The forthcoming event is a jubilee '^™*h observance in honor of Cardinal Gibthebeadof the-enurob-4n-Amcrica. What is more, it is to be a double jubilee,— something that is most unusual if not indeed unique. The date of this significant anniversary is June 30, which is the golden jubilee of Cardinal Gibbons' ordination to the priesthood and the silver jubilee of his elevation to the position of Cardinal. However, the observances of this significant event will by no means be confined to the final day of June. On the contrary there will be commemorative events of one kind or another that will occur at intervals for a period of several weeks.

However, it is expected that other cities will also desire to pay tribute to Cardinal Gibbons in connection with this dual anniversary and if he continues to enjoy the good health for which he has been famous for ao many years it -a probable that he will wish to accept Invitations for later dates from churches at more distant points so that It will be strange if the eminent wearer of the red hat is not kept busy for several weeks acknowledging the popular expression of good wishes In one form or another. All this, too, in the face of the fact that the Cardinal rather depreciates the plans which have been In the making for sometime past to take due cognizance of the double jubilee. When, soon after the first of the year, prominent clergy and laymen began to lay plans for commemorative exercises the cardinal expressed tbe hope that there would be as little display as possible. Finally there will be ceremonies connected with the laying of the corner stone and later the dedication of what is to constitute the permanent tribute to Cardinal Gibbons in connection with the jubilee—namely, a Cardinal Gibbons Memorial Hall to be erected on the grounds of the Catholic University of America in the District of Columbia. It is planned to erect a monumental structure that will cost at least $100,000 and will be notable architecturally as well as serving a useful purpose at the great seat of learning which has become the center of Catholic activities on this continent The funds for the erection of this corarfp^^ raUvff>*:--!!<!i:.:~ r~c being rcisod by a nationwide -^..^.^.:1^:--11:1100 end thousajjdH of dollars 1 already bcr. j,.cCr:d. Thj sreat interest which Cardinal Gibbons has always manifested in the university makes it particularly fitting that the enduring testimonial to his career should take the form of a^n addition to this seat of learning. The double jubilee in June,—the first event of the kind ever celebrated in this country will be followed In July,—on July 23, to be exact,—by another significant anniversary. This second momentus occasion of the summer will be the Cardinal's attainment of the seventy-seventh milestone in a very active life. It is but little less significant than the other event if for no other reason than the remarkable vigor and vitality constantly manifested by the eminent churchman. Indeed, •o person meeting him casually and unaware of his Identity would suspect that he has attained so advanced an age.

The early work of the churchman was in Baltimore, with which city his church services have been so conspicuously identified all through his long career. Later, however, after serving as private secretary to the late Archbishop Spalding he was consecrated bishop of North Carolina and remained in that state four years. Then followed five years of service with similar responsibilities in the state of Virginia. In May, 1877, he was ap» pointed coadjutor with the right of succession to the archbishop of Baltimore and in less than a year he was formally installed archbishop. He was one of the American prelates to visit Rome In 1883 to outline the work of the third plenary council and his marked ability in this connection was at once noted by Pope Leo XIII, who forthwith appointed him to preside over the plenary council. During the meeting of the council the American archbishop further won the approbation of the pope who, to show his appreciation, nominated him for cardinal,—the signal honor, the acquisition of which forms the second object of the commemorative program now planned. It seems peculiarly appropriate that the permanent -aemorial to Cardinal Gibbons in connection with his jubilee should take the form of a hall at the Catholic university for if there is one project for which this prince of the church has <">vpr been a < insvnion find nri err-ost worker It is ti:'* scK-g^n " rrr'trr r, hip'ier erlnr-ninn jnder (•a'.Loli:? am-piucs. It will be :omembc.rdd that Cardinal Gibbons laid the cornerstone of the university and officiated at the formal opening of the institution, whereas the activities of his long service as chancellor of the university are fresh •in the minds of all who keep in touch with educational progress. As has been hinted above the personal habits of the cardinal are of the simplest character. He ia ever active and a subscriber to the theory that change of occupation is the ideal rest. Cardinal Gibbons has long been known as an early riser, getting up as early as 5:30 in summer and seldom later than 6 o'clock even in winter. He usually says mass at 7 o'clock, this being the custom no matter whether he is at the cathedral in Baltimore, or at a modest summer retreat tn the country, or at some quiet seaside resort. After mass comes breakfast and then an interval is devoted to reading the newspapers, for the cardinal keeps closely in touch with all current events, not forgetting a decidedly keen interest in what is transpiring in the baseball field. The main portion of the morning Is apportioned between replying to correspondence, receiving visitors and literary work. For the latter the cardloal can find all too little lei sura, but he has already attained high rank as a contributor to the literature of the church, hit book 'The Faith of Our Fathers" beiat-xagarded by eminent scholars ^7^^^¾¾ QT r//£ AM£#/C/l/i CAf?D//t4L and divines of every creed as a masterpiece of logic and literary expression. The cardinal's correspondence is, of course, very heavy, sometimes amounting to hundreds of letters a day and his visitors are likewise numerous. The ecclesiastical business for which_.he_ij a court of last resort is in itself sufficient to throng with callers the modest reception rooms of the cardinal's residence adjoining the cathedral in Baltimore, but* there are also great numbers of secular callers with a variety of missions. Catholic callers when received by the cardinal bend the knee and kiss the large amethyst ring which the cardinal wears in recognition of the spiritual authority vested in him. Unless he is to attend a formal dinner of some kind in the evening the cardinal usually hab .. > principal meal of the day shortly after noon and then lies down for a brief siesta, particularly if he has had an unusually strenuous morning, Later in the afternoon there is another attack upon the accumulated correspondence and literary work and more than likely a number of visitors will call by appointment. Whatever be the demands upon his time, however, the cardinal endeavors to reserve an hour or more in the laje afternoon for his constitutional,—this walk which is a Roman custom, followed by nearly all ecclesiastics, being taken in company with some friend or priest. When opportunity offers the cardinal also indulges in a short walk in the early morning but frequently he has to forego this. Except under unusual circumstances the cardinal retires at or before 10 oV'r.pV ar*d 'u his r^Vy-to-bed rule Is found one o tho secrets rf hii endurance, for the eminent churchman though he has never been able to boast what might be termed a robust constitution is wiry and capable of an immense amount of work. The cardinafs duties necessitate considerable travel and he stands this fatiguing work remarkably well considering his age. The month of .Tune preceding the events tn observance of his double jubilee is likely to be an especially lively one for this energetic member of the college of cardinals for this year as usual he has been deluged with invitations to speak at commencements. Cardinal Gibbons has few hobbles. He is fond of reading and enjoys the possession of a splendid library embracing many rare volumes and he is likewise fond of music Naturally a light eater at all times the cardinal is not tempted by delicacies that defy digestion. at once; there is need to renew the life forces.

"'--.,. Gresham college in 1719 was the Bcene of a famous serio-comic duel between two celebrated doctors, t)octor Mead and Doctor Woodward, both of whom were lecturers at the college. While walking down Bishopsgate, street one morning they quarreled over some medical question and adjourned to the square of the college to fight It out with swords. Woodward fell, wounded in several places, whereupon Mead magnanimously said "Take thy life." "Anything but your physic," hissed back the chagrined Woodward < ere he swooned away.—London Chronicle.

ARMY OF 20,000 MEN. PRESIDENT DIAZ Y I E L D S AS MADERO ORDERS MARCH ON CAPITAL. New Developments Give,Satisfaction in Washington But It Is Realized That Some Serious Complications Are Created. ^SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED • "I am more than gratified by the successful results I obtained by the use of the Outicura Remedies. For Beveral years my scalp was very badly affected with dandruff and scales. My scalp itched terribly at times and my hair feQ out. My coat collar would be actually white with the dandruff that had fallen from my head. My profession fbeing that of a barber, I was particular .about having my hair in good Jcondltionr and was afso fa. a position Hw try many lotions, etc., for" the scalp. Thesei Tmd B?tie o r S o effect. I had heard so much about the Cuticura Remedies that I resolved to try them. I shampooed my head with Cuticura Soap twice a week and after drying my head thoroughly, I anointed parts of my scalp with Cuticura Ointment. I was pleased from the outset, and continued to keep up this treatment To think that only three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one and one-half boxes of Cuticura Ointment rid my head of this annoying trouble made me feel quite contented. I have now got a thick growth of hair and I am never troubled with any dandruff or ltchiri% of the scalp. There is no question but that the Cuticura Remediea cured me. I frequently recommend them to my customera, and they tninK a great deal of them." (Signed) John F. Williams, 307 Norfolk Street, Dorchester, Boston, Mass., July 28, 1910. A NEW IDEA. Gen. Porfirio Diaz issued a manifesto to the pedple of Mexico declaring his intention to resign the presidency as soon as peace' is restored. In this manner the president has virtually acceded to the demands of Francisco I. Madero that , he make announcement of such intention. As to when peace is actually restored, General Diaz reserves the right to be the Judge. la the words of the manifesto, it will be "when, according to the dictates of my conscience, I am sure that my resignation will not be followed by anarchy." The president declared that his determination not to relinquish the presidency at this time wa$ not dne to vanity or love of power, because, as he pointed out, power at this time had no attraction, accompanled as "It is by tremendous responsibilities and worry. He said he was prompted solely by a desire to conserve the best interests of his country. The president made it clear that he does not propose to abandon the p r e s i d e n c y w h i l e his c o u n t r y is at war and t h a t he would not do so at a n y time under compulsion.

Mo Namara were arraigned formally in court in Los Angeles,- With hands manacled, they were brought in by Sheriff Hammel and three deputies. "Considering the importance of t&ecase and the distance which Is may be necessary to bring witnesses," Attorney Rappaport, for the defense, said: "I would like to have 30 days before the pleas are entered." "If you are allowed an unusual time to enter the pleas," said Prosecutor Fredericks, "will you waive the provision of the statute which - declares that the men mutt be tried within 60 days after they are ar-. reigned?" Rappaport signified his willingness and the district attorney said he would consent that the' pleas be made on June 1. Ortie McManigal was not arraigned. He will not appear in court until the trial of the McNamaras begins.

EVERY DAY IS BARGAIN DAY WKLI/B nunY, HTOHM Baking Helps Valuable Suggestions* By Mrs. Nevada Briggs, Exponent oj the Art of Baking, as taught by Mrs. Janet McKenzie Hill Bilpfsl Cake Making* HtaU Always sift flour and K C Baking Powder at least three times. The more sifting, the lighter the cake. ILemeroher that! To cream butter and sugar'quickly, warm the sugar slightly. Beat yolks of eggs with rotary beater. Whip whites of eggs with flat spoon whip. Water makes lighter cakes; milk makes richer cakes. To mix a cake, first cream butter and sugar thoroughly, then add yolks, if used. Then alternately add moisture and flour that has been sifted with baking powder and stir until smooth and glossy, adding egg whites after thoroughly mixing. A /ways use K C Baking Powder. Biscuit Helps Always sift flour and K C Baking Powder at least thre* friwiPg - Have shortening cold and firm. Mix dough as soft as it can be handled. The softer dough goes into the oven, the lighter the biscuit when it comes out. It is easier for K C Baking Powder to do its work in soft than in stiff dough. Mix biscuits very little. Do not knead. Stir up with spoon or knife and press in shape to roll on floured board. With K C Baking Powder results are sure and certain.* Ask your grocer for K C • • YOU Are Koiug to look your best in that n w suit.

This world is going forward! with advanced knowledge and facilities COFFEE, like every good thing, should improve; and Royal Valley Coffees are the very latest and best evidences of that improvement. These blends are prepared for you by one of the most modern of processes—a process which removes everything bat the good coffee, preserves all of the rich, aromatic oil, maintains a stronger ''body"—makes them not only richer, but more economical to nse.< There is not another coffee on the market the equal of Royal Valleys in purity, richness and strength that does not cost the consumer from 10c to 15c more per pound. Why waste even 10c per pound ? Royal Valley Nero is 25c Marigold 30c and Txar 85c per pound, and you will find either ori»* of them the biggest coffee-vulue you ever puid)» JUI money for. R.

OA.VKULY, PublUhs* J4ICH1QAJI A SCENTLESS NATION. The department of agriculture has recently called attention to the backwardness of this country as a producer of the particular kind of crops that go to the making of perfumes, says the Washington Post. Swift in the development of other industries, we have been extremely neglectful of our opportunities in this particular, since, it is claimed, we can raise in one part of the United States or another all of the plants needful for an innumerable variety of sweet odors, from ylang-ylang to attar or roses. This information doubtless is Intended to serve as a timely spur to our industrial and commercial lethargy. And yet the news fails to carry with it a^y great sense of shame. It is difficult to assign the reason why the possibilities thus pointed out produce little or no enthusiasm, yet such is the Mcase. It must be because the making of perfumes Is not pre-eminently an Indication of national vigor or greatness. Certain it is that their universal use by a people is not a sign of virility. Weak and effeminate nations have been given proverbially to the use of unguents and ointments, whereas eoap and civilization have been inseparably conjoined. So long as we7 lead In soap1 it matters little -who manufactures the aromatics. A good bath is better than much volatile oils, while civet and musk may cover a multitude of sins, especially those of omission. 1 The savings bank figures of the Comptroller of the Currency are impressive in their aggregate; they are leas flattering to national thrift and prosperity when analyzed than is eas ily assumed from a casual glance at their totals, says the Philadelphia Re view. On the other hand, the comptroller's figures relate only to the institutions that bear the name of savings banks, while there are several other classes of Institutions that do the same sort of business, and the savingg-pf-ihe-jeople are far greater THE BELIEF OF CANADIAN GROWERS REGARDING T H E RECIPROCITY PACT. SOME DOUBT W H E T H E R PRODUCT W I L L BE A D M I T T E D FREE. The Question Is Very Important to the Beet Sugar Companies of Canada as Well as to Michigan. Canadian beet sugar companies are unable to learn whether sugar beets will be on the free list if the proposed reciprocity bill between Canada and the United States becomes a law. American Consul Fre"d Slater, located here, has, on request, given his opinion to the Canadian sugar companies, although he staies that nig opinion is without authority, Mr. Slater believes that "beets will be on the free list under the proposed pact, and the companies will ask for an opinion from the Canadian government, while Mr. Slater will also seek information oh the question from Washington authorities. Under the tariff law of 1897, which will continue in force, providing it does not conflict with the compact, the tariff on sugar beets is 25 per cetn ad valorem. At the time the present tariff law went into effect there was considerable misunderstanding over the question whether beets were on the free list. At that than the deposits reported by the savings banks alone. The comptroller reports an Increase in the past fiscal year of 311,000 in the number of depositors, and aggregate deposits of something over $4,000,000,000, an increase of rather more than $300,000,- 000 during the year. The average deposit per capita increased during the year from $420 to $445, but 3 per cent, interest on the sum due depositors a year ago would account for half of this gain; the small remainder is the excess of deposits over withdrawals. Roughly speaking, the depositors gain about 3 per cent, a year by interest and 3 per cent, by deposits in excess- of the sums taken out. In 10 years the number of depositors hasp increased about 50 per cent., and the average deposit has Increased but little more than 10 per cent., or 1 per cent, a year. The brand of "S" figures In an extraordinary act passed, by our parliament in 1547. Any able-bodied man or woman found loitering and not seeking work for the space of three days could be seized and brought^before two justices of the peace, who, upon confession or on the proof of two . witnesses, "shall immediately cause the said laborer to -be marked with a hot iron in the breast the mark of 'V and adjudge the said person living so idly to the presenter, to be his slave for two years. The said slave shall be made to work by beating, chaining or otherwise," sayB the London Chronicle. If convicted of running away during this period, the Justices could cause him to be branded on the forehead or the cheek with the letter "S" and then adjudged to his master as a slave forever; For running away a second time the penalty was death. It would be futile to deny the gravity of the landslides along the Culebra cut. Utterly stupid, on the other hand, it would be to overrate their Importance. The descent of five hundred and fifty thousand cubic yards of loose earth recently was an impressive disaster, but the current issue of the Canal Record states that this slide, added to those which have occurred since last July, does not exceed the total of 6,104,000 cubic yards allowed for slides in the central division in the revised estimates made at |faat time, nor will the added exoar^ tton increase the estimate of cost Of eaosfvttiooi in the central division made in October, 1908. •tttoneaptye journals are now looking for H $500 four-cylinder car of twenty o r *wenty«five horse-power— aH ial»*to*c#me in 1915.

By that time, automobile dsalerfft b+tieve. there will be » ssUllon nnd % bAlf machines in use, sad ptopt* w b e « w the street vlD j»v« tie!* wvrkTmt out time the government handed down~a~n~ opinion, to the effect that sugar* beets were classed under the list of vegetables and that they should be taxed the regular rate. 'It was the contention of thfc sugar companies M the time thai beets, not having tyeen specifl'oklly mentioned in the vegetable M«t> should come under the schedule Containing mosses, roots, eto Under the proposed pact, vegetables are placed on the free list, although sugar beets are not specifically mentioned, yet it includes "all other vegetables in their natural state not here mentioned." At the time of the question over the first tariff beets were not used to a large extent for sugar purposes, but were for feeding purposes. It is thought that this may make a difference at the present time, because nearly all the beets are used in t h e manul'dUuns ul sugar, Which consumes much labor, while previous ly the only change made to the beets was topping and washing. The question is Important to the beegS^sugar companies of Canada as weffilfs to Michigan. If beets are on the7 free list it will mean mach more competition for the companies. Especially is this true of the Canadian companies where the price paid Is not aB high as in Michigan. Whether the fact that beets are cheaper in Canada will increase t h e price because of the competition or whether it will decrease the price In the states, is a question which cannot be settled until It has been worked out. The Canadian farmer believes that it will increase the price, without affecting the price of beets in the states. GENERAL NEWS IN BRIEF.

Bay City.—Franfc Walker, the eighteen-year-old Flint lad, charged POTATO PROFITS IN IDAHO The modest potato Is not sufficiently taken into account as a producer of profit for the man who tills the soil. We hear about the romance of Wheat, the ktngly rule of Corn, the commercial dignity of Oats and Alfalfa; of BarJajr. and Rye, and we count them as stnjjcces of great wealth for those who make the earth their servant But, granting to the grains and forages the credit that is due, there1 are vide stretches of land In Idaho/ producing cash yields from potatoes that make the average grain production of states farther east appear exceedingly small. ~ And there are so many more acres, of the same kind, that have not yet been given a chance to show what they can do, that the money-making possibilities of Idaho, so far as potatoes alone are concerned, cannot be estimated. Idaho won, national publicity in 1918 as the result of the awarding of prises of $500 and $260, given by Mr. D. E. Burley of Salt Lake City, Utah, for the best and second best yields of potatoes produced on a single acre of land in territory tributary to the Oregon Short Line, Pacific & Idaho Northern, Idaho Northern, Idaho Southern and Payette Valley railrqadj, ..

Kalamazoo.—Albert Reed, a seventeen- year-old boy, was arrested charged with stealing several hundred dollars' worth of brass fittings from the Kalamazoo paper mill. Valuable brass Stings have for some time been disappearing from machines and the boy was caught with a sack filled with various pieces. He is the son of a well-known resident of the city.

Saginaw.—The Eastern Michigan Fair association, which was launched by the board of trade, may purchase the old Harry.Bates farm near the east city limits for permanent grounds. The promoters expect to draw from most of the northeastern Michigan counties for patronage. Owosso.—Conrad Mehlenbacher, an Owosso soft drink dealer, failed to show at the opening of the May term of court for arraignment on a charge of selling intoxicants. He has forfeited hlB $£00 bail bond, but his bondsmen are secured by a mortgage on Owosso property. Saginaw.—Claude Gregory, wanted In Toledo on the charge of selling mortgaged goods, made a dash for liberty after talking with Chief Kala. For several blocks he led in the race, but was overhauled after a hard run. Three officers corraled him on the river front Kent of great Importance to the victorious state and of lasting credit to the successful growers. The results of this contest, participated in by so many of the most progressive farmers in the prescribed district, were amazing, and the following account of those results, with figures showing what the returns signify in the matter of profits from the land, should prove Interesting to everyone concerned in agricultural affairs. Through Mr. L. A. Snyder, the first prize of $500 was won by Twin Falls county, Idaho, with the "Dalmeny Challenge" variety of potatoes. The second prize of $250 went to Canyon county, Idaho, through Mr. W. B. Gilmore, with the "Peachblow" variety. On his winning acre of Idaho land Mr. Snyder raised 645 bushels of pota toes, weighing 38,685 pounds. ~ culls weighed 4,150 pounds, leaving 34,535 pounds of the finest marketable potatoes, or about 575 bushels. At 70 cents per 100 pounds, or 42 cents per bushel, the price Mr. Snyder received, the one prize acre produced In money, therefore, the sum of $241.74, besides the 4,150 pounds, or almost 70 bushels, in culls, which were.available for home use. Mr. Snyder has given to the Commercial Club of Twin Falls some further facts showing the possibilities of potato raising in his section of the country. He reports that from three acres of land he harvested 895 sacks of potatoes, averaging 110 pounds to the sack. He sold--1-,-600 bushels at 42 cents per bushel, receiving $630, and he had 75 sacks left for seed. An average gross profit of $210 per acre, when we consider how much smaller Is the average gross profit from an acre of grain, gives the reader a fair Idea of what the intensive potato farming opportunities of Idaho really are. Going a little more extensively Into figures, we may safely presume that the average family of, say, five persons consumes about five pounds of potatoes per day. That ought to be a liberal estimate—a pound of potatoes per day for each member of the famfly, large or small. The 38,685 pounds of potatoes raised by Mr. Snyder on his prize acre of Idaho land would, therefore, supply the potato needs of more than 22 such families for a year, allowing each family 1,725 pounds, or 28¾ bushels. It is fair to say that a $30 gross yield from an acre of wheat is a good <f~return. So we see that, Mr. Snyder's prize acre of potato land brought forth as much money as would eight acres of wheat land. If Mr. Snyder were to realize from ten acres of his potato land aB well as he did from the three acres which gave him $630, he would have $2,100 at the end of the season, besides more than enough spuds for bis own use and for the next season's planting. There's "real money" in Idaho potatoes. "The combination that won the Burley prize," says Mr. Snyder, "was the most productive soil in the West, climate unexcelled, plenty of water for irrigation at all times, one of the best varieties of spuds, and a man with some experience and not afraid of work." His words make clear the advantages and possibilities of the Oregon Short Line country. All of the farmers who entered the contest in which Mr. Snyder carried off first honor came out wonderfully well. Mr. Gilmore harvested 37,476 pounds of "Peachblow" potatoes from the acre that won tor him the second prize, and many others were close competitors. Added encouragement for those who have never tried potato growing as a profit-making business is found in the fact that Mr. Snyder's potato experience began only five years ago. Up to 1905, when he moved to Idaho, he had lived upon cattle and hay ranches, had engaged in dairy, livery and mining work, but had not had experience as a farmer. He took up potato growing in Idaho because be thought It offered an agreeable and profitable occupation, and he has made mmm—mmmmmmmmmmmtammmrmmm. — the results of each year better than those of the year befpeet^ Speaking a short time ago, Mr. Snyder; f*td: "I have always said that we have the best irrigated country in the United States. Mr. Burley gave us a chance to prove it, and. it was as much the opportunity of showing that we could make good, as the money, which, induced me to go into this competition." Notwithstanding his achievement* Mr. Snyder does not believe that hi* record will stand. He has too great a faith in the potato Industry and in Idaho to permit such an opinion. "I do not think we have reached the limit, by a long way," he remarks, confidently, and there are thousands who are familiar with that country wha are ready to echo the assertion. The fact is that large profits from potato raising in Idaho are the rule, not the exception. H. P. Frodsham, a farmer in the American Falls district, commonly takes 600 bushels from an acre, his yield per acre thus being, at 42 cents per bushel, $210. Someone who kntfws the conditions in and the possibilities of Idaho baa eaW that "it is a maxim in southern Idaho that the new settler, with little or no capital, or implements, but with a willingness to work, can plant potatoes on his irrigated farm the first year and make a good living for his family, besides laying aside money to> make all necessary payments on his land." William B. Kelley, who owns a ranch near Gooding, says: "We get so many potatoes to the acre that wa don't stop to count the sacks," Samuel Lewis, also livtef near Gooding, reports as folHJws: "Potatoes grow large and thick. Six potatoes from my field weighed 21 pounds. The crop runs 600 to 600 bnahuls to the acre, and can aways be depended upon." The price received by Mr. Snyder for his prize-winning potatoes does not by any means represent the "top" of the Idaho market. Much higher prices have been commanded at various times, yet at the 42-cent rate received by Mr. Snyder his profits were very large. Scores of instances may be cited to show what tfie lands of Idaho hold In store for those who will put forth the effort that must precede success. Those who have succeeded In thla one task of potato raising, trace their accomplishments to industry, of course, and to a study of conditions and needs. But they could not have reaped such harvests if industry and^ determination had not been fortified ^ £ ^ 4 - b ^ U d f t a l COndHinriB nf r U m f l t a onrt anil Such conditions prevail in the agricultural districts of Idaho. There the ground is rich and eager. There the climate is conducive to the outdoor task. There the scheme of irrigation has been so well prepared and is so unfailing in its supply that growing crops have water when they need it. With water, sunshine and cultivation to bless the crops at proper intervals, the growing of potatoes, or any other agricultural or horticultural industry in Idaho, is as sure of abundant cash returns as any of man's tasks can be, THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW Many Women There Are Who Will Understand Just Why Long-Suffering "Worm" Turned, Several years ago an Atchison couple were living happily together. The community was shocked one day when the wife applied for a divorce and got It. The story of the divorce has come out. It seems that the wife went into the kitchen and "slaved" all day. She made bread, pies, cakes, cookies and pork and beans. She boiled a tongue, made a potato salad, stuffed eggs, made a custard and brown bread. When her husband came home at 6 o'clock in the evening he found her dressed up. And on the table was cold tongue, pork and beans, fresh bread, cake, cookies, pie, potato salad, stuffed eggs, brown bread and custard. The wife thought her husband would say: "You poor darling, how you have worked today!" Instead, he said in a surprised way: "COLD supper! Lord, but you have an' easy time!" His wife did not answer him. She was speechless with rage, andr he does not know to this day why she asked the court to be divorced ^roxn a BRUTE.—Atchison Globe.

Howard Jeffries, banker's son, under the evil influence of Hubert Underwood, fellow-student at Yale, leads a life of dissipation, marries the daughter of a gambler who died in prison, and is disowned by his father. He is out of work and in desperate straits. Underwood, who had once been engaged to Howard's stepmother, Alicia, is apparently in prosperous circumstances. Taking advantage of his intimacy with Alicia, ho 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 lie acted as commissioner, demand an' accounting. He 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. Underwood tells him he is in debt up to his eyes. 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 liis'life. H e refuses unless she will renew her patronage. This she refuses, and takes her leave. Underwood kills himself.

He halted, looking as if he would like to escape, but there was no way of egress. Tbis determined-looking young woman had him at a disadvantage.

Whatever he may have done to deserve your anger—don't—don't deal him such a blow, You cannot realize what it means in such a critical situation. Even if you only pretend to be friendly with him—you don't need to really be friends with him.' Hut don't you see what the effect will be if you, his father, publicly withdraw from his support? Everybody will say he's no "good, tliaT"fie can't be any good or his fatlier wouldn't go back on him. You know what the world is. People will condemn him because you condemn him. They won't even give him a hearing. For God's sake, don't go back on him now!" Mr. Jeffries turned and walked toward the window, and stood there gazing on the trees on the lawn. She did not see his face, but by the nervous twitching of his hands behind his back, she saw that her words had not been without effect. She waited in silence for him to say something. Presently he turned around, and she saw that his face had changed. The look of haughty pride had gone. She had touched the chords of the father's heart. Gravely he said: "Of course you realize that you, above all others, are responsible for his present position." She was about to demur, but she checked herself. What did she care what they thought of her? She was fighting to save her husband, not to make the Jeffries family think better of her. Quickly she answered: "Well, all right—I'm responsible— but don't punish him because of me." Mr.. Jeffries looked at her. Who was this young woman who championed so warmly his own son? She was his wife, of course. But wives of a certain kind are quick to desert their husbands when they are in trouble. There must be some good in the girl, after a!l, ho tho-ght. Hesitatingly, he said: "I could have forgiven him everything, everything but—" "But me," she said promjptly. "I know i t Don't you suppose I feel it, too, and don't you suppose it hurts?" Mr. Jeffries stiffened up. This woman was evidently trying to excite his sympathies. The hard, proud expression came back into his face, as. he answered curtly: "Forgive me for speaking' plainly, but my son's marriage with such a woman as you has made it impossible to even consider the question of reconciliation." With all her efforts at sell-control, Annie would have been more than human had she not resented the insinuation in this cruel speech. For a moment she forgot the Importance of preserving amicable relations, and she retorted: "Such a woman as me? That's pretty plain—. But you'll have to speak eves more plainly. What do you mean when you say such a woman as me? What have 1 done?" Mr,, Jeffries looked out of the winow without answering, andLjJie went A P m i f f i A ' D W E <E>L7 RO[nrOQ(!D[M)0.aT7AK QUITE THIRD DEGREE ^CHARLES KLEIN Y v ARTHUR HORNBLOrV Y 1LLU5TRAT10NS BY RA5T \*ALTEH$ ewvwCTT, no*, *r,G.w.

There's nothing against me personally—nothing disgraceful, I mean. I know I'm not educated.

I'm not asking for anything. What are you going to do for him? He must have the best lawyer that nioney can procure—none of those barroom orators. Judge Hrewster, your lawyer, is the man. We want Judge Hrewster." Mr, Jeffries shrugged his shoulders. —"fyrepeat—my s"onTs marriage with Ihe^daughter of a man who died in prison—" She interrupted him. "That was hard luck—nothing but hard luck.^You're not going to make me responsible for that, are you? Why, I was only eight years old when that happened. Could I have prevented it?" Recklessly she went on: "Well, blame it on me if you want to, but don't hold it up against Howard. He didn't know it when he married me. He never would have known it but for the detectives employed by you to dig up my family history, and the newspapers did the rest. God! what they didn't say! I never realized I was of so much importance. They printed it in scare-head lines. It made a fine sensation for the public, but it destroyed ray peace of mind." "A convict's daughter!" said Mr. Jeffries contemptuously. "He was a good man at that!" she answered hotly. "He kept the squarest poolroom in Manhattan, but he refused to pay police blackmail, and he was railroaded to prison." Indignantly she went on: "If my father's shingle had been up in Wall street, and he'd made 50 dishonest millions, you'd forget it next morning, and you'd welcome me with open arms. But he was unfortunate. Why, Billy Delmore was the best man in the world. He'd give away the last dollar he had to a friend. I wish to God he was alive now! He'd help to save your son. I wouldn't have to come her& to ask you." Mr. Jeffries shifted uneasily on his feet and looked away. "You don't seem to understand," he said impatiently. "I've completely cut him off from the family. It's as if he were dead." She approached nearer and laid her hand gently on the banker's arm. "Don't say that Mr. Jeffries. It's wicked to say that about your own son. He's a good boy at heart, and he's been so good to me. Ah, if you only knew how hard he's tried to get work I'm sure you'd change your opinion of him. Lately he's been drinking a little because he was disappointed in not getting anything to do. But he tried so hard. He walked the streets night and day. Once he even took a position as guard on the elevated^ road. Just think of it, Mr. Jeffries, your son—to such straits were we reduced—but he caught cold and had to give It up.

Sarcastically, he said: "And \ou took a d v a n t a g e of t h e , fact and married h i m ? " F o r a moment she made no reply. She felt the reproach was not unrmrited„ but why should they blame her for seeking happiness? Was she not entitled to it as much as any other j w o m a n ? She had not married How-j ard for his social position or his money, in fact, she had been worse : off since her m a r r i a g e than she was before. She married him because she j loved him, and because she thought she could redeem him, and she was ready to go through any -amount of suffering to prove he;* disinterested devotion, Quietly, she said: "YesTT know—I did wrong. Hut I— I love him, Mr. Jeffries. Believe me or not—I love him. It's my only excuse. I thought I could take care of him. He needed some one to look after him, he's too easily influenced. You know his character is not so strong as it might be. He told me that his fellow students at college used to hypnotize him and make him do all kinds of things to amuse the other boys, He says that somehow he's never been the same since. I—I~just loved him because I was strong and he was weak. I thought I could protect him. But now this terrible thing has happened, and I find I am powerless. It's too much for me. I can't fight this battle alone. Won't you help me, Mr. Jeffries?" she added pleadingly. "Won't you help me?" The banker was thoughtful a minute, then suddenly he turned on her. "Will you consent to a divorce If I agree to help him?" She looked at him with dismay. There was tragic tenseness in this dramatic situation—a father fighting for his son, a woman fighting for her husband. "A divorce?" she stammered. "Why, I never thought of such a thing as that." "It's the only way to" save him," said the banker coldly. "The only way?" she faltered. "The only way," gaid Mr. JrTr1<--5 firmly. "Do you consent?" he asked. Annie threw up her head. Her pale face was full of determination, as she replied resignedly, catching her breath as she spoke: "Yes. if it must be. I will consent to a divorce—to save him!" "You will leave the country and go abroad to live?" continued the banker coldly. She listened as in a dream. That she would be confronted by such an alterative as this had never entered her mind. She wondered why the world was so cruel and heartless. Yet if the sacrifice must be made to save Howard she was ready to make it. "You will leave America and never return—is that understood?" repeated the banker."' "Yes, sir," she replied falteringly. Mr. Jeffries paced nervously up and down the room. For the first time he seemed to take an interest in the interview. Patronizingly he said: "You will receive a yearly allowance through my lawyer." Annie tossed up her chin defiantly. She would ihow the aristocrat that she could be as proud as he was. "Thanks;: she exclaimed. "1 don't accept charity. I'm used to earning my own living." "Oh, very well," replied the banker quickly. "That's as you please. Hut I have yeur promise—you will not attempt to see him again?" "What! Not see him once more? To say good-by?" she exclaimed. A broken sob half checked her utterance. "Surely you can't mean that, Mr. .Jeffries." The banker shrugged his shoulders. "I don't want the newspapers filled with sensational articles about the heartrending farewell interview between Howard Jeffries, Jr., and his wife—with your picture on the front page." She was not listening to his sarcasm. "Not even to say good-by?" she sobbed. - "No,"—replied- Or.—Jeffries—firmly. "Not even to say good-by." "Hut what will he say? What will ho think?" she cried. "He will see it is for the best." answered the banker, "lie himself will thank you for your action." There was a long silence, broken only by the sound of the girl's sobbing. Finally she said: "Very well, sir. I'll do as you say." She looked up. Her eyes were dry. the lines about her mouth set and determined. "Now," she said, "what are you going to do for him?" The banker made a gesture of impatience, as if such considerations were not important. "I don't know yet," he said, haughf ily. "I •-hii.ll think the matter uver carefully.'.'

It must not be known- I cannot allow it to be known that I am helping him." "Must not be known?" cried Annie, in astonishment. "You mean you won't stand by him? You'll only just pay for the lawyer?". The banker nodded: "That is all I can promise." She laughed hysterically. "Why," she exclaimed, "I—I could do that myself If I—I tried hard enough," "I can promise nothing more," replied Mr, Jeffries* coldly. "But that is not enough," she protested. "I want you to come forward and publicly declare your belief in your son's innocence, I want you to put your arms around him and say to the world: 'My boy is innocent! I know it and I'm going to stand by him.' You won't do that?" Mr. Jeffries shook his head. "It is impossible." The wife's pent-up feelings now gave way. The utter indifference of this aristocratic father aroused her indignation to such a pitch that she became reckless of the consequences. They wanted her to desert him, Just as they deserted him, but she wouldn't. She would show them the kind of woman she was. "So!" she cried In an outburst of mingled anger and grief. "So his family must desert him and Ms wife must leave him! The poor !>"•• - u s t stand absolutely alone in the .mid, and face a trial for his life! Is that the idea?" The banker made no reply. Snapping her fingers, she went on: "Well, it isn't mine, Mr. Jeffries! I won't consent to a divorce! I won't leave America! And I'll see him Just as often as I can, oven If I have to sit In the Tombs prison all day. As for his defense, I'll find some one. I'll go to Judge Brewster again and If he still refuses, I'll go to some one else. There must be some good, big-hearted lawyer In this great city who'll take up his case." Trembling wtth emotion, she read- Justed her veil and with her handkerchief dried her tear-stained face.. Going toward the door, she said: "You needn't trouble yourself any more, Mr. Jeffries. We shan't need your help. Thank you very much for the interview. It was very kind ef you to listen so patiently. Good afternoon, sjr." Before the astonished banker could stop her, she had thrown back the tapestry and disappeared throuffc the door. (TO BBVCOStWUBD.) 325,000 IN ONE YEAR m f i i THE IMMIGRATION TO CANADA SURPASSES ALL RECORD. <J The returns recently issued by the Canadian Immigration Branch shows that upwards of 325,000 persons arrived in Canada during the past twelve months, declaring their intention of becoming settlers In that country. Of this number about 130,000 were from the United ^tate/, the balance being from the British Isles and Northern Europe. It will thus be seen that the sturdy farming element that has gone forward from the United States is being splendidly supplemented by an equally sturdy settlement from across the seas). The lure of Canadian wheat, oatB, barley and flax grown on the rich prairie of Western Canada is constantly attracting more and more, and year by year the tide of immigrants to the Western Canada pi litis increases; there is no ebb to this tide. The Canadian authorities are not surprised at the number from the United States being as large as It is but they did not look for so large an immigration from the old countries. Still, they will not be found unprepared. Reception halls are in readiness at all important points In Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, surveyors were at work during the past season opening up new districts on which to place those seeking free homesteads of 1C0 acres each, railways have been projecting laterals from their main lines, and every provision has been taken to accommodate the newcomer. A recent dispatch from Antwerp reads: "The diversion of European emigration from the United States to Canada Is -saldr to be seriously affecting the Atlantic steamshfp lines. The Red Star today gives up to the America-Canada line two of the best special emigrant steamers afloat, the Gothland and the Samland. These vessels heretofore in the Antwerp-New York service are now to be operated from Rotterdam to Canadian porta." On the date of the above dispatch word came to the Immigration branch that the "Vanguard of the 1911 army of United States settlers reached Winnipeg at 1:.'50 o'clock this morning. There was a solid train load of effects, comprising 41 carloads and two colonist sleepers attached to the train, which contained tiie members of 25 families. Every man Jack In the party i a a skiHed farmer, and all have -TmTH7Vm?H~h p"77Tp?rrp^ 11} f>iQ y\g)\t nn the land, which was 'purchased last year. < They are equipped with everything that experience has shown is necessary to make a start on virgin prairie. In addition to machinery and household effects there were a largo number of horses and cattle. Some of the farmers had also brought along gas tractor;;, which will be put right— to work on ground breaking." One of the agents of the Canadian government advises that it would appear as if each month of tho present year would Bhow a large increase overthe past year. Tho demand for the literature of the department, describing the country and its resources, is greater than_it ever hasbeen. The Moet Beautiful Thing. A newspaper recently invited Its readers to state in a few words what they considered the most beautiful thing in the world. The first prize was awarded to the sender of the answer: "The eyes of my mother." "The dream of that which we know to be impossible" suggested an Imaginative person, and this brought him second prize. But the most amusing thing was that which read, "The most beautiful thing in the world is to see a man carrying his mother In-law across a dangerous river without making any attempt to drop her in."

O Devereaux, the latest forecaster to be assigned to Cincinnati, arrived at his desk before any other man was in the office. Devereaux comes from Milwaukee, and succeeds M. E. Blystone, who takes the Milwaukee office. The new forecaster is a veteran in the service. He has had charge of stations in Atlanta, Syracuse, Atlantic City, Ithaca and was for three years in charge of the station at Havana, Cuba. Devereaux has just been to Washington, and during his visit he and Chief Forecaster Moore of the weather office there, discussed the possibilities of establishing an observation station in Burnet Woods "It seems to me that such a station is absolutely necessary in this city," Mr. Deveieaux said, "and^ it surprises me very much that one was not built a good many years ago, as Cincinnati is one of the moat important stations in the Country. I believe that Congress will not hesitate to grant the money necssary for the establishment of the station." Mr. Devereaux declares that the value of the weather office to commerce has never been appreciated as it has been in the last five years, and that its worth to business is greater than the average citizen realizes.

OXIDAZE TABLETS See what a Supt. of the High School of one of our Michigan towns says: April 19, 1911 OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS -Michigan . REED, Howell, MiQh. 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 struggling on. His temperature is greatly reduced His oough is lessened. But he has so much lung tissue involved that the case is still doubtful. Very truly Yours ' t ..X i\> ' ^ # V * - . • • < ' • ' • ' • . i ' V ' B K ' - * - •' • ' - < ' • •••' ' $ - • ; . ' • « • - . • • ../ V. v/ ,'. T ,-;.' SSi w i:*r The story of this case is simply this. Ten weeke ago Mr. Jason E. Hammond Ex-Supt of Public Instruction of Michigan went to see this teacher on a business proposition. Mr. Hammond found tbe teacher very much depressed. He said I have just been informed that my son who is going down so rapidly with Tuberculosis, can live only a few weeks at the most There is nothing more that can be done for him- Only to make him as comfortable as possible for the little time he remains. . Mr. Hammond spoke to him about the Oxidase Tablets and asked the privilege of sending some to him. This he did and after taking the first box then the teacher ordered, and this is the third time the teacher has ordered. The son has taken about 300 tablets. Nothing strange about that you say? No not very. But it does appeal to me as a very remark*ble thing* That when a man bas been gowing down the Tobocan slide of this awfal disease for all these months, when all bas been done that could be done, and yet be went down and down nntil all hope was gone. Body filled with poison. Lnng tissue so much involved, appetite SXMM. Temperature high. That then by the use of the Oxidaze he could be caught in his downward course. His cough relieved, his temperature lessened, appetite improved The progress of the disease stayed for a time and now turned back toward recovery. This boy may not get well; BUT FRIEND, what would have been the resuts had Oxidaze been used in the early stages of the oase. II so much oaa be accomplished now? On the 30th day of last March a Physician in Syracuse, N. T., told me that he had 4 oases of Tuberculosis on Oxidaze Tablets and he said that he was going to save 8 of them. One must be lost. Oxidaze activates the resisting power of the system to overcome and expell bacteria invasion. It contains no Opiate, or Narcoic, can produce no Toxic effect We desire to avoid every extravigant statement We will not intentionally over estimate. But we believe that Oxidate is a very efficient remedy in cases of Asthmas Croup, Pneumonia and Tuberculosis If you have a friend that cannot afford to buy it come to me and I will be glad to furnish you with i t One Dr used 9000 tablets in 3 months. Another used 8500 in ths same time. Another noted Lung specialist had used 7200 in 4 months since he began, and is still using them. When we firet went to him about it he said, Gentlemen yon don't know what you are talking about. This thing cannot do what you claim. We believe that it is a moral obligation resting upon us to reach every individual possible with a knowledge of what Oxidaze is doing. Write me or ask me what you desire to do( ^ Professional questions I will refer to some of my local Dr. friends or to our staff of physicians at the home otVe at Worohester, Mass.

It evokes a feeling of sympathy anu approval to learn that a movement is on foot In London for "the synchronization of public elocjta." Theoretically clocks set up for the information of the people, particularly those which bear the alluring legend "Synchroaissed Time," should agree to the minute. He who would quarrel over a second or two variation would be hypercritical, but a disagreement of minutes weakens faith and may cause the missing of trains. Yet in London the Investigations of a special committee of the British Science Guild revealed a lamentable inveracity on the the part of one or the other of the clocks, says the Pittsburg Dispatch. A week of observation along a certain line of streets reveated a mean error of two minutes, the maximum of course, much greater. In another week one clock was three minutes slow on two days, another four minutes fast on one, three minutes slow on two days, and so on through minor divagations. This is quite minor from observations right at home. We might deem it excusable for the individualist clocks In jewelers' or bank wtadows to declare their independence off the time edicts ot an overshadowing corporation; but certainly the big corporation should bring its timepieces u n d e r the-law ol_ uniformity. iTURE ENDS SHORTEST SESSION T H E W H O L E NUMBER OF WORKING DAYS WAS ONLY SEVENTY-ONE. The fact that many Americans STe active-minded and interested In many things perhaps explains why they are especially intolerant of bores. It may be said, Indeed, that this intolerance * characterizes that oft-mentioned, but never ©Yearly described person known as the average American. He is not necessarily uncivil to bores; he may be polite and courteous to thum while in their society, and the afflicting creatures may never guess that they are bores, but he is not patient with them. He escapes from their presence at the first opportunity; he evades and avoids them; he Is busy when he sees them coming, and he has urgent enfagfipionm whpn__thoy -sock to-detaln him. Possibly the Intolerant* impatient one is needlessly scornful of his tiresome friends, for they are not wilful, Intentional bores. The energetic woman of the day is even taking away man's most trusted weapon. When a Chicago professor, in a spirit of derision and contempt, called women "hens," hitherto considered one of the worst epithets to be hurled from the masculine armory, the women arose and promptly pointed out that a hen is industrious, inventive, self-reliant and, above all, a big moneymaker, and so comparison became a--compliment: The~women are triumphant and the professor speechless. A certain English feminine novelist is getting a great deal of advertising out of what she says about Americans and what she says Americans say about her. She says she will not criticise in future{ but she may if she wishes. As the big man said when his little wife beat him, it will not hurt me and it may amuse her. In fact, it is doubtful if any appreciable proportion of this big nation will know or care what the lady Is doing about it. Recently a band leader in Pennsylvania played ragtime and classical music thirty hours at a stretch on the piano.

MAKING IT T H E SHORTEST REGULAR SESSION HELD IN A GENERATION. Several Bills Rushed Through as the House and Senate Indulges in the Usual Horseplay in the Wind-Up. It was nearly 5 o'clock Tuesday when both houses closed, the business of the l a i l session. The whole number ot working days was 71, making it the shortest regular session in a generation. In the last 15 minutes a conference report was agreed to authorizing the governor to appoint a commission ot tivt\ two of whom shall be representatives of the working classes, to make a comprehensive investigation of the general subject of injured workingmen's compensation and e m p l o y e r s ' liability, and report in time for the 1^13 legislature. The final act was to adopt a resolution directing Speaker Baker to sign the payroll for all the employes up to May 2, that being the day when all bills must have been enrolled and signed or vetoed. There was a suspicion that the speaker was of the mind that employes who will have nothing to do for 10 days are not •entitled t o pay. -- The-Ostrorn Meat Ax. An .attempt to override the governor in the House of Representatives on his veto of several items of appropriation failed. The test came on a $12,000 allotment "for the-publication of collections of the Michigan Pioneer and Historical society," which the governor cut out in toto, as the work that could be done by the state librarian. Fifty-two representatives voted to pass the appropriation oxer the governor's veto and :J4 against. Sixty-seven votes were required, and after a first failure the representatives let the governor's veto stand. The proposition of a governor stepping in and clipping specific items of appropriation bills was so unusual that the representatives became involved in a tangle'over the procedure to hp fnllnwad thnt inn\t •. ] M l f l i i i n r to straighten out. Finally, for fear it might make a mistake that would invalidate the whole appropriation budget, the House sent the grist of bills back to the governor without any official action, telling him to keep them till they were out of the way and then veto at will. The appropriations cut out by the governor so far are as follows: Pioneer and Historical Society.$12,000 Mackinac Island, park (entire appropriation) 12,000 Michigan School for the Blind (remodeling building) S.900 Eastern Michigan Asylum (new building) CO,000 Compiling military records 800 Total cuts by governor to date $93,700 The appropriation bills have Just begun to come to the governor for consideration, and it is certain that he will cut out several hundred thousand dollars from the budget, as passed, before he is through. Ins/ranee Bill Is Killed. The Ashley bill, which provides for a change in the state insurance laws, whereby fraternal insurance companies operating in the state were to be placed under certain restrictions similar to the laws governing old line insurance companies, died in the Senate after several attempts had been made to have it taken from the table, where it was sent Tuesday. The etate weather bureau, which Gov. Osborn advocated the abolishment of, will remain and the fanners on the rural routes will continue to receive the benefits of the department. The Senate refused to pass the House bill which provided tor the abolishment of that department. Two-Cent Fare for U. P, The members from the upper peninsula won their fight to secure a flat two-cent passenger rate on the railroads in the upper peninsula, which will quite likely produce a law suit in the federal courts, as the railroads wm maintain that the rate is confiscatory fn that territory. Senator Mortality tfied hard to effect a compromise on a two and pnehalf- cent rate, hut he lost out by a vote of 15 to 16, three senators who had agreed t o stand by him flopping when rt came time to go on record. Special Session in December. White there is nothing official on the subject i t is understood that Gov. Osborn will call the legislature in session in December. Just on what grounds he win make the call hasn't been decided yet but he will make another effort at that time to secure the laws whi^h he advocated in his inaugural message and also to deal with the report of the special tax commission created by this legislature. Robert C. Mabey, secretary of the Muskegon Manufacturers' association, thought to have ended his life by leaping into Muskegon lake, has been heard from at his old home In Minneapolis, Minn. It is said he made an attempt on his life there after Joining his wife, and tried to stab himself with a knife. He has been removed to a private institution. Mrs. Quy Doty, whose hatband was one of two railroad men killed in a Michigan Central mine train wreck at 9t. Charles last fall, settled her suit for $30,000 afaicst the Michigan Central for 12,600. WHAT THE LEGISLATURE DID A glance over the work done shows a surprising lot of good Jeftiblatioq coming from a body .which Xor weeks did nothing but squabble and give every appearance of being able to accomplish nothing. But here are some of the big things the legislature did. Reorganized the military and naval departments, cutting out the superfluous gold braid and placing these departments upon regular army bjtsts.' Straightened out some of the kinks in the primary law, setting the date of the fall primary back into the last week in August, to avoid collision with Labor day, as was the condition last fall, and in general bettering the act. Amended the home rule act to permit of the recall and initiative in city charters. Abolished several useless but expensive jobs. Passed a bill regulating express rates. Gave the state tax commission power to go into any county and raise th-e assessed valuation; Passed a 2-cent fare law for upper peninsula railroads. Repealed the mortgage tax law. Passed a bill providing a uniform system of accounting in state and county. ^ Created the state board of equalization. passed a bill prohibiting the use of tracing stamps in Michigan. Gave to the railroad commission greater powers and duties. Passed a hill providing an interchange of telephone and telegraph service. Passed a bill regulating the hunting of game. Created a commission to investigate and report upon the tax system. _ Create4- a. commission to investU gate and report on employers' liability acts. Placed Michigan's O. K. on the amendment to the federal constitution for an income tax. Passed a joint resolution favoring the constitutional amendment to provide for the direct election of United States senators. Passed a bill providing for a specific tonnage tax on vessels hailing from ^Michigan ports. Improved the good roads laws. Established a central board of control for all penal and reformatory institutions. Created the office of state fire marshal. Passed bills requiring experienced crews on railroads. Passed bills to strengthen the construction of cars on railroads. Passed a hill t" tflt minni'n1 »" • serve lands. Passed bills to foster the care of wood lots on farms. These are but a few of the great mass of bills passed, but they are the principal ones and a perusal of the message of the governor will show that the great bulk of his recommendations have been carried out. A considerable number of other measures of vast importance to Michigan did not pass, but in many instances they made such headway as to make it look as if they might pass another session of the legislature. These are some of them: The initiative, referendum and recall passed the House and lacked but a few votes of a majority in the Senate. Women's suffrage lacked but 13 voees of passing the House, twothirds being necessary to carry it. Workingmen's compensation act passed the House. Tonnage tax passed the House and made a strong showing in the Senate. Civil service bill was introduced in the Senate, but killed there, Placing of the game warden's department under a joint fish and same commission passed the Senate, but failed in the House. These also are but a few of the important measures which made an appearance, but failed for one reason or another to become a law. ARMISTICE AND PLANS FOR PEACE MAKING ARE IN PROGRESS. T A F T AND HIS CABINET NOW BELIEVE THERE W E L L BE NO NEED OF I N T E R V E N T I O N Exchange of Compliments Shows Both United States and the Mexican Government Are in Friendly Mood. President Porfirio Dia/., reports say, is to resign May 5, the anniversary of the battle of Puebla. The same reports- say Vice-President Corral will resign before May 1 on the plea of illhealth. The presidency will in^n-devolve on Foreign Minister de la Barniy till a new election can be held. It is believed this understanding has been or will be conveyed to Gen. Madero and that it *ill bring about peace. A long step toward: restoring tranquility in Mexico was taken. After an extended series of unofficial conferences, including the overtures of many go-betweens, General Francisco I. Madero, Jr., acknowledged leader of the insurrection, formally authorized Dr. Vasquez Gomez, his diplomatic representative in the United States, to. consummate the armistice with the federal government which in the last'few days bad been urged by mutuat friends The armistice idea has met with the approval of the Mexican government, and is a preliminary step to peace negotiations designed to adjust various' differences out of which the revolution grew. While the policy of the United •States toward events on the border has not as yet been clearly defined, the general opinion in official circles was that the amicable settlement of the .Mexican revolution would in a great' measure relieve the United States from the necessity of making any move in response to the various protests of American citizens as to the danger of border warfare. President Taft and members of his cabinet were plainly pleased to learn that peace in Mexico was in prospect and the hope was general that the economic d^vginpja^m*—&f-—_Mexico would resume its normal state DYNAMITER CONFESSES ALL Two of the " W r e c k i n g G a n g " Arrested in D e t r o i t ; M o r e Arrests W i l l Follow. Capt. Stephen Woods, chief nf the Chicago detective bureau, said f i a t a full confession had been obtained from onex>f the two men arrested in l'etroit in connection with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building The alleged confession is said to cover 90 typewritten pages and to relate to the movements of the men now under arrest and others sought by detectives. According to Cspt. Wood, it describes in Hetail the dynamiting of buildings, railroad trains and factories, where conflicts between union and non-union labor existed. The loss of many lives and the destruction of property valued at almost 82,000,000 is said to be detailed. NEWS IN BRIEF. With the retiring of the legislature a fine bunch of politcal booms of one kind or another have been launched. First there is the gubernatorial situation. Governor Osborn will un-* doubtedly be a candidate for a second term and Secretary of State Fred C. Martindale has also announced his candidacy. It is probable, however, that if Governox_jOsborn makes the run as he probably will he will have no opposition in the primaries. In case he should not run these will be in the field for the place on the Republican side.: Fred C. Martindale, Detroit; A. E. Sleeper, state treasurer; C. L. Glasgow, state railroad commissi oner; Amos Musselman, Gr.ind Rapids; John Q. Ross, lieutenant governor, Muskegon; Patrick H. Kelley, Lansing, and possibly Truman H. Newberry of Detroit. Two members of the legislature seek the office of secretary of state. They are Senator Frank Newton, Ypsilanti; Rep. George Lord, Detroit. For state land commissioner Rep. Chambers of Gratiot county is a candidate, and so is A. C. Carton, deputy land commissioner. John M. Perry, representative from Osceola, and speaker pro tern of the House, is a candidate for state treasurer In case Sleeper does not run for the office again. Auditor General O. R. Fuller Is a candidate to succeed himself and Speaker Herbert F. Baker of Cheboygan and Doc Scidmore of Three Rivers are also after the place. Rep. Samuel OdeH of Oceana county has eyes on the senatorial nomination for that district and Rep. Fred L Woodworth of Huron aspires to a seat in the upper chamber fronv his senatorial district. Rep. Robert Y. Ogg of Detroit woald like tc move up into the upper bouse and Rep. William H. Marts aspires to go to congress If the Detroit district is divided to suit him. President Taft hap signed a proclamation setting asidi 301,360 acres of laird In Humboldt county, New, as the Santa ROM National forest. Carlists and Republicans clashed in the streets of Logrcno, Spain, and there was much bloodshed as the result of broken heads. Miss Grace Wilder, aged 50, a wellknown Presbyterian missionary, is dead in India, where she was prominent in missionary work for 25 years. , At a special meeting in Philadelphia of the stockholders of the Philadelphia & Reading ^Railway company, an increase in the capital stock of the company from $2,000,000 to $45,000,- 000 was authorized. Gov. J. M. Carey, of Wyoming./has appointed Dorothy Eunice Knight, daughter of former Chief Justice Jesse Knight, sponsor for the new battleship Wyoming, which will be launched at Philadelphia May 11. Announcement is made in Hartford, Ct., of the organization of the Hartford School of Missions, which will open next September as an interdenominational institution for giving special preparation to foreign missionaries. Fearing starvation, he says, Joseph Dziurgot spent his last 25 cents for strychnine and he and his wife ad* ministered poison to their two infant children and themselves. The mother and one child are dead. The father and other baby are In the hospital and may recover. Long illness brought the parents to desperation. They were both about 30 years old. The extent to which the telephone has encroached on the telegraph as a means of dispatching trains during 1910 is shown in a bulletin issued by the interstate commerce commission. An increase of 15,373 miles of railroad on which the telephone is used was shown during the year. January 1, 1911, the telegraph was used on 175,- 211 miles and, the telephone on 41,717 miles. . A verdict of not guilty in the Hornet, fiHouateriag—case was rendered by a Jury In New Orleans in the United States circuit court In the trial of J. W Beer, former owner and Capt. Charles Johnson, former master of the steamer Hornet, charged with violating the neutrality laws. Determined to see that the buildings, rented and occupied by the government in Washington, ar« adequately protected from fire, the subcommittee of the house committee on public building* and- grounds hat begun a sweeping Investigation into the facilities for such protection ID these buildings. RECIPROCITY PASSES HOUSE Majority of Republicans and Few Democrats Oppose Tsift's Bill. These Michigan members voted nay: Dodds, Fordney, Hamilton, Mc- Laughlin. McMorran, J. M. C. Smith, S". W. Smith and Wedemeyer—S. Reps. J.oud, "Do rem us, Sweet and Young voted yea. President Taft won a substantial victory when the house of representatives passed the Canadian reciprocity agreement by a vote of 265 to 89. The bill got 45 more votes than it did in the last session, the vote on its former passage having been 221 to 92. Seventy-eight Republicans voted against the measure. Sixty-four Republicans upheld the hand of the administration. Eleven Democrats deserted their party organization by voting against t i e administration bill reported by Rep. Underwood, of Alabama, the Democratic chairman of the committee on ways and means. , With nearly 200 Democrats in control, and their action indorsed by a large body of the Republicans, the bill to put the agreement in force was adopted with no amendments and in almost identically the form in which it passed the house in the last session of the jjreceding congress. Testate Twine Plant Rushed With Wo, k. The binder twine plant in the prison wliich is the only industry in the three state penal institutions where the convicts work for the state and not for contractors, is reveling in prosperity this season. The plant is rushed with orders. The prison contractors and their allies, after three years of relentless warfare to discredit the plant and futile endeavors to demonstrate that the correct system is to farm convict labor to contractors so they can reap big profits wrtote-the s m e p u t s ^ J p " ^ ands of dollars annually for maintenance, have quit knocking in the open. The selling price, that is, the cost to the farmers, is $6.75 per 100 pounds for cash and $7 where the purchaser is given until Oct. 1 to pay.

