough matter to carry along a pretty "pole" of flowers—one of the high, tightly massed lifts—to put in place of the feather or cockade worn at more strenuous times. The next useful garment for the suit case traveler is the shirt waist, and with three in suitable fabrics she can successfully go through a week end at a fine country house or stop several days at a good hotel. The fabric of soft and washable sort is to be preferred for all three garments to a stiff material, wash silks, unstiffened batiste and pongee supplying about the best materials. For the traveling models offered for hot weather wear, and a very young woman might wear it while traveling with perfect propriety, as a good throat and arms are its chief requirements. There are some lovely wash silks striped with the new dress colors, and while rather of the negligee species such little bodices, made up in this manner, would be very effective with a wool suit on a hot day. J£ the silk la of a very stylish sort, too, it would be a good Idea to hem a bias of it for a hat scarf, and-*] a proper hat for this would be one of the duck tourist or outing shapes which are Belling from 50 cents up. A "dicky," or front, made to eke out the possibilities of a plain waist, is likewise a useful trifle for the'traveler to take along, and if she look* about the Bhops she will find many pretty styles in these. As to underwear, unstiffened dimity, from which every garment needed is made, could be used for the more intimate lingerie, while for the long petticoat there is a wide range of light and reasonably priced materials. In several of the shops the smartest underwear imaginable Is made of tan pongee, and this is much sought for traveling use. When selecting footgear remember that tan leather is cooler than any other and that white wash leather gloves a/e about the smartest worn. A little pair of 60-cent Turkish slippers will also adfl to the traveler's comfort and contribute nothing to the weight of the Bult case. MARY DEAN. The Agreeable 8wlsh of 311k. There is no denying the luxuriously Impressive effect of a soft frouTfrou of silk in a woman's garments. She may be quite simply dressed, an unobtrusive little figure sitting meekly in a corner of the room—let her rise and walk across the floor with a deiieious-^ uggestlon of-rustling silk fQLlowing her movements.

When several years ago fashion's stern decree substituted the soft messallnes for the nolBy taffeta underskirts deep was the chagrin therein. But at an exhibition of this spring's styles at a fashionable dressmaker's, one of the models created a pleasurable sensation by tilling the room with the agreeable swish of taffeta silk. to It, you who fought gallantly for your country and you who today reap the harvest of heroism, see to it that your Influence goes abroad for pure morals, and guard aa yonr life the liberties handed down to you.

The dressy waist could be of the batiste or of a fine lawn with a dainty lace and hand run tucks, and there could be a negligee blouse in the wash silk for tired moments and very Informal occasions. The last, in fact, could do duty as a wrapper, that is, serve instead of one, for it cannot be expected that there will be room in the suit case for all the comforts of the toilet. The comfortable little bodice shown in the illustration is one of the newest RED KID BOOTS IN VOGUE Fiery Colored Footwear Will Be Worn With White Surts, According to Dictates of Fashion. A new fashion note, apropos of the popularity of white goods this spring and summer, was noted in the factory of a maker of woman's high-grade shoes, where we say a large number of red kid button boots being prepared for shipment. Upon inquiry we learned that these red kid boots were Intended for wear with white suits and gowns at fashionable country and seashore resorts as a change from white footwear, it being evident to milady of fashion that she must have footwear that will take her out of the ordinary humdrum of fashion. Her white suit or gown will have a touch Of red trimming to complete the combination of a white dress and red boots.—Shoe Retailer. Fullness In Lingerie. Lingerie usually keeps pace with fashion and the newest trousseau petticoats and combinations are full— not at the hips, but at the befrllled hem—more so than for three years. This points distinctly to much fuller skirts in muslin frocks, otherwise the ruffles of the petticoats would be bound to make the wearer clumsy and uncomfortable, As embroidered panels are quite the rage in the sheer dresses, any frocks made narrow ahead of the season can easily be pieced out with something of the kind before the time comes for actually wearing them. Chiffons. Many of the latest blouses which are worn under coats have lace ruffles at the wrist. Many of the newest coats still show the side fastening, some starting slightly below the waist line, and others up at the shoulder. Cape collars extending over the shoulders are a feature not only of many heavy coats, but also of house and street gowns.

Vegetable foods include the cereals, legumes and tubers, roots and bulbs, green vegetation and vegetable fruits and flowers. Of the whole list the cereals are the most valuable, including as they do the grains from which the bread of nearly all the world is made, but rice and corn are the cereals not commonly referred to in lists of vegetables. Legumes all belong to the pulse family and the edible portion is In the shape of a pod, usually and though there are many thousand species only a few kinds are used on the table, beans, peas and lentils being the ones most In use. All legumes are rich in nitrogenous matter, and if properly cooked and consumed In reasonable quantities may to some extent replace a portion of meat in the daily dietary. There is scarcely any fat in the leguminous foods, so oil or some fat 1B wisely added. When green beans, peas and tender legumes have been removed from their pods they should be cooked gently in simmering water, but when the pods and all are used they should be boiled rapidly. When the green peas and beans, etc., have grown a little old, but must be cooked, a tiny pinch of soda will make them tender if added to the water they are boiled in and it helps to retain their bright green color. All green vegetables should be cooked in uncovered pens. Vegetables are blanched when cooking to remove the strong acrid taste; this process Is sometimes called "parboiling." With very old, strong flavored tuberous vegetables the water 1B often changed several times in the cooking process. To boil cabbage or cauliflower, select small heads of these vegetables, rather than large ones, as they will be—more—delicately- flavored,.-.. -The 1 cabbage should be cut in quarters and -soaked- for an^hoiir in salt water. Have a deep stew pan full of boiling water and add a tablespoon of salt. Put in the cabbage and cook briskly without covering for 30 to 40 minutes, according to the age of the cabbage. When cooking open the kitchen windows at the top and there wilt be no noticeable odor. Drain and chop the cabbage and to every pint of the cooked vegetable allow a teaspoon of butter and add more salt if it requires it and pepper to suit taste. Cooked thus, cabbage will be tender and full of flavor and will no longer be considered a coarse vegetable. When pork Is to be cooked with cabbage put the meat to cook first and when it is commencing to grow tender add the cabbage. All the above applies to cauliflower, except the latter is never quartered when put to cook and its flavor is so delicate that the water need not be change during the cooking. The time of cooking this lovely vegetable should never exceed 30 minutes. It may be served with a very rich white sauce or with only drawn butter— By Henrietta D. Grauel, Domestic Science Lecturer.

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS "My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breaklng-out on hia cheeks, from which a watery sub-» stance oozed. A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician who at once pronounced the disease eczema. The little fellow was under treatment for about three months. By the end of that time, he seemed no better. I became discouraged. I dropped the doctor's treatment, and commenced tho use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. and in a few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks, was almost heale'd, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly bef ter. When he was about seven months old, all trace of the eczema was gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out in boils which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been a great sufferer. - During the time of teething and fronrHhe time I dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old he was the picture of health. His complexion was soft and beautiful, and his head a mass of silky curls.- I had been afraid that he would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies."

If you haven't looked over your screen doors and windows yet, and noticed their deficiencies, you ought too They will probably need new wire, or maybe you'll need new doors and windows. Better look this matter up at once. If you have looked over latt years screens, noticed a few holes here and tiiere, then shaken your head and said "Ob, they'll do," y o u ^ making a big mistake. Better have no screens at all, than have screens with holes in. For the flies will come in just as bad through torn screens as if the door stood wide open- When you can boy new, fresh screens as 3beap as we're selling them, why will you put up with the torment and danger of flies pouring through old screens.

The bereaved queen was prostrated with grief and was under the care of two .physicians. The entire royal suite was In mourning and showed evidences of deepest grief. . The three royal children who accompanied the queen were Prince Gusitav and Princesses Tagmar and Thyra. ;iThey were inconsolable over- the death of their father and insisted that toe private coach in which the coffin :was carried should be strewn with white roses. Warship Acts as Escort. Prom Lubec the body was c led Ho Travemunde, which is nine miles north of that city on Neustadt bay. ,There it was taken on board the Dan- _ ish ship Dannebrog^ which, convoyed by a Danish warship, will carry the remains of the late monarch to Copenhagen. The coffin containing the royal body was carried from the Hamburger Hof hotel to the railway station early In ithe day as the train was scheduled to leave at 9 o'clock. The hotel was draped in black and at a very early jhour a crowd of curious had gathered to see the cortege leave for the railway station. The members of the royal Ifamtiy and the suite were conveyed in iclosed carriages. Dowager Queen Lou- <1*e was dressed entirely in black and Veld a handkerchief to her face.

A ^company of the Seventh Imperial German infantry bad been provided for 'an escort and the soldiers were accom- ;pant6d by the regimental band. The ftroops carried cased colors of the ^regiment in honor of the dead. The streets were lined with solid masses on duty on examination found chat death had been instantaneous. There was nothing on the body which afforded a clue to its identification and it was placed la the mortuary of the hospital. Find Body in Hospital. It was much later in the evening that the royal suite, which had become anxious owing to the king's absence, heard of the incident that had occurred on the "Goose Market" Aa their inquiries In regard to the king's movements had up to then proved fruitless, they, together with the proprietor of the hotel, proceeded to the hospital to look at the body there, although they did not suspect that It was that of his majesty. On arrival at the hospital they were confronted by the tragic fact that the dead man was the' king. Arrangements were immediately made for the body to be conveyed to the hotel, where it was laid out amid masses ot flowers. Life of Frederick VIII. Frederick VIII. was one of the gentlest and most democratic kings of Europe.

PhyfllaJinr Frederick V i i l . the late^ing Christian IX., sustained his relations with the people in an admirable manner, at once modest and dignified. His long life was without incident, excitement or adventure. His earliest impressions were those of the happy domestic relations of his father and mother, who, from a poverty which had forced that father to spend part of his time as a> teacher of drawing to the children of wealthy people, had been lifted at one stroke to the ancient throne of Denmark. New King Happily Wedded. Christian Charles Frederick Albert Alexander William, the new king of Denmark, has lived a life that baa been notable for Its domestic happiness rather than for any spectacular Incidents. To the public outside of his own country he Is known particularly for his happy marriage with Princess Alexandrlna, the elder daughter of the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin. It was a pure love match, differing from the union between royal families, which are usually arranged for political expediency. They were wedded at Cannes on April 26. 1S98. and have two sons, Christian Frederick Francis Michael Charles Walderaar George, born March 11, 1899, now the crown prince, and Knut Christian Frederick Michael, born July 27, 1900. The new queen of Denmark Is Just three months younger than her husband, having been born on December 24, 1870. King Christian X. was born at Charlottenlund on September 26, 1870. The present king Is colonel of the One Hundred and Fourth regiment of Prussian Hussars and a knight of many orders, among them the Golden Fleece, the Black Stagfe, the Elephant, the Annunciad, St. Andrew and the Seraphim. | . How Names Are Chosen. The ^epetttIon.of the names Frederlck' antf Cn/t*tian tn the? matftbers of the royal family of Denmark is notable. This repetition is due to a family law which requires that each eon shall bear the name of either Frederick Christian or Christian Frederick. By the same law the monarcha are crowned-a*e*x4lelr as Frederick or Christian. Thus the successor of the present king, whichever of his sons it may be, will ke known as Frederick IX. The name' Knut or "Canute*' reappears frequently also in the royal line of Denmark, being borne. by the younger son of the present king. This is out of respect for the original Xing Canute the Great. Who, besides ineffectually commanding the waters of the ocean to roll back from bis throne, crossed over to England with a hoat gained effective control of that island and was named king there subsequent to the death of Edmund Ironside.

And as it was her move, I just sat kind of grinning> you know, and holding her tight with my monocle. Th'eri irer mouth twitched a bit; next her head went up and 1 heard again that delicious birdlike carol-of a laugh. Her eyes came to rest upon the hat in my hajid. I had,.slipped my Harvard band around it, remembering the admiration she had expressed for our colors. "Ob:.;; she, said again, and she hesitatingly-.r-'Mr; Jones, Is It oot—or is it—" I chuckled. "Mr. Smith, you know," I said. "Mr. Smith, of coijrse." And then I just went on chuckling, for I thought it so devilish clever of her, so humorous. And just then 1 thought of a dashed good repartee; "Months—*o many' months, you amow, since we met!" And I thought it delightful the way. she puckered her k>v*lyjtt^ forehead and, looked, me over.

"But I want you to tell me." Her beautiful eyes were teaBlng. "You k n o w - i t s black." 1 twirled the hat faster. "Black!" She stared, her exquisite lips standing apart like the two petals of a rose. "Why, I never wore black in my life. You know you never saw me in black."

But it was the last car, and I blocked the aisle. I didn't realize at the time that I was doing it. It came to me afterward, and was one of the things I kicked myself about for hours, more or less. Just at the ^moment I was so dashed wild about setting myself right with her. The only other thing I had presence of mind to remember was the nearness about us of a lot of beady-eyed cats, and so I drew nearer and lowered my voice so none could hear. For I had another feeling of inspiration as to what really was the matter with her! "Why, Frances—sweetheart," 1 pleaded softly—jiist loud enough for her to hear above the train, "I know you are put out with me because you found me gone the next morning, but honestly, dear, I acted for the b e s t - indeed, I did." And to be on the safe side, I profited by another inspiration: "And, my darling girl, l.'ll never mention the pajamas and the other night—never any more—as long as we live, nor the cigarettes nor cigars nor whisky. Why, I don't care if you—" "Tarrytown—all out for Tarrytown!" came in a high tenor voice from the end of the car, and something bowled down the aisle and brushed me aside. It was the frump. "Come on, Frances!" she exclaimed sharply; "our station." Next instant CAMPAIGN IS HAVING EFFECT Already th© Death Rats From Tuberculosis Is Showing a Gratifying Decrease. In certain cities, such as New York, Boeton, Cleveland and Chicago, and In states like Massachusetts, Rhode Jsland and Connecticut, the decline in the death rate from tuberculosis la more marked than in the country at large, which declined 18.7 per cent In the ten years from 1901 to 1910. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that there are many factors working together to cause the decline in the tuberculosis death rate, such factors as the change in the character of our urban population, increased sanitation, and better housing, but probably as potent a factor as any has been the nation wide anti-tuberculosis campaign. "It may be foretold with considerable certainty," the association says, "that when the effects of the present rapidly increasing provision for the care of tuberculosis patients shall have become evident, the decline in the death rate from consumption in the coming decade will he even more marked than that In the last one."

I ka#w Jove, I knew Pugsley was right, and that I had failed to put the ball over! I was not six feet behind as they scrambled through the station to the other side where a large car stood panting. I saw Frances clutch the frump's arm and whisper something, and I heard the frump's reply, for her voice was loud and strongly masculine. "Crazy?" she rasped. "Nonsense! Drunk, more likely. Most of them are half the time." I didn't have time to see what she referred to, for Just then we reached the side of the car, l didn't see a thing of Billings, but tie chauffeur Jumped to the ground and received the ladles and their bags. He seemed to me devilish familiar, too. By Jove, the way he held my darling's hand was the most infernally audacious, outrageous thing I ever beheld! I should have liked to punch his head. He helped them into the tonneau and was so busy with hiB silly Jackass chatter that he closed the door before he turned and saw me. I was just standing there, leaning a little forward with my cane, you know, and fixing my monocle reproachfully on Frances—trying to get her eye. And then, by Jove, I felt a blow on my shoulder that almost bowled me over, for I had my legs crossed, you know. "WTell, I'll be hang—It's Dicky!" And he was grinning at me like a what's-lts-name cat And with the grin I recognized him. It was the fresh young fool who had been so devilish familiar at the pier the morning Frances left. Then he banged me again, dash it, and tried to get my hand, but I put it behind me. But he did get my arm, and he turned toward the car. His voice dropped. "See here, I want you to meet—- Eh?" He broke off, staring at the frump, who was making signs with her eyes, frowning and beckoning him with her green flower-pot. He left me, murmuring something, and stepped to the running-hoard. I could see the flower-pot bobbing about energetically and twice Frances nodded, it seemed to me reluctantly. "Crazy—drunk? Pshaw, you're batty?" be said to the frump rudely. Then I heard another murmur and Ills harsh voice rose again. "Yes— Llghtnut. 1 tell you—Dicky .Llghtnut. Yea—Jack Billings' great friend.

Many [ W years ago we developed the Saginaw Al- ^ Steel Door Frame, adding convenience, solidity and great strength to the entire structure. The same enterprise, together with keen foresight, developed in 1911, the Saginaw Inner Anchoring Hoop ie of the great successes in modern silo construction. And now-1912-with all wondering what possibly could be added to the Sagiaaw Silo, our engineering department has created and proved through eshauetiva tests, a device wonderfully effective and remarkably simple in design and construction, and Mice all great inventions, "It's a wonder it wasn't thought of before." This invention will be known to the world as T h e Saginaw Base A n c h o r . , Uoeosed under Herder Patent No. 6*1782 Like all important Silo improvements you get the Base Anchor only in the Saginaw. We will be glad to tell you more about this wonderful improvement. We have a new book showing dozens of interesting views of our four large plants. This new Book, entitled "The Building of a Silo", also contains very recent and complete information on silage. We have a copy for you. Write for it—or better, come in and get your Book and we'll talk it over. L. H.

"For some time," said he, "I've been taking care of our house and cooking meal* for my wife and myself. The -work was uninteresting and it got on my nerves,, ,1 was mighty glad to get a drink anil forget my troubles." Tbe judge loosed wiae. "Discharged," said he laconically. A number of questions naturally arise. But the salient point is the cooking. Is there really any Treason? under the sun, except custom, why the n a n should expect his wife to "fee the cook? It Is not recorded that Ere dressed the beef, but we do *n#w that Adam roasted her Just after the exodus from the Garden of Eden Here 'was a man who plainly did not go out and work for an income. Why ehould he loaf about the house while Ills wife attempted to economise on gas? To be sure he got tired of it, but probably she was just as tired. tWe really fear that the judge has set a bad precedent. Suppose tbe women take It into their heads that they have * right to get intoxicated just because they get tired of frying codfish.

Nevertheless there are complaints that the wireless messages from the Titanic -were "taken" with difficulty, because of Interference, in Europe at well as In the United Btales there will be legislation to put down what the London Times calls "these freaks of private vanity or levity or ostentation." !r -—- "In Paris, the pdlice dogs have now been given official rank and attack on one of them is classed as reslstante to lawfully constituted authority. The situation has its element of humor, but as a matter of fact, their protection as regular members of the police, has been found necessary to save them from the lawless gangs whom they berp the police in restraining. Still, the spectacle of a man arrested on the charge of resisting a police dog in tbe discharge of his duty is novel and odd enough to have its ludicrous side.

Today t h e population i:i less than. Ave hundred thousand, anil the determination of the representative men of the Province to devote their best energies to increasing this to a mil-* lion is a worthy one. There is alread/ a widespread interest in every municipality; committees are appointed,. whose 4ut*e* are* to secure ifuch ' a thorough knowledge of local'"conditions that, whether the-applicant for information be,» laborer for the farm, a would-be tenant, a probable homesteader, the buyer of a small improved farm or the. purchaser of a Jartfa Jjact for colonizing farmers, the information is at hand, free. The advantages that. Manitoba possesses are many, aud .with the exploitation that will be given them by the birth of this new acquisition tothe settlement and immigration propaganda that is being carried on by the Dominion Government, there is nodoubt that the establishment of the bureau will very soon bring about the results looked for. Manitoba is practically the gateway of the great grain belt of the West. Its farm lands have demonstrated time and again that they have a yielding value that practically makes them worth over one hundred dollars per acre. Added to the yielding value of the land, there is an increased value on account of its nearness to markets, and the matter of freight rates is carefully considered by the cautious buyer. But the information more valuable to the incoming settler is that it still has an immense amount of vacant fertile land open for homesteads. This dispels the idea that free homesteads In Manitoba are abou^ exhausted. In addition to this, the territory recently added to the Province will open up a homesteading area which when filled should fully satisfy the "Million for Manitoba League." Within the old boundaries there is an area of 47,360,- 000 acres, less than six million acres, of the 16½ million acres occupied being under cultivation. At present there are over 20 million acres of available land capable of being put under the plough. If in every one of the 195,000 vacant quarter sections of the Province as average family of four persons Were" pla"ced, Therer'IvouTd'W^aiIo^eo!~i ~ rural population of nearly 800,000. So there is room for additional hundreds of thousands on the farms of Manitoba, without any possibility of congestion. The population per mile in Iowa is 39.4, In Minnesota it is 23.5. That in Manitoba Is only 7.1. A glance at the map, copies of which will be forwarded upon application to any Canadian Government Agent, shews that Manitoba is wonderfully well supplied with railways. There are but few farms that are more than ten or twelve miles from a railway line: elevators are convenient, and markets are always good. The growing of grain, while a big feature in the inducements held out, is well reenforced by the great possibilities that exist in all portions of the Province, for the raising of stock, for dairying, for hogs, and for a successful class of mixed farming, find what gives additional interest is the fact that there is so much land in the Province open for free homesteadlng that improved farms in almost all of the, 98 municipalities can be purchased at very low figures. Many of the owners of these have made sufficient upon which to retire and are becoming residents of the cities. In addition to the export market for the produce of the farm, Manitoba has a number of large.cities arid towns providing.a splendid local market. Truck and garden farming are highly profitable branches. Winnipeg is a city bordering on 200,000. Brandon IB a splendid centre, Portage la Prairie is the hub of an excellent district, and YoTkton, Minnedosa, Dauphin, Morden, Manitou and a dozen other towns are important help as consumers.

ENJOYED BY SOCIETY FOLK iQshatef of the Lower House at These Times IspeeJally Aro Likely To t o Vrtrlelle—One Closing Night of Sons. • y GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.^-In the desire to adjourn, eongress probably will begin holding night sessions soon;, in fact, tbey may bo the order at any minute. When night Besaionft are going on the capitol is a picturesque and lhrely place. From without the great building it looks like what in a sense it really is, an Illuminated palace of white, the thousands of lights showing through hundreds and it may be thousands of windows. Washington society takes advantage of night sessions of congress for an opportunity to viBit the capitol. Society in the main is not great on early day outings and it is only occasionally, when drawn by some big event, that the Bocial leaders go to Capitol Hill even in the late afternoon. The novelty of a night session attracts not only society, so-called, but the thousands of visitoru in Washington and other thousands of residents who, working «11 day, get little opportunity to see the law makers at their labor in the daylight hours. The galleries at their night sessions almost always are crowded. Debates Livelier at Night. Night sessions, especially when the day sessions have begun at 11 o'clock, seem to get on the nerves of the mem* bers of both houses and one Is much more apt to hear a 'vitriolic debate and to witness the losing of tempers at night than he is In the daytime. The night before the day of adjournment is always a gala time in the low* er house. As a rule then the house is through with its business for the session and is simply waiting on the senate to catch up. The senators work away fheTaStnTgWYajraTr^nairiheyhave worked at any other night of the session, while the house members frequently give themselves over to play. It is rather sad to relate, but occasionally the play in the house becomes something more serious than play. If the day has been long and hot and the debates have been sharp and bitter, and especially if politics has been touched upon,/ the members are led from play to something more serious and while names need not be mentioned, there have been one or two occasions when the last night of the session of the house has developed healthy rows. One Famous Closing Night. It Is probable that the most picturesque of night sessions of congress in many years was that which wound up the long session of the year 1904. The adjournment was well along into the early summer. Congress was tired and.wanted to get away; the house had ended its work completely except for the mere details of closing and the members gave themselves over to frolicking. On that night the^scene of which likely Is to be reproduced this year every representative in the chamber was given an American flag and with it there was handed to him a «ong book. The night was spent in flag waving, in singing and in telling Btories. West Point Frolics. MaJ. Gen. Thomas Barry, is the superintendent of the United States Military Academy. If the war department were to believe all the reports that come in, General Barry is having a hard time of it in enforcing discipline. Government of* flcials, however, have always taken wjjfc more/thsn a gnain of salt stories that comet out of West .Jfyint* Gen* ewJly-they have been,found to. grow in-tt#<,co«inf. ,,,, ,, Major General Barry was sent to the Military academy as superintendent after a notable career in Cuba and In the Philippines, and with a fine record for efficiency an4 maintenance of dlseipliao.: "Tee. last story which came from West Point was to the effect that the superintendent virtually put the whole corps of cadets under arrest While he was trying to And out which of the Ave hundred odd hoys it was who yelled T o r e for the eupe.^ Fore 1» a golf term, at ererybody knows, nerai Barry, It was said, bearer* words through en open mess hall, tees; thsm as of discipline and as of impertinence In find out who it was 'Ifctj offending words.

The class of 1880 wanted in some way to mark the Incoming of the year of their graduation. So its members resolved to have a celebration at the stroke of twelve at midnight of the New Year, January 1, 18*0. Now this affair at the academy, Instead of being a mere matter of taking a cannon on the roof and firing it off, was really a terrific outbreak of noise, confusion and regulation breaking. Some members of the corps had been given a Christmas leave of three days, and on their return from New York they brought to the academy a large quantity of fireworks, which they hid In a convenient place after they landed at the dock. Later these fireworks were transferred to barracks and hid la mattresses and from that time until the night of December 31, the eve of New Year, a great many cadets slept on veritable mines. Fired Off All the Guns. A detachment of cadets tolled off for the purpose went down to the river early on the night of December 31 and loaded all the seacoast guns, the siege battery gun, and old smooth-bore guns of Battery Knox. At ten minutes before midnight 20 cadets left barracks and made their way to the river batteries. At the stroke of 12 they began pulling the lanyard and it was "roar and boom and tear" from every gun along the plateau's front. The echoes were awakened far up the Hudson to New berg and down to Sing Sing. It sounded as if the post were under bombardment, and in a twinkling the whole post was up, officers running here and there in half waked condition, not, knowing Just what had happened. Across the parade ground came the veteran General Schofield in his uniform, but with something white showing which proved that he had not completely tucked in his clothes in his hurry to get dressed. Simultaneously with the bombardment every window in barracks) was opened and forth came fiery sky rockets, roman candles and all the other similar devices known to the ingenuity of man. In addition to this 75 members of the plebe class had devil's fiddles which had been manufactured under cover. Round shot were rofiean!bwn~TheTron-D~6uh^ the uproar and the firing and confusion were, in modern slang, "something fierce." The whole corps was put under arrest n d later every man had all his privileges taken away from him, and they were kept away for five months. English Sparrow as Food. One of the expert biologists of the department of agriculture, Mr. Ned Dearborn, says that the English sparrow is a pest, a thing which hardly needed repetition, and that one way to get rid of them is to eat them. Mr. Dearborn has issued a bulletin telling how to trap English sparrows, how to shoot them and how to cook and eat them. He lays that sparrows as food compare favorably with the best kinds of smaller game. Years ago some one tried to induce the people of the congested districts in the cities to eat English sparrows. One can learn from the agricultural department If the members should choose to write about it or tell about It that there are scores of animalB in the United States which no one thinka of eating and yet which are perfectly delicious food when properly cooked. Can anyone Imagine a man eating a, skunk? And yet a skunk properly prepared Is by no means to be despised. It Is said that the edibility of the skunk was learned by an experimenter who noticed that great horned owls were very fond of skunks and that they would catch them, kill them and eat them In preference to rabbit. So one experimenter tried the skunk and found that the meat was better than that of the rabbit. A great many people know .that the muskrat is good eating. The govern* raent's scientists found this out a long time ago and they hare written bulletins about the muskrat as food. It has been found that the name rat destroys people's appetites for this creature. In the markets of Baltimore and occasionally in Washington muskrats aro sold in largo quantities, but are they called muskrats? No, they are called marsh rabbits. Snakes Good to Eat. Some men squirm at the thought of eating eels, while others eat them and consider them the best of fish. If an eel, why not a snake? Down id the south west ' rattlesnakes have bean eaten frequently with no bad results. Ths flesh of the rattler is said to be white and of good flavor. An army officer who was also a great ornithologist, Captain Bendire, once waa given aome rattlesnake, to eat He did not know what ft was but pronounced it mighty good. Later he was told what he had eaten and although in his tramping afield he had been compelled many a time to oat all kinds of things, the thought that he had oaten a snake was too much for him and nature revolting, he parted with his breakfast.

By all means keep your ewes healthy and vigorous, for upon a healthy, thrifty condition of ewes depends your success. The healthy ewe Is able to live on rougher forage than your other farm stock, but it is with sheep as with all else. You must give them some attention if you expect profit. Men, who every season make money from their lambs, find that if they feed An Ideal Flock Header. them better for several weeks and flush the ewe stock each fall, that* Is, before going to the buck, there are more twins and more milk at lambing time. Many of the troubles with weak lambs and empty udders would be avoided if your ewes were fatter when brought in for the winter. Try the plan of flushing your ewes, then follow with good pasture and you will see from results that the plan makes moat profits. Have a dry, wellsheltered roomy yard, with deep shed for the ewes. If you have neighbors with dogs, have a tight, stout woven wire fence with board at top and bottom around" t be ~ sheep "toidf'j—Keep the sheep in this yard at night—this will save your sheep, as well as your temper. HANDY DOOR FOR HOG HOUSE Practical Arrangement of Passage Way to Keep Larger Animals in and Little Fellows Out. A simple method of arranging a door for the hog house is given In the Practical Farmer. The illustration gives a good Idea of its construction. Use 2x4s, putting raw sides toward the door. In the 2x4s bore a few Door for Hog House. holes, inch or larger. In these put an iron rod, or a fork handle to hold up so pigs can walk under and hogs cannot. The rod will hold up door and prevent sow from lifting door. Nail boards on each side of 2x4s to slide door in. SHOULD NOT NEGLECT COLT if Youngster Is Properly Handled From Beginning It Will Not Give Much Trouble. The farmer owning 40 acres or more of land, who does not raise at least one colt every year, is not doing his best. The mare will do most kinds of farm work and raise her colt without much loss of time. If the colt is properly handled from the beginning it will not give much trouble. Never allow it to run after its mother when she is working. This worries and frets the mare, and it wears out the colt. Keep it at the barn, loose hi a box stall, end tempt it with a little clover hay and oats. Early colts will be weaned pret* y toon now. If they have been brought up to this point right, weaning does not mean much. Feed more requently with sweet clover hay, oats and corn, and the colt will noon be able to take care of itself. Keep- It in the barn at night and allow it to run with other young stock in the pasture during the day. Feeding Hogs* It is best never to feed hogs on the ground. It is no mors natural for a hog to pick his feed up out of the dirt and mud than for any other animal to do so, although circumstances have in •many eases forced him to do so. Have floors on which to food bogs, and not oolywill you save0 feed br using? them, but ihey will a p p e l a t e tfrflr rations much more.

FATTENING VALUE OF PEAS For Use With Cattle Crop Probably is Unexcelled—Make Good Food for Horses at Work. (By PRO*'. THOMAS N. SHAW.) There is no kind of live stock on the farm to which peas cannot be fed with positive advantage when tbey are to be had at prices not too high. They are not commonly fed to horses, since they can seldom be spared for such a use, but they make a good food for horses at work, and for colts during the period of development, if given as a part or the grain food. As a food for fattening cattle, peas are probably unexcelled. Much of the success which Canadian feeders have achieved In preparing cattle for the block has risen from the free use of peas in the diet. During the first part of the finishing period they will be found peculiarly helpful in making beef, owing to their relative richness in protein, but they are also a satisfactory food at any stage of the fattening process. During the first half of the finishing period peas will be found superior to corn, but toward the close of the same, corn could probably be fed with greater relative advantage. Peas with oats or bran make an excellent grain food for cattle that are being fattened. Speaking in a gen* eral way, peas should form about onethird, by weight, of the meal fed, but, as every feeder knowB, the relative proportions of meal used should vary somewhat as the season of fattening progresses.' MAKES SLOPPING HOGS EASY Pen so Arranged That Animals Cannot Get at Trough While It Is Being Filled or Cleaned. I have a hog pen with trough so located that the hogs cannot get at it while It ia being filled. To make such a pen take corner posts of 2x4 and nail on lengths of 1x4 or 1x6 for sides and For Feeding Hogs. ends, writes N. 3. Widders in the Missouri Valley Farmer. Make the ususl V trough and nail securely to the bottom board at one end of pen. Instead of boarding up the pen tight at the trough end leave an open space the length of trough, with a board across top and bottom, then make a gate and hinge to the top board on. the inside. Take a short length of stout wood for a latch and bolt to the second board of gate, with one bolt. When you want to fill the trough turn the latch until it misses the trough, push the gate in till latch is beyond trough, then tum latch to upright position again. The hogs cannot bother you while tyu are cleaning the trough or pouring in the feed. • hog Btraply will not be responsible for poor fences. There is no better place to raise pigs than in a good pasture. Even the hogs like a variety of feed and will do better if they can get it. There is no animal that responds so quickly to good feed and treatment as the pig. How much per bushel can be made from wheat by feeding to hogs? In what way should it be fed? Almost every wrong act of the horse is caused by fear, excitement or mismanagement, said a great horseman. The individuality of each horse should be studied, and the feeds sup* piled to meet individual requirements. Feed roughage to the stock before giving them grain, as it invigorates and excites the digestive apparatus to action. The pure-bred sire and a dam of the same type of as good blood ss It is possible to get will usually bring a desirable colt. Be sure to have some disinfectant .to use on the young: colt's navel when he arrives. A half minute at this time may save the colt later. In eight years ottt of ten the hog feeder will make money, in one year he will lose and in one break oven. This Is the year of the even break. Twenty acres of corn put into a silo is said to be worth more than SO acres pat in the crib. This Is quite an item, especially when food 1» so high. N-? Begin to break the colt early if yon would'have aa easy time with the work aad a well.broken horse. A two* yeer-otd is easier to -break than a fcwr-y«e>o!u\ Whoa purebred swine are kept for breeding purposes they should be givoh every opportunity for hone an* muacto development, rather than th< afoduotloa ot fat. f iVTUaXJR P .

His Veracity. Jim Slocum of Mongomery county, avers the Kansas City Journal, was called as a witness to Impeach the testimony of a man in that county. Jim1 was asked if he was acquainted with the reputation of the witness for truth and veracity. Jim laid that he guessed' maybe he was. "Is it good or bad?"' ' "Well,' said Jim, "I don't want to, do the man an injustice, but I willj say that if his neighbors were to see, him looking as It he was dead they;! would want some corrobatin' evidence before they would be willing to bury him."

Swarthout hurried to the rescue but before he could put on the brakes Brighton got a couple more mak; ing the count 12 to 8 in favor cf Brighton. Before the game,ground rules were made by the two teams giving the base runner one base on a passed ball if he could get it, this rule was also to do away with the blocked ball. In the 8th a passed ball hit a spectator bounded back and a Brighton base coming in from third was touched out making the third out. The man was called out, the Brighton team refushed to allow the decision to stand and appealed to their umpire who referred the ground rule question to the Brighton captain who disclaimed all knowledge of any and, after a long argument, the Pinckney team left the field and the Brighton umpire declared the game forfeited. Brighton is booked to play here this week Saturday and the boys say that they will surely defeat them. But they intend to give them a square deal as they are confident of winning on their merits alone. PINCKNEY AB R H H. Swarthout,c and p.2 4 Kennedy, l b , 5 2 R.

Pinckney had a new line-up,Clark playing third, Hendee going to short, Tupper to center and Duane Lavey playing right. Moron started for Pinckney and was in fine form being found for six widly scattered hits and no runs in 7 innings. Swartbout went in, in the 8th and finished the game (Hendee going behind the bat) striking out four men and only allowing one hit. South Lyon got their lone ran in the ninth when Hendee fell down fielding a bunt and Van- Atta scored. H. Swarthout had a great day at bat getting a homer, a double and a single in four times np. Clark also bit for fonr bases, Hendee for three and Kennedy for two. Boy Moran again officiated as umpire with satisfaction to all. PINCKNEX AB R H 0 A E H.

The II<any business friends of F. G. Jackson will be pleased, to learn of his new alliancejwith W. E. Murphy in the Grocery and Gent's Furnishing business at the old stand, the firm now beings known as Murphy & Jackson. These two business men are too well known to the people who do their trading in Pinckney to require any introduction. As everybody knows, they have had exceptionally good success in their business here, both having started here and spent the greater part of their business careers catering to the wants of the local consumers. Mr. Jackson, desiring to be at home oftener, has severed his connection with Edson Moore & Co., wholesale dry goods merchants of Detroit, for whom he has been traveling salesman and will be "on the job" at all times in the store of Mnrphy & Jackson. Mr. Marphy will also be there, ready and willing as usual to sell prunes or talk about the Tigers. We wish to congratulate Messrs Murphy and Jackson on the new partnership and wish them the best of success and we also want to congratulate the Pinckney public for the pleasure of dealing with iheee-twe- rnerehants without the trouble of going to two stores to do so as in,,the past. We regret Mr. Roche's departure from the business. He has made a host of friends while here and we understand his plans for the future do not contemplate leaving Pinckney. GET AHEAD of the FLIES Life's too short to bother with flies. Some people go to the sea-shore and escape them. But most stay at home. If you haven't looked over your screen doors and windows yet, and noticed their deficiencies, you ought too. They will probably need new wire, or taaybe you'll need new doors and windows. Better look this matter up at once. If you have looked over last years^ screens, noticed a few holes here and there, then shaken your head and said "Ob, they'll do,'1 you're making a big mistake. Better have no screens at all, than have screens with holes in. For the flies will come in just as bad through'torn screens as if the door stood wide open- When you can buy new, fresh screens as uheap as we're selling them, why will you put up with the torment and danger of flies pouring through old screens. Then you want to consider the great improvement in appearance our spick-and-span screens will make in yonr home.

JenkinB tells U g h t n u t of the encounter he h a d * U h a hideous Chinaman dressed In pajamas. In a message from his friend, Jack Billings. U g h t n u t is asked to put up "the kid for the night on his w a y home from college. I^ater Llghtnut finds a beautiful girl in blwck pajamas in his room. Lightnut is shocked by the girl's drinking, smoking and slangy talk. She tells h m her name Is Francis and puzzles him with a story of her love for her s i s t e r s room-mate, named Frances. Next morning the girl Is missing and Llghtnut hurries to the boat to see her off. He is accosted by a husky college boy, who calls him "Dicky," but he does not see the girl. Jack Billings calls to spend the night with U g h t n u t . They discover priceless rubles hidden In the buttons of the pajamas. Billings dona the pajamas and retires. U g h t n u t later discovers In his apartment a beefy person In mutton- chop whiskers and wearing pajamas.

