AHDBKWI, Pah. yiNCKNEY, .-::•- MICHIGAB The Teacher's Privilege. What nobler profession can there VJ t!ua that of passing ou to younger fiiuoan livings the best there is in ua? (i is rather a strange contradiction that while education is highly valued In our country, teaching ou the whole has teas honor than It deserves. "It la a pity that, commonly, more taro is had, yea, and that among very wise men, to rind put rather a cunning man for their horse than a cunning man for their children." Wo do not pay our teachers enough for our own good, since a liberal salary attracts talent uot only in itself hut.because It is a symbol of success. Half a million Americans are now engaged in doing what they enn with 20,000,000 younger minds. Surely no half luillion Americans are employed in more important work, "teach self-denlsi," said Walter Scott (and something might be Bald of other virtues) 'and make its practice pleasurable, and you create for the world a destiny more sublime Chan ever issued 1mm the brain of the wildest dreamer," Teach Anything that is good, remarks Collier's, and you touch the depth*. The ablest and truest men aad women are acquired,— those vha know life and are not pedants, act machines with notions of suggestion no ^higher, than the ferule and the copybook. The teacher works with living minds and hearts and souls. Ou no man or woman rests a bigber or more inspiring task. I had a better team. The way ia which the Quakers tore through the Michigan line, both on offeuse and defense, has convinced the Wolverines that their team of 1906 was really inferior to that of Pennsylvania. But that doesn't prevert Ute rooters believing that, nad Penu tackled Michigan two or ^three yeara *!l?o the result would have been far different. Endowed Theater for Masse*. 1« it *6 be believed that- out of our rich, refined, play-lovirlg' population there are not to be found those with sufficient enthusiasm or aelf-sacrifico to raise whatever money is necessary to establish at least one ideal experimental theater, with a sixpenny gallery and a shilling pit, all places to be reserved, and with free performances at least once a week, Where the best works of the best dramatists of the world could be played by a company whose primary object was not to serve as advertisements for the dressmaker, or be mere incidents in the scenic splendors of the carpenter's art? What is wanted is faith, and after faith organization. Even in this day of doubt and unbelief the <shurcb.es can. find faith enough to create organisations which raise any amount of cash, says W. T. Stead in World To-Day. I am loath to believe that the theater-going^ptibHc is such a -godless, reckless, worthless set of selfish loons that it is impossible to raise out of their midst a fellowship of stalwart workers and liberal givers who will begin the democratic regeneration of the theater.

The counsel have completed that duty, and the report of their investigation has received careful consideration by the president and his cabinet." The, attorney-general then gives at length the allegations made in the petition, including statements that the Standard and its various corporation* control about M per cent of the refined oil manufactured in the United States; that this has been brought about by a course of action beginning about 1870; that the desigp throughout has been to suppress competition; that of the original menlbers of the combine the following are still surviving: John D. Rockefeller, Win. Rockefeller, Henry H. Rogers, Henry Nf. Flagler, John D. Archbold, Oliver H. Payne and Charles M. Pratt; that the purpose of the Standard Oil Co., of New Jersey, as * holding corporation, as "well as the previous alleged combinations, is to suppress competition. Mr..

Whajt the Petition Alleges. it is alleged-jn .the. ,pettyioa,>fthat John D. Rockefeller aad^.ht3 associates, the other individual defendants, formed a conspiracy to monopolise the commerce in .petroleum and its products at an early date—^about the year 1870—and that the name ihdividuals have control red the'dbmbfruftlon rtiiring-aJVthese^ oafs, in all its forms, and now control'it. It was* therefore, deemed wise to state in the petition i he complete history and growth of this conspiracy. History of the Conspiracy. The petition is logically divided into three periods. During the first one of these periods, from 1870 to 1882, the combination assumed the form of a simple conapiracyr-rthat is to say, the defendants, with the Standard Oil company of Ohio, acted together to suppress competition and control the oil business. During the second period, from 1882 to 1899, the combination assumed the form of a trust agreement, whereby about 40 separate corporations engaged In the same business, turned over the management of their business to nine trusteed, of which tlvaae individual defendants were the majority, so . that these defendants cont rottetf »Uv of -tfcase 'corpetaaeaa.., In If arch, 1892, the supreme court of Ohio declared rhiB trust agreement void and - ordered• Its dissolution. Thereupon, ion March' $1, 1802, the trust certificate holders met In New urk and resolved to dissolve the trust and appointed John I>. Rockefeller, Henry M. Flagler, William kockefeller, John D Archbold; Benjamin Brewster, Henry H. Rogers, Wesley H.t TiUord and O. B. Jennings a s nt&ftdttJng trustees—the individual ts being a majority of these of the Standard Oil company^erNew Jersey from $10^00,006 to $110,000,- 000, and made It the' holding corporation and placed the control through stock ownership of all the corporations previously held by the trusts into the said company, and exchanged its stock for the stock so acquired, share for share, issuing therefor $97,- 250,000 par value—the exact amount of the trust certificates previously issued by the trustees. The stock of this company was increased by a small amount, and is now $98,338,300. Some Standard Oil Methods. The petition then shows the methods employed by the Standard Oil company to monopolize the oil business. These include discriminating contracts with the railroad companies, manipulation of rates, local price cutting, boguu independent companies, etc. .<.*> The bill sets up among others a contract' between the Standard OH company and the Tidewater Pipo company whereby the Tidewater companies are l i m i t e d ' t o 11½ per cent of certain business' in Pennsylvania and N e w York, and the Standard Oil company to receive 88½ per cent of the, business, the Standard Oil company guaranteeing the Tidewater company $500,- 000 per annum profits, thereby eliminating all competition between them. The bill alleges a contract made with the Pennsylvania railroad company in 1884, which w a s in existence until 190(3, by which the Standard Oil company was able to maintain the public charges for transporting crude oil from western Pennsylvania at 40 and 43 cents.a barrel to Philadelphia nnd New York respectively. The Standard Oil company* through its own bip# 'lfhes. transported the oil for e*iglit';.cents a barrel. tending from Kansas to the seaboard; also pipe lines in r /exas and in California; that they own a large number of tank cars and steamships engaged in transporting oil; and that the said defendants have, through the instrumentality of the Standard Oil company of Now Jersey ( a holding corporation), eliminated competition between all of the separate corporations and monopolized the commerce in oil in the United States. Control the Pipe Lines. It is alleged that the Standard OH company has had control of the carrying business by pipe lines in and from all the oil producing regions of the United States except Texas, Louisiana and California; that they charged excessive and unreasonable rates, and rates which were discriminatory in favor of the Standard Oil company; that they have refused t o furnish equal facilities for receiving and delivering oil of independent shippers and refiners; that they have refused to transport oil belonging t o other-i than the defendants and their associated companies, and since the month of August, 1906, have refused to transport oil of others except in such lurse quantities a s to completely prevent hide* l>endent producers and refiners of oil from using their service, and that they liave forced 16 independent refiners now doing busiuess in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and producing their crude oil through the Standard Oil company's pipe lines, to sell all of their export oil to the Standard Oil company, thereby eliminating their competition. This contract was .procured through threats of the Standard Oil company t o reduce the amount of crude oil which it would sell to the independent refiners. Enjoy Preferential Rates. It i s alleged that one of the principal instrumentalities through which the defendants have been enabled to monopolize the commerce in petroleum and its products throughout the United States has been a system of preferential' rates, and rates discrimi' natory against t h e competitors of the Standard Oil company, both in-open and published tariffs and ,hy and through secret and tnfpsbttshed rates, both interstate and intrastate, and by rebates,, * ^ e & f o n i d " a d d preference? Ranted ftpjphe' Stalwart)' Oil company and. its Subsidiary corporations. The bill goes into the details of many of thesp rates, and shows a systematic discrimination, substantially all over the United States, so that rates from Standard shipping points are much lower, for the same distance proportionately' and per ton per mile, than from shipping points of independent competing concerns. These differences in most instances amount to more than a reasonable profit upon the oil. ' Some 8am pie Discriminations. The regular published rate from Whiting, Ind., t o Evansville, Ind., through Illinois, for instance, was 11 cents per hundred pounds. Most of the oil shipped by the Standard company was shipped a t 8¾ cents and 6 cents per hundred pounds. T h e Standard had a rate from Whiting, Ind.; co Grand Junction. Tenn., of 13 cents per hundred pounds, and large quantities of oil were distributed from Grand Juncti'M ill over this southern territory on secret rates which never were published, as required by law, or filed with the Interstate commerce commission. The petition alleges that for about ton years prior to 190G secret and unpublished rates were made from Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, of 6, 6¼ and 0½ cents on ,the various railroads, which oil was destined to St. Ixniis and to a large territory south and southwest of those points, while the regular published rate was IS cents per hundred jiounds.

The petition then recites the Standard trust's monopoly of the sale of lubricating oils to railroads, its unfair methods of competHion in the cutting of local prices, the formation of bogus Independent companies, the payment of rebates on oil prices, and the divi*; "ion of territory. Tells of Stupendous Profits. It la alleged that by reason of itsmonopoly the Standard Oil company has made enormous and unreasonable profits on, t h e actual value of its property;, ^hat the trustees' valuation of, all the property and stocks placed in their hands in 1882 w a s 155,710,6^8.24.

I had several doctors attending me, s o finally I went t o t h e hospital where I was laid up for two m o n t h s . My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was to disheartened that I thought surely my last chance was slowly leaving me. As the foot did not Improve, you can readily imagine, how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. X stood this pain, which w a s dreadful, for six months, and daring this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Cuticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends w h o was a di-usgist, -and the praise that I gave alter the second application i s beyond description; it seemed a miracle- for the Cuticura Remedies took effect immediately. I washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before applyin* the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the'cure, can hardly believe their own eyes. Robert Schoenbauor. Xevvhiirg, Nr.

"It is the Abrus precatorlus, alias paternoster pea, alias weather plant. John ISowack" took out the patent The weather plant Is still oelleved by inauy persons to foiotrii tfie weather. John Nowack was sure ii did so, and he put tt on the inarke: along with an Indicating apparatus, guaranteeing It to foretell for forty eight hours in advance and for fifty uiileH around, fog, rain, snow, hail, earthquake and depressions likely to cause explosions of fire damp. Alas Tor poor Nowack! The experts of the bureau of u«ri<*ulturo took up liis pat ented plant. They proved that the movements of the leaves—to the' right foretelling rain, to the left foretelling drought-were not caused by the weather, but by the light And they i proved thni ilx' plant's famous* down ward movement, which was supposed to foretell earthquake, was caused by an insect that punctured the stem, causing the leaf, naturally, to droop. That is the only patented plant I know of, and Nowack lost money on It." "ALL DEALERS."

This is done by Hin doos ;is a work of merit and by Mo hawmedans after certain rites have been performed as an atonement, in imitation of the Jewish scapegoat. It is essential that a bird used* for this purpose should be strong enough to fly away; but that does not induce the cruel dealers to feed the birds^ or to refraiu from dislocating their wings or breaking their legs. They put down everything to good or bad luck, and leave the customer to choose :i strong bird, If ho can find one, and to go away if he cannot. The merit obtained by setting a bird free is not attributed to Deity, but it is supposed to come in a large measure from the bird itself or from its attendaut spirit, and hence birds of good or bad omen, and especially kftes and crows, are in much demand and are regularly caught to be sold for tlijs purpose. ;SLL mmi WITH EASE ALL PARTICLES OF D I R T AND Piles quickly and positively cared with Dr. Shoop.s Ma^io Ointment.

Buckley went In for this class of literature. For twenty years Dwight peddled bis original performances among publishers, only to be laughed at. Then he tried his hand at the commonplace. But somehow he couldn't make his characters talk quite like real horse jockeys and housemaids and athletes, and his efforts in this direction were also a failure.

Finding that something must be done to lift him out of the slough of despond, she took one of his old manuscripts to her aunt, a rich old lady with a kindly heart, with whom she conspired to make her lover believe that she had found a publisher for the story. Then she went back to the invalid with the welcome news. Dwight got better, but soon began to worry about the delay In the publication. So the aunt furnished a few hundred dollars for the "plates'* and a few printed copies. Then Grace succeeded by giving a third rate publisher the printing job in getting his "imprint" On the title page and thus found a 'distributer. The day Dwight saw his book In print he sat up for the first time in six months. But be at once began to worry about the criticisms. Bo his devoted sweetheart, aided by her aunt, ordered a hundred copies printed find sent them to the critics. But those who noticed the book at all either dismissed it with contempt or made fun of it. Grace was in despair. As eftclt new criticism appeared she looked anxiously for something that she could show the sick man. At last her eye Ut on the following: The author of "The Tair House on the Low Hill" has struck a new vein of humor. Indeed, It Is a creatiqn, but It will be long: before It will be appreciated by the reading public, for one who steps tato untrodden paths, whether ft be literature, science or art, must wait until bis audience's eyesight becomes accustomed to the new light. As soon as Grace saw this comment she hurried with it to her lover. She found him in despair.- He had surreptitiously sent out to a collector of newspaper clippings for criticisms, and, excepting the one Grace bore, they were all before him. She read the favorable words to him with as triumphant an air as she could assume. That criticism was the turning point with the patient- The'one medicine he needed had been found. In V*hundred critics there was but one whose analytic brain, or power of appreciation or discrimination, had enabled him to strike the keynote of its real value. Dwight got out of bed and took personal charge of pushing his book. But the unwelcome fact mentioned by his critic that he must wait for an audience proved to be true. 'The Tall House on the Low Hill" was pronounced the work of a lunatic by most readers, though a few "caught on" to its subtle humor. The encomiums of these were a source of wonder to the many, and disputes as to what the author meant grew more and more frequent Nevertheless the book WSB a financial failure. But Dwight had several such performances in his attic and persuaded the publisher who had kindly lent hfti imprint to the first to undertake a second at his own expense. Dwight did not know that Grace Baxter's aunt had sent the firm a check for $500 to cover the risk. The second book, "Mr. Barnickel,** captured the few persons who had seen the drift of the first and a great many more. But people who appreciated neither of them wondered that any pub- Usher could be found to publish such rot. Meanwhile the audience was widening. In "Mr* BarnlokeT was a small profit to author and publisher. ^Dwight continued to brush the dust from his manuscripts, nnfl under such slight encouragement to wrlt<» others.

There are still living many of tho argonauts of 1840, men who braved every danger to reach the gold fields of California. Six months used to b*~- a iiroJ time limit for the trip to San Frtiacisco. Now jt is only 71 hours. Yet we must, not f.ovoet that it was the njen of courage and persistence who made the six months' trip that eventually bnlH the ror,:' tb:U makes a tour to Califcm!.-: a mere phv^sure trip lnst-ead of thr event of a lifetime. To understand war, says the author of "A People at School," Is an instinct To illustrate the aphorism, he tejls a story of an English general whose understanding of sounds was phenomenal. One uight, he says, after dinner they were «11 sitting talking at headquarter*. They were ex* pectinK ap attack, and sentries and pickets were posted far out beyond the stockade. Suddenly we hea^d one shot; of course, every one jumped up. The bugles sounded; the men fell in; the officers ran to their posts. Gen. Symons alone had not moved. After lis* teuing intently for a moment or two, he had sat down again. I myself was between two minds, whether to go out wrth one of the parties hastily assembling outside, or to stay with the general. So I stood irresolutely by the door. "You can sit down," said Symons; "it is nothing. A sentry has let off his rifle by accident. That is all." So it proved. While he was leaning upon his rifle it had gone off, and so had his fingers.—Youth's Companion.

Domestic Dialogue Which Betrays Laxity on Both Sides of the House. "What did you do with my pocket knife when you ' finished' using it? i asked a young man of his wife as they stepped from a street car returning from Swope park yesterday. A look of consternation spread over the wife's face as she replied: "Oh! I'm so awfully sorry. I left It sticking in the tree after we ate our luncheon. We were in such a hurry to catch a car, you know." "You probably hold the record for absent-mindedness," retorted the half angry husband. Just then she caught him wiping the perspiration from bis brow with a paper oapkin which he had placed in his pocket instead of his handkerchief. He had left the handkercief lying on the grass.

Hunting for stilt-marks on old China Is often good fun in itself. Almost every old piece of flatware—1. e., plates, platters, saucers, etc.—shows three Mttle rough spots, more or lets clearly marked on both sides, usually In the margin. Theee spots were made in the firing, by the cockspur or stilts —little tripods used between the plates in piling them up in the kiln. The three points where the cockspur touched the plate caused a defect In the glase. Unfortunately, stilt-marks are not as sure a guarantee of authenticity at some collectors have supposed, for they are not only easy to imitate, but they are sometimes Imperceptible on the old Staffordshire. Furthermore, they appear very frequently on modern tableware of the cheaper sort, and so are no sign of antiquity.—- Country Life in America. Believes fn the Newspaper*. ~1 believe in the newspaper," said Mr. Alexander, the singing evangelist "To Illuatrato their carrying power, let me tell a story: MA newspaper, published la England, one day carried In Its columns a sermon by the ' He Rev. Charles H. Spurgeom. That newspaper found lis way to Australia, and eventually wae part of a bundle that was thrown under the counter of a store to wrap up paokages with. In course of time It waa reached and inclosed some arUeles thai were sent to the house of a moat ungodly man. He unwrapped the goods, and as he did so the heading of the sermon struck his eye. The man read It, became thoughtful, read It again. It convinced him, and he became an earnest and devout Christian." Treatment of Modern Bullet Wounds. A most interesting and far-reaching experiment on a large scale was performed at the battlefield of Mukden, says the Post-Graduate. Several sanitary officers with good surgical training being present, out of 100 soldiers wounded in the abdomen, 50 were operated upon by laparotomy, the 50 others left alone, the only treatment consisting in absolute rest and in keeping the external wound opening Mean Of the 50 soldiers operated upon 40 died, of the ncn-operated 40 survived. This striking reeult Indicated the manner of treatment of abdominal wounds throughout the whole war. Laparotomy on or in the rear of the battleneld was afterward hardly ever performed, but strict care was taken that all soldiers wounded In the abdomen had absolute rest for the first three days. Korean Omen of Good Fortune. The Koreans are greatly exercised over the appearance of a bamboo tree through the cracks of the floor last occupied by the late Gen. Mln Yong Whan. Since the suicide of the general m November last the room has been fcept closed, and when the room w i s opened two days ago the bamboo had already attained the heigftt of more than four feet. The Koreans find a parallel In this phenomenon In an event that occurred In Songde 600 years ago, when a patriot defending the emperor waa done to death on a stone bridge Just outside the city. Sereral mouths after his death a bamboo sprouted up between the stones on the vert spot where the ^ patriot had breathed his last.—South China Post. COUNTY OK LIVIN-QSTON, \ I, Willis L.

J _ J - J - 0 - g What Americans Like to Read. Notwithstanding that the realistic novel flada warm defenders like Mr. Mangasarian, Americans as a rule do not find pleasure in it During the past 20 years many such navels have been published here, but who «an remember one that h*s achieved great popular success, enduring and growing into permanent demand? "The Jungle" attracted a great deal of attention for a brief period, but to-day, only a few months after its appearance, it -is dead and buried. Zola's novels, perhaps the strongest of that school, have never had much vogue in this country. George Moore is almost unheard of on this side of the Atlantic. Frank Morris* books had a brief season of notice, but it is safe to say that nobody ever read any of them a second time. The novels that have the largest sale, in this country, like those which have* the most faithful clientele, are romances of adventure, says the Chicago Journal. Even such stones as those of George Barr McCutcheon find readers in plenty, ignoring their lack of literary form for the sake of the incident. It is perhaps not altogether true that this state of affairs is a good one, or that American literary taste is sound. But the fact remains that the people at large have no use for realism, in the sense that it is a faithful report of the sadness of life or its horrors. Americans prefer to have their leisure time filled with tales of romance and adventure, stirring their blood to quicker flowing and exciting their fancy to broader range. That is a good sign, so far as their moral health is concerned. When the realistic novel becomes popular we may expect to find that a great change has taken place in the people, a change that makes them pessimistic and disheartened. But who could be pessimistic or disheartened with the conntry more prosperous than any other land has ever been since the dawn of history?

The criminal industry of holding up and robbing railroad trains has languished of late, but an instance is reported from Gallup, N. M., where the robbers secured several hundred dollars from passengers. This Is small business compared with the daring deeds of the past, when the brigaud3 have often made off with the contents of an express car, sometimes running up into the thousands of dollars. But train-robbing has become perilous since the companies have taken vigorous steps to prevent. On some lines there is a well-organzed staff, every person being a dead shot and a skilled rough rider, kept ready to start in instant pursuit of a band of robbers, and generally the miscreants are caught. The practical certainty of adequate punishment robs the business of its old-time charm and romance. In the 8how*Bus|ness. It seems strange and not altogether pleasing, that the United States government, as represented in the navy department, should be obliged to go into the show business to encourage enlistments, comments the Youth's Companion. The latest and most successful scheme is the movingpicture machine which shows the life of the bluejacket on shipboard, and come of it on land. The advertising value of the plan lies in the readiness ftnd completeness by which it enables the recruiting officers to giye applicants an accurate idea of their duties and pleasures. It is especially efficacious rn the west, where less is known about life at sea. A recruiting party in Nebraska lately displayed the moving pictures to a crowd of 15,000 people. arrived at her home no one was there, and he drove on to the Grange hall, where he learned the girl and hei mother were attending a supper.

The New York Central was recently found guilty of giving rebates to the American Sugar Refining Co. and fined $108,000. ' Joseph H. Choate, former ambassador to Great Britain, in his argument for the defense, declared that there was no precedent in American law for such an enormous fine as the statute against rebating provided. It was necessary, he added, to go back several centuries in English law to find an instance $n which a penalty amounting to more than $100,000 had been imposed. Mr. Choate and Former Justice Alton B. Parker, for the Americau Sugar Refining Co., and United States District Attorney H. L. Stimson for tht government, who appeared as counsel in the case, argued along the same lines as they did in the New York Central rebate hearings. The defense offered no testimony. After Judge Holt's charge the Jury took the case and In accordance with the instructions of the court, returned a verdict of guilty. The jury was out an hour and a half. CRAPfrBY IS A KS^ETXC.

Michigan beet sugar manufacturers are at their wits' end to discover some tactful and inoffensive method of head* lng off dishonest beet raisers, who are beating, too factories out of much money every day. The method must be tactful, fox, most of the factories Will have a hard Job to get all the acreage they need, and drastic measures would drive numerous beet rait* ers out of business. The manufacturers do not say that all beet raisers, or any considerable per cent are dishonest; but they do say that the problem created by the crooked ones is large enough to both* er. It is the custom at all factories to take a sample of a bushel or a half bushel of beets from o&cb wagonload which arrives, and from the per cent of sugar and of tare shown by the test of this quantity the price for the whole wagonload is determined. It is' asserted that some beet growers beat the iae* tory by keeping a quantity of very well cleaned beets about their feoy and when the basket is put upon their load it is these beets, with little if any tare upon them, that go iato-it. A more clever way of trimming up the purchaser is to dry a quantity of ueeta artificially. Thisjeaves as much sugar as ever, but. cuts down the weight, because of the absence of moisture, so that the farmer gets a much higher rating than that to which he is entitled; Of course, not all the beets which go into the test basket are dried, but a good share of them are, making a difference of from 50 cents to %2 a ton.

MISSING TOT DISCOVERED PLAYINtt WITH CUBS. CUES WHEN TAKEN AWAY Little Margaret Schweitzer, of Brockway, Minn., So Welt Cared for That 8he Wants to Go Back to Homo of "Doggies." Minneapolis, Minn.—It Is only great good fortune that has saved tiny Margaret Scbweittser, of Brockway township, Minn., from becoming a veritable wolf-child. "~ "The child bears a charmed life!" aver the township wise folk, with many a shake of the head, "or else how could she be kidnaped by a wolf without being torn to pieces?" Little Margaret is but a baby girl of four. Her father is a well-to-do farmer. There Is another little brother and a Bister, both older. A few days ago the three youngsters went out nutting in the deep woods a couple of miles away from home. Somehow Baby Margaret became separated from her brother and sister, and when it was time to go home the tot was missin?. The other youngsters searched everywhere, but in vain. So home they ran, crying as if their hearts would break. Schweitzer jumped on his horse and galloped back to the woods where, the nuts we/e, but, high or low, he could find no trace of the child. Then he went fur help. Soon a party of 20 men and boys were scouring tht woods for the missing child. But no track or trace of her could with his finger on the- trigger, eropt in cautiously. It was almost dark inside; at first he could see nothing. But gradually his eyes became used to the gloom, and there, sitting on a rock, petting a young wolf, sat the missing little Margaret, absolutely unharmed and as happy as you please! Off scampered the young wolf, with its three mates, at the sight of the man, and little Margaret began to cry. " Oo Tightened away my nice 'ittle doggies!" she sobbed. " 'Oo is a they find. All that night the hunt M a r g a r e t S a t m the Wolfe Den, Uncontinued, but the break of daybrought no tidings. Far and near spread the word of little Margaret's strange disappearance, and the searching party kept growing larger and larger, as people from further away came in. On the second day one of the searchers came to a knoll thickly studded with pine and a heavy growth of underbrush. He discovered a narrow path leading into the thicket^ and I des' eated the nuts and the big doggie tiss me and keep me nice an' warm. But the naughty man came and Tightened the nice little doggies harmed and Happy. naughty man; Margy don't like 'oo. Go away!" . But the yonug farmer snatched up the child and backed out of the place just as quickly as he could. He didn't quite fancy facing the she-wolf in those narrow quarters. And then back to the Schweitzer farm Just as fast as his legs could carry him. News of the finding of little Marthere by the path he found—a little j garet spread rapidly all over the townblue sunbonnet. ship, and soon the farm house was It was a hard path to follow, and overrun with sympathetic visitors, the man had to get down on all-fours•!

As he neared the top he was much surprised and horror stricken to see his calf calmly chewing the stick of dynamite, and he hurried forward, shouting and waving his arms in a •frantic effort to drive it away. But it suddenly got away without any coaxing or driving, for the dynamite—and calf, too—exploded with a deafening roar, heard at the farm house a mile and a half away. it had chewed the dynamite cap with the rest of its strange meal, and the explosion followed. ^ Mr. Tatman, who was only a few feet away from the well when the explosion occurred, was knocked back into it by the terrific force and badly hurt. The well was 12 feet deep, but no bones were broken in the fall. The hired man escaped from the premature explosion and also from the fall of his employer. He at once secured help and assisted Mr. Tatman from the well, who, upon examination, was found to be seriously hurt internally. He will probably recover. Bruin Chases Negro Steward.

Oyer all the temperate regions th* hyt weather has passed and the fir*t rigors of winter have appeared. As the great bulk of civilised nations is located in the Temperate Zones, the effect of changing seasons is a question of the highest importance. When theweathe r b e g i n s t o change from warm to cold, when cool nights succeed hot nights, when clear, cold days follow hot, sultry days, the human body must adjust itself to this changed condition or perish. The perspiration incident to warm weather has been checked. This detains within the system poisonous materials which have heretofore found escape through the perspiration. Moat of the poisonous materials retained in the system by the checked perspiration find their way out of the body, if at all, through the kidneys. This throws upon the kidneys extra labor. They become charged and everloaded with the poisonous excretory materials. This has a tendency to in* flame the kidneys, producing functional diseases of the kidneys and some* times Bright's Disease. Peruna acts upon the skin by stimu- 'ating the emunctory glands and ducts, thus preventing the detention of poisonous materials which should pass out. ^eruna invigorates the kidneys and encourages them to fulfill their function in spite of the chills and discouragements of cold weather. Peruna is a combination o f well-tried harm- 1 e s s remedies that have stood the test of time. Many of these remedies have been used by doctors and by the people in Europe and America for a hundred years. Peruna has been used by Dr. Hartman in his private practice for many years with notable results. Its efllcacy has been proven by decades of use by thousands of people, and has been substantiated over and over by many thousands of homes. Pe-nt-nols eWoHeV Re sowed R e ov edy For CH««t»c Diseases.

While we have not suffered that way it has been "Hopkins choice" as there has been but one or two kinds on band. The Scarcity of cars and the "claimed" ina bility to handle, are jfiven as the cause of the scarcity of coal. Our dealers have had orders accepted for several weeks but the coal fails to materialize. Some coal has already been taken from private bins to supply present needs. A lady who understands advertisements says: "No lady wishes to be looked upon as a shopping fiend; She does not care to go in to a store and have a merchant show all bis stock in order to find out whether be keeps what she wishes to purchase and wiiether the article is_soi4_aj. a price she can afford. It is much easier and pleasanter to look through the advertisements of a paper than it is to bore the clerks and waste ber own time. Next to th } local news items the advertisements in a paper stating articles for sale with prices, will keep much of the money that goes to the large cit ies, at home."

On one occasion, after twelve^ Cubans, had held a sugar house against ninety Devils for two days and were still having the best of it, Captain Christo came, forward under a flag of truce and asked for their surrender. They might march out with their guns and their flag, and, on the sacred honor of a Spanish soldier and a gentleman, they should not be fired on. The Cubans distrusted him, but they had ammunition for only one more day, and it was finally determined to accept the terms. Christo had posted his men in ambush, and when the Cubans appeared all but one were shot down. Three or four leaders like Christo, working Into the Jungle with small forces at their backs, might have finally wrecked the Cuban cause, but there were no others to follow in his bloody footsteps. thirsted for revenge. After many plans to capture him had been laid and failed an American eoldier of fortune serving with die Cubans as a sergeant came forward. This majn, who was about thirty years old, was known only as Hiues., He save no information about himself, and as he was a fighter no questions were asked. He asked for tour tried men to go with him, and he took men whose courage he had seen tested. During an afternoon they marched nine miles to the house of u peon friendly to the cause. He informed them that Christo's Devils were only a mile away on an abandoned sugar plantatio'n. He had visited them that morning to carry in provisions. In marching through the Jungles three or four days before most of the men had been poisoned by a vine like our Ivy. The peon said that fully thirty men were blinded with poison, and of the other sixty many could not handle their muskets for their swollen hands. The native had understood that Captain Christo was to ride back? to the Spanish lines next day. but this might or might not be so. He had seen the eaptaln and had been questioned by him, and lie reported the officer In sullen spirits. The rebels passed the plan tation that night and went Into ambush on the road beyond. It was taking a chance. If Spanish troops came up they would be cutoff; If Captain Christo rode for the lines they hoped to capture him. They were in luck. At 0 o'clock next morning the captain, attended only by an orderly, made his appearance. His horse was shot from under him and his orderly killed, and the next minute the leader of the Devils was a prisoner.

Not one of the five spoke to the captain. He first tried bluff nud threats. He would, he declared, be recaptured within the hour, and he promised that every one of the five should roast before a slow fire. With his arms tied behind his back and a guard on each side of him he was hustled into the jungle and not a word uttered In reply. After half an hour passed the captain resorted to promises. If they would let him go he would pay each one a hundred dollars. He finally raised his offer to a thousand dollars apiece. On top or that he would agree to resign his commission and go home to Spain. Still n\> reply. Coming to the cabin of a man who could be trusted, he was sen! to the Cuban camp after a re-enforcement of thirty men. While waiting for^ the arrival of this force the captain was tied and gagged and thrust down cellar. When the thirty men had come up Hines led the way to the sugar plantation and fell upon the Devils and almost made a wipe-out. Only ten escaped. Wben Captain Christo had been safely landed Iu the Cuban camp he was Informed of the slaughter. He could not doubt it, for the men around him were laden with the spoils of the Spanish camp. He was also told that he must die within an hour. They would not torture him, but he should die by the rope. The man grew white as death and trembled llko one with a chill.

LOWMAN. (Copyright, IMs/by Joseph H. Bowles.) Kent Trevor came round the corher of the house whistling hfs latest acquisition'in "ragtime, " a fishing rod pn his shoulder, a tin can of 'bait" |n his band. He stopped expectantly at the back plasca steps, but seeing %o one, called: "Mother!" "Yes, Kent in just a minute," came a voice front the kitchen; and fa about that time the owner of the voice, a sweet faced woman with a firm mouth, appeared. "1 thought you were out here, mother, I only wanted to tell you that I would not be home to dinner, as John and I are going over to the Blue Pond. But you may expect a flye^pound trout for supper." (^His mother smiled. Kissing his hand to her he resumed his whistling and set off with a sturdy stride across the fields to meet his chum. Pride and affection showing plainly in her countenance, his inoth'r watched him out of sight. As he left the fields and entered the road he was joined by his friend, John Fenton, a*boy of his own age, whose face lacked the strength that was the predominant characteristic of Kent's, but had far more claim to beauty. They reached Blue Pond, a famous fishing place, in good time and proceeded to the business of the day. . "1 was just thinking, Kent," said John, "of the contrast between to-day and yesterday: T©*ray we are a couple of idle vagabonds, apparently absorbed in thoughts of angle worms and roach, with a possible trout later on "as a lure; yesterday," and he threw out his chest and spoke In as deep a basa as he could compass, "yesterday, we stood in the classic halls of Senoia high school'and orated (at least you did) and received the plaudits of ihe admiring multitude, and incidentally our diplomas and the congratulations o f our friends on'being first and second honcr men. Wa> yesterday a reality and to-day a dream, or vice- versa?" Kent laughed, -albeit a little soberly. • • » "To me they arc both realities and both a little saddening. It is n* light matter to leave your childish days behind you and. find yourself confronted with the great problem, What *te my life to be? or rather, What aft I to make of my life? for after ail, we choose what it is to be. Hate you thought that to-day is probably the last we Will spend together in tne old careless fashion? What are youigoing to do now that you have graduated from the high.school?" "Father says I am to help him in the store 4or^ie*b~yeaBS, withJa final view to partnership I suppose, as 1 am the only boy in the family. What are your plans?" "I am going to college." ^P-h-e-w! I thought it was just ail.jiour mother cbuid do to keep you in the high school until you graduated, and now you announce in" coolest manner and as a matter of course that you are going to college." much amused, while Kent's Jaw; looked square and determined; but (here seemed to be an excellent understanding between them, for the judge clapped Kent on the shoulder and said: "You'll do, Kent I hope your plan wiy succeed. U certainly deserves success." "Thank you!" Kent quietly responded. "I am sure it wilt succeed if I am allowed to put It to the test" When Kent returned 4o> his home he was observed by his mother to be very busy with his tools under the woodshed, and afterwards spend several hours each day la a small but secluded piece of woods back of the house. In a short time, ~ through Judge Dent's Influence, the position of mall carrier was secured to Kent Trevor. Not only had John Fenton been exercised In mind as to the manner in which the mail would go to and from Chetney, but the entire village speculated upou the probability of Kent's doing this or that; but all agreed on one thing, tbat^lf Kent Trevor said he would take the mail back and forth he would do so, even If he had to crawl. •At length the day came when he was to make his fiiat trip. His appearance in the village as he called at Mounted on S t i l t * of Great Height. the post office for his mail bag was the signal for such a shout as bad not been heard iu the rather sedate village <of Senoia for many a day. ''Where did you get your seven league ^boots?"

"No, no; he's going to sweep the "Not ono boy out of a thousand has the pluck and determination to do a thing like that Mark mo, we will bear.from him yet in a way to make us proud of aim." Kent's arrival in Chetney caused little less commotion then his' de parture from Senoia* JedtfTfeDent was on hand to meet hint and pper the delivery of the mall inslelad£ppou taking him home with biav ag., a< wanted a talk~ with him, i After dinner as they stood oaj the shaded veranda he pwtaia<eat*d7oa the. boy's shoulder juid^aald: - "Ken*, my boy, I am proud of-you J ^*To» hare this day proven that now and henceforth you are the master and) not the slave of circumstance. It required no little moral courage to do the thing yon have accomplished. Moat boys would rather face a loaded gun than the ridicule you encountered to-day." "And I am no exception, sir; but I was determined to face it even aa 1 wot.M a loaded gun, and the anticipation was far worse than the reality. There was plenty of ridicule, bet It was the good-natured article." "You have not yet told me hoar you ever came to think of such a thing." , "I was reading lately of how the Scottish shepherds used enormous tall' stilts In tending their flocks, both for the convenience of seeing a? great distance and of getting over ground at a rapid rate. I then remembered that I was tbe champion stilt-walker among the boys of our village a few years ago, and as I had In view applying for the position that,you have since so kindly secured for me, it occurred to me that if the practical use of stilts were feasible in Scotland it was equally so in America. The more I thought of it the more practical the idea seemed to me, and I determined to carry it out if I should be made carrier. I had to put In a good bit of practice to perfect myself sufficiently to undertake it, but I think I succeeded fairly, for I made the distance here to-day to marvellously short time." "Well, I admire your grR. Now there is another matter I want settte- i." Aa'i before Kent left Chetney it was arranged that on the days he brought the mail to Chetney he j should remain with Judge Dent as long &s possible, studying under his guidance to fit himself for the junior class in college. For a whole year Kent went beck and forth on bis stilts wiUflhe mail, and so well did be apply himself to his studies under the direction ,, of Judge Dent that he easily entered the junior class, where he soon became a favorite witb even as in the old days at SenoU high school. pjeoefuja ar • wraae)re» •• Betting fa neither so genera! apr sv promlacueae aa it WM 110 yeaaf^|pa> when hooka for recording wagelh efijp always kept on the tables far frequented coffee houses of Sense of tbeee books are still .te found among coflectfcme of aattqueav and they roake iQttrectiaa needinaV All manner of beta era entered there, on marriages, births and deatbe, oa the duration of a minlajry, oa Ike length off the Uvea of prominent pes* soiutges, ea the peeslbtrlty eT earth, even ec The Original Porous Planter.

But Kent laughed with the rest, tossed saucy replies to those-who addressed him i and stalked on the even tenor of his way.

Wheeler Saw the Point. Charles Nutting, an old inhabitant of Jeffrey, N. H., but long since dead, once went into the saloon kept by Henry Wheeler, better known as "Hen" Wheeler, in Rindge. "Hen" had once kept a tavern in Jaffrey, and of course was acquainted with Mr. putting.

The doctor $ot the man's address, and, since his wife was doing none too well, wrote out a message giving him the news and telling him to return. "The doctor gave the message to the cook, who couldn't read. She forgot to send it, and the next day t^e drummer came home of his own accord. "He stayed a day or two, found hit wife doing all right, and set out on his rounds again.

Vanderbilt Popular with Comrades. Cornelius Vanderbilt is slowly but surely earning his way to the front in the national guard of New York. In 1901 he was elected a second lieutenant in (he Twelfth regiment and is now senior first lieutenant in the organisation. He has been detailed to the captaincy of one of the companies and will soon become a regular captain. The members of the regiment show no jealousy orw this promotion, as they say it waa earned by good work as a soldier. A DOCTOR'S TRIALS. He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other People. Even doing good to people is hard work if you have too much of it to do. No one knows this better than the hard-working, conscientious family doctor. He has troubles of hia own— often gets caught in the rain or snow, or loses so much sleep he sometimes gets out of sorts. An overworked Ohio doctor tells his experience: "About three years ago as the result of doing two men's work,, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better" than a physical wreck. "I suffered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appetite, bloating and pain after. meals, lots of memory and lack of nerve force for continued mental application. "I became irritable, easily angered and'despondent without cause. The Saw .Chance For Busti Captain Homer W.

As the plante which are combined with the figs in the manufacture of Syrup of Figs are known to physicians to act most beneficially upon the system, the remedy has met with, tlieir general approval as a family laxative, a fact well worth considering in making purchases. It is because of the fact that S Y R U P O F F I G S is a. remedy of known quality and excellence, and approved by physicians that has led to its use by so many millions of well informed peopie, who would not use any remedy of uncertain quality or inferior reputation. Every family should have a bottje of the genuine on hand at all times, to use when a laxative remedy is required. Please to* remember that the genuine Syrup of Figs is for sale in bottles of one size only, by all reputable druggists, and that full name of the company--California Fig Syrop Co., is plainly printedea the**rent of every package.

Fat of course la fuel for running the body machine. Thus tt will be seen that eggs, though half or nearly half water, are extremely nutritious, containing all the elementa required for the building and support of the human body.

John Spencer of Duluth has brought back wlt'u him from Ceylon one of the most curious presents.In the world. "Riding on an elephant," he said the other day, "behind a native prince on a hunting expedition, the conversation chanced to turn on Indigestion, to which I said I was subject The prince at once pulled out a black leather button kind of thing, which he was wearing oh a string round his neck, under his clothes. 'What's that?' said I. 'A hyena's snout,' was the startling reply. 'What for?* 'To cure indigestion/ 'How can it do this?' 'It is very simple. A hyena gets its living by digging up ani crunching old bones. Now, It possesses in its.snout this peculiar virtue, that when its nose approaches anything hard, such as bones, those tough substances instantly grow soft, and enable the animal to eat them with comfort and benefit. So you will find it' you keep this charm hanging round your neck the proximity of the hyena's nose, though dried up and lifeless, will soften your food, however indigestible, to such an extent that you win never again suffer from indigestion.'

There could be, we gratefully believe, no more sterling proof of opportunity and of character in America than these self-supporting youths now give.

David Knox, of Manistee, has been appointed by Gov. Warner judge of probate of Schoolcraft county to fill a vacancy. Orson A. Butt*, a New Haven farmer, was fatally shot by accident while hunting ducks. Prof. Taggart, aged 65, a phrenologist and seller of patent medicine, was run down and killed by a train near Boone. While hunting partridges, Edgar Bsown, turfman of Thunder Bay island, was badly wounded. His home is in Grindstone City. Edward Foust, of Ann Arbor, a farm hand, lies unconscious with a scalp wound as the result of being kicked by a colt, and may die. Mike Mittle, a Muskegon Heights Hungarian, was brutally beaten with an iron pipe at a dance Wednesday night. His alleged assaulters have left town. An Injunction has stopped the "St. Joseph of the Maumee drain" and more litigation is in sight, after a year in court. The drain runs into Ohio. Hunters brought into Calumet the largest moose ever seen tu that region. Eighteen bullets were in its body. Horns measured 57¼ inches across. , At the remarkable age of 101 years, ! Mrs. Roxanna Powell, better known a3 I Grandma Powell, died at the home of I her daughter, Mrs. L. R. Maynard, clipping he preserved telling of a house | l n i s morning. in Rochester, N.

Manesbach, who shot and kilted himself in the home of his sweetheart, Mary Meier, March 11, 1905, and whose will leaving all to her is being contested in a Detroit court, was read to the jury. It is a remarkable record of a mind brooding on fancied wrongs and the strange fate that had driven other "Natives to suicide. Manesbach had formerly been in the smelting and refining business, and expresses Ue greatest bitterness toward his former partner, saying he hopes he may be tortured with red hot irons arrd that his family may be killed. The fact that his brother-in-luw hanged himself seems to have haunted him and his morbid interest in horrifying tragedies is evidenced by n PREJUDICE BOMBA6TES FURI080 TILLMAN DELIVER* A TIRADE ON THE "NIGGER." »t tea "I had the experience of suicide," he writes, "and 1 know how many are driven to their doom. My advice to the law is to hold anyone who has committed suicide and investigate it and find out the cause.' Oh, would to God that someone had taken me fro n my folks when 1 was a little boy, a year old, I would have lived a happy life. My father poisoned himself a year ago at the market." The gruesome record ends thus, sprawled in big, ungainly letters over the page. "Forgive me, Mary, and give this book to a police officer. Have my head cut open and see what my brains are like. I leave everything to my Mary, whom I wanted to marry." An ambassador of a well-known European monarch was riding in the Btreets of Constantinople when one of the sultan's carriages rolled by. Seeing it was guarded, his curiosity got the better of him, and when the carriage reached him he was daring enough to peep in at the passenger. He was surprised and pained to receive a blow in the face from an attendant in charge." Mad with rage, he demanded audience of the sultan. The sultan listened attentively, and for a moment appeared lost in thought. At last he spoke: "My dear , I have gone carefully into the case, and see exactly how it stands. You are, of course, a gentleman, therefore' you would never have committed such a breach of good manners as you allege to have taken place. Therefore no attendant could possibly have struck you. The whole affair seems to be a product of your fancy. Let us dismiss it." An engineer from Sunderland r , a s spending a few days ID Tx>ndon with a friend, and after a busy morning sightseeing the Londoner chose a large restaurant for luncheon, thinking it would be a novel experience for the man from the north. The visitor appeared to ©njey his luncheon, but kept looking in the direction of the door, "What are you watching?" asked his friend, rather annoyed. "Well," was the quiet reply, "A*B keepin' an eye on ma topsaid the other, "you don't see me watching mine." "No," observed the guileless engineer, "thee hag no call to—it's ten minutes sin' thine went." Hog Works, Grand Rapids citizens were given a surprise when they learned of what their new "sanitary reduction plant" consists. It is nothing less than a big hog farm, just outside the city limits, where the council Is powerless to control the ocL:s that may be wafted into the city. Alvah W. Brown, a former president of the board of police commissioners, recently secured a three-year contract from the city for the disposal of city garbage. It was intimated that a reduction works would be built tV.ere. Later it was told that the garbage would be shipped to French Landing, near Detroit, to be reduced with the garbage from that city. The garbage is being reduced by 70 hogs on a farm in Paris township. in a Calumet hospital for three years with a broken back, shows signs of recovering and hopes are entertained for him. He was injured in a mine. Louis Weasels, of Flint, while working in a pipe works at Ballard, Wash., ; was struck and fatally injured in the , head by a pipe from a machine. He ! had been married only a few days. I A Tower housewife, Mrs. John Beri nard, found a pearl In an oyster she ! purchased in a local/market.

I The Michigan Forestry association will probably ask the legislature, to : abolish the homestead law, place a j minimum price of $5 an acre on state land and provide an effective fire warden system. Miss Emma Butrlck, one of the triplet daughters of J. S. Butrick, of Adrian, was married Thanksgiving day to John A. Bailey, of Tipton. Her triplet sisters, Elsie and Edith, were her bridesmaids. While three workmen were engaged on the steel 36mestack of the Strable Manufacturing Co., in Saginaw, a high wind caflsed a guy rope to part.

