Every state East of the Mississippi River except Vermont, South Carolina, Kentucky,. Tennessee, Florida-, Mississippi and Illinois have provided state pftoatoria. In Vermont, a private sanatorium is partially used as a state institution, and in Florida, an indefinate provision for such a hospital has been made. The states west of the Mississippi river which have established state sanatoria are, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri* Arkansas, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana and Oregon- There are 39 sanatoria provided by these states, Connecticut having three, Massaohnesete four, Pennsylvania three and Texas two. New York state leads in municipal and county hospitals for tuberculosis, having 34, while Ohio, the second on the list has 17, and Massachussets the third, has 9. In these 26 states, which are the only ones having any municipal or county earn for tuberculosis, there are 114 hospitals, i n c l u d i n g special pavilions and almhouses. Hardly more than one-tenth of the cities of 30,000 , population and over, make any local provision for tuberculosis cases, and not onetwentieth of the less populous districts make such provision. In addition to the state, municipal, and county ho3pitaler the federal gwerment provides for certain selected classes in the United States army Hospital at Fort Bayard, N. Mex., the United States Public Health and Marine Hospital Service Sanatorium at Ft Stanton, N. Mex., the United States Navy Hospital at Las Animas, Colo., and in five special hospitals for Indians on different reservations in the west. Apart from these institutions, and a few special pavilions, hospitals for the insane, and some other public institutions, and a grand total of hardly 200, the institutional care of the consumptive is left to private philanthropy. With 200,000 deaths from consumption every year, and mora than that number of living cases, to poor to pay for their care in private institutions, the National Association says that unleaa the cities, counties and states reelisetheir duty and provide adequate local hospital accomodations for these consumptives, the disease can never be stamped out '•.n • i » '• ..1 iVT^' WHEELS KM COMPLlTllV UNDER BODY You can spread1 manure evenly—the way to get the biggest results— with a Fearless.

He resolves to hunt down the murderers. CHAPTER III.—(Continued.) The trail, continually skirting the high bluff and bearing farther away from the river, turned sharply Into a narrow ravine. There WHB a considerable break in the rocky barrier here, leading back for perhaps a bun d*ed yards, and the plainsman turned his horse that way. dismounting when out of sight among the boulders. He j could rest here until night with little j danger of discovery. He lay down on ! the rocks, pillowing his head on the saddle, but his brain was too active j to permit sleeping Finally he drew j the letters from out his pocket, and j began examining them. They yield-j ed very little information, those taken from the older man having no envelope* to show to whom they h. 1 , been addressed. The single document found in the pocket of the other was a memorandum of account at the Pioneer Store at Topeka, charged to John Sibley, and marked paid This then -HHiet have been the younger man's name, as the letters to the other began occasionally "Dear Will." j They were missives such as a wife might write to a husband long absent, yet upon a mission of deep interest to both. Keith could not fully determine what this mission might be. as the persons evidently understood each other no thoroughly that mere allusion took the place of detail Twice the name Phyllis was mentioned, and once a "Fred" was also referred to. but in neither instance clearly enough to reveal the relationship, although the latter appeared to be pleaded forr"~Certaln references caused the belief that these letters had been mailed from some small Missouri town, but no name was mentioned They were invariably signed "Mary." The only other paper Keith discovered was a brief itinerary of the Santa Fe trail extending as far west as the Raton Mountains, giving the usual camping spots and places where of it now was almost a shock-the miserable shacks, the gaudy saloon fronts, the littered streets, the dingy, unpainted hotel, the dirty flap of canvas, the unoccupied • road, the dull water was accessible. He slipped th« j prairie sweeping away to the horizon, papers back into his pocket with a p|| composed a hideous picture bedistinct feeling of disappointment, j urath the sun glare.

"Keith knows me. ah' expects a fair deal Still." maybe 1 better ask yer to unhitch yer belt, Jack." A moment Keith seemed to hesitate, plainly puzzled by the situation and endeavoring to see Some way of escape; then his lips smiled, and he silently unhooked the belt, handing it over.

Keith stared at him too completely astounded for the instant to even speak. Then he gasped. "For God's sake, Hicks, do you believe that?" "I'm damned if I know," returned the marshal, doubtfully. "Don't seem like ye'd do it, but the evidence is straight 'nough, an' thar ain't nothin' fer me ter do but take ye in. I airi't no Jedge an' Jury."

Suddenly it dawned upon him where he had seeu that dark-skinned face, with the black goatee, before—at the faro table of the "Red Light." He gripped his hands together, instantly connecting that sneering, sinister face with the plot. "Who swore out that warrant?" "I did. If you need to know," a sarcastic smile revealing a gleam of white teeth, "on the affidavit of others, friends of mine." "Who are you?" "I'm mostly called 'Black Bart." '* That was it; he had the name now —"Black Bart." He straightened up so quickly, his eyes blazing, that the marshal jerked his gun clear. "See here, Jack," shortly, "are yer goin' to raisa a row, or come along quiet?" As though the words had aroused him from a bad dream, Keith turned to front the stern, bearded face. "There'll be no row. Bob," he said, quietly, "I'll go with you." (TO B E CONTINUED.) JEW IN PLACE OF °0WER As Governor of Egypt, Sir Matthew Nathan Would Occupy Position Once Held by Joseph. Should Sir Matthew Nathan, former governor of.Natal, be appointed to succeed Sid Eldon Gorst as governor of Egypt, history will have tRken one of those curious turns that set agog the diBcerners of signs and omens, for this appointment that is pending would place in supreme administrativecontrol of Egypt the second Jew in four thousand years. Sir Matthew Nathan would be the successor to Joseph of his race ln the administration of a country that in the time of Pharoah, who befriended Joseph, waB the granary of the world, and in these later days Is becoming one of the most significant countries of modern times Those who con the sacred Bcrlptures for cues for the turns history may make will seize upon this incident as fulfilling one or another prediction or fancied prediction of th* past, and much may be built upon it In fact, it will be but a coincidence, but one of unusual interest, however. The practical import will be. that Sir Matthew Nathan is reckoned a fine administrator and worthy bf all honor. GERMANY WISHES TO AVOID GIVING ENGLAND AN EXCUSE FOR INTERVENTION. } GERMANY HAS MODIFIED DEMANDS, RELIEVING SITUATION. Great Britain Will Not Intervene So Long as Germany and France Are Trying to 8et-tle the Matter Directly. It is believed in official circles that France and Germany will be able to untie the Moroccan knot by direct negotiations and without opening the doors to the participation of Great Britain and the' other powers. Rosy optimism, however, is not manifested. The German foreign office was fully prepared for Premier Aaquith's statement and now confirms that it had earlier assurances that Great Britain would not intervene so long as Germany and France were trying to settle the matter directly, and also that Chancellor Lloyd George's speech was not meant as a veto of a Franco- German arrangement on the basis ofa French-Congo understanding, as a section of the British press has intimated. Greater optimism regarding the Moroccan trouble prevailed at the French capital, though it was admitted that the negotiations with Germany remain difficult.

Portugal Fears Revolt. The monarchist invasion of Portttgal from the north, to be followed by a peasant rising, which has been expected daily, has not yet materialized. The monarchist agents permit the information that first one day and then another has heen fixed for the outbreak to fall into the hands of the government. The provisional administration thus Is kept in a state of uneasiness and is obliged to maintain expenslye_measures for defense.

In the fire which destroyed Oscodaand Au Snble, W. McGillivray, publisher of the Press, lost his entire printing plant. He will resume publication in about a month, and the news is encouraging for the rebuilding of the towns. The fishing business will amount to about $3,000 per year. A logging railroad runs out of the town about. 60 miles, which wlTl convey supplies for the construction of a'big dam. The Cook Site dam is nearly completed and another will be started at once. The Loud Company will begin operations In the lumber business as soon as their insurance is adjusted, It is not expected that they will operate on as large a scale as formerly, and they will employ about 60 men. A largo canning factory, which had just started operation, will be rebuilt. The future of the town is not blasted by the fire, as it is the center of supplies for a dozen little hamlets in the Au Sable valley. The summer resort business is quite an item of income to the'people, and has heen increasing. The first reports were that, the towns would not be rebuilt, but surrounded as they are by a pood farming coun-\ try they will certainly become active and enterprising places again.

'J - .-*< 7,T^->, '* * , V '•JlX-'.V..,, Medium Typ« Yorkshire Suited to Michigan Conditions. Up to the present time the pork production of Michigan has come largely from lard type hogs such aa the Poland China, Chester White and Duroc Jersey. These breeds are rather compact of conformation, quick maturing apd furnish carcasses covered with deep layers of fat. In the past there has been a keen demand for the lard hog, but necessities and tastes are changing. Animal fats are being rapidly replaced by vegetable and mineral oils for domestic purposes and also those of lubrication. The consumer Is also demanding a leaner pork, especially bacon. It Is true that there Is a large demand for lard and that this will still continue, but Michigan should leave the production of the lard hog quite largely to the corn belt, where it coin be produced economically In great abundance. The state of Michigan is possessed production of prime bacon on account of the availability of dairy by-product and the universal possibilities of pro- The two breeds of hogs most commonly known as bacon types are the Yorkshires and Tamworth, of which the latter is the nio't extreme. As a rule those accUKtomed'to the compact la I'd types do not like the appearance of the bacon types which are longer of limb, lighter of ham and shoulder, less broad on the back and longer in the nose. It has been universally charged against the bacon type hogs that more feed is required for a given Increase in weight than with the lard types, but of all the numerous experiments made by experiment stations none affirm the general belief. With such wonderfully well suited natural conditions for bacon production, Michigan should take up this specialty and cease competing with the western corn belt in lard production. It may be difficult for the farmer to turn suddenly from one extreme type to another and for this reason we are Inclined to suggest a gradual transition by way of intermediate types. By intermediate types we mean such as are represented by the accompanying Illustration of a York shire, too short of limb, compact, heavy of ham and shoulder and thick EARLY CAREER OF NORDICA of conditions eminently adapted to the -of back to win in a Yorkshire ring with a competent judge.

So much already has been said concerning the filthy habits of house flies and the danger of their carrying diseases that a suggestion on how to keep them out of the home may be welcomed and ma&e use of. Methods of poisoning and killing, while good and necessary, must always be done In the house and in this are a disagreeable annoyance. The trap described in our illustration is a large form of a very old scheme which was not a success formerly because made too small and used In the house. ' The trap shown in the illustration, is made of common wire screen, such as is used for doors and windows. The top and bottom of the frame are made from nail keg hoops and the •three uprights from lath cut in two. A wire cone is built inside this cylinder and extends about half way to the top of the trap. An opening about one inch in diameter Is cut in the apex of the cone, and it is through this that the flies, enter the trap. This cone should be made first and tacked on the outside of the bottom hoop before the outer cylinder of screen Is put o»v The cut edges of the screen $an be tacked to the lath thus making It fly tight. The top can be closed by tying a cloth oyer it which can be removed when the trap is emptied. The uprights should extend one-half on Tamworth sows gives an excellent Intermediate type. Prolificacy, abundant milk production and good motherhood are present in high degree in the Tamworth females, the same being also true of Yorkshires. inch below the lower hoop, thus hold ing the trap up from the floor and allowing flieB and other Insects to crawl under and reach the bait. The trap should be set up in some sunny place near the back door or in the stable where1 flies are thick, and baited with such material as Is known to attract flies. The trap operates successfully when rotting fruit is placed on the floor under it, because the flies will come to it and later light on the Inside of /the cone and later crawl up through the opening above. An Effective Fly Trap. If plenty of new bait, such as sweetened refuse from the kitchen, is placed under the trap every day quantities of flies will be captured and will soon die and fall to the bottom. A trap observed by the writer contained over one quart of flies on the second day after setting up. Grading and Picking of Fruits Br C P. HALUGAN, At***t ifofertrtefW Mithitf* Tarm Sthtd. Michigan fruit growers are about to harvest a bountiful crop of fruit. Most kinds at present seem to be prime condition, especially that which has been well sprayed and cultivated. Many growers will fail to receive the full value of their crops, however, through carelessness in grading and packing. Grading is something which cannot be overdone. The more rigidly it la performed the better it pays. With the prospects of a heavy crop, which means a well supplied market, much of the poorer grades or carelessly packed fruit will be shiped at a toss. Good grading require* good judgment and experience. All unmarketable specimens should • first be discarded. Unfortunately teest of <mr ttodfofc'. stop* here A> wel 1 grated package of fruit, however, consists not only of marketable specimens, but * f specimeas of uniform size, uniform color, uniform quality and of a nnilonn degree of freedom from inlory,, ttafformity then aa to all of that bigness of size is the desired character, but fruit of medium size, uniformly graded, is more to be desired than large fruit mixed with smaller specimens. The profits from fruit also depend a great deal upon the package. A light, neat, uniform and attractive package which sets off the fruit to Advantage should always be selected. There is a great deal of .truth in the old saying that, "The package pells the fruit." It would pay moat Gllmore Told Her She Would Be Crowned Queen of Song in America. In the first series of articles describing the girlhood of great singers, the Woman's Home Companion tells of Muie. Norr1 tea's experience with Mme. Tietjens. the dramatic soprano. It was in Boston, where Lillian Norton (that being Nordica's real name) was then studying. Mice. Tiejens, who had come to the city to sing in opera, sent a message to the conservatory asking to hear any student with unusual voice and talent. Nordica was sent in response, her mother going with her. The visit was made on a matinee day and the prima donna to spare herself deputed her sister to receive them. Though regretting^ lost opportunity the aspirant started to sing. Before she had got very far a door opened softly, then was thrown wide "and Tletjens entered. In her enthusiasm she took the accompanist's place at the piano. "Work ahead and you will be great." she said simply. Being warm hearted, she added: "When you come to London I will help you," That friendly offer was unfortunately never realized, for Mme. Tietjens died not long after. ^ "While they were talking a little old lady came in, a harpist at that time in the orchestra. Mme. Maretzek, widow of the impresario. She had been a prima donna. Her interest took a practical turn. 'Come to me on Staten Island next summer/ she generously offered, 'and I will coach you in your roles." "That summer Nordica studied 20 roles. In the autumn she came out In concert in New York with Brignoli and in the early spring following was fairly lavmched on her career as soloist with Gilmore's bard, an organization ranking with Sousa's. The test was strenuous for one so young—often two concerts a day and arduous travel, for they toured the whole country. "Gilmore, with his warm, Irish heart, recognizing her gifts as well as her pluck, once exclaimed: 'You will yet be crowned Queen of Song in your own country.' Years later Mme. Nordica recalled his words when a diamond tiara from American admirers was passed over the footlights to her at the Metropolitan Opera h o u s e i n New York." M A R £ U 8 B , CALIFORNIA, LAND FOB PROFITABLE FARMING. Marcuse Colony, located in Sutter County, which is in the heart of the Sacramento Valley, is fast coming to the trout W,a/farming community in which nearly every agricultural product known may be successfully raised without irrigation. The soil Is a dark, sandy loans, sedimentary in character, level and well drained. It has the advantage over other soils in that it is loose in character and superior to heavy soil*. With this wealth of soil, abundance of water, unexcelled climate and long growing beason, Marcuse Colony is the ideal place for the horoeseeker with limited means, the worn out professional man, or the young man looking for a small farm in a healthful climate. The proximity of Marcuse Colony to Sacramento, furnishes a ready market for vegetables, poultry, eggs and dairy products. Fruits, vegetables, alfalfa, grains and grasses and poultry yield large returns. The rainfall is certain and drought is unknown. Land is yet moderately priced, but crop failures in other sections of the United States will bring new settlers in rapidly. This, together with the holding of the Panama Pacific Exposition in San Francisco during 1915, is bound to raise the price, and whether for a home, or tor an investment, now is the time to purchase.

No test of human endurance from the physical standpoint can compare in severity with that imposed upon the workers In the Pteel and iron mills of the Pittsburg district, declares a writer in Current Literature. By a singilar paradox an idea prevails among the workers themselves that these labors of theirs are healthful. The whole subject has just been investigated with pains and thoroughness by the expert of the New York state department of labor, John A. Fitch, who finds the workers for The" most part healthy, but he suspects that this excellent physical condition i s , due to the precautions taken by the men, and not to the capacity they possess for withstanding the terrific strain to which they are subjected daily. The severity of the strain Itself is due to the incredible heat, imposing, as It does, the most tremendous of all physical tests to which the human organism is subjected in any form of recognized human activity. What Mr. Fitch has to say on the subject is confirmed by the best medical opinion he was enabled to consult in the course of the long Btudy of conditions made for the Russell Sage foundation.

It will probably be an item of news to most of our readers that our genial postmaster is not compelled to make change for you when you make purchases at Undo Sam's office. This is a queer rule that not one in a thousand persons know. Buyers of stamps or any purchases at a postoffice must furnish his own change, i. e>, the postmaster could insist on the buyer furnishing his own change if he sees fit to do it; but, usually the postmaster is glad enough to get rid of his "chicken feed," and he is always ready and willing to accommodate the publio by making all the change it asks for. If a man wishes to bny fifty cents worth of stamp i and had but a silver dollar, he would be compelled to buy a dollar's worth of stamps or go and get his silver dollar changed or do without the stamps if the postmaster was stubborn and refused to make change* for him.

Oaaraateed by W.JsV Brown tbs druggist, The Pardon Paperweight. Under the headline "A Queer Municipal Grift" a Vienna paper tells tbls story: "In the year 18& a private soldier atatseaed at Sass killed an officer of his regiment sod was condemned to he shot. Comrades who knew the extenuating* circumstances, friends, priests, relatives—all pleaded in vain for mercy, the colonel in Whose hands the matter rested insisting on the death penalty. The day came and the man was taken to the place of execution. Six members of hto regiment, armed with rifles, one oxHrfilclPcoatained. a blank cartridge, took their places as executioners. The man's eyes were bandaged and with'arms securely pinioned he stood randy for the volley, shouting 'Comrades, aim well!' when a mounted courier dashed into the crowd waiving a white flag, crying 'Pardon!' He was Lieutenant Baron du Mont, with the colonel's pardon, which would have been useless had it arrived one minute later. The municipality secured the five bullets from the firing squad, had them silvered and mounted in the form of a tiny pyramid on a silver plate, and this, suitably inscribed, is known as the 'pardon paperweight,' the only one of its kind." The Uaeful Crocodile Fiah. In the rivers and lakes of the Mexican state of Tabasco there swims a fish known as the "crocodile fish" which is most useful to man. The skin of the crocodile fish, if properly cured, may be Utilized for any of the purposes for which the lighter weights of leather are employed. The oil of the crocodile fish is a perfect lubricant and also used for softening leather. In addition to its qualities as a lubricant and emolient. the oil possesses medicinal qualities for which a superiority to the finest of Norwegian cod liver is claimed. The flesh of the crocodile fish is extensively used by the natives as food and highly relished by them as one of the delicacies of the country. Crocodile fish range in length from ten inches to four feet, and when dried assume an ashen hue, with lighter shadings of a bluish tint.—New Orleans Times-Democrat. Poor Human Nature. The woman who had succeeded in that rather difficult task—making a boarding house pay—was confiding to a friend some of the tricks of the trade. "While you must never allow your boarders to get too far behind in their payments, it is also true that you will profit considerably by allowing them a little leeway. So long as you are sure OF your money it pays a landlady to have her boarders a week or two behind in their board." "I don't see that," interrupted her tinm friend. — "Well, I'll tell you," continued the landlady. "When a man owes back board you have him at a certain disadvantage. Not one in a hundred under such tircumstances has the nerve at mealtimes to ask for a second helping.— New York Times. The Human Lobster. The lobster has always appealed to the Englishman as affording a nickname for bis fellow Englishman. "Lobster" was a favorite term of abuse among the Elizabethans, though it is only conjectural that an allusion to red faces was conveyed. As signifying a soldier, "lobster" originated in the civil war, being applied to the Roundhead cuirassiers, as Clarendon explains, "because of the bright iron shells with which they were covered." Afterward the allusion was transferred to the soldier's red uniform. But that waa the "boiled lobster." The "raw lobster" was naturally the man in blue, the policeman. In earlier days we find Grose explaining that "to boil one's lobster" meant for a clergyman to become a soldier.—London Chronicle. The Man With the Iron Mask. The Man With the Iron Mask was a mysterious French prisoner of state, whose Identity has never been satisfactorily established. He was closely confined under the charge of M. de St. Mars at Pignerol in 1679, at Exiles in 1681, at Sainte-Marguerite in 1687 and finally was transferred to the Bastile in 1698. where he died on Nov. 19, 1703. and was burled the following tu a • u A _ -_i— TO Aiday in the cemetery of St. Paul under tbe Bpamsn-Amerlcan War, and<>the n a m e ^ MarchialL Dumas made him a twin brother of Louis XIV. is A Veloane.

When the -widow Turner was left to care for herself she possessed sixty acres of sterile land, a wretched old cabin, a mule and a cow. She had always worked In the nejd with her husband. She was a large, bony woman, unable to read or write, and tbe very homeliest among a lot of homely women. No one predicted that she would marry again, and she had no encouraging. thoughts herself. Sh«» lived atone, and all tbe farm work was dune by her ffwn lianu^. When tbe oil excitement got started, all the landowners around the widow Turner sold out She alone held ou. She was offered five times what lier farm was considered worth, but she shook ber head. As a matter of fact, she was frightened. Then along came a tin peddler. She had dealt with blm before and found him honest She told him her troubles, and he said: "Widow, I am going to talk plainly to you. You are as ignorant as a mule and as homely as a stump fence." "I know it," was the answer. "If things bad run along as they were going you couldn't have found a man in the United States to marry you." "I admit .that" "But now you can. You can not only find a husband, but money with him. Let me tell you what to do." They had a long conversation, and the result of it was that when an of* fer for tbe farm was renewed next day It was accepted with tC proviso. The widow demanded $50,000 in cash and a bosband. It was acceded to at once. It would be very easy to find a man to marry her and run away afterward. .Plenty—of them could $0 Hired fori $2,000. But tbe widow wanted an acceptable husband. That was different. Thirty men were paraded betore her, and she rejected every one. The capitalists had figured on a soft thing and got left. After two months' search and after fifty men had been brought forward one was found to fill the bill. He was no scrub. On the contrary, be, was a broken down gentleman.

Animals on pasture naturally take exercise. It is not the best practice to feed silage exclusively. The pig should be kept growing from start to finish. Animals should be kept out of doors as much as possible. The best way to prevent hog cholera Is to keep the germs away from the hog. The first and most important thing In raising hogs successfully is to have good stock. Ydung colts should not be left out in the pasture until they begin to get low in flesh. The pigs should bo taught to eat as soon as possible, slop being the principal feed.

It was in reply to a resolution of the senate reguesting the president to transmit to the senate all the documents relating to the elimination from the Chugach national forest, in Alaska, of land fronting upon Controller bay. Mr. Taft seizes the occasion occasion to make a vigorous defense of his own honor and that of his brother, Charles P. Taft, against the attacks made in relation to this Controller bay "scandal." The president sent in all the documents asked for, and more, and 8uotes the executive order in question, by which 12,800 acres were eliminated from the national forest. His message describes the importsnee of Controller bay as a railway terminal and relates the operations of the Copper River railroad, owned by the Morgan-Guggenheim interests, whose terminal is at Cordova. Ryan'* Application Investigated. In December, 1909, Richard S. Ryan applied for the Controller bay elimination, afterward granted," stating that he represented the Controller Railroad and Navigation company. Mr. Talt tells how this application was referred to the district foresters at Portland, Ore., and in Alaska and vas approved by Chief Forester trlbuted to a newspaper correspondent that in an examination of the files of the interior department a few weeks ago a postscript was found attached to a letter of July 13, 1910, addressed by Mr. Richard 8. Ryan to Secretary Ballinger—and in the present record —urging the elimination of land enough for terminals for the Controller Railway & Navigation company. The postscript was said to read as follows: "Dear Dick: I want to see the president the other day. He asked me who It was I represented. I told him according to our agreement, that I represented myself. But that didn't seem to satisfy him. So I sent for Charlie Taft and asked him to tell his brother, the president, who it was I really represented. The president made no further objection to ray claim. Yours, DICK." Uses Strong Language. "The postscript is not now on the files of the department. If It were, it would be my duty to transmit it under this resolution. Who is really responsible for its wicked fabrication if it ever existed, or for the viciously false statement made as to Its authenticity, is immaterial for the purposes of this communication. The purport of the alleged postscript is, and the intention of the fabricator was, to make the latter was away for his vacation for two months, must Impress •veryone. Places the Blame. "The person upon whose statement the existence of what has been properly characterized as an amazing postscript is based, is a writer for newspapers and magazines, who was given permission by Secretary Fisher, after consulting with me, to examine all the ftltm \n rampant tn thm Pnntunilaj fiB» ~ matter—and this under the supervision of Mr. Brown, then private secretary of the secretary of the interior. After the examination, at which it is alleged this postscript was received from the band of Mr. Brown, the correspondent prepared an elaborate article on the subject of thiB order and Controller Bay, which was submitted to Mr. FiHher, and which was discussed with Mr. Fisher at length, but never in the conversation between them or in the article submitted did the correspondent mention the existence of the postscript. Mr. Brown states that there was no such postscript in the papers when he showed them to the correspondent and that he never saw such a postscript. Similar evidence is given by Mr.'Carr and other custodians of the records in the interior department. "Stronger evidence of the falsity and maliciously slanderous character of the alleged postscript could not be had. Its only significance is the light It throws on the bitterness and venom of some of those who take active part in every discussion of Alaskan issues. Seandal-Mongering Denounced. "I am in full sympathy with the concern of reasonable and patriotic men that the valuable resources of Alaska should not be turned over to be ex plotted for the profit of greedy, absorbing and monopolistic corporations or syndicates. Whatever the attempts which have been made, no one, as a matter of fact, has secured in Alaska any undue privilege or franchise not completely under the control of congress.

As a reBult, after an interclew between the president and Mr. Ryan, an order was drafted eliminating 320 acres. Meanwhile Mr. Ryan had satisfied '.he president and other officials that ae and his associates had no connection with the Morgan-Guggenheim interests and were engaged in an Inlependent enterprise in good faith to auild an independent railroad. The question again came before the cabinet, and the president, with the approval of the secretaries of the interior and agriculture, changed the order so that It eliminated 12,800 acres, with sufficient room for & railroad town. The message says: 'I was willing to do this because I Pound the restrictions in the law sufficient to prevent the possibility of my monopoly of either the uplands ar the harbor or channel by the Controller Railroad and Navigation company or any other person or concern." These restrictions the president sets forth at length, and shows that the Ryan company has not the slightest opportunity for exclusive appropriation of the harbor facilities unless congress shall by future act Jellberately and voluntarily confer it. The "Dick to Dick" Letter. Coming to the personal side of the matter, Mr, Taft says: "Before closing, I desire to allude to a circumstance which the terms of this resolution make apt and relevant It is a widely published statement at- Cover for Bathtub.

I was at first opposed in the public Interest to granting the elimination which he requested, nevertheless through, the undue influence of my brother, Mr. Charles P. Taft, and the disclosure of the real persons 1» interest, I was Induced improperly and for the promotion of their private gain, to make the order. "The statement In so far as my brother is concerned—and that is the chief feature of the postscript—Is utterly unfounded. He never wrote to me or spoke to me in reference to Richard S. Ryan or on the subject of Controller Bay or the granting of any privileges or the making of any orders in respect to Alaska. He has no interest in Alaska, never had, and knows nothing of the circumstances connected with this transaction, He does not remember that he ever met Richard 9. Ryan. He never heard of the Controller Bay railroad until my cablegram of Inquiry •reached him, which, with his answer, is in the record. "Mr. Ballinger says in a telegram In answer to my inquiry, both of which are in the record that he never received such a postscript and that he was in Seattle on the date of July 13, when it was said to have been written. "Mr. Richard S. Ryan in a letter which he has sent me without solicitation, and which is in the record, says that he never met my brother, Mr. Charles P. Taft, and that so far as he knows, Mr. Charles P. Taft never had the slightest interest In Controller Bay, in the Controller Railway and Navigation company, or in fthy Alaskan company, and he utterly denies Writing or signing the alleged postscript.

FAR *e«ai* v+#Wv CONTROVERSY HAS BEEN ON ABOUT T H I R T E E N W E E K S . Public Sympathy Continues W i t h the Men Who Walked Out—$12,000 a Week Paid in Strike Benefits. That Grand Rapids has lost money through the big strike of furniture workers, which seems as far from settlement as ever on the part of the manufacturers, is an assured fact. The loss, although impossible to estimate in round numbers, certainly will mount in the millions, and this in spite of the fact that the controversy has been on only some 13 weeks. Since the beginning of the strike the members of the Brotherhood o f Carpenters and Joiners have been receiving union benefits—married men getting $5 a week and single men getting $4 a week. A conservative estimate will place the number of married men at 1.500 and the single men at 1,000. Taking an average wage of $11 a week it will be seen that each married man loses $5 a week, while each single man loses $6. In addition, there are the carvers, who get nothing, and the finishers, who received union benefits for awhile, but who get them no more. The common laborers get nothing, so that on the whole a conservative estimate; of the losses in wages to the men since the beginning of the strike will reach at least $300,000. The National Brotherhood of Carpenters and; Joiners has Jjeen paying on an average of $12,000 a week in strike benefits. For 13 weeks the amount would total $156,000.% The manufacturers have lost money through being forced to go outside for help, in paying for special trains to bring strike-breakers, in feeding them and housing them and in paying for guards. The outputs of the factories have been curtailed seriously, the income of the plants suffering accordingly. While the IOSK- to the manufacturers is exceedingly heavy •it is impossible to give an estimate. Gov. Osborn Warns W'ar Department. Acting on the result of an inquiry by the state board of health.

"On the other hand, the acrimony of spirit and the Intense malice that have been engendered in respect of the administration of the government In Alaska and In the consideration of measures proposed for her relief and the wanton recklessness and eagerness with which attempts have been made to besmirch the characters of high officials having to do with the Alaskan government, and even of persons not in public life, present a condition that ^ calls for condemnation and requires that the public be warned of the demoralization that has been produced by the hysterical suspicions of good people and the unscrupulous and corrupt misrepresentations of the wicked. The helpless state to which the credulity of some and the malevolent scandal- mongering of others have brought the people of Alaska in their struggle for its development ought to give the public pause, for until a juster and fairer view be taken, Investment in Alaska, which is necessary to its development, will be impossible, and honest administrators and legislators will be embarrassed in the advocacy and putting into operation of those policies in regard to the territory which are necessary to its progress and prosperity.

CHAPTER XIX.—Continued. He waited and looked at her curiously as If wondering what her answer would be. He waited some time, and then slowly she said: "I tiring.—you had better go!" "You don't mean that!" he exclaimed, In gemrine surprise. She shook her head affirmatively. "Yes, I do," she said; "your father wants you to take your position in the world, the position you are entitled to, the position your association with me prevents you from taking—" Howard drummed his fingers on the tablecloth and looked out of the window. It seemed to her that his voice no longer had* the same candid ring as he replied: "Yes, father has spoken to me about It. He wants to be friends, and I—" He paused awkwardly, and then added: "1 admit I've—I've promised to consider it, but—" Annie finished his sentence for him: "You're going to accept his offer, Howard. You owe it to yourself, to your family, and to—" She laughed as she added: "I was going to say to millions of anxiouB readers." Howard looked at her curiously. He did not know if she was jesting or in earnest. Almost impatiently he ex- •claimed: "Why do you talk In this way against .your own interests? You know I'd like to be friendly with my family, and all that. But it wouldn't be fair to you." "I'm not talking against myself, Howard. I want you to be happy, and you're not happy. You can't be happy under these conditions. Now be honest with me—can you?" "Can you?" he demanded. "No!% she answered, frankly, "not unless you are." Slowly she went on: •"Whatever happiness I've had in life I owe to you, and God knows you've had nothing but trouble from me. I did wrong to marry you, and I'm willing to.pay the penalty. I've evened matters up with your family; now let me try and square up with you." "Evened up matters with my family?" he exclaimed in surprise. "What do you mean?" With a smile she replied ambiguously: "Oh, that's a little private matter of my own!" He stared at her, unable to comprehend, and she went on, gravely: "Howard, yeu must do what's best for yourself. I'll pack your things. You can go when- you please—" He stared gloomily out of the window without replying. After all, he thought to himself, it was perhaps for the best. Shackled as he was now, he would never be able to accomplish anything. If they separated, his father would take him into his business. Life would begin for him all over again. It would be better for her, too. Of course, he would never forget her. He would provide for her ; comfort. His father would help* him arrange for that. Lighting a cigarette, he said, carelessly: "Well—perhaps you're right. May- " be a Utile trip through Europe won't do me any harm." "Of course not," she said, simply.

He sat and looked at her as if trying to read her thoughts. Then quietly he said: "Do you know they intend to make Robert Underwood the ground for the application for divorce, and to use your own perjured testimony as a weapon against you? You see what a lie leads to. There's no end to it, and you are compelled to go on lying to "But you don't understand," she said, gently; "I am to blame." "You're too ready to blame yourself," he said, testily. Annie went up to him and laid her hand affectionately on his shoulder. With tears in her eyes, she said: "Let me tell you something, judge.

There was reproach in her voice as she continued; "Ah, Howard, you're such a boy! A little pleasure trip and the past is forgotten!" A look of perplexity came over his face. Being only a man, he did not grasp quickly the finer shades of he; meaning. With some irritation, he de manded: "Didn't you say you wanted me to go and forget?" She nodded. "Yes, I do, Howard. You've made me happy. I want you to be happy." He looked puzzled. "You say you love me?" he said, "and yet you're happy because I'm going away. I don't follow that line of reasoning." »• "It isn't reason," she said with a smile, "it's what I feel. I guess a man wants to^have what he loves and a woman is satisfied to love just what she wants. Anyway, I'm glad. I'm glad you're going. Go and tell your father." Taking his hat, he said: "I'll telephone hjm." "Yes, that's right," she replied. "Where's my cane?" he asked, looking round the room. She found it for him, and as he opened the door, she said: "Don't be long, will yon?" He laughed. "I'll come right back. By George!" he exclaimed, "I feel quite excited at the prospect of this trip!" Regarding Li' fondly, he went on: "It's awfully good of you, old girl, to let me go. . Annie averted her bead. "Now, don't spoil me," she: said, lifting the tray as if to go into the kitchen: "Wait till I kiss you good-by," he said, effusively.

"Good-by," he murmur**; "I won't be long.'* Here to Fight the Battle Alone?" support the original lie, and that's precisely what I won't permit." Annie nodded acquiescence. "I knew you were going to scold me," she smiled. "Scold you?" he said, kindly. " N o - it's myself I'm scolding. You did what you thought was riglit, and I allowed you ,to do what I knew was wrong." "You made two miserable women happy," she said? quietly. The lawyer tried to suppress a smile. "I try to excuse myself on that ground," he said, "but it won't work. I violated my oath as a lawyer, my integrity as a man, my honor, my selfrespect, all upset, all gone. I've been a very unpleasant companion for myself lately." Rising impatiently, he strode up and down the room. Then turning on her, he said, angrily: "But I'll have no more lies. That's what brings me here this morning. The first move they make against you and I'll tell the whole truth!" Annie gazed pensively out of the window without making reply. "Did you hear?" he said, raising his voice. "I shall let the world know that you sacrificed yourself for that weman." She turned and shook her head. "No, judge," she said, "I do not wish i t If they do succeed in influencing Howard to bring suit against me I shall not defend it." Judge Brewster was not a patient man, and if there was anything that angered him it was rank injustice. He had no patience with this young woman who allowed herself to be trampled on in this outrageous way. Yet he could not be angry with-her. She had qualities which compelled his^ admiration and respedt, and not the least of these was her willingness to shield others at her own expense. "Perhaps nja?' he retorted, "but I wilL It's unjust, it's unrighteous, it's impoasibler was rrvrog, tna nara work, the- tonenness. and all the rest of it, and I made up my mind to catch him if I could.

He thinks I'm three years younger, and that he's protecting me from the world. 1 took advantage of bis Ignorance of life." Judge Brewster shrugged hiB shoulders impatiently. "If hoys of 25 are not men they never will be." Looking down at her kindly, he went on: " 'Pon my word! if I was 25, I'd let this divorce go through and marry you myself." "Oh, judge!" That was all she could say, but there was gratitude in the girl's eyes. These were the first kind words any one had yet spoken to her. It was nice to know that some one saw some good in her. She was trying to think, of something to say, when suddenly there (Was the click of a key being inserted in a yale lock. The front door opened, and Howard appeared. "Well, judge!" he exclaimed, "this is a surprise!" The lawyer looked at him gravely. "How do you do, young man?" he said. Quizzingly he added: "You look very pleased with yourself!" i'Thls is the first oportunity I've had to thank you for your kindness," said Howard, cordially. "You can thank your wife, my boy, not me!" Changing the topic, he said: "So you're going abroad, eh?" "Yes, did Annie tell you? It's only for a few months." The lawyer frowned. Tapping the floor Impatiently with his cane, he said: "Why are you going away?" Taken aback at the question, Howard stammered: "Because—because—•" "liecause I want him to go," interrupted Annie qutckly. The lawyer shook his head, and looking steadily at Howard, he said sternly: "I'll tell you, Howard, my boy. You're ^oing to escape from the scandalmongers and the gossiping busybodies. Forgive me for speaking plainly, but you're going away because your wife's conduct is a topic of conversation among your friends—" Howard interrupted him. "You're mistaken, judge; I don't care a hang what people Bay—" "Then why do you leave her here to fight the battle alone?" demanded the judge, angrily. Annie advanced, and raised her hand deprecatlngly. Howard looked at her as If now for tlje first time he realized the truth. "To fight the battle alone?" he echoed. "Yes," said the judge, "you are giving the world a weapon with which to strike at your wife!" Howard was silent. The lawyer's words bad struck home. Slowly he said: "I never thought of that. You're right! I wanted to get away from it all. Father-offered me The chance and Annie told me to go—" Annie turned to the judge. "Please, judge," she said, "don't say any more." Addressing her husband, y i e went on: "Hd didn't mean what he said, Howard." "Howard hung his head. "*Je's quite right, Annie," he Mtld, shamefacedly. "I never Bhovrid h&¥<t consented to go; I was wrong," JtidgeN Brewster advanced and patted him kindly on the back. "Good boy!" he said. "Now, Mrs. Jeffries, I'll tell your husband the truth." , \ "No!" she \ried. " "Then I'll telKhirn without your permission," he retorted. Turnthg to the young man, he Went on: "Howard, your wife is an angel! She's too good a •A'oman for this wo\ld. She has not hesitated to sacrifice ^her Brood name, her happiness, to shieldv another woman. And that woman—the^ woman who called at Underwood's rootn that night —was Airs. Jeffries, your stepmother!" Howard stared back in amazement. "It's true, then, I did recognize her voice!" he cried. ' \ Turning to his wife, he said: "Oh, Annie, why didn't you tell me? You saved my stepmother from disgrace, you spared my fathei. Oh, that wafc noble of you!" In a low tone he whispered: "Don't send me away from you, Annie! Let me stay and prove that I'm worthy of you!" To the young wife it all seemed like a dream, almost too good to be real. The dark, troubled days were ended. A long life, bright with its promise of happiness, was before them. "But what of the future, Howard?" she demanded, gently. Judge Brewster answered the question. "I've thought of that," he said. "Howard, will you come into my office and study law? You can show your father what you can do with a good wife to second your efforts." Howard grasped his outstretched band. "Thanks, judge, I accept," he replied, heartily. Turning i o his wife, be took her in bfs arms. Her bead felf on his shoulder.

They would dry up and leave a scale. Then it would break out again and It spread all over his bead. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over in red bumps and it kept spreading until It was on his hands and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors to treat him, but he got worse all the time. He had It about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura, Ointment. In three days after using them he began to improve. He began to take long naps arid to atop scratching his head.

DU.UNGHM1 CQ«**Y T SYNOPSIS. Howard Jeffries, banker's son, under th« *vii influence of Robert Undoiweod, fellow-etudent at Yaie, leads a life of dissipation, marries the daughter of a gambier who died In prison? and is disowned by his father. He la out of work and in desperate straits. Underwood, who had once been engaged t o Howard's stepmother, Alicia, Is apparently In prosperous circumstances. Taking advantage of Me intimacy with Alicia, he becomes a sort of social highwayman. Discovering his true character, Alicia denies him the house. He sends her a note threatening suicide. Art dealers for whom he acted a s commissioner, demand an accounting. H e cannot make good. Howard calls at his apartments in an intoxicated condition to request a loan of |2,000 to enable him to take up a business proposition. Howard drinks himself Into a maudlin condition, and goes to sleep on a divan. A caller Is announced and Underwood draws a screen around the drunken sleeper. Alicia enters. She demands a promise from Underwood that he will not take his life. He refuses unless she will renew her patronage. This she refuses, and takes her leave. Underwood kills himself. The report of the pistol awakens Howard. He finds Underwood dead. Howard is turned over to the police. Capt. Clinton, notorious for his brutal treatment of prisoners, puts Howard through the third degree, and finally gets an alleged confession from the harassed man. Annie, Howard's wife, declares her belief in her husband's Innocence, and calls on Jeffries, Sr. He refuses, to help unless she will consent to a divorce. To save Howard she consents, but when she finds that the elder Jeffries does not intend to stand by his son, except financially, she scorns his help. Annie appeals to Judge Brewster, attorney for Jeffries, Sr., to take Howard's case. He declines, It is reported that Annie is going on the stage. The banker and his wife call on Judge Brewster to find some way to prevent it. Annie again pleads with Brewster to defend Howard. He consents. Alicia is greatly alarmed when she learns from Annie that Brewster has taken the case. She confesses to Annie that she called on Underwood the night of his death and that she has his letter in wrdch he threatened suicide, but begs for time before giving out the information. Annie promises Brewster to produce the missing woman at a meeting at his home. Brewster accuses Clinton of forcing a confession from Howard. Annie appears without the witness and re^ fuses to give the name. Alicia arrives. I? Do you understand what the letter means to me?" "Have pity!" cried the banker's wife, almost beside herself. "You can tell thera when I'm out of the country. Don't ask me to make this sacrifice now—don't ask me—don't!" Annie was beginning to lose patience. The woman's selfishness angered her. With irritation, she said: "You've lost your nerve, and you don't know what you're saying. Howard's life comes before you—me—-or anybody. You know that!" "Yes—yes," cried Alicia desperately, "I know that. I'm only asking you to wait. I—I ought to have left this morning—that'B what I should have done—gone at once. Now it's too late, unless you help me—" "I'll help you all I can," replied the other doggedly, "but I've promised Judge Brewster to clear up this matter to-night." Suddenly there was a commotion at the door. Capt. Clinton entered, followed by Detective Sergeant Maloney, Alicia shrank back in alarm. "I thought Judge Brewster was here," said the captain, glancing suspiciously round the room. "I'H send for him," said Annie, touching a bell. "Well, Where's your mysterious witness?" demanded the captain sarcastically. He looked curiously at Alicia. "This is Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.," said Annie, "my husband's stepmother." The captain made a deferential salute. Bully as he was,_he.knew how pearance, did I, Maloney. Why not? Because, begging your pardon for doubting your word, there'* no such person." "Begging your pardon for disputing your word, captain," she retorted, mimicking him, "there is such a person." "Then where is she?" he demanded angrily. Annie made no answer, but looked for advice to Judge Brewster, who at that instant entered the room. The captain glared at her viciously, and unable to longer contain his wrath, he bellowed: "I'll tell you where she is! She's right here in this room!" Pointing his finger at Annie in theatrical fashion, he went on furiously: "Annie Jeffries, you're the woman who visited Underwood the night of his death! I don't hesitate to say so. I've said so all along, haven't I, Maloney?" "Yes, you told the newspapers so," retorted Annie dryly. Taking no notice of her remark, the captain blustered: "I've got your record, young woman! I know all about you and your folks. You knew the two men when they were at college. You knew Underwood before you made the acquaintance of young Jeffries. It was Underwood who introduced you to your husband. It was Underwood who aroused your husband's jealousy. You went to his rooms that night. Your husband followed you there, and the shooting took place!" Turning to Judge Brewster, he added, with a sarcastic grin: "False confession, eh? Hypnotism, eh? I guess It's jnterna- CHAPTER XVIII.—Continued. "It does stun one, doesn't it?" went on Annie. "You can't think when it comes all of a sudden like this. It's Just the way I felt the' morning they showed me Howard's confession." "Prison! Prison!" wailed Alicia. Annie tried to console her. "Not for long," she said soothingly; "you can get bail. It's-only a matter fif favor—Judge Brewster would you out right away." "Get me out!" cried-^CTicia distract edly, "My God^r^an't go to prison! 1 can'tj^Plliat's too much. I've done nojthifig! Look—read this!" Handing over Underwood's letter, she went on: "You can see for yourself. The wretch frightened me into such a state of mind that I hardly knew what I was doing—I went to his rooms to save him. That's the truth, I swear • to God! But do you suppose anybody will believe me on oath? They'll— they'll—" Almost hysterical, she no longer knew what she was .saying or doing. She collapsed utterly, and sinking down in a chair, gave way to a passionate fit of sobbing. Annie* tried to quiet her: "Hush!" she said gently, "don't so on like that. Be bravo. Perhaps it won't bo as bad as you think." She unfolded the letter Alicia had given her and carefully read it through. When she had finished her face lit up with joy. Enthusiastically she cried: "This is great for Howard! What a blessing you didn't destroy It! What a wretch, what a hound to write you like that! &Poor soul, of course, you went and begged him not to do it! I'd have gone myself, but I think I'd have broken an umbrella over his head or^omething— Gee! these kind of fellows breed trouble, don't they? Alive or dead, they breed trouble! What «an we do?" ' Alicia rose. Her tears had disappeared. There was a look of fixed resolve in her eyes, . "Howard must be cleared," she said, 'tend I must face It—-alone r "You'll be alone all right," said Annie thoughtfully. ''Mr. Jeffries will do as much for you as he did for his son." : Noticing that her companion seemed hurt, by her frankness, ehe changed the topic. "Honest to God!" she exclaimed good-naturedly, "I'm broken-henrtad-r- VU do anything to save you from -tnla —this public disgrace. I know what it means—I've had my dose of i t But this thing has got to come out, hasn't it!" The banker's wife wearily nodded assent. "Yes, I realise that," she said, "but the disgrace of arrest—I can't stand it, Annie! I c a n t go to prison even If it's only for a minute.* Holding out a trembling hand, aba went on: "Give me back the tetter.

"Beg pardon, m'm; I wanted to tell the judge I was going." The servant entered. "Tell Judge Brewster that Capt. Clinton is going," said Annie. Alicia, meantime, watf once more on the verge of collapse. The long threatened expose was now at hand. In another moment the judge and perhaps her husband would come in, and Annie would hand them the letter which exculpated her husband. There was a moment of terrible suspense. Annie stood aloof, her eyes fixed on the floor. Suddenly, without uttering a word, she drew Underwood's letter from her bosom, and quickly approaching AHcia. placed it unnoticed in her hand. The banker's wife flushed and then: turned pale. She understood. Annie would spare her. Her tips parted to protest. Even stye was taken back by such an exhibition of unselfishness as this. She began to stammer thanks. "No, no," whispered Anaie quickly, "don't thank me; keep i t * Capt Clinton turned round with a Jeer. Insolently, ha said to JLtnle: "You might aa yrtH\ own nja—you've played « XXUSLMM all." "No, C a ^ t » i u m , " she replied with quiet dlgnttj-f "I told you the simple truth.

"You don't say so?" exclaimed Annie, irritated at the man's intolerable insoleirce. Judge Brewster held up a restraining hand. "Please say nothing," he said with dignity. - .~ - "No, I guess I'll let him talk. Go on, captain," she said with a smile, as if thoroughly enjoying^ the situation. Alicia came forward, her face pale, but on it a look of determination, as if she had quite made up her mind as to what course to pursue. In her hand was Underwood's letter. Addressing Annie, she said, with emotion: "The truth must come out sooner or later." Seeing what she was about to do, Annie quickly put out her hand to stop her. She expected the banker's wife to do her duty, she had insisted that she must, but now -she was ready to do it, she realized what it was costing her. Her position, her future happiness were at stake. It was too great a sacrifice. Perhaps tiiere was some other way. v "No, no, not yet," she whispered. But Alicia brushed her aside' and, thrusting the letter into the hand of the astonished- police captain, she said: "Yes, now! Read that, captain!" Capt Clinton slowly unfolded the letter. Alicia collapsed in a chair. Annie stood by helpless, but trying to collect her wits. The judge watched the scene with amazement not understanding. The captain read from the letter: :>-• r '• " 'Dear Mrs. Jeffries." He stopped, and glancing at the signature, exclaimed. "Robert Underwood!" Looking significantly at Annie, he exclaimed: "'Dear Mrs. Jeffries!' Is that conclusive enough? What did I tell you?" Continuing to peruse the letter, he read on: "Shall be found dead tomorrow — suicide —''- He stopped short and frowned. "What's this? Why, this is a barefaced forgery!" Judge Brewster quickly snatched the letter from his hand and, glancing over it quickly, said: •"Permit me. This belongs to my client." Capt. Clinton's prognathous Jaw snapped to with a click, and he squared hi3 massive shoulders, as he usually did when preparing for hostilities: "Now, Mrs. Jeffries," he said sharply, "I'll trouble you to go with me to headquarters." Annie and Alicia both stood up. Judge Brewster quickly objected. "Mrs. Jeffries will not go with you," he said quietly. "She has made no attempt to leave the state." "She's wanted at police headquarters," said the captain doggedly. "She'll be there to-morrow morning." "She'll be there to-night." He looked steadily at the judge, and the latter calmly returned his stare. There followed an awkward pause, and then the captain turned on his heel to depart. "The moment she attempJa-tcTleave the house," he grqwiedT^I shall arrest her. Good^n-rghX judge." "Good^n+glTtr captain!" cried Annie mjjjekfngly. "I'll see you later," "Come on, Maloney." The door banged to alone. "What a sweet disposition!" laughed Annie. Judge Brewster looked sternly at her. Holding up the letter, he said: "What is the meaning of this? You are not' the woman to whom this letter is addressed?" "No," stammered Annie, "that .is—" The judge interrupted her. Sternly he asked: "Is it your intention to go on the witness stand and commit perjury?" "I don't know. I never thought of that," she faltered. The judge turned to Alicia. "Are you going to allow her to do so, Mrs. Jeffries?" "No, no," cried Alicia, quickly; "1 never thought of such a thing." "Then I repeat—is it your intention to perjure yourself?" Annie was silent, and he went on: "I assume it is, but let me ask you: Do you expect me, as your counsel, to become particops crlminis to this tissue of lies? Am I-expected to build up a false structure for you to swear to? A n i l ! " "I don't know; I haven't thought of it," replied Annie. "If it can be done, why not? I'm glad you suggested it." "I suggest it?" exclaimed the lawyer, scandalized. "Yes," cried Annie with growing exaltation; "it never occurred to me till you spoke. Everybody says I'm the woman who called on PiObert Underwood that night, Well, that's all right. Let them continue to think so. What difference does it make so long as Howard is set free?" Going toward the door, she said: "Good-night, Mrs. Jeffries!" The judge tried to bar her way. "Don't go," he said; "Capt. Clinton's men are waiting outside." "That doesn't matter!" she cried. "But you must not go!" exclaimed the lawyer in a tone of command. "I won't allow i t They'll arrest you! Mrs. Jeffries, you'll please remain here." But Annie was already at the door. "I wouldn't keep Capt Clinton waiting for the world," she cried. "Good-night, Judge Brewster, and God bless you!" The door slammed, and she was gone. (TO BE CONTINUED.) He Was Prepared.