But, as It la, I guess you're the one now who will have to set me right with these people. You'll have to stand for me." Jenkins looked alarmed. He addressed the officers eagerly: "S'help me," he cried, his glance Impaling the prisoner with scorn, "1 never see this party before In the ten years I been in New York!" "Call for the wagon, Tim," said O'Keefe Bhortly, Indicating the •phone. "The fool's going to give trouble. Kahoka ApartmentB, tell Hurry; let's get him to the CHAPTER XI. (Continued.) "Oh, come now, Braxton," said the officer in a tone of disgust, "stop your foolery; you're Juat using up time. Ain't It enough that you're in this building and in this gentleman's rooms?" "In his rooms!" exploded Foxy Grandpa. "Why, you lunkhead, this gentleman will tell you I am his .J3West!V.L.He_turaed„to nie with a s_ort_ of angry laugh. 'Tell him, Ughtnut," he rasped. "I've had enough of this!" The big policeman's features expanded in a grin, while Tim doubled forward an instant, his blue girth wabbling with Internal appreciation of the Foxy one's facettousness; and the janitor snickered. Jenkins looked shocked. As for me, dash It, I never so wished for my monocle, don't you know! O'Keefe's head angled a little«to give me the benefit of a surreptitious wink. "Oh, certainly," he said, his voice affecting a fine sarcasm; "If the gentleman says you're his friend—" "He's no friend of mine," I proclaimed indignantly. "Never saw him before in my life." Instead of being confounded, the artful old villain fell back with a great air of astonishment and dismay. By Jove, he managed to turn fairly purple. "Wha-at's that?" he gasped Strangllngly and clutching at the collar of his pajamas. "Say that again, Dicky." I looked at him severely. "Oh, I say, don't call me 'Dicky/ either," 1 remonstrated quietly. "It's a name I only like to hear my intimate friends use." He kind of caught the back of a chair and glared wildly at me from under his bushy wintry eyebrows. The beefy rolls of his lower Jaw actually trembled. "Don't you—haven't you always classed me as that, Die—er—Llghtnut?" he sort of whispered. By Jove, the effrontery of such acting fairly disgusted me. I looked him over from head to foot with measured them, street." He made a dive at the figure In the chair and jerked him forward. But his grip seemed to slip and he only moved his prisoner a few inches. He tried again with about the same result. "Get a move on, Tim," he said pantingly. "He's bigger, somehow, than he looks, and awful heavy; it'll take both of us. Get up, Braxton, unleas you want the club!" The man settled solidly In the depths of the chair. "Club and be hanged!" he replied with a snap of his jaw. "I won't go in any dirty police wagon—that's flat! Y^ou may take me in a hearse first. "Foxy^f Get a cab or a taxi, if I have to go. with you!" "ffiamey ol£ sport, anyhow, by* Jove!* l thought with sudden admiration. Couldn't help it, dash it! Heart Just went out to him, somehow. I gently interposed as O'Keefe prepared to lunge again. "I'll stand the cab for him, officer," I said with a smile, "if your rules, don't you know, or whatever it Is, will allow." I added in a lowered voice: "Wakes' ~I t~devtr ist-esBTeT-for—yotr,- don't you know, and avoids such a Jolly row. And—er—I want to ask you and your friend to accept from me a little token of my appreciation." The policeman exchanged a glance with Tim and considered. "Well, sir," he said, "as to the cab, of course if you're a mind to want to do that, It's your own affair," He turned to his companion. "Just cancel that, Tim," he directed. "Call a four-wheeler." "Thank you, Llghtnut." put In the old man gratefully. "You have got a grain of decency left, by George, after all!" Meantime, Jenkins was answering my inquiry. "I don't believe, sir, you have a bit of cash in the bouse. You told me so when you were retiring." By Jove, I remembered now! The poker game in the evening! I was wondering whether they could use a check, when I spied Billings' wallet on the table. The very thing, by Jove! Examination showed, first thing, a wad of yellow-backs, fresh from the bank. I peeled off two and pushed them into the officer's hand. "This belongs to a friend of mine," I remarked; "but it'B Just the same as my own, don't you know, and he won't BEAD _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THTS f • • • * • " • * • PROOF C l t F U U .

Why, you can see he ain't so very big." He nodded to Jenkins and the janitor. "Here, you two! Help us, can't you?" And with one mighty, united heave, they brought the loudly protesting old man to his feet and held him there. O'Keefe faced me. "Might be well to take a look around, sir, and see If you think of anything eiBe he's stolen, before we take him off." "Good idea, Llghtnut!" Old Braxton stopped struggling and whirled his head toward me, his face almost black with rage. "Ha, ha! Why don't you have me searched? There's not a pocket in these damn pajamas!" "Anything whatever, sir, we'll have him leave behind," said O'Keefe. "By Jove!" I don't know how I ever managed to say it. Fact is, things had just suddenly spun round before me like a merry what's-lts-name. For I did recognize something! The old fellew's unabashed reference to pajamas was what brought It to my attention. "Ha!" O'Keefe nodded. 'There is something! Just say the word, sir." I looked helplessly at Jenkins, and then I saw that of a sudden he recognized them, top. His eyes rolled at me una'erstandingly. "What is it, sir?" demanded O'Keefe respectfully. 'The law requires—" I swallowed hard. "It—it's the pajamas," I said faintly. The old rascal tttered a roar and tried to get at me. "You cold-blooded scoundrel!" he bellowed. "So this Is why—" But here a Jab of the night stick tonk him In th ? «<d« ™Hh ft sound mta a blow on a punching bag. Words left the old man and he gasped desperately for breath. O'Keefe tried to shake him. "Did you get those pajamas In here?" he demanded fiercely, and he drew back his stick as though for another Jab. But the old geezer nodded quickly, glaring at me and trying to wheeze something. "That's enough," said the officer. He turned to me. "You recognize them, do you, sir?" "I—I think BO," I stammered, looking at Jenkins, who nodded. "They belong to a friend of mine who—a— must have left them here." "I see." He fished out a note-book. "Mind giving me the name, sir? Just a matter of form, you know—" He licked his pencil expectantly. "Oh, I say, you know—" I gasped at Jenkins. "I don't think she—I—" "Certainly not, sir," affirmed Jenkins, solemnly looking upward. "She?" The note-book slowly cloaed, then with the pencil went back '•• »*-/h»*a along now, Braxton—shut up, I tell you!" And with all four of them behind the charge, they managed to rush the loudly protesting old man to the door. "I won't go without my clothes, 1 tell you," he raged. But he did. Fighting, swearing and protesting, the jolly old vagabond waa roughly bundled into the elevator. "Good night, sir," called O'Keefe as the tour of them dropped downward. "We'll let you know if it seems necessary to trouble you." Once again inside, Jenkins and I just stared at each other without a word, we were that tired and diBguated. To me, the only dashed crumb of comfort in the whole business was the wonderful fact that Billings seemed to have slept like a jolly Rip through the whole beastly row. CHAPTER X I I I . Frances. By Jove, it seemed to me I had been asleep about a minute when I saw the sunlight splashing through the blinds. Jenkins stood beside me with something in his hand. "Didn't hear me, did you, sir?" he was asking. T said I thought the address looked'like Mr. Billings' handwriting. And he's gone, sir." "Gone?" I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my ©yea—I had _a befogged-notion, that Jenkins looked a little queer. "Yes, Bir. He's not in his room, nor In the apartment anywhere." "Eh—how—what's that?" For Jenkins' hand extended an envelope. "Perhaps you would like to read this now, sir." It was from Billings—I knew his fist In an instant. It was very short and without heading. In fact, above his name appeared just a half-dozen penciled words, heavily underscored, and without punctuation: Damn you send me my clothes "His cinthes?" I looked perplexedly at Jenkins. He was noklng a little pale and held his eyes fixedly to the picture molding acrosb the room. He coughed gently. "Yes, sir," lie uttered faintly; "they're in his room, but he ain't." lie stepped back, leaving something on the stand by my bed. "What's that?" I questioned in alarm. "Another note?" "In His Roomsr contempt. "I don't know you at all," I said coldly, turning away. "Ye gods!" be wheezed, clutching at his grlzsled hair. - * - — > — « . J.

"It'-s entertaining, but enough of a thing—" But the old duffer caught his sleeve. "Wait!" he panted. "One s e c o n d - wait—just one second!" He looked at Jenkins and ducked hit neck forward, swallowing hard. "Jenkins," he said with a sickly smile. "You—you see bow U Is wltb IUghtnut—poor fellow! None of us ever thought be would go off that ' • $ • mind. Dash it, we're Just like broth-1 ers!" A howl of maniacal laughter from the old fool in the chair startled us both. "Regular Damon and Pythias, damn it!" he gabbled, grinning with hideous face contortions. "One for all, and all for one! And just help yourself; don't mind me. Why—hell!" O'Keefe prodded him sharply in the shoulder with his night stick. "Stop your skylarking now, Foxy," he admonished angrily, "and come on. Here the gentleman's gone and put up his money for a cab for you and you ought to want to get out of his way so he can rest." "He's sure been kind to you," supplemented Tim, whose eye had noted the passing of the yellow boys. "Kind!" mocked the old geezer, showing his scattered teeth In a horrible grin. "Why, he's a lu-lu, a regular Samaritan!" "No names!" warned O'Keefe, slightly lifting his night stick. "Come on to the street—you seem to forget yon're under arrest" He added hastily: "And I ought to have warned yon that anything you may say, Foxy—" "Oh, you go to—Brooklyn!" snarled Foxy. "For two plus I'd knock your block off, you fat-headed Irish fool! Think I'm going down to the sidewalk without my clothes?" "Are your clothes somewhere in this building?" I asked with some sympathy. He whirled on me sceertngiy and jeered like a jolly screech owl: "Oh, no; not exactly in the building— they're on the flagpole on the roof, of course! He-he-he? Bloody good joke, Isn't it?" t sat on the edge of the table wearily; and, catching the policeman's eye, shrugged my seen Id erg significantly. "You're right, sir," he s~d<*pologetically. "We won't fool a second longer. Here, you take that side, Tim. Let's pull!" And they, did pull, but, by Jove, tbey couldn't raise htm. "Queerest go I ever see," Tim gasped.

When this method Is followed, the dairyman is always in debt to the cow dealer. The bull should be kept in good thrifty condition. A cross bull may often be tamed by turning one or two dry cows into the lot with him. Bulls should have daily exercise and be grain fed. If this is n o t done, they may become impotent or slow in serving. T h e young bull should be kept in a separate pasture and not allowed t o run with the heifers.

My barn has a cement basement, tho walls being eight feet in the clear, excepting where the driveway goes through, writes W. J. Yarnall in the Breeders' Gazette. The side walls are 16 inches at the bottom and 12 inches at the top. T h e end walls are 14 inches at t h e bottom and the same at the top. T h e driveway goes through on the level of the ground or about four inches above the ground level. It all has a cement floor.

A woman reader wishes help regarding ropy milk, asking* the cause and the cure. T h e milk is strained a* night and the next morning the cream i s ropy and must be thrown away. It Is not always easy t o trace the cause of ropy milk to i t s source. Without going into any lengthy explanation, it may b e said that ropy or slimy milk is caused by certain bacteria. One type may be found in dirty, stagnant water. If the cows wade i n this water their flanks and udders become the resting place for this type. T h e bacteria are easily transferred to the milk at milking time. The stable becomes infected, a s It were, and also t h e utensils that come in contact with the milk. T h e germs lodge in the crevices of the utensils and readily propagate in the warm milk. The cure lieB i n absolute cleanliness. All utensils should be thoroughly scalded. Lime Is a n excellent destroyer of all germ life. The utensils* may be given a coating of the slaked lime, then washed in boiling water. It may be necessary t o give t h e stable a thorough cleaning with lime used a s whitewash. HANDY DEVtCE IN THE BARN Lever Attached to End Used for Opening and Closing Stanchions— , How It Is Made.

It has one box-stall, one double stall and four single stalls, and a harness room. Keeping Milk Sweet. One of our enterprising dairymen sent a bottle of milk to Paris at the time of the exposition. It made t h e journey over and back, a trip of 28 days, and was still sweet. There was no preservatives used, and the only precaution was t o have the dishes and bottle perfectly sterile, cooling the milk at once and keeping it all t h e time at a low temperature. This seems a good while t o keep milk sweet, but it shows what cleanliness and a low temperature can d o with milk. $ DAIPY Ncres The1 Lever Do.ee i.

In his investigation of the radioao tlvity of the organs of the human body. Dr. Albert Caan or Heidelberg has examined 41 organs from 13 different persons, and every one of them contained some substance that made the ajr electrically conductive, as shown by the Bercker emanometer. ft was concladed that this substance must be radioactive, though possibly not radium itself. The brain, and also the lungs, proved very active; but the heart and liver were less so, and the kidneys and spleen showed only slight activity. The radioactive substance seemed to increase with age and in disease. Little effect was shown from such conditions as social position, occupation or manner of living, and even locality of living was unimportant. Radioactive substances —the effect of which on the vital activity of the body cells remains to |be learned—might come from food and drink, or from the air. The testing emanometer Includes a receptacle for the ashes of about 100 grains of the organ under test, and this is connected by electric wires and a rubber tube to a wire electrometer—with a microscope for fine readings—in the circuit of a storage battery. The new Pulitzer School of Journal- Ism at Columbia university is not to be thrown open to women, it has been decided, but the reason given Is the broader ground of the university policy that does not admit women to courses, rather than the narrow principle of feminine unfitness for the vocation 'n question, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Some women have brilliantly succeeded as newsgatherers; a certain conscientious persistency united to the quality of human sympathy has .enabled them to And their way where a man might prove a mere Impatient trespasser. Both In this country and abroad there save been feminine editors who have neither sought jior- required indulgeaee-beeatise tfceywere not men. On the whole, tho editorial rather than the reportorlal capacity— seems- better adapted to the womanly natures of delicate susceptibilities and refinement But women have succeeded both as reporters and as editors. At a meeting of the Llnnean society of London, Prof. Poulton presiding, a letter was read from Herr Paul Scherdlin, as follows: "For hundreds of years pigeons have nested on the spire of Strassburg Cathedral. They increased so much that many attempts have been made to extirpate them, but in vain. During the last few years there has been a sudden and startling diminution in the number of these cathedral pigeons. I am of the opinion that this manifest reduction Is due to the asphalting of the streets rouvl the cathedral. Between the stone sets of the pavement the pigeons were able to pick up food In Quantity. In consequence of the asphalting and daily watering and cleansing of the places in the immediate neighborhood the birds have sons." * A Harvard professor says that every man is responsible for his own face, as it reflects the qualities most in control of the Individual. Here is a scientific Indorsement of the method, generally condemned as superficial, of taking every one on bis face value. The Paris police have ruled that pugilists must not hurt each other. Judging by the French duel, this Is the only way boxing will ever be made popular in France. FEAST FOR HARMONY Democratic Women Will Have Dolly Madison Dinner. MRS.

By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—The woman Democrats of Washington are to have a Harmony Dinner on the anniversary of the birth of Dolly Madison, whom they have chosen as the patron saint of female Democracy. Dolly Madison was born so long ago that it would be ungallant to give the year, but the month was May, and the day was the twentieth. At the dinner will be several hundred women guests, all Democrats. The .presiding officer by natural right and natural choice will be Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the speaker of the national house of representatives. Mrs. Robert C Wickltffe is recognized, as was some centuries ago a churchman namesake, as the morning star of a new movement Mrs. Wlckllffe 1B the wife of the Democratic representative In congress from the Sixth Louisiana district. She had only to impart her thought to other women connected by marriage, parentage or sisterly ties with the Democrats in congress to have It received with enthusiasm and given the instant force of a propaganda. The only thing about the whole affair which even in a sense is borrowed appears to be the thought that a "harmony dinner" will be about the right thing. It probably will be remembered that the man Democrats prepared and carried through successfully & like affair on the night of Jackson day, the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. At the Jackson night feast Democratic candidates for the nomination for the presidency sat in elbow-to-elbow amity at the clrief table. At the Dolly Madison dinner Mrs. Champ Clark, Mrs. William J. Bryan, Mrs. Oscar W^-Underwootlr Mrs^-Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Judson Harmon, Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, Mrs. John A. Dix, Mrs. Eugene N. FOBS, and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst will sit at the first table to help give the grace of harmony with the grace of other things to the occasion. Mrs. Cleveland May Be There. It is possible that Mrs, Grover Cleveland will be present at the dinner. She has been invited, but it Is not certain yet that she will be present. If Mrs. Cleveland shall come, she will be, by right of the fact that she is the widow of a president of the United States, the chief guest of the occasion, but otherwise there will be no recognition of rank. MrB. Alton B. Parker also may be present and these guests called from a distance will have as close table companions women descendants direct and collateral of several presidents of the United States. Among the chief executives who will be represented "through1 posterity" are Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Buren, Andrew Jackson, James Monroe and John Tyler. The younger generation of Democracy will be well represented on the occasion. The daughters will be there in numbers, "a goodly array," it la said of Democratic youth and loveliness. The walls of the big dining room are to do duty as a framework for flowers. The music will be patriotic and not partisan, but the toasts in part will be to the welfare of Democratic principles, to the deeds of Democratic women, and to harmony among Democrats regardless of sex. Mrs. Champ Clark Is to be the toast mistress. What the Insects Cost. In writing upon the subject of a bill recently introduced by congress, to protect the birds of the United States, William E. Brigham said this: "If all the six hundred colleges and all the college endowments In the' United States should be destroyed tomorrow, the insect tax of one year not only would replace them, but would leave a balance sufficient to endow" thirty-two new universities in the sum of $10,000,000 each. It costs more,, by many millions each year to feed our insects than to educate our 20,000,000 children." If the writer of the above had wanted further to impress home the necessity of bird protection, he might have added the statement of a French scientist who after an exhaustive study of the relation of birds to agriculture said that if the birds were annihilated that man could not survive on tbo earth for six months. When the Frenchman's word was doubted, scientists from all countries of the globe came forward to substantiate his word on the subject This Is the way that the Frenchman summarized the matter. He said that If the bird enemies of the insects were killed the destructive creatures would increase so rapidly that in a few months every green thing on the earth would be devoured and that man would be powerless to keep pace with the ravagee of the insect enemy, even though he used every known moans like poison and fire. With the passing of the herbs and the grass and the trees the animals all would die and man would have nothing to live upon except the fish of tho sea and these would be Insufficient to keep man living even though they could be obtained by the people remote from the sources of supply. Senator George P. McLean or Connecticut has introduced into congress a bill supplementary to the one which h© introduced some time ago to protect the birds of America. It Is not known what action congress will take, but there are evidences at hand that the agrlcultnrists of the country are taking a deep Interest in the matter for they are adding their word of support to the words of the bird protectors generally and to those of the sportsmen and the people who are humanitarians without having any greater Interest in birds than they have in other forms of animal life which they thing should be protected. In the year 1904 Dr. C. L, Bartlett, basing his estimate on the crop reports of the department of agriculture, asserted that the loss to the agricultural industries that year, caused by insects alone, could be conservatively placed at $795,100,000, and this does not include a dollar used for insecticides. State Ornithologist Forbush of Massachusetts, in his comprehensive book entitled "Useful Birds," maintains that insect pests destroy agricultural products to the value of $800,000,000 a year. The details whereby such enormous totals are reached are available and indicate that the scientists are not guessing wildly. For example, the Hessian fly in 1904 cost the wheatgrowing states $60,000,000. Cinch bugs cost the Mississippi valley $100,- 000,000 in one year. Rocky Mountain locusts, in their years -of greatest activity, cost the northwest more than $150,000,000. Cut-worms have caused a JOBS of $100,000,000 at one time. Thus it is Been that the terrible loss of $800,000,000 in one year is fairly easy of proof. Their Marvelous Fecundity. The fecundity of many insects is beyond imagination. The green leaf louse or aphis, so destructive of the bop industry, and many other of our most valuable fruits and vegetables, reproduces its kind at a rate of ten sextillion to the pair in one season. These inconceivable figures mean 40,- 000 for every square Inch of land that is above water. Placed in the Indian file, ten to the inch, it would take light traveling at the rate of 180,000 miles per second 2,500 years to reach the file leader. The potato bug is less fecund. One pair will reproduce from fifty to sixty millions only in one season. The unchecked natural increase of one pair of gypsy moths would de- •foHate-the--Jutted- -States—hr eight I ie. years. K , o n Insects live to eat. Some insects Increase their size at birth ten thousand times in thirty days. No less than 176 species of insects attack the apple, plum, peach and cherry trees; 400 species are found upon the oak. Fortunately for the protection of humanity against its insect enemies, birds are among the most Important agencies in staying the inroads of insect devastation. Most birds eat most of the time and eat insects and little else. Mr. TreadweJl of the Boston Society of Natural History fed a yo.ung robin sixty-eight angleworms in one day. A young crow will eat twice Its weight a day of almost anything set before it. Mr. Forbush haB seen two parent grosbeaks in eleven hours make 450 trips to their nest, carrying two or three larvae at a time. Old Wabash to Be Broken Up. The old wooden frigate Wabash, which has been at the Boston navy yard in service as a receiving ship for a long time, 1B to be broken up and that which is metal about her will bo sold for junk, while the woodwork will be burned on one of the islands in Boston harbor. The Wabash has been at the Boston navy yard or, more properly speaking, the Charlestown navy yard, for thirtyseven years. There are not many stirring associations connected with tho Wabash. She saw service during the Civil war, but was in no "wing and wing" sea fights during that conflict. She was present at the bombardments of Hatteras Inlet, Port Royal and Fort Fisher, but of encounters like that in which the old Constitution engaged In L / • * ^ SITUATION ^AftOJLLND NEW ORLEANS WORST SINCE WATERS BEGAN RISING. LOSS MAY REACH $100,000,000 IN SOUTH. Looters Reaping Rich Harvest Throughout Country; Heavy Loss of Life Is Feared in Villages People Refused to Leave. With wutcr pouring through live new breaks which have occurred in the levees along the Mississippi river and its tributaries, the flood situation in this section is more serious than it has been at any time since the waters began rising. Fourteen hundred feet of levee have been swept out at Torras, widening the crevasse to 3,000 feet and releasing a wall of water 8 to 10 feet high and half a mile wide. This will in. undated West Baton Rouge and Iberville parish and add greatly to the flood damage in Pointe Coupee. Farmers report hundreds of people are marooned in their homes who are in urgent need of relief. Looters in skiffs are reported to be reaping a rich harvest in the inundated country. Many houses from which their occupants were hastily driven have been broken open and robbed. Over 1,000 refugees have passed through New Roads. All of them tell the same story of hardship, misery and suffering. Most of them have been rendered penniless. A general exodus from the New Orleans district is reported by army officers. The people are panic si ricken at the sight of the steadily rising river. Thus far most of the' levees are holding, but they are in a highly critical condition. Estimates received place the probable damage at not less than $50,000,- 000 in the Mississippi valley. Less conservative estimates than those of army engineers place the total at $100,000,000. N E W 5 O F MICHIGAN General Pension Bill Parsed. The house 17U to 57 accepted cont o r t on the de4tef-a-dfty-pe*t— bill. The period of enlistment for beneficiaries u"der the new law was fixed at 90 days in both the civil and Mexican wars. The measure will cost the government about $27,000,000 annually. The bill now goes to President Taft. His advisers think he will sign it. Under the constitution, the president has 10 days in which to act. 11 he does not sign it within that time it becomes a law. Hibben Now Heads Princeton. before a brilliant assemblage of Princeton alumni, undergraduates, trustees and faculty and many thousand guests and representatives from other institutions throughout the country, John Grier Hibben, the fourteenth president, of Princeton university, was formally inducted into office. Gomez "Beat It" for San Antonio, Tex. Emilio Vasquez Gomez, "provisional president'' of Mexico, has quit bis "capitol" in Juarez." Francisco Pra« dillo, who imported him, said that, he was hiding in that city* Other rebel officials said Gomez had "bent it" lor San Antonio. Pradillo admitt.ee! that Gomez had gone to Texas. the war of, 1812 the Wabash had none. When it is learned that a man-ofwar is to be put out of commission and sold or broken up, and there comes no protest from the people, it can be pretty well understood that little of sentiment attaches to the vessel and that her career waa not one of pulse-stirring interest. If It were suggested that the Oregon should be given up or that the Olympia, which was Dewey's ship In the Manila hay fight, were to be told for junk, It la probable tbat there would be an Instant demand from the country that they be saved. The Wabash, now about to be broken up. was preceded at the Charlestown navy yard as a receiving ship by the Ohio, a wooden full rigged ahlp without steam auxiliary. Every man on board the old Ohio war a sailor or fast on the way to become one: She was a slow ship, not even at fast as the old Constitution, but she was solidly built with oak and in her day was considered most formidable. The Ohio had a part in the Mexican war and was one of the ships which covered the landing of the United States troops on the coast of Mexico when Scott started on his campaign for the Mexican capital. On one occasion the Ohio came in close range of the land batteries and to show how Ineffective tome of the old Mexican guns were the Ohio, while It was struck twice at a distance of only a few hundred yards, the shots being received directly and not glancingly, suffered no material damage. Township Refuses to Harbor Leper. The Hampton township board haft flatly refused to consider a proposition from the Hay City health authorities to permit 10 acres of the county poo> farm in that township to be set aside for the use of Herman Herchfield, leper, who is now at Centerville, Iowa. It was proposed to isolate Herchfield at this place, Grant's Tomb Collapsing. Reports that the foundations of Grant's tomb, on Riverside Drive, New York, have been undermined by watter and that the magnificent mausoleum is in danger of collapse, are to be thoroughly investigated by an official commission, consisting of the chief engineer of the New York park department, Edward Miller and John H. Duncan, architect of the tomb. Against Parole of Frank Ashley.

Looking back, the motorists decided that things looked bad, but tbat they bad better go back and see whether the old party was killed.

It's easy to understand how ordinary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts. A physician speaks of his own experience: "Ihad used coffee for years and really did not exactly believe it was injuring me although I had palpitation of theheart every day. (Tea contains caffeine— the same drug found in coffee— and Is just as harmful as coffee.) "Finally one day a severe and almost fatal attack of heart troublefrightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead, and since that time I have had absolutely no heart palpitation except on one or two occasion* when I tried a small quantity of coffee,which caused severe irritation and proved to me I moat let it alone. "Whan we began using Postum It seemed weak—that was because we did not make it according to directions —but now we put a little bit of butter in the pot when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full 15 minutes which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color. "I have advised a great many of my friends and patients to leave off coffee and drink Postum, in fact I dally ve this advice." Name given by Posture Co., Battle Creek Mich.

They will be In charge of a committee composed of N. P.

The boys will be required to appear at the fair provided with sufficient clothing for necessary changes and with toilet articles and should any boy transgress the rules and be adjudged guilty he will be sent home at onoe—but this is not expected to happen, however. Michigan, boys have the opportunity this year to attend the annual State Pair at Detroit without expense for the Michigan State Agricultural Society has arranged for a Boys' State Pair School and will select eightythree boys, one from each county of the state, as pupils. These boys will be determined upon after an examination and will have every expense paid from the time they leave home until their return. They will receive an education in the practical sides of agriculture and will then be asked to write an essay upon the matters they have treated upon In the school lessons. The essays will be written in competition as valuable prizes are to be awarded to the sevtral winners. The committee in charge will go over these essays very carefully and decide upon the winner, who will receive $350 credit upon the purchase price of an R-C-H automobile which he may purchase immediately should he desire by paying the $350 difference or he may allow his •credit to stand and attempt to win the car finally by a victory in his second year in the Boys State Fair School. A double victory will give him the car outright. This magnificent gift is made by Mr. Geo. C. Hupp, Michigan distributor of the R-C-H Corporation of Detroit who is also offering to the pupils two pure bred Berkshire hogs as a prize. Mr. Hupp _is_aJb.EDiJlfiiL of .Miv R- C.

Look long and deep enough into pet* tonality, and if you have in your temperament something of tbe whimsicality of Charles Dickens, you will discover in every man and woman that you meet a fragment of that humor or that pathos, that ridiculousness or that heroism, that absurdity or that genial benovolence, which make up the Immense and beautiful mosaic of the Dickens temple. I confess that I have found it many times difficult to preserve a grave aspect in the society of the great and learned, that often 1 have longed to cry out to these mighty ones, "Rogue!" "Humbugl" WORTH KEEPING M MEMORY Qarnared Wisdom That Has Been Handed Down Through Generations of Housewives. When making sweet croquettes add a little sugar to tbe crumbs in which the croquettes are to be rolled. Cold water is preferable to warm for scrubbing doors because it does not sink into the wood and so dries quickly. Holding tomatoes over the gas flame will cause skin to burst and come off easier than when scalded, and the tomato will be less mushy than when scalded. Neglected brass may be polished with a paste of powdered bath brick and oil. Take two pieces of the brick and rub together. This makes a finer powder than if scraped with a knife. Cut hams may be kept from molding if the cut end is wet with vinegar each time after cutting. Vinegar will also keep beef fresh for a time when you happen to be without ice temporarily. To frost over a window without darkening the room, dissolve EpBom salts in hot water and paint over the window while the water is hot, then allow to dry. This is easily removed and is entirely opaque while on. Fringed cloths are often quite ruined in appearance at the laundry. They may be made to look like new for an indefinite period if, when they are starched, a little care be taken not to starch the fringe. Fold each cloth in four like a handkerchief and then gather the fringe of each part into the hand and hold It firmly while you dip the middle only into the starch. When the cloth is dry shake the fringe well and comb it with a specially kept toilet comb, "Stuff and nonsense!" While again and it will fall as softly and again.

Dr. Luther H. Qullck. director of the Hupp and in addition to his interest in the automobile business also takes the liveliest possible interest in agriculture, being owner with his brothers of a 200-acre farm near Birmingham. The Messrs. Hupp make a specialty of dairying and the raising of Berkshire hogs and of Guernsey cattle and for many years have been exhibitors all over the United States at State Fairs, having won a room full of trophies within ten years for both cattle and hogs. The Messrs. Hupp have ranked as state champions in the exhibition of cattle for years and have gained championship honors at all State Fairs throughout the middle west. The interest of Mr. George •C. Hupp is therefore quite natural and that interest will lead him into the channels of education when the boys come to the school and will prove very beneficial to the youngsters in an educational way. The car which is offered to the boy who wins in the essay contest twice is well known the world over and so much In demand that fully 15,000 will be made next year. Mr. Hupp wants to be generous in every way and even though the boy does not win the second year he will still have to his credit the $350 and may purchase the car then or allow the credit to stand still another year and try again. The victory one year will not allow the boy to transfer his equity in the car however to anyone -else. And in addition to the above prizes President Thos, B. Newton of the State Fair has offered $50 in gold and C. A. Tyler, superintendent of Live Stock, whose address is Coldwater, Mich., has offered two pure bred Hampshire lambs. Other prizes will be added from time to time so that tne fortunate boys who win out in the competitive examinations to be held in each county will be able to <jarry home with them if successful at the State Fair, enough live stock and gold to set them up in business and to enable them to grow into successful farmers and owners of live •.stock while still young men. Secretary and Manager J. Ev Hanson, whose idea of a Boys' State Fair School, caused the promoters of other state* fairs to sit up and take notice, has been more than gratified by the reception accorded his splendidly conceived plan, having received words •of encouragement from the school superintendents and school commissioners throughout the entire state of Michigan. The committee in charge of the school, consisting of N. P. Hull, master of the State Grange, Thomas Sattler, commissioner of schools; Frank Coward of Bronson and George Slocum of the Gleaners, have also received word from farmers all through the state commending the Boys' State Fair School and promising donations of seeds and live stock and other Articles as prizes, while manufacture r s of agricultural implements have promised to do their part in aiding along the good cause. So the boys have much to work for In taking their examinations, which will be based upon the Eighth Grade questions as Issued by the school commissioners of the state of Michigan and also upon their fitness to attend the school, the examinations to represent fifty per cent and the fitness of the candidate the other fifty per cent. This com. Mittee will be composed of the Commissioner of Schools, the Master of the State Grange, the President of the* Fanner's Institute and a representative of the Gleaners, in each •oounty who will caU to them .the three leading boys in the .examinations and then select by the examinations the torttwate lad and an alternate who rwill ,make the trip should the winner ee» able to do so. Upon tbe arof the school boys In Detroit rill be met and takes ears of { s Cruel Monarch. At the annual prize-giving at Woodford House School, Croydon, England, Mr. Ian Malcolm, M. P., addressed the girls, and Mrs. Malcolm gave away the prizes. Mr. Malcolm told the girls that.they must be thorough In alt that they did, work with understanding, and not mind asking questions, or they would end by being superficial. To illustrate this, he told the story of a little girl who informed her mother she had been learning about King John. Her mother inquired what sho had learned, and was told that he was a very cruel man, who rode all over the country In motor cars and ran over poople! Her mother was amazed, and inquired what she meant, to which the girl replied: "Well, mother, Miss Jones did say he ground the people down with heavy taxis."

A California judge decided that there Is no Judicial authority to keep a man from making love to his wife, although it could stop his beating her.

Another suggested cause of glacial periods la that they have been due to the shifting of the milky way, such aa is known to have occurred.

"Great Paul," the bell of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, weighs nearly- 17 tons and is nearly 30 feet around. The first "Big Ben" of Westminster was cast more than 50 years ago and weighed more than 14 tons. But "Big Ben" had a crack and was cast over, losing some weight, and the clapper) was made smaller, now being about 600 pounds instead of a ton. The great bell, "Peter of York," cost $11).- 000, weighs about 13 tons and is 2* feet in diameter. The largest hanging bell in the world Is in the great Buddhist monas^ tery near Canton. It Is 18 feet in! height and 40 feet in circumference,, being cast of solid bronze. This is o n * of the eight monster bells that were} cast by command of Emperor Yung] Lo about A. D. 1400.

PlZfH ItiS BAS Kitchen Line. A convenient clothesline for the kitchen or other place where a clothes drying line is sometimes'needed, is rolled into an oxidized copper reel case about five inches in diameter. This reel screws to a wall or casing and a hook Is put up in a casing on another wall. When the line is wanted it Is stretched across the space between the two and is fastened by a ring over the hook, the reel meanwhile catching it automatically and keeping it from slipping. When the line is not in use it is out of the dust in the reel casing. The line is 24 feet long. It would be a convenience for the kitchen veranda or porch of the summer cottage. Making Nut Muffins.

"My experience Is that the Grape- Nuts food has steadied and strengthened both brain and nerves to a most positive degree. How it does it I cannot say, but I know that after breakfasting on Orape-Nuts food one actually forgets he has a stomach, let alone 'stomaeh trouble.'

Ask some pompous person if Grape-Nuts Food helps build the brain. Chances are you get a withering sneer and a hjss_ of denunciation. Then sweetly play with the learned toad. Ask him to tell you the analysis of brain material and the analysis of Grape-Nuts. "Don't know? Why, I supposed you based your opinions on exact knowledge instead of pushing out a conclusion Lice you would a sneeze." "Well, now your tire is punctured, let's sit down like good friends and repair it." The bulky materials of brain are water and albumin, but these things cannot blend without a little worker known as Phosphate of Potash, denned as a "mineral salt." One authority, Geohegan, shows in his analysis of brain, 5.33 per cent total of mineral salts, over one-half being Phosphoric Acid and Potash combined, (Phosphate of Potash) 2.91 per cent. Beaunis, another authority, shows Phosphoric Acid and Potash (Phosphate of Potash) more than one-half the total mineraTxsalts, being 73.44 per cent in a total of 101.07. Analysis of Grape-Nuts shows Potassium and Phosphorus (which join and make Phosphate of Potash) is considerable more than one-half of all the mineral salts in the food. Dr. Geo.W. Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumin and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the pray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life.**. Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure/* Brain it made of Phosphate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albumin and water. Grape-Nuts contains that element as more than one-half of all its mineral salts. Every day's use of brain wears away a little. Suppose your kind of food does not contain Phosphate of Potash. How are you going to rebuild today the worn-out parts of yesterday) And if you don't, why shouldn't nervous prostration and brain-fag result? Remember, Mind does not work well on a brain that is even partly broken down from lack of nourishment It is true that other food besides Grape-Nuts contains varying quantities of Brain food. Plain wheat and barley do. But in Grape-Nuts there is a certainty.

W h y Nelson Pi • I #Nl»f iNrar/ww Try a Dispatch Liner Adv They Bring Quick Results PATENTS Mpft of Nelson's friend* had been busy conjecturing which would It be Oiill* or Justine. 4No man can like two girls exactly the same.' said Marian SM the girts were discussing the subject ''He may admire one for her looks; another for her cleverness; one may fascinate and oojole him with flattery while another he may care for her candor.' "Nelson is going to take Justine to the danoe tonight," announced Helen, "but probably Orilla had a previous engagement She never wants for admirers." Justine was radiant In her new gown when Nelson called for her. The nappy thought that he had showed her the preference gave her face a softened look of beauty. The ride to the ballroom was a short one. As Nelson helped her out of the carriage she put her hand up to her ear and exclaimed In dismay: "I've lost my earring!" "Are you quite certain you wore it?" "Positive," Justine answered nodding her head emphatically. "It's not likely I'd wear only one." "Don't worry about It. We're late already for the dance, and Its too chilly for you to stay out here while I search for It Let's go in the house and I'll return and see if you dropped It in the carriage." Nelson spent the greater part of the evening hunting for the trinket, but it was not to be found. All bis efforts ware In vain. When he rejoined the merry party Justine was the gayest of all. He commenced to sympathize with her and tried to console her for the loss, but to his great amazement she answered In a j joking tone free from all anxiety, 'Til advertise In the morning and offer a liberal reward.** "Anyway Justine if It wasnt for the earring, I might never have realized what pretty ears you have, and have something important for them to hear on our way home." "As Justine's parlner-came-to claim her dance Nelson soliloquized, "I believe I feel worse about the loss than she does. It was hard to decide whom I cared for the most, each seemed so desirable. Heaven be praised! I know now. Any girl who can loose a gorgeous jewel like that and say she can be just as happy without it, and that Jewels have no great charm for me, and it doesn't pay to worry one's head about an earring when there are so many more Important things to think about. By George! Hew stupid of me not to know sooner It was Justine I loved. Orilla Is forever fretting about infinitesimal microscopic nothings." On their way home Nelson said "my friendship for you has developed into an overpowering love. What would you do If I gave you a kiss?" he asked the girl. 'Td give It back to you," she answered promptly. Nelson and Justine were married a few months later. Before long Nelson could not refrain from noticing how easily provoked and exasperated his young wife could be over the smallest occurrences. The few times Nelson saw Orilla he marvelled how cheerful she looked while his own wife was continually complaining and nothing was good enough, or too good for her and she made such demands upon his time and pocketbook. It seemed inconceivable that she was the same person. When Edith's engagement was announced to the champion football player of the sea* son, Nelson felt a pang of regret when he thought how his judgment and calculations had played him false. "Orilla will make an Ideal wife for a professor," he vouchsafed to his wife. "It's easier to be a professor's wife" she snapped, "than to have to cater to a man who usually is late j for dinner." Nelson took the rebuke in silence and wondering what had happened today that had added two lines to bis wife's face. "You're as changeable as ths moon," complained he. "How easily you are annoyed. You worry thai your maid isn't capable, and yon worry when she threatens to leave. If jwm^ny a blue dress, you're sure it wilt look green In the gaslight and—*-'*' • "Have you finished?** interposed his wife. "With such an unsympathislng husband, It's surprising I havsnt nervous prostration,' she said, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Naturally It doesnt concern you, if I lost the gold hatpin mother brought from So* rope, rm dead tired hunting in every nook and corner for ft.