CHICAGO PEAKED A RICT Audience Become Wild Over the Lurid Word Picture* and Picturesque Pre- Canity. Senator Tillman, of Soutb Carolina, addressed a most frenzied appeal to race prejudice to 3,000 men and women in Chicago Tuesday night, painting in terrifying perspective the Bpcnter of "black supremacy" and punching hard and straight at everybody and everything that has to do with the colored race. So hot was his talk that a riot seemed imminent on several occasions and once was narrowly averted. Tillman wased furious several times over interruptions from the few negroes present. "To h—1 with the law." he yelled. while all but a handful of his 3,000 listeners cheered madly. "Shut' your mouth," he shouted at one man who asked a question. • One time, when denouncing the pureblooded Afro-Americans, a man near the front said, with a laugh: "We haven't that kind of blacks here." ' T w haven't?" rang out the shrill voice of the senator. "Look down that aisle. There's a nigger as black as the ace of spades." The man pointed to by the senator was a pronounced type of the negro. The audience, angered at the interruptions that came from a negro in the gallery, made a demonstration. It howled and yelled and demanded so loudly that the disturber be put out that the speaker could not proceed. The demonstration continued fully two minutes and two plain clothes policemen who sat near the offender arrested the negro. Excitement waB at high pitch and it seemed likely that an attempt would be made to do the Interrupter bodily injury. After telling in detail how the negro Is prevented from casting his ballot in the south, Senator Tillman said: "There le a great deal more to this question than the little racket here In Cbicago." A voice: "How about the negro judge?" Chicago elected a negro to the bench a few weeks ago, but he was counted o u t Senator Ttibrian: *We", I will tell you about your negro judges and about your political machines putting him on your ticket and bainboozling"; those poor Ignorant baboons in eloctingnlm, and then afterwards you fellows who voted the ticket^ without knowing what was on it, find a way to cheat him out of it:" "God Almighty made the Caucasian of better clay than the Mongolian or the African or any other race.

Yet this people has been picked out by the fanatics pif the north and lifted up to the equality of citizenship Und to the rights of suffrage. No doubt many of you have listened to the oratory of the greatest colored man of this country— Hooker T. Washington. He had a white father, however, and his bralus ancl his character he has inherited from that father." In conclusion Senator Tillman said: "Now, as a general illustration of the injustice that is sometimes done.

The story is told that the girls, aged about 12 years, entered tho school bouse woodshed, which servod as a lodge room. The boys attached ropes to their feet and slipped the ends over a beam. The girls hung suspended like Thanksgiving turkeys. "Their screams brousht the teacher, William Baldridge, and the girls were released. Baldridge threatened the boys with arrest for their prank, and they ran away from home. It develops that they visited the jail in Caro and asked to be shown through it. Since then they have not been seen. A canvas just completed shows 524 houses were erected in Kalamazoo the past year, a total for the past three years o* nearly 2,500.

CHAPTER 11. Pe'r (OopTrigbt, MOS, by Lothrop Pablinhln* Co.) CHAPTER 1. V > •••iwK' •W» The Dead City. The city without life1 lay handsomely along a river in the early sunlight of a September morning. Death had seemingly not been long upon it, nor had it made any scar. No breach or rent or disorder or sign of violence could be seen. The long, shaded streets breathed the still airs of utter peace and quiet. From the half-circle around which the broad river bent its moody current, the nea£ houses, set in cool, green gardens, were terraced up the high hill, and from the summit of this a stately marble temple, glittering of newness, towered far above them in placid benediction. From a skiff in mid-river, a young man rowing toward the dead city rested on his oars and looked over his shoulder to the temple on the hilltop. Lauding presently at the wharf, he was stunned by the hush of % the streets. This was not like the city of 20,000 people he had left three months before. In blank bewilderment he stood, turning to each quarter for some solution of the mystery. Perceiving at length that there was really no life either way along the river, he started wonderingly up a street that led from the waterside—a street which, when he had last walked it, was quickening with the ruah of a mighty commerce. Soon his expression of wonder was darkened by a shade of anxiety. There was an unnerving quality in the trance-like stillness; and the mystery of it pricked him to forebodings. He was now passing empty workshops, hesitating at door after door with evermounting alarm. Then he began to call, but the sound of his voice served only to aggravate the silence. Growing bolder, he tried some of the doors and found them to yield, letting him into a kind of smothered, troubled quietness even more oppressive than that outside. He passed an empty ropewalk, the hemp strewn untidily about, as if the workers h£4 -Hett hurriedly. He peered curiously at idle looms ttnd deserted spinningwheels— deserted apparently but the Instant before he came. It seemed as If the people were fled maliciously just in front, to leave him in this fearful lest of all solitudes. He wondered if he 'did not hear their quick, furtive steps, and see the vanishing shadows of them. At last, half-way up the next block, he thought his eyes caught-for a short half-second the mere thin shadow of a skulking figure. It had seemed to pass through a grape arbour that all but shielded from the street a house slightly more pretentious than Us neighbors. He ran toward the spot, calling as he went. But when he had vaulted over the low fence, run across the garden and around the end of the arbor, dense with the green leaves and clusters of purple grapes, the space in front of the house was bare. IT more than a trick-phantom of his eye had been there, it had vanished. Ho stepped, inside and called. There was no answer, but above his head a board creaked. He started up the stairs in front of him, and, as he did so, he seemed to hear cautious steps across a bare flpor above. He stopped climbing; the steps ceased. He started op, and the steps came again. He knew now they came from a room at the head of the stairs. He bounded up the remaining steps and pushed open — t h e de#r With a loud 'Halloo*-' • % /The *eom was ampiy. Vet across it there was the indefinable trail of a N .presence—an odor, a vibration, he anew not what—and where a bar of •uaUgfc* cwi the gloom under a halfteisstiwtaitela, he saw the motes in the at* *P astir. Opposite the door • e 1*4 qssmed was another, leading, tlppajsjMV, to a room at the back of „ ' ^ ^ ^sss^^^psj* ? *." Determined to be no longer eluded, l e crossed the room on tiptoe and gently tried (he opposite 4oor. It was locked.

It flew open with a breaking sound, and, The Wild Ram of the Mountains. Slight though his figure was, it was lithe and active and well-muscled, and he knew as they struggled that his assailant was possessed of no greater advantage than had lain in his point of attack. In strength, apparently, they were well matched. Twice they rolled over on the carpeted f/jor, and then, despite the big, bony hands pressing about his throat, he turned his burden under him, and all but loosened the killing clutch. This brought them close to the window, hut again he was swiftly drawn underneath. As the light flooded in, he saw the truth, even before his now panting and sneezing antagonist did. Releasing the pressure from his throat with a sudden access of strength born of the new knowledge, he managed to gasp, though thickly and with pain, as they still strove: «• "Seth Wright—wait—let go—wait, Seth—I'm Joel—Joel Rae!" > He managed it with* difficulty. face scowling. He turned upon his questioner. "Does my fury swell up in me? No wonder! And you hain't guessed why? Well, them pitiful remnant of Saints, the sick, the old, the poor, waltln' to be helped yender to winterquarters, has been throwed out into that there slough acrost the river, six hundred and forty of 'em.

Anyway, they signed. The terms wasn't reely set till Thursday morning, but we knew they would be, and so all Wednesday night we was movin' acrost the river, and it kept up all next day—day before yesterday.

I'm .a-pantln' like a tuckered hound—athlnkln' he was a cussed mllishy mobocrat come to spoil his household!" The younger man was now able to speak, albeit his breathing was still heavy and the marks of the struggle plain upon him. "What does it mean, • Brother Wright—all this? Where are the Saints we left here—why is the city 4eserted—and why this—this?" "Thought you was a mllishy man, I te.U you, from the careless way you hollered—one of Brockmap's devils come back a-snoopin', and I didn't crave trouble, but when I saw the Lord appeared to reely want me, to cope with the powers of darkness, why, I/jlst gritted into you for the consolation of Israel.

My sakes! but I did want to run some bullets and fill my old horn with powder for the consolation of Israel! They're lyin' out over there in the slough now, as many as ain't gone to glory. It made me jest plumb murderous!" The younger man uttered, a sharp cry of anguish. "What, oh, what has been our sin, that we must be proved again? Why have we got to be chastened?'' "Then Brockman's force marched in Thursday, afternoon, and hell was let loose. His devils have plundered the town, thrown out the bedridden that jest couldn't move, thrown their goods after 'em, burned, murdered, tore up.

The Lute of the Holy Ghost got too rambunctious back in the States on the subject of our wrongs. And so they called you back from yotxr mission?" "They said I must learn to school myself; that I might hurt the cause by my ill-tempered zeal—and yet I brought in many—" "I don't blame you. I got in trouble the first and only mission I went on, and the first time I preached, at that. When I said, *Jc«eph was ordained by Peter, James aud John,' a drunken wag in the audience got up and called me a damned liar. I started for him. I never reached him, but I reached the end of my mission right theia. The Twelve decided I was useWiier here at home. They said I hadn't got enough of the Lord's humility for outside work. That was why they put me at the head of—that little organization I wanted you to * join last spring. And it's dou£wgood work, too. You'll join now fast enough, I guess. You begin to see the heed of such doin's. I can give you the oath any time." "No, Bishop, I didn't mean that kind of resistance. It sounded too practical for me; I'm still satisfied to be the Lute of the Holy Ghost." "You can be a Son o f Dan, too." "Not yet, not yet. We must still be a little meek in the face of Heaven."* "You're in a mighty poor place to practice meekness. What'd you cross the river for, anyway?" "Why, for father and mother, of course. They must be safe at Green Plains. Can I get out there without trouble?" The Bishop sneered. "Be meek, will you? Well, mosey out to Green Plains and begin there. It's a burned plains you'll find, and Lima and Morley all tLe same, and Bear Creek. The mobbers started out from Warsaw, and burned all in their way, Morley first, then Green Plains, Bear Creek and Lima. They'd set fire to the houses and drive the folks in ahead.

The Lute of the* Holy Ghost Breaks His Fast. In his cautious approach to the Daggin house, he came upon her unawares— a slight, slender, shapely thing of pink and golden flame, as she poised where the sun came full upon her. One hand clutched her flowing blue skirts snugly about her ankles; the other opened coaxlngly to a kitten crouched to spring on the limb of an apple tree above her. The head wa* thrown- back, the vivid lips were parted, and he heard her laugh low to herself. Stepping from the covert that had shielded him, he called softly to her. "Prudence—Prue!" She had reached for the kitten, but at the sound of his low, vigorous note, she turned quickly toward him, coloring with a glow that spread from the corner of the crossed kerchief up to the yellow hair above her brow. She answered with quirk breaths. 'Joel—Joel—Joel!" She laughed aloud, clapping her small hands, and he ran to her—over beds of marigolds, heartsease and lady slippers, through a row of drowsy looking, heavy-headed dahlias, and past other withering flowers, all but choked out by the rank garden growths of late summer, Then his aims opened and seemed to swaHow the leaping little figure. "You dear old sobersides, you—how gaunt and careworn you look, and how hungry, and what wild eyes you have to frighten one with!

Some words in our language haw several meanings, each different from the others, so that it is ,not always possible to know at tirst just what thought the speaker wishes, to express. There Is the word "humanitarian," for instance. If you will turn to your Wei) ster you will find that It means, first. one who denies the divinity of Christ and believes him to have been merely human; second, one who limits the sphere of duties to human relations and affections to the exclusion of the religions or spiritual; third, one wher.is actively concerned in promoting the welfare of his kind, a philanthropist. The third sense is the one in which the word is now most frequently used, and Webster marks this definition as "recent." A Miraculous Cure The following statement bv H. \I.

It will do no good. 1 know of the devotion between you and Earle—that you expected on your return to find that he still belonged to you, that Instead you flud in me a wedge between you and him—that you are prepared to hate me." "J assure you you wrong me. On the contrary"— "Here is the proof. In this letter, written to Earle as soon as you heard of his marriage, you say"— "Please don't read it. I was a fool to write such stuff. Of course Earle had a perfect right to marry, and had I been In his place I should have"— - "Never miud these bits of conventional flattery; they will do no good.

Earle Warren was absent ten weeks, and the day before his return there was. another conversation between those he had left behind. "You are my evil genius." "Your evil genius?" she asked In a tone far from Indicating that she was offended. "Yes, I came h >rue expecting to find my friend. He tad pp^ed Into your pcose^. ;^ii.

"Men have died, but not tor love." "Honorable men have done dishonorable things for love." "I would delight to make you turn against your friend for me.

"Now you have your victim wlthiu your toils," he said, "you hesitate to crush him." "Come tomorrow night at 10. Earle returns a little later. If I have made you bad I will l>e as bad as you." At the appointed hour the next night Stanton King drove in a carriage to the house of Earle Warren. It was Damon going to rob Pythias of his wife. lie knew that a woman who would play such a part must be a very devil, but it seemed the greater the devil the greater her power over him. He drove up to her door just as a town clock struck the hour of 10, Jumping from his carriage, he ran up to the door. It was opened by the lady herself. "Come in." she said. "We bave plenty of time." "Rut I expecteu you would be dres? ed for the journey." "The journey to the realms of Setau?" "If there were a worse place I would follow \ on there." A sound of wheels without and a carriage drove up behind the one that was waiting. Soi'ne one alighted and came up the steps. The > lady who was to run away with her husband's* friend threw herself on a sofa av.C. buried her face in the cushions. A man entered and stood for a moment lool- Ing at the coupie. lie was Earle War ren. Following him was a young aad beautiful woman. "Stanton," he said gayly, Stautou King reeled and was a boot to fall when bis friend caught him 1- his arms. "Stanton, old man, It'a all right- We've put up a job on you.

THE LINCOLN STOVE & HUGE COMPANY, Fremont, Ohio. :-;y&.a Cure Tba distinctive weapon of the Swiss was tb« halberd, which waa their principal weapon at Morgarten and Laupen. It is curious to note how the Teutonic nations, even to this day, prefer 'the cut and the Latin nations the point. Wc have bcr.n told %y Gerr.ian officers that when the German and French cavalry met In the war of 1870 the German sword blades always flashed vertically over their heads, while the French darted in and out horizontally In a succession of thrusts. Even the German dead lay in whole ranks with their swords at arm's length. So the English at Ifasllngs worked havoc with their battleaxea. The Nether land mercenaries carried a hewing weapon at Bouvines. The Flemings at Courtrai used their godendags fitted alike both for cut and thrust, and finally the Swiss made play wlth^ their halberds, an improvement on the godendag. The halberds had a point for thrusti lng, a hook wherewith to pull men from the saddle and above all a broad, heavy blade, "moat terrific weapons" (valde terribitia), to use the words of John of Winterthur, "cleaving men asunder like a wedge and cutting them i into small pieces." One can Imagine I how such a blade at the end of an j eight foot shaft must have surprised j galloping young gentlemen who thought j themselves Invulnerable in their armpr. | — Macmillan's Magazine.

Miller of the University of Berlin. In a lecture the professor said that a bite of a pretty girl would often bring a quicker and more horrible death than the bite of a serpent. Professor Miller, who has made a specal study of the bacteria of the mouth, said that only a short time ago he experimented on a beautiful girl is Germany and found that an arrow dipped in saliva from her mouth would send its victim in death throes more terrible than one dipped in the venom of the most deadly snake.—What to Bat - Catarrh of the nose and throat should lead you to at least a«k us for a free trial box of Dr. Sbpops Catarrh cure.

I was miiiwwrl In my infancy and from iar «arlJeat recollection my . grandfather had made me his constant orxnpsaakm. He was an Itinerant preacher oC western England—his circuit, catting aba from walled Chester oat the west to the hovels of the charcoal hesrn.*rs In mid-England; and daring the years of, his itinerancy I followed aim in the pursuance of bis dntJes through sun and rain aud winter 0aa>t I repeat tfcav-in- order to explain. ju*t how I regarded my grandfather unseen force, I appeared to come to where the crumbling shell of aa an* cient oak spanned the palh. I reached into the hollow trunk and drew forth a spade corroded with rust, and rolling the log away I began to dig into the damp, soft eaith. In my trance I continued to throw the dirt to the , right and to the left until from out the brown loam appeared the face in the picture. Then the feverish vision broke, and I emerged as from an hypnotic spell to find the old couple discussing eagerly with Garver Hallard concerning the wedding settlement, This synthesis of psychic suggestions— I dared not ca.'l them more— in the lighten** certain hereditament I s o deeply impressed my mind and so he left ta me. his diary, but which he esarfMtsljr forbade me opening unlit 1 had famed my twenty-fifth birthday. There were many things I witnessed aud heard ia my boyhood for which I ronfct wad mo explanation until 1 broke the seal of this book wherein the magnitude of my grandfather's very soal stands revealed. The first «»ntry In the diary is as follows: • * <» * . . * My hehne* grandson, in this harassed me that I thought of scarce aught else when the next morning I started out ts^ follow my itineracy, preaching the peace on earth of~ which this world knows little until the time was come for me to return to lead the marriage service over Lisbeth and Garver Hallard. 1 had stopped the night at the market town of Oswestry, a day's journey from the'iun, uiv! when i rode away in the morniug i galloped over a goodly number oi miles before diary are recorded events writ down ' T R a v e s m a n h e p d t() m v s u r r o u n ^. for thy especial edification.

It' v a t in, the first years of my j posse and a miotloy crowd of excited cltiieus, I returned to the spot —my absence of explanation unnoticed in the 1 rensy of the hour. With the exhuming of the body an unusual phenomenon Waa discovered to have taken place. The waters of the little brook close by had . permeated through the soil to the corpse m of the murdered man and, acting upon the tissues, had preserved it with lifelike features. Both I, and those with me who had known him in life, recognized in him Lisbeth's husband who had so mysteriously disappeared four years before. A stab in the back that penetrated to the heart told how he bad met his death. When I went on to the Inn to prepare the widow and her parents for the bringing home of the husband so long dead, I found Garver Hallard, and a few guests who had been invited to the wedding, impatiently awaiting -me. Lisbeth 'iad been tricked out in bridal white, but her expression was that of deepest despair. . "In view* of the news I bring, the marriago would better be postponed awhile," I said low ?et so that all might understand. 'Lisbeth, I bring thee sad tidings of thy last husband." Then 1 said that the body was found and Hallard staggered back against the bar as though I had dealt him a blow. There came a great fear into his narrow eyes, his swarthy features grew livid; aud after I had told. my tale he asked with quivering lips and voice if any caie to the assassin had been discovered: and I, bearing the glow ii; mind, did look him level in" the eye ai..'. answer him shortly ••yes." hi the confusion of the laying out COY'S HEAD ONc SOLID SORE.

When night came down fate led me to the door of a desolate fnn riowly dropping to ruin in the ,I*evpetnaI shadow .of a grove of oak.

Hut his account is with timl! He keeps it, and He will settle it when the dial points the hour! . With the disappearance of Hallard, Lisbeth, as the only heir-at-law again came into the estate that her husband haunted the earth to restore to her; and now that his body was laid in a consecrated grave, his restless wrath seemed to find peace beyond the portcullis of the Borderland, in that Heaven, that Nirvana of our hopes, we pray. Here ended the first entry in my grandfather's diary. The extreme poverty and the low standard df living of peasants from whom the Russian agricultural laborers are recruited assure a low level of wages for agricultural labor. The average wages will appear almost Incredibly low from an American point of view, notwithstanding the general complaints of the estate holders concerning ihe unreasonable demands of the laborers. According to an official investigation embracing the decade of 1882-1891, the average annual wages for a male agricultural woiker in Russia were less than $32 and for a female worker less than $18. To this must be added the coat of subsistence, which is equally low, being on an average $24 for a male and $22 for a female worker for a whole year; sr# that the average cost of* employing ?i "nborer for the entire year is equal 1c only $55 for Table Talk. "I once saw a man," remarked the Wise Guy, "who was so thin that they t had to make a'n Incision In his skin every few hours and blow him up with a pneumatic pump to keep him from wearing holes in his hide." "That's nothing," replied, the irrepressible. "I once knew a feHow who was so thin that one stroke of the razor shaved both-side* of hi»v face, his cheeks were thert close together." "And I once knew a man,*:sald the Brave Boy, "who didn't have any more meat on his bones than this old rooster did before he died." "And I once Knew some gentlemen,", snapped the landlady, motioning for the Sweet Thing to remove the dishes. I Reached Into the Hollow Trunk. leaves and woody fragments for the spade which I did not doubt but I should find concealed therein; and after I drew it forth I paused to verify each stamp which time and the elements had set upon blade and handle, as I had remarked them erstwhile in my vision.

It was a foot long, and several inches thick. Lifted, it bent this way and that, like rubber. "It is itacolumite or flexible sandstone," said the owner. "It is found in California, Georgia, and several other states. Besides bending it will stretch. "Look at it closely and you will see that it is formed of a number of small pieces of stone of various tints, all dovetailed together loosely, so as to allow of a slight movement. "This movement is what causes the stone to bend. See how It bends! Like rubber precisely, eh? But if I bend It too far it will break." the male and $40 for the female. The wages for tiie summer season of live months are almost equal to the annual wages, being $22 for the male and $1?. for the female laborer. Japan's Empress Popular. It is doubtiul if any royal consort b more loved by her people than is tht-' empress Of Japan. Educated accord ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all the accomplishments befitting rne oi her social eminence, her majesty strongly favors the broadness of the new education for women and from her private purse gives large sums toward the maintenance of women's schools and universities. During the war with Russia the empress visited the hospitals many times and every day passed hours makiug bandages. The effect of these bandages upon the wounded soldiers ha* been of deep in terest to medical and scientific men, for the soldiers honored by them seemed to rally under a peculiar^ men tal influence. All other bandages were destroyed after their fir3t use; those made by the empress were sterilized and used again for the simple reason of their effect on the recovery of th« soldiers.

"The Door Unbolted" is the title of a> charming little booklet just issued by the Company which tells, and illustrates, the story of this remarkable growth. It takes the reader from the little white barn in which the business was started Jan. 1, 1895, through the palatial offices and great factory buildings of the "White City" that comprise Postumville, Battle Creek, Mich. The little white barn, so carefully preserved, is a moat interesting building, for it represents the humble beginning of one of the country's greateat manufacturing enterprises of today, an enterprise that has grown from this .little barn to it whole eity of factory buildings Within but ilUlo more1 than ten years.., ........ v. No less interesting ia tho quaint official home Of the Postum Cereal Co. The general office building of Mr. Post and his associates Is a reproduction of the Shakespeare house at Stratfordon- Avon, and upon the house and its furnishings has been expended vast sulns of money, tmtil the rooms are* more like the drawing moms of the mansions of our multi-millionaires than like offices. -• : t that Mr. Peat has •believed thoroughly fn the idea*** trivia? to.his employes attractive and heaHfahil work room* Is proven1 nwtiotUy.by the backbone of a country and a nation's best asset. Here we have a country where no city exceedsH 100,000, and where only one "comes within easy distance of that figure according ,to the census just taken and where no other city reaches a population ceedrng 16,000. The places with • . . population over 5,000 ca» be c o u n t e t v upon the fingers of one hand, and yag the prosperity that prevails Is something unprecedented in the history of all countries past or present The reason for this marvelous prosperity Is not hard to seek. The large majority of the 810,000 people who inhabit Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, have gone on to the farm, ^ and have betaken themselves to the task of. not only feeding and-clothing themselves, but of raising-''food' for others less happily circumstanced. The crop of 1900, although not abnormal, is an eye-opener to many who previously had given little thought to the subject. Ninety million bushels of wheat at 70 cents per bushel—$63,000,- 000; 76,000,000 bushels of oats at 30 cents per bushel—$22,800,000; 17,000,- 000 bushels of barley at 40 cents per bushel—$6,800,000; makes a total of $92,600,000. This Is altogether outside the root products; dairy produce, and the returns frcm the cattle trade; the beet sugar industry and the various other by-products of mixed farming. When such returns are. obtainable from the soil it is not to be wondered at that many are leaving the congested districts- of the eayst, to take upon themselves the life of the prairie farm and the labor of the housbandman. With the construction of additional railroads new avenues, for agriculturakenterprlse are opening up, and improved opportunities are offered to the settle'* who understands prairie farming;, and Is willing to do his part in building up the new country. This is the theme that Mr. J. J. Hill, the—veteran-railroad builder—i&-4he West, has laid before the people in a series of addresses which he Has given at various points during the past few months, and, having been for so long identified with the development of* the West, there are few men better qualified than he to express an opinion upon it. Take care of the country, says he, and the cities will take care of themselves. The farmers of the Western States and tho Canadian West, are more prosperous than ever before, and when It cornea to measuring -up results, the Canadian appears to have somewhat the better of it. His land is cheaper in fact, the government continues to give free homesteads to settlers, and the returns per acre are heavier when the crop is harvested. Farming land in the Western States runs from $60 to $150 an acre and up. whereas equally good soil may be purchased in Canada for $8 to $15 per * acre, within easy reach of a shipping point, and much of this is available for free homesteading. The quality of the Canadian No. 1 hard wheat cannot be beaten, and the returns to the acre are several bushels better than on this side of the line; the soil and climate of that country being peculiarly adapted to wheat growing. The fact ia evidently appreciated by the large number of American _, farmers who have in the past two or three years settled in the Canadian West. The agents of the Canadian Government, whose address will be found elsewhere, advise us that for the fiscal year 1904-6, the records chow that 43,543 Americans settled in Canada, and in 1905-6 the number reached 57,796. From all of which, It appears that at present, there is a good thing in farming in Western Canada, and that the American tanner ii not slow to avail himself of it, Depew Writes Reminiscences.

The governor, attorney- general and superintendent of public instruction are ex-offtcio members of the board of directors. The state appropriates $2,500 to $3,000 a year, and other receipts make up a revenue for the society of about $5,- 000. Seven hundred and fourteen agents are scattered throughout the state, remote parts being looked after about as well as in the city of Denver. Perhaps In no other state is serious effort made to enforce the law for child and animal protection in small communities and In rural districts the same as in the cities. The Nebraska society has decided to ask the next legislature for a state board of child and animal protection.

There is one, claimed to be the only one in the world, built of that material. This structure is located in the lepartment of Palenque, state of Chiapas, republic of Mexico. ' TjgMs district lies in the extreme southwestern part of Mexico, near the boundary lln^i "SE of Guatemala. The mahogany bridge is constructed entirely of that valuable wood except some iron braces and nails that are necessary. The bridge spans the Rio Michol and its total length, including approaches, exceeds 150 feet, while the width is 15 feet. It is used by both teams and pedestrians and, though somewhat rude and primitive in construction, it is very substantial. None of the timbers of the flooring were sawed, for In that region there are no sawmills, but were hewn and split. In that section of old Mexico there are several very large rubber plantations, and mahogany trees are quite commoni In clearing away the tropical forests for setting out the young rubber trees the mahogany growths are also cut down and removed. As this wood is quite abundant, some of it was used in building the bridge.— American Inventor. Wrong Method of Teaching.

Even college graduates, fresh from prize-winning in French or German, are generally unable to speak either language, although capable of writing an excellent thesis on their history, philology, syntax and literature.

Twenty-five years ago the custom of making New Year's calls was a delightful one for all concerned, until some of the boys got more "egg-nog" or "apple-jack" than they could successfully carry. Then the ladles tried to be charitable and the gentlemen tried to be as chivalrous as ever and stand up at the same time. If anyone thinks there has not been considerable improvement made in the last quarter of a century, in Uie use of alcoohllc beverages, let him stop to consider, among other things,, the fact that the old custom of New Year's calls and the genteel tippling is nearly obsolete. The custom of calling on one's friends, however, at the beginning of the new year, is a good habit, and another good habit to start at that time Is the use of well-made Poatnm instead of coffee or spirits. A Staten Island doctor has a sensible daughter who has set Postum before her guests as a good thing to drink at Yule Tide, and a good way to begin the New Year.

THE PRESIDENT'S UNCKNEY, MICHIGA* Success and Failure. Peary failed to reach the North Pole, but he got nearer to that elusive proposition than any other of the numerous explorers who have tried to penetrate to thit arctic region that has bee* so long an undiscovered country. He Was within 191 miles of the pole, a short distance from the point desired, if the transportation In the frozen north were equal to our own In the matter of speed over good railroads. Peary beat the record of Capt. Cagni of the Italian Duke of Abruz2i expedition by over 50 miles, and is to be praised for his persistency and courage, but, nevertheless, many are asking what particular good has been accomplished by his efforts? Even If he had reached the regions where it is claimed there are 3,000,000 square miles of unoccupied territory, would this have been of any benefit to humanity at large? asks Boston Budget. Would the country have been inhabitable, and if it were, how would intending settlers ever get there through tho icy barriers .that would oppose their progress on all sides? Possibly in the distant future, modern inventiveness might be able to make journeying to the pole comparatively easy, BO that even excursion parties might go there on pleasure trips, but at present this seems to be as little likely of realization as would bo a trip to Mars on a flying machine. However, man is an Inquiring animal, and is always wanting to eat of the tree of knowledge, and if only his curiosity would be gratified by the invasion of the North Pole, there would be some, advancement made in developing' the Bpirit of enterprise without which there is no progress In any acknow- Recommends Legislation on New and Important Subjects, INCOME - INHERITANCE TAX He Believes Such Laws Would Curb Growth of Fortunes to Dangerous Proportions. Hia Views on Negro Question—Asks for Currency Reform, and Shipping Bill-^Would Make Citizens of Japs —Many Other Important Subjects Discussed. Washington, Dee. ?.-The notable features of President Roosevelt's unnuul message to congress are his appeal tor the enactment into law of several bills introduced into congress last winter and spring; his views on the negro problem; the scoring lie gives those whom lie terms "preachers of discontent;" the stand he takes for the control of corporations by the federal government under the interstate commerce clause of the constitution, and his recommendation for an inheritance and income tax law • Many other subjects common to messages of the chief executive are touched upon, hut tho ones mentioned are by far of the gitatest importance. He especially, urges the passage , of tho bill prohibiting corporations from contributing to campaign funds, and also that one which wottid give the government the rlernt of appeal in criminal cases. Of this he says: "Another bill which has just past one house of the congress and which is urgently necessary should be enacted into law is that conferring upon the government the right of appeal in criminal cases on questions of law. This right exists In many of the states; It exists in , ^ , „ A , .. . i t „ . the District of Columbia by act of the ledged practical direction. Science ] congress, it is of course not proposed that In would be benefited by the discovery, if any case a verdict for the denothing else came from it for the prosperity of mankind. Peary has not attained the summit of his ambition, but that will not discourage others from trying to outdo him. His example "will encourage them to venture farther than he did, for as he followed others he will have, no doubt, many successors. The best solace that Peary has In his defeat is the faith that his wife exhibited during his silent absence In his ability to return to her unharmed, even though she knew from experience all the difficulties and dangers of arctic travel. fendant on the merits should be set aside. Recently in one district where the government had indicted certain persons for conspiracy in connection with rebates, the court sustained the defenda n t ' s demurrer; while In another jurisdiction an indictment for conspiracy to obtain rebates has been sustained by the court, convictions obtained under it, and two defendants sentenced to imprisonment. The two cases referred to mav not be in real conflict with each other, but it is unfortunate that there should even be an apparent conflict. At present there is no way by which the government can cause such a conflict, when it occurs, to be solved by an appeal to a higher court; and tho wheels of justice are blocked without any real decision of the question. I can not too strongly urge the passage of the bill in question. A failure to pass will result In sei.ously hampering the government in its effort to obtain justice, especially against wealthy individuals or corporations who do wrong; and may also prevent tho government from obtaining justice for wageworkers who are not themselves able effectively to contest a case where the judgment of an inferior court has been against them. I have speciiically in viow a recent decision by a district Judge leaving railway emplovces without remedy for violation of a "certain socalled labor statute. It seems an absurdity to permit a single district Judge, against what may be the judgment of the immense majority of his colleagues on the bench, to declare a law solemnly enacted by the congress to be •unconstitutional," and then to deny to the government the right to have the supreme court definitely decide the auestion." Injunctions. On the subject of the abolition of Injunctions in labor disputes, he says- "In my last message I suggested the enactment of a law in connection with the issuance of injunctions, attention hav- Physical and mental efficiency and pre- /blf t J r S e m ^ r h a ^ h e 3 r \ i A » ventable ignorance, and urges action i n s injunctions in labor cases should be wholly abolished. It is at least doubtful whether a law abolishing altbgether the use of injunctions in such causes would stand th« test of the courts; in which case of course the legislation would be ineffective. Moreover, I believe it'would can talte p a r t in the t e r t u r e of a h u - man being without h a v i n g his o v n moral n a t u r e p e r m a n e n t l y lowered. Every lynching means Just eo much moral deterioration in nil the children who have a n y k n o w l c d r s of It', and therefore Just so much additional trouble for the next generation of Americans. "Let Justice be both sure and swift; but let It be justice under tho law, and not Ihe wild and crooked savagery of a mob. Capital and Labor. On the subject 'of capital and labor the president takes the agitators of class hatred to task and says "to preach hatred to tho rich man, as such, . . . to seek to mislead and influme to madness honest men whose lives aro hard and who have not tho kind of mental training which will permit them to appreciate tho danger in the doctrines preached is to commit a crime ajalnst the body politic and to be fulse to every worthy nrinelplo and tradition of American national life." Continuing on this subject he says: "Tho plain people who think—the mechanics, farmers, merchants, workers with head or hand, tho men to whom American traditions are dear, who love their country and try to act decently by their neighbors, owe it to themselves to remember that the most d a m a g i n g blow that can he given popular government la to elect an unworthy and sinister a g i t a t o r on a platform of violetK'0 and hvpocrisy. Whenever such an issue is raised in this country nothing can be gained by flinching from It, for in such case democracy is itself on trial, popular selfgovernment under republican forms is Itself on trial. The triumph of the mob is just as evil a t h i n g as the i. 1- umph of the plutocracy, and to have escaped one danger avails nothing whatever if we sucuumb to the other. In the end the honest man,whether rich or poor, .who earns his own living and tries to deal Justly by his fellow.s, has as much to fear from the insincere and unworthy demagog, promising much and performing nothing, or else performing nothing but evil, who would set on the mob to plunder the rich, a& irom the crafty corruptloni.st. who, for his own ends, would permit the common people to be exploited by tho very wealthy. If we ever let this government fall into the hands of men of either of these two classes, we shall show ourselves false to America's past. Moreover, the demagog and eorruptionist often work hand in hand. There are at this moment wealthy reactionaries of such obtuse morality t h a t they regard the public s e r v a n t who prosecutes them when they violate the law. or who seeks to m a k e them bear their proper share of the public burdens, as being even more objectionable t h a n tho violent a g i t a t o r who hounds on the mob to plunder the rich. There Is nothing to choose between such a reactionary and such an a g i t a t o r ; fundamentally they a r e alike in their selfish disregard of the r i g h t s o! others;'"and it is n a t u r a l that they should join in opposition to any movement of which the aim is fearlessly to do exact and even justice to all." competition and reduces former competitors to a position of utter inferiority and subordination. Inheritance and Income Tax. It was expected that the president would refer In some way to his belief in the necessity for the curbing of enormous fortunes, and ho has done so by recommending legislation for both Income and an Inheritance tax. He believes the government should Impose a graduated Inheritance tax, and, If possible, u graduated income tax. He says: "I a m well aware that such a subject as this needs long and careful study in order that tho people may become familiar with what is proposed to be dono, may clearly see the necessity of proceeding with wisdom and self-restraint, and may make up their minds just how far they are willing to go in the matter; while only trained legislators can work out the project in necessary detail. But I feel that In the near future our national legislators should enact a law providing for a graduated Inheritance lax by which a steadilj increasing rate of duty should bo put uj,">n all moneys or other valuables coming by gift, bequest, or devise to any individual or corporation. It may be well to make <.he tax heavy in proportion as the individual benefited is remote of kin, In any event, In my Judgment the pro rata of the tax should increase very heavily with the increase of tho amount left to any one Ind' /Id'.'itl after a certain point has been reached. It Is most desirable t"3 encourage thrift and ambition, and n potent source of thrift and ambition is the desire on tho ipart of tho breadwinner to leave his children well off. This object can be attained by making the tax very small on moderate amounts of property left; because the prime object should be to put a cons t a n t l y increasing burden on the inheritance of those swollen fortunes which It is certainly of no benefit to this country to perpetuate. There can be no question of the ethical propriety of the government thus determining tho conditions upon which any £ift or inheritance should be received, Exactly how far the inheritance tax would, as an incident, have the effect of limiting the transmission• by devisa or gift df the enormous fortunes In question it is not necessary at present to discuss. It is wise that progress in this direction saould be gradual. At ilrst a permanent national inheritance tax, while it mightbe more substantial than any such tax has hitherto been, need not approximate, cither in amount or in the. fvient of the Increase by graduation, to what such a tax should ultimately be. Inheritance Tax Constitutional. National Department of Health. The plea made by Prof. Norton of Yale university for a national department of health is not to be ignored, remarks the Troy Times. Yale has taken up the matter, and other institutions and men of high professional standing are giving attention. A bulletin put forth by Yale's department of social science reminds the Americanj> eople that the four causes of ^waste of human life and energy are preventable death, preventable sickness," preventable conditions of low by the people through the government to check this waste. Prof. Norton asserts that not less than 750,000 lives can be saved in the United States annually by th« employment of proper means, and he puts the economic side of the question in almost startling form. Estimating wages at one dollar per day, which no doubt is far below the average, the professor shows that the yearly loss by illness is considerably over $1,000,000,000, while by the methods proposed at least half this sum could be saved. In an era notable for the economizing of force, tha{ Is a statement to compel serious thought. Railroad Employees* Hours. He asks for the passing of the bll! limiting the ' number of * hours of employment of railroad employes, and classes the measure as a very moderate one. He says the aim of all should be to steadily reduce the number of hours of labor, with a s a goal the general introduction of an eight-hour day, but insists that on the Isthmus of Panama the conditions are so different from what they are here that the introduction of an eight-hour day .on ihe canal would be absurd, and contiaues, "Just about a s absurd as it is, ao far a s the isthmus is concerned, where w'dte labor cannot be employed, to bother aa to whetlwr the work Is done by alien black men or >lien yellow men." He urges the enactment of a drastic child labor law for the t)lBtrlct of ColumWa and the territories, and a federal investigation of the subject of child and female labor throughout tlte country. He reviews the work of the commission appointed to Investigate labor conditions In tho coal fields of Pennsylvania in 1902, and refera to the wish of the commission "that the state and federal governments should -provide the machinery for what may be called the compulsory investigation of controversies between employers and employes when they arise." Control of Corporations. A considerable portion of the message is devoted to the subject of federal control of corporations in. what he refers to the passage at the last session of the rate, meat inspection and food laws, and says that alt of these have already justilled their enactment, but recommends the amendment of the meat inspection law so as to put dates on the labels of meat products, and also to place the cost of inspection on the packers rather than on the government. (Continuing on ' this subject of the control of corporations by the federal government he apys: "It cannot too often be repeated that experience has conclusively shown the impossibility of securing by the actiora of nearly half a hundred (liferent .state legislatures anything bi't ineffective chaos in the way of dealing with the great corporations whl«*h do not operate exclusively within the limits of any one state. In some method, whether by a national license law or in other fashion, we must exercise, and that at an early date,' a far more complete control than at Lowest Telegraph Rates. Spelling reform has had a new and Important development in a direction which no one has heretofore thought of. In Europe messages are charged for according to the number of letters, instead of words', as in this country. All trans-Atlantic messages from America are charged for by letter in accordance with the European system. The adoption of spelling reform will cause a modification of the schedules of the international telegraphic companies, and the consequent saving of money. For example, "thru" will have to be charged for as four letters instead of six, as formerly, and so on through the entire list. It will cause no trouble to the operators, because they for years have been using the shortest form by which vrovOs could be spelled without possibility of missympathy with criminals to weaken our hands in upholding tho law; and if men seek to destroy life or property by mob violence there should be no impairment of the power of the courts to deal with them in the most summary and effective way possible. But so far as possible the abuse of the power should be provided against by some such law as I advocated last year. The Negro Problem. The negro problem Is given considerable attention, after calling attention to the fact that no section of the country la free from faults, and that no section h a s occasion to Jeer a t the shortcomings of any other section, he turns to the sub- Je^V,°f lynchings, and especially as appiled to the negro of the south. He says the greatest existing cause for mob law is the perpetration by the blacks of. the crime of rape, a crime which he terms even worse than murder. He quotes the admonitions to the white people spoken by Gov. Candler, of Georgia, some years ago, and by Gov. Jelks, of Alabama, recently,, and then says: "Every colored man should realize t h a t t h e w o r s t enemy of his race is the negro criminal, and above all the neg r o criminal w h o commits the dreadful crime of rape; and it should be felt a s in the highest degree an offenBe a g a i n s t the whole country, and against t h e colored race In particular, for a colored man to fail to help the officers of the law in h u n t i n g down with all possible earnestness and seal every tuch ir.iamous offender. Moreover, In my Judgment, the crime of rape should •always be p'intshed with death, as Is the case wit'., murder; assault with Int e n t to .omi-iit rape should be made a capital erlir v a t least in the discretion of the l o u r t ; and provision should bo made Dy which tho punishment may follow Immediately upon the heels of the offence- while the trial should be so couduetr-6 that the victim need not be wantonly shamed while giving testimony, and that tho least possible publicity shall he Riven to tho details. The members of' the white race on the other hand should understand t h a t every lynching represents by Just so much a loosening of the bands of civtake. Consequently they will have 1 ^ ¾ ¾ ¾ ^ ^ . _ , ._ .. „„,.4U present over these great corporabe wrong altogether to prohibit tho use tions—a control that will among other of injunctions. It is criminal to permit things prevent the evils of excessive nothing new to learn. the community all tho foul and tfvil overcapitalization, and that v.-ill compel the disclosures, by each big corporation of its'stockholders and of its properties and business, whether owned ''irectly or thru subsidiary or affiliated corporations. This Will tend to put a stop to the securing of inordinate prol'ty by favored Individuals- at the expense whether of the general public, tho stockholders, or the wageworkers. Our effort should be not so much to prevent consolidation as such, but so to supervise and control it as to see that it results in no harm to the people. The reactionary or ultraconservatlve apologists for the misuse of wealth assail the effort to secure such control as a step toward socialism. As a matter of fact it is these reactionaries and ultraconservatlves who are themselves mofJt potent in increasing socialistic feeling. One of the most efficient methods of averting the consequences of a dangerous agitation, which is 80 per cent, wrong, la to remedy the 20 per cent. of evil aa to which the agitation is well founded. The best way to avert the very undesirable move, for the governmental ownership of railways is to secure by the government on behalf of the people a s a whole such adequate control and regulation of the great interstate common e a » lers «us will do away with the evils which give rise to the agitation against them. So the proper antidote to the dangerous and wicked agitation against the men of wealth as such Is to secure by proper legislation and executive action the abolition of. the grave abuse* which actually do obtain In con-1 nection with the business use of wealth under our. present system—or rather no system—of failure to exercise any adequate control at all. Some persons speak as it the exercise of Buch governmental control would do away *vlth the freedo; . of individual initiative and dwarf individual effort. This Is not a fact. It would bo a veritable calamity to fall to put a premium upon individual initiative, individual capacity and effort; upon the energy, character and foresight which it Is ho Important to encourage In the Individual. But as a matter of fact tho deadening and degrading effect of pure socialism, and especially of Its extreme form com.wmism, nnd the destruction or individual character which th^y would bring about, are in part achieved by the wholly unregulated competition which results in a single Individual or corporflion risiiig a t the expense of all others i creatures who dwell therein, tfo man ] ffi1 w 7 o ? its rise VffictS^Sy chocks ,.1 "This species of tax has again and again been imposed, altho only temporarily, by the national government. It was first imposed by the act of July 6, 1707, when the makers of the Constitution were alive and at the head of affairs. It was a graduated tax; tho small in amount, the rate was increased with the amount left to any Individual, exceptions being made in the case of certain close kin. A similar tax was again imposed by the act of July 1, 1862; a minimum sum of $1,000 in personal property being excepted from taxation, the tax then becoming progressive according to the remoteness of kin. The war-revenue act of June 13, 18S8, provided for an Inheritance tax on any sum exceeding the value of $10,1)00, the rate of tax Increasing both in accordance with the amounts left and in accordance with the legatee's remoteness of kin. The supreme court has held that the succession tax imposed at the time of the civil war was not a direct tax but an impose of excise whlcU was both constitutional and' valid. More recently the court, In an opinion, delivered by Mr. Justice White, which contained an ex* ceedingly able and elaborate discussion of the powers of the congress to impose death dutiea, sustained the constitutionality of the Inheritance t a x feature of the war-/evenue act of l£9K Is Income Tax Constitutional? "In lt« Incidents, aiWt apoft tram the main purpose of faislljg' revenue, an income tax stands o*» »n ,*irtlrqly' different foottug from an ishefltino* tax, because It involves no Question" of the perpetuation of fortune* swollen to an unhealthy,, .glse- The question is in its essence a Question of the proper adjustment of burdens to benefits. As the law now stands it is undoubtedly difficult to devlso a national Income ta-x which shall be constitutional. But whether It is absolutely impossible Is another question; and if possible it is most certainly desirable. The Jlrst purely income tax law wfts past by the congress in 1S61, but the most important law "dealing witli the subject was that of 189-(. This Che court held to be unconstitutional. "The Question is undoubtedly very intricate, delicate, and troublesome, The decision of the court w a s only reached by one majority. It is the law of the land, and, of course, is excepted as such and loyally obeyed by all good citizens. Nevertheless, the hesitation evidently felt by the court as a whole in coming to a conclusion, when considered together with the previous decisions on the subject, may p e r h a p s indicate the possibility of devising a constitutional income-tax law which shall substantially aco.complish the results aimed at. The difficulty of amending the constl. utron is so great t h a t only real necessity can justify a resort thereto.' Every effort should be made in dealing with this subject, a s with >;ie subject of the proper control by ine national government over the use of corporate wealth in interstate business, to devise legislation which without such action shall a t t a i n the desired end; but if this fails, there will ultimately be no alternative to a constitutional amendment." Agricultural Interests. He appeals for every encouragement that the congress can give to the 'agricultural interests of the country. fie points to the good that is being done by the various forms of grange organization!, and says: "Several factors must cooperate in tho improvement of the farmer's condition He must have the chance to be educated In the widest possible sense—In the sense which keeps ever in view tho intimate relationship between the theory of education, and the facts of life. In all education we should widen our aims. It is a good thing to produce a certain number of trained scholars and students; but the education superintended by the state must seek rather to produce a hundred good citlsens than merely one scholar, and It must be turned now and then from the class book to the Btudy of the great book of nature itself. This Is especially true of the farmer, as has been pointed out again and again by all observers most competent to pass practical Judgment on the problems of our country life. All students now realize that education mus". seek to train the executive powers of yjung peoplo and to confer more real significance upon the phrase "dignity of lafcir," and to prepare the puplla so that in addition to each developing in the highest degree his individual capacity for work, they may together help create a right public opinion, and show In many ways social and cooperative spirit Organization has become necessary in the business world; and it has accomplished much for good in the world of labor. H is no less necessary for farmers. Such a movement ns the grange movement Is good in Itself, and is capable of a well-nigh infinite further extension for good so long as it is kept to its own legitimate business. The benefits to be derived by the association of farmers for mutual advantage are partly economic and partly socio:ou'ical. Marriage and Divorce.

One of the great embarrassments attending the performance of our international obligations is the fact that the statutes of the United States government arc entirely inadequate.

