DEPOT BURNED H « t A t Uakeland bast Wednesday Afternoon €ftortly after dinner last Wed. nesday, fire was discovered in the roof of the depot at Lakeland, near the stove pipe which served for a chimney. With Zukey Lake only a few feet away there was no way to put the water to use and it was not long before the boUdiny was seen to be doomed and all attention was given to the institution have been worked oat work of rescuing what could be TOpoved of ^ts contents. Host of the records of late da te were secured, with the telegraph instruments, etc. but the depot was a complete loss. The burned building was an old rattle shack good for Hamburg Junction in its old days but entirely outgrown by the progressive summer resort of Lakeland. It will probably be re placed by one which will be better fitted for the needs of the place. L>lst of Jurors To Destroy Rats The following method for the destruction of rats, adopted by M. deKruyff of the Dutch Indies at Buitenzorg, Java is given in a recent consular* r%p6rt. All visible rat holes were first stopped with earth to ascertain if they were in- Half a teaspoon of carbon hide was poured in all of the found to be inhabited, and a delay of a few seconds to the liquid to evaporate, the rt of vapor and air was ig- The result was a small .exion which filled the hole with ndusffases and killed all the Most'ltiafctitiyr A~ pound bisulphide is sufficient tor boles; 131 43 holes when opened after the operation. It is farther stated that satisfactory results in exterminating porcupines have been obtained by this method. W&' ' M ;.

Therefore it is of northern origin, but it haa a firmer hold on the South today than it has in many places in the North. In Washington, t h e capital, New Year's calling seemtagly la a fixed habit. Custom has .given it virtually the force of law, •and the Washington people do not .wish to be considered in any way ^law-breakers. The president of the United States bblda the earliest New Year's Day reception. U ifl In. the broadest sense a public reception, for every American jof whatever creed, color or station in jilfe Is welcomed into the big White House to greet the chief executive land bis wile, who by custom as fixed i'e« that' of the holiday calling, Is ifcnowp as "the flrat lady in the land." !The "wedding garment" is not necesiamry for the visitor at the >Vhite (House on the first day of the year^ Hrhe callers come • literally some in krngs and some in velvet gowns. The president by force of the eusrlaw of precedence is obliged to lde his reception into two parts, ne for officialdom and one for the '"laity." Precedence would not bo jfluch a powerful thing in Washington (were it not for the presence here of jeo many foreigners to whom prece- — jdenre is everything. The representatives of foreign governments would italce instant offenao and also would fcake means to show it if they were- - ijoot given the exact place in line to Which their Bervice rank entitles them. There Is one thing which foreigners have to forget while in the (diplomatic service. Their social rank jat home counts for nothing In diplo taatic elreleB. Length of service is {the only thing which is given consid- {©ration in establishing precedence ex- «ept, of course, that ambassadors rank jiniaisters, irrespective of the time ••jthey have been in the diplomatic era- ; tpioyment.

Ordinary official mat- >ters must wait the coming of the second day of the year for consideration. When the first office duties of the morning are over the president return* to the White House proper, where he takes * l s place in the big east room with his, wife at hln right hand. Ily the special invitation of Mrs. Taft the wives of some of the more prominent •officials of Washington, with some of her close •acquaintances among the resident Washington families, are asked to become members of the -receiving party. The cabinet women always are present at the White House reception, taking their places at the right of Mrs. Taft in order af cabinet rank. The wife of the secretary of state takes the first place, and the wife of the •secretary of commerce and labor the last place. Cabinet positions rank in the order of the creation of the departments. With the president and in full uniform are the ?ouag army officer and navy officer aides. It Is Major Archibald Butt of the army who is Mr. l a f t ' s chief personal military attendant. It Is Itajor Butt's duty to repeat the name of each (vest as he or ebe is presented to the president, tad a bard duty it Is, for the major must catch *very whispered name as the visitor gives It to tlm and catch It correctly, for If he makes a Ittstake he Is likely to give offense to some person who thinks that his name ought to be known oven without the asking. Major Butt's position carries with it cares to moke a man's hair grow •vhlte over night. At eleven o'clock In the morning the official ftfoeeeston begins. For an hour it has been form- Ins outside the White House, for the lines of the visitors are long, being made up as they are *f senior and junior officials of some hundreds i f departments, divisions, bureaus and subfcoremat of the government. 1 The president recefvea the diplomatic corps In * t e n i a separately.

The members of the supreme court and the members of both houses of congress follow with army and navy officers in their handsome dress uniforms treading fast on their heels. Some one might ask why the army and navy do not take precedence of the civilian officials at New Year's receptions and other formal functions. To get the answer to tho question it is only necessary to remember that in a republic the military power is always supposed to bo subordinate to the civil power. The army ranks the navy because it was of earlier creation. The highest ranking officers of the army today are the lieutenant generals of the service, all of whom are now on the retired list, but their rank holds, nevertheless, because, although retired, they are still in the military service. Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, who unquestionably is the best-known living American soldier, resides in Washington. He still takes a most active interest in government affairs. About eighteen months ago the general was thrown from his horse while riding along the Potomac drive. Miles is a splendid horseman and it is said that his mishap was the first of the kind which bad happened to him in all the years of his service. It was feared that he would die from his injuries, but his splendid natural constitution, reinforced by the strength which comes from an abstemious life and from campaigning in the free air of the fields, helped him on to rapid recovery. Ho shows no sign today of the accident. The first officer In the holiday line of the soldiers still on the active list of the army is Major General Leonard Wood, now the chief of staff of the United States array. Only fourteen years ago Wood was a surgeon of the service, ranking as a captain. He became colonel of Rough Riders through the Influence of Theodore Roosevelt, and later McKlniey made him, a brigadier general of the line, from which position he rose to be a major generaL By the deaths or the retirements of ranking major generals, Wood is now at the head of the army There are three hundred army officers stationed in Washington., Every one of them, unless on sick report, Is compelled to he in line at the New Year's reception. A few days before the holiday an order Is Issued by the general commanding that ait officers of tho District of Columbia subject 'to duty shall pay their tespects to the president of the United states on the morning of the year's first day. If an 2& offlce* fails to put t i ,1b , ^ ^ * ****** appearance he is likely to be called to account for disobedience, a serious offense. The army in Its commissioned ranks is represented in Washington by details to general staff, to quartermaster, to commissary, to ordnance, to engineer and to arcillery work. Moreover, there are many officer students in the city who are taking "strategy" courses at the war colleges. The highest ranking officer of the active list of either armed service in Washington today is Admiral George Dewey. He holds his active rank for life. He is long past the general retiring age which is fixed for the navy at sixty-two years, but an act creating him full admiral carried with it the delegated right to remain on the active list as long as he should choose. Dewey is still in active service, although he no longer goes to sea. There Is no army officer of equal rank with Dewey. An admiral ranks with a general and there has been no full general of tho service since the days of the last great trio—Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. The official visitors to the White House on New Year's Day form In separate lines, the members of each department of government taking positions by themselves. The lines radiate from the front door of the executive mansion In a dozen different directions. The multitude of officials and sub-officials is so great that it would seem it would take hours for the president to greet each of Uncle Sam's servants separately and to call him by name, but the arrangements are perfect for expediting the line of march past what~might be called the reviewing stand. In two hours at the most the last official has been greeted and then the "laymen" are admitted -to--the presidential preae4ice^_Xear_Ailer-yearthn: sands of Washlngton_residents and visitors from afar take advantage of the holiday to" shake the president's hand and to exchange a word of greeting. Men, women and children are in the line. Some of the men In frock coats and Bilk hats, some of the women In fetching morning apparel, but for the most part it is the workaday portion of the populace which files into the great east room to say the Happy New Year word, Colored people are numerous, for ln~"Washington they form at least" one-third of the population, and many of them seek th'e White House on the holiday. It is a pic- All was a."son of the sheik, and was a handsome young cavalier, although the desert sun had burned him almost as black as a negro. His costume was that of a regular Turkish soldier-—a dirty blue coat with tarnished brass buttons, dirtier blue trousers just short enough to show u considerable amount of dirty brown ankle above the dirty yellow slippers. But, as a free son of the desert All, refused to wear the fez of Turkish supremacy, and bound his flowing kafuyyeh with the horsehair ring of the Arabs. A long scimitar, inland with silver and gold, clattered bravely afjainst the saddle-bags, and a rainbow- hued sash was stuck full of antique pistols and short, sharp knives. There was nothing servile or shoddy, however, about Sheik All's bearing; no false regrets lor the boule*- vards and 'buses of an effete civilization; but a supremo content with lif.> as Allah had ordered it. AH had two chief assets: a good horse and a good voice. The former he rode at a breakneck pace, with jiis accoutrements rattling like the pans of a runaway peddler. Once in a while, however, All would graciously wait for the carriage and, after inquiring anxiously concerning our distinguished healths, would canter along with us for a few rods, singing to himself in a pathetic minor key. They were no hackneyed music hall dittieB that he sang, for every Arab is a poet and an improvisator. A moment of intense, frowning thought, and then All would raise his head and gurgle out a new distich of Arabic gutturals, Ho sang of the speed of his horse and of the barley in the khan at. Jericho; he sang of the beautiful weather—it would have been about a hundred in the shade, if there had been any shade—he sang of the magnificent honorableness of the Englezee gentlemen; and especially he praised the Immense oakrsheesh which the generous- travelers would surely bestow at the end' of. his journey,— Lewis Gaston \Leary in Scribner's Magazine. • • .tL'PL'i' • - J».--1-LMJMI 1 Storm Note.

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED turesque crowd and one well worth watching for the charm of the human interest which it holds. As soon as the White House reception Is over the women of the cabinet retire to their own homes, where In turn they hold receptions to which everybody is welcome. The wives of nearly all the public officials also keep open house on the afternoon of New Year's Day. The White House reception 1B the only one given by the president during the year which is in every sense a public reception. No one is barred from admittance. The holiday "reception Is followed by four semi-public receptions given In the evening* and to these admission is only by card. So tt is that only once in the year Is It possible for every American to call at the White House and be certain of a personal greeting from the president 1 Humor In a Court's Documents. Not more frequently than once in the span of a man's life does the court of claims at Washington Contribute anything to add to the gayety of nations, but there is something of the light of humor stowed away in ono of the documents which accompany the court's findings in the matter of the claim of Edward Cruselle. heir-at-law of Thomas Cruselle, deceased, against 'TJncle Sam. Mr. Cruselle made a claim for payment for certain supplies furnished to the United States by the tes_tatpr_."for use for the suppression of the 'rebellion.'" as the legal documents stated it. The goods which Mr. Cruselle owned and which were seized by the government and subsequently used by the Union troops as a means of crushing their Confederate brethren were "sixty-seven boxes of fine chew baeeo.' ammunition were "Early Dew," "Choice Gem" and "Peach Leaf." The members of the court rather dodged the tobacco issue. They simply found that Mr. Cruselle was loyal to the United States and that the "Early Dew," "Peach Leaf" and the rest were seized under General Shermaja^ fj^j^us_"fj3rj^^Jib£rallycoimtry" order.

I went to more than one doctor, but could not get any relief, so I started to use the Cuticura Kemedies. I tried one bar of Cuticura Soap and some Cuticura Ointment, and felt relieved rijrht away. Now the bald spots have disappeared, and my hair has grown, thanks to the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I highly recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all that are suffering with scalp trou- Dle."

Wedding presents have for years f been a trial both to the donors who cannot think what to send and to the recipients who are compelled to accept what they do not like. A bright notion would be to have a collection at the church (In a bag, not a plate) for the benefit of the young couple, to which each friend might contribute the amount of money he would have spent on a perhaps unappreciated offering. This would save him the terrible worry of choosing something suitable, and the bride and bridegroom the hypocrisy of being grateful for articles they would rather have been without. Shopkeepers would no longer be called upon to supply wares which appear to cost more than they do, and affection and Incomes would cease to be estimated by the value of the gifts tbey produce, since the latter would be anonymous.

Elev of/on s/r<>w'/*<f end of ftVSS and An implement and machine shed","a truss and details of which are shown S n j h e accompanying cut^ is designed with three things in mind; viz., suitability to the purpose for which it is to be used, ease of construction, and low cost. At the outset it is assumed that a clear space in the building unobstructed by posts and beams would be especially desirable for the purpose in view. Many of the maohines and implements in use on the farm, while comparatively light, occupy a great 4*G1 of space and can be stored most economically by crowding tobether these likely to be in use at the same time. This can be done when the intenor is open and free, which,allows them to be moved in any direction to the best advantage: Another/ thing to be considered in this connection is the dimensions of doors and openings. It it not considered advisable to make th« doors less than twelve feet wide au-i ten high. Perhaps the ideal construction would be doors arranged to be continuous oc, so that they might be opened at any convenient point for putting in and taking out machinery. In the matter of construction the StA roof and is intended for pateut roofing only, this being considered of low cost and satisfactory on a building of this type. On a roof having a muoh greater slope than this it would be necessary to use rafters instead of purlins. The timber in the frame should be of strong native wood or southern pine. Hemlock is not considered safe where it must carry any great load. It is considered essential to have a good deep foundation vMil under the building and to hav» ifre building firmly anchored to it. The foundation wall need not be built across the driveways. The iengtfc. Of t h e building and the width may he made to suit conditions, but it Is &1- vised that a building framed like <be one above be made not wider than tfrs dimensions given. 7'he trusses shouM also be placed not more than twelVt) feet apart. A length of 48 feet woult? be about a minimum for the widtJv given. This would require five trussed 4nd could be arranged to have doors on either side, and two driveways adjoining. It would be well in many cases to partition off a workshop in this building. This workshop would be convenient to most of the repair work. An earth floor can be used if good drainage can be had, or a rough concrete floor can be made with little cost where the material can be easily obtained. A proportion of 1-3-6 of cement, sand and gravel, or 1-8 of cement and gravel wilt be satisfactory where the latter can be obtained with the size of grains graded from fine to coarse. No top dressing will be necessary. The material for a building of the size suggested would cost from $150 to 3250, depending upon location and kind of lumber used. This size should be adequate to accommodate most of the machinery on a 160-acre farm. A sh^il for the smaller farm, built after tPu same plan, could of course be buiU for very much less. that litfrle exact work or careful fit ting is required to obtain a reasonably good job. The trusses can be laid out and assembled on the ground and are not so heavy but that they can be erected by four or five men without difficulty. The weight per trr.ps ready to erect will be from 600 to 1,200 pounds. The trusses be- —Ing Bet up and braced temporarily, the plates, braces, and girts are easily put up and spiked In place. To m a k e rha trusses nltgn prnpgrly <r is essentia, that all the trusses be made after the same pattern; and to do this the following method is suggested, for which the framing diagram accom- This is the title of circular No. 12 from the laboratory of bacteriology, Michigan Agricultural college.

It is caused by a variety of the same germ that produces tuberculosis in cattle and consumption in man. The symptoms are gradual emaciation, unthriftiness, anemia, perhaps lameness, with death after a period of weeks or months. The disease manifests itself in the shape of grayish nodules in the wall of the intestines,, liver, spleen and elsewhere. There is no practical means of diagnosis except by post mortem examination;— Na-treatraent is possible. Destruction of the entire flock and disinfection followed by a certain period before the introduction of more birds is the proper method to follow. In panying the truss is intended.

Every farm should be equipped with one or two jack screws, not necessarily heavy, expensive ones, such as are used by contractors. A screw with l%- inch thread and 10-Inch stand, the screw being made of wrought iron and the stand cast-iron, has a capacity of that such a screw cannot be used to great advantage in repair work about buildings or starting a load that has been stalled in soft fields or roads. Overloading such screws must be avoided, and care should always be taken to follow the load up with blocking to prevent accidents.* Avoid trouble by setting the screw firmly and straight on good blocking. with tltelr outer edges touching tfae^ 1 5 tons.

FARM AND MPROVmrW IMPROVED ROADS IN AMERICA Some Startling Facts Given Regard* Ing Unimproved Thoroughfares in the United 8tates. There are in the United States a little more than two million one hundred and fifty thousand miles of roads. Of this mileage only one hundred and seventy-six thousand, four hundred and twenty-nino miles are improved, or eight and two-tenths per cent of the total, according to statistics gathered by the government office of public roads. The improved roads are those surfaced with gravel, stone, or with some special material. The moBt striking feature of these •Statistics is the enormous e x t e s t of unimproved . roads / ja . the United States. An expenditure of something like $3,000,000,000 would be required to convert the common earth roads TO KILL ROADSIDE INSECTS King Road Drag. of the country into even good grave' roads. That this is desirable few wili gainsay, and that it is becoming necessary under modern conditions and the-relations^now existing between producer and^,/Consumer is also quite generally admitted. The increased cost of hauling over unimproved roads is an immense -tax upon the farmer and those who purchase his products, and is a restriction on the crops which can be raised and moved in certain localities. The Interstate Commerce commission finds that two hundredranrr sixty Ave million tons of agricultural, forest and miscellaneous products of the land are hauled to depots for shipment in the course of a year. Figured Dn a basis of the average haul at the lowest average rate over unimproved roads, 23 cents per ton per mile, the ^ost would be four-hundred-thirtytwo millions, four hundred thousand iollars. If the hauling could be rejuced to one-half the present average ar l i y a c a ton, the resultant saving would exceed $200,000,000 a year. " That such a saving is reasonable is indicated by the experiences in other countries and in localities where improved roads are found. The cost of hauling on such improved roads is placed at from 8 to 10 cents per ton. The introduction of wise and equitable road laws and good business -raajiagemont w-ould, it is—e&amatedV jave forty million dollars more in the idminfstration of the country's roads 3r leave it for some other use. ARTICHOKE FOR THE TABLE Vegetable Can Be Grown In Almost Any Garden and Makes Most Delicious Change in the Dishes. The artichoke, which can be grown In almost any garden, makes a deiclous- change in the vegetable dishes 'or the table. The plant is perennial, but declines rapidly, and should be reset every three years. It is propagated from seed, and the suckers are set out, producing edible aeads tne second year. The heads ire from three to four inches in dl- Artlchoke. ameter, and are ready to cut for the table just before they open. For pickling, the heads are often taken when about half grown. The leaves are sometimes blanched and eaten, and these form the salad plants which are seen on the market. POSt M r-^-^-.

The failure of the hay crop during the paBt two seasons has brought the corn crop into the limelight and its good qualities have been praised.until there is very little to be added. Right Time to Da; Work Is Late in Fall When Cold Weather Has Set in and Vegetation Dry. (By GEORGB/H, GL1TZKE.) A great many people have the mistaken idea that the time to burn the roadside in order to kill the many in s e e l s that winter in these placet, isi in the early spring of the year. If you will watch closely at such a place where the roadside has been burned in the spring you will see the insects coming out of the ground very thickly on the warm days. This proves that the insects wero not kiUed. Most of them are in the ground and the heat of the fire passing over them does not harm them and the trash burned from above them m a k e s it ail the easier for the insects to come forth. While no doubt a few of them are killed the majority of them are uninjured. The right time to burn these road sides to do effective work is in the late fall of the year, after the cold weather has already set in and all the tender vegetation is dry. T h e n n if the roadsides are burned, the insects in such places will be killed by heavy freezing, as they usually do n o t g o very-deeply into the..ground but seem to depend on the covering of trash to protect them from the cold. This is a great bit more effective in the killing of the insects than the spring burning. Not only does the fall burning of the roadsides do good by the killing of the insects that winter there, but it a.so helps to keep the *oad in better fc'iape by allowing less Bnow ta collect in the drifts as it usually, does in places where there is much grass and weeds.

N o w is a good time to look over the work harness that have been in u s e all summer and make note bf the repairr. needed before beginning an* other season By Grading Our Own Seed We Can Materially Increase Yield of Our Small Grain Crops. No farmer can get! any one to tako the same plans in grading his seed that he would himself. Some farmers claim that it does not pay to-clean grain. ' It is a fact that it does not pay very large returns to clean and grade grain before selling it, but by grading our own seed w e can materially inisrease th^ yield of our small grain crops. The corn crop of this country has been increased millions of bushels by Fanning Mill, intelligent seed selection. All other grain crops can be improved by grading the seed, so (hat only good, plump, healthy grains, free from all foul weed-seeds may bo grown. The fannlng-mill, judiciously used, will do much to increase the"yield-of every small grain-crop and assist in keeping our fields free from noxious weeds. It will take cockle out of wheat buckthorn, plantain out of clover, in fact it can be adjusted so as to handle all kinds of grain and weed-seeds. If you decide that it pays to sow good seed and to keeiryour "fields free fro;u noxious weeds, then do not hesitate to invest a few dollars in a fan niug mill. 9 00 DROPS ALCOrfOL-3 PER CENT AVefctabk Preparation Tor Assimilating (he Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of I N T A N T t s / f H I L U K l .

A m e n . 1 WWWWWWWWWWWWWUfHOrigin of New Year Gifts Like the customs of Christmas, which, in their origin, are a curious mixture of poetry and symbolism and of superstition, .those that belong to the observance of New Year's day are also relics of ideas that date from early heathen ages. The French derive their term for New Year presents from the Latin word, Strenia, the name of a goddess whom the Romans venerated as the patroness of gifts. There was a grove in Rome dedicated to this goddess, where it was customary to get fresh twigs, to give as presents to friends and relatives on New Year's day. During the sway of the emperors, Roman subjects made New Year's gifts to their sovereign. Augustus received such quantities of these that he had gold and silver statues made of them. Tiberius did away with the usage, because he considered it too troublesome to express thanks for the gifts. Caligula, on the eoatrary- reintroduced the custom, and even made up for his predecessor's re fusal to receive presents by requiring those that had been offered to him to be given to himself as arrearages. The custom of making New Year's gifts, notwithstanding attempts to suppress it, was continued after Europe had become ChrlstjajL-Eor a time present making was transferred_to Easter, but later It was again associated with the first day of January. _ JBatQfiM^dme — The passing of years is like, the coming of dawn—slow, silent, Inevitable. The most eager cannot hasten, the quiet, irresistible movement, and the most reluctant cannot forbid. Some gifts the years bring which we would fain decline—age, sorrow, disappointment. Some treasures they take which we would keep forever—youth, beauty, Innocence. But there are more precious treasures which time cannot supply and the years cannot r e m o v e - friendship, patience, faith and love,— Herbert L. Willett.

"And I'll be the groom," said Waitir gallantly since he was standing beside her at the moment, and all eyos were turned upon him. Pew young people realize tbat it i> dangerous to trifle with a wedding, but it Is. So Walter Nixon and Jaqueline Woodruff stood up. One of the young uicti of the party asked if they would lake each other for husband and wife Walter took a seal ring off his fln^ft and put it on that of Jaqueline. th<' man who was officiating pronounced them man and wife, and, amid many Jokes and much laughter, they received congratulations from the others. No one considered it anything more than an escapade, and when a new amusemput was proposed the speeta tors forgot all about the first. A few days later Miss Woodruff, on opening her mail, read a note from Walter Nixon, beginning "My dear wife." It contained an invitation 1e the theater and several facetious re remarks as to her duty toward the writer as her husband.

A correspondent recently reported •what he described as the "curiou* freak" of a blackbird flying against s parlor window many times' at the u m e s p o t Such an Incident Is not uncommon. Birds have been known to fight for hours at a time, day after day, with their own image reflected ID a pace of glass, pecking and fluttering against the pane and quite exhausting themselves In their fury to demolish the supposed rival. It is anoth er instance of how the arts of our civilization corrupt and confuse the birds. It is the same with fishes. Darwin tells a story of a pike in an aquarium separated by plate glass from fish which were its proper food. In trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash with such violence against the glass as to be completely stunned. It did this for more than three months before it learned caution. Then when the glass was removed the pike would not attack those particular fishes, but would devour others freshly Introduced. It did not at ail understand the situation, but associated the punishment it bad received not with the glass, but with a particular kind of fish. Darwin's American monkeys proved themselves more "knowing." When they cut themselves once with any sharp tool they would not touch it again or else would handle it with the greatest caution. Thus they gave evidence of toe simpler forms of reason of which monkeys are no doubt capable,-but birds are evidently lacking in reasoning powers. FINANCES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE Economies Have Effected Cut in Expenses of Various L Departments. MONETARY REFORM IMPORTANT President Hopes It Will Not Be Made Subject of Party Politico—Surplus In Postal Department— Attention Called to Canal Matters—Postal Savings. Whatever may be said of the exking of Portugal, he has a saving senso of humor. Incontinently dumped out of his regal position, he makes his home near London, from which vantage point he can watch the efforts of those who dethroned himt Down in his heart, of course, there must be anger Washington. — Finances and currency reform are the yuiject of a special message to congress, which reads In part as-follows: The financial condition of t h e government, ay shown at tlie close of t h e last fiscal year. J u n e 30, 1911, waa very satisfactory. The ordinary receipts Into the general fund, excluding poetal revenues, a m o u n t e d to 1701,372,37*.93, and t h e disb u r s e m e n t s from the general fund for current expenses and capital outlays, excluding postal and P a n a m a CanaJ disbursement*, Including t h e interest on the public debt, a m o u n t e d to $664,377,907.88, leaving a surplus of ¢47,284,377.10.

ThlH is a decrease in th< try; hut If wo may believe the reports, 1912 estimates: of $1,534.30:.::2 ex-King Manuel is not eating his heart out on that or any other account. The most recent International gossip that (he duke de Vizeu has fallen heir to the role of the Portuguese pretender, and Js endeavoring to so interest an American woman that she will back up bis efforts with her money (her daughter Is his wife) must amuse the ex-king, says the Cincinnati Times- Star. Those c\cmt to him say he is most frank in declaring that he has no anxiety to gain his throne again—Just yet. Portugal, according to Rev. Dr. Gaster, —who—hrsald-to-fcnow—the.-situation, "will not be a republic Jcng." But Dr. Gaster believes that if the throne is regained it will be for Manuel, not the Duke de Vizeu. Meanwhile the young Braganza, doing his own thinking, makes use of that .excellent old saying: "Patience—and shuffle the cards." The old question, "Do lightning rods protect?" has been referred to Thomas A. Edison. Rnd Mr. Edison replies: "One or more metallic conductors at least one quarter inch in diameter of either iron or copper, without Joints, when connected to a proper amount- "of meta 1IIc surface connected with a permanently damp earth, will certainly protect a house from being affected by lightning. Any metallic surface on roofs, etc.. when connected with rods, will increase protection." That ought to settle that. Not long ago a New York tea drinker was reported as saying that 60 cents' worth of tea would make twice as many cups of beverage as the same .value represented in coffee. This has brought forth a calculation showing still more In favor of the economy of tea. A pound of coffee that costs the public 30 cents, it Is asserted, will make only 45 cups of good coffee, while a pound of tea, costing 60 cents, will make 26 to 600 cups of tea. 80 tea coats from one-fourth to one-third as much as coffee. Statistician tells us that Edmonton. Canada, has only two hours of actual darkness s in summer. Bibulous persona is thaj vicinity cannot m e the old excuse about being afraid to go borne is the dark.

This Is a decrease In the 1913 e s t i m a t e s from that of the 1912 estimates of $7.921,9%.99. As to the postal revenues, the expansion of the business in t h a t d e p a r t m e n t , •he normal Increase in the posit office and the extension of the service, will Increase tho outlay to tho sum of ?2fiO,fO,- 4G3; but as the d e p a r t m e n t was self-sustaining this year the p o s t m a s t e r general Is a s s u r e d that next year the receipts will a t least e<jual the expenditures, and probably exceed them by more than the surplus of this yj&ar. It Is l!air and CQU-Uable, therefore, In determining the economy with whioh the government IIUM been run, to exclude the t r a n s a c t i o n s of a dep a r t m e n t like tho post office department, which relies for Its support upon its receipts.

A m a t t e r of first Importance t h a t will come before congress for action at this session Is monetary reform. T h e congress h a s Itself a r r a n g e d an early introduction of this great question t h r o u g h the r e p o r t of Its m o n s t a r y commission. This commission was appointed to recommend a solution of the b a n k i n g and c u r r e n c y problems so\. long confronting the nation and to furnish the facts and d a t a n e c e s s a r y t o enable tho congress to t a k e action. In order to do its work with t h o r o u g h - ness a n d precision t h i s commission h a s taken some time to m a k e its report. T h e c o u n t r y Is undoubtedly h o p i n g for a s p r o m p t action on the report a s the conveniences of t h e congress c a n permit. The recognition of the gross imperfections a n d m a r k e d Inadequacy of our b a n k i n g a n d currency system even in our most quiet financial periods Is of long s t a n d i n g ; and later there h a s m a t u r e d a recognition of the fact t h a t o u r system lc responsible for the e x t r a o r d i n a r y devastation, w a s t e and business p a r a l y s i s of our r e c u r r i n g periods of pe.nic. Though the methods of the m o n e t a r y commission have for a considerable time been work? lncr in the open, and while large nurp**rs of the people h a v e been openly ^ w o r k i n g with them, and while the p r e s s - h a s largely noted and discussed, this work an it h a s proceeded, so th&t^fhe report of the commission prorrjiefs to represent a national movement, the details of tho report are^jrttll being considered.

The exceeding a m o u n t of consideration It hue received from the people of the nation has beati wholly nonp a r t i s a n ; and the congress set its nonp a r t i s a n seal upon it when the m o n e t a r y commission waa uppointetl.

Governor Believes Chances of Reformation Are Greater During Prison Term Under Parole. Emulating Hazen S. Plngree, Michigan's famous pardoning governor, who believed that the chances for reformation in a convict were greater after he had lx?en given his liberty than during his confinement hehind prison bars, Gov. Osborn, acting in conjunction with the state pardon board, gave 18 conditional pardons and paroies to the inmates of the various penal institutions in Michigan, in order that the men may cat Christmas dinner with their friends and families and begin the New Year with a clean slate. Each case has been thoroughly investigated and the recipients of the bits of parchment that allow the convicts to leave the prisons as free men are worthy of executive clemency, Gov. Osborn points to the fact that the men who are released will lose their liberty if their parole is violated in any way. County Homes i:i Unsanitary State. Secretary M. T. Murray of the state board of corrections and charities has prepared a report in which he claims infirmaries of the state, in many instances, are in a shocking condition. 4,A large number of infirmaries," says the report, "are constructed without regard to convenience, sanitation or a proper segregation of sexes and defectives. The rule is that many institutions which were adequate when established are now , overcrowded or have ben extended haphazard. "In 1910 there were '1.514 inmates in these infirmaries, of which 172 were children, S33 insane, 103 idioiie, :-135 feeble-minded, 59 epileptics and 55 ill with tuberculosis. Because cf lack of facilities for separating and classifying this heterogeneous population it is often found huddled together and the inhumanity and injustice of it is beyond comprehension except by those in close touch with conditions." battlelshTp c r u i s e r s , w h i c h a r e n o w bec o m i n g a v»ry I m p o r t a n t f e a t u r e of f o r e i g n n a v i e s , n o t a b l y t h e B r i t i s h , G e r m a n a n d J a p a n e s e , T h e b u i l d i n g plan for t h i s y e a r c o n - t e m p l a t e s t w o b a t t l e s h i p s a n d t w o colliers.

"De ol' gin'ral he didn't seem ter know what ter say; he done set dar lookin' ofLober de prairie like he was clar ttymegasted. He sho' did look like dat black debble hed hit him migfcfr hard. Den he says slow like. turolo' hi* boss 'round: 'Bartlett, yo' a n puttln' up a good bluff, but, by Gawd. I'm goin' ter call yo'. Yo' don't get a cent ob dat money 'less yo' put up de proof. I'll meet yo' whar yo' say. but ef I can git hoi' ob some papers dat's missln' I'll take dat grin off yo' face.' De odder one laughed, an' de ol' gin'ral started fo' ter ride away, den he pull up he's hoss, an' look back. 'Yo'__sjQrier herd-wid datklndob cattle, Bartlett.' he say, sharp like, 'maybe yo" know a gambler roun' yere called Hawley?' De black debble nebber eben lose he's grin. 'Do yo' mean Black Bart Hawley?' 'Dat's the man, where is he?' 'Dealin' faro to' Mike Kenna in Topeka a week ago— friend ob yours?' 'Dat's none ob yo' iamned—business-—snorted -de—oVgln'ral, givin' his hoss de spur. Sho\ Massa Jack, he nebber knowed he was talktn' ter dat same Hawley, an' dat black debble jest laughed as be rode off." "When was all this, Neb?" " 'Bout de time yo' all went up on do hill, 1 reck'n.—I—done~-come—right yere, and waited." Keith walked across the room, selected a cigar, and came back, bis mind busy with the problem. Hawley had in some manner, then, got into communication with Waite, and was threatening hfm. But Waite evidently knew the man under another name— his given came—and the gambler had sent him off on a false trail. The lost papers apparently contained the solution to all this mystery. Walte believed Hawley possessed them, but did not suspect that Bartlett and Hawley were the same person. What -would be most naturally do now? Seek Hawley in Topeka probably; seize the first opportunity of getting there. Keith turned impatiently to , t t j clerk. , "Any train running east?" '"Well, they generally start one out •very day." with a glance toward the •lock, " long 'bout this time. Maybe It's gone, and maybe it hasn't." Jt was already nearly dark outside as the two men hastened toward tbo depot' They arrived there barely In time fo see the red lights on the last car disappear. No Inquiries made or those lounging about brought results —they had been interested in a rot ot drunke* graders londari cs the flat e a f » ^ 4 « t c e , and sent out under ' Tt»ot one could tell whether iwering Walte's descrlphi the single passenger Convinced, however, that the General would waste no time in prosecuUag his search, Keith believed him already on bis way east, and after dismissing Neb, with Instructions to watch cut closely for Hawley, be made his own way back to the hotel. It seamed strange enough how completely bo was.blocked each time, just at ha thought the whole baffling mystery was about to be mad* clear. Hawley was playing In rare luck, all the cards running easily to bit hand, thus, at least, gaining time, and strengthening Ms position.* There could no longer be any doubt that the gambler possessed some knowledge which made him a formidable adversary. From Wsite's statement it waa the lota ol the eapert which left him helpless to openly resist the claim being mad* upon him on behalf of the mysterious J»JHT!HS Hlsoaly hope, therefore, lay In recovering these; but, with time limited, he had been sent back on a wild goose cha?e, while Keith alone knew, with any degTee of posltiveness, where those documents really were. Hawley certainly had them in his possession the day before, for he had taken thera to Miss Maclaire to thus convince her as to the truth of his statements. And Hawley was still in Sheridan. However, it was not likely the man would risk carrying documents of such value, and documeuts connecting him so closely with that murder on the Santa Fe Trail, about upon his person. At best, life was cheap in that community, and Black Bart must possess enemies In plenty. Yet if not on hiB person— where? Scott was only a tool, a mere Igmoraht desperado, not to be trusted trt such a degree—yet apparently he vas the only one working with the gambler in this deal, the only one cognizant as to his plans. Christie— Keith came to a stop in the street at (he recurrence of the woman's name. Why not? If she had been convinced, if she really believed that these papers proved her right to both property and parentage, then she would guard them as a tigress does her young. And Hawley would know that, and must realize they would be far safer in her hands than in his pocket. She could not use them without his aid and guidance, and yet, whatever happened to him they would still be safely beyond reach. True, this might not have been done; the gambler might not yet have felt that he had sufficient hold upon the woman to trust her thus far, but it was, at least, a possibility to be considered, and acted upon. Still wrestling with the Intricate problem, Keith entered the diningroom, and weaved his way, as usual, through the miscellaneous crowd, toward the more exclusive tables at the rear. A woman sat alone at one of these, her back toward the door. His first thought was that it must be Hope, and he advanced toward her. his heart throbbing. She glanced up, a slight frown wrinklinu her foreheal, and he bowed, recognizing Christie Maclaire. Ueve that, i—I have heard it whispered it might be because of the other girl." "The other girl!" in complete surprise at this swift return. "Yes, sir," conscious of having attained the upper hand. "Miss Hope Waite." "Some more of Mr. Hawley's fancies," he retorted, perplexed that so much should be suspected. "Have you soen her?" "Why, of course. I am a woman, Mr. Keith, with all the natural curloalty of my sex. In this case I had special reason to be Interested. One does not meet her counterpart every dny." "The resemblance between you Is certainly most striking." "Sufficiently so." she said slowly, her eyes on his face, "to abundantly confirm in my mind the truth of all that has been told me." The waiter approached with the orders, and the two remained in silence until he had deposited his load upon the table, and departed. She was watching the face opposite through lowered lashes that veiled her eyes, but Keith was first to break the stillness. "I wish I might be told what that was." "To what do you refer?" apparently forgetful as to where their conversation had been broken. "To Hawley's proposition." "No doubt," her lips smiling, "but you have_come to the wrong market. Mr. Jack Keith." "Yet," be insisted earnestly, "if this is all straight, with no fraud concealed anywhere, if you have the proofs in your hands, why are you afraid to talk openly? The very manner in which Hawley works should convince you he is himself afraid to face the truth." "No, you are wrong. There are perfectly satisfactory reasons why we should for the present keep our plans CHAPTER X X V I . ' ^ * A Chance Conversation. The opportunity thus so unexpectedly afforded was not one to be wasted, and Keith accepted it with Bwlft determlnation. The expression in the woman's face was scarcely one of welcome, yet his purpose was sufficiently serious to cause him to ignore this with easy confidence in himself. _ "I am, Indeed, most fortunate to discover you alone, Miss Maclaire," he said, avoiding her eyes by a swift glance over the table, "and evidently at a time when you are only beginning your meal. May I join you?" She hesitated for an instant, debatlng with herself, and as quickly dej. ciding on disagreeable tactics. "I presume this is a public table, and I consequently have little choice in the matter, if you Insist," she replied, her voice more civil than her words. "Still, Mr. Keith, I am not accustomed to associating with criminals." He smiled, holding his temper in check, more than ever determined to win. "Then, possibly, you may rather welcome a new diversion, I can assure you our criminals out here are the most interesting portion of our population. I wish I might have your permission." Standing there before her, bareheaded, his slightly tanned face strong and manly, his gray eyes filled with humor, Miss Maclaire recognized again that he was not of the common herd, and the innate coquetry of her nature obtained mastery. What harm could It <?o for her to chat with him for half an hour? It was better than eating a lonely meal, and, besides, she might learn something of value to report to Hawley. Her own eyes brightened, the slight frown disappearing "You are certainly an illustration of your theory," she said pleasantly. "I shall have to say yes, but, really, I did not suppose you would enjoy being ranked among that class." He drew out a chair, and sat down facing her, leaning slightly forward upon the intervening table. "Nor would I, only I recognize you do not comprehend. The source of your information is a bit polluted. Miss Maclaire, There are those whose good opinion I do not seek, and you should not form your decisions on the unsupported testimony of a personal enemy." "Oh. indeed," rather resenting the words, and already regretful of her compliance. "Surely I have as much reason to trust my informant as I have you. He, at least, hat proven himself a friend." "1 wish I could feel at fully assure*] of that as you do," he returned Honestly. "I would then have every temptation to meddle 'urtfrer taken away from me. Do you realise that my interest tt very largely upon your aocouatr "Oh. no," laughing, "l oouldat be- "V about that. They were entrusted to him by an old man whom he discovered sick in Independence, and who died in his rooms three years ago. Mr. Hawley has been searching ever since for the old man's granddaughter. It is remarkable how be was finally convinced that I was the one." "A photograph, was it not?" A gleam of sudden suspicion appeared in the brown eyes, a slight change in facial expression. "That was a clue. yes. but far from being all. But why should I tell you this?— you believe nothing t say." "I believe that you believe; that you are fully convinced of the justice of your claim. Perhaps It is just, but I am suspicious of anything .which Bart Hawley has a hand in. Miss Christie, you really make me wish to retain your friendship, but I cannot do so if the cost Includes faith in Hawley. Do you know that is not even his name—that he lives under an alias?" "Is there anything strange In that out here?" she asked stoutly. "I told you how deeply he regretted his life; that alone would be sufficient cause for him to drop his family name. Did j you ever learn his true name?" He was not surf?—only as Neb had ! reported what Waite had called the [man, yet ventured a direct reply. [ "Bartlett, I believe—he uses It now as a prefix." "Bartlett!—Bartlett!" her hands clasping, and unclasping nervously. "Why, what a strange coincidence!" - "How? What do you mean?" "Oh, nothing—nothing." bitting her lips In vexation. "The name merely recalled something. But really, I must go. Mr. Keith, or I shall bo late at the theater. You have not attended since 1 came?" "No.," arising from the table with her. "However. I have heard you sing before, and hope I may again." "How tenderly you dwell on that word 'hope/ " she said banterlngly, "It almost makes me envious." "Your resemblance almost makes mo forget." "But not quite?"' "No, not quite," he confessed, smiling l;ack Into her quizzing eyes. They went out into the hall together, only to meet with Doctor Falrbain itt-the door. Tire latter staretr~nt the "I Like Many People Whom Perhaps I Ought Not, Including You, Mr. Jack Keith." secret There are details yet to be decided upon, and Mr. Hawley's present objection to publicity is only ordinary prudence." She leaned toward him, her fingers playing nervously with a knife. "Mr. Keith, I cannot help but like you, and I also feel most kindly disposed toward Mr. Hawley. I wish in this I was no longer compelled to consider you an enemy- of us-bothr There is no reason why I should, except for your blind prejudice against thJs other man who is my friend. I know you have some cause, for he has told roe the entire story, yet I am,sure he did no more than his actual duty. He let me realize how very sorry he was that the marshal at Carson City bad called upon him for assistance." "Who? Hawley?" Keith questioned, hardly trusting his own ears. "Yes; indeed he is a very different man from what you have been led to believe. I know he is a gambler, and all that, hut really It is not altogether his fault He told me about his life, and It was very sad. He was driven from home when only a boy, and naturally drifted into evil company. His one ambition Is to break away, and redeem himself, t am to anxious to help him, and wish you could realize his purpose, as I do, and become his friend. Won't you, for my take? Why, even in this affair he has not the slightest mercenary purpose—he has only thought of what was rightfully mine." Keith listened, feeling to the full the woman's earnestness, the impossibility of changing her fixed conviction. Hawley had planted his seed deep and well in fruitful soil. "You o c k e a strong and charming advocate. Miss Maclaire." he returned, feeling the necessity of saying something. "1 should like to have you equally earnest on my side. Tet it will be hard to convince me that 'Black Bart' is the paragon of virtue yo» describe. 1 with 1 might believe tor your take.

HAGGERTY AND PHILLIPS GIVE WAY TO WEBSTER AND PARKER. The Cecicion Deala With Haggerty and Phillips Only, But Will Cover All Other Warner Recess Appointees. Gov. Oshorn has wo» out In his contention that he hud a legal right to make appointments on certain .state boards, where' recess appointments had previously been made by ex-Gov. Warner, r.nd which the state senate had confirmed during the last se'sion of the legislature. John S. Haggerty of Detroit and Edward A.