This Is •a serious fault and may result from any of the following: 1—poor lutai- 'catlng oil. 2—Failure to turn on ior have a sufficient ftow of lubricating oil. 3—Overheating of cylinder. Oiily a good grade of xas' engine oil which is intended to withstand high heat should be used. The writer has m •mind an instance <vt this kind in which a chauffeur upon finding Mis cylinder oil exhausted borrowed some steam cylinder oil 'from a threskrax crew. The deposit formed by ffhe combustion of thlB oil rendered a large bill of repairs necessary. Neglect to turn on lubriactlng oil would be counted pure carelessness. The amount fed should also be watched and vary from '3 »to 10 drops per mlnute~ according to the size of the "engine. A better way to tell is to see that the piston is'olly and presents ua polished appearance. All engines under ordinary conditions of UBage 'Will not overheat.

'Information as t o the proper timing can be had by refrerence to the oompany*B book of rn- -structions which accompanies the engine or by consultation with the agent OT company direct.

Lock tnrts or some other means should he used to prevent those nuts working loose. The crank shaft bearings should also be kept closely adjusted, hut not so light aa to prevent a film of oil forming around the shaft for lubrication. The same suggestions for adjusting7 would apply to those bearings as to the connecting rod. Keep other moving parts on the en-i gine well lubricated and inspect the entire machine occasionally to see that there are no loose nuts or parts. The loss of lite in Porcupina district, northern Ontario, from forest fir«s is known to be several hundred and the property loss will reach several millions of dollars. Only three <ot 84 employes of the West Dome mine have beea accounted for and 200 miners, mu'ekers, etc., in the Dome mine have betn suffocated. The mines burne<l include the Dome, North Dome, Preston, East Dome, Vioond, Foley, O'Brien, Philadelphia, United Porcupine, Eldorado, Porcu- >ine, PottsvlTle and paTt of Golden City, as w«ll as many small buildings along t h e lake front. While some loss of life occurred in the vicinity oT Porcupine lake, the greatest havr/c was wrought around the main mtnes, notably West Dome and Big Dome. There the entrapped miners., cut off from escape, were orced t o take to the shafts for afety, "and, penned in by flames, perished. This was notably true at Dome and West ^ome mines. At r*reston, East Dome, an untlroberefl shaft "gave shelter and none perished- Later "Reports From Northern Ontario 'Gradually the story of tne north tntario fires is being unfolded, and •A :te as full of thrilling incidents as the "most imaginative ©1 romances. That familiarity with danger breeds indifference to it is a maxrm justified by experience, and certainty the 'dwellers in the Canadian.. Hand appear to have given little thought to the inflammable character of the district. Weeks of drought anil high temperature had reduoefl much-'of the vegetation to a state of extreme desiccation ,and crumbled it into pow- 'dery dust. The death list contains no new names, and the number dead is a "mere guess. The largest area "burned was that comprising the townships of Tisdale and Whitney, where were located the towns of Porcupine, South Torcilpine and Pottsville, and the largest mines. No word has own received of the damages at the power plant at Trunn's landing, and this strengthens the belief that the fire did not spread over as great an area as at first reported. The fire that destroyed Cochrane, 100 miles distant from Porcupine, it is believed now, was independent of those in the Porcupine district. To Vote on Canadian Reciprocity JcNy 72.

I g&t no benefit from all this. I was nearly worn out, and had given up m despair of ever being cured when I was advised by a friend to try Cutlcura Remedies. I purchased Cuticura Soar, Ointment, and Resolvent, and used exactly as directed. I used the Cutlcura Remedies constantly for four months, and nothing else, and was perfectly 'cured. It is now a year, and I have not had the least bit since. I am ready to praise the Cutlcura Remedies at any time. (Signed) E. L. Cate, Bxlle, Ky., Nov. 10, 1910.

Oid Map ot South America, Claude Vaatin, an English mining engineer, who has been prospecting in Peru, returned the other day on the steamship Zacapa. Besides looking after mining property, he has been collecting interesting antlnquttiies of the (country. One of the most interesting things he 'brings back with him is a map of South America made by the Jesuits in 1592. It gives an outline of the land as far north as Cuba and Is apparently accurate. Its purpose is evidently plain, for every missionary station in the country at that time Is Indicated on the map, and the line of travel necessary to reach them is marked out. This map was obtained by Mr. Vautin at Puno, Peru. Another interesting collection" he brought back is the death masks .of the lncas. These were hammered out of tmetal and placed over the faces oi the dead. Three of these obtained by Mr. 'Vautin are^ of sheet gold. Pandemonium.

The gentle Eliza waB sitting drearily in the darkened room, waiting miserably for a visitor, whom she feared would never come. To tell the truth, Eliza and William had quarreled bitterly the night before. But what is that? A ring, a step, a masculine voice. She waited not, but threw herself Into the visitor's arms. "Oh, my darling!" she sobbed, with her head upon his bosom. "I am so glad you have called. I did so long to make up and do my best to pay you for bringing light into my life. Let us settle peacefully once more with each other." "Well, miss," said a strange voice, T i n wlllln', I'm sure. But my Instructions is that If you don't I'm to cut off the gas!'* And It was only then that Eliza found out she bad mistaken a common gas person for her William.— London Tlt-Blts.

MAY FINISH OLD BUSINESS Case of John Boyd, Whose Sentence Was Commuted From Life to Twenty-Seven Years, Will Doubtless Be Taken Up. Lansing.—The greatest number of applications for pardons and h paroles ever on file at Jackson at one time, will come before the state board of padons, which began a session at Jackson. There are about 200 petitions. The usual number is from twenty to forty. It is said the reason there are so many cases now is because of unfinished business due to friction among the members of the old board. It is expected that, with the new board, all these old cases will be cleared up. It probably will result in many prisoners being released. The case of John Boyd, whose sentence was commuted from life to 27 years, will doubtless be taken up, and Boyd paroled. Boyd has served 25 years. He has a patent on a baseball schedule, and could make a good start in life if given a chance before he is broken down in health. Boyd has been a trusty for ten years. Dixon Takes Up Fight for Babies. Robert L. Dixon, the new' secretary of the Btate board of health, recently appointed by Governor Osborn, who assumed the duties of Ms new office July 1, is about to start a crusade to save the babies of the state. So the doctor declared to a correspondent. "I have been thinking about this infantile death rate in the state for a good while," said Doctor Dixon.—Ha fact they say that it is a hobby of mine, but T am willing- lo__have i t -so* called if I can do some good in the state by saving the lives of the little ones." Three year record Of deaths of Michigan babies': July deaths under one year old 1,827 August deaths under one year old.. 2,508 Totaf deaths under one ye&r old....4,335 Deaths from 1 to 4 years In same months 1,497 Total of all 5,832 "It will be seen that for the months of July and* August of that year the total number of deaths of all ages amounted to 5,747, and of this number 1,351 were babies under one year of age or 23.5 per cent, of the total number. There were 460 deaths of infants, aged one to four years, constituting eight per cent, of the total number. "For the year 1909 the number of deaths of babies under the age of one year, during the months of July and August bad increased to 1,444 out of a total of 5,441 deaths of all ages, or 26.5 per cent, of the total number. "Last year the tofcal deaths of all ages in the state for the months of July and August totaled 6,665, and there were 1,540 deaths of infants under one year of age, and 571 deaths of children, aged one to four years. "Thus it will be seen that for the past three year the total number of deaths during the months of July and August at all ages numbered 17,853 and of this number 4,335 were of babies undeo one year of age or 24.3 per cent of the total number. The deaths of 1,827 of these babies occurred during July of the three years and 2,508 during August. "For the same three years and months there were 1,497 deaths aged one to four years, or but 8.4 per cent, of the entire number." 912,596,951.99 Are Expenses of State. Beginning with the balance of $2,487,883.72 on July 1, 1910, the state treasury had a balance of 12,238,425.36 July 1, this year. During the year there was turnetl into the treasury iu state fluids the sum of $12,- 244,493.44 while the disbursements were $12,596,951.99. These' seta of figures give an idea of the extent of the state government and its operations in one fiscal year. It is probable that this balance will be expended before the next taxes begin to come In, but the last legislature provided a sufficient amount to wipe out this annual deficit in the future and place the state's finances on a balancing basis. Most of the state's money is on deposit in the banks of the state, the annual report being compiled by the department to cover the fiscal year just closed, showing a total deposit of $2,305,475.03 in state banks on June 30, which is secured uy bonds to the amount of $2,758,000. The funds of the state come from many different BourceB. For instance, the auditor general's department turned in $134,914.87 in delinquent taxes, redemptions, state tax land money and tax histories; th« county treasurer's, $6,225,669 in taxes; huntters* licenses add $30,286.45 more; supreme court fees, $4,103; the commissioner of banking, $31,280 in fees for examining banks; the commissioner of Insurance, $31,830 In fees; the dairy and food department, $10,261 in fees and licenses; executive office, $4,845 in notary public fees; non-resident liquor dealers' licenses netted $46,791; the secretary of state collected $90,189.94 In motor vehicle licenses; state oil inspector, $19,668; state game and fish warden, $9,631 in fishermen's licenses and specific and other taxes netted $46,285; the tale of reserve tax homeBtead lands, $239,- 884, while from the maintenance of patients in the various hospitals of the state there was received $23,300. Going After Insanitary Creameries. Insanitary ^creameries are receiving a mention froin the state board of health, Dr. R. I. Dixon^ secretary of the board, having directed an investigation of several institutions in various parts of the state against which complaints have been filed. State Sanitary Engineer T. S. Ainge has been furnished with the list and directed to make the investigation and in case he reports bad conditions in any of the places, Secretary Dixon says orders to clean up will be issued and unless they are complied with promptly, further action will be taken. President Coming to Fair. Early in the year President McRae of the Detroit Board of Commerce extended an invitation to President Taft to be the guest of Detroit and the Board of Commerce some time in September. President Tom Newton of the State Fair society followed this with an invitation to visit the fair and to so time his visit to Detroit as to be the guest of the whole state for at least one day at the fair. State Prepares for Big Sale of Land. The state land department has been working for some months past on a schedule of dates at which state lands would be sold at the county seats of various counties in the state, and Laud Commissioner. Russell—iias announced the place and date of sale where these lands will be sold at public auction, commencing August 8. The list includes, besides several thousand acres of farming lands, several village and city lots, all of which will be sold to the highest ' bidder, providing that the price bid is equal to th^ appraised value put on t i e property by the state land department. All of the lands are state tax homestead lands which have been deeded to the state by the auditor general's department. Following are the places where the sales will be heid and the date. AU lands situated in a county which are placed on sale will be sold from the county seat, as follows: Cheboygan, Cheboygan, Tuesday, August 8; Iosco, Tawas City, Thursday, August 10; Bay, Bay City, Tuesday, August 29; Mackinac, St. Ignace, Tuesday, September 5; Chippewa, Sault Ste, Marie, Thursday, September 7; Luce, Newberry, Tuesday, September 12; Schoolcraft, Manistique, Thursday, September 14; Roscommon, Roscommon, Wednesday, September 27; Otsego, Gaylord, Thursday, September 28; Alger, Mtlnlslng, Tuesday, October 10; Baraga, L'Anse, Thursday, October 12; Dickinson, Iron Mountain, Saturday, October 14; Kent, Grand Rapids, Tuesday, October 24; Oscoda, Mio, Wednesday, November 1, Asfieisment bf Counties Is Low. Over 40 counties in the state have sent in to the auditor general an equalization made of the properties of their counties by the supervisors for the present year, which will be used by the state board of equalization when that body meets in Lansing next month. The counties which have made such report and compared the list with the equalized valuation as placed on the same counties five years ago by the state board of equalization, and with a few exceptions the assessed valuation made by the supervisors for the present year 1B less than the amount fixed by the state board of equalization five years ago. Here is the peculiar situation. The members of the state board expect that they will boost the valuation of the state at least nearly $2,600,00^,000, and according to the valuation placed on the counties by the respective boards of supervisors, they will come only about half way in placing a valuation that will meet with the approval of the state board of equalization. Following are some of the comparisons, counties being picked from different sections of the state: Equallted value Five years as placed by ago by County. supervisors, state board. Allegan $22,500,000 - $22,600,000 Roscommon 1,683,000 1,000,000 Ontonagon 4,211,000 5.000,000 Livingstone 15.000,000 16,500,000 Houghton ......... 89,000,994 140,000.000 Van Buren 14,500,000 17.000.000 Hillsdale 22.644,000 23,000,000 Ioni* 21,438,000 22,000.000 Eaton 22,500,000 24.000.000 Keweenaw 6,000.000 7.500,000 Crawford 1,800.000 1,600,060 State Fair Auto Show. Indications are that the automobile show in connection with the state fair In September will be larger than a year ago, when the feature was inaugurated. Manager Wllmot is very optimistic over conditions. The drawing for the space took place this week when the ground floor/ was divided among the dealers. The second floor bas been allotted to the Detroit manufacturers and outside cars and accessory firms will find place there. The motor car ihow will be confined to the first floor. Good Sugar Best Crop. Michigan will harvest the greatest crop of sugar beets ever harvested in any state In the Union this year. Approximately 150,000 acres are planted, and next fall fanners will receive more than $8,000,000 for their beets. The crop prospects were never better, the dry, hot weather advancing the beeti in sugar percentage. Farmers estimate that the crop it now two weeks in advance of its nana! condition, 'V {••i'tj RAINS STAMP OUT AND CHECK FOREST FIRES NORTHERN MICHIGAN BREATHES EASY AGAIN AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF FIGHTING FLAMES. WORK OF RELIEVING AU SABLE AND OSCODA SUFFERERS GOES ON. Investigation Shows That Earlier Report* of the Forest Fires. in the Northern Part of the State Werfe Exaggerated. Heavy showers ranged over all the northern and eastern steiion of the fire zone in northern Michigan, falling where the greatest danger lay, Millersburg, Onaway and Tower experiencing drenching rains, while at Metz and Lachine hail accompanied the rain. The people of the devastated region received the rain with joy. Hymns were sung and prayers said. Men, women and children stood out in the open and let the drops soak them. Investigation by correspondents who have been over the ground show that earlier reports of the forest fires in the northern part of the state were greatly exaggerated. In Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties they were the worst, but even there they were not as bad as was feared at first. About half the buildings in Millersburg were burned before a lucky change of wind saved the town. Tower also suffered, but the fire jumped past Onaway. Millions of feet of sawed lumber at Waters were burned, but the town was not touched by fire. This fire was not the result of forest fires, but was caused by a spark from a locomotive. Nowhere else along the line of the Michigan Central from Bay City to Cheboygan are there fires to amount to anything. Work of relief of refugees from stricken towns of Oscoda and Au Sabie goes on, principally at East Tawas, where most of them are quartered. The discovery of the charred remains of one man at Oscoda raised the death list in the twin towns to four. There have been no forest fires in Alcona county. Hillman, the chief city of Montmorency county, reported endangered, is found safe. The jtotal forest fire damage in Montmorency county is probably $50,000. TfiS^e is no further danger there. ; GOVERNOR APPOINTS MEN TO HANDLE RELIEF. Gov. Osborn has appointed the following to compose a state commission to,, handle the fire_relief work; .. - - George G: Booth, Milton McRae, Capt. Fred Alger, Henry Ford, Detroit; Clarence Cotton, Grand Rapids; Homer Busk, Bay Citv; George W. Morley, Saginaw; Frank Fletcher, Alpena; A. E. Packard, Charlotte; J. W. Wells, Menominee; J. D. Dort, Flint; J. E. Beal, Ann Arbor; R. E. Olds. Lansing; CQI. P. L. Irish, Kalamazoo; Dr. W. H. Sawyer, Hillsdale; William Hovey, Benton Harbor; John Carton, Flint; John Grant, Manistee; Otto Fowle, Soo; A.'T. Woodruff, Bay City; Mayor-James Laberg, East Tawas-; CL W. Luce, East Tawas, and Albert S ^ Sleeper, Lansing. CITIZENS DECIDE TO REBUILD. ^ A grand spirit of gameness was shown by the- citizens of Au Sable and Oscoda at a mass meeting and it was decided to rebuild and have only one city. Several merchants announced that they would develop temporary structures and be doing business within :?0 days. Chae. B. Sawyer stated that Detroit was ready to do what it could. J. D. Hawks, vice-president and general manager of the D. & M., was present and Btated that his road would do everything for the sufferers. The meeting was held in the little frame school house still standing, the people being summoned by the ringing of the school bell Relief supplies afford plenty of food and shelter and only clothing is needed. Twenty houses in Oscoda, a school house, a bank and a railway station only buildings left. Four lives are known to have be en lost and several more names may be added to the list of fatalities when the ruins are cleared away. The large lumber mills of the H. N. Loud's Sons' company and every business enterprise in the two townc were completely wiped out, the loss totaling over $1,000,000. Military department of the state sends all the available tents to stricken cities, with detachment of hospital corps to care for the sick. At a meeting of the public domain commission, called by Secretary of State Martindale, it was decided to raise whatever money was necessary for the protection of life and property in the state, as a result of the forest fires. There is, of course, some question as to whether the auditors ha've the right to raise the money, but all red tape was cast to the winds, and the auditors are willing to take a chance at this critical period. $200,000 Loss in Presque Isle County. The fire losses in Presque iBle county were along the railroad only, Rogers City and Metz were never touched, but the people were ready to move out, thinking of the 1908 horror. The total loss in Presque Isle county is about $200,000. All danger is over now. The homes of the lighthouse keepers burned at Sable Point. Nothing Left to Feed Forest Fires. There are no forest fires in Ogemaw county, and have been none this year. The forest fires of three years ago practically cleaned up all the down timber and inflammable refuse left by lumbermen, leaving nothing for running fires to feed upon. Otsego Loss $250,000. Five lumber camps were wiped out by fire in Otsego county. The M. C. railway lost 50 cars. Thirty farm houses and 1,000,000 feet of logs burned. The total loss in the county is reported at $250,000. The danger is past. The Stephens Co. loss in $5,000 Covers Loss in Wexford County. The total fire loss in Wexford county during the week will not exceed $5,000. Missaukee county will have a similar loss. Crawford Loss Is $100,000. Fires in Crawford county and vicinity are extinguished. Revision places the lumber loss in this county at $100,000, Vandertilt has not at any time been in any serious danger from forest fires, repcrts sent to the contrary notwithstanding. There has been no rain in this section to quench the smoldering fires. Rep. Loud Depressed by. Fire Losses. Congressman George A. Loud" passed through Bay City on his way from Washington to Au 3able. He was very much depressed by the great fire in that place and Oscoda. In addition to his losses in the lumber business, the souvenirs gathered in three trips across the Atlantic, three across lumber at Waters was 2C.000.000 |eet, the Pacific, and one around the world, making a mile of ash heaps. Crops suffered considerably. At Berryville a store building, several residences and a school house were burned. A. Glaaer, farmer, was burned out, and two farmers lost their barns and crops. Trowbridge, a place of a few settlers, located two miles south of Wolverine, which was reported burned, was saved by hard effort. No settlement or town in this vicinity is now in danger. In the east end a fire patrol is being maintained. Among the timber losses is a million feet of skidded logs between Wolverine and Legrande, and a half million logs east of Gaylord. both belonging to Kneeland & Bigelow, of Bay City. as well as his films of Panama and the Philippines, were all destroyed. Scattered Lumber Loss. The Richardson Lumber Co. of Bay City lost a total of $40,000 in lumber fires at Alpena, Oxbow and on the Hurst f branch of the Michigan Central. The White Lumber Co. of Boyne City lost $45,000 in cut lumber at their No. 6 camp, near Wolverine. The Kneeland Bigelow Co. of Bay City lost one camp and $15^000 in logs in Montmorency county. Tower's Loss $60,000. The loss at Tower was probably $50,000, including 20 D. & M. railway oars and a shingle mill. The loss is slight throughout the rest of Cheboygan county. The Eaton County Savings bank at Charlotte will purchase the Merchants' National bank. Combined resources are over $700,000. Dr. E. D. Ford, of Cambria, Wis., has purchased a s,ite of 62 acres at Trout lake, Chippewa county, for a sanitarium and hospital. Ground for the building, which is to cost $20,000, was broken, and the work is to be rushed. A bank and several manufacturing enterprises are assured for the town, which is now filled with boomers and speculators. Arrangement*1 have been made for plotting a large addition to the villag e. Throe thousand stray dogs Jnve been killed during"the'past 12 inontns by Boston's official dog catchers . Daniel Wing, of Custer, Mason county, has been appointed deputy state game warden for the western district of Michigan bv State Game Warden Oates. Mr. Wing, who is an Osborn supporter, succeeds B. F. Elms, who held the—office for four comecutive years under the Warner administration, and the appointment was made only after a ipirited fight between the friends of the present administration and of the Warner faction. \ Cheboygan.—Forest fire conditionssouth of here as far aB Alpena. are worse than three years ago, according to reports which are coming in here. All the wires, telegraph and telephone, axe down, s o that information is- meager and not* entirely reliable. According to these reports Watersburg has been hard hit, the mills and business section and over half the residences destroyed. Larocque is surrounded by fires, but is still untouched. Part of Tower is gone and the rest in danger* and the fire is in t*e outskirts of Onaway. At Millersburg 31 houses and the old Gardn«--Peterman mill have been burned. There is a report that two lives have been lost at Larocque, but this cannot be confirmed.

The man was riding just below the summit of the ridge, occasionally uplifting his head so as to gaze across the crest, shading his eyes with one hand, to thus better concentrate his vision. Both horse and rider plainly exhibited signs of weariness, but every movement of the latter showed ceaseless vigilance, his glance roaming the barren ridges, a browu Winchester lying cocked acrbs's the saddle pommel, his left hand taut on the rein. Yet the horse he bestrode scarcely required restraint, advancing slowly, with head hanging low, and only occasionally breaking into a brief trot under the impetus ot the spur. The rider was a man approaching thirty, somewhat slender and long of limb, but possessing broad, squared shoulders above a deep chest, sitting the saddle easily in plainsman fashion, yet with an erectnesa of carriage which suggested military training. The face under the wide brim of the weather-worn slouch hat was cleanshaven, browned by sun and wind, and strongly marked, the chin slightly prominent, the mouth firm, the gray eyes full of character and daring. His dress was that of rough service, plain leather "chaps," showing marks of hard usage, a gray woolen shirt turned low at the neck, with a kerchief knotted loosely about the sinewy bronzed throat. At one hip dangled the holster of a "forty-five," on the other hung a canvas-covered canteen. His was figure and face to be noted anywhere, a man from whom you would expect both thought and action, and one who seemed to exactly fit into his wild environment. Where he rode was the very western extreme of the prairie country, billowed like the sea, and from off the crest of its higher ridges, the wide level sweep of the plains was visible, extending like a vast brown ocean to the foothills of the far-away mountains. Yet the actual commencement of that drear, barren expanse was fully ten miles distant, while all about where he rode the conformation was Irregular, comprising narrow valleys and swelling mounds, with here and there a sharp ravine, riven from the rock and invisible until one drew up startled at its very brink. The general trend of depression was undoubtedly southward leading toward the valley of the Arkansas, yet irregular ridges occasionally cut across, adding to the confusion. The entire surrounding landscape presented the same aspect, with no special object upon which the eye could rest for guidance—no tree, no upheaval of rock, no peculiarity of summit, no snake-like trail—all about extended the same dull, dead monotony of brown, sun-baked hills, with slightly greener depressions lying between, interspersed by patches of sand or the white gleam of alkali. It was a dreary, deserted land, parched" under the hot summer sun, brightened by no Slender Spirals of Blue Smoke Were Visible. attacking travelers on trie trails, raiding exposed settlements, and occasionally venturing to try open battle with the small squads of armed men. In this stress of sudden emergency— every available soldier on active duty —civilians had been pressed into service, and hastily despatched to warn exposed settlers, guide wagon trains, or carry despatches between outposts. And thus our rider, Jack Keith, who knew every foot of the plains lyftw between the Republican and the Canadian rivers, was one of these thus suddenly requisitioned, merely because he chanced to be discovered unemployed by the harassed commander of a cantonment just without the environs of Carson City. Twenty minutes later--he was riding swiftly into the norjhwest bearing Important j penniless. 'It w news to General Sheridan, commander j got there, only E of the Department, who happened at vegetation, excepting sparse bunches ' t h a t raoment t o b e at Fort Cairnes. To of buffalo grass or an occasional Keith this had been merely nnothstunted sage bush, and disclosing nowhere the slightest sign of human habitation. The rising sun reddened the crest of the hills, and the rider, halting his willing horse, sat motionless, gazing steadily Into the southwest. Apparently he' perceived nothing there unusual, for he slowly turned his body about in the saddle, sweeping his eyes, inch b'y inch, along the line of the horizon, until the entire circuit had been completed. Then his compressed lips smiled slightly, his hand unconsciously patting the horse's neck. "I reckon we're still alone, old girl," he said quietly, a bit of Southern drawl in the voice. "We'll try for the trail, and take it easy." He swung stiffly out of the saddle, and with reins dangling over his shoulder, began the slower advance, on foot, the exhausted horse trailing behind. His was not a situation in which one could feel certain of safety, for any ridge might conceal the wary foemen he sought to avoid, yet he proceeded now with renewed confidence. It was the summer of 1868, and the place the very heart of the Indian country, with every separate tribe ranging between the Yellowstone and the Brazos, either restless or openly on the war-path. Rumors of atrocities j-were being retold the length and breadth of the border, and every report drifting in to either fort or settlement only added to the alarm. For once at least the Plains Indians bad discovered a common cause, tribal differences had been adjusted in war against the white invaders, and Kiowas, Comanches. Arapaboes, Cheyenne* and Sioux had become welded together in savage brotherhood. To oppose them were the scattered and unorganized settlers lining the more eastern streams, guarded by small detachments ot regular troops posted here and there amid that broad wilderness, scarcely within touch of each other. - Everywhere beyond these Unas, of patrol wandefg*) teejsing war parttoa, er page in a career of adventure; for him to take his life in his hands had long ago become an old story. He had quietly performed the special du^y allotted him, watched a squadron of troopers trot forth down the valley of the Republican, received the hasty thanks of the peppery little general, and then, having nothing better to do, traded his horse in at the government corral for a fresh mount and started back again for Carson-City. For the greater portion of two nights and a day he had been In the saddle, but be was accustomed to this, for he had driven more than one bunch of longhorns up the Texas trail; and as he had slept three hours at Cairnes, and as his nerves were like steel, the thought of danger gave him slight concern. He was thoroughly tired, and It rested him to get out of the saddle, while the freshness of the morning air was a tonic, the very breath of which made him forgetful ^of fatigue. After all, this was indeed the very sort of experience which appealed to him, and always had—this life of peril in the open, under the stars and the sky. He had constantly experienced It for so long now, eight years, as to make it seem merely natural. While he ploughed steadily forward through the shifting sand of tbe coulee, his thought drifted idly back over those years, and sometimes be smiled, and occasionally frowned, as various Incidents returned to memory. It had been a rough life, yet one not unusual to those of bis generation.- Born of excellent family in tidewater Virginia, his father a successful planter, his mother had died while he was still In early boyhood, and he had grown up cut off from all womanly Influence. He had barely attained his majority, a senior at William and Mary's College, when the Civil War came; and one month after Virginia cast in her lot with the tooth, be became a sergeant in a cavalry regiment commanded by btt father. He had enjoyed that Ufa and won hla spars, yet it haft cost There waa mack not over^leaeant to remember, and those strenuous years of almoBt ceaseless fighting, of long night marches, of swift, merciless raiding, of lonely scouting within the enemy's lines, of severe wounds, hardship amTsuTferlng, had left their marks on both body and soul. His father had fallen on the field at Antietam, and left him utterly alone in the world, but he had fought on grimly to the end, until the last flag, of the Confederacy had been furled. By that time, upon the collar of his tattered gray Jacket appeared the tarnished insignia of a captain. The quick tears dimmed his eyes even now as he re called' anew that final parting following Appomattox, the battle-worn faces of hla men, and his own painful journey homeward, defeated, wounded and as no home when he a heap of ashes and a few weed-grown acres. No familiar face greeted him; not even a slave was left. Ho had honestly endeavored to re main there, to face the future and work It out alone; he persuaded himself to feel that this was his paramount duty to the state, to the memory of the dead. But those very years of army life made such a task impossible; the dull, dead monotony of routine, the loneliness, the slowness of results, became intolerable. As it came to thousands of his comrades, the call of the West came to him, and at last he yielded, and drifted toward the frontier. The life there fascinated him, drawing him deeper and deeper Into its swirling vortex. He became freighter, mall carrier, hunter, government scout, cowboy, foreman. Once he had drifted into the mountains, and took a chance In the mines, but the wide plains called him back once more to their desert loneliness. What an utter waste it all seemed, now that he looked back upon it. Eight years of fighting, hardship and rough living, and what had they brought him? The reputation of a hard rider, a daring player at cards, a quick shot, a scorner of danger, and a bad man to fool with—that was the whole of a record hardly won. The man's eves hardened, his lips set firmly, as this truth csme crushing home. A pretty life story surely, one to be proud of, and with probably no better ending than an Indian bullet, or the flash of a revolver in some barroom fight The narrow valley along which he was traveling suddenly changed its direction, compelling him to climb the rise of the ridge. Slightly below the summit he halted. In front extended the wide expanse of the Arkansas valley, a scene of splendor under the golden rays of the sun, with vivid contrast of colors, tbe gray of rooks, tbe yellow of send, the brown of W tant hills, tbe green of vegetation, and the silver sheen of tbe stream half hidden behind the fringe of cot* tonwoods lining its banks. Thrs was a sight Keith had often looked upon, but always with as^reetatton, and fee Ike momsnt h]s eyes swept aeroes from bluff to bluff without thought except for its wild beauty. Then he perceived something which instantly startled him into attention—yonder, close beside the river, just beyond that ragged bunch of cottonwoods, slender spirals of blue smoke were visible. That would hardly be a camp of freighters at this hour of the day, and besides, the Santa Fe trail along here ran close In against the bluff, coming down to the river at the ford two miles further west. No party of plainsmen would ever venture to build a fire in so exposed a spot, and no small company would take the chances of the trail. But surely that appeared to be the flap of a canvas wagon top a little to the right of the smoke, yet all was so far away he could not be certain. He stared In that direction a long while, shading his eyes with both hands, unable to decide. There were three or four moving black dots higher up the river, but so far away he could not distinguish whether men or animals. Only as outlined against the yellow sand dunes could he tell they were advancing westward toward the ford. Decidedly puzzled by all this, yet determined to solve the mystery and unwilling to remain hidden there until night, Keith led his horse along the slant of the ridge, until he attained a sharp break through the bluff leading down into tbe valley. It was a rugged gash, nearly impassable, but a half hour of toil won them the lower prairie, the winding path preventing the slightest view of what might be meanwhile transpiring below,, Once safely out In the valley the river could no longer be seen, while barely a hundred yards away, winding along like a great serpen^, ran the deeply rutted trail to Santa Fe. In neither direction appeared any^slgn of human life. As near as he could determine from those distant cottonwoods outlined against the sky, for the smoke spirals were too thin by then to be observed, the spot sought must be considerably to the right of where he had emerged. With this idea in mind he advanced cautiously, hiB every sense alert, searching anxiously for fresh signs of passage or evidence of a wagon train having deserted the beaten track, and turned south. The trail Itself, dustless and packed hard, revealed nothing, but some five hundred yards beyond the ravine he discovered what he sought—here tw© wagons had turned sharply to the left, their wheels cutting deeply enough into the prairie sod to show them heavily laden. With the experience of the border he was able to determine that these wagons were drawn by mules, two span of each, their small hoofs clearly defined on the turf, and that they were being driven rapidly, on a sharp trot as they turned, and then, a hundred feet further, at a slashing gallop. Just outside their trail appeared the marks of a galloping horse. A few rods farther along Keith came to a confused blur of pony tracks swooping In from the oust, and the whole story of the chase was revealed as though he hful witnessed it with his own eyes. They must havo been crazy, or else impelled by Home grave necessity, to venture along this trail In so small a party. And they were traveling west west! Keith drew a deep breath, and swore to himself, "Of all the blame fools!" lie perceived the picture in all its grewsome details—tho two muledrawn wagons -moving slowly along the trail in the early morning; the band of hostile Indians suddenly swooping out from some obscure hiding place in the bluffs; the discovery of their presence; the desperate effort at escape; the swerving from the open trail in vain hope of reaching the river and finding protection underneath Its banks; the frightened xnuleB galloping wildly, lashed into a frenzy by the man on horseback; the pounding of the ponies' hoofs, punctuated by the exultant yells of the pursuers. Again he swore: "Of all the blame fools!" <T/0 BR CONTINUED.) Manuscript of Thirteenth Century.

Of this number Jhe local help will provide about 1124.000, which will leave about 50,000 extra farm hands. There is, therefore, a great demand for this class of laborers in all parts of Western Canada. In order to meet the requirements it has been arranged to grant very low railway rates from all boundary points reached by Canadian railways. In order to secure these rates it will be necessary for you to> call on one of the following authorized agents of the Canadian government: M. V. McTnnes, 176 Jefferson Avenue, Detroit, Michigan; C. A. Laurier, Marquette, Michigan; J. S. Crawford, Syracuse, N. Y.; Thos. Hetherlngton, Room 202, 73 Tremont Street, Boston, Masa.; H. M. Williams, 413 Gardner Bldg., Toledo, Ohio; Geo.

Grieve, Auditorium Building, Spokane, Wash. This will give to intending harvest laborers a splendid opportunity to look over the magnificent wheat fields of Western Canada and will give them the best evidence that can be secured of the splendid character of that country from the farmer's standpoint. There will be at least 200,000,000 bushels of wheat harvested within tho area of the three provinces above named this year and it Is expected that the yield will run from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. Many farmers, this year, will net, as a result of their labors, as much as $8 to $10 per acre and many of them wiU deposit as profits as much as $8,000» to $10,000. The wide publicity that has been, given to tbe excellent crop that is being raised in central Alberta and southern Alberta, central Saskatchewan and southern Saskatchewan, and also In Manitoba, will increase tho price of lands in these three provinces from ?:i to $5 per acre and the man who was fortunate enough to secure lands at from $12 to f20 per acre will have reason for gratification that ha exercised sufficient forethought' to invest, while the man who was fortunate enough to secure a homestead of 1<>0 acres free will also have a greater reason to feel pleased. Notwithstanding the great addition to the acreage this year over last and the large crop that will be ready for harvest there is no reason to becoma alarmed that the harvest will not be reaped successfully. There will be a great demand for these low rates during the next couple of months; bo .sure to make your application tn any of ihe agents above mentioned that may be in your territory at as early a date as possible. Harvesting will commence about the 2fith of July and continue for five or six weeks, when threshing will begin and there will bo plenty of work until November. Father Loses an Excuse.

Notice The village tax roll for the year 1911 is now in my hand* for collection. H. R. Qear, Tillage Treasurer TRANSLATED By HARRY VAN AMBERG Copyrigbt, 1910, by American Press Association. From tbe date of the first settlement of America there was warfare with tbe Indians, and during the war of the Revolution there was also war with the British. But by that time the Indian fighting had retreated westward. In 1777 Harrodsburg, Ky., was sur rounded by red men, and the people, not daring to go out to bunt for game, were often in great straits for food. The settlement was protected by one of those stockade forts used at that time for keeping off savages, and when they were hostile the Inhabitants of the place were obliged to keep within its inclosure. During this Indian hostility and consequent lack of food a youth of sixteen made himself Invaluable by leaving the fort before dawn, hunting all day and returning after nightfall with the game he had shot. James Ray was the name of this brave boy, and he afterward became a general officer in the United States army. One day Ray and a companion were outside the fort shooting at a mark. Suddenly Ray heard the report of a rifle and his friend fell dead. It did not require a process of reasoning for Ray to know that the shot had come from an Indian. Looking about him he saw the redskin who had killed his friend and raising his rifle was about to shoot him when there was a whoop from another quarter. Then Ray took to his heels and ran like a deer toward the fiort a few hundred yards distant. Ray was a very quick runner. The Indians could not catch him, but they followed him with a brisk fire. He reached the fort without having been hit, but found the gates closed. Those within-had heard the firing, had shut themselves in and were too terrified to open the ga£es. Ray called upon them to let him in, but fearing that if they did the savages would follow him and massacre the garrison they refused to do so. Ray threw himself fiat on the ground, a stump covering him from the fire of the enemy. That is, the Indians couldn't hit him, though their bullets sang in such proximity to his ears as to make him think that the next would cut off one of them, or perhaps tear a strip out of his side or go through his foot. He was but half a dozen steps from the fort, within which he would be safe if be could only get there. But this was impossible so long as the Indians were threatening him. Near enough to see those in the fort Jooking through tbe loop holes he talked with them about ways to extricate him from his position. While the bullets were singing on either side of him he was conversing with his mother. There seemed no way to relieve him except to open the gates, and by doing this many lives might be sacrificed in an ineffectual attempt to save one. There was one in the fort who suffered as much, doubtless far more, than Ray himself. That was his mother. She looked through a loophole, where sbe could see him lying in hia perilous position, and she could see each spurt of smoke as it left an Indian rifle, knowing that it marked the sending of a bullet to kill her boy. And Ray could not only hear the bullet sing by him and feel the dust sprinkling over him, but saw his danger re« fleeted In his mother's face. Hour after hour passed without any change in the situation. When it seemed impossible for him to He any longer in one position and he attempted to change it, the consequent exposure of some portion of his body would draw more fire, admonishing him to endure the constrained attitude rather than risk a wound by trying to relieve it. The ground on each side of him was torn up in furrows by the bullets that had been shot through it. and he was covered by dust they had thrown upon him. Night was coming on and the Indians were drawing nearer. When it became dark there could be nothing to prevent the savages from coming near enough to take hbx or to shoot him from a position where the stump would not protect him. For four hours he had laid in view of those in the fort, his mother trying to encourage him, yet herself needing encouragement, when a sudden thought occurred to bim. '^For heaven's sake," he cried, "dig a hole under the cabin wall and take me in." All wondered why they hadn't thought of the plan before. Pick tnd spade were brought, and a hole was sunk in the ground. Then when it was of a deptb sufficient to excavate under the wall, a channel was run oat to the young hunter and he was drawn within tbe fort. Bay had no sooner emerged from the hole than be found himself hogged in bis mother's arms, and the others crowded round to congratulate him. The redskins beard the shout of triumph that was raised In the fort and knew that the man they were firing at bad escaped. But how? It was still light enough for them to keep in view the stump behind which be bad taken refuge, and had he got up and been assisted ove*v_tbe stockade he would have bean in their roll view. The gate aad not been opened. Surely the' paleface sad bean translated into the fort bf the Great Spirit ££ mmmiMwimfim* To the Citizens of Pinckney and Vicinity.

"Certainly, by all means," said the judge quickly. The captain turned .aatt confronted Annie. Addressing her in his customary aggressive manner, he said: "You promised Judge Brewster that you'd produce the woman who called at Underwood's apartment the night of the shooting?" Annie made no reply, but looked at the lawyer. The captain grinned as he added: "The witness wants instructions, judge." "You can be perfectly frank, Mrs. Jeffries," said the lawyer reassuringly. "We have no desire to conceal anything from Capt Clinton." Annie bowed. "Yes," she said slowly; "1 promised Judge Brewster that she would come here to-night.M . "Did she promise to come?" growled the captain. "Yes." "Well, where is she?" he demanded.

If this woman ever does get here, the moment she leaves the house Maloney has instructions to arrest her, but I guess we needn't worry. She has probably forgotten her appointment. Some people are very careless in that respect." Moving toward the door, he added: "Well, If it's all the same to you, I'll wait downstairs. Good-night." He went out, his hat Impudently tilted back on his head, a sneer on his lips. The banker turned to the judge. "I told you how it would be," he said scornfully. "A flash In the pan!" The lawyer looked askance at Annie. "You are sure she will come?" he asked. "Yes, I am sure!" With concern she added: "But the disgrace^ of arrest! It will, kill her! Oh, Judge, don't let them arrest her!" "Tell me who she Is!" commanded the lawyer sternly. It was the first time he had spoken to her harshly and Annie, to her dismay, thought she detected a.note of doubt in his voice. Looking toward the banker, she replied: "I can't tell you just now—she'll be here soon—" "Tell me now—I insist," said the lawyer with growing impatience. "Please—please don't ask me!" she pleaded. Mr. Jeffries made an angry gesture. "As I told you, Brewster, her whole story is a fabrication trumped up for some purpose—God knows what object she has in deceiving us! I only know that I warned you what you always may expect from people of her class." The Judge said nothing for a monient. Then quietly lie whispered the banker: "Go into my study for a few moments, will you, Jeffries?" The banker made a gesture, as if utterly disgusted with the whole business. "I am going home," he said testily. "I've had a most painful eveningmost painful. Let me know the result of your Investigation as soon as possible. Good night. Don't disturb me to-night, Brewster. To-morrow will do." He left the worn In high dudgeon, banging the door behind him. Annie burst into a laugh. "Don't disturb him!" she mimicked. "He's going to get all that's coming to him."

Alicia shook hands with him, at the same time looking inquiringly at Annie, who, by a quick gesture, told her that the Judge knew nothing of her secret. The lawyer went on: "Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., wishes to speak to you. I said I thought there'd be, no objection; you don't mind. May she?" , "Yes," murmured Alicia. "Your husband was here," said the Judge. "My husband!" she cried, startled. Again she glanced inquiringly at Annie and tried to force a smile. "Yes," said the lawyer; "he'll be glad to know you're here. I'll' tell him." Turning to Annie, he said: "When you're ready, please send and—" "Very well, Judge." The lawyer went out and Alicia turned round breathlessly. "My husband was here?" she exclaimed. "Yes." "You've told Mr» Brewster nothing?" Annie shook her head.-. "I couldn't!" she said. "I tried to, but I couldn't. It seems so hard, doesn't It?" Alicia laughed bitterly and Annie went on:."I was afraid you weren't coming!" "The train was late!" exclaimed Alicia evasively, "I went up to Stamford to say good-by to my mother." "To say good-by?" echoed her companion in surprise. "Yee^" said the other tearfully. "I have said good-by to her—I have said good-by to everybody—to everything— to myself—i must give them all up— I must give myself up." 0 "Oh, it isn't as bad as that, surely?"

' Peat Bogs of Country, However, Contain Billions of Tons That Can Be Utilized in :;_the-ftrtjjre.. ; .- One of the uv»t serious ntpblems at the present? tin* is due Ui the fact that on the average nearly 5¾ per cent of the coal ui the mines is left either in or at the mines and Js inaccessible for the future1 generations. *;. For example, according/to CassteVi Magazine, In 1907 approximately 400,- 000,000 tons of coal were left In or at„tbe.:saaij»-:. mines/from which the 480,000,000 tons were ^ken. To stimulate |he possible use of various grades of fu*l 'and safe jand successful methods &.<gnJ»injr.MM** material at present left in the mines are some of the problems of the United States bureau of mines. Problems of combustion are being carefully studied by means of stationary boiler plants, house heating boilers and a long combustion chamber; proper classification and relative prices for coals by means of specifications and purchase by contract, and more economical use and utilization of fuels heretofore not regarded as adapted to such purposes by means of briquettlng, coking and producer gas plants. Among these fuels is peat, samples of which have been used in the making of producer gas. The use of peat for domestic purposes in European countries dates .back several hundred years, but the extensive development in methods of mining .and utilizing peat has been largely within the last ten years. At the present time in many of the European countries peat ia a large source of power development through the aid of the gas pro^ ducer and engine, and the utilization of the, peat bogs is becoming general. Some idea of the extent of this development may be had from the statement that Russia alone mines annually over 5,000,000 tons of dry peat. It Is estimated by the United States geological survey that the bogs of this country contain * approximately 12,888,000,000 tons of dry peat commercially available. At a market value of $3 per ton for machine peat bricks, this represents over $38,600,000,000. The Canadian government Is carrying on extensive researches relating to 'the use of peat, as this fuel Id found In very large areas in Canada. The cost of preparing peat for the market is comparatively small. Reliable figures are not Available for the 'said: • • -"•• "Ask Mrs, Jeffrie* to come up."

An unpleasant adventure recently befell a Bavarian officer who was taking observations above the fortress of Ingolstadt, Germany, from a captive balloon. A sudden and violent gust of wind snapped the mooring cable and carried the aerostat up and away at a dlizy speed. The officer, who was alone in the car, attempted to empty the balloon by means of the ripping cord, hut could not get this to work. Meanwhile, he had been-carried to an altitude of 1,500 feet and was beginning to feel the exhausting effects of this rapid change of elevation. Realising that his situation was desperate, fee exerted all his powers, and managed to clamber up to the envelope and slash a hole in it, whereupon the balloon descended even more rapidly than it had riaen. When near the earth he was again in imminent peril, but he made a jump for It and had the good luck to be caught by the friendly branch of a tree.

This group of Islands* while very inconspicuous on the ordinary maps, baa become noted in every dairjrtng district of the globe. This reputation is mainly due to the fast that more 'than a hundred years ego some wise 'breeders living within KSbetr borders foresaw the results of mixed or mongrel breeding and caused laws to be enacted which excluded all foreign cattle except for purposes of slaughter. The present day type of the Jersey j-and Guernsey is due to this policy coupled with wise mating and selection through a long series of generations. Wbitetthe Jersey and Guernsey have many points in common it Is of the 'Guernsey that we are asked to write at this time. The 'Guernsey Is distinctively a dairy cow, having been developed with 'that sole object in view. Further she has been reared as a butter producer, Abutter bemg the chief dairy commodity ^marketed from the island. Consequently she is better adapted to a creamery or market milk trade than to a condensing or cheese producing section. Guernsey Island is smaller than one of Michigan's townships, and an inten- ^sinkJfyateni of- farming has been isaperative. The methods of manageintent practised are those which woott not conduce to large size, and the breed, is not more than medium; mature cows averaging somewhat upwards of 1,000 lbs. Previous to importation into the United States much leas attention seems to have been given to style* symmetry, and external appearance In this breed than hi some others, the objects sought by breeders being a useful rather than a beautiful animal, and an animal giving * largo amount of rather highly cototjfed dairy product*. If we consider numbers eff animals in the United States the Guernsey is considerably below the Jeeeey and the Holstein. There are two chief reasons for this, first their comiwratively late introduction and discrimination in their country, and second the limited area of their native hanue. The character of the Guernseys selected for the Pan American Model Dairy and the sensational work of the cow, Mary Marshall, teemed to bring the 'Guernsey breed 'into considerable Tffomtnence. A vigorous plan of advertising followed ty the Yeksa Suntream and her succf seors have further increased the popular Interest in Guernseys, and extended their reputation ftflto dairying sections, In some of which no representatives or at least only a few members of the breed can be found. That the Guernsey cow will in time exclude the other rdairy breeds is not a matter 'dt serious thought by any one. tout that tfihe is entitled to an equal place among them is universally con- The shove cut is of the Guernsey ©ow, -Mary BteFarlandy-and shows~sn aatmal Of excellent type and conformation for dairy performance. ssj~t^uxri_nLruJxrxrKriJ*"Lr^r^'^^^*w* s^s^^"^-^"fcM"""i*a*Tr'"sr"»r"as'ne~TsTa'n A Pig Trough Easy to Fill and Easy to Clean ;By R.

"I love a gun," he confessed recently, "but I am almost as happy when I am fishing the pools of Dee with a long day before me." . Nest to shoootlng and fishing, King George's warmest admiration Is reserved for the Rugby code of football* Not long ago he expressed the opinion that Rugby was the Ideal game for* all ranks of the army and navy, as It Kept the men "fit," taught them to realize the virtues of self-discipline^ and to withstand hard knocks. Then, again, his majesty Is a capital swimmer, and has acjnally . saved life from drowning. This interesting event took- place when, as a youth, he went around the world with his broth* er in the Bacchante. A bluejacket fell overboard and Xing George went in after him and bett him up until assistance arrived. In the "boom" period of cycling, hta majesty was often seen a-wheel; while cricket, of course, he has constantly played and continues to follow with the interest of a keen observer. Can't Lose 'Em.

STATE FIRE MARSHAL PALMER ASKS ALL MICHIGAN TO COOPERATE. fiPFCIFtEft JULY 86 AS "CLEAN-UP HEARS MUCH TO STATE SHIPPERS DAY FOR MICHIGAN." Martha! P«imer Has Sent Out in. structions to Presidents of Vil< lag?s and Fire Marshals Throughout the State. A member of the British parliament. Sir Henry Seymour King, has been unseated because it was found that he had been "guilty of treating his constituents lavishly." The cable does not explain' whether he furnished barrels of beer or boxes of campaign cigars for the purpose of winning the favor of the voters, or whether he went so far as to distribute bottles of scotch and soda. In any event, the Judges who considered his cafe were not disposed to excuse him on tbe plea that if beer or cigars were distributed they were passed around by his friends who were eager to "put him over." In England they have a corrupt practices act which is enforced without the necessity of such dilatory proceedings as have characterized th ' "lmer case. State Insurance Commissioner Palmer, who, under the recent act passed by "the legislature, was made state Are marshal, is endeavoring to make several changes in the present conditions relative to fire protection, and along this line has caused to be sent out to the Are chiefs, presidents of villages and fire marshals of the state a few instructions to follow, and has designated Tuesday, July 25, as "Clean-up day for Michigan." The work is an entirely new departure in the state, and it is hoped that the commissioner's effort will be met with results. Here is the letter being sent out: "It ia the desire of this department to have a concerted, uniform eflorl on the part of all officials made ao bj the fire marshal law to clean up oui state, and to accomplish this we havt set apart Tuesday, July 25, to be designated as 'Clean up day.' "Will you not make it your especial business on this date to Bee that: th« law is strictly enforced in your community with reference to the cleaning up of basements, alleys and hazardous buildings? "This is the time of year when,, because of the extreme heat and ', dr> weather, we are especially confronted with the danger of fires, and will yot npt do your part to help prevent'' thf great loss of life and property occasioned through the carelespneBS of our people in the storing of rubbish, shavings, excelsior, tissue paper and thf like in basements and in alleys, arte s e a to it that your locality upon 'thii date is cleaned up? "Give the department the benefit ol your active co-operation in its effort to reduce Are hazard In Michigan, and thereby reduce the cost of Are insurance to our people."

It would take an expert to decide between them. Invites People to Use Department. ' State Insurance Commissioner Palmer, realizing that few people in the state are taking advantage of the information bureau of the state insurance department, desires to make it known to the public that the department 1B the forum, of the people and that all questions involving insurance policies, whether life, causualty or fire, wlU receive attention when referred to the department- Mr. Palmer asserts that a great many poor people have in the past paid at least half of their insurance f-money to some lawyer who did no more than answer a few questions regarding the policy, or made an effort to hasten tbe cqllection from the insurance company. Mr. Palmer i» of the opinion that the people of the state can save many thousands of dollars each year in attorney feeB if they will use the department more as a medium of information and makes public the following communication which is addressed to the people of the entire state: "We desire to call to the attention of the insuring public of Michigan our conception of the functions of the Insurance department in its relation with them. In our opinion the insurance department is the forum of th« people, and. we cordially invite the people of our state to freely communicate with this department in all matters pertaining to insurance, anc particularly where there are differences between the companies and the insured, to consult this department A Michigan man remembers when h e wee getting %2t and Taft $12 on the „ same paper, Now Taft is presides! and gets $76,000.