' Grand Rapids.—The long-espfic.ted strike of the furniture workers of Grand Rapids, which has been hanging fire for several weeks while a committee of citizens hM tried t o bring about an amicable understanding between manufacturers: a£id emr ployes, was officially declared. Theuuion men in nearly sixty factories including woodworking Bhops, . packed up their tools and walked out. .Between 6,000 and 7,000 organised workers, including varnishers and finishers, as well as cabinet-makers, carvers and woodworkers, went out. Some :5,000 other employes, who are not unionized are affectefl by the strike. The strike came to a ^ead as the result of the manufacturers' refusal in a communication to the citizens' committee of inquiry to grant any concessions to the workmen. The employes ask a ten n«r cent, increase in wages, a nine-hour day and the abolition of piecework. Saginaw.—Charles Anderson, thirty- five years old, lineman for t h e Saginaw Power company, was probably fatally injured when his hand came in contact with a live wire carrying 500 volts, while he was working at the top of a 60-foot pole on Genesee avenue. His left hand was nearly burned off and there is a hole In his cheek. Anderson hung head down,, his life belt having slipped to his knees. The anxious watchers expected to see him fall to the cement walk any minute. A fire department truck ..rafiBQjKiejL „ajid___i£moved Anderson^ from the pole. Cadillac—The Cadillac city., council voted ten licenses to saloonkeepers, the same number as last, year, and raised the license to $1,250. Alderman Kaiser believes the city charter should be followed, which w.ould allow but eight saloons. H& holds that local option did not repeal the charter provision providing for one to the thousand population and will at once seek an opinion from the attorney general.

Warner of Saginaw, Principal Jesse Davis and Coach -White of this city, and Coach Wilson of Muskegon have started war against the meets being held under the auspices of the University of Michigan in the future. Cadillac—While Arthur Sullivan stood on top of a car of ore on the dumping track at a local iron furnace, some one opened the car bottom and Sullivan and the ore fell through together. Sullivan was buried beneath the ore, butv was dug out in time to save his life. Grand Rapids.—Because the management of the Reed-Tandler Engraving company discharged six members of the photo-engraving department, all the employes of that branch of the plant walked out. Some time ago several of the men joined the union and the company wishes to conduct an open shop. Bay City.—The Excelsior Foundry company sustained a loss of from $10,000 to $15,000 through the burning of its foundry room. The pattern shops and office buildings were saved. The loss is partially covered by insurance. Sparks from the cupola of the foundry are believed to have set fire to the roof.

Aniiie sat timid-y on a chair In the background and the captain turned again to the doctor. ~ "What's that you were saying, doctor?" "You tell me the man confessed?" Crossing the room to where Howard ^^pt, Dr. Bernstein looked closely at hiof Apparently the prisoner was re«^fc—IIis eyeo were clo3cd and his head drooped forward on his chest, lie was ghastly pale. The captain grinned. "Yes, sir, confessed—in the presence of three witnesses. Eh, sergeant.?" "Yes, sir," replied Maloney, "You heard him, too, didn't you, D«- laney?" "Yes, captain." Squaring iiis huge shoulders, the captain said with a self-satisfied chuckle: "It took us five hours to get him to •own up, but we got it out of him at last." The doctor was still busy with his examination, "He seems to be asleep. Worn out, I guess. Five hours, yes—that's your method, captain." Shaking his head, he went on: "I don't believe in these all-night examinations and your 'third degree' mental . torture. It is barbarous. When a man is nervous and frightened his brain gets so benumbed a t the end of two or three hours' questioning on the same subject that he's liable to say anything, or even believe anything. Of course, you know, captain, that after a certain time the law of suggestion commences to operate and—" The captain turned to his sergeant and laughed: "The law of suggestion? Ha, ha! T h a t ' s a good one! You know, doctor, them theories of yours make a hit with college students and amateur professors, but they don't go with us. You can't make a man say 'yes' when h e wants to say ' n o . ' " Dr. Bernstein smiled. "I don't agree with you," he said. "You can make him say anything, or believe anything—or do anythrng~~Tf he is unable to resist your will." The captain burst into a hearty peal of laughter. "Ha, ha! What's the ^use of chinnin'? We've got him to rights. I tell you, doctor, no newspaper can say that my precinct ain't cleaned up. My record is a hundred convictions to one acquittal. I catch 'em with the goods when I go after ' e m i " A faint smile hovered about the doctor's face. . ^ "I know your reputation," he said sarcastically. The captain thought the doctor was flattering him, so he rubbed his hands with satisfaction, as he replied: "That's right. I'm after results. None of them Psyche themes for mine."" Striding over to the armchair where sat Howard, he laid- a rough' hand on his shoulder. "Hey, Jeffries, wake u p ! " Howard opened his eyes and stared stupidly about him. The captain took hint by the collar of his coat. ''Come—stand up! r Brace up now!" Turning to Sergeant Maloney, tie added, "Take him over to the station. Write out that confession and make him sign it before breakfast. I l l be right over." .Howard struggled to his feet and Maloney helped him arrange his col* lar and tie. Officer Delaney clapped his hat on his head. Dr. Bernstein turned to go. "Good-morning, captain. I'll make out nay report*' "Qood morning, doctor." Dr. Qorastoln dlsapfared and Capt "Sitting There Crying Your Eyes Out Won't Do Him Any Good." Clinton turned-'to look at Annie, who had been waiting- pnHpnHy in the. background. Her anguish on seeing Howard's condition was unspeakable. H-was only with difficulty that she restrained herself from crying out and rushing to his side. But those stem, ^uni formed meri^-H*Uniidated her, It seemed to her that tloward was on trial—a prisoner—perhaps his life was in danger. What could/he have done? Of course, he w&^innowOjtt, whatever the charge was. He wouldn't harm a fly. She was sure of that. But every one looked so grave, and there was a big crowd gathered in front of the hotel when she came up. She thought she had heard the terrible word "murder," but surely there was some mistake. Seeing -Capt, Clinton turn in her direction, she dartedTeagerly forward. "May I speak to him, sir? He is my husband." "Not Just now," replied the captain, not unkindly. "It's against the rules. Walt till we get him to the Tombs. You can see him all you want there." Annie's heart sank. Could she have heard aright? "The Tombs!" she faltered. "Is the charge so serious?" "Murder—that's all!" replied the captain laconically. Annie nearly swoomed. Had she not caught the back of a chair she would have fallen. The captain turned to Maloney and, in a low tone, said: "Quick! Get him over to the station. We don't want any family scenes here." Manacled to Officer Delaney and escorted on the other side by Maloney, Howard made his way toward the door. Just as he reached it he caught sight of his wife who, with tears streaming down her cheeks, was watching him as if in a dream. To her it seemed like some hideous nightmare from which both would soon awaken. Howard recognized her, yet seemed too dazed to wonder how ishe came there. He simply blurted out as he passed: "Something's happened, Annie, dear. I—Underwood—I don't quite know—" The policemen pushed him through the door, which closed behind him.

How long have you known Mr. Underwood?" Annie looked at her inquisitor and said nothing. She wondered what he was driving at, what importance the question had to the case. Finally she said: "I met him once or twice up at New Haven, but I've never seen him since my marriage to Mr. Jeffries. My husband and he were not very good friends. That is—" She stopped, realizing that she had made a mistake. How foolish she had been! The police, of course, were anxious to show that there was ill feeling between the two men. Her heart misgave her as she saw the look of satisfaction iu the captain's face. that, no matter how black tilings looked against—him,—SUJ. A*—would not r "Ah!" he exclaimed. "Xot very good friends, eh? In fact, your husband didn't like 'him, did he?" "He didn't like him well enough to run after him." she replied hesitatingly. The captain now started off in another direction. "Was your husband ever jealous of Underwood?" By this time Annie had grown suspicious of every question. She was on her guard. "Jealous? What do you mean? No; he was not jealous. There was never any reason, i refuse to answer any more questions." «^3?he captain rose and began to pace the floor. "There's one little tiling more, Mrs. Jeffries, and then you <Httt—THT CHAPTER X I . Unable to control herself any longer, Annie broke down completely and burst into tears. When the door opened and she saw her husband led away, pale and trembling, between those two burly policemen, it was as if all she cared for on earth had gone out of her life forever. Capt. Clinton laid his hand gently on her shoulder. With more sympathy in his face than was his custom to display, he said: "Now, little woman—'tain't no kind of use carrying on like that! If you want to, help your husband and get him out of his trouble you want to get busy. Sitting there crying your eyes out won't do him any good." Annie threw up her head. Her eyes were red, but they were dry now. Her face was set and determined. The captain was rffht. Only foolish worn* en wesp and wail when misfortune knocks a t their door. The right sort of women go bravely out and make a fight for liberty and honor. Howard was innocent Sbe was convinced of leave a stone unturned till she had regained for him his liberty. With renewed hope in- her heart and resolution in her face, she turned to confront the captain. "What has he done?" she demanded. "Killed his friend, Robert Underwood." Hf! watched her face closely to see what effect his words would have on her. "Robert. Underwood dead!" exclaimed Annie with more surprise than emotion. "Yes," said the captain sternly, "and your husband, Howard Jeffries, killed him." "That's not true! I'd never believe that," said Annie promptly. "He's made a full confession," went on the captain. "A confession!" she echoed uneasily. "What do you mean?" "Just what I say. Your husband has made a full confession in the presence of witnesses, that he came here to Underwood's rooms to ask for money. They quarreled. Your husband drew a pistol and shot him. He has slgned'a confession which will be presented to the magistrate this morning." \ Annie looked staggered for a moment, but her faith in her husband was unshakeable. Almost hysterically she cried: "I don't believe it. I don't believe it. You may have tortured him into signing something. Everybody knows your methods, Capt. Clinton. But thank God there is a law in the United States which protects the innocent as well as punishes the guilty. I shall get the most able lawyers to defend him even if I have to sell myself into slavery for the rest of my life." "Brayo, little woman!" said the captain mockingly. "That's tbe way to talk. I like your spunk, but before you go I'd like to ask you a few questions. Sit down." He waved her to a chair and he sat opposite her. "Now, Mrs. Jeffries," he began encouragingly, "tell me—did you ever hear your husband threaten Howard Underwood?" By this time Annie had recovered her self-possession. She knew that the best way to help Howard was to keep cool and to say nothing which was likely to Injure his cause. Boldly, therefore, she answered: "You've no right to ask me that question." The captain shifted uneasily in his seat. He knew afce was within her legal right.

"Sure?" demanded the captain, eyeing her narrowly, "Positive," said-^Vniiie. firmly. The captain looked puzzled, • "A woman called here last night to see him." he said thoughtfully, "and I thought that perhaps—" Interrupting himself, he went quickly to the door of the apartment and called to some one who was waiting in the corridor outside. A boy about IS years of age, in the livery of an elevator attendant, entered the room. The captain pointed to Annie, "Is that the lady?" The boy looked carefully, and then shook his head. "Don't think so—no, sir. The other lady was a great swell." "You're sure, eh?" said the captain. "I think so," answered the boy. "Do you remember the name she gave?" "No, sir," replied the boy. "Ever since, you asked me—" Annie arose and moved toward the door. She had no time to waste there. Every moment now was precious. She must get legal assistance at once. Turning to Capt. Clinton, she said: "If you've no further use for me, captain, I think I'll go." "Just one moment, Mrs. Jeffries," he said. The face of the elevator boy suddenly brightened up. "That's it," he said eagerly. "That's it—Jeffries. I think that was the r«me she gave, sir." "Who?" demanded the captain. (TO BE CONTINTKD.v To Be Agreeable. It requires tact and Judgment, as we all know, to decide when it is best to talk and when to listen. In the presence of men and women of superior talents and accomplishments, or of wide experience of the world, we must be wary and not let onr vanity run away with us. To such persons we may not be able to afford intellectual stimulus, and therefore it will be well to avoid giving giving our opinions at length, unless these are called for. With men and women of small talent and accomplishment we must also be on our guard, lest they find us didactic and wearisome. It is with our intellectual equals, or with persons of a generous disposition who like to draw \out the talents of others, that we feel the greatest freedom and attain the happiest results.—Harper's Bazar, Why He Hurried.

At this point he was suddenly interrupted by his wife, a young and beautiful woman, who had been sitting at the next table and who threw her arras about him in a passion of wobs. "Henri!" she exclaimed. "Stop! I beg of you, He doesn't mean it." she went on to the others—who had all stopped playing. "He is not well. It is only a passing delusion. He is tired. He has been working so hard. Say that you do not mean it!" she whispered, looking up at him anxiously. In reply her husband looked sternly around him. "I am resolved," he said,' "that for once in my life I will tell the truth and be honest with myself. Bridge playing, in my opinion, is a senseless occupation. It is pursued by those people who are not intelligent enough to find legitimate things to occupy their minds, and who, possessed with a repulsive greed, enjoy themselves by entertaining the hope that they may be able to win money from those whom they are pleased to call their friends. With these few remarks I will leave ynu to your own devices," "Henri!" muttered the young wife, still clinging to him, "this is terrible. I am afraid for you. Whore are you In tbe Chicago Iu,ter-Ocean. of a few days since reference was made to the fact that' iu 1909 the United States raised 7371189,000 bushels of wheat. and last year grew only 095,443,000, a decrease of 41,746,000 bushels. The article went on to say: "True wo raised last year more than enough wheat for our own needs, but it is apparent that if production continues to decrease in that ratio we will soon be obliged to look to other countries for wheat to supply our rapidly increasing population." The purpose of the article was to show that reciprocity was to be de» sired. This is a question that I do not propose to deal with, preferring to leave it to others who have made a greater study of that economic ques- . tion than I have. The point to be considered is, with the high price of lands in the United States, and with the much lower priced lauds of Canada, and their ability to produce probably more abundantly, is it not well for the United States farmer to take advantage of the opportunity Canada affords with its lower-priced lands and take a part in supplying the needs of the United States, which it is quite apparent must come sooner or later? It is probable there are now about 300,000 American farmers in Western Canada, cultivating large farms, and becoming rich, in the growing of 25- and 30-bushel-to-the-acre-wheat, in producing large yields of oats and barley, and in raising horses and cattle cheaply on~tmr wrht prairie grasses that are there, both succulent and abundant. All these find a ready market at good prices. Amongst the Americans who have made their homes 4n Canada are to be found colonies of Scandinavians, and all are doing well. I have before me a letter from an American Scandinavian, now a Canadian, an extract from which is interesting.

Country With Only One Bank. There are no public banking institutions in the Dominican Republic, and but one private bank with agencies in the more important towns which buys and sells drafts, makes loans, and is the repository of the government funds. * Buying and selling drafts is an important source of revenue to this bank and also to many private individuals. Money is easily placed at almost any time at 1¼ per cent, a month, and sometimes at 2 and 2¼ per cent, with first-class real estate or personal security.

And it was tbls trust that led tbam across ten mile* of timber-clad divide —a rery long way from home for them—to Mariposa Creek, of which Hugh McCarthy, their old friend, was almoat sole owner, and in hia way a king. Somewhat but of breath, they alowly climbed the trail to the river bank whereon McCarthy stood. McCarthy, a stocky giant with irongray hair, was contentedly watching the work below. The years had gone well with him. Time, knowing his kindly heart, had dealt nothing but car eases. The Ahpalino, whereon for many years he bad neighbored with the two old partners, had yielded well, and BOW for five years this new Had Twenty men worked In the cut below, directing great streams of water that la the sunlight showed as streaks of molten silver, smiting with terrific farce the red banks, uprooting stumps, tossing boulders, and aending muddy terrenta through sluices which caught and held the heavy gold. A voice, ringing with the thin sweet- Mas of an aged bell, high pitched, broke In upon McCarthy's reverie: "Howdy, Hugh! We're lookin* for a Job/* Before its echo bad begun, another voice, in equal pitch of plaintlveness, reiterated: "Yes, we're" lookin' for a job." McCarthy, startled, pivoted on the heel of his rubber boot, and in astonishment looked at the two old men wt)ft h^rriori, rir<m««ri, and atstnrerf alike, had addressed htm. His dark eyes twinkled from beneath hie gray thatch of eyebrows, and bis hands came from his pockets to grasp theirs, which they simultaneously proffered. "Abner and Ezry. as I'm Hvin'," he said, his face melting into a great smile; "and lookin' for a job! Well, you've got it." That was about all that was said. The partners, like automatons pulled by the same string, took off their coats, carefully folded and laid them on the bank. Then they rolled their shirtsleeves to the elbow, took prodigious chews of tobacco, started their jaws and white beards to work, and in five minutes were "hard at it." The work was very old to them, because in their thirty-five years of partnership this ''had most^ always been their lot. True, it was one of the first times in all their lives wherein they had worked for wages and drawn pay for the toll of their hands. Most men would have felt, in commencing life all over again at seventy years, that fate had dealt harshly, but not so with them. To them the hills and forests were home, the good God in heaven & very close friend, and to work was natural. In this same simple way they had always worked, or passed their days en desert and plain, in the mountain's depths or the forest's shelter; had fought side by side when in brave hearts lay their only bope; had loved the same woman when love came to them; had together buried and sorrowed over her when dsaiu Interposed, and now that fortune had turned bar face wore glad to be altogether in toll, where they could share each other's weariness. It isn't for any one to know how bitterly they must bave suffered in leaving the quiet little cabin on the Ahpalino, Nrith its truck patch, its towers, and the little cross on tho bill beneath which rssted their dead, •van the worked-out ground, which for mora than twenty years had held than to the only home they had ever known, must have been very dear, and the outer world very cold. Hugh, who better than any one imow their joys and sorrows, waa l o w wealthy, and would have gladly titan them dust enough to pave with eaae all tho remaining days of their Hvea; but he understood them too well for that. Knew that auch an of* . far would be sturdily declined. Now, aa ha stood on tho bank above and watched thorn steadily handling their sluice-forks and dumping smaller rubbish from tho aluices, ha waa perplexed1. Ho knew that the light- , oat wor* bo bad to gfve wen all toe heavy. AJ e*venty the heart may bo. young and the toil-worn handa willing, bat youth's atom of etrength la gone. That day witnessed McCarthy's : Brat falsehood, and bo loved tho truth. After ho bad made an excuse : t i n t they might Quit work earlier, knowing how tired they mutt bo, he ' toM them these vaian t room for them . t o sleep In tha/moaa-houoa, no had cota placed for them In bis own cabin, :: H: waa pretty bolt, because there- worn ;; ton empty benks. It oily proved, ; though, that Hugh waa planning other { arrangamente, and when he planned, : an his foreman once said: "Something foftwaya happoned." £ Jaftmv supper . t h e * *e* oat; en* in front of too cabin, where, whon the) day's work with tho big hydraulics was done, everything seemed strangely euiet. None of theee three waa of tho garrulous kind, so thefle wasn't much said. They watched the stars come out, hoard the men in the messhouse in roaring chorus sing tbe same old songs of the border that they themselves had sung ft*ty years before, and smoked. "It's gittln' real late, Hugh," said Abner, knocking a golden shower from the end of the bench. "Yes,'' piped Ezra's voice in the same high treble, 'it's gittin' real late." McCarthy wanted them to stay longer. Said be wanted company, but, as ne one had said anything for an hour, his ideas of companionship must have been of the quiet sort. "No, Hugh," came Abner's voice 10 answer. "It's most nine o'clock, and we're Just workin* men now." "Yea, just worhrn' men now," came the echo. They all arose and turned toward the cabin door. It was quite dark, and they couldn't see each other very plainly, ao it was less embarassing to say things from the heart. That is probably the reason why Abner, In his fine old way, said tremulously, as if offering thanks was very hard work: w "Hugh, me and Esry is gittin' a trifle old, p'haps, to do aa much work as some men. We're mighty thankful to the J.ord and you, and feel we must do our share. We decided today you'd better call us an hour earlier than; the others*, because th*m that can't work as fast as some muit work longer." "Yes, must work longer/' repeated Ezra. "And we want to teM you. Hugh, that we think you're mighty good to us to try to make us feel at home, because it's hard to get used to the new things when you think so much of the old." —That was the time when Ezra didn't happy aa they apparently should have boon. They took care of the flowers, and did all those little choree they had boon in the habit of doing, but tho fact waa that whoa dusk dropped down and they sat together on the little bench they had made outside the door, they didn't have much to aay. Bach o a t waa homesick for the old log cabin away over across the divide, tho home they had known for nearly thirty years, and for tbe little wooden cross on tho hillside. But tbey wer* so considerate of each other that neitner would mention the matter; first because he didn't want to wound hia partner, and second because be didn't want to appear childish or ungrateful. True, the Mariposa murmured its way in a canyon, with the same kind of trees on the edges, and big, high, solemn hills back of it all; but tbe brook didn't sing tbe same songs, and the canyon didn't bave the same sky-line, and tbe trees were different shaped, and the bills unfamiliar. All nature seemed to look at tbera and aay. "What are you two old fellows doing over here, when you really belong in Ahpalino gulch?" And for the life of them they couldn't answer. Again, a big cabin and store furniture, and a carpet were all very nice much nicer than a one-roomed old shack, with a hewn floor and # home-made furniture and a double ; btnk; but with them always was the sense of strangeness. They felt ill at eare with all rim, and constantly answeiVDTft Hugh heard a big gulp in the darkness, and knew that these two old chaps were wiping their eyes when they went inside, all because they were homesick as two boys, and bubbling over with gratitude for what, after all, was only a little kindness and understanding. Maybe Hugh had kind of .a clutch in his own throat, so couldn't say anything, but just kept quiet. So tbey went to work earlier than the other men. This caused a fellow - one of those big, hulking chaps—to poke fun at tbem. There aren't many ever saw McCarthy angry, because he knows how to keep his temper, but this fellow had > chance. Hugh had come along unobserved. There were little forks of Are in his eyes when he seized the Joker by the throat and shook him as if he were sit inches Instead of six feet high. "They'll hold their Jobs longer than you," he said, as he dropped the man in a heap. "You're fired! Now hike!"' There were no more jokes at the partners' expense, and the man wasn't fired, after all, because Abner and Ezra talked Hugh out of it. And pretty soon no one wanted to hurt the partners' feelings, because to know tbem was to love them. Now, tbe real secret of their working at all was that Hugh was finding a way to help them out without making them feel bad. He owned a claim above, and without any one knowing what it was for, built on it the finest cabin that ever went up on the Mariposa. It's there yet. It had four rooms, and fine floors, and a window in each room. Greatest of all, it bad real, beautiful store furniture, brought in with a heap of trouble from the neareat railway station. But Hugh didn't mind. He never did things by halves. He evtjn wont so far as to have flowers- the old-style kind—planted around the doorway, and was aa happy as a boy while watching the work. One afternoon he took Esra and Abner up there. They stood around awkwardly, and admired all this meg ninceace, and kept repeating: "It's a mighty fine place, a mighty fine place, and must of coat a pile of duet." "Boys," Hugh said-they wore al waya •'boya" together "Boys, here's a dead for this claim and cabin, it's all yours. Now we're neighbors again, Just aa we used to be on tbe Ahpalino; ao we'll call this claim The Grand Reunion." Abner nnd Ezra didn't want to take it, but Hugh explained that probably the claim wouldn't pay more than day wages, and thersfore. the house woo really the only present he was firing them. Than tbey all bnd supper togetnsr, asd that ended the partners' "Job" As they wrtch<* Hugh go. down the tnaff that night b e > e * s o happy he triad to. e l o * but ;*#* eovlsm't sing Hugh was an awful bad • jEfeea tbey took, their boots off outside), for fear of speilin* the carpet, and gingerly wee* in. - thAtrvJbvf sjrannd, on*thsU trenches, an* 'tuSfed.tW water chtougV the new pioea dnd gfant wnwjfc «*«*& bad 'loaned" thorn. And they ~tfved In M r - w o w btmso wtth all i t s ' store furniture, but they really weren't aa Reunion. He waa rery methodical, because be knew how it must be done, and that lack of care would show the partner* that something waa,wrong. It took a long time, out there in the rain and the darkness. He went from rifle to rifle, stooped over until. In tbe flashes, he looked like a black bowlder; and wherever he went the duat was added In a little thin trail of gold that crept in a tiny stream seeking freedom from the heavy buckskin 'soke" he carried. That was only part of bis work. With an idle shovel he made trip after trip distributing dirt along the string of sluices. After that he let the water run very gently, so as' to smooth out all trace. It seemed almost as though the Lord was in tbe conspiracy with him, because through it all the rain fell so heavily that it washed away the prints of his feet; but he felt like a thief, just the same. "It's tbe first time I ever salted a claim," he said to himself, with half a grin, as be slouched away down tbe gulch, his rubber boots singing a little "squich-squicb-equich" with each step he took. "But I reckon there's enough pay in tbe boxes n^pr to make Abner and Ezra contented." It had been repugnant to hiru, thin underhanded work, but he couldn't give tbem anything outright. Tbe next evening Hugh made the partners a visit, but they didn't have anything to say, not having "cleaned up" the sluices. In those days it down because we thhah It's too much, Hugh, and ought to belong to yoa." "Tee, belongs to you," said Bsrn, with many shakes of hia white beard. McCarthy refused strenuously, without giving them time to reply. Roughly told them to "sit down asd wnit for grub.' and ended by sassiag bis sld white hat and bolting on the excuse that be bad to watcb his men clean up. "Beats tbe devil," he muttered, aa he went ove» tbe trail to the e s t "Can't do anything for e m ! Here I've gone and turned crooked for the first time in my life to help em, and I'll be banged if tbey don't come luggin' back all tbe dust 1 took up there, and a few more ounces with it. Humph!" After supper, when darkness came and they had smoked, Abner and Ezra cleared tbeir throats. "Hugh." aald Bar* from the dark ness, quietly but with great determination, "me and Abner have got sometbin' more to say to you It's kind of hard work, because we ain't the unappreciative sort." He bealtat ed, aft^if Reeking words, then hurried on. "We both knows you've done your damdest, and tbar ain't been a night since we came that we ain't looked into each other's eyes, then got down by them nice new beds, and ibid: 'Dear l^ord! do watch over that young feller; because, Lord, excuse us for remindin' you of it, but he's been mighty good to us.' " McCarthy twisted in his seat white Abner reiterated the last uentence Then Ezra continued: i^y&^ "THEY'LL HOLD THEIR JOB! LONGER THAN VOU,M HE SAID. afraid of breaking "acme of tbo fixin *s." Hugh* used to come up to ace them quite often. It would be Juat about dusk whan they would aee something lumbering up the. trail, for all tba world like a big black bear, only this one amoked a pipe. He would alt down by them on a chair, which they alwaya politely brought, and then tho three of tnem would watch the stara come out. Sometimes they would sit a whole hour in one of these visits without saying' a word. All you would hear beside the croon of the Mariposa below nnd tbe sighing of tbe big treea above, would be the "put-pur' of the pipes or tbe scratching of a mateh. Then Hugh would aay: "Good night, boya," and tho two old voices, ao .sweetly tuned by One old age, would aay in unison: "Good sight, Hug*. Lord bloaa and kosp you." Be sure they never forgot that! Try aa be would. McCarthy couldn't ,^uite make out what waa the matter with the two old partners. He m e w there waa something that kept them from being suite as happy aa they onto wore. Bo be decided Tbo Grand Reunion wasn't paying much, after all. Ho asked tbem one night, and found it wantonly doing fairly well. Just a little bettor than day wages.

He waa Just filling his pipe when he heard a noise at the door. He turned round, and there stood Abner and Kara looking happier than he bad ever aeon them. They were all smiles, and had changed tbeir clothing to come down, showing it to be a gala occasion. Had on dean overalls and clean shirts, sll msde of blua denim and faded to whiteness by waahing in the creek. No strsy spots of clay in their white beards or on their smooth-shaven cheeks. "Hugh/' said Ezra, "we got great saws for you." "Tea—got great news," said Abner. "Lookle here." they said together exultnntly, aa though one voice were apeaking, and laid on MoCgrthy's table a heavy buckskin bag of still damp dost.

Along tho well-donned trail we were continually reminded by the conspicuous .signs jioited by the Forest Rangers cjf'"The warning to all tampers In regard to Hres. The last day's trip was over a rough trail, crossing and recrossing Young's crock, up and down banks so utcep that we would often dismount and lead thn horses acroHS. ^h©_KAlley at this point widens out into an open park of several hundred acres called the "Big Prairie," which is now fenced and uaed as a horse pasture by the foreBt rangers. At the lower end of this pasture the river makes a wide detour around the vertical bluffs, the trail going over the top, Joining the river again near the confluence of the White river and the South Fork. Here we made our permanent camp in a small open park. For three days we had heard Marsh tell of his seventeen years' experience in that part of the country as guide, trapper and hunter, which made us all the more keen to try our skill on the game for which we had made the long Journey. On the morning of October 1st, as soon as it was light enough to see, Bert and Charles crossed the river to look for elk near the lick wo had passed the day before. Helny, Marsh and I went up on the mountain back of our camp to look for goats, while Ben set to work fixing up the camp. We hunted along the top of the mountain for a short distance, when presently Marsh called our attention to what he thought was a goat lying out on a point of rocks on the west side, and sure enough it settled all doubt by getting up and" walking out into plain view. We decided at once to try for this one. It was necessary to wafk back a mile to a point where we could get down onto a ledge which we could follow, or half crawl along back to the place where we had seen the goat. This ledge was covered with slide rock, and made walking dangerous, and it was impossible to proceed noiselessly, as we would start rocks to rolling over the edge every few steps. At length we reached the belt of timber which , hid the goat pasture. Heiny took the right side ,Of the ridge, and I the left, and we began to move t o w a r d tbB spot where the goat had been seen. We had gone but a short distance when I heard a shot and going In his direction I saw him and Marsh, Heiny had shot the goat which ran out near the edge of the cliff and fell, lodging against the roots of an upturned spruce. It proved to be .' an old one with two of its lower teeth missing. We took the skin, head and part of the meat on what proved to be a most hazardous trip, as the west side of the mountain is a series, of narrow ledges. Banks of cloud were rising in the wesV After two hours of strenuous walking through the underbrush and windfalls, we came out into the - park back of our camp Just as it began to storm. ^.¾ Neither Charles nor Bert-were in camp, and on • "^Wy part, at teast, were the .cause of some uneasi- J < n * « V a i It was raining and both had left camp * *ith'biily light sweaters. i, >'!ti the morning a s it was growing light, I gazed £ t t t t t^rougii the tent-fly to see the mountains i . #hite* tiro-thtirda of the way down.

Our game supply now consisted of three deer, three goats and one elk. 'Charles decided to star in the valley with Marsh until he shot an elk, while the rest of us took a part of the packtrain, loaded on all our game and left at noon next day for the railroad. By no means the least interesting part of this trip waa the chance to view the Lewis and Clark National Forest, where for ten days we lived near to Nature, the only evidence of man's having Intruded there being the cut out pack-trail and the forest rangers' cabins. The timber ranges in size from the giant Norway pine of six feet in diam eter to the 6-iuch lodge pole thicker ets. The v i v i d green of these, brightened by the yellow fal' tint of the asps n o w c a p p e d mountains made a picture which no camera nor brush could do . justice to, givinp one the feeling that it was good to be alive.

Ben, Bert and Heiny were to go over to Ben's cabin on Uis Salmon lake and spend two days looking for elk. Charles declared his intentions of trying again for the big bull on the west side of the river, while I had picked a likely-looking mountain across the gulch from where Heiny had shot his goat on the first day's hunt. I We were out of camp early, Marsh and I both taking saddle horses. We cut out a trail throu.^h and around windfalls, across Marshall Creek, and by ten o'clock that forenoon were well above the snow line. While we were yet some distance below the summit, we tied our horses in a sheltered spot and proceeded on foot. Deer tracks were numerous in the fresh, wet snow, and on top of a small ridge I found the tracks of a band of elk. Thers were eight^in the t)unch, one track showing plainly to be that of a bu.ll, and Marsh "allowed" we had better try for him, The tracks were easily followed, but as they had fed all over the ridge, it took some time to find in which direction they were going. Shortly Mar3h, who was walking back of me, touched me and pointed out a yearling which was feeding toward us. We sat down and watched this one which was soon Joined by another and another, until six were in sight. The two yearlings came within sixty feet before they winded us and turned back. We could hear the bull scraping his horns on the brush. He was in the background, out of sight. We watched them possibly five minutes, when \ saw what I took to be the bull, brushing his head up and down among the branches of a small pine. I fired a t a point Just back of hje shoulders. Then came the one disappointment of the trip, for the animal proved to be a big cow. The remainder of the band stood motionless for a quarter of a minute, then broke into a fun down the mountain side. We dressed the elk and continued our hunt for goats. We wen> crossing deer tracks every few feet. On coming out Info a little park I found one track that looked good enough to follow, and had hardly gone ten rods when I heard him Jump out of bed. 'He came into an open spot on the highest point of the ridge, and stood looking at me over the top of some dwarf cedars. I drew a bead off his neck and fired, scoring a clean miss. The second shot hit the mark, and a tenpoint black-tail buck was added to the fist, and went a long way toward repairing my feelings over the elk. The reunited party had supper together that evening. Ben put up goat, elk and venison steaks to order. After the big feed was over and pipes filled, we sat around the fire in the teepee tent, and planned a further invasion of the game zone across Marshall creek. Th© result was Bert's bagging of the largest goat of the trip, and Charles getting a black-tall buck. The shooting of Bert's goat Was quite a remarkable feat. He and Ben had Just about given up looking for goats and were standing on the edge of a cliff, looking down at a trail along the side of the ledge, when a goat appeared walking leisurely. The animal was about fifty feet horizontally and three hundred feet vertically from him when he shot, hitting the goat square between the shoulders, killing it Instantly. Any struggle on the part o f - t h e animal would have resulted in his rolling over the cliff, where it would h e r e been impossible to reach him. T h e t w o men crawled down t>rmr the slide rock out to where the goat lay, and after much careful magpies and many smaller birds udded interest to the trip, The act of ex-President Roosevelt""in setting aside thf>se immense tracts of rough, timbered count!}' for national forests, to be looked afler by the government, providing a home for the wild life and a recreation spot for future generations, will stand as one of the great acts of his administration. I Less Lonely Club Confident that New York is the loneliest city in all this wide world, the New York World says, several men and women have organized the Less Lonely league, with headquarters at 57 East One Hundred and Twenty-sixth street, The purpose is to provide a suitable meeting place for persons of refinement and education who are denied home 'ife. I L. J. Wing, a well-to-do manufacturer, is the originator and president of the Less Lonely league. His own lonesomeness is responsible for the movement, which is expected to gather thousands of recruits in New York and throughout the United States when it gets fairly under way. It was through a letter to a newspaper that Mr. Wing got in touch with the other men and women who fell in with his plan. "Long ago I realized that New York was a mighty lonely place," Mr. Wing said. "I mean for one accustomed to associating with cultured persons. At first I thought that through a church I might meet congenial people. I attended one in 'Central Park, west, but it didn't take long to convince me that no friends were to be made there. [ attended another church in Lenox avenue. The result was the same. Now I don't attend any ohurch, but on Sunday jump into my motor car and take a ride into the country and let nature preach, to me.

We have received nearly 100 applications." Lawyers, publishers, teachers and others have written asking about the club, and Mrs. Taylor has had printed a circular setting forth that "four walls and a door don't make a home;" And this from Hood's_"Bridge of Sighs" is added: Oh it was pitiful, near a whole city full, Home they had none. Every other Tuesday an entertainment will be given, although the club rooms will be open to the members any time. Mrs. Mary E. Medberry of Beasonhurst, L. I., is arranging the program.

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial. It surely has cured many cases of female ills, such as inflammation, ulceration, displacements, fibroid tumors, irregularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, and nervous, prostration.

On a large estate in the Scottish highlands it was the custom for a piper to play in front of the house every week day morning to awaken the residents. After an overconvlvial Saturday night, however, the piper forgot the day and began his reveille (can it be played on the pipes?) on Sunday morning. The angry master shouted to him from the bedroom window: "Here, do you not know the fourth commandment?"

The use of metal and concrete in the construction of all kinds of buildings is gaining rapidly in popularity. We see it not only in our houses, but In the modern'dairy barns and poultry plants. This is brought about on grounds of economy and efficiency; metal is stronger, wears longer, occupies less space, is immune to fire and inimical to insect life and disease. For the latter reason its use appeals strongly to the poultry breeder. Metal perches, nests, and even houses have much to commend them on grounds of cleanliness and good sanitation. Especially is this true of metal nests, a row of which Is shown in the illustration. Of all contrivances the wooden box has proved itself the home of lice and mites; its crevices and cracks are the delight of these pestiferious enemies of fowl life. To be sure the nesting material can be changed and burned, the box s p r a y e d or f u m i g a t e d , hut, in s p i t e of all precaution a few stray specimens will escape in some crack or crevice in the wood. With the metal nest Combination Metcl Nests.- this is certainly not possible. The only chance of infect;on is from the bird itself to the nesting material, which is of minor consequence, unless a lousy hen happens to precede a clean one in occupying the nest. Metal uests L'UIUHB—several pat - Working Automatic Door. her In proper shape again. Now for fear that you forget to turn the flock from their roosting quarters some warm day, make one of these automatic release doors. This arrangement is attached to the outside of the building ordinarily where the small drop door is located. with half-Inch mesh wire netting. This will show the hens the light, and they will be induced to reach it. In so doing they will walk over the false bottom, the one to which the trigger wire is attached and her weight will raise the hook that, keeps the door In place, the door will swing open and all the flock will be released. terns. One style is for hanging on the wall, from whioh it can be easily removed and cleaned. Others are made in combination as shown In the illustration, also in singles and in pairs and trios. For shipping they are knocked down; their construction is such that no rivets or solder is required to set them up ready for use. Galvanized iron coops have long been a feature of eastern and European shows, and we can see no reason why metal houses will not prove equally desirable. Where tried, breeders claim them a success, HELP INPOULTRY CHOLERA Important Experiments W i t h Serum Depend Upon Live Material— Specimens Arrive Dead. Can poultry cholera be prevented by injecting serum into the diseased fowls? The serum method of treatment prevents cholera in hogs, and if the case is in its first stages, will cure it. But will serum work equally well in combating the disease when contracted by fowls? This is what F. S. Jacoby, of the poultry department^ and W. K. Stouder, of the veterinary department of the Kansas State Agricultural college, are eager to know. Of course they will use a different kind of serum, suited to the differences between cholera In hogs and In poultry. * Inability to get diseased fowls to operate upon is retarding the progress of experiments now being conducted to investigate this question. Mr. Jacoby and Doctor Stouder wish to communicate with owners of flocks where the disease has started. The only fowls received up to the present died in transit. Few fowls live more than three days after contracting the disease. If- they are not started to the college In the early stages of the disease they are likely to arrive in a worthless condition for the experiment. Grow Laying Htnt. If you want hens that will lay, now is the time to begin to grow- them. Secure eggs of some of the standard laying breeds and raise some chicks as early as possible this spring. Next fall they will be ready for business. Do not expect heavy laying from nonlaying breeds. Don't Crowd Chicks. Too many chicks in one yard, coop or brooder Is disastrous. Older chicks will trample on and crowd out younger ones, and the ones last hatched stand small show for feed growth, or even life. It is best to separate broods widely all over the orchard. Watch Qutaea'e Nest Guinea fowls will BOW be laying, and a watch must ft* kept on their s«*t»r as it is their nature to hide them. The eggs had better be hatched by hens. O H * Turkey H t n Large Coop. Give the turkey hen and her brood a coop large enough for the mother to move about and stand erect in, and you irota't be to aft td have tout hick. THREE-PEN POULTRY HOUSE Arrangement Shown in Illustration Gives Large Amount of Yard Space f o r Chickens. The Illustration shows a Aery useful poultry house for three pens of fowls, with yards arranged for the same number. The house is 30x30 feet and will accommodate 100 fowls. The hallway takes but little room out of the interior and yet -it coramuftteateu with all three pens. The inside divisions are of wire netting, allowing the sunshine that enters at one Hide of the house to fall into the pens; but the house should be so located that three sides may receive morno v f <>» I I I t I ; YAJ?D 0 - - - - o - YARD • rtL PC-N / PLN y V p f^ S2c YAPD ._.<4 A Three-Pen Poultry House. ing, noon and afternoon sun. The plan Is followed, according to Orange Judd Farmer, for dividing the yard outside aS for dividing the space inside the house. This gives a large amount of yard space, with yards conveniently located. This building is shingJed all over the outside, with the heaviest building paper under the shingles, and may either be sheathed or lathed and plastered inside, The flock of pure-bred fowls more than pays the expenses incurred in the orchard. Now is as good a time as you can select to give /the henhouse a, thorough cleaning and disinfection. • Ducks are nervous creatures and will often lose much flesh on account of their nervousness at night. Keep sharp gravel within reach of the young at all times. Charcoal, too, is beneficial, and oyster-shells are relished. Once a week pour enough coal-oil In the drinking water to form a scum over the top. It is a good roup preventive. A carefully made, roomy nest of hay with a sod or grass bottom forms, in my estimation, the best kind of nest for sitting. The open range is best for young turkeys, but they must not be allowed out during a shower or before the grass Is dry. If an abundance of good sharp grit is constantly on hand the many ailments that spring from indigestion can be prevented. Never allow a draft to blow over young turkeys; cover their windows with poultrv netting, then muslin, until very severe weather sets in. Hard-boiled egga, stale bread soaked in sweet milk and squeezed until It ia crumbly, and sour milk curds squeezed quite dry, are the recognised feeds for the young until they are old enough to eat wheat In an experimental way eggs have been hatched in be* bines by a Jersey farmer, who found thaVfhe irv ftetaor of tat hWee wis i»ef the right How to Curs Your Own Kidneys " = — i • Tf y o u have pain in t h e small of tho > back, a t tihiea or constantly, if the urlritt 1« profuse or scanty, If It 1M smoky or cloudy after It stands a f e w hours, or h a s a bad odor, or If you have pain in t h e bladder or a touch of rheumatism anywhere, t h e chances are almost 1Q0 to 1 tnat your kidneys are clogged with body poisons of various kinds.

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

Speaking of the driveling Ute a youth must undergo these days and the many Influences that war with clean life, clean thoughts and fine aspirations, Cornelia A. P. 'Conner, in "A Letter to'the Rising Generation," la the Atlantic, says: **I don't approve," your fathers and mothers say anxiously, "but I hate to keep Tom and Mary at home when all the other children are allowed to go." These parents are conscientious and energetic in looking after Tom's teeth and eyes, and Mary's hair, tonsils and nasal passage, but seem utterly unconscious that mental rickets and curvature of the soul are fax more deforming than crooked teeth and adenoids. If these children were protected from a vicious environment and educated into habits of a pure, clean, sensible life, there would need be much less anxiety concerning crooked teeth and nasal passages, says the Ohio State Journal. What education needs to make Itself worth while is a conflict with the vulgarizing Influences outside the borne and the schoolroom. Life has become a hard problem for the children. They are surrounded bj a cloud of pleasures and fascinations that lead them away from virtue, culture and serious thought. It may not make them vicious and criminal, but to make them stupid, la- AND IIS WORK PARDON BOARD THREATENS TO RESIGN ON ACCOUNT OF DIFFERENCES W I T H T H E GOVERNOR.

Still they didn't borrow as much as they now draw and as a result a number of them have saved money which they would not otherwise have done. By L. C. Ward. Pardon Board May Quit. It is said here that differences have arisen between Gov. Ostiorn and the pardon board which may result in the board resigning in a body. The board and the governor has clashed several times since he appointed two members, Judge Russell and Dr. J. B. Bradley, and last week there was almost an open rupture when Gov. Osborn paroled Martin E. Brown, of Kalkaska, charged with wife desertion, without consulting the board, although it was in session in another room of the executive suite. It seems to be assured now that another county is to be created by taking portions of Cheboygan and Presque Isle counties. The county will be named either Forest or Osborn.

It is a malady that appeared years ago, but not until lately has it assumed epidemic proportions. The disease is an affection of the spinal cord, though it involves the heart, liver, kidneys and lymphoid tissues. Efforts have been made to discover the germ of the disease, but it seems to be so small as to escape detection, says the Ohio State Journal.

The devastations bT the malady seem to have decreased during the cold weather, but there are apprehensions that early In the spring the fatalities will reappear. It is hoped by then the germ will be found out and an antitoxin devised for Its demolition. While this disease is proneto attack children, adults, too, are subject to It. It Is said about 20 per cent, of the cases die. Relief from the exactions.._of fash- Ion is aimed at through a petition which has been presented to the North Carolina Benate, asking for legislation that will establish permanent and economical styles of clothing, in order that farmers and others with large families shall be exempt from tbe hardship of trying to keep up with prevailing modes. No doubt the object sought is a worthy one. But who is to be,the "arbiter elegantlarum," such as the ancient Romans bad, to set the pace in "what to wear?" And -what assurance is there that the wife and children of even the poorest of poor men would be satisfied with any design on which the arbitration board should decide? Statesmen in North Carolina and elsewhere who attempt to "monkey" with the fashions are quite likely to find such action a good deal like dallying with dynamite.

Another taxation measure which is very important has passed the House. That is the Stevenson bill, which provides for a tonnage tax on all vessels. At present all steamers and other craft are taxed add valorem, while in other states there is a specific fee or a tonnage tax. As a result, while thousands of craft are owned in Michigan the greater part of them are "hailed" from ports in other states where the taxes are lower. Then, too, the fleet of the Pittsburg Stoamuhip Co., wlikh means' the steel trust, have gotten around' the tax question by hailing from Isle Royal a. The island is owned by the steel trust and. comprises one township of Keewenaw county. As the steel trust controls it and there is practically no local taxes to pay, the trust has l>een escaping nearly all taxation on its great fleet of ore carriers. Compromise Possible on Central Board. After being defeated by one vote on Tuesday the Stewart -central board of control for all state institutions was revived on Wednesday and now stands a chance of passage in an amended form. When it was taken from tiie table. Rep. I^ord succeeded In getting adopted an amendment which placed only the penal institutions under the board, Instead of all the asylums and paternal institutions, except the educational institutions, There was a long parliamentary battle following, but the bill was finally referred back to the committee to have It fixed up to conform to the Lord amendment. It is possible that It will be passed in the amended form. Boxers to Meet. The members of the Senate of 1907. the famous "Boxer" session, in which the upper house was split 16 to 16 ofi all important measures, Is to have a reunion on April 7. A committee consisting of Senators Kline, 0. B Fuller, John D. M. MacKav, Arthur Tuttle, Huntley Russell, Fred C. Wetmore and Michael H. Moriarty has the arrangements in hand. Ex-Lieut- Gov. Kelley will preside as toastmaster. Of the crowd in that Senate only two are left in tje present Senate, Senators Kline andk Moriarty. Fred C. Martindale is secretary of state; Huntley Russell Is land commissioner: O. B. Fuller, is auditor general; Fred C.

Many Petition for Unit Bill. The House is being flooded with petitions in favor of the Fitzgibbon unit bill, which makes the city, village and township the unit of submission of the local option question instead of the county. The petitions are coming in from both dry and wet counties and the names which have already been received number many thousand. The fate of the measure, however, is still in doubt, as there is a big disposition on the part of the members to avoid any liquor legislation this time, because of the effect it will have on tjie campaign of next year. That is also the idea of Gov. Osborn. Reforms Pass in Committee. The initiative, referendum and recall bills have passed the House committee of the whole, but there is little chance now of their passing the House when the resolution comes up for final passage. There was no debate on the propositions of any general character and but little interest was manifested in the measures. Tbe opponents are sure that the necessary 67 votes cannot be secured and the friends of the reform measures have come to about the same conclusion, in any event they have no chance in -the—Senate; - - - - —* - Baker Fights 'for Indian Equality. Speaker Baker went down on the floor of the House to fight for an amendment to the Martz liquor bill, which would allow the sale of liquor to Indians on the same footing, as any other person. Speaker Baker declared that a Chinaman, or a negro, or the person of any other race could purchase liquor, but that a man, although he might be practically white, but have a touch of Indian blood, is not given an equal footing with the white man. The amendment was lost, however. 8aloons to Open on Holidays. The Martz bill, which allows saloons to keep open on New Year's, Washington's birthday, Lincolnfs •biilhday, CollfTnbus day. special eiec tion days and on general election days after the polls close, has passed the.House committee of the whole and seems sure to pass the legislature. The only amendment made in the House was to more clearly define the meaning of "general election day." Scott Gets Normal School. Senator F. D. Scott has succeeded in shoving through the Senate the Townsend Not an Insurgent. Senator Townsend addressed the House on Tuesday and frankly told the members that he was not an insurgent. He said that the east was too conservative and the west too radical, but that Michigan stood for wise but slow progression and that that was the attitude he intended to assume in the Senate. While he did not mention it in his speech, when questioned he said that he was in favor of reciprocity. Houses Peeved at Each Other. The two houses are peeved at each other. Over In the Senate the Senate has been quietly passing House bills for the day so as to give consideration to Senate measures first. The House got wise and immediately started to retaliate by passing Senate bills for the day. Then they both got busy and patched things up and are considering bills in their regular order, but are still angry. Central Board to Die. A roll has been made of the Senate which shows that even if the central board bill passes the House it has no chance on the other side of the capltol. There are 23 senators openly against the measure and only three who will say they are for it, the others being non-committal. Many Bills Being Passed. With the end in sight both house* are getting away at a tremendous rate and the bills are pouring through each day. Although it got started late, the legislature is going to be well up with the total number of bills passed, although by far the most ot them are not rery Important. Murths to Start Suit.

E TOWS IN BRIEF; T H E DEPUTY, A N T I C I P A T I N G LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE'S REPORT. SENDS RESIGNATION. WARDEN MAY A L 8 0 RESIGN, T R U E TO HIS T H R E A T , "IF MY BROTHER LEAVES, 1 LEAVE." Majority and Minority Reports Agree in Demanding Will Russet's Resignation and Abolition of Contracts. Deputy Warden Wm. Russell, of Marquette prison, brother of Warden Jas. Russell, and superintendent of one of the prison factories, has tendered his resignation. He thus anticipates the report of the entire legislative committee, which will demand his resignation, although he gives ill health as his reason for resigning. If Warden Russell carries out the threat he made to the committee while they were in Marquette he, too, will resign with his brother in the course of a few days. The resignation was brought out today at the first meeting of the legislative committee and it relieves the members of the necessity ot passing on the criticism that has been directed against the deputy warden. "If my brother leaves Marquette I leave, too," is the statement that Warden Russell made to some of the legislators. Now that the deputy has quit the resignation of the warden is expected. l ne reptJri or tue coiuroriiee to^ w made public next week will be in two parts. The minority will demand the resignation of both Russelts and the abolishment of corporal punishment. The majority will demand the abolition of contracts and the resignation of Will Russell. Both reports will agree that all the present contracts at the prison should be annulled and will recommend an appropriation of $25,000 to purchase machinery with which to carry on the wofk.

"Leave flag and sword as it is," he wrote, "and, as I am slowly lowered into the grave, let them be lifted and presented to my son." The directions were carried out to the letter. Can Draw Pay For Seven Days. In an opinion handed down the supreme court sustained the right of the officers and employes of the leg* islature to draw pay for seven days a week, which will relieve the stress under which employes have worked without pay since the session opened. In apposing the claim of the employes the attorney-general's department contended that the state blue law prohibiting work on Sunday precluded the employes drawing pay for that day of the week, but the court says the legislators, since time Immemorial, have drawn pay for seven days, and on that theory the employes are also entitled to their salary. It 1B also pointed out that emergencies might arise which would require the legislature to hold a session on Sunday and require the services of the staff of employes. Approximately 120,000 is due the employes. STATE BRIEFS. Charles T. ChaRin, 69, pioneeir Michigan editor, died in Cadillac. He left the widow a n d ^ daughter.

Of course, he had promised her the same thing a hundred times before, but this time he meant It. His drinking was always getting him into some fool scrape or other. He was gradually working his way along the room, when suddenly he stumbled over something on the floor. It was a man lying prostrate. Stooping, he recognized the figure. "Why—it's Underwood!" he exclaimed. At first he believed his classmate was asleep, yet considered it strange that he should have selected so uncomfortable a place. Then it occurred to him that he might be ill. Shaking him by the shoulder, he cried: "Hey, Underwood, what's the matter?" No response came from the prostrate figure.

Death is better than going to jail. What good is life anyway without money? Just a moment's nerve and it will all be over." Opening the drawer in the.de.sk, he took out the revolver again. He turned it over In his hand and regarded fearfully the polished surface of the instrument that bridged life and death. He had completely forgotten Howard's presence in the room. On the threshold of a terrible dded, his thoughts were leagues away. Like a man who is drowning, and close to death, he saw with surprising distinctness a kaleidoscopic view of his past life. He saw himself an innocent, impulsive school boy, the pride of a devoted mother, the happy home where he spent his childhood. Then came the association with bad companions, the first step in wrongdoing, stealing out of a comrade's pocket in school, the death of his mother, leaving home~~- with downward progress until he gradually drifted into his present dishonest way of living. What was the good of regrets? He could not recall his mother to life. He could never rehabilitate himself among decent men and women. The world had suddenly become too small for him. He must go, and quickly. J. Fingering the pistol nervously, he sat before the mirror and placed it against his temple. The cold steel gave him a sudden shock. He wondered if it would hurt, and if there would be instant oblivion. The glare of the electric light In the room disconcerted him. It occurred to him that It would be easier in the dark. Reaching out his arm, he turned the electric button, and the room was immediately plunged Into darkness, except for the moonlight which entered through the windows, imparting a ghostly aspect to the scene. On the other side of the room, behind -the screen, a red glow from the open fire fell on the sleeping form of Howard Jeffries. Stowly deliberately, Uhdarwoodl raised the pistol to bis tempi© and tired, ,,-r the moonlight and saw that it was covered with blood. Horror-stricken, he cried: "My God?~~ He's bleeding—he's hurt!" What had happened? An accident —or worse? Quickly he felt the "man's pulse. It had ceased to beat. Underwood was dead. For a moment Howard was too much overcome by his discovery to know what to think or do. What dreadful tragedy could have happened? Carefully groping along the mantelpiece, he at last found the electric button and turned on the light. There, stretched out on the floor, lay Underwood, with a bullet hole in his left temple, from which blood had flowed freely down on his full-dress CHAPTER VIII. "Hello! Whafs that?M Startled out of his Gargantuan slumber J y the revolver's loud report, Howard sat up with a jump and rubbed his eyes. On the other side, of the screen, concealed from his observation, there was a heavy crash of coward enough to write a letter like j a body falling with a chair—then all this Jias the courage-to carry out his was quiet. threat" Stuffing the letter back into her bag, she added: / 1 should have thrown it in the waste-paper basket, but jon second thoughts, I think I'll keep It Good-night" "Good-Bight" echoed Underwood mechanically. ..:••• .-..

