T h e First Exhibition of L»fvingston County Assn. a Bid S u c c e s s . That the First Annual Show given by the LiyiDgbton County P e t Stock Assn. was a big success goes without saving as anyone of the thousands who yisited it last week will testify. Since their organization about one year ago they have been t a l k i n g ot and a r r a n g i n g , for this exhibition and with t h e help of the officers and support of the business men of the village were able last week to give one of the bust kind ^>iven in the state. This is the report of those from t h e outside who have visited others. There were about 600 birds entered in the show besides 200 or more that were on exhibition on "midway'" which was one of the most interesting places in the auditorium as it contained many specimens of birds both tame and wild that we seldom s e e . There were birds there trotn a bantam that weighed only 10£ ounces to the wild goose and sv\ans that weighed 25 and 30 pounds, T h e M a n d e n n e ducks were very noticeable for their beautiful plumatre and of course the pheasants, peacocks, doves of all kinds, etc. came in tor their share. Of course the regular poultry men were interested in the "real t h i n g " that ol the sho*v birds, and there were plenty of them. T h e strains seemed to r u n this year nearly all to the heavy ones although there Were a few of the light weights in evidence and j of conrse came in for their share of premiums as there were b u t few to show against. Not so with the heavier strains as th ;re were hundreds of them and many were very fine so that it was only the matter of sometimes a fraction of a point to change the premium from first to second. J . W. M&cNames of H a m b u r g was the j u d g e and he was kept busy all of the time as the matter ot j u d g i n g by points takes time and a good knowledge of birds, and the choice of the association in securing Mr. MacfWmes was no mistake. There were several birds exhibited from this section and while ttiey did not secure first prizes they only lacked a lew points and sometimes a balfj point ot it. M. R. Mortenson secured 2nd and 3rd on Buff Cochins and had he also entered them as a pen might have got a prize on that. Fred Teeple entered three Barred Hocks and secured 2nd a n d 3rd on them a n d on one hen, was off only a half point from 1st. T h e hen had three black feathers. Mr. heynolds not only received the premiums as stated on pat?* 5 but we learn later that he secured a first, as well, and his Orphington cockerel scored 95 and was counted the best in the room.

The man before them was so well known fiat the government was taking no great hazard in affording him every means within its power to carry out his work, and, if he could do what be believed, and of that there seemed jso xoom for doubt, the, solution of the approaching war, or any other, was in their hands. The president alone sat buried In thought, his brows drawn, into a frown. , "Gentlemen," be said, and there was that in his voice which demanded attention, "I should like to ask Dr. Roberts a few questions. I wish To knpw if this wdrk of his can be carried on so secretly that no other power—not one, nor even the people of this country— can become aware of his discovery; if he can suggest a means for such concealment; if his work can be done so expeditiously, with full government support, that within three months from to-night the American navy can be so equipped as to make it the most powerful in the world; and whether he realizes the importance of such haste."

Nothing but Robers' known ability prevented them from looking upon him as a «rank. They inspected the objects before them in turn, parsing them from hand to hand with blank looks. Only the secretary of war, who in his earlier years had been a metallurgist, shewed any signs of surprise or amazement. He turned excitedly away and Crossed the room to a side light, against which glare' he hSblcT the little plate, staring at it fixedly. The inventor smired, and the others renewed their interest. The secretary hurried baclt, "What on'earth la it, I*r. Roberts?" he asked, and then without waiting for in explanation continued: "I never uaw a nietai that looked or felt like tt. What is ft?" "Gentlemen," said the inventor, recoveting the slab and balancing it in his hands, "that is a new plate that can be made cheaply and quickly. If it does what the laboratory tests show, it will, when applied to cruisers which can now steam 20 knots an hour, make 50 knots an easy gait for them." There was a gasp of astonishment amounting almost to incredulity among those who crowded round, and the scientist, eh Joying the effect of his words, smiled and smoked. A moment's pause ensued while the possibilities of the discovery dawned pn them. Those who knew him least weVe again questioning his sanity, and then, as if all at once they could wait no longer for him -"to explain, they hurst Into a chorus of questions, which he did not answer.

I would almost stake my life and reputation on it. But why, may I ask, do you desire to keep it from the world's knowledge that you have such power?"

I'll tell them what we need and they can tell me how soon they can deliver It where I want it. I'll want machinery and apparatus, supplies and assistants,. Money and men! Money and men!

He folded ^the precious pieces of metal into their coverings, while the others stood silently by, and, aa if abashed by his own outburst, bade them a curt 'Good' night," and walked from the room. The others, with the burden of ratieence upon them, filed after him-one by one, contemplating the strange change which might be wrought by this night's work, and wended their way to their homes. The fog settled down closer and impartially spread Itself _ over the river, the White House and the patrolman on his beat, but until the dawn came stealthily peering over it all the president wrapped in thought sat at his deak and in imagination saw invincible ships of war bound out to certain victory. And all his hope was founded on a war for peace. He started to say more, his big somber eyes glowing with some new thought, and then, as if afraid of his * * »W&*/ *«***»-^il***^wit* * t u a i ^ w n conceptions, .stood expectantly before his lifelong friend who was facing him. "Bill, Bill!" he said, brokenly, "do you see what depends upon you?

Try to realise what you have, and what we can do, if those two pieces of metal will do all you think tb?y will!" His long ungainly arms reached out, and he put his hands upon the smaller maa's shoulders.

J.- CHAPTER XIV. The Birth of a Clty.v Like criminals afraid of the light, and seeking the cover of darkness, a score of the most distinguished enen of the United States, occupying its most responsible positions, and bearing the burden of government, came to the White House, which loomed massive and apparently untenanted. They came singly, obeying the instructions given them, left their conveyances at a distance, and walked unattended to the dark portals, which opened and closed behind them. AH were aware of the porferitdus reason for their visit, and the importance of the utmost secrecy. Qbseryant indeed would have been the foreign spy who could have surmised that they were gathering to discuss a plan involving the defense of the nation, or the acceptance of a challenge to war. There were only two visitors who came together, the inventor and his daughter, and they were the last to enter the room, where those who preceded them were divided into groups round four officers of the navy* who were answering questions, quoting figures and volunteering details whfch were not written. The men at the head of the nation were preparing to plunge headlong into what under less immediate menace would have seemed a sea of folly ready to submerge them and their country. The entrance of Norma was the signal for an abrupt halt in the conversation, and some of those who were not entirely familiar with the part which she played in her father's work looked at her disapprovingly. He, interpreting these glances, Introduced her as his assistant, and concluded by saying: "I can't do anything without her. She knows more about my work than I do myself, and as far as I know she's tne only woman living who can keep her mouth shut." They smiled at his manner and cynicism, while the president tendered her a seat at his side arid waited for the others to resume their chairs. "All of you are familiar now with the possibilities of the invention offered by Dr. Roberts—" "And his daughter Norma," interjected the inventor. The president accepted the alteration and continued without a halt— "and have gone over the reports of the four most expert men in the United Staates, who have passed the day with the inventor and his daughter in their laboratory, are convinced of the merit and practicability of the discovery, and have prepared statements of what supplies would be needed, the time in which they could he obtained, and their approximate cost." There was a look of acquiescence, and the secretary cf the navy, who had been paying no heed whatever to J the chief executive's remarks. ru.st:.-il j the reports in his hand as ho turned j another pase to scan its contents. The i •room becajne still again, and the speaker went on. "Dr. Roberts tells ns that he fines a M ^ i 4 * f t a f t f H h r e e months'to Bombar successfully 'any a**Aop which mlglrt |)jegUrhostilities}** \ i l \ i NofWa looked at her father admir- |ngj|y; but he seemed oblivious to all those round him, and sat absorbed lu thought, his eyes fixed Jn a blank •tare of concentration into space, and the, thumbs of bin clasped hands revolving round eapb other aimlessly. The president reached over to^a mass of papers before him, referred to some of them in quant of data, and then looked yery grave and earnest as he continued in a lower voice: "Extraordinary times demand extraordinary measures. We are without precedent, and are confronting an emergency of such immense import that those of us who were here last night believe it is a time when all rules, official routine and regular methods must give way in behalf of quick accomplishment. We have no time in which to ueek special appropriations; but must take it upon ourselves to levy upon the various budgets which. are now open for the considerable sums of money necesaary to prosecute this work." One or two, who were evidently late arrivals and had not heard the earlier discussions, looked at each other with some hesitation. It was hard to drop routine and dip into the natron's treasury on sueh short consideration. The high dignity of the presiding .officer, however, forbade any interruption, and be went on unchallenged. "The absolute preservation of our secret is recognised by all as a vital necessity, and to obviate all leakages the members of the army and navy board suggest that our work be car-t ried on in one of the most secluded of the Florida keys. On this they purpose to erect a plant adequate to cast and perfect this metal on which we depend, and as rapidly as possible apply it to the vessels of our navy, which will be sent there as quickly as preparations can be made for their reception." Norma, who had not been informed of this part of the project, gave a start of protest, foreseeing that she, too, would have to share in this isolation and become an exile until the experiments were concluded. Her father turned a questioning look toward her, and then reached over and patted her hand in sympathy. The president was steadily summing up the situation. "The navy department will attend to purchasing suppKes, including machinery and crude metals necessary for the first work, while Dr. Roberts will place his orders, for apparatus, and all will be consigned to the eolliev Penobscot, whi«h will transport them to the chosen spot. The gunboat Harper will accompany her, and will be the first boat to be experimented upod and equipped- with the new plates. Rear Admiral Brockton will, be assigned to her command fpr the present.

N. erlete, Esqr., £p0a*fc»V<Waabiagton.~- JDear Sir; After -a stanea or more years of unsuccessful effect dn the mercantile business- in Weston* Washington, in August, 1903, decided to come to Alberta with a gentleman who was shipping two cars live stock to Edmonton. I assisted this man with the stock over one hundred miles out in the Birch Lake Country! East of Edmonton. Indeed, how surprised, how favorably everything compared with ,my; dream of what I wanted to see in a new country. "Had never had any experience In farming, but I was immediately converted into a farmer. And from that moment I have prospered. Selecting a homestead near Birch Lake? I returned for wife and three small children and freighted out from Edmonton in March following year we shoveled a spot clear of snow and pitched our tent. and commenced operations, at that time we had no neighbors. Four years have passed, the locality is well settled, two miles from railway station, with churches and schools, telephone and good road accommodations. "We are enjoying the privileges granted to any rural district in Washington. The Birch Lake Country is no exception, this great transformation is rapidly going on in every district in Western Canada. "I estimate that every quarter section in every direction is capable of producing a comfortable living for a family of ten forever. After paying for two horses and a cow, had juat $10.00 to go on. Did my first ploughing in my life. I was very awkward in my work, but nature was glad and I was abundantly paid for my efforts. Our cattle has increased to about fifty head, which was very profitable on account of the abundance of forage. To farm was compelled to buy about four hundred dollars' worth of farm machinery on lime, and the payments fell due last Mil, and you may wonder how I expected to pay for them when we had such a bad year. T w a s a little bad for Western Canada or for a Missouvian. But is not 35 or 40 bushels oats a pretty good yield per acre in many States? Then the price of grain went out of sight, so when I had sold my crop I found I was able to make my payments nicely, besides we had lots of feed. No one has any business1 raising cattle without growing grain, or vice versa. As to the winters, did not feed my cattle, excepting the calves, a fork of hay until in March. Have found the winters much more pleasant than we did in Western Washsmall transport which will carry such i ington. This is strange and hard to engineers and mechanics as the navy department may select for a work of this importance. CpthmAnkation will be maintained by such means as seem best to Admiral Brockton, and more men r«nd supplies will be dispatched from time to time as required. It ia needless to say that the entire experimental work, the casting of the plates, and the general supervision of everything, will be under the direction of Dr. Roberts." "And his assistant," the Inventor again interjected. (TO BK CONTINUED.) SOME LARGE FRENChTFAMILIEa. Official Statistics Give Figures That Are Rather Surprising. Small families are the rule in France, but there are some striking exceptions. The following data were taken by Consul Chapman Coleman of Roubaix frcm the latest official statistics of the population of France. According to these statistics the total population of France is 38,350,7£8. The female sex exceeds the masculine in numbers, the figures being, respec- ! lively, 19.533.S99 and 13,81*,889. On I the other hand, an excess in the num- | ber of unmarried is shown on the mas- j cullne side, the respective figures be- 9,917,178 and 9,114.356. There are 2,- | 384,897 widows and divorced women, j as against 1,005,884 widowers and dl- j vorced men. j The number of French families is j 9.781.117, of which 1,314,773 are with- i out children; 2,249,337 have but one! child; 2,018.665 have two; 1.246,264 have three; 748,841 have four; 429,799! have Ave; 24S.159 have six; 138,769 ! have seven; 7l.SU have eight, and 33,917 have nine children. These fig-: ures represent, in a rapidly decreasing ; proportion, the number of families ,' having a large number of children. J For al;out two-thirds of the families i cf France the average number of chi! explain, but 'tis true, nevertheless, at 40 degrees below zero we have more comfort than you would at 20 degrees above, so still and dry—with bright, sunny days. My wife says that the only regret she has is that we did not come here ten years ago. as we would now certainly have been in a position to retire from hard work. Most women soon become satisfied as neighbors begin to come round them. Have 98 acres in crop this year, besides two acres potatoes, which have always brought me a fair price. We find a ready market for everything we produce. To thp Poor Man—Here Is a chance to establish yourself. To the Rich Man—Here is a chance to buy land for $10.00 to $15.00 per acre which will produce more crops than a half dozen acres of your $50.00 to $75.00 per acre land. And if not very much mistaken, this year will prove an eye opener to those who are a little sceptical. The trouble with me is that I have so much to say so favorable to Alberta 'tis hard to be brief.

We started about sundown and got there at 9 o'clock witb a pair of old mules, 5 miles in three hours, over roots, through swamps, etc. Saw a wild cat, too. Tbe next day we went out in the woods and the hired man cut down a palmeto tree and got out the cabbage, which we cooked for dinner. I do not like it cooked but a little raw. We went to the bay and of course got some more shells. Started for' the bay witb one mule, an old wagon, with two iner. four women and one boy to ride—I walked part of tbe way. Mr. Briggs out down a palmeto to get #, cabbage to bring home with us to the cottage. He cut tbe tree alone so j that you can see that he s improving in health. Everything ia green here but no nice green grass like ours in the pprk. The trees in front of our cottage are j covered with long moss that almost reaches to the ground. Not many birds here, only turkey buzzards. I It has been a little cool here for a tew days. No tire in the church but twice since we came. Go without capes or wraps in the evening. Have plenty of nice oranges every lay and are using them in cooking especially in making "apple ' grunt. You see from the above that, we are not idle.

Two of the leading horses were cut off by the mass of snow and debris and carried down the canon hundreds of feet below. The camp of the Asenfelder Freight gang was completely wiped out. Forty horses were carried into the canon and burled.

Purporting to show that $40,000,000 of the $122,000,000 naval appropriation is wasted, and that gigantic mistakes and incompetency are responsible, George Kibe Turner has a severe shock to the navy department In an artiole in a current magazine. He says that the cost of the navy this year Is twice the sum which It cost to run the entire federal government just before the civil war. If It keeps on at, the present rate 25 years from now it will cost annually as much as the federal government does now—two-thirds of a billion dollars a year. "If war should break out. tomorrow," he says, "there would be no place in the IJnited States where a fleet of ships could be repaired after a battle." Turner declares that the navy appropriation is prey for politicians ID congress. "A Little Cold is a Dangerous Thing" and often lesds to hasty disease sod death when neglected.

And It's just that bit of blindness that we have to call chance.—London Chronicle Chinese and Europeans. Europe knew next to nothing of China or Its people prior to the conqvj^ tB of the famous Genghis Khan. The commotion rnised by that monster made Europeans somewhat acquainted wKh " F a r Cathay," as China was then called. It was about the year 1300, or possibly n trifle earlier, that the first Chinese made their appearance In Europe.

THE DEVILFISH. He Is Not a Man Eater, but a Gently Reared Monster. Contrary n> popular belief, the devilfish is not a man eater, according to an official publication issued by the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, after un authoritative study of the subject by l>r. Theodore Gill, associate in zoology in the national museum. "The food of the devilfishes," he says, "so far from beliiL? large animals and 0 0 casionally a man or so, tis has been alleged, appears to be chiclly t h e small crabs, shrimps and other crustaceans and young or small fishes. Uu rely dues 01m prey on large fishes." Dr. (Jill says that in a number of re1 spects the young devilfish grows up under nursing and training remarkably like that of a human being. I t is nourished, for instance, from its mother's milk. It is a peculiarity of t h e devilfish, he adds, that, instead of laying many thousands or millions of eggs, it normally has only a single youn^ one at a birth. A baby devilfish Is some-' times as broad as five feet and weighs twenty pounds or more. Dr. Gill adds that devilfishes move about from place to place In a sort of submarine flight, speeding themselves along by flaps of the long winglike tins. Day Dreams. If you have a particular piece of work to do, get It done. Don't wait for the tuoiil to strike you. Don't dream! There are more precious hours v.asu.! In day dreams than any of us would ( a r e to think about if we counted them. The queer thlug about day dreams Is that so few of them ever amount to anything. The dreamer Is only semiconscious when building his nlr castles, so. as a rule, they have no practical foundation. While you are at work, keep your mind on what you are doing, and do not let it wander off to what you would like to be doing. Only by keeping your mind on what you are doing now can you bring it fresh and keen to the things you like doing best, when the time for doing them comes. Thinking too much about even great happiness takes the "edge" off i t The best time for day dreams is after VMI '--VC p ; ; e to bed.—Nevf York Aiut.'i'ieau, The Better Part. A delightful little story is told of Prosper Merimee, the French author. He was once guest at n royal hunt, when hares, pheasants and other game were driven before the emperor and his followers, and the servants picked up the victims of the sport. Among all the members of the hunting party Prosper Merimee alone had no trophy to display. "How does this happen?" asked some one. "Where gime Is so plenty the merit, of a marksman seems to me to lie In hitting nothing," replied Merimee, with grave courtesy, "so I fired between the birds." Waiters on Horteback. In great French houses of days gone by dinner was announced by the blowing of hunting horns, and It is on record that at certain gala feasts the dishes were brought in by servants in full armor mounted upon rnparlsoned horses, a practice we could only look for during the reign of chivalry. Of the attendants at dinner the carver and server took precedence over all tho others. They stood probably on each side of their lord. The server, It may be mentioned, was the officer who placed t h e dishes on the table. Tit For Tat. First Teacher—You told me to remind you to punish Willie Thompson Jhis morning for Impudence. Second Teacher—I'll do It tomorrow. I'm called before the school board today for insubordination.—Llpplncott's. A Secret. Spnrks--I wonder why It 1» a woman lets out everything you tell her? Shark* —My dear hoy, a woman has only two rlews of a secret—either It is not worth keeping or It is too good to keep. —London Opinion.

Over 55,000 sailors were thug treated during the last fiscal year. This care of sailors serve* two useful purposes besides its direct benefit to the sailor, remarks the National Magazine- for January. S e a m e n taken ill or injured while e n route to, or at a port, would necessarily have to be left by the vessel for treatment at the port which in the majority^ of case* would not be the s a i l o r s home. The sick would therefore suffer unmerited neglect, or become a,_l)Urden upon the charity >of a comnMihjiy to w h i c £ they did not belong. Further, if the Illness be'of a contagious nature, they become a menace. Deep-water sailors, because of the nature of their life, are prone not to i o r m family tie*, and when these m e n contract tube'rc.ulosis, as many do, they both suffer thems e l v e s beeautee o f t h e lack of a home in many cases, and in addition endanger the community In which they 'live. For these men the service maintains a large sanitarium at Fort Stanton, New Mexico. This sanitarium is on a reservation of 38 square miles, located on a plateau in central New Mexico at an altitude of 6,150 feet. Here there are 200 or more patients continually under treatment.

Several of the best known constitutional lawyers in the state are now. going into the question and the basis of action will probably be a suit now pending in the circuit court in Calhoun county. In this action, the liquor men began mandamus proceedings Saturday to compel the board of supervisors to reconvene and listen to a petition of the liquor men to throw out the petition asking for the submission of the liquor question. The liquor men charge that fraud was used by the anti-saloon people in their petitions.