The mob of a single city may at any. time perform acts of lawless vlolrnco against nome class of foreigners whi^h would plunge us into war.

I By HARRY LEON WILSON I Astbor of " The Speaden.•» ^ . |D*prrifcb«,tlMlby LothropPublumn* » CHAPTER III.—Continued. . His face relaxed a little, and he concluded almost quizzically: "Was not Satan hurled from high heaven tor resisting authority?" Sh9 posted, caught him by the fapela of his coat and prettily tried to shake htm. "Now, now! stop it at once, and come to the house. I've been tending your fatter and mother, and I'm going to tend you. What you need directly Is food. Your look may be holy, but I prefer full cheeks. Not another word until you have eaten every crumb I put before you." With an air of captor, daintily fierce, etie led him toward the house and up to the door, which she pushed open before him. "Come softly, your mother may be etill asleep—no, your father is talking --listen!" ' A querulous voice, rough with strong feeling, came from the inner room. "Here, I tell you, is the prophecy of Joseph to prove it, away back in 1832—»' He broke off, for the girl came leading in the son, who, as soon as he saw the white-haired old man with his open book, sitting beside the wasted woman on the bed, flew to them with a glad cry. Ther embraced him and smoothed and patted him, tremulously, feebly, with broken thanks for his safe return. Tbe mother at last fell back upon her pillow, her eyes shining with ,the Joy Of'a great relief, while the father was seized with a fit of coughing that crueHy racked his* gaunt frame and left him weak but smiling. The girl had been placing food upon the table. "Come, Joel," she urged, "you must eat—we have all breakfasted, so you must sit alone, but we shall watch you." She pushed him Into the chair and filled his plates hi spito of his protests. "And now we must be about our preparations for the journey. The time is ahort—who is that?" He sprang to the door. Outside, quick steps were heard approaching. The girl, who had risen in some confusion, stood, blushing and embarrassed before him. The mother rose feebly on her elbow to reassure him. "'Tis Capt, Girnway, laddie. Have no alarm—ho has befriended us. But for him we should have been put out two days ago, without shelter and without care, Ho let us be housed here until you should come." Thoro was a knock att the door, but Joel stood with his back to it. The words of SetU Wright were running roughshod through his mind. He Iaoked aharply at Prudence. "A mobocrat—our enemy—and you have taken favors from him—a minion of the devil?—shame!" Tho girl looked up. "He was kind; you don't realize that he has probably saved their lives. Indeed, you must let him in and thank him." "Not I!" The mother Interposed hurriedly. , "Yes, yes, laddie! You know not how highhanded they have been. They expelled all but us, and some they have maltreated shamefully. This one has been kind to us. Open the door." "I dare not face him—I may not contain myself!'* T W knock was repeated more loudly. The girl went up to him and put her hands on his shoulders to draw him away. "Be reasonable," she pleaded,' in low tone*, "and above all,, be polite to hllL* She twt htm gently aside and drew back-the door. On the threshold smite? the young captain. His cap was doffed, and his left hand rested easily on the hilt of his sword. He ste«>ed inside a* one sure of his welcome "Good morning, Miss Prudence, good morning, Mr. Rao, good morning, madam—good morning—" I fto looked questioning]}- at the etrwtgra*. Prudence stepped forward. "1*1» i9 #»el Rae, Capt. Girnway." TfceV bowed, somewhat stlfflj. Each. was dark. Each had a face to attract women. But the captain was at peace with the world* ,neatly uniformed, well fed, clean-shaven, smiling, pleasant to look upon, while the other was unshaven, hollow-cheeked, gaunt, roughly dressed, a thing that had been ihunted and was now under ban. Each was at once sensible of the contrast between them, and each was at once affected by it: the captain to a greater jauntiness, a more effusive affability; the other to a stonier sternness. "I am glad to know you have come, Mr. Rae. Your people have worried a little, owing to the unfortunate Circumstances in which they have been placed." "I—I am obliged to you, sir, in their behalf, for your kindness to my father and mother and to Miss Corson here." "You an. N thousand times welcome, sir. Can >;r« tell me when you will wish to cross the river?" "At the very earliest moment teat God and the mob will let us. -/To-morrrw morning, I hope." "This has not been agreeable to me, believe me—" "Far less so to us, you may be sure? but we shall be content again when we can get away from all your whiggery, democratism, devilism, mobism!" He spoke wlih rising tones, and the other Hushed noticeably about the temples. "Have your wagons ready to-morrow morning, tflen, Mr. Rae—at eight? Very well, I shall see that you are protected to the ferry. There has been so much of that tone of talk, sir, Mailed back at them. She went ahead through the door oV which they had first entered, and out Into the garden at the back of the house, He remembered, as he followed her, that since he had arrived that morning tme had always been leading him, directing him as if to a certain end, with the air of meaning presently to say something of moment to him. She led him to a rustic double chair under the heavily fruited boughs of an apple tree, and made him sit down. She began with, a vivaciouB playfulness, poorly assumed, to hide her real feeling. "Now, sobersides, it must end— this foolishness of yours " She stopped, waiting for some question of his to help her. But he said nothing, though she could feel the burning of his eyes upon her. "This superstitious folly, you know," she blurted out, looking up at him in sudden desperation. "Tell me what you mean—you must know I'm impatient." She essayed to be playful again, pouting her dimpled face near to his that he might kiss her. But he did not seem to see. He only waited. "Well—this religion—this Mormon ism " She shot one swift look at him, then ' went on quickly. "My people have left the church, and—I—too—they found things in Joseph Smith's teachings that seemed bad to them. They went to Springfield. I would have gone, too, but 1 told them I wanted firft to see you and—and see if you wowld not come "Her Coal Is Zionf Not Babylon—Re-member That!" that some of our men have resented it." He turned pleasantly to Prudence. "And you, Miss Prudence, you will be leaving Nauvoo for Springfield, 1 suppose. As you go by Carthage,' I shall wish to escort you that far myself, to make sure of your safety." The lover turned fiercely, seizing the girl's wrist and drawing her toward him before she could answer. "Her goal is Zlon, not Babylon, sir —remember that!" She stepped hastily between them. "We will talk of that to-morrow, captain," she said, quickly, and added: "You may leave us now, for we have much to do here In making ready for the start." "Until to-morrow morning, then, at eight." He bowed low over the hand she gave him, gracefully saluted the others, and was gone. CHAPTER IV A Pair Apostate. She stood flushed and quick-breathing when the door had shut, lie bending toward her with dark inquiry in his eyes. Before she spoke, he divined that under her nervousness some resolution lay stubbornly fixed. "Let us speak alone," she said, in a low voice. Then, to the old people, "Joel and I will go into the garden awhile to talk. Be patient." "Not for long, dear; our eyes aye aching for him." • "Only a little while," antt she with us—at least for awhile, not taking the poor old father and mother through all that wretchedness. They consented to let me stay with your parents^on condition that Capt. Girnway would protect them and me. He —he—is very kind—and had known U3 since last winter and had seen me —us—several times. 1 hadn't the heart to tell your father; he was so set on going to the new Zlon, but you will come, won't you?" "Wait a moment!" He put a hand upon her arm as if to arrest her speech. "You daze me. Let me think." She looked up at him, wondering at his iace, for it showed strength and bitterness and gentleness all in one look—and he was suflering. She put her hand upon his, from an instinct of pity. The touch recalled him. "Now—for the beginning." He spoke with aroused energy, a little wistful smile softening the strain of his face. "You were wise to giv9 me food, else f couldn't have solved this mystery. To the beginning, then: You/Prudence Corson, betrothed to me these three years and more; you have been buried in the waters of baptism and had your washings and anointings in the temple of the most high God. Is it not so? Your eyes were anointed that they might be quick to see, your ears that they might be apt at hearing, your mouth that you might with wisdom speak the words of eternal life, and your feet that they might be swift to run in the ways of the Lord. You accepted thereby the truth that the ange! of God had delivered to Joseph Smith the sealing keys of power. You accepted the glorious articles of. the new covenant. You .were about to be sealed up to me foretime and eternity, Now—I am lOBt—what is it?—your father and mci^sr have left the church, and because of what?" "Because of bad things, because cf this doctrine they practice—this wickedness of spiritual wives, plural wive*. Think of it, Joel—that if 1 were your wife you might take another." ^ "I need not think of it. Surely you know my love. You know I could not do that. Indeed I have heard at last that this doctrine so long gossiped of is a true one. But I have been away and am not yet learned in its mysteries. But this much I know— and it is the very cornerstone of my life: Peter, James and John ordained Joseph Smith here on this earth, and Joseph ordained the twelve. All other churches have been established by the wisdom or folly of man. Ours is the only one on earth established by direct revelation from God. It has a priesthood, and that priesthood is a power we must..reverence ^ n d obey, no matter what may be its commands. When the truth is taught me of this doctrine you speak of, I shall see it to be right for those to whom it is ordained. And meantime, outside of my own little life—my love for you, which would be always single— I can't measure the revealed will of God with my little moral foot-rule. Joseph was endowed with the open vision, He saw God face to face and heard His voice. Can the standards of society in its present corruption measure and pass upon the revelations of so white-souled a man?'' "I believe he was not white-souled." she replied, in a kind, animated way, as one who was bent upon saving him from error. * "I told you I k»jew why you were sent away on mission. It was because fbu were my accepted lover—and your white-souled Joseph Smith wanted me for himself." "I can't believe it—you couldn't know such a thing"—his faith made a brave rally-—"but even so, if ho sought you, why, the more honor to you—and to me, if you still clung to me." "Listen. I was afraid to tell you before— ashamed—but I told my people, It's three years ago. I was 17. It was just after we had become engaged. My people were then strong in the faith, as you know. One morning after you had left for the East, Brigham Young and Heber Kimball came to our house for me. They said tho Prophet had long known me by sight, and wished to talk with me. Would I go with them to visit him and he would bless and counsel me? Of course I was flattered. I put on my prettiest frock and fetchingest bonnet and set off with them, after mamma had said yes. On the way they kept asking me if I was willing to do all the Prophet required. I said I was sure of it, ^thinking they meant to be good and worshipful. Then they would ask if I was ready to take counsel, and they said, 'Many things are revealed unto us in these last days that the world would scoff at,' but that it had been given to them to know all the mysteries of the Kingdom. Then they said, 'You will see Joseph and he will tell you what you are to do.'" He was listening with a serious, confident eagerness, as if he knew she could say nothing to dim the Prophet's luster. "When we reached the building where Joseph's store was. they led rae up-stairs to a small room- and sent down to the store for the Prophet. When he came up they introduced me and left me alone in tbe little room with hiov '"heir actions had seemed queer :> me, but I remembered that this man had talked face to face with God, so I tried to fsel better. But all at once he stood before me and asked me to be Mf. -wife. Think of it! I was so fright* ened! I dared not say no, he looked at me so—I can't tell you how; but I said it would not be lawful. He said, 'Yes, Prudence, I have had a revelation from God that it is lawful and right for a man to have as many, wives as he wants—for as it was In the days of Abraham, so it shall be in these days. Accept me and I shall take you straight to the celestial Kingdom. Brother Brigham will marry us here, right now, and you can go home to-night and keep it secret from 4 your parents if you like/ Then I said, 'But I am betrothed to Joel Rae, the son of Giles Rae, who li away on mission.' 'I know that,' ha said—'I sent him away, and anyway you will be safer to marry me. You will then be absolutely, sure of your celestial reward, for in the next world, you know, I am to have powers, thrones, and dominions, while Brother Joel is very young and has not been tried in the Kingdom. Ho may fall away and then you would be lost.*" The man in him now was struggling with his faith, and he seemed about to Interrupt her, but she went on excitedly. "I said I would not want to do anything of the kind without deliberation. He urged me to have it over, trying to kiss me, and saying he knew it would be right before God; that if there was any sin in it ho would take it upon himself. He said, 'You know I have the keys of the Kingdom, and whatever I bind on earth is bound in heaven. Come,' he said, 'nothing ventured, nothing gained. Let mo call Brother Brigham to seal us, and you shall be a star in my crown for ever.' "Then I broke down and cried, for I was so afraid, and he put his arms around me, but I pushed away, and after awhile I coaxed him to give me until the next Sabbath to think it over, promising on my life to say not one word to any person. I never let him see me alone again, you may be sure, and at last when other awfut tales were told about him here, of wickedness and his drunkenness—he told in the pulpit that he had been drunk, and that he did it to keep them from worshipping him as a God —I saw he was a bad, common man, and I told my people everything, and soon my father was denounced for an apostate. Now, sir, what do you say?" When she finished he was silent for a time. Then he spoke, very gently, but with undaunted firmness.' "Prudence, dearest, I have told you that this doctrine is 'new to me. I do not yet know its justification. But | that I shall see it to be sanctified j after they have taught me, this 1 know as certainly as I know that Joseph Smith diig up the golden plates of Mormon and Moroni on the hill of Cumorah when the angel of the LdW moved him. It will be sanctified for those W*AD choose it, I mean. You know I could never choose It for myself. But as for others, I must not question. I know only too well that eternal salvation for ,me depends upon my accepting manfully and unquestioningly the authority of the temple priesthood." "But I know Joseph was not a food man." "I believe with all my heart Joseph was good; but even if not—we have never pretended that he was anything more than a prophet of God. And was not Moses a* murderer when God called him to be a prophet?" "And this awful journey into a horrid desert. Why must you go? Surely there are other ways of salvation." She hesitated a moment. "1 have been told that going to heaven is like going to mill. If your wheat is good, the miller will never ask which way you Came." "Child, child, some one has tampered with you." She reiorted quickly. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Unhooking the Elusive Eel Ingenious Angler Asserts Hypnotic Method Is Best. It isn't so hard to catch an eel. Not infrequently you will land one when you are fishing for something else. But getting him off the hook without having your line tangled and tied into innumerable knots—aye, that's the rub! When Izaak Walton wrote his treatise on the gentle art of angling, he overlooked the eel.. Yet the possibilities of this squirming fish in developing patience in the fisherman are infinite. The average angler, when he has hooked one, can do nothing more than rub his hand in the dirt till It is rough with grime, seize tho eel by the neck and club him to death. Meanwhile his line is all snarls and tangles. But an ingenious angler, with the nervous system of the eel in xalnd. has discovered a better way. Tbe eel, properly handled, may be soothed and put into an immediate state of calm simply by rubbing him gently on the spinal column with n. match or small stick. Indeed, no one who has hpynotized a crab by rubbing between the eyes will doubt for a moment thai tbe eel may somewhat similarly be put to sleep.' It is the only effective way to de« tach an eel from the hook. Try it! Male Teachers Decreasing. The male teachers in the United States are steadily decreasing, as shown by statistics.

Positively, not one weak heart in a hundred is, in it- •elf. actually diseased, i t is almost always * hidden tiny little nerve that really is all at fault. TfaiB obscure nerve—the Cardiac, or Heart Nerve —simply needs, and roust have, more power, more stability, more controlling, more governing Strength. Without that the Heart must continue to fail, and the stomach and 'kidneys also have these saniu controlling nerves. This clearly explains why, as a medicine. Dr. Shoop's Rostoiative has in the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts. Dr. Snoop first Bought the cause of all this painful, palpitating, suffocating heart distress. Dr. Snoop's r.csitorutive—this popular prescription—is alone directed to these weak and wasting nerve centers. It builds; it strengthens; it offers real, genuine heart help. If you would have strong Hearts, strong digestion, strengthen these nerves — re-establish kiiein as ue«4ed, with Dr. Shoop's Restorative A Miraculous Cure The following statement hv H.

The laAt thing before getting into bed take a watch or clock and turn the hands to the hour at which one wishes to rise and gaze at this Just long enough to fix the hour firmly on the retentive memory. Then if no other absorbing thoughts Intervene between that and the moment one is locked in slumber the night's rest will be easy and unbroken, and promptly at the hour in the morning, as a rule, one will find oneself released from sleep and wide awake. There is no need to repeat It over and over In the mind. All this makes tho brain uneasy and results in,the disturbed slumber.- Simply look at the watch or clock, as I have indicated, and the influence of the mind over matter will be clearly demonstrated in the morning.

The old law books are curious reading and give some funny ideas of what kings and parliaments thought they could do. Henry VIII., for example, passed "an act for the abolishing of diversity of opinion in certain articles concerning Christian religion." It staggers one to think of how many acts wonld be required tod a? "to abolish diversity of opinion" in religious matters. It Is not generally known In Scotland, the home of football, that it is still illegal to play football. Au act passed In 1424 and never repealed says, "No man shall play at football under a pain of BO shillings." But Scotch ladies with a tendency to overdressing are In no belter position. Their overdressing is still Illegal. By an act of James. II. restriction as to dress is laid down, and only the wife of a bailie or uidermau is allowed to wear **clotbes of silk, scarlet gowns." No woman is to come to kirk or market with her faoj mussated (or veiled), that she may be known. In the relgu of CJeorge III. a bill was introduced for the improvement of th * rvetrop l^tan watch.

Attorney General Bird has given an opinion that it is unlawful to teach the trades of cigarmaking, bropm making or granite cutting in the penal institutions of the state. He was guided by a recent decision of the supreme tcourt, holding that the constitution prohibits teaching a convict a mechanical trade, except one in which the largest portion of the product Is not manufactured in the state. Work of the kind designated will stop In the prisons as soon as the men who know the trades leave the institutions. Until he has further information regarding the state's chief supply, the attorney general is as yet unable to say whether the making of reed furniture can be continued to be taught in the Ionia reformatory. JAPOPHOBIA. California** Wild Over Prt*lde»t'i Plain Talk. President Roosevelt has stirred * storm in California, which is felt from end to end along the Pacific coast, by the statements in his message on the Japanese. Among the masses of the people, and particularly among the labor unions, the most bitter feeling has been aroused, and it is predicted freely that, unless something intervenes to change the sentiment, he has driven California, if not the entire Pacific coast, from the Republican ranks. The newspapers are very bitter in their criticisms, especially so the Chronicle. The president la excoriated for his threat to use troops, and he openly Is charged with deliberately misstating th« position taken by the authorities of Ban Francisco and the state. Hints are openly given that such action would result in attempts to Impeach Mr. Roosevelt. Charges ar« made that he is unfair, even untruthful/ in his message statements in reference to the situation in San Francisco. It is declared by President AUman, of the San Francisco board of education, that no matter what action i* taken in the courts in reference to California's separate school law, even if it is declared unconstitutional, the board will not recede from its stand in barring Japanese students from white schools. Morton Wants the Money. John Morton, of New York, has garnisheed the $1,250 held by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Ward, of Grand Rapids, since the notorious water deal. Ward had announced his intention of returning it to Frederick H. Garman. The story of the delivery of the packtige of money by Garman to "Billy" Leonard in the Livingston hotel in 1901, during the trial of Lant K. Salsbury for conspiracy in the water deal, is still fresh in the public mind. As no one could be found who gave the money to Leonard, its ownership could not be established, and Garman, who was ona ci (he people's witnesses, turned It over to the prosecuting at- , torjiey, who has held it ever since. Charges Blackmail. Jacob L. Hisey, treasurer and general manager of the Muskegon Milling Co., for whom a warrant was issued charging him with obtaining $5,000 under false pretenses and about whom grave rumors are circulated, concerning his handling of the mills, returned to Muskegon Wednesday morning after traveling 12 hours. It Is believed he was in Canada. He was arraigned before Justice Oosterbaan, in whos>w court the warrant was issued. He says it is a blackmailing scheme. In a statement to the press, Hisey said: "I was Informed of this matter at noon Tuesday by telephone and started at ouce for Muskegon in order to meet the charge of Charles A. Kerr. This man bought the stock referred to, after he had made a careful inspection of the affairs of the company and as late as November 15 he wrote me that he was entirely satisfied. "When he came to Muskegon I refused to take his money^for the stock until after he had worked five weeks and had an opportunity to study tho situation. If the loss is anything like the amount given out by the other officials of the company, some one has been speculating while I have been away trying to regain my health, which has been undermined by my work at the mill." Hisey stood mute when arraigned. A plea of not guilty was entered by his attorney and Hisey will be examined December 13. Bonds in the sum of $2,- OOO were furnished. In setting the time for the examination a week away the affairs of the Muskegon Milling Co. will have been thoroughly sifted. George A. Hume, secretary of the milling company, said that there is a shortage of about $40,000 and that an investigation of the books by experts will determine just when and when the money was lost. w Jaenogrodtki Caas^ •'- Chief of Police Murphy and Prosecutor Orr were denied extradition papers for Naum Jasnogrodski, wanted .JftflWUCiti: P* a charge pf getting $1,- 400 from Bernard Sempliner, a tailor, on alleged false pretenses. Gov. Higgins, of New York, ruled that there was merely an exchange of notes, and that no tirime was Involved in the alleged crooke*' transaction. The local officials are befng criticised for taking the junket, as Sempliner has sent an attorney and the presence of the qL facials la regarded as unnecessary, * It Is said that Jasnogrodski and the relatives of bis bride whom he married will pay up all his indebtedness, about $2,500, but that Sempliner will be th* last to recover. How School Money Goes. The department of public instruction is getting after more school district officers who do not comply with the law, The'efforts of the department to protect the primary school funds are not sporadic, but are directed to all the dlstrW<* tvbpfp there are irregularities. Chief Clerk A. Hamlin Smith and A-> ...n; .vuonify General Thomas A. Lawler have visited Lake county, where peculiar conditions have existed. In district No. 2 of Elk township there has been a district quarrel of long standing. Two sets of officers claimed the right to conduct the affairs of the district and each maintained a school. The old otflcers had possession of the funds and spent them to hire a teacher. A court finally decided that the new officers had a legal right to control the district and rendered a judgment against the old officers for $171 which had been spent by them unlawfully. Although nearly two years have elapsed since the decree of the court the money has not been pa'.d over and the state's officers have obtained the promissory notes of the old officers for the amount due. In district No. 3 of Dover township, Lake countv, certain alleged irregularities of the officers were investigated Xo action lias been taken. MICHIGAN BREVITIES.

"The major, dressing for dinner that night, said again: "4 I suppose, James, that you did as I told you about those boots?' "James laid 35 cents on the bureau.

Gov,/Warner^ will urge upon the legislature in hisTfbrthcomJhg message that th«l problem of employment for , oonvlcts in ;tbfi atate penitentiaries be •ol«$4 by the manufacture of binder *, twine. Returning from Chicago he vis- ,' ited the Indiana penitentiary in Michigan City, where he saw a practical demonstration of its manufacture by cotfvjata. t; > i *•..' He.ireport^ that the Indiana institution undersells the twine trust and Hells' its product entirely within the state,- resulting in a big saving to farmers. In car lots it sells twine at 8½ cents per pound and 9 cents in 50 pound packages. The trust gets 11 merits. The raw material costs from 6½ to cents to 8½ cents per pound and the cost of manufacture has averaged 1½ cents per pound. Each convict has earned bO cents a day for the state. It is believed that Gov. Warner will go so fax aft to u rge a considerable appropriation for the purchase of machinery and raw material and that he will set about solving the convict labor question with his full vigor. . Prefer Burial. Jackson prison convicts have begun a movement for the burial of prisoners who die in the institution and .to prevent their bodies going to Ann Arbor to come under the dissectors' knives. Charles Farr, an-habitual horse thief, who died of pneumonia, was the first beneficiary of the desire of the convicts that their 'bodies escape the dissecting table and with the money secured fTom five-cent subscriptions from each convict and contributions hy the prison officials, his body was laid away in Potter's field. Warden Armstrong is anxious to raise a sufficient fund to purchase a lot for burial purposes n e a r t h e prison. Sentiment against bodies being turned over to the- state is gaining. The defense of the present law, which taakes this possible, is that it has done away with the business of body snatching. FIVE DEMOCRATS. *ome of the Things They Will Try to Do in the Legislature. The gathering of Democratic powers in Lansiag caused new interest among members-elect of the next legislature in the plans of the five Democratic representatives who have been chosen from various sections. These five members, S. C. Thompson, of Manistee; G. B. Willits, of Calhoun; Edwin Farmer, of Livingston; Henry Zacharias, of Saginaw; F. H. Trabblc, of Monroe, will be the busiest men in the two houses. They will carry all the bills of their party, In addition to local legislation and personal legislation. Following are subjects on which bills are favored: Direct nomination of United States senators, the action of the people binding the legislature. Election of railroad commissioner. Election of tax commissioners. Direct nomination of all officers. A non-partisan election of delegates to the constitutional convention. Two-cent railroad fare in lower peninsula, three-cent fare above straits. Initiative and referendum. Recall of unsatisfactory officials by popular vote. Abolition of pardon board. Repeal of change of venue law. Homo rule for cities. Law making acceptance of passes a crime. Bigamy Disclosed. At the examination of Delbert F. Booker, accused of a serious offense by his 12-year-old daughter, in Lansing the girl testified, In addition to her statements in relation to her father's alleged crime, that both her father and mother, after separating had married again without obtaining divorces. Booker was married to a Mrs. Ellsworth, in Battle Creek, it was said, and after her death he married a Mrs. :owe, of Lansing. The mother married Peter Kroon, of Galesburg. Kalamazoo county authorities have been notified of the charge made against Mrs. Kroon and, should the present case against the father fail, he may be held for bigamy. Fatally Burned. Mayor John McKinley, one of St. Johns' leading merchants, was fatally burned in a gasoline explosion Friday night. Ho was filling a gasoline tank which supplies his store's lighting system and had a light near. Twenty gallons of gasoline exploded, blowing out the end of the building and throwing him 20 feet. His clothes and hair were burned from his body and his head badly burned. His recovery is doubtful. The store is situated In the Steel block, the finest building in Clinton county. The blaze was immediately controlled. Money Wanted In Chunks.

Killed One, Injured Three. Because a Finnish miner was careless with hi£iatof>, one man, Ww, Goggin, was killed and three, Dennis Shaft, John Sullivan and John Handley, were injured at the Qtitncy mine in Houghton. Shea cannot live. The miner was splitting powder in his hand when the hot grease fell from a lamp, firing it. Ha became frightened arid dropped the powder, burning, into a box of powder, which was fired and caught 14 other boxes. The explosion killed Goggin and threw Shea and Sullivan down the shaft, 200 feet, to the twenty-third level. The shaft is badly damaged from the eighteenth to the twenty-fourth level and operations are necessarily held up. Rescuing parties had great difficulty in bringing up the suffocating miners. Forty men of the night shift had gone down just before the explosion. It is not known how many are yet down. . Shot Dead. Fred. Wlstpointer, a Portsmouth township fanner, was shot through the heart and Instantly killed by Chris Pedereon, proprietor of a roadhouse on the Tuscola road, near Bay City, in a fight in the barroom of the house Friday evening.

It '*ifff*ars the two had trouble once be- P J M e i m d t h a t , Pederson and Chris wtetptornter, brother of the dead man, had a fight in a saloon over a game of parts last Tuesday, in which Pederson was given two black eyes and the otbr er man was severely choked. < ^iMBAer camiMS owned by George H.

Walter Eagle; aged 19, -of Alpena, who was knocked from the roof of a building when a high win£ blew over a smoke stack, has died of his injuries,* Warm for Ice Men. The federal grand jury, sitting in Toledo, 0., which has been investigating the connection of the Ann Arbor and Pere Marquette railroads with the formation of the Toledo Ice trust, was busy and more than a score of witnesses were examined, many of whom were Michigan agents of the Ann Arbor, or Michigan ice men. Damaging testimony is said to be in possession of the jurors, and indictments are ex* pected The federal authorities have evidence of secret rebates granted the Toledo Ice 4 Coal Co. It was said that violations of the interstate commerce law involving discrimination, alleged to have been found by the grand jury, will be turned over to the United States authorities for the southern federal district of Michigan. Fight Mail Orders. The Implement dealers of Michigan, in their convention in Grand Rapids, made a fight against manufacturers who sell to retailers and to catalogue houses. The latter question was fought In secret session. President Glasgow declares the association is strong enough to force manufacturers to refuse to sell tb mail order houses, which will force them to build their own factories and put them on a level with other dealers. A New 8leeplng Car Story. Among the railroad visitors in town yesterday was F. A. Miller, general passenger agent of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway. He visited all of the general offices In town vad at the Hollenden Hotel yesterday old a story of one of the sleeping car sorters who was recently found isleep while on duty. This is contrary to the rules of The St. Paul Road, and the negro man was in trouble when found by the inspector on The Pioneer Limited. He had his, wits about him, however, and in response to the inspector's inquiry as to what he was doing asleep, he said: "I'll tell you how it was, boss. I have only been with the company a short time and before coming here I was working on such and such a railroad. The line was so roush that I could not gjet any sleep. Since I have been working for the The St, Paul the road has noon so smooth that I lust could not keep awake." Mr. Miller says that while the negro had violated the rules, he was permitted.to keep his job on account of his' wit.—Cleveland Leader, Unearthing the Briber. During a recent campaign in England a certain woman called on a laborer's wife and asked if her husband would vote for Lord Blank. "No, he won't," was the reply. "But, remember the blankets and coals you got from the clergyman." "Never mind them. He's been promised a new pair of trousers if he votes for Mr. Dash." Suspecting that this was a case of bribery that must be outdone, the woman canvasser offered a sovereign if the woman would tell her who had promised the trousers. The money paid over, the wroraan smiled. "I promised them," she said, "and I'll buy them out of your sovereign." PUT DOWN "EDDICATION" IDEA. Farmers's Plea Had Weight Among Brother Agriculturists. In the early forties, on a certain "town meetin' day" in one of the small farming communities of the Granite state, there was more than the usual interest and excitement. Some audacious Philistine had secured the Insertion in the warrant of an article "To see If the town will appropriate $500 for a new schoolhouse." The sturdy yeomanry were out in force to fight down this' proposition. The* sympathetic moderator didn't "moderate" them worth a cent. The so-called "toney" advocates, conscious from _the start of their numerical weakness, were conciliatory arid-perv suaslve, in the hope of thus winning to their standard sufficient of the opposition to carry the day. These hopes were dashed, however, when a veteran farmer, the Nestor of the guild, got the floor, and shouted in foghorn tones: "What do you want of skuiehouses, anyway? This eddication talk is raisin' the old Harry wiih the boys on the farm! There's that Danny Webster—' s likely a young man 's ever raised in these 'ere parts! Got this eddication idee into his head—left the farm—never's heard of afterward!" This was a settler. The "toneys" fled the scene, and the "noes" had it. FILLING UP THE CANADIAN WEST. NO MEDICINE. t Poor financial eenditions-caused the Officers o"f Port HIT .U. W. to quit in a body and the lodge 1ms given up the ghosr. But Change of Food Gave Final Relief. Most diseases start in the alimentary canal—stomach and bowels. A great deal of our stomach and bowel troubles come from eating too much starchy and greasy food. The stomach does not digest any of the starchy food we eat—white bread, pastry, potatoes, oats, etc.—these things are digested in the small intestines, and if we eat too much, as most of us do, the organs that should digest this kind of food are overcome by excess of work, so that fermentation, indigestion, and a long train of ails result. Too much fat also is hard to digest, and this is changed into acids, sour stomach, belching gas, and a bloaty, heavy feeling. In these conditions a change from Indigestible foods to Grape-Nuts will work wonders in not only relieving the distress but In building up a strong digestion, clear brain and steady nerves. A Wash, woman writes: j . 4 "About five years ago I soffered with bad stomach—dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation—caused, I know now, from eating starchy and greasy food. "I doctored for two years without any benefit. The doctor told me there was no cure for me. I could not eat anything. without suffering severe pain in my back and sides, and I became discouraged. . "A friend recommended Grape-Nuts and I began to use it. In less than two weeks I began to feel better, and inside of two months I was a wel"; woman and have been ever since. "I (j^n eat anything I wish with pleasure. We eat Grape-Nuts anc cream for breakfast,; and are verj fond of itr" Name~ttven by Postun Co., Battle Creek. Mich. Read tht little boo*, "The Boad to Wellvilte/ in pkgs. "There's a reason." The American 8ett!er I t Welcomed to Canada. A number of the leading newspapers on this side of the line have been noticing the growth of the Canadian West In recent years, and draw attention to the fact that there seems to be no abatement of the Influx of settlers to that great grain-growing country. The Buffalo Express thuB refers to the subject: "Canada West continues to grow. There were 4,174 homesteads entries there in July of this year, as against 3,571 in July, 1903. Canada plumes, herself over this fact, with becoming pride. But what appears to make our neighbors happiest is the statement that of these 4,174 homesteaders, 1,212 were from this side of the line. Little is said about the 97 Canadians who recrossed the border to take np homes in Canada West, or of the 808 from Great Britain, or of the 1,236 from mm-British countries. It appears that the item in this July report that makes Canada rejoice most is this of the 1,212 American farmers who decided to try their fortunes in Canada West. "The compliment is deserved. The 1,212 were mostly from Dakota and other farming states, and go into Canada fitted better than any other class of immigrants for developing the new country. They take capital with them, too, say Canadian papers proudly. In every way, they are welcome over there." As the Express well says, the American is welcomed to Canada, and the reasons given are sufficient to invite the welcome. The Ameriacn farmer knows thoroughly the farming conditions that prevail in the Canadian prairie provinces, and is aware of every phase of agricultural development in recent years. In practical knowledge of what is wanted to get the largest return for labor and investment he is by long odds superior to any European settler. He knews what is required to bring success, and he Is able and willing to do it, and his future causes no apprehension to the successful Canadian farmer. The agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere, says that the difference between the manners and customs of the farmer "from Dakota, Oregon or Minnesota and the farmer from Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta is not nearly so marked as that between the farmer of the Maritime provinces and the Ontario tiller of the soil. Hence the welcome to the free homesteads of the Canadian West, and there are hundreds of thousandsof them left, that is extended to the settler from the Western States. was DOE8 YOUR BACK ACHE?

Y., says: "About fifteen years ago I suffered with my back and kidneys. I doctored and used many remiUku without getting relief.

Tea drinkers are finding scant encouragement in a report recently made by a large tea exporting house in Yokohama to its American customers. Incidentally it indicates that the United" States-is not alone in facing increased cost of living. The report says: "Owing to the rapidly increasing cost of living in Japan labor costs more, and in consequence cultivation of the tea gardens is less generous and extensive than formerly, and less care and skill are expended in picking and curing the leaf. Hence the average quality of the teas now offered for sale is below that of seasons prior to the war, and for the same reasons we are1 not likely in the future to see any reversion to the excellence of former years."—New York Sun.

I finally saw a doctor and he gave me remedies that did me no good, so I tried Cuticura when my limb below the knee to the ankle was as raw as a piece of beef. All I used was the Cuticura Soap and the Ointment. I bathed with Cuticura Soap every day, and used about six or seven boxes of Cuticura Ointment.

The Metorlaa who deals with human conduct has his way to s hearing made <easy by the motive ol fellowship. Above all the moralist who sets the man in face of himself and shows htm his relations to the else than self win have the foremost place, says the late Dean Shaler, In Atlantic. If fee do his work greatly, bringing to tt Newtonian might or Darwinian devotion to his purpose, the only danger in the appreciation he Is to receive Is that it will instinctively lift him above the human plane, denying him true fellowship with his kind. It Is only as men come to s higher appreciation of human quality that they are willing to leave their greatest teachers of morals in the same plane as themselves. That alone tells us where lies the summit of greatness in the intuitive judgment of mankind. Wealthiest in the World. The figures recently made public by the census authorities at Washington place the aggregate wealth of the United States, real and pers6nal, in 1904, at 1106,381,415,009. Inasmuch as present methods of ascertaining facts and of computing results are far better than ever before, it may be assumed that these figures are fairly accurate. Taking them as reliable and using the ratio of increase applied to preceding computations, the wealth of the country now would be $116,000,000,000. This puts the United States wholly by itself, says the Troy News, with possessions valued at double those of its nearest competitor and far distancing other great nations. Statistics of this sort relating to foreign countries are largely conjecture, but the highest figures given by those recognised as authorities arc as follows: Great Britain, $58,200,- 000,000; France, $50,000,000,000; Germany, $45,000,000,000; Russia, $35,- 000,000,000; Austria-Hungary, $30,000,- 000,000; Italy, $18,000,000,000, and Spain, $12,000,000,000.

Paying Out Large Buma, A large portion of the state funds, consisting of primary school money derived from the railroads for the taxes of the past three yearn, has been called in by the state treasurer and distributed among the school districts of the state. There waa nearly *4V 000,000 of this money, and it Is a remarkable fact that It was withdrawn from the banks of the state and distributed without causing the slightest embarrassment to the financial institutions. This is regarded as a remarkable fact, and one that reflects credit on State Treasurer Olasler. The money had been widely scattered, among the bank* e l the state,- according to their standing, and the amount of their capital atodk. It Is a financial movement of considerable importance to shift within a few days $9,000,000 of currency from one set of banks to another without upsetting the equilibrium of some of them, and now that the transaction has been accomplished it is deemed creditable to the state treasurer who accomplished it.

I The scheme for a railroad from Siberia to Alaska, which has been discussed as a Russian enterprise, comes up in the guise of an American scheme. There has just been incorporated in New Jersey The Trans- Alaska-Siberian Railway company, which purposes to construct a road from Alaska to Siberia, with a tunnel Under Bering strait The undertaking Is rather ambitious, as the main line is to be 3,750 miles long, with branches aggregating 2,250 miles. The American company is an offshoot of the European organization. The fact that those Interested take the trouble and go to the expense of Incorporating here shows that there are men with money who have faith in a plan which many have been inclined to regard as chimerical. Heart Salve. Miss Belle Barco, of Benton Harbor, was awarded $10,000 damages for breach of promise against Arthur C. Loomls, of Traverse City, the Jury deliberating over eight hours. The plaintiff completely broke dowa after she left the stand. Loomts was engaged to marry the young woman and on the eve of their wedding married another. His letters to her were introduced in evidence. In one he sent "kisses to her and • to the cats and dogs" and In another he .told her he "would go to hades or punching cattle If she turned him down." The court room was crowded all during the trial. No defense was made by Loomis, his attorneys only striving to keep down the amount of damages. She sued for $10,000. Singer's-Sudden Call. Burdett Clark, who has been singing illustrated songB at the Bijou vaudeville theater in Oskosh, Wis., died suddenly just after leaving the stage. It is believed that heart disease was the cause, aa he had been apparently in eneellent health up to a few » i n - ntee^before the end came, He was 26 years of agd and his home was at Lansing, Mich., where his father Is chief of police. He has a brother living In Milwaukee. He was formerly at Fond du Lac and tame here to sing at the Bijou. Bobbed a Cripple. Three robbers held up Harry Beers, a cripple, owner of a billiard hall In Northport, at the point of a revolver. He was relieved of $40 In money, shoved through the door of his home and told if he gave the alarm within an hour'they would kill him. The three then drove away. Beers was roughly handled and the robbers started -. to carry him off in their buggv, hut yielded to his' pleadings and left him at home. No trace of the robbers can be found. Governor Investigates. It is understood that Gov. Warner's mission to Washington is to secure information from the interstate commerce commission regarding the car shortage problem which he intends to discuss in his message. It is said the shortage of cars is one of the most Important problems now confronting the shippers of the state and the delay in shipping produce often results In great loss. It is known that Gov. Warner is iTeatly Interested in the subject on tehalf of the shippers and the understanding is that he will recommend legislation requiring railroad companies to furnish cars. probably something in the nature of the reciprocal demurrage bill introduced at the last session of the legislature will be favored by the governor.

He mounted the wagon In which the sick woman lay, sat well hack under the bowed cover, clucked low to the horses, and drove off toward the ferry. If discreet behavior on his part could ensure it there would be no conflict provoked with superior numbers; with numbers, moreover, composed of violent- tempered and unprincipled perse?' cutors who were already acting with but the merest shadow of legal authority. On the seat of the second wagon, whip in hand; was perched Giles Rae, his coat tKittoned warmly to the chin. He was slight and feeble to the eye, yet he had been fired, to new life by the certainty that now they were to leave the territory of the persecuting Gentiles for a land to be the Qalnta' very own. His son stood at the wheel, giving him final directions. At the gate was Prudence Corson, gowned for travel, reticule in hand, her prettineas shadowed, under the scoop of her bonnet, the toe of one trim little hoot meditatively rolling a pebble over the ground. "Drive slowly, Daddy. Likely I shall overtake you before you reach the ferry. I want but a word yet with Prudence; though"—he glanced over at the bowed head of the girl—"no matter If I linger a little, since Brother Seth will cross first and we must wait until the boat comes back. Some for there are two ways open—one right and one wrong; but I cannot sell my soul so early. That's why I wanted to say the last good-by out here. I was afraid to say it in there— I am so weak for you, Prue—I ache so for you in all thiB trouble—why, if I could feel your hands in my hair, I'd laugh at it all—Vm so weak for you, dearest" She tossed her yellow head ever so slightly, and turned the scoop of her bonnet a little away from his painlighted face. "I am not complimented, though— you care more.for your religion than for me" He looked at her hungrily. "No, you are wrong there—I don't separate you at all—I couldn't—you and my religion are one—but, if I must, I can love you in spirit as I worship my God in spirit—" 'If it will satlBfy you, very well!" "My reward will come—I shall do a great work, I shall have a Witness from the sky. Who am I that I should have thought to win a crown without taking up a cross?" "I am sorry for you." "Oh, Prue, there must be. a way to save the souls of such as you, even In their blindness. Would God make a flower like you, only to let It be lost? There must be a way. I shall pray until r force it from the secret heavens." "My soul will be very well, sir!" she retorted, with a distinct trace of aa- "Ocod-by, deHfcg!' two bloefs seen fit to reveaKto <*£ese good men.

"As if you needed to wait for me when I am here now ready for you, willing to be taken!" "Don't, don't, dear! There are two of me now, tad one cant stand the pain. Them is'*a man ih me, sworn to do a man's work like a man, and duty to God and the priesthood has big chains around his heart dragging it across ^ the river.

A few paces on he met Capt. Girnway, iawrty, debonair, smiling, handsome in his brass-buttoned uniform of the Carthage Grays. "I ha,ve just left the ferry, Mr. Rae.

With a tetf-smothered-''thank you," he passed on, not trusting himself to say more to one who was not only the enemy of his .people, hut bent, seemingly, on deluding a young woman to the loss of her soul. He heard their voices in cheerful greeting, but did not turn back; With eyes to the front and shoulders squared he kept stiffly on his way through the silent, deserted streets to the ferry. Fifteen minutes' walk brought hiia to the now busy waterside'. The ferry, a fiat boat propelled by long oars, was landing when he came into view, and he saw his father's wagon driven on. He sped down the hill, pushed through the crowd of soldiers standing about, and hurried forward on the boat to let the old man know he had come. But on the seat was another than his father. He recognized the man, and called to him. "What are you doing there, Brother Keaton? Where's my father?" The man had shrunk back under the wagon-cover, having seemingly been frightened by the soldier?. _ "I've taken your father's place. Brother Rae.rt "Did he cross with Brother Wright?" - »Yes—he—" The man hesitated. Then came an interruption from the shore. "Come, clear the gangway there so we can load! Here are some more of the damned rats we've hunted out of their, holes!" The speaker made a half-playful lunge with his bayonet at a gaunt, yellow-faced specter of a man who staggered on to the boat with a child in his arms wrapped in a tattered blue quilt. A gust of the chilly wind picked his shapeless, loose-fitting hat off as ho leaped to avoid the bayonet-point, and Lis head was seen to be shaven. The crowd on the bank, laughed loud at his clumsiness and at his grotesque head. Joel Rae rah to help him forward on the boat. "Thank you, brother—I'm Just up from the fever-bed—they shaved my head for it-and so 1 lost my hat-* thank you—here we shall be warm If only the sun cornea out" Joel went back to help on others who came, a feeble, bedraggled dozen or so that had clung despairingly to their only shelter,.. until they were driven out _ , •». "You can stay here'In safety, you know, if you renounce Joseph Smith and his works—they will give you food and shelter.'' He repeated it to each little group of the dispirited wretches as they staggered past him, but they replied staunchly by word or look, and one man, in the throes of a chill, swung his cap and uttered a feeble "Hurrah for the new Zion!" (TO BE CONTINUED.) LEARNED LESSON TOO WELL Reporter Went to Extremes In Deal re for Caution. "My boy," said the editor of the Billsvllle Bugle to the new reporter, "you lack caution. You must learn not to state things as facts until they are proved facts—otherwise you are very apt to get us into libel suits. Do not say the cashier who stole the funds;' say 'the cashier who is alleged to have stolen the funds.' That's all now, and—ah—turn in a stickful about that second ward social last night" Owing to an influx of visitors, it was late in the afternoon before the genial editor of the Bugle caught a glimpse of the great family daily. Halfway down the social columns his eye lit on the following cautious paragraph: "It is rumored that a card party was given last evening to a number of reputed ladies of second ward. Mrs. Smith, gossip says, was the hostess, and the festivities are reported to have continued until 10:30 in the evening. It is alleged that the affair was a social function given to the ladies of the 8econd Ward Cinch club, and that, with the exception of Mrs. James BllwUUger, who says the comes from Leavits Junction, none but members were . present. The reputed hostess insists that coffee and wafers alone were served as refreshments. "The Smith woman claims to he the wife of John Smith, the so-called 'Honest Shoe Man/ of 315 East State street." Shortly afterward a whirling mass, claiming to be a reporter on the Bugle, flew 15 feet into the street and landed with what bystanders assert was a dull, sickening thud.—-Puck. Deaf and Dumb 8trikers* Remarkable was a strike of deaf and dumb workmen in Australia. These silent workers had a strong union, and when they gathered If the street around the beleaguered factory and excitedly began to wriggle their fingers at each other the sight was worth seeing. It is said that much unlawful and riot provoking language was used without one word being spoken. It would be easier for most people to do their duty if they could be made to suspect that they ought to be doing something else.