YeZ^he r e M e d that oerfectl^weli ThenMhe.aad shirt. It was a ghastly sight. The man's white, set face, covered with a crimson stream, made a repulsive spectacle. On the floor near the body was a highly polished revolver, still smoking. Howard's first supposition was that burglars had entered the place and that Underwood had been killed while defending hi9 property. He remembered now that in his drunken sleep he had heard voices in angry altercation. Yet why hadn't he. called for assistance? Perhaps he had and he hadn't heard him. He looked at the clock, and was surprised to find it was not yet raidnight. He believed it was at least five o'clock in the morning. It was evident that Underwood had never gone to bed. The shooting had occurred either while the angry dispute was going on or after the unknown visitor had departed. The barrel of the revolver was still warm, showing that it could only have been discharged a few moments before. Suddenly it flashed upon him that Underwood might have committed suicide. But it was useless to stand there theorizing. Something must be done. He must alarm the hotel people or call the police. He felt himself turn hot and cold by turn as he realized the serious predicament in which be himself was placed. If he aroused the hotel people they wpuld And him here alone with a dead man. Suspicion would at once be directed at him, and it might be very difficult for him to establish his innocence. Who Would believe that he could have fallen asleep in a bed while a man killed himself in the.same room? It sounded preposterous. The wisest course for him would be to get away before anybody came. Quickly he picked up his hat and made for the door. Just as he was about to lay hand on the handle there was the click of a latchkey. Thus headed rfff, and not knowing what to dp, he halted in painful suspense. TJhe door opened and a man entered. .: He looked as surprised to see Howard as the latter was to see him. He was clean-shaven and neatly dressed, Jyat did not lookf the gentleman. His appearance was rather that of a servtaftt AH thee" details flatbed before Howard's mind before he blurted out: "Who the devil are your | The man looked astonished at the question and' eyed his interlocutor closely, as if in doubt as to his identity. In a cockney accent' he said loftily: "I am Ferris, Mr. Underwood's man, sir." Suspiciously, he added:+"Are you a friend of Mr. Underwood's, sir?" He might well ask the question, for Howard's disheveled appearance and ghastly face, still distorted by terror, was anything but reassuring. Taken by surprise, Howard did not know what to say, and like most people questioned at a disadvantage, he answered foolishly: "Matter? No. What makes you think anything is the matter r Brushing past the man* he added: "It's lata. I'm going." "Stop a minute!" cried the man servant There was something in Howard's maimer .that he did not -like. Pasting qoiekly into the sitting room, ha celled out: "Stop a minuter Btrt did not sten. Terror g*v* down the first staircase when ho heard shouts behind him. "Murder! Stop thief! Stop that man! Stop that man!" There was a rush of feet and hum of voices, which made Howard run all the faster. He leaped down four steps ate a time In his anxiety to get away. But it was no easy matter descending so many flights of stairs. It took him several minutes to reach the muiu floor. By this time the whole hotel was aroused. Telephone calls had quickly warned the attendants, who had promptly sent for the police. By the time Howard reached the main entrance he was intercepted, by a mob too numerous to resist. Things certainly looked black for him. As he sat, white and trembling, under guard in a corner of the entrance hall, waiting for the arrival of the police, the valet breathlessly gave the sensational particulars to the rapidly growing crowd of curious onlookers. He had taken his usual Sunday out and on returning home at midnight, as was his custom, he had let himself in with his latchkey. To his astonishment he had found this man, the prisoner, about to leave the premises. His manner and remarks were so peculiar that they at once aroused his suspicion. He hurried into the apartment and found his master lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood. In his hurry the assassin had dropped his revolver, which was lying near the corpse. As far as he could see, nothing had been taken from the apartment. Evidently the man was disturbed at his work and, when suddenly surprised, had made the bluff that he was calling on Mr. Underwood. They had got the right man, that Wasceflam" He~was'"caught red-" handed, and in proof of what he said, the valet pointed to Howard's rigW band, which was still covered with blood. "How terrible!" exclaimed a woman bystander, averting her face. "So young, too!" "It's all a mistake, T tell you. It's all a mistake," cried Howard, almost panic-etricken. "I'm a friend of Mr. Underwood's." "Nice friend!" sneered an onlooker, "Tell that to the police," laughed another. "Or to the marines!" cried a third. , "It's the chair for his'n!" opined a fourth. By this time the main entrance hall was crowded with people, tenants ftnri n a a s f l r a h v — a t t r a c t e d , h v t h p unwonted commotion. A scandal In high life is always caviare, to the sensa tion seeker. Everybody excitedly in quired of his neighbor: "What is it? What's the matter?" Presently the rattle of wheels was heard and, a heavy vehicle driven furi ously, drew up at the sidewalk with a jerk. It was the police patrol wagon, and in it were the captain ol the precinct and a half dozen policemen and detectives. The crowd pushed forward to get a better view of the burly representatives of the law as. full of authority, they elbowed their way unocremonlousily through the throng. Pointing to the leader, a big man in plain clothes, with n square, determined jaw and a bulldog face, they whispered one to another: "That's (.'apt. Clinton, chief 'of the precinct. He's a terror. It'll go hard with any prisoner he gets in his clutches!" Followed by his uniformed myr midons, the police official pushed his way to the corner where sat Howard, dazed and trembling, and still guarded by the valet and elevator boys. "What's the matter here?" demanded the captain gruffly, and looking from Ferris to the white-faced Howard. The valet eagerly told his story: "I came home at midnight, sir, and found my master, Mr. Robert Under wood, lying dead in the apartment, shot through the head." Pointing tc Howard, he added: "This man was in the apartment trying to get away. You see his hand is still covered with Wood." Capt. Clinton chuckled, and expand Ing his mighty chest to its fullest, licked his chops with satisfaction. This was the opportunity he had been looking for—a sensational murder io a big apartment hotel, right in the very heart of his precinct! Nothing could be more to his liking. It was a rich man's murder, the beBt kind to attract attention to himaelf. The sensational newspapers would be full of the case. They would print columns of stuff every day, together with his portrait That was just the kind of publicity he needed now that he NEWS IN BRIEF.

JtaiMD * . « j " HEY were both -minora sad * owned claims on the same gulch, but were -neither friends nor well acquainted; otherwise there probably would have been no Maripoaa War, to paaa down In district legend, even though It escaped the 'light of school histories. But there was a war, as any man in Mariposa will testify. Bill Thompson stood six feet three In his stocking feet, and wasn't given to much conversation. He owned Number Four on MaripoBa, had good ground, and worked it well. Jim Tipton owned Number Two on the same 'creek, but didn't work it, save for as- • sessment, because he bad another ; good piece of ground across the low divide, on Goldpan, where he held forth. They were about the same age, and neither of them had any bad habits—that is, so far as any one in the camp ever knew. Maybe this was •one reason why they weren't well known. A man has to, have some bad habits in order to be what is gener- •ally called "popular." The war was caused by two women* a bulldog, and a claim. Tbe claim was Number Three, on MaripoBa, which stood between their stakelines, and had /sfnoe been owned and worked by Old Bill Banks. Old Bill had a good ,piece of aground, a waterright, and a hydraulic plant. Being a man who preferred telling about what he was going to do in preference to •showing what he had done, he got just about that far and quit. He died. His heirs put Number Three in tbe hands of an eastern agent, who has since changed his home address, and perhaps his name. Anyhow, it's a certainty he never came West, where several of the boys wanted to meet him and give him a reception. He knew the kind of reception it would h e . a n d Wftjm't anxlnim, Slaters, let L«t us take uous ra pllal cbee* uinp t*haed m -dinoeinsg. ; WL*et aurse. snhootw b ethbined h tuhlkein taim* em*.e n-folk It had sounded rather inspiriting then when read -at "The Woman'a Saturday Advancement Club," but when put to the test Its ringing turned to pitiable tinkllngs. She deeided she would nave to have help. So it was that one night she took Bill's advice. He Agreed to hire a man for her, let tbe man live at bis cabin, and "kinder boss the Job." The hiring wasn't eaay, as men were scarce in those days in Mariposa— that is, men who would work for daywages; but Bill, hired an ancient miner whose chief claim to notice was that he complained about most everything in sight, from the way the willows grew on the creek to his daily rheumatism. They -called him "Doc," because he had never been a doctor, but bad taken more patent medicines than any other man on the Big Divide, and titles dont count much, after all in bydraulicking. That latter part he understood, and rn a few days more there might *e heard each morning the mighty rush of weHdirected waters on Number Three. glie I1 and Miss Esmerelda did learn one thing about mining, though. She knew how to clean up the sluices and treasure the gold that came in inviting yellow grains between tbe riffles. So, before 'long, affaire on Mariposa 'were prosperous and pleasant. There came a day, as before, when the stage came up with a jerk before the-Palace Hotel, and as if in repetition, dumped out another woman who didn't have much luggage and was not alone. She was accompanied by about the ugliest brindle bulldog that ever came west of the Rockies. She rtepped out with a self-confident air, glowered unabashed at the men who gaped at her. and paid to the proprietor of the Palace: "Here, vr ' Hnnlr rmtn ih*m thlnffg wherein she was happy. He knew thai it was non« of his business, but, somehow, after «11, it seemed his fight. ' He would run a bluS for Esmerelda. • .- "Oh* the girl that's i e a / s got the papers, all right, Jim/' he said, "She* got the papers. Besides, she's told me all abopt it, an' I know it'a on the square. There ain't nobody got no rlghta to this claim but Esmerelda Brown." Now, Jim Tipton was a man of strong opinions himself, and was of an inquiring turn of mind, needing to have proof for any assertion made with such confidence. Tbe bluff didn't work, and before Bill could interfere he bad turned to Esmerelda and asked to see the papers. Esmerelda, being truthful, at once said the papers were in a safe-deposit vault back in Iowa. "Bill," Jim said, "this ain't my funeral, but 1 reckon this girl ain't got no papers, and Mrs. Tlbbets has. So this here girl's got to go." Bill felt his hair raise. This was too much. First because he feit himself to be Esmerelda's only champion, and, second, because Esmerelda's word had been doubted, whjch was beyond endurance. Big as he was, and, therefore, according to tbe rules of size, good-natured, he flashed out, like a piece of fuse that has been overdrled. "Got to go, has she? Well, not while I'm here, my bucko. She don't go till 1 say so, an' I ain't done none so much talkin' about it yet. I ain't a-huntln' trouble, but it's a-goin' to take an officer to show me why she's got to git off Number Three." He advanced as he talked, until he faced Jim, who stood bis ground squarely and unafraid. It's probable the war would have broken out then had not Mrs. Mirandy, with good Judg- Blll went to his cabin so full of trouble that be couldn't Bleep, and down in the camp Jim was entertained, by Mrs. Tlbbets until he was ready to die for her, if it came to a question of right and title. Two day*' *n»isiieo wont-by, B4U and Doc awaiting events and Jim puzzling his head over the advice of lawyers, who always wanted a little further time to look into the case, and used Latin terms which he couldn't understand. The next day he took a trip to his own claim, but instead of working, crawled up on the ridge to see what was doing on Mariposa. Everything was as usual, the trees standing silent, the shadows crawling with regularity along the canon wall, and the big giant down below r' >ping and tearing away at the earth. This last was too much. Jim hurried back across tbe divide and then down to the camp, where, on the following day, he expostulated with the lawyers. "I tell you," he said, banging his fist on the nearest table, "this law game's all right, but it ain't the way to handle a feller or a woman, either, that's jumped a claim." "Easy, easy," urged the lawyer. "Easy be damned! Can't you see they're a-workin' the mine all the, time, and agettln' out pay while you're radgin' around here and doin' nothin'?" Then he tore madly out of the shanty, walked gloomily around the camp for a while, and decided to~t*Ik to his protegee. She bad taken to tears by this time, and that strengthened his resolution. He went to bed resolved that on the morrow he would end the law's delay, conduct the affair acooroTng to his own' codeT and force a settlement. It was barely daylight when he rode up the Mariposa trail, followed out and be saw his antagonist still unhurt, be cursed bis luck and turned back down the trail, knowing that in a mere physical contest he would be no match for that giant above, who was also hurrying to his cabin for more cartridge*. So the war ended that day, and Jim went under tbe camp surgeon's care to wait until bis wounded arm healed. Four days of waiting passed on Number Three, in which time Bill carefully cleaned up his rifle each "morning, and passed the day with Doc, who was a trifle iaconvenienced from the effects of the bullet which had glanced along his skull but had brought no more serious injury. Then the mail came, bringing with it the missing deed for the property duly signed, attested and recorded back in Iowa, and Bill felt greater confidence. This was broken in upon by the sheriff. It was well along in the afternoon when the officer arrived with a posse sufficient to make It interesting for the most desperate man in tbe range, and by his side triumphantly rode Jim Tipton, with MB arm in a sling. Bill grinned maliciously at this evidence of his marksmanship, and with a nonchalant air chewed a pine-spill as the posse came to a halt in front of the cabin. "Bill," the Bheriff opened, "1 think you're on the wrong trail. I've come up here with the papers from the court, and if you want to see it I've got the deed givin' this Number Three to the Widder Tlbbets. Guess you'll have to hike." Bill's expression of confidence waned, and be thought of his gun. "Deeds, deeds," he growled, In a surprised tone. "If you've got a deed, Hank, I'd like to see it. We've got one, too." It was the officers' turn to be sur- One noon when the sun was shining, in the summer-time, and dust was on the trails, the stage from Burdlck came rattling along and dumped out a woman together with several boxes and bundles, and she wasn't the kind the'camp knew. She didn't looft as if she cared for dancing. She talked fo^'a minute with the proprietor of the\Falace Hotel, which really wasn't a palace, and he called Bill Thomp- •Ofjtvover from where he bad been thogwlng supplies on the back of a mountain buckboard he always had wlfjen getting an outfit. tBill," he said, "this Is Miss Kstne; r-elda Brown. She's bought Numbef,; Three, on Mariposa, and is goin' to the a neighbor of yours. Can't you fe her a lift up the gulch?" jilt wasn't much of a ladies' man, at first didn't like the job; but she. put out her hand and gave him one of those smiles that a woman ne^y;. learns until she is at least thirty years old, and from that min utesBlre owned both Bill and the buck. board They drove away out through the shacks and tents and over the riverflat into the canon, and she talked and Bill said "Sho," or "Do tell," or anything else in the way of conversation that seemed polite and interesting; and before they had driven two miles be learned that she had sunk all her money in buying Number Three, had read in the Weekly Woman's Advisor, published at Page Center, Iowa, of how women made the best miners In tbe world, and so had come West to make her fortune. She was willing to stay till she made it, even if It •did take a couple of months. Bill thought probably It would take that long, anyway. He didn't tell her he had been mining for twenty years, and hadn't made it yet. They drove away past the flats, and op where the timber grows big, and fine, stately* and tbe farther they drov* (the more confidential ahe got And tilt more certain Bill was that sbe hart «oite a little to learn about the West. He tried to picture her in rubber boots holding the nozzle of a giant, but eomeboe? it didn't, seem to work, BrlLdidat l»*e_mucjLJMith-in. tbe Weekly Woman's Advisor, at least, net as much as she had. FiotNft when tbe sun was setting and tb*y ewung round a bend to the cabin on Nojnber Three, standing there eritb it* door closed and almost surrounded by big tamaracks, sbe seemed a little awed by the lonesomeness of k, and tbe only comforting thing be osoid offer was that his cabin vail just "up tbe gulch a little farther." Tfcen sbe reciprocated by Inviting bint to corns back down for dinner, and be, being polite, accepted. Besides, be was hungry. When sbe first came up on the big beak above tn* cut aid watched n i l swinging the nose of the hydraulic toward tbe face, or shifting tbe muck off bed-reck at tbe.bottom. It seemed very'fmev Tbe swirling of tbe water and fU*oase;je*b which beyh*«died tt appeal** to her, as sbe sat down-to a ctj|mp. of wil* daisies, be* It srnaoV ealli-beoame borne ra upo* bar that I't exactly woman's wort; «au tbe editor of the Advisor. 4a •inspiring editorial, bad counher sealers to- Take tbeir tree world" Sbe *»**£*&> and look lively! I'm Mrs. Mirandy Tibbetp, and I've " bought Number Three gold mine on a river called the Mariposa. Take them things inside till I find some one who ain't too lazy to take me up to my property." She was business, all right, and she knew woman's rights and Mrs. Pinkbam from A to Z. Sbe made folks step around lively, and, partly because he was afraid of her, and partly because he didn't want to work, the landlord "slutted her off" on Jim Tip ton. She started in to boss Jim from the minute she met him, but he wasn't the kind to be bossed. He sized her up critically, and decided, as he afterward said, tbat if she were "well halter-broke and taught not to tangle her picket-rope, sbe wouldn't be a bad one to own." So he called her down. • "Look here. Mrs. Mirandy," he Bald, with his soft drawl, "I don't know nothin' about wimmen's rights, nor none of them things, so don't give me none of your guff on that line, You ain't got no soft snap buttin' up agin' you. There's a woman a-workin' Number Three now, an' she says she owns it. Bf you've got the goods, it's your'n. Ef you ain't you've been bunked, an' somebody's peddled you a brick. Now. let's git down to. business." ' ' That took her down some. She looked at Jim for a minute, as if *a* thought of sicking the dog on him, ut he didn't look tbe kind to be afraid. They stared into each other's eyes for about a moment, and from then on she belonged to James Tipton: She was a widow, and underood men. After that they got on amicable terms, and It wasn't very long until Jim was involved in all the trouble about Number Three. He pacified her as best be could, and told her that on the following day he would take her up to the claim and try to get the tangle straightened, out. Tbe sun was shining, the birds singing, and everything bright and gay, when they came up to Number Three on the following morning, heard the boom of the hydraulic, and tbe singing notes of a woman's voice, PPC was hard gt work, grumbling to. himself as usual, and BUI was just coming down tbe trail when the v^ai* tors arrived. It all looked peaceful and very little like war. "Morning'." said Jim, after stopping his horses,"-• " "Mornin*," answered Bill, coming to a halt and looking at them. He confessed after that he thought by the way Jim assumed proprietorship over the woman and the bulldog that be owned them both. Jim calmly climbed down from his backboard, after throwing tbe reins to Mrs.,Mirandy, and sauntered forward. Tbe singing inside the cabin bad stopped, and Esmerelds stood In tbe doorway, looking with wonderment on the meeting. Bin," began Jim, "there's somethin' bed about this deal out here on Three. This here woman wftb me Is Mr* Mirandy Tlbbets, and she's got a deed of sale tor this mine. She's come &t*rtLm • Bill stopped an Instant, agjbast. He recalled now that be bad never teen any papers conveying tbig claim to tttd swddenly tt sasbe etev i tbe i •V "B %TO0 ESMERELDY," HE S A I D , . A f ^ l f f g VOICE WAS HUSKY. "IT AIN'T TRUE. 18 IT?" ment, swooped down on Jim, pinioned his arms, and called a halt. "Don't pay DO attention to him," she said. "You just take me back to town where I can get at court, an' I'll show him something. I'll have the law on him--that's what I will." And Jim, being under her arms, and a4itUe surprised, and a little slow^ allowed himself to be tolled off to the buckboard and back to camp As tbe buckboard went wobbling off down the trail in a cloud of dust, Bill's big fists relaxed, and he turned toward the weeping girl In tbe doerway. "Esmereldy," be said, and hia voice was husky, "it ain't true, is it, that this woman beat you to it? You have got real papers, ain't you? You didn't let nobody skin you, did you?

He looked at the two papers agsin, and softly swore at the agent who had sold the property twice for the same amounts of money, and with different sets of witnesses. It was too much for him. "I reckon tbere ain't nothin' to do but to take both these documents back to the, court," he finally said, "but I don't think it's a square deal for you to keep your giants a-workin' on the bank.

Then came several days of waiting, , with nearly every one ia the camp / making bets as to which one of t b e / contestants would win out at tbe vm encounter, snd all expectant and 4rgumentative. The result ef this was that pretty nearly every man in Maripoaa batf taken sides, and was ready if it cam* to a final settlement,to enlist actively in the war. Sympathies were about evenly divided, and things were quiet at night because nearly all the partisans were busily engaged in the back ends of tbeir cabins cleaning np> their weapons, It promised to bowarm. Both Jim and the widow had disappeared from the rude public gaze, and were said to have gone to Burdlck to consult other lawyers. Bill was reported te be too busy nursing Doe and guarding Number Three to appear in the camp; and only the bulldog was left to howl dismally in an improvised kennel until, his mlstreaa should rail for him. And ia the meantime the lawyers were busy, and fussy, and important, most of them being very young meal or very old men who bad come to the West because their talents didn't seem to be In demand elsewhere. The break came unexpectedly/ A man cm horseback, partisan or the Bill-E?merelda faction, pulled/up one afternoon in front of Bill's cabin and hailed. Bill came to the/door and peered out, his fingers clatched on sr rifle-barrel behind the door until ho could recognize the character of reception awaiting him./ "Bill," the rider said, throwing one leg over the pommel \pf his saddle and dexterously rolling\a cigarette, "Jim's back from up at Burdlck, but he ain't got nothin' to say. He jest naterally came In on the stage with> that widder of hls'n, acted grouchy aa usual, and pulled out with her for hia claim over on Goldpan."

This was the limit. Bill walked up and down and thought out a solution which resulted in a trip to camp by (he now recovered Doo on the following morning. It was late on the following evening when Hill, contented and whlsfr. ling, his mind made up, crashed through the brush on the hillside of Goldpan, and came cautiously down Ipio the flat in front of Jim's cabin. He was wise as to the frontier, and being on an errand of peace, came unarmed and ostentatiously whistling; and swinging his idle hands. Jim saw him, made a quick reach for his gun, and then slowly dropped his fingers away at the evident signs of amity. He advanced to meet hia enemy, and waited quietly for him to approach within speaking distance. "Hello, there, Jim," said Bill, and. without waiting for a return of hi* salutation, continued: "I've got noshoot In'-Irons on my belt and no 111- will in my head. I've come to be> friends with you, Jim, if you'll let roe," Jim paused a moment and peered) at him from under hia heavy gray eyebrows, and then, as-it satisfied, extended his hand, which was tightly gripped. They stood awkwardly for a moment, each waiting for words* and then Bill continued. "I come to tell you I don't want tbe Number Three if I've got to fight for it, You can tell the widder she. can have it.

And, it may be added, for all that the people of the republic take a keen interest in invention as becomes the greatest inventive nation on the globe, very few of our citizens have any intimate knowledge of the machinery which the federal government maintains „• for examining inventions and granting patent?.. This ^comparative ignorance of the facilities and methods of the government institution that devotes Itself to inventions Extends even to a majority of inventors themselves—the hundreds of thousands of men and women who are either - engaged 4&-inventive work today or have, at some time in the past, exercised their nimble brains in an effort to devise something that would be v Jan Improvement upon the existing state or 'things. That even interested parties are thus in the dark is due to the fact that the patent business of the country is largely In the hands of 'attorneys—special lawyers who devote themjeelves exclusively to this line of practice. Nine men out of ten who evolve an invention and desire jto have it patented soon come to realize that the operation is an intricate one, requiring special (knowledge, and so they turn the work over to {some one of these go-betweens and have nothing more to do with the matter until they get the coveted parchment a year or two years hence and pa#.()^e bill, which may be 375 or $100, if clrcum- 4 8t»ncef~,warrant, for you know getting a patent is not e^Actly a cheap operation.

This Institution has for many years past occupied a portion of the building of the department of the interior at Washington and since the volume of inventions pouring In to be considered as candidates for patents has steadily Increased year by year it has naturally followed that the present quarters are hopelessly inadequate. In order to make room the authorities a few years ago arranged to get rid of the theag&nda of original models of old inventions which had accummulated In the days when it was necessary to send a working model as well as.drawings with an application for a patent. But this was by no means a complete solution for the problems. The patent office must needs file and keep on permanent record the papers in every patent case, and these have been piling up at such a rate in recent years that it Is a grave problem how and where to store them In such fashion that they can readily he brought to light when needed for reference—- as in the case of the lawsuits .that are always growing out of patents on fnvenUQjUt. „...„ However, there are other branches of our national government that need new buildings just as mnch as does the patent office, amMhis brings us to"tno'novel argument that Is being advanced in behalf of the patent office being granted a new home In advance of all others. It Is being pointed out to congress that the patent office is one government institution, and almost the only one, that Is self-sustaining. For other activities Uncle Sam has to go' down In his pocket, or rather the people do through the medium of taxes. I& maintaining the patent office, however, the inventors and they alone "pay the freight" What' is more, not only la this bureau for inventors self-supporting, but it actually returns a profit, or in other words, it has oh hand a surplus at the end of each year after all expenses have been paid. This net surplus has been piling up in the United States treasury until it now amounts to about 17,000,000, and ft is this money-, or such part of it as may be necessary, that it is desired to have expended for a jBejR*Jnftldlng for the patent office. As is well known, we Americans are the greate* t nation of inventon in the world. About a miiUQtf United States patents have been granted, , the, aggregate number of foreign patents by all4 foreign countries combined has f t b ttate to only about two million pat> e*ts.

Next comes the District of Columbia and then California, Washington, Nevada, Colorado and other western states. The present commissioner of patents, Mr. Edward B. Moore, Is one of the ablest administrators who has ever been at the head of this branch of the government. It has been his aim and ambition to expedite in every manner possible the examinations of all applications for patents presented— thereby enabling the quick issuance of patents whose novelty if not validity can in time be guaranteed by the government. This will do away with the criticisms of the patent office for its "slowness" in passing upon patents, and it will also do away with a large amount of the litigation which now devolves upon inventors by being drawn Into, suits for Infsingmenta, etc. In line with these improved methods there is now in progress a "classification" of all the material in the patent office. This means the systematic classification of all the material through which the patent office's expert examiners have to search when - they are passing upon the applications of inventors. When this vast accummulation of data is arranged for ready reference It will enable the Issuing of patents more quickly after applications are- received than has ever heretofore been possible and, more important ^et, it will give to every patent issued a greater guarantee of validity than Is possible now when such a document is issued following what may eventually be proven to have been/an incomplete "search," in which the examiner Inadvertantly overlooked or failed to find an earlier patent on a similar invention. The work of* the patent office is carried on through the medium of some #alf hundred different divisions, each devoted to some one class of inventions, such as carriage and wagons, or firearms, or harvesters, or typewriters. At the head of each of these divisions is a principal examiner who is a specialist In his particular field, and ha is assisted by one or more experts who have made a life study of the particular section of the inventive field to which they are assigned. Many of these men- have been in their, present positions for twenty or thirty years and have at their finger tips everything connected with the history and development of invention in their espectlve spheres, and yet Uncle Sam gets the services of these experienced anthorities for salaries that in most cases do not exceed $1,800 to $2,000 por year. In each division there is a force of clerical workers who file the drawings which must be n/esented with evsfy patent appUeatlon la lien of the small working models which*.were once required. These clerical, workers also, have to , stamp the date, and hoar of the reeeipt of e m r ; > jwre/t? o&ycs ' patent application, and this little detail often becomes » matter of the greatest importance when two or more men discover the same invention at ubout thff same time. Indeed, in the case of certain of our most valuable inventions, such as tiie telephone, more than one man hit on the ~TcIc7T STnTuTtaneously, but the wealth that lay in wait for the lucky inventor went to the man who won in^the race to the patent office. It is because of this keen rivalry that inventors all over the country are welcoming the present movement to issuo patents more quickly. In days gone by inventors have in some instances had to "mark time" for years before they could get their patents, and this not only did an injustice to the inventor and to the workmen who might have been employed meanwhile in manufacturing the new product, but it also deprived the public at large of the benefit of new discoveries designed to benefit it In one way or another. In an average year there are upward of twice RS many applications for patents as are granted. Some of the thing3 upon which patents are sought are not patentable, and in many instances it is a case of "another fellow found it first." The patent office officials tell many really pathetic stories of men In fsolated localities who have devoted years of hard work to working out some invention— ignorant all the while that some other person had gone over the same ground, worked out the invention and secured a patent, perhaps many years before. The number of new patents keeps well ahead of the number of patents that expire, the latter totaling in the ordinary, year not more than two-thirds as many as theVe are new patents issued. One hundred to two hundred patents are also reissued each year. Each applicant for a patent must pay to the government a fixed fee of $35, but if his application is made through an attorney—as is the case in most instances as above explained—-the total expense ere an inventor secures his coveted protection on his brain-child is lively to he at least double the amount of the fee. It is sometimessaid that our American' patent ivstem fa not so effective as Is that in vogue in Germany, but certain it is that Uncle Sam's patent machinery has been the indirect means of returning greater wealth to Inventors than has been attained by the patrons of any foreign patent establishment Incldently it may be noted that there is a disposition on the part of all the leading nations of the world to get together on patent matters and to work in harmony in the issuance of patents, indeed, in late years, one of the most Important duties of the United States commissioner of patents has been that represented by negotiations in connection with international treaties on this subject, and seldom a year goes by that he does not visit one or more foreign countries In the effort to bring about a better understanding between nations on this score.

A Preaching Cross Restored. .The preaching cross in-the-village o f Burrington, situated amid romantic surroundings on the northern side of the Mendip hills, has, by the generosity of Col. Evan H. Llewellyn, been restored. It is recorded that early in 1805 the handsome fifteenth century base of the cross—all that then remained of it—was renioved and utilized in building a new house for the then parish clerk. Happily, the ornamental dial stone did not share the same fate, and this has been incorporated into its original position in the new cross. Three broad and, massive steps carry the old socket upon which rests a tall monolith shaft, which is crowned by one of those lantern-shaped ennupitm no peculiar to the west country.—From the London Standard. ^ Made Safe by Lydia E.

Fire swept, smoke strewn and water drenched, Xew York state's magnificent $27,000,000 capitol in Albany stands a partial wreck by flames that started in the assembly library, burned away the entire west wing and did damage estimated at ten million dollars, before the flames were declared under control, after raging for more than four hours. It is belived that the fire was started by a fused electric push button becoming electrified. The fire was discovered by a night watchman. Before the firemen reached the massive structure at the top of the capitol hill, priceless documents, books and records stored in the assembly library had been destroyed, as was also the famous million dollar staircase in the west wing. Starts on Third Floor. On the third floor, where the flames gained their start, the departments wholly or partially destroyed by fire or seriously damaged by water were: The state library, containing 400,000 volumes, among them the most valuable" genealogical" works in the United States, together with relics, priceless documents, some of them dating back to 1770, and irreplaceable. The assembly and senate libraries, stored with documents of volumes of law and code books, al§o a number of documents and manuscripts that can never be replaced. The finance committee room, in which were stored drafts of all the appropriation and other bills, of the present session. . The chamber of the president pro tem of the senate. The lieutenant-governors room, badly damaged but not wrecked. The senate and assembly chambers both flushed with water that has ruined their rich furnishings, and the ceiling of the latter hanging in wasted, and straggling shreds of half dissolve^- paper, This celling with its handsome! a&ornment is said to have cost a great sum and was one of the show sights of the capitol.

State Commissioner of Education Andrew S, Draper stated that the state library contained 000,000 volumes, 400,000 pamphlets and 300,000 historical manuscripts. Two years ago Commissioner Draper transferred from the state library proper to the safe in his office on the first floor the original emancipation proclamation, the original of Washington's farewell address, the original manuscript of the state constitution and 15 or 20 of the other priceless manuscripts, as well as all of the "Washington relics. These were all removed from the building to a place of safety when the fire started. Commissioner Draper said that most of the manuscripts that have been lost were original documents and cannot be replaced, r The early Dutch records were lost. Of the books on the state library shelves which can be duplicated In the open market today, such duplication would cost, according to Commissioner Draper, $1,- 500,000, but, he says, the other books and manuscripts, lost, because of their being rarities, are priceless.

PROMISES TO HEED GRIEVANCES OF THE PEOPLE—READY TO REFORM JUDICIARY SYSTEM. Will Fix It So That Alt Reasonable Complaints of t h e People Shall Be Heard. The principle of no re-election for the president and other executive functionaries and effective reformation of the judiciary, and the electoral laws demanded by the rebels, were conceded in the message of President Diaz t o congress. Reforms touching the power of local and state authorities also were promised. After reviewing at length the progress of the nation during the last six months and more briefly the events leading up to the rebellion and its progress, the message continued: "Recent expressions of public opinion on vad'His questions of governmental policy have attracted general attention, and for this reason the executive deems fit to make known the measures which he believes ought to be adopted and the views by which he will, be guided in his endeavors to warrant the confidence which the country has reposed in him. "The change of ministry just effected _aims, for example, • at satisfying in practice one general aspiration, which is that the political personnel be renovated from time to time. "Furthermore, measures will be taken that will demonstrate a firm purpose to give heed to reasonable complaints made against the authorities, especially those who are in closest touch with the people. "It is to be hoped that in this policy the federal government will be seconded by the governors of states, which, by reason of the administrative Instrumentalities dependign on their,, are better able to remedy the o*t\ in question.

Gen. Diaz paid a high tribute to the Mexican soldiers. Peach Parasites Cost $3,000,000.

THE LEGISLATURE ITS T H E LEGISLATURE HAS DEFINITELY DECIDED TO ADJOURN ON APRIL 19. LEGISLATION IS BEING RUSHED THROUGH AT TREMENDOUS SPEED IN AN EFFORT TO ACCOMPLISH SOMET H I N G . Representative Fitzgibbons' Long Expected Unit Bill Promises a Merry Fight Between "Wet" "Dry" Force*. and The cided By L. C. Ward. To Adjourn on April 19. legislature has definitely deto adjourn on April 19, the house having passed the senate concurrent resolution fixing that date. The resolution occasioned considerable of a battle in the house as a number of the members objected to it on the ground that practically no important legislation had been passed and that fixing the date of adjournment now meant that many important matters would have to be neglected. House Now Working Feverishly. As a result of the fixing of the date of adjournment the house has at last got down to business and is really accomplishing something, although at the same time proper attention is now being given to many bills of importance. Legislation is being rushed through at tremendous speed and -flaw* in bills Jirc being ignorod In-theanxiety of the members to accomplish something before the legislature adjourns.

The long anticipated unit bill, which changes the unit of the submission of the local option question from counties to townships, villages and citleB, has been introduced in the house by Representative Fitzgibbons, of Port Huron, and there promises to be a merry fight over it as the Anti-saloon league is strongly against the measuse. Many drys Hre for it, however, as the bill would enable townships and villages In counties which have big cities to vote dry where they are now kept wet by the big1 city. Under the same reasoning it would enable cities which have expressed a desire to remain wet to do so instead of being vuied dry by the county outside of the city. The Anti-saloon league is against the bill because it would practically do away with tire collecting of money in large sums to fight for prohibition. However, wherever the sentiment, of a community was really dry the proposed law would work out well and where such a sentiment exists it la also easy to stop the sale of liquor, something that cannot be done where the sentiment is really wet as Is the case in a number of cities which were voted dry by the country votes. Tonnage Tax Dead Again. The tonnage tax was buried again in the Senate this week. After apparently having passed away it was revived by the pressure voX the grange irxt the taxation xTJiftrnm** of the •Senate reported ft out with the recommendation that it not pass. Senator Moriarty then moved that all consideration of the measure be indefinitely postponed and this carried by a vote el' 19 "to 13. The Democrats ull voted against thia motion aB they wished to pass the bill and put it up to the governor for signature in the hopes of making political capitaj out' nt the situation. They figured that' if Gov. Osborn signed the measure that he would lose all chance of eupnort in the mining regions again and that if he vetoed it that he would lose all his grange following. Some of the Republican Senators were in on the deal at first as they were anxious to embarrass the governor, but when they realized that it was all ammunition for the Democrats they refused to stand with the bill. After Unlicensed Insurance Companies. Insurance Commissioner Palmer Is after the insurance companies which are not authorized to do business in Michigan, but which evade the law. He has had introduced in the Senate a bill making it a felony for an adjuster of an unlicensed company to come into Michigan to adjust a loss and in order to accurately tab the companies which are violating the law Rep. Leonard has Introduced a bill which amends the corporation acts so that each corporation which files a report with the secretary of state must file with it a statement of what fire insurance it carries and with what companies. This will enable the insurance department to ascertain what companies are doing business in Michigan unlawfully. Suffragette Speaks to Legislature. _Miss_gyivania -Eankhun lish suffragette who attracted attention a year or so ago by being arrested for landing a short arm jab on a prime minister or for some such playful trick, addressed the legislature in behalfof woman's suffrage on Friday. She IB on a lecture tour of the country and was induced to stop off at Lansing on motion of Rep. Flowers, the champion of woman's rights. Fraternat Insurance Bill Passes. The Ashley fraternal insurance bill which brings fraternal societies under the jurisdiction of the insurance department and which also provides for gradually bringing all fraternal insurance to the same basis as old-line insurance in the matter of stability was passed by the House. It is up against a tough time in the Senate, •however, as U in otrongly opposed by some insurance companies, Osborn for a Second Term. In a letter to a friend written several days ago, Gov. Osborn practically admitted that if there was a demand for him to run again that he would be a candidate in 1912. In the letter, which was in answer to one inquirin his attitude, he says that he is no a candidate but with reference to a demand by the people that he will "cross that bridge" when he comes to it. This is taken in Lansing to mean that the governor will undoubtedly be a candidate for another term and as a result the prospective candidates who have been figuring on getting Into the race are up in the air. Governor 8tgns Tax Bill. Gov. Osborn has signed the Lord bill which gives back to the state tax commission the powers it enjoyed before 1905, This means that t h e hoard will take up the matter of reviewing the entire state for the purpose of putting all the general property on the saffie footing.

It Is bracked by pr»c tically all the big fraternal insurance companies and Insurance Commie- •loner Palmer, but It Is being opposed by a number of Insurance societies doing business in Michigan. Representative Leonard's bill In the house providing for the abolition of the state weather bureau and Representative Ogg's bill providing for the abolition of the state board of mediation and arbitration have passed the house. Senator Wstktns proposes to protect in some measure the blue gills and sunflsh which are annually taken out of the lakes and streams ta vast numbers.

The Fitzgibbons unit bill, which changes the unit of local option from the county to the township, village and city, has received unexpected support. The Grand Rapids Herald, the personal organ of Senator Willlam Alden Smith, is out with an endorsement of the bill, in which it declares absolutely for the smaller unit of submission a,s the only true solution of the liquor problem. Military Bill Recalled. The fnilitary bill passed the House but it wn-s.mecessary to reconsider the action because it was found that through an error the office of adjutant- general had been abolished. This cannot be done because the office is recognized by the war department as the office through which to transact business with the state. To Mark Fruit Packages. The Verdler bill which compels the seller of all fruit to plainly stamp on the box or crate the exact quantity contained has passed the House. The farmers were for the measure because they said that retail dealers frequently buy fruits In bulk and then sell them in short measure boxes and make an additional profit. Regents Want Appropriations, Regents Codd, of Detroit; Beal, of Ann Arbor, and Clements of Bay City were in Lansing this week laboring with the members of the legislature for the appropriations which are asked by the University of Michigan. They held a long conference with Gov. Osborn, but they are np against a hard proposition because the plan is to cyt down all appropriations except those absolutely needed for the maintenance of the state institutions A Referendum Bill. The House has used the referendum on legislation for the first time since the adoption of the new constitution, which provides that the legislature may put any measure It sees fit up to the voters. The referendum was taked. on to the fraternal insurance bill and, if the Senate conc HI*J*r UkJ*i e H o u *«i t n e measure win be submltteoTto fte people at the next election. Communities of less than 50,000 will have school buildings built along sanitary and modern lines as a result of the hill of Senator Putney passed by the senate. The bill provides that the superintendent of public instruction and the secretary of the state board of health shall have supervision over the erection of an such institutions. Rep. Ball's bin. which provides for a state fire marshal, has passed the House. This is a measure advocated by Governor Osborn and it is believed will greatly reduce the fire losses in the atate. Senator White's bill compelling supervisors to make annual reports of the financial condition of their township* has paaaed the Senate. Senator Miller's bill which authorizes the persons Of one township to use the public library and reading room of another township has passed the committor of the whole. END OF M DIAZ REGIME IS SEEN £3 BARRA, MEXICAN AM BASS ADOR T o U. S., W I L L HEAD MEXICO'S NEW CABINET. BIDS HASTY F A R E W E L L TO P R E S I D E N T T A F T — T O T A K E CHARGE OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS. De Barra Is Expected to Heal the Breach Between Mexico's Warring Factions. Francisco de la Barra, Mexican ambassador to the United States, was named minister of foreign relations of the Mexican cabinet by President Diaz. Immediately after telegraphing his acceptance to Mexico City Senor de la Barra went to the White House and informed President Taft. The president expressed pleasure at the ambassador's appointment and congratulated him warmly. As the ambassador has decided to leave for Mexico City, the president bade him farewell, giving him a picture, nt himself autographed with a salutation of personal regard. Senor de la Barra also called upon Secretary of State Knox and informed him of the appointment. Mr. Knox congratulated the ambassador and bade him godspeed. The beginnng of the end of the old Diaz regime in Mexico, it is believed has come in the resignation of the "eTTttfenoa^elfitrSrsBTproT the presidentiaT cabinet. Whether Gen. Diaz hns forced out his advisers because they were unwilling to accept his policy in dealing with the revolutionary troubles, or whether they have themselves taken the initiative in order to enforce en him their protest against his attitude, is not clear. Advices from Mexico are meager, but conclusive as to the main point., There is reason to believe that the vigorous old man, who has made his Iron personality the entire government of Mexico for three decades, has himself taken the initiative. Diaz is the last man, in the opinion of those who have studied his personality and history, to weaken before any opposition. He believes that the mailed fist is the one administrative instrument for handling such a people "a"y lh« Mexicans, and has never faltered in employing it. Japan's Emperor Writes to Taft. President Taft was~areeply gratified to receive from the emperor of Japan a message warmly reciprocating the president's expressions of good will and friendship toward Japan made to the Japanese ambassador, Baron XTchida, several days ago, Baron Uchida called at the White House and delivered in person the emperor's message. President Taft has been extremely anxious to set at rest the various reports of dfferences between this country and Japan, especially with reference to the mobilization of troops in Texas, He declared the other day that he was at a loss to understand the motive behind such "malicious and baseless stories." He sent for Baron Uchida to express this sentiment to him and to ask that be convey the message to the emperor. Militia Measure Passed In House. The National Guard bill passed the house on the third reading and now goes to the senate. The chances for it in that body are good and as it is one of the measures that Gov. Osborn Indorses in his inaugural message there is only a question of time wheh (t will be a law. With its enactment into a law the guard will cease to be top-heavy with brigadiers and colonels. In the house Monday afternoon Hep. Graves of Adrian, a civil war veteran, tried to amend the bill In several particulars but failed. The measure is fortunate in having as Its sponsors in the house two National Guard majors, Rep. Gansser of Bay City and Stewart of Grand Roplds. In the senate it will be looked after by Senator Collins, who Is also a Nab lonal Guard officer. Government Plekt Wireless 8tatlon. The powerful wireless telegraph station of the navy, capable of communicating with naval vessels 2,000 and possibly 3,000 miles distant from Washington, will be erected at Fort Myer, Va., just outside the national capital. This high powered plant will he designed to keep the headquarters of the American navy in close touch with the war vessels in the Atlantic ocean. Five Officers Go From Michigan. At the office of the general stafl of the >army it waa announced that five officers of the Michigan militia will be authorized,..to Mn the maneuver division at San ^ntonio, Tex. There will be one :,#eld[, officer and thtfee company officers ^ f infantry and one, offJeer of the medical corps not above the ranV. of ttiajor, to be named by the adjutantrseneral ol the state. The war department mere ly authorizes the number and grade of the officers and the arm of th« service from which they shall be taken, leaving the selection of the men to the state military authorities. Two hundred militia officers are authorized to join the maneuver division at San Antonio and 35 to join the maneuver, brigade at San Diego for a term of service of two weeks, beginning April 5. At the end of that time another detail will be authorized. Not more than 100 militia officers will be sent to the maneuvers at the expense of the national govern ment. Shrinkage In Demand for Wool. About two hundred members of the Michigan wool dealers association were In session in Lansing and among the various matters whifch were discussed was the shrinkage in demand and price which has been continued for the past year and a half. Out of the 12,000,000 pounds of wool grown in this state during the past year, prominent buyers estimate that nearly 1,000,000 pounds is yet in the hands of the Michigan dealers and that at least another million pounds is being kept by the growers, for higher prices. The slump in price Is attributed to the fact that on account of the high cost of living the people have not purchased as much clothing as usual and on account of the diminishment the price has necessarily been lowered. A Call for Recruits. Calls for six or .seven thousand T e U - ^ ^ l ^ I ^ g ^ cruits to bring the infantry regiments of the army mobilized in Texas and California up to full strength, have been sent by the war department to all the army recruiting stations iD the country.

He tries to get work and fails. A former college chum makes a business proposition to Howard which requires $2,000 cash, and Howard is broke. Robert Underwood, who had been repulsed by Howard's wife, Annie, in his college -days, and had once been engaged to Alicia, Howard's stepmother, has apartments at the Astrurla, and is apparently in prosperous circumstances. Howard recalls a |260 loan to Underwood, that remains unpaid, and decides to ask him for the $2,000 he needs.

"How does Annie take her social ostracism?" inquired Underwood. "Like a brick. She's a thoroughbred, all right. She's all to the good." "AH the same, I'm sorry 1 ever introduced you to her," replied Underwood. "I never thought vou'ri m*kn " * • ! -such a fooi of yourself as to marry—" Howard shook his head in a maudlin manner, as he replied: "I don't know whether I made a fool of myself or not, but she's all right. She's got in her the makings of a great woman—very crude, but still the makings. The only thing I object to Is, she insists on going back to work, just as if I'd permit such a thing. Do you know what I said on our wedding day? Mrs. Howard Jeffries, you are entering one of the oldest families in America. Nature has fitted you for social leadership.

Lying back on the sofa, he proceeded to make himself comfortable. "Two thousand dollars!" laughed Underwood. "Why,, man, I'm in debt up to my eyes." As far as his condition enabled him, Howard gave a start of surprise. <*Hard u p ! " he exclaimed. Pointing around- the room, fie said: "What's ail this—a bluff?" Underwood nodded. " A bluff, that's it. Not a picture, c o t a vase, not a stick belongs to me. You'll have to go to your father." "Never," said Howard despondently. T h e suggestion was evidently too much «for him, because he stretched out his hand for his whisky glass. "Father's done with me," he said dolefully, .•'•'He'll relent," suggested Underwoqd. t o w a r d ."/Shook-, his., head drowsily..

Af^he ranched the last verse his heaa-begao io nod. The words came Utfclfay from hts tips and he sank •lee^ly.back, among the soft divan . i S t at'tfiat moment the, telepione^ btU raD* Underwood..qiiicklfc; Djcfc& WboV thatf*. he asked: As he MX 9 0 I M eagerly: ' "Hgk JeffrU»-~ Sank SlCftpily ftfintr Arrtnnq tiu» Sqft Divan Pillowa. "Howard, wake up! confound l p ! You've got to get out—there's somebody coming." He shook him roughly, but his old classmate made no attempt to move. "Quick, do you hear!" exclaimed Underwood impatiently. "Wake up— some one's coming." Howard sleepily half opened his eyes. He had forgotten entirely where he was and believed he was on the train, for he answered: "Sure, I'm sleepy, Say—porter, make up my bed." His patience exhausted, Underwood was about to pull him from the sofa by force, when there was a ring at the front door. Bending quickly over his companion, Underwook saw that he was fast asleep, There was no time to awaken him and get him out o£ the way,'so, quickly, he took a big screen and arranged it around the divan so that Howard could not be seen. Then he hurried to the front d.oor and opened it. Alicia entered. CHAPTER Vil. For a few moments Underwood wnstoo much overcome by emotion to speak. Alicia brushed by in haughty silence, nbt deigning to look at him. All he heard was the soft rustle of her clinging silk gown as it swept along the floor. She was incensed with him, of course, but she had come. That was all he asked. She had come in time to save him. He would talk to her and explain everything and she would understand. She would help him in this crisis as she had in the past. Their long . friendship, all these years of intimacy, could; not end like this. There was still hope for him. The situation was not as desperate as he feared. He might yet avert the shameful end of the suicide. Advancing toward her, he said in a hoarse whisper: "Oh, this is good of you, you've Come—this is the answer to my letter." Alicia Ignored his extended hand and took a seat. Then; turning oh him, she exclaimed indignantly^ -You, -at- least, }- twThr answer shouH be a horse^ whip. How dare you send me such a message?" Drawing from her bag the letter received from him that evening, she demanded: "What do you expect to gain by this threat?" "Don't be, angry, Alicia." Underwood spok^ soothingly, trying to conciliate her. Well he knew the seductive power of his voice. Often he had used it and not in vain, bat to-night 'it fell on cold, indifferent ears: "Don't call me by that name," she snapped. Underwood made flo answer. He turned slightly paler and, folding, his arms, just looked at her, in silence. T h e r e was an awkward pause. A$rlaa); she aajd: '' |"i,hope you understand that everything's over between,<vs. Our acquaintance la **>*« en**." _.. _ T . . _ . _ - , "My feelings toward yon can never t h * anawef bia fa(^ lit up an<f chafage;'* r e l i e d Underwdod earnest- "You love no one but yourself." Underwood advanced nearer to her and there was a tremor in his voice as he said: "You have no right to say that. You remember what we once were. Whose fault is it that I am where I am today? When you broke our engagement and married old Jeffries to gratify your social ambition, you ruined my life. You didn't destroy my love—you couldn't kill that. You may forbid me everything—to see you—to speak to you—even to think of you, but I can never forget that you are the only woman I ever cared tor. If-^you had married me, I might have been a different man. And now, just when I wane you most, you deny me even your friendship. What have I done to deserve such treatment? Is it fair? Is it just?" Alicia had listened with growing impatience. It was only with difficulty that she contained herself. Now she interrupted him hotly: i. "I broke my engagement with ygu because I found that you were deceiving me—just as you deceived others," "It's a lie!" broke in Underwood. "I may have trifled with others, but I never deceivtd yoij." Alicia rose and, crossing the room, carelessly inspected one of the pictures on the wall, a study of the nude; by Bouguereau. "We need not go into that," she said haughtily. "That is all over now. I came to ask you what this letter-—this threat—means. What do you expect to gain by taking your life unless I continue to be your<fricn.d? How .can I be a friend to a man like you? You know what your friendship for a woman means. It means that you would drag, her down to your own level and disgrace her as well as yourself. Thank God, my eyes are now opened to your true character. No self-respecting woman could afford to allow her-name to be associated with youre. Yowrare as incapable of disinterested friendship as you are of common honesty'." Coldly she added: "I hope you quftS understand that henceforth my houSe is closed to you. If we happen to meet In public,it must b e as strangers." Uqderwood did not speak. Words seemed to fail him. His face was set and white. A nervous twitching about the mouth Showed the terrible mental strain which the man was under. In the excitement he had forgotten about Howard's presence on the divan behind the screen. A listener might have detected the heavy breathing of the sleeper, but even Alicia herself was too preoccupied to notice it. Underwood extended his arms pleadingly: "Alicia—for the sake of auld lang syne!" "Auld lang syne," she retorted, "I want to forget the past. The old memories are distasteful. My only object In coming here to-nighl wa3 to make the situation plain to you and to ask you to promise me not to—carry out your threat td kill yourself. Why should you kill yourself? Only cowards do tbat. Because you are in trouble? ip the receiver, he hastily '4*van aud shook ly,* "1 loTeyou-^f ,«ball always love you'.** Alicia gave a little shrug of bar shoulders, expressive of utter Indiflerknown. < You are. still young. Begin life ovcrr again, somewhere el»e." Advancing toward him, the went on: 'If you will do this I will help you. I tttrer waa* to see you again, pot 111 -Lore!" she exclaimed mocktogty,|^aaL^taiak of yon aiiriadVk gttjbfrft* boi»f^~1feaftlBgtoft Sur you must promise me solemnly not to make any attempt against your life." "I promise nothing," muttered Underwood doggedly. "But you must," she insisted. "It would be a terrible crime, not only against yourself, but against others. You must give me your word." Underwood shook his head. "I promise nothing." "But you must," persisted Alicia. "I won't stir from here until I have your promise." He looked at her curiously, "If my life has no interest for you, why should you care?" he asked. There was a note of scorn in his voice which aroused his visitor's wrath. Crumpling up his letter in her hand, she confronted him angrily. "Shall I tell you why I care?" she cried. "Because_you_a^cusje_meJn_this_ 'letter~of"being the cause of your death —I, who have been your friend In spite of your dishonesty. Oh! it's despicable, contemptible! Above all, it's a lie—" Underwood shrugged his shoulders. Cynically he replied: "So it wasn't so much concern for me as for yourself that brought you here." Alicia's eyes flashed as she answered: "Yes, I wished to spare myself this indignity, the 3hame of being associated in any way with a suicide. I was afraid you meant what you said." "Afraid," interrupted Underwood bitterly, "that some of the scandal might reach as far as the aristocratic Mrs. Howard Jeffries, Sr.!" Hpr fr a flMahafl w^'h HMgAr. f 11"1'ri-j~Yo] paced up and down the room. The man's taunts stung heij to the quick. In a way, she felt that he was right. She ought to have guessed his character long ago and had nothing to do with him. He seemed desperate enough to do anything, yet she doubted if he had the courage to kill himself. She thought she would try more conciliatory methods, so, stopping short, she said more gently: "You know my husband has suffered through the wretched marriage of his only son. You know how deeply we both feci this disgrace, and yet you would add—" Underwood laughed mockingly. "Why should I consider your husband's feeling:,?" he cried. "He didn't consider mine- when he married you." Suddenly bending forward, every nerve ten.se>, he continued hoarsely: "Alicia, I toll you I'm desperate, I'm hemmed in on all sides by creditors. You know what your friendship—your patronage moans? If you drop me now, your friends will follow—they're a lot of sheep led by you—and when my creditors hoar of me they'll be down on me like a flock of wolves. I'm not able to make a settlement. Prison stares me in the face." Glancing around a t the handsome furnishings, Alicia replied carelessly: "I'm not responsible for your wrongdoing. 1 want to protect my friends. If they are-a lot of sheep, as you say, that Is precisely why I should warn them. They have implicit confidence In me. You have borrowed their money, cheated them at cards, stolen from them. Your acquaintance with me has given them the opportunity. But now I've found you out.. I refuse any longer to sacrifice my friends, my self-respect, my se'nse or decency." Augrily she continued: "You thought you could bluff mo. You've adopted this coward's way of forcing mo to receive you against my. will. Well, you've failed, I will not sanction your robbing my friends'. I will not allow you to sell them any more of your highpriced rubbish, or permit you to cheat them at cards." Underwood listened in silence. He stood motionless, watching her flushed face_aa_ahe heapad-reproaches o n Mm. She was practically pronouncing his death sentence, yet he could not help thinking how pretty she looked. When she had finished he said nothing, but, going to his desk, he opened a small drawer and tcok out a revolver. Alicia recoiled, frightened. "What are you going to do?" she cried. Underwood smiled bitterly. "Oh, don't be afraid. I wouldn't do it while you are here. In spite of all you've paid to me, I still think too much of you for that." Replacing the pistol in the drawer, ho added: "Alicia, If you desert me now, you'll be sorry to the day of your death." His visitor looked at him- In silence Then, contemptuously, she said: (TO m : COXTINTKD.) Sameness.

