Some changes were made in the soldiers' tax exemption law which are explained in a letter from Henry £. Chase, of Lansing tfie deputy attorney general, as follows: Act 174 of the public acts of 1911 exempts from taxtation real estate to the value of $1000, used and owned as a homestead by any soldier or sailor of the federal government who served three months or more during the Civil or Mexican war, or such real estate owned by any wife or widow of such soldier or sailor. Where the homestead excedes $1000 in in value, it is exempt only to the amount of $1000. The statue provides that in order to secure such exemption, the requisite affidavit must be filed with the assessing officer. The act also contains a provision to the effect that the exemption shall not operate to release from the payment of taxes any of the persons therein mentioned who are the owners of taxable property of greater value than $3000. Assessments for the present year are of course, made under the old act, as the act of 1911 could not apply to assessment made before 1912. It has been ruled that the exemption applies to a homestead held by a husband and wife on a joint deed.

Primeval forests and pathless tundras revealed but reluctantly their long hidden secrets. Nevertheless, some forty years ago, Russian miners, ever Intrepid in their eastward quest of the precious metal, had reached the auriferous drifts In t h e valley of t h e mighty Amur that rolls from the heart of China grandly down to the lonely Okhotsk sea. After the wonderful Klondike excitement of gold deposits throughout Siberia's over-responding latitudes of similar geological formations lent additional strength to the old tradition that t h e gold-bearing zone extended from Northwestern America to Northwestern Asia and that consequently the further shores of tiering Sea were well- worth prospecting. The first-_shory±ved and barbaric, but, oh! so glorious splendors of Dawson and Nome had begun to pale, when a persistent and seemingly well-authenticated rumor of valuable nuggets having been found along the shores of Northeastern Kamchatka, fanned our smouldering Imagination into brightest flames. there's a race of men that don't lit in; they are alwniya tired of things that be; they want the strange and the new and they don't know how to rest. My dear old "pard," Austin, and I belong to this legion of forelopers, never enlisted and never discharged. The fond hope that we were going to be numbered amongst the original "Forty- Nlriers" of a new California over yonder, " 'crost the bay," lured us from the Yukon even to Siberia— to Vladivostok. There wo were joined by a kindred spirit, a young Russian mining engineer, Ivan Ivanovitch— soon enough he became plain Jack—fresh from an American college and ready for adventure. Kamchatka, dependency of the maritime province and administrative district ot Petronavlovsk, has been a Russian colony for over 200 years. From Cape Lopatka, the large peninsula's southmost point, lofty mountains, overtopped by many active and more extinct volcanoes, stretch northward far into the Arctic waste. On the northeast coast, there where the moun- -tain chain recedea-QvexJthlrty mUeAJtom-the-low. ^£^^£^ "7XJ* JfO&TffM&ll Mi(/ttTc5 mediately before us are seen the snowdiademed mountain monarchs, robed in majestically flowing folds of glacial ermine— far behind the heaving billows of the ocean, aglitter in the evening sun—while all around is Siberia's virgin forest, the taiga, silent, untrodden, mysterious. Owing to widely divergent conditions Siberia's fauna is not uniformly distributed, but within their chosen haunts animals are abundant. Of big game w e have on the Pankara the agile,1 keen-eyed mountain sheep and ...the""powerful brown bear, Rocky mountain sheep are here replaced by congeners of slighter build, more slender horns and pure white color- Their bands. Makes Good 42"CAGO spend most of the time above timber, remaining even during the severe Kamchatka winter amongst the heights whose irregularities of cliffs and gorges afford opportunity for shelter and exposed food supply. Sometimes when w e had nearly stalked them the warning whistle of the watchful marmot would drive them to headlong flight ThPir tlpsh is very palatahle^ when littoral, the Pankara enters the sea, opposite to the large island of Karaginsk. A gloomily beautiful thundercloud overshadowed the densly wooded shores when w e landed at Ola, the little Koryak hamlet near the Pankara's mouth. In the course of a few hours our steamer, "Primorsk," had discharged our earthly possessions and the cargo consigned to the local agent of the Russian Chartered Company, who holds the furring privileges of Northeastern Siberia. ' Open-mouthed natives gaped curiously and a thousand hostile-looking dogs snarled viciously. The Natchalnik, however, having minutely scrutinized our papers, received us with open arms, and Father Juvenal, the Pope, offered us the hospitality of his log cabin. We learned many interesting facts about this out-of-the-way neck of the woods that night. The peninsula's mongoloid aborigines, the rapidly decreasing Kamchadales proper—mostly fishermen—dwell around the water courses to the southward. Their northern n e i g h b o r , our friends, the "dog Koryaks," mighty hunters and trappers, 11*79 in log cabins, dug-outs or skin tents, They belong largely to the orthodox church—at least nominally— are good natured and hospitable, but their notions of cleanliness are more than questionable. The occasional sight of our toothbrushes once caused a ric\t of an amazed mob. Both the women and the aln-.ost beardless men alike, braid their hair Into t v o plaits, smoke the cheap Moharka tobacco, intermixed with birch bark, and wear nearly identical dresses of pelts or—in Bummer— gaudy calico. Further on and up to Kamchatka's border, the strictly nomadic "reindeer Koryaks," addicted to weird shamanism, pitch their yourtes wherever good feeding grounds attract their herds. Beyond their territory we find, in the interior, Tunguse tribes, along the seaboard the unconquered race of the Tchuktches, that stoutly refuse the Yassak t o this day. The Pankara h a s a length of about 90 miles. The advanced season and a preliminary examination of accessible rock formation, combined with encouraging reports of white and native residents, prompted u s to prospect the upper valley without delay. The Natchalnik placed the only three pack horses a t omr disposal, rather shaggy, but hardy Irkutsk ponies, able t o shift for themselves even In winter. As guide and helper w e engaged the Koryak, Peter, nicknamed Petrushka-Parsley— from his fondness for this wild p l a n t Petrushka of course was speedily pared down to Pete, a s Ivan has surrendered to Jack long ago. The village of Ola Is happy. A s w e e t fragrance of fish and blubber permeates the air, for seal and salmon were plentiful. Pete, very busy, very important, helps us with our. preparations for the prospecting expedition. The Natchalnik Invites us to a farewell dinner (deer tongue, ptarmigan, smoked and malted fish, much tea and more Vodka) and on the 17th day__ of August we set out. On t h e third night w e are encamped in t h e foothills. . Even here, at the threshold of boreal dreariness nature unfolds a a almost pathetic beauty. Imcold weather set in we killed and froze enougTTter last all winter. The brown bears are of immense size, greatly exceeding the grizzlies of the western hemisphere. Their front claws are shorter, thicker and more abruptly curved than in grizzlies. As a rule they give us a wide berth; in close quarters, however, or when wounded, they are veritable fiends from hell. But Pete attacks them, boldly and unhesitatingly, with his formidable spear. Tradition and training make all natives marksmen of the first order with firearms, bolos and arrows. Even small ermines ancr arctic squirrels stand no chance of escape at seventy-five yards; and the Kovyaks have to shoot them in the head, at that, or their skins would be worthless. The ground was frostbound nearly to the surface, and bedrock, reached by thawing through the icy gravels, w a s t e n to fifteen feet deep. Keeping three fires agofng, for which Pete rustled the wood, we made good headway. Lack of ieverage, however, makes the Russian shovel, which has no bend at its neck, a most unwleldly and exasperating utensil. At the beginning w e struck encouraging colors in addition t o quartz, iron pyrites, often in the form of misplckel and all the products of i t s decomposition such a s magnetic oxide and hematite. Despite these fair prospects we had worked our way up to the veriest headwaters without tangible results early in November. Near the source the soil w a s n o t frozen, due to warm volcanic springs, and sinking to bedrock became impossible. Therefore w e crossed the divide leading southward to the Russakoff river to examine Its course down to t h e sea and finally to sled to headquarters along the shore. On the Russakoff we found the same conditions; tepid springs above, a few colors below, paydirt nowhere. Winter is now upon u s in good earnest; in December our thermometer sinks to 67 below. T h e sheep are safe beyond the snowdrifts; bear, marmot and porcupine have retired for their long sleep; only willow grouse and rock ptarmigan remain with us. Glorious winter stars, clear, large, .unapproachable, glitter on t h e firmament At midnight the ^ Pleiades of Job and Homer flame from the zenith 3 and then the Northern Lights, v i o l e t silvery a n d ^ rose come down and dance with t h e houseless • snow. Christmas e v e finds n s near t h e Russakoffs mouth and o n New Year's day w e drag our sled Into Ola. Just in time; already midwinter sundogs loom ghost-like through the frost-mist in the south; for far to the northward the weatherwitch of the Yaga-Baba Pass has been brewing her dread purga, t h e Siberian snow storm. The blizzard's fury raged forty-eight hours, burytag the roofs of the lowly cabins under mountainous drifts. Quickly t h e late orthodox Christmas-tide approaches. In the morning the entire population— and with them we—attended church, Father Juvenal officiating in full canonicals of black and gold. Before the Russian New Year we were up and away once more. yrcz&arftr^n^^^^om^^^^^^^^^ We had secured two famous teams, each of fourteen big wolfish dogs. We intended to follow the foothills into the interior up to the Alutora river that borders Kamchatka to the north, thence to circle seaward and to use the coast line on our home trip. We reduced our load to the utmost depending on barter for our -ireeds. F e t e T a W ^ a i n r t o o T r - ^ arfcTT the second sled. A bitter cold had succeeded the pnr^a and t h e hard snow-_trail_was in splendid condition. ^ In full career we swept acrors the frozen Karuga, raced through the dog b c l l a m of Kitshlginsk and arrived at night in the Iloryak village of Vivnlksk, some sixty miles distant, on the shores of Baron Korff Bay. Over each of the dugouts was suspended a frozen dog, impaled under the chin on t h e sharp end of a pole, a sacrifice to the Fish God, to insure a good salmon run for the next season. , Next day we reached t h e first Yourtes of t h e wandering reindeer Koryaks. Along t h e Eeaward mountains beyond we commenced against the monotonous toilsome winter routine of northern prospectors. But In the here prevailing sandstone formations we lost even all traces of the yellow metal. After three laborious months, entirely barren of results as far a s gold was concerned, we dipped into t h e valley of t h e Alutora, ultimate northern border of Kamchatka, where the country of the Tchuktches begins. We followed this river to its mouth and {hence slowly worked our way back south trying lower water courses and beach for minerals. Hope awakened us in t h e morning; disappointment bedded us at night. Having learned our lesson we now pay the cost. Nevertheless, we are a happy, vagabondish crew, caring little and knowing less, how the world may plod. The Lure of the Lone Trail seldom pays its soldiers of fortune in cold cash. But there are other glorious compensations. In the glowing health of outdoor life, trail-hardened and the savage strength of brute in every thew, w e have felt the throbbing pulse of life primeval and lain close to the loving heart of our mother, the earth. Thus w e kept on, and one bright Sunday morning in April our ice-worn Nartas drew up with a flourish in front of St. Andrew's little church a t Ola, Just as Father Juvenal was dismissing his fold. We encountered & perfect storm of affectionate, but terrific welcome kisses which w e dodged a t best w e could. The rest of sledding time w e put In prospecting, the upper Karoga which yielded a few colors. From its headwaters w e scaled in May the Yaga-Baba Pass, S.200 feet high, and saw In the far distance the Sea of Okhotsk, agleam in the vernal sunshine. But the "yellow Btones" of native rumor proved slight sulphurous deposits of an ancient crater.

The present Is not a bad time to think about carrying these resolves into action. One method where good ice may be obtained at a reasonable distance from a lake or stream is to provide an ice house and ice box or refrigerator. Ice making, though somewhat disagreeable, may be done at a time of the year when other work is slack, and if attacked in the right way is no worse than much other works which must be done. With a bountiful supply of ice, and a refrigerator of sufficient capacity, cold storage may be provided for food and dairy products. It is recommended that a refrigerator of not less th,an 100 pounds capacity ol ice be us,ed for average conditions, and one of from 150 pounds to 200 pounds capacity Will be found to advantage in some cases. The ice box or refrigerator should be easily accessible to the kitchen and dining room, and for filing. If placed so that it may be filled without entering the house a great deal of dirt may be avoided. This is sometimes accomplished by placing the refrigerator on the back porch or in a permanent location where It may be,filled from an outside window. With, regard to Ice storage, an expensive or specially constructed building is not essential. Any room of proper dimensions where good under drainage may be provided, the walls fairly airtight and so arranged that ventilation may be secured above, ice may be stored without great loss from melting. A building designed for this purpose will have several points of advantage, however. In building an ice house the capacity Is the first thing to be considered. Solid Ice weighs about 56 pounds per cubic foot, and stored Ice, allowing for voids between ^akes and layers, averages about 40 "ounds per cubic foot. On this ba? * * a cube of stored ice 10x10x10 feet v ould weigh 20 tons. Assuming a consun />tion of 500 pounds per week, a weight of one ton per month would be consumed, which for six months would be six tons, Considerable allowance must be made for meltage, however, so that It Is safe to say that space for not less than fifteen or twenty tons should be provided. In cutting ice the size of cakes should be such as will be best sulteo. to loading, storing and the size of the ice box or refrigerator. A cake of ice 8 inches thick, 18 Inches wide and 30 Inches long weighs 140 pounds, so that some care should be taken not to get the cakes too large for handling, especially whereJifUng must be done. The keeping property of ice depends almost altogether on how well it is insulated from the heat. Air, mineral wool, asbestos, sawdust, shavings and chaff are good non-conductors. Air is one of the best, provided it is confined to small porous spaces, as in the voids in sawdust, shavings, etc Dry-jnaterials-^aro also HAS THE FARMER TIME TO READ By R. J. BALDWIN Michigan Agricultural College. SPELL OF TRAGEDY more effective as non-conductors of heat as a rule than wet. Let us note how these principles may be applied in ice storage. We have mentioned good drainage beneath the Ice. In any event there will be considerable meltage and the water thus formed should be drained away to prevent wetting of the nonconducting material and thereby rendering it less effective. A line of ordinary drain tile should be laid under the center or along each side below the ice and covered with six inches of gravel. This, then, should be spread with from four to six Inches of cinders, if obtainable, which is a better non-conductor than gravel. On the cinders then should be placed from six to twelve Inches of sawdust or shavings, upon which the Ice Is laid. The tile drain should be provided with a U trap outside of the ice house to prevent any possible chance of circulation of air beneath the ice. The walls of the ice house may consist of studding sheathed on the Inside with rough lumber, and with tar paper and siding outside. Cement blocks should also make excellent walls, since they do not deteriorate by dampness as does wood. Little Is gained by placing sawdust between the sheathing and siding, as it Is likely to become damp. Placing it tb.ua does eave rehandllng each year, however. In any case the total thickness of insulation should not be less than 12 inches either at the sides, above or below the Ice. Ventilation is necessary above the ice to keep the air and insulating material dry. This may be accomplished by latticed windows end a ventilating flue or shaft at the peak of the roof. Protection from the sun is also advantageous. Shade trees and wide roof projection help In this respect. A continuous door in the Ice house is also desirable so that the ice may be put In at any level and unnecessary lifting avoided either In filling or taking o u t Some means of keeping this opening closed quite tightly as high as the top of the nonconducting material should also be provide. To prevent channels forming for air to circulate heat to the Ice, the insulating material should be rammed or packed down at Intervals as the loe melts away and the top always kept wetl eoYered after each time loe H taken out It is fully as imjarts** to milk at regular times as ft 8? g# fasd regularly— both affect the When we say "we have no time" to do certain" things it would be well to think reasonably long enough to be sure that the thing being left undone is not of more importance than the things which keep us from doing It. It is true that every business has its busy season when all surplus energy Is used in the day's work and there is little time and less inclination to read. Especially is this'true on the farm, but there is no business man who has more valuable material at his command than the farmer and no business which is advancing more rapidly in methods than agriculture. The only way to keep in touch with the latest knowledge along a man's line of business is to secure the publications containing the experiences and knowledge of other men who are also working and reaming in that particular line. The physicians, lawyers, engineers and other professional men each have their journals and societies; the bankers, merchants and lumbermen each have their means of distributing latest information; the farmer has numerous farm papers and journals, the bulletins of the department of agriculture, Washington, D. C, and the publications of experiment stations in every state of the Union. All these institutions are investigating farm problems and methods and every year's work brings out new points which ought to be known and used by-every farmer. — Mueh o l d i n - formation is unknown to some of us because we have not formed the habit of reading. Fortunately farmers are becoming fewer who will not believe that farming can be learned from books and bulletins. They will still become fewer who insist that they have not time to read; they will be left behind in the keener competition of production. It is not a question of having time to read, but it is an undeniable certainty that no man can afford not to read and keep up with the best and latest information obtainable. The Michigan experiment station publishes bulletins every few weeks (from ten to fifteen per year) on the various phases of agriculture and these may be secured regularly when published by writing to "Director Michigan Experiment Station, East Lansing, Mich.," and asking that your name be placed on the mailing list.

BENEATH AN EVIL STAR Accidents Costing Several Lives Have Recently Been Followed by a Mortal Combat That Still Remains a Mystery. Harvesting and Storing Apples. Practically every farmer with a small orchard on his farm, desires to store a few apples for home use during the winter. It is one thing to grow n good crop of apples and quite another thing to properly harvest and store a good crop. There seems to be as much ignoranee an dcarelesBnessoin harvest7 ing and storing as in the growing, resulting in an inexcusable amount of decay and waste of the fruit. A few pointers, at this time, to prevent such waste, are worth considering. Time to Pack. Apples. If apples are harvested too early. they are apt to be undersized and of poor quality. If harvested too late, they will not keep as long in storage although they will be of high color and of good size and quality when picked. We do not expect a winter apple to be ripe at harvesting time. It should be full sized, however, well colored and it should separate readily from the spur. If, when picking the apples, the stems are pulled out or the spurs broken, it is too early to harvest that particular variety. Method of Harvesting. Apples should be handled like eggs. Any break or rupture in the skin caused by worms or carelessness in handling is the starting point for the various rots and other forms of decay. No fruit harvested by shaking of branches or knocking the fruit off with poles, is worth stdring. Hand picking is absolutely essential. The fruit should be grasped by -the palm of the hand that no abrasion may be made by the finger nails. By slightly twisting the fruit and bending it upward, it should separate readly from the spur. Apples should be placed and not thrown or let fall into the picking basket A careless picker will ruin more fruit by letting it fall into his basket Instead of carefully placing it there than his services are worth. A great amount of fruit is also ruined by pouring it from the picking basket into barrels. If barrels are used, the basket should be inserted into the barrel and carefully Inverted that the fruit may not be injured. , The fruit should then be stored as soon as possible. Piling the fruit in the orchard is a wasteful practice. The fruit, heats In the piles and ripens very readily. The aim in storing fruit is to" retard this ripening process that the fruit may be kept longer. Do not store fruit that has been piled In the orchard for any considerable time after picking. Get a good spring wagon for hauling the fruit Into storage. A sprlngless wagon, especially over rough roads, will Injure the fruit for storing. If the fruit Is packed in tight boxes or barrels, it will store better than if open crates are used. The storage house or cellar should be well ventilated, well drained and frost proof. A cellar that cannot be properly ventilated to allow foal air'to escape, cannot keep fruit wefl. Drain the cellar so that it will never be wet and remove excessive moisture with a box of quick lime. In ceHars having cement bottoms and where- they are apt to become too dry and cause the fruit to shrivel up, suppif Bloomsbury. Pa.—The spell of tragedy hangs over the Peterman home in Sugarloaf township, where, only a few days ago, there was fought the duel that resulted in the death of one Peterman brother and the wounding of the other, who is recovering and will be tried for murder. Since the hour when the news of the terrible affair at the Peterman farm became circulated over the quiet countryside the history of the Peterman homestead, with its tragedies, began to be recited over and over. Fifteen years ago, when the Peterman family was augmented by the marriage of John Peterman to a widow of the Sugarloaf district and the bringing of her three children under the Peterman roof tree, the family was ofl*~of the -happiestof that~pictureaque section. One day Mrs. Peterman was boiling soft soap in a large kettle that swung from a crane in the old loghouse. It was a ponderous cauldron, holding many gallons of the grease from the annual hog butchering, and the soap was to be of such quantity that it would answer the household all winter. Somehow—just how nobody seemed to know—one of the widow's children, in playing about the blazing fire, knocked the boiling kettle from its fastening, and the mass of sizzling grease spilled over, and not only that particular child, but the two other children of the woman, scalding all so badly that they died in a few hours. The tragedy so appalled the mother that for a long time it was feared she In Bed Seven Weeks With Terrible Kidney Trouble. A.

Today it stands as a link between the hideous past and the more hideous present. One day a few years after the terrible wiping out of Mrs. Peterman's little ones, her husband was at work in the fields not 200 yards from the house. A high wind, an accompaniment to a terrific storm, swept over the countryside, and just when Peterman was passing at a distance in which the limbs of the monarch caught and pinned him to the ground, a ponderous tree on the knoll was blown over and Farmer Peterman was killed. His grave was added to the row of little graves in the Sugarloaf cemetery, and alongside that of the first wife. Always the history of the Peterman farm was referred to in toneB of sadness, and the place grew to be associated with the community in sort of a weird way. But the capsheaf of its tragic history was that enacted somewhere in the house or out of it, with knife and a stone and fist, in the darkness the other night between the two brothers, who were equally interested in the property. There were two-score knife wounds in the body of Abram Peterman when the undertaker came to lay out bis body for burial, and the face and head were battered in as though done with a stone. His body had been found at the foot of a wall, or over shot, near the Peterman farmhouse, and in the latter the brother, John, himself terribly wounded as though he had been attacked by a veritable madman, was found in a semi-unconscious condition. He acknowledged having slain his brother, but declared that if he had not killed Abram he himself would have forfeited bis life.

Clinton W. W. Barnard The importance at preventing wide spread epidemic of whooping cough and measles does not appear to have been sufficiently impressed upon the minds of the pubjic. There are a number of diseases which receive much more attention from the public in proportion to their importance from the standpoint of mortality record, than do these. In the last five years in Michighn, tbere have been 1590 deaths charged to whoopi Dg-coDgh, and 1022 charged—ro~m ea si en. These numbers do not properly indicate the high rate of mortality- from these t*o diseases. This is because a great number of cases have been reported to have died of pneumonia, which upon closer investigation, shows to have had measles or whooping-cough preceding the pneumonia. Such deaths should be charged to whooping- cough or measles. The importance of these diseases, as considered by the medical profession, is well shown in the following resolution adopted by the Calhoun County Medical Society, recently. "RESOLVED, that the Calhoun County Medical Society in regular session in the city of Marshall, appreciates the fact that "Pertussis" (whooping-cough) is one of The Pikes live a quarter of a mile down the road from me," said th% girl who owned a summer cottage. "They have one of those simple little places of about twenty acres, with Its own bathing beach and melon patch and gold plated chicken yard and manicured cows and tomatoes worth SI a piece. If a fallen twig fix inches long is allowed to remain on the lawn the head gardener gets into a lot of trouble. One slug discovered on the rose bushes causes his discharge. "The Pikes are especially proud of their kitchen garden, where they raise things that cost them ten times what they would pay for the same things in the grocery store. But the things the Pikes raise are worth the price. You really wouldn't believe their strawberries if you saw one suddenly with no preparation. As for the green peas—actually, those peas should be framed and hung on the wall just to be looked at! "Well, the Pikes had a guest over Sunday, a large, beefy, important gentleman who had made his money late in life and who enjoys entering electric lighted cafes and tipping t h e waiter with a $5 bill. They thought they would give him a genuine treat, something he did not get every day, a dish that would make him exclaim loyously. So they had the first picking of June peas with the broiled chicken for dinner, It is milled from the best part of the wheat berry and makes white light bread and cakes of a deitcTomj|"the mosrfatarof The-coniagious diseaseiof flavor. The results are always the same. For 6ale by the following grocers: W. T. WRIGHT, D. D. S. Office Over Monks', Bros. Store PINOKNEY, - - MICH * ft. Clinton A u c t i o n e e r inckney, . .

The pDlicy which we too often find, of allowing > children who have whooping cough to Rttend the publis schools is an entirely wrong one, and one which must not be tolerated. A child with whooping cough or measles should be given just as careful attention by the parents and physicians as a case of Scarlet Fever. The regulations of the State Roard of Health provide that children who have whooping cough or measles, must not attend the public schools or any other public gatherings. This is a regulation which is rather extensively not complied with in this state, and it is this failure to so restrict the cases which accounts for the large number of deaths. It is especially urged that the public in general take more active precautions against these large epidermic? of whooping cough and measles. It is the duty of the physicians in charge of the cases, or of the householder in case there is no physician in charge, to report these cases to the Local Health Officer. It is his duty to forward the report to the State Department. Failure to comply with these requirements constitutes a violation of the law which should not be tolerated.—Robert L.Dixon, M. D. 60 YKAfttP-. EXPIMENOC "The guest did not observe the breathless hush with which the peas were offered him, but he helped him- Belf bountifully and devoured them in a. workmanlike manner, while his hosts watched him expectantly. Nothing happened. "Mr. Pike coughed. 'Er—,' he began. 'The peas—pretty -£bod, eh? Right from our own garden!' "The beefy gentleman dimly felt that something was expected from htm. *Oh, yes/ he said, 'To be sure— the peas. They're good, aren't they? Almost as good as the French canned peas they serve at hotels!' "Not having a garden",*! do not get tny feelings outraged in just the same manner a s did the Pikes—but there ire times. There was the occasion of the peach tree, for Instance. "Nobody who has not witnessed the letting out in a sunny place of four walking sticks with funny green knobs on them and has not nursed and cherished them for three seasons and spatted off spiders and ants and tiefied curly leaf and the yellow blight and coddled and fussed over them can understand what it means to arrive in the spring and And six or seven fuzzy, unmistakable peaches on each, of those trees. It is as exciting a mo^ ment zs that wherrroTi"find "aTBaby has cut a tooth! I would go out a dozen times a day just to assure myself that the peaches were all there and no tasect was marring them and to tell them how nice it was of them actually to grow before my very eyes on my own trees! That was the summer I asked Pearl over to visit me. Improvement in Types of Horses Bred on Our Farms of Greatest Importance to Farmer. The fact Losl the aire is concerned with s o man> more individual offspring in a given season than a single mare, makes it readily seen that his influence is much more extensive. To improve the horse stock of a given community through the female line, for instance, would require the use of fifty or more superior mares to accomplish the same results as might be secured by the use of a single stallion. Purity of breeding insures prepotency and since, in the grading-up process the pure-bred parent is usually the sire, it is essential that he be of such a character that the impression which he stamps upon his offspring shall be only of the best. Defects in structure cannot be offset by type or breeding of the highest degree of excellency. A horse may be a superior individual in a class by himself, but he must conform closely to the specified requirements of the type with which he should class. The influence of well-bred Bires in any community can readily be seen by observing thV*-norses used in the fleldB, on the road and particularly in the horse markets of the cities. Certain states that have paid attention to horse-breeding, now produce animals that can almost be told at a glance by dealers, without knowing in advance where they came from, so superior is their quality. Other states have exactly the reverse reput a t i o n a n d a» soon a s a i o t fs announced as coming from such a state, dealers will desert the sale ring. Horses coming from such localities where farmers are averse to paying a decent service-fee, but prefer to use scrubs, are of poor type, vary widely ;<*s GOODRICH A * S T Y L E 3 9 One of the Best £ Machines ^ Just received our P a l l stock.

The only time Pearl stepped off the porch when she did not have to I found her out by the peach trees. "'There was a big fat squirrel on the rail fence just now/ she said, 'eating something so busily that h e would'nt budge even when I threw things at him. _ There weren't any stones, so I used those hard green things on these trees—they were just right to throw—and he jumped so when the last one hit him.'

I showed them the place—It takes about Ave minutes to exhaust the sights of my estate—and with a burst of pride dilated on the fact that even In these wilds there are'comforts and that I have a bathroom, with running water. 'Of course,' I added, 'it's cold water, but then just consider having any kind right in the house!' "Mr. Vanneck leaned weakly against a wall. 'Do .you mean to say,' he got out tragically, 'that you don't have hot water here? No not water?' "'You heat it on the alcohol lamp to shave,' I explained. 'And for a hot bath we heat it on the kitchen stove and carry it in, but the water Is so soft that I prefer the cold tub.' "Mr. Vanneck clapped his hand to his brow and went and sat in a corner and moped over the awful calamity of no unlimited hot water. All the time they were here bis wife and X spent most of it stoking the kitchen stove so that if Vanneck took a sudden fancy for a hot bath there wou|d be plenty of water. **The thermometer stood above 90 and every one was going around with perspiration dripping from the end of Ms note seeking coolness, but when* ever I encountered Vanneck's resigned, reproachful eye I felt that I had blighted hi* comfort Mrs. Vanneck tried to apologize. She said he was so dependent on the ordinary comforts of life* and that-one had to humor him. "If I ware married to Vanneck I know how I'd htUBor him—I'd tie him nra bag and sink him in the coldest •tot In the lake!" \ •jaW,>i tfij II fc To be profitable, sows must be sure breeders. Examine the collars of your work horses often. Don't let the nursing sows ran down too much in condition. v Do not disturb the sow for at least 24 hours after farrowing. Don't feed the young pigs intended for breeding purposes altogether on corn. Ashes have good effect on the pigs' digestion, besides killing intestinal worms. Your horse may Intend to please you, but does not understand your wishes. Don't neglect to commence feeding the colts some grain before they are weaned. The pure-bred draft breeding atane will do aa much work as a grade, and bar colt will be worth much more. Gold, exposed sleeping quarters that compel the sows to pile up in order to keep warm are usually responsible for the dead pigs at this time. If you are suspicious that some ot your cattlo are affected with tuberculosis, the sooner you have your herd tested and made free from the trouble the better it will be for your pocketbook. / When you gat a good brood sow, one that always farrows a fair-sized litter of strong pigs and raises a large per cent of them, better hold on to her aa long as the continues her good work.

For the most purt mankind ha* learned to accept the varied happen Ings of life in a philosophical spirit But there always will be people who, forgetting the inspired adage whicfi recites that sufficient unto the day i the evil thereof,, continually lool ahead for trouble. The other day a big snake in the Bronx zoo was found to be suffering from bronchitis. The ordinary remedies were given and in addition the reptile's throat was wrap ped with adhesive plaster for a distance of six feet—the unusual space being covered, perhaps because it is difficult to teii where a snake's throat ends and the rest of him begins. And now an uneasy correspondent writes to his daily paper and asks how the doctor and the attendants propose tc remove the plaster. It is possible, that this Inquiring person has had trouble with plasters and knows how unpleas ant it is suddenly to separate the stickers from the human skin. But, why worry about the snake? Why look for trouble even before the plas ter begins to draw? When the prop er time comes and the usefulness oi the big muffler is ended, it is possible the cobra will slough the plasters as he might his skin. A writer contends that for the deflnition of "home" as "the place where a man can do as he pleases." There might be much advanced in favor of the proposition that It is the place where woman can do as she pleases— at least she generally does. Well, why not? Who makes the home? Every ideal home owes its greatest charms to woman's part in its making. Man is aware of that, and the American man generally accepts woman's exclusive dominion In the home of her unquestioned right, his privilege being to finance the enterprise and to enjoy the comfort which the presiding genius provides for him.

Foot-and-mouth disease, which broke out three months ago In the province of Haute-Savoie, has spread rapidly and is now tbreatening centra 1 and southern France. Pigs, sheep and cattle are affected. The best policy with reference to this scourge is to keep It out of a country by the most stringent Inspection Bystem for Imports of live stock. The example of Prance demonstrates that the disease is hard to fight when it once gets in. And now the pure food experts are after some of the soda fountain drinks, charging, among other things, that tii y are habit forming.

Only a few of the Gl business houses have escaped the fury of the raging waters and they seem doomed. Within a few hours this rich center of a prosperous farming region will have little to boast except that it was the scene of a catastrophe. What is known as I*ower Town, that part of the tuwn lying west of the river, was a place of misery. There most of the residents live. Following u night of anxiety and suffering, they faced the realization that no food was available. Many homes have been demolished and frequently several families share food which would not be enough for one family. —Every -grocery store and market has been swept away by the deluge. Provisions will come from the outside, but transportation is impeded by washouts, Two dozen dwellings have been carried away. So far as can be ascertained there have been no deaths. Everything on the four business streets, comprising the heart of the town, has been swept away. The Northwestern railroad bridge over the Black river at that point is still standing, but it is swaying as though the heavy spans were supported only by cables. Train service is cut off at Black River and no one is even allowed to cross afoot. At Hatfield, 10 miles above Black River Falls, the river had cut a new channel. The main channel has moved over 500 feet to what was dry land. At the dam the prec sure has ceased and the waters have fallen far below ] the crest. The main part of the dam Is still standing. The power house two miles down from Holland was Hooded. Two dams gave out in Chippewa Falls, Wis., and one at Bloomer. The country is Hooded. The Chippewa river rose 8 feet in 10 hours. Water is running in the streets as a result of an IS hours' downpour of rain. Several farm bonnes floated down "the stream that passed around the west end of the Hatfield dam. Water 11 feet deep flowed over the top of the dam and tore away the bridge at Black River Falls. The families that occupied the floated -houses, it is feared, perished. Hatfield is under water, but. it Is thought that no lives were lost there. * Authorize Stock for Electric Line. The state railroad commission Friday- authorized the Michigan & Indiana Traction company to incorporate and iesne stock in the sum of 57")0,000. The new company intends to promote an electric railroad fro/n Coldwater to Battle Creek via Union City and Athens, Five thousand dollars' worth of the stock is to be common, and $2,500 r> per cent preferred. P. M. Dunn, of Chicago, is at the'^ead af the new firm, while Walter Powers, of Battle Creek, is also interested. Maccabees Plan to Endow Beds. Plans for endowing in perpetuity beds in various Michigan hospitals, where members in need of surgical reatment can be cared for, were formulated by the executive committee of the Knights of the Modern Maccabees at a meeting. An expenditure af $.'JO,000 will be necessary to endow beds in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and in one or two cities in the upper peninsula. The medical examiner was empowered to work out a plan of caring for members suffering from tuberculosis. Tax Increase Put on Alpena. The Michigan tax commission, following the session in Alpena, has raised the total valuation of Alpena from a trifle over $6,000,000 to nearly $9,500,000, or an average increase of 57 per cent. The principal increases are: Fletcher Paper Co., $200,000 to $500,000; Huron Portland Cement Co., $250,000 to $780,000; Michigan Alkali Co., $200,000 to $450,000.

ITALY IS NOT FOR PEACE W A N T S TO LAND ARMY OF OCCUPATION IN TRIPOLI BEFORE SHE T A L K 8 PEACE. ISSUES OFFICIAL W A R N I N G TO T H E WORLD. Claims to Have an Agreement With the Powers Regarding Proper Time to Permit an Intervention. News from the Turco-Italian wai has hitherto been fragmentary and uncertain. The rigid censorship lnv posed by Italy has concealed t h e facts and let loose a flood of fiction, but what is known to be true is probably all of importance that has really happened. This does not amount to a great deal. The bombardment of the Tripoli forts, followed by the occupation of the place by small landing parties, was the chief act of warfare. The Turkish garrison seems to have been satisfied with the honor of enduring the bombardment almost passively. This has been the policy of the Turks and home also, which has been marked by great restraint, apparently on the assumption that a policy of delay would be almost likely to bring about mediation by the powers. Many* Reports Inaccurate. Hostilities outside Tripoli and Cyrene have been confined to naval activity in the Adriatic and the exchange of shots by gunboats at Hodeida in the Red fcea, in which a British launch was the only sufferer. It is impossible to calculate how many Turkish so-called torpedo boats have been sunk and destroyed in the Adriatic. Obviously the same incident with the geography and details slightly varied has been repeated again and again. If all the reports were accepted as true Turkey would be found to have lost more of these craft than she ever possessed. Turkish Tripoli Loss Is 12 Killed, 23 Hurt. It is officially announced that the Turkish loss at the bombardment of Tripoli were 12 killed and 23 wounded. One Italian cruiser was damaged by the forts. It Is reported that an Italian cruiser has bombarded Suedish, vilayet of Aleffo, but that no damage was done. The committee of Young Turks at Salonka has decided to maintain the struggle. Reschld Pasha has declined the portfolio of minister of foreign relations. Tripoli Is in a State of Siege. Advices from Tripoli state that the Italian governor, Rear Admiral Borea <l'01mo, has issued a proclamation declaring the town In a state of siege. The smaller Italian warships are engaged in searching for and removing mines that were laid by the Turks in Tripolitan haruo'rs. Nearly the entire body of the Trlpoliton police has offered to enter the Italian service and similar offers have "heeir-re^eTveid~from---o4her—4oea+—officials. Gov, d'Olmo is organizing the public Services. The Italian postofnee has been reopened and the Italian coat-of-arms placed over the doorways. It is reported that vice admiral, the duke of the Abruzzi, considering that the acute stage of the war has passed, has submitted to the king a plan to organize a scientific expedition into the interior of Tripoli. He proposes to study the flora, fauna -and water courses and proceeding south through Central Africa, eventually entering country as1 yet unexplored or little known. MICHIGAN BREVITIES T ir—memr^sz Grant.—Following the good roads movement taken up in, Grant and Ashland; townships; this season, State Deputy Road Commissioner William E. Cox of Lansing has been here and placed his O. K. upon two miles of new road in Ashland and one mile In 6 r a n t township, and Ashland township will have $1,000 reward paid Into her treasury in the near future, while Grant township will realize one-half this amount. Ashland, in which township is Bituated the village of Grant, will turn this reward money into more good roads at the earliest oportunity. There is some talk of bonding for $20,- 000. Jackson.—That the council of a city can go even farther than the Warner-Cramton act in limiting th*- number of saloons In a city Is the substance of an opinion handed down by the Bupreme court In the case of Edward Frey against the city of Jackson. Following the repeal of the local option law in this county, the council passed an ordinance limiting the number of Baloons to one for each 1,000 population. Under the state law the number is limited to one for every 500 population. Sixty-five applications for licenses were filed with the city recorder. The council reduced this list to 32 and granted licenses, the number allowed under the ordinance. FLASHES FROM WIRE. The shops of the Great Western Mining Co., in Crystal Falls, were ruined by fire caused by gasoline. Visitors who journey to the nation's capital to view the great public buildings, will be permitted to visit the national museum on Sundays hereafter. A plan for a 1915 Glidden tour to extend from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific has been submitted to the American Automobile association officials by a western organization. Wireless communication between San Francisco and Japan, a distance of 6,000 miles, has been established. This is the first time that a wireless message has been received across the Pacific ocean. Zlon City has formally repudiated the ecclesiastical rule enforced by the late John Alexander Dowle and will "no longer submit to church or religious dictation. Instead, it will he governed, as are other cities, by a mayor and council. Charles E.

This makes six resignations of t h e eleven members of the board this year, most of the examiners having resigned to take better positions. George Gould's youthful son, Jay, has purchased a $250,000 residence on Fifth avenue, New York, as a gift for his bride, who was Miss Anne Douglas Graham. The house is six stories high and was formerly the property of Archer Huntington. With appropriate ceremonies and a parade of soldiers and tailors, the 130th anniversary of the surrender of Lord Cornwalls and his army to George Washington at Yorktown, Va., will he celebrated at Yorktown Thursday, October 19. It is expected people from various p a r t i of the country will make a pilgrimage to the famous^battlefleld a t thai time. Pohtiac.—Workmen, excavating for a new block which Commissioner William H. Osmun will erect on Wayne street in the rear of the Osmun building, discovered the skeleton of a man. It had been burled a few feet below the cellar level of an old house which formerly stood there. The bones were brown and brittle with age and there was nothing which might serve as identification. Officers believe a murder may have been committed and the body burled beneath the old house, owing to the fact that at one time it was a disorderly place. Ann Arbor.—The first Carnegie medal owner In the university entered. He is E. J. Roller, from Jackson, and he registered In the literary department. Seven years ago last Christmas Roller, then a lad of thirteen years, and a playmate of the same age, went skating on a lake •ear Manchester. The other lad broke through the ice and was rescued by Roller at the risk of his own life. The matter was brought to the attention of Andrew Carnegie, who awarded young Roller a bronze medal land ¢2,000 with which to educate himself. - Jaekson.—After deliberating but 20 minutes, a jury returned a verdict of guilty against Frank Riley, charged with abducting fourteen-yearold Dora Burdick for the purpose of marriage. Sentence was deferred until a later date. The offense with which Riley was charged was committed April 17. Riley was employed on -the—John Randall farm~rrear--Ja€ksoaTJ and it was there that he met Miss Burdick, the Randalls being her guardians. Ionia.—It is announced that the Pere Marquette has 3,000 cars in need of repairs, as a result of which the city of Ionia is getting busy with the donation of additional land for yard track purposes. T. H. Preston has been made trustee of the fund of $1,000 which is in a local bank ready for use, and the purchase will be completed this week. As soon as the railroad shops are enlarged a large force of men will be added to the local Pere Marquette force. Grand Rapids.—A drastic war is being waged here against the billboard evil. The Granville Avenue Improvement association has sent out a city-wide request that all merchants refuse to patronize that form of advertising. This is practically a boycott, which is prohibited by the state and federal laws. As a result wholesale suits are threatened by billboard owners against the merchants who belong to t h e association. Battle Creek.—One of Battle Creek's new fire fighting motor-cars was wrecked when Driver F. A. Bruce, hurrying' from station No. 2 to a fire on Lake avenue, turned the automobile into a tree to avoid hitting Noame Moss, eleven years old. The end of the automobile slewed so that the child was run over by the rear wheel after all, and badly bruised, It being necessary to take her to Nichols hospital. Monroe.—George Niswender, fifty- Ave years old, for twenty-seven year connected with a local nursery, was struck by a Lake Shore switch engine on the bridge across the River Raisin, knocked oft the bridge into the water and killed. His skull was fractured. Owosso. — Twenty-two girl opera* tors of the Union Telephone company walked out, leaving t h e ex* change with practically no help.

They work eight and nine hoars, every third Sunday and holidays. They demand $20 per month for beginners, $22.50 aft«T the first year, $25 lor long-distance operators and 12½ cents per hour for Sunday ana overtime. SPLENDIO CANADIAN CROPS Wheat, Oats and Barley Universally Good Throughout , Manitoba, Saskatchewan j and Alberta. / The reports that corns to hand from t h e wheat fields of the western Canadian provinces show remarkably good yields In all parts. Yields are recorded of wheat going 35 and 40 bushels in many places, and oats from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. Barley and flax are splendid. The thousands of Americans throughout the United States who have friends in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta will be pleased to learn of the great success that has followed their efforts. Many of these have not confined themselves to the growing of grain, but have also gone into the cattle Industry. On the luxurious grasses that are so abundant there, in almost all districts, make this Industry safe and profitable. ; The land sales reported by the railway companies and by the different land companies show the great increase that will likely take place ; during the next year in farming operations. What has been said time and time again may now be well repeated, that there is no place on the American continent where the same opportunities are afforded the man looking for a home, for the young man starting out in ^life, the man with a growing up family, who desires wider scope for his ambition. ,_The_Canad i a n g o v e r n m e n t agents located at different points in the states will be glad to advise the reader of the conditions, and relate to him instances of the great success that has followed farming in Western Canada. Some Mosquitoes. "Yes," said the traveler who had Just returned from South Africa. "I was one day so annoyed by mosquitoes that I was compelled to take refuge in an old iron safe which lay discarded on the veldt. "My first emotions of joy at my happy deliverance were hardly over when the mosquitoes, scenting me, began to drive their stingers through the safe. Fortunately, I had a hammer In my pocket, and as fast as their stingers came through the Iron I clinched them, until at length such a host of them was fastened down In this way that, when they started to fly away, they carried me and that safe miles.

Keith possessed sufficient means tor several months of idleness, and even if he had not, his reputation as a plains scout would insure hlra employment at any of fhe more important scattered army posts. Reliable men for such service were in demand. The restlessness of the various Indian tribes, made specially manifest by raids on the more advanced settlements, and extending over a constantly widening territory, required continuous interchange of pommunlcatlon between commanders of detachments. Bold and reckless spirits had flocked to the, frontier in those days following the Civil War, yet all were not of the type to encourage confidence in military authorities. Keith bad already frequently served In this capacity, and abundantly proved his "worth under rigorous demands-of-beth endurance and intelligence, and be could feel assured of permanent employment whenever desired. Not a few of the more prominent officers he had met personally during the late •war—Including Sheridan, to whom he had once borne a flag of truce—yet the spirit of the Confederacy still lingered in his heart: not in any feeling of either hatred or revenge, but in an unwillingfcess to serve the blue uniform, and a memory of antagonism which would not entirely disappear. He had surrendered at Appomattox, •conquered, yet he could not quite adjust himself to becoming companionin- arms with those against whom be toad fought valiantly for four years. Some of the wounds of that conflict «UI1 smarted. A natural soldier, anxious to help the harassed settlers, -eager enough to be actively employed, he still held aloof from army connections except as a volunteer la case of emergency. Just now other considerations -caused him to desire freedom. He had been accused of murder, imprisoned for It, and in order to escape, had been compelled to steal horses, the most heinous crime of the frontier. Not only for his own protection and safety must the truth of that occurrence at the Clmmaron Crossing he made clear, but he also had now a personal affair with "Black Bart" Hawley to be permanently settled. They had already clashed twice, and Keith Intended they should meet again. Memory of the girl was still in his mind as he and Neb rode silently forth on the black prairie, leading the extra horse behind him. He endeavored to drive the recollection from his mind, so he might concentrate it upon plane for the future, but somehow she mysteriously wove her own personality into those plans, and he was ever seeing the pleading in her eyes, and listening to the soft Southern accent of her voice. Of late years he had ytjeen unaccustomed to association „ . w ihth women of high type, and there it^v"''°1,JL» tfcat touch of the gentlewoman _^«fcout this girl which had awakened ^ ^tfeep Interest Of course he knew that In her ease it was merely an Inheri- " tance of her past, and could not truly represent the present Christie Ma- Claire of the music balls. However fascinating she might be, she could sot be worthy any serious consideration. In spite of his rough life the social spirit of the old South was Implanted in bis blood, and no woman of that class could bold him captive. Yet, some way, she refused to be banished or left behind. Even Neb must have 'bees Obsessed by a similar spirit, for he suddenly observed; "Dat am suU'nly a mighty fine gal. ( Mass* Jack. 1 ain't seen sotbtn* to compare wld her since I cjuit or Virginia—" deed I ain't" ) Keith gianoed back at bis black ' iftcetm* barely able to distinguish the feQow's dim outlines. < "Ton think her a lady, thesT he ^ ,«jeetto**o; gtrter thoughtless otter- !W THE ; k DEff LEOrTHCPLAIflS P A N D A I X P A O D I S H - .

What General? When was he here?" "Shure now, be aisy, honey, an' Oi'U tell ye all thePe Is to it. It's not his name Oi know; maybe Oi nlver heard till av it. but 'twas the 'Gineral' they called him, all right.

The girl touched the spring, revealing the face within, but her eyes were blinded with tears. The landlady looked at her in alarm. "What is it. honey? What is it? Did you know htm?" The slender form swayed forward, shaken with sobs. "He was my father, and—and this is my mother's picture which he always carried." "Then what is your name?" "Hope Waite." Kate Murphy looked at the face half hidden in the bod-clothes. That was not the name which Keith had given her, hut she had lived on the border too long to be inquisitive. The other lifted her head, flinging back her loosened hair with one hand. "Mr. Kellli dropped it," she exclaimed. Where do you suppose he got it?" Then she gave a quick, startled cry, her eyes opening wide in horror. "The Clmmaron Crossing, the murder at the Clmmaron Crossing! He—he told me about that; but ho never showed me this—this. Do you—do you think—" Her voice failed, but Kate Murphy gathered her into her arms. "Cry here, honey," she said, as if to a child. "Shure an' Oi'm tellin" ye it niver was Jack Keith what did It— murther ain't his stoyle." Across Its Face Was Plainly Written, "Miss Christie Maclaire." ~auce~ to his own imagination.

Hawley knew her too, and called her by name." Neb rubbed his eyes, and slapped his pony's flank, unable to answer, yet still unconvinced. "I reck'n both oh yer might be mistook," he insisted doggedly. "Not likely," and Keith's brief laugh was not altogether devoid of bitterness. "We both called her Christie Maclaire, and she didn't even deny the name; she was evidently not proud of It but there was no denial that she was the girl." "Dat wasn't like no name dat you called her when we was ridln'." "No; she didn't approve of the other, and told me to call her Hope, but 1 reckon she's Christie Maclaire all right" They rode on through the black, silent night as rapidly as their tired horses would consent to travel. Keith led directly across the open prairie, guiding his course by the stars, and purposely avoiding the trails, where some suspicious eye might mark their passage. His first object was to get safely away from the scattered settlements lying east of Carson City. Beyond their radius he could safely dispose of the horses they rode, disappear from view, and find time to develop future plans. As to the g i r l - well, he would keep his word with her, of course, and see her again sometime. There would be no difficulty about that but otherwise she should retain no influence over him. She belonged rather to Hawley's class than his. It was a lonely, tiresome ride, during which Neb made various efforts to talk, but finding his white companion uncommunicative, at last relapsed into rather sullen silence. The horses plodded on steadily, and when daylight finally dawned, the two men found themselves in a depression leading down to the Smoky River. Here they came to a water hole, where they could safely hide themselves and their stock. With both Indians and white men to be guarded against they took all the necessary precautions, picketing the horses closely under the rock shadows, and not venturing upas building any tire. Neb threw himself on the turf and was Instantly asleep, but Keith climbed the steep side of the gully, and made searching survey of the horteon.

In the unbuckled holster his eye observed the glimmer of a bit of gazed at it unthinkingly. It was an envelope, robbed of its contents, evidently not sent through the malls, as it had not been stamped, but across Its face was plainly written, "Miss Christie Maclaire." He stared at It, his lips firm set, his gray eyes darkening. If be possessed any doubts before as to her identity, they were all thoroughly dissipated now.

Introducing Doctor Fairbaln. Headed as they were, and having no other special ohJecti.ve point in- view, i^ was only natural for the two fugitives to drift into Sheridan. This was at that time the human cesspool of the plains country, a seething, boiling maelstrom of all that was rough, evil, and brazen along the entire frontier. Customarily quiet enough during the hours of daylight, the town became a mad As he lay there, with head pillowed on the saddle, his body aching from fatigue yet totally unable to sleep, staring open-eyed Into the blue of the sky, the girl they had left behind awoke from uneasy slumber, aroused by the entrance of Mrs. Murphy. For an instant she failed to comprehend her position, but the strong brogue of the energetic landlady broke in sharply: "A bit av a cup av coffee f*r ye, honey," she explained, crossing to the bed. "Shure an' there's nuthln' loike it when ye first wake up. Howly Mlther, but It's tot*d 'nough ye do be Iookin' yet" "I haven't slept very well," the girl confessed, bringing her hand out from beneath the coverlet, the locket still tightly clasped in her finger. "See, I found this on the floor last night after you had gone down stairs." "Ye did!" setting the coffee "on a convenient chair, and reaching out for the trinket "Let's have a look at It ness, its ceaseless orgies being noisily continued until dawn. But at this period all track work on the Kansas Pacific being temporarily suspended by Indian outbreaks, the graders made both night and day alike hideous, ind the single dirty street which composed Sheridan, lined with shacks, crowded with saloons, the dull dead prairif stretching away on every side to the horizon, was congested with humanity during every hour of the twenty-four. (TO BE CONTINUED.) \ Strict School Rules. John Wesley held that school children should do without holidays altogether. When he opened Klngswood school in 1748 he announced that "the children of tender parents, so called, have no business here, for the rules will not be broken in favor of any person whatsoever. Nor is any child received unless his parents agree that be shall observe all the rules of the house; and that they will not take him from school, no, not for a day, till they take him for good and all" Further, no play days were permitted, and no time was ever allowed for play, on the ground that he who plays when he is a child will play when he becomes a man. Every Friday the children had to work till three in the afternoon without breaking their fast ( i i i A i . v I : T I , W h e a t - - ( ' a s h No. 2 v<\, !Hc; D e c e m - ber o p e n e d w i t h o u t c h a n g e at !h< 1-lc; a d v a n c e d to $1 a n d closed at !h»:i-le; Mav opened at ¢1.0 1 1-1, a d v a n c e d to $1,0.7 a n d closed a t $ 1 , 0 1 2 - 1 ; No. 1 White, Hie; s a m p l e , 1 car a t lh»c.

When James Bryce, unaccompanied, made his remarkable ascent In 1876 be was told by every one whom he met in the vicinity of the mountain that the top had never been reached, and, what was more, it never could be. Jinns and fiends and sitnts had prevented the rascally Kurds from even attempting to scale the terrible mountain, and since the ark grounded there mortal man had not been allowed to trespass on the sacred heights, be was fSfOfflMO* ^'Had not St. Hagop tried again and again to reach tbe summit in order to silence the skeptics about the ark, but found himself each mornir- on waking quietly deposited at the base, whence he started? Finally an angel presented him with a piece of the ark for his pains, but told him to cease his attempts to reach the forbidden ground. "That was in the fourth century of our era, but tbe piece o' the ark is still Jo be seen at the monastery of the Echmiedzin, where dwell* the catbollcos of the Armenian church.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY Itched So He Could Not Sleep "On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking: baby with us. After being in Ireland a few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to a doctor who gave us medicine for him. The trouble started in the form of a rash and was all over baby's body, head and face, at different times. It irritated, and he would scratch it with all his might. The consequence was it developed into sores, and we wera afraid it would leave nasty scars on his face. "When we reached England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food and climate, and gave more medicine. The rash got nb better, and it used to itch and burn at night so bad that the child could not sleep. He was completely covered with it at different times. It was at this time that my mother advised us to try Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. After using Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment tor about nine months the places disappeared. There are not any scars, or other Jclnd of disfigurement, and baby is completely cured by the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment We have no further trouble with baby's akin.

Mr. Cole has the gift of explaining his travel?, through pictures of his own taking, that both holds and educates his hearers. It is indeed a rich treat that those present enjoyed, and those absent missed a lesson that could not be found in any other way. Mr. Cole's lectures bring o u r south west country's conditions home so forcibly that it appeals strongly to the christian hand to give and the heart to live for tbe land we love. No more profound picture could be held before tbe public to-day then these gems of art that decorate his canvass.

Baba ^haratl was formerly a priest at Muttra, In Northwestern Bengal, but about five years ago, he says, he received a call to go into the west and teach his conception of religion. Since that time he has journeyed between ladia and the United States, his last stay, In Los Angeles, being of 18 months. "Christianity," he said, "has lost Its interpreter. It is no longer Christianity in America, but churchanity, The ministers are the machine-made products of theological seminaries, who do not live the proper sort of life.'

Novel Collection of the Animals, Vegetables and Minerals Mentioned in Holy Writ. A model of a aperm whale—a member of the family to which Jonah's "great fish" ia believed to have belonged— is one of the many interesting things to be seen at the novel exhibition of Biblical objects in natural history at the Natural History museum, London, England. The space allotted to the collection la far too limited to permit actual specimens of the larger mammals, but a number of interesting photographs are shown of the wild boar, the hyena, the lion, the elephant and the hippopotamus, which was known to the ancients as the water ox. In the same case are some finely preserved specimens of the chameleon, the Egyptian tomb bat, a beautifully marked cobra, Cleopatra's asp, the horned viper and the frog. The frog i s mentioned only twiee in the Old and once in the New Testament. It is of the edible variety, and is widely distributed In- Europe, Asia and North Africa. A large case contains seven pieces of manna, a Bpecles of lichen found in North Africa and the eastern deserts and mountains. The inhabitants of these districts still regard this manna as sent from heaven. There are also bullrushes, lentils and sections of the more famous trees of the Holy Land, such as cedar, ebony, sandalwood, boxwood, gopher wood, thyme wood (mentioned in Revelation) and olive wood. The plagues of Egypt are represented by the North American and migratory locusts, the canker worm, scorpion, hornet and gadfly. The collection of minerals Includes a beautiful cut-beryl, tbe first stone in the fourth row of the high priest's breastplate and the eighth foundation of the new Jerusalem.

The swordflsh has arrived. We have called attention hitherto to the statement of naturalists that these fish are never found small and young c% our Atlantic coast. They are born across the seas in the Mediterranean. When they begin to feel the spirit of adventure they start over for a summer along the North Atlantic shore. Here they spend the season, and, If they are not taken to market, they disappear again when the water cools and off they go. They are taken by harpoon. It is their custom to lie on the surface of the ocean, theh- great back fins swaying in the air. Apparently they sleep. But nobody would call them sleepy after the harpoon hits in. A considerable line is attach- * ed to a barrel at one end and harpoon at the other. The fish is struck and then over goes the line, barrel, and the whole outfit. The fish sets off madly, but after a time tires and in a dory the fisherman draws up to him, sticks him with a knife, much a s a pig is dealt with in the farm, the ocean reds for a space about the boat, and then several hundred pounds of fish are hauled on board the larger craft. Last year swordflsh were scarce and the fishermen got as high as 15 cents a pound. This year the Boston market is giving the prtnoely sum of four cents a pound. Of late years New York has token to eating swordflsh, but for a long time the meat was un« salable there and New England did all the eating. Few fish furaish a more delicate food.