Harold Swarthout caught a fine game for Pinckney and in fact the whole team put up a good game, making only four errors. Stockbridgev got three of thftir rims in tha Hftrand inning when they bunched three hits with an error of Pinckney's, but were unable to draw anything better than a row of goose eggs until the eighth, when they managed to put another across.

Certain prominent motor manufactures of Detroit have appealed to the supreme court to knock out the so-called motor car speed ordinance on the grounds that it conflicts with the act passed by the legislature in 1909 for the "regulation of motor vehicles," which is still in force. I t is contended that this law specifically precludes all local authorities from regulating the speed of motors or making any other regulations conflicting with the law. The state law fixes the maximum speed on the streets of a city at 15 mjles per hour, and the penalty at $25 or 10 days for the first offence, ¢50 or 20 days for the second offence, and $100 or 30 days for the third offence. The traffic ordinance enacted by the city of Detroit fixes the speed minimum at 12 miles per hour in the down town district, and the penalty at anywhere from $1 to $300 and 30 days or both or either. The fundamental distinction however is, they claim, that the law gives the police court jurisdiction only and not the recorder's court where most of these motor car cases have been tried. There is one exception to the law. This provides that local authorities may make cemeteries. Fine Clip Of f u L - O. C. Burkhardt on MonJay brought to Chelsea from his farm in Lima the finest clip of wool that was ever placed on the Chelsea market, is the statement made by local buyers, The clip is f rom 60 full blood Black Top ewes, from one to five yeare old, and each fleece is as white as is possible unless they are put through a bleaching process.

Billings gulped agalfir—"I suppose n o t ; don't blame you. Way you're iflxed, you don't have to." He walked Islowly to the window and back. "Take my advice, Dicky, and get those Are <oals Into your safe deposit vault first thing In the morning. H«llo, you're counting them off! That's wise." For with the knife he had left on the table I was cutting away the tough threads that held the rubles. I c"ut"off -ttar-weronct and tottrth,- 4eaving the first ruby at the collar and the other two alternates. "Go on," said Billings, as 1 laid down the knife. "You've only removed two." "Don't believe I'll cut off any more," i said. "Want yon to help me tie up 1 lie others Just as they were." "What!" 1 insisted. And though Hillings protested and argued and even called me ijamjea, we did as I said. For, by Jove, you know it was perfectly clear that if they had, been safe KO long under the little covers, the jewels couldn't find any better place, singular thing Hillings couldn't sou It. kind the crowned heads scoop for jewels of state." 1 nodded, and, getting up carelessly, I strolled to a window. "Devilish lovely night," I said, poking my head out. And it was. Stars overhead and all that sort of thing, and lots of them below, too—I could hear them singing over on Broadway. "All right, old chap; then here they go Into the street," I said. "If my friend can't have 'em, then no Jolly crowned heads shall. That's flat!"' Billings started forward with a regular scream. I waved him back. "Don't come any nearer, old chap," I said, holding my arm out of the window, "or, dash me, I'll drop them Instantly. Six stories, you know—stone flagging below." "Hut. Dicky—" "If you don't say you'll take 'era, time I count three, I'll give 'em a toss, by Jove! One!" "Here, Dicky! Don't be a—" "Two!" I counted. No bluff, you know; I meant jolly well to do it. "Just one word—one second, Dicky!" he yelled. "Let me oft with one, then. Dicky! Dicky, old chap! Be a good sportsman!" I hesitated.^ Dash It, one hates to take an advantage. Hillings stretched out his arm appealingly. "Do, old chap!" he pleaded. "Give me just one—one only!" His hand shook like a quivering what's-Its-name leaf. I yielded reluctantly. "Oh, well, then, call It off with one," I said. And with a sigh I tossed him one of the rubles and dropped the other in the pocket of my smoking-jacket. Billings wiped his forehead, and then he thanked me and wiped his eyes. - "So- go^d—of- you to give inr old chap," he snuffled. "Never will forget you for 11!" "Oh, I say, chuck it, you know!" I protested. "Whole family will thank you," he went on in his handkerchief. "Princely magnanimity and all that sort of thing—you'll just have to come up for the week end with me this—" blondes, every time; especially those going around in black." Billings spoke gloomily. "Let me tell you, my boy— and I know—don't you ever have anything to do with a blonde if she's In black, especially black silk—hear?" By Jove, his uplifted linger and fierce way of saying It gave me a regular turn, you know. But then there was the/ ruby, and I was thinking that— "Perhaps the four of them in a bracelet," I muttered, "with something else to help out. They might do." "They might," said Billings in a tone of coarse sarcasm. 'They might do for a queen!" I flashed a quick look at him. "Just what I was thinking," I answered gently. "Meantime," said Hillings, yawning, "let's go to bed." And just as I rang for Jenkins 1 suddenly was seized with a perfectly ripping idea that checked a long yawn right in the middle and almost broke my jaw. For I saw how I could do something handsome that would even up with Hillings in a way for the ruby he wouldn't take. 'Tell you what, old chap," I said, slapping him on the shoulder, "you are going to have them tonight!" "Have—have what?" burst from "him. "Rubles? I tell you I won't take another—" "Rubies!" I ejaculated contemptuously. "Rubies nothing! Something better—something worth while, dash it!" I saw ho would never guess it. "Why, you shall sleep in the pajamas from China," I exclaimed. And gathering them, I placed them in his hands. "Hy George, Dicky!" Hillings' face showed teeiiug. "How iiifernal ly clever of you, old chap! How thundering timely, too!" He held them up singly, studying their outlines critically. "And see here, Dicky—why, great Thomas' cats!" His eyes turned on me wonderingly. "Never noticed it before— did you? Hut I do'believe they are just my size!" \ i- JVO "HesidM, the pajamas had to have fastenhaajt; you know. I held one of the two rubios under the light, and, by Jove, I almost drop- .;po5 It—did drop my glass. Seeing a rftd-hot poker-polnt in your ringers • would give you the same turn. T "JRippers, Billings! Simply rippers!" T exclaimed. f held the other ruby beside its fellow, Then I waited, listening, and I heard Hillings' hand strike down on the back of a chair. "I guess I'll be going, old chap," he said gruffly. "Think I'd better, after all." He cleared his throat. "Sure you can't sell me one, Dicky?" Dashed At his voice didn't tremble. "Quite sure, dear boy," I murmured, "without turning around. "Not mine, you know—these two." Billings exploded then. It seemed tun opportunity to relieve himself. •"Not yours! Why, you dodgasted idiot, you nincompoop, you cuckoo, you chicken head! What notion have you « o t In that fool's noddle now? If those rubles are not yours, whose do you .think they are?" E whirled about quickly. "Yours," 1 eale.and laid them in his hand. "Ife cenotpllmenta, old chap." I add- * < Celling. Bjritfove!

He fell into a chair and Just sat there mouthing at me and then at the Jewels in his band. OM boy looked •devilish silly. Really acted like he had some sort of stroke—that sort of fchJat. I bnghed at him. "tijm't yon ane?" I said, trying to explain. "Wouldn't have known a -dished thing about the buttons being rubies but for you. So lucky they -came Jp j&e so I oan get a chance to tielp out your collection. Awfully glad, old'idhap."

And Billings looked regularly overcome. AH he could do waa just shake his head and pump my arm. Why, dash it, this seemed to affect him more even than giving in about the ruby. It was the first time I had ever accepted his Invitation, you know. "Tell you what, old chap," he said, as soon as he could speak. "I'm going to tell you what to do with that other stone. You aave that for her." "Her!" By Jove, I was so startled I lost the grip on my monocle. Billings nodded emphatically. "Yes, sir—for her; she'll be along one of these days." "By Jove, you know!" I was almost dizzy with a sudden Idea. 1 fished out the jewel aad held it before my glass, *jaictlag doabtfully at it. I wondered *t it was good enough for "her>" ^ "I say, •„ BlUtngs," I murmured thoughtfully. "Blende* or brunettes, you know—which wear rubies?** "Both!" He said it with a kind of jaw, sa«t. "They wear anything in t h / j e w e l line they can freese on to." s "But which—M His size! By Jove, I had forgotten all about the item of size! I Just collapsed into a chair as he said good night, and sat there blinking in a regular stupefaction of horror as his door closed behind him. For he was devilish sensitive about his bulk, and I dared not say a word. CHAPTER X. A Nocturnal Intrusion, "Oh. but I say, it's impossible, you know!" And 1 stared at Jenkins incredulously. He grinned foolishly. "I know, sir; but he's in 'em, just the same, and 1 must say they do fit lovely—Just easylike." "By Jove!" I gasped helplessly. "Then the jolly things must be made of rubber, that's all! Why, look here, he weighs over three hundred pounds, you know!" i Jenkins' head wagged sagaciously. ( [ think that's'how it is, sir; it's wonderful what they do.with rubber now; my brother wears a rubber cloth bandage that ain't no bigger 'round than my arm when, it's off of him, and he—- m r n a n y utosaana i ( isui W B I C D - i "Dare say," I said sleepily as I ten ife**J*|'jsj04<«ohsfJy.

"Thank you, sir—and goodnight," he murmured. How long I slept I cannot tell, as they Bay in stories, you know; but 1 was brought jolly wide awake by a light that shone through the bedroom's open door. For if there's one thing will wake me quicker than everything else it's a light in the room at night. Fact is, I always want it as black as the what's-its-name cave, or else I can't sleep. And this light came from the small electric stand on the writing-desk. I could tell that by the way it shone. And just then the little silver gong in there chimed three. Jolly rum hour for anybody to be up unless they were having some fun or were sick. So I raised my head and called BOl'tly: "Jenkins—er—Billings!" No answer. Reluctantly I swung out and stepped within the next room. Not a soul there, by Jove! Then I moved over to Billings' door, which was wide open for coolnfiss, like my own. l could not see the shadowed alcove in which the bed was placed, and so I stood there hesitating, hating awfully to risk the pos-* sibllity of disturbing him, don't you know. And just then my eyes, ranging sleepily across the room toward the private hall, were startled by the apparition of an open doorway. Startled, all right! And yet, by Jove, I was iu such a jolly fog, I just stood there, nodding -and. hailing- at it for a full minute bei'ore I could take It in. "What I call devilish queer," I decided. I walked over and stuck my head out into the dark hall. "Hillings! Jenkins!" I whispered. Ily Jove, not a word! Everything as silent as the tomb! I didn't like it u bit—so mysterious, you know. Besides, dash it, the thing was getting me all waked up! I just know if once I got excited and thoroughly awake, it would take me nearly ten minutes to get to sleep again. And, by Jove, just then the excitement came, for I got hold of the fact :iftor \ had stared at it a while, that the door of my apartment opening Into the outer corridor was standing ajar. Why, dash it, it was not only standing, it was moving, Then suddenly the broad streak of light from the corridor widened under the impulse of a freshening breeze, and the door swung open witn, a bang. And then I heard my name spoken. Hy Jove, I had been standing there with my mouth open, bobbing my head like a silly dodo; but, give you my word, I was suddenly wide awake as a jolly owl wagon! Away down the corridor, by the mail chute, a man was standing, reading a framed placard. N^hlng particularly remarkable in this, but as the door banged he turned his head sharply and ejaculated: "Dammit! Now, that will wako Lightnut!" I was surprised, because I couldn't recall ever having seen him before; yet, standing as he did under the light, I had opportunity for a devilish good view. He was a heavy set old party, rather baldisb, with snowy mutton chops and a beefy complexion that was jolly well tanned below the hatband line, you know. The kind of old boy you size up as one of the prime feeder sort and fond of looking on the wine when It is Oporto red. Had something of the cut of the retired India colonels one sees abeut the Service clubs in London—straight as a lamp post still, but out of training and in devilish need of tapping—that., sort of duck, you know! What a respectable-looking old party might be up to, wandering around a bachelor apartment building at three In the morning, was none of my business. What's more, you know, I didn't care a jolly hang. But the thing that dashed me was that just as I moved toward the door to close it, he uttered my name again and came straight toward me as though to speak. So I had to wait, by Jove, for I couldn't close the door in his face. Awfulb* rotten thing to do—that, you knpw '•Vxist his floor and wants to inquire," I decided. And then as he toddled across the last yard and stopped before me, 1 saw that the old chap was in his night things—some darkish sort of pajamas. "By George!" he exclaimed with a leer that showed his almost toothless old gums. "Bet you never would guess what.I got « p for!" No, dash it, L didn't even care to try. I just coughed a little. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Getting Americanized. It does not take long for America's future citizens to adopt .American styles. He had just landed^at the Battery, and'was toiling ,ul> Broadway with his big canvas-covered tniiik upon his back. A bright orange tie set off bia crisp black locks, and a long, heavy ulster flapped at his heels. Hut, crowning glory of all—perched on hiB head, and toyed with by the biting winds that swept in from the sea, was a brand-new American atraw hat—a fitting crown for a citizen in a country where every man is a king.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING "When my baby was six months old, his body was completely covered with large sores that seemed to Itch and burn, and cause terrible suffering. The eruption began in pimples which would open and run, making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come off when I removed hla shirt. "We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend induced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment I used the Guticura Soap and Ointment but a short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks' time he was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although we had tried several other things, and doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Remedies will do all that is claimed for them,, and a great deal more." (Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont., Jan. 28, 1911.

A St. Louis dealer declared to a convention of egg and poultry men that "it Is the coldatorage men who insure cheap eggs instead of high-priced ones, as some legislators would have us -believe. Were it not for cold storage,, eggs would go to one dollar ^ dozen In winter, and in some places would be absolutely unobtainable, says the Omaha Bee. Of course, cold storage boosts the price occasionally In the summer; but if It did not, farmers in that season could not get more than two or three cents a dozen for their eggs." No doubt much of this 1B strikingly true. -. The cold-storage plant Is, indeed, a leveler of conditions, not only for eggs, but many other articles of produce, and, when properly conducted, with the purpose of serving natural needs and conditions, the cold storage becomes a moet valuable economic factor. The trouble is that it is not always so conducted. Its potential harm equals its potential good, and, unfortunately, eelflsh men have exploited this fact to their own advantage and the consumers', detriment It Is this mismanagement of the cold-storage system Itself against which remedial legislation is directed. ROUSED TO AGIN Government Is Stirred by the Titanic Disaster. SAFEGUARDS NOT ADEQUATE Conformity to American Regulations Probably Will Be Insisted on Hereafter— All Washington Mourns Death of Major Butt. A poor working man told his wife on awakening one morning of a curious dream he had during the night, relates the Marquette Tribune. He dreamed be saw coming toward blm, in order, four rats. The first one was very fat, and was followed by two very lean rats, the rear rat being blind. The dreamer was greatly perplexed as to what evil might follow; as it had been understood that to dream of rats denotes calamity. He appealed to his wife concerning this, but she could not^help him. His son, who beard the father tell the story, volunteered t o ' b e the Interpreter. "The fat rat," he said, "is the mail order firm which sells booze. The two lean rats are my mother and me, and the blind rat Is yourself."

Washington.—The disaster to the great Titanic has stirred the officials in Washington to action along a dozen different lines. It is expected that supervising Inspectors of steamships hereafter will pay less attention to regulations of safety laid down by foreign governments and will more rigidly enforce the American regulations. Moreover, while the Titanic struck an iceberg, it is probable that there will be still more careful search made of the seas to find derelict vessels which are a menace to navigation. As things stand now, the United States government allowB foreign vessels to come into the portB of this country provided their safeguards, such as lifeboats and other things, approach in numbers those demanded by the laws of this country. It is always taken for granted that the English government, for instance, has the welfare of its marine service at heart and that therefore Its regulations can be regarded by this country as safe. Government officials here believe that the English board of trade which regulates such matters thought that In the Titanic it had a boat which was unsinkable and that therefore it would be all right not to insist that there should be enough life boats to provide for all the passengers. Congress has been very much stirred uj) over the matter of lifeboats and other appliances by the disaster to the great steamship. The administration has felt a personal sense of loss because of the death of Major Archibald W. Butt, the White House aid, and this has added to its desire naturally that in the future lives should bo better safeguarded. The secretary of commerce and labor, Mr. N*agel. also has taken the—matter-ucwith his subordinates, and unquestionably representations will be made to the foreign officials who govern such matters that hereafter the regulations of the United States must be lived up to in every port. Many Derelicts Afloat. So far as the matter of derelicts is concerned, it Is known that nearly 400 of them are floating about the seas In various parts of the world, each one being a menace to navigation. floats are out all the time seking derelicts for the purpose of destroying them, but It seems that as fast as one is destroyed another takes its place, for vessels are always being deserted at sea by their crews when it seems that sinking is imminent. It is said that there never Is much of an increase in the number of derelicts, but It stays about the same year In and year out. The derelict is still as much of a menace to navigation as the Iceberg, and more of one because it is apt to get in the way of ships at every season of the year, while the icebergs are a danger ordinarily only for about six weeks. The ustial time of the icebergs' menace is In June, but this year they broke loose from their "moorings" much earlier than usual and appeared southeast of Cape Race utterly unexpectedly. Why Icebergs Appeared Early, It would seem that in these days of bighJy developed meteorological knowledge the presence of floating ice in the path of ocean steamships at an earlier date than usual ought to have been forecast The reason for their appearance early perhapB by some unthinking persons was taken In advance as a reason why they should appear late. ."The winter which has Just passed was an extraordinary severe one and it lasted a long time. The mere fact that there was a cold winter would make it appear that icebergs would stay fast until later in the season than usual, and so they did in the far north where they are usually formed. The trouble lay in the fact that the severity of the winter caused the bergs to form much further south than usual and so It was that when the first warm days of spring came the southern icebergs broke loose and floated out into the open long before those which had formed in the usual place were melted from their fastenings. Major Butt 8lnesrely Mourned. No one not a resident of the capital probably can appreciate the deep ense of sorrow felt here when .ew8 came that Maj. Archibald W. Butt, the president's personal aid, was among the passengers lost on the Titanic. President Taft had just seated himself in a box at the theater when the news came that his aid probably was amo&g those who went down with the ship. Ho Instantly left the theater, went to the White House and telegraphed steamship officials in New York for information asking that he be informed hourly day and night as long as there was the slightest hope for the major's safety. The employes of the White House were in a nervous condition which unfitted them for work during the days of uncertainty concerning "Archie's" fate. There was not a newspaper man in Washington who did not like and admire this major of the quartermaster's depart meat. Tho correspondents felt s personal affection for "Archie." as they all called Wm, ignoring his rank, for Butt waB one of the genial, sympathetic men who invite Uking, close comradeship and wholesome respect. At one time he was a newspaper correspondent iu the capital. This was prior to the days of the Spanish war. When war came he received a commission and went to the front and afterward was given a commissioned rank in the quartermaster's department. His birthplace was Georgia. There are hundreds of ctorieu told of Archibald W. Hutt during his stay in Washington. President Roosevelt chose him for a personal aid, and it was expected that when President Taft came In some other officer would succeed him, but Mr. Taft knew the captain and asked him to act in the same capacity during the present administration. Hntt was a part of Washington official and social life for years, and he bore every burden well and conducted himself with infinite tact and judgment. Did Trying Work Well. One of tho major's duties was to introduce at the great public and semipublic receptions and at the dinners and banquets given to and by the president the guests who filed by to shake tbevhand of the chief executive. It may seem that this would be no particularly arduous job, but it iB one of the most trying things which a president's aid has to do. As the Quests approach the president the one who 1» nearest whispers his name to the introducing officer. Names, as everybody knows, are the hardest things in the world to catch properly, and then there are men conceited enough to suppose that their faces ought to be known and that therefore only perfunctory mention of the name is necessary. Major Butt almost Invariably caught the muttered name correctly and transmitted it just as correctly to the president. There never was any trouble with the major's enunciation. The most peculiar foregn names were spoken fluently and clearly, and this thing in itself made Major Butt invaluable, because if the president had made a mistake himself in addressing a hanshaker the guest, as is always the case, would have felt hurt and humiliated. The kindness of Archibald Butt was shown In a thousand ways. There Is a great army and navy reception given at the White House every year. The persons eligible for invitation are ^S.cei^LjolJhje_aj^iiy^-Jia.vy-jin4-ma44fiecorps, both active and retired, and all the National Guard of the District of Columbia. The army and navy lists carry the names of all the officers who have a right to be Invited, but Archie Butt was not satisfied with these lists. He knew that living in Washington were men who had served their country in army and navy as officers, but who cither had resigned from the service or had been mustered out at the close of hostilities. He took it into his hands to look up as many of these officers as he could and to gratify them with the president's approval, of course, with invitations to the army and navy reception. Still Suspicious About Alaska. Congress lias before it a bill to grant home rule to Alaska. It seems to be entirely probable that it will pass the house. It makes provisions for an Alaska legislature, each member of which will be paid $20 a day. This seems tov be a good sum of money for the daily service of a legislator when the ordinary pay of like officials of the various states is considered, but things are high in Alaska and travel is expensive and moreover, if it is not wicked to suggest it, it may be that when a man is well paid he ia above yielding to besetting temptations. Alaska has not had much done for it at this session of congress, notwithstanding the tact that there has been so much suggested in the way of legislation. Just what is to be done in the matter of subsidizing a government railroad In Alaska does not ye*t appear. There are still ail kinds ot conflicting interests at work in the matter of the northwestern territory. Suspicion la still rite and If one makes a move another man says that he is headed straight to the- road of graft and the man accused retorts in kind. Alaska is stil; "the Land t)f Suspicion." Wants Three Cent Piece Coined. Representative H. J. Bulkiey of Ohio, a member of the house committee on banking and currency, has introduced a bill to authorize the coinage of a three cent piece. .Men whose memories cast a shadow twenty years long remember the old three cent piece made out of nickel. It resembled the silver dime so much that ignorant persons constantly were cheated out of seven cents when it was given to them in change by unscrupulous persons. It was the fact that the three cent piece was so much like the sliver dime in general appearance that led to the discontinuance of its coinage. Mr. Bulkiey intendB that nobody shall be deceived by the three cent piece if his bill authorizing its coinage becomes a law. He has inserted in his measure a provision that the coin shall be perforated in the center, the operation making it look like a Chinese piece and obviating any pos. sibility that it can be taken for a silver dime. If the three cent piece is to be coined it will be made of 75 per cent copper and 25 per cent nickel. Uenton Harbor.—Bessie Mills died here as the result of taking carbolic acid with suicidal intent. Bernard Lavelle, her lover, occupies* a cell in the city jail, awaiting the investigation which the coroner and police have begun. The girl, who was twenty years old, told her mother that she had declared Lavalle had forced the promise-from her at the point of a revolver. Houghton.—An infant daughter of John Kaiser of Rockland was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the home. A five-year-old daughter was rescued', but was burned so that death is expected. The two children were alone in the house when the fire Btarted. Pontiac—The second suit against the D. U. R. for damages for personal injuries WHS discontinued in the circuit court after a 35-minute recess in which a settlement was reached. Harmon H. How, administrator of the estate of Rollin E. Lee. was allowed between $7,000 and $8,000 for Lee's death. JLee lived at Oxford and traveled for a Detroit, wholesale house. He was a passenger on a limited car wrecked near Rochester last October and was instantly killed. Mount Clemens.—Finding of bruises on the body of John Greenop, a clothing merchant of Belding, after hia death at Fountain hotel sent the sheriff and coroner to Detroit in search of a negro who arrived with Greenop from Windsor, Ont., and left the following day. Greenop died without telling how he received his injuries. A telephone call inquiring as to the condition of Greenop was received from Detroit shortly before the man died. Allegan.—Justice D. C Wachs of Grand Haven was placed upon the stand in the Ottawa county conspiracy case. His testimony was identical with that of Hoyt's. Bills presented to the supervisors by ex- Sheriff Andre and Deputy Klaver, the defendants, were read in court. In many instances the allegations of the proseriitinn that two hilln wrro pry Defined. "You don't know the difference between an apiary and an aviary." "Indeed 1 do, then!'' "What is It?" "An apiary is where they keep apes and an aviary is whero they keep airships." • sen ted for the same day's pay were substantiated. Ann Arbor,—Photographs are being made nightly at the U. of M, observatory of the new star which was discovered a few weeks ago by Enfho, the European astronomer. A study being made of this particular star shows that it is following certain successive conditions like other new stars. It is receding from the stellar stage to the nebular type, being now about the sixth magnitude and barely visible to the naked eye. Port Huron. — Medical testimony was heard in the trial of George Esson, charged with the murder of Thomas Major. It became evident the defense would try to show that Major's death was due to natural causes. Major was state chemist. Detroit.—"In addition to an elaborate proposal for the drainage of thousands of acres of swamp and low lands, fne national drainage congress at its meeting this month will take up the matter of ridding the tracts of mosquitoes," said H. L. Davey. "The success of the government in ridding the Panama canal zone of these pests shows what we can do, and eventually the mosquito will have to find another home than the Mississippi valley." Ionia.—The Ionia _ high school graduates- this year * will go on the economy plan and have decided to wear cap and gown and do away with the usual expensive dresses. AB there are H girls and but two boys, the girls had their own way about adopting the costumes. It will be the first time cap and gown has ever been worn in an Ionia commencement. The color will be gray. Ypsilanti.—Charles A. Smith, saloonkeeper, was arrested on complaint of Clauso» M. Davis at the Instigation of Prosecuting Attorney George J. Burke, charging him with keeping his saloon openr Sunday. Smith demanded an examination which was set for April 25. He gave bail in the sum of $200 for his appearance. Plymouth.—A fanner named Ded: rich, living a few miles from here, is suffering with two fractured ribs and other injuries; Earl Peck is badly bruised and cut, and Arthur Ray, a boy, has a broken left arm as the result of a runaway here. Dedrich was moving Peck's househo\d goods when his team was frightened by the shriek of factory whistles and became unmanageable. The wagon was overturned and the two men and boy were hurled violently to the pavement. Grand Rapids.—Standing beside the deathbed of their little daughter, Dorothy, John and Agnes Vanderveen, recently divorced, plighted their troth" anew. Vanderveen, a prosperous grocer, secured a decree some time ago. He went to a distant part of the city. His only daughter, living with her mother, sank into death's shadow. Friends of the family notified the father. As the silent messenger entered the home, the con* pie embraced over the form of their daughter and began life anew. They will be re wed. Titanic 'Bodies Seen on iceDcrg. Officers of the North German Lloyd liner Princess Irene told of a wireless message which thex.^ifcterT^ejrWd Jp which a ship -the name not learned— reported Thai ia, passing r>0T m^ea from the scene of ^he Titanic disaster, she had eiighte'd an iceberg on which were the bodies of more thau a dozen men. All wore life belts and the bodies were huddled in groups at the base of the berg. It was the opinion of officers of the ship that the men had climbed on the mass «f ice and had frozen to death as they were swept southward. No attempt waH made to take oft the bodies. Find Bodies of Three Noted Victims. The bodies of Col. John Jacob Astor and Isidor Straus, the millionaire merchant of New York, who lost their lives in the Titanic disaster, have been recovered and are on board the cable ship Mackay-Bennett. Cleveland, O., lias set a price of one cent upon the herd of every ten dead Mies delivered at the city hall and the children are reaping a harvest. THE MARKETS.

A prisoner was being tried in an English court for murder; evidence against him purely circumstantial; part of it a hat found near the scene of the crime—an ordinary, round, black hat, but sworn to as the prisoner's. Counsel for the defense, of course, made much of the commonness of the bat. "You, gentlemen, no doubt each of you, possess such a hat, of the most ordinary shape and make. Beware how you condemn a Jellowciealure to a shameful death on such a piece of evidence," and so on, So the man was acquitted. Just as hi? was leaving tbe dock, with the most touching humility and -simplicity, he said: "If you please, my lord, may I •avc my Jat?" In the Chase.

The coffee drinker seldom realizes that coffee contains the drug, caffeine, a severe poison to the heart and nerves, causing many forms of disease, noticeably dyspepsia. "I was a lover of coffee and used it for many years, and did not realize tbe bad effects I was buffering from its use. (Tea is just as Injurious as cof« fee because it, too, contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "At first I was troubled with indigestion. I did not attribute the trouble to the use of coffee, but thought it arose from other causes. With these attacks I had sick headache, nausea and vomiting. Finally rny stomach was in such a condition I could scarcely retain any food. "I consulted a physician; was told all my troubles came from indigestion, but was not informed what caused the indgestlon. I kept on with the coffee, and fiept on with the troubles, too, and my case continued to grow worse from year to year until it developed Into chronic diarrhea, nausea and severe attacks of vomiting. I could keep nothing; on my stomach and became a mere shadow, reduced from 159 to 128 pounds. "A specialist informed me I had a very severe case of catarrh of the stomach, which had got so bad he could do nothing for me, and I became convinced my days were numbered. "Then I chanced to see an article setting forth the good qualities of Postum and explaining how coffee injured people so I concluded to give Postum a. trial. I soon saw the good effects—my headaches were less frequent, nausea and vomiting only t a m e on at long Intervals and I was soon a changed man, feeling much better. < • > "Then I thought I could'stand coffee again, but as soon as I tried it my old troubles returned and I again turned to Postum. Would you believe it, I did thisQithree times befor* I had sense enough to quit coffee for good and keep on with the Postum. I am now a well man with no more headaches, ajck stomach or vomiting, and have already gained back to 147 pounds." Name given by Postum Co., Battla Battle Creek, Mich.

'• Nearly all the new bows are quite unlike the simpler forms of ribbon trimmings which We have had in the past. There is a liking for fanciful forms, and ribbons are made up into ornamental pieces ready for mounting on hat shapes just as feathers and flowers are. They are more generally used than ever, and that is saying much, but designers having taken up the idea of making new and strange ribbon decorations, have found them widely useful, taking the place of other trimmings on many hats. Ribbons also are elaborated in themselves; changeable and two-toned colorings, pin-stripes, wide stripes and checks, and many bordered designs are Bhown. Then there are the flowered ribbons and those that are flowered and bordered. Sometimes a piece will combine a number of these foundation until it is covered. Fans and wings of buckram are covered with ribbon laid on flat at one side and in side plaits to the other. Larger disks Ave inches in diameter are slashed in four places about their circumference, to the depth of three incheB. Hy overlapping the slashed edges and sewing them together a form is made with a raised center. It looks like the top of a large "toadstool." Narrow ribbon is gathered into full ruffles and sewed to such foundations. The finished rosettes look like hugh full blown roses. A large ring of buckram, five Inches across, has a circle two inches or a little more, in diameter cut from the center. A wide ribbon with a border Is laid in side plaits and sewed to the buckram ring. Four loops supported by ribbon wire, which is caught to the under side by stitches, are thrust through the opening at the center and ends of ribbon falling from the back of this ornament are to be used to drape about the crown of a hat. Three shades of the same color (as brown or blue) are used in a pretty standing ornament, and similar ornaments are made of two shades, light and dark. Stiff taffeta ribbon is used for this ornament and does not need to be wired. The ribbon is cut into nine-inch lengths and one end of each length is trimmed into a sharp point. The straight end is laid in plaits and sewed to an oblong foundation of buckram. This buckram piece should be two inches wide and four long. The lightest ends are sewed first, then just below them the next darker shade, and finally the darkest shade. The bottom of the buckram is covered with pieces of the two darker shades shirred in fine tucks very close together. This finishes the decorations. These handsome ribbon ornaments maTce^'sufflcTentrtriimnlmj for-strecthats. Since shapes may be bought ready faced they may be effectively trimmed with ribbon ornaments at home. DAINTY THINGS FOR BEDROOM Simple and Fresh-Looking Accessories Are the Most Appropriate, and Easily Supplied. features, being at the same time changeable in color, having both a flowered and striped ground and edged with a. border. It goes without saying almost that such elaboration in the ribbon precludes the use of any other trimming with it. Rosettes and cockades (that is stiff up-standing designs) lead in popular favor for trimmings, and the two are often combined in one piece. Buckram is used as a foundation in making these new decorations, and fine wire supports loops that must stand up. A disk of buckram three inches in diameter la about the average size used for rosettes. Ribbon is laid in side plaits and sewed in rows to this SEWING HELP OF REAL VALUE "Scrapbag Attached to the Machine ts an Accessory One Cannot Afford ; to Be Without. The woman who uses a sewing machine will do well to make herself a goetVslsed bag, that.-can be attached to £he side frame of the machine and used to collect all scraps and bits of thread left from the sewing. Select an embroidery hoop 8 inches in diameter and cretonne 16 inches long and 14 inches wide. Sew the ends and one side together and turn the edge of the other side over the hoop and run a gathering thread in the hem thus formed. .When finished draw up the thread the size of the i hoop and catch it tight. This will make a bag that is gathered on to the hoop, and is amply full In body to hold a goodly number of scrap* before it is'necessary to empty. Another sewing help is to have a pattern bag hung back of the machine. Make inside pockets to this hag, In which you can keep the patterns belonging to the different members of the family. Have also two extra pocketa that hold patterns of fancy aprons, bags or drew accessories. ' A deal of time and strength can be saved in the hunting of patterns and picking up bits off the floor if your machine la equipped with these two bandy bags. - In Vivid Colors, Hand embroidery done in vivid col* .ors. will be placed upon a white background of faille or moire silk, and then used aa collar- and cuffa -for tailored *dresae#.-~New York Herald! Dainty bedroom accessories in the way of curtains, bedspreads, bureau and dresser scarfs can be easily made at small cost, of striped or checked gingham. Blue-and-white is a clean color to select. For Ihe bedspread use coarse white lace InRertlou about an inch and a halt wide to join the breadths together down the center, and also to place at the heading of a ruffle eight inches wide that is placed on each side and across the bottom of the spread. t The window curtains are made perfectly plain, excepting for a ruffle across the end headed with insertion. A deep valance across the top is edged with a narrow ruffle also. With a blue-and-white cotton rug on the floor this makes a most attractive room for a young girl. Gingham is very inexpensive and launders beautifully. Bread as a Cleanser. Soldiers use a crust of bread often to clean the white stripes of their trousers.

' Recorded Study of FoooVElcrncnts is Best V a y for Housewife to Avoid Errors. Every housekeeper Bhould be perfectly familiar with the three food products. This is the foundation of menu-making. Proteids, carbohydrates and fats are the three divisions into which all foods are classed. Proteids are the muscle-builders and are found in meat, beans, peas, eggs and nuts. Carbohydrates are the starches and are found in cereals, sugar and starchy foods. These foods produce fat and energy. Fats, such as oils, butter, lard, etc., give heat to the body. A general knowledge of these food properties as they are found In various foods underlies successful cooking as well as menu-making. A good menu is a well-balanced menu in regard to these three food principles. A practical study of these foods Is the best way to avoid orrors In diet. Do not serve several foods of the same composition at the same meal, such as potatoes, rice and macaroni. Do not serve bean or pea soup with roast meat, salmon salad and custard. Try to vary the regular diet. If a heavy meal is served use a light, easily digested dessert. Do not eat too much food out of season. It is expensive. If meat is left out of the dinner menu, plan to serve soup made of peas, nuts or beans and a dessert made of eggs. To avoid serving several fcods of the same composition have in mind small gronps of foods alike in composition. The first and most important group to consider is that of proteid food: Group one—meats, cheese, eggs, nuts, dried peas, beans. Any of these foods can be used for meat, or if nuts, beans or peas are used for a puree, meat can safely be left out of the menu. For every meal select food from each of the groups mentioned—proteid, carbohydrates, fats. Add to this some fresh fruit oi vegetable three times daily and a good beginning will be made toward producing a balanced menu.—Woman's World.

They look well on a dinner table and commend themselves because of novelty. The housekeeper of today is always looking for something new. It is her pride and her delight to set an original table and have something that interests her guests as well as the food does. These little casseroles can be served at any meal. It is not necessary to keep them for a dinner entree. Shirred eggs go in them for breakfast and macaroni with cheese for luncheon. Copper Casseroles. Among the novelties for the xabte are tiny mmvlduarccrpW^^ Strong and Straight. thinning. They are from photographs taken by A. F. Hawes, state forester of Connecticut. In Fig. 1 the trees in the center of the group are strong and straight, but the smaller ones form a mass of foliage, the removal of which helped the others. This is shown by the trees in Fig. 2. The trees left standing are now exposed to the lfght and free from the sapping by the mass of foliage and small trees which have been removed and will grow into strong, tall trees.

The "group method" ts generally tho host adopted for farm woodlots. Select a spot, or several spots, if one will not supply what is wanted, where the forest crop is ripest—possibly overripe— and clear, with due care for young growth, a hole in the forest, taking care that the diameter of this hole is not more than two or three times the height of the surrounding trees. Gradually widen these holes by cutting in concentric rings about them until tho whole area has been cut over. It should be borne in mind, however, that if in any one year more wood is A Mass of Foliage. cut than grows on the whole woodlot in that year the necessary wood capital iadlminishecL . Where the whole area Is cut over before the part cut first had time to grow to maturity a period will have to follow during which the woodlot will stop paying dividends.

This will frost two cakes* A successful West Virginia raspberry grower gives the following reasons for mulching: It prevents the growth of weeds. It retains moisture in the soil. It adds humus, one of the necessary elements. It keeps the fruit clean and prevents mud at picking time. It saves labor, the cost of mulching an acre with forest leaves or straw not exceeding $15. It prevents deep freezing. It makes the fruit more solid for cultivation and better for shipping purposes. It prevents the baking of the soil caused by tramping at picking time. It has the disadvantage of encouraging mice and establishing a surface root system. However, we hare not noticed any serious damage from either of these effects. The cost of growing-raspberries by nature's method, as I like to call it, is not very great. Picking la a nice job where there Is no mad, no weeds snd where the canes have' been properly pruned.