[Original.] "The romance, the coincidence—indeed, all the material for story telling that took place In the civil war—Is or : was inexhaustible," said the veteran When pressed for a reminiscence. "I have a story that happened to a friend of mine, but before 1 tell it I'm going to tell you au lucldeut that happened to myself, for without the first I ' wouldn't have believed the last I i bivouacked on a farm -In Tennessee I one night In 1862 and noticed a coun- { try girl looking at me, as I thought j curiously. We marched in the morn- ; lag, and soon after I was transferred to another field 1,000 miles away. Two years later I was back In Tennessee!**1 where the conditions were all changed, j One day we were pushing the Johnnies, and at a certain spot I noticed . something familiar. A countryman who was talking with me recognized me and told me that I was on the j farm on which I had bivouacked two j years before. Then he told something ' about the girl that I wouldn't like to repeat." "Oh, go ahead!" "No; I'll tell you the other story. The one I've told you is true, for it ! happened to myself. The one I'm go- ! Ing to tell happened to Bill Havens, a man in my company, and I know he wouldn't lie. You see, we were shifting all the time and never could tell whom we were going to run up j against. And the girls—I mean the ' country girls—If they saw their fate ( or affinity or whatever you like to call I him they would drop as If struck by a j bullet. ! "Bill Havens was a handsome young , fellow with a devil-may-care smile ! that would drop any girl. One day when our skirmish.line was feeling for the enemy we stood at rest near a farmhouse, on the gallery of which were a couple of girls. Bill sang out: 'Hurrah! We're going to have a Jolly fight)' One of the girls turned pale, j but she gave Bill a look that I could | not quite .'ret out of my mind for some . time. I wished she'd given it to me. j "The Johnnies weren't where we , thought they were and we didn't have j to fight after all. We went into camp near by and didn't move for a week. Meanwhile Bill had made the acquaintance of the girl who had looked at him and though he said nothing about it I knew there was a love affair going on. She couldn't have been more than seventeen—Bill was only nineteen him- j self—wore her skirts to the top of her : boots and her hair cut square around > her neck, as most of the young south- j era girls then wore the hair. I knew ; it wis a bad case of love fever, for when we broke camp and moved on ! down south the girl was standing on the gallery and I saw her with my own eyes drop in a heap just as Bill's waving handkerchief passed out of sight. "You must remember that the war lasted four years, and all that time the armies kept moving here and there, back and forth, places often occupied by the Johnnies and rebs successively. I remember entering a beautiful southern town in 'G2 and was impressed with the magnificent trees that surrounded It. I went into the same place a year later after the Confederates had occupied It and every tree had been cut down to give a clear sweep for artillery. I would never have knowu I was in the same place. "Well, about a year and a half after we had camped near the farmhouse where Bill met the girl we went through one of the biggest battles of the war. After it was over the Confederates withdrew, as they usually did, and leaving men to piok up the wounded and bury the dead we went on after them. Bill Havens was among the missing. He was never accounted for till he accounted for himself nearly three months afterward, and this is the account he gave. You needn't believe it unless you want to, but there were stranger things than even this happened in that war. "During a charge Bill had fallen, pierced by a bullet In the chest He kept his consciousness for awhile amid a din of firing, then fainted from loss of blood. The next thing he was con- ' 8cious of was hearing a bird singing and not another sound. The army had moved on; the men left to bury the dead and succor the wounded had moved on, too, leaving Bill lying under bushes where they hadn't seen him. i Death seemed only put off. It might ; be years before his body would be ' found. j "Now I'm going to leave Bill to starve ' to death or die of his wound and twist my story to the girl he had met long before. She was sitting on the gallery where she had last seen Bill, thinking about him, of course, when she heard something drop lightly on the steps before her. Looking down she saw a gold watch chain with a piece of white paper tied to it She picked It up and read the paper. «It was written In blood and read: 'Union soldier dying. Help.' "She didn't wait to speculate on how the chain eot there: she knew all about the oattte ami rusuea on on a semvi. calling 03 she wt^ii M '«** yUc he a:'J a faint answer, and going to the spot found the man sheJoved. "Bill had taken I7.a wutcU chum, uot.n piece of paper from hla pocket, brolcci off a twig and written the uie*sa:;e with his own blood. Then he raiumed it down his musket mid tired it ut mi angle."

May Make Binder Twine Governor Warner's visit to Michigan City, Ind., recently, to further acquaint himself with the practical value of the binder twine industry in connection with the employment of con* victs in the prisons of our state, makes it probable that legislative consideration will be given to that subject at the coming session. The binder twine market is now controlled by a combination or trust which enforces a price of eleven cents a pound. It is being made and so.d at nine cents a pound by prison au thonties, and the profit is good. Michigan lesislators will do well to give the binder twine subject all the con* sideration it would seem to deserve. Inasmuch as it does not compete with any established Michigan industry and would not be objected to by the representatives of any of the trades or labor associations, it would seem desirable from every point of view.

Without that the Heart-must continue to fail, and the stomach and kidneys also have these same controlling nerves. This clearly explains why, as a medicine, Dr. Shoop's Restorative has In the past done so much for weak and ailing Hearts.

ROBERT STUART MAC ARTHUR Pastor Calvary Baptist Church, Mew York. The Christmast i d e celebrates the birth-festival of our Lord. The i, incarnation o f Christ is the central thought in the history of the world. It is the e v e n t around which all other events revolve in smaller or larger circles. All the great facts of history previous to His coming had reference to His advent; all the events since look back to that advent as the beginning of a new era. All lines of previous history converge to the manger and the cross; all lines of history since diverge from these two epochal events. The birth of Christ was the beginning <?f a new race, and the observance of that birth is still the jubilee of this new race. Angels Joined in the advent of Christ. wJtb jtfolo and choral song as He left the •osom of the Father to become the child of Mary in the manger at Beth* lehem. This festival is still the most joyous feast of the church. It makes childhood more beautiful and glorious, and it lightens, the burdens of age and sorrow with its tender memories and its triumphant prophesies. In the chill of midwinter in no/th^rn climes it kindles a fire of hop* and joy in even* home-: and heart. *t is prophetic of the golden age when Christ shall -vjrue again, when evil shall bo overthrown, and when - the song* of a redeemed humanity shall sweep over the universe. By the gifts which characterize this season we commemorate God's great Gift, the unspeakable gift of His Son to a world lost in sin and wandering In darknen. No one can rightly estimate the blessings which flow every year to all classes and conditions of men from the tender memories and gentle charities called forth by the remembrance of the Holy Child, Jesus. His birth has exalted the poetry, the music and the art of toe centuries. It has changed all social customs and religions rituals. It has given a new glory to human life and a new trend to eternity. This is the time when all bitterness should be forgotten, ail family feuds reconciled and all life glorified. It is unspeakably sad that In the name of Jesus Christ Russian murderers are slaughtering the Jewish people, the ancient and historic race which gave us the Christ It is a cause for profound humiliation that superstition, bigotry and virtual idolatry still abound under the shelter of the Christian name. But, marvelous and blessed as was the Incarnation of Christ, we know neither the day, the month nor the year when it took place. Dionysius the Small, about the year A. D. 526, fixed the birth of Christ in the seven hundred and fifty-fourth year of Rome; but all scholars know that he was in error by at least four years. We, know that Jesus was born before the death of Herod the Great; and we know that Herod died about the first of April in the year 750 6f Rome. It Is not too much to say that in all probability Chrtst was born four or five years before the dale usually given; so that this present year ought to be 1910 or 1911. There is no doubt thai the selection of the 25th of December as the day and the month was due to the existence of heathen festivals about that season of the year. The Christmas observance is thus a transfiguration of such heathen festivals as Saturnalia, Juvenalia and Brumalia. These were observed in the month of December to commemorate the golden age of universal freedom and in honor of the unconquered sun. There was a beautiful significance in the symbolic reference to the turning of the sun after the 25th of December. The natural sun thus began a new career and was illustrative of the birth of Christ as the Sun of Righteousnes and the Light of the World. The 20th of May and the 20th of April were once observed as the birthday of Christ. The 6th of January was also observed as the date of both His birth and His baptism. The day, the month and the year of His birth will never be known. It was vastly more important that we should know Christ as spiritual Lord and Master rather than thai we should know Him after the flesh. "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. "AND A LITTLE I CHILD SHALL LEAD T H E M " ' REV. JOHN TALBOT SM ITH, LL. D. President Catholic Summer School of America. The entire meaning of the festival of Christmas is contained in these words. It is the festival of the children, because on this day God the Son, the Second Person of t h e Blessed Trinity, took upon Him humau nature in the shape of a helpless and beautiful child. Various meanings have been read into the celebration of the nativity of Christ—the humanitarian regards it as the proper placing of the human individual in the economic system; the mere materialist looks upon it as the protest of infant right against adult might; the It as the emphasis of nature upon the necessity of^traiaina: properly th# ndxt generation: the; sentimentalist sees in it a nooW tribute to the beau* ty and lnnocenoT of the child.

Therefore the monumental truth of modern -civilization is expressed' tn the text: And a little child shall lead them. The entire meaning of the festival of Christmas is contained in these words. It is the festival of the children, because on . this day God; the Son, the Second Persoa of the Blessed Trinity, took upon Him human nature in the shape of a helpless and beautiful child. Various meanings iyT A Message of Peace in the Christmas Season Bv RT. REV. DAVID HUMMELL G RBXX Coadjutor Bishop of New York. The Christmas season comes with i t s message of peaceL-lo_a_world torn and rent with many divisions, a world in which t h e r e is much strife. This strife is to be allayed and. these divisions healed not by any. process of statutory enactment, but by that spirit of brotherly love and kindness which takes possession of the human heart at Christmastide. Just so far as that spirit continues regnant in the hearts of men throughout the year will the Christmas, season be prolonged ana continue to give its blessings to mankind. Perhaps one lesson which the Christmas season teaches above a)l others is that, in order to enter the kingdom of peace and happiness, we must become as a little child. And Jet that appealing love which the little child inspires become a persisting force in our lives! I once saw all the traffic In Fifth avenue stopped by a little child. Its mother was wheeling it across the street in its baby carriage and in the middle of the thoroughfare, crowded with vehicles of all kinds, she became panic-stricken and did not know what to do or which way to turn. But, suddenly, all the drivers reined in their horses, all the chauffeurs stopped their automobiles, and all the teamsters palled up their trucks—the traffic of the busy avenue had been brought to a standstill by a little child. So will the noise and the strife and the confusion of the world be arrested and checked by the little Christmas Child. Sure To Be Appreciated.

In 1896 Christopher Shaffmaster, a wealthy retired Brrmsoa township faroier", Made a wilL leaving the larger part of his property to his wife, the balance going to a son and daughter. For over 10 years he e-nffered from a malignant cancer tn his face, dying last June. His will when read was found to have-a elans* added in 1905 practically tutting out bis former bequests to his wife, leaving her the use of the village residence and of 80 acres of land without buildings so long as she remained his widow. At her death the daughter was to get the property, while the son got $16,000 to $17,000. Mrs. Shaffmaster, 70 years of age, was surprised at the announcement, and immediately began a contest which resulted in the jury sustaining the wUl. Net a Vslid Marriage, About three weeks ago Frederick Jenderreeke and May Fulton were married in a den of lions as an attraction for a Saginaw theater. It now transpires that the marriage was void, the bride already having one husband at-the time, from whom she says she thought »h* was divorced. "Miss" Fulton, who Is but 19, married Alonso Broughtott'ln St. Charles two years ago. He deserted her, she says, soon afterward going to Pennayl* vsnta and this fall he brought suit for divorce. 8he was notified a month ago of the suit by service,- but mistook the notice for an actual .decree granting her a divorce. Yesterday In the circuit court she disclosed the facts and the couple, who are Jiving here, will have to be married over again. MICHIGAN IN BRIEF.

"Tow hail better not call him that to hie face," tartly retorted Instructor Pickle, Nim's assistant. "I willy and you may tell him to," the professor replied. The peace conference was adjourned. Pickle hunted up Reed. "I will whip you the first time I have a chance," said Reed to Nlms when they met .in the hall, shaking his fist under his professor's nose. "What will I be doing all the time you are 'whipping' me?" the professor coyly inquired. They met at 5 o'clock outside the college grounds, a few words were passed and they clinched.

Thieves Shot and Run. ; Lying in wait for a gang of thieves Who have been robbing freight cars in the vicinity of Ann Arbor of late, Sheriff Dull and two of his deputies brought about a lively exchange of shots with the thieves about 7 o'clock last night. *jofai "slayer;^-farmer, 11 v ing near the Pere Marquette tracks just outside of town, reported to the sheriff that he had found concealed in his barn a quantity of goods in small package*, evidently placed there by the freight car thieves. The officers planned an ambush, but it was spoiled when one of the trio of suspects detected the officers drawing down upon them through the darkness. They broke and ran, the officers firing at them, without hitting anybody. The thieves returned the fire, with a like result. The goods have been removed to the jail, and the sheriff's force is trying to track the thieves. Pound Parents Dead. Mr. and Mrs. Tahlmeier were found dead in their home by their daughter, Mrs. Joseph Kaul, who lives in the country east of Saginaw, and who came for a visit. The post-mortem showed death the result of asphyxiation i from carbonic acid gas, presumably from a coal stove, the magazine of which was clogged. It is believed they met death on Friday night, the 7th, when they were last seen alive. Mrs. Kaul found her father lying on his back in bed, undressed and apparently sleeping. Mrs, Tahjmeier, partly dressed and with a blanket thrown over her shoulder, was kneeling by the bedside, as if in.prayer^. ; The. authorities believe Mrs. Tahlmeier was awakened* when nearly overcome by the deadly fumes, and finding her husband lifeless by her side sought tokeecape, but got no farther than to tire deerj sinking down from weakness and the exerttan. c ATTRACTION* OF WjMTtRN .CANADA. < » r"; •• ! * * * ' • • * * » < • , h • The ma&aer in which foe Canadian West has attracted setters in recent years has caused many of onr Journals and public men to "sit up and take notice," to use a current phrase. From every European country and from almost every State in the Union large number of settlers have flocked to the prairie provinces of Canada, where free homesteads and wide opportunities are open to ail who desire to avail themselves of them. The greatest factor in attracting settlers lies la the inherent richness of soil and suitability of climate for producing what is universally considered to be the finest wheat in the world—the "No. 1 Hard" of Canadian growth—and other cereals that rank in the very first dais. This year the harvest returns were: Wheat, W,- 000,000 bushels; oats, 70,000,000 bushels; barley, 17.000,000 bushels; and when it Is considered that the entire population of the three provinces—as evidenced by the quinquennial census Just completed—is only 810,000, it is easily seen that the lure of the Canadian West Is in its agricultural potentialities. Another feature which attracts the settler is that railway construction is proceeding with such rapidity that almost every district is within easy reach of outside markets, and that good prices for all lines of farm products rule practically from the commencement of agricultural operations. This is a factor which did not prevail when the earlier settlements in the West were made in Canada and in the United States, and has given a great impetus to Canadian Western settlement in recent years. The free grant system of homesteads which prevails in the prairie provinces, by which every settler who is able and willing to comply with the conditions of actual settlement (by no means onerous) is given 160 acres free, except $10 for entry, is a great drawing card, and in the last fiscal year gathered in over 189,000 additional to _the_we8tern population, of which 57,796 were from the United States. The further fact, as is strongly brought about by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere, that a splendid common school system, practically free, prevails throughout the entire country, and Is easy of access in even the most remote districts, is another great inducement to the settler who has the future welfare of his family In mind, and this, coupled with the fact that western Canadian law and order are proverbial, completes a circle of good and sufficient reasons why the tide of immigration has set in so steadily toward the country to the north of our boundary line.

He had been in Ashland and started to drive home. His horse stepped on a nail and he put the animal in a stable. Then he started to walk home and was on the mountain when the cries of a. wildcat alarmed him. A few minutes later he saw the beast ten feet In front of him. The animal finally sprang. He jumped aside and as the body of the cat struck the road be leaped upon It. For several minutes the fight between the wild animal and the man went on. At length by a quick swing he broke the animal's back. A physician dressed the several deep scratches on his face and bands, but otherwise he was uninjured, T R Y I N G E X P E R I E N C E .

The Evils of Constipation. are many; In fact almost every serious illness has its origin in constipation, and some medicines, instead of preventing constipation, add to it. This is true of most cathartics, which, when first used, have a beneficial effect, but the dose has to be continually increased, and before long the remedy ceases to have the slightest effect There is one preparation, however, that can be relied upon to produce the same results with the same dose, even after fifty years' daily use, and this is Brandreth's Pills, which has a record of over 100 years as the standard remedy for constipation- and all troubles arising from an impure state of the blood, Brandreth's Pills are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used; >and are for sale everywhere, either plain or sugar-coated.

Gathering half a hundred or more gray squirrels, Mr. Goodyear taught them to go into the woods and pick up nuts, carrying them to his home. On Thanksgiving night at a dinner his guests noticed a small board* running from a window to a nut bowl. The host gave one knock on the table with his knife. A squirrel hopped down the plank and dropped a chestnut into the bowl. Two raps brought a squirrel with a walnut three knocks a sheiibark. Finally, a grave old squirrel took his place and cracked the nuts, winding up the performance by brushing off the crumbs with his thick bushy, tail. , T O R T U R E D W I T H ECZEMA. the next several wtsntn* every**** that hag bo* dorini the growing season.

For four months or so I suffered torments, and I had to scratch, scratch, scratch, -until I bled. At night when I went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until I was as sore as could be, and until I suffered excruciating pains. They told me that I was suffering from eczema. The*n-1 made up my mind that I would use the Cuticura Remedies. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed I was greatly relieved.

' M. 8. SWABTHOUT, P. If. A Narrow Escape Saturday, while feeding the corn crusher at the mill, Floyd Peter, son of F. M. Peters proprietor, had bis hand caught and but for the prese.ee of mind and prompt action of young Shackelton who works l^ere, in throwing off the belt, his t>rm would have been cbrushed and perhaps his life crushed out.

Although everyone was out late the eveniner before, there was a large attendance Sunday morning to listen to the Christmas sermon and it proved to be an excellent one and was much appreciated. The evening service was not largely attended bat those present listened to a sermon that should prove of great good, not only to themselves but to those about i them. The attendance at the Sunday school was excellent, 97 be*ng present. It was voted to hold the annual e.ec* tion of officers next Sunday so that tbe new officers and teachers could begin the first ot the year. A little more ljbe winter the past week—some zero weather.

Harvard won from Yale at chess and President Eliot talks of'abolish' 'ing all other sports at Cambridge. A Binghampton preacher thinks he lias solved the riddle of the sphinx. All right, then, how old was Ann? Queen Alexandra, who was born In 1S44, is not only a good hut a brave queen. She atiti celebrates her birthday. According to" Walter Wellman the <bnly way to reach the pole is by balloon. Either that or by way of the magazines. This is the time of year when the rabbit doesn't know whether the morrow's sun win rise upon him as Bunny or Hassenpfeffer. Unfortunately science produces nc evidence tending to show whether Niagara Falls was put on earth for business or pleasure. Sir Thomas Lipton makes a hand some defense of American hotels. But Sir Thomas was a favored guest when he stopped m them. By putting up the earth as a stake for one to win and having the millions of men compete, opportunity would etill be equal, if not reasonable. The Harvard professor of international law who becomes Grand Vizier to the ruler of Siam will develop into a literal power behind the throne. In attempting to shoot a man the other day a New York woman wounded two innocent bystanders—at least, they claimed that they were innocent. In these days of piping prosperity even a poor man lives high, unless he has been quoted a line of produce prices not accessible to the general public. The horse enjoys^ a certain advantage in the fact that the automobile accident is more spectacular and therefore more talked about than the ordinary runaway. A Chicago woman wants a divorce because her husband prefers listening to a phonograph rather than her conversation. Her conversation must be something fierce, remarks the Washington HeraM. The Fort Edwards, N. Y., man who advertise! lor a wife who shall weigh 200 pounds or better, and be no society butterfly, evidently intends that there shall be no mistaking the meaning of his specifications. A magazine asks: "What implement can equal the hairpin in the deft hands of a woman." That's easy. A note, written in a delicate, feminine hand, found in her husband's vest pocket, will beat it every time. A Baltimore newspaper announces that a prize performing flea which escaped from one of the theaters of the city had been captured. Thereby have been removed the apprehensions of those who witnessed its last exhibition. The shah o f W r t u a has just bestowed upon an American piano manufacturer the brilliant decoration of the Order of the Lion and the Sun. Some time ago the sultan of Turkey gave the same gentleman a decoration of similar character. There seems to be no doubt of the power of American piano music to soothe the Mohammedan breast. Owing to considerable distress prevailing in many agricultural districts, writes Consul-General B. H. Kidgely. Df Barcelona, the purchasing power of the Spanish peasants has been greatly curtailed. In former years a large trade was done throughout Spain in bleached linen and'linen yarns. No household, however humble, but Dwned its set of linen sheets, which formed part of the dowry of every peasant girl on her wedding day. On account of the greater cost of linen, which has placed it among the list of luxuries, this once important branch of trade had dwindled down to an insignificant figure. Public opinion in England has killed the soap combination, says the Philalelphia Ledger. Notwithstanding the workings of the "irresistible economic, law of combinatiop" the protests of the trade and of the public have been to positive and so emphatic that the power of $60,000,000 capital was impotent to stand up against them. The refusal of the retailers to "sell and of :he public to buy a product, however meritorious, which bore the "trust taint" was too much for the promoters, and they have announced that, they have found their plan of; economic combination "unworkable l i d that It baa been terminated. SIDE LIGHTS CARL MENDE, DI8HEARTENED BY LIFE'S MISFORTUNES, ENDED ALL. BY SUICIDE AND MURDER Latest Theory of the Saginaw Trag edy—Lansing Man Fired the Houae for Revenge On Hit Wife. Life Was a Failure. The mysterious death by poisoning of Carl Mende and his wife in Saginaw and the serious illness of their son, aged 12, are" now believed to have been the result of a suicide and murder plot on the part of Mende, either due to hereditary insanity or despair over his failure to carve out a successful career- Two months ago, after falling in the Lutheran ministry, he returned to newspaper work, which he had followed early in life, and became editor of the German paper, the Staats Zeitung. His work did not suit the management, lacking adaptation to his duties, and his contract was cancelled two weeks ago. Of aristocratic parentage in Germany, high spirited and sensitive, he was greatly depressed over his failure in life and felt keenly the plight of his family which he could foresee when their savings were exhausted. It is believed while In this frame of mind Mende decided he would end his own life and not leave those he loved best to be buffeted by the world. That there is insanity In his family is shown by the fact that his eldest son is confined la a private insane aeyhun la Wisconsin. Believed to Be Insane. Uoyd Bailey, candymaker, aged 35, confessed to the Lansing police that he set fire to the home of his fatherin- law, W. L. Sharp, in which was sleeping his young wife, who had begun divorce proceedings against him. His attorney believes him insane. By his use of kerosene one of the rear doors became ablaze and the flames were gaining headway inside, when one of the occupants was awakened by smoke and all rushed from the $iouse, summoning neighbors, by whose aid the fire was extinguished. Owing to his previous conduct Bailey was suspected and was arrested. After quarrels with his father-In law and his wife, whom he married when sho was but 15, Bailey one'night threw a beer bott?e through a window of the Sharp home, narrowly missing his wife and their week-old baby. For this act he was sentenced to 90 days in the Detroit house of correction, but his wife secured his release from Gov. Bliss when their baby died. Threw the Baby Out. "The baby waa mine; I threw Jt out the window. I was scared." Lellia Guyette, aged 16, thus ad* dressed the Flint officers when questions were put to her as she lay in her bedroom in the presence of her mother. She tearfully related that her baby was born between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock Sunday morning, and that she was alone in the room at the time, although her mother was asleep in a room adjoining. Her mother disclaims any knowledge of the affair whatever and was grief stricken and durafounded when the girl told her story. Whether the girl-mother will be held criminally responsible for the death of the child will not be known until the doctors who conducted the postmortem make their report. One Succeeded. Two Grand Rapids citizens made up their minds they were tired of life Monday night but only one succeeded In committing suicide. The body of Peter Hoogland was found hanging in a grape arbor. He was about 60 years of age, despondent over the actions of his son-in-law. who whipped, him one day last week, it is alleged. Neighbors hint at foul play, but so far the police have found nothing to back their opinions. Mrs. Anna Woodman swallowed morphine and carbolic acid in a fit of jealousy. A neighbor, who came in. found some eggs and milk, which she kept giving the patient until doctors arrived. She was terribly burned by the acid and for two hours lay in a stupor from the morphine. She wll' probably recover. May Be a Fake. The "shooting affray" at the Watervliet depot, where Fred Bllnkhorn Is said to have been narrowly miased by a bullet through the wijndow, is said to have been a fake by the officers who have investigated It. They say that the course taken by the buHet was impossible if fired, as Is claimed by Blinkhorn, and the apparent unconcern of the operator, who is working in his old position, reading novels in his leisure time, the officers say, makes the fact certain in thai' minds. Killed by Runaway. Herbert Swann, aged 55, was thrown from his wagon in a runaway Monday evening and sustained injuries from which he died next day. He had been to Dlmondale, where he had drank heavily and when he mounted his wagon sea< the horses were fractious from standing in the cold. They ran most of the way, three miles, home and Swann was thrown out only $0 rods before they stopped. He was wellto- do and leaves a wldpw and five children. Revives in Morgue, Then Dies. Given up for dead and taken from a Grand Rapids & Indiana train as a corpse, Kenneth Frederickson, of Peioskey, was laid out in a Grand Rapids morgue ready to be placed in a casket. After lying there half an hour he suddenly came to life. It was only a temporary rally, and he'died shortly after in spite of medical assistance. The body was sent to Petoskey. He left home several months ago j and went to Colorado for his health, I a victim of tuberculosis, and he rapid- j ly failed. He sent to Petoskey Odd Fellows, telling them he wanted to '• come home to die. E. C. Labadie was! sent to bring him home. On the train | near Grand Rapids he apparently died, and the train was met by an undertaker's wagon. Fir"* o..a Working. '"An attempt to DUrn life..temporary high school building in Port Huron was made Tuesday. Prof. Mann no- j ticed smoke coming through the floor of his room. In the basement was found a blazing pile of rubbish, indi eating that the fire was of incendiary origin. The wires connecting the electric bells in the building were found cut. adding further to the suspicion that a determined effort was made to , destroy the building. It is now believed that the fire which destroyed the' old high, school building was of incendiary origin, although it was thought to be accidental at the time. There have been a number of minor fires of mysterious origin and they are now all believed to have been started by the same party. Died On the T r a i n . Death won in the race with M. J. Burke, an implement dealer of Port Huron, who tried hard to reach his home in a quick trip from Arizona. He died in a Pullman car, 40 miles from the city. Mr. Burke, who was only 30 years of age, went west last June to seek relief from tuberculosis. With his brother, Edwin, he camped out in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Recently he was told at Phoenix, Ariz., that the end was near, and he started home. Peter's Good Shoe. Peter Lankhuizin, in this country only a few months, used one of his old country wooden shoes to good advantage Saturday night. Peter lives in the outskirts of Holland and was returning home when he was stopped by two men, who demanded money. Peter grubbed off his wooden shoe and rapped one of the would-be highwaymen on the head. The fellow gave a yell and fell like a log and his partner ran away. The Hollander thought he had killed the man and went to get help. When he returned the robber had disappeared. Lake Vessels Made Money. Never before was so much money paid for carrying freight in lake vessels as during the season just closed. A rough estimate is $61,000,000 for coal, iron ore, grain and lumber. The share of this vast sum which found its way into the profit account of vessels was perhaps the largest in the history of the lakes. One of the ships showed a profit of 35 per cent on the insurance valuation. The despised old wooden steamers, which vesselmen thought three years ago were no longer of any value, have since paid in profits what they could have been sold for, and iheir owners have them yet. Several hundred letters, dated between November, 20 and November 22, were found torn open under a lumber pile near the Ann Arbor :*lepot in Cadillac. Powerful New Rifles. There are to be 100 of the new Springfield rifles, which the government ordnance department claims are the finest and most powerful in the world, Issued to the Michigan national guard, and two of them will be sent to each infantry company for use for target shooting. Later the rifles are to be secured for the entire brigade. This is the announcement of Col. W. G. Rogers, assistant quarter-mastergeneral, who returned yesterday from a trip to Washington and other eastern points. A Physical Wreck. Jacob L. Hisey, former treasurer and general manager of the Muskegon Milling Co.. was taken to Hackley hoBpital today a physical wreck and Is in a dangerous condition. Doctors are with him constantly. His sickness was brought on by constant worry over the company's affairs and the charge against him of obtaining money under false pretenses. J. A. Tuttle, of Menominee, hale and hearty at 82, has celebrated his second silver wedding. He has lived 25 years with each of two wives. His first, May Hodges, died in 1880, and In 1881 Mr. Tuttle married Marietta Glarkv Deaths in Michigan during November numbered 2,864, a decrease of 610 as compared with October.

THE LEGISLATURE. CAN DOCK CONGRESSMEN Old Law Dug Up W h i c h Cuts Pay of Absentees—May Sell Ziort City. Gov. Higgins, pf New York, commuted to imprisonment for life the sentence of death under which Albert T. Patrick has remained for nearly five years, since his conviction of the mufder of William MarBh Rice, the aged Texas millionaire, in New York city. In announcing the decision Gov. Higgins said: "It is not claimed that Patrick committed the murder in person, but that he procured the act to be done. He has been convicted principally upon the testimony of Charles F. Jones, who confessed that he murdered his master while he lay asleep, instigated thereto by Patrick, and Jones by this test! mony has purchased his own Immunity from trial or punishment. Three of the seven judges of the court of appeals were so strongly of the opinion that errors were committed at the trial that I feel that the death penalty ought not, under all the circumstances, to be Inflicted." Resolutions asserting belief in the innocence of Albert T. Patrick were adopted by the Medico-Legal society at its annual dinner in New York. The resolutions were based on a report by a special committee of experiments made in the use of embalming.fluids. The society calls upon Gov. Higgins to pardon Patrick. Docks Congressmen. Rep. Wesley Gaines, of Tennessee, who has been baoking the movement for an increase in the salaries of congressmen, recently introduced a bill providing that each member of congress be docked $13.70 for every day he is abaant without leave. It was discovered there is already a law, enacted in 1856, covering this point, which had never been enforced. Yesterday when the house was called to order less than 50 members were in their seats. Should all those absent without leave be docked $13.70, according to the law, the government would save about $4,192.20 on yesterday's expenses of running the government. Only SO' members had leave of absence*? ' Representative Lacey, of Iowa, took a pronounced position in opposition to the adjournment of congress for the Christmas holidays, declaring that "it is idiotic for the house to adjourn and then Jam art legislation through under whip and spur during the closing days." May Sell Zlon City. At a meeting of creditors of the Zion City estate in Zlon Tabernacle, Chicago, Receiver John C. Hately announced that conditions have reached a point demanding that Immediate arrangements be made for selling the entire property. Many of the creditors, he said, are in absolute i>overty as the result of having invested their all In "the kingdom." Others are approaching financial ruin. The creditors will vote oh the question of selling the property. To Order 5,000 Cars. The purchasing agent of the Pennsylvania railroad has invited bids for the construction of 5,000 box cars at an estimated cost of $6,000,000. This will make nearly 60,000 additional freight cars the company will have ordered within the past two years. It is not expected the cars will be delivered before the latter part of next year. Insurance Reformers Abolish Proxy. Among the strong features of the insurance bill which has been prepared by the Wisconsin legislative insurance investigating committee, and which will be presented at the coming session of the state legislature, is the abolition of the proxy system of voting. Celebrates 106th Birthday. Mrs. Elizabeth Stalker, of Williams burg, and a pioneer resident of Bla/r county, celebrated the 106th anniversary of her birth last night. Among the telegrams of congratulation she received was one from President Roosevelt. Canal Commission Reports. The report of the Isthmian canal commission, giving the progress of the work on the Panama canal in detail, the chief features of which were summarized in President Roosevelt's account of his trip, was submitted to congress. Book learning is about all a man needs in this world—providing he spends his time in Jail. The Catholic church will not get the money willed to it by Edwin Winters.

The election to fixed by statute for the second Tries' day of the month, which will fall th,to time on Tuesday, January 14. Gov. Warner's second inaugurat will take place about noon, Tues January 1, and Lieut.-Gov. Kelley the other state officers will be sw< In immediately afterward. In the ing a reception will be held and early in the evening the house members will caucus for the election of a speaker. Wednesday, noon, January 2, the houses of the legislature will meet faf the first time. Daring that session petition will be circulated calling t*W Republican members of the houses tJs* gether for a caucus on United Stats* senator. If this petition secures a Jorrty of the members of both houaaa, the call will issue. The date fixed will probably-be Wednesday evening, January 2. 9 s Thus the decks will be cleared of controversy the first week, before tha committees of either senate or hone* are appointed, and before organisation for business is completed. The housei will probably adjourn Thursday even; ing for a week, to permit the presieV ing officers to choose their committee*,' and then another adjournment will ba taken to allow committees on certain state Institutions to visit them. By January 14, when the formal work of electing a senator la to take place, th# strife will be largely forgotten.

(Copyright, 1M8, b / Lothrop Publiiiin* ~»* * CHAPTER V.—Continued. When they were all on with their meager belongings, he called again to the man in the wagon. "Brother Keaton, my . father went across, did he?" Several of the men on shore answered him- "Yes;' — "Old white-whiskered death's-head went over the river"— "Over here'r—"A sassy old codger he was"—"He got his needings, too"— "Got his needings—" They cast off the line and the oars began to dip. The confusion of landing and the preparations for an immediate start drove for the time all other thoughts from his mind. It had been determined to get the little band at once out of the marshy spot where the camp had been made. The teams were soon hitched, the wagons loaded, and the train ready to move. He surveyed it, a hundred poor wagons, many of them without cover, loaded to the full with such nondescript belongings as a house-dwelling people, suddenly put out on the open road, would hurriedly snatch as they fled- And the people made his heart ache, even to the deadening of his own sorrow, as he noted their wobegdneness. For these were the sick, the infirm, the poor, the inefficient, who had been unable for one reason or another to migrate with the main body of the Saints earlier in the season. Many of them were now racked by^ fever from.sleeping on the damp ground. These bade fair not to outlast some of the lumbering carts that threatened at every rough spot to jolt apart. Yet the line bravely formed to the order to Seth Wright as captain, and the march began. Looking back, he saw peaceful Nauvoo, its houses and gardens, softened by the cloudy sky and the autumn haze, clustering under the shelter of their temple spire— their temple and their houses, of which they were riow despoiled by a mob's fury. Ahead he saw the road to the wrest, a hard road, as he knew— one he could not hope they should cross without leaving more graves by the way; but Zion was at the end. "Only a short march to-day, brothers. Our camp is at Sugar Creek, nine miles—so take your time this first day." Near the head of the train were his own two wagons, and beside the first walked Seth Wright and Keaton, in low, earnest converse. As he came up to them the bishop spoke. "I got Wes* and Alec Gregg to drive awhile so we could stretch our legs." But then came a quick change of tone, as they halted by the road. "Joel, there's no use beatin* about the bush—them devils at the ferry jest now drowned your pa." He went cold all over. Keaton, looking sympathetic but frightened, •poke next. "You ought to thank me, Brother Rae, for not telling you on the other side, when you asked me. I know better. Because, why? Because I knew you'd fly off the handle and get yourself killed,, and then your ma'd be left all alone, that's why, now—and prob'ly they'd 'a' wound up by dumping the whole passle of us bag and baggage Into the stream. And it wa'n't any use, your father bein' dead and gone." The Bishop took up the burden, •Japping him cordially on the back. ••^ome, come—hearten up, 4 now! Youivpa's been made a martyr—he's beautified his inheritance in Zion— whlnin' won't do no good." He drew himself up with a shrug, as tt to th/ow off an invisible burden, and answered, calmly: 'Tin .not whining, Bishop. Perhaps ?o« kw§re right not to tell me over ^ Uon. I'd have made trouble •••frWi all." He smiled painfully in rt to control himself. CHAPTER V I . Tift Lute of the Holy Ghost 1« Further Chastened. I n a craze of rage and grief he turned toward the river, when he heard the sharp voice of the Bishop calH»g him hack. "It ain't anf use, Joel." " ,>> "Couldn't we find his bodyt" "Not a chance la a thmuwti* . It was carried down by the current. It would meat} days and mebbe weeks. Besides, we need ypu here. Here's your ,duty. Sakes aUvef If wo only had about 20 minutes with them cusses like it was in the ol 1 days! When you're ready to be a Sou of Dan you'll know what I mean. But never mind, well see the day yet when Israel will be the head and not the tail." "My mother? Has any one told her?" "Wai, now, I'm right sorry about that, but it got out before you come over. Tarlton McKenny's boy, Nephi, rowed over in a skiff and brought the news, and some of the women went and tattled it to your ma. I guess it upset her considerable. You go up and see her." He ran forward toward the head of the train, hearing as he went words of sympathy hurried to him by those ha passed. Mounting the wagon, he clinnbed over the seat to where his mother lay. She seemed to sleep In spite of the Jolting. The driver called back to him: "She took on terrible" for a spell, Brother Rae. She's only jest now got herself pacified." He put his hand on her forehead and found it burning. She stirred and moaned and muttered disjointed sentences. He, heard his father's name, his sister's, and his own, and he knew she was delirious. He eased her bed as well as he could, and made a place for himself beside her where he could sit and take one of the pale, thin hands between his own and try to endow her with some of his abunto bring that apothecary with him." The two came up briskly a few moments later, and he stood aside for them in an agony of suspense. The Bishop turned toward him after a long look into the wagon. "She's gone to be with your pa, Joel. You can't do anything—only remember they're both happy now for bein' together." It made little stir in the busy encampment. There had been other deaths while they lay out on the marshy river flats. Others of the sorry band were now sick unto death, and many more would die on the long march across the Iowa prairie, dropping out one by one of fever, starvation, exposure. He stood helpless in this chaos of woe, shut up within himself, knowing not where to turn. Some women came presently from the other wagon to prepare the body for burial. He watched them dumbly, from a maze of incredulity, feeling >*fcat srm? wretched pretense was being acted before ia'.vL. The Bishop and Keaton came up. They brought with them the makeshift coffin. They had cut a log, split it, and stripped off its bark in two half-cylinders. They led him to the other side of the wagon, out of [sight. Then they placed the strips of bark around the body, bound them with hickory withes, and over the rough surface the women made a little show of black cloth. For the burial they could do no more than consign the body to one of the waves in the great billowy land sea about them. They had no tombstone, nor were there even rocks lo "Let ihe Wrath of God Abide Upon 'Em.'* dant life. He stayed by her until their camping place was reached. Once for a moment she opened her eyes with what seemed to him a more than normal clearness and understanding and* memory in them. Though she looked at him long without speaking, she seemed to say all there was to say, so that the brief span was full of anguish for him. He sighed with relief when the consciousness faded again from her look, and she fell to babbling ouce more of some long gone day In her girlhood. When the wagon halted he was called outside by the driver, who wished instructions regarding the camp to be made. A few moments later he was back, and raised the side of the wagon cover to let in the light. The look on her face alarmed him. It seemed to tell unmistakably that the great change was near. Already she looked moribund. An irregular gasping for breath, an occasional delirious mutter;„ were the only signs of life. She was too weak to show restlessness. Her pinched and faded face was covered with tiny cold beads. The pupils of her eyes wero strangely dilated, and the eyes themselves were glazed. There was no pulse at her wrist, and from her heart only the faintest beating could be heard. In quick terror he called to a boy working at a wagon near by. "Go for Bishop Wright and tell him make a simple cairn. He saw them bury her, and thought there was little to choose between hers and the grave of his father, whose body was being now carried noiselessly down in the bed of the river. The general locality would be kept by landmarks, by the bearing of valley bends, headlands, or the fork and angles of constant streams. But the spot itself would in a few weeks be lost. When the last office had been performed,' the prayer said, a ps,alm sung, and the black dirt thrown in, they waited by him in sympathy. His feeling was that they had done a monstrous thing; that the mother he had known was somewhere alive and well. He stood a moment so. watching the sun sink below the far rim of the prairie while the white moon swung into sight in the east. Then the Bishop led him gently by the arm to his own camp. , ' There cheer abounded. They had a huge camp fire tended by the Bishop's numerous children. Near by was a smaller fire over which the good man's four wives, able-bodied, glowing and covdlah cooked the supper. In little ways they sought to lighten his sorrow or to put his mind away from it. He talked long with the Bishop when the women had. climbed into their wagon for. the night. He amazed that good man by asking him it the Lord would not he pleased to have them, now, as they were, go hack to Nauvoo and descend upon the Gentiles to smilje them. The Bishop counselled him to have patience. "What could we do now with these few old fusees and cheap arms that we managed to smuggle across—to say nothing of half of us being down sick?" "But we are Israel, and surely Israel's God—" "The Lord had his chance the other day if he'd wanted it, when they took the town. No, Joel, he means us to gether out and become strong enough to beat 'em in our own might. But you wait;, our day wil come, and all the more credit to us then for doin' It ourselves. Then we'll consecrate the herds and flocks of the Gentile and his store and basket, his gold and silver, and his myrrh and frankincense. But for the present—well, we got to be politic and kind of modest about such doin's. The big Fan, the Sons of Dan, done good work in Missouri and better in Nauvoo, and it'll do still better where we're goln'. But we must be patient. Only next time we'll get to work quicker. If the Gentiles had been seen to quicker in Nauvoo, Joseph would be with us now. We learned our lesson there. Now the Lord has unfurled a Standard of Zion for the gathering of Israel, and this time we'll fix the Gentiles early." "Amen! Brother Seth." A look of deep hatred had clouded the older man's face as he spoke. He continued: "Let the wrath of God abide upon 'em, and remember that we'e bein' tried and proved for a purpose. And we got to be more practical. You been too theoretical yourself and too high-flyin' in your notions. The kingdom ain't to be set up on earth by faith alone. The Lord has got to have works, like I told you b.baiit the other day." "You were right, Bishop, I need to be more practical. The olive branch and not the sword would Ephraim extend to Japheth, but if—" "If Japheth don't toe the mark the Lord's will must be worked . upon him!" "So be it, Brother Seth! I am ready now to be a Son of Dan." The Bishop rose from in front of their fire and looked about. No one was near. Here and there a fire blazed, and the embers of many more could be seen dying out in the distance. The nearest camp was that of the fever-stricken man who had fled on to the boat that morning with his child in his arms. They could see his shaven head in the firelight, and a woman hovering over him as he lay on the ground with a tattered quilt fixed over him in lieu of a tent. From another group came Ihe strains of an accordion and the chorus of a hymn. "That's right," said the Bishop. "I knew you'd come to it. I saw, that long ago. Brother Brigham saw it, too. We knew you could be relied on. You want the oath, do'you?" "Yes, yes, Brother Seth. I was ready for it this morning when they told me about father." "Hold up you£ right hand and repeat after me: " 'In the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, I do covenant and agree to support the first Presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in all things right or wrong; I will faithfully guard them and report to them the acts of all men as far as in my power lies; I will assist in executing all the decrees of the first President, Patriarch, or President of the Twelve, and I will cause all who speak evil of the Presidency or Heads of the Church to die the death of dissenters or apostates, unless they speedily confess and repent, for pestilence, persecution, and death shall follow the enemies of Zion. I will be a swift herald of salvation and messenger of peace to the Saints/ and" I will never make known the secret! purposes of this Society called the Sons of Dan, my life being the forfeiture in a fire of burning tar and brimstone. So help me God and keep me steadfast.'" * He repeated the words without hesitation, with fervor in his voice, and the light of a holy and implacable zeal in his face. "Now I'll give you the blessing, too. Wait till I get my bottle of oil." He stepped to the nearest wagon, felt under the cover and came back with a small bottle in his hand. ''Stand jest here—so—now!" They stood at the edge of the wav« ering firelight, and he put his hand on the other's head. " 'In the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and by the authority of the Holy Priesthood, the first President, Patriarch, and High Priest of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, representing the first, second and third Gods in Heaven, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, I do now anoint you with holy consecrated oil, and by the Imposition of my hands do ordain and set you apart for the holy calling whereunto you are called; that you may consecrate the riches of the Gentiles to the House of Israel, bring swift destruction upon apostate sinners, and execute the decrees of Heaven without fear of what man can do with you. So mote it be. Amen/ "There, boy, if I ain't mistaken, that's the best work for Zion that I done for some time. Now be off to your rest!" "Good night, Bishop, and thank you for being kind to me! The Church Poet called me the Lute of the.Holy Ghost, but I feel J;o-night that I must be another Lion of the Lord. Good night!" CHAPTER VII. Some Inner Mysteries Are Expounded. The hosts of Israel had been forced to tarry for the winter on the banks of the Missouri. A few were on the east side at Council Bluffs on the land of the Pottawattamie Indians. Across the river on the land of the Omahaa the greater part of the force hid settled at what was known as Winter Quarters. Here in huts of logs, turf, and other primitive materials, their town had been laid out with streets and byways, a large council-house, a mill, a stockade, and blockhouses. The Indians had received them with great friendliness, feeling with them a common cause of grievance, since the heaAy hand of the Gentile had pushed them also to this bleak frontier. To this settlement early in November came the last train from Nauvoo,, its members wearied and wasted by the long march, but staunch in their faith and with hope undimmed. If was told in after years how there had leaped from the van of this train a very earnest young man, who had at once sought an audience with Brigham | Young and certain other members of j the Twelve who had chanced to be 1 present at the train's arrival; and i how, being closeted with these, he had eagerly inquired if it might not be the will of the Lord that they should go no farther into the wilderness, but stand their ground and give battle to the Gentiles forthwith. He made the proposal as one who had a - flawless faith that the God of Battles would be with them, and he appeared to believe that something might be ! done that very day to force the mat- | ter to an issue. When he had made j his proposal, he waited in a modest I attitude to hear their views of it. To j his chagrin, all but two of those who , had listened laughed. One of these ! two, Bishop Snow—a man of holy aspect whom the Church Poet had felicltiously entitled the Entablature of Truth—had looked at him searchingly, then put his hand upon his own head and shaken it hopelessly to the others.

There was no false pride about Lucinda Madden and she had no illusions at the age of 46 when she accepted Hiram Gregg's offer of marriage. She was a hard-featured and sharp-tongued person, and she knew it. Also, however, she knew her capabilities as cook and housekeeper, and she was well aware that Hiram Gregg's slow wits and shiftless ways had made him anything but a favorite with the feminnc'porion of the village. She found-things to like in Hiram, by looking hard for them, but she proposed to keep him well in hand. "Well, Lucindy," said Hiram, one evening, two or three days before the wedding, '"here we are, going to be married, after all, both of us. I guess Lucindy, I'm about your first offer, ain't I?"

Napoleon's father was a toper, a man utterly lucking in moral sensibility. and his sisters were immodest and hysterical. According to Dr. Cabanas, Pauline was particularly so. Napoleon himself was exceedingly sensitive to atmospheric changes, was headachey and had auditory illusions. He had twitchings of the arms, the shoulders and the lips. He was at times the most irritable of men, often being unapproachable. His mania for destruction was such that he whittled pieee.; of furniture, broke articles presented to him, pinched babies while pretending to caress them and took keen delight in shooting Josephinevs rarest, , „ _ . ». , f , ™. ,. . ? . .... .., Announcements of entertainments mav be i>*i. b i r d s .