WASMINQTON, 0 . ¢ . DA-SNOWTo a bank cashier with a taste for chemistry is due the credit of a Simple yet Hg^y^elfil^nT'Trasfi protector and cracksman tamer. Several years ago Cashier Clark of the Corona State bank, South Dakota, hit upon the idea that if he could place a bottle of some strong chemical between the outer and inner doors of the vaults its fumes might retard the Work of safe breakers or perhaps frightea them away. A quart bottle of formaldehyde was immediately given a position a s a silent night watchman between the doors of the vault. For about five years the "yegg doctor" kept unobtrusive guard. Finally early in November, 1910, the test oasne. A'ceuple of professional cracksmen entered the town. Two charges of nitroglycerin were used on Cashier Clark's safe that night. The first one did little -damage^- but- the eecond: wrecked beta the outer and inner doorB, tore t i e latter from their hinges and' threw them out into the vault and against the small safe and safety deposit boxes. TheJ'yeggmen" did not wait to wreck the inner safe, however, for at the same moment the "yegg doctor" responded-tb~lTTiuTrycall and the fumed of a full quart of formaldehyde filled the room. Choking and gasping, with tears streaming from their eyes, the criminals scrambled out the way they had come in and left tracks down the peaceful country highway that fairly sizzled. For days after the explosion the fumes of formaldehyde were so strong that a person could not breathe In Jhe vault.—Technical World Magazine. Time and Tide Wait T O P N O O n e !

WUDRL NEBUCHADNEZZAR^ %ND NECHO TOUGHT £3™™ fore the T Is written twice la the Old Testament that there was a strong: city, Carchemish, on Euphrates, when Pharaoh Necho fought with Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon; but In records of much earlier times we read of the place as a stronghold of the Hatti or Hittltes. The Egyptians reached Carchemiah, on a march to the far north (as the north seemed to them), even be- Hittltes established themselves there; for, as we have lately learned indisputably from the Boghaz Keul tablets, it was not till the early part of the 14th century B. C. that the Cappadocian Hatti poured over 'Taurus to stay. Thereafter all northeastern Syria came to be known aa Hatti Land, and so the cuneiform texts call it from the first expansion of the Nineyites westward to Euphrates, under Tlglath Pileser I., about 1100 B. C, down to the days of Nebuchadnezzar. In this Hatti Land, Carchemish always appears as the chief ^clty, the first attacked or summoned to render tribute, the richest in loot of all kinds; and moreover, as a place of much trade, for a weight-measure, used throughout Mesopotamia, was known as the maneh of Carchemish. As soon as Hlttlte history and antiquities began to attract attention, scholars discussed the probable site of Carchemish. It was evidently on the west bank of the Euphrates, not so very far from Aleppo, but south of Taurus. A large riverside site had been known at a place called Jerablus ever since the end of the seventeenth century; and when Hittite remains were reported there in the early '70s the British Museum organized a tentative exploration of its great mounds. This exploration was not very satisfactorily carried out, but It yielded results which went far to confirm the identification of the place with the long-lost Carchemish, and enriched the collection with Borne ten of the best Hlttlte reliefs and inscriptions then known. For want of proper records, however, the excavation did not equally enrich science. Three years ago I was sent to prospect the place, and when at last permission to excavate was granted by the Ottoman government, I was commIssioned to begin the campaign—in The early spring of this year. I stayed six weeks on the site, and then handed over the direction toMr. Campbell Thompson. Digging has thus been going on at Jerablus for some four months, and already we know a great deal more about the southern capital of the Hlttites than has been known since it passed out of history. Jerablus is immense, as Syrian Bites go, both in area and bulk. The space enclosed by walls, which for moat of their circuit still stand over twenty feet high, is nearly two miles In circumference, ane yet is, perhaps, only the royal city, outside of which the habitations of the commoner folk spread themselves far over the plain. The Acropolis mound, which is at the northwest of the circuit, right above Euphrates, is about a quarter of a mile long and rises a hundred and thirty feet above mean water-level. It Is magnificently placed, Just at the head of a majestic curve of the river, which sweeps down In flood time nearly a mile broad. Landward it looks over a broad, fertile plain, dotted with mounds and bounded by an arc of hills, which shining reaches of ***** i • * • * * * • #^tW/*«S KEEPING THE CEREAL FRESH T r y Putting Packages, Once Opened, Above Kitchen Range or on the Radiator. jrVri& *ri£& '-*£&' 7/f£rtWS 0/~J£M5U/J ^ol the Euphrates subtend. The view is all bare and treeless now, but one of the most attractive that I know, by reason of the changing lights under the desert sky and the unfailing fascination of the river. The excavators have found that the earliest town. pre-Hlttite and a fortiori pre-Assyiian, lay by the Euphrates b »ui£ on a rocky knoll which is the basis of the actual Acropolis. Its inhabitants had hardly got beyond the neolithic use of chipped flints and flakes of clear obsidian from inner Asia and of hand-made pottery which they burnished with pebble-polishers and decorated with Incised designs. But they were beginning_ to know bronze implements and to paint their vases when the Cappadocian Hlttites came down upon them. These built a fortress above the ruins of the early settlement, raising the mound Bomewhat, and at its landward foot constructed a royal residence. A broad flight of stone stairs led up to the Acropolis, and was approached by a spacious roadway lined with monumental reliefs and inscriptions in the peculiar Hittite script. The Jerablus stones already In the British Museum are parts of tats lining of stairs and road, and td them must now be added a dozen or more great sculptured slabs—records apparently of the exploits of a king, who appears seated before the nude goddess of his people, with an inscription by his head. On another big Blab, decorated with sixteen hands, signifying probably the number of the vanquished cities or tribes, and with three heads of royal captives, he has written what is doubtless the story of the war; and this, the longest Hittite Inscription in relief yet found, we may hope to read some day when a bilingual In cuneiform gives us the key to the Hittite script. Thus far no such bilingual has appeared, though Jerablus, site of a capital on the frontiers of the two scripts, should produce one, if one there ever was. Several fragments of cuneiform monuments have, indeed, come to light already to encourage hope Upon the Hittltes descended in due time the Assyrians. They first wrecked and then repaired the great stairway and palace, and over the Hittite fortress piled a_ huge brick erection of their own. Brick stamps show that the conqueror in 717 B. C, Sargon III, took a hand in this erection. His prefect seems to have had successors down to the dawn of the Persian epoch; but t h e r e after was d e s o 1 a tion, till s u c c e s s ors of A l e x a n d e r or forerunners of Roman occupants resettled the place in part, to be followed by a much more general settlement under the early Byzantine rule. A great temple rose on the summit of the mound, and a town with broad colonnaded streets was laid out below. By what name it was known Is uncertain. It fell at last Into ruins, was again used for mean habitations by mediaeval Arabs, and then was abandoned to the jackals. The explorations so far made have let In a flood of light on the darkness of the southern Hittltes and enriched science with most important monuments of a rare claBS, whose publicationwill excite the keenest- interest of ancient historlaus. Would that we were better able to read the new inscriptions, of which, whether In relieved or Incised characters, over half a hundred had been found before I left Carchemish, and more yet, as well as new and finer sculptures, have been brought to light by my successor. Autumn now finds us with no lack of variety in the matter of cereals that can be eaten without further cooking after they leave the factory, but they are alike in one detail, If in no other. The package once opened they quickly grow flabby and tasteless and tough, unless restored by careful drying In the oven for a few minutes. One way out there is. Keep your packages on the shelf above the kitchen range or on a*radiator. The contents will remain crisp and delicious and be truly "ready to serve" without risk of that scorching in the oven which always happens when we forget for only a moment. By the way, the sudden emergency that finds us looking for bread or cracker crumbs for dipping cutlets or croquettes, only to find the Jar empty, will lose its sharpness it we have a box of cnsp "flakes" of any sort These, crumbled between the hands, make a most delicate substitute for bread or cracker crumbs, be the need one lor coating food that is to be fried or for the top of scallops and pates. For the latter use don't forget to dot liberally with butter. They are especially tempting with creamed fish or sweetbreads when served in scallop shells. If your supply of crumbs for dipping be linJted, instead of nutting them in a dish have them on a sheet of clean brown paper. Each time a chop or cutlet is laid on them to be coated the paper can be lilted at the sides and the crumbs tumbled toward the middli. Moreover, the use of paper for this purpose saves the washing of an extra dish, f o r flouring fish try the same labor saving device, dropping the paper in the fire when it has served its turn. WEAK, ILL AND MISERABLE. MAKING ART OF NECESSITY "New Dish Every Day" Rule Made by Young Housewife, and Strictly Adhered to. "A new dish every day" was the selfimposeci rule of a young wife who found herself in possession of a cozy home and plenty of .time. The odd part of the decision was that she never cooked before in her life, but the shining new kitchen was an inspiration she could not resist, much to the delight of her husband and friends. She purchased several of the best cook books on the market, preparatory to laying a scientific foundation for her culinary education. She studied ingredients and proportions, and she uaunted newsstands for papersand magazines publishing recipes. In the end she developed into a real wizard of things culinary, and she formed a perfect passion for developing original dainties that would have sent the most blase epicures into an ecstacy of enjoyment. She had discovered that possibilities of food combinations arc practically Inexhaustible, and so is trill pursuing the rule of "something new every day," a rule entailing very little extra work and lots of enjoyment.

This deficiency renders the leg bones soft and pliant. Coupled therewith Is the known fact that such children are precocious. They wish to walk before they can stand alone. They are on their feet before the bones are hard enough to sustain them, and hence the curvature. This physical restlessness is but an evidence of a mental vigor which will not be denied. We hazard the opinion that If the truth were known it would be found that every bow-legged child ever born has wanted to go to sea. Otherwise he has wished to Join a circus or go west and fight Indians.

One of the most important elements In the success of a room designed to bo beautiful In structure and color scheme as a whole, is tho floor. Whether it is to be a more or less elaborate parquet floor, or one made simply of plain boards it must be in harmony with the color chosen for the wood trim of the room. Also, It must invariably be darker than the woodwork, it the effect of restfulness is to be preserved. A floor that strikes a higher note of color than the woodwork above it, even if it be otherwise harmonious in tone, gives the room a top-heavy, glaring effect that no furniture or decoration will remove. Also, it should be unobtrusive. If a plain, hardwood floor serves as a background for rugs not only should the floor be darker than the rest of the room, but the choice of rugs should be governed by the same requirement.

MUNYGN TELLS YOU HOW TO GET WELL FREE OF CHARGE "A few days ago I received a letter from a young man, who states be ia 28 years of age, and has occupied several in^portant positions, but owing to Indigestion and inability to sleep he has been "unable to concentrate his mind upon his work and has consequently been discharged on the ground of neglect of duty. He goes on to say that he is a young man of steady habits, but for years he has suffered from dyspepsia, which has so affected his nerves that he is unable to sleep, and that it is not neglect upon his part, nor lack of interest in the business, but simply physical weakness. He asks my advice In this matter. "For the benefit of a large number of those BtaHarfy situated I propose to answer this letter publicly, hoping that It may be the means of helping many who may be affected in this way. "In the first place, the stomach must be made well before the nerves can be xnade strong. The nerves must be made strong before one can sleep well. No one is capable of doing his best who is in any way troubled with Insomnia or any form of nervousness. The greatest generals have been men of iron nerve and Indomitable will. They have had perfect digestion, being able to eat well, and digest ail they ate. "It is said that Napoleon lost the battle of.JFftterJjQQ,- because at a. fit of indigestlon. Grant's enormous reserve power was due to a well stomach: Abraham Lincoln said that 'he did not know that he had a stomach.' Grover Cleveland, it Is saHU could work 18 hours a day, eat a hearty meal at 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, go to bed and sleep soundly until 9 o'clock and get up refreshed, ready for a new day'B work. "Pres. Taft is another type of healthy manhood. Who thinks for one moment that he would be the President of the "United States today had he been a dyspeptic or affected with some nervous ailment? . I claim that two-thirds of all the failures in professional and business life are due to weak and deranged stomachs. "No business house would care to employ a dyspeptic representative to sell poods for them on the road. One-half the men who stand behind counters today, earning from $12 to $15 a week, will never get beyond these figures, for the Teason that they are physically weak. They lack the nerve power and commanding strength that come from a good, sound stomach. **No one cares to hear a dyspeptic preacher. No matter how pious he may be, he Is bound to reflect his bilious and Jaundiced condition. He will unconsciously inoculate his hearers with his melancholy feelings. "No one would think of entrusting an Important legal case in the hands of a dyspeptic lawyer, any more than he would care to entrust his own life, or that of a dear one, in the hands of a physician who is nervous, Irritable or a dyspeptic Men must have good digestion, strong nerves and vital manhood In order to render a clean, clear-out decision either In medicine, law or business. "I believe that more than half of the divorces can be traced to ill health. I want every dyspeptic to try my stomach treatment, for it corrects nearly all forms of indigestion and nervousness. It makes oldnstomacha almost as Rood as new. Its marvelous power for digesting food and getting the best out of it makes for good rich, red blood. This, in turn, strengthens the nerves, builds up the general system, and will surely prolong life and make it a pleasure to live and do the things allotted to us."

Lesson in Good Maners. When the "Boy Scouts" movement "was'at its height, three of the youngsters journeyed from Baltimore to Washington to be introduced to the president. When Mr. Taft shook hands with them, one.of the little fellows stuck /out his left hand. "Why do you give me your left hand?" asked the president. "That's the way us Boy Scouts shake hands," said the boy, with pride. "Well," commented Mr. Taft dryly, "the sooner us Boy Scouts learn better the nicer us Boy Scouts will be."—The Twice-a-Month Popular Magazine. Exits From Every Room.

Tr^gPA CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS P""o trtflyy *Bo fn*t sb"fe . staate must bear Signature T Methods of Calf Raising By H. W. NORTON, Michigan Experiment Station Calves Being Raised for Breeding Stock Should Be Kept Healthy and Growthy, Not Fat. The calf may be allowed to suck its dam a few times or for the first day or so, but should (hen be put in a separate pen. If the calf is strong and the cow's udder is in good condition, it la best to separate them the first of second day. If the calf is weak, it is better to leave it with the cow, as it will feed oftener and grow stronger, or if the_jrow's udder is inflamed, the calf will helpsto bring It back to proper condition. In any case the calf should be given the first milk or colostrum, as it has a stimulating and corrective effect upon the system. The first few days it is best to feed the calf three times a day, though it is not absolutely necessary. The milk should be fed in a clean pail, directly after milking, while still at body temperature. For an averr. ;e sized calf, weighing 70 to 75 pour, i at birth, 8 to 10 pounds a day, divu. d equally between the feeding pericc. begin with. The a. increased gradually taken to avoid over-feeding. At end of two weeks the calf may , is sufficient to ount fed should be and great care the be given 12 to 16 pounds daily, divided equally between the morning and night feeds. In case scours develop, the feed should be reduced immediately, cutting down at least one-half, and, if necessary; medical treatment resorted to. The time for beginning the substitution \ot skim milk in place of the whole milk will vary, depending upon condition. Whole milk feeding is necessarily- expensive, and should trot be continued longer than necessary to produce good results. When feeding for dairy heifers to be kept and grown on the farm, the skim-milk supply may begin at two or three weeks of age, but where it is desired to produce heavier weights at an early age, it is better to feed whole milk up to four or five weeks before starting the substitution. The change should be made gradually so that the calf's stomach may adjust itself to the different conditions without trouble. Begin by placing one pound of whole milk with an equal amount of skim-milk at each feed the first day, and replace two pounds, the second day, and so on. The amount of skimmed milk may be increased to 20 pounds per day, bue more than this is not profitable. When it is two or three weeks old the calf can be taught to eat a little grain by throwing 4 handful in the pall after it has finished drinking the milk. The grain should not be put in the milk as the calf will swallow it with the milk without much mastication and it will not be properly digested. The calf will soon) learn to look for the grain, and at five or six weeks of age should be eating a pound or so a day. A good grain mixture for feeding in this way may be made of three parts of corn meal, three parts ground oats, one part bran and one part oil cake, by weight and the amount fed should be increased gradually so as to allow from one-half to one pound per 100 pounds weight of the calf. This is liberal feeding, and should keep the calf In good condition and give good gains. Lighter feeding may be followed in many cases with good results and less cost, as in raising dairy heifers on the farm. Hay feeding should be started along with the grain. Alfalfa, if it is available, or good, bright clover hay of fine quality, is best for calves. It is a good plan at haying time to select some of the best and finest of the clover and put it aside, especially for • ^ CURRANT AND GOOSEBERRY B r O. I. GREGG, Aatiitant Hortieoltorist Mte&igia Agricultural College The currant and gooseberry, commonly known as grossels, are among the Important Bmall fruits to be grown on every farm or small fruit garden. Their care is simple and for this reason are not given as careful attention as they really should have In order to get good results. For a farmer's fruit garden one dozen plants of each is generally sufficient, as they are but little used fresh, their principal use being for preserves and jelly. They are rather easily propagated. The young shoots one foot in length If planted deep in a nursery row in late fall so that their tips are above ground a large proportion will take root the following season and can be permanently planted the second spring. They should be planted 4x5 feet, and better 6x6 feet apart. They should be kept cultivated throughout the summer similarly to raspberries. They thrive in a cool, rather damp soil, and a heavy soil is mnch better than a light soil. Unlike the brambles the grossels have small fruit spurs on old wood which produce fruit year after year. They also bear fruit on the previous season's growths from lateral buds. On this account the pruning of the grossels is entirely different from that of the other small fruits. But little pruning is necessary the first few years. After four years of growth, however, they should bo craned regularly stary year. I n ' pruning all branches over four years I of age should be removed, at these become too old to form good large fruit At the tame time all branches rjtaz oa the around, those attacked with borers, broken or interlacing Jptaefeee. should be, removed. There that Tbeee should be reaored exeept calf feeding. Alfalfa and the clovers, especially the former, are very rich in protein, the most essential element for growth and development of the body. Hay feeding should be increased gradualTy^^ tHte-the-gTa.in^Jmtthe-calveamay be fed all they will eat up clean. Silage and rootsjmay be included in the ration with good results, but should not be fed until the skim-milk ration is well established, and should be dropped from the feed In case scours develop. Fall calves may be turned on grass in the spring as soon as possible, but some grain feeding should be continued even then, depending upon the condition of the pasture. The calves should have access to water after they are three or four months old, as the milk furnished will not be sufficient for them to drink, and during hot weather, especially, they will drink considerable quantities of water in addition to the milk. three or four of the best and strongest ones left distributed about the bush to take the place of some old branch that is to be taken out soon. An ideal currant or gooseberry bush should, therefore, be symmetrical, made up of two or three shoots four years old, the same number of threeyear- old branches and possibly more of one or two-yea* shoots to allow for an extra number that might be broken or diseased. If properly taken care of, cultivated, pruned and supplied with a mulch of manure each year, a sure crop will result There are several varieties, but among currants the London Market is a very prolific, hardy and desirable variety and although not as large as the cherry currants, as Fays Prolific, is as desirable SB any variety. Among the gooseberries the Downing takes the lead, being planted more extensively in Michigan than all other varieties put together. Ploek Should Be Well Fed In Fall. The success of the lamb crop in the spring depends a great deal upon the health of the flock during the breeding season and upon the condition in which they go into the winter feeding pens. Good condition can be assured by furnishing some succulent-pasture, such as rape, during the season when pastures are dry and bare. This has been done in some places by seeding rape in the oats at such a time that It will produce forage in the oat stubble after harvest. •elect Seed Corn Before Cutting. The best time to select seed core is while the corn it still standing in the field. At that time not only the ear but the stalk can be seen and the maturity an* character of the whole plant can be judged. A liberal quantity of ears shoukl be selected to allow for those which will be discarded by the termination test in the spring.

"ECZEMA ITCHED SO BADLY I COULDN'T STAND IT." "I suffered with eczema on my neck for about six months, beginning by little pimples breaking out. 1 kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about a month, then I went to a doctor and got some liquid to take. It seemed as if I was going to get better. The itching stopped#for about three days, but when it started again, was even worse than before. The eczema itched so badly I couldn't stand it any more. "I went to a doctor and he gave me some medicine, but didn't do any good. We have been having Cuticura Remedies in the house, so I decided to try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so I got me a box of Cuticura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times a day, and then put t*e Cuticura Ointment on. The first day I put it on, it relieved me of itching so I could sleep all that night. It took about a week, then I could see the scab come off. I kept the treatment up for three weeks, and my eczema was cured. "My brother got his face burned with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The people all thought he would have scars, but you can't see that he ever had his face burned. It was simply awful to look at before the Cuticura Remedies (Soap and Ointment) cured it."

HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT Fraternal Orders, Labor Unions and Insurance Companies Erect Tuberculosis Sanitoria. As an investment in the health of their members, four large fraternal orders, two-international labor unions aud ono of the largest insurance companies In the United States have esliehed sanitoria for the treatment of tuberculosis, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and- Preventrdn of Tuberculosis. The Royal League, the first fraternal order to establish a sanatorium, conducts a hospital for its tuberculosis members at Black Mountain. The Modern Woodmen of America conduct one at Colorado Springs; the Workmen's Circle, one at Liberty, N. Y., and the Independent Order of Foresters have one at Rainbow Lake, N. Y., and will soon open a second one at San Francisco, Cal. The International Typographical union has since 1898 conducted a sanatorium at Colorado Springs, and the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of America has recently opened a new institution at Rogersvllle, Tenn. A leading life insurance company is now erecting a sanatorium at Mt. McGregor, N. Y„ which will be the first of Its kind established by an "old line" insurance company. The Simple Life.

There are plenty of men who are running autos who should be driving ox teams and vice versa, bat all men should not be treated that way. \ The law says that when a man is overtaken by a fasler vehicle, the man diiving the slower vehicle shall tarn oat and give half of the beaten path.

Owners of unrecorded mortgages on which a portion of the- principal has been paid, will save money by bringing them out for record and paying th9 tax prior to January 1, 1912, according to an opinion the attorney-general has handed down. It is held by Attorney-General Kuhn that unless such mortgages are recorded and the tax paid as provided by the new specific tax law, these documents may be' taxed, after January 1, for the fall amount of the principal, regardless of the amount which has been paid. •verts Awftl Trafedy Timely advice given Mrs. C.

It is simplicity itself—even a boy can operate and care for the Cartercar without injuring it in the least. This wonderful simplicity combined with extra strong working parts insure absolute reliability. The Cartercar is ready all the time—day or night—for the signal to go. The Cartercar is powerful—by that is meant that it will climb almost any hill, even a 50 per cent grade, and will g o throdghvery bad, muddy or sandy roads- The farmer can drive his Cartercar out in stubble fields, or pastures, across brooks, and he knows that his car will always go right along. The remarkable pulling power of the Cartercar is because of the efficient friction transmission. This is merely a friction disc which runs against a fibre-laced wheel— the relative position regulating the speed of the car. There is no crashing of gears— the speed being changed easily and noiselessly. The Cartercar driver has any number of speeds and THEY ARE ALL CONTROLLED BY ONE LEVER. The Cartercar will speed along brushing everything on the road—or will creep along behiud a flock of sheep or drove of cattle, uever crowding or rushing them. This wonderful easy control makes the Cartercar ideal for the ladies to drive. The few parts make it very easy for them to learn to operate it—and prevents them getting frightened. Tbe easy control is supplemented by very strong brakes. In addition to these regular brakes the driver also has the friction reverse, which makes it the safest car on the market today. The t'rictiou reverse is only available on friction driven cars. Another excellent feature of the Cartelcar is the Chain-lD-OU Drive^ The chain runs continually in a heavy oil—and the chain case being grit and sand tight, practically all wear on the chain is prevented. The elegance and remarkably attractive appearance of the Cartercar also makes a very strong appeal to the farmer. A glance at the above cut will conviuce you of its beauty. The extra heavy upholsteriug on the seats makes it almost an impossibility for a person to tire while riding in the Cartercar. Think over these facts we have 'given and see if they answer the requirements you would 'make of an automobile. We know that when you understand the Cartercar you will be as enthusiastic as we are. Let us send you complete information regarding this ideal car for the country man. v A Personal Invitation to Y o u , M r . Farmer — I want to personlly invite every reader of this advertisement to visit me here at the Detroit Branch of the Cartercar Company, and I will be very glad to explain carefully every detail of the Cartercar construction. I met thousands of farmers at the State Fair and after [ had shown them -the Cartercar an astonishingty large number of them went home with cars. Write me when you will arrive and I will meet you at the Interurban or railway station with a Cartercar, and show you over the city, giving you' an opportunity to study the qualities of the car in the most practical manner. When you write tell me the style of car you are interested in aad I will try to have that car at the station for you.

I returned to America a year and a half ago, after an absence of twelve years In Europe. I stopped In New, York at a hotel opposite Grace church, and after securing quarters I walked up Broadway to Fourteenth street. It •as the midday meal hour, and the streets were thronged with all sorts and conditions of men, and yet not one word of English did I hear spoken from Tenth to Fourteenth streets. The first impression stunned me and I found myself in a dazed condition, unable to adjust myself to my surroundings, and actually doubting the reality of the scene about me. I walked on to Union square. The benches were full of men and women; and as I passed by them I listened, but no werd of our national tongue did I hear, and I returned to my hotel wondering what it all meant. The next day was Sunday and I spent the afternoon In Bronx park. I arrived by the Third Avenue elevated, entered at the eastern gate and walked through the park to the Botanical gardens. The park was full of people, young and old. I asked my way six times and in every case save one was answered in a foreign voice, and in two cases in a foreign tongue. Even the officials, those at least to whom 1 spoke, were of foreign origin.—Monroe Royce, "The Passing of the American."

For some years tne tendency of young men seeking higher education ha* been toward law and medicine. Schools of these professions have Increased in number and the Held* ol occupation have become more overcrowded, says the Omaha Bee. Certain1 new tendencies In Industry and the science of treating human Ills are at work which suggest the possibility of a change in the drift of the educational current. Public and private enterprise are enlisted in a movement to work out new cures for old deseases and Improve sanitation throughout the country. Vast progress has been, and more will be, made. Along with this, though distinctly apart from it, goes the effort of the government and private capital to harness nature for the needs of Industry; to open up Irrigation and water-power plants for agricultural and Industrial purposes. The New York Times invites to the new fields of scientific service the attention of young men contemplating finished educations. They are. undoubtedly, prolific of opportunities. What will the effect be In these two channels? Will the current be diverted from law and medicine to that of technical or sanitary engineering? How rapidly the aeroplane Is becoming practically useful Is shown by the plan of the English poBtoffice department to Install Immediately an aerial post between London and Windsor and the report that the French postal officials intend to employ the hydroaeroplane for delivering mall from incoming steamships, says the Chicago Record-Herald. Not more than two years ago men of affairs and scientists eaw little possibility of the heavierthan- alr machines becoming more than a means of sport There seems not much to be gained in time In sending letters by aeroplane between London and Windsor, but the experiment will doubtless lead to the establishment of other lines If successful. The distance Is only 21 miles, and It Is expected that the trip will take about half an hour. A railway express train could travel as quickly. As regards the transfer of malt rrom steamships, there seem greater possibilities; several hours may be gained.

By having ferry steamers on which an entire train could be transported, all the annoyance, expense and waste ol time could be avoided. Italy has declared war on Turkey. The official announcement was made late Friday. It declared that the two countries were in a state of war beginning at half-past 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, Sept, 29. This is the hour at which the Italian ultimatum to Turkey expired. The announcement followed a session of the cabinet at which the Turkish reply was considered and found unsatisfactory. Italy will provide for the safety of Italians and all other foreigners in Tripoli and Cyrene& using to this end all the means at her disposal. The blockade of the entire coast of Tripoli and Cyrenaica will beu ndertaken Immediately and a notification of this act will be sent to all neutral powers. The Turkish ambassador was given his passports by the Italian government on his request for them just before the official declaration of war. Me had been directed, l>y_h]s_soj£exnj_ nTeiiT to ileniandthem. Though every indication pointed to to n declaration of war by the_..royal government, there was always a possibility that the good offices of other governments would be ruccessful in averting hostilities, and when the final decision of the cabinet was announced the excitement throughout the country was intense. Signor Dl San Glulano, minister of state, received the Turkish reply from the Turkish ambassador and immediately went into conference with his associates in the ministry. It is understood 'the Ottoman government completely conceded Italy's economic claims In Tripoli, but evaded the direct answer demanded by this government, which had set forth in its ultimatum that Turkey must say that she would not resist the proposed occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. Instead the porte sent a conciliatory note suggesting further delay. It was known that at the same time Turkey transmitted a note to the powers in which it is assumed that she represented herself as the injured party, and, by inference at least, sought their Intervention. The royal government decided to stand absolutely by the ultimatum, Rnd in the absence of the reply called for, to declare Italy and Turkey in state of war from the hour that the 24 hours allowed expired.

President Taft faced the middle west with, an appeal to check unjust prejudice against the business enterprise of the country. In an address in Waterloo on the relation of the government to the business of the country which he delivered here late this afternoon before an outdoor audience of several thousand people, the president said that the people of every section and class of this country were all in the same boat, and that to persist in sectional vindictiveness against the prosperity of another section of the country WQuld enforce business prostration throughout the land as surely as night follows day.

BURST3 ONE MILE NORTH OF AUSTIN, PA. NEARLY 1,000 ARE DEAD, 2,000 PERSONS ARE HOMELESS. Fire, Sweeps the Ruins and Scores That Were Spared by the Rushing Torrents Are Buried Alive. Austin, a town of 3,200 residents, in the northern part of Pennsylvania, was swept out of existence and more than S00 of its people were killed by a flood which followed the breaking of the Bayless Pulp & Paper company's dam, a mile and a half north of the town. Almost 500,000,- 000 gallons of water rushed over the place in a wall 10 feet high, wrecking every structure in its path. The bursting of scqres of natural gas mains, as the buildings were swept away, added fire to the general horror of the flood, and hundreds of those imprisoned in the wreckage were burned to death. The catastrophe paralleled in many respects the destruction by flood of Johnston, Pa., in 1889. in which over 2,000 lives were lost. The extent of the loss of life and the destruction of~ property cannorbXTTnown for several days. The property loss will surely be several millions of dollars. The food supplies of the town were destroyed and immediate aid to survivors was urgent. Hundreds of those who escaped were seriously injured in the collapse of their homes and the panic of the rush for safety. Within an hour of the first general knowledge of the calamity, special trainB bearing physicians, nurses and food supplies were on the way to the scene. Hundreds of automobiles bearing rescuers also toiled over the rough and tortuous«, mountain roads to lend aid. Temporary hospitals were fitted up in nearby farm houses and improvised structures fashioned from the wreckage. The Red Cross also made preparations for immediate ^id to survivors. The intense heat of fire sweeping from the natural gas mains made it impossible for rescuers to visit the scene of destruction for many hours, Looters were among the first on the ground and Governor Tener dispatched a large force of state police to the town to protect the victims. A telephone .message from Austin estimates the loss of life at 1,000. The dam held back a huge mass of water. It was 530 feet Ions. 49 feet high and 32 feet at the base and was of concrete. On January 21, 1909, a crack was noticed in the dam. Then_JOllQWed » TPBIT anH pnrHotmthe dam moved 16 inches. Repairs were made, but the fears of many that the repairs were "not stable were realized when the break came. «*--, To Boost Upper Peninsula. If the resources of the upper peninsula are not well known throughout the whole country within the next year, it will not be the fault of those 200 boosters who were the guests of the Board of Commerce, of Detroit. Word has just reached Detroit that" they have raised a big sum of money to be expended In,, advertising the northern peninsula, The boosters have had the soil of the upper peninsula thoroughly examined by the state geogolist and by other authorities. As a result they have learned that there are over seven million acres of fertile land there. They are not going to let this matter remain a secret. The Upper Peninsula Development Bureau, whose president is T. A. Green of Ontonagon, and whose manager is T. E. Quinby, is raising $50,- 000 to exploit their country. Practically all this amount has been raised and plans have been perfected for a big display of the products of northern Michigan at the Chicago land show. All Big Copper Mines to Merge. A number of Influential copper magnates of England and America are making an inspection tour of the mines in Arizona, and it is stated on excellent authority that a merger is in progress of the various copper companies of the country.

American Society of ^Municipal Improvements, In seasloff in Grand Rapids, elected E. A. Kfngsley, of Little Rock, Ark., president; Edward H. Christ, Grand Rapids, second vicepresident; Prescqtt FolwelL .New York, secretary. Dallas, Tex., secured the 1912 convention. UNION MAYOR DEFEATED, _ * '> P. H. McCarty is Beaten In S»n Francisco by James Rclph, Open Shop Man. James Rolphr "open shop" candidate of San Francisco, was elected mayor at the primary election by an overwhelming majority, wtih a total vote of about 75,000. According toearly returns Rolph has secured 55,- 000, while Mayor McCarthy's vote isless than 20,000. It was charged against McCarthy's: administration that he has gone to* extremes in his liberal views and that San Francisco is too much of an "open town" from the point of view of amusement and entertainment. Dearly as San Franciscans love their night life features, their cafes,, dance halls and tenderloin freedom it is held by many that McCarthy has overdone the matter in making San Francisco "The Paris of America." Another argument advanced against McCarthy—and this is doubtless the chief one—is that the rule oi the unions has become so autocratic that capital has become tintfid. Following the religious movement started in Grand Rapids, 3,000 employes in different factories, offered prayers during lunch hour for the success of the men. THE MARKETS I I V K STOCK.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a bor- |<der plainsman, 1s riding along the Santa Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war parties of aavagea. He notices a camp fire at a distance and then sees a team Attached to a wagon and at full g*au°P pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victiiys finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait He resolves to hunt down the murderers. Keith la arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, hJs accuser being a ruffian named Black Bsyt He goes to Jail fully realising the iierll of swift border Justice. A •companion 1n his cell Is a negro, who tells him he Is Neb and that he knew the Keith family back in Virginia. 'Neb says one of the murdered men was John Sibley, the other Gen. Willis Walte. formerly aij officer in the Confederate army. The plainsman and Neb escape from the •cell, and later the two fugitives become lost in the sand desert. They come upon A cabin and find its lone occupant to be a young girl, whom Keith recognises as a singer he saw at Carson City. The girl explains that she came there In search of a brother who had deserted from the army. A Mr. Hawley Induced her to come to .the cabin while ha sought.„to.jQr cats tier brottrer.Hawley appears, ai.i Keith In hiding recognizes him as Black Bart- Hawley tries to make love to the girl. There is a terrific battle In the darkened room in which Keith overcomes Black Bart. Horses are appropriated, and the girl who says that her name is Hope, Joins in the escape. Keith explains his situation and the fugitives make for Fort learned. CHAPTER X I I I . - ( C o n t i n u e d . ) It was noon, the sun pitiless and not above them, before they straggled •within the partial shelter of the sand <iunee, and sank wearily down to their meager lunch. Their supply of water -was limited, and the exhausted ponies must wait until J h e y reached the river t o quench their t h i r s t Yet this was Tery far off now, and Keith had seen •enough of their surroundings to locate the position of the ford. Slow as they must proceed, three hours more would •urely bring them to the bank of the -stream. They discussed their plans briefly as t h e . t h r e e Bat together on t h e warm sand, revived both by the food and the brief rest. There was not a great deal to be determined, /only where the girl should be left, and how the two men had better proceed t o escape observation. Fort Lamed was the nearest and safest place for their charge, none of the party expressing any desire to adventure themselves within the immediate neighborhood of Carson City. What her future platrnrmighr^bewerenot revealed, and Keith forebore any direct questioning. His duty plainly ended with placing her in a safe environment, and he felt convinced that Mrs. Murphy, of the Occidental Hotel, would furnish room, and, if necessary, companionship. The sole problem remaining— after she had rather listlessly agreed to such an arrangement— was to so plan the details as to permit t h e negro and himself to slip through t h e small town clustered about the post without attracting undue attention. No doubt, the story of their escape had already reached there, embellished by telling, and serious trouble might result from discovery. Keith was surprised at the slight Interest she exhibited In these arrangements, merely signifying her acquiescence by a word, but he charged It to physical •weariness, and the reaction from her night of peril; yet he took pains to •explain fully his plan, and to gain her consent This finally settled, they mounted again and rode on through the lanes traversing the sand dunes, keeping tieaded as straight as possible toward the river. The ford sought was some miles down stream, but with the horses' thirst mitigated, they made •excellent progress, and arrived at the spot early in the evening. Not in all the day had they encountered a living object, or seen a moving thing amid the surrounding desolation. Now, looking across to the north, a few gleaming lights told, of Fort Lamed perched upon the opposite bluffs. - i* . .*•» CHAPTER XIV. The Landlady of the Occidental. Keith had crossed at this point so frequently with cattle that, once having his bearings, the blackness of the night made very little difference. Nevertheless, In fear lest her pony might stumble over some irregularity, he gave bit own rein to Neb, and went forward on foot, grasping firmly the tired animal's bit It was a long etreteh of sand and water extending from bank to bank, but the water was shallowr the only danger being that of straying off from the more solid bottom into quicksand. With a tower* teg eottonwood as guide, oddly misshapen and standing out gauntly against the slightly lighter sky, the plainsman led on unhesitatingly, until they began to climb the rather sharp uplift of the north bank, Bare there was a plain trail, pounded into smooth* ness by the hoofs of cavalry horses ridden down to water, and at the sum- Bftft they emerged within fifty yards of the stables. , The few lights risible,; some stationary, with others dancing about like wJfroVtbe-wiaps, revealed tmperfectlj tJis, contour jsf various buildings, but Keittturned sharply to the right an*. Sens to alio past without betag coal* tengsdtr* sentry.^ Beyond the brwv •**** atu* wlber lights visible, flickering here and there, marking where a straggling town had sprung up under the protection of the post—a town garish enough in the daylight, composed mostly of shacks and tents, but now with its deficiencies mercifully concealed by the enveloping darkness. The trail, easily followed, led directly along its single street, but Keith circled the outskirts through a wilderness of tin-cans and heaps of other debris, until he halted bis charges beside the black shadow of the only two-story edifice in the place. This was the Occidental, the hospitality of which he had frequently tested. A light streamed from out the front windows, but, uncertain who might be harbored within. Keith tapped gently at the back door. It was not opened immediately, and when it was finally shoved aside the merest crack, interior. The voice which spoke, however, was amply sufficient to Identify its owner. "Is that ye agin, Murphy, a playln' av yer dirthv thricks?" "No, Mrs. Murphy," he hastened to explain, "this is Keith—Jack Keith, of the 'Bar X.' " "The Lord deliver u s ! " was the instant exclamation, the door opening wide. "They do be afther tellin* me to-night av the throuble ye was In over at Carson, an' 01 fought maybe ye m eight turn up _thisjwayJ__ _lL_waSturn up huntln' her. Ol'd loike ter take one slap at the spalpane." Fully convinced as to Mrs. Murphy's good-will, Keith slipped back Into the darkness, and returned with the girl. Introductions were superfluous, as the mistress of the Occidental cared little' regarding ceremony. "An* is this you, my dear?" she burst out, endeavoring to curb her voice to secretive softness. "Shure, Jack Keith has told me all about it, an' it's safe it 1B yer goin' ter be here. Come on In; Oi'll give ye number forty-two, thet's next behint me own room, an' we'll go up the back sthalrs. Hilp the young loldy, Jack, fer shure ye know the way." She disappeared, evidently with some hospitable purpose in view, and Keith, clasping the girl's hand, undertook the delicate task of safely escorting her through the dark kitchen, and no_glow oi light revealed the dari»ned\l.up_the_.dimly-r«me a word or two passed between them, but as they neared the second story a light suddenly streamed out through the opened door of a room at their left Mrs. Murphy greeted them at the landing, and for the first time saw the girl's weary white face, her eyes filled with appeal, and the warm Irish heart responded instantly. 'he poor little lamb; It's the bid ye want, an' a dhrap o' whiskey. Jaqk Keith, why didn't ye till me she was done up wld the hard ride? Here, honey, sit down in the rocker till 01 _get_.ye._a. wee dhrlnk. It'll,, bring: t h e 'Shure It's Safe It Is Ver Qoln' Ter Be Here." a nate trick ye played on the lolkes av *em, Jack, but this is a dom poor place fer ye ter hide in. Bedad, there's a hatf-dosen in the parly now talkie' about It, wld a couple av officers from the fort Is the nager wld yef* "Yes, but we have no intention.of hiding here. I'd rather take my chance in the open. The fact is, Kate, we started off for the "Bar XL'" MAv course, ye did; 01 was shuro av It" "But down on the Salt Fork we ran across a young girl whom Black Bart had Inveigled down that way on a lie. We bad a bit of a fight and got her away from him. This Is what brought us back here—to put the girl where she will be safe out of his clutches." The door was wide open now, and Mrs. Murphy outside, her Interest at fever heat "Ye had a folght wid Black Bart! Oh, ye divil! An' ye licked the dlrthy spaipane, an' got away wld his gyurlt Glory be! And would 01 take her? Well, 01 would. Niver doubt that me bye. She miry be the quane av Shaba, an' the may be a Digger Injun Squaw, but the lolkes av him had better kape away from Kate Murphy. It's glad Of am ter do It! Bring her In. 01 don't want ter hear, no more." "Just a word. Kate; I don't know whether ahe has any money or not, but HI pay her bill, as soon ss H is safe for me to come back." .. -1 "Oh, the dim take bet btlL nave the best In the house, annyi anv Ofttt only nopia' that fellow roses back to the cheeks av ye." She was gone, bustling down the dark stairs, and the two were alone in the room, the girl looking up Into his face, her head resting against the cushioned back of the chair. He thought he saw a glimmer of tears in the depths of her lash-shaded eyes, and her round white throat seemed to choke. "You will be perfectly secure here," he said, soothingly, "and can remain as long as you please. Mrs. Murphy will guard you as though you were her owu daughter. She is a bit rough, maybe, but a big-hearted woman, and despises Hawley. She nursed me ouce through a touch of typhoid—yes, by Jove," glancing about in sudden recognition, "and in this very room, too." The girl's glance wandered over the plain, neat furnishings, and the rather pathetic attempts at decoration, yet with apparently no thought for them. "You—you have not told me where you were going." He laughed, a little uneasily, as though he preferred to make light of the whole matter. "Really, I have hardly decided, the world is so wide, and I had no reason to suppose you interested." "But I am interested," resenting his tone of assumed Indifference. "I would not want to feel that our acquaintance was to wholly end now." "Do you really mean that?" "Why should I not? You have been a real friend to me; I shall remember you always with a gratitude beyond words. I want you to know this, and that—that I shall ever wish to retain that friendship." Keith struggled with himself, doubtful of what he had best say, swayed by unfamiliar emotions. •, "You may be sure I shall never forget," he blurted forth, desperately, "and, if you really wish It, I'll certainly see you again." "I dOj-HBarnestly. "Then, I'll surely n»d a way. I don't know now which direction we will ride, but I'm not going very far until I clear up that murder out yonder on the trail; that is my particular Job just now." Before she could answer, Mrs. Murphy re-entered and forced her to drink the concoction prepared, the girl accepting with smiling protest. The landlady, empty glass In hand, swept her eyes about the room. "Bedad, but the place looks betther than iver Oi'd belaved, wld the gyurl Oi've got tlndln" to it. She's that lazy she goes ter slape swapin' the flure. Jack, would ye moind hllpln' mo move the bid; shure, It's rale mahogany, an" so heavy it breaks me back intoirely to push it 'round." He took -hold -W-llUngly-enoughr-a»d the two together ran the heavy contrivance across the room to the position selected. Once a leg caught In the rag carpet, and Keith lifted It o u t bending low to get a firmer grip. Then he held out his hand to the girl. "It is not going to be good-bye then, Miss Hope; I'll find you." smiled up into his-eycs,' muchr of the weariness gone from her face. "I am going to believe that," she answered, gladly, "because I want to." Mrs. Murphy lingered until his steps sounded on the Btalrs, as ho Blowly felt his way down through the darkness. "He do be a moighty foine bye, Jack Keith," she said, apparently addressing the side wall. "Oi wish Oi'd a knowed him whin 01 was a gyurl; shure, it's not Murphy me noime'd be how, Oi'm t'inkin'." Left alone, the girl bowed her head on her hands, a hot tear stealing down through her Angers. As she glanced up again, something that glittered on the floor beside the bed caught her eyes. She stopped and picked It up, holding the trinket to the light, staring at it as though fascinated. It was the locket Keith had taken from the neck of the dead man at Cimmaron Crossing. Her nerveless fingers pressed the spring, and the painted face within looked up into her own, and still clasping It within her hand, she sank upon her knees, burying her face on the bed. "Where did he get that?" her lips kept repeating. "Where did he ever get that?" (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Will science "ever" solve* that Ttd=--some change i n the distribution of the die? Will it heed "The Sphinx" in Emerson's famous poem who bade the eager questioner behold himself, the" answer and the question, too? Incredible as It may seem, scientists are even now doing: that very thing. In the near future you and I should be prepared to hear them announce most learnedly and sententiously the rediscovery of the human soul. Here and there, in hospital laboratories widely scattered, men of science are groping into the mystery. Like the mediaeval scientists who lived in dread of the ban of Mother Church, they are mostly working secretly and are not telling half they know. For science, that marvellous machine of modern progress, has its church, too, aa tt were; its orthodoxy and lta heterodoxy; Its hierarchy of established rulers who excommunicate and set autoa-da-fe for expounders of heresies. So far the evidence these bold Investigators have unearthed Is chiefly negative, yet nevertheless highly significant In the first place, one of them found that physical death Is accompanied by a sudden loss of bodily weight varying from three-quarters of aa ounce to nearly an ounce and a quarter. Some carious experiments of this ktfid were" made l>y Dr. Duncan MacDougall, oLHaverhill, >fass. His first subject was a man dying of tuberculosis. He selected a patient dying from this dlaeaae because so great an exhaustion characterises Its final stages that death occurs with little or no muscular movement. With a patient quiet, the beam of the scales can be kept true and any loss occurring will be evidenced. In this experiment the pattest/Was lying on a bed arranged . on a light framework which was built on «try delicately balanced platlprm tesiJe*. He was under observation" three boors and forty minutes before death:'lie lost weight slowly at the rate of an ounce aa hour, due to the evaporation of breath moisture and perspiration. Keenly the physician watched the fading hours and minutes of the almost spent life. And then—suddenly, coincident with death—the beam end of the scales dropped with an audi- We stroke, hitting against the lower bar and remaining there with no rebound! The scales registered an in- , slant loea of three-quarters of an ounce. What had gone? It could not have been evaporation of sweat, he decided, for ti at had slowly left the body at the rate of a tiny fraction of an ounce a minute, whereas the sudden lots at death had been many times aa great It coaid not A r e been, further tests satisfied the Vttor, the air in the lung*. ^ I * .

What color tbe soul might assume, what space It covered in relation to the body, whether it emanated from the lips or from the head alone—these were some of the momentous questions he thought to settle forever. But neither the pure white light nor the spectrum bands told aught of the body's departing guest. That it showed no refraction to light was not, after all, surprising. There is one substance or force in the universe that is totally devoid of light refraction, and that is the interstellar ether, the wonderful, perfectly traaspeirent medium in which light itself moves unchecked and unbent What if the soul were ether? While the revolutionary theory of the BOUI as an actual existence* of ether or ether-like substance was setting tongues wagging in Boston, a pupil of the famous Dr. Walter J. Kllner of London, was performing experiments Just as marvelous in Chicago. Doctor Kllner Is a believer in the human aura. He holds that every human being is surrounded by an envelope of a peculiar kind of light which follows and Incloses every contour of the form. Thus another lmaglned_ myth=thehalo and -encircling glory that the superstitious ages attributed to the saints—may be demonstrated by a queer scientific reversal as a solid reality. miner's pupil In Chicago Is Doctor Patrick S. O'Donnell. He had from his master a set of Blides specially designed to make auras visible. These are merely bits of glass glued together with a solution, more or less concentrated, of a dark blue dye termed dlcyanin. The observer first looks at his subject through a stronger glass, and then when he has Identified the aura aa a nebulous haze surrounding the subject he transfers to a weaker glass with lest blue pigment, which shows him the aura as "a distinct bluish gray ring extending completely around the body." After the eye has thus been accommodated to the extreme limit of its vision, the lenses can be dispensed with altogether and the unaided, naked sight will discern by itself the aura's bluish glow. Doctor O'DonnelTs first demonstration was merely to establish the fact of the aura to doubting Thomases. Twelve prominent Chicago physicians and Six sisters of the Mercy hospital witnessed the trials. Most of them <tald the demonstration was a complete success and that they saw distinctly the bands of light encircling the bodies of the girl art models who had consented to pose. Each aura was visible in three parts. First next to the body, a dark band a quarter of an inch wide, which is known aa the etheric double; secondly, the inner aura or band of light, and finally the outer aura. When one of the physicians drew his hand along the undraped figure of the subject the aura followed It 81tter De Lourdes noticed there were distinct bands of light between the doctor's finger tips and the body of the model under observation. Withdrawal of the hand seemed to pull the color like putty away from the body, canting a decided change of shape in .the aura, which, however, toon returned lta original position. Curious aa all this ^ it forma but a'prelude to the truly extraordinary experiment Doctor O'Donnell made a little later. This offers a strange par- The First Thimble.

Like MacDougall, the Chicago physician watched the last moments of a dying man. To his practised eye the aura of the sufferer, a patient in Mercy hospital, was plainly outlined with Its dark etheric double and lta inner and outer bands of light For half an hour or so O'Donnell kept his vigil. The interne in charge of the case finally announced that the patient waa sinking. "I kept my eyea fastened on the patient," says O'Donnell, in his account of the weird experience. "Suddenly the aura began to spread away from the body, then it disappeared! At that instant the house physician announced that the patient was dead. What force produces the aura we cannot say just yet Every living person has one. It is gone the instant death comes.*' This Inquisitive Chicago doctor has no mind to be made a scientific martyr by announcing soul-heresies, but he Is firm in stating his belief that the aura, so evident in life and vanishing so ghostlike, in death, is not the resultant of mere bodily magnetism or electrical force. He believes he has discovered tbe visible effect of some as yet unknown human force, differing widely from the-play of electricity or magnetism, and separated as if by a gulf from the chemical and mechanical reactions of the body. In a word, it is inseparable from life, for when life goes the aura goes also. As to whether it be the physical side or aspect of the soul, he refuses to express his private view for publication. Over in France they are more outspoken, and they are telling of marvels the photographic camera has witnessed and recorded which as yet have been denied to the direct vision of the unaided eye. Consider the experiments of Doctor Baraduc, a" wellknown savant, concerning the light phenomena above and around the bodies of the dead. Doctor Baraduc is a psychic as well as a scientist of repute. Between himself and his son Andre a strong bond of affection existed. Frequently each had remarkable telepathic experiences with the other, and both were interested in the study of the soul. When in 1907 Andre died, his father took a photograph of the coffin after the boy had been dead nlno hours. When the plate was developed it was discovered that emanating from the body in the coffin was a formless, misty, wavelike mass, radiating in all directions, with considerable force, touching the bodies of those who came In close- proximity to tbe coffin, as If attracted to them by some magnetic force. On one occasion the force of contact with this mass was so great that Doctor Baraduc received an electric shock from head to foot, which produced a temporary dizziness. The savant's interest was so aroused after his photograph was taken that he attempted more conclusive experiments immediately upon the death of his wife, who died six months after her son. He set a camera at the bedside and at the moment of her death he photographed the body and short' ly after developed the plate. 6n it were found three luminous globes rest* ing a few Inches above the body by fine luminous threads. Ensuing photographs showed that these gradually condensed and became more brilliant. Streaks of light Ilka fine threads were also seen darting hither and thither. A photograph taken 15 minutes after the death of his wife showed Doctor Baraduc that fluid cords had developed partly encircling the globes of light An hour after her death a photograph then taken showed the condensed globe which obscured the head of Mme. Baraduc. Cords appeared in the shape of a figure eight, closed at tbe top and opened at the point nearest the body. Finally, three hours and a half after death, a well formed globe rested above the body, apparently held together by the encircling luminous cords, which seemed to guide and control i t At last the cords snapped one by one and the globe floated away and vanished. Are these veird and gvewsome luminous phenomena connected with the departure of tbe aura? And can the aura be the physical manifestation of the soul? These are two questions that need to be authoritatively answered one way or the other, and the experimenters will not rest till the answers are found. Cured of Flirting, "What cured him of flirting?"

Bury an old zinc tank or some other construction that will hold at least 50 gallons of water, In this place a large size water barrel, bore some three or four holes in the bottom end of this just below the top of the outside tank, in these holes plate an iron tube as much as an inch In diameter and the enclosure tank will always be full of water and there Is no waste. Market Hogs Early. How should we manage the hog marketing proposition? It is a simple proposition, but few farmers have backbone to carry it out We would advise a farmer with thrifty shoats to purchase, corn during the summer months,, if it does seem high, and crowd his bogs on the market at the earliest possible moment. At to the exact date of profitable marketing we would suggest early September at the most propitious season, the weather being about the proper tempera* ture to promote the fattening process. Simply begin to push the fatteners at once and about the time farmers begin to hog down thsir-corn or to feed It to their hogs In various ways you dispose of yours, avoiding the drop that invariably follows the fall shipment of fat hogs.

Any person who has watched horses eating their noonday meals along ttra streets cannot fail to have noticed how much of the-feed was wasted when tbe animals tossed, their heads to get at the oats in the bottom of the bags. A Massachusetts man has designed a feed bag which saves all this waste andlir addition malces therhorte eat slower, so that he gets all the benefit of the food. The bag is made in two sections, one for the animal's head and the other for the feed. An opening at the bottom allows Horse Feed Bag. the oats to flow into the compartment in which the horse has his head, but only as fast as he eats them. 4Ie does - not have to toss his head about and even if he does there is no waste as the compartment containing the feed is closed at the top. By eating slowly, too, he is satisfied with less feed than If he bolted it. When not in use the bag can be folded up and carried in the tool box under the seat. M Rye for Grating. Rye makes good winter and early spring grating and liberal acreage should be planted in this crop. It it afto a good cover crop sad affords ample. protection again? the loss of nitrates in the sail.

(After King.) The fertility of any soil depends In a large measure upon the amount of water which that soil will hold under field conditions, and which will flow away through the drainage system. Our ordinary field crops require enormous amounts of water in order to give a good growth and profitable returns. If the crop can not obtain water when it needs It, then there will be a ceeaatJon of growth which will result in tow yields. The iflustratioa shows approximately the amount of water which each of three ordinary kinds of soil will hold under field conditions. Each group of two jars shows 12 inches of soil and the amount of water held hy the soil. The Jar to the left in each_ease__containji_the...l2. inches of soil, and the one at the right, the water held by that kind of soil. Group No, 1 contains a sandy loam soil, and the amount of water held by this son under field conditions a few days after heavy rains Ji__three inches. This means that the soil over a sandy loam ftel I to the depth of 12 inches Will bold k* the spaces between the soil grains i.-\ amount of water which would cover the field to the depth of three Inches. Group No. 2 contains a clay loam soil and the amount of water held In this case Is three and one-half inches. A muck soil is shown in the third group and the water held by a foot of this soil is six inches: The important thing for the fanner G R E E N _ MANURING The business of the soil 1B to produce crops. la order to accomplish this business most successfully, tt is necessary that the soil possess certain qualities: A proper temperature. Proper ventilation. The ability to gather and hold for the use of the crop goodly quantities of capillary water. In order that any soil shall possess these qualities it must he first of all properly drained. It muBt also be In the best possible condition of tilth, or as we frequently express it, It must have a proper condition of mellowness. This tilth will depend upon three things, namely: The proper selection and use of tools. The practice of a rational system of rotation in which a legume, preferably clover, shall occupy the soil at least one year in the rotation. «» The return to the soil of the largest possible amount of organic matter. Upon the-|rele*tkrn and use of tools and-upon tb> rotation will depend in no small degree the ability of the soil totgather aad bold moisture, and also te permit the r^eadar aiovement |*t a«r ttaet«aVih*aott.