"Vanishing F!e«ta," u story of "what might have happened," opens in Washington With the United States and Japan < on the verge of war. Guy Hilller, s«cretary of the British embassy, and MI*a Norma Roberta, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are Introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines. Guy Hilller atartu for England. Norma Roberts with military -officers also leaves Washington on mysterious expedition for: the Florida ooast. Hawaii Is captured by the Japs. All porbs are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese fleet and whole world ' becomes convinced that United States has some powerful war agency. England decides to send a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection HRainst what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hilller is also sent to Canada to attempt to force liis way through American lines with a message. British fleet departs amid misgivings of English. Fleet mysteriously disappears. HI liter makes a failure of effort to deliver meBaaga to the president. War between Great Britain and Germany Is threatened. The kaiser disappears. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bevins of the United States, and upon promising to present the missing British admiral, the monarch agrees to accompany Bevins on tour, which the latter says will uncover the agent of war and end all conflicts. The Dreadnaught. biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an impassable point in the Thames, much to the mystery of the kingdom. The story goes back to a time many months before the war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, telling of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and Is to be applied to vessels to increase speed to over 50 miles iin hour. C H A P T E R XIV.—Continued. The secretary of the navy, obeying a suggestion from the chair, read off a • long list of figures, explaining them as he went, and concluding with an unqualified indorsement of the plan. So infectious was his blunt enthusiasm and confidence, that those who at first had hesitated at the irregularity of the procedure found themselves won over, and bound with complete unanimity into a coterie which was to assume responsibility for a war. And thus was the issue accepted. The early hours of the morning were upon them as they dispersed, but Norma, resting back in the corner of the cab which conveyed her homeward, did not share the elation of her father, who was already building workshops, conducting new experiments and equipping a navy. Yesterday she had looked forward to confiding the story of their great success to Guy Hilller; for in the preceding month, when she and her father had been trembling on the very edge of a great discovery in unknown fields, she had given no intimation of their work or their prospects, planning this surprise, and now, by the rigid embargo of r> lence thrust upon her, her dream was dissipated. To her the production of the radioactive metal had meant p goal; bHt now that it was reached and she was anxious to satisfy a hear£ hunger, she had been- given another task, and was to.undergo m,Qre silence and repression and another siege of work 1¾ a world of figures* of test tubes and retorts, a slave to the lamp of science and her father's success. Not even the knowledge that she was sacrificing nertelf.orr the altar of dtity to country, whose" protection and welfare were burdens <hat she must share, palliated the bitterness of holding love aloof. And in this light the triumphs of invention seemed hollow and the night filled with dreariness. Thetfc were no more regular meetings of those who conspired f o r the. national food; but it was a Mason of terrific activity, and February was yet 3'oung wh'en there sailed away from New Yark harbor* one night a gtmboat, a collier and a small transport, whose destinations were unknown, and which slipped, their moorings in silence and passed down the bay with scarcely a sound to' ann'dundfc tb.efr departure. On baard the gunboat were men accustomed to unquestioning obedience, and on the transport was a little army of Rkilled mechanics and engineers who had been called from their usual occupation by imperative orders and requested to tell none hut their families that they might be absent for several months. There was not a man aboard any of the craft who had not taken a pledge of absolute secrecy. The collier, blade and maseive, was loaded almost beyond her carrying capacity, a i d sven on her, decks ware piled lumber and great sheet* of cor- ' rugated iron, bearing evidence of fttHf held* below. And all this cargo had theliifltprjt rtraib^d.jrojk^hJDjd i $ 8traag»'»ltoetyof. toaslfcery. rtcponjt of Mg&eMpoMUHill d#mA4i;iin& u f i hawed ..of apparatus* were, »tf**d away wftbc*^ia*of chefinltt&ntr fhs- mine* o T t ^ 40HtbV the 4 * « ? « i r W» south hid contrfbutetT crude metals or partially smelted ores to the assortment. Driven by expert minds and masters of executive Work, an army of men in different walks oTlileiutd given their ingenuity and effort toward something of which they knew not, aad then the result of their labors had poured out upon a wharf, been swallowed up by th# cavernous holds of a collier, and were now: beta* carried out into the broad reaches of - the Atlantic, with destination unknown. A general order had been issued and made-public, that, Inasmuch as the poaching of Cuban fishermen on American grounds round lower Florida and the keys demanded attention, the gunboat Penobscot had been detailed to patrol those waters. In the United States this attracted no attention; but the swarthy fishermen of the tropics took warning and no longer steered their smacks to the forbidden waters, shrugging their shoulders in impotent wrath. Rumor had it that the transport was carrying mechanics and laborers to the, Philippines, Where a new drydock was to be constructed, and the cdrfer was generally supposed by pirate ships of old bent on plunder sad raulae The days of the voyage were js^qch alike; filled with 'work. Dowillh the cabins the engineers and inacninhjts drew hasty plans of buildings, then marked spots where nmchlnes were, to have floor space, drew, diagram/ Jtor transmission of power, aad consulted charts showltfjf' 'the^daptfcs' of water round their prUipec^ve shipyard. They had not even time to watch the devious course in and out among the Islands which marked their entry-to the scene of toll. Wneri the pulsation*- of the screw ^topped and the ship ceased her vibratioas,i they were still at their several tasks, and were disturbed when the anchor chains went rumbling through their feawaer pipes. Like an army of ants,, drilled and acclimated, they swarmed out upon the land, the sappers clearing the way, the carpenters donning their aprons and grasping their tools while piles of lumber; kegs of bolts and Balls, and mountains of iron sheathing accumulated upon the beach. And then, as the ringing of a multitude of hammers and the steady biting song of the saws filled the' air with 'sounds of industry, great cases of machinery swung up from the holds, floated dizzily to the bulwarks, and went slowly down to the lighters. A city of teats sprang up as by necromancy, with gutters to carry off the rains, and sewers to prevent disease. Camp Burgeons, accustomed to sanitation superintended these outposts, paying as much attention to the spreading of a mos- Great Cases of Machinery Swung Up from the Hblds. men of tho waterfront to be laden with materials for this work. And so/despite the momentous.significance of the sailing" of these three ships, the world remained in ignorance, paid little heed, or forgot. Those voyagers who were in the secret looked forward With eagerness to the task before them, realizing to the full that on them depended much. And of these was Norma, who leaned over the stern rail of the Penobscot as it dropped down the harbor, watched trie llgnts of the city grow dim in the distance, saw the great* silent statue of liberty rear itself against the sky, and felt the first free swell lift and sway the deck beneath her feet. Her departure had not been pleasant. There on the land behind was the man whom she seemed doomed forever to hold at arm's length. She had parted from him with the announcement that her father was compelled to go south for a time, and had insisted on her accompanying him. For how long? Ah, that could be but conjecture; perhaps for two or three months. Was he ill? No. not exactly; but he was going away and needed her. Yea, she would write occasionally from Miami, Fla.; but not often, bncause her charge would demand her time. And so, answering and evading, filled wit>h yearning, and yet debarred from giving confidence, she had bidden him good-by and come to this: Sailing away in the night with all the furtlveneaa and mystery which enshrouded quito net to keep away the dread stygomia, as to tautening the canvas roofs and clearing the grounds. All available means of a resource fill nation had been gathered together as an expert driver seizes the reins of a four-in-hand and guides his horses along a known road to a given destination, and all with the regularity which would distinguish the work had It been the most unimportant- action of every day industry. Norma, having no part in this task of construction,.wandered idly up and down the decks or round the clearing throughout the day; ami as she watched she saw the birth of a minia fure city, a a r the heaps at -material on the beach dissipated, saw tall steel smoke stacks poke thefr summits upward supported by spider-like cables, saw shining, corrugated roofs spread themselves protectingly over floors whereon machinery was already being placed, and wondered at the accomplishment. The sun1 went down, losing itself among the keys and waters of the farther west, before a bugle gave a qutrk imperative summons and tho toilers dropped their tools for the evening meal. Many of the officer.-. some nf them «ri*lmy and stained with work, their linen no longer immaculate, and their hair unkempt, came aboard the gunboat, for dinner. They ate hurriedly like men in the field, and one by one. with scant apology to their frdlow diners, disappeared. Norma was almost the last to leave the cabin and appear on deck, which to ber aw> along Its deserted Jajoffth t a w etuue a whistle* tram t|#}*f>rj. ! j . * - '• Darkless iasVdMQenffd abnfetly. and piled its blackness *uver the* is-*' l a g ' s And tke seasj 0 the tfofjc* The palnj gnsfafan* ^ i b - ^ ^ j t J o the wesjt ^er^^llhotteite<f^gain^Ht*t|fe last faint light of day, and from me swamps i of the Island came the cries tf-'jalgnt fowl, the whir and chirruping noise of : insect life, 'and the iriotootoncrBs croaking of frogs. Swinging here and there In erratic circles, like faijjes of the J*mgle carrying lighted lanterns, went the fireflies on aimless journeyings, not a few but many thousand* of them, as if in a wild dance of curiosity, looking through the night to learn what manner of things these were that had come upon them so suddenly, ripped away their forests and built strange mansions in their solitudes. It was not this, however, that chained brer attention. High up over this mushroom city where all had been silent and darkening when she went below, now gleamed myriad lights strung as by a genii of the lamp while others rested from their toll. White, flaring streaks of brilliance thrust spearlike rays into the gloom, illuminating below tbem the creation of a day. From the distance came the steady bum of steam driven dynamos, telling with monotonous insistence that there would be JBO cessation until the last spike was driven, the last machine s>t and the last belting hung. Into this spot of the night began to come black figures answ~erlng the call of the siren. On a sudden, as if by preconcerted signal, the echoes again^ awoke to the clang of hammers pn steel and the hum of voices in command. Like weird pygmies doomed to twist their thews in never-ending effort, she saw them resume their uncompleted task, exerting themselves unceasingly for its accomplishment. A launch which had come alongside on some errand was sputtering spasmodically . at the foot of the ladder below as if impatient to be off. She boarded it; and in a Tew minutes a smart young naval officer stepped into the stern; gave a curt order, and they raced away toward the shore. "Ah; good evening, Miss Roberts," he saM, suddenly spying her. "Looking for your father, who went ashore awhile ago, I presume? I'm going right in his direction, and will be glad to guide you." He seemed too busy for further conversation, and almost before the boat had come to a stop sprang to the shingle and offered his hand. Through steadily working groups of men, past unfinished buildings, arid over lighted floors where machinists wrought with levers and wrenches, they went to the,far side pf the camp. ; Here were officers with coats cast off and sleeves rolled up, and laborers in overalls intent on setting a huge blast furnace; and in the very heart of this activity, besmirched with dirt, his hat discarded and his shirt j thrown open, she feund her rath* r. Not even he with all his weight of years Could resist this terrific call of energy. She stood and watched for a few minutes while he. the master spirit of the group, directed the work. It'seemed to have passed its critical! point, and after some final instructions to the engineer in charge he straightened up and looked round. "Hello, here's the assistant," he said, walking toward her and looking fondly into her eyes. She besought him to , rest, and her appeals were seconded . by those of the officers who feared for the physical strength of this man ; on whom so much depended, and who would have guarded him as a precious jewel of untold worth. He protested at'first, and then, like one waking from , a 'dream and suddenly conscious of a ^reat. weariness, made no objection when the rear admiral, who now looked like a workman, put his hat ) upon his head and tendered him his : coat. He permitted them to throw it over his shoulders, and finally, with a look of infinite satisfaction at the growing structure before him, took his daughter's arm and tramped away. | He was an old man again, yielding [ the tribute of age to the toil of youth. J They boarded the boat and sought their cabins; but. even as they retired there c a m O o t h c m through the .open portholes* like a lullaby, the sounds , of unremitting labor intermingled with i ihe lap of waves on the coral beach. • The first creative step toward a nartional victory and supremacy had been taken in a day. even while the war cloud across western seas •sras gath- j oring strength for its overcast; and, waiting, wondering, and expectant, the world WRS unaware.

During my refreshment a handsome vehicle stop ped at the house, and a gentleman it contained asked me the road to Interlukeu. Seeing me regallug, myself, he alighted, joined me on the trelllsed ' pore li and asked for a glass of wine. The old lady brought him one, with more biscuits, and we sipped, munched and chatted. The gentleman proved to be a fellow countryman of mine a n d asked me to proceed in his carriage, an invitation I accepted. At leaving he was surprised a t not being permitted to pay. the reckoning. He Insisted, but the good lady w a s resolute. Before getting into his carriage, he took a piece of red chalk from his pocket and made certain marks on a window shut ter. • "Those a r e tramp marks you have made, are they not?" 1 said, surprised. "Light up," w a s his reply, handing me a cigar, "and a s we roll along I'H tell you a story.

The traveler scanned the horizon for help and fortunately far to the eastward saw a white speck which he took for a prairie 'schooner.' I t w a s from twelve to fifteen miles distant, and he expected that fully three t o u r s would be required for It to come up. "But the white speck grew much more rapidly than could be accounted for by a schooner. As it came nearer those watching it were filled with astonishment. It was a schooner indeed, a schooner on wheels. The body w a s boat sb"aped, a n d masts extended upright from t h e front and rear axles, each mast supporting a sail. A man sat in rear of the front axle holding a tiller. As he drew near the party he applied a break, lowered his sails and said: " ' C a n I assist you?* "Considering t h e roughness of t h e man's dress and his unkempt appearance, t h e party were surprised a t his respectable bearing. " 'My dear sir,' said the gentleman, •the first favor I would ask of you Is an explanation of this singular appearance of n wheeled boat on this oKl ocean bed. Is It the ghost of some prehistoric vessel wrecked ages apo many fathoms above us?' " 'No, sir. When an ocean surgea here there were no boats.' " 'Well, who are you and w h a t are you doing In this strange craft?' " T ' i a tramp, a born tramp, and must always be moving just a s n born soldier must always be campaigning My father sent me to school, to college? and gave me a profession. I wanted to travel, and he sent me abroad. When he wished me to stop traveling and go to work I became a tramp. Finally I got tired of making my legs go or riding under cars and wished for some method of propulsion wherein the cost was only In the vehicle. I did a little work for a wagon maker and while at his shop constructed this ship of the desert. W h a t can I do for you?" "There was nothing for the fellow to do b u t take t h e party aboard, wThich he did. The gentleman demurred at the tramp going out of his way to favor a wrecked party, but t h e land sailor said every way was his way. The gentleman and his family got aboard, the two older ones on a back seat, the girl forward with the tramp driver. As they sailed along before a ten knot breeze, meeting people by the way who gazed a t them in astonishment, the old lady looked sour, the old gentleman winced, wbllo the youn£ girl giggled, evidently enjoying the trip immensely. In this fashion they rode all t h e way to Denver, and when they reached the city were followed to a hotel where the travelers proposed to stop by a Hhoutlng mob. "What it was about this degenerate son of a worthy sire to attract a youn^ girl nobody could ever find out, but the traveler's daughter had to fall in love with the sailor. Seeing her heart w a s set on having him, her father consented on condition that he would stop tramping, or, rather, sailing over the face of the earth, and accept a position in his office in St. Louis. T h e fellow loved the girl so well that he made the sacrifice, a n d they were married. "The tramp stood office work as well as he could for six months. It nearly let him crazy. During the time of his Imprisonment in a counting room he disappeared for a month, ostsnaibly on business, but really to tramp.

When the nineteenth century was a* yet only half grown, senators applied customarily for their toddles a t the so called Hole In the Wall, a small clrcu lar room just off t h e postorhce of the upper house. T h e latter body then occupied what la now t h e chamber of the supreme court, and t h e postofflce was across the main corridor of t h e building on the same floor. When a wearer of t h e toga found himself in need of a "snifter" he had only to cross over to t h e mails department and pass through it to t h e little circular room aforesaid, which was about the size of a pantry. The Hole in the Wall was the first senate restaurant, and t h e bill of fare for edibles w a s short, though to t h e point. There was ham, guaranteed to have been smoked for six months, a veritable sublimation of the pork product; there were corned beef and bread a n d cheese, b u t very little else. They served, however, a s an accompaniment for the fluids, a n d when the Ilole was crowded, a s w a s often the case, senators ate their sandwiches outside, in the postoffice.— Washington Post.

ASKYOURDEALER l U C L A R G E C A N BETTER THAN SOAP The Aurora Borealis. The aurora borealis, or northern light, Is something that we have all heard about, b u t very few, perhaps, can give any explanation of It. No one definitely knows what causes it, but the scientists a r e pretty well agreed t h a t it Is due to electricity. They believe t h a t the light is made by the recomposltion of t h e positive a n d negative electricity always in the upper and lower strata of air, respectively. M, Lenstrom made an interesting experiment In Finland In 1882, his object being to determine t h e nature of t h e aurora. He had the peak of a mountain surrounded by a copper wire, pointed a t intervals with tin nibs. When he had charged the wire with electricity a yellow light appeared ou t h e tin tips, and a n ex amination of t h e light by the spectroscope revealed t h e greenish yellow ray that Is R marked feature of the aurora. This evidence among scientists is almost convincing, for It Is by means of t h e spectroscope that we discover the constituent parts of the sun und the stars, Exchange. T h o u Dlest on Point of Fox." Pox blades were celebrated all through t h e sixteenth and seventeenth centuries for their excellent temper, and mention of them Is frequent in English drama. This is their history: There w a s a certain Julian del Ret, believed to be a Morisco, who set u p a forge at Toledo In the early part of the sixteenth century and became famous for the excellence of his sword blades, which were regarded as the best of Toledo. That city had for many ages previous been renowned for swordmaklug, it being supposed that the Moors introduced the art, ns they did so many good things, from the enst. Julian del Rei's mark was a little dog, which came to be taken for a fox, and so the "fox blade" or simply "fox" for any good sword. See "Henry V.," act 4, scene 4, "Thou diest on point of fox." The brand came to be imitated in other places, and there are Sollngen blades of comparatively modern manu facture which still bear the little dog of Julian del Rei.—London Notes and Queries. A Royal Snake Slaughterer. The "secretary bird" Is one of t h e most precious birds In South Africa. It Is royal game, and any person destroying one is liable to a tine of £50. Majestic looking birds, they stand about three feet high and generally go In pairs. They are of drab color, with black, feathery legs, and are valued for their propensity for killing snakes. Where the secretary bird is seen there are sure to be many reptiles about. The bird beats down its adversary first with one wing and then with t h e other, at the same time trampling on It with Its feet until the snake is sufficiently siunned in catch if by the head with its claws. Then the bird rises far up in the air and drops Its victim to the ground, to be killed. By this means thousands of venomous reptiles are destroyed. London Scraps.

The law, which follows the old statute to a considerable extent, contains many features which are absolutely new: First, The revoking of a license of any saloon keeper who shall have been three times convicted of crlm inai infraction of the laws; Second, No licenses shall be granted to any saloonkeeper. who is not a citizen of the United States; Third, The same law that applies to saloonkeepers in regard to obtaining licenses shall be strictly enforced concerning, so-called social clufcs; Fourth, Druggists will be obliged to take out a license the same as a saloonkeeper it taeir. ski*4a&sav i n any way conflicts with the spirit of ,t,he law; Fifth, Every personal bondsmfcn must qualify in the sum of three thousand dollars with every additional bond signed by the same person. The provision for allowing saloonkeepers to take out the bonds from a bonding company organized under the laws of the state is retained. The law fixes the hour of dosing, throughout the state at 9 p. m., and orders closing on every Sunday and legal holiday and election day. These provisions, however, Are'sruHJect to heing voted upon by the peeple, and the principle of home rule predominates throughout the bill. •.

The ways and means committee of the house has framed up its program relative to the budget for this session for the expenses of state government. As soon as the estimates of the various state institutions and state departments have been prepared and furnished to the committee a schedule will be prepared. At the head of the sheet will be placed the amount necessary to take care of the deficit existing in the Btate treasury, which will amount to more than a million dollars at the end of this year. Below that will be placed the amouuts asked by the various departments of state and the institutions, the total will be added and then the committee will begin pruning to reduce the amount to a reasonable tax levy. Gray Wants Capitol Enlarged. Another effort Is being made to s e cure addition to the state capitol. Representative Gray, of Lansing, Introduced a bill providing for an appropriation of $400,000 for that purpose. The bill Is similar to the one introduced two yeara ago except that the pay of members of the commission, who will have the construction in charge, is reduced from $7 to $5 a day, and provides for paying the secretary *3 a dav, and superintendent of construction $4 a day for time actually devoted to the building under the contract. The bill went to the committee on1 public'buildings,'where ft will probably remain. The Junkets. The joir \ committee of the two houses appointed to investigate the water power properties of the state, developed, and undeveloped and the methods various persons and companies have used and are using to gobble up these properties, left for the upper peninsula, Saturday nigttt, the legislature having adjourned to February 9. They will spend al! the week there visiting the Son, Eseannba, Menominee and pet'laps one or two other places. John H. Clraddock, one of the experts of the federal department of commerce and labor, has been detailed to accompany the committee. An official stumgrapher will also go along. Them will be "throe junket parties, The fisheries committees of both houses left Detroit Saturday morning on its tour of the state in the private ear of the fi?h committee, and the regular institutional junket, left Grand Rapids Monday morning. They will all go by different routes, but somewhere in the upper peninsula they will cross trails and will come back together. SENATE DOINGS.

Broughtbuf Canadian G<?X" eromeut Agency, 135 Adams Street, Chicago; We had .audacity enough te tackle the proposition of buying foui sections of land in, Southern Alberta, thirty miles east of Clairsholm and heading up on the Little Bow, and our two boys each got a homestead adjoining. \Ve fenced three sections and the two homesteads, .and built a house, barn, corrals and granary, and have since enlarged some of these buildings. We have broken 200 acres of land, which has been sowed to oats and wheat. During the severe winter of two years ago the winter wheat killed out somewhat, and our crop yielded only ten bushels to the acre, but the spring wheat went 24 bushels to the acre. In this country we must be prepared for storms and cold, at times 20 to 30 below zero, yet on the whole the winters are mild; and while there are exceptional crops, it is fair to say that the average farmer can depend on having a yield In average years of from 20 to 25 bushels to the acre for spring wheat; and winter wheat in our immediate neighborhood yields from 25 to 30 bushels, to the acre on the average. We have now quite a bunch of horses, over 50 in all, about 350 sheep, after having sold 140 ,fpr mutton this fall. We have 20 head of pure bred registered Shropshire, which are worth $20 each. The average price received for mutton sheep wa&. $5.00 and a little over. Pork brings 5 and 6 cents a pound. We have about 30 head of cattle on our ranch now, and last winter they picked their entire living from our pasture, running Lo t,he-stra>v stacks for shelter at.night. "The increase of land values has • been extraordinary. Our land four years ago eo*t UK a little less than $6.00 an acre.

Sprains Sloan's Liniment is the best remedy for sprains and bruises. It quiets the pain at once, and can be applied to the tenderest part without hurting because it doesn't need to be rubbed — all you have to do is to lay it on lightly.

Mr. Gardner is to be congratulated on his success in doing hie work and the village on having so complete and tine a system.

However in talking with jtlr. Gardner, we think he is studying on a plau to iinpove the system if possible and insure constant service to all at any time and over corfle breakrges—or at least tide over them. No one thought one year ago that we should have Electric lights in Pinckney, but we have and can be proud of them. The Weather. Since our last issue we have had another variety of weather.

From the shore came a dull, moan- /ng sound, now rising, now falling, but incessant, as if some gigantic animal, Btricken and suffering, was shrieking the anguish of its. death throes to the solitudes of the keys and the waste of waters round them. The frightened birds took flight to the north to escape the weird monotone, and the timid animals of th« forest cowered in fear ' but the* men [of the Island looked at one another exultantly, with mutual congratulations on the rapidity of their work. The blast furnace which was to cast the plates was being blown in. Days and nights of unremitting toil had followed that first landing; machine shops had been completely Installed, power plants perfected, and buildings for the men erected; additional supplies had been received; and another gunboat, the Columbia, augmented the. patrol which pasaed. ceaselessly round the key*, guarding their secret and warning inqutsltve fishermen to avoid the waters; corps of expert smelting men from - the mines of the west had joined the colony—anfl all ..for this, the casting of the first plate, which was to take placenthia day, ., \ In the assay rooms there had been the constant .testing of. crude.metals, and atfporttontng them and discarding those which were inferior. Trajned hands were those that forked over the bucking boards* and ^manipulated^ the delicate scales Which..would register the tiniest mark of a lead pencil with a.8* grgjit frccurfccy; as they •>would a pound weight Everywhere about the plant wer# men who wroiight with pre-' «iekm •s)o^Jnt#raet, -bound together in the great enterprise until differences In a^tfon-were-forgotten ahti all were ; *aa a^fftirj* praying for success.