Suzanne trailed her fingers idly over the piano keys in a little impromptu prelude of troublous chords before she answered the query. : "I suppose it is," she said, crossly, "I'm sure I can't tell whether it's real antique or not. It looks old and dusty and is all covered with heavy carving, if you mean that sort of thing. Why, «e*?." she turned to the questioner •with sudden energy, "I wouldn't have thought a thing about it if he had shown it to me or even mentioned it. •He told me about everything else in the house, and I'd never have known a ! (thing about this if I hadn't told Nora I tp clean out that 'catch all,' as she j •calls it. at the turn of the garret stairs. *There is a large windowless space over the dining-room wing, and it was in there." "And locked," concluded Bess, positively. "Every drawer. I asked Nora how Jong it had been there, and she said it had come with Rob's trunks from home, while we were on our honeyandbn. I'm not a bit curious—" She paused. "Of course not," assented Bess warmly, "or suspicious." J'Only interested." Bess nodded her head wisely over "the interested sigh. "It is kind of mysterious, Bob's not [telling yott a word about it, and hiding it in thene out of sight, and then the It Was Bob. fact of it being locked shows that .someone didn't want it opened." As she gave her conclusive point of logic Bess r.rose. She was pretty and ipetite, with a decisive tilt to her chin, and the confidence of IS in her blue -eyes. "Of course, you'll do as you please, Sue. You always did. But if I had only been married a month and-had found a locked desk in my hou^Pthat I knew nothing of, I know what I'd do." Young Mrs. Sheldon left the piano with an impatient movement. She was tall and slender beside her sister, fcnd the indefinable charm of a bride was visible in her dainty negligee toilette of white crepon. "I believe absolutely in Bob," she declared. Bess raised her eyebrows and smiled mischievously. "Of course you do. It may be only some old love letters or souvenirs that he doesn't care to part with. Do you remember Adelaide Gifford?" "That was two years ago." Bess laughed. "Good-by, sis. Believe in Bob all you want to. He is a dear, and if it were l, I'd hunt a locksmith, all the same." Mr3. Sheldon stood at the .window and watched the small girlish figure as it vanished down the street among the fluttering snowflakes. It was dusk. The room was unlighted as yet, and a sudden sense of loneliness stole over her in the semi-gloom, the first she had experienced since the joyous wedding of a month ago. If the affinity of moods and colors were true, she was ,n harmony with the soft velvet gray of the twilight tone that was stealing aver the world. New Year's eve, and Bob away. The tears blinded her eyes. Of course, it was business, merely a flying trip to N'ew York for the firm, made all the more imperative by his neglect of business during the honeymoon, but she Telt a vague rebellion 1¾ her heart against even the aeparit'on of a few days. And there .was the locked desk. Bess* words and arguments ran cwiftly through her mind. Come t ? think, Bob had told her not to tire herself by rummaging while ho was away. Rummaging! That meant hunting In the garret and running the risk of discovering the desk. And Bess had spoken of Adelaide Gifford. There had been talk of a summer engagement, she remembered. Adelaide was older than Bob. Some way she had always blamed her for the romance, and had looked upon Bob as An Impressionable youngster. But if he had cherished her letters aud keepsakes, then he must have loved her. Adelaide was engaged to old Mr. Thurston now—Copper Thurston, the boys called him. Perhaps, after all, Bob had been jealous of the coppermade millions, and had married her in a fit of pique. She turned from the window with sudden determination. It lacked half an hour of dinner time. A lonely dinner for a bride, she thought, as she wont upstairs, her first New Year's eve. Perhaps by the time the midnight bells rang out she might be rifaking a few strange resolutions for the coming year. It was dark on the garret stairs. She stopped at the door of Bob's dressing- room and took a candlestick from the mantel. It was a wedding .gift—a Japanese bronze griffin, with outspread wings and spiral, sinuous tail. As she held it to the gas jet to light the candle something fell on the rug at her feet and she picked it up. It was a small, old-fashioned ordinary brass key. She looked at it hesitatingly. It had never been on Bob's ring, she knew. The space between the wings of the bronze griffin was a clever idea of concealment. She set her lips closely and went up the garret stairs with candlestick in one hand and the key in the other. Half way there was a turn at a small landing, and it was at the angle made by this that she had found the little low door leading to the "catch all." She opened it now and entered, half closing the door after her. . The desk was pushed to one side with some trunks and aboxes. It was a quaint, antique affair of mahogany, severely colonial in style. The main body was crescent-shaped, supported on hand-carved legs. There were four drawers, two on each side, and a small, low cabinet of pigeon-holes on top. Suzanne stood motionless before it fpr several minutes, trying to make up her mind to insert the key. When she did so, in the lock of the nearest top drawer, her hand trembled slightly and she held her breath. The key turned easily and the draw was ready for inspection, but she did not open it. Thoughts whirled like the fluttering snowflakes through her mind, and she stood again irresolute. She had told Bess that she believed absolutely in Bob. Higher than her love for him had been her unfaltering belief and confidence in him. It was the very keystone of her marriage faith, and yet, at the first blow of suspicion, it gave way. Bess was a child, with the impulsive judgment of a child. She had been wrong to even tell ner of the desk, wrong to discuss Bob or his motives with her at all, or to listen for an instant to any doubt of him, even in jest. She must have faith, and wait. He had probably locked the desk against the curiosity of the servants and had forgotten it in the hurry and excitement of the wedding. She must believe in him. The mere fact that they were married did not give her a coroner's right to hold a post-mortem over his dead past. There was the sound of a footstep on the stairs, and she relocked the drawer quickly. "I'll be down in a moment, Nora," she called. "You may serve dinner." The voice that answered was familiar and masculine. She nearly let the candle fall in her surprised recognition of it. "It's only I, Sue. What on earth a r t you doing In there?" She stood mute and motionless as he bent his head and entered the low door. It was Bob, and he was smiling and happy, his clear eyes seeking for the glad welcome he expected. "I only ran down for to-night," he added. "I couldn't let you face the first New Year alone, sweetheart." His arms reached for her, but she shook her head and handed him the key. "I haven't used it," she said, brokenly. "But, oh, Bob, I came so near it. You don't have to tell me what's in the old thing. I'll believe in you just the same, and I don't want to know." "Know what?" he demanded. "Don't cry, Sue." He drew her to him tenderly. "What's up, anyhow?" "That desk," she sobbed. "It's locked." "Is it?" He stared at the desk in bewilderment. "Well, the key was on my mantel, dear. You found it all right, didn't you? Couldn't you unlock it?" "I could, but—but I don't want to know your private affairs." She tried to draw herself away, but he took her hands and held them from her tearwet face so that he could see her eyes. "Sue, darling," he said. "You blessed little Mrs. Bluebeard, that desk is a wedding present to you from Grandmother. Hadleigh. It's been in the family since the year one, I guess, and there isn't a single thing in those drawers. It came the last minute the day we were married, and was so heavy aud unwieldy I told father to send it along with my things and have it put away somewhere until we came heme. And I laid the key in the griffin for safe-keeping. What did you think was in it?" But Suzanne silenced further questioning in her own effectual way. The keystone of her happiness was firm and immovable. But as they went downstairs to dinner she registered one New Year's vow in her heart. In the future she would let love laugh at locksmiths. fle hAtteni to repentance who ha»Uly judges.—Publtut Syrua. TO cvam A COLD i* owa S A T Take LAXATIVE BUOMOQuloioaTablaU.

Greeting The late Edward Atkinson used to tell the following story at his own expense: In his boyhood he was one of a number of boys who used to play ball on the Boston common, which was then against the law. At regular intervals old Erastus Clapp. the constable, would bear down upon the trespassers and put them to flight. The boys used to have great fun with this rather choleric old man—Disastrous Clapp the boys dubbed him. One day after Mr. Atkinson had grown up into a prosperous and respected business man, while passing along a Boston street in company with a friend, be recognized In a bent and wizened old man the likeness of his old acquaintance, Constable Clapp. Mr. Atkinson immediately addressed the old fellow. "Don't you remember me, Mr. Clapp?" he asked. The old man leaned on his stick and surveyed Mr. Atkinson coldly. "Naw," he finally answered, and started to hobble on. "Why, I'm Eddie'Atkinson, whom you used to chase off the common years ago." Clapp glared at him suspiciously, and finally put an end to the interview, much to the amusement of Mr. Atkinson's friend, by saying sharply: "Well, sir, no honest boy evej had cause to run from me." Luxury for Young Aristocrat. The duke of Bedford has presented Ix>rd Tavistock, his eldest son, with a silver-mounted motor car for his use while at Oxford university. Come to Congressman's Idea. Some years ago Lemuel Ely Qulgg, than a congressman, expressed the opinion that the police commissioner of New Yorl: city should be "an intelligent despot." The idea was ridiculed then, but - Mr. Quigg derives some satisfaction from the knowledge that the grand jury of New York county has made a recommendation approaching somewhat closely to his view. The commissioner, says the jury, should hold office for at least ten years and should be removable only upon proof of charges which he has had opportunity to meet. The Sunny South. Now when all outdoor farm work has ceased in the north, the term "sunny south" and all that it means, appeals with full force to the northern farmer as he realizes that with him it is a case of remaining indoors for the next several months consuming everything that has been produced during the growing season. In the "sunny south" something can be raised every month- in the year, and practically every day can be spent out doors. No blizzards. No sunstrokes. Cattle-raising is very profitable. Large profits are made with little labor in growing fruits, vegetables, etc., for northern markets. Strawberries and cantaloupes are great revenue getters. Water unsurpassed. Work plentiful. Lands cheap and productive. For reliable information, address G. A. Park. General Immigration and Industrial Agent, Louisville & Nashville Railroad Company, Louisville, Ky. Claim Nearly Cost Life. Fred McNulty, of this city, had a terrible experience while holding down a claim which he has several miles east of here. He went to the claim just before the big blizzard of last week. The weather previously had been mild, and McNulty had no store of fuel in the shack. The storm was so fierce that he could not make his way home, so he went to bed in order to keep from freezing, to death. For three days the storm raged, and Mc- Nulty lay covered up to his ears, without a bite to eat and only a small quantity of water. When at last the storm subsided he made his way to a neighbor's, a mile distant, freezing his face and ears while en route. When he finally reached Minot he was compelled to take to his bed as a result of his experience.—Miuo't Correspondence Duluth Herald. DISFIGURING SKIN HUMOR. Impossible to Get Employment, as Face and Body Were Covered with Sores—Cured by Cuticura. Give Her a Diary. A good Christmas present for a young wife is a nice diary. She will write in it every day for two weeks. Then such things as these will begin to crop out on its fair white pages: Recipe for waffles. Must get two yards ruching. Paid 12 cents to have teakettle mended. Don't forget lining for kimono. Sold old pair John's pants to ragman for 22 cents.

"Since the year 1894 I have been troubled with a very bad case of eczema which I have spent hundreds of dollars trying to cure, and I went to the hospital, but they failed to cure me, and it was getting worse all the time. Five weeks ago my wife bought a box of Cuticura Ointment and one cake of Cuticura Soap, and I am pleased to say that I am now completely cured and well. It was impossible for me to get employment, as my face, head and body were covered with It. Th6 eczema first appeared on the top of my head, and it had worked all the way around down the back of my neck and around to my throat, down my body and around the hips. It itched so I would be obliged to scratch it, and the flesh was raw. I am r now all well, and I will be pleased to recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all persons who wish a speedy and permanent cure of skin diseases." Thomas M. Rossiter, 290 Prospect Street, East Orange, N. J., Mar. 30, 1905. Bull Was Up to Date. "Good gracious," said the woman chauffeur, "that bull seems awfully angry, doesn't he?" • "It's your red automobile, ma'am," explained the farmer. She flushed and bit her lip. "1 know it is an old-fashioned 1904 model," she murmured, "but who'd have thought a stupid old country bull would notice that?" A Great Outside Remedy. Most pains are of local origin—a "crick" in the back, a twinge of rheumatism, a soreness all over arising from a cold—are all cured by outside applications. The quickest, safest and most certain method is Allcock's Plaster, known the world over as a universal remedy for pain. They never fail, they act promptly, they are clean and cheap. You can go right ahead with your work while the healing process goes on. Sixty years' use has given them a great reputation. The letter carrier expects everybody on his route to take things as they come. The American Adder. A full-grown adder may measure two feet in length and about sixjnehes around the thickest part of its body. Its movements are sluggish, and of course the universal Idea prevailing among the natives of this country that it is capable of transferring its head from one extremity to the other once every six months is due dimply to superstition. The fact is that the tail of this snake does not terminate in a point as with ophidians generally, but is stumpy and resembles the head so much that it is difficult for an observer situated at a distance of a few yards to distinguish the one from the other, hence the story of its being twoheaded, the fallacy of which no intelligent observer could fall to detect.— The Pioneer.

Consequently at this season the priests and people kept a sleepless vigil at the river's shore, watching for the miraculous rise which- should bring such riches to the whole land. When the "night of the drop" came, the priests cleared the altars of old ashes and lighted the sacred fires for the new year. Every one of the faithful carried a coal from the altar to light the fire at his own hearth, and from end to end the land was ablaze with light. The people put off their old garments and arrayed themselves in white, anointing their heads with sacred oil, crowning themselves with flowers and bearing palms in their hands, while chants and Bongs and fasting and processions filled the homes. Once is used to be very popular to give New Year's presents; but now so much more attention is paid to Christmas, and «very one receives so many lovely things then, that our American boys and girls cannot complain if they do not get presents a week later, as did their mothers and fathers. However, if they lived In France, New Year's day would be a great occasion, especially for girls, for there every man or boy gives some gift, no matter how small, to his friends. No one paying a call would think of going empty-handed, and little French girls at Bchool on the 2d of January count up how many presents they received, just as our girls do after Valentine's d a y . v '<• ''"'• * • •• • '> •'*•"'"> A favorite gtft Is candy.

No Changes Needed in the Brown Family* Proposed Resolutions Brought Emphatic Objections from Both Sides of House. "This is the new year," said Mrs. Brown, as she and Brown'sat down to dinner, "and perhaps we ought to make 'some little changes for 1907." "I am willing," he replied. "Yes, I have been thinking that I would make a few changes." "That is nice of you. You know that you swear and that I don't like It at all. It will be so sweet and kind and considerate to give it up for my sake." "Give up swearing! Not on your life!" "What, then, did you mean by change?" "Why, I have been allowing you five dollars per week as pm money, and I know that you simply fool most of it away. One of the'changes contemplated was to cut the,;-sum in half." "Samuel Brown!"." exclaimed the wife, as she knocked on her plate with her fork to emphasize her words, "don't make any mistake on your wife, May.

Like Many Others of Our Customs, They Were Imported from China. The custom of making New Year's calls, which had a long run in America, and is still extant, came originally from China, where such calls are one of the main features of the brilliant and lengthy New Year's celt ebration. Every Chinaman pays : a visit to each of his superiors, and receives one from each of his inferiors. Images of gods are carried in procession to the beating of a deafening gong, and mandarins go by hundreds to the emperor and that apparently much-maligned sovereign, the empress dowager, with congratulatory addresses. Their robes are gorgeously embroidered, and are heavy with gold. The younger people call upon the elder. Children call upon their parents. Pupils pay their respects to their teachers. A light collation is offered every visitor, but it is to he noted, no wine is served. Tea takes the place of any stronger drink. as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and hew conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which'they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant'medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those cf known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in, effect, like the. pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs,has comeinto general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and,excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an' •original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; .therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children ajso that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than' the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genujne you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always, have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. • • • • "* \W I i- rv H 3 •4U J ,.-1 ^ % ^,**.~ i f i Business Polnttrs.

This idea is entirely erroneous. Tbe postmasters have nothing whatever to do with fixing the rates and, except in the very smalF&ufftPy* offices, receive no part or percentage'of the rents. Tbey can only obey the orders ot the department, collect the rent and turn it over to tbe department. M. E. Church Notes. say?

The French, guided by reason, aa they would say, regard the Institution of matrimony as a rational reguJAtioa of the fact of sex, as a compromiae between the rights of the individual and the rights of society. The aa** obey*, but under protest; he Is willing to sacrlfl^fcte liberty so far, but, feeyoad that point, he regards self- Abnegation aa lanatlcal asceticism. Marriage, under French usage. Bays U. D. Sedgwick in Atlantic, is a partnership, in wtoich -such matters as character, tastes, education, birth and property are to be considered; contracting families scrutinize the proposed, bride and groom as if coming up for admittance into a club. They loot at our ^custom of marrying for love with amazement, as we should look at a grocer's cart that started pn its rounds at 30 miles an hour. Our system confines its view to the romantic dreams .of youth, and regards matrimony rather as a holiday cruise than ;a voyage of life. We may •err in our endeavor to regard men and women as disembodied spirits; and yet we cannot but think that the French err in their resolution to be sensible .and regard men and' women as animals taken in the toils of society. Our theory may look too far into the future; theirs lingers too far in the brutal past. Where Some Writers Fail. The most frequent defect in fiction submitted for magazine use and, we might add, in most of the fiction that somehow gets published in book form, is its lack of spontaneity in construction and expression, says Harper's Magazine. The writer of this manufactured fiction has a certain precalculated effect in view, with reference to which he ambitiously contrives every incident and situation of his story. The harder he tries the more surely he fails of .any genuine appeal to his readers. If he disguises his labor by a facile mastery of dramatic material and expression, he may succeed in reaching crude sensibilities and, because of his lower aim', may outsell his betters. The multitude is easily captivated by splendid artifice, which, in exceptional Instances, has compelled the admiration of even the judicious. We shall find, however, upon close examination, that in such instances the writer has not, by his strenuous, effort, wholly closed the door against all spontaneity. . . . In our day polite literature must appeal to human sympathies, and the writer's fertility of invention is of little service. Ghastly Facts About Lynching. No one can look at one of the photographs of a lynching without a sense of abysmal horror. It is not the horror alone or chiefly of the thing itself, the ugly, inanimate center of the tragedy. It is the faces of ths spectators that shock our very souls. They are always laughing faces. Good nature, even jollity, seems to be the note of these gatherings. Always wa see the faces of little boys grinning cheerfully toward the camera. There are women sometimes in the crowd, and sometimes little girls. There is no sign in these pictures of horror of death, even of grim satisfaction over a difficult and obnoxious task per- - formed by necessity. The man who • called it a "lynching bee" appreciated the true feelings of the lynchers. Leave out the grim wreck in the center, and the picture might be taken for an ordinary cheerful gathering at a country fair. Leave it in, says a writer in American Magazine, and, oh, my brothers! it is not the dead, but the living that terrifies. • C The chief wealth of the forests of Java, at the present time, consists in the wood of the teak tree, which is extensively employed for naval construction. The trees are ordinarily cut when they have attained an age of about 50 years aad a height of between 60 and 70 feet The species most esteemed has wood of a brown color possessing a greasy feeling to the touch. Since 1880 the teak has been cultivated, and the cutting of the trees has been regulated by the Dutch government. A peculiar feature of the cutting, designed to cause the wood to part slowly with its sap, consists in the girdling of the trunks a short distance above'the ground two years before the trees are felled. The timber is exported to all parts of Europe POSTOFFICI BURQLAMCS IN MICHIGAN WERE VERY NUMEROUS, RESCUER LOST HIS LIFE.

Died to 8a.e Friend. Prank Watson, aged 17, sen of Druggist J. B. Watson, lost his life Christmas day in Pine lake while trying to save his friend, Byron Eckman, from drowning. They were skating together when Eckman broke through the ice. Watson, in attempting to pull^im out, plunged headlong into the water, never to arise alive. Eckman, after a long struggle, crawled out on the ice and raised an alarm. Frank Watson was a .student in the high school. 8tore Was Destroyed. Rose Bros.' department store In Manistlque was destroyed by fire with a loss of $75,000, covered by insurance. It started in &e furnace room when the store was closed for the holiday and the smoke Vas so thicli when the department responded that It could not reach the flames. Losses to other tenants reached $15,000. Probate Judge Knox lost his valuable law library and household effects. Others, Including E. W- Angel, W. F. Dowker, George Boldius, Dr. Husband, W. F. Crane and Floyd Bostwlck sustained almost total leases, with small Insurance. Cooked Alive. As a result of falling into a vat of boiling water in a Camden bakery, Miss Jeanette Cain sustained probably fatal injuries. She was unable to extricate herself, but was pulled out by Mrs. Wilson. Pieces of flesh dropped from the young woman's breast and limbs when rescued. He Won the Girl. The wedding of Miss Es'tella Eldred and Floyd Gordenier, two well-known young people of Climax, Is the outcome of a three months courtship behind prison bars. Early in September young Gordenier had a "date" to accompany Miss Eldred to a dancing party. His attentions to the young lady were not regarded favorably by her parents, and to avoid raising their suspicions he placed his suit case In the depot. When he returned with his sweetheart he found the depot locked. He broke in and recovered his suit case and aocompanied Miss Eldred to the party. He was later arrested and given 90 days for breaking into the depot. After his sentence Miss Eldred became devoted to Gordenier and visited him frequently, and there in the solitude of the gloomy jail was the old, old story retold. Lost His Sight. The firm of Wright & O'Dell, of Penn, Mich., has been dissolved. The year just closed has been an unfortunate one for Mr. Wright. He has lost the sight of one eye by being struck by a potato playfully thrown by a boy. The other eye was blinded several years ago by a kick from a horse. Monday the Wright home caught fire and sustained considerable damage before neighbors checked the flames. Looted the Bank. Yeggmen broke into the State Savings banks in Fowler Friday night, securing $25 of the bank's money and $449 worth of postage stamps, which the postmaster had deposited. They opened several safety deposit boxes, but found no meney. They knocked off the combination of the safe, but did not get Inside. No explosive used. Eight cheap watches, a revoke* and some small change were taken. Three suspicious persons got on a train in St. Johns last p.ight and alighted at Fowler. Brennem & Co.'s store was also entered. But the day worker acquires more coin than the day dreamer instantly Kill** . y Loaded down with. Christmas pre* eats, gifts from many Oxford friends, Bert Brown, aged 17, while oa bii way to his home in Oakland township Saturday morning, was instantly killed. The young man, who attended school in Oxford, took the 7 o'clock electric car south. He waa met at Five Points by the hired man and a rig. Leaving the hired man, he started to drive home. When crossing the Michigan Central tracks at the Thurston crossing, where a high embankment cuts off the view of the tracks, the rig was struck, by the 8 o'clock northbound passenger trains-Bow youth and horse were instantly killed. The young man was badly cut up. Brown was the only son of Wil- 11am Brown, one of the largest landowners and most prosperous fanners In Oakland county. He was exceptionally bright and waa idolized by bis parents. He was a great favorite among both teachers and pupils ol the high school, his position as quarterback and captain of the football team attesting his popularity with the boy8. As president of the senior class, he was to graduate in June. It was wltL a joyous heart that he boarded the 7 o'clock car for home. He was especially pleased over some handsome gifts of local friends, only to lie cold in death a short half hour after wards. Murder Was Brutal. Delbert Conklin, aged 30, a Lansing stonemason, was shot and killed Wednesday night, when he was called to the rear door of his house. His brother, Melvln, aged 21, is held on a charge of murder. Delbert was disemboweled by a charge from a shotgun. The brothers had quarreled. Melvln had objected to his elder-brother's marriage and was jealous because his father had assisted the brother in building his house. The alleged murderer and their father lived in a small house nearby. Yesterday when the father went to Kalamazoo, where a daughter Is not expected to live, the brothers again quarreled. The first shot took effect in Delbert's arm, causing only a slight wound, but the assailant followed his victim into the house, where the latter received the full charge in his abdomen. The victim's wife ran from the house and the assailant fired at her as she was crossing the street, but his aim was wide. In her night clothing she ran to a friend's house, where the police were notified. They found the alleged rdurderer lying undressed on a bed in his own house. He feigned u&consctansiMBS and will not yet talk of the affair. Want tower Railway Fares. An agitation for two-cent a mile railroad fares was started at a meeting of traveling men In Grand Rapids. Rep. Russell and Reps. Murray and Anderson were present and promised to vote for the two cent rate. Senator Russell will introduce the bill. The following resolution was adopted: To his excellency the governor and to the honorable senators and representatives of the state of Michigan: Gentlemen—We, the undersigned commercial travelers and voters of the state of Michigan, do most earnestly and respectfully petition your honorable bodies to formulate and pass at the coming session of the legislature a law similar to that recently passed in the neighboring state of Ohio, compelling all steam railroads in the lower peninsula of Michigan to sell books of interchangeable family mileage, and tickets at a flat rate of two cents per mile at all stations and in the upper peninsula of this state books of 1,000 miles Interchangeable family mileage at two cents per mile, and tickets at all stations at three cents per mile. Petitions with this heading will be circulated by traveling men throughout the-jState. Nervy Surfman Saved Boy. Ward C. Bennett, surfman No. 2, of the Charlevoix life saving station, had eaten his Christmas dinner with his parents at Glenmere, and was walking along the beach at Glen lake with his brother, Frank C. Bennett, surfman No. 5, of the Sleeping Bear station, when he saw Harry Tobin, 11 years old, break through the ice. Before he could reach him the boy sank three times. Diving into the deep water Bennett went under J:he ice, slanting his direction toward* the boy. He sought for the boy on the bottom. The water was roiled, and it was with difficulty that he located the lad. He brought him to the surface by the hair. Because of the broken ice the rescuer could not get to shore. His brother cut a rope from a sled and with bystanders formed a living chain, bringing the boy in first, and then rescued the rescuer. Despite their icy clothes and exposure the two surfmen went to work to resuscitate the boy. In the absence of a barrel they used one of their companions in that capacity. The boy fully recovered. Nathan D. Simpson, jrf Hartford, has been appointed private messenger to Lieut. Gov.-Elect P. BTKeMey, during the coming session of the state legislature. Miss Nina Fedens, of Thetford township, and Delazon Almes Meade, of Detroit, have, in a letter just sent out to their friends, announced their marriage, which has been kept a secret since January. 6, 1906.

Statistics compiled; by representatives of the United Typothetae of America and the American Weekly Publishers* association, which are vigorously fighting the movement to increase the rates charged for second class mall matter, show that the government Is paying the railways three times as much on the average for the transportation of mall matter as express companies pay for like services. On the basis of the postmaster general's estimate the publishers asBert that the government during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1907. will pay the roads almost $32,000,000 more than the express companies would pay them for hauling an equal tonnage. "One of the chief needs of the government is an expert traffic manager," said a Chicago publisher. "It then would get as good rates as the express companies." Needs a Strong Hand. " Secretary Taft has received advices from Gov. Magoon at Havana Indicating that a more or less unsettled condition of affairs exists in certain parts of Cuba and that in Santa Clara province some lawless bands are operating and pillaging. Therefore at the governor's instance, Gen. Bell has. ordered* r. considerable reinforcement of the garrison of American troops in that province. For the first time since the second occupation of the island by the Americans it has become necessary-for the troops to undertake themselves the suppression of these disorders, instead of leaving this task to the native Cuban rurales, which is regarded as an indication of the inability of the Cuban civil authorities to permanently maintain peace in the island. Gen; Bell, in company with Gen. Wint, who will succeed him, January 1, in command of the American troops in Cuba, is now making «, tour of the island, with special reference to the military necessities in case further die turbanees occur.

Phillips has been cashier of the bank ever since its organization In 1893. He was the largest stockholder, owning 82 out of the 200 shares. The bank examiner, it is said, found about $18,000 worth of paper which he would not accept, and the stockholders, rather than close the doors of the hank, made a voluntary assessment of 100 per cent and, having a first lien on Phillips' stock, took that over-so that the stock -he Cleveland parties is worthless. . > C n Russian Office re Sentenced).

Maxson arrived from a visit in the state of Sonora, Mex., with a graphic story of a massacre of Mexicans and whites by Yaqui Indians at the little town of Lancho, late Saturday afternoon. Maxson's train stopped an hour at Lancho and there were rumors that the Yaquis were upon the warpath and that the few people In the neighborhood of the station and railroad were in danger. Station Master Thompson belittled the matter, and said he and his wife would remain at their post. The train had left the station not more than an hour when the Yaquis descended and butchered four people. Station Agent Thompson and his wife escaped by boarding a work train that pulled In after four people had been killed and Thompson and his wife had defended themselves behind the barricaded doors of the station. As the work train appeared the Indians withdrew. Col. Maxson and party, seeing the signs of the uprising becoming more alarming as they proceeded, started the train back toward Lancho and found the station burned and four human bodies lay along the track. The train stopped a few minutes to pick up any survivors that might be found. The bodies of the victims were still warm when Maxson, with the aid of the others, gave them hasty burial. A few miles further along the road four more dead bodies of Mexicans and Americans were discovered. The little band at this station had been able to repulse the attack of the Yaquis. The remaining defenders refused to leave on the train, saying that they could stand off the Indians until the rurales would arrive. THE MARKETS.

Tale of the 014 West By HAIRY LEON WILSON Afttker of " Tse Speafert.' & «r' •*» 4& CHAPTER VII.—Continued. The other who had not laughed was ferigham himself. For to this great man had been given the gift to look -upon men and to know in one slow sweep of his wonderful eye's all their strength and all their weakness. He bad listened with close attention to the remarkable plan suggested by this fiery young zealot, and he studied him now with a gaze that was kind. A noticeable result of this attitude of Brigham's was that those who had laughed became more or less awkwardly silent, while the Entablature of Truth, in the midst of his pantomime, froze Into amazement. "W'd better consider that a little," said Brighara, finally. "You can talk ifr'Sver with me to-night. But first you 40 gat your stuff unloaded and get kiad of fettled. There's a cabin just X fceyoad * y t w o U P t h e street here that yon can move into." He put his large "haw! Madly on the other's shoulder. ""Now run and get fixed and come to my house for supper along about dark." Somewhat cooled by the laughter of the others, but flattered by this consideration from the Prophet, the young man had gone thoughtfully out to his wagons and driven on to the cabin indicated. Brlgham talked to him late that night, advancing many cogent reasons Why It should be unwise to make war at oace upon the nation of Gentiles to Cast. Of these reasons the one had greatest weight with his listener was the assurance that such a course would not at present be pleasing In the sight of God. To others, touching upon the matter of superior forces they might have to contend with, he Was loftily inattentive. From matters of civil government the talk ranged to affairs domestic. "Te.1 me," said the young man, "the truth of this new order of celestial marriage." And Brigham had become animated at once. "Yes," he said, "when the fsrgily organization was revealed from Heaven, and Joseph began on the right and the left to add to his family, oh, dear, what a quaking there was in Israel! But there it was, plain enough. When you have received your endowments, keys, blessings, all the tokens, signs, and every preparatory ordinance that can be given to a man for his entrance through the celestial gate, then you can see it." He gazed a moment into the fire of hickory logs before which they sat, and then went on, more confidentially: "Now you take that promise to Abraham—'Life up your eyes and behold the stars. So shall thy seed be as numberless as the stars. Go to the seashore and look at the sand, and behold the smallness of the particles thereof—1 am giving you the gist of the Lord's words, you understand— 'and then realise that your seed shall be as numberless as those sands.' Now think for a minute how many particles " there are, say in a cubit foot of s a n d - about one thousand million particles. Think of that! In eight thousand years, if the inhabitants of earth increased one trillion a century, three cubic yards of sand would still contain more particles than, there would be people on the whole globe. Yet there you got the promise of the Lord ,in black and white. Now how was Abraham to manage to get a foundation laid for this mighty kingdom? ,Was he to get it through one wife# 'Don't you see how ricflculous that !•? ,Sarah saw it, a#l Sarah knew that ftmles3 seed was raised to Abraham he would come short of his glory. So what did Sarah do? She gave Abraham a certain woman whose name was Hagar, and by her a seed was to be raised up untahim. And was that all? No. We read of his wtfa Keturah, and also of a plurality ft Jrtfas which he had in the sight sad tawsr of God, and from whom he raised up many sons. There, then, was a foundation laid for the fulfillment of that grand promise concerning his seed." He peered again Into the fire, and added, by way of clenching his argument: "I guess it would have been rather slow-going, if the Lord had confined Abraham to one wife, like some of these narrow, contracted nations of modem Chrittlanigt. You see, they mm dctft snow that a man's nostajjty |» this *prid krtr.wuiam*m fan and kingdom aid doptoton . f*u«tba world to come/ and they' don't know, el&dr, that there are thousands of Chinee sftrttfrta the spirit world waiting ta toheynnrle in the flesh. Of course, t a r n are lots of these things that you ain't ready to hear yet, bat now you know that polygamy is necessary for oar exaltation to the fullness of the Lord's glory in the eternal world, and after you study It you'll like the doctrine. I do; I can swallow it without greasing my mouth!" He prayed that night to be made "holy as Thy servant Brigham is holy; to hear Thy voice as he hears it; to be made as wise as he, as true as he, even as another Lion of the Lord, so that I may be a rod and staff and comforter to these buffeted children of Thine." His prayer also touched on one of the matters of their talk. "But, 0 Lord, teach me to be content without thrones and dominion in Thy Kingdom if to gain these I must have many wives. Teach me to abase myself, to be a servant, a lowly sweeper in the temple of the MoBt High, for I would rather be lowly with her I love n a n exalted to any place whatsoever with many. Keep in my sinful heart the face of her who has left me to dwell among the Gentiles, whose hair Is melted gold, whose eyeB are azure deep as the sky, and whose arms once opened warm for me. Guard her espe- <m*mm chinked loss sad the find brought aim the wailing of tb* voir**, as prayed that ha Slight not be too mush elated by tfcif extraordinary distinction. CHASTE* Vlih A Revelation from 4h* Lord, From his little one-roomed eahta, dark, smoky* Uttered with hay. old blanket*, and skins, he heard excited voices outside, one early morning In January. B e opened the, door and found s group of men discussing a miracle that had been wrought overnight The Lord had spoken to Brigham and word had come to Zlon to move toward the west He hurried over to Brigham's house and by that good man was shown the word of the Lord as it had been written down from his lips. With emotions of reverential awe he read the Inspired document "The Word and Will of (he Lord Concerning the Camp of Israel in its Journeylngs to the West" Such was Its titlo. "Let all the people," H began, "of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, be organized into companies with a covenant and a promise to keep all the statutes of the Lord our God. "Let the companies be organized with captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, "Keep in My Sinful Heart the Face of Her Who Has Left to Dwell Among the Gentiles." cially, O Lord, while she must company with Gentiles, for she is not wonted to their wiles; and in Thine own good time bring her head un harmed to its home on Thy servant's breast." "You have built me up," he confided to Brigham, one day. "I feel to rejoice in my strength." And Brigham was highly pleased. "That's good, Brother Joel. The host of Israel will soon be on the move, and I shouldn't wonder if the Lord had a grea*. work for you. I can see places where you'll be just the tool he needs. I mistrust we sha'n't have everything peaceful eVen now. The priest in the pulpit is' thorning the politician against us, gouging him from underneath—he'd never dare do It openly, for our Elders could crimson his face with shame—and the minions of the mob may be after us again. If they do, I can see where you will be a tower of strength in your own way." "It's all of my life, Brother Brigham." "I believe It. I guess the time has come to make you an Elder." And so on a late winter afternoon in the quiet of the Council-House, Joel Rae was ordained an Elder after the order of Melchisedek; with power to preach and administer in all the ordinances of the church, to lay on hands, to confirm all baptized persons, to anoint the afflicted with oil, and to seal upon them the blessings of health. In his hard, narrow bed that night, where the cold cams through the unwith a President and Counsellor at their head under the direction of the Twelve Apostles. "Let each company provide itself with all the teamsr wagons, provisions, and all -other necessaries for the journey. "Let every man use all his influence and property to remove this people to the place where the Lord shall locate a stake of Zion, and let them share equally In taking the poor, the widows, and the fatherless, so that their cries come not up into the ears of the Lord against His people. "And if ye do this with a pure heart, with all faithfulness, ye shall be blessed in your flocks and in your herds and in your fields and in your families. For I am the Lord your God, even the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Jacob. I am He who led the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt, and my arm is stretched out in these last dsys to save my people of Israel. "Fear act thine enemies, for they are fa mj bands, and I will do my pleas^fs with them. "My people must be tried In all things, that they may be worthy to receive the glory that I have in store for them, even the glory of Zion; and he that will not receive chastisement is not worthy of my Kingdom. So no more at present. Amen and Amen!" This was what he had longed for each winter night when he had seen the sun go down,—the word of the Lard ta follow-that son on orer the • a s a a spaas^^ e B ^ v g^^^^'^Beaip^^^^^' ^™ ^^^w^^^ av^^^^^^^s/ . ^aaf c festad by savage *irtbesaad ravaaons beasts, abounding la terrors unknown. «*'-. % - tariy la Apr|I the life began to stir mors btfskiy if the great camp that sprawled along either side of the swollen, muddy river. From dawn to dark each day the hills echoed with the noise of many works, the streets were alive with men and women going and coming on endless errands, ard with excited children playing at games Inspired by the occasion. Wagons were mended and loaded with provisions and tools, oxen shod, oxbows renewed, guns put in order, bullets moulded, and the thousand details perfected of a migration so hazardous. They were busy, noisy, excited, ieappy days. At last In the middle of April, the signs were seen to be right Grass grew and water ran, and their part allotted by the Lord,, was to brave the dangers of that forbidding land that lay under the western sun. Then came a day of farewells and merrymaking. In the afternoon, the day being mild and sunny, there was a dance in the bowery,—a great arbor made of poles and brush and wattling. Here, where the ground had been trodden firm, the age and maturity as well as the youth and beauty of Israel gathered in such poor festal array as they had been able to save from their ravaged stores. The Twelve Apostles led ofT In a double cotillion, to the moving strains of a violin an$ horn, the lively jingle of a string of sleigh-bells, and the genial snoring of a tambourine. Then came dextrous displays in the dances of our forbears, who followed the fiddle to the Fox-chase Inn or Garden of Gray's Ferry. There were French Fours, Copenhagen jigs, Virginia reels, — spirited figures blithely stepped. And the grave-faced, squarejawed Elders seemed as eager as the unthinking youths and maidens to throw off for the moment the burden of their cares. From midday until the April sun dipped below the sharp skyline of the Omaha hills, the modest revel endured. CHAPTER IX. Into the -Wilderness. On to the West at last to build the house of God in the mountains. On to what Daniel Webster had lately styled "A region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dnst, of cactus and prairie dogs." * The little band of pioneers chosen to break a way for ithe main body ot the Saints consisted of 143 men, three women, and two children. They were to travel in 73 wagons, drawn by horses and oxen. They knew not where they were to stop, but they were men of eager initiative, fearless and determined; and their consolation was that, while their exodus into the desert meant hardship and grievous suffering, it also promised them freedom from Gentile interference. It was not a fat land into which they were venturing; but at least it was a land without a past, lying clean as it came from the hand of its maker, where they could be free to worship God without fearing the narrow judgment of the frivolous. Instructed in the sacred mysteries revealed to Joseph Smith through the magic light of the Urim and Thummim, and sustained by the divine message engraved on the golden plates he had dug up from the hill of Cumorah, they were now ready to feel their way across the continent and blaze a trail to the new Jerusalem. They went in military style with due precautions against surprise by the Lamanites—the wretched red remnant of Abraham's seed—that Bwarmed on every side. the radowbfshts Joaa ma)or, sad^ttsdrarti Kanpiy, Jm sJPSs>^P ^gsnwT»T';^|^W^^ Igwhjp^H^gjIMw'• ^^s» • i^paaagwagi^P^e^g^ •asa^s ^ w w s a^^^^^a ^^sagy^^ppaaeea ^#s* ^^^^^B^^a • ^^^» orders of the nontenant general required sasji man to walk constantly beside his wagon, leaving It only by bis officer's commands. To make the force compact, the wagons wars to more two abreast where they could. Every man wss to keep bis weapons loaded. If the gun wss s ca#tock, tha cap was to be taken 08 and a piece of leather pot on to exclude moisture and dirt; if a flintlock, the filling wss to be taken out and the pan filled with tow or cotton. Their march was not only cautToos but orderly. At five a. m. the bugle sounded for rising, two hours being •• allowed for prayers and breakfast. At night each man had to retire to his wagon for prayer at eight-thirty, and to rest at nine. If they camped by a river they drew the wagons into a semicircle with the river at its" base. Other times the wagons made a circle, a fore-wheel of one touching a rear wheel of the next thus providing a corral for the stock. In such manner was the wisdom of the Lord concerning this hegira supplemented in detail by the worldly forethought of his servant Brigham. They started along the north bank of the Platte river under the auspicious shine of an April sun. A better route was along the south bank where grass was more plentiful and the Indians less troublesome. But along the south bank parties of migrating Gentiles might also be met, and these sons of perdition were to be avoided at any cost—"at least for the present," said Brigham, in tones of sage significance. And so for 200 miles they broke a new way over the plains, to be known years after aB "the old Mormon trail," to be broadened later by the goldseekers of forty-nine, and still later to be shod with steel, when the miracle of a railway was worked in the desert. Joel Rae, walking beside his wagon, meditated chiefly upon the manner in whiph his Witness would first manifest itself. The wonder came, in a way, while he thus meditated. Late one afternoon the scouts thrown in advance came hurrying back to report a large band of Indians strung out in battle array 9, few miles ahead. The wagons were at once formed five abreast, their one cannon was wheeled to the front, and the company advanced in close formation. Perceiving these aggressive maneuvers, the <= Indians seemed to change their plan and, instead of coming on to attack, were seenvto be setting tire to the prairie. The result might' well have been disastrous, as the wind was blowing toward the train. Joel Rae saw it; saw that the time had come for a miracle if the little company of Saints was to be saved a serious rebuff. He quickly entered his wagon and began to pray. He prayed that the Lord might avert this calamity and permit the handful of faithful ones to proceed in peace to fashion His temple on earth. When ho began to pray there had been outside a woeful confusion of sounds,—scared and plunging horses, bellowing oxen, excited men shouting to the stock and to one another, the barking of dogs and the rattling of the> wagons. Through this din he prayed, scarcely hearing his own voice, yet feeling within himself the faith that he knew must prevail. And then as he prayed be became conscious that these noises had subsided to a wonderful silence. A moment this lasted, and then he heard it broken by a mighty shout of gladness, followed by excited calls from one man to another. (TO BE CONTINUED.) -y The Letter Was From His Sisti Husband's Wife Did Not Know This and Jealousy Cost Life. Charles Hepburn, of Newcastle-on- Tyne hadn't the slightest reason for thinking his wife was jealous of him. Therefore when he received a letter from another woman asking him to meet her at a certain hour, he carried the letter home in his pocket instead of destroying it. In going through his pockets at night the wife found the letter. She made no remarks, except to herself, but started to be at the place appointed and face the guilty pair. Everything was all right up to this point, but in walking to the corner mentioned in the letter the wife was run down and killed by an omnibus and the htfsband came along just in time to identify the body. She had the letter on her person and the husband speedily proved that it was his* cwn sister he was going to meet It is useless to point out the moral in this. Wires have been going through their husbands' pockets ever sines pockets were s feature, and they have also been finding letters At* from other women, and this sad tragedy will have no general effect There is always hope in the womanly breast of catching the husband dead to rights, and if she keeps on long enough she will probably accomplish her fell design. Perfumed Ink. Oh, Lilacsl When the thoroughly equipped society girl answers the notes of her newest recruit she must use stationery of the palest heliotrope. Her seal must be of the same hue and the latest flat is that her ink must be scented with the same flower. Count Boni, husband of Anna Gould, is credited with introducing this novelty into the land of the free. He once shocked the proprietors of that famous hostelry, the Ponce de Leon, in St. Augustine, by sending for ink perfumed with violets. Common ink, with its plebeian odor, Count Boni asserted, was imposslbltv So perfumed ink is going the rounds, and it is essential as sachet bags for the chiffonier or essence for the handkerchiefs. Hyacinth is a favorite scent for ink, for, being rather strong; it retains Its odor much longer. r •«4 1.-' MtiMfc : * * < • m ,% .-* 4*f '?*& Mrt w. :¥ r '•-,.• f+ •: i ...- r' iij*r> • • ; j,«t •>•.--•• f . - - u ' • • * . ; • . , . , - v -•«,<• , ' ^ • * f tekttg §ty«Mi F.

Kodol Dyspepsia Ci / Digests what you eat. [Original.] There waa a* commotion In Barason Hall, where a house party composed of wealthy British people was making merry. Lady Bnrnlckel, the wife of Bir Michael Barnickel, on retiring to her room U» go tu l>«d tulsaed a brooch in which was a rose diamond her husband had brought bin- from India and which he had procured from one of the native princes. It was of priceless value. Every guest was known to be above suspicion except Edgar Kenworthy, a youug American. Keuworthy was a studeut at Oxford, where be was trying for the honor of senior wrangler, a distinction to be obtained only by proficiency in the higher mathematics. Lady Baruickel declared that her brooch could not have been stolen from ber by a servant, for she did not trust servants and took care not to expose her jewelry to them. It must have become unclasped during the evening of its loss and been picked up by some of her associates. At any rate, no servant had come near her in the evening. A number of person* had been with her, among them Kenworthy. Lord Sarason directed persoually a search of the house and grounds, but the brooch was not found. An unspoken opinion gradually settled upon the guests that Kenworthy knew something about the loss of the treasure. The first intimation he had that he was suspected was from Miss Lucy Trevor, a young lady to whom he had been devoted, who gave him a hint. He showed such unaffected surprise that the girl had no doubt of his innocence from that moment. But she had no influence with the others. *. Kenworthy, after learning of the position he occupied, went to his room to thiuk. Either the brooch must be found or he must endure the obloquy of being considered a thief. That night after all had gone to bed Miss Trevor, whose room overlooked the front lawn, heard some one beneath her window and saw a dark figure pouring something out of a watering pot on the grass. Either his build or walk or some other feature iu- I dicated to her that he was Kenworthy. The figure soon passed too far away to be visible, and Miss Trevor went to bed wondering. She wondered still more the next morning^wheu one of the guests asked, "Who was that perambulating over the lawn with a lantern before daylight tills morning*'" Bhe did not catch what followed, but she naturally put the remark with what she had seen. Then when she went out on the terrace she saw a number of guests looking at the lawn, which had been divided into squares by lime lines, the process used in marking luwu tennis courts. These Bquares had been- made during the night, and no one could tell who had made them. The host denied any knowledge of the Work, and none of the guests attempted to explain it, Miss Trevor looked on with the others and said nothing. The mystery of the squares on the lawn engaged the attention of the household all that day. The only person who did not appear to take any interest in the matter was Kenworthy, who sat over sheets of paper on which he was figuring or poring over a book on optics. At luncheon time he left his books and papers on a table on the terrace, and they were examined by several persons, hoping some evidence could tic adduced from them to convict the American of theft. Tli.' next night one of the guests, whose room overlooked the lawn, was awakened by seeing a light through the slats of a window blind. He got up, went to the window and looked out. A light was moving on the lawn. And a #*ery singular nioiion it was. The light would go, say, to the right, then at a right angle, then at another and still another right angle. This process was repeated over and over again. What did it mean? The watcher kept his post till the monotony of the moving light made him sleepy, when he went back to bed. In the morning lie informed the household that the place must be haunted, for he had seen a light moving over the lawn about two feet from the ground describing a succession .of right angles. Then some one suggested that a lantern )• had been carried over the squares. That day the host told Kenworthy that he was suspected of having laid down the squares and asked him if he had done so; also if he had moved over them with a lantern at night. Kenworthy admitted that he had dona both. Then when his lordship asked his object in this strange proceeding he said he was working out a problem which would be finished that night and would not object to spectators. As soon as It was dusk, while the terrace overlooking the lawn was crowded with people waiting In anxious expectation for a revelation of the mystery, the American came out with a lantern and said: "I saw Lady Barnickel on this lawn with her brooch unpinned on the afternoon of Its loss, I believe it is hi the I have hunted over taree-quar* tore of the surface and shall do the remaining quarter now." He then proceeded to move the lantern along the lines 4>f the squares, a curious group following him. He had worked an hour. The group had been reduced to three persons, one of whom was Miss Trevor. Suddenly she made a spring and pounced upon something in the grass, then held it up to sparkle in the lantern light. Ir wa . Lady Bafuiekel's brooch.