The system of farming which returns naturally to the soft the largest amount of organic matter la live stock farming In some of tta phases; for in live stock farming the products of the farm are fed largely to the live stock tad nothing but finished prod* ucU in the for}* of meata, wood, dairy products, poultry products, etc., are sold away from the farm, everything being reserved in the way of roughage and manures. It frequently happens also that In live stock farming, not only are the products of the farm tat, but concentrates in the form of grains, and meals, etc., are purenased (or feed **d the manures are tbha enhancjed'and enriched. to consider is the reason why one soil holds more water than another. If the capacity of a soil for water can be increased ty any means, it would be of great importance to the tillers of the soil. There are two principal things which cause soils to hold more water. One is fineness of the soil particles or grains, and the other is the amount of organic matter or humus which the soil contains. The fine grains of the clay loam soil, togetherjwith the humus which It contains, and the amount of organic matter and humus in the muck soils, puts them in a condition to hold more water than the sandy loam soil. The finer the grains of any soil the more water it will hold. The addition of organic matter to a BOII will cause it to hold more water. It would be a hard matter to make the grains of a soil finer than they are In any case, but a great deal can be done to make the particles or soil crumbs finer by cultivating soils properly, andonly when, they are-in the proper condition to be worked. Organic matter or humus can be added to the soil cheaply and in many different ways. Plowing under clover or clover sod, adding barnyard manure, sowing rye or vetch in the fall and plowing it under In the sprfng are some of the methods by which organic matter can be added to the soil. This will put the soil in condition to hold more water for the growing crop, and will be helpful in many other ways. matter that they may be rendered normally productive. In intensive farming, orcharding and trucking, and where abundant quantities of barn yard manure cannot be had, special means must be employed to increase the -amount ot~ organic matter in the soil. In the case of the run down soils and in case of the intensive farming, orcharding and trucking, mentioned above, It becomes necessary to adopt a apecial method of Increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil. This method is usually spoken of as green manuring. It consists of the planting and growing .of a crop to plow under before it has reached maturity. The crops most commonly used for the purpose are: Rye. Oats. Corn sown broadcast or drilled with ordinary drill at the rate of a bushel per acre, and sometimes a combination of oats and peas. In some sections of the country cow peas or soy beans are grown for this purpose. These are used much in the south and also on the heavy clay soils of the central states. The hairy or winter vetch is some sometimes used. At the present time the hairy vetch is being used with marked success on some of the lighter lands of western Michigan. Rye and vetches are usually sown in the fall or late summer. The others are sown in the spring as early as for the. several crops will tauaJcy a litin growing crops far gsatsi or Some difficulties are son*e$Mss) see* with in the plowing under oflfcMsem. Where it is dense, it i* sometimes neeV eesary to use a roller upon it before attempting to plow, care being taken to roll it in the same direction as the plowing is to be done. It is also time times necessary to place upon the plow a chain or some other means to insure the complete covering of the tops of the crop. , Two dangers are te be guarded against It is not always that the green manure crop is allowed to approach maturity, but however this may be, if the succeeding crop is to be planted Immediately after the green manure crop is plowed under, unless care is observed, the material which is plowed under will cut o* the capillary rise of water from thai lower soil, with the result that the upper son remains too dry to support germination or growth.

So turbulent has become the volcanic spirit of unrest, which had its inception in the general strikes in Bilboa, Saragossa, Huelva, Cadiz, Valencia, Seville and Gijon, that complete suspension of conetitutlqnal guarantees has been proclaimed. Fierce fighting and bloodshed have marked the spread of the strike, which the government says is of revolutionary origin. The bitterness has been intensified by the action of Premier Canalejas in declaring martial law in local centers where the greatest social unrest obtains.

In chasing the market for profit, the fellows who blindly follow the crowd are generally the ones who get left. The successful man buys when he has the least competition, at the lowest prices and with the greatest margin for profit, which usually brings his selling time during a period of comparative scarcity at market, and be therefore gets higher prices and most always makes a good profit in his dealings, Hero's a Chance for Gain. The present very low market values of feeding sheep and lambs, being less than the cost of production, offers such an opportunity to those who are prepared to properly care for them. Feeders Are Selling Cheap. Well-bred, thin but thrifty lambs of the growing kind can now be bought on the Chicago market for $5.25 to $5.50 per 100 pounds; wethers of similar description, $3.40 to $3.75; yearling wethers, $4.25 to $4.50; yearling breeding ewes, $4.00 to $4.60, and good feeding ewes at $2.50 to $2.85. These prices are about $1.75 lower than a year ago for feeder lambs, and the loweBt since 1904. Feeder sheep prices stBO are—unusually low. Now Is the Time to Buy. In view of the fact that prices of feeder sheep and lambs are now below the cost of production, and that present prices of lamb and mutton are out of line with all other meats and must therefore soon rise because of the increased consumption invited thereby, the conclusion is inevitable that now is the best time to buy feeder sheep and lambs for all those who are ready to prepare them for market during the early part of next year. A leading sheep owner and dealer says: "Fat is made pretty cheap on the Fall feed that otherwise would be wasted, and the sheep and lamb feeding proposition from the standpoint of fertility is worthy of most careful consideration." SHE WHAT SHE WANTED Buying Legislators in Joblots. One day, whites Sloane Gordon in Success Magazine, a former member of the Ohio house displayed, inadvertently, a large roll of bills In the Nell house lobby. A fellow member gazed in awe at the show of wealth. "I just sold a drove of hogs/' explained the former member rather hastily and confusedly. The observing one was thoughtful.

I f w e reaeh England before the French cabinet can send a n emissary England will a c t with u s , for we can s o represent the matter that it will appear to be to her interest t o do so.

Go a t once to London and, without waiting to make a toilet, thence t o t h e foreign office in Downing street Endeavor to make the minister commit himself before y o u leave him.1' Count Otto von Hoi wig left Berlin on the evening train for Ostend, Intending to cross the English channel at that point. On the same train w a s a lady who, o n coming to one of tbe main stops, alighted from her car and, passing along toward tbe rear, looking in a t t h e open doors, finally entered t h e compartment occupied by the ambassador. £}he took a seat a n d threw her head back on to the cushion with every appearance of suffering. Besides Von Holwig there were t w o men and a woman in the compartm e n t -all of whom cast glances toward and appeared to take an interest in t h e suffering woman. She held her handkerchief t o her face so that they could not s e e w h a t she looked like and n o w and again emitted a l o w groan. T h e other woman in t h e compartment asked if s h e could do anything for her, b u t t h e invalid without speaking repulsed her by a w a v e of the hand. Presently t h e sufferer started up and exclaimed, "It's all gone!" T h e men noticed that she w a s beautiful, and the smile s h e wore was a winning change from t h e evidences of agony she had given vent to. "And now," she added, "I must explain to you good people. I am a sufferer from facial neuralgia. When one of the attacks leaves m e I need a bracer." She took a gold mounted flask from a b a g and several tiny glasses. Filling one of t r e glasses, she handed i t to one of t h e men, w h o took it. Then, filling another glass, s h e banded i t to t h e next man, w h o tried t o beg off. But a certain winning, dominating force that w a s about ber prevailed. The next man s h e offered a drink w a s Ton Holwig. H e declined, and t h e lady could not persuade him. She then gave a glass t o ber woman fellow passenger, w h o after a fruitless effort to p u t it aside accepted i t After all w h o held glasses had emptied them tbe lady brought out a box of cigarettes, which she likewise passed around. This also the count refused. B u t t h e lady gave him a look as i f to accuse htm, of Insulting her by this second refusal, and he gave in. When the train stopped again t h e lady who had facial neuralgia left the compartment, closing t h e door behind her. A fat old gentleman opened It to enter and pausea1. There were three men and a woman asleep. Tbe compartment w a s full of cigarette smoke to which w a s attached a strange odor. The old man called t h e guard and pointed to the sleepers. "There's been a robbery here," said the guard. "These people have been; drugged. Ten t o one all their money has been taken." H e shook one of the men, w h o gradually opened his eyes and looked a t him dazed. Then another and another w a s aroused, Von Holwig among tbe number. H e awoke with a start and looked about him for bis suit case. "Lost anything, sir?" asked t h e guard. * Von- Holwig, white a s a sheet; did not reply for s o m e time, then answer* ed, "No." H e k n e w that be had been tricked by a woman a n d did not propose t o give a w a y state secrets.

International Harvester Company Replies T h e Fsrcte $ « • Perth R e g a r d - ing t h e AH#<& o f t h e Unsigne d and A|fBfjBaadtfl4 J o w n a e n d During the last month there have been widely circulated certain statements regarding, the International Harvester Cooipany, all of which have their origin in a report made more than five years ago by Assistant District Attorney Townsend, after a brief and partial investigation. The International Harvester Company has presented to the Stanley Committee, at Washington, a complete and vigorous answer, in which it U pointed out that tbe argument and conclusions of the so-culled "Townsend Report" are based upon clearly erroneous statements ot well known facte. The "Townsend Report" claims that a monopoly in harvesting machinery lias been created because the International owns the patents on all tbe beet types of kn otters. The truth is that there have been no patents whatever on the esaential part of any type of knotter since 1896, when the Appleby patent expired Neither are there now any patents upon any essential part of the grain binder. The many basic patents had all expired in 1K96, and there have been no substantial patented improvements since 1891—twenty years ago —while the life of a patent, as is wellknown, is only seventeen years. That there are no such patents is known to every manufacturer of harvesters, and is now emphasized by the fact that other manufacturers} including the Minnesota State Prison, have recently closely imitated the International's models. The Townsend Report charges that of all of the different types of harvesters purchased by tbe International, all except three—the "Deering," McCormick, and "Osborne"—have been abolished, and that repairs are not furnished for any others. This statement is notoriously and absolutely untrue. Repairs for the "Minnie," "Buckeye," aud "Keystone," although not manufactured for nearly ten years, have always been and are still furnished by the International, Although the Report states that (he "Champion," "Piano," and "Milwaukee" binders and mower? have ceased to 6e manufactured, the truth is that they have been since 1902 continuously manufactured, and are still manufactured by the International and are generally sold throughout the United States. This is well known to the farmers and dealers of the cone try. The Report's charge of a "binder twine trust" is without any foundation whatsoever. Theinteraatiefeal is not only in constant and vigorous competition with Ihe Plymouth Cordage Company and a half dozen or more other smaller twine manufacturer*, but also with seven state penitentiary twin* mills. Since the Internatinnal was organized, binder twine prices have steadily fallen and the decrease between 1902 and 1912 amount to 40 per cent. ' The charge that tbe International has suppressed competition in harvesters is likewise untrue. It has had continously, aud still has, the vigorous competition of the Johnston, Walter A . Wood Acme, an 1 Adriance-Platt Companies in the binder trade, and several other in the mower trade. Recently two large rnanufacters have entered the trade, while the Minnesota Prison factory compels free labor and private capital to compete with prison labor and public funds in the manufacture of harvesters and twine. The Townsend report repeats the everrecurring falsehood that binders are sold at a cheaper price abroad than at home. The United States Government's investigate n, in 1909, proved that while the American farmer says approximately 1125.00 for a 6 foot binder, in France this game machine costs H73.70j; in Germany 1308.00; in Sweden, H60.S0; and in Great Britisn, 1135.16. In spite of the fact that materials had increased in cost more than 30 per cent and wages more than 17 per cent, the International did not increase its price of binders until three y e a n ago. And then an increase of only 7 per cent was made. This, however, owing to some reductions in material, has been largely wiped out by an announced redaction of 6 per cent for 1912, although the cost of labor has advanced mdre than 26 per cent. , 3*1 Adv.

That the accident insurance companies and the lawyers who hunt up personal injury damage suits are both leeches on the body politic, and that the state ought to be in a hurry to establish an employers' liability and workmen's compensation act was the gist of an address delivered by R. L. Drake, Detroit, before the state convention of the Federation of Labor at Battle Creek. Mr. Drake is secretary of the commission appointed by the governor to investigate Industrial accidents In the state and report to the next legislature its recommendations for a new law. It was plain to see what kind of a law Drake thinks ought to be passed —one that will compel settlement with all Injured workmen without having any law suits—settlements that will compensate for injuries received. It Is plain to see he wants the state to go Into the accident Insurance business and run It at cost for both employer and employe. "The employer invariably thinks that if he could take the money, that now goes to the liability insurance companies and give it to the injured, a. great wrong would be righted," avered the speaker. "When a workman receives an injury, owing to the fact that if he elects to sue he invariably sacrifices his position and Jeopardises his chances for a livelihood when he recovers. If he takes without contest what the Insurance company elects to give him, he must take sueh a small amount that, aside probably from his doctor's bills, all the burden of his accident Is borne by himself and family. "The time is not far distant when the workman will no longer produce all of the world's wealth and bear all of ity burden unaided. "There is a great economic waste, as evidenced by the enormous profits yearly accruing to the accident insurance companies, which burden is borne by the employer, and the profits acquired by the lawyer who makes a specialty of personal injury cases. There is not much to choose between the two. They are both leeches on the industrial world and get the cream, while the~ contending Tsartles must be satisfied with skim milk. "If it is necessary for the employers of the state to devote annually large sums of money to protect themselves against their liability because of industrial accldentB, let us at least see that a Just, proportion of it is turned into the channels of justice, so that In the end it will reach the deserving, those men who are Injured in the perr formance of their dally labor."

Information is in the hands of the special commission studying the taxation problem in this state, which shows that the corporations of Michigan are not paying their proportion of taxes, if their valuation is determined by using the income they earn on the stocks and bonds issued. Statistics are said to be in the hands of the commission which will show that only a small percentage of the tangible and Intangible value of these companies la placed on the tax rolls when compared with the valuation placed on real estate for taxation purposes. This information will furnish an Important feature of the recommendation by the commission that the state abandon the present taxation system and divide state and local taxes, general property bearing the local tax and corporations paying the state tax, aided by an excise tax on liquor and an increased inheritance tax.

Informatldh from a reliable source is that- when the special committee oh taxation matters . recently named by Governor Osborn makes ft§ report to the^bjef executive, theU finding* will berjmportan* enough to induce the governor to issue a call for a eof&al session of the legislature. This will be the business of the session, as also to redistrict the state. In fact, it is known by close friends of the governor that be has already been apprised of the most of the commission's findings, and has expressed himself as desirous of calling a special session If the report in its entirety is as good as indicated now. The commission has ascertained that the corporations of the state are not paying their just proportion of the taxes, if their valuation is determined by using the incomes they, earn on their stocks and bonds. The commission has statistics which prove that only a small percentage of the tangible and intangible assets of these corporations are placed on the tax rolls, when compared with the valuation placed on real estate for taxation purposes. It is known that the commission in its report will recommend to the legislature the abandonment of the present taxation system and the division of state and local taxes, leaving general property to bear, the local tax and the corporations to pay the state tax, aided by an excise tax on liquor and an increased inheritance tax. There is going to be a large space in the report given to the tax on liquor, according to Information obtainable in Lansing, and several new features of liquor taxation will be advocated. The various representatives and senators are already figuring for a short winter session. The state constitution says that members of the legislature can only draw their salary of five dollars per day for 20 days when convened In special session. The point arises, and is being much discussed In and about the state house, whether it will be possible for the legislature to acconv plish much important legislation, especially a new taxation system, in so limited a time. Governor Osborn is aware of the fact that the members' pay would stop at the expiration of the 20 days, but he Is also aware that there is nothing In the constitution that prevents the legislature remaining in session after the 20 days, and pay, has expired. The governor has remarked that because the salary of the legislators stopped that would be no reason why work should stop.

Road to Be Built a t Last. The state railroad commission has authorized the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Jackson railroad company to incorporate with a capital of $500,000. The incorporation papers were filed* with the secretary of state. The incorporation of this company, which was formed recently at Monroe, means the taking over of the property of the old Toledo, Ann Arbor & Jackson electric line, which was organized in 1906, and which company built about 20 miles of electric line out of Toledo the following year, and then ceased operations. Three hundred thousand dollars of the amunt will be used In purchasing the assets and property of the old line, and the remaining amount will be used in further construction of the road. Few Miners Are Injured. A special investigation made by an agent ^of the Michigan employers' liability and workingmen's compensation commission, appointed by Governor Osborn, discloses a very low number of fatal accidents, considering the many thousand men employed, in the copper mines of the Lake Superior district, and remarkably few injuries resulting in permanent disability, such as the loss of an arm, leg or eye. Most of the.accidents reported consist of minor injuries, a lacerated hand, finger or skull, bruises and sprains, resulting in the loss of only a few days' time. The Investigation shows the fallacy of the idea of people unfamiliar with the mining Industry of this region that men are maimed or killed by the wholesale In the copper country mines. The report of the mine inspector for the year ending September 30, 1910, shows that there were but 58 men killed during that year, the number of men employed being nearly 20,000, working approximately 300 days per year. Most Of the mines maintain an aid fund, from which an Injured man may draw for a period of time fixed by the rules, ard amounting to one dollar a day at most of the mines, and at others not less than five dollars per working Week. When a man Is killed his heirs receive an amount which varies at the different mines, from $200 to $600. These aid funds are maintained by the men at some of the mines and by the men and the company Jointly at others. In these latter cases the company contributes an amount equal to that contributed by the men. The contributions of the men consist of an amount charged each one, varying from 50 cents to $1 per month. Every man employed in the'mines is a member of the aid fund; and If injured is entitled to draw aid in accordance with the fund rules. The governor's commission Is endeavoring to frame up a working compensation act which will be generally accepted by both men and companies engaged in hazardous undertakings, and such a law will be welcomed, Inasmuch as it will definitely esfabnsn the rights and liabilities of tft jpfbftles.

Miss Hope, I want you to comprehend what it Is you have escaped from; what you are now fleeing from. Withinrthe last two years an apparently organized body of outlaws have been operating throughout this entire region. Oftentimes disguised as Indians, they have terrorized the Santa Fe trail for two hundred miles, killing travelers la small parties, and driving off stock. There are few ranches as far west as tills, but these have all suffered from raids. These fellows have done more to precipitate the present Indian war than any act of the savages. They bare endeavored to make the authorities believe that Indians were guilty of their deeds of murder and robbery. Both troops and volunteers have tried to hold the gang up, but they scatter and disappear, as though swallowed by the desert I have been out twice, hard on their trail, only to come back baffled. Now, I think accident bas given me the clue." ^hestraightened up; glancing queetkmingly at him through the dark- "This is what I mean, Miss Hope. I suspect. that cabin to be the rendegvous of those fellows, and I half believe Hawley to be their leader." t 'Then you will report all tbis to the authorities?" He smiled grimly, his lips compressed. ^ hardly think BO; at least, not for the- present I am not blood-thirsty, or enamored of man-hunting, but I happen to have a personal interest in this particular affair which I should prefer to settle alone." He paused, swiftly reviewing the circumstances of their short acquaintance, and as suddenly determined to trust her discretion. Deep down in his heart he rather wanted her to know. "The fact of the matter is, that Neb and I here were the onea that particular poase were trailing." T o u r her voice faltered. "He said those men, were under arrest for murder, and had broken JaiL" "He also said it was easy to COB* vict man in this country if you only knew how.

She listened Intently, asking; few questions, until he ended. Then they both looked up, conscious that dawn was becoming gray in the east Keith's first thought was one of relief—the bright sky showed him they were riding straight north. CHAPTER X I I I . trtat wtmida* * r •"•' "J t W f - The Ford of the Arkansas. They were still in the midst of the yellow featureless plain, but the weary horses bad slowed down to a walk, the heavy Band retarding progress, it was a gloomy, depressing scene in the spectral gray light a wide circle of Intense loneliness, unbroken by either dwarfed shrub or bunch of grass, a barren expanse stretching to the sky. Vague cloud shadows seemed to flit across the level surface, assuming fantastic shapes, but all of the same dull coloring, imperfect and unfinished. Nothing seemed tangible or real, but rather soma grotesque picture of delirium, ever merging into another yet more hideous. The very silence of those surrounding wastes seemed burdensome, adding immeasurably to the horror. They were but specks crawl* ing underneath the sky—the only Hying, moving objects in all that immense circle of desolation and death. Keith turned in his saddle, looking back past Neb—who swayed fa hia seat, with heed kMing on his breast * t -thoflfh asleep, his bono plodding afWftJbe others-along the align* trail they had made Across the desert 80 far, as eye could reach nothing mayed. nothing apparently .existed.

She puzsled blm, and - he scarcely knew what to believe, or exactly how to act toward her. "Our friends back yonder should he turning out from the corral by now," he said finally, anxious to break the silence, for she had not spoken since he ended his tale. "It will not be long until they discover Hawley's predicament and perhaps the welkin already rings with profanity. That may even account for the blue haze out yonder." She turned her eyes toward him, and the slightest trace of a smile appeared from out of the depths of their weariness. "If they would only remain satisfied with that Will they follow us, do you think? And are we far enough away by this time to be safe?" "It Is hardly likely they will let us escape without a chase," he answered slowly. "We possess too much Information now that we have their rendezvous located, and "Black Bart' will have a private grudge to revenge. 1 wonder if he suspects who attacked him! But donZl_worry, Miss Hope; we have miles the start and the wind has been strong enough to cover our trail. Do you see that dark irregularity ahead?"

"Indeed, I am tired; the strain of waiting atone la that cabin, and all that happened last night have tried me severely. But—but I can go through." Her voice proved her weakness, although it was determined enough, and, Keith, yielding to sudden impulse, putoat his hand, and permitted tt to rest upon hers, clasped across the pommel Bar eyas drooped, but there was no change of posture.

He did not notice that she glanced aside at him shyly, marking the outline of his clear-cut features, It was a manly face, strong, alive, full of character, the well-shaped head firmly poised, the broad shoulders sguared in spite of the long night of weary exertion. The depths of her eyes brightened with appreciation. "I believe your story, Mr. Keith," she Bald at laat softly. "My story?** questionlngly, and turning Instantly toward her. "Yea; all that you have told me about what happened." "Oh; I had almost forgotten having told i t but I never felt any doubt but what you would believe. I don't think I could lie to you." It was no compliment, but spoken with such evident honesty that her eyea met his with frankness. "There could be no necessity; only I wanted you to know that I trust you, and am grateful" She extended her hand this time, and he took it within his own, holding It firmly, yet without knowing what to answer. There was strong impulse within him to question her, to learn then and there her own life story. Yet, somehow, the reticence of the girl restrained him; he could not deliberately probe beneath the veil she kept lowered between them. Until Bhe chose to lift it herself voluntarily, he possessed no right to Intrude. The gentlemanly instincts of younger years held him silent, realizing clearly that whatever secret might dominate her life, It was hers to conceal just so long as she pleased. Out of this swift struggle of repression he managed to say: "I appreciate your confidence, and mean to prove worthy. Perhaps some day I con bring you the proofs." "I need none other than your own word." "Oh, but possibly you are too easily convinced; you believed In Hawley." She looked at him searchlngly, her eyes glowing, her cheeks flushed. "Yes," she said slowly, convincingly. "I know I did; I—I was so anxious to be helped, but—but this is different" <TO BE CONTINUED.) AUSI THE POOR DUCHESS She Thought Wealthy Couple Were Making Sport of Her Wedding Present . Recently, when the wealthy Mile, de R. was to be married, one of our good decbeases had to make her a present, Just a little present The duchess thought it would be useless to expend much money for a person so rich. She thought,if she would look through her vast mansion she would be able to find something, some trinket to which the addition of her card would give sufficient glory. She finally found in her writing desk an Insignificant cameo that she bad once worn. The following day she received from her young friend a letter of enthusiastic thanks: "Oh. you have been very footishl Tbis is too, too beautiful," etc "She Is making sport of my little present" thought the good duchess. Then came a second letter, this time from the husband who was to be; "How can we thank you? We are delighted. Thia will spoil us." "The Impertinent fellow," said the duchess, "he wants me to understand that 1 have been niggardly." Nevertheless she went to,pay a visit to the R.'a before the marriage. There tn the midst of the presents, exposed in a most prominent place, she saw the little cameo placed upon her card. Aa eld gentleman approached hot. He was s member of the Academy of inscriptions end Beifeslettres. "What a wonderful present you hsve gtvsn these children, Madame la duchess,'* be said.

Foodstuffs which might have been affected by an influx of Canadian products had Laurler and his government not been defeated in Canada rose sharply in price in all American supply centers last week. "Wheat led the advance and was followed by flour, when millers ignored their previous price Hats and adjusted their quotations to figures more commensurate with the advanced cost of the grain staple. Oats, too, felt the effect of the Canadian vote, and as a result the consumers may expect soon to pay increased prices for breakfast foods. The initial meal of the day, in fact, seems destined to bear the brunt of higher living costs within the next few months. The cost of toast and biscuit, wheat cakes and porridge, it is probable, will soon add to the- woes of the housekeeper. Sugar \i\Vt be cheaper within a fortnight in the opinldn of Edward F. Atkins, vice-president and managing director of the American Sugar Refining Co. In a statement issued in Boston Mr. Atkins says: "The domestic beet sugar crop of the west is just commencing, and in two weeks deliveries will be made. This crop is estimated at 530,000 tons. The Louisiana crop, estimated at 325,000 tons, will come on the market the first of November. These two sources will furnish a supply sufficient to provide for all requirements until the new arrivals from Cuba Jan. l." Dies In Flames at His Biplane Burns. Whirling about in midair, his body ablaze, Frank Miller, a Cleveland aviator, was burned to death and dropped to the ground in the sight of thousands of spectators at the Miami county fair at Troy, near Piqua, O. Miller had just commenced a flight around the fair grounds about 200 feet from the ground in his biplane. As he made a final swoop toward his landing place there was a blinding flash and his gasoline tank exploded. A. twist of the steering wheel sent the plane up in the air and then Miller lost control and the flaming gasoline enveloped him. Like a shot out of a cannon the aviator and machine dropped to the ground. Miller was dead, his machine consumed by flames. "Dare Devil" Castellaner an aviator, fell to instant death at the Mansfield, Pa., fair. He had started in an exhibition flight and when threequarters of a mile from the ground his machine careened, turned turtle and fell on a hillside. Castellane was found buried beneath the wreckage of his engine and plane. His wife witnessed the fatality. Stolypln's Assassin Condemned to Death. Dimitry Bogroff, the assassin of Premier Stolypin, was tried by court martial at Kiev and sentenced to death by hanging. Bogroff shct M. Stolypin a week ago, during a gala performance at the opera, and the premier succumbed to the wound later. Emperor Nicholas, the heir apparent, and the grand duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia, who occupied the Imperial box, witnessed the shooting. Bogroff is about 24 years old and a graduate of Kiev university. He was a member of the secret police, and also a revolutionist, and is said to have been assigned to the task by the revolutionary organization. The First Mall Carried by Aeroplane. The first United States mail ever transported by aeroplane was carried from the aviation field on Nassau boulevard, Long Island, to Garden City, a distance of five miles, by Earl L. Ovington in a Bleriot machine. His flight for thjs purpose was the leading feature of the international meet's opening day. Ovington took only one mail bag, held between hia knees and when he was over Garden City he dropped it on the signal of a man who waved a flag as prearranged. Kokovsoff For Premier.

The annual fire losses of the United States arc measured by the millions; in fact, it is stated that over two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of property was wiped out by fire in the United States laat year. While it it true that the precaution* to prevent fire and fire fighting systems are often inadequate, the main trouble lies in Jfim/y, non-firtproof building construction. Experience has proved that fireproof construction is both practicable and economical. In some industries fireproof building is compelled by law. Reinforced anertt* has come to the front as the most important agent in building against fire. The use of cenunt in building is becoming more and more common, due to its fireproofhess, durability and economy. When building anything from the back porch steps to an office building, concrete construction may be safely adopted. The use of Untvtnal Portland Cement in the ancreu will msure cement pj the best quality possible to manufacture. Univtr* ml is handled everywhere by the best dealers. CXrVTKSAL PORTLAND CEMEftT CO.

M- % I'* W'. :("••• A young lady who has been suffering with lameness was taken to the Sanitarium one day last week and her ailment was diagnosed as Pinckney, complicated by sympfomBLXit^ operation was decided necessary. In the operating room she gave one dismal Howell then succumbed to tbe anaesthetic and became unconscious. While in this state she imagined she was under a large Green Ouk in a shady Oak Grove on the north was a Deerfield where sewral fine deerwere feeding and on the South Lyons and other wild animals were confined in a Plainfield. Several of these animals became excited and rushed up and down the fence seeking some means of escape. In surging against the fence tnat confined them one of tbe boards became loosened and the young lady under the tree was in great danger. At this moment her mother Anderson arrived on the scene driving a roan horse, The daughter excitedly shouted Tyrone and save me! The boy being a Handy lad with a hammer soon repaired the fence, making it safe again. This calmed the agitated maiden and she soon began to Brighton up. Her mother anxiously inquired how she felt and she answered "I am feeling some better but my Hartland how it throbs and I am so hungry." They gave her a small Hamburg steak and she fell into a peaceful slumber. Atter the operation the patient did not come oat from under the influence of the drag and the doctors have exhausted every method known to medical science to resuscitate the girL At one time it looked at if their efforts would be crowned with success, for the rallied a short time. She imagined she. was atv Znkey Lake and ex. claimed. "If the water is filled with earth is Lakeland ?" The physicians then gave up all hope of recovery. ^ , » * • • • • Fiona Moran apent the first of theweekinDetrorfc JUST A MINUTE.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, T h u r s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 21, 1911 No. 38 <, Broadway Tailoring Brought Into . Every Yon may may live a thousand miles from the debonair splendor of Broadway or Michigan Boulevard. Yet right in thievery store, right in your own shopping district—there's a Royal Tailoring Department, waiting to link to your wardrobe the needlework and craftsmanship of a master New York or Chicago tailor. Here, in this store, the cream of the richest and rarest Fall woolens to be found in the most exclusive bigcity tailor shops are on display—ready for your delectation and choice. Hera you can select a design of suit or overcoat, to be built to your individual body requirements and body'dictates, that would be authentic and complementing in any gathering of well dressed men. Because this service is 5,000 stores instead of one—because its cost is shared by a nation of buyers instead of a single tailor's small community-—it gives to you Die best in tailoring at often fl A t F the small taiior Vpricel; and NO MORE, at any time, than the price of "taken-off-theshelf' store clothes, But more than this—Royal Service is a Service of certainties. It makes satisfaction in clothes-buying a surety to you—not a hazard. The Royal Tailors Represented By W. BARNARD Pinckney, Mich. r. W. "WHY BETTER?" Because of the Laurel Two / Flue Construction. This construction makes it possible to heat six griddles, without heating the oven, with the direct draft damper open. : : : : : Isn't It apparent that your fuel thus gives more service? No heat wasted on the outside air. : Maximum baking power is another result of this feature. The Heat force travels down one flue at side of oven, circulates entire bottom and returns by another side flue, thereby heating every inch of available oven space. ; Come in and examine our Cawtl R*a*e SpttUfflw. : T e e p l e H d w .

Areon Octopus StreftcKes Tentacles Afar 32 HE remarkable death in Jersey City of a "firebug" who wa8 killed through his own clumsiness while setting Are to a building which he had been hired to burn down has not often been surpassed as an example of prompt retributive , justice. "Hoist with' his own petard" is such a •worn old phrase that one hesitates to use ft now, but Frank Walsh, burglar and incendiary, must have felt just that way when the can of gasoline which he brought with him to ignite the office of the Long Dock Milling company suddenly exploded and •wrapped him in deadly flames. His agonized yells brought help sufficient to save the building but not to save Ms life. He had been hired for $10 to do the job in order to cover up fraudulent entries in the cashier's books, but he dropped his cigarette in the gasoline can and thus "dumped the fat In the Are" with a vengeance. But however dramatic the fate of cltmsy Walsh and the consequent exposure of his accomplices may be by themselves, they have a deeper significance when viewed in the light of the recent discovery that there exists a cenntry-wlde arson trust, with headquarters in Chicago and representatives in nearly all the large cities, the members of which make a business of setting fire to buildings skillfully, in order to enable the owners to collect large sums of insurance. Murder as a fine art. the scientific management of arson, together with the proper strategy and conduct of private warfare, are subjects perhaps better understood in Chicago than anywhere else in the world. Lest any of her great sister cities should feel envious of Chicago, let it be admitted that Berlin and Vienna also have their fire gangs, Paris exhibits a pretty taste in Apaches, New York fosters Paul Kelly associations, Madrid has Its garroters and Canton its highbinders. Yet the following tale shows that the Chicago savans have applied business principles to crime In a manner far excelling the coarse efforts of their rivals: On the fourth floor of No. 232 South Market street, in the.Windy City, was situated the goodly clothing establishment of L. Dreyfus & CO., wholesalers. It was operated by the brothers Leopold and Lazard Dreyfus, who had apparently an extensive city trade. The brothers were extremely liberal buyers of clothing stocks, and the store way visited by swarms of customers. Gossip had it that more goods were carte* hi than could ever 1» disposed offend that many of the customers, so called, carried away fictitious bills of sale. /n the spring of this year a set of private Investigators began to pry into the; affairs of Dreyfus & Co. Inquiry at pun's and Bradstreet's brought out tb* fact that the firm owed its creditors #85»000. An expert who visited the store In the guise of a retailer judged that goods valued at $20,000 lay on*Its shelves and counters. The Insurance carried totaled $28,000, divided among eleven companies, including *he United States Fixe, of New York. As the result of further snooping iirourid among the clothing trade It was also discovered that Dreyfus ft Co. were slow pay, and the manufacturers who sold them goods were pressing for settlement. This confidential information was carried by secret agents to a certain Slav saloonkeeper in the poorer quarters of the town. A glass or two of slivowitz was drunk, there was much conferring and nodding together of heads in the back room of the bar, and finally the saloonkeeper said: "Send Jacob to see Leopold Dreyfus!" Jacob was the praBnomen of this go-between, who -was believed by his. family and friends to be a solicitor of fire insurance. And who could doubt the appearance borne out by the policies and stacks of papers that he carried, his familiarity with rates and his glib line of talk that indicated long experience in the business? It was thus that be approached the elder Dreyfus, remarking on the large stock of goods and saying, "Let me write you an additional policy of $10,000." "I'm carrying every cent the companies will allow me to," replied the merchant. "But insurance is good. In these times"—the visitor batted his left eye just a trifle—"you can-nev_er_tell what will happen—a fire, for instance, with total loss. In that case the $28,000 you carry now would be too little " "Look here!" said the merchant, suddenly. "I don't believe you are an insurance man at all. What do you want?" "Very well, Mr. Dreyfus, very well. Let's get down to business. If your place should burn you would get tin $28,000, eh? You owe more than that, it is true, but you needn't go into bankruptcy, When you have collected the $28,000 all you need to do is to make a compromise with your creditors and you can retain the larger part of the money for yourself. Yes, a fire would be quite timely just now, and you know as well as I do that Insurance companies are in the business to pay losses " "What! You come here and tell me to set my place on fire?" answered the clothing dealer. "Not a bit of It," said Jacob. "It Isn't done that way. You can go out of town while the Job is being pulled off. Mr. Dreyfus," and he looked the merchant squarely in the eye, "I will take all the responsibility and do the Job for $5,000." Jacob saved himself from being put out of the office by a hasty exit. He Immediately reported lack of progress to the saloonkeeper. The latter had a mail order department as a branch of his secret business. Among the confidential letters mailed to merchants by the chief of the arson industry went several to the head of the Dreyfus firm; and meanwhile the difficulties of that establishment were increasing. Creditors threatened suits and unsatisfied judgments meant bankruptcy. The arson crowd kept tabs on every move, whether of the brothers o^ of their angry creditors. Finally, at this oorrett moment, Jacob called Leopold Dreyfus on the telephone and made an appointment to renew the dicker. He met the merchant In his office and made the following bargain offer: "I'll burn the whole place—every suit of clothing, every article in it— no talvage—for $2,000. You must pay me $300 down and contract to pay the balance of $1,700 as soon as the insurance money is collected. Those are positively our lowest term,. Take 'en ur Jeave 'em." "How about the risk?" "There will be no risk. To aveii suspicion you must take me in as ar employe. You yourself can be as fat away from Chicago as you like!" With that Jacob produced his arsoc contract, an extraordinary document which assigned to the saloonkeepei $1,700 of the total insurance on th< Dreyfus place. The merchant fell IE with the plan. He signed the agree raent to pay the saloonkeeper In the event of a fire, and handed Jacob the $300 earnest money. The Ingenious conspirator was put on the employes roll and intrusted with the door kej to lock up the store at night and open it in the morning. On the Saturday half-holiday ol June 3 Jacobs admitted himself to the store after hours and opened six fivegallon cans of gasoline which had been sent there concealed In the innocent- looking shipping case*, used by the firm. Starting at one end of the shop, he poured the oil in a stream that meandered the length of the floor, with the partially emptied cans distributed at strategic points among the piles of stock. At right-angles to the stream he stretched a half-hour time fuse, lighted with a match the end farthest frotp the oil, and, locking the door behind, quietly went on his --way. - - ' —' In all these operations Jacob had applied with his best skill the principles of scientific management adopted by the arson trust. The telltale excelsior Bhavings and give-away kerosene soaked paper have long since been discarded by the Chicago savants In favor of the quick, sharp, successive explosions of gasoline, which destroy the exploding cans and the stock of merchandise almost simultaneously. Not only is the evidence burned up, put the firemen and salvage corps have nb chance to save any of the stock of goods, which salvage would reduce the amount of the Insurance paid. But on this occasion something or other went amiss. The fire fighters, arriving quickly, scented the odor of gasoline. After the fire was put out and an investigation made, an unexploded can of gasoline was found back in a corner. Michael F. Sullivan, the fire attorney of the city, sent for the brothers Dreyfus. Leopold had spent the day of the fire at Gray's Lake, a resort fifty miles distant, but Lazard had worked in the store that same Saturday morning. After more than six hours of sharp examination by the fire attorney and the police Leopold Dreyfus broke down and confessed that he hired "Jacob arid the saloonkeeper to destroy the store.' He told the story of it substantially as given above. He Implicated many others in a wide network of conspiracy that startled even the detectives by the astounding revelation of a systematic, scientific arson trust. Through the further confessions of the elder Dreyfus it was hoped to expose the whole crooked league of dishonest merchants and paid setters of fire, a league, it is .said, that has caused at least a fifth (more than 700) of all the Chicago fires in the last decade, that has extended its operations from New York to Portland, Ore,, and that has reaped a yearly profit of $750,000 for the saloonkeeper who is its head. Leopold Dreyfus, however, killed himself next morning in his Michigan avenue home, whither a police detective had taken him at his own request to see his wife and children before going to the police court. The discovery of his arson and the tangle of his financial affairs bad driven him practically insane. The saloonkeeper and Jacob vanished. High Cost of Living In Japan. According to an article in Osaka Asahi, prices have gone up in Japan over twofold in the last twenty years, while the purchasing value of the cur* rency has sensibly declined. Taking the average rate of prices in Janu* ary, 1887, at 100 and the value of the currency, at the same time at 100, the rate of prices in 1910 would be 228 and the value of currency 43, accord* leg to a table published by the Bank of Japan. Another table published by the same banks shows that the advance in the prices of imported goods has been comparatively small, while the rise in the price of goods produced for the home market and for export has been greater. Compared with the advance in prices in other conntries the Japanese rate of advance has been about 2 per cent greater than that In London and New York. This may be dur to some special In* finance, such as the enormous expansion in the amount of money in Circulation. f-'.i 4fjv An • __* ' •»•'•• • •'•'. >.'."!' -'1 None Left - * aftoifl4*g»t4Vwtth all jSMir toon- -4wV f t * vo«M hat* a. nice yacht,- t'hlfai <*& I W't think of any Another One Heard From. ; Train?

DAIRY RECORDS ARE USEFUL They Serve as Tab on Milkers and Make Excellent Barometer of Cow's Condition. (By J. BAILEY BKUCE.) Accurate records of eacn cow's milk yield enables us to weed out the herd and retain only the money-makers. They serve as a tab on the milkers. If the cows are not milked clean the fact is discovered. Poor milking by hired help is discouraged and the drying off from imperfect milking reduced to a minimum. The cow's daily record is an excellent barometer of her physical condition. ^Derangements are more quickly discovered and checked and better methods of feeding are encouraged. Both owners and help are stimulated to increase the product and it educates them In the matter of dairy economy. They induce better business in the management of the business. A place where business methods have been too long ignored. They serve as an excellent guide in selecting heifers that are to be raised to replace the cows we annually discard from the herd. VALUE OF PURE-BRED SIRES CONVENIENT TRUCK IN BARN Easy of Construction and W i l f tessen Dairyman's Labors to a Considerable Extent, No dairyman can afford to ignore that which will lighten his labor in any way whatever.

Hence the importance of his considering the truck or car presented In the cut, for which we are indebted to an exchange.

This is the time of year when the dairyman or dairy farmer who owns a silo likes to talk about silage. Good silage comes as near being June pas* ture in January as any feed with which the dairyman is familiar. Its succulent or juicy nature especially fits It for stimulating the milk flow and keeping the cow in vigorous health. Probably the most Important rule in the profitable dairy is* to keep the cow's milk flowing as freely as possible after the flow has once been started by parturition or calf-birth. To do this demands right feeding and good care. Silage is also necessary to right feeding Silage is a cheap feed to cut up and valuable to use. It is grown on the farm, this fact is of Importance in this day of high-priced mill feeds. Clean Milk. A maker of certified milk, and head of a company which owns 800 cows, kept for this purpose at a sanitary milk producing plant, asserts that every dairyman can get clean milk In any barn if he takes proper care. This statement should prove Interesting to those who lay so much stress on changes in the barn equipment, rather than upon the one all important item of care. A Valuable Cow. At the cattle sale of H. W. Woods of Easterrille, la,, a black Galloway cow called Gentle Annie brought IS,* 500. * " Prof. _. "H. Fraser of Illinois Experiment Station Explains This Feature of Dairying. The value of a good -bull in. the dairy herd is something that dairy farmers are now giving more attention to. Prof. E. H. Fraser of the Illinois experiment station has made this feature of farm dairying a study, and explainw its benefits in this way: "If, for example, the good pure-bred sire in> proves theinilking capacity of his daughters by only one and one-bait pounds of milk at a milking, above the' production of their dams, this would: mean an increase of 900 pounds of mlik for the len months or 300 days during which the ordinary cows should give milk; they would also be much more persistent milkers; that is. would: give milk for a longer time in the year/ and would regain their flow of milk better after an unavoidable shortage of feed as in a summer drought. Such 'daughters may certainly be credited on the average with 1,000 pounds more milk per year than their dams pro duced. At the low estimate of one dol lar per 100 pounds this extra amount, of milk would be worth J10 per year The average cow is a good producer for at least six years, or until she gets eight years old. Each daughter having a pure-bred sire will, therefore, earc $60 more money in her lifetime be cause of the good qualities of her sire It will on the average be four years after purchasing the sire before his first daughters will have finished theli first lactation period and brought it the first extra $10. Eight dollars and twenty-three cents kept at compound Interest for these four years at five per cent, will equal $10, so a daugh ter's improvement or increase of in come the first year is worth $8.23 at the time her sire Is purchased.". JERSEY COW'S GOOD RECORD Pedro's Estella, Bred by Missouri Agricultural College, Produces Much Butter. (By C. H. ECKLES.) This Jersey oow, Pedro's Estella 197245, as bred by the Missouri Agricultural college. Her record for Pedro's Estella. 12 months as a three-year-old is as follows: Milk, 11,0*58 pounds; fat in milk, 605 pounds. The average per cent, of fat for the entire year was 5.476 pounds. Com' puting the yield of butter on basis_ol 85 per cent, according to the rule ot the Jersey Cattle club, this cow produced 712.12 pounds of butter in the 12 months. Her weight was 880 pounds at the beginning of the test and increased tc 960 pounds at the end of 'the year. The best previous authentical year's record for an animal of this age is 518 pounds fat, which is exceeded 87? pounds by the record of Pedro's Estella. The average amount of grain fed per day was r out fourteen pounds, or a total of 5,110 pounds during the year, which consisted mostly of corn, oats, bran and oil meal. Green Food for Cows. As in the case of cows, swine also should be fed plenty of green food in order to keep their digestive tracts in the best condition. They should be supplied with plenty of pure, cold water and an abundance of -shade and sanitary wallowing place. Milk clean, but do not "tug" to keep up the milk flow. Never forget the'importance of cooling milk in a clean place. Dairying is one of the profitable lines in which a farmer can engage. Churning is soon out of the way when the cream is in proper condition. Notice the cream once or twice the flrat ten minutes after starting the churn. To do good work the cream separator must be level and on a good solid foundation. Stop the churn as soon as the butter granulates if you want to work out all the buttermilk. Veal calves in hot weather will grow better if kept during the day in a dark, cool stable. Some dairymen make it a practice to give some mild purgative to cows at the time of parturition. A bull tied in the stall will get laty and useless, besides , making , extra work in his care and feed. If you have not a good cellar, nor ice, nor cold water, making good butter in hot weather1 if out of the question, • •*• .,•-. i •.. .•-/""' The cream separator, the alio-and the manure spreader should find a plaee in the equipment of every dairy tatm.

Mangolds on Agricultural College Farm—Roots Help Maintain Health and Vigor of Herbs During Winter. The prevailing opinion that root crops are difficult to harvest, involving much hard manual labor, has prevented many from growing them. Modern tools and methods have afforded much relief in such harvesting operations. Turnips- and rutabagas can be topped readily with a sharp hoe while still in the ground and the roots tipped out with the plow later. If the topB from each pair of adjoining rows are left In the space b e tween it is an easy matter to gather and haul them off the ground for feeding if so desired. To plow turnips or rutabages out select a plow with a narrow share,'nine inches preferred, remove the coulter or jointer and set the draft over to one side so that the plow will cut a V-shaped furrow. Then with one man to drive a second man can so hold the plow as to trim off the top roots and overturn the roots without burying them with earth. If burled somewhat, harrowing will expose all the roots. Exposure to the sun for a few hours or even a alight frost during the night makes the eartfcjjrop readily from the roots when bumped together just before being thrown into the wagon. Short, thick-bodied roots such as the golden tankard mangold or giant feeding beet may be uprooted by dragging an inverted harrow both ways across the rows after which the tops, can be twisted off by hand before the beets are loaded in the wagon. The extremely large, long, crooked varieties such as the mangold wursej cgnnjol be. harvested in this way without some damage from breaking, which interferes with their keeping qualities. These sorts should be pulled and the tops twisted off by hand, In the case of a few rows of carrots grown for horse feeding the following method may be followed If a beet lifter Is not, available.

The gravity of the actuation arising from France's refusal to grant Germany's demands as regards Morocco is reflected in England by the extraordinary precautions being taken throughout the United Kingdom. The army and navy i» held at its highest degree of efficiency. England is prepared for any eventuality. Startling precautions are being taken at Sheemess. Mounted armed guards are stationed at all the approaches and everyone seeking admission is challenged. The barricades recently erected around the two searchlights east of the Ravelin batteries are closed night and day despite the protests of the urban district council. The steel observation tower further east, which commands extensive views of the North sea, has been strongly barricaded and at night is guarded by Infantry with fixed bayonets and ball cartridges.

Eetctwh AwJsttst la CbssiiMiy, MicMctt ExpsriSMnt Stttkx Stable litter has four chief uses in tl»e preservation of manure. First, it absorbs the liquid manure and pre* Tests its draining away; second, it absorbs ammonia, one of the most /valuable constituents of manure; [third, it makes manure easier to han- . die, and fourth, it acts as a deodorizer and makes the presence of manure leas objectionable. <rbe first-two of these functions are exceedingly important from a financial point of view. Tn the manure formed by horses, sheep and cows practically 65 per cent of / t h e nitrogen and 80.per cent of the $ .potash art found i%tte-ll^fltd .manure. Most of this Is dlrfctly available for : plant food, while a considerable part < of that in the solid manure is not ; available for immediate ^utjpr.^ Far ;these reasons more attention anoukl , be paid to the consefratltth of the , liquid portion of the manure than Is • cujjtc^itaryj. in common farm practice. As ts weU known/ammonia is very valuable for fertilising purposes and is by no means the least expensive | fertilising material on the market The strong odor of ammonia noticeable m the vicinity of any ordinary _ manure pfle is sufficient indication . that It is there in large quantities and Is escaping into the air to be a ; complete loss to the farmer. The jfjrits* rocnUtte for a good litter, than, is that ft shall have strong absorbent 1 powers for both liquids and gases. In addition it must be cheap, easy to \ obtain and •convenient to handle. The y \mett 4ommMi iitbtt m ef'courss, straw, which, however, fulfills very poorly tte rwQttirenssBbi stfYaa above " a goosT BraMe mtsr. It U a poor ftHr af thar liquid ssaanre of not warrant investment in expensive special machinery. Storing Root Crops. The most satisfactory and permanent results in storing root crops are to be secured from a cellar built in an excavation adjacent to or as a part of a basement barn, the object being to get below Aground for security against frost and the maintenance of uniformly low temperature. A space partitioned off in the basement bam with light walls makes as satisfactory an arrangement as any; if this is not done the warm, moist air from the stables will prevent the roots from keeping well. Root houses built in excavations in banks some distance from the stock barns are not' so satisfactory because of the extra labor involved in conveying the roots to the stock, particularly in times of mud and snow. c Pitting may al: J be resorted to, but is not so satisfac ury as a cellar. Under such condit ons the continuous use of roots for leeding is interfered with during the extremely cold spells as some days the pit would have to remain closed to prevent the access of frost. In constructing a pit, a high, well drained piece of ground should be chosen. The roots should be piled In long piles, the bottom of the pile abour four or five feet wide, with the sides sloping upward, to meet at a point four feet above the center of the pile; the length of the pit can be governed by the conditions. As soon as roots are piled cover them with a layer of about three inches of straw, free from chaff; then cover the straw with earth taken up from near the edges of the pit in such a way as to form a ditch around the same for drainage. Early in the season not more than an Inch or two of earth should be placed on the straw; but later, as cold weather approaches, double the amount of earth, and prevent freezing In future by coverings of manure, used in such quantity as the severity of the weather may require. Where the conditions are extreme, or for potatoes, a double covering may be used as follows: First cover with straw and then with a thin layer of earth, which Is allowed to freeze, then follow with another layer of straw and more earth. In this method a dead air space is maintained and the roots or potatoes Inclosed are not effected by fluctuations in temperature from without. In extreme weather a manure covering would be needed as in the first case. ammonia and has no value as a deodorizer or disinfectant. It has some little value In making the manure easier to handle, but when one remembers' that the solid portion contains less than one-third of the plant food this one advantage assumes minor importance. : A material which answer*, moretfully all of the above-mentioned specifications is raw muck; or peat ana, where it is available, is by far the best material for the purpose. In W&P&& QtthsjB^^K.cali be readily obtained and many farms have mpre or less of it which Is considered waste land by the owners. Ordinarily as it comes from the bog, It Is mostly water, one hundred pounds of the wet material containing worn fifty to ninety pounds of moisture, though in dry seasons this may be considerably diminished. By shoveling over, on dry ground, and exposing to the action of the wind and sun this amount may be reduced to ten or fifteen pounds. The dry material can then be hauled .to the barn and stored under some sort of shed for use as required.' In this air-dry condition it has extremely high absorbent powers and can take up many times its weight of liquid and large quantities of gaseous material thus drying the manure and making it pulverulent and easier to handle. In addition to these qualities peat itself has more or less value as a fertiliser on account of Its nitrogen con tent. Though the total amount of nitre gen present in peat is considerable, that part which is immediately avail able for plant use is gutte small. Experiments which have been conducted at the Michigan experiment station and elsewhere seem to Indicate that mixing with manure brings about some change whereby a greater per tion of this nitrogea is made dlrecUj available. Peat is also valuable foi the nanus or oxgnale matter wars* ft supplies to the aoil and this gives it •aether advantage L I V E STOCK.

Good growing stock of any kind that Is selling below the cost of production is 'always a safe investment, if the purchaser is prepared to take good care of It. He who buys and develops such stock is almost certain to make a good profit In doing so, because production will not long continue at a loss, while consumption of staples must go on steadily. Not many others are buying such stock, or else it would not be selling so cheaply, 'and it follows logically and consistently that when it ]ias been "grown and finished for market", there will then be a comparative scarcity of such finished slock and such good prices will be realized for it that a handsome profit will result from the deal. This reasoning is self-evident, and applies with especial emphasis to the present situation Jn feeder sheep and lambB. Last year's conditions are now reversed. Then nearly everybody was crazy to feed sheep and lambs, and an immense number were sold and shipped to the country at about the highest prices on record. This together with an enormous corn crop of high feeding value, a world of perfectly cured-roughage- and a. splendid winter feeding season were factors that combined to produce a heavy supply of fat sheep and lambs for market during the early part of this year, while retailers of meats held up prices to consumers, so that consumption was limited, with the natural and logical result of low prices and feeders' losses ^n most instances. In consequence of last year's unprofitable experience and present scarcity of grass and hay, most farmers and many professional feeders of sheep and lambs are now avoiding the market, and very few are being shipped to the country, while prices are the lowest since 1904. In fact, feeder sheep and lambs are selling on the market today for less than the cost of production. These facts mean that early next year there will be a scarcity of fat sheep and lambs at market, and comparatively high prices will prevail. Those who have the nerve to go contrary to the crowd and invest in good, thin but thrifty feeder sheep and lambs at the present low price, will have no cause to regret their enterprising independence when they come to market them in finished condition. The concensus of opinion of the best minds in the trade is that since both prices for feeding stock and prospects for fat stock"'are much better than they were last year, therefore the opportunities for profit are correspondingly better. In fact, the whole situation is the reverse of last year. Now Is the time to buy, because range conditions are such that moBt of the sheep and lambs will come to market from the range regions ready for"slaughter, while fewer of the feeder classes will be marketed during the remainder of this year, and the supply will not equal the probable Fall demand, so that prices are likely to be materially higher in October and November.

But why only see that their stock of clothes is complete? Clothes do not make the man. i t is far more important to see that both mind and body are in t h e best condition possible for development. Many a child is forced backward toward the foot of the class because of some minor ailment which might be easily corrected by proper treatment. Do not neglect a child because he seems stupid. Then is the time that h e need* attention. Any child who is weak or does not learn easily should be taken to a competent physician who.can of ten find defects in ihe child, the correction of which will make the c h i l l strong and robust both mentally and physciaily. Our cities are fast coming to a realization of the fact that many of the children are backward, nut because of lack of brains, but because their defective bodies d o not supply the brain with enough gocd rich blood to develop properly. They hire reputable physicians whose duty is to examine these children carefully, aud if any defect is fouud, to take steps to have it removed. if a child is unable to see properly it cannot be expected to learn ils lessons. The concentration and application necessary to accomplish this is impossible. And yet one third of the school children are found to suffer from defective vision in various degrees. This is a condition which is easily remedied in the majority of cases by proper treatment. #-- One of the common causes of backward children are adenoids and tonsils. These are lymphatic growths in t h e throat which fill up the upper part of the throat and>ender breathing through the nose difficult or impossible. Such & child has a characterisitc facial expression and is known as a mouth breather. Not only iB the face affected but backwardness in the entire system is also caused. These are ( readily removed by a slight surgical operation. See that the child receives plenty of fresh air arid exercise. Tfie body needs plenty of systematic exercise in t h e open air. A healthy body and a healthy bmin go hand in hand and one seldom finds one without the other. See that the childa study and sleeping rooms are well ventilated so that it will not be poisoned by foul air. A healthy start in life means health, wealth and happiness in later years. See that the child lacks none of the opportunities for this developement. If the child is frail or doerhot learn readily look for a cause. There are many minor ailments and defects the correction of which may be the turning point in the life of your child. The best is none to good for him. See •hat no stonejs^ left unturned in bringing the child to a healthy mliturity a n d you will be astonished at the results. Robert L. Dixon, M. D . , Sec'y. Mich.

After losing a great number of hogs we decided It was time to study up on the matter, writes J. (x. Carey in Farm Press. The animals that died were all afflicted with swollen joints, and after a little investigation it became plain that this disease was due to the neighborhood habit of keeping the hogs connned in small and exceedingly dirty pens. Hogs are naturally of a roving dis position. If kept in a small pen they do not get sufficient exercise. We all know how a hog kept in too close quarters constantly roots and tears up the ground, and then Just a little bit of rain makes the ground muddy; and when the ground in a small pen is once muddy, muddy it will stay for a long time. And the hog that i s kept in a muddy pen is apt to get the swollen Joint disease sooner or later. We have found a cure for this disease which we employ wherever a case appears, and we wish others to know of this cure in%case their stock should be afflicted with the malady. First remove the animal or animals from their muddy pen to a dry one. Examination will show that the pores of the hogs will have become completely closed with the mud accumulated in the old pen. To one-half pint of lye soap add two quarts of lukewarm water. Make a good suds and wash the joints of the swine at least twice a day till the swelling begins to leave the joint. Each time after washing the Joint use a teaspoonful of baking soda and a little blue vitriol, well mixed, to rub the teg with thoroughly. This treatment has been known to effect a cure in one week, but It does not always act so rapidly. After the disease has been eradicated the condition of the living quarters should be looked into, or, more properly speaking, bad condition* should be corrected first of all, a step toward which was taken when the swine were removed from the muddy pen to a clean one. The pen or pasture, besides being clean, should be sufficiently large to give the animals plenty of room for exercise. The feeding^^-^ hxmld^e_aJtlejideiLJp_with_cai»- Do not let too many of the animals congregate at feeding time, HH they will d o if all are kept in one pen. Feed them in relays of ten. Sour slop should never be given, but plenty of pure water^should be in easy access in clean troughs^ The feeding lot should be kept as clean as possiWte-" In rainy weather the feeding should, be done on plank or cement feeding floors, cleaned before each feeding. Sleeping quarters should be kept as clean and dry as possible and the bedding often renewed, using grass or clean wheat straw for this purpose. Cleanliness, in short is the chief ingredient in the cure, and 1t is a certain preventive of the disease if maintained from the beginning.