About 15,000 weeders ar^ caring for the cips, JW^daily wage rangingTrpm II to tl^wT It, eoats Michigan farmers about |35 an acre to harvest their beets. The usual return from . an acre doubles the tilling cost A* a beet sugar producing state Michigan now ranks first. Up to 1910 California occupied the first round -of the ladder, but last year Michigan jumped far ahead of the southern d}$- trict. California and Colorado each produce two crops of beets yearly. Factories in various parts of Michigan are now being overhauled in;; readiness . for manufacturing the heavy yield. Additions are being constrained to practically every one of t$e' 16 plants, and the indications are that the campaign next fall and winter w4H last three x>r four weeks longer than customary: The growing of sugar beets has become tbe great farm industry of the state. More acreage was offered manufacturers last spring than they'' would* accept, and the probabilities are that next year a still greater acreage than planted this year will he devoted to the crop. Farmers grow beets because they get greater profits on their investment. It costs more to grow beets than it does wheat or any of the coarse grains, but the returns are five and six times .what is received for the other staples. The seed from which Michigan farmers- grow beets is furnished by the sugar manufacturers. It is imported from Germany and is of the finest^ quality. It is sold to the farmers for what it costs the Tnanufacturers. The reason for this is that manufacturers are desirous of bringing the sugar percentage to as high a point as possible, and if they permitted the farmers to buy their own seed there would be many growers who would purchase a cheap grade and take chances on its producing heavy. "The crop prospects are* the best in the history of the state, and that means they are the best in the history of any state in the country," said an official of the Michigan Sugar (Jo., which operates six plants in various parts of the state. "The beet sugar industry means the retaining of more than $20,000,000 in Michigan. This is. shown by the fact that the sugar is worth probably ~ $12,000,000. Michigan, farmers get $8,000,000 or more for their beets, and there is tbe cost of cultivation, etc., to say nothing cf the interest on the money." t a cofilir^n the state rat agreed fjba d for^tfans tair COL flelHtl Slfjsig BE GREATEST E*fl O B T A I N E D ^ ^ # ^ t S S S ^ '*' fs it ne m its shouftd be opened between the roads of the state.

It has been reported that the freight steamer Durkee, fitted out with a bar, is being used as a means of furnishing the people of Iosco county, a local option county, with liquor. A warrant was sworn out, but the sheriff waB ordered from the boat when he attempted to serve it. Attorney-General . Franz Kuhn states that the plan was unlawful. He said the only boats that could legally [sell liquor were those passenger vessels which tan between certain ports on a regular schedule. • "I have heard from Iosco people that the Durkee is a freight boat and not run on a regular general schedule," said Mr. Kuhn. "Section 6436 of the compiled laws of 1897 provides that it is unlawful to sell llauor on waters of the state outside the boundaries of any. city, village, or township, except on passenger boats* legally licensed and registered under the laws of the United States, while en route between porta of a regular established line.

"That's our object, Isn't It, Mr. Jetfries— to find out?" he said sarcastically. "What's the name of this mysterious witness?" exclaimed the Danker testily. "If the police haven't been able to find her why should Howard's wife be able to do so? There was a report that she herself was—" He paused and added, "Did she tell you jgho It was?" "No." isald the judge dryly, "she will tell us to-night" ' The banker bounded in his seat. "You'll see," he cried. "Another flash In the pan. I don't like being mixed, up in this matter—it's disagreeable— most disagreeable." Dr. Bernstein puffed a thick cloud of smoke into the air and said quietly: "Tea, sir; it U disagreeable—but— unfortunately It la lite." Suddenly the door opened and Capt. Clinton appeared, followed by hla fldue Achates, Detective Sergeant Maloney. Both men were in plain clothes. The captain's manner was condescendingly pejite, the attitude of .a man to sura of nig own position that he had little respect for the opinion of any one else. With an effort at amiability ho began: "Got your massage. Judge—came at soon, as j could.

"Yes," went on Judge Brewster calmly, "you were instrumental In obtaining a confession from him. I'm raising a Question as to the truth of that confession." There was a sudden interruption caused by the entrance of the butler, who approached his master and whispered something to him. Aloud the judge said: "Ask her to wait till we are ready." " The -servant retirecLand Capt._Cllnton turned to the judge deference, he said: "Say, Mr. Brewster, you're a great constitutional lawyer—the greatest in this country—and I take off my hat to you, but I don't think criminal law Is In your line." Judge Brewster pursed his lips and his eyes flashed as he retorted quickly: "X don't think it's constitutional Jo take a man's mind away from him and substitute your own. Capt Clinton." "What do you mean?" demanded the chief. 1 mean that instead of bringing out of this man his own true thoughts of Innocence, you have forced into his consciousness your own false thoughts of bis guilt." The judge spoke slowly and deliberately, making each word tell. The police bully squirmed uneasily on his chair. "I don't follow you, judge. Better stick to International law. This police court work la beneath you." "Perhaps it is," replied the lawyer quickly without losing his temper. Then he asked: "Captain, will you answer a few questions V "It all depends," replied the other insolently. 'If you don't," cried the judge sharply, "I'll ask them through the medium of your own weapon—the press. Only my press will not consist of the one or two yellow journals you inspire, but the independent, dignified Dress of the United States." The captain reddened. "I don* like the* insinuation, judge." "I don't insinuate, Capt, Clinton,)' went on the lawyer severely, "I accuse yon of giving an untruthful version of this matter to two sensational newspapers in this city. These scurrilous, sheets have tried this young man in their columns and found him guilty, thus prejudicing the whole community against him before be comes to trial. In no other country in the civilised world would this be tolersttd, except m a oondtry overburdened with free* dom," Cant CMntoa lajjgaed boisterously. T h e early bird eatches the-worm," be grinned.

You have linked her name with that of Underwood. The whole country rings with falsities about her. In my opinion, Capt Clinton, your direct object is to destroy the value of any evidence she may give in her husband's favor." The chief looked aggrieved. "Why, I haven't said a word." With mocVrTuTElng to his sergeant, he asked: "Have I, Maloney?" "But these sensation-mongers have!" cried the judge angrily. "You are the only source "from whom they could obtain the Information." "But what do I gain ?" demanded the captain with affected innocence. "Advertisement—promotion," replied tbe judge sternly. "These same papers speak of you as the greatest living chief—the greatest public official— oh. you know the political value of that sort oJLthing as well as I do." Judge Brewster picked up Borne papers from.his desk and read from one of them. "Captain, in the case of the People against Creedon—after plying the defendant with questions for six hours you obtained a confession from him?" "Yes, he told me be set the place on fire," "Exactly—bu$ It afterward developed that be was never near tbe place." "Well, he told me." "Yes. He told you, but it turned out that he was mistaken."' "Yes," admitted the captain reluctantly. Judge Brewster again consulted the papers In his hand. "You're quite right, captain—my mistake—it was homicide, but—it wss an untrue confession." "Yes." "It was the same thing in the Callahan case," went on the judge, picking up another document'lu the case of the People against TuthlU—and— Cosgrove—Tuthlll confessed and died in prison, aad Cosgrove sitarward acknowledged that he and not Tuthill was the. guilty man.? "Well," growled the captain, "mistakes sometimes happen." Judge Brewster stopped and laid down his eyeglasses.

As he himself said to his wife: They said I-did it—and I knew I didn't, but after I looked at that shining pistol I don't know what I said or did—everything became a blur and a blank.' Now, I may tell you, captain, that this condition fits in every detail the clinical experiences of nerve specialists and the medical experiences of the psychologists. Ait* er five hours' constant cross-questioning while In a semi-dazed condition, you impressed on him your own ideas —you extracted from him not the thoughts that were in his own consciousness, but those that were in yours. Is that the scientific fact, doctor r "Yes," replied Dr. Bernstein, "the optical capdvatlon of Howard Jeffries' attention makes the 'whole case complete and clear to the physician." Capt Clinton laughed loudly. "Optical captivatlon la good!" Turning to his sergeant he asked: "What do you think of that, Maloney?" Sergt Maloney chuckled. "It's a new one, eh?" "No, captain—It's a very old one," Interrupted the lawyer sternly, "but it's new to us. We're barely on the threshold of the discovery. It certainly explains these other cases, doesn't it?" "I don't know that it does," objected the captain, shaking his head. "I don't acknowledge—" Judge Brewster sat down. Looking the policeman squarely in the face, he said slowly and deliberately; "Capt. Clinton, whether you acknowledge it or not, I can prove that you obtained these confessions by means of hypnotic suggestion, and that is a greater crime against society than any the state punishes or pays you to prevent." The captain laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Indifferently he said: "I guess the boys up at Albany can deal with that question." "The boys up at Albany," retorted the lawyer, "know as little about the laws of psychology as you do. This will be dealt with at Washington!" The captain yawned. "I didn't come here to hear about that—you were going to produce the woman who oalled on Underwood the night of the murder—that was what 1 came here for-—not to hear my methods criticised—where is she?" "One thing at a time," replied the judge. "First I wanted to show you that we know Howard Jeffries' confession is untrue. Now we'll take up the other question." Striking a bell on his desk, he added: "This woman can prove that Robert Underwood committed suicide." "She can, eh?" exclaimed the captain sarcastically. "Maybe she did it herself. Some one did it, that's sure!" The library door opened aad the butler entered "Yes, some one did it!" retorted the judge; "we agree there!" To the servant he said: "Ask Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., to come here." The servant left the room and the captain turned to the Judge with a laugh: "Is she the one? Ha! ha!—that's easy—" Tbe judge nodded. "She has promised to produce the missing witness to-night" "She has, eh?" exclaimed the cap* tain. Rising quickly from his chair, he crossed the room and talked in an undertone with his sergeant This new turn in the case seemed to interest him. Meantime Mr. Jeffries, who had followed every phase of the questioning with cleee attention, left big seat and went ever to Judge Brewster. "Is it possible," he exclalmod, "la it possible that Underwood shot himself? I never dreamed of doubting Howard's confession!" More cordially he went on: "Brewster, if this is true, 1 owe you a debt of gratttua*>~ aSbtof ithe"con&^on:did~you'"sbowT d 0 M »lnAid " • * • * - « * PASTORAL OF THE BIG CITY As 8un Sinks, Policemen 8«*k Cafe's Back Room and Footpad Prepares for Duty, The sun was ainu6u£ly sinking behind a fear thousand* buildings, varying In height from the one-story edifice on the western water front to the 2(H story warehouse adjacent. It may seem odd to say that the sun was sinking sinuously, but It had to sink in that way to give a proper performance and -the corners-of- each aadbuildlng with its rosy stain. Up in the edge of the sky you could see dusk, getting ready to do business. The evening chimes rang out from 118 trolley cars In the Immediate vicinity, and the softly musical resonance of the faraway elevated filtered through the circumambient air. It had to filter to get through, as a couple of thousand chimneys were on the job. The lone policeman on the beat folded his tent like an Arab and aa silently stole Into the nearest cafe. Here were other policemen. One woufd have said half the metropolitan force was in the back room, but this was not true. Only one-fifth of the force was there. Without the evening shadows began to, fall and the trusty footpad adjusted his rubber heels and heaved a sigh, feeling sorrowful, be knew not why, yet prepared to do his duty. The sun had now entirely disappeared into New Jersey—which is suffering enough for one night. We decline to prolong this pastoral. —Judge. , / Uncle Jenk's Appeal. Uncle Jenkand Aunt Neryy.Splgler, having been unable to get along peaceably, together, had separated,, on an amicable basis. Uncle Jenk took up his abode in an old men's home; Aunt Nervy kept the cottage and garden, and also retained the slender bank account. Under this arrangement the two old people were on tbe friendliest footing and Uncle Jenk made neighborly calls upon hiB wife at frequent intervals, often doing small bits of work about the premises, for which Aunt Nervy5 scrupulously paid him. On one occasion, the plastering having fallen from the ceiling, Uncle Jenk solicited the job of repairing, naming $6 as his price for the work, which Aunt Nervy considered excessive. "Why," she protested, "I know I could get Andy Oatch to do it cheaper than that." "Mebby ye might," allowed Uncle Jenk, mildly, "but I ain't nimble, like Andy; It'd take me a good bit longer than what it would him. 'Sides that, even if you couW git the work done a little cheaper, I should think you'd favor one that's kin to you, rather than a stranger." Uncle ^enk*g~logte^won~and He received his price.—Youth's Companion. a? Not for Mr. Hercules. Hercules had finished his twelfth labor. "That's the last!" he exclaimed.

"Where is that spot you call tbo 'lovers' lane?'" diffidently asks the young man while the young lady waits on the ho*el piazza. "Right down yonder," replies the clerk. "Just keep going until you see the porter from tbe barber shop. Lovers' lane is so crowded now that we have him stationed there to give the guests checks, so that each may have his turn,"—Judge's Library. The Point of the 8tory. A mother was greatly worried by her small daughter's habit of running away. Thinking to impress the child with the danger of getting lost, she told her a vivid story of some children who ran away to go nutting. Night found them far from borne and lost in the woods. With much art the mother told of a storm in the night and of the terrible distress of the parents and friends who bunted for the children until morning. She also told about the good breakfast prepared for the children, which ttfey missed because they did not reach home till 10 o'clock. The little girl listened Intently to every word, and the mother hoped that the story was making an impression. When she finished the child was silent for a few moments, as U expecting something more. Then she. asked, eagerly: "Did they get any nuts?"—Metropolitan Magazine. Burglar Befriended Him. A burglar was arrested for robbing a house up the state some time since, and the next morning the victim rushed wildly into tbe magistrate's office. As soon as he could get his breath to working again he told the official that he had come to see about tbe prisoner. "Glad you came down," was the affable response of the magistrate, "I suppose you want to appear against him." "Well, I guess not!" exclaimed the victim with a glad smile. "I want to kiss him on the brow and give him |10. Among other things that he stole from the house was a package of love letters that I wrote ot my wife before we were married."

In many parts of the east the Norway or sycamore maple is a favorite for street planting, though It Is somewhat intolerant of dust and smoke and is therefore better suited to rural districts and villages than congested city centers. As it Is a spreading tree, care should be taken to prevent Its bending too low. It thrives in southern California as well as any of the maples, but seems to thrive stilt better farther north. Nature seems to dictate an evergreen country, and it is somewhat puzzling to know why we have sycamores, cottonwoods, etc, almost identical with species found In eastern states. In central and northern California, where oaks are deciduous, the maples thrive and no objection should be made to use on street and highway. Wealth of Frankfort.

Deveolop Your Home Community We urge the farmer and dweller particularly to help develop his home market; increase his property values and market by supporting bis home newspaper and by supporting his home merchants. Before purchasing that next money order give your home merchant an opportunity to make you a cash price on the goods you require. Mind you we s a y cssh price. When you buy by mail you pay cash. It costs money to carry accounts and th» mail order houses realize it. With cash your borne merchant can buy cheaper and sell cheaper. If you are still determined to purchase by mail—at least go in and compare the goods received with those your merchant carries and then figure out how much money you have saved. Convince yourself that you can purchase as cheaply at home, quality and cash price considered, as you can by mail. Build ap your home community —-it spells prosperity—means increased values for city and farm property and products. Higher wages for your workers. Qive your trade to your home dealer the man that extends you credit when you are in need of it and dont take a mortgage on everything you possess. Elmination of the retail merchant spells monopoly. Do you want to see your small towns deserted and grass growing in the main streets? Do you want your town reduced to a postoffice and express office? Do you wish to be competed to send away for every article you use? Do you Mr. Parmer wish to bear the burden of the whole county expense for administration schools, highways, etc? Do you wish to destroy your home market, home institutions including your newspapers and be out of touch entirely with the value of your "products? Can you expect if yon are building a bouse, barn, etc to receive the same extensions of credit from strangers as you would from your home dealers whose best interests are identical with fonr own? Can yon for yonr own Individ* ual prosperity afford to do other than to co-operate with yonr home merchant in ell lines ?

A Puzzling Answer. ** Gomer Da vies was riding on the Central branch the other day when a very loquacious individual sat down beside him and began bombarding him with questions. Gomer got very tired of his talkative friend, but did not complain. Finally the fellow looked down and noticed that Gomer had a wooden leg. "How did you lose you leg?" he asked. "I will tell you upon one condition," said Gomer. "What is it?" That" you will not ask me another question." "All right." "It was bitten off." This aroused the curiosity of the questioner a great deal, but he made his word good and asked no further questions, —tTn~^eTTr~~Baid^Gojner, "that that fellow has lost a lot of sleep since then wondering what sort of an animay bit that leg off."—Kansas City Journal.

"My work as a mjner ls_ certainly easier than my work as 'president, of the miners," said Lewis. "As president I worked fifteen hours a day.

Pot^ftTaLiatjamtoiyTT-WeU, we wUl 0$ 20 per cent, is your case wooden leg. / The Cunningham coal claims, for flighting which Gifford Pinchot and Louis R. Glavis were dismissed from the government service, were on Monday thrown out as illegal by the department of the interior. This ends one phase of the scheme by which, it is alleged, the Morgan-Guggenheim interests sought to dominate the vast commercial interests of Alaska, and control one of the richest coal fields in the world. Walter L. Fisher, secretary of the interior, having approved the department's decision, as handed down by Fred Dennett, commissioner of the land office, the last door is believed to have been closed to the^Cunningham claimants. Their attorneys have threatened an appeal to the United States supreme court, but such an appeal can be based only on some point of law involved, and not on the findings of fact as announced by the department. The Cunningham claims have been in the public eye constantly for more than two years past. They brought about the Ballinger-Pinchot investigation by congress. The dismissal from the public service of Chief Forester Gifford Pinchot, Louis R. Glavis, a chief of-fleW division in the land office, and several minor officials was on charges of insubordination incident to their attacks on former Secretary Bellinger, whom they charged with being too favorably disposed toward the ettrfms In announcing the decision of the department Secretary Fisher, who succeeded Mr. Ballinger in March last, declared that new coal land lawB are needed in Alaska if that territory is to be developed properly. In a statement the secretary said: The thirty-three claims involved amounted to an aggregate area <.f 5,250 acres. The value of the land has been estimated high in the millions:— The coal—umuiacfd—hi—rfre" claims is said to be among the finest in the world. Commissioner Dennett makes frequent reference to the work of Glavis in prosecuting the government's case against the Cunningham claimants. RURAL COUNTIES FIGHTING BACK. Organize to Contravert Claim They Are Underassessed. From a communication received by the board -of supervisors at Ionia from Thomas J. G. Bolt, chairman of the Muskegon board, it develops that the rural districts are going to make a fight when the state board of equalization meets in September, against the statement made by representatives of Detroit and Grand Rapids boards of commerce, to the effect that the rural counties of the state are assessed a little more than 50 per cent of their cash value. The Ionia board, as well as all other boards in the rural'counties, have been asfced to raise a certain amount of money, and to appoint representatives to represent their county before the state board of equalization, for the purpose of showing that the claims made by the two cities are untrue. The communication also warns the members that a fund of $30,000 has been raised in Wayne and Kent counties, and at the present time they have men in several of the agricultural counties, investigating the records. Several of the counties have already named representatives, and an effort will be made to have the representatives from the several counties work in harmony. The democratic members of the Saginaw county board of supervisors have passed a resolution asking for a grand jury to investigate the alleged electon frauds in Saginaw county in 1910. This action follows the request of the board that F. W. Beuthen, the third member of the poor board, resign. At the time that the alleged election frauds were supposed to have happened Judge Kelly Searls, of Oratiot county, said that there was evidence of fraud, but that the guilty parties would never be brought to justice. x The state consolidation board, a board that works about once a half century in this state, after a meeting in Lansing, approved the proposed consolidation of the Marquette ft Southern railroad and the Munising railroad, both located in the upper peninsula. The Cleveland Cliffs people own the minority of the stock in both lines which are short in length. The merger in no way effects competition in that section of the state.

NINE I N D I C T M E N T S A F F E C T T H I R T Y - F I V E FIRMS. Government Charges Restraint of Trade in Violation of the Sherman Anti-Trust Law By Agreement With One Another. Nine Indictmefrte charging 35-&*n&« with restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law were reagainst as many associations and 84 ,!(H<lividual8, comprising the so-called "wire trust," affiliated with the steel industry. Prominent among the defendants are Frank Jay Gould, of New York, president of the Old Dominion Iron & J*ail Works Co.; Herbert .L. Satterlee, a son-in-law of J. Pierpont Morgan, and William P. Palmer, president of the American Steel & Wire Co., subsidiary of the U. S. Steel Corporation. "What this suit charges," said District " Attorney Wise, "is a trade agreement in restraint of trade." The government does not seek to establish a physical or fiscal merger of the properties or interests indicted, but a series of pools to maintain prices and apportion territory, in elimination of competition, and so in violation of. the Sherman act. Thus the suit appears as a further earnest of the government's determination to deal rigorously with restrictive trade agreements. There is no indication, however, that evidence gathered by the bureau of corporations in its Investigation of the Steel corporation played any part in the indictments. Only two subsidiary companies of the U. S. Steel corporation are mentioned, the American Steel ft Wire Co. and the Trenton Iron Co. The general charges In all th> Indictments are the same, allowing for the difference in the business in which the defendants were engaged, It is set forth that the various associations organized under their association names and each elected a supervisor, and adopted rules and regula« tlonBT CHANGES IM FACULTY.

Having set out in haste, he had ample time to repent in leisure. The road, little used at any time, and practically abandoned since the opening of the railway, soon led away from the valley and ran in tortuous windings and ingenious doublings over a spur of John's mountain. A t the top of the spur it speedily lost its identity in a succession o f wood roads, and, after following several of the latter to their vanishing points, Philip gave up the struggle and determined to let the horse find the w a y if he could. In common w i t h unequestrian mankind in general, Philip shared the belief in the inerrant pathfinding instincts of horse; but after another hour of hesitant wandering, duri n g which time he had been thrice garroted by low-swrhging branches, and impartially bruised about the legs by t h e efforts of the horse to squeeze between close-growing trees, his confidence in the sagacity of the animal beg a n to waver. From doubt to certainty is but a step, and Philip's faith in h o n e * want, the w a y of all delusions wJMaa4s»0)0s*sy beast stumbled on the <edf*vW> ravine, aikt helplessly to the tmplia—m^mn*--+x>Ap<\ hy t h r o w in ff h i s vie)er Into a heap of stones, Philip was half stunned by the fall. and when he came to himself he found t h a t he had gained a sprained ankle and lost a horse. Remembering ruefully the maxim about great haste and small •peed, h,e got up with some difficulty and continued his wanderings afoot until the pain in his a'nklebecame unbearable. After that there was nothing for i t but to sit doyrn and wait for daylight, and he was about to resign himself to this comfortless alternative, when lu1 heard a cock crow. Chickens argued inhabitants, nnd Philip dragged himself painfully in the direction of the :8onnd until he came to the log cabin of a mountaineer. It was but a miserable hovel of a single room and a l o f t , and its indwellers were doubtless Bedouins in other respects than in their hospitaJJty; but of the latter Philip soon had grateful assurances. He was taken in and cared for; the man making « p a fire in the crumbling stone tireplace while the woman bathed his swoli e n ankle and called a half-grown boy i r o m the loft to g o out after red clay for A poultice. And afterward they wonld fcave made him take the only bed in the •••bin if he had not insisted upon sleepl a g o n the floor before the fire. When P h i l i p awoke the next morning h e found himself as completely a priso n e r a s even Sharpless could have defrfred. Walking w a s out of the quest i o n , and his host had neither a horse sior the disposition to g o to Qlenco to mm : u Mr*'- procure one, though his offers of hospitality were as generous as he knew how to make them. Philip guessed at the loan's reason t o r not wishing t o appear^ in Glenco w h e n the mountaineer offered him a potation from a j u g d r a w n from its hiding-place beneath the puncheon floor, and forbore to prase the point, contenting himself with a req u e s t that the boy might be allowed to <*atry' a letter t o Ailacoochee. The permission w u given, and Philip wrote a not* t o Duncan, telling him of the accident and urging him to spare no pa ins4 t o keep RUgrow out of the hands o f Sbaxprass and his emissaries during t h e «afo*eed armistice. T h i s he inclosed, in a line t o Protheroe, in which 8a begged the y o u n g engineer t o dever^ fhe message to the Scotchman. -JNot Waving an envelope, he took that f r o m Be»en'« letter, drawing hi* pencil through 1H« o w n n a m e and Writing P r o t a e w r t ^ b o v e if; and, after many • x p U s U a n d preciM instructions, t h e ' boy left the cabin o n Thorndyke's er- Taadv^An hour afterward he w a s sitt i n g ttoatewtedTy on a bowlder b y the aide «t t l * Almtfooebet road, w a i t i n g In tnmejtU kUttaea for the caame^coming hljn>,af. thj> nacosaity foc-iurtbor exertion. He found a proxy in the course of therforenoon, and in due time the letter was delivered, not to Protheroe, but to Mr. Jenkins Tench, who answered the bearer's inquiry as to the whereabouts of the engineer, and who kindly volunteered to convey tbe misfive to that gentleman's office 011 the fourth floor of the Guaranty building. XVI. L O V E V K R S U S I D E A L S . Duncan slept"tTfrougli the forenoon of t h e day following the journey to Glenco, being no longer a young man, and having spent rather more thau half the night on the mountain with Kilgrow. He was eating u late dinner when Klsie, from her place at the window .announced the arrival of u visitor. "Who is it, then?" asked Duncan, whose mind was burdened/ with premonitions of legal processes and writs of surrender all pointing toYYJirjL_tlili precious document left in his custody. "1 think he's coming here; it's no one we know. Yes, he's hitching his horse. He's a big man with a smooth face." Duncan guessed Sharpless, and proceeded to fortify his caution by greater deliberation w i t h his dinner. Elsie answered the visitor's knock, and presently ca/ne in with a square of cardboard. "It's Mr. Sharpless," she said. "Aye?" said Duncan. "Do ye gang in an' sit wi' him tbe whiles I'm finishin' the bit dinner." Elsie obeyed dutifully, but she stood in such awe of Kilgrow's a r c h e n e m y that the suave lawyer had extracted no more than a half-dozen monosyllables from heT when her father came to relieve her. "Mr. J a m e s Duncan, I presume," said the visitor, affably, rising to greet the farmer. "The same," replied Duncan. "Sit ye doon, Master Sharpless." And in the exchange of civilities Elsie gladly mad? her escape to the kitchen. "I drove over to see you on a little matter of business," said the lawyer, rightly judging that he would lose ground in any attempt to measure circumlocutory swords with the Scotchman. "I come from Mr. T h o m d y k e , and he refers me to you for some information in regard to John Kilgrow." "Aye?" queried Duncan, who thoughi hardest w h e n he said the least, and who was prepared in advance to discredit the statements of the town company's attorney even if they should appear to be self-evident truths. "Yes. Mr. Thorndyke was obliged to leave for New York this morning, and before he went we had a conference •about lli^ m a i l e r in whicn ne has bee 11 representing John Kilgrow. I hardly need tell you that, as professional men. we soon came to a satisfactory understanding, and Mr. Thorndyke w a s quite willing that I should settle the claim with his client direct. He referred mo to you for tlie particular.**, saying that it would be necessary to approach Kilgrow through you on account of a foolish fear on the part of the old man touching some ancient difficulty with the revenuo j>cop!c." "Did Master Thorndyke gic ye n hit of a letter to me?" asked Duncan, warily. "I spoke of it, but he said it wouldn't be necessary, l i e w a s very much hurried, and there was little time to spare. He was called home by telegraph, 1 understood." Duncan ruminated thoughtfully for some minutes, considering not so much what he should say as h o w he could say the least and learn the most. "An' what is it ye'll be wantin' o' me. Master Sharpless?" he finally inquired. "Nothing more than that you will see Kilgrow and arrange a meeting. I should be g l a d to entertain him in Ailacoochee, but if he does not wish to come to t o w n I can go t o him, if he will appoint a fhne and place." "But I'm na sure I'll see aukl Johnnie in t h e n e x t twal'month," objected Duncan. "Why, I understood from Mr. Thorndyke that he lived here near you somewhere." Duncan shook his head. "He has na house in these parts that I ken." Sharpless tilted his chair and slipped his hands into his pockets. "I understand your reluctance, Mr. Duncan," he said, with a smile that had softened more than o n e recalcitrant witness. "You will pardon m y not mentioning it sooner, but I had not thought of aski n g you fco serve us in this matter without compensation. It will be a thou* sand dollars i n y o u r pocket when you bring Kilgrow t o my office in Ailacoochee." Duncan's solemn face gave no intimation of the strife stirred up within him b y the lawyer's shameless proposal— a furious s t r u g g l e between cautious shrewdness and righteous indignation. F o r the first, end perhaps the last, time in his life, wrath got the better of prudence, nnd he burst o u t in a storm of broad Scotch invective that put a sharp conclusion t o t h e interview. "Ye'11 bribe auld J a m i e Duncan, will y e ? Ye'll tilt yetrsel' beck in y e t chair in a man's ain hoose an' pit a price 011 t h e held o' h i s frien'?

T a k y e r dour face oot o' the hoose, before I'm forgettin' I'm a man o' peace an' a Chreestian! *' Sharpless w a s shrewd enough to see t h a t he had hopelessly ruined his case w i t h the irate Scot, and he w a s wise enough t o k n o w that he would probably make m a t t e r s worse by attempti n g to explain. He g o t away as soon a s he could, followed to the threshold b y the angry farmer, w h o continued to break the vials of his wrath over the lawyer's head aa l o n g as the latter w a s within bearing.

Believing no word of Sharpleas' story, he yet.hadU* vague fear that something was amiss with Thorndyke; and he was glad enough when, late in tbe afternoon, Protheroe rode up to the farmhouse. Duncan's first question was of Philip. "I supposed he was here; he hasn't been in town for two days. I came by the hotel and brought these letters, t h i n k i n g ihat hi* mi^hf. w a f i t thwtU-" A greiit ft»ur seized upon Duncan, "llobbie, man, are ye sure he didna go to N e w York this morn?" "I don't think he did. They said at the hotel that he hadn't been in since day before yesterday, and they'd know 't if he started on a journey this morning. Let me see those letters; no, he hasu't been there; most of these are postmarked yesterday." Duncan's fear was dispelled, but a new onC-i^me.quickly t o tuku it» plao*, I who sent him into the danger. He— he said I was resj)onsibie." Protheroe never knew the strength of his Jove until thai moment, but the gentler emotion was mingled with a dash of Kouteraptuous anger for the man who could be so pusillanimous as to lay the burden of his responsibilities upon the tender conscience of a young girl, and his resentment spoke bei^n: he could muzzle it. "That was ungenerous," he said. Oku iurimd awuy +0 the- vrindov* again, and her voice w i s unsteady when she answered him. "You mustn't say that; you don't understand; he was very unhappy and discouraged when he said it." l'rotheroe told himself that his conelusions were verified in so many words, and yet he had to grapple fiercely with the .spirit of lawlessness prompting him to apostatize once for all by telling her that she was more to him than she HOHM ever Ix; to Thorndyke, or to anyone else. When he could trust himself to apeak lie said, quietly: "Don't grieve; we'll liud him all right; I'll iind liiin and bring him back to you." fie meant to go when ho had said it, and he might have kept his resolution if she had not looked up into his face with her eyes full of trouble. "Pleasj don't—" she began, but the ungovernable impulse slipped the leash, and for . a moment l'rotheroe put the cup of possession to his lips and drauk deeply, talcing her in his arms and covering the burning cheeks with his kisses. Then a sudden sense of the enormity of hU transgression overwhelmed him, and, releasing her, he ran from the house and rlung himself into the saddle to gallop away toward Allacooehe-e with the ruins of a shattered ideal pelting him at every bound of the horse. 1.TO BE CONTINUED.] PtoMedos't"- and he began another battle with his invincible ctfution. Meanwhile Protheroe improved the silent interval by trying to learn from Elsie's face what she t h o u g h t or cared about Thorndyke's disappearance. Much, every way, he concluded, when Duncan spoke again. "Robbie, lad, the time's come when I'm in sair need o' good counsel. Ye winna lat yer place male ye boggle ower a bit o' advice?" "With the town company, you mean? I discharged myself this morning; b u t if I hadn't it would make no difference where I could be of service to you." "The gude Lord be thankit!" exclaimed Duncan, fervently; and then he proceeded Lo 1'elatH iu-fhoir proper or der the incidents in the history of Kilgrow's wrong and Thorndyke's ipiest. ending with an account of the attorney's visit to the farmhouse. Protheroe listened attentively, and he ^ a s ready with hid answer when Duncan finished. "Sharpless lied," he said. "Thorndyke wouldn't turn the case over to the company, nor would he abandon it just as he had got the whip hand of his opponents. They've spirited him o u t a f the way so tlieyvcan scare Kilgrow into a cheap settlement; and Sharplesscaim? to you because he didn't know where 10 find the old mountaineer." rrotheroe spoke to Duncan, but he kept his eyes fixed upon the face of the y o u n g girl, who sat eagerly listening. lie w a s trying another experiment in physiognomy, and the result was not altogether comforting. "Ye dinna think they'd harm the lad, do y e ? " "I imagine it would depend upon circumstances. The object would be to get rid of him until they could treat with Kilgrow. ' You know Thorndyke better than I do; would he be likely to g o peaceably?" Duncan shook his head gravely. "Na, I'm thinkin' be wouldna do that; he'd be mair than likely to gie 'em a deal o' trouble." Tbe experiment was a cruel one, but Protheroe continued it unpityingly. "In that case you can judge for yourself by w h a t w a s done day before yesterday. Sharpies* is thoroughly unscrupulous; and Thorndyke could send him to the penitentiary. It's kidnaping at the best, and it may be something much worse." The engineer found the result of his experiment and his own punishment in the expression of horror that crept over Elsie's face when his inference became plain. It hurt him more than he cared t o admit. All t h r o u g h the long summer, while Philip and Elsie were apparently journeying hand in hand along the road in which h e had unselfishly set their feet, Protheroe bad hugged his ideal, playing the heroic part of the high-minded lover w h o generously effaces himself in order that the object of his affections may be free to walk in a path of her own choosing. It w a s an unjoyous task, t h i s that he had set himself, andhe was humiliated by the conviction, repeated and emphasized every time he saw ELsie, that it gained nothing in gladsomeness with the lapse of time. In such case, absence seemed to be the proper emollient; but when Duncan asked his help, he said nothing about going away, and entered heartily into the farmer's plans for warning Kilgrow and for beginning an immediate search for the missing man. i t was agreed that the y o u n g engineer should try to trace Thorndyke from Glenco or Allacooche while Duncan made a journey to the Pocket; and when the farmer had departed on his errand, Protheroe turned back to the house for a final word w i t h Elsie. Sbe w a s alone in the sitting-room when he entered, standing at the window w h i c h looked out upon the road. He saw that she had been crying, and he went to her quick'y and took her hand in both of his. "Can 1 say anything to comfort you before I go?" b e askep. She shook her head. "What is it, Elsie? does it mean more t o you than the possible danger of a friend?" MYea. much more." The frankness o f Mr reply staggered him. " I t was FOG A BLESSING. Natural Preventive of Froat and a HleM« lag- to the Orchardlst. Nature provides in the blanket of fog a means of preventing the extreme lowtemperature which would otherwise result. More than n century a g o T h o m a s JeiTerson, who appears to have been the first to notice tlicse peculiarities of frost, wrote: "I have known frosts so severe as to kill the hickory trees around about Monticello, and yet not injure the tender fruit blossoms then in bloom 011 the top and higher parts of the mountain, and in the course of 40 years during which it has been settled there have lx>en but two instances of a general loss of fruit on it, while in the circumjacent country the fruit has escaped but twice in I he lafct seven yeTrrsr"- In California last year a large amount of fruit was saved by following certain "fogbuild'ing" methods. Mr. W. II. Hammond, of the United States weather bureau, pointed out to the fruit growers the live essential ways to prerent frost: First, by diminishing the radiation ; second, by increasing the moisture in the. air and raising the dewpoint; third, by adding heat to the air; fourth, by removing the cold air— actually draining it off, and fifth, by mixing Uie air and removing the cold air lrom the ground. Smudge tires are based upon the first method and are fairly effective, but, the great improvement consists in the introduction of large amounts of moisture in the vaporous state. YVlwm this vapor condenses or, in other words, when the fog forms, an enormous amount of heat is given off, generally at the very height at which it is most needed. Fog and frost occur when the skies are clear and little or no air is stirring. A strong wind so thoroughly mixes fehe air that there is little chance for cold, dry air to settle in the hollows and low phices, Fog, then, as the natural preventive of frost, may be a blessing to theorohardist, but there are others, particularly travelers, to whom the fog can be but a source of annoyance and danger.—Harper's Magazine. BEVERAGE FOR SUMMER TIME How to Make Tea Punch, a Refreshing Drink If It Is Mixed With Proper Care. Tea punch is a much used beverage for summer porch, tenniB and golf teas, and properly made Is most refreshing. For a quantity of punch make a quart of rich, heavy sugar jyiMB* ajid_..wiiiie„iial-noux ax-ex XWA cupful of orange Juice, one cupful of pineapple juice and half a cupful of strawberry or currant or raspberry or cherry Juice or a mixture of these if preferred. Let stand until cool,, then add one cupful of chopped ice to thoroughly chill. Meanwhile make one pint of Btrong tea, using a mixture of English breakfast and Orange Pekoe tea If possible. The strength should be given by the proportion of tea used and not by the length of time the water stands on the leaves. Take a full teaspoonful of tea for each cupful of water and let this water be freshly boiled and just come to a boll. The utmost care must be used in makiing this tea, for the success of the punch depends upon the flavor of the tea which should be there supporting the fruit flavors, yet without astringency or perhaps actual detection as tea.

The bullets were whistling so angrily down one of the streets which c u t the Rue de la Bienfaisance at right angles that a number of servant girls, who wished to go to a baker's shop on the other side, were afraid to venture over. The difficulty was turned--in this way: There were soldiers on one side of the dangerous crossing and maidservants on the other. The maidservants threw their money to the soldiers and the soldiers purchased the bread and flung it acrotw to the maids. This maneuvers excited n good deal of merriment in spite of the danger with, which it was attended. At times a girl would throw a piece of money short and a soldier would have to fish for it with his bayonet awl even, amid peals of laughter, venture out to pick it up.

Then it would break out again and it spread all over his head. All the hair came out and his head was scaly all over. Then his face broke out all over In red bumps and it kept spreading until It w a s on his handa and arms. I bought several boxes of ointment, gave him blood medicine, and had two doctors t o treat bfm, but he got worse all the time. He had it about six months when a friend told me about Cuticura. I sent and got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. In three days after using them ho began to Improve. He began to take long naps and to stop scratching his head. After taking two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of Ointment and three cakes of Soap ha was sound and well, and never had any breaking out^of any kind. His hair came out in little curia all over his head. I don't think anything else would have cured him except Cuticura.

Little Jean had visited one of the large summer amusement parks for the first time, and with the courage possessed only by those girls whose playmates are boys and girls older than themselves, she had not hesitated, when invited, to take a ride on one of the "thrillers" that aboUnd in such places. To her mother, on her return from the park, she confided the emotions she had experienced as she swept round the curves of the "figure eight" with her elder brothers.

Suddenly Ins ley opened his eyes wider than they bad been opened during his sleeplessness. A light passed across one of the windows of the church. He went to the door, opeued it and stood looking out. All was still. Not a house was lighted save by the moon. Not a living creature was in sight The light appeared again. This time it was stationary for a few seconds, then seemed to have been extinguished. Insley hurried into his clothes and ran as fast as his legs would carry him to the church. As he proceeded he thought that he had better see than be seen. He. knew the church well and felt confident that he could enter by a basement window. A tall tree cast a shadow on his approach. Finding the window, he crawled in stealthily, and, guided by sufficient light from without to enable him to see his way, be ascended a staircase leading up into the vestibule. Opening a door only so far a s would enable him to peep into the body of the church, he saw a strange sight. Two men were standing by a window, the moon shining full in their faces. The one was young and of city meln—that is, so far as insley could see by moonlight alone. The other was dressed in the garb of a clergyman. The men were talking, but he could not hear what they said. Now and again the younger man would take out his watch and look at the time impatiently. Then Insley heard a knock at the church door. The men heard i t too, and the younger hurried to the front of the church. The watcher, that he might not be seen, descended the stairs, but not so far that he could not know what passed in the vestibule. The young man opened the church door and admitted a woman.

"Oh, I can't.** These were the last words Insley heard, for the man drew the girl Into the body of the church and toward the other end. Insley entered and passed in shadow part way down an aisle entering one of the hlgtTpeWs. The t w o men and the woman were In shadow, but presently Insley saw one of the men and the woman standing in a flood4 of moonlight, With their backs toward him, while t h e man In clerical garb faced him and them. The clergyman held In his hand a lamp or candle covered so that its light could only shine on the page of a book he held in his hand. Insley knew that a marriage service WSB about to be performed.

The pastor of the church was a large man, while this one was of medium height and slender. Besides, the pastor was not a person to wed couples In his church at midnight and if he did would not require a light upon his book by which to read the marriage service. Tree enough, a marriage service was begun. Insley could hear every word.

This state of things Is not confined to any one section or division of the Old World, either. Prom the west of Ireland where the tourist sees women helping with the grain harvests and aiding in the cutting of the peat all the way to Russia «n\ere.ihe peasant women are called rat to perform every sort of labor the fields, the same story is told by the sights which meet the eye in every rural district. The Americans who have rather advanced ideas as to the toll which women should be ~~ permitted to perform are treated to their greatest surprise in some of the more primitive provinces of central Europe where it is no uncommon Eight to see a women "hitched" to a plow at It were, side by side with a,horse or other animal, while her liege lord trudges behind guiding the plow. However a rival of this state of things is to be seen occask J J ^ n i 1 r l K ) r < pmmjgjlr and her daughters may be seen on the dragging a barge or canal boat along tff treats of a/neavy rope while the hefty head «f the household sits comfortably at the tiller of the craft. It must be admitted however that few of the European women who work in the fields appear in the least discontented with their lot. To be sure the explanation in many cases may be found in the fact that they know no other life and seemingly give nary a thought to the possibilities of an easier existence. Their mothers and their grandmothers before them went into the fields in this wise and with a proverbial adherance to precedent and custom they accept the responsibilities as a matter of course. At the same time there are some of these women who have given thought to the subject without having the pondering make any difference in their mental attitude. On the contrary some of them grow actually aggressive in their contention that it is the duty of a wife to be her husband's > life partner and coworker in fact as well as in name and that if the husband's occupation is tilling the soil she should lend a hand in the field work" just as she would expect to stand for hours daily behind the counter if her helpmate were a small shopkeeper. Field work by women in the United States is not so common an occurrence as it is on the other aide of the Atlantic, but neither is it sufficiently unuiuafto cause much/comment and it has increased J^eatl^; both in volume and variety in receni-yea^.V^Tb^te 1s the difference t*tcu;:h that ^j6^j^'iaa fleTd as performed by such AjaiericanV^Pien' as- engage in it does not savor of dmd»ef>j»aS4oes UMioh of that abroad and furthermore It is- engaged in, for the most part, purely because of personal preference. That iV sieve la no masculine compulsion figuring in tatter nor is American farmer's wife or \er misled by the fallacy that she is not ler share if she does not perform manual labor In the fields under cultivation. About the only circumstances In which we find the women of our farming communities going into' the* fields not exactly through a choice of their own is at harvest season when there is a scarcity- of labor. It sometimes happens that farmers., ^Jyflaftty;. thdae ta.-tHe more'isolated sections or tne west and middle west, find it impossible to secure, for love or money, the needed hardest hands and; rather than see the ripened grata lost for lack of harvested their wives, sistertl and daughters have,—all credit to them for it-tfeomeUo the raacue a ^ performed the work of aaea in flPhaAee* fliHd\ T In riot a few. inataneet wotfiea vtfftiut«fT» h a t e under jetfah cUtahnttaneea denied Iftdfc'r eiatfttnf ant? the" 'almost4 unanimous verdict is that the advantage from the standpoint of utility more than counterbalance any detriment i n appearances. at baa been aaid, most of the-^Ameriean who arejTteday* wotkiog In the fields are so purely because they prefer it to some meant of making livelihood. This i t true berifttrrtcwr wlfty ff they el taking up "claims" and In a surprising number of cases of late these women have "worked" these claims and developed them into fine farms with very little outside help. A recent case In point was that of three former school teachers who, entirely by their own exertions, successfully carried out a "homesteading" project fifteen miles from the nearest habitation. Farmer women too. are doing more work in the fields than ever before, for all that the easier circumstane.es of the prosperous twentieth century farmer has brought automobiles and pianos and telephones and a host of home comforts that might naturally be expected to take the minds of the women folk off such things as farm work. In this sphere, too, the explanation of the presence in the fields of many women who are not driven there by necessity is found in the fascination of earning "one's own money." It has been the custom from irpy ****** v*#M c#/io/?*N a y ^ / w w \ earn nearly as much as seamstresses or clerks in stores and it is true likewise of the increasing number of women who are engaging in truck gardening and fruit raising and like occupations. However, perhaps the most interesting phase of the whole situation is the vast increase among the women in the fields of those who are not only there on their own initiative but who are also proprietors as it were rather than hired laborers or even co-workers who subscribe to the policy of family co-operation. The present "back to the soil" movement Is no doubt responsible in great measure for the increase in this class of women in the fields, and influence has likewise been exerted by the growing realization that a woman can. woo health quite as effectually by farm work close to nature (provided, of course, she does not overtax her strength) as she can by sitting all day on a hotel portico at the most famous of health resorts. We see varied manifestations of this new fever of American women to get into the fields for pleasure as well as profit. On the one hand we have the spectacle of women, who must needs be selfsupporting, buying and working,—often without any male help whatever,—small truck and poultry farms located sufficiently near some large city to insure a good market for the produce of the farm at first hand and mayhap without the payment of a slice to the commission merchant, providing the woman farmer can cultivate her own circle of customers.

Most women either rush and tear at things all day long and never give their overstrained nerves a rest or they are Indolent and indulge In an afternoon sleep, which makes them dull. A cat nap of a quarter of an hour after luncheon is the best beauty preservativatpogslbte, ~-Bus sleeping is not always retting. Neither it doing nothing. A change of view or of occupation is often the greatest rest and, if the art of relaxation has been mastered, sitting with the hands limply in the lap, with the head resting against the back of the chair and the feet on a footstool will remove the strain from tired nerves. Many women find going to the theater a rest, and others make a habit of keeping a little knitting- or crochet work handy and can quite dismitt the cares of the day as soon at the fingers start making music with the needles. Blessed Indeed is she who can sit down In the midst of dirt and confusion to finish a good book.

Women who had only spending money heretofore from this source suddenly found themselves with independent bank accounts of their own. The to-be-expected sequel was the result. The women of the farms receiving such object lessons of the profits that might be theirs if they took up these "side lines" in real earnest have lost no time in exploring the possibilities of the situation. Many a rural housewife who formerly kept a dozen chickens now has hundreds with an equipment of incubators and all the other aids to such activities. Bee keeping has likewise had a boom and so has the raising of pigeons, the cultivation of early and late vegetables under glass and numerous other kindred activities which, though making no undue strain upon a woman's strength, and materially to the bulk of her pocketbook. Not a few of the "abandoned farms" of New England which have lately been rejuvenated owe the transformation to women who have worked out their salvation through a sort of intensive farming in which more often than not the fair sex have had little assistance,— for, be it known, hired help is as scarce in some of the farming sections of New England at It is many hundreds of miles farther west. An interesting side light on the situation is that oor up-to-date agricultural colleges are now fitting giflB for work in the fields or anywhere else on the farms. In these institutions the young women are studying side by side with their brothers all the way through and saining a clearer Insight than has heretofore been possible into the practical side of farm husbandry. It is a decided innovation, this plan of teaching the young women, from a scientific basts, all that can be put to use on a farm,—inside or outside the farm house. Under this scheme the farm girl acquires knowledge relative to the soil, plant growth and animal life. In short she learns (from practical demonstration as well at out of books) all that can be taught .about field agriculture, dairy practice, etc., at well as the mysterlet of cookery and dressmaking and home management. Incidentally it may be noted that much attention is being devoted to fruit raising, an occupation which teems to be proving attractive to a great number of the feminine recruits who have lately taken to tilling the toll at a meant of livelihood. ******* i n ^ n n w u i m w M for his slippers and sigh for the lqtt ease of hit bachelor den. 7 Make yourself comfortable and everybody around ycu—that it a good password for this life.

The variety In shapes makes it possible, also, to suit the child's individual style. Two good designs are shown here, suitable for girls from about 8 to 16 years old. They are made on the familiar bell and helmet shapes and only differ from these shapes made for grown people, In the matter of size. The bell-shaped hat appears to be covered with silk, but would be just as effective In a braid. It is covered with rows of flne-meshed lace, alternating with motifs In flower forms made of braid, t h e petals of each motif is filled with—a^flgured net. A wreath of small ribbon roses, set in millinery foliage and showing more buds than blossoms, is divided and placed part on the upper right brim and the under left brim.

The same design is pretty with small flowers set In the ribbon band at intervals or with four rosettes like that at the front, dividing the band into four lengths. These little shapes stay on well and provide some shade for the eyes. Wide-brimmed Leghorns and other straws are never out of fashion and probably never will be. Lace bonnets with simple outlines and fluffy lace hats are worn every year. The lingerie hats made of embroideries and of flowered fabrics like dimity and cretonne are ideal for misses, made in simple, youthful fashion. The time has gone by when it was 'hard to choose a • hat for the little girl or young miss. She is sure to be pleased among the many styles that the designers of millinery have this season made for her. GOWNS FOR THE SUMMER Wide Choice of Colors Is Allowed for the Costumes of the Prevailing Season. Gowns of liberty satin are practical as well as effective, and quite as many colored as black ones are made, while the same can be said of the soft-finished taffeta silks. Many of these gowns have jackets to match, but there is' always a waist to match the skirt, fashioned in such manner that the appearance is given of a one-piece gown. This style Is perfectly possible on warm days as well as cool, for yoke and sleeves may be of transparent material. Extremely practical, also, are the coat-and-skirt costumes for cool days. In plain color, with trimmings of striped black and white, there is quite a new model with which fa worn a lace waist of white over the color of the gown. It it of filet and Irish lace combined. It Is not necessary that real lace be used to carry out the model satisfactorily, for there never was a time when so many effective imitation laces could be bought at such low prices.—Harper's Batar. Restoring Faded Flowers, One may freshen faded artificial flowers by retiming them with water colors. After they are tinted; curl the petals again with the blunt side of a case knife. Notice how the petals curl back before tinting them and* then curl in a similar manner and do not apply the paints too wet or it will be impossible to obtain good results. This Is the best home method of restoring flowers that have become faded. The New Gloves. The smart French fancy which should reach here soon Is the wearing of gray suede gloves in the morning or with all Informal costumes. These have one button at the wrist and are then turned widely over the hand Into a cuff which is lined with Empire green or Egyptian braid. It it quite a fashion ot the moment' to have this cuff of the gkrve carry out the color scheme of the costume. A Typical Shaker. vliet, N. Y. They number IB societies in the United States and have a membership of about 1,728. The Shakers believe in spiritualism, practice celibacy, and community of goods, oppose war, refrain from oaths and denounce baptism and the Lord's Supper. They are noted for their frugality, integrity and* thrift In Mount Lebanon, their largest community, there are several families made up of 150 persons, including 35 boys and girls. The other societies are made up in about the same ratio as the one at Mount Lebanon. The announcement that they are winding up their financial affairs in Ohio and New York calls attention to_ the nnal failure of one of the longest existing of the many communistic experiments that have been tried in this country. In the years following the American Revolution, more than a score of communistic sects and colonies were established in the United States. Some of them appealed to the sensualities and some of them were plain swindles. The Shakers held out no sensual or financial allurements and it Is surprising that they have endured so long, except on the theory that their simplicity In living attracted recruits and made them the sole survivors ot all these social experiments. With their passing will close one of the most Interesting chapters of social experiments in the history of any country.