Plant the sweet peas early in trenches fully six inches deep, covering but lightly at first, drawing the soil around the plants as they reach up. This will give better roots by which to withstanding the dry heat by and by. Plant as soon as possible. Root room in fair soil is all the beautiful white Day Lily asks. It is perfectly hardy, likes moist situations, but will do with little water. A plant for the busy housewife. Chrysanthemums may be raised from seeds or from cuttings and sprouts from old roots. If the seeds are sown early in boxes and transplanted the plants will bloom the first year. There may be many poor one.s from seed. Do not forget the hardy everhlouming roses when ordering. Includo some hardy ffowering vines for screens for the porches, back fences and summer arbors. Prairie rosea, evergreen honeysuckles, woodbines, clematis in variety, wistarias, bittersweet, trumpet vine and the harmless wood ivies are all fine. ATTENTION FOR YOUNG TREES Ground Should Be Ferked Up and Well Mellowed and T h e n Covered T w o Inches with Manure. Spring-planted fruit and ornamental trees and bushes should1 have the ground forked up and well mellowed and then covered two Inches deep with long manure, straw, corn stalks, rotted leaves, w«eda or freshly cut grass. This mulch will keep the soil cool and moist. It the summer Is hot and dry give to each tree ooe or two buckets of water. Apply the water late In the evening, spread it slowly around the trunk of tree so it can reach the roots. If the water is dashed against the stem most of it will run off the hard ground and it will be of little beneiit to the tree. Garden Cart and Wheelbarrow. On an average fully one-half crt the trees that die the first summer could have been saved had they been properly mulched and given a little water when needed. Young trees planted in exposed positions, where they are liable.to heavy wind and rainstorms, should be staked and tho trees tied to the stakes with a rye straw or canvas band. An old sail cut into strips makes excellent bands. To keep the roots from belnu loosened, where ground is soft, place four or live large stones on top of tho mulch clooe up to the stem of tree. Two of the most handy implements on tho farm for general, all-around work, are the old-fashioned wheelbarrow and throe-wheeled cart. Ready for Young Trees. While the stock is coming, prepare the ground. It will not be necessary to add new soil as the trees have been selected with reference to the kind found where they are to bo planted. Dig very large holes and fill them in. Tho trees always do better in tilled ground than they do in that which has not been broken up. If the land is sod, it would be well to plow tho entire strip, as grass Is a great enemy to newly planted things. When the trees arrive, take them at once to some friable land near whore they are to be planted and heel them in. Nursery stock is often Injured by being kept too long in boxes. After the plants are heeled in it will be safe to transplant them to permanent places any time within a week or ten days from the lime of their arrival. Evergreens ought to be planted as early as possible. When buds begin to swell the time is right to top-graft. Prune sparingly and a little every year, is the best plan. Just as soon now as frost is out, the ground will be ready for tree planting. In that order for fruit trees, you can't go wrong by putting in a few Jonathan apples. The era of the haphazard and careless horticulturist and agriculturist haa passed away. For orchard spraying a three-eighths or half-inch hose is best, and In lengths of GO feet. Soil for strawberries should be a deep, rich loam, capable of holding a good deal of moisture. It Is not. a good plan to plant trees while the ground is wet and soggy. Let It dry out a little. Don't get the idea that you cannot obtain satisfactory results from spraying Just because your neighbor failed. Be sure that all of your hose couplings are of the same size so that any two lengths may be coupled together. Any tendency to fancy.shaped flower beds and fancy flower stands and such grlmcracks should be firmly suppressed. Do not. expect satisfaction from bordeaux mixture that has stood for as much as 24 hours. It deteriorates quickly. JWhjsn done spraying each day, run some clean water through toe pump, to wash oat the spray mixture and srold corroslotf ot the working parts.

Mrs. Bflriic! Hinchey Mary Elizabeth Doane was born in the township of Waterloo, Ingham county, Mich., January 2, 1845, and departed this life, April 26th, 1912, leaving to mourn cheir loss, her children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and a host of other relatives and friends. At the age of 19, she was married to Burdick Hinchey and to this union were born 11 children, 9 of whom are living: Mrs. Belle Nolan and Mrs. Clarinda Zink of Flint; Mrs. Nellie Reule of Owosso; Mrs. Laura Smith of Dilke, Sascathewan; John, Frank, Orla and Glenn of Pinckney and Percy of Perry, Mich. Two of her children having died: Gladys in 1878 and Harriet in 1898, and her husband following in 1908. Although not a member of any church, she led an exemplary Christian life, a life of patience, fortitude and devotion. Her illness was of short duration and she passed away surrounded by all of her children except Laura whom it was impossible to reach. All that loving hands and tender care could do was of no avail; her work in this life was finished and she went to join her loved ones in Heaven. "A TRIBUTE TO OUR MOTHER" "The dearest, truest, fondest Dame, All the world gives her that fame. She it was that gave you birth, From her life you took your worth.

Hinchey County Base Ball Leape A move is on foot to organize a county base ball league to be made up of Fowlerville,Brighton, Pinckney, Gregory and Howell. There has never been a time when more base ball enthusiam was manifested than right now. With all the excellent material available, in not only the towns contemplated, but in two or three other communities in this county, it should not be necessary to wait until the Fowlerville fair to spend a week's pay in going down to Detroit in order to see a game of ball and so work off the accumulation of base ball fever. With a six team league it would be possible to play a game in each town once a week; or the schedule could be arranged to provide a game in each of six towns every other week. If the promotors can figure on paying expenses it will be tried out. Other country papers are invited to express themselves on the subject.—Livingston Republican. It seems like a good thing and we have no doubt but that the towns named would give it their hearty support How's This? We offer $100.

We seem to have a pretty good illustration of the delay of getting a case to trial right here in Livingston county. The very first of the year a whiskey club was raided at Howell and the parties were found red handed with the goods. Edward Scully and Louis Brayton were arrested for running an illegal joint The examination of these parties before the local justice went through the usual adjournments, but after the lapse of time they were bound over to the circuit court for trial. It now transpires that the case was called in this term of court and was adjourned to the next session of court which convenes in June, but as io jury is drawn for that term, the case can not be tried until the October term of court. We do not know who is responsible for thislietay of nlne^mbntBs befox*4hia simple little case can ^ Jae/'orougHt to trial in the circuit, but to the\ mind of the layman there can be\ no reasonable reason for such demy. It is absolutely unjust to both sides in the suit. If they are innocent they should not be held in jeopardy and under • cloud of suspicion during the length of time and if they are guilty they should have been punished and brought to trial for their offence of breaking the law. This kind of thing is what disgusts many people and brings a general disrespect and contempt for all law and discontents the public with courts in general and which leads so many people to to voice their discontent in words that are neither respectful or complimentary.—Fowlerville Review, Motion Pictnre Show At the Pinckney opera house Friday, April 26 at 8 o\jlock the Princess Amusement Go. of Chelsea will present "Before Yorktown," a two reel two thousand foot thrilling story of the Revolutionary War, four other pictures and three high class illustrated songs.

Gather eggs once daily during ordinary times and twice daily during hot or rainy weather. In summer place eggs as soon as gathered in a cool dry room which is free from odors. Don't sell eggs which were found in a stolen nest Market eggs frequently; twice each week at least and daily if possible. Don't sell eggs which have been in an incubator.

Jenkins tells Lightnut of the encounter he had with a hideous <-•runaman dressed in pajamas. In a message from his friend, Jack Billings. Mghtnut Is asked to put up "the kid" for tin- night on his way hume from college. Later Liglitnut ttnds a beautiful girl in black pajamas In his room. Lightnut is shocked by thn girl's drinking, smoking and slangy talk. She tells him her name is Francis and puzzles hint with a story of her love for tier sister's room-mate, named Frances. Next morning the girl is missing and Ltghtnut hurries to the boat to see her off. He Is accosted by a husky college boy, who calls him "Dicky," but he does not seo the girl. CHAPTER V I I I . Her Brother Jack. "Good night, Dicky!" came up the elevator shaft. And then more "good nights," growing fainter with their laughter as the car shot down. "Good night." I called after them. "Devilish sorry you fellows won't stay longer!" "Jolly good lie, Jenkins," 1 said, yawning sleepily, aB I dropped back into my own apartment. "Yes, sir," assented Jenkins demurely. "It's sleeping on the divan the othor night, sir. Eight hours there ain't nothing like eight hours in bed and in your pajamas." --"P-ajamaBl-'-JLeia^ulajtejdxjLtarti£CL For all day I had been thinking of her. I wondered if Billings would hap. pen to invite me up tor the week end. Jiut he had so many times, and I had never gone. "By Jove, that reminds me," I said. "Those red silk pajamas!" "Yes, sir." Jenkins' lace hardened in an odd, wooden way, "I was wondering, Jenkins, if those pajamas were torn any in our little row the other night." Poor Jenkins winced a little. "I think not, pir," he muttered humbly— "leastwise, they were all right last night when Mr.—" lie seemed to catch himself abruptly. "I mean when 1 found them this morning, sir.'' He returned with the garments I had received from Mastermann, and again we spread them under the lamp on the table. They looked singularly smooth and unwrinkled. There was not a single tear or break, not even with the delicate cords that twisted to form the frogs of the seat. "My, sir! But ain't they redr' breathed Jenkins. "Them cords look like little red snakes." I cut an anxious glance at Jenkins, for I did not like his reference to snakes. Seemed ominous, somehow, But his appearance was composed and reassuring. And, by Jove, come to look, the cords did look just like tiny, colled serpents of glowing tire. Why, they were so jolly red they hurt your eyes. Pact! And thin as the beautiful stuff was, tbjs brighter red ran aTl over the other, covering every inch of 1t and forming the closest, finest what-you-call-lt embroidery. It was as faint and dainty a pattern as that on a soap bubble! Fact is, I could not trace it, even, with my glass. The only part that wasn't covered with this embroidery business was the stuff used to cover the knots, or little balls, over which the cords were meant to hook. In working with some of these cords, idly fastening and unfastening them, I got a little impatient with one that seemed Vght, you know, and I used my manicure knife to pull the knot through. "Careful, air," warned Jenkins. "Likely to ait something." By- Jove? No sooner said, than 1 did it! The dashed blade slipped somehow and cut into the threads that tied the covers or caps or Whatever-you-call- 'ems, over the .knots. And when 1 pulled, the beastly piece of silk came off in my lingers. And then—oh, but I say! I Just gave a sort of yell and dropped the whole thing! Ever have some silly ass try to scare yotf by poking a red hot cigar at you 1ft the dark? Know how you jerk back? Well, there you arc! For, give you my word, when I peeled off the little cloth cap, regular blazes of crimson fire seemed to shoot from the end of the knot. Fact is, it wasn't a knot at all, but a button—a devilish glassy button, something bigger than a dime, perhaps, and tblck;aa the end of your little finger. And there it lay against the silk, burning its way through It. like a red coal ot hie. And it waa jutt then tht-t Billings rolled i n / " 1 say "rolfed, in," became it always looks thit way! that's the way Billings is built, you know.

Got home all right, I understand." He plunked like a jolly elephant into the largest and most comfortable chair in the room and wheezed for breath. "And, Jenkins!" l i e raised one fat finger while he took a gasp. "Don't mind if I do have a package or Dicky's Koroskos and a sloe fizz—not too sweet, you know; and you may—" Billings broke off suddenly. Then he climbed heavily to his feet, and without warning, heaved himself across the room and seized the button I had just uncovered. Dashed if he didn't almost upset me. "Here, I say!" I protested. "Don't lose that cap." I picked it up from where ho had jerked it to the floor. "It's the cover to hide that glass, you know." "Wh-a-a-t!" Billings swung round, staring at me ( with the most curious expression. "See here, Dicky," he exclaimed rather excitedly, but in a low tone, as he cut a side glance at Jenkins siphoning the fizz over at the cellarette. "What in thunder have you been doing now?" By Jove, I turned cold for a minute, I was that startled. I thought he was going to use the -pajamas as an introduction for reference to last night. But in a minute I saw that he did not mean that. "Where on earth did you get anything like this?" ."Oh, I say now!'' I_.remonstr;aled, alarm changing to a mild dudgeon, Billings' devilish rude manners are so offensive at times. "What do you mean? It's a present from a friend in China." "Present!" Bllllng6' eyes bulged queorly. He stooped toward me, whispering: "Did he know what this button was?" "Why, of course he didn't," I answered indignantly. "Never dreamed of It, of course. I tell you, it was all nicely covered, was what-you-call-lt— upholstered, you know—with devilish nice silk. I cut. it off accidentally, trying to force the thing through that loop. That left the marble exposed" —Bllllngij tuok ihu glass mechanically from the tray tendered by Jenkins and sipped it slowly, eying me curiously over the top. Then he set it back, very deliberately, wiped his mouth with the bit of napery, and without taking his glance from me, waited until Jenkins had left the room. Whereupon, after another searching look at the button, he dropped it with the garment upon the table, and with hands jammed deep in his pockets, faced me with a long-drawn whistle. "Well. I'll be hanged!" he exclaimed. Just a coarse, vulgar outburst, you know—no sense to it; no point at all, you know—that's Billings. He caught upjthe coat again. "And these others—four of them—are they just the same?" he demanded sharply. "Dash it, how Bhould I know? I suppose so," I answered indifferently. And l closed my eyes and leaned back, feeling a bit—Just a bit—weary. Some. how« Billings is always so exhausting when he gets started on something. "Oh, cut it out, old chap," I protested, drowsy-like. "I will," I heard him say. Then 1 guess I must have dropped off a bit, for the next thing I knew he was shaking me. "Dicky! Dicky! Say, look here! Look, I tell you!" I did look, and—well, I was Jolly vexed, that's all. "Oh, I say now!" I spoke severely— Just that way, you know. I went on, remonstrating: "Devilish silly joke, it you ask me. You've gone and ruined the thing, Billings! Flashy buttons like that, you know—too tawdry, too cheap." "Cheap!" Ho almost shouted It. Then he leaned over the back of the leather chair and pounded his fat hea4, against the cushions, writhing his big bulk from side to side. "Quite impossible," I said firmly. "Not en regie at all, you know!" And I fixed my glass and stared gloomily at the things. The five shiny buttons just lay there against the delicate silk like BO many fiery crimson cher-' rles. He leered at me, chuckling. "Look cheap to you, eh? What you might call outre, so to speak?" "By Jove, of course," I answered ruefully. "I can't sleep in the things now, you know. What would people* say?" Billings stared at me disagreeably a moment and said something under his breath. Then he caught up the buttons and the silk, and crushing them in his h&ids, burled his face in the mass. "Oh you beauties, you darlings!" 1 heard him murmur. Then he looked at the buttons again, and dash It. he kissed me. Maudlin—Jolly maudlin, I aay, if you ask me1! "I say, Dicky," he said carelessly. "You may not care for them, but I've taken rather a shine to thejse buttons. Mind letting me have one, eh?" He flashed, a Quick glance at me and then away. "Mind? Why, certainly not; take 'em all, old chap, and welcome." Yet I responded gloomily enough, scarcely polite, you know. And I felt too Jolly prostrated to be curious as to what he could possibly want with the things. Waistcoat buttons, likely— Billings was given to loud dress and other bounder stunts. But he just sat there looking down after I spoke, and presently stole a queer glance at me. He suddenly held up the row of red buttons again. "Look here, you blessed dodo," he exclaimed brusquely. "Have you really no idea w*hat these are, these glass buttons you are yapping about? Of course you haven't, you jolly chowder head, but I'm going to tell you." Ho threw the coat Into my lap. "They are rubies, old man, that's ail," he said quietly. "Oriental rubies, at that—flawless and perfect—the rarest and most precious things in the world." CHAPTER IX. An Amazing Revelation, I stared blankly at Billings. "Rubies!" I gasped. He nodded. "Genuine pigeon bloods, my son, no less." "Oh, come now, Billings," I protested. I felt a little miffed, just a little you know. So jolly raw to try it on that way. I "By Jove, old chap, you must think me a common ass," I suggested disgustedly. Billings grinned at the very idea, "You a common ass, Dicky?" he ejaculated ''Xobody who—knows-you would ever think that, old man." "But, I say—" "See here, Dicky boy, I'm in dead earnest," he interrupted eagerly. "Don't you/ remember my one fad— gems? Got enough tied up in them to build two apartment houses as big as this, Best amateur collection in New York, if I do say it. But I haven't anything like one of these rubies, and neither has anyone else—-:iio one else in this country, anyhow. There's nothing like them in all New York, from Tiffany's down to Maiden Lane, and never has been. I never saw anything like—near like any of them— except the one in the Russian crown of Anna ivanovana. That's bigger, but it hasn't the same fire." ies your friend has sent you are awfully rare and old; and for delicate, dainty elegance and that sort of thing they've got everything else in the silk way shoved off the clothes-line. But as to these jewelB, ybucan just bet all you've got that whoever passed them on was not wise to them being under these covers," Here he got to looking at one of the buttons and murmuring his admiration— regular trance, you know. "By Jove!" I remarked, just to stir him up a bit. And he unloaded a great funnel of smoke and continued: "My theory is that during some danger, some mandarins' war, likely, somebody got cold feet about these jewels and roped them in with these bits of silk—see how different they are from the rest of the stuff! Then, when the roughhouse came, these pajamas were swept along in the sacking— sort of spoils of pillage, you know. It was a clever method of concealment— clever because simpler—a hiding place unlikely to be thought of because right under the eye. You recall Poe's story of 'The Purloined Letter?'" I asked Billings how much he thought one of the rubles was worth. I had in mind how devilish hungrily he had looked at them. But he sighed, then' frowned and answ-erecLimpatient. ly: "That's it! That's the trouble about all the rare and beautiful things of this life! Always some debasing, prohibitiv-e_aor did-money A'alue^dammit!" He squinted at the stones again and let the weight of one rest upon his finger. He shook his head, sighing. "Well, they're over twenty carats each, and therefore, of course, many times the value of first water diamonds. After you get above five carats with real Oriental rubies, diamonds are not in it." With an abrupt gesture he pushed the things away and rose. His pipe had gone out, but I noticed that he did not relight it. I held the gems full in the rays of the lamp, and Billings paused, holding a hungry gaze over his shoulder. "I say, Killings, how mucn did you Bay one was worth?" I asked care- 'Have You Really No Idea What Theee Are?" I just laughed at him. "Why, Billings, these pajamas were sent me by a friend in China, and I assure you—" "Assure? What can you assure— what do you knovP abont It?" said Billings rudely. "What did your friend know, or the one he had these things from—or the one before him—or the one still before that? Pshaw!" And he snapped his fingers. With his hand he swept up the little caps and the long, wirelike threads that held them and sniffed the handful curiously. "H'm! Funky sort of aromatic smell —balsam, cedar oil or something like that," he muttered half aloud. 'That accounts for the preservation. But still—•• He crossed his legs and puffed thoughtfully. 'Tell you how I figure this out, Dicky," he said finally. "These nightlesBly. For a moment he did not reply, but muttered to himBelf. "I didn't say," he finally replied, and rather crossly. Then he whirled on me impulsively. "See here, Lightnut," he exclaimed, "if you'll let me have one of those for my collection, I'll give you twenty-five thousand for It—there!" He gulped and continued: "I'll have to make some sacrifices, but I don't mind that I—H But I shook my head. Really, I could hardly keep from laughing in his face. "Sorry!

Washington.—When a large reception 1B given at the White House the glieat sees occasionally some other f»e8t in civil life wearing over the • m o m of MB dress shirt eome medallion or crosB or bauble of some kind *UBpended from his aeck by a bright ribbon. There are a good many men in. the Vsifeed States who have been "decorated" by foreign monarchs. If the person chosen for the honor is not working in any capacity for the United StateB government he can take the decorative pr«Bent if he chooses to, but If he is one of Uncle Sam's servant3 he must get peraiBsiop. of congress before he can accept fr*in the hands of any foreign king or government a present of any kind. There is in the state department a case full of presents of various kinds intended for American citizens in the government employ. They are waiting there until their hopeful recipients get permission from congress to wear them or carry them, whichever it may be, for sometimes the present is a medal which must be worn, or a pocket knife or something else which must be carried. Recently congress allowed several army and navy officers and a few civilian employes of the government to accept gifts from foreign potentates. Jt will be some time before congress will act again in this matter and meantime the presents will pile up, for sometimes they are sent direct to the state department and if not, they are turned over to the department by the men who hope Borne day to get permission to claim possession. Many Gifts Are Offered. Since the United States became a world power every nation on the face j.cf_the globe has sought to give its officials presents of one kind or another. The emperor of Ethiopia was one of the monarchs to come bearing gifts. It was his desire once on a time to present a ribbon, a pin and a star, the symbol of an order which has existed since the day of Solomon and Sheba, to R. P. Skinner, an American citizen, one time consul at Marseilles. King Edward VII. of England tried successively to get permission from congress to give a silver ink stand to George H. Bridgeman, American consul at Kingston, Jamaica, and a silver writing set to Arthur M. Beaupre, o- wws tfceir oot minister t o the* Artine -ftepublio. Edward also at one e had in stock a good many BOUVCcoronation medals, a sword-i*. two d several silver watches whicfT"he nted to hand over with an expresn of his kingly regard to army and favy officers and to lighthouse keepers who owed allegiance to the republic. Edward finally had his way. 'It took the shah of Persia two years to get permission to give a diamond snuff box to Richmond Pearson, who W^B our minister at one time to Teheran. It took the khedive of Egypt two years also to secure permission to bestow on BJthelbert Watts the decoration of the Order of the Osmaniek .The government of France, although that country is a republic, was obliged to get the permission of the American congress before it could give decorations of the Legion of Honor to Lieat. Qer,. Adna R. Chaffee and about thirty oYher Anftttcan army officers, meat oT whom witnessed the French array maneuvers. '"•t' When last there was an emperor of China he picked out 20 Americans whom he wished to honor with the decoration of the Double Dragon.

The Louise Home for Aged Wome*. a noted Washington institution, is now Just a half century old. The building is one of the landmarks of the capital, standing at the intersection of Massachusetts avenue and Fifteenth street, with Thomas circle one block aw«7 to the east and Seott circle one block away to the west, Massachusetts avenue is perhapB the finest residence thorougfare in the city o|_ Washington. The aged women wh'o occupy the Louise Home are treated as guests and not as "inmates." They have their calling days, Just as do other Massachusetts avenue residents, and In every way are made to feel that each individual is "the mistress of the manse." The Louise home was founded by William W. Corcoran fifty years ago. The primary object of the home was to provide for aged gentlewomen who had lost their means of support by reason of the war between the states. The south suffered particularly in this way, and virtually every inmate of the Louise home is a southern woman. Not long ago a daughter of a president of the United States died at the home. Her father was John Tyler. She had been a guest at the home for many years. Occasionally she would leave it to attend some social affair at the White House, in which she once lived. May Be Enlarged Soon. TJhere is now room in the Louise home for forty women, but it is possible that in a short time tho building will be enlarged, although it has beea proposed that another structure be erected in another part of the city. It is infrequently that a vacancy occurs at the home, except, of course, through the coming of death. No woman under fifty years of age is admitted and none who has advanced beyond the age of seventy years. There is a long list of applications for entrance to the home. In fact the list is longer now than it has been at any time since the home was founded. Mr. Corcoran endowed it adequately. It 1B considered an ideal form of social service and the lines of management laid dowrFby~Mr7 Corcoran have~been carried out faithfully. General Greedy 4* Popular. Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, who for some years was the chief of the signal corps of the United States army, lives in the city of Washington with his family. When General Greely waB made a major general he relieved a Kansas soldier, Frederick Funston, as commanding general of tho Pacific division of the United States army. It was then that General Greely entered upon the active command of-troops of the line for the first time in twenty years, for the highest rank of line command which he ever before held wna t h a t nt a raptt><n nf n a v n l r y Found Imitation Difficult.

Tfct At the West Point dinner the other night General Greely, who was a graduate, was one of* tbev-^tfests of honor. There was a little feeling existing in the army when Greely was given a high rank, which some of the officers felt ought to have been given to another who had been with troops actively in the field for the major part ,of his service, but this feeling long ago subsided and the general is an exceedingly popular officer with all branches of the service. It is known that General Greely's transfer and promotion were given hira as a reward for the hardships which he underwent in the early '80s while conducting a polar expedition. General Greely was in Washington daring most of his service as a signal officer, and for much of the time his near neighbor was Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who went north and rescued Greely and his party when they were on the point of perishing. Trying Position for a Soldier. General Greely was one* placed in one of the most trying positions which ever fell to the lot of a soldier, and there are few men who would have cared to undertake the responsibility, which at that time Greely, as a captain, shouldered. With his men he was at the point of dying from starvation in the arctic regions. There was left barely enough food to stave off death for a week. The rations per man were cut down to little more than a mouthful given out once every twenty- four hours. A soldier of the command was caught stealing food. I s the hope of saving his own life, he was willing that his comrades should perish. The situation was one requiring the sternest measures. Greely knew from his own experience the awful temptation under which the starving soldiers had fallen, for the meager ration of the men was the meager ration of the -commanding officer. Greely walked apart from his men into the solitudes. He came back and Rock Creek park. SaUora are not tho* ordered a court-martial, In which the enlisted men participated with the verdict of death was voted for the man who was willing to save himself at the cost of the sacrifice of others. Four men were detailed for the execution of the culprit. Four guns were loaded, two with blank cartridges and two with ball cartridges. The convicted one was trilled, but unless the heavier recoil of the two rifles told the story, the executioners do not know to this day which of them It was who biarins u> aaanfully ander5[ ta% a e * fired ^ 6 s h o U t h a t bought d e a t h t 0 telti) of too surgeons.

"I, the undersigned, cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Remedies. I had been doctoring for at letiat a year for eczema on my foot. I had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When a young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to it, when flvo years ago a small spot showed upon my left ankle. I was worried and Bent for a doctor. He said it was eczema. Ho drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of a match and about fli, inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and tho eczema spread to the knee. The doctors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the time. "My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to another in the hope of giving me some relief. I would sit for hours at a time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was so intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I would lose my reason for hours at a time. One tiay a friend of mine dropped in to see me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she exclaimed: 'Mrs. Finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuticura Remedies!' Being disgusted with the doctors and their medicines, and not being able to sleep at all, I decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but. very little pain, in fact, I thought I was in heaven. After using the Cuticura Remedies for three months I was perfectly restored to health, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains. An English scientist has pointed out that there are signs of a steady degeneracy In two sets of organs vital to the well being of the human race, and the fall is most marked among the western nations. The evidence is that, coincident with the mental advance of man, there has been a diminution in the provision of teeth. In the ape, the negro, and the white man, brain and teeth are inversely proportional to efficiency. Increase of cunning has reduced the work of the teeth, and the demand of the brain for blood has starved the former; disorders of digestion show that the balance is unsatisfactory.

His mother was a Quaker, and when he wrote that he was the business manager in advance of the show, she wrote him: "My Dear Son—I am very sorry that thou art in the show business, but I am glad that thou art ahead of tho show! I trust that thou wilt always stay ahead of it." A Correction. "We are drifting toward a paternal form of government," said the economist.

The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, hollow end circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to women. For the woman to be happy and good-looking she must naturally have good health. Dragging-down feelings, hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly returning pains and aches—are too great a drain upon a woman's vitality and strength. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription restores weak and sick women to sound health by regulating and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsible for tho ebvjve distressing symptoms. "I Buffered srrcatly for a number of years and for the p u t three yeans was »0 bad that life was a misery tome," writes MBS. B. F* DicitoVto, of Utica, Ohio, Route 4. "The doctors told me I would have to »0 to a hospital before I would ever be better. A year ago thb winter and spring I was worae than ever before. At each period I suffered like one in torment, I am tho mother of six children. I was so bad for five months that I knew something1 muit be done, BO I wrote to Dr. B. V.

The One Chassis With Different Bodies Converted Dyak, Forced by Sweetheart to Hunt Heads, Brought Those ef Her Relative*. The missionary llgsted a free* offer. "Yet," he said, "I have seen grim happenings in my time. The grln,- most, I suppose, occurred among the Dyak head hunters. "We had converted a young Dyak, and the lad had abandoned head hunting forever. But he met a girl, a beautiful girl, and then—" The missionary shook his head and Bighed, "The girl listened to his wooing, for be was a handsome lad, but smoked heads to a Dyak maid are what Jewels are to a chorus girl, and with a curl of the lip she said: " 'You vow you love me, but you bring me no heads to prove it.' " 'But I am a Christian/ he replied. " 'When did a Dyak wooer ever go a-wooing without heads?' said Bhe. 'You are not a man; you are a girl!' "The young convert ground his teeth and left her. The next morning early he staggered into her presence with bloodshot eyes. There was a bag on hie shoulder. " 'You asked for heads/ h e said. •Look!' "And he emptied from the bag onto the floor the heads of her father and her two brothers!" The missionary smiled Badly. "That wasn't playing the game," he said. "It's the heads of enemies that the head hunter must bring in, not the heads of one's own brother tribesmen. They shut the young convert in a slatted cage of bamboo to starve to death. He died under his sweet*1 heart's eye." Dries Grain Cut Quickly and Permits It to Remain So All the Y«ar Around. # « ^ H ^ i H » * < » t ^ t H i * » « » J i < > « « t H < * » J. Gk 8TSIN.)

Primogeniture. The law of primogeniture sends back Its roots to the most ancient times. Away back in the patriarchal ages the first-born son had a superiority over all his brethren, and in the absence of his father was in every Important sense the head pt the house. Upon the death of the father he became, by the unwritten law, which could not be questioned, the priest and lord of the family, and naturally to him fell th* property as well as the honors of the household. Primogeniture, wherever it is found today, i i the lingering remnant of the ancient custom—a custom which common tense tnd justice pronounce to be as unfair as it is superstitious.

A good implement house with a fully equipped repair shop can be built for $300. The great virtue of alfalfa is its ability to increase the nitrogen content of the soil. All plants which have the ability to add nitrogen to the soil, like alfalfa, are called legumes. The farmer can improve his property cheaper than a person in almost any other business. Drainage lessens evaporation simply by removing the surplus snow and rain water by filtration. Put some manure around the gooseberry, .currant and raspberry bushes, if you didn't do it last month. It is the consensus of oprhlon that a small farm well worked is more profitable than a large one poorly worked. Grass roots must have protection from the winter frosts if good meadows are secured and maintained from year to year. A two-foot piece of old steel rail from the railway track Is a very convenient thing on the farm. It may be used as a, cheap anvil. Manure increases the capacity of a soil to hold water. This .t does by reason of the large amount of organic matter ft contains.

"Worthless reading makes worthless people." Put that In big letters and hang it up in your sitting-room, where you can see it every day, and where tire young people can see it. Maybe it will call their attention to the books they are reading, which are uplifting or degrading, Bays the Ohio State Journal They are one or the other. Parents don't seem to realize this. Nice out of ten of them do not seem to understand the significance of a book. An education amounts to nothing if a boy or girl turns it into shallow reading. Their minds are filled with trash anj their thinking 1B weak, when they read the kind of books that are mostly read these days. It lg a sad mistake to allow this matter to go at random, and to allow the youth's taste for reading to grow rank and wild. The highest triumph of an education is the desire and habit to read good books. It makes no difference how well a boy gets along in his nqattiematics or language, if he has no taste for good reading it is all waste. Parents will take great interest in tho marks their child gets at school, but they are hopelessly careless as to what those marks mean for him In his after life. It is time they were giving attention to this subject. 1,635 PERSONS WENT DOWN NUMBER OF DEAD REACHES 1,635—MANY WOMEN DIED IN EMBRACE OF THEIR HUSBANDS, REFUSING TO LEAVE THEM.

For at least four hundred years Journalism has been a profession without academic recognition, in that a course of study was required to enter its portals. The late Joseph Pulitzer felt that it should be raised to the proper rank, and he founded and endowed a college, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. To the headship of this new institution is called Dr. Talcott Williams of this city, one of the deans of American journalism, and one whose experience, travel, accomplishments and scholarship make the selection wholly admirable. Journalism is not wholly taught. It receives more recruits than almost any other profes- HtonT-and—most -of the postttlants-faHby the wayside. It is a trying-out process which resultB in successes in many directions other than newspaper work. To fit into the peculiar niche which makes Journalism so important is given to few, but it is certain that no young man ever entered Journalism and left it without carrying away valuable lessons.

Seven hundred and forty-five persons, mostly women, sick in heart and body, wrote into the annals of maritime1 history the loss of the finest steamship ever built by man, They were the survivors of the White Star liner Titanic, which sank, how foremost, with i ,635 souls aboard, her captain at the bridge, her colors Hying and her hand playing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," in 2,000 fathoms of water off the banks of Newfoundland, under starlit skies, at 2:20 a. m. Monday as the survivors pulled away in lifeboats, With one voice they told of the splendid heroism of those who re« mained behind to find a wateTy grave that, thev might live. Capt. Smith died, they said, as a gallant sailor should, after having first placed all the women who would go aboard the lifeboats. There were many who stayed behind to die in their husbands' arms. From their narratives stand out in bold relief the following facts: The Titanic was making 21 knots an hour when she struck the-- iceberg. No one at first thought she would fiink. She remained afloat more than two hours. The iceberg ripped open her bowels below the water line. In»tant panic was averted by Capt. Smith's terse appeal to his crew: "Be British, my men!" A small number of steerage passengers tried to rush for the lifeboats and were held back by the crew and other passengers. The Titanic turned her nose for the bottom when the last lifeboat was less than a hundred yards away, reared her stern high in the air and trembled for a moment before seeking the bottom. There were two explosions whe-n the inrushing waterB reached her boilers. When she sank there was silence; a moment later the cries and supplications of the 1,500 dying'men arose In chorus indescribable over the spot where she went down. For hours the survivors rowed in lifeboats over a calm sea in bitter cold until the Carpathia picked them up, In the aftermath of the disaster the principal developments were the testimony of J. Bruce Iamay, managing director of the White Star line, before the senate investigating committee, and the removal of surviving members of the Titanic's crew aboard the U p - land. The Titanic struck an iceberg about 00 feet high, which ripped the liner's sides open and made the watertight compartments useless and while, the vessel was gradually sinking, the icy water reached her steaming boilers, causing an explosion which sent her to the bottom. Among the hundreds on her decks to ihe last were Col. John .TBcob Astor and Major Archibald Butt, President Taft'8 military aide, Benjamin Guggenheim, Jacques Futrelle, George D. Wldener, Henry B. Harris and scores of aa well-known persons, lsldor Straus was among them also wit^t Mrs-. Straus, who refused to leave her husband behind when she had the opportunity to save her life. THE LAST SCENE. Aa the acrenma of t h e s t r u g - g l i n g hundred* of the Titanic's p a s s e n g e r s w h o hnd Jumped Into the w a t e r multiplied, another aound irna heard, strong; and clear at first, then fainter in the dlatance. It wu* the m e l o d y of the hymn, " X e a r e r , My ttod, to Thee," played by t h e s t r i n g o r . che*trn in t h e dining; aaloon of d y i n g ahlp. Some of thoae on the w a t e r started to Ming t h e word*, but g r e w allent aa t h e y realised that for the men who ployed the music n a n n sacrament noon to be c o n s u m m a t e d by death. The siren s t r a i n s of the h y m n und the frantic cries of t h e dying; blended in n aymphony of aorr o w — a never equalled requiem. ) THE WRECK OF THE TITANIC Sunday had been a pleasant day on the big ship. In the morning one of the clergymen aboard held divine service. In the afternoon the decks TOre gay with person* taking the sunlight and adr. In the evening a concert given in the "ballroom enlisted the aid of the talented passengers. The smoking room was filled with professional and business men, some playing cards, others reading, still others discussing the record run of that day. Charles M. Hays and Col. Grace were deploring the competition in speed and size that runs like a mania among the steamship companies. In the cafe, ('apt. Smith and J. Bruce Ismay sat dining at a table aaking plans for speeding the ship up on Tuesday, when for the first time she should be run at her topmost speed. This had been the plan of every day since the ship left Southampton—63 revolutions a minute Wednesday; 70- revolutions Thursday; 72 revolutions Friday; 75 revolutions Saturday; 77 revolutions Sunday. The owners now say that the ship was not going full speed, and technically they tell the truth, for the Titanic, had never gone full speed, which was 80 revolutions, but was gradually working up towards that when on Sunday night she entered the berg-infested seas. Rescued passengers Bay that at 11 o'clock the captain and J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the owning company, still sat dining in the cafe, although Ismay contends he was asleep in his berth at 11:40 when the ship struck. The night was clear, cold and starry. The sea was smoothed out—"I hadn't seen such a smooth sea in years," says a rescued member of the crew. The lookouts in their crowsnest far us above the decks had received sharp orders to look out for icebergs. The Titanic plowed on under her 77 revolutions a minute and the gayety below was just beginning to lose its zest in weariness when a jangle of bells in the pilot house sounded "danger immediately ahead." The officer's hand Was on the button which would stop the engines, when a dull, scraping"! crunching sound—half roar, half groan— ran along the ship's side. In a moment the captain was above issuing his orders. The first was to the ship's carpenter to go below and sound the ship. He never returned. An officer was sent below, but had not gone far before he came running back with a message that only the captain heard. The more than 2,000 passengers were lulled in the delusion that come what may the Titanic might lie helpless in the seas but never could sink, and those who came on deck thought it only a wise precaution the captain was taking when he ordered all on board to don life belts. By this time officers and stewards had quickly gone to their rooms and slipped loaded revolvers into their pockets.. On the top deck the wireless operator was sending out the most ominous call ever heard at sea. And then the great steam sirens began to screech through the night. From a high point another officer was streaking the dark with rockets, The captain standing on his bridge ordered the boat crews to stand by ready to cast off. And now the sense of imminent danger possessed some of the passengers, and the terrified steerage passengers were filling stairways and ladders in their attempt to gain the decks. In the meantime the great "IF" of disaster was sporting on the ocean. The Parisian, the one steamship in those waters that could have saved all souls on board, was deaf to the calls of the stricken ship—her wireless operator was asleep in bed! Farther away was the Carpathian-and she, too, wouULhave been deaf had not her wireless man been accidentally detained at ^his machine. But for one "IF" 1.C05 persons might now be alive, and but For another "IF" the Titanic, from managing director to cabin boy'and the entire passenger list, might have gone to the bottom or died frozen in lifeboats. . "Send out succor"—"S. O. S."—"send out succor," called the stricken ship, and half a dozen vessels turned their noses in the direction of the disaster. On the deck of the Titanic, surprise had given way to consternation, and consternation to bedlam, as the lowering of the lifeboats began. Women were thrown into the boats and their children Hung after them. Four brawny immigrants fought thein way by main force into a boat, and an officer stepped in after them, shot them dead one after the other, and tumbled their bodies into the sea. One man in the darkness hid himself under a lifeboat seat, and so" was saved. Another in his nightgown was mistaken _for_a woman_and__uushed into a boat, _wh erehejfell in a_huddled heap gibbering out his thanks to God. Wives begged that their husbands be allowed to accompany them, and sailors drove the men back. "There's boats on the other side," called an" officer to get the crush of men away, and when the men rushed to the other side they found there were no boats* Returning a double guard of seamen kept them back from the rail. The captain and an officer stood on the bridge surveying the scene and giving orders. The wheelhouee was empty, the wheelsman having gone to help man a boat. Early in the panic the owner of the ship cante with a bodyguard of seamen and was placed with the women in a lifeboat, while a thausapd doomed men looked down at him.

The known death list stood at «41, but there are many sections that nave n6t been explored, and where no attempt at rescue has been made. The consensus of opinion among the big planters of the inundated delta section is that the drowned to date there number between 200 and 4t>0."r,v At one place 15 negroes were drowned.