Engineers and officers from all parts of the plant, warned that this crucial teat was at hand, gathered round the door of the innermost room, until Invited in by the inventor, and then slowly entered and found standing prates At a safe distance from the inv trtcat* -mass, whose polished knobs, twisted barf «*d gleaming t*tbe* to them a tangled rtftU* •here .round the apparatus, ligfftly trying m ad/ustment oV closely inayedtoleVao* (lr*yn*,into«a *cowI jof.con-; n ^ e l f ^ f j h a l ( ^ o c t j p n e A So afefuf w i s he that ire even hrtpected^ the duplicate apparatus which stood; as a reserve at the other **nd of a casting mold-; but "which.it was not his intention to -• HUB except in case of emergency. Satisfied that all was in readiaetp, b^e-beckoned to two aasjsaants, who trundled lti the first-com* poaite plate and deposited it in its bed. - He jnade t h e connection with the electrodes in a few minutes' deft work, and theo^traightened up. and looked about the room, where all was still and expectant. The wowSeYing engineers saw him wave' his daughter back a short distance as though fearing for her safety, watched him-take a final look over his appliance, and then throw a switch, arjljiant streak* of purple, of unknown reds and glaring whites, raced each other in quick succession through the tubes, little indicators here and there sparked out malevolently, and the machine seemed to leap, strain and throb with a life of Us ovm, uncanny and mysterious because of its silence. The group of men peered curiously at the plate, saw4 it glow a dull red; pass the cherry stage to a dull pigeon blue, and then suddenly burst into a gleaming mass of iridescent white., "Fusion!" one. of the engineers whispered t o * men beside him. "He has fused that plate in lees time than it could be done by any means I ever helrd" oT. Tha t is the way he metamorphose* hh? metal." The rays died out, the apparatus stopped its quivering, and the inventor with hands clasped behind him stood Intently watching the now cooling metal. Within the laboratory all was, silence. From the adjoining buildings came the regular sound of hammers,' and from somewhere off toward the cabins a man's voice was raised in a song of soldiery. The sheet of metal lost its color and became dark. "Old BUI" Roberts pressed a button above his head, and cooling sprays began dissipating themselves over the surface, sending up brief splutterings and clouds of rapidly diminishing steam. "It's cool enough now to handle," he said In an oddly constrained tone of voice, turning to the engineers, "and if some of you will help me carry it to the testing tank you may see me prove the first plate on which hangs the fate of our country." In an awed hush of expectancy they all volunteered; but only three men were needed to hold it while it was attached to-the great arms which were to revolve it in the water and demonstrate its resistance. The inventor threw a switch, and the sheet began to move. Before him was a dial, and beneath it a scale of friction pulls showing the resistance offered by normal metal. He fastened his eyes on the indicator with a look of strained watchfulness. Slowly the needle point swung round as the arms gained the maximum, of speed, and theii It came to a standstill, while a look of doubt and perplexity crept over the scientist's face. "Norm," he called, huskily— "Norm! Was everything all right? Is'everything working true?" She took a step behind him, and with a look no less Worried than hla own stared at the dials indicating the speed, of revolution and the scale of resistance. "Yes, father!" she replied, gently, "everything is all, right." Shej put her arm over hie shoulder as if to *hield him. "But something must have gone wrong somewhere else*. Come away How arid let us think fit bvW.M ' : • " «' She turned to the wafting~ officers behind and r.looked them' calmly in their faces, while the inventor, dazed and uncomprehending, ran his fingers through his shock of white hair and gazed at the telltale dials as if hypnotized by two staring eyes. . "Gentlemen." she said, "the flrat experiment is a failure!" * • Those "among thera who had been slightly skeptical Bintted art; o w an* ojher, while those whose belief had pheea^mofe ftrln toofced' sympathetically at this slip of a girl, who faced them ,aU tft^teady defiance, her trust In her fatfcfr, herself and their invention un- -shaken and unfaltering. "You, Mr. Jenkins." she said, addresslnur one of the engineers, "are 'yfcurself a scientist a"nd'ran experitnentalist. You of all present know how easy it is foT a tiny mistake to , rob delicate work of definite result." There was a note of appeal in her voice.that reached them.all. As if with one accord they rushed forward, grasping her hand and surrounding her father, giving them words of encouragement. It was the gruff voice of the old admiral which aroused them to renewed ection. "Pshaw, Bill! That's nothing." he growled. "Here! We've got more plates cast.

' She looked at them for a Aoment, regained her mental- control, and answered: "yes, I'm,all right now; but don't mind me. What of the plate?" They smiled at one another as it dawned upon them that the plate had been forgotten. It was manifestly unfair that she of all others should pot "Gentlemen/* She 8aid, "the First Experiment is a Failure." { i t go! ' Jenkins a*£ two others rushed VI **• J O . » r f • • ( : t & ».

The plate on which they were building their hopes had disappeared! Where the insulated tank which held It had reared Its squatty length was now a ragged hole in the floor, bordered by the slivered ends of twisted and shattered wood, and beneath this was a yawning hole several >feet deep, broken electric wires, and the great slab of metal. Norma, as if the excitement of the discovery had acted as a tonic, released herself from the supporting arms, walked to' the shining brass structure, and leaned against It. Brockton pulled off his cap and scratched his heed in a puzzled way, and Jenkins removed the glasses from his nose and began nervously polishing therd. The other engineers gaped at e*ch other, at the inventor and then bacx to the hole wherein to all appearance'*- was burled the thing on wnich they had built all their hope. "Old QUI" Roberts stood by its edges, looking down and examining the broken wires, a picture of perplexity or des ©eJr. He came back and crowded through their midst, examining a connection and tracing ont one of the strands, and then stood in listless attitude, his brows drawn into a frown, and his arms* hanging loose "and pendulous ' from his shoulder*. The time stretched into minutes, and Jenkins and Norma began a discussion, to which the others listened, striving to understand the phraseology of electrical science, of which many of them had little more than the layman's knowledge. Suddenly a sharp cry came from the inventor. They looked to the other aide of the room, whither he had retreated, and beheld him Jumping up and down like 4. a. madman.. His flats wete etetched and throat into the sir, where they a M1 opened clawlike and waved a tremolo of excitement. "I've got it!" he •creamed. "I've solved it!"

The admiral suddenly dropped his bulk to a stool. "Good God!" he gasped, "ar^ you mad?" Nooua, like one from whose eyes a hoodwink has been suddenly removed, and appearing almost to have read her fathers rut ad. put her hand out to his shoulder and looked at him searchi&gly. A slow grin of great exultation swept over the lean old face Into Which she peered, drove the wrinkles into the corners of the. eyes, and a mass of radiating furrows round the mouth. •" .-.,^ ,_, .._, "Ydu've gueesed It," he said, and then turned AO'ttre admiral. "Brockton, you don't know what that hole meant; but In ah hour from now I'm geing to ' flhtfir yoti. r' That is, Norma', ttiy assistant, and I will." Then In a sudden frenzy for.work he asked them all to leave until he sent for them, and they, wondering and speculating on his next endeavor, obeyed. Only the workmen, who bad descended Into the cavity and were preparing to hoist the plate and mold, and the admiral, by special Invitation, remained. The. cianc^pf hammers resounded hQHowly through, the room as the timbers beneath the Itoor were shored up by the carpenters:- then came the setting of another and larger tank than the one which had been so unexpectedly driven into the earth. The smaller plates which had been intended only for experimental purposes were ' exhausted, and therefore " they had nothing on which to operate.save two immense castings weighing many tons. Wide sliding doors rolled back, and workmen from the foundry, with straining muscles and clinging toes, slowly pushed in low-wheeled cars on which rested the huge pieces of metal. A steel crane projected Its ungainly arm, reached slowly down, and In a Titanic grasp picked up one piece, moved it into position over trje new beg, a^nd deposited it in a great basin whose material indicated that, it would be able to withstand any heat. 'The admiral in boyish exuberance wodld have thrown wide the door; but the inventor, remembering the other contretemps, forbade. The latter busied himself for a few minutes in his storehouse, and returned with a sheet of peculiar insulation which was of his own invention, almost indestructible by heat, and a resistant to any form of radioactivity, which he placed with great care on top of the huge, plate. The second plate was lowered squarely on top of this, clamped for additional security, .and. the workmen dismissed. The connections were made in identically the same way as in the previous test, except that one electrical apparatus was attached to the upper plate above the insulation and the other to the one beneath. Brockton, seeing that the currents were about to be applied, backed off Into the corner, until stopped by the farthermost partition. (TO BE CONTINUED.) HOW TftAPPERS LO«C.

SWARTHOUT, Village ClHrk Better Not Get Dyspepsia If you can help i t Kodol prevents Dyspepsia, by effectually helping Nature to Relieve Indigestion. But don't trifle with Indigestion. A great many people who have trifled with indigestion, have been eorry for it—when nervous or chronic dyspepsia resulted, and they have not been able to cure it. Use Kodol and prevent having Dyspepsia. Everyone is subject to indigestion. Stomach derangement follows stomach nbtis<.>, juiU as naturally and just av, surely as a sound and healthy stomach results upon the taking of Kodol. When you experience sourness of stomach, belching qf gas and nauseating lluid, bloated sensation, gnawirg pain in tbo pit of the f-tomaeh, heart, burn (s(vcalled), tiiarrhoca, headaches, dullness or chronic tired feeling—you need Kodol. And then tho quicker you take Kodol—the better. Eat what you want, let Kodol digest it. Ordinary pepsin "dyspepsia tablets," physic;;, etc., are not likely to bo of much boneht to you,*in digestive ailmoni::. Pepfiiu is only a partial digester—and physics are not digesters at all. Kodol is a perfect, digester. If you could see Kodol digesting every particle of food, of ail kinds, in the glass test-tubes in our laboratories, you would know this just as well as we do. Nature and Kodol will always cure a sick stomach—but in order to be cured, the stomach must rest. That is what Kodol does—rests the stomach, while the stomach gets well. Just as simple as A, 13, C.

Fi 6 0 YEARS' EXPERIENCE The members of the State Sup- ©rrl-iors Association, who met at l i n k i n g last week, among other things took up the matter of a a toe and went on record as favoring a law requiring automobile owners to pay to the state a license fee of *10, the fuiid collected to be used to aid in the construction of good roads, the supervisors being of the opinion that the machines do more damage than any other vehical using the roads. If.they get the bill passed it is to be hoped that they will give the anto driver at least scrme rights and protection on those roads. They do have some ^rights today but if some were to ride a (evr miles with a reasonable driver of a car they would find there are many times when they are hindered and bothtred by other rigs and have no chance whatever. For instance:—We have ridden with others and found the same true in driving our own car, that when overtaking a rig the driver of that rig would hold the center, of the road for sometimes two miles, compelling the driver of the auto to slow down and even stop to keep from running into the head rig. Agaiu. We have seen the driver signaled to stop for a coming rig and when hehas done so and waited for the other to drive 40 rods, the horse paid no attention to the auto—did not even know it was there. The driver is obliged to carry his lights at night, front and rear, while the driver of the horse has | no such lights and the autoist can not see him until too late. The driver of the horse can see and hear the auto no matter how dark, but the autoist has no such protection. In some cities they are compelling every rig to carry its lights for the protection of all. Of course these are pleasant things one meets while on the road and must be met to be appreciated. Of course there is the other side when the driver of the auto needs a good lesson from the law and many times he gets it. However there are two sides to the matter and all should be fair. If the autoist is to bear a big share of the road making, let him at least have some rights on that road. Local Option AofeA HOD. Perry J \ Powers of ih« Mail and Express, Caiilla, Mich., spoke at the opera boose in Howell Monday evening of last week on the local option question. Wexford county went dry last spring and the fact that Mr- Powers in his paper previous to that time was against the move and now is taking the platform in favor of it is one of the strongest arguments in its favor. He says there are many less arrests, bank deposits show an increase of 151,- 229 more than the year previous and business in general is much improved. Does not think Cadillac will ever return to the saloon, as 98 per cent of the business men are now for local option. The Fowlerville Review of last week published two columns of letters from the editors of papers in VauBurean county where they have had local option for 18 years. Everyone wrote over their own signature and one of them said: "The only newspaper in the county which actively opposes the law, is one whose columns are openly for sale, the editor having made no secret of the fact that he had sold out to the liquor men for the campaign expected in this county tbis spring." This sets us wondering. (?)

WhlTe I was engaged with the 'work to tb^e field, my brother built a shack and barn of logs, wakh we, have hauled during the time we were not abto to work in the field. We,were certainjy working very bard, but I am glad to say that we made our fortune in this country. To-day we do .not need to work so hard as we used to, as we have three men hired steady for whom w e pay J80.to.to 140.00 a month, besides board- and lodging during^ the summer time! I am also glad to tell you tint to*day-two are-owners of a section and three-quarters of the best land, with first class buildings thereon, besides having all the necessary machinery. We always do our own threshing, for we have a 22 horsepower threshing outfit. "Our success in farming in this country also enabled us to get rid of a number of »boraes of less value, and Instead we bought 10 pure-bred mares, representing ~a value in the neighborhood of $5,000. "Regarding raising grain, which is the main factor In our district, I am proud to say that we have always had good success. We have raised wheat as high as 35 bushels to the acre; and this year, although we suffered from lack of sufficient rain, Our Wheat went 27 bushels to the acre, and we had 900 acres in crop. We tiave broken this year about 100 acres new land, and by next year we will have about 1,110 acres in crop. Por one carload of wheat which we have shipped a few weeks ago we got a price of 97 cents per bushel, and it graded as No. 2 Northern, although we have a quantity of wheat which will surely go as No. 1 Northern. During the six years we have been farming frr ourselves we have never had one j fr6if around here, so that we always , had A .food crop. I "I, for i£j .self, feel compelled to say j that our Grea^ West is the land where a person who is willing to work and trun his hands to anything can make i a fortune, and a comfortable living. ! Our country is a thoroughly free conn- ; try, and we have a good Government; j and, as long as we have good crops, I and a good Government, we are satisfied* and I think that is all we want.

If the wprld had pot passed beyond the age of myth-making, the disaster in* southern Italy would be ascribed to the turning of Enceladus in his sleep. Enceladus was one of the giants who rebelled against Jupiter. He was killed by one of Jupiter's thunderbolts, according to Virgil? and*burled under Mount Etna. When he turns in his grave th,erearth, quakes, (and, whep he breathes thej mountain belches forth Are and smoke. It was the peculiar geographical and geojqgical formations round Sicily and the Strait of Messina that gave rise to many of the ancient myths. The rock of Scylla, dangerous to navigators, was believed to be the home of a monster which seised the sailors from the decks of the ships that passed too near. The whirlpool of Charybdis,. across the strait, was said to be caused by another monster which swallowed the sea and spewed it out again three times a day. The Sirens lived on an Island In the neighborhood and charmed sailors to their destruction. They were finally foiled by Odysseus, who closed the ears of his sailors with wax and had himself lashed to the mast of his ship. So chagrined were: the three'sisters that they threw themselves into the sea, and were tranBfQr,med,l!ntp,,nrocky islands which bear their names. ?nr "Alaska is a cold and barren region and is almost useless except as a hunting ground for the seal and other fur-bearing animals," declared a standard school geography published BO recently as 1875. The discovery of gold served materially to broaden that view, and- a representative of the department of agriculture now reports that the territory's agricultural possibilities have been grievously underestimated. In the Yukon valley he has ripened oats, barley and winter wheat for successive seasons, and found them fully as heavy as the beef, grain of the states. Grasses grow abundantly, as do all the hardier vegetables; and when it comes to live stock, Galloway cattle, a long-haired, hardy breed, stand the climate well. Such facts suggest that It should not be difficult to carry out the al|n ¢^ the AJaska-Yukon.Paclfie exposition, "to correct the common Impression that Alaska and Yukon are nothing but countries of cold and gold.!' .

Chamberlln goes to Washington to be sworn in ma United States senator, the acting governor of Oregon will be a woman. It is understood that Gov. Chamberlln does not intend to relinquish the office of governor until he takes the oath as senator. There will consequently be a period during which he still will be governor after ,he leaves the state.

Taft, state inspector ,of nurasries, has made the unwelcome discovery that" the brown-tall moth, one of, the most dreaded tree pafasltes known, has invaded Michigan. The little pest sneaked over from France as, a stowaway In an importation, of nursery stock by a Michigan grower. Every effort will be made to stop Its being fruitful and multiplying, including* arsenate of lead s"pray and oil solution. The moth has been domg much damage in Massachusetts, where a million dollars is avidly spent every year to get rid of It. In Europe It does great harm, but Is held somewhat In check by parasitic Insects, for even these pests have their "little ones to bite 'em." The moth is white and about as large as a cabbage caterpillar. It gets its name from tufts of brown fuzz on Its abdomen. Burled Together.

She writes: '•I had been a coffee drinker nearly all* my life and it affectedcmy. stomach —caused insomnia and I was seldom without a headache. I had heard about Pohtum and how beneficial it was, so concluded to quit coffee and try it. . "I was delighted with the change. I can now sleep well and seldom ever have headache. My stomach has gotten strong and I can eat without suffering afterwards. I think my whole system greatly benefited by Postum. "My brother also suffered from stomach trouble while he drank coffee, hut now, since, using Postum he feels RQ much better he would not go- back to coffee for anything." ; • ' Name given by Postum Co-, Battle Creek, Mich.

The younger man drew nSSTtjMn^SSSTl'udai SYNOPSIS. "Vanishing Fleets," a atory of "what might have happened," opens in Washington with the United States and Japan near war. Guy HlUler, secretary of the British . embassy, and Miss Norma Robarts, chief aide of Inventor Roberts, are Introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines. Guy HllUer starts' for England., .^orma Roberta leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii Is captured by the Japs. All ports are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Jap* aaeae fleet and whole world becomes convinced that CnUed. Statss-hae. powerful war agency. Knglajid decides to send a float* to American waters as a Canadian protsfetion against what the British suppose* !s a terrible submarine flotilla. Hfifier is sent with a message. Fleet mys-, terteusly disappears. The kaiser Is mis*. 1 log. King Edward of England Is confronted by Admiral Bavins of the United States.. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, Is discovered at an Impassable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before the war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, tailing of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels te Increase speed to over fid miles an hour. | A city for the manufacture of the my*, tarfous discovery is built on the coast of Florida. Dr. Roberts' drat attempt to electrify plates proves a failure. CHAPTER XV.—Continued. 'It's all right this time," the inventor assured him. "Wild current and wet floor before, badly insulated handle, too. All fixed up now. Won't be any accident this time," and so* on, making the final inspection of his apparatus as he talked. Norma reviewed J her father's work, to be certain that all was well, and then at a nod from him took her station at the other monster which had not been used hitherto, There was a simultaneous movement on their part, and, as if suddenly endowed with a soul, the iights once more flashed here and there, glaring at them with sinister contempt— Franken steins under control! The admiral, fascinated by the mystery of science, stared at the whitehaired old man who was calmly watching his play of colors, and then at the girl who with equal self-possession and coolness manipulated the strange currents beneath her hands. They were animated as by one mind, throwing their levers and switches to and fro at Identically the same moment without looking at each other, and the click of the closing currents came in unison. Not until then did they step back from their stations and interchange what seemed to the admlraj mutual glances of congratulation. "That assistant of mine Is a wonder!" was all the old man said as he came over, dragged a stool up beside that on which the officer sat, and gleefully rubbed his hands together. "She thinks more clearly than I do." Brockton, who had been tense as a violin string and had almost forgotten to breathe, drew a long breath and looked at the girl, who had been leaning against the wall as though exhausted, but was now watching the slowly cooling metal. He would have asked questions; but the inventor turned to him and with an air of triumph said: "I wish you* would inwite all those who were here when we made the first teat. Then you will have the explanation, unless I am again mistaken." The admiral obeyedr and even as the cooling sprays were sifting over the great pieces of metal they came trooping in from the work which they had resumed. There were men from the draughting rooms with pencils behind their ears, engineers from the outside with shirt sleeves rolled up and forgotten diagrams under their arms, and one man came from the laboratory absentmindedly carrying a test tube, balancing it so that he might spill none of the liquid which it contained. Norma was now resting calmly against one of the huge dead machines. In a tone 01 unusual gravity Roberts addressed them. "Boys," he began— they were all boys to him—"you have witnessed the accidental disco\» ery, I believe, of the most powerful force the world has ever known. You have been fortunate. In more than 78 years of life I, who have spent the time in strange studies and stranger work, have had no privilege so great. Yam have all -been kind to my daughter and to me, and I am glad you are Sara now." H e paused-for a moment order from an insane man consigning; him to inglorious death. The voice of the admiral put an end to the wait. "Go ahead!" he said quietly. "Those plates may weigh tons; but if Dr. Roberts tells you to pick them up, you go and try it." With the absolute'precision of training, the officer's heels came together and his hand to his cap in quick salute. He strode to the plates, . and stood opposite Jenkins, while the spectators craned forward, speculating as to what freak of madness was to be demoMaatrated. Jenkins, grave and unquestioning, looked across at his companion, nodded to jiim, and together they stooped and caught a handhold. Together they gathered their muscles as if for some prodigious exercise of strength, and simultaneously strained upward.

CHAPTER XVI. '"'' '"'' A*n invincible Arm! The officers, still doutfting their senses, stood'before' this uncanny manifestation like men in a world of unreality. From without, for some unaccountable reason, the varied' clamor of" industry had subsided to silence, and the soldiers' song was finished, tiven tbe yellow light of the afternoon which Altered through the window panes appeared strange, spec* j tral, and unearthly. In the shadow of j that massive thing whfSh hovered above them, Nature seemed bent on the revocation of her laws, and for an Instant their senses reeled ia the struggle for comprehension. "Old Bill" Roberts broke the spell. He reached up and touched the tip of a finger to the mass and moved it gently toward them with no moio ex- Norma Was Now Resting Calmly Against One of the Huge Dead Machines. came up with such ease that they were lifted breast high without perceptible effort. "Higher, higher!" called tho old inventor, springing toward them and gesturing with his hands. The plates rose until they were held with finger tips, and breathless suspense enchained the spectators. "Now stand from under! Let go of them! Let go of them!" yelled Roberts, dancing up and down in excitement; but the men still held on as if rendered powerless by astonishment. "Stand from under!" commanded the admiral; and discipline again mastering them they obeyed, springing back In the apprehension that the two immense plates might by some necromancy come crashing down and disappear through the floor. With something almost like a sob, so great had been his mental strain, Jenkins stood transfixed. The admiral gave a gasp, and with one hand poised in the air stood like a statue. A hammer fell from the hand of one of the engineers standing behind, and the man who had been tightly clutching the test tube opened his fingers and let it crash to the floor. In this tinkling sound of broken glass on cement, another gave a sharp ejaculation and took an involuntary step forward. They had witnessed the first positive exhibition of true levitatlon, a solid body suspended in the air without support They had seen in times past with complacency, knowing that it was dependant upon optical illusion, the-oonjurer's trick, mystifying t o the ertion than would be necessary to push a toy balloon. There was no levity in him when he addressed them, but rather the simple grandeur of one who has wrested from Nature one of her greatest powers, and was now preparing to harness it for all time, a slave to peace, progress and the welfare of his fellows. "My friends," he said, "by the discovery of an alloy of metal and metalloids we have created a new substance, which when an electrical current of certain potentiality is passed through it becomes intensely radioactive; infinitely more so than radium. Through these machines," and here he waved his hand at the twin apparatus in the rear, "my daughter and I have produced electrical manifestations hitherto unsuspected and unknown. The metal itself, while radioactive to a certain degree, does not. become intensely so without the application of the excitant current" He pulled the plate down till it rested on the floor, and stood upon it, while they, still awed, waited for his further exposition. "This morning, by an accidental contact which lasted until the plate had torn itself loose and broken the current, I saw to the full the possibilities it contained. The Impact of the emanations, or radioactive corpuscles, against the sheet of insulation and tank at the bottom drove it through the floor and into the ground, because the corpsucles which flew off in the other direction were unimpeded, free aad-iiaraleea.