During the remainder of the summer pigs that are not far enough advanced to catch an early fall market by any possibility will largely be made to forage for themselves in pastures, meadows and stubble fields. After a pig reaches a weight of fifty pounds there i s no great danger of fatal results from worms, which cause great mortality among smaller pigs when forced to rustle for themselves. Pigs can be kept cheaply with light feeding and grazing, but they should have enough grain to maintain health and steady growth. All the profits of pasturing pigs are wiped out if the grass or the watte In fields of small grain is made the sole feed. Figs may lire and not gain a pound In weeks, and their board la a dead expense during all that time. And a pig that has stopped growing is slower than any other animal i n getting into thrifty condition when aga|n put on to feed.—Breeder's Gaaette. -TT-< - TurjrtVitlne Per 8heep.

They say sometimes there's flghttn',' and Oi'm skeert ov yer gittin kilt" "Nlver moind, sweetheart, Oi'll take good care o' meself ug'iu yer comtu' over to jine me and we'll be married and live in a nice little shanty and have a pig and a goat and live loike gintle folk." "But they say, i\it, that in America they don't have pifcrs. Anyway, they don't keep 'em In the house. Oi've heard that the pigs is alT knp* together and killed together—sometoimes a mather of tin or a dozen at one klMlnV "That won't mather to us. We'll have one just to remind us of home. And we'll have the shanty Oi'm tellin' ye about wid the ladder goin' up to the second story"— "Och, Pat, they don't have ladders In America, they have stairs." "Well, we'll have a ladder in our shanty just as we'll have the pig. And by that same token we'll have a coo for milk." "But Oi'm told people don't keep cv>os of their own in that country. All the milk is put in a big tub and it's peddled out in wagons." "But we'll have the coo for the same raison we'll have the pig and the ladder, 4o-remoind \v± of ^>ur beautiful islant and the home one couldn't have in it. because we're too poor. Bat in America Oi'll git together the money for the shanty and the pig and the ladder and the coo, and we'll live like flghtin' cocks." So Pat folded the poor girl in his arms, the tears streaming down her cheeks at parting with him. "What's the mather, darlln'?" he said, patting her fondly. "Don't be cryin'. It'll not be long before 1 sind ye the money to come over to me, and be the toinie ye git there Oi'll have-the shanty ready, so ye'll think ye're right here in ould Oirland." "Oh, Pat. Oi'm feared ye won't succeed!" And so 'they parted, Pat with no more money in his pocket than to take him in the steeruge across the ocean. The pair were too1 simple and uneducated to have formed any idea of America. Their dream of a home there was such as they might have at home had they the means to establish it, where the pig and the cow and themselves might all live together in domestic harmony. Since Tat could not write, his let' ters from the new country, written by a friend, were of the simplest character. He realized that even if he could write his own letters he would never be_ahlfi tQ_consey—to Eileen^simple mind the real America. He was too wise to attempt It. At first his letters began in the usual way with his class: I take my pen In hand to write you a few lines to Bay that I'm In <?ood health, thanks be to Ood, hoping that you aro the same at the present time. Then followed hopes that the crops would be abundant and that different members of the family were welL One poor speller who indited a letter for Pat wrote, "This letter comes hopping that you are well as I am, thanks be to God!" "What's that?" said Eileen. "It comes hoppln'? Oi thacht it come by a ship." Pat remained several years in America before he sent for Eileen. When he got a start he wrote. "Darllnt, Oi'm buildin* the shanty." When he made some money he wrote, "Oi've bought the pig." Then the cow followed, his shanty was ready and Pat was ready to send the passage money that was to bring his sweetheart to him in America. Before starting Eileen wrote that she wished he could bring the shanty and the pig and the cow to Irelahd but she supposed that if he could he wouldn't be able to make the money necessary to keep up the establishment So she made her preparation to join him. Pat knew the day she sailed and the day the steamer was due in New York- He wrote her that she would arrive on a holiday tbey kept in America called Labor day. He would be busy on that day. and be would send his friend, Mike Fogarty, to the steamer to meet her and bring her to where he was working. Eileen thought Pat must be very industrious to work on a holiday, end she was glad and proud of him. When the ship came up to the dock Eileen saw a man on It looking as tf be might be Fogarty. and he was. "Pat tould me," he said, "to take ye where he's workin'. and 1 wilL" He led Eileen to a street where great crowds were waiting for something to happen. Then came a band of music and men with sashes and scarfs on caracoling horses. Among these men la a black clawhammer coat and silk hat she saw her Pat Pat caught sight of her and, dismounting, joined her. ••Is this the way ye're workln'7" she asked. asronlKhed.

Swimming Is the one outdoor exercise in which woman frequently excels man. The water 1B her heritage, but only In the last decade has she taken possession, says the New York Evening World. Plump little Rose Pltonof, who covered the distance between East Twenty-sixth street, Man* hattan, and Coney Island In eight hours and seven minutes, Is one of a growing band of graceful, facile water maidens. By virtue of physlral perfection and stamina Annette Kellerman, the lithe Australian girl who essayed the English channel, 1B perhaps the header of these. Other noteworthy figures are Elaine Golding, the powerfully built Bath beach champion; Eleanora Sears, the Newport soclty girl; Elsie Thlel, winner of many sprints; Adeline Trapp, a Brooklyn teacher who has conquered Hell Gate; Ethel, Vera and Beatrice Due of Fort Hamilton, who have swum the Narrows and done still more difficult feats; Evelyn Howell, the Flushing school girl; Augusta Galtup and Clara Hurst, survivors In ft race from Brooklyn bridge to Coney Island. Mme. Claire Outtenstein has competed on even terms wfth men_ Parisian*, in crossing the Seine. Mrs. Lena Brandenburg of St Louis swam the five miles from Eads bridge to the Altenheim Just to prove that a woman of sixty is not an old woman. Wby^x>ther things being equal, do women swim better than men? Be1 cause their conformation is well adapted for this exercise.. Because there is usually more adipose tissue under the skin, and this protects the body from invading cold. Because, as Doctor Sargent of Harvard says, "women always are and constitutionallyought to be-rougher than men."

Not Infrequently women of wit direct their shafts against the clubs so beloved and frequented by mankind. In Ralph Nevlll's story of "London Clubs" and their origin and uses are some examples of wit aimed In the opposite direction. The original conception of a London club was a retreat to when West End men might betake themselves, certain that the troubles and worries of the* outside world would not follow them Into a building which they regarded as a temple of dignified seclusion and repose. Perhaps the best description of a club, as i t existed in former days, was 1 ]•>• Rhodes, the president's physician; that "given l)y a witty blsh6p7who~de-r|? LrJarvls-arnh '-JoseFh-Jduxnby-T-offined lf'as a place "where women ceased from troubling and the weary were at'Stst." Another amusing definition was once given by George Augustus Saia. "A* club," said Sala, "is a weapon used by savages to keep the white woman at a distance."—Youth's Companion. f v > ^ t t , - ^ 1&*- •'.'" History Repeated. It was at the Circus Maxlmus. The Emperor Nero leaned forward, In spite of his embonpoint, and touched one of the emperor's ladles In waiting on the shoulder. "Pardon me, Aggrippina," he said, in excellent Latin, "but would you mind taking down your coiffure, so that I can get a look-in on the arena? There's a massacre today that I'm particularly anxious to see." Her only answer was a sneer of patrician scorn. Well she knew that Nero had come in on a press ticket, while an easy Roman suitor had paid real money for her seat I "* A New Point of View. A youngster had been very rode to his mother, and she had turned him over to his father to be disciplined, when the following conversation was overheard: •Ted, did yon say to and so to your mother?" "Yes dad." "Well, yon win have to settle thftt matter with her, because she is your mother and not mine. But she Is my wife, and I will not allow any man, young or old, to be rude to her. Now you must apologise to me for being rude to my wife, and then you can settle with your mother for being rude to her." Preparing for the Part.

Monday. For nine and one-half hours he was as busy a man as during any of the days on his great 15,000-mile "swing around the circle." In that time Detroiters and the visitors had several excellent opportunities of seeiag him—when he left the train and went to breakfast, when be rode out Woodward avenue on his way to Pontiac; when he returned and spoke at the state fair-grouiidsrwhenj Sweet; "Grand7" -"Rapids'; he went from the fair grounds to the Wayne Gardens; when he visited the revenue men at Hotel Cadillac, and when he returned to his train. After the special train of six cars had pulled into the station, the presidential party took until 7:15 o'clock to prepare for its entrance to the ^city. Meanwhile the Board of Commerce committee on arrangements, composed^ of Federick Holt, chairman; Milton -A, McRae, president of the-board; Fred M, A Iger,-Waiter—A-. Russel, Mayor William B. Thompson, and Secretary Lucius E. Wilson, welcomed the party. Seven automobiles carried the guests and the committee to the Detroit club, passing up Third avenue to Fort street and east on Fort street to Cass avenue. President Milton A. MoRae had been selected by the Board of Commerce committee as the man who would ride with President Taft and act as official host and guide during the day. In the automobile with these two were MaJ. A. W. Butt and Charles D. Hlllls, the president's secretary; James Sloan, Jr., the one secret service man who will never be separated from Mr, Taft on the long Journey, was on the front seat. In the second machine were Dr. Thomas the secret service, and Wendell W. Mischler, the president's stenographer. .._... All the members of the presidential party and 50 newspaper men from Detroit and other points in the state, were the guests of Milton A. McRae at breakfast at the Detroit club. During and after breakfast, President Taft met the newspaper men informally and was interviewed by them or turned interviewer himself. At C:45 o'clock the police cleared the street and the party boarded two D. U. R. cars for the trip to Pontiac. Pontiac was reached at 10 o'clock. Automobiles were in waiting and the party were given a short ride about the city before the president gave his address. At 11 o'clock the cars left Pontiac for the state fair grounds, which was reached 40 minutes later. A batallion of the First regiment, M, N. G., formed a double line from the Woodward avenue entrance of the fair grounds to the grove, and the president rode between these ranks to the band stand, where he delivered his address of the day and formally opened the fair. Five thousand people were able to obtain seats in the grove. The others had to stand. At the conclusion of the address the members of the reception committee of 100 of the Board of Commerce, were, introduced to tbe executive by Major A. W. Butt. And then came the real parade of the day, the opportunity for almost unlimited thousands at least to get a good look at Mr. Taft, for the entire party rode in automobiles from the fair grounds, down Woodward avenue to Jefferson and west to the Wayne Gardens. About 50 machines were in line. The president's car and those following were filled as on the morning ride to the Detroit club. Then came the committee of 100, newspapermen and others. As the president's car left the fair grounds, it was surrounded by Detroit police department automobiles and motorcycle policemen, the latter in their blue uniforms. On the downtown streets a largety increased traffic squad was required to keep the streets clear, orders having been issued that nobody was to be allowed to get off the curb on the pavement. At Grand Circus park the procession was met by a battalion of mounted police, who led the way to the WOUNDS ARE NOT NECESSARILY FATAL SAY DOCTORS AFTER "FIRST EXAMINATION.

Here the president delivei*sd a ten-minute Address to the convention of the National Association of Internal Revenue Officers. During the procession from the Wayne to the Cadillac hotel and to the Michigan Central depot the president had as an escort of honor nine companies of federal troops, now stationed at Fort Wayne, and the local Boy Scouts of America, led by' the Twenty-sixth Infantry band, which, with Harold Jarvis, furnished the music during the luncheon.

Stolypin was twice shot by a wouldbe aseasin during a gala performance at the opera house in Kiev. Czar Nicholas was in the audience and at first it was feared that his life had been attempted. Stolypin's wounds were first re^ garded as mortal, but physicians who attended him are hopeful that he will recover. They decided not to operate. '" The man who fired the shots is a lawyer named Bogrof. He was sitting directly behind the premier and both bullets took effect. Wild excitement followed the firing. With the first shot the czar dropped out of sight and as a score of secret agents rushed to his box with drawn revolvers the cry went jjp_ihat Ihfi^mperor had been killed. In the Immediate vicinity of the premier, however, it was seen at once who the victim had been. While those nearest him supported him, attempted to aid him and called for physicians, others seized Bogrof, He •was nearly torn to pieces by the mob before rescued, by the police. The czar was hurried out of the theater by a private way and into a carriage, which was driven rapidly to the palace. The audience was finally quieted and before dispersing sang the national anthem.

As premier of Russia, Mr. Stolypin is the man who blocked the Russian outbreaks which threatened to effect a revolution and which came to a head during the term of office of Count Witte. His conduct qf his office was attended with drastic and repressive measures that earned him the hatred of the progressive classes and led to repeated attempts upon his life by the revolutionists. The rapid retaliatory steps which he took among the terrorists won him the detestation of the advance4vpar« ties but the support of the existing order and made him the real autocrat of Rusuj, with power exceeding that of the czar himself. "Stolypin's necktie" became, the synonym for the haugman's noose throughout Russia. Trials and persecutions proceeded with great rapidity under his direction and the advent of a more radical form of government was checked. He quarreled _ frequently with the duma and was j-^hZ>i*H trurv" victorious in his disputes with t h a t r w n w Q K" body, owing to the confidence of the czar, which he enjoyed. When M. Stolypin accepted the premiership he was perfectly conscious of his danger. He said at the time: "I have no doubt that attempts will be made upon my life, but I hope that order will be restored and stability established in Russia before they are successful." mmmmmmm^mmmmmmmmmmmmmmtmmmm-^ Owosso.—Ons Qt Owosso's vflllertakers it very friendly with luxyivors of the Civil war and very fre- Quently attends reunions of the old soldiers and meetings of the O.

Gen. Wickersham. The "condign punishment" for Dr. Wiley, which Mr. Wickersham holds to be necessary will not be meted out by the chief executive. The president's opinion, carrying no word of criticism for Dr. Wiley, but many wordB of praise, was made public. There is no indication in it that the president feels that he "turned down" Mr. Wickersham by not accepting his recommendations. He explains that the attorney general's findings in the case were made* with less complete data than was before him when he took it up.

"The action has only really begun," he assured her, «viU retaining his hold upon her hand. "This was merely a preliminary skirmish, and you must prepare to bear your part in what followB. We have settled Mr. Hawley lor the present, and now must deal with his gang." -^^Qbr *hat would 1-have done-tf-yotr naciously to an ideal of womanhood which could not be lowered. However interested he might otherwise feel, no Christie Maclaire could ever find entrance Into the deeps of his heart, where dwelt alone the memory of his mother. He found the other horses turned into the corral, and was able, from their reatless movements, to decide they numbered eight A fire, nearly extinguished, glowed dully at the farther corner of the enclosure, and he crawled close enough to distinguish the recumbent forms of men sleeping about it on the ground. Apparently no guard had been set, the fellowB being worn out from their long ride, and confident of safetly in this Isolated spot. Besides, Hawley had probably assumed that duty, and told them to get whatever sleep they could. However, the gate of the corral opened beside their fire, and Keith dare not venture upon roping any of their ponies, or leading them out past where they slept. There might be clippers in the cabin with which he could cut the wires, yet if one of the gang awoke, and discovered the herd absent, it would result in an alarm, and lead to early pursuit. It was far safer to use their own ponies. He would lead Hawley's horse quietly ly any trail, and even that little-would be quickly obliterated by the first puff of wind. As they drew in toward the river valley this plain would change Into sand dunes, baffling and confusing, but no matter how hard tbey pressed forward, it must be daylight long before they could hope to reach these, and this would give him opportunity to spy out some familiar landmark which would guide them to the ford. Meanwhile, he must head as directly north as possible, trusting the horses to find footing. It was plains instinct, or rather long training in the open, which enabled him to retain any true sense of direction, for beyond the narrow fringe of cottonwoods along the stream, nothing was visible, the eyes scarcely able even to distinguish where earth and sky met. They advanced across a bare level, without elevation or depression, yet the sand appeared sufficiently solid, so that their horses were forced into a swinging lope, and they seemed to fairly press aside the black curtain, which as Instantly swung shut once more, and closed them in. The pounding hoofs made little noise, and they pressed steadily onward, closely bunched together, so as not to lose each other, dim, spectral shadows flithad. not been here?" "Let us not think about that; we •were here, and now have a busy night oefore us if we get away safely. Give me the rope first. Good! Here, Nob, you must know how to use this—not too tight, but without leaving any play to the arms; take the knife out of his fceK. Now for the cloth, Miss Maclaire." , "Please do not call me that!" ' "But you said it didn't make any difference what I called you." "I thought It didn't then, but it does now." "Oh, I see; we are already on a new footing. Yet I must call you something." She hesitated just long enough for -fetav to notice i t -Btther she had no substitute ready at hand, or else doubted the advisability of confiding her real, name under present circumstances to one so nearly a stranger. )f "You may call me Hope." * A name certainly of good omen," he returned/ "From this moment I shall forget Christie Maclaire, and remember only Miss Hope. All right, Net); now turn over a chair, and Bit your man up against i t He will rest all the easier in that position until his gang arrives." He thrust his head out of the door, peering cautiously forth into the night, r.nd listening. A single horse, probably the one Hawley had been riding, was tied to a dwarfed cottonwood near the corner of the cabin. Nothing else living was visible* "I am going to round up our horses, and learn the condition of Hawley's outfit," he announced in a low voice. "I may be gone for fifteen or twenty minutes, and, meanwhile, Miss Hope, get ready for a long ride. Neb, stand here close beside the door, and if any one tries to come In brain him with your gun-stock. I'll rap three times 'When I return." H e slipped out Into the silent night, and crept cautiously around the end of the dark cabin. The distinct change in the girl's attitude of friendship toward him, her every evident desire that he should think well of her, together with the providential opportunity "for escape, had left him full pf ^ ¾ confidence. The gambler had played * <J Wtodly Into, their hands, and Keith was- 'quick enough to accept the advantage. It was a risk to himself, to be sure, thus turning again to the northward, yet the clear duty he owed thft gfti toft such a choice almost inv peiatlVe, He certainly could not drag liar along with him an his flight into the wild Comanche country extending beyond the Canadian.

This plan settled, he went at It swiftly, riding the captured animal while rounding up-tiie others, and fastening' the three to stunted trees on the opposite bank. Bjtatytbing within the cabin remained exactly as he had'left it, and he briefly explained the situation, etaming Haw* ley's bonds again carefully while doing so. "Hall remain there all right until his men find him," he declared, positively, "and* that ought to give us a good six hours' start. Come, Miss Hope, every minute counts now." . He held her arm, not unconscious of Its round shapeliness, as ha helped bar down the rather steep bank through the dense gloom. Then the two men joined hands, and carrying her between them, waded the shallow stream. The horses, not yet sufficiently ratted to be frisky, accepted their burdens meekly enough, and, with scarcely a word spoken, the three rode away silently into the gloom of the night CHAPTER XII. ' • ' • ' ; • ' • ' • / - — ' . . : : . « Through the Night Shadow*. Keith had very little to guide him. as he could not determine whether this Waterloo* cabin on the Salt Jtark lay t o east or wast of the usual cattle trail leattmg down to the Canadian Yet ha felt reasonably assured that the general trend of the aoontry lyiag between the amaMep-Mrtereanv and the tmttey of tha A#ssA%aaa_would be.similar to that with whiah-ka was already acquainted.

No one of the three felt like speaking; the gloomy, brooding desert oppressed them, their vagrant thoughts assuming the tinge of their surrundlngs; their hope centered on escape. Keith rode, grasping the rein of the woman's horse In hie left hand, add bedding low in vain effort at pick- Ing a path. He had nothing to aim toward, yet sturdy confidence In his expert pJalaacraft yielded him sufficient sense of direction. He had noted the bark of the cottonwoods, the direction, of the wind*' and steered a course accordingly straight northward, alert to avert any variation. \ The girl rode easily, although in a man's saddle, the stirrups much too long. Keith glanced aside with swift approval at the erectnee* with which she sat, the loosened rein in her hand, t i p slight swaying of her form.

Who' who is that jean? p o you "I possess a passing acquaintance," he answered, uncertain yet how mud to tell her, but tempted to reveal all in test of her real character. "Few do not who live along thn Kansas border." "Do you mean he is a notoriously bad character?" "I have never heard of his being held up as a model to the young, Miss Miss Hope," he returned more soberly, convinced that she truly possessed no real knowledge regarding th6 man, and was not merely pretending Innocence. "I had never heard him called Hawley before, and, therefore, failed to recognize him under that respectable name. But I knew his voice the moment he entered the cabin, and realized that 'Borne devilment was afoot. Every town along this frontier has his record, and I've met him maybe a dozen times In the past three years. He Is known as "Black Bart;' is a gambler by profession, a_desperado_by reputation, and a cur "by nature. Just now I suspect him of being even deeper in the mire than this." He could tell by the quick clasping of her hands on the pommel of the saddle the effect of his words, but waited until the silence compelled her to speak. "Oh, I didn't know! You do not believe that I ever suspected such a thing? That I ever met him there understanding who he was?" "No, I do not," he answered. "What I overheard between you convinced me you were the victim of deceit But your going to that place alone was a most reckless act." She lifted her hand to her eyes, her head drooping forward. "Wasn't it what he told me—the out-station of a ranch?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) TRAINING IN GOOD MANNERS Begin When Boy Is Young, and Politeness Is Bound to Become 8econd Nature. Long before I had any sons of my own I made up my mind that, If I ever had the training of a boy, I should begin, as soon as he could understand anything, to teach him the small things that constitute good manners. So many boys I have known, and men, too, who at heart are good ana kind and really refined, yet lack so large a part of the little courtesies that It is hard to believe they have been well brought up. In most cases it is the fault of the mother. She . feels that it is much more Important to form the character of a little boy, that his manners can wait till he is older. The result is that one sees boys and men who rarely forget to be polite outside of their homes, and yet seem to think it unnecessary to treat their own mother in the same way. My view la that there is no need to neglect the character because you pay attention to the manners. I think I have succeeded. As soon as my first little boy wore trousers I taught him tha he must take off his hat as soon as he came into the house or when a lady spoke to him in the street That he must rise from his chair when I came at the dining table, must never walk out of the room before a lady, and all the other little polite ways we Hke to see in men. It has never been any trouble to keep him up to these things; he learned so young that it soon became second nature.—Harper's Bazar. y/try Taking Platform. Governor Dix, at a dinner in the Hotel Manhattan in New York, said of politics: "Sneering at politics, the Goncourta once said that no party could ever lose office If it gave the people free fireworks every night and free vaudeville every day. "But I heard of a candidate in the south who went the Goncourti one better. M 'Fellow citizens/ he shouted from the stump, 'my platform is just this: First, no pay for any elected candidate. Second, pensions for all voters.' " Wolfboro, N. 11.--The attention i3 frequently drawn to note the number •)f elderly ]>eoul<3 employed at gardening. The occupation most conducive to long life, tilling the soil, seems to hold a never failing charm and adaptability to those to whom, through weight of years, all other labor has become either distasteful or exhausting.

"Now that you are married," said, the experienced minister to the young curate, "you will have to stop using the church Bible for home study. Oh, yes, I know how it Is. You get attached to a certain Bible, and can study better with that right under your nose, and would willingly pack it back and forth for the inspiration It affords. I've been through it. Used to do that very thing myself, but after half a dozen veils and a pair of gloves and some little lacey things that I shall not attempt to specify floated down from the pulpit on Sunday mornings in view of the astonished and amused congregation, I accustomed myself to two BibleB.

Brownsville, Tex,—The most BOuth ern point of mainland territory in the United States is on a sharp bend oi the Rio Grande river about 20 mile? southwest of Brownsville. The government official survey shows that its latitude is 25 degrees and 0 minutes, which places it below the most south' ern part of the peninsula of Florida but not as far south as Key West. The spbt is marked by a group of picturesque Mexican ranch buildings with their thatched roofs. Growing upon the land are groves of 'wild palm trees which lend to the beauty of the tropical scene. The distance between Brownsville and the mouth of tho Rio Grande in a direct line is approximately 22 miles, but. the river has so many curvatures that its course between the two points cover 110 miles, according to the survey of the international boundard commission, which is composed of the PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA CAME FROM TEETHING "When my little girl was about eight months old, she was taken with a very irritating breaking out, which came on her face, neck and back. When she first came down with it, It came in little watery-like festers under her eyes, and on her chin, then after a few days it would dry down In scaly, whitescabs. In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething. I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all. Then I wrote for a book on Cuticura, and purchased some Cuticura Soap and Ointment at the drug store. I did as I found directions in the Cuticura Booklet, and when she was one- year ©4eV she was entirely cured. Now she is three years and four^months, and she has never been troubled with eczema since she was cured by the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

Nation's Most Southern Point. representatives of the United States and Mexican governments. Before the river empties into the gulf it makes a sharp bend to the south, and thii rounded peninsula forms the most southern mainland of the country. Most of the territory between Brownsville and the Rio Grande's mouth is covered by dense wilderness or chaparral. The soil is of primitive richness, caused by the periodical deposits of silt from the stream's overflow. Owing to the inaccessibility of the little Mexican ranch, which holds the distinction of 'marking the most southern spot, the place has been visited by very few Americans. A Ftlthsrlitt Chicken.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, September 14, 1911 No. 37 i & Broadway Tailoring Brought Into . Every Town . Yon may may live a thousand miles from the debonair splendor of Broadway or Michigan Boulevard. Yet right in thiB very store, right in your own shopping district—there's a Boyal Tailoring Department, waiting to link to your wardrobe the needlework and craftsmanship of a master New York or Chicago tailor. Here, in this store, the cream of the richest and rarest Fall woolens to be found in the most exclusive bigcity tailor shops are on display—ready for your delectation and choice. Here you can select a design of suit or overcoat, to be built to your individual body requirements and body dictates, that would be authentic and complementing in any gathering of well dressed men. Because this service is 5,000 stores instead of one—because if> cost is shared by a nation of buyers instead of ji single tailor's small community—it gives to you the bestTn tailoring at often HALF^tbe small tailor's prices; and NO MORE, at any time, than the price of "taken-off-theshelf' store clothes. But more than this—Royal Service is a Service JOL certainties. It makes satisfaction in clothes-buying a surety to you—not a hazard. The Royal Tailors i . #5- •. ' * Represented By IW. W.

Being shown the article and informed that the price was $1.15, he said: ,4Why, I can get that same kind 01 an ax from a mail order house for ninety cents," "Very well," said the hardware man; " I will yive it to you for the same price, providing you will do the same with me as you will do with it.', "All right," replied the customer, as he handed over a dollar bill, the merchant giving him back ten cents in change. "Now," said the hardware man, "I want 25 cents more to -pax express charges," ^which the purchaser gave him. How much didryour ax cost you?" "One dollar and fifteen cents," the man answered. "Very good. Now give mo 5 cents more for a money order foes and postage," which the purchaser had to hand over. "Now how much did your ax oost you?" "One dollar and twenty cents," said the customer. "Not so cheap after all," said the merchant, whereupon he picked up 'the ax, tossed it back on the shelf, and told the customer to call for it in ten days as that would be as soon as he could get it if he had ordered it from the mail order house. i r FALL T I M E 1 3 FLY TIME Now it the time to buy that gallon of Zenoleum Fly Skoot and protect your horses and cows from the flies SFRAYBR FRBB WITH EACH GALLON Pinckney Opera House The engagement of "Tempest and Sunshine" n dramatization of Mary J. Holmes' popular novel, which is scheduled for Friday evening, September 15th at che Pinckney Opera House, on which date Brondon and Murray will present the Parker piece, is creating widespread interest amoug all classes of theatre goers in this village. It is now an established fact that "Tempest and Sunshine" is the most successful production ever launched. Ths theme of the play deals with the direct opposites in temperment of two sisters and the complications in consequence. It is vivid and truthful in its pro* trayal and cannot fail to enlist the interest of-all who see it. The scenery is beautitul, everything used in the representation being carried by the company. The costuming^ is quaint and pretty, made in the fashion of 1850 which is the period of the play. The story is strong and interesting dealing principally with the southern aristocracy an is releived with much comedy. Southern melodies are introduced tnroughout the play.

Z JP£ &• ILLNMET MONG the garnest of salt water fish and the one that affords great sport to the angler Is the blackflsh of eastern waters. There are those who claim that salt water fishing lacks one of the essentials of true sport, there being no casting or other fine rod work to be done. They maintain, and not unjustly, that as much skill Is needed to lure some of the fresh water varieties to the bait as to land them after a strike, and that one misses the keen battle of wit against Instinct and natural warirjess. / j i of which, while true, doeB not alter the fact that surroundings play an all-important part In the full enjoyment of a day's outing with rod and reel, a thing even the IAHDIHG A &IQ OMt most enthusiastic angler would soon come to realize were it posgible to catch the highly prized varieties from_Jhe_jmpictuxfisfluo docks -along the water fronts of our cities. There is inborn within all of us a keen love of the beautiful in nature and in the appeal made to it by the country into which we are taken lies much of the fascination of angling. We are stirred by the swish of the wind through the swaying trees, the murmur of thes* brook, the silence of the deep pool among the rocks, the placid lake, the fragrance and mystery of the wild woods. And is not the sea every bit as fascinating? Indeed, once experienced, one never again escapes the subtle spell it weaves about one with its saltladen breezes, its wonderful skies, the great body of water sparkling in the sunshine, the silvery beaches, rocky ledges and luxuriant green shores. The blackflsh inhabits localities that show the sea at its best and he is so game and crafty a fighter as to leave nothing to wish for on this score. It is not for nothing that he has won for himself the name of "bulldog of the Bea." His large, powerful jaw Is of iron, and he will dispute eyery inch of Une, resorting to all mann e r of clever tricks in order to free :liimself. He is never caught until you have him safely in the boat and the t skiralsh4>etween^urwttr^ncelyend In bis getting away with the best part at *our Jtacklfi _unleaa your band is . skMed and your attention unwavering. \ The blackflsh u to be found along the shores of New York, Connecticut,' Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Old fishermen claim that bis appearance mortb of Rhode Island is comparative- B|v of recent date. In days gone by, when the Indians roamed the territory at will, he had place among their choicest table delicacies and we are told that the Mohegans, who called him "tautog," held him in high esteem as a spring and fall food. The name of blackflsh, evidently due to the fish's color, is not a particularly fortunate one. Though the black is of a dark gray and mottled, the sides are dJecMerfly lighter and the under part almost white. The blackflsh inhabits the vicinity of rocky ledges, reefs and rough bott o m l a n d shows a, decided preference far places where the tide runs swiftly. Here he will lie in ambush behind some sheltering rock and" await the passage of shrimp and small crabs carried down by the tide. When he spies his prey he darts out with lightning rapidity, pounces upon it and darts back to cover. This predilection for tidal flues hag won Mm the name of "tide runner" in certain facilities. He is also found inside the „ « « J « K hook into the protruding neck of the sandy bays along the. southern shore* c l A I D of Long Island and on the ocean banks i twisting it around until it is off Sandy Hook. In fact, the largest speci-mens are to be caught in these localities, and this, added to a Blight • *r tween the rock and the sand catches, has led; to the belief that there are two distinct varieties of blackflsh, which U not the case. Only one exists. ", •:.•'•:.' Wondrous tales are told tn the eastern fish market regarding the size of some of the blackflsh brought in from the banks and there are those who wilt swear to having seen BO pounders weighed. Like the majority of extraordinary flea stories they cannot be credited. No specimen tipping the scale even at 20 pounds Is authentically on record, and ten pounders arei Considered a wonderful rsr- - i t y ^ Men who fish constantly claim thai tim, season's average /show* a prejendiaJBftce of two and three pounder*, with a few five, six or even •even pocnders to boast of.

They ieneralhr <rett$ra laden, with. spoils for the haunts of the blackflsh. Here they anchor and remain all day, seldom fatltng^trj laTrd~a~goo^" catch: " Small launches make the best means of conveyance, because they enable one to reach the likeliest ledges (those near shore are pretty well fished out) and because their shallow draft permits of their running safely into the rocky places inhabited by the fish. Sailboats are rather dangerous in this respect and it is no rare occurrence to see one hung up high and dry by the falling tide. Rowboats are very convenient for near-shore fishing, but rather risky. Squalls arc- likely to come up at any moment and make matters more than ' interesting for the fishers. The blackflsh is said never to desert his home waters and it is a fact that he never visits the rivers like do the salmon and the sturgeon to lay his spawn. At the advent of the cold weather he becomes torpid and goes into hibernation, not emerging again into life until spring. April makes the return of his appetite and fishermen time the period of his reappearance with the flowering of the dogwood. Prom then until November he can be caught, though there ia a time in mid-summer, during the excessive heat, when he will only_be_Jtempled.hy the daintiest of delicacies. By September he is feeding voraciously: again, however, so the slack season only lasts a few weeks. The bait commonly used for blackflsh is the soft-shell clam and the fiddler crab. Knowing anglers swear variously by shrimp, hermit crab, sandworm, hard clam and the tail-end of a chicken lobster as, irresistible morsels when the fish are not biting well, but, &B a rule, there is no necessity for special bait. The securing of a soft-shell clam on the hook is a task that requires consummate skill. Wherever lives the blackflsh is to be fpund also in great abundance the small fish called the bergalt or cunner, and the bergalt has a particular fondness for claras afad fiendish cleverness in separating them from a hook. While he is about it you feel a few gentle nibbles and then motion ceases. You pay no attention, of course, but alter waiting vatnly for trhite you decide to inspect the bait and find to your surprise that it is gone. The hook is picked as clean as a whistle, A motionless line, free from nibbles has come to indicate a baitless hook to the seeker of the blackflsh. The most effective way of cheeking the predatory instinct of the bergalt is to bait with the entire clam, shell and all. This is done by inserting the firmly imbedded into the hard muscle of the bivalve and then cracking the shell lightly.

On Saturdays and senta an. armored surface to the begalt which he attempts vainly to break through. The vast majority of blackflsh anglers being fishermen rather than sportsmen, and counting* 4he day's enjoyment only from the standpoint of the catch, scruple not to minimize as much as possible the fish's chances of escape. They use heavy hand lines provided with two or three good hooks, and when a fish strikes it becomes merely a matter of hauling it in, hand over hand. There are others, though, who have the right sporting blood and believe in equalising matters so that skill will have to be brought into play. They use light rather than stiff poles, preferably of split bamboo, and bass lines. The blackflsh, being a bottom fish, i f is necessary to anchor the line. This is done4$ s e w i n g a small sinker to the end. Above It are spliced two leaders a foot or »0 apart, each bearing a hook, the alas of which depends on the individual's, idea; of what is proper. These ideas evidently vary greatly, for a wide rahge is seen. To greedily on clams, only to reverse & few hours later. It has therefore been found wisdom to offer them both baits at once. Landing a blackflsh with rod and reel is an interesting and exciting pastime. His dash for the bait is so sudden and his retreat so swift that one is often taken unawares. There are no warning nibbles, no quiet swimming off with the line. It is a case of grab and run for cover. Therefore must one be ever alert and stop him as soon as he bites. Luckily, there is no fear of his spitting out the bait; he seizes boldly and generally hooks himself fast. The danger lies in another direction—in his great strength and wonderful cunning. He has you both ways. If you stop him too suddenly he will throw all his weight on the line and snap it off before you know it; if you try to play him loosely he will dart behind some rock, snarl the line, and it will either snap or saw off when you try to free it. One must know one's business thoroughly to be successful and also be constantly on the qui vlve. And even then accidents will occur. The wise flsberman always has extra tackle with him. It is generally conceded that blackfish bite best on the rising tide and one cannot deny that exceptions prove the rule, but in more than one instance the- writer has -hauled in goodstrings on the ebb tide, and the largest catch he ever witnessed— in number, not in size—was made during the first three hours of a falling tide. Weather conditions are said to influence the biting of blackflsh. A wellknown writer on game fish gives it as his opinion that ideal conditions are clouded skies and sufficient breeze to Just ruffle the water without stirring it. The writer's experience and that of several of his angler friends has been that weather makes very little difference. A common belief, in no way substantiated, is that blackflsh have a keen sense of hearing. Novices are always cautioned to make as little noise as possible. It is also said that thunder so frightens the blaek&sh that they will cease from bitrqg at _the first peal; and to this is added the_ legend that after sharp crashes of lightning a number are to be found floating around on the surface dying or dead. Not the least good point ot the blackflsh is his toothsomeness. Fresh caught and cooked on the embers, he offers a morsel fit for the gods. The flesh is firm, savory and possessed of a delicious flavor. But, to the writer, the greatest charm In blackfishlng lies in the beautiful nooks and enchanting little islands about his haunts where one can go ashore either for a few hours or, if the spirit moves, for several days of camping. Nothing is more delightful than to idle away the time in such pleasant surroundings, fishing, bathing and boating. And the catch will not be wasted* for the blackflsh is strong and hardy and will suffer no ill effects from being confined alive to a tank or small pool for a few days. w 4 l the writer a it h*»«*e*«d to beat fill requirement!.

By H. H. MUSSELMAN, Instructor in Farm Engiaeiruf, Michifta Agricaitural Colitis A Telephone Bluff. At 101st street and Broadway a man was talking into a telephone, says the New York Times. Presently he was heard to say: "All right, I'll come. I am now at 23rd street and Broadway. Ill be up in about half an hour." "That chap seems to have lost his bearings," said a man who had overheard the error in locality. "He knows where he is, all right," said a drug clerk. "He's just putting up a bluff. It is quite a common bluff. Men who have a mighty regard for truth at all other times do not hesitate to tell a whopper over the telephone.

The history of agricultural machinery has been one of extremely rapid development within comparatively recent years. The trend of development has been toward the application of power to hand processes. The history of manufacturing shows the same course. We are told that the extended use of power has made the work of the world less arduous and shortened the hours of labor. Man's progress depends largely upon his capacity to do work, which is the result of the expenditure of energy. The use of power has* multiplied his capacity a hundredfold. The man with the hoe, dull and uncomprehending, is passing, and in his stead we find the man with wits keen to direct and hands skilled to control the energy which doubles his own a score, whether it be the four-horse team, the steam engine, or the gasoline tractor. Through the agency of well adapted agricultural machines he has been able to direct this energy into useful work, the effectiveness and nicety of which the unaided hand of man could never equal. This year at Winnipeg, Canada, Was held~a competition of motor trac-~ tors, steam, gasoline and kerosene. Here were met thirty-one outfits from half as many companies. For three weeks these machines were subjected to the severest testa on the brake and in the field under actual working conditions. Virgin prairie sod, the toughest task the plowman has ever encountered, was severed and upturned with a rapidity and ease amazing to the layman. What was the purpose of it all? Primarily to determine the adaptibility of the various types of machines to the work for which they are intended, but in a larger sense to develop and perfect a machine which means the making of the northwest. We are accustomed to the use of power on the farm in Michigan. The principal sources are the windmill, the gasoline engine, the steam engine, and the horse. The field has been divided and to the lighter duties have been assigned the windmill and the gasoline engine. The Bteam engine handles the heavier duties to which it is adapted, but to man's most faithful friend, the horse, falls the greater share. The steam engine has never been seriously considered as a field machine in Michigan on account of its weight and unwleldiuesa on the comparatively smalt fields and farms. There is being brought forth today, "however; the right- Internal combuation tractor intended for general purpose work upon the farm. It has not CONTROL OF SQUASH BUGS By R. H. PETTTT, Entomologist, Michigan Agricultural College »e»e»eeeeMeee«seeae+aeeefr« Everyone knows the large black stink-bug or squash-bug of the garden and field. All of us have tried to kill it by sprays, dust baths and what not, but still the stink-bug flourishes. There seems to be no wash or powder that will kill the bug without at the same time killing the plants. * The eggs of these marauders are red in color, and quite large; they are laid in patches on the leaves, for the most part, on the under side. The young bugs that come from these eggs resemble the adults very much except in their proportions and in size, although of course they lack the wings. Not only do the bugs attack the vines, piercing them with their as yet proven its worthy but many are looking forward to its advent with the keenest interest. Can such a machine find a field of usefulness, and if so what would be the basis of its adoption? Suppose we give the matter of the amount of power furnished some consideration and in so doing leave out all other factors. We will compare roughly the power furnished by the tractor with that furnished by the horse. At present the unit of power Is the horse. This unit may he combined, into the two, three and even the four-horle Team. The latter is about the limit of power tliat one man can handle advantageously. The average horse is able to develop nearly a unit horsepower when used continuously. One horsepower here is intended to mean the unit used in measuring work. A man then driving a fourhorse team would be able to control the energy equal to four-horsepower. If he were using a twenty horsepower tractor which should develop, roughly speaking, about fifty per cent, of the total horsepower at the draw bar, he should then have from 6-10 horsepower available for effective work with- -the—engine working - a t -some* where near its full load. All other things being equal, the balance would be in favor of the tractor since it would enable one man to control a greater amount of power. Aside from the question of power furnished there is a question of adaptability which the manufacturer is assiduously working out. An example of what we mean by adaptibility may be shown by the following: A fourrhorse team may be divided and each horse or unit used complete in itself, this adapting it to smaller yet Important details of work. In the tractor this would manifestly be impossible, but on the other hand the tractor through its construction and efficiency would be found especially valuable for belt work where horses can be used to very little advantage. There are many questions of design such as types of engines, gears, clutches, height, height and width of drivers, kind of lugs for effective traction, weight, etc., which time and experience together must determine. If, however, we can add to the size and adaptibility of the now commonly understood and used gasoline or kerosene engine, obtain fuel at a reasonable cost, and shift a proportionately larger share of the work upon thiB unfeeling machine, then it will surely And favor.

" \ WEE;D CONTROL IN AUTUMN By R.S.SHAW Seeding* of clover and grass seed mixtures for hay and pasturage are quite universally made along with winter wheat, rye, barley or oats. While .ifcese crops are growing the weeds are kept in subjection, but after harvest their competition in growth with the clover and timothy begins promptly and vigorously. The number; and varieties , of weeds will depend somewitot on the locality and care exercised In operating the farm. Canada thistles, ragweed, pigweed, foxtail, etc., are among the commonest kinds found. It is not uncommon for ragweed and foxtail to overtop the new seeding and mature their seeds perfectly. Most of these weeds can be prevented from seeding by clipping, with the cutter bar of the mower tilted up so as not to Injure the new clover seeding. If the growth It heavy it may be permitted to cure and then raked up and stored for win* ter forage for sheep, otherwise destroyed. This work can usually be done during August or September at times when farm work is not pressing. Of the weeds which seed In this way at this time, the ragweed is probably most persistent and pernicious. The practice -Just advocated ia pursued on the Michigan Agricultural College farm in case die seedlngs are not pastured by sheep.

The increased premiums and special prizes will bring forth the very best in horseflesh, and the gorgeous horse show will be put on as a prelude to the magnificent fireworks spectacle in front of the grand Btand. Motor Hall will also be kept open evenings and the immense display of autos on the firoi floor, with the Industrial exhibit and electrical show on the second floor, will be a most interesting part of the fair.

The reform has already begun and a brave i)xtle stenographer in a downtown New York office is the first champion of the cause.

Some, like Dr. Mary Walker, had the courage of their convictions and dressed like__ra_en, because they found men's clotheB much more comfortable than their own. Others have put on coat and trousers in order the better to earn their living and have wept when they were discovered and had to resume the conventional apparel of their sex.

In a communication to the Breeder's Gazette extolling ,the virtues of the dairy Shorthorn H. W. Avery says: I am a farmer in central New York and make cattle the main issue. Milk from the herd brings money every day in the year, and every week or so the butcher hands me a Dice check for a beef animal. I am entirely satisfied with the returns from the herd. It brought me over $8,000 last year, more than half of which was net profit. 1 imagine they would be called dual purpose cows, the kind of cows that will not down, notwithstanding the insistent didactic statements of the self styled "special purpose" men to the contrary.r Ninety-nine per cent_of cows are ke^pt because their owners make money out of them or hope to. A cow that brings her owner a profit is really a special purpose cow kept especially for that purpose, whether it be from beef alone, from milk alone or from milk and beef combined. Six years ago 1 decided that the dairy Shorthorn was the best money maker for me in the cow line, and the results have not • disappointed me. Last winter I visited England to look over the dairy Shorthorns. It was not bard to find many splendid cows of the type that will give lots of milk and make good beef when required The English records for a day's production are in excess of ours, but the 0 0 YEArt* EXPERIENCE TftAM MARKS DEMONS COPYRIGHT* 4 6 .

Geer Notary PoMtcrwttb $&\ PINCKNBY MICH TrTe dairy Shorthorn cow Amy V., here illustrated, owned by Samuel Sanday, Cheshire, England, is a good example- of trrts~type of cattle. She gave over sixty pounds of milk in a day at the London dairy show last October. Amy V. is a handsome cow with dairy conformation, a capacious, well placed udder and a frame that carries lots of meat a* yearly production is not so great, owing to the desire of the English breeder to nave his cow go dry and produce a calf every year. Darlln^on Cranford V. of Lord Rothschild's herd has given in ten years a total of 101,746 pounds of milk, or an nverage of 10,- 174.6 pounds per annum, and she produced eleven calves, once twins, it was Interesting to note that the milk as produced by this herd and weighed for each cow made a total of 004,880 pounds for 1D10. and the weight of the same milk sold was 503.715 pounds, or a shortage of less than fifteen pounds* per cow for the year. Experiments With Horsaf. During the years 1909-10 experiments were conducted on-four Danish farms for the purpose of determining the relative value of oats and Indian corn,' of oats and mangels or rutabagas and of whole and cut straw in feeding work horses of the Jutland breed. The main experiment period lasted, as a rale, from two to three months. By substituting corn for oats two pounds of corn was found equal to two pounda of oftta i s the grain ration, and some straw was saved by making this change. When about four pounds of o*ts was replaced by roots in a ration of from twenty to twenty-four pounds of oats two pounds of diy matter in the roots proved equal to two pounds of dry matter i s the oats. Such a change in the ration, did not apparently produce any Injurious effects on the health or working capacity of the horses. No Prowt In SorubS.

' Whether In the main we are retrograding or improving, there is one matter in which men have been steadily growing better. That is in their treatment of women. Half a century ago among young men of the world there was not the high sense of honor in the treatment of women there is now. In the days of palatial steamboats, as they were called, on the Mississippi Roland Storms, traveling between St. Louis and New Orleans, met on the boat Adele Southwood, a young girl seventeen years old. Storms, who was ten years Miss South wood's senior, had considered making a "conquest" now and then one of those accomplishments that was to be expected of a young swell of the period. To him love was a game in which all was fair. If beaten at it be would have considered that nothing remained fit him but to take the consequences. If he beat the girl it was her part to grin and bear i t Miss Southwood was not only ignorant of such warfare, but was a girl of deep feeling. She and Storms would sit on the guards during the day looking out upon the ever changing panorama, now passing under some high bluff, now sailing above the surrounding lowlands on a river built up by the levees, to the evening they would go up on to the hurricane deck, watching the lights on the shore go by and. when the boat'stopped to "wood up," looking down on the line of deck hands in the glare of pitch pine knots transferring a wood pile to the boat for fuel. All this was new to Miss Southwood, and what was not only new but much more fascinating to an Impressible girl was having a young man in constant attendance, saying pleasant things to her one moment, talking seriously the next and finally laughing at her for being so matter of fact In this way he kept her In a puzzled state as to whether a mature man was really falling in love with her, a chit of a girl, or whether he considered her merely a child. Storms before reaching the Crescent City talked love to her—such love as pertains to the emotions without any prosaic references to marriage. But she was too unsophisticated to consider this. To her it was spontaneous love, something she had never experienced before and the more serious features of which were still a blank to her. At New Orleans the two partedV Miss Southwood to remain there for the winter, which was coming on, Mr. Storms going by the gulf of Mexico •-to-Teiasr Ther young girt considered that the event of her life had occurred, the young_man that n pleasant episode had occurre(TJtd~lrelieve the tedium of steamboat travel. This Is what he considered It at the time. He did not know that a seed had been planted in his heart which was not destined to germinate for a long while. He knew that this case was In some respects different from his many other affairs, but he did not consider it any more serious. It was four years before he met Miss Southwood again. He was walking on the principal street of Cincinnati, swinging a cane, a "beaver" on his head, a velvet coliar on his frock coat, a profusion of cravat on his bosom, his tight trousers strapped down over his instep, in short, dressed for a swell of the period, when he met, incaled in a diminutive bonnet of pink silk, one of the sweetest faces he had ever beheld. It belonged to a lady about twenty-one years old. and she was looking at him intently. In an instant he recognized the girt he had flirted with on the Mississippi and jilted at New Orleans.

Every now and then we hear ol some one dying in bitter poverty aft^f .having spent a fortune In " b e i r ^ ' B good fellow." Of such a one \*4 \% c o m xnonly Bald while he is^ i i i v e and spending that he has a 'heart \\^9 an ox and a hand a l w ^ U e e p l n h l a pocket;" he is s ^ £ e n of—frequently within hla owr^ bearing—a8 a "prince among m e n V o r "one or nature's noblemjBn," \ c seems passing strange that a mr^a with the power to attract to ^>ni8elf so many warm friends should not have any willing to pay his funeral expenses, says the New York Herald. Yet such is often the case. It is a fact frequently commented on by philosophers that these peerages of cafe creation die with the fortunes that produce them. A real "prince among men" or "nature's nobleman" loses his title when hla money ceases to burn holes In his pocket, after which he should set aside a little money for his own obsequies. But those who argue from the forlorn and friendless passing of one of these "good fellows" that there are no real friend* to be had in this world are wrong. Every one can make friends, and stanch ones, too, by the practice of unselfishness, but not by wasting money on the ^worthless In the Tain hope of being considered a "good fellow," which is merely another name for a complete fooL D>JYS TO FORCE SUBMISSION IN E L E V E N , W E T S IN SEVENTEEN NEXT SPRING. THE ASTOR W ^ f f l l There's a new health-fad, blowing soap bubbles. A New Yorker who has just returned from a vacation trip to the Saranac lake region saw in one of the villages there a number of people, young, middle-aged and elderly, with clay pipes and glasses of suds, vying with one another in the childish pastime. Narrating his experience to a reporter, he exclaimed: "1 inquired of one resident if the place had become a retreat for the mildly Insane, and he told me that they were all people who had-—or thought they had—weak lungs. A doctor from New York was up there last winter and Introduced soap-bubble blowing as one of the aids in the cure of consumption. It makes the patients breathe deeply." It is plausible as many another therapeutic novelty, and certainly no harm can come of i t A little wbile ago there was some amusement because two American women had married Frenchmen claiming to be able to give them the title of-Duch.es* of Chofseul, and each questioned the right of the other to the title. Now •here will be more a m u s e m e n t Litigation has brought out the fact that it belongs to neither of them, though the husband of ^1.9 of them, formerly Mrs. Paine, is the seventh Duke of Praslln. The cable says of two Hungarian statesmen who engaged In a duel the other 4 a y that "both were wounded In the fifth bout." Usually they get scratched on their right arms. Luther Burbank Is on the wrong track in working to evolve a seedless watermelon. Picking out the seeds keeps people from eating the w a t e r melon faster than they should. We are told that King Manuel Is taking great Interest in the efforts of the royalists to place him back on the throne. If the young man does not h a r e a care he will overwork himself. The claim that one of those French aviators made 165 miles an hour must await verification. It may be true, but an official statement would inspire more ready belief. Former Senator Clark of Montana has had a $126,000 pipe organ placed in his New York house, but he doea not as yet seem to have bought any golden cuspidors. A New York physician advocates the placing of enormous traps at the street corners to catch flies. Why not make 'am big enough to take in the corner loafers?

The bride waB given away by her father, Win, Force,. It had been reported that Rev. E. S. Straight, the carpenter-preacher of Providence, would perform the ceremony, but for some reason his services were not accepted. The officiating clergyman, is reported to have received a $1,000'fee. The nuptials were brief and simple. The girl-bride was the coolest memher of the party. She went through her part of the ceremony with an air that seemed to some of the bystanders to be slightly bored. The new mistress of the Astor millions stepped into her new position as though it were a matter of little importance. Counties Where Drys Will Fight. Leelanau Grand Traverse Manistee Wexford Mason Berrien Lake Mecosta Roscommon Washtenaw Ottawa Twenty-eight counties of Michigan are feeling th3 pressure of either the Michigan Anti-Saloon league or the Michigan Brewers' association in the effort to force them into the local option fight next spring. It is very probable that in all these counties the question will be submitted to the people for a vote. Of the 28 counties 11 are wet and the drys are circulating petition for submission or re-submission of the question .of saloons or no saloons. The remaining 17 are dry, %nd the brewers arc organizing them for rne campaign to throw them back into the wet column. In all the counties the boards of supervisors will meet Oct. 9 and the petitions for submission of the_local option question, -signed "~by" one-third" of the voters, must be in by that date to be acted upon. This gives the workers about one month to obtain the number" of signatures required by law to the petitions, and with the return of the "wet" and "dry" leaders the agitation of the voters in those counties which are eligible to vote has begun.

He was a great lover of music and the opera, as well as an accomplished flute player, and his affliction filled him with despondency. THE GLEANERS. Vote to Stay Away When Visits Fair. Taft The Gleaners, a farmers' organization of Northville, at a special meeting, passed resolutions asking all members of the local organization to refrain from attending the state fair at Detroit, Sept. 18, for the reason that President Taft would be there that day. _ % The reason for the action is that the Gleaners regard Taft as responsible for the Canadian reciprocity pact. They think the trade agreement will hurt the American farmer, and they don't want to be at a state fair where he will speak. The resolutions call upon all the Gleaners of the state "to do likewise." Village of Chapin Destroyed. The village of Chapin, northwest of t h e city of Saginaw, was practically destroyed by fire yesterday. The loss is about $25,000» about one-third covered by insurance. All the business places in town and one residence were burned. The heaviest losers are Herbert Leavitt, barber shop and pool room; C E. Bachelor, general store; Lyone Bros., general store; Odd Fellows' halt and Smith Hathaway, residence. The fire started in the rear of the pqpl room from an unknown source. 1 Charles Jones, manager of the Oregon hotel, formerly of Hastings and Grand Rapids, disappeared after going on a fishing trip several days ago at Portland, Ore.' His friends believe he was drowned or slain. Charged with supplying members •of a thrashing gang with boose, which led them to raise heck in the vicinity of Cloverdale, Charles Collins has been held for trial for violating ttie local option law.

HAS RELAPSE. Alarming Report That the Pope Is Again Seriously III. There is great uneasiness in Vatican circles over the condition of the pope, his holiness having suffered a relapse. So serious is his conditionthat Prof. Marchiafava has been asked to resume his daily visits. While it is announced that the re< lapse is due to a recurrence of the gouty symptoms that so greatly annoyed the pontiff and caused him extreme pain two or three weeks ago.it has been- learned from an undoubted. auhority that in addition to the gout he pope is suffering from consequent uraemic poisoning. Farmer Ki|ied,«Wife and Son Hurt. Benjamin Bietz, aged 55 years, a well known farmer of Hickory Corners, was killed when his horse ran away. His wife was probably fatally injured and their 8-year-old son Wilbur was badly injured. Bietz was driving with his family from his f^rm to Midland park with butter for a resort hotel. His horse became frightened and he pulled up on the lines. When he did so one line broke and the horse ran away. Dashing down the road at a terrific pace, the horse suddenly turned from the-roadway and ran into a tree before the three in the buggy could jump. Beitz was hurled head first a g a i n s t ' t h e tree. His skull was fractured-^and he died soon after the accident. Mrs. Beitz hit the tree also, the left side of her face being crushed in. She has also suffered internal injuries, it is feared. The boy has one broken leg, but it is not believed that he has otner injuries. Ohio Official Gets Three Years. Rodney J.

Diegle's sentence was suspended until eptember 18, to allow the case to be carried to the circuit court. Canada Rejects Fisheries Treaty. Canada has decided not to accept the changes proposed by the United States in the international fisheries treaty of 1908, and the work of years of negotiations is to be rendered ineffective. The official announcement of the Canadian government's position will be made in a few days. Joseph G. Cannon, erstwhile speaker of the house of representatives, will run for congress again in 1912. This was announced by men who are in his confidence. It was further declared that the former speaker will try t o regain the gavel should the house go Republican.

M. Izvolsky, the Russian ambassador at Paris, has been authorized to (ell France that her proposals to Germany are accepted by [Russia as involving her full duties as an ally should Germany follow its rejection by a belligerent act. It is understood that Russia's strategy in such an event will be to hold a sufficient force on Germany's eastern rear guard as to keep half the German army there while an expeditionary army invades Austria through the North Balkans. Before the czar left for Kieff the German and Austrian ambassadors at St. Petersburg-went aboard the royal yacht Standart and bade him a long leave. The farewells were ostensibly friendly but the ambassadors were hiding deep chagrin for they had been unable to carry out successfully a deep-laid and intricate intrigue which it was hoped to give Germany a free hand to deal with France alone on Tand in event of war.