Parker of Flint, both Osborn appointees, are to retain their places. A larpre hatch of recess appointments were sent to the sen:ite by Gov. Warner, and an equal number by Gov. Osborn. The senate confirmed a majority of the Warner appointments, and after the close of the session Gov. Osborn kset out to make appointments of men to replace some of those holding office by virtue of the action of the senate, Haggerty and Phillips both took their cases to the supreme court, and the opinions handed down deal with these two cases exclusively, but attorneys claim that the opinion will have u direct bearing on the balance of the Warner recens appointments. The opinion in the Haggerty case covers the Phillips case. two with some embarrassment, for a moment forgetful of his purpose. Hia gaze settled on the face of the lady. "Always getting" you two mixed." be blurted forth. "Never saw such resemblance— positively uncanny—same hotel too means trouble—this Miss Walte?" "No, Doctor; I am Miss Maclaire." "Ought to have known it—If 1 knew as much about faces as I do about anatomy never would mako such mistake— very sorry—what fooled mo was seeing you with Keith—thought he was after the other one—gay dog though—never satisfied—was hunting afte"r~you7' " ~ — "After me?" evidently amused. "Certainly—you—went to the room —then to the clerk—said you were In at supper—just occurred to me Btreets here bad at night—thought I'd ask you to let me escort you to theater and back—a bit of lunch later—" he glanced suspiciously at Keith— "probably got here too late." "Well, really, you have, Doctor," she replied sweetly, veiling her eyes to hide their laughter. "But I can assure you it iB not Mr. Keith," courtesylng slightly to the latter, "for he has not honored raer^we merely met by chance at the tabTe. T a m s u r e I should enjoy your company exceedingly, but to-night I must plead a previous engagement." "Ah—ah, some other night?" "With pleasure, yes." The doctor faded away into the office, not wholly satisfied because Keith still lingered. Miss Christie extended her hand. "Isn't he a funny man? But I do like him—someway I like so many people whom perhaps I ought not, including you, Mr. Jack Keith. Please think over what I told you about Mr. Hawley, won't you?" "Certainly; you have given me food for thought 1 presume he Is to be your escort?" She bowed, evidently resenting the question. "Yes, and it may interest you to know that he has something of the utmost importance to tell me to-nighthe has actually seen my guardian. Don't you wish you could be there?" She gave him a tantalizing smile, withdrawing her hand, and running up the stairs before he could answer. Over the railing of the landing she glanced down, and then disappeared. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

West as well as in the American West, there is a portion of the country in which the soil is the very best for the growing of cereals, but the geographical locations and relative position to the rain avenues, do not give the advantage that other parts possess in the matter of precipitation. Agricultural science, however, haw been making rapid progress during the past few years, and it is now ascertained that It is not altogether the number of inches of rain that is essential to the growing of crops, but its conservation, and that is the meaning of "Dry farming." "Dry Farming" may well be applied to dla-; trlcts where there is a heavy rain fall and better results will follow. The education of the public into these new methods, not new exactly, but such as have had satisfactory demonstra-. tlon, is not alone the purpose of these dry-farming Congresses. One idea is to bring into life and into operation the great areas of splendid land lying within what might be termed semiarid, without placing them under the restrictive and expansive process of irrigation. The Congresses aro attended by thousands and they bring representatives from all parts of the world. The- Province of Alberta, and also of Saskatchewan, has taken a vital interest in the Congresses which have been held in the past two or three years..,.. The Province of Alberta has made provincial exhibits, districts have shown their products, and last year, several hundred dollarB were taken in 'Lprizes; this year the Province of Alffberta took prizes ten to one in excess of any state In the Union. Alberta has won eight out of twenty special cups, that province taking one, Lethbridge one, Arthur Perry six, and John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying off one sweepstakes. When It came to> a matter of location for the Congress for 1912, the City of Lethbrldge, which had put up a splendid fight for it, secured the Congress by a unanimous vote. It is expected that the Lcthbridgo Congress will be the largest yet held aird will be the biggest convention in the history of Western Canada. In emphasizing his Invitation to Lethbridge, one of the speakers said he had just received a telegram from MagranrTneur Lethbrldge) stating that of ono thousand acres of wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and Bradshaw had thrashed 47,000 bushels. , Literature sent out recently by tho Canadian Government Agents, which will be sent postage free on application, tells of hundreds of gpIendjjL- "'''12 factory feature of the situation is the fact that, contrary to past experience, the six powers now practically aro united in their aimr, and desire regarding China.

The young woman had a sweet tooth and was not at all retiring about making the fact knewn. Accordingly, she hinted to her admirer that a box of chocolates would be greatly appreciated on the occasion of his next visit. Later the suggestion was repeated and again duly heeded. The third time the subject was broached, however, the dispenser of sweets turned a deaf ear to the entreaty. "I don't know about taking that girl any more candy," he confided to a companion next day.

This waa mad* quite a fete and In •he sixth century waa merged mi© •me feaat of St Martin, November 11, on which day the opening of the New .Tear was celebrated, While in Qermaar Martinmas and. New Year were identical, with Introduction of the Roman caleev the celebration was graduallf transferred to the first of January, and with it went many of the lolly Martinmas customs. Traces of these old New Year oeeervaneee and •upersitioni can still bo traced in the way the season Is kept 1» dtferent lands. Our decorations of greens, for inetaaee, are a relic of the old Roman stttperstltlon of presenting branches of . Arees for good luck in the coming fear. The glTing of presents has also come to us from the Romans. They outdid even the generous Americans, for they need to ask for gifts, if not received, until one of the emperors forbade his subjects demanding gifts save on the> New Year. One-oftheTavorlteNew Year's gifts after pins were invented in England, In ithe sixteenth century, were the rough hand-made plecea. of metal that took the place of bone and wood skewers.

''Jploves and glove money la * very ola. New Year custom which is still Kept up in the increasing use of gloves a* holiday gifts. Even more curious are the old Now Tear customs. Many of these are still observed by oid-rashiohed people who cling to the old traditions. The old-fashioned Englishman will formally open the outer door of his house on Now Year's eve just at tho Approach of midnight. This is to let out tho oM year aad usher in the new. The Scotch make much of New Year. It is generally ushered in with a "hot pint,'' browed at home aad drunk by the family standing around the bowl just as midnight strikes. After hearty greetings to the New Tear, the "hot pint," with bread, choeao and cakes, is taken to the houses of the neighbors. The first to enter another's home on the first of January bestows good luck on the family for the year. la many of the Scottish regiments t even yet the ushering in of New Tear Is moat picturesque).

Lady ANsi^tnni in Attendance Calls Answered Day or Night Gregory Telephone—(i, 1L-1N Gregory, Michigan HOW A FEUD AROSE By EVAN CAMERON Copyright by American P r e s s Aaao- , elation, 1911. Quarrels ure like tires. First thenis u spark, then a tiny flame, then a snapping, then u blazing tire, then u roaring conflagration. And the wors kind of quarrels are those between friends. Two pioneers, Daniel Simpson am' Uenry Underwood, emigrated with their families to the fur west and en tered land owned by the government They had been schoolmates and owntv farms side by side. There was no occasion for a dispute to arise between them so long as they remained in the east, for their boundaries had been surveyed and Axed generations ago, and, being well fenced, the stock of neither could trespass upon the other's premises. Therefore their affection for each other grew stronger, and the families were further bound together by an engagement between Eliza Simpson and .''rank Underwood, the oldest daughter of the one and oldest son of the other. The two friends each entered a quarter section of land, the two farm* being side by side. Simpson's land was more largely covered with tim ber than Underwood's, and this fact. became a wedge between them. A railroad soon after their settlement 01. the land was projected to run alongside their property, and It became ar once apparent that the timber would be valuable for ties. As soon as this was learned Underwood became interested in his boundary line cover! u._ as much of a wood as it could be stretched to cover. living on the line between the two properties. One morning Simpson went out toward his friend's property and found Underwood driving stakes on what he considered to be his own land. He protested, and Underwood declared that that was the dividing line and he was intending to begin the next morning to fell trees In order to be ready to supply the railroad with ties as soon as there was need. Simpson declared that every tree lie cut beyond a certain point would be robbery. Then Underwood called Simpson a pig and the tight was on. The next morning the ex-friends met on the lin»' of difji.ire. each having an ax with which to tell limber, and before the dar wa< over lnste-'d of fell raring trees they iVil»-d each other T.\s ther coinl'i!; h:>nic to supper, their re spective fai.'ilies vent out to look f<>> them and found their dead bodies, (hi skulls of both beh g cloven. The trouble threw 21 gloom over tntlfamilies, h was esinnhilly deploniblion account of the ^11^11 gerneut of tintwo young f**ople. i'rnuk Underwool iu order that there might he no niorr trouble, sent to the county seat for a surveyor, who Used the boundary- it turned out that neither his father nor his futher's friend was right, the true bouudry being a diagonal line with tinone ubout whirl] they contended. Nor was this all that was mistake:) in the matter. The disputauts hud not long been buried when the railroad to whose contractors they had expected to sell so many ties was discovered to be running the line several miles away from the property of either and through its own tiuiberland. One night when Eliza Simpson was sleeping at home she was awakened by the sound of axes being driven luto the trunks of trees. The sound seemed to her to come from the direction of the l>oundary line. She snt up in bed and listened. The ax men were apparently vying with each other, each striving to strike more rapidly. Eliza got up and went into her moth er's room to awaken her. but by the time she had succeeded in doing so the sound had ceased. The next morning when she had told of what she had heard all considered that she had been dreaming. Nevertheless she declared that she had heard the axes distinctly, the sounds corning from a point between the Simpsons' and the Underwoods' dwellings. When she told her lover about it he declared that if any such sounds led existed lie would have heard them more readily than his fiancee. since the Underwood house was nearer the line on which the timber bordered rli:m the Simpsons'. Eliza, who was positive as to what she had heard. gave him a sharp reply, and he left her in anger. Eliza Simpson heawT again the sounds of axes on the, boundary line. Since the double murder of the heads of fh». two families the conditions had been embarrassing, nnd the day after Eliza's having heard tbe mysterious ax men again Mrs. Simpson went to Mrs. Underwood and told of the oc eurronce. Mrs. Underwood had been under a strain ever since the catastrophe and upon Mrs. Simpson's visit lost her self control completely, declaring that she believed Simpson had murdered her husband, who acted simply in self defense. The families of the men who bad killed each, other now came to onee warfare ""]** mft.rh linfwpeu Eliza aii'1 Fntr.!; WA* Itrofc** off. a n i no one of the Simpsons *}M_k* t<» an Underwoo.!.

Did you ever uotice when a man smites his thumb with a hammer whil. .putting down a carpet under his wife's supervision how quickly he thrusts the bruised and throbbing*inember into his mouth? People think it is because the application is soothing. But the movement Is purely involuntarily, like winking. The man cannot help it. Thefuel is that nature knows what a man is apt to say under such circumstance* aiid so has provided him with an auto uiatic stopper. Whenever he hits hh thumb hard enough to hurt—and it doesn't take a very hard blow almost to kill a man when he is doing some thing he doesn't like to do—by a sort of interlocking system his thumb flies luto his mouth, and for tbe critical moment speech is cut oft.

After Jthey have well and duly prepared their festival cheer under the tree, they bring hither a milk-white cow a n d a bullock, hitherto unyoked; then t h e priests In white vesture climb into t h e tree and prune off the sacred herb with a gold hook, bill or sickle, the branches falling beneath into a white aagura theet. They must never touch, the ground." The^ common people rd main at a distance, formed in a drew, -while the priests approach with trembling awe the bloody victims/which were carried, around the omen fire. After this the. animals are slaughtered aa a sacrifice—doubtless to the godd e s s of fecundity, for the mistletoe is m symbol of the prolific. In the myths of all nations we find a "holy tree," a "world tree." Among t h e Druids, as well as among other creeds, this tree was the oak; and it It a very interesting thing to knoy that our word church—from kirk— finds its root in quervus, the generic name for the oak. This tree was cbertshed as the mother and nurse of and was supposed to be the i # 5 - ; ^ ' i & * w e J H n g nlace of the.food-dispensing "*$-':'-••&*''$#•*•' -*£•- omlnonffctettling of the i'w**V* and the mysterious notes of t * e feathered tonfrteri-tignalized the presence of the o m s K f to the awestruck votaries. wJto consulted the in- «-*ettJng otT^sJ/hbinlng odoriferous in fcomaae. .

The Yuletide custom of decking our churches and our homes with boughs, wreaths and garlands finds Its antecedence in heathen sanctuaries. The spirit of Christmas is most magnanimously manifested in York, England, where they carry mistletoe boughs to the high altar of the cathedral and proclaim "a public and universal liberty, pardon and freedom to all sorts of inferior and wicked people." They suspend it under the chancel arch and bear it" to the city gates, toward the four quarters of heaven. In the varied nomenclature of the word "mistletoe," according to the nationalities concerned, do we discover the magical virtues with which the weird plant is invested. Dr. Johnson says the word is derived from mistion, state of being mingled, tod or toe bush, in German it Is mlstel, mixed, and Saxon tan (Danish tiene, Dutch teene), twig, sprig. In Armorloan, Welsh and Irish it is all yach, or Its equivalent for all heal; and Pliny calls it omnia sanans, a term of slmltar import. — In upper Germany on Christmas morning they go about knocking on each other's doors, shouting "Gut hyl," the synonym for the Druid name. In Urlttany it is the herb de la Croix, which heals fevers and gives strength for wrestling. At the time of George f.-4t-was called iig&um sanota crucls— wood of the holy cross—so highly were its medicinal properties esteemed. Hung about the neck it renders witches powerless. It is used In houses to drive out evil spirits. It is an amulet against poisons, and the inhabitants of Elgin and Moray keep it as- charms. Throughout ~Brrtaanta~ir had a place assigned to It in every kitchen, and a young man was deemed to have the right to kiss any lassie Cpnght hpnaath thft rhgrtahed bra&ethand Norse traditions all emphasize the exorcising, as well a« the amatory propensities of the waxen spray. The Scandinavians have it consecrated to Freya, or Freyja—"from whom r.ows every blessing, the winning smile, the melting kiss." She is the Venus of the ,Noise pantheon, the goddess of love* of peace,' Joy, laughter, frultfulnesB, bringing Increase "to field and stall," and also the tutelary deity presiding over nuptials and child birth. A popular myth relates how Daldur, the wisest and noblest of the gods, is a victim of the inveterate hatred of Lokl, the Satan of the Eddas. The demon is bent on the destruction of the pre-eminently good god, so he and his emissaries. begin their persecutions by throwing missiles of all descriptions at BaSdur, all of which prove harmless, since the deity la under the protection of his mother, Freyja. In desperation Lokl. disguised as an old woman, is admitted to $ £ v celestial abode of Freyja, who In#0-; cently betrays the fact tbat*aU thiags had taken an oath to protect-Baldur excepting the mistletoe, which, being a parasite, was too feeble to harm. In secret joy the demon hastens back to Baldur, on the way fashioning an arrow of mistletoe, which soon pierces the heart of the divinity. After a sojourn in Hell—or Hades—the peaceful abode of the dead, the Saviour is restored to life, and on his resurrection he consecrates the mistletoe to Freyja—all cf which enshrouds divine truths In image and symbol. Astrologicaily Venus governs the mistletoe, as well as the lips, and all the tender demonstrations of Love, so let us ever propitiate the benignant goddess and— "Hang up Love's mistletoe over the earth, And let us kiss under it all the year round."

Rotoura has been laughing over the wording of a notice that has been placed by the public works department on some of the electric wire posts on the road to Okere, in New Zealand. Some time a^go a Maori youth, who seemed to have a misguided taste for experimenting, threw a long piece of cable over the electric wires that run to Rotoura from the power station at the Ogere Falls. The town was at once plunged in darkness for two or three hours until the mischief had been located. The dusky and youthful experimenter was carpeted in the court and fined for his scientific enthusiasm, and the department put up this notice: "Any person climbing the electric light poles or damaging the insulators are liable to a fatal shock and a penalty of £ 10."—Tit-Bits. 8 U R E N O T .

A woody, difficultly digestible combination such as these two feeds contains too great an excess of dry woody fiber which after long continued uso is apt to lead to serious digestive troubles. • On' the other hand, however, if these feeds are made more palatable and supplemented by small quantities of other feeds good results may be secured. English and Soetch feeders use straw with roots and Borne meal for dairy oows and beef cattle. Much can be done to make coarse feeds more palatable, Jt>ut J he \m£X pied in the winter and tbe extra work is more, than justified when hay is Wintering of his cattle. Under the f w o ^ b « 0 per ton, concentrates ¢25 term farmer in this connection we include more particularly those engaged in general farming rather than the dairy or beef producing specialist. The general farmer' Is not so apt to prepare for emergencies as the specialist. Following the severe drought of the past season there is a marked shortage of farm feeds accompanied by unusually high prices for the same. Under these conditions it is a common practice for the farmer to dispose of most of his cattle at a sacrifice rather than purchase the necessary high-priced commercial feeds. Where this is done a long period usually elapses before the farm is Yestocked. A great deal can be accomplished in the economic wintering of dry cows, Blockers, and even young growing animals if the coarser, less valuable farm crops are properly prepared and utilized. There is much feeding value in tbe straw of such crops as oats, wheat, beardless and hulless barley, cornstalks, corn fodder, etc., if properly utilized. But to $30 and straw $5 to $10. The following plan was employed oner winter an our home, farm when feeds were scarce and high priced. The, feeds. available, were limited quantities of wheat, oat, barley and pea straw, a goodly quantity of corn fodder and roots and a very limited amount of grain. All coarse fodder was run through the cutting box dropping Into a feed room 18 feet square and nine feet high, as follows: A small load of corn fodder would be cut first and spread on the floor followed by a thin layer of pulped roots followed by a small load of cut straw and then a thin layer of meal on which was put a layer of hay. These layers were then moistened with water supplied by a hose from the barn tank. Succeeding layers were placed upon these in order till the feed room was filled. This feed was consumed with great relish and even more so after it had begun to heat a little. There was absolutely no waste of feed and the cattle, numbering about 60 head old and young, came out in good Bhape In the spring. very undesirable results have be-fit required t w 0 half-days per week to putting hay, straw, corn. s.talks, etf. $roug%&»*fl|<t tbe same'and* m *lth It. ,Of> ist^bffli ,J1« ftea aj^-ibe .farm-. «p5ulty*opfiu: prepare the feed, the power being procured from an old-fashioned sweep power, now replaced by the more convenient steam or gas engines. The litter used was sawdust procured from a near-by mill. The extra labor involved 1¾ thus preparing the feed was justified In utilizing every available rough scrap as market quotations were ranging about the prices heretofore given. Ordinarily the farmor does not have the variety of rough feeds used in the illustration. Every farmer with live stock to winter over should have silage or roots, or even both. There are very few farmers who do not have time in winter to prepare the coarse crop products and render them mor« palatable and nourishing for their stock, - Those caught by ttre-serious situation of the present season should Jnot in the future neglect to provide succulence to be fed with the straw and corn stalks as an emergency ra ?tlon. i^WlLBUR P. -NEi' .«j>u..»iiMT.o«<«MiKuiaiB»ain*&a6fCCByw -awac Joy goes; but Sorrow stays To sanctify our d a y s - Joy Is the moment's flush Of mingled sound and sense, And Sorrow Is the hush When deeper thing* commerce; It has a grace to give To this life that we live.

Sluggish bowels will be followed by Idss of appetite, restlessness during sleep, Irritability and a dozen and one similar evidences of physical disorder. At the first sign pf such disorder give the child a teaspoonful of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at nlsht on retiring and repeat the dose the following night If necessary—more than that will scarcely be needed. You will find that the chUd will recover its accustomed good spirits at once and will eat and sleep normally. This remedy is a vast Improvement over salts, cathartics, laxative waters and similar things, which are altogether too powerful for a child. The homes of Mrs. Lu.Grunwald, 18 Perkins St., Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. J. P. MeLellan, Fountain, Mich., are always supplied with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and with them, as with thousanfts of others, there is no substitute for this grand laxative. It is really more than a laxative, for It contains superior tonic properties which help to tone and strengthen the stomach, liver and bowels so that after a brief use of, It all laxatives can be dispensed with and nature will do its own work.

The Scot has no monopoly of domestic felicity, as many a piquant paragraph bears witness. The other day an old farmer and his wife were "doin" the sights of a provincial town, and, among other places they visited a pinorama of South Africa. The views were extremely interesting, and the couple were enjoying themselves to the full. As scene after scene passed, the woman'? enthusiasm increased, and at length, turning to her husband, she exclaimed: "Oh, Sandy, this is really splendid. I could jist sit here all my days."

In answer to her impatient summons, she was quickly connected with Brown & Co.'s book store. "Have you sent out those books that were ordered for Mr. William Dunning?" she asked anxiously. The answer evidently pleased her, for she breathed a sigh of relief. "That's all right; I'm glad you haven't, for I have changed my mind about them. Please cancel the order." Marjorie hung up the receiver with an air of triumph. "There, I'm glad I thought of that! Billy would have construed a Christmas present into an abject apology," she said, her indignation rising at the very thought of such a thing. But when she went back to her parcels and picked up the little twig of holly she had intended tucking away Into one of them, her face softened. "I know that isn't the right kind of a Christmas spirit to have, but I cant have Billy thinking that I am admitting I was wrong, when I know I wasn't," she argued with herself. The joyous ringing of Christmas' beihr and merry 8heratB~oMrer'ygqsger sisters and brothers, when they discovered their stockings the next morning, only served to emphasize her depression. "Billy never loved me; if he really and truly did he never could treat me like this," she told herself as she stood looking with unBeeing_ey_gB_il-Jthesnowy Christmas world. Just then a young man, fairly tearing around the corner, arrested her attention. It was no less a person than Billy himself who was coming, post haste, to lee her. Marjorie looked at him In wonder. What had come over Billy? Whytnfs sudden contrition, when, she admitted it now for the first time, even to herself she had been greatly, if not altogether, to blame for their quarrel.

I brought one t>f the books with me to read something to you," he told her, and diving ins* his pocket he produced a little copy of "Romeo and Juliet" Marjorie was surprised for a second, then it flashed over her what it all meant. Brown & Co. had forgotten to cancel her order and Billy had received the books. Billy had construed her sending them into a humble plea Tor forgiveness. He most probably wouldn't have come at all if it hadn't been for that She stiffened visibly and all her love was swallowed up In a wave of rebel- Uous pride.

An old city provision dealer took his son into partnership. They organized a rapid transit delivery and sold a lot of provisions. But they fell out, and the son started in business on his own account, aud ttere was keen rivalry between them. One day the old man sent for his son. "My boy," be said, "it is neither seemingly nor profitable that we should compete this way; let us divide the city between us. Where you sell, I won't; and where I sell, you must not." "But/' said the SOB,"you have most of-the rich houses now; that won't leave much for me." "Well, of course," replied the father, "I'd like to keep as many of my old customers as I can; but come—I'll give you two-thirds of the city; you're young and can cover the ground better than I—only you must lef'nie choose my one-third. I'll give yofc a lot of the rich district all the same." The boy thought: "I don't keep mi$cb fine wines and other costly goods; and, anyhow, I'd rather sell for cash in the poorer sections than wait Cor the accounts of the rich." So be consented and an agreement was drawn up and signed. '*Now," said the old man, "you can have all the vacant lots."

When Mr. Lawton returned from a long conference with his son in the barn, Mrs. Lawton was In a fever of Impatience. "Well, did you find out what's the matter with him, Henry?" she asked, eagerly. "He's feeling kind of low-spirited," said Mr. Lawton. "He's made a bad investment of some money." "Speculating!" groaned the mother. "There, I knew we never ought to have let him go to the city alone to wort, no matter if 'twas a good offer. What's he been gambling in?" "Well, 'twasn't gambing, exactly," aaid Mr. Lawton, mildly. "He met a young lady that lived ten miles out, and be liked her so well that he bought him a flfty-ride ticket to her place, and the fourth time he went she told him that she was engaged to another young man. "He's my own boy, and be isn't one to let his affections spoil his life, so he told mo that when ho found out she was going to marry a man right In her own town and that he had business that took him Into the city now and again, he sealed the ticket right up in an envelope and laid it away to give 'em for a wedding present.

No word has moved with the times more thanJlpanlCx" Long ago in ancient Greece it was a mild fear inspired by mysterious sights and - -sounds among—tire-mountains a~nfl~vaTT leys by night, which were attributed to the god Pan. Nowadays it has a by no means supernatural significance on the stock exchange as it nearly did in Berlin the other day. "Panic fear" was the original expression, and in shortening it to "panic" we have all boy who calls his "comic paper" a "comic." Shaftesbury, two hundred years ago, would have used the word for any contagious feeling that seized upon masses of men. "There are many Pannfcks in Mankind besides merely that of Fear, And then In Religion also Pannick."

Sentenced for Life; John J. Gets 15 Years. T;he full text of the confession by James 9. McNamara, given to District Attorney Fredericks, was made public by Mr. Fredericks. It follows: "I, J a m e s B. McNamara, defendant In the case of the peopk', having heretofore pleaded guilty to the crime of murder, dt-alre to "make tins ^statement of facts: "And this is the truth. On the night of Wept. 30. 1'JIO. at 5:45 p. m., I placed in Ink Alley, a portion of the Times ijuildlng, a sultva**: containing 16 sticks of SO per cont dynamite, pet to exlloUe at 1 o'clock the next morning'.

If the giving of my life would bring them back I would ffladyly give it. In fact, In pleading guilty to murder in the first degree. I have placed my life in the hands ot the state. (Signed.) "JAMES B. McNAMARA." The confession covers one side of an ordinary shc^t of paper and was written with a fountain pen supplied by one of the attorneys. It is probably the only written statement of the case that will ever be made by the writer or his brother, John J. Mc- Namara, who pleaded guilty to dynamiting the Llewellyn Iron Works. John Joseph McNamara, secretary of the bridge and structural iron workers, a confessed and sentenced felon, is now with his younger brother, James Batuna McNamara, in San Quelntin prison, For 15 years John J. will serve within the same walls for his confessed part In dynamiting plots that have reached from ocean to ocean. James B. McNamara, the' brother who confessed he did the "job" his elder brother planned, and who said he set the bomb that destroyed the building of the Los Angeles "pines, when 21 lives were lost, will spend the rest fo his life in confinement. The two men were sentenced by Judge Walter N. Bordwell. Led into court by sheriffs, the two men waited while a clerk was sent scurrying out to get chairs for them. The prison pallor on the face of the younger man had been displaced by a nervous flush. Nervously chewing the gum between his teeth he looked around the court room with quick catlike glance's, his head drooping forward. Outside the nervous toying wkh his hands at a watch chain that dangled from his waistcoat, he displayed no sign of nervousness. A striking figure was John Joseph McNamara, the elder brother, big, strong and distinguished, as he stood wafting for the day's events. "Both men were dressed with extreme care. Both wore black. J. J. might have been an attorney, to judge by his appearance. He wore a high collar around which was draped a black tie. Presently the chairs were procured and the m<?.n sank into them. Elaborate prec utions were taken to prevent any demonstration, or attack on any of the actors in the closing scene of the great drama. The sentence was passed in a1 small court loom, near the jail, so that the men could be brought across a "Bridge of Sighs," and not have to be escorted through the streets. There were over a humtred "doputies, ba\Iiffs and policemen guarding the room and the corridors. At one time the room was cleared, and all who afterwards entered it, who might in any way be suspected, were searched, A heavy^ bar was laid across the door, so that there might be no "rushing" of the guards there.

" CAN Low Form of E.xplqslve Used, Where-. in Report Differs From Findings of the Samson Board. The United States battleship Maine, which sank beneath the waters of Havana harbor in February, 1898, as the result of an explosion, WSB blown up from the outside. This was announced late yesterday by the naval board which has been examining the wreck. The finding confirms the report of the original investigators, who made a careful examination of the wreck shortly after the disaster. The statement given out by the navy department is brief, Secretary Meyer does not believe it necessary to issue any extended explanation of the board's exclusion, beyond the flat statement that an exterior explosion was responsible for the logs of the warship and the lives of many men. The statement follows: Statement on Finding. "The injuries to the bottom of the Maine were caused by the explosion of a charge of a low form of explosive exterior to the ship between frames 28 and 31, strake B, port side. This resulted in igniting and exploding the contents of the six-inch reserve magazine, A-14-M, said contents including a large quantity of black powder. The more or less complete explosion of the contents of the remaining forward magazine followed. The magazine explosions resulted in the destruction of the vessel." The shock was felt throughout the country, when", on the morning of Feb. 18,1898, the news was flashed that the battleship Maine had teen blown up and sunk. In the harbor of Havana. Other great, tragedies have stirred the country, but none possessed so many dramatic elements and possibilities of tremendous consequents as did this. The first sensation of the nation felt even before horror over the loss of the brave seamen who had been killed in their hammocks, was v. belief that the explosion was the result of treachery on the part of Spain*. This feeling was so acute that it was with the greatest difficulty that President McKinley and other high officers of the government, prevented immediate demonstrations which would have ihevitably led to war, i <m < • . .

Sir Thomas Shaughnessy of the C&A nadian Pacific Railway Offered $1,00¾ in gold as a prize for the be6t 100 lbe%f:; of wheat, grown on the American tinent, to be competed for at the cent Land Show in New York. In£ makins.the competition open, t a * donor of this handsome prize showed his belief in the superiority of Canadian wheat lands, by throwing the contest open to farmers of all America, both United States and Canada. The United States railways ,were bjr^ no means anxious to have the Cfc^ nadlau. railways represented at th« ; show aaa* a New York paper cam meat* J ing on the results of the competition*.¾. says that they were not to- be blaara^r^ as the Canadians captured the mjfaPV Important prize of the show. ^ ^ The winner of this big wheat priapf* was Mr. Seager Wheeler of Rosthert^' Saskatchewan, and its winning naft:. brought a great deal of eredit OB the - district. The winning wheat was tbe> Marquis variety, and received no more attention from Mr, Wheeler than his other grain, but he is a very particular farmer. Hip farm Is one of th&:' cleanest and best kept in the ftoathern district, and this year he won first prize in a good farm competition which included every feature of farm* ing and every part of the farm. Last winter Wheeler was a prize winner. at the provincial seed fair in Regina. Wheeler Is a firm believer In aow- Ing clean seed of the best quality procurable, consequently his grain la much sought after by the best farmers for seed purposes. Wheeler is an Englishman. He is a pioneer of Rosthern, coming here fifteen years ago. In the last six years be has done much experimenting, par* ticularly In wheat varieties. His farm resembles an experimental farm. A iorrg driveway, lined on both sides with trees, leads to a modest house,, the home of Wheeler, a modest, unassuming man with the appearance of a student rather than a man engaged in commercial pursuits. There are now no free homesteada> to be had in this district, and farm hands are worth from $20 to f40 per acre, which a few years ago were secured by their present owners, either as a free gift or purchased at from $5 to $J3 peY acre. It Is not many miles from Rosthern, where the farmer-Jives, who secured the first prize for wheat last year at the National Corn Exposition at Columbus and West of Rosthern, about lpO miles, lives Messrs. Hill and Son, who won the Colorado Silver Trophy, valued at $1,500, for the best peck of -oat*, also awarded"If*Ibe Natftmaf— - Corn Show at Columbus In 1910. Not contented with the high honors obtained in its wheat, Canada again stepped forward into the show ring; and carried off the Stlllwell trophy and $1,000 for the best potatoes on the continent. This time the winner was a British ColumbJa^^mana__Mr1 -Asahet~Smltb7~tKe~TrPotato King," of that province.

"He thought he was dealing with Christie Maclaire. He bad some reason for getting her away; getting her where he could exerclBe influence over her." "Yea—yes; but who is Bhe?" "That is what makes the matter so hard to unravel. She doesn't even know herself. Hawley is going to take advantage of her Ignorance in this respect, and convince her that she is the person he wishes her to represent-—but who is the person? If we knew that we might block the game-" Both sat silent, striving to figure out some reasonable explanation. "Do you know of any special papers your father carried?" he asked. "No; none outside his business agreements." "Has any one ever disappeared connected with your family? Did you have an older sister?" /'Fred and I were the only children. Why should you ask that question?" "Because something of that nature would seem to be the only* rational explanation. Your brother must have told Hawley something—some family secret—which he felt could be utilized to his own advantage. Then he saw your picture, and was immediately reminded of the remarkable resemblance between you and Christie Maclaire. Evidently this discovery fitted into bis plan, and made it possible for him to proceed. He has been trying evsr since to get an interview with the -woman, to sound her, and Ilud out what lie can do with her. He has written letters- sufficiently exbring him here. He would tell yoti whatever it was he told Hawley, and that will give us the clue." He picked up his hat from the table, but she rose to her feet, holding forth her bands. "1 cannot thanfc you enough, «Captain Keith," she exclaimed frankly. "You are doing so much, and with no personal interest—" "Oh, but I have." The long lashes dropped over the brown eyes. "What do you mean?" "That I have a personal interest—in yqu, Hope." She stood silent, her bosom rising and falling to rapid breathing. "You don't mind my calling you Hope? I haven't got used to Miss Walte yet." Her eyes met his swiftly. "Of course, not,. Such ceremony would be foolish after all you have done for me. Do—do you call her Christie?" He laughed, clasping her hands closer. "1 assure you no—she is stfictly Miss Maclaire, and." solemnly, "shall t e to the end of the chapter." "Oh, well, I didn't care, only that was what you called her when you were telling me what she said. Are you going?" "Yes, to find Fred; the sooner we can get this straightened out, the better."

Interested before, yet forcing himself into indifference now that he knew who she really waa, the man made full aurrender. It was a struggle that kept him from claspini the slender figure in his arms, and pouring forth the words of teaderness which he sternly choked back. This was neither the time, nor the place, yet his eyes must have spoken, for Hope's glance fell, and her cheeks grew crimson. "I do not need to pled|e you to return this time, ao I?" she questioned, her voice trembling. "No," he answered, "nor any time The bail was deserted, but a few men loitered tn the office. Keith recognised none of the faces, and did not atop to, make any inquiries of the dark. It was growing dark, the lights already burning, and from the plashtag of dropf on*the window, it must be raining outside. Hawley would surely have ended bis call upon Miss Maclaire long before thl#, and left the hotel. However iBtereettftg his com* mtmieatton might have proven, see aajiet nUAer.eTaaiai for supper and rest- As to the result of that interview there could be little doubt. Providing the gambler possessed the proper papers he would have small difficulty in convincing the girl that she was indeed the one Bought Keith had probed sufficiently into her mind to feel assured that her inclination was to sida.with Hawley. Under all the circumstances' this was natural enough, and he did not blame her. He glanced into the bar-room as be passed, not in any anticipation, but merely from the vigilance which becomes second nature- upon the frontier. Hawley stood leaning against the bar, where he could see any one passing through the hall. The eyes of the two men met, but the gambler never moved, never changed his attitude, although*Keith noted that his right hand was hidden beneath the skirts of his long coat. The plainsman drew back, facing his enemy, until he reached the outer door. There was a sneer on Hawley's dark sinister face like an invitation, but a memory of the girl he had just left, and her dependence upon him, caused Keith to avoid an encounter. He would fight thfs affair out In a different way. As the* door opened and he slipped forth into the gloora, he brushed against a man apparently Just entering. The gleam of light fell for an instant upon the face of the other—it wya ticotty with the> rtd moustactie. They had been watching for him then—what for? Hawley on the inside, and this man Scott without, were waiting to determine when he left the hotel; would 'probably dog his footsteps to discover where he went. Keith loosened his revolver, so as to be assured he could draw quickly, and slipped back into the shadow of the steps, his eyes on the door of the hotel. There was a cold, drizzly rain tailing, the streets almost deserted, appearing sodden and miserable where the lights shone forth through saloon windows. One or two men, seeking supper, coat collars turned up and bats drawn low over their eyes, climbed the rickety steps and went in, but no one came out. Perhaps he was mistaken as to the purpose of those fellows; they may have desired merely to know when he left, or Scott's return Just at that moment might have been an accident. To be sure, the hotel possessed a back exiU but he could not cover both ends of the building, and muBt take Ms chuhces. It wa3 too wet and disagreeable to remain crouched there, now •thttt-H-w^B-_evtd'ein~th"e'ro~wM'~"ho"Thtentlon of following him. With hand on the butt of his gun, suspicious and watchful, yet with «ecarcely a faster beat to his heart, Keith straightened tip, and began splashing bis way through the mud down the street, He knew where Wllloughby would be most likely found at this hour—with cronies' -at the "Tenderfoot"—and Ire meant to discover the boy, and make him confess to Hope the truth. Matters had now reached a point where longer delay was dangerous. Sheridan was seemingly dead, the long street silent, gloomy, black, except for those streams of saloon light shining across pools of water. A few wanderers ploughed through the muck, dim uncertain shapes appearing and vanishing in the gloom. He had gone a block and over, the struggle against the elements leaving him forgetful of ail else, when a man reeled out of some dimly lit shack to his right, and staggered drunkenly forward a few feet In advance. He could barely distinguish the fellows's outlines, giving little thought to the occurrence, for the way was unusually black along there, the saloon opposite having shades drawn. Suddenly a flash of red fire spurted Into the night, with a sharp report. It waa so close at hand it blinded him, and he flung up one arm over his eyes, and yet, In that single instant, he perceived the whole picture as revealed by the red name. He saw the man in front go down in a heap, the projection of the building from behind which the shot came, the end df a wagon sticking forth Into the street which bad concealed the assassin. The blinding flash, the shock ot that sudden discharge, for a moment held him motionless; then he leaped forward, revolver In hand, sprang around the end of the wagon, and ruahed down the dark allay between two buildings. He could see nothing, but some one was running recklessly ahead of Him, and be fired (n the direction of the sound, the leaping apurt of flame yielding a dim outline %f the fugutive. Three times he pressed the trigger; then there was nothing to shoot at—the fellow had faded away Into the black void of prairie. Keith stood there baffled, staring about into the gloom, tha smoking revolver in his hand. The sound of men's voices behind waa all that reached him, and feeling the uaelessnese of further pursuit, he retraced his way tack through the narrow passage.'

At its head ia Rev. Frank W. Sandford, one ot the most remarkable religious leaders in the world. The colonists are called 'The Saints, or the Holy Ghost and Us." The leader is called Elijah the Sec- Snd. To his followers he is the direct bpresentative of God on earth; to his detractors he is a hypnotist; to the casually interested, a tanatlc Always more or less in the world's eye through the adventures and oilsadventures of its energetic leader and his disciples, who rove the seas and carry the "word of God to all countries of the earth," the Holy Ghosters esteem to have come to the zenith of their notoriety. The yacht Coronet, one of a ileet of several craft belonging to the colony, arrived at Portland recently, battered and sea-fouled, her topmasts gone, her sails torn to ribbons, and her woris-eaten hull riddled with the borings of the dread teredo worm of the tropics, leaking 1,000 strokes an hour. On board were Sandi'ord, his family, and fifty other members of the Holy Ghost sect, most oi them living skeletons from the ravages of scurvy and weakened to the point of exhaustion from many days' work at the pumps. Soon after their arrival three men were sent to the hospital by port officials. Sandford hiim-ielf was arrested on a civil suit brought by a woman, who claimed that she had been Illegally detained Pvo years previously when she wanted to leave the Holy Ghost barkentino Kingdom, and after the Holy Ghost leader had given $10,000 bail on this charge he was soon after arrested again by the Federal authorities, charged with being responsible for the death of one of his flock who had been buried at sea, and for the illness of the others, both charges being based on the fact that he had kept them at sea in a boat improperly provisioned when he might have made port. It was fifteen years ago, in one of t h e q u a i n t e s t and cm letest Quaker communities of Maine, lor the inhabitants of Durham, outside of Shiloh, are largely Quakers, that He v. Frank W. Sandford and his "Saints of the Holy Ghost and Us" crusade established the headquarters of their remarkable creed and started the erection of their Temple. When the first spadeful of earth was turned Sandford's sole capita] and equipment was three cents, a wheelbarrow, and a shovel. John Henry Douglass, whoso name is now immortallzed amongst--8hiiohttes, gave the land of his home farm for the site. Other farmers became converted by the young leader, then only eleven years out of college. They gave their time, tholr labor and their land, and, finally, themselves to "the movement," as the Shilohltes speak of their work. 8EQUENCE OF WORK HELPS IN GETTING MEALS. Though fanatical, an extremist in | nlcality of clearing at every port, as f ••:•• l ^ < • » * - • * •to m :/ •••• > f ^ R . ; . Slowly a~great" white Temple, tne wings serving the purpose or a dor- j mitory, was erected, a four-story brick hospital was added,•" and several cottages sprang up. Sandford's original three cents, invested in the "bank of God," as the Holy Ghoeters would say, bore heavy interest, and now an outlay of ¢200,- 000 or more Is represented in the buildings on "the hill top'; The way in which money has at times poured into tho coffers of the Shilohltes has astounded the curious outside world. Sandford's method of securing funds is to pray. He declares that God has never yet failed him with money when it was needed. "The Saints'of Shiloh" say that God himself ordered the erection of this Temple and selected its site; that he furnished the money with which to build; that each successive stage of construction has been marked by a miracle in order that It might be shown that Ood was directing; that is to say, when it seemed, time after time, that money and material were nowhere to be had, when it appeared that the work had stopped for good, supplies were promptly furnished through supernatural agencies. The Saints also assert that Shiloh hai been commended from on high in many other ways. They claim t h a t one person, Mrs. Olive Mills, died in the Temple and was afterward raised from the dead through the agency of Chief Evangelist Sandford; that hundreds of persons have been healed in Sbtlob's hospital "Bethesda" of all manner of bodily infirmities; that have been cast out by the that, in short, every miracle >rded In the New Testament has repeated and wrought there as a gtgn that Ood approves this second evangelisation of the world. And a s further proof of the sincerity of tbm faith all the good works of Saitoh are done "without money and without price." Every comer is welcome. All strangers are received at the gates to hospitable fashion, are fed and lodged and prayed for, and may atay or depart as their own volition directs. Evangelist Sandford is the head of the Shiloh movement. He started it. It is to him directly, so the -claim is mad*, that Ood makes all the revela- U o n a ^ h a t 4 n « said to justify the endeavofs of tfce Safcta. When at Shllofr Kvansailst Sandford ascends each day t o the-summit of a Jotty tower in the VeArffetetifitf there, so'he states, "talks . . . . , " ; * • • . < ; • ' - religious matters, firmly holding to the belief that we must return to the ways of apostolic times, and intolerant of every creed, the evangelist exercises a wonderful power over his proselytes. He inspires the whole movement. His disciples who go abroad through the country preach as he directs them to preach. Of a magnetic presence, and ready and impetuous Indiscourse/he sways, his audlences in remarkable fashion, and his detractors have accused him of hypnotism. In 1887 Sandford graduated from Bates college in Lewis ton. He was a fine scholar but not a grind, for he was an athlete as well. Had Sandford stuck to professional baseball he might have been the idolof thousands of big league fans. Ho put the same intense energy, the same concentration into bis baseball playing that he does_into_hJs_«ligloju_and_he was one of, if not the greatest coUegeFcatchera Maine ever saw. For one year after leaving he played semi-professional ball with equal success. "God called" this stalwart, blonde, blue-eyed, determined young man and h~e entered the ministry. He started as the pastor of a Free Will Baptist church in. a flourishing Jiew__Hamp^ ahlre town. He was considered a very brilliant young clergyman. He was not satisfied, however, with the limited field in which he worked. He talked the matter over with his wife, and both decided that he was not preaching Bible, neither were they living Bible. So he preached his farewell sermon and explained to his astonished parishioners that he proposed to give away all his property and go forth into the world. He said that he never again would accept a cent of money tor preaching, nor allow a contribution box to be passed in his presence. This surrender of a comfortable house and a good salary was looked upon by the friends of the young couple as a sad example of Quixotic faith. Practical people endeavored to dissuade them. But they broke up their home, gave all their property to the poor, and came down into Maine penniless, "without knowing where to lay their heads." After three years and a half spent in making converts to the movement* the motto of which is simply "the Truth." and in evangelization, work on the Temple at Shiloh was begun. Then with more money coming In, and the "bank of God" apparently always open to Sandford, the first vessels of the Holy Ghost fleet were purchased, and Sandford's dream of the evangelization of the world became more like a reality than a mirage. Several small schooner yachts served out their usefulness, until finally the good-sited barkentine Rebecca Crowell was purchased, and then the famous schooner yacht Coronet, which twenty years ago was hailed as the speediest of b«r class when she defeated the Dauntless in the memorable race across tne oeoan. Recently the steam yacht Alsailfct, said to have been loaned by a friend, has been added and is by far the most pretentious vessel which the Holy Ghosters have ever nsvigated. The name of the Rebecca Crowell was changed to the Kingdom, and after several years of service she went on the rocks on the west coast of Africa last April. One day several weeks later the Coronet picked up the thirty-three survivors in the English settlement of Bathurst and brought all hct«lw>»afe1y to this country > on this last tftp. •• :- . With bis usual shrewdness Sandford incorporated his fleet, and they sailed as the "Kingdom Yacht club/' In this way they avoided the teenis required of merchant vessels. All over the world these vessels have sailed carrying Sandford and his disciples with the "word of truth" to many lands. Many times temporary colonists were left in foreign countries to scatter the seeds of the movement. They went to Liverpool, where a branch was established and where one enthusiastic friend donated « -magnificent residence—as -hea4<B*ar*- ters of the sect. They carried their religion-right to the Holy Land Itself, and Palestine and Assyria were Invaded. When the Coronet was obliged to turn back in the North Atlantic on her last ill-starred voyage she was bound for Greenland, where it was intended that the Holy Ghosters should pass the winter spreading the "truth." The customs and the modes of life at Shiloh are unique. In the big tower, which stands sharp against the sky and can be^seen~for many mite8, constant pray,er is offered to God. Regularly, like sentries of the faith, one after another takes his or her turn in prayer. Never since the tower was built ha9 this ever been vacated. The Shilohltes live much after the mmmunity ay-fitem^-There ia _a_cornmlBsary department. So many loaves of bread, so much flour, so much of this and that is given out as the Lord directs, some days in plenty, others frugally. They raise scarce enough for their sustenance; the land is poor. They pray rather than work. You will see them walking about hour after hour reading the Bible with heads bowed. They don't fear starvation. "The Lord will provide" they tell you. The children have schooling in the ordinary branches, but the Bible is their chief text book. There is one white building specially dedicated to the young folk called the "Hosanna." The Holy Ghosters do not believe In mourning. When a person dies the body is placed in a primitively rude casket. The ceremony at the grave is almost nope. Tears are rarely shed. The body is but a worthless husk, they say. When Ood takes the spirit why should we mourn. The population at Shiloh numbered 200 soon after the first temple was built, and has held near that figure ever since. They represent almost all states In the Union, and several foreign countries. Many of them were well to do when they Joined the colony, but thefr goods, chattels and all worldly wealth Is turned In for the common good. They seem to give away their farms and their bankbooks willingly, too. In the slang of the day, "It's like taking candy from a baby." Endless Chain. The noted actor, who had consented to give a reading for the benefit of a certain charity, arrived home late that night with a very worried look on his face.