Getting an Autograph. • Munich boy of fourteen, who had seen and admired many of Rudolf von Seltz's paintings, was anxious to secure the painter's autograph, but did not know how to go about it. After much thought he wrote a letter, stating that he had sent a case of wine to the professor's address, and wanted to know whether It had been received. Thinking the matter of sufficient importance the painter did not write, but called at the address given, met the boy's mother, and the fraud soon became apparent. The boy was thorougly scolded, and next day received this autograph note: It often happens here on earth That little rogues to sreat ones grow. Some autographs for which you're trying Can be procured without much lying. . i — — _ _ _ _ - Queer Looking Worms. New Zealand, Australia, the Samoau and the Solomon islands as well as portions of the .Hawaiian group are the homes of varjous species of worms with thick, heavy bodies and with a well defined neck connecting the body with a head that is a startling reminder of that of the monkey. In the Sandwich islands they are called "me-talu- kl," which means "creeper with a child's head." An old New Zealand legend says that nt one time they were of immense proportions and threatened the extinction of all human life on the Islands. THE WAY THEY DO MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS By CARL SARGENT CHACE Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association. . - « • * . mtv • ">l 'M iter—iheil I of South Map They might to print waitM a FSfQtov . . } If there's one thing I'd rather do than all other things Ifs mlndln' my own business. If, there's one thing my Mandy 'd rather do it's to mind somebody else's business. I alius tole her that the principal troubles we git Into in this world is pokin' our nosea into other people's affairs. When Rogers and his wife come to occupy the form adjoining ourn I tole Mandy to let 'em alone. Mebbe she could 'a' done it if it hadn't bin thet we could hear 'em, qua^relln' clean across the fields a quarter of a mile away. That started Mandy. She waa continually a-llstenin' and a-watchin' and a-spyla' to see if she couldn't find out somep'n. It was about the middle of summer when Mandy's mother that lived in the adjlnin' county tuk sick. She kep' a-sendln' for Mandy, but Mandy wouldn't go without me. I got in the airly crops and was gittin' ready fur the later ones. Then one day a letter come sayin' Mandy's mother waa a-dyln'. That settled it; Mandy bed to go, and I hed to go with her. One mornin' airly I put the gray mare In the buggy to drive Mandy over to say goodby to her mother. We hadn't slep' more'n half the night from hearln' the quarrelin' goin' on between the Rogerses. Jist as we got on to the road, Mandy, who couldn't keep her eyes off our neighbor's house, saw Rogers go outen his house carryln' the limp figure of a woman in his arms. "Law sakes!" says Mandy. "He's killed her." "Supposin' he has," says I. "'Tain't none of our business." And, whippin' up the gray mare, I druv along in a hurry so's Mandy couldn't see any more of it. Waal, Mandy's mother was a consarned long time dyin'. Mandy wouldn't stay there without me, she wouldn't come home with me and she wouldn't let me come home without her. Consequence was we was gone a long while. After Mandy's mother died, knowin* the crops was sufferin', I got home as soon as possible. As we was) a drivin' along Mandy says, says •he, "Wonder ef they've discovered the murder," and I says, says I, "Jest you keep your mouth shet." I was mighty busy after that and didn't think about nothin' but gittin' in my corn, but Mandy she went snoopln' round to find out what was known about the murder. All she could find out was that Mrs. Rogers hed gone away. She asked where Mrs. Rogers bed gone, but no one knowed anything 'bout it. Fearin' sbe'd git us into trouble, I tried to stop her questionin', but It wasn't no use. She Jest talked and talked till the wimmen suspicioned somethin', then they turned in and did a lot of questionin' on their side. I stopped her Jest in time to prevent her tellln' the whole story; but, considerin' she'd talked so much and nobody knowed where Mrs. Rogers hed gone, people began to suspect thar was sometbin' in it. First thing I knowed Rogers was arrested for murderin' his wife. He couldn't tell where she was, 'cos he said he didn't know. They war en't livin' happy together, and after a bigger quarrel 'n any they'd had before she'd left him. But everybody knowed that, and Mandy *n me knowed a good deal more. Somehow the idee hed got abroad that he'd murdered her after one o' their fights, and the authorities was determined to find out about i t When the case was ready for trial •ore enough a constable loft a paper at the house, summonln' me and Mandy as witnesses. "There you be," I says to her. "It you'd 'a' kep'yer tongue in yer head you wouldn't 'a'been pestered to tell about somep'n as don't consarn you." Jil'm perfectly willin'," she answered, "to tell what I know—it's my duty. That's what you want to shirk, Elisha; you don't appear to reckon you've got any responsibility in the gov'ment o' yer country." "A man," says I, "as can't govern his wife's tongue isn't fit to bother his head about his share of governin' millions of men, women and children." This shet her up fur a few minutes. The day of the trial come on. Thar wasn't no real evidence agin Rogersonly circumstances pintln' to somep'n. I was put on the stand and questioned, but I didn't hev to say nothin' about seein' Rogers carryln' out a body Jist about dawn. I'd tole Mandy, too, not to tell it If she wasn't asked. But, beln' sworn to tell the hull truth and nothin' but the truth, she out with i t The hull court spectators and all, waa electerfled. Rogers started up to say somep'n, but he was ordered to keep quiet Funny, isn't It, they won't let the person most interested tay what he knows.

After walking about for some time, discussing topics suggested by the place, the two set out on a tour of inspection, the man, apparently an official, Inviting the visitor to go over the asylum. At length they reached the foot of a flight of steps, up which the guide led the way, and at the top the visitor found himself out upon the roof, a height of more than a hundred feet from the ground. As they gazed below bis companion startled him suddenly by proposing to see who could jump farthest toward the grounds! Not until then had it dawned upon the visitor that his guide was mad. Mercifully he was a man of ready wit, and his wit saved the madman's life. "Oh, anybody can Jump down," said the vis* itor. "Let us go down and see who can jump to the top/' The •madman thought It a good Idea, and, retracing their steps, the two began their Jump from the earth instead of from the roof. The Mammoth Cave Rat. The cavern rat found in the Mammoth cave Is of a soft bluish color, with white neck and feet It has enormous eyes, black as night, but quite unprovided with an iris. These eyes are perfectly Insensible to light, and when the experiment bas been made of catching a cavern rat and turning it loose in bright sunlight it blunders about, striking Itself against everything, is unable to provide itself with food and finally falls down and dies. In its native depths, however. It is able to lead a comfortable enough existence, as its enormously long whiskers are so extremely sensitive that they enable it to find its way rapidly through the darkness. The principal food of tho cavern rat consists of a kind of large cricket of a pal* yellow color and, like moat other cave dwellers, itself perfectly blind. The Li lie*. Two thousand years ago It waa supposed that water lilies closed their flowers at night and retreated far under water, to emerge again at sunrise. This waa Pliny's view, and It was not impeached until the English botanist John Bay In 1686 drat doubted its veracity. The groat lily of Zanzibar, one of the grandest of the lily family, opens its flowers, ten inches wide, between 11 in-the morning and 5 in the afternoon. They are of the richest royal blue, with from 160 to 200 golden stamens in the center, and they remain open four or fire days.

SPECIAL 1.1.-. Mortgage T a x e s Auditor General Fuller is of the opinion the state will secure practically every cent coming to ;t under the new law providing for a specific tax on mortgages. He states that the provisions of the bill are such that holders of mortgages mu&t necessarily pay their taxes, pointing to tbe clauses which require tbe holders to have a certificate from county treasurers showing that the tax has been paid, before they can either cancel the mortgage or foreclose one. County treasures are not so well pleased as they might be with the new law, in view of the fact that it co,ntains no provision for compensation for the extra service they are called upon to preform. Tbe law requires them to furnish an affidavit of the payment of the tax, in the case or mortgages at present in force the owners of which wish to pay the specific tax in order to avoid paying the ad valorem tax. There is also the certificate to issue for all mortgages on which the tax is paid, and the tax money to handle and remit one half to the state—State Journal. * > • ' ' • * • • * • , ; . • • . • % • ' • • • : $ • ' r v Gallon Zenoleum Fly-Shoot and Sprayer for $1>00 :/Zenoleum Fly-8hoot will protect your horses and cattle ^ : from flies during the summer months.

He Is out of work and in •. desperate straits. Underwood, who had ; once been engaged to Howard's stepmother, tUlcia, 1« apparently In prosperous circumstances. Taking advantage of his Intimacy with Alicia, ha becomes a aort of social highwayman, Discovering his true character, Alicia denies him the house. He sends her a note threatening auicida. Art dealers tor whom he acted aa commissioner, demand an accounting. He cannot make good. Howard calls at his anartanaota la an Intoxicated condition to rgquaat a Ipan of &000 to enable him to take up a business proposition. Howard drinks himself into a maudlin condition, and goee to sleep on a divan. A caller is announced and Underwood draws a screen around the drunken aleeper. Alicia enters. She demands a promise from Underwood that he will not take his life. He refuses -u,niess sne will Tenew her patronage. This she refuses, and takes her leave. Underwood kills himself. The report of the pistol awakens Howard. He finds Underwood dead. Howard is turned over to the police. Capt. Clinton, notorious for his brutal treatment of prisoners, puts Howard through the third degree, and finally gets an alleged confession from the harassed man. Annie, Howard's wife, declares her belief in her husband's innocence, and calls on Jeffries, Sr. He refuses to help •unless she will consent to a divorce. To save Howard she consents, but when she finds that the elder Jeffries does not intend to stand by his son, except financially, she scorns his help. Annie appeals — t o JTxdge Brewster,-.attorney jfor_ Jeffries, Sr.. to take Howard's case. He declines. It Is reported that Annie Is going on the stage. The banker and. his wife call on Judge Brewster to find some way to prevent It. Annie again pleads with Brewater to defend Howard. He consents. CHAPTER XVI.—Continued. "Ah! I begin to understand. You knew Robert Underwood? Howard knows your voice—he heard you—talking to him—Oh, Mrs. Jeffites!—Are4 you^ne woman who visited his apartvments that night?" The banker's wife bowed her head and collapsed on a chair. "Yes," she murmured in a low tone. Annie looked at her In amazement. "Why didn't you come forward at once?" she cried. "Think of the pain which you might have spared us!" Alicia covered her face with her handkerchief. She was crying now. "The disgrace—the disgrace!" she moaned. "Disgrace!" echoed Annie, stupefled. Indignantly, she went on: "Disgrace— to you? But what of me and Howard?" "Can't you realize what it means to be associated with such a crime?" she wailed. ' "Disgrace!" cried Annie contemptuously. "What Is disgrace when a human life is at stake?" "It seemed so useless," moaned Alicia—" a useless sacrifice in the face of Howard's confession. Of course —if I'd known—if I'd suspected what you tell me—I'd have come forward and told everything—no matter at what cost." Tearfully she added: "Surely you realize the position It puts me In?" ' A new light shone in Annie's eyes. What was this woman's misery to her? Her duty was to the poor fellow who waa counting the hours until she could set him free. His stepmother deserved no mercy. Utterly selfish, devoid of a spark of humanity, she would have left them both to perish in order to protect herself from shame and ridicule. Her face was, set and determined as she Bald calmly: "It must be done now." "Yes," murmured Alicia In a low tone that sounded like a 8oh, "it must he done now! Oh, if I'd only done it before—if I'd only told Mr. Jeffries the whole truth! You speak of Howard's sufferings. If he didn't do it, he has at least the consciousness of his own innocence, but I—the constant fear of being found out is worse than any hell the imagination can conjure up. I dreaded it—I dread it now —it means disgrace—social ostracism —my husband must know—the whole world will know." Annie was not listening. Still bewildered, she gazed with the utmost astonishment at her companion. To think that this mysterious woman they had: bean seeking was Howard's stepmother. \ "So you're the missing witness we f have all been hunting for!" she aald; "I can't believe it even nowv How did It happen?" \ "He and I were onca engaged, broke it off when I found him out After I married Mr. Jeffrief 1 met Underwood again. Foolishly, I allowed the.old Intimacy to be renewed. Ha took advantage and preyed on my friends. I forbade him my house. He wrote me a letter in which he threatened to kill himself. I waa afraid he meant it—I wanted to prevent him. I went to his rooms that night I—didn't tell Mr. Jeffries.

"They'll say that I—God knows what they'll say!" went on Alicia distractedly. "My husband will be dragged through the mire of another pubUe-eeaiMlal—Wa social prestige will —oh, I dare not think of it—I know— my duty Is to that unfortunate hoy. I mustn't think of myself." "Haye you the letter that Mr. Underwood wrote you?" demanded her companion., "Yes—I've never been able to destroy It I don't know why I kept i t but thank God I have it!" Moaning, she went on: "The disgrace!—the disgrace!—it's ruin—degradation! It's the end of everything!—the end of everything!" Annie regarded with contempt thi* poor, weak, walling creature who lacked the moral courage to do what was merely right. Her voice was not unkind as she said: "I don't want to disgrace you—or ruin,you. But what am I to do—tell me, what am I to do?" "I don't know," moaned her companion helplessly. "Howard must be saved.** "Yes." "Will you tell Judge Brewster or shall I?" "Judge Brewster! Why should he know?" cried Alicia, startled. More composedly and as If resigned to the inevitable, she went on: "Yes, I supposehe must know sooner or later," but, I—" She broke down again and burst Into tears. Annie watched her in silence. "It's tough—Isn't it?" she said sympathetically. "Yes," sobbed Alicia through her tears, "it's—it*snough!" Rising, she dried her eyes and said hastily: "Don't say anything now. Give me a few "hours. Then 1 Can think what Is best to be done." Annie was about to reply when the office door suddenly opened and Judge Brewster entered. Addressing Alicia, he said: "Pardon me, Mrs. Jeffries, I hope I haven't kept you waiting." Noticing her agitation and traces of tears, he The clerk retired and the banker, completely ignoring the presence of his daughter-in-law, turned to his wife and said: "I regret, my dear, that you should be subjected to these family annoyances." Judge Brewster came forward and cleared bis throat as if preliminary to something Important he had to say. Addressing the banker, he said boldly: "Mr. Jeffries, I have decided to undertake Howard's defense." His aristocratic client was taken completely by surprise. For a moment he could say nothing, but simply stared at the lawyer as if unable to believe his ears. With an effort, he at last exclaimed: "Indeed!—then you will please consider our business relations to have ceased from this moment." The lawyer bowed. "As you please," he said suavely. The banker turned to his wife. "Alicia—come." He offered his arm and turned toward the door. Alicia, in distress, looked beck at Annie, who nodded reassuringly to her. Judge Brewster rose and, going to the door, opened it. The banker bowed stiffly and said: "Pray don't trouble. Good morning, sir." As Alicia followed her husband out, she turned and whispered to Annie: "Come and see me at my home." When she had disappeared the judge came back into the room and sat down at his desk. "Well, that's done!" he exclaimed with a sigh of relief. Rummaging for a moment among his papers, he looked up and said with an encouraging smile: "Now, if you please, we will go over that evidence—bit by bit" one Important witness, the mysterious woman who was In the apartment a few minutes before the shooting and who was in possession of a letter in which Underwood declared his intention of shooting hJmself. doubt was no longer possible. Acquittal was a foregone conclusion. So pleased was the Judge at Annie's find fthat he did not insist on knowing the woman's name. He saw that Annie preferred, for some reason, not to give jit—even tD her legal adviser—and,he let her have her way, exacting only that the woman should be produced the Instant he needed her. The young woman readily assented. Of course, there remained the "confession," but that had been obtained unfairly, illegally, fraudulently. The next important step was to arrange a meeting at the judge's house at which Dr. Bernstein, the hypnotic expert, would be present and to which should be invited both Capt Clinton and Howard's father. In front of all these witnesses the judge would accuse the police captain of browbeating his prisoner into making an .untrue confession. Perhaps the captain could be argued into admitting the possibility of a mistake having been made. If, further, he could be convinced of the existence of documentary evidence showing that Underwood really committed suicide he might be willing to recede from hla position in order to protect himself. At any rate It was worth trying. The judge insisted, also, that to this meeting the mysterious woman witness should also come, to be produced at such a moment as the lawyer might consider opportune. Annie merely demanded a few hours' time so she could make the appointment and soon re* turned with a solemn promise that the woman would attend the meeting and come forward at whatever moment called upon. Three evenings later there was an Impressive gathering at Judge Brew-" ster's residence. In the handsomely appointed library on the second floor were seated Dr. Bernstein, Mr. Jeffries and the judge. Each was absorbed in his own thoughts. Dr. Bernsteln was puffing at a big black: cigar; the banker stared vacantly Into space. The judge, at his desk, examined some legal papers. Not a word was spoken. They seemed to be waiting for u fourth man who had not yet arrived. Presently Judge Brewster looked up and said: "Gentlemen, I expect Capt/ Clinton In a few minutes, and the matter will ho plA^ori hqfnrft ynn " CHAPTER XVII. The news that Judge Brewster would appear for the defendant at the approaching trial of Howard Jeffries went through the town like wildfire, and caused an immediate revival In the public interest, which was beginning to slacken for want of hourly Each Was Absorbed in His Own Thoughts. looked surprised. He made -o comment but turned to Annie: 'T have been talking to Dr. Bernstein over the 'phone." Annie approached him softly and said In a whisper: "I've told Mrs. Jeffries that you have undertaken Howard'a defense." Judge Brewster smiled at his wealthy client almost apologetically, f} Annie thought. Then addressing her, he said: "Yes, rve been quite busy sines I saw you. I hitve^put three of the best detectives wa bave^on the trail of the woman who visited Underwood that night I don't think the police, have - * s They're satisfied with Howard's con fesaion. But we want her and wall get hsr—" "Oh!" gaspsd Alicia. The judge was proceeding to tall of other steps he had taken when the door opened and the head clerk entered, followed by Mr. Jeffries. / "I told Mr. Jeffries that Mr*. Jeffries was hers," aald the elefk. "Yon might hats) tali lam that there were two Mrs. Jassst* jsftrs," laughed tbsjodg*. • / ¾ stimulation. Rumor said that there had been a complete reconciliation in the Jeffries family, that the banker was now convinced of his son's innocence, and was determined to spend a fortune, if necessary, to save him. This and other reports of similar nature were all untrue, but the Judge let them pass without contradiction. They were harmless, he chuckled, and if anything, helped Howard'a cause. Meantime he himself had not been Idle. When once he made up his mind to do a thing he waa not content with half measures. Night and day he worked on the case, preparing evidence, seeing witnesses and ex BJSSjSSsil SILO SHOULD BE REGARDED AS NECESSITY ON STOCK FARtf H u g e Receptacle I s N o Longer a n E x p e r i m e n t a n d I s o o V a l u a b l e to M a n W h o Breeds Stock, a s to D a i r y - m a n — S i l a g e V e r y M a t e r i a l l y Decreases Cost of P u t t i n g P o u n d of Beef Onto Feeding Steer. •f.' ,f •'.Vy We have been laboring In season and out of season to Induce farmers to build silos. The silo is no longer an experiment. It has been used by dairymen with success for thirty years. It was for a long time supposed that It could only be used in dairying, says the Wallace Farmer. We have found out now that it is almost as valuable to the man who grows stock as to the man who milks cows. We are finding out that silage very"materially decreases the cost of putting a pound of beef onto a feeding steer. We have found out that It is good for the ewe, for the brood sows, and for young stock of all kinds as well as for dairy cattle. The only animal on the place to which it Is not safe to feed It is the horse; Just why we do not know. It Is perhaps entirely safe if of good quality, but dangerous if moldy. We are finding out still more about silage, namely, that by using a summer silo, one about half the size of the winter one, we can bridge over the droughts, which come in every coun- Suppose you cannot fill one man's silo before it la dry; you can easily remedy that by putting in water. We have done it and it works finely. You can even take the corn that stands in the field ready for husking and make good silage out of It.if you put la water enough; or you can plant soma sorghum and corn, and let the abundance of moisture in the sorghum, make for the deficiency in the corn. All these things are worth thinking about. What we want to lorpress upon your minds just now is that you cannot afford not to build a silo if you are in the stock business. You can no more do without a manure spread* er or a grain drill. There are soma things that are well aettled over most of our territory.

Peevishly, he said: "I've no wish to be present at the meeting. You know that and yet you sent for me." Judge Brewster looked up at him quickly and said quietly yet decisively: "Mr. Jeffries, it is absolutely necessary that you bo present when I tell Capt. Clinton that he has either willfully or ignorantly forced your son to confess to having committed 8 crime of which I am persuaded he is absolutely innocent." The banker shrugged his shoulders. "If I can be of service, of course, I—I am only too glad—but what can I say—what can I do?" "Nothing," replied the Judge curtly. "But the moral effect of your presence is invaluable." More amiably he went ou: "Believe me, Jeffries, I wouldn't have taken this step unless I was absolutely sure of my position. I have been informed that Underwood committed suicide, and to-night evidence confirming this statement is to be placed in my hands. The woman who paid him that mysterious visit just before his death has promised to come here and tell us what she knows. Now, if Capt. Clinton can be got to admit the possibility of his being mistaken It means that your son will be free In a few days." "Who has given you this Information?" demanded the banker skeptically. "Howard's wife," answered the Judge quietly. The banker started and the lawyer went on: "She knows who the woman is, and has promised to bring her here to-night with documentary proof of Underwood's suicide." "You are depending on her?" he sneered. "Why not?" demanded the judge. "She has more at stake than any of us. She has worked day and night on this case. It was she who aroused Dr/ Bernstein's interest and persuaded him to collect the evidence against Capt. Clinton?' The banker frowned. "£he is the cause of the whole miserable business," he growled. The door opened and the butler, entering, handed his master a card. "Ah!" ejaculated the judge. "Here's our man! Show him up." When the servant had disappeared Mr. Jeffries turned to his host With a show of irritation he aald: "I think you put too much faith in that woman, but you'll find out—you'll find out." Judge Brewster smiled. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Unique Indorsement of Check.

With ua the most dangerous time la in July and August which are usually droughty periods, when the grass is short and files are bad. We are finding out that by having a summer silo we can provide pasture out of the silo until the rains come in the falL Some of the readers may shake their heads at this, but we are telling them agricultural gospel truth. They may say: While we often have these dry periods in July and August, we do not always have them. Some years we have excellent pastures. True, but your silage will keep almost as well aa the fruit your wife keepa over from a year of abundance to a year of want. Last year we fed on one of the farms belonging to the Wallace family silage that waa two years old. Apparently It was just aa good as the year It was made. / Why do we talk about it now? Because, if you are going to have a silo this fall for either winter or summer use, you ought to be thinking about it; not about the building of it or the cost of it, although it is Vv'orthy of thought, but whrre you v.fll plant your corn to necessitate the least hauling and diminish the expense; about. what kind of silage you want, whether rich with corn or scant in corn. You can determine that by the thickness of planting. If you want silage rich in corn to fatten steers, you want to plant it aa you do for the market—for the maximum of ears; but if you want it to feed to the dairy cows and want a large yield of stock with small grain yield, you must plant It thick. The main reason we are talking about it now la because to put up a alio and use it economically you want to enliat the co-operation of your neighbors.

The attention of merchants is called to the new state law promulgated by the diary and food department which makes it unlawful for dealers to expose goods for sale without proper sanitary precautions against flies and dust, particularly referring to meats, fruits and vegetables. This law has attracted much attention throughout the state and a general effort will be made to enforce it few years it is said there has been a large increase of young people, teachers and college people. There is a reason for this. Bay View has not trusted in its wonderful climate alone, but has organized recreations; it has appealed to the best people, and has wisely kept living expenses down. There are three modern two and three dollar hotels, but by taking furnished rooms, of which there are hundreds, and dinning at the well supplied cottage dinning rooms, one can cut living expenses to a dollar .per day. Of coarse, the drawing magnets are the assembly with its brilliant programs' and the highly organized summer university, opening July 17tb. In recent years the Bay View conferences have begun to attract wide notice. There are four: Bible, Missionary, Labor, and Social Welfare, and Good Health, each in charge of people of high reputation.

CO., P. 0. Bex 395, MIBWer &htit: •#?» STORIES of WALL STREET At P A R <By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE Copyright, by Street * Smith. |HB quiet of the breakfast room was disturbed only by the subdued rustle of the paper in West's hands and the purring of the coffee machine by his wife's elbow. Frowning slightly in her preoccupation, the woman remarked the silence, and passed it over; it was a part of her dally life—had been a part of it ever since, ten years before, the curtain had fallen upon their honeymoon. She was accustomed to say that for ten hours of the day, from eight in the morning to six in the evening Tom W e s t was a mere money-making macjdixe, wjth no end in life save the manipulation of the market, no conception of anything in the world save bank and railway statements, dividends, tickers and the ebb and flow of prices. Afterwards, from 6 p. m. to 8 a. m., he was a normal human being with almost human interests, including a wife. Therein she did West justice, and some injustice. In point of fact, the man adored his wife after business hours. But It was most true that he forgot her completely throughout the Wall street working day. And to that, perhaps, may be attributed his remarkable success—to the absolute concentration of all his faculties upon the matter in hand; which generally consisted in the "bearing" of some security which other men admired, but which West looked upon with the jaundiced eye of the skeptic confirmed in his pessimism so far as stock values were, concerned. As for his wife, for the.time being her thoughts as well as her slim white fingers- were busied about the tall copper 'pot in whicn tne coffee brewed. Now, with a little nod of satisfaction, she placed the extinguisher over the flame of the alcohol lamp, and glanced tentatively toward her husband, as though fearful of disturbing him. Of West, only his fingers were visible: rcugh-hewn, blunt, heavy fingers that conveyed a distinct impression of the man'a character, as the world saw it. They gripped almost fiercely the edges-of the morning paper, which he held outspread so as thoroughly to curtain himself from his wife's gaze. Iiehind it he maintained an unbroken silence; his big, broad brow thrust forward aggressively, his lips set and tense, his gray eyes fairly dancing up and down the serried columns of figures, as he—to use his own phrase— tore the heart out of the market report. The woman gazed upon the fingers with a tenderness glowing deep in her eyes; somehow they suggested to her very clearly the man she knew BO well i^-that man whom the street reckoned futhless, but whom she loved with all her being, and who loved her in return with a devotion almost w o m a n i s h - after business hours again, 1 In time West lowered the paper un- 1jji Its upper edge was level with the fridge of his nose. He stared at her ^sent-mindedly; the creature man yfaa asserting its desire for refreshment, though the business man was lost In a pondering of men and meastwes. "Coffee ready?" he demanded, acid promptly returned his gaze to the list of the previous day's transactions. J "Ready," she replied, quickly and clearly, "and waiting, Tom." She dropped the indispensable two lumps of sugar into West's cup, added the cream, then brimmed it with the steaming black liquor. As she had anticipated—for she studied the man closely—the sound of her voice and the stir of the tableware distracted the current of his thoughts. Reluctantly he folded the news sheet, and laid it at the side of his plate, accepted the cup, and began to stir the coffee with his spoon, monotonously, as though* he feared' -It might lose virtue through Inaction, meanwhile glaring at his plate. She fore bore to question him; she knew that before long he would begin to talk. Always, ever since she could remember, he had Interlarded his breakfast with a one-sided discussion, a running comment on the ways of the street, and on the part he happened to be playing therein at the particular time. And so, Inevitably,,it cam© to pass. Presently he dropped the spoon and began to use bis fork; and, "Funny thing about Belden," he observed, talking more at, than to, her. "Yes::—with t h e rising inflexion. " Y ^ . - ' j ^ i m ' - t l f l h g about B e U e a and myseff.

"Don't know it from Belden's own lips, that is. But he's rigging the market—ballooning Net Common——" "Net Common?" she Ixwjutoed, puzzled. "New England Transit, common," lie translated, impatiently; "his pet stock. He wants to boost it by wash sales as high a s the market will stand, and then he's going to unload„at a big profit. He plans to add the Bennington extension to the New England Transit system, and he needs; money to buy in the bond issue. Bennington extension," he contiued, as/though trying to make it perfectly clear to himself, beyond possibility of error, "is a big independent trolley line running north out of Hartford. It's practically bankrupt, and will default on the interest, due on the £rst, fqr its first mortgage four-per-ceat bonds. Belden wants to buy t h e n r i n r s o that he can foreclose on the mir<ite, and make Bennington extension a part of New England Transit. Slick, isn't he?" But West was not asking a question to be answered, for he continued, almost without a. break: "Belden found out that he wouldn't get 'em for a song yesterday," he said, chuckling. "Bennington Fours are selling at fiftynine, and a drug on the market at that. But I'm holding a block on behalf of a Western syndicate, and Belden has agreed to pay me eighty / o r 'em. I gave him to understand that they'd never be a cent cheaper, so he had to knuckle under, and pass me his word to the deal." "Yes," she breathed, vaguely, not greatly interested. West paused to swallow his coffee, then sat back and watched the curtains bellying in the warm June "breez<r-4hat had access through the open window. "Tell you what," he broke out, -seriously, "it was a great relief to me when I closed the transaction. I stand to get three or four hundred thousand out of it, and I need ready money the worst way, myself. That last rise in Ontario pinched me badly, and the banks are beginning to fight shy of my paper." He frowned, teetering abstractedly on two legs of his chair; then suddenly pulled out his watch. "Hello!" he announced. "I'll have to hustle. 'By, Bess." West arose, came around to her chair, and bent over to kiss his wife. She lifted her lips' to his, and they were barely parted; her eyelids drooped heavily, and she sighed faintly. For the instant ten years dropped from their lives; West's gaze glorified the firm curve of her cheek, the full sweep of her bare throat; and he caught at his breath sharply. Also he noticed a little anxious pucker between her brows, for which he laid the blame at the door of the oppressive weather, nor understood in the least that fear for him chilled her heart. "Look here, m'dear," he suggested, in a severely practical tone, as he straightened up. "Don't you think you'd better run up to Newport?" "And leave you here, alone, to stand the heat? No," she decided, firmly. "When Tom West takes a vacation, his wife will, Meanwhile, nothing worries me so much as the knowledge that you are working too hard—slaving your life out, dear. Be careful today, won't you—for my sake?" "For no one else's, Bess," he laughed, lightly. To dress for the evening was an ordeal, but one to be faced with a smile. For Tom liked to find her just so; it was good to him, when he had sloughed the cares of the day, to see her fresh, unwilted. Later, she recalled that it was while she struggled to attire herself with the grudged assistance of a cross maid, that she was suddenly convinced by a subtly psychic, womanly intuition that something was amiss, either with Tom or with Tom's affairs. But forebodings such as that are sternly to be relegated to the limbo of superstitions until the event proves their excuse. She was at the head of the stairs when the door opened and West slumped forward into the butler's arms; crumpled, enervated, crushed by the-withering heat. In another Instant she was by MB side, abruptly composed, mistress of "herself and of her fears; for this was what she had been awaiting, this that contingency the fear of which had held her by her boy's side w h e n c e might have been materially comfortable at the seashore.

Dexter; telf "At midnight stsjjva* sitting by his / • bedside, gazing hungrily Into his Bet features, waiting for the arrival of the nurse whom Dexter was to send. The physician had been an hour gone, leaving her in a Btate more tranquil, reassured. West was by no means out of danger, but the chances wer« in, his favor. The man was in a drugged stupor, strychnine spurring his laggard heart action, morphine soothing Mm, Presently the woman bent forward, very cautiously, and slipped the clinical thermometer between his parted lipB. West stirred uneasily, and his teeth clicked against the glass tube. Then again he lapsed into coma. She withdrew the thermometer, saw that it recorded an even one hundred, and was glad. A second later, entirely without warning, West had cast the blankets aside, and was sitting bolt upright, jabbering in a frenzy of delirium. The woman gave a hurried order to the waiting servant to~ leleuhune Dexter,i—ThrirefteT ctratteTe7ToirTfie"lnforma"- and returned to her husband's side. "Belden " he was Iterating with savage emphasis; "Belden Belden " "Hush, dear." Gently she forced him back, until his head rested upon, the pillow, and as gently sponged his moist brow with ice water. He proved tractable enough, and seemed grateful for the cold applications; but the morphine was stimulating his unhelmed imagination with a wavelike action; and he would talk, and did, by fits and starts. By degrees, listening intently, she began to piece together a comprehensive statement of what lay upon his mind, that had sapped his strength until the sun had found him an easy victim. One phrase—"Belden broke faith"—served as a starting point; with it as a guide she was able to select fragments from West's incoherent ramblings, and to join them together, mosaic-like, until she understood it all. "Belden broke faith—promised to buy at eighty—broke his contract— said he'd examined roadbed and rolling stock—come to conclusion that bonds were not worth the market— would pay sixty—damned scoundrel— need cash for Ontario deal—square with him—desperate fix—million put me on my feet, easy—make him pay p a r - ^ - " Under the treatment of the physician and the nurse West subsided into silence. But the woman had heard enough to enable her to grasp the situation very completely She debated the matter throughout the long, dreary night, an odd, hard light gleaming in her eyes. That morning the market opened firm; Net Common was in demand at one hundred and nineteen, an advance of two points overnight; Bennington Fours had dropped four points, to fifty-five. Belden smiled grimly, as he scanned the opening prices on the tape. To his ears the gossip of the ticker was sweet music; everything was going as he had wished. Nothing could be better, from his point of view. He drqpped the paper ribbons into the ticker basket, and began to pace up and down the length of his private office, with a stealthy, catlike tread, glancing from side to side with something furtive In his manner. His hands were clasped behind his back, and he allowed his head to droop as he chuckled sourly. Tausig, his partner, read the covert triumph in Belden's manner, and himself consulted the tape. He likewise smiled a broad, contented smile, as he turned away from the basket; but a moment later he began to think. "Belden," he began, aggressively. He was his partner's precise antithesis— a heavy, rotund, red-faced, "pushing" type. "- .^ "Eh?" Belden desired to know, stopping and facing him. Tausig tloffed his aggressiveness under that searching scrutiny. "How much higher are you going to let Net go?" he inquired, with plaintive deference. "Before I decide to liquidate?" asked Belden, leering. "Well, say one hundred and twenty-five, Tausig. Then we can begin to unload—quietly, you know—and besides, Bennington Fours will be down to fifty by that time." Tausig sucked uneasily at an expensive cigar. "I thought you said you would cash in this morning," he defended himself, surlily. "I did, I did," squeaked Belden. "But things happen you know. I've changed my mind; I think now it'9 safe ,to boost Net Common a little higher, and to bold off on the bonds a weevbit longer " '*Why?" demand Tausig, flatly. "There's West " "Haven't you heard the news?" Belden's tone was expressive of extreme surprise. "West's out of the running; we've got a clear track ahead of us." "What struck West?" Tausig's small eyes widened. "The sun struck West," sneered Belden. "He went away from here rather excited yesterday afternoon. He didn't seem to think I had treated him prettily. I suppose he ran around and got overheated—4t's none of my business." Belden waved a deprecating hand, disclaiming responsibility. "But he's flat on his back, and th*. Street doesn't know why." - ^ "Umm," Tausig mumbled his gratification. "And Hollwedel," he added, naming West's partner, "la a shrimp. He hasn't got the nerve to attempt reprisals, without West to h s j £ him lip. That's very nice—vesyA v "Yes," Belden whined a n s s v n e n t ; "and West wob't g e f over 4ty»for hit bonds—if I decide *> sllSMIhtoi that." He s i d ! e * 3 & ^ t t flfeMpster* and fondled the tSpe. 'feu* f b d r e d and twenty," he announced, s>tsjlij. *Yeu see, Taus|g, bow the Street believes in me." .:fee laughed nastily. "Send Out ordez^g tp self ten thousand when -we strike twenty-five," he added. "Sell 'em in thousand^haro lots, you know —one lbt to a broker." r Taualg arose and waddled outj grinning. Belden resumed bis pacing to and fro, scowling at the floor. Presently he stopped at the ticker again, and remained there, fingering the fastflowing ribbon for several minutes, motionless as a statue. Then he scurried hastily over to his desk and pressed a little mother-of-pearl button on its edge. "I want Mr. Chellborg," he snarled at the boy who answered his summons. "Mr. Chellborg," he told one of his confidential brokers who presently appeared, "I want you to find out who is buying Bennington Fours, and—and who the devil is selling Net Common!" including Belden and Tausig, swore amazedly to .find that It was worth, only one hundred and one. And then, while this panicky feeling held, Hollwedel, having deftly covered through other brokers his ten thousand shorts, suddenly proclaimed with a loud voice that he had twenty-five thousand Net Common to dispose of. It was as if a strong man, after a long and exhausting run, had abruptly been set upon by an JUl-tempered pers o n Jfc'ith an ax *nd a desire for t&e strong man's life. Net Common dropped like a log—Hollwedel selling and covering and selling again with most relentless activity. About the New England Transit post on the Exchange floor men came to blows in their efforts to dispose of a stock for which, it seemed, no one had the slightest use in the world. Other securities, and especially the more weak ones, suffered proportionlately— be«rase—of ihe shock "to public tion that somebody had sold "Net," five hundred shares at one hundred and nineteen; and somebody else had bought "B. Fours," eighty bonds at fifty-six. It was just half-past ten. Just at that moment an obliging Central had established telephonic connection between the uptown branch near the Waldorf-Astoria of William Wise & Sons, bankers and brokers, and the main, downtown, office of the same concern. It was a fairly reputable house, one doing a large commission - business through several branches, some of which, and in particular that one near the Waldorf, boasted a "special customers' room for ladles." On the uptown end of the wire was a somewhat? excited and excitable, but experienced, young man, who acted as manager of the branch office. He earnestly desired a word with the head of the firm, and was presently accommodated. Just what he had to say is not of record, but his communication was received with attentive respect by Mr. William Wise, who at once consulted the ticker with an air of alarmed interest. Then he sat down and rocked in his desk chair, frowning at the ceiling, for the space of three minutes by the clock. After which he summoned his head bookkeeper and desired information. "John," he Inquired, "how much Net Common are we carrying for our personal account?" _ He was told five thousand shares. "I think," Wise meditated, after the lurk Lad departed, "that, all things considered, we may consider the rise in Net a thing of the past. We will sell before the break comes; and while we are about it, it might be a good scheme to lump In two or three thousand shares short." And he telephoned the board member of the firm to that effect, using the firm's private wire to the Exchange floor and carefully modulating his voice so that no one but the man at the other end of the wire could possibly overhear his Instructions, Not wishing to alarm the market, and so lose the advantage of a few fractions of a point, he waited a reasonable period of time—fully five minutes— in order to permit the board member to execute his orders, before advising the customers of the firm (confidentially, of course} to "unload on Net Common, and sell short for a quick break." In the meantime, Belden, having viewed with disgust his pet's loss of one point on a strong market, decided to boost the price a trifle—"to give it a dose of tonic," as Tausig put it, In order to accomplish his desire, Mr. Belden commissioned some twelve brokers who were accustomed to execute his orders without "giving up" the name of their principal, to sell Net Common in amounts varying from one hundred to one thousand shares; in: all, twenty thousand. And at the same time he instructed an equal number of similarly trained traders to buy in a like manner—twenty-thousand Net Common. Barring untoward developments this, transaction, by which Belden's right hand sold to Belden's left—a practise nicknamed "washing sales by match orders" by the Street, and ruled against by the governing committee— would have resulted in creating a general Impression that Net Common was very greatly desired on all hands, Unfortunately, just as this was initiated, Messrs. William Wise & Sons offered eight thousand Net Common; so that the supply exceeded the momentary demand, and the price Inevitably "slumped." Within the next ten minutes Mr. Wise's customers, acting on his kindly advice, dumped eleven thousand two hundred shares on the floor, causing a further decline. And a timid somebody unknown became scared and decided to sell, and somebody else came to the same conclusion, and yet another somebody caught the Infection of distrust; the result being that Net Common was quoted at one hundred thirteen. Belden and Tausig, glued to the ticker's side by an invincible dismay, swore and considered ways and means by which they might "peg" the price; meaning*to fix it beyond possibility of further declines. But before they had time to make up their minds.as to the wisest course to be pursued, Hollconfldence. When the big clock in Trinity's tower boomed forth the hour of three, a long, deep sigh of relief, that was almost a gasp, went up from the nervous Street; Net Common was a-begging at eighty-three. In the private office of Mr. Belden, of Belden & Tausig, there was gloom. The two partners were limp and unhappy, facing each other across the basket that held miles and miles of paper tape stamped with the details of disaster well-nigh irreparable. Belden's sullow faee was dark and forbidding; he kept a dogged silence while he conned the written reports of his lieutenants. Tausig, on the other hand, had lost a great deal of his ruddy, wholesome appearance, and he muttered eurses automatically. Both had forgotten, for the time being, that there was such a security as Bennington Fours on the Hist. After a while, exasperated by Belden's continued reticence, Tausiz snapped at him a question— for the hundredth time: "Who did it?" Belden glanced at him slowly, Incuriously. "How do I know?" be asked. Tausig replied by a comprehensive anathema of Thomas West and all lii3 works. Belden said, patiently: "It wasn't West, I tell you; he's out of his head." "Then who was it?" howled Tausig. "Hollwedel?" Belden shook his bead. "Hollwedel sold no more than half a dozen others," he answered. "Beflldesi, ho'd bo afraid." I promise: to inter* said, faintly. "If you tat X-'U go- " "No, stay!" he commanded. **Ther« something funny going on, SSJSJl I pose to know what it is. Nosy, BotV wedel " Hollwedel stammered. "Well, it iBn't much," b« said, "that I had to do with the deal," aw added, hastily. /'Matter of fact, I o~nly acted as an agent, under orders. Of course, you understand, I thought they were your orders, and r obeyed them IZBF plicitly." "Orders?" queried W e s t Mrs. West avartaaVser f \ "I—I hope you won't Tom," she faltered, tremuk "I'll be angry i t straight from the, West. "Go on, Hollwedel. to control myself and not rupt." "W7ell," said Hollwedel; and stofc ped! "Well!" he plunged desperately at his narrative, "the morning after you were sunstruck, Mrs.!West called at the office. Mind you, I hadn't any notion that you were even ailing. Shesaid that you had broken your arm—- your right arm." "Why?" demanded the startled con4> valescent.

I thought that it w a i mighty risky, but that made it Been* all the more as though it came from» you, West. It was a scheme to knock the bottom out of Net Common, in order to keep Belden on the anxious peat while we quietly bought up a majority of the Bennington Fours.

She considered him the last man of her acquaintance whom she would select to "break it gently" to anyone bereaved. And so thinking, she rose and made as though she would leave the two together—futilely, however. "Mrs, West!" Hollwedel bowed. "Don't go, please," he added, almost pleasantly. And, "Stay with me, dear," West seconded, in a thin, brittle voice. Perforce she yielded. She cast one imploring glance upon Hollwedel— which he failed to catch—and sat down very sedately, folding her handr-; In her lap and playing with her wedding ring, the while a nervous, dimdent smile betrayed her inward agitation. Contrasted, the two men bulked big—even the convalescent, gaunt and haggard though he waB, was masfctvje and sturdy by her side, who seemed so frailly feminine. Anxiety and the wearing watches of long nights had wasted her, - To prove that he^ was not wholly down and out, West must needs rise from his Invalid chair and advance to greet. Hollwedel. - . . "Sit down, old man," he said, "and tell me all about it. You can't know how glad I am to see you. Tell me the truth—I can't get anything out of Bess or Dexter, beyond that 'it's all right,' and that you turned the tables on Belden in great shape. Tell me how you aid It." "Eh?" gasped Hollwedel, He sank into a chair with the air of an astonished elephant; and looked confusedly at Mrs. West. West's temper was worn thin by days of maddening iteration of the statement that he was too weak to talk about business. 'Don't say ' E h ! ' " he cried, peevishly. "Man, I'm starving for news of the Street. Don't act as though * He stopped, his eyes lighting savagely in their deep sockets. "My God!" he cried. "Have they lied to me?

I know you are bent upon living the life of a recluse, but you can do that much better here than you can In the crowded city. Come, dear; forget everything disagreeable and be one of our little party. The Fourth of July Is at hand, you know, and if you are in favor of a sane Fourth, this Is the place to find it." Marjorie Kenneth folded the letter and turned slowly to the mirror. Her lip quivered a little as she noted the pallor of her cheeks and the shadowy rings under her eyes. She certainly looked as if she needed some Inspiring influence to revive her drooping spirits. Her piquant dark face was meant for smiles and gaiety, and her melancholy mood was blighting and tragical in its effect on her otherwise beautiful features. She hesitated a long time, but in the end she sat down at her desk and penned this note to Mrs. Sibley-Brown: "I am coming. I am too utterly lonely and heart-sick to refuse. Of course the prospect of a sane and restful Fourth is an added inducement. Have some one meet me at the fivethirty train tomorrow evening."

Toe mother of John Washington, who em* igrated to Virginia In 1057, and who was great grandmother to the general, was Eleanor Hastings, granddaughter to Francis, second earl of Huntington. She was the descendant, through Lady Huntington, of George, duke of Clarence, brother of King Edward IV. and King Richard III. by Isabel Neville, daughter and heiress of Riefc* ard, earl of Warwick. Washington, therefore, as well m the descendants of that marriage, art entitled to quarter the arms of Hast* ings; Tone, earl of Salisbury; Planing* enet; Mortimer, earl of Marcb; Neville, Montague, Beauchamp ant Deverrux I The pedigree, which is full and accurate in regard to dates, gives as ft were sn epitome of the family.

The coatof- arms of the first John Washington was composed of three stars and stripes.

It was a beautiful place. The roomy country mansion with its broad, breezy piazzas and its velvet-green lawn sloping down to the water's edge, was isolated from the rest of the lakeside world, and sheltered by giant forest trees. In the miniature harbor, with its miniature docks and its boathouse, there was a variety of modern water craft, while farther out the gleaming surface of the lake was dotted with dancing sail boats. "On the ether side of the lake Is the village of Bluffton," the hostess explained to Marjorie, as they loitered on the lawn. "It is directly opposite us, just where you see that spire, with^lts^ gilded cross, rlslngabove the trees. *fney Tefl" SHf tfce villagers are going to celebrate the Fourth according to old-fashioned methods, but they are too far away to disturb u£" As the days went by Marjorie tried hard to enter into the spirit that animated the rest of the party. She resolutely put behind her the haunting specter of her heart-breaking trouble, and forced herself to be as cheerful and cordial and matronly as Mrs. Sibley- Brown herself. Yes, matronly, for it must not be supposed that Marjorie was a maid. To be sure, she was barely frve-and-twenty, hut she was c_^,. •-.tir wiCdj i.i i-,is w o ; A r m s . known to the world as Mrs. Kenneth by virtue of having been the wife of Chester Kenneth for more than two years.

Marjorie's dream of happiness had ended abruptly one year after her marriage to Chester Kenneth. A series of misunderstandings, disagreements and jealousy-inspired bickerings culminated in the only way that promised peace for both. They agreed to separate.

There was no end of enthusiasm and enjoyment, and even Marjorie Kenneth was conscious of a quickened pulse and thrill of interest now and then as the day's program was unfolded. It was early in the afternoon. The water carnival was in progress, and those of the party who were not in boats were lined up on the pier. All of a sudden a great shout went up: "Look! Look! the airship! Hurrah!" All eyes were Instantly turned ic the direction of Bluffton. Clearly outfined against the crystalline arch of the sky they beheld the promised aeroplane, sailing like'a bird through the air. It was a thrilling sight. Everything else was forgotten, and the attention of the revelers waB absorbed in what to them was an unusual spec* tacle. The flying machine was approach* ing, yet taking time to execute some startling maneuvers for the entertainment of the spectators, now soaring in wide, graceful circles, now swooping down toward the lake, only to rise again in Bplral gyrations, now describing the figure eight, and In other ways showing how perfectly it was controlled by the man at the lever. Minute after minute the onlookers watched it in awed silence. Then, suddenly, there was an explosion of sharp exclamations and cries of alarm, merging quickly into a horrified groan, in which the whole crowd participated. It all happened In an instant. Something had gone wrong with the aeroplane—the aviator had lost control. The machine tilted— collapsed—and shot down toward the lake, a shapeless mass of debris. One second there was a glimpse of the daring aviator plunging headlong through the air. The next he struck the water and disappeared, i Women shrieked and mne shouted hoarsely. Pandemonium reigned for a few minutes, but it quickly subsided when it was discovered that no lops of life had attended the accident The aviator came to the surface, gasping and choking, and was hauled aboard a launch.that chanced to be conveniently near.

D.'s. psoriasis, and others leprosy, commencing on my scalp; and in spite of all I could do, with the help of the most skilful doctors, It slowly but surely extended until a year ago this winter it covered my entire person in the form of dry scales. For the last three years I have been unable to do*- any labor, and suffering intensely all the time. Every morning there would be nearly a dustpanful of scales taken from the sheet on my bed, some of them half as large as the envelope containing this letter. In the latter part of winter my skin commenced cracking open. I tried everything, almost, that could be thought of, without any relief. The 12th of June I started West, in hopes I could reach the Hot Springs. I reached Detroit and was so low I thought I should have to go to the hospital, but finally got as far as Lansing, Mich., where I had a sister living. One Dr. treated me about two weeks, but did me no good. All thought I had but a short time to live. I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked through the skin all over my back, across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs; feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off; eV-nalls dead aud hard aa a bone; hair derd, dry and lifeless as old straw. O my God! bow I did suffer. "My sister wouldn't give up; said, 'We will try Cuticura.' Some was applied to one hand and arm. Eureka! there was relief; stopped the terrible burning sensation from the word go. They immediately got Cuticura Re- BOlvent, Ointment and Soap. I commenced by taking Cuticura Resolvent three times a day after meals; had a bath once a day, water about blood heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; applied Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. Result: returned to my home in just six weeks from the time I left, and my skin as smooth as this sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter, Henderson, N. Y." The above remarkable testimonial was written January 19, 1880, and is republished because of the permanency of the cure.

Adequate Rest Is Necessary. Prof. Frederic S. Lee of Columbia university, New York, writing on the subject, "The Physiology of Rest and Exercise," in the Journal of the Outdoor Life for June, shows by experiments on dissected frogs the way in which exercise tires the muscles and, in fact, all the organs of the body. He says, "There is no known antidote to fatigue, unless it be rest, with ail that rest implies. Sleep allows the reparative process of rest to be performed most quickly and completely. A moderate degree of fatigue, or even a considerable degree, when not too often incurred, Is not detrimental to a healthy body and is even to be advised. The healthy body is provided with great recuperative powers, and does not rapidly succumb to even excessive demands on its energy/ fipgiit should be allowed the proper condition for recuperation, and that condition is adequate rest. There is danger when the fatigue. of one day's labor is not eliminated before the next day's work is begun. The effect may be cumulative, the tissues may be in a continued state of depression, and the end may be disastrous." Never Forgot Business. "What would you take for a cold?" the sufferer said.