There they told mjS [ was just the man wanted . to handle a very ^peculiar c*ftjfe—the disappearance or one of oui leading American millionaires." With this introduction Manley snipped off the end of a fresh panetella, lighted the business end carefully, and then reeled off the following story: Col. Appleton Biddle, birdvof-prey, financial pirate, and freebooter, was floundering In deep water. Latterly he had bestowed the distinctive sunshine of his presence upon the moneyed circles of London, where he was ostensibly engaged in an endeavor to float sundry and idivers American swindles disguished as copper prospects, silver mines and on wells. But Col. Biddle's luck had failed of late, and he found himself in financial straits. Not tha<t lie was by any means "broke;" he could still lay hands on a few thousand dollars. * • % J sential—a "killing" which would enable him to retire and live respectably thenceforth .and forevermore. Two confederates were needed and found tn the persons of Tom Stoner and Sam Dragoo, a brace of American sharpers likewise down on their luck. These worthies Kiddle invited \o a quiet dinner on Sunday afternoon at his "little place" which was named *The Willows," near Mavlowton- Thames. The dwelling, liad formerly oeen the dower house of a much larger mansion, a ssafriar of a mile Sway, known as Maxtor manor, now Wf Danby DaUas» « s expatriatn. ha peexcse of time the lame* JHUI eeomne sequestrattSYsfcrent property, and was m rented separately, though only Jsst outside the park wall of the manor. To bts satellites Ool. Biddle outlined his plot. In brief, he had conceived the Idea of kidnaping the neighbor millionaire In his own house and holding him for a stupendous ransom! "Some time next week well turn the trick," said Col. Biddle, "about Friday or Saturday, according to circumstances. To show you bow easy it Is, remove your shoes and follow me." The chief conspirator brought forth a pocket electric lamp, saying: "You won't need your hats, boys." At the end of the lower hall he opened a door, which led to the cellar of the cottage. Proceeding to a disused wine bin at one end, lighted by the tiny spark in the torch he carried, the colonel pulled aside an empty crate,-seized a rusty iron ring in the floor, and raised a wooden trap. There was disclosed a short flight of stone steps, wet and gleaming with moisture In the rays of the light. "I stumbled on this quite accidentally;' explained the colonel, "and after a littts exploring the idea came pat Old country houses over here are £ujl of tfcete forgotten things, some of *»»','HiUng back hundreds of years, handy this must have been _ the good old times to those in •sj|g'.'fhffst up at the manor yonder— 1*» In*** where it leads to!

That's »three days ago, and we're not »a'bit wiser now than we were then! Ht's a most confounded mystery, however you look-at it! Mr. Dallas bated publicity and scandal above all things." 1 thought tit advisable to.look over the ground rn person at Mariow manor. All*over the house 1 went, upstairs, downstairs, and in my gentleman's chamber—the sulte< occupied by Danby Da lias. Result, nil. The trail was positively and absolutely blind, save for two curious facts which might or might not possess any siglater <on. The question la, win you come quietly and on your own feet, giving us .your parole to make mo disturbance, or must we go ftwther, ran- •der.you completely neipiees,-and'cai-1 >ry:you? We intend to do j*ou*&o p«rtonal injury, but you travel «wtth trs' Astanter. Understand? You hear .what -1 say, and you can -move your head. Nod if you mean "Ves;' shake your head if it's 'No.'" So saying the eoionel significantly held up to view •* bottle marked "Chloroform" and a sponge. Dallas was helpless—what' else could he do but nod an affirmative? Better -go wherever his captors Intended in possession of his senses than'Insensible and Inert. Hid die rose with a nod of satisfaction. "Blindfold him," he commanded Stoner, and when this was securely done, "untie his feet and take off his shoes." Then "Off with you, now; I'll tidy up and follow you." Their backs turned, Biddle in two strides reached the desk and the cheque-book of Danby Dallas. He took it out, fluttered its leaves until he came to the first blank page. This he deftly tore at the ;perforations,, and was thus in possession of five blank but consecutively numbered cheques on the London and Westminister bank. Then the colonel quickly restored the two cbalre 'to their places, gave a swift glanee around the room, and was at the <beels of the others in a moment, sliding shut the secret door, which fell into its groves with a faint click. <In>« few minutes all four were in the cellar of The Willows. Then up the ^cellar steps they proceeded, the blindfolded man being carefully guided and coached, into the hall, where a sort slouch hat was placed on his head, and out onto the lawn sloping to the nlflcance. Dallas' desk stood open, its pigeon-holes crammed with papers and letters, <& large chequebook in full view. "I'll have .a Jook at this," said 1, taking it out; "it may give us a clew." I turned to the last strip of used stubs—-there were five to a page—and noted the number. The next series of five stubs were completely blank, but all the correspondingly numbered cheques were missing! "That's queer," I thought. The other item consisted in the half-consumed stub of a fat black cigar rested on a corner of the mantel, which 1 carefully scrutinized, and then quietly confiscated. "What do you think about it all?" Kensett inquired, as we stood on the terrace after~thelr tour. "One of two things is certain," I answered. "Either Mr. Dallas walked out at the house of his own accord, and has left the neighborhood for some particular private reason, desiring his whereabouts to remain unknown; or else he had been lured away or abducted, and is being forcibly detained for some nefarious object!" '"He'd never do such a thing!" exclaimed Kensett. "It must be the other thing—he's been kidnaped! But how, and by whom?" "That's what I propose to find out," was my answer. Those missing cheques, with no stub entries, look suspicious to me—?your prospective father- in-law was a most methodical man. It may spell blackmail! But if the man is on earth—and he can't be very far away—il'H find him"' Now here is what .actually happened when Col. Biddies pretty plot was ripe: Danby Dallas was enjoying a beforebedtime cigar on a idJvan in bis large and softly-lighted -sleeping apartment. The clock in the stable turret had just •chimed the threerquarters after 11. Presumably all the household were In •their l«tle beds. Suddenly the millionaire rose on one elbow, and turned his head. He had been aroused by a sudden draft of cold and damp air which invaded the pleasant warmth of the room, and sent the smoke-wreaths from his cigar whirling cellingward. And this is what he saw: Beside his bed, the usual smooth and flawlesB expanse of polished old oak paneling reaching from floor to frieze had given place to a yawning black eartty the size of an ordinary doorway. In this aperture stood three men, the foremoat of whom had him covered with a very business-like revolver of the most approved pattern. ^Tbe two fellows In the background were similarly armed. "Hands up!" commanded the leader in the smoothest and silkiest of voices, the left thumb and forefinger, as Del las sprung to his feet in amazement. "Hands up, Mr. Dallas! I've got you covered!" Every American knows the meaning of those two magic -word*—rfhrhandi flew ^ b o w trtr shoulders* all ten digits extended. "What does this intrusion mean?" sputtered the astonished millionaire, "Silence, if you please," commanded our friend, Col. Biddle. "Business first; talk later."' Then, stepping aside, he motioned hit confederate* forward, saying: ' "Tie him up, boys!" Stoner and Dragoo came into the room, produced a cowboy's lariat, with which they proceeded to deftly and scientifically truie their victim by the ankles, elbows and wrists. "Gag him!" ordered Biddle. whereat a folded silk handkerchief waa securely tied over the Dallas mouth. Then a chair was placed behind the now helpless man, and be was gently but firmly pushed into a sitting posture, "So! All neat and shipshape," commaated Biddle, as he slipped the revolver into bis hip-pocket, deposited his cigar on one corner of the manUtiX0* JJf ^J*1 *?^**0 piece, and drew u p a second chair, In """" which he seated himself close to the prisoner. Speaking very quickly, but nose tbs lass distinctly, he said: "Now, Mr. Dallas, w# Are going to take you with na. tfo matter where t s or why ~ y W U leart all s g s * « • * i to a little wharf, where could be discheques and placing it on the little table. Danby Dallas filled in the dateline, the amount, affixed his name, and pushed the slip ef pinkish paper • across the narrow table. "And now," he said, rising, "1 suppose you have no further use for me, Mr. Biddle?" '^Uere you stay until this bit of paper goes .through the hank," respond- «d the colonel. Now the clews which I actually possessed in this -case were of the slenderest—only the butt of a half smoked cigar and the fact that some blank cheques were missing! Either or bo€h might prove valuable or worthless. The missing cheques might be acaounted for on the supposition that the millionaire had gone away of his own volition, taking them with him. Any bank in Europe would honor his signature for any conceivable amount. It might be possible to trace the man's movements through the cheques. The cigar stump presented a different problem. "The man who smoked that cigar," 1 thought, "probably knows more about the matter than anyone else. Wonder if 1 can find him? It's surely a big contract to undertake in that village they call l>ondon." But nevertheless I carefully wrapped the halfsmoked -stump In a piece of tissue paper and put it in my wallet. I also decided to make some inquiries concerning Col. Biddle in the "city" and among the American colony. At the United States consulate, and also at the American embassy the redoubtable colonel chanced to be well-known, and not too favorably. "A bad lot, sir!" said the consul, and brought 4beaa—'*eught to have been clapped hi Jail ly. *'By what right do you, a perfect stranger, expect me to answer such a q«ery as that? I don't know you, sir, and I must refuse, sir—unqualifiedly!" "I rather thought you would," I reioineC "Bui I'm going to a*k you to do something elre, and that is, don't honor any cheque bearing any of those numbers unless you are perfectly sure that it is presented in the course of legitimate business. "Quite impossible, my dear sir, I at sure you," was the emphatic answer. "The cheques of Mr. Dallas we shall be glad to honor for any amount —always provided, of course, that they are genuine." "Well, be sure they are genuine." 1 retorted as 1 turned to the door, and with this parting shot left Mr. Anderton. "So far honors are even," I thought. "'One success, one failure. Now for the jackal himself." Calling a hansom to the curb, I gave the address in Lombard street which the embassy had given as being the latest lair of Col. Biddle. I found the office easily enough—a suite of three rooms comfortably furnished. There was in the air an aroma of rich tobacco. "Col. Riddle?" I inquired of the office boy, who responded by nonchalantly motioning with thumb over shoulder, and a laconic: " 'E's in there." So I stepped through the middle room to the last of the series, literally following ray nose. The colonel himself, in the act of strapping a bulky portmanteau, rose to his full height and faced me, rather suspiciously. Col. Biddle, I presume?" "That's my name, sir." was the prompt answer. 'What can I do for yon?" H P marie nft.mnttnn t© s i t down long ago!" was the verdict <ef the oenned the outlines <st a long, lean .gray boat, setting so low in the water that .the gang-plank from dock to deck made a very slight incline. The latter gained, the captured millionaire was piloted below, led Id a tiny cabin lighted by an electric bulls-eye in the oeiting and with a single dead-light in the side. He was led to a fairly comfortable bunk, gag and blinders were removed, and while be was staring dazedly aronrtd, the doughty colonel stepped to the door, saying courteously: ~ - "Make s'ourself comfortable until morning, Mr. Dallas; we'll have some further conversation then" Biddle'a cue, you'll understand," continued Manley, "was to strike quickly. So next morning he interview the multimillionaire." Two hundred thousand pounds—a million dollars in round numbers— a half-consumed cigar poised between^ t ^ t ' s quite a lot of money, Col. Biddle," remarked Danby Dallas. **To me—yes," was the frank reply; "to you—poof—a mere bagatelle!" "And if I refuse to be bled?" in quired the multimillionaire quietly. "Some things may be purchased too dearly, you know." "No pr(ce is too great to pay for liberty and perhaps life," was the coloners grave response. "But you have not refused—you're going to take a sensible view of the transaction, Mr. Dallas, and give up like a sport" "But," said Dallas, "you surely do not imagine that I carry any such sum as two hundred thousand pounds in my vest pocket!4' "All arranged for, my dear sir," retorted Col. Biddle airily. "You've merely to sign a cheque. You bank at the London and Westminster, I happen to know." So saying, he produced the sheet of blank cheques which he had abstracted the night before. "Are you ready?" he queried, the light of unholy victory Is ayes and voice. "When the devil drives, you know," retorted the millionaire with a wave "Thanks for the compliment," bowed Biddle, ironically; "I've been called worse names In sty timer-but it's all; Is the game." While speaking, he produced a fountain pan and s blotter, American minister's secretary. Next, calling on a wholesale cigar dealer tn St. Mary Axe, I produced the precious cigar stub, saying: "Gould you tell me the name of that elgar and where It may be bought?" The expert took the "butt" to the light, smeiled it, and promptly answered : "That's a fine piece of goads, made In Cuba, and quite expensive. It's called 'La Madria'—what we term a perfecto. Costs a hundred shilling a pound—say ten guineas a bimdred —at retail. Would you like a boEV' "If you please," said 1, laying a tenpound note and half a sovereign on the counter. The box of cigars was brought, opened, and compared with the stub. Even the non-expert could perceive that in shape, color and aroma the two matched perfectly. Around each cigar was a gold band marked "LA Madria." My next errand was of a more delicate nature. In every move I realized that I must be very circumspect in my inquiries. Turning lnt» the Londojuthd Westminster bank on Fleet street I sent my card in to the manager, and was shortly ushered into an inner oflBce. "What can we do for you?" inquired a dapper little man with mouse-colored mutton-chop side-whiskers and a cleanshaven mouth and chin. "I wish to make an inquiry concerning one of your depositors—Mr. Danby Dallas, in fact," said I, going direct 1 to the point. "We are not in the habit of—" "Pardon me," I said quietly, 'I am aware that my request may seem quite out of the ordinary, but I beg you to believe that my motives are entirely honorable." "Why not apply to Mr. Dallas' solicitors?" "Because- they cannot give me the exact Information I require, "And that Is—?" said the manager suavely, matching the finger tips of either hand. "I wast to know whether you have cashed any checks signed by Mr. Dalit* Xor any asm. within the last few d m , lumbered between 1624 and 1630 Jsjaiasdve' oft one. the t >*l'v','i?^'"* %:-f ^fc^ ''i^^^h:ir*' ssrmer to his victim with right* my dear sir," began the v< r,- s a l t indignant- ^.^Miii^i himself, nor did he offer me a chair, instead: "I must ask you to be brief, as I am leaving town right off, and ray time is limited." As he spoke he turned and took from the top of his desk a lighted cigar, from which the smoke had been rising in blue spirals, and restored it to one corner ot his mouth. I could have sworn it was a La Madria!" ° "1 wished to consult you about some mineR in the States concerning which I am told you are an eipert. authority, Col. Riddle," I if'airi, dropping inio a chi;ir, thus compelling the adversary to do likewise. "My friends say I do know something about the subject," admitted the colonel modestly, "What's your proposition— gold, silver or copper?" "The latter—Montana," 1 answered lueuuUiully. "Are you buyer or seller?" inquired Hiddle. "Huyer," was the prompt reply — "That is, if everything is straight and the price is not too high. As to which I had hoped to be guided by your advice." "I'd be delighted to go into the proposition with you." .said the colonel, "at some time," his suspicions apparently allayed. "Do you smoke? Ye?? Try one of mine," handing out a cigar the exact mate of the four then reposing in my case!" "Can't you give me an early appointment?" I queried. "Not an hour to spare before next week," responded the colonel. I've just got back from a little—er— yachting trip; and I've got to make up for lost time!" There seemed to be more humor in this remark than the words warranted, and the. colonel threw back his head laughir^g heartily, showing a set of teeth with peculiarly square edges, displaying a gaping cavity in the left upper .jaw caused by the loss of two molars, Into this cavity, his merriment over, Col. Biddle carefully restored h!h cigar. I bad seen all I wanted. "Shall we say this day week, then?" I inquired nonchalantly, as I rope. "At your service," bowed the colonel. I rearhed the street in a ferment. The strange cigar-stub found in Dallas' room bore the imprint of exactly such teeth as were possessed by Col. Biddle. The dual proof of the brand of cigars and the teeth-marks were conclusive! Riddle and none other had been in Danby Dallas' chamber on the night of the millionaire's disappearance! But what to do with the information now that I had it wan the burning query. I could not have the man arretted on mere suspicion. However, much F might suspect, 1 could prove nothing—not even the fact that Dallas was absent other than by his own free will. But I could and would have him shadowed. Clearly it was time to take some one into confidence, so I drove to the Yeomanry club, where I hoped to find Sir George Kensett. Meantime Col. Biddle proceeded to catch the boat-train for Southampton and -Fafit to wait for things to "blow over." The great coup had been carefully planned and clever ly carried out With-Dallas' cheque deposited in the co'onel's bank, the transfer of the £200,000 followed. Recalling Dragoo and Stoner, and paying them off, left the colonel with free bands, and be rightly reckoned that Dallas would pocket the loss gracefully. - When 1 reached the club I found Sir George nowhere about. There was, however, said the porter, a man waiting to see him in tho strangers' room. You may imagine that Danby Dallas passed a dreary 24 hours after Biddle left him on the occasion ot the cheque-signing episode. His wants were regularly attended to, and his scanty meals served by the two men who had assisted in his capture. Torn by fits of impotent anger au the gross indignity which had been put upon him, chafing at the enforced inaction which kept him mewed up in the tiny cabin helpless and powerless, suffering under the confinement of the stuffy interior, the . millions! rs could neither sleep nor e a t managed to urabj$_-1he little e porthole, but e afforded mtrety a # . - * \ of the outer world. So far as h e could judge, the motor boat was moored in some quiet stretch of wa» ter, but he could form no Idea ae to his location. Although he kept his lace in the pnrthoie aa long a a day* light lasted in the hope of being able to bail some passing craft, eves thisslender hope failed as night descended. As a matter of fact the Stilette lay on the Kentish side of the river, near the mouth of the afedway. Ov the second morning a brilliant idea occurred to him. At dinner the night before his captora-had,served • pint of poor claret, and the halaemsty Bottle still stood on the table. He would use it to send a message to the outer world! Ripping a leal from his pocket memorandum book he wrote with his fountain-pen: "I am forcibly detained on a motor boat somewhere in the lower Themes, Come quickly to the rescue. "DANBY DALLAS* ; On the other side of the leaf h# penned these words: "Finder deliver this at once to Sir George Kensett, Yeomanry club, Pail Mall, London, and receive large reward. DANBY DALLAS." The slip of paper carefully rolled, he deftly inserted in the empty claret bottle, rammed the cork in tightly, tied a white handkerchief round the neck and quietly dropper it out of the porthole. Then be sat down to possess his soul in patient waiting. Two days passed. On the late afternoon of the second day something happened. Tbere were sounds on deck of tramping feet and the splash of a boat in the water alongside. With his eyes glued to the porthole Dallas distinctly saw his Jailers rowing sTfiarTiy '"shoreward? That night the* motor boat was silent and deserted,. and the electric lights were not turned on. The poor millionaire spent the hours iu hunger, cold and darkness, hopeless and helpless: Apparently bis, bottle-message bad gone out to seaunnoticed. But not so. The man whom I found) waiting at the club proved.to be a Thames waterman of the Gaffer Hexam type, plying the river. He had picked the bottle out of the water on an idle impulse, and knocked off itu neck, thus finding the message within. Half fearing that It might be a hoax, he made hfs way to the city by the first train. "ThiM will be about the best day's work you've ever put in!" I exclaimed. "How soon can you put me on the spot wftere you picked, th^H "P9' :i <y#i ..+¾ 'M :*F inside o' tnree hours If we ketches a last train to Krith. I picks it up jest off tii' powder works there." I had him by the arjn and into a cab... almost before he had done apeaking. Cannon street station on tho jump!" 1 cried to the Jehu, and in half an hour we were on a Southeastern express, "Where'g your boat?" I inquiied when we alighted at the Erith station. "Right 'ere, governor," was the n> ply. "We'll be aboard in arf a mo'." "Can yovi get a couple of stout fellows to help us?" .was the next query— There's ton pounds apiece for theirt and f>0 for you." "I'm your man," was the reply, "an* I knows t'h' right parties." As we struck- the shingle ol tho beach, Mr. Joseph Covdell, as the worry-man described himself, whistled twice with his fingers between his teeth, and immediately there lose as though out of the water a couple of amphibious fellows who, at Cordell's command, atch old!" slid the Rkiff into the water with me In her, leaping in themselves as she floated. "Where to, sir?" Inquired Cordell, his oars suspended over the water. "There's a motor boat moored somewhere near," I answered; "been here for some days. I guess, You men seen anything of such a craft?" "W'y, that must be that ere gray thing over yonder, Y' can see 'er frome 'ere, sir—right in line wi' th* church!" following the direction of the man's outstretched arm, I could faintly discern the outlines of a long, low craft, the gray color of hfr sides almost blended with the last-descending night. "That'll he her. men. Give way smartly!" Undtr thive pairs of sculls the light row boat 'fairly flew through the watH\ and in ten minutes we were bobbing against the Stiletto's side. "I'm going aboard!" I exclaimed. "Two of you romo with me, the oth*r man remain alongside." We gained the dark and silent deck. Apparently the craft was deserted. A little com* panion-hood showed amidships, which* 1 promptly descended. "Arf a mo!" shouted CordelL " 'Ere'* a lantern," rnd he came clattering down the cabin steps at my heels. "Anybody below here?" f shouted.

The top of this kind of a shed may be left open the greater part of the time without harming the flock at all. %" v ONLY WORK WOMAN IN BUSINESS* SHOULD NOT BE SENSITIVE, GOOD FITTINGS FOR STABLES Buildings Should Be Well Lighted and High Enough for Ample Ventilation— Size of Doors. ^.^,.- The stables for the stock should be well lighted, high enough for ample ventilation and the stalls wide and long enough for the stock to rest in comfort. The stable doors should be fully four feet in width, hung on rollers; this will prevent an animal from being "Injured in passing in or o u t o T a halfopen door. The winter doors should be solid and slotted in summer. The following dimensions will prove satisfactory: Width of double stall with stanchions for cows, 6 feet; width of feed trough, 18 inches; width of feed passage between two rows of cattle, 4 feet; length of stall from stanchion to gutter for small cows, 5 feet; length of stall from stanchion to gutter for large cows, 6 feet; length of partitions between stalls, 4 feet; width of manure gutter in cow stable, 12 inches; depth of gutter, 8 Inches, and walk behind cows, 2 feet. Width of stall for horses, 5 feet; length of stall for horses, 12 feet; size of loose box for mare with eolt, 10x12 feet, and size of loose box for cow and calf, 8x10 feet. A concrete floor put down on a properly graded s-incn stone Is not too hard if the cattle are well bedded. The best floor for horses is ono of red clay, Just made moist enough to pack down firm. A clay floor is best for horses' feet. A stone floor is too hard, and a board floor is too dry. The stable should face south; the doors shoould open out upon a wellsheltered, dry yard, securely fenced. Running water in the yard, with drain to carry off the overflow, is to be preferred to water in the stable. Heat-Producing Food to Sow. Sows that are fed on corn and other concentrated, heat-producing foods during pregnancy are quite sure to experience more or less difficulty at farrowing time and we need not blame the sow or wonder if she is cross and feverish and runs and chases the pigs up in one corner of the pen, or even turns upon them and devours them. base of rracgerr-j-^T^^ p a y n n affpntlnn t" t^nft M lfng as words were decent, but to a woman's sensitive ear the tone is everything. It seriously affects her work, so business men claim, and it is the necessity for avoiding trouble that turns them In favor of male workers. I saw a badly Ironed sheet taken back to the kitchen recently by a woman who is never anything but kind to her employees. "When you find clean clothes that look like this, Mary, do not bring them to me; do them over." The girl burst into tears with the remark that nobody had ever found fault with her laundry till then. It required some reasoning to bring her to a proper frame of mind, and the woman decided to replace her by one less sensitive at the earliest opportunity. It came last week.—Betty Rradeen in The Buffalo Enquirer. Collar for Horse. Do not compel your horses to begin the season's work with poorly-fitting collars. Provide a collar that fit." well and make no change. LrvtSroc NOTES 8 ' • • • ^ ^ B J S W 7 * The sows should farrow in March. The check-rein, is as comfortable to a horse as the high collar is to a workingmati. An excellent bedding for hogs is marsh hay or pulp from sugar cane meal. This gives out very little dust. On a farm of 100 acres or over it pays much beitcr to sellsheep as mutton instead of stock for other people to fatten. A handful of oil meal given to the horse once a day will keep him in good condition and makes his coat soft and sleek. The pigs should be allowed the free range of an alfalfa field and fed milk arid shortB and barley, or a mixture of the throe. If you cannot afford to buy pure-bred mares at the start, buy the best you can, then trade and buy until you can get the real article. It is easy td teach a suckling colt how to drink milk, and a quart of warm cow's milk in the morning will give it a good start. . Many mares are unable to supply their colts with sufficient milk, particularly when hard worked. In such cases they should be helped out. The average farmer can care for four or five sows with very little trouble; but keep good ones, as scrubs* are likely to lose monoy for you. Sheep will dig pretty close to the grass roots in the early spring if you give them a chance. They like a taste Of something fresh. If,you feed them plenty of turnips this wilt help to sat- JsfjT their appetites. ' If is the farmer who keeps sheep JtatA nayabjr <tf yami»*h*frn*dV them most profitable.

She I f Not Paid Because She Is Pretty or Stylish, but Because 8he Is Useful to the Business. \ The woman who finds herself facing the problem of earning a living should immediately proceed to get rid of her sensitive feelings, if she has any. She would do well to try to sink her personality during business hours and keep saying to herself that only her work counts, that she Is not paid* because she 1B pretty or stylish, but just because she is useful to the business which pays her wages. When she falls in that her good looks will not save her. A capable girl with, perhaps, neither beauty nor style, will succeed her. The employers who are hiring girls for their charms are few, and the girls who have to work are many. Feminine workers are striving to secure the wages of men, which can only be done by doing men's work. Now men do not expect praise and7 it does not turn their head when it is given. As a rule they do not accept reproof as a personal injury. The just employer gives both praise and blame. When he pays promptly he expects good work every day and not according to the feelings of his workers. When there is a valid reason for leniency—like illness, for instance^— he is kind, but for shirking he has no mercy. A man who employs more than fifty women teld me that he had no trouble with them because he treated them exactly as he would treat men. His creed was so much work for so much money and he reasoned that no woman had a right to accept a position she could not fill. I think that was fully understood by his office, for he was in the habit of going away and returning without warning, and he seemed satisfied with the result. Women are not yet accustomed to being treated with the lack of courtesy which makes the atmosphere of a business place. A man whose brain Is turning over important plans cannot give particular attention to the tone in which he addresses an employee. It may be brusque without his knowing it or intending any unklndness.

Henceforth the discharged convict really anxious to make a clean start will not be brought Into direct contact with the police. Up to now the convict has been supervised by the police on the one hand and cared for by various philanthropic' societies on the other, and there has been no cooperation between the police and the societies. The new scheme is to combine into a central body the societies which have hitherto aided discharged prisoners and to give this body authority to deal with the convicts and funds to carry on the work. This body will be responsible for the convicts whose interests it serves, and the police will have no more dealings with discharged prisoners so long as they keep from further crime.—From the London Saturday Review. Experience to Remember. A woman and her four-year-old child were rescued etfrly the other morning on a Welsh mountain after a terrible ordeal. They visited' some relatives and started back across the Deri mountain. The woman, however, took | the wrong Toad, and as night fell found she was lost. In the darkness, bofh she and the child fell Into a brook. They managed to extricate themselves, but as they ran to and fro, wet through and bitterly cold, the child left Its mother's side. The woman wandered about screaming for help, until a workman heard her. Search parties were at once sent out, and the child was discovered in a plantation, almost dead from exposure, with a bed wound in the head caused by falling over a rock. It had been without food, on the frozen mountainside, for sixteen hours. Work Wins Reward of Merit.

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled with eczema when but a few weeks old. His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fello-y suffered very much.

T h e fa^ft l o o k e d Ifltft r a w m p a t W e tied little bags of cloth over his hands-to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks the dear child's face was as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years.

One hundred and fifty persons, the great majority .of them East Side Jewish girls, met death in its most awful form in New York city in the short space of time between 4:50 and 5:10 o'clock Saturday. They either leaped screaming to their death on the hard pavement or fell back burned and suffocated into the burning eighth, ninth and tenth floors of the building at 23 Washington Place, occupied as a factory by the Triangle Shirtwaist company, "which was not provided with a solitary outside fire escape, although 700 operators, 600 of them women, daily worked on these floors. The building, now a charnel house, stands on the western fringe of the down-town wholesale clothing, fur and millinery district.

The loss to property will not exceed $100,000. Terrible Rain of Flesh and Blood. "Don't jump! Don't jump!" yelled the crowd. But the girls had no alternative.

TKR CHILL MX/PICTURE mis A Jim THE G R I P tfEffPfcim TZLIS A STORY' Colds and Chills Bring Kidney Ills February, March and April are the backache months,,. because they are months of colds, chills, grip and pneumonia* with their congesting, weakening influence on the kidneys. Colds, chills, or grip strain the kidneys and start backache, urinary disorders anduric acid troubles. You feel lame, weak and tired and have headache, dizzy feelings, achy muscles and joints; too frequent, painful urinary passages, sediment, etc Chills hurt the kidneys. Likewise well kidneys often prevent taking cold, by helping to pass off the waste matters of cold congestion. Doan's Kidney Pills are very useful in the raw winter and spring months. They stop backache and urinary disorders, keep the kidneys well and prevent colds from settling on the kidneys. Strong testimony proves it. What better evidence could you ask? CONVINCING PROOF FROM GRATEFUL USERS TERRIBLE CASE OP DROPSY. Lebanon, tnd* Man Gives Vivid Description of His Suffering. John T. Anderson, 613 W.

I called in a physician, but he gave me only teffiJJdf&ry relief, by drawing the urine with a catheter. I was soon In such agony 1 could not lie in bed, and for four weeks sat in a chair, propped up by pillows. After about a month, it seemed as if something burst and I pasted a regular flood of water, mixed with blood and mucus. After that I had not a particle of control over the secretions. The doctor said he could do no more for me, and every* one thought I would die. My friends marvel at my recovery* Nine boxes of Doan'a Kidney Pills' saved my life and made a permanent core.

I was restless at night and in the morning arose so tired as to be almost unable to do my housework. The kidney secretions were unnatural and gave me a great deal of trouble. One day I suddenly fell to the floor where X lay for a long time unconscious. Three doetors who treated me diagnosed my case as paralysis and said they could do nothing for me.

TJj& Iflstprljj reluctance of Oriental rac^a To indulge to reforms is little understood, but time and experience will explain. These races are old in experience and in wisdom. Therefore, they are always apprehensive of the ultimate ends to which any reform will reach, bays tlie Detroit News. Japan has modernized rapidly. It enjoys the benefits of a very improved form of government. Out of this change develops a gradual rise in the status of the masses and one of the consequences Is a discontent. Alexander II. of Russia emancipated 23,000,000 serrtf in the spring qf 1861, after giving all landowaers an<jt serf masters three years' notice to prepare for the event and setting his own serfs free as an example. In 1881 the sons and daughters of the emancipated serfs, having enjoyed the benefit of education and thereby discovered the wrongs of the past and the, oppressions to wjfejch the veqr wexe still Subject at the hands of the nobles and great land owners, expressed' their discontent by killing the emperor who had lifted them to the status of tree men and women.

They believe in killing off the rats to check the spread of the disease. But some of the methods they propose to employ will arouse the special wonder even of an age which Is accustomed to remarkable developments. The military Inspector of the district in question has issued an order In which is set forth "the hypnotic influence of music, as employed by wizards and witches," and It is remarked that this should not be ignored. In fact, tho methods by which rat-catchers can lure their prey from the hiding places are specified, and the order, toncludes with the assumption that "It Is very possible that among the soldiers of the Caucasian military district there are such wizards/' If there is a pled piper in the Russian army he may now proceed to get busy. Irrigation and Other Boundary, Water* Disputes Among .Functions of International Commission. What Is regarded by the department of state as the most important stride in the promotion of cordial relations between the United States and Canada thus far accomplished was completed when the department formally delivered the commission to the three members of the international joint commission, which is hereafter to deal with all Issues between the two countries. To this tribune are delegated powers which, It is believed, will obviate all employment of the circuitous routes of all former negotiations which have been > conducted by way of Downing street/ and will make possible a directness of communication and conference which, with the obvious community of interest between the Dominion and the United States, will doubtless forstaW eerfoae ^ s a g r e e m e n i a . T h e commission Is created under the terms of the treaty with Great Britain ratified May 5, 1910. The American commissioners are Thomas H. Carter, former senator from Montana, and member of the committee on foreign relations; James A. Tawney, former chairman of the house committee on appropriations, and long one of the leaders of the house of representatives, and Frank S. Streeter, a leading member of the New Hampshire bar. The joint commission, popularly referred to c\s "the boundary waters commission," has far broader and more important duties than the terms wouVl imply. It is created primarily to d< .1 with the control and utilization of the boundary waters, and will exercise both judicial and legislative functions with respect to all questions pertaining thprAtxv-fchlft-vl&w of the majority to be final.

Authentic report of a serious demonstration against the person of President Diaz, of Me^co, which took the form of the etoning of his official palace in Mexico city by a mob of insurrectos sympathizers, became public in San Antonio.

The stoning of Diaz's palace came so suddenly that the. police utterly unprepared for the demonstration were unable to disperse the mob before much glass had been shattered and the guests of the president who were In the palace at the time, had been badly frightened.

My sister used the Cuticura Pills for purifying the blood, bathed only with Cuticura Soap, and at night after washing, she anointed her eyes, very gently on the outside with the Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the swelling was entirely gone from the eyes, and after a month there was no longer any mucus or watering of the eyes. She could already flee better, and in six weeks she was cured."

He was plainly under the influence of liquor. When he left home that evening he^fcad sworn to Annie that he would not touch a drop, but by the time ho reached the Astruria his courage failed him. He rather feared Underwood, and he felt the need of a stimulant to brace him up for the "strike" he was about to make.

He looksd toward Underwood in a stupid kind of way, as if looking for some sign of approval, but he was disappointed. Underwood's face was a study of supreme indifference. He did not even appear to be listening. Somewhat disconcerted, Howaid again raised the glass to his lips, and thus refreshed, went on: "Then I thought of you, old chap.

God knows it's a precarious one!" .Beaching for the decanter, he added: >' "Have a drink." .; But Mr. Bennington refused to unjK- jbehd.

Underwood's dark eyes flashed with suppressed wrath, as h r r,etorted: "Of course, I can get them all back in time. Damn it, you fellows don't know what It costs to run this kind of business successfully! One has to spend a small fortune to keep up appearances. These society people won't buy if they think you really need the money. I've had to give expensive dinners and spend money like water even to get them to come here and look at the things. You must give me time to make^ settlement. I need at least a month." Bennington shook his head. There was a hard, uncompromising look in his face as he replied caustically: "They're coming for the things tomorrow. I thought it fair to let you know. I can do no more." Underwood stopped short. "To-morrow," he echoed faintly. "Yes," said Bennington grimly. "You might as well understand the situation thoroughlyjyjhe game's up. The firm has been wa\c~&)rfg y o u *°r some time.

An expression of fear out of her carefully hoarded savings When he sobered up he would realize that he had acted like a coward and a cur, but just now he was feeling rather jolly. Addressing Under- XwQOJl_wltliAimpud«nt famiiiarityT he went on: .~^"N "The d—d boy didn't seem to know if you were in or not, so I came up anyhow." Glancing at Bennington, he added: "Sorry, If I'm butting in." Underwood was not in the humor to be very gracious. Long ago young Howard Jeffries had outgrown his usefulness as far as he was concerned. He was at a loss to guess why he had come to see him uninvited, on this particular Sunday night, too. It was with studied coldness, therefore, that ;be said: --. "Sit down—I'm glad to see you." "You don't look It^ grinned Howard, as-he advanced further Into the room with shambling, uncertain step& Concealing his ill humor and promising himself to get rid of his unwelcome visitor at the first^oppoftunlty^. Underwood introduced the two men. "Mr. Bennington—Mr. Howard Jeffries, Jr." Mr. Bennington had heard of the older Jeffries' trouble with his scapegrace son, and he eyed, with some interest, this young man who had made such a fiasco of his career. "Oh, I know Bennington," exclaimed Howard jovially. "I bought an elephant's tusk at his place in the days when I was somebody," With mock sadness he added, "I'm nobody now —couldn't even buy a collar button." "Won't you sit down and stay awhile?" said Underwood sarcastically. "If you don't mind, I'll have a drink first," replied Howard, making his way to the desk and taking up the whisky decanter. , Underwood did not conceal his annoyance, but his angry glances were entirely lost on his new visitor, who was rapidly getting into a maudlin condition. Addressing Bennington with familiarity, Howard went on; "Say, do you remember that wonderful set of lvopy-43hessmen my old man bought?" j Bennington smiled and nodded. "Yes, sir; I do, indeed. Ah, your father is a fine art critic!" Howard burst into boisterous laughter. -., . . "Art critic!" he exclaimed. "1 should say he was. He's a born critic, He can criticise any old thing —every old thing. I don't care what it is, he can criticise it. 'When in doubt —criticise,' is nailed on* father's "e*r cutcheon." Bowing with mock courtesy to each he raised the glass to his lips and said: "Here's how! Underwood impatiently interrupted him. "It's Impossible, Jeffries. Things are a little hard with me, too, just now. You'll have to wait for that $250." Howard grinned. " 'Taint the $250, old man, I didn't want that. I want a couple of thousand." Underwood could not help laughing. "A couple of thousand? Why not make it a million?" Howard's demand struck him as being so humorous that, he sat down convulsed with laughter. Looking at him stupidly, Howard helped himself to another drink. "It seems I'm a hit," he said with a grin. Underwood by this time had recovered his composure. "So you've done nothing since you left college?" he said. ., "No," answj&ned" Howard. "I don't seem to get down to anything. My ideas wdtft-stay in one piace. I got a jf>b as tlnW.VBOTKUj but I didn't k««|l k down a week. I kept the time all right, but it wasn't the right, time."

"I've got an opportunity to go into business. I want $2,000 and I want it deuced quick." Underwood shrugged his -shoulders. "Why don't you go home and ask your father?" he demanded. His visitor seemed offended at the suggestion. "What!" he exclaimed, with comic surprise, "after being turned out like a dog with a young wife on my hands! Not much—no. I've injured their pride. , You know father married a second time, loaded me down with a stepmother. She's all right, but she's so confoundedly aristocratic. You know her. Say, didn't you and she— wasn't there some sort of an engagement once? Seems to'me I—" Underwood rose to his feet and abruptly turned his back.

"Try Lady Bellairs." This piece of femininity was the racetrack favorite of the season. Being feminine, she was erratic in her gaits, and there were a few heavy losers about town who had believed sbe could be true. Tbe reporters applied for information. Mr. Morin? Certainly not.

With tbt history of * * missing money thus partially related, tome conjecture may be formed of tbt sudden idea that Madame Tibault't Words seemed to have suggested to Robbins' brttft.

Peru has few merely tourist visitors, and of these fewer still see Pachacamac, the trip from Lima being considered long and hard. But for one accustomed to the saddle (and little of South America can be otherwise seen) Pachacamac is comfortably accessible. The simplest route is by the excellent,electric cars to the pretty suburb Chorillos, beyond MlraflorfB. wjiere horses should have been ordered hi advance to await the traveler. Over roadside walls of mud or adobe brick wild nasturtiums clamber in a riot of color; bare, high hills rise-at one side; the battlefield of San Juan, famous In the Chilean war, and here and there populous haciendas are passed before the open country is reached. A mile or two of Junglelike'swamp follows, rich in interest for lovers of birds and growing things. But beyond this fertile tangle one may canter along the hard sand beach for_ nearly all the remaining miles. Sea birds in such myriads that the sun is actually darkYnrd ,is they fly up at our approach, seven or eight lines of superb Pacific rollers breaking in thunderous surf, a rampart of high sand mountains just back of the beach—and in two or three hours appear the familiar walls and dun-colored remains of Inca occupation. rfjor Pachacamac has been the scene of several" superimposed civilisations, whereby its study is rendered more contusing* than that of othdV ancient shrines. The many graves and their 'contents were seemingly at variance— chronologically inconsistent--with fragments of pottery and implements found near by. But it la certain tliat prc-Inca Indiana had here their chief trmpie, and that when these all-conquering nobles with their hordes of willing workers arrived trtumphantly upon the scene, s o far from fry in* lo .wife, out the old fafch they treated it with i luutttMplpeetk perhaps from prudential mo-, tives, building their great temple to the son on the l-iUj&pTe> but still permitting, even encouraa^^,^ Mp«\ued worship of the creator god, Pael^ ca'mscjjeo" that the temple's religious prestige djo^at fitfleV-feider the- Incas.

A nearby hacienda, apparently containing the most extensive of 1:he ancient burial places, is chiefly devoted to the fluffy bolls and brown stalks of this plant. The most scholarly and reliable authority upon Pachacamac history is undoubtedly Dr. Max Uhle, now head of the new National museum at Lima. To him is due elucidation of many puzzling anachronisms in this rich region, and it was our good fortune to be accompanied on this trip by Doctor Uhle—to whom every wall and angle and brick has absolute significance. The name of the creator god, as applied to sanctuary, town and river, came into use only about 170 years before the Spanish conquest. No older name has yet been/found. Burial places always/ bring rich returns to those who can Interpret their annals. Here is an enormous number of graves, not less than 60,000 to 80,000, among them a few stall-like cells, much cruder and earlier than the majority. Graves are found in the open, in houses, in temples, most of which have, years ago, been rifled for the gold, silver and gems supposed to be interred with the dead. Previous t o the Inca conquest probably at least two civilizations met a Pachacamac—the culture of the highlands and the newer customs of the coast After a cemetery had been used for a long time the temple was destroyed; even the sort of civilization itself was changed. A third epoch shows a cultural decline, Inferior but supplanting, despite the general advance of the world at large. The founding and growth of the Inca empire "was one of the last great events of pre-Spanish centuries. Although Pachacanac graves were so rich in Articles from which the story of the past can be read, larger outlines of life and custom may be,traced in the ruins of town and temples.,. Approaching, from the north one sees the con* vent still called by its ancient name, Mamacona ("mothers/' SB applied to the nuns), and a. subject of especial study by Doctor TJhle. In Jhe land of the lijeaif^eettbate women were not uh; common,, and were generally attached to some temple of the sun. The mamacona was secluded on three sides, the front only facing plain and sear with entrance openings. No fewer than 200 of these nuns lived here, and they were obliged to pas's through; the inner and outer sanctuary of Pachacamac to reach the sun tempje. From the convent it is best to pasa on to the former, a huge structure 400 feet long, 180 wide and covering two-thirds of an acre.. Once there were terraces on three sides, each 20 feet high, but the sand hat so blown in and over and,about them that fcaey are .really discernible now upon only one.

Of the ancient city at least one-quarter was occupied by the temple district and the remainder was divided by cross streetB, 13 and 16 feet wide, with courts and buildings of palatial proportions. In the city are four hills, the walls encircling 'it all completely. On the northwest these barriers were from 11 to 13 feet high and in general 8 feet broad, although this was in placet Increased to 16. Vast crowds must have filled the city at many times, for the wide adobe housetops and walls, which we»e used constantly by pedestrians* are worn perfectly smooth on certain thoroughfares by the constant passing of multitudes. ^ Outside the city walls is widespreading desert, one will (distant only half a mile), not less than 20 feet wide and 475 yards long, still curving around the despoiled riches i t once protected. Of all this great ruined area^.the sun temple itself i t most conspicuous, rising 300 feet above the general level, on a series of terraces; four on the northeast and northwest, five on the southeast The modem history of this most interesting region begins with the. journey of Hernando Pizarro, ordered by his more famous brother in 1533 to capture «the temple treasures of pachacamac. Pizarro had heard of its spleo^ors atuCa^amarca, when the Inca Atahnalpa bad told htm that "ten days away on the road to Cuzco" was a "mosque," chief • sanctuary of a whole people, 'and held m highest reverence by himself and his father,^ Hualtta Capac; and that it contained vast treasure in gold and silver offerings. But Hernando Pizarro traveled only about 16 miles a day, taking 22 days l o cover the 340 miles; whereat the swift Indian runners bore messages of warning in far lest time (one old Indian once ran from La Pas to Tacna, 190 roiled, in three days), and much of the golden treasure was removed or concealed before his arrival. Enough remained, however, for colossal riches. *w Hit conquest was complete on reaching the sanctuary. He at once demolished the shrine of the temple of Pachacamac, and its most sacred -idol, in presence of the whole people assembled, raising a cross upon the debris. Thus began the decline of what wee once to splendid and mo vital a part of the early life. _ After taking Cuzco Francisco Pizarro came In 1534 to Pachacanlac holding wild orgtes in the sacred courts and still further horrifying a people already crushed and outraged. The final straggle came, however, and tbe depopulation of the entire valley began, In the w a n of Manco Inca, who in 1535 grttheTed all the Indians in a futile/ death struggle with Spain.

(By PROP. A. T. W I A N C K E . ) First, I would say, begin corn breeding work upon a small scale. I would emphasize this because you can give a Bmall plat more attention and it is better to make a big improvement in a small lot of corn than a/ small improvement in a large lot A small plat planted with the few very best ears will produce enough to provide a fine quality of seed corn for the general crop the following season. To begin with, you should secure a few good ears of the very best variety for your conditions. If you have not already got it, it may be advisable to conduct a small variety test of those varieties which appear to suit your conditions. In this preliminary work the varieties should be planted crop, you will be many times repaid fcr the extra trouble. , Plant each two ears in alternate rows and detassel all the rows of one of the eafs, to prevent in-brceding, and select seed for next year's plat from the detasseled rows. All breeding should be towards a single-, definite-typo.- In--earry4ng—outtbis we must Keep in mind the size, form and color.of the ear; the form, depth, sb*ape, roughness and hardiness of the kernel; the covering of butts and tips; the time oTsnaturity, etc. The character and size of^the stalk and the root and leaf development, as well as the position and character of the shank, must also be kept in mind. A good, vigorous stalk may make the difference between a good and poor crop, especially when seasons are unfavorable. Productiveness must, of course, always be a leading. interest and all barren and weak stalks should be destroyed before they shed pollen. The careful corn breeder should be personally acquainted with each and every stalk in the breeding plat and a record of the pedigrees of each so* lected for seed in the breeding plat should be kept.

"Stevey, my boy," Bald Uncle Hiram to his hopeful young nephew, "there's a terrible difference between vanity and self-belief. "I've known plenty of men who w«re fairly saturated, soaking with vanity, but who didn't have real courage enough to scare away a cat. They thought they were the handsomest men alive; but there were plenty of homely men that they'd let walk right over them. They had no end of vanity, but no real self-belief. "As matter of fact, Stephen, I think you are about as homely a young chap as I know, but it doesn't follow from that that you're rugged. And as far as that goes I never yet knew a homely,.,,.man, ,but what thought he was handsome; and that thought does a man no harm unless he lets his vanity satisfy him so that he's content to rest on that without further effort.

You may think you are handsome if you want to or you may admire your own clothes or your neckties; you may think you're the finest fellow on earth; but don't mistake your vanity for self-belief. Above all things you want really to believe In yourself, and this belief must be not a mere fancy. It must be a true, rugged, 100 per cent plus belief, something very different from vanity; it must be a real belief that Inspires you to do things and that sustains and fortifies you; that invigorates and constantly strengthens you In whatever you undertake. "And you must do things. You can't be content to sit down and admire yourself.

A dog's striking attachment to his master is recorded f»*om Villeneuve- Saint-Georges. While attending the funeral of a municipal councillor's wife M. Constantln, a resident of that village, contracted congestion of the lungs, from which he died suddenly. He had a dog, a small fox terrier, which never left him. Since the death of M.

Just a little in a glass of water, used as a gargle, will quickly relieve all soreness and strengthen the mucous membrane of the throat, and thus overcome all tendency to sore throat. ,» Paxtine is far superior to liquid antiseptics or Peroxide for all toilet and hygienic uses.

It is satisfyisfe to undertake to verify the proverbial ingenuity of our forefathers in a story that tells of what is being done in ttya very day by a few Industrious homesteaders in Uncle Sam's remaining wilderness. "Fifty miles off the railroad," in either direction, describes but a tew isolated spotB that may be pointed to on a very modern map of the United States. One of these is in Arkansas, a s i o n g those extremely southern ragged spurs of the Ozark mountains. It is of *he very little territory yet remaining to be taken up under the homestead laws. Its boundary is Hot Springs to t h e east, Mona to the weBt, Guda to the south and Waldron to the north.

Mrs. Rosa Weinmann, 1927 Greenwood Terrace, Chicago, 111., says: "So intense were the rheumatic pains in my back, I felt like screaming. They gradually becamo more severe until they ran all over my body. I could not sleep and could hardly move. I steadily grew worse until I could scarcely open or close m y hands. No relief was obtained until I began, using Doan's Kidney Pills. Soon I felt better and ere long the pain left." Remember the name—Doan's. For sale by all dealers, 50 cents a box.

If you should so choose to settle*, among a,, group of steep up-aqd-downe, quite removed from a wagon xoad, a little nearer to a trail, and yet a greater and laborious overland distance from a sawmill, it is obvious that you will have to depend, to a great degree, upon your own resources and upon your ability to create with your own hands from those things which nature has provided in a well-wooded country. Imagine yourself placed in one of these vall e y s or upon one of these foothills, with no greater amount of baggage, tools and provisions than could be conveyed over a country of this character with a yoke of oxen. Then, to be commanded, "Here Is the forest and all it contains; go. prepare for yourself your future abode." This is a story of home making under such conditions. The progress of 4*e work is illustrated and in its completion no other than the r a w materials of the forest entered into the struct u r e or Ifs furnishings, save a small amount of hardware and incidentals forming a portion of the Initial supplies brought in as a settler's outfit. T w o young men, homesteaders, both city bred, completed the entire work, unassisted. Of the tools used the double-bitted ax performed the greater portion of the heavy work. It followed in the wake of the croBB-cut saw after i h e felling of the trees, snd, from then on was the chief implement of construction. With it every duty of preparing the logs for raising them into their positions in the building was most adequately performed. First it scored the logs lengthwise, on two opposite sides, ready for wedging and splitting into semicircular halves. Then Jt followed as the tool for hewing the flat surf a c e s of the halMogs, which, completed, formed the smooth inside walls of the dwelling. After each log had been raised into position came the task of "notching down," which required even more skill in the use of an s x . Those few of the native inhabitants of the forest w h o are most r*ronvient In making the dovetailed notches which f ro necessary in completing a perfect set of interlocking timbers are known aa "corner men."

Nor Is It always possible to make perfect boards, even if the markings of the bark are in accord with governing rules. Native Intuition, difficult o define aids considerably in setectlng the best rees. The practice of "chipping" is a nrlal test. in the most remote forests, many miles from a railroad, It Is difficult to AndjuTarea, even on the jrest of a mountain, that has not been penetrated by the pioneer in search of splitting timber. Far from the nearest settlement, in the depth of a virgin rorest, the intrepid hunter frequently observes these notchings for board trees, even when there is entire absence of other signs of advancing civilization. Out of 21 trees selected and chipped, while observing these rules. 17 were discarded. The remaining- four supplied all the lumber necessary to complete the building operations and a sufficient quantity of choice board* for the mission furnishings. After sawing into eight and ten fobt lengths the logs were rolled into position for splitting. Then followed the scoring preparatory to splitting with mallet, maul and wedges. In the diagram of a cross-section of a piece of pine board timber the entering wedge points the line of the first seam which separates the semi-circular halves. The timber is then quartered and again split the third time. An 18-inch log will produce eight well-shaped bolts, the most practical and convenient stte for splitting with a frow. Bach of these bolts is placed upright into an oak crotch, which Is staked firmly to the ground to act as a support in prying. The cutting edge of tha frow blade Is the lower side of the tool when the handle Is held upright with tha blade resting across the V-shaped end of the. bolt. The heart is waate, which is split from the bolt with a wedge. When t h a cutting edge of the frow blade is placed across these markings the upper or broad edge of the blade Is tapped gently with tha mallet. This operation starts the board. By rooking tha upright handle to and fro the blade opens .a.seam and is entered deeper with little exertion. Ten or fifteen seconds of this prying operation will release a perfectly smooth board from the b o l t All of tha lumber used is tha building operations waa produced by thia method. Tha s a m e process waa applied to shingle making. T h e 6,000 :¾ -Inch boards required for roofing purposes, all split from It-Inch log lengths, ware turned out by two operators with mallet and frow in a day and a half. Other timbers required, such aa the solid oak fbaadatioLvallla, the pine sleepers, or flooring supports, rhe Joists and the rafters, were all handhewn with a broadax from unseasoned trunks. Tha work bench for hand planing and finishing lumber waa improvised from a half-log, 14 inches In diameter, mounted on t w o h\rga stump* and held in position with wooden pegs, , Smaller wooden pegs were used alio, to an extent, aa a substitute ter «aika and serews In tha building; operations An abbreviated assortment of carpenter's and cabinet maker's tools constituted the out** Completed, tha dimensions of. tha i o u s e are Si£W/ftG riATt3U/?rAC£ OTMAIF -LOGS curios, each one of them a pleasant reminder of some little adventure or of an exciting chase through the forest.

The imagination is undisturbed by the vision of a furniture factor's process of imitating the craftsmanship of the pioneer. A maBs of cushions, some filled with pine needles and others stuffed with wild-duck feathers, create a desire to tarry for a rest in good, oldfashion comfort A gun rack, cartridge belts, holsters and other of the articles of a hunter's paraphernalia decorate the walls on each side of this Inviting nook. Tables, chairs, bookcase and writing desk are all in accord and all hand made of raw materials. A few clever articles of convertible furniture lend considerable freedom and convenience In a room that otherwise would be overcrowded. Among these Is a screened dummy elevator which takes the place of cellar and refrigerator and which may be readily converted into a kitchen table, when required, in carving meats, kneading dough and for other culinary purposes. The elevator carriage is four feet in height, with a series of shelves, and it is so constructed that its top forms a square panel in the floor when the carriage is lowered out of view. The whole thing is so well balanced with weights operated by cords and pulleys that it requires but little effort, with one finger in an iron ring, to raise the top to table height above the floor. The dining table is cleared after supper and supplied with a "new cloth, all fresh and clean. Then, it is rolled on its large castors to another part of the room, directly undar a hanging lamp, to serve the purpose of a Hbrarx table for the remainder of the evening. The lamp is suspended, through a hole In the floor, from the ceiling of the bed chamber on the second floor. When all are ready to retire tha lamp is shifted to tha sleeping apartment by means of the raistng-and-lowerlng device. The most marked display of ingenuity h a s been applied to tha kitchen furnishings. Everything but the cook stove and pipe Is home made. Lard palls and vegetable tins have been converted into cooking dishes and utensils of every description. A fondly amount of creative genlul and a two-dollar soldering sat produced all ot the tinware used In the kitchen. On the stove It a OOttolene pail that has been converted into a teapot, complete with spout, handle, cover and inside strainer. Two deep tin coveys, soldered together at their rims and supplied with spout and handle hare produced a vary serviceable bot-water kettle. Then there are store lifters- and shovels, frying pane and a .number of othar small utajudla mada from sheet iron stovepipe lengths—all bant, soldered and riveted by hand, Both the kitchen and the bathroom art supplied with running water conducted to tha house from a spring higher up through a system of wooden troughs. Tha bathtub is of wood, enameled wi whlta paint. A Ruling Passion. "Uncle Pinchpenny spent a gteat deal of time at the home of George Washington." "Yes.