Going into the kitchen to make one dish, or ge'ting supper for which much of the food has been previous.y pre^ pared, gives no idea of one of the chiel difficulties in getting meals—the se^ quence of work. Unless the thoughtful end orderly arrangements are made the cook may find she is required to perform two pieces of work i t once, and the last moments before the meal will be crowded with more things than can possibly be done, acc r d i n g to. a contributor to the Delineator. The time required to cook different articles of food often furnishes a sort of schedule for getting the meal. Time must be allowed V>t preparation before cooking and for finishing touches after cooking. Except when a gas range is used, the fire is the first thing to attend to. The other things to be arrangod for naturally fall into three groups, to the first of which belong the things which take a long time to cook. Baked and boiled meats, oatmeal, certain puddings and vegetables which are cooked slowly are among those which may be prepared and put on the fire as soon as it is ready for them. Between this and the second grour is an interval which may be used for preparing the dishes of the second group and for setting the table, arranging salad, putting dishes to warm, etc. The second group contains vegetables and desserts, which cook in from 30 to 45 minutes, or anything which is needed in the concluding preparations of the other foods. Now comes another interval, in which cold food, such as bread, butter and milk, may be put on the table, Preparations must also be made for the cooking necessary to the third group, and collecting on the kitchen table seasonings, butter and milk for the cooked vegetables and meat. The third group contains things which must be done in a very brief time before the meal. These are broil- -ing-meatr preparing cooked vegetableefor the table, making sauces and gravy, putting beaten egg or vermicelli in soup and getting everything ararnged in dishes. Then there are three last things for the housewife to do before the meal: To see that the fire is in condition to leave; that soiled pots and pans are filled with water, and last of all to take an instant to wash her hands, remove her apron and make herself presentable, Get a Free Package At Your Praggisf s Wonderful New Treatment for Sidneys, Bladder, Rheumatism, Backache— Thousands of Free Samples Being Given Away!

WHO WANTS "SISSY" MAN Since Bishop HendHx Would Drive ' Him From the Church Whltffsr Will He Flee? I Bishop E. R. Hendrix, in a church council at Kansas City, asked why the chureh was not reaching more men. "Is it because we are adapting our work more to the j^omen?" be demanded. Another prominent.clergyman, Rev. S. M. Neel, M. D., opined that was' somewhere near the reason. "We want no more sissy men in the pul* pit," he declared. A "siBsy" man. In this definition, is one who adapts his preaching and his teaching and his general conduct of parish affairs more to the women—blesB them—than to the men. Dr. Neel Is heartily applauded by a large number of his pulpit brethren and the spirit of the times in the church, as manifested in such enterprises as the "Men and Religion Forward Movement" seems to emphasize what he says—the call and need for the strong, virile man in the pulpit 4 who appeals to the man in the pew and in the street, for making the gospel a man's appeal, not, of course, depreciating the Indispensable value of the women. .

PATTEN, Experiment Station Chemist, East Lansing, Mich. •«»»»•»»•»»»»»«soeee•»»»»»< A fertilizer may be defined aa any material, which, when added to the soil, will furnish some form of plant food (.nitrogen, phosphoric acid, or potash) to the growing plant, or will materially Increase the supply of tnese In the toll. A high grade fertilizer is one which contains the plant food In a fairly concentrated and readily available form. Nitrate of uoda, bone meal, muriate and sulfate of potash may be mentioned as examples of high grade fertilizing materials. A low grade fertilizer is one which contains the plant food in small amounts or in slowly or difficulty available forms. As examples of this class, the following may be mentioned: Garbage, tankage, ground leather, dried peat, untreated phosphate rock, etc. When these materials are sold separately it is not a difficult matter to determine what they are nor how much and how available is the plant tood, for they are usually known and sold under distinctive names. Exhaustive experiments have been made as to availability of the plantfood in practically all of the pertlllzlng materials found on the market today, and such information will be gladly furnished by the state experiment elation, East Lansing, Mich. Wfcee these materials are mixed together to form the mixed fertilizer of commerce it becomes a much more difficult matter to decide as to the availability of the plant-food for most of them completely lose their Identity. In pttrch cases it is Impossible for the ordinary person to tell with the eye what materials were used in compounding the fertilizer. In respect to the phosphoric acid and _P_ota?.h, however, we may have no misgivings, for almost invariably the phosphoric acid is obtained from acidulated rock phosphate or bone meal, and in either case is readily available, practically all of the potash used in ttiercial fertilizers is in the form 'aftirlate or sulphate of potash, and both these compounds are soluble In ifater there need be no fear of obtaining unavailable potash. The materials furnishing notrogen, on the other hand, are many and varled,_ and they differ greatly in nitrogen availability There have been several methods proposed for determining the availability of the nitrogen In such orgaaic materials, but none of them have been- generally accepted, so that we are still somewhat at the mercy of the manufacturer In regard to the quality of the nitrogenous materials used In the commercial, fertilizers. Were is one rule, however, that may spire to guide us in the purchase -e^lirtjllsers. Purchase,,only, _those commercial fertilizers that have 14 per cent, or more of total plant fond. PEST COMMON ON LOWLANDS High grade matertalB usually hare a high percentage of plant tood, and low grate materials, on the Other hand, usually have a low percentage o{ plant tood. tTbuj- n*b(Ete':pr .sofa contains 15,5 per cent, iitrogen; dried blood, 12-14 per cent, nitrogen; high gradw tankage, U per cent., while-gwh ( | *e tankage contains only 3 per cent, nitrogen and mora meal 2.69 per cent, nitrogen. When the high grade nitrogen compounds are mixed with acid phosphate and muriate of potash, the resulting mixture must necessarily be one of high grade; for example: 300 lbs. dried blood containing 14 per cent, nitrogen. 1,400 lbs. acid phosphate containing 14 per cent phou. acid. 300 lbs. muriate potash containing 50 per cent, potash. 2,000 The mixture would have the following analysis: 2.10 per cent, nitrogen. 9.80 per cent, phosphoric acid. 7.50 per cent, potash. MRS. PATTERSON ACQUITTED Woman Who Slew Her Husband is Freed by Denver Jury. Gertrude Gibson Patterson ha* be«n declared not guilty of the murder of her husband on Sept. 2";. The jury in her case agreed on its verdict less than 14 hours after tin' case had been finally submitted to th-em. The verdict came as a surprise. It had been persistently rumored that it was a finding of guilty. In fact it was reported that the jurorB hail agreed that Mrs. Patterson was guilty and that they were delayed only by inability to determine of what degree of homicide she should be convicted. Mrs. Patterson herself had become convinced that she could not expect acquittal. Not one person in 1,000 in Colorado believed that Mrs. Patterson would be acquitted. No one expected her to be hanged but the great majority felt sure that she would be found guilty of some charge and receive a ''light sentence. 19.40 The proportion In which the materials are mixed may be varied, but so long as no inert Material (filler) is added the mixture will be a high grade fertilizer. If, for example, the low grade materials are used, we may have a mixture like the following: 300 lbs. garbage tankage containing 3 per cent, nitrogen. 200 lbs. dried peat containing 2.50 per cent, nitrogen. 1,200 lbs. acid phosphate containing 14 per cent. phoa. acid. 300 lbs, kainlt containing 12 per cent, potash. W. L D0l)GUS' TRUST PUN Manufacturer - Thinks Government Should Obtain Publicity by a License System. 2,000 This mixture would have the following analysis: 0.70 per cent, nitrogen. ; 8.40 per cent, phosphoric acl<J. 1.80 per cent, potash. 10.90 If samples of these two mixtures were placed side by side it would be impossible for the ordinary person to tell from their appearance which of the two was the betU r. However, the anal* sis would give, some guide, as the total percentage of plant food In the first case is 10.40 and in the second case 10.90. It would not be possible to make such a mixture as number one out of low grade "nrateriaj, and neither would it be possible to make such a mixture as number two, using high grade materials, without using a considerable quantity of filler. It is invariably true that the plantfood costs more per pound in the low grade fetillzer than In the high grade fertilizer. In other words, the plantfood In a fertilizer retailing for (23 per ton costs more per pound than in a fertilizer retailing at $40 per ton. The plant-food in the high grade fertilizer \p mnrp enncpntratpd and—less ©f- t t - wlll be required than of the low grade to produce the same effect Russia Opens War on Persia.

Large business organizations have come to «tay. We cannot go back to old conditions. We must meet world cqmpetltion. Large "concerns can produce goods at lower cost than small ones. Germany favors large corporations. The method of the present national administration is to dissolve the great organizations and make them smaller, which is a backward step. There should be no limit to a corporation doing a large and legitimate business, such as would be possible under the licensing plan which I favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former governor of Massachusetts, in the Hoston Herald, Prejudices against corporations merely because they are big, perhaps, must be done away with. They give labor better returns. They cheapen product and thus benefit the consumer. They give opportunities to small investors who get returns otherwise (unattainable. They employ able young men who have no capital at all, but who receive handsome salaries for their ability and service. In place of the Sherman law it Is my opinion there should be a department at Washington to grant licenses to all manufacturers and corporations in this country who do an interstate commerce business. The law sheuld be made so clear, plain and definite that it could not be misunderstood. It should require all capital to be paid in full. Semi-yearly statements should be given to the public and certified by a public accountant. There should be a board of examiners is each state to look after these corporations just as our national banks are watched by the national government. They should have the right to enter the offices and examine the records of all the directorates of these companies. One of the Boonet. From San Antonio, Tex., comes Harry Boone, Itinerant scribe.

Old carpets, blankets, etc., often will be found useful In helping to make the bins tight. Measure the Inside of the bin, counting in the air space above the grain, If the bin is not entirely full, and place some old pans or plates on top of the grain. Then for every cubic foot of space in the bin, put a dram of liquid carbon bisulphide in the pans and quickly close the bin. Thus a pound of the liquid will suffice for about one hundred cubic feet of space or a little more, or for about one hundred bushels of grain. This treatment is far more effective during warm weather than In cold. During severe cold weather the Insects are dormant and resist the action of the fumes quite successfully. If the seed or grain Is more than two or three feet deep in the bin, the liquid should be poured into it at some depth tn order to insure its spreading evenly and filling all the space treated-. This is easily done with a piece of gas-pipe fitted with a wooden stick for Its entire length. The pipe with the stick in place is thrust down half way to the bottom of the bin, the stick withdrawn and the liquid poured down through the pipe. The stick merely prevents the pipe from becoming filled when thrust into place. The bin should remain tightly closed for from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, a longer exposure is likely to injure the germinative power in some seeds. ' The liquid carbon bisulphide, on being liberated, win be quickly transformed into a gas, which being heavier than the air, settles to the bottom and fills all the air spaces between the seeds or kernels.^ Tqe Jiqnid costs about thirty cents' for a single pound, or five pounds for a dollar.

"Six months ago there was another outburst of optimism as naive as though the world were still living in the sentimental era of glas9 exhibitions. Since then there has opened another era of political earthquakes and, conflagrations, and the area of disturbance continues to extend. Before the Tripoli problem has been safely liquidated or the peace of the Halkans is assured, we have the outburst in China of an insurrection which may change the face-of the far east and give an incalculable increase of force to all the Impulses set moving by the triumph of Japan. All we can be certain of in the region of world politics is that nothing Is certain. Do we need further lessons to convince us that the peace of civilization is founded upon the crust of a volcano?" asks the London Observer.

The Pension Department is now considering a plan of disbursing r^nsioit money__which, if put into effect, will save the government a large amount of money.

In order to be perfectly sure that hay is well cured on our father's farm, we always put it up into goodsized cocks and allowed it to remain about two days. This second handling exposes all the damp hay to the air and is swift in curing. If you hare a hay-loader, count yourself lucky; but if not, hitch two horses to the end of a pole about eight feet long, straddle one or two cocks and drag them to the stack, if the hay is to be left standing in the flel(J. A device shown in the cut is a home-made stacker recommended by an Illinois farmer. He says thla stacker when equipped with a fork and an active horse, will handle all the hay six wagons can bring in. The rope is fastened at the top and bottom of a strong, slanted pole, and tha fork hangs over the center of the stack. The wagon la placed alongside the board slldeway and the fork used the same is in the barn. If the hay is to be stored in the barn, you will need a steady team on the wagon. The hayrack ought to be about sixteeen feet long and ten feet wide. If you are a good loader, boardB at the end and sides will not be necesgary. When you arrive at the barn with a load, hitch a steady horse on the end of the rope attached to the hay-fork^ aet the harpoon aa deeply aa possible, and the horse will draw up 300 pounds in a twinkling. When the hay has run along the carrier to the point where it Is to be • if- . ^' 1**""' Vialting Couairr"Driving T e a m . dropped, pull the whip-cord, and there you are. With a bright boy to handle the horse on the rope and an experienced man on the load, it can be put into the barn In ten minutes or less. Always begin at the back end of the mow, or the end farthest from the chute to the barn floor, because when the hay is put in in that way, It will come out easier when being fed. It la a good plan to place the hay level in the mow when i t is being unloaded. If you can get an extra man to help, so much the better; If not, do the best you can betweaa bite* with the fork, and keep the mew as level aa possible.

It Has Been Found to Be M o r e Nutritious T h a n Timothy and Nearly Equate A l f a l f a . In the peat horse feeders have not understood the value of clover hay. Glover should constitute one of tbe main coarse roughages for horses. It hat been found to be more nutritious than timothy and nearly equals alfalfa in this respect Feeders object to it, however, because of its tendency te produce heave* and other respiratory troubles when fed in a dusty or etherwise unclean condition. These objection* do not apply to clover which la cut at the right time* properly cured* and free from dust mold. Moldy clever will often cause acute Indigestion aad even death. Those who do not care to feed straight clover will find that a grade of light clover natxed wHl give better results than tttnothy, and there Is no good reasoa why ft should sot be used extensively.

MICHIGAN JEWS ARE iONGEST LIVED Their Average Age la Nearly Twelve Yeari Greater Than That of Christians. m PULE Superficial scrutiny of the vital statUtlcB yields the Jew a prominent por t i o n in the sanitary world, if longevity serveB aB any index of hygienic liv ing. With the average length of life for all Christian people placed at thirty-six years eleven months (1900) the Jew may hope to reach forty-eight years nine months. Neufville (1855), inquiring into the comparative duration of life and causes of deaths of Jews and Christians in Frankfort, learned that one-fourth of the Jewish population was living beyond seventy-one years, while only one-fourth of their neighbors were living beyond the age of fifty-nine yearB ten months. Abbott claims that "they (i. e,, Jews) are much less frequently the subjects of tubercular and acute epidemic diseases than any other race of mankind." Why should this seeming vital superiority exist? According to Richardson, "the causes are simply summed up in the term 'soberness ->? life.' The Jew drinks less than his 'even Christian;' he takes, as a rule, better food; he marries earlier; he rears the children he has brought Into the world with greater personal care; he tends the aged more thoughtfully; he takes better care of his poor and he takes better care of himself." To this might have been added that through religious customs hygienic tendencies became an inheritance.— Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette.

When Mrs. Hayes Served Wine. It will be remembered that Mrs. Hayes was one of the most Influential members of the Women's Christian Temperance Union; and contrary to all precedents, she was determined that wines and other alcoholic beve_r ages should not be served at the White House, while she was there. The only time this rule was broken, as is well known, occurred when two grand dukes of Russia-—Alexis and Constantine—were officii lly entertained there. This was the first and ]ast time. I believe, that such a thing "happened while President Hayes was in the White House,—W. II Crook in 'Memories of the White House Washington, —President Tuft'i annual mesitKe, which was rend In both house* of cuiiKress Tuesday, deals exclusively with the antl-truat statute. The meusage In part Is as follows: To the Senate and House of Ruprnnentatlvee: This mfssiRH is the first several which I shall sond to congn-s .jrlng the interval between the opening of Its regular session and Its adjournment for the Christmas holidays, Th»* amount of Information to be communicated aa to the operations of the government, the number of important subjects calling for comment by the executive, and the transmlHslon to congress of exhaustive report « by special commissions, make it lrn- # possible to Include Jn one message of a reasonable length a discussion of the topics that ought to be brought to the attention of the national legislature at Us first regular session The Antl-Truat Law—The Supreme Court Decisions. In May last the Supreme court handed down decisions Jn the suits In equity brought by the United State* to enjoin the further maintenance of the atandard Oil trust and of the American Tobacco trust, and to secure their dissolution. The decisions are epoch-making and serve to advise the business world authoritatively of the scope and operation of the antitrust law of 1890. The decisions do not depart In any substantial way from the previous decisions of the court in construing and applying this Important statute. hut they clarify those important decisions by further defining the already admitted exceptions to the literal construction of the act. By the decrees, they furnish a useful precedent as to the proper method of dealtrrff wtth~the capital and property of Illegal trusts. These decisions suggest the need and wisdom of additional or supplemental legislation to make ft easier for the entire business community to square with the rule of action and legality thus finally established and to jnrrsprve the benefit, freedom and spur of reasonable competition without loss o f real efficiency or progress. Nc Change in the Rule of Decision— Merely In Form of Expression. The Btatutft In Its first Rectlon declares to be illegal "every contract, combination In the form of trust or otherwise, or conspiracy. In roHtraint of trade or commerce amon« the several states or with foreign nations," and In the second, declares guilty of a misdemeanor every person who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolise or combine or conspire witli any other person to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce of the several Btntos or with foreign nations." In two early cases where the statute was invoked to en loin n transportation agreement between Interstate raflroad companies, It WUH held that It was no defense to show thnt the agreement as to rates complained of wus reasonal at common law— heetiHKt*- ft wo* *ntrr that- the" statute was directed against all contracts anrl combinations In restraint of trnde whether reasonal at common law or not. It was plain from the record, however, that the conlracts complained of In thos" cases would not have been deemed reasonable at common law, Tt has been Bald that the court, by Introducing Into the construction of the statute common luiy__dlstl net Ions, has Drooms With Bamboo Handles. The broom long familiar is made with ft handle of.turned wood, but now theH are made also brooms with bandles_ of bamboo. The bamboo handled" broom i s a little more ornamental, its joints may perhaps give a little better grip, and it is a little lighter, and it costs a little more than the broom with' a handlt of turned wood; it has sometimes Veen called the lady's broom. II is made in medium sizes, designed fot household use. Peculiarity of Twining Plants. One of the peculiarities to be no ticed In connection with the twining of plants Is the fact that with very few exceptions all the individuals of one species alwayB twine In the same direction. Most plants twine to the opposite course to the movement of the sun or the hands of a watch Such twiners are the morning glory, wisteria, wax plant, trumpet creeper and many others. Among those which twine in the opposite direction the hop and wild blndwWd, or climbing polygonum, are familiar examples.—Harper's Weekly. An Orchard In Boston. When Augustus L. Thorn dike of Brewster supped recently at the Hotel Thorndike his friends learned for the first time that the hotel was named after his family, and that the famous old Thorndike orchard once occupied the site of the hotel.

Bv its Judgment every contract and combination In restraint of Interstate trade made with the purpose, or necessary effect of conli"'l"<i'i prices hv stiM ns< competition, or of establishing In whole or in part n monopoly of such trade, Is condemned by the statute The most extreme crltllcs cannot Instance a case that ouftht to he condemned under the statute which Is not hroucrht within Its terms as thus construed Thp sueeVTlon Is a 1 so rruTde" that tho Ruprem »* court by Its decls'ons in the last iw" rases has committed to the court the undefined and unlimited discretion to determine whether n case of restraint of trade Is within the terms of the statute This 1s wholly untrue A reasonable restraint of trade at common law Is well understood and \<* clenrly defined.

It rroM be limited to aoompl'sh the purpose of n lawful main contract to which, in order that it shall he enforceable at nil, It must be inoMnitnt Tf <t exceeds the need? of that contract it is void The Remedy In Equity by Dissolution. l/i the Standard Oil case the 8uprerne and circuit courts found the combination to be a monopoly of the Interstate business of refining, transporting, and marketing petroleum and Its products, effected *nd maintained through thirty-seven d'Cerent corporations, the stock of which was held by a New Jersey company. It in effect commanded the dissolution of this combination, directed the transfer end pro-rata distribution by the New Jersey company of the stock held by It in the thirty-seven corporations to and among Its stockholders, and the corporations and Individual defendants were en- Joined from conspiring or combining to reetore such monopoly: and all agreements betwen the subsidiary corporations tending to produce or bring about further violations of the act were enjoined In the Tobaero case, the court found that the Individual defendants, twentynine In number, had been engaged In a eucressful effort to acquire complete dominion over the manufacture, sale, and distribution of tobacco in this country and abroad, and that this had been done bv combinations made with a purpose and effect to stifle competition, control prices, and establish a monopoly, not only in the manufacture of tobacco, but also of tin-foil and licorice, used In Its manufacture and n' its products of clears, cigarettes and snuffs The tobacco suit presentend a far more complicated and difficult case than the Standard Oil suit for a decree which would effectuate the will of the court and end the violation of the statute There was here no gtngle holding company as in the case of the Standard Oil trust The main compeny was the Amerl"an Tobacco company a manufacturing, selhng and holding company The plan adopted to destroy the combination and restore competition involved the redtvls'on of the capital an* plants of the whole trust between rorre -r the companies constituting the t r v ^r>d new companies organised for t^ • — > "-i"* of th" r]frm* and made part' »nrf - • ' m h T ' n t new and old. *vere twentybarged with '> «^om the rereteert Its unlawful dominion. Under the decree these defendants will hold amounts of stuck in the varioua dlatributt-f companies ranging from 41 per cent, tus a maximum to Z&Vj per cent, as a minimum, except in the caso of one small company, the Porto Mean Tobacco company, In which they will hold 46 per cent. The twenty-nine Individual defendants are enjoined for three years from buying any Btock except from each other, and the group Is thus prevented from extending Its control during that period. All parties to the suit, and th* new companies who are made parties, are enjoined perpetually from in any way effecting any combination between any of the companies in violation of the statute by way of resumption of the old trust. Each of tho fourteen companies la enjoined from acquiring atock in any of the others. All these companies are enjoined from having common directors or officers, or common buying or selling agenta, or common offices, or lending money to each other. Sizo of New Companies, Objection was made by certain independent tobacco companies that this settlement was unjust because It left companies with very large capital In active business, and that the settlement that would be effective to put all on an equality would be a division of the capital and plant of the trust into small fractions in amount more nearly equal to that of each of the independent companies. This contention results from a misunderstanding of tho anti-trust law and Its purpose. It is not Intended thereby to prevent the accumulation of large capital in business enterprises In which auch a combination can secure reduced cost of production, sale and distribution. It la directly against such un aggregation of capital only when Its purpose Is that of stifling competition, enhancing or controlling prices and establishing a monopoly. If we shall have by the decree defeated these purposes and restored competition between tho large units Into which the capital, and plant have been divided, we shall have- accomplished the useful purpoDe of the statute. Confiscation Not the Purpose of the Statute. It Is not the purpose of the statute to confiscate the property and capital of the offending trusts, Methods of punishment by fine or imprisonment of the individual offenders, by tine of the corporation, or by forfeiture of its goods In transportation, are provided, but the proceeding in equity is a specific remedy to stop the operation of the trust by injunction and present the future use of the plant and capital in violation of the statute. I venture to say that not In the history of American law has a decree more effective for such a purpose been entered by a court than that against the Tobacco trust. — Common-Stock OwnerarVrpTIt has been assumed that the present [pro-rata and common ownership In all these companies by former stockholders of the trust would insure a continuance of the same old sinsio control of all tho companies Into which the trust has by decree been disintegrated. This Is erroneous and Is based upon the assumed Inefneacy and innocuousness of judicial Inj u n c t t o p s Thfl c o m p a n i e s a r e r n f o l n a d - from co-operation or combination; they have different managers, directors, purchasing and sales agents. If all or any of the numerous stockholders,' reaching Into the thousands, attempt to secure concerted action of the companies with n view to the control of the market, their number Is so large that Ruch an attempt could not well be concealed and Its prime movers and all Its participants (would be at once subject to contempt proceedings and Imprisonment of a summary character. "Die Immediate IresuTf of t?fo_p"resen— situation will necessarily be activity by all the companies rnder different man agers and then competition must follow or there will be activity by one companv and stagnation by another. Only a short time will inevitably lead to a change In ownership of the stock, as all opportunity for continued co-operation must disappear. M o v e m e n t for Repeal of the Anti-Trust Law. But now that the anti-trust act is seen to be effective for the accomplishment of the purpose of its enactment, we are met by a cry from many different quarters for its repeal. It Is said to be obstructive of business progress, to be an attempt to restore old-fashioned methods of destructive competition between small units, and to make impossible those useful combinations of capital and the reduction of the cost of production that are essential to continued prosperity and normal growth. In the -recent decisions the Supreme court makes clear that there Is nothing in the statute which condemns combinations of capital or mere bigness of plant organized to secure economy in production and a reduction of its cost. It is only when the purpose or necessary effect of the organisation and maintenance of the combination or the ag-gregatlon of Immense slse are the stifling of competition, actual and potential, and the enhancing of prices and establishing a monopoly, that the statute Is violated. Mere size Is no sin against the law. The merging of two or more busines plants necessarily eliminates competition between the units thus combined, but this elimination Is in contravention of the statute only when the combination is made for purpose of ending this particular competition in order to secure control of. and enhance, prices and create a monopoly. Lack of Deflnltenese In the Statute. The complaint Is made of the statute that It Is not sufficiently definite In Its description of that which Is forbidden, to enable huslness men to avoid its violation. The suggestion la, that we may have a combination of two corporations, which may run on for years, and that subsequently the attorney general may conclude that It was a violation of the statute, and that wM'h was supposed by the combiners to be Inocent then turns out to be a combination In violation of the statute The answer to this hypothetical case is that when men attempt to amass stupendous capital as will enable them to suppress competition, control prices and establish a monopoly they, know the purpose of their acts. Men do not do such a thing without having It clenrlv in mind New Remedies Suggested. Much la said of the repeal of this statute and of fonstnirttve legislation Intended to accomplish the purpoae and blase a clear path- for hon*#t merchants and buslt.tss men to follow. It may b<* that such a plan will be evolved, but I submit that, the dbcuanlona which have been brought out In recent days by the fear of the continued execution of the antitruHt law Jiave produced nothing but glittering generalities and have offered no line of distinction or rule of action as definite und us clear as that which the Supreme court Itself lays down in ^nforclnK thw statute Supplemental Legislation Needed—Not Repeal or Amendment. 1 see no objection— aad Indeed I can see decided advantages—in the eaactment of a law which shall descrlbo and denounce methods of competition, which are unfair and are badges of the unlawful purpoae denounced In the anti-trust law. The attempt and purpose to suppress a competitor by underselling him at a price so unprofitable as to drive him out of business, or the making of exclusive contracts with customers under which they are required to g i v e up a s s o c i a t i o n w i t h other roanuaciurers, and numerous kindred methods for stifling competition and effecting monopoly, should be described with sufficient accuracy in a criminal statute on the one hand to enable the government to shorten Its task by prosecuting single misdemeanors Instead of an entire conspiracy, an& on the other hand, to Berve the purpose of pointing out more In detail to the buslnef* community what must be avoided.

GOLDEN RULE APPLIED BRINGS FORTH CONFESSION. James, the Youngest Brother,. Will Get a Life Sentence—John 14 Years—Further Confessions Expected. The most sensational criminal trial ever started in America since the trials of the Molly Maguires or the Chicago Haymarket bombthrowers, came to a dramatic end in Los Angeles, Cal., when James B. McNamara. pleaded guilty to dynamiting on October 1, 19J.0, the Loa Angeles •Times building, in which terrible explosion 21 persona lost their lives in flame and agony, and his brother, John J. McNamara, plead-ed guilty to dynamiting the Llew«llyn Iron Works in Los Angeles a few days later, The accused men had entered pleas of not guilty. They had repeatedly protested to all the world that they were innocent vietlms of a plot against union labor framed by prominent Los Angeles men and Detective William John Burns and his agents. Union labor leaders all over the United States had rallied to their defence and raised a huge defense fund —$400,000 or more—and some of the ablest lawyers in the west had taken charge of ^their defense. Socialists in Los Angeles had made their cause their own, awaking popular sympathy to such a degree that election of a Socialist mayor in the municipal election of December 5 had come to be feared by the conservative elements of the city, the candidate being Job Harriman, one of the lawyers for the McNamara defense. So sreat -was local sympathy that bloodshed at the polls was feared. So, when the brothers changed their pleas voluntarily, though on advice of Clarence S. Darrow and Joseph Scott, two of the ablest of their lawyers, the astonishment was not confined to Los Angeles.or the Pacific slope, but ran with electric flash to the bounds of the nation, Startling as was the Sudden confession of guilt on the part of the McNamara brothers, more aodazing to the people of^ljos Angeles was the information that big business men had brought about the surrender in a novel way. That the application of the golden rule and the principle of conciliation founded on religious convictions started the ball rolling toward the admission of gui^t by the McNaraaras, was the theory, supported and confirmed by more than a dozen business men jyhii_jirirticipated in the movement 00GT0RS SAID HE W0UU5 D £ + . - •. , - • • • • : • • * •<.' i A Friend's Advice Saves Life.

Federal Corporation Commission Proposed, I do not set forth In detail the terms and sections of a statute which might supply the constructive legislation permitting and aiding the formation of combinations of capital into federal corporations. They should be subject to rigid rules aa To their orgfantzattorf and procedure- in- j eluding effective publicity, and to the | "lowest snperyislon as to the issue of stock and bonds by an executive bureau or commission In the department of <» ••onimerce and labor, to which in times of < doubt they might well submit their proposed plans for future business, It must be distinctly understood that incorporat e under a federal law could not exempt the company thus formed and its incorporators and managers from prosecution under the anti-trust law for subsequent llegal conduct, but the publicity of Its procedure and the opportunity for frequent consultation as to the legitimate purpose of lta transactions would offer •it aa great eecurity against successful prosecutions for violations of the law as would be practical or wise. Such a bureau or commission might well be invested also with the duty already referred to, of aiding the courts In the dissolution and recreation of trusts within the law. It should be an executive tribunal of the dignity and power of the comptroller of the currency or the interstate commerce commission, which now exercise supervisory power over important classes of corporations under federal regulation. The drafting of such a federal Incorporation law would offer ample opportunity to prevent many man)feet evils in corporate management today, including irresponsibility of control in the hands of the few who are not the real owner*. incorporation Voluntary. I recommend that the federal charters thus to be granted shall be voluntary, at leaat until experience justifies mandatory provisions, The benefit to be derived from the operation of great businesses under the protection of such a charter would attract all who are anxious to keep within the lines of the law. Other large combinations that fall to take advantage of the federal Incorporation will not have a right to complain if their failure is ascribed to unwillingness to submtt their transactions to the careful scrutiny, competent supervision and publicity attendant upon the enjoyment of such a charter. Supplemental Legislation Needed. The opportunity thus suggested for federal incorporation, it seems to me, Is suitable constructive legislation needed to facilitate the squaring of great industrial enterprises to the rule of action laid down, by the anti-trust law This statu*! a s construed by the Supreme court m u s t continue to be the line nf distinction for legitimate business.

But, despite this, a chain of unexplained incidents produced wide speculation. These include the arrest of Burt H.

Clarence S. Darrow, chief counsel for the men, had become convinced that nothing could save the men and advised acceptance of the state's promise of mercy.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a border plainsman, is looking for roaming war parties of savages He aeea a wajron team at full gallop pursued by men on pontes When Keith reaches the watfon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrult. KHth Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser beinjr a ruffian named Illack Hart. A negro companion In his eel) named Neb tells him that he knew the Keiths In Virginia. Neb s a y s on;- of the murdered men was John Sibley, tho other Gen. Willis Watte, formerly a Confederate officer. The plainsman and Neb escape, and later the fugitives come upon a cabin and find Its occupant to be a youns «rirl. whom Keith thinks he saw at Carson City. The girl explains t h a t she Is In search of a brother, who had d>serted from the urmy. and that a Mr. Hawley Induced her to come to the cabin while he sought her brother. Hawley appears, and Keith In hiding recognises him as Black Bart. There is a terrifje brittle In the darkened room In which KAitft Is victor. Horses are appropriated **4< the girl who says that her name Is ftOD*. joins In the escape. Keith explains mm situation and the fugitives make for Fart Larned. where the gl^l is left with the hotel landlady Miss Hope tells that «he is the daughter of General Walte. Keith and Neb drift Into Sheridan, where Keith meets an old friend. Dr. Fairhaln. Keith meets the Brother of Hope Waite, under the assumed name of Fred Wllloughby. and becomes convinced that tBlack Bnrt has some plot Involving the two. Hope learns that Gen. Walte, who w a s thought murdered, is at Sheridan, and goes the.n\ where she is mistaken for <Jhrlstie Maclaire, the Carson City singer. Keith meets the real Christie Maclaire And finds that Black Bart has convinced her that there is a mystery in her life which he is going to turn to her advantage. CHAPTER XXII.—(Contolnued.) "Miss Maclaire," be said, pleasantly, *'I trust you will pardon all that has occurred between us, and permit roe to explain." *'l—I do not understand," she replied, puzzled by these unexpected words. "There has nothing occurred between us. I am sure, which requires explanation. Have we met before?" The man smiled. Seeing the woman's lace in the shadows he was_ still convinced she was the same he had last parted with on the Salt Fork. However, if she preferred to ignore all that, and begin their relations anew, it was greatly to his liking. It gave him Insight Into her character, and fresh confidence that he could gain her aaince. Anyhow, he was ready ugh to play her game. *Let us assume not," just the slighttrace of mockery in the tone, "and Jbegln anew. At least, you will confess the receipt of my letters—t am Bart-" lett Hawley." She cast a half-frightened glance toward Keith, and the man, following the direction of her eyes, perceived t a * presence of the other, His right leg-went backward, his hand dropping to tire belt, his form stiffening erect. Keith'a voice;—low—btrt—clear -+a the" silence, seemed to cut the air. "Not a motion, Hawley! I have you covered." "Oh, gentlemen, please don't!" "Have no fear, Miss Maclaire; this rnan and 1 will settle our difference elsewhere, and not in your presence." He stepped forth into the middle of the room, revolver drawn, but held -low- at the- hip, his watchful- eyes ) never deserting the gambler's face. "flack up against the wall, Hawley." he commended. "I hardly need to tell you how I shoot, for we, at least, have S o t before. Now, I'm going out, and leave 700>to your Interview with Miss •facJafre. a*4 I wish you happiness He moved across to tfefe opening, keeping his face toward his adversary; then backed out slowly, closed the door with a snap, and sprang aside to avoid any possibility of a bullet crashing after him. No sound of movement from within reached hia ears, however, and he walked silently to the head of the stairs. *.7*1 • CHAPTER XXIII. .'*«»•;'.• ' A i g f r r * * Uyxpooted Meeting. W t t - p K o s e d at the landing, looking down Into the deserted office, almost tempted to return and force Hawk*y into a confession of his purpose. ]t was easy for him to conceive what would be the.final result of this interview between the artistic gambler and Miss Maclaire. In spite of the vague suspicion of evil which the plainsman had implanted within the woman's salad, the other possessed the advantage/ and would, certainly I t Alt conditions were date'f**- Isfc favor. He merely HCjjb ewrtnee the girl that she wmUlty the party sought, and she'would go forward, playing the fame he desired, believing herself right, totally unconscious of .any trend The very simplicity of it rendered the piot the more dangerous, tho more difficult to expose. Hawley had surely been favored by fortune in discovering this singer who chanced to resemble Hope so remarkably, and who. at the same time, was in such ignorance as to her own parentage. She would be ready to grasp at a straw, and, once persuaded as to her identity and legal rights, could henceforth be trusted implicitly as an ally. Realising all this, snd comprehend- I n n r t e * now easily Hawley would w4n her coafldeaoV an3 overcome bis wamjnj,by; denouncing him aa,s fugitive from justice charged with musder, U e teaatation to return and flgJU U "Was Your Call Upon Miss Maclaire Very Interesting?" out then and there became almost overpowering. He had no fear of Hawley; Indeed, physical fear had scar-eel y—a- placeftr-faterromposi tioTr, but he was not as yet sufficiently fortified with facts Jor the seeking of such an encounter. A man came in through the office, and began climbing the stairs. He was almost at the landing before Keith recognized him or the other g4frfteed- up. _ "Ah—seen her, I suppose?" "Yes," returned Keith, not thinking It worth while to mention the lady's denial of having sent for him. "I have just come from there." "Hum—thought you'd he through by this time—fine looking girl, ain't she? —believe I'll run in and chat with her myself." . "1 would advise you to Belect some other time, Doctor," said the younger, drily, "as the lady has a visitor at present" "A visitor?" his face rosy, his shrewd eyes darkening. "Ah, indeed! Of the male sex?" "I judge so—'Black Bart' Hawley." "Good Lord!" so startled his voice broke. "Did he see you?" "Rather; 1 hacked him up against the wall with a gun while I made my adieu." "But what brought him there? Are they acquainted?" "Don't ask conundrums, Doctor. He may be your rival with the fair lady for all I know. If he Is, my sympathies are all with you. Only I wouldn't try to see Miss Christie Just now; I'd wait for a clearer field. Hawley is probably not In the best of humor." Fairbain stared Into tbs face of the speaker, uncertain whether or not be was being laughed a t "Reckon you're right,'4 he acknowledged at last. "Tired, anyhow—been out all night—thought I'd like to see her again, though—finest looking woman I've met since I came West— remarkable eyes—well, HI go along to bed—see you again to-morrow. Jack." Keith watched the sturdy figure stamp heavily down the hall-way, loose boards creaking under bis positive tread, and smiled to himself at the thought that be might have, indeed, become truly interested in the music hall singer. Somehow, the doctor did not harmonize with the conception of love, or fit graciously into the picture. Still, stranger matings had occurred, and Cupid does not ask permission before he plays pranks with hearts. Keith turned again toward the stairs, only to observe a woman slowly cross the office and commence the ascent. She was in the shadow, her face even more deeply 8haded by. her bat. yet he stared at her in amaxement—surely, It was MJss Maclaire! Yet how could it be? He had left that person scarcely five minutes before in ; 26." and this stairw a i , Tflt the_only exit His hand also? As her foot touched the landing, she saw him, her eyes lighting up euddenly In recognition, a wave of Color ffooaTneTTer cheeks. — "Why. Captain Keith." she exclaimed, extending her gloved hand frankly, "you have been to my room, and were going away, I am so glad I came in time." "I hardly thought to meet you." he replied, retaining her fingers in his grnap—iiwbea--4id—you- reach Shcrl' dan?" "Only last night. I had no idea you were here until Doctor Fairbain chanced to mention your name, Then ! at once begged him to tell you how exceedingly anxious I was to see you. You see. I was sure you would come if you only knew. I really thought you would be here this morning, and remained In my room waiting, but there were some things I actually had to have. T wasn't out ten minutes, so you mustn't think I sent you a message and then forgot." The nature of the mistake was becoming apparent, and Keith's gray eyes smiled as they looked Into the depths of -the brown. "Your message had rather an amusing result," he said, "as the doctor informed me that Miss Christie Maclaire was the one who desired my presence." "Miss Maclafre!" her voice exhibiting startled kjrprlse. "Why—why— oh, I did forget; I never told him differently. Why, It was most ridiculous." She laughed, white teeth gleaming between the parted red lips. yet not altogether happily.

I remember now that although he introduced himself, I never once thought to mention to him my name. The town was very rough last ulght—the company had paid off the graders I was told— and there was no carriage, so we were compelled to walk. I—1 never saw such a mob of drunken men. One came reeling against me. and brushed aside my veil so as to see my face. The doctor struck him, and then the marshal came up—you know him. Bill Hlckock—and the impudent fellow actually declared he knew me. that I was Christie Maclaire I tried to explain, but they hurried me on through the crowd to the hotel, and 1 became confused, and forgot. Do you suppose they registered me by that i name?" ! "Quite likely; at least Fairbain still believes It was the Christie whom he so gallantly escorted last night." ] "How provoking," her foot tapping ; the floor, a little wrinkle between her eyes. "It fyeems as though I couldn't j escape that woman—does she—does she really look like me?" "At a little distance, yes," h.e_..admitted, "her form and face resemble yours very closely, but her hair Is j darker, her eyes have a different expression, and she must be five or six years older," "Do—do you know ner well?" "No, Indeed; I have sef?r. her several times on the stage, but never met her until a few moments ago." "A few moments ago! Do you mean she is here In this hote)?" "Yes, Miss Hope, and that was what made the mistake in names so. laughable. Fairbain gave me your message, but as coming from Christie. 1 was, of course, greatly surprised, yet responded The lady very promptly denied having sent for me, but as 1 -»ias anxious to interview her myself, we managed to drift into conversation, and I must have pasfed a half hour there I might haye been there still, but for an Interruption." "Oh, indeed!" with rising Inflection. He glanced quickly about, reminded of the situation. "Yes, Hawley came in, and I would prefer not to meet him here, or have him discover you were in Sheridan. Could we not go to your room? I have much tn tell you." Her questioning eyes left his face. and stared down over the rail. A heavily built man, wltl\ red moustache, leaned against tho clerk's desk, "Do you know that man?" she asked quickly. "He foHowed me all the time I was shopping. I—I believe he is the same one jwho jostled me in the crowd last night." Keith leaned past her to get a better view, but the fellow turned, and slouched away. "1 only had a glimpse, but have no recollection of ever seeing hira before. You heard no name?" ^'Wlld Bill' called him either Scott, or Scotty—If this is the same man." Keith's Ja,w set, the fighting light burning In his eyes. That was the name of the fellow rooming with Wllloughbx, the one who seemed to be Hawley's special assistant. "A mere accident probably; but about my request? May 1 talk with you a few moments alone?" She bowed, apparently still dissatisfied regarding his lengthy conversation with Christie, yet permitted him to follow down the hall. She held open the door of "15," and he entered silently, not wholly understanding the change In her manner. She stood before the dresser, drawing off her gloves and removing her hat. "Will you be seated, Captain; the arm-chair by the window Is the more comfortable." She turned toward him, almost shyly, yet with womanly curiosity which would not be stilled. "Was your call upon Miss Maclaire very interesting? Did you admire her very much?" (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Owosso,—A fire, attributed to spontaneous combustion, swept, through the furniture r..nd hardware store' •Jt Pearce & Ward with almost incredible rapidity after a small flame had been discovered in the rear of the store by a policeman. The flames, fanned by a brisk southwest wind, caused damage approximating $100,- J00, shared by a score of business firms and individuals. A heap of spoking ruins is all that marks tho northeast corner of the intersection of Main and Washington streets, the business center of the city. There stood the Pearce & Ward store, a three-story and basement brick block 48 by 100 feet. With plate glass fronts shattered and stocks more or less damaged, several Burrounding stores are boarded up and closed. Portttatrr ==- Air- atWhipI to burn the beautiful country home of Charles Stlnchfield, at Bloomfleld Hills, was made and only Mr. Stinchfield's thoughtfulness for the safety of a neighbor was responsible for the timely discovery of the blaze. A stranger called at the Stlnchfield home juid asked to be kent over night, Be- Ing refused, he started away from the homo muttering unintelligible things. Mr. Stlnchfield, fearing for the safety of a widow living nearby, arose and went out the front door. A fire had been started under the porch and was fast gaining headway. Tho blaze was extinguished and officers were summoned. Kalamazoo.—The governors of ten western states arrived here from Chicago, 40 minutes ahead of schedule time, to make the second stop of their tour of tho central western and eastern states. The party arrived on a special train which included several handsomely decorated cars filled with western produce, The visitors were greeted by Governor Osborn, who came to Kalamazoo to welcome his brother executives In the name of the state of Michigan.