Those two plates are workiug against each other with nearly equal force, the balamce being disturbed only In ratio to gravitation," ^ -The solution of the flying machine P Jenkins shouted.excitedly, and Roberts, appreciating the engineer's quick understanding, amiled and responded : s"Yes, just that." 4 "But what will furnish its propulsion?" asked Jenkins, whose mind was traveling over the possibilities of rapid flight. The others evinced their Interest by craning forward. "It will furnish its own," the scientist answered, "because by the use of the apparatus behind it we can excite its radioactivity to any^degree^ that mlgkt be'safe. More plainly, the moment the current excites and therefore increases the power of tb^.lower plate, a lifting energy* could be exerted which would destroy the equilibrium of levitatkm and drive the plates into the air with a force corresponding to the strength or character of the current. Or, on the other hand, if the upper plate was similarly excited, thus liberating its corpuscles, the plate would be driven toward the earth." The admiral, who had been slowly following this dissertation, seemed suddenly to have grasped its entire meaning, and thrust himself out from the group with both hands extended and gesticulating rapidly. "Then all you have to do," he said, "is to put on either end of your airship a freeboard made of this metal, capable of excitation and insulated on its inner surface, and you would thereby be able to drive your tjraft in either direction "at any speed you might wish!" "That's it exactly," answered Roberts and Jenkins in unison. The inventor continued: "I can beat a freeboard, however, because I shall apply my electrical current in, such a way as to send all the corpuscles of radioactive matter in any direction I may choose. I could with this alloy even create magnets of unknown power. I can built a craft in sections where magnets and radioactive surfaces will alternate." He was growing excited as the mag: nitude of the scope of his discovery dawned upon his imagination. Norma calmed him flowttjvbut the admiral, infected with these visions, took up the strain and enthusiastically expatiated to his companions. To him the skies were already filled with flying ships that were to swoop down over an enemy, drop terrific bombs of high explosives, and thus sweep the seas. But future events, he was to learn, cannot be predicted with certainty. "Well, well!" he said, briskly. "What next?" "Your engineers must assist me in drawing plans. We shall want great quantities of new material and electrical equipment, and must have them soon; because when we get well under way we should be able to create two or three of these radioplanes each day." The great plates were locked In, and the group repaired to one of the offices, where for hours the inventor elaborated his scheme of control, the mechanical means of which were to be worked out and drawings made by the engineers. And as they toiled over their plans, there spread from mouth to mouth throughout the strange colony the story of the marvelous conception, until even the most prosaic workman found himself dreaming and speculating over his task. Before dusk had crowded the light from the skies, the Columbia, under a full head of stekm, picked her way out to meet the ocean swells, and headed for Miami, where she was to send a message to Washington, calling for stranger? assorted supplies and notifying the anxious naval men that the dry dock would not be needed.

"Speech!*' $4*d the pupile. "Ain't you goto' to t r e a t r shouted some of the md>e practical minded. Instead of ffievbTi4egroom, however, the ghostly flgtrtwr proved to be hie brother, JajBrtiK., the superla!#ndent. He requested tljrp pupils to iftf home, and although there was some grumbling over" the ^failure of the bridegroom tofi«cqme through with the treat," they obeyed. Timothy's failure to treat became a village Issue. Around the hot stove in one of the village groceries the town "cutups" held a consultation and came to the conclusion that- "Tim hadn't done right." Furthermore, they vowed, by heok, that Tim shouldn't rest until he had treated his pupils. For thrca hours that night they raised bedlam In front of the Jamison residence. All to no avail. Tim showed no disposition whatever to extend the hospitalities expected of him. "We'll show him, b'gosh," said the merry wags. With voices somewhat frazzled by the wear of the night before, they assembled. They didn't rely upon noise this time. They wired up all the doors and windows, and then one bold spirit olimbed up on the roof and stuffed rags down the chimney until It was completely clogged. This left to the Jamisons the pleasant alternative of being smothered with smoke or putting out the Are and enduring the cold. "We're coming back every night, until ye treat the scholars," shouted the band as they left the Jamison residence about daybreak. Superintendent Jamison was grieved. He appealed to the village marshal, but that worthy remarked that he, too, thought, by gum, that Tim ought to treat. Consequently the Jamison brothers and Tim's bride have left in disgust, declaring they will not return. The pupils, while they did not get their treat, are rejoicing in the extra vacation.

Train Robbers Got^ $35,000. ^ That the hold-up pf; ffte fceave* & Rio Grande passenger train No. 4 near Denver early Saturday ,mo>nii*«a>r was* the work of thres tostead of twd robbers, and that t;he robbery of the mail car gave them a loot of "possibly $35,- 000, is indicated by t i e investigation of the police and railroad officials. Eighteen packages of registered mall were secured. One of these packages is said to have contained a large sum of money, but until a thorough checking up of the missing package is possible the exact amount secured by the robbers cannot be ascertained. . The robbery was remarkable for its originality and daring. It took place within eight miles of Denver, within less than two miles of Fort t-ogan, the United States military reservation, and at the spot where haMtatiops are plentiful. Yet so thor> ough was the work of the robberB and so well were their plans laid that ,they had fully an hour and a half start of the officers. Search of the vicinity of the holdup indicates that a third man and possibly a fourth were engaged in the robbery, that a buggy was in waiting, and that torpedoes and red signal Area were used unsuccessfully in an attempt to stop the train before the automatic revolvers of two men on the engfne tender succeeded In doing thiff.

HAMPTON ROADS, VA.— Battleship races, a h If) against ship, and squadron against aquadron, marked the final leg of the cruise of the Atlantic fleet when the United States armada atarted from Gibraltar for home. The maneuvers of the fleet, re-enforced by nine warships from home waters, were the most elaborate ever undertaken by United States war vessels. And when the fighting craft cast anchor here February 22, they were In fit con' dition to steam out tq face an enemy. The program for the reception of the fleet on its return t # ,HBWft<|n Roads was elaborate and the.proud record made by It practically reversed th» carried out when the fleet sailed. President Roosevelt, on board the Mayflower, anchored between the HorseBhoe and Lynn Haven bay, reviewed the fleet as It passed in. Rear Admiral Sperry, the other commanders and executive officers, then went aboard the Mayflower to receive the president's greetings, after which the president in turn visited the flagship of each division and met the asaeman elaborate program, in which all the vessels took part. While the fleet, or the main body of It, jogged along at a pace that brought it into Hampton Roads February 22, the individual ships were put through speed trials and endurance tests. Ships of similar class raced to determine individual excellency, while battleships of different designs were tested one against the other to determine the superiority of style. There were also races between squadrons, and battle maneuvers, in which squadrons and divisions participated. There also was gunnery practice under practically battle conditions, and new records have been made. NEW RECORDS FOR SAILING. None Other to Compare with Aohl«vement of Our Fleet. SINCE the fabled cruise of the Argonauts of old there have been many famous cruises in history, but non^e tbat>ean compare, either In magnitude >of. vessels or in length of miles, to Egypt and afterward to the West Indies and back, only to end in those ever memorable disasters to French sea power at the battle of the N i k and at Trafalgar. 8ccond Spanish Armada. Coming down to more modern times, no one can have forgotten, that ill fated cruise of another Spanish armada under Admiral Cervera, which ended in the total loss of Spanish sea power at Santiago de Cuba. When President Roosevelt gave his first order that the Atlantic fleet should vatart for its "practice cruise" to the. Pacific from Hampton roads, ail the European naval experts on t!M> continent permitted themselves to doubt whether our Bhips could ever be got ready in time, and whether t h e long cruise could ever be accomplished without serious disasters. But every English speaking sailorman knew In his heart that t h e great fleet would be all • ready and would start exactly on time, to the minute, as it did. WELL PUASMItt-IESTEID!

The cruise has been a practice trip throughout, but it remained for the final lap to Institute the maneuvers and tests planned. The intention was to give the vessels the severest trials at the flnlBh of their long journey, in order that any defects in them might be demonstrated. In addition to the 16 battleships that composed the fleet, there were the Yankton and Panther, two atoreships, and two colliers. These were started ahead from Gibraltar. Before they had negotiated much of the distance westward across the Atlantic they were met by the welcoming fleet sent out from the United States. This consisted of the battleships Maine, New Hampshire, Idaho and Mississippi, the armored cruisers Monlana and North Carolina, and the scout cruisers Salem, Birmingham and Chester. When rhey joined the others it made a fleet of 20 battleships, five powerful cruisers and two smaller .fighting craft. As soon as the warships were assembled the real work of the homeward cruise was undertaken. Admiral Sperry had framed to the great world cruise Just finished by our fleet. When Admiral Rojestvensky took his doomed ships from the Baltic to the Sea of Japan, this was heralded to all the world as the greatest armed cruise in history, and so it was up to that time. Yet apart from the singular fact that these Russian fighting ships were foredoomed to disaster, what a miserable achievement it wan as compared to the magnificent, resistless, onward sweep of our own fight- Ing ships! Significant Historical Fact. To th« historian it cannot but appear as a significant thing that all other previous great cruises in history, with the exception of those undertaken by English-speaking sailors, have only resulted in disaster and shame. There was the great cruiae of the Spanish armada, for instance, launched against. England by Philip II, of Spain, which -ended in such nttei rout and disaster. .. • Then there were those ambitious naval projects of the ftroat Napoleon resulliuK in the famous French cruises — I "The soil on my farm is a black.

"My opinion is that t h e man who comes here with a little means can do no.better than invest $500 or $1,000 in cattle, after locating a homestead adjoining or near some hilly part of the country where it will not be taken up as soon. There is plenty of grass and buy to be found in the hilly country and small lakes and sloughs will afford sufficient water for any amount of cattle. The bluffs with a few hay or straw sheds will make sufficient shelter for them. There Is no need to# worry about the market for cattle, as there is already a great call for stock of all kinds to satisfy t h e continued demands of the large packing house at Edmonton, established by Swift and Company.

Guy Hllller, secretary of the British embassy, and Mis* Norma Hob- •orta, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are introduced aa lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines, Guy Hllller •utarta for England. Norma Roberts leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All ports are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese ttest and whole-world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency. England decides to send a. fleet to American waters aa a Canadian protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hllller Is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bavins of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, is discovered at an impassable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before ths war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, telling of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels to increase speed to over SO miles an hour. A city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built on the coast of Florida. Dr. Roberts' first attempt to electrify plates proves a failure. In a second «ffort Norma is knocked unconscious, but the mystery of true levltatlon is solved, making the most Important discovery of centuries. Roberts evolves a great flying machine, rendering warshlpi useless. C H A P T E R XVI.—Continued. There where the heart of the American government beat was nothing but anxiety and suspense. Each succeeding day's events had made it more certain that Japan would force the issue to war, and, like an athlete, was stripping and training for the fight. The men who had taken upon themselves the tremendous responsibility of intrusting the nation's defense to a single discovery, and were backing it wit'* funds for which they must account some day, saw the days slipping by, and grimly realized that they were irrevocably bound to the success or failure on the key. It was too late now to attempt other projects, and glory or defeat hung suspended on the issue. No reports had been received, and no news had come from that determined little army that had sailed away to the south. Hence It was with aorae- 'thing of a shock that the first word received was to the effect that the dry dock could not be utilized. It seemed like the first dread handwriting emblazoned on the wall, foretelling failure, disaster, disgrace and war, and the president as he read it quoted with inexpressible sadness: "Mene, Mene, Tekel—" and his half-opened lips framed the rest. Then followed the requisition for supplies, and once again before any detailed report had been received came another demand. The Island in the solitude seemed an insatiable monster, devouring national funds and giving back nothing in return. More days went by, bringing nothing save distressing stories from the orient, where a clash had taken place at Chemulpo between Japanese sailors and American marineB. This was of such serious nature that apologies were tendered the Japanese embassy, and then from the entire country burst a storm of protest and reiterated criticism* o* the administration, which wis contumaciously accused of showing the white feather. From the western coast came appeal on appeal, the whota Pacific seaboard calling attention to Its unprotected state and the imminence of Its danger. Distressed and Irate at the dearth of Information, the secretary of the navy was on the point of sending a message to Brockton demanding.news, when he received from Miami the terBe message that In two nights more the admiral would report in person. That he liore nothing but a tale of disappointment was surmised from the closing words of the admiral, who requested that all those who had been party to the project should assemble secretly as before at the White House after nightfall. Haggard and worn, they came together, read the brief dispatch and waltnd. The president, his melancholy face set and grave, looked at them from cavernous eyes; but could offer no consolation. There was nothing to -do but wait—sit and wait—for tfc%4 messenger of 111 omen who was to sound the knell of hope and tail what letters had been combined to spell the word "failure." In hushed voices they discussed the situation, anar^ried to evolve some project for its alleviation. Aid then without' preliminary announcafteirt 4fce door aw,ung o^en^under too hand of i h e president's private secretary, aftd there stood trame$in it the h$fe form o#thA admiral, htajiand at salute, bis eyes shining" in trimnph, and back of him stood Norma, her father and Jenkins. Brockton advanced to the president's desk,.and faced him and the secretary of the navy. "I have come to deliver my report in person, and with me are those who have given thin nation the g r e a t e r engine of war that science has ever known." The room was. electrified; but rthe president sprang to his feet and threw up a restraining hand commanding st lence*, "Well?" he queried, inviting further words; but Brockton's place had been taken try the shriveled figure of a diminutive old man, who put a trembling hand out to his friend and in a voice of affection, hushed but exultant, exclaimed: • -"Paul, Paul, we've made good!'? . The other's hand came out to meet( his, and the only sound heard was the president's fervent, "Thank God! Thank God!" The gates of repression and emotion were duwn. These men had been tried to the breaking point, and now, when in one moment their skies had cleared, they gave way. They hugged each other, repeatedly shook hands, and in the eyes of some there were unrestrained tears. They crowded round the little group from the key and admonished each other to silence. "Gentlemen," said the inventor, "we have rendered warships useless. We need no armor! Increased speed on the waters is of no value to us. We have created a machine that flies, not a thing of gas, of planes, or a kite. We cannot explain here as well as if you were to go with us and see it, and what use we have made of your money." The secretary" of- the: navy looked disappointed. His mind was too intensely practical to jump to happy conclusions, "Can a flying machine whip a battle ship?" he asked; and would have continued; but the admiral brought his fist down on the desk with a mighty bang. "This one alone might do it! The others we'll have ready , before they, are called upon can,, whip,- the, world/' He stopped as-if abashed by his own enthusiasm*' and lack of * etiquette, looked at the president and the secretary apologetically, and then In a less tempestuous voice went on: "All we ask is that you come with us—so no one may see you, of course—and then you'll have no cause for complaint." MIB request was reasonable; but they were curious. After brief discussion and arrangement, they decided to go in motor cars, which many of those present knew how to drive, and within half an hour the entire party was whirling away through the side streets of the city, Out ratovthe residence sections, through Jong avenues of trees, past suburbs* homes, and finally to their destination. The night was lighted only by the stars, which failed to disclose that strange monster of marvelous metal and unprecedented power which loomed up dimly before them in the field. It stood there on the stubble, dark and inert, massive and without grace, like some gigantic turtle of a prehistoric age. Sentries halted them as they approached even as in time of strife, and compelled them to expose their identity. They went aboard while the admiral stood at the door waiting for the guard to come within, the last one explaining a slight delay by saying he thought for a moment that he had heard a noise as of some one creeping over the field, but had found nothing. "Sorry we can't illuminate," the inventor explained; "but we shall a little later after you have seen how it works." Jenkins threw a lever, and the heavy doors over the port, came to with a dull metallic clang and were clasped. Within a little hooded space forward a dim light, exposed great banks of levers, switches and dials, and by its faint rays they found seats improvised for the occasion. Roberts threw out a hand, and the hum of great dynamos: told that machinery had been set in motion. Back of them, in another apartment so closely screened that no streak of light might expose their presence to the outside world, they saw Jenkins and a junior engineer watching the play of the wheels. Norma took her place beside her father. They felt vibrant shocks as the great airship throbbed and quivered, and then, save for the song of the machinery, all was serenely« quiet and motionless. There was no sensation whatever, and they began vaguely to wonder when the flight was to take place, if that was the intention of their hostB. The voice of the admiral, pent with elation, called: "Mr. President and gentlemen, if you will all lean over back of you and look down you may see something." They obey«4 w4*h a pvocnptneea • w e atmlu. and saw that they had been seated over broad glass plates of great thickness, while far below was an unanticipated picture. They had left tbfe earth wtth that first preliminary jaJry and no saw on if* surface, picked out by th# taL . T W « W alf*ja^,,lfc*fiile abay<3 in the far distance expanding saucer- Uk*v while they gazed. The sea, with her*!,; and' there a slow-moving ship, came before their vision, and a little do$rth£ of'fire exposed a railway train crs/fcllns* along on its journey. It was aa'tf; the earth *ad fatten away- into; spgee and they alone igere in a position of security and solidity. VW« shall require four hours of your time at least," the admiral called, and with starts of surprise they looked to where he stood outlined against the light of the hoods, finding it hard tp realize that they were not addressed by a being of another world. The officer leaned over to the secretary of the navy and added: "I am going to give you our preliminary report, which wJUl save writing,, it." Sessions made no reply, but turned to his Interrupted scrutiny of the panorama on which the others were intent once more. They were being lifted higher and higher, and in this recession of the earth, its lights, which only a few momentB before had been far apart, now appeared as spangles on a vast field of black. Above them through a transparency in the roof the stars in the clarity of the rarefied atmosphere gleamed brighter, throwing outward Into the pall long scintillating arrows of fire. The strange creation of an abnormal old man and his daughter, the Magic Carpet of fable realized, swept upward Into the dome of the sky, veering outward over the silent reaches of the ocean, and then, like a ylfwd t o f t n i a 'occasion* only, com* prised all the trappings and furnishings of thlu monster that~Was tfce vanguard of modern transportation, and tin whose keeping rested tb* nation's pptrength.

Thejjj h*d pictured strange iaanlfestatioae of elecirlcmi acifcnejft; tint, aajy a rngjrtrtTt pinwti of brass rods ana" gleaming lufies was visible. The admiral read their unworded curiosity. "I can't explain it quite," he ea^d. "Dr. Roberts will tell youTall aboirt-lt pretty-, soon, when he cajj get a%»7 from piloting the. ship, Look out tor the shutters again. * Norma is goinjjrto open them and shut-off the lights. We are at our journey's end.* . -* A plash, a .flash, and again they were in darkuesB, and with one accord they turned to the reopened ports. Beneath them now glittered the arc lights of the plant on the lonely Island which they had peopled. The ^reat blast furnace was spouting toward them showers of glowing sparks and sheets of writhing iiarne, and before it, dwarfed by height into squatty gnomes, were those who incessantly fed it. The windows of the machine shops were limned in squares of white, and out to one side, throwing its searchlight to and fro, there steamed a gunboat, while afar on the other boundary of the key its sister ship kept equally vigilant patrol. Industry was spread before them—Industry betokening that night and day were being devoted to the country's need; telling through the hum of wheels and the roaring of the blast that the eagle from his lone aerie was sharpening his talons for the impending struggle, and preparing for a resistless flight Into the red sun of war. Dumfounded and unable to comprehend that In so short a time they had been transported a distance which by all known methods would have taken a couple of days to traverse, they stared at the scene opening to their view, and while this bewilderment continued the radioplane began a rapid descent in wide, sweeping circles, daintily picked out an open spot immediately in front of the plant, and gently came to rest. A Clash Had Taken Place at Chemulpo. great auk In homing flight. swunE off in a wide tangent toward the southwestern void, carrying them at a speed which they could not reckon. Below was nothing more to claim their attention; so, silent and spellbound, they turned to discover what they might within this shell of mystery. Forward, where the hood was glowing dimly, they saw the inventor standing calmly attentive to his task and scanning the faces of indicators before him, some of which they conceived" must tell of altitudes, direction or forces under subjection. In the glare immediately before-him, bringing out his face in Rembrandtesque relief, he seemed a patriarch whose superior knowledge had elevated him above the common paths of men and placed him on such an exalted plane of intelligence that he was beyond a standard of comparison. The consciousness that they were far above the traveled paths of all time lost its terrifying sense of strangeness and uncertainty, and they learned to trust this structure of metal whose great enlivened masses, entrailed with machinery, was hurtling with them through the night. The noise within was not sufficient to prevent easy conversation; but they sat as men stricken dumb, being carried away into captivity by some dread magician of more singular power than was ever portrayed in Persian tales. "Stand clear of the shutters, gentlemen!" the scientist called, turning his face in their direction, and they leaned forward just as Norma pressed a button. A sharp clashing noise smote their ears, and when next they looked at the ports they were* shut off by metallic slides. Again the girl touched a button, and instantly the interior of the radioplane was flooded with silvery Hghf It was a disappointment, for sight gave no elucidation of the secret. A low roof of unpalnted metal arched above them.

To Meet ths Enemy. A great ribbon of light from the watchful Columbia perforated the night, and as they emerged from the flying mohster>they discovered In this flaming pathway of white a line of shells * similar to that which had conveyed them to the island. From the one nearest came the ateady rebounding beat of hammer^and the-voices of men wfco were equipping it within, preparatory to transforming the dead, inactive mass of metal into a thing of obullient life and incredible activity. -^'Completing them at the rate of two av day now, gentlemen," Informed Brockton, as he led,.the party toward the machine shop, which was the nearest building. And this they were to leara was the story of the camp: Accomplishment, accomplishment—everything sacrificed' to" accomplishment! There -was no; recess from industry , when they entered the shed-like building, and go where they would they saw nothing but men working like mad, who merely looked up from their occupations, saluted, and then resumed their tasks as though the president of the United States and his most eminent advisers were not of sufficient importance to excuse delay. Here was a little army of men, expert in their several lines, comprehending the necessity for haste, and imbued with only one Idea: That their efforts were for their country. Soldiers were they who in other times would have shut their jaws and grimly stormed through shot and shell; but were now doing no left valiant acts when with every turn of a wheel or every blow of a hammer they threw mind, muscle and heart Into the uprearing of the nation's defense.

The surgeon of a large hospital was paying a visit to the patients when he come to a cot whereon lay an Irishman who waB not bearing his pain very bravely, for he was groaning loudly. "Oh, come, my poor fellow," ramonstraved the surgeon, "try and bear your pain like a man. It's no usa kicking against Fate." "Shure. you're roight, sorr," groaned the Irishman, who had been severely kicked by a mule, " 'specially whin they're the fate of a mule!"—Exchange. His First Practice.

Some one has said truly that responsibility walks hand in hand with capacity and power. Little is expected of the incapable. The very mention of duty, task, responsibility weighs like a burden upon the minds of weak men and women. Every one must have met men of good parts who will sedulously dodge anything like a responsibility. They shun everything like responsibility though high rewards may be offered. The mere thought of being held to strict accountability dismays them, and no remuneration and no honor are great enough to tempt them to leave the pleasant ways of peace to undertake a course which involves contention or strife, or even serious prolonged attention. Vocation. Every man has his own vocatio_. There Is one direction In which all space Is open to him. He has faculties silently inviting him thither to endless exertion. He is like a ship In a river; he runs against obstruc tions on every side but one; on that sido »U obstruction is taken away, and he sweeps serenely over a deepening e&anrel InW aa infinite tea,—ft.