The military force will establish its headquarters at San Anteino under command of MaJ.-Gen. William H. Carter. assistant cbief of staff, "assistedby several brigadier-generals, who will command the brigades into which the grand division will be divided. These brigades will be placed at strategic points^ throughout the department of Texas, including not only the Mexican border towns, to which particular attention will be given, but also Galveston and the other seaports, The situation which has resulted in the sudden movement of 20,000 troops toward the Mexican frontier and tme hurrying of 2.000 marines and five warships *r> | h * gii1f, *a rraf1"ffl1v lir|- folding Itself. Officials of the war and navy departments still contend that the mobilization of one quarter of the entire regular army along the Mexican line is for the purpose of holding Joint army and navy war games, but the fact that it is Intended chiefly a s a military demonstration for the protection of American and other foreign properties in Mexico 1* becoming more certain. There is, however, another consideration which Influenced the presi* dent and his advisers to order this impressive force to the Mexican frontier. It was learned that Mexico about two weeks ago formally protested to the state department that the American side of the dividing line was not being properly patroled. The contention of the Mexican government was that the revolutionists had been able to use the American side as a base of operations. The Mexican troops were, of course, powerless to invade American territory. This protest on the part of Mexico has undoubtedly been considered in connection with the desire of this government to indicate Its disposition to insure the protection of foreign property in Mexico in the event of the Diaz government failing to cope with the situation. At present the United States has no intention of crossing the frontier into Mexico. The purpose of sending the troops into Texas is merely to have them available in the event of a contingency endangering American or other foreign interests in Mexico. Also the mobilization is intended to forestall any formal repre« sentations by European governments. By its activity the United States tacitly notifies the European powers, that it stands ready to • protect foreign property if the Dia* administration fails in its duty. This is undoubtedly the' Interpretation put upon the' action of the war and navy departments by the representatives of foreign governments in Washington. Diaz Is a Busy Man. The health of President Diaz, which appears to have been made a factoi in the situation In some quarters, seemingly has nol( been impaired in the slightest degree by the business of the last few months. Instead oJ being the sick man that he has been painted, he i s said not to have been in better health in a long time. AB evidence of the fact that the executive is in ordinarily good health, to say the least, he Is at his offices in the national palace at 9 o'clock every morning, giving personal attention to the affairs of the nation. Frequently hie duties keep him engaged until after 10 o'clock at night at hit winter residence -in the city. It has been but a few days sinc<* he traveled out to to the field where an aviation meet was in progress and sat for hours watching the flights with evident interest. Troops to Cover 1,000 Miles. Maj.-Gen. William H. Carter, commanding the division, Sunday morning will take charge of the big war game. ,The scene of field operations will be chiefly in the territory to,the south and west adjacent to Mexico. The preliminary plans call for maneuvers ranging over a border territory for more than 1,000 miles. There will be a series of mimic engagements between the combined sea and land forces at Galveston, and several thousand men from the maneuvers camp at Fort Sara Houston. It is claimed by the federal authorities of this district that mobilizing of these 20,000 soldiers in Texas and distributing them along the border will serve as an effective barrier against the sending into Mexico of stores of contraband goods for use of the revolutionists. It is well known that a well organized plan of sending arms and ammunition across.^the border from isolated Texas points has been In effect for several weeks. It is expected that this practice will now be quickly broken up. -* 'f! The Famine In China.

These documents are expected to reach Washington next Tuesday. "Agents of the revolutionary party in San Antonio, Texas, also telegraphed the confidential agency in Washington that they have just received letters dated March 8, In which sympathizers in Mexico City with the revolutionary movement attribute the mobilization of the American troops to the secret intrigues of the government of Diaz. It is said in Mexico City' that the threat of intervention by the United States was influenced by Wall street and that Diaz,- had hopes that he would be able, oy the threat of the possibility of a foreign war, to unify natlonar sentiment In favor of his government. Thereon trary has been the result and the people now "are accusing Diaz of treason and an uprising In the capita, seems imminent." mite, mite, powder. Supt.

It is explained that this consular convention will simply amplify the general provision relating to consular officers contained in the treaty of commerce and navigation by which their usual rights and immunities are guaranteed. The United States already has a number of consular treaties with foreign countries and the new consular treaty with Japan will carry out, it is said, the desire of this government to negotiate such Rpecial convention covering in detail all phases of consular relations.

Poultry need a variety of food If they are to be kept in a healthy laying condition. There are too many flocks of poultry on our farms during the winter that lack animal and green food—In fact, are fed a one-sided ra* tion. Corn and oats are handy, and It is "something to eat" for the hens. But In order to produce eggs and he profitable, hens must have tome proportion of animal food. Beef scrap is excellent if it is properly prepared and properly, fed. This is a preparation from scraps of beef that are purified and, through a chemical process, are preserved for future use. Care must be taken that the scrap is pure and of good Quality. If it is salty, musty, lumpy, or has a foul odor, it is not fit to feed; in fact, will cause indigestion and bowel trouble when forced upon the hens. Where the hopper system of feeding is followed, do not mix the beef scrap with the grain, but supply it to the fowls in an apartment by itself. Fowls should first become accustomed to it by giving them a little at a time at first Overfeeding of this highly nutritious food will cause bowel trouble, says Wisconsin Farmer. After hens have become accustomed to it, a supply can be kept before them at all times, and toat/they will eat only what they need,' provided they are fed liberally of other tteds and do not partake of the scrip to satisfy their hunger. If it is found that fowls are eating too much of the oeef scrap, take it away altogether and only feed • it occasionally, giving it either in -the mash or feeding it dry, according to the convenience of the poultry keeper. Fowls should have only a small proportion of the beef scrap—about 15 or 20 pounds to each 100 pounds or dry grain, and even less than ^hat will give good results. Farmers who are keeping a small flock of hens for winter eggS—say about fifty hens—will do well to buy a couple of hundred pounds of beef scrap, or any other prepared animal food, and see what a difference can he made in tho production of eggs.—AT*** emiurt» %' 9 «; I v Try Our Graham for Breakfast i Food, it is great.

This is a double-story affair, with a scratching room below. TMB room is open to the south and Is partly below ground, says the Orange Judd Farmer. Not only does this afford a good scratching room, but it aids In moderating the temperature in the roosting room above, which is thus kept warm in winter and cool in summer. If desired, a part of this lower room may be used as a dust bath, preferably with a glassed window in front to protect it from rain and snow and to keep the dust well Bunned. Drinking water should be kept on the second floor, so as to be away from the dust as much as possible. The upper floor Is provided with rooBts, nesta, a wire front, ami a canvas screen, which may be opened or closed at will. The roostevifi*tt be all removable, and so sbmiiditJie dropping board and nests.

Many may ask why go to the shop and perhaps waste ten or twenty minutes for one's turn and then pay ten or fifteen cents, and perhaps a tip, for a something one may have at home at comparatively no expense of money or time? The explanation is easy, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. At the shop men wait in the habit of years, for a particular chair, and while waiting discuss the latest news of gossip. There Is restfulness In the waiting. Then come the luxury of the chair at a selected angle, the kindly glance and nod from tho favorite barber, the soothing Admixture of comment upon the weather and events with the lather and the dextrous application of the keen edge, to the end of a "close shave;" then the hot towel and possibly the massage Yes, this Is a habit of luxury, but one justified by the ages, from as far back as the days of the prophet Exekiel down through the centuries in which "The Arabian Nights" celebrated the function to the times of Edward IV. of England, who ID 1461 incorporated the Company of Barber-Surgeons; to the days when author, poet and musical composer recognised the humorous features of the trade that once was a profession in that It united with It that of the chjrurgeon. The habit of the barber chair Is as old as some of the hills. Iff LEGUME AND ITS WORK AN EARLY ADJOURNMENT A N D A SPECIAL SESSION ARE DISCUS8ED. FEATURES OF T H E WORK UNDER CONSIDERATION BY T H E L A W MAKERS. The Primary School Fund Subject of Constitutional Amendment If Bill Passes the Senate. The statistics relating to typhoid vaccination, in the army, are both Interesting and encouraging. About onesixth of the United States army was inoculated with the typhoid vaccine, and the returns show that only one person In 4,000 had the disease and none of them died, while in the unvaccinated part of the army, one out of 250 had the disease and there were many deaths. These figures are certainly •very significant, and indicate that typhoid fever is going the way of smallpox, not again to become a real scourge to the country, says the Ohio State Journal. There will be, however, some serious speculation about this, as so much inoculation and vaccination as the various maladies will require, that men will undergo considerable change In their general makeup. If a man incorporates into his vital processes the •various prophylactics intended to ward off disease, he will become a compound of resisting mediums and occupy s o unnatural an attitude as to Invite other troubles, for there seems to be plenty of them waiting to avail themselves of every opportunity. A legislator in Missouri who was a friend both of Hoxsey and Johnstone lias introduced a bill, inspired by the tragedy of their deaths, making it an offense under the head of "attempted suicide" for an aviator to ascend higher than 1,000 feet, and requiring a bond of $10,000 for birdmen, as a guarantee that they will not violate the law. A penalty of five years in prison is provided. But It Is little likely such a bill can pass, however much lovers of the sanctity of human life may desire It, says the Baltimore American. Experiment la always accompanied with recklessness, and while aviation is in its experimental stage, no amount of threatened punishment will deter experimenters from using their own lives as they see fit in It* service. By L. C. Ward. Special Session Likely. The number of bills introduced in the two houses of the legislature number €C5 and the number which have reached the governor for signature is just two. All of which shows how fast the legislature is moving Gov. Osborn is Btill crying for a special tax commission to investigate and report at once and he has frankly told members that if they will pass the bill be will call a special session to receive the report. This would cost the state the neat additional Bum of $13,500. There Is alsp a necessity for a special session if congress passes a reapportionment bill. Primary Fund Question to Be Submitted. The constitutional amendment for doing away with school districts piling up money which they cannot use will undoubtedly be submitted to the people at the April election. The McNauphton bill has already passed the House and is on its way through the Senate with every prospect of its going through with a hurrah. It provides that no school district shall have on hand more than enough to pay teachers' salaries for two years In advance. I'nder the present law some of the districts havejwoney on hand to pay the teachefV salaries for 22 years ahead. "Under the new provision when a district has enough ahead to pay for two years it is automatically cut off and the money distributed among the districts which need it. Russell Defends Department. Land Commissioner Huntley Russell defends the land department which Gov. Osborn wishes to abolish. "Thy |4iJVt?rn0i* hasn't looked Into the matter very closely." he says. "i>ast month we did a business of $154,000 in disposing of state lands and the business last year amounted to $265, 000. The expenses were about $:io,- 000, which showed a neat sum turned over to the state. In fact, the_department turns in more money than any other state department. It may be possible to <lo away with the land department, but I've got to be shown where the business could be handled better or more cheaply." Initiative, Referendum and Recall In. The legislature will wrestle with the intiative. referendum and recall after all. Despite the declaration of the governor for these "reforms" it appeared for a while'as though they I would not come before the legislature because no one showed a disposition to introduce them. But this week Rep. AVoodworth of Huron and Rep. Dunn of Sanilac Introduced the bills for the constitutional amendments. They were referred to the committee and will be fought out in the House, although there is no possibility of their passing the Senate. Once more the "didn't know it was loaded" joke has had a deadly result. A young man in New York city picked vp a revolver which be says he thought was empty and playfully snapped the weapon at his friend and roommate, and the latter was killed instantly. The frenzied youth ran out of the house and surrendered to a policeman, and is now locked up on a charge of homicide, says the Troy Times. Probably no one believes him guilty of any Intentional crime. But even though acquitted of such a purpose, what a lifetime of self-reproach lies before jhim in consequence of that hasty and til-advised bit of humor! The better class of Chinese in New York are trying to eliminate queues suid "joes'* worship from their up-tc- «date life.

Now that all of the hearings are out of the way the legislature is getting down'to business on the workingmen's compensation bills and a measure framed by the joint Judiciary committee of both houses will probably be reported out within a few days. It will be based on the Moriarty-.Iames bill, which has already been commented on extensively. It provides for the payment of a weekly stipend not to evceed $4,000 in all for total disability or death with a graduated sum for partial disability. The law applies to hazardous employments only and specifies *• r* Early Adjournment. Unofficial polls of the bouse indi cate that Senator Carl E. Mace's reso lutkra for adjournment May 2 and discontinuance of business April 19. will be adopted*. Speaker ,3aktr Is in favor of early adjournment. His friends are with him, and it is the general opinion aparently that if Anal adjournment is fixed, the house will conduct its business in a manner calculated to clear the decks of necessary legislation before adjournment day arrives. This means, as Speaker Haker |K)ints out, that there will be a special session to arrange the congressional reapportionment. The speaker estimated this will be called in November or December, or perhaps even a little later in order to fix the districts in time to permit the congressional candidates plenty of time to get acquainted in their changed districts. A Surgery Law. Representative Odell's bill providing for the operations knowja as vasectomy or cophlrectomy in order to prevent procreation on the part of criminal insane persons and persons of feeble mind, was passed by the house and given immediate effect. The discussion involved technical discourses and it was necessary to exc i s e the tfQ£r__n>es8enger8 and women spectators on the floor and In the galleries. Some of the feminine audience hesitated to leave even when the suggestion was made from the floor. Representative Rankin launched into his discussion, quoting authorities and talking very plainly and the women left. Similar laws have been enacted in other states and have been found to be of vast benefit in improving the moral tone of the mentally deficient who were made subjects of the operation. Fighting Demurrage. Representative Noble Ashley's reciprocal demurrage bill is the latest piece of proposed railroad legislation which has been dissected and vigorously lambasted by railroad officials. The officers of the roads foregathered again in the senate chamber Tuesday night, and entertained the house and senate railroad committees for a few hours, with explanations of the absolute worthlessness of the railroad bills introduced. The railroad men contended that the problems which Ashley's bill deal with are covered by the interstate commerce commission, and would legally affect only about 10 per cent of Michigan's roads. They explained that the railroads now have hundreds of box cars on hand which are used only during certain rush seasons, but even with this number of extra cars, they aectaiBd. Uiey Would be unable" to comply with the provisions of Ashley's bill. Quail Shooting. Senator Carl E. Mapes has introduced a bill repealing the law prohibiting the shooting of quail .until 1914 and enacting a law providing for an open season on quail from October 15 to November 30 of each year. This is the bill that has the backing of practically every sporting association in Michigan. One of the greatest objections set forth by the sporting interests of the state to the work of the last legislature was that it passed the five-year prohibition on quail shooting. Tonnage Tax Is Dead. The tonnage tax is dead, despite the fact that it passed the .House. The taxation committee of the Senate pa'ssed a motion to indefinitely postpone action on the bill and it \ will slumber quietly to the end of the session in the committee pigeon holes unless an effort is made to take It away from the noraraittee. This motion is not likely to be made and even if it Is there is no possibility of securing the necessary 17 votes. Military Bill is Ready. The bill reorganizing the state military department, which has been having a stormy time in the various committees, is about ready for being reported out. It provides for the re organization of the department to put it on a regular war footing all of the time, does away with the present general staff and reduces generally the red tape and the expense of the militia. the kind of employment. W i l l Investigate Pair. The resolution of Senator Scott for an investigation of the state fair was passed by the house. It provides for a joint committee of eight, five from the bouse and three from the senate to make the investigation. While the committee has not been announced it will probably consist of Senators Scott, Watkins and Fowle and Reps. Warner* Odell and-Copley with two other members yet to he selected. The committee will examine into how the fair has been conducted In the past and report whether they believe the state should take over the institution. Morford Has Troublet. Rep. Morford has troubles. He was away on a leave of absence when the tonnage tax bill was voted on hut pthrough a mistake a Detroit paper got him. In the list of the nays. He is now keeping one stenographer writing to his grange constituents explaining that it wasn't so and that if he had been present he would have voted for the bill. To Support Convicts1 Families. The house has passed the Jerome bill which provides for the partial support of convicts' families during the time the head of the family is con* | fined in prison. It provides that $10,- ooo shaW be appropriated annually for this purpose. Gov. Oabont has sent seat little letters of thanks to all of the representatives and senators who voted for him for president in a recent poll of the legislature made by a Detroit newspaper. He received six votes. Rep. Olasner has an idea for fixing up the bills providing for a state Are marshal in order to make his., work more effective and less expensive. He plans to place the work under the labor department atjd to have the factory inspectors and deputy labor com* missiooers make the investigations; necessary for the successful working of the department Teach Agriculture In High Schools. Rep. Dunn has introduced the administration bill for the teaching of agriculture, Industrial and trade courses in all of the high schools in the Btate. If this measure passes it will help to solve the question of the disposition of the primary money as it, will provide for the imployment of new teachers in the high schools of the state. Bar the Insects. Representative Sam O'Dell has in-, traduced a bill to make it a crime for any person to bring Into the state any. insect or tree disease which will hurt fruit trees. The bill has ths backing of tho fruit growers of the state. If amber Sworn In. Rep. David A. Fltagtbboni, newly elected from Port Huron to- succeed the late Rep. C. M. Green, took his seat in the House this week. He is a little fellow, but comes with a high reputation as a lawyer. Rep. Austin hat introduced a bill to regulate the cold storage houses and prevent the storing of food so long that it becomes unfit to1 eat It Is an echo of the campaign of a year or more back to prevent the piling up of food in the store bouses to con* trol prices. — * 1 MICHIGAN HAPPENINGS Port Huron.—WilHam epgineer of the steamer Ionic, who had been missing for two days, was/ found dead In the hold of the boat by Captain Ironsides. Krag and a number of machinists were overhauling the engines of the steam-! ers Huronic and Ionic, which are laid up at the Northern Navigation com-' pany's docks at Sarnia, and King went, aboard the Ionic. That was the last seen of him alive. It was thought that he went ashore during the day, but when his family reported that he had not come home, an Investigation was started. Captain Ironsides final" ly concluded that King had fallen into( the bold of the boat, and found 4he body of the engineer under an open hatch, his skull having been crushed. Port Huron.—Mrs. Maldwin Drummond of Chicago, accompanied by Mrs. L. C. Huck, also of Chl-i cago, were in Port Huron, and! while In the city they had an experi-i ence similar to the one on the ocean liner, when they lost more than $100,-; 000 worth of Jewels. In Port HuronJ the setting of a $1,000 ruby ring was lost in the Harrington hotel, Just Before dinner, and was found by the hotel management the next morning. The setting was sent on to Chicago. Corunna.—Mrs. Sophronla Summers, sixty-five years old and wife of the janitor of the school at Perry, has started suit for $10,000 damages against the Grand Trunk; Railway company. She alleges that, returning to Perry at night, she feH~f down an embankment from a walk; leadtng from the depot and sustained: permanent injuries. She alleges neg-* lect on the part of the defendants infailing to provide a railing or ights. Bessemer.—The Evelin and Osi teroid mines have both been! closed down for an indefinite time on, orders from headquarters at Cleve-j land. The men have all been paid off. The miners at these mines were on strike since the first of the month against the demand that they should sign an agreement relinquishing any claim for damages for accident or death beyond the stipulated "club'' mopey—being seven dollars per week, if injured and incapable to work and' $500 on death. There are 350 men out. —Kalnmaxoo.—-Battle Crook la going WARDEN SIMPSON'S PLAN. Work &9 Many Hours -Each Day for Inmates of Jadksori^prison. * To ^sTatllish a definite number of hours as a day's work tot; the inmates of Jackson prison Is-the latest reform Krag, chief.)-Proposed by Warden Simpson, any it • is • expected he win Inaugurate the change in the near future. The warden believe* the tfamates have too much time on their ha.nds to hatch up Insurrection and plB^i insubordina* tion. Under the present system each convict in the various shops is given a certain amount of work to accomplish) and when it is finished he is at liberty to work or not, just as he pleases. If he chooses to work he receives overtime pay, but if he doesn't work he may loaf about the 6hop. The warden will now make every effort to ascertain the average length of time it takes an inmate to finish his usual stint, and when thia is determined he will make a reasonable addition of time in which an inmate may work on his own overtime. The warden is doing his best to make the Justice of the change apparent to the inmates, so they will have no cause for complaint. The plan at present is to have the convicts work between bells rung at intervals of perhaps seven hours, althoiigh the same number of hours will not prevail in all shops, as it is believed that in some cases old men should not be made to work as long as, young men. The drouth In China grows more serious. Little land except along the streams is being cultivated. N E W L I N E IN C E N T R A L OREGON W i l l Open Up 5,000,000 Acres Government Lands. ___ of Portland, Ore.—The long-heralded invasion of central Oregon by the Hill lines will become a reality on March l, when passengers and freight service will be inaugurated between Clarke, Wash., on the north side of the Columbia river, and Madras, Ore., 115 miles up the Deschutes valley. The new line will open a fertile and tindevelbped territory which heretofore has been difficult of access for lack of transportation facilities. Settlers have been going in by team for the past few months in great numbers and filing on the free homestead lands. There are 5,000,000 acres of government land that will be made immediately accessible. THE MARKETS The chief did so and next week's reunion will be the result. Caro.—Willlam Timlick used gasoline to hurry along a slow fire, and the results were immediate. The resultant explosion covered Timlick with blazing gasoline and he ran into the street with his clothing on fire.

There are two tiny boys in this town whose mother sings often to them at their request, and as she is an ardent church woman, the children hear as many hymns as anything else. The other day they were playing with their wooden ducks in the bathtub, and strangely enough the ducks were more inclined to float sideways than In t h e approved manner. After several attempts to keep the misguided duck* straight the older soy Bhouted: "Stand up, duck, stand up!" Then two-year-old, noting the familiar phrase, leaned Oyer the tub and exhorted: "'Tand up, duck! 'Tand up> for Jesus!" EDITOR BROWNE Of The Roekford Morning Star. "About seven years ago 1 ceased drinking coffee to give your Postum a> trial.

CHAPTER IV,—Continued. "In a word," laughed the judge, "you mean that any one trained to ' Tead my mind can tell just what's passing In my brain?" "Precisely," replied the doctor with a smile "the psychologist can tell with almost' mathematical accuracy just how your mental mechanism Is working. I admit it sounds uncanny, but i t can be proved. In fact, it has been proved, time and time, again." Alicia came up and took the doctor's arm. "Oh, Dr. Bernstein," she protested, ""JLcan't allow the judge to monopolize you in this way. Come with me. I want to introduce you to a most c h a r m i n g woman who is dying to meet you. She is perfectly crazy on psychology." "Don't introduc* rx\e>—to—her," residential district, it took precedence over all jthe other apartment hotels of the metropolis as the biggest and most splendidly appointed hostelry of its kind in the world. It was, indeed, a small city in itself. It was not necessary for its fortunate tenants to leave it unless they were so minded. Everything for their comfort and pleasure was to be had without taking the trouble to go out of doors. On the giotiud floor were shops of all kinds, which catered only to the Astruria's patrons. There were also on the premises a bank, a broker's office, a hairdresser, and a postal telegraph office. A special feature was the.garden court, containing over H0,- 000 square feet of open space, and tastefully laid out with palms and flowers. Here fountains splashed and an orchestra played while the patrons lounged on comfortable rattan chairs or gossiped with their friends. Up on the sixteenth floor was the cool roof garden, an exquisite bower of palms . and roses artificially ; to the class which paid social visits to tenants In. the Astruria. He was rather seedy looking, his collar was not immaculate, his boots were thick and clumsy, his clothes cheap and illfitting. "Is Mr. Underwood in?" he demanded. He wondered if Alicia would Ignore his letter or if she would come to him. Surely she could not be so heartless as to throw him over at suph a moment. Crushed in his left hand was a copy of the New York Herald containing an elaborate account of the brilliant reception and musicale given the previous evening at her home. With an exclamation ol impatience he rose from his seat, threw the paper from him, and began to pace the floor. Was this the end ol everything? Had he reached the end of his rope? He must pay the reckoning, if not toj day, to-morrow. As his eyes waut tiered around the room and he took mental inventory of each costly obi jeet, he experienced a sudden shock I as he recalled the things that were I missing. How could he explain their j absence? The art dealers were al- [ready suspicious. They were not. to | be put olf any longer with excuses, t Any moment they might insist either ! on the immediate return of their prop- "Not home." replied the attendant f / ^ o r on payment in lull lie was insolently, after a pause. Like most j * . l h e VonMaa to ^ neither. The hall boys, he took a savage pleasure ' frUcles h »« been sold and the money in saying that the tenant* were out. ' lwt S ^ h n g . Curse the luck! hvery- The caller looked annoyed. "He must be in," lie said with a frown. "I have an appointment with him." Tills was not strictly true, but the bluff had the desired effect. "Got an appointment! Why didn't you say so at once?" Reaching lazily over the telephone switchboard, and without rising lrum his seat, he asked surlily: _ "What's 'the name?'' "Mr. Bennington." The boy touk the transmitter and laughed the judge. "I see enough crazy people in the law courts." Dr. Bernstein smiled and followed his hostess. Judge Brewster turned t o chat with the banker. From the distant music room came the sound of a piano and a beautiful soprano, voice. The rooms were now crowded and newcomers were arriving each minute. Servants passed In and out serving iced delicacies and champagne. ... Suddenly the butler entered the salon and, quietly approaching Alicia, handed her a letter. In a low tone be said: -- -This letter has just come, m'm. The messenger said it was very important and I should deliver it at once." Alicia turned pale, She instantly recognized the handwriting. It was from Robert Underwood. Was not her last message enough? How dare he address her again and at such a time? Retiring to an inner room, she tore open the envelope and read as follows: Dear Mrs. Jeffries: This' is the lasttime I shall ever bore you with my letters. You have forbidden me to see you again, Practically you have" sentenced me to a living death, but as I prefer death shall not be «partla£ but full and complete oblivion, I take this means of letting you itnow that unless you revoke your, -cruel sentence of banishment, I shall make an end of it all. I shall be found "dead, Monday morning, and you will know who is responsible. Yours devotedly, ROBBRT UNDERWOOD. An angry exclamation escaped Alicia's lips, and crushing the note up In her hand, she bit her lips till the blood came. ^ It was just as she feared. The man was desperate. He was not to be got rid of so -easily. How dare •he—how dare he?, The coward—to think that she could be frightened by such-a threat. Wnat did she care if h e killed himself? It would be good riddance. Yet suppose he was in earnest, suppose he did carry out his threat? There would be a terrible scandal,'. an investigation, people would talk, her name would be mentioned. No—no—that must be prevented a t all costs. Distracted, not knowing what course to pursue, t h e paced the floor of the roem. Through the closed door she could hear the music and t h e chatter' of her gue*ltl7 famous French artist, with its recherche restaurant, its^^p.icturesque tziganes, and its super&^view of all Manhattan island. *" ""* The Astruria was the last word* in expensive apartment hotel building. Architects declared that it was as far as modern lavishness and extravagance could go. Its interior arrangements were in keeping with its external splendor. Its apartments were of noble dimensions, richly decorated, and equipped with every device, new and old, that modern science and builders' ingenuity could suggest. That the rents were on a scale with the "A party called to see Mr, Underwood." ' There w a s ' a brief pause, us it' the person upstairs was in doiibi wheth°r j to admit that he was home or not.! Then came the answer. The boy; looked up. ' "He says you should go up. Apartment 165. Take the elevator." I In his luxurious appointed rooms on the fourteenth floor, Robert Underwood sat before the fire puffing nervously at a strong cigar. All around him was a litter of objets d'art, such as would have filled the heart of any ) thinfj had gone against him of late, f The dealers would begin criminal proceedings, disgrace and prison stripes would follow. There was no way out 1 of it. He had no one to whom he ' could tuin in this crisis. And now t-ven Alicia had deserted lilm. This was the last straw. While ' he was still able to boa*t of the friendship and( patronage of the aris- 'iocratic Mrs. Howard Jeffries he ; could still hold his head hiqh in the world. No one would dare, questton , his integrity, but now she had aban- ^ 'jomd him to his fate, people \voujdbe- ' gin to talk. There was no use kivp- - in;!; in) a hopeless light—suicide was the only way out! I He stopped in front of a mirror, startled at what ho saw there. It was the face of a man not yet 30, but apparently much older. The features were drawn and haggard, and his dark hair was plentifully streaked with gray, lie looked like a man who had lived two lives in one. To-night, his face frightened him. His eyes had a fixed stared like those of a man he had once seen in a madhouse. He wondered if^men looked like that when they were about to be executed, Was not his own hour close at hand? He wondered why the clock was so-noisy; it seemed to him that the ticks were louder than usual, He started suddenly and looked around fearfully. He .Turn ont "Yes, I Must See *Jlm_at Once." gitfH rood She must gd~fc~see Underwood a t once, that w a s certain, and her visit must b e a secret one.

Only long purses could stand the strain. It was a favorite headquarters for Westerners who had "struck it rich," wealthy bachelors, and successful actors and opera singers who loved the limelight on and off the stage. Sunday evening was usually exceedingly quiet at the Astruria. Most of the tenants were out of town over the jpeek-end. and as. the restaurant and roof garden, were only slimly patron* ized, the elevators ran less frequently, making less chatter and bustle in corridors and stairways. Stillness reigned everywhere as If the sobering Influ-' efice of t h e Sabbath tied invaded even this exclusive domain of the unholy rich. The uniformed attendants, having nothing ; to do, yawned lazily in the deserted balls. Some \sven induJgedt An; surreptitious p a p s ; in corners, confident that they would not be disturbed.

On a grand piano in a corner of the room sfood two tall cloisonne vases of almost inestimable value. On a desk close by were piled miniatures - a n d rare ivories. The walls were covered with tapestries, armor, and trophies of arms. More like a museum than a sitting- room, it was the home of a man who made a business of a r t or made of a r t a business, - - ~'- Underwood stared/ moodily at the glowing logs in the open chimneyplace. His flee was pale a n d determined. After coming i n from the restaurant he h a d changed h i * , t a x ^ e d * for, the,, mooa, comfortable bouse coat. Nothing called ,Ja>m away that particular Sunday evening, and no one. was likely to disturb him. Ferris, his.man servant, ban"taken his usual Suadajr off and would not return until midnight. The apartment was still as j h f grave. It was. so high above the street that not a sound reached up froa the noisy, Broadway below. , Underwood liked the quiet so that he could think, and h e was thinking.hard thought he had heard a sound outside, He shuddered as lit: glared toward the little drawer on the right-hand side of his desk, in which he knew there was a loaded revolver. If Alicia would only relent escape might yet be possible. \t he did not hear from her it muefbe for to-night. One .slight little-'pressure on the trigger and all would be over. Suddenly the bell of the telephone connecting the apartment with the main hall downstairs rang violently. Interrupted thus abruptly in the midst of his reflections, Underwood jumped forward, startled. His nerves were so unstrung that he was ever apprehensive of danger. With a tremulous hand, be took hold of the receiver and placed it to his ear, As he listened, his already pallid face turned whiter and the lines about his mouth tightened. He hesitated a moment be fore replying. Then, with an effort, he said: "Send him up." Dropping the receiver, he began to walk nervously up and down the room. The crisis had come sooner than bj^xpected—exposure was at hand. 1 ¾ ^ man Bennington was the manager of the firm of dealers whose goods he disposed of. He could not make restitution. Prosecution was inevltable. Disgrace and prison would follow. He could not stand it; he would rather kill himself. Trouble was very close at hand, that was certain. How could he get out of It? Pacing the floor, he bit his lips till the blood came. There was a sharp ring at the front door. Underwood opened it. As he recognized his visitor on -the threshold, he exclaimed: "Why, Bennington, this Is a surprise!" The manager entered awkwardly. He had the constrained air of a man who has come on an unpleasant errand, bnt wants to be a s amiable as the circumstances will permit. "You didn't expect me, did you?" he began. Shutting the front door, Underwood led the way back into the sitting room, and making an effort to control his nerves, said: v "Sit down, won t you ?" MUST BE PERFECTION SALAD NEVER A DISH T H A T CAf^ BE S L I G H T E D . Clear Judgment and Much Care for This Absolutely Indispensable Adjunct of the Modern Dinner Table. Among the luxuries of our bills of fare there is not one that is more appreciated by everyone than a wellmade salad; there is no department of cooking that demands clearer Judgment in making and serving, than this same salad; while all kinds, from the richest to the simplest, depend on the materials selected and the*ir wise combination. All salads should be served very cold and long standing injures them. Therefore make the dressing and place it near the ice in the cooler before proparing the salad proper. When ready to serve, chill the bowl and the individual salad plate if you would have your salad at its best. Bread an;l butter sandwiches or Boston brown bread thinly sliced and delicately spread with fresh but' ter and filled with a shredded lettuce leaf sprinkled with ground nuts may be served with any salad. Hut with lobster, shrimp or fish salad, "brunettes" are the proper captr; they are made from the white bread and butter sandwiches filled with Neufehatel and minced cress. Mutton sandwiches are liked with vegetable ^salads. They are seasoned with herbs, as mint, pepper grass, celery, salt, curry and minced--pickles. For potato salad prepare cheese straws, or spread .graham bread with a mixture of snappy cheese and the hard boiled yolk of eggs and seasoning. The home-made cheese straws are far better than the made ones, that are sold in cartons, ami will keep as well; they may by reheated just before using. Miss GJrauel's recipe for cheese straws: These are particularly nice, and, if cut evenly, look dainty. Grate three tablespoonfuls of dry, highly seaboned cheese, to it put one-half pint of sifted flour seasoned with salt and paprika; rub together with a tablespoon of butter and cold water as for pastry roll ou rrte-+hiiJloured baking board and t thin. CuMralf the paste into straws and the rest# into rings. Bake until yellow and crisp in a moderate oven and serve with the straws laid in the rings. Rich and elaborate salads are served as a course "by themselves, but when a salad is to accompany a meat course, it should be simple in character and served on Individual salad plates. Very often the salad is placed on such plates and the dressing passed with it on a separate boat or bowl; this manner has much to commend it. With duck, rich ft^h and water fowl, acid salads are served. These are made with a good allowance of lime, lemon Juice or, Tarragon vinegar. Cheese is passed with all green salads and black coffee and saltlnes go with all accompaniments. Sweet rlrinks, as punch and fruit drinks, are never served with fruit or sweet salad, Yours for uniformity. Yours for greatest l e a v e n i n g power. Yours for never failing results.

Stuffed Cabbage. Choose a firm, solid white cabbage, remove the outer leaves, and with a very sharp knife remove entirely the heart. Put it into xold wafer and let it slowly come to the boiling point and scald ten minutes, Remove onto a kitchen platter, and when the first heat passes off place a green pepper stuffed with a little highly seasoned force meat, carefnly raise some of the leaves, and put some of the force meat between them. Add a dash of pepper and salt and cover with a cheesecloth binder. Place- it now in a stewpan with a bunch of sweet herbs, a clove, a pint of stock and water enough "to cover it. When slowly boiled until very tender, but not all to pieces, drain carefully. Strain and thicken as much of the gravy as will be needed, pour over the cabbage and serve garnished with parsley and beet roses. Prof. Stork—And how are we getling on with our studies, Ernestine?

Considerable satisfaction «111 be felt by mankind generally at the argument advanced by a married woman In i suit Involving another woman thai "i husband la property to a wife and a family, and to win him away is nothing short of stealing." So it Is the husband and not the wife that is the "human chattel." Tae admission controverts the theory upheld through generations of feminist protest against the, serfdom Imposed by man on his domestic partner through unequal mar. rlage laws, says the New York Herald. The honest confession that the contrary is the case has been secured at last, but at a cost to feminine consistency which may be expected to bring its proper rebuke from every woman** cltfb m t h e land. T h e fair plaintiff to secure her own ends has proved false to one of the cheriBhed IniTiciples of her sex. But the truth I* out. It iB mat* who is the chattel, possession of whom is gained by tiie marriage ceremony and the right, title and interest to whom has been established in Buits for non-support or for abandonment during marriage as well a s in alimony proceedings afterward. His status as matrimonial property has, to be sure, long been a. matter of court record. PRESIDENT T A F T WATCHES CLOSING SCENES, T H E N CALLS EXTRA SESSION. TARIFF BOARD BILL PASSED BY SENATE, 16 DEFEATED IN T H E HOUSE. Here is high valetry and variety with a vengeance! A roomelerk in an uptown palace hotel tells of a palace revolution that douhle discounts a jerked-beef mutiny in Rio Janeiio, says the- New York Press. He says: "The Valets an8"maids we get here lire far'iriore difficult to deal with than their masters and m i s t r e s s ^ . Most of them insist upon leaving roomys withj private baths and turn up their nouee :;t anything else. It has happened at ^ times that; the servants' rooms were all occupied and we had to put a valet or a maid into a room with a bath, a regular guest room, charging the regular servant rate. The result is that every 'gentleman's gentleman' that comes here now demands a. 'bahth' as his inalienable right." The coming generation, in our ciUes at least, is likely to have a more lively appreciation of the value of freBh fiir than the one that has preceded. Within the past three years nearly fifty cities have established open«alr schools for the benefit of tuberculous children, says ..the Uoston Transcript. Providence began it and other municipalities have followed on, though not all have developed the idea to the same extent. Boston, for Instance, might profitably carry it farther than she has. Pawtucket, Tt. 1.,. not only has a fine open-air school, but proposes to have at least one open,-air room in -every school building in the city, where delicate children can receive the tonjc influence which nature «o bountifully provides. Stormy House Filibuster at Close o1 the Session Forces Withdrawal of Taft Bill. The sixty-first congress came to an end Saturday by constitutional limi tation. Despite the peril that threat ened some of the big appropriation bills almost up to the last moment they all finally got through and re ceived the signature of the president. The last bill signed by the speaker of the House was the postoffice appropriation act. Consideration of immediate s t a t e hood for New Mexico and Arizona held up the business of the Senate for two hours and threatened to de feat several big appropriation bills. The Senate had under consideration the resolution formally approving the New Mexico constitution. Senator Owen insisting, that the Arizona constitution should be approved at the same time, held the floor against all efforts to displace him until the Senate leaders agreed to couple Arizona with New Mexico. After the two propositions had been coupled, however the Senate v<*ted down the "resolution, 45 to 39. It was asserted later that this does not mean Mexico cannot be admitted by action of the president. Tariff Beard Bill Passes. Amid turbulent .scenes the Senate passed the tariff board bill by a vote of GO to 23. The end of the lone? tight for this board, strongly recommended by President Taft, came amid stormy scenes. The bill provides f«r the Removal cf the tariff out of politics. It places inquiries into tariff matters into the hands of a commission of expert:--, who will investigate one Schedule at a time from a purely scientific point of view and report to congress as to what duties should be lowered or-increased.

President Tal't fftced Aprilj'4 as the date for the convening of thje Sixtysecond congress in extraordinary session. After reciting the-steps already taken between the United States and Canada with regard to reciprocity, the president's proclamation ssps: - "The agreement transmited to con-1 gress stipuUJej..not only, thai A&94 president of the United States will I communicate to congress t4|e concfo; sions now '. reached and recommends the adoption of such legislation as may be necessary on tfte part of the United States to give effect to the proposed agreement, but also that the government of the two countries will use their utmost efforts to bring about such changes by concurrent legisla*. tion at Washington and at Ottawsf. "Now, therefore, by virtue of the power vested In me* by the constitution, I do hereby proclaim and declare that an extraordinary occasion requires ttie convening of both houses of the congress of the United States at their respective chambers in the city of Washington on the fourth of April, 1911, at 12 o'clock noon, to the end that they may consider and determine whether the congress shall, by the necessary legislation, make operative the agreement." !.', i Ur- ra THE T W O PARTY CONVENTIONS AND T H E N0WHNEE3 TO BE VOTED FOR.

Senate was withdrawn and eliminat ed by the House, after one of the n->ost riototis filibusters soon in that body for years. The withdrawal was formally mad*; by Republican loader Payne. fe^ K n r The filibusters began wlt-h tbe-ftrst movement to put through the tariff board measure under an agreement limiting debate. The Democrats objected to the consideration of the measure and started a series of roll calls which defeated the measure,- All appearance of order was freqneutiy lost- in the Hoiree. Speaker Cannon repeatedly ordered the ^ergeant- at-arms to drive 'members back into their seats. Democrats clamored for the recognition they claimed wan denied them, and the Republican leaders adopted every possible expedient to-bead off the filibuster. The deficiency appropriation bill was saved by a parliamentary move unexpected by the FltzRerald forces. Chairman Tawney of the appropriations committee ^was recognized by the first seconi" ie"e; ^ this means"""rre^had the conference report up for consideration before the Democrats could heail^if off and the defeat of the bill by " t h e time limit was avoided. The House at 12:35 p. m. adjourned sine die, following a speech by Speaker Cannon, in which he discussed the policy he had sought to observe In pre aiding over the lower House of congress. The speaker expressed the Taith that the next House will observe fair play under the constitution. Speaker Cannon in his farewell speech said he would b« glad to serve under "the general rule" of Speakerto- be Clark, following adjournment.

The Republican state convention, held in Saginaw, was chiefly distinguished by the address of Governor Osborne strongly endorsing the proposed reciprocity treaty with Canada.

The election of United States Senators by popular vote is endorsed in these words: This is'said of the governor: "Manly, courageous, well poised, Gov. Osborn is giving to the administration of state affairs an ability rarely equaled in executive performance in Mich-, igan histaory." The platform concludes: "Too strong commendation cannot be made of the announced purpose of the governor and the appropriation committees of both Senate and House to refuse all special ^appropriations asked by stale institutions which are not absolutely essential to their continued operation: in j the present, state of finance in which I Michigan finds itself the mast rigid economy consistent with good public service is demanded.

Superintendent of public instruction —John B. Cleveland, Muskegon. The platform reaffirms the platform adopted at Kalamazoo in 1910. Congratulations are extended the people on the election of two Democratic congressmen and says: "We recognize the merit embodied in the true principle of reciprocity properly applied in connection with concurrent downward revision of the tariff, and we commend the statesmanship of the Democratic representatives in congress who rose above partisanship in connection with the pending treaty, and declare that we have full confidence that the Democratfc house of representatives will promptly enact measures for the downward revision of the tariff on such commodities and products as will remove discrimination and make the same equitable for all classes. "We reaffirm our belief in the principles of the initiative, referendum and recall." The platform concludes with a sharp criticism of the present state administration and adds: "We renew our declaration of previous campaigns that Michigan will never be redeemed from misrule, questionable politics and political corruption until a complete change in party control Is accomplished; and the Democratic party renews its pledge to bring about such reformation if given the opportunity."

The convicts will be brought In .for a preliminary examination in secret. It their testimony is against the warden, and is sufficiently serious to be considered, the men will be>TOUgot in for examination by the warden, and he will be permitted to offe> counter testimony. It developed that the chief thing t h e warden fears is charges which, it is said, will be brought against him by his political enemies in Marquette, outside of the question of the treatment of convicts. It was agreed that any such testimony is to be presented In open court. The warden told the mei*bers of the committee that he thought they wanted to be fair. Mr. Russell surprised the committee by declaring that the paddle is only applied until the prisoner gives in and promises to obey the rules in the future. "That's the purpose of the paddle. When a man promises to obey the rules that's all tliere is to it. "The prisoners are stripped and covered with a sheet," said Mr. Russell. "They are caused to bend over the barrel and the paddle, dipped in salty water, is applied. You bet it stings, but it doesn't break the flesh oif cause permanent injury. The purpose of the punishment is to secure the greatest amount of pain without possibility;_ of serious injury to the subject. -^ Promptly Confirmed.

T H E YOUNG BRIDE'S FIRST DISCOVERY T^eir wedding tour had ended, and they entered their new home to settle down to what they hoped to be one long uninterrupted blissful honeymoon. But, alas! the young bride's trouble* rt>on begin? when she tried to reduce the cost of living with cheap big can baking powders. She soon discovered that all she got was a lot for her money, and it was notalMtftWing powder, for the bulk of it was cheap materials which had no leavening power. Such powders will not make light, wholesome food. And because of the absence of leavening gas, it requires from two or three times as much to raise cakes or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking Powder. Thus, eventually, the actual cost to you, of cheap baking powders, is mor,e than Calumet would be. Cheap baking powders often leave the bread bleached and acid, sometimes yellow and alkaline, and often unpalatable. They are not always of uniform strength and quality.( Now the bride buys Calumet—the per* fectly wholesome baking powder, moderate in price, and always uniform and reliable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, make* cooking easy, and is certainly the most economical after all.

The richly decorated reception rooms, brilliantly illuminated with toft incandescent lights artistically arranged behind banks of flowers, lw«re filled with people. In the air •was the familiar buzz always p,re_sent In a room wMre each person is trying to speak at the stme time. On all •sides one heard fragments of inept conversation. "So good of you to come! How well you're looking, my dear." "My husband? Oh, he's at the club, playing poker, as usual. He hates music." "I've such a terrible cold!" "Trouble with servants? I should eay so. I bounced my cook this morning." "Aren't these affairs awfully tiresome?" "I was so glad to come. I always enjoy your musicales." "Dr. Bernstein coming? How perfectly delightful. I'll ask him for his autograph."' "What's psychology?" i. "Something tu du Willi, religion, 1 think." "Haven't we bren having dreadful •weather?" "1 saw you at the opera." "Doesn't she look sweel?" "Oh, I think it's just lovely." People now arrived in quick succession and, forming little groups, the room soon presented an animated scene. The' women in their smart gowns and the men in their black coats made a pleasing picture. "Sly dear Sirs. Jeffries, how do you do this evening?" exclaimed a rich, deep voice. The hostess turned to greet an elderly and distinguished-looking man Who/bad just entered. Directly he came Jn voices were hushed, and on every aide one heard the whisper: ^There's Judge Brewster, the famous lawyer," There was a general craning of necks to catch a glimpse of the eminent jurist whose brilliant address to the j u r j f i n a recent cause celebre nad saved an innocent man from the electric chair. Richard Brewster was a fine example of the old school statesmanlawyer of the Henry Clay 'type. He belonged to that small class of public men who are independent of all coteries, whose only ambition is to l*#erve their country well, who know mo other duty^than that dictated by Kfuvsc?" if:," liant and forceful orator, there-^vas no office in the gift of the nation that might not have been hfs'for the asking, but he hadi^nCfaate for politics. After aervlngr with honor for some years pxtthe bench he retired Into private practice, and thereafter hie -liame became one ^ 6 conjure with In t h e - law courts. By sheer power of his matchless oratory and unanswerable logic he won case after case for etidats and it is a tribute to his t | | record the plain fact that in Career he -never championed a Mfl£*which he Heed be ashamed. Powerful financial interests bad attempted t o secure his services by offers'of princely retainers, but without success. He fought the trusts bitterly every time he found them oppressing bis profession. Alicia advanced with extended hand. "This ^s indeed kind, judge," she exclaimed with a gracious smile. "I hardly dared hope that my poor musicale would be so honored." v ; ' ^ 1!he«old lawyer smiled good-humor- S ^ ^ P W f a 8 he replied gallantly: •' M ^ ¾ don't know much about music, Judge Brewster dubiously. " I Don't Know Much About Music, NTm." shook his head —" S o , sir, we lawyers never rest. We can't. No soorter is one case disposed of than another crops up to claim our attention, The trouble with this country is that we have too much law. < If I were to be guilty of an epigram I would say that the country has so-much law that it is practically lawless." "So you're preparing another case, eh'?" said- Sir. Jeffries; interested. "What is it—a secret?" "Oh, n o ! " answered the lawyer, "the newspapers will bo full of it in a day or two. We are going to bring suit against the citr. It's really a test case that should interest every citizen; a protest against the highhanded" actions of the police." The banker elevated his eyebrows. 'Indeed," he exclaimed. -"-W4wrti tering women. Each was more elab^- have the police been doing now?" The lawyer looked at his client in surprise. "Why, my dear sir, you must have seen by the papers what'B been going on in our city of late. The papers have been full of it. Police brutality, Illegal arrests, assaults in station houses, star-chamber methods that would disgrace the middle ages. A state of affairs exists to-day in the city of New York wl#ch is inconceivable. Here we are living in a civilized country, every man's liberty is guaranteed by the constitution, yet citizens, a s they walk our streets, are their oath and conscience. A brib-Hh greater peril than the inhabitants "3:; * • sf-^rtfi; I came to see you." Looking f •^•'••liihad lie added: "You've got a nice $g-,v|lifce here.* ' " e spoke in his characteristic manshort, nervous, explosive sena, which had often terrified his opponents in court. "Lawyers are such flatterers," laughed Alicia a s she nervously fanned herself, and looked around tdtpee if her guests were watching. "Lawyers only flatter when they m a f to," Interrupted Mr. Jeffries, M k > bad Just joined the group. !< *Uic*a turned to greet a new arrival the lawyer continued chatting hlehbet. •upnjpe you,'iJ. take a. reat now, tmr eeeendid Ttotofy,* ftflhi the -iV^-.-r-r •"1 •» and the girl went free, but think of t h e h n m M i n H n n m i d i i i i n i l i i l H I I ^ M T U I I ' she underwent! It was simply a repetition c-f his old tactics. A.couviction. no, matter at what cost. "What do you hope to bring about by this suit?" "Arouse public indignation, and if possible get Capt. Clinton dismissed from the force. His record is none too savory. Charges of graft have been made against him time and time again, but so far nothing lias boon proved. To-day he is a man of wealth on a comparatively small salary. Do you suppose his money could have come to him honestly?" In another corner of the salon stood Dr. irernstoin, the celebrated psychologist, the center of an excited crowd* of enthusiastic admirers. Alicia approached a group of chatof terror-stricken Russia. Take a po \\CB official of Capt. Clinton's type. Hfs only notion of the law, is brute force and the night stick. A bully by nature, a man of the coarsest instincts and enormous physical strength, he loves to play the tyrant. In his precinct he poses as a kind of czar and fondly imagines he has the power to administer the law itself. By his brow-beating tactics, intolerable under Anglo-Saxon government, he is turning our police force into a gang of ruffians who have the city terrorstricken. In order to further his political ambitions he stops at nothing. .He lets the guilty escape when influence he can't resist is brought to bear, but in order to keep up his record with the department he makes arrests without the slightest justification. To secure convictions he manufactures, with the aid of his detectives, all kinds of perjured evidence. To paraphrase a well-known saying, his motto is: 'Convict—honestly, if you can-—but convict.' " "It is outrageous," said Mrr~<Jeffrtes. "No one can approve such methods. Of course, in dealing with the criminal population of a great city, they cannot wear kid gloves, but Capt. Clinton certainly goes too far, What is the specific complaint on which the suit is based?" "Capt. Cllaton," replied the judge, "made ,the mistake of persecuting a young woman who happened to be the daughter of a wealthy client of mine. One of his detectives arrested h e r on a charge of shoplifting. The girl, mind you, is of excellent family and irreproachable character. My client and his lawyer tried to show Capt. Clinton that he had'made a serioua blunder, but he brasened it out, claiming on the stand that the girt waa a n old offender^ Of oonrte, ^ h e waa forced at last Jo admit hit mUttk* orately dressed than her neighbor, and loaded down with rare gems. They at once stopped talking as their hostess came up. "It was so good of you to come!" said Alicia effusively to a fat woman with Impossible blonde hair and a rouged face, "I want to introduce ~TJr. Bernstein to you." "Oh, I shall be delighted," smiled the blonde. Gushingly she added: "How perfectly exquisite you look tonight, my dear." "Do you think so?" said Alicia, pleased at the clumsy flattery. s "Your dress is stunning and your tiara simply gorgeous," raved another. "Your musicales are always so delightful," exclaimed a third. At that moment Mr. Jeffries caught his wife by tne arm and drew her attention to some newcomers. With a laugh she left the group and hurried toward the door. Directly she was out of earshot, the three women began whispering: ^"Isn't she terribly overdressed?" exclaimed the blonde. "The cheek of such a parvenue to wear that tiara." "Her face is all made up, too," said another. "These affairs of hers are awfully stupid, don't you think so?" piped the third. "Yes, they bore everybody to death," said the blondev "She's ambitious and likes to think she is a social leader. I only come here because it amuses me to see what a fool she makes of herself. Fancy a woman of her age marrying a man old enough to be her father. By the by, ^ don't see hervbeau here to-night." "You mean that scamp, Robert Underwood?" "Isn't it perfectly scandalous, the way he dances after her? I'm surprised Mr. Jeffries allows him to come to the house." "Maybe there's been a row. Perhaps that explains why he's not here to-night. It's the first time I've known him absent from one of her musicales." * - "He's conspicuous by his absence. Do you know what I heard the other day? I waa told that Underwood had again been caught cheating a t cards and summarily expelled fr?m t h e club —kicked out, so to apeak.' "I'm not a t all surprised. I always had my doubts about h l a . *He induced a friend of mine to buy > ptc/ tune, and got a tremeadoua price,for It M ta* faise representation thai ft. waa a genuine Corpt My triend fbtfrkd out afterward that he had been duped. Proceedings .were threatened, but Underwood managed to hush the affair by returning part of the money." In another part of the room a couple were discussing Sir. Jeffries as lie stood, talking with Judge Brewster. "Did you notice how Mr. Jeffries has aged recently? He no longer seems the same mar/." "No Wonder, after all the trouble he's had. Of/course you know what a disappointment his son turned out?" "A scamp, I understand. Married a chorus girl and all that sort of thing." "Not exactly, but almost as bad. The girl was a waitress or something like that in a restaurant. She's very common; her father died in prison. You can imagine the blow to old Jeffries. He turned the boy adrift and left him to shift for himself." Alicia approached her husband, who was still ta_lking_withJudge Brewster She was leaning on the arm of a tall. handsome man with a dark Van Dyke beard. "Who are yon discussing wjth such interest?" she demanded', as she came up with her escort. "We Avere talking of Capt. Clinton and his detestable police methods," said the banker. "Judge," said Alicia, turning to the lawyer, "allow me to introduce Dr. Bernstein. Doctor, this is Judge Brewster." The stranger bowed low, as he replied courteously: "The-fame of Judge Brewster has spread to "eSwy state in the union." A faint smile spread, over the face of the famous lawyer as he extended his hand: " ^ . ^ "I've cJlBn—lK'ard -ftt-xou. too, doc7 tor. I've been reading with great interest your book, 'Experimental Psychology.' Do you know," he wont on earnestly, "there's a lot in tiiat. We have still much to learn in that direction." "I think," said Dr. Bernstein, quietly, "that we're only on the threshold of wonderful discoveries." Pleased to find that her two distinguished guests were congenial, Alicia left them to themselves and joined her other guests. "Yes," said the lawyer musingly, "man has studied for centuries the mechanism at. Ihtx body, but he has ncgiecto^ entirely the mechanism of the mind." Dr. Bernstein smiled approvingly. "We are just waking up," he replied quickly. "People are beginning to look upon psychology seriously. Up -'to comparatively recently the layman has regarded psychology as the domain of the philosopher and the dreamer. It did not seftrrr^possible that it could ever be applied to our practical everyday life, but of late we have made remarkable strides. Although it is a comparatively new science, you will probably be astonished to learn that there are to-day in the United States 50 psychological laboratories. That is to say, workshops fully equipped with every device known for the probing of the human brain. In my laboratory in California alone I have as many as twenty rooms hung with electric wires and equipped with all the necessary instruments— chronoscopes, kymograph, tachistoscopes and ergographa — instruments which enable us to measure, and record the human brain as accurately as the Bertillon system." "Really,' you astonish m e ! " exclaimed the judge. "This is most interesting. Think of laboratories solely devoted to delving into mysteries of the human brain! It fs wonderful!" He was silent for a moment, then he said: "It is quite plain, I think, that psychology can prove most useful in medicine. It is, I take It, the very foundation of mental healing, but what else would it do for humanity? For instance, can it help me, the lawyer?" Dr, Bernstein smiled. "You gentlemen of the law have always scoffed at the very suggestion of bringing psychology to your aid, but just think, sir, how enormously it might aid you in cross-'fexnmining a witness. You can tell with almost scientific accuracy *if the witness is telling lies or the truth, and the same would be clear to the judge and (he Jury. Just think how your powers would be increased if by your skill in, psychological observation you could convince the jury that your client, who was about t o be convicted on circumstantial evidence alone, was really innocent of the crime of which he waa charged. Why, sir, the road which psychology opens up to the lawyer ia well-nigh boundless. Don't you use the Bertillon system to meaaure the body? Don't you rely on thumb prints to identify the hand? How de you know that we psychologists are not able to-day to teat the individual <iii< ferepcea of men?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) To the Man ef Hence. Beat g*i*» «rc the name la loetee -Heskd. TOWER TO BE SAVEO Huge Eiffel iStflictyre Converter Into Wireless Station. From Its Top Messages Arc Sent 5,000 Miles—Soon to Be in Touch W i t h the United States. P a r i s . - F r o m .the summit of the Elf fel tower, 984 feet in the air, scientists communicate with ships nearly 5,000 miles out at sea. It is radio-telegraphy which makes it possible to transmit to all vessels within that dis tance a given time, say the hour of noon, mathematically exact within the tenth of a second, the speed of the Hertzian waves being almost-equal to. that jot light. Put in possession of the chronometrlc time, the sailor determines the exact spot where the ship is at that moment. He calculates the longitude and the latitude with absolute correctness. The Importance of this exactitude lies in the fact that It allows of the correction of serious errors. The best marine chronometers In use are subject, after a few weeks or months of navigation, to variations of two gr three seconds or more, and each epfor of a second in time corresponds to the exact position of the ship. A metre ia slightly more than a yard. Th6 method now used at the Eiffel tower >wa3 first experimented with last June. An increase in the power of electric batteries and Improvements in other instruments enabled radiotelegraphic signals to be sent and received. Certain wireless telegraph stations in the Unitdd States, which have water power at their disposal and are thus able to produce larger quantities of electric energy, had already sent electric waves as far as Europe, where they were registered by sensitive apparatus. In transmitting the hour to ships at sea the co-operation of the Paris observatory Is, of course, required. In the silent observatory are the two principal ctocks_re_gulated to the hundredth of a second, which were ordered by Bailiard, the director of the observatory, from T,eroy, the chronometer maker of the French navy.