R 0 om H e a rs erdict, The jury in the case of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr,, charged with slaying his wife, returned a verdict of guilty Friday. It required only 58 minutes for the jury to reach..a decision. The 12 men filed out of the courtrom at 5:28 p. m. and at G:26 were back with the verdict. Beattie's nerve was unshaken, there not even being a tremor of his face as the verdict was rendered. Henry Beattie faced the men in the light of three little kerosene lights. "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?" asked Clerk Coghill. "We have," said Foreman Farley. • "What, is it?" Beattie stood and heard the verdict- -announced-.—He rested on "his right hand which held to the desk before him. His left hand was placed on his hip. Not a trace of fear or emotion came to his face. The lips of his father trembled and the old man settled back as far as he could in the chair. A burst of approval of the verdict came from the people packing the courthouse. The judge rapped for order. The jurors were sent back - to their room because they did, not say in what degree they found Beattie guilty. The foreman's verdict read: "We, the jury, find the accused guilty as charged in the indictment." Mr. 'Wendenburg asked the court to have the charge amended to read guilty of murder in the first degree. -The Jury returned to the room and made the verdict guilty of murder in the first degree. The defense immediately made a motion to set aside the verdict. The-judge denied a motion for a new t r i a l s - .. Judge Watson granted a stay of sentence of ninety days, as asked by the defense. . . ^ - . - ^ Members of the jury that convicted Henry Clay Beattie say that their minds were made up before *'-- -'--. ing arguments of the lawyers on both sides were commenced. Beattie himself did the most to bring about, his conviction when he took the stand on his own behalf at the end of the trial, according to several of the jurymen. All of t h e 12 men knew that he was lying; his whole testimony did not carry conviction of the truth of his evidence nor of his in* nocence of the crime charged, against him. Prowler Murder* 7-Year-Oid Girl. The body of 7-year-old Annie Lemberger, of Madison, Wis., who was kidnaped, was found in L a k e Monona. She bad been murdered. The child was stolen from the bed in wfiich she had been sleeping with a sister and her disappearance was not known to her family untilt morning. Examination of the body disclosed no evidence of violence beyond a slight laceration of one ear and a discolor* at ion of the neck, the latter indicating that the child may have been strangled. The only motive for the murder seems to be revenge upon her parents by some enemy at present unknown. Founder of Red Cross is Dying. Clara Barton, founder of the Am* erican Red Cross.

The United States is facing the most severe sugar famine in years. The refineries have hardly £ny stock on hand; there ' U practically So trading in anything but seconds in the New York market; it is impossible to obtain any of last year's European surplus, and the fall crop for the United States threatens to show a large diminution. The price of sugar haa gone up steadily for months. It has risen <v cent and a quarter a pound, wholesale, the. last few weeks, and the fall production not only will not bring about a drop in prices, but may be responsible for a continuation for the increasing price. This is the situation as summed up by sugar experts in the department of agriculture, after a period of reports from all sugar-growing sections of the country, reports on the present condition of the market and estimates on the amount of sugar now held in stock by the refineries.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a border plainsman, is riding along the Bants Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war parties of savages. He notices a camp Are at a distance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and atfuil gallop pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to hunt down the murderers. Keith Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser being a ruffian named Black Bart. He goes to jail fully realising the peril of swift border justice. A companion in his cell Is a negro, who tells him he is Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. Neb says one of the murdered men was John Sibley, the other Gen. WHHs Waite, formerly an officer in the Confederate army. The plainsman and Neb escape from the cell, and later the two fugitives become lost in the sand desert. They come upon a cabin and find Its lone occupant to be a young girl, whom Keith recognizes as a Binger he saw at Carson City. The girl explains that she came there in search of a brother who had deserted from the army. A Mr. Hawley induced her to come to the cabin while he sought to locate her brother. Hawley appears. i"' n* ; & •top the Pain. ejotsMr eat prevents soars/ las sad He* sp «Hao l» tke.oldeat.assi, moat I * \*r'\' *sr, .T^V x.» CHAPTER X.—(Continued.) "" "A murder! Did you imagine he came this way?" "Not very likely; fact of It 1B, the sand storm yesterday destroyed all traces, and, as a result, we've lost him. So I headed a few of the boys over In this direction, as I wanted to relieve you of anxiety." She was silent an instant, and the man crossed to the fireplace, where Keith could gain a glimpse of him. Already suspicious from the familiar sound of his voice, he was not surprised to recognize "Black Bart." The plainsman's fingers gripped the negro's arm, his eyes burning. So this gambler and blackleg was the gentlemanly Mr. Hawley, was he; well, what could be his little game? Why had he inveigled the girl into this lonely spot? And what did he now propose doing with her? As he crouched there, peering through that convenient crack in the door, Keith completely forgot his own peril, Intent only upon this new discovery. She came slowly around the end of the table, and stood leaning against It, her face clearly revealed In the light of the lamp. For the first time Keith really perceived its beauty, Its fresh charm. Could auch as she be singer and dancer In a frontier conc e r t h a l l ? And If-so, wbat-strange conditions ever drove her Into that sort of life? "Is—Is Fred with you?" she questioned, doubtfully. "No; he's with another party riding farther west," the man's eyes surveying her with manifest approval. "You are certainly looking fine to-night, my girl. It's difficult to understand how I ever managed to keep away from you so long." Sho flushed to the hair, her lips trembling at the open boldness of his tone. "I—I prefer you would not speak like that," she protested. "And why not?" with a light laugh. "Come, Christie, such fine airs are a trifle out of place. If I didn't know you were a concert hall artist, I might be more deeply impressed. As it Is, I reckon you've beard love words before now/' "Mr. Hawley, I have trusted you as a gentleman. I never came here except on your promise to bring me to my brother," and she stood erect before- him. "You have no right to even assume that I am Christie Mac!aire." "Sure not; I don't assume. I have seen that lady too often to be mistaken. Don't try on that sort of thing with me—I don't take to it kindly. Perhaps a kiss might put you in better humor." B e took a step forward, as though proposing to carry out his threat, but the girl stopped him, her eyes burning with, indignation. "How dare y o u r she exclaimed pas* sibnately;-ail fear leavtog her in sodden resentment. "Yon think me alone hare and helpless; that yon can insult me at your pleasure. Don't go too far, Mr. Hawley.

Bat you waste your talent oat here on me. Do yon imagine I fear either you, or your precious brother T Why, I could have him hung to-morrow," She was staring at him with wide open eyes* her face white. "What—what do you mean? has Fred done?" He was cold and sarcastic "That makes no difference what I could induce men to be had done. It's easy enough to convict in this country, if you only know how. I simply tell yon this, so you won't press me too hard. Puritanism is out of place west of tba Missoari especially among ladles of your profession..

"While I believed your brother story, I could have played the good Samaritan most beautifully, but after I talked with Willoughby I prefer him at a distance." "My brother story! Do you mean to insinuate you doubt his being my brother? He told you that?" "He gave up the whole trick, You can't trust a kid like that, Christie. A couple of drinks will loosen his tongue, and put you in wrong. Come, now, 1 know it all; be reasonable." Apparently the girl had lost her power of speech, staring blindly at the lace of the man before her, as a bird meets the -slow approach of a snake. Keith could see her lips move, but making no sound. Hawley evidently interpreted her silence as hesitation, doubt as to^his real meaning. "You see where you are at now, ChriBtle," he went on swiftly. "But you don't need to be afraid. I'm going to be a friend to you, and you can be mighty glad you got rid of Willoughy so easily. Why, I can buy you diamonds where he couldn't give you a calico dress.

He reached out and actually grasped her, but in some manner, she tore loose, and sprang back around the end of the table, her cheeks flushed, her eyes burning. "Don't touch met don't dare touch mei" she panted. T o n lie; Fred Willoughby never told you that If you come one step nearer, n i s c r e a m ; I'll call your men hare; I'll tell them the k)nd of a our' you are.** v He laughed, leaning over toward her, yet hesitating, his eyes full of admiration Her very fierceness appealed to him, urged him on. "Oh, I wouldn't! In the first place they probably wouldn't hear, for they are camped down In the corriL I suspected you might be something of a tigress, and preferred to fight it out with you alone. Then, even if they did hear, there would be no Interference— I've got those fellows trained too well for t h a y Coma on, Christie; you're helpless;, here." -Ami IT Tea," you are. -,He took a step toward her, his hands fuag out- With ens qulek movement she sprang aside and extinguished (be lamp, pinnglng the room into Instant darkness. ' A few red ooais glowed dully m the ftreelaca, but an else was dense bJaeknees. Keith beard the movements of Hawley, as he felt his way uncertainly along the table, Then, like a shadow, he glided through the partly open door into the room. CHAPTER XI. The Flgnt in the Dark. Had the room been filled with men Keith could have restrained himself no longer. Whatever her past might be, thiB woman appeated to him strangely; he could not believe—evil of her; he would have died if need be in her defense. But as It was, the ugly boast of Hawley gave confidence in the,final outcome of this struggle in the dark, even a possibility of escape for them all. The gambler, assured of being confronted merely by a frail and not overscrupulous woman, had ventured there alone; had stationed bis men beyond sound; had doubtless instructed them to ignore any noise of struggle which they might overhear within. It was these very arrangements for evil which now afforded opportunity, and Keith crept forward, alert and ready, his teeth clenched, his hands bare for contest. Even although he surprised bis antagonist, it was going to be a fight for life; be knew "Black Bart," broad-shouldered, quick as a cat, accustomed to every form of physical exercise, desperate and tricky, using either knife or gun recklessly. Yet it was now or never for all of them, and the plainsman felt no mercy, experienced no reluctance. He reached the table, and straightened up, silent, expectant For an instant there was no further sound; no evidence of movement in the room. Hawley, pussled by the silence, was listening intently in an endeavor to thus locate the girl through some rustling, some slight motion. A knife, knocked from the table, perhaps, as Bhe slipped aoftly past, fell clattering to the floor, and the gambler leaped instantly forward. Keith's grip closed like iron on his groping arm, while be shot one fist out toward where the man's head should be. The Wow glanced, yet drove the fellow backward, stumbling against the table, and Keith closed in, grappling for the throat. The other, startled by the unexpected attack, and scarcely realizing even yet the nature of his antagonist, struggled blindly to escape the fingers clawing at him, and flung one hand down to the knife In his belt. Warned by the movement, the assailant drove his bead into the gambler's chest, sending him crashing to the floor, falling himself heavily upon the prostrate body. Hawley gave utterance to one cry, half throttled in -bia throat, and then the two grappled fiercely, so interlocked together as to make weapons useless. Whoever the assailant might be, the gambler was fully aware by now that he was being crushed in the grasp of a fighting man, and exerted every wrestler's trick, every ounce of strength, to break free. Twice he struggled to his knees, only to be crowded backward by relentless power; once he hurled Keith sideways, but the plainsman's muscles stiffened into steel, and he gradually regained his position. Neither dared release a grip in order to strike a blow; neither had sufficient breath left with which to utter a sound. They were fighting for life, silently, desperately, like wild beasts, with no thought but to injure the other. The gambler's teeth sank into Keith's arm, and the latter in return jammed the man's head back onto the puncheon floor viciously. Perspiration streamed from their bodies, their fingers clutchihg, 4heir limbs wrapped together, their muscles strained to the utmost Keith had forgotten the girl, the negro, everything, doinlaated by the one passion to conquer. He was swept by a storm of hatred, a desire to kitk In their fierce struggle the two had rolled close to the fire place, and in the dull glow of the dying embers, be could perceive a faint outline of the man's face. The sight added flame to bis mad passion, yet he could do nothing except to cling to him, jabbing his fingers into the straining throat The negro ended the affair in his own way, clawing blindly at the combatants in the darkness, and finally, determining which was the enemy, he struck the gambler with the stock of his gun, laying him out unconscious. Keith, grasping the table, hauled himself to his feet, gasping for breath, certain only that Hawley was ~no longer struggling. For an instant all was blank, a mist of black vapor; then a realization of their situation came back in sudden flood of remembrance. Even yet he could see nothing, but felt the motionless figure at his feet "Quick," he urged, the instant he could make himself speak. "The fellow Is only stunned; we must tie and gag him. Ie that you, Nob? Where is the girl?" "I am here, Captain Keith," and he heard the soft rustle of her dress across the room. "What is it I may do?" -*A coll of rope, or some straps, with a piece of cloth; anything you can lay bands on." She was some moments at i t confused by the darkness, and Hawley moved slightly, his labored breathing growing plainly perceptible. Keith heard her groping toward him* and held out his hands. She started as he thus unexpectedly touched her, yet made no effort to break away. "You—you frightened m e a little," she confessed. "This baa all happened so quickly I hardly realise yet Just what has occurred." (TO BE CONTINUBD.) ©new rreADiLY WORSE. * Cblossa Wos-ian Experiences ttirribte Suffering from Kidney Trouble.

In the early morning a Chinese Inn is terribly dark, and nt niifht bed soon claims one. I select a table at the street front (the whole front is formed of movable doors, which nre entirely taken away during the day) and, provided with the necessarlo*. commence operations. Fifty or sixty people stand round in ranks, the innermosj^cireles consisting of children and the outer- rings of 'men n-ndmothers with their babes. Not a word Is uttered; all eyes are Hxed first on the shaving bru^h as the soap is lathered on the face, and then on the razor as the stubble fnllB.

A herd of thesVfcuffaloes was grazing when a tiger came out-x>f the forest near by. The herdsman shouted, beat his staff on the ground and tried to scare away the brute, but It would not be scared and sprang upon him. knocked him down and stood over him snarling. He gave himself up for lost when the bull of the herd charged savageljMipon the tiger and knocked him fully twenty feet. The attack was so sudden and the shock so great that it took all the fight out of the tiger. He gathered himself up in a dated way and actually "slunk off into the forest. The bull shook himself, bellowed, ^pursued his enemy a few yards and then went quietly to feeding as If vanquishing a tiger were an everyday occurrence. Th« Seismograph. The seismograph is a most interesting instrument. It is kept in a subbasement room, far from disturbing influences. There It records upon H strip of paper such earthquakes as may happen anywhere. The scientists then study the strip of paper and herald id the world the news that the tremor Which shook down several cities was duly registered. The seismograph is R remarkable contrivance, though in just what way Is not yet determined. However, in the Interests of science, It is as valuable as would be the imprint of the hoof upon the seat of the trousers of A man who had been kicked by a mule.

The expected sequel la the total disappearance of the big farms. Indeed, for that matter, the "bonanza, farms" that excited the wonder of the world a decade or two ago have been gradually disappearing in later years and probably the next generation will find scarcely one of them left unless it be in the most Isolated sections of the country. Now, of course, TJncle Sam's vast domain can support double or triple lour present population without any leuggestion of that crowding which is jnotlceable in Europe, where some of khe countries hate a population that •averages 500 or 600 to the square telle. At the same time the new turn to? affairs will tend to bring into favor (here the small farms that have long [been the standard agricultural holdling abroad. Probably we shall not (have many farms as small as the majority of those In Europe nor will the Ismail farm be as universal in the JNew World In our time as it is across Jthe big pond, but withal It Is manifest that the era of the small farm is cmjaire crjs/fioifjmwMQEJMl^- '..y-*>.'Vv; •'Si***'**" titer' fc!» * * > •- . 4\x.t;„ ,* <•• ..,.-i r«^i;^v,>.. -j&ujijre Mfioifj o/rA cAuicmmwtcn dawning. Qlven a j m a j l oj; moderate _ s l z e - tt&mTVwo'general plans of deriving a livelihood I therefrom present themselves to the Ameeican I farmer. He may specialize, as so many or his j brothers of the soil are doing—that is, concentrate all his energy and Investment on the production of one product, in handling which be aims to become an expert, or, if he he hesitates to thus put "all his eggg in one basket," he may carry on diversified activities. Which of these plans Is best cannot be determined by any rule of thumb. Each individual case must be a law unto itself. Much depends upon the size and location ofthe , farm; its proximity to markets; the size of the ] farmer's family; thVlabor problem in the locality; and finally on the temperament of the.farmer j himself. Even given "two farms of equal size, I side by side, the owner of one might be qualified i lor specialization where his neighbor would at- ! tain better results by favoring that variety which to many people Is the spice of life. Probably, says an agricultural expert, in the case of the average, well-located small farm the , ideal policy, theoretically, is that which prescribes I Hpecialization, but also plans for one or more "Bide lines," which will contribute-to the farm income almost from the start and may ultimately : develop into an Important factor from a financial : standpoint. This means, In effect, that the f a r o | er should concentrate largely, upon one product or group of products, which can derive the bene* 1 fits that almost always accrue from undivided attention, but that h* or members of bis household should have minor or supplementary sources of income, such as bee keeping, poultry raising, e t c , which, while well worth while, would not represent sufficient investment or present serious enough problems to distract the mind of the farmer from the main business in hand. With this latter consideration in view, it is especially fortunate when the "side lines'* on the farm are such that the whole responsibility for them can be taken over by the women and children .of the household without bothering the farmer with the matter at all during his busy season. O m j a e s a "side line" becomes a double blessing, because ,it discloses a means of making use of watte products on the farm. It is being discovered that the one neglected "by-products" of ; our farms hold proportionately as much wealth as -the-1'by-products"- that have -freen~utfflzeir~8b "mT raculously in the manufacturing world. As Illustrations of the application of this principle on the farm there may be cited the case of the farmer folk who now make lavish "pin money" by preparing preserves and jelly with the surplus fruit and vegetables that would otherwise be wasted, and of the country housewives who in their leisure moments make cushions and all manner of saleable novelties (not forgetting fancy hats from the corn stalks) that are worse than useless. Similarly, one rural resident is growing rich from raising water lilies on her little farm, and in the south and southwest some ingenious people have taken up "ostrich farming" and are selling the plumes from the birds at prices that make the> enterprise well worth while. Poultry raising is a side line that comes to mind the minute mention is made of any such activities. There have been thousands of instances where chickens, allowed to run wild on the farm, have ultimately been the means of swelling Jbe family bank account, and to pursue the subject still farther, it may be cited^ that, _ many a—farmer—or -•-farmerVLwIfewhobegan to "keep chickens" solely with a view to marketing the poultry has been surprised in due course to find that the eggs, to which scarce a thought had been given as a source of revenue, have rivaled the dressed fowl In the Income yield. Particularly has this been the case In recent years when eggs have brought as high as sixty cents a dozen in city markets. Eggs as a "by-product" would yield even bigger dividends if care were taken to gather them at least twice a day and to get them to market somewhat more promptly* for, be it known, "gauranteed 24 hour eggs" will always bring five or ten cents a dozen more than the ordinary nin of fresh eggs. *j Without disparaging the merits of poultry as a side line, however, it may be suggested that bee keeping is perhaps the most truly ideal Incidental occupation on the farm. Indeed, the experts strongly advise that bee keeping be not made a sole occupation, although there are many localities where an experienced bee keeper can make a good living by devoting his entire time and attention to the work, once he has the requisite knowledge. The beauty about bee keep-. lng is that'by beginning on a small scale the bees , can be made to pay for themselves and for all additional apparatus, as well as to return some profit all the* while. It may as well be admitted, however, that for all Its advantages there are few occupations that require more study to insure success than does bee keeping. In years when the available nectar is limited, surplus honey is secured only by judicious manipulation, and it is only through considerable experience that the bee keeper can, under such circumstances^ carry out the proper manipulation to save his crop. All authorities on the subject emphasize the fact that the only way to make bee keeping a profitable business Is to obtain naught but the flrstolass product—fancy comb honey or carefully prepared and neatly packed extracted honey. Under good management the average annual honey yield per colony will probably be 25 to 30 pounds of comb-honeyr or 40^ to 80 pounds of extracted honey. Such yields can be expected only, however, bees are kept In hives of up-towfth movable frames. Plain boxes When the date type, may be well enough to start with if the bee keeper Is not able to afford any investment for the superior apparatus, but all such make-shifts should be discarded at the earliest possible moment, for in such environment the bees will produce only a restricted amount of honey and that of inferior quality. The problems of American bee keepers have been considerably simplified of late years through the passage by various states of laws providing for the state or county inspection of apiaries for bee disease control. Another "side line" that has gained in favor in the rural districts almost as rapidly as bee keeping is found in the'raising of pigeons, doves, etc. The backbone of this industry Is found, of course, in the raising of squabs for the market that has developed of recent years in all our large cities, but there is also much money made in raising the fancy varieties of pigeons for disposal as pets. Indeed, the whole pet stock industry in all Its branches may be advantageously carried on as i^lde lines'* on farms. Shetland pony farms^have become a recog«isedMnstittrticar^n—vaTious parts of the country these past few years; rabbits and guinea pigs yield an Income to many a farmer boy, and there are dozens of farmers' wives who derive profit as well as pleasure from raising blooded cats, gold fish, canaries and other furred or feathered household companions. In woodland districts the makings of rustic furniture offers a profitable occupation for the men in the long winter days, and the women and children can employ their time to equal advantage in the production of pine pillows and those bark and grass novelties for which trere is always a good market at remunerative prices.

In Greenland when one man has been insulted by another the adversaries each compose a satire in versa. This each man recites to his household until the ee/vants and the women know It by boert. Then a place of meeting is appointed. ,The two men, the insulted and.insultfcdr the offender and offended, stand face to face, and each recites bis poem. His'friends and servants form a chorus; Each man tries to raise the laugh against his adversary. Each man speaks in turn, whipping the. en-'1 emy with epigram and quip, and after two hours of t h e wordy battle the meeting gives the victory to him of the two adversaries who has amused the whole assembly most.

This season's offerings are much thinner, and are, therefore, expected to please. Diagonal and boucle weaves are both being shown Jn ratine novelties. These diagonal effects are in both one and" t^o tone colorings, often a -lighter shade>&iich as blue or Bordeaux illuminates^Hbe background, while the boucle knots "arein black.

It. is about ten by fourteen inches, and iscovered smoothly on one side with suede leather and on the other side with a noverlapping piece of the suede, which forms a flat pocket, Into which a handkerchief or time tabie may be slipped. There* is a small leather handle along the side of the pillow, so that in the hand it looks almost like a brown suede bag.

An Ideal Flock Header. •» The mating season for sheep is not far distant and the best selections of flock headers can be made early in the season. At this time one can ehoose-from among the best of the ram lambs and yearlings or two-yearolds. Offerings of makes will go quickly as soon as the Bhow season opens up and by the time the sheep is actually needed the market will be pretty well culled over. Procure a yearling or older ram if possible. Ram lambs should not be used unless exceeding CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERIES By W. B. UVERANCE, Instructor in Dairying, Michigan Agricultural College The old saying that "In union there is strength" is nowhere more applicable than in a farming community. bility. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the little country of Denmark, where the farmers unite in all matters and Becure advantages that the individual could not get. In out own country where farmers' organizations have been attempted, the results have been very satisfactory. At Lawton, Mich., the grape growers organized in a co-operative way to dispose of their product and were so successful that they have received far better prices than ever known before. Not only have good prices prevailed, but a greater stability and surety has been given to disposal of their fruit. The ideal creamery is the co-operative one. It is ideal because It returns all the profits from the manufaeture~ bf dairy products to the producer. The private creamery owner is receiving a good profit in the manufacture of the cream from farms. He gets his return* from the overrun that is made in the factory. This amounts to about one-fifth of the butter fat delivered and means about four or five cents for each pound of fat delivered. This, of course, does not mean a net profit, but after all expenses are deducted it means a good profitable return. Well operated co-operative creameries oftentimes pay their patrons two to three cents more per pound of fat than do the private creameries. This is because that profit that has been going into the pocket,of the Individual owner is now turned back to the farmer. \ A ^ better grade of butter can be manufactured at the co-operative creamery"than at the private plant. Creameries as ^ whole are making a much poorer gradeot^product than in former years, not becauseVthe maker is less proficient but because^of the poor quality of cream received fronv the farm. Where co-operation is established and each patron realizes that his returns depend upon the quality of butter manufactured at the creamery he can be taught the necessity, for better care of his cream. A private creamery because of sharp competition is forced to take cream of poor quality, but the cooperative creamery, with- each individual a part owner, can be much more critical of the products taken In and as a consequence better butter is made and the top market price received. Many cooperative creanerles have been absolute failures. This may have been the result of one or more of many causes. A promoting com* pany may have organized the company in a community where there was not enough cows kept to insure its success. Possibly It was not due Out of the Whaleback.

Keep him in mind in selecting a ram for he is of almost model type. and understand every detail of the business. The be3t co-operative creamery managers are the buttermakers. A good, thoroughly competent man should be engaged at a lib eral salary to look after the entire business of the creamery. With such a man its success is practically a» sured. A factor working very detrimen tally to^ the 'co-operative creamery is the lack of unity and co-operative spirit among farmers. This is a very serious condition, but is generally due to the lack, of a competent head and in a creamery organization of farmers if a strictly reliable manager is engaged-there is little trouble on this score. As previously mentioned the co operative creamery is the ideal condition. The leading dairymen in each community shouht-get—together to talk over the matter and secure the services of some one from their dairy school or the state dairy and food department to assist them in the organization. It will pay them not only in securing a sure market for their dairy product, but a market that will guarantee better returns. Fitting Aged Ewes for Market on the Farm By R. S. SHAW In maintaining a profitable flock of sheep careful selection must be practiced year after year, Some of the older ones must be eliminated and younger ones chosen to fill their places. As a general rule it is not desirable to keep ewes beyond their sixth year unless in the case of special individuals or flocks of strictly fine wooled types. The matter of age alone should not be the deciding factor in discarding the ewe, for her abilit yto raise a good lamb. The character and amount of fleece she produces and the condition of her teeth are factors to be considered as well. The profitable fitting and marketing of ewes too old to be useful further in and breeding flock is quite a problem, especially if her teeth are defective andshe is in-a thin condition because of having reared lambs during the past season. As a rule she cannot be fitted for market profitably on dry feed during the winter except with abnormal market conditions. ^ As soon as the old ewe's lambs, have been weaned she should be given ac< cess to succulent pasture such as second growth clover, a well established new seeding o- a patch of rape. To the forage thus secured may be added a liberal grain allowance of ground corn and oats In equal parts which would be improved some by the addition of a little bran or linseed meal If available. As soon as these conditions have fattened the ewe sufficiently for market then the best possible deal should be made with the drover or butcher before winter sets in. to an insufficient number of cows but' to the fact that the promoters followed their usual custom and charged an exorbitant price for the building and equipment There two factors have been .the greatest curse to cooperative creameries sad the community desiring a co-operative creamery should never elk nor accept the aid of a promoting company. Very often the failure of a co-operative creamery is due to mismanagement, the person selected to oversee the business affairs of the company being incompetent, due to lack of experience along creamery lines. The creamery manager should have had actual •xperlenoe In butter making Looking for New Potato Typos.

Take Hall's Family Pill* tor Constipation, There was a rather curious bituation in BChool district No, 3 in the county of Greenfield. There were six widowers living there and all of them farmers, and three of the six were the school trustees. For several years men teachers had been employed and had given good satisfaction, but now they were to change to the other sex. Widower Thomas, the moderator, had suggested the change, and he hadn't looked the other two in the face as he did it. He had simply said that he thought a school ma'am would teach the scholars manners as well as geography. Mr. Williams had agreed, but had at the same time said to himself: "I understand his little game." And Mr. Burt had agreed with him, but at the same time had said to himself: "The cute old rascal! But I see through him as if he was made ,of glass. If anybody around here marries that schoolteacher it will be me!" The three other widowers heard of the plan, and each one said it was a good thing and each one had his whiskers trimmed and his hair dyed and j made ready for the struggle. A sem- j inary was written to and a teacher sent on. It was for Widower Thomas to drive across the country in a horse and buggy to the railroad and meet her and bring her on. —Widower Thomas had hopes, that the schoolma'am would be about twentytwo and good looking. The arriving teacher turned, out to be all he had hoped for. He felt so well acquainted with her before they had driven hall a mile that he began: "Now. Miss White, you are coming among strangers, and I want to post you about them.. There's old Jim Williams to begin with. He's one of the trustees and a widower with four children. "And there's Moses Burt. He's another widower. Claims to be fortyeight years old, but will never see sixty again. Looking around for a young wife and ought to be ashamed of himself. Great hand to laugh at his own Jokes, but if you laugh with him he'll sure think you are in love with him and pop the question." "Then I shall not laugh." "Then there's Joab Tyler. Mebbe he's only fifty next birthday, as he claims, but he's sopping on the hair dye to beat the band. Five children for a second wife to take care of." "That's dreadful!" "Then there is Henry Stevens," continued ,the moderator. "I can't say that Henry is over forty years old, and his wife only left three children, but you can judge what sort of a man he is when I tell you that he never shed a tear at the funeral. He never even sniffled. Seemed Just as unconcerned as if he was hoeing: taters. I wouldn't adrise no woman to marry a man iike that. "Then comes Levi Schemerhorn. He was to Chicago once, and he'll brag of It to you and try to make out that he is a hero. Don't you let on that you think he's anything great or you'll be a goner." "No, I won't," answered the girl, "but are there any more?" "Ahem! One more. Miss White. It's me. I'm a widower with a hundred acre farm and only one child. My tater crop alone last year brought me $500, Rising of forty is my age. and I can run down a calf. Got a melodeon In the house and, am .willinp to buy a red ingrain carpet and lace curtains for the parlor. I n c a s e I get married V shall go on a wedding trip to Niagara Falls nnd not mind the expense." "And are there no young men in the neighborhood?" asked Miss White. "Jest one, and he's a hired man who don't amount to shucks—eats with his*knifeand fork and says that Boston is In New Jersey. If I was you I wouldn't let him get the idea that you was a kindred spirit" "No, I won't" Miss White was left at the house of the Widow Harkness, which was to be her first boarding place. Supper was not yet finished when the widowers began to gather, and in the course of half an hour the whole six were there. Their excuses were various, but the fact was apparent that they had come to size the schoolma'am up. .Once there no One would go and leave the others behind to get some advantage. The clock had struck midnight when the widow turned them all out; in a bunch. There wasn't exactly a fight outside the gate, but the six told each other .what they thought of hair dye and old galoots. When they were gone the schoolma'am turned to ,the widow and'asked:' "Don't .any of those men want yon for a wife?'* " " »' V "Not if they can get you," was the doleful reply. Ten, minutes of confidential talk settled things. The Mhooibeuse was close by, and on Its door was tackfd the notice: "Thjapto.ee closed for repairs" At daylight ;n#xt morn In* the widow turn sand a%horae tocher democrat .wagon,,jand>ithin two, hours,.MI«s .Whlt-e^tSMJftPded, at thp spot" wnen^ the moderator had found her.

Have your oven moderate at first, until the cakei3 fully rizen; then increase the heat, so as to brown it over quickly. Extreme heat stiffens the dough. If you stiffen the outside of the cake before the rising is complete, you stop the rising process. Then the leavening gas, forming inside, will bulge up the center, where the dough is still soft, an$i spoil the shape of the-cake. 3 a NOTE—Biscuits or other pastries made from stiff dough, that are cut into shapes for the oven, bake in a hot oven. This is because the cut surfaces of the dough do not sear over, but rather leave t h e pores open, allowing t h e leavening gas to escape and the heat to penetrate readily. Small ovens cool quickly; therefore they should be made several degrees hotter than a larger oven, and the less the door i s opened the better. Do not attempt t o bake bread and pastry together. Bread requires prolonged, moderate b a k i n g - pastry the reverse. Rave a strong nnderheat for baking powder preparations, especially pastry. These are only a few of the many baking helps found in the K C Cook's Book—a copy of which may be secured by sending the colored certificate taken from a 25-cent can of K C Baking P o w der to the JAQTJBS M F G .

Osborn has announced tlie appointment of Judge Joseph H. Steere of Sault Ste. Marie to succeed the late Justice F. A. Hooker of the supreme court. Horace M. Oren, a leading attorney at the Soo has been named to succeed Judge Steere on the local bench. Judge Steere and Gov. Osborn have long been friends and neighbors. Judge Steere was born May 19, 1852, at Addison, Lenawee county, Michigan. His father, Isaac Steere, was a native of Ohio. His mother was Elizabeth (Comstock) Steere, a native of New York and of English descent. Judge Steere's early days were spent in Lenawee county on the farm, He attended the district school and the Raisin Valley seminary, a Quaker school, from which he was graduated in 1871. He then attended the Adrian high school. In 1872 he entered the literary department in the University of Michigan and was graduated in 1876 with A. B. He entered the law office of Geddes & Miller at Adrian, where he spent two years. He was admitted to the Lenawee county bar in 1878. In the spring of 1878 the judge removed to the Soo and began the practice of law.-Although he has occupied the bench of the circuit court for 30 consecutive years- and- was. -last spririg re-elected for a seventh term of six years, he was never but once opposed at the polls, and that the first time he ran. Judge Steere is a lover of fishing and hunting. He Is a student and has made an exhaustive study of his native- state and especially of the Lake Superior region, and is probably the best informed man on Michigan history In the state. His library is the finest to be found anywhere in private hands insofar as it relates to the history of the north country. Judge Steere has never married. Iosco Co. to Pay for Troops During Fire. Inasmuch aa the law passed at the last session of the legislature requiring that the state shall bear the expenses where troops are ordered into a county during such emergencies as strikes, rlresT epidemics, etc., did not go into effect until Aug. 2, a portion of the expense of maintaining the company of militia in Iosco county following the fires last month, will have to be borne by that county. Auditor General Fuller and the state military board are now checking the accounts in order to determine the amount that will be charged against Iosco county. Inasmuch as the legislature relieved Shiawassee county of the expense incurred during the time when the state troops were ordered there during the strike a year ago, it is thought that the amount against Iosco county will be carried on the state's books until the next session of the legislature, when a bill probably will be passed relieving the county of the expense incurred previous to the time when the new law took effect. r "Back to the Farm" Day. The National Association of State Immigration Officials, of which A. C. Carton, immigration commissioner of Michigan, is president, has issued a circular urging that Wednesday, Sept. 20, be chosen as a cash-raising day for the promotion of the "back to the farm" movement. It is proposed that a meeting be held at the capital of each of the 40 states represented in the association and funds raised with which to push a campaign of publicity to induce city residents to forsake the wiles and wilds of the city and enter upon a peaceful rural existence. Admiral Togo Leaves for Home. Homeward bound, Admiral Count Togo boarded the Japanese liner Tam» ba Maru at Seattle and started on the last leg of his tour arouno" the world.

The demonstration at the wharf was Insignificant compared with thfct given along the water front aa the Tamba Maru, with Admiral -Togo standing on the bridge beside her commander, moved slowly along through the harbor. The cruisers West Virginia and Colorado acted as escorts. In addition the Japanese organization had chartered boats to follow the Tamba Maru until she had passed out of the sound. Riverman Shoots Soo Rapids on Log. While over 5,000 persons looked breathlessly on James Pollock, a riverman, of Tower, Mich., successfully shot the St, Mary's river rapids, on a log. For his daring feat he received a purse of $35, made up by spectators. Seated in a canoe, with two Indian guides, Pollock was taken to the head of the rapids. Six minutes later, after being whirled about the thousands of gigantic boulders, often obscured from view, he emerged without a scratch at the lower end, and was picked up by a waiting launch. He was the first man to ever go over the rapids, a mile and a half long, of his own accord, unless seated in a boat. Before he started expert Indian guides, who have shot the rapids for years, declared Pollock's feat deliberate suicide. "It was soft money for me," he saidj afterward. "I would do it over again right away~forl50.!- -• Encampment Sites to Be Examined, The board to recommend as to the advisability of securing a permanent site for the summer maneuvers of the Michigan National Guard will go \pt Traverse City next week to examine sites which the city is offering, and which it is claimed will make the National Guard the finest camping quarters in this section of the country.

T O T A L FOR STATE IS ANNOUNC ED A 3 $2,290,000,000. Houghton County Reduced and Most of the Iron Ore Counties Are Advanced by Large Amounts. Apparently the poverty pleas of the various counties whose representatives appeared before the state board of equalization last week had little effect on that body, as the equalized value of the whole state has been tilted from $1,734,100,000 to $2,290,- 000,000, an increase of $555,900,000 since the last meeting of the board In 1906. However, this increase is $673,553,- 822 less than the value placed on the state by the tax commission in its report filed with the board last weNek. It was the contention of practically every representative that the boar^ of equalization should not follow the dictates of the tax commission in this regard, as it was the unanimous opinion of every one interested in taxation matters that the tax commission had gone slightly beyond the limit. That the board of equalization reduced the values ~&s placed "by the tax commission is no surprise to those who have followed closely the proceedings of the last two weeks. The Figures in Detail. The complete figures, with those of the last equalization five years ago, are given herewith: Equalized Equalized 1911. 1806.

On the stage trip I was fortunate ienough to form an acquaintance with-j-|~ * man who told me he knew where I jcpuld meet Fred, but that the boy was (hiding because of some trouble he bad lately gotten Into, and that 1 iahould have to proceed very carefully iao as not to lead the officers to discover his whereabouts. This gentlejmaa was engaged in some business at parson City, but he employed a man bring me to this place, and promto gat Fred, and meet me here the flowing day. There must have been failure in the plans, for I have here entirely alone now-for-three- It has been very lonesome, and d I've been a little frightened. erhapa I ought not to have come, and 3 am not certain what kind of a place jthla is. I was so afraid when you leaxne, bnt I am not afraid now." U"You have no need to be." he said berly, Impressed by the Innocent jeandor of the girl, and feeling thankttol that he was present to aid her.' "I old not wrong one of the South." 'My father always told me I could t a Southern gentleman under any rcumstances. Mr. Hawley was from y own State, and knew many of our j d friends.

"And your brother? I may possibly hare known him." She hesitated an instant, her eyes dropping, until completely shaded by the long lashes.

Surely something serious must have happen* ed, or he would have been here before this. Do you—do you suppose there is anything wrong?" Keith did not smile' nor change posture. The more he delved into the matter, the more serious he felt the situation to be. He knew all those ranches lying south on the Canadian, and was aware that this was no outatation. JJo cattle ever came across that sandy desert unless driven by rustlers, and no honest purpose could account for this isolated hut. There had been frequent robberies along the trail, and he had overheard tales of mysterious disappearances In both ,Larned and Carson City. Could It be that he had now, accidentally, stumbled upon the rendezvous of the gang? He was not a man easily startled, but this thought sent his heart beating. He knew jsnough to realize what_such, a gang would naturally consist of— deserters, outlaws, rustlers; both Indians and whites, no doubt, combined under some desperate leadership. Gazing into the girl's questioning eyes he could scarcely refrain from blurting out all he suspected. Yet why should he? What good could It do? He could not hope to bear her south to the "Bar X" Rancl<, for the ponies were already too thoroughly exhausted for such a Journey; he dared not turn north with her, for that would "He sho' am, Missus; dar ain't nuth- In' higher in ol' Virginia dan de Keiths. < Dey ain't got much money sence the Yankees come down dar, but dey's quality folks jest de same.

The negro's voice had scarcely ceased when Keith came in again, closing the door securely behind him. "All quiet outside," he announced, speaking with new confidence. "I wanted to get an understanding of the surroundings in case of emergency," he explained, as if In answer to the questioning of the brown eyes gravely uplifted to his face. "I see there is quite a corral at the lower end of this island, safely hidden behind the frlage of cottonwoods. And a log stable back of the house. Is the creek fordable both ways?" "I think so; the man who brought rue here rode away south." "And are you going to trust yourself to my care?" She came around the table with hands extended. He took them into He Flung Beth Coat and Hat Down With the Intention of Remaining. mean his own arrest, leaving her In worse condition than ever. If he only, knew who this man Hawley waa, u s purpose, and plane! Yet .what pro* tectlon could he and Neb prove, alone here, and without arms? All this flashed through his mind In an instant, leaving him confused and uncertain. "I hope not," he managed to say in answer tocher query.

"I juat done tol*, her who de Keiths was down In ol* Virginia, sah," burst in Neb indignantly. "I sho' donrt want nobody to think 1 go trapsin' •round wld any low'white trash." The gray eyea and the brown, gaging into one another, smiled with understanding. "Oh, well," Keith acknowledged, genially, "I cannot say I am sorry you know something of my past glories; if one can't have a future, it Is some source of prido to have a past to remember. But now about the present We're not much protection to any one, the way we're fixed, aa we are unarmed."

A fragment of candle, stuck tightly into the neck of an empty bottle, appeared on a low shelf, and Keith lighted it, the girl returning the lamp to its former position on the front room table. Investigation revealed a dozen cartridges fitting the revolver, but no ammunition was discovered adapted to the sawed-off gun, which Neb had already appropriated, and was dragging about with him, peering into each black corner In anxious search. The two were still busily employed at this, when to their ears, through the stillness of the night, there came the unexpected noise of splashing in the water without, and then the sound of a horse stumbling as he struck the bank. Quick as a flash Keith closed the intervening door, extinguished the dim flame of the candle, and grasping the startled negro's arm, hushed hlm__| into silence. Crouching close behind the door, through a crack of which the light streamed, yielding slight view of the interior, the plainsman anxiously awaited developments. These arrivals muBt certainly be some of those connected with the house; there could be little doubt as to that. Nevertheless, they might prove the posse following them, who had chanced to stumble accidentally on their retreat In either case they could merely wait, and learn. Some one swore without, and was sharply rebuked by another voice, which added an order gruffly. Then the outer latch clicked, and a single man stepped within, Immediately closing the door. Keith could not see the girl through the small aperture, but he heard her quick exclamation. "Oh, Is it you? I am so glad!" The man laughed lightly. "It is nice to be welcomed, although, perhaps, after your time of loneliness any arrival would prove a relief. Did you think I was never coming, Christie?" "I could not understand." she replied, evidently with much less enthusiasm, and to Keith's thinking, a shade resentful of the familiarity, "but -|-&attiraily supposed you must be unexpectedly delayed." "Well, I was," and he "apparently flung both coat and hat on a bench, with the intention of remaining.- "The marshal arrested a fellow for a murder committed out on the Santa Fe Trail, and required me as a witness.

"I Hired to hear his yarns about the child-like minds of slaves. He once told me, for example, about a grizzled slave named Uncle Cal, body servant to his colonel. "Aa Eggleston sat before a camp fire one coollsh autumn evening, watching Uncle Cal mend the colonel's coat, the crimson and gold glory of the autumn sunset turned the talk to astronomy, and Eggleston said: * 'You see, Uncle Cal, the world is round, like an apple, and it goea round, too—round and round it goea all the time.' " 'Hit's round an' hit goes round,' said Uncle Cal, skeptically. 'But what I want to know la, what holds it up?'

When my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully. It just seemed as though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me very much, as I had never -had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But it kept getting worse.

The Holsteln breed of dairy cattle, so far as the production of > milk is concerned. Is without a rival in quantity, but the milk does not average as high in butter fat. although there are some exceptions, says the American Agriculturist The milk la excellent lor cheese or buttermaklng and is considered especially valuable for sale as milk in cities. It develops young animals rapidly, being rich In the constituents that go to form bone and muscle and develops tissue. Holstelns are especially adapted to farm and dairy conditions in the middle west They have large, fleshy frames and do particularly well on the level prairies of the middle west. They thrive on grain and forage crops under those conditions. They take care of themselves and do not require pampering and for this reason are well suited to commercial purposes. While other breeds do just as well for butter production, the Holstelns, because of the large quantity of milk produced, have captured many records 'for total amount of butter fat. but In addition to the butter fat the large quantities of sklmmilk can be turned to excellent account. Holstein steers, while not as satisfactory for beef as some of the strictly meat beef breeds, fatten quite readily and furnish a very high grade of beef. They can therefore be utilized to much better advantage tbau the steers of In sections where mux is produced for city trade the Holitein cow comes pretty near being the leader. She glvea a large quantity of moderately rich milk. She la healthy, rugged, vigorous and capable of utilizing large quantities of feed. The breed Is a very old one. No one—knows just where It originated. Of course the breed was developed to its perfection in northern Holland, and for hundreds of years Holland has been famed for Its dairy products. , .

There are some principles in feeding horses that should be understood. The horse's stomach is small, and he should not be required to (ret his nutriment from such coarse roughage as straw when at work. Tbere Is no better feed for the working horse than ground oats and corn varied with whole grain sometimes and a bran mash occasionally. The grain ration should be adapt* ed to the roughage, feeding more oa|t. ollmeal and bran with timothy' b'ay^ and more corn with clover and alfalfa. A heavy team doing mard work with fimothy hay for roughage should bare twelve to fifteen pounds of grain per day in three feeds and perhaps ten pounds of bay at each feed fed with the gmn and possibly a little more hay at night. Pasturing Sheep. Sbeep eat a little more than ateen In comparison with their weight. Ten 100 pound sheep require about as ranch pasture as a 1,280 pound steer. It Is not necessary to count on the last* requiring much pasture at (tat bat toward the end ot the summer a spring lazap eats about as much grass as an old ewe. - •MSM^ ! • • V E ~--^^B "* A,r I ' w sa "" **%m B - ' - \ ,« , f ,7 j BsL ' ^ • ' ' l l r: '•'•'! *;?;r;"'^K •' -. i • * - Job Printing Department is Always Prepared to do All Kinds of P R I N T I N G i . >• With Neatness and Dispatch, with prices that can not be equalled for first class quality workmanship and material.

Attention is called to a new law passed by the State Legislature at its last session that, prohibiting the carrying of concealed weapons without first obtaining a license therefor and dirks, daggers, stilettos, metalic kauckies, sandbags or skull-crackers are absolutely prohibited. Heavy penalties attach to violation 9/this law, a second offense making the person liable to State Prison. This law was passed in the hope of doing away with so many shooting and cutting affrays and for the pNfteotion of police ansj other o f t e n in making arrestsJn the past few years quite a number of officers have been killed or eeriously injured by tramps and barriers armed with revolfww or dirks. Oust Deals in Oeath A warning against the dangers of dust was issued in a statement made last week by 'he National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in which it is show a that the percentage of deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty trades is more than double that for all employed men in the registration area of th9 United States. As a result of the dangers from consumption to those exposed to various forms of dust, and at the request of the National Association, the United States Government has recently appointed a commission to work in co-operation with state authorities in making an investigation into the condition of the metal mining inJustries in the United States, with speciati^ference to diseases of the lungs. The work of the commission engaged in this special task will follow lines somewhat similar to those worked out by the Royal Commissioa of Australia, whose report wasreceetly received in this country. "Dasts are three kinds," says the National Association; "factory street and house dusts." The statement refers to the results obtained through investigations made for the Bureau of Labor, by Frederick L. Hoffman. While among males generally in the registration area of the United States 14.5 per cent of all deaths are from consumption, the mortality among grinders from this disease is 49.2 per cent, and in hardly any of the dusty trades is it below 25 per cent. The percentage of deaths from tuberculosis among all those exposed to metalic dust is 36.9 per cent; to mineral dust 28.6 per cent; to vegetable fibre 2gjLper oe There's a Big Difference In Washing Machines You don't want a washing machine that takes longer to do the washing than it should.

Tree surgeon is tbe customary title of the expert who devoteB himself to ministering to sick and in whether "tree doctor" would not be much as in with trees as with huma cian than the surgeon that is need The tree doctor is, perforce, a spe Jbe_addedjhat the subject is a much first thought, suspect, and Is" well w life work and the life study of the that, "tree doctoring" within a limit ties of any farmer or other private just as gardening may be made a sue to being a fancy gardener. Indeed, the owner of any wooded land who desires to preserve the mature forest growth is all but compelled to delve into the lore on this subject if he does not want to employ a professional forester, and the farmer who wants to preserve the priceless heritage of the stately trees that surround and Shade the Ideally-placed farm house must do likewise. One phase of tree doctoring that the layman can undertake almost as successfully as the professional Is that embraced in preventive measures,. With, trees, as with all other growing things, the policy of the ounce of prevention is a wise one and moreover there are some wealthy men who own large estates In this country who employ tree doctors as the Chinese employ physicians—to keep them well rather than to cure them after sickness has set in. This "stitch in time" policy as applied to trees Is particularly serviceable in the case of the insects, etc., which play such havoc with tree growth if left to carry on their depredations unmolested. It Is always preferable and usually simpler to bar pests of this kind from the cherished trunk and branches than It is to banish them once they have gained a foothold. Speaking of this responsibility in tree doctoring directs attention to the exceedingly varied activities that are embraced in the ministering to our Bylvan treasures. There are numerous different methods of circumventing the caterpillars and other objectionable invaders, and there are likewise any number of prescriptions that may be tried out if the pests have taken ^possession of trees ere the alarm is given. Prominent among these latter remedial measures are the various forms of tree spraying for which special apparatus is now provided and apropos of which extensive experiments have been carried-on to determine the most effective formula to be introduced as spray. Another branch of tree surgery deals with the intelligent removal of dead or diseased limbs of trees and the repair of damage done by Are, lightning, high winds, etc. And finally w a r n m a tn tha t r i m nn»gnwy n - M r h jn {ftp, case of trees, as with people, Involves the removal of portions of the vital tissue; the termination of decay or disease; and the substitution of other substances—in the case of trees, concrete being a favorite medium for closing wounds • and fostering the healing process. It might be supposed by many readers that tTee doctoring would be restricted largely to the country and suburban districts, but' such Is -very far from being the case. Indeed, It wuuld seem as though the residents of our towns and cities prize their trees more highjy and are willing to do more to preserve theni than are the farmer class—and, perhaps, this ie natural considering that tall, stately trees are much rarer in cities than In the "rural districts. At any rate most of our^large cities now employ one or more tree doctors to look after the trees in their parks and the shade trees on streets and boulevards, whereas it is becoming almost imperative for a *" man who aspires to the position of head gardener on any large private estate to have enough knowledge of ailing or insect-Infested trees to cope with the situation. The TJ. S, Department of Agriculture and the state governments in many of our leading states now maintain special departments that devote jured trees, and yet it is a question a more appropriate designation, inasn beings it is more often the physied to set things right. cialist in his chosen Held and it may deeper one than the laymanjnight, at orthyToT5e~ made the BubjecT of~tbe man who Is attracted to it. For all ed range is quite within the possibilicitizen who is Impelled to study it cess by a man who makes no claims in the world is this doctoring done so thoroughly as in the United States. The invention of Bpecial spraying apparatus began as early as the year 18S0, and jsince that time, each year has been the advent of new and improved apparatus. Some six or seven years ago the steam-power s p r a y e r made its appearance and a little later there was evolved the gasoline outfit, which may be seen in operation today on so many farms and In many city parks. W h e r e the poison charged liquid employed for spraying must be hauled some distance it is customary to resort to outfits of liberal tank capacity, and many of these range from 150 to 300 gallons. For spraying high trees it is necessary to use an elevated tower or platform built upon a wagon and with one man on the tower and two men on the ground spraying may be carried on with the greatest possible degree of efficiency. Of course, a good length of hose is essential—one-half inch being a popular size, and it should be capable of standing 200 pounds pressure per squa/e inch. Trees in towns and cities are naturally much more UableTo such injuries as will later require the practice of tree surgery than are those in the country districts. The piling of building material against trees, the attaching of guy wires and the grading of streets or roads are all causes productive of injuries. Overcrowding by other trees, horse bites and girdling by wire labels are other sources of trouble. One of the worst of all, however, Is improper pruning or tree butchery. As a matter of fact, Intelligent, "systematic pruning and tree surgery are very clo&ely related. STONE THAT BURNS ITSELF Cast of the Jordan Lime Is Made From Rock That Contains Its Own Fuel. While making a trip through the riauran district recently the writer's attention was attracted to a curious stone which might be described as a "seli-burning limestone." Our party came upon some natives burning It and was enabled to see the operation. This district is south of Damascus, east of the upper Jordan. At this place the rock lay in a stratum between ordinary limeBtone; it was of grayish black color, and when freshly broken had an odor of petroleum. Near by were outcrops of what looked like the same material many rods long and 20 to 30 feet thick. Quarrying is easily done with primitive picks and other tools, as the rock is quite soft and full of seams. The stone is broken into small pieces with hammers and piled up against the bank of rock. A wall of the same material about two feet high is roughly laid up around the pile on three sides, making a pile of small stone eight to ten feet long and nearly as wide, and two feet at the fro^t, rising to nearly three times that height at the back, where it lies against the bank. In building the wall around the pile small holes are left for draft and in which to start the fire. When the kiln is ready to burn a few small bunches of straw are placed in the holes mentioned, lit with a flint and steel and in a short time the whole pile has ignited. The men then begin working on a new kiln while the other burns and cools. Jifter_ahojit two hours of burning the stone has all become converted into lime, except the stones in the wall and the very top layer, which are only about half burned. When cool the lime is air-slacked and sifted to remove any pieces not thoroughly burned, which are thrown into a new pile to be fired again. The workmen told us that It made a very black smoke with a bad odor like kerosene burning. The lime is white and said to make a very strong plaster, superior to the ordinary lime burned with brush. This stone is so located that, should it prove to be of commercial value, it could be easily transported.—Consular Reports. RIGHT HEAVY.

A Grandson of Burns. James Glencairn Thomson, a grandson of Robert Burns, died in Glasgow recently in his eighty-fourth year. He was the son of Betty Burns, daughter of the poet, and was a bachelor.

"Would you like your sweetheart'^ portrait placed on your fingernails?" is a unusual query at most of the swell Berlin manicurists just now. The new fad grew out of a whim of a pretty cousin of the kaiser who had an enameled portrait of her fiance worked on the nail of her little finger. The portrait was a g^m of art in its way and cost $90. The manicurists took up the idea, and now, for a small fee of 20 marks—about $5—you can have anyone's photograph placed on your fingernail.

Probably the most extensive and most costly project in tree doctoring in the history of the world is that which has been in progress for some years past in the state of Massachusetts. The Object of this prolonged battle Is to exterminate or hold in check the gypsy moth, which, with other kindred species, has threatened to destroy the trees throughout the Old Bay State, if not, indeed, throughout New England. In this fight millions of dollars have been expended, the experts employed by the state of Massachusetts working hand in hand with Uncle Sam's experts, headed by C. $L. Marlatt, perhaps the greatest authority in the world. It Is probably a trifle early to say that the fight haB been won, but certain it is that much headway has been gained and doubtless the damage will be restricted to its present area. Tremendous sums are expended every year in spraying for orchard insects. It Is estimated that not less than $5,000,000 is thus expended each year In holding in check the codling moth and an equally large sum is devoted yearly to treatments agatnst_the San Jose scale. Nowherf clean, sharp sand. After all decayed or decaying matter has been removed from the cavity the whole cavity is filled with this thin mortar, and then, when this has had time to become stiff, but not hard, there is applied a surface coat made of one part sand and one part cement and the surface is so faced as to exclude all moisture from the opening of the cavity. It should be noted in conclusion that Providence has provided us with the best tree doctor in the form of that familiar and unappreciated bird, the woodpecker. The woodpecker is easily the most useful of all the seven hundred varieties of birds to be found in thetUnited States and it is largely because of his constant search for and warfare against the four hundred different varieties of insects that prey upon our trees. The woodpecker is not merely a tree doctor, but is actually a tree surgeon because his most energetic quest is for those Insects that injure the tree Internally and to which access can be gained only by means of the unique equipment with which nature has provided the woodpecker and from the employment of which he derives his name. As a rule the woodpecker makes only shallow holes so that his work may properly be dignified as tree surgery tnat leaves no scars, which is not the least of its advantages. = £ THE SKIN AND COMPLEXION • / . • • • -.-,• w6h» wad-some power the giftle give us • / T o fW ourselves as ittiera see us." —Burns. v-JHow surprised some of us would be »iW *& did posset* this gift, and how f**iofcl* Ira would fcastea to make with a given person's Bkin only can be discovered by experiment.

Pimples and black-heads show that the waste material is not being carried away properly but is being left to clog the pores. Sometimes this accumulation of waste material is due to lack of cleanliness. The waste material is left on the skin and clogs the pores so they cannot perform their work. Sometimes the fault is due to poor circulation or to diseases of the excretory organs. If one organ is incapable of performing its work, the other organs must of necessity do more than their share in trying to aid it. If the kidneys and bowels are not carrying off their share of the waste material of the body, the skin Is burdened with an extra amount to be disposed of. Sometimes It is unable to do this and the waste material is left to accumulate in the skin.

Quite forgetting that she had a substantial little fortune in the bank an old woman, Ruth Evans, residing at Carrog, Llangolla, Wales, had lived and suffered in direst poverty for 20 years. She died recently at the age of 90; neighbors paid for the coffinto save her from having a parish funeral. Afterwards a singular discovery was made by an officer. Upon taking possession of the effects in the little cottage, which were only worth a few shillngs, barely sufficient to pay-the rent that was owing, he found in a rickety drawer a pass-book of an Aberbele bank, which showed a balance of nearly £300 to the aged pauper's credit. The last depoBit was made 30 years ago. The book was forwarded to the bank, and on the account being made up, It was found to total £560, the original amount at compound interest having doubled Itself. By Lydia E.