" ' * • • * ' - <i ••«* .*• :-0¾ , When it came to the point ot actually carrying out his intentions on that wonderful May afternoon, Mr. J. Spencer Parker seemed to accomplish no more than a hunting dog chasing a rabbit in the tall rye, continually jumping up and down and never getting anywhere. A dozen times he walked resolutely toward the brass door-knob of 1316, and as many times he concluded to saunter languidly past, as if he had no other reason for appearing in that neighborhood than simply to sun himself. But finally he summond up courage enough to pull the bell-knob, and an imitation cow-bell tinkled in the back of the house. "J. Spencer Parker, upon my word!" exclaimed the middle-aged woman who came to the door. "And pray what brings you here to-day?" She spoke in a sweet, musical tone, 1n pleasing harmony with the diffident demeanor of her guest, whose # every motion was quiet and respect- * .able, and whose voice sounded strangely like hers, as he replied: "Just visiting, ma'am. I wished to pay you my regards, Mrs. Simpson, and to congratulate you upon Mr. Watkins, who is coming to board with you." "Congratulate me!" cried Mrs. Simpson. "Why, I am indeed delighted to hear that. Do you know, }. have never seen him yet?" ' "Yes?" The look In Mr. Parker'* -eyes was far away as he replied, and his body, bant forward attentively, "I have known Mr. Watkins—Jeremiah Watkins, ma'am—from a boy. 1 am glad he is come to such a home as yours." "Indeed, you please me, Mr. Parker," returned'Mrs. Simpson. "I shall be -especially happy to tell our boarders what sort of person they may expect." Mr. Parker gave a sudden start, but carefully recovered himself. "Ah," he said, "that's what I came to tell you -of." "Indeed?" "Yes, Mr. Watkins is a—-a—a gentleman." Again the courteous speaker leaned forward as he spoke, struggling awkwardly for the next word—"but I want you to know that he is a—a gentleman." "Ah!" returned Mrs. Simpson, with ready Intuition. "Then he is perhaps •eccentric?" "Not exactly," replied Mrr Parker, thoughtfully and sweetly, "but he looks, let me say, ho looks rougher than he is." "But he Is—" "Yes," said Mr. Parker. "He la a gentleman." Half an hour later the door closed softly, and J. Spencer Parker came -down the front steps of 1316, at first smiling, and then sadly, walking with slow, unsteady step. As he passed by the little corner grocery store, he paused and smote himself pathetically on the breast. "Liar!" he said, groaning. "Liar! And yet—it had to be done. God forgive me!" Anyone who had happened to see Mr. Parker's friend, Mr. Jeremy Watkins, on the next day, when he came with his trunks to 1316, might have •been excused for cherishing the suspicion that he was not exactly a Beau llrummel or a Lord Chesterfield. He cursed the baggage man for letting *Is trunk fall roughly to the ground, -and quarreled with him over his fee; •and, to further give vent to his feelings, he strode to the door and gave the bell knob a vicious jerk. There f M not a look on his face or a gesture of his body that did not reveal faba a coarse, Ill-mannered young man, properly of the stable, rather than the house. His square, rough face, with its loose mouth and broad nose, his burly shoulders and big hands, and his clothing, inviolate with respect to any previous contact with the whisk broom, bespoke a vulgarity of person that he did not attempt to conceal. , It seemed almost Impossible that he should be a friend or acquaintance of such a person as J. Spencer Parker. Mrs. Simpson, radiant, sweet and freBh, appeared at the door, and gazed at him for a moment. Then, seeing his trunks, she extended her hand and said: "Mr. Watkins, I suppose?" ^ "Yes." J. Watkins was on the point •of asking her who in h—1 she thought he was, with two trunks right there before her eyes; but something in her (ladylike manner evidently different from what he had been accustomed to, checked him. "I am so glad to see. you," she went on. "So glad to know that we are to have you here. We are almost like a family here, and so yodttun imagine how much 1 was pleased to learn that our new lodger was a cultivated gentleman." Watkins flushed angrily, supposing tthai she was making, sport of him. but one glance at her frank, Ingenuous face convinced him of her sincerity. "Some one must have been here—" he stammered, uncomfortably, "telling you about me." "Yes," replied Mrs. Simpson, "Mr. Parker was here yesterday. He thinks highly of you." Again the surging suspicion that Mrs. Simpson was mocking him—and again the sweet and straightforward look from her. "I have known him a number of years, ma'am," replied Watkins, la a subdued voice. "So he said," returned Mrs. Simpson, "and it is Indeed delightful that those who know one well can speak so well of him. But come—your trunks must be taken care o t I will call our man." The man came—a wizened man, whose face was wrinkled into a constant smile; and as he bustled about, assisting Watkins with the trunks, he talked pleasantly and respectfully. "You will be pleased here, sir," he said, as they stopped, panting, at the top of the stairs. "If I do say it myself, there are no more gentlemanly or lady-like people in the world, than at 1316." Watkins, who had been just on the point of cursing the man roundly for dropping the trunk on his foot at the top landing, contented himself with blaspheming inwardly instead. At dinner there was a general hush whefr he entered the room, and he was introduced to the lodgers, one by one. A sweet looking girl sat next him, who said: "It will be so delightful to have you here, Mr. Watkins. Mr. Parker, who called here yesterday, tells us that you spent two summers in Europe." Memories of rough debauches in London and Paris and feverish gambling at Monte Carlo came flooding to his brain. His only subjects of conversation, in regard to European travel, heretofore, had been coarse ones. But now, coloring, he spoke itxt to at dinner.

( themselves; but answered his questions frankly. ' v ' When he returned to his room theft was a flower on his bureau. The gas was burning low. The windows were •lightly opened, and the fresh, pure air surrounded him. He found a pitcher of cool water at hand, and a~ glass stood near i t Presently, Mrs. Simpson knocked at hit door. "It occurred to me," she said, sweetly, "that yon might hot yet have unpacked y o u books." Watkins looked apprehensively at the cheap, trashy literature that adorned his shelves. "N—no," he said slowly. MI haven't" "If you would like to use any of our books, just go down into the library and help yourself. You need not bother to return them to their places, if you get Interested. Just leave them here in your room.** Upon the following Sunday one of the neighbors met Mr. Watkins in front of 1316. "I suppose this is Mr. Watkins," he said, cordially offering his hand, "I am indeed glad to meet you, for I have heard of you from your friends. Come up to-morrow to 1324, three doors up, and have dinner. We shall be glad to add another gentleman to our list of acquaintances." And so time passed, until one bright day, three months later, there came again to 1316 Mr. J. Spencer Parker. He pulled the door knob with some trepidation, and heard again the faint tinkle of the imitation cowbell in the rear. He talked again to the middle-aged, delightfully beautiful woman who answered his call. He left again In about half an hour. But this time, as he passed the little grocery store on the corner, he was seen to slap himself enthusiastically on the leg and to smile radiantly. m Uerfiald Tea is aede of herbs—a great point in its favor!

Influence of this slight creature rbeside him, brought to his memory scenes of beauty and interest that he had looked on only in passing, and had long forgotten. He talked without roughness, and even found himself thanking the waitress for things she passed him. He felt pleasantly uncomfortable. He walked that evening with two of his fellow lodgers, for a little exercise before retiring. One of them was the young lady whom he had sat Ex-Senator Coekrell probably is the only man in Washington who ever kept President Roosevelt waiting at a dinner. It was one of the cabinet dinners that werfc given by the secretary of the Interior and Mrs. Hitchcock throe yeare ago. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived |n due time, as did all the other guests except Senator Coekrell. After a delay of almost an hour Mrs. Hitchcock invited her guests to the dining-room and dispatched a messenger to the residence of Senator Cockreli to make inquiries. Great fear was felt that the Missourlan had started and had fallen by the way, as the day was a cold and wintry one. The fact was, however, that the senator was sitting quietly at home when the messenger got there, clad In his dressing gown and slippers and congratulating himself that ho could be indoors. He had put the date of the dinner in his calendar in large and attractive handwriting, but had for-' gotten to turn a leaf and was, accordingly, a day behind time. No one( appreciated the joke more than did the president, and the dinner that began in anxiety and apprehension end-, ed in a big laugh at the dear old senator.— Denver Times. Monarchs as Linguists.

While the Bank of England make3 It a point never under any circumstances to relinquish the prosecution of those who have defrauded it in the slightest degree, being willing, if need be, to spend thousands of pounds to capture and prosecute people who have robbed it of even a few shillings, the Rothschilds make it a rule never to appeal to the courts or to the police In such matters. Of course, they are, like every other banker, occasionally the victims of dishonesty, but neither the police nor the public ever hear about the matter. This has always been a princlplo of the heads of the house, who take the ground that it is better to bear the loss in silence than to disturb popular confidence in the safety of the concern by allowing it to be $een that its treasures are not adequately safeguarded. CRIED EA8ILY. DIDN'T KNOW OF THE BOY, But Man Who Married Widow Had to Pay the Penalty. "It seems very nard that I should be called upon to pay for ihe boy," was the lament of an elderly man who was summoned under curious circumstances at Lambert, England. The proceedings were taken by the industrial school's officer with the view of obtaining an order for a contribution toward the maintenance of the son of a woman whom the defendant married two years ago. The boy, it was said, had been sent to the school before the marriage took place, and the defendant now protested that he had never seen the lad, and was quite unaware of his existence at the time of the marriage. "You have heard of the danger of marrying widows?" remarked Mr. Hopkins, the magistrate. "Unfortunately, I know it," replied the defendant. "It seems hard lines, I know,- said the magistrate, "to call upon you to pay for the boy. But men do such foolish things. Two years ago you didn't mind marrying this woman." "Yes, sir, but I didn't know what she was then," was the reply. An order was mado for the payment of 50 cents a week. The Dieting Nuisance. The dieting fad prevails to such an extent in England that numbers of well known hostesses have put their heads together and drawn up a decla-i ration of independence. %is, sent out] with all Invitations to country houses,' reads thus: "I am sorry to appear inhospitable, but my housekeeper and cook cannot arrange to cater for any] guest who is obliged to diet" The food faddist, It seems, has become no end of a nuisance in other people's houses, and though the hostesses, might be willing to endure i t the servants have risen in revolt.

No better practical proof that coffee is a drug can be required than to note how the nerves become unstrung in women who habitually drink it. The stomach, too, rebels at being continually drugged with coffee and tea—they both contain the drug— caffeine. Ask your doctor.

The progress ot a new country cannot be better ascertained than by noting the Increase of railroad mileage in its transportation system1, and, judged by this standard, the Canadian West leads all the countries in the world during the current year. Thirty years ago there wa3 not one hundred miles of railroad west of the Great Lakes, and very little prospect of a transcontinental route for many years to come, but by the end of 1885 ffhe Canadian Pacific Railway was within measurable distance of completion, and last year—twenty years later— over C^OOO miles of railroad traversed the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. In the past year the work of railroad construction has been vigorously prosecuted, and by the end of 1906, some 5,000 miles ot completed railroad has been added, making a total of fully 11,000 miles In the three great grain producing provinces of Canada. Such an increase in the transportation facilities of the country is bound to make good times not only in the districts where the railroads are being built, but throughout the entire west. Allowing $20,000 a mile for construction, the sum of $100,000,000 will be put in circulation, and this in itself should cause good times to prevail in a land where work is plentiful, wages are high, and the cost of living is moderate. But the building of new railroads through Western Canada means .a greater benefit to the country than merely the money put in circulation by the cost of construction. Additional railway building means the opening of new agricultural districts and an additional area under crops; a largely increased output of grain to foreign markets with consequent financial returns; the erection of elevators and the growth of villages, towns and cities; and everything else that makes for the progress of national life, and the opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads, so extensively advertised by the Canadian government agent, whose address appears elsewhere. It was stated on the floor of the Canadian Parliament recently by a prominent representative that ten years from now would see the bulk of the population of Canada residing west of the Great Lakes, and if the work of railway building during the present year is any criterion, the ab,l1eP i would8 rrJ"IXhnTfl ^ ^ ^ P r 0 P h 6 C y m a d e b y ^ 6 C a n a d l a n 8 t a t e * anlni e la wno*u Tld ^cr,y w^ ith° ou^t "the* 1leas^t, ^rp a- I m_f.t»n . .m a y bue - e a s i l»y, ..f u,.l.f-l,1-,1,^* * in.s_i_d.e._ Of g£e?tt«in. 1g LpoLorn. ° t l C e d m y e y e 8 l B h t Wa s the time stated.

Artyoshi has not made up his mind yet whether he will remain in this country or go home to Japan after he has been graduated from the Schoolship.

Have a regular hour for rising and retiring and do not deviate from it unless forced to. Bright eyes, clear skin, cbTeerful mind, muscular tone and nervous energy are among the good conditions promoted by sleep of the right kind, while broken and insufficient sleep will tend to produce the very opposite states. If a woman would have the roseate beauty of the dairymaid it is quite necessary to obtain the same health conditions enjoyed by the dairymaid. So, if the sleep is broken or insufficient, a certain amount of muscular work should be gone tare ugh with each night before retiring. Tax endurance, says a wellknown nerve specialist, but do not tax strength. The very latest cure for sleeplessness was thought out by a celebrated French doctor, who came to the conclusion that most insomnia was due to over-fatigue or over-excitement of the nerves. *9g^ounteract this the doctor belleVe^U a series of muscular exercises warranted to relax the tension of the nerves and bring about that delightfully drowsy sensation— the forerunner of refreshing sleep. Annie Payson Call says there are five things' to remember if you want to rest an overtired brain. "i. A healthy indiffeience to wakefulness. 2. Concentration of mind on simple things. 3. Relaxation of the body. 4. Gentle rhythmic breathing of fresh air. 5. Regular nourishment." That really covers it all. When Belinda cornea home feeling "too tired to sleep" there is no use her trying to go to bed at once. Let her take a warm bath, letting the cold water run in until the water becomes cool, then let her slowly go through the many different points of the toilet, manicuring and hair brushing, for instance, so often done in a rush. These help relax and quiet the nerves and can take up an hour's time. Last of all a cup of warm milk with a pinch of salt. Many people, this applies particularly to men, suffer from sleeplessness because they are not properly nourished. Exhausted or irritated and excited nerves need nourishing. A bite of light and easily digested food will not keep one awake—on the contrary, it is often just what is needed to induce sleep. Sleep will not come to the brain that is worrying or even to the brain that is busy with the thoughts of "How shall I make myself fall asleep?" Here is where our French doctor comes to the rescue for his muscular exercises. Take the mind off the desired outcome and center it on directing the bodily movements which the doctor advises, inducing bodily fatigue by tiring the muscles. It sounds as if It would take forever, but it doesn't Just try it. Stretch the limbs in different directions. Lie on your back and pull the knees up. Inhale deeply while doing this. While the breath is retained stiffen and stretch the muscles, making the body as tense as possible. Now relax slowly and thoroughly, beginning with the muscles of the neck arm, and back; exhale at the some time. It is usually the neck that is so tense and rigid that very nervous people Avoid Exciting Reading. as if they were holding their heads on by main force. These stretching exercises will speedily teach one how to relax one's hold on one's ov/n tense muscles, which is the very fillst thing to learn for those who suffer from insomnia. / In New Shapes and Designs Guarantee On Their Products.

One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had often heard of cures by the Cuticura Remedies, but had no confidence in them as I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen thVee doctors, but got no relief. Finally my husband said that we would try the Cuticura Remedies, so we got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment, and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I keep Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the Abe cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them.

The governor's father, 88 years old, a deacon in the church and very strict in religious matters, was in Saratoga. There was a conference at one of the hotel cottages that lasted until late in the morning. The other leaders were trying to force Odell to take the obnoxious man. About two o'clock Odell's fatHer, who had heard what was going on, stalked angrily over to the cottage and rapped on the door. Frank Piatt, son of Senator Piatt, came to the door. "Well?" said Piatt sharply. "I want to see my son," demanded Odell. The governor came to the door. "What is it, father?" he asked. "Ben," said the oltj^-deacon, "tell them to go to !" "Yes, father," replied the governor obediently, and he went back and did just that.—Saturday Evening Post.

The calendar year is closing with every indication that the remarkable volume of exports will remain at the flood. A bulletin from the bureau of statistics at Washington is testimony to this effect The bulletin deals with the exports of domestic breadstuffs, meat and dairy products, food animals, cotton and mineral oils for November and for the 11 months of the present year ended with November. The total of these exports for November was 1105,811,000 against $99,841,000 in 1905, and for the 11 months $788,257,000 compared with $703,569,000 last year. The December returns are not likely to show any relative decrease, and the entire year is fairly certain to show a large advance over last. Several features of the bulletin showing command special interest. Though there was something of a falling off in this class of exports for the month, our shipments abroad of meat and^dairy products and of food cattle'^s^e »208,- 979,000 in 1906, or more than $20,000,- 000 in excess of these of the same 11 months of 1905. Legislation by congress and the steps taken by the administration in accordance therewith, aiming at safeguarding the purity of the output, have increased foreign confidence. The figures are of value as proving that while we sell abroad less barley, oats and corn, we are disposing in large quantity of what may be called the finished products from such raw material. The Americans are feeding more of the grain to live stock and selling more cattle and meat tc the old world! This is really an economic advantage, as finding a market for the higher valued product al tways is. The bulletin accentuates the predominance of this country as a source of food supply, while the com^ plete returns are pretty certain to prove that it lias been a big year for exports of manufactures also. Poland'* Pitiable Condition. The situation of Poland to-day Is pitiable. Business in Warsaw has fallen off 50 per cent, and more; the fashionable boulevards are partly deserted; the restaurants are but half filled, and the leading hotel is running at a loss. The city swarms with troops, but martial law brings only oppression, not security. Hardly a day passes but officials are killed or wounded by the terrorists, while suspected persons are arrested, clubbed or shot to death by:the authorities. The terrorists are strong enough to defy the government, while the government is strong enough to crush a general revolt, and the result is anarchy. When it will end no one can tell. But tsume day, says G. H. Blakeslee in the Outlook, peace will surely come, for Poland is to have autonomy. The Poles demand it. The great majority of the Russian Duma has promised It, and Russian liberalism must eventually win. Romance of Motor Travel. The motor car has rescued the romance of travel, freeing it from the Irritating compulsions and contacts of the railway, the bondage to fixed hours and the beaten track and approach to each town through the area of ugliness ,and desolation created by the railway itself. With the motor, says Edith Wharton, in Atlantic, we have regained the wonder, the adventure and the novelty which enlivened the way of our posting grandparents; above all, the delight of taking a town unawares, stealing on It by back ways and unchronicled paths, surprising in it some intimate aspect of past time, some silhouette hidden for half a century or more by the ugly mask of railway embankments and the glass and iron bulk of a huge station. Then the villages that one missed and yearned for from the windows of the train—the villages have been given back to us. Mexico winds up its year with a remarkably satisfactory financial showing. She reports exports of $271,000,- 000, an increase of nearly $63,000,000 over the preceding year, and imports of $220,651,000, a gain of over $42,000,- 000. But what is still better is the advance along all the lines of domestic development. Mexico is literally, living in peace and plenty, with the most efficient of governments under the wise directing hand of President Diaz. The day of upheavals' and factional disorders, resulting in general demoralization, seems to be past forever. Mexico has leaned the secret of wise self-government Wide Range of Subjects Covered in the Document of the State's Chief Executive. RAILROAD RATES TOO HIGH Suggestion That All Roads in Lower Peninsula Earning $1,000 a Mile Charge but Two Cents a Mile —Proposed Disposition of Primary School Fund. I*nsing.—The second inaugural message of Gov. Warner, read to the house end senate of the Forty-fourth legislature January 3, covers a wide range of subjects. It begins with a reference to the exceptional prosperity of the state's financial condition. The governor goes on record as favoring the calling of a constitutional convention in accordance with the expressed wishes of the people. Showing the financial position of the state, the following figures are given: "The balance in the state treasury, at the close of the fiscal year 1906, was 11,929,361.75. By reason of the payment of back taxes by railroad companies, the treasury balance, at the close of the last fiscal year, was $11,003,792.08. The state tax levy decreased from $3,869,724.67 in 1906 to $3,3S3,7S5.29 in 1906. The aggregate of all taxes, both state and local, levied In Michigan in 1905, was $27,402,198.86, and in 1106 approximately $2ti,3Sl,O00. The amount received from railroad companies In 1905 was $1,759.840.15, and in 190« $8,108,- 712.26. The latter sum includes the back taxes mentioned above. In 1905 the insurance companies of other states.operating in Michigan paid into the state treasury in taxes $32'.'.6O0.91. and in 1906 $422,- •42.55. Inheritance taxes collected in 1905 aggregated' $187.35'».38, and in 1906 $289,044.- 64. In 1905 corporations paid the state franchise fees.amounting to $69,910.42, and In 1906, $92,111.1)7. During the first 11 months of the year Just closed the state received $132,089.31 interest on deposits of surplus state funds in various banks throughout the state. The balance in -the state treasury, at the close of business, December 33, 1906, was $2,323,894.73. "The assessed valuation of the taxable property of the state was $1,574,422,770 in 1906, the average rate of taxation for that year for all purposes being $17.40 per $1,000 of valuation. It is estimated that the assessed valuation for 1907 will be $1,601,493,690, making the average rate of taxation about $16.40 per $1,000 of valuation. Good Financial Condition. "This satisfactory condition of the finances of the stare reflects quite faithfully the general condition of the financial and business institutions of the state as well as of the citizens of the state generally. There has not been a failure of a state or national bank in Michigan during the past four years. This fact reflects great credit on those officials who are charged with the duty of supervising these institutions." The reports of the boards of control of the various state Institutions show, the governor points out, that the state has recei»;?d honest, economical and intilligent service. He recommends a liberal spirit in dealing with the needs of the Institutions and a watchfulness in seeing that the funds appropriated are expended with care and economy. The necessity for increasing the accommodations of the hospitals and asylums for the insane and feeble minded is shown, as well as the Importance of carrying on the care and education of the deaf and dumb, the blind, and the dependent children of the state. The work done by the state department of health since Us reorganization by the last legislature is highly praised. A recommendation that the health laws of the state be modified and simplified follows. On the subject of Insurance the governor calls attention to the conference of February last, participated in by several state, and recommends that bills prepared by a committee appointed by that conference be given careful attention. The message continues: "The indeterminate sentence law, although of comparatively recent enactment in this state and providing for a radical change In the manner of sentencelng persons convicted of crime and terminating the period of imprisonment, is working satisfactorily. Dairy and Food Department. "The work of the dairy and food department lias been greatly extended during the past two years. Conforming to the suggestions made in my first Inaugural message, the legislature made provision for7 the new lines of worlf. Chief among the extended powers granted to the department, in addition to increased appropriations for its laboratory, were the supervision of and the giving Of police power over the condition under which food and drink products are produced, the control of dairy sanitary conditions from the farm where the milk is produced to the time of delivery to the consumer, in the form of either milk, cream, butter or cheese, the control of the sanitary condition of bakeries, confectioneries and ice cream plants, and the making it possible to appoint a sufficent number of inspectors to enforce the several provisions of the law. "During the past year, congress has passed what is known as the national pure food law and meat Inspection law. The application of the new regulations of the national food law will apply, BO far as the United States authorities are concerned, only to food products passing the borders of the state. In so far as It is practicable, without surrendering any of the advantages of the Michigan law over that of the national law, I recommend that the requirements of the Michigan law be made to conform with those of the national law. Need of Good Roads. "It Is an unpleasant, though Well established fact,' I think, that some states contiguous to Michigan can justly boast the possession of roads far superior to those of this state. Michigan has been lagging In this enterprise. The need of active work in the direction of improving our highways is Imperative. Good roads are of great value to all classes of our people, and an economically and intelligently conducted system of road building will prove to be a paying investment. The detailed report of the state highway commissioner is commended to your careful consideration. , "That there Is a very general demand for the enactment of a law placing private bangs under state supervision cannot be denied.

"The subject of direct nomination of candidates far public office demands your consideration. Act. No. 181, of the Public Acts of li>06, known as the primary election law, was passed and received my approval. Experience.under it has demonstrated that in some particulars amendment is necessary, but that the law is satisfactory in the main is demonstrated by the fact that in the campaign just closed it was not an issue. The silence of both press and public speakers on this subject was in striking contrast with the conditions of t w o years before. "Chief a m o n g the defects in the primary election Taw which its operation has pointed out Is that both to the candidate and the public it is too expensive. While the new law properly and quite successfully stopped the corrupt use of money, it has not operated as its framers thought it would operate, to cut down the expense of a Campaign, for nomination, but has rata** aggravated that evil. The poor mau ought not thus to be placed at a disadvantage in a contest with a man of means. The provision of the l a w requiring* signatures to nomination blanks, ought t a be radically amended, making the minimum and maximum number of signatures required very small and very near together. .

It is also true that whatever method of employing convicts is adopted, the product Of their labor, when placed upowtho maTket by the state or contractor, whether used by an Individual or In a state institution, will, to that extent, displace the product of free labor. This result of their labor Is a condition we all deplore, but it has never been and never can be entirely done away with.

U s e Per I n t l r e Revenue. "Thus would the entire revenue from specific taxes be used for educational Surposee and the direct tax levy be reuced by over $1,000,000 annually, and, is a large majority of school districts, the total amount of money to be raised by direct taxation would be reduced. In the thousand or more districts, where, under the present system, the money is piling up and lying Idle In their treasurers' hands, the apportionment suggested would pay their share of the direct tax they are now required to raise for the support of the higher educational Institutions. "If this recommendation is adopted, the one-quarter mill ' tax now provided for the university, the one-tenth mill tax now levied for the support of the agricultural college, and the direct tax levied under the existing system for the maintenance of the other Institutions specifically mentioned, can be paid out of the primary school interest fund, and the direct tax levy reduced to that extent. "I concur in the recommendation of the state tax commission that the law governing the taxation of express companies be amended so as to eliminate, from the computation on which the tax is based the oqean mileage nf these companies. The inclusion of this mileage renders the result little less than farcical. "The satisfactory operation of the ad valorem system of assessing railroad property suggests the desirability of extending this system so as to include the property of telegraph and telephone companies. The present method of taxing the latter corporations 1B uncertain ana unsatisfactory. These objections can be overcome and greater justice attained by the application of the ad vulorem syst.im to these corporations. "The ad valorem system of assessing railroad property for taxation Is so firmly established as the policy of the state that the general subject of taxation of railroads does not call for any extended treatment in this message, v "One of the most important jcaBes in which the state has been directly interested ,and which h a s . been finally concluded in favor of the state, except In one Instance, "We referred to a s the railroad tax case, i n •which the supreme court of the United States upheld the constitutionality..*?.oou»: present method St. taxing, railroad property.

"If convicts were to be employed building roads the same objection could and would be made by those who would maintain, and correctly too, that the increased cost of the prisoners' maintenance and the prevention of escapes would employ many more free laborers than are now employed on the highways. "Assuming, then, that prisoners must be employed and employed within enclosures, we are compelled to ohoose between the three systems by which this labor can be used; namely, the contract system by which the state receives a certain stated price per day for each convict; the piece price plan, where the amount paid is based upon the number of articles made, and the state account system, by which the labor is used by the state and the product sold by the state In the open market. For Binder Twine Plant. "Manufacturing binder twine on state account has been a success so far as it has been established. Binder twine is certainly a staple commodity that can be sold to our own people, and while no one can pretend that its sale by the state to Michigan farmers would not interfere with the profits of some individuals, that objection should not prevail. If it did, our prisoners would always be idle. We have no factory of the kind in our state and hundreds would receive a direct benefit to one who could possibly claim to be harmed. I recommend that provision he made for the establishment of a binder twine plant at Jackson prison. "The constitution and the laws of the state provide that all revenue from specific taxes shall be credited to the primary school interest fund, now that the state debt has been extinguished, and used solely for the payment of teachers' salaries. '"Until the recent change in the method of taxing railroad corporations was made, greatly increasing the revenue from this source, this profusion of the constitution worked few i n e q u a l i t i e s . Now, however, the amount of specific taxes annually collected is so great th*t It exceeds the needs of the object to which it must necessarily be applied. "1 would not in the slightest degree cripple our primary schools or curtail the scope of their operations and usefulness. They are the peoples' colleges and should have our most fostering care. I do not, however, believe It to be for their beat good to relieve the people of nil share In the cost of their maintenance. All persons are more interested in the welfare of that which costs them money or effort than in those objects to whose maintenance they make no contribution. "I, therefore, commend to your careful consideration the advisability of submitting to the electors of the *tat«, at the forthcoming general election in April, On the subject of freight car shortage- the governor asserts that ^the repeated recurrence of the trouble, year after year, warrants a thorough investigation as to th« responsibility of the railroad companies. He recommends tnat a committee' be appointed to investigate the matter. With reference to railroad passenger rates the governor says: "For the year 1905 there Were in Michigan 1.510.36 miles of road on which the legal passenger fare was 4 cents per mile; 4,920,18 miles on which the legal fare w a s 3 cents; 9R3.90 miles on which the legal fare was 2½ cents; 1,071.82 miles on which the legal fare was 2 cents. The 4-cent rate is confined, as provided in the law, to the upper peninsula. "There has been a steady increase In passenger earnings of Michigan railroads during the past ten years, the average Increase being about 60 per cent, for that period. The reports show that about 25 per cent, of the total receipts of these companies represents passenger earnings. One important company w h o s e track mileage has not been increased in ten years shows increased passenger earnings in excess of 80 per cent. The exact figures In this case are that in 1894 the total passenger earnings of the company were $588,489.79. while in 1904 they Increased to $1,093,235.75. Another company reported passenger earnings of $3,499.- 341.34 in 1894 and $4,818,763.54 in 1904. The increase in this case w a s 40 per cent. Would Amend Law. "I am of the opinion that the law of this state shpuld be amended so as to make the maximum passenger fare that may be charged in the upper peninsula 3 cents per mile, and the maximum rate in the lower peninsula, with the possible exception of that charged by a few independent companies whose passenger earnings are less than $1,000 per mile, 2 cents per mile. The legislature can, I think, be depended upon to deal justly with the smaller Independent roads to which reference is made. Two years ago I called attention to the fact that several railroad companies whose passenger earnings had passed the limit fixed by the htw for a decrease in passenger rates had, after demand for such decrease had been made by proper state authority, been enabled to continue to collect the higher rate for several years pending the final disposal of an appeal to the courts. In that message, while recognizing the right of the companies to such appeal, I suggested that much of the litigation could doubtless be averted if there was enacted a law providing that whenever the courts did not sustain the appeal of the company in such cases, said companies be required to pay into the state treasury an amount equal to twice the excess of passenger fares collected during the pendency of the cases in court. Xhe rase which was the cause for the recommendation of two years ago is still undecided and the company In question Is still collecting the higher rate. I, therefore, renew the recommendation just mentioned. The presence of lobbyists, either private individuals or heads of state institutions or departments, should not be tolerated, the message says. Governor Warner concludes by praising the conduct of the state officials, saying that they have been faithful, energetic and capable in the discharge of their duties. He renews his promise to devote his best efforts to the interests of the cltizenshlD of the state. Pugnacious Tuesday. Miss Ella Preston, a teacher in tha Barryton school, has been convicted of assault and battery on Leonard Campbell, son of Postmaster James L. Campbell. Justice Swift let her off with payment of the casts. Miss Preston la the young woman who horsewhipped Campbell on the street in front of the postofflce.

He aaw that the wind had veered and, even as he looked, large drops of rain came pounding musically upon his wagon-oover. Far in front of them a long, low line of flame was crawling to the west, while above it lurid clouds of smoke rolled away from them: In another moment the full force of the shower was upon them from a sky that half an hour before had been" jftld'udleBs.

His heart swelled within him** aad be. fell again to his knees with many earnest words of thanksgiving for the intercession. They at once made camp for the night, and by Brigham's fire later in the evening Joel Rae confided the truth of hla miracle to that good man, taking care not to ntter the words with any delight or pride In himself. He considered that Brlgham was unduly surprised by the occurrence; almost displeased in fact; Bhowlng a tendency to attribute the day's" good fortune to phenomena wholly natural. AttlMgh the miracle had seemed to Alan a email, simple thing, he now felt % little ashamed of his performance. He wa» pleased to note, however, that Brlgham became more gracious to Aim after a short period of reflection. He praised him jndeed. for the merit rb he seemed to have gained In Lord's sight; taking occasion to' remind him, however, that he, Brigham, had meant to produce the same •effects by a prayer* of his own in due time to save the train, from destruction; that he had chosen to wait, however,- in order to try the faith of the Saints. By the first of June they had wormed their way over'500 miles of plain to the trading post of Fort Laramie. Here they were at last forced to cross the Platte and to take up their march along the Oregon trail. They were now in the land of alkaline deserts, of sage brush and greaBewood, of sad, bleak, deadly stretches; a land where the favor of Heaven might have to be called upon if they were to Burvive. Yet it was a land not without inspiration,—a land of immense distances, of long, dim perspectives, and of dreamy visions in the far, vague haze. In such a land, thought Joel Rae, the spirit of the Lord must draw closer to the children of earth. -.CklV.lc' 7 * " • * i /Throiigfc all tnia tXmf of marebia*; tfe* place whew they should pitch the tent of {srael was not fixed ^pos» When*. • Brtgnam ^xaa questioned arolind the camp-fire at night; hit only reply was that he would know the site of their new home when be saw it And it came to be told among the men that he had beheld in vision a tent settling down from heaven and resting over a certain spot; and that a voice bad said to him, "Here is the place where my people Israel shall pitch their tenta and spread wide the curtains of Zlont" It was enough. He would recognise the spot when they reached It From the trappers, scouts, and guides encountered along the road they had received much advice as to eligible locations; and while this was various as to sites recommended, the opinion had beep unanimous that the Salt Lake valley was impossible. It was, they were told, sandy, barren, rainless, destitute of timber and vegetation, infested with hordes of hungry crickets, and roamed over by bands of most savage Indians. In short, no colony could endure there. They dared not, Indeed, go to a fertile land, for there the Gentiles would be tempted to follow them— with the old bloody end. Only in a desert such as these men had described the Salt Lake valley to bo could they hope for peace.

Rocks, brush, and timber choked the way. Crossing to the south side, they went sheerly up the steep hill—so steep that it was all but impossible fot the straining animals to drag up the heavy wagons, and so narrow that a falsa step might have dashed wagon and team half a thousand feet on to the rocks below. But at last they stood on the summit,— and broke into shouts of rapture as tbey looked. For the wilderness home of Israel had been found. Far and wide below then stretched their promised land—a broad, open .valley hemmed in by high mountains that lay cold and far and still in the blue base. Some of these had slept since the world began under their canopies of snow, and these flashed a sunlit glory into the eager eyes of the pilgrims. Others reared bare, scathed peaks above slopes that were shaggy with timber. And out in front lay the wondrous lake—a shield of deepest glittering turquols held to the dull, gray breast of the valley. Again and again they cried out: "Hoeanna to God and the Lamb!" and -) >, \ CHAPTER X. The Promised Land. -.> 'VaSSo far on their march the Lord had protected them from all but ordinary hardships. True, some members of the company had suffered from a fever which they attributed to the clouds of dust that enveloped the column of wagons wheel in motion, and to the great change of temperature from day to night Again, the most of them were for many weeks without bread, saving for the sick the little flour they had and subsisting upon the meat provided by the hunters. Before reaching Fort Laramie, too, their stock had become weakened for want of food; an extended drought, the vast herds of buffalo, and the Indian fires having combined to destroy the pasturage. This weakness of the animals made the march for many days not more than five or six miles a day. At the teat they had fed to the stock not only all their grain but the most of their crackers and other breadstuff's. But these were slight matters to a persecuted people gathering out of Babylon. Late In June they reached the South Pass. For many hundred miles they had been climbing the backbone of the continent Now they had reached the summit, the dividing ridge between streams that flowed to the Atlantic'and stream* that flowed to the Pacific. From the level prairies they had toiled up into the fearsome Rockies where bleak, grim crags lowered upon them from afar, tthd •distant summits glistening with snow warned them of fte perils ahead. "Down, Down on Your Knees and Pray." the southwest along the rocky spurs of the Uintah mountains, whose snowclad topB gleamed a bluish white in the July sun. By the middle of July the vanguard of the company began the descent of Echo canyon,—a narrow slit cut straight down a thousand feet into the red sandstone,—the pass which a handtful of them was to hold a few years later against a whole army of the hated Gentiles. The hardest part of their Journey was still before them. Their road had now to be made as they went, lying wholly among the mountains. Lofty hills, deep ravines with jagged sides, forbidding canyons, all but impassable streams, rock-bound and brush-choked,—up and down, through or over all these obstacles they had now to force a passage, cutting here, digging there; now double-looking the wheels of their wagons to prevent their crashing down some steep incline; now putting five teams to one load to haul it up the rock-strewn side of some waterway. From Echo canyon they went down the Weber, then toward East canyon, a dozen of the bearded host going forward with spades and axes as sappers. Sometimes they made a mile in five hours; sometimes they were less lucky. But at length they were lighting their way up the choked East canyon, starting fierce gray wolves from their lairs in the rocks and hearing at every rod of their hardfought way the Bwift and unnerving song of the coiled rattlesnake. Eight fearful miles they tolled through this gash in the mountain; then over another summit—Big many of the bearded host shed tears, for the hardships of the way had weakened them. Then Brlgham came, lying pale and wasted in his wagon, and when they saw him gaze long, and heard him finally say: "Enough—drive on!" they knew that on this morning of July 24, 1847, they had found the spot where in vision he had seen the tent of the Lord come down to earth. There on the summit they knelt to entreat the mercy of God upon the land. The next day, by their leader's direction, they consecrated the valley to the Lord, and planted six acres of potatoes. CHAPTER XI. Another Miracle and a Temptation in the Wilderness. The floor of the valley was an arid waste, flat and treeless, a far sweep of gray and gold, of sage-brush spangled with sunflowers, patched here and there with glistening beds of salt and soda, or pools of the deadly alkali. Here crawled the lizard and the rattlesnake; and there was no music to the desolation save the petulant chirp of the cricket At the sides an occasional stream tumbled out of the mountains to be all but drunk away at once by the thirsty sands. Along the banks of these was the only green to be found, sparse fringes of willow and wild rose. On the borders of the valley, where the steeps arose, were little patches of purple and dusty brown, oak-bush, squaw-berry, a few dwarfed cedars, and other scant growths. At long intervals could he found a auuna «t wis«*raa*,,or a few acre? of withered bunch-grass. But these served, Pftfe to* ,oanphastoe the prevaJlta* desert tones. The i BQjtejaked earth was so bard that ltf broke th** pkjwi1 when-they tried t* - turn '*&? * Not • until' they had spread water upon it from the river they had named Jordan1 could the plows* to used Such was the new Canaan, the land held in reserve by the Lord for His chosen people since the foundations of the world were laid. Dreary though it was, they were elated. Had not a Hoses led them out of bondage up into this chamber of the mountains against the day of wrath that was to consume the Gentile world? And would he not smite the rocks for water?" Would he not also be a Joshua to sit in judgment and divide to Israel his inheritance? They waited not nor demurred, but fell to work. Within a week they had explored the valley and its canons, made a road to the timber eight miles away, built a saw-pit, sawed lumber for a skiff, plowed, planted, and irrigated half* a hundred acrea of the parched soil, and begun the erection of many dwellings, some of logs, some of adobes. Ground had also been chosen and consecrated by Brlgham, whereon, in due time, they would build up their temple to the God of Jacob. Meantime, they would continue to gather out of Babylon. During the late summer and fall many wagons arrived from the Missouri, so that by the beginning of winter their number was nearly 2,000. They lived rudely, a lucky few in the huts they had built; more in tents and wagon-boxes. Nor did they fail to thank Providence for the mild winter vouchsafed to them during this unprotected period, permitting them not only to survive, but to continue their labors—of logging, home-building, the making of rough furniture, and the repairing of wagons and tools. When the early spring came they were again quickly at the land with their seeds. Over 5,000 acres were sown to needful produce. When this began to sprout with every promise of a full harvest their joy was bound less; for their stock of breadstuffs and provisions had fallen low during the winter, and could not last later than harvest-time, even with rigid economy But early in June, in the full flush of this springtide of promise, it ap peared that the Lord was minded tc chasten them. For into their broad, green fields came the ravenous crickets In wide, black streams down the mountain sides. Over the growing grain they spread as a pall, and the tender sprouts were*consumed to the ground. In their track they left no stalk nor growing blade. Starvation now faced the Saints. In their panic they sought to fight the all-devouring pest. While some went wildly through the fields killing the crickets, others ran trenches and tried to drown them. Still others beat them back with sticks and brooms, or burned them by fires set in the fields But against the oncoming horde these efforts were unavailing. Where hundreds were destroyed hundreds of thousands appeared. Despair seized the Saints, the bitter despair of a cheated, famished people —deluded even by their God. In their shorn fields they wept and knowing at last they could not stay the pest. Then into the fields came Joel Rae rebuking the frenzied men and women. The light of a high faith was upon him as he called out to them: "Have I not preached to you all win ter the way to salvation in times like this? Does faith mean one thing in my mouth and another thing here' Why waste yourselves with those foolish tricks of fire and water? They only make you forget Jehovah—you fools—you poor, blind fools—to paltei = so !*» He raised his voice, and the won dering group about him grew large. "Down, down on your knees antf pray—pray—pray! I tell you the Lord shall not suffer you to perish!" , Than, ai» bet * s * er two obeyed M8o your heart* have been, Ju**V eoed? Then my-tibrn prayer shattatve) you!" Down, he kneU^ln the mjUUt-of the group, while they Instinctively drew back from him on all aides. But as his voice rose, a voice that had never failed to move them, they, too, began to kneel, at first those near him, then others back of them, until a hundred knelt about him. He bad not observed them, but with eyes closed he prayed on, pouring out his heart in penitent supplication. As his words rang out, there had been quick, low, startled murmurs from the kneeling group about him; and now loud shouts interrupted his prayer. He opened his eyes, From off toward the lake great flocks of gulls had appeared, whitening the sky. and now dulling all other sounds with the beating, of their wings and their high, plaintive cries. Quickly they settled upon the fields in swirling drifts, so that the land all about lay white as with snow. A groan went up: They will finish what the cricket* have left." He had risen-to bis feet looking latently. Then he gave an exultant shout "No! No!—they are eating only the crickets I —the white birds are devouring the black pests; the hosts of heaven and hell have met and the powers of light have triumphed once more over darkness! Pray—pray now with all your hearts in thanksgiving for this mercy!" And again they knelt many with streaming eyes, while he led them in a prayer of gratitude for this wondrous miracle. All day long the white birds fed upon the crickets, and when they left at night the harvest had been saved. Thus had Heaven vouchsafed a second miracle to the Lute of the Holy Ghost It is small wonder then if his viewB of the esteem in which he was held by that power were now greatly enlarged. In August, thanks to the Heavensent gulls, they were able to celebrate with a feast their first "Harvest Home." In the center of the big stockade a bowery was built, and under its shade tables were spread and richly laden with the first fruits their labors had won from the desert— white bread and golden butter, green corn, watermelons, and many varieties of vegetabj$j3. Hoisted on poles for exhibition'- we#e immense sheaves of wheat, rye, barley, an* oats, coaxed from the arid level with the water they had cunningly spread upon it There were prayers and public thanksgiving, songs and speeches and dancing. It was the flush of their first triumph over the desert. Until nightfall the festival lasted, and at its close Elder Rae stood up to address them on the subject of their past trials and present blessings. The silence was instant, and the faces were all turned eagerly upon him, for it was beginning to be suspected that he had more than even priestly power. When he was done many pressed forward to take his hand, the young and the old, for they had both learned to reverence film. Near the outer, edge of the throng was a red-lipped Juno, superbly rounded, who had gleaned in the fields " l"cV Lentil she was all a Gypsy brown, and cursed rge r m o v e m e n t s 0f a Gypsy grace in their freeness. She did notj greet the young Elder as did the othWs, seeming, indeed, to be unconscious of his presence. Yet she lingered near as they scattered off into the dusk, in little groups or one by one; and still she stood there when all were gone, now venturing just a glance at him from deep gray eyes set under black brows, turning her splendid head a little to bring him into view. He saw the figure and came forward, peeringly. "Mara Cavan—yes, yes, so it is!" He took her hand, somewhat timidly, an observer would have said. "Your father is not able to be out? I shall walk down with you to see him—if you're ready now." him— (TO BE CONTINUED.) ,0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ONLY A TEMPORARY CRAZE Pilgrims From "the Other Side" Lapse Into "United States" Again.