Exactly at 10:59 o'clock In the morning and at 11:59 at night the astronomer on duty, with one eye on the telescope, watches the hand of the clock and sends the first electric signals to the wireless telegraph station near the tower, From there, Immediately transmitted by radie-telegraphy, they travel immense distances, warning navigators and other wireless stations. Then, exactly # the hour, and twice again a t intervals of two minutes, the clockwork automatically establishes a contact, by means of which an electric manipulator in the Eiffel tower sets up a discharge of Hertzian waves. These waves, spreading through space, reach t h e limits of the immense circle of which the tower is tho center, Influencing all the receivers in this area and conveying to all, as It were, the beat of a heart which is felt in the pulsations of the remotest arteries. In the wireless telegraphy station, 100 yards away in the Champs-de- Mars, tho military authorities hold sway. The station keeps Paris In touch with the frontier, and even with remote posts in Africa. It was the great services rendered by wireless telegraphy during the French expedl tion to Morocco which led to the pro vision of modern quarters to tho wire less telegraph corps In Paris. These quarters are underground and it Is there that the engineer officer? and sergeants carry on their expert ments daily. On one door may be read the impressive words "Danger tc life." The door leads to the first bat tery, which has been In operation eev eral years and gives upwards of 50, 000 volts and a range of 2,500 kilometres. ^ And so the permanency of t h e Eiffel tower ia assured.

C l u g — ) (C«§yri»ki ! » « * » t SritaU.j I RING the two years that 1 had acted as secretary to Dr. Ivan Brodsky, assisting him In his psychical experiments. I had been enabled to build up an active medical practice of my own. My duties were light; often the doctor did not call upon my services for two or three weeks together. More and more rarely had be done so of recent months, and gradually the conviction, sure, although intuitive, was borne in upon me that the days of our association were num. bered. » Although comparatively young in years, Brodsky lived through the existences of three ordinary men. His early revolutionary career in Poland, his struggles in America, at first for the mere necessities of life, afterward for success; finally, the dedication of his career to the solution of psyschical problems lias satiated him with worldly experiences. He was unmarried; his only ties lay, as he had told me, upon the veiled shore of eternity, 1 felt that life held nqthing further far him. "Death," he said to me once, "is no result *-of physical processes. So wonderful a machine is the hun.an ody that there exists no reason at ail why it should not go on forever. What kills is the satiation with earthly experiences that comes to us; it is the longing of the soul fm Its resting place, where it stores up and absorbs all the/results of its earthly achievements until it is ready to renew them In some fresh incarnation." "And you—are you satisfied?" I ventured to ask. "Not with the world," ho answered. "Hut with my own personalitf*-yes. I am tired of Ivan Brodsky. These incarnations are the merest halting places in the soul's long pilgrimage. I would like to take up my work afiesli, but In a dlffereht Body, so (hat I might forget Brodsky, with his hopes and longings and disappointments, and face the world with the fresh anticipations and new faith of a child." "But that is annihilation," I cried. "All the dreams of immortality that are the hope of the world, the desire for continued personal existence afler death—are thepe all useless?" "By no means," the doctor answered. "The personality persists after the change called death. It remains BO long as it is needed. Reincarnation is not fulfilled until the soul has grown tired of its remembrances and voluntarily descends, after some thousand years of dreams, to gain new experiences, And then, though it puts off the old personality forever, the resultB of its acts remain to modify its new life; shadowy remembrances flit through the brain; old friends are encountered; besides, in the end, everything Is remembered. • /Vftr those, who wish continued, personality There is a heaven of rest where every dream and hope come true. But as for myself, I confess, if only I could start life again and take up my work in a new body I should be infinitely content. Nor will this be long, I believe." I knew that he alluded to his heart, which was somewhat affected; yet the danger was not imminent nor likely to become so for many years to come. "At any rate, I shall be ready to answer the call, when it comes," said the doctor. He walked over to his desk and unlocked a -drawer. "Here Is a sealed letter that I have left you," he said. "After my death you will open it." I wondered even then why he did Hot lock the drawer. I remembered this conversation the more vividly in the light of subsequent events. It must have been a little more than a week later when he sent for me. "1 am resolved to undertake an experiment," be said, "more difficult than any that 1 have ever attempted. It has been done before; yet it is arduous and uncertain. You have heard of the Indian fakirs who actually pass over the borderland of death, allowing themselves to be buried in a grave, on which the grass sprouts, only to be revived after a period of months?" "You will not attempt such a s experiment as that?" I cried. . "No," answered the doctor, -ft would be senseless to attempt so foolish an experiment without grave reason. Nevertheless I am planning one. somewhat analogous; I Intend to past through the gates of death for the sake of giving bsck to one who has been deprived of it his inheritance of the soul." "You mean the Imbecile!" I cried, suddenly understanding. "Yes," answered the doctor. "I hope that this will succeed; but if my own death be the result,,at least the last act of my life will have been to. some good purpose?" And I would not dissuade him from hia In tendon. Among the dosen or more Inmates of Dr. Brodsky's home, whom he maintained out of his o*wrr pocket, was an Imbecile orphan, aome seven years of age. Thta child had never exhibited the slightest sign of intelligence; he lived a purely vegetative existence, had never learned to crawl, to uiter a word. He did not even post-ess the common animal facu l t y of recognising one person from another. As there existed no apparent cause for this defect, no deformity of the head or body, and the vital functions being la perfect condition, many theories had been advanced as to the cause of so singular an anomaly. Dr. Brodsky, after studying the child for many months, had finally formulated his own conclusions. "It is one of those rare cases," he said, "in which ibe soul was not born into the body. Itv remains shut out. as you can imagine yourself shut out of your hoiuse. Doubtless It is hovering in close proximity to the mortal form, connected, as it must be, by the ethereal ligatures that bind it to the spinal cord. In this condition, it is practically deprived of Its existence upon either of the planes; it is earthbound and spirit-bound. And there is only one remedy; some other disembodied soul must-assist it.--It is my plan to pass out of the body temporarily and to compel it to incarcerate itsplf." "And if you cannot return?'^ I cried. "I shall ask your assistance in this matter," the doctor answered. "I shall give you careful instructions, which you will fulfill to the letter. If, after the lapse of a certain time, you find that these attempts are fruitless, you will break open the letter which 1 have left for you in the bureau drawer, and read it." I can hardly tell how this project affected me. In vain I pointed out to the doctor the inexpediency, from a pure'.y utilitarian point of view, of risking his own life for the sake of giving intelligence to the imbecile. But my words were unheeded. I felt effects of the, current, but under the surgeon's knife. I have especially contrived this Instrument for the purpose of proving my contention, although 1 little imagined at the .time I set it forth that I was likely to be the first subject. The soul, which is purely electrical, is attached to the body by extremely tenuous, but none the less substantial ligaments, and, when driven out by some violent shock, remains tor some days floating above it, until the ligaments give way and set it free. By means of this mechanism I claim that the expelled soul can be conducted along the wire and stored within the globe, which U,*vnerfect vacuum, ajad where Its. 'presence will be indicated by the appearance of a wisp ef light. "To sum up, I shall electrocute myself and the Imbecile child. You will wait until you see the two threads of flame appear within the center of the globe. Then you will fling back the lever, and again push it forward to the notch marked E. That will be all your task. The reversal of the current will again force each separate soul along the wire—mine, into my own body, and the imbecile"s, 1 hope into his." "But if you do not awaken?" I cried. "You will then wait until Rome unusual symptom intervenes, either in the child or in myself. And now 1 confess that I am sufficiently humar to\ feel a certain sense of apprehension. So give me your hand; remember, if this should be our last experiment, we have yet many more parts to play, and lives to play them in; be ready to play your own part sturdily in this." He gripped my hand in farewell. My own answered the pressure; then 1 averted my head anfl waited. Meanthat in truth this was to be our last experiment, that it amounted almost to premeditated suicide. I refused to participate in it. •, Well, in the end, of course, I consented, though I felt that this would be the last occasion upon which I should look into the doctor's face while he was alive. Looking back now, I think my mind must have been warped; I accuse myself a hundred timts of having been the cause of Brodsky's death. Yet the first lesson that he had implanted in my mfnd, ever since I first heard him lecture to us students at the hospital, was the duty of obedience. He had commanded and it was for me to obey. Especially, however, I base my vindication v upen that hypnotic power through the medium of which Brodsky possessed the ability to compel me, or anyone else, to obey him. Some days elapsed before the experiment was made. "Brodsky occupied, himself during this interval, as I surmised, In setting hia affairs in order. At last, upon the afternoon appointed, 1 repaired with him to his laboratory, a long chamber In the rear .of the house, completely shut off from all communication with the external. Ordinarily there was no sound within, but now a great electrical engine buzzed and throbbed beside a low, flat table, raised only some six inches above the floor, and surmounted by a large bowl of a translucent blue, into which the wires entered. Upon the table the imbecile child sat. propped up against a flexible pillow of rubber, or some similar non-conducting material, searching the room with hiSv large lack-luster eyet. The doctor stooped over his machine and midfe bis adjustments; then he connected a rubber sponge, at the termination of a network of wires, with the child's spine, and bound it there with strips of cloth in such a manner that it could not be removed. He drew another wire,' terminating in a similar sponge, from the recesses of the machine, and affixed it to himself In the same way; finally, he united both to the metal base of the globe with a clamp. Immediately the globs became dark and opaque. "That is the measure of our vital forces," he said. "And now I will give you your instructions. "It was my intention to ask you to press the lever which will send the high voltage through our bodies. But in case of any untoward results you would reproach yourself with being my slayer. 1 shajl, therefore, myself press the lever, and Isy upon you only the responsibility of recalling me to Mfe again. "When I press this lever It will send a current of electricty of fevers I thousand volts directly through our bodies. The effect will be the sr.me as that which is produced by an electrocution. Now it has always been my claim—although the authorities of our prisons would never permit me to demonstrate it—that the man who has suffered electrocution can invariably be revived by the proper methods, since the current merely paralyzes the nerve centers and suspends the vital functions, without destroying any of the tissues. The criminal who goes to the electric chair dJoJ. not from the lowed mine, and a current of unjntetigible babbling came from between the child's lips. But Brodsky lay as when he had fallen, nor was there any relaxation in the stiffened limbs. A spasm of fear seemed to turn the muscles of my heart to stone. 1 stared into the bowl. There was but one light there now, a tiny, fluttering thing, that seemed each moment to become more and mere attenuated. It danced more feebly, beating from side to side in inefficiency, now darting back, now dancing forward once again to where the wires entered the vacuum. I bent over the body of the doctor, chafing the hands in vain; I».touckjdv the. cbeaks, .tow growing cold. More and more slowly moved that butterfly light. It hovered, a pitiful, tiny thing, poised in the midst of the globe, which was itself changing In color and slowly fading in brilliancy. Now it was a deep blue, merging into indigo, and from the edges black shadows seemed to creep forward and envelope that little spark at the heart of it. This became but a pin-point of light; then it glowed no more than, ihe burnt-out end of » match. One instant it flickered up; then it went out abruptly, and the globe was utterly dark and opaque. I placed my hand oace more on the doctor's. It was icily cold, and, as T bent over him, I saw the stiffness go out of the muscles and the limbs relax. Some frenzy must have overcome me next. I must have torn away the wires and overturned the globe, for, when I came to my senses, nothing remained of the apparatus except the lifeless bulk of the electrical machine, while all around me was a wreckage of wires, f lifted the doctor's body in my arms and Tarried him into his % ^^SW^MC'J K^eznet frenzy xntisi Asv*»; ovwrconme. while BrodBky, kneeling on the low table, in the position of a Japanese In some old print, about to commit the fatal thrust that should cause instantaneous death, braced himself against the Rubber pillow and stretched, out his hand. I beard the imbecile cackle grotesquely, I heard the soft thu^Tof the doctor's body as he collapsed sidewise; and suddenly the opaque globe became a dazzling blue and blue fire spluttered along the wires. It was almost too bright for my eyes to look into it. Gradually it subsided, the globe became a pearly gray, and therewithin, dimly visible through the glass, were two bright flames. Butterfly- shaped, they seemed to pursue one another as goldfish in a bowl, circling and doubling upon their courses, now approaching each other, now dancing apart, now fused into one, elongating, and again retreating to opposite sides of the globe; yet never for one Instant did they cease to hover, with poised and pendulous wings. I stole a fiance at the body of the doctor. He had fallen upon bis side, and lay motionless, apparently lifeless, his limbs outstretched and stiffened as those of a man in some cataleptic trance, while at bfs side, In the same state, the imbecile lay, with glassy eyes wide open. Was it indeed possible, I asked myself, that thove two souls, one Imbecile, the other a compendium of knowledge and fineness, should in reality be those foolish, circling, butterfly-shaped lights thkt hovered and danced continually? I must have" watched them in fascination for fully five minutes before | suddenly recalled the doctor's instructions. But my hands shook co that I could with difficulty lay them upon the lever. 1 caught it at last, reversed it, and sent It forward again to the notch EI. instantly the flames divided; there came a hiss and splutter, and the wire was once more aflame with the blue light. Then a convulsive trembling seised upon tbe limbs of the imbecile. He gacped. drew in a long breath, and sat up. His eyes fixed* themselves gravely on mine. But It was no longer a glance of bisnknets, as though there were no mind behind tbe vision. He saw me; when 1 moved the cyetfoj* • ( . study. 1 laid him upon a lounge and injected strychnine into the veins. There was no response. I placed my ear against his heart; it did not stir. Against his lips 1 laid a little mirror of silvered glass. It was not clouded. And suddenly I felt a thing pulling at my coat. It was the Imbecile child; It had crawled after me. Then I understood. This was the unusual syratorn of which Brodsky had spoken. Then I knew that I had exhausted all my resources. I rushed to the telephone and summoned medical aid. Hours afterward, at it appeared to me, though it was in reality only a matter of minutes, a doctor arrived. I tried to summer out some explanation, but he cu't'-rne short. "Heart disease," he pronounced. "I warned him only last week that he must he prepared. There will be no need of an autopsy." "But the soul—" 1 stammered— "Tbe soul in the glass globe—" The doctor looked at me gravely. "You must tie down and rest," be answered. "H must have been a great shock to you." So 1 knew that ray words would go for less than nothing. I was ill for weeks after that. Friends took charge of the funeral, friends whom Brodsky had aided, who appeared in countless numbers from unexpected quarters. The funeral partook almost of the character of a public demonstration. Even I had never known the extent of Brodsky's benefactions. Even the physicians of the town, who had regarded him more or less with suspicion, participated In the ceremonies. The newspapers were filled with long accounts of the'dead man's works; bis psychical researches were dismissed lightly. bi:t not contemptuously, as the vagaries of a great thinker, the relaxations of a scienelst. When the will was read I found that I had been left sole executor and chief legatee. The remainder of the doctor's fortune was to go to etfdow tbe home which he had established. .Then, one dsy, while looking through tbe doctor's pspfr*. 1 came upon a sealed letter addressed to me. I bad rorrjotten all about It In the itraln that 1 bad gone thro- ;,b. Hastily I broke tbe seal and read; "You must -pardon mer my friend," ran the letter, ")( ror the ond U*«e I have wilfully deceived fw*(^!

When the last flame went out the organism was dead beyond possibility of recall. "The child revived because the current was so graduated that it merely stunned, without destroying, that dull* er organism.

But now, to explain more fully what it was my Intent to do, and what I hope and think that I have done. "As I have told you, I knew that no power on earth could bring tbe soul into the child's body.

This sand was soft and yielding under foot, and made walking hard and tiresome. But on up the beach wo went, and came to the old sea wall that had been built there centuries ago t o keep back the waves when winds were at war with the waters. Soon the frowning walls of what once served as a Spanish prison came to view, and climbing high up over the rocky embankment we entered the old dungeon, and as we stood therein we thought of the broken hearts and. sighs and cries of agony that, had, in the far distant pasC ascended to heaven from • within this cruel cnelosure—how that hope had \ g p u e out of the human heart, and death bad come as sweet relief to the prisoner here in this dark and dismal place—and how that the gay -world had gone on outside, forgetful that he had jgver lived and suffered and passed away. Leaving this prison of-the old time, we went further on up the beach and came to the ruined oM castle,.standing there on the seashore like sowe great, »lle*t sentry, pointing backward and wbitpertaff to eo« of, the days that are buried in the depth* of the long ago. Here the governor of all the territory had resided—a Spanish nobleman in whose veins flowed the proudest bloed of old Castile. In this- very place he was surrounded by his numerous courtiers and' bands of soldiers with clanging arms and trumpet calls; and proud lords and lovely ladies met here in- nights gone by, and to the strains of sweetest music danced the hours away. But now%) all is as guiet and noiseless as the stillness of' death—only the soft breezes that pass gently through the foliage of the royal palms and the evergreen trees, and the faint murmur of the distant waves of the t e a dist u r b the deep and solemn silence. 1 The great stones that form the castle walls, towering many feet high, with their barren Windows and frowning portholes commanding a view of the blue and restless waters aB far as the eye can see, are the only tokens that man once resided here—for the ruler and his courtiers and TiU bands of soldiers—proud lords and lovely ladies of that tar-off time, have all, all gone, andnot one left to t'eil of their greatness and^grftnd- .«ur— their very names being blottcd^from the •memory of man. ^--''" Only a efcortr diateBW f r p n r l h e ruins of this •eilent old castle s t a n d > * n e wreck of the once beautiful cathedral^rooflesa and barren.

The bleak old walls throw their shadows across many of the last resting places of these natives who have laid llfVs burdens down and crossed over to the other side. It..was with a feeling of sadness and reluctance we left this place, so redolent of memories of a bygone time—but there were other things to see—so, with a sigh of regret, we passed out, and forever, from the portals of this once glorious cathedral and went forth Into the tropical jungle. Here are to be seen the remains of the foundations of the residences and business houses of the people who once inhabited Old Panama. The friendly vegetation seems to be endeavoring to cover oyer and blot from the memory of tha world these remaining evidences of the cruel and heartless deeds of the men of a distant age, who brought wreck and ruin to this erstwhile magnificent city. And how came it about that this city was destroyed? Long, long ago, Sir Henry Morgan, an Englishman—the most noted buccaneer of al,l time—gathered together all the' pirates that infested the Caribbean sea, to the number of 2,000 and sallied forth Jo. quesj of gain. First he attacked Old JProvlcVence, an island that juts abruptly out of the waters of the sea—and the place where many of the terrible West Indian hurricanes are born—and after much hard fighting conquered the people and took what they had. Thence he and his thieving band went to Porto Bello and robbed that city; and then, after they had squandered their ill-gotten gains in riotous living they went fbrth once more with the conquest of Old Panama in view. At the time it was a populous placn, and said to have been the richest, city in all the world—these riches having come from the gold Melds of Peru and bten stored there by the Spaniards. And so'it came to pass that Morgan and his hand of bold buccaneers fought a great battle with the Spaniards who inhabited Old Panama and the surrounding country, and won the victory— though at a fearful cost. Hundreds of his men were slain, while it is recorded that 6,000 Spaniards perished on the field. After this victory Morgan and his men took possession of the city, robbed the people of all they could find, and then set fire to the houses. It is said that the conflagration lasted an entire week. Not a house was left standing—only the blackened walls of the once splendid castle and the wreck of the old cathedral remain to tell the story of the frightful havoc that was wrought by these murderous pirates of that distant day. The old city was never rebuilt—the former inhabitants who escaped the sword of the invaders moved eight miles further down the coast and^iocated on the spot where the populous Pa- ^ a r a a City of today is standing. In the quiet hush of the late afternoon we left the place where •once stood tire rich and prosperous Old City, and as we returned to its successor, the New City of Panama, we lookeM back and could still see in the distance the grim old castle lifting its gray turrets skyward high above the surrounding country; and—well, it stands there toda£ as it has stood through the centuries gone, silently testifying to the barbarous and inhuman conduct of the boldest and most daring buccaneer of all the ages, Homely Face Her Fortune In There are lots of instances where beauty Is invariably beaten to the job when freckles may defy the massage parlor grade of complexion.

A Woman's Letter, Women, it is generally admitted, write better letters than men. M. Marcel Prevost has discovered the reason for this superiority. "The obvious meaning is never.. th£~one we should read into a woman's letter. There is always a veiled meaning. Woman makqg use of a letter just as she employs a glance or a smile, in a way that is carefully thought out, and with an eye-to effect. And, after all, does a woman's hat sprvf tn rnver J i e r . h e a d ? Does a woman's parasol keep off the sun? Why, then, 6hauld a woman's letter serve to convey her real thoughts to the person addressed, just like the letters of some honest grocer, whp writes, 'I send you five pounds of coffee," because he really does send you fiv« pounds of coffee." • % • ' •• - — • NO STOP.

To prevent fruit from being bruised when picked, a fruit picker with flexible holder has been invented, in which provision Is made for varying the capacity of the holder to obviate the necessity of dropping the fruit to any distance, says the Scientific Fruit Pteker With Expansible Holder. American. As shown in the illustration, the fruit picker comprises a pair of Jaws, shown open, in full lines, but which may he drawn to a closed position, shown in dotted lines, by operating a lever connected to one of the jaws by means of a wire. A bag mounted on the jaws passes through a s l o t u d yoke, which limits its capacity. By sliding a sleeve upward, the Jaws are raised, drawing the bag out of the yoke, and increasing its capacity. . . i Hid Strswbsrrttes, Experiments made at the Pennsylvania experiment station sbow that all hill strawberries are not larger and better formed than those grown in matted rows, provided t h e matted row. is a. narrow ene.

While as a rule this fruit has l?e$n grown-tor family con^ sumption, the surplus has found its way to market. The marked decline in the production of peaches within the past few years has brought about a considerable extension of the early apple industry on a commercial scale, which extension has been most marked In the middle Atlantic states, where especially advantageous transportation routes, both rail and water, and the aroximlty of large markets have stimulated the enterprise, which has itB center In the truck-producing region near Philadelphia. The United States department of agriculture, as a result of this extension, has made a sttfdy of the early apple industry, with the middle Atlantic states as ,a field, and published the information collected in a bulletin entitled "Summer Apples In the Middle Atlantic States," issued by the bureau of plant industry. This bulletin is a compendium of information covering all phases of the question of early apple production, including soils, climate, culture, picking, packing, marketing, etc. Numerous varieties are described, and seasons and other data conveniently presented In tabular form. N E W S O F MICHIGAN MAKING NOVEL BIRD HOUSES Common Garden Flower Pot May Be Used by Enlarging Opening at the Bottom. A novel use of the common garden flower pot may be made by enlarging Uie small opening at the bottom with a pair of pliers, and carefully breaking Pot Fastened to the Board. Iho clay away until the opening is large enough to admit a small bird. Place the pot bottom side up on a board that is throe inches wider than the diameter of the largest pot used and fasten it to the board with wood cleats and "Tira'SK screws. Fit the cleats to the sides of the pot as close as possible, writes William F. Stecker of Massachusetts in' the Popular Mechanics. One or more pots may be used, as shown in the Eketch. The board on which the pots are fastened is nailed or screwed to a post or pole 10 or 12 feet in height. The board is braced with, lath or similar strips of wood, making a framework suitable for a roost. In designing the roost, '.he lath can be arranged to make it quite attractive, or the braces^ may be twigs and branches of a tree to make a rustic effect. tffCMK^ CEZ&bb. _sfe ORTrCOiTURAL Dehorning makes old trees become as new. A strawberry plant is naturally an evergreen. Not everyone who farmB has a good family orchard. Intelligent pruning is also very necessary to raising fruit. The first warm days ctf spring give gardeners an inspiration for flowers. In general, the best results are obtained from spraying applications made In <cloudy Weather. Spraying Is at least half of fruitgrowing as well as a good part of .gardening and truck farming. Pruning the farm orchard Is a knotty problem to the beginner; in fact the older heads are bothered. Be sure to spray the trees from all sides and cover every portion from the ground to the ends of the branches. For currants make ground rich by liberal use of barnyard manure and commercial fertilizer, having plenty of potash. As to the spraying of t h e farm orchard, there is no question but what it will pay and the more thorough you are, the better the results. T h e oozing out of the sap from cherry and peach trees, forming drops or lumps of gum, arises from a diseased condition of the trees. JHirry up the grafting, if not done last month. A paste of cow manure and clay, bound on to a partiallygirdled tree, trunk, will often save'the tree. Pruning should be an annual affair. and the nest time to do It fs late It) tbj^wtaUr en.iust balers the budr oeeft. It she«&b4sTtn when t h l r t r c * , is first planted. •' , .

A number of deaths have resulted from this cause the past year. Mr. Neal says, "and many more are likely to occur. People do not seen to understand that kerosene when heated to a temperature of 121 degrees, produces just as deadly and powerful as gasoline. The only difference is that gasoline produces an explosive vapor at about 70 degrees of heat instead of 121. Thrown \in a hot stove whether containing fire or not, kerosene will almost immediately produce the exploehe vapor and when the lighted match comes in contact, the doings commence. Unless death is sought kerosene should under no circumstances be po a red into a stove from a can. The taking of strychnine or looking down the barrel of a gun is much safer." "If people must use kerosene for kindling or -hurrying up of fires a small quantity should be poured into a cup and tnrown from that into the stove. If a blaze is then needed to ignite it, use a long paper taper and keep at a safe distance when touching it oft The process will produce the desired results and even \tben there is apt to be enough excitement for the average individual." Killed I n s t a n t l y In attempting to drive across the P.

In all Europe the loss was but one-sixth as large. ThiB leak is a powerful indictment of American waste. ~ Deciding the most important case ever brought before it, the interstate commerce commission pronoun'ced against the railroads, eastern and western, in their attempt to boost freight rates. Here is the decision in a nutshell: There is no evidence before us which establishes the necessity for higher rates. Before any general advance can be permitted it must appear with reasonable certainty that carriers have exercised proper economy in the purchase of their supplies, in the payment of their wages and in the general conduct of their business. There is no testimony tending to show the cost of reproducing these properties. It is plain that a physical valuation would introduce in the calculation a new element which might lead to a different conclusion. The conclusion reached hejre extends, therefore, - no further than the facts u^Km which it is based. Proposed advances in class freight rates in official classification territory, aggregating among all the railroads in the territory approximately $2.7,- 000,000 a year, were disapproved \y the commission. In the case involving the increases by the railroads in western trunk line territory the commission al^o declined to approve the proposed advances in commodity rates. The carriers in both cases are required to cancel on or before March 10 their advanced tariffs, and restore their former rates, which are the rates now in effect. II this requirement is not complied with, the commission will issue a formal order suspending the proposed advances and putting into effect the existing rates for at least two years v The decisions weje in the nature of a surprise to railroad officials and other experts who had followed closely the proceedings, a majority of whom believed the commission would grant some iiiCrease to the western lines if not to the eastern. The commission concedes- that in the case of some of the roads an increased revenue is needed. In the eastern case the commission was embarrassed by the fact that several of the lines in tho territory were paying good dividends upon existing rates, while other carriers in the same territory were -barely able to make both ends meet—a few of them scarcely that. It does not matter BO much whether they are Bending us pure champagne or imitations from France, as most pt?sons in this country who buy the fh*y stuff judge it solely by the price ai.yway.

The issue is whether the help around the legislature whose pay is on a per diem basis can receive pay for seven days In the week. Attorney General Kuhn has held that they can't. An examination of the record.reveals the fact that for years previous to 1909 the court crier of the supreme court, who was entitled to receive "$2 per diem," was paid for 365 days in the year, one chief Justice after another certifying to the correctness of the voucher. In 1909 the law was changed eo that the crier was put on a yearly salary, but the fact remains that for years an employe of the court was paid for seven days In the week. Hillsdale Asks Bonds.

Replying to a request whether members of the organized malitia are exempt from U. S.

Congressional legislation would be necessary to secure a Droader exemption from jury service of members of the militia. The disappearance of the large copper cent and the nickel cent from circulation has brought about a curi. ous condition In the U.

RECIPROCITY MATTERSmiLm RUMOA T H A T ACDftlCH WILL PERSONALLY APPEAR TO CHAMPION AGREEMENT IS DOUBTED. Leaders 8ee No Hope of Bringing the McCall Bill to a Vote a t This Session. So probable is it that an extra session of congress will be necessary to get action on the Canadian reciprocity argument that President Tart has fixed April 4 as the date on which such a session may be called. The April date was selected after consultation with Champ Clark and Representative Underwood, whose committee will have charge of and report me reciprocity bill In the next bouse. The leaders see no hope of bringing to a vote at this session the Mc- Call bill to carry the Canadian agreement Into effect. Many rumors were circulated of moves to remedy the situation, but apparently they were all without foundation. The most persistent of all was one that Senar tor Aidrich was speeding to Washington/^ at the urgent solicitation of President Taft to take charge of the situation in the Senate. The rumor, apparently, was a distortion of a telegram which the senator sent from Jekyl island. Georgia, where he has been for several weeks in search of hralth, saying that if he were- in Washington he would vote for the Canadian agreement. The telegram was to one of the Senate leaders asking that a pair be arranged for him infavof of the McCall bill if it comes tn a vote this session. The fact that s'tch a telegram was received was whispered about, the Senate and created some surprise, as manv st:tnd pjU_senators had believed that Mr. Aidrich. like Senator Hale of Maine would oppose the reciprocity arrangement. .

The arrival of Mr. Aidrich and_any attempt b:T him to force the consideration of the bill upon the Senate would bev like shaking a red rag in the face of a bull. It would serve, according to the consensus of opinion in the Senate, only to intensify the insurgents' fight against the measure. Not only that, but-lils friendship for the bill unquestionably would alienate some of his best friends, HUe Senator McCumber.- Hale, Smoot. and others who aided him in framing the Payne-Aid richtariff law, but who are opposed to the Canadian agreement.

After nearly five hourB of debate th« house of representatives voted overwhelmingly in favor of the policy of fortifying 'trre Panama canal and appropriated .$3,000,000 to beclhr-Uhe work, the total cost of which has been estimated at $12,000,000. The action oi the house practically settles the question of fortification for the sentiment in the Senate is said to be more than two to one in favor of protecting the isthmian Waterway by seacoast batteries. The real test in the House came on an amendment proposed j>y Representative Tawney of Minnesota, chairman of the committee ~cnr appropriations. Mr. Tawney has been opposed to fortifying the canal from the first and made a speech against that policy near the close of debate. H« then offered an amendment which provided that no part of the money set aside for fortification should be used until the president of the United States had attempted to negotiate treaties with all of the leading maritime nations guaranteeing the neutrality and international protection of the canal. Representative Sherley of Kentucky bitterly attacked this amendment and warned members that it had been introduced for CTe sole purpose pf defeating the appropriation. The Tawney amendment then was voted down^bv 130 to G3. A motion, by Representative' Keifer of Ohio to strike out aM provision for the fortification of the canal was lost by a vote of 135 to 51. When it came to. voting,, the. Republicans generally supported the fortification of the canal and the Democrats opposed it. The defection of about 20 Republicans irom the vomeral policy of fortification was offset by a similar defection on the Democratic side in favor of fortification. OWOBSO.—J. J.

Houses there were in the immediate proximity •which were more showy and had cost more money, but none as completely satisfying from the art lover's standpoint. It was the home of a man who studied and loved the beautiful for its own sake and not because he wanted t e astonish people with what miracres Ttfs money could work. Occupying a large plot on slightly elevated ground, the house commanded a fine view of lite broad Hudson. Directly opposite, Across the river, busy with steam and smiling craft, smiled the green slopes of New Jersey; in the purplish north frowned the jagged clirte of the precipitous Palisades. The elder Jeffries, aristocratic descendant of an old Knickerbocker family, was proud of his home and had spent large sums of money in beautifying it. Built in colonial style of pure white marble with long French windows and lofty columns supporting a flat, rounded roof, surrounded by broad lawns, wide-spread' Ing shade .trees and -splashing foun-i tains, it \va§ a conspicuous landmark for mflcg.—The lulmlur guessed how unhappy she was. She knew that by her own indiscretion, she was in danger of losing all she had won, her position in society, her place in the affections of her husband, everything. When she married Mr. Jeffries it was with deliberate calculation. She did not love him, but, being ambitious, she did not hesitate to deceive him. J He was rich, he could give her that prominent position in society for which she yearned. The fact that she was already engaged to a man for whom she did care did not deter her for a moment from her set purpose. She had met Robert Underwood years before. He was then a college boy, tall, handsome, clever. She fell in love with him and they became engaged. As she grew more sophisticated she saw the folly of their youthful infatuation. Underwood was without fortune, his future uncertain. While in this uncertain state of mind she met -Mr. Jeffries, then a widower, at a reception. The banker was attracted to her and being a business man he did things quickly. He proposed and was accepted, all in the brief time of—five minutes. Robert Underwood and the romance of her girlhood were sacrificed without question when it came to reaching a prompt decision. She wrote Underwood a brief letter olfarewell, telling him that the action sne had taken was really for the best Interests of them both. Underwood made no reply and for months did not attempt; to go near her. Then he met her in public. There was a reconciliation. He exerted the old spell—on the married woman. Cold and indifferent to her husband, Alicia found it abusing to have her old lover paying her court and the danger of discovery &nly pocketed the money, forgetting to account to the owners for the au'mB they brought. The dealers demanded restitution or a: settlement andtTtrterwood, jdreadjng "fcipostfre, 'fthdrjia :>*u>tl«r .around^-to] raise enough • mene^ j. ttf jmake up the deficiency ^jord^jn tp j avoid prosecution.

Altera- lent the money more because she feared ridicule than from any real desire to oblige Underwood. She had long since become disgusted with him. The man's real character was now plainly revealed to her. He was an adventurer, little better than a com-, mon crook. She . congratulated herself on her narrpw escape-,. Suppose she had married him—the horror of it! Yet the next inBtant she was filled with consternation. She had allowed him to become so intimate that it was difficult to break off with him all at once. She realized that with a man of that character the inevitable must come. There would be a disgraceful scandal. She would be mixed up in it, her husband's eyes would be opened to her folly, it might ruin her entire life. She must end it now—oncq for all. She had already given him to understand that their intimacy must cease. Now ho must stop his vjatop to her house and desist from trapping her^ friends into his many schemes. She Had written him that morning forbiddlrg hint to come to the houa« cms evening. She was done with him forever. These thoughts were responsible* for the frown on the beautiful Mrs. Jeffries' bejeweled brow that particular Saturday evening. Alicia gave a sigh and was drawing on her long kid gloves before the glass, when suddenly a maid entered -and tendered her mistress a note. Alicia knew tb* handwriting only too well. She tore the letter open and read: ••A Dear Mrs. Jeffries: I received your letter telling me that my presence at your house to-night would be distasteful to you. As you can imagine, it was a great shock. Don't you understand tho liann this will do me? Everybody will notice my absence. They will jump to the conclusion that there has been a rupture, and my credit will suffer immediately with your friends. I cannot afford to let this happen now. My affairs are in such condition that it wUl be fatal to me. I need your support and friendship more than ever. I hav,e,noticed for some time Was lull ot architectural beauty. The stately entrance hall, hung with ancestral portraits, was of noble proportions, and a superb staircase, decorated with statuary, led off to tastefully decorated reception rooms above. To-night the house was brilliantly illumina-tod and there was considerable activity at the front entrance, where—a-footman in Bmart livery stood opening the doors of the carriages as they drove up in quick succession. Mrs. Jeffries' muslcates were always largely attended because she knew the secret of making them interesting. Her husband's wealth and her fine house enabled her to entertain on a liberal scale, and she was a tactful sjjpd diplomatic hostess as we£. She J*t~t oniy;iultiv*t«d'rhe right kind o j t - - ^ ople who were congenial to each her, but she always managed to a-^v .Jave some-guest of special distinction §&Mjyrhom every one was eager to meet. P o l l e r own wide.—acquaintance among fhe prominent operatic artists and her husband'* influential position in the world of finance made this policy an easy way of furthering her social ami bitions. She would always invite some one whom she could present as tb« Hon of the evening. One week it would * e a tenor from the opera house, another time a famous violinist. In this way she managed to create a little artistic salon on the lines of the famous political salons in which the t brilliant women of the eighteenth cen« ' ttiry molded public opinion In France. Alicia knew she was clever and as She stood admiring herself in front of a full length mirror while awaiting * the arrival of her guests «he congratulated herself that she had made as success of her life. She had won those things which most women hold dear —wealth and social position. She had married a man she did not love, it was true, but other women had done tthat before her. If she had not ought her husband love she at least not a wife he need be ashamed In her Paquin gown of gold cloth, sweeping train and a jeweled fa In her hair, she considered her* handsome enough to grace" any 's home. It was indeed a beaut? IrTflclTshe-ssrfMn the mirror—the face it.: Under her patronage he was in of a woman not yet 30, with the features regular and refined. The eyes were large and dark and the mouth atfd hose delicately molded. The face e expression, She had a cold, collating look, "and a cynic might have arged her with being heartless, of pping at nothing to gain her own 148. To-night Alicia had every reason to I Jubilant She had secured a so* lion that all New York would talk afco»jt—no less" -a person than Dr. Ifernstein, the celebrated psycholofWt, the originate* of the theory of •otentMc '"" • psychology.

She did not lead Underwood to believe that he could induce her to forget her duty to Mr. Jeffries, but she was foolish enough to encourage a dangerous intimacy. , She thought she was strong enough to be able to call a halt whenever she would be so disposed, but as is often the caae she overestimated her powers. The! intimacy grew. Underwood became bolder, claiming and obtaining special privilege* He soon realized that he had the upper hand and he traded on vited everywhere. He practically lived on her friends. He borrowed their money and cheated them at cards. His real character was soon known to seemed academically perfect, all but_ all, but no one dared expose him for cence of their furnishings and the art treasures they contained.

Jeffries' friends, paid exosntta&i price* for Uadenrood fear of offending the influential Mrs Jeffries. Realizing this, Underwood continued his" depredations until he became a sort of social highwayman. He had no legitimate source of income, but he took a suite of apartments at'the expensive Astruria and on eredit furnished them so gorgeously that they became the talk of the town. The magazines' and newspapers devoted columns/to the magnifl-lher house to be made the headquarthat your manner to me has changed. Perhaps you have believed aome of the utories my enemies have circulated about me. For the eako of our old friendship, Alicia, don't desert me now. Remember what I once was to you and let me come to your reception to-night. There's a reason why I must be seen»ln your'house. Yours devotedly, ROBERT UNDERWOOD. Alicia's face flushed with anger. Turning to the maid, she said: "There's no answer." The girt was about to close the door when her mistress suddenly recalled her. •-'Wait a minute," she said- "I'll write a line." Taking from her dainty escritoire a sheet of perfumed notepaper, she wrote hurriedly as follows: "If you dare to corpe near my house to-night T will have you Sut out by the servants." Quickly, folding the note, she crushed it into an envelope, scaled it, handed It to the girl, and said: "Give that to the messenger." The Bervaht disappeared and Alicia resumed her work of drawing on her gloves in front of her mirror. How dare he write her such a letter? Was terfl for bis swindling schemes? Did he want to chest more of her friends? The more she thought of all be had done, the angrier she became. Her eyes flashed and her bosom heaved with indignation. She wondered would any if be suspected that she bad permitted a ^san of Underwood's character to use bis home for bis diehonset ntyttooov Bbe *ae glad isfe* . ' • ' - • • • • • • ; — ^ N»: had endefl it now, before It was too late. There might have been a scandal* and .that, she. must avoid at any cost. Mr. Jeffries, she felt certain, would not. tojerate a- scandal of any kind. All at once she felt something brush her cheek. She turned quickly. It was her husband who hud entered the room quietly. "Oh, Howard," she exclaimed, peevishly; "how you frightened me! You shouldn't startle me. like that." A tafl, distinguished-looking man with white mustache and pointed beard stood admiring her in silence. His erect figure, admirably set off in a welt-cut dreBS coat suggested the soldier. "What are you doing alone here, dear?"* he said. "I hear Mrriagea outside. Our guests are arriving." "Just thinking, that's all," she replied, evasively. He noticed her preoccupied look and. with some concern, he demanded: "There's nothing to worry you, is there?" "Oh, no—nothing like that," she said, hastily. H<? looked at her closely and she averted her eyes. Mr. Jeffries often wondered If V had made a mistake He felt that this woman to whom he had given his name did not love him, but his vanity ad much as ki.s pride prevented him lrop: acknowledging it, oven to himseit. After all, what did he care? She was a companion, she graced his home and looked after his creature comforts. Perhaps no reasonable man should expect anything more. Carelessly, he aslted: "Whom do you expect to-night?" "Oh, the usual crowd,'.' - replied Alicia, languidly. "Dr. Bernsteio is coming—you know he's quite the rage just now. He has to do with psychology and all that sort of thing." "So, he's your lion to-night, is he?" smiled the banker. Then he went on: "By the by, I met Brewster at the club to-night. He promised to drop in." Now it was Alicia's turn to Bmlle. It was not everybody who could boast of having such a distinguished lawyer as Judge Brewster on their calling lists. To-night would certainly be a success—two lions instead of one. For the moment she forgot her worry. "I am delighted that the judge is' coming," she exclaimed, her, face / beaming. "Every one is talking abotftf o f Fleming has him since his brilliant speech for-the defense in that murder case." The banker noted his wife's beautiful hair and the white transparency of her skin. His gaze lingered on the graceful lines of her neck and bosom, glittering with r»rPMr,11B p~y^nQfi exquisite-JTrgmia exuding from her person reached where^be stood. His eyes grew more ardent and, passing his arm affectionately around her slender waist, he asked: ^ "Mow does my little girl like her tiara?" "It's very nice. Don't you see I'm wearing it to-night?"-' she replied almost impatiently and drawing herself away. Before Mr. Jeffries had time to re~ ply there was a commotion at the other end- of the reception room, where rie'h tapestries,screened off the main entrance hall. ' Tho butler drew the curtains aside. "Mr. and Mrs. Cortwright," he announced loudly. Alicia went forward, followed by her husband, to greet her guests.

Do the people who Jeer at the cautious ones who refuse to lick a postage stamp as "cranks" know that there is a defined disease known as "the postage stamp tongue?" This is an acute inflammation of the tongue, directly traced to the germs to be found on the gummed side of stamp or envelope. Other and more serious diseases have been caused by this habit that is so universal and seems so harmless. Ope throat specialist In a hospital declares that many chronic affections of the throat are found among persons who have as their livelihood the ad* dressing and stamping of envelopes. Bad skin idiseases have ben known to follow this habit, and it has even caused'pulmonary troubles. It is after all but a habit, and a bad one.

"Quite difficult," came the echo. The visitor was Interested, and would not be put off with short replies. "Eh—how do you manage to plant on this hill?" he persisted.

A special meeting of the directors was held, and in ten minutes the loss, if loss it could be called, was made good, and bus! new went on as usual. Just at that time, I guess, no one wanted •any publicity, for a mere rumor of trouble might have resulted in more damage than could he repaired in a month -of Sundays. There's nothing easier to start than a financial panic, under certain conditions, and once it. gets started It usually runs its course like a big fire—until it burns itself out. Naturally the directors were not taking 'any cbancee, so they just kept the matter quiet among themselves and called In Bulllvants Limited. That's how 1 came to be on the-ease within thirty-six hours. "Well, suh.lt was the cleanest and cleverest get-away 1 eyar saw, whether planned beforehand^ 6> not. After looking at the thing from the outside " "" •was a case of "Not" —but then you can never tell. AB I said, I'd known John Rlsdale for a long time, and 1 knew that he wasn't in the common embezaler, class.

Naturally I wanted to recover the loot, a s well as to nsb the criminal; "but equally, for my own sailafac : tibn and the reputation of Bullivaata as for tbe sake «f that Httle woman in New York, I wished to solve the mystery—for that there was a mystery, something which took the case of John Rlsdale eut of the ordinary embezzler class, 1 felt sure. "9o for a few days I lay low an<i shadowed Mr. Oliv-jr Hasaard. As is New York he was a pattern of method and regularity—never left his lodgings at night, was always on time to the tick In the morning, and apparently enjoyed the trust and esteem of his new employers. "1 found he had been in Kingston for over a year; (hat he bad applied for his present job without credentials, and had been taken on sufferance and with some slight suspicion. But apparently all this bad vanished, and Bullock & Bullock now trusted him implicitly. The more I learned about 'Haszard' and the more 1 studied him, now near at hand, then from a safer distance, the mote my pet private theory, was strengthened. For some days I debated how I should nut It to the test, finally deciding upon a sudden surprise. "My man lodged with a widow who •vw* ^ , . . . . • . . ^ snsa An Z glanced .him over, and sensed that ha must he at least sixty, though Ha looked not a> day. over forty-five, I realised perhaps more than ever that Mark Mauley was about as far removed from the traditional detective of Action as a divinity student from 4'double life, but after looking up his home surroundings I couldn't see it that way.

Nof it never got Into the papers, aifif seeing that the chief actor died last—in his own bed, mind you, I .guess no one 11 be hurt if I give you the story." I nodded my comprehension at this Introduction, but forehore to, disturb Mauley's current of reminscent talk, for this was one of those occasions Whejn silence was golden. So he went .en: "The Borough National was one of oar smaller banks, but possessing very strong connections; there was a surplus of something like twelve million ^ollfirs", and a board of directors emtracing half the solid names on the street. The paying teller was named John Rlsdale, whom I'd known for years, one of the whitest men that >God ever made. « "Well, suh, 'twas just ten years ago this fall, there'd been nasty panicky times alt summer; no real trouble, a s you'll remember, but a good deal of tuneastness. Rlsdale had stuck to his through the hot spell, refusing take a vacation, which was reek up against him afterwand, with any reason, far as I could see; sent his family away,*—wife and daughter—and had been "batchby himself in their flat on the Wajt aide.

Rlsdale and his wife aimed sand or take the kiddie abroad, hut meant money,—more than John beeft^sbJ* to lay tfy out of his dollars a week. ""One day, along about this time of jrasr, Rlpdals west out to lunch at Jg o'clock and never came hack. The frank might have got over that,—one relatives addressed to his flat. The '-j-ordin ary th reads that -go-to make tip the criminal skein were not to be picked up in this particular instance, and I must confess that for the time being I had to acknowledge myself at fault. There remained the possibility that Risdale had become a frequenter "Sf^broker's offices er bucket shops, buf this theory proved to be as useless as the rest. And yet the man had vanished and a hundred thousand^ dollars besides! As usual, the agency said "take your time and Bpare no expense," so I went at the thing quietly and deliberately. Mrs. Risdale gave me all the help she could—which was mighty little, for the poor woman was mighty near distracted. Luckily they had a few hundreds in the savings bank, so there was no danger" of she she and little Ix>ls coming to immediate want. Of course, you couldn't get Mrs. Risdale to admit for an instant that there was anything crooked about her John. I didn't blame her either, for I felt that way myself, knowing the man as 1 did. But you see the best of men do go wrong occasionally— and then there was that hundred thousand dollars! "Well, suh, I settled down to a long still hunt. For six months I was on the road running false clues to earth, for the absconder—or some one resembling him—was reported by my correspondents all over the states. Naturally I'd sent his photograph broadcast, yet strictly on the q, t., you understand/ I'd also had the European steamships watched on the other side, but nothing came of it. Mrs. Risdale put on black and mourned . her husband as dead, but that, somehow, I didn't believe. Naturally I'd formed a theory of my own, which wasn't so far wrong as the sequel proved; the only trouble was I couldn't account for that hundred thousand. And I guess I wouldn't yet If I hadn't found John Risdale. "One day I got a wire from our correspondent in Kingston, Jamaica, saytog: " Tour man here working for whole* tale fruit company, assumed name bring necessary v papers.' "Yoall reckon I took the next boat and landed In Kingston within a week. Saw my correspondent, who posted me- up. Rlsdale—or someone . mho • looked like him—was doing bookkeeping for a fruit-exporting firm, and living quite openly, but under the name of Oliver Haasard. This was a joke. if he was really the man I was after, because that was the rBtj name of the president of the Borough National!

"Not yet, old man/' I assured him soothingly with my hand on his ana. "Sit down here and take a sup of this," pouring him out a stiff drink #f brandy from my pocket-flask. He gulped it down half chokingly, wiping his eyes. Then, more quietly and sanely than I had expected he says: - "Will you kindly tell me where I am and who I am?" '-- "Sure thing," 1 answered half laughing and handing him a cigar. "You're Joan Rlsdale, my old friend, and this is Kingston, Jamaica. How or why* you chose to come here—well, we'll talk that over." "The sooner the better." says he. "Why—wby—whera's ray wife and poor HJtle Lois?" "All well, and waiting for daddy to come home," 1 assured him. "We'll have you out of this in a jiffy. There's a Tuesday boat, you know, and you're going back to New York with me." "New York!" he exclaimed, again pressing his fingers on his eyeballs. 'Yes,—I remember now*-it was that damned bank, and—and—" "Yes. yes, that's all rlgbt, John." I soothed him. "You've—er—been ill. you know." "111!" he flashed on me. "Say, Murk, what day is this?" I gave him the date and the year. "My God!" he groaned under hl« breath. "Why " I saw what was coming and was about to temporize when RiBdale broke In: "Look here, Mark Manley: You used to pose as a friend of mine, if you're that now, in heaven's name tell ine what all this means. You say I've been ill—perhaps. But there's more sekmsly knew no more than V did where that hundred thousand dollars bad vanished to. The kindest thing, I felt, would be to get him home to his wife and little Lois; indeed, wild horses wouldn't have kept him sway once we landed. So I saw bim safely In their arms, enjoining bim not to stir out until he saw me again, and then came.down here to think, and piece things out is some sort of logical order. "My ail-along theory was coming true; John Risdale bad simply gone out ot his head with business worry and fretting over little IM\K. Want of money no doubt entered into his troubles, auid in this frame he bad absent- mindedly picked up the package of money sud walked out of tbe bank, dropping his real identity the instant he got outside "This was all pure theory, you understand, yet it waN afterward borne out by actual happenings. But that didn't bring me any nearer that bun dred thousand dollars; Risdale's mind was a complete blank and no faking. So after spending half the night In the quiet of this very office 1 evolved a plan and a test which I believed would at once prove tbe paying-teller of the Borough National to be un honest man and lead to the recovery, of the missing, money. But first I had to Interview the bank officers and gain their consent to try my scheme. My idea, you Bee, was to reproduce for Risdale tbe actual conditions and surroundings of tbe day when be disappeared with tbe money and then see whether his subconscious mental processes would lead him along the same lines. "Well, suh, next morning 1 saw President IlHzzard, told him the facts, and outlined my plan. He gave his conone knew that he'd ever had a deposit box, but in a flash I cseased what wdus coming, and saw I'd probably make, good. My badge took me tb rough the great steel gates, and I was almost peeking over bis shoulder when he drew out box. He was about to slide In the new envelope when something within drew his attention. H e - p u t in bis hand, drawing but an envelope tbe exact duplicate of the other. <*<croae i t wss written in red ink; 'Per tola in esse of the worst,'" r r "He atood thete iookdng daaedly at both envelopes, then with 'a « ^ « n groan spun on his feet and lett to the floor like a log. 1 picked up both envelopes and glanced hastily at tfieir contents. Each- Ute old and the'new —contained a hundred thousand dollars—- a hundred < rlsp new thouaanddollar bills! My theory bad eante true, and John Risdale was proved aw honest map. In his former lit of aberration his sub-conscious mind dwelling^ pn little Lois and bis inability to afford her the treatment she needed, he bod simply sequestered the money in complete Ignorance of what be was doing, then placed It in tbe safety-deposit box. My part consisted simply hi restoring as far as possible tbe original mental and physical conditions, trust. log that he would repeat himself and lead us to the original place of hiding —which he did. Afterward 1 made out that he had wandered down to a North River pier, where he mast have crawled aboard a liner. The purser of tbe Mohawk remembered assigning a stateroom to . a passenger who came aboard a few ssinutes before sailing time. "And what did the hank do?" I could not forbear asking.. "Well, suh," was the answer, "of course there could be no prosecution under the circumstances. John Rfsdale was Innocent as the babe unborn and the bank hadn't lost a dollar. S o they gave him a bonus for his twenty years of service and retired him on a pension. That bonus, by the way, made Lois Bfsdale a well woman, and now she's married with a little son of her own." • _ _ . i About the Wedding Ring. t The wedding ring, which was tolerated by the Methodists, was anathema to the early Puritans, who regarded personal adornment as one ot the many snares of Satan. Wesley, who was a high churchman, probably ^ni^<?d Its symbolical—value.—fir- Ihe_ oid_ English matTluge «ervi<«e- tt was the custom for the bridegroom to put the ilnfi on the thumb of his bride, saying: "In tht) name of tho Father," then on thr first finger, saying, "and the Hon," then on the second finKer,-saying, -"and of the Holy CI host," finally on the third finger, with the word "Allien." The ring was left there becaupe, as the Sanuu rubric says; "A vein proceeds thence to .he heart." In the Uiodern murrtngo service the ring in placed at once upon the third finder, the Invocation to the Tiitiliy being understood. i T To Set a Dislocated Jaw. eyVrtpfy. *HBi pajy^s only forty sh|l Hags a week, and^hat don't go vary far In Kingston, let me tall yon.'

The garden ran down to the beach, and here the defaulter was fond of lounging asd smoking <a pipe after breakfast on Sunday mornings., Here, then, quite privately, I decided to make my attack. Approaching the cottage on foot—it nestled in a riot of tropical flowers and foliage—I made my way, without knocking m ringing, by a side path to a HlUe ehe*per-eoVyred rustic retreat, from wbleh clouds of escaping blue smoke totd me that my man was at home. Stepping quickly to the open front which looted out on Kingsion harbor, J found him upright to the doorway, looking moodily our over the water. Ma turned and his eyes met mine, but there wan no sign of recognition. Without giving him a chance to speak, r said distinctly, yet not loudly: "John Risdale, how are you?" You've seen men stiffen under an electric shock? That's exactly what he did, gripping the uprights of tbe doorway, and looking at me like a startled rabbit - "My O o d r he exclaimed, pressing his hands over his eyes and fatting bia pipe drop on the ground.

So I told bim everything, even Including tbe foul suspicion that clouded his name. "A defaulter—me!" he exclaimed with a shudder. "Why, as" Qoo"s~my witness, Mark, and by I he sacred names of my wife and child, I'm innocent— innocent as you yourself! I never touched a rod rent of the bank's money!" "1 know you didn't," I replied, for In that moment 1 fett that John Rlsdale was an honest man, "but there was a hundred thousand dollars missing from your own cash drawer the very day you disappeared, and you're the only man who can clear away the mystery. So keep your head and think." "Think!" be shouted. "How can aa honest man think with such a suspicion as that smirching bis /air fame? 1 tail ye% Mark — " • " "No need tp tell me, John," I answered quietly, "I knew all along there was some mistake, and that's partly why I traced you here.

This Is what happened after 1 had carefully coached Rlsdale as to the part he was to play: Precisely at a quarter of ten he presented himself at the bank as usual, went to his old csge and began to arrange the pile of currency. At the stroke of ten he oponed the brass grill and began to pay out funds as checks were presented.

When ibo chimes of Old Trinity across,the way boomed out tbe four quarters and then the hour, John Rlsdale—I was watching him from the gallery above bis bead—picked up a long manilla envelope, selected from tbe cash drawer a pinned and banded packet of bills, slid them under the cover, put the envelope'in the breastpocket of his stireet-coat hanging in the cage, removod his working jacket, put on the former garment, nodded to his relief, and strolled nonchalantly m a of the bank up Broadway.

Many improvements have been K:ingested, but they have not impressed tbe Esperanto students favorably, and, according to Dr. Foerster, tended* simply to confuse people and "to injura the-foundation which has, been firmly laid."