A LIVE STOCK SHOW OF THE HIGHEST ORDER HOW FELICIA SHOWED HER. When Mrs. Slidell, who lived across the street from the Trentons and had two marriageable daughters of her own, learned that young Dr. Baldwin was devoting himself assiduously to Felicia Trenton it troubled her "Felicia is a good girl in many [ ways," she said confidentially to half a dozen of her most intimate friends, "but she is certainly not the girl for a struggling young physician to marry. While she has the appearance of being a good manager and all that, and everybody knows that she simply runs things at home, it seems to me that it's more a sign of bad temper than anything-else. That poor little mother of hers just gives in to her because she knows there would be a tremendous fuss if she didn't. Of course, she seems to have so much attention from men, butyou'll notice that none of them keep it up very long. "You remember Tom Hays, don't you?" continued Mrs. Slidell, warming to her theme. "Of course, some people say to this day that he was desperately in love with Felicia, but to my own personal knowledge he never went near her the last tirnp ho WAH in It was some weeks later that Fell' cia met Mrs. Slidell Just coming out of Dr. Baldwin's office.

Chase Osborn states that he will carefully consider the request for better labor legislation should a call for a special session of the legislature be issued. This response from the governor is in reply to a resolution adopted unanimously and forwarded to him, asking that he include in his special call the questions of compulBory arbitration and a law aimed against the importation of men from outside cities and states to take the places of striking workmen without their employer first having Informed them of the true conditions existing in the city when they are hired. Ann Arbor.—Several changes in the law course in the university have been made that will take effect next fall. One change is that all courses that were for two hours for two semesters have been changed to four hours for one semester, thus increasing the number of hours and lessening the number of weeks. Another change is that 48 hours of the 76 necesary for graduation will be required subjects, making 28 hours elective. Beginning with October, 1912, a year's literary work in some accredited college will be necessary before a- student may enter the law department of Michigan. Monroe.—David Stewart, one of the best-known farmers of Monroe county, was the victim of a Holdup while driving from the city to his home, When about half way to his home, a mile west on the Bluebush road, three men jumped into his wagon and overpowering him, demanded his money and valuables. After securing what money he had, the robbers left their badly frightened victim and made their escape. Stewart notified the sheriff by telephone as soon as he reached his house and the latter started on the track of the highwaymen. Concord.—Miss Leah West, eieven- year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. West of Pulaski, was drowned at Swain's lake, near here. With Eva Suttenden, Miss West waded out some distance and they got beyond their depth. Miss Suttenden was saved by Ray West, a brother of Leah. The body of the West girl was later recovered In 15 feet of water.

Edward Gucker, 612 S. 14th St., Mattoon, 111., says: "I could scarcely stand the terrible pains in my back and I gradually ran down until I was a physical wreck. My kidneys were in terrible condition— the urine passing too freely and being a chalky white in color. My appetite failed, I lost flesh rapidly and could not sleep. The doctors thought I had only a short time to live. I was so greatly improved after short use of Doan's Kidney Pills that I continued and was completely cured.

Cement Talk No. 3 Concrete is the hardened rock-like product made by using some brand of Portland cement with sand, gravel or broken s t o n e a n d water. T h e cement is the material which binds the sand, gravel or broken stone t o - gether; this binding actiton is produced by water. T h e terms "Cement" a n d "Concrete" thus have different meanings, although they are frequently used interchangeably. While cement is only one of the materials in concrete, it is perhaps the most important. T o insure the best results in concrete work, the highest grade of Portland cement should be used.

She had been doing some work around the house and had an a kimono and dreadful old slippers and her hair up In curl papers, and all that sort of thing, and George just turned around and went away and never went back again.". It was odd, and of course very unfortunate that Mrs. Slidell should have been taken so ill as to require the services of a physician just at the time when her own family doctor was out of town. Felicia Trenton laughed when she happened to look out of the window and see the doctor going up the Slidell front steps to make a professional call. She laughed again when she met him at her own door. "What's the joke?" asked the doctor. "What did she say about me?" she asked. "Who—" the doctor began. Then he, too, laughed. "Conceited young woman," he said; "what makes you thing she said anything about you?" "Precedent," responded Felicia lightly. "You know I dread having a new physician, so I was simply distressed to death when I was taken so ill when Dr. Toole was out of town. But I've simply fallen in love with your Dr. Baldwin." "Oh, please don't call him my Dr. Baldwin's protested Felicia. "I really know him very slightly. He didn't make much of an impression on me when I met him." "Is that possible?" cried Mrs. Slidell. "Why, my girls consider him perfectly charming. You know he has dined with us several times, and just between you and me he's very much taken with Isabel. You know Isabel is so natural and unaffected, and Dr. Baldwin tells me that he particularly dislikes artificiality," "He'll never like me, then," said Felicia. "Let me hurry up and get away, so that there won't be any pos-1 sibility of his seeing me. One of my eyebrows is on crooked right this minute.'-—Sho hurried away with a laugh. "Cat," she said to herself. "I'll show her." Fortune favored Felicia, for a few days later, just as she was stepping out of Dr. Baldwin's small, but very correct, little motor car, assisted by the doctor's devoted hand, Mrs. Slidell came trimming lightly, lovingly toward them, "Shall 1 tell her?" murmured the doctor. Felicia nodded. "You darling," cooed Mrs. Slidell, as she stopped beside the two. "How lovely you look, and such a beautiful color! And bow becoming that style of hair dressing is to you," she gushed on. "You don't know how often I've envied you your lovely color and your beautiful heavy hair!" Felicia patted her curls approvingly. "They are rather nice, arent they?" she inquired. "But you can have plenty if you want to pay for i t To tell you the truth, though, I'm getting a little bit tired of the hair I have now.

Address tbe National Tribune, Washington, D. C. Rook and Gull. The rook appears to have become < the bird whose uame stands for swin- ' tilers in a distinctly unfair way, the London Chronicle says. At first "rook" meant a dupe, then the verb "to rook" came to mean to cheat, and out of this was evolved "rook," u cheater—a complete topsy turv.y process. It is curious that the same thing has not "happened to "gull." Here also the verb came from the substantive mean ing a dupe, aud, as the gull strikes one as rather a knowing bird, one might have expected the same erolu tion as in the case of the rook. It should be observed, however, thai "gull." a dupe, did not refer specially to the seagull, the word having formerly meant a young bird of any kind. In Elizahetlita English it signified u callow youngster who wished to be thought suuuit. OS(S<9(S9B0nS9SS8SoV3C89KS89(Z89So^K8SX8tt * Literary Cure For Snoring. To the snorers who ask for the cure let the cause be announced. Snoring is the result of stomachic repletion and mental vacuity. A. correspondent who has suffered from both prescribes the cure—a light supper or none, to avoid repIeHon, and the frequent repetition of some literary phrase to provide occupation for the mind during Bleeping hours. Go to bed and think of some short literary phrase to occupy your mind.

The apparent success with which Profeasor James M. Munyon, the worldfamous health authority, has been meeting has (started much discussion. Every street car brings dozens of callers to hia Laboratories at CM and Jefferson Streets. Philadelphia, Pa., and every mall brings thousands of letters from people inquiring about Munyon'B FamouB Health CuU. Professor Munyon's corps of expert physicians is kept busy seeing callers and answering the mail. Peculiar to say, these physicians prescribe no medicine nt all for 60 per cent, of the callers and mall inquiries; health hints, health advice and rules for right living are given absolutely free. Medical advice and consultation absolutely free. Munyon'B followers seem to be enormous. Those who believe in his theories seem to think he possesses the most marvelous powers for the -healing of all sorts of diseases. Munyon, himself, laughs at this. He says: "The hundreds of cureB which you are hearing about every day in Philadelphia are not in any way due to my personal skill. It is my remedies, which represent the combined brains of the greatest medical specialists science has ever known, that are doing the work. I have paid thousands of dollars for a single formula and the exclusive right to manufacture It. I have paid tens of thousands of dollars for oth- -**» ©I- my -various forms of treatment. This Is why I get such remarkable results. I have simply bought the best products of the best brains in the world and placed this knowledge within the reach of the general, public." Among Munyon's callers yesterday were many who were enthusiastic In their praise of the man. One of these said: "For six years I suffered with rheumatism, My arms and legs were afflicted so badly that I could hardly work, and I could not raise my arms to my head, The pain waa most severe In the back, however, and I was in perfect torture. I tried In many ways to get cured. or even to secure temporary relief, but nothing Beemed to help me until I was persuaded by a friend to try Dr. Munyon's Uric Acid Course. It was the most marvelously acting remedy I. ever saw. i within a week the pain had most gone and Inside of a month I considered myself entirely cured. I can now go out in the worst weather—cold, wet or anything else', and I have not felt any suspicion of a return of the disease. I think that every person who has rheumatism and does not take the Uric Acid Course Is making a great mistake." -The continuous stream of caller*: and mall that comes to Professor James M.

He notices a camp fire at a distance and then sees a team attached t6 a wagon and at full gallop pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to hunt down the murderers.

CHAPTER V I I I . t-i The Wilderness Cabin. I The light was considerably farther ~ away than they had atHrst-supposed, and as they advanced steadily toward it, the nature of the ground rapidly changed, becoming Irregular, and littered with low growing shrubs. In the darkness they stumbled over outcroppings of rock, and after a fall or two, were compelled to move forward with extreme caution. But the mysterious yellow glow continually beckoned, and with new hope animating the hearts of both men, they staggered on, nerving themselves to the effort, and following closely along the bank cf the stream. At last they arrived where they «ould perceive dimly something of the nature of this unexpected desert oasis. i The light shone forth, piercing the night, through the uncurtained window of a log cabin, which would otherwise nave been completely concealed from .view by a group of low growing cottonwoods. This was all the black, enshrouding night revealed, and even this was merely made apparent by the yellow Illumination of the window. The cabin stood upon an island, a strip of sand, partially covered by water, separating it from the north shore on which they stood. There was no ^Bign of life about the hut, other than the burning lamp, but that alone was sufficient evidence of occupancy, rh -aplte-ot hnnger. and urgent na^ri, Keith hesitated, uncertain as to what they might be called upon to face. Who could be living in this out-of-the-way spot, in the heart of this inhospitable desert? It would be no cattle outpost surely, for there was no surrounding grazing land, while surely no professional hunter would choose such a barren spot for headquarters. Either a hermit, anxious to escape all intercourse with humanity, or some outlaw hiding from arrest, would be likely to select so Isolated a'-place In which" to live. To them it would be Ideal. Away from all trails, where not even widely roving cattlemen would penetrate, in midst of a desert avoided by Indians because of lack of game—a man might hide here year after year without danger of discovery. Yet such a one would not be likely to welcome their coming, and they were without arms. But Keith was not a man to hesitate he stepped down into the shallow water. "Come on, Neb," he commanded, "and we'll find out who lives here." ' The window faced the west, and he came up the low hank to where the door fronted the north in Intense darkness. Under the shadow of the oottonwoods he could see nothing, groping his way, with hands extended. His foot struok a flat stone, and he plunged forward, striking the unlatch* ed door so heavily as to swing It open, - and fell partially forward into the room. As he* struggled to his knees, Neb's black face peering past him Into ih£ lighted interior,, he seemed to perceive in one swift, comprehensive glance, every revealed detail. A lamp burned on a rudely constructed set of drawers near the window, and a wood fire blazed redly in a stone fireplace opposite, the yellow and red lights jblending la a peculiar glow of color, finder this radiance were revealed the ?Qugh,log walls plastered with yellow clay, and hung about with the skins of wild animals, a roughly made table, W e except for a book lying upon it, and a few ordinary appearing boxes, {evidently utilized as seats, together With a barrel out ao as to make a comfortable chair, la the back wall was A door, partially open, apparently leading into a second room. That was all, .except the woman. , Keith must have, perceived all these in that, first hurried glance, for they Were >ver after closely associated together in his mind, yet at the moment $«?'possessed no clear thought of any- •thing except her. She stood directly behind the table, where she must have •prong hastily at the first sound of their approach, clutching at the rudt mantel above the fireplace, and staring toward him, her face white, her breath coming In sobs. At first ha thought the vision a dream, a oaUriam born *N>m,ais leng atrog^;'h*atoM not ^©omoeiTe the possibility of stteh a presto this lonely p^aoa, and stagger- > .Me faeV g s t l * ^ * ! * * words were so unexpected that, for the moment he failed to realize their full purport Finally he straightened up. "I—I accept any terms you desire," he gasped weakly, "if—if you will only give one return." One return?—what?" Food; we have eaten nothing for sixty hours." Her face, which had been so white, flushed to the hair, her dark eyes softening. "Why, of course; sit down. I ought to have known from your face. There is plenty here—Buch as it is—only you must wait a moment." i. . • V ^ "I—I Accept Any Terms You Desire." at the slender, gray clad figure, the almost girlish face under the shadowing dark hair, expecting the marye 1 lous vision to vanish. Surely this could not be real! A woman, and such a woman as this here, and alone, of all places! He staggered from weakness, almost terror, and grasped the table to hold himself erect. The rising wind came swirling in through the open door, causing the fire to send forth spirals of smoke, and he turned, dragging the dazed negro within, and snapping the latch behind him. When he glanced around again he fully believed the vision .confronting him would have vanished. But no! there she yet remained, those wide-open, frightened brown eyes, with long lashes half hiding their depths, looking directly into his own; only now she had slightly changed her posture, leaning toward him across the table. Like a flash he comprehended that this waB reality—flesh and blood—and, with the swift Instinct of a gentleman, his i*»y-h^>m^ nt pnRBiMft HangMV-^iid numbed, neryelesB fingers Jerked off • , • > • . ^X'rini hlrhat, and-he bowed bareheaded" before her. "Pardon me," he said, finding his voice with difficulty. "I fell over the step, but—but I didn't expect to find a woman here." He heard her quick breathing, marked a slight change in the expression of the dark eyes, and caught the glitter of the firelight on a revolver In her lowered hand. "What did you expect to find?" "I hardly knew," he explained lamely; "we stumbled on this hut by accident I didn't know there was a cabin in all this valley." "Then ,you are not here for any purpose? to meet with any one?" "No; we were lost, and had gone Into camp up above, when we discovered your light" "Where do you come from?" Keith hesitated Just an Instant, yet falsehood was never easy for him, and he saw no occasion for any deceit now. "Carson City." "What brought you here?" "We started for the 'Bar X' ranch down below, on the Canadian; got caught in a sand-storm, and then Just drifted. I do not know within twenty miles of where we are." She drew a deep breath of unconcealed relief. "Are you alone V 'The negro and I—yes; and you haven't the altghtest reason to be afraid of us—we're square." She looked at him searchingly, Wind something in Keith's clean-cut face seemed to bring reassurance, confidence 4n the man. "I am not afraid," she answered, coming toward him around the short table. "Only it is so lonely here, and you startled me, bursting In without warning. But you look all right, and I am going to believe your story. What la your aamer* Keith.- -*^r - s . "A cowman?" "A little of everything, 1 reckon," a touch of returning bitterness in the tone. "A plainsman, who has punched cattle, but my last Job was government scout" "You look as though you might bo more than that," she said slowly. The man flushed, his lips pressing tightly together. "Well. I—I may have been," he confessed unwillingly. "I started out all right, but somehow I reckon I just went adrift It's a habit in this country." Apparently-those first words otcomment had left her lips unthinkingly, for she made no attempt to reply; merely Btood there directly facing him, her clear eyes gazing frankly into his own. He seemed to actually see her now for the first time, fairly—a supple, slender figure, simply dressed, with wonderfully expressive brown eyes, a perfect wealth of dark hair, a clear complexion with slight olive tlnge_ to it, a strong, intelligent face. noT~strictly beautifuIT yet strangely attractive, the forehead low and broad, the nose straight, the lips full and inclined to smile. Suddenly a vague .remembrance brought recognition. "Why, I know you now." "Indeed!" the single word a note of undisguished surprise. "Yes; I thought you looked oddly familiar all the time, but couldn't for the life of me connect up. You're Christie Maclaire." "Am I?" her eyes filled with curiosity. ^'Of course you are. You needn't be afraid of me If you want it kept secret, but I know you Just the same. Saw you at t i n 'Gaiety' in Independence, maybe two months ago. I went three times, mostly on your account You've got a great act, and you can sing too." She stood in silence, still looking fixedly at him, her bosom rising and falling, her lips parted as if to speak. Apparently she did not know what to do, how to act, and was thinking swiftly. "Mr. Keith," she said, at last in decision, "I am going to ask you to blot that all out—to forget that you even suspect me of being Christie Maclaire, of the Gaiety." "Why, certainly; but would you explain?" "There is little enough to explain. It is sufficient that I am here alone with you. Whether I wish to or not, I am compelled to trust myself to your protection. You may call me Christie Maclaire, or anything else you please; you may even think me unworthy respect, but you possess the face of a gentleman, and as such I am going to trust you—I must trust you. Will you accept flay " confidence on these terms?" Keith did not smile; nor move. Weak from hunger and fatigue, he leaned wearily against the wall. Nevertheless that simple, womanly appeal awoke an that was strong sad sacrificing within him, although her CHAPTER IX. The Girl of the Cabin. He saw Neb drop down before the blazing fireplace, and curl up like a tired dog, and observed her take the lamp, open the door into the other room a trifle, and slip silently out of sight. He rememJbere.A_slaxlng_.y^guely about the little room, still illumined by the flames, only half comprehending, and then the reaction from his desperate struggle with the elements overcame all resolution, and he dropped his head forward on the table, and lost consciousness. Her hand upon his shoulder aroused him, startled into wakefulness, yet he scarcely realized the situation. "I have placed food for the negro beside him," she said quietly, and for the first time Keith detected the soft blur in her speeeh. "You art from the South!" he exclaimed, as though it was a discovery. "Yes—and you?" "My boyhood began in Virginia— the negro was an old-time slave in our family." She glanced across at the- black, now sitting up and eating voraciously. "I thought he had once been a slave; one can easily tell that I did not ask him to sit here because, if ycu do not object, we will eat here together. I have also been almost as long without food. It was so lonely here, and—and I hardly understood my situation—and I simply could not force myself to eat." . He dlstinguisned her words clearly enough, although she spoke low, as if she preferred what Was said between them should hot reach" the ears of the negro, yet somehow, for the moment, they made no adequate impression on him. Like a famished wolf he began on the coarse fare, and for ten minutes hardly lifted his head. Then his eyes chanced to meet hers across the narrow table, and Instantly the gentleman reawoke to life. (TO BE CONTINUED.) ODD NEW ZEALAND LIZARt Tuatara Originally Had Pour Eyes, but Has Lost Two in Course of Ages. The tuatara lizard, found In New Zealand, is one of the most ancient forms of animal life now found on earth. Originally this lizard possessed four eyes, but in the course of ages it has lost one pair. The tuatara lay eggs which are remarkable in that they require fourteen-months' to hatch, the embryo passing the win ter in a state of hibernation. The small survivors of past ages are found only in a few localises a; are becoming very scarce, collectors from every part or the world being continually on their trail. They are about two feet in length and, !n common with other lizards, have the for tunate characteristic of being able fo replace portions of their limbs or tails which have been destroyed. It is asserted that one of there lizards, owned by a naturalist, had the misfortune some time ago to lose an eye, and that a complete mw eye, perfect in every way, has grown In the place of the old one.—Montreal Standard. Establishing a Reputation. "If I knew how to go about It I would have every dog In my store tried before a Judge and jury for assault and battery," said the animal dealer. "Unless he was convicted and executed I could get about three prices for him. "Every time a dog is haled to court on the charge of having bitten somebody I attend the trial and take part in the reception the beast holds after his acquittal. A dog that has enough class about him to precipitate a law* suit couldn't be bought for love or money, but if his master wished to sell him he could do so a dozen timet over before leaving the courtroom. "Even If it has been, proved that the dog does show his teeth once in a while there are people willing to take chances just for the sake of owning a dog that has so much character. Belling dogs being in my line, I have studied up a good many ways to advertise, but trial by jury is the best way so far discovered." Criminal Instinct Crimes lead into one another.

If you are obliged to have your hands in water for a long time, so that the fingers become shrunken, dip them in vinegar or pour it over the ha?ids and they will be restored to normal condition. To properly protect the ends of the fingers the nails should extend a little beyond the tips. When the nails are too short the skin Is apt to become rough directly under the nails, which makes it almost impossible to keep them clean. The white crescents at the base of the nail can be brought into view by gently pressing back the cuticle every day. Pile the nail to correspond with the shape of the crescent. Bouquet 8atad. Use a good head of cabbage lettuce, arrange the white leaves in a bunch resembling the matured head in the center of a flat dish, garnish with slices of tomato and hard-boiled eggs.

Mayonnaise may be used on the eggs and tomato If preferred, Is which caseAthe dressing should be put on the eggs in the cup under the rotas.

CHILD'S HEAD A MASS OF HUMOR "I think the Cutlcura remedies are the best remedies for eczema I have ever heard of. My mother had a child who had a rash on its head when it was real young. Doctor called It baby rash. He gave us medicine, but it did no good. In a few days the head was a solid mass, a running sore. It was awful; the child cried continually. We had to .hold him and watch him to keep him from scratching the sore. His suffering was dreadful. AUdast we remembered Cutlcura Remedies. We got a dollar bottle of Cutlcura Resolvent, a box of Cutlcura Ointment, and a'"bar•of-CuUettra- Soap. We-gare the Resolvent as directed, washed the head with the Cutictya Soap, and applied the Cutlcura Ointment. We had not used half before the child's head was clear and free from eczema, and it has never come back again. His head was healthy and he had a beautiful head of hair. I think the Cutlcura Ointment very good for the hair. It makes the hair grow and prevents falling hair." (Signed) Mrs. Francis Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1910. Although Cutlcura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a sample Of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cutlcura," Dept. 12 L, Boston. Naughty, but Nice. Edith, whp_is eight years old, was invited to a children's party. Her blonde hair was perfectly straight, but becomingly arranged, and she started off in high feather. But on her return she was rather silent, and, on being questioned as to her experience, said: "I had a nice time, but it would have been nicer if my hair was kinky. All the other girls' hair was kinky, and I shan't go to another party unless my hair Is fixed in kinks." So the next week, when another invltatlnn rame for the little glrl,_heT_ hair was curled and.fluffed out in the most approved style. Then her mother led her to a mirror, and said: "There, Edith, what do you think of it?" Edith regarded herself soberly for a moment, and then, turning slowly around^-sne said: "It's vain, but I likj As Waists Used to Be. A London paper prints an article from the ladles' treasury of 1866, In which a prize is offered for the woman with the smallest waist in proportion to her size, A silk dress was the first prize and a gold watch second prize.

Quick lunches, hurried eating, bolting food, are sure to end, sooner or later, in some form of indigestion, more or less troublesome. JBeecAamZ &M quickly relieve the distress caused by hurried eating. They act directly on the stomach nerves and actually help the food to digest and assimilate.

When the first passenger railroad ever built was opened in England in 182i) the train traveled from one end of the line to the other, a distance of twelve miles, in two hours. And Wood, one ot the best known writers on thw subject of railroads at that day, wrot« as follows: "Nothing can do more harm to the adoption of railways than the promui gat ion of sachJ nonsense as that we •hail see locomotives traveling at the rate of twelve miles an hour." Today, with locomotives traveling tvt the rate of seventy-five miles an hour One tun look at Wood's warning with a feeling of amusement. In 1829 u locomotive was introduced in this country, «nd iu the following year Peter Cooper experimented with a locomotive on the B. and O. railroad. a^ji»*flues of the boiler were made froni-gpu,.barrels. The boiler was about the size of a flour barrel. Cooper related with considerable satisfaction how on the trial trip of this engine he passed a gray horse attached to a wagon.—New York World. Big Pokir Stale**. Many stories of big poker games among the western cattlemen in the early days have been told, but this story of the game with probably the greatest stakes is really true. Two well known cattlemen of southwestern Kansas, one of whom is now a prominent business man in Kansas City, started to move their herds to the pastures of Wyoming. Each herd contained more than a thousand head of cattle. When they came to the crossing of the Arkansas river near Coolidge they found a flood on. They were unable to cross for,two_pr_ three days! ~To~ white away the time the two men engaged in a poker game. When the flood finally subsided so that the cattle could proceed one of the cattlemen said to his son, who was helping to drive, "Just turn nay herd over to our neighbor and we will go back home." lie had bet and lost not only all the money be hud, but all of the herd of cattle.—Kansas City Journal. Moving Troops by Rail. "Let us suppose it became necessary to send the entire national guard of New York out of the state, how iong would it take the railroads to handle them?" was asked a railroad official in New York. "Twenty-four hours, easy," was the Instant reply. "This is under war condktons, rememberr— which means thai everything gives wny to the movement of troops and their equipment. The railroads of America can handle men and war material of all kinds, including everything from horses and men to cannon and rations, much faster than they can be assembled and delivered to us. In fact, under war conditions the railroads are prepared to do their part quicker and better, with more certainty und better speed, than any other part of the machinery, commercial or military, In America.«'—Katlroad Man's Magazine. * Black Fridays. In England_lhfi term Black Friday was first applied to Dec. 6, 1745, the day on which news reached London that the pretender, Charles Edward, had reached Derby. Again on May 11, 188C, when the failure of a large English discounting institution brought on a most disastrous panic, the day was called Black Friday. On the day of the suspension tbe Bank of Englandraised the rate of discount 9 per cent. Wild speculation in gold in New York and other cities culminated in a monetary crash on Sept. 16, 1875, that swept thousands of firms and individuals into financial ruin and caused a commercial depression that extended into the eighties of the last century; hence the origin of the term Black Friday in the United States.

Our schools have long been favored with a large foreign attendance, last year surpassing any previous year, and the young people of the surrounding districts will undoubtedly continue to avail themselves of its privileges since it was never iu better condition to give value received. Special ar- ;ements have beeo made so that a high school pupil may get a thorough drill on all subjects required for a third grade certifi. cate. With every years repetition of the school course there should be improvement in every phrase of teatitH&g, more effective amplification of the text*, new examples quoted, new devices for practical exercises. All of this ttrt»a» work unceasing work, for both the teachers and pupils; but work is made easy by enthusiasm and delightful by success. Children are admitted at five yeaue of age. They may remain in the begio*«t« class for one year or be transferred to the first grade as their age and progress require, Begianers classes are •formed but once a year, and that is in September, hence tbe ONLY time of entrance for children is in the PALL. Pupils who wish to enter grades below the High Schools will be permitted to do so on presentation of satisfactory certificates, otherwise they will be subject to such examinations as jtbe Superintendent deems necessary i n order to determine their classification. Non-Resident pupils receive a cordial welcome, and so far as is consistent with the general grade ing of the school a special effort will be made to afford a^l such a classification as is best suited to to their needs An eighth grade county diploma admits a pnpil to our ninth grade. . Non-Residents that have not passed the county examination will be given an examination before entering our high school. Superintendent H, ^ D. Me- Don gall will be pleased to meet parents or pupils, at bis residence on Unadilla street, who may wish to interview him before opening of Bchool. Now for another year of drawing out, unfolding, developing, enlarging and strengthening all the powers, faculties and susceptibilities of human nature. •W TEEPLE HARDWARE COMPANY "I n' i",• rw»? f?! rJ$5*£& > • > * * • • -N,- - 4 i dk ,'.. - v- n Throw r!.'! n:^ns:re \vhcrc it's needed moat..'

'"T&^titf? /VMJffT itt D/XIt HE marketing of hit produce Is obviously on* of the chief responsibilities cf the American farmer and In. the pres-' ent age, scarcely less than in the days of oiar grandfathers, is the problem of transporting the produce to market liable to prove something of a problem. To the outsider it might appear simple enough if he does not take into consideration the numerous factors "that have bearing tn the matter;" For one thing, there Is the weather, which must always be taken into account in planning a trip to market With produce, even though the journey J^Jto, * • made over good roads. Then SgeSj, the product to be transported may be fragile, such as eggs, or perishable, as, for instance, some forms of berries and fresh fruits. And finally there is the necessity of taking into account probable market conditions at the prospective destination, for presumably produce will sell more readily on "market days" than on "off days." Despite the complications that soem Inevitable there are a surprising number of American farmers who still persist In the practice of marketing their products direct to the consumer. Indeed* In some localities the number seems to actually be increasing rather than diminishing. This is all the more remarkable when we pause to reflect upon the facilities that are now being offered the farmer for marketing his produce at his own door. Agents of commission merchants and "runners" for dealers in the large cities traverse rural routes, regularly, buying for spot cash eggs, vegetables, etc., and to a point have things'progressed the farmer who prefers may sell his «berry crop on the vines and his peaches or pears or apples on the trees leaving to the "other fellow" not only all the worries of transportation, but the bother of picking and packing and, incidentally, the loss from waste. At the same time there Is no certainty that the farmer who elects to market his own products has not the best of the bargain. He Is very likely to have if his farm Is located near any good-sized town or city and if he is engaged in diversified farming or trucking. Of course the man who is farming on a big scale and devoting himself to a specialty, be it fr celery or nuts or grain will not hauk,£i«*l>roduce to town by the wagonload aa<f disclose of It at first hand to the hungry housewives. All the same it is ten chances to one that he is following the same haste'principles that are the wise ones for the farmer desirous of selling to the best advantage the varied products of a small farm. All the shrewdest men engaged in farming— be they operating on a large or small scale— have learned in recent years that it means added wealth and reduced worries if they can adopt the principle, of selling as directly as possible to the ultimate consumer. Obviously, of course, they cut out the middleman's profit and better yet, they are enabled to eliminate many of the losses In perishable products which have caused so much controversy between commission merchants and farmers. Finally, by marketing direct, the tiller of the soil can establish a reputa* tion for the quality of his products and this is a most Important asset for the man who expects to continue In the same vocation year after year. Indeed, building on the foundation of quality and prompt delivery he may build op a droit of patrons of his own that will render him lode* pendent of everything because they will stand ready year after year to take the entire product of his farm and take it, too, at prices higher than role for the regular run of similar produce in the open market. As the advantages of such plans of direct deal* Ing have been brought home to the farmers they have, been gradually perfecting their facilities for making the short cut from the farm to the city dinner table. The farmer who is a specialist in fruit or vegetable raising or any other line i s likely to have hit own sales agent who goes to the city with each consignment of produce and personally superintend* it* disposition, or If he Is not operating on a big enough scale to do this single handed ho If likely to join forces with several of hit neighbors to engage a representative who will handle their pooled products to the best possible advantage. In any event the quantity of pfodflcs) to be handled insures to the shipper thus situated the belt of freight or express service If, Indeed he has not adopted the particularly up-todate method of transporting hit farm products tar means of motor tracks.

"Particularly in the case of the young people do these periodical visits get to fill a large place in their lives^There are hardships to be sure, not the-4eaet~6i them suggested by the fact that usually the trip to market must begin ere daylight in order to reach the city in time to catch the trade of the earliest marketers, but the farmer folk who have acquired the habit cf huckstering in this way are invariably loath to give-it up. Many a romance, too, has had its inception during the progress of the caravans of produce-laden wagons to market or In the exchange of courtesies between the farmer folk whose wagons are ranged so closely side by side in the congested urban market districts. In the sparsely settled and more isolated sections of the country there are many odd spectacles Incident to the transportation of produce to market. In some localities where canals are yet In use the quaint, slow-moving boats are employed to carry the eatables/and In the south one may see donkeys, bullocks and all manner of unconventional steeds pressed Into service to move the foodstuffs. Just here it may be noted that the old-fashioned colored folk of the south take at naturally to the conduct of portable market stands as a fish does to water. In a kindly climate such as is theirs most of the staple vegeadB- Tr^pftfc«""for-IfselTTn the transportation of farm produce, the major portion of this responsibility yet rests with the good old-fashioned farm wagon drawn by one or two horses. Strength rather than style is a requisite of a produce-carrying vehicle and this same may be said of the horses employed and the harness. The growing preference of the American people for food commodities in package form is an influence felt indirectly in the transportation of farm products. From time out of mind berries have been sent to market in trays, boxes and crates, but latterly there has been a tendency to provide standard size baskets for apples, peaches, tomatoes, etc. In the old days the consumer who purchased less than a barrel of apples or potatoes did not receive them in an "original package" bearing the grower's statement as to quantity and quality, but all this is being changed owing to prevailing market conditions—aided and abetted by growers who are eager to establish a reputation for their branded products. Eggs are another commodity which will bring increased prices all the year round if furnished direct to discriminating consumers. The stigma of the cold storage egg is such that persons who are keen for really fresh eggs are in many instances willing to pay an advance of 50 to 100 per cent, over the prevailing market figure for eggs that can be depended upon. Poultry raisers have not been slow to take advantage of this and instead of the large crates made familiar by cold storage methods we now find the fancy-priced "guaranteed" eggs put up by the dozen in boxes of wood or pasteboard, each box being closed by a seal which insures that its contents have not been tampered with, HIS COLOR CHANGED. a good substitute for spinach if prop erly cooked.

USE FOR,THE CHEAPER CUTS PASTIMES OF THE PAST It hat not been so very long ago—middle aged mothers and fathers of today will recall the happy, happy time—when the game of grace hoops was in fashion. Indeed, was quite the rage, though of that placid epoch It mutt be said enthusiasm for out-of-door amusements as far as the dear girls were concerned, were as mild as pigeons' milk and never bubbled over the brim of pleasure's modest cup. If there was anything the young lady of that halcyon time dreamed it was the charge of being a Tommy. No, no, she matt never lose sight of deportment and her pretty lipa were framed on prisma and prunes to the proper tucker for conversational purposes—that is, for the little conversation that went with the game. So grace hoops were entirely en regie with/ the best ideas for deportment The charm of grace hoop* was slowly but surely paettag away when Maurice Thompson, who invented "Alioe of Old Vincennes," and hit brother, will Thompson, who wrote the thrilling poem, "Pickett's charge at Gettysburg," brought forward the long dinted bow and arrow, laid aside tor villainous" gunpowder, the Indianapolis Newt says. Maurice wrote a clever little book called T h e Witchery of Archery," and in a aurprlttngty short time young men and maidens joined 1» archtry clubs, wart plugging away with blunt arrewa at target* a t Wf around at cream cheese boxes of that day. rTfcdttfk these marksmen and women frequently went wMt of the target not to Cup**, ii '*# ttnn«# *r tomier haw ..who wet tfcere, wtth his bow and a full oompJe.

The writer has Keen the archery game played on several occasions, once on the grounds of the Knickerbocker school with only girls engaged— what a moribund affair It was!—and once, on the same grounds, with a detachment of young gentlemen— with what a delightful difference! But the archery game was not to last. It waa at last to join the grace hoops, and lor a time itt most ardent votaries were fain to solace their grief with the game of croquet and its melancholy dawwdllng. When one looks back to that day, with itt ladylike amusements, one can but wonder at the astounding progress made by the sex in out-ofdoor sport*. Now they thoot at a target or at live game?, either, no more with blunted arrows, bat with revolver and rifle; they play golf, swim, paddle canoes, play basketball, even play baseball, after a fashion; ride astride like their brothers— what a horror that would have been In the days of their mothers—and do anything that any proper young man might be permitted to do without the slightest centers and Quite at a matter of course.

Butchers should endeavor to correct the Impression of customers that only the high priced meats are valuable as food. On the contrary, says the National Provisioned the cheaper cuts are often more highly flavored and fully as nutritious. The chuck is one of the cheapest portions of the beef, but when cooked slowly in a small amount of water eHher with or without vegetables for seasoning is a most excellent dish. In stewing meat if too high a temperature Is used it will toughen the fibre. Another mistake is to overcook the meat until it falls to shreds. The skirt steak sells for two or three cents a pound less than the others, but if properly cooked is just as good. Lay the steak on a meat board and score it well with a chopping' knife. Then dredge with flour and' put it Into a smoking hot frying pan that has been greased enough to keep the meat from sticking to it. When well seared over on both tides pour over it a little boiling water and allow it to simmer slowly for two hours. Season to suit the taste.' A bit of carrot or onion or bay leaf and a little vinegar to soften the fibre will add to the flavor of the meat. All light meats are best stewed and browned just before serving. Mutton or beef is best browned first and then stewed. Cheaper cuts are best cooked In the fireleae cooker. When roasting meat It should be quickly seared over to retain the juices and then cooked slowly until done. Usually fifteen minutes to the pound Is required. Egg Rolls. Beat two eggs into one cup of milk, tdd one tablespoon of melted butter one cup of flour, one teaspoon of baking powder; mix well, then add enough flour to make the dough stiff enough to roll.

The roots of the golden thistle have been found to be good. They are used like salsify. They may be dug in September and kept ffirough the winter. Thus what has heretofore been regarded as a pest by the farmers may now be looked upon as a partial blessing, . Leek is another weed now honored as a food staple. It has wholesome properties and is excellent for flavoring. It can be wintered in a cellarr, or if planted In a large pot the leaves may be cut as often as they get too long to support themselves. Then, too, the bulb may be whittled away from the top until it be used up. The common mallow is another well known weed now being eaten. It rootB deeply, drawing valuable mineral elements to the surface. It has a mild, mellow flavor and those who like lettuce find it palatable. The young leaves are tender and crisp and are prepared like lettuce. It is a valuable tonic which the ancients made use of constantly as a raw food. The common milkweed, cooked, tastes like asparagus. It should be cut when about a foot high. The -slalk is large and succulent. Boiled and served with butter is the usual way of cooking, says the Scrap Book. It is also used as a salad, the tender lips only being utilized. Milkweed is excellent for the kidneys. Another weed which, when boiled like spinach, makes a nourishing dish, is the commonly called "lamb's quarter." It grows where large quantities of loose earth have been exposed to the sun, as in railway filling or newly made country road. It has a straight stem, from which the leaves grow large and sparse at the bottom and smaller and more thickly toward the top. The ordinary wild nettle htat grows in prickly abundance in every farmyard and fence corner is now being recognized in this country for the first a n d , h Cuticura Soap for washtime as a mluable food plant.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA "While attending school at Lebanon, Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with bolls, which lasted for about two years, when the affliction assumed the form of an eczema on my face, the lower part of my face being inflamed most of the time. There would be water-blisters rise up and open, and wherever the water would touch it would bum, and cause another one to rise.,. Aiter the blister would open, the place would scab over, and would burn and Itch so as to be almost unbearable at times. In this way the sores would spread from one place to another, back and forth over the whole of my upper lip and chin, and at times the whole lower part of my face would be a solid sore. This condition continued for four or five years, without getting any better, and In fact got worse all the time, so much. so that my wife became alarmed lest It prove fatal. "During all this time qf boils and eczema, I doctored with the best physicians of this part of the country, but to no avail. Finally I decided to Try Cuticura Remedies, which I did, taking the Cuticura Resolvent, applying, the Cuticura Ointment to the sores, ing. notice improvement, and continued to use the Cuticura Remedies until I was well again, and have not had a recurrence of the trouble since, which is over twenty years. I have recommended Cuticura Remedies Co others ever since, and have great faith in them as remedies for skin diseases." (Signed) A. C. Brandon, Attorney-at- Lajg,_Grfi£nvllle, P., Jan. 17, 1911.

The alfalfa seeding season, which begins in Michigan in early spring and continues until early summer, has been more extensive than in any previous year. During this time the Agricultural college has sent out 1,823 nltro-inoculatin'g cultures to as many different farms, where fields of from one to twenty acres have been started. Many fields have been sown of which the colleg6~iras~n~o~ recoraT The experiment station has distributed during the year more than 15,000 circulars and bulletins on alfalfa culture, and the extension department has organized sixty-six alfalfa clubs, with a combined membership of 950. These alfalfa clubs are organized wherever ten or more farmers agree to grow one or more acres. The organization of these clubs makes it possible for a representative of the college to hold an evening conference, with the alfalfa growers and to go with them to the tarms the next day to select sultab! fields and give special Instruction.: for planting, etc. There clubs a:.: widely distributed throughout the state* being located in forty-two cour.lies, eleven of which are In the upper peninsula. ^ The alfalfa-fields in various parts of the state which were started in previous years are reported as doing well and producing quantities of fodder, which has no equal in point of nutritive value and palatibillty. Many .fleldB now being cut for the seventh or eighth year are giving a profitable return. It will be plain from the above statements that alfalfa raising in Michigan is past the experimental stage and should appeal to every Michigan stockman as a serious economic proposition. Late summer and fall is the right time td begin thinking and planning for the alfalfa field of the coming year. It is then we can best decide on location and plan on preparation of the field. Havjng decided" early to grow alfalfa gives one a chance to watch for a good quality of seed and not be dependent on the market at seeding time. Then, too, in thinking about It beforehand it is almost certain that many points of information will be picked up which will be of great advantage when it comes to the actual field operations. The illustration with this .article shows this year's first cutting of alfalfa on an old leveled-down gravel pit. No other crop could be induced to grow here, but owing to the depth of root the alfalfa plants have grown and produced a profitable crop of fodder. "Circulars- giving "Information oh "Alfalfa Culture" have been widely distributed by the experiment station, but there Is still a supply, and Circulars 1 and 5 may be secured by writing to Director R. S. Shaw, East Lansing, Mich. Level Fields and How to Get Them By R. J. B A L D W I N Michigan Agricultural College Cultivation and Pruning of the Brambles By O. I. GREGG, Assistsot Horticulturist Michigan Agricultural College One of the greatest factors which , affect farm crops and farm operations Is the form of the surface of the land. An uneven surface net only makes machinery work with greater difficulty, but causes the crop to be spotted, due to uneven supply of moisture1 and fertility. The little elevations shed the water, which carries with it the readily available plant food. If the surface is more nearly level the manure will stay more evenly distributed and there will be lesB areas suffer for the want of the moisture which helped to drown out the crop in other parts of the field during the rainy season. Leveling can best be done while fitting the land for wheat, or in the spring when it is best prepared for beans. Any other time will do, as well provided the surface of the field is loose to a depth of several inches and the season is not too busy. Many leveling devices have been successful, and the one illustrated here does good work even where the land is very rough. It is made of stiff 2x12 inch plank, the sides being 18 to 20 feet long, and the cross pieces S feet long. The front faoes of the cross pieces, which push the dirt, should be faced with iron, to prevent wear on the cutting edges. Boards should be nailed over the top of the leveler to act as braces and afford a place for the driver to ride and carry other weight if necessary. The free ends of the plank sides should be provided with shoes three feet long and three or four inches wide. When drawn over uneven ground the middle cross piece will cut and carry when It passes over a rise and will nuload when the two ends are high. The front piece works in the same way, loading and unloading itself automatically. Pour horses will handle a leveler of these dimensions, and cover a considerable area per day. Mi Fix the Gates. Keep the gates fixed up. A large gats tkat sags out of *laca or* drag* om the f r o m * wastes a lot «f jpur It is a common practice to keep the cultivator going until late in July in com and beans, but many and in fact most farmers and small fruit growers do not think it necessary to pay much attention to the cultivation of the brambles. The most successful growers, however, cultivate them up to picking time and then cultivate the ground after every picking, thus making and keeping the soil mulch which is so necessary in order to utilize all of the soil water to the very best advantage. Continue this cultivation until about the first of August, then discontinue it, as it is necessary to stop the rapid growth in order for the canes to become well matured before winter so that they will not be so apt to freeze back. Some growers place the rows far enough apart—nine or ten feet—so that a disk harrow can be used with two horses throughout the season. Pruning of the brambles differs not only with the kind but also with varieties, but generally speaking the new growths of black raspberries and purple cane raspberries should be tipped as soon as they reach a height of two to two and one-half feet, even though it is necessary to do it picking time. This causes the side branches to develop quickly and gives them a longer time to make strong side shoots. The black raspberry should be tipped as soon as it reaches a height of 18 inches to two feet. The young shoots of the red raspberry should not be touched until the following spring, then all shoots of all branches should be cut back to the point where the shoot begins to curve toward the ground. Many growers put off pruning out the old fruit canes until the spring pruning, but this is a wrong practice. The old canes of all kinds of brambles should be taken out Just as soon as the canes nave stopped fruiting. In fact some growers have them nearly all removed by the time the pickers are through the last time. These old canes if allowed to remain simply spread disease, take up room and shade the young growths. These old canes harbor Insect pests and they are the ones most apt to have Anthracnose, a disease which works on the cane, girdling it or nearly so, causing the fruit to ripen prematurely or dry up on the bushes. It can be kept from spreading to the other new canes to a great extent by cutting out these old canes as soon after harvesting as possible, then burn the primings, do not leave them in the row for some future time as they are as bad there as they wars on tfeo bush.

Century Ago Once Housed State's First Governor. Kansas City, Kan.—Within a few hundred feet of the site of the new city hall and almost under the shadow of the beautiful St. Mary's Catholic church there stands the oldest frame house in this city. It is the .home of the Misses Amelia and Ag&~" tha Waller, daughters of John Wajfrer, one of the early settlerb of Wyandotte county. Besides being the oldest house of its kind in the city this residence has the distinction of once having sheltered for a period of several months the first governor of Kansas, Charles Robinson. The Wallers have learned that he once had hiB office in the front room of the house, but whether he resided in the remainder of the dwelling they do not know. His period of residence in the house was in the early '60s, before a permanent state capital of KarisaB had been selected His home was near Lawrence, but business interests brought him to Kansas City, history says. This little house—It is a one-story structure with four rooms now, and it used to have but three—was brought here from Cincinnati" on a boat. It Is believed that the house was occupied in the Ohio city. When it was brought down the <5hio river, and up the Mississippi and the Missouri, and into the Kaw, it was in sections. The sides had been taken apart and the weather boarding removed. The old carpenter here avers the weather boarding was fastened to the frames with wooden pins. Miss Agatha Waller thinks the house was plastered soon after it was put together here. Just who brought the house to Kansas City has not been established. It is known, however, that it arrived in 1858 and at that time Samuel Mclntyre, one of the men who platted Wyandotte county, owned the property upon which the house stood. It is probable, therefore, that it was he who was responsible for the house being transferred to the banks of the Kaw. The house is still well preserved. The owners of it seldom have occasion to have it repaired. There never Llttte Pitcher Lady Visitor-*! sin coming to your mamma's company tomorrow, Jommy. Tommy—Well, you won't get a good supper.

Despite its age, says Miss Agatha Waller, the house is snug in the winter time. Almost half a century has passed since John Waller bought the house and several adjacent lots. His first purchase in that neighborhood was of 14 half lots and the house. For this he paid $360. Today any one of these lots would be worth several times that amount, "When my father bought the house," said Miss Agatha Waller, "it set several lots east of its present position and faced on Fifth street. The porch which runs along the side of the house in its present position was then said to be on the front of the house. It was a neat house. We were proud of It and its fame of having been brought here from 'far off' Cincinnati. - Of course m these days of fast travel Cincinnati does not seem far away, but it seemed a long distance then."

V \ V \ V * V \ V \ V White One of the beat and cheapest methods for feeding beet calves, writes E . C. Forbes In the Breeder's Gazette, la to let the calves follow the cows in pasture without any grain until early fall, when they are separated and the calves placed in a small pasture by themselves and allowed to nurse night and morning, with what grain they will clean u p twice a day. The grain ration should consist of equal parts by measure of coarsely ground shelled corn. oats, bran and finely chopped alfalfa or clover hay. If plenty of alfalfa hay Is at hand the calves should have access to mangers or racks filled with it when the grass becomes short. Care should be taken In starting calves on alfalfa, as too much of it will cause them to scour. Allow t h e calves to nurse twice per day until they are on nearly full speed; then let them nurse but once per day for a time, and finally the milk can be taken away entirely and no difference will be noticed In their gaining flesh. This method is In the spring or summer, but fall and winter calves, a s a matter of course, must be handled differently. Such calves should be put on feed just a s soon as they are old enough to eat and allowed to nurse twice per day. They sbould have free access to open sheds In inclement weather, but should never be housed more than is necessary. **#7 "%!*. .Ty% > » THE PRINCIPAL WINNER -—- ' v By F. A.

Clinton The superiority of a steer of beef type tor the economical production of meat has been demonstrated scientifically by Dr. H. P. Armsby in tests at the Pennsylvania experiment station. It was found In the most careful trials that a pure bred steer bad about the same digestive capacity as a scrub steer of rangy type. The amount of nutritive materials required for the mere maintenance of life was onethird greater for the scrub steer. The rate of gain per unit of feed was practically the same for the two steers owing to the fact that the scrub made more of its gain in lean meat, which contains mech water. The pure bred steer had a greater capacity for consuming feed, and It produced more fat. representing the storage of more energy available for human food.

This, however, is an excellent weight, and the feeder must not expect to have all of his calves attain this growth. Cows nursing calves during the winter months should be well taken care of.

When t h e American troops were fighting their w a y across Cuba, Captain Timberlaka, commanding a party otk flankers, noticed a coffin lying not far from the road. That evening i n camp Captain Timberlake was chatting upon the events of the day with the adjutant and the aoajor of h i s regiment, talking about who had been killed, who wounded, how t h e Spaniards fought and how they had the advantage of the Americans in the matter of arms nnd smokeless powder, when Timberlake spoke of the strange sight of a coffin lying beside tbe road.

The stakes having been put up, Captain Timberlake called Pat Mulcahey, a recruit picked u p just before leaving the States, and told him to go back half a mile and look out not far from a bridge over a creek for a coffin.

Indigestion in young foals Is often caused by the youngsters eating litter, such as straw, horse manure and, in fact* anything they can find. Often the foals eat such matter when only a few hours old, though they eat It at any age. The trouble usually comes on under one week of age. Tbe foal's stomach is unable to assimilate such material, and often the intestines become impacted, and the foal Is likely to succumb in a few-days. The best treatment, is prevention. This can be done by placing a morale on the young foal. Such a muzzle can be made of wire, it ihonid-** removed often to let the foal suckle the dam. In case the foal is troubled the best treatment is to give physic and Injection. For this ol ire ofl is prefer* red. and It may be given in two ounce doses three times per day until relief Is gained. — If. W. Harper. Cornell University. * A Causv Per Wonder.

Current humor has given to the •world, that It may laugh and be merry, the Btory of the woman who was so afraid of germs that "even her relations were strained." Now this 1B something more than an idle jest, and there is one New England community where a doctor has openly accused his women patients of being "germ mad." For this over-particularity Is an especially -feminine obsession. The case of the woman who bathed her child 100 times in 24 tours, and then was sent to the insane aBvhim, is well authenticated. Just as ft is possible to find sermons in stones and books in the running brooks, so every circumstance in life may be made to hold and yield the terror of Infection, a pressure of fear that, growing, often weakens and sometimes, annihilates the intellect Ween it is possible that Ignorance may be both blissful and safe, then the folly of wisdom is apparent. All this is no argument for carelessness. Every menace should find a watching sentinel, but one may mistake harmless things—orerscrub, overdislnfect, oversterillze every sorrounding object until life becomes a burden. - "Doctor,-now often shall—J- —boil Henry's toys?*' demanded an anxious mother of her family physician. "Just as often as you boil Henry himself, madam," was his sensible reply. The advice was followed, and In spite of a tendency to oversterillzation, Henry has grown Into 'a splendidly- strong boy. But if a woman believes and agonizes over the fact that a dog has 2,450 microbes on the tip of each ear, or that eating an unpeeled apple invites instant death, her condition may grow as hysterically pitiful as if ehe were a victim of the primitive superstition of the evil eye.—Youth's Companion. Wealthy Insane Patient. The officials of Fergus Falls (Minn.) prison had a curious prisoner m charge the other day in the person of Miss Lois Warwick, 78 years oldd. When the old lady, who had gone suddenly Insane, entered the prison she was clad in rags and seemed povertystricken, but a casual examination of her clothing, resulting in the finding of $480, a diamond ring, two loose aids and another precious stone. 8 this she had A certificate for fs\$ff worth of stock in the Rex crude oA eompany and about $225 in bills. When the matron finally persuaded her,to_cMang.e hftr rlnthlng and go-te bed, she was astonished at the weight of the aged patient's skirt. The brief examination showed that it wai a veritable gold mine. Tier after tier of $10 gold pieces were sewed up in the skirt and in a sort of a sack made for the purpose, and amounted to $7,- 800. Suicides in St. Petersburg. Societies of medical men and others now are being formed to combat the plague of suicides which threatens to become epidemic in St. Petersburg. The other day, for instance, no fewer than eleven cases are recorded in the newspapers. The victims include a policeman, who blew out his brains on the bank of the Ne~a, and a young baron, aged 16. The major* ity belonged to the workirfg class, ;:nd seven were 26 years of age or under. Five poisoned themselves, two shot taen8oIvoayTnie~^a7nrtrt--biB__. throat, another threw himself under a train, and in two cases drowning was the method of self-destruction chosen.

SHY ON PAY FROM THE STRIKE FUND ENDS STRUGGLE. 'he Struggle Was Long and Very Bitter and Involving Six Thousand Workers and Millions of Loss. At a secret masa meeting of the striking furniture workers of Grand Rapkls Thursday night it was voted to call the strike off and return to work. The meeting was held at Powers' theater, and although the result was irot officially announced, it is stated by those in attendance at the meeting that the vote to return to work was alracit unanimous. The strike had been on for 17 weeks and was one of the most determined fights between organized labor and organized employers in the history 0{ ^ e state. For months before the struggle began both the men and the manufacturers were organizing and preparing for a long fight. The men demanded a nine-hour day instead^ of ten, 10 per cent increase rn wages and the recognition of the union. The employers declined to concede any of_the&B_noinlfiT. .setting up tie-claim that it would be impossible to grant an increase in wages until all furniture concerns throughout the country saw fit to make the same advance. The strike involved about 6,000 men, including six unlcus. cabinet makers, trimmers and furniture packers, machine hands, fiuishers, upholsterers and wood carvers. The three former were united as carpenters and joiners. ( When the men struck the impression gained currency that they would receive through the national body about $8 per week strike benefit. Bu* the married men received $5.50 and the single men $4.50 per week. Many of the rhen. sought other positions until at the close only about 3,000 were among the unemployed. Perhaps nearly 4,000 will go»Baek.to work In old positions as the result of last night's vote. The -organization on both sides remained intact until the last and the national body paid about $125,000 In strike benefits During their idleness the men lost three times what the benefits came to, or close to a half million dollars in wages. The losses to the manufacture ers cannot be estimated. It Is millions. # The act of the strikers in calling off the strike was directly due to the fact that the national, body failed to send further strike benefits, it is said. The manufacturers promise their "!d m7"ir)-fH4^r p-iy p°~hi>ftn fff p'fM" ble, about Jan. 1. The workmen call off the strike with the belief that better hcurs and pay will follow the long, fruitless fight. *^ Special Board Spending Lots of Cash. When the last legislature passed the act providing for appointment of a commission to investigate conditions and report at the next assembly suitable legislative action providing compensation for injured workingmen, the lawmakers placed no limit en the amount of money to be expended, and as a result bills of such proportions are being presented as to cause consternation among the state board of auditors. The act makes It mandatory upon the board to audit and allow such claims as are sworn to and duly certified by the chairman or some authorized member of the commission, and unless they absolutely refuse payment, a« in thn onnn nf h]]]*. jni^pT^ ed by Attorneys Barkworth and Kirchner for legal services rendered in the proceedings against the Michigan Central railroad, this investigation may tap the genera] fund to the extent of $50,000 before the next regular session In 1913. State Death Rate Is High for July. According to the mortality report Issued by the secretary of state, there were 3,141 deaths in the state during July. This number corresponds to an annual death rate of 13.0 per 1,000, estimated population. A considerable Increase is noticed in the number of deaths returned for July, as compared with the month of June. By ages there were 648 deaths of Infants under one year of age, 171 deaths of children aged one to fonr years, Inclusive; and 691 deaths of elderly persons aged 65 years and over.

The—state board -of—registration et nurses held a meeting at the capltol and nearly 100 applications for nurses' certificates were received. All but two of these applications were made on diplomas furnished from some training school. Two lone women applied in person, and took the written examination. After January 1, however, all who desire to obtain a state nurse's certificate must take the written examination, as after that date no more certificates will be issued on diplomas granted by any school. From indications the number of nurses who will be entitled to ask a certificate after the new law goes into effect will be diminished to a large extent, as members of the state board of health say that the written examination will be much harder o pass than the examination used by the average school, whose diplomas entitle a person to a state nurse's certificate. /"' School Beys as Forest Wardens. While he is not ^engaged in prosecuting poachers, violators of the fish law, and bringing to justice- officials of railroad companies who fail to properly equip their engines witb spark arresters and other devices calculated to prevent the setting of forest fires, William R. Oates, the game warden, is just now figuring on a plan to conduct a campaign of education on forest, fires in the district schools of the northern counties, In every county in the north there is one or more deputy wardens, but owing to the large expanse.of territory they are obliged to cover'it is impossible for them to know the instant a fire starts, Major Oates proposes to enlist the support of every school boy and have him report^to the teacher of his Bchool the instant he sees a bit of burning brush. The teacher would be required to notify the nearest supervisor and ho ia turn would bring to the scene all the available fire fighters in the community. Favors Union of M. A. C. With U. of M.