It seem*-tq me, tft*t many people miss the troe*BSy* Of outdoors by depending top mueb on the assistance of others.' One finds on all aides tales of how rfwto go Into the wilda and give themselVaiL offer to the enjoyment of nature, b$;j>Qt3ewhow many of these btories show plainly that it was not the sportsman who did thing*. Too often j.h* sophisticated reader aud outdqor juiap detects the fact that it was the guide's skill which brought the game in range of the rifle. The guide did the tracking, or he called the moose, or he pointed out the game for ihe hunter to nee. Somehow most trips into the wilds are not declarat o r s of independence. They are, in fact, plain statements of dependence upon another's skill, another's kuowlrrtge and another's strength. After the Kiiide has driven the deer to one a stand "To make a long story short, half an hour passed before George, the guide, who had come up, finally found the deer dead." Then when wet leaves gave good still-hunting—"The guide mid 1 still-hunted," and it was the guide who.got the shots. I do not decry the value of guides, though I never hired but one, writes Raymond S. Spears in Recreation. If one is really incapable of getting through the woods alone, then stick to the guide like a burr. If one wants packers, cooks and other servants, well and good. If does save time to have.,erne's meals prepared and -dishes washed by audtheiv But when it comps to the actual hunting, why not strike out alone and shoot game, without the assistance of another's eyes, another's ears, and another's rifle, whfcli happens frequently when, a guide with a gun is alongside at every stride. An Amusing Controversy. An amusing controversy is going on in Berlin between MissOlga I)esmdnd a n r t t b e P r o l a n d i e ^ U t i g a l t y f e *1ft©; cult of beatay7.

But Herr Roeren declines to enter into correspondence with the alluring Miss Des. mond—wise man!—either directly or indirectly, as to his "parliamentary activity" in calling her by vigorous adjectives. T h e affair has attracted an enormous amount of attention }n Berlin circles, and the dancer is not likely to suffer any immediate pecuniary loss through the debate in the diet. It ts; declares the Boston Herald, a good deal as if the beauteous Mhss Garden should be haled up for her posturings in Strauss' music drama by an insensate member of congress; therefore Dr. Roeren's interpellation on the cult nf the nude falls flat, while Berlin smiles. Paris streets must, be in a queer way wheu^the prefect of police, M. I^epine, has to issue'a mandate that it is a punishable* offense to throw'orange or banana skins into the streets, and t h a t " anyone eating an orange in them will be watched by eagle-eyed policemen, it. is nmbarrSSsfSg enough "to eat an orange without'the police, inspecting the operation, "tod lo~ conceal evidences of the crime must< be., worse yet. But M. Lepine's order is absolute. He says it is a detestable habit, that It endangers life, for the fruit eater is selfish, and easts away tho slippery skins, regardless of who may slip on them and break a bone! Xo, not even inter the gutter can any such refuse go! Persons who have slipped on the pavementfe frequently sprained or fractured their limbs, and with the rapid traffic n>f motor cars and 'buses there is every chance of accidents that will prove fatal.

For the first time In Its history the Branch county Jail has not had a pris oner in the past two weeks. In that time the sheriff's and the police forces have not made an arrest. Dick Comstock, a 17-year-old Jack' son boy, has been sentenced to pay a $10 fine or spend five days in jail for contempt of court. He refused to tell where he obtained seme liquor recently. Though he refuses to discuss the matter it Is generally believed that Attorney General Bird is investigating ffairs of the Ann Arbor university Mr. Burt's Denunciation. The so-called mass meeting at t h e Auditorium in Saginaw has been t h e subject of unfavorable criticism and a number of prominent persons who were persuaded to attend the meeting, some of whom addressed it, are said to feel chagrined at having been drawn into connection with the affair, which is asserted ho have -developed into a ranting Socialistic tirade by Detroit and Chicago agitators. \V. It. Burt, who gave the Auditorium to the city, denounces the meeting in a signed statement as an anarchistic gathering. His attack has caused a sensation. In the course of hie statement Mr. Burt declares that he and other reputable men of the city, including two leading ministers, were tricked into attending the meeting under false representation as to its character. He says he helped defray the cost of the meeting and recommended that the committee secure Rev. Mr. Bradley as a speaker. He says he Is ashamed of having attended and regrets that he influenced others to go. Mr. Burt denounces the inflammatory speech of a Detroit man In particular. He says in effect that the meeting defamed the Auditorium, and warns that "when they bring speakers who declare that the judiciary, from the supreme court at Washington down, is corrupt, and that an honest man cannot get justice, it is time these people came out and held such meetings by themselves, instead of tricking the labor people and outsiders under false representations."

Looks Worse. "Apparently the further Hie thing £oes tho worse it seems to get for Armstrong," said Thomas J. Navin, member of the Jackson prison board of control, in commenting on the matter. "On the face of it things look very much against Armstrong, He is now completely out of the employ of the prison board, as is also his wife. Their formal resignations were received by Capt. Stone, bookkeeper at the prison, and will be accepted at the mooting of the board next month." "Will action on the appointment of a new warden be taken at the next, meeting?" Mr. Navin was asked. "I cannot say as to that," Mr. Navin answered. "Tho appointment, however, will not be made in a hurry; the board will see to it that time is taken to give the matter careful consideration." Storm Bound. The worst, storm of the season struck Menominee Wednesday night. It was general throughout the upper peninsula. Snow is piled in huge drifts from three to ten feet high, making traffic nearly impossible. All trains are hours behind time. One fatal accident occurred in the yards here. Albert Bird, switchman and lamp tender for the Northwestern railroad, was hit by a switch engine, the engineer of which could not see him, owing to the storm. Both Bird's legs were broken and he sustained other injuries. Change of Venue. Attorney \V. S. Cobb, who is associated with John W. Miner in defending Allen N. Armstrong, the suspended warden of the Michigan state prison, says that the defense had not considered for a moment the asking of a change of venue for the trial of Armstrong on ihe charge of soliciting and receiving a bribe. The prosecution does not appear to care a fig Whether a change of venue is asked and secured or not.

George Meade, conductor, injured is the same crash, demands $5,000 All records for the sixtieth congress were broken by the house session which ended at 3:21 o'clock Friday morning, having extended over a period of 10½ hours. Efforts of the house leaders to rush through all the important appropriation bills in the closing hours of the session, which terminates next Thursday- at noon, together,with the obstructions placed In their way by the Democrats, probably will necessitate long night sessions on every one of the five remaining days. The records of the stenographers show that the aggregate of the remarks made during the day's session exceed those of any day dnring the last quarter of a century. By an overwhelming vote, and without party distinction the house sustained the committee on approprir ations in again reporting a provision in the bill, restricting the operations of the secret service detectives of the treasury department. Debate over the clause brought out a torrent of invective and abuse of President Roosevelt by Rep. George Washington Coqk (Col.) So torrid .was the display of venom Cook was stopped b y - t h e house before he had spoken more than a few minutes'. Bpecinjefis of the tirade follows: i "President Roosevelt seems to think he'alone is the government and that nls^ipse dixit must rule everybody, including t h e poor and friendless black soldiers of Brownsville, insulted, dismissed and degraded without proof or1 trial, by executive Order and without any warrant of reason or law: "President Roosevelt runs the government on the same, pr.lndnje that the beef trust; runs |tsv ,sausage factory, from a', personal1 standpoint, using executive and judicial pdrk as the crude material of his fantastic administration. "He >has built up a Roosevelt ring in the army, navy and cWll service, all fpr his personal and political glory, supreme in his Impudence, vanity, arrogance and imperial egotism. "He rides through and around the arfna of political action, on his broncho of arrogant, egotistical impulse, pretending to throw his lariat of execution at the heads and broad horns of capital for tho delectation of votlrfg labor, and ending the scene with the cunning catch by a priarie wolf of 8 gopher." The World's.End.< "A collision of an unknown dark planet with the sun will terminate life on the earth," said Prof. Percival Lowell, director of the Lowell observatory at Flagstaff^ ^riz., in a lecture before the students of Massachusetts Institute of Technicology. "The event will be prophesied^ 14 years before the catastrophe occWs," continued tho astronomer, "and Chaotic confusion will reign in the world preceding the days of the calamity." The chance of the catastrophe happening in the near future was declared to be very slight by Prof. Lowell, nowever. .& England's Army. Secretary of War Haldane gives la general outline of the strength - .of England's over-sea forces as contemplated ' u n d e r the .great imperial scheme. Canada, he said, could easily raise five or six tectorial divisions. Australia five, New Zealand one and South Africa forur or five. These in addition to the existing 14 divisions of the territorial forces of the United Kingdom would give a total of 30 divisions for home defense. Writh the 1G divisions of regulars ready for over-sea service it was thus hoped to attain an imperial army of 46 divisions, equivalent, to 2,1 army corps. This was just the strength of the German army, Mr. Haldane said, and no other army in the world had so great au organization. ^Jutjipt Brewer Knoo*iev Justice DaW<rrjr«3fer, of U» * States BupreiI»toojirl in addre a ^ U . « f » . atuMt* OB The Mlsti of ThbjvC«iuniiy~4i^t** Oftuie PtAce/hit «t ROOHTSU*fcd%p| fol^rsVsgancria-ttsiirii»«fi I army and navyr Among otbtt thiflfl.

A mob of 5,000 citizens attached the Creek quarter in O m J i a and from early Sunday afternoon until early Monday morning the streets of t r e district were a scene of rioting.

Five persons are suffering with gunshot wounds, 11 Greeks are so badly beaten they are In hospitals and about 15 other persons are suffering from assaults or as the result of misdirected missiles. Scores of others have slight- •cr hurts. No estimate can be placed ^on the financial loss resulting from the destruction of property by the mob. Five shops of importance were almost wholly wrecked, while 16 smalljrr ones escaped serious damage. FLOOD WARNINGS ARE ISSUED.

Heavy Touch for Money. Unless members of the present legislature put on the brakes, the fortyfifth session will go down Into history als the most costly in the history of the state. Appropriation bills which have already made their appearance will call for a touch on the state treasury to the amount of $1,458,255. Many of these measures are not the regular appropriation bills, but have been introduced to provide means for special purposes. When the regular appropriation bills make their appearance, the total sum will be given a big boost. (Game Was Swift. During a hot scrimmage between Rirl basketball teams at.

He turned from them aa If to hide hits emotion, and took a few step* which brought him tct tbp bl«Je of the ;radi?- plane. His long a r m reached out, aad slowly and in silence he chalked upon its metal side in big white letters, NO-R-M-A. The men of the plant stood quietly until the significance of his act dawned upon them, and then burst into a frenzy of cheers, forgot the dignity of his position, and crowded round him, talking as man to man. Norma tried to make her protests heard; but they were unavailing. The men were elated, and her father was satisfied. With little delay the party boarded the craft, the president being the last to say good-by. T h e big metal door was closed, and the Norma rose into the air on its return journey, while the men stood with bats off and watched it disappear before returning to their work. The radiuplane was making its last flight before the war, because it was deemed that all risk of discovery should be obviated, eyen though other methods of transportation were comparatively snaillike. And so t h e months went on with activity a t the key, placidtty in the administration, and preparations for a n protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hilller is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Bevins of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warships, Is discovered at an impassable point In the Thames.

Roberts evolves a great flying machine. rendering warships useless. The cabinet is taken for a visit and plans for a radioplane war against Japanese yre st&rted. CHAPTER XVII.—Continued. The president in a reverie found himself contemplating them. Here, he thought, was the personification of t h a t anomaly the American workingm a n : Ofttimes turbulent, frequently dissatisfied, sometimes waging warfaro with employer and capital and ourying political parties^ but when country and home were endangered, oouragoous as a lion guarding whelps, reckless of life, and unheeding wounds, plunging to the front in a frenzy, and asking no reward save the satisfaction of seizing the invader by the throat and throttling him to the death. "God save the enemy who underestimates the temper and patriotism of the American workmen!" he muttered as he returned to the long motionless line of radioplane*. The ray of light, broad, steady and clear, was" still there, and aa the visitors entered its borders the quick, sharp blast of a whistle in the rear, as if by preconcerted signal, caused every wheel lo come to an abrupt stop. From the buildings and quarters men came running to the scene and surrounded the guests, who were grouped together in the fan of white and immediately in front of t h e monster which had given them passage. That they were not to depart without some further attention was obvious. "Old Bill" Roberts made t h e meaning of the call plain when he addressed his friend in the old term of intimacy. "Paul, we have left to you t h e honor of christening the first radioplane ever built. She isn't named yet. The boys here wanted to call her the RobeTts; but I forbade them. I guess you know who I wanted to call her after," he said, laying, his hand on the president's a rm and looking up into his face; "but. then I wasn't sure yon would like that, so we have compromised by loaving it to you." The president, had in his hand a piece of carpenter's chalk which he had Idly picked up from one of the be had traversed. He stood ; ft*over between his long rough which bore evidences of hard physical labor in early youth, and looked affectionately down into the Inventor's eyes. He turned from him and looked at. those around him. Tn the edges of the light and stretching back into the darkness behind he could discern the faces of the workmen, the reflection giving them a singularly pallid look and making them seem like visages dismembered, their bodies being absorbed into the blackness of the background. They expected a speech; but he felt, a paucity of words when he thought, of their endeavors and achievements. He started to address them, but choked with the fullness of his heart. Without sotfh work as they had given, what would be the condition of t h e nation to-night? 'Men," he MM, using tfc« atrftngetfe "f appellations, "no word* of m i a t cax deadly engine ever-conceived, and we should be delinquent in our duty if we failed- t o uae it a s a means for con* trolling and thereby ending wars for all time. Let JIB bear •.•with* fortitude whatever reproacaea m a y 4>e heaped upon us. for we1 are'the-instrumerits of God, a n d t h e trial wilt last only a little longer. Let no man speak!" His -eyes flamed with inspiration/ and, like a prophet of old, b e led bis followers in his own footsteps, i n those trying times he was very near to the, God in whom h e believed, a n d only the walls of his room knew how often he appealed for light and guidance, trembling in spiritual agony, andy like t h e martyrs of all ages, crucified by his fellows. Events began t o move with light ning like rapidity a s May approached. Secret orders had been given to all the principal ships In Pacific waters to withdraw into neutral harbors, it being t h e wish of the men who were playing the stern game that all possible loss of life through accidental meetings might be obviated. Pacific commerce withdrew from the western seas, believing itself unprotected and the administration mad. From all sources of Information came the certain reports that Japan was about to attack. H e r communications became daily more Insolent; but were invariably treated with suave contempt. And then came a day which brought the most portentous news. The first was a message from t h e key that Dr. Roberts had broken down. I t was from Brockton, who made a pitiful appeal to the secretary of t h e navy to find Norma and either In Silence He Chalked Upon its Metal Side in Big White Letters— N-O-R-M-A. onslaught on Japan. As the work of construction advanced, Norma found respite to make occasional brief visits to Washington, where her time was monopolized by Hillier, who did not dream of his forthcoming trip to London; but "Old Bill" Roberts came no more to the capital. Now began that series of orders which subjected the men at the head of the government to their greatest trial. Work was stopped on all fortifications, beginning with those in the Philippines. It was accepted by the public as a foolish curtailment of expense. Before this had ceased to rankle in the public mind construction ceased in nearly all the navy yards; but the clamor then arose to such a pitch that outwardly it was resumed, being done for appearance's sake only and to prevent a revolution. So dangerous was the pitch of indignation that, some of the president's advisers quailed before the show of wrath, and feared that, an army of Americans might march on Washington. They besought the president to alter his plans and make broadcast announcement of the state of defense; but he, hla Americanism exceeded only by his humanitarlanism, stood steadfast. His answer was characteristic: "If our secret becomes knov."n, there-will be no war, and w a r is a ftea e * j i t | \ f o r our purpose. In our tyjUuUt, home from various ships give permission for her to be brought back by a radioplane, or to have her sent a t once by special train to Miami, inasmuch as she, being the sole sharer of her father's secret, was now the only one who could -be depended upon for the • metamorphosis of the plates. The message added that the inventor was not in a serious condi tion, hut that overwork, overstudy and overstrain had so taken toll that t h e surgeons declared he was coming down with brain fever and that his very life depended on his taking absolute rest. To hazard another trip of a radio* plino was out of the question, because the administration was aware that spies were still in t h e capital. The president himself sent messengers to find the girl on whom so much depended, only to learn at a late hour that she had not yet reached Washington, but was expected to arrive that night. He preferred to communicate his tidings to her in person, and therefore left word that, she should call at the White House t h e following morning. In the meantime advance preparations were made for h e r conveyance to the island, together with the grim old fighting admiral, Bevins, who was now to assume command of the aerial forces of America, and those officers • h o from time to time had been called **m^t ""*» 'Jt ' has been gfven by a miracle the m o a t ! Anf*<bea>when night fell and the p r e e l u e ^ ' s < c ^ pe*meo> fuH, came thq swift and unexpected announcement taAUtfa, J a j j h n e e ^ ] ^ * t t f e n upon th« Piufopkiesffarar >w%s ai, and the long e x i t e d !4"HU4t ' l a y T W the lists, while the natiou,Jwj*yed and rocked In turmoil, quivered With lp_»uk, »ud cried aloud for vengeance. When Norma appeared at tae'Svbitu House she was told of her father's condition by t h e president himself, who was plainly harassed to & e Ktoit by anxiety. "You can go a t once," he said; "but what then4? ' A r e there any who pan work the radioplanes?" "Yes, by nightly "flight/ Wo have trained crews for all and more than we have biuUt." "But there should be some expevt guiding mind who knows t h e secret ;f the craft." "Father had intended to accompacy them and himself direct the leading radioplane in case of attack." The president threw up his hand in a gesture of hopelessness. T h e time for attack was fast approaching, and could not be poatponed on account of the Inventor's illness. Norma, who had been standing beside a window, confronted the worded head of the nation. "You forget," s h e said, "that I have youth, strength, will and knowledge. Neither my father's nor my country's cause shall suffer." He walked across the room, towering above her in ungainly strength, took both her hands in his and looked deeply Into her eyes. "You mean—" "That If my father is too ill to go, I myself will fight the Japanese. I myself will give what expert advice is needed, and will demonstrate to the others what must be done In battle." Inflamed by the thought of what was dependent upon her, pride in her father, and Americanism, she was ready to accept the responsibility, even though it might cost her life. They stood in silence, holding each other's hands. He stooped over her, his sad eyes filled with an admiration which was akin to veneration, and kissed her. "Joan of Arc! Joan of A r c ! " he whispered, and said no more. She had been told that a train awaited. Together they walked to the door of the president's study through the halls, and to the outer portal. Unheeding those who were near, he caught her hand and held it to his breast, looking once more into her eyes. "God bless and keep you, my child!" •he said, and abruptly turned back to his seclusion, his hoad dropped forward between his massive shoulders and his arms swinging looselv at his sides. The day was not yet clone, and beforo the next had dawneil came the announcement that the Hawaiian islands had also been surrendered to the foe. The coterie of men within the secret held their meeting and congratulated each other that orders had been obeyed, no defense made, and loss of life obviated. But the public must be pacified. T h e swift convening of congress, its authorization of the administration to act, and the appeasing notice to the public that a wolldeflned policy was being pursued, followed one after the other, but still were not understood. Night and day now the president and his associates toiled and planned. Report after report came to them, until they knew that the hour to act had come. The spell of seeming lethaigy was at an end, and with unprecedented swiftness the cordon was thrown round the nation, its ports closed, and its communication shut off save through channels of the secret service, which was intensely active. Time was computed to the minute, and when the fleet, of conquest sailed from Japan the very latitude and longitude of the point where It was to be met were communicated to th* headquarters in Florida, where had been renewed energy. Hence it was that, as darkness once more mantled that isolated spot, a strange scene was witnessed. It was the departure of that invincible squadron of the air for the scene of battle. Night, after night, they hati maneuvered, till those who manned them were masters of their craft and of the new form of signals which were to be used in case of emergency. Ev.^ry detail was complete, every possible precaution was taken to avert accident. I.TO UK CONTINT"l-;n.) Baby's Quilt.

Plaids are very pop, ular. There Is also the promise or a return to colored shirt waists, which have not been in vogue for several seasons. Linens are either very heavy, with'a Russian crash effect, or sheer as batiste. Machine embroidery In colore on white, cream, ecru and black and of white on colors Is much used. It also promises to be a season of embroidery and braid trimming rather than lace, and the princess dress will give place to the skirt and waist effect with matching belt. In fact, all things point to a distinct return to curves and the small waist, in direct contrast to the waistless, hlpless, straight-up-and-down effects of winter. Sleeves will be long on shirt waists and tailored tub costumes, while the elbow sleeve will be worn with dainty, huffy afternoon frocks, and evening gowns will have very short sleeves indeed. With these few general hints let the would-be dressmaker plan her first work. Our Illustration shows a design with the shirt waist and skirt both closed on the left side. Skirt and waist are made separately, then attached by narrow belt over which a fancy belt may be worn. This joining prevents sagging and insures a straight line of buttons from shoulder to hem. The skirt is in eight gorta with an inverted plait in the back. The waist gives the broad-shouldered effect by coming out over the sleeves, which are snug-fltting, with only a few gathers at arm's eye and cuff, a striking fea ture of all short waist sleeves this spring. For a blue and white chambray dress, use crocheted linen buttons or cover molds with the chambray, embroidered in Frenoh knots with white ; mercerized floss. This design would I develop in colored linen, blue, raspberry or lavender with white stitching and white buttons; A very smart combination is gray chambray, with whito [ stitching and buttons. If checked or plaid material is used, then the buttons must match. Plaids in particular will stand no trimming,—Boston (Jlobe, *WI" JKARffVINfl lOlWfetf* Justfea fttorastt.

In the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, which comprise what may heknown as Central Canada, there was ft total wheat yield of about '107,000,060 bushels, worth to the farmer about $85,000,000; in addition to this the oat, barley and flax crops were worth another $35,000,000.

"The Government takes great interest in the education of the people and quickly aids the settlers in. establishing schools where they are called for. The schools, though graded differently than those in the States, are efficient and advancing. Our great drawback has been the limited and inadequate railway facilities, but new roads are being rapidly built and many more are projected through various parts of the province. The new policy of the Alberta government to construct a great many branch lines throughout the province will greatly help all parts of the country. If those new settlers who have to go back a considerable distance from existing railroads and towns to find free homesteads will but locate along the line of a projected railroad they will in two or three years be near both town and railroad.

The motley crowd of den cushions is not in keeping with the dignity ol one of these old sofas, and it dawns upon the decorator that to keep the sofa a thing of beauty it is necessary to cover all the sofa pillows with the same shade of velveteen. The two oblong pillows that, so often were a part, of these high-backed, hugearmed sofas have on them a touch of gold to vary what might be monotony if the velveteen is too dark in, color.