Bruce Iamay, managing director of the White Star line, who was one of the few prominent men who escaped with their lives, is said by some of the passengers to have been one of the first to get. into the lifeboats, but this is denied by Mr. Ismay himself.

First Officer Murdock on Bridge When Steamer Struck. The great liner Titanic was plunging Sunday night through a comparatively placid Bea on the surface of which there was much mushy Ice and here and there a number of compartlively harmless looking floes. The night was clear and stars visible^ First Officer Murdock was in, charge of.the bridge. The first intimation of the presence of the Iceberg that he received was from the lookout in the crow's-nest. They were so close on the -berg at this moment that it was practically impossible to avoid a collision with it. Speed of Boat Too Great. The first officer did what other startled and alert commanders had done under similar circumstances, that is, he made an effort by going full speed ahead on hie Btarboard prdpeller. simultaneously throwing We helm over, to make a rapid turn and clear the beTg. The maneuver was not successful. IJe succeeded in saving his bows from crashing into the iceberg, but nearly the entire length of the underbody of the great ship on the starboard side was ripped. The speed of the Titanic, estimated to be at least 21 knots, was so terrific that the knlfe-llke edge of the iceberg's spur protruding under the sea cut through her like a can-opener. The shock was almost imperceptible. The first officer did not realize thai the great ship had received Its death wound, and none of the passengers, it is believed, had the slightest suspicion that anything more than a usual minor sea accident had hap* pened. Hundreds who had gone to their berths and were asleep were unawakened by the virbratlon. Within a few minutes stewards and other members of the crew were sent round to arouse the people. .Some utterly refused to get up. The stewards had almost to force the doors of the Btateroom» to make the somnolent appreciate their peril. >usled himself getting other women away. Futrelle forced his wife to leave him. Poor Mrs. Straus looked at life with separation from her husband and at death 'united with him, and chose the latter-- -life could not be long for them at the very best. Put these are noted names—who can tell of the heroism of men who were net known beyond their own circle? Terrific inefficiency was everywhere. Some of the boats put off with only haff their capacity. One boat was oared by the women, the only seamen aboard drunk and Incapable. The Titanic was listing to-starboard and settling by the bow. Seamen in the little boats knew that sign, and pulled away with all their might to escape the awful suction expecte/1 to accompany the plunge below. The owner of the Titanic looked back once, and after that he did not look back. The women in the boats were hysterical, and to drown from their ears the shrieks from the decks the sailors sang that old hymn of the sea: Pi! 11 for the shore, sailor; Pull for the shore; Heed not the a n g r y w a v e Hut bend to the our; Safe within the life-boat, sailor, Safe for evermore, Leave the poor old battered w r e c k And null for the shore." The forward lights of the Titanic sunk lowor and lower. Her band waa heard playing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and faint voices carrying the hymn floated across the water, Sometimes the small boats grazed a floating block of ice, and sometimes they pushed a body away. Miles down on the horizon the Carpathia was racing on her errand of mercy.. The Titanic's bow was awash, and the captain went over, but finding a baby in the water swam with it to a lifeboat and handed it in. Those who took it saw that.lt was dead. The captain went back to his ship, where a cook tried to drag him to a small boat, but he wrenched himself loose with an angry, "Let me go." Men Whose reason-was gone, shrieked deliriously on the decks. Others nervously smoked and assured each other that the Titanic could not sink before help came. Now and again a man slipped into a darkened corner, and a sharp"pistol shot told the story of the death he preferred. "They say drowning isn't so bad," said a young fellow who had kissed his wife good- Jjye 10 minutes before. And there were prayers—God, what prayers! Men whose lips had not formed a petition in years called upon the God of their childhood's teaching., Prayers for safety, prayers that the offerer might ntay jttjs -mfian,. prayers making confession and seeking peace before the awful siieflce should snut in —yes, every rescued passenger testifies to the storm of prayer that went up from, the doomed Titanic's decks, v f The great ship settled and stood with her nose in the deep and her stern in tjie air. There was a rumble like unto thunder as lier machinery, torn from its bases, tumbled toward the bow. The Titanic was giving up the ghost. A black masB of men were seen rushing toward the stern. Their cries and shrieks were heard by the farthest boat, half a mile away. Blaqk forms dropped Into the water. More revolver shots were heard. And then with a hiBS that was half a sigh the Titanic sank to the deepest grave off the Grand Banlfs. The sea was filled with struggling men. William T. Stead, the greatest editor in Europe, and John Jacob Astor, one of the richest men in America, clung to a floating piece of cork, but the chill of the icy sea sought their limbs and then their hearts and they sank back into the water. A raft floated by with 30 men aboard, and they were saying the Lord's prayer in unison. Col. Gracie of the United States army was one of them. Here and there a hardy sailor, inured to the, wet and the cold, kept himself afloat on a bit of wreckage. Men called for help where there was no help, and the last despairing cries of hopeless victims sounded over the water for an hour after the Titanic -was no more- Bearing nearer and nearer, her; captain straining his eyes for sign of the ship, came the Carpathia, and with her came the dawn. A few boats rocking on the sea and a great mass of floating debris were all the captain saw. He stood on his bridge and wept. There were dead bodies in some of the boats, and other dead bodies were clearly seen floating about. But the living were taken aboard and all that tender sympathy could do was done—but there is not enough on earth to heal the wound the sea had made. Rachels mourned for their children and would not be comforted, for they were not. Brides mourned for their bridegrooms, children for their parents, and wives of many years for the husbands of their early struggles. Such a mass of misery silences the tongue and stuns the imagination. The religious solemnity ever Induced by the presence of death was laid on».that whole shipload. The captain of the Carpathia turned the nose of his ship toward the iceberg that had sent the Titanic to the bottom, and there the people stood with bared heads and streaming ftfees while thanksgiving was offered for the saved, and a solemn burial service retd'for the dead. With that the Carpathia took up h«r meteocbvly way to port; and*' J. Bruce Ismay, the owner of the Titanic, stayed In his cabin planning how to get back to England unobserved tober. $2.28.

It is made of coarse gravel and cement mixed to the proportion of one part cement and six parts gravel. The sills are 2x4 material bolted to the foundation by bolts set into the cement while it was soft. The bolts projected just £ar enough above the cement so the taps could be screwed down tightly on the sills. The studding is also of 2x4 material. The rafters are two by six lumber. By using this dimension they can be' T?ut farther apart than by using 2x4s. The entire building was boarded solidly with twelve-inch boards with the exception- oi -the fronts-Only-three.JJeetof that was boarded from foundation. A place for door was made three feet and a half wide to permit a wheelbarrow to enter conveniently. After the building was boarded it was covered with a good grade of roofing material. The open space in front was covered with rabbit wife to prevent the chickens from flying out and to keep birds from entering to eat up the chicken feed. The boards for droppings were put three' feet above the ground and the roosts eight inches above the boards. Along the west side were placed the dark nests, two rows of them, one above the other. A drop curtain, of burlap was hung to the front I of the house. This is made to roll up by aid of ropes and pulleys. The points in favor of this house are lots of sunlight, plenty of fresh air, and a good scratching place for a hundred bens.

W There is no fowl BO interesting or so unable^ to care for itself as the young turkey the first ten days or two weeks of its life. The young turkeys must be kept very warm and dry, but not where the fresh air and sunshine will be excluded, writes Mrs. J. J. England in the Prairie Farmer. Keep them in a roomy pen for ten days at' least, with a floored box or coop for a roost* ing place. It Is better to have a generous supply of straw in the coop as they will keep warmer through cool nights and damp days. I find the turkey hen cares better for the young turkey than a foster mother or chicken hen. She is more thoughtful and watchful and can care for them so much longer than, the chicken hen. The secret in turkey raising is keeping them warm and dry and feeding them generously for the first two weeks. For the first few feeds give them hard boiled eggs with a little, black pepper, with fresh water in very shallow pans. After the first few feeds make corn meal loaf by mixing with sour milk, soda, and a large tablespoon of ginger to three pints of milk, add three eggs. Mix in thin dough and bake well. Feed this with curds or "cottago cheese" well peppered for two weeks, then small grain may be fed. Keep the shells of the boiled eggs crumbled fine In the open so they will have free access to them. Charcoal is very good to mix with the shells. Ginger acts as a stimulant to the young turkey and prevents them from becoming weak. If the turkeys get thoroughly chilled they will be subject to chill cholera or disentary. A few drops of boiled sweet milk with a small pinch of ginger if given every half hour will' save the turkeys after they have become too weak U> care for food. Remember they should be fed every two A Profitable Type. hours the first week. They est a very small amount at a time and are off for a ramble around the pen. They must be well fed the first two weeks three times a day, then as they grow older, morning and evening will be sufficient. ** SENATOR -RAYNER SAYS W O R L D CALLS FOR PROSECUTION Of* HIM AND HIS COMPANY. • RELIES ON B R I T I S H JUSTICE TO DEAL W I T H G U I L T Y OFFICIALS. 8ays He Does Not Believe Ismay Left Titanic on L?st Life Boat and Says He Is Coward If He Did. SAVING TOILET TABLES An indictment rare'ly equalled in its vigor of J. Bruce lamav, managing director, and other officials of the White Star line, holding them responsible for the Titanic disaster, was delivered in the senate by Senator Rayner, of Maryland, who pictured Ismay as "the officer, primarily res'-jnsible for the whole disaster, who lias reached his destination in safety and uuharmed." Senator Rayner pointed out that while there were: no civil nor criminal remedies available in the American courts, criminal and civil suits could be brought in the British courts and that a congressional committee would have absolute authority to nubpena every one connected with the disas* ter and that if any one should refuse to answer questions he could be indicted and imprisoned for contempt. Doesn't Believe Ismay. "Mr, Ismay claims, according to reports, that ho took the last life1 boat," criecf Senator Rayner. "I do not believe it, and if he did, it was cowardly to take any life boat, for the managing director of the line, with his board, is criminally responsible for this appalling; tragedy. ''If this had happened on an American vessel, there would be no question that an indictment would be found and if the facts were sustained, the officers of the company could be convicted of manslaughter, if not of murder, because the evidence is clear that the vessel was not properly equipped with efficient life-saving apparatus. "I have not the slightest doubt that the northern route was taken in obedience to Mr. Ismav's^-d-tfect orders and that with fu^VJwa'fning he risked the life of his entire ship to make a speedy passage. ....- ftFix the Responsibility." "I care not what the rules of the English admiralty are. Here you have the spectacle of the head of the line failing to see that his ship was properly equipped with live-saving apparatus, heedless of the warnings that he was sailing in a dangerous sea, forsaking his vessel and permitting i,50t» of her passengers and crew to be swallowed by the sea. The martyrdom and the agonies of separating that took place on board the sinking shij) are too fearful for the mind to contemplate, but Ismay, the officer KEEP THE CHICKS GROWING Absolutely Necasaary That Little Fellows Potaew Constitutional Vigor for Success. It Is absolutely necessary for the greatest success that the chicks should be bom with a store of constitutional vigor that will push them to the front and keep them growing from the minute they start Into life in the shell until they have reached mature age. Given a lot of chicks that are born well and they will take life cheerfully and grow Into perfect maturity. The beet way to breed a lot of culls is to use eggs from hens w>th depleted vitality and then neglect the chicks after they are hatched. A steam heated hen house is a joke. Never tend a fowl to market that baa a full crop. Ventilation; is more important than heat in the poultry house. Bee that your incubators and brooders are in good, condition now. If you notice symptoms of cold among your fowls, put coai-oll in the drinking water. If you buy eggs that are shipped by express do not set until they have rested 24 hours. Don't forget to place a newspaper in the bottom of incubator, it win save a lot of labor. It is doing things at the right time and never neglecting the flock for a single day that brings success. Never buy an incubator of less than 100 egg capacity. 200 is better and costs but a trifle more to ran it. In the breeding pen above ail there should be provision made for exercise if vigorous healthy chicks are wanted. Weed seed from the cleaning machines of local seed stores have some value as a chicken feed, says a poultry raiser. It is not altogether what a hen eats that makes eggs, and flesh, but rather what she Is able to digest and assimilate. Why not a flock of duets this year? They are easily raised and will make more weight with the same amount of feed than «fclckes*, The market i* good tor * * primarily—responsible for the whult; disaster, has reached his destination in safety. "No legislation can bring bafk to earth a single life lost upon thaf fatal night. What we can do, is to help to fix the responsibility, if possible, and rely upon British justice to bring to bay the guilty directorate of this company. All W o r l d Will Applaud. "All civilized nations will applaud the criminal prosecution of the management of this line. If they can be made to suffer, no sympathy will go for them, and if it does, it will be submerged in the overwhelming lamentation that tdday re-echoes throughout the world, for the victims of their culpable carelessness,, a recklessness that sent hundreds of their fellow-beings into eternity, desolating homes and firesides, and turned this land into a house of mourning. "In this hour of our calamity we appeal to the majesty of the law to deal out retributory justice- to this guilty company to the last degree." Two more bills framed on the lesson drawn from the Titanic dl/aster were introduced in the house. One of them, by Ren. O'ShaugneBsy, of Rhode Island, would compel all ocean-going steamships to or from the United States to carry constant and adequate wireless. Representative Parran, of Maryland, offered a measure to appropriate $100,000 for naval target practice in destroying icebergs, by the guns of the warships and by dropping explosives from airships. Sea Will Claim AH Victims. "The bodies of the victims of the Titanic are at the bottom of the deep, never to leave it," declared Prof. Robert W. Wood, of the chair of experimental physics of Johns Hopkins university. "It Is altogether improbable that anv of the corpses will ever return to the surface, as is the case with bodies drowned In shallow water. At the depth of two miles the pressure of the water is something like 6,000 pounds to the square inch, which is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy ordinarily given drowned bodies by the gases generated in time. That the bodies sank to the bottom of the sea there is no question," he continued. "The Titanic'a victims who were not carried down with the boat followed until the very bottom of the sea was reached." Saginaw's budget for 1912 amounts to $684,070, 196,000 more than last year. "Joy • riding" is growing so common in Kalamazoo that the prosecuting attorney has found it necessary to issue a warning to thoae who take to that kind of sport, l^ast week four machines were stolen. It having come to the attention of Manly ,W.

NEED FOR M A T E R I A L UNDER T H E EMBROIDERED COVER. Idea Is to Prevent Disaster When Liquids Are Spilled—Rubber Sheeting, While Expensive at First, Really Economical. As a rule, it is not the mere spilling of a liquid ou one's pretty embroidered bureau, dressing table or washstand covers that spoils thein, but the instant effect of that moisture on the varnished, surface beneath. 4 In fully nine caBes out of ten—on the dressing table, at least—the cause of disaster is toilet water, tincture of benzoin, spirits of camphor, or some similar article with the alcohol base, that at once dissolves the varnish it touches and makes a nasty mark on the linen above. Where the old-fashioned washstand, with its bowl and pitcher and soap dish, is used instead of a stationary one with running water, the splashes, while less disastrous, have to be taken at once into account, as even water standing iuoce than a few minutes will make sad blemishes on polished wood. Many housekeepers put folded paper under the embroidered covers, but this was never more than a makeshift. Even sheets of blotting paper, recently recommended, can only part. ly arrest the possible damage where alcohol has been spilled, as that fluid will penetrate with rapidity and even a few drops are able to eat into the varnish. A far better protection is given by eome of the waterproof fabrics how to be had. Rubber sheeting, covered with fabric on either side, while expensive in comparison with blotting paper, is true economy in the end, as it is odorless and Impervious to all moisture. Next to this, in point of desirability, would be a sheet of oiled silk—but this would need an undercover of plain muslin, to keep it from sticking to the wood in,ease anything warm happened to be set on the bureau or stand. Still less expensive would be ordinary white table oilcloth, but if this be chosen, it is wisdom not to use it while perfectly new, as ltTTas rather a pungent odor until after it has been exposed to the air for some time after leaving the store. This, too, would require a cover of muslin or white paper on Its waterproof side, but, like the other two materials mentioned, it affords perfect security and is well worthy the attention of any one to whom the welfare of fine linen covers is a matter of Interest. +m WOLVERINE NEWS BREVITIES , Eaton Rapids. -— The executive committee of the State Holiness Camp Meeting association has arranged to havti the work on the extensive imprqvements to the camp grounds started next week.

The Orchestral Entertainers is a company composed of fonr sisters— the Misses Gladys, Edith, Francis and Inez Maurer. For versatility on musical instruments and *'making good," their parallel is seldom found. The instruments are the cornet, the cello, violin and the flute. In this respect they fill an important part on the Lyceum platform for there is much demand for just such a combination and the only reason is that there are comparatively few such combinations, is because verstaility in music is so apt to be accompanied by mediocrity., The members of this company have rightly worked their way up to a place on the Red path list of talent. The Redpath Bureau, as the oldest bureau in the world, has a reputation at stake which must not be sacrificed by inferior talent. For that reason, at the request of the committee they are sending this extra number free of charge.

The United States department o agriculture attributes most of the re1 ported decrease to the brood diseases of bees which are now found widely distributed In the United States. Where disease exists the bee keepers often lose colonies and attribute their loss to some other.cause. It is quite possible to keep bees with profit with disease prevalent in the neighborhood provided the bee keeper knows how to treat the disease. » MAKING HEAVY WAGON JACK List of Material Required Includes Four Pieces of Wood, Three Bolts and Two Screws.

There is also a considerable decrease in the number of farms reporting bees. Since bee keeping is one of the important and profitable minor branches of agriculture, this decrease among farmer bee keepers is unfortunate.

It is well to remember that commercial fertilizers should not replace farm manures, but simply reinforce them. Hollyhocks and golden-glow may be grown along the fence at the back or side of the house, and require but little room. Squash bugs may be trapped by laying shingles near the plants.

All of which Is true and it is now the part of the careful reader to consider the opportunities that exist in Western Canada which, in addition to the above, are attractive features. The evidence of these is found in the letters contributed by some of the settlers. For instance: A former Minnesotan, writing from Warner, Southern Alberta, speaks of that district, but what he says, applies generally to all of Southern Alberta. He says: "I have seen six crops, four of them were first class, one of them a very good crop, a::d the other a poor crop. Government rustics for the last fifteen years s! that this country has averaged a'.- fifteen or sixteen inches of inch e. In 1910 there was only seven inches, and in 1911 twentytwo inches. The 1909 crop was about as good as I have seen in this country and we had about twelve inches of moisture, so that I am thoroughly convinced that with normal conditions, that is, from twelve to fifteen inches of moisture, and with the natural in-' crease of population and Immigration, that Southern Alberta will be one of the very best mixed farming districts in the world. We haye good soil, good water, and a good climate, and altogether Just as desirable a country to live in as Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, or Wisconsin." Hundreds of letters are on file from former American Bettlers, which give good reasons why the Western Canada lands are being settled so rapidly. Full particulars can be had of any Canadian Government Agent, who will furnish literature and give low rate certificates. Excursions are being run daily. After sympathizing with people who are in trouble many a man begins to feel like a hypocrite. OXLY ONE "BROKO QV1X1SE." That in LAXATtVB BROMOOtflNINK Look for the Bignattrre of B W GROVTfl.

The Republican state convention, foi selection of delegates to the national convention, held in Bay City on the 11th, was one of most extraordinary features in which the state militia and the city's police force were prominent figures, and the result is a delegation composed ot Taft supporters and one of Roosevelt adherents. This will give the national convention a very bitter contest to settle as to which delega tion shall be seated. The two factions fought for control of the Bay City convention with a flercenesB rarely, if ever before, equaled in a Michigan convention. There were •some very unusual methods employed, there was much bitter incrimination, iand finally a split, two conventions, two sets of delegates and as a result, not favorable to a harmonious settlement even in the national convention, where final decision as to which dele* gation is the legally chosen one. Both sides adopted resolutions commendatory of candidates they favor and both maintained their organization the legal one. It was a fight to a finish and both sides claim to have won. CLARA BARTON IS DEAD Pounder of the Red Cross Society Dies at Her Home In Glen Echo, Md. Miss Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross society, died at her home in Glen Echo, 13d. The cause of her death was chronic pneumonia, with which Bhe was stricken about a year ago. Her brother, Stephen Barton, of Boston, was with her when tshe died. Clara Barton was born at Oxford, Mass., in 1821. Early in the civil war she was a clerk in the patent office at Washington. Day after day she read accounts of the suffering of soldiers in raVii) ami in hospital until she could endure no longer the heartache it gave her. The national military hospital department was at first quite unprepared for the task suddenly thrown upon it. At length Miss Barton resigned her clerkship to go as a volunter unpaid army nurse in hospital and on the battlefield. She likewise called on generous civilians to contribute to the relief of the soldiers. So much good did she and her helpers do that in 18(14 she was appointed to take charge of the hospital of the army in front of Richmond. She was on the field in several battles.

A BLOOD MEDICINE ALCOHOL.] Recently it has been definitly proven by experiments on animals that akonot towers the germicidal power of the body and that alcohol paralyzes the white cor- EUBclea of the blood and renders them unable to take up and destroy disease germs, disease germs cause the death of over one-half of the human raoe. A blood medicine, made entirely without alcohol, which is a pure glyceric extract of roots, such as Bloodroot, Queen's root, Golden Seal root, Mandrake and Stone root, has been extensively sold by druggists for the past forty years as Dr. . PieccVs Golden Medical Discovery. The refreshing influence of this extract is like Nature's influence—the blood is bathed in the tonic which gives life to the blood— the vital fires of the body burn brighter and their increased activity consumes the tissue rubbish which has accumulated during the winter. Dr. R. V. Pierce, the founder of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, and a physician of large experience and practice, was the first to make up an ALTERATIVE EXTRACT of roots, without a particle of alcohol or narcotic.

TO KEEP LICE FROM POULTRY One of Most Difficult Problems T h a t Confronts Chicken Fanci Proper Proceedure. CBy R . G. W E A T H E H S T O N E . ) One of the most difficult problems which the poultry keeper has to m e e t 1B that of keeping his poultry houses and stock reasonably free from lice, [ mites and other external parasites. In keeping a poultry plant free ' from lice there are two points of attack: One, the birds themselves; the other, the houses, nest boxes, \ roosting boards, etc. I In using any kind of lice powder on the birds themselves, it should always be remembered that a single application of powder i s not sufficient. ! When there are lice present on a bird J there are always unhatched eggs of lice ("nits") present, too. The proper procedure is to follow up a first appli- I cation of powder with a second at an ; interval of four days to a week. If _ i the birds are badly infested at t h e ; beginning it may be necessary to make Almost a Miracle \ still a third application.

Electricity was formerly the mystic rem«dy of the quack, but since electrical apparatus has become BO essential for X-ray work, more serious atiention has been given by regular physicians to the physiological eflectB of this powerful agent Among the notable results has been an electrical method of arresting the degeneration of the arteries so common in premature old age. A new announcement is , that of Dr. Labordie. a French medical man, who gives details of a method of treating sciatica by tonlzation with sodium hyposulphite, and shows what appears to be an effective cure for a painful disease. The effects are attributed In thiB treatment to sulphur oxide from electrolytic decomposition instead of the direct action of the electric current itself. A thick layer of absorbent tissue saturated with a 5 per cent solution of the sodium hyposulphite was covered over a piece of tin as t h e negative electrode, which was placed on the rear of the thigh over the sciatic nerve. The positive pole, wet with water, was put in con* tact with t h e calf of the leg. The patient had been unable to use his legs for ten months, but after ten sittings of forty minutes he could walk a mile and recovery seems to have been complete. LEVY N O T SELL He Declines to Let Uncle Sam Buy Monticello. IT WAS HOME OF JEFFERSON Preparations for Unveiling of Columbus Memorial on Union Station Plaza In Washington—Rubey's Good Roads Plan. Experiments at t h e Pasteur Institute In Paris have demonstrated that chickens can thrive without bacteria, though most vertebrates seem to require them. The experiments were made by Doctor Cohendy at the suggestion of Professor Metchnikoff. Doctor Cohendy uBed a sterilized incubator. Ho introduced three eggs which were about hatching. He sterilized them on the outside, the air apparatus was carefully filtered and all the food was perfectly sterilized. Several sets of chickens raised in this way were —found-after s i x weeks to—be—too—big for the Incubator-and were taken out and compared with chickens which had been raised / n the ordinary way. The tests showed that the incubator chickens were absolutely free of microbes, though after some t o u r s of unstorllized life their digestive tubes contained thousands of them. Physicians tell us that 65 per cent of the children in the public school* of Boston are physically defective, says the Boston Globe. The trained nurses who attend the pupils have performed good service in correcting tern- "poTary defects, NOW U IB proposed seriously to not only fed the hungry, but to furnish medicated baths for children suffering from skin troubles. It is also urged that more attention should be paid to school clinics by teachers and parents co-operating for that purpose. A wise medical suggestion is made that there should be less competitive work in the schools and that the pupils should be relieved of some studies, homo lessons abolished and children promoted or graduated with more regard to their actual menial capacity as Bhown by their daily efforts. As the output of real gold was $500,- 000,000 in 1911, it seems strange that some men should care to buy the imitation article in bricks, says the Chicago News. But the trouble is that if these men get $26,000 worth of real gold t b . y have to put up $25,000 for It; while the alleged $25,000 of gold bricks can be had for a beggarly $500.

Washington.—There is a bill in congress providing for the purchase of Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. The government lost the place many years ago, and the present owner declares he does not wish to sell the property to Uncle Sara or anyone else. The wife of Representative Martin W. Littleton of New York has written much about Monticello with a view to arousing enthusiasm for its purchase. She wrote a little book called "One Wish" not long ago, and to this she intends to add a chapter to increase the sentiment in favor of government ownership of the old Virginia residence of the third president. The new chapter ip Mrs. Littleton's book shows how the government once lost Monticello. It appears that Commodore Uriah p . LeVy, a descendant of Jefferson on the female side, purchased the estate at auction following the death of the great American, and later willed the property to the United States. Relatives Interposed, took the matter into court, and managed to br«ak the will, and in this way the famous property came into the possession of Jefferson M. Levy of New York; a nephew of Commodore Levy, and now a representative in congress from the Empire state. Will Honor Columbus' Memory. The Knights of Columbus have been holding a quarterly meeting in the city of Washington. They prepared to take part in the ceremonies of the unveiling of the statue of Christopher Columbus, which will stand on the plaza of the new Union station. There are to be elaborate ceremonies* in .Washington, jwhen.the Columbus memorial is unveiled in a few weeks' time. The Knights of Columbus will have 25,000 men In line in full regalia, with 3cores of fleets, elaborate and historical, depicting incidents in connection with the discovery of America by the ?reat Italian who sailed under Spanish colors. Other organizations, of course, will take part. The navy and the army will !ielp in the ceremonies, and there will be an address by the president of the United States. Rubey's Good Roads Bill. Representative Rubey of Missouri las introduced a bill into congress "to distribute the surplus in the treasury 3f the United States to the several states .territories and the District of Columbia for the sole purpose of improving the roads therein." The measure Introduced by Mr. Rubey makes it the duty of the secretary of the treasury at the end of each fiscal year to take an account of all the funds tinier his charge and after deducting !rom the sum the amount required *| Dy law to be kept in the treasury, to declare the remainder, if any, a surplus for which immediate provision shall be made to distribute in a sum aot exceeding $2^,000,000 annually on i per capita basis to th<? states and teritories and District of Columbia for the Improvement of the postal roads. There is not very much chance that the Rubey bill will become a law, even though it avoids constitutional dim- :ulties by making the money available Duly for roads which are used by the government for postal purposes. The nterest in good roads, however, has ieen spurred recently in congress. Uncle Sam's Relics. Uncle Sam is a hoarder of relics md a collector of curios. He has ane advantage over private colectors in that people know what sealous care he exercises to preserve things and how willing he Is to give credit where credit is due. So it is that many holders of things historic present them to Uncle Sam, certain that they will be spread before the gaze of the admiring thousands with the name of the donor attached in large letters set up and printed* after the best manner of the government composing room and printery. Sometimes, however, Uncle Sam has to buy something and preliminary to doing it he tries to find out how much It is to cost and if there Is any chance of getting it for nothing. Sometime ago, for Instance, he negotiated with a Portland, Ore., man for the purchase at the price of $500 of a manuscript order book, once the property of Gen. Arthur Saint Clair, who was governor' of the Western Territory and commander of its military forces during the administrations of Presidents Washington and Adams. Uncle Sam gets his money to buy manuscripts from the secretary of the treasury after congress by Joint resolution has given him permission to make the purchase. Had Grant's Field Orders. It is said in Washington that in the city of Utica, N. Y.. there la an historic treasure which surpasses in interest a mere order book of Arthur Saint Clair, sterling soldier though he was. There died recently in Utica a man who owned scores of General Grant's field orders, written entirely In the general's own hand, and every t>nci bearing the signature of the general of the United States army. Grant, it Is said, wrote these various orders and dispatches and gave them to his, telegraph operator to put in cipher | and transmit over the wires. The operator did the translating and transmitting and then naturally, knowing the probable future value of the material, did not destroy the originals, but put them in a safe place where no unauthorized person could see them, and kept pbssesslon of them until long alter the war. From time to time it is said that this operator disposed of some of the original Grant manuscripts to William Wakie, who was a well-known druggist of Utica and who is now dead, his heirs presumably having the Grunt papers. Among these documents it is said is Grant's despatch congratulating Sherman on the capture of Savannah and on the end of his march to the sea. Nearly all the despatches to Sheridan in the Shenandoah Valley are there and also the despatch to Abraham Lincoln telling him that General Weitzel had entered Richmond, and that the army wt».s following. Congress is likely to pass a bill which will enable the government to send the National Guard regiments of the states out of the country If their services there should be necessary as an auxiliary to the army. The regular army officers want the law to read so that the* National Guard shall become a part of the regular force to be officered by regulars, but the National Guardsmen are opposed to this, and if the bill is passed it probably will provide that the state troops shall preserve their identity and go out with their own officers. The Mexican situation has been instrumental in securing immediate attention for several army measures, this militia bill being included. Seek to Save W i l d Fowl. Representative Anthony of Kansas, representing the west, and Representative Weeks of Massachusetts, representing the east, have introduced into congress two bills to save the wild fowl of the United States, which under the onslaught of the gunners are likely before long to be exterminated. Years ago it was thought that the wild ducks, the geese, the brant, the snipe, the quail and the other game birds were so plentiful in the United States that the supply never would be exhausted, but today it is a different tale and t h e fear of the sportsmen and bird lovers is that posterity will know of many of the game birds of America only by tradi- 'flon.~"~_ - - - It must be remembered that the United States has control in the individual states only in certain matters, largely matters which afftct interstate commerce. The Weeks and Anthony bills both are based on the right of Uncle Sam to regulate the commerce of the United States. Migratory birds fly from one state to another. Hence by what Is perhaps a seeming stretch of the constitution some of the legislators think that they have the right to bring the birds under federal control, Need of Protection Not Denied. No Democrat or Republican has Been round in congress to deny—that the migratory birds need protection. They start on their northward journey in the spring just prior to the mating season, many of them in fact mating on the way, and all along the line of flight in, on and over upland, marsh and forest, they are made targets of double-barrel and repeating shotguns. For years sportsmen of the proper spirit and the bird protective organizations have tried to induce the legislatures of the different states to pass laws prohibiting spring shooting, If a law of this kind had been passed by every state ten years ago and enforced. Uncle Sam would not feel today the necessity of becoming a £ame warden for tl»e country, Spring shooting is recognized by everybody who knows anything about bird life as an evil. Several states have forbidden the killing of migratory birds during the time of the northern flight, but other states have refused to stop the spring slaughter, the refusal being due in most cases to the pressure brought to bear on the legislators by the appeals of hunters. Some real sportsmen have held that with the spring shooting cut out there would be no shooting at all in their sections of the country. W h y the Bills Are Opposed. There is considerable opposition in congress to the passage of either bill to give the federal authorities power to protect the game. The opposition springs from the belief of some of the members that either law proposed would constitute an "invasion of state rights." The necessity 6T the law is admitted, but its constitutionality is doubted. It is held generally, however, that unless Uncle Sam does act and the states rights quibble is dropped, there will in a decade be few birds to protect. Representative Anthony has said that if congress thinks that the bill of Mr. Weeks is better than his bill, he hopes that it will be accepted and passed. The Kansas man's bill fixes a closed season for game in all parts of the United States from January 10 to August 15 of each year and provides a penalty of not less than $100 or more than $1,000 for a violation of the act. Seemingly the Weeks measure, from the sportsman's and the bird protector's point of view, is preferable. It permits members of the biological survey of the department of agriculture to fix various periods of non-shooting in different parts of the country in accordance with the known flight habits of the birds. STRONG REPRESENTATIONS TO MADERO GOVERNMENT MADE BY STATE DEPARTMENT. JNITED STATES WON'T TOLERATE MORE BRUTALITY. W i l l Not Under Any Circumstances Recognize Belligerency of Insurgents or Permit Escape cf Leaders. The state department has made strong representations to the Madero government against Orozco, the Mexican rebel leader. President Madero has been given to understand that this government may not longer tolerate the brutal treatment of innocent Americans, the killing of American citizens, the rifling of American m:<IlH and other insults to this government on the part of Orozco and his followers. Fountain Killing a Murder. In presenting to Madero the case of Albert Fountain, an enlisted soldier who was captured and assassinated, Mr. Heberlin, an American mining en. 2;ineer, who was taken prisoner, and a number of other cases, the state department declared that the recognized government must be held responsible for these outrages. Madero has been informed that the killing of Fountain was nothing less, than a cold-blooded, nremediated murder. The Mexican government has been asked to try Orozco on the charge of raurdcr in the Fountain case and if Orozco is ever found in the United States he will be arrested on that charge and returned to Mexico under i demand for trial.

C O F F E E H U R T S One in Three. It is difficult to make people believethat coffee is a poison to a t least one person out of every three, but people are slowly finding It out, although thousands of .them suffer terribly be* fore they discover t h e fact. A New York hotel man says: "Each time after drinking; coffee I becamerestless, nervous and excited, so that I was unable to sit five minutes in one place, was also inclined to vomit and suffer from loss of sleep, which got worse and worse. "A lady said that perhaps coftoe was the cause of my trouble, and suggested that I try Postum. I laughed a t thethought that coffee hurt me, but she insisted so hard that I finally badsome Postum made. I have been using it in place of coffee ever since, for I noticed that all my former nervousness and irritation disappeared. I began to sleep perfectly, and the Postum tasted as good or better than the old coffee, so what waa t h e use of sticking to a beverage that was injuring me? "One day on an excursion up ' t h e country I remarked to a young lady friend'bn her greatly improved appearance. She explained that some time before she had quit using coffee and taken to Postum. She had gained a number of pounds and her former palpitation of the,heart, humming in the ears, trembling of the hands and legs and other disagreeable feelingB had disappeared. She recommended m e t o quit coffee and take Postum and wasvery much surprised to find that I hod already made the change.