The exact position for the chief ornament of a band is according to the wearer's head, a long, short, or broad shape requiring different placing of this finishing touch. All ages from fifteen years wear hair ornaments. It will not be long before yellow hair will again be the fashion. The mahogany shade so long favored ts showing lighter effects all the time, and hair dyes are rapidly approaching the straw tint. And it has been made plain that the new gold or straw ttmt i s t o be without luster. A DAINTY DRESS. vray of wearing the hair is now somewhat ipasse. As will he seen by the picture the hair Is puffed high and toward the back of the head in crown-fashion. Pine ribbon, used as a fillet, is wound In and about the puffs. Pearled bands or ropes of pearl or of coral, may be worn instead of the r bbon if tire fair one is fortunate enough to possess these costly adornmer. \s.

M jr*rd net* flaWIt l^rd alsoo 41 teefcta wife t prencn Dimity This season Seems to Have Been Set Apart for Use of the Young Girl. For a young glrPs use there is no stationery more suitable than the fabric finished surfaoed French dimity which comes in white, gray and stone blue square -sheets of correspondence and hasty note size, with envelopes of matching dimensions. Of an equally refined and dainty character are the linen lawn papers in solid tints of aeroplane, dawn pink, Baltic blue, willow green, orchid and cream—the hemstitched fabric crossbar in white bordered with a pale shade of color, and the diagonally striped fabric in two tones of mauve, blue or buff. A fad of the hour, and one permissible only as a jdke when a note passes between two very intimate young girls, is the red-edged, tan-colored "Chanticler" paper, which has a crowing rooster embossed at the top of each sheet Lawnette correspondence card* for acceptance and regrets are accompanied by envelopes having semielliptical or triangular flaps on which a monogram or initial may be engraved. This stationery dines in a variety of pale tints, of which buff, pale gray, gray-blue or whit- are prettiest. Luncheon place cards matching the shades and patterns of the French dimity and crossbar lawn fabric finished stationery are -exceedingly smart and in eminently goofl taste, as are also cards^of umbrella ahape bearing hand painted violets, daisies and crocuses and in cut out flower and fig* ure designs. The Waist i.'lrte. Though the waist ltoe is less versatile than it used to be, trad is more and more inclined to aeeume the convegttonal position, the empire effect 4s «fffl to be seen. For reception and darning gowns it is graceful, and the •soft (outline it gives to the figure Is delightfully picturesque. But for the street all this is out of place,- it gives tfee wearer a silhouette dsat is untidy, and suggests a looseness that is attcajetber objectionable. In regard also to evening gowns the sane fault may be found. So long as a toilette is to be worn chiefly while walking or standing, the short waiat la permissible— even desirable—but for a din* ner, concert or theater it ia no longer so. The bust tmconfined falls out of shape, and the figure cut Is most unattractfve— and it li the realisation of this fact that has led to so many of the newest evening bodices being made with swathed draperies and close fitting lines. Philadelphia, Pa.—Through the lovely wooded hills and up and down the valleys which give the name of that historic spot, Valley Forge, the scene of the darkest days of the Revolution, go ruBhlng and whizzing nowadays the hourly automobiles bringing groups of patriotic tourists from ail the country What a change in the spot and in the people since that time when Washington and his suffering heroes camped among these picturesque hills. What a gap between those footsore, discouraged men and the pleasure- seekers whirled in luxury through this great national park. For some eight miles the motor route circles about over the fine park roads, and ob every side the natural charms of the beautiful scenery are enhanced by the hostorlc associations. Many memorial tablets have been erected, marking where different divisions of the army or various commanders were stationed. Here and there are log cabins, reproductions of the olden huts, and standing on the old sites. There are lines of the old entrenchments to trace, and much else of interest to a student of military affairs, but the automobile 1B toe swift for study of this -sort. The Memorial chapel, unfortunately, does not lie on the route taken; it requires, and well deserves, a separate trip. One does, however, pass the old school house*, built by Letitia Penn in 1703, which was occupied by the Continental army as a hospital during the winter of 1777-1778. The flag floats over it, and a group of budding citizens, who ought to develop remarkable loyalty educated in such a shrine of liberty, flock out for recess as the motor car passes. But the central point of the trip is, of course, Washington's headquarters. This plain old stone structure Is a fine example of the sturdy buildings of Colonial times. In its simplicity and As to the Fireplace. * The sides of a fireplace should be well splayed or beveled, in order to reflect the beat, says Arts and Decoration. The back should lean forward at the top, for tae same purpose, and the fireplace should not be too deep. A projecting chimney produces an effect of pushing the guest away, whereas a receding one beckons him nearer,Jo enjoy the hospitality of the open fire. For this reason the Inglenook, that i«, the fireplace built into the wall of the room, Is especially ootr and -ttf --"*— Washington's Headquarters. strength it shames the flimsy work of modern contractors. The interior is very interesting. The two main rooms on the ground flour open from tSie wide paneled hall with ample amall-paned windows. In both reception room and office the walls are adorned with portraits, and valuable relics in cases and in the okl-fashioned chimney cupboard attract the eye. "Grandfather's clock ticks in the corner, and an old gun fills the open fireplace. Across an open passage through which sun and wind have full play, is a wing containing the quaint old kitchen. While this separation of the kitchen from the main body of the "house has . ome advantages, the modern housewife would certainly object to the unnecessary steps it occasions. And she would doubtless be at a loss to get a meal over the fireplace with its hanging hooks and pots. From the pump room adjoining the kitchen a eteep flight of steps descends to an underground passage, only lighted from an opening in the lawn above. The other end of the passage once communicated with the river and thus afforded a means of refuge and escape in case of surprise by the enemy. That end has been closed up, but the curious Investigator can descend sad walk along the damp, dark paaeage,. with thoughts of tne dangerous days when such a' secret way waa deemed necessary. The bedrooms on the floor above are very attractive rn their quaintness. They have been furnished by different chapters of the Daughters of the Revolution with suitable antique furniture so they must look very much as they did in the hours when Washington reposed in the big "four-poster," or in the straight-backed chair by the fireplace brooded over the perils of the country. On the third floor, to which one must climb with bended head If a bump is to be avoided, the bedroom la aa cosily old-fashioned as anything in the house. Much time might be profitably spent In looking over the maps, plans, etc., which hang about the walls of the hall and the main rooms, but the Is* terest of the average tourist in such matters is soon glutted and be prefers to walk about the lawn and view the house from every side, or stroll dowtf to the Schuylkill river In front of the headquarters and people the scene with the figures of WastsssstMr and his veterans. „.•"., ^«g Po mail trava! of the sjevernaent. *k : * « WESTERN CANADA'S GOOD CROP PROSPECTS i » » « . I . Y I E L D S ' O P W H E A T W I L L L I K E L Y BE 26 TO 30 BUSHELS PER ACRE. In an interview with Mr. W. J. White, who has charge of the Canadian, government. Immigration offlcea 1 in the United States, and who has recently made an extended trip through the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta in Western Canada. He said that every point he visited he was met with the one report, universally good crops of wheat, oats and barley. There will this year be a much increased acreage over last year. Many farmers, who had but one hundred acres last year, have increased their cultivated and seeded acreage as much as fifty per cent. With the prospects as they are at present, this will mean from |12 to |15 additional wealth to each. He saw many large fields running from 300 to 1,000 acres in extent and it appeared to him that there was not an acre of this but would yield from 20 to 25 or 30 bushels of wheat per acre, while the oat prospects might safely be estimated at from 40 to 70 bushels per acre. In all parts of the west, whether it be Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta, north and south, east and west, and ia the districts where last year there was a partial failure of crops, the condition of all grain is universally good and claimed by most of the fanners to be from one to two weeks in. advance of any year for the past ten or twelve years. It does not seem that there was a single foot of the ground that was properly seeded that would not produce. There are those throughout western Canada who predict that there will be 200,000,000 bushels of wheat raised there this year, and if the present favorable conditions continue, there does not seem any reason why these prophesies Bhould not come true. There is yet a possibility of hot winds reducing the quantity in some parts, but with the strongly rooted crops and the sufficiency of precipitation that the country has already been favored with, this probability is reduced to a minimum. The prices of farm lands at the present time are holding steady and lands can probably still be purchased at the price set this spring, ranging Tr^m aTF-tr*-*^ p*"* ^ 1 ^ h»t ™»*h *- harvested crop, such as Is expected, there is no reason why these same lands should not be worth from $20 to $25 per acre, with an almost absolute assurance that by next spring there will still be a further advance in prices. Mr. White says that these lands are as cheap at today's figures with the country's proven worth as they were a few years ago at half the price when the general public had but a vague idea of the producing quality of western Canada lands. The land agents at the different towns along the line of railway are very active. A large number o! acres are turned over weekly to buyers from the different states in the south, where lands that produce no better are sold at from $150 to $200 per acre. The homestead lands are becoming scarcer day by day and those who are unable to purchase, preferring to homestead, are directing their attention to the park acres lying in the northerly part of the central districts. It has been found that while these are somewhat more difficult to bring under the subjugation of the plow, the sol! is fully as productive as in the districts farther south. They possess the advantage that the more open prairie areas do not possess; that there is on these lands an open acreage of from fifty to seventy per cent of the whole and the balance is made up of groves of poplar of fair size, which offer shelter for cattle, while the grasses are of splendid strength and plentiful, bringing about a more active stage of mixed farming than can be carried on in the more open districts to the south. The emigration for the past year has been the greatest in the history of Canada and it la keeping up in record shape. The larger number of those* who will go this year will be those who will buy lands nearer the line of railways, preferring to pay a little higher price for good location than to go back from the line of railways some 40 or 50 miles to homestead. Mr. White has visited the different agencies throughout the United States and he found that the correspondence at the various offices has largely increased, the number of callers is greater than ever. Any one detirtng information regarding western Canada should apply at once to the Canadian Government Agent nearest him for a copy of the "Last Beat West" The One Thing Needful. "Arms and legs are not so indispensable after all," remarked the man who narrowly escaped with his life in an explosion where he lost the use of both arms.

The hansom ordered by a middleaged spinster was late, and the cabby came in for a good rating when he finally drove up to the door. "I shall probably miss my train," the irate "fare" informed him, "and 1 shall hold you responsible. I want to know your name, my man. Do you understand? I—want—your—name!" The driver clucked up his horse easily. "You'll make your train all right, madam," he assured the woman inside. "And I'll let you have me number if you like. But you can't have me name.

Pinckney, Mich. and to the citizens of Pinckney and vicinity in general that from all present indications the aproaching anniversary of the Old oys and Girls Association will eclipse any point of attendance and all round attractions any meeting heretofore held. I am getting responses to my letters gent out all over the country, which clearly indicates that this forecast is well founded. The other day in old Richmond, Va., 1 had the pleasure of meeting our former towns-soy, Phil Kelly, now a prosperous merchant of Richmond, and can assure you that I was proud to go through his big establishment. He promised faithfully to be with us in August, and the word of a "Southener" is, you know, as good as his bond. I trust that the local committees are actively taking bold of the preparatory work, and that everything will be properly arranged. Ton may depend upon me for the heartiest co-operation which can be offered from this end the line. The thing to do is to boost this whole proposition to a finish that we may all feel a just pride in its success. Very truly yours, E. L.

It is said that nursing is one of the most inviting fields of human service and that its financial return surpases any other occupation oped to women, ltdevelopes all the native graces of woman* hood and leads the way to positions of trust and influence. The demand for more nurses is a wide world call. The Philadelphia school for nurses located in Philadelphia, Pa., has undertaken to meet this demand by offering free scholarships to young women in all parts of the country. Room, board, laundering, incidental expenses, special financial assistance and railroad fare home cm ^completion of the course, are provided. Length of couise—two years. Also a special short course and a home course for those who must quickly prepare for self support.

The clerk looked inquiringly, first at Annie and then at his employer. Then respectfully he asked: "Do we, air?" "We do," said the lawyer laconically. CHAPTER XVI. "Now, my dear young woman," .said iudge Brewster, when the astonished head clerk had withdrawn, "if we are going to get your husband free we must get to work, and you must help me." His visitor looked up eagerly. "I'll do anything in my power," she said quickly. "What can I do?" "Well—first of all," said the lawyer with some hesitation, "I want you to see a certain lady and to be exceedingly nice to her/' "Lady?" echoed Annies surprised. "What lady?" - "Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.," he replied slowly._ "Howard's stepmother!" she ejaculated. A clerk entered and handed his employer a card. The lawyer nodded and said in an undertone: "Show her in." Turning round again, he went on: "Yes—Howard's stepmother. She's out there now. She wants to see you. She wishes to be of service to you. Now, you must conciliate her. She may be of great use to us." Annie's face expressed considerable doubt "Perhaps so," she said, "but the door was slammed in my face when I called to see her;" "That's nothing," answered the judge. "She probably knows nothing about It In any case, please remember that she is my client—" * She bowed her head and murmured obediently: "I'll remember." The door of the office opened and Alicia entered. She stopped short on seeing who was there, and an awkward pause followed. Judge Brewster introduced them. "Mrs. Jeffries, may I present Mrs. Howard, J r . r - Alicia bowed stiffl and somewhat haughtily. Annie remained self-possessed and on the defensive. Addressing the banker's Wife, the lawyer said: "I told Mr*. Howard that you wished to apeak to her." After a pause he added: "J think, perhaps, TU leave you togeuMBr, sxcoase use. *He left the ofao* and there waa another embarrassing silence. Annie waited for Mrs. Jeffrie* to begin.

"G04 knows I'm willing, but I've had mighty little encouragement, Mrs. Jeffries. When I called to see you the other day, to beg you to use your influence with Mr. Jeffries, 'not at home' was handed to me by the liveried footman and the door was slammed in my face. Ten minutes later you walked out to your carriage and were driven away." "I knew nothing of this—believe me," murmured Alicia apologetically. "It's what I got just the same," said the other dryly. Quickly she went on: "But I'm not complaining, understand —I'm not complaining. Only I did think that at such a time one woman might have held out a helping hand to another." Alicia held up her hand protestingly. "How could I?" she exclaimed. "Now, be reasonable. You are held responsible for Howard's present position.". "Yes—by the police," retorted Annie grimly, "and by a couple of yellow journals. I didn't think you'd believe all the gossip and scandal that's been printed about me. xl dida't believe what waa said about you." Alicia started and changed color. "What do you mean?" sho exclaimed haughtily. "What was said about me?" "Well, it has been said that you married old Jeffries for his money and his social position." "'Old Jeffries!*" protested Alicia indignantly. "Have you no respect for your husband's father?" ' "Not a particle," answered the other coolly, "and I never will have till he acts like a father. I only had one Interview with him and it finished him with me for all time. He ain't a father—he's a fish." "A fish!" exclaimed Alicia, scandalized at such lese ma J est e-. Annie went on recklessly: "Yes—a cold-blooded—" "But surely," interrupted Alicia, you respect his position—his—" 'm; I respect a man beoausehe behaves like a man, not because he lives in a marble palace on Riverside drive." Alicia looked pained. This ' girl was certainly Impossible. "But surely," she said, "you realized that when you married Howard you—you made a mistake—to say the least?" "Yes, that part of it has been made pretty plain. It was a mistake—his mistake—my mistake. But now it's done and it can't be undone. I don't see why you can't take it as it is and —and—" She stopped short and Alicia completed the sentence for her: "—and welcome you into our family—" "Welcomo me? No, ma'am. I'm not welcome and nothing you or your set could say would ever make me believe that I was welcome. All I ask Is that Howard's father do his duty by his son." "I do not think—pardon my saying so," interrupted Alicia stiffly, "that you are quite in a position to judge of what constitutes Mr. Jeffries' duty to his Bon." "Perhaps < not. I only know what I would do—what my father would have done—what any one would do if they had a spark of humanity in them. But they do say that after three generations of society life red blood turns into blue." Alicia turned to look out of the window. Her face still averted she said: ! "What is there to do> Howard has acknowledged his guilt What sacflees we may make will be thrown away." Annie eyed her companion with contempt Her voice quivering with Indignation, she burst out: "What is there to do! Try and save him, of course. Must we sit and do nothing because things look black? Ah! I wasn't brought up that way* No, ma'am, I'm going to make a fight!" ."It's useless," murmured Alicia, shaking her head. "Judge Brewster doesn't think so," replied the other calmly. The banker's wife gave a start of surprise. Quickly she demanded: "You moan that Judge Brewster has encouraged you to—to—" "He's done mora tiian encourage me —God bless him!—he's going to take up the case.4* Alicia was so thunderstruck that for a moment she could find ho answer, "What!" she exclaimed, "without consulting Mr. Jeffries?" , She put her handkerchief to her face to conceal her agitation. Could it be possible that the judge was going to act, after all, in defiance of her husband's wishes? If that were true, what would become of her? Concealment would be no longer possible. Discovery of her clandestine visit to Underwood's apartment that fatal night musreome Howard might still be the murderer, Underwood might not have committed suicide, but her visit to his rooms at midnight would become known.

They implied that Howard was jealous. Is this true?" \ "It's all talk," cried Annie indignantly—" nothing but Bcandal—lies! Howard never had a jealous thought of me—and as for me—why—I've always worshiped the ground he walked on. Didn't he sacrifice eyerything for my sake? Didn't he quarrel with his father for me? Didn't he marry me? Didn't he try to educate and make a lady of me? My God!—do you sup pose I'd give a man like that cause for jealousy? What do the newspapers care? They print cruel statements that cut into a woman** heart, without giving it a thought, without knowing or caring whether it's true or not, as long as it interests and amuses their readers. You—you don't really believe I'm the cause of his misfortunes, do you?" Alicia shook her head as Bhe an-j swered kindly: "No, I don't. Believe me, I don't You were right when you said that at such a time as this one woman should stand by another. I'm going to stand by you. Let me be your friend, let me help you." Extending her hand, she said: "Will you?" Annie grasped the proffered hand. It was the first that had been held out to her in her present trouble. A lump rose In her throat. Much affected, she said: "It's the first kind word that—" She stopped and looked closely for a moment at Alicia. Then she went on: "It's the queerest thing, Mrs. Jeffries, but it keeps coming into my mind. Howard told me that while he was at Underwood's that dreadful night he thought he heard your voice. It must have been a dream, of course, yet he thought he was sure of i t Your voice—that's queer, isn't it? Why—what's the matter?" Alicia had grown deathly pale and staggered against a chair. Annie ran to her aid, thinking she was ill. "It's nothing — nothing!" stammered Alicia, recovering herself. Fearing she had said something to hurt her feelings, Annie said sympathetically: "I haven't said anything—anything out of the way—have I? If I have I'm sorry—awfully sorry. I'm afraid—I— I've been very rude and you've been so kind!" /'No, no!" interrupted Alicia quickly. "You've said nothing—done nothing— you've had a great deal to bear —a great deal to bear. I understand that perfectly." Taking her companion's hand in hers, she went on: "Tell me, what do they say about the woman who went to see Robert Underwood the night of the tragedy?" "The police can't find her—we don't know who she Is."1 Confidently she went on: "But Judge Brewster will find her. We have a dozen detectives searching for her. Capt. Clinton accused me of being the woman—you know he doesn't like me." The banker's wife was far too busy thinking of the number of detectives employed to find the missing witness to pqy attention to the concluding sentence. Anxiously she demanded: "Supposing the woman is found, what can she prove? What difference will it make?" "All the difference in the world," replied Annie. "She is a most important witness," Firmly she went on: "She must be found. If she didn't shoot Robert Underwood, she knows who did." "But how can she know ?" ^argued Alicia. "Howard confessed that be did it himself. If he had not confessed it would be different" "He did not cenfess," replied the other calmly. "Mrs. Jeffries—he never confessed. If he did, he didn't know what he was saying." Alicia was rapidly losing her selfpossession. "Did he tell you that?" she gasped. Annie nodded, "Yes. Dr. Bernstein says the police forced it out of his tired brain. I made Howard go over every second of his life that night from the time he left me to the moment he was arrested. There wasn't a harsh word between them." She stopped short and looked with alarm at Alicia, who had turned ashen white. "Why, what's the matter? You're pale as death—you—" Alicia could contain herself no longer Her nerves were on the point of givi:ig way. Sho felt that if she could not confide her secret to some one she must go mad. Pacing the floor, she cried: "What am I to do? What am I to do? I believed Howard guilty. Why shouldn't I? I had no reason to doubt his own confession! Every one believed it—his own father included. Why should I doubt i t But I see it all now! Underwood must have shot himself as he said he would!" Annie started. What did Mrs. Jeffries mean? Did she realize the tremendous significance of the words she was uttering? "As he said he would r she repeated slowly. "Yes." said Alicia weakly.

A squeezing device that will get all the juice out of a lemon and at the same time keep the seeds from getting in the lemonade has been designed by a New Jersey man. It is shown in the illustration and practically explains itself. The squeezer consists of two parts pivotally connected, one of them forming a cup and the other having a plunger fixed inside. A lemon or orange is cut in two and placed in L the cup, cut side down. The other member of the squeezer is then brought over till the plunger rests on the fruit In the cup. By pressing the two handles together th$ fru.it is flattened until every drop" of juice Is out of it, and the juice may then be poured Into pitcher or glass through the little lip which is seen on one side of the cup. The space through which the liquid flows Is so small that a seed can not pass through, and the seeds together with the skin of the lemon, can be dumped out afterward.

The large, thin-skinned ones are to be preferred, as these can now .be purchased for about one cent each, and, aa you know, in the middle of the summer you are required to pay three times as much for not as good quality; an hour's time, ten cents' worth of paraflne and five cents' worth of waxed paper will be considered money well spent if you now put away enough to last you through the hot spell. When you wish to use them, all that will be necessary will be to dip them in fairly hot water and not only will the paraffine entirely come off, but the hot dip will also Improve the lemon by making the extracting of the juice much easier and more complete. ALUROUND CHOUSE An excellent way of cleaning lamp chimneys is to hold the glass over the Bpout of a kettle of boiling water until it becomes well steamed, then polish with a* clean dry cloth, and the glass will be beautifully bright. When making boiled puddings of any kind try putting a piece of greased paper over the top before the cloth is put on. This renders the cloth much easier to wash, and keeps the pudding nice and firm. When steel knives are not in constant use always wrap them in tissue paper and lay them away. This quite prevents them from rusting, and so naves the bother of cleaning them when they are required again. Ground rice is excellent for cleaning white cloth. It should be applied with a piece of cloan white flannel, left for two or three hours, and then well brushed and shaken. The stalks may be very quickly removed from currants by well flouring, the bands and rubbing the currants as hard as possible between them. This takes much less time than picking them separately, and is qnite as effective, The following mixture is excellent for removing scratches from furniture. Mix equal parts of linseed oil and turpentine, dip a flannel into it, and rub' it well into the scratched parts. Pol* lsh with a soft duster, and you will find that the scratches will be almost Invisible. Lemon end Sslt Ivory knife handles that have become blackened may be cleaned by rubbing them with lemon dipped in salt, after which they should be washed in cold wster and they will he quite white again.

Albert Tiedemann, a freshman of the University of Pensylvanla, was called upon to vote for officers in a recent gathering. Not being well acquainted with the nominees, he thoughtfully hesitated before filling out his ballot. One of the company left the room with the explanation that he would "vote by proxy."

The nv:nen.vi"- opened a white-paved little ;V\rv across the boa»*d—a coxy invinr'on t • confidences. Mr. Wells smiled nnf"<••••- standingly down it, meeting fbo ).-dy's srnile just hi" side of halfway. "I've been ttTfhklng. Grrr'," si^id ihe lady, with pretty hesitation. "You have?" said Mr. We'N, balancing the fragile cup to evijey the aroma of the mocha. He smiled his disbelief. "Why shouldn't we—just you and I —have a box at the opera this season?" "Ah," said Mr. Wells, with no particular Inflection, "why shouldn't we?" The cup tinkled as it touched the saucer. "I am so glad you're nice about it, Grant." There was the least trace of haste Jn this. "You always are so nice about these things; I am sure I know no one who is so thoughtful. We'll make it my Christmas gift, won't we? None could give me more pleasure, and, best of all, I can share it with you. Of course, we couldn't use the box on Saturdays—the popular performances, you know—and that makes It cost ever so little. And then we can entertain so nicely. It is really economy; fewer dinners and receptions, you know. I am so glad to have thought of It—and so proud you approve; I knew you would, Grant— dear." Confusing—blinding—smiles and intonation* tumbled t u m u l t o u s l y down the white-paved alley, and, gripping Mr. Wells, bound h i m / h a n d and foot, LlHput like, and returned him captive to the lady. "Of course," he capitulated, unconditionally. t v President ^ e l l s , of the Twelfth Na- P l ^ . tional bank, never speculated. It was I ^ a matter of much pride to him that the Twelfth National and Its president should enjoy in common a substantial reputation for conservatism whidb was at once the envy and despair of competitors.

From the market and its aimless gyrations the talk turned at last to the various properties in which all were interested. "How Is Colorado Central coming on?" Austin asked of Newton. "I •havnn't ltcaid much uf it of lul^.'" "You keep your eye on our little Central, Austin," srid Newton, who was a crisp little man, fond of the good things in life. "You might have to pay a pretty penny to get it back." Mr. Wells, whose attention up to this time had been about equally divided between the conversation and the opera box, sat up. "Finding nuggets mixed in with the ballast along the line?" Austin demanded, laughlnp:. "Not yet. That'll come later,'* retorted Newton, cheerfully. "Too "busy catching up to our traffic now to stop for gold." as near 40 as possible. The decline attracted little attention in the dull market, and it was not until it touched 44 on the upward swing that the trading in It became at all animated. Here Hazlitt encountered such free selling of the stock that in order to keep it from breaking he was compelled to buy largely. This selling was reported to the pool as perfectly natural profit taking, and a request made for more funds to offset the calls on the broker. Mr. Wells drew another personal check, and another stub in the little leather-bound check book declared, "account opT box—current exp.," although there was, as yet, no corresncndjng credit entry on the books of the opoTs-houGo managomont.—• "Hefore noon on Tuesday the question was answered.

"It's just as I told you about the traffic," Newton went on, as the three lighted their cigars and settled back to await the messenger's return. "Two big smelters have just been put in operation on the Midvale branch; our extension to the Central Steel Company's plant is returning u« our share of business, and, beet of ah, the new link of the Western Colorado—it meets us at Silver City—Is turning over a big volume of paying traffic.

I thought you might like to know," added Marshall, as Barr smiled. • "Which game?" asked the little man. "Either. Colorado Central or golf." "Yes," said the broker, "of course, you're right. Put under the conditions we'll need more funds. We just about used up our past profits today keeping Central up." "Don't worry about funds, Hazlitt." Austin said, rather sharply. "You'll get all you need. I know I can count on Newton, and—well, our little pool isn't to be derailed by any market gambler. You ought to make him pay dearly for his meddling when that dividend is declared." Hazlitt laughed. "Depend on me. If you take care ofl the dividends I'll take care of the enemy." And so the little pebble which a woman's hand had tossed, blindly, into the quiet waters of the market was sending its waves In an ever-widening circle to an unknown shore, The "little" Opera Box Pool had outstripped its diminutive.

For the first time there began to circulate timid rumors that can decide whether we should abandon the movement at a loss or continue it at a possible—remotely possible— Rain." The others assented to this arrangement. "You'll get my check in the morning, Hazlitt." There was a touch of weariness in Mr. Wells' voice. "Mr. Parr, sir?" said the waiter. It was noon of Friday, and in the Lawyers' club. Mr. Parr kept his eyes ou the newspaper propped up against a carafe, but made a half circle with his busy fork in the waiter's direction. "Thank you, sir," said the waiter, reading permission In the maneuver. "I thought you might like to know, sir, that President Wells of the Twelfth National bank, has had this table ev- The copper mines in the Lake Superior region were moat important to the Indians.

Archaelogists have found that they also built fires upon the rocks and thus cracked them that they might more easily be smashed with hummers. One piece of copper propped upon poles over fifteen feet below the surface of the ground was found by explorers where it had been abandoned by the Indian quarrymen. Weighing almost three tons, it was a monument to the industry of the North American Indians, who have too often been considered lazy, and who, we must remember, had only the simplest tools with which to raise this 4*«ULX-_mass. One of their shafts, which contaTTiut! a mat>s—uf s u p p e r " weighing several tons, was twenty-six feet deep and the mass of copper had been_raised several feet, probably the only means the Indians had of moving it being wedges and sticks.

The use of peat for domestic purposes in European countries dates back several hundred years, but the extensive development In methods of mining and utilizing peat has been largely within the past ten years. At the present, time In many of the European countries peat is a large source of power development through the aid of the gas producer and engine, and the utilization of the peat bogs Is becoming general. Some Idea of the extent of this development may be had from the statement that Russia alone mines annually over 5,000,000 tons of dry peat. It is estimated by the United States geological survey that the bogs of this country contain approximately 12,888,000,000 tons of dry peat com- .mercially available.

"But I don't care to see a show— at least, not tonight," protested Merritt, feebly, trying with all a little man's horror of the ridiculous, to free himself. "Nonsense. I'll guarantee that you will enjoy the show all right" With the head usher looming ominously near, Merritt made a last desperate effort to free himself. "Baylock, old man, I can't possibly go In.

"Orchestra seats are all taken, sir," murmured the head usher, deferentially. Merritt shot a mildly triumphant glance la Baylock's direction. That gentleman grinned expansively. "Show Mr. Merritt to a box seat," fie ordered, and, chuckling audibly, Baylock disappeared into the box office. Scorning further-controversy, Merritt followed his guide to one of the lower boxes.

When he entered the box Merritt had taken a seat on the side nearest the stage, consequently It was an easy matter to keep his back turned to the other occupants. He. was fuming between a desire to go home and a grim resolution not to give the other man a clear field. At the end of the intermission, during which Merritt had committed his programme to memory, he tried once more to fix his attention on the stage. But the play was intolerably dull, and the hum of happy voices behind him tried his endurance to the limit How could she sit there and exchange banter with that young fool? In an extremity a mouse has been known to show fight, and Merritt. although he was good natured, was far from mouselike. A sudden anger took possession of him. He turned, and the look he bent on Amy was as ferocious as his extremely mild blue eyes were capable of expressing. To his amazement she met it with a gracious nod of the head. "I was wondering whether you would ever turn," she murmured softly, as she beckoned him to her side. It was bewildering, but Merritt managed to retain his senses and to bow to Cousin Nell and her brother-in-law as he made haste to take the chair which the latter bad vacated in his favor. "Oh, James!" Amy's tone expressed the deepest contrition. "I didn't think you cared so much." Not knowing how much was meant, Merritt contented himself with gazing rapturously into Amy's eyes instead ot making a verbal answer. "No," reflectively, "I didn't think you would become desperate." And Indeed only a girl in love would have suspected Merritt of such a thing. "I —I—it hurts me dreadfully to see you in such a state," she finished tremulously. "Well," Merritt conceded modestly, "I confess I was pretty wrathy, but I didn't know I showed it." ~~IfDlr1—I mean the other-" +OUB paused uncertainly. "Yes?" prompted Merritt encouragingly. "Never mind, dear," as she still hesitated. "It is enough for me that there was no ground for my Jealousy of Bob, and to know that I am forgiven. But I wish our reconciliation had found me in more appropriate attire," with a comprehensive wave of his hand. "James," Amy broke in, eagerly, "don't you know that it WM your forlorn condition that first opened my eyes to the desperate state of your mind? Had you appeared happy I would never have repented of my cruelty." Merritt determined to withhold explanations; therefore, his only answer was a sigh. She continued to eye him anxiously. "Well, dearest?" he encouraged, softly. "James," very timidly, "I am afraid you will be angry, but I won't feel safe unless you promise you will never again touch liquor. Merritt gave the hesired promise, but not without a secret qualm. "And now, are you satisfied, dear?" he queried anxiously. "Yes," breathed Amy happily.

He stated that the largest suitable peat areas in Norway were in the north, and cited instances of peat moors in Romsdalen (some 200,000 acres) mostly near the/ sea and suitable for the Industry; and also large tracts in the Troudhjem district and in Nordland and Troxnso prefectures. Octopus Caught on Irish Coast. A huge octopus was the uncanny catch made in Irish waters a few days ago by a steam trawler. The monster's trunk measured seven feet by twenty inches, and shooting out were two feelers and ntne thick arms, the longest of which was four feet. The hideous creature was caught off the west coast of Ireland, and was evidently out of its latitude, being from foreign waters. It struck terror into the crew when brought up in the trawl It will probably be sent to London for exhibition if It can be preserved. "This awful heat!"

How wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the soul! The intellect of man sits enthroned visibly upon his forehead and in his eye, and the heart of man is written upon his countenance. But the soul reveals itseir in—the voice only; as God revealed himself to the prophet of old in the still, small voice, and in the voice from the burning bush. The soul of man is audible, not visible. A sound alone betrays the flowing of the eternal fountain, invisible to man.— Longfellow: Hyperion. , , ^ 1 • Couldn't See* the Resemblance.'* .

Officers were wondering what they would do should another arrest be made, when the door opened and a sleepy-looking, blue-eyed foreigner drifted in with a most dejected "Goot efning, mens." The officers nodded their greetings to the stranger, who then asked: "Can I did some sleepings here? I yuet came from Chicago and am start to work tomorrow." "Well, the only space we have left is a bunk, which is already occupied by a colored man. You can share that if you want to," replied the officer. The man thought for a few minutes, scratched his head and said: "Well, I guess I no can see him in dark, and besides I am tired and want sleep."—Milwaukee Wisconsin. Old Superstition.

To tell you the curious story ot how the mind sffects the digestion of food* I refer to the condition the mind Is In, Just before, at the time, or Just following the taking of food. Jf be has-been properly educated (the major* ltyhMve)he will help you understand the curious machinery of digestion. To start you thinking on this interesting subject, I will try to lay out the plan in a general way mtid you can then follow Into more minute details* Pawlow (pronounce Pavloff) a famous Russian Physician and Chemist, experimenting- on some dogs, cut into the tube leading from the throat to the stomach. They were first put under chloroform or some other anaesthetic and the operation was painless. They wert kept for months in very gdod condition. When quits hungry tome un-appetiiing food was placed before them and, although hunger forced them to eat, it waa shown by analysis of the contents of the stomach that little if any of the digestive juices were found. t- Then, in contrast, tome raw meat was pnt where they couldn't reach it at once, and a little time allowed for the minds of the dogs to "anticipate'* and create an appetite. When the food waa finally given them, they devoured it ravenously and with every evidence of satisfaction. The food was passed out Into a dish through the opening before it reached the stomach. It was found to be mixed with "Ptyaltn" the alkaline joios of the month, which Is important for the first step in digestion. Then s a analysis was made sf tbs-contents ot -¾ the stomach, into which no food had entered. It was shown that the digestive fluids of stomach were flowing freely, exactly aa if the desirable food had entered. This proved that it was not the presence of food which caused the digestive juices to flow, but the flow was caused entirely and alone as a result of the action of the mind, from "anticipation." One dog continued to eat the food he liked for over an hour believing he was getting it into his stomach, whereas, not an ounce went there; every particle went out through the opening and yet all this time the digestive juices flowed to the stomach, prepared to quickly digest food, in response to the curious orders df the mind. Do you pick up the lesson? . - <- Unappetizing food, that which fails to create xn< anticipation, does not cause the necessary dlg«l juices to flow, whereas, food that is pleating to tke tight, and hence to the mind, will causa the compiles^ machinery of the body to prepare in a wc for its digestion. How natural, then, to reason that 09s should sit dow* to a meal In a peaceful, happy state of .mind and start Off the breakfast, say with some rips delicious fruit, then follow with a bowl of crisp, lightly browned, tola bftt of corn like Pott Tosstiss, sdd a sprinkle of sugar and tome good yellow ^ream and the attractive, appetising picture cannot escape your eye and win produce the condftton of mind which causes the digestive juke* naturs has hidden in mouth and stomach, to corns forth and do their workv , These digestive Jotcst can be driven back by a mind oppressed wtth worry, hate, anger or dislike of the disagreeable appearance of food placed before one.

A farmer owning as many as twenty- five sheep should have a good dipping vat. These may be made of wood, metal or concrete. For a smaller number of sheep than twentyfive, the barrel used to scald the pigs will do if the farmer feels that he cannot afford to purchase or build a vat. ^ A good galvanized vat ten feet long and four feet deep made purposely for dipping can be purchased^ for about $12. There are smaller sizes than this that can be purchased for leas, money. Concrete vats can be built at a normal cost. Three 6r four farmers can club together, and purchase one of the galvanized tanks and haul It to their respective farms as it is wanted. A dipping vat for sheep shoud be narrow enough to prevent the sheep turning around in it, and deep enough to swim large sheep. The length of the vat should depend upon tii* number of sheep a man keeps on bis place, as the longer the vat the greater the number of sheep which can be dipped in a day. There is considerable variation as to the A Dipping Vat. width of vats found on different farms and as a usual thing they are wider than necessary. Then, too, the narrower the vat the less the dip required to fill It. A vat 20 inches wide at the top and 8 inches wide at the bottom Is a fair average as regards width, although some very practical sheep men construct their vats as narrow as 16 inches at the top and 6 inches at the bottom when the vat is 4 feet deep. The size of sheep kept on a farm must, of course, be taken into consideration. The dipping vat illustrated is located in the driveway of the hog house, and can be used for the dipping of sheep and young pigs. It is built entirely of concrete, the walls of which are 6 inches in width with the exception of the partition between the vat and dry chamber, which has a thickness of 94nches. The end of the vat into which the hogs and sheep are plunged is perpendicular while the opposite end Is provided with an incline which is quite deeply creased to that the animal can walk out. The floor around the end of the vat from which the sheep emerge is so graded that all drippings return to the vat. There are sewer connections with this outfit, the valve of ^"Hch is located in the dry chamber. The end of the sewer pipe'In the vat is provided with a grate and trap so as to catch bits of wool and droppings which would otherwise clog the pipe. MAKING A HOG-TIGHT FENCE A"«:i.a Brick or Stone 8unk in Ground With i Piece of Wire Attached Will ./•, Prove Effective, I have had no little, amount of trouble fencing against hogs, for stretch the fence as tightly as I could, some old tow or pig would eventually press the wire up between the posts and let the whole bunch oat, nays a writer in the Farm and Home.

P U R D U E . ) - Nearly every one aimB to give his "brood mareB about a week's rest after foaling, but on few farms are sufficient horses kept so that they can be allowed a longer period of rest than this. When the mare 1B again put into the fields, shall the colt be allowed Too Young to Travel Far. to follow the mare, or kept in tnt barn? The latter Is the better place in many ways. If the foal Is allowed to follow its mother to the field, to trudge after her all day long, it will be completely tired out, long before the day's work is ended. It is also in danger of being Injured in various ways. It wotrld be far better off left at the barn in a lot, or, if the weather is bad, in a box stall, where it can do itself no harm. After the first day, the.jcolt will cease to be restless, and will become perfectly contented, as soon as its mother it taken out of its sight. Also, under this plan, the jhare will work as well as usual, after the firBt day or two, which would not be the case if the colt were in the field where she could keep it in sight most of the time. The fir3t week, of course, it will be necessary to unhif r h the mare in the middle of the for<-.K>on and again in the middle of the afternoon, and take her to the barn and allow the colt to suck, but this is not one-half as inconvenient as having the colt in the field to get in the way, and to keep lis mother lu a fiulUu of eJusllemtJflL. Grosscup Hae Plans to Handle Trust. Declaring the Sherman act, "even as now interpreted, an ineffective remedy in the just complaint of the ordinary man against monopolies,," Judge Peter S. Grosscup of the United States circait court of appeals, proposed in the commencement address before the University of Iowa at Iowa City a new method of dealing with trusts. "To recognize combination and monopoly as something necessarily hero —square the law to the fact—and then, as a condition to granting corporate power to all, reserve the right tn regulate rilYldftnds.'LJ^lhfl lemfidY Judge Grosscup advances. Taft's Big Party. The reception which the president and Mrs. Taft will give on June 19, the 25th anniversary of their marriage, probably will be the most largely attended function ever given in the White House. More than 3,000 invitations have already been sent out and each day the president is s u g g e s t i n g p i o r p nnmPK s o t h a t t h e lowest estimate Is that 4,000 will be Invited and that of these* at least" three-fourths will attend. THE MARKETS. It will not be long before the colt can be left away from its mother half a day at a time and then the mare can be worked without any inconvenience whatever. If there are two or more colts, put them in a lot together when their mothers go to the fields, and they will be more contented. When there is any necessity of having the brood mare away from home all day, the colt should be haltered to her side. If on the road there will then be no danger pt the colt running back, or up branch roads, or of following other mares. Haltering the colt to the mare is a particularly wise precaution when a trip is to be made to town, or anywhere where railroads have tracks to bo crossed. High-Priced Stallion. The thoroughbred stallion, Flying Fox, Is dead. He cost M. Edmond Blanc, the noted French breeder, $190,- 000, but proved to be a profitable investment at that, owing to his success in the stud. llVtSTOC Eye trouble Is rare in pigs. Constant oa«e? Is what develops the pigs into market toppers. An occasional feed of oats win bo valuable for the brood sow. Alfalfa is a great feed for the brood sow in summer and winter. Two litters of pigs a year Is anout what the best tows will do. Dont expect to work your horses sixteen hours a day jnst because you do. To produce milk a ewe must have good food and an abundance of fresh water. The hog bouse should be built on high ground eo that It wTH tosve good drainage. The feed for the mother ewe la an important item in securing growth in the lamb. Silage la to be one ©t the great feeds of the corn belt in the not die* tant future. When yon are fattening bogs, it te easy to make the mistake of giving too much corn. The bog is considered a dirty animal, bnt no creatQrr~eTE}bys a clean, dry J>ed more than a hog. Kafir corn alone is said to make largo quantities of excellent silage very nearly equal to corn silage. Environment has a greater effect on the lamb when ft i s young than at any other period of its career. The concensus of opinion among shepherds is $hat the docking should be done whe* the lamb i s about two weeks old. A balky horse is made so by a cranky or cruel driver, and can rarely be tjured 8o be very careful in breaking the colts. '' When fattening bogs on clover they should be fed conr only once a day, and that late in the evening, thus Ip ducing them to eat as much clover as possible.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE "Our boy was born In Toronto on Oct. 13, 1908, and when three months old a slight rash appeared on his cheek. What appeared to be a water blister would form. When it broke, matter would run out, starting new blisters until his 'entire face, head and shoulders were a mass of scabs and you could not see a particle of clear skin. Other parts of his body were affected, but not to such an extent. We tried about every advertised remedy without avail, indeed some of them only added to his suffering and one In particular, the Remedy, almost put the infant Into convulsions. The family doctor prescribed for him and told us to bathe the baby in buttermilk. This did not do any good, so we took him to a hospital. He was treated as an out-patient twice a week and he got worse, if anything. We then called in another dootor and inside of a week the boy was, to all appearances, cured and the doctor said his work was done. But the very next day It broke out as bad as ever. "We decided that it could not be cured and must run its course and so we just kept his arms bandaged to his side to prevent his tearing his flesh. We left Toronto and shortly after our arrival In Duluth, the Cutlcura Remedies were recommended. We started using them In May, 1909, and soon the cure was complete. You would not think he was the same child for Cuticura made his skin perfectly clear and he is entirely free from the skin disease. There has been no return this time. We still use only Cuticura Soap for baby's bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Minxu, May 3, 1910." Vegetable*.

Endeavor, a barque of 370 tons, entered the inlet first called Sting Rays Harbor, but afterwards Botany Bay, from the beauty and variety of the plants growing about Its shore. The vessel remained eight days, and before she left the British flag was hoisted. As is the custom on each recurring anniversary, the flag was again unfurled upon the spot where it-^nvas first displayed, and was saluted by the guns of the warships in the harbor.

I bought a ticket last summer on one of the busiest steamboat lines running o u t o f New York, where the fiat was "No whole stateroom to any one passenger," and finding a suitcase already on the lower berth 1 placed my own obligingly in the upper. When I turnod in that night my companion was still absent, but along toward morning, when I finally awoke, there was a bloody Jaekknlfe on the floor and the window was open. Just what had happened we never found but. 1 told- my tale to the p"p g p l ' *nd gave him the "exhibits," but who my stateroom companion was, except for the name on the boat's register, I have never known, nor do I know what became of him. In a Connecticut town oae night I met a stranger in the hotel lavatory. "What have you lost, my friend?" I asked, as I saw him searching for something. "I'm looking for the house toothbrush," he answered without hesitancy. "I have found the house brush and comb, but where the is the toothbrush?" One day I was busy with a customer right up to train time, and asked an enterprising bell boy to run up to my room and pack up my belongings. "Put in everything in the room!" I called after him cautiously. When I opened my bag In another town I found he had obeyed me. The Bible belonging to the^ hotel was rolled up in my pajamas. One night I left a call to be awakened at seven the next morning. It was the only train leaving in the forenoon, and I simply had to take^Jt. Of course I ordered breakfast and I was down on the minute. When I reached the dining room another drummer WBB JUBt finishing my breakfast, and there was not a minute In which to cook another. Once 1 left my grip in a parcel room and got a lady's by mistake. Of all the Paris lingerie I ever saw! But I was able to swap for my own before she became aware of the error. In the prohibition state of Vermont I have had some amusing expert-^ ences. Stopping at a hotel for dinner, I asked for some vichy. They did not have it, so I changed it for ginger ale or apollinarls. "Nothing doing in soft drinks, boss," said the waiter placidly. "But if you want beer or whisky I think I can fix it!" In another prohibition hotel I asked quietly for whisky. It was served In place of tea, and 1 drank it from a teacup. i* y ' Boy 8couts at Fire Patrol. The boy scout business has been given a great boom in this state by the manliness of the boy scouts who, acted as patrols at Bangor when theiA* aid was needed during and after the fire, and incidentally the need of military drill In the/, schools Is emphasized.

Expanded the Idea. , - > "You must fletcherize, Mabel, and then you will be healthy." So little Mabel fletcherked as long as her mother was looking and did very well for one of her yearB. Then^she went over to a neighbor's and tried to explain all about it. "Now; Willie," she said, "look at me. You fletch your eyes and I will fletch my mouth." On a Pinch, Rivers (erasing something he has "written)—I want to speak of a bald headed man and I don't want to use the billiard ball comparison. Can't you think of something not quite so hackneyed?

C. Smith of Charlotte, Mich., is serving his first terrd In congress and promises to be an active factor m the national legislature. He was born in Ireland in 1853, but came to America when but two years of age. He was educated in the University of Michigan and has been a painter, farmer, mason, lawyer, banker and manufacturer. Mfr. Smith is a Republican and represents the Third Michigan district. through A. H. UJarke, M. P., of Win' >ss of life has been given. ~ Saved by a Joker. / Just as the~government if sitting for the biggest legal game it—ajar played, the discovery is made that it is bound to.lose and tho Southern Pacific railroad to win $500,()00,00¾ if the play goes on. The stakes at%a great area of California's richestl>il lands. They were granted to tjhe railroad, with a clause in the gnyit expressly excepting all mineral lafids save those containing coal" and iron. Most of these lands were patented to the grantee more than six years ago. The joker in the situation is a ape- -e+ftl—statute—ot—limitation^ slipped through congress in an act of March 3, 1 Sf>l, and perfected by another act of March 2, 189C. The effect of th«se acts, as construed by the United States supreme court, is absolutely to bar proceedings by the government to annul a patent to land granted railroads after six years from the issuance of the patent. Until tley are repealed, the government has not a chance on earth to get back ';he Laurier Invited to State Fair. Another big attraction for Detroit and the Michigan State Fair, in the person of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Premier of Canada, is being sought. Sever;"! days ago President T. E. Newton of the State Fair Society received some pretty good assurances from influential Canadians that Sir Wilfrid would very much like to visit Detroit ai d Michigan on the occasion of President Taft's visit here, if he cou.d possibly arrange his affairs to make the trip. Mr. Newton very promptly conferred with people across the bo"- Mer, with the result that a formal ii vitation was extended the nremie Months May Pass Ere Toll Is Known. Because of lack of telegraph facilities and slowness with which the officials of villages in outlying districts make reports to the government, it is not improbable months may pass before an accurate statement of the number of earthquake victims is known.