Winnipeg, Man.—The idea ofr meeting a real, live, sure enough timber wolf within, the limits of a full-grown city U.rather a startling one, but in Winnipeg it It sot uncommon. A recent vhilt from oae*of these sharks of MM lorest was noted in the society columns of local papers. A late street car was whirling along making up time on a suburban avenue running parallel to the famous Red River of the North when the motorman saw c gray streak fiauh to a position just between the two- rails and stand there threateningly. He had just time to realize.that the object waa an unusually laree, gaunt, gray timber wolf, rrcrrr- Th« Fender Smashed Down to the Accompaniment of a Terrifying Howl. with its neck ruff abrlstle, when the car struck It. The fender snapped down to the accompaniment of a terrifying howl of mixed fright and rage, and Tom Jones, the motorman, shout: Ing to his conductor, turned off the power and yanked the reverse. The conductor and two passengers who were on the car rushed to the front door, the conductor with a heavy switch thrower In his hand, just as the car came to a standstill. The moment the car stopped the big wolf sprang to the ground, bewildered and frightened. The motorman and the conductor elammed open the doors of the vestibule as the wolf leaped Into the darkness and loped off towafil the river bank. Jones pulled his gun and took a couple of pot shots for luck, and the "bone picker" was gone". A moment later, from the river bank, the men heard the long, quavering howl of the true timber wolf echo through the night. The great gray beast was making for the forest in the outlying parks over the snow-covered Ice of the frozen Red. Periodically Winnipeg receives a visit from one or more of these great wolVeB, driven into civilization from the north by the pangs of hunger. They cover great distances In single nights, following the river over the ice. SEVEN DAYS WITHOUT FOOD. Last of Auto Party Lost in Desert in Rescued. ' ^ * LUMBERMAN, ACCOMPANIED BY PET, HAS DE8PERATE FfQHT WITH WOLVES. , - CANINE DOES DEADLY WORK Frank Trathin GJvea Up Work, Buys Rifle and 8tart» Out to Avenge Death of Animal by Slaughter of Brutes. Traverse City, Mich.—Frank Trathiu Df Emerson, which Is 45 miles north oi Newberry, is mourning the loss of his fine bulldog, and that mourning is none the less sincere because the dog died In fhe defense of Trathin's life. Emerson is only a small place, consisting of six or seven houses and a sawmill, and the sawmill is the ex cuse for the village, as well as for num erq.ua camps in . the thick woods. Toward one of these camps Trathin started rather late one afternoon. The bulldog always accompanied him wherever he went, and in thia case it was lucky that he did. Trathin has no love for wolves, but despised them for their cowardice, be- Ilevlng that they would not dare attack a man in the daylight, hence he took no weapon with him. After he had gone some distance on his way, he became aware of the fact that he was being followed by wolves. The bulldog was much affected by this and he would run back, growl and then, with his hair standing on end, would use every means at his command to induce hie master to hasten: The eonduct, of th,e dog was such, the animal not usually being afraid of anything on four legs, that-it* fears' Were communicated to Trathin, and be started to r u n . •»•.:. This was the worsi thing he could have done, a» at once four wolves closed in upon him. He had just time to grab a stout club and back up to a tree when they were upon him. With the assistance of the dog, he managed to beat them off and mnke them keep their distance until within sight of the Do you tMrit^you-pen manage wrth my salary of *lfc Bweek, darling?" he taked, after she bad said yet.

This time the battle wag even more strenuous than at first, and the attacV was so sudden that Trathin and his dog were caught in a space so that, the four animals could attack him on all four sides. For several minutes he fought them off with his stick, the dog fighting valiantly, and finally the bulldog grabbed one of the brutes by the throat. This relieved Trathin and he beat about with the stick to such good effect that the three wolves departed, the bulldog lying down in the snow with its victim, waiting tor it to die. With his face and his hands bleeding and his clothes practically torn to ribbons, Trathin ran Into the camp just at dusk and, as soon as he could speak, told the men his story. He was given a rifle and, with several lumberjacks, set out to kill the band. Arriving at the ptere where the last battle had occurred, the men saw the four wolves apparently fighting amons themselves. Firing into the bunch, two of them were killed and the other two escaped. Lying to one side was all that was left of the bulldog. When Trathin left the other three wolves had returned to aid their companion, and the bulldog, to wive his own life, had been obliged to let go his wolf and fight the others.

The groat dimmer from obesity lies In the liability of the fat to invade the ecllular elements of the body, especially the muscles. This produces fatty degeneration of the muscular tissues, which greatly weakens and Impairs their functional activity. When the fat invades the tissues of the heartmuscles the disease known as "fatty degeneration of the heart" results, and the patient Is In serious danger. Whenever a slight additional strain upon the circulation results from undue exercise, excitement or other cause the muscles interfere with the heart's action, aud It Is liable'to cease beating. Anaemia and hysteria often are accompaniments of obesity. Because of the Increased weight and difficulty of moving about such patients are pre vented from taking an ordinary amount of exercise. Often, too, there are a lassitude and a positive dislike for muscular exertion of any kind. What to Eat. M. £. Church Note*. Tfce MFvises Sunday were well attended.

The earlier part of Victorlen Sardou's career was beset with many trials and difficulties. His parents wished him to take up a medical career, and he began his studies with some zeal. The love of the drama, however, was far greater than the love of the pill box, and In the Inter val of the other work Sardou was busy upon a play. Life was a struggle for him, for he had little money, though he managed to get Journalistic work to supplement his more.slender Income. His first play was a failure. and Sardou rushed from the theater vowing never to enter one again. He fell seriously ill, was nursed back to health by Mile, de lireeourr, an actress who lived on a floor below, and from that time his fortune was made. A very pleasant day was spent by some ot the members of the Putnam and Hamburg Farmers club at the home of Mr. Hendricks. Tbe crowd was not very large but what it lacked in quantity was nude up in quality. Aftet a oouutilul dinner a very interesting program was listened to. Song b y t b e u l u b ; Reading by Alae Van Fleet, entitled "A Fence on the Cliff or an Ambulance in tbe Valley;" and a recitation by Myrna Selioenbals.

The painter charges three or four times as much to put it on. When you pay a painter by the hcur for mixing your paint you can see your hard-earned dollars taking wings. B. P. S. is ready to put on; spreads easily because finely ground. Coarsely ground or hand-mixed paints drag on the brush and add hours to the painter's lime. Ask your dealer or send us a postal for our B.

The near war. Guy Hillier, secretary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and take* the Philippines. Guy Hillier starts for England. Norma Roberta leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. All porta are closed, fykyo learns .of missing Japanese fleet and whole world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency; England decides to send a lteet to American waters as a Canadian protection against what the British suppose Is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hillier is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser Is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral BevinB of the United States. The Dreadnaught. biggest of England's warships, la discovered at an impassable point in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months before the war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, tslllng of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels to Increase speed to over 50 miles an hour. A. city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built on the coast of Florida, Dr. Roberts' first attempt to elec- "trlfy plates proves a failure. In a second effort Norma is knocked unconscious, but the mystery of tnie levitation Is solved, making the most important discovery of centuries. Roberts evolves a great flying machine, rendering warships useless. The cabinet is taken for a visit and plans for a rudloplane war against Japanese are started. The first radioplane is christened "Norma," In honor of the Inventor's daughter. The start for the scene of conflict with a large fleet of monster airships la made with Norma in command. until they reached a common altitude. The cheer below had died away, and all was still. * Then, as if answering the call of 8 baton swung by a god, the palpitant air was riven by a mighty chorus from beneath. Mounting upward there penetrated to them, quivering with terrific fervor, the cry of invincibility voiced in the majestic wordB of that deathless song of battle: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the I^ord; He is trampling ou^ the vintage where his grapes of wrath are stofcd: He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; His truth 1¾ marching on. Out to the west, over sleeping cities and homes, across mountain and plain, chasing the long set sun, they went to meet the fleet of an enemy which was steadily sailing to its doom. The sword of a nation's vengeance was cleaving the night skies in its deliverance of an overwhelming blow. Ju long* .weird, dizify oJrcJaj^ like a wounded man striving to recover his bilane*, a -radlopjane wan -dropping had come upon thenJ4in the ^Ight.^ alowly down toward the waters, in There it was, a iillent'flefet of tip air. ping and writhing, thej flag of the nation they had coxae <to cqoftyjfr; the oldest banner in the world*. gad the one they had been taught1-through months of consideration to * deep-fee. Stars on a field of blue, fit emblem for warriors of the clouds! And.then ere the first flag had straightened out its heavy folds, the colors fluttered'from each birdlike craft, a challenge to battle in which the odds were against them. • - Aloft inthat fleet of the,, air, where all was quiet, there was ao sudden call of excitement. For hours, they had watched an* waited for the appearance of the enemy, and when he was sighted far below In the murk of the dawn each man took his post wlthoutwords; but the martial spirit which sends men to battle burned clear and effectually fighting to -regain its balance. The four inch shells had, done ho damage; but the far ot»tIy*ng er had made an. accidental hit a heavy gun. Zigzagging here atfd there in erratic swoops the radioplane continued to plunge. From the waters, below came the sounds of exenemy were gain CHAPTER XVII.—Continued. And what a difference there was between this fleet and those to which fhe men aboard were accustomed! On those battleships of the seas were magnificent forces of men trained to light, which were numbered by thousands; but here each crew consisted of a bare half-dozen. In the hulls of those vessels of the sea strove a small army, watching over and driving huge engines, and supplying them with steam; here were only one man and an assistant standing before levers,- switches and buttons, which did their work instantaneously and with no noise. In those destroyers of the waters throbbed mighty engines considered the modern triumph of speed; here was a craft that by a finger's pressure could almost run abreast the sun. Those ships bristled with mighty guns; here were no frowning muzzles or unwieldy turrets. Science was bringing an end to brute force, and the last battle against barbarism was at hand. For the first time since its birth the great plant was silent and idle and the men who had created it and by its means built this new fleet of the air were at rest. They had done all they could, and now gathered silently round the radioplanes, which stood in orderly array with portlike doors yawning wide to receive their crews. "Fighting" Bevina stood by his flagcraft, the Norma, and looked at the force under his command. Captains who had handled hundreds ef men and driven their great floating crafts of steel, and engineers' who had learned new calling* waited attentively for his last Instructions. The battle-scarred veteran addressed thera In a voice that needed no high pitch to be audible to all his hearers. "Gentlemen," he said, "I have nothing more to say to you. You are going out to fight what will probably be the last great battle in history. You are active participants in the final chapter of international war. The time is approaching when our profession win be useless, and I for one shall gladly turn to ways of peace." Norma, who had left the bedside of the sleeping inventor, joined the officers, and Bevlns stopped and saluted her. "With us," he continued, "is a girl who has laid all her talents on the altar of country, and is now prepared to jeopardize her life for victory. We can do no less. It may be that some of us will not return—the hazards of war can never be foreseen.

It was in the long gray dawn of the summer morning, and the wide reaching ocean, slate colored in the early light, seemed asleep in its quietude save where it was disturbed by movin fancied security, knowing that not on Pacific waters were there enemies capable of staying its progress, and insolently careiess In superb strength, went the Japanese fleet. The huge flagship, the Ito, forced her way in advance, the apex of a great and formidable trlange, whose sides were formed by other battle ships of scarcely lesB tonnage, graceful cruisers, and swift-moving destroyers, while bringing up the far rear were the colliers in whose hulls were carried fuel for the great armada. Here was the Kashima, which could drive her 17,000 tons of steel through the v ater at 19 knots speed; the Katori, but little smaller and almost as fast; the Asahi, the Mikasa, the Asama, the Tokiwa, and others which were dear to the heart and pride of Nippon — a gallant navy, carefully planned, well constructed, and of invincible size and strength. No squadron that breasted the waves might cause it to hesitate. In the stillness of the morning there came a sudden, sharp exclamation from the man on the lookout, an excited call to the bridge, and the quick step of an officer in answer to the summons. Almost instantly he was followed by another, who brought with him a pair of powerful binoculars, through which he gazed in the direction indicated by the sailor. There in the immeasurable void of the upper air, so high above that it floated in the broader light, soared a covey of gigantic objects unpictured in the lore of flight. Onward it came until almost above, when it stopped and majestically hovered over them, and ing prows. Steaming across Its bosom seemed to be watching and waiting for some rav of broader light. The pallid blue of those far-floating bodies rendered them almost indistinguishable, save when now and then they swung broadside to in deploying, resumed their speed, and swept round in circles. Puzzled and amazed, the officer handed the glasses to his companion and watched his face attentively, as if hoping to read from its expression some solution of this mysterious visitation from the immense unclouded ^>ace above. The glasses were lowered, and the two men with the superstition of ages behind them turned to each other with pallid faces, fearing the supernatural or the unknown. Again they looked, and saw that the flying specks traveled with incredible rapidity, and were apparently observing them, after which, aa they watched, they saw them cotm to an abrupt stop.

The Norma had been the first to decry the oncoming fleet, and Fighting Bevins with his own hand had signaled his followers to reduce speed. Now he stood at the transparent ports, heard the sudden booming alarm, witnessed the excitement on the decks, and smiled with grim joy. By his side stood Norma, and not even he, trained to strife and accustomed from early manhood to scenes of carnage, was more cool or determined. He looked at her questtonlngly, wondering whether or no he should read in her eyes a sign of regret or weakness, and turned from her with a glow of admiration. "Who is going to handle her?" he queried, glancing at the hood. "I am," she replied, as quietly as if answering a query of no moment. He held out his hand and shook hers, warmly. From away in the outer distance, where the angle was not too sharp to prevent its elevation, came the sullen report of a gun, and a shell flew past at such close range that its screaming came to them through the thickness of their plate nnd the open upper ports, sounding Its challenge and defiance above the droning hum of the dynamos. The girl glanced apprehensively upward, but the admiral continued his calm inspection of the Japanese fleet. Again from a vessel closer at hand came a series of sharp reports. The radioplane felt a shivering impact, and careened slightly in answer to its force. The admiral waR hurled against her metal aide, and one of the engineers seized a rail to prevent being thrown headlong against the machinery. "They're trying four-inch shells on ua! are they?" shouted Bevins. "Well, we'll put an end to that right now!" He sprang to the signal box, and Norma, reading his intention, hurried to her post in the hood. He ordered the other craft to increase speed and traverse circles till he. should notify them which war vessels of the fleet be*. neatb were to be their individual prey. Now the n u l l ab*Bs were lag Ue air arojad U**. Ta#. ^Jirieteen's object was made plain. The gretft radioplane shot to a lower altitude than that of its crippled fellow, dove here and there like a bat, caught a simultaneous speed, and rounding apward in a deft swoop poised Itself firmly beneath the lower nlate of Seventeen. "For an Instant the two, locked together and overweighted, slid sldwly downward through the air, and then Nineteen deemed to gather,itself, came to a stop, hesitated for a moment, and began a steady upward movement. As if divining its purpose, two other radioplanes swooped down toward the stricken monster till their sides touched, and then, like a group of warriors carrying a wounded comrade from the field, assisted the ascent into the upper void. Focusing their fire on the. group, t^he, J^panqae made • it a target, and the scream of shot and shell broke into a pandemonium until the air around was churned as by a demon's wrath. Up—up they went till they were mere specks against the dome of the heavens, where they were beyond range and in the profound silence of solitude. The others of the fleet, led by the Norma, hastened to soar toward them; but before tbey could get within speaking distance the wireless brought to all radioplanes this message: "Seventeen was struck by a ten-inch shell directly below her dynamos. Tbe jar caused a temporary break which cut off the current for a short time. This is nearly repaired. No damage of consequence has been done, and she will repert for duty within two mluutes." Bevins and Norma looked at each otVer with a great relief. "Thank God for that!" the admiral said, and it was echoed by his subordinate. They turned again to the port, and as they did so they saw the specks above disintegrate, and ia a few moments Seventeen, repaired, and again capable, was in line of battle. The cheering below ceased; but from the doomed battle ships and cruisers a continuous hail of ineffectual siots was fired, while the admiral of the aerial fleet, his plans formed, was calmly sending orders.

There are 101 cities in the United States with school savings banks, and on J a n . 1, 1909, there was dne depositors $759,646. i Since 1885 these school savings banks have been deposits aggregating £4,419,454, which is a pointer as to what the entire American people might do in the saving line should every postoffice become a savings bank. P. about 8 o'clock. Took trolly ride of about seven miles to reach boat, waited a short time, then about 10:30 reached the island. Two hotels, restaurant, bath house and a number of houses comprise the village. But after a short walk, you come to the Gulf of Mexico and its a sight worth seeing. Standing on the white beach picking up shells, moss and other curiosities which the waves brought to our feet, it seemed as if life and vigor were in the salt laden breeze. And the waves. Green and blue, light and dark shades. Capped with snowy foam as they broke in feathery sprays, were enough to fill au artists heart with envy, (only we wern't artists). As we sat on t h e veranda of the large bath house and watched the water, and noted the beautiful tint of the sky, the snowy mountains of clouds, heaped up in what we call "thunder heads", the white line of sand edging the dark weter far as sight could reach, sea gulls hovering o'er, we wished an artist wore there to capture and preserve the scene. In closing will say that gardens are in their prime, everything fine and strawberries are excellent. The friends join me in wishing the readers of the "Home Paper" (without which we could not do) a Happy and Joyful Easter. Sincerely, Jennie M.

Developments in the case came as soon as the Inquest was gotten under way. The son had told conflicting stories, and he was suspected from the first. The jury first listened to the testimony of two other neighbor women whom the son, Elton, notified that his mother was lying unconscious in the home, and who assisted in getting a doctor. Theu the son was questioned. It was not long after the questioning began before Elton coolly confessed that he klled his mother with a hatchet because' he feared she would inform the authorities that he fired t^e barns on .the farm which they rented and caused a heavy loss to the owner.

It became known Saturday that Chief Justice Fuller in pronouncing at the Inauguration the oath which Mr. Taft was to take, made a mistake. The chief justice said: "I do solemnly swear, that I will faithfully execute the constitution of the United States," etc. Senator Knox was standing near Mr. Taft as the oath was being adminis^ tered. He noticed the mistake and smilingly whispered to Mr. Taft: "Don't do it." There was a pause of a few sec onrs and then Mr. Taft with upraised hands spoke the oath in its correct, form: "I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the duties of the of flee of president of the United States and will to the best of ability presf rve, protect and defend the constitution of the United States " The Inauguration. William H. Taft, of Ohio, and Jameu S. Sherman, of New York, were in augurated Thursday as president and vice president of the United States. Sherman took the oath at 11:12 p. m. and Taft at 12:55. The ceremony of the Inauguration was accompanied with all due formality and finality, but under most unusual conditions, owing to a terrible blizzard which swept over the national capital, paralyzing street traffic, destroying communication with the outside world and bringing dismay to the thousands of assembled visitors who had gathered in expectation of the usual spectacular demonstration. Notwithstanding the adverse conditions, all of the main features of the inauguration were accomplished. The main change was in modifying the original program so that the inaugural address, usually delivered from the east portico of the capitol, was pronounced by Mr. Taft in the. senate chamber, where he also took the oath of office.

Less Majeate. A teacher in one of the schools of Berlin has given to the papers of that city a composition written ^by one of the pupils in his school on the subject, "The Kaiser," in the course of which the young author says: "Prince Wilhelm was born on the kaiser's birthday. From the dome of the castle 101 salute shots were fired. The old grandfather and old Wrangel hopped into a cab and went to the schloss, and old Wrangel said: The boy is all right,' and the father made a bow from the balcony, and it was awful cold. And when the boy was baptized his father held his watch in front of the litle fellow's nose, and he grabbed it and never let go again, because he is a Hohenzollern." Why There Waa a Funeral.

You see, there was a baby born up to Cal's house a spell ago, and the editor wrote an item about it, sayin' a tow-headed little girl ked come to make Cal and his woman happy, but it 'pears that the printer got the letters mixed somehow, Leastways it said in the paper when Cai read it that it was a twoheaded baby, and him bein' an impulsive cuss, there wan't nothin* to do but. hold the funeral the "next day but one."

"Until recently," writes a Washington g i r l , - I was a railroad stenographer, which means full work every day. "Like many other girls alone in a large city, I lived at a boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc. "After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terrible effort, and I thought the work was to blame—too arduous. "At home I had heard my father apeak of a yorras; fellow" who went long distances in the cold on Grape- Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast. "I concluded If it would tide hint over a morning's heavy work, it might help me, BO on my way home one night I bought a package and next morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk for breakfast. "I stnck to Grape-Nuts, and in let.3 than two weeks I noticed improvement. I can't.

McClure.J One day when Colonel Day came back to hia top story room at Mrs. tyllkirm' rooming house he found the room next to his occupied. It had been vacant for a year, and the colonel was not only curious, but nettled. The garret of the house WBH divided into two rooms, uud his wab one, and he had never eveu looked into the other, but as he had so long been the Hole tenant ef the top atory he felt that ho ought to have been consulted as to a newcomer. When he heurd a person moving around in the other half of his do main he went down to Mrs. Wilklns. The colonel waa a man of sixty. He had threadbare garments and an empty puree. While he occupied the cheapest room in the house, it was veil known that he was often hard put to p;iy his rent, while his meals were always taken at the cheapest restaurants. l i e was a man of dignity and education, and that he had once occupied a place in the world could not be doubted. "Mrs. Wilklns," began the colonel as he entered the landlady's presence, "I take it that you have rented the other room, and to a female at t h a t ? " "Yes, colonel, but It is to a young woman who is trying hard to make a Irving." "But you should have consulted me. I have been with you for a year, and I ihould hate to remove to other quar fairs, but please remember that I have certain rights and privileges, and they are not to be abrogated without my consent. I will think it over and con aider what steps to take." Five minutes later he knocked on the door of tlie other room, and it was young woman of ile 1 >o\vcd stithy, ; ;in iuvitat ion for locked around the old inink on the aN i.'les of weariii* MII the nulls A .eroml trlanee have no hop* of getting w e l l * "None whatever."

Why should I seek to Bve for three or four y e a n nior*v" "Yes, wo had a talk," she quietly laid. "Have you any money?" "A dime. Take It and buy you something to eat." "Partners to the last," he said a s ha lulled and rubbed his hands together. "It makes ic far easier where we are to go together. I will be back soon." "And it is going to happen?" she » k e d as he returned with a bulky package. "It must. Why should it n o t ? " "Yes- why not?" Half an hour later the colonel eat ftowxt beside the bed and kindly said: "We have been partners—true partners. I will sit here and hold your hand while we sleep." They found them thus- the policethe tearful landlady the bustling coroner— the reporters. "They simply fell asleep," said the toroner.

He came home In the small hours of the morning, and his loving spouse confronted him with wrath in her eye and a telegram In her hand, saying, "Here Is news that has been waiting for you since supper time."

Instead of going out to hunt, up a cheap place, she went, out for a bit of butter and a jar of marmalade. They had dinner together In her room. It was the first of many meals. The colonel and the young lady got to be very good friends. They counseled with each other; they cheered and encouraged each other; they deceived each other, or tried to, as to what the future had In store.