[Original.] I was sitting one evening in the parquet of a theater In New York when I noticed a young lady in a box in the second tier looking at me. When I fixed my eyes upon her she turned hers Away, but when a few minutes luter I looked at her again I saw that ebe was regarding me through a lorgnette. She lowered her glass and turned away with a look which indicated either repulsion, disappointment or pain. It might have been any of these, but I could not tell which. My curiosity was at once aroused. I did not remember to have ever seen tbe lady before and certainly had no knowledge of having injured her. Be? fore the close of the last act I left the theater and stood on the sidewalk waiting for her to come out. She did so In company with an elderly gentleman and lady. As soon as they entered their carriage I went across the street where mine stood ready and entering told tbe driver to follow. The party alighted at a house on Madison avenue, the number of which I noted, then drove away thinking of some plan to solve the mystery. Before reaching home I bad resolved to write a note to the lady and send it next day. This Is what I wrote: Mr. Royal Prltchard present* hla compliments to the young lady he saw at the theater last evening and who gave evidence that in some way her antagonism had been excited against him. As be does not remember ever having Sees her before, he begs-an explanation. If he has been mistaken in his Inference, he apologises for addressing her. I sent the note by a messenger who on returning said that he bad been told If there was any reply It would be sent later. I waited three days and was about to give up all hope of receiving any word when a note came which read as follows: Since Mr. Pritchard has entirely forgotten the lady he saw at the theater, he need not give himself any concern with regard te her. It is needless to say that I read these few words with astonishment It was plain to me that I had been mistaken for some one else. However, I did not care to have the error uncorrected and wrote again, stating that tiers must be some misapprehension as to my Identity and begging permission to call and clear up the matter. To this I received a reply that the name I had given in my notes was the same as that of tbe person I was supposed to be; therefore there could not possibly be any mistake. The lady did not care to renew the acquaintance of one who had paid her the highest compliment man could pay to woman and then forgotten that he had ever met her. I began to feel that I must have passed through some Illness or met with some accident that had Impaired my memory. I asked several persons who had seen me nearly every day for years if this was the case and got laughed at for my pains. I confided my correspondence to my sister, but all the sympathy I got from her was, "That's just like a man for all the world." I was about to wnite one more note Inquiring for the lady's name, but my sister, who knew the tricks and manners of the sex, told me the girl was teasing mo and would give me no satisfaction; that If I wanted to clear up the nialter I bad better call and call ! again and again till I had seen and i talked with my tormentor. j Had the girl been unattractive I might have dropped the matter. On the contrary, her Image—that of a girl with u face denoting character as well as being pretty—seemed to grow upon me, and I was literally being teased into a condition bordering on the tender passion. Summoning all my courage, I called upon the girl and sent up my card. An answer came that the young lady was not at home. This might mean thai she was not at home to me or that she was really out I called twice more on her, and each time received some message that put me off without twing a positive refusal. Finally, on my third call, she came Into the room and stood regarding me with what she Intended to be a haughty stare. Nevertheless I fancied I could see a sparkle In her eye. "I beg of yon," I said, ''cease this torment, which has become unbearable. If, as you say, I have known and forgotten you It must be through some physical defect on my part, for In health I am sure I could never forget having once seen you." "Did you not once live in B . r she asked. "Yes; when a boy." "And go to the high school there r "Tea." "And did you not carry books for Dolly Farleigh, a little girl eight years four junior?" T o n don't mean"-- "And didn't you*V- "Tell bar that when we ware grown the should be my little wife? Yes, I lid,, and I nm ready to keep my word." I fist sank on a sofa with a delighted •tackle, and I sat down beside her. When she saw me at the theater she tt once suspected who I was and was about to haaard a bow when she per eelved that I did not recognlie her. Sfee turned away, remembering that she sad been staring at a man who might, ifter all, he a stranger to her. It was Ibe look that accompanied this realization that I had interpreted as something more serious. All doubt of my Identity sad only been removed at the receipt »f the note giving my damp. I I atoned for my imperfect memory gy a lifetime of devotion. i BDWABD B. LINCOLN. F:od ^on't digest?

The rhea answers that question in advance. Three or four -flays before the eggs are to open Lie shoves a couple of *them out of the nest with his bill and lays them In the sun. What Is the result? The result Is that (he hot South African sun decomposes the eggs, and the father breaks them as the young birds begin to appear In the nest, and the flies settle on them and In twenty-four hours they are alive with worms—tender, juicy, delicious worms, the best food 1» the world for the nest of new born birfllings."

Writing of Garrick's literary efforts, I suppose not every one knows that he was the author of such well known lines as: Their cause I plead, plead it in heart and mind; A fellow feeling makes one wimdrous kind. Or this again: Let others hail the rising sun; I bow to that whose course ha* run. Or again: Hearts of oak are our ships, Hearts of oak are our m6n. But I suppose every one knows his epigram on Goldsmith, "who wrote like an angel and talk'd like poor Poll," an epigram that conveyed only half the truth, as Garrick would have bi;en one of the first to admit.—London Sphere.

Myron H. Walker, of Grand Rapids, In 8 paper, said judges should exercise more of their powers outside the court as conservators of the peace, saying they could not disclaim responsibility for non-enforcement of law within their circuits. Justice Grant had spoken along the same line, and the question of what powers they had in that direction aroused a discussion, resulting in the appointment of a committee to report next year. In the course of the talk on the subject, Judge Smith, of Pontiac, expressed a willingness to call a grand jury whenever he believed the occasion required, but expressed, objection to the action of one of the supreme court judges In writing letters into his circuit, saying that a grand jury should be cajjed. He •didn't say to which justice he referred. Judge Nelson Sharpe, of West Branch, advocated the repeal of Act .309 of the last session, which practically took from judges the pewerto use discretion in granting changes of cvenue. Talk-of Railroad Legislation. Several representatives regard the street railway supervision clause of the governor's message as pointing the w a y t o state control instead of local franchises. The^ame representatives commented on the merits of the street railway state law of Massachusetts. [The latter gives.; to a commission •of business men-appointed by the •governor the right to withdraw the privilege to operate from the company at any time. It provides that after allowing the company a fair rate of in^rest on its actual investment, the excess must be used for Improvements to the service, and any sum not so required goes to i the treasury of the municipality where the company operates. It limits the bonded indebtedness per mile of trackage, contains a municipal purchase clause and controls the rate of fare under certain conditions. These are provisions which a/ew representatives were heard discussing with favor. The governor's reccommendatlon is that street railways be required to make full reports to the* state authorities, and that the railroad commissioner should have supervision of street railways as he has of steam railroads. He calls attention to the fact that electric railways are extended into many parts of the state. This clause of his message is regarded by many legislators as of very great importance. It is pointed out that the word "supervision", involves the enactment of general regulations concerning the operation of street railways in every municipality. Alumni Memorial at U. of M. Preliminary sketches of the Alumni Memorial building, University of Michigan, are, going forth to every land and clime. A circle of interest will be completed, reaching round the .world. Michigaa has graduates wherever the sun rises. To these men, everywhere, will come at this time a broad suggestion for the alma mater. The Memorial building will be of buff stone, with broad granite steps and landings. It will be fashioned en the massive Greek styfe, but with the lightness and grace, as well as solidity, of Greek memorials. Something in the very outlines will suggest the strength and loyalty of men of Michigan. _ The building will be a lasting gift from the past to the present; Unking forgotten generations of students with the yoking men now on the pampas So, influences long past will continue to foster a noble usefulness. But the Memorial building Is to be more than a mere inspiration. It will HO a daily need in 'college life for students, faculty", alumni and friends. Perpetual care and maintenance Is guaranteed by the board of regents. At the recent banquet of the Alumni association a special committee was appointed, consisting.of Henry •jyRussel, chairman, Wetmore Hunt and Harlow P. Dtavock, who will make a systematic canxass of' the $£troit alumni. When it is considered that this is the first movement on ,t^a part of the alumni at large m f»akipg a substantial gift to .jW^;^«p»r«We and when the amount required is so moderate In comparison* to^|§i. gjjtts of alumni of o(ber universities and colleges, the abundant success of the enterprise cannot be doubted. A email amount f rom each aliiminus will speedily solve the problem AM Discuss Senatorship. Corridors of the Downey house have been jammed to the limit of standing room with representatives, senators and friends of the senatorial candidates It is well that the senatorial question is to be disposed of early, because it fills the minds of the legislators. Nothing else is discussed, nor 'Will be discussed, until a successor of tJen. Russell A. Alger has been selected. Groups of three," four and five are •closely crowded by other groups and in low, earnest tones the all-absorbing issue is being thrashed out. All are Sensation in Senatorial Conttst The Republican legislative caucus met Jan. 2, but, contrary to expectations, made no seJsejljaW-fdrv United States senator. Adjournment- was taken for a week, and In the meantime sensational charges of corruption In connection with the'cauctis'nomination will be thraehed out. Governor Warner, in a statement sent from his sickbed at Farmington, accuses Arthur Hill of Saginaw, one of the four Republican, candidates for senator, of questionable methods. Congressman Charles E.. Townsend of Jackson, Congressman William Alden Lmlth of Grand RapMs, and William C. M& Millan of Detroit, son of former United States Senator James McMillan, are the three candidates in addition to Mr. Hill. Hill is said to have made a combination with State Railroad Commissioner Atwood. Governor Warner's statement arraigns Hill's methods and-says: "For some time there have been rumors, some of which at least deserve careful investigation before they are dismissed, that there have been improper methods used in advancing his candidacy. I have heard more of these rumors from Mr. Atwood than from any other person. I believe the people of this state would, if given an opportunity unite with me in my desire to rebuke such alleged methods." PaUsM Cured a* Iftttiw Credit to Or. Pink Pills. Krs. fi. C Wsliock, of 114 Cleveland Avenue, Everett, Mass., the wife of an employe in the government works at Chelsea, sajrt: "I had been troubled with nervous* new for ten yean and the disease kept growing on me. Then I learnod that I was suffering from locomotor ataxia. I had terrible tremblings m my right leg which would get rigid and when this happened in the street I aad to stand still until it passed away to keepJrom falling. My right arm felt as if a thousand needles were pricking It. The sheet touching my knee 4n bed would nearly cause me to scream out with pain and both knees were so weak I could hardly stand. "I had to use a cane and be helped about by my ion. Then the pain began to settle in the calves of my legs and the muscles became numb and quivered constantly. The cords under my knees seemed to be drawn up tight and the terrible shooting pains In my legs would nearly drive me in* ssne. My toes became numb and at times would prickle as if needles were being thrust into them. My eyes became dull and black spots floated before them. My heart was very weak. "My attention was called to Dr. Williams' P!nk.Plll8 and I bought sev. era! boxes right away and soon felt relief. I was so pleased that I kept on taking them until they cured me entirely, and I have had no symptoms of the trouble for over a year."

Many are outspoken concerning for Whom they sliall vote. Many, too, are non-committal.. These latter make the result of the contest utterly impossible of prediction. The only apparent difference here is that many legislators have come here pledged to their electorate to support a certain candidate. They openly tell where they stand. But there are others who have not made such announcements and hence the uncertainty. All of the senatorial candidates were on hand early with the exception of W. C. McMillan, of Detroit, word being received that he is confined to his bed with an acute attack of la grippe. Big Plans For M. A. C. Fete. Arrangements are progressing toward making the semi-centennial celebration of the founding of the Michigan Agricultural college a very notable affair. President Roosevelt" will be present and at a meeting of the executive committee it was de- 'Cided to hold the niimral meeting of American agricultural colleges here at that time. Between 200 and 300 leading educators of the country are expected to be present. For More Circuit Judges.' The first bill that has been drafted affecting the interests of Detroit is one increasing the nuumber of circuit Judges from six to seven. The matter is said to have received the favorable attention of Gov. Warner. The bill Travelers' Observations Have Proved That Weeping Is Common. Travelers through the Syrian desert have seen horses weep from thirst, s mule has been seen to cry from, the pain of an injured foot and camels, it is said, shed tears in Btreams, says a writer in Harper's Weekly. A cow sold by its mistress who had tended young Boko ape used to cry from vexation if Livingston didn't nurse it in bis arms when it asked him to. Wounded apes have died crying, and apes have wept over their young slain by hunters. A chimpanzee trained to carry water Jugs broke one and fell a-crying, which proved sorrow, though it wouldn't mend the Jug. Rats, discovering their young drowned, have been moved to tears. A giraffe which a huntsman's rifle had injured began to cry when approached. Sea lions often weep over the loss of their young. Gordon Cummings observed tears trickling down the face of a dying elephant. And even an orangoutang when deprived of ks mango was so vexed that it took to weeping. There is little doubt, therefore, that animals do cry from grief or weep from pain or annoyance. governor the number was reduced. It was known that when the bill is passed the governor will appoint Attorney George B. Yerkes to the place, waiting until after the spring election to do so, which will give Mr. Yerkes a year and a half on the bench before the next general election. Desires of State Grange. The executive committee of the State Grange decided to instruct the legislative committee of the order to make an effort to secure the enactment of a statewide primary election law compulsory on all political parties, and the passage of a law providing for a non-partisan constitutional convention of delegates to be elected and not appointed. Efforts to promote the direct legislation program of the Grange will also be made. Mears Becomes Deputy. #Becretary of State Prescott has appointed Clarence J. Mears, of Kalamazoo, deputy secretary of state to succeed Charles & Pierce, who becomes clerk of the house during the sessions of the legislature. Mears has been chief clerk of the department for the past two years. > Safe, Sure and Speedy. No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of medicine. They are sure because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions of muscles, nerves and skin. Allcock's Plasters are the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively Imitated, therefore always make sure and get the genuine. French President's Double. M. Pallieres was until recently believed to be the only president of the French republic who had no double, but his counterpart has been found. The man who most resembles him physically is a respectable merchant of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays his part with decorum and dignity. Ho wears exactly the same kind of blue butterfly necktie with white dots as the president, the same kind of hat and exactly so oddly cut a beard. And on his promenades he is always accompanied by a friend who could easily be taken for the president's private secretary. Dignified and with measured steps the enviable double walks through the Faubourg Saint Honore and feels overjoyed at being saluted on all sides. We daily influence each other foi good or evil.

On one ocaslon Lord Crewe, the liberal leader, made a speech on a subject which he desired to leave a matter for open voting among his followers. Lord Lansdowne congratulated his friend on his eloquent speech. "I have followed it," he said, "with earnest attention not only on account of the importance of the subject but also on account of the noble lord's judicial attitude. I admired his earnestness and eloquence, but what impressed me most was his impartiality." A pause. "Yea, until the last minute I did not know on which side of the fence his lordship was coming down." ALMOST A 80LID SORE.

Her father bad -spent a fortune on her to get her cured and none of the treatments did her any good. Old Dr. Q suggested that he ,try the Cuticura Remedies which he did. When he commenced to use. it the child was almost a solid scab. He had used it about two months and the child was well. I was there when they commenced to use your Cuticura Remedies. I stayed that week and then returned home and stayed two weeks and then went back and stayed with them two weeks longer, and when I went home I could hardly believe she was the same child.

As he looked at it he heard thfe northbound flyer whistle for ^Henderaojft, four miles away. This train makes no stops between Saginaw and Owosso, running at the rate of a mile a minute. Lansing ran to the home of the section foreman and gave tfce warning. The foreman seized a flag and reached a point beyond the broken switch Just in time. The train was stopped within a few feet of it. "For services rendered, $10," was a voucher sent by the Michigan Central tc Lansing to sign. The train saver refused to attach his name to it.

The purity of salt depends upon the source from which it is obtained and the sanitary conditions- under which it is prepared for the market. The supply of common salt, the most indispensable of all the seasoning substances both as a relishing condiment and a well-nigh universal food preservative, is exhaustless, yet even so there is salt and salt, says the Pictorial Review. Formerly salt was obtained by evaporating 'ocean water, a process that left many impurities in the residuum, to say nothing of its exposure to all kinds of dirt in its shipment from seaports.

Upon its arrival it is again handled, then packed in coarse burlap bags, permitting dust to sift into the salt. In this condition it reaches the consumer. Latterly, however, the product of salt springs has largely taken the lead in this country not only for table salt but for meat packing. The annual production from this source in the United States reaches more than 40,- ©00,000 bushels, the state of New York in the vicinity of Syracuse, furnishing a large proportion of this important supply. -" \ NEVER TIRES • I C M I.I No muss or failures made with PUTNAM FADELESS DYES; bright, beautiful colors a certainty.

' , • i ii • • — Importance of the Child. .Prof Felix Adler, In his addrets be* tore the National Child Labor Convention at Cincinnati oa "The Attitude of Soce'ty Towards the CUld as an Index of Civilisation," poiated out that, historically, there have been three views of the child la aociety. There Is the primitive vtew which regarded the child as the essential factor In the system of ancestor worship; the later view, which made him the inheritor and contlnuator of the family honors and prerogatives; and the modern view, which looks «pon the child as so much living material for the society of the future. The classification serves a s a basis for the protest against the wastage of child life under the present system of production. Essentially, however, the three historical views are identical, In that they agree In looking upon the child as bearing within himself the seed of the ideal future, whether that ideal be to live la extra-terrestrial .bliss and In the memory of man, or fthe feudal ideal ^o* family, or the contemporary altruistic ideal of the perfect state. And it is by BO means certain that the last ideal is not the hardest on the child. It Is not only that some of us, in the name of prog* ress, are content to send the child into that Industrial slavery against which Prof. Adler pleads his case, says the New York Post; but that most of us, in recognizing the high mission of the young, persist in placing on their tender shoulders a heavy burden jof) responsibility. If we were* ancestor-worshippers or mediaeval barons, we should be quite content to leave our children in undisturbed enjoyment of their right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness; since in ^merely being they would fulfill their j W p o s e . But the modern child must not be left alone, because there is no such thing as a child in the same sense that there is a eat or a pony pr a picture-book. He is a "potentiality;" and there are pedagogical principles. "TV" INAUGURATION OF - GOVERNOR WARNER FOR 8ECONO TERM. A BRIEF, MANLY ADDRESS. The Oath Administered to too Governor, Propped Up la Bed, Made An Impressive Scene. With No Display. While his aged father, whose hair is whitened by the snows of eightysix winters, stood looking proudly on, Gov. Fred M. Warner took the oath of office at 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon, bitting in bed supported by pillows. An invalid mother whose hands are palsied with age, but whose affection for her son is as strong and ardent as in the springtime of life, directed her gaze steadily towards the sick chamber where the governor was taking the oath to fulfill to the best of his ability the duties of the offlce'of governor of the state of Michigan. It was a remarkable scene. It is the first time a governor of Michigan has ever qualified for office while upon a bed of sickness. It was like the gathering of a little family circle. There was no pretense of a state function. It suggested a little home ceremony that might be of no significance, even to the neighbor In the next block. Instead of the boom of cannon to proclaim to the world that the chief executive of the commonwealth of Michigan had qualified for the office of high honor, there was only silence. Instead of the tramp of soldiers* feet, there were soft gliding footsteps and no one made a noise that could be avoided, for fear that the balance might be turned unfavorably to the governor's condition. When the ceremony was concluded the governor said: "I have no prepared speech, but I will always do the best I can, and try to do the right thing at the right time." Crime IMapsakaoi*. There was an aJCeoUag scene at the Bagiaaw poUca headquarters when Hattle Jubbe's father, a respected fanner of Brant towuBhip, called to see his wayward daughter who, in company with Bertha Konlecsk. is alleged to have been sent to Detroit from a Saginaw resort as a "white slave," -The girl broke down at the sight of her father, who bowed his head in silence, and her sobbing could he heard throughout the cell rooms. She lay ill upon her couch and the grief-stricken parent lifted her in his arms, too overcome to say anything for some time, and merely stroking her hair. The hardened characters surrounding the pair as well as the pplico attendants turned their heads. The girl wanted to be taken home and her father came for that purpose, but her physical condition is so serious that she could not be moved. She has been subjected to such treatment that her condition is truly shocking and she may never entirely recover. Miss Jubbe, her father said, Is but 16 years nld and had always lived an upright life until she came to Saginaw for employment. Gradually her visits home became less frequent and finally she ceased coming altogether and for some time her whereabouts were unknown. In fact, her discovery in Detroit was the first Intimation her father had of the real character of the life she was living. Miss Jubbe's name is assumed, and to protect the family her real name has been withhera. She says Mrs. Smith, the keeper of the local resort who is accused of accomplishing the downfall of the girls, paid their fares to Detroit, and that they were sent to the resort kept by the daughter of Mrs.,Smith, who is said to keep the former supplied with girls from Saginaw. The Detroit woman has fled and the authorities here are on the lookout for her. Both girls say that Mrs. Smith threatened to expose them to their parents if they disobeyed her and that she held all of their clothes except what they wore until they arrived penniless in Detroit, and were taken to* her daughter's place. MICHIGAN ' EVENTS NOTED WILLIAM ALDfiN SMITH BE MICHIGAN'S WILL SENATOR. NEXT a fraojhtr WussiamGonsrai K l l ^ , ss# MCMILLAN IS SATISFIED Features of the Caucus Which Made the Nomination, With Expressions of vthe Candidates. A great popular demonstration took place recently in Belgium. Over 60,- 000 persons marched through the streets of Brussels to the city ^hall to ask~for obligatory education. The* petition presented to the mayor was signed by 200,000 names. Nearly onefourth of the population of Belgium is Illiterate, although the law offers free education to those who cannot pay for it. There is supposed to be a primary school for every commune over 6,500, but only a meager grant is allowed, and the teaching is often of the poorest. The schools are managed by the cgmmune and not by the government, and any private place of instruction may be selected as the communal school. Education practically ceases at the age of 12; what was learned Is soon forgotten, and the relapse into ¾difference and ignorance is inevitable. The schools are inspected once a year. Although the technical schools of Belgium are fine, the primary system of this most crowded country in Europe is wholly bad. A Rare Battle. Thomas Traynor, of Battle Creek, sold Glen Bowers a horse for $140, and threw in a jug of whisky to bind the sale. Ths horse balked and when Bowers demanded his money back, Traynor said: jJAM right, where's the whisky." Bow4JFs could not produce the whisky, as it had already coursed through his system, and Traynor would accept no other liquor than his own, construing the law to ,read tha-t having accepted part of the goods sold and consumed them. Bowers was in no position to demand the return of his money. This unique case has been tried in justice court and in the circuit court, where a jury disagreed. For the past week it has kept the local circuit jury busy night and day, and still is unfinished. Each litigant has spent hundreds of dollars for counsel. ; The name of bridge probably grew out of the Russian word "biritch," which is called out when the player declares no trumps, says Scribner's. The appearance in England between -1883 and 1886 of a pamphlet on "bir- Uch," or Russian whist, failed to attract much attention at that period, hut during the ensuing ten years the present natural offshoot of the Russian form of play—one variety of which is called ieralasch, teralache, .velarash, by Sir Horace Rumbold— became ' everywhere quite a favorite pastime. The game is said by some to have originated at Athens, although it is known to have been played, practically in its present form, throughout Turkey, Greece, Egypt and along the Maritime Alps for actually more than 30 y^ears under the name of khedive. Both Were Drowned. In attempting to rescue Harry Valance, aged 14, from drowning E. R. Gibson, aged 42, principal of the school in Rlverdale, was drowned with t.Ae boy in Pine River. With Bradley Adams, Valance was playing on the ice and broke through. Adams ran to the residence of Prof. Gibson for help. The professor, in stocking feet and shirt sleeves, riuv^d to the river and broke through the thin ice, as he neared the drowning boy. The current Is swift there^ and the two were carried under the ice. Their bodies were recovered at once, but all efforts at resuscitation failed. Harry Valance was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Valance. Prof. Gibson had been teaching in Rlverdale three years and was very popular. He leaves -a widow and six small children, Counterfeiters Caught. v Another arrest was made In Port Huron Thursday in the alleged counterfeit plot owing to investigation, by United States secret service officers. Fred Black, aged 35, a hay buyer at Goodells, and well known throughout the county, Is the latest prisoner. He declares, however, that he had nothing to do with the alleged counterfeiting. Ottcers believe they have the leader of the gang in custody. The den in the "flats" district was searched and every article in the place was overturned by detectives. More tools and implements were found and more light was added when another can containing- several dollar pieces was found. Marshal Malnes expects to corral a big gang before he lets up and several more may be implicated before night self-defense. Conklin Talks. Melvin Conklin, the Lansing tobacco fiend, who is under arrest charged with shooting to death his brother recently, and who had maintained a stubborn silence ever since the crime, talked to the officers for the first time* Wednesday. He told a wild story about a woman having committed the crime, and says he knew nothing about it. Ho had started to commit suicide, he declares, and was Insensible from the effects of poison. - . . . "How'd you know your brother was dead?" asked Chief Behreadt , Thereupon Conklin began to. get sullen and ugly again. Congressman William Alden Smith was nominated for United States senator to succeed Russell A. Alger by the Republican legislative caucus Thursday night. It required but one ballot, which was the sixth, five without result having been taken last week. It stood thus: William Alden Sm^th 98 Charles E. Townsend. 2G Charles Smith : . . . - . . . . . . . . . 2 Arthur Hill "... 1 Mr. Smith's success was brought about by the McMillan supporters, who went to him In a body, after a conference in which the situation was gone over, and it was decided to throw their oopport to the Grand Rapids man, who had conducted a cle*an campaign and whose attitude had always been that of a friend. Mr. Smith subsequently made grateful acknowledgment of the McMillan support in his speech to the members of the legislature. Before the formal result '*»••*. announced , Senator Tuttle mtivea that Smith be declared the unanimous choice of the caucus and the motion was carried. Then came the cheering. Committees were appointed to escort the nominee and the defeated candidates to the speaker's platform, former Gov. Rich representing W. C. McMillan. Senator-elect -Smith was given an ovation when he appeared and was introduced by Senator-Pyfe. It was «everai minutes before he could proceed. He said: "This splendid compliment I little deserve. Mindful of my shortcomings, appreciative^ the ekUms of my friends, I cap. only 3&y to .you that from the bottoms of m f l i e a r f ' r thank you for this great honor? Looking into your faces, surveying the countenances of sympathetic friends, I wish to retarn to* each and every 6ne my grateful appreciation. In the presence of i K c W that are t ?

I Shot Striking Rioters. The Mexican government announces* that it has the situation well-In hand at Orizaba, where strikers burned a factory store and looted business places and private residences on .Monday. The seriousness of the affair Is shown, however, by the fact that the troops were compelled to fire on the main body of rioters before they would disperse, killing 30 outright and wounding 80 more. This conflict took place at Nogales, near Orizaba. One body of strikers numbering 700 gathered on the railroad track and held up the Vera Cruz train for several hours, dispersing only when the cavalry arrived and charged them with broadswords. The Jails and armories are filled with imprisoned strikers. The whole of the property destroyed is estimated at $1,500,000, all belong* ing to Eduardo Garcia, a citizen of France. The dean of Canterbury relates this anecdote of his own school days: In the schpolhouse at Rugby, when he was there, new boys in the first winter term had.rto stand on a table and sing the "Brave Old Oak" before all the boys of the house, If they sang to the satisfaction j»f the house they were taken into it*'good-fellowship. Otherwise they had to drink half * glass of salt and fater, made so thick that they could stand a ruler ^ p isj Jtr He was very sorry *p make the eot> fession that he had to ittak And water. -*: / ' Soldiers Dig. It is claimed that the contractors who have the construction of the M. C. R. tunnel on the Canadian aide of the river, have secured a number of men formerly enlisted In the United States army and stationed at Fort Wayne, Detroitr A soldier, who deserted, made the remark that since October 6 there had been 126 desertions of soldiers from the fort. Afte* the first ones got away safely they were followed by others and every day the number Is added to. "The good pay offered by the tunnel people for laborers, and the relief from irksome discipline is responsible for a majority of the desertions," said this soldier. Girl Missing. Iva Oberlin, aged 13, has mysterious, ly disappeared from the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Samuel Oberlin, in Ovid. The sheriff has been asked to try to locate her. Iva's father, Alfred Oberlin, is living in Virginia. Her mother's address is unknown, the father and mother being separated. Iva has not been seen since she went to visit a neighbor Tuesday night. Scstp and Ear T,om Off. Clinging to a beam near the robf of a barn, the 9-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Worcester, of Munith, screamed in agony while the shafting of a wind-power feed mill tore off her scalp and one ear. In play the child had climbed up among the rafters. Her head came in contact with the shafting before she was aware of its presence. The little girl was taken to Jackson hospital, after receiving temporary surgical attendance. An effort is being made at the hospital to Induce* the scalp to grow again over th<? skull. The skin was torn off from the bridge of the nose .backward, including portions of both eyelids and one ear. Doctors fear she will die. Speedy Resumption. Just four days after the big fire that ravaged the Detroit plant of the Michigan Stove Co. operations were resumed in the molding department. The promptness with which order wai brought out of a veritable chaos, has exceeded even the fondest hopes of the management. It is expected all of the various departments will be in op eratlon by the middle of next week. Increase of Men. Authority has been granted by the military board of the state for an increase m the number of infantry in the national guard -from sixty-five to eighty. It <is the opinion of national guard officers that the larger company !s an advantage in that it permits the training of a greater number of men and insures a representative turn-out when the organization is called on for duty. Secretary Preecott III. Secretary of State George A. Prescott, a possibility as a dark horse candidate for senator, is the latest member of the state administration to be taken ill. He was seized with a chill at 5 o'clock Wednesday night and went to bed at the Downey house. Auditor General Bradley at Eaton Rapids is still unable to arise, and Treasurer Glazier at ChelBea remains in his house with a severe cold. Mr. from desire, but because the hand of circumstance has laid him for the time under the care of his physician, I wish to express my sincerest admiration, my genuine respect and my undying affection as the result of his generosity and kindness to me in this contest." (Applause). A veritable lo-ve feast followed and addresses were made by Hon John T. Rich, Candidates Townsend and Hill. Following are statements made after the battle: William C. McMillan received the reports from Lansing last night over a special wire. He had retired when the news came, but was advised of the final outcome and heard the speeches following the nomination by means of the telephone. "I am very well satisfied with the result and have every reason to believe that the people of the state of Michigan also will be," said Mr Mc- Millan. "As far as I, personally, am concerned I believe that Mr. Smith is well qualified and will prove himself as valuable a man to the state in his office as a senator as he has been in his district as a congressman." Governor Warner said: "I am perfectly satisfied with the result I was confident that the members of the legislature would do that which was for the interests of the party and the state. "I believe the best backing in any contest is gooj true friends, and that Congressman Smith certainly had his share is shown by the result "No doubt he feels as highly honored because of that fact as he does in securing the nomination " Mr. Hill: "We kept friendship; that is a happy outcome of a rather lively campaign." . Mr, Townsend: "I am glad to join in ,?, * / I u m n h of a man who I believe, will do his duty to all the people with. out fear or favor." Three Hundred Drowned. A tidal wave has devastated some of the Dutch East Indian Islands south of Achin. The loss is very great. According to a brief official dispatch 300 persons perished on the Island of Tana, while 40 are known to have been drowned at the Island of Simalu. Achin, or Acheen, is the capital of Sumatra, and the islands mentioned are presumably small ones, as they are not shown on the standard maps of Oceanica. A few days ago European seismographs were reported as indicating a severe earthquake at a great distance. *K was then stated that the disturbance was probably in the South Pacific. It is quite likely that the shock cadfld the tidal wave which has caused so much damage. But the day worker acquires mora coin than the day dreamer. THE MARKETS.

She had been standing much like a statue, in guarded restraint, but at hia words and the touch of his hand she seemed to melt and flow into eager acquiescence, murmuring some hurried • little words of thanks for her father, and stepping by his side with eyes down. In words that were well-chosen but* somewhat hurried, he proceeded to instruct her in the three-fold character of the Godhead. The voice at first was not like his own, but as he went on it grew steadier. After she drew her hand gently out of his, which sho presently did, it seemed to regain it* normal and calmness. He saw her "to the. door qJ. the cabin on the outskirts of the .settlement and there he. spoke a few words of cheer to her ailing father. Then he was off into the desert, pacing swiftly into the grim, sandy solitude beyond the farthest cabin light and the bark of the outmost watchdog. Fever! shiy he walked, and far, until at last, as if naught in himself could avail, he threw himself to the ground and prayed. "Keep me good! Keep me to my vows! ' Help me till my own strength grows, for I am weak and wanting Let me endure the pain until this wicked fire within me hath burned itself out. Keep me for her!" Back where the houses were, in the shadow of one of them, was the flushed, full-breathing woman, hurt "but dumb, wondering, in her bruised tenderness, why it must be so. Jtill farther back, inside the stock- , where the gossiping group yet fingered, they were saying it was strange that Elder Rae waited so long to take him a wife or two. CHAPTER XII. ^ A Fight for Life. The stream of Saints to the Great , Basin had become well-nigh continuous— Saints of all degrees of prosperity, from Parley Pratt, the Archer of Paradise, with his wealth of wives, wagons and cattle, to Barney Blgler, unblessed with wives or herds, who put his earthly goods on a wheelbarrow and, to the everlasting glory of <Jod, trundled it from ' the Missouri river to the valley of the Great Salt Lake. Train after tratlvset out for the new Zion with faltb, that God would drop manna before them. One by one the trains worked down Into the valley, the tired Saints making fresh their covenants by rebaptism as they came. In the waters of the River Jordan, Joel Rae made hundreds to be renewed in the Kingdom, swearing them to obey Brlgham, the Lord's anointed, in all his orders, spiritual or temporal, and the priesthood or either of them, and all church authorities in like manner; to regard this obligation as superior to all laws of the United States and all earthly laws whatsoever; to cherish enmity against the government of the United States, that the blood of Joseph Smith and the Apostles slain in that generation might be avenged; and to keep the matter of this oath a profound secret then and forever. And from these waters of baptism the purified Saints went to their inheritances in Zion—took their humble places, and began to sweat and bleed in the upbuilding of the new Jerusalem. From a high, tented wagon in one such train, creaking its rough way down Emigration canyon, with straining oxen and tired but eager people, there had leaped late one afternoon the girl whose eyes were to call to him so potently—incomparable eyes, large and], deep, of a velvety grayness, under black brows splendidly bent. Nor had the eyes alone voiced that call to his starved senses. He had caught the free, fearless confidence in her leap over the wheel and her graceful abandon as she Hood there, finely erect and full-emrred, her head with Its Greek lines thrown well back, and her strong hands raised to read- * just the dusky hair that tumbled about her head like a storm cloud. . Men from the train were all about, and others from the settlement, and these spoke to her, some In serious greeting, some with jesting words. She returned it *H 1» good pert witkv •at embarrassment ew§a>- the aaUr of the winking wag • wfto called oat; "fcoeythen, Kara Carta! Here we are, and a girl ilka yourself ought to catch an Eider, at the'very- JowMt" She laughed with o W mduat^irV, still fumbling in thtffdusj of tWOfrrn heir at the back- of her heed, showing a rullSlpped month, beautifully large, with strong-looking, white teeth. "I'll catch never a one myself, if you please, Nathan Tanner! I'll do .no catching at all, now! I'm the one will have to be caught!" Her voice was a contralto, with the little hint of roughness that made it warm and richly golden1; that made it fall, .indeed, upon the ears of the listening Elder like a cathedral chime calling him to forget all and worship —forget all but that he was five and twenty with the hot blood surging and crowding and crying out in his veins. Now, having a little subdued the tossing storm cloud of hair, she stood with one hand upon her hip and the other shading her eyes, looking ints& tly into the streets of the new settlement. And again there was bantering Jest from the men about, and the ready, careless response from her, with gestures of an impishly reckless unconcern, of a full readiness to give and take in easy good fellowship. But then, in the very midst of a light response to one of the bantering men, Lzr gray eyes met for the first time the very living look of the young Elder standing near. -She was at •anal to aad Justly balancing tbe other.

Nor was the girl's own mind all of a piece. For, if she flaunted herself before him, as if with an impish resolve to be hia undoing, there were still times when he awed her by hia words of fire, and by his high, deter* mined stand in some circle to which she knew she could never mount. That night when he walked with her in the moonlight, she knew he had trembled on the edge of the gulf fixed BO mysteriously between them. She had even felt herself leaning over to draw him down with her own warm arms; and then all at once he had strangely moved away, widening this mysterious gulf that always separated them, leaving her solitary, hurt, and wondering. She could not understand , It. Life called through them so strongly. How could he breast, the mighty rush? And why, why must It be so? During the winter that now came upon them, it became even a greater wonder to her; for it was common suffering—a time of dark days which she felt they might have lightened for each other, and a time when she knew that more than ever she drew him. * ™ aWS^^a* ^^^B'^w SSBSPVSW *MSSB^ aSj^pSSpa ^BBB* W^k) awasswesj .^^WB^a^aja>^F# ^ apaisyi# ^s^s^^ae. • ? • » .

But, his eyes keeping steadily upon her, she, as if defiantly, returned his look for a fluttering second, trying to make her eyes survey him slowly from head to foot with her late cool carelessness; but she had to let them fall again, and he saw the color come under the clear skin. He knew by these tokens that he possessed a power over this splendid woman that none of the other men could wield—she had lowered her eyes to no other but hlm~and all the man in him sang exultantly under the knowledge. He greeted her father, the little Seumas Cavan, of indomitable spirit, fresh, for all his march of a thousand miles, and he welcomed them both to Zion. Again and again while he talked to them he caught quick glances from the wonderful eyes-—glances of interest, of inquiry —now of half-hearted defiance, now of wondering submission. The succeeding months had been a time of struggle with him—a struggle to maintain his character of Elder after the Order of Melchisedek in the full gaae of those velvety gaay eyes, and in the light of her reckless, fulllipped smile; to present to the temptress a shield of austere piety which her softest glances should not avail to melt. For something in her manner told him that she divined all his weakness; that, if she acknowledged his power over her, she recognized her own power over him, a power For hardly had the feast of the Harvest Home gone by when food once more became scarce. The heavensent gulls had, after all, saved but half a crop. Drought and early frost had diminished this; and those who came in from the east came all too trustingly with empty meal sacks. By the beginning of winter there were 5,000 people in the valley to be fed. with miraculous loaves and fishes. Half of these were without decent shelter, dwelling under wagon covers or in flimsy tents, and forced much of the time to be without fuel; for wood had to be hauled through the snow from the distant canyons, and so was precious stuff. For three months the~cutting winds came down from the north, and thejjaJfittMav winter snows raged about 4a|a*1*{/Ja* inventory was early taken «)£ 4a*aw#x>dstuffs, and thereafter ratieast SNsJ* issued alike to all, whether rich or poor. Otherwise many of the latter must have perished. It was a time of hard expedients, such as men are content to ffvce only for the love of God. They ranged the hills and benches to dig sego and thistle roots, and in the last days of winter many took the rawhides from their roofs, boiling and eating them. When spring came, they watched hungrily for the first green vegetation, which they gathered and cooked. Truly* it seemed they had stopped in a desert as cruel In its way as the human foes from whom they had fled. The efforts of fafLfbain to^nt heart into the people were eUvsicoaded by Joel Rae. He w^4ddaifHke Brifhsun* but not feared. He preached Mice Brigbam submission te the divine will aa interpreted' bjr tb» priesthood, but he was mors extravagant than Brigham in hia promises of blessings in store for them. He never resorted to vagueness in his pictures of what the Lord waa about to do for them. He was literal and circumstantial to a degree that made Brlgham and the older men la authority sometimes writhe in public and chide aim in private. They were appalled at the sweeping victories be promised the Satana over the hated Gentiles at an early day. They suggested, too, that the Lord might withhold an abundance from them for a few years until he had more thoroughly tried them. But their counsel seemed only to inflame him to fresh absurdities. In the very days of their greatest scarcity that winter, when almost every man waa dressed in skins, and the dally fare was thistle roots, he declared to them at a Sunday service: "A time of plenty Is at hand—of great plenty. I cannot tell you bow I know these things. I do not know how they come to me. I pray—and they come to life in my spirit; that Is how I have found this fact; in less than a year states goods of all needed kinds will be sold here cheaper than they can be bought In eastern cities. Tou shall have an abundance at prices that will amaze you." And the people thrilled to hear him, partaking of his faith, remembering the gulls that ate the crickets, and the rain and wind that came to save the pioneer train from fire. To the leaders such prophesying was merely reckless, Inviting further chastisements from heaven, and calculated to cause a loss of faith in the priesthood. And yet, wild as It was, they saw this latter prophecy fulfilled; for now, so soon after the birth of this new empire, while it suffered and grew weak and bade fair to perish in its cradle of faith, there was made for it a golden spoon of plenty. 'Over across the mountains the year before, on the decayed granite bedrock of the tail race at the mill of one Sutter, a man had picked up a few particles of gold, the largest as big as grains of wheat. The news of the wonder had spread to the east, and now came freaaled hordes of gold seekers. The valley of the mountains where the Saints he/! hoped to hide was directly in their path, and there they stopped their richly laden trains to rest and to renew their supplies. The harvest of '49 was bountiful in all the valley; and thus was the wild prophecy of Joel Rae made sober truth. Many ot the gold seekers had loaded their wagons with merchandise for the mining camps; but in their haste to be at the golden hills, they now sold it at a sacrifice in order to lighten their loads. The movement across the Sierras became a wild race; clothing, provisions, tools and arms—things most needful to the half-clad, half-starved community on the shores of the lake—were bartered to them at less than half-price for fresh horses and light wagons. Where a J25 pack-mule was sold for $200, a set of joiner's tools that had cost $100 back in St. Louis would be bought for $25. The next year the gain to the Saints was even greater, as the tide of gold seekers rose. Early that summer they sold flour to the oncoming legions for a dollar a pound, taking their pay in the supplies they most needed on almost their own terms. This passing of the gold seekers was not, however, a blessing without drawbacks. For the Saints had hoped to wax strong unobserved, unmolested, forgotten, in this mountain retreat But now obscurity could no longer be their lot. The hated Gentiles had again to be reckoned with. •*r First, tbe United States bad e*>. m Deeded oc tbe west to indade tbetc^ territory—the fruit of the Mexican war—the poor Weak desert they were making to blossom. Next, the governmeat at Washington bad aenjt. to construe and asfcoinlsier their laws men who were aliens from the Com-.; monweasfb ef JaraeL True. Millard FUlmore -had appointed Brlgham governor of the new territory—but. there were ^ j j f c i e j ^ f r. ^U^tsvs^ax^mft astasia} ss^eVuw^^Ct^B)'^^^ J| aTsssw^ tlces, secretaries, attorneys, marshals, Indian agents from the wicked and benighted East; men who frank* ly disbelieved that the voice of !^r1#- ham was aa the voice of God, and who did not hesitate to let their heresy be known. A stream of these came and went—trouble-mongers who despised and insulted the Saints, awl returned to Washington with calumnies on their lips. It was true that Brlgham had continued? as was right, to be the only power in the territory; but the narrow-minded appointees of the federal government persisted in misconstruing this circumstance; refusing to look upon it as the just mark of Heaven's favor, and declaring it to be the arrogance ot a mere civil usurper. Under sucL provocation Joel Rae longed more than ever to be a Lion of the Lord, for those above him in the church endured too easily, he considered, the indignities that were put upon them by these evil-minded Gentile politicians. He would have rejected them forthwith, as he believed the Lord would have had them do,—nay, aa he believed the Lord would sooner or later punish them for not doing. He would have thrust them into the desert, and called upon the Lord for strength to meet tho storm that would doubtless be raised by such a course. He was impatient w £ n the older men cautioned moderation and the petty wiles of diplomacy. Yet he was not altogether discouraged; for ey^fc J#ey lost patience at times, andfwere almost as outspoken as he could have wished. The spring of '56 found them again digging roots and resorting to all the old pitiful makeshifts of famine. "This," declared Joel Rae, to the starving people, "is a judgment ot Heaven upon us for permitting Gentile aggression. It is meant to clench into our minds the God's truth that we must stand by our faith with the arms of war if need be." "Brother Rae is just a little mite soul-proud," Brlgham thereupon confided to his counsellors, "and 1 wouldn't wonder if the Lord would be glad to see some of it taken out of him. Anyway, I've got a job for him that will just about do it." Brigham sent for him the next day and did him the honor to entrust to him an important mission. He waa to go back to the Missouri river and bring on one of the hand-cart parties that were to leave there that summer. The three years of famine had left the Saints in the valley poor, ao that the immigration fund was depleted. The oncoming Saints, therefore, who were not able to pay their own way, were this summer, instead of riding in ox-carts, to walk across the plains and mountains, and push their belongings before them in handcarts. It had become Brigham's pet scheme, and the Lord had revealed to him that it would work out auspiciously. Joel prepared to obey, though it was not without aversion that he went again to the edge of the Gentile country. He was full of bitterness while he was obliged to tarry on the banks of the Missouri. The hatred of those who had persecuted him and his people, bred into him from boyhood, flashed up in his heart with more firo than ever. Even when a late comer from Nauvoo told him that Prudence Corson had jnarried Capt. Girnway of the Carthage Grays, two years after the exodus from Nauvoo, his first feeling was one of blazing anger against the mobocrats rather than regret for his lost love.

Many of the chiefs I4 the protectorate of Gambia wish to have their sons educated in the new Mahometan school of that region; but there was a bar to their full enjoyment of the education they were likely to receive, says a writer in the Tailor and Cutter. The pious Mahometan papas were afraid that the wearing of modern trousers was part of the school curriculum, and therefore they viewed the school with peculiar suspicion. The governor of Gambia reports that the parents have been assured that their children will not be converted rato "trouper men," and the prospects of the school are now very bright It would be interesting to learn how this suspicion of the modern nether covering arose, and whether the dry goods merchants denied tho natives tbetr ordinary asateeUl Bwt it nay be int that the BrrtttB* Highlanders to wear the kirt years after the battle of Culloden.

The art of starching was not introduced into England until the ingenuity of Dutch women in starching ruffs induced Queen Elizabeth to turn to them when she took to wearing cambric and linen cuffs. In 1564 Mistress Dinghein von den Plasse, the refugee daughter of a Flemish knight, came •with, her hmsband to London, according to an old writer, and set up an establishment for starching, where she not only plied her trade, but instruct- <ed English classes in her art. Lansing.—Gov. Warner is not to be sued by Senatorial Candidate Arthur Hill for toe alleged slander contained in the executive's statement that issued from Farmington. Though this course has been suggested, Mr. Hill «rill not take any such action, and in explanation of his attitude he gave these reasons: "Because he is our governor, lying on a sick bed unable to attend to ordinary business, and therefore entitled not to be seriously disturbed white in that condition. "Because the governor may have had information in the form of rumors which justifies him in hie original announcement. There remains, however,. this for his friends to do, namely, to file with the attorney general at once specific charges which affect the -method of my candidacy, in order that they may be legally Investigated in season to permit my reputation to stand unchallenged before the Republican caucus. SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suffered 10 Years — Completely Cured by Cuticura. **When I was about nine years old small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs, i scratched them with a brass pin and shortly afterwards both of those limbs became so sore that I could scarcely walk. When I had been suffering for about a month the sores began to heal but small sealy eruptions appeared where the acres had been. From that time onward I was troubled by such severe Itching that, until I became accustomed to it, Lwould scratch the sores until the blood began to flow. This mould stop the itching for a few days, but scaly places would appear ;again and the itching would accompany them. After I suffered about t e n years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of hOdy except my face and hands, beet doctors ip my native count y advised me to use arsenic in small and a salve. I then used to the sores in a mixture which almost intolerable pain! In additto* I used other remedies, such «* Iggne, sulphur, zinc salve, 'a *«V Ointment, and in fact I Uentinually giving some remedy * jfcir trial, never using less than «ssj^or two boxes or bottles.