And yet no, it couldn't be h e r hand, either; it felt like the crash cover of the cushion— rough and fibrous. And yet, by Jove, it was a hand, for It gave mine a grip that almost broke my fingers and 1hen dropped them. By the time 1 looked up, I saw only her little palm resting upward on her knee. It was funny; but I had other things to think about than puzzles. She sighed. "Well, I'm the one that can feel for you, Dicky." Here the sigh lifted and her laugh pealed like a chime of silver bells. "I guess Brother Jack doesn't know as much about your affairs as he thinks, does he— eh? Why, he told me you were more afraid of a girl than of a mad dog." ~ Antf""a siapptng grip—fell—on my shoulder that made me tingle from head to foot. And yet I wished she wouldn't do that; if she did it -again, I should just lose my head—I knew 1 should. But here she rose, stretched her arms, and dropped into the wicker arm-chair. She hitched it nearer to ine. "You see, it's like this," she began, assuming a confidential air. "You know my bister's up at school at Cambridge, too." "At Radcliffe college—-yes." I nodded. "Why, yes. Well, it's her roommate!" Her tone was almost savage. I strained incredulously after her meaning. ' ' "Did I understand you to say you were brought up before the president there at Radcliffe?" "Radcliffe?" Her head shook. "No —Harvard." And I nodded, recalling the affiliation between the two institutions at Cambridge. * She sighed and her beautiful lashes drooped sadly. By Jove, I was so joiiy floored I couldn't manage a word. I knew, of course, that my heart was broken, but it didn't matter. I loved her just the same; I should always love her; and she had tried to let me know she loved me better than any man she had ever met. What the deuce did anything else matter, anyhow? We would marry and go out on a ranch or something of that sort, where the false, polished what-youcall- it of civilization didn't count, and no rude rebuff or sneer of society would ever chill her warm impulsiveness. She smiled archly, "See here, Dicky, I thought we were going to tell each other the story of our lives. Your turn now; tell me how she L$oks to you, > this girl that came at last— there's always the one girl comes at last, they say, if you wait long enough. Go on—tell me—what's she like?" "Of course, you don't know!" I said significantly. "Me? Of course I wouldn't know— I want you to tell me. Say, is she really so pretty?" "Pretty," indeed! It was like this adorable child of nature? not to understand that she was the most perfect and faultless creation on earth! I leaned toward her. "Is she pretty?" I repeated reproachfully. She-eyed me slyly. "Eh? I don't believe I—" I paused 1 perplexedly. • 'That's right—her room-mate, I tell you! And in a day or two she's coming home with Sis for a visit. I want you to come up for a week end— won't you—and look her over—1 mean, see her and tell me what you think of her. You'll go crazy about her—oh, I know you will!" I entered a protest. "Oh, I say now, you know, there's only one girl I ever saw I would care to look at twice." She smiled adorably. "Oh, don't 1 know all about how you feel? But 1 just want you to see this girl—she's the prettiest and swellest that's been around Boston for many a day; and on Sunday morning she could give the flag to all the avenue. Why, Dicky, she's from China!" "China!" I must have looked the scorn I felt. "Oh, come now, you don't think a Chinese girl is—" "Not Chinese, Dicky." In her eagerness, she moved so near, the silk of her pajamas brushed my hand. "She's English. Her dad's the British Governor General of Hong Kong—Colonel Francis Kirkland, you know—beefylooking old chap with white mutton ^hops—I saw his picture." Hong Kong! I wondered if she knew Mastermann, the chap Who had / sent me the red pajamas. Why, dash r- it, of course she would; for this fellow Mastermann was out there on government business, and he and the governor must be thrown together a good deal. Her musical laugh broke in on my 1 speculations. "But the funniest thing is, Dicky, her name's the same as mine." Her name! By Jove, and until this ^ moment* I had not thought— "Oh, I say," I 'exclaimed eagerly, " w h a t is your name, anyway?" The lustrous eyes opened wide. "Why, you mean to say you don't know? Thought you knew I was named after the governor. And she's named after hers—Prances, from , Francis, you know—just the differ- *"' ence In a letter. See?" "France*P I murmured llngerlngly. "80 your name's Frances?" "Yes, and hers is Frances—odd, i a n t i t r . '1 I assented, but I wlBhed she would 1 drop the other girl—I wasn't interim ested there, except just because she * was. Her boaom lifted with a sigh. "Don't you think Frances is a peach of a name?" "It's heavenly!" I whispered. "And I'm glad to hear about your friend, -too." > Her sweet face clouded. "Not much of a friend; she don't lost airy sleep o»er me,"- she commented gloomily. "T^en there's 81» double-crossing me wlta her influence ever since I got -hauled $p be*ore Prtry at Eaater. Bis "Oh, of course I know how you feel," she said, "but draw me a picture of her." "A picture!" I laughed. "All right, here goes: Eighteen, 'a daughter of the gods, divinely tall and most divinely fair'—that sort of. thing. Features classic—perfect 6val, you know, and profile to set an artist mad with joy. Eyes? Blue as Hebe's, but big and true and tender; hair, a great, Shirting nugget of virgin gold. Form divine—the ideal of a poet's dream— the alluring, the elusive, the unattainable, the despair of the sculptor's chisel." "My!" said Miss Billings, staring. you've got Eleanor Glyn backed oil the boards." She went on eagerly: "I don't care, though; slushy or no , your picture's just perfect for her. Why, your girl must be a ringer lor the girl at Kadcliffe. Only thing you left out was the freckle on the chin." Freckle on the chin! By Jove, I left It out on purpose, for I thought she might not like it. I wondered if all girls at Radcliffe had freckles on the chin. She lay back, regarding me lnsfrutably. "If she looks like that," she sighed, "you ought to love her very much, Dicky." I couldn't say anything, for words are so deuced inadequate, you know. But I just made an effort to look it all. "Of course," sighing, "you ought to feel t h a t way; and, another thing, Dicky: you'll never forget where you first saw her, will you? One of the things one never forgets." "Right in this room," I murmured; "and In that wicker chair." "Really?" Her surprised ejaculation was delicious. By Jove, how entrancingly coquettish of her! How jolly clever! "Go on; tell me how she was dressed—never mind any more picture business; just tell me in four or five words. Bet you can't do it!" She slipped over again to the arm of my chair. In her eyes was a challenge and I took it up. "In black silk pajamas," I said daringly. Her blue eyes opened wide. For a moment I feared shis would be offended at my audacity, but her birdlike carol of laughter reassured me. "Say, you're not so slow, are --you?" And her hand came down on my or questionable taste to pie&etit them to her attention. "Great idea, this, having pajamaa in your college colors," she naid. I thought .so, too, as I noted admiringly the rich effect of her golden head above the black silk. Hut 1 thought the color a devilish odd one—somber, you know—lor colors of a young girl's school. "My! my!" she murmured, "wouldn't I just love to live in pajamas—just go about in 'em all the time, you know! Why can't we, I wonder?" Her face flashed me a ravishing smile; and while I was blinking over her question, she went on: "Funny how the girls even are taking to 'em—even Sis wears 'em!" She chuckled: "Hera are gray fiannellette. But the girl I'm telling you about—she don't; Sis told the mater about it. It seems that before she left China, some high mucka- muck gave her governor a swell pair of silk ones—something like these, 1 guess, but I don't know of what color. But, anyhow, they were too delicate and fine to be wasted on an old stiff like that^and he had sense enough to know it. So he passed 'em down the line to her—Frances, you know. Well, sir--" Here she sidled to the table and half leaned, half perched, upon its edge; and I was so distracted watching her graceful poise and gestures, that 1 lost what she was saying, by Jove. It was her trill of laughter at something she had said, and the question: But I was not through. "Complexlon? Her skin as smooth as the heart of a seashell and as delicately warm as its rosy blush when kissed by the amorous tide." "Gee!" ejaculated my darling. I looked at her closely. "And in one matchless cheek a dimple divine such as might have been left by the barbed arrow of Cupid when it awoke Psyche from her swoon of death. In short, she might be the dainty fairy princess of our childhood fantasies, were she less superb in figure. On the other hand, she might be the sunny-haired daughter of a Viking back with a force that made me "junrpT "Only shows,-' she gurgled merrily, "how little" Jack knows about you. Say, you'd better never tell him about those black pajamas!" She spake chokingly through a storm of laughter as she rocked there against my shoulder. "And say—the joke of it!" She banged me on the back with a clublike blow, incredible from that little hand. "The joke of it is, he thought I'd be so safe with you! Oh, mamma!" And off she went again. "But I'll—I'll never say a word, Dicky," she said, coming out of her laughter and panting breathlessly. "Never! Ahd don't yuu, Dicky-—don't you ever! Understand? Mum's the word!" "But—" "Oh, but me no 'huts'—promise!" "Why, then—er—of course, if you wish it." "That's right, because I want to come again—that is, if you want me. But if Brother Jack was on to you, Dicky, as I am, he would sooner have me at a hotel, that's all." "But my dear Frances—" "I tell you I know, Dicky; he doesn't approve of young ladles in pajamas." She chuckled. "Not even black ones." -_._ _=^K«ep U DarJc'J "Wasn't that funjiy?" that brought me back to what she was telling me. "Yes, sir—said she just Beared her maid—oh, batty! Because she looked so ugly in 'em—that's what she thinks, but of course—shucks! Anyhow, she never wore 'em any more, and a day or two later some coolie stole them—sold 'em probably." Suddenly she yawned, stretched her arms above her head, and flashed me a dazzling smile, By Jove, in the loose-fitting garments she looked for all the world like an Oriental hourl, or some Jolly lovely thing like that. "Gee, but I'm sleepy!* she said be- •&*Smrm** "Don't You Think Frances Is a Peach of a Name?" king, were she not too delicately featured and molded." That waa all I could remember from the description as I had read it in a novel, but 1 was glad I had stored It up, by Jove, for it suited her to a dot. She didn't say a word for a moment, but just sat there eying me kind of sldewlae, her little upper lip lifted In an odd way.- Then of a sudden she shook her head and swung her knee* up orer the arm of her chair. "Wall, Dicky, aa a descrlber you •ore are the ahahy spreader, Bar, She stood up, looking at herself and performing a graceful pirouette before the long pier glass. "Now, If they had been crimson," she proceeded, "he might have felt i different. Old Jack's great on Waryard, and so am I." Of course. All Radcliffe girls were, I knew. By Jove, how I wished I could show her the lovely crimson pajamaa Mastermann had sent me from China! But I would have* to summon Jenkins to find them, and besides, it would be hind her little hand.—"If you'll excuse me, Dicky, I believe it will be off to the springs—the bed springs, for little Frankle. Good night, then. See you In the morning." And with another radiant smile, she moved toward her room. "Good night," I said wistfully. By Jove, somehow I had hoped she would offer to kiss me, now that we were engaged in a way. But then, of course, It wouldn't do—she knew that, So ought I. Perhaps in the morning at the boat! But all in vain my early rise the next morning, my careful toilet and my dash In a taxi to a florist and then to Tiffany's for a ring. At the pier I dodged about In the crowd, the boy trailing behind me with the big purple box, but not a devilish thing could I see of Frances. By Jove, I almost broke my monocle straining! At last I was sure she must be left, for the last passengers were passing over the gang-plank. "Hello, Dicky!" The voice, coarse and hearty, came from an athletic young man in a hurrah suit. On his head, perched Jauntily above a mass of yellow hair, was a straw hat with a crimson band. I stared at him through my glass, but it was any one I knew at all. I looked at him coldly, for there's nothing so devilish annoying as familiarities from strangers. I thought I could freeze him off. But he only grinned. "Looking for Miss Billings?" "I—I haven't seen her," I answered stiffly. But his question alarmed me. He chuckled in my face. "Guess you don't know her in her clothes, eh, Dicky?" And I did not need the punch he gave me in the side to make me stagger backward. "A thousand thanks, and good-by, old chap. I see they're hauling in the plank." He lingered for one bearlike grab at my hand. "And say, don't forget—for I know Jack Billings better than you do— don't ever let him know about all that Scotch last night." He called over his shoulder with a grin: "Keep it dark—as dark as those black pajamas, Dicky!" And aa long as I could see, he stood on the deck, waving his hat at me, as I stood here with my mouth open, my eyes following him with horror. By Jove, who waa he, an<J what did he know? ^ (TO ftE CONTINUED.) Busy All the Time.

I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cutlcura Booklet which I read carefully. Then I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and by following tho directions I was relieved in a few days. I used Cuticura Soap for washing my face, and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening.

These symptoms are calls from nature for helpt The nerves aw crying out for assistance and the cry should be heeded in time. Lydia £. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is prepared to meet the needs of women's system at this trying period of her life.

Y. and came with them to Michigan in 1842, settling in Rose, Oakland county. He united with the Mi E. church at Pontiac in 1856. In 1858 he commenced his public ministry and joined the Michigan Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church. H e preached in Shiawassee county. tbenarmostft wilderness. One of his early charges required nearly two hundred miles of travel on foot every four weeks with three sermons every Snnday. He was married to Miss Ellen Gilbert of Owoeso, September 4$ 185ft He remained with the Methodist Protestant Church 10 years, transferring to the Methodist Episcopal Church, Detroit Conferrence in September, 1868. From Mareiv 1890, to September, 1892, he was Associate editor and publisher of the Pacific Christian Advocate in Portland, Oregan. On returning to Michigan he re-entered the pastorate and was serving the 54th year of his work for the Matter when he was called home. Humor had a lrfrge place in his nature and its happy flow brightened his own more trying periods of life and lent warmth and radience to other lines. But serious thoughts claimed attention as the following quotation from words written to a friend attest "O, to be more like Christ, more useful, more humble, more prayerful and more faithful." To Mr. and Mrs. Hicks were born two sons and a daughter, the latter dying in infancy. Gilbert H , the older son was connected with the department of agriculture in Washington, 1). C, in the botanical division, for four years, dying in December, 1898. The young* er son, Frederic 0., is now professor of economic* in the University of Cincinatti, Ohio.

Dinkehox fltmbar What Makes Bran and Midds So High ? Here are a few facts about it. The demand for winter wheat flour is decreasing every year because of the fact that the people of this country are buying bakers bread.

You can figure it out aumer. You can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demand for the flour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings.

"Thou 1 go to a hotel—that's all!" "A hotel! Why, yon can't do that— »oh. I say!" "Why can't J?" She was downright angry—I could see it; and how" distractingly lovely she was with that flame in her cheeks! Hut she waa just a child—an inno- •rent little child; and how the deuce 'could I ever make her understand? I stammered: "Why—er—not in New York, you know.

She gave me a sudden punch in the side that fairly left me breathless, and her laughter rang out birdlike, joyous. Of a sudden I felt devilish awkward and foolish. > "Oh, please stop stringing me, Mr. Llghtnut—don't treat me like a kid. T want to get acquainted." Then her hrtght face sobered. "Say, was that .on the level—that about your going Wo leave me? See here, I'm not bothering you, am I, Mr. Llghtnut?" '.Mothering me!" I ejaculated.

"Look here, I do wish you would let rue call you 'Dicky.' " "Oh, I say—will you?" exploded from my mouth.r "Will I?" Her look made my blood leap. "You just watch me—Dicky! Oh, say, this is great; maybe It won't take a fall out of old Jack—alwayB bragging that you allow only two or three to call you that." "1 hope you will always call me Dicky," I said—and said it very softly. By Jove, I could hardly keep from taking her hand! "You bet I think It's awfully good of you, Llghtnut—I mean, Dicky." Then her face grew pensive. "Say, do you know, I need a friend like you—just now, I mean—oh, worst kind." "Do you?" I said eagerly, and hitched nearer. She proceeded: "Haven't you had things sometimes you wanted to talk about to somebody— well, things you couldn't just tell to your brother or sisters—oh, nor even your room-mate? You understand." I wasn't sure that I did, for Bhe was blushing-furiously,—and—in—her eyes was an appeal. By Jove, some jolly love affair, I guessed suddenly.

"It's sure some .swell, that room." f "So lolly glad you like it," I said. 1 "Well, I should say!" Then her beautiful eyes looked at me full. "You know, I didn't expect this—I mean having a room all to myself. Never." And then, while I gasped, she went on, sweetly and calmly: "Why, Mr. Llghtnut, Brother Jack would throw seventeen thousand tits ht f*went to a hotel, because—" She {laugh*ed deliriously.

Why, just the devilish, natural result of having a coarse, slangy bruto llko BllUngu for a brother, Poor little girl! It was a beastly shame. She was watching me curiously, Bmilingly, as she sat there, her devilishly pretty mouth puckored into a cherry as she softly whistled^ and drummed her shining nails tipon the chair arm, "I'm afraid I've Bhocked you," she said. "Jack says you're so good " Dash it, somehow I felt humiliated! She said it in a way that made me feel like a silly ass, you know, But she wasn't thinking about me any more. Her eye fell on the tabouret, and he little hand stretched toward it. "May I?"#he said wTth an arch Inquiring glance. "Your cigarettes look good-ta me.. L emptied my case an hour ago." And I proffered them with a show of alacrity. "Pray, pardon me," I said. "1—I never thought of you smoking." A chuckle came through the tiny teeth grasping the cigarette. "Thought I was too goody-goody, eh?" "Do—er—you smoke much?" I ventured anxiously. "Cigarettes, you know?" She pulled a sparkling half-inch as she took her little head. I felt awfully relieved. "Not for me," she remarked carelessly. "I prefer a pipe." "Pipe!" I repeated feebly. The golden head Inclined. "Bet you! Qood old, well-seasoned brier for mine—well-caked and a little •trong." Puff-puff. "Oh, damn your patent sanitary pipes, I say!" And as backward I col lapsed upon the cushions, sfee threw h e r l e g over the arm of her chair and shot two long cones of smoke from her dainty nostrils. "Gee, but it's warm tonight, isn't it?" she remarked absently. And there was nothing to.do but take the hint or leave it; and after ail, she was a guest, you know! "Perhaps you will permit me to offer you some refreshment," i suggested, rising. I knew it sounded devilish Htiff; and I knew, moreover, that I looked like a jolly muff, ia fact. "Perhaps I will/'^she chuckled. "Say, don't urge mo too hard, Mr, Lightnut; CHAPTER VI. Arcadian Simplicity. A moment later I had another shock. "I dori! blame you for looking at me so hard," she said, rubbing her chin and looking, I thought, a little confused. ."For did you ^evor see a face like mine?" "I—I never did!" I said stammeringly, for, by Jove, the question was so unexpected; but I knew I said it earnestly and with conviction in every word. ' She nodded. "Never got a chance to shave, you know—caught the train by such a margin—and my kit's in that other bag. Ouesa I'll have to impoae you might embarrass me." 1 did not want to embarrass her. "I thought perhaps a lemon soda would refresh ycra," I explained. "Or, If you will allow me. I will have Jenkins make you one cf his famous seltzer lemonades. Perhapfh^hougtk, you would prefer juat a plain—" I halted in • confusion, for she was laughing at me. "A plain cup of tea," she gurgled, "or a creme de menthe!" And then her laughter buret delfciously. "Say, do you know, honestly, I'm only just getting on to that dry humor of yours, You've had me fooled. You do it with such a serious face, you know, Say, it's great T" _ I tried tQ_s_mlIe, but I knew it was a devilish sickly go—the more so, because just at that moment her slender fingers discarded the remnant of her last cigarette and reached for a cigar. Another lnatant, and she had deftly clipped and lighted i t I decided I wouldn't ring for—Jenkins. I felt ashamed as I looked in the cellarette, and wondered what the deuce I should offer her. Couldn't think of anything I had ever heard of boarding-school girls going in for except Ice-cream soda; and, dash it, 1 didn't have any Ice-cream soda. Nearest thing would be a little seltzer and ginger ale. That would do. "Oh, I say, I'm going to make you a highball," I said, trying to assume a frisky, jocular air. Her voice lifted in alarm. "Nay, nay, Clarence—not for me!" she urged hastily. "But it's only—" "No flzzy adulterations in mine— not on your life." She followed me across the room. "Just give me the straight, pure goods—anything, Just so .it's whisky." And before I could say a word—If, indeed, I could have said a word—she had selected a decanter of Scotch, and with cigar tilted upward in her tender mouth, was absorbingly pouring a shining stream of the amber fluid. To see the slow curving of that delicately molded wrist, the challenging flash of the saucy eyes of blue, by Jove, It made me just forget all about what she was doing till the fluid ran over the brim. And then, before I could intercept her, she had lightly gestured her glass to mine, and in a flash the stuff was gone. —GoneJ—A full whisky glass; and I her-—I-tnade up-my—mind-,—thea-andthere, to put myself aside. "Devilish glad—I mean delighted to have you tell me anything," I murmured rather weakly; "but—er—I should think jour mother—" "The mater—tell her!" Her hand lifted. "She'd guy the life out of me! Besides, she's in Europe." She paced to the window and back, I protested indignantly: "I don't see how any mother—" Aw, forget It'" she broke i'a, and 1 winced again at slang from those sweet lips. "No, sir; I'm going"to unload the whole thing on you, or no* body." —Anar by Jove, the next thing 1 kneW sins had perched on the broad arm of the Morris chair in which I sat, her arm resting lightly above my should ders. "ifere's* what I want to know about,'1" I heard her sigh. "When you're engaged to one person and meet another you like better, how are you gorng to—well, chuck it with the first, yotr know—and still do the square- thing? There, that's what hit me, Dicky; and I'm up against it for fair!-" Her hand gently patted my shoviider. "I'm telling you, old chap, because I know you'll understand— becaoso I like you better than any man I ever saw—that's right!" I was just afraid to move! Afraid shed stop; afraid she'd go on. And all the while I was feeling happier than I ever had in all my life—happier than 1 ever knew people could be, you know. I never thought her bold "-dash it, no—knew it was Just her adorable, delicious, Arcadian simplicity, by Jove! That explained it, just as ft explained to me all her other unconventionally. "So now It's up to you," she said, "and I want to know what's the answer." *, The answer! And how could I give her any answer? No, by Jove, I knew jolly well I couldn't take advantage of such circumstances— of her artless confession; knew devilish well it wouldn't do, you know. Might reproach me in years to come; and then—and then, there was Billings! So I Just contented myeelf with looking up smilingly, but tt was hard— awfully, awfully hard, dash it—and I just felt like a Jolly cad—or fool. Couldn't tell which. Hard Boiled Eggs.—Egg salads will be in demand soon and they afford an opportunity for the cook to display her skill in arranging and garnishing. The eggs must be hard boiled and this is accomplished best by putting them into cold water, bringing it to the boiling point and allowing it to simmer for 25 minutes. Drop the eggs into cold water, then remove the shells and cut in fancy shapes. DaiBy Egg Salad.—One way to make an attractive salad is to cut the eggs in halves lengthwise, take out the yolks and cut the whites into eighths in long strips. Lay round on a bed of shredded lettuce like the petals of a daisy and sift the yolk through a gravy strainer into a heap in the center. A second method is to cut in halves acro§s the smaller part and use each half of the yolk for a center. Cut the half of the white into eighths which will have one pointed end and form into petals around the center; each egg will make two "daisies." Water Lily Egg Salad—For a cup use lettuce leaves on a plate and lay the long strips cut by the first plan In BO that they will curve upward and fill the center with sifted yolk; this closely resembles a water lily. Notched Egg Cup Salad,—For a change cut the smaller diameter of the egg round in a zigzag line with a small pointed kitchen knife and separate the halves. Cut a tiny slice from the small end and set upright among the lettuce leaves. To Shred Lettuce—To shred letluce use only the coarser leaves, reserving the cup-shaped for the edge of- the- salaA—Roll the^e-iaxge-1 Lightly, then slice from one end with i sharp knife and shape up loosely. It is an economical and appetizing way to use the outer leaves, which are fresb_and green and yet not as -deiieafe as the b«ar4^1eaves.-1-Alice EWhitaker. Deviled Eggs.—Out hard boiled eggs in two, mash yolky with paprika, mustard, celery salt, butter and Worcestershire sauce until it has become a thick, moist paste; All this moisture in the egg white, press the two firmly together and set in a cool place until wanted.

Tao>e who are wondering why Iho number ot Americans going to Canada, year by year Increases in the rates that it does, would not be go surarised were they to^ accompany.

S. senate the other day, comprises 160 acres of the most fertile soil and with remarkably easy settlement "conditions. Then watch the resutts, whether it be on this free homestead of 160 acres or on land which he may purchase at from $15. to $20. per acre, fully as good as the $100. and $150. per acre land of his native state, and which his means will not permit hie purchasing. On the part of the members of the TJ. S. Senate and Congress there is nothing but praise for Canada. Canadian laws and Canadian lands although the reasonable desire is shown in their remarks>that they pass legislation, (which is very praiseworthy) that will make the land laws of the United States much easier. It is the success of the American settler in Canada that attracts others, and when experiences such as the following are related to the friend "back home" is it any wonder t£at increased interest is aroused and a determination arrived at, to participate in the new-found way up in Canada that means wealth and health and all that accompanies it. William Johnston, who formerly lived at Alexandria, Minn., settled in the Alberg District near Battle River and in writing to one of the Canadian Government agentB, located in the United States says: "We have had n o failures of crops during our nine years in Canada. I threshed 1208 bushels of wheat and 1083 bushels of oats in 1911, off my 160 acres. This is a beautiful country. I keep six good work horses and milk seven cows, getting good prices for butter and eggs. We get •-coal for $2.00 per ton at the mine, about one mile from the farm. Am about one and a half miles from a fine school. As for the cold weather it is much milder here than in Minnesota, where I lived fpr_ 21 years. Our weJL is 55- feet deep and we ba-ve-fine waters— Wild land I s " setting for $l«r to $25. per acre. Improved farms are much higher. I am well satisfied with the country, and would not sell unless I got a big price, as we have all done well here." Good reasons to account for the numter going to Canada. T H E R E ARE OTHERS.

By G E O R G E C L I N T O N . Washington.—Some one with a grievance or with an unbalanced mind has been Beribbling on tho walls of the capital in "a large, fre<2 hand" with blue chalk various uncomplimentary comments about great and almost great statesmen doing their country's service In Washington. No matter what the motive which inspires the scribbling, the act is one of a vandal because it disfigures the walls of the building, and the police and the watchmen are trying to catch the culprit. It will be remembered that not long ago a large piece was cut out of the oil painting of "Perry at Lake Erie." Since then a special watch has been kept to prevent repetitions of the vandalism. False Alarm About Webster. Washington was much disturbed a day or two ago when It heard that somebody with a chisel had chipped pieces out of the marble trousers and the marble coattail of the statue of Daniel WebBter which stands in Statuary hall. A close inspection has led to the discovery that the Webster memorial has not been injured by the hand of man. Elliott Woods, the superintendent of the capital, says that the holes which were discovered- in the Webster statue were put there by the sculptor and have been plainly visible ever Bince the statue was erected. Some one suggested that the vandal who was at work was a new kind of which had developed an ;ippetite for marble garments. Former Vice-President Levi P. Morton has made up his mind to come back and live in the capital for eight or nine months a year for the rest of hls'Tire". "He""owTTS~a T>ea"utlful *rest^ de h ce^nr^R ft otle he lived when of the United States under Harrison. When Mr. Morton went but of office the Russian ambassador moved into the residence and, following him, came Secretary of State Elihu Hoot, and then John Hays Hammond. Mr. Morton <; himself lived there for a few months two years ago. Morton Mansion In Peril. There is a fine arts commission which is supposed to take'.cognizance of every attempt to increase the beauty of the capital, a cognizance which embraces the overlooking of •improvements in public- buildings,—The wish propriution of $10,000 for plana alone. The sum of |1,500 i3 suggested for a small statue to C a p t Charles Wilkes, who is chiefly celebrated in popular recollection for takhxs; Maaon and Slidell, the Confederate corrdnisaioaers, from the British mail steamer Trent in 1861. The United States government did not back up. Captain Wilkes in bis a c t of taking t a e Confederate commissioners off t h e British vessel. In fact, nearly all diplomats thought, and think today, that Wilkes acted without proper authority under international law and t h a t the Confederate and the British governments had a perfect right to protest, and that the United States authorities could do nothing else tlian to disavow the naval officer's act. Admirers of Major Andrew S. Rowan, U. S. A., who is still living, have put in a bill appropriating $5,000 for some memorial of his famous exploit in 1S98, when he was sent by President McKinley to Cuba to communicate with General Garcia, the leader of the Cuban revolution. He made a landing from an open boat n e a r Turquino Peak and with much difficulty succeeded in reaching Garcia. M a n n la Friend of Poultry. Representative Mann of Illinois, who is the leader of the Republican minority on t h e floor of the house, has introduced a bill to require all common carriers engaged in interstate commerce to provide food and water for poultry in transit, and to prevent suffering from over-crowding by providing crates of sufficient size tt) be humane and ta be open Oh" at least three sides so that proper ventilation may be assured. Congress has acted before this on behalf of cattle in transit and now it is proposed to extend the humane effort to chickens. One congressman said that because chickens wore feathers it was supposed t h a t they were not susceptible to cqld. Ho added, however, that feathers, while warm, did not provide food and drink. The bill has gone to the proper committee and there is a fair chance of its passage. House "Babies" Have Frolic.

D. 1. Sutherland of Detroit, acting president, presiding. There is a large number in attendance. Mrs. George Robinson, member of the board or the northwest, was the principal speaker of the session. This board has jurisdiction over 12 states and its headquarters are at Chicago. The foreign societies in these 12 states have lo5 missionaries in the field and LJ0 youpg girls, many of them college girls, are ready to go. One hundred and Beventy thousand dollars has been received from these 12 states during the past year. Port Huron.—-At a meeting of the mayor and city commissioners, the commissioner decided to close pool and billiard rooms, bowling alleys and shooting galleries in the city every night at 12 o'clock and all day Sundays. The proprietors of theHe placeB have been agitated over the matter of late and have been holding secret sessions, which finally resulted in the presentation of petitions to the city commissioners, These petitions had* little eaect On the commissioners, only one amendment being mad§ th tho ordinance, that of changing the closing time from H to 12 o'clock. Grand Rapids.—The first session of the semi-annual meeting of the western Michigan district of the Methodist church opened here. More than ITiU pastors attended.

It is now said that it is intended to give the house a more stately appearance by the introduction of white marble in places. The old house lias been a comfort to the eye of many a Washingtonian man and visitors, and the changes are awaited with trepidation. Children's Playground Lost. Washington, with all her monuments and statues, good, bad and indifferent, and all her vacant land, still has-n-ot space left in which to erect public memorials, and it ought to be said also that projects more necessary to the public health than marble statues, like Qlaygrounds for the children, cannot be thought of apparently because of lack of room. Fnr two yearB by means of private subscriptions, for example, a little grove at the corner of Fourteenth street and Columbia road has been used as a playground and fitted up for t h e children. It was covered with oak trees of priceless value, as far a s thefr shade qualities are concerned, and was one of the most picturesque spots In th« city. It is in the heart of a thickly settled district, where It is a cruelty to keep children within doors and a continual danger t o let them out on the streets. Nevertheless congress, which would spend $75,000 for a Federal building in a town of 281 inhabitants, neglected to secure this breathing space. The magnificent oak trees are being cut down, and where last summer t h e place was alive with children, a family hotel will stand. Many Monuments Projected. Should congress be In a giving mood toward the shades of the dep a r t e d , it Is a question where suitable sites for memorials could be obtained. The demand for space is in- ^•iftent, and the senate committee on 'Wltfrjr has record of no less than requests, while, the house com • * * » * as a^aasaeSSkff^a saw SraaaaR MSP an, BtffwBfnfflr t a M*MraTUP>j,nran KFIM0E STftMl- • •saberttsfebss oaiy U dojubtless has as many more. 1A'"fill appropriating $100.006 for a fJtliue of Alexander Hamilton already puieq trie •gnati: 16 tbe e Sf.f Its tla, a>ITH(W t, NO. 4«*1t M#L* •The sum of $50,000 Is wanted for a statue to Matthew Fontain* Maury, the American naval officer whose ±^Wf«*tMe " T ,1 in rlr+trs nf the tea Is among the classics.

No party lines were drawn at thiH gathering, Republican and Democratic: babies had fun together. The tariff came In for a bit of by-play. Protective Duty on Cats. A high protective duty was put on cats in order to protect the home industry. Kvery feline, whether a wild-cat a polecat or a domestic cat Imported into the United States or its island possessions, it was decided, must hereafter pay $1 a head in order to be admitted to full American catizenship. As a/ rider to this bill A prize was offered to the member who could make the most stirring oration on the American flag. Representative Littleton was chosen as judge, but the oratorical flights of Representative Connell of New York and Witherspoon of Mississippi were so nearly equal in grace and distance that the judge gave each the lirst p ri?,e. The senate galleries broke out into applause the other day when tbe name of Theodore Roosevelt was mentioned. The senate gallery has applauded at times the names of William Jennings Bryan and of many other well-known Americans without regard to political party, but it must be understood that it is against the rules of the senate to allow applause in the gallery. Mustn't Applaud In Senate. It makes no difference who it is that is receiving the applause, the vice-president must bring down his gavel while the noise is continuing Mid say with all due eolemity and severity that all demonstrations of approval are not allowed and that if they do not ceaso "the galleries win be cleared." This word from the vice-president has been said thousands of times in the senate and its effect has never been visible for more than a n hour at a time. It is only rarely that the cenators themselves laugh and it is only once in a lifetime that they applaud. The cases where senators have broken the applause rule can be counted on half the fingers of one hand. The senate, however, has its . jokes frequently and while laughter is subdued, broad smiles are always In evidence. When Senator Jonathan P. Dolliver, now dead, referred to Senator Francis E. Warren of Wyoming as "the greatest shepherd since Abraham," the broadest of broad smiles was visible on the face of every senator. The wool bill was under discussion and Mr. Warren is said to be t h e proprietor of a considerable fold. bulldog, was found in the house so nearly Btarved that it could not bark. .Jackson.- C a r l l>e Strange and Frank Hogati, charged with larceny from the Ideal theater, were arraigned in circuit court.

The UnHappy Pit Two men who worked a farm on shares dissolved partnership sod divided up the stock, etc. However one pig was left over which both claimed and not being able to agree, took their dispute to the neighborhood Solon to settle and the following is his account of it^ Bill and Pole worked a big farm, And stocked it up with care, Bill kept a pig beneath bis arm, In which Pete had no share. And when the deal was all complete And they to work began, Bill said, "I'll drop this pig in, Pete. And take him out again." And so Bill set the porker free, He grew and and thrived amain, And then one day they came to me, To take him out again. And I said, "sure that is no trick, I'll do it with a will, Such stunts as that I do real quick, Here take your old pig Bill." At that Pete gave a mighty yell, And said, that "pig's my meat" I said/'Let's see, I guess so, well, Come, take the old pig Pete." Then William let a mighty roar, That got me all fussed up, And Pet got mad and raved and tore And said 1 was a pup. I said hold on ' 'I mean all right, I'm tired from my labors, I've worked at this from morn till Say, let's call in the neighbors." The neighbors cams and said he! he) The thing is very plain, Just give that little pig to us, We'll pass him on again." And so the pig was passed around, To Bill first then to Pete, Until the pig fell to the ground, And said that he was beat. Well, soon the poor pig they forgot, But still they guessed and tried, One said I thought I knew a lot, Another said he lied. And so the battle-r*v«driBd~roare3, It had then for three nights, At last I turned them all out doors, And blew out all the lights. Oht poor unhappy little pig! .. ila*» you no hom*,or two2 Though you are hot so very big, I don't know what to do. For if I give you op to Bill, Pete says that he'll be beat, I have a mind to feed you swill, And chop you into meat. But stay, I guess I have it now, Another pig I'll buy, Then j u t to stop this beastly row, I'll pat him in the sty. Then Bill can come and get his pig, That will be nice yon see. And Pete can come and get his pig, But say, who will pay me. I never thought of thafbefore, ^~~" But still I do not care, I'd rather give a pig, or more, Than hear I was atft fair.

On F e b r u a r y 1 t h e system of labor e x c h a n g e s instituted lu Errgland by zu-t of P a r l i a m e n t had received a two y e a r s ' trial, and t h e results havo an i n t e r e s t in this country, w h e r e similar p l a n s for bringing unemployed labor in touch with employers have been agitated. T h e r e a r e now 2G1 ext nange-6 as compared with t h e 82 with which the experiment was begun. During 1910 notification of 458,943 vacancies was given by employers, of which 37:i,:n:i were filled by t h e exchanges, and d u r i n g 19H t h e s e figures rose to 757,109 and 589,770, respectively. In 1911 casual employment w a s provided t h r o u g h the exchanges for 112,492 men and 12.S12 women. I^ast year ¢4/901 vacancies w e r e filled by the transfer of applicants to dist r i c t s other t h a n those in which they w e r e registered. To facilitate this m o v e m e n t of labor from one p a r t of t h e country to another, an obstacle to which in the case of women worke r s is the lack of suitable lodgings, t h e suggestion is made of establishi n g women's hotels in connection with t h e exchanges. During 1911 t h e dem a n d for operatives exceeded t h e supply in t h e cotton, woolen and worsted t r a d e s , and Jn t h e case of women In t h e clothing t r a d e s and in t h e laundry work. One favorable outcome of t h e e x p e r i m e n t Is t h e growing confidence shown by both employers and workm e n in t h e system and the prospect of friendly co-operation in extending Its scope. One of t h e curious provisions of the woman suffrage law of California calls for t h e registration of the height of women voters.

Taupe Veil, With Bonnet to Match, is Among the Moat Appropriate of the Designs Offered—Bright Colors Favored. Small straw bonnets, sailors and light felt hats have no rivals in popularity when the question of automobile headwear comes up for settlement. S h e who buys a h a t for this purpose remembers that a veil must be worn with it, both for comfort and protection. Washable chiffon in light colors and in gray and taupe makes the prettiest veils and those In deep cream or light blue are especially becoming. The taupe veil with bonnet to match is very elegant. This color does not need to be washed a s often as lighter ones, but this may or may not be considered a n item in its favor. Taupe colored headwear Is brightened by small touches of the most vivid colors in its trimming, like that in a small cluster of cherries, or little hand-made silk roses in bright pink, made and sewed fiat to the bonnet or hat. Cerise Is a favorite color In combination with taupe. float when not needed over the face. The soft felt hat is most comfortable, but not appropriate for everyone and therefore not becoming to many faces. it is "floppy" and apt to look rakiHh. Pretty, youthful faces can "carry it off" unless the figure is stout. It is the hat for a girl slender and young; the fortunate type that can wear everything. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. QUAINT CONCEIT COMES BACK Choux of Ribbon, Silk or Velvet, So Popular Some Time Ago, Is to Be Revived. A quaint conceit which is Deing revived on several models is t h e large choux of ribbon or silk velvet, repeating, perhaps, the note of color at t h e waist and placed at the side front about nine inches up from the f o o t In fact, w e appear to be in for a revival of t h e s e contrasting choux of silk or velvet, which were such an infliction some years ago. They are applied to the corsage or skirt more oi less indiscriminately, and bear n o relation to t h e general design of the model. Just now t h e Idea i s quite endurable, especially when carried out a? on a white batiste frock with a Vshaped lace vest at the neck let into a large plain vest of fine embroidered batiste. T w o large diamond shaped pieces of lace on t h e shoulders head All the small bonnets of straw and , t w o - s o f t f o l d s of batiste, which .cross the n e w straw sailors, are made in Medical Genius. An old doctor, seeing a young one who was going along the street with half a dozen shabby-looking men and women, called him aside and asked: "Who are all those people, and where are you gojng with them?" "I will tell you in confidence," was the reply, "that I've hired them to come and sit In my reception room.

Remember this in making a selection, for the coming summer. Fashion favors millinery that is cheerful and bright. Street hats and bonnets, including midsummer sailors, are made in rose-pink, light green, light blue, purple, lavender, cerise and rose color as well as in quieter colors, and tkey have a lot of "go" and distinction. Small bonnets are faced with silk, which may be plain or flowered or striped, n o t t o mention t h e changeable tones which are liked s o much. Bows of ribbon or silk and small flowers of silk are used for trimming and are posed flat to the body of tbe hats or bonnets. The veil i s shirred o n a narrow ribbon or elastic band and slipped over t h e bat, where it stays, be the wind more or less boisterous. A^ double-width chiffon, t w o yards long, makes a sensible veil that may be brought about the neck and is not too long to be thrown back and left to MILLINERY MODELS ARE MANY over in front into a swathed waist belt of soft mauve silk, finishing with an enormous choux at the left front. The skirt i s on simpler lines, gathered into t h e waist. A band of t h e lace is applied about a foot up from five b e m r a n d just above tbi*SS(fr iff-* line with that at the waist is a very large rosette bow. These touches of mauve were quite delightful. A similar note w a s sounded on the white baby hat, which had a wreath of tiny mauve roses encircling t h e m o b crown. Another model in spotted muslin also had a little cross over bodice folded over a soft fold of pale green silk. The waist belt and rosette are in pale green silk and a large flat rosette headed an open seam, revealing a lace inset. These introductions of colored silks into white lingerie and muslin frocks are very much to be -noted just now Wardrobe Hints. Green, which is, above all colors, the most springlike, has hopes of com' ing into its own again, and the hue predominates in many of the new tailor- mades, and particularly in mixed serges. Belts of all kinds are again appearing, and the belted Russian blouse for outdoor wear will likely be very often seen during the coming spring months. RATINE LINING.

Designer* Have Been Busy, and Surely All Tastes May Be Satisfied With the Styles. A neat little morning hat with a helmet crown and curled brim made of sapphire blue straw has a couple of lime green feathers upon it and no other trimming at all—a curious combination of dyes, but quite pleasing. • Another model is of the beret shape, developed in a chip of a steel gray shade; on the drooping side - of the \ crown is plastered a perfectly flat bunch of rosea surrounded by leaves. The flowers look as if they had been pressed in a book. Pure green, pink and orange are the colors of the bnds that in sections of each color make a strange decoration for a cinnamon colored straw hat, all the stranger since out of the center of the flowers rises a handful of cerise plumage. As if in feverish seal to produce novelties, the milliners are making wings of straw and flowers, and straw ribbon \% quite an ordinary anomaly. Brtese Baskets.

Something In I t Governor Beryl Carroll of Iowa has an amusing story of a state senator whose amusing appearance might possibly lead one to mistake him for a laboring man, but who is a s sensitive as a woruau to all unpleasant circumstances. "This man,' said Governor Carroll, "happened to be standing outside a Des Moines undertaking establishment, conversing with a friend on political matters, when one of t h e employes came out of the shop and said: " 'Say, will you give us a lift with a casket?' "The senator shuddered and replied hesitatingly: " la there—Is there—anything in it?' '"Sure," came the hearty reply, 'there's a couple of drinks in i t !

Senator Davis, in an interview at Ozark, derided good humoredly the aristocratic pretentions that too many Americans, as soon aa they get rich, assume. "it's hard to be aristocratic in a democracy like this," said Senator Davis. "We've got no criterion, no measure, and hence, aa aristocrats, we never can tell where we stand.