NEWS IN BRIEF. Robert A. Taft, eldest son of President Taft, has arrived in Venice.

Every railroad In the United States and Canada will replace its right of way fences with beautiful flowering hedges, if plans of the Railway Gardening association, which opened its fifth annual convention in Chicago, are carried out. The Board of Trade and subsidiary organizations have started a movement for an electric line to be run through Vassar, Caro, Cass City, Bad Axe and have a terminal at Harbor Beach. The third of the series of junket trips of the Wholesalers and Manufacturers' association was made and the towns named were visited by automobiles. All the business men at each city have promised to assist the Saginaw boosting forces in promoting the line. Rep. Norris, of Nebraska, wants the federal government to promote a national congress to draft uniform marriage and divorce laws for all states. He is partly actuated by the Astor-Force engagement. Lynn, Mass., police are now equipped with paper billies.

LIST BILLS KILLED. The Statehouso Bills for Arizona and New Mexico are Passed In Acceptable Form Finally. Congress has been making a general dean up and is now ready to adjourn. The solid Democracy of the house aided by the insurgents on the Republican side, struggled earnestly but ineffectually to over-ride President Taft's veto and of the wool and the farmers' free list bills. On the wool bill, with 23 Republican insurgents joining hands with the Democrats the vote was 227 to 129, five members voting present. On the basis of the total vote cast, the 227 members registered in favor of overriding the president's veto was 14 shy of the necessary two-thirds. On the free list bill with 25 Republican insurgents assisting the majority, the vote was 226 to 127, two members voting present. This vote of 22C in favor of passing the bill over the veto was 11 votes under the necessary two-thirds. Statehood for Arizona and New Mexico now only awaits^tbe-ijeffttnetory approval of President Taft. The Flood-Smith resolution admitting these territories into the union with the judiciary recall feature of the Arizona constitution eliminated to meet the objection which caused President Taft to veto the original statehood bill, was passed by the house without the formality of a roll call. No attempt was made in the house to pass over the president's veto of the original bill, which contained the judiciary recall provision. The resolution was passed after a spirited two hours' debate. Rep. Flood, of Virginia, chairman of the territories committee, declared that the Democrats favored passing the original bill over the president's veto, but knowing such an attempt would be useless, they had decided to take the step that would insure immediate admission of the territories tcr the union. t President Taft signed the,campaign publicity bill, which was sent to the White House after both, bouses ofcongress had accepted the conference agreement. The bill provides for publicity before elections and limits the amount that candidates for senator and representative may spend in their campaigns. The brlkalso extends the publicity features to primary campaigns and nominating conventions. It limits the amount candidates may-spend to $o,- 000 for congressional candidates and_ $10,007) fur senatorial aspirants. <lan-^ didates also are required to make public all pledges of political appointments. The bill, of course, applies only to congressional elections, Congressional. Probe of Business. Rep. Martin Littleton of New York Introduced a bill in the house to create an Industrial and corporate commission to recommend any necessary changes in the laws regulating interstate commerce, The commission will inquire into the Influence and effect of the Sherman anti-trust law, the methods by* which great industrial corporations transact Interstate business, and the growth and development' of such enterprises. The commission will be required to report to congress as ^oon as possible what changes ought to be made to the Sherman law In order to make it conform to presen^ day needs. ^^ Confessed the Crime. A prisoner in the Denver county jail giving the name of Frank M. Wratson, confessed that he with two companions held up the Southern Pacific overland limited at .Reese, Utah, on the night of January 1, when Wm.

Well pleased with the showing made by the fruit market men at Milwaukee, and confident . that the opening of that avenue of, trade to the western Michigan shore will prove of great benefit, nearly 400 business men from Hart, Shelby, Pentwater, New. Era, Muskegon and other towns, have returned home. Milwaukee during the business men's visit, displayed its, desire to get in touch with the west Michigan fruit shore, pointing out that the arrangement will give a chance towards reciprocal trade witt a country as yet hardly opened tc Wisconsin.

He notices a camp llrt! at a dlatance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and at full gallop pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches tho wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches tho victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to himt down the murderers. Keith Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder; his accuser being a ruffian named Black Bart. He goes t o jail fully realising the peril of swift border justice. A companion In his cell is a negro, who tells him he In Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. Neb s a y s one of the murdered men was John Bibley. the other Gen. Willis Walte, formerly an officer in the Confederate army. The plainsman and N e b escape from the cell. CHAPTER VI.—(Continued.) It was the quiet, confident voice of Assured command, of one satisfied wUh Ms plans, and thfionedlent negro* breathing hard, never dreamed of opposition; all instinct of slavery held him to the dominion of this white master. Keith leaned forward, staring at the string of deserted ponies tied to the rail. Success depended on his choice,'and he could judge very little In that darkrtess. Men were straggling In along the street to their right, on foot and horseback, and the saloon on the corner was being well patronized. A glow of light streamed forth from its windows, and there was the sound of many voices. But this narrow alley was deserted, and black. The fugitive stepped boldly forward, afraid that otherwise he might startle -the ponies and thus create an alarm. Guided by a horseman's Instinct he swiftly ran his hands over the animals and made quick selection. —"Here, -Neb, take this fellow; lead (him quietly down the; bank," and he thrust the loosened rein into the black's hand. An instant later he' had chosen his own mount, and was silently moving In the same direction, although the might there was so black that the obedient negro had already entirely (vanished. The slope of the land not only ^helped cover their movements, but also rendered It easy for them to iind one another. Fully a hundred yards westward they met, where a gully led !<nrectiy down toward, the river. There was no longer need for remaining on foot, aB they were_ a sufficient distance away from the little town to feel no tear of being discovered, unless by some drunken straggler. At Keith's command the negro climbed into his caddie. Both ponies were restive, but not vicious, and after a plunge or two, 'to test their new masters, came easily under control. Keith led the way, moving straight down the gully, which gradually deepened, burying them in it* black heart, until it finally defbouched onto the river sands. The riotous noises of th.e drunken town |disd slowly away behind, the night silent and dark. The two riders could scarcely distinguish one another as -jth«r drew rein at the edge of the warterSTo, the southward there gleamed « cluster^©!flights, marking the post- ,tlon of the cTamn^of regulars. Keith [drove hlghorse deeper Jnto the straam- The men could see nothing but this solid sheet of water rushing down toward them from out the black void, and then vanishing below. Once Keith's horse half fell, plunging nose under, yet gaining foothold again before the rider had deserted his saddle. A dim darkness ahead already revealed the nearness of the southern bank, when Neb'B pony went down suddenly, swept fairly off its legs by some fierce eddy in the stream. Keith heard the negro's guttural cry, and caught a glimpse of him as the two were sent whirling down. The coiled rope of the lariat, grasped In his right hand, was hurled forth like a shot, but came back empty. " Not another sound reached him; his own horse went Bteadily on, feeling his way, until he was nose against the bank, with water merely rippling about his ankles. Keith driving feet again into the Btlrrups headed him down stream, wading close in toward the-shorerieanlng forward over the pommel striving to Bee through the gloom. He had no doubt about Neb's pony making land, unless struck by some driftwood, or borne to the center of the stream by the shifting force of the current. But if Neb had failed to retain his grip he might have been sucked under by the surge of waters. A hundred yards below he found them, dripping and weak from the struggle, yet otherwise unhurt. There were no "A hundred and fifty miles as the crow flies, and sand all the way, except for the valley of Salt Fork. Come on now, and keep close, for it's easy to get lost in these sand hills." Keith had ridden that hundred and fifty miles of sandy desolation before, but had never been called upon to make such a journey as this proved to be. He knew there was little to fear from human enemies, for they were riding far enough east of the Santa Fe trail to be out of the path of raiding parties, while this desert, country was shunned by Indian hunters. It consisted of sand hill after sand hill, a drear waterless waste, where nothing grew, and mid the dread sameness of which a traveler could only find passage by the guidance of stars at night or the blazing sun by day. They had covered ten miles of It by daybreak, their ponies traveling heavily, fetlock deep, but could advance no further; "With the first tint of rose in the east the brooding storm burst upon them in wild desert fury, the fierce wind buffeting them back, lashing their faces with sharp grit until they were unable to bear the pain. The flying sand smote them in clouds, driven with the speed of bullets, in vain they lay flat, urging their ponies forward; the beasts, maddened and blinded by the merciless lashing of the sand, refused to face the storm. Keith, all sense of direction long since lost, V - and headed northward, the negro fol- {lowing like a shadow. There was a ford directly opposite Ithe cantonment, and another, more dangerous, and known to only a few, three miles farther up stream. Keeping well within the water's edge, so a s to thus completely obscure, their (trail, yet not daring to venture deep for sear of striking quicksand, the plains* man set his pony struggling forward, until the dim' outline of the bank at fcis right rendered him confident that they had attained the proper point for crossing. He had been that way only once before, and realised the danger of attempting passage in inch darkness, hut urgent need drove him forward. ritoUowta* just as dose as you can, boy,H'he saM sternly, -and keep both your feet out of the stirrups. If your horse? goes down hang to hts tail, and let him swim out" There was little enough to guide by, merely a single faint star peering out from a rift of the clouds, but Keith's remembrance was that the ford led straight out to the center of the stream, and then veered slightly toward the right He knew the sand ridge was only used-by horsemen, not being wide enough for tho safe passage of wagons, but the depth of the water on either side was entirely problematical. He was taking a big chance, yet dare not wait for daylight euafflccOng all his nerve and alertness, he urged his horse slowly forward, the intelligent animal seemingly comprehending the situation, and feeling carefully for footing. The actions of, the animal gave the rider greater corifidence, and he loosened bis; grip on the rein, leaving the pony's testffict to control. The Utter fairly crept forward, testing the sand befovsresting any weight upon the"hoof,. the negro's mount following closely. The water was unusually high, end-as they advanced it bore down against them i n considerable volume; then, as they veered to the right, they were compelled jar mull rtimuii ssafnsi it* iwasa5B»..ss hausted that their riders finally dismounted, and staggered forward on foot, leading them stumbling blindly after. Once the negro's horse dropped, and had to be lashed to its feet again; once Keith's pony stumbled and fell on him, hurling him face down into the sand, and be would have died there, lacking sufficient strength to lift the dead weight, but for Neb's assistance. As it was he went staggering blindly forward, bruised, and faint from hunger and fatigue. About them night finally closed in, black and starless, yet fortunately with a gradual dying away of the storm. For an hour past they had been struggling on, doubting their direction, wondering dully if they were not lost and merely drifting about in a circle. They had debated this fiercely once, the ponies standing dejectedly^ tails, to the storm, Neb arguing that the wind still btew from- the south, and Keith contending it had shifted into the westward. The white man won his way, and they Staggered on uncertain, the negro grasping the first pony's tail to keep from being separated from his companion. Some instinct of the plains must have guided them, for at last they dragged themselves out from the desert, the crunching sand under foot changing into rock, and then to short brittle grass, at which the ponies nibbled eagerly. The slope led gradually downward, the animals scenting water, and struggling to break away. Swaying in their saddles, the riders let them go, and they never stopped until belly deep in the stream, their noses buried. The men shivered in their saddles, until, at last satisfied, the ponies consented to be forced back up the ba.uk, where they nibbled at the short tufts of herbage, but in a manner expressive of weariness. Keith flung himself on the ground, every muscle of his body aching, his exposed flesh still smarting from the hail of sand. He bad not the slightest conception as to where they were, except he knew this must be the Salt Fork. Utterly confused by the maze of shifting dunes, through whose intricacies they had somehow found passage, the blackness of the night yielded no ciue as to their point uf mergence.

The wind was rising, hurling clouds of sand into their eyee, and the plainsman held one hand before his face. There's no need of keeping up a water trail any longer," he said quietly. ?By all the signs we're in for a send storm by daylight, and that will cover our tracks so the devil himself couldn't follow them. Qot a water bag on your saddle. /1 reck'n dis am one, pah." Keith felt of the object Neb held forth. • T e e , and a big* one, too; flu it and strap it on tight; we've got a long, dry ride ahead.''

With their hands and feet they made a slight wind-break, dragging the struggling ponies into its protection, and burrowed themselves there, the clouds of sand skurrying over them so thick as to obscure the sky, and: rapidly burying them altogether ss though in a grave. Within, an hour they were compelled to dig themselves out yet it proved partial escape from the pitiless lashing. The wind howled like unloosed demons, and the air grew colds adding to the sting of the' grit, when some, sudden eddy hurled it into their hiding place. To endeavor further travel would mean certain death, for no one could have guided a course for a hundred feet through the tempest It was three o'clock before It died sufficiently down for them to venture out Even then tho air remained full of sand, while constantly shifting ridges made travel difficult Only grim necessity—the suffering of the ponies for water, and their own need for soon reaching the habitation of man and acquiring food—drove them to the oarly venture. They must at> tain the valley of the Salt Fork that night or else perish la the desertthere remained no other choice. Tying neckerchiefs over their horses' •yes, and Tying flat themselves, they sucoeeded in pressing slowly forward; winding In and out among the shift* tog dunes, with only tho wind to guide thorn. It was an awful trail, the hoofs mattttlng sand, the nonfeg tesjoatf&f;7** e» ume of water in the stream alone suggested that in their wanderings they must have drifted to the eastward, and come out much lower down than had been originally intended. If so, then they might be almost directly south of Carson City, and In a section with which he was totally unacquainted. One thing was, however, certain —they would bo compelled to wait for dayllght -to~7a"scertain the^TruTh," and decide upon their future movements. Keith arose reluctantly, and removed the saddles from the animals, hobbling them so they could graze at will. Neb was propped up beneath an out-cropping of the bank, which partly protected him from the wind, a mere hulk of a shadow. Keith could not tell whether he slept or not, but made no effort to disturb him. A moment he stared vacantly about into the black silence, and then lay down, pll- Tho m a n sat on his wide piazz a , in his overcoatj H e ~ s a t d : " T h i s w e a t h e r s u r e h a s fraa- Zled me and got my goat.

An Oxford sire Is as good as can be found for cross breeding and a fine mutton type. The- ewes are very hardy, very prolific, are fine mothers and seldom ever have any trouble In lambing season. They are very quiet and gentle with their lambs, have an immense amount of milk, and the ewes never refuse to own their iambs. The rams at two years of age often weigh 800 pounds.

By so doing we save very largely in the number of lambs raised. Pure water and salt should oe kept by the ewes and Lambs In winter as well as in summer. If sheep and lambs are properly fed and watered and their feet kept dry we have gone a long way in properly caring for them.

Mary's annnal pvnic came offas announced Tneeday at Jackson's Grove and the day was a fine one for tbe event. Tbe rain the night before laid the dust and made everytbingclean and fresb. The big dinner at noon was as usual up to the -high standard tor which this picnic is noted. The speeches with A. D. Thompson of Howell as toastmaster tor the occasion- and James Green of Howell and Senator James Lee of Detroit were called upon each giving an interesting talk that was enthusiastically cheered at the close of his remarks. Mr. Lee briefly explained some ot the new legislative acts, and principally the new mortgage tax law. The North Lake Bund was on the job all of the time and kept everyone in a happy mood with their fine playing. There was over 700 meal tickets sold and probably many more would bave been disposed of if they all bad arrived in time for dinner. *A)1 in all tbe picnic *as a grand success and netted tbe society about $412.00 clear. The final wind-up »of tbe big day was tbe ball-game between Pinckney and Fowlerville and was as follows: In some respects the game was a disappointment. It was expected that the Stockbridge team would be Pinchney's opponents but they refused to come on tbe grounds tbe remuneration was not sufficient. Tbjs--seem& from the Pinckney stand point to be a lame excuse as tbe money offered was the same amoant tb«£ &&m paid) Pinckney for . fc»r appearance both times in the/S'ner town this year. it does not seem that the Stockbridge players are afraid to give Pinckney a return game this year but it certainly looks that way to a "man up a Pinckney tree." ' The Fowlerville management agreed toaend aiewoa/to play here but owing to tbe short notice were unable to send their regular line-up, and drew on Howell and Stockbridge to fill the vacancies. Tbe battery was Standiih and Barry of Stockbridge and they sure received a warm reception. Standisb was batted out of box. Bravender of Fowler* ville taking tbe mound in the seventh inning.

Several times tbe visitors occupied Bases hut Ledwidge always tightened at tbe right time and prevented any scoring bv tbe visitors.

MILLER HERE are all Borts or camps, from the hasty voyageuer bivouac of the big-game hunter to the berene summer retreat when one invites his soul to ease In Nature's Lotus-land—that "place where It seemed always afternoon." Indeed, 1 think that the quintessence of camping is reached when one knows the game thoroughly enough to be able to draw from Nature alone all the comforts that civilization affords, In addition to the thousand Joys which no civilization can give. It Is tar easier to do this than one would suppose, for the reason that most of the drawbacks of camp life come from neglect of simple cleanliness and ordinary bodily comforts, such as homo -sapiens has become accustomed to from his cradle. The subject of camping Is really so vast that it cannot be even approached in a single article. It strikes at the very roots of life. At its best It holds up a mirror to us all, showing how far civilization and overpopulation have combined to separate us from the easy formula of life which the Creator Intended; bow they have driven thousands to starvation within a stone's throw of the fabulously rich, whereas Nature gave every man the equal strength of his own two hands, which were once ample to win him livelihood and happiness. When one is after traveling game, or on a canoe .trip, or such nomadic camp life, the less of everything taken along the better. A good sleeping bag Is preferable to a tent; a single skillet will provide the utensil to cook with; and rifle, hatchet and knife are really all the necessities that can be mentioned. I even once went on a camp where I took nothing along, except a notebook and two sheets of blank music paper. A bully tramp over the mountains it was, too, and I slept in piles of leaves raked up in dry ravines that were already filled a solid foot deep with dry leaves. I had on a canvas hunting Suit, slouch hat, and gaiters. In the shooting-coat pockets were a Dutch welnerwurst, half a dozen hardtacks, three potatoes, and a hunk of bacon. In the ditty-bag, without which I never take any trip, were little primer-boxes filled with butter, salt, tea and sugar, and there were also a variety of hooks and lines, a steel 'poesom book and a pickerel hook for frogging. It was the only tramp In which I had no Itinerary, > hadn't any idea of getting anywhere, and could stop whenever and as long as I pleased. I think I was all one afternoon going two miles around the flank of one mountain, down into a ravine and up the brook to the spring, where I camped for the night. I was gone two days; bagged most of the species of trees of the middle states east of the Appalachians in the notebook, and scrawled the music-sheets so full of wriggly black notes that the publisher got cross-eyed trying to read the copy. Such a camp-tramp cannot last more than two days, or you are apt to spend the night hugging a tree, while the rain deluges everything throughout the woods. For the light week-end camps, or fishing trips not lasting over ten days, 1 always take a small tent But the acme of camp life is to arrange to spend the whole summer out of doors, beside some favorite lake or river. To most of us this must be somewhere within commuting dis- ,tance of some large city. To a few . It 'is given to be able to live thus in a good game country, leaving the business cares for the winter months. It la this kind of camp of which I wish particularly to speak, for it is an ideal life. At a matter of fact, the bungalow In the woods should be the cleaner and nattier of the two..

JOHN W. 6ATES DEAD, John W. Gates, the American financier, died in Paris in the arms of his wife and his son, Charles G. Gates. The end was peaceful, and it seemed as though he was falling asleep. The usual restoratives failed in the last criBls. Others present at the bedside besides the members of the family were Doctors Gros and Reeves. THE MARKETS A floor space of 8 by 14 feet is ample for a bungalow of this kind, with a gambrel roof as shown in the illustration. It will have a door in each end, a window at each side; doors and windows made of gauze tacked on the same framning as the main panels, canvas awnings and porches over doors, and a stone floor. To build it will have to bring MVK STOCK. DETROIT—Cattle: Good grades are steady and common dull ut last w'tek'a prices.

Not a very heavy layout of either money or material, say, $25 all told, and yet it - ill give you a start for a permanent bungalow that you can always come back to with Increasing affection. On arriving at your site, the first thing to do is to pitch your tents, select the very best site your ground affords for the shack, clear a little space to make panels in, and saw your pine up into the right lengths. You will need 12 panels 7 feet by 36 inches for the sides, and four panels 16 feet by 36 inches for the roof. Get out the walls first. They are quickly and strongly joined by driving In half-inch corrugated iron fasteners, which are driven across the Joints with a hammer, sinking them flush with the surface of the wood, tn this way the whole 12 can be quickly and strongly knocked together. Tack the roofing material to the bacKs or the panels as fast as completed, as they are very wobbly and weak sideways without the material. This latter is gray in color with a leathery surface, and in each roll comes the needful nails and cement for joints, tin caps, etc. Space the nails about three inches and run the cement ahead as you nail. The hardware for this house will be two dozen stout iron hooks-and-eyes for the corners, and two dozen three-inch iron flat hlngea for doors, windows and roof panels. Both hinges and nallB are best galvanized. Haying the 12 panels to hand, the next step will be to nail a strip of pine 14 feet long to the top and bottom of each four panels, making two side* of four panels" each, with a 2- foot window epsce In the middle of each. In the same -way the two ends are assembled with stripe of pine eight feet long, nailed to top and bottom of two panels with a 2-foot door space in between. They are now ready to raise up, but first a foundation must be prepared, and the aim* plest thing in the woods is to drive In four 3-inch stakes about three feet long around all four sides, having two stakes at each corner. Saw them all off flat toy* string run ail around and leveled at, say eight Inches above the soil. On these the panels can be set up and hooked at the corners, nails being driven down through the footstrip Into the posts. To make the corners stanch and tight, three cleats should be nailed to one of the panels, giving something for the hooks to pull against There will he cracks at the corners and joints, and to protect these from the weather and at the same time guard against the inevitable warping, of the joist in the weather, yon had heat hunt up straight 4- inch spruce or cedar saplings and fiatten the backs true and set them up in front of toe cracks, securing the pan* els to them wtth nails driven from the Inside. The roof panels come next, 16 feet long by approximately 86 Inches wide, a lap bejog left over as shown in the detail of the roof-Joints, so as to leave no place for the rain to work in. There are IS hinges, four at each Joint, and the frame U dtagonaltd as with ihe wall panel*. To get the roof on, lift It a* on the walls, raise the ridge until about a foot of eave overhangs at the sides, and nail light SftpOags to the ends to held the gaabftl la Iti fTwpe* joaltto* while the gable ends are measured and made. After putting them in position, the saplings can be knocked away and the weight of the roof allowed toi come on the gables. Hooks will be needed at the eaves to utilize the top wall-strip as a tie. The doors are made Just enough smaller than the opening to permit a sill and lintel of 4iemlock to be nailed in the doorway. They are covered on the inside with gauze or bobbinet, tacked to the frames with galvanized tacks. The windows are made In the same fashion except that the lower three feet Is filled In with a solid panel of roofing material and a similar piece let in up above to permit the window to swing clear of the eaves. After swinging the door and-window awnings with "rustic" frames cut in the woods, the bouse is ready for occupancy except for the floor. It Is worth while to take along a can of the powder of some good cold-water paint, so as to finish off the woodwork of the panels. The easiest floor to make In the woods is to choose some lazy afternoon when everyone is tired of fishing and floor the whole of it with flat stones taken from the natural rock of the forest Though the three-foot window wainscot permits four cots to be arranged along the sides of the shack, I prefer this space for living room, and sky the bedB Pullman car fashion, just a little under the roof. The easiest way to do it is to cut two straight four- Inch hemlocks, trim, and gain to posts set upright from the floor to ceiling against the front and rear walls. They thus make a sort of rustic inside doorjamb, so do not take any useful room, while the berths can be made In the space behind the four-inch log by tacking across ten-ounce duck with 20-ounce galvanized iron tacks, spaced three Inches apart. A spreader is let In at the middle, thus making two sixfoot berths on a side. They are filled with several inches of balsam browse and are then ready for the sleeping bags. The whole floor space is, by this arrangement of sleeping accommodations, available for living room; canvas camp chairs, log tables, etc.. can be put In and one has a comfortable lounging and eating room (in bad weather). Such a bungalow, of course, has no fire any more than any summer cottage or seaside bungalow has, but while a canvas tent seems to have a fatal way of getting cold after the sun goes down, the bungalow will hold its heat so as to never have the damp chill of the forest in i t The principal use of such a woodland shack is In the promotion of what Doctor Van Dyke has aptly named "days off." Without It many a holiday, especially the combination ones occurring on Thursday or Friday, when Saturday and Sunday are thrown in for good measure, are wasted because one feels more or less unprepared and disinclined to break a new trail for so short a time. But If it is merely a matter of packing some provisions and the sleeping kit whistling up the "pups," and taking a train to the nearest Jumping-off place in the vicinity of "Loafers' Glory," or whatever you have named the shack, you will get out of it many a pleasant little outing, each one a diamond-point in your memories. The beauty of making some sort of s beginning for a forest home Is that each year it gets better and more serviceable as you return to It year after year for your aumjner EAST BUFFALO—Cattle: Best 1,400 to 1,600-lb steers, *6.75@7.25; good prime 1,300 to 1,400-lb steers, *6.5o@7; good prime 1,200 to 1,300-lb steers, $6.25 @6.35; best 1,100 to 1,200-11) shipping steers, $5.05(^8.25; medium butchers' steers, 1,000 to 1,100 lbs, $5.25@5.75; light butcher steers. $4.75@u.25; best fat cows. $4.75(^5.25; fair to good fat cows, $3.50®4.25; common to medium fat cows, $2.75^3.25; trimmers, $1.75@ 2.75; best fat heifers, $5.75@6; good fat heifers, $5@5.40; fair to good tat heifers, $4.25@ ^.85: stock heifers', $3.25® 3.50; best feeding steers, dehorned, $4.25@4.50; common feeding steers, dehorned, $3,25& 3.30; beat butcher and export bulls, $4.50@5; bologrna bulls, $3.50@>4; stock bulls, $3@3.25; best milkers and sprlnjrers, $5l)®55; common to good, $20@30.

Special charts just prepared by the United Statesv weather bureau show that this has been the hottest summer on record In the United Statos and that the great heat waves reported in Paris and Rome are pretty clo3e to the highest records in Europe. While in spots higher temperatures have been recorded both here and abroad, the best obtainable worlu's records show that there havte never been before, since the first days of weather investigations, such a large area and protracted period noted. Moreover, the new charts show that the heat waves this year have been playing unheard of pranks, and while it has not been unusually hot in most southern districts, the heat waveB have gone further north than ever before, extreme conditions being reported from as far north as Alaska. So far as the United States is concerned, the available records*, covering a period of 40 years, show that the year 1901 only approached the season just passed. Want Diaz Again. Gen.

The tfirst regular organised summer school of practical agriculture Was opened at the Michigan Agricultural (college June, 1911, aad continued throughout the ensuing'four weeks. This course la Intended to train the hands properly so far as thae proper performance of ordinary iar.ni work is concerned. No formal lectures were cgiven, but each student was shown how to properly perform auch operations as follows, under tins direction of a competent Instructor, Tiz: Fitting and operating of haying and iharvest-, Ing tools and machinery, Ihe same betng^^^ nrttfe xase~6f all' implements involved in the cultivation -of farm and horticultural crops. .Each student was required to take part in every operation involved in farm drainage, the same being true in fencing. In addition to this, training w-afl :gtvBn :in the feeding, care and management of poultry, hogs, sheep, beef cattle, dairy cattle and horses. In fact the student was required to put the-hand to every operation in progress at this season of ttfe year. Great care was exercised In the direction given. A student tent to mow out fence corners with a Bcythe was required first to grind and whet the scythe, and was then instructed how to take hold properly, swing and do the work easiest and moat efficiently. RULES for Extermination of Weeds By DR. W.J. BEAL 1. The right kind of a man, who will carefully observe and study the kinds of weeds and their habits, fighting each to the best advantage, 1. e., with method. 2. See that all <seetfs purchased or grown at home for seed are free from seeds of weeds. Although often heard, these words are too tittle heeded. 3. See that threshing machines, lhay racks, grain bags from other farms are well cleaned before used on the farm. 4. Cook or grind screenings and burn chaff when certain weeds are suspected. "B. Send seeds to the * agricultural (College, East Lansing, for Identification, unless they are known to %e bsnnless. 6. Strive to prevent weeds from •ripening seeds. This Is especially Important late in the season in ease of all pigweeds', purslane and otters ifheW the flasters are ray, small and an* liable to b% overlooked and the ewiW Ttpsa^teftoN* their presence la en4pected.'

An investigation a year or ncvre ego Showed that 65 per cent, of t .a young men enrolled in the agricultural and forestry courses came from the Tillages, towns and cities. The reguIaragrlcuTfcuiBl course presents an abundance of practical work not usuaUy acquired on the farm, such as blacksmlthing, carpentry, operation of engines and farm machinery, as well as farm construction, including concrete work such as construction of foundations, walk*, tanks, troughs, posts, etc. In addition to this the student is given work in installation of water systems, pipe fitting, plumbingr building designs and planning of-farm conveniences generally, a great extent the best mode of fighting it. Certain remedies suggest themselves for trreeping perennials, like quack grass and toad flax, while different treatment is best for narrowleaved dock; and still a different mode of attack may be adopted for crab grass and purslane. Weeds are annuals, as pigweeds, crab grass, purslane; biennials as bull thistle and mulleins; -perennials, like quack grass, Canada thistle, ox-eye Daisy. Will It pay? The annual cost of successfully fighting -a weedy farm of 100 acres in Ontario has been found to be about $75. Good cultivation in the long run pays a greater profit than slipshod culture. Ttircrt only kills the weeds, but keeps the soil in condition for securing good crops. It conserves moisture. Perennial plants cannot gain any If the green leaves are -not allowed to appear. The nourishment stored In the root stocks underground will aid the plant to send up slender leaves and if these remain, the plants gain and recruit, but If the leases start underground and are cut off "before com* tog to the light, these root stocks are drawn on again to furnish food to start more leaves and tSraa. in time, become exhausted.

TO BE GREATER THAN EVER. Preparations for Big Event Going Forward on Gigantic Scale—It is 72 Years Since First State Fair Was Held. "Greater and grander than ever before." This is the slogan that has been adopted by the Michigan State Fair management for the sixty-second annual exhibition to be held on the magnificent grounds of the Michigan State Agricultural Society at Detroit, September 18 to 27, 1911, and if excellence, diversity, quality and quantity of exhibits, and entertainment features that are new, novel and startling, suited to all tastes and requirements, can bring out the crowds, there will be no doubt about the attendance. been years when no fair was held, and it has camped in many places, but not until the public spirited citizens of Detroit gave It a permanent home, assumed its debts and provided funds; for Its sustenance' and maintenance was it ever really a success, and this Is said with all praise for the men who labored so faithfully these long years against great odds and adverse conditions to make It pay financially. They were not lacking in energy. They, were simply confronted with conditions they could not overcome, all of which have been successfully met here. " The first State Fair of Michigan was held at Ann Arbor, October 1, 1839. Twenty head of animals, both I cattle and sheep, the proud exhibits of Henry Raymond, a Grosse He farmer, and specimens of cheese and butter from a Mr. Tibbits, of Plymouth, constituted the first exhibition of the agricultural and horticultural fair of Michigan in that year. No prepara- ( tion^ whatever had been made, no officers of the Institution could be found, and not half a dozen persons in Ann Arbor had heard that such a fair was to be held. There was no fair grounds designated; but on the appointed day the two exhibitors drove thirty miles to have the show, and put in an appearance on a vacant lot, commenced holding the State Fair and soon drew quite a respectable crowd. The good people of the village voted thanks to the exhibitors A WALKING SKELETON. A Street Leading t e the Grand Stand at the State Fair. A Permanent Institution. The Michigan State Fair has become a permanent institution, located greatest fair in the United States has been the goal of the management, and J tage of metropolitan shopping President Thomas E. Newton Is fully1 ^ ^ 8 ara •*"* w ""1 '"1 } satisfied that this ambition will be reached to Milan d the exhibitors themselves felt quite proud of that "State Fair." On returning home, Raymond addressed the president of the society, on a magnificent site, comprising 1 8 6 ^ ^ 0 0 .

Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been expended on grounds and buildings with a view io permanency, and each year aome substantial structure ox structure* axe added to the group as a whole, to meet the growing requirements of a great agricultural, horticultural, educational and industrial exposition, wherein can be displayed the products of the farms and factories of a great state—or of several states. Last year t i e society erected, at an expense of $50,000, a building for the display of automobiles and accessories, that is 125x820 feet. For the coming fair every inch of the 34,000 square fee4 on the ground floor will be occupied by automobile manufacturers with the latest designs of machines, including many 1912 models, while the second floor will be occupied by manufacturers of auto accessories, electrical appliances, etc. There is eveTy prospect that the coming State Fair will in every respect, and by far, eclipse any event of like character ever held in Michigan, if not any state in the union. To have the reputation of holding the ing what had gone wrong, and why no officials of the association appeared at Ann Arbor. President Biddlj politely and regretfully informed Farmer Raymond that the whole thing had entirely escaped his memory until the "day after the fair." And so the State Fair had its inception. Would that its founders might visit the fatr of today. Fair is Agricultural ki Foundation and Purpose^ — The Michigan State Fair is agricultural In foundation and in Its purpose. It should always remain so. This is because it is an invaluable benefit to the farmer. The Detroit Journal In a recent issue said editorially: "The Fair offers the place where the farmer can display his most nignly developed products. PeThaps a man has spent his life In some special line. Where shall he make* known his success? Where shall If. be made profitable to him? A t / t h e State Fair. Where shall he compare his ^success with that of others? Where shall he find whether he is leading of falling behind? Only at the State Fair. "The agriculturalist sees new machinery at this annual exposition. He secures hints and information of all kinds. The country women, by visits to the fair and trips about the city return home with new ideas for home comforts. The family has the ad van These are the practical benefits. In addition the fair offers many farmers their greatest excursion trip. Worn Out and Prostrated with Terrible Kidney Trouble. Mrs. Margaret Cook, North Market St., Logan, Ohio; says: "H is almost impossible to describe my sufferings. My back ached constantly and so awful was, the bearingdown pain that I could scarcely drag myself about. Kidney secretions were in terrible condition and pains through my head were so intense I could scarcely r e f r a i n from screaming. I could not sleep, was nervous and lost flesh so rapidly I looked like a walking skeleton. I doctored all the time but had begun to think there was no help for me. Then I began taking Doan'a Kidney pills and was entirely cured. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me a hew lease of life." Remember the name—Doan's. For Bale by druggists and general storekeepers everywhere.

Calabashes are used also for bowls, basins and jugs for carrying water from the river, while the small ones make- excellent cups. In the afternoon, when she is ready fpr her cup of tea, the negress picks half a dozen leaves from the lime bush growing at her door, boils them, squeezes the juice from a sugar cane for sweetening and the cocoanut supplies the milk. Thns she has a delicious cup of tea without depending on the grocer for it.

"1 have a friend who just about believes the Lord created the earth in seven days for his especial benefit. He has a fine home on Long Island, with a retinue of servants, but his wife is a semi-invalid, and it falls to the lot of Mr. Pompous to execute various commissions for her in the city. The other day she asked him to stop at a clothing store and get axcouple of white duck Jackets for the butler, I happened to be with him when he entered the store. Striding majestically up to a sallow little salesman, he suld, with much impressive dignity: 14 'I wish to purchase a couple of white waiter's coats.' " 'Yes, sir.' said the little salesman, 'What size do»you wear?' "Mr. Pompous got red in the face, spluttered and gurgled, and then as i i fearing to trust himself to speech turn ed on his heel and strode from the place. He left me at the next corner and has avoided me ever since."—New York Sun. An Experience at Hull House. Even death itself sometimes fails to Aring the dignity and serenity which one would fain associate with old age. I recall the dying hour of one old Scotchwoman whose long struggle to "keep respectable" had so embittered her that her last words were gibes for those who were trying to minister to her. "So you came in yourself this morning, did you ? You only sent things yesterday. I guess you knew when the doctor was coming. Don't try to warm my feet with anything but that old jacket that I've got there; it belonged to my boy who was drowned nigh thirty—yeacs-agOr-bat-lt'A warmer yet with human feelings than any of your confounded charity hot water bottles." Suddenly the harsh gasping voice was stilled in death, and 1 awaited the doctor's coming, shaken and horrified,—Jane Addams in American Magazine. Empty Titles. William Jennings Bryan once joked about our American fondness for titles. "You all know of the colonel," he Baid, "who got bis title by inheritance, having married Colonel Brown's widow? But I once met a general who got .his title neither by inheritance, nor by service, nor by anything you could mention. i "'General,' I said to him, 'how do you come by this title of yours, anyway?' " 'Why, sir,' said he, 'I passed my youth in the flour trade and for twenty- eeven years was a general miller.' "I know another titled man, Judge Greene. " 'Are you, sir,' I once asked him, 'a United States judge or a circuit court judge?' " 'I ain't neither/ he replied. T i n a judge of hoss racin'.' " Faar. Fear causes more disease than do microbes, more deaths than famine, more failures than panics. It costs more than war, is always a failure and is never necessary, said a medical man. Fear weaken's the heart's action, induces congestion, invites indigestion, produces poison through decomposing foods and is thus the mother of autopoisoning, which either directly causes or greatly aids In the production of quite 90 per cent of all our diseases.

Jt is an odd fact that of the English actors knighted all but one had first to legalize tbe names under which they had won fame. The question arose with tbe first proposition to confer knighthood on a gypsy. It would be absurd so to honor one John Henry Brodribb. Yet legally no such person as "Henry Irving" existed. No «uch obstacle had to be overcome when, on the occasion of Victoria's diampnd Jubilee, Squire Bancroft knelt before his queen and arose sir squire. I$6w~ ever, the three actors knighted by King Edward bore cognomens of\heir -own invention. Sir Charles Wyndha* was born Culver well, and Sir John Hare, Fairs.

The Old English Prize Ring. In the latter days of the English prize ring innumerable expedients had to be devised to bring off a fight. A favorite plan was to pitch theridg on the borders of two counties, so that the question of magisterial Jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. ' Another plan was to charter a steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For the memorable contest between Sayers and Heenan in 1600 a special train was run from London bridge to a secret destination. But the passengers, wfio comprised members of parliament, peers, pickpockets, pugilists, clergy and, it is said, a few bishops, cheerfully took tickets simply marked "excursion." They presently found themselves near Famborough. in Surrey, where the fight occurred.—London Chronicle. Original of Falstaff. Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the Jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he showed great cowardice. When ,Cade was yet some way off Fastolf had armed and fortified his bouse and garrisoned it with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade, however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neighbors to the mercy of the rebels. Fastolf s matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpopularity, for, having married a widow named Scrope, be seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheritance during his own lifetime.—London News. «"^^^^ssssssssssssee»«Mw ••• n i "Great Expectations."

Which It another way of breaking heat rtcofcls." *" "*~ Lansing—In a bulletin which will be issued within a few days by the Michigan dairy and food department, Commissioner G. M. Dame gives some valuable advice and suggestions on the care of milk In hot weather as follows: "The abnormal hot weather in the summer of 1911 has already caused the loss of thousands of dollars to the city milk producer and condensery patrons on account of sour milk. In addition the housewife has suffered the loss of milk and the anxiety of infantile diseases from the same source. The milk distributor Is likewise a sufferer from the same causes. It is the purpose of this article to point out how these losses might be avoided. The responsibility does not lie with any one class; ignorance and neglect or all combined make these losses possible. "Let us get down to the fundamental principles as i o the xauses -of sour milk. Sour milk is^caused, to be plain, by dirt and warmth. "In the University of Michigan can be found a sample of milk ten years old which is still sweet. How was this brought about? The milk was absolutely clean. First, tbe cow's udder and teats were washed clean with a disinfecting solution. Next, the milk pail and milker's hands were likewise treated, also his clothing. The milk was placed in a sterilized glass jar and hermetically sealed...„&&&._._so. will keep an Indefinite period. How can we explain this? It has been Tbuhd that sour milk is caused by certain bacteria which are on the cow's hair, on the teats and udder and on the milker's hands and clothes, in the -dust in the airy i n fact, they cllng^to all substances. When they fall Into the milk they begin to breed_and develop lactic acid which sours the milk. The more dirt that gets in the milk the more bacteria gets in. The more bacteria gets in the Quicker the milk will sour. It Is necessary, however, for milk to be warm. The warmer the milk the quicker bacteria will multiply and the quicker the milk will sour. Kept under 45 degrees mllk-JKilLjnot Holiness Camp Meeting Closes. Tbe Michigan State Holiness Campmeeting association closed Its twenty- \ sixth annual meeting, the big tabernacle being crowded with people to hear a strong sermon by Dr. H. C. Morrison of Louisville, Ry. The program of th.e last day of the meeting opened with a prayer service at six o'clock, and at 10 o'clock there was a large congregation at the.tabernacle, when Dr. H. C Morrison, tbe southern: evangelist, opened the. fore? noon services, and by that hour the"} big park was swarming with people in addition to those who were attending the tabernacle services. All through tbe day there were services of one kind or another in progress at the tabernacle and the Epworth chapel, and again the gospel wagon from Lansing did good service in providing interesting speakers for overflow meetings in the park, and even at that all the people who wanted to, were not able to get near enough to the speakers to catch all that was said. The singing at the gospel wagon was a very interesting feature of the overflow meetings, and it was greatly enjoyed by hundreds of camptneeting visitors. The association's election of officers resulted in the re-election of Rev. M. M. Collen of Ionia, president; Rev. George A. Brown of Battle Creek, secretary, and M. D. Crawford of Eaton Rapids, treasurer. Secretary Brown and President Collen will remain at the grounds for a day or two in order to settle up the affairs of the association for this year's meeting. Extensive Improvements are contemplated on the grounds before the meeting of 1912.

Sattler of the Michigan Good Roads' association of Jackson states the state highway department has offered to build samples of the different kinds of state reward roads for the delegates at the coming meeting at Lansing, August 31 and September 1 to inspect. While the speakers have not yet been secured, an effort will be made to engage such men as L. W. Page, good roads specialist from the agricultural department at Washington; N. P. Hull, master of the Btate grange; State Highway Commissioner Ely, ex-State Highway Commissioner Earle, President Brown of the State Automobile association, and a representative of the Detroit Association of Automobile Manufacturers. A campaign is being planned for the betterment of public highways in Michigan. Competent road builders will be sent into every county, city and village to organize associations to build good roads, asking each merchant to pledge a certain amount for every mile of good road built within ten miles of his store; to secure a similar pledge from every automobile owner and also from rural mail carriers. It is figured that by this method good roads can be built so the farmer will have to pay only about 20 per cent of the cost, the balance being paid by the state award and by the State Good Roads' association. After Reduction of Fire Hazards. In reports covering June and July, H. A. Wolff, assistant state fire marshal, Informs his chief. Insurance Commislsoner Palmer, that in every city he has visited on trips of inspection he has found many dilapidated frame buildings and tumble-down sheds 'which are a menace to sur- | rounding property and which should becleaned up and repaired or removed. He also states that In most of these cities gasoline and other explosive materials are handled very carelessly and adds that he hopes the regulations the department is promulgating will bring *bout Improved, conditions relative to the inflammable materials. During June he inspected and issued orders relative to improving fire menace conditions in Muskegon, Yp~ silantl, Ann Arbor, Grand Haven* Spring Lake, Lansing, and In July he examined 154 frame buildings in various cities, including Manistee, Cheboygan, Grand Rapids, Reed City, with second trips through Lansing*. Manistee and Cheboygan. In these visits the aslsstant marshal states that he has received cordial co-opeTatlon from the local fire authorities. He adds that judging by conditions as he has found them, the appropriation available had better be spent in bringing about reforms to prevent fire rather than in Investigating alleged Incendiary fires.

The snow may fly and prices may soar but there will be no shrinkage of tbe prison menu and canned fruits and berries will be the continual gastronomic delights. This epicurean dream will be made possible the last of this month when operations commence in the warden's small canning factory located midway between the kitchen and storeroom. Five thousand large fruit cans have been ordered. A Serlee of Free Lectures.

Fancy Apples For Display. No less than 40 varieties of apples will be exhibited by the Western Michigan Development bureau in its displays to be made at tbe Michigan land and apple show. The varieties being sought are: Alexander, Autumn Strawberry, Bailey Sweet, Baldwin Banana, Ben Davis, Bietighelmer, Canada Red, Duchess of Oldenberg, Fallawater, Fall Pippin, Gano, Grimes Golden, Golden Sweet, Haas, Hubbarston Nunsuch, Jonathan* King Maiden Blush, Mann, Mother, Mcintosh Red, Nonpareil, Northern Spy, Northewestern Greening, Ontario, Pewaukee, pound Sweet, Red Astrachan, Rhode Island Greening, Shreve, Shiawassee! Snow, Stark, Stifling Winter, Steel's Red, Talman Sweet, Twenty Ounce, Wealthy, Wegener, Wolf River and Yellow Transparent Farmers Plan for Equal Taxes. At a secret meeting of representatives of eleven agricultural counties of the state held in Lansing It was decided to ask tbe state tax commission for -the valuation statistics of the various counties which hare beea prepared for the use of the state board of equalisation. Tbe meeting was attended by O. B. Horton, ex-Senator T. O. Bolt of Muskegon, and O. Lord of Detroit . Edwin C. Robinson, of Muskegon, was elected president, while Bolt waa made secretary and treasurer. ^N The damage by Hessian Qy in the southwestern part of the state, extremely hot and dry weather in the central and northern portion causing wheat to shrink by ripening too quickly and injury by smut in some localities, has disappointed many who were positive that tbe state yield would be 20 bushels per acre. The average estimated yield per acre In the state and southern counties is 18, in the central counties, in the northern counties 15, and in the upper peninsula 20 bushels. The average estimated yield of rye per acre In the state, southern and central counties, is 14, in the northern counties 13 and in the upper peninsula 22 bushels. The condition of corn as compared with an average, in the state is 82, in the southern counties 85, in the central and northern counties 79 and in the upper peninsula 92. The condition one year ago was 79 in the state, 77 in the southern counties, 82 in the peninsula, The estimated average yield of oats in the state is 30, in the southern and central counties 31, in the northern counties 24 and in the upper peninsula 36. The continued dry and hot weather is having a>very bad effect on potatoes. The condition of beans, compared with an average per cent in tbe state and southern counties is 81, in the central counties 80, in the northern counties 82 and in the upper peninsula 84; sugar beets as compared with an average, in the__slate arioTcenfral counties is 87, in the southern counties 86, in the northern counties 88 and in the upper peninsula 105. The drouth, excessive heat, high winds and insects'caused a very heavy fall of apples during July and reduced the crop outlook very materially. The prospect for an average crop in the state Is 41, in the southern counties 42, In the central counties 28, in the northern counties 40 and in the upper peninsula 71. The prospect for peaches in the Michigan fruit belt is 84 per cent, and in the state 7^. One year ago the prospect was 39 and 49 respectively. The varieties that promise best are, in their order: Elberta, Crawford, Hill's Chill, New Prolific, Gold Drop, Kqlamft/nn, Rnrnarri and-Creebyr^_ Add $100,000,000 to Value of Iron Mines It is unofficially reported in Lansing that Engineer Finlay, engaged by the state tax commission to make a new valuation of the mining properties of the state, will recommend in his report that the valuations of the iron mines be boosted approximately $100,000,000. They are now assessed at about $25,000,000, and the new figures places the value at $125,000,000. This is the greatest increase ever made in any one class of property in the state, and is sure to occasion a great fight before the state tax commission and the state board of equalization. The report of MrfFinlay is expected to be ready before the state board of equalization meets on Aug. 21. Say Lines Must—Buy Safeguards. It is the intention of the state railroad commission to compel the electric lines of the state to equip dangerous curves and switches with safety devices in order to put a stop to the numerous accidents which have cost many lives during the past few months. Chairman C. L. Glasgow has written to various manufacturers of safety devices and as soon as he receives quotations on the prices he will call a meeting of managers of Michigan electric lines and submit the proposition to them. He says that the roads must take immediate action as soon as a uniforom system of protection for curves can be found. Shoots Wife and Kills Himself. C. Howard Linabnry, formerly justice of the peace and well known In Pontiac, shot his wife and killed himself. Mrs. Linabury received a bullet through the left shoulder, but will recover. The couple have been separated for six months and Linabury had entered suit for divorce. t« 0''' .'J»y,- The individual garbage removal plan advocated by Ann Arbor council has been vetoed by the mayor as expensive and unsanitary, who does not believe the citizens would stick to their task. Carl S. Moon, a trustee for the defunct American Fuse Co., haa been given power by Referee K. E. Wicks, of Grand Rapids, to sell the plant in Muskegon. It Is believed that this will be the only way the creditors will realize on the holdings of the compstriy.

After an audience with President Taft and a sight-seeing tour the entertainment of the first day was brought to a climax by a dinner at tbe White House. Togo Will Not Visit Michigan. Admiral Count Heihachiro Togo will not visit Michigan during his present brief tour of the United States. Congressman Doremus found this out in an ineffectual attempt to induce the Japanese naval hero to make Detroit a port of call during his trip to Chicago, when he was Informed that the brevity of the admiral's stay in the United States had compelled him to cancel the Chicago invitation.

Western Roads Face Big Strike.~\ Western railroads are facing a $50,- 000,000 strike. Thousands of employesare ready to walk out in backing up their demand for better pay and better working conditions. While the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific— Harriman lines—are chiefly affected, the trouble is general throughout the west. NEWS IN BRIEFr The state will erect a monument in Canterbury, Conn., to Prudence Crandall, who, preceding the Civil wary founded a school for Negro children and was a leader In aiding slaves to secure their freedom by the "underground railroad." A big permanent army camp is planned by the government at either Oakland or Mountain Lake Park, Md., on the crest of the Alleghanies. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad will probably be the seller, as it has about 30,000 acres at Oakland. The vote taken last week by the striking coal miners in eastern British Columbia and southern Alberta shows that the miners are against accepting the majority report of the conciliation board, 90 per cent of them voting to continue the strike.

He notices a camp tire at a distance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and at full gallop pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims finding papers and a locket with a woman's-portrait He resolves to hunt down the murderers, Keith is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser being a ruffian named Black Bart. He goes to Jail fully realizing the peril of swift border Justice. A companion in his ceil is a negro, who teito him he 1B Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. CHAPTER V.—(Continued.) "I dunno, Massa, I done heerd 'em talk some 'bout dey plans, an* 'bout some gal dey wanted ter fin', but I didn't git no right sense to it De Gin'ral, he was a might still man." "The General? Whom do you^mean? Not. Waited .. — "John Sibley dona called him dat" Then Keith remembered—just a dim, misty thread at first, changing slowly into a clear recollection. He was riding with despatches from Longstreet to Stonewall Jackson, and had been sho.t through the side. The first of Jackson's troops be reached was a brigade of North Carolinians, commanded by General Walte—General Willis Walte. He had fallen from his horse at the outposts, was brought helpless to the General's tent, and another sent on with the papers. And M.rs. Walte had dressed and bandaged his wound, That was where he had seen that woman's face 'before, with its haunting familiarity. He drew the locket from beneath his shirt, and gazed at the countenance revealed, with new Intelligence. There could be no doubt—it was the face of her who had cared for him so tenderly in that tent at Manassas before the fever came and he had lost consciousness, And that, then, was Willis Waite lying In that shallow grave near the Cimmarpn Crossing, and for whose death he had been arrested. 'Twas a strange world, and a small one.

What strange combination of circumstances could ever have brought such a man to this place, and sent him forth across those Indian-scouted plains? Surely nothing ordinary. And why should those border desperadoes have followed, through sixty miles of desolation, to strike him down? It was not robbery, at least in the ordinary Bense. What then? And hpw was "Black Bart" Involved? Why-should he be sufficiently interested to swear out a warrant, and then assist in his arrest? There must be something to all this not apparent upon the surface-—some object, some purpose shrouded in mystery. No mere quarrel, no ordinary feud, no accident of meeting, no theory of commonplace robbery, would account for the deed, or for the desperate efforts now being made to conceal It. Some way, these questions, thus surging upon him, became a call to live, to fight, to unravel their mystery. The memory of that sweet-facet" women who had bent above him when the fever began Its mastery, appealed to him now with the opportunity of service. He might be able to clear this, bring to her the truth, save her from despair, and hand over to justice the murderers of her husband. It was up to him alone to accomplish this—-no one else knew what he knew, suspect* ed what he suspected. And there was but one way—through escape. To remain there in weak surrender to fate could have but one ending, and that swift and sudden. He had no doubt as to "Black Bar^s" purpose, or of his ability to use the "Red Light" outfit ss desired. The whole plan was clearly evident, and there Would be no delay la execution—all they were stilting for was night, aad a Ux g a a e d ^ e glanced about at the walls of the room, bis eyes grown hard, his teeth clenched. "Neb," he said shortly, "I guess that was your outfit all right, but they were not killed by Indians. They were run down by a gang from this town—the same fellows who have put you and me In here. I don't know what they were after—that's to be found out later,—but the fight yon put up at the camp spoiled their game for once, aad led to your arrest They failed to get what was wanted in Carson, and so they trailed the party to the Cimmaron Crossing. Then I got oa their track, and fearing the result, they've landed me also. Now t h e m get rid of us both as best they •in.

Keith ran his eyes over the walls, carefully noting every peculiarity. "We'll remain here quietly Just as long as it Is daylight, Neb," he replied finally, "but we'll try every board and every log to discover some way out. Just the moment it grows dark enough to slip away without being seen we've got to hit the prairie. Once south of the Arkansas we're safe, but not until then. Have you made any effort to get out?" The negro came over to him, and bent down. "I was lay In' on a board what I'd worked loose at one end," he whispered hoarsely, "back ob de bench; but I couldn't Jerk it out wld'out something ter pry it up wid," "Where Is it?" "Right yere, Massa Jack." It was a heavy twelve-inch plank, part of the flooring, and the second from the side-wall. Keith managed to get a grip next to the black fingers, and the two pressed It up far enough for the white man to run one arm through the opening up to his shoulder and grope about betow. "There's a two-toot space there," he reported, as they let the board settle silently down into position. "The back part of this building must be set up on piles. I reckon we could pry that plank up with the bench, Neb, but it's liable to make considerable racket Let's hunt about first for some other weak spot" They crept across the floor, testing each separate board, bat without discovering a place where they could exert a leverage. The thick planks were tightly spiked down. Nor did the walls offer any better encouragement Keith lifted himself to the grated window, getting a glimpse of the world without, but finding the Iron immovable, the screws solidly Imbedded in the outside wood. He dropped to the floor, feeling baffled and discouraged. I t will have to be the plank back of the bench, Neb," he announced briefly, wiping the perspiration from his face. "Get down there, aad work it at loose as you can without making any noise, while I keep my ear to the door and listen for any interruption.'' They took turns at this labor, discovering a loose nail which gave an opening purchase at the crack, thus enabling the insertion of a small wood* en block, and insuring space for a good finger grip, when the right time came. A sleepy Mexican brought in thee* dinner, and set it down on the bench without a word, but on his re* and his cronies, Keith was soon convinced they were unknown to Hicks, who had evidently been deceived into thinking that this last arrest had created no excitement. "That's why we picked yer up so somewhat larger, arranging the bench Itself so as to afford the necessary leverage, but even then MB entire weight failed to either start the spikes, or crack the plank. Some altercation began in the other room, the sound of angry voices and shuffling feet being plainly audible. It was clear to Keith that they must take the chance of a noise, and no better time than this could be chosen. "Here, Neb, take hold with me, and bear down—put your whole weight ou it, boy." The two flung themselves upon the end of the bench, leaping up and down so as to add weight to power. Something had to give, either the stout wood of their improvised lever or else the holding of the plank. For an Instant it seemed likely to be the former; then, with a shrill screech, the long spikes yielded and the board suddenly gave. With shoulders inserted beneath, the twe men- heaved It still higher, ramming the bench below so as to leave the opening clear. This was now sufficiently ample for the passage of a man's body, and Keith, lowering himself, discovered the earth to be fully four feet below. The negro Instantly Joined him, and they began creeping about in the darkness, seeking some way out. A rudely laid foundation of limestone along obstructed their patch to the open air. This had been laid In mortar, but of inferior quality, so that little difficulty was experienced in detaching sufficient to obtain hand hold. Working silently, not knowing what watchers might be already stationed without, they succeeded in loosening enough of the rock to allow them to crawl through, lying breathless In the open. Accustomed as they .were to the darkness, they could yet see little. They were upon the opposite side from the town, with no gleam of lights visible, prairie and sky blending together into spectral dimness, with no sound audible but the continued quarrel in the front room of the Jail. Keith crept along to the end of the building from where he could perceive the lights of the town twinkling dimly thr(fflgn~the--iutenBe blackneesr -gvfr dently the regular evening saturnalia had not yet begun, although there was already semblance of life about the numerous saloons, and an occasional shout punctured the stillness.