Time was, and not so atony years ago, either, When t here were comparatively f e w •children fef an age that entitled them , t o be classed as young people in the ^households of Uncle Sam's best-paid cervants. If there were junior members, of such households, they were for the most part grandchildren or ^cousins or nephews and nieces. The result' of this state of affairs was that •tie juveniles, neither collectively nor individually, were much of a factor In' the social activities of officialdom, » n d very few of the entertainments ifn tSfs sphere were planned especially for the benefit of the younger (contingent of the community. «, But, as has been said, the past half bcore of years has seen gradual change of conditions that has made {the Juveniles and the unmarried !^oucg men and young women an element to be reckoned with. The explanation of the new state of affairs as to be found, of course, in the capture by younger men of a large proportion of the most exalted positions in the executive, legislative and Judicial branches of the government. JNo longer need a public man be a ^grandfather ere he is deemed to have arrived at the years of discretion neciessary to warrant the nation in entrusting its most momentous affairs t o him. Something of this same leaning in favor of younger men hag •even been manifested on the part of many of the leading foreign governments that send envoys to act as accredited resident representatives at -Washing unr The natural sequel of this Invasion of young blood in our governing^e+rcles is that the elders have been indulging in forms of entertainment less staid and solorun than those of some years back—why, President Taft himself delights to trip the light fantastic toe—and the juniors of offlno youtfg children of his own, but he has had with him in his Washington home much of the time the two sweet-mannered daughters of a married daughter, and slnjce the veteran legislator makes his home in summer with this daughter at Dan* ville, 111., he has enjoyed the companionship of these girls as continuously as he cquld expect to enjoy the society of young children of his own. Gen Leonard Wood, the new head of the United States army, furaiaff-. cs another example of a man attain! n g^n_ex^Ite^LEasL.aLJllL_ujiusu: cialdom have had all sorts of parties planned with especial reference to their well-known propensities. The White House furnishes an apt criterion as to the revolution in sentiment that has taken place. Prior to the Roosevelt administration there had been in many years only a few periods when there were present in the executive mansion children of age to influence the* social program. Indeed the children of the Grant and Hayes families were about the only youngsterB to liven up the old mansion since the days, of the CJhrU war. With the arrival, of Theodore Roosevelt, accompanied by his half a dozen strenuous children, however, tine-honored traditions had a shakeup !p favor of the fads of young hearts and young heads, and this policy has been pursued during the Taft regime, although the present chief magistrate has a breod only half as numerous as that of his predecessor. A noticeable exemplification of the revision that has taken place in tBe^soeial calendar is found in the prominent placw that young people's dances have occupied of l i t e years on the winter entertainment prograss at the. White House. And in summer the toariat may see Juvenile baseball games in. progffessfla the president's back yard, to say nothing •of the comings and goings of youthful riders on bonis or bicycle; roller skating on the asphalt abort the mansion; and mild "joy riding" in a jDAtfr electric phaeton. WJhst has been true of the White House has t>eenT truo la an equal degree of the cabinet nomas. It is safe to say that the homes of the members of the_president's official family have during the sast ten years s&eltered more young people ha their teens (or Just out of them) than in sifty other similar interval In the entire history of t i e country. And, today there is a liberal representation of this junior element in the cabinet fiommnnity. Secretary of State Knox may be said to have but .'recently graduated from the class of "dependant fathers" when his youngest soft etofaJd with a pretty Rhode Island girl, alyouthful- looking premier has jbeen • •» tor ftjWifal years past. Secretary departsjsnt of commerce' and tabor ihUttrtttflincKrting a* very attractive *Jk«prti*rrt>f the'Kavy Meyer has always dress exactly alike, ^ i w N ^ T h e r s are also young households of the members of the- "little cabinet," as the assistant secretaries of the departments, the assistant postmaster general, etc., are dubbed, there are a number of young folks. Secretary to the President, Norton, who might be placed in this category, if, indeed, he is not, entitled to ally early age. He and Mrs. Wood have three children. The sons, Iveonard, Jr„ and Osborn, are of about the age to enter college-, but the dainty daughter of the family, named for her mother, Louise Con- <lit-Sniith Wood, ia but ten years of Some of the children of public men in whom the people -of--the nation take the greatest interest are the little sons of daughters of former national officials now deceased. Prominent In this category is Miss Klizahftlh Harrison, only child of the late ex-Prfisident by his second marriage and the youngest living daughter of an American president. Other fatherless young folks for whom, the people at large fuel a strong regard are the children of the late Grovor Cleveland and the children of the late United States Senator Dolliver of Iowa, perhaps the ablest of all the leaders of the "Progressives" \\\ congress. In our "official foreign colony," made Tip of the families of the men of different nationalities who aro sent by their respective governments to act as diplomatic representatives in the United States, there are many children. Moreover, inasmuch as the foreign envoys have in many instances married American wives, it naturally follows that tljp children of such unions are half American. This is true of the children of the minister of Belgium and Countess de Buisseret and Countess Luise-Alexandra von Bernstorff, only daughter of the German ambassador and his Yankee consort. And, by the way, it is of interest in this connection that the young countess is to be marrietTthls coming spring to one of her fatherls-^iecretarles, the Count Pourtales, who a l s c l i a s an American mother. Baron Hengetmuller, the ambassador of Austria* Hungaryr'and rank as the equal of the cabinet members them- ~^.. present dean of the diplomatic corps selves, his children of the interesting age, and J.a4tnough, if he confirms current gossip, he may so have Assistant Postmaster General. Stewajft-^resign ere this-reaches the eyes of our readers), and other of the proxies of the cabinet members! has a very pretty little daughter in her early teens Children have even invaded the conservative supreme court circles in formidable numbers. Time was when the thought of young people in the homes of the aged and dignified members of the nation's highest tribunal seemed almost incongruous, but as in other spheres of governmental activity this is an age of younger men on the supreme court bench, and this has created a supreme court community .with a number of junior members. Mr. Justice Hughes, who came so near to winning the coveted appointment of chief justice, has perhaps the most interesting family, consisting of three daughters and one son,' but Mr. Justice Day has several sons who yet rank as young men* though they have left the paternal roof, and there are grandchildren in several of the supreme court households who have all the privileges claimed by closer kin.- Probably the most interesting family in that section of officialdom made up of the households of the members of the United States Benate is that of Senator La Follette, the insurgent leader. Thero are two manly sons and two very beautiful daughters, the eldest of whom has already demonstrated her inheritance of her father's marked histrionic ability. Senator La-Follette it the chunfYand companion of his children to a degree that is almost ideal. Senators Smoot, Dick and Tillman are other vearers of the toga whose children have become fairly well known to newspaper readers through the publication of characteristic anecdotes, and there are a number of other members of the upper house of congress who are kept youthful By their energetic offspring. Among the families of the members of the house of representatives children are so numerous as to render It impracticable to attempt a detailed- roster. The recent electrons which turned the control of the house over to the Democrats will likely serve to bring a couple of children who has spent virtually her entire life in the United States, her father having been stationed here continuously for some 16 years. The minister from Costa Rica and Senora Calvo head another family that has tarried long enough in this republic to feel perfectly at home. Alike to most of the Latin-American households, the Calvo family includes a number of children, and these young people are very talented in music and have formed an orchestra within their family circle. Senor de la Barra, the Mexican ambassador, whose wife died a little over a year ago, and who is about to marry his sister-in-law, has two handsome hoys aged 11 and 13 years, who are being educated in American schools, and the Chinese minister has daughters who are acquiring a Yankee education in the seclusion of their own home by the aid of an American governess. Baron Rosen, the Russtsn ambassador, has a pretty daughter, and there is also an attractive daughter of the "bud" age in the household of Marchese Susani Canfal* onieri, the new ambassador of Italy. ••„» --».,. into the limelight—the son and daughter of $jfe fSS&m&m*** >la»sN*j"-« Champ Clark of Missouri who is the fortunate man who has been selected to sooossd "Uhclo &m*0Qtrtr *m*<mmi9 « ths Jos" Cannon as speaker Speaker C U M has THE COURAGE OP LIFE.

ADVENTIST SENT TO PRISON German Soldie£*. Refuses to Obey Orders on SaKlrday Despite Two Sentences. Berlin. — Private Naumann has every prospect of spending t h e remainder of his life in prison because he persistently refuses to submit to military discipline on Saturday. Naumann, who belongs to t h e sect known as the Adventists, declares that Saturday is the real Sabbath, and that any kind of work on that d a y . even the lightest, is in the highest ^degree sinful. W h e n he became a soidter In 1907 he refused to obey any orders between sunset on Friday a n d sunset on Saturday. He was in consequence s e n t e n c e d to three months' imprisonment, but when released resumed his mutinous conduct and. received a second sentence of twox years' imprisonment. When released again he refused obedl* ence and w a s sentenced to five years' Imprisonment. On appeal, the higher military court . retried the case. Questioned by the presiding officer of the court, Naumann declared that as a Christian soldier his duty w a s to obey the religious law and refuse all work on t h e Sabbath. A s y s t e m a t i c study of t h e Bible had convinced h i m that It w a s wrong to regard Sunday a s the Sabbath, which was really Saturday. It was pointed out that continued persistence in this attitude would Inevitably result in his spending his entire life within prison walls, and' t h e presiding officer asked w h e t h e r Naumann w a s prepared to a c c e p t such consequences. Naumann replied: "Yes, certainly." .Questioned whether in w a r he would r e f u w t o fight on Saturdays, Naumann replied that he w o u l d then obey orders because the danger t o the Fatherland would justify it.

That Is the number of young men killed in football In the whole country tbia year, or as, many Pennsylvanians as have died from this cause in a century. These figures are offered not to prove that football la without a certain amount of risk, but to show that all human occupations are occompanied by some dangers; says the Philadelphia Inquirer. The law of averages is a remarkable one. It indicates that about a certain; number of persons die each year from fortuitous causes and if one clafcs is lacking the other supplies the deficiency. Parents who are afraid their boys will be injured er killed playing football may be encouraged by the fact that It is proved to be one of the most innocuous of sports. The danger from death or severe injury in any college sport is not anything like so great as that 6f being run down by an automobile or trolley car. Human life is precious and must be conserved. Science has done much for those who err in certain directions, but it has nothing to offer those who suffer from pure accident. All of which means that what is needed by young and old is simply a modicum of common sense. It is not to be foi gotten that the motber-^vh© kept' her boy home from school because he dreamed he had died was an actual mourner a few hours later because he fell off the roof. Let us all act sensibly, wltli courage, faith and proper caution. Those who take the most pains to escape accidents are apt to be the wors^ sufferers, but it is certain that boyish sports are not dangerous compared with the" most ordinary avocations of adults. T H E R E V I EW OF ASSESSMENTS MAY BE GIVEN BACK TO T A X COMMISSION. W A R D E N RUSSELL'S DEFENSE OF P U N I S H M E N T S FOR BAD PR1SONER8. Review of Things That Are Before the Legislature and Which Are Receiving Attention. BY L. C. WARD. There seems to be no question but that the legislature is going to give nack to the state tax commission the power to review local assessments on its own initiative and also that the commission will be given the appropriation necessary to engage the required help. A bill of Rep. Lord's, providing for this, was favorably re- ( ported out in the house and over in the senate Senator White introduced four bills on the tax subject. Two of them provides for the authority contained in the Lord bill, one creates a new state board of equalization and provides that it shall meet every two years instead of every five years, as in the past, and the other provides for an investigation of the- mining property of the state by a board of experts. When public drains are now authorized in farming, districts tne cost t* defrayed by first fixing a. drainage assessment district. Then /the cost is spread over one to three' tax years. The result is that the amount some farmers in the district must pay each year equal* or exceeds all their other taxes, so it Is a hardship. Besides, the contractors sell their pay certificates to local banks at 10 to 15 per cent discount, which means that they have b«en paid for the work that amount in excess of what they could have profitably done it for had they been paid in cash or bonds. To remedy this condition farmers ask that they be allowed to issue drainage bonds and Rep. Currie, of Midland, has introduced a bill for them. It provides that if the cost of a drain in a drainage district exceeds $2,000 bonds can be issued to pay the contractors, the bonds to run as long as I J years, providing two-thirds of the taxpayers in the district so petition, and a majority of the board of supervisors consent. Ohio and Iowa have such a law. A New York chauffeur, 17 years"Om, convicted of manslaughter in the second degree while on a Joy ride, baa been sentenced to ppend 1& years in the Elmira reformatory. The judge remarked that the next Joy rldar brought before Wria would bo sentenced to Sing Sing, adding: "You are only 17 years old, and it seems to me that the state of New York is guilty Itself in permitting such a youth as you to drive an automobile on our public thoroughfares." The Judge was right both In inflicting the penalty and in his comment on the~ recklessness that permits children to handle these powerful machines, says the Indianapolis Star. It is not until adequate ]junishment~TtP"fri('asured out to careless automobile drivers that their disregard for public rights will be checked. At the same time it is worth while ro remember that not all the many accidents by any means occur whenyoung drivers are in charge.-"""" There i-s the Anderson case for example, reported the other day, where a business man. of mature years turned to look back -while driving -his machine, and at that moment ran down and killed a child. Canada has custom house troubles also. It seems some of the fair damsels and matrons of t b # " Dominion have the habit of coming'over to "the States," getting new gowns and wear ing them back across the border, without going through the form «arf paying duty, says the Troy Times. And it is mere than hinted that the ladies not Infrequently roduige in smuggling in other ways. So the Canaddan collectors have taken a leaf from the book ol Collector Lo«b -of New York and a1 the more Important line* of travel to and from the Dominion have est a h Ltebed extra vigilant^ guards, assisted by women searchers. The result has been some clever captures .and a con siderable addition to the Canadian revenue. From ail of which it will be seen that trying to cheat the govern ment Is a practice confined tp no on* clime or country. Pnoportionately, tt is said, the lumber of Insane people in this country ii increasing faster than the population is growing, taking asylum statistics fot i t Even at that, there is scarcely a fellow but will declare that the asy luras don't get them ail, either. A fetafaahue scientist wants a mothers' course established in college* Still, the old-fashioned saother apparently understood her bneiness verj well, and probably present-day scientific infants are not so happy as hei cuddled and petted babies.

Warden Russell, of Marquette prison, who has been under ....fire, .from members of the legislature because cf his method of conducting, the prison, came back wth a speech made to the associated prison boards in Lansing. He took up the question of corporal" punishment nad showed that he had the worst convicts in the state sent to him because they _. could not be handled in JacKsbn, "where"there is ho corporal punishment. He also rapped Rep, Ogs. who has introduced a bill to abolish corporal punishment, exceedingly hard. Warden Russell was joined in his position by Wardens Fuller of Ionia and Simpson of Jackson. , A Drain Bill. Rep. Baldwin has introduced an important drain bill in the House. It •provides that in the case of a dispute between counties over-the paying for an intei-ijuunly drain thai 11 the pal1- ties can't pet together, that the state tax commission will be called as a board of arbitration and settle the question of bow the assessment Is to be levied. He has also introduced a bill for the payment in cities and townships -of- a dog tax which «s- to go into a- 1'und to pay for—4xvma-j?esdogs may do to animals or property. Work Is Dragging. Wliilo there- have he-en nearly ,JM more blihv introduced this .session tharrt-wo- years ago at the "same period, the legislature haifacrompllshed practically nothing. The House bars been worr.yjH^'.alona;, dealing with a great mixify unimportant things, but nothing oi really great importance has heen tackled nt all. From the present indications there is likely to be a session which will run right up to .June. Various Matters. ; T h e Ranh'in bill prohibiting high school fraternities was passed by the House, and it 1« likely to pass the Senate. The question of a Junket bill -still bothers the legislators and the question was thrashed over again on Wednesday. Hut a point of order was raised that sent the whole affair to committee again. An effort will be made in this legislature, it is rumored, to pass a bill substituting city, village and town- •ship lunal option for the, present conn-"" ty local option law. A similar bill has just been passed In Indiana and in Minnesota, where they have the smaller unit, the legislature has aujsstturned down a bill for county option. The Anti-Saloon league wl]>fight thfc measure in •M-iehiganr-<-a's it "would jriean_Lhal_iLiyQuld he-.almost impossible to vote^-ahV of the cities dry, In alrnqst-'all of the counties which are.jwfw dry, the cities gave wet majorities, but were voted dry by -the country districts. Reciprocity. The Democratic members of t h e legislature are all shattered on the question of reciprocity. The farmer members are opposed to the agreement, while the city members are for rt, and the two factions are being heartily laughed at by the Republicans. Mineral Reservation. The mineral reservation tax bill was up in the Senate Tuesday, hut was sent back to the committee because of the opposition to it. Senator Mortar ty claimed that it wonld prohibit any one buying land In the upper peninsula. The Bradley Case. The committee which investigated the charges made agaVist Senator Bradley will not report for several days yet. The report is to be a lengthy affair and the evidence laid before the committee will be pretty thoroughly gone into Because of the fight with Speaker Baker in the House, it has been proposed that no institutional committee be permitted to make trips of investigation and that no special appropriations be allowed. This meets with the partial endorsement of the governor, who says the spirit of economy demands that the special appropriations be cut as low as possible this year In order that the tax trad Ret may be kept within bounds and the deficits paid up, putting Michigan once more upon her feet. The Jnuket question Is still in the air. . The two houses now have the matter in conference but the senate is going to insist on the house adopting its plan—sending just the members of the ways and means commttee to visit the state Institutions. Justices will not lose their jobs as was planned in the bill by which the justices courts throughout the state were to give way to county courts. Attorney General Kuhn hre ruled that It will be unconstitutional to attempt to lr;1slete them out of boilneii under the terms of the bill Frank Knox's conference relative to the initiative, referendum and recall amendments to the state constitution resulted in an agreement that a poll of the House and Senate should be made at the earliest moment to see what chance these measures had for passage. Those who are opposed to the measures will then be flooded with letters, 5,000 of which the state grange is ready to send out. Another plan to awaken interest among those wavering on the proposition will be to bring to Lansing Senator Bourne of Oregon to talk to the members and endeavor to stir them up to the point of submitting the question. The Bradley graft hearing was concluded Friday morning with, tire" arguments of the attorneys. The taking of testimony was completed on Thursday afternoon. The special -committee will report sometime next week, but just when has not been decided. The evidence supported the story of Sherman H. Townsend very strongly and Senator Bradley contradicted himself and was very vague in his answers on the stand. _ If the committee reports that the charge of Townsend that Senator Bradley asked *75 from him for securing Townsend a job has been sustained it will be up to the Senate to declare vacant the seat of the senator from the eighteenth. Senator John Leidlein, of Saginaw war; elected president cf the State Board of Supervisors nt their meeting in Lansing last week. The supervisors passed resolutions asking the passage of a number of laws, among ihem the repeal of the soldier redemption law, a law that there be no appeal from the action of boards of supervision on claims, that county treasurers be allowed to deduct fees on Inheritance taxes, that the bonds of drain contractors be made broad enough to prevent them being paid for work before it Is completed and a number of others. Fen. 1(5 is t h e date set for the big battle in the House over the tonnage, tax. Right on top of this measure, which is so bitterly opposed by the mining companies, comes one which they consider even worse. This Is to tax the mines aB now on an ad Talorem basis and in addition tax them on their net incomes. By this means and T»y taxing all corporations on a similar basis it is hoped to make them pay all the state taxes, leaving to the individual property owners only the necessity of paying local 't&xes. Gov. Oshorn Is not going to push his suggestion for an amalgamation of the various medical boards. There has been so much objection and the doctors have demonstrated that there can he no harmony among them unless they have their several boards that it is not likely that anything wITl be done about the matter. The eprfng convention -will be held on March 2; and there promises to be a fight over reciprocity there. If the 1ssne Is Ignored it wffl be taken in some sections as a blow at President Taft, but on the other hand the farmers are sure to oppose any sanctioning of new trade relations with Canada.

Still, there is little doubt but that some kind of measure dealing with this subject will be passed. The bill asked by Governor Osborn providing for a commission 'to inves* tlgate all departments of the stale has passed. It carries with It an $8,000 appropriation. Resolutions have been introduced in the Senate both for and against the reciprocity program of President Taft. However, the sentiment, is so divided that it is impossible to predict what will be done. A Democratic resolution has also been Introduced ta the House, bat as It attack's the Republican party instead of boosting reciprocity there i> no chance of fti passing.

Following up this information it is found that the yields throughout the provinces of .Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, a s given the writer by agents of the Canadian Government stationed in different parts of the States, have been splendid. A few of the instances are given: Near Redvers, Sask., Jens Hortness threshed about 50 acres of wheat, averaging 29 bushels to the a c r e Near Elphmstone, Sask., many of the crops of oats would run to nearly 100 bushels to the acre. A Mr. Muir had about 200 acres of this grain and he estimates the yield at about 60 bushels per acre. Wheat went 35 bushels to the acre on the farm of Mr. A. Loucks, near Wymyard, Sask., in the fall of 1910. K. Erickson had 27 and P, Solvason 17. In the Dempster (Man.) district last year, wheat went from 25 to 3Q bushels per acre. Fifteen acres on the Mackenzie & Mann farm today went forty-three bushels to the acre. In the Wainwrlght and Battleriver ''districts yields of wheat averaged for the district 26 bushels to the acre. M. B. Ness, of the Tofield, Alberta, district, got 98 bushels and 28 lbs. of oats to the acre, while near Montrose, over 94 bushels of oats to the acre was threshed by J.

It Is a common belief that the negro's head is hard, capable of withstanding almost any blow. The following story told by a prouii^ nent young dentist of Danville,--HI,,, would seem to indicate somethijlg^ipf^ the kind anywhere. Two pegro\'m©|r;' were employed on tearing down JL three-story brick building. One negro was on top ot the building taking off the bricks and sliding them down a narrow wooden chute to the ground, some thirty feet below, where . the other was picking them up and piling them. When this latter negro was stoop-- ing over to pick up a brick the former accidentally let one fall, striking him •directly on the head. Instead of its killing him, he merely loooked up, without rising, and said, "What you doin' thar, nigger, you make me bite my tongue."—The Circle. \ j *y to the acre.

He tries to set woi'k<*;nid fails. A former college churn m a k e s :x business proposition to Howard which requires $"J,0O0 cash, and Howard i s broke. CHAPTER II.—Continued. • "You know I wouldn't, Annl^," he said earnestly. "Not one second have I ever regretted marrying you—that's honest to God!" , A faint flush of pleasure lit up the young wife's face. For all her assumed lightheadedness she was badly lin need of this; reassurance. If she 'thought Howard nourished secret re* jgrets it would* break her heart. She ')could stand anything, any hardship, ibut not that. She would leave him at [once. In a way she held herself responsible for his present predicament. She lhad felt a deep sense of guilt ever [since that afternoon In New Haven 'when, listening to Howard's importunities and obeying an impulse she. !was powerless to resist, she had flung [aside her waitress' apron, furtively [left the restaurant and hurried with (him to the minister who declared Itheia man and wife. . Their marriage was a mistake, of coarse. Howard was in no position *©»jceswry. They should have waited. prhey both realized their folly now. iBut what was done could not be undone. She realized, too? that it was iwbrse for Howard than it was for her. It had ruined his prospects at J +*•- line outset of his career and threatjened to be an irreparable blight on his entire life. She realized that she was largely to blame. She had doi\e wrong to marry him and at times she 'reproached herself bitterly. There were days when their union assumed In her -eyes the enormity of a a crime. She should have seen what a social gulf lay between them. All these taunts and insults from his family which she now endured she had foolishly brought upon her own head. But -*he—had rratri>eBiratte - t o - r e s i s t 4 h e - temptation. Howard came into hpr life when the outlook wa/^hi^ftry^aiid hopeless. He had offered to her whai seemed a haven against the cruelty and selfishness of the world. Happifor the first time in her life within reach and she had not the moral courage to say "No." -4f Annie had no education she was not without brains. She had sense , enough to realize that her bringing up or the lack of it was an unsurmountable barrier to her ever being admitted to the inner circle of Howard's family. If her husband's father had not married again the breach might have been crossed in" time, but his new wife was a prominent member of t h e smart set, a woman full of aristocratic notions, who recolied<with nor* r d r at having anything to do with a girl guilty of the enormity of earning fcuher own living. Individual merit, inr? herent nobility of character, amiability of disposition, and a personal repu- • tation untouched by scandal—-all this went for nothing—because unacconvfpanied by wealth or social position. j Annie had neither wealth nor position. She had not even education. They considered her common, impossible. They were ever ready to lend an ear to certain ugly stories regarding her past, none of which were true. After their marriage, Mr. Jeffries, Sr„ and his wife absolutely refused to receive her or have any communication with \ her whatsoever. #As long, therefore, as Howard remained faithful to her, " t h e breach with his family could never be healed. "Have some more stew, dear," she said, extending her hand for her husband's plate. Howard shook his head and threw down his knife and fork. "I've bad enough," he said despondently. "I haven't much appetite." She looked at him with concern. "Poor boy, you're tired out!" As she noted how pale and dejected he appeared, her eyes filled with sympathetic tears. She forgot the, appalling number of cigarettes he smoked a day, nor did she realize bow abuse of alcohol had spoiled his - stomach for solid food. I wish I knew where to go and get that $2,000," muttered Howard, his mind still preoccupied with Coxe's proposition. Lighting another cigarette, h e leaned back in .his chair an,d lapsed into silence. Annie sat and watched him, wishlog she could suggest some way to solve the problem that troubled him. She loved her husband with all her heart and soul. His very weakness of character endeared him the more to her. She was not blind to his faults, but aha excused, theto. His, Ttesa, his dtiuong, cigarette smoki&g • a d ganerai snlfflis—iso the result « ha* comacKT, (909, av o.w. DILLINCHAM COMPANY He was self-indulgent. He made many good resolutions and broke them. Hut he was not really vicious. He had a good heart. With some one to watch him and keej) him in the straight path he would still give a good account of himself to the world. She was confident of that. Siie recognized many excellent qualities in'him. They onlywanted fostering and bringing out. That was why she married him. She was a few years his senior; she felt that she was the stronger mentally. She considered it was her duty to devote her life to him, to protect him from himself and make a man of him. It was not her fault, she mused, if she was not a lady. Literally brought up in the gutter, what advantages had she had? Her mother died in childbirth and her father, a professional gambler, abandoned tfce AUtle girl to the tender mercies of an indifferent neighbor. When she was about eight years old her father was arrested. He refused to pay police blackmail, was indicted, railro&ded to prison and died soon after in convict stripes. There was no provision for Annie's maintenance, so at the age of" nine she found herself toiling in a factory, a helpless victim of the brutalizing system of child slavery, which in spite of prohibiting laws still disgraces the United States. Ever since that -time she had earned her own living. The road had often been hard, there were times when she thought she would have to give up the fight; other girls j n"0 e v e r w a g she had met had hinted at an easier way of earning one's living, but she had kept her courage, refused to listen, to evil counsel and always managed to keep her name unsullied. She left the factory to work behind the counter in a New York dry goods store. Then about a year ago she drifted to New Haven and took the position of waitress at the restaurant which the college boys patronized. —Robert tJiidt'l'Woud trer*—among the there must be this rupture with his family, yet something within told her that she was doing God's work—saving a man's soul. Without her, Howard would have gone swiftly to ruin, there was littlVdoubt of that. His affection for her had partly, if not wholly, redeemed him and was keeping him straight. He had ber-n good to her ever since their marriage and done everything to mak^JsTer comfortable. Once he took a position as guard on the elevated road, but caught cold and was forced to give it up. She wanted to go to work again, but he angrily refused. That aloue showed that he was not entirely devoid of character. He was unfortunate at present nnd they were poor, but by dint of perseverance he would win out and make a position for himself without his father's help. These were their darkest days, but light was ahead. As long as they loved each other and had their health what more was necessary? "Say, Annie, I have an idea," suddenly blurted out Howard. "What ia it, dear?" she asked, her reveries thus abruptly interrupted. "I mean regarding thafc>$2,000. You know all about that $250 which I once lent Underwood. I never got it back, although I've been after him many times for it. He's a slippery customer. Hut under the circumstances I think it's worth another determined effort. He seems to be better fixed now than He's living at the Astruria, making a social splurge and all that sort of thing. lie must have money, I'll try to borrow the $2^00 from him." "He certainly appears to be prosperous," replied Annie. "I see his name in the newspapers all the time. There is hardly an affair at which he is not present." Yes," growled Howard; "I don't sc<> how he does it. He travels on his students who came almost every day. He made love to her from the start, and one day attempted liberties which she was prompt to resent in a way he did not relish. After that he let her alone? She never liked the man. She knew him to be unprincipled ns well as vicious. One night he brought Howard Jeffries to the restaurant. They seemed the closest of cronies and she was sorry to see what bad influence the elder sophomore had over the y_riung_Ire£h.rnaiL_ to jQ-hxun she was at once attracted. Every time they came she watched them and she noticed how under his mentor 'Howard became more hardened. He drank more and more and became a reckless gambler^ Underwood seemed to exercise a baneful spell over him. She saw that he would sorm he ruined with such a man as Underwood for a constant companion. Her interest in the young student grew. They became acquainted and Howard, not realizing that she was older than he, was immediately captivated by her vivacious charm and her commonsense views. They saw each other more frequently and their friendship grew until one day Howard asked her to marry him. While she sometimes blamed herself for having listened too willingly, to Howard's pleadings, she did not altogether regret the step she had taken. It was most unfortunate that cheek, principally, I guess. His name was among those present at my stepmother's musteale t h e ' other night." Httterly he added: "That's how the world goes. There is no place for me under my father's roof, but that blackguard is welcomed with open arms!" "1 thought your father was such a proud man," interrupted Annie. "How does he come to associate with people like Underwood?" --Oh, pa-t^-F^s-^an-old dolt!'' exclaimed aged to make herself popular in the smart set and she needed money to carry out her social ambitions. Dad— wealthy widower—came along and she caught him in her net, that's all!" Annie listened with interest. She was human enough %a feel a certain sense of satisfaction in hearing that this woman who treated her with such contempt was herself something of an intriguer. „ "How did your stepmother come to know Robert Underwood?" she asked. "He was never in society." "No," replied Howard with a grin.' "It was my stepmother who gave him the entree. You know she was once engaged to him, but broke it off so she could marry dad. lie felt very sore over it at the time, but after her marriage he was seemingly as friendly with her as ever—to serve his own ends, of course. It is simply wonderful what influence he has with her. He exercises over her the same fascination that he did over me at colic;;:1. He has sort of hypnotized her. I don't think it's a case of love or anything like, that, but he simply holds her under his thumb and gets her to do anything he wants. She invites him to her homu\ introduces him right and left, got people to take him up. !•: very body laughs about it in society, ("tiderwood is known us Mrs. Howard .Jeffries' pet. Such a thing s'oon gets talked about. That is the secret of his successful career in New York. As far as I know, she's as much infatuated with him us ever." A look of surprise came into Annie's face. *To this young woman, whose one idea of matrimony was steadfast loyalty to tho man whose life she shared and whose name she bore, there was something repellent and nauseafing in a woman permitting herself to be talked about in that way. "Doesn't your father object?" she asked. " P s h a w ! ' laughed Howard. "He doesn't see what's going on under his very nose. He's too proud a man, too sure of his own good judgment, to believe for a moment that the woman .to whom he gave his name would be guilty of the slightest indiscretion of that kind." Annie was silent for a minute. Then she said1 "What makes you think that Underwood would let you have the money?" "Because I think he's got it.' I obliged him once in the same w a y myself. I would explain to him what T w a n t if tnr H P w i l l tinn nf nnno GO THROUGH? HOUSE PASSES RECIPROCITY B I L L W H I C H IS NOW UP TO T H E SENATE. T H E GREAT FIGHT IS Y E T TO COME AND W I L L BE A W A R M ONE. How the Michigan Delegation Voted in the House—Fordney Shouts "Buncoed." that it is a good thing. I'll offer him a good rate of interest, and he might be very glad to let mo have it. Anyhow, there's no harm Trying." — Annie said nothing. She did not entirely approve this idea of her husband trying to borrow money ot a man in whom his stepmother Was so much interested. On the other hand starvation stared them in the face. If Howard could get hold of this $2,000 and start in the brokerage business it might lie the beginning of a new President Taft's proposed agreemen for reciprocity between the United States and Canada passed the house of representatives Tuesday night by the efforts of the Democrats, who voted solidly for the measure. Of the Republicans present a majority of nine declared against the trade agreement. The final majority in favor was 129. and as 14.3 Democrats were on the majority side it is evident that without their stand the measure would have been defeated. Of the VI Michigan members thr.ee voted against reciprocity, seven did not vote and two were with the majority. Against: Fordney, Douais and' Mc- Laughlin. For: Denby and Young. Not voting: Townsend, Gardner, Hamilton, Diekema,. S. W. Smith, Mc- Morran andj^oud. Attention of whole country now is directed toward' the senate whioh will soon be the arena for a still more desperate light over the agreement. According to the latest reports, passage of the measure is believed: in administration circles to depend on the attitude of Senators Bailey of Texas and Hepburn of Idaho, who, it is said,' might effectually kill the measure by ?. joint filibuster. In the Canadian house Hon. George' E. Foster bitterly attacked reciprocity as delivering up the natural resources ot Canada to American combines, as a cutting loose from Britain and as tending toward annexation. The McCall bill now goes to the What its fate will be in that body is problematical. Mr, Taft believes that if_a filibuster can be avoided and a vote taken the bill will pass.

When the Geneva- Munich express arrived at Bregenz tho station master had a coach containing seven travelers uncoupled from the express and detained for examination. H° had been warned by telegraph from Zurich that seven smugglers of Geneva were in the train with a large quantity of saccharin. After an exhaustive search the officials galled to find any contraband and were about to apologize to the seven travelers for their detention when one customs inspector accidentally kicked a hot water pipe in a first class compartment and the secret was revealed. Ail the hot water pipes in the carriage were in duplicate, dfffering in no detail as to length, breadth and color, but one set was of /metal and the other set made of papier mache containing saccharin, which is about nine times as expensive in Austria as in Switzerland. came at the end of a long debate wJilch at times was as bitter as has been heard on the floor of that chamber for" years, The fi£ht was confined almost wholly to ttie Repnbllcan side.

He afterward said that be came on the fruit steamer Thor, but, an Inspection t>f the Thor's passenger list of that date WQUW have found 1t to be Mskraeylew. Curiosity, however, BOO* perished, and Dicky took his place among the heterogeneous Utter ol the coast— the stranded adventurers, refugees and odd fish from other countries tbat line the shore of the Caribbean. He was an active, devil-may-care, rollicking fellow with an engaging gray eye. t i e most irresistible grin, a rather dark, or much eun-fctrraed complexion, and a head of the fieriest red nair ever Been ra that country. Speak- Lig the Spanish language as well as B spoke English, and seeming always to have plenty of silver ta his pockets, tt was not longJ>eToreJhe w a s a welcome companion both with Che natives and*the resident foreigners. He developed an extreme fondness for vino hlaacboi could drink more rof it than any three men in the port, and to meet Dicky Matoney's brilliant head and smile coming down the street meant, to any of his acquaintances, the consumption Of from one to three bottles of strong. w"b1te wine. Everybody called Mm Dicky: everybody cheered up at sight of him—especially the natives to whom his marvelous «nddy hair and his free and easy style latere a constant delight and envy. A **i A considerable amount of speculat i o n still existed concerning the object of hie stay In Puerto Hey, but one day he silenced this by opening a small shop for the sale of cigars, dulces and the frynfltwni<k nt tho in. :.-7 IV-- -* terlor Indians—fiber and silk woven goods, deerskin zapatos, and basketwork of tule reeds. Even then he did not change his habits, for he was drinking and playing cards half the day and night with the comandante, the collector of the port, the Jefe Politico, and other gay dogs among the native officials. The care of the shop he left entirely to Pasa. And now:Jt - Is both desirable and fitting to make 'Paha's' acquaintance, for she was "h iSjcky's Digression. £ La Madama Timotea Buencamlnos y Salazar de las Yglesias kept a rum -shop In Calle numero ocho. No disgrace, mind you, for rum-making Is a government monopoly, and to keep a , government dispensary assures re* sbectabillty If not supereminence. Moreover, the saddest of precisians could And no fault with the conduct ofc the shop. Customers drank there fir the lowest of spirits and feawomelyj as in the.shadow of the dead, for la madama's ancient but vaunted lineage • counteracted even the rum's behest to ha Joyful. For, was she not of the Tglestas who landed with Piaarro? And had her deceased husband not been Comlsionado de Canrinos yPuent «» for the district? In the next room, seated in the cane -rocking-chair, dreamily strumming a • guitar, could generally' he found her -daughter Pasa-—"La Sanita Navan- Jada" the young men had named her. Navrnjada 1s the Spanish word for a certain shade of color that you must sTO to more trouble to describe in Engglish. By saying: T h e little saint tinted the- most beautlful-dellcateslightly- orange-golden" you will approximate the description of Dona 'Pass Buencamlnos y Salazar de las Yglesias, - . That Dicky Maloney would, sooner . or later, explore this field was a thing to be foreseen. There were few doors in Puerto Rey his red head had not ibeen poked Into. Be saw Pasa one afternoon sitting by the door with an unusually salntfy look upon her face. Dicky rushed off 'to find one of the white duck wall' flowers to present him. Is an incredibly short time he was seated close beside the cane rocking-chair. There •were no back-agamst-thejgajl poses quiet 'vegoclos until quite late. Anally ft* -would let them out the front door ^very carefully, and go upstairs to Ws 'little saint. These visitors were generally conspirator-like men With dark clothes and hats. Of course, these dark doings were noticed after \ a while, and talked about. 'Quite a number of letters arrived,; addressed to "Mr. Dicky Maloney," or \ "Senor Dtckee Maloney," to the con siderable pride of Pasa. That so many ) people should desire to write to him \ only confirmed her own suspicion that the light from his red head shone around the world. As to their contents she never felt curiosity. Th*re was a wife for you! The one mistake Dicky made in Puerto Rey was to run out of money at the wrong time, Where his money came from, was a puzzle, for the sales of his shop were n«xt to nothing, btft that source failed, and at a peculiarly unfortunate time. It was w"hen ]fbe comandante, Don Senor el Ooronel Encarnation Casablanca looked upon the little saint seated rn the shop and Mlt his heart go pitapat. The comandante, who was versed Mn all the Intricate, arts of gallantry, fjrft delicately hinted at his sentiments by donning his dress uniform and strutting up and down fiercely before 'her window. Pasa, glancing demurely with her saintly eyes, instantly perceived his resemblance to her parrot, Chichi, and was diverted t-o the extent of a smile. The comandante saw the Braile. which was not intended for him. Co»- vlnced of an impression made, he entered the shop, confidently, and advanced to open compliment. Paza froze; he pranced; she flamed royally: he was charmed to Injudicious persistence; she commanded him to leave the shoprhe tried to capture her hand and—Dicky entered, broadly smiling. full of white wfne^ and the devil. Five mnrates later he pitched the* comandante out the door upon the intones of the street, senseless. That five minutes Dicky had spent in punlshlng him scientifrcariy and Carefully, so that the pain might be prolonged as far as possible. A barefooted policeman who had been watching the affair from across the street, now blew a whistle and a squad of eight soldiers came running from the cuartel just around the corner. When ttiey saw that Dicky was the ^offender they stopped and blew more whistles, which brought out reenforcements of twelve. , Dicky, being thoroughly imbued with the martial spirit, stooped and drew the comandante's sword which was girded about Mm, and charged his foe. He chased the standing army four squares, playfully prodding Its squealing rear, and hacking Its bare, gingercolored heels. He was not so successful with the civic authorities. Eight muscular, nimble policemen overpowered him, and conveyed him, triumphantly but warily to jail. "El Diablo Colorado.'* they dubbed him, and derided the military for its defeat. Dicky, with the rest of the prisoners, could look out the barred^oor at the grass of a Httle plaza, a row of orange trees, and the red tfie roofs and 'dobe walls of a line of insignificant tlendas. At sunset, along a path across this plaza, came a melancholy, procession of sad-faced women hearing plantains, bread, casaba and fruit— each coming with food to some wretch behind those bars to whom she still clung. Thrice a day,, morning, noon and sunset, they were permitted to come. Water was furnished her guest? by the republic, but no food. For two days succeeding Pass came at each appointed time and brought him food. He eagerly inquired each time If a letter or package had come for him, and she mournfully shook her head. On the morning of the third day she brought only a small loaf of bread. There were dark circles under her eyei. She seemed as calm as ever. "By Jingo," said Dicky, who seemeo to speak in English or Spanish as the whim seised him, "this is dry proven der, muchachlta. Is this the best you .can dig up for a fellow?" Pasa looked at htm as a mother looks at a beloved but capricious It was an bow? befcre the consul came. He was a *ewctacled young man, a greedy botuna^ who was utilizing bis 'Office to study the tropic flora. He held a green umbrella under bis arm, and mopped his forehead Impatiently. ">*oW, see fcere, Maloney," he began, 'captiously, "you tallows seem to thmh you can cut up any kind of row, and expect me to pull you but of It I'm neither the "War Department nor a gold mine. This country has its laws, you know, and there's one against pounding the senses out of the regular army. You Irish are forever getting into trouble. I don't see what t can do. Anything like tobacco, now, to make you comfortable-^or newspapers-^" 'Son of EfT," interrupted Dicky, gravely, "you haven't changed an iota. That is almost a duplicate of the speech you made when old Keen's donkeys and geese got into the chapel loft, and the culprits wanted to hide in your room." "Oh, heavens'!" pxelaimed the consul, hurriedly adjusting bis spectacles "Are you a a Yale man. too? Were you in that crowd? I don't seem to remember any one with red--any one named Maloney. Such a lot of co^leg** men seem to have misused their advantages. One of the best mathematicians of the class of 'St is selling lot tery tickets in Belize. A Cornell man dropped off here last month. He was second steward on a guano boat. I'll write to the Department if you like. Maloney. Or if there's any tobacco, or newspa " "There's nothing." interrupted Dicky, shortly, "but this. You go tell the captain of the Catarlna that Dicky Maloney wants to see him as soon as be caD conveniently come. Tell him where 1 am. Hurry, That's all." The consul, glad to be let off so easily, hurried away. The captain of the Catarino, a stout man. Sicilian born, soon appeared, shoving, with little ceremony, through the guards to the Jail door. The Vesuvius Fruit Company had a habit of doing things that way In Puerto Rey. "I am exceedingly sorry—exceeding sorry," said the captain, "to see this til that perpendicular line came between his brows that always distressed Pasa. Presently she went and1 brought his hat, and stood with it until he looked up, inquiringly. "It Is sad for you here," she explained. "Go out and drink vino bianco. Come back when you get that smile you used to wear. That Is what I wish to see." Dicky laughed and threw down his papers. T h e vino bianco stage Is past. It has served its turn. Perhaps, after all, there was toss entered my mouth and more my ears than people thought. But, there will be no more maps or frowns tonight. ' 1 promise you that. Come." They sat upon e reed silleta at the window and hatched the quivering gleams fruio the lights of the Catarlna reflected in the harbor. Presently Pasa rippled out one of her infrequent chirrups of audible laughter. "1 was thinking," she began, anticipating Dicky's question, "of the foolish things girls have in their minds. Because I went to school in the states 1 used to have ambitions. Nothing less than to be the president's wife would satisfy me. And, look thou, red picaroon, to what obscure fate hart thou stolen me!" "Don't give up , hope," said Dicky, smiling. "There, was a, dictator of Chili named O'Higgins. Why not a President Maloney of this country? Say the word, and I'll make the race. We'll capture the Irish vote, easy running, by a head." II. The Vesuvius Plays. The banjftna republic of Go&taragua has, practically, two capitals. The one officially recognized is San Mateo, sev enty miles In the Interior. But, daring the hot season, from May to October, the entire administration removes to Puerto Hey, where the sea breeze renders the pursuit of business and pleasure possible. Custom had so established this annual heglra of the executive that a commodious government Did Senor Ortli understand Mr. Franzoni to mean five hundred thousand? By no means. Five hundred pesos. And In silver; not gold. "Your offer insults my government," said Senor Ortiz, rising indignantly. "Then," cried Mr. Franzoni, In a warning voice, "we will change it!" The offer was never changed. Mr. Franzoni must have meant something else. So, when the fifteenth day of May arrived the signs were that the presidential advent would not be celebrated by unlimited rejoicing. President Zarilla was a little, elderly man, grizzly bearded, with a considerable ratio of Indian blood revealed in his cinnamon complexion. As he was assisted into his carriage, his sharp, beady ejtes glanced around for the expected demonstration of welcome, but he faced a stolid, unenthnspd array of curious citizens. Sightseers the Co.staraguans are by birth and habit, and they turned out to the last able-bodied unit to witness the scene, but they maintained an accusive silehep. At'length, after a prodigious galloping and curvetting of red-sashed majors, gold-laced colonels and epauletted generals, the procession formed for its annual formal progress down the principal street—the Caraino Real—to the government building at its end. As the band struck up, and the movement began, like a bird of 111 omen the S. J. Pizzoni, Jr., the swiftest steamship of the Vesuvius line, gilded into the harbor in plain view of the president and his train. By the time the van of the procession had reached the government building, Captain Cronln, of the S. J. Pizzoni, Jr., and Mr. Vlncentl, member of the Vesuvius Company, had landed and were pushing their way, bluff, hearty and nonchalant, through the crowd on the narrow sidewalk. Clad In white linen, big, debonair, with an air of good-humored authority, they made conspicuous figures among the dark mass of unlmposing Costaraguans. They penetrated to within a "Shalt I Deliver Them to Enrico, Ollvarra's Assassin, or to His Son?' •with Dicky. At close range, was htB~-bab*r ^ A «*.. & ' :>i: "Think better of It," she said, in » low voice; "since for the next meal there will be nothing. The last centavo i s spent" She pressed closer agafewt the grating. Pasa lowered, her voice to almost a whisper. "And, listen, heart to my heart,*4 she said, "i have endeavored to be brave, but I cannot live without thee. Three days now " * Dicky caught a faint gleam of steel from the folds «f her mantilla. For once she looked to his face snd saw it without a smfle, sfcam, menacing and purposeful. Then he suddenly raised his hand and his smtte came back like a gleam of sunshine. T t * hearse signal of an incoming steamer's siren sounded ra the harbor. Dicky ca'led to the sentry who was peeing before the doert "What steamer o o m e s f T n e CSatartaa.* "Of the Vesuvius l i n e r "Without deobVef that lima." "Go yon, pioarfUa," said Diear, Josv Sosassisies BysteitoM shjogs ~b*p. 1 ously to P a s * "to the Amerieao eon •theory of subjection.

I place myself at your service, Mr. Maloney. Whatever you need shall be furnished. Whatever you say shall be done." Dicky looked at orm unsmllingly. His red hair could not detract from his attitude of severe dignity as he *tood, tall and calm, with bis now ?rlm mouth forming a horizontal line. "Captain De Lucco, I believe I still have funds in the hands of your company— ample and personal funds. I ordered a remittance last week. The money has not arrived. You know what is needed in this game. Money and money hnd -more money. Why has tt not been sent?" "By the Cristobal/' replied De Lucco, gesticulating, "it was dispatched. Where Is the Cristobal?

"For the present tt will sumee," eald )icky, softening as he crinkled the ea> -elope and looked down at the half nch thickness* of smooth.) dingy bills, "The long green!" be7 said, gently, vith a new reverence in hie gate. "Is •here anything it will not buy, cap* tain?" When the captain had departed Dicky called the sergeant of the jail squad and asked: "Am J preso by the military or by »he civil authority?" "Surely there Is no martial law is effect now, senor." Bueno. Now go or send to the alcaide, the Jues de la Pat and the Jefe de loa Policies. Tell them I am prepared at once to satisfy the demands of justice.*4 A folded hill of the "long green" slid Into the sergeant's hand. So, that night Dicky sat by the window of the room over his shop and hit little saint oat close by, working at something silken, and dainty. DtQk? was thoughtful and grave. His red hair was In an unusual stats of disorder. Pasa'a fingers often ached to aaoatfc mod arrange It, b i t Dicky •MM never allow U. He was poring, topsgbt, over a great Utter of maps and boota and vaeiB^m Ma table a * building had been erected on the1*" 'Jew yards of the steps of the brown beach at Puerto Rey for the use of the stone building Casa -Moreno, the brown White House of Costaragua. Looking easily above the heads of the crowd, they perceived another that towered above the undersized natives. It was the fiery poll of Dicky Maloney against the wall close by the lower step, and his broad, seriuetivn grin showed that he recognize^ fhp^- rrt>eence. ~~ Dicky had attired himself becoming ly for the festive occasion In a wellfitting black Bult. Paaa was close by his side, her head covered with the ubiquitous black mantilla. Mr.-~Vlncent1 looked at her attentively. "Nottlcelli's Madonna," he remarked, gravely. "I wonder when whe got Into the game. I don't like his getting tangled with the women. I hoped he would keep away from them." Captain Cronin's laugh almost drew attention from the parade. "With that head of hair! Kec*p away from the women! And a Maloney! Hasn't he got a license? But, nonsense aside, what do you think of the prospects)? It's a species of filibustering out of my line," Vincent! glanced again at Dicky's head and smiled. "Rouge et noir," he said. "There you have it. Make your play, gentlemen. Our money Is on the red." They ceased talking, for General Pilar had descended from the first carriage and had taken his stand upon the top step of Casa Morena. As the oldest member of the cabinet, custom had decreed that he should make the address of welcome, presenting the keys of the official residence to the president at Its close. Holding in his hand the gilt keys of Casa Morena, he began his address in s historical form, touching upon each administration and the advance of civilization and prosperity from the first dim striving after liberty down to present times, Arriving at the regime of President Zarilla, at which point, according to precedent, he should have delivered a eulogy upon Its wise conduct and the happiness of the people, General Pilar paused. Then he silently held up the bunch of keys high above his head, with his eyes closely regarding it. The ribbon with which they were bound fluttered In the breeze. "It still blows," cried the speaker, exultantly. "Citizens of Costaragua, give thanks to the saints this night that our air Is still free." Thus disposing of Zarilla's administration, he abruptly reverted to that of OHvarra, Costaragua's most popular ruler. OHvarra had been assassinated nine years before while in the prime of life and usefulness. A faction of the Liberal party led by Zarilla himself had been accused of the deed. Whether guilty or not, it was eight years before the ambitious and scheming Zarilla had gained his goal. Upon this theme General Pilar*a eloquence was loosed. He drew the picture of the benefieent OHvarra with a loving hand. He reminded the peaple of the peace, the security and the happiness they had enjoyed during that i period. He recalled in vivid detail and with significant contrast the last summer sojourn of President OHvarra In Puerto Rey, when his appearance at their fiestas was the signal for thundering vivas of love and approbation. | The first public expression of send- I ment from the people that day followed. A low, sustained murmur went president and his official family during their sojourn. But now, this year, though the middle of May was almost come, the heart of the people waa not stirred to the' customary joyous preparation. Throughout the entire republic there seemed to be a spirit of silent, sullen discontent. The, administration of President Zarilla had made him far from a popular idol. Fresh taxes, fresh import duties, and, more than all, his tolerance of the outrageous oppression of the citizens by the military had rendered him the" most obnoxious president since the despised Alforan. But the most impolitic of the administration's moves had been when it antagonized the Vesuvius Fruit Company of New Orleans, an organization plying twelve steamships, and with a cash capital something larger than Costaragua's surplus and debt combined. Naturally, an established concern like the Vesuvius would become irritated at having a small, retail republic with no rating at all attempt V* squeeze it 8o. when the government proxies applied for subsidy they encountered a polite refusal. The president retaliated by clapping an export duty of one real per bunch on bananas— a thing unprecedented In fruit growing countries. An emissary requested an interview with a representative of the company. The Vesuvius sent Mr. Franzoni, a little, stout, cheerful man always whistling Verdi. Senor Ortiz, secretary to the Minister of Finance, attempted the sandbagging In behalf* of Costaragua. 8enor Ortiz opened negotiations by the announcement that the government contemplated the building of a railroad to skirt the alluvial coast lasda. After touching upon the benefits such as improvement would confer upon the. interest* fit the Vesuvius, ha reached the. dissCdts suggestlo » that a contribution to the read's among then like the. surf rolling along expense of one hundred thousand pesos would not be more than an equivalent, to benefits received Mr. Prsnsoni denied amy benefits "that rouge wins." from 4he roasssa>b>Mua of a road He wa»j aothortsooV s*wov et, to offer a frtbdjteo of fie, huadred » - t h e OOBtteemtBlp taiera. the ihm, "Ten dollars to a dinner at the Saint <!ha*lte/* remarked Mr. Vinoentt. "m Spanish," replied VtaeeatiL "runs about ten words to the minute; his is something around two hundred. Whatever he's saying, he's getting them warmed up." "Friends and brothers," Genera) Pilar was saying, "could I reach out my hand this day across the lamentable silence of the grave to OHvarra 'the Good," to the ruler who was one of you, whose tears fell when you sorrowed, and whose smile followed your joy—I would bring him back to you, but—OHvarra is dead—dead at the hands of a craven assassin!" The speaker turned and gated boldly Into the carriage of the president Ills aim remained- extended aloft self to sustain his peroration. T h e president was listening, aghast, at this remarkable address1) of welcome. "Who says thai Olivarra is dead?"' suddenly cried the speaker, his voice, old at? he was, sounding like a battletrumpet. "His body lies in the grave, but, to thp people be loved he has beqututhed his spirit—yes, more-»-hls learning, his courage, his kindness— yes, more-—bin youth, his image—people of Costaragua, have you forgotten* the son of Olivarra?" Cronln and Vincent!, watching closely, saw Dkky Ma!oney suddenly raise his hat, tear off his shock of red hair, leap up the steps and stand at the side of General Pilar. The minister of war laid his arm across the young' man's shoulders. All who had known President Olivarra saw again his same lion-like pose, the same frank, undaunted expression, the same high1 forehead with the peculiar line of the clustering, crisp black hair. Genera] Pilar was an experienced orator. He seized the moment of breathless silence that preceded thestorm. "Citizens of Costaragua," he trunkpeted, holding aloft the keys to Casa Morena, "I am here to deliver these keye—the keys to your homes and liberty— to your chosen president Shan' I deliver them to Enrico, Ollvarra's* assassin, or to bis son?" "Olivarra! OHvarra!" the crowd? shrieked and howled. All vociferated the magic name—men, women/ ohildren and the parrots + And the enthusiasm was not con> fined to the blood of the plebs. Colonel Rocas ascended the steps and laid his sword theatrically at Youttg Ramon Olivarra'b feet, Four members o f the cabinet embraced him. Captain- Cruz gave a command and twenty o r -fll Clento ilullaudo. demounted and^ arranged themselves^in a cordon about the steps ol Casa Morena. Hut Ramon Olivarra seized that moment to prove hirageJULa. horn geniusund politician. He waved those HOI- (iiors- aside, and descended the steps to the Ktmct. There, without losing his dignity or the distinguished elegance that the lotss of his red hair brought him, he took the proletariat to his bosom—the barefootesjr the dirty, Indi'ahR, Caribs, babies, beggars, old, young, saints,, soldiers and sinners— h<- missed none of them. While this act of the drama was being produced the ecene-shlfters had) been busy at the duties assigned them. Two of Cruz's dragoons had seized) , the bridle reins of President Zarilla's horses, others formed a close guard, and they galloped off with the tyrant and hi? two malodorous ministers. N o doubt a place had been prepared for them. There are Quite a number of well-barred stone apartments In Puerto Rey7 "Rouge wins," said Mr. Vincent^ calmly lighting another cigar. Captain Cronln had been intently watching the vicinity of the steps for some time. * "Good boy!" he exclaimed, suddenly, as if relieved. "I was wondering If he was going to forget his Kathleen Ma vourneen." Young Olivarra had reascended the steps and spoken a few words to Gen era! Pilar. That distinguished veterandescended to the walk and approached* Pasa, who still stood, calm and won dereyed, where Dicky had left her With his hat In bis hand, and his medals and decorations shining oa his breast, the general gave her hb arm, and they went up the steps together. And then Ramon Olivarra stepped forward and took both her hands before all the people. And while the cheering was breaking out afresh, everywhere Captain Cronln and Mr. Vincentr turned and walked back toward the landing where the ship's gig was waiting for them. "There'll be another president* prodamada in the morning," said Vlncentl, musingly. "As a rule, they are not as reliable as the elected oaee. But this youngster seems to have good1 stuff In him. He planned and vered the whole campaign. Olrvarra'r widow, you know, was wealthy. Ska? gave the boy eight years of the heat education In the states.