In the Philippines, where most of t h e automobilists are foreigners, and where the natives have been used to loiter comfortably in the roads after t h e fashion ot easy-going southern countries, the automobiles have long been a grievance, and, failing to secure effective regulation, the Filipinos have adopted the practice of rolling big boulders into the roadway as a hint not to turn corners at a breakneck speed.

Why Should a Chicken Lay a Soft-Shelled Egg? Because, Willie, the chicken dont know how to create a hard-shelled egg unless it has some food with lime in it. So chicken-raisers often provide limestone gravel, broken oyster shells or some other form of Hme. Let the chicken wander free and it finds its own food and behaves sensibly. Shut it up and feed stuff lacking Kme and the eggs are soft-shelled. Let's step from chickens to human beings. Why is a child "backward" and why does a man or woman haye nervous pros~ nation or brain-fag > There may be a variety of reasons but one thing is certain. If the food is deficient in Phosphate of Potash the gray matter in the nerve centre* and brain cannot be rebuilt each day to make good the cells broken down by the activities of yesterday. Phosphate of Potash is the most important element Nature demands to unite albumin and water to make gray matter. Grape-Nuta food is heavy in Phosphate of Potash in a digestible form. A chicken can*t always select its own food, but a thoughtful man can select suitable food for his children, wife and himself. > .••..w - * « • • v.-, r '••• Grape Pottum Cma) C^i^ny.

The demand for winter wheat flour is decreasing every year because of the fact that the people of this country are buying bakers bread. Now if everybody was to ase the bakers product and not make bread or biscuits the consumption of flour would be far below what it is today Here is another point; the demand for bran and middlings is increasing every year on account of the increase df the try business.—You can figure it out~for~~yonrlie1t" tttrConsumer. Yon can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demand for the dour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings. Now we are doing a good business and are not knocking onr customers, but we could do mors and so could any other mill in Michigan or any other state.

JFabrlc That Introduces the Gown Color is Far Smarter Than the All White—Pretty Broochea and Bows. The illustration shows the fancy version of tho Peter Pan, the front being cut In a novel way and the pocket left off, and this model would be most effective in a striped silk tuatching the suit color. As to Bhlrtwaist colors, wo will not be able to escape all white, and a fresh white waist certainly gives a tmsinesB woman a neat and smart ;look when employed with her duties; but all white Is far lesa smart than a fabric introducing the gown color In very handsomely against the white background. Shirts in these fabrics are always laundered without starch and very often the neck finish Is In the form of a soft stock with ends made for a four-ln-hand tie. Stiff linen collars are likewise worn with aottlaundered shlrtSj and with silk and liannel ones, but the woman who has the beauty of her throat in mind prefers the more pliable stock of the shirt material or of Irish lace, for although a lace neck fixing takes away something of the distinction of a tailored waist the Irish stocks are much worn. For little extra occasions, when the silk four-in-hand tie deems scarcely dressy enough, there are charming butterfly bows in plain and lace-edged muslin and net, and girls who know how to make their own little neck fixings often turn these out from bordered handkerchiefs and make them in a way so that they wash without hurt. The pretty little brooches and bows with ends of satin flowers are still gayer neck fixings, and, besides being In excellent taste for occasional wear, these are easily made at home from any little fragment or gay satin or ribbon.

Four Acres of Thistles By CARL JENKINS (Copyright, 1913. by AMeciaicd Literacy Presa.) BANDS TO REMOVE WRINKLES Women Who Have Tried Rubber Report Enthusiastically on Merits of the Scheme. Rubber bands for removing wrinkles In the forehead are being tried by many women, who are enthusiastic over the success they have had. The bands are flat and shaped to fit the forehead, having a small point extending down In front over the nose. Before adjusting the band the forehead should bo r«bbed-^th-coiA^creana-anda little of the same cream smeaTed over the inside of the rubber Strip. Then it should be fastened in place by means of tapes] If the rubber beautifter 1« too tight a headache may result. Jt should be remembered that the virtue of such an appliance lies In itH heating properties. After the band has been worn a little while the inside becomes coated with perspiration, which helps to cause the wrinkles to disappear. The rubber piece should be cleansed carefully after it in used each time by wiping off the cold cream with a cloth. The forehead should al- HO be given further treatment with dasheH of cold water to restore tho The -Blocking at the Front of This Waist Gives a Little Chance for .Extra Dressiness. . Home manner, and as a standby one imdice 1TI a silk exactly matching the suit would be invaluable. This comes in very handy for rainy days and for the moment when a white walat would seem a little too commonplace, for ••with a change of neck fixing tho get- •tip can be made far more dressy. Among the smart wash shirtings whose patterns match tho colors of 'the new suit materials are madras and cheviot, the browns, blues and iPlum tones of the pin stripes, checks and dots and diamonds showing up WHITE VEILED OVER BUCK Smart' Milliners Give Distinctive Touch to Their Productions by 8lmple Arrangement. White malino veiled with black maline has latety been seen on many of the creations of smart milliners, two immense outstanding loops of the material being an indispensable part of the decorations of any hat on which, it appears. Rhinestones are frequently u*ed with it and are extremely effective with the sombre tone produced toy the black over white. One hat is made entirely of the maline and is trimmed only with tho two big loops *nd a string n ' large rhinestonea ^around the crown. Another model is a tinjvbowl of stretched black satin. which i s wound about Mie edge with fold* Of. maline and adorned at the fcacjt with the two • big loops. The fold* tljAt surround the hat are held at itwo pofhts by big ring* of rhinestonea. Tlrownsmalfne over white is also seen, hating, been used on one large hat with • crown of dark brown velvet and a brtm of gold lace. Voluminous circulation and close the pores of the skin. Borrowing From the Birds. A Parisian invention for the woman who craves sensational apparel is the feather vest, or gilet-olseaux^ This adornment is molded closely to the figure, and though it has the beautiful changing colors of many rare birds, It is usually made of the plumage of tho humble goose--such is the genius of the modern dyer. The effect of the vest, displayed at the opening of one's tailored suit, is most artistic when the toque worn with it is of the same plumage. 1 > I - : T I ; U I T — f u t i l e — K x t n t <trv-f.Nl ••Ut't'i'.s a m i lii'i tVrs, $6.77)(0 7; s H ' f f s a m i h e i f e r s , 1,()(1(1 t o l.JUU, $ H .

"Mad dog!" whispered the tramp after watching for a moment. Head held high—eyes a fiendish green—slavering at the mouth. Those were the true Bigns. The tramp stood up and grasped the stout stick by which he carried his old satchel over his shoulder. The dog came straight at him, but at the last' moment swerved aside and passed on. He was half-blind in his agony, and he may have taken the man tor a shadow. "Gate open and girl in tho" hammock!" whispered. the tramp. "Will he turn in? If he does she will scream, and what then? I musn*t take chances!" The dog had forty rods to go by the road, and the man, by leaping the fence and making a s]hort cut had only about twenty-ftve. One Jump and he was over the fence, and then he struck a cinder-track gait. The dog stopped for a few seconds at the gate and then turned in. Just then the girl sat up in the hammock, and seeing both tramp and dog she screamed. The tramp let out another link, and he was at the /foot of the steps when the mad beaBt came racing up with growls of agony or anger. With a full swing of his stick the tramp bowled the dog over, and three or four more blows finished him. "What—what is it!" demanded the girl. "Just a mad dog, miss," was the rerJy as the dusty outing cap was lifted. "ile'a dead and there's nothing to fear." "But I want to know." "Just a mad dog." And the tramp had reached the gate when Judge Horton and his wife came driving up, and the judge leaped out and seized the man by the collar and exclaimed: _ -!4ie44_ea— hero!—4--w*at-4» knowwBat'lbeen going TJrrr "Don't let him get away, rather!" cried Edith as she came running. "What's he done " "Why, he killed a big mad dog that was after me! I want to know his 1 name and make him accept thanks." , "Just a mad dog," replied the tramp with a deprecatlnR smile, but the trio insisted on making a hero ol him. The judge handed him a %20 bill, and when it was refused he cast around to give a reward in some other way. "Look here," he said alter a bit, "there's four solid acres ot thistles over there belonging to me. 1 want 'em cut down and rooted out. I'll give you $10 an acre to do it, and you can get board with the farmer Just below." The next day the tramp went to work with scythe and spade, and It was a twenty-days' job he had. Three or four times in that stretch Judge Horner visited the field and tried to draw the worker out, but he did not succeed very well. On two occasions Miss Edith called him to the roadside fence to praise and pump, but all the information she got made a brief report to her father! "Say, papa, you know I studied Greek?" "It was some folderol like that, 1 believe." "And I can understand it quite well, and what do you think?" ' "I think you can't." "And yesterday when I was passing the ihistle-rield I heard our tramp swearing in Greek!" "Did, eh? Then I must warn him that all swearing around here must be done In English." It was the tramp's last day on his job when a strange auto rolled up to Judge Horton's mansion, and in hour later his honor and his visitor entered the field and walked up to the weary and sunburned toller. "Ames, I didn't think it was in you!" said the visitor as he held out his hand. "Father!" "We've kept a little track of you, you see." And Miss Kdith? Well a man has only to save a girl from a mad dog and hydrophobia, and then excite her curiosity and T omance, and what's the result?

That was three months before a county constable riding along a highway a hundred miles from the Chester home caught sight oi a tramp resting under a bush in the afternoon and called to him: "Move on, you, or I'll have you in jail!" "Oh, I don't know," was the indifferent reply. "But I do. I don't take sass from your sort!" The man with a nickle star pinned conspicuously to the Japet of his coat drew rein, pulled out a pair of handcuffs and advanced upon the tramp and reached out for him. Next moment he was standing on his head, his feet being held up in the air. He did some kicking and was turned endfor- end. He made some bluster and was tosaed into his buggy and the horse urged to hurry up and get somewhere. Then the tramp wandered along. He was hungry, and he would have stopped at the big house he soon came to and had a chat with the cook, except that he saw a girl in a ham* mock on the veranda. He wasn't exactly afraid that she would bite, b he bad on a blue woolen shirt^jHtiT a rough suit and hadn't shave**for four days.

T \ . -/ In making up a ration for cows it Is desirable to feed as much roughage as possible because it is usually the farmers' cheapest, feed. However, the capacity of the animal is limited, and we mutst he ruled by common sense. U is possible to balance a ration in protein, carbohydrate and fat with only coarse dry roughage which the com would not be able to consume in large enough quantities to produce a reasonable amount of milk. It is easy to balance a ration of grain alone which is also undesirable. The ration should be balanced in amount of roughage and grain as well as in protein, carbohydrate and fat. The amount of grain by weight should rarely equal the amount of dry roughage and should usually be less than one-half. This does not apply where *ujcb roughage as silage is fed, because silage contains more moisture and weighs heavier than other roughage. ORIGIN OF HOLSTEIN BREED Practically Same at Cattle Coming From Friesland Province in Northern Holland. The words Holsteln and llolsteln- Friesiau designate the same breed. At first there were two breed associations, one called the Ilolstein assocla tion, the other tfte Dutch-Friesiaji Association, but fc'r all practical purposes these associations represented the same breed. Friesland is a province in the northern part of Holland and these northern Hollanders have kept cattle from the earliest history. Holstein is a province in northern Germany, not far from Friesland.

K 4 It is considered better for a cow and her calf to give the cow a rest between her periods of lactation, says Hoard's Dairyman. From six to eight weeka is considered about right for a k*V. good -dairy cow, It is not wise, however, to force a persistent milker dry. Hare must be taken at this period or there is danger of the udder becoming caked and permanently injured. With a cow that persists in giving milk 12 months in the year it is well to decrease her ration and give her nothing but dry feed when she is nine and a half months along in her period ef lactation—that is, if she has been bred to calve 12 months from the beginning of her period of lactation. As a rule, it is not difficult to dry a cow off If pTOper attention is given at this period. IMPORTANCE OF THE BARREL months.

The teats should neither be too long nor too EbortTahd set square on the four quarters. ,. The texture of the udder should be like that of a soft glove, so that when it is milked out, it would collapse. The whole form should be wedge-shaped.

DAIRY Nores A laying hen requires more water than food. Don't let the cows out in the storms to stand around. It doesn't pay. The cows that produce the largest amounts of butter fat do it most economically. The calves shotild by all means be kept in clean, well lighted and ventilated stables. A gallon of cream testing 25 per cent, should churn a little over two pounds of butter. The object of cow testing and keeping record to Improve the herd and increase the output. The thermometer must be used as regularly in the dairy during the summer as during the winter. Bran is a very good feed for cows. It is light, palatable and rich in mineral matter, especially phosphorus. By intelligent breeding and care, most of the dairy herds can be brought up to double their production.

So if you attempt to use a bottle of medicine and get your fingers pricked by a notched piece of tin, remember it is a warning as to the contents of the bottle.

SBcForBoxatOniaslata SKIN SORES ( B y N . R. GILBERT.) Frequently poultry keepers"~ complain bitterly of the failure of their fowls to show profit, when the whole fault lies in defective housing. Poultry lead an entirely artificial life when they liye penned in a run, or even when at liberty and provided with a Bleeping-house—that is to say they have their food provided them and do not sleep in the trees, as their natural instinct would teach them. It is simply the difference between sleeping in a bouse and sleeping in trees that upsets them. When they do the latter, they may not lay well but they keep their health. More than half the diseases modern fowls suffer are caused primarily by this defective houBi&g. The chief requisites of a house are that it should be weather-proof, so that whatever the inclemency of the season, the fowls keep dry. It must be provided with ample ventilation and should have a sunny aspect. The sun is life to all animals, and the more fowls get of it, the better. Yet, sometimes, fowl - houses aro placed in dark, secluded corners, and built to admit hardly any light.

If the ground is quite level the rain off the roof shows a tendency t o remain in the form of puddles. A trench should be dug to carry it away, or better still, there should be a spout on the roof to carry the wet away down to a down spout connected with a surface drain. It is important that the ground around the house, as well as the house itself, be kept dry, as fowls never do well en wet land. Special attention should be paid to the roof, The eaves should overlap , "What are you embroidering, Vir- : ginia? Each etitch you take seema , a labor of love," said Mrs. Haynes. "Only a little gift for dear Mrs* Moffet. She has the most charming personality, and I'm glad to do It for hex." "How strange I never discovered it* To me she is one of those women who think it more blessed to receive than to give." "How about her son?" asked Arline. "Only the other day Bhe said that 'she only hoped her Bon would marry a congenial girl of good family some day.'" "Do you know the young man?* asked Mrs. HayneB. "No, but J hope to meet him in the near future. She i s so proud of him. He must be a splendid fellow." "Isn't she beautiful with her youth* ful face and that crown of snowy white hair," said Arline. "It's impossible to discover whether she's an old young looking, or young old looking person.'' "Girls," said Mrs. Haynes with an air of wisdom, "don't ever try to judge any one's age who lives in a hotel. If she had the trials of housekeeping and a big family to look after, maybe she would be smiling all the time." Later when Mrs. Moffet and Mrs. Haynes were seated opposite each other at the dining table, Mrs. Moffet Baid "there isn't any plausible reason Why all the young girls should be so attentive to me." "Aren't you fond of young people's society?" asked Mrs. Haynes. "Surely, I'm still young in.my ideas and can enter into all the feelings and emotions of a.younggirl's heart." "The maidens are not so innocent jnpw-aHdays. The way the girls try to coerce the boys into showing them a good time amuses me.

There is no necessity to cover the roof with felt, provided It receives a good dressing of tar at first and a further coat each year. On no account make the roof of corrugated zinc. Such a house will be cold in the winter and hot in the summer. If the poultry-keeper has some sheets of this very useful article—for such it certainly is—make a roof of thin boards and put the zinc on top. For the floor, the earth needs to be beaten down quite hard and a dressing of some Inches of sand or light dry earth put_on top. If the soil is clayey, it is better to have a wooden floor, for it must be dry. In any case, observe scrupulous cleanliness, removing all droppings on b e a w e e k a n d takingcare thereIs never any smell. Ventilation is a subject better nnderstood now than formerly. We indulge in more of it for ourselves and more for the fowls. Yet for them as for ourselves, we must not forget that , the thing can be overdone and that a good deal depends upon the location of the house and the outside temperature. • H i 21 25 IMPROVEMENT OF FARM EGGS Government Bulletin Contains Result of Careful Study of Industry In 8tate of Kansas, Every reader should read circular 141 entitled "The improvement of the Farm Egg" issued by the department of Agriculture, Washington, D.

Ever since I l arrived at this hotel I have been the j recipient of kindness from all the young ladies." I "I thought" answered Mrs. Haynes, , "that I overheard Arline and Virginia say you invited them to stay a oouple of weeks at your home in the country." j "Yes, *they accepted my cordial in- ! vitatlon instantly.

"Then they will have a chance t o 1 meet your son," Interposed Mrs. Haynes. "Only once or twice have I mentioned my personal affairs, but believe I told them that Clarence will be delighted to meet them and what a love* ly charming son he is." "They were wondering whether he was a professional man or lm business." "Absurd—I told them Clarence was nearly six feet tall and weighed 160 pounds, but I thought they knew he was only fifteen yearB old." After dinner Mrs. Moffet said, "Just received the latest novel. If yem see any of the young ladies will you ask them if they care to read aloud to me for an hour or so." When Mrs.Haynes repeated.the request to the girls each one offered their services. "I'd Just love to oblige Mrs. Moffet," said Arline. "Since when are you so obliging. I thought you said you were so fatigued," inquired Virginia, "now don't trouble yourself 111 read tonight as I have nothing else to do." "But before you decide which shall have the coveted honor, let me announce to you that the grand young man whom Mrs. Moffet has been raving about is only a lad fifteen years old." "The idea! I'm sorry, but I can't read aloud tonight," said Arline, ' 1 have a previous engagement" "Don't count on me," said Virginia* "I'm going to try some new music, Eva will be glad to accommodate her." "Certainly not," remarked Eva, "she's fooled us all long enough with, hints and suggestions about her charming son." Just then Mrs. Moffet glided in with * telegram in her hands. "Goodness!" she exclaimed, "my soo just wired that he Is going to spend the holidays with me here. I feared it was toe far (or aim to come during vacation."

It la a hair ceniury since Ericsson's Monitor was lauuched. We bar©. Just passed the anniversary of mat event. It was an evolution in the art of naval airinament which at the time seemed to promise a permanent change In theory and practice. What the Monitor did for us in the crisis which It was designed to meet is matter ot history, says the Boston i'ost. That low-lying, vicious craft was perhaps the salvation of our navy. Hut what a change in the years that have since elapsed! The Monitor type has gone to the scrap heap, and the masBlve, towering, stupendous dreadnought has taken its place. Torpedoboats have come in, followed by torpedo destroyers. And the range of naval operations has been extended. Every maritime nation has equipped Itself with submarines, and the very latest Is a submarine that can light above the water and descend with safety after delivering the fire of ita battery. Under the water and above the land In the air the power of destruction Is extending. What Is the end of this development of the means of devastation? Logically, la It not the establishment of universal peace as an International duty? Wherever the Romans lived In the days of the empire they carried luxury and art. They occupied for centuries a large part of the northern coast of Africa. It Is not surprising therefore to learn by a dispatch from Tripoli that a body of Italian troops digging trenches near the Oasis of Sclara, on the spot formerly occupied by Roman Imperial gardens, has unearthed an ancient Greek Venus of remarkable beauty. The head and arms are missing, but the torso is in excellent preservation and reminds beholders of the famous Capitol!ne Venus. The statue hag been sent to Rome, where It will be placed In the National ~rauseum_ in. nearlyevery spot where soldiers have tapped the ground to throw up defensive -works they have uncovered traces of the ancient Roman occupation of Tripoli, including tombs, mosaics and ruins of splendid vlllaB. There is a New York statute against the revelation by physicians of the secrets of the consultation room; but a New York judge has decided that it does not prevent a doctor from describing the services which he has performed when he finds it necessary to sue for the collection of his fee. In that" caseTTBe^Jdg^TuIes, the physician may proceed with his action, alleging anything and everything that la necessary, without either directly or Indirectly becoming liable for violation of the law. The dfclslon would seem to be reasonable^/K is a mean man w i n will refuse to pay a fair fee t< his doctor. A Greeley, Colorado, man claims to have perfected a seedless watermelon and is now experimenting with peanuts crossed with sweet peas. He expects to get bloBcoms and peanuts from the same—vines, the peanuts growing above ground Instead of In the earth. He has hopes of producing a succotash plant by crossing corn and beans, and looks forward to growing a breakfast food which will Include the qualities of coffee.

Aawsv vjfcaaf oft of defense; the custard MALL IS CENTER OF SCHEME Spring Has Come to the Potomac, and Birds, Trees and Flower Beds Are Beautifying the Parks and Streets. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington. Plans to make Washington a worthy capital are being pushed vigorously. When the Lincoln memorial dispute is ended other matters les.s controversial in nature will be taken up and decision made. ,H is not yet definitely decided just what form the memorial to-Abraham Lincoln will take, but the chances favor the erection of some lasting stone memorial near the Potomac river, virtually atthe head of what is called The Mall. This Mall, by the way, is a beautiful place. Eventually it will extend from a point on the river opposite Georgetown straight through to the capitol. It has a wide extent today, unbroken except by the Washington monument, some government buildings and by great trees. Before long, it is the firm belief of men charged with the beautifying of the city, that all the business buildings on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue will be removed and that there will be one great government park extending from the avenue to the river and from the capitol to the Lincoln memorial. This is spring in Washington. It was a late spring, but it came finally, and with it on its march up the Potomac came the birds from the south, who instantly took up temporary, and in some cases, permanent, residence in Rock Creek park, This beautiful park will enter Into the scheme of the comprehensive beautifying scheme of the city. Kventually there will be a broad park ~5eTf7vlrtually surrounding the capitol of the nation. When it is understood that in the city itself there are a score or more of small parks, and that every avenue and nearly every street has its double line of shade trees, some adequate idea can • be obtained of the eventual beauty of tlik J'ojomac^ city. N o M F r ^ M o n i t r M i t y Monuments. Every effort will be made to prevent the erection in Washington of any more "monstrosity monuments." Some of the public memorials erected here in honor of men dead and gone are an honor neither to the sculptors, to the i>eople, nor to the men whose deeds ihey are supposed to commemorate. Almost anything In the old days in the way of a monument used to pass the censors of art, Today it is virtually Impossible to get anything by the critics except that which is eminently worthy, for the "board of approval" is composed of men who know excellence when they meet It. Volumes have been written about the "art" of Statuary Hall in the capitol. It Is probable that all' the marble and bronze memorials there are there to stay, for it would be regarded perhaps as an insult to the legislators of the states which voted these memorials to suggest that they be taken out and replaced by others. Nature will beautify Washington in a few days. No statuary is needed here to make the city beautiful in late March and all of April, May and June. The trees on the avenues largely are flower bearing. It may be said that all trees blossom, but those in the main in Washington are of a kind which bear blossoms of size and fragrance. The small parks from now on will be flower beds with a constant succession of changes of coverlids. The crocuses come, then the hyacinths, then the tulips, and then the flowers of midsummer in constant change and alwaysin profusion. Two Bold Senators, When Gen. WInfield Scott Hancock as a presidential candidate said "the tariff is a local Issue" he said what since has proved to be true, although, as everybody knows, he was laughed at at the time for his "lack of appreciation of the real facts in the case." There are other local issues besides the tariff and chief among them is the matter of public buildings for the cities, towns and villages of the country. This matter just now is engaging the attention of the United States senate, although in haste let it be said that the senate is in no wise anxious to have the subject pressed upon it. A few days ago Senators Lea and Kenyon, one a Democrat and the other a Republican, acting together, asked for reconsideration of bills which had been presented by other senators for the erection of public buildings in two or three small towns In the west. The action of these two senators was bold and unprecedented, lor be It known that the senators by agreement in the past have not been in the habit of Interfering with one another's attempts to secure fine postoffices, fine federal court buildings and fine customs houses for the towns of their home states. Py a sort of a joint agreement the senate has allowed its members t6 do pretty much as they chose iff the pub lie building approprialkm matter, the thought being apparently. "If I don't Interfere 'with'" another senator, the other senator won't interfere with me wheif'l want something of a like kind buildings bills Are no respecters of parties. Whether t h e HepubUcans or the Democrats are in control of either house, the public buildings bill nearly always gets its innings. Postoffices and court houses erected at government expense ana presenting u fine appearance architecturally always have been looked upon as good vote-getters. It is said that many congressmen owe their return to Washington to the fact that they have "dune so much fur tnelr districts." It is possible for a member to make no effort to familiarize himself with matters of great national concern, and to take no active part in the debates on momentous questions, and yet to commend himself to his constituents because he has been so active In sending them garden seeds, looking alter private pension matters and above all, being active in getting appropriations for federal buildings which would be an ornament to the "public square." The real trouble seems to be that in hundreds of cases the buildings which have been provided are altogether too large lor the service intended, and costly beyond right. There are some villages in the United States holding only a handful of people which have finer public buildings than places of thirty times their size. The difference in the structures represents the difference either in influence ot the lepresentatives of the different districts, or in the way in which they view their public duties. Some meD give their whole time to the greater affairs of state, while others are con tent to give time and energy only to local matters. As for the quality of statesmanship presented by these twc courses, the people must take their choice. Hughes as a Dark Horse. There have been hints from time to time in Washington that there Is a possibility that the progressives and the conservatives of the Republican party, if they should get into a dead lock condition at Chicago over the nomination for the presidency, might turn for a compromise candidate to the supreme bench and nominate Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes. There is not one chance in a thousand, perhaps, that this will happen, for it is, said that Mr. Hughes hap heard the rumor that such a thing might be proposed and has "handed down a decision" against it in advance.

Not long ago congress passed a bill which gives Uncle Sam the right to take over tor forest reserve purposes tracts of lands in the White Mountains of New Hampshire and in two or three slates o_f_ the southern Appalachian region, in a week or two the commission which has this matter in charge will report on certain sections which it is thought wise for the government to take over in order to save the forests, to preserve the natural scenic beauty and to keep equable the flow of the streams which are used for navigation arid for water power for manufacturing purposes. Thousands of people go to the White Mountains in summer to spend their vacations. This statement will not startle anyone by its novelty, but there may he something new in the knowledge that the people who go to New Hampshire for the beauty of the scenery and the purity of the air spend $8,000,000 in that state in the months before the leaves of the forestst take on the color of the expended gold. Plans of the Government. Congress was told not long ago that the tide of summer travel actually was beginning to turn away from New Hampshire because the mountains were being robbed of their tree glories by the hand of trade, and that the mountain streams were losing their waters, the rapids were becoming rills and the depths were becoming murmuring shallows. Of course, not the entire forested mountain country of New Hampshire can be preserved by the government of the United States. The intention seems to be t o take over 1,000,000 acres and to care for the reserve under such regulations as best may be provided for the reforesting of the waste places and for protection of the water supply. It must not be understood that lumbering operations will be stopped by the fact that Uncle Sam is to become a land owner in the Appalachian region north and south. It does follow, however, that only such lumbering operations will be allowed as will Increase rather than decrease the supply of wood for commercial purposes; This statement may seem to contain contradictory propositions-,' but it does not. The government maintains that when a tree-Is properly cut the operation makes two trees grow where one grew before. Last year forest fires In the United States destroyed $20,000,000 worth of property. The government now is cooperating with such states as ask cooperation for the prevention of forest fires. Several states have availed themselves ot the opportunity to get government aid. The government gives its help only in sections where the forests guard the water supply of navigable streams. Under the Constltutlnn thin was the only way in which the government eould act with the states, for Uncle Sam has charge of streams which are navigable in any part of their course.

Delegates to Republican national convention favoring the nomination of Theodora Roosevelt were overwhelmingly defeated at New York state primaries in every district where they opposed candidates designated by the regular Republican organization and claimed by the followers of Taft. The Taft campaign managers declared at least SI) of New York's 90 delegates would go to Chicago favoring the president's renominatlon. This estimate includes the four delegates-at-large to be chosen at the state convention on April 9. The remaining seven delegates were designated by the regular district organizations but conceded to Col. Roosevelt. Col, Roosevelt lost the only two fights his supporters made "upstate," and the returns from the 15 contested districts in New York city and lxmg Island gave his opponents—Taft men —a plurality averaging more than two to one. "It can be said from the most conservative angle that the results point practically to a solid Taft delegation from New York," said John W. Hutchinson. Jr., director of the eastern branch o f t h e n atj onal T a f L_b_u re an. Mr. Hutchinson said the seven Roosevelt delegates probably would -be the~four chosen from the:Tweiityfourth and Twenty-fifth districts, which are controlled .by National Committeeman Wm. L. Ward, City Controller Prendergast of Brooklyn, former Congressman Lucius N. Lit'tauer of the Thirtieth district, and Percy P'._ :¾jjiiams_ c f the ..Thirty-Becond di s- •ir4elv—^vteasTB:—PreTi d e rj^Mtr^aiiltrLtrH auer, he said, are strong personal friends of the colonel,-and Mr. Williams' district was strongly -opposed to Taft's reciprocity stand. Col. Roosevelt's supporters now are expected to concentrate their attention on the.;gtate convention ia an e£* fort to prevent the Taft men from sending to Chicago an instructed delegation.. The primary law in operation did not permit specific instruction orMKfe tfetegatos at the time they were elected. The leaders concede that the action of the New York delegation Will be influenced somewhat by the .results in other states »that hold prima'rtes or conventions during the interval before the New York convention. The Roosevelt campaign managers confined 'their statements to declarations regarding the contusion that reigned in New York City from the RIOT IN ROCK ISLAND Three Men Killed and Mine Wounded In Political Riot. An unsuccessful attempt was made to assassinate Mayor Bchriver, who is blamed tor the political riot in Rock Island, 111., in which three men were killed. The would-be assassin fired a rifle bullet from the top of a high building, two squares away, into the window of Mayor SchriverVi office. The bullet went wide of its mark. The situation is ominous. The political animosities that are at the bottom of the rioting have broken out afresh in the circulation of recall petitions directed against the, mayor aiwl Police Commissioner Hart and the friends of I lie men and those opposed to them euga^ed in heated controversies throughout the day. A report sent to the governor says threats of further rioting had been made. The rioting continued practically unchecked for three hours. The police said there were more than 5,000 persons in the mob which surged through iho downtown streets, pulling car trolleys from the wires, overturning wagons and in other ways seeking to block public thoroughfares resulting in the death of three men and the wounding of nine persons.

New Law Affects 498 School Districts There are 498 of the 7,333 school districts In Michigan that will not share in the next apportionment of the primary .school fund this year, Superintendent, of Public Instruction L. 1.. Wright has compiled figures which still are incomplete but shows the actual number of districts that will be affected by the law passed at the last regular session of the legislature and which provided that any school district in .t.li£__siate ..having, enough primary school money on hand to pay teachers' Mages for two years could not share in any primary school apportionment. Twenty-seven scliool districts in Wayne county will be affected, as follows: Dearborn township, -three districts: Gratiot, three: Kcorse, one: Greenfield, eight; Hamtramck, four; Huron; three, Livonia, four; Redford, one; Romulus, four; Springwells! one; Sumpter, three, and Taylor, two. The number of school districts affected is not as great as was expected. A large number of the 49S districts have large amounts of money on hand and the total of their surplus will amount to several thousand dollars. These figures, however, are not yet complete.

I knew he must have seen one before; but I juat went on •questioning, to gain time, you know, -Had wondering ail the while how I should ever be able to break the truth to the poor fellow. 'Tell me again what he waa like," 1 -eaJd. "How did you know he waa a Chinaman?" . "Why, by his long black pigtail, »!r, and his onery color. But I never saw no Chinaman as ugly as this one —no sir. Oh, he waa juat too awful horrid to look at, sir. His forehead atoned away back, or maybe the front part of bit head being all shaved made it look that way. And the skin about his eyes waa painted white with. red streaks shooting around like rays of light.' .__ ' "No beard or muatache, I suppose?" I suggested, feeling my own smoothly, and I patted his knee. "Doesn't make a Jolly bit of difference to me, personally. Just told you because I thought you ought to know. You Just go right along and continue your duties, so far as I am concerned." Jenkins' hand slipped along his knee and ventured to touch mine timidly. He rose heavily. "Mr. Lightnut, sir," he said huskily, "if you're not going to need me very much, could I be excused for a while tonight?" "By Jove, yes, Jenkins! Go out and enjoy the evening; it will do you good. Stay as long as you like, dash it! You know I dine tonight at the club. Go to a roof garden and get some fresh air." A toss of the head broke Jenkins' calm; his fist struck his palm. "It ain't that, sir," he exclaimed. "1 don't want no fresh air, but I do want fresh resolution and a fresh start. I'm going to find him." "Him!" I was startled, Dash me. 1 half thought he meant the Chinaman. "Him, sir; that temperance lecturer, I mean. I'm going to get out a paper against that old enemy there!" And he shook his fist at the whisky decanter. shaven face. Jenkins' reply was a Hurprlse; "Yes, sir; there were long black kiad of rat tails that dropped down from, the sides of his mouth,. And then hla neck—ugh—all thick with woolly hair." _... "OSP it w a l 7 e h ? : ^ i a l d gfjiy, thinking of the long red stripe that my collar concealed. "I suppose you felt tills, eh, when you Jumped at his throat?" Jenkins rubbed his chin with a puzzled air. "Why, that's uncommon queer, sir; but now that you remind me, I do remember that his neck fejt perfectly smooth—and it wasn't so big, either. Why, I should say it felt Just about like yours would, sir." , F eyed him ruefully. "By Jove, I don't-doubt it a minute!" I commented with some disgust. "Wellr go ©th with your yarn. You were telling, when I interrupted, about rushing into my bedroom." "Yes, sir," he resumed with animation. "And when I didn't find you, 1 was Just frantic, for I didn't know you had gone out, sir—never thought of that; I went for the ugly monster with the big pistol there in the cabinet— which, by the way, sir, the low down villain stole when he locked me up and lit out." I had an Inspiration. "I see," I broke in carelessly; "and then you demanded to know where i w a s - t h a t it? Then you backed him to that window, and he told you he had chucked me into the street— whereupon you tried to blow off bis Head TBid KnoTSfced^the Jolly daylighta out of the lady with the fencing foil."

" H o w - ^ "And when you dropped the weapon," I went on, "this chap collared it, Jabbed the beastly thing into you, and told you to look at him. And by Jove, you wouldn't!" Jenkins groaned slightly. The apologetic cough with whleh he strove to mantle the sound was dry and spiritless. "So, sir; It seemed easier to die, sir,'1 he muttered—"what with him grinning like a fiend and his long teeth a-sticking out over his Up— ugh!" Then he added wonderingly: "But what gets mala how you should know, sir." X looked at him gravely. "Jenkins," I said gently, "I know, because it so happens I was here all the time." His eyes bulged incredulously. "You, sir? You mean in this room?" I nodded slowly. "I mean right In -this room—I was a witness of the whole thing." Jenkins Just gulped. I motioned to A chair. "You may sit down, Jenkins, my poor fellow," I said compassionately, rl poured out some whisky and gave It to him. "You must brace yourself for a treat shock, my poor Jenkins,". I said soothingly.

That you, Ughtnut?' came trtrvotce."Say, old chapv you reraember you said you wouldn't mind putting up the kid overnight on the way home from college. Remember?

Don*r go to any trouble, now, nor alter any plans. The kid will probably bo dead feet sent my chair thudding hackward. "Why—er—good evening," I managed to stammer. Juat managed, you know, for, give you my word, I never was so bowled over in my life— never! And on the instant I gueBsed what it meant. The "kid" that Billings referred to wasn't a kid brother at all, but a kid sister -girl, by Jove! "Are you busy?" I saw the flash of her perfect little teeth as her lips parted in a smile. "If not, may I talk to you a while?" I mumbled something designed to be pleasant—dash me if I know what —and managed to summon sense enough to lift toward her a wicker arm-chair. Then I dashed Into my bedroom to chuck the smoking-Jacket and get into a coat. And all the while I was thinking harder than I ever had thought it possible. Just the thing to have expected of an ass like Billings—a fellow with no sense of the proprieties! His kind of mind had never got any further than the fact that I had a guest-room and a quiet apartment. The further fact that it was in a bachelor apartment house and I a bachelor—and not yet out of my twenties, dash it—would never have presented itself to a chump like Billings as having any bearing on the matter. "Of course, I must get right over to the club and leave her in possession— it's the only thing left to do." This waa my thought as I slipped into my coat and gave my hair a touch—Juat a touch, don't you know. The thing to do was to carry It off as naturally as possible for a few minutes, and then slip away. Probably she hadn't counted upon my being in town at all —had taken it for granted it was some sort of family apartment—with housekeeper, servant maids, all-that sort of thing. — "Now-, Just a few mtrrutea xst~conversation to put her at her ease," I reflected, "and then I'm off.

By Jove, it t i g too much for me: my W r l i M . JonttnaV' I MM kiadtired and off to bed before you get home from your dinner." "That's all right, old chap; Jenkins will look after the young one." I heard Billings chuckle—1 remembered that chuckle afterward. "Not much of the young one there. Eighteen, you know. iCever off to school, though, until last year—and by George, it was time! Between my mother and my sister the kid was being absolutely ruined—pet**3<l, molycoddied, and was getting soft and silly— oh, something to make you sick. Well, so much obliged. Dicky. You know what these hotels are. Good-by." I explained to Jenkins. "All right, sir," he said. "I won't go out until after nine. It'll be time enough." And so I went off. I returned early, about ten, and sat reading. Jenkins was still away, and the door of my guest room was open. "Good evening!" *">"» vnlfta hflhlnri met waa aftft, nan. slcal, delicious. I whirled about, and there, within the door, leaning against the frame. was the most beautiful creature 1 ever saw In all my life, A girl! But oh, by Jove, such a girl!