"You're going on the stage?" She nodded. "I've had a very big offer." 'v .'vY'";l • -' - Hr*:: ! > • ; .> —The judge leaned forward, and low voice, so that no one in the outer office might hear, he said: "Well, I'll give you twice as much If you refuse the engagement." She laughed ironically. "You mean that my father-in-law •will give it," 6he said, lightly. Then she went on: "You know it's no use your asking me to concede anything unless you agree to defend Howard." The lawyer shook his head. ; "I can't—it's impossible." ' "T4xen neither can I," she exclaimed, defiantly.- . ^ Judge Brewster could not refrain from smiling. Ttos^young woman had actuaHy enveigled^hlni into an argument, Almost mockingly^he-.said: ^"So you're determined to have "Yes," she said, simply. "But I don't argue criminal cases." "That's Just- it," she exclaimed, eagerly; "my husband is not a criminal. He is innocent. I don't want a lawyer who is always defending criminals. I want one who defends a man because he isn't a criminal." Judge Brewster waved his hand contemptuously. "Go and see some other lawyer— there are plenty of 'em." She leaned eagerly forward. Her face was flushed from excitement, her eyes flashed. "There'B only one Judge Brewster," she exclaimed. "He's the greatest lawyer in the world, and he's going to help us. He Is going to save Howard's life." The judge shitted uneasily on his chair. He didn't like this forceful, persistent young woman. Almost fretfully, he said: "You -always say that. Upon my word, I shall begin to believe it soon." "I shall say it again," she exclaimed, "and again every time I see you." The lawyer turned round. There was a comic look of despair in his face which would have amused his visitor had her errand not been so serious. "How often do you intend that shall be?" i "Every day," she replied, calmly. "1 shall say it and think it until—until 1J, comes true." Judge Brewster tried to feel angry, although inwardly he had hard work to keep from smiling. With pretended indignation, he said: "You mean that you intend to keep at me until I give way—through sheer exhaustion?" She nodded. * "That's it exactly," she said. The lawyer gasped. "Well, I must say you—you—you're very brave." Annie shook her head. "No, I'm not," she said, earnestly. T i n an awful coward, but I'm fighting for him. Howard Jeffries lifted me up when I was way down in the world. He gave me his name. He gave zne all he had, to make me a better woman, and I'm grateful. Why, even a-dog has gratitude, even a dog will mk the hand that feeds him. Why should 1 hesitate to express my gratitude? That's all Tm doing—Just paying him back a bit of the debt I owe >lm, and r m going to move Hear** and earth to bring his father around to my way of thinking. I've j o t you already-—'' j The Judge bounded to his feet XfeoU Ws «**• bare nttrAarlgnt? -Got me alreedyr beTtttalmid. -Wbat do ro* nean by tbatr * Annie returned his angry look with the utmost calm: She was playing her cards well, and she knew it. She had hit the old man in a sensitive place. Quietly, she went on: "Yett^eVeay- 'yea' in- a minute il it wasn't for Mr. Jeffries." ' "Oh, you think so, do you?" he gasped. "I'm sure of it," she replied, confidently. Boldly she went on: "You're afraid of him." Judge Brewster frowned. He did not like the Insinuation that he was afraid to do the right thing because it might interfere with his emoluments." Yet, secretly, he had to admit to himself that she had almost guessed right. Now he came to think of it, he had taken this stand in the matter because he knew that any other course would displease his* wealthy client After all, was he doing right? Was he acting in conformance with his professional oath? Was he not letting his material interests interfere with his duty? He was silent for several minutes, and then, in an absent-minded kind of way, he turned to his visitor. "So you think I'm afraid of him, do you?" "I'm sure of it," she said, quickly. "You liked my husband, and you'd Just love to rush in and fight for him. His father thinks he is guilty and, well—you don't like to disobey him. It's very natural. He's an influential man, a personal friend of the president and all that. You know on which side your bread is buttered, and—oh, died in—Sing Sing—and the rest are not worth—" "Yes, yes, I knew," replied the Judge, hastily. "I got your family history from Mr. Jeffries after your marriage Ir i« qipd away among ffte family archives." She smiled sadly. "It's a wonder you don't burn 'em up—my folks were not a very brilliant lot." Earnestly she went on: "But my father was all right, judge. Blood was thicker than water with him. He'd never have gone back on me in the way Howard's father has on him." The lawyer looked at her fixedly without -speaking. Their eyes met, and the silence continued until it became embarrassing. Judge Brewster shook his head. "It's too bad. I'm sorry for you, really, I—" Annie laughed, and he asked: "Why do you laugh?" "What's the use of crying?" she said. "Ha! Ha! It's almost a Joke. You're sorry/ my father-in-law is sorry, and I suppose my mother-in-law is shedding tears for me, too. You're all sorry and you're all wearing crape for us, but why can't some of you do something?" The lawyer said nothing. He still stared at her in a strange, absentminded kind of way, until finally she lost patience. Boldly she said: "Well, you sent for me. What do you want to see me about, Judge?" "I want to tell you that you mustn't come here again," he answered. to-morrow. Perhap3 you'll have better news for me." The lawyer waved her back to her seat with a commanding gesture she could not resist. There was determination around his mouth; in his face was an expression she had not seen there before. "Sit down again for a moment*," he said, sharply. "I want to ask you a question. How do you account for Howard's confessing to the shooting?" "I don't account for it," she replied, as she resumed her seat. "He says he didn't confess. I don't believe he did." "Cut three witnesses—" "Who are the witnesses?" she interrupted, contemptuously. "Policemen!" "That makes no difference," he said. "He made a confession and signed—" Annie leaned forward. What did this question mean? Was the Judge becoming interested after all? Her heart gave a leap as she answered eagerly: "He confessed against his will. 1 mean—he didn't know what he was doing at the time. I've had a talk with the physician who was called in —Dr. Bernstein. He says that Capt. Clinton is a hypnotist, that he can compel people to say what he wants them to say. Well, Howard is—what they call a subject—they told him he did it till he believed he did." "Oh, well,, what's the use—?" The judge quickly put out his hand and partly pushed her back in the chair. "Don't go," he said. Then he added: "Who told you he was a hypnotic once more. "You Take Too Much for Granted." it's very natural—you're looking out for your own interests—" Judge Brewster interrupted her impatiently. "Circumstances are against Howard. His father judges him guilty from his own confession. It's the conclusion I'm compelled to come to myself. Now, how do you propose to change that conclusion?" "You don't have to change it," she said, quietly. "You don't believe Howard guilty^" "I don't?" exclaimed the lawyer. "No, at the bottom of your heart. You knew Howard when he was a boy, and you know he is as incapable oi that crime as you are." "Mrs. Jeffries, how do you know that your husband did not kill Robert Underwood?" "I know It," she said, confidently. "Yes," persisted the judge, "but how do you know it?" Annie looked steadily at him, and then she said solemnly: "I know there's a God, but I can't tell you bow I know it, that's all! Howard didn't do i t I know he dida't" The lawyer smiled. "That's a very fair sample of feminine logic." "Well, it's all I have," she retored, with a toss of her bead. "And it's a mighty comfort,' too, because when you know a thing you know It and it makes you happy/' Judge Brewster laughed outright. "Feminine .deduction!'* be cried. "Think a thing;'believe it, and then you know it!" Looking up at her* he asked: "Haven't you any relatives to whoa you. oaa go?" flhe shook her head. . "No," she said, sadly. "My father "Anything else?" she exclaimed. The judge began to fuss with the papers on his desk, as he usually did when embarrassed for words. "Of course," he stammered, "you will be amply compensated." "Of course," she cried. Rising from her chair, she shrugged her shoulders, and said: "OH, well, this is not my lucky day. They wouldn't let me into the prison to see Howard to-day. Capt. Clinton doesn't like me. He has always tried to prevent my seeing Howard, but I'll see him to-morrow, captain or no captain. He can make up htfc mind to that!" The lawyer looked up at her. "Poor girl—you are having a hard time, aren't you?" . "Things have been better," she replied, with a tremor in her voice. "Howard and I were very happy when we first—" A sob choked her utterance, and she forced a laugh, saying: "Here, I must keep off that subject—" "Why do you laugh?" demanded the lawyer. Already hysterical, Annie had great difficulty in keeping back her tears. "Well, if I don't laugh," she fobbed, "I'll cry; and as I don't want to c r y - why—I Just laugh. It's got to be one or the other—see—?" ,He said nothing, and she continued: "Well, I guess I'll go home—home —that's the worst part of it—home—" She stopped short, she could go no further. Her bosom was heavldg, the hot tears were rolling down her cheeks. The old lawyer turned away his head so that she might not see the suspicious redness in his eyes. Moving toward the door, she turned around. "Wen, yon have your own troubles, Judge. HI go now, but I'll come ijgaln subject?" Her hopes revived Quickly she said: "Dr. Bernstein. Besides, Howard told me so himself. A friend of his at college used to make him «ut all sorts of capers." \ "A friend at college, eh? Do\you remember his name?" \ "Howard knows it." V "Um!" ejaculated the lawyer. He took up a pad and wrote a memorandum on it. Then aloud he said: "I'd like to have„a little talk with Dr. Bernstein. I think I'll ask him to come and see me. Let me see. His address is—" "342 Madison avenue," she exclaimed, eagerly. The lawyer jotted the address down, and then he looked up. "So you think I'm afraid of Mr. Jeffries, do you?" x - She smiled. "Oh, no, not really afraid," she answered, "but just—scared. I didn't mean—" Judge Brewster was enjoying the situation hugely. He had quite made up his mind what to do, but he liked to quiz this bold young woman who had not been afraid to show him where his duty lay. Striving to keep a serious face, he said: "Oh, yes, you did, and I want you to^mderstand I'm not afraid of any man. AS-tp^ allowing my personal interests to interfere with my duty—" Annie took alarm-. \ S h e was really afraid she had offendecTnim. "Oh, I didn't say that, dluM2^ she exclaimed* timidly. " \ ^ Judge Brewster forced his face into a frown. "You said I knew on which side my bread was buttered!" "Did I?" she exclaimed in consternation. "You say a great many things, Mrs, Jeffries," said the lawyer solemnly. "Of course, I realize how deeply you feel, and I make excuses for you. But I'm not afraid. Please understand that—" He rapped the table with his eyeglasses at, if he were very much offended indeed. "Of course not," she said apologetically. "If you were you wouldn't even tee tic—let clone talk to me—and— asd-—" Pointing to the pi^ce of paper he held in his hand, she added: "And—" t "And what?" demanded the judge, amused. sHalf hysterical, now laughing, now crying, she went on: "And—and take the names and addresses of witnesses for the defense —and—think out how you're going to defend Howard—and—and all that—" The lawyer looked at her and laughed. "So you think I'm going to help Howard?" he said. "You take too much for granted." *> (TO BE CONTINUED.) Bee Culture In Switzerland. The flora of Switzerland possesses qualities that produce delicious honey, and thousands of colonies of bees may be seen in the country, being utilized by the people to increase the food sup ply and commercial products; in fact the productldn of honey and wax con* stitutes an Industry of considerable Importance to the confederation, at is shown by statistics furnished by the Swiss Society of Aplcuftmiets, RARE RELIC Of CIVIL WAR Picture of Sack of Flour Which Was Used to Raise the Sum of $1,000,000. Sycamore, 111.—Of all the war-time pictures, probably there are few rarer pictures than the accompanying print which haa beeu preserved by S. T. Armstrong of this place. The sack of flour bhown on the shoulder of the man in the picture was used to raise more than a million dollars for the famous sanitary commission, organized by Dr. Henry W. Bellows, Boston, during the last years of the Civil war. The object of the commission was to relieve suffering among Union soldiers of the northern army. The scheme to raise funds for the commission by selling and reselling a Million Dollar Sack of rlour. sack of flour originally worth $15 was the outcome of an election bet in Austin, Nev. This town was holding an election to decide the matter as to whether it would incorporate. On one side of the question was a man named Grldley, shown in the picture, and on the other was one Herrick. Gridiey agreed that If the election went against him, he would carry on his shoalder a sack of flour and keep step to the tune of "Old John Brown," played by a fife and drum baud trailing after him, the line of march being from one aide of-4he_tpwn to the other. Herrick agreed to do the same thing if the question was decided contrary to his hopes, only the band was to play "Dixie." There was a deal of war time feeling mixed up in the matter. Oridley's side lost out and so there was a time set for him to pay his electoin bet. After he had delivered the goods, Gridiey at once offered to buy the flour back for $25 and Herrick at once took him up. At this point Mr. Armstrong, who at that time was a citizen of the place, offered to give $30 for the trophy, falling in with Herrick's prop*- osition to turn the money over to the fund of the United States Sanitary commission. This was the start of the movement that ultimately ended in swelling the charitable fund to $1,- 000,000 throughout the country. WHERE INDIANS MADE PEACE Unitarian Church at Taunton, Mais., Marks Scene of an Early Treaty With Redskins. Taunton, Mass.—Among the religious edifices of Taunton, none Is more Important In Its historical associations than the Unitarian church, whose nite marks the scene of the settlers' council with King Philip, immediately after that great warrior had been proclaimed sachem of* the Indian tribes of Massachusetts in 1662.

MAK A trial package of Munyon's Paw Paw Pills will be sent free to anyone on request. Address Professor Munyon, 53d & Jefferson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you ara in need of medical advice, do not fail to write Professor Munyon. Your communication will be treated in strict confidence, and your case will be diagnosed as carefully as though you had a personal inter* view. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlika all other laxatives or cathartic*. They coax the liver into activity by gentle methods. They do not scour, they do not gripe, they do not weaken, but they do start all the secretions of the liver and Btomach in a way that soon puts these organs in a healthy condition and corrects constipation. In my opinion constipation is responsible for most ailments. There are 26 feet of human bowels, which is really a sewer pipe. When this pipe becomes clogged the whole system becomes poisoned, causing biliousness, indigestion and impure blood, which often produce rheumatism and kidney ailments. No woman who suffers with constipation or any liver ailment can expect to hare a clear complexion cr enjoy good health. If I had my way I would prohibit the sale of nine-tenths of the cathartics that are now being sold for the reason that they soon destroy the lining of the stomach, setting up serious forms of indigestion, and BO paralyze the bowels that they refuse to act unless forced by strong purgatives. Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonio to the Btomach, liver and nerves. They invigorate instead of weaken; they enrich the blood instead of. impoverish it; they enable the stomach to get all the nourishment from food that is put into it. These pills contain no calomel, no dope; they are soothing, healing and stimulating. They school the bowels to act without physic. Regular size bottle, containing 45 pills, 25 cents.

The North Lake band concert given here Saturday evening was made possible by the Pinokney business men.

Jarrett of Fort Wayne married Jennie Newsum he told her one evening after dinner that he had sohved the whole question of the advanced price of living, and when she leaned breathlessly forward he imparted the somewhat worn aphorism that it is cheaper to move than to pay rent. Mrs. Jarrett laughed and took It -aa a joke, because the next day was the one fixed for the visit of the landlord. However, she found that Mr. Jarrett was ha earnest, because within the naxt week or so «he had her first experience with an angry rent gatherer, papers of eviction and a visit from the sheriff. After that Mr. Jarrett put hrs theory Into continuous practice, and In the nazt seven years the Jarretts crated their household goods no ieec than *• U s e s ; l* moves being only two jumps ahead of the officer* of the law. Finally Mrs. Jarrett found that her love had been broken all to piece* with to much moving, a* she had not always had time to crate It properly. When she sued for divoroe she declared that her husband bad failed to provide a home for her, and Mr. Jarrett answered that he had, but the judge sided with the plaintiff. Had to Nurse the Chickens. WHEN the wife of Herman Roemer f of Denver left him he had his share of troubles. He had to turn in and do the cooking, and the washing, and, to complete the disaster, some pet chickens got sick, and there Herman was left all alone with them on his hands. He inserted "personal" after "personal" in the columns of the daily paper beseeching Pauline to come back: to her desolate home, hut not even the thought of the suffering fowls moved her fickle heart Finally, we are glad to relate, Herman nursed them back to health, and then ho sued for divorte, ••wed Runaway: Husband In Sheet.

His wife, instead of greeting him with tears, had on a nice white apron, and set dinner fit for kings before him.—He ate to repletion/ so that when he arose after it and said he was about to return to his vessel, it was easy for Mrs. Stewart to persuade him to take a little nap before so doing. As soon as Stewart had begun to snore the sleep of perfect* digestion Mrs. Stewart and Charlie bound him fast to his couch with, clothesline, and then Mrs. Stewart sewed a sheet about'him. Then she sent Charles to the police 8 tat ion, and when the policeman came they took Stewart to the station on his bed, and there his bonds were cut. She Wouldn't Say "Obey. HE other day a divorce was granted in Pittsburg that ended a marriage of 30 ytfarsT'during all of which time the man and woman had been separated on account of a stubborn whim of the bride. When Mary Torrence and John Speer were married Mary corrected the minister and declared that she was not willing to include the word "obey" in the marriage service. After the oeremony the pair proceeded to their home, and there the bridegroom began to reason the matter out Then Mrs. Speer said she considered the word "obey" foolish, as she had no Intention of doing any such thing. The bridegroom asserted his right to bo considered the head of the house, and In short a fine, lively quarrel started on the question of who should wear the trousers. Finally the newly made husband seized his hat and said angrily that ha would never return to his home until his wife signified her willingness to submit. As time went on the' resolution of both hardened, and the marriage halted where It began at the word "obey" In the marriage service. Husband Who Would Not Smite. MRS. John Fohlman of Des Moines secured a divorce because she had that which men usually declare a woman does not possess—a sense of humor. ' Besides, she had a sensitive disposition, so that when she tried to regale the family dinner, table with funny stories and witticisms, and her husband met her efforts with only cold stares, she was so deeply wounded that she charged cruelty in her petition. One time, she related, when the family was having a fine time telling Jokes and commenting humorously upon the news of the day, her husband acted to morosely that one of the children asked him if he was not feeling well, whereupon he responded: vi hate to see a sot of fools." Comedy or atgy ono Dsoomoo^ WH8R the friends of Minnie ZoJbo of Detroit remonstrated with her for marry*** 70*oor-oid Christian JCotbev she toesed her bond and quoted the proverb about-ao old maa'a darting aad a young mssVs slave. Bet mitted that he might be In his second childhood, but denied the same right to his wife that he had to his mother, to suffer correction in such a humiliating way. Minnie admitted his allegations, but declared that Zolbe had grossly deceived her, as before marriage he bad told her he was wealthy, and when she found out the falsity of this statement she felt that he had entrapped her into marriage so that he might have some one to Took after him, and ahe was merely doing this. The Silent Husband. SOON after their marriage, Frank Beekman and his wife of Aabury Park had a tiff, and Mrs. Beekman angrily and tearfully said: "I don't want you ever to speak to me again." "All riKbt I won't," Bhouted Beekman, seizing his hat and making for the door^ By night Mrs. Beekman had forgotten about the quarrel, and was ready to tell her husband the news of the day when be returned from work in the evening. But Beekman came in, returned no answers to her questions, ate his supper and went to bed without speaking. His wife thought he was suffering from a spell of sulkiness and tried to coax him out of it by persuasion, tears and finally anger. But from that day for 4 years Beekman never spoke a word at home. Mrs. Beekman tried burning the soup and putting salt in his coffee, in the hope that his anger would drive him to speech, but Beekman never went furthen than shaking bis head. Once— it was a red letter day for Mrs. Beekman— he moved his lips as if about to say something, but evidently changed his mind, and closed them firmly again. Adhering to his policy of silence, Beekman interposed no answer to his wife's suit for divorce. I Romance Versus Commuting, F THE time-tables had been different, if Dermot Holden's hours at work had been shorter, if Delawanna, N. J., had b^en,nearer to New York, Isabelle Holden is sure that the dream of her married life would never have been shattered. For the Irksomeness of arising at 4 a. m. to start her husband's breakfast, of blacking his shoes at night so that he would not be late in starting for his train, of seeing that he really arose when the alarm clock gave its warning, wore all the romance out of her life. "The wife who-etayj- at home," she said, "commutes just as much as the husband." The rush to the train and the rush home made Dermot nervous and irritable, and he was to tired at night to take" her out any place or to be any company to her. The pair owned a house at Delawanna, they were not able to dispose of it, and until they did they could not move into the city, so each wearied of the Joys of a commuter's life, and a divorce suit was filed. He Impersonated Satan. ANDREW BLAES of Chicago became much interested in hypnotism and occult science several years ago, and insisted upon performing many of his experiments at home, much to the discomfort of his wife. He burned incense, which made her sick, and on one occasion, after TsbTe had retired, she heard such strange noises proceeding from the kitchen that she arose, tip-toed to the door and peeped In. What was her horror at finding her husband dressed In red to represent Satanic Majesty, burning red fire and screeching like a fiend. ' When he caught sight of the frightened face of his wife he started toward her, and as she fled he followed. He chased her all over the house, and each time he caught her he tore a piece out of her night dress, until she was almost nude. He also, on another occasion, erected a throne in the bedroom, and, dressed as the devil, he seated himself upon it and made her bow down and worship him. SOME 0000 BASEBALL FACTS Work of National, and American League* Since Forming into Present Circuit*—Pittsburg Best. Since the National league has been composed of its present circuit, which was formed in 1900, its teams have played 6,462 games, these not including ties or protested games thrown out. The American league's present circuit began with the season of 1903, and its clubs have played 4,995 games. Every baseball follower has a pretty clear idea of what the clubs of the big leagues do against one another year by year, but his mind does not run back to the work of the different teams in the combined years. He knows that Pittsburg, New York and Chicago have made most of the running in the National league from 1900 ©B—1*04'--wae-the- year tn- which the National league was cut from 12 to 8 cities—but he has practically no conception of how many each of these three has won in the entire 11 years. The figures show that the American league clubs have been more evenly matched in strength than those of the National. There have been individual years In which there was little to choose from in this respect, but taking the life of each league as a whole and there is much less difference between the greatest and smallest percentage of the first and last club In the Amen can than in the National. The highest percentage for the eight combined years in the American league is .5TS and the lowest .433, a difference of 145 points; in the National league the greatest percentage is .622 and fee smallest .414, a difference of 208 points. The Pittsburg have the highest percentage in the National league—.622 for the total winnings of 11 years. The order of the others is as follows: Chicago, .604; New York, .569; Cincinnati, .480; Philadelphia/ .471; Brooklyn. .441; St. Louis, .414; Boston, .390. Only three of the eight clubs have won more than half of their total games—New York, Chicago and Pittsburg. The number of contests won by each club is as follows: Pittsburgh 996; Chicago, 9€4; New York, 918; Philadelphia, 787; Cincinnati, 781; Brooklyn, 717; St. Louis, 651; Boston, 628. The American league percentages in their order are as follows: Athletics, .578; Chicago, .541; Detroit, .641, -Cleveland, .634; New Vork, .611; Boston, .610; St. Louis, .433;. Washington, .365. The Washington! have the lowest percentage of victories in either league, but-there-Is- less difference between the lowest and highest In this league for the reason that the successful teams have not won as often as the stronger teams in the National.

A too convivially Inclined young clubman was introduced at a reception last week to a clever society woman whom he understood, In some hazy fashion, to be a great artist.

"No man living can tell how a ball team is going to finish/' offers Bobby Byrne, "and If he picks one out right before the season opens he is merely making a good guess.

Many things enter into a championship campaign that the spring dopesters as a ' general rule ovenlpojk.

Now CHARLES TAFT IS WATER BOY Being Too Young to Get on 8chool Team Does Not Discourage 8on of President. -Charlie Toft, son of the president, has started to learn baseball by act ing as water carrier of the nine of the Taft school, of which his uncle, Horace Taft, is principal. jCharlie has caught the enthusiasm for the game shown by/ his father and the fact that he Is nephew and namesake of the owner of the Chicago National league team also contributed to bis ambition to make a place for himself in the national game. He is too young to play on the school team, but Is ambitious to become a manager, a position which Is often obtained through the water boy route. Hence his decision to preside at the pail. it is looked upon as one of the hardest. The first baseman nowadays has to be a fast fielder as well as the second or third baseman. He has to cover a great amount of ground around the first bag, be able to run up on bunts and exhibit an amount of ginger that was unknown to the initial sacker a few years ago.

Once Representative William Alden Smith, now a United Sjaigs, senajor, tried his level best in the house debate on Panama to make Congressman Dinsmore of Arkansas supply a stock of good Republican campaign material, just as Blaine baited Ben Hill in the old days. Dinsmore was talking about the hasty recognition of the independence of Panama by the United States and drew a comparison between that action and the' attempts of this government to keep foreign nations from recognizing the confederacy in 1861. The Arkansas member got warmed up and began to talk about the power of the confederacy. He made the statement that its soldiers had thrashed the Union army In the first six battles of the war. He got still warmer as he went on, and suddenly Smith of Michigan sprung the question, "Are you defending the rights Of the states to secede?" Dinsmore came to himself like a flash. "Ah, Brother Smith," he said, "how you would love to lead me into the pit! I have an abiding affection for you, but neither my feet nor my tongue shall go astray for the benefit of the Republican party." Everybody knows what a stickler the senate is for courtesy. Courtesy has a seat at every desk. When one senator refers to another, whether he be a political foe or a politcal friend, it is always as the "distinguished gentleman from Maryland," or from Maine or another state, as the case may be. Senator Tillman said a fairly.good thing one day. It was a side remark, but it reached the gallery and was enjoyed by the auditors, w>o had become a bit weary of resisting the Impulse to salaam every time a senator rose and handed a few verbal flowers to a col>eague. Senator Bailey had just referred to the "distinguished senator from Maine. "Quit it," said .

It war rumored once that in order to evade the laws of this country certain great companies were planning to take out corporation papers abroad. The matter was called to the attention of the agricultural member of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet. His comment was this: "We have laws; we have petit Junes; we have grand juries; we have a ibpiftment of justice; we have courts, and we have penitentiaries," Then Mr. Wilson smiled Just a.little grimly and refused to discuss the4ubject further. He couldn't nave said anything that would have added one iota to his meaning/and he knew it. There is no waste of words in the conversation, of James Wilson. Secretary Wilson unquestionably would be a success as a managing editor of a great newspaper. He knows news.

When a newspaper man goes to see the secretary in Washington he knows that if he gets one word beyond the ordinary interchange of "pleasant day" courtesies he is going to get something worth publishing. Mr. Wilson having been in office for several years and being a keen student, has discovered that certain things are published and certain things are not published. He has learned how to save himself time and words. In the parlance of the press, Mr, Wilson is "good copy." — Congress appropriated some money to erect a new building for the department of agriculture. Every congress wishes to make a' record for economy. So it was that the amount appropriated was not sufficient to put up a structure that would meet the future demands of a rapidly growing branch of the government. The secretary of agriculture knew it, and so. with a certain shrewdness that was all for the good of the country and the service, he saw to it that the money was put into two comparatively small structures. The two taken together will be big enough for present uses, but in order that they shall form a complete and artistic whole it will be necessary one day to join them, and the connecting link will be a big building in Itself. The argument for more room is apparent and convincing. The agricultural department will get more building money from congress, and get it scon, and the anger that was aroused at first by the secretary's shrewdness will be turned to laughter and to something much like admiration. The Iowa farmer's successors in | office will have to thank him for removing a mountain of trouble from their paths. As government department rank, thn on? leveled to the promoMcn of asricylt'iri! stands n?xt to the foot of the Kst. This U on papor only. Its importance to the country is so great that men say Its^roper place is near the head of things governmental. The passage of the packing-house inspection and the pure food laws have increased the working duties of Mr. Wilson's department immensely. , Secretary Wilson sheds trouble. He is a good deal of an optimist, and when difficulties arose over cotton crop matters, and there seemed imminent danger that a scandal would result, there was no signs of worry on the secretary's part. President Roosevelt felt implicit confidence In the cabinet official wbo had come to. him as a heritage from the McKinley administration, and there is no doubt whatever that he expressed his confidence personally. In one respect the secretary of agriculture holds himself to be particularly fortunate. Possibly he doesn't consider it to be really a matter of good fortune except at such times as he seos the trouble of his fellow cabinet officials who are more than suspected of having presidential ambitions. > Presidential politics personally do not worry James Wilson. T h « constitution of the United" States keeps such worry from him, for the secretary waa born on the1 slopes of th«- Ayshire Hills In Bonnie Scotland, and.oaman fron- , over the water can sit In the chief chaiPoTnljo nation.

GOOD.) giatoflcaily, »heep scab is one of the oldest diseases of sheep, but its cause was not discovered until about the middle of the nineteenth century (1636), when the agent producing; the disease was found to be a very small mite. This mite Is light gray In color and the female is one-fortieth and the male one-sixtieth of an inch in length. In general appearance the mite resembles a tiny spider. It has four pairs of lega, the last being, very .N. small, and the third pair having long thread-like appendages which are longer in the female than in the male. The mite crawls very slowly, showing that its power of locomotion is weak. A female will lay from ten to twenty eggs during her lifetime. These eggs are so small that they cannot be distinguished with the naked eye. The period of incubation is from four to ten days, depending mainly upon temperature. Gerlach, a noted authority, estimates the descendants of a single female to be 1,000,000 females and 500,000 males at the end of 90 days. He estimates the average number of eggs from a single female to be 15, ten of which hatch females and five males, and allows 15 days for each generation. The first symptom thai; attracts one's attention to the affected animal is its rubbing certain parts of its back, aides or tail against some object, or biting at these parts, as the bites of P_r°PJr treatment for sheep afflicted with the scab. The federal government has done a great work in reducing the number of scabby sheep in thia country, but In spite of its efforts there are plenty of them in the United States today, a condition of affairs not to be wondered at when we consider the gigantic task of stamping out such a communicable disease in as large a country as ours. There are states, however, where no scab exists, the farmers and the state authorities having aided the federal to eradicate it.

The Irritation is much more noticeable when tfee sheep are warmed up by driving than wbsu they remain quieT Infection generally begins on some portion of the side or back, and is «BuaUy confined to these parts of the body. The infected spot first consists of a moist, yellowish, dandruff-like substance, often no larger than a pinhead, and unless careful examination be made, may easily escape detection. If this place is scratched, the 6heep will respond by a nibbling-llke motion of the mouth. Large patches are formed either by small infected spots located on different parts of ,the back growing and uniting, or by the gradual enlargement of a single spot. In obtaining their food, the parasites in these patches irritate the skin of the sheep to such an extent as to cause the secretion of a large amount of serum which, in drying, first takes on the form of dandruff, and upon extended irritation the dandruff is replaced by thick scabs. Where .the scabB first form, the wool seems to be more firmly attached to the skin than before infection, and Btanda •'out in tufts, giving the fleece an uneven appearance. In time, however, being deprived of nutrition, the wool loosens and drops from the skin; the sheep loses flesh and presents, on the whole, a \ very uncanny appearance; and eventually, if untreated, dies. Proper treatment will, however, destroy the scab mite and renew the growth of the wool. Popping In a reliable dip is the (By W A L T E R B. LEUTZ.) Clover is the greatest pasture for hogs—provided it is not allowed to make pigs thrive at top notch. / The clover blossom is a very pretty flower but it is about as much oat of place in the hog pasture as a rose bush in the com field. While most farmers recognize that red clover is an admirable food for swine, few of them, comparatively, understand how to utilize a clover pasture for hogs. We make this assertion in view of the fact that clover is, in many instances, allowed to blossom in the field devoted to hog-graztag. If the reader will bear in mind for s, moment that the purpose of.-every plant is to flower and ""go to seed" he will understand that when the flower and the seed have formed in succession, the season's .work of the plant is practically over and plant growth gives place to plant ripening, and decay. "Soon ripe soon rotten" is an old saying and it indicates what we have In m i n d In thta dlRfngaian What we are after in pasturing hogs on clover is feed not posieB. If the clover plants are allowed to ripen the food-producing capacity of the plant Is reduced. If, on the other hand, the plants can be prevented from blossoming to any great degree, tfcey keep trying to blossom right along, provided sufficient rains descend and in doing so the hogs are fed. in districts where clover luxuriates, and we find such places In many parts of the country, swine of the right age may be pastured upon this green food from about June right up to__e_a_rly fall, should timely rains maintain a steady growth of the clover plant. Culture of Currants. For varieties the President Wilder Is probably the best liked as it clings to the bushes the longest. The Cherry, Fay's Prolific and Perfection are also very good varieties. The soil for_. currants should be very well prepared and enriched. Practice deep plowing before planting the currants and then put them 6x4 feet. Practice shallow cultivation and mulch if need be.- Put in a cover crop the first of July such as buckwheat. This can he cultivated into the soil In the spring, thus keeping up the amount of humus in the soil. As one and two year old wood produces the best crops, care should be taken to see that no wood is over two years old. Prune out old wood as soon as berries are picked out. HIS & waauR P.

"It's more'n awkward: it's nothin' short o' 'orrible," snapped the lady, as she once more glanced at the sorry elderly man's set of features. When the rest of the passengers tittered audibly the old gentleman came to the conclusion that it behooved him to speak to the point "I mean the child"— he tried once more.

A wife* is a decided addition to the demands upon one's purse. In that sense, however sensible and managing she may be, she is expensive. But everything worth having has its price of one sort or another, and there are some things which cost much without which life is hardly woHlTTlvteg. Said Thiers: "Most men contemplate making some self denial when they marry. They think they will give up Sttch~and such expensive pleasures. Later on, when they discover that they cannot do so, and at the same time they lack the means to Indulge, they complain that it is the extravagance of their wives which causes the inconvenience." Which wise saying Is applicable to men in other countries besides that of Prance.—New York American. Reiterated. Edmund Kean was playing in "Richard HI.," and the part of Catesby had to be taken by a low comedian, who sauntered on to the stage at the wrong moment and uttered the famous words, "My lord, the Duke of Buckingham is taken," in the wrong place. Edmund clinched his fists in rage, but otherwise took no notice of the remark. Later the comedian repeated the words in the right place, and when the king expressed surprise at the news Catesby folded bis arms, walked boldly down the stage and remarked to the great actor in loud tones: "I told you so before, Mr. Kean, but you wouldn't believe me."

[ For~5iany years th'e J*ile nation was the "world's premier market for perfumes. It was to a company of IshjBMlltea, -eome from QUead with splcery, balm and myrrh, that Joseph v a i sold; and -^he perfumer* were among the richest merchants of those remote times. * : The storied "balm of Ollead," then so common and now so rare that only the sultan can have all he wants, is distilled from the .'axnyris, a bush that once upon * time covered the mountains of Gilead. In Vain today might Jeremiah cry out: "Isithere no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there?" The ancient Hebrews made wide use, of perfumes—first in their religious ceremonials. Indeed, their love of Sweet odors was on a par with their love for gold and precious stones; and as certain of the latter had to be used lor the adorning of the high priests, so were certain perfumes set aside for the service of the altar and the inner temple. The Jews perfumed their beds; scented their hair and beards and, wor© alabaster vials filled with musk, attar of rose, balsam or costly spike*' nard of the sort with which the woman bathed the feet* of Jesus of Nazareth. And it is a signiflcent testimonial to their high regard for perfumes that of the three offerings borne to the Infant savior by the wise men two. were of perfume—frankincense and myrrh. The Talmud directs that one-tenth of each bride's dowry be set aside for the purchase of perfumes, and the queen of Sheba was long remembered in Judea for having Introduced there a delightful odor known as the "balsam of Mecca," which gained great popularity. It is now grown In only ono place—a certain Arabia plantation— and the total annual yield is three pounds. ' Old Books and Values. Such a sale as that of the Hoe collection, which attracts widespread notice by reason of its spectacularism, always has the unfortunate effect of Iirn^TT,<MB~-a*flBgarfttftd ffi»pfl' among many people concerning the value of old books. It U hard to explain to fetich people when they submit a volume a couple 6f hundred years old, and are told that It may be worth In the market anywhere from nothing to one dollar, how it i s that some old books are valueless, while others are priceless. An ignorant imagination, 'stimulated to accounts . Of fabulous sums readily paid at auction sales for old books, is not easily convinced that foTfiRlmel subtle, still thereart rufel. And thus, whether the price at the big book auctions are or are not absurd, they are certainly producMve of absurd ideas with people who have in their possession a dogeared volume or two which belonged to great-great-grand- TRUST ILLEGAL U. 8 . W I N S DECISIVE VICTORY A G A I N 8 T COMBINE H E L D MONOPOLY IN R E 8 T R A I N T O F T R A D E . IS GIVEN SIX MONTHS TO M A K E CHANGE8. Tribunal Declares in Decree Corporation Ruthlessly Carried Out Purpose to Crush Competitors; Public Injured, Too, Says Court. The supreme court of the United States ordered the dissolution of the American Tobacco company, that recording its judgment In the second of the big anti-trust cases. The dissolution, however, unlike that of the Standard Oil company, is to be carried on under tbe direction of the lower court—the circuit court of appeals for the southern district of New York. The supreme bench places on that court the burden of devising not only a plan of dissolving the combination, but of "recreating, out of the elements now composing it, a new condition which shall be honestly in harmony with and not repugnant to the law." To enter such a decree, it became necessary for the supreme court to reserve and. remand the case to the federal court In New York. The decision of the supreme court goes much farther than that of the lower tribunal. It includes within its condemnation the 29 individuals named in the government's bill of complaint, the two English corporations, the British-American Tobacco company and.^lhe Imperial Tobacco company, and also the United Cigar Stores company. Chief Justice White, who read the opinion, held that the circuit court of appeals had erred in dismissing the government's bill of complaint against the individuals and the foreign corporations and also in not granting the government's prayer and including within the decree the United Cigar Stores company. In brief the supreme court completely sustained all of the vital points contended for in the original bill of complaint filed by the government. Attorney General Wickersham in a forma] statement expressed great pleasure over the decision. Mav Temperature Wall Over Normal. l*fe:v«uH's Load.

To these figures must be added the local debts and expenditures of Scotland snd Ireland. A British paper'says: "ItMs quite wrong to calculate, as statisticians do, how much this vast oppressive sum comes to per head of the population. The weight of it is not spread throughout toe entire people. It falls lightly on some thousands of rich men, and very heavily on a few million hard* ^working bread-winners." For Sleeplessness. A sufferer from insomnia states that she was cured of sleeplessness by the simplest means, that of eating a raw onion sandwich just before going t o bed. Less disagreeable to some people is another sandwich cure which bat been vouched for by an enthueiast.

With 20 big freighters swinging idly behind the breakwater In Buffalo, owing to scarcity of cargoes and a heavy reduction in the number of boats in commission, shipping Interests are taking a pessimistic view of the outlook for the season's business on the great lakes. "Not in more than 50 years has there been such general slackening," said Capt. J. J. H. Brown, today. "Shipments are almost at a standstill at both ends of the lakes and there are 400 boats idle between Buffalo and Duluth. Only half of the total lake vessel capacity is in commission at the present time, and onethird of those boats could take care of the business offered." Charter I t Revoked.

Wykes, who were appointed a commission by Governor Osborn to make a comprehensive Investigation into the tax systems of all the states and report to. the 1913 legislature a plan for revis&g and improving the Michigan tax laws, arrived in Detroit to organize. They went into conference at the P$ntchartrain. The late legislative session authorized the commission. At the conference a general p(lan will be formulated as to how the work will be conducted. Up to this meeting there had not been even an informal exchange of ideas by the three commissioners as to what the improvements in the laws should be. Mr, Wykes, who is the Grand Rapids member of the commission, was given a second appointment of impor-/ tance by^Governor Osborn within5 a week. The second one was clKJuit Judge of Kent county, the legislature at the late session having created an additional Judgeship for Kent.

This is a matter entirely within your control, and should have careful attention from time to time. "On the whole, this report absolutely disproves, so far as hygienicconditions are concerned, the clamor and unfavorable publicity which has been going the rounds of the press and which has agitated the mjnds of good people all over the state, and reduces tbe matter of Just criticism solely to the size of the cells themselves, which are admittedly small, if your calculations and experiments recently undertaken, whereby two cells are made into one, prove to be feasible, this last criticism can also be overcome." x N Peteekey Plana ter W.

Lansing.—Systematic work to reduce the fire hazards throughout the state, Insurance Commissioner C. A. Palmer announces w.H be the principal object of his^jfcew State fire marshal's' bureau.'toAttect lira will also b e given to the Investigation of suspicious fires. The department has an important fire under inrsstigatibn now to ascertain whether it was of incendiary origin, but the department will devote the greater part of its activities to reduction of fire hazards this year. Consultation has been bad with the fire marshal of Indiana who has a most efficient sye|em in operation in the maintenance of which the state expends $52,000 annually, so sucf&ssful has the organization been in improving conditions tending to Jeopardize large property interests. A^i>iant Fire Marshal H. A. Wolff has commenced the work of investigation in a number of cities and, working with the chiefs of tbe fire departments, is directing the removal of buildings which endanger nearby property as well aB ordering improved conditions and clean-ups to accomplish the same object. In addition letters are being sent to fire pfflolals in every community in the state, enclosing a copy of the law and calling their attention to the duties they are required to perform under its provisions. Fire insurance companies are also being notified and the officials of the inspection bureaus named as deputies to assist in the inspection wjbrk of the department. The law pro vides broad authority for the-^departmen't In reducing fire hazards throughout the state and Inspections as soon as" theyr ean be made will determine what steps are necessary to better cpadftfens. \. Mr. Palmer will attend the state firemen's convention in Manistee and discuss the provisions of the new law wJXh the chiefs. H e states that generagr^ ehroughout the state the fire ctflefs are expressing their approval -of the act and assuring him of their enthusiastic co-operation in making, it an efficient remedy that will eliminate*- many features of communities exceedingly dangerous to life and property should a serious blaze get under way. Mr. Palmer realizes that it is a new feature of state activity and he believes that when the merits of the plan are understood the- people generally will aid in bringing about a successful enforcement of the sections.

"Except thejprtce she asks," Interposed the lawyer, dryly. Shaking his head, he went on: "You'll find that a wife's devotion Is a very strong motive power, Jeffries. It will move irresistibly forward in spite of all the barriers you and I can erect to stay its progress. That may sound like a platitude, but it's a fact nevertheless."

Mrs. Jeffries will be delighted If you will dine with us." Alicia smiled graciously. "Do come, Judge; we shall be all alone." The lawyer bent low over her hand as he said good-by. Mr. Jeffries had already reached the door, when he turned again and said: "Are you sure a very libera^ offer wouldn't induce her to drop the name?" The lawyer shook his head doubtfully. v"WeIl, see what you can do," cried the banker. To his Wife he said: "Are you coming, Alicia?" ~" "Just & moment, dear,**~~Bhe replied: "I want to say a word to the judge." "All right," replied the banker. "I'll be outside." He opened the door, and as he did so he turned to the lawyer: "If there are any new developments let me know at once." He left the office and Alicia breathed a sigh of relief. She did not love her husband, but she feared him. He was not only 20 years her senior, but his cold, aristocratic manner intimidated her. Her first impulse had been to tell him everything, but she dare, not. His manner discouraged her. He would begin to ask questions, Questions which she could not answer without seriously incriminating herself. But her conscience would n e t allow her to stand entirely aloof from the tragedy in which •bet husband's scapegrace son was involved. She felt a strange, unaccountable desire to meet.this girl Howard had married. In a quick;, undertone to the lawyer, she said: , *h must see. that, wotcian^ Judge.

For a few moments he sat still plunged in deep thought. Suddenly, he touched a bell. The head clerk entered. "Show Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Jr., in." The clerk looked surprised. Strict orders hitherto had been to show the unwelcome visitor out. He believed that he had not heard aright. "Did you say Mrs. Jeffries, Jr., judge?" "I said Mrs. Jeffries, Jr.," replied the lawyer, grimly. "Very well, judge," said the clerk, as he left the room. Presently there was a timid knock at the door. "Come in!" called out the lawyer. /- CHAPTER XV. Annie entered the presence of the famous lawyer -"pale—and ill at ease. This sudden summons to Judge Brewster's private office was so unexpected that it came like a shock. For days she had haunted the premises, sitting in the outer office for hours at a time exposed to the stare and covert smiles of thoughtless clerks and office boys. Her requests for an Interview had-been met with curt refusals. They either said the judge was out of town or else that he was too busy to be seen. At last, evidently acting upon orders, they flatly refused to even send fn her name, and .she had About abandoned hope when, all at once, a clerk approached her, and addressing her more politely than usual, said that the judge would see her in a few minutes. Her heart gave a'great throb. ' Almost speechless from surprise, she stammered a faint thanks and braced herself for the interview on which'so much depended. For t h e first time since the terrible affair h^ad happened, there was a faint glitirmer or hope ahead. If only she could roth over to the Tombs and tell Howard the joyful news so he might keep up cour-, age! "It w a t eight days now since Howard's arrest, and the-trial would take place in six weeks, There w a s still time to prepare a strotg defense If the judga would only consent >to take the oase, . S h e - w a s more sure tfashrever that a clever lawyer/wou'd have no difficulty in convincing a jury that Howard's alleged "confession" was untrue and improperly obtained. v Itt the- tntervalt o f "waiting t o see the lawyer, t h e had ednttlttd every one she/toewv tad t t t t t t >ether» she had talked with D r . iBernatain, the .noted pejchologUV whom t h e feed s e e s once at Yale; He ^ received her kindly and listened a t t e n t i v e l y ^ her story. When she had finished he had evinced the greatest interest He told h e r t h t t he happened to be the physician called In, on Che night at .the tragedy, and at that time be had grave doubts ag to It being a case, of murder, He believed U wat suicide, and he had told Ctpt. Clinton to, hot the, peHce captain had made up hit nUnd, vend, that wti, the .end of it. Howard's "confesaiojv" he went en, reeyy meant nothing. if oaUed to-the statd he eould show the, iory ^hti a JiypnoUe aubject-oan, be mtde to/ Mei»ftftt|r to atyttar t» the >lnte^ ett of truth, jnttice, tnd.acieece, he said, he would gladly come to her All this ahe wotld toU Judge Brewhim, no doubt. Suddenly, a cold shiver ran through her. How did she know he would* take the case? Perhaps this summons to his office was only to tell her once more that he would have nothing to do wl^h her and her husband. She wondered why he had decided so suddenly to see her and, like a flash, an idea came to her. She had seen Mr. Jeffries, Sr., enter the inner sanctum and, instinctively, Bhe felt that she had something to do with his visit. The banker had come out accompanied by a richly-dressed woman whom she guessed to be his wife. She looked with much interest at Howard's stepmother. She had heard so much about her that it seemed to her that she knew her personally. As Alicia swept proudly by, the eyes of the two women met, and Annie was surprised to see in the banker's wife's face, instead of the cold, haughty stare she expected, a wistful, longing look, as if she would like to stop and tails With her, but dare not. In another instant she was gone, and, obeying a clerk, who beckoned her to follow him, sbe entered Judge Brewster's office. The lawyer looked up as she came in, but did not move from his seat. Gruffly he said: "How long do you intend to keep up this system of—warfare? How long are you going to continue forcing your way Into this office?" "I didn't force my way in," she said, quietly. "I didn't expect to come in. The clerk said you wanted to see me." The lawyer frowned and scrutinized her closely. After a pause, he said: "I want to tell you for the fiftieth time I uan du nothing for you." "Fifty?" she echoed. "Fifty did you say? r :Really, it doesn't seem that much." : Judge Brewster looked at her quick' ly to see if she was laughing at him. Almost peevishly, he said: "For the last time, I repeat I can do nothing for you." "Not the last time, judge," she replied, shaking her head. "I shall come again tomorrow." The lawyer swung around in his chair with indignation. "You will—?" Annie nodded. "Yes, sir," she said, quietly. "You're determined to force your way in here?" exclaimed the lawyer. "Yes, sir." The judge banged the desk with his fist. - "But-I-won^t-aUow-itl—thave^ something to say, you know! I can't permit this to go on. I represent my client, Mr. Howard Jeffries, Sr., and he won't consent to my taking up your husband's case." There was a shade of sarcasm in Annnie's voice as she asked calmly: "Can't you do it without his consent?" The lawyer looked at her grimly. "I can," he blurted out, "but—1 won't." Her eyes flashed at she replied quickly. "Well, you ought to—" The lawyer looked up in amazement. "What do you mean?" he demanded. "It's your duty to do it," she said, quietly. "Your duty to his son, to me, and to Mr. Jeffries himself. Why, he's s o eaten up with his family pride and false principles that he can't see the difference between right and wrong. Yoo're bis lawyer. It's your duty to put him right. It's downright wicked of you to. refuse—you're hurting him. Way,. whejQ I was hunting around for a lawyer' one of them actually^ re fused to take up t5e "case "because he said, old Brewster must think Howard, w a t guilty or he'd,have taken it up himself. You and hie father are putting the whore world against him. and you know it." . , * The Judge was staggered. No one in* his recollection had ever dared to speak to him like that. He was so astonished that he forgot to reeent it, and he bid his confusion by taking put hit handkerchief and mopping his forehead.*" "I do know it," he admitted. , "Then why do .you dp it?" she snapped. The lawyer hesitated, and then he said: "I—that's not the question." Annie leaped quickly forward, and t h e replied: "It-a my question—and as yon say, I've asked it 60 times." The lawyer sat back in his chair and looked at her for a moment without speaking. He surveyed her trit« Ically from head to foot,-and then, a t ' if satisfied with his examination, i a i d : (To 5 « fcOJcmnJBD.) What ft May Ceine To. .

ADMITS PLAN FOR INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT COVERING WORLD TRADE. Declares Sherman Law Fails to Meet Modern Needs and Predicts Radical Change. Elbert H. Gary, chief executive officer Of the U. S. Steel corporation, resuming his testimony before the house "steel trust" investigating committee denounced the Sherman antl? trust law as archaic and declared that governmental control of corporations jeventully would come. Mr. Gary asserted that the steel corporation would welcome such a change and would be glad if the government would go so far as to dictate the prices of steel products. In explanation of the reported rW&rld-wide "trust" Mr. Gray said that a conference would be held in Brussels July 5 and G to organize an international steel institute similar to the American Iron & Steel institute. The latter, he asserted, was formed to prevent demoralization in trade and to permit an exchange of ideas for the betterment of the steel industry. In no Instance, Mr.* Gary said, had there been any attempt at an unlawful combination or an expressed or implied agreement. Mr. Gary said he would do all he could, morally and legally, to further the proposed international institute. Increased prices are to be charged for steel rails in the near future, according to Mr. Gary. Higher cost of labor and raw material, together with a demand for heavier rails were given as the reason for the advance. "I think it is a question of the greatest importance how the peoplo shall be protected from the great or^ ganizations of capital," said Judge Gary. Lorlmer to Be Tried by Colleagues. Senator Lorlmer, of Illinois, faces another investigation at the hands of his colleagues. The inquiry will be conducted by a Bun-committee of tim committee on privileges and eleci tlonj, composed of four Republicans and four Democrats, four of whom voted for the conviction and four for the acquittal of the senator last session. The method selected is regarded as the latest thing In Jury trials. It took seven hours' debate to agree on the system, and it was finally adopted by a vote of 48 to 20, being substituted for the plan urged by Senator La Follette of turning the case over to five senators who were not members when the case was voted on before, and theref6re were supposed to be unbiased. It is understood that the sub-committee on investigation will consist of Senators DilllnKham and Gamble, Republicans, and Fletcher and Johnston,' Democrats; pro-Lorimer, and Senators Ciapp and Kenyon, Repub licans, and Kern and Lea, Democrats, antl-Lorimer. heit nr***** theaeaivtt by U. 8. Better Off Than a Month Ago. The treasury made a much better showing for May than it did for April and its condition as compared with a month ago is materially strengthened. The piling up of gold coin and bullion in the vaults continues steadily. A little more than $1,815,000,000 was there June 1, the high water mark tor the treasury's gold holdings. The government's finances begin a new month's business on the basis of a surplus. It is small—less than $1,000,000—but a surplus Is shown in spite of nearly $3,000,000 spent from the cash drawer for the Panama canal. Under ordinary circumstances a surplus of nearly $5,000,000 would be shown. May's receipts from all sources exceeded $61,000,000 and beat April by a round $10,000,000. Expenditures, however, were held down to about $56,000,000, some $3,000,000 greater than last month. , \ Corporation tax receipts, which will come In this month and promise to exceed the. estimates, wilt*add to the strength of the treasury.

With his sllek short hair, his smile and /his pearl stickpin, he did not look in the least like sn sgent of a great secret body whose arms-stretch mysteriously from the Orient both ways around the bulge of the world, whose men rob, lit, bribe and kill to get their human contraband undiscovered across our border, whose stinking slav* era come sneaking down with doused lights from two oceans on our coasts, a corporation which here, in the United State*-of America, holds hundreds oT men in bondage often little lighter than that of the southern negroes before the war. Yet such are the companies which manage the trade in smuggled Chiness laborer *-* «» «« *h*j*tmm of conspiring to smuggle CMneiriaborere with which a federal grand Jury had charged the harmless looking Dr. Moy. •serst Company at Work. The coat of psssags from Chins to the west coast of Mexico is something like $130, even at the lowest steerage rates, snd to reach Jamaica coats about $80 more. Adding the $450 or $S00 tor the perilous Journey in the schooner snd the still more perilous landing, it costs shout $dS0 to bring a Chinaman into the eastern state*. Now, if any ons of these men who risk their yellow necks to land here had trad anything like $680 saved up at home in China, he could have lived fa luxury all the days of hla lift, and all bis children and grandchildren with him. Then, why do these men want to come to America? '_ " The answer ia simple.