He left them tobacco and pipes, and went away evidently convinced that he had performed his full duty. *The two prisoners, puffing smoke-rings into the air, heard' the heavy clang of the iron bar falling into place across the door, and sat looking into one another's faces through the deepening twilight. In the mind of both black and white reposed the same thought. The negro was first to kfe5k>±he silence. " Tears, ter pre^ Massa Jack, like dls yere Bart pusson am-'mighty anxious ter hab np suspicions raised."

He ran forward, crouching behind every chance cover, and keeping well back behind the lice of shacks.

Many people In the United State* are afflicted with a queer diatuae, according* to a statement yesterday by Professor James M. Munyon. He made the following remarkable and r a t h e r statement: grewaome "Many persona who come and write to my headquarter* a t 53d and Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa., think they are Buffering from a simple stomach trouble, when In reality they are the victims of an entirely different disease—that of tape worm. These tape worms are huge Internal parasites, which locate In the upper bowel and consume a_ llaarrggee centage of the nutriment 1¾ undigested a length . ^. Per- _ . food. They sometimes g r o w ^ o of forty to sixty feet. One may havu tape worm for years and never know the cause of his or her ill health. "Persons who are suffering from one of these creatures become nervous, weak and Irritable, and tire at the least exertion. The tape worms rob one of ambition and vitality and strength, but they are rarely fatal. "The victim of this disease is apt to believe that he is suffering from chronic stoijiach/ trouble, and doctors for years without relief. This is not the fault of the physicians he consults, for there is no absolute diagnosis that will tell positively that one Is not a victim of tap© worm. "The moflt__cjammon_symptom- #t -tM»- trouble is an abnormal appetite. At times the person fa ravenously hungry and cannot get enough to eat. At other times the very sight ot food Is loathsome. There is a gnawing, faint sensation at the pit of tj*e stomach, and the victim has headaches, fits of dizziness and nausea. Ho cannot sleep at night and often thinks he is suffering from nervous prostration. "I have a treatment which has had wonderful Buccess In eliminating these great creatures from the system. In the course of its reprular action In aiding digestion, and ridding the blood, kidneys and liver of impurities It has proven fatal to these great worms. If one has a tap© worm, this treatment will, In nine cases out of ten, stupefy and pass It away, but If not, the treatment will rebuild the run-down person, who Is probably suffering from stomach trouble and a general anaemic condition. My doctors feport marvelous success here with this treatment. Fully a dosen persons have passed thflse worms, but they are naturally reticent about discussing them, and of course we cannot violate their confidence by giving their names to the public." _ Letters ^addressed to Professor J a m e s M.

The Suffolk horse is a chestnut la color, with a big body on short leas. While they do not stand as high from the ground as other draft breeds, yet when led upon the scales they compare with any breed In regard to weight Stallions weigh from 1,400 to 2.000 pounds and mares from 1,200 to 2,000 pounds. In temper the Suffolk horse Is docile In the extreme. They need very little breaking, taking naturally to work in harness. Vicious stallions are rarely seen. The stallion herewith Illustrated la Luther, age two years and weight 1*800 pounds. ® ••\ Geo. Black and son of Cat. spent tbrj practice to have the dog immediately put to death. Whenever the animal is suspected of having rabies this procedure is highly fallacious and cannot be to strongly condemed, as it often makes tbe positive determination of whether or not the dog had the disease impossible. Rabies can only be communicated by animals affected with rabies and only a short time before the appearance of symptoms. The dog should be tied or shut up and closely watched. If symptons do not appear in the suspected attinml within » week, the wound bas not been inoculated with the virus of rabies. If the dog dies within the period mentioned, the brain, or better, the entire head, should be immediately removed, packed in ice to prevent decomposition, and sent to the Pasteur Institute at Ann Arbor Mich., for examination, and if the suspicion is confirmed by laboratory findings and the diagnosis is positivey the individual who was bitten should without further delay be given the Pasteur treatment Over 90 per cent of all cases of rabies result from being bitten by dogs. It is therefore of highest importance that the muzzling of dogs be enforced. In Great Britain the number of cases of rabies in 1889 was 312, at which time the muzzling began to be enforced. In 1832 the number of cases had been reduced to 38 and the muzzling wag relaxed. After this the number of cases rapidly increased to 672 in 1895 after which muzzling was again enforced and the number of eases was reduced to 9 in 1900. Let ns profit by the experience of Great Britain and remove this terrible affliction from our midst. Wben annimals cannot bite they cannot communicate the disease and the contagion of rabies will die with tbe dyin? of the last infected. Many of the coutrivances sold as muzzles are not effective and are simply attempts to evade the. law. In a town where a muzzling order is in force unlets a dog wears an efficibreeds could not possibly, nor would | *lth iretrnroms aW^bTdTpapers. any one expect them to stand It. Our own experience has been that tbey do aa well as any. other work horse on half the amount of feed. For agility In comparison With weight they excel all other breeds. They are the one breed of draft horses that ia expected to trot with a loaded wagon. As a long lived breed they are especially noted. The Suffolk stallion Julian's Boxer, foaled in 1803, traveled the roads of Suffolk county during the breeding season for twenty-five years, and the majority of the present day Suffolk horses can be traced back to this horse.

HORSE COLIC REMEDY. Symptoms end Treatment of This Common Ailment. Oolllc makes attacks suddenly. The horse may show every symptom of distress and then get up, begin eating and seem relieved, only to be in agony again in fifteen, twenty or thirty minutes. This, with recklessness in lying down and absence of abdominal tenderness, distinguish the disease from inflammation of the bowels. The attacks may Increase or decrease in severity. To administer a laxative at once ia the safest method, aa this relieves spasms and^ carries out irritating matter. It la well to include an anodyne (belladonna, two ounces; opium, one and a half drams^ aconite, thirty drops), or chloral hydrate, one-naif ounce, to hold pain in abeyance until the system absorbs the laxative. A stimulant to quiet the nervous excitement may also be needed. For this give sweet spirits of niter one-half ounce or carbonate of ammonia two to four orams. Administer also copious injections of warm water with or without anodynes and antispasmodics and walk the patient about gently. If the colic seems to be spasmodic wholly anodynes and antispasmodics may be given without the laxative once in half an boar, hut If they fall give the physic i aloes, four drama), at enough of the othnntll the laxative begins to be absorbed.

From the first I felt sure I would keep my head on my shoulders, and if I didn't I was bound to enjoy what little time waa left me. The lieutenant and I were kindred spirits. and many were the cups of October ale we drank together, he always giving the toast, "May your head never roll Into a basket, but may you meet the death of a nobleman, falling before a pike or a sword." I bad tbe wine you sent me down in the cellar under tbe Tower in which are the lieutenant's quarters, and one day while drinking with my Jailer, we getting tired of ale, I told him that 1 had some fine French wine In the cellar and if he would let me send my man for It I woald open a bottle. He gave the permission and the cellar key, and, calling Jacob. I gave him the key and told him to go for a bottle. I also tipped him a knowing look.

TEEPLE HARDWARE COMPANY The fourth triennial meeting of the Pinckney Old Boys and Girls association is a thing of the past and that they were bauner days in the history of Pinckney, goes without a dissenting word. The people from a distance and out of town began to arrive earlier in the week than ever before so there was not the usual train loads at the last days tor they were here to welcome those who arrived later. The weather man must have had the matter in mind for although the dry spell had become almost unbearable, Tuesday after, noon we were visited with a bountiful rain that gave the parched earth a soaking, making the air fresh and clearing everything of dost. Wednesday opened up fair and the Old Boys and "Girls who had gathered enjoyed themselves as only old friends can, some visit, ing, playing ball and many were seen wending their way to the pond with fishing tackle and it was no strange sight to see some of the old boys with bathing suits on the run to the "old swimming hole" for a dip. of the leading of the singiug to which each heart responded in a manner that made one feel that it was good to be there. The following then answered to calls for a toast from the audience. Mr. Ira Kennedy of Milwaukee, Wis., L. F. Hose of Pasadama, Cali., James Allen of New York, Hon. G. W. Teeple all of which were loudly cheered for their timely remarks- 0. Collier of Wayne, Mich., at the request of Hon. G. W. Teeple sang Old Black Joe in his old time emotion and thrill. Long Ago and Nellie Gray were sung at the close with which much thoughtfulness." Miss Franc Burch of Detroit gave the program a fitting culmination and closed with a composition of her own "Reminiscence of "Old Pinckney"! She was encored several timee and each time responded with an original Pianologue. The meeting Thursday on the public square; Pres. E. L. Markey presiding opened the program with an appropriate suggestion to other days; Rev. A. G Gates gave the invocation. The following speakers were then called to the V-xXl MANURE SPREADE1 Think what this means to you?

For an hoar or more after the opera house was filled there was a ham of voices among the old boys and girls as they found each other and went to visiting. They were having the time of their Uvea and were loth to have the meeting call' ed to order as they were having such a good time. In fact they said it was one of the most pleasant hoars of the evening. The reception of the Old Boys and Girls a grand success; Pres. E, L. Markey presiding.

IT la EWgRYRnnvs P A I H Everybody Ought To See It—Every Effort Is Being Put Forward To Make The Michigan State Fair Greatest in Country. What is the Mtcbigau State Fair and Exposition going to bo in 1911? This is a question that is now being C < asked, and will be asked much more frequently during the next few weeks. The real and conerusive answer will be made at the fair grounds the days following September 18th, Before that time it is only possible to judge of what the 1911 fair wtfl be by a consideration of the methods employed by those who are making It and by comparison. President Newton and the oncers and board ol directors of the Michigan State Agricultural Society, and Manager Haunon, have gone into the matter of making the greatest fair and BKiiostUott-ot the Society1! a very thorough, business-like and systematic manner. To the close observer, these gentlemen have already made marked progress and from all obtainable indications it seems sure that they will 'make good." There are several objects which the managers have unitedly determined upon and which they will work unremittingly to attain. These objects are: To make the Michigan State Fair and Exposition one of the greatest educational institutions in the state. To make it a place where all classes and condition of people can come and learn from observation what brains and time and money and perseverance have*achieved in every line of industry, To make it a mirror of the State's resources/and thus Detroit and Michigan's greatest advertising asset. To make it not only the greatest exposition in point of size and atteneducational value. To make it a place where everyone can go and be entertained royally, but entertained without resort to amusements that are not uplifting and moral. To make it a veritable short course in agriculture, stock raising, manufacturing and in every industry that is worth while. To make its location and fts dates in September, the place and the time that will furnish the greatest interest to the greatest number of people ia the great state Is represents. "The greatest o l all fairs, in the fairest of all states," is the claim made by President Newton and his aides for 1911. Plans for the coming nine days' fair, September ISth to 27th, have been drawn to a gigantic scale and some idea of its magnitude may be gained from the statement athtamt ~$W85r,0s0^0s -i^s rrof-f~er~eTd* —in— p*r—em-i ums - The fair grounds, with enormous buildings erected or under process of design, all of substantial and harmonious structure, estimate the generous figure of nearly a million dollars. It is doubtful if an 050)081110¾ project was ever initiated under more favorable circumstances than is the State Fair this year. "• ' ^WILBUR P.

Th above views-were taken in Horticultural Hall at the last Michigan State Fair and give some idea of the splendid displays in this department from every section of the state. At the state fair this year, September 18th to 27-th, the exhibits will be larger than ever, the Western, Northwestern, and Upper Peninsula Development Bureaus having engaged a large section of the building, where they will make their exhibits. The development bureaus are offering special cash prizes for the best display's of fruit and grains and these displays will be well worth seeing. The "Hack to the Farm" movement is attracting a great deal of attention just now nad the exhibits from the farm and orchard have a telling and lasting effect on prospective buyers, The state fair this year is going to be a wonderful show in every department. THE SIMPLE LIFE. By Captain Leslie T. Peacocke. "You fellows may think I'm joking, but you'll find that ouce my mind's made up, it's-made up for good. No more of this sort of game for mo I'm going to live THE S1MPLK LIFE," and Sidney Chapin slammed his finished highball glasrf with emphasis on the round table and rose with a glare of amusing defiance at his three companions. "Ye.s, you will,'' laughed Squatty Dawson sarcastically. "I can see you doing it. Early to bed, and only one drink between moals. That'll be fine, won't it?" "And walking about the wet grass with bare feet, so's to get up his circulation and his appetite for a vegetarian diet," broke in the young stockbroker, Archie Harris, over the rim of his whisky sour. "The simple life's all right. Sid, for fellows that's past •GO, and tor the regular long-hairs, but it won't suit you. Let's have one more drink, boys, and then Chris can give us a spin round in his machine before dinner." "Yes, a ride over to Baldwin's Ranch will do us all good," agreed Chris Mortimer, son of old man Mortimer, the Spring Btreet banker, and , considered the warmest sport in the Jonathan Club, in whose smoking room they were now assembled—with ; the exception, perhaps, of the gay Sidney Chapin, who was thus aston* ishlng ' his companions by announcing hie sodden determination to amend his mode of living. "That'll be fine," said Squatty Dawson. "One more drink now, and another when we get to the Oakwood, and then we can toss who's to pay for dinner at Levy's," and, snapping liis fingers, he attracted the attention *dt & w A iter Sidney Chapin set his hat determinedly on his head. "Not for mine!" h* asserted firmly. "I'm through! There's nothing like rude health, and list night's racket at the Bristol has given me a head that'll take two weeks of the Simple Life to get over. It's either that or the Cooley Cure. I tried the Cure once, and I prefer the Simple Life. You fellows would do bitter If you'd follow my example ejftdQUii right now." 1 T '" ftU«T THOUaHTS. "Oh, nrrst"retorted Chris Mortimer. "What's the use of trying to kid yourself. Why, you're only 25 and just beginning to enjoy life. I've never seen you draw what I call a sober breath, and I've known you for five years. After you've had a couple of highballs at the Oakwood, you won't be talking such foolishness." "I know what it is!" interposed Archie Harris. "Sid has struck a new affinity, and wants to keep her all to himself—some grass-widow most likely who's going to try and reform him. I>ots of 'em are great on that, you know." "Well, she'll have her hands full with Sid," laughed Squatty Dawson. "She's never seen him making Ic^ve to four different affinities all at oncef as we did at Ocean Park last summer. What's she like, Sid?" Chapin muttered an impatient "Pshaw!" and snapped his gold cigarette- case to his pocket. "You fellows never take anything seriously. You just wait, and see what a different man I'll be in a few weeks." "Well, I hope you will," sneered Archie Harris. "There's lots of room for improvement. Where are you going to tackle this wonderful reformation? In a monastery?" "Not quite, but I'm going to live a good, Simple Life all the same. I've fixed myself up a nice IMle place at Catallna that I rented last week. It's about two miles from Avalon, and It's one of the sweetest little cottages you ever saw." "Gatalaina!" cried Squatty Dawson. "That's a queer sort of place to chboso in winter. Wl)at are you going to do there? Fish?" "Yes, fish some, I guess, and take long walks. The hills there are fine and the air's full of ozone. I'm off now to take a Haroman bath, and then I 've got some things to express down to San Pedro." "And when do you leave?" queried Chrjs Moftimer, changing his banter Ing tone, as did the others, on seeing that SMney was In earnest. "Tomorrow morning, by the 9 o'clock boat. I'll be over in Catallna about 11. If you fellows care to come down some day next week, I'll treat you to a fine day's fishjng, and as good a dinner as you'll get here at the chfb.

"Sure, that'll be all right," said Archie Harris. "We can find accommodations at the Metropole. What day shall we make it, Sid?" "Let's see," replied Sidney, calculating. "This is Tuesday. How about next Monday? I'll be all settled by then." "Suit me all right," returned the stockbroker heartily. "How about you fellows? We have nothing on for Monday, have we?" They found the cottage luxuriously and tastefully furnished, and followed their host from room to room with feelings somewhat akin to envy. A hundred and forty pound tuna and a score of yellow-tail rewarded their efforts, which, with the addition of some delectable rock bass, made up a tidy haul, and, the waning sun warning them to desist, they bore the "catch" in triumph to the cottage, and begged the Chinaman to add some of the smaller and most succulent specimens to the bill of fare. The '.Oriental's cooking left nothing to be desired, and the bottles extracted from the ice chest sparkled a fitting accompaniment to the jingling of the heartily-plied silverware and the flow of ready wit. It was near midnight when they rose and hiccuped the body and chorus of a time honored' song In deference to their host; assuring him again and agafh that he was "a jolly good fellow;" and continuing the assurance with unsteady gait afid uplifted voices as he assisted them to the road and into the machine that was to bear them to the Metropole. Chapin gave a sigh of relief as he re-entered, the cottage, mixed himself a modest "night-cap," placed the glass back on the table, and, sweeping the debris of plates and innumerable glasses with suddenly affrighted eyes, gave ah astonished gasp, and called loudly for the Chinaman- "Me no savvy," said Sing Kee, protestingly. "Me no touch any silber at all. All there last time I come into room. You fiends take 'em away to make a joke, maybe. Fiends make joke all the time!" "I guess so!" agreed his master, instantly grasping the situation. "It's that silly fool Squatty Dawson trying . . * _ Virtue is the moral fiber that comes from soul struggle. Thinking bitterly of Dthers strikes a blow at my own heart. Our neighbors are not lifted up by looking up their records. He who spreads himself in prayer is not likely to rise in It. People who practice duplicity naturally label it diplomacy. It's always easter to sing about heaven than to serve earth. Every great public victory hat many a private struggle behind i t Many believe they are sanctified be- so self-satisae*. -to be funny. He must have swiped all the silver off the table when he ran back to get his cigar case, All right, Sing, you can go to bed. They'll be sure to send it back in the morning when they see what a silly joke it was. I hope they won't lose any of the spoons or forks, though, because they're all solid silver. The damned fools!

His hopes were not fully realized, apparently, for three days later the trio at the Jonathan Club received a caustic letter, setting forth the valuable nature of the silverware, which they were given to understand had been precious to the family of Chapin for several generations. Three days later another and more urgent letter was received, with threats of bodily hurt, and yet three days later a third epistle was delivered into their hands in which legal action of sinister nature was more than broadly hinted at; in answer to which our friend at Catalina Island received the following: "Dear Sid—The tone of your last letter has hurt us .very much. The first two we thought were written as a joke, as we were certain you had discovered the knives, forks and spoons which Squatty merely slipped between the sheets of your own bed.

Outing bats for July and August are of felt in white or light colors, such as Alice blue, champagne and the season's beautiful pink tones. These are either all felt or felt and hemp combinations and are trimmed with scarfs, bands, soft draperies of chiffon and wings or ribbon. They are exquisite and, it must be confessed, fragile in the matter of keeping clean. But they remain presentable for some time and are cleaned with fine sandpaper. Everywhere the floating white veil accompanies these cool-looking creations of the milliner. The veils are of lace, in several varieties, in coarse silk nets and in chiffon. They are all washable and add immensely to the attractiveness of the hats and the complexion, for they are worn either over or off the face. More pTetentiouB millinery Is shown AFTERNOON DRESS. in the trimmed models pictured here. One of the cone-shaped hats,, of which we may expect to see numbers during the fall season, is shown in the illustration. It is trimmed with a full ruche of silk "pinked" at the edges and laid in quadruple box-plaltings. Velvet fruit, like plums, cherries or even apricots, set in these ruchings make a trimming chic and striking. Velvet fruit, in fact, is developing so mucb popularity that it will probably stay with us and add a charming note to winter millinery, and hats made of felt in the shape pictured here are quite like to be trimmed in the same way. A model of black hemp, with a moderatelytall crown, is also shown. It 1B ca^WRfcted to pave the way for extremely high-crowned models, or crowns trimmed extremely high, which Paris says, are to be a vogue for winter. This soft-crowned model makes use of the feather band about the brim edge and is finished with a cluster of upstanding plumes at the back. An ornament made of plaited ribbon finishes the trim, poised on the crown at the right side. TO PREVENT SAGGING SKIRTS Have Garment Properly Prepared Before It Is Turned Up to Be Hemmed. Summer dress Ekirts when made of thin material will always sag after they are hemmed and finished if care is not taken to prevent it. A good way to do is to have the skirt sagged first before it is turned up to be hemmed. This is done after the skirt is completely, finished excepting the hem, from the band to the final fitting and the last hook and eye is in its place. The skirt is now hung in a closet or, better still, put upon a full-length dress form raised from the floor by placing it on a box, and the bias portions of the gores weighted so they will stretch to the fullest extent. After several days of this strain the material will have Bagged to its fullest extent, and the hem may be measured and turned up. Anything will do for weighing. The smallest weights from the kitchen scales, put in temporary coverings of muslin and; pinned on, are excellent. Any other small objects of uniform heaviness will do for other weights. .V ^ Peacock blue Irish poplin Is chosen •or our model.

A SIMPLE BUSINESS METHOD IN DAIRYING By W. B. LIVER ANCE, Iastructor in Dairying, Michigan Agricultural College , Babcock Milk Testing Outfit. Dairying is supposedly carried on for the purpose of securing a profit. The fundamental element acting as the incentive for any business is the returns for the money invested. Too many farmers do not look on their occupation as a business. They consider it only as a means to earn a livelihood and many are too content with this state of affairs. Any phase of agriculture is a business and should be considered so by the man entering into it. The man occupied in the sale of wares considers very carefully, if he be a' successful merchant, each factor which will influence his profits or his losses. He sees that every article sold nets him a profit. If some particular line is losing him money or fails to make as high a rate of profit as he feels he should have, he disposes of that line. The farmer owning dairy cows Bhould and must, if he is successful, conduct his business in a way similar to the merchant. He should see that each Individual makes him a very profitable return for the money Invested. Too many Michigan farmers are actually losing money in the animals not producing enough miTk to pay. for the feed given them. Is this good business? The dairy farmer should know exactly the returns in dollars and cents of each cow in his herd. He should know the production of milk and fat from each animal. It requires no Preparing for t h e Seeding of Wheat By V. M. Shoesmith, Proftucr of Ftra Crop* Michigan Agricultural CoNeie The usual practice in growing wheat in Michigan is for the wheat to follow oats, barley or other crops which are removed from the field in mid-summer. The previous crop takes most of the moisture; then after harvest the field, with little vegetation to act as a cover, is exposed to the hot summer sun and winds. As a result the evaporation is excessive and the field soon becomes too dry to plow in goodcondition if, indeed, it can be plowed at all. It is frequently late in August or early in September before a good rain is secured, and much of this runs off because of the hard condition of the soil. It is practically impossible to prepare a good seed bed for wheat by this method of plowing late when the soil is in poor condition, and the effect is invariably seen in the crop. If the oat field had been examined just previous to harvest a sufficient amount of moisture would have been found to enable the field to have been plowed in fairly good,condition. The disking or plowing of the soil would have made a soil mulch which would have preserved most of the moisture and left the soil in ideal condition to receive the rainfall. The Important thing in Connection with the preparation of a seed bed when the moisture is limited or when the time is short, as in the case of wheat following spring grain, is to get on the field early; only a day or two delay may mean the loss of so much moisture that all operations must stop until the next rain. If a field can be plowed at once after the removal of the previous crop, this may answer very well, but it is better, especially if the plowing cannot be entirely finished within a very few day.s, to use the disk harrow to form a mulch to hold the moisture until the ground can be plowed and harrowed. If sufficient teams and help are available the disk may follow Immediately behind the binder before the grain is shocked or i t may be operated between the rows of shocks, either of which means are better than to delay disking until the crop of grain has been removed from the field. It is a more or less common practice to plow ander manure in the late summer for fall seeding of wheat. This practice gives good results in esse the manure ia applied in a tbln coat and H fine and well rotted. The plowing under of a thick' coat of coarse great expenditure and the equipment is not at all complex. The above illustrations show in detail everything that is necessary. One must have a set of Spring balances and a milk sheet to record the milk produced at the morning's and night's milking throughout the month. A Babcock testing outfit is also necessary in order that the milk from each cow may be tested for butterfat. Then knowing the milk production and the richness, the amount of fat for the month and ultimately for the year can be computed. Then by an estimation of the feed given the cow, her net profit or loss can be easily determined. The estimated production of cows are very deceiving. A cow may have produced very heavily for a part of the year. She may have produced a large quantity of very poor milk or A smaller quantity of rich milk. These and many more factors tend to deceive the owners. The only accurate and sure method is to keep a record as described, then if animals are found to be making good returns they should be kept and bred to purebred dairy sires and the resulting female progeny should be kept when mature as milch cows. The unprofitable or low profit paying animalB should be sold as soon as they could be placed upon the market. This means good business-dairying and in the course of a very few years will result in the production of a very profitable herd. manure is objectionable as it tends to hold up the furrow slice and allow the soil to dry out. On this account It is usually better to use the manure as a top dressing after the wheat 1B seeded. In sections where the Hessian Fly has done little or no damage to previous crops it is best to seed fairly early so that the young wheat plants will make a vigorous growth and become quite hardy before the winter sets in. A good time to seed is from the 10th to the 20th of September. If the "fly'* is bad somewhat later seeding (the first two weeks in October) is preferable, as the adult insects will lay moBt of their eggs on the early seeded wheat. In some sections the "fly" has done considerable damage to the crop just harvested and is liable to be worse next year. This insect should be carefully watched by wheat growers during the next few years. Wheat growers should by all means get the best seed wheat obtainable. There is much difference in varieties. Usually the red or harder wheats will weigh more per bushel, make a better flour and bring a little more on the market than the white or softer wheats. The white wheats, however, frequently yield better, especially on low lands and during moist seasons. The Shepperd's Perfection, Buda Pest, Century and Nigger are good wheats of the first class, while the Early Windsor, American Banner and Plymouth Rock are some of the better white wheats. A careful application of the above suggestions; the preparation of a fine, fairly firm and moist seed bed, which will insure a quick even germination Of the seed; the fairly early Seeding, which will favor a vigorous growth in the fall and an abundant stouling ' in the spring, and the seeding of wheat of some of the better adapted varieties will do much to increase the yield and profit of the Michigan wheat crop. >. frffK".''•r^f-rf-f-- Speeial Feed for Molting Season. •- The molting season with old hens is now on and a little extra attention at this time will aid greatly in carrying the hens through this period.

Pinckney evidentally wanted to wipe out the defeat handed them the week before at South Lyons and Dunning pitching for Pinckney proved himself master of t h e situation, Pinckney winning by the score of 4 to 1. The morning game between Pinckney and Fowlerville was a hard fought battle until the fifth inning, Farmer pitching for the visitors and Moran for the home team, both men were very effective, the score being five goose eggs for each team at the beginning of the fifth, when after L. Lavey was retired Ledwidge landed on the ball for two-bases. This was a starter for Pinckney and hits by Dunning, R. Moran, H. and F . Swarthout and F. Moran made the score 5 to 0. A. Lavey walked in the seventh and a three bagger by M. Roche sent him across the plate with the last run. The afternoon game brought a large and enthusiastic crowd to the grounis and all seemed well satisfied by the way Pinckney trounced the invaders, Munsell was on the mound for Fowlerville while Ledwidge twirled for Pinckney. The visitors could do nothing with Ledwidges delivery as the score indicates, while Munsell was pounded for eleven hits including a wo-bagger by A. Roche and a three-bagger by Fred Swarthout. The total of this game was 11 to 2 in Piuckneys favor. Everyone of the Pinckney players distinguished himself in some way during these games and Leo Lavey's great throwing to second prevented much base stealing. Dr. "Andy" Roche celebrate d h i s home coming by a timely two-bagger the first time at bat, although he modestly requested to be placed last in the batting list. These .three games show conclusively that Pinckney has a strong team and deserves better support than is usually given them by the home fans. I t would be hard to fiud three better pitchers than Dunning, Moran and Ledwidge, and with more practice this team can "bring home the bacon," as often as any of them.

You don' know how mis'able It makes me to be In the fold and have my husban' out of i t " "What's an evangelist?" "An evangelist is one of them minister's the Lord sends onct in a while to s t k up the feelln's o' them as can't be teched by ordinary means." "One of whom I a m which." "Yes, you be, Elijah. I'm sorry to say it. I hope you'll go and hear this holy man and xnebbe he'll tech your heart" Mahulda Dunkers sighed and walked away. H e r efforts to bring her husband under the influences that guided her always proved abortive, l i e w a s a matter of fact * man, while she w a s emotional. B y some he w a s called a scoffer, though no one ever heard him speak disrespectfully of religion. He disliked cant and those disposed to cant called him a scoffer because h e w a s not of their ilk. The couple lived In the far w e s t where extremes were in vogue. This had made the wife an extremist in matters of religion. If the husband w a s an extremist i t w a s in the manifest presence of the devil who seemed to guide both the good and the bad in Nuggetville. Sunday morning came and a f e w minutes before service time a man in clerical garb w a s seen descending the trail. He walked with a firm step and carried a prayer book in his hand. The Reverend Mr. Saintly w a s unknown to a single person in Nuggetville. He had sent word that he would preach there on that Sunday morning and hoped that h e would move every unchristian man, woman and child in the camp to repentance. Elijah Dunkers s a w the evangelist coming and watched him descend the canyon. "What makes y e scowl so, Elijah?" asked his wife. "It seems that everything holy h a s a contrary effect on ye. Can't you look at a man of God with* out showin' the impiety there is in ye? It isn't y o u that's scowlin' a t this j servant of tine Lord; It's t h e devil | that's got a h o l t on yer heart." 1 "Jes* -yotf^ go to meetin', Mahulda.' What y e got to put in the hat?" "I got four ounces o' dirt." - j "Ye goin' to give four ounces o' dirt to t h a t " - "Forbear, Elijah! Ferbear! Don't speak impiously of the Lord's anointed." Elijah turned away. Ills wife made one more effort to Induce him to accompany her to the grove that w a s one of "God's first temples." but he paid no attention to her. The evangelist found the people o f Nuggetville assembling and taking seats on the boards ranged in front of a stump to which a piece of scantling j supporting a n inclined bit of timber j for a book rest w a s fastened. Mounting the stump be said: j "My friends, I wish before beginning j the service t o ask if any one o f you have brought to this, place consecrated ' to the Lord's s e m c e any o f those hellish machines used to kill your fellow men. I f so please go and deposit them a t the foot of that tree over yonder." H e waited while several of the men present, a w e d by his impressive tone, deposited their revolvers and knives a s he directed, When they were again seated t h e evangelist asked if any other person w a s desecrating t h e place and called down the wrath o f heaven upon them if they were. This resulted in the deposit of t w o more weapons, after which t h e service proceeded. Mr. Saintly proved t o be one of those men w h o have the faculty of pouring forth a torrent of words, working o n their hearers more b y their personal intensity than by w h a t they say. Excitable himself, he excited others. H i s word pictures o f the terrible damnation i n store for those w h o did not do w h a t he told them to do were lurid a s a n approaching tornado. Mrs. Dunkers, t h e moat emotional w o m a n in t h e congregation, became hysterica). The evangelist finished his exhortation with t b t following word*: "A*d n o w . my bearer* I w i s h y o n to plant on this holy ground a church. I desire that one o f your number paaa around t h e hat t o receive your contributions, a n d remember that aa yon give s o shall y o u be received a t t h e last day teto heaven." A white headed man arose, paased around a h a t , and when he had finished set it down..overflowing w i t h gold dust and coins, at a point indicated by the evangelist Then the good m a n dismounted from t h e pulpit stamp, walked u p t o the hat, faced t h e con* gregation, drew a 42 caliber revolver, covered 4fco*e present, picked u p t h e hat and a t M : . 'Tou're t h e easiest plucked lot o* galoots I ever relieved tf their duet."

Tbe cleanest lager beer sometimes contains numbers of yeast cells, says Pure Products. Still larger numbers are often found In ale and In Weiss beer, which probably gives these beverages some of their desirable properties. But by far the largest amount of yeast which finds Its way Into the human digestive system Is Introduced with bakery goods which have been made from flour. Yeast is a fungus and belongs to the same family as the mushroom, for which most people have a distinct liking. The age long uee of yeast for bread raising purposes proves that this fungus is capable of thoroughly agreeing with the human organism. In view of this fact it is somewhat surprising that immense amounts of beer yeast are annually allowed to go to waste from every brewery in the country. There are several circumstances which have seemed to stand in the way of employing beer yeast In food production. The two principal ones are Its dark color and its bitterness, due to the simultaneous use of hops in the brewing processes. These properties of beer yeast, however, may easily be removed. Beer yeast is not suitable for baking purposes because It grows in a cold medium and does not possess a great enough raising power for the purposes of the baker. There is no question about the nutritive value of yeast, since weight for weight it is quite comparable in nutritive value to, the best beer. ^ o r direct consumption in the fresh condition yeast must be put into a suitable form. According to the method of Kleinschmldt, compressed yeast which mis been deprived of fte bitter substance, may be melted with edible fata, such-\ae butter, the result being a very tasVy paste which can be spread directly on bread. Dry yeast can be used in this game manner,'and experience has already shown that the addition of yeaat to certain sauces and salad dressings is attended with very favorable results. However, it ifl necessary that the question Bhould receive a thorough study from experts on cooking. TROLLEY CARS CRASH. Two CarB Meet Head-On—Two Are Dead and 60 Injured. As the result of the forj.-etfulmjKS i of Motornmn Frank Woodin. ot the N'orthville branch of the D. U. K., according to the statement made by the officials of the company, a crash occurred between two interurbau cars at the junction in Dearborn at 4:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, as the result of which two men were killed and 60 persons were injured, several of them no severely that they may die. The collision occurred between the N'orthville local car and the Ann Arbor local. The N'orthville car had orders to pass the west-bound limited traveling in two sections. Woodin ! held his car in the switch until the two sections of the limited passed, und, so it is declared, answered the signals indicating that he knew the ; local was right behind, but be pulled jout onto the main line just in time I to meet the rapidly approaching local I head-on. The cars telescoped and | piled up in a jumbled mass. Why the I death list was not greater is hard to figure out. Louis Hamilton, motorjman of the local, shut off power and I then jumped, but he broke his back i in striking fho cement road and died j within a short time. Motorman Blames Conductor. J "My conductor, F. Dresselhouse, was standing on the front of the car. He said, 'Go ahead;' 1 turned on the power and ran out of the switch, an instant later, it seemed, a car loomed up ahead of us. 1 only had time to throw off the power, put on the emergency brake and then I jumped. The cars crashed together as I hit the ground," says Motorman Woodin. Joachim and the Barbers. Mr. Rutland Barrlngton's story of the barber whose only comment OD one of his impersonations was to the effect that hlB hair was rather long recalls a tale which used to be told in relation to the late Dr. Joachim and another member of the fraternity This knight of the scissors was alsc struck by tbe undue length of hie victim's locks and suggested a reduc tion accordingly, adding confidentially in support of his recommendation "MakeB you look like one of them fid dler chaps, sir." Joachim's answer i£ not recorded. Yet another barber story in relation to Joachim tells of the astonishment aroused among the practitioners ai one establishment who knew not that they were entertaining angels unawares, when Joachim and two or three comrades of the bow all happened to be having their wants attended to simultaneously. As each Indicated in turn a tender spot beneath the chin for which special consideration was besought, the only possible conclusion which suggested itself to one and all was that these must be members of some Becret society and that this curious behavior must be part of their ritual. i'ri*V ? • ; < • Formosa's Camphor Forests. The camphor forests of the world are located in the island of Formosa, in t h e highlands and mountainous sections. In a dozen different sections of the island where the camphor forests are particularly valuable the cutting and transporting of the logs into Lhe civilised sections are.attended.with great risk of life to the laborers, who are Chinese and Japanese, for these sections are*inbabited by head-hunting savages, whom the Dutch, Chinese and Japanese, have from time to time tried to subdue, with varying success. The Japanese and Chinese coolies employed In bringing the camphor-tree logs oat of the forests are not Infrequently attacked by bands of these savages, and sometimes the whole gang of workmen is annihilated before the last for human beads is satisfied. In order to protect in a measure the laborers of the industry, as well as those engaged in cutting valuable hardwoods of the Formosa forests, the , Japanese are compelled to maintain an elaborate military and police system * in the head hunters' territory. Fully four-fifths of the world's camphor supply comes from Formosa.—Harper's. AM in a Month. "Before marriage I used to dream of - Rfe rn a fine house, with sixteen servants." reams never come true."

In granting the injunction restraining the huge merger Judge Weist has the distinction of handing down an opinion in direct opposition of opinions handed down by Judge Swan, of the federal court in Detroit, and by- Judge A. T. Streeter, of the Houghton county circuit, both judges having held that a temporary injunction should not issue. Warden Willing to Build Roads. A question confronting tbe prison board of control is the kind of labor that can -he given convicts when the present contracts ex-pirer No new ones can he made. The law provides they shall be employed on state account on work that will not | seriously interfere with organized labor. Warden Simpson of Jackson prison says In regard to setting the prisoners to worlc making good roads that while he has eome doubts as to the practicability of the scheme he stands leady to give it a thorough trial at any time the governor and board of control direct him to do so. tot GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF, Little Money for Fire Sufferers.

Word has been received at Las Crues, home of General Viljoen, Boer warrior and military adviBer to Francisco 1. Madero, that Villjoen has been appointed as chief officer of rurales in Mexico. Five hundred Maderista soldiers under Col. Estrada have arrived in Juarez from Chihuahua, and will remain as a permanent garrison. The arrival of the troops, it is believed, will do away with further trouble in Juarez. Upsetting a practice of more than MO years the senate and house conferes have agreed to eliminate an appropriation of an extra month's salary to all employes of the capital. This saves the government about $140,000. Dissolution of eleven mutual fire insurance companies of Philadelphia, brought into court by State Insurance Commissioner Samuel \V.

The fortifying of the Panama canal will begin this week at the Pacific entrance of the waterway, Gen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the army, who returned from Panama, announces. The war department will -endeavor to complete the fortifications simultaneously with the opening of the canal. The condition of Pope Pius, although quite normal, is not alarming in the slightest degree. The weak-, ness following the last indisposition of his holiness has been due chiefly to the exceptional heat which, although it has not reached as high a degree as in the other capitals of Europe, is very depressing. Mrs. Belle A. Mansfield, 65, the first woman ever admitted to the practice of law in the United States, died suddenly at the home of her brother, Judge W. J. Babb, in Aurora. 111.

The Upper Peninsula people are preparing to attend the Michigan State Fair this year in considerable number, The U. P. development bureau are planning to make a large exhibit at the fair and they propose to let fair visitors know that the I!. P. is rapidly coming to the front in agriculture and horticulture. Notwithstanding the fact that a large party from the U. P. will come to Detroit, September 6th to return the visit recently made by the Detroit Board of Commerce, the fair management has been requested to set aside a day to be known as Upper Peninsula day, and have fixed upon Friday, September 22nd, as the date. The railroads and steamboat lines have promised to give a round trip reduced rate for the Upper Peninsula people and the fair management is advised that the upper country people are coming down in large numbers. A member of the executive committee of the Upper- Peninsula development bureau in writing President Newton of the S ^ t e Fair says: "We want the' people up here to under--] stand that the State Fair belongs to the Upper Peninsula as well as to the lower, and that we should all unite in making it the greatest fair in the United^ States. 1 believe tbe setting apart a day at tt*e fair to be known as Upper Peninsula Day will be the beginning of a greater interest in the State Fair by the people above the straits and that each succeeding yeat will show a deeper interest."

NEW MEMBERS TO BE CHOSEN AT LARGE IN 1912. The Measure Will Take Effect On and After March 3, 1913— Michigan Gets One New Member. After accepting an amendment by Senator Burton of Ohio providing that added representatives shall be nominated at large in the same manner as the governor until their states shall have been redistricted, the senate passed by viva-voce vote the reapportionment bill increasing the house of representatives from 391 to 433, and giving Michigan 13 instead of 12 repassentatives, The hill now goes to conference. Michigan congressmen declare the house will accept the senate amendment. Unlike the tariff bills, for which vetoes wait, the reapportionment bill will be signed and become law. All of Michigan's representatives, says Rep. Doremus, have indicated more or less desire that redistricting be put off until after the 1912 election, preferring to have the thirteenth member chosen at lagge rather than to have their own bailiwicks carved up. Prospective candidates for the Republican nomination at large are said to include: Edwin Denby, Patrick H. Kelley, W. Frank Knox, Harry Smith and Gerrit DlekemaV The senate adopted the urton amendment to the bill by a vote of 39 to 28, after defeating an amendment by Senator Root to leave the house membership at 391, by a vote of 46 to 23. The reapportionment bill is so drawn that no state- will lose in representation, but in some eases there will be a decided increase? New York beads'the list with an Increase of six members; Pennsylvania gets four; California and Oklahoma three each; Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas and Washington, two each: and Alabama, Colorado, Florida. "Deorgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, _ Rhode Island, South Dakota. Utah and West Virginia, one each. The measure will take effect on and after March 3, 1913. Wiht the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to statehood with one representative each, the membership under the present bill would advance to 435. Three World Powers Sign Peace Plan Three of the world's greatest nations, with the United States as the Central figure and moving spirit, join hands in opening the way to the coveted goal of modern statesmen—universal peace. America and Great Britain and America and France have signed general arbitration treaties for the peaceful settlement of all disputes that may be locked in the mystery of the future, even though they concern the national honor or vital interests of the signatories, subjects invariably excepted in existing arbitration treaties. To Jean Jules Jusserand came the signal honor of signing an arbitration treaty between the United States and France six hours ahead of the signing of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain. This distinction is possibly of more personal satisfaction than that gained from having been the first foreign diplomat to come forward with a tentative acceptance of President Taft's informal proposal to all nations for just such a treaty as has been concluded. Mr. Jusserand has been the French ambassador to the United States since 1902 and while Roosevelt was president was a member of the famous "tennis cabinet." President Simon Gone. Gen.

He notices a camp fire at a distance and then sees a team attached to a wagon and at full gallop pursued by mon on pontes. W h e n Keith roaches the wagon the raiders have m a s s - acred two men end departed. He searches n h e victims rinding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to hunt down the murderers. Keith Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder Ills accuser being a rufnan named Black B a r t "*:." V %. CHAPTER IV. An Old Acquaintance. The Carson City lock-up was an Improvised affair, although a decidedly popular resort. It was originally a two-room cabin with gable to the street, the front apartment at one time a low groggery, the keeper sleeping in the rear room. Whether sudden death, or financial reverses, had been the cause, the community had In. some manner become possessed of the property, and bad at once dedicated it to the commonweal. For the purpose thus selected It was rather well adapted, being strongly built, easily guarded, and on the outskirts of the town. With iron grating over the windows, the back door heavily spiked, and the front secured by iron bars, any primmer once locked within could probably be found when wanted. On | the occasion of Keith's arrival, the portion abutting upon the street was occupied by a rather miscellaneous , assembly—the drunk and disorderly ; elements conspicuous—who were j awaiting their several calls to appear before a local justice and make answer for various misdeeds. Some were pacing the floor, others sat moodily on benches ranged against the wait, while a few were still peacefully slumbering upon the floor. It was a frowsy, disreputable crowd, evincing but mild curiosity at tho arrival of a new prls- -oner, Keith had barely time to glance about, recognizing no famiflarity . of face amid the mass peering at him, as "••fee.;-was hustled briskly forward and thrutt-lpto t h e rear room, the heavy door clo8ing^<dTigd^m'^w1tbrthe snap of a snrlng lock. .. He was alone, with only, the faintest murmur of voices coming "te^birn through the thick partition. It w a s ^ a ^ room Borne twelve feet square, open 1o the roof, with bare walls, and containing no furniture except a rude bench. Still dazed by the suddenness of his arrest, he sank down upon the seat, leaned his head on his hands, and endeavored to think, It was difficult to get the facts marshalled into any order or to comprehend clearly the situation, yet little by little his brain grasped the main details, and 4ie awoke to a full realization of his ooadition, of the forces he must war against The actual murderers of those two men on the Irail had had their suspicions aroused by his actions; they believed he guessed something of their foul deed, and had determined to clear themselves by -charging the crime directly against him. It was a shrewd trick, and if they only stuck to their story, ought t o succeed. He had no evidence, other than his own word, and the marshal bad already taken from bis pockets the papers belonging to the slain man. He had not found the locket bidden under bis shirt, yet a more thorough search would doubtless repeal that also. Even should the case come to trial, how would It be possible for him to establish Innocence, and—would It ever come to trial? Keith knew the character of the frontier, and of Careen City, t h e inclination of Its citizens in such cases was to act first, and reflect latex,. ^ The law had but slender bold, being; respected only when backed by the strong hand, and primitive-instincts were always in tbe a§cta4ency', requiring merely a leader t o break forth hi open violence. And in this ease would there be any lack of leadership7 Like a flash his mind reverted to "Black Bart- There was the man capable of inciting a mob. If, for some unknown reason, he had suftsfent Interest to A wear out the warfsBt and assist in the arrest, he would ••fro equal cause to serve those fel- % * # behind him In other ways. Nat* m n y , they would dread a trial, with its possibility of exposure, and eagerly creep any opportunity for wiping the elate clean. Their real security from discovery undoubtedly lay In his death, and with the "Red Light" crowd behind them they would experience no trouble in getting a following desperate enough for any portion, a fighter by instinct and so long accustomed to danger that the excitement of it merely put new fire into his veins. Now that he understood exactly what threatened, all numbing feeling of hesitancy and doubt vanished, and he became Instantly alive. He would not He there in that hole waiting for the formation of a mob; nor would he trust in the ability of the marshal to defend him. He had some friends without—not many, for he was but an occasional visitor at Carson—who would rally to Hick'B assistance, but there would not be enough on the side of law and order to overcome the "Red, Light" outfit, if once they scented blood. If he Was to be saved from their clutches, he must save himself; if his innocence was ever established it would be by his own exertions—and he could accomplish this only out yonder, free under the arch of ;ky. He lifted his head, e v e r y nerve tingling with desperate determination. Tbe low growl of voices was audible through tbe partition, but there was no other sound. Carson City was still resting, and there would be no crowd nor excitement until much later. Not until nightfall would any attack be attempted; he had six or eight hours yet in which to perfect bis plans. He Aunt Caton's house servant, a black Imp of good humor, who begged so hard to be taken back with him to the war. Why, the boy had held his stirrup the next morning when he rode away. The sudden rush of recollection seemed to bridge tbe years, and that black faae became familiar, a memory of home. "Of course, I remember, Neb," he exclaimed, eagerly, "but that's all years ago and I never expected to see you again. What brought you West and got you into this hole?" The negro hitched J up onto the bench, the whites of his eyes conspicuous as he stared uneasily about—he had a short, squatty figure, with excessively broad shoulders, and a face of intense good humor. "I reck'n dat am consider'ble ob a story, Massa Jack, de circumlocution "I tell you', Massa Jack, it was mighty lonely fo' Neb dem days. 1 didn't know whar any ob yo' all was, an' it wan't no fun fo' dls nigger belu' free dat away. I got out ter Independence, Missouri, an' was roustaboutin' on de ribber, when a couple ob men come along what wanted a cook to trabbel wid 'em. I took de job, an' dat's what fetched me here ter Carson City." "But what caused your arrest?" "A conjunction ob circumstances, Massa Jack; yes, sah, a conjunction ob circumstances. I got playin' pokah ober in dat 'Red Light," an' I was doin' fine. I reckon I'd cleaned up mo'n a hundred dollars when I got sleepy, an' started fo' camp. I'd most got dar w'en a bunch ob low white trash jumped me. It made me mad, it did fo' a fact, an' I reckon I carved some ob which would take a heap ob time ob 'em up befo' I got away.

When de Yankees come snoopln* long de East Sho'—I reck'n maybe it des a yeah after dat time when we done buried de ol' Co'nel—dey burned Missus Caton's house clah to de groun'; de ol' Missus was in Richmond den, an' de *ew niggers left jest natchally took to de woods. 14went into Richmond huntin' de ol' Missus, but, Lawd, Massa Jack,, •nv \ ' % &s^;' The longer Keith thought the less he doubted the .result It was not then a problem of defence, bet of escape, JOT be believed now that no opportunity to defend himself would ever be allowed.

Modest Verso Writer Who Assumed Pen Name for Fear People Would Not Hire "Fool'Poet" as Attorney. "Oh, De Good Lawd, Dat Am Massa Waite an' John 81bley." ran his eyes about the room searching for some spot of weakness. It was dark back of the bench, and he turned in that direction. Leaning over, he looked down on the figure of a man curled up, sound asleep on the floor. The fellow's limbs twitched as if in a dream, otherwise he might have deem* ed blm dead, as his face was burled in his arms. A moment Keith hesitated; then be reached down and shook the sleeper, until he aroused sufficiently to look up. It was the face of a coal-black negro. An in* stent the fellow stared at the man towering over blm, his thick lips parted, his eyes full of sudden terror. Then he sat up, with hands held be* fore him as though warding off a blow. "FO* de Lawd's sake," he managed to articulate finally, "am dls sbo» yo', Massa Jack?" Keith, to whom all colored people were much alike, laughed ajt the expression on the negro's face.

The One Way. Keith said nothing for some moments, staring up at the light stealing in through the window grating, his mind once again active. The e y e s o f the black man h~ad the patient look of a dog as they watched; evidently he had cast aside all responsibility, how that this other had come. Finally Keith spoke slowly: "We are in much the same position. Neb, and the fate of one is liable to be the fate of both. This la my story" —and briefly as possible, he ran over the circumstances which had brought ~hTnT~there, nTrrtltrg~th~e~gltuatlun clear enough for the negro's understanding, without wasting any time upon detail. Neb followed his recital with bulging eyes, and an occasional exclamation. At the end he burst forth: "Yo' say dar was two ob dem white men murdered—one an ol' man wid a gray beard, an' de odder 'bout thirty? Am dat It, Massa Jack, an' dey had fo' span ob mules, an' a runnin' hoss?" "Yes." "An' how far out was it?" "About sixty miles." "Oh, de good Lawd!" and the negro threw up his hands dramatically.

" ^ \ Neb nodded, overborne^ by the discovery. - " ^ \ "But what caused them to run^such a risk?" Keith insisted. "Didn't they" know the Indians were on the war path?" "Sho"; I heard 'em talkin' 'bout dat, but Massa Waite was JeBt boun' foh to git movin'.

Fort Scott, Kan.—Kansas lost her poet laureate when Kugene F. Ware died at his summer home in Colorado and western literature lost one of its brightest geniuses. Ware, known as "Ironquill," was a harness maker, li^vyer, politician and poet. In the minds of his friends the last should come first, but personally he always belittled his ability as a poet, and instead of being proud of his success he spoke disparagingly of his verses. In this he was alone. He came to this city in 1867 and began to work at his trade as a harness maker. A competitor was advertising, so Ware had to do the same. He went his competitor several better by writing bis advertisements in verse. This attracted attention and he went to Topeka, where he wrote poetry and studied law, keeping his identity as a poet under cover. His explanation for this was: "I was afraid people wouldn't hire a fool poet for a lawyer." There were plenty of harness makers, but very few lawyers in Fort Scotf and that was the reason Ware deserted the stitching horse of his shop and took up the study of law, In his profession he was successful. As he practiced law he played the po- J. P1BREPONT, NO pOUlT* Smith—My boy thinks hell be a pirate when he grows up. Jones—Thinks there is more money In piracy than anything else, eh?

After two years in Washington he returned to Kansas and took up his residence in Kansas City, Kan. Tiring of city life, he retired shortly before his death to Sungold Section, a fine farm he acquired when he first came to Kansas, and there he told his friends he hoped "to die In tho open." His plans to die on the farm failed, for he passed away soon after reaching Colorado, where he had been In the habit of spending the summers at a place he owned on the Cascade. He was well entitled to the appointment of pension commissioner, for during the Civil war he had a brilliant, career covering four years and ending as captain of a troop In the Sfevciirh Iowa cavalry. For brre-^irlef period Captain Ware was in the newspaper business. This was in Burlington, ia^^where for a time, he waB assistant edttor^of the Hawkeye and started that pap&TM?n its road to celebrity as a funny paperT When Captain Ware1 retired "Bob" Burdette succeeded him and the paper became much quoted for its funny sayings. Ware was born in 1841 in Hartford, Conn,, and was married in 1874 to Miss Jeanette B. Huntington. For many years he was a familiar figure in Topeka during session of the Kansas legislature and his wit and humor made him much beloved, both by pollcal friends and opponents. He was a member of tbe legislature in the early '80s. When he left the office of pension commissioner he wanted to show his appreciation of 12 heads of departments under him. He bought 12 handsome pieces of silver, exactly alike, called the 12 men into bis office where the souvenirs were lined up on a table and said: "Gentlemen. You have been good to me. Help yourselves." The appointment of Ware to be commissioner of pensions was due to Roosevelt's admiration for his poems. In 1900, when Roosevelt was on his way to the southwest to attend a reunion of Rough Riders, he expressed a desire to meet "Ironquill" and a message was sent to Ware asking him to meet the train and travel with the president. He did so and the friendship between the Rough Rider colonel and the frontier poet was promptly evident and sincere. Three years later Ware was appointed commissioner of pensions. He leaves a widow, one son, Eugene F\ Ware, Jr., and three daughters, Mrs. Abble Neiss of New York, Mrs. S. R. Nelson and Miss Amelia Ware. Teeth and Baldness.

It took me mostly all over my back and kept getting worse until finally my back was covered with a mass of pimples which would burn and itch at night so that I could hardly stand it. This condition kept getting worse and worse until my back was a solid mass of big sores which would break open and run. My underclothing would be a clot of blood. "I tried various remedies and salves for nearly three years and I was not getting any benefit. It seemed I was In eternal misery and could not sleep on my back or lean on a chair. I was finally given a set of the Cuticura Remedies and inside of two weeks I could see and feel a great relief. I kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment and also the Resolvent, and in about three or four months' time my back was nearly cured and I felt like a new being. Now I am in good health and no sign of any skin diseases and I am fully satisfied that Cuticura Remedies a r e the best ever made for skin diseases. I would not be without them." (Signed) W. A.

"If you wian them to mate don't let thftn know It Nothing keepe young people apart like trying to bring them together." "Fve no hope of their getting to* gether. They're both so bashful they don't dare look at each other." "Let 'em alone, and if they have a natural attraction for each other they will make it up in time. Better still, tell tbem that not on any account sh,all they fall tn love, that there is a special reason why they must not marry." "Nonsense! They're too bashful to get together anyway. I don't care to put anything else between 'em to keep 'em apart." But Mrs. Hathaway noticed that the young people needed some spice to move them toward each other, aa4«sja>i concluded to try her husbansVe .atofe She railed her daughter to her one-dejp and told ber that she was not to take any interest in Howard, since on no account could, she marry him. She would have said the same to Howard, but it is not a very pleasant thing to tell a young man that he must not think of marrying one's daughter, especially when that young man has shown no predilection for her. When Mrs. Hathaway had given Effle this hit of information she told her husband what she had done. At the time he was shaving. MPa," she said, "I've warned Bffle." "About whatr "Not to fall in love with Howard.** "How did she take it?" **8he acted kind of funny." "What do you mean by that?" "She caught her breath." "That would indicate that she has already cast covetous eyes upon him."

"Wen, my dear, I hope you'll get him for her. r m going downtown." • few days later conversation on the same subject w a s reopened by Mrs, Hathaway. Mr. Hathaway was reeding his evening paper. "Pa," she said, "those two children make me tired.'* "What's the matter sow?" "Oh. yesterday I told them tbey might take Bob and the box and go for a drive together. she didn't like driving, and Howard said be bad a baseball mates on Tea needn't ten mo that tern taaafs Uke tbem woahf dssams a a of. fat tabs taastksf far a other."

I mean they looked as If they wanted to, but didn't dare." "Well, my dear, If you can't manage tbem I can't." And Mr. Hathaway went upstairs to bed. Their bashfulness or whatever 1L_L was seemed to Increase Instead of diminish. The "children" didn't seem to get together at all. If Mrs. Hathaway went into the room where they were she would find Howard residing a book at one end of the room, while Bffle would be cutting out pictures at the other end. Then she would wonder if the child would erer grow to be a woman. If Howard was ever at the house to a meal be and Bffle would sit mum on either etde of the table, never venturing a remark except to one of the olftto&^eople. On one occasion Howattsjsaw something and Effle corrected bftto. Howard averred that he whs right about it. Bffle offered to bet him. She was thinking what to bet him when her father, winking at her mother, said: "Bet him a kiss, Eff." Bffle colored to the roots of her hair <and Howard looked as if he were going to bolt "There," said Mrs. Hathaway to her husband, "you're spoiled everything. Those two children will never be easy in each other's company again." Tbe next time Mrs. Hathaway had anything to say to her husband on this subject—it was bur"-4hree days later—her tone was changed. "Pa," she said. "I must have some money." "How much do you want, my dear." "I think about $600 will do. though really I ought to bave more." "What is It to go for?" "Why, you see, Effle hasn't bad any- Ihing new for a long while and she hasn't a respectable costume to her name." "It Isn't for a trousseau, is it?" "Yes. it Is." "Ton don't mean those two children are engaged?" "No. Idoat" "Well, what do you mean?" "I mean they've been married erer since I first spoke to you about them."