Brighton.—Max Clark of Marion, this county, Is congratulating himself on his luck. While hunting In northern Michigan he shot a black fox for whose hide the price Is quoted from 11,000 to |1,200. Two Bilver skin foxes were captured in Cohoctah township last winter, which brought $800 each in the fur market. Grand Rapids.—Despondent because he could not find work, Frederick Chapman, aged sixty-three, who recently moved here with his aged wife from Evart, swallowed chloroform. He was practically blind. Physicians hope to save his life. Garyllng.—Frank C. Cram and Roy Brown, Frederic boys, came home from Sunday school and taking their 22-callber rifles, went out In the back yard to shoot at a mark. They Btuck up an old boat paddle for a target, both boys kneeling down to take aim. The Cram boy, who was slight ly in front of the Brown boy, fired first, and then arose quickly to see where he had hit. Just as he did so. Brown pulled the trigger of his own gun. The bullet hit Cram just back of the ear, killing him almost instant ty. :« •1 * Y o u r s for uniformity. Y o u r s for greatest l e a v e a i j g power. Y o u r s for never failing results.

Brazil to the north must cross Uruguay to get to the South American metropolis, Buenos Aires. Argentina to the south must use Uruguay's railways to find the shortest route—part rail, part sea—to Europe, England and the United States, for the port of Pernambuco. Brazil, will some day take an Importance as the terminus of a through rail line from Buenos Aires and as the port of departure for a quick steamship service to the countries north of the equator. With this in view Brazil is now spending millions upon harbor improvements at this point. This through railway from Buenoa Aires to Pernambuco has therefore something more than a South American significance. It becomes Pan- American. In fact the great system of railways designed to bring about easier communication between the capitals and principal cities of all American republics may be divided into two systems: (1) The main line following close to the backbone of the continent and connecting Argentina and the westerly republics with North America through the Isthmus of Panama; (2) the transcontinental zz&Ft&wr -nragf ^ ^ 9 ^ ^ 2 ^ ¾ ^ ¾ ^ line linking up Chile and Argentina with the easterly republics and thence via steamship line with North America. That the transcontinental system will be completed long before the main line seems assured. Chile and Argentina have pierced the Andes and Valparaiso sends passengers and freight to Buenos Aires by the completed Transandlne railway. Brazil has pushed her steel highways nearly to the border of Uruguay. While England and _Francfi have poUfe<Ttheir capital into the building of these lines, which help to form the Pan American, it seems fitting that the United States should at last step In and complete one link in the chain which goes under the name Pan or All American. It was left for the little republic of Uruguay to bring about this desired result. She granted to an American company concessions to build the line from Colonla just opposite Buenos Aires northeast to the San Luis river, a distance of about 365 miles, with a branch of 60 miles to connect with an existing line to the east. Uruguay has found it good policy to encourage railway building by fair and liberal treatment of capital which ventures into such large undertakings. The government has confidence in the future of Uruguay and is willing, therefore, to guarantee an interest earning upon a fair capitalization, believing that the country as It develops will make good and produce these earnings and more. Experience has shown such confidence to be well founded, and the existing railways are paying good returns to their shareholders. Uruguay, therefore, felt no hesitation In inviting capital from her sister republic north of the equator to enter the field. How the invitation was accepted may be learned from an examination of the Uruguayan consular records. During the past three months, April. May and June, a steady stream of invoices has passed through the offices. Thousands of tons of rails, bridge and other structural steel, telegraph poles and wire, fence wire, cement, lumber, passenger cars, freight cars and locomotives have left the port of New York headed for Uruguay. From Newport News the Lovlsa cleared, a goodsized barkentlne purchased by the Pan American Transcontinental Railway company to help out in carrying railroad ties and lumber. From New Orleans, on June 7, the Wimbledon steamed away, carrying the largest consignment of lumber which ever went out of that port. Over 50,000 tie3 and over 60,000 feet of yellow pine timber made up her cargo. All of theser things are to help build the first American railway in the River Plata region. Inquiry has developed that the enterprise i s one which is backed by business more than by banking Interests In' the United States. The work has been carried on quietly and steadily. * The surveys were complied and submitted to the government July 15, 1.910, The winter and early spring were occupied in arranging for purchase of material and equipment. Grading was begun at Durazno on "March 6. The first section of 30 miles was formally opened to public service in September, l!Hl, and the entire line will be completed within four years- It seems thus to be destined that Uruguay, of all the-South American republics, shall be first intimately known to United States capital. And as where one's capital Is there lies one's interest, it seems not unlikely that Uruguay in its development may feel strongly the influence of American ideas and customs and perhaps be drawn into still closer national sympathy with the people of the United States. In the physical characteristics of the country Uruguay bears a striking resemblance to parts of the United States. The rolling prairies and many streams of Illinois are there, as, too, Is the rich, deep, black soil. The peaches, grapes and pears of northern Ohio find a natural home in the southerly portions of the country, and the sands of Colonia remind one of the sands of Lake Erie. If the hiHtory of the development of the middle west be repeated south of the equator one can see Uruguay well peopled and well plowed, a prosperous country to live in and a fair one to look upon. In the plans of the railway company the development of the port of Colonla plays an Important part. It is understood that here will be established a center of distribution for imports to the River Plata region. Storage warehouses will make \t possible for manufacturers to carry at trifling expense large stocks upon which they can call as needed for distribution in the Argen- —ttne-or Uruguay ^-to-up-river-dlstrlcts. — The natural depth of the water is such at Colonia as to make this one of the finest of harbors. The largest ocean steamers will be able to discharge their cargoes quickly and cheaply. Natural conditions, in fact, seem to have destined this point for one of the great shipping centers of the River Plata region. This Pan American railway has large significance for Uruguay, but it may mean even more for the United States. If it serves, as now seems quite possible, as the introduction of United States capital to this great South American region, and familiarizes Unied States investors with the sound and stable character of railway enterprise, as It has been and will be developed on this port of the new world, it will have accomplished qufte as much for the republic of the north as for Uruguay, and more perhaps for the general advancement of Pan Americanism than for either. r*fc Hard to Destroy Species m £.:;.;«: *V 'rM&r* i Dlfljcifty of Extermination I t Exempli* 'fled by the Cr.se of the Wolf l In Europe. When man sets about ridding himself] pf entire species of animals by systematic persecution he usually flndfc it a.difficult job. Set a price on theihead o f - a wolf or a woodchuck, and' the animal Beems at once to real* ize jthe Importance of prolonging its lifei The case of the wolf in Europe ft a historic one. A price has been set on $he cVeature's head for centuries, and. yet there is only a small portion of the continent from which the animal has been extermianted. The Netherlands is free or wolves, owing to the character of the country. The whole land furnishes not a single rocky den suitable for a wolfs lair; neither is there a forest for the animal's shelter. It is true the wot/ has been exterminated from Great Britain and Ireland. iThis result has been reached, however, by Indirect means rather than by a direct attack. The clearing off: of the forest left the wolf no place in which to hide from pursuit. The islands werevtoo far firm* the contineot for their thinned ranks to be recruited from the mainland.

In proof of this we are told that there is an ancient act of parliament still in force in England and Wales prohibiting the taking of eggs of certain birds, of which six kinds are expressly named. In spite of this protecting law, four of the six species have ceased to breed in those countries,'The Indirect ways In which such results are brought about are shown In the destruction of the quail In New Zealand- The birds once were numerous; no one wished to destroy them. But the-land was burned over for other purposes at seasons when the eggs and young .of the quail were exposed to destruction, and a few years brought the species to an end. Facts About Wedding Gifts * - Difference Lies In Direction. A precocious son of one of the managers of William S. Vare's mayoralty campaign has been following the developments of the fight with interest. He has not yet acquired all the rudimentary knowledge of politics necessary to understand all the curves, but he is learning.

Presents Should Be 8ent to a Bride. Elect Within a Fortnight of Her Marriage. Wedding gifts are sent to a brideeleet within three weeks or a fortnight of the day set for her marriage. Mere visiting acquaintances of the families or the couple about to be wed do well to wait and see whether they are asked to a wedding before forwarding any presents. This course is not prompted by cold calculation, but by genuine delicacy. As soon as the person thus in doubt receives a card a pleasant assurance Is given, and the gift may then be forwarded. When wedding cards extending an invitation' to witness merely the marriage ceremony are received by one who acknowledges only the most formal acquaintance with the bride or groom, or either of their families, there rests no obligation to send a gift. It would be proper to send one if the recipient of the cards wishes to, and many persons feel that the receipt of sue* cards calls for one. It is cuBtomary to send a gift when the cards include an Invitation to the house afterward, as well as the church. Persons in mourning may send wedding gifts, though they are not able to attend either theTeligious ceremony or reception. Those who feel themselves under obligations, or who have received favors from either of the contracting parties, are privileged to send a bridal gift, even when only slightly) acquainted with the bride or bridegroom or their re Only the intimate friends and relatives of a bride are entitled to present the gifts in person. Shorthand. 'Mr. John D. Rockefeller shows the religious side,of his character by taking notes of a sermon in order to read It to his sick wife. The note-taking habit is a useful one. When this great financier becomes his own stenographer he is Indulging in a pleasant occupation. A knowledge of shorthand is a good accomplishment for anyone. Its usefulness is unquestionable. Anyone capable of taking phonographic notes need not necessarily be speedy enough,for professional work. If one can merely take notes two or three times as fast as he could by using long hand he can catch and preserve important data. For' most Americans a knowledge of shorthand is of far more importance than the acquirement of a foreign language, as the latter cannot be used often and is easily forgotten.

Marion.—A shooting affair occurred at Temple, eight miles south of here. Sheriff Hoggan of Ann MoBa, la., accompanied by Deputy Fred Green of Harrison, drove two and a half miles in the country to arrest A. B.. Buff man on the charge of felony and fraud. Buffman Invited them in, chatted for a time, then went Into an adjoining room. His wife followed and shut the door. The officers forced the door open. Buffman warned them back with a shotgun and fired at the officers. Then Green fired five shots, one taking effect to Huffman's shoulder and one in the leg. The officers left Buffman seriously wounded . and started to town to call a physician. Aa_j they were leaving Buffman came to the door and fired twice, one shot hitting Hoggan above the eye and lodging back of It Hoggan will probably j lose his sight Buffman shot six times at the officers. Port Huron.—Charles Carter, aged thirteen years, of this city, took a chance of sustaining serious, If not fatal injuries here for the sake of a small cat. A report had been sent into police headquarters stating that a cat had climbed one of the highest trees on Seventh street three days before and still maintained its position, with no signs of descending. Police Clerk Mills was dispatched to the scene immediately. The boys of that neighborhood in the meantime heard that the cat was to be executed by order of the police. In order to save the nine-lived one an end by shooting, the Carter lad volunteered to "shin up" the tree, which he did and brought down the cat just in time to save it being shot by Mills. Jackson.—Struck by an interurban car on the Eden crossing, between Mason and Leslie, Paul Darling, president of the village of Leslie, was Instantly killed. Darling, who was evidently running In an effort to catch the car, ran In front of it and before the motorman could set the brakes,, was ground to pieces beneath the wheels. It is presumed that Darling was running at such a rate of speed when he came'to the crossing that he was unable to check himself when he reached the track. He .evidently realized his perilous position too late as he tirrned partially around as the car bore down upon him. He was a member of the hardware firm of Darling & Fruman of Leslie. Kalamazoo.—While her father was being ' elected president of the Kalamazoo Driving club, Miss Lela Marsh was being married at Paw Paw to George Longwell, a Van Buren county resident.

Most farmers are confronted by this* prbblem, in a serious manner because of the short crops of the past dry season and the present high prices for teed stuffs. ID wintering farm work horses one of two extremes usually prevails. The lover of good horses saves the best mow of hay and the best bin of oats for his horses during winter when they are producers as workers, thus rendering their coBt of keep very expensive. On the other hand, however, too many horses are wintered In the barnyard on straw and corn etalks only, going Int6 the spring work weak and thin and unfitted to undergo the severe strain of the seeding wprk.;. There is a medium between thefie' two extremes by which coarse cheap feeds in sufficient variety can be used In wintering the horse cheaply, and satisfactorily. If the^iiors* 1B in moderately good condition and doing no work it can be wintered on corn fodder, straw and ensilage with .a small feed of mixed hay dally. If there are no nubbins of corn In the fodder a few ears may be fed dally. Under these conditions the run of a yard during the day with ample stall or shed protectien at night Is desirable. If the horses are being employed at moderate work such as hauling manure, feed, wood, etc, a moderate feed of mixed grain daily should be given in addition to the ear -corn. If ensilage is not available from ten to twelve pounds of carrots per day per horse will be found very serviceable Ensilage should be fed in moderation, using not more than 15 to 20 pounds daily, depending on the horse. Michigan experiment station bulletin No. 254 gives a description of the methods employed in wintering work horses engaged at moderate labor on the college farm during ten weeks of the winter of 1908. Six horses averaging 1,254 pounds consumed daily 11 pounds of oats and 20 pounds timothy hay at a cost per day of 19.4 cents. Another six horses averaging 1,291 pounds consumed daily 8.6 pounds corn stalks, 4.3 pounds oat straw, 5.4 roots, 4.2 pounds hay, 5.7 pounds grain and 4.2 ear corn at a cost of 12.3 cents per head daily. Both lots of horses worked between forty and fifty days out of the seventy of the experiment. Those on the cheaper feeds gained a few pounds In weight over and above the others and were in equally good trim to go into the hard work of spring plowing, seeding, etc. REPAIR WORK ON THE FARM Tha Use of Toots Has Educational Value By R. J. BALDWIN, Michigan Agricultural College The successful management of a modern farm depends largely upon the care and repair of ^the equiprnerit with which the work Is performed. This implies the necessity of housing all implements when not in actual use_ and Ihelr repair before needed again. To do this there must be a suitable outfit of tools on the farm arranged In a shop where work can be cony t ^ l g n H y and mrrifnrtfthlv done. Al- ''.'V » % # : « teratlons and repairs on buildings and fences are required from time to time and if there are not tools at hand suited to this purpose the work will not be done well, If At all. The question of how far to attempt to do repair work on the farm depends upon the distance from town and the tastes and training of the farmer himself. The regular work of the farm should be the first consideration and anything that will Interfere with field work should not be undertaken In many cases the work of" a trained mechanic is more satisfactory than that done at home, and we must always depend upon the village blacksmith for many things. All ordinary Injuries to machinery can be repaired on the farm, and this, in addition to' the work which must be done abont:barns,' stables and fences, make' a repair outfit an important part of the farm equipment. The general overhauling of machinery should be done at a i l m e of year when no other work is pressing and wfcen it may be done as a rest or Vfrqm pther ,farm work. If .Implements are stored during 'fn'place* not easy of accessor in open weather they will probably be out of repair when needed again; but if they are housed In a buHdltfg one corner of which is a shop the job of fixing them will be mere attractive and the work win be more liable to- be done before spring. Frequent applications of some metallic -paint*such as Venetian red and raw linseed oil does much to improve tba appearance of implements and greatly to their tasting qualities, use of tools it of great educaralue, especially when the work tally performed. The boys on tbs farm should be encouraged In the use of tools, (but should be held re* tpotjirble boll) for -the care of the tools and the character of the work performed, with them. The tool outfit of the farm is of special service on stormy days and will aid greatly in keeping the boys employed and contented to remain at borne." . .

S. SHAW, Dean of Agriculture The enrollment of students In the regular four courses at the._MIch.igan Agricultural College for the year 1911 and 1912 presents some Interesting data. Up to October 5th the total number enrolled was 1,278, divided as follows, viz.; agriculture, R71; anglneering, 452, and home economics, 255. These figures* do not include any short course students, which number irom 400 to 500 anually. The requtrements for entrance to the freshman year are graduation from accredited high schools or other institutions with equally good training. Ten years ago only about twentyfive per cent, of the male students entering this institution enrolled in agriculture, the number this year exceeds 55 per cent. Not more than 20 per cent .of the graduates in agriculture returned to the farm a decade ago. The past few years nearly all who had farms to go to returned to them. Some influential factors have been at work bringing about these changes. Agricultural colleges have succeeded in winning the confidence and respect of the farmer. High priceB of farm produce has had an effect. Men of national reputation politically and industrially have been, speaking and writing in behalf of agricultural development The daily and weekly paper and even some of the largest city papers have used agricultural matter freely while the movement has been popularized by the magazine. The purely agricultural paper used to stand alone In Its efforts for a better agriculture. Bucolic Music. Little Willie, being m c£tr boy, had never seed a cow.

"Qh, Cousin John, what 1B that?" he asked. "Why, that is only a cow," John replied. "And what are those things on her head?" "Horns," answered John. Before they had gone far the cow mooed long and loud. Willie was astonished. looking back, he demanded in a very fever of interest: "Which horn did she blow?"—Everybody's Magazine, ' 1 Photographed by Underwood & Underwood, N. Y.

STORY OF JAPANESE GOWNS Interesting Facts Concerning the OriginofGarmentsWornInthe island Empire. Nearly every woman nowadays cherishes a Japanese gown for house wear without realizing how interests ing a garment it is. The sleeves themselves have a curious history. From the middle of the sixteenth century they began to increase in length, and, especially those for young ladles, have extended till now they are from three to four feet This style, known—as furlsode, became very fashionable. The width of the obi, or sash, has also varied, at first from two and a half to three and a half inches, and To~sTx, seven, eight and nine inches. It is interesting to note that our own new fashions in sleeves and sashes originated among the commoji people of Japan, arid from"tlTern'wero finally adopted by the upper classes. The young ladles of the Samnrl class were the first to follow the popular styles In this respect, and the higher classes began to follow suit, until now these fashions prevail everywhere. It is only from about the middle of the seventh century that the women of the lower classes began to wear the long haorl, or overcoat, at present so common among all classes of both sexes. This garment was originally a duster worn by men to protect their clothes when outdoors, and was then caHecV.dofuku, or traveling coat. Finafly-<they came to be worn indoors, and I h e ^ o m e n adopted the garment. The uppe^-cjjisses in time followed the same custom>-4nd now the haorl is an indispensable p the clqthing to be worn on formal casions, even, in summer. NEWEST IDEAS IN GIRDLES Many Materials for Choice and Design Is Altogether a Matter for the Individual. The newest girdles are made of rope, bead, metal, fabric and chenille. The latter are particularly well liked, aa are also those made of pierced metal pieces run with ribbon and obtainable in assorted colors. There are also those mads of colored pyroxylin, ribbon laced. These pyroxylin girdles, while extremely light in weight, have an effect similar to the heavier metal ones. Another of this class of girdle is tbs heavy linked chain or metal rope, made in either gilt, silver or oxidised. Due to the great popularity of cord girdles, there have been manufactured Special ornamental pins in plain and chased effects, also set with colored stones, intended for use as a fastening for the girdles in place of a knot, being both practical and ornamental, and at the same time eliminating the knot tying wear on the girdle. In the Dining Room* Plates should be heated before they are sent to tbs table. An entire meal, prepared with great care, can be spoiled by'the use of cold plates.

He was consid ered very promising by connoisseurs, and a number of bis chums looked upon him as a coming genius. Crook lived just such a life as other artists lived in the Latin quarter at that time, which was a bo hernia n one, mingling only with those who were either art ists, artists' models or grlsettes. Uo had u bed 1n his studio, where he slept and got bis own breakfast, dining usually at a restaurant, where he met other artists and the women they as sociated with, including models. They would usually get together at the same table, and a merrier lot were aot to bi> found in all Paris. There was a girl Tvho belonged to this set who seemed out of place. There was a refined purity about her that none of the others possessed. She made her living as an artist's model, but especially for her head and shoulders. She had posed for more Madonna pictures than would fill one of the rooms in the Louvre. Crook, beins the most prominent artist of the sot, considered that any one of the girls he chose to smile upon should smile upon him in return. He took a fancy to Cecile Boyer—"the Madonna," as she was familiarly referred to—and was very much put out that she did not return his admiration. The truth is Cecile had given her heart to David Forbes, one of the least prominent of the young artists studying in Paris. He, too, was an Ameri can. Why he tried to make an artist of himself no one could conjecture, for he had no idea of any of those matters which pertain to art. He undertook to paint a scene as revealed through a window and devoted two-thirds Qf his space to the curtain. As to perspective, he would paint a house and a pump, showing the pump larger than the house. When his chums ridiculed his work Cecile defended htm. Indeed, the only cause they could assign for her affection for him was pity. Crook could paint excellent pictures, but Cecile did not love him. Forbes couldn't paint anything of value, and he was hers heart und A Father's TengeAuce would have fallen on any one who attacked the ton of Peter Boody, of South Bock wood, Mich,, t o t be was powerless before attacks of Kidney trouble.

Indeed, since she was wanted specially for her head and shoulders, nudity was unnecessary. The singular feature of her association with the other* was that she did not in any way assume to be better than they. Unfortunately for Forbes, he could not afford to spend his time trying to learn _wbjRt_seemed impossible for him to learn, for he was poor. But the less money he had in his pocket the xnorp determined he became to make an art 1st of himself. Whether Cecile encouraged him in his purpose no om> knew, though all understood she snuk by him. About the time his last frati wasspent-ajid^-n<>-remlttance-t<r-i from America his health broke down, and that finished all work for him. at least for the present. His artist friends went to see him and asked if they could do anything for him, but he shook his head and said that he was getting on very well Sometimes they would find Cecil*1 there, ministering to him. Indeed, she was providing for him, but at thnt time no one dreamed of such a thin;,'. During Forbes' illness Paul Crookattempted to gain some foothold with Cecile. She neither encouraged nor repelled him. Indeed, she continued to be Indifferent to him. He offered her n large sum to pose to him for a picture requiring a model for the whole figure For a time he believed sht would consent. She wanted the money for David Forbes. She went to David, told him of the offer and said that if he would accept of the sacrifice she would accept Crook's proposition. By this she gave him a dose thai took away his malady and called out an artistic ability that no one knew was in him. He spurned the proposl Hon with horror, saying: "Had I such a model I could produce a wonder." That was the origin of Forbes' picture of Eve, which was hung in the Paris salon the next year. None of the set of which Paul Crook was the shining light recognized Cecile as the model for Eve. Forbes put just enough change in the features to prevent her being recognized. He shrank from her appearing before the .world as his model more than she. She was shielded by his love and her sacrifice. What a singular bonleversement. Crook was expected to give the world at least one great work. So he did But hbw?

When I'm upstairs the doorbell rings downstairs and when I'm downstairs the phone rings upstairs," said Evelyn in an agitated tone, as she took down the receiver. "Hello, is this North 124?" asked a masculine voice. "Whom do you wish to speak to?" asked Evelyn in her sweetest voice. "My name is Jack Mitchell," replied the voice. "Is Miss Carter there?" "This is Miss Carter." "My cousin, Frank Jocelyn, asked me to call you up a s soon a s I arrived from N e w York. He wishes to be remembered to you." "Oh! Mr. Mitchell, I should be delighted to meet any of Frank's relatives. Are you going to be here for some time?" "Yes, I expect to locate here, but I'm not acquainted and it's a beastly bore hanging around the hotel. Frank said you knew such a lot of people. Maybe you would Introduce me to a few young folks.** "Surely I'd be glad to have you meet some of our friends. If you haven't a n engagement for this evening, do come up. You will—that's fine." After giving explicit directions how to reach her home, Evelyn hung up the receiver, exclaiming t o her sister in an excited tone, "Just think, a swell cousin of Frank's i s coming to call this evening. I wagef he's a rich New Yorker, v Doesn't know a soul here. Well, J'm not going to be in a hurry to introduce him around. Don't see any of the girls bringing their out-oftown friends over here. If I make a good impression there may be invitations to the theater and opera galore. Gracious! I'll have to telephone to the cleaner immediately to send my beaded net covered with chiffon waist right away. Then if I get a bid for the opera I can wear my cherry silk voile. Maybe Amy will let me have Miss Kelly, the dressmaker, tomorrow to shorten it. What hat shall I wear?" "You won't need any hat," answered her sister. "If he's such a swell fallow as yon imagine, most likely he'll take a taxi." "Of course he will. Say, have you got a pair of long, clean, white gloves?" i "Oh, thanks, a thousand times. I You're just the best sister. May I | take your white lace scarf, too? I'll j borrow Jessie's opera coat and have i it in the house.

Have we anything home to serve?" — " T h e r e is a-bottle-of-ginger ale -BOTH some cake," replied" Jane. "No one cares for that. Please tell Mary to get some alcohol. Til make a rarebit in the chafing dish—those little tea aprons look so cute." "Amy expects me to play bridge this evening. Will you let her know I can't come? We are going to play every Wednesday. Maybe Mr. Mitchell will join us. Will you tell Eva, if s h e calls up, that I have an engagement for this evening, but don't call me, for she always rubbers s o . There's that 'phone again!" "Yes, Mr. Mitchell, that's the right address. You can't hslp finding our house, It's right next to the church, how anxious I am I can't tell you to m e e t you. It seems as If we were old friends, after hearing your voice so often. You feel the same way? Thank you. Good-bye," Evelyn looked beautiful In her soft whJte gown. "I hope Frank won't b e Jealous," she said, a s she clasped her sister's coral beads around her neck. "If I accept Mr. Mitchell's attentions anyway, he's such an old friend he won't care. Frank's away s o much he must expect B e t o g o with other fellows. Anyway, there's nothing serious between « . There's the door-bey. I l l go." Evelyn opened the door, her fees wreathed In A welcoming smile. Her expression changed eemewhat as aa overgrown youth of about seventeen years greeted her with "How do you dor I'm Jack Mitchell. It was Jelly good of you to ask me out." Eveb/n extended a father limp hand; saying the first tfefcaf she could think of to cover her< chagrin: "How are you? How much you look like Frank." Later lev the evening she discovered he waa only a fourth cousin ef Frank's. At any rate, there was no chafing dish supper served thatnight. Because at nine o'clock Evelyn asked to he excused, leaving her sister to entertain Jack while she hastened to the bridge party.

During the course of a reply to a a address presented to Hon. Robert Rogers, the newly appointed Minister of the Interior of Canada at a banquet given* at Winnipeg in his honor that gentleman apoSe on fmmig'ratWft. The tone of his remarks was that he Intended to pursue an aggressive and forward policy in the matter of immlgra-* tlon. In part, he said: "The moat Important branch perhaps of that department (Interior) la that of immigration. ' ! "If there is anything more than another \ye/want here it is a greater ..population, and it shall be my duty to pre- BenX to the people in all parjs.oi tho world where desirable emigrants are to-be found the. advantages ajud the great possibilities of this country. We have received in the past a reasonably large Immigration. front south of the international boundary, and in , thia connection let me say just a word for our American cousins who have fpun&__ happy bomea amongst us, and those whom we hope to welcome in greater numbers in the years to come. There are hundreds of thousands of them in our prairie provinces, happy in the enjoyment, of a freedom as great as they ever knew, and all contributing in a material way towards the development of Canada. We are not blind to their value as settlers. They come better equipped with scientific farming; knowledge than most of our emigrants, and constitute without doubt the wealthiest class of emigrants any new country has ever known. As head of the Immigration department it will be my privilege to offer them a welcome hearty and sincere, and to so contribute to their welfare that under the protecting folds of the Union Jack they will enjoy as great a degree of liberty and happiness as under the Stars and Stripes. The Borden government cherishes nothing but the kindliest feelings for the people of the great republic to the south, and will do all in its power to Increase the bonds of kinship and neighborly good feeling that has so long existed. (Hear, hear.) "While we adopt a vigorous emigration policy in that country, we will also adopt the same vigorous.pottcy in other parts of the world, w e will go to England, Ireland and Scotland, and every other country irrespective of race, creed or nationality^ where we can find suitable and desirable emigrants for thiB great country. I think much good work can be done in those countries, and especially perhaps at the present time In England, Ireland and Scotland. Now, then, It will be my duty to stir up^hat policy in the most vigorous manner possible." K A DIFFERENCE. 50® 75c 21-2® 10®llc; V E G E T A B L E : * .

The man -stood hat in hand, bowing slightly, unable to comprehend why he should have been sent for, yet marvelling Again at the remarkable resemblance "between this woman and that other "whom he had left at Fort Lamed. As K i s s Maclaire stood with back .toward t h e window, she presented th£ same youthful appearance, the same slen- •denies* of figure, the same contour of face, , "Miss Christie Maclaire?" he asked, 4|p though in doubt "Ye*" graciously, won instantly by the nan's appearance and manner, '"yon wished to see me?

His own eyes smiled in response to challenge of hers. "I can assure you the surprise was mine also," he hastened to inform her, now more at ease, as he grasped the situation. "I could not understand tow I had become known to you, yet ! pledge you my word the message was actually brought. Of course you may suspicion otherwise, for I have seen you on the stage, and being a normal man. have wished that 1 could devist) some excuse for meeting you." "Indeed!" her eye-brows slightly uplifted. "Yes, I make that confession frankly, yet this call comes from no such desire. I had no question when 1 came, but what I had been sent for— y«u will believe this?" "I Buppose I must, yet it seems very peculiar," she replied, feeling convinced that he was a gentleman, and troubled as to what she had best do. could possibly have with you, Miss Maclaire." The woman's eyes flashed, hardening in their brown depths. "What right have you to ask?" she began indignantly. "I am capable of deciding my own affairs. As I have told you I have never met Mr. Hawley, but i am not to be influenced against him merely by the denunciation of an avowed enemy. He has written me of something he has discovered which is of deep personal interest to me, and has promised to tell me the details, as well as place within my bands certain necessary papers." "I appreciate your feelings," he said gently, as she paused, "but would you mind telling me the nature of those papers?" There was something in Keith's face which told of honesty, and inspired confidence. Miss Maclaire's worldly experience had given her deep insight into the charaoter of men, and somehow, as she looked Into the clear gray eyes, she felt impelled to answer, a vague doubt of the unknown Hawley in her mind. "They—they were papers to establish identity. He had discovered them by accident; they have to do with an inheritance. Really that Is all I know, for he wrote very briefly, stating it would be safer to confer with me personally—only I imagine there is a large sum involved." "Prom whose estate?" Keith Backed Into the Corner—His Hand In His Pocket. "Yet now that you have discovered your mistake—" "I hope to take advantage of the opportunity," he broke in firmly, leaning slightly forward. "May I ask you a question?" "1 could hardly prevent it, and really 1 do not know that I have anything to conceal." "Then 1 will risk the effort—do you know a man named Hawley?—Bart- •lett Hawley ?* Her eyes did not falter, although a red spot shot Into her cheeks, and her lips pressed together. "No; that is I have never met him," she acknowledged, just a little con* fused. "But I have received two letters signed by that name, and rather expected the gentleman would call upon me here in Sheridan during my engagement Is that your mission? Were you sent by him? or are you Mr. Hawley r "I disclaim all relation, Miss Maclaire, even friendship. You. of course, know who this Individual Is?" "No," the short monosyllable waa not encouraging. "His messages were of a business character." "So 1 presumed, yet one likes to know something even of the person he doee business With. I have been acquainted with Hawley for *' several years, and have never been aware of any honorable business he has ever engaged in. He It a' professional gambler, known on the frontier at •Black' B e n / last night he waa running a faro game .across there In the 'Palace.'

It may seem strange, but—but I canaot even tell the names of my* parents; I cannot remember either my father or mother. Oh, I doi not know why I should tell you all this! Who are you,' really? Why do you ask me such questions?" He leaned forward, touched by the woman's emotion. "Miss Maclaire," he said gravely. "I am not prying into your life needless* ly, but am endeavoring to serve you as well as others. Hawley may Indeed possess papers of great value, but if so they were, not found by accident, but stolen from the body of a murdered man. These papers may possibly refer to you, but If so Hawley himself does not believe i t - h e has simply chosen you to impersonate the right party because of your physical resemblance." "Resemblance to whom?" "To a young woman, a Mist Hope/ "But how do yon know this? Why should you be Interested? Are you a detective r "No, i am not a detective, but 1 cannot explain to you my Interest I am trying to serve you, to 'keep youfrqm belog drawn Into a plot—" "Bather to keep'me from learning the truth, Mr. Jack Keith," she burst forth, riaing to her feet Indignantly. "You are here trying to prejudice me agaiait Mr. Hawley. He is your enemy, and you hive come to me staobfhg him in thevhsek for revenge. That It your Interest Well, I anr going to Eee the man, and consider what he has to say. I don't care half so much about the money as I do to find out who I am If he can throw any light on my early lire, on my parentage, I shall be the happiest woman in the world. I am sorry I told you anything—but I am going to see him just the same. Perhaps he might tell me something about you." They were both standing, the woman's eyes flashing angrily, defiantly, her haada clinched. Keith, realizing the false position into which he had drifted, hesitated to answer. He meant to tell her the whole story, and urge her to co-operate with him in learning the gambler's purpose. The woman impressed him as honest at heart, in spite of her life and environment; she was not one whom a swindler could easily dupe into becoming a tool. "Miss Maclaire," he began, determined on his course, "listen to me for just a moment. I am—" There was a rap at the door, ine eyes of both turned that way, and then Keith backed slowly into the darkened corner beyond the window, hiB right hand thrust into the pocket of his coat. Miss Maclaire observed the movement, her lips smiling, a red flush on either cheek. Then she stepped across the room, and opened the door. Framed against the black background of the hall, his dark, rather handsome face clearly revealed as he fronted the window, his black, audacious eyes fixed appreciatingly upon the lady, stood "Black Bart" Hawley. He saw no one but her, -realized no other presence, had no thought except to make a good impression. He was facing a beautiful woman, whom he sougbt-4o use, and he bowed low,-hat in hand. (TO BE CONTINUED.) New Auto Motive Power. Automobillsts in England—they call them motorists over there—are much Interested in the success of an invention known as "solid petrol," or gasoline in little bricks. Its exact composition Is, of course, a secret It contains 80 per cent, of ordinary gasoline, a percentage of soapy matter, and^ one per cent, of a foreign "substance" which gives it solidity. A small block of it is said to'be equal to a gallon of liquid motive power, and its inventors say that enough to propel a car 1,200 miles can be carried in a littie box on the running board of the machine.

After bluffing out most of the deputy game wardens and other peace officers generally, he haa been arrested and brought into court- -by a woman. There is no real reason why he should feel excessively humiliated. A husky repeating rifle, loaded with steel-jacketed bullets, will kill as quickly when a woman's finger presses the trigger as when the best shot on the plains does the same thing. It all depends on the success and the intent with which the rifle Is aimed. Several weeks ago Mrs. Christie Partridge, a widow, was made game warden. The trapper works in her district, and, although there is a law against trapping beavers, he has diaregarded it systematically, placing not unwarranted faith in his "bad man" reputation. The oiher morning, just as he had visited his traps and rebaited them, he was surprised to hear a noise in a clump of bushes behind him. He turned and found himself gazing into the muzzle of a rifle. The the rifle was re against MrB, CI Nothing to Write About. A new reporter on a western paper waa assigned to go to a church meeting and get a story of it. He w^nt.

I haven't got anything to write. The meeting broke up in a fist fight between the minister and the deacon, and not a bit of church business was done."—Saturday Evening Post.

He knew by experience the difficulty of sermon making. After n few weeks, he said. a preacher cannot And matter for preaching every morning and evening, "nor will Hie people come to hear him, whereas if he never stays more than a fortnight In one place he wi.il iiml plenty of-matter, and the people will hear him gladly.

Good books are masters who correct our ignorance without puthng it to shame. They instruct us without rods or ferrules, without harsh words or anger, without fees and without fatigue. W h e n you approach them they are never weary, when you interrogate them they conceal nothing. If you mistake them they do not grumble if you are stupid they do not lau^!. at you. They are the most patient and gentle of our teachers and the most to be chershed. * DEPARTMENT OF TBE IKTKBIOR D, 8. vt»t»§ L«nd Office at Msrq '»tt«, Mich. N' vem ber, »,1911.

The marquis, a man of forty; tin* baroness, a womau of thirty-sis, i; young man of twenty and u girl of nineteen made up the group. "Now. go." said the marquis to lh^ two younger ones. "You, my deur nephew, have received my consent, and you, Cecile, have obtained the same from your aunt. 1 will taki^ care of you, and the baroness will probably not be lucking in gifts." "I certainly will do my part," said the baroness. "Uncle," said the young man joyously, "you are one of nature's as well as one of the nation's noblemen." "Aunty," said the girl, "I shall endeavor to be worthy of your kind ness." The young couple strolled off into another of tbe suit of rooms, leaving the older ones together. "Nature as well as history,*' said the marquis, "repeats itself, Do you re member the day we received your father's blessing?" "Perfectly, and how joyous I was. Then when the trouble between us came I was in despair. I did not knowit wTas a blessing in disguise." "How do you know it was a bless ing?" "From friends who have married and been miserable. I can count them on my fingers. There's Elise," putting the forefinger of her left hand on tiulittle finger of her right, "and Annette. and Fancnette"— "Yes, and among my friends I cr;n count a s many who are supremely happy." "The romance fades"— "But it gives place to an enduring affection." "These young people who have just left us will keep up a pretense of deferring to each other till the day after they return from their wedding tour: then they will begin to quarrel." "But they will gradually grow near er and dearer to each other. They will wrangle, but that is because each knows the other wrill endure sue)* wrangllngs from a mate,'' "But there are those whose quarrels grow more and more violent." "They are but a small proportion of the whole." "Ah, marquis, you have been converted too late. You are not old, but too old to feel love based on compan ionship." "First love I have passed througu. Unfortunately fate did not permit in my case the succeeding state. I have been, as it were, in a condition of suspense,"— She cast her eyes to the floor. "Whose fault was it ?" she asked. "Fate's. I said late prevented, did 1 not? Nothing but fate cau come between a boy and pirl who love. I was young, and I did not understand you. Lovers need to be tied together to pre vent their flying apart. Marriage 3oe~slhat Once~ma,rricd, 01ey~&ave" to learn to bear with each other. And when the child comes there is another reason why they must not fly apart. Married and with a child, disunion is frightful. They will endure real wrongs rather than that." "And think of the absurdity that caused us to fly apart!" "I have forgotten what it was." "We were playing tennis." "I remember." "A ball I sent you you claimed to be foul." "Now I recollect." "I accused you of purposely seeing Wrong." , "So you did." "And you told me you were not in the habit of being accused of cheating." "That's right. Go on." ^ "I threw down my racket and, with my nose in the air. marched off the court." "Ah, yes, I have it now, and I said to myself, 'I don't want a wife who acts like that.' " "And from then till now not a word of love has passed between us." "How stupid!" "We should have, been whipped and ordered to make up like children." There was a short silence between them, broken by the marquis. "Something- of more substance than romantic love drives me to marriage. Youth having passed, I need companionship. Had I a companion I could bear a great deal from her." "And children." "For their sake I would bear anything." "If you, a man, would bear anything for tbe dear little ones, bow would It be with the woman who Is much nearer to them than tbe man?" "It is not too late." "Yes: it Is too late." "No. Shall we risk It?" She smiled. "What amuses yon?" "The difference between this courtship and our former one.** "And I trust our relationship shall not be broken by a tennis ball. See that young rascal In there? He is stealing bis arm around your niece's waist. He is imprinting a kiss on her lips." "You are crushing the flowers in my corsage." "And taking t h e dew from yonr lips." "Enough of this.

When Keith reaches the Wagon the raiders have mabsacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait Keith is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser, being a ruftlan named Black Bart. A npgi'o companion In his cell named Neb tells'him that he knew the Keiths In Virginia. Neb says one of the murdered men was John Sibley, the other Gen. Willis Waite. formerly a Confederate officer. The plainsman and Neb escape, and later the fugitives come upon a cabin and And Its occupant to be a young girl, whom Keith thinks he saw at Carson City. The girl explains that she is in search of a brother, who had deserted from-the army, and that a Mr. Hawley induced her to come to the cabin while he sought tier brother. Hawley appears, and Keith in hiding recognizes him as Black Bart. There is a terrific battle in the darkened room in which Keith is victor. Horses are appropriated, and the girl who saya that her name is Hope, joins In the escape. Keith explains his situation and the fugitives make for Fort Lamed, whfre the g!r] Is left with the hotel landlady. Miss Hope tells that slie is the daughter of General Walte. Keith and Neb drift Into Sheridan, where Keith meets an old friend, Dr. Falrbaln. Keith meets the brother of Hops Watte, under the assumed name of Fred Willoughby. and becomes convinced that Black Bart has some plot Involving the two. Hope learns that Gen. Waite. who was thought murderefi. Is at Sheridan, und goes there, where she is mistaken for Christie Maclaire. the Carson City singer. CHAPTER XXI.—(Continued.) He shouldered his way through the collected crbwd, the other following Hope endeavored to speak, to explain to Falrbain who she actually was, realizing then, for the first time, that sh'e had not previously given him her name.

"I'm sorry to hear that; what became of Haggerty?" The marshal let his eyes rest questloningly on the doctor's face for an Instant. "Well, I happened to be Just behind Ned when he went," he said gently, "and 'Red' will be burled on Boots Hill' to-morrow. I'm afraid I don't give you much chance to show your skill, Doc," with a smile. "If they all shot like you do, my profession would be useless. What's the matter with your other deputies?"

It was possibly five minutes later when he came down, still smoking, his face not even flushed. "Montgomery is feeling so badly we were obliged to lock him in," be reported to the clerk. "Seems to be of a somewhat nervous disposition. Well, good-night, Doctor," he lifted his hat. "And to you. Miss, pleasant dreams." Hope watched him as he stepped outside, pausing a moment In the shadows to glance keenly up and down the long street before venturing down the steps. This quiet man had enemies, hundreds of them, desperate and reckless; ceaseless vigilance alone protected him. Yet her eyes only, and not her thoughts, were riveted on the disappearing marshal. She turned to Falrbain, who had risen to his feet. "I wish I might see, him, also," she said, as though continuing an'interrupted conversation. "See him? Who?" "Mr. Keith. I—I knew him once, and—and, Doctor, won't you tell him I should like to have him come and see me just—just as soon as he can."