The leer/ that brocsjfct mo do my the janitor's wife to come up and stay near her." And I dashed back, murmuring some jolly rubbish of apology. And then I Just brought up speechless—almost fell over backward. For as she stood there under the light, I saw that what I had taken for a dress of black silk was not a dress at all, but a suit or pajamas—black, filmy pajamas, whose loose elegance concealed but could not wholly deny the goddess-like figure within. "I'd have known you anywhere, Mr. Lightnut." And then I found that we were shaking hands, my Angers crushed in a grasp I never could have thought possible from that tiny hand. "Prom hearing Jack talk, your name is a sort of household word in the Billings family." I mumbled something jol^y i d i o t i c - some acknowledgment. But I was pink about the ears, and I knew it, whllfl ah ft warn Mini and M ^ » t B t t And her eyes looked at me through those drooping lashes oh, such a way! "Oh, no I assure certainly not," I stammered hastily. Dash It, I never was wo rebuked and mortified in all my lite. What an ass 1 hud been to beem to notice at all! She looked troubled. "Say, do you mind my wearing them?" she Inquired. "I? Certainly not well, I should say not!" I retorted, almost with indignation. "Sure?" Uy Jove, what rlpplug eyes she had! "Of course not!" emphatically. Her sunny head nodded satisfaction. "That's all right, then. I Waa afraid you wouldn't like it—afraid you would think I waa acting a little free. But your man Jenkins—isn't that his name? said he thought you woo Id like for me to wear them." 1 gasped. "Jen—what's that?" I was amazed, indignant at Jenkins' effrontery. "He —he suggested that you wear—er~- She nodded, her glorious eyes shinins wistfully. 'You see, I went to a frat dance last night in Cambridge," she explained; "and in the hurry this morning, somehow, one of my bags—a Bult-caae— was left behlud. And when I got here tonight and began piling the things out of my other bag—well, I saw I was up a tree. Not a thing to slip into, you know--not so much as a dressing-gown or even a bathrobe. Then your man saved, my life—suggested these pajamas. See?" "Oh, I see!" I said so; but, dash it, I wasn't sure I did, for I knew so devilish little about girts. "I must cut along now," I thought; "ipfernal shame to be taking advantage of her this way!" And then I thought I would Just wait a wee minute longer. Just then she turned toward me, her elbow on the arm of the wicker chair, her dainty, manicured fingertips supporting her chin. "You know, Mr. Lightnut, I wasn't sure you would remember me at all," she said. "I was such a kid when you saw me last." "Oh, yea," I said, trying-to recall the rather hoydenish children I had seen on the motor trip to Billings' home Ave years before. "I remember you were quite a little girl—weren't yoifc?^- I thought her face darkened a little; thenher-smHe"flashed throughr l!ke~ snnrshlTierTbreugfi-a? cloud. Her laugh came on top, like the mellow ripple of a tiny brook—that sort of thing—oh, you know! "Oh, I say now, Mr. Lightnut, cut out the Josh," she remonstrated; and I thought Bhe grew a little red.

Greeted Along the Line o*f His Rush Across the State by Big Crowds Anxious to See and Hear H i m . Col. Koosevell addressed a K'eat crowd in the Li^ht (iuard armory, Detroit, Saturdav ni^hi. Me spoke for jusi. an hour and while there were numerous flashes of enthusiasm, for the moat part lie was lisienrd lo witli respectful attention. Probably the most pointed statement he made was his admission that while president he had seized the Panama canal strip instead of waitinu for con- Kressional action. Li was expected that lie would have Homething to say about the recall of judicial decisions ami lie did at some length, but instead of reiterating his Columbus utterances he simply advocated a referendum on state- court interpretations of state constitutions in cases where it is found that they prevent the carrying out of laws in the interests of social justice, The colonel lauded the progressive members of congress for passing the* rate bill and scored the commerce court as a mischievous institution, lie also took occasion to say a good word for City Clerk Nichols, of Detroit, in this connection he declared that lie had not atsked a human being to support him, for the reason that he knew they would be threatened with political extinction, and for that reason was proud of the support of such a man as Nichols, Nor did the colonel forget to mention the fact that the legislature had you bet your life, and all the slushlness you get from trying to bo-Hk«- your sisters. Shucks!" I caught my breath. Of course, she had no idea how it sounded—this sort of talk; it was just her Innocent frankness, her—what d'ye call it?— her ingenuousness—dash It! She continued musingly: "(lee, but I was soft when I first went away—a regular pie-faced angel-chlld!" Her voice had in it a sneer. Then she straightened up, whirled her chair facing me, and gave me a sounding slap on the knee. "Say, maybe the fellows I met didn't educate that out of me mighty quick! Well, I reckon yes!'' And she nodded, eying me sidewise, her pretty chin in the air. But, dash me, I was so aghast I couldn't get out a word. Just sat there batting at her and turnlug hot and cold by turns.

Hadn't any sisters myself, don't you know, and never had learned much about other fellows' sisters; but, dash It, 1 knew something about faces, and I would have staked my life on hers. You can nearly always tell, you know. But, anyhow, I thought I had better go now. I got tip. "I say, you want to Just make yourself at home," I said. "And if you don't mind, I'll see you at the boat in the morning." She stood up, too, looking rather surprised. "You're not going away?" "Oh, no; not out of town." I thought that was what she meant. I added: "And as I go out, I'll stop down-stairs and have some one come up and stay with you." She dropped to the arm of the chair, her pretty face showing dismay. "Oh, but see here! I'm running you off—I know I am. Say, Mr. Lightnut, I don't want to do that. I thought ' sure you were going to be here. Brother insisted you would be." Brother! Nice brother, Indeed, for her—poor little thing! "Oh, you'll be all right," I said reassuringly. "I'm Just going over to the club, don't you know—not far away." She came right up to me and placed a hand on each shoulder. "HoBejt Injun, now," she said—and -c: lily of the what-you-calMt, don't you know. I was trying not to see the pajamas, trying to pretend not to no* tlce them, but dashed If I didn't only make It worse! For she looked down at herself with a laugh—rather an embarrassed laufh, I thought; and her little shrug and* glance directed attention to her attire. "I see you're looking at the pa- Jamas," she said smiling. her smile waa ravishing. "Honest, now, Mr. Lightnut, you're going Just because I'm here. Say now, own np!" And, dash it, there was nothing to do but admit it. (TO BR TfTNTINtTErV) Need Original Thinkers.

A tew years ago this question was debated, and some doubted the value of spraying. Not so now. Every one, whether farmer or fruit grower, has seen the results of spraying, and seeing is believing. The spring spraying is the most valuable one, for it cleans the trees up thoroughly just before they start tbe new season. The same thing that enables the large growers to raise perfect fruit will also help the smaller. When the largest growers find it necessary to spray, and thereby grow nice fruit, bow can any one deny that spraying pays? The trees will not even stay alive unless sprayed, and kept free from the scale, etc., and neither will the fruit amount to anything. The question is not "Doea spraying pay?" but instead is, "Shall I raise nice froit?" The Largest Growers Everywhere Use Rex Liwje and Sulphur Solution.

Here are a few facts about it. The demand for winter wheat flour is decreasing every year because of the fact that the people of this country are buying bakers bread. Now if everybody was to use the bakers product and not make bread or biscuits the consumption of flour would bej far below what it is today Here is another point; the demand for bran and middlings is increasing every year on account of tbe increase of tbe dairy business. Toucan figure it out for yourself Mr. Con. Burner. You can help by using winter wheat flour and making yonr own bread thus creating a demand for the flour. Unless we sell the flour we cannot make the bran and middlings. Now wears doing a good business and are not knocking our customers, but we could do more and so could any other mill in Michigan or any other state.

I queried. "Where Is 1 It JF I t . . it's it, sir," said Jenkins in an roice. "It ain't here." "Why, dash it, I .saw you strike the soaetv'right where you're holding that chdr." "Mr. Lightnut, sir"--Jeuklns spoke a tittle huskily and glanced around at me.queerly—"will you look under the end of this stick and see it: you see what' I see?" I clinibed down and examined cautiously. "Why, liy Jovo, it's- the little spider!" I exclaimed, surprised. "Exactly, sir; what's left." Jenkins took a deep breath. T h a n k you, sir—it's a great relief," be sighed. " E h ! " "I tne-an, sir, I'm glad I ain't the o*ly OH« who thought he saw that other, it's some comfort." Jenkins spoke gloomily. ' "Thought you saw?" I repeated. Rut Jenkins only shook his head as h« gathered up the remains of the^ spader and consigned them to a cus- -pfslor. "You meaa—say, what tho devil ds> you mean?'' I asked sharply. Jenkins straightened with air respectful but solemn. "Mr. Lightnut, sir," he began gravely, "there's a party lectures on the fttroet corner every night at nine on i k e fearful consequences of tho drink habit, and passes around blank pledges to be signed. J'm going to get one first chance; and if you will Accept It, sir—meaning no offense—1 woald be proud to get you one, too." I stared at him aghast. "6ft, I sa**now," I murmured faintly, "you don't think it was that, do you?" Jenkins' Tare was eloquent enough. T m through, sir," he said sadly. "When It comes to seeing things like lhat—" Ue lifted his eyes. "No more for ene, sir; my belief is, it's a warning— yes, sir, that's what, a warning." , 1 «»ollapsed into a chair. **By Jove, Jenkins!" I said, trying t o go n feeble smile.

They looked jolly rlghtJEEom. ever? point, Moreover, with all their easy looseness, there was not ah inch too much. They had a comfortable, personal feel. •"laicky ttfing they weren't made' originally for some whale like Jack Billings—eh, Jenkins?" I commented naming ly. Behind his hand Jenkins indulged in what is vulgarly known as a snicker. "Mr. Hillings, sir, he couldn't get o n e shoulder in 'em, much less a— Vfc—tag'," he chuckled. "They'd be in ribbons air!" I yawned sleepily, and Jenkins infttjsfitiy sobered to attention. He held his finger over the light switch as 1 peached a pillow and rolled over on t h e mattress. "Alt.right," I said; "push the jolly Using out." And with a click darkness feii. about me. •"Good nlg%t, sir,' came Jenkins* Tolce softly. ""Night," I murmured fnintlv, and l w a s off.

Jenkins himself popped into I lie room. "Did you ring, sii and advanced quickly. And (hen, before 1 could think about it to reply, lie halted suddenly, almost pitching forward. Then, witli a kind <>£ wheezy how], he sprang to the wall. Next instant, I was blinking under the dazzling electrolier. "Here, I say! Shut off that lie;ht!" I remonstrated, hall' blinded. I heard a swift rush across tlm rugs, and the next thing I knew 1 was roughly jerked from out my chair; strong lingers clutched my throat, and I found myself glaring into a frightened but. resolute face. "Jen-Jenkins!" I tried to gasp, but only a gurgle came. 1 was so taken unawares, I knew it must be some dashed dream. Perhaps another minute, and i would wake up. Hut he gripped me tighter and shook me like a rag. "Hay, who are you?" he hissed. "How did you get in here?" And then, of course, i knew that he was crazy. Whether he was crazy in a dream or crazy with me awake, I couldn't guess. It made very little difference, anyhow, for I knew that in another minute 1 should be either dream dead or real dead; and dash me if I could see any odds worth tossing for in either, you know. But I don't belong to the athletic club quite for nothing, and have managed to pick up a few tricks, you know. So with the decision to chuck the dream theory, I shot my leg forward with a mix-up and twist that made Jenkins loosen his clutch and stagger backward. "What's the matter with you?" 1 gasped, advancing toward "hint, "Are you trying to murder me?" Hut 1 was so hoarse, the only word that came out plainly was "murder.'' Jenkins uttered a howl. "Help, Mr. Lighlnut! Murder!" "You old fool!" 1 cried, exasperated. "Come here!" Ue was coming. He seized a light chair and swung it behind his head. Then he rushed me with a shout. "Oh, Mr. Llghtnut!" "(lone (dear off his nut!" was my thought. As he swung the chair, I ducked low, and man and chair went crashing to the floor. Hut he was up again in a Jiffy and dancing- a t me~ "Mr. IJghtnut, sir, why don't you help me?" "Help you—you jolly idiot?" I muttered indignantly. Then my voice raised: "I've a mind to kill you!" With a yell, ho made a kangaroo jump and swung at me again. "He says he's going to kill me, Mr. Lightnut!" he panted as I dodged again. "Help me—wake up, sir!" Wake- up? Wake up, Indeed, when 1 had never been so devilish wide awake in *all my life! i was sure now about that. I moved toward him cautiously. "Stop your row!" I cried angrily; "you'll have somebody in. Think 1 want the police up here?" With a glare at me, Jenkins darted past me to the bedroom I had just left. Its light switch clicked, and then back through the brightened doorway he sprang and dashed for a wall cabinet at the Bide, lie began tugging at its little drawer. And suddenly I i^membered the revolver there, an old forty-five from a friend In Denver—and loaded! My spring to Intercept him was quick, but not quick enough! Halfway to him f pulled up under the compelling argument of the long blue barrel pointed at my head. "Here! Look out, you fool—it's loaded!" I warned, backing away to the window. Jenkins advanced. "What have you done with him^-nev panted hoarsely. •Where is he-?'1' "Where's who?" I asked savagely, for I was getting devtlish tired of it all. Hut ttr tha puMletty, I should have yelled from the window. "Where's Mr. _Ughtnut?" he demanded. "Oh, he's all right.* I decided to adopt that soothing tone that I Bad read somewhere was the proper caper with lunatics. "Where?" Jenkins Insisted, pushing nearer. And dashed if I knew what to answer; for, if I made a mistake, It might be serious, by Jove! Perhaps some jocular reply would be s a f e s t - might divert his attention, you know. The open window gave me an idea. "Why, do you know," I said pleasantly, "I just chucked him down into the street." . It soolidsd like a cannon .cracker, that gun! Tne shower of splintered glass from the picture between the windows barely missed me. Out 1 never waited a second—for this last devilish straw was too much, don't you know, and something had to be "I've jus*t iiad enough of this, you fool!" 1 cried impatiently. "Jl-ere, take a good look at me!" I pushed my face closer. "Lojjk at me, 1 toll you!" Hy Jove, he shuddered! His eyes, wide distended with terror, rolled to the ceiling, "I can't," he whispered; "J just lie inquired, j can't anything hul that! Only, please •--pbjase don't kill me, too." "Kill you?" 1 said, irowuiiig sternly as lie gave a furtive glance. "1 cer- IDEAS FOR DESSERTS BY H E N R I E T T A D. GflAUEL, DOMESTIC SCIENCE LECTURER.

"All right, then," he said sullenly; "you may kill me!" 'J" he way with these lunatics, 1 thought. Next tiling, he would be begging and insisting That I kiil him. I motioned to the door of my guestroom and gave him a push, "In there," I said, "and keep perfectly quiet." And as he shot inside, I closed the door and locked it. 1 just had to take the chance of his hurting himself against the walls and furniture; 1 didn't believe he was so crazy he would undertake ihe six-story leap to the ground. Listening, i heard something like a sob. Then I caught my name. "Poor Mr. Lightnut," came chokingly; "the kindest, gentlest master!" And then more sobs and gulps. iJy Jove, under his insane delusion, the poor beggar was grieving lor me; not thinking of himself at all, you know. ] felt my eyes jfrow a bit moist, somehow, and all at once my heart went heavy. Thought how long poor old Jenkins had been with me— ever since I was out of college, you know—rive years—and remembered how devilish faithful and attached he had always been. Poor old Jenks! It Was awful Itts going off this way! I recalled how he had taken to seeing things, earlier In the evening, and had made me see them, too, dash It! One thing I determined: whatever had to be done with him, he should have the llnest of attention, I knew that I ought to telephone to somebody or something, but dashed if I had any idea who or where. Oddly enough, not a soul seemed to havo been roused by the pistol shot, but I saw by the little clock that it was close to three—the hour in a bachelor apartment house when everybody is ing to the operator. "I say, will you give me •information?'" A loud shout suddenly sounded from behind the closed door, and there came a frantic double-pounding of lists. "Mr. Lightnut- Mr. Lightnut!" screamed Jenkins. "Oh, Mr. Lightnut, you're back—you're alive—I can hear your voice! This is Jenkins, Mr. Lightnut; yes, sir, Jenkins. They've got me locked in ! " I flapped the receiver on the hook and sprang to the door, unlocking it, Jenkins almost tutu bled into my arms. Hy Jove, for a second 1 hung in the wind, he acted tro crazy still; at least, it seemed so just at first:. The fellow threw his arm about my neck and iaughed- laughed and cried, dash i t - a n d just wringing my hands and carrying on—- Oh, awful! And even when I got him into a chair, he just sat there laughing and crying like a jolly (dd silly, patting my hand, you know, and wiping his eyes, what time they were not devouring me. "Has he gone, sir?" be gasped husj kily. "Did he jump from the window?" Hut I waved all questions aside. "After you've had some sleep," I insisted. "Then I'll tell you the whole jolly story." And I just got him to his room myself, despite his distress and protests over my attention. "Thank you, sir, and good night," he said as 1 left him. And he murmured placidly, "I guess we're all right now." Hut I was not so sure as to him, when I viewed the broken chair and scattered fragments of glass—ominous reminders of the scene through which I had passed. And so, though I threw the pistol on top of a bookcase, I spent the rest of the night upon the soft cushions of "ray big divan. CHAPTER IV. Jenkins Declares for the Water Wagon.

Bonny-clabber is a delicious, healthful, and easily made dessert; it should be eaten as soon as made, beforo it becomes tart or tough, with cream and sugar. Put fresh skimmed milk into a glass dish, cover and set in a warm place; when it turns, that is, becomes a smooth, firm, cake like cup-custard, serve in the same dish. Cut out each, helping with a large spoon, and put in saucers, cover with powdered suf;ar, mixed with nutmeg, cover with rich cream or whipped cream. This is still better if net on ire for an hour before serving, but do not let it stand until it separates into curd and whey. Mountain custard or Alpine Junket was made years ago witli rennet; now there are lactic tablets on the market that answer far better for this purpose; they come in packages oi eight or (en, and one tablet will acidulate a quart of milk. They are highly esteemed by medical men. I To make the mountain custard, put one tablet in a quart of milk, season with vanilla or lemon, nutmeg and two tablespoons of sugar. Cover and keep in a warm kitchen; in a few hours it will be firm as tdanc-mange. Serve in the same way as the bonnyclabber. Thickened milk is an old-time dessert for the little folks in the nursery or for convalescents. Boil a quart of milk, add two tablespoons of cornstarch, wet with cold milk. Stir it into the hot milk and keep stirring while it gradually thickens. Flavor cream with vanilla and nutmeg; when ready to serve, sprinkle sugar on each helping and pour on the flavored cream. Cottage cheese Is one of the rewards that come to families who keep a cow; even so small a quantity of milk as a pint may be utilized in this wholesome article of diet. Use rich milk that is freshly soured; heat it until the whey rises to the top; pour this off, put the curd Jn a bag and let It drip withofit squeezing, When it has drained quite dry chop in a wooden bowl until fine grained; salt and continue working until like putty, add,a little cream and softened butter as you proceed. Mold into pats or balls and keep covered in a cool place. It is best when just fresh made. t Neufchatel cheese is made with sour cream to which a little salt is added; after it is well drained it is packed into a wooden measure with holes in the bottom and a snug fitting lid weighted down upon it. The weight must be heavy enough tQ-eempress t h e cheese so that'Vlieli it is removed, after several hours, it will be fine In texture, like'butter. This may be wrapped in oiled paper or cheese cloth and kept a week, or longer. Mrs. D. J.

Whipped cream serves for the dressing. Carronoil for Burns. No kitchen outfit Is complete without a bottle of carronoil. This is no new concoction. It is an old remedy, whose equal for soothing and healing burns has not yet been found. The preparation is sometimes found under other names, but can easily be made at home by mixing equal parts of raw linseed oil and lime water. An •emergency bottle should always be a t hand in case of danger from too close contact with steam or heat of any kind. Housekeepers in country districts where medical aid is difficult to obtain will find this recipe invaluable. Mother's Surprise.

FARM AND MX 1 WHAT "CROP ROTATION" DOES On© of Simplest and Most Practical Ways by Wtitch* Income o f Farm May Be Increased. RAISING ONIONS FOR MARKET Avoid New Land, Get Pure Seed and Cultivate Properly—System of Rotation Is Best. <Hy R . G. A V K A T I I E U S T O X K . ) New laud is not adapted to oniongrowing, and this crop should always fallow some crop that has been under hee, and free from weeds. Onions should follow potatoes, beans or corn. , The land should be well plowed in 1he autumn, disked and harrowed in the spring until it is as line as gardea- soil. Always manure heavily before breaking up the land In the fall. On new land cowpeas are excellent for bringing the land into shape. Onions should be grown under a system of crop rotation, but the crops used in the rotation must bo those _-«* Device for Smoothing Soil Before Seeding. that will not exhaust the high fertility necessary to onions. Continuous cropping with onions will cause the land to become diseased and tilled with insect enemieB. One of the most Important things in onion-culture is to mix the fertilizer 'with the soil well. On land that is not thoroughly drained, plow in beds, leaving a double furrow between the beds to carry off surplus water. These beds may be 7B to 150 feet in width. The disc-harrow puts the land in fine condition after it has been thoroughly plowed in the fall. For finishi n g the soil a tool is now made, which •when drawn over the ground will till And obliterate all tracks, leaving the surface smooth and even, and in tine condition for either seed or transplanting. The feeding-roots of the onion run close to the surface, and should not be disturbed by deep cultivation. After a vain, break up the surface of the soil by means of a steel rake. As soon as the plants are growing well, the cultivator should be started and kept going, in order to keep the soil 1n good condition, and to prevent weeds. The single wheel-hoe is an excellent tool for this purpose. Some of the large growers near Chicago have adopted a hoe stock, consisting of a The rotation of crops is one ot the simplest and most practical ways by which the income of the farm may bt increased Without greatly adding tc the cost of operation. The rotation of crops is the altenia tlon of the three general classes ot farm crops; namely, grain crops grass crops and cultivated crops, sc that a crop from each ol' the three classes will appear on each field at least once during each cycle of tht rotation. Under "grain,crops," such crops as wheat, barley, flax and millet may be classed, in their relation to the soil. Millet, though grown for hay, haspractically the same effect on the soil as a grain crop. These crops deplete the soil of vegetable matter, allow weeds to grow, and have a tendency to deplete the productive power of the land. Tinier "grass crops" may be included timothy, bromus and the clovers. Though the clovers are not true grasses, they have heavy root sys terns, and add vegetable matter to the soil. The clovers also add nitrogen to the soil; but their chief value In a rotation seems to be due to the fact that their heavy root-systems fill the soil with vegetable matter, thus mak' ing it more hospitable to plants. Under cultivated crops may be placed corn, potatoes and root crops. Owing to their cultivation during growth, these crops have a cleaning effect on the soil. They are, however, exhaustive of soil fertility, because the constant cultivation encourages the liberation of large quantities of plantfood. These crops leave the soil in good condition lor succeeding grain crops. PROPER CARE OF TOMATOES Trimming of Vines in Mid-Summer Will Greatly Increase Yield—Experiments in Maine.

The plants were grown under ordinary field culture and they were started' in the green house April l, planted in the field June 1 and headed back July 24, August 8 and September 5. At each trimming the leading branches were shortened about six inches and most of the side shoots below the first clusters were removed, the others being shortened, and the sunlight was thus freely admitted. Training tomatoes on wires to run from five to ten feet high is becoming a common practice. This method increases the yield as the sunlight reaches all of the fruit and makes picking much easier.

A true saying: "A good garden is half the living." Flax is a plant that does well on a varoety of soils. The well drained garden has many things in Its favor. Millet hay, to give the best results, must not get too ripe. A good gardener will not be content With raising one crop a year. The careful stockman gives his manure spreader dally exercise. Grasshoppers may be materially decreased by winter or early spring disking. Rhubarb is one of the standard garden crops in the vicinity of large cities. The green food problem in winter Isn't much of a problem If there is any alfalfa hay on the place. All the kernels of an ear of corn are approximately of the same composition, but different ears vary considerably. 1 Experienced onion growers do not advise nor follow the practice of plant* ing onions on raw or new land as a first crop.

HIS UNKNOWN GOOD POINTS Widow Found It Hard to Reconcile Eulogy With Her Knowledge of Dead Husband. An old irishman who had made a good deal of money, but who wasn't very particular about his habits or conduct, lived in Chicago. His custom was to KO downtown about once a month on a spree, and then come back home and beat up his family and break the furniture. His uged wife, who had stood him lor many years, was blind. Finally he died, and his children gave him a fine funeral. They had plenty of money now that the old man was dead, and so they spread themselves. At the- church there was elaborate ceremony. The blind widowwas dissolved in woe. She cried and cried all through the services, paying scunt heed to what was going on until the eulogy was pronounced. She listened. The priest referred to the dead man in glowing terms.

(Br D. W. FRKA.R, Colorado Agricultural ColVoge.) All cultivated soils and most virgin soils contain plant and animals' remains, called organic matter. Tyfr»w in thp IftRt s t a s i a nf decay, i nneHad. Impossible Road. Chauhcey M. Depew frequently deprecates the comparisons that a r e drawn between American and European railways. "These comparisons are unfair t o us," h e once said a t a banquet in N e w Tork. "When I'm told how very safe the European railway Is J think of t h e Nola Chucky line. "The president of t h e Nola Chucky line once waited on m e t o request an exchange of courtesies. I interrogated s l m , and h e said proudly*. '"On our line, sir, n o t only h a s a coUlaion never occurred, b u t o n o u r U s e a collision would be Impossible/ '"Impossible?' e a i d * Oh, come, X know that t h e latest automatic safety devices a r e excellent things, hut impossible i s a large word.' I t ' s literally true with us, s i r / b e organic matter is called humus. Humus is dark In color and imparts that color to soil when present m sufficient quantities. J Organic matter is very light in J weight. When partially decayed,, and | especially in the form of humus, it has the power t o absorb and hold larger quantities of water -than even the finest clays. Humus is more plastic (sticky) than sand, and less plaetlc than clay. Consequently it is very valuable in binding together sandy soils and loosening up clayey soils. When organic matter decays, substances called organic aelds a r e produced which a c t on t h e toll mineralf l a t t e r - a n d help to make It soluble, so that i t i s available to other plants. The food material which t h e organic matter contained is also brakes down to its original form, and much of it. is.again built up into plant tissue. Organic matter i s gotten into t h e soil by crop rotation, by plowing under green crops, by manuring and by raising crops With extensive root systems. When added t o soils in arid H S g l o B s . l t s h o u l d h e well rotted., I t Is o n e q l t h e most important soil con* stltuenta. T h e lack of it in soil ta largely t h e cause of t h e decreased yields under t h e stogie, continuous cropping system. '"How can it b e ? ' s a i d I.

CIGRAND M OD flxjqg T f l i r * T \ A TVTfX ^ ^ - - ^ IMPORTANCE OF WALL PAPER &+y rz/t&. 20&4 HE Sign of the Cross, or Christ symbol, so widely displayed on Easter day, Is an emblem which holds a more prominent place in American heraldry than Is generally known. It has been Identified with our history as a nation from the beginning, and forms three of the prime elements In the flag* of the United States navy. A red cross In saltlre is typical of a guardian; a blue saltlre cross means danger; while a blue Latin crosB signifies the service, devotional or church flag. The last mentioned flag came Into being Immediately after peace w a r d e c l a r e d between north and •oath; and ever since 1866 it has been accorded precedence even over the national banner, on certain occasions. It is the only pennant which at special periods can and does float above the Stars and Stripes. The flag Is triangular In shape and white In color, upon which is blazoned in blue a Latin crese;—Just before dU I RT* viae service commences on board a ship of war the Christ emblem is thrown to the breeze. Its white background Is symbolic of purity; the blue, ot azure, signifies virtue and godliness, and the cross is emblematic of the Savior of mankind. Chaplain Evans of the United States steamship Minnesota writes as follows: "The flag (service) flies proudly above the national ensign during divine service, and proclaims to all in night that the only true patriotism is that which has God as its author and which can be sealed with the stamp of approval by the incarnate God—His Son. To the chaplain whose heart Is in his work, Sunday is his great day. There ** always a celebration of Holy Communion at 7 a.'-m. By the courtesy of the admiral'this is held in his after cabin, to which all officers and enlisted men have ready ac- -cess. Communicants of all Christian bodies are invited to attend, and there it always a good attendance. At 10:30 a. m. the bugle sounds 'church call/ the church pennant is flown from the mast, and the ehlp's bell is -tolled. Then the 'official divine service' is held. Of necessity the altar 1s a portable one, the pews consisttag of the mess-benches, with chairs i n front for the officers. The service sever lasts longer than fifty minutes, and consists of prayer, song, and a short, plain talk. Sunday afternoon there Is a Bible data, and every evening there is a prayer meeting. At 4: So on the Sabbath the band gives a •acred concert for one hour, always closing with 'Onward Christian Sol* dlers' and 'Adotto Pldelea.'" From the foregoing extract from Chaplain Evan's letter It will be aeen -that the standard bearing the Croat of Christ is granted official recognition and pre-eminence by the federal gov* -eminent at stated Intervals. This any teem a trite inconsistent when St la remembered that onr Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United 8tatea do not recognize religion. Yet It doe* not appear wM' strange when the evolution of onr ;< eefctrnent and republic U taken Into " isMeratlon; and we are confronted evidence of how numerous were Chrlat tokens in the various flags floated over lead and sea ere Start and Stripes became the anemblem of the western world.

Taa eaten yt and the same flag floated over the Pll- [unfurled In the new world, for the banner of Columbus had £he symbol blazoned on his "voyag$ flag" which he displayed on reaching the land, August 12, 1492; and In the name of this emblem he took possession of the strange shores. England's standard also bore tho sacred token, and consequently when Sebastian Cabot landed in Labrador in 1497, at the end of his voyage of discovery, It was under the "Red Cross of St. George" that he took possession of the new domain. The planting of the red cross resulted in grim years of warfare and bloodshed, for many hard-fought battles took place between the French and English over the disputed territory. For one hundred and nine years this Christ emblem was the British symbol of American discovery and possession. But in 1606, one year before the settlement of Jamestown, Va., a new English flag was devised, which contained, besides the red ofoss of St. George, the white cross of St. Andrew in honor of the Scots who had -Joined tho British—nation. These elisor # ; 5» • « . crosses, of Saints George and Andrew, were placed on a blue square, while the remainder of the flag was red. Under this union banner began the labors of the Virginia settlers in 1607, grims at Plymouth, Mass., in 1620. The East Indian company, which .in 1644 Intended to improve and settle America, displayed a flag-—of—four-fwee stripes, two red and two white, and In a white union there was blazoned a red cross, In 1702 the same company devised a new banner, with the cross in the union still in evidence, but four more stripes added, making Ave white and five red stripes. Oddly enough in tho light of subsequent events this company in 1704 ordered a change in their standard which resulted in the production of a flag with thirteen stripes, six white (argent) and seven red (gules). Now this banner may be s a l / to have been practically the same as the present American flag as regards number and tincture of the stripes—more heraldlcally denominated "bars"-—since "stripes" are perpendicular, while "bars" are longitudinal. The union of this remarkable flag was a red cross on a white field or union, 'and its thirteen stripes floated in American waters and over American-lands seventy-three years before any such device was officially recognized as typically American. The writer saw this flag at, the Louvre, Paris, in 1900, the exhibit being marked "East India Company's Ensign, London, 1704." In 1649, on February 22, just eighty-three years" before Washington's birth, the English parliament decreed that "ships at sea shall display a new flag consisting of a red cross In union, and in a blue field a yellow (or) harp, representing Ireland." As early as 1684 the colony of Massachusetts attempted to establish a distinctive colony flag. In a letter to Capt. Thomas Noyes of Newbury, Mass., N. Sallonstall writes: "In ye major general's letter, I have ordered also to require you which I herein do, with all convenient speed, to provide a flight of colors for your foot company . . . to be green with a red cross, with a white field in the angle." Two years later, under the rigid rule of tho Colonel governor, Sir mund Andross, this green flag of Massachusetts was ordered hauled down, and the flag of King James I., with the British crosses, was re-established in New England, The green flag was, according to English heraldry, a "sign of hope," arid this is the earliest and flrBt reference regarding it. The flag i-actunlly made and displayed;-of which tb ore is no doubt, as in an old English work on heraldry it is described as "Colors of Capt. Noye's Company, Massachusetts Bay, 1684." Tho New England people did not like the idea of submitting tamely to the tyrannical orders of the governor, but their weakness impelled obedience to the czar-like attitude of the British officials. Moreover, the Puritans of New England were naturally averse to the worship and display of the cross, or emblem of Christ. Therefore, In the confederacy which was formed of the New England states in 1643, they voted to "Take off the cross, because it is an idolatrous symbol, and place instead a rose, a tree, or other natural object in place of the cross." Hence in many of the early Colonial flags which waved over our possessions under the rule of the Puritans, the cross was missing and its place taken by the pine-tree, a flower,--or even an outline of the globe (Intended to represent the new world) blazoned on backgrounds of various tints. A flag owned by Mrs. Craig, a distant relative of General Craig of Revolutionary fame, has the crosses of Saints George and Andrew on a blue field. The remainder of the flag is red, and upon it a coiled rattlesnake in attitude to Strike, and under it the significant words, "Don't tread on me." The date of this flag is important, as it would Illustrate the first direct attempt to claim certain rights for the colonies. The dual crosses in the union betoken allegiance to England, yet the symbolic snake and the expressive motto plainly indicates a threat against too much interference by the mother country. Another and later use of the serpent device and motto, "Don't tread on me" was that of the South Carolina troops of the Confederate army, who employed it on their flag during the Civil war. At the battle of Bunker Hill, the first real clash of arms and initial display of independent colors, there were two decidedly colonial flagsone "a red cross on white union, with pine-tree in dexter quarter, field of flag red;" the other the "English union, bearing the crosses of Saints George and Andrew with field red, containing tho war cry, 'Liberty and Union.' " On January 2, 1776, General Washington displayed over the troops at Cambridge the earliest effort to form a flag which would express that the colonies had united in defense of their homes, but still manifesting a love for English historical tradition. This flag was of thirteen stripes, seven red and six white, The union consisted of the Latin cross of St. George, and the saltlre, or X cross of St. Andrew, on a blue field. This remained the Continental flag for just seventeen and one-half months. Then on June 14, 1777, the Continental congress adopted a device for a flag which has been universally pronounced a happy combination of ideas, namely the Stars and Stripes, which waves triumphantly as the emblem of American patriotism over a free country. BEGIN TO DISCIPLINE EARLY Better to Teach Child as a Baby Rath* er Than When His Habits Have > Been Formed. 4I&A **£•% i\ There is nothing more beautiful [than a baby just learning to talk and beginning to run about. He has so many charming ways, and each new accomplishment is so absorbingly interesting. At the very worst his misdemeanors do not irritate us, and usually they are amusing, it is far pleasanter and easier to divert the child's attention than to take him seriously; and so, since there is no good stopping- place, be is coaxed and indulged until he la no longer a baby. But the hab#s that were amusing in the two* year-old cease to be funny at four and Aire, and at seven and eight they begin to be unendurable; and it Is a sad fact that punishment usually be* gins at an age when there should bo no further occasion for it, and when, to confess the truth, it often does more barm than good. As tho baby faults grow more and more irritating the child himself grows less and less appealing. We can punish now, and we do. We are sure that a child of his age "ought to know better." 'though just why It might be hard to tell It Is certainly no fault of his that seTen-yeaeold naughtiness Is loss attraetfve tans tho hefty Tartettv tad habit is a powerful antagonist. U U perfectly esJs to sev that every child will require punishment at some time. It is absolutely certain that some time, from some source, in some way, he will receive his share of the world's discipline. In babyhood it is light; later if is severe. In babyhood there are no bad habits to combat; later the habits are a part of the child. In babyhood the grief Is soon forgotten; later humiliation and resentment live in the heart and often embitter the dearest ties. In view of these perfectly obvious truths the fact that we do not wish to discipline the bsby becomes the chief reason why we ought to discipline him. If we wait until we wish to punish him our own motives are degrading; what should be education becomes retaliation; and neither our Judgment nor our justice is to be trusted.— Ladies' Home Journal. Sacrifice Made By Husband #r^ ' — :—: — Remarkable Self-Abnegation That Proved Hfs Love for Hsr Wat True and Deep. One of the most curious stories recently passing within view of the office window comes from the state of Georgia. It discloses an example of self-sacrifice quite out of the ordinary. A young widow was married a life, she explained, she had solemnly promised thst in the event of his death she would never remarry, and that, haying violated that pledge, she was tortured every hour with bis ghostly reproaches. S The husband, after earnest but futile efforts to overcome) his wife's strange .melancholy, generously effaced himself from hsr life by con* aenting to a separation and turning year ago to the estimable jaan with [ttver to hsr the charming home} In whom she lived moat happily for several months* their home life being described by neighbors as little short of Ideal.

It Is important, vhou selecting a wall paper to consider durability as well as beauty, which includes suitability. White papers are not always ill-wearing, and one that is glazed will resist dirt and look bright and fresh for a Ions time. Soft-surfaced whites, ar any other color, however, not only pick up every marl; and collect dust, but also often shed a minute powder. Red papers do not tsuit hot rooms, but warm up north ones charmingly. When turning an upstairs bedroom Into a sitting room, the use of a rich red paper will do much to remove the plain effect that la often a drawback. Pink papers are alway.s liked in north and west bedrooms. A striped pattern increase the apparent height of the walla, while one with any kind of horizontal lines, or checks will diminish it. Large designs ii'.ake a. room look .smaller than it really is, and a very small pattern is wearisome to the eye. Patternles.s papers help the effect of pictures and furniture and are popular on account of their rest fulness, while those in which the designs melt into the color of the background are to be recommended for the same reasons. Pale green and blue walls have a cool influence and so are suitable f c sunny rooms, while cream and pale gold are good for all aspects. As greens produce something to the effect of lawns and trees, they are delightful in town houses, and if used in a country drawing-room there will be no sharp contrast between indours and out. Raised papers are handsome, hut catch up dust, and those with gilt lines should not be chosen for seaside dwellings, as the strong air will soon tarnish them black. Only very well lit rooms can stand brown papers, which wear well and have a pleasing and comfortable appearance.

Delicate articles such as jabots, handerchlefs and other accessories, may be beautifully laundered by the following method: Prepare a thin starch by wetting a teaspoonful of cornstarch in a little cold water. Add two quarts of boiling water and boil from 30 minutes to an hour. When cold, strain. Have the articles to be starched washed clean, dip them while wet into the starch, wring dry, then clap between the bands till partly dry. Lay right side down on a thick ironing pad and iron with a moderately hot iron. Articles laundered in this way have the sheer look and the crispneai of new goods. Rolled Oats Bread. Two cupa of rolled oats, five cups of flour, two cups of boiled water, onehalf cup of molasses, one-half tablespoon salt, one tablespoon butter, one cake of compressed yeast dissolved in one-half cup of lukewarm water. Add boiling water to rojled oats and let stand one hour; add molaasea, salt, butter, dissolved yeast cake and flour: let rise until double in bulk, beat thoroughly—use band to shape—turn into buttered bread pans, let rise again, and bake.

A fond Chicago mother Is to give & coming-out party for her son. Of course, wo have no means of knowing the youth, but we fancy ho must bo exactly that kind of son—and we await with bated anxiety a full de- Bcrlption of his coming-out costume. What will be done with the gentle youth after this severe social ordeal isn't stated, but it can be believed that he is to be rushed around to all sorts of society functions—and, of course, carefully guarded against the matrimonial designs of fortune-hunting females. Modern Journalism. Arthur Brisbane, the editor, praised at a dinner In New York the educative value of moving pictures.