It needs the wealth and Income of the big show to support a .goodly company of riders. Prom one standpoint, the high salaries of the circus riders appears to be justly deserved. Riding Is the most difficult of all circus stunts to master as well as the most dangerous to perform, once the knack of poising on a galloping horse has been mastered. As has been mentioned above, the average new recruit in the ranks of circus riders comes of an equestrian family and consequently he or she has the benefit of capable instruction at home. To attain the greatest proficiency in riding, as in any other acrobatic line, practice should begin* in childhood,—A youngster under instruction under such circumstances is lifted by the father or mother onto the horse upon which the adult rider Is practicing. At first the. beginner must be held In place on the horse's back, but gradually confidence is gained and the new rider can maintain his position with no aid save a steadying hand when there comes a sudden lurch of the plunging mount. Finally he is able to take care of himself unaided and then gradually there are mastered all the tricks of mounting a horse at a gallop and the feature work such as leaping over banners and through paper-covered hoops. Some circus children serve an apprenticeship as bareback riders on Shetland ponies-'-notoriously steady of gait and BO small that a tumble from the back ot UUM IS hot so likely to result in broken bones. A very ingenious contrivance has been perfected for giving confidence to new recruits among women bareback riders. It is, in effect, a swinging pole supported at one end by a pole corresponding to the center pole of a circus ring. This pole swings round and round the ring, keeping pace with the horse galloping around the sawdust arena. At the outer end o f this pole is a contrivance which grasps the timid rider around the waist or under the arms and which wilt enable her to take her entire weight off the horse at a moment's notice. The reader will appreciate that with this support in reserve the rider nee'd not fear overbalancing. If she does lose her balance the pole will hold her up and enable her to regain her proper position on the back of the horse traveling directly underneath. Circus riders exercise great care in the selection of their horses— "rosin-backs," as the circus people call them, because of the powder that is sprinkled on their broad backs to prevent the riders from slipping. The ideal-horse for bareback work must be good tempered; steady and unvarying in gait, and heavy enough to present a broad back as a moving platform for the performer's feats. Circus riders, it may be added, not only ride in the circus ring, but also in the daily parade.

It was clear then that he d once "been a cork cutter, and the asHon ot farther inquiries finally him. T o return, however, to the cases of personality. The first one of historically is that of a named SorgN, in Bavaria, who as • • ffwloptlr nfiil in one of the refrom the breaking down 6f a growth doubtedly affected his brain in a physical sense. But of the more curious cases of gin and leave off suddenly, but which endured for a number of years, there are w number of instances. One was M'ss'Mary Reynolds, who for 15 or 16 years had two states of existence, in one of which she. was a melancholy, morbid young woman and in the other a tray, hysterical, mischievous child. The alternations, m which the child state lasted from five to six weeks, jiato, criminal frame .of mind ! continued at intervals of varying toBowed on his epileptic sefz- (length for 15 or 16 years, but finally htUed a Woodcutter. He made i ceased when she attained-the age of to defend or hide his act, | thirty-five or thirty-six, leaving her explained It. He con- j permanently in her secondary or acquired state. The emotional opposition of the two states had, however, become gradually reduced, and the third state at which she eventually arrived was a rational state, removed from both of them. There are cases ef multiples personality, of which the best known is that of the epileptic Luis© Vita, whose tor a week after the h1sr first personality was to Mm.

Miss *Beauchamp was a neurasthenic but clever young woman, who overworked at college. She was of a morbidly conscientious and rather reserved disposition. She was hypnotized in order to try the power of suggestion, and out of one of these hypnotic trances emerged a new Miss Beauchamp — a person entirely different from the original Miss Beauchamp' In manners, ideals, education and temperament. This new Miss Beauchamp was called "Sally" Bear champ, and one of the peculiarities'©! her mlchlevous temper was a/profound dialike of the "other Miss Beauchamp." The case is too complex and too curious for complete summary here, but it presents the amazing fact that in one brain may reside the possibility of the existence of two entirely different beings, different in mind, thought, disposition, health andtemper. Quite apart from any attempt to deceive on the part of such "abnormal" cases, one of the symptoms of brain injury or incipient brain affection is the real ability to distinguish between the real and the unreal. One of the authorities in London on brain recently asked a young girl who had been deceiving her parents for some years with fables as to imagined incidents and imagined acquaintances what was the difference to her between these imaginary things nad^the- real existence, for example, of himself and of the roon%where they were standing.

Brown, of Owodso, petitioned somo time ago to have her declared legally dead, that they might collect her share of the estate of her father, Sanford Burgess, valued at SG.OOU, appeared suddenly, calling on Brown, and disappeared us suddenly without making any explanations. Mrs. Brown left Owosso suddenly teu years ago, leaving her three children and-husband. She has never been heard from since. Saturday night, however, her son, who works at the National hotel, was approached by a well-dressed woman, who threw her arms about his neck, called him her darling boy, and after a few more words, left. Brown does not remember what his mother looked like and is therefore not sure that this woman isn't an impostor. The petition to declare the woman dead comes up on Feb. 20.

There are several species of cattle ticks, but t h e chief one is commonly, called tftc "'cattle" or "Texas fever" tick. I t $s t h e one* most frequently found cm 'cattle and i s much more abundant than" the 6ther species. When the losses occasioned by this parasite -«re <onse thoroughly understood by farmers and stockmen there will be Itttle need for arguments- in favor ot tick eradication. Some of the losses a r e not'directly* noticeable and consequently make Tittle impression, white ether losses properly chargeabl « t o t h e *fick'are frequently attributed tO'uiherncauscs. Various -writers have estimated the ammral loss due t o the tick a t from |*W)0,'OO 'to '$100,000,000. These figvenlent and practical way of treating cattle on the majority of farms. A good style of pail spray pump will be sufticient for treating Bmall herds. About 15 feet of 3-3 inch high-pressure toose is required and a type of nozxle furnishing a cone-shaped spray will be found satisfactory. A nozzle with two small an aperture should not be used. Every portion of the body juould Jpe thoroughly treated, special \ttentibn being given to the headi dewlap, brisket, inside of elbows, thighs and flanks, the tail and the depressions at the base of the tall. Crude oil alone may be used, but In general it 20 to 25 per cent, emulsion will be better. All the cattle should be sprayed every two weeks and the treatment should not be discontinued Sijrnply because the ticks have become scarce or seem to have disappeared. In localities where ticks commonly occur on cattle in considerable numbers during t h e winter time it will be advisable t o continue spraying. In localities where ticks disappear or a r e present ifi -very small numbers during the winter,, the cattle should be inspected carefully each week to remove and destroy any ticks that may be present. When warm weather comes, "it will &e well in all cases in which spraying 'has been discontinued during the winter to begin spraying and continue until it can be determined wifti 'certainty that eradication h a s been*"-trtrccnnplished. The spraying should not be delayed until ticks show again 'in considerable numbers. One tick'destroyed in the early spring will save the trouble of destroying thousands a few months later.

Wash off the ointment in five minutes with Cutieura Soap and hot water and bathe freely far some minutes. Repeat morning and evening. At other times use hot water and Cutieura Soap for bathing the face a s often as agreeable.

This however is no particular measure of their suffering because it is common with the Chinese in that part of the world to kill or sell their daughters.

T u b e r c u l o s i s fu view of the present wide apread interest in the anti tuberculosis movement it seems to us that a few general considerations ct this disease might interest our readers. I n the first place it is well to understand that tuberculosis is a house disease, and is rarely if ever found among savage tribes that do not inhabit houses, while these same tribes are exceedingly proue to the disease when housed in what is to often the modern way. Tuberculosis is also now recognized as being the most curable of the chronic diseases, not by taking medicine, but by proper living with special attention to getting plenty of fresh air, food and proper amounts of rest. I t is also a fact that this disease may be communicated from pne person to another if the diseased person is sufficiently careless and the recipient of the infection is in a proper ph y steal state t o become susceptible to the disease. To be more explicit, if a consumptive i s careless in the disposal of his spittle, expectorating in public places or where it may come in contact with other persons, any one whose impaired health or manner of living has caused him to have a weakened resistance to disease may contract it by inhaling or ingesting the germs f romthis e»rjutum. Not all consumptives have these germs in their sputum as in the early stages of the disease the germs are not given off from the* lungs. The breath of the sick person is s o t infectious, and unless they in some manner -OBITUARY- - ^ * * * * # * ; ^ ^ - . ^ * * w « * i t # * * 4 r i w iSPECIALFOR Howard & Solon's O y s t e r s all the time at MONKS' B R O S that it may come in contact with a susceptible person it is not dangerous. a Light, especially sunlight, is fatal to these germs, and the direct rays of the sun destroy them in a very short time, hence all rooms should be treated with a sunpath whenever possible, as the light not only destroys these* but other dangerous germs Tlie germs are also"~de&troy-ed--by-h+£l MAKY FLOKKNCK FITCH Mary Florence Fitch WHS horn in Hamburg towusjiip November 10, 1897 and died Monday February 13, 1U11 at the age of 13 years, 3 months and 3 days. Florence, daughter of John and Mary Fitch, was one of a family of seven children, five of whom are now living. Af the age of three she had scarlet fever after which she never fully regained her health. A few days before her death she was stricken with that dreaded desease', pneutnouia. There WHH H hard Btruirgkntout ueariug the journeys end she seemed to welcome the Angel of death and passed peacefully «way. W I L L I A M B U T L E K William Butler was born in Nankin Wayne, Co~May I, 1869 and died at the home of Henry Huskinson in Hartland February 9, 1911. He was married to Sarah Hart of Soutbfield Mjch, Mandi 4, 1891 and to this union were born three children one having diet! in infancy.

While a rnrefnI consumptive is noL all a dangerous person to live with, one who is careless about the disposal of his sputum is certainly a menace to the safety of his fellows. T h e absolute safety of careful persons lis proven by-the records of sana- Ltorialor the treatment of tuberculosis, as among the thousands of persons employed in these places there is no record of one of them ever contracting the disease notwithstanding the fact that they are constantly associated with the patients in the most intimate manner, caring for and-auxsing them, washing their cloth4ng and dishes, and performing^jiwKW/ services that necessitate a close Intermingling with the patients. On the other hand we often see the disease communicated from oue to another when the sick person through ignorance or carelessness is allowed to deposit his sputum where it may be carried by flies, or is allowed to dry and be carried as dust to susceptible persons. If you have symptons of tuberculosis, such as afternoon fever, gradual loss of weight, pain in the chest of coagh, find out at once what the trouble is as then the more quickly and surely may you be cured. Do not be afraid to learn the truth, for YOUR safety lies in knowing what the trouble is. Do not be alarmed lest others will be afraid of you, as only those who are ignorant of the facts are afraid of a careful consumptive. I t goes without saying that the disease might be communicated by kissing, which adds another danger to this popular pastime. To recapitulate:— 1. Tuberculosis is preventible. 2. Tuberculosis iscurable. 3. I t is communicable. 4. You will not contract it if you live R I G H T and have plenty of fresh air night and day. 5.

CAVKHl V, Fubll»ber *>lSCKt*KYt - - *fICBIGAN "***: T H E OLD-TIME PARLOR. There used to be in almost every rural bpHj« in the country a sacred rooin —the; j"parlqr.*'. Every reader is proba b l y f*m<ltar\vrth it( for It still exists, 1 hough, not so universally as it did years ago, when no home in t b i land, In village, hamlet, or on farm, was considered complete or well-equipped without this dismal apartmentf-carefully shuttered in against air and sunlight; a jar of waxwork on the center table; a collection of curious odds and ends ow the what-not in the corner; mottos affd chromos on the wall; a vivid ingrain or Brussels carpet on the floor' The sound of festivity seldfAn penetrated the gloom of this parlor, says the Philadelphia Press. At rare intervals distinguished visitors were received in it—witnesses of wedding or funeral. It was never u pleasant room; it smelled damn and dusty; the children stood in awe of it; and yet it was their mother's pride. Happily -.he day of tbe p:jntup, unsavory parlor is fast passing away. The children, going out into the bigger world with observant eyes, have returned to the homestead and insisted upon flinging open the doors and windows and admitting a burst of sunlight and a rush of pure air. They have m a d e a Uvjag- room of a tomb. In their childhood the kitchen was the most comfortable place in the house; it was scrubbed* every day, ventilated always, made light arid airy and clean and hospitable while J h e ghastly forbidden precincts, of the parlor were exposed to sanitary search not oftener !han twice a year—during the inevitable spring and fall hcusecleaning. It is only recently that they have discovered a way of canning decayed fggs.and there are bakers in the large cities who are so devoid of honesty that they 'vould as soon use rotten egv;s as fresh ones. Thus a market is created, and but for the fact that the state under its pure food laws can -*tep__in and condemn this product as unfit for~~cohsumptlfln, the problem cfeated by cold storage would have been rendered more complex as the year go by, says the Rochester Herald.

Again Canada is to tbe fore, and has secured at the National Corn Exposition just closed at Columbus, Ohio, th* magnificent Colorado silver trophy valued at $1,500, for the best peck,of oats. These oats were grown by Messrs. Hill & Sonjof Lloydminster, Saskatchev-an„ and. as may readily be understood, were of splendid quality to have been so successful In a contort open to the world, and in which competition was keen. At the same Exposition there were exhibits of wheat and barley, and in all these competition*, the grala shown by Canada secured a wonderful amount of attention, and also a nui ber of awards. During recent exhibl-' tions at which grain from Western Canada was given permission for entry, it always took first place. At the Spokane Interstate Fair, last fall, where the entries were very large, and the competition keen, the Province of Alberta carried off the silver cup, given by Governor Hay, for the best state or province display, and a score of prizes was awarded Canadian exhibitors for different exhibits of wheaL oats and barley threshed and in the sheaf. Vegetables also received high awards. A pleasing feature of these exhibits was they were mostly made by farmers who had at one time been American Citizens and were now farming in Canada. The Department of the Interior is just in receipt 'of "a" magnificent diploma given by the Tri-State Board of Examiners at the Fair held in Cincinnati last fall for agricultural display by Canada. ' The Surveyor-General of Canada has just completed a map showing that a large area of land was surveyed last year in the northern portion of Saskatchewan and.Alberlg in order to be ready for the^fisj|:oi homesteaders to that district during'the coming spring and summer. It is understood surveys covering several hundreds of thousands of acres will be made 3n addition to these during the coming summer. A return just Issued by the Dominion Lands Branch shows that 48,257 homestead entries were made last year as.compared with 37,061 in 1909; this 48.257. 14.704 were made by Americans. North Dakota coming first on the list with 4,810, Minnesota gives 2,528, South Dakota_L133, Wiscon n 74«, Washington 730, Michigan 7<>G, Iowa 045, while other states show less, but with the exception of Delaware, District of Columbia and the Indian Territory, every state and , territory contributed. The prospects for an abundant crop In all parts of Western Canada for 1911 are said to be excellent. In the districts that required-it^-ther-e-Avas an— ample rainfall last autumn, and the snowfall during the present winter is greater than in many previous years. Both are essential factors to the farmers, who look upon the moisture that these will produce as being highly beneficial. t A large immigration from the United States is expected, and the demand for > literature "and information from the various Government Agencies located at different points in the States is the greatest it has ever been. Since the above was written word has been received that in addition to honors won at Columbus, Ohio, Cana* da won first and second on wheat a-nd first and second on oats, as well as diplomas. Norman Cherry of Davis, Saskatchewan, who was in the reserve for first on wheat, secured the award, with G. H. Hutton of Lacombe, Alberta, second. J. C. Hill & Sons got first on oats besides the silver trophy. G. H. Hutton took second in oats. Many men enjoy a* dry smoke. Why not a dry drink? Snow Slide Death to Many.

"Why do you ask?" inquired Howard, his curiosity h o u s e d . Coxe looked around to see if any one was.^ listening. Then in a whisper he said: "It's a cincn. If you had $2,000, you and I could make a snug little fortune. Don't you understand? In my office I g e t tips., I'm on the inside. I know in advance what the big men are going to do. .When they start to mine a certain stock u-p, I'm on the job. Understand?

If we hit it right we might make a nice income." -Howard's moutff watered. Certainly that was the kind of life he likedbest.

From the car window as the train wound Its serpentine course in and out the maze of grimy offices, shops and tenements, everything appeared drab, dirty and squalid. New York w a s seen at its ugliest.' Ensconced In a •Cross-seat, his chin leaning heavily 00 his hand, Howard gazed dejectedly out of the window. The depressing outlook wa& in keeping with his own state of mind. How would the adventure end? Reconciliation with his father was out of the question. Letters sent home remained without response. He wasn't surprised. He knew his pater too well t o expect that he would relent so soon. Besides, if the old man w a s so infernally proud, he'd show him he had. some pride, too. He'd drown himself before he'dvgo down on his knees, whining to be forgiven. 'His lather was dead wrong, anyway. His marriage 'might have been foolish; 'Annie might be beneath him socially. She was not educated and her father wasn't any better than he ought to be. She did not talk correctly, her manners left much to be desired, at times he w a s secretly ashamed of her. But her bringing up was her misfortune, not her fault. The girl herself w a s straight as a die. She had a heart of gold. She was far more intelligent, far more likely to make him a happy home than some stuckup, idle society girl ' w h o had no thought for anything save money, dress and show. Perhaps if he had been l e s s honofaTfle~and not married her, his father 'would have thought more highly of bina. . If he'd ruined the girl, .no doubt he would Save been welcomed home with open arms. Pshaw! He might be a poor, weak fool, but thiiik God, they couldn't reproach him with that. Annie bad been loyal to him throughout He'd stick to her through thick and thin. As the train swept round t h e enrre at Fifty-third street and started on its long, straight jrafc up ; tbe W e s t side, his mind reverted t o Robert Underwood. He had seen bis old associate only once siqee reaving college. He res across htm one-day on FJ/th »••* • * 4 4 him what ha chose. He wondered why he had not tried to resist. The truth was Underwood exercised a strange, subtle power ever. him. He had the power tA m/rke him 6> 5everytJiisV;he wanted htni to do, no matter how foolish or unreasonable the" request. Hvery one a t ' c o l l e g e ' u s e d t o talk about it. One night Underwood invited 1}1 his classmates to his rpoms and made him cut up all kinds of capers. He at first refused, point blank—but Underwood got up and, standing directly in front of him, gazed steadily into his eyes. Again he commanded him to do these ridiculous, degrading things. Howard felt himself weakening. He was suddenly seized with the feeling that he must obey. Amid roars of laughter he recited the entire alphabet standing on one leg, he crowed like a rooster, he hopped like a toad, and he crawled abjectly on his belly liRe. a snake. One of the fellows told him afterward that he had been hypnotized. He had laughed at it then as a good joke, but now he came to think of it, perhaps it was true. Possibly he was a subject. Anyway he was glad to be rid of Underwood and his uncanny influence. Tin' train stopped with a jerk at his station and Howard rode down in the elevator to t h e street. Crossing Highth avimue, he was going straight home when suddenly he halted. The glitter and tempting array of bottles in a corner saloon window tempted him. He suddenly felt'that if there was one thing hip needed in the world above all others it was another drink. True, he had had more than enough already. But that was Coxe's fault. Jle had invited him and made him drink. There couldn't be any harm in taking another. He might as well be hanged for a sheep a» a lamb. 4By the time he emerged from the saloon his speech was thick and his step uncernue. Underwood was coming out of a curio shop. He explained hurriedly that he had left Yale, and when asked about his future plans talked vaguely of going in for art. His matter was frigid^ and nervous—the attitude of the man who fears he may be approached for a. small loan. He was evidently well aware of the change in his old associate's fortunes, and having squeezed a l l h e could out of him, had no further use for him. It W23 only when he had disappeared that Howard suddenly remembered a loan of $250 which Underwood had never repaid. Some time later Howard learned that he occupied apartments at the exclusive and expensive Astruria, where he was living in _. great style. He went there determined to see him and demand his money, but the card always came back "uot at home." Underwood had always been a mystery to Howard. He knew him to be an inveterate gambler and a man entirely without principle. No one knew who his family were or where he caaie from. His source of income, too, was always a puzzle. At college he-^was -always hard upr 4>orrowing right and left and forgetting to pay. I tain. A few minutes later he was yet he *always succeeded in living on painfully climbing up the ricketvstairs the fat of the land. His apartments 1 of a cheap-looking flat house. As he '| Wish I Could Help .You, Old Man." in the Astruria cost a small fortune; he dressed well, drove a smart turnout and entertained lavishly. H e was not identified with any particular business or profession. On leaving college he became interested in art. He frequented the Important a r t sales and soon got his name In the newspapers as an authority on art matters. His apartment w a s literally a museum of the apartments to greet Howard. She was a vivaciouB brunette of medium height, intelligent looking, with of European and oriental art. On alirg0 O <i features and fine teeth. It-was s i d e s . w e r e paintings by old-masters, beautiful rugs, priceless tapestries, rare ceramics, enamels, statuary, antique furniture, bronzes, etc. He passed for a man of wealth, and mothers with marriageable daughters, considering him an eligible young bachelor, hastened to invite him to their homes, none of them conscious of the danger of letting the wolf slip into the lambs' fold. What a strange power of fascination, mused Howard as the train jogged along, men of Underwood's bold and reckless type wield, especially over women. Their very daring and unscrupulousncss seems to render them more attractive. He himself at college had fallen entirely under the man's spell. There was no doubt that he was responsible for all his troubles. Underwood possessed the uncanny gift of being able to bend people to his will. What a fool he had made of him at the university!- He had been his evil genius, there was TYOquestion of that. But for meeting Underwood he might have applied himself to serious study, left the university with honors and be now a respectable member of the community w a s through Underwood t h a t . h e had met his wife. Some of the fellows hinted thaH, Underwood had known her more intimately than he had pretended and had only passed her on to him because he w a s tired of her. He had nailed that as a lie. Annie, he oofM swear, was as good a girl as ever breathed. He couldn't explain'Underwood's influence over him. He had done with reached the top floor a cheerful voice called out: "Is that you, Howard, dear?" CHAPTER IW The box-like hole w'nere Howard sat awaiting his meal was the largest room in a flat which boasted of 'live and b a t h " There was a 'jedroom of equally diminutive proportions and a parlor with wall paper so loud that it talked. There was scarcely enough room to swing a cat around. The thin walls were cracked, the rooms were carpetless. Yet it showed the care of a good housekeeper. Floors and windij.w.a.. were cleau, the cover on the table spotless. The furnishings were us meager as they wqsjp ingenious. With their slender purse they had been able to purchase only the bare necessities—a^ bed, a chair or two, a dining room. ta>le, a few kitchen utensils. When 'they wanted to sit in the parlor they had to carry a chair from the dining room; wtwii meal times came the chairs had to travel back again. A soap box turned upside tiown and neatly covered with chintz did duty as a dresser in the bedroom, and with a few photographs and tacks they had managed to impart an aesthetic appearance1 to the parlor. Thio place cost the huge sum of $25 a mouth. It might just ay v.'<:H have cost $100 for all Howard's ability' to pay it. The past month's rent was long overdue ami the janitor looked more insolent every day.* Hut they did not care. They were young and life was still before-theui. Presently Annie came in carry in:; a steaming dish of stew, which she laid en the table. As she helped Howard to a plate full she said: "So you had no luck again this morning?" Howard was too busy eating to answer. As he gulped down a huge piece of bread, he growled: "Nothing, as usual—same old story, nothing doing." Annie sighed. She had been given this answer so ofterv Uigfc it would have surprised her to hear anything else. It meant that- their—hard—ha*wW to-mouth struggle must go on." She said nothing. What was the use? It would never do to discourage Howard. She tried to make light of it. "Of course it isn't easy, I quite understand that. Never mind, dear. Something will turn up soon. Where did you go? Whom did you see? Why didn't y o u . l e t drink alone when you promised me you ; would?" "That was Coxe's fault," blurted out Howard, always ready to blame others for his own shortcomings. "You remember Coxe! He was- at Yale when I was. A big, fair fellow with blue eyes. He pulled stroke in the 'varsity bout race, you remember?" "I think I do," replied his wife, indifferently, as she helped him to more stew. "What did tie wnnt? Whnt'a he doing in New York?" "He's got a fine place in a broker'3 office in Wall street. I felt ashamed to let him are me low down like this. He said that I could make a good deal of money if only I had a little capital. He knows everything going on In Wall street. If I went in with him I'd be~o"TT"Easy street." "How much would It require?" "Two thousand dollars." Tho young wife gave a sigh as she answered: "I'm^ftiraid that's a day dream. Only your 1'athcr^iQlild give you such an amount and you^ wouldn't go to him, would you?" ^^--^^ "Not if we hadn'f. a n o t h f ^ c r u s t in the house,"'snapped Howard savagely. "Yon don't want lhe to, do ypu'.^ he asked looking up at her quickly, "No. dear," she answered calmly. "I have certainly no wish that you should humble yourself. At the same time I am not selfish chough to want to stand in the ,way of your future. Your father and stepmother hate me, I know thatr- I am the cause of your separation from your folks. No doubt your father would be very willing to help you if you would consent to leave me."u Howard laughed as he replied: "Well, If that's the price for the J $2,000 I guess I'll go without it. I wouldn't give you up for a million times $2,000!" Annie stretched her hand across I!

He remembered with a smile that it<» The young man made no reply. With an impatient gesture he passed on into the flat and flung himself down in a chair In the dining room. From the. adjoining kitchen came a welcome odor of cooking. "Dinner ready?" he demanded. "I'm devilish hungry." "Yes, de«r, Just a minute," replied not a doll fafe, but the face of a woman who had experienced early the hard knocks of the world, y e t in whom adversity had not succeeded in wholly subduing a naturally buoyant, amiable disposition. There was determination in the lines above her mouth. It w a s a face full of character, the face of a woman who by sheer dint of dogged perseverance might accomplish any task she cared to set herself. A smile of welcome gleamed in her eyes a s she inquired eagerly: "Well, dear, anything doing?" Howard shook his head for all respons$ and a look of disappointment crossed the : ng wife's face. "Say, that's tough, ain't it?" she exclaimed. "The Janitof was here again for the rent. He aays they'll serv* us with a dispossess. I told him to chase himself, I waa that mad." Annie's vocabulary was emphatic, rather than choice. Entirely without education, she made no pretense at being what she waa not and therein d o w n f 0 P a d e n t a l operation, took gas perhaps lay her chief charm. »A». . f t B d . _ d r i t B W d .

Practically all the important Infirmaries and hospitals in England have their own electric generating stations, and the size of the installations would surprise the majority of engineers. The equipment has to b * designed with y,nusual care, owing to the special conditions which prevail in hospital work. Even where a public supply Is available, the use of ha independent system is Justified on account of the security which it gives against failure of current at a critical moment. The installations are used for lighting, heating, ventilating, telephoning and other purposes, ;and many hospitals have laundries op-, erated electrically. One county asylum has its own private electric railway for conveying supplies from t h e nearest railway station. n " "" — — — The Duration of Dreams, Something regarding the duration of dreams can be gathered from this experience of a man who, on sitting his work, go to the club, leave for the station-, run for the train and miss it. He returned to bis club and 'reclined on a settee in the library. There he passed a miserable, restless night, getting gradually colder and colder at the fire died down, and with a pain gradually growing about his head and face from the hardness of his couch.

The Miser's Parrot i ^akeni from-the Arcbiwssvof BoWvants, Umhvd, the ^g reaiaet- inquiry «ad detec tire agency of modern 'tUnoa %y Flt£l>JHR*TCJ(. -REWALE lCopyrt#at,*Wa/*7*W.'U.Ck»jHB»H; | HE regular coVse of business one day brought the following peculiar letter to the London office of Bullivanta Limited. It shall serve to introduce one 'of the queerest cases which *M ttl*t inquiry agency ever undertook to elucidate: Tintagel Priory Near Penxance, Juno 29, W— Gentlemen: I have been advised to ad- -fltsaf you by the curate of this paria«, the Rev. Mr. Penmar, in the hope that you can help me unravel a very puzzling" myitery. My name U Muriel Pendragon, and 11 am the granddaughter of the late Mr. John Pendragon, who died six months ago. My grandfather was very eccentric, and although he waa always kind to me I cannot but admit that he was queer at times. By bur few immediate neighbors he wax accounted a mlBer—Just whv I have never been able to learn. We always had enough to live on, and" he sent me to good schools for some years after tny parents died. Since then I have kept house for him. One of grandfather's peculiarities consisted in an aversion to making" a will, although Mr.Penmar 'always" told him he should do BO. But he—my grandfather— would laugh and say there was plenty of time for that. Well, somehow I gained the idea that he was quite rich—not that I ever saw much money, but because whenever gold or silver was needed it waa sure to be forthcoming. Then, I Knew that he inherited several thousands of pounds from his father— which would- have come to my father had he lived. Well, last Christmas eve grandfather died in his sleep, and since then, although the house has been searched from attic to cellar, we can find neither papers nor any secret source of wealth. Mr. Penmar has inquired of the banks In Pensance, St. Ives and Falmouth, If grandfather had any moneys deposited, but the answer is no in every case. But atlil I am sure—and the popular belief bears me out in this—that poor grandfa.- ther was really a wealthy man. As I am his sole heir, and all alone in the world, you wilt see how deeply I am interested Keppel. You're young and enthusiastic— I won't say romantic—'but this 'is one of those matters where a man •of some imagination is needed. But don't let Miss—er—Miss Pendragon— fine old name that—twirl you round her finger. From what she says there will be little in the shape of lees for Bullivanta unless you locate the old miser's hoard—in which case we shall expect the usual percentage. Take your time, spare no expense, and report when you're ready. Nil desperanduni, remember." These concluding clauses embodied at^ once the usual instructions to Bullivants' men, and my own particular vade mecura. I bade Callister good morning, and went out to look up a convenient train via the London and Southwestern for Penzance, the nearest, station to Tintagel Prlo^. I arrived in England's most westerly town the next evening greatly exhilarated by the long ride which took me through the picturesque "West Countree,"—the land of Lorna Doon*. My inquiries at the inn elicited the fact that Tintagel Priory was midway between Penzance and Marazion, on the shores of Mount's bay. Next morning r set out on foot, the distance being some ten or twelve miles at most. As a lad I had devoured the page* of Kingsley's "Westward Ho," yet had never dared hope that I'd be fortunate enough to visit the scenes amid which 1U stirring adventures are laid. Consequently I fairly reveled in the glorious scenery of that shore road—winding over moor and g-len and chine, always within sight and sound of the Western ocean of Drake and Raleigh, and replete with legends of King Ar- Bxcept for a few sovereigns—less than •UO-there was nothing in sight after the funeral, and I have managed to live on that these last six months, I am sure there Is a dreadful mystery somewhere, end this is my reason for writing you, being Informed that you undertake to unravel family troubles like this. Perhaps- X ought to add that grandfather left in gay care a very old parrot, who talks in s> wdnderfully clever way. He (grandfather), always bade me to be, careful of ••Capt. Bob" (that's the parrot's name), and "always mind what the bird said." I know this must sound very silly to busy gentlemen In the city—but I can't help thinking that Capt. Bob knows a great deal. He certainly does talk very strange* ]y, but I can!t make head or tail of what he say*. Please pardon this long and rambling letter. X have told you but little after air, I And; but if what I have smtd prompts you to help me In any way, X shall forever be, -.* Gratefully yours, MURIEL* PENDRAGON. The then resident manager of Bulllf ants, In King William street, London, handed me the foregoing epistle wjth the quiszical worts: "What do you think of that, Keppel?" I was about the youngest member of the staff, and so perhaps the natural recipient of hopeless assignments; I read and re-read Miss Pendragon's artless letter under the runs of the manager's eyes, then made answer: 'Tin not saying much at this, distance, hut It strikes me there must have been something queer about old John Pendragon." "Queer!" exclaimed Callister, "I fancy youll discover something more Urin queer.1* , "Then*—" I was beginning, when he finished the sentence for me: »\ mean you to undertake the c a s t thur and his knights, of Tristan and Isolde, to say nothing of more modern freebooters and smugglers. For there is scarcely a headland or a-cove between Penzance and Falmouth, but has its weird tale of these gentry and their fights with the revenue men, while the cliffs are honeycombed with caves wherein the smugglers and the wreckers used to secrete their booty. However, by the time, I reached Tintagel Priory I was all alert for the business which brought me thither. The "priory" proved a hideous disappointment, for it was nothing more than a large, rambling old thatched cottage standing in a riot of roses and old-fashioned flowers. Whatever its ancient use, there was now no sign of church or abbey. In short, the name was a purely fanciful one. As I clicked the garden gate behind me a vision of girlish loveliness appeared at the single door of the house, framed in a border of pink blossoms! Passing up the pebbled path, hat in hand, I quickly made her out to be a girt of about 1», rather tall, with cheeks like' the palest of roses, a wealth of red-gold hair, and a pair of honest, earnest gray eyes. I presented my card, saying with my best bow: "Mr. Mason Keppel—from Bum- •ants. This, I presume, Is Miss Pendragon?" "Oh, then they received lsy-4etter! I was afraid they wouldn't botherr "On the contrary, Miss Pendragon, I am sent to be of the utmost serriee to you. Pray command me in any and e?ery way.". Although A s blushed very prettily there -was nothing of rustic shyness ha Iter manner. "Wont jwu come In?" she suggested. "Or would you rather sit out bene among the roses?" 3 voted tor the roses, and soon we were chatting like old friends. I gathered toy dint wf courteous questionings tfcat her grandfather was nearly »0 <wien fee died; that he had followed on adventurous career In his youth:; that he ttad undoubtedly "made money" tn those early days, and that his wealth had been augmented (a various ways; also that the countryside called him a "miser—-perhaps because be "held on to bis money. ATI ancient «rone whom Miss Pendragon called "Margery," set before us, on a rustic table, some luscious strawberries, cream and cakes—the like of whlcb 1 never tasted before, though, thank goodness. ! get them for seven months of the year nowadays. I was just about %o attack these delicacies Vben a roost infernal uproar anose from within the cottage— a loud, raucous voice proclaiming; something that sounded like: 'Dee Ess! Dee-Ess! Dec-Ess1: .Now listen'" Jollowed by a torrent of incoherent, yet evidently what was meant lor coherent speech, but of which I could make nothing, winding up with a thrjeked "three cheers lor the devil." The last at least, was distinct enough .„ Miss Pend"ragou fairly higgled— there is no other name lor the biueker of bubbling laughter that came from her lips, ab she gatped: 'That's Capt. HOU—the parrot, you know—of whom 1 wrote. That's the wafr he goes on ail the time, lie was grandfather's pet, ana they were almost cronies. Nobody knowa^how old he is—but grandfather, with almost his dying breath, charged me to be very careful of Capt. Bob, and always mind what he said. It sounds too stupid for anything—don't you think so, Mr. Keppel?" The girl's fresh loveliness and altogether artless manner had go bewitched me—I Vas rather young and Impressionable in those days—that lor the moment I lost my tongue. Then I remembered in time that I was at Tintagel Priory on business, and pulled myself together, answering with due gravity: "In my profession, Miss Pendragon, we learn never to scoff at trifles.

That's how it struck me when I pored over it half Yhe night at the Penzance Arms. Hut suddenly It flashed into my mind that the whole thjng was nothing more than a bit of cipher writing which needed only to be unlocked to be read the hidden meaning or message! Now, fortunately. I had dabbled a bit in cryptograms of various kinds, and knew what the most artful cipher can be deciphered if brie will be at sufficient pains. So I called for fresh candles and set to work anew. Perhaps it was the <x>nstant iteration of the words "rod"' and "black" which gave me the hint; however, I suddenly decided that a pack of counnon playing cards had been used in contriving the cipher. To this conclusion I was mateilaljj' helped by the opening exclamations of the parrot's speech: "Dee-Ess" thrice repeated. These, 1 guessed, stood for "diamonds" and "spades." After that the process was easy. I had read of "card ciphers"—where two suits of & pack oi cards are taken, 26 in all, one card standing tor each letter of the alphabet. The reader will see that this allows of infinite variety; the trick consists in finding out the particular sequence which has been adopted in arranging the cipher Hut already I had the two] suits, diamonds and spades to start on. So, to test the matter then and there, after one or two experiments, I made a tentative alphabet, as follows: per, and by one of those freakish mental pranks which the old sometimes indulge in, had worked out bis message and entrusted it to the parrot rather that make a will, fully believing that his granddaughter or some helper like myself w.ould succeed in unraveling the secret It is further my private belief that the old rascal had come by much of his money In questionable wayfi and was secretly afraid to publish the amount of his wealth by means of a written will or testament. However, my next step was manifestly to communicate my discovery to Muriel Pendragon—for although 1 had known her but two short days, al ready 1 had come to think or her by her pretty Christian name. My MrBt question after the usual polite greetings was: "Do you know of any locality near here called King Arthur's cave?" "Why, surely," she answered. 'Every Cornlsbrnan on Mount's bay epuld direct you. It's an old smugglers' refuge. Why do you ask, Mr. Kep polT' I parried this question by another. "Is it fa* from here?" "Yes, ami, uo," was the answer "Arthur's caves--t^ere are several of them, really—extend for miles under the cliffs. SoL.e of them can only be entered at low tide, but it so happens that there is an entrance to one of them from under our own kilt.inn floor by . means of a trap door. I've never been down, but I know it's there, because grandfather often used to take a lantern and disappear lor hours at a lime. Hut why--" Again I gave query for query." Would you trust me to go down— with a lantern, of course?" "Oh, you mustn't think of that—go ing alone, I mean! People have been lo:-:t and starved to death down there in former days There was a lovely concern in her voice which brought an altogether adorable color to the girl's cheeks. Then suddenly she exclaimed: "You're keeping something from me. Mr. Keppel! What is it? Have you discovered grandfather's secret?" Seeing no other way out of it I told her the truth and read the parrot's message as I had deciphered it. She listened wuh bated breath and palpitatlTf,' bosom. "Hut we mustn't be too sure," I continued. The whole .thing may be a hoax, you know." "Ah, but you didn't know poor 'old grandfather," she commented. "It was hi* forethought for me which caused him to take tnis roundabout way of concealing and then revealing his secret wealth." A. " _5 C JD E F G- "Certainly," she replied. "Come this way," leading me into a wide, low ceillnged and diamond latticed- chamber, which was at once dining room, living room, and the girl's sewing room. On a tall perch by the window ' strutted Capt. Bob—the most disreputable and battered gray parrot I ever saw. "Don't be surprised If he should I. swear," continued Miss Fendragon. ''Sometfmes, particulariy aTthe" sight of strangers, he goes on dreadfully." Scarcely were the words out of her pretty mouth than Capt. Bob did swear—a perfect torrent of "language" gathered from sailors' fo'c's'les, most of which was luckily beyond her comprehension. Then, without a break, he chanted the refrain I had already overheard: "Dee-Ess! Dee-Ess! Dee-Eas! Now listenI^-and then a string of gibberish, too rapid for analysis, growing ""faster and faster toward the end, and rising into avshriek. "Does the gentleman never vary his tune?" I inquired. "Never," was the answer, "Poor grandfather taught him every word— oh, I don't mean the bad words," she hastened to put in with a becoming blush—"but all that sing-song patter; for hours at a time grandfather used to keep Capt. Bob in bis room, going over and over that rigmarole until the bird got it by heart.1' While she was speaking I had been doing some thinking, and as a result said aloud: "That rigmarole, as you call it, Miss Pendragon, probably contains the clew to your grandfather's secret." She looked at me with wide-open eyes, aj&swerihg under her breath: "Do you really think so? Why?" "Because from what was outlined In your letter and from all that you have told me yourself, I infer that your respected relative had a secret which he was—pardon me—too timorous, or too cunning to put to paper, and s o he confided it to that clever bird. Of course, the bird might have died and carried the secret with him. That was a risk, certainly. Equally* of course, as It sounds It's all gibberish— not even an expert stenographer could take it down. But I know a way to get around that. If you'll excuse me I'll get back to Penssance and do a bit of telegraphing. But on your life, be very good to Capt Bob, tor I'm convinced he holds a valuable secret in that frauled nttle head of his." "When shall I sea you again?" she Inquired artlessly. "Oh, 111 run over to-morrow—to inquire after Capt. Bob/'I laughed as w* shook hands. I'm not vain, but I verily believe Mist Pendragon was loath to see me go—and who'd .blame her, living in that desolate corner of the realm? My errand to Penxance consisted in telegraphing to London for a firstclass phonograph—rush. As a result tha apparatus came down by the night train,* and was In my hands toon after breakfast next morning. Hiring a fly, I made all haste to reach Tintagel Priory, arriving there in time for Mother luncheon of strawberries and cream, and' cakes. But I lost no time In setting up tha phonograph, to bo in readiness for taking a record of Capt Bob's lucubrations. And, barring a H V N o P q R S ILL u *v <Vt*A% (LLI W iy**fe.<j X V . X - fijJLet P&JLIO &JL l(X Now, if the reader has followed me thus far' it will be seen that such words as "cue" and "jay" and "kay" being taken down phonetically, stood for Q equaling the queen; J equaling the jack; and K equaling the king, the color being givr*ji as a prefix—red or block for diamonds or spades. Also I found that the cipher depended on an alternation of the two colors, and that the word "double" was tiBed where' two similar letters followed each other, The early midsummer dawn was stealing through ray open windows ere I had unlocked the cipher, working now backwards, now forwards, and -with sundry checks. But finally I wa« able to interpret the parrot's message as follows: "Well, somebody must RO," I insisted. "The directions are plain enough. Give me a lantern and a supply of candles. I'll guarantee not to get lost," "No," she decided with blushing insistence. "You are doing this for me, Mr. Keppel; I will not hear of your running into danger on my account. We'll go together!" That suited me, for 1 didn't really take-any stock in the perils of King Arthur's cave. Where an old man of 80 could go, a youngster of six-andtwenty might surely venture. So we started by lifting a square of carpet in the old kitchen beneath which were revealed the outlined cracks of a trap door abouj. three feet by two.—T-feis we pried up by meanB of a pickax from the garden, and saw at our feet a narrow stairway of rude slabs.

But suddenly the celling rose sgaln, after going perhaps a hundred feet, and we fouad ourselves In another, though much smaller cave. "If this is gallery No. 2, we'll soon know the beat—or the worst," I ssdd with a chuckle. "Let's light the other lantern and seme candles/' This I did. sticking the tallow dips In the rocky crevices here and there, so that In Ave minutes we had a regular illumination. Then I consulted the cipher" nncp more, although I really kutjiv the ihiuK bv heart. "Look tor the Ugn of a crown. Miss Hendragon," I (ailed out. "You take that side; 111 take this." 9o pdund we went, scrutinizing every foot of the smooth rock, raising and lowering the lanterns at will. .:vi'c'enly her slender girlish treble : :: ng out; H e r e it is* I've found it!" 1 hurried to her Bide, and there, sure enough, breast high, was a rude (iritw'ing-of a five-pointed crown. '•'(><'or the mark,' it said," I quoted, S"Ming down on my hands and Unees Miss Pendragon did ftkewise and fheYe we were, our heads nearly touching, looking for we knew not what. Hut even as we knelt there the floor gave way, or rather the slab on which we knelt, tilted, one-half going into a cavity In the foor. the other rising fully two feet In air, •Til hold it!" i exclaimed, "while vou lower the lantern." It took both •uy hands to balance the huge 'flag. 'What do you see?" I inquired hoarsely. 'Why—-it's—just—full—of-^-money!" was the awed answer as the girl raised h^r startled eyes to mine. 1 was afilad she might faint, t h o u g h ! have ^ince been told that I was a goo?e to dream of such a thing, so 1 grave . at to a cackle of laughter, and cried out: "Three cheers for the par rot!" -.-.. This made her laugh and broke the tension. I let the stone fallback on its plvor, ;:nd after blowing out -the^ candles we made hand in hand for the trap-door, and the kitchen of Tintagel Priory. Well, my quest was ended—thanks to the baldheaded old gray parrot, you'll say—but at any rate it was I who unraveled the cipher. That night between dark and dawn, we removed all the treasure—it consisted entirely of gold guineas and sovereigns, and of silver coins, value about £20,006-^^8¾¾ ue.U day 1 helped Miss Pendragon deposit her fortune in the Falmouth bank. Of course Rullivants was pleased, and I received my meed of praise from headquarters, I trusf^-ith becoming •'modesty; ""'Hiit the story does Sot end here. Remembering the closing words of old John Pendrapon's queer cipher message: "Who finds keeps," it came about that I had found not only a very respectable monetary treasure, but one unspeakably greater. For six months later Miss Muriel Pandragon became Mrs. Ma^on Keppel. WINTER EGGS FROM HENS Farmer Wile's Method of Getting Plenty of Them in the Season of Cold Weather. V. C. Wile, a Montgomery county, Pennsylvania, poultryman, -lecturing on the timely subject of how to keep hens laying from the first of October until the last of February, said: "I am obtaining eggs from hens at this season of the year at a cost of only one cent per egg. For many persons, the cost is five cents to produce an ej;g in December. -'Now the secret lies in how to produce the greatest number'of eggs from the samfi number of hens. To Obtain that end, proper breeding,, feeding, housing and care are essential. The ration—f—ferd-'TB-y-taying hens and which costs me only five cents daily for 12 chickens, is choaen because of its ready assimilation, and consists of sprouted oats, beef scraps, cross-cut bones and a variety of wheat, barley,, corn and a little buckwheat. "! am very careful to keep the chicken house well ventilated and the floors littered with «!ean straw or leaves.

A great many people visit this place annually. It can be reached by two routes, the electric caTBj which run from Washington, or by boat. This last is a favorite way, as it giveB one a delightful trip on the Potomac. It is well to go one route and return the other, for in both Instances historic -ground Is traveled to the very gates of Mount Vernon—that spot fllled with sacred memories. , Mount Vernon at first view presents a noble appearance. It stands on a hill 150 feet in height and the first glimpse reveals the h o n e which one recognizes Instantly. As the steamer nears t$e landing place and passes the tornb of Washington flags are lowered at half-mast and the bfcll is tolled, a custom said to have originated wjhen a commodore of the British navy-, as a iriark of respect, ordered his ship's bell. tolled wpen he passed Mount Vernon. J A world of history lies In this spot. Mount "Vjfrnon as it stands today embraces but 237 acres, afftmall part of the original estate which, by grant of Iaord Culpeper in 1074, became the property of/ John Washington. From John Washington hilf of the estate descended to Lawrence Washington and it was he who built the house and named It Mount Vernon in honor of Lord Vernon, the British admiral under whom he had sensed. Later the property fell to Cteorg* Washington, who purchased adjoining land. In 1799, when George Washington died, the property passed ae a life interest to his wife and later BuBhrod Washington, Jphn Augustine Washington and John A. Washington, Jr., followed in succession as owners of Mount Vernon. In 1855 the \owner, though possessed of a'JaTge estate hallowed by sacred memories and associations. felt be « t f unable to maintain it, as it was not productive of material benefits. Botft the national government and the state of Virginia were approaXhed in regard to purchasing it. Finally through an agitation started by Ann Pamela Cunningham the Mount Vernon Ladles' association of the U s i e o wa» organised and 200 acres- of the V e r m e*tate\ including -the tomb, manfilon, attendant buildings ami wharf, were purchased for $200,000. The approach * is through a. gateway to an attractive green, which extends to the mansion. To the left and right are flower and kitchen gardens and many old trees, which were planted by Washington and his guests. One in particular is a large magnolia, which was set oat by Washington in 1799, the year in which he died. George Washington enlarged tti<T origi- .. -nal villa, built by Lawrence Washington, by increasing, its length and height, completing its improvements in 1786. Its foundation walls are of stone and brick, the framework oak and the sheathing pine, painted and stained to resemble stone. The roof is of cypress shingles and a spaclous and well-drained cellar underlies the whole house. This Is Mount Vernon and the large brass knocker on the central door of the west front indicates that this was the usual point of approach to the mansion. Nearby is the sun dial in the center of a spacious court, flarfked by several frame buildings consisting of kitchen and offices, which are joined to the main buildings by, colonnades. When tbe threshold is crossed what mingled feetingB of awe and respect fill the heart! How the thoughts fly as the relics displayed in the different rooms are viewed! Several of the states have restored the various rooms at their own expense and many objects of the past greet the visitor. Here is the key to the Ba&tile, the prison so famous during the French revolution. Lafayette presented this to Washington in-1789 an a "trophy of the spoils of despotism." There is the music room with the harpsichord which George Washington presented to Nellie Custis as a wedding present. In the room is the original Chippendale sideboard and the iron fireback brought to this country by Lord Fairfax, friend of Washington. Every room in the o*ld mansion contains something of historical interest, but visitors are naturally drawn to the room in which Washington died. Here is the big four-posted bed upon which he lay when death overtook him. The quaint canopy and fixings of the bed have*been restored and some of Washington's personal effects add' much to the impressiveness of the spot. Among these are his military chest and camp equipment. The family kitchen, with its quaint colored dishes, iron kettles and swinging cranes, is a point of interest, while the smoke house nearby, larder and spring house show that many guests were fed and much material prepared to clothe the' slaved and provide for the general use of the family. Each Is fitted up in the style of the time in which Washington lived. Among all the charms of the home of Washington not one can eclipse the ideal flower garden, with its box hedges indelibly marking the walks and flower beds as in the past. Quests of distinction were mvlted -to—plant tret;H, shrubs ' and gjpwers, mementoes of their visits. La.fa.VUlte"and Jefferson have leafy monuments here, and* the roses named by Washington fcr his mother and others named for him and Nellie Custis still flourish. At the end of the long walk in the garden is the livtle schoolhouse in which the Custis children were taug.ht, The oldest building is the barn, erected in 17,1.1 by George Washington's father. The English brick are laid in strong mortar made of oyster shell lime, and he^re were kept the coach and saddle horses.- The white chariot, as the traveling coach was called, was kept in a carriage house nearby. South of the mansion on a brow of the hill overlooking the Potomac is the summer house. It contains a beautiful view of the river and its deep cellar was once used as an ice he-use.. Nearby Is the deer paddock, which has been stocked with Virginia deer. Though a tour of inspection develops historical attractions at every turn, the chief point of interest on the grounds is the new tomb of Washington, which stands several yards distant from the old mausoleum that once held the ashes of the Washington family. It is beautifully located in a clump of trees and flowering plants and vines surround it on all sides. This simple yet eloquent statement marks its importance. It was planned by George Washington and built by his executors. Within the iron portals one may see the catafalque that contains the remains of Washington and the sarcophagus that holds the body-of his wife. In the rear of the tomb is anCirhn door that opens into the receptacle that contains the the remains of others of the Washington family, The iron grating that closes the outside\entrance has been heightened, for at one time a vandal attempted to climb over it. The gite Is locketrTaWTtrekey is said to have been burled in the Potomac To the memory of Bushrod Washington and John Augustine Washington, successors to the general, marble stafts were erected in front of the tomb. An old negro stands near at hand and for many years has discoursed to visitors on the spot and Its surroundings^ The -simplicity of ~the~~ tomb Ts characteristic of the man and those that gaze upon the resting place of the great hero instinctively speak In whispers an'd are awed by the memories associated with the place. One is bewitched and enthralled with the place and lingers long on this spot, where reposes that which is mortal of him who was as brave a warrior, as stanch a patriot and as able a statesman as ever lived.

The Shire horse is essentially the English farmer's own. Across the border the Clydesdale holds sway. It is flattering to the English breeder to know that America and Canada are now taking more Shires than they have ever done before. England today is being constantly scoured by American buyers for the right kind of Shire horses. The English Shire horse has improved vastly of recent years, in uniformity of type,, in feet, action and has vastly better pasterns and quality of hair and bone. The farmer's brood mare—the -rent payer—is a real feminine type, namely, neither of the gelding or the stallion appearance. She is always mated to a stallion of great masculinity, possessing good, wide, strong feet, and is naturally a free mover, with flat, sou-nd bone, of strong consittution and as big as possible. In the large studs the greatest care is taken over the matter of suitable stallions selected. Very few traveling stallions are to be found without a veterinary surgeon's certificate of soundness. '-li anything, some of the Tarmers who have found breeding a rapid means of acquiring wealth, are in- HORSESHOEING IS SCIENCE clined to get quality at the expense of weight and substance. Shows are the best advertisement that fthe English tenant-farmer has for getting rid of h l i wares to the landlord or the rich breeder. Shows in an English summer are as plentiful as sparrows. They are held upon the slightest provocation, where two or three horse breeders are gathered together. One of the most gratifying features of the Shire horse breeding in the old country, is that tiie rich man settles in the locality, or suddenly becomes prominent as a breeder of first-class animals. He spends no end of money on buying and maturing. These often fall into the hands of the farmer cheaply, and very often the farmer-sells back their offspring at considerable prices. Shire service is cheap In England, when one considers the enormous outlay of some of the breeders, and the No M a n I s F u l l y E q u i p p e d , f o r T e a k U n l e s s H e U n d e r s t a n d s A n o t o m y of A n i m a l ' s F o o t - A d v a n c e B e i n g M a d e . tenant farmer, or the~"Tirmet—wJicse_ land is only rented, has all the benefits of his rich proprietor's patronage. The old country may have oldfashioned ways, but the farmer knows when he is well off and he knows that to raise Shire horses successfully is to have a bank balance and to have no haunting fears from a disastrous season. the hnrse in such a way that thjf evils arising from these defects will be lessened or overcome entirely. 4 HEREDITY can Be Overcome in Cases, The influence of heredity cannot, of course, be successfully, disputed, but it can be minimized or entirely overcome in same cases by correct foodand drink. A Conn, lady says: "For years while I was a coffee drinker I suffered from bilious atta<$ e~ of great severity, from which I used to (JgaeTge- as whtjp as a-ghost and very weak. Our family physician gave me various prescriptions for improving the digestion and stimulating the liver, which I tried faithfully but without perceptible result. "He was acquainted with my family history for several generations back, and once when I visited him he said: 'IfL-yott .have 4nborlted -one- -of- ' t h o s e torpid livers you may always suffer more or less from its inaction. We can't dodge our inheritance, you know.' "I was not so strong a believer in heredity a s he was, however, and, beginning to think for myself, I concluded to stop drinking coffee, and see what effect that would have. X feared it would be a severe trial to give it up, but when I took Postum' and had it well made, It completely filled my seed for a hot beverage and I grewvery fond of it. 1 have used Postum for three years, using,.no medicine. During all that time I have had absolutely none of the bilious-attacks that I used to suffer from, and I have been entirely free from the pain and debilitating effects that used to result from them. "The change. 1* .surely very great, a n d I a m . compelled to give Postnfh t b e * e * e l w ! t e credit for lt.M.

Formerly the ordinary blacksmith, who knew very little about the underlying principles that should- govern horse shoeing, was called upoirto-shoe horses. As a result very much of the work done was inferior and such work re-acted in many instances against the usefulness of the horse that was thus shod. The advance that has been made in this branch of blacksmithing during recent years, has been very great. The work of shoeing horses is so variable in its requirements that no small degree of skill is required on the part of those engaged in the business. It would perhaps be correct to say that no horse shoer is fully equipped for his wdrk who does "not understand considerable about the anatomy of the horse's foot. He should also be able to detect defects in the animal's locomotion and should know how to shoe Neighborhood Exchanges. The difficulty of exchanging tools and labor with neighbors is in the personality. Some men will expect to use borrbwed tools all through the favorable weather and then return i them in a damaged condition too late to be of much use to the owner. In borrowing labor this kind of neighbor will work the hired man half to death and then in returning the labor spend half his time telling stories. In exchanging labor or anything else pick out a farmer who will practice the golden rule. New Mint Region. Peppermint growers of New York and Michigan .will meet competition from the reclaimed lands of Louisiana. A distillation plant is also in operation. A party of expert agriculturists recently inspecting the region were convinced that the crop can be'grown in- limited quantities at a good profit. Peppermint oil was imported into the United States during the fiscal year to the extent of 1,238 pounds, worth $6,416, while the exports of American peppermint oil amounted to 161,811 pounds, worth $288,318.

Even the Bank of England has not been entirely free from runs nor from the necessity of saving itself by strategy, In 1745, for instance, it was forced to employ agents to present notes, which were paid as slowly as possible in sixpences, the cash being immediately brought in by another^ door and paid in again, while,anxious holders of notes vainly tried to secure attention. In 1825, too, only the accidental discovery f of 700,000 £ 1 notea saved the bank from stopping payment.—London Chronicle. As a Reminder.

It-first came when she was between three and four weeks old, appearing on her head. I used everything imaginable and had one> doctor's bill after another, but nothing cured it. Then the eczema broke out so badly behind her ear that I really lliuuglii-libT oar wuuld cuuie off. Fof months I doctored i,t but to no avail. Then it began at her nose and her eyes were nothing but sores. I had to keep her in a dark room for two weeks. The doctor did no good, so I stopped him coming "For about two weeks I had used Cutlcura Soap for her every day, then I got a box of Cfiticura Ointment and began to use that. In a week there was a marked improvement. In all I used two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment and my baby was cured of the sores. This was last November; now her hair is growing out nicely and she has not a scar on her, I can not praise Cutlcura enough, I can take my child anywhere and people are amazed to see her without a sore, From the time she was four weeks old until she was three years she was never without the terrible eruption, but now, thanks to Cuticura, I have a well child."