"Tommy," he said genially to the clerk. "I've just escorted a lady here from the train—Miss Maclaire—and want you to give her the best room In "your old sTrehang."" — ' The other looked at him doubtfully. "Hell, Bill, I don't know how I'm going to do that," he acknowledged, "She wrote in here to the boss for a room; said she'd be along yesterday. Well, she didn't show up, an' so tonight we let a fellow have it. He's up there now." "Well, he'll have to vamose—who Is he?" "Englishman—'Walter Spotteswood Montgomery,'" consulting his book. "Hell of a pompous duck; the boys call him "Juke Montgomery.' " "All" right; send some one up to rout his lordship out lively." Tommy shuffled his feet, and looketl again at the marshal; he had received positive orders about that room, and was fully convinced that Montgomery would not take kindly to eviction. But Hickock's quiet gray eyes were Insistent. "Here, 'Red,'" he finally called to the burley porter, "hustle up tc^ '15,' an' tell that fellow Montgomery he's got to get out; tell nim we want the room for a lady." Hlckock watched the man disappear up the stairs, helped himself carefully to a cigar out of the stand, tossing a coin to the clerk and then deliberately lighting up. "Think Montgomery will be pleased?" he asked shortly. "No; he'll probably throw 'Red' down stairs." The marshal smiled, his glance turning expectant*,, in th-1 direction. "Then perhaps I had better remain, Tommy." And he strolled nonchalantly over to the open window, and stood there looking quietly out, a spiral of blue smoke rising from his cigar. They could distinctly hear the pounding on the door above, and occasionally the sound of the porter's voice, but the straight, erect figure at the window remained motionless. Finally "Red" came down, nursing his knuckles. "Says he'll be damned if he will— says he's gone to bed, an' that there ain't a cussed female in this blasted country he'd git up for," he reported circumstantially to the clerk. "He told me to tell you to go plumb to hell, an' that if any one else come poundin' 'round thar to-night, he'd take a pot shot at 'em through the door. 'Fifteen' seemed a bit peevish, sir, an' I reckoned if ho waa tiled up much more, he might git rambunctious; his language was sure fierce." "Wild Bill" turned slowly around, still calmly smoking, his eyes exhibiting mild amusement "I did, sir" "it surprises me to find one in our city with so little regard for the ordinary courtesies of life, Tommy. Perhaps I can persuade the gentleman." He dieapTrearecrnTp the-stairer-taklsg them deliberately step by step, the cigar still smoking between his lips, "Red" called after him. "Keep away from in front of the door, Bill; he'll shoot sure, for he cocked his gun when I was up there." Hickock glanced back, waved his hand. "Don't worry—the room occupied by Mr,—ah—Montgomery wa§ '15,' I believe you said?" Whatever occurred above, it was over with very shortly. Those listening at the foot of the stairs heard the CHAPTER XXII. An Interrupted Interview. Miss Christie Maclaire, attired in a soft lounging rqbe, her luxuriant hair wound simply about her head, forming a decidedly attractive picture, gazed with manifest dissatisfaction on the bare walls of her room, and then out through the open window into the comparative quiet street below. The bar-tender at the "Palace," directly opposite, business being slack, was leaning negligently in the doorway. His roving eyes caught the fair face framed in the window, and he waved his hand encouragingly. Miss Christie's brown eyes stared across at him in silent disgust, and then wandered again about the room, her foot tapping nervously on the rag carpet. "It's my very last titp to this town," she said decisively, her red lips pressed lightly together.

Scarcely a minute later the marshal appeared on the landing above, one hand firmly gripped In the neck-band of an undershirt, thus securely holding the writhing, helpless figure of a man, who swore violently every time he could catch his breath. "Any other room you could convenvenlently assign Mr.—ah—Montgomery to, Tommy?" he asked pleasantly. "If he doesn't like it in the morning, he could be changed, you know." "Give—give him '47.'"

"A lady what come In last night, and I naturally supposed it was you." In vain Miss Maclaire protested, management was obdurate. Then she would go up herself, and throw the hussy out. Indeed, too angry for bantering further words, Christie had actually started for the stairs, intending to execute her threat, when theperspiring Tommy succeeded In stopping her, by plainly blurting out the exact truth.

Room That is Sound-Proof Remarkable Chamber at University of Utrecht That Was Constructed for Scientific Experiments. The Physiological institute of the University of Utrecht possesses one of the most remarkable rooms In the world, a chamber about seven and a half feet square, which Is said to be absolutely noir.less, aa far as the entrance of sounds from outsid«Ji_conceroed. This room Is situated on the top story of a laboratory building, and Is an Inside room, but so arranged that it can oe vtntllated and inunudated with sunshine. The walls, floors and celling each consist of half a doien layers of different substances, with air spaces and interstices filled with sound-deadening materials. Some persons when In the room experience a peculiar sensation in the ears. While every effort has been made to exclude sounds that are not wanted, of course the object of con structing this singular room was to experiment with phenomena connected with sound. Some of the sounds employed are made in the room itself; others are introduced from outaide by means of a copper tube, which is plugged with lead when not in use Canada at the Chicago Land Show W I L L MAKE A MAGNIFICENT EXHIBIT OF GRAINS AND GRASSES, VEGETABLE8 AND FRUIT. A carload of grain in atraw, grasses and other of the products of Western Canada arrived at Chicago the other day, and is now installed in the Coliseum, where the United States land and irrigation exposition is under way. Those who are interested in the "Back to the land movement" will find in the Canadian exhibit one of the best displays of the agricultural products of Western Canada that has ever been made. There are representative men there, who will be pleased to give the fullest Information, regarding the country. The exhibit shows what can b* done on the free grant lands .of that country and most of the grain was produced on the farms of former residents of the United Statea who have taken advantage of the homestead lands of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. X The vegetable exhibit will attract a great deal of attention, and some marvelouB potatoes, carrots, turnips, cabbage and cauliflower are shown. It Is true that the homestead area is being rapidly taken up and the bulk of that now to be had lies north of the Saskatchewan river in a portion of the country known as the park country. Here there Is a large quantity of open prairie Interspersed by beautiful groves of poplar and willow. Water Is in abundance, hay is plentiful and consequently fodder for animalB Is right at hand. Those who have taken advantage of farming in these districts and watched the leffortB of those in the prairie proper feel that they have the advantage of their brother, who is not able to secure fuel and the other conveniences of tho park district on his own farm. The crop conditions throughout Western Canada the past year have been generally good, and some wonderful crop yields of wheat, oats arid barley are recorded. The Canadian Government, under whose auspices the exhibit spoken of -is being made, Is preparing reports on crops In the different Western Canada districts, and while these will not be ready for d 1st ribution _at the. land ab»SLcommencing on the 18th of November and closing on Dec. 8th, application made to the Canadian Government agent nearest you will bring" ihem to you as soon as they are published.

LINTON, Instructor io Poultry Husbaadry, Michigan Agricultural College • • • » • • • » • • » » • » • • • • • • • • » » • • The old ax or hatchet alwayB has and probably always will be a common way of killing the Sunday dinner. Since the fowl is generally eaten right away the condition of the carcass Is not of great Importance, but when chickens are killed a tew days or longer before marketing care should be taken that the appearance is as attractive as possible, and the keeping qualities are greatly Improved by proper killing and dressing. A visit to the local market will generally show more or less dressed chickens, many of them purple and scarred in flesh, with little red spots about the body as though the blood had followed the feathers when plucked, which Is practically what happened, every bruise and thumb mark showing, presenting an undesirable appearance. These conditions are due to improper killing and dressing. "Sticking" is as easy as chopping off the head, and as the bird is hanging when stuck, may be allowed to bleed freely without bumping about and bruising itself as it does flopping when thrown down after losing its head. But "sticking" must be done properly to secure results. There are two large veins in the neck of the fowl, one on either side running the whole length and united by a cross vein just below and behind the ear. This connecting vein does not run straight across the neck, but is farther in front at the right than on the left side. In making the stick, a knife with small blade about two Inches long should be used and stuck inside the chicken's mouth, against the right side somewhat, so as to strike the vein, and a clean slash made. This will cause thorough bleeding and should be accompanied by "braining," which destroys the senses, relieving any suffering of the fowl and causing entire relaxation. The "braining" Is done by running the blade up through the little natural opening in the roof of the mouth between the eyes to the edge of the brain, where a slight twist or a backward and forward movement of the knife should paralyze the fowl. This causes the bird to "drop its feathers" —that Is, all muscular resistance ceases, and even dry picking can be easily done, if desired. A different method of killing and »»e»»»»»»»»»»»»»»eeeee»eee4 FILLING % THE SILO By R. S. SHAW >»eeeeee»»»e»»e»»e»»»e»»ee« The first consideration is to have the silo ready, including all necessary repairs, for Indications are that ensilage- making will begin early this season. It is poor ^conomy_to^ejgin_ repairing when the silage cutter starts and hunt the old or make new doors as the filling progresses for the packing and tramping is sure to be neglected. The same is true also of the silage cutter, corn harvester and equipment for handling and hauling. Let the corn mature well even to the stage of being ready to cut and shock for husking; it will make a sweeter silage. Evenness of distribution in the, slip and careful tramping - d packing are features essential to success in maklng the beat quality of ensilage. The silo may be filled to the top without cessation and then more added after it settles, but before the fop layer spoils. It used to be considered necessary to lay off occasionally to give the silage a chance to settle, but this is net essential. In the case of immature frosted corn it has been commonly assumed that It should be hurried into the silo as quickly as possible after the freeze. Recent experience, however, seems to Indicate that a delay of several days Is not injurious, but rather beneficial, providing loss of dried leaves does not occur from too prolonged delay. bleeding is similar to wringing the neck, but U only onjolntlng or breaking at the first joint, uncoupling but not detaching the bead. Holding the bird by the legs in the left hand, the right shpuld grasp the head of the chicken and then, by pulling directly down and pushing the head a little backward, a break Is made. As the fowl hangs It bleeds into the neck and no blood need be spilled till the head is cut off later. This makes a clean operation and causes satisfactory bleeding and "braining" at once. As to dressing, the hot water method is most common, but often is not properly done. The water should be at nearly boiling point and the bird should be held by the feet and head and immersed once with the back upward and once with the breast upward, leaving it only a short time In the water, and pick a« soon as possible, If the feathers are "started," being careful not to rub the skin, as dl» coloration easily occurs in this manner. When the feathers are removed "plumping" may be done, if desired, by plunging into the scalding water, left there a few seconds and then placed In cold water to cool. This is done only to make a more pleasing appearance to the carcass. Dry picking takes perhaps a trifle longer in some cases, but leaves the carcass in the very best condition if reasonable care is taken not to tear the skin. Almost as soon as the bird is "stuck" or the neck broken plucking may be commenced. By trying a few feathers from the back or sides it may be determined whether or not the feathers are dropped; if not, braining may be done again; if so, it is well to pull the large feathers from the wings and tall and then proceed to the body, Dry picking requires some practice, but with a little skill may be done very rapid iy and is a great Improvement over any other method. The choicest dressed poultry which reaches the eastern markets is all dry picked, dry cooled and dry packed. Any locality has patrons who appreciate choice, neat articles of food and would enjoy the production of such. If the dressed fowls are to be kept any length of time they should be starved several hours before killing and then left undrawn, but for immediate use the consumer is generally better pleased with the drawn carcass. Some of these methods of preparat i o n a r e almost as easy, -time saving, and far more satisfactory than chopping off the head and heating the kettle of water for scalding. This not only applies to the market producer but to anyone dressing fowls.

Two Killed and Many Hurt as Storm Teas* Through City. Two lives were lust and a score or more person^ were injured in the wind stoim which swept through this city Saturday uiglit. The blast leveled several buildings and entailed a loss which this nioming is estimated at more than ?5i)0,UU0.. The damage was all done within live minutes. The deaa are Mr. ami Mrs. Harry Corwin, who were buried in the ruins of their residence. Among the buildings wrecked are Beveral factories and many houses. The largest single loss is in the destruction of the plant of the Kstey Manufacturing Co., placed at $150,000. Other plants wrecked are the Wood*- ward Furniture (Jo., Owosso Manufacturing Co., city Laundry, Methodist, church and Christ Episcopal church. Worst Tornado in History. The atorm was the worst in the history of the city, and left a path of ruin more than a quarter of a mile wide. Outside of the buildings and houses that were completely demolished, there were ">0 or (10 other buildings less seriously damaged. $20,000 Storm Loss at Bay City. The storm which developed into a tornado northwest of Bay City and did thousand's of dollars' damage to farm buildings late Saturday night passed away with a severe cold wave in its wake. The loss by the storm in Williams, Kawkawlin and Frazer townships, where a small tornado occurred, is estimated at $15,000 to $20,000. THE MARKETS. u v i . ; STOCK.

The calf should be treated not later than one week after Its birth, preferably when It Is from three to Ave days old. The agent to be used may be either caustic soda or caustic potash, both of which may be procured in the drug stores in the form of stcks about the thickness of an ordinary lead pencil and Ave Inches long. These caustics must be handled Start tht Garden in the Fall. The most successful gardens are started in the fall, although not a seed may be planted In the soil. If you have been living in town without a garden, now Is a good time to clean up the back of the lot and get a load of barnyard manure to scatter evenly over the surface. Some of the space should be plowed or spaded this fall to accommodate the earliest varieties of vegetables. This spading allows the weather to act upon the soil, mellowing and decomposing It If your garden spot Is heavy, gummy clay, plan to put on It a good supply of airslaked lime, for this will assist In making it mellow and friable. protect Young Fruit Trees. It Is time now to wrap young fruit trees In protection from rabbits. They, start gnawing trees earlier In the fall than one imagines they would. They must get their tonic from the bark of trees in the early fall, and when •now covers up all vegetation they get their living from the trees and brush. A littl« neglect in the young orchard is usually Blighty costly and ail trouble may be avoided by placing wire screen around the base of the with care, as they dissolve thlTclftlcTe and may make the hands or fingers sore. The preparation of the calf consists in first clipping the hair from the parts, washing clean with soap and warm water, and thoroughly drying with a cloth or towel. The stick of caustic should be wrapped in a pieee of paper to protect the hands and Angers, leaving one end of the stick uncovered, x Moisten the uncovered end slightly and rub It on the horn buttons or little points which may be felt on the calf's head, first on one and then the other, alternately, two or three times on each, allowing the caustic to dry after each application. Be very careful to apply the caustic to the horn button only. If It is brought in contact with the surrounding skin it will cause pain. Be very careful also not to have too much moisture on the stick of caustic, as it will remove the skin if allowed to run down over the face. After treatment, keep the ca*f protected from rain, as water on the head after the applications of caustic will" cause it to run down over th<* face. This must be carefully avoided. —U. 8.

By Michigan law one who finds money or other valuable articles is under obligation to take immediate and exhaustive steps to discover the owner and restore his property to him. Our statutes provide that within two days notice of the finding must be posted in two public places within the township; within three days notification must be made to the township clerk. If the property is valued at $10 or more an advertisment must be inerted in a newspaper and continued for sis weeks, the first pub. lication being not less than thirty days after the find takes place. What would you say if you should see a file of turkeys stretching from San Francisco to New York and from New York back to Chicago? "Some turkeys" probably. Well, one of these professional estimators has figured it out that the Thanksgiving turkeys to be consumed this year would make {aline about that long if placed single file in marching order, But it is easier to estimate than to acquire. Six millions turkeys is the estimate made by the statistician who has imagined this 4,000 mile streak of strutting gobblers and humbler hens in Hoe. Accepting this reasoning as a minimum and supposing that the average bird weighs nine poartdsv it appears that the people of the United States wilt consume 54,000, 000 pounds of turkey this Thanksgiving. i fc.'HOY i i expect to be ready io G R I N D BUCKWHEAT FRIDAY NOVEMBER 10.

Harris supported by Mr. Pfau the report was accepted and adopted. Supr. Harris and Pfau offered the following resolution: Whereas the county of Livingston for some years past has been in debt because sufficient money has not been raised to pay the expense of the county, and whereas during tbe year 1906 this condition had become so aggravated that the county waa twenty seven thousand dollars in debt. The Board of Supervisors have each year since then been raising not only sufficient money to pay the o/dinary and contemplated expense, but nave also raised a sufficient additional sum, so that at the present time the debt of the county has been cut down to fourteen thousand dollars. And whereas, the Board of Supervisors, with a desire to pay up the debt, hnve had their question of their rights to borrow money to pay current expenses investigated and have been advised that the Board of Supervisors have no power or authority whatsoever to borrow money to pay the current expenses of the county. A n d whereas, the present Board of S u p e r v i s o r s , ^ therefore in such a situation that it is absolutely neccessary for sufficient money to be raised by taxes to meet not only the current expenses of the next year, but to pay the debt existing because of conditions which have existed for years in the past. N o w therefore be it resolved that the Board of Supervisors order spread a sufficient tax to meet the estimated current expenses Of "next year and all existing indebtedness, this action being absolutely necessarv on the part of the Board because the Board cannot borrow money to pay current expenses, and because the debt againaMhe county must be pa d. Be itiurther resolved, that because of the condition existing the county clerk is Your cemmittee would recommend that tbe main buildings be resbingled. Also that the sink in the kitchen be repaired, tbe water pipes put in proper condition, three portable hog'shelters be built, the water tank in the attic be covered with matched lumber. There are other improvements vour committee would like to recommend but owing to the shortage of funds we will let them pass until some other time. f P . M. Taft Committee I K. N. Braley ( E. L.

While Germany continues ber ambitious program of naval construction, the admiralty authorities of the Empire continue to diseuBB the practical value of the submarine torpedo boat in time of war. These authorities are a house divided and such a condition is not likely to permit the best or even a commensurate development of the submarine branch of the German navy, says the Philadelphia Prese. Little is heard in the United States of late concerning the submarine arm of the service, but our naval authorities are known to be vigilant in watching what the other nations are doing. Evidence accumulates that England has probably gone ahead of all other governments In bringing the submarine type of torpedo boat to a higher degree of perfection than haB been attained elsewhere. It is understood that a flotilla of submarines constructed as part of the British naval program Is the most powerful and best equipped In the world. British naval engineers are said to have evolved a type of boat having high speed both on the Burface and under the water. If reports are true, the drawbacks of earlier types of submarines have been overcome. The machinery works perfectly and explosions which were formerly frequent In this craft have been eliminated. I ». F. W A L 3 H , DETROIT FINANCIER, OOT M U N I T H BANK'S CASH, SAYS BANKER. CLAIMS W A L S H TRIED TO G£T HIM OUT OF STATE. Charges That Walsh Got All the De. posits and Caused the Closinjg of the Bank. S. Francis Walsh, the Detroit financier, is blamed by George 11. Sweet, banker and son of Rev. John Sweet, of Detroit, for participation in manipulations >hat caused the crash last summer of the Muni'th and Whitmore I^ake banks, which Sweet ran. In Sweet's bankruptcy hearing in Jackson before Referee Lee S. Joslyn ot Detroit, in the juvenile court room, Sweet further testified that Walsh had paid fewet's cashier. Harry Mallen, 5100 to induce him to leave the state after the crash, also that Walsh tried to have Sweet himself flee to Chicago and tako a loTitf trip on the lakes at Walsh's expense, at the time of the crash. Walsh got practically all the Munith bank's deposits and this caused the stopping of the bank, according to what Sweet told Referee Joslyn. GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF A tremendous task, that of counting the stars up to the nineteenth magnitude, has been undertaken by the Dutch astronomer, Professor Kapteyn, who has collected all tbe material furnfshed by the most recent discoveries, notably those from the American observatories. Stars of less size than tbe fourteenth magnitude are found in millions in the Milky Way, and the work of counting them from photographic plates can best be described as similar to counting blood corpuscles under a microscope Professor Kapteyn places the total at 842 million stars, the average being 20,400 stars toT the square degree of the heavens. He haB further calculated that the total light emanating from all tbe stars is equal to 2,884 times the luminosity of a star of tbe flrBt magnitude. According to the Dutch scientist the boundaries of the universe, as far as human science has been able to penetrate, extend to thirty-two thousand light years. Bin these country-wlde-condltlona ofwind and weather are, after all, only a part of the gamble by the farmer. Insects fight his fruits and grain from the beginning of summer until the frost, if early still another enemy, comes to relieve him. Local weather is also an important factor. Corn may ^sny~nw~c1ie^"e^~Trr Its maturing weeks by tncessant showers, or may be stunted by lack of moisture. Oats In the harvesting are delicate things to handle. Too much rain means delay in housing the cures! and too much dry weather means destruction to tbe corn and other cereals in the very next field. Altogether, the farmer's life is not one of unalloyed hilts. He gets no summer vacation and must not only expose himself to all the elements with unremitting toll, but must do these things u n l e t the. haunting fear that some peculiar and freakish vagary of the weather will come along and swaep most of his profits away in a single day. Owosso to Pay for Repairs. The relief commerce appointed to extend aid to the needy cyclone sufferers were surprised at the independence and self-reliance expressed by them. They found only two people who needed or asked for financial aid. A foreman and a gang of carpenters arrived in the city from St. Johns Tuesday and started work on the northeastern part of the city, and started to repair the damage. They will rebuild all damaged buildings, and if the property owners cannoi afford to pay, the city will stand the expense. There has been absolutely no vandalism in the city and the best of order prevails. The police have had no extra work to do. There is no chance of the city losing any of its industries. The citiz e n s o f Owosso expect the ctty~To~ help the Estev Manufacturing Co. rebuild. Alpena Cou.ity Abounds in Bear. Alpena county is literally infested with bears, especially in the vicinity of the big swamp in Belknap township, on the Alpena and Presque Isle county line. Many of the bears are of mammoth size and have successfully evaded traps and hunters' guns for many years. The open season for beaxJi&H hi -Jn-'furce-since Nov.- 1 and farmers are now at liberty to kill them, The hide and carcass of a tjvo-year-old bear will bring about $50. The fur is in prime condition now. The early cold weather makes them bolder than usual. The declaration has been made by a Chicago police Judge that society women who play bridge whist for money stakes are gamblers, and that if he is called upon to try a case where women are accused of gambling at bridge he will treat the accused exactly as he treats men gam* biers. This may he relied upon to cause a fluttering of devotees. If it should put an end to playing bridge whist for money stakes, society In Chicago would be better off. Oscoda Has 75 New Buildings. Oscoda will be the center'"b'fpopulatlon in, future for the Huron shore district which was wiped out by flre four months ago, from present indications. The town is being rebuilt at a rapid pace, while the adjacent town of Au Sable is hut little better off than it was after being swept by the great conflagration. In Oscoda 75 new buildings have been erected, replacing burned structures. This Includes several modern stores, a bank, foundry, laundry and many substantial houses. The water works is again in commission and in better shape than ever before. Good wages are paid, but-labor lascarce. Merchants report excellent business and all relief work ceased several weeks ago. The Oscoda schools, which the fire spared, now show a record enrollment of 200 pupils with six teachers. STATE BRIEFS.

The Rsbels Capture the Han Yang Arsenal by a Clever Ruse Without Firing a Shot. The steamer Canada Maru, which arrived at New York from the Orient, was at Shanghai on Oct. 23 and 22, when thousands of refugees were flocking to that port from Hankow. The steamer brought stories of many eyewitnesses who told of bloody incidents. L. Suzora, of Yokohama, who went with a deputation from Hankow to Wu Chang to rescue the missionaries and foreigners, said that upon seeking admittance to the city the gates were suddenly opened and a large number of captured Manchus were dragged out by their hair, beheaded and their heads hurled at the feet of the delegates The gates were then closed and the foreigners went back to tell what they had seen. On the city wall a number of rebel soldiers stood to watch for Manchus trying to escape with ropes. Those attempting to escape were, riddled with bullets as they lowered themselves. Suzora saw a Manchu official who had paid a coolie $18,000 for a sampan dragged ashore and beheaded. At a place near Hankow, where foreign firms left their premises, the rebels caught a gang of looters, beheaded them and nailed their heads to tbe doors of stores and dwellings with signs telling of the fate other robbers would meet. A Manchu who had boarded a Japanese river boat was making his way to the city when rebels came aboard, seized him and led him back to the city gate, where he was beheaded. His head was struck on a pole. A policeman who failed to stop looters was decapitated and his head put in a basket, over which a placard was placed. The Han Yang arsenal was captured by a clever ruse, Several hundred insurgents crossed the river in sampans and rushed to the gates of the arsenal, shouting they were loyal troops and were escaping from Wti Chang. The gates of the arsenal were thrown open, and, once in, the irebels put back their white bandages, Resistance did not follow and the arsenal fell without a shot having been fired. U. S. Troops to Be Sent to China. A small force of regular troop_s_ probably wTTPbe sent from Manila on the transport Sherman within the next few days for China.

There are BO many reasons why the farmer and his family should attend the great International Live Stock Exposition afc Chicago, that it is well and opportune at this . time to mention some of them. This great Exposition, the greatest indeed of all similar shows, is so apt to be viewed by the farmer, breeder, and stockman as merely a place* where he should go to see the animals exhibited there, and for business* purposes only. This is a very narrow view of so great and important a subject; for the animals seen at this Expoeition, wonderful and extraordinary as they are, are but the results of years of labor on the great farms and ranges of the West, although they stand for the greatest and best of American breeding and feeding.. The great object of the founders of tbe International Live Stock Exposition, was to present to the breeders and farmers of this country, an object lesson of the highest Ideals, and a school of instruction to which all could come and learn. It goes without saying, that the men who have made this great institution possible, and the breeders and feeders and farmers who have made it what it is, are men of age and experience; and in order to perpetuate and improve this great school, and the methods through which it has gained its present day perfection, it is absolutely necessary that the sons of thesesmen be permitted to see the show, and so start their lives of Improvement from the advanced point at which theirfathers stopped. This can never be realized by remaining on the farm and seeing only the stock their fathers raised; for every son is imbued with the Idea that his father breeds thebest there is, and consequently, is under the impression that the height of achievement has been attained on the home farm. Comparison is the only disillusionize^ and it is this above all things that the young man wants, not -only to show-h+ffl—tbat-there--are~htm^— dreds as good as his father, and scores a great deal better. This opens the eyes of these young men and causes them to put on the wise cap of thought and consideration as to why, how and where their own fathers fell short in gaining what the fathers of their contemporaries accomplished. Another thing that is sadly over- i looked by the men who contribute to the Exposition with their stock is the fact that their wives, the heart and soul of the1r~TromeB7Th7TTlie~fBJtMttl— and constant companions of their lives, have done their generous share and contributed in no small degree to their husbands' successes. Faithfully and uncomplainingly have they devoted their useful Uvea to the duties of the home and the upbringing of their children, with the fostering earn nf mntiw erhood. Uncomplainingly they live and abide in tbe environments of the ranch or farm, and day in and day out, from years end to years end, see nought of life In their sister world, save the occasional visit of a female friend. They tenderly prepare for their husbands' annual outgoing to the great International Show, and lovinglyawait his looked for return. It would be but the pulling of a little wider or* tho husband's purse to give to these admirable women a taste of the fascinations and enjoyments of a week's ..visit to a great city, as well as to e x - perience the delight of seeing the exhibits passed upon in the judging ring. Such a trip, apart from the good then change would do them, would serve the purpose, of intense enjoyment and Interesting conversation on their return, and If we Judge women aright, would instill Into their sympathetio hearts a desire to still further assist In the future successes of their husbands. The daughters, too, of these people, particularly those who have attained or are verging upon early womanhood*, would be greatly improved by thesights and surroundings of a trip to> Chicago and the International Show. Young minds are narrowed by a continuous residence among only those of their own lives and habits and upon such an occasion as this, fathers should expand still further the strings of their purses to enable these young ' women to see at least some little life, especially when under their own and their mother's care. The delights of anticipation and thepleasures of accomplishment, are such Inexpressible Joys to youth that it la nothing short of inconsiderate selfish-- nest to prevent such occasional enjoyment to these young people, particularly when it can be attained at such comparatively lit'tle outlay. The good that such trips accomplish is shown in a thousand ways and there is not a breeder, feeder or fanner In the wholeof the great west who will not realise, that the companionship of his wife and children to Chicago during tbV week of the International Live 8tock Exposition, December 2 to 9, has not. only been an Inexpressible delight tohimself, but a benefit to his home, bin. business and his future.

The one «xception in the category of holidays has been Thanksgiving. One and a/t our presidents have, save under the most unusual circumstances, observed the November day of prayer and thankfulness in pretty much the same way. Indeed, it is something of a marvel that men of widely differing temperaments living at different periods of our history have found it possible to conform so closely to what has now almost become a set of unwritten rules at the White House. None of the veteran employes of the presidential mansion has even been able to advance a wholly satisfactory theory as to why our chief magistrates have followed so closely in one another's footsteps in the observance of Thanksgiving when tbey have allowed themselves considerable latitude with regard to other holidays, such as Fourth of July. One supposition is to the effect that the religious significance of Thanksgiving prescribes a certain form of observance Another theory is that it is the fact that Thanksgiving is so pre-eminently a family holiday—a day for family reunions. And finally, and perhaps it Is the most plausable, is the premise that precedent once firmly established at the While House is pretty likely to be rigidly adbeared to. ; . - . Whereas the program of a president of the United States on the last Thursday in November does not differ much from that of many an ordinary citizen, the Thanksgiving event requires attention from him earlier than from the average individual, who. perhaps, does not give it a thougnt until the good wife reminds him that he had better engage a turkey, or the son and it is pretty safe for the president of the United States to count on a house lull of people on Thanksgiving The holiday is recognized as toe occasion for family reunions, and wben. as,m tne case of Roosevelt and Taft, there are a l u m b e r of children, the young people have all come home tor the occasion—like as not accompanied by school friends, who account it a real treat to be entertained at the White House over a holiday. In the case of presidents who, like McKinley. have bad no living children, there have usually been nieces and nephews and other relatives to make up a merry circle, and one mistress or the White House—the beloved Mrs Hayes—made it a custom ro entertain at dinner on such occasions all the empioves of the piesidential offices and'their famine? However. 1n justice to latter day > First Ladies ol the Land, it should be explained that such hospitality would be no slight chore when there are dozens of employes, to say nothing/of the couple of dozen policemen who are detailed to guard the White House In some administrations it has been the custom to spend the evening of Thanksgiving day very quietly at the White, House, but latterlyfwith the —principal meat ~of the day postponed until nightfall, it has been the rule for the dinner party to adjourn to the spacious and historic East room for social festivities of one kind or another There is always music on such occasions, the $15,000 "gold piano" he!UK ready fjQ_._hand.Jn heir begins to dlscusp the prospects of the Thanksgiving day football contest. The forethought of the president in the matter arises from the responsibility which rests upon him for the issuance of the official Thanksgiving day proclamation which Axes the date and formally calls upon all the people of the country to assemble in the churches and give thanks for the blessings of the year. \ As it is, there is no surety and little likelihood that a busy president will, on his own initiative, assume the role of herald of the Thanksgiving. Accordingly one of the clerks at the White House, whose duty It is to keep tab of the president's engagement and act as a human memorandum pad, reminds his chief along about the first week In November that it Is time to issue the customary Thanksgiving proclamation. Or perhaps the proclamation, beautifully engrossed, comes over to the White House from the state department all ready for the president's signature And this lets a secret out of the bag— namely, that not all of our presidents have written their own Thanksgiving proclamations. Roosevelt, whorather prides himself on his literary abilities, insisted on doing so. but most of the occupants of the White Hause have been only too glad to fall back on precedent and allow this call to be properly phrased by a man named Smith, who holds a confidential position in the state department and has been for. lo. these many years, acting as the chief executive's proxy in writing holiday proclamations and composing those ceremonial letters of congratulation or condolence which our ruler Is called upon to send every now and then to sovereigns overseas. With the proclamation out of tbe way the president does not need to bother any further about the preliminaries for Thanksgiving—not even as to the turkey for the feast—since kind-hearted admirers of the chief magistrate can always be depended upon to send him especially choice gobblers as gifts. Why, one prosperous fanner In Rhode Island has not missed a Thanksgiving ,4or considerably more than a third of a century in the donation of a White House Thanksgiving bird. Apparently he does not let his own politics influence the size of the birds he sends either, for 3rant and Cleveland and Roosevelt all received Torn this source turkeys that tipped tbe scale* it close to 36 pounds apiece. Thanksgiving day, when it arrives, is a nooning wben the president does not have to tumble out of bed at any particular hour, because tbe president has no office hours on Thanksgiving To some of our presidents, such as Roosevelt, who were never tempted to oversleep, this is no special boon, but it is something of a blessing to_the present.occupant of the White House, who is by preference a late riser. The White House offices are open on Thanksgiving, as they are on every other day dfty and night in the year, and the president may stroll over to dispose of the most urgent mail and telegrams, but there is nothing obligatory about this, and there have been Thanksgivings on which the chief magistrate has not set foot in bis workshop. The one pre-eminent and invariable duty of Thanksgiving morning for the president is attendance at divine worship. Having advised other people to repair to the churches on this occasion to give thanks it would be accounted odd if he did not do likewise, no matter what the weather conditions. Very often the president has walked to church on Thanksgiving, and be is almost certain to find his route lined with spectators who avail themselves of a certainty that does not characterize a president's church-going at other times. Almost all our presidents, from Washington to Lincoln, attended Thanksgiving services In quaint little 8t. John's church—nicknamed the "Church of the Presidents "—which stands just across the park from the White House, but later 'presidents have worshipped in different edifices. President Taft goes to a Unitarian church about one-third of a mile from the presidential mansion, but Mrs. Taft and Miss Helen go to S t John's, to occupy the pew that for nearly a century has been reserved for our president's families. Of late years the president has on some Thanksgivings attended two church services In succession, and this brings him home lata for luncheon. Just here should be mentioned one of the few changes that have ever taken place in the White House program for Thanksgiving day. Years ago It was the Invariable custom to serve tbe Thanksgiving dinner at noon, but latterry most presidents have preferred to have dinner served at 7 or 730 o'clock In tbe evening. An American president Is allowed some latitude as to the manner in which he spends the afternoon of Thanksgiving day. He may spend it visiting with his family or reading, but almost Invariably the later afternoon is devoted to a constitutional. A long walk Is an excellent appetizer' for the turkey and cranberry sauce, although some t>f our later presidents, including both Taft and Roosevelt, have ridden horseback In the twilight of the autumn holiday. one corner of the big room, and when young people have been In evidence, as at every Thanksgiving celebration in the White House during the past decade, there haH us- "•"tratty-be"en some-dancing— the old-fashioned dances, such as the Virginia reel, being the favorites on such accasionR President Taft. t may be added, however/does not need the charitable consideration of "square dances," He is adept at waltzes and other "round dances." and trips the "light fantastic" with the enthusiasm of a man of half his weight. is/iy/jyc? c/fj>//?c/+-* Good Reasons For Thankfulness There is no one so old nor so young that be cannot scare up cause for thankfulness, if merely for the Pharisaical reason of not being as some one else. -When you do not see the necessity of being grateful for what you are and have, go probing for what you have escaped. Prom this point of view tbe national holiday will not seem a hollow mockery of your hard luck. The woman who thinks herself too trouble pursued to give thanks may "take another think" and say fervently: "It Is to be grateful that for me: "The stealing of my morning paper will not ruin my temper and a belated breakfast will not put me in a grouch for tbe day. "There is no waiting my time for a barber to make me a dally sight with -father while he con* verses at length. "There Is open enjoyment In a bit of gossip without feeling bound to pretend my sex never indulged in such a pernicious habit. "A mirror need not mean surreptitious glances lest I be thought vain, and If I happen to be loud in my tastes 1 need not subdue them to somber hues or else go clad in ties, socks, and vests that are the joke of the club. "There Is no need for Inventiveness to explain nights out and I can take my pleasure less wearingly than In 'whooping It up.' "The first of the month means merely my own bills, or some one to pay tbem. not settling accounts for a whole family. "A cotillon is an accustomed sensation of waiting to be asked, not a nerve racking fear of being a masculine wall flower. "There may be a dozen strings to my bow without achieving tbe reputation of being a gay deceiver and running risks of getting my hand called if L pay marked attention to two fair ones at once."

Having had luck hunting deer in Minnesota for two falls (we (wh«n I say we It means Mrs. B. and myself, as she has accompanied me on all my hunting •expeditions and enjoys the outdoor jldea fully as well as I do, besides [being a good Bhot). decided on a (trial for moose. Now, when one is jto hunt moose, the principal thing Is to go where the lioose are. So after a thorough investigation into (the. whereabouts of these animals iwe concluded thst Cook county, [Minnesota, probably had more ixnoose to the square mile than any other place in America, and I (think that our findings will be (borne out by the results of that hunt. ^Having decided where to go, It (was next in order to secure the ieervices of someone with a thorough knowledge of the country, for a guide. Through the kindness of my friend. Dr. F. B. Hicks of Grand Marais, Cook county. Minnesota, I was put in communication with Mr. Gilbert Gilbertson of that placo, Whose personal services we were fortunate enough to secure. Right here let me say that Gilbert Gil- £ertson Is without doubt the most loroughly qualified g u i ^ in Cook county, having a thorough knowledge of the country as well as the habits and haunts of game. Mr. Gilbertson has four men, all good guides, and he has a most unique method of charging for his services. He or his men will take charge of one, two or three men for $10 per day, or he will guarantee to get you a good, fair shot at a moose for $25, provided, however, that you lagree to "hike" at least five miles per day. We are now reaily to start, and leave home for Minneapolis, where we are joined by Mr. C. Herbert Allen, thence to Duluth and from Duluth to Grand Marais by a Booth Line [steamer Running into a "dead swell" on Lake Superior, Mrs. B. and Herb Ifaad all the joys of real seasickness. We were met at the wharf at Grand Marais by our friend, Dr. Hicks, whose splendid hospitality we thoroughly enjoyed. We were all up early next morning to take a look at our surroundings, of which it is impossible to make an adequate pen picture. Imagine a 1 lttle v 11lage J u s t _b.aek_ot-a inaTufaTharbor of rocks, against a [mountainside of beautiful evergreens land white birch, nearly a mile high, lending In a tremendous promonotory lof red-hued rock at one end and miles land miles of the most gorgeous landscape at the other, Cook county is made up of thousands of just such jvtxuefl, C O P Y P I C H T & Y OUTDOOR LIFfr *r-> T&oj=>ffi£-s or rnr nurrr #--4-. ^rftfr countless lakes-and-riv^ ters interspersed, all of which abound jln landlocked salmon and speckled trout, making a veritable sportsman's paradise as well as artists' dreamland. Our guide has now arrived with team and wagon to take all our camp paraphernalia, provisions, etc., and we are told that we are to drfrve out five miles to Mr. H. Gilbertson's, where we are to have dinner, and then on eight )mil€8 further to the 13-mile post on the Gunflint road, which place we (reached at 6 o'clock, tired, hungry iand In the dark. We soon unload_the Ibtg-rrunk containing our 14x24 tent iand in half an hour have our house Hip and a good fire going. The next day w? spent In perfecting lour quarters, hauling up Are wood, jetc, etc., and as the day therafter was JNovember 10, or the opening day of the hunting season, we were all anxious to be ready for an early start. To get a moose by still hunting, it is imperative that you get near the feeding (grounds by daylight. We were accordingly on the trail as soon as it was possible to travel, and our usual good fortune was with us, for we were acarcely at the edge of the old burning, now nicely grown up with young poplars, alder bushes and hazel brush, when we fonnd a fresh moose track In the light snow that had fallen the previous day. Judging by the size of he hoof-print we at once decided that e wanted that big bull, and it was Eilanned that Herb and Gilbert should ollow the track and Mrs. B. and I should cross the ravine and go up alone, the hillside about a quarter of a m m away. This was followed out and we had barely gotten across the ravine when we heard Herb's .35 erafngton automatic begin to crack nd we 'hastily ran to the top of a laJl /ridge, where we stood panting brfcreath. when we heard a tremenvf crackling of brush and timber, djjn another moment we saw, about JMOprardsYlswar and coming directly Our!*way, a very large bull moose. a l i n g until he was In a fairly open fired with my Winchester .30 M. 1903, but shot entirely too t l only polled a bunch of hair hit neck. Quickly throwing in •belL I took a little better aim !ant#4 pvfcali sight home, square d the shoulder blade, tearing hkfe through both Jungs and cutttagtieff the large blood vessels, the fcollfl*teiglftg put under the skin on ifev cprostu gliS*. The moots stopped, ---retnrned-to-camp very tired and hungry about the middle of the afternoon. The boys got in after dark and a satisfied look on Herb's face told us that they had at least seen something We were told that they had sighted a spike bull and killed it and after dressing that, spent some time huntting, but saw only a cow and—two K stood Btill for a second and then rearing up fell over backwards, dead. We were certainly elated. It was not yet 9 o'clock and we had a very large moose, probably weighing 1,200 pounds, but he was quite old and did not have very good horns. We soon found the boys, who said that they had sighted their moose about 400 yards away but had missed anri;.they hardly believed us when we told them we had a big one down. We found that there had been two moose and the one we killed was not the one they had shot at. We all spent the balance of the day in dressing this moose, packing out the head and some meat. And right here I want to correct a very common notion that the meat from a bull moose is too tough to eat. We ate moose meat every day in camp and can safely testify to its fine flavor and tender quality. Early the next morning found Herb anxious to get-away to recover the reputation as a marksman lost the day before. Mrs. B. and I hunted all the morning without seeing anything and calves, which they watched for sometime, even walking to within 200 feet of them. We all rolled In early and were up again betimes, and as Mrs. B. and Herb had each developed a "Charley-horse" from too careful walking, they decided to stay in camp, and Gilbert and I accompanied by Mr, H. Gilbertson, who had come to spend a day or two with us, started out. We tramped hard and followed a track for a couple of hours in the forenoon, but this proved to be a very large cow and we had to let her go. After eat- Jug our lunch, which, by the way-, con:- sisted each day of one large sandwich and about two ounces of home-made candy, we decided to try an old burning a couple of miles further north, and about 4 o'clock in the afternoon found a fresh track that looked good to us. Gilbert and I took the trail and Mr. Gilbertson started for the farther edge of the large ravine. We had not walked for more than twenty minutes, when rounding a little point up into the ravine, I saw, about 150 yards distant, standing in a clump of alder bushes, a splendid big hull with a magnificent head, I raised my gun and fired, and the big fellow staggered, but did not fall, so I sent In another ball, and he fell in a heap. He was dead when we reached him, with two ragged holes just back of the shoulder, either of which was sufficient to have killed him in a minute or two. About this time Mr. Gilbertson's rifle began to sing, and Gilbert and I ran forward but saw nothing. My firing had started another moose not far away from us but too far for Mr. G. to get accurate shooting, and he got away. We went back and took stock of our moose and found that he weighed about 1,100 pounds, and had a good head with an actual spread of 57 inches. I don't think that I ever was so thoroughly satisfied In my life as at just that time. After dressing our moose and taking off the head, which Gilbert, strong as a small horse, carried without a pack-strap down to the lake, we hit the trail for camp as fast as possible as it was already nearly dark. At camp of course I swaggered around some and declared that I would have to leave my gun In the tent thereafter or I should have to shoot all the moose for the whole perty, etc., etc. We decided that we should make an early start the next morning, despite the fact that the day was Sunday. We were up, and ready but were delayed in starting because of a heavy fog. As it was Herb's day, Mrs. B., Mr. Gilbertson, Sr., and I dragged on behind the boys, Mrs. B. arid I having our limit. About three miles from camp and at about 8 o'clock they came ujpon fresh tracks and waited for us to come up. As we examined the tracks we made up our minds that two big bulls were not far away. Gilbert and Herb continued on ahead and we followed very carefully about a hundred yards back. After a half mile of the most careful going I ever saw, the boys rounded a small bunch of jackpines and just as they were out of sight we heard Herb's gun crack and Mrs. B. and Mr. G. started forward on a run. I turned the other way, expecting one of those moose to come out on my side of the jackpines. In less than half a minute there was the awfulest cracking of guns that I ever heard, and in another half minute the firing ceased; then as nothing came my way I went around to see what was doing. ^_ _ _ _ _ - Imagine my surprise as I walked around there to see in less than one hundred and fifty yards of distance, four big bull moose, dead. Herb had secured a splendid head with 48-inch spread and certainly was elated. This gave us each a moose, including one for Mr. Gilbertson, Sr. We-of- course set to "work—at—onee dressing our game, and It was long after dark when we again reached camp, a very tired but happy lot. On Monday we .sent Mr. Gilbertson, Sr., home to arrange for Albert Gilbertsan to come out the next day with a big tenm to help get out the game. Four of us then spent two whole days cutting a path wide enough to g e t i n one horse to drag out one moose at a time. Late Wednesday evening we struck camp and moved down to Mr. Gilbertson's. Mr. Gilbertson, Sr., Albert and I went back the next day and brought dowTrtrre^wlroteiof the^smalTesTmoosewe killed, which we shipped home*. Friday we took Allen to town as he was due in Minneapolis the next day. Mrs. B. and 1 so thoroughly enjoyed the hospitality of these woods people that we decided to stay over Sunday and have a try for a deer. There are not many deer in this region, but those that are there move down toward the lake when snow begins to come. Gilbert and I bunted all day Saturday but saw nothing. On Sunday morning, however, M.«. G„ Sr., found some perfectly fresh tracks of a deer, not over a quarter of a mile from the house. He came back and told Gilbert and I and we at once accompanied him. getting a little way out on the burning, while Mr. G. took the trail. It was but a few minutes when a beautiful yearling buck came out directly at Gilbert; A Winchester .32 Special through the heart was all that was necessary. We hunted again in the afternoon and two deer came out near Albert Gilbertson and a Mr. Nelson, who were with ut, but the shooting was hard and no one was able to connect. 8candalous.