He 1« supported In his theory by physiognomists, who sill endeavor To impress us with the fact that no woman with the small red- Itfcped, "Cupid-how" mouth, so praised in song and story, was ever intellectual ar generous of heart; and it is consoling to those whose mouths are not In iccotdauce with the lines or beauty 'aid dwwh by the poets to be told that i ''wide, Ktruight mouth, with strong white teeth" denotes the woman of superior intelligence, goodness of heart, strength of mind and a thousand and irne other sterling qualities, which we jyl| like to think we possess, says the New York Weekly. It is the fashion *t present to hold the lips very slighty apart. ; T h i s fs supposed'to give-that nnocent, wistful, wonderful expression which wag'tlffer" peculiar property of the heroines of old-fashioned novels, 5ut which bicy.cle riding and kindred •spodern amusements have caused to vanish. HE WENT PAYS THE - C -*+- A YOUNO MAN'S BRIGHT FUTUHC BLASTED BY A PRISON' ' SENTENOt. STATS NBWS BRIEFS, WAS SKILLED MECHANIC, f_V Secretary Straus does c o t believe In wrenching the contract* labor law out ?f its legitimate function"trf protecting American labor. He has recently admitted to the United States a Canadian girl who desired to enter a trainng school for n'urses. BecaWe all the ?lrls who take the training course are flowed a small compensation, she was \t first denied admission, as a contract laborer. The secretary remarks that training schools for nurses are among 'he most humane of educational insti 'utions, and the fact that certain work Is required as a part ol the training, and certain compensation allowed for It, does not make the student a contract laborer. , Do you chew gum? Certainly not! Why ask the unnecessary question? But then, maybe you eat starch, which a New York authority says is a grow^ Ing habit and one of the most deadly of health destroyers. At all events, young people are so nervous nowadays they must chew something, and if not gum, why then starch, which appeals to vain girls who wish to be beautiful, out it is a pernicious appetite when once contracted, Like every such habit, says the Boston Herald, it is the result of a vacant mind. Feed the mind with thoughts worth the thinking, and girls and boys will not care to be gum chewers or starch eaters. It is always gratifying to meet a person who is contented with his lot. For-that reason it would be delightful to make the acquaintance of the woman who lately had the last word in a brief suffragist controversy. The writer of a suffragist communication in a newspaper wrote, sadly, that, "woman is nothing but a female relative of a man; the man is the noun, the woman Is the preposition." "Well, what,do I care?" was the triumphant retort. "The preposition governs the noun." Among recently elected members to Phi Beta Kappa, the society of picked scholars, is a Harvard student named Tien Tin Chan of Tientsin, China. Two Chinese, Mr. Wen and Mr. Chen, graduate this month from West Point, where they have been, in a sense, guests of the United States. The students who are to come to America as beneficiaries of the returned "Boxer indemnity" fund will find that their countrymen have set them a high standard in American colleges. •M i ; .

William Miley, aged !J4, who was sentenced to serve 15 years in the Michigan state prison for robbing .the postoflice at Hillsdale, is the soil of a well-known Indianapolis famriy. u H e is also the inventor of a' continuous rail device for use on railroads and interurban lines, which his family values at $150,uUU. Since- he waa a small boy, William Miley has em* ployed his leisure hours working with different sorts of mechanical devices. He has patented a number of minor inventions, but his continuous rail device on which he obtained patent papers one year ago last month, is the most valuable. Mrs. Miley, the young man's mother, stated that she was in possession of a cigarmaking machine which her sou completed recently, and for which she intends* to ask patttUtij, When seen at the home of her daughter Mrs. Miley said that her son had never been in trouble before. She declared that he had always been industrious, and that he had no bad habits that she knew of. Knowledge of his arrest in Michigan came as a surprise. It is thought she is sufficiently recovered to prevent her condition being made worse on account of the news of his sentence. Miley is by trade a cigarmaker. He worked for a number of years at that trade. Homer Giddiaga, of Hasting*, w i t convicted.-ef selling liquor to Indiana. He wiJ^he aeajLenceU-lat^r^ .< ...

The battle of the drys and wets in Michigan Is on in earnest for the control of the counties where the liquor question will be submitted next month. The counties irr which the great fight will be pulled off a r e : Allegan, Berrien, Calhoun, Charlevoix, Dickinson, Jackson, Genesee, Washteuaw, Eaton, Alcona, Benzie, Branch, Clare. Emmet, Hillsdale", Huron, Ionia, Iosco, Isabella, Kalkas ka, Lapeer, Livingstone, Mecosia. Monroe, Newaygo, Ottawu,. Sanilac and Tuscola. In many counties—in fact, practically all of'them—the result is-going to be very close, according to the best information available, it is very hard to obtain a definite line on the counties, because both sides are claiming victory by overwhelming figures, Allegan was dry, but went wet two years ago, and is very likely to remain wet, the principal argument being that feaugatuck, which is a big summer resort center, openly violated the law under tho dry regime and conditions were worse than with the saloons operating under a tax. This same argument is being used with effect in Berrien county, where both Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are resort towns. South Haven, which is in Van Buren, supposedly dry, is tho horrible example held, up. The biggest fights of all are being made in Jackson, Washtenaw and Genesee. In the first and last of the trio are big cities, Jackson and Flint, and it is a warrior dry indeed who is willing to stake much that prohibition could over be enforced in eiiher of these cities. Refused Renewal of License. Thirty Michigan branches and 2,.">00 Michigan members, of whom upward of 1,000 are residents of Detroit, are affected by a decision of State Insurance Commissioner James V. Barry to refuse renewal of the license under which the Catholic Knights and Ladies of America fraternal insurance society is doing business in Michigan. Notice of the commissioner's ruling has been forwarded to tho supreme president, of the order, and any attempt on its part to secure new business will be expressly against his injunction. The reason assigned by Commissioner Barry in refusing to renew the society's license is that as yet no satisfactory explanation has been made his department for the treatment accorded Mrs. Catherine A. Tattan, a widow of Detroit, formerly flrRt. vice-president of branch No. 148. /Flofld Fuller, who .was acquitted re i vf A c w i p e u p n M T W E « W T D I ? « rently of' the charge o£ attempting to ^ X - A ^ n a b IJICUXVI I r l t W 1 K 1 « > The Ice Harvest.

Even the storm of fire {rom, the. other ships had ceased. Norma alone seemed endowed with power of movement, and sprang Quickly from lever to lever and switch to switch, issuing her battle cry. "The dynamos! The dynamos!" she called. "Full speed, and stand clear for fear of accident! I've thrown the magnet currents! Quick! all your power before others can train a gun on us!" Her voice was sharp and decisive, end her words snapped like lashes, driving them to action. "Steady, steady!'' With almost the instantaneouaaess of its stop, the radioplane shivered and throbbed with increased energy. The dynamos hummed and roared, the rar^Sw-WIe their prows' tWtha * ° ° D wT«*W~TO MORAL, Scream of Shot and Shell Broke Into a Pandemonium. -^•Wftr^/^^^11^^ at 8UCh ::^m-4fmjm;Hrf» of speed that the engineers by the dynamos instinctively threw themselves to the floor, the man on the lookout'seized the bars before him, gasping for breath, and the admiral, startled, whirled toward the figure in the hood, fearing that some fatal accident had occurred. There, erect, triumphant, and fierce, stood the woman glorified who was striking the first blow for her country's honor and her father's exaltation. She was fairly hurling the machine through space, her hands grasping the levers of descent and; her eyes on the periscope which portrayed the position of their helpless victims. Bavins, in a fury of excitement, shouted U s approval with storms of oaths, completely swept out of himself oy the fierceness of the assault "Good, the darting hawk would have had more chance than they before this onslaught. This gigantic embodiment of doom was leaping down upon them with su*ch terrific velocity and at such an angle of flight as to preclude all possibility of defense. Irresistible, implacable, and noiseless, it was plunging for the final thrust. Its very method of attack was so surprising and so unexpected that, they were awed with fear, helpless, benumbed, despairing and conquered. They were men done to death and suffering the agonies of wounds before the blow had fallen. It was all accomplished with such rapidity that not even the most terrified had time to rush to the rails and throw himself into the sea. When the instant of death seemed imminent, they were paralyzed into inaction and cowered together, waiting for the shock of annihilation. And their suspense, although of a different nature, was scarcely more keen and heartbreaking than that of those in the radioplane which was hurtling at them. The admiral was still crouching like a man prepared for a blow, when Norma with quick energy tilted over another lever and checked the descent. Those within the shell felt, their hearts come back to the normal and were once more able to breathe freely. It was like the application of a powerful brake to a falling elevator, save that there was no abrupt jar, no discordant sound of steel on steel, and no shock of friction. Norma quivered like a race horse under a cruel whip, then steadied itself, seemed to gather its forces together, gave one mighty lift, and began to ascend. The frightened cries from without subsided in stupefaction. The fighting admiral with clenched fists was running the length of the radioplane, staring through the lower ports, and hoarsely voicing his exultation, hiB eyes flaming with the joy of victory. Out on the sluggish waves which had now changed to a coldly gleaming gray the other vessels of the Japanese fleet witnessed the beginnings of catastrophe. They had seen this incredibly monstrous thing drop from ether upon their flagship, crumple its upper works like paper, attach itself to the turrets, and then with phenomenal power actually lift from t i e ocean 20,000 tons of steel—a floating fortress believed but an hour ago to be invincible—and bear it away. Even as they watched they saw this strange god which had grasped the pride of Japan in his clutch deliberately shaping his flight higher and higher into the great void of the heavens and passing out of their world. Of what use were guns against these strange visitants, whose only human mark was the flag of the despised enemy? In hopeless screams of terror their sirens awoke the echoes with weird, despairing wails, and their engines under full speed sent the screws lashing through the water ia a last desperate effort to escape kf waves the superstitious,, sailers t e es ancestors, and prostrated themselves M r \i\$ in fpee^'tpieva** seizure was Ineffectual. 3 •$*?*., * s , the- Mfi, f held f ^ k by the Norma, was becoming a spejk agalntst the disk of the moaning sky, a n t ^ i r of those strange creatures made a scarcely less abrupt descent upon the Kasbima.VStacka and.masts -went down with a crash as had those others. The great wiagies* terror jticfeed her up into the air before b,er enginea could be stopped, ajaq,, with her scrtsw beating the atmosphere like the flutteriug Huts of a fish captured by a marauding eagle, sailed off with her Into the blue above. Once moro they tripd the effect of gunnery, when the Katori was threateuv4;' but it was futile, and, reading *heir doom, they w.aited their turn. It was .not long, in coming; for s e w by twos and threes they were t#rn train the ocean and lifted ajgft. The colliers were the last to'saccumb, and their crews, realizing that the bulhi alone would come in contact with the implacable demon* above, ran screaming below decks to continue their supplications to the deaf gods who had deserted them. From the thick glass of his port the admiral looked down upon his conquered foemen and watched the precision with which his orders were being obeyed. Each time a victim was. seized he shouted: "Three's done her work!" or "Good boy, Seven! You've got him!" and so on enumerating each success. Some movement on the deck of the I to close at hand arrested his attention. His brows came together again In a fierce scowl. "Stand by the magnet levers, Miss Norma," he commanded, "because of these fellows below mean to show the least resistance whatever, we'll drop 'em!" - She had been standing serenely in her hood, her head thrown back, reveling in the glories of triumph. When the fate of the battle had hung upon her performance, and when her own life was threatened, she had thrown herself body and soul into the fray, wide eyed, unresistant, and without a tremor; but now, at the thought of being the executioner of perhaps a thousand men, her face blanched, her limbs trembled, and her hands forgot their task and clasped together in imploration. She was the woman again, ready to plead for the lives of those she had conquered. • "My God! You wouldn't do that, would you?" she said. The old gladiator of the sea turned upon her fiercely, "Do it? Do it? I'd drop them to hell a3 quick as I would to the bottom of the Pacific if they show fight!" he responded. "We're out here to teach a lesson, and they deserve all that's coming to 'em! War is no child's game," he concluded grimly, "and the first ship that wants trouble goes down like a thunderbolt," As if to emphasize his remark, he sprang to the signal box and Issued this sanguinary order to every radioplane in the fleet, while Norma, faint and sick at heart, shut her teeth and with a look of inexpressible pain turned back to her levers. But she was spared this dreadful work. The Japanese officers and men had learned the absolute futility of resistance, and doubted the efficacy of appeal! Their one hope for life now rested in tha humanity and leniency of those who held them in thrall. It took no long chain of reasoning to conclude that an enemy who could pluck them from the seas and without visible effort, lift them more than a mile high could as readily release has hold and send them to destruction with meteorlike speed. Even were it possible to destroy those monsters which clutched them, to do so would be self-annihilation. They were ignored, cut off from those above, and divorced from the waters beneath as if they were creatures of no importance/to be treated like mere troublesome insects, exterminated or spared as their captor's whim might dictate. The glory of an easy conquest in the Philippines, the boastings which had followed the subjugation of Hawaii, the pomp and circumstance of previous conquests—all were obliterated, all erased fsom the scroll of valorous deeds b^ an action which had lasted less than an hour. And now, like beaten legionaries chained to the victor's car. they were being carried away toward the rising sun and an unknown fate.

As in any other business, one must have a liking for the work and become acquainted with all of the factors that enter into the problem. Where one succeeds another faJJs^although the environments of aaoja ilay be the same: Success ' d o W notr depend wholly on t h e kind of soil ifrr* the location or the orchard; these .are minor factors. With a young orchard the first object, after the trees are well set in soil that has had at least two years' preparation,'is'to* adopt stieh'method* of cultivation and fertilization for the land as shall give the tgee&jpoajible^ healthy growth to tk«H treas. The few years that intervene between the setting and the bearing periods are the most vital to the future productiven e s s of the orchard. During this*, period a judicious method of pruning • teust be systematically followed in, order to grow trees of the desired shape. No orchard will yield good returns unless it receives good care and attention.. . .-... . . . Clover is the apple tree!s best friend and right hand supporter. It Is the economical nitrogen . storage battery, the most essential element for the production of the tree. In any case it is much better for each individual orchardist to try his own experiments to determine what his own particular orchard needs in the way of fertilizer than to go haphazard and think that he must do just as his neighbor or some one else does. The fertilizers required on another orchard might be entirely thrown away on his own. A few years spent in a careful, judicious, manner will be the only way to reach a satisfying solution of the fertilizing problem. We writ assume that the belief is prevalent ^haf it pays1 to cultivate and spray whatever the other conditions of the orctiard^Wrty be: s#Mn erdei ?o make the fertilizer test one should treat the trees of the whole orchard alike as to all other conditions.! Th,ls is the only way to make'a satisfactory test and if it is not thoroughly and accurately done the owner will be the only loser and the experiment will be a total failure. Ijt is one of the things to be deplored that the average farmer does not try to use his own individuality in-his business, but is willing to follow the same methods from year to year that he has learned from those who went before. These tail-end methods are not successful and'never will be. The business methods of a decade past could never succeed under the present system. If not in business why should they in farming? The present generation has every opportunity for advancing over the one just passed. HOIMK O R O U N M . i»k. . r lav* • Lawn.

In ordering trees do not select those «fcat sure too large, because. it has been found that the best success has been secured -with smaller trees, especially with conifers.' All plants, to insure the best success, should be transplant*!- 'during the dormant season, ac&jwhile they can be set out in the f a f T ^ r winter, spring planting is prefe%hlej\ writes write*: J. £ .

Plant the shruba and ornamentals in front of the 'trees, also near the house, to soften the outlines, und^ in the sharp angles made by the walks or beds. To' prevent shading of shrubs and ornamentals they should not be planted too cldse to the trees. When flowers are planted they should be placed in front of the shrubs to finish the background. tti is not a good plan to cut up the Jawn in front of the house by trees or shrubs; a few small groups of shrubs planted in the proper places will break the monotonous outlines of the lawn. After planting the plants they should receive good care and attention. Plenty of water must be supplied to them, either naturally or artificially. The soil should never, be allowed to become dry. The time to irrigate Van-be'-determined fc# examining the soil. If the soil around the plants cracks open'too soon after Irrigating, the cracks should be closed by fiilllng with soil or tamping it down. This should be done until the trees or plants are established. Pruning the trees and shrubs should be practiced only when necessary. Plants should be pruned ta give them form, to remove extra growth and dead branches, t h e natural form of the trees, shrubs and ornamentals should be preserved as much as possible. Limbs removed should be cut 4©ff close to the trunk to Insure quick healing of the wound.

Judge Anderson Instructed the Jury to Return a Vardjot of Not QuiUy and Case Ends. Judge Anderson decided to Instruct the jury in the Standard Oil I2&.000, 000 case to find- the company not •guilty. The decision of the court was an nounced at the close of the long argil ment by Assistant District Attorney iVilkerson, and the jury was immediately summoned and instructed to return a verdict of not guilty. ~~~ This means that ail h u t two of the pending Indictments against t h e Standard Oil Co. of Indiana are void and win be abandoned by t h e government. The two cases not affected by the decision are cases involving the shipment of 1,915 carloads of oil from Whiting, Ind\, to EvansvMe, Ind., via Doltdn Junction, over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad. T h e r e is absolutely nothing on which a conviction in this case could stand, before any court in thht country," the court said in concluding his charge to the Jurors.

I made it by sawing an o i l b a r r e l In t w o a s s h o w n and mounting it on legs, writes a correspondent in Farm and Home. I painted it in nice shape and set one-half of the barrel on each side of the walk and used them for growing flowers in during the summer. They are very pretty. The Latter ts Necessary to the Profitable Raising of the Former. I have given up the idea nf trying to grow hoss and dairy cows sepaarately. If I am to raise hogs I have settled down to the conviction that. I must, have a cow or cows to help raise food for the pigs, and if I am going to keep cows for the purpose of making butter F must keep hogs and pigs to consume the milk. I have a good herd of dairy cows and a number of sows that produce me litters every year. I have not. paid mirch attention to raising fall When the cow's udder is caked or feverish, bathing it with her own warm milk is good. my pork and butter a long ways to market, and not feel it so much as I would to pay high prices for the feed I give my hogs and my cows. The cows are the only means that I know of by which the roughage on the farm can he made good feed for the young pigs and the growing young hogs. When the pastures get short in late summer the hogs are already hair grown and are gathering a larg* part, of their own feed. The cow is not then so much needed, but still the skimmtlk helps out the ration of corn that. I begin to feed as soon as I wish to supplement the pasturage and skimmilk. pigs, for my barns are not suited for 1 find,' too, that it pays to feed skimit; but I raise several litters of spring! milk right through the fattening period, a s the hogs make a better growth on earn and milk and pasturage than they do on corn alone or even on the corn and pasturage. I have an opinion that this good feed helps to keep the hogs growing steadily from their coming into the world till they go out of it. The fact that milk ia so greatly relished by hogs is a pretty good sign that i t Is^p4,jgreat nuJrltiTa value to thema vw pigs and these need milk just at the time the pastures are getting good and spring feed is abundant.. I think that, for this kind of a combination a southern location is better than a northern location. I find, too, that livtng where I have not railroad facilities 1 6 B help to this kind of work, for labor is cheaper'than elsewhere and all kinds of homeraised feedn arp cheaper.

Hall, loaoo. The hall WM UUtily decorated with gram, pink and orange bunting under the supervision of l&tn. Mary Parkw. The table decoration* were the best eveand each table held a vaae of carnations. The Menu was prepared by Mrs. Mark Allison aod it was the opinion of all that it could not be improved upon in any particular. While the guests were standing in their places at the table, E. J . Titmua offered prayer, Mrs. R. C. Smith, our Grange Lecturer, acted aa Toastini&treM and gave the "Address ul'Welcome." We were reminded thai it WIIN the pioneer farmer who fought and wim uur liberty uud spoke of the important part they have played since. She albu spokf oT llieir advancement and the Grange has been one of the organisations that have placed the farmer of today as the man of business and student of science. About SO gut'sta sat down to one of the finest dinners ever birryed in Iosco, and wtien the inner mtui was sntisiicd the program commenced with a song by the Indies trio eoujpobed of Mm. Alice Stowe, Mrs. Mary Parker and Mis» (Jlcllit Stowe. The toasiuiiatress introduced Mrs, Homer Smith who gave the toast "Bruins," she spoke of the great minda that have giveu to the world so much iu literature, science, statesmanship and art, and said there were brains enough in every community to be of help to their fellows it they only use them. The toast i'Little things" was responded to by Mr. J . O'Dell Jr. He said it was the little things '"» life that, taken together, made our great men; little acts of kindneBS that make our great philanthropists; little deeds of love ihttt make happy homes. Mrs. J . O'Dell responded to the'toast " C h a n t y . " She compared it to a garment the fashion of which never changes, and ia cut full enough to cover the unhappy and unfortunate. Some people would not harm a fly, but would pick up every piece of scandal in the community. Charity is giving kind words and deeds; and they need not be wasted as there was an opportunity to use them in every community, even in every home. She thought it charity to hold our tongues unless used for good, A solo by Mrs. R. C. Smith followed and received a hearty ensore. The toast ; Critic" was responded to by A. G. Btowe who gave the competent and honest critic a great deal of praise, as it tended to improve literature, government, music and morals; hut he didn't have much use for the so called critic who was neither competent or honest, and whose sole purpose was to injure others. "The Future Man" by Mrs. E. J . Titmus, said our forefathers courted with oxteams, but today man must have an automobile, and the future man would have a flying machine. The future man would have larger heads to accommodate the brains, and small hands and feet. She could not tell where the man would Ian 1 who was up in an air-ship when the world came to an end. "Advice" given by Mr. C. H. Hill, said we could get good advice of all kinds ou all subjects, but it was not policy to follow all of it. The fathers advice was usualy good, but the boy wanted to see the folly for himself. Mothers advice was always the best she could give, and should he heeded, but the best advice of all was the advice giveu by the lowly Nazarene, the Christ. State Lecturer, Miss Jennie Bueil, talked on ''Outlooks." She spoke of the Grange work and what it had accomplished in the past, its present work and aims, 1 and the men and wnmeii who are being edi ucatod and elevated by attending grange meetings and exchanging views. The outlook for the future was never brighter than now for the Grange work. After "listening: to the male quartet, by E. J. Titmns, G. F. Peterson, C. i, Stowe and E. M. Acker, which was tine and called for an encore, the banquet closed after spending one of the most enjoyable evening ever held in Iosco.