Sickness Among Statesmen. "The reports to the state department of health show an extraordinary and alarming Increase of la grippe and pneumonia," said Dr. Shumway, state health officer. "The recent weather has been extremely favorable to such allmentsTand when men are exhausted or excited and are exposed to such weather their danger Is especially great. The diseases have not yet spread to the magnitude of an epidemic, but conditions are heading that way." Not only were Gov. Warner and W. C. McMillan stricken down, the one with pneumonia, the other with la grippe, but Representative James D. Jerome, of the Wayne delegation, Representative Woodruff and Senator Traver are reported ill among the Mc- Millan men, Representative Benton among the Townsend men, and others, like Representative Erickson, will be kept away from the caucus by other causes.

No candidate is expected to be cheerful if this prospect develops, and unless some of the patients set well rapidly or are constrained to come here anyway, there may be another postponement. The crowds, as already stated, will be very great. From both Saginaw and Grand" "Rapids big crowds are looked for. The Grand Rapids traveling men will be here in big numbers, and the delegation from Saginaw will be much larger than that which came a week ago. Governor Must Be Careful. Gov. Warner's condition has no* been changed materially, although hie lungs are beginning to clear up and those nearest him are more hopeful for an early recovery. Dr. A. J. Miller said that it will be at least two weeks, If the improvement is steady, before the governor will be able to be out again, though he may be able to sit up within a week. Inasmuch aa his entire system is run down and his recuperative powers are below normal, the slightest setback will add days to his confinement. Hhi temperature varies around one degree above normal, with the usual morning and evening changes. He either reads, or has read to him, the headlines In the newspapers, but aside from this every feature of the strife is being eliminated from the daily program. Although solicitous of an early recovery, the governor is at times over-zealous, and the mental exertion caused by it is not conducive to the early fulfillment of his hopes. Dr. Miller is of the opinion that the state executive will have to be very careful of himself, even after he is able to resume the duties of his office. It is hoped that Gov. Warner may be able to leave his bed in another week if be has absolute rest and quiet. Dr. Henry J. Hartz, the Detroit specialist who was called to Farmington, says the governor's recuperative powers are beginning to assert themselves, although a constant low fever with a slight rise In the evenings, still hangs on. Dr. A. J. Miller, of Farmington, the governor's family physician, said that his patient was much improved. Mr. F. S. Neal is in full charge at the governor's home and handles all the business that would otherwise go to Gov. Warner. Mrs. Warner is worn out by constant attendance in the sick room, and is now getting a much needed rest, a Detroit trained nurse having complete charge of the patient. r, Grottoes and caverns are used more or l e u as shelters by primitive peoples and thus inhabited cayes are of course most frequent in Africa.

The conviction of George Tubbs, oV Eaton county, of the murder of John Boutts in November, 1904, was affirmed by the supreme court. Tubbs was convicted of first degree murder and is serving a life sentetnee in Jack son. The murder coused a sensation. Implicated in the murder was the re spondent's father, Levi Tubbs, and his uncle, Charles Tubbs. George Tubbs demanded a separate trial, and the oth er cases are still pending. The victim of the crime was a drain contractor who had the job of constructing a drain across Tubbs' farm. Primary Election Law. It has been'determined at the sec retary of state's office that the new primary election law has no application in the coming nomination of candidates for justice of the supreme court and regents of the state university. While the Republican convention for these nominations has been called It was thought thaat possibly the law would apply to the election of delegates, but it does not and these are to be chosen in the old way. William Alden Smith Is Senator. Congressman William Alden Smith of Grand Rapids received the nomination for the senatorshlp after the moat exciting contest In many years. * Mr. Smith received 98 votes, Congressman Townsend had 26, Arthur Hill of Saginaw had 1 vote, Charles Smith of Hubbell had 2, and William C. McMillan of Detroit, son of the late Senator James McMillan, withdrew. Congressman Smith's nomination was^tffade unanimous amid great cheering. The formal election of the senator will take place January 15. Following the announcement of the result, Congressman Smith spoke, and each of the defeated candidates, except W. C. McMillan, who is ill and has not been at the capital, followed in addresses. William Alden Smith was born at Dowagiac, Mich., May 18, 1859. He received a common school education and removed with his parents to Grand Rapids in 1872. He was appointed a page in the Michigan house of representatives in 1879. He studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1883. He was elected to the Fortyfourth, Forty-fifth, Fifty-sixth, Fiftyseventh and Fifty-eighth congresses, and reelected to the Fifty-ninth con- .gress. He was unopposed for a seventh term and unanimously reelected to the Sixtieth congress. He graduated from Dartmouth and received the degree of M. A. In 1901. Mr. Smith is owner df the Grand Rapids Herald. State Finds Position!. The report of the state employment bureau is out.

There's the woman who spends hundreds of dollars on imported gowns, but hates to give up one penny for a paper of pins.

THE FIR3T TWINGE Of Rheumatism Calls for Dr. Williams* Pink Pills if You Would Be ^ " f l y Cured. Mr. FrankLftllVa well known ciU» zen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. In sneaking about it recently, he said: "My body was run down and in no condition to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheumatic pains in my arms and across my back. My arms and Tegs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I couldhardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pained me so terrlbjy I could hardly stand i t My surinach, became sour and bloated after eating and, this grew so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. , I was extremely nervous and could not bear the least noise or excitement One whole side of my body became paralyzed. "As I said before, I had been suffering about flee years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend* here in Portland told me how Dr. Williams' Pink Pills had cured him of neuralgia in the face, even after the pain has) drawn it to one side. I decided *• try the pills and began to see improvement soon after using tbi This encouraged me to keep o» until I was entirely cured. I have never had a return of the rheumatism or of the paralysis. The pills are for sale by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes 12.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. were filled except..194.

Hays, president of the Grand The railway facilities of Western Canada have been taxed to „:tfre uttermost in recent years to transfer the surplus grain crop to the eastern markets and the seaboard. The large Influx of settlers and the additional area put under crop have added largely to the grain product, and notwithstanding the increased railway facilities that have been placed at the disposal of the public, the question of transportation has proved to be a serious one. It will, therefore, be good news to everyone interested in Western Canada to knpw that an authoritative statement has been given out by C. ers were received, and of these only 3,129 were not filled. Labor Commissioner McLeod speaks in high praise of the work done by the bureaus. To Reduce Railroad Rates. In the legislature bills were introduced to establish two cents per mile as yie maximum passenger rate in the lower peninsula and three cents per mile in the northern peninsula, over all railroads where the passenger earnings annually exceed $1,000 per mile. These measures were recommended by Gov. Warner in his message to the legislature. "T Seeks Change In Law. A bill providing for the repeal of the Bailie limited liability law was introduced by Senator Russell, of Kent. The Bailie law makes it impossible for one to collect for the pain and suffering of another killed by an accident but merely for the actual loss to the plaintiff by the death of the victim. t v. State Supervisors' Associatton. The annual meeting of the State Supervisor's association will be held in this city February 8. Charles H. Kitnmerle is a leading member of the association, and it is expected there will be another railroad assessment to be discussed by the date of the meet* ing. Trunk Pacific Railway, that that railway will do its share towards moving the crop of 1907 from Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba to tide water, and thus assist in removing a serious obstacle which has faced the settlers during recent years. Mr. Hays, who has just completed a trip from Portage la Prairie to Edmonton in a prairie schooner, a distance of 735 miles, which was covered in eighteen days, is enthusiastic about the country. This will be gratifying to settlers in the Canadian West even if Mr. Hays declines to be bound to a time limit with the exactitude of a stop-watch. The Grand Trunk Pacific road will be in a position to take part in the transportation of the crop of 1907, and that will be satisfactory to the settlers in that country when the harvest is garnered. The wheat crop of 1906 in Western Canada was about 90,000,000 bushels, and, with the Increased acreage which is confidently expected to be put under crop next year, it is safely calculated that fully 125,000,000 bushels will be harvested in 1907. The necessity for increased transportation facilities are, therefore, apparent, snd the statement made by Mr. Hays will bring encouragement to the farmers of the Canadian West, new and old. The opening up of additional thousands of free homesteads is thus assured by the agent of the Canadian Government, whose address appears elsewhere.

The plant, the main part of which was ail stories in bight, and extended from Jefferson avenue toward the river to Wight street—a distance of three blocks, with half a block frontage— was practically destroyed, the main onlce being the only part of the structure left intact at the time the fire was gotten under control. George H. Barbour, general man* ager of the company, estimates the loss at considerably beyond $400,000, the amount of the Insurance. It may be more than $500,000. Through the burning of the plant 2,200 men are thrown out of employment, and the fire removes from Detroit's municipal map one of its oldest and most honored business institutions. Death in violent form came to one man and,several oth,er persons were &»ore or less seriously injured. The dead man's body lies unidentified at the county morgue—the others are being cared for at various Institutions. Despite the fact that their great plant was almost swept away by fire, the officials of the Michigan Stove Co. immediately began preparations to rebuild and resume operations. General Manager Barbour said, as he stood by the smouldering ruins: "Our. engineer informs me that the power of the plant remains intact. The engines and boilers are practically untafrrtd, and we shall go to work to re- " totlieV as rapidly as possible. The 9*4* office fronting on Jefferson ave- 'UM, the display room, the foundry and one storage building remain in very good Bhape. It is difficulty this time to estimate the loss. It may be anywhere from $500,000 to $750,000. In exact figures our Insurance is $380.- 000." There is absolutely no clue as to the) origin of the fire. It started at a most inopportune time of the day; at a time when a great many of the firemen were at supper. Educated Himseff. William D.

Hints for the Pipe Lover* The Canadian Cigar and Tobacco Journal gives some hints to those who smoke pipes. Everybody thinks he knows how to smoke a pipe, but to do it perfectly is not easy. "Time is a keynote of successful pipe smoking," says the Journal, "and another is gentleness. Take it easy. Don't crowd the pipe to the top of the bowl. Never get a pipe hot. Keep cook and keep your pipe cool. You can relight a pipe, and If you are an old smoker you will be all the better for It When yon have finished do not refill a heated pipe." Always to Be Depended Upon. When a person gets up in the morning with a dull headache and a tired, stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain indication that the liver, or bowels, or both, are decidedly out of order. At such times Nature, the wisest and best of doctors, takes this means to give warning that she needs the help and gentle assistance which can best be obtained from that old family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use for over a century. They are the same fine laxative tonic pill your grandparents used when doctors were few and far between, and when people had to have a remedy that could absolutely be depended upon. Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon, and are sold-in every drug and medicine store, plain or sugar-coated. HEAD8 SHAPED TO ORDER. German Doctor Explains Causes of VaHeue Formations. At a recent convention of German naturalists and doctors Dr. Walcher, of Stuttgart, in an instructive paper put forth a sensational theory to explain the formation of the shape of the head of infants, He maintained that the head of a child could be molded artificially. He found by experience that when a medium-shaped head is placed in a soft cushion the child turns on its back, or rests on the back.of its head, in order to free mouth, nose and face. In this manner the head rests smoothly, and a short head is developed. But if the mediumshaped head of a child is placed on a hard under-rest, like a hair mattress or' rolled carpet, the child's head turns aside, as it cannot stand any more on its head than an egg, for the muscle of the back is weakened. Therefore, with continued resting on the side a long head is developed. To prove his assertions the lecturer presented a child whose mother and sister are short-headed. The child at its birth had a short head, now after IS months it Is long skulled. If the child had been placed on its back, according to other experiences its head would have been short-shaped. Dr. Walcher did not deny that the shape of the head was inherited, but asserted that it could be greatly influenced by the way the child' rested. COSTLY PRESSURE. Survived the Pressure'. Burled under a mass of two or three tons of slate, Conrad Kuendinger, a miner employed at the Whatcheer shaft, Bay City, could scarcely breathe, and could not call out. He lay for 45 minutes pinned to the earth until discovered by a coal driver. It required 15 minutes to release htm. Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee. A resident of a great western state puts the case regarding stimulants with a comprehensive brevity that is admirable. He says: "I am 56 years old and have had considerable experience with stimulants. They are all alike—a mortgage on reserved energy at ruinous interest As the whip stimulates but does not strengthen the horse, so do stimulants act upon the human system. Feeling this way, I gave up coffee and all other stimulants and began the use of Poatum Food coffee some months ago. The beneficial results have been apparent from the first. The rheumatism that I used to suffer from has left me. I sleep sounder, my nerves are steadier and my brain clearer. And I bear testimony also to the food value of Postum—something that is lacking in coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Since my first arrival in America X have held that the real spirit is idealistic and that the average Individual American is controlled by idealistic impulses. Those who may contradict me can not have sounded the depths of the philosophy of Ralph Waldo Emerson, or studied the life and read the speeches of Abraham Lincoln, and considered their far-reaching effect on the American people. In Lincoln's great character nothing can be more striking than the way in which he combined reality and the loftiest ideal, with a thoroughly practical capacity to achieve that ideal by practical methods. This faculty seemed to give him a far-sighted, almost superhuman vision, which enabled him to pierce the clouds obscuring the eight of the keenest statesmen and thinkers of his age—Baron Speck von Sternburg, In Forum.

" 'Now, sonny,' she would say, 'swelter this,' and aoe'd hold the yellow mortal In thumb and forefinger close to my ttpa. "I'd begin to whimper. The smell of It and the Idea of the lather that would form in my mouth—the lather I'd have to swallow—would fill me with despair. But my mother was inexorable. With stiff lips I'd take the soap Into my mouth, I'd <hew the toft and slippery stuff a little and then, with a groan and a dreadful gulp, I'd swallow it. Horrors!

Cn tbe invitation of tbe Merchant's .and Manufacturers Club of Monroe, tbe Eastern ilK-bigae Press Club enjoyed a trip to that b.storic city, on Friday Uft, tbe occasion of their regular mid-winter meeting. About 150 editors, with tbeir wires, daughters or sweethearts, were present and passed very pleasant and profitable afternoon and evening. Ontside of those who have made history a study, are probably none who realize that Monroe was one o tbe first places settled in this state. Tt is noted the sttte over, and in fact in several other states, as a "nursery city,r and well it may be, for there is bat tew it any other places in the United States where tbere are larger or better nurseries. Tbe Press Clnb were tbe guests of tbe D. U. R from Detroit to Monroe, a social car being placed at their disposal by the company. Tbey left Detroit at 1245 and arrived in Monroe at abont 2 o'clock*, where they were taken in tow by tbe recaption committee and given a souvenir ribbon, with a real Indian arrow attached. Twenty carriages were at once provided for and a trip was made through the town. A. 8. Bragdon, Jr. of the Record- Commercial, was eyery where pres ent to see that every member of tbe Press Clnb enjoyed themselves. The first stop was made at the borne of General Caster at Monroe and Second street, and in which tbe party was deeply interested; the Monroe Foundry & Furnace Co., where souvenire were distributed; Memorial place where the state erected a monument (or tbe brave Kentucky soldiers wbo fell at the massacre of tbe Raisin, 1813; Altenbeim institute, erected for aged Lutheran people; the homestead of Col. Francis Navarre, where Gen. Winchester is thought to have taken refuge after the massacre; the Monroe Stone Co., where a battery blast was arranged and discharged and 50 car loads of stone was released. One of the interesting places visited was the large paper and cardboard factory where, not only tbe cardboard is made but the same is made up into boxes of every description all printed ready for the articles they ate to contain.

BUILT OF FOSSIL BONES. Queerest House in the World Is In Wyoming. "The queerest house in the world." said a zoologist, "is undoubtedly the famous Bone cabin of Wyoming, near the Medicine Bow river. This cabin's foundations are built of fossil bones. "Bones of dinosaurs jaws of the diplodocus, teeth of the brontooaurus, knuckles of the ichthyosaurus, vertetbrae of the camarasaurus, chunks of the barosaurus, the cetiosaurus, the brachiosaurus, the stegiosaurus, the the printholestes or bird-catching dinosaur— all entered into this wonderful cabin's foundations, making it the most curious and the most costly edifice, not excepting the Pennsylvania capitol, in America. "This hut was built by a Mexican sheep-herder, who ha4 happened by chance on the grandest extinct animal bed in the world. This was a plot of about 50 yards square wherein lay in rich profusion the bones of all the animals of the reptilian age. The heaviest and the lightest, the largest and the Bmallest, the most tranquil and the most ferocious lay side by side. "The place was evidently once a river bar, and Jthe dead bodies that floated down the stream were here arrested, to lie for hundreds of thousands of years till a sheep-herder came along, and, rooting among the bones as big as bowlders, set about the building of the world's queerest cabin." A woman gets almost as much satisfaction out of a good cry as a man does out of a "smile." W H I T E BREAD gimlwqt §isftaUk r*4Xft U A v a s t * * Fnfe <-vr * nKCKXXT, MICH1QAJ Make Marriage En^aaemanta PubJte. About the only practicable improvement in marriage is that suggested by a Kansas legislator; who is going J» Introduce a bill compelling the publication of marriage engagements for 30 days preceding the ceremony. This, of course, is already the Custom in some circles of society, where marriage engagements are , invariably made public. Among the Jews , engagements are regarded as only one degree less sacred than marriage itself. In Europe the laws of most countries compel the publication of banns of marriage, so that the whole community is made aware.that matrimony is contemplated and any impediment to the match may be discovered. But among a large majority of people in the United States no 4uch provision is made. Hasty marriages are frequent, and even when engagements are of some length they are not always acknowledged. This, of course, makes deception easy, and even crime. A man may marry 40 wives, as Hoch did, says the Chicago Journal, and unless some unusual circumstance irises he may escUpe detection. A law compelling the publication of marriage engagements would undoubtedly lessen the evils attending matrimony in this country. If for 30 days before the knot is tied the news were circulated and discussed by everybody interested, many a bad marriage would be prevented and much suffering would be avoided. Marriage is a very important event in human life, and the state should take every means to make it safe. No Good Definition of Death. Tests fcu^ death occupy considerable space in medico-legal literature, and yet they leave much to be desired in the way of certainty. There is astonishingly little evidence that anyone is ever burled alive, and even if true, suffocation would prevent regaining conscionaaABav The stories of suffering revealed by opened coffins are merely old wives' tales of stormy winter evenings when weird shadows were cast by the fireplace, but they have created a popular idea that burial alive is common and that we must have a sure test for death. Yet there is no good definition of death, and we can never have a test for the unknown. To Loeb and his school, life of protaplasm is merely the total of its reactions BB a chemical machine— a theory already venerable with age, but no nearer proof than it was 2,500 years ago. Resuscitation of those apparently dead has been fairly common, declares the American Medicine. The startling thought has been announced |fciat perhaps they were really deadf*u|»isyihe body had ceased its : activities tnrd "team work" was end- ! ed. It was like a factory in which work had stopped, but the workmen were still standing around idle though ready to begin if the machine were started again. It needed some one to turn on the steam, or correct some defect or breakdown. Makes Trouble for People with Weak intestinal Digestion. A lady in a Wis. town employed a physician who instructed her not to eat white bread for two years. She tells the details of her sickness and she certainly was a sick vmnan. "In the year 1887 I gave out from overwork, and imtil 1901 I remained an invalid in bed a great part of the time. Had different doctors but nothing seemed to help. I suffered from cerebro-spinal congestion, female trouble and serious stomach and bowel trouble. My husband called a new doctor and after having gone without any food for 10 days the doctor ordered Grape-Nuts for me. I could eat the new food from the very first mouthful. The doctor kept me on Grape-Nuts and the only medicine was a little glycerine to heal the alimentary canal. "When I was up again doctor told me to eat Grape-Nuts twice a day»aad no white bread for two years. I got well in good time and have gained in strength so I can do my own work again. "My brain has been helped so much, and I know that the Grape-Nuts food did this, too. I found I had been made ill because I was not fed right, that is I did not properly digest white bread and some olker food I tried to Jive on. "I have never been without Grape- Nuts food since and eat it every day. You may publish this letter if you like so it will help someone else." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

One glance'at'the long low corridor of Santa Barbara Mission, of San Juan Capistrano; another at the solid adobe walls of such a house as the old Morris residence in Los Angeles, and you know where the modern American California found the models upon which she has based many of her most beautiful buildings, says Travel Magazine. If the mission fathers from Spain had not built their missions on that coast; if their followers had not built their adobe houses surrounding the misslqns, the Californian of to-day would have a different style of architecture. Mr. Lewis-James, the leading barytone in the Moody-Manners Opera company, a noted English organization, has had an interesting history. He was born in Aberdare, South Wales, and went to work in a coal pit when he was 12 years old. He sang in local concerts and competitions which are popular among the Welsh, and eventually achieved such prestige in his homo neighborhood that he waB urged to study music seriously. This he did for two years, while continuing his work as a coal miner. Then the Carl Rosa company visited Cardiff, and Mr. James sang privately for the director, who engaged him at once for three years, and afterward he Joined the Moody-Manners company.

A year ago Prof. Butler made a trip to Ger many. He breakfasted with the kaiser and sug gested an interchange of professors which has since resulted in President Roosevelt sending as American educator to a Berlin university. Prof Butler's observations led him to believe that Ger many's recent wonderful advances are due tc "fads" in the schools. He said: "I believe In what are called the fads and frills—In other words, the teaching of physical culture, of manual training, of drawing, of that which trains the hand and eye. There is a growing sentiment in favor of such education and within ten years the personnel of the teachers will be so changed thai these branches will be generally adopted. They will be taught, too, not to a perfunctory or lackadaisical way, but by teachers who believe in them^It will, of course, be hard for those instructors who were brought up with th* idea of teaching only certain things to follow thlB new idea." Prof. Butler is 44 years old and the author of several leading educational works. .

"They moved down to Jackson county, Missouri, too," concluded nit informant, thus adding to the flame. They had gone to set up their home In the very Zlon that the Gentiles with so much bloodshed had wrested from the Saints. Even when the first anger . cooled and he could face the thing calmly In all Its deeper aspects, he was still very bitter. While he had stanchly kept himself for her, cherishing with a single heart all the old memories of her dearness, she had been a wife these seven years,—the wife, moreover, of a mob-leader whose minions had put them out of their home, and then wantonly tossed his father like a dead branch into the waters. She nad loved this uniformed murderer— Ills little Prue—perhaps borne him ,. children, while he, Joel Rae, had been all too scrupulously true to her memory, fighting against even the pleased look at a woman; fighting—only the One above could know with what des perate valor—against the warm-hearted girl with the gray eyes and the ted lipB, who laughed In her knowl edge that she drew him—fighting her away for a sentimental figment, until •he had married another. Now. when he might have let him aelf turn to her, his heart freed of the image of that yellow-haired girl ao long cherished, this other was the wife of Elder Pixley—the fifth* wife— and an unloving wife as he knew. She had sought him before the mar riaga, and there had been some whoUy frank and simple talk between ta«a% It had ended by his advising aarto marry Elder Plxley so that sha night be saved into the Kingdom, and by her replying, with the old rsekleet laugh, a little dry and strained, and with the wonderful gray ayes Mil upon him,—"Oh, 111 marry "him! Small difference to me what man of them I marry at all,—now!" And while he, by a mighty effort, had held down his arms and let her turn away, the woman for whose memory- he'd4d.it Whs the wife Of tfrff enemy, caring nothing for his fidelity, sure to feel not more than amused pity for him should she ever know of it. Surely, It had been a brave struggle—for nothing. But again the saving thought came that he was being tried for a purpose, lor some great work. And now it aeemed that the time of it must be near. As to what it was there could be little question: it muBt be to free his people forever from Gentile aggression or interference. Everything pointed to that.

He put hiriorcfc to the tindev of Irreligton at tjjfefljafffunga? jaeating after his return; There weteno premonitions, no warnings, no signs. A few of the^Elders had preceded him to rejoice at the escape of the last handcart party from death in the mountains; and Brigham, after giving the new<spjn.exs_ some practical hints about their shelter during the winter now upon^tSathiiifcao' invited Elder Rae to addresB the congregation. He arose and came uncertainly forward, apparently weak, able hardly to stand without leaning upon 'the desk in front of him; his facie waxen. and drawn, hollowed, at the cheeks and temples, his long hands thin to transparency. Life was betrayed in him only by the eyes. These burned darkly, far back under his brows, and flashed fiercely, as his glance darted swiftly from side to side. At first-he spofce weakTy and slow- ''" ly, his opening words almost inaudible, so that the throng" of people before him leaned forward in sympathetic Intentness, and silence became ^absolute in the great hail except for the high quavering of his tones. But then came a miracle of reinvigoratlon. Little by little his voice swelled ^¾^ until it was full, sonorous, richly warm and compelling, the words pouring from htm with a fluency that enchained. Utile by little his leaning, drooping posture of weakness became one of towering strength, the head flung back, the gestures free and potent Little by little bis burning eyes seemed to send their flash and glow through all his body, so that he became a»/r6itui* oTJlfe and .Ire, ~They4ee«d eaee word aew^but sttti they leaned forward as when he spoke at first, iaaudibly—caught thrilled and breathless in his spell, eves to the Elders, Priests, and Aposttes sitting near him. Nor was his manner aione impressive. His words were new. He was calling them sinners and covenant- breakers, guilty of pride, covet* ousneas, contention, lying, stealing, moral uucieanness—and launching upon them the curse of Israel's God unless they should repent Such was the opening gun In what became known as the "reformation." The conditions had been ripe for It and in that very moment a fever of repentance spread through the 2,000 people who had cowered under his words. Alike with the people below, the leaders about him kacUbeen fired with his spirit and when he sat down each of them arose in turn and echoed his words, denouncing the pecpie for their sins and exhorting them to repentance. After another hour of this excitement priests and people became alike demoralised, and the meeting broke up in a confusion of terror.

Then he felt himself falling toward the street; but the creaking steps ceased, now by his side, and he felt under him something soft but firm— something that did not sway as the fence had unaccountably done. With his balance thus regained, he discovered the thing that held him to be a woman's arm. A woman's face looked close into his, and then she spoke. "You are so cold. I knew you would be. And I waited—I wanted to do for you—let me I" . He Put Out His Arms and Drew Her to Him. tion, a cry came to the lips of the dozen that *first escaped: "To the river—the waters of baptism!" The words were being taken up by others until the cry had run back through the crowd to the leaders, still talking in excited groups about the pulpit. These comprehended when they heard It, and straightway a line of conscience-stricken Saints was headed toward the rlvex: There in the icy Jordan, on that chUl December afternoon, when the snows lay thick on the ground, the leaders stood and burled the sinful ones anew in the cleansing waters. From the sinners themselves came cries of self-accusation; from the crowd on the banks came the strains of hymns to fortify them for the icy ordeal and the public confession. There in the freezing current stood Joel Rae until long after the December sun had gone below the Oquirrh hills, performing hfs office of baptism, and reviving hope in those his wprdn had smitten with fear. His strength already depleted by the long march with the hand-cart party and by the exhausting strain of the day, he was early chilled by the water into which he plunged the repentant sinners. For the last hour that he stood in the stream, his whole body was numb; he had ceased to feel life in his feet and his arms worked with a mechanical 'stiffness At once there came back to" him the vision of a white-faced woman; in the crowd along the river bank^ staring at him out of deep, gray eyes-sunder heavy^ black brows. "Mara—Mara!" "Yes, yes—you are so cold!" "But you must not stand so close— see, I am wet—you will be chilled!" "But you are already chilled; your clothes are freezing on you; and you were falling Just now. Can you walk?" "Yes—yes-rmy. house la yonder." "I know; it's far; it's beyond the square. You must come with me." "But your house is still farther!" She had, started him now, with a firm grasp of hii arm, walking beside him in the deep snow, and trying to keep him in the narrow pat?h. "No—I am staying here with Hubert Plimon's two babies, while tho mother has gone to Provo where Hubert lies sick. See—the light there. Come with me—here's the gate—you shall be warmed." Slowly ancr with many stumblings, leaning upon her strong arm, he made his way to the cabin door. She pushed it open before him and he Kit the great warm breath of the room rush out upon him. *^Then he was inside, Bwaylng again uncertainly upon his feet. In the hovering light that came from the fireplace he saw tho bed in the far corner where the two small children were sleeping, saw Mara with hTe r back to the door, faclnjr him breathlessly, saw the heavy shadows all about; bat be was conadous of hardly more than the vast heavenly warmth that rolled out from -the-fire-and enfolded Mm. ami made him drank. 4 -+•* c "Again he wlfcd lftre fallen, but she steadied him down on to a wide coach covered' with buffalo robes, beside the Si***fireplace; and'here he fell at once into a stupor. She drew "bet the couch* so that it caught mere or the heat; palled off the watersoaked boots'and the stiffened coat, '"wrapped him in a blanket which she warmed before the fire, and covered him still.agaia with one of the .buffalo robes. She went then to bring food and to make a hot drink, which she strengthened with brandy poured from a little silver flask. Presently she aroused him to drink the hot liquor, and then, after another blank of stupor, she aroused him again to eat He could take but little of the food, but called for more of the drink, and felt the soul of it thrill along his frozen nerves until they awoke, sharpened, alert, and eager. He lay so, with closed eyes a littla time, floating in an ecstasy that seemed to be half stupor and half of keenest sensibility. Then he opened his eyes. She was kneeling by the couch on which he lay. He felt her soft quick breathing, and noted the unnatural shining of her eyes and lips where the firelight fell upon them. All at once he threw out his arms and drew her to him with such a shuddering rush of power that she cried ajpud in vquick alarm—but the cry was smothered under his kisses. For ages the transport seemed to endure, the little world of *his senses whirling madly through an illimitable space of sensuous light, his, lips melting upon hers, his neck bending in the circle of pulsing warmth that her soft arms wove about it, his own arms crushing to his breast with frenzied fervor the whole yielding splendor of her womanhood. A moment so, then he fell back upon the couch, all his body quivering under the ecstasy from her parted lips, his triumphant senses rioting insolently through the gray, cold garden of his vows. And then, as he lay so, there start ed wkth electric quickness, from some sudden coldness of recollection, the Image of Prue. Sharp and vivid it shone from this chill o/. truth like a glittering star from the clean winter sky outside. Prue was before him with the tender blue of her eyes and the fleecy gold of her hair and her joy of a* child—her little figure shrugging and nestling In hla arms in happy faith—calling ^ a s Bhe had called to him that morning—"Joel— Joel—Joel!" He shivered in this flood of cold, relentless light, yet unflinchingly did he keep his face turned full upon the truth it revealed. He sat up on the couch, looking aboufr the little room curiously, as one recovering consciousness in strange surroundings. Then he began slowly to pull on the wet boots that she had placed near the fire. When he stood up, put on his coat, and reached for his hat, she came to him, hesitating, timid. "You are so cold! If you would only stay here—I am afraid you will be sick." He answered very gently: "It is better to go. I am strong again, now." "I would—I would not be near you —and I am afraid for you to go out again in the cold." He smiled a little. "Nothing can hurt me now—I am strong." He opened the door, breathing his fill of the icy air that rushed in. He stepped outside, then turned to her. She stood in the doorway, the light from the room melting the darkness about them. ae» t- T h e y looked loag at each Then in a sodden Impulse of fiatfe tade, of generous feeling toward her, he pot oat hla arm and drew her *» him. She waa cold, Impassive, Ha bent «ver aad -ttgbtlr ktseed hat closed, unresponding tip*. As be drew away, her hand caught * * * * * * * for a second. "4'm gladi* ana aaM. - - ~" • He triedritb answer, bit could.only say, "Good nlfht, marat* ~". Then aw turaed, "drew the wide eef. 'far of ms coat well up, and weat down the narrow path through Cbje anew. 8be stood, framed to the light of the doorway, leaning oat to look after him until he was lost in the darkness. As she stepped back and closed the door, a man, who bad halted by a tree in front of the next house when the door first opened, walked oa again. It had been a great day, bat tor one cause or another, it came near to being one of the last days of the man who had made it great Late the next afternoon, Joel Rae was found in his cabin by * messenger from Brigham. He had presumably lain there unattended siaoe the night before, and now he was delirious and sick unto death; raving of the sins of the Saints, and of hi* great work of reformation. So tenderly sympathetic was his mind, said those who cante to care for him, that in his delirium he ranked himself among the lowest of sinners, in. 3*0*. Imploring them to take him out and bury him in the waters of baptism so that he might again be worthy to preach them the Word of God. He was at once given every care* and for six weeks was not left alone night or day; the good mothers in Israel vying with each other in kindly offices for the sick Elder, and the men praying daily that he might not be taken so soon after hts great work had hegun. The fifth wife of Elder Pixley came once to sit by his bedside, but when she heard him rave of some, great sin that lay black upon his soul, beseeching forgiveness for it while the tears rained down hiB fevered face, she had professed that his suffering sickened her so she could hot stay. Thereafter she had contented herself with inquiring at his door each day— until the day when they told her that the sickness was broken; that he was again rational and doubtless would soon be well. After that she went no more; which was not unnatural, for Elder Pixley was about to return from his three years' mission abroad, and there was much to do in the community- house in preparation lor the master's coming. But the long sickness of the young Elder did not in any manner stay the great movement he had inaugurated. From that first Sunday the reformation spread until it had reached every corner of the new Zion. The leaders took up the accusing cry,—the Elders, Bishops, High Priests, and Counsellors. Missionaries were appointed for the outlying settlements, and metings were held daily in every center, with a general renewing of covenants. Brigham, who had warmly seconded Joel Rae's opening discourse, was now, not unnaturaly, the leader of the reformation, and in his preaching to the Saints while Joel Rao lay sick he committed no faults of vagueness. For profane swearing he rebuked hla people: "You Elders in Ismel will go to the canyons for wood, got a little brush-whipped, and then curse and 6wear—damn and curse your oxen and swear by Him who created you. You rip and curse a3 bad as any pirates ever did!" For the-sin of cattle-stealing he denounced them. A fence high enough to keep out cattle-thieves, he told them, must be high enough to keep out the Devil.

Strength has nothing to do with hands, or rather, it is a distinct drawbeck to their acquirement. The weakling must use other means to attain his ends; the strong man disdains the delicate effects which make for everything of the best in horsemanship. A little SO-pound boy will control perfectly a rattle-brained race horse that no man could hold by main strength; a slight woman will guide four horses as few men can—it is the combination of the attributes named that enables them to do i t Appropriate bitting haa much to do with success, but the novice is apt to I proceed to tho extremes of severity I in his desire to get that delicacy of ! touch and promptness of responso ! which he thinks should follow sharp restraint. The reterse of this should always be the rule, and the horso ; should be constantly tried with lighter bitting effects until the least possible restraint is employed. Hands and mouths vary from day to day, according to various circumstances of ! irritability and sensitiveness, and no one arrangement is likely .0 be for the bast interests of both biped and quadruped. A balanced horse is always a light-moutaad horse, and it is "•p to" the driver or rider to find what best hriaga aboat this result. No balanced hard! cam pull; no puller is in balance.

It is to be hoped that the legislature will study long and well before they change the law regarding the dispensation of the primary school fund.

R Stackable, who is U. S. Emigrant collector for the Hawaiian Islands and is now in England. As Ed. was a former Piuckney boy our readers will be inteiested. London, Eng., Dec. 30, 1906. Dear father and all the family: I have not had a letter from tbe old home for months, but I trust that you are all enjoying good health. I hear that my first steamer with about 1340 persons on reached Honolulu on Dec. 1, after a sea trip of about 14000 miles, and all went well I am pleased to say. This charter of the steamer alone cost 151,225 and other expenses ran up to about a total of 167,400. This is quite a small sum of money. I landed this lot about 135 a head less than any other lot of Emigrants that have been shiped to Hawaiian from the same place and counting the men only at about $120 per man than any previous lot. The passports cost about $12 now and they cost but $5.75 when the brevious shipments were made and with this handicap, I am glad to say that I have made a record that will stand for some time. I have been in Italy, ( R o m e ) France, (Paris) Spain, (Madrid) and in several of the smaller cities in each of the countries named, and have seen a good deal of Europe, but I would like very much to see Honolulu. It snowed here in London on the morning of the 26th, about 6 inches and has been sndWing off and on ever since. The most severe weather, so I am told, since 1881. I have been granted another leave of absence for three months, or till May 7, 1907. You cannot ship Emigrants like you can freight, and the responsibility one assumes when he signes a charter for a steamer involving, say, $50,000.00 rests rather heavy on ones shoulders. Am now trying to secure a suitable steamer to send to Malago, southern Spain, for January 30th, to carry from 1500 to 2000 Spaniards to Honolulu, and am having a most difficult thing t6 find a proper steamer at reasonable rate, although there are steamers enough at anchor in Southampton and London if placed eud on end I believe to reach from the home to Pinckney at least. Steamer after steamer from 590 to 650 ft. long. This is a most lonely large city, and I never thought I could get so homesick at my age as I have been here. Hoping this may find you all well and happy aud wishing on e and all a Happy New Year, I remain your loving son. E . R. S.

According to M. Fabre, drone beetles during three mouths are living barometers, more deserving of credence than physical instruments, their keen sensitiveness to tfie electric tension of the atmosphere being much greater than that of mercury. It has even been demonstrated that drone beetles are affected by atmospheric disturbances a long way off and that they sometimes grow restless when there is a storm more than sixty miles away.

The fruit was small like a crab apple but of a very fine flavor. This is tbe nursery for which Burt Rodgers is tbe agent who is so well kno«n here. Perhaps tbe most interesting and pleasant place visited was St. Mary's Academy and College where we were made most welcome by Mother Superior and her assistance. It. was tbe brst organization ever invited as a body to visit tbe community aud the honor was much appreciated by the guests. An entertainment of marked excellency had been arranged for the visitors, and was t/iven by tbe students of tbe college in the auditorium of the institution. { After the entertainment tbe guests were shown through the different halls, study rooms, art gallery, private rooms etc, and the students were on tbe lookout for friends from borne, Ye editor and daughter were tbe especial quests of the Misses Kubn, of Gregory, Jiiss Brogan, of Stock bridge, and Miss Bessie Bonn, of Detroit, At tbe visit to tbe Greening Nursery offices light refreshments were served, tbe ladies were presented with fine boxes of bon bons, and every one ' was given a "Baby .Rambler" rose : bush as souvenirs. It was already dark when tbe party was taken by the M. & M. club to the Mace a bee Temple where a banquet j was served th m. Monroe's fame in the banquet line has been disseminata j ed from tbe Atlantic to the Pacific of late years owing to the unique "Musk- j rat" fests, which its Yacth Club makes ! an annual feature, and tbe fact that. it is the home of tbe Lotus, that beautiful flower being found in its natural j state only here and on tbe river Nile. | While tbe LotuB was not in blossom { during our visit the juicy muskrat was j fully ripe and in evidence. Although j the average editor tails in a good many I points to qualify as a yajhtman, yet on this occasion tbe succulent and; toovh8orue muskrat formed one of the principal features of the menu. There was a trifle ot hesitation on tbe pert ol some of the editorial fraternity about making any gustatory attempt upon the morsel, probably the misnomer "rat" may have had something to do wi*b it, but their squearaishness was speeily overcome and these who had neyer before made acquaintance with the little game animal as an article ot food very soon became enthu asist.s and unblushingly demanded "more." Many a guest took home a "wish bone'1 as a souvenir. The taste of the meat is similar to the wild duck and equaly as good. At 9:30 the guests took the car for the return trip with many pleasant thoughts of the trip to one of the oldest cities of the state. While not the largest trip of the press club it certainly was one of the most pleasant, and the people of Monroe will always have, a warm place in the hearts of every member present.

Order la slowly coming oat of chaos In the stricken city of Kingston* although there is still a very great and , distreaelng shortage of both water and food supplies. The former is the greateat immediate danger, so far aa the survivors are concerned, as It is a very difficult task for the officials to keep, the ignorant negroeB from drinking the water that is in the stagnant pools oil the outskirts. However, as rapidly as possible. Gov. Swettenham is driving the survivors away from the city to temporary camps, and they will be kept there until the debris can be cleared away and the houses that still stand be made fit for habitation. At the request of the British government, Admiral Davis landed a party of sailors and marines from the Missouri - and Indiana. Co-operating with the British forces available, these troops have made great headway, with the exalted populace. Partial martial law prevails, -but the military is being used principally to direct the work of clearing away the ruins. Dynamite is being used tb blow tip the wreckage. : The assuTance that several shiploads of supplies are on the way has inspired hope and patience, and the general outlook accordingly is distinctly favorable. It Is now feared that the death list will total close to 2,000. An official report just issued says that over 700 bodies have been burled, that the remains of 1.017 more have been identified and that many more are still missing. News from the navy department at Washington that no Americans had been killed or injured in Jamaica up to Thursday night has been received by B. G. Chapman, of Detroit. Mrs. Chapman, her son Ben, and her sister, Mrs. R. H. Higbee, of St. Louis, were in Jamaica at the time of the earthquake. Philip H.

Clark, but has noticod the names of two of his friends in the list oHbe injured. With the crest of the flood not yet in sight and a prospect of a near approach to the immense loss from high water of February, 1884, attempts were made to estimate the losses Irosn this present flood in Cincinnati and environs. • - . . , *« .. The commission houses, which are principally located In the lowland! now under water, have already suffered damage estimated at $100,000. Many thousands will be lost by factories through enforced Idleness and unproductiveness, and more than 40,000 idle men will lose their wages, during the continuance of the present bigb, stage of the river. Not less than 16,000 people have been driven from their homes in Cincinnati and in the Kentucky suburbs, most of them being forced to depend on charity for their food and lodging. Nearly 50 squares in Newport, over a dozen in Covington and a large section in the east and west ends and in Mill Creek sections of Cincinnati are under water. These are conservative estimates of present conditions and suffering, and the worst is yet to come. "Above 65 feet" is the conservative prediction of the official forecast aB to the probable crest of the flood, but the report from up the river caused him to express a fear this afternoon that much worse was in store. The immense stretch of the river, silently and remorselessly carrying before it all manner of property, was watched all day by thousands of people from both banks and from the high buildings, while streauoua efforts were made by hundreds of men to carry to places of safety those whose homes had been invaded by the flood, or some of the household,.effects from the flooded homes..For better handling relief work, Mayor Denipsey this afternoon divided the city into four relief sections. Reports from river cities both above and below Cincinnati continued to come in with pleading for help and food. Some of the nearer flooded town refugees came to this city and are lodged wherever quarters coirhi be found. Portsmouth saw the breaking of the flood embankments and the people fled in terror to the highlands. The high water from the Scioto is being added to the flood in the Ohio at that point, that and the flood from the other tributaries holding back the regular high water from higher up the river so that the second rise seems sure to overtake the wain flood and increase its damage. , j A lift Sarajrin for 12 Cents Postpaid.

The possibility of life without mind, while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through, its advocacy by Dr. L. Laloy, librarian of the Academy of Sciences, Paris. He believes that many of the smaller living organisms, such as insects, are mere moving machines, having no more intelligence than may be ascribed to plants. He refers to the well known fact that insects are attracted by light, often to their own destruction, and ascribes it to the same cause that inclines the plant to grow toward the light ST.

Covered with Yellow 8orea—Grew Worse—Parents Discouraged—Cuticura' Drove Sores Away. Deacon Allen Sheldon, who rerently passed away, was universally respected by all who knew -him, and his stories were listened to with much delight, says a writer in the Boston Herald. Ifo used to tell the following **ith a great deal of interest: When a very small boy he asked his father to let him go with him to the iown meeting. He went, with the promise that when he returned he jvould tell the folks what happened. ^ In those days the church was sup- { Sorted by a tax on every property jpolder. Whatever of interest came up or the church had to be voted on at he town meeting. r The pastor being feeble and his woice not strong, an article In the town warrant called for the removal Of the sounding board from over the getstor's head, since It acted as an extinguisher, and not as originally planned. When Allen returned he told his mother about the sounding board, and said: "Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his squeaky voice: 'Mr. Moderator, I make a motion that we remove the sound from under the board.'" Thoroughly Reliable. If ever there was a reliable and safe remedy It is that old and famous porous plaster—Allcock's.

Nineteen Killed, Thirty Injured. A car of powder on the Big Four siding at SandTord, lnc\, exploded Saturday night wrecking a west bound passenger train. The wreckage was burned. The freight train carrying the car of i>owdcr also was destroyed. Nineteen persons were killed and thirty injured. A boy who walked to the wreck from St. Marys. Ind., reported that nearly every one of the passengers was killed. The boy also reported that the car of powder was sending over S' new pipe line from thev»Jasey, 111., field; that gas had been-escaping from the pipe and had probably filled the ear of powder. Sparks from the passenger locomotive arc supposed to have ignited the gas and caused "the explosion of the powder. Navigation, so Louisville reports; is at a complete standstill from Pittsburg to Cairo, and little hope Is held out for an early amelioration of conditions. It is estimated that more than 2,000 people are homeless on "The Point,'' and in Shippingport alone, and the exodus from these two low-lying suburbs continues. The city council will appropriate money to relieve flood sufferers. Foraker's Bluff. Senator Blackburn on Thurhday "called" Senator Foraker's bluff of yesterday wheh he disclaimed any intention of attacking the president in his resolution calling for an investigation of the evidence in the discharge of the negro troops in the Brownsville" affair. Senator Foraker said he did not care as to the language*** the resolution, that the scope of his resolution was not such as to bring into the investigation the question of the president's power. Senator, Blackburn offered an amendment to Foraker's resolution, disclaiming any intention on the part of the senate' to question the president's right 4to discharge the negro troops., __ Senator Foraker, however, opposed the amendment and immediately entered upon a speech denying the president's power. It is believed that the amendment will delay the final vote on the resolution. Does Not Want the Money. Vice-President Fairbanks doesn't want, his salary raised. He has told Senator Cullom, of the senate conference committee on the legislative appropriation bill, that he will think it a favor if the conference committee stands out against any attempt to have retained in the bill the house provision which raises the salary of the vice-president to $12,000 a year. Mr. Fairbanks' request puts the committee in a queer box.

"Our little girl, one year and a half old, was taken with eczema or that was what the doctor called it. Wo called in the family doctor, and he gave some tablets and said she would be all right in a few days. The eczema grew worse and we called in doctor No. 2. He said she was teething, as soon as the teeth were through she would be all right But she still grew worse. Doctor No. 3 said it was, eczema. By this time she was nothing but a yellow, greenish sore. Well, he said he could help her, so we let him try it about a week. One morning we discovered a little yellow pimple on one of her eyes. Of course we 'phoned for doctor No. 3.

A complaint which had serious results was paid to an actor named Hanson at a little mining town in British Columbia. The audience was so stirred by Mr. Hanson's acting that some persons began throwing presents uson the stage, like speculators at a Spanish bullfight. One burly miner, having nothing else handy, hurled a lump of gold ore. Unluckily it hit the actor on the head and knocked him down, He was badly inured, and it was weeks before he was able to play again. Perhaps the oddest idea of paying a compliment belongs to a tribe of , Indians on the Alaskan coast.

"Pardon me,, Jim," he said, "but you are getting bald, and you know a head of hair like yours is* quite a novelty these days." , . "Yes," said Magenis, "I have been told my hair was quite a novelty, but do you know," he said,, and ;a gleam of fun. was in his eye,.