IU» FATE AND THE FLETCHERS Intervention That Made It Certain Hour for Sonater'a Death Had Not Struck. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida sought his berth one night on a sleeping car on the way south from Washington. Pulling back the curtain of a lower nine, be saw that his bed was already occupied. "Hi, there!" cailed the senator, shaking the sleeper by the shoulder. The sleeper awoke and protested angrily. "My name's Fletcher," explained the statesman, and this is my berth." "You've_got..nothing on me/' answered the other. "My name's Fletcher. "The senator elaborated: "My full name is Duncan U. Fletcher, and this is my berth." "So's mine," agreed the intruder. "Ah, I see," said the senator, politely. "There must have been a mistake in reserving the same berth for two men of the same name. I'll go into the next sleeping car." The stranger by this time was fully awake, and proceeded to apologize, and to offer to give up the berth. This the Ben a tor would not do, but went into the car ahead and found a place to sleep. An hour later the train was wrecked. The car in which the stranger occupied the lower nine fell through a trestle, and that Fletcher was killed. The senator's car was not damaged at all.—Popular Magazine. Death Bed Jest. Among what may be called deathbed jests, that of the Rev.

We Get a Slap The big coffee trust, made up of Brazilian growers and American importers, has been trying various tactics to boost the price of coffee and get more money from the people. Always the man who is trying to dig extra money out oFThe public pocTTet, on a combination, hates the man who blocks the game. Now comes a plaintive bleat from the "exasperated" ones. The Journal of Commerce lately said: "A sjiir Iring circular has just been issued to the coffee trade.'' The article further says: "The coffee world is discussing what is to be the future of coffee as a result of the campaign of miseducation carried on by the eereal coffee people. We have before us a letter from one of the largest roasters in the South asking what can be done to counteract the work of the enemies of coffee. "The matter should have been taken up by the' Brazilian Gov't when they were completing their beautiful valorization scheme." Then the article proceeds to denounce Postum and works into a fine frenzy, because we have published facts regarding the effect of coffee on some people. The' harrowing tale goes on. "Where a few years ago everybody drank coffee, several cups a day, now we find In every walk in life people who imagine they can not drink i t (The underscoring is ours.) Burly blacksmiths, carpenters, laborers and athletes have discontinued or cut down the use of coffee; as there is not a person who reads this and will not be able to find the same conditions existing among his own circle of acquaintances, is It not well for the Brazilians to sit up and take notice?" I s n ' t i t C U r i o U S these "ourly" strong men should pick out coffee to "imagine" about? Why not ."imagine" that regular doses of whiskey are harmful, or dally slugs of morphine? If "Imagination" makes the caffeine in coffee clog the liver, depress the heart, and steadily tear down the nervous system, bringing on one or more of the dozens of types of diseases which follow broken-down nervous systems, many people don't.know i t But it remained for the man who has coffee, morphine or whiskey to sell, to have the supreme nerve to say: "You only Imagine yonr disorders. Keep on buying from me. Juet us continue to quote from his article. "Notwithstanding the enormous Increase in population during the past three years, coffee shows an appalling decrease in consumption." * * • • • Then follows a tiresome lot of statistics which wind up by showing a decrease of consumption in two years of, in round figures, two hundred million pounds. Here we see the cause for the attacks on us and the Brazilian sneers at Americans wbe prefer to use a healthful, home-made breakfast drink and incidentally keep the money in America, mther than send the millions to Brazil and pay for an article that chemists class among the drugs and not among the foods. Will the reader please remember, we never announce that coffee "hurts all people."

There are a great many farms during the last few years that have changed hands, and the purchaser paid a greater share of the price by cutting off the stock on hand in the woodlot. Selling, buying or holding a farm woodlot, it is well to know the amount and value of what you have on hand, and the rate at which your forest crop is growing. There are many ways of ascertaining the volume of any given stand; one of the simplest may be described as follows: Measure the diameter of the tree's breast (four and one-half feet from the ground), and record on a blank tally sheet under the proper headings. * 1« In taking these measurements, it is best that two or three persons work together. One person carries the tally sheet, tacked on a light board or placed in a notebook. The other two measure'the diameter of the trees at breast height, and call out the meas urements to the tally man. For example, one whitf oak has been measured and found to be four inches in diameter. The Ully man records it by making A dot under the four-inch column anif opposite the species— white oakr If *t had been two white oaks, he would have made two dots; four, four dots; Ave, four dots and a single bar; six, four dots and two bars, etc., until ten is reached, which completes the box with the two diagonals across it. The trees are measured by the use ©"f calipers, which simply consist of a rale with one solid arm and an adjustable one, as seen in figure 24. The space between the two arms as read on the rule is the diameter of the tree in question. Home-made calipers, which will-answer fairly -weli^ may—bemade by adjusting a movable arm on a square. Any carpenter will make this. Canning Vegetables on t h e Farm By MYRA V. BOGLE » + • » » » » • • • • » • ) • • • • • • • • • • • • • < The housewife on the farm has adopted many modern processes of doing work and many old-time duties have been, entirely done away with. Tfce problem of a winter supply of vegetables for her table, which she has learned should be included in a healthful diet, is not so easy of soluthm. Hke farm garden usually sup pTIeiPan-aWmrahce~~6T vegeTabie their season, and many times enough for the winter use goes to waste. Tomatoes are so easily and generally canned that we will not consider them, but how may peas, beans and corn be preserved for the table in winter? We will review the fundamental steps in the process of correct canning and the reasons why these details are necessary. It has been demonstrated that there are three forms of life, bacteria, molds and yeasts, that cause the decay of canned goods. Of these yeasts are easily killed and as molds are more likely to attack jellies and preserves, we will leave them out of consideration. This places the burden upon bacteria. The seeds of bacteria are resistant to short boiling processes and will live and germinate even when no air is present. Two things, then, are absolutely necessary in canning vegetables, complete sterilization and the exclusion of air from the can. Complete Sterilization. The room in which the work is to be done should be as free from dust as possible, the clothing, hands and everything to be used should be thoroughly clean. The cans and tops should be placed top down in a kettle of cold water and boiled for about ten minutes. All utensils should be sterilized in the same way. The .water to be used in filling the cans should be boiled for a half hour in a teakettle and then cooled. The cans must be taken one at a time from the boiling water Just as they are to be filled. The tops should be taken from the boiling water and placed directly on the cans. The rubbers must also, be put into the boiling water for a few minutes. The boiling point is usually sufficient to kill the parent bacteria, but the seeds will live and ger/ minate after the vegetable has cooled sad so the destructive work is Only arrested, not completely cheeked by this process., To be sure that the ftfttable Is perfectly sterilised, the Measure the diameter of eaeh tree in the stand at four and one-half feet from its base and record the result on y*our tally sheet, making two columns, one containing the different diameter classes and the other the number of trees of each diameter. Thus, ten sixinch trees, twenty-five eight-inch trees, etc. Multiply the number of trees in each diameter class by the diameter class itself; add the results and divide the total number of trees in each stand. This will give you, approximately, the diameter of the average tree in the stand. Namely, 10x6 equals 60, 25x8 equals 200. Sum equals 260. Two hundred and sixty divided by 35 (number of trees) would give the average tree a diameter of 7.4 inches. Go into the woodlot and cut down a tree having this diameter. Ascertain the volume of this tree, and multiply the volume by the total number of trees which are in the stand. This will give you the average tree, cut one tree into one-foot sections. Take the diameter at the center of each section, ascertain the basal area, and multiply the length by each section; add the volume of the total number of sections. This will give the total volume of the trunk of the tree. These sections should be cut off to a limit of cne inrli Nothing below one Inch in dianie'cr Is considered in rough work of this character. The limb wood, constituting the crowa of the tree, should be cut into four foot lengths and to a limit of one inch diameter. Take, the diameter of tictt length of section in the center and ascertain the basal area, and multiply by four feet. This will give you the volume of each individual piece. Add the volume of the total number of pieces, which will give you the number of cubic feet-in—t-he-cr-own-of t-hetree. Having ascertained the total number of cubic feet this can be re* duced to board feet. boiling point must be maintained for several hours—four or five—or for an hour on two or thrpg Hnrcpflaivf. GROWN PRINCE REBUKED Emperor Reprimanded Hl» Son f o r Attacking Chancellor. A public and semi-official rebuke has been administered to Crown Prince Frederick William through an Inspired telegram from Berlin, published in the Cologne Gazette today, and which fully confirms the report that Emperor William reprimanded his HOII for having openly demonstrated his approval of the attacks on the government's Moroccan policy and the bellicose uttersuces in the reichstag. For a similar instance of public censure for the crown prince one must go back to JS(>3, when Crown Prince Frederick was rebuked for criticisms of Chancellor Hismarck's policy in a speech made at Uanzij,". Prince Is a Popular Hero. There is no doubt, however, that the outbreak in the reichstag which followed the chancellor's speech Is indicative of the bitter animosity in Germany against England, and the crown prince, owing to his actions in the royal box in the reichstag in showing his disapproval of the chancellor's policy, is now hailed as a popular hero. Last night he attended a performance of "Orestie" and received an ovation. The great audience arose and cheered for fully five minutes. days. The writer has found the latter the safest method. The first hour's boiling is supposed to kill all the molds and the parent bacteria, but upon cooling the seeds germinate and form swaew crop of bactaria.—£h* Becond hour's boiling kills the second crop of bacteria before new seeds can form, and the third hour'B boiling makea "assurance doubly sure." Keeping the Air Out. After the cans of vegetables are sterilized and jtightly sealed, allow them to stand over night, top side wjir-and-after-Jooking-them over to see that there is no air vent, dip each can in melted paraffin so that the rubber is covered with a thin layer. Utensils. Use broad bottomed, enameled or aluminum stew pans, spoons, measuring cups, etc. Glass cans are best. The one in most general use with a tin top lined with glass is open to the objection that some of the tin may be dissolved and affect both the color and wholesomeness of the contents. The can with a glass screw top in one piece is better, but for vegetables the can with a glass top which rests on top of the rubber should be used and renewed each season. A common wash boiler which holds about thirteen cans may be used for sterilizing the vegetables. A slat or wire bottom should be inserted so as to hold the cans away from the boiler bottom and still allow the flow of water. Use only three or four Inches of water, for it is the steam that does the cooking. tbrn. Select young, tender ears of sweet corn, husk and silk, then with a sharp knife shave off the outside of the kernels and scrape the inner juicy portion from the cob. Pill the cans, add one teaspoonful of salt, then pour in sterilized water from the teakettle until it runs over. Put on rubbers and tops, but do not seal. Set cans In the boiler, pour In the cold water, cover, bring to a boil and boil for one hour. Remove cover, and when the steam has escaped screw or clamp the tops so as to prevent the air from entering. The next day loosen the tops sad repeat the boiling. Fasten tops as before and cool. The third day repeat this operation. Then when cool paraffin and put in a cool, dark place. Peas. Use young peas. Shell and pack the cans, add one teaspoonful of salt, All with the sterilised water and proceed as with corn. 200 Killed in Mexican Fight. Federals and rebels met in battle at Juchitan, Oaxaca, according to meager information obtained from official sources here. Two hundred are reported dead. The city is cut off from rail and wire communication. A telegram from Oaxaca carried a report that Jose Gomez, deposed jefe politico, the chief of the rebels, was captured and shot. THE MARKETS.

Just how the new law relative to the apportionment of the primary school money will work oat is a matter of concern among the state officers charged with that duty. The new law requires the superintendent of Jpublic instruction to make the apportionment between the fifth and fitteenth of July. As the census is not made until after the close of the school year, it is exceedingly doubtful if the reports will be in the department of publie instruction in time to allow for the apportionment to be made in accordance with the terms of the law, in fact there are 42 counties oat of 83 which have not reported their correct census figures for last year.

BAlL-tJ*- BRUCE.) Old geese lay larger eggs and more of them and are, in every way, more rt»HahlA t h a n y o u n g g e e S O . It is not always easy to get first class old geese, therefore, if one intends to establish a nock it would be better, we think, to buy geese of a good breed from a reliable poultry dealer, than to buy the eggs. The season will be saved and the difference In cost is not much. It must not be expected that the eggs from the young geese will be as fertile as from the old. Old geese rarely lay unfertile eggs If they are not changed from one place to another, but are allowed to continue their regular habits; under these conditions they can be depended upon to produce a very high percentage of fertile eggs. The best time to buy geese is in the fall, 'say August or September. Always use young ganders for breeding purposes and if these can be used on old geese so much the better. Breeding geeBe should not be allowed to become fat during the winter and should have as much range as possible and some water. The best layers are perhaps the Toulouse and Black and White China. The Toulouse does not set, but the Embden, which lays fewer eggs, makaa the best mother. The natural feed of geese is grasa and other green tnings, and they should not have too much dry grain. A breeder should always provide plenty of green stuff such as cabbage, roots chopped fine and other things of this kind for winter feeding.

Pure water is as important in the) hen park as in the home. Sunshine is one of the best article* in the hennery, as in the home. Be sure that the poultry house is wide open and keep the drop-boards clean. Ducks ought to have water near at hand to use as they desire with meals. Filthy accumulations of droppings ta hot weather are liable to cause trouble. Do not hold over any males unless you are sure you wish to breed them another season. If you have not already done so, It is time now to carefully cull your ad> nit breeding stock. Bone ashes ground up as fine as meal and mixed with middlings ara good for breeding fowls. To prevent gapes the plan of feeding the chickens in a litter on the feedtag floor is recommended.

Bring Them ln»- HOPPER METHOD OF FEEDING Has Proved One of Most Successful Devised During Recent Years—It Is Also a Labor Saver. The hopper method of feeding poultry has proved one of the most s u e cessful devised during recent yeara. Many of the largest poultry raisers, as well a» the great army of back-yard RING i n t-h echildreTrt B |while the weather is good BRING them in for a romp and let us show you what pleasing pictures w e c a n make. Exterior View of Hopper. fanciers and farmers in general, are adopting it to the exclusion of air other systems. The feed hopper is a labor saver, writes H. V. Tormohlen in the Country Gentleman. Aside from th« fact that it saves labor and time, it has the advantage over other systems of keeping food continuously before the fowls, thus insuring the flock against underfeeding and overfeeding as well, for fowls raised with food before them all the time will not require as much in the main as fowls fed at regular intervals. The open hopper, too, h a s been a n invitation to English sparrows and rats to make t h e poultry quarters their home. Cement floors and foundations, however, will generally stop the rat nuisance, and if t h e feed hopper is placed well back in t h e poultry house sparrows will Ftay out. The old adage, "Necessity Is t h e mother of invention," proves true in this instance. After much experimenting with different styles of hoppers the one shown herewith h a s been found very satisfactory. Instead of having the front of the hopper slant back In t h e customary way, which eauses t h e feed ttrrTog, thTs~~h6pper~ has the slanting board in the rear. In theory this principle is easily seen to be the better of the t w o and In practice it has more than justified the contention.

If you insist, 1 can string out a mile of utterly impossible excuses, but what's the use. For the one-hundredth lime 1 reiterate I never saw that confounded'pink bag until you discovered it in my overcoat pocket last night, and what's more I never want to see' it again." "You can't make me believe, .John Fordyce, that a woman's bag can find Its way into a man's pocket without that man being aware of the fact. Pray tell me with whom and with what you occupied your valuable time last evening," demanded John's wife. "Bernice, be sensible. That's a dear. I never knew you to act so childish in the 11 months of our married life. You know." continued Mr. Fordyce, "when I kissed you good by yesterday morning, 1 distinctly said 1 wouldn't, be home to dinner on account of the Insurance men's convention, didn't I?" "Were there women at t h e banquet?" questioned the suspicious wife. "Not a sign of one," answeredd John.

Dr. D'Ooge has decided that he has served lonp: enough. He is going to re- Sign, and when his resignation has taken effect he will have established a mark which has* never been reached before in the history of the University of Michigan.

STREETS OF IMPERIAL SOLDIERS T A K E REVENGE ON DEFENSELESS WOMEN AND CHILDREN 3,000 ARE DEAD AND 75.CG3 ARE HOMELESS. STATE HAPPENINGS Headless Bodies Strew Bloody Streets of City—Famine Now Threatened —Pekin Government Makes. Concessions. Mere than 3,000 native Chinese men, women and .children are dead and 75,000 are homeless as a result of the wanton Slaughter throughout the city of Nankin by the imperialist army. Reinforcements arrived Saturday and joined the rebels and the attack on the imperialist army was resumed. Aroused into a frenzy of rage against their enemies for the* massacre of defenseless Chinese, the rebels fought desperately for vengeance. The streets of Nankin presented a most gruesome picture, Hundreds of dead bodies lay among the smoking ruins of dwellings. The property of the Chinese was first looted, then flred. Most pitiful were the corpses of boys and girls, headless and naked any lying where they had fallen. Seek Out Hidden Natives. Detachments of Manchu soldiers. with blood dripping from their swords, invaded the homes of all residents of the native quarters looking for hiding natives. Some that they found were killed outright. Others were tortured before being put to death. Hundreds of queless human heads were piled like so many cannon balls in the gutters. Hands and feet, cut off in torture, strew the debris of the burned quarter. Famine now threatens as the soldiers have carried off all the food. Fire Completes Work. The fire last night nearly completed what the Manchu sword left undone yesterday. From Purple Hill the 12,- 000 imperial soldiers, glutted with tbe blcod of the inhabitants, watched the flaming city. Hundreds of children and women were stabbed, but left alive to die under foot. Innocent Chinese, leaving1 everything behind them, are fleeing, terror stricken and destitute, to the shelter in the fields at the rear of the reform forces. The latter are imjxjtent to check the slaughter or avenge the slain because of their lack of ammunition. China's Fate is up to Yuan. The fate of the throne of the Chinese Empire rests in the action of Yuan Shi Kai. The latest message from-Yuaiv who Iras been coftd'uetingnc^ otiations with the rebel leader, Gen. Li Yuen Heng, indicates that a compromise is possible, that Gen LI is becoming less irreconcilable, but that there is a difference of opinion' between LI and his colleagues- on the matter of policy. fHBATri BY—wrNTJT GREAT LOSS IN OWOSSO.

There are now four special methods by which consumptive workingmen in the United States are being cared for. In such cities as Albany, Elmlra and Binghamton, N. Y., the unions support a separate pavilion or hospital. In cities like Hartford, New Britain and South Manchester, Conn., the workmen contribute towards the maintenance of a fund for the care of consumptives. The employers also contribute to these funds. There are also two national sanatoria for the treatment of tuberculosis owned and operated by labor unions; one by the International Typographical union, and the other by the Printing' Pftessmen and Assistants' union. In Massachusetts, Illinois and elsewhere large corporations and manufacturers have agreed voluntarily to care for all their consumptive employes for a limited length of time. CURED 8IX YEAR8.

I was well pleased with t h e quick relief Doan's Kidney Pills gave me. They drove the pains away and restored my -k44aeya-4e-a normal con-~ dition. I have been free fron> kidney trouble for six years." "When Your Back Is Lame, Remember the Name—DOAN'S." BOc, all stores. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y. A Word of Wisdom.

It w a s growing dark, the outside jfcorld, now consisting of level plains, fading into darkness, with a few great atars burning overhead. Trainmen lit the few smoking oil lamps screwed iagainst the sides of the car, and its Joccupants became little more than film shadows. All by this time were fatigued into silence, and several were aaleep, finding such small comfort a s w a s possible on the cramped seats. Hope glanced toward the heretofore noisy group at the rear—the girl near-, e s t her rested with unconscious head pillowed upon the shoulder of her man friend, and both were sleeping. H o w haggard and ghastly the woman's powdered face looked, with the light just above it, and all semblance of Joy gone. It was a s though a mask bad been taken off. Out In the darkn e s s the engine whistled sharply and then came to a bumping stop at some desert station. Through the black window a few lanterns could be s e e n , —flickeringa"DOuT7 and there arose the Bound of gruff voices speaking. The sleepers inside,; aroused by the sharp stop, rolled over and swore, seeking easier postures. Then the front door opened, and slammed shut, and a new passenger entered. He came down t h e aiBle, glancing carelessly at the — u p t u r n e d lac^8T^l^nih~any~sah"k into t h e seat directly opposite Hope. He [was a broad shouldered man, his coat buttoned to the throat, with strong face showing clearly beneath the broad hat brim and lighted up with a pair of shrewd, kindly eyes. The con- '"nluctof" came through, nodded at him, and passed on. Hope thought he m u s t be some official of the road, and ventured to break the prolonged sil e n c e with a question: "Could you tell me how long it will b e before we reach Sheridan?" , She had partially pushed aside her - H v e t t - h r - order to speak more-"clearly," and the man, turning at sound of her voice, took off his hat, h i s searching eyea quizzical. "Well, no, I can't, madam," t h e words coming with a jerk. "For I'm n o t a t all sure we'll keep the track. Ought t o make It In an hour, however, If everything goes right. Live in Sherl- . dan?" She shook her head, uncertain how frankly to answer. "No loss to you—worst place to live i n on earth-—no exceptions—I know— , b e e n there myself three months—got M e n d s there likely?' him—no nerve—mighty poor stuff most of the riff-raff out here—ball wasn't in much below the skin—Indian must have plugged him from the top of the bluff—blame good shot too —ragged looking slug—like to see It?" She shook her head energetically. "Don't blame you—nothing very uncommon— get a dozen cases like It a day sometimes—stay in Sheridan, show you something worth while— very pretty surgical operation to-morrow— come round and g e t you If you care to see It—got to open the stomach— don't know what I'll find—like to g o r "Oh, no! I'm sure you mean It all kindly, but—but I would rather not." "Hardly supposed you would—only knew one woman who cared for that sort of thing much—she was nurBlng for me during t h e war—had a hair lip and an e y e like a dagger—good nurse though—rather have your kind round me—ever nurse any? Could get you a dozen jobs in Sheridan— new prospects every night—fifty dollars a week—what do you say?" "But I'm not seeking work, Doctor," smiling in spite of her bewilderment. "I have money enough with me." "Well, I didn't know—thought maybe you wanted a job, and didn't like to ask for it—have known 'em like that—no barm dqne—if you ever do want anything like that, just come to me—my name's Fairbaln—everybody his charge to the cinders below. Bending before her, and butting his great shoulders Into the surging crowd, h e succeeded In pushing a passage through, thus finally bringing her forth to the edge of the street. "Hey, there," he said shortly, grabbing a shirt-sleeved individual by the arm. "Where's Charlie?" The fellow looked at him wonderingly. "Charlie? Oh, you mean the *Kld?' Well, he ain't here ter-nlght; had a weddln', a n " is totin' t h e bridal couple "round." "•*' Fairbaln swore discreetly under his breath, and cast an uncertain glance at the slender figure shrinking beside him. The streets of Sheridan were not over pleasant at n i g h t "Only hack in town Is somewhere else, Miss," he explained briefly. "I reckon you and I will have to hoof it." He felt the grip of her fingers on his sleeve. "The boys are a little noisy, but it's just their way—don't mean anything— you hang on to me, an' keep the veil down—we'll be there in the shake of a dog's tail." He helped her over the muddy crossing,,and as they reached a stretch of board walk, began expatiating on the various places lining the way. "That's the 'Mammoth' over there— dance hall back of it—biggest thing west of the Missouri—three men killed Don't Be Nervous—I'll S e e You Make the Hotel All Right/ r .T ,* i hardly know," she acknowledged btfully. "I think s o , but I shall • t o hunt some place In which to s t a y ^bnight Can you tell me of some —some- respectable hotel, or boarding bouse?"

"Oh, I thank you s o much. I don't tnlnd the noise, s o It i s respectable." H e laughed, good hnmoredly. "Well, I don't propose t o vouch (or that—the. proprietor ain't out there for h i e health—but, I reckon, you won't have n o serious trouble—the boys 'mostly know a good woman when they s e e one*—which isn't often —anyhow, they're liable t o b e decent enough a s lomg a s I vouch for you."

It w a s called a depot merely through courtesy, consisting of a layer of cinders, scattered promiscuously s o a s to partially conceal the underlying mud, and a dismantled box car, in which presided ticket agent and telegrapher. A hundred yards below w a s t h e big shack where t h e railroad officials lodged. Across the tracks blazed invitingly the "First Chance" saloon. All intervening space w a s crowded with men, surging aimlessly about in the glare of a locomotive head light. and greeting the alighting passengers with free and easy badtaage. Stranger or acquaintance made n o difference, the welcome to Sheridan was noisily extended, while rough play and hoarse laughter, characterised the mass. Hope paused on t h e step, even a s Dr. Fairbaln grasped her hand, dinned by t h e medley of discordant sounds, and 'confused by t h e vogtrerous jam of humanity. A band came tooting down t h e street i n a hack, e fellow, with a voice like a fog horn, howling on the front s e a t The fellows a t the side of the car surged aside to get a glimpse of this n e w attraction, a n d Fair bain, taking Quick advantage of the opportunity thus presented, sw there last week—what for? Oh, they got too fresh—that's the 'Casino,' and the one beyond Is 'Pony Joe's Place' —cut nls leg off since I've been here —flght over a girl. Ain't there any stores?—sure; they're farther back— you see the saloons got in first—that's 'Sheeny Mike's' gambling joint you're looking at—like t o g o oyer and s e e 'em play? All right, Just thought I'd ask you—It's early anyhow, and things wouldn't be goln' very lively yet. Say, there, you red head, wbat are you trying to rlo?" The fellow had lurched out of t h e crowd in such a manner a s to brush partially aBide the girl's veil, permitting the glare of "Sheeny Mike's" lights to fall full upon her revealed face. It was accomplished s o openly as to appear planned, but before he could reel away again, Fairbaln struck out, and t h e man went down. With an oath he was on his feet, and Hope cowered back against her protector. Each man had weapons drawn, the crowd Bcurrying madly to keep out of the line of fire, when, with a stride, a new figure stepped quietly In between them. Straight as an arrow, broad shouldered, y e t small waisted as a woman, his hair hanging low over his coat-collar, his face smooth shaven except for a long moustache, and emotionless, the revolvers in his belt untouched, he simply looked at the two, and then struck the revolver out of the drunken man's hand. It fell harmless to the ground. "And don't you pick it up until I tell you, Scott," he said quietly. "If you do you've got to flght me." Without apparently giving the fellow another thought, h e wheeled and faced the others. "Oh, it's you, is it, Doctor? The drunken fool won't make any more trouble. Where were you taking the lady?" "To the hotel, Bill." "I'll walk along with you. I reckon the boys will give us plenty of room." He glanced over the crowd, and then more directly at Scott. "Pick up your gun!" the brief words snapping out. "This is the second time I've caught you hunting trouble. The next time you are going to find I t I saw you run into this lady—what did you do it for?" "I only wanted to see who 6he was, Bill." "You needn't call me mil. I don't trot in your class. My name is Hlckock to you. Was It any of your affair who she was?" "I reckoned I know'd her, and I did." _ . The Iharshal turned his eyes toward Hope, and then back upon Scott, evidently slightly Interested. "So? Recognized an old friend, I Buppose?" The slight sneer In "Wild Bill's" soft voice caused Scott to flame up in sudden passion. —^^orr-dr<rn^tr^DirrT^c^Treoy-tire-tunr just the same—she's Christie Maclalre." The marshal smiled. "All right, little boy," he said soberly. "Now you trot straight along to bed. Don't let me catch you on the street again to-night, and I'd advise you not to pull another gun—you're too slow on the trigger for this town. Come along, Doctor, and we'll g e t Miss Maclalre to her hotel." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Pity the Chinese Student. A riftw map of—China—was recently. Force of Habit.

In—tbs—mid44«—ages—th«—country houses of the nobility in England when the owners were absent were used as hostels for traveler*. The fanjily arms always hung in front of the house and gave it a popular name amon;v travelers, who called a lion "gules" or azure simply "red" or "blue." As these mere intimations of good cheer and entertainment innkeepers adopted the Idea. Lions have always been and are now very favorite signs in Englandlions white, black, red, brown, golden, yellow—red being tbe moat common. Probably the Red Lion originated with the badge of John of Qauht, duke of Lancaster, who married the daughter of Don Tedro, king of Leon and Castile, and who adopted the lion ram« pant gules of Leon to represent his claim to the throne. Under Richard and John lions became the settled arms of England and were generally used by those who could find any claim. I Teeple Hardware Go.

Todsy it is one of he crying evils of the United States, Recently the National Child Labor committee has been holding a comprehensive exhibit In New York City of the horrors and evils that follow the slavery of little children in our mills and mines. The evidence of the camera, the bald facts of statistics and government reports have told the story only too truly. Few today realize that such things can be. Hundred of thousands of children have grown old before their time; hundreds of thousands more have been crippled for life at an age when they ought to be running in the woods and fields. Thousands have died before they had even begun to live. And of all the misery and injury and vice and disease and death—it is too shocking to be more than hinted at! The exhibit which the public saw in the rooms at Fourth avenue and Twentieth street has been doing Its good work all over the country since last autumn—in fact, it has been a traveling exhibit. Miss Elizabeth McM.' Dinwiddle, who is in charge of it, has been from one end of the country to the other, showing it where it could do the most good at the psychological moment. It had been intended to show it in New York first, hut urgent reasons called it to other places first. It was taken to North Carolina, where the inadequate law against child labor is more honored in the breach than in the observance, just at the time that a child labor law was pending in the state legislature. It went to Providence, It. I., In order to meet a federation of women'e welfare clubs convened there. It went to the state capitals of Alabama, Tennessee 'and Wisconsin in the hope of influencing the legislators when influence was badly needed to protect the American child ilife against the rapacity of money-mad employers. Better than words do the pictures and posters tell their story of the twentieth century crime against child life. The boys in the coal breakers, the girls in the cotton mills, the kiddies in the night shift at the glass works who ought to have been in bed dreaming of baseliall and trout brooks, the anaemic, undersized, over-worried, sickly boys and girls who should have been at school iLstead of at the machines— they all told their own stories by their faces alone. Go to the glass work, the mines, the cotton mills, the canneries, the tenements— there you shall see them! In some cases the rapacity of the employers is to blame; in others it is the greed of the parents. In some cases it is both. "She just happened in," said the burly overseer in a South Carolina cotton mill when an investigator ran across a baby glrt-of-eight tending her "sides" like a veteran. He was lying. The child was just as handy and useful as a grown-up and cost only half as much for her labor, _ _ _ _ 7n a Pennsylvania coal-breaker they photographed nine-year-old Leo. He was tolling nine hours a day in grime and dirt for a pitiful wage. And there was found on a musty, dusty school file the sworn affidavit of his parents that he was too sickly to stay in school! "Four years," answered a good-looking twelve-year-old boy in a South Carolina cotton mill, when asked how long he had been there. He couldn't tell the letter "A" from the letter "B,H and didn't know how to spell hiB own name! Bob, a boy who worked in the same mill, owned up to fifteen years, and said he had been wording there for eight years. He showed it, too, in his overgrown, thin, anaemic frame, and looked fertile ground for the seeds of tuberculosis. His intelligence had stood stationary with the flight of years, and so he was still doing the same thing he had started on—taking off the empty spools from the spindles. Anything more complex was too much for his stunted intelligence. In the coal mines of Pennsylvania and West Virginia they found boys of twelve masquerading as sixteen. They worked in the damp and darkness alongside of mules and took their lives in their bands every time they went down into the shafts to their daily toil, hundreds of feet down in the bowels of the earth. "I haven't grown any in five years," said Charlie, a thin, hollow-chested, anaemic lad of fourteen, with a dull, stupid face. He has been on the night shift for seven years and makes his 60 cents a night. At Fairmont, W. Va., at work in the "glory hole" of the glass works, where the temperature ranged as high as the human system can stand, there were more boys than men at work. "The works is cluttered with kids," remarked a native. One of the saddest cases was that of little Savannah, a frail eleven-year-old. "The boss says she's a cracker-jack at spinning'," declared her gaunt father proudly. "She ain't satisfied unless she's in the mill." —Poor little Oavanah owuriff up 4hat she bad never had a doll and never played on Sundays because she waa too tired. Her tense, drawn, face war that of an old woman: The gruelling labor of the mould boys in the glass works was really aw. ful. Here were tender youngsters down in cellars guiltless of sunlight, sitting in cramped positions and tending moulds all day long and all night. Other boys worked the molten glass at the furnace maws in heat unbearable by those unaccustomed to it. One baby boy of five was found earning his few pennies a day In the mill where his mother worked. He was too young to go to school! And he was v- . * • • < * • liaayon's Dostcr*.

From lime immemorial beef tea, or a broth made In a similar manner from mutton or chicken, has been a feature of the sickroom, the pride of the housekeeper nurse, a source of comfort to the invalid, the la variable staple of the menu permitted by the physician. When It was indisputably proved thai tha home-made broth was in no sense a food, humanity refused credence and invalid* went ahead with their consumption of millions of gal mending with Insistence further supplies of the fragrant potion. Dr. Thomas Darlington, In a recent issue of the Now York Medical Journal shows, at last tha reason of this unshakable iaita. Broth is one of the few genuine stimulants In the armamentarium now that alcohol is known to be a narcotic Tha experiment* of Pawlow on dogs demonstrate that the ' savory liquid Is powerfully stimulant fc the gastric secretion and other digestive fluids, with the result that real food, given with or after the broth, is speedily and gratefully assimilated. Milk, which disagrees with so many people, will cause no distress if administered after a cup of hot broth. The mere flavor of meat Is thus shown to be necessary and valuable to digestion. What caused disgust among the troops in the Spanish war was that the. preserved meat, while retaining Tickets Not Transferable. . . The Brighton Railway company, loas, persisting in the exhibition of which has just passed its seventieth anniversary, was, although not the first company to run an excursion train, the first one to run a regular service of such trains at low fares. Half, a crown was the fare for a day trip to Brighton and back in the early 70s, but after a time tha company found that It was loalag sroney by the return halves being openly sold. Rather than stop tha cheap trains, however, it prosecuted tha touts who crowded Brighton station and importuned parsons to sell or buy such a golden-haired, blue-eyed, rosycheeked boy that it seemed a shame he was doomed there so soon in life. Of course, fatalities among child toilers-'are far more'"numerous than among adults. Obviously youth is less cautious than experience. Not a day passes that'death does not take its toll of the child workers and passes along many more to the ranks of the crippled and helpless. In Pennsylvania the fatalities and accidents to the boys in breakers picking slate out of the coal with their, little fingers" is 300 per cent, higher than among ¾dults and minors over sixteen. In Indiana the physical risk to children in factories under sixteen is 250 per cent, greater than among adults. In Michigan it is 450 per cent, against the child. Children who go to school under the most objectionable conditions are confined 1,000 hours Annually. In Massachusetts the factory^child is confined 3,120 hours a year, and in"New York where the eight-hour day prevails, he is still subjected to 2,496 hours of confinement. All states with important canning industries employ children without restriction. They can do the work just as well as adults and for far less pay. In the chief cities, where clothing, artificial flowers and other articles are made in the tenements, there are no laws to protect little children. Three and four-year-old fingers find plenty to do for a few pennies a day moro-to the family fund. This tenement*house work, done to save rent, carfares and to impress the children, has other dangers besides those of the child.—TinroonruhTeris just as likely to become the victim. Physicians who will agree to conceal the contagion from the health author!- Ties are the moifc-voptitBT^mia tne tenement-house workers. Agents found women and children working on garments while children were in the same room suffering with contagious diseases. In some of these city tenements where the child is put to work as soon as it can use its hands and before it goes to school—nearly always by compulsion from the authorities—two children die for every one in localities where the child is not put to work before its time! all of its nutritive principles, had lost its aromatic constituents, gone to make the despised extract for the preparation of broths. The physician may henceforth advise beef tea and meat broths generally with a clear conscience and scientific satisfaction; they have triumphed over their enemies and detractors and will resume their honored station upon the Invalid's tray as on* approachable adjuvants to digestion and assimilation, adding one more as* ample to the list of remedies founded In crass empiricism, but finding at laat a trtje scientific basis for their raison d'etre. return halves.

The pure food agitation is tending to force the farmer to approach this ideal; the farmer's own Interests suggest the advisability of voluntarily making the test. To thpse who have no other reason for making the teat than a desire to know the condition of their herds as to tuberculosis, we will say that this teat can be applied in one of two ways. Either of these ways necessitates having the test made by one who is trained to do this work. The graduate of a recognized veterinary college licensed to practice in Michigan should be able to make the test for you. In order to make it possible for more farmers to avail themselves of the test, the laboratory of bacteriology at M. A. C. has undertaken to tram competent agricv.V.urat students to make the tubers lin test under the supervision of 11. a laboratory, and there are now a considerable number of such young men who have satisfactorily made tests both on their own and on neighbors' herds. To either of these classes of men, the veterinarian or the agricultural student trained as indicated above, the laboratory of bacteriology will furnish'the tuberculin and the charts for recording the- temperature and other data without charge.

Kalamazoo. — Charles W. king, inventor of the King folding canvaa boat, haa been found by ticeable charges can be made in a few days time and if from ten days, to three weeks' careful feeding is practiced a neat profit may be realized as »1 result of the Increased weight and the superior quality of the meat. Most fatfeners feed twice a day, 12 hours between, feeds, and are careful to have $fce-ifood-of such a constituency that it will drop--not run— from the end of a wooden ladle and not lumpy enougti that tho~1rtrdr'-es»'!^$e»d*- t o « e living in poverty, weak carry it away frdt»~thetroughs. Feed ing may be done three times a day if preferred, the birds allowed all they will clean up in a short time and then the troughs cleaned and turned over. For ordinary fattening? whether it be done in crates or in small pens where the birds can be kept reasonably quiet, a mixture of two parts ground oats, two partB ground buckwheat and one part corn meal may be used; a mixture of equal parts ground oats, ground barley, and ground buckwheat; or if preferred, a mixture of two parts ground barley, two parts low grade flour, one part wheat bran. In either case the meal should be mixed into a thin porridge with sour skim milk or buttermilk, but if it is not convenient tos> procure the milk in sufficient quantities, meat and raw vegetable foods may be added to the ration. If the chickens have been on free range and had only hard grain foods It is well to starve them 24 hours, then start them on the wet mash iu small quantities, six or eight ounces for a dozen bird?, and gradually increase this amount till they are eating all they can. The appetites must be kept, sharp, which may be done with variety of foods and addition of plenty of grit and charcoal. Thin shavings of tallow may be added the last few dc.y«5 and is readily converted into chicken fat which not oniy adds .weight but gives the carcass a more finished appearance and assists greatly in cooking. After the birds have been properly finished off they should be killed as soon as possible or they will lose weight.

In boiling, the flesh to be cooked is surrounded by boiling water; in roasting, by hot air, although in roasting proper much-oi-thfLheat. comes to the Joint, as tlce in Michigan, and, have hTm aefidr r a d i a n t h e at. In both caaea, if prop erly conducted, the fibers of the meat are cooked in their own juices. When the meat alone is to be eaten, either roasting, broiling or frying in deep fat is, when properly done, a more rational method than boiling, foi the juices are very largely saved. The shrinkage in a roast of meat during cooking is chiefly due to loss of water. At the same time small amounts of carbon and nitrogen are driven off and a little'acid Is produced which dissolves some of the constituents of the meat. The tat undergoes a partial decomposition into fatty scids and glycerin, tad a little of It is volatilized. It is Interesting and at the same time important to remember that the smaller the .cut pane roasted the hotter should be the fire. An intensely hot fire coagulates, the exterior and prevents the drying up of t h r m e a t juice*.

FOURTH FLOOn iS FLY LINE Above This the Household Pests SeU dom Ascend, Says the Real Estate Man. "One thing about a flat that summer tenants will never take an agent's world for ie the fly line," said the real estate man. "They want to find that out for themselves and resort to various subtle schemes. One woman to whom I showed a flat Tuesday came back on Wednesday to look at it again and confronted ma in triumph when she found several flies roosting on the window sill. " 'I felt that you were mistaken when you told me yesterday that this apartment was above the fly line/ she said, 'so I rubbed a chocolate cream on the sill and came back on purpose to see if the flies had traveled this high up.' "Of course they had. With a chocolate cream for a magnet a fly would climb to the top of a metropolitan tower, but ordinarily it is safe to say that In neighborhoods where both street and houses are kept clean there is no fly line because there are no flies, while in blocks where the street Is dirty and the houses clean the fourth floor Is supgaaet to be about as high as a fly cave* to ascend."— New York Bun.

Folks that you knew back home—well, you feel so much better acquainted with 'em than maybe you really are, don't you? "Well, anyway, me and sister, we had a flat together, and we was fixed real comfortable. Youv see, we got our meals at home sometimes or took 'em out, JuBt a s we had a mind to, and sometimes we'd be invited out to eat, and that would save the price ot a meal now and then; though me and sister, we was brought up to be real careful how we imposed on - folks about goln' to eat with 'em too often. You know how it Is. Folks ask you so cordial sometimes to come any time, and then just's llke's not if you go they'll talk behind your back about how willin' you are to come to their house and be-entertained and you don't never seem to think it's necessary to ever Invite other folks to your house and all that kind of talk.