As a matter of fact, it is a very difflcuH thing, as is seen by the shrinking..Chinese colonies of a bun* drsd American cities. A great many more Chinamen die or go home to China every year than manage to slip past the guards. Job by No Means an Easy Ons. The simplest way, evidently, to import s group of coolies is to load them on a vessel and land them at some unexpected spot from which they can be quickly transferred to some crowded "Chinatown" In a city where they will be Indistinguishable from the older.Inhabitants. It is not really so simple as Jt looks. In the first place, the government keeps an eye on the trans-pacific steamers snd ssiures itself of the destination of any constdeuble bands which travel by them. Again, a schoonerload of Chinamen is not likely to set sail from any neighboring port without some one being aware of it who may become informer. It was only a few years ago that the government ottueia ill Boston received sn unsigned posts! card from Newfoundland saying that forty-two Chinamen were watting at Placsntia, a little fishing Tillage on the Newfoundland cosst, to be taken to "the states." A government man was sent hurrying to Newfoundland. He reached Placentla and found that the Chinamen had sailed in the schooner Frolic, of Marblehead, at daybreak that morning. He telegraphed back to Boston, snd the story wss given to the newspapers. Glaring headline* told in every port of the Atlantic coast how the schooner Frolic wss then st sea, searching for a place to land fortytwo Chinamen with pigtails. Cutters cruised off shore from Montauk to Machias, and every coasting schooner and ocean steamer •w>wg th» coaat from Norfolk to Halifax kept a sharp lookout for the smuggler. watchman telephoned the polios, snd the police woks up the treasury men. The two Ohlnsmefejvere axreatad, snd a few minutes &*# a revenue yaad slipped alOBgsld* the anchored schooner, and the men in the government boat read the schooner's name in gilt letters on her slender stem. She was ther-Frolic. She had sailed up Narragansett in broad daylight the dsy before and come to anchor off the coal pocket at ten o'clock In the forenoon. All day she lay at anchor, not far from the channel, in full view from the harbor and the shore. No one had taken the trouble to read hei name and she was passed for a visiting fisherman. Twenty-Four 8afsly Landed. Sixteen more Chinamen were found hidden in the hold. The remaining 24 hsd already made their escape. The state of her bold, where 42 Chinamen had lived for eight days, wss a shock even to the hardened customs men. A fishing craft of less than 100 tons does not have much room below decks, snd at her best tfap mixed odor of fish and bilge water makes It sn undesirable place hi which to lounge awsy an afternoon. The Chinamen slept on the floor, packed solid like apoona in a box, with hardly an Inch of room to turn in. For four days of her voyage the schooner had worked her way through fog, in waters that were frequented both by fishermen and steamers. Any moment a vessel might come a poo her, snd the csptstn did not wish to have his passengers seen upon hla decks. So during those four days ths Chinese hsd stayed shut sp in the hold, With only such light SLd air as found their way down the hatchway. Except for the fog, which kept her s week at sea. and the smell of the passengers, which drove the crew nearly to mutiny, she bad sn easy passage after that, and was not interrupted till the government men captured her off the Providence coal pocket The captain and two of his accomplices were tried and sent to prison. The captain testified that their profits, if the trip bad proved successful, would have been $15,000 over all expenaes, Including $250 apiece to ths crew. Every one of the 18 Chinamen awore in court that he had lived for many years in America, that he had qualified to return under the law, but that ths papers to prove it had been lost In ths "big fire" in San Francisco.

Consider* ed as evidence, the two facts make slender proof, but the sailors along the coast believe that (he Chinamen were thrown over from the schooner and left to drown as negroes were thrown over from slave ships in the old dsya when every vessel that carried "black ivory" was counted as a pirate by ths law of nations.

His hungry soul longed for the old-time victuals like—well, dandelion greens or, bet' tsr still, mustard greens. Mrs. Jennings was tired of tryMg to resurrect for Jennings the nave* of the old home days;- Nothing she did suited Jennings* Jaded appetite. She was Just making up her mind to try partial starvation as s euro when Jennings remarked one evening to a last stand sort of* voice: There'* nothing in this town fit to eat except beans. Now, Mary, if yon could contrive to cook up a pot of beans that would taste like my mother'a I believe I'd qnlt being so homesick for real grub." Mrs. Jennings wss a little startlejf by this announcement She nam cooked beans frequently tn the se%f eral years of her msrried life and nes»» er until this moment bed shssuspeev ed that the method of cooking the* wss below par. #- "How doss your mother cesjfc; beans?" she asked. "Why," readily volunteered nines, "she Just cooks aires* tbey'rs done. That's all. there U.JtO. beans—Just cook 'em enough.'* No amount of questioning could bring out more explicitly the secrets of this toothsome home dish. Mrs. Jennings, however, in a sort of desperation, resolved to make ons* heroic effort Nothing that wss ever. done to beans to make them toothr. some was to be left undoes. , Accordingly she soaked them over night and poured off the water nest morning. |he then put these(ln her: beat pot snd parboiled tbJsm^r^fully drained them through a colander snd set them hack for a long and goqdV boil. v Nothing, sbsolutsly -<«ssy»: uy sw dearly spared.

"What" did^ you do to them?" hs almost moaned. . . ' <<* Mrs. Jennings drew a quick breatkv flushed a little snd in a voice of deeply calm went over minutely the many processes of ths preparation.

Rockyboy and his reds needed the nation's help badly, and between the humorously inclined newspaper correspondent, the Hooeier senator and half a dosen of bis colleagues it came to them at a time when years of disappointment had rendered them pretty nearly hopeless. If Rockyboy hadn't been so poverty stricken he doubtless would have sent the leggings, the beaded moccasin, the antelope shirt and the eagle feather war bonnet of chieftainship to newspaper man and senator as a mark of thankfulness for services rendered. Rockyboy and his following of warriors and women and children had been wandering through Montana for years and never had been able to* get • home. For some reason which history declareth mot Rockyboy and his people were spurned alike by reds and whites. When the hunting and fishing were poor Rockyboy's bands came to the edge of starvation. Bill after bill had been introduced into congress to give relief to these roving reds, but no bill ever came within sight of the passing stage. Finally the name, Rockyboy, struck a newspaper man's %fancy. Possibly he had had the feeling himself. In an idle moment he drew up a mock legislative measure and la it Senator Beverldge figured as Chief Rockyboy, while a dozen or so other senators appeared under various names as members of Rockyboy's band of warriors. The names • either fitted admirably or misfitted just as admirably. Senator Allison of Iowa, who.in no conceivable i : JYJELSO// AWfiiCH circumstances would commit himself by word of mouth, appeared as! Chief Talks-Too-Much. Senator Aldrich of Rhba> Island, who, for reasons which may be perfectly apparent to everybody that knows anything about him, was called in the newspaper man's Rockyhoy relief measure Chief 'Smooth-Medicine. A copy of the skit fell under Senator Bever* ldge's eye. It amused him immensely. He hung it on the wall of his room and showed it to callcm. Finally one day It occurred to him that Rockyboy and his band had done him a service of amusement and he ooactaded that turn about v^wenly fair play, and so he thought he would look into Rockyboy's case and find out how.lt was that for years congress had refused to go to the aid of some of its wards who were at the point of starvation at least six months of the year. The senator apparently thought that it wouldn't hurtttilimemhers of the Rockyboy band to have a fey/*q,uare meals, even though they were not the most deserving reds In the land.

This view that Baker took of the inherent right of a man to work at peddling or anything else without paying for the privilege was not new. It had been advanced occasionally In congress, and frequently elsewhere, by men of a certain bent of mind. Mr. Baker, however, took the last 80 seconds of the minute allotted to him to spring something novel and it was for the finishing of that half-minute speech that certain of the congressmen whose curiosity was piqued are " anxious.

Naturally, after being arraigned for whole* , sale murder in this way, the members were anx- ; lous to know along what lines their guilt lay.

Robert Baker was not re-elected. He was given a position, however, which paid him $4,600 a year. He deliberately resigned from this wellpaying position because he believed that while holding it he could not consistently preach certain of his beliefs concerning the methods of government. Henry M. Ooldfogle, representative in congress from New York city, in a speech In the house gave those of his colleagues whose knowledge of history does not extend to details an Interesting chapter concerning a Jewish patriot" of the revolutionary period who gave up his money to help the government out of financial straits. Mr. Ooldfogle, like the generous one of a past generation, is a Jew,, and he took a proper pride In the deed of the man of his faith. In some respects this "story of the giving of money to the government by Hyman Salomon, the Jewish citizen, is one of the most remarkable which ever, haa been called to the attention of congress. The country does not know much" about It, - It ought to know all about it and it ought to appreciate not only the generosity of the patriot but the ^ctjo^n, of the patriot's descendants who'gave congress one of the biggest surprises it has ever received. Hyman Salomon, like Robert Morris, helped the government out liberally^fben it was In financial straits end when (here seamed little life ellherd that auy of his money wcufd.he returned.

WESTERN CAN AD A BEYOND THE PIONEER STAGE + Llborty-Lovlng Pepple Have Ail the Liberty the Heart Can Desire Under Canadian Laws. She New York Commercial of April 19th contained an interesting article on conditions in Western Canada. Ths following extracts will prove instructive reading to those wno contemplate moving to Canada. The writer, speaks of land at $8 to $18 an acre. As a matter of fact, there is very little land ,that can be had now at less than $18 per acre, but when one considers the productive qualities of this land It Is safe to say that in two years', time there will be little available land to be had at less than $30 an acre. Already the free grant lands in the open prairie districts are becoming exhausted and the homesteader has to go farther back to the partially wooded areas. This Is no drawback, however. Some prefer this land to the open prairie. A recent publication, issued by the Department of the Interior, Ottawa, Canada, and which Is forwarded, free to applicants by mall by any of the ^Canadian government agents throughout the United States, says of the newly-opened districts: Water Is always abundant, wood and fuel are plentiful and the soil that can grow the poplar and the willow as well as the rich grasses that are to be found there can be relied upon to produce all the small varieties of grain with equal success. The New York Commercial article referred to deals more particularly with conditions along the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific, but what Is said of one line of railway may with 4rftth be said of the land and the conditions along both the Canadian Northern and the Canadian Pacific. The article says: "It would be no exaggeration to say that practically all the land along the entire distance traversed by the Grand Trunk Pacific system is capable of furnishing homes to those who engage in farming. The lands are of three classes. They may be designated, first, as having special adapt a t l o n tO th« pmHnf>Hftn nf gra<n; second, as having such adaptation to mixed farmlngr~of which live stock will form an important feature, and third, as being mainly adapted to the production of iive stock only. On the third class of lands the area is not very large, of the second it is much larger and of the first it is by far the largest. "As soon as mixed farming shall be generally adopted, land that'may now be obtained for from $8 to $18 per acre, and even lands open now to free homesteads, will sell for $50 to $100 per acre. This is not an extravagant statement. In natural fertility these lands fully equal those of the American corn belt. In variety of production they excel them, and yet the latter sell for $100 to $200 per acre^ In addition to the Kilqfey 'trojfpliU at* Hpo iserlottt to neglect.y Slight' ailments ate- of tea fone-runners of -dangerous kld.nqy UV ness^and should be treated without delay; J. • L.

With these elements what can^ prevent this region from becoming'"the main source of food supply of the Empire and Imperial dominions?" Special stress Is laid upon the educational conditions. The writer says: "The foundation of the social fabric of the agricultural country may be said to rest on the efficiency of its school system. Liberty-loving people have all the liberty the heart can desire under Canadian laws. In this regard Western Canada has a system of education based upon the best that can be obtained from the United States or Eastern Canada. Its school system and regulations are second to none. Every boy or girl has a school house brought to his or.her doorway. The governmentJs jhost liberal In its' support of higher education.'

Bay city.—Curiosity to know what the • interior of a mine looked like, led to the death from suffocation by the deadly black damp of Frederick Uhlxnan, a wealthy farmer, thirty-three years old, who lived Ave miles west of this city. Uhlmaa some time ago bought the farm on which the Mlcbigan mine, which about three months ago reached the limits of Its coal leases, and was abandoned, Is located. With his hired man, he was looking over th* farm and came to the mine air shaft which slopes into the mice proper. Beth, men went down the air shaft but the farm hand became nervous after proceeding 15 feet and started back, Uhlman saying be waB gofng down further. Traverse City. — Daring a severe electrical storm a large barn and outbuildings on the fami of David Rouscb, five miles south of this dty,' were destroyed by fire, the result of a stroke of lightning. All the Tarm implements in the buildings including wagons, buggies, mowing machines, binder and other machinery were a total loss. Large quantity of "siding were also consumed. The toss is about $2,000, partly insured. This is the third time to eight months Rousn has suffered a similar toss. Th© large barn of George VaadeTlln,* new Roush's. was also struck "by fattening and destroyed "by fire together with all the contents, consisting of Tray and grain. Alpena. — John M.

'.I After a lifetime spent in learning) the business of keeping cows I do not hesitate to say to the young man! reared on a farm: "Farm; and 1¾ you farm, keep stock; and if you keejf stock, keep cows; and i,* you keep cows, keep Jerlsey cows,"^writes H. SJ Chapman in 'the Breeder's^lasette, Of course, I add to this, "If yon keep Jefflejr cows, keep registered Jersey cows. My reasons for maintaining tljat the Jersey cow is superior to all others as a butter cow are as follows: > Her ability to produce butter and cheese economically stands undisputed. Her record in many public tests, Including the Chicago, St. Louie and Portland expositions, has given her the reputation, enviable and indisputable, of being the world's greatest butter cow*, The extra size of the fat giofmles in Jerseys milk renders the butter of superior grain end firmness and more easily separated from the cream. The Jersey cow has the function of assimilation devfilnrpH tn» n gr^atftr degree than any other breed. She is V high-grade specialist as a feeder. She will glve^profltable returns from a ration so rich (concentrated) t: it other cows can not assimilate it. 1. is this ability to stand force-feeding that ha* bWrught the Jersey out ahead in BO many public tests.. This is a merit of the Jersey , that can {profitably be taken advantage oitin a working dairyherd. In the herd In which the raising of stock is the primary consideration I would keep a little closer to nature1, even at the risk of surrendering to some extent the meritorious qualities that artificial conditions have produced. Superiority In numbers makes the Jersey a more practical animal than her rivals. The animal that naturally 1B matched against the Jersey is the Guernsey. The Guernsey has her good points dnd doubtless merits the friends she has won. If you like Guernseys better than Jerseys, that may be a reason why you may succeed better with them. I am frank to admit that my personal preference for Jerseys doubtless has been a factor in my success with Jerseys. But setting aside personal likes and dislikes, it is far easier for the beginner to start with Jerseys, because so many more bulls ^ f that breed are kept than pf Guernseys. Consequently, there is far leas excuse for inbreeding, and the breeder easily can find the bloodlines that he needs in his herd without the expense ot frequently buying a bull. Another point in farorof the Jersey cow is her medium-smal^ site. Experiments have proved that it requires about 2 pounds of balanced ration per day to sustain each 100 pounds of an animal's live weight; the dairy products and gain in live weight are aade from what feed can be assimilated in excess of the sustaining ration, Tfcen if the 90*poand cow witt produce v» much dairy product 1* 1# yean as wiH tbet M0*pouad cow, can we afford to carry this extra 500 pounds of lire weight for a term of 10 years at a ecnvt of 86,500 pounds of feed, just for the •extra WW poundB of poor beef we would have at the end of that time"? Just "Che item of extra cost of barn room for the larger animal for the .10 years would overbalance the' value of the extra amount of bef£ However, if there is such a thing as a practical dual-purpose cow 1$ is to be f^ound in same of the families of large Jerseys. The pbpuiar demand for large cows made tt zveoessary for xne to carry a family of large Jersey* during the last »0 years,. T h i s family of cows weighed trom-t#Q9 t o l^SXXp pounds each, *but In out famlTles or smaller -e^ws-WA_had a' far greater proportion that wouUFmaSe It Tloti&ds of butter per day> and they woul4fa> It oa less ^eed. Lass-bnt not least Is tbtskrlef mlng up of the most salient ex cies of the Jersey, I:fjTace fcer bearnyi famity can for a moment compatO with her. She Is the prettiest cow there U. Her prominent eye. and expressive countenance, together with her alert, dress-parade attitude, win for her the admiration of all lovers of the beautiful. Her oajpabtlities in point'of looks are so great that it really has , to be admitted that in some families beauty has been cultivated at the' expense of other and. moro important characteristics. The Care of Lambs. At eight to ten days of age lambs will begin to cat. At that time a creep should be built which will give them access to a feed box containing grain and a trough with hay. Box, trough and feed should always be kept sweet and clean. A good grain ration for lambs is made as follows: Mix one-third part of ollmeal with one part each of bran, oats and fine cornmeal. Red alfalfa hay or the second cutting of alfalfa hay are the most desirable form of roughage. Of the two alfalfa Is to be much preferred. It is a good idea to keep up the grain feed right along until the lambs are sent to market. By so doing the lambs are kept fat all the time and are ready to be turned Into cash on short notice should the market take a sudden rise. - ^ , . - ^ . ^ - . Mfs^lSa|iEr :-/ !C POfTCM CfJtBAL CO..

EFFORT TO RECOVER TAXES Attorney for the Railroad States That He Would Naturally Appeal the Case to the Supreme Court. LanBlng.—In overruling the demurrer made last week by the Grand Trunk railroad Judge McDonald held that the state of Michigan has a legal right to bring action against the railroad in an effort to recover back taxes amounting to about $2,000,000. AH of the eight reasons contained In the demurrer, prepared by Harrison G«er of Detroit, chief counsel of the Grand Trunk, were overruled by Judge McDonald. The first reason, the one which is regarded as the most substantial, stated that the suit was not begun legally; that such action should be started by a bill of complaint, instead of information and petition. While the court did rule that the case should have been begun as contended by Mr. Geer, he stated that the label on the case had no effect on the subject matter. Attorney Geer stated that he would naturally appeal the case to the supreme court. Memorial Day Px Governor Osborn issued the customary declaration" and Memorial day proclamation. The proclamation in part: "The custom of observing a day once a year for the purpose of especially paying tribute of memory to those who so bravely gave their lives that the nation might live and be a purer and better home for the oppressed of.all lands, is one of the most commendable of our national life. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. "The legions that lie buried in mother earth, very many of them in un- \ marked graves, will never be forgotten. The sacrifice will be forever an inspiration to higher citizenship upon the part of those who live tnrinv and State Farmers Plan Revenge. The Michigan state fair hat been dragged into the Canadian reciprocity issue by the Wolverine farmers who are in, Washington to fight the measure, and it is said that, should a delegation go from Washing ton to Detroit to tight for reciprocity, the farmers of thee state will retaliate by "avoiding the state fair in Detroit next September. President Snyder of the Michigan Agricultural College declares his, doubt of any very strong pro-reciprocity argument from Detroiters. Detroit needs the farmers, the college president Insists, but the farmer can get along without Detroit, as other cities in Michigan can Bupply the farmer's needs. Other members of the farmer delegation take the same view, and they talk of reprisals against the Michigan metropolis if it takes what the farmers believe is a "Belflsh stand for its own supposed gain against the interests of the rural districts." A Buffalo delegation of 100 is at Washington urging reciprocity and the Michigan grangers are raising the cry that the Bisons came at the brewens' instigation. "It's a move to get free barley from Canada," Is the talk. "The brewers want to get cheaper material." N. P. Hull, master of the Michigan Grange, declares he has no knowledge of such a move in Detroit, but the point Is made that Canadian reciprocity will put cereals In the free list. With the liquor interests versus the "drys" drawn into the reciprocity fight the conteBt is admitted here to take on new angles. On the other side of the argument Senator Stone sprung a sensation while the Michigan farmers were before the senate committee, by asking that a subpoena be issued compelling the appearance of the law firm of Alten n&~ <Jraham, of- New "York, and directing it to produce all the anti-reciprocity literature it has printed or written. Mr. Hull declared the firm was employed by the grangers, and a stormy argument ensued. Stone remarked that if nothing was the matter there ought to be no objection to the lawyers coming and Hull said he not only had no objection, but would* have the lawyers come without a subpoena. 1 STATE NEWS IN BRIEF tomorrow, in order that we may so guide the state that it will be-worthy of the hallowed dead who died for i t "Then let us gather throughout all Michigan and strew flowers on land and water In honor of the heroes of the army and navy who are gone, but not forgotten, and let us consecrate ourselves anew to the service of God and our country."

I had a friend pay me a visit from Cumberland, and she advised me to use Cutlcura Remedies which I did. The cure was certainly quick, and I use them to this day. I had it terribly under my knees. I only used one box of pills, but two boxes of Cutlcura Ointment, and I use the Cutlcura Soap all the time. I hope this will benefit others, as it has me, after Dr. and others could do nothing for me." (Signed^Miss Lu Johnson, 1523 Ninth St^,' <N. W., Washington, JD. C, April 3, 1910. " I n a later letter Miss Johnson adds: "The trouble began with an eruption under my knees, and extended upwards toward my waist, until I was / ' not able to sit down. It kept a constant itching and burning all the time, night and day. I went to my doctor, but he could do me no good after I do not know how many medicines he gave me, and then told me I would be compelled to go to a skin specialist, which I positively refused to do. I cried all the time. Finally I made up my mind to try Cutlcura Remedies, and tried Cutlcura Pills, Ointment and Soap, and wat entirely cured of the itching three days after" I started using them. The healing took about eight days. I consider Cutlcura Remedies marvelous, and would recommend them everywhere." ' CuticuraTteTneeUes are sold throughout the world. Send to Potter Drug & Chem.

Two women prominent In St. Louis have started a movement to induce 300,000 of their sex -in the south to pray every day for the rich. They explain they hope by organizing systematically groups of women who win pray often and well for the more affluent, wealthy persons will be led to contribute to a fund for the evangelization of the world. Belle H. Bennett, president of the woman's missionary council of the Methodist Episcopal church south, and Mrs. R, W. McDonnell are the originators of the plan. At All Hours.

"Where are the women?" asked Annie, trying to keep down the lump that rose chokingly in her throat. "They're in a separate part of theprison," replied the keeper. "Isn't jf, drnndfnl'?" s-he_ murmured. "Not at all," he exclaimed cheerfully. "These prisoners fare better in prison than they do outside. I wager some of them are sorry to leave." "But it's dreadful to be cooped up in those little cells, isn't it?" she said. "Not so bad as it looks," he laughed. "They are allowed to come out in the corridor to exercise twice a day for an hour and there is a splendid shower bath they can take." •"Where is my husband's cell?" she whispered, almost dreading to hear the reply. "There it is," he said, pointing to a door. "No. 456." Walking rapidly ahead of her and stopping at one of the cell doors, Jie rappedloudly on the iron grating'and cried > "Jeffries, here's a lady come to see you, Wake up there!" A white, drawn face approached the grating, Annie sprang forward. "Howard!" she sobbed. "Is it you, Annie?" came a weak voice through the bars. "Can't I -go_ in to him?" she asked pleadingly. The keeper shook his head. "No, m'm, you must talk through the bars, but I won't disturb you." He walked away and the husband and wife were left facing each other. The tears were streaming down Annie's cheeks. It was dreadful to be standing there so close and yet not be able to throw her arms around him. Her heart ached as she saw the distress in his wan, pale face. "Why didn't you come before?" he asked. "I could not. They wouldn't let me. Oh, Howard," she gasped. "What a dreadful thing this is! Tell me how you got into such a scrape!" He put his hand to his head as if it hurt him, and she noticed that his eyes looked queer. For a moment the agony of a terrible suspicion crossed her mind. Was it possible that in a moment of drunken recklessness he had shot Underwood? Quickly, almost breathlessly, she whispered to him: "Tell me quickly, 'tis not true, is it? You did not kill Robert Underwood." He shook his bond. "No," he said. "Thank God tor that!" she exclaimed. "But your confession—what does that mean?" "I do not know. They told me I did I t They insisted I did it. He was sure I did it. He told me he knew I did it. He showed me the pistol. He was so Insistent that I thought he was right—that I had done it." In a deep whisper he added earnestly: "But you know I didn't, don't yon?" "Who is h e ? " demanded Annie. "The police captain." "Oh, Capt Clinton told you you did i t ? " Howard nodded.' "Yes, he told me he knew I did it. He kept me standing there six hours, questioning a n d questioning until I was ready to drop. I tried to sit down; he made m e s t a n d ' u p . 1 did not know what I was saying or doing.

Her tears were dried. Her brain was beginning to work rapidly. She already saw a possible line of defense. "I don't know how it all happened," went on Howard. "I don't know any more about it than you do. I left you to go to Underwood's apartment. On the way I foolishly took a drink. When I got there I took more whisky. Before I knew it I was drunk. While talking I fell asleep. Suddenly I heard a woman's voice." "Ah!" interrupted Annie. "You, too, heard a woman's voice. Capt. Clinton said there was a woman in it." Tiroxrghtftrrry, as if to h e rs e If, she added: "We must And that woman." "When I woke up,'/ continued Howard, "it was dark. Groping around for the electric light, I stumbled over something. It was Underwood's dead body. How he(._cjkme by- his death' I have not the slightest idea. I at once realized the dangerous position I was in and I tried to leave the apartment unobserved. Just as I was going, Underwood's man servant arrived and he handed me over to the police. That's the whole story. I've been here since yesterday and I'll be devil* iah glad to get out." "You will get out," she cried. "I'm doing everything possible to get you free. I've been trying to get the best lawyer in the country—Richard Brewster." "Richard Brewster!" exclaimed Howard. "He's my father's lawyer." "I saw your father yesterday afternoon," she said quietly. "You did!" he exclaimed, surprised. "Was he willing to receive you?" "He had to," she replied. "I gave him a piece of my mind." Howard looked at her in mingled amazement and admiration. That she should have dared to confront a m a n ! as proud and obstinate as his father astounded him. 'What did he say?" he asked eagerly. "I asked him to come publicly to your support and to give you legal assistance. He refused, 3aying he could not be placed in a position of condoning such a crime and that your behavior and your marriago had made him wash his hands of you forever." Tears filled Howard's eyes and his mouth quivered. "Then my father believes me guilty of this horrible crime?" he exclaimed. "He insisted that you must be guilty, as you had confessed. He offered, j though, to give you legal assistance, but only on one condition." I "What was that condition?" he de-j s a n d e d . A "That I consent to a divorce," replied Annie quietly. "What did you say?" i "I said I'd consent to anything if it would help you, but when he told me tftat even then he would not come personally to your support I told him we would worry along without his assistance. On that I left him." "You're a brave little woman!" cried Howard. Noticing h e r pale, anxious face, he said: i " Y o u , too> must have •altered." j . "£k» never mind me," »tje rejoined > ejejtafllr. "What we mutt do now la to; f*»MJout of this horrid place and i tf|»|lt name before the world. Wei from you involuntarily, We must And that mysterious woman who came to Underwood's rooms while you lay on the couch asleep. Do you know what my theory is, Howard?" "What?" demanded her husband. "I believe you were hypnotized into making that confession. I've read of such things before. You know tiae* boys in college often hypnotized you. You- told me they made you do all kinds of things against your will. That big brute, Capt. Clinton, simply forced his will on yours." "By Jove—I never thought of that!" he exclaimed. "I know my head ached terribly after he got through alt that questioning. When he-made- melook at that pistol I couldn't resist any more. But how are we going to break through the net which the police have thrown around me?" "By getting the best lawyer we can procure. I shall insist on Judge Brewster taking the case. He declines, but I shall go to his office again this afternoon. He must—" Howard shook his head. "You'll not be able to get Brewster. He would never dare offend my father by taking up my case without his permission. He won't even see you." "We'll see," she said quietly. "He'll see me if I have to sit in his office all day for weeks. I have decided to have Judge Brewster defend you because I believe it would mean acquittal. He will build up a defense that wUl defeat all the lies that the police have concocted. The police have a strong case because of your alleged confession. It will take a strong lawyer to fight them." Earnestly she added: "Howard, If your life is to be saved we must get Judge Brewster." "All right, dear," he replied. "1 can only leave it in your hands. I know that whatever you do will be for the beat. I'll try to be as patient as I can. My only comfort is thinking of you, dear." A heavy step resounded in the corridor. The keeper came up. "Time's up, m'm," he said civilly. Annie thrust her hand through the bars; Howard carried it reverently to his lips. j "Good-by, dear," she said. "Keep up your courage. . You'll know that I am working for your release every moment. I won't leave a stone unturned." "Good-by, darling," he murmured. He looked at her longingly and there were tears in her eyes as she turned away. "I'll be back very soon," she said. A few minutes later they were in the elevator and she passed through the big steel gate once more into the sunlight street. CHAPTER X I V . Outwardly, at least, Judge Brewster's offices at 83 Broadway in no way differed from the offices of ten thousand other lawyers who strive to eke out a difficult living in the most overcrowded of all the professions. They consisted of a modest suite of rooms On the sixth floor. There was a small outer office with a ralled-off inclosure. behind which sat a half dozen stenographers busy copying. >gal documents: aa many men clerks) were writing at desks, tad the walls [ as he thouglit uf tin1 auUimublli' I'UIl1 in the park he would enjoy before dressing and going'to his club for dinner, lie iYlt in singularly good spirits that afternoon', He had just won in the court a very complicated case which meant not only a handsome addition to -his bank account, out a signal triumph over his legal oppon e n t s (Vrtainiy, fortune smiled on him. ' He had no other immediate cases on hand to worry about. He could look forward to a few weeks of absolute rest. He struck a bell on his desk and a clerk entered. Handing him the note he had just written, he said: "Have this sent at once by messenger," - - — "Very well, judge," answered the clerk. "By the by," frowned the lawyer, "has that wortT&n been in to-day?" "Yes—she sat in the outer office all morning, trying to see you. We said you were out of town, but she did not believe It. She sat there till she got tired. She had no idea that you went out by another stairway." "Humph," growled the lawyer; "a nice thing to be besieged in this manner. If she annoys me much longer, I shall send for the police." At that moment another clerk entered the room. "What Is it, Mr. Jones?" demanded the lawyer. "A lady to see you, judge," said the clerk, handing him a card. The lawyer glanced at the bit of pasteboard, and said immediately: "Oh, yes, show her in." The two clerks left the room and Judge Brewster, after a glance In the mirror to re-adjust his cravat, turned to greet his visitor. The door opened and Alicia entered. She was faultlessly gowned, as usual, but her manner was flurried and agitated. Evidently something had happened to upset her, and she had come to make her husband's lawyer the confidant of her troubles. The Judge advanced gallantly and pointed to a chair. "Good morning, my dear Mrs. Jeffries; how do you do?" "Is Mr. Jeffries here?" asked A!1c!.-„ hurriedly. "Not yet," he replied, snVVnr?. "This is an unexpected pleasure. I think it is the first time you have graced my office with your presence." "How quiet it is here!" she exclaimed, looking around nervously. "It is hard to believe this Is the very center of the city." Taking the seat offered to her, she went on: "Oh, judge, we a r e dreadfully worried." (TO BE CONTINUED.) were fitted with shelves filled with ponderous law books. In one corner was a room with glass door marked "Mr. Brewster, Private." Assuredly no casual visitor could guess from the appearance of the place that this was the headquarters of one of the most brilliant legal minds in the country, yet in this very office had been prepared some of the most sensational victories ever recorded in the law courts. Visitors to Judge Brewster's office were not many. A man of such renown was naturally expensive. Few could afford to retain his services, and in fact he was seldom called upon except to act in the interest of wealthy corporations. In these cases, of course, his fees were enormous. He had very few private clients; in fact, he declined much private practice that was offered to him. He had been the legal adviser of Howard Jeffries, Sr., for many years. The two men had known each other in their younger days and practically had won success together—the one in the banking business, the other in the service of the law. An important trust company, of which Mr. Jeffries was president, was constantly involved in all kinds of litigation o: which Judge Brewster had exclusive charge. As the lawyer found this highly remunerative, it was only natural that he had no desire to lose Mr. Jeffries as a client. Secluded in his private office, the judge was busy at his desk, finishing a letter. He folded it up, addressed an envelope, then lit a cigar and looked at the time. It was three o'clock, The day's work was about over and he smiled with satisfaction Could Do Better. The lecture was on the economics of nature and showed that her great destructive poweers were used only to transform the elements into other channels. "To illustrate," said the professor, "there U in one of the Pacific Islands a volcano which has for IS years been pouring molten l*va>oto the ocean over a precipice 400 feet high and eleven miles long. Eggs are boiled In the open sea 22 miles away."

Whether the promise of President Diaz, and Vice President Corral to resign before June 1 came in time to restore peace throughout the country is the most important question under consideration in Mexico. Many of the closest students of Mexican affairs doubt it. Madero and his followers and probably the iusurrectos in the north are' willing to lay down their arms as they have gained by the surrender of the government everything they have been fighting for. But the enlire south is aflame. The states of duerrero,„ Morelos, Chiapas and most of the south are hot heds of revolution. Thousand^ of insurrectos are under arms. These men hate and distrust Madero. They have their own grievance growing out of the oppression of the state governors anil whether they will be willing to subscribe to the peace terms offered by the Dia/. government is a grave question. There is a general feeling in the capital that while peace in the north will be restored within a month it may be necessary for the government to adopt stern measures in the south. The people of the capital are generally apathetic over the situation. For weeks it has been considered that Diaz, would have 'to go, and the passage of the veteran who has done so much for the republic, is not regretted. It is felt that, he has stayed too long and the bitterness over his despotic rule overweighs al? feelings of gratitude.

By ROY NORTON Copyright by I'. L. Nelaon Q.DS, he was called, not be- N cause he was particularly sleepy, but rather as an abbreviation for the only name which he had ever known, his Indian appellation of Nodsawana. Maybe he got the name without christening. When the Nez Perces got H H white boy, they didn't go much on formality. When Sandy Smith first ua^r him, he was about three years old an* was In trouble. He was about as dltyy as any member of the tribe wf^cb. harbored him, and save for occasional light spots, where his skin accidentally broke through the crust, and/save for his top shock of straweolored hair, it would have been rather difficult to recognize him as white. He was standing outside a teepee at a safe distance -where things couldn't be thrown at him—gritting bis teeth, sobbing and kneading hlB eyes with two very dirty, very pudgy fists. Sandy had been on a kind of vacation,* the kind that suited him best. By •tiling some timberland in the Olympics and reinvesting in a mining claim, he stood in a pretty fair way to g4t rich. That is, almost everybody In the district thought so. So he'd been making a little trip over into Idaho. But that hasn't much to do with Nods. Coming back to him—Sandy happened to ride through this camp just at the time when Nods was feeling pretty bad. If the angel Trouble had a job on hand, he must have felt like pulling a gun when Sandy Smith came around; because that was Sandy's weak point. Couldn't bear to see anybody, let alone ta child, In sorrow. ; Seeing Nnds crying, out In front of the, teepee, Sandy pulled up his horse, ewung over into the side of his saddle, and took a look at such an amazing thing as a little white boy in an Indian village a hundred or so miles from anywhere; and, naturally, Nods reclnrocated the attention. The pudgy fists came away about a foot from the tear-stained face and then •topped. The eyes, which looked just like gentian flowers, opened wide, and Mods sired Sandy up for all he was worth. Then, either because he hadn't forgotten white folks or because there was something about Sandy that went to his baby heart, he twitted his faco into a smile that was like a bin burst of sunshine over a rain-swep* meadow. Now all this time Sandy bud been watching him with kind of a paralyzed look. When Nods gave him that smile, be couldn't help giving it back.-Sandy's face, wijh its long, straggling mustache, was one of the set, steady kind that seldom changed; but if any one ever saw him laugh, it was sure to be a surprise. It was so unexpected, and jnade you think there were things in Sandy that you never knew before. Nods saw this, and without delay trudged up alongside the pony and held up both hands. WTanted to be taken up and away from that village; to go to some place with some one who had a kind word instead o£ a kick for him. Sandy fairly fell off his horBe, dropped down on hie knees, and put his big, long arms around Nods, and that's how It began. How Sandy and Nods became acquainted. Nods gave a sigh big enough for a full-grown man, and, soon as he could get room, put his two little arms around Sandy's neck, smuggled his face right up against Sandy's, and held it there. And from that on Sandy could have died for him, It wasn't anything he was uBed to. He had, In his time, loved and been loved by lots of things, but not by a small chap like this Bo Sandy was crying and laughing, when he felt something looking at him, turned round, and saw three or four blanketed bucks. But in all the crowd there wasn't anything white. They didn't look as though they liked Sandy muoh. A powwow brought out the fact that this youngster had been left with an old squaw by a man who claimed to be his daddy. Said be was coming back In a week, but a year had slid off Into the nowhere. The squaw was too eld to do much camp work; but she wasn't too old to think a heap of Nodsawana. And probably about all the kindness the little shaver ever knew In all that year had been from her. The old woman, being not much use, had to subsist off the camp pickings, so there may have been times when both she and Nods went pretty hungry, it was easier for her to stand . abuse, though, than It was far Nods. She was more used to it, having lived teager. M I , The minute Sandy showed signs of wanting Nods, the chief valued him highly. It took a day and a night's trading to get hito, hut Sandy won out. _ kwhnt tbe kind of a fallow that nevtr sjnita. One* or twice he decided bed /*a*J« ttfe difficulty by going to war with tie. whole Nei Percea nation, grab- * M M Nods and riding off, trusting to God and his Winchester to pull him through. . As he V I I getting ready to go and No4ffWaa waiting, Sandy heard a IrinJkJlaV saoaniilg noise.in the tepee feds Mvad, •» W©k a look ins »*^K—MftBkf* over fro wKh front of was Nod's foster-mother. All the time that the trading was going on, no one had paid any attention to her. She didn't count Nods bossed this job, too. He acted as If he had forgotten something besides the bow and arrows, and about three yards of string, which he had already brought out in the way of baggage. He crawled between Sandy's legs, where the latter stood In the dowr of the tepee, put his arms around the old woman's neck, and she made one quick grab and held him close to her breast. Some folks have an Idea squaws aren't like other women when you get clear down below their outer skin. Well, they are. Sandy was up against it again, because he understood how she felt. Then he argued with himself In this fashion: "Although I do know how to care for mules and dogs, I ain't much up on kids. Onc't when I made a shift out of buckskin for a kid, it took me six months. This old dame would be mighty handy. 80 she's In the play. She's goin' to be Nod's little nursery maid, because he likes her; even if she is a hundred and fifty years old." The chief didn't care. It meant one mouth less to feed, and saved somebody from knocking her on the head And she. poor wretch, divided between affection for her tribe, distrust of the white man. and love for Nods, finally gave in to the latter, and went along. Well. In the course of time, they all landed in Canada gulch, and set tied down into the happiest little party you ever saw. Before they came, the only partner Sandy had was a three-legged dog. Before they came, an eight-by-ten shack had been big enough. Now all this was changed. Sandy had the finest cabin on the gulch. The biggest in all the district. Had three rooms and a bip porch, and some store furniture Quit using tin plates and tin cups and tin spoons. Swore off on tin. and got so that real china, a haTMmli thlik, the: To take hina away from me—to take N o d a r The man dJdat really know Sandy, you see, or he wouldn't have broken it so confidently. Most men would have sooner gone against a Kansas cyclone, or a neat of rattlers, or a band of Apaches, than to stir up Sandy Smith. But this feilbw~didn't know him, and, to tell the truth, for once Bandy was taken off his feet. Nobody knows what would have happened next, but just then, around the corner or the cabin, with the dog and Pete following, came Nods, talking to Rebecky. The stranger turned, took a look at the squaw, knew her, and triumphantly waved his hand at her. "I can prove it," he said. "Sbe knows It. I left him with her three years ago- over in Idaho. She'll tell you so. She has to tell you It's the truth." Sandy turned and looked at R»;- becky, and she looked at this stranger. But her face never changed a muscle. They all looked at her quite a while; then Sandy woke up For the first time he was rough with her, He made three quick steps, leaned over and grabbed her so tightly by the arm that she winced, in spite of her Indian blood, and said: "Rebecky, for God's sake, tell me! Did ye ever see this man before?" Everything was quiet for what seemed another long time. The man grinned at her, as if pleased over all the trouble he was making, and she looked him straight in the eyes, and, as she looked, her eyes changed. Instead of having a quiet, contented look, like happy old folk have, they grew narrow and black and sharp and young. Then she turned to Sandy: "Heap He. Never saw this white man before." Without waiting to say real, fine kind they use in restaurants in big cities, wasn't any too good Nods brought an addition into the family, not being satisfied with loaf ing around with the dog and Rebecky. It was a shaggy little burro He called it Pete, although Sandy thought Jane would be more appro priHte. because it. wasn't a "Pete" kind of burro. Sandy, wanting to give Nods an "eddication," used to come In at nigbt and laboriously teach him his A B C's, until the little yellow head would get the droops, and the eyes would lose their velvety brightness. Then any one passing the cabin would see the glow of a pipe, and, if he took the trouble to walk up the path between the swe€t-smelling flowers, he would find a big, lank man sitting on a bench in the darkness of his porch, looking far out over the hills and the lights of other cabins, and either telling stories or holding tight a tired little boy who had gone asleep —very fast asleep. 'Most always at their feet was curled a three-legged, dog, ready to fight for them both if harm offered. If you looked farther, where the lamp shone through the cabin door, you would probably see a bent old Bquaw, squatted on the floor, making something out of beads. When one rs happier than ever before in all his life, and has everything he wants, and all the love he has starved for through all the years, the heelB of Time's moccasins are greased. Then Time is young and travels fast. The fellow who first pictured him as a slow, dragging old man, with a gait like a turtle, and toting a scythe, must have known him only in trouble. That's when he goes slow. Two years, which didn't Reerr more than an hour long, had passed over before Time went slow in Canada gulch, then stopped and made each day a month, each week an age and a lifetime a pack too heavy for the shoulders. Sandy had a piece of pipe to mend, and came up to the cabin, on the point of the hill, when he heard steps. He turned round inquiringly to see a man as big as himself. And he wasn't the sort of man you like. One of those bull-necked, thick-lipped. coarse-looking fellows, who leers Instead of smiles, and brags when he talks. "I've come to get my boy—the one you call Nods," he said. The wrench dropped from Sandy's clay-covered hands. A minute before the birds had sung, the flowers bloomed, and the sun shone. Now the birds were volceleee, the posies without color, and the sun had slipped from eight. It was very still, and all the world was unreal and full of bloom. A blow in Sandy's face would have brought instant response, but this stranger, in a dosen words, had fait full in the heart, to that it almost stopped beating, and. for the first time In all his life, Bandy trembled and was afraid, and couldn't strike back. He looked at the stranger, at the cabin, and then up Into the sky. It didnt seem that God could bo no unkind? This wan something he had newer thought of. He swallowed several ho could g«t speech, then wax. "TOST boyT t An^ywo'^oDsjMlbr >*r bj»r pi* M a ! oc 111 pat it In y*a clear up to the blli" , The stranger ran away, but la this last move Sandy had practically admitted ; MB ;swn defeat. Had practically admftted that he knew the man was within his rights. Otherwise, why Jtehecky's denial, and then her attempt to decide the question at the point of the knife? That was convincing. He turned into the cabin, an old, old man; dropped on his koees over Nods, who was looking at a picturebook, gathered him into his arms..and sobbed in the way a fellow of that kind does when he goes all to pieces —the big, dry, shaky kind, where the heart jumps and jerks, and tries to hammer its way out pt the body. The next day the Bheriff came— alone. He knew Sandy and loved him, and dreaded the trip. He knew that to bring a posBe Would mean a fight in which many men would die. He knew that old Sandy Smith, unless influenced by reason alone, would unflinchingly fight a regiment of officers to hold the thing he loved. But Sandy and the sheriff were friends, so it didn't come to that. "Sandy, old friend," he said, when Sandy bad shut down }he hydraulics roaring mouth. "Sandy, God knows I hate this trip. J'd^ rather not be Eherlff than to have tcXtell you. But you've got to give the boy to his father. The man's g o / the proof and tbe order of court fof his child. You might kill me, or a dozen other better men who come after, but you can't kill the law. You know that! It's the one thing that follows a man in open fight, and is unwhlppable." So it was that the big tamaracks moaned that night, and the flowers around the cabin drooped, while in company with them an old squaw feared. Rebecky understood, and she, too, feared. Perhaps it waan't fear •he felt, but rather the old call of the Indian blood. But, anyway, on tbe morning when Sandy dragged down tbe dusty Winchester from the wall, oiled it up, and filled the chambers, she showed sense. He was just starting from the door with it in the crook of his arm, his eyes fixed toward tbe other gulch, when she stopped him. and said In Indian, which they sometimes used when talking together: "Not that way, brother. ^Jt would do the boy no good, nor bring him back to you and me. Peacepipes and the Great Spirit can make smooth rough trail." He didn't resist when she took the rifle from his hands, and stood quietly thinking, as cartridge after cartridge was ejected by her hand, to rattle, unheeded, on the cabin floor. Sandy finally went down across the gulch and up to the brow of the opposite bill, where he could look on that other cabin. He was hungry for a sight of his boy. On the door-Btep, dirty, unkempt, and dejected, sat little Nods, while at his feet, cowering in fear of something, sat a three* legged dog, which had already found the way across tbe bills. Nod's father didn't seem to like the dog's presence. He was puttering around at something, when Sandy, sprawled on top of the ridge and peering over, first saw him, then he came over to Nods, shook hjm, and when the dog bristled, gave him a kick. The dog wanted to fight, but the mac beat him off to a safe dls tance, while Nods apparently cried Nod's father then slapped him. And the man came pretty near go ing out of the game about that mln ute. On top of the ridge, a long, red haired fellow had shut his teeth. times "PUT THE KNIFE INTO HER, WHY DONT YOU?" more, she stooped over Nods, who had stood curiously looking at all of them, fiercely gathered him into her arms, and trudged through the cabin door. "You see, you're mistaken, stranger," Sandy drawled gently, with a big sigh of relief. "She don't know you. You cain't have the boy." The stranger began to argue, in a peaceable sort of way, and he and 8andy sat down on a log. Then Sandy heard something "slip-slipping" over the grass behind him, and turned round In time to see Rebecky with a hunting knife, about ready to end the stranger's claim on Nods, or anything else in the world. She was all Indian again, and was there to kill. Sandy grabbed her, and, although she was withered, old, bent, and small, and he a giant In strength, tt was about all he could do to bold her off. She fought like a wildcat trying to get at this intruder. Sandy got the knife away from her and turnod to tbe&oen. Tbe fellow sneered, and said: "Put the knife Into her, why don't you? She's notbin' but a lyln' old squaw." That started Bandy to boiling, and h t moved toward bin with that kind of a stealthy, deadly way that pan there have when slipping up on something. Tbe fellow taw be had too far, and bssjaa to back off. t j m m m m t m "N • * * • rz 'Y smtmn, i //> V moaned upon the floor, and a bent, wearied, heart-stricken old man sat on tbe door-step with his fingers clutched through his hair—robbed— desolated and alone. And away over across a ridge, in a dirty little shack, on a worthless claim purchased for a song, a big, coarse mac. brutally cuffed a tired little boy for sobbtng and gloated over a triumph. Nods had gone from Sandy's life. Of course, Sandy and Rebecky knew, within a day or so, where Nods had been taken. There was just one ridge—a low divide—between Canada gulch and Poor Man's gulch, where Nod's father had taken his claim. But it was several days before either Sandy or Rebecky tried to see the boy. In tbe meantime, Sandy didn't work. He was kinder to Rebecky than usual, because he knew bow the old woman suffered. He thought more of her for It, because It was per feetly natural that be should love anything which had loved Nods. He wandered aimlessly around tbe cabin, or out among the flowers, whore Node had dug bolee. He gulped when be picked op tbe little A B C hooka. and whan he was alone, out under tbe big, sympathising trees, bad long talks wttb the Lord, begging him to •bow tbe way no tbe little fatt might patter Into the cabin agate. tkyngwa top»,» n^w turn, - . - - - . *»__. •-«-__ ^m^ WW' square, He seems to ran thing* prat? ty well, after all.

"Daddy Sands," a little voice aeM, 'why don't you take me in yowx arms? 'I do so want your arms!" Sandy, naturally, couldn't kill a m i s and bold Nods at the same time, and when ho grabbed un the hoy, th« pulled a heavy Colt's from his pocket. and was taking very careful aim Things he drew a bead on didn't live long, as a rule. Then he decided the distance WQB too far. Decided something else, also; and that, was that he would go down and kill this brute if it cost him his own life, his hope i of the hereafter, and Nods. Thai boy should never be cuffed again. He world sec to that, he muttered, as be crashed down Into the clearing Tbe man started to say something, but got a good square look Into Sandy's flaming eyes, and decided this wasn't his hour to talk Nods looked up, and with cries of "Daddy Sands? Dear Daddy Sands! 1 knew you'd come. I knew you would find me," rushed frantically over and clasped his arms tightly around Sandy's legs. For once he wae not taken into arms. Tor once there was no reply. Sandy had an errand to perform. Ha wasn't the quiet Sandy of the last two years, but the old Sandy of the Oeronlmo and other border days. He had a mission. And Nod's father read It and. grew white, and lost his defiant grin Tbore in front of him stood Death Just waiting a few minutes to do Its work And It would be done—tbe glint of the white-hot steel shone ID the eyea, and told him to. Tbe Lord mayn't always work tahaga eot the way we like.

Uto brain, S*> weary and so tired for all the) sjsjsjp> less nights since Node had gone, grew clear again, and be saw what a big mistake be was about to make. Sandy finally put Nods down on the ground. When he did so, be saw three black-and-blue welts on the bare skin, where the unbuttoned blouse was open. Well - b e would have a little satisfaction for that, anyway. He made one quick Jump to where the man stood, bis arm shot out with terrific force, and Nod's father fairly flew up into the air. Before he could realize what had happened, Sandy was on him, one hand on his throat and the other battering his face. "I came here to kill you," he rasped between his teeth. "You've been beating Nods. Take this as a promise that I'm coming here now every day, and if ever I find another mark on him, by God, I'll tear your heart out of your body, as sure as my name's Smith!" It seemed there wouldn't be any necessity for a return trip, the way Sandy's arm was working. His blood was boiling again, and the desire to kill so strong that, unless the Lord had Interfered again, It would have ended differently. It must have been, (he Lord who put It Into Nods' father's mouth to say: "Let me go! Let me go! If you want the kid so bad, why don't you buy him?" Sandy's fingers released their hold. liny Nods? Buy Nods? He had never thought of that before. It seemed BO incomprehensible that anybody would offer to sell anything as dear as Nods; that of all the ways he had contemplated in these last weary days, this had been the one way overlooked. Slowly he climbed to his feet, and Nods' father, shrinking and battered, and eow/ed, but hopeful for his craven, worthless life, also arose. Cupidity' was in'the man's every look. He was* reaching the very end for which he came, and for which- alone—he had claimed the boy. This was bla •hance. "Give me your claim," he said, "and I'll deed you all my right, now and forever—to him." \ "It's done!" said Hand? without'a moment's hesitation. His claim, taw. richest in all this land, the thing that could prodiice the gold which would buy a king's ransom, could go HK a ransom for this boy. Gold?, What wan gold? Nothing! As paltry metal, which, though all of it in the world were within his reach rouldn't pay for one clasp of those little arms that again hugged him around his feet, and wore soon after t,rau>f,erred to his sun-tanned throat, They went into the cabin, where Sandy, on a Bheet of paper, wrote: "Know all men, by these here documents that one William Martin does hereby sell to one Smith, known to most folks as Sandy Smith, one white boy named NodRawana. And this here thing calling himself a man— aforesaid, and wfiereas known as Martin takes as full pay number four claim on Canada gulch, and it's agreed by one of the aforesaid named Sandy—that he will kill this man Martin If he ever speaks to or claims this aforesaid boy Nodsawanna again. So help me God. "P. S — This Is also a quitclaim deed to the aforesaid boy. and Just the* same as a bill of sale for a pony or anything else a lawyer might write transferring the boy to 8andy Smith." They signed It. in several places, Sandy wanting to make dead sura, md Martin, who was mighty pleased at the deal, being perfectly willing. There had been a time when a pay* ing claim, a big cabin, a heap of fur* niture, and a field of flowers, would have peemed Just about all in life that Sandy wanted. But the boys 011 the gulch know, and will fell you that all these things were passed up like a pawn and without thought, when '<n the following day Sandy and his 'smily rode away. They got up to that point you can pee on the very brow of the hill, where the trail dips off toward the> sunrise, the morning after. In tho lead was Sandy Smith, holding Node on the pommel of his saddle. Neat came two pack-ponies with an outfit. another pony with old Rfbrcky, and then Pete, on whose back was packed a big basket, tn which a thrse legged dog could ride. Right up on that point they stopped and looked back, moat of ttd hope and believe without regret on the cabin, and the claim, and tbe flowers.

J<&! , ' • / # , T is difficult to imagine America's annual Memorial day without flowers. Indeed, Decoration day, the other name by which this spring commemorative festival is ao. often designated, carries an intimation of how dependent this day of sad memories is upon the bright-eyed blossoms that serve as the most appropriate of all tokens of remembrance. To be sure, flags are also made use of extensively on Memorial day—not only in the ornamentation of dwellings and places of business, but in marking the graves of fallen heroes whom it is desired to honor on this occasion. After all, however, it is flowers which are most extensively relied upon to express the sentiment of the occasion. And in-the broad term "flowers" are included the' flowering plants, the Ivy and other of nature's products that are employed to form the wrea-th*_which are so popular on Memorial day. All told there are infinitely more flowers used on Memorial day than are employed at Easter and yet the general public does not hear so much of the Memorial day "flower trade," nor have its magnitude so conspicuously brought home. The explanation is found, of course, in the circumstance that the Easter flower trade is almost wholly in the hands of the professional florists t i \ m '™%Wn Atsro Memorial day, always Heretofore a serious problem to the public-spirited citizens who have charge of th's work and who could only piead with the people of the community to get their donations oi flowers to the town hall early, hut usually found that their most emphatic appeals were insufficient to get the posies to the rendezvous in time to permit of their proper arrangement in time for the starting of the parade at the scheduled hour. The bringing of flowers to the larger cities on Memorial day has been further simplified by the fact that in many localities special flower trains are operated by the steam railroads and the interurban trol- V' Z^\ Z*T Ifr?• £<* *** -H«»> «y> v .*.* .«<" hi& \ ' * * r&jtffc, ? 4& U **M * * tfitf*#** a m $rt «fi? •<.'/ * / ' i l§fc*^ V MP*3 % & * $ : & '•:W• X\..'W. >i */^&,>\: to whose ^Hjtere'st it is to make their activities occujay as large a place as possible in the public eye. At MemoHal day, on the other hand, the regular flower marts, although they have a "rush_ season" In consequence of the holiday, supply but a fraction of the flowers that are placed on the graves of the nation's warriors. The vast preponderance of the flowers that are used to express the love and gratitude of the people of the republic on the yearly-recurring Memorial day are home-grown posies whose cultivation with a view to such ultimate use is as much a labor of love as is the Btrewing of the "blossoms on the graves. Or, at least the flowers are for the most part garden blooms rather than the frail products of the hot houses. Indeed the selection of May 30 as Memorial day In a large proportion of tbe states of the union was made primarily because it was an occasion when spring was presumed to be In her most attractive garb and when the spring floral harvest is at its height. Similarly- the southern Btates, being assured an abundance of flowers at yet earlier dates, have, as much for this reason as for any other, chosen as Memorial day dates that seemed to mark the culmination of the floral flood in their respective states rather than strict conformity with the date at the end of May, which is «6 universally observed In the "eastern, northern and western states and in the infers northerly of the commonwealths of Dixie. This will explain why certain of the states, notably those of the Gulf of Mexico, observe Memorial day days or weeks in advance of the remainder ot the sisterhood of states. The :KIP of flowers or. Memorial day is varied rind appears to he growing morn so ss time 500¾ on. At flrst suggestion of the occasion the reader is apt to think only of the custom of placing bouquets and wreaths in garlands on the grassy mounds beneath which repose in their last dreamless sleep the boys in blue and gray who gave* up their lives In defense of their flag. But as a matter of fact It is a long-established custom for the American people generally to choose this occasion to place specially elaborate decorations upon the graves of loved ones, even though those whose memory is thus honored had naught to do with the stress and strife, the sacrifices of which MemoHal day is primarily Intended to commemorate. Que of the comparatively new use* of flowers CA Memorial day, which has grown greatly In . ffltfat Jtftxs, is the custom of placing wreaths *)f Jffossjl lagtopns or other similar tribntes upon 41^4MMMl "Which have been erected in the VfJlOlnJMPIteMI cities to our war-time heroes/ '<**• 4VHHBfcJM*r-<«BjHftl, where there are more statues, the pedestals are flags. This, decorapsvkft asd public buildings le. quite aside ate* at tbe graves Another interesting ftoBjcrsj 08 _ Memorial I . S**'.' 3Ers3«s! day is found in the practice of setting afioat huge baskets of miniature ships laden with flowers as a tribute to the American sailors who have given up their lives for the Stars and Stripes. Ihese flowers are quickly borne out of sight by the waves, and mayhap float out to sea, but the sentiment of the occasion is served. As death has year by year remorselessly thiftned 4he- ranks of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Confederate Veterans and other organizations of one-time soldiers there has of necessity been a change in the plan of bearing flowers to the cemeteries and decorating the graves of those who have answered to the call of "taps." The approved plan was to have in each community on the significant day a procession to the cemetery in which the principal participants were little girls dressed in white, each carrying a huge bouquet or basket of flowers and, marching beside or behind these flower bearers, an equal number of veterans, each with a wreath of evergreen or holly, or ivy on his arm. When the procession arrived at the cemetery the participants distributed themselves throughout the burying ground until a little girl with flowers and a veteran with a wreath 'stood beside each grave marked with a tiny American flag. Then at a prearranged signal all the flowers and wreaths were placed simultaneously upon the graves of the comrades whom death has "mustered out." This impressive ceremony, and there could be nothing more appropriate, is yet followed in countless communities, but there have had to be many modifications. For one thing .the graves to be decorated have become much more numerous, whereas the number of surviving Veterans who are able to march to the cemetery with their wreaths has dwindled appreciably. A^olution has hern found, in many places, by drarting for f'is t'!sk mo'cb^rs of tlm SOTS i r "otarnns or nM:"r nr$?anh:3tinm iTV'df1 up of ^JviM-p^ nf old soldiers and also »r»terans of the Spanish- American war, many of whoiri are comparatively young men and who are sufficiently numerous to decorate the graves of their own fallen comrades and also the resting places of the heroes of the earlier wars. Another factor that has operated to influence a change>in the use of flowers on Memorial day is the growth in the size of many of our cities. In towns and small cities it is still practicable for the Decoration day host to march to the cemetery, but in all the larger cities it has become very much of a problem. In many instances cemeteries are so remote from the central part of the city* that it 1s unwise to ask aged veterans to attempt to march and out of the question to allow flower girls of tender years to trudge through the streets for hours at a stretch. Consequently it has become customary under such circumstances to convey the flowers in quantities to the cemeteries and there distribute them to those who are to participate in the decorating program. For this delivery of flowers the modern motor car has proven a most convenient vehicle and in all our large cities on the morning ot Memorial day one jpajf now see. the heavily laden "flower cart" spinning alonjg on their way to the cemeteries. The speedy horseless vehicles) have also provet> ley lines In order to convey the tons of blooms needed for the great memorial ornamentation. And, speaking of the interurban elec-.nc lines it may be adued that these roads new rrvake it popBlble to decorate with flowers the graves of soldiers in many a country cemetery which, under the old conditions, could not readily be reached by members of the organizations of veteranfa and other bodies that aim to see to it that no soldier's grave is unadorned on this significant occasion, Almost every known variety of flowers that bloom in the spring is employed to a frreater or less extent on Decoratldn day, but naturally the wild flowers of the season are especially popular for this purpose. In the sections where the season la sufficiently advanced the ros.es and peonies are great favorites on this occasion arid In the cooler climes violets and the hardy "pinks" are used extensively. In the more southernly states the yellow jasmine and the honeysuckle make admirable Decoration day festoons and at Arlington and other great national cemeteries It seems as though Memorial day has been timed to find the gorgeous purple wistaria at the climax of its glory. The mountain laurel is another floral favorite that lends itself to the purposes of the holiday, but of course It is not obtainable in all sections of the country. In recent years the use of natural flowers on Memorial day has been supplemented by the extensive use of artificial -flowers, particularly in the form of wreaths or designs emblematic of war-time badges or flags. However, the "artf flower designs" of the present day are indeed a revelation as compared with the crude attempts of some years ago. Some of the Decoration day designs are executed In metal, tinted to counterfeit nature, and this form is of course very permanent, but most artistic effects of lasting character are also being obtained by means of fine waxed crepe paper flowers. Such designs are being employed to an increasing extent un» der all circumstances where it is necessary to send Memorial day designs long distances. Howevp*\ tVp Whi^e FOUSP at.

Charges "Unreasonable" Restraint. This is the government's flrst antitrust suit conforming to the supreme court's Standard Oil decision, in that ft alleges "undue" and "unreasonable" restraint of the trade on the consumer and the manufacturere. It is the evident purpose of the plea to confine the charge largely to the feature, small stress being placed on the restraint of trade among true eonspfrators themselves. The government's suit is replete with sensational allegations, and it is asserted that the builders and consumers of lumber the country over are at the mercy of the retailers' organizations in different sections of the Waited States. Those Trust Suits. Tn nine great trust cases and almost as many more smaller prosecutions pending or planned, under the Sherman anti-trust act, the government has had its work almost doubled, it is declared by the ruling of the supreme court in the Standard Oil case that a combination in re- TtraliU or trade to be illegal must be' proved "unreasonable."

Plans for the departure from Juarez to Mexico City of Provisional President Francisco I. Madero, Jr., received a setback when a member of the EI Pas#-revolutionary junta received a telegram from the capital stating that persistent rumors were in circulation there of a plot to assassinate Madero upon his arrival. Beyond this bare statement the message gave no details, but the matter was considered so serious by the insurrecto leaders as to result>jn postponing the trip of Madero unul the reports are disproved or affairs fn the capital are In a more settled condition Every officer on the staff of the provisional president had donated six months salary as a fund for the widows and children of insurrecto soldiers killed during the revolution. High Railway Fare to Stand, Railways operating in Central Passenger association territory—including the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan—are permitted, by an order issued by the interstate commerce commission, to exact higher passenger fares for interstate than for intra-state business where state legislatures orstate commissions have established a two-cent a mile rate until May l, 1912, by which time the railroads are to show why they need such a distinction.

In reply to a query as to the best method of ridding a field infested with the ^Injurious litlile Hessian fly the Walusx-es' Farmer makes the following reply: The Hessian fly iteverely damaged much whiter wheat late last fall, but the pest is not yet done with its evil work. These brown objects which our correspondent wrongfully calls eggs will turn into little black flies about one-tenth of an Inch long, resembling small mosquitoes. They will lay more eggs on the wheat, and the maggots which come out of these eggs will, by burrowing into the straw, cause further damage. They weaken the straw and cause it to fall over. What can we do with a field infested with Hessian fly? If the infestation is slight, and but few of the plants are killed, we would let the ground stay in wheat, trusting that the wheat will stool out sufficiently Iron Rods Arranged- to Strengthen Downward and Side Movements to Prevent Accidents.

Hessian Fly (Much Enlarged.) to make a good stand, and that the weather and parasitic enemies will reduce the number of flies and maggots of the next brood. If the damage is heavy, however, and practically all the plants are infested and half -or two-thirds of them are jdlied, we would probably plow up the crop and plant to oats or any crop other than wheat. Dry weather is unfavorable to the development of the little brown objects called flaxseeds, which later develop into flies. It may be, therefore, if the spring continues dry, there will not. be much harm from the spring brood oi maggots. In moBt cases of very heavy infestation of wheat by the fly, and where it is desired to get the ground down to clover, we would be inclined to disk at the earliest possible moment, and seed to oats and clover. If our correspondent seeds to wheat again in the fall he would very likely be troubled again with Hessian fly unless he plowed the stubble under or burned It off Immediately after taking off the present wheat crop. Even then he might he. troubled w ith fliescoming In from adjacent fields. To prevent Hessian fly damage, rotate crops. Hessian fly does not hurt any small' grain to any extent except wheat.

H, M A S O N . ) - The shortage in the French potato crop has created a deficit which Is being :filled by large importations from other European countries, notably Great Britain, Austria, Germany and Belgium. Importations of potatoes from the United States to France had been prohibited -since the decree of 1875, which was inspired by fear of the Colorado potato bug, until that decree was annulled <on -October 15, 1910, opening the French markets to potatoes from the United States, provided they are clean, free from the soil in which tbqy wei® ^grown, and the packages In wiitch they are shipped contain no stems or leaves :of the potato plant. As A result of this long prohibition American potatoes are practically unknown in France, and French importer* have no acquaintance or established relations with American exporters which would enable the trade to be promptly taken up since the withdrawal of the prohibitory decree. Partly for this reason, and partly because many French people have still a lingering dread of some possible disease in American potatoes and do not even know that the prohibition against them has been withdrawn, they have not yet appeared in any appreciable quantity on the Paris market. • f a T y * ^ ^ : ? - * . ^ 'V'"/-,,/,.// >*.f. v . « i - <:% Crop flotation. Crop rotation, in which the legumes, such as cow peas, soy beans, vetch and the clovers, hare a prominent place, will buildup the soil aad place an unprofitable farm upon a paying basis. Plan a rotation that will imprest thw- fcrtlHty of the toil, aad i t the same time keep up the income' from the f i r a j i i l i li progressive a * Plowing takes more time than any ofher farm operation. Remember frequent salting of the cattle in the back pasture. Harrow as you plow, and .keep harrowing after the grain is up. Don't neglect to plant sweet corn at least three times—six is better. Give the late-sown grain a formaldehyde bath, and raise better bushels and more of them. Clover seed Is one of the most profitable crops the farmer can grow If his land is suitable for clover. Potatoes should never be planted on low, moist land, as the potatoes are sure to be soggy when cooked. If you want nice winter beets, plant early beet seed in July and the roots will mature before cold weather comes. Dry, gravelly soil will produce wellflavored, thin-skinned, floury potatoes, and a rich clay loam the largest yield. Cabbage does not begin to "head up" until cool weather comes, and early plants do pot make as fine heads as those set later. Cabbage needs Cultivating very often during the summer. ThiB causes it to put out broad leaves, which will' bring big heads in the fall. Most people set out their late cabbage plants too early in the season. About the Fourth of July is a goofl time and early enough. Plant radishes a few at a time and often-, say about five days apart. Thte will give a succession all summer. Radishes are good for the stomach. When you plant canteloupes sow a bit of radish or turnip seed in the hill. These will come up first and keep the bugs busy till the vines get a start.

I had about $400 in caBh, team of horses, a cow, a few sheep and some chickens. I took up a quarter section of land near Jack Fish Lake, Meota P.

My children have raised from $300 to $500 worth of garden truck each year since we have been irere. I have never had a poor crop fcnd have never had one frosted.

Norman Drue© stepped iiito the first taxi he spied as he made his exit from !the theater. The musical comedy had ibeon good and Druce stretched out his (long legs contentedly as the cab wheeled him homeward. He looked down at his well shod feet which \caught the remnants of light from [brilliant Broadway. Something more brilliant than his shoes sparkled in the lights that sifted through the cab window. Druce stooped to pick it up. lit was a wedding, ring. "By jove!" muttered Druce to himiself. "Some fair) damsel Is in tears by this time^-lost her wedding ring I Humph! She has a good big .hand [who ever she is—why, this fits my litftle. finger." Druce leaned forward into the light and examined the ring. It was a very (broad band of gold. "There is a lot of writing Inside, but ,this beastly light—I can't make out a (letter." After several turnings and jtwistlnga of the ring Druce gave up jthe attempt to decipher the • inscription. He leaned back again, slipped the {ring into his vest pocket and gave (himself up to a vision of Daphne jVenne, the star of the musical comedy to which he had just listened. Norman Druce had realized when the jatar flrat floated out upon the stage jthat she had createa~gfeat Tfavbc In Ihis brain and heart. Through the {performance he counted each moment Host when she was not on the stage. ; For the first time, Druce had a (strong desire to Join the ranks of 'stage-door Johnnies; bis better reason, however, prevented his going further than to send an exquisite bunch of lilies of the valley which Daphne JVenne wore in the third act. Druce was not a man given to sUdjden infatuations, but he could not 'deny the suddenness of this situation. !The glorious -fed gold hair which fell to her waist and the big, affectionate gray eyes, the fascination of the smile of the actress had all swung their make Inquiry regarding the girl's present address. Druce was given an address which was not far from his own apartments. When he had finished dinner Druce went in Bearch of the couple who had lost the ring. Upon inquiry, the hall boy told him that Mr. and Mrs. Venne were at the theater every night. For the first time the significance of the name appealed to Druce. Daphne Venne! That was the'name of the girl in the play—the girl who had stolen his heart. And she was married; her full name must be Mary Daphne Venne. Druce had not the heart to make fuYther inquiry but promptly hailed a taxi and gave the name of the theater. He again thought of Daphne Venne and the beauty of her eyes and the exqulsiteness of her dancing, her singing and the charm of her smile, yet now it was as the wife of another that he thought of her. "Strange that she wore my flowers," thought Druce as he made his way to. the stage box. Toward the end of the performance Druce sent a note to the star. In it h e mentioned the fact that he w a s l n possession of a wedding ring he had found. Druce knew that if the ring was hers no other information w a s necessary. ' He received^n answer immediately. Miffs Venne would be pleased to Bee him after the perfromance. An usher would take him to her dressing room. When the curtain had rung down and Norman Druce found himself following an usher to the star's dressingroom, an irritating excitement possessed him. Dozens of chorus girls brushed laughingly past him, but he was unconscious of their glances. Outside the door, Druce had to wait a moment. When it opened and Daphne Venne stood before him in a simple clingy little gown of golden brown and her beautiful face free from make-up, Druce expected his heart to stop beating—she was so pure and flWPPt pnfl wn"Horfni in her simple Chorus Girls Brushed Laughingly Past Him. magic Into his heart. With#no reason whatever for the feeling, Druce had been conscious of a personal pride at the tremendous applause of her audience. It was not until he reached in his waistcoat pocket for change with which to pay the chauffeur that Druce remembered the wedding ring that he had found. He was about to give It to the iman when he decided that it wolfed be much better in his own care. In/the light of his apartment, Druce examined the Inscription within the ring. He matfsr it out easily. "'Mary and John, 1909, Church Around the Corner.' Well, of all the idiotic things to put in a ring!" expostulated Druce. "John and Mary! Craa Scott!

At three o'clock the next day Druce arrived at the church. Luckily, the curate was entering the church when Norman Druce sought admittance and permission to examine the records of marriage. He -.•as soon scanning a list of marriages contracted in nineteen-bundretf- *tj&«lne.

"You are Mr. Druce?" she questioned, as she held open the door for him to enter. For answer and partly because it was difficult to speak, Druce held out the wedding ring, She took it eagerly. "Oh, how good of you to bring it to me—how in the world did you ever find out to whom it belonged?" "I went to the church and looked up all the Marys and Johns who had ever married," Druce laughed. Daphne Venne joined him and her oyeB looked squarely Into his. "It was very, very good of you and I thank you. Mr. Venne will be even more delighted than I am—he was very much upset about the loss." "I assure you—I can't blame him." Try as he might Druce could not help the admiration in his eyes. Daphne Venne colored beneath it. There seemed to be nothing more to say and Druce turned as if he would go. "You won't mind, Mrs. Venne, lf~ I send you a floral tribute now and again—lilies of the valley—they added a charming touch to your costume last night. I am an admirer of your work." "It was you who sent me those beauties last night? I thank you very much—look!" She pointed to her dressing table and Druce saw his flowers. "I love to smell them while dressing," Daphne Venne said. "I must go." Norman Druce held out his hand and she slipped hers into It. "Wouldn't you like to meet my brother? He can thank you hlmBelf for having restored his wedding ring—" "Your brother!" Druce turned qnickly and caught the dawn of a smile in Daphne's eyes. "Yes—he often brings me to t h e theater—so I won't get lost." She smiled whimsically. "It was no doubt then that he dropped MB ring. My sister-in-law, Mary Daphne Venne, believes in the foreign custom of a man wearing a ring, also." "But your name—Daphne Venne?"

In his native town Jimmy had always been most popular with young and old, but when he was sent away to boarding school, he was for a time too homesick to make friends. His first letter was little more than a wail. "I'm way behind the other boys In everything," he wrote, dolefully. " 'Tisn't only studies, but it's gymnasium and banjos and everything. I don't believe they'll ever have much use for me." But the second letter, written after a week in the new school, was quite different In tone. "I'm all right," he wrote to his mother. "The boys say they'll teach me all they know, for they're proud to have me here.

The Eskimo came into possession of a piece of wire of considerable length and never having seen wire before he asked Professor McMillan of the Peary north pole expedition what it was and what It was for. He was told that the white man strung it on poles stuck in the ground and a voice talking to an instrument at one end could be heard at the other end.

His face expressed his embarrassment as he hoarsely whispered: "I guess I haven't a c^nt, I changed my pants."

Is It possible to nourish, strengthen and Rebuild the Brain by Food? Every man who thinks uses up part of the brain each day. Why don't it all disappear and leave an empty skull in say a month of brain work? Because the man rebuilds each day. , If he builds a' little leas than he destroys, brain fag and nervous prostration result sure. K ho b;:?l<".:;. back a little more ca: h (:ay,"7h"e" br:i;:: gro-'V;; ntlinger una more capable. Tha: also iu bwre. Where does man get the material to rebuild his brain? Is it from air, sky or the ice of the Arctic sea? When you come to think about it, the rebuilding material must be in the food and drink. ' That also is sure. Are the brain rebuilding materials found in all food? In a good variety but not in suitable proportion in all. To illustrate: we know bones are made largely of lime and magnesia taken from food; therefore to make healthy bone structure we must have food containing these things. We would hardly feed only sugar and fat to make healthy bone structure in a growing child. Likewise if we would feed in a skillful manner to insure getting what the brain requires for strength and rebuilding, we must first know what the brain is composed of and then select some article or articles (there are more than one) that contain these elements. Analysis of braid by an unquestionable authority. Geoghegan, shows of Mineral Salts, Phosphoric Add and Potash combined (Phosphate of Potash) 2.91 per cent of the total, 6.33 of all mineral Salts. This is over one-half. Beaunis, another authority, shows "Phosphoric Acid combined" and Potash 73.44 per cent from a total of 101.07. Considerable more than, one-half of Phosphate of Potash. Analysis of Grape-Nuts and Phosphorus (which phate of Potash) is conslderabl one-half of all the Dr. Geo. W. Carey, an authority on tin constituent oleirenUi of the body, rays: "The gray jpatter of the .brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phoo phate (Phosphate of Potasb). This salt nnit, with albumen and by the addition oT oxygen creates nerve fluid or the gray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium'' Phosphate is the chief factor and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life." Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter" is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form, exactly as nature furnishes itr in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure." The natural conclusion is that if Phosphate of Potash is the needed mineral element in brain and you use food which does not contain it, you have brain fag because its daily loss Is not supplied. On the contrary, if you eat food known to be rich in this clement, you place before the life forces that which nature demands for brain-building. Mind does not work well on a brain that is broken down by lack of nourishment. ' A peaceful and evenly poised mind is necessary to good digestion. Worry, anxiety, fear, hate, etc., etc., directly interfere with or stop the flow of Ptyalln, the digestive juice of the mouth, and also Interfere with the flow of the digestive juices of stomach and pancreas. Therefore, the mental state of the individual has much to do (more than suspected) with digestion. Brain is made of Phosphate of Potash as t V rr ncipal Mineral Salt, added,, to albumen d water. Grape-Nuts contain that element as more than one-half of all Its mineral salts. A healthy brain is Important, if one would "do things" in this world. A man who sneers at "Mind" sneers at the best and least understood part of himselfv That part which some folks believe links us to the Infinite. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has denned a way to make a healthy brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the* previous day. Nature's way to rebuild is by the use of food which supplies the things required. Brain rebuilding material is certainly found in Grape-Nuts «• re's a Reason" Postum Cereal Company, Licit Battle Creek, Mich. ! - ' • ; &"t • ^ ^ •£& ''••+* ^ . , v*J "\i/ • . * s ^4»i^-«ir*' k !.&* • .

H. Fisher. The piggery, of which a ground floor plan Is shown herewith, is the latest acquisition at The Cedars looking to the comfort of the animals and their attendant, writes W. H. Fisher jot—Franklla—county,—Qhio,-- -in the Breeders' Gazette. The building runs north and south, so that the sun shines into each compartment at some hour of the day. The dimensions are !48 feet 10 inches by 21 feet four Inches and the studding Is 14 feet. A glance at the floor plan shows that there are four pens 8 by 8 feet and four 8 by 12 feet, with a tilting window and sliding door 2 by 4 feet in eachf A hanging door above and in front of each trough makes it possible to feed from the passageway and also to keep animals out of the trough Until the feed is placed therei n / On the hardwood sills, which are 2 by 8 Inches, bolted every 6 feet to the concrete foundation, rests a brick wall 40 Inches high laid in cement mortar, Inside of (not between) the studding, forming an air space of 4 innhcu (tnicuness of studding) between the wall and the siding. This wall is covered with cement mortar and joins the concrete floor, which is curved up to cover and protect the sills, making It possible by the use of hot water and-steam to maintain the highest sanitary conditions. The drainage of each pen is toward the sliding door. Partitions are 4 feet high and those between pens as well as all outside fences are of electric-welded fencing, stapled to hardwood railings, which in the yards are bolted to extra hea/tfy cedar posts capped with galvanized iron and all given two coats of paint. .'This piggery, which was designed especially for winter comfort, is selfcontained. A 200-barrel cistern underneath takes the water from three down spouts on the east side, not shown, a force pump puts the water either into the slop casks, each holding 100 gallons, into a tank upstairs, or into the boiler, as may be desired. Feed is drawn through chutes from bins upstairs and there is yet room for a winter's supply of straw, clover, alfalfa and oat-pea hay, which is put down* through hatches at either end of the passageway. These hatches are provided with stairs which swing up and hook under the celling when not in use. The boiler, which holds but 17 gallons of water, makes steam rapidly and will thoroughly cook the 200 gallons of feed in 30 minutes, besides heating water in the tank upstairs for houseoleaning and for washing pigs preparatory to shipment. Breakfast for the poultry is also cooked by steam and we utilize the boiler at' butchering time and for cooking the dormarit spray solution for our orchards. With this small amount of artificial heat the piggery is sufficiently warm to enable the sows to farrow whenever the spirit moves them, and we know that no ears, tails or lives will be sacrificed to Jack Frost. Each pen contains a sleeping floor, so that no animal need lie on the cement flopr pxfppt from choice. T*he sllding doors a r e operated by sash cord over pulleys from the passageway. The slop casks are elevated 15 inches so that feed is drawn into buckets through large molasses gateB. The expense complete, including allowance for our own time at 20 cents per hour and the same for teams, was a trifle over $1,200.

I fT*Y A T T.irfih ^ i In the summer season when the animals are allowed the range of the pasture they can, In a measure at least, balance their own rations. Some feeders aim at a maintenance ration only during the winter season and depend for a profit during the summer. Others feed for growth or production during the winter. In the maintenance ration there is no profit or no gain during the winter and the feed is consumed In keeping the animal alive. If a feed Is used that contains an excess of carbonaceous matter the excess practically is wasted. Upon the other hand if an excess of protein is contained in the feed thlB excess is wasted. Generally speaking the feeds produced on the farm contain an excess of carbonaceous matter and it becomes necessary to use some of the concentrates to balance. Corn has a nutritive ratio of 1 to 9, wheat and oats have a nutritive ratio of near 1 to 6, buckwheat has a nutritive ratio of 1 to 7. A well balanced ration for a horse is near 1 to 8, for milch cows 1 to 5, for a hog 1 to 5. Then the ash or mineral contents of a feed Bhould have some consideration. An animal must have some mineral matter in its ration in order to grow and maintain a strong frame-work. Corn is very deficient In mineral matter. Digester tankage is very rich in both protein and mineral matter and it is one of our best materials for balancing a hog ration. Wheat bran, cotton seed meal and oil meal, all are much richer in both protein and mineral matter than the whole grain. The protein and mineral matter contained in them make these feed stuffs valuable for both milch cows and* young gfowing animals.

"Yes, sir," says the man with the determined air, "I heard my boy using slang last week, and 1 soon put a stop to it." "Children are apt to pick up slang expressions very readily," soothingly says the man with the benignant look. "Well, I didn't bother about investigating fls to whore he got on to such a line of talk.

Apropus of a beautiful young wife, worth $40,000,000, who had just divorced her penniless husband in order to marry again, Henry E. Dixey, the comedian, said at a dinner In New York: "The young man who marries for money has none too easy a time of it. His rich wife is likely to tire of him and throw him out in a few years, or else she is likely to limit his allowance to 25 or 50 cents a day. " 'I married money,' a man once said to me. " 'Wasn't there a woman attached to it?' I asked. " 'Yes, you bet there was,' he exploded. 'So much attached to it that she never parted with a penny.'

My wife considers me careless, a,b» sentmtnded and generally untrustworthy. fine never gives me a letter to post without Insisting upon tying a string around my finger and a knot In my handkerchief just as If I were a little boy. She objects to my having more than fifty cents In my pocket at one time because she declares I never Btop ufter buying a cigar to receive my change, and half the time car conductors return me fen or fifteen cents short change. My wife recently went to the country, leaving cards stuck up all over the house bearing such miserable injunction* as this: "Take the silver upstairs at night" "Lock the front door." "Count your change." Of course-1 tore them down as soon as she had left When I parted from her at the station she told me that she had left her jewel case in her bureau drawer and made me promise that I would go straight home and put it in the safe. Instead I went to my office Intending to go home at noon and attend to the matter. It was three days before I removed that jewel case. Before doing so I examined the contents to make sure the articles were all present, and found that a valuable diamond ring always kept there was missing. It behooved me to recover that ring before my wife's return or take the consequences, the nature of which I was quite aware. Fortunately the owner was to remain away several weeks. I advertised a large reward for the ring and no questions asked. A couple of weeks passed and nothing was heard of the ring. I meditated having a duplicate made with paste diamonds. But I had no pattern for a workman to copy and had lhtle hope of deceiving my wife if I bad. She wrote me frequently asking if I did this and I did that and if everything was safe. I replied that I did everything she commanded and a great deal more. When-sfae asked If I had put her jewel case in the safe I said I had—but not when. Lastly when she asked if all the jewels were there, I wrote, "Your jewels are safe^' meaning that they were in the safe.

A week befosn my wife returned I absented myself from my office, giving my time entirely to hunting the pawnshops to which everybody knows stolen articles usually And their way. Near the end of that period I found the ring. 1 proved my ownership, or, rather, my wife's ownership, and secured the property. Then I asked the proprietor bow he came by it. He told me that it had been brought to him by a woman who acted as a gobetween for persons who wished to pawn articles, but were too respectable to be seen 'entering a pawnshop. He gave me the address of this broker, and I went to see her. "That ring was stolen," I said to her, "but I don't suppose you knew this whep you pawned it. If you Will tell me who brought it to you I'll make no trouble about your receiving stolen property." She said that she couldn't leave her shop at the time, there being no one to take her place, but if I would call the next afternoon she would take me to the thief. I took the ring home and put it in Its place, glad enough to escape the obloquy that would have been heaped upon me for my forgetfulness. That night my wife returned and found the house in good condition and nothing missing. I felt very fine over this, assuming some superiority by telling her that for her to leave out the Jewel case just before going away was simply shocking, i f I hadn't hurried home to take care of it something might have been lost. She made no reply, and I was glad she didn't, for it would have been a catalogue of my own past offenses. The next afternoon I left the office early and called on the woman broker who was to show me the thief. She was ready for me, and we sallied forth together. The route we took led my way, which was, to say the least, convenient She finally turned into the street In which I lived, moving in the direction of my home. What was my astonishment when she stopped at my own door? "All right," I said, trying to conceal my feelings. "Now describe the thief." She described my own wife. It was now a clear case that the jewel was«aot in the case at the time of my wife's departure. Being curious to know why she had pawned it, I wlghed to speak to her about the matter, but if I did so I would criminate myself in the matter of neglect I waited till we were together one evening in her room before dinner and the Jewel case was on her dresser. I looked over the contents and asked: "My dear, I don't see your double diamond ring here." Then she confessed that she bad pawned it to get a scapegrace brother of hers out of a scrape. I looked very serious. "I discovered the loss when I put your case in the safe," I said. "I have recovered i t Here it is.* I banded It to her and told her how I supposed it-had been stolen and found it in a pawnshop.

The old -Saying that there 1B no loss 'Without MOM gain 1» borne out by the change which has been wrought In the c o t m ^ * ^ snipping. There has been a u t & leiqeSit over the decadence *>t the famous Yankee seamanship, •but after the passing of the clipper «nd] whaling fleets at laBt has come to the high seas a new breed of American* who. are the equals If not the superiors of the old. The mechanical . genius of the nation has sent many young men to the steamships of the .navy and the merchant marine, mays the Cleveland Leader. Ninety per cent, of the sailor-mechanics of the United States navy are American born. Twenty years ago, the proportion of Americans on merchant vessels was only about 30 per cent.. In [1910 the proportion was 49 per cent., the natives heavily predominating ever the naturalized. The showing Ifcr this year will be even better, as the movement of Americans to the sea has been steadily increasing for several years. In many ways the mariners of the new Bchool are better than the old shellbacks that heaved a t the cap'stan bar and lay out on the end of the yardarm. The demands of steam and electrical machinery require a different kind of skill and more intelligence.

W a r n e r , Dr. Snyder and Others Spoke Agains'i Reciprocity. science makes it necessary for them to keep mentally freBh and alert. They know'-more and are more progressive than the old-time sailor and In their habits they are cleaner. A strong movement is to be started In England to limit the reading of trashy novels, which are perverting the emotions and lowering the thought of the youth. Some of the most influential men in England have Joined the movement. As a general thing, parents do not realize the harm the Indiscriminate reading of novels is doing their children. The constant reading of novels, even of good ones, weakens the mind. It has about the camo effect on the mind that lunuglng in a hammock or floating down stream has on the muBcles. The mind, to appreciate truth, has to deal with truth, and encounter and overcome obstacles that are in its way. Lacking this exercise it grows weak and flabby. The parent might as well, from the very start, give' up his child, so far as worth and>floble destiny in this world is concerned, who is a constant reader of novels. The Michigan state fair has been dragged into the Canadian reciprocity issue by the Wolverine farmers who are in Washington to fight the measure, and it it said that, should a delegation come from Detroit to tight for reciprocity, the farmers of the state will retaliate by avoiding the state fair in Detroit next September. President Snyder of the Michigan Agricultural college declares his doubt of any very strong pro-reciprocity argument from Detroiters. Detroit needs the farmers, the college president insists, but the farmer can get along without Detroit, as other cities in Michigan can supply the farmer's needs. Other members of the farmer delegation take the same view, and they talk of reprisals against the Michigan metropolis if it takes what the farmers believe is a "selfish stand for its own supposed gain against the interests of the rural districts.' A Buffalo delegation of 100 is in Washington urging reciprocity and the Michigan grangers are raising the cry that the Bisons came at the brewers' instigation. "It's a move to get free barley from Canada," is the talk. "The brewers want to get cheaper material." N. P. Hull, master of the Michigan Grange, declares he has no knowledge of such a move in Detroit, but the point is made that Canadian reciprocity will put cereals in the free list. With the liquor interests versus the "drys" drawn into the reciprocity ftgtr-ffte contest is admitted h*re to take on new angles, On the 'other side of the argument Senator Stone sprung a sensation while the Michigan farmers were before the senate committee, by asking A variation of the Enoch Arden story comes from a fJew York town, where ;a man who had deserted Jiis wife had the uncomfortable experience of having her unexpectedly walk In on him and have him arrested. If this variation could only replace the original practice, It would be* much better for the community in general and have the effect of reducing the number of these wanderers from their own firesides, who have formed a distinct class of public nuisances. A Michigan lawyer has found a new way to break'a will. One of his clients spoke his will into the trumpet of a phonograph and had the record put away. His lawyer, by dropping the record, smashed it into a thousand pieces. It seems to be impossible to make a will that some lawyer can't break, somehow. thai a subpuuu, be inuued compelling the appearance of the law firm of Allen. & Graham of New York, anA directing it to produce all the anti-reciprocity literature it has printed or written. Mr. Hull declared the firm was employed by the grangers, and a stormy argument ensued. Stone remarked that if nothing was the matter there ought to be no objection to the lawyers coming and Hull said he not only had no objection, but would have the lawyers come without a subpena. Editor Waterbury of the Michigan Farmers said the farmer never has had the, real benefit of protection because production exceeded demand, but the time is near when this condition will cease and the farmer can get higher prices unless reciprocity prevents. M. J. Lawrence, publisher of the Michigan Farmer, ex-Gov. Warner, Dr. Snyder and C. E. Bassett also spoke against reciprocity.

In the very heart of Manhattan, right in the center of the city's most congested district, an imposing edifice of gray stone, medieval'in its style of architecture, towered high above all the surrounding dingy offices and squalid tenements. Its massive construction, steep walls, pointed turrets, raiseu parapets ana long, narrow, slitlike windows, heavily barred, gave it the aspect of a feudal fortress incongruously set down plumb in the midst of twentieth' century New York. The dull roar of Broadway hummed a couple of blocks away; in the distance loomed. Jjhe lofty, graceful spans of Brooklyn bridge, jammed with its o posing streams of busy interurban traffic. The adjacent streets were filled with the din of hurrying crowds, the rattle of vehicles, the cries of vendors, the clang of street cars, the ugh! ugh! of speeding automobiles. The active,, pulsating life of the metropolis surged like a rising flood about the -tall-gray.walls, yet there was no response within. Grim, silent, sinister, the city prison, popularly known as "the Tombs," seemed to have nothing in common with the daily activities of the big town in which, notwithstanding, it unhappily played an important part. The present prison is a vastly different place to the old jail from which It got its melancholy cognomen. To day there is not the slightest justification for the lugubrious epithet applied to it, but in the old days, when man's inhumanity to majr was less a form of speech than a cold, merciless fact, the "Tombs" described an intolerable and disgraceful condition fairly accurately. • Formerly the cells in which the unfortunate prisoners were confined while awaiting trial were situated deep under ground and had neither light nor ventilation. A man might be guiltless of the offense with which he was charged, yet while awaiting an opportunity to prove his innocence he was condemned to spend days, sometimes months, in what was little better than a grave. Literally, h e was buried alive. A party of foreigners visiting the prison one day were startled at seeing human beings confined in such holes. "They look like tombs!" cried some one. New York was amused at the singularly appropriate appellative and it has studc to the.prison ever since. But times change and institutions with them. As man becomes more civilized he treats the lawbreaker with more humanity. Probably society .will always need Us prisoners. but as we become more enlightened we Insist on treating our criminals more from the physiological and psychological . standpoints than in the cruel, brujtal, barbarous manner of the dark ages. In other words the soclologisj iftMaU that the lawbreaker has greater need of the physician than he ' h a s of the jailer. To-day the city prison \Ja Ja tomb In name only.. It Is admirably constructed, commodious, well ventilated. T h e cells are large and well lighted, with comfortable cots and all the modern sanitafy arrangements. There • r e roomy corridors for dally exercise and luxurious shower baths can be obtained free for the asking. There are chapels for the religiously inclined and a library for the studious. The food It wholesome and well prepared la.a large, scrupulously clean kitchen situated on the top floor. Carping crjiks have, indeed, declared the Tombs to be too luxurious, declaring that habitual criminals enjoy a sta/ atrtfee prison and actually commit cHttc to that they may enjoy some of ir#VHeMJM comforts. It was with a sinking heart and a dull, gnawing sense of apprehension that Annie descended from a southbound Madison avenue car in Center street and approached the small portal under the forbidding gray walls. She had visited a prison once before, when her father died. She remembered the depressing ride in the train to Sing Siug, the formidable steel doors and ponderous bolts, the narrow cells, each with its involuntary occupant in degrading stripes and closely cropped hair, and the uniformed guards armed with rifles. She remembered how her mother wept and \ o w she had wondered why they kept her poor da-da in such an ugly place. To think that after all these years she was again to go through a similar experience. She had nerved herself for the ordeal. Anxious as she was to see Howard and learn from his lips all that had happened, she feared that she would never be able to see him behind the bars without breaking down. Yet she must be strong so she could work to set him free. So much had happened in the last two days^ It seemed a month since the polipe had sent for her at midnight to hurry down to the Astruria, yet it was only two days ago. % The morning following her trying interview with Capt. Clinton in the dead man's apartment she had tried to see Howard, but without success. The police held him a close prisoner, pretending that he might make an attempt upon his life. There was nothing for her to do but wait. Intuitively she realized the necessity of immediately securing the sercould not be left alone to perish without a hand to save him. Judge Brewster must come to his rescue. He could not refuse. She would return again to his office this afternoon and sit there all day long, if necessary, until he promised to take the case. He alone could save him. She would go to the lawyer and beg him on her knees if necessary, but first she must see Howard and bid him take courage. A low doorway from Center street gave access to the gray fortress. At the heavy steel gate stood a portly policeman armed with a big key. Each time before letting people in or out he inserted this key in a ponderous lock. The gate would not open merely by turning the handle. ThiB was to prevent the escape of prisoners, who might possibly succeed in reaching so far as the door, but could not open the steel gate without the big key. When once any one entered the prison he was not permitted to go out again except on a signal from a keeper. When Annie entered she found the reception room filled with visitors, m*n and women of all ages and nationalities, who, like herself, had come to see some relative or friend in trouble. It was a motley and interesting crowd. There were fruit peddlers, sweat shop workers, sporty looking men, negroes and flashy looking woq men. All seemed callous and indifr ferent, as if quite at home amid the sinister surroundings of a prlsdn. One or two others appeared to belong to a more respectable class, their sober manner and careworn faces reflecting silently the humiliation and shame "8o You're the Wife of Jeffries, Whom They've Got for Murder, EhV vices of an able lawyer. There was no doubt of Howard's innocence, but she recalled with a shiver that even innocent persona have suffered capital punishment because they were unable to establish their innocence, so overwhelming were the appearances against them. He must have the best lawyer to be had, regardless of expense. Only one name occurred to her, the name of a man of international reputation, the more mention of whose name in a courtroom tilled they felt at their kinsman's disgrace. The small barred windows did not permit of much ventilation and, as the day was warm, the odoT was sickening. Annie looked around fearfully and humbly took her place at the end of the long line which slowly worked its way to the narrow inner grating, where credentials were closely scrutinised. The horror of the place seized upon her. She wondered who all these poor people wore and what the prl-i oners v/liom they came to pep ba«l searched by a matron foe concealed weapons, a humiliating ordeal, to which even the richest and most influential visitors must Bubruit with as good grace as possible. The matron was a hard looking woman of about 50 years, in whom every spark of bu man pity and sympathy had been killed during her many years of constant association with criminals. The word "prison" had lost its meaning to her. She auw nothing undesirable in Jail life, but looked upon the Tombs rather as a kind of boarding house in which people made short or long sojourns, according to their luck. She treated Annie unceremoniously, yet not unkindly. "So you're the wife of Jeffries, whom they've got for murder, eh?" she said, as she rapidly ran her hands through the visitor's clothing. "Yes," faltered Annie, "but it's all a mistake, I assure you. My husband's perfectly innocent. He wouldn't hurt a fly." The woman grinned. "They all say that, m'm." Lugubriously she added: "I hope you'll be more lucky than some others were." Annie felt herself grow cold. Was this a sinister prophecy? She shuddered and, hastily taking a dollar from her purse, slipped it into the matron's hand. "May I go now?" she said. "Yes, my dear; I guess you've got nothing dangerous on you. We have to be very careful. I remember once when we had that Hoboken murderer here. He's the feller that cut his wife's head off and stuffed the body in a barrel. His mother came here to see him one day and what* did I find Inside her stocking but an innocent looking little round pill, and if you please, it was nothing less than pruesic acid. He would have swallowed it -atrd—the—electric—chair—would—have been cheated. So you see how careful we has, to be." , Annie could not listen to any wore.* The horror of having Howard classed with fiends of that description sickened JjjM1., To the keeper she said Quickly:' ff?^Rlease take me to my husband.'' Taking another dollar from her purse, she slipped the bill into the man's hand, feeling that, here as everywhere else, one must pay, for privileges and courtesies. Her guide led the way and ushered her into an elevator, which, at a signal, started slowly upwards. The cells in the Tombs are arranged in rows in the form of an ellipse in the center of each of the six floors, There is room to accommodate 90(] prisoners of both sexes. The men are cOUlihod in the new prison; the wornen, fewer in number, in what remains of the old building. Only the center of eacli floor being taken up with the rows of narrow cells, there remains a broad corridor," running all the way round and flanked on the right by high walls with small barred windows. An observer from the street glancing up at the windows might coj&glude that they were those of the cells in which prisoners were confined. As a matter ol fact, the cells have no windows, only a grating which looks directly out into the circular corridor. At the fourth floor the elevator stopped and the heavy iron door swung back. "This way," said the keeper, stepping out and quickly walking along the corridor. "He's in cell No. 456." A lump rose In Annie's throat. The place was well ventilated, yet she thought she would faint from a choking feeling of restraint, AH along the corridor to the left were iron doors painted yellow. In the upper part of the door, were half a dozen broad slits through which one could see what was going on insid§. "Those are the cells," volunteered her guide. Annie shuddered as, mentally, she pictured Howard locked up in such e dreadful place. She peered through one of the slits and saw a narrow cell about ten feet long by six wide. The only furnishings were a folding cot with blanket, a wash bowl and lavatory. Each cell had its occupant, men and youths of all ages. Some were reading, some playing cards. Some were lying asleep on their" cots, pep haps dreaming of home, but most of them leaning dejectedly against the iron bars wondering when they would regain their liberty. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Madero Hustles His Prisoner to the River, Which the Old Officer Swims His Horse Across and Is Safe in El Paso. There were .sensational episodes among the insurrecto leaders iu Juarez Saturday. Francisco ]. Madero, provisional president,- allowed his chief general to draw a revolver on him and then spirited away his chief military prisoner to save him from harm at the hands of the insurrecto army.- Events crowded themselves onto one another in Juarez. First the insurrectos insurged against their own leader and demanded the resignation of the- cabinet; then they cried, "Death to Navarro!" so strenuously that Madero slipped him in an automobile out of Juarez and down the river, where he told the military prisoner to get to El Paso as best he could. Navarro Is Wet But Safe. Then followed hours of suspense and waiting. Navarro was reported killed 'in as many different manners -as—tug re—wore—-reports,—but' in—1&^ ^ourse of four hours he turned up NJn a downtown El Paso store, drip- "ptng in wet clothing, but serene and safe. He had abandoned the horse which Madero furnished him when ib-e_,imiamQhilfi ride—out—of—Ju a rex was ended and had waded the turbulent, quicksand-bottomed river neck deep and slipped into El Paso in a cab without being discovered'even by the supposedly alert sentries guarding the international line. He said he was still Madero's prisoner and would return to Juarez on demand. The day ended with Madero, the provisional president, stripped of authority practically and Navarro, his prisoner of war, safely in a foreign coi>ntry; the insurrectos more excited than ever over the act of their chief iu releasing, the man they hate more than all others F R E E ( \ .v.

In my opinion the hearts of the innocent with hope j done to offend the majesty of the law. The prison was filled with policemen and keepers and running in and out with messages and packages were a number of "**&). in neat linen suits. She asked a woman who they were. "Them s trwtlqg — prisoners that has special privileges in return for work they does about the prison." The credentials were passed upon slowly and Annie, being the twentieth in line, found it a tedious wait. In front of her was a bestial looking negro, behind her a woman whose cheap Jewelry, rouged lace and extravagant dress proclaimed ber profession to be the most ancient in the world. But at last the gate was reached. As the doorkeeper examined her ticket he looked up at her with curiosity. A murderer is rare enough even in the Tombs, to excite interest, and as she passed on the attendants , whispered among themselves. She knew they were talking about her, but she steeled herself not to care. It was oxrtjr a foretaste of other huciUlatiqns which she must expect. A keeper now took charge of her and led her to a room whert Aha was and the guiity with dread. That man was Judge Brewster. She hurried downtown to his office and waited an fcour before he could see her. Then he told her, politely but coldly, that he must decline to take her case. He knew well who rifce was and he eyed her with Borne curiosity* but his manner was frigid and discouraging. There were plenty of lawyers in New York, he safd. She must go elsewhere. Politely he bowed" her out. Half of a precions day was already lost. Judge Brewster refused the case. To whom could she tuisKnow? In despair, almost desperate, she drove uptown to Riverside drive and forced an entrance into the Jeffries home. Here, again, she was met with a rebuff. Still not discouraged, she returned to Judge Brewster's office. He was out and she sat there an hour waiting to see him. Night came and ire did not return. Almost prostrated with nervous exhaustion, she returned to their deserted llttie flat in Harlem. It was going to be a hard fight, s h e saw that. But she would keep right on, ao nutter at what cost.

Early Saturday (Jen. Orozco called on Provisional President .Madero am. the iwo talked alone for some time. Suddenly their voices were raised and the other rebel political chiefs rushed into the room only to iind themselves held hack by som^ of Orozco'3 men. A throng of soldiers had tfatherod outside the building and Senor Madero determined to appeal to them. Six-shootefH had been drawn and rifles were leveled,-but Senor Madero stood before the crowd and slapping his breast, shouted: "Shoot me! Shoot me, if you dare!" (Ion. Orozco was at. his side. His men ostensibly had been summoned to take part in the..coup d'etat, but as Madero stepped forth among them and talked in his reassuring way the affection which had been ripened among his men since the revolution began crystallized in a mighty shout, "Vive Madero!" Again Became Enraged. Hut when Madero slipped out after promising to give consideration to changing the cabinet and furnishing the food requested, and took Navarro to the river to allow him t o escape, there was blood In the eyes of every insurgent soldier-in the town. It fa claimed that Madero has not asked the cabinet to resign and that he will not, that the protest was merely fomented by Orozco, who was angered at not having heen made secretary of war. The cabinet offered its resignation In a body, but Madero did not accept it. constipation is responsible for most ailments.

Dear Sir:—Please send me 100 more dark tablets. Find check for $6 inside. In payment for the last you sent and this 100. Our son is still struggOJLn^ on. His temperature is greatly reduced His cough is lessened. But he has so much lung tissue involved -that the case is still doubtful. Very truly Yours — >v P •.•;. t~ • T f T ••t'v. 1 * ' ,^:. ,:S The story of this case is simply this Ten weeke ago Mr. JABOU £. Hammond Ex-Supt. of Public Instruction of Michigan went to see this teacher on a business proposition. Mr. Hammond found the teacher very *^ much depressed, He saioSE have just b«en informed * thAtmy son who is going dow)n so rapidly with Tuberculosis, can live only- aJew yfreeks at the most There is potbing .wore, that can, be done for him. Only to . ttake him-a**comfortafetf^«av possible for tbe little time %9 remaipV Mr. Hamnmud spoke to him about the Oxidaze*T^Mets and,asked the privilege of sending some to him. This he did and after taking the first box then the teacher ordered, Sod this is the third time the teacher has ordered r 7; The son has ta£en about 300 tablets. Nothing strange about that you say? No not very. fiat it does appeal to me as a very remarkable thing. That when a man has been gowing dpWo the Tobogan slide of thjs awful disease for aH tbes&»montbs, when ail has been ion* that could be done, and yet ho went down and dowa until all hope was gone.

V-' ^ . 1 K ^•f#;i i * On the 80th day of last March a Physician in Syracuse, N. Y., told me that he had 4 cases of Tuberculosis on Oxidaze Tablets and he said that he was going to save 3 of them.