Out at Gecira, where all Cairo hat Its rendezvous at the Sporting club every afternoon In and out of season, there exist large colonies of kites and crows. No sooner are the tea tablet laid out than the former, who have been perched on- the qui Vive on the adjacent trees, start circling round* end round. With a sudden dive one of these hawklike bird* will swoop down on the table he haa chosen and pick off the bread and butter and cake. <: New arrivals in Egypt are always very disconcerted by these antles. It matters not how many people are seated around the tables. The kite Is no respecter of persons and on one crowded afternoon last season, when the German crown princess was taking tea, I remember seeing no fewer than eight tableB swept of their eatables by as many kites in the space of ' a few minutes. These monster birds add to the terror which they strike to the heart of the new arrival by the fact that their flight is so sudden and the theft it committed without stopping. They describe a curve, the lowest point of which Is the plate of bread and butter or cake, and so accurate is their descent that rarely do they leave or drop anything. An amusing factor in this otherwise rather annoying situation is furnished by the crows, who invariably act as scouts for the kites, and the presence of whom, hopping about the grass, always precedes one of these depredatory flights. When the coup has been successfully brought off the crows evince their pleasure by ear splitting caws, and proceed to follow the plunderer at a respectful distance, possibly in oider to express their unbounded admiration In the vain hope of obtaining a few crumbs.. On the golf course t\w kites are a source of endless trouble to the players—and Incidentally one of great profit to the golf ball venders—for it is no unusual thing for your ball to be whiffed off just as you are making ready to put after a record approach.—Cairo Correspondence Pall-Mall Gaeette. ^$B&: FOUND NEAR FL WORKMEN BORING WELL NEAR CITY BORE INTO THICK VEINS OF BITUMINOUS COAL.

The ancients were as bitter on the subject of the stepmother as any modem could be. Their metaphorical uses of these words for a stepmother are cruelly significant. Thus the Romans bad an expression "to complain to a stepmother" (noverca), meaning to complain in vain; and "novercae," beginning, no doubt, .as slang, came to hearecognizetTfermf^r "roughpieces of land or for ditches which drained off the water imperfectly and slowly. _ . ~ . . . .iU •v,^,. clam County Republican club was The Greeks were as bad with their k w c ^ . ^ Q o v Q B b w a g wovdr "metryix-7"- Hesiod spoke of/ *- lucky and unlucky days as ."mother, and stepmother days," and Aeschylus brands a dangerous seacoast as "a gtprmothpr to FhipW' * Old Joke Appropriately Quoted. Senator Sullivan of New York once put in a new form a joke as old as medicine. The occasion was a banquet of homeopathic physicians. During the banquet the usual toasts were drunk. To the health of "the ladies," of "the president," of "Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy," and' of a dozen other persons and subjects, glasses were drained duly, and then, all r-f a sudden, the toastmaster re-' n,;ii:ed: "Senator Sullivan has not bein*card from.. Senator Sullivan will new propose a health." The senator arc fa and beamed upon the assemblage of physicians, "I propose," he said, "the health of the sick?' Libel on 8tepmothere. One,of London's prominent medical men has "got himself disliked" by the stepmothers of all-nations. Th€-froad, the women clubs of Adrian un basis of his offending is his public as* sertion that "all stepmothers are instinctively cruel to stepchildren." Such a statement is regarded, very justly, a« in the nature of wholesale libel. In fact, every observing man and woman in the civilised world can recall plenty of instances proving the falsity of the doctor's charge. This London ttbeter would find occasion for apology to the women he maligns by reading the history of the boyhood of J&raham Lincoln and of the devotion of the stepmother of that great American/—Chicago Journal.

Plate What is believed to be the largest field of bituminous coal in Michigan has been discovered in a territory comprising 775 acres of land a mile west or Flint. Developments of the property by the Genesee Coal Mining Co., which is now operating a mine east of Flint in Burton township, will soon be begun. Officials of the company are now at work on the plans for sinking a number of shafts and expect to announce within a week or two the date . on which they will commence excavating. The first trace o' coal was found when workmen were boring for a well on the farm of William Wilson. This lead was followed up. The prospectors found they had struck a thick vein which increased in size the further they explored. A score of other farms in the vicinity were leased and testing started on all of them.* On five farms beside the Wilson place the same indications of a very rich bed of the coal was found. The Grand Trunk railroad runs through the center of the-territory and the new mines will be afforded r.plendid shipping facilities, It is Baid the Grand Trunk will in time take its entire coal supply from this bed and this prospective contract has boomed the property and hurried development plans> Will Test Warner-Cramton Law. Prosecuting Attorney Smith has :aueed the arrest of C. L. Fuller, who conducts a saloon at Otter Lake, in Genesee county. The prosecutor states that his arrest is based on the Warner-Cramton law, which states io saloon can be opened within 100 'eet of disputed territory. The prosecutor holds that Lapeer county, a lo- ;al option county, is disputed terriory. Many complaints have reached the prosecutor's office, which is said :o have caused the arrest. The defendant waived examination »nd was bound over to the circuit ^ourt. It Is etnted that, the State Brewerys' association wil! fight the :a&Q for Mr. Fuller, believing the law unconstitutional.

War May Split Triple Alliance. The remarkable outbreak of and Italian feeling in the capitals of It aly's associate in the Triple Alliance oversnadows the actual war news from Tripoli. Throughout Europe, and in Vienna and German cities particularly, the press is frankly hostile, basing its attitude on the reported massacres of Arabs by Italian troops.

IMPERIALISTS FIRE INFAMMABLE SHELLS IN THE CITY. Sftsnahsi "Fell" Easily and Rebels Gave Out Thousands of Captured Rifles—City Great Advantage to Rebels. Almost the whole of the native city of Hankow has been burned and it is feared that the Wesleyan mission near the Hen river, In which are 50 blind boys and 150 wpunded persons, who with the .staff of the mission, make up a total of 300 persons, was destroyed. Dr. Booth, the medical head of the mission, asked the imperialists to grant an armistice of two hours to permit of-removal from the mission but the firing ceased for only a half hour. A Red Cross steamer which attempted to rescue the inmates of the mission was driven back by the fire from: the rebel fort. One shell struck the steamer's deckhouse. When the vessel was compelled to turn back the mission was still standing but its positon was helpless, the flames being wHhm- 200 yards of the building. The fires in the town were started by the imperialists, who threw inflammable shells into the place. A strong wind carried the flames across the river, to Han-Yang, and a strip of that city on the water front a mile long was destroyed. - When the steamer left an artillery duel was taking place between the batteries of the imperialists, which were planted back of the British concession, and the Wu-Chang and Han- Yang forts. Several rebel shells landed in the foreign concessions, piercing the walls of the houses. The Chamber of Commerce aBked the foreign consuls to protest against the burning of the city, but the consuls declined to do so. The property of the Wesleyan Missionary society, which appears to have been threatened, if not destroyed, in the burning of Hankow, consists of the David Hill memorial school for the blind, a men's hospital and a woman's hospital, while across the road from the school for the blind is the mission compound, made up of four houses, a church and a school. Dr. Booth is at the head of the Wesleyan medical mission there.

A negro companion in his cell named Neb tells ram that he knew the Keiths in Virginia. Neb says one of the murdered men was John BIWey.tbe other Gen. Willis Walte, former, ly.a Confederate officer. The plainsman and Neb escape, and later the fugitives come upon a cabin and find its occupant to be a young girl, whom Kerth thinks he saw at Carson City. The girt explains that she la in search of a brother, who had deserted from the army, and that a Mr. Hawley induced her to come to .the cabin while he sought her brother. Hawley appears, and Keith in hiding recognizes him as Black Bart. There Is a terrific battle in the darkened room in which Keith is victor, Horses are appropriated, and the girl who says that her name Is Hope, joins In the escape. Keith explains hla situation and the fugitives make for Fort Lapped, where the girl is left with the hotel, landlady. -Miss-Hops tells that she is the daughter of General Walte. Keith and Neb drift into Sheridan, where Keith meets an old friend. Dr. Falrbaln. Keith meets the brother of Hope Waite. under the assumed name of Fred Wl!- $> loughby. .and becomes convinced that Black Bart has some plot involving the two. CHAPTER XIX.—(Continued.) The dead silence which ensued was broken only by heavy breathing. Then ScoU_ swore,-bringing his fist down with a crash on the washstand. "That rather stumps yer, don't It, Bart? Well, it don't me. I tell yer it's just as 1 said from the first. It was Keith an' that nigger what jumped ye in the cabin. They was hidin' there when we rode in. He just nat'rly pumped the gal, an', now he's up here trallin" you. Blame It all, it makes me laugh." "I don't see what you see to laugh st. This Keith isn't an easy man to play with, let me tell. you. He may have got on to our game." "Oh, hell, Bart, don't lose your nerve. He can't do anything, because we've got the under holt. He's a fugitive; all we got to do is locate him, an' have him flung back inter jail— there's murder an' hoss-stesling agin him." Hawley seemed to be thinking swiftly, while, his companion took another drink "Well. parjL-*to't-4h&i MV^ — — "No, that trick won't work, Scott. We could do it easily enough if we wers down in Carson, where the boys would help us out The trouble up here Is that 'Wild Bill' Hickock Is Marshal of Sheridan, and he and i never did hitch. Besides, Keith was one of hie deputies down at Dodge two ago—you remember when Dutch" Charlie's place was cleaned out? Well* Hickock and Keith did that job all alone, and 'Wild Bill' isn't going back on that kind of a pal, is he? I tell you we've got to fight this affair alone, and on the quiet Maybe the fellow don't know much yet but he's sure on the trail, or else he wouldn't have been In here talking to Willoughby.

He went out into the kali and down the creaking stairs, the man he wanted so badly listening to his descending footsteps, half tempted to follow. Scott did not move, perhaps hid already fallen, drunkealy asleep on his chair, and fiftafly Keith crossed his own room and lay down. The din outside continued unabated, hot the man's Intense weariness overcame it all, and he fell asleep, his last eonsetbu* thought s msmory of Hope. CHAPTER XX - Heps Qees to •herldsn.

The coach used Lad S partition run through it, and, as soda as the busy trainmen discovered ladles on board, they unceremoniously drove the more bibulous passengers, protesting. Into the forward compartment. This left Hope In comparative peace, her remaining neighbors quiet, taciturn men, whom she looked at through the folds of her veil during the long, slow, exasperating journey, mentally guessing at their various occupations. It was an exceedingly tedious, monotonous trip, the train slackening up, and jerking forward, apparently without slightest reason; then occasionally achieving a full stop, while men, always under guard, went ahead to fix up some bit of damaged track, across which the engineer dared not advance. At each bridge spanniug the numerous small streams, trainmen examined the structure before venturing forward, and at each stop the wearied passengers grew more Impatient and sarcastic, a perfect stream of fluent profanity being wafted back whenever the door between the two sections chanced to*be left ajar. Hope was not the only woman on board, yet a glance at the others was sufficient to decide their status, even had their freedom of manner and ioud talking not made it equally obvious. Fearful lest she might bo mistaken for one of the same class, she remained In silence, her veil jmerely lifted enough to enable her "to peer out through the grimy window at the barren view slipping slowly past. This consisted of the bare prairie, brown and desolate, occasionally intersected by some small watercourse, the low hills rising and falling like waves to the far horizon. Few Incidents broke the dead monotony; occasionally a herd of antelope appeared in the distance, silhouetted against the skyline, and once they fairly crept for an hour through a mass of buffalo, grazing so close that a fusillade of guns sounded from the front end of the train. A little farther along she caught a glimpse of a troop of wild horses dashing recklessly down into a sheltering ravine. Yet principally all that met her straining eyes was sterile desolation. Here and there a great Many a case of kidney disease has ugly watsrl tank__teared its hideous- proven fa^!Hbeesuse~~the~symptoms construction work had been suspended on the line indefinitely, and most of the travel, therefore,"had changed toshape beside the track, the engine always pausing for a fresh supply. Beside it was invariably a pile of coal, a few construction cars, a hut half burled under earth, loop-holed and barricaded, with several rough men loafing about, heavily armed and Inquisitive. A few of these points had once—been icermtnaT, the-SurtounoTng" scenery evidencing past glories by piles of tin cans, and all manner or debris, with occasionally a vacant shack, left deserted and forlorn. Wearied and heartsick, Hope turned away from this outside dreariness to contemplate more closely her neighbors on board, but found them scarcely more Interesting. Several were playing cards, others moodily staring out of the windows, while a few were laughing and talking with the girls, their conversation inane and punctuated with profanity. One man was figuring on a scratch pad, and Hope decided he must be an engineer employed on the line; others she classed as small merchants, saloon-keepers, and frontier riff-raff. They would glance curiously at her as they marched up and down the narrow aisle, but her veil, and averted face, prevented even the boldest from speaking. Onoe she addressed the conductor, and the man who was figuring turned and looked back at her, raiders, but there was no crowd evidently attracted by the soft note aboard on this special trip, as all sf her voice.

He waited impatiently while a porter scrambled down and placed his step in position for the passengers. The frown of anxletj on the brow of young Brooks vanished Instantly when a slender young woman appeared at the car door. She descended calmly and held out her band In greeting. She was blonde and pretty and wore a becomingly plain dark gray traveling suit. There was an orchid in the button* hole of that becoming traveling suit. Young Brooks had a violent pang at the sight of the orchid as he thought of its possible significance. "1 had the most delightful visit in the world," the girl- was saying, ubut it was much too short. Two weeks is such a little while, isn't It?" "That depends," returned Brooks, a bit crossly, "on how much you are enjoying it! The last two weeks haven't been short to me." The girl looked flattered, but perfectly self-possessed. "Really?" she inquired, sweetly, "My the way," she" said with sudden surprise, "I suppose father is here somewhere?" "No," young Brooks replied. "I phoned out to your house yesterday and told your mother that I should bt down here this morning, anyway, and arranged—that is, I asked to be "allowed, to meet you." "Oh!" said the girl. Her voice was entirely noncommittal. Young Brooks wondered In a panic if he had overstepped his privileges. Suddenly the young woman stopped and exclaimed, "Oh!" again, in quite a different tone. "What is it?" asked young Brooks, vitb solicitude. She laughed lightly. "No matter, after all," she said.

All Owing Us on Account a r e Requested to Call arid Settle by November 15th If Possible as We have Heavy Bills to Meet on that Date. Respectully Yours urphy ec Roche Pinckneyf Mich. A series of exhaustive tests at the Indiana experiment station has demonstrated beyond doubt tbat good silage used judiciously is an extremely desirable feed for eheep in winter It has an excellent effect upon the digestive system and upon the general health and thrift of the lambs. Ewes 4-fe4-4urfag the -winter _on_J»tioni eluding a liberal amount ef silage gain an average each winter of 20 pounds, while those similarly fed without silage gain only 16½ pounds. Those receiving the silage also consume more than 7 per cent leas grain and over 82 per cent less clover hay than those maintained exclusively upon dry feed. It also had a valuable effect upon the fleece, those receiving silage having a slightly heavier coat of wool. Of the lot of fall Mmbs whioh were finished as hothouse lambs during the spring of 1909 those fed on silage rations were considerably fatter and better than the ones receiving dry rations. It should not be assumed, however, that an undue amount of silage will prove satisfactory in the feeding rar tion. Extreme care should also be observed not to feed frosen or partially decayed silage or silage unusually sour. Balance the7 ration up with plenty of clover or alfalfa .bay, or other good, palatable roughage and dry grain. poses so much of this mountain ranger The mines or quarries are only within a few square miles of territory, but an army of f,000 men and boys are J*a*k_j^jhe_traln—oi»e ^h^ "It Isn't Worth While."

"It's only a step back," said young Brooks, turning at once. "Oh, no," said the girl. "You needn't go back. It was very Interesting but I had finished reading it, so really it isn't worth while." Young Brooks protested his willingness to return, but his companion seemed unwilling to trouble him, and as they well Into step again he forgot Franklin's book, and even the offending orchid, In his extreme content situation;— — As they neared the turnstile young Brooks noticed that the girl was carrying a small square package under one arm. "Let me take this," he said Apologetically, laying his hand on the little bundle. The girl caught It under her elbow in alarm, but Brooks' unsuspecting fingers had loosened it not only from her hold, but also from its wrappings, so that the book which the wrappings contained fell out face upward on the platform. As young Brooks stooped to pick it up, he read the title. "Ah," he said, "this seems to be the book I gave you when you went away. Tou have not read this one, evidently!" "Yes, oh, yes," said the girl and stopped short. She blushed slowly and painfully, from her throat to her hair, and she kept looking straight ahead. It was only a moment before she recovered her equanimity, but that moment was aUr that young Brooks required to learn something Important to him.

No one knows how much marble is contained in this range of Italian mountains.. .Though they have been opened for 2,000 years, and, as stated, the mining methods are attended with enormous waste, It is known that vast beds of the marble still exist By digging longer and longer tunnels and shafts an inexhaustible supply can be obtained, for the beds are so expensive that some of the mines are worked at a height of over a mile above the sea, while -many ot the workings are oveV^iOOir fee^above the sear This is a great advantage to the Italians, however, because methods are still In use in quarrying and getting oat the marble which are hundreds of years old.

Health, in oar own particular case, means perfect organization for economical production and the continued delivery of reliable tailoring that commands the confidence of the many merchants who represent us throughout the country. If you were to visit our large modern, sanitary shops and inspect our progressive methods and policy, you would more fully appreciate the reason why we deliver clothes individually tailored to satisfy over 200,000 particular dressers each year. Fostered by the purchase of woolens and trimmings direct from the mills in enormous quantities at close prices and aided by the highest possible standard of workmanship and materials—both visible and invisible— our unswerving purpose of honest value-giving in every detail of tailoring has made our dependable clothes the standard of excellence and satisfaction in fit, style, wear and price.

For instance take the subscription price of The Youth's Companion for a year— $1.75. If all the good reading in 52 weekly issues were printed in book form, according to its kind, it would make about 30 volumes of fiction, science, essay by famous writers, household management and economies, sports and pastimes' for boys; natural history, ancedote humor, etc. The serial stories alone would fill several volumes. Among these is Baiph Paine's great story of the. Boxer Bebellion in Qbina, "The Cross and the Dragon/' Another is by J. W. Schultz, who was adopted by the Blackfeet when a boy. It is called, "The Quest for the Fish-Dog Skin." Another is a glorious girls' story by C. A. Stephens, called "Julia Sylvester." It is the story of a "Mercer" girl in the pioneer days of Oregon and Washington —and that is only part of the serials.

It is safe to say, however, that fcothing has been more influential in this direction than the Improved means Introduced for marking the boundaries of fields and estates. Nor has the provision of better facilities in this respect been confined by any means to the wealthy folk who havi taken up country life as a fad and have the means to indulge every caprice in that connection. The A TOJJC//Of T//£-* /?2A5r/C common-sense, every-day farmer is fully holding up his end of the respon- •Iblllty of providing a more orderly countryside. Until comparatively recent years in most sections of the United States and even yet in many of the more newly settled districts, farm fences were considered solely from the standpoint of utility. This was perfectly natural. A homesteader establishing an agricultural domain or a sheep and cattle ranch In territory recently opened to settlement has other things to think of beside providing ornamental b o u n d a r y markers for his acreage. And anyway he has, —numerous heavy drains upon his pocketbook at such a time and probably can 111 afford to go in for anything fancy at «uch a juncture, even though be have the strongest Inclinations to *a*e—everything—about QATSWAY TO A fA/?Af xvm •**« • * * & $ the place In apple-pie or o'er. These considerations explain bow it has been , that as each section of the United States has In turn been settled the pioneers have availed themselves of the most economical means of indicating boundary lines. The farmer wants to. have his lines, as vouched for by a surveyor, marked clearly, since that forestalls tremble later on and he wants tc keep cattle, etc., out of his cultivated tracts, even if he has no stock of hit own that he wishes to restricted to a given area. But in the old days no farmer felt that he could afford to lay out much money In fixing such limitations. Almost invariably the pioneer or early settler In any community waB anxious to find material for bis -fences on the place. This will exptaln the almost universal nse In our whole broad farm domain of the old familiar type of slg-zag rail fence. And Just here be It noted that it is an admirable type of fence, too. Cheap to construct, if the rails be split from timber on the place; easy to keep in repair; substantial and enduring: tt ts calculated to yield excellent service. This to the type of fence that Abraham Lincoln constructed and its fame may go down to posterity through the rails which are treasured as precious relies because he split them. The early settlers in stony districts, such as New England and certain sections of New York, including the famous Mehawk Valley, in many Instances made their first fences of stone, tn this respect they were in one sense ahead of tbejr times because stone fences are constructed now* aaay* because of their artistic and picturesque attributes and are preferred by people to whom -expense is no object As a matter of fact a fence of loose stones was never a cheap form of con* •traction. On the fact of things it has always an extravagance as compared with tbe rail bat the consideration that leads to its se* Mmi co///rrj?y %SSAT OA A weAirxy A/te*/cj+s/ lection In many localities was that the land had to be cleared of stones ere tt could be tilled. It wag no more trouble to pile the stones thus collected in the form of a fence than in a pOe which . OJOOM serve no good purpose and It took less time VJew thus arrange the' stones along the boundary itotw than to cart them to some distant dump. ,,;«p the average farmer- working such land killed ^wawtfetfr "with on* stoney so to speak, end tat up too** that i»v*a^ Uc*lWes have endoied to • <fhjg. 4sjp. vtfea Appearefioe of the wire fence and particuferty the barbed wire variety marked a new era in fence building to ear rami districts. Nboody two ever conceded that the average wire fence *ae anytMssi>ery4>ee»tifui to look upon, hut tt Jmmvm+J***'»tiwtt***» of ftnaew In the •::'—fv'f ; , . 1 west where timber was too scarce to be wasted on rail fences and where there were no Btones to be cleared. The wire fence has proven an even greater boon to stock raisers, many of whom must needs fence large tracts and who are not disposed to quibble over cost if they can get a fence that can be put up quickly and will stand hard usage. Of course the dramatic Incidents of "wire cutting" days In the cattle country proved that the wire fence was as easy to destroy as It was quick to build, but of course that turbulent condition Is not one that has continued. And while we are on the subject of the wire fence It may be noted the regeneration of the wire fence has been one of the most marked features of the present era of more presentable farm fences. The treatment that has been accorded many of the old wire fences reminds one— in its Ingenious expedient for covering,up old material with new—of the scheme now so frequently followed in coating old brick houses with a layer of stucco or concrete that gives them a pristine freshness. In some instances ivy, roses, or rapidly- growing vines of one kind or another have been planted at frequent intervals along a wire fence—say at each post—and in a surprisingly short time the fence becomes a trellis for a luxuriant growth that Is bound to charm even the most fastidious person and one to whom a wire fence unadorned would prove a perfect eyesore. Another present day ruse for making the wire fence unobtrusive and yet retaining all its virtue as a boundary is to have the fence serve as a core for a hedge. The bushes, shrubs or other hedge-making vegetation may be planted on either or both sidefrfalternately) of the fence and In a few yearttyfo* presence of wire strands and their supporting posts would he a complete surprise to a person who attempted to pass the barrier, so completely will they be hidden. Indeed, a close growing hedge reinforced by a wire fence has a twofold value as a preventive of trespass by man or beast and many persons of wide experience declare that it is tbe Ideal form. The hedga-may be 'permitted to grow to any bright and (pare is, of course, no neeesskr for a farmer, to keep, s u b * / hedge trtmmeTfrhsymmetrica, fashlcaviu tensions with those in*the formal gardens to the rich. The hedge, cloee-croppsd, beautifully rounded A/f OJ.D-fASM/O/tf&JZQ&F'ftGMm and with no wire fence concealed is seen much more frequently than formerly as one, traverses the most traveled roads in America, Such hedges, however, usually bespeak the indulgence of B<?me wealthy land holder who is willing to spend freely for the sake of appearances. The invasion of the country districts by this leisure class, retired men of means and so-called gentlemen farmers, has also resulted in the appearance of great nusjb/ers of stone and concrete walls. Of course such barriers, likewise the ivy-covered brick walls, are costly and par; ticularly so when we take into account the massive gateways which have usually been provided in such connection. There is no doubt, however, that such walls add much, in the-estimation of most persons, to the beauty <if our rural landscapes. Indeed, it Is the walls and hedges more than anything else which cause returned travelers to grow enthusiastic over rural England. The iron fence has shared in the stimulated activity but tbe Iron fence, alike to the stone wall, calls for a pretty heavy outlay, although if it is kept painted it will endure for so many years that it is rendered fairly reasonable in the long run. The picket fence, preferably painted white or white and green, continues to have many stanch friends among the farming class and the running board fence which is said to have originated in New England has spread to many other sections of the country and taken on a few frills suggestive of the designs of "barred pie." Rustic work when well done ts always mighty effective In any rural surroundings and the picturesque appearance of the logs with the bark on is heightened by tbe Introduction of some bright* hued posies. Another latter day development ts seen in the latitude now manifested in the height of the fences in the rural districts. A generation ago pretty much all the fences were about the same height Nowadays they vary greatly. 1% some instances where the fence or hedge is purely ornamental Its height is very much restricted whereas on the other hand It is not unusual to encounter a wealthy land owner whose desire fcr privacy has prompted him to erect—at leaat in the Immediate vicinity of his dwelling—a wait so high that a man on horseback cannot see over It A comparatively low stone wall surmounted by a high tron fence is another form of constmt. tion that has been introduced extensively.

From the standpoint of the butcher or packer the head from the carcass of a beef animal is'only worth a lew cents commercially while the rest of the animal may reach a value of from fifty to one hundred dollars, depending on its size and quality. On the other hand, however,, the head is a valuable factor to the feeder in selecting animals to prepare for market with prospects of profitable returns for the feed consumed. Standards of excellence describing all the .^^68^0^^^^11^08^.^^^ ^ possess p^ittts^ot-^perfelct"IJeiet^niinaThave been devised as we'l as those for feeder cattle which di ^r very materially in conformation a: \ quality from the finest animal. It is extremely difficult to apply a sea e of points to the feeder as there are so many varied degrees of flesh and condition. The score card for a finished beef animal calls for a compact, blocky form, deep, thick and square, with broad, level, well fleshed black, long deep thick quarters, broad, well covered shoulders, deep wide chest and good handling qualities. The same tion is approached. On the other hand, however, ,tbe shape of the head changes very little with the condition of the body as it consists of a bony framework covered by sparse mus> cles and skin. The shape of the head and expression of the eye are valuable factors in enabling the feeder to select the best types of feeder animals. An animal with a long narrow head, small muzzle, small nervous the^very opposite qualities as described in the standard for a perfect beef animal and would have back of such a head a long slim neck, long legs placed close together, a sharp back, flat ribs and a narrow, poorly fleshed shoulders and hind quarters. The eye would indicate a temperament the opposite of that desired in a good feeder. The correlation of parts in the animal body is so close and intimate that the stockman who has observed closely should be. able to give an accurate description of the general conformation of the finished standard calls for a short broad head • body of an animal with the head only with large mild eyes and large muzzle 1 exposed to view as in the case of one reached as a state of great emacia- * O S » e » 0 0 0 0 0 0 » 0 S 0 0 0 0 0 S 0 S 0 0 « < MUSHROOMS AND TOADSTOOLS and big expansive nostrils.

EasrTamJngTiflchT i< Professor of Bottsy, Michigan Amcultaral College The abundant fall of rains having brought out a large crop of fungi in the woods ,flelds and lawns, the old question has come again to the fore: "How can I tell mushrooms from toadstools?" In the first place, the words mushrooms and toadstools are practically synonymous, is being incorrect to reserve the first name for the edible and the second for the poisonous species. To put the question In correct form, one should ask "How shall I distinguish edible from poisonous mushrooms?" In the first place, there is no one rule which can be used to distinguish the two. The following rules are dangerous, because they do not distinguish the edible from the poisonous ones, viz.: Cooking the mumshrooms with a- silver spoon; putting salt upon the under Bide of the gill to notice whether they change color; the presence of pink gills; the fact that the 'skin of the cap will peel off easily; the fact that the taste is mild, etc. As lor. the- silver spoon, nearly every mushroom, whether edible or poisonous, Will turn a silver spoon black if —*• ' ^ A 2 ^ < T t i n t * S * f h * £ ftftSifc "H*** mwahrooina wh»th«r nols/uinus 4» ' ita overcoming HdneY, flw !vs*jiBBB»aQe* diseases, corrects •rinarjr ah4ftt*tr«foe« the urto a c # lutee rheamstisin, ' --^-^- •''> "^3Tft# trie* * » * l e w i n * * sent k r snail, absolutely free.

For this reason one must know his mushrooms well enough to be sure of his Identification of the mushroom. Wfien in douHTdo not eat, is a Bafe rule that ought to be followed by every would-be mushroom eater. Another point always to be observed is, do not look at just one or two of the specimens in your basket, and on finding them good, judge that the whole basketfull are safe to eat. It may happen that the ones you picked up were wholesome ones, while others In the same basket wore of poisonous kind. It is only by trial of the different species that it has been determined which ones are poisonous and" which ones are not. If you find certain mushrooms are abundant and you have no one to inform you whether they are edible or not, this can be determined by trial. Eat first a small piece no bigger than the head of a very small hatpin. If, after one-half hour or so, there is no discomfort, try a piece as large as a pea. Wait two or three hours before eating any large piece. If you still have no trouble, eat a piece as big as the end of your little finger. If this still has no bad effect, it probably will be safe to eat the whole of a small specimen. If this is harmless, you probably can eat that'variety with safety. One last word about mushrooms, never eat them after they are old and infected with maggots or after they have become very dark color or, in the case of the pnffballs, after the inside has begun to get spongy and somewhat brownish rather than firm and white. Again I repeat, never eat a mushroom that you do not know, for for although it is true that there are probably dozens of wholesome kinds for every poisonous kind, yet, it you make a mistake and eat the poisonous A LIVING IMAGE.

The Anitas The Anitas strike a new chbrd in musiceal organizations. Tfce 'Bureau lias no (•' hesitancy•'in announcing itbis orchestra und in recommending its programs to commjj* ties and the public. l?o expense has b^wi spared in securing the right people, in costuming the company, in coaching it for each individual number of the program, and in preparing the whole organization and its wrirk to meet critical audiences und popular demands. The AnitHs is not a conventional orchestra nor is it a eouventionisl singing party, but it is a company of entertainers doing both the work of the orchestrttand the work of a singing <>rg»niaation. -In short the Anitas are a singling orchestras THK CM»CKBT TRIO, FKBRUARY 7, 1912 It is not difficult to find singers, players tand readers. It is a difficult thing to find people who sing, play and read with power extraordinary. We are Iqbking constantly iTforpeople who throw personality and individuality into their work and break away from its mooting of stilted conventionality. There are in this organization iftree artiste of merit arU experience,,_ wljo satisfy what we term the progressive'demand of the Lyceum going public. iug under the staid laws governing matter, he breaks the bounds of bis indicated orbit and tries other constellations. Impatient of the limitations that propriety, sets, he makes a coi'e of his own. H i s great leetur$, "The Needt of the Hour," is a trumpet call to reform. Only the uncommonly dull can fail to catch, the inspiration it affords. It is no limp fabric, woven of the warrg,,ttBd woof of pretty words and popular platitudes. He has the audacity to recommend Almighty God to help the people. He carves on! a definite course to be pursued. The individual, human unit is his theme. Truth, honor, justice, patriotism, religion, learning, as well as all of the reverse side, find recognition in the world only as an average of a strange mixture. ' Will you help to raise the average?" The Strollers Quartette As a mark of genuine appreciation of the high-grade programs of this quartet, a delighted populace has inscribed over their name the word "super-fine," and "Strollers," has become one of the most popular of musical companies in the west. A sufficent evideuce of this assertion is found in the fact that during the season of 1909-10 The Strollers were asked for in many more places than there were days in the season. This did not just happen so. There are sufficient reasons for i t ; and those who have taken the pains to analyze the personnel of this quartette and catch the rhythmic swing of its ensemble, work, fully understand. Every man in the world admires a real artist. But when four men'of rare talents combine into one company, the admiration of the listener turn to enthusiasm, that is why Stroller audiences clap their hands. It is considered a mark of musical excellence lo be able to entertain a mixed audiericeAbut The Strollers 4o'not halt there. Tn keepjng >w«th the ^idea that is dominant in each of the four men, thev seek to inspire. Never satisified with ordinary Hehieveinjgjwa, they have • pushed toward the ideal.1'''The people are not tardy in generous response to this. The result is it irtniMcal'^viwaV in every community, vision! b^The.fttroilers. Their I very willingness to rffpomliu ap^neciation establishes friendly relations with all. The vivacity, celerity and spirited movement of this company dwpels all sense of weariness. There is enough romedy in the program to prevent ennui in the unschooled. Evtry Thomas B. Fletcher It is the common consent of the critics of the Lyceum platform that no man of _recenty*jar« has nchteved more brillian success or met with higher favor in the estimation of Lecture Course patrons than has Thomas Brooks Fletcher. At first it was feared by some that Mr. Fletchers,sue* cess was too great—that he would be like a' brilliant meteor to illumine the .Lyceum . world but for a time that he would not last. Butsueh fears have been.transformed into f o n d e r and admiration as they Have seen ^ h i s accomplished young orator with steadf a s t andindominitible purpose equal to the Right royally, dort each-pffrson in this company hqldup his or her end of "the program. _ .'i' • / ' ; A/.'..- ' .

"Every line of it," he Bald, "is perfect beyond the possibility of improvement. Take the third line of the first stanza, for Instance: " The curfew tolls the knell of parting day, The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea, The plowman homeward plods his weary way And leaveB the world to darkness and to me.' "Just for the fun of the thing, let's see if we can make any improvement In that third line." With pencils and paper,' some of the changes suggested were: "Homeward the plowman plods his weary way;" **homeward the weary plowman plods his way;" "the weary plowman homeward plods his way;" "the weary plowman plods his homeward way; "the plowman weary plods his homeward way," and still others. It was agreed that while all the new versions conveyed the idea none was as musical or fitting in Its place like the original. Then one of the party said: "Did you ever amuse yourself by turning common, everyday proverbs Into big words?" Pencils were sharpened tgain, with the following results: " 'Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good-r-" "that gale Is truly diseased which puffeth benefactions to nonentity;" "let well enough alone"—"suffer a healthy sufficiency to remain undisturbed;" "don't count your chickens before they, are hatched—"enumerate not your anticipated pullets ere they cease to be oviform;" a stitch in time saves nine"—"the early utilization of a needle on a rent obviates a ninefold application later."

The Family Man. The man who makes a good, happy, intelligent home Is the best man there is. It is the home that makes a nation great, and that cultivates the virtues that uplift and adorn humanity. The qualities of head and heart that go to the making of a good home belong to the truest citizenship. If we have nothing but good homes in the land, this would be a great republic. When it is said of a man he is a good family man, It is the same as saying he makes his home a happy and intelligent place; he treats his wife courteously and his children thoughtfully; he builds up a home on the lines of companionship, which he brightens with intelligence and aspirations; he loves his home and stays there except when buEiness^social o t public -duty callfi him elsewhere; he delights In good books and music and art and flowers, and reflects Sn his life the effulgence of them all; he talks and thinks above the gossip and trivial things about him and often deals with the more serious and instructive concerns of life.—Ohio State -JOUWftt. — j Swayed by Toll of Bell.

Once at the table of Sir James Knowles, editor of the Nineteenth Century, the tank ran on the relative physical and mental value of women. Turning to Sir Ray Lankester, the aged prime minister (Mr. Gladstone) said: "I am of the opinion that the relative value of a man and a woman is in all classes of society about the same as it was in my grandfather's time in Jamaica. When they wanted to buy a negro they gave one hundred and twenty pounds for a man and eighty pounds for a woman, and," he added, "that is a fair measure of their relative values the world over."—The Strand.

Chao Erh-Feng, commander of the imperial forces, and joined the rebels who now hold the- capital. The legations have received no news officially from Sze Chuen province for the past 10 days. They ordinarily discredit the reports published in Chinese papers, but consider the statement that Cheng-Tu has fallen and the imperial commander been assassinated as not improbable. The American legation is asking that more warships be sent to Chinese waters, as the present number is not sufficient to cover all the ports which are in danger. No American vessel is now available at Chang-Sha, where there are 29 Americans.

Experiments conducted by Dr. A DECIDE8 TO MAKE NAVAL DEW QNSTRATION, DISTURBING SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE. FIGHTING A T TRIPOLI WAS FIERCE AND BLOODY.

Before it is made public it will be submitted to food expert! from many ' states for their opinion. A decision also has been reached by the experts on "what Is vinegar?" Outside opinion will be asked in this-case. too. The Italian government has decided to make a naval demonstration against Turkey. An official statement issued says the Turks and Arabs who attacked the Italians near Tripoli October 2G numbered 12,000. Their losses were 2,000 killed and 400 wounded. It has been found impossible to bury the decomposing bodies and this has compelled the Italians to evacuate the trenches. The Italian losses have not been ascertained. There is sufficient news from Tripoli from various sources to show that the Italians have been suffering far more severely than is shown officially in the reports, though these reports are weU known to have consistently minimized the casualties. But the consorsbip is still close enough to prevent any accurate knowledge of the figures. May Disturb Europe. The Italian government's action in the suppression of casualty lists and the exaggeration of small successes and the postponement of the assembling of parliament simply shows that the government not only fears losing the popular support of the war but of Incurring opposition of a serious nature. News of any serious reverse or the continuance of unsuccessful operations would stir the Socialists to active hostilities and the declaration of strikes. Italy therefore is anxious for peace, but is determined to enforce its efforts. Italy with a view of forcing Turkey to submit took two steps while it is preparing a third. First there was a threatened naval attack in the Aegean sea, which produced • a protest from "| the powers as being against Italy's declaration that the war would be limited to North Africa. May Stir Up Holy War on Italy. The Outlook says it ha3 special news from Egypt that may change the whole course of the war In Tripoli. It states that Enver Bey, whose unquestioned orthodoxy and honor make him almost sacred in the tents of the desert, haA. passed by camel relay through Egypt-- and has met Grand Sheikh of the Senuesi and united" the whole Hinterland in a holy war against the Italian invaders. From uncensored dtewtches from Tripoli reaching England by way of Malta, which, in part- are- confirmed b'y"~";e"nsored dispatches reaching Rome, It is apparent that Italy's campaign in Tripoli already has cost more lives thatn the government anticipated, while the financial outlay will greatly exceed the estimate. The Turks with their Arab ally who at best, it is believed, would only carry on a desultory rgrnpaign^ Q^TeTtflg-a sort of holiday for the invaders, have upset the calculations of the Italians by a series of concerted attacks in which, according to accounts Pent by correspondents without submission to the censor, the Italians have come off second best. Correspondents who have returned to London on account of the severity of the censorship express the opinion that the Italian losses through cholera and other diseases will be extremely severe should the campaign last any time. They say the troops are not suitably clothed for the tropical nights and that not the slightest precaution is taken to prevent them drinking polluted water.

In his speech, which was regarded as having a direct bearing on ' the government's prosecution against the Steel corporation, he denied in vigorous language that the administration is being influenced by political motives.

Last August there visited the Cana* dian west the vice-president of the largest individual hardware company in the United StateB. Aa his firm have a turnover of millions, and deals extensively with farm implements, this man took a deep interest in crop conditions in Canada, and on bis return be embodied his findings in an article for the Hardware Reporter. This article should bo of special interest to farmers. The writer speaks of the importance of the spring wheat crop of Western Canada. He might alao have spoken of the importance of the oat crop and! also of the winter wheat crop, as well as barley. Winter wheat during the past few years has been a great success, and experiments have shown that it can be grown with success in almost any portion of the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. But apart from this, t h e spring wheat crop is the one generally grown, and all who know anything of grain, anyone who has had anything to do with markets, knows or has heard of the high character of this cereal and the splendid yields that are annually produced. Reproducing from this article:— "In a land of such great sweep, and of such difference In soil and climate there are many resources, but none are at present of the same overwhelming importance as the spring wheat crop. In the interminable prairie stretches of the northwest provinces it is the one absorbing topic of interest and of conversation during its growing and its harvesting, for upon its success or failure hangs the weal or woe of a large part of the Dominion. Its influence extends far down into the United States, drawing thousands of farmers northwards with the lure of cheap lands, but likewise beyond the gTeat lakes, even to the easy going maritime provinces, calling the flower of their young men to its opportunities. Development in these prairie provinces goes on at high pressure for everything hangs on the outcome of spring wheat. Success has emboldened the raisers of this one allimportant crop, and each year there is further incursion into those northern fields that only a short time- ago were regarded as Arctic wastes. The Canadian Northwest seems to be one of those modern agricultural examples set forth to drive the final nail in the coffin of that ancient MalthuBian delusion that population tends to outrun the means of subsistence, since the only fear now among Canadian economists is as to the danger of overstocking the wheat market. Only abont two and one-half per cent of possible arable lands in the northwest [Provinces is now under cultivation, **afid~this- year—the crop -promises-to7- be close to 200,000,000 bushels, s o that your imagination and your arithmetic can easily supply the answer as to the possible or even probable outcome." During the months of July and August the weather was unfavourable «Ld the productionjOf_a_20JLmlHion yleidToTwheaT^vIirnot likely be realized, but even with this, the threshing reports coming to hand show that tbe< crop will be a splendidly paying one.

Was there a deeply laid plot back of all these preparations Involving both Willoughby and his sister? What was It Hawley was scheming about so carefully, hpldlnf this boy deserter to one hand,* while he reached out the other after Christie Maclaire? Surely. the nan.was not working blindly; he must have a purpose in view.

It wouldn't have fit better If we had noade it on purpose. If the girl will only play up to the part we won't need any other evidence."

Leaning against the inside of his own door, startled by the rapid sequence of events, Keith was able, from different sounds reaching him, to mentally .picture' most of what occurred in the next room. He heard Bill sink down into the convenient chair, and drink from the bottle, while the gambler apparently advanced to* ward the bed, where he stood looking down on Its unconscious occupant 'The fool la dead drunk," he dedisgustedly. "We can't do anything with him tonight" - "I say—throw bucket water over him,** hiccoughed the other genially, "alien sobers me oft," Hawley made no response, .evidently finding a seat on one end of the wash* stand. "Hardly worth while, Scott," he returned finally* "Perhaps 1 better have some understanding with Christie, anyhow, before I pump the boy any further/ If we can once get her working w f u ns, Willoughby won't have much hand in the play—we shan't ne*d him.

The girl he rescued on the desert—the girl with the pleading b/own eyes, and the soft blur of the South on her lips—was not the music hall singer. He could hardly grasp the truth at first, it antagonised so sharply with all * be had previously believed. Yet if this were true his own duty became clearer than ever; aye, and would be more willingly performed. But what did Hawley know? Did be already realise that the girl he had first met on the stage coach, and later inveigled into the desert, was Hope, and not the music hall artist? He, of course, fully believed her to be Christie Maclaire at that time, but something might have occurred since to change tbat belief. Anyhow, the man waB not now seeking Hope, out the other. Apparently the fatter was either already here In Sheridan or expected soon. And exactly what was it the gambler desired this Maclaire woman to do? This was ttje important matter, and for its solution Keith possessed merely a few hints, a few vague suggestions. She was expected to represent herself as Phyllis—Phyllis who? Some Phyllis surely whose physical resemblance to Hope must be sufficiently marked to be at once noticeable. Willoughby had evidently revealed to Hawley some hidden family secret, having money involved, no doubt, and In which the discovery of this mysterious Phyllis figured. She might, perhaps, be a sister, or half-sister, who had disappeared, and remained ignor- | ant as to any Inheritance. Hopes picture shown by, the boy, and reminding Hawley at once of Christie Maclaire, had been the basis of the whole plot. Exactly what the details of that plot might be Keith could not figure out, but one thing was reasonably certain—it was proposed to 'defraud Hope. And who In the very truth was Hope? it suddenly occurred to bim as a remarkably strange fact that he possessed not the slightest inkling as to the girl's name. Her brother had assumed to be called Willoughby when be enlisted in the army, and his companions continued to call him this. If he could interview the girl now for only five' minutes be should be able probably to straighten out the whole intricate tangle. But where was she? Would-she have remained until this time at Fort Larned with Knle Murphy? There, /was a noise of movement in the hext room. Apparently as Hawley arose carelessly from his edge of the washatand he had dislodged the glass, which fell Bhivering on the floor. Scott Bwore audibly at the loss. "Shut up, Bill," snapped the gambler, irritated, "you've got the bottle left. I'm going; there's nothing for any of us to do now, until after 1 see Christie. You remain here! Do you understand?—remain here. Damn me, If that drunken tool isn't waking up." There was a rattling of the rickety bed, and then the sound of Willoughby's voice, thick from liquor. "Almighty glad to see you, D a r t - am, indeed. Want money—Bill an' l both want money—can't drink without money—can't eat without money— shay, when you goln' stake us?" —"I'll see you again in the morning, Fred," returned the other briefly. "Uo on back to sleep." "Will when 1 git good an* r e a d y - go sleep, stay "wake, Just as I please— don't care damn what^yer do—got new fvien' now." "A new friend? Who?" Hawley spoke with aroused interest "Oh, he's all right—he's mighty floe fellow—come in wlaout In—invitation— galled her Hope—you fool, Bart Hawley, think my sister Christie— Chrtstie—damflno the name—my sister, Hope—don't want yer money— my—my new friend, he'll stake me— he knows my sister—Hope." The gambler grasped tbe speaker, shaking him into some slight semblance of sobriety. "Now, look here, Willoughby, 1 want the truth, and mean to have it/' he insisted. "Has some one been in here while Scott was gone?" "Sure—didn't I just tell yerT— friend o' Hone's." "Who was he? Speak up! 1 want the name!" There was a faint gurgling sound. as though the gambler's vice-like fingers were at the boy's throat; a alight struggle, and then the choked voice gasped out: "Let up! damn yer! He called him* self Jack Keith." " (TO BB CONTINUED.) The chief trouble appears to lie a bond issue amounting with interest to a little ove" $30,000, issued in 1H\)>. .The bonds were defaulted,, and in lD0(j the holders be^an .suit in the United States court. They asked thtu the bonds be made a lieu on the II. M.

This act apportioned the assets and lial:£- ities of the city between the municipality and the township, the latter being virtually the Loud company.

Plumage H E ARMY IS n DEFEATS BY REBELS W I L D RUMORS OF REVER8E8 SPREAD; GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES NO WORD FROM FRONT. • In spite of the efforts of the Audubon society on this side of the Atlantic, and kindred organizations on the other, there is a very decided return to plumage decorations in the latest swell autumn millinery. And when fickle fashion calls, sense and sentiment have to give way, as is shown in this instance. In the picture above is seen one of these latest hats. The feathers are those of the ordinary rooster, shaped and trimmed to a height that is in direct contrast to the broad, low confection of last year. There is apparently no limit to the lofty altitudes tc which these hats may reach. The body of the hat is of broaze brown velvet, with an upturned brim that rises front and rear.

Every Manchu Slaughtered Despite Age or Sex, Rebels Hold the Yangtse Valley. _ The^fficM announcement that telegraphic communication with Hankow had been interrupted, caused consternation throughout the capital. The wildest rumors of reverses to the imperial arms spread like wildfire. Much significance was attached to the fact that the government has refrained from issuing any official announcement of a victory in engagement with the rebels. Government officials continue to profess the utmost optimism. They declare that the severance of telegraphic communication for a period of only 12 to 18 hours over a line 650 miles long is no ground for apprehension. They Insist that the 21,- 000 troops and 70 guns which left Peking for Hankow and most of which are now en route, should be sufficient to swamp any revolutionary attack. Some of the rumors current today, however, hint at disaffection m the army. " ~ Canton Alarmed. . The provincial authorities, alarmed at the revolutionary outbreaks in Wu- Chang and Hankow, are making elaborate preparations to prevent any similar movement in Canton. As an emergency measure, the importation of large quantities of arms and ammunition has been ordered. Every Manchu Was Killed. Six packed steamers arrived in Shanghai from Hankow carrying refugees. The steamer Belgravia "was oc cupied exclustvely by foreign passengers, who were given free accommodations at the direction of the consuls in Hankow. The ship was so crowded that many of the passengers slept on the floors of the hold. The refugees declare that the whole Yangtse valley from Hankow to Shanghai is in the hands of the rebels, with the possible exception of one or two of the larger cities, to which provincial officials have retired with their available troops. It has been insistently stated that Kiu Kiang, 150 miles below Hankow, is under revolutionary control. This is denied, however, by foreign officials and by the representatives of the Chinese customs service. Accounts of the revolutionary attack on Wu Chang as given by the refugees emphasize particularly the massacre of the Manchua in _that city. In the slaughter neither age nor sex was regarded, and it is doubtful, tbe refugee's-&ay+ whether a single representative of the Manchu race was left alive there. Similar slaughter of the Manchua followed in Hankow and Han Yang when those cities fell. Coples_of the Central China Post. "whTcfT arrived on «the Belgravia, describe the early progress of the revolutionary movement. "The revolutionary leaders," the paper says, "displayed secrecy, promptitude and thoroughness— qualities seldom shown by the governing classes In China.

Seed Collection. Every farmer is much Interested in the harvest which is just coming to a close and we hear on every hand discussions of the crops and yields in comparison with other years. However, few realize or have taken notice of the fact that this past season has .been one of the best for the production of forest tree seeds for some time i»St. In BurOpe, tbe forest seed crop is of immense value annually. We Americans have not realised ite value in this country as yet. However, in the next djcade, the crop produced each y e ^ t$long the fence lines and in wood^ota will be looked upon as a substantial source of revenue to its owner. ..Many woodlot owners ~and farmerB* have recently become interested in how they can better their fprest conditions in the woodlot or establish new woodlots. One of the best ways to do is by collecting seeds near at hand, such as, for Instance, acorns and nuts. The black walnut, butternut,- hickory, red and black oak and basswood have all produoed very abundantly this season. The best time to collect is after the first severe frost. The seeds that fall before the first severe frost as a le ate defective and should not be gathered. After the first severe frost they should be gathered and .if squirrels and rodents are not prevalent, plant directly in the area desired. This can be done by filling a knapsack with nuts and going into the woodlot with a spud, pacing along the fence lines, spuding a hole and dropping a nut into it and then covering with the heel. It is wonderfuL how quickly trees planted In this way will develop into good-sized saplings. These should be planted in open places In the woodlot where the grass and briars have come in. A good knapsack is made by t?ldng an ordinary grain sack, cutt'.g down parallel with the sides, H ving two bands about two inches —lde and cutting out a panel about or^-third the length. Tie the ends of the t ack ribbons made In this way and fling over the shoulder. If rodents and squirrels are a source of danger, the nuts should be stored over winter. In the storage of all forest tree seeds, effort should be made to mimic nature. IT nature produces seed8 and plants at once, the forester does the Bame. It nature allows the seedB to fall and covers them over winter with a moist coating of leaves and litter, the forester does the same and the same with those seeds "which, are home high on_ tbe tips of branches and left to the climatis action over winter such as in the case of our sycamore,., ash, honey locust and box elder. All nuts and acorns nature covers over winter. The woodlot owner can collect these seeds, place them in a box sufficient, to crmtain--the-aiaouBtthat he desires to collect. Sink the box in the soil in a well-drained locality, putting in about two Inches of sand In the bottom, then a layer of nuts OT acorns, then another layer of sand, tben nuts and so on until the nuts are taken care of and the box Is full. See to it that five or six inches of good sand is left on the surface. Then place covering of light boards over the top. If there is danger of squirrels and chipmunks, a piece of closely woven wire netting should be staked .over the box large enough to cover an area four or five feet larger than the box itself and this netting should be partially covered with earth. This will protect the nuts from danger of squirrels and gophers, as they\ will not burrow through the wire. In this way, the nuts are kept at an even temperature and even moisture condition and can be planted out tn the woodlot when desired In the spring. Do not try to keep seeds of this class in the dry stat'- over winter, as they will not germimte In the spring to any degree of satisfaction. However, such seeds as sycamore, asb, box elder, black locust, honey locust, etc., should be collected in the fall and hung in a bag on rafters to barns or houses and kept in a dry condition. These can be planted the same as other tree seeds in the spring. Commercial fertilizer a- should be U6ed to supplement the manures made on the farm and the green manure such as clover, vetch, rye, etc. The manures made or grown upon the tarm usually contain small amounts of the plant food elements but are rich in organic matter or humus forming material. These home manures serve to keep the soil In good physical condition, and are absolutely essential to successful farming. Commercial fertilizers are more universally successful when used on land that is kept well supplied with organic matter. This may easily be demonstrated by running the fertilizer drill across a field that has been fertilized with barnyard manure. The path of the drill will usually be conspicuous owing to the increased growth of grain. Very often fertilizers used on land devoid of, or low in organic matter fjjl to give satisfactory returns' and they are consequently condemned as being worthless. In many cases of this kind the fault does not He in the fertilizer but in the condition QI the land. Commercial fertilizers require moisture in the soil to bring them Into solution. Soils deficient in organic matter are not retentive of moisture, consequently the plant food contained in the fertilizer is either not Brought into solution at all or may be leeched but of the soil and be carried away in the drainage water. The idea which many farmers hold In regard to the use of commercial fertilizers that once the practice is commenced they must always be used because their action upon the land is such that after once used nothing can be grown without them Is entirely erroneous. This idea, undoubtedly was originated by those who used commercial fertilizers to the exclusion of all humus forming materials such as barnyard manure and green manure. Commercial fertilizers alone will not restore the fertility of a run-down soil. This can only be done by using materials having a large amount of organic matter. This fact cannot be too strongly emphasized, and it should be repeated over and over. The supply of humus in the soil must be maintained and this can only be done by using materials rich In organic matter, such as barnyard manure or green manures (clover, vetch, cowpeas, rye, etc.). Commercial fertilizers are used to furnish plant food in a more readily available form than it exists In the soil, while the humus-forming fertilizers are used to Improve the physical condition of the soil In Which the plants must live. There are^-Of course,, other - conditions governing the productive capacity of a soil, such as cultivation, drainage, climatic condition, seed selection, etc, but these cannot be discussed at this time.

The selected ears should be placed where they will dry in tbe shortest reasonable time and various methods have been employed for this purpose. There is no better method from the standpoint of efficiency than the old one of braiding the ears together by the husks or tying them in lots by strings and hanging in the summer kitchen or in the attic above, near the stovepipe. This, however, requires considerable room and is not altogether satisfactory to the workers in the kitchen. A furnace room is a good place, providi n g it Is well ventilated and an occasional fire i s built. Frequently the corn is left In crates and while this is usually a successful method, there Is more or less danger from molding; com so stored should be watched care* fully until It is known to be thoroughly dry. Storing.—Many contrivances have been used to hold the ears. Racks on which the ears can be placed to single layers are good if mice and rats can he kept out of the room. Bars suspended in links of binder twtne win keep well and be safe from mice. The soft pith" in the butt of the ears makes it possible for them to be hang on nails which have had the heads ent off after being driven into upright posts. An inverted pan will need to be nailed about tbe bottom of the poet to prevent mice from reaching the MINISTER HELD FOR GRIME. Charged With Having Murdered Girl to Whom He Was Engaged. Rev. Clarence Virgil Thompson Richesson, pastor of the Immsnuel Baptist church of Cambridge, Mass., a handsome Virginian, was arrested on the charge of killing Miss Avis Unnell, a pretty Hyannis girl, to whom he was formerly en eased. It is charged that he threw over Miss Linnell and wanted to get her out of the way BO that he might marry Miss Violet Edmands, a -rich Brookline, Mass., girl. Cards of invitation were out tor his marriage to Miss Edmands. Richeson at police headquarters emphatically protested that a terrible error had been made in his arrest. Fiancee'* Fether Will Defend Rfcheson. 'Mr. Richeson will have as good a defense as money can buy," declared Moses Grant Edmands, millionaire father of Violet Edmands, whom Clarence V. T. Richeson, charged with the murder of Avis Unnell, was to have married 'October 31. Edmands and hia daughter firmly believe in the innocence of Richeson, while the police as firmly believe in his guilt. A cyclonic wind, believed to have reached a velocity of 150 miles an hour, destroyed the aerials at the navy wireless station at Unalaska, Cal. Five men are stationed there, but a s . far as known none was injured. The station recently broke the world's record for daylight wireless transmission by communicating with Mare island, a distance of 2,000 miles.

As many as a half dozen have been struck by lightning in this state alone, and in almost every Instance the structure has been of the faailiar style of architecture that was instituted by our forefathers and has been more or less cherished ever since. Somewhat squarely buiH, with a lofty spire, the New Enflamd meeting house has been a familiar feature to the New England worshiper wherever he might And himself, and though all else was strange, that made him feel that he was In his own country. The lofty spire, however, has proved an element of danger according to our recent experience. In almost every instance, as the reports run, the bolt "struck the steeple" and traveled downward. In rural, communities, especially where the church rises above most of the surrounding buildings and is' crowned by & tapering tqwer as high as the m^in structure, It seems to offer a special challenge to the raging elements, whether they take the form of wind or lightning. The "White church" at West Springfield, which suffered yesterday, had been struck twice previously during Jth*_paat_ ten yearly and in WiU braham, Brookfleld and other places it was upon the spires that the destructive force alighted.—Boston Transcript Single Pojjnd o# Well-Ripened Product Contattje Merit Nutriment Thati Two fPoutt^s of Pork.

The farmer, of all people, is perhaps the least dependent upon his fellow men, and on every fair*sized farm there annually goes to waste several hundred pounds of nectar, unless he has the means of gathering and storing for the use of himself and family. It Is not necessary that the farmer beekeeper become a competitior in the market with the expert bee keeper, and in most instances this would not be desirable or profitable, but the farmer should produce at least enough to supply his own table, if not more. •: GOODRICH A EDUCATION BAD FOR GENIUS COMFORT IN A SHOWER BATH Few Things More Pleasing Than to Stand Under 8prlnkfer Just Before Going to Bed.

Armstrong of the passenger traJn was killed and several of the Odd Fellows were more or leeB mured. Engineer Beatty of the passenger locomotive had a mir* aculous escape from death, sustaining slight injuries to the head ami body. The *rew of the freight engine jumped in time and were uninjured. Frank E. Phelps, a member of Diamond lodge, is perhaps in the worst condition. His spine was injured and his condition is regarded as serious. John Dunlop sustained a bad Rcalp wound and 1B conftned to his bed, Several others received bruises and cuts, but none were seriously enough injured to be sent to a hospital. Fireman Scalded to Death, The fireman met a horrible death, being crushed between the engine and the tender and then scalded to death by escaping steam. He lived for about an hour and was extricated from the wrek by the Odd Fellows, who piled i'rom the coaches after the collision and went to work to rescue the fireman and the engineer. Armstrong lived but a ehorf* time after he had been taken from the wreck, but was unconscious all the time. Beatty, the engineer, < was found cooped up in the engine cab and had to crawl through a narrow hole to get out. The special left Saginaw at 1 o'clock, after the degree teams of the two Detroit lodges had performed the ritual work for the grand lodge. The train consisted of two coaches, a baggage car and the locomotive and coal tender. The Odd Follows were amusing themselves and keeping awake by playing poker and singing. Several were wandering up and down the aisles of the cars playing jokes on each other. Suddenly there was a crash and a _Phack_ wWch -tbreuLjhose walking in the aisles to the floor and badly shook up passengers in seats. Fifty-one Deaths in Copper Mines.

More deaths occurred in the Calumet & Hecla than in any other mine, probably not due to lack of precaution in the Calumet & Hecla, or by more dangerous chances taken by men, but because more men are employed by this company than by any other.

An attempt was made eo wreck President Taft'a train on the Southern Pacific aj, a big trestle near Santa Barbara, California, and that it failed was due to the watchfulness of railroad men. Thirty sticks of dynamite and a ten-foot fuse placed on the track is in tbe possession of Southern Pacific officials. The railroad watchman at El Capitan bridge, a structure about 700 feet long across the gorge near Ga viota station, 10 miles north of Santa Barbara, saw two men walk down the track about 2 o'clock this morning and stop near the middle of the big bridge.

When a young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to it, when five years ago a small spot showed upon my left, ankle. I was worried and sent for a doctor. He said it was eczema. He drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of a match and about an inch long. The small hole grew4 to about the size of an apple, and the ecsema spread to the knee. The doe* tors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole toot ran water all the time.

In some distant apartment a fellow was struggling to draw off his tight boots, skipping about on one foot amid much profanity. That the boot conquered was evident when the man crawled Into the creaking bed, announcing defiantly, 'if the landlord wants them boots off, let him come an' pull 'em off." Across the hall was a rattle of chips, and the voices of several men, occasionally raised in anger. Now and then they would stamp on the floor as an order for liquid refreshments from below. Prom somewhere beyond, the long-drawn melancholy howl of a distressed dog greeted the rising moon.

Miss Hope—more widely known as Christie- Maclalre—had claimed this drunken lad as her brother, but. according to Hawley, he had vehemently denied any such relationship. Yet there must be some previous association between the two, and what this was the plainsman proposed to discover. The problem was how best to cause the fellow to talk frankly—could he be reached more easily by reference to the girl or the gambler? Keith studying the sullen, obstinate face confronting him, with Instinctive'antagonism over bis intrusion, swiftly determined on the girl. "It was not very nice of me to come In on yon this way," he began, apologetically, "but you see I happened to know your sister." "My sister? Oh, I guess not!" "Yes. but I do," throwing a confidence into his tone he was far trom feeling, "Miss Hope and 1 are friends." The boy sprang to bis feet, his face flushed. "Oh. you mean Hope? Do you know her?

[9 it not strange that intelligent people will sit for a whole hour and breath tbe poison from eacb others lun.s in a church, while it they were to go to any other place of entertainment they would soon notice and complain ol tbe lack of proper ventilation? People will risk their lives almost in order to breath fresh air at night, but will kit in a foul atmojpbere and take, into their systems poison in immense quantities and then wonder why they always have a headache when they no to cbarcb. Daring the summer months tbe danger is not sc great, but now tb*i tbe winter season is upon us and ib weather outside is not so agreeable a greater degree of caution is necessary, but at tbe same time tbe necessity for tresb air is all tbe greater, because ot tbe addition of the furnace beat to tbe other impurities of tbe close atmos* pheve, and it behooves us to look after tLis matter and use more intelligence in ventilating the churches as well as other public buildings where people congregate. A r e t h e p e o p l e w h o a t t e n d t h e a t e r s any m o r e Intelligent than t h o s e w h o a t t e n d t h e c h u r c h e s ? We should not like to thick so, yet tbe people who attend theaters would soon raise a clamor if compelled to sit m such an atmosphere as usually pievails in most of tbe churches. We firmly believe that more people would attend church If they were not compelled to always go borne witb a dull headache and realize tbat it is so very unnecessary. If tbe janitor does, not know or care bow tbe cbnrcb is ventilated, an educated minister should and it would be an easy matter lor him to look after such an item and yet by go doing be might accomplish more good than by working himself into a fever m trying to convince people ot a great many things they already know. Windows should be opened from tbe top and by using some care and judgement that no one is compelled to sit in a draft, a multitude ot ills may be avoided and tbe people be more wide awake and bappy in the knowledge tbat some care was being taken to make tbe cburcb going safe and pleasant.

As our boys were scheduled to play ball there, Pinckney and vicinity was well represented. The ball tournament opened with Pinckney and Stockbridge up for the first game? the winner to play the winner of the Howell- Fowlerville game for the first prize. Pinckney has been quite anxious to meetStockbridge either at home or on neutral grounds and have endeavored to get a game /with Stockbridge several times this season at Pinckney but without success, and as Pinckney won a decisive victory, defeating Stockbridge to the tune of 4 to 0, letting their opponents down with only 2 safe hits, the boys came home somewhat reconciled to tbe^OSSnf thfl final gamft Fowlerville which resulted m a score of 3 to 2 in the latters favor. Myron Dunning fairly won the honors of both games, both in the field and at bat, making several sensational catches, and throws that would have shown up in faster company. The- management of the Detroit American League team sent Joe Sugden, the famous coach and scout to Fowlerville to iuspect pitcher Ren wick, but he was not favorable impressed. However he asked Myron Dunning to pitch a few balls for his benefit and after the game made Dunning and Harold Swarthout flattering offers to engage in professional base ball. The boys are undecided whether they will avail themselves of this opportunity or not at present.

There are easier things to da Such "stunts" as mirror-gazing at the silrery hour of midnight, as following a thread through a dark cellar, or polling k&lestocks; none of them could be called child's play. Something had to be planned that was different, something entertaining and "Hallowe'eny." The invitations, which were sent out a week in advance, read as follows: "Won't you come to my Hallowe'en party, from six to nine, October 31? Please wear play clothes. "SYLVIA HALL." In the corner of each card was a tiny water-color sketch—a witch riding a broom, a blinking owl, or a broad winged bat. Every response was an acceptance, andf straightway preparations for the party began From a farm house we drove home one ~day~wTEh a load of cornstalks, pumpkins, and carrots. Everybody in the house who could use a jack-knife was pressed into service. Big pumpkins and little were transformed Into lanterns, with faces upon which black or white paint had sketched queer eyebrows or fierce mustachios. They were distributed about the house; tucked among russet oak leaves and green pine boughs on each mantel, set lantern fashion on a newel post in the hall, or hung here and there from overhead grilles. Cornstalks were stacked beside a fireplace at a safe distance from the fire, and the house was lit dimly by pumpkin-beadg or candles set in hollowed carrots. ^ The dining table was set with a group or carrot candlesticks and bowlfuls of apples, nuts, grapes and candy. Upon a fat pumpkin wa3 perched a Hallowe'en witch, holding a handful of raffia, which came from the mouth of a grab-bag. In her black sown, peaked hat, and flying red cloak, with a veritable broomstick in her hand, she was the star of indoors. On the lawn, ready to offer a welcome to every guest who arrived, was a greater star, a life-size witch, with a pair of winkling red eyes which could be seen two blocks distant. Her framework wag arough wooden-cross^w4tb one end hewn to a sharp stake which was driven into the ground. Pillows were tied about her lath-like form for shapeliness, while her garb was a nightgown. The pumpkin head was of noble proportions, the hair was a bunch of black raffla, and over it perched a lordly hat with a peak nearly a yard high, wldu brlm7^gnd~arTCTl5p~ scarf of orange colored paper tied in a magnificent bow at one side. The head was nailed securely to the framework, and inside the candles flared lng blind man's buff began to shriek with laughter which grew to genuine hilarity when the sixteenth girl chased the sixteenth boy into a corner. There was a hungry rush for the dining-room and parlor, where eight small tables were set, four children being seated at each. The supper was a simple one, consisting of tongue and chicken sandwiches, with stuffed potatoes, baked apples with whipped cream, gingerbread men, chocolate nuts and grapes. When the evening's fun began, a jolly young aunt was appointed referee and recorder in the various games. The first part of the program was held in the kitchen while tables were being cleared and dishes carried to the butler's pantry. There was, of course, a tub filled with lukewarm water (it was too chilly a night for a cold plunge), and in It floated a Bcore of rosy apples. Bobbing for boys chose partners and were vacged in two lines'from the dining room to the parlor. At the end of each line was a table; one held a big basket of peanuts, beside the other stood the umpire, with her pencil and paper. On It was a wooden bowl and two plates. When the umpire called a girl's name she and her partner walked down the center to the farther table. Covering the back of their hands with all the peanuts they could hold, they carried them to the other table, where they were counted. It sounds like an easy task, but the winner had only seven or eight peanuts to his credit. When the children began to giggle, when hands grew shaky, or a walk quickened into a run, the peanuts were tumbling everywhere to the delight of the on* lookers. There was a game of bean bags, then a spirited soap bubble contest For this partners were drawn again and a ribbon stretched from end to EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH? . ; * • * * « They Art •• Good <pr ths fetfJj r .

Upstairs they came again presently with half a bushel of hot, snowy white kernels. Then with bowlfuls of popcorn and peanuts they made a circle about the jolly aunt, who announced that the last half hour was to be devoted to something very weird and "Hallowe'eny." ' She sat before a low table chanting softly, while into a saucer she tossed a tablespoonful of salt and poured alcohol upon it from a silver flagon. When she touched it with a. match it blazed up in a blue uncanny flame. Then she began in a slow, deep voice: "Little Orphant Annie's come-to our house to stay!" She had scarcely reached the last verse when the saucer lamp flared strangely and went out. The reader lit It again, with her salt and alcohol, and recited: "AH-around the house In the jet black night, It stares through the window pane," But the light went out as she whispered slowly: "All the wicked, shadows coming, tramp, tramp, tramp!" There followed Eugene Field's ghostly "Seein' Things," with Its "scary** refrain.

PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS "I was troubled with acne for three long years. My face was the only partaffected, but It caused great disfigurement, also suffering and loss of sleep. At first there appeared red, hard pimples which later contained white matter. I suffered a great deal.caused by the itching. I was in a state of perplexity when walking the streets or anywhere before the public. "I used pills and other remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet which I read carefully. Then I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and by following the directions I was relieved in a few days. I used Cuticura Soap for washing my face, and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. This treatment brought marvelous results so I continued with it for a few weeks and was cured completely. I can truthfully say that tho Cuticura Remedies are not only all, but more than they claim to be." (Signed) G. Baumel, 1015 W. 20th.Place, Chicago, III., May 28, 191.1.

The first consideration must always be to make the farm pay, hut fields and stock will yield none the less profit if the farm possesses features of beauty. Some places have natural beauty in streams and trees such as is shown In the picture of the College lane bridge; every place can be made pleasingly attractive by trees, lawns,, wellkept fences and neat painted buildings. The far-reaching ^fTsets of the appearance of farm surroundings may bo appreciated when ii is remembered that these things appeal to a part of man's nature and make up, which Is deeper and more Important than his instinct of poroe«sitta and his ability to make money. It ts the- barren mono tony of unattractive farm homes that has made many a boy become restless and look forward to the time when he could leave it all and find things more to bis taste In city surroundings. Farniers themselves who are not thoughtful of "the tooks ol things" will soon find that ttrey are losing Interest and respect for the business they ought continually to learn more to love. Business and life affairs are so curiously knit and interwoven that the pride and care taken in one thing will show its effect in all things. It Is an observable fact that the farms on which most attention is given to neatness and beauty, there also is found the greatest profit In business. The things we remember longest about our old farm homes are not how much the fat porkers weighed or how many bushels or tons, per acre were ours on a certain field, although that was of first importance at the Ume71v"eremember mostly the spring with climbiug vines and UmbB, the elms and maples, the evergreens in the corner of the house yard,* the red barns where we kept the silky-coated Jerseys and the old house with all its comforts and conveniences. To live the farm life ideal la to know the beauty of open fields and sky ami trees; to appreciate the sacred blessing of home ties and neighbors' friendships. Nowhere is there more excellent opportunity to know the really great things of life than la the open country. If it is not forgotten that "making a life" com**? first an* is the very purpose of making a living. Gaby Olttiys, Actress, Credited With Portuguese Monarch's Overthrow, Now Here. New York,—Gaby Deslys, who Is credited by common report with having overthrown the kingdom of Portu* gal by infatuating King Manuel and enticing from him what was left in the royal treasury, Is now here to fill professional engagements. She says she is to receive ¢18,000 a week and it is probable that some of the $18,000 will be real money. She brought a bewildering array of clothes and jewels and also her reputation as a monarchy destroyer. The wonder is that this talented actress has not come over sooner. Why .this strange delay? A lady with a redolent past and the destroyer of monarchy, she certainly had a right to expect sympathy and appreciation in republican America from the first. The only reason imaginable for her delay In coming to the country to which foreign artists hasten to make their money as a rule is that she is so modest she did not realize the extent of her exploit. No doubt she said to herself that Manuel was such a little Backache Dyiig KiQtys A Remarkable Treatment That Saves the Kidneys. How You May Cure Yourself Quickly # and Thoroughly. With the progress of science comes one remarkable treatment for kidney diseajjea. It has been HO thoroughly tested and Its results have proven so revolutionary that a well-known firm in Michigan has undertaken Its distribution Into every part of the country. Those who suffer from kidney trouble and the diseases resulting from It will be pleased to know that every package of this treatment is thoroughly guaranteed. This should assure at laut a positive cure te) every suffeYer. Every man and woman should know that backache la usually a well-denned symptom of advancing kidney disease which may end fatally unless treated In time; that rheumatism and bladder trouble are caused from nothing more nor less than kidneys that do not filter the poison from the blood; that dropsy, Brlghfs disease, diabetes and bladderstones are caused by bad kidneys. Once they are made to work properly, these diseases should quickly disappear. This is done by the new treatment, Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills. We urge everyone who has pain In the small of the back, profuse or scanty urination, pains- in the bladder, cloudy or foul urine, not to fall to get a package today of Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills, and drop all other kidney treatments. Senator Stevenson of Washington writes from Olympla: "There is no question about the efficacy of Dr. Derby's Pure Kidney Pills in curing kidney and bladder trouble. I know whereof I spoakv" Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are now sold at all drug stores—25 and 50 cents. If you would like to try thern first, ask your druggist for a free sample package.

Infant mortality, the spread of typhoid fever and the possibility of contracting tuberpuVoBts from milk have brought the attention of boards of health and the public in general to the conditions under which milk aid cream are produced. If the following points are observed the products of the dairy will be wholesome and healthful: 1. Healthy cows—made certain by the herd betng subjected to the, tuberculin test 2. Clean stables, elean yards, clean water supply for the animals. 3. Clean cows, made so by frequent brushing, especially about flanks and udder before milking, 4. A milker with clean clothes and clean hands. 6. All utensils in which milk is*to be placed should be scalded before using. 6. Do not leave milk uncovered in the barn and remove it to a special dairy house as soon as possible. The points to be considered in producing good cream are as follows: 1. The cream separator should be thoroughly washed and scalded. 2. The eream should be cooled at once. 8. Never mix warm and cold milk. 4. Keep cream in cool well ventilated room free from bad odors, 5. Stir the cream frequently to pre* vent lumps. / 6. Deliver the cream to the factory three times per week in the summer and twice in the winter. * ' It coste more to produce a clean high-grade dairy arttele, but customers are willing to pay more and there-will always b e a demand for pure wholesome dairy products at Wgh prices.

She did -hef-betat with the material at hand. Of course, her reception would naturally be a little warmer and her receipts a little larger if she had managed to bring down larger game from the European rtfpal preserves.

OAVJ^ILY, Pub. PINCJC^EY, - - - ATHMHO^; |l" ' ' 1 4--JUJ SOIL CONSERVATION. In the last decade covered by senpus reports the average acre devoted to wbiKjst in the^United States produced 13.5 bushels a year. Austria, In the game period, produced 17 bushels per acre, France, 19.8. Germany.27.6 and tbe United Kingdom 32.2. In the eame decade our average yield of oats was less than 30 bushels per acre, while Great Britain's was 42 and Germany's 46. For barley the figures are 25 bushels per acre, as compared with 33 for Germany and 34.6 for Great Britain. Comparisons similarly unfavorable to our agricultural progress might be presented at wearisome length, say+j the Obio State Jourual. Nearly all show that our boasted soil is giving poorer resultB than the bardworked farm lands of European countries, It Is not the soil's fault. It Is because we have neglected the con servation of our soil, Just as we have neglected the conservation of our forests and our other natural resources. "We have been forever taking something out and putting, nothing back. As James J. Hilk who is heart and soul for better farming because he wishes ht3 great granger railroad interests to pay better, says our agri: culture Is in'the condition of a bank •whoee-depositors-ar©-steadily drawing out more than they put in. TIDAL W A V E CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKE SWEEPS SOUTHERN MEXJQAN COAST. W H O L E T O W N 8 SWEPT OFF T H E E A R T H . A dispatch from Carlsbad to tbe New York World states that American women, as usual, are the queens of fashion at that famous watering place, and proceeds to name a number who are particularly noted for their stylish dresses. The West figures in the list quite as conspicuously as the East. The dispatch states that Carlsbad has been very gay this season and more crowded than it has beeu in 40 years. Back In 1878 the place was packed to overflowing by 14,000 visitors. Already this season the number of arrivals has exceeded 70,000. Of course accommodations are Increased year by year, but they do not keep pace with the rush. From these statistics there is an opportunity to measure the extent to which the wealth of Germany as well as the habit of foroign travel among Americans has grown.

Buried under thousands of tons of water cast up by a terrific earthquake iu the Gulf of California, the towns of San Jose de Guayamas, Emnalmo and Arti/., on the eastern shore ol' the gulf, were destroyed on the early morning of October 4, and the cities of Guayamas, Altata and Topolobampo were terribly damaged by the same wave, which lost some of its force by the time it reached them. Hurricane Rages Five Days. Owing to the fact that the hurricane succeeding the tidal wave lasted five days, cutting off every means of communication with the outside world, no definite news of the terrible disaster came out until word was received from the governor of Harmosillo. the capital of Senora, calling for provisions, tents, clothing, etc., for the stricken, survivors. His message-states that from 300 to 500 people lost their lives either in the tidal wave or in the hurricane', and that it is impossible to estimate the damage done to property along the coast. The earthquake occurred before daylight and almost before the inhabitants of the coast towns had time to become alarmed at the earth tremors, a huge wall of water, 20 feet high, swept in from the gulf, carrying everything before It. Survivors Tell Sad Tales. Ships and houses were Bwept far inland and deposited, half a mile or more on the sand dunes of the interior. The survivors, many of whom are suffering from broken arms or legs, tell heartrending tales of the scene when the huge waves struck the sleeping towns and men and women were drowned in thtir beds, or crushed beneath the fallen wreckage- Farm Product Prices Compared With 1910.

CHAPTER XVI—(Continued.) It wap a grim picture of depravity and desolation, the environment dull, gloomy, forlorn; all that was worthy the eye Qr thought being the pulsing human element. AH about extended the barren plains, except where on one.side a ravine cut through an overhangltrg ridge. From the seething street one could look up to the summ i t and see there the graves of. the many who had died deaths of violence, and been borne thither in "their boots." Amid all this surrounding desolation was Sheridan—the child of a few brief months of existence, and destined to perish almost as quickly— the center of tbe grim picture, a mere cluster of rude, un pa in ted houses, poorly erected shacks, grimy tentB flapping in the never ceasing wind -swirling across the treeless waste, the ugly red station, the rough cowpena - filled with lowing cattle, the huge, ungainly stores, their false fronts decorated by amateur wielders of tbe paint brush, and the garish dens of —vlee-tacked-ln-everywhere. The pendulum of life never ceased swinging, slety was mixed; no man cared who was, or dared to "question.

A few smaller tables at the back of the room were distinguished from the others by white coverings in place ef oilcloth, evidently reserved for the more distinguished guests. Disdaining ceremony* tbe new comer wormed his way through, finally discovering a vacant seat where his back would be to the wall* thus enabling him to survey the entire apartment It was not of great interest, save for its constant change and the primitive manner in which the majority attacked their food supply, which was piled helter-skelter upon the long tables, yet he ran his eyes searchlngly over the numerous faces, seeking impartially for either friend or enemy. No countenance present, as revealed in the dim light of the few swinging lamps, appeared familiar, and satisfied that he remained unknown, Keith began devoting his attention to the dishes before him*::mcntally -express^ ing his opinion as to thefr attractiveness. Chancing finally to again lift his eyes, he met the gaze of a man sitting directly opposite, a man who somehow did not seem exactly in harmony with his surroundings. He was short and stockily built, with round rosy face, and a perfect shock of wiry Hair brushed back from a broad fore- Puzzled at the unexpected recognition, yet realizing the friendliness of the man, Keith grasped tbe pudgy fingers extended with some cordiality. "Don't remember me I s'pose—don't think you ever saw jne—delirious when I came — hate to tell you what you was talking about—gave you hypodermic first thing—behaved well enough though when I dug out the lead—Minie bullet badly blunted bitting the rib—thought you might die with blood poison—couldn't stay to see—to damn much %o do—evidently didn't though—remember me now?" "No, only from what you say. You must have been at General Waite's headquarters." "That's it—charge of Stonewall's field hospital—Just happened to ride Into Waite's camp that night—damn lucky for you I did—young snip there wanted to saw the bone—1 stopped that—liked your face—imagined you might be worth saving—ain't so sure of -it- now, or you-wouldn't be o*ut -in this God forsaken country, eating such grub—ray name's Fairbaln—Joseph Wright Fairbain, M.

The town was an eddy catching odd bits of driftwood sue]) as only the frontier ever~k*ew. Queer characters were everywhere, wrecks of dissipation, derelicts of the East, seeking nothing gave oblivion. « Everything was primitive—passion and pleasure ruled. To spend easily made money noisily, brazenly, was the ideal. From dawn to dawn the search after Joy continued. The bagnios and dance halls were ablaae; the barroom* crowded with hilarious or quarrelsome humanity, the gambling tables alive frith excitement Men swaggered along the streets looking for trouble, and generally finding it; cowboys rode Info open saloon doors and drank in the saddle; troops of congenial spirits, frenzied with liquor, a ^ m ^ d recJcJewlr through the street firing into the air, or the crowd* as t h ^ w l t o led ribands played popular rap<f innumerable ,r. m± ••i- V.: '**& • • « < # it wai a seturnaHa of vioe, a babel of sound, a glimpse of tha bv fernOi Money flowed Wee waterr every man was hit own law, and the tun the arbiter ot' destiny.

"But do you know it was General Waite?" the man's insistent tone full of doubt "I have no question about it," returned Keith, conclusively. "The man was Waite's size and general appearance, with gray beard, similar to the one I remember he wore during the war. He had been scalped, and his face beaten beyond recognition, but papers in his pockets were sufficient to prove his identity. Besides, he and bis companion—a young fellow named Sibley—were known to have pulled out two days before from Car6on City." / "When was this?" "Ten days ago." Fatrbain's lips smiled, the ruddy coloring sweeping back into bis cheeks. "Damn me, Keith, you came near giving me a shock," he said, Jerkily. .lS_houldn,t..lJe--»o- careless—not B u r o J j ^ ^ t ^ ' Q ^ ^ ^ ^ ; : ^ ^ ^ ^ " ^ ^ my heart's just right—tendency to - apoplexy, too—got to be guarded against.

But the honesty of the rugged face only added to his perplexity. "Are you certain your are not mistaken?" "Of course I am, Keith. I've known Waite for fifteen years a bit intimately— have met him frequently since the war—and I certainly talked with him. He told me enough to partially confirm your story. He said he had started for Santa Fe light, because be couldn't get enough men to run a caravanafraid of Indians, you know. So, he determined to take money—buy Mextcan goods—and risk himself.

He got to Carson City with two wagons, a driver and a cook—had eight thousand dollars with bim, too, the damn fool. Cook got into row, gambling, cut a man, and was Jugged. Old Waite wouldn't leave even a nigger in that sort of fix—natural fighter—likes any kind of row. So, he hung on there at Carson, but had sense enough—Lord knowa where he got it—to put ail but a few hundred dollars In Ben Levy's safe. Then, he went out one night to play poker with his driver and a friend—had a drink or two— doped, probably, and never woke up for forty-eight hours—lost clothes, money, papers, and whole outfit—was Just naturally cleaned out—couldn't get a trace worth following' after.

C—The first Protestant settlement in America was made on the shores of South Carolina, not far from the present town of Port Royal, and by the Huguenots. This colony came out under the leadership of Jean Ribaut in the spring of 1562. This settlement of South Carolina by a Protestant colony antedates that of the English settlement of Virginia by 45 years, and was 58 years before the arrival of the pilgrim fathers at Plymouth. Mass. But this settlement at Port Royal did not have the success that was hoped for it, and had to be abandoned—not before seed had been planted, however, that bears its fruit tq, this day. On landing, one of the first things the Huguenots did was to unite in a service of thanksgiving to God for their safe arrival. They erected a monument to commemorate the occasion. To quote from the Rev. Dr. Vedder, "The stone pillar of John Ribaut was the corner stone of the temple of Protestantism in the Western hemisphere." It was not vintil after the edict of VNKJNO/l^fc: tWft immigration of Huguenots to South Carolina took place. Four prominent settlements were made—one on the Santee river, one on the Cooper river, one c*it St. Johns, Berkely, and the other in the city of Charleston. One of the ttrst steps taken by each of these colonies was toward The establishment of a church wherein they might worship according to their faith. The Huguenots of Charleston make two distinct claims outside that of having the only Huguenot church in The Worst. Re—1 shouldn't marry unless woman was my exact opposite.

One is that theirs is the first church organization established In South Carolina; and the other that they were the first to carry the gospel to the state outside the city of Charleston. - The first-Huguenot church-orgarrhEav tlon was about 1681-2. In the cemetery surrounding it lies entombed the dust of many who have slept there for more than two centuries, the pioneers of the church. On the tombs are engraved names that have become historic in the annals of South Carolina. The present building was erected In 1845. It is stone, in Gothic style, with ornamental masonry extending In pointed columns above the roof. It suffered greatly, as did all of the churches of Charleston, from the terrible earthquake of 1886. The first church building was burned in 1740. The congregation took steps to erect another, which Bhared the same fate; and still. another, which was also burned. The present building stands today unique in history, the only Huguenot church in America. Barnes Storme—Ah! me boy, but w» had the run of our life in Oskalooea.

Physicians have examined the three men and declare they are In as sound physical trim as can be three sixfooters who have remained in bed such a length of time. The men are sons of John Bennett a farmer. The mother is a robust woman, intelligent in appearance, about sixty years old. The sons are George, thirty-two years old; Ward, twenty-nine, and Frank, twenty-seven years. They are under the impree* eion that the slightest shock will result in sudden death, George has been in bed for eight years, Ward ten years and Frank six years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Bennett insist the men are awful sufferers.

Will Save $3.50 on Every Ton of Coal Used Whereas the ordinary Base Burner uses oniy one half tfie heating power of hard coal when it allows the gases to escape, the searchlight utilizes all the ingredients, thus saving $3.50 on every ton of coal. Will Hold Fire Seven Days and Seven Nights This; mind you, with one filling^ Will Heat Floor Five Foot From Stove Not necessary to put your feet up-on the stove to warm them. With^ "SearclilTgnTTOeexpoBed fire pot radiates the heat to the FLOOR for a Bpace of 5 and 6 feet around stove. Will Circulate Heat into 5 or 6 Rooms And they will all be just as comfortable to sit in as the room in which the Searchlight is placed. Not One Degree Variation in Temperature Set the Searohlight Oombustion Damper when you go to bed at night, and when you get up in the moruing not one degree of variation in temperature will be noticed, even though the thermometer registers 10 degrees below zero.

The Pinal Game With Stockbrldfte. We motorel out to Fowlerville, To see the county fair Aud Stockbridge canje, a sturdy bunch, With grim determined air. Theysaid the game would be A. cinch, " They had It a)i sewed up, But well we knew there's many a slip, Betwixt the lip and cup. The afternoon sped swiftly on, Tbe time to play drew nigh, The Piuckney boys looked meefcly 'round Aud each one heaved a Btgh. Two-thirly came alas! too soon, Pete Conuere said play ball, Then on the crowd assembled there A mighty hush did fail. Young lefty Dodge assumed tbe mound With a fierce look of hate, Doc Roche spat deftly on his palms . . And stepped up to the plate. Young Dodge rght swiftly flung the ball, Doc Strang his bat and then, The ball fell lightly in Bert's hands, But hopped right out again. I wish you could have heard tbe groan, The Stockbridge crowd sent up. I wish yon could have Been their tears, J-ttmrirtfaey'd fill anccp".

It only derdena th e fire, causing a cold house in the morning. The fire in the Searchlight is regulated entirely by the Oombustion Damps: No Fine Dust or Ashes There are no poke holes iu the Searohlight. Everything is air tight. The fine ash is carried up a dust fine and not on to your furniture. No CIMers_or Unburnt Coal — 6¾ r.< The Searchlight burns the coal to a fine ash, as fine as powder.

Then Ade picked up a nifty bat, And sauntered vo the plate, He took three healthy, hearty swings, Alas! they were too late. Then Michael swung his bat in air And to the plate di^etalk Dodge took one look at Ins gray hair And let the old chap walk. This walking stunt brought Dunning up His chin urotrudios out, And when Dodge sped the ball again He fetched it one fine clout, Doc swiftly ambled round the path Tu where he cashed his run, And though they threw out Mike at third I tell you it was fun.