Not by the wordb that issue therefrom, hut by the shape and color of the Jiys, and th«t jUipu* *Ud d^wplee that gather about ihlBittiporuuit feature. He 1« supported In his theory by physiognomists, who sill endeavor To impress us with the fact that no woman with the small red- Itfcped, "Cupid-how" mouth, so praised in song and story, was ever intellectual ar generous of heart; and it is consoling to those whose mouths are not In iccotdauce with the lines or beauty 'aid dwwh by the poets to be told that i ''wide, Ktruight mouth, with strong white teeth" denotes the woman of superior intelligence, goodness of heart, strength of mind and a thousand and irne other sterling qualities, which we jyl| like to think we possess, says the New York Weekly. It is the fashion *t present to hold the lips very slighty apart. ; T h i s fs supposed'to give-that nnocent, wistful, wonderful expression which wag'tlffer" peculiar property of the heroines of old-fashioned novels, 5ut which bicy.cle riding and kindred •spodern amusements have caused to vanish. HE WENT PAYS THE - C -*+- A YOUNO MAN'S BRIGHT FUTUHC BLASTED BY A PRISON' ' SENTENOt. STATS NBWS BRIEFS, WAS SKILLED MECHANIC, f_V Secretary Straus does c o t believe In wrenching the contract* labor law out ?f its legitimate function"trf protecting American labor. He has recently admitted to the United States a Canadian girl who desired to enter a trainng school for n'urses. BecaWe all the ?lrls who take the training course are flowed a small compensation, she was \t first denied admission, as a contract laborer. The secretary remarks that training schools for nurses are among 'he most humane of educational insti 'utions, and the fact that certain work Is required as a part ol the training, and certain compensation allowed for It, does not make the student a contract laborer. , Do you chew gum? Certainly not! Why ask the unnecessary question? But then, maybe you eat starch, which a New York authority says is a grow^ Ing habit and one of the most deadly of health destroyers. At all events, young people are so nervous nowadays they must chew something, and if not gum, why then starch, which appeals to vain girls who wish to be beautiful, out it is a pernicious appetite when once contracted, Like every such habit, says the Boston Herald, it is the result of a vacant mind. Feed the mind with thoughts worth the thinking, and girls and boys will not care to be gum chewers or starch eaters. It is always gratifying to meet a person who is contented with his lot. For-that reason it would be delightful to make the acquaintance of the woman who lately had the last word in a brief suffragist controversy. The writer of a suffragist communication in a newspaper wrote, sadly, that, "woman is nothing but a female relative of a man; the man is the noun, the woman Is the preposition." "Well, what,do I care?" was the triumphant retort. "The preposition governs the noun." Among recently elected members to Phi Beta Kappa, the society of picked scholars, is a Harvard student named Tien Tin Chan of Tientsin, China. Two Chinese, Mr. Wen and Mr. Chen, graduate this month from West Point, where they have been, in a sense, guests of the United States. The students who are to come to America as beneficiaries of the returned "Boxer indemnity" fund will find that their countrymen have set them a high standard in American colleges. •M i ; .

William Miley, aged !J4, who was sentenced to serve 15 years in the Michigan state prison for robbing .the postoflice at Hillsdale, is the soil of a well-known Indianapolis famriy. u H e is also the inventor of a' continuous rail device for use on railroads and interurban lines, which his family values at $150,uUU. Since- he waa a small boy, William Miley has em* ployed his leisure hours working with different sorts of mechanical devices. He has patented a number of minor inventions, but his continuous rail device on which he obtained patent papers one year ago last month, is the most valuable. Mrs. Miley, the young man's mother, stated that she was in possession of a cigarmaking machine which her sou completed recently, and for which she intends* to ask patttUtij, When seen at the home of her daughter Mrs. Miley said that her son had never been in trouble before. She declared that he had always been industrious, and that he had no bad habits that she knew of. Knowledge of his arrest in Michigan came as a surprise. It is thought she is sufficiently recovered to prevent her condition being made worse on account of the news of his sentence. Miley is by trade a cigarmaker. He worked for a number of years at that trade. Homer Giddiaga, of Hasting*, w i t convicted.-ef selling liquor to Indiana. He wiJ^he aeajLenceU-lat^r^ .< ...

The battle of the drys and wets in Michigan Is on in earnest for the control of the counties where the liquor question will be submitted next month. The counties irr which the great fight will be pulled off a r e : Allegan, Berrien, Calhoun, Charlevoix, Dickinson, Jackson, Genesee, Washteuaw, Eaton, Alcona, Benzie, Branch, Clare. Emmet, Hillsdale", Huron, Ionia, Iosco, Isabella, Kalkas ka, Lapeer, Livingstone, Mecosia. Monroe, Newaygo, Ottawu,. Sanilac and Tuscola. In many counties—in fact, practically all of'them—the result is-going to be very close, according to the best information available, it is very hard to obtain a definite line on the counties, because both sides are claiming victory by overwhelming figures, Allegan was dry, but went wet two years ago, and is very likely to remain wet, the principal argument being that feaugatuck, which is a big summer resort center, openly violated the law under tho dry regime and conditions were worse than with the saloons operating under a tax. This same argument is being used with effect in Berrien county, where both Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are resort towns. South Haven, which is in Van Buren, supposedly dry, is tho horrible example held, up. The biggest fights of all are being made in Jackson, Washtenaw and Genesee. In the first and last of the trio are big cities, Jackson and Flint, and it is a warrior dry indeed who is willing to stake much that prohibition could over be enforced in eiiher of these cities. Refused Renewal of License. Thirty Michigan branches and 2,.">00 Michigan members, of whom upward of 1,000 are residents of Detroit, are affected by a decision of State Insurance Commissioner James V. Barry to refuse renewal of the license under which the Catholic Knights and Ladies of America fraternal insurance society is doing business in Michigan. Notice of the commissioner's ruling has been forwarded to tho supreme president, of the order, and any attempt on its part to secure new business will be expressly against his injunction. The reason assigned by Commissioner Barry in refusing to renew the society's license is that as yet no satisfactory explanation has been made his department for the treatment accorded Mrs. Catherine A. Tattan, a widow of Detroit, formerly flrRt. vice-president of branch No. 148. /Flofld Fuller, who .was acquitted re i vf A c w i p e u p n M T W E « W T D I ? « rently of' the charge o£ attempting to ^ X - A ^ n a b IJICUXVI I r l t W 1 K 1 « > The Ice Harvest.

Row, of Lansing, first insurance commissioner of Michigan, and prominent in state insurance circles for many years, died Wednesday morning, aged 69 years. His death was due to paralysis, from which he had suffered for several weeks. After repeated threats to end his life, Michael S'chelf, 83, of Grand Rap ids, was found hanging in his wood shed.

The glory of youth, the Inspiration of patriotism, and the determination of fearleastress were blended in their light and exultantly waiting the battle call. Accustomed as he was to the terrible intoxication of fierce conflict, the gray old admiral felt himself enthused by this slip of a girl. He was a man making the last fight of his life with the incarnation of the Goddess of War at his elbow and mutely cheering h i » on to the charge.

Now in hopeless impotence the men on the deck ftf,the, doomj^i I^o lost their heads and ran frantically to and fro. Up to the very.laet, one or two «f the.4iua crew* elev#ted.and firedrelevated and fired—with methodical precisian like men in a trance and aetaated by hawrtonly.

Even the storm of fire {rom, the. other ships had ceased. Norma alone seemed endowed with power of movement, and sprang Quickly from lever to lever and switch to switch, issuing her battle cry. "The dynamos! The dynamos!" she called. "Full speed, and stand clear for fear of accident! I've thrown the magnet currents! Quick! all your power before others can train a gun on us!" Her voice was sharp and decisive, end her words snapped like lashes, driving them to action. "Steady, steady!'' With almost the instantaneouaaess of its stop, the radioplane shivered and throbbed with increased energy.

There, erect, triumphant, and fierce, stood the woman glorified who was striking the first blow for her country's honor and her father's exaltation. She was fairly hurling the machine through space, her hands grasping the levers of descent and; her eyes on the periscope which portrayed the position of their helpless victims. Bavins, in a fury of excitement, shouted U s approval with storms of oaths, completely swept out of himself oy the fierceness of the assault "Good, the darting hawk would have had more chance than they before this onslaught. This gigantic embodiment of doom was leaping down upon them with su*ch terrific velocity and at such an angle of flight as to preclude all possibility of defense. Irresistible, implacable, and noiseless, it was plunging for the final thrust. Its very method of attack was so surprising and so unexpected that, they were awed with fear, helpless, benumbed, despairing and conquered. They were men done to death and suffering the agonies of wounds before the blow had fallen. It was all accomplished with such rapidity that not even the most terrified had time to rush to the rails and throw himself into the sea. When the instant of death seemed imminent, they were paralyzed into inaction and cowered together, waiting for the shock of annihilation. And their suspense, although of a different nature, was scarcely more keen and heartbreaking than that of those in the radioplane which was hurtling at them. The admiral was still crouching like a man prepared for a blow, when Norma with quick energy tilted over another lever and checked the descent. Those within the shell felt, their hearts come back to the normal and were once more able to breathe freely. It was like the application of a powerful brake to a falling elevator, save that there was no abrupt jar, no discordant sound of steel on steel, and no shock of friction. Norma quivered like a race horse under a cruel whip, then steadied itself, seemed to gather its forces together, gave one mighty lift, and began to ascend. The frightened cries from without subsided in stupefaction. The fighting admiral with clenched fists was running the length of the radioplane, staring through the lower ports, and hoarsely voicing his exultation, hiB eyes flaming with the joy of victory. Out on the sluggish waves which had now changed to a coldly gleaming gray the other vessels of the Japanese fleet witnessed the beginnings of catastrophe. They had seen this incredibly monstrous thing drop from ether upon their flagship, crumple its upper works like paper, attach itself to the turrets, and then with phenomenal power actually lift from t i e ocean 20,000 tons of steel—a floating fortress believed but an hour ago to be invincible—and bear it away. Even as they watched they saw this strange god which had grasped the pride of Japan in his clutch deliberately shaping his flight higher and higher into the great void of the heavens and passing out of their world. Of what use were guns against these strange visitants, whose only human mark was the flag of the despised enemy? In hopeless screams of terror their sirens awoke the echoes with weird, despairing wails, and their engines under full speed sent the screws lashing through the water ia a last desperate effort to escape kf waves the superstitious,, sailers t e es ancestors, and prostrated themselves M r \i\$ in fpee^'tpieva** seizure was Ineffectual. 3 •$*?*., * s , the- Mfi, f held f ^ k by the Norma, was becoming a spejk agalntst the disk of the moaning sky, a n t ^ i r of those strange creatures made a scarcely less abrupt descent upon the Kasbima.VStacka and.masts -went down with a crash as had those others. The great wiagies* terror jticfeed her up into the air before b,er enginea could be stopped, ajaq,, with her scrtsw beating the atmosphere like the flutteriug Huts of a fish captured by a marauding eagle, sailed off with her Into the blue above. Once moro they tripd the effect of gunnery, when the Katori was threateuv4;' but it was futile, and, reading *heir doom, they w.aited their turn. It was .not long, in coming; for s e w by twos and threes they were t#rn train the ocean and lifted ajgft. The colliers were the last to'saccumb, and their crews, realizing that the bulhi alone would come in contact with the implacable demon* above, ran screaming below decks to continue their supplications to the deaf gods who had deserted them. From the thick glass of his port the admiral looked down upon his conquered foemen and watched the precision with which his orders were being obeyed. Each time a victim was. seized he shouted: "Three's done her work!" or "Good boy, Seven! You've got him!" and so on enumerating each success. Some movement on the deck of the I to close at hand arrested his attention. His brows came together again In a fierce scowl. "Stand by the magnet levers, Miss Norma," he commanded, "because of these fellows below mean to show the least resistance whatever, we'll drop 'em!" - She had been standing serenely in her hood, her head thrown back, reveling in the glories of triumph. When the fate of the battle had hung upon her performance, and when her own life was threatened, she had thrown herself body and soul into the fray, wide eyed, unresistant, and without a tremor; but now, at the thought of being the executioner of perhaps a thousand men, her face blanched, her limbs trembled, and her hands forgot their task and clasped together in imploration. She was the woman again, ready to plead for the lives of those she had conquered. • "My God! You wouldn't do that, would you?" she said. The old gladiator of the sea turned upon her fiercely, "Do it? Do it? I'd drop them to hell a3 quick as I would to the bottom of the Pacific if they show fight!" he responded. "We're out here to teach a lesson, and they deserve all that's coming to 'em! War is no child's game," he concluded grimly, "and the first ship that wants trouble goes down like a thunderbolt," As if to emphasize his remark, he sprang to the signal box and Issued this sanguinary order to every radioplane in the fleet, while Norma, faint and sick at heart, shut her teeth and with a look of inexpressible pain turned back to her levers. But she was spared this dreadful work. The Japanese officers and men had learned the absolute futility of resistance, and doubted the efficacy of appeal! Their one hope for life now rested in tha humanity and leniency of those who held them in thrall. It took no long chain of reasoning to conclude that an enemy who could pluck them from the seas and without visible effort, lift them more than a mile high could as readily release has hold and send them to destruction with meteorlike speed. Even were it possible to destroy those monsters which clutched them, to do so would be self-annihilation. They were ignored, cut off from those above, and divorced from the waters beneath as if they were creatures of no importance/to be treated like mere troublesome insects, exterminated or spared as their captor's whim might dictate. The glory of an easy conquest in the Philippines, the boastings which had followed the subjugation of Hawaii, the pomp and circumstance of previous conquests—all were obliterated, all erased fsom the scroll of valorous deeds b^ an action which had lasted less than an hour. And now, like beaten legionaries chained to the victor's car. they were being carried away toward the rising sun and an unknown fate.

As in any other business, one must have a liking for the work and become acquainted with all of the factors that enter into the problem. Where one succeeds another faJJs^although the environments of aaoja ilay be the same: Success ' d o W notr depend wholly on t h e kind of soil ifrr* the location or the orchard; these .are minor factors. With a young orchard the first object, after the trees are well set in soil that has had at least two years' preparation,'is'to* adopt stieh'method* of cultivation and fertilization for the land as shall give the tgee&jpoajible^ healthy growth to tk«H treas. The few years that intervene between the setting and the bearing periods are the most vital to the future productiven e s s of the orchard. During this*, period a judicious method of pruning • teust be systematically followed in, order to grow trees of the desired shape. No orchard will yield good returns unless it receives good care and attention.. . .-... . . . Clover is the apple tree!s best friend and right hand supporter. It Is the economical nitrogen . storage battery, the most essential element for the production of the tree. In any case it is much better for each individual orchardist to try his own experiments to determine what his own particular orchard needs in the way of fertilizer than to go haphazard and think that he must do just as his neighbor or some one else does. The fertilizers required on another orchard might be entirely thrown away on his own. A few years spent in a careful, judicious, manner will be the only way to reach a satisfying solution of the fertilizing problem. We writ assume that the belief is prevalent ^haf it pays1 to cultivate and spray whatever the other conditions of the orctiard^Wrty be: s#Mn erdei ?o make the fertilizer test one should treat the trees of the whole orchard alike as to all other conditions.! Th,ls is the only way to make'a satisfactory test and if it is not thoroughly and accurately done the owner will be the only loser and the experiment will be a total failure. Ijt is one of the things to be deplored that the average farmer does not try to use his own individuality in-his business, but is willing to follow the same methods from year to year that he has learned from those who went before. These tail-end methods are not successful and'never will be. The business methods of a decade past could never succeed under the present system. If not in business why should they in farming? The present generation has every opportunity for advancing over the one just passed. HOIMK O R O U N M . i»k. . r lav* • Lawn.

To' prevent shading of shrubs and ornamentals they should not be planted too cldse to the trees. When flowers are planted they should be placed in front of the shrubs to finish the background. tti is not a good plan to cut up the Jawn in front of the house by trees or shrubs; a few small groups of shrubs planted in the proper places will break the monotonous outlines of the lawn.

If the soil around the plants cracks open'too soon after Irrigating, the cracks should be closed by fiilllng with soil or tamping it down.

Plants should be pruned ta give them form, to remove extra growth and dead branches, t h e natural form of the trees, shrubs and ornamentals should be preserved as much as possible.

The decision of the court was an nounced at the close of the long argil ment by Assistant District Attorney iVilkerson, and the jury was immediately summoned and instructed to return a verdict of not guilty. ~~~ This means that ail h u t two of the pending Indictments against t h e Standard Oil Co. of Indiana are void and win be abandoned by t h e government.

I made it by sawing an o i l b a r r e l In t w o a s s h o w n and mounting it on legs, writes a correspondent in Farm and Home. I painted it in nice shape and set one-half of the barrel on each side of the walk and used them for growing flowers in during the summer. They are very pretty. The Latter ts Necessary to the Profitable Raising of the Former. I have given up the idea nf trying to grow hoss and dairy cows sepaarately. If I am to raise hogs I have settled down to the conviction that. I must, have a cow or cows to help raise food for the pigs, and if I am going to keep cows for the purpose of making butter F must keep hogs and pigs to consume the milk. I have a good herd of dairy cows and a number of sows that produce me litters every year. I have not. paid mirch attention to raising fall When the cow's udder is caked or feverish, bathing it with her own warm milk is good. my pork and butter a long ways to market, and not feel it so much as I would to pay high prices for the feed I give my hogs and my cows. The cows are the only means that I know of by which the roughage on the farm can he made good feed for the young pigs and the growing young hogs. When the pastures get short in late summer the hogs are already hair grown and are gathering a larg* part, of their own feed. The cow is not then so much needed, but still the skimmtlk helps out the ration of corn that. I begin to feed as soon as I wish to supplement the pasturage and skimmilk. pigs, for my barns are not suited for 1 find,' too, that it pays to feed skimit; but I raise several litters of spring! milk right through the fattening period, a s the hogs make a better growth on earn and milk and pasturage than they do on corn alone or even on the corn and pasturage. I have an opinion that this good feed helps to keep the hogs growing steadily from their coming into the world till they go out of it. The fact that milk ia so greatly relished by hogs is a pretty good sign that i t Is^p4,jgreat nuJrltiTa value to thema vw pigs and these need milk just at the time the pastures are getting good and spring feed is abundant.. I think that, for this kind of a combination a southern location is better than a northern location. I find, too, that livtng where I have not railroad facilities 1 6 B help to this kind of work, for labor is cheaper'than elsewhere and all kinds of homeraised feedn arp cheaper.

Hall, loaoo. The hall WM UUtily decorated with gram, pink and orange bunting under the supervision of l&tn. Mary Parkw. The table decoration* were the best eveand each table held a vaae of carnations. The Menu was prepared by Mrs. Mark Allison aod it was the opinion of all that it could not be improved upon in any particular. While the guests were standing in their places at the table, E. J . Titmua offered prayer, Mrs. R. C. Smith, our Grange Lecturer, acted aa Toastini&treM and gave the "Address ul'Welcome." We were reminded thai it WIIN the pioneer farmer who fought and wim uur liberty uud spoke of the important part they have played since. She albu spokf oT llieir advancement and the Grange has been one of the organisations that have placed the farmer of today as the man of business and student of science. About SO gut'sta sat down to one of the finest dinners ever birryed in Iosco, and wtien the inner mtui was sntisiicd the program commenced with a song by the Indies trio eoujpobed of Mm. Alice Stowe, Mrs. Mary Parker and Mis» (Jlcllit Stowe. The toasiuiiatress introduced Mrs, Homer Smith who gave the toast "Bruins," she spoke of the great minda that have giveu to the world so much iu literature, science, statesmanship and art, and said there were brains enough in every community to be of help to their fellows it they only use them. The toast i'Little things" was responded to by Mr. J . O'Dell Jr. He said it was the little things '"» life that, taken together, made our great men; little acts of kindneBS that make our great philanthropists; little deeds of love ihttt make happy homes. Mrs. J . O'Dell responded to the'toast " C h a n t y . " She compared it to a garment the fashion of which never changes, and ia cut full enough to cover the unhappy and unfortunate. Some people would not harm a fly, but would pick up every piece of scandal in the community. Charity is giving kind words and deeds; and they need not be wasted as there was an opportunity to use them in every community, even in every home. She thought it charity to hold our tongues unless used for good, A solo by Mrs. R. C. Smith followed and received a hearty ensore. The toast ; Critic" was responded to by A. G. Btowe who gave the competent and honest critic a great deal of praise, as it tended to improve literature, government, music and morals; hut he didn't have much use for the so called critic who was neither competent or honest, and whose sole purpose was to injure others. "The Future Man" by Mrs. E. J . Titmus, said our forefathers courted with oxteams, but today man must have an automobile, and the future man would have a flying machine. The future man would have larger heads to accommodate the brains, and small hands and feet. She could not tell where the man would Ian 1 who was up in an air-ship when the world came to an end. "Advice" given by Mr. C. H. Hill, said we could get good advice of all kinds ou all subjects, but it was not policy to follow all of it. The fathers advice was usualy good, but the boy wanted to see the folly for himself. Mothers advice was always the best she could give, and should he heeded, but the best advice of all was the advice giveu by the lowly Nazarene, the Christ. State Lecturer, Miss Jennie Bueil, talked on ''Outlooks." She spoke of the Grange work and what it had accomplished in the past, its present work and aims, 1 and the men and wnmeii who are being edi ucatod and elevated by attending grange meetings and exchanging views. The outlook for the future was never brighter than now for the Grange work. After "listening: to the male quartet, by E. J. Titmns, G. F. Peterson, C. i, Stowe and E. M.

Are there no public libraries, no Carnegies in Australia? For w h a t do you suppose is the very choicest novelty for an Australian? Nothing more nor less than "a literary lounge," a book arcade, "where everybody Is welcome." Plenty of chairs, the reading of a million books on the shelves, string band playing in the afternoon and evening, and light refreshments on hand! The idea may well tickle the bookworm who browses in small, stuffy bookshops or is absorbed into the British museum, but it sounds queer to all who possess Carnegie libraries galore; while as to the Boston citizen, he simply pities anybody who hasn't a card to "his public library."

The grand jury investigating t h e Armstrong wardenahlp of ihe Michigan state prison Friday morning divided its time among the doings in the warden's residence, the halt ttd which the saate board of corrections and charities brought him in his punishment of prisoners and the workings of the s t a t e pardoa board. Ex-Convict Peter Lamarind, Convict Benjamin and Convict Smith, all of whom worked in the prison residence, testified that boxes were packed with chickens, eggs, extract of beef, canned' goods, bottled delicacies and other fancy groceries bought from Carlton & Windt and shipped to Armstrong's daughter after she took up her residence in South Bend. Smith is the colored cook of the prison household. He said: "The old njan came out to m e after this affair had blown up and said: 'Well, Smith, they've got me falling. I'm going to fall hard. But I'm a —— if I'll drag anybody down with me.' "The Saturday night the old man was arrested he and his wife walked the floor all night. Mrs. Armstrong drank nine cups of clear black coffee so fast that I began to think I'd need a bicycle to get "em to her quick enough. One day a little while after that she came out into the kitchen and danced a regular barn dance, best hoedown I've ever seen since I came from the south. She had heard nomc good or other." "The missus is the one with the brains in that family. She knows more in a minute than Armstrong will all his life." Dr. Dayton Parker, member of the state board of corrections and charities, was asked about the irvestigation made by the board into methods of punishment imposed at the prison and the subsequent order abolishing the cruelest form of it. "When we were considering the plans which Armstrong had framed up and asked an appropriation of $200,000 for the new cell block and other improvements," said Dr. Parker, "we struck on the head which finally developed our order for the abolition of the so-called stringing up punishment." "'Let's see your punishment cells,' we said to the warden. "'They are filled today,' he replied. " ' S o much the better, that's just when we want to see them.' " 'Then you will have to see the deputy warden,' he said. "We did, and found that Armstrong had ordered men handcuffed with their hands manacled behind them and then strung up with chains to the sides or doors of their cells. The little doctor, Dr, Pray, told us that he had to stand over the men and watch to see that they were not punished past the limit of human endurance. "We called Armstrong in. and he defended (he procedure, He said he considered it conducive to discipline. We pointed out that solitary confinement or a good spanking would do more; that this sort of thing was cruel, and further that it defeated the very end he aimed al—it made each convict in punishment think he was a martyr, and encouraged him to hold out as long as possible. Then we ordered the warden to discontinue it." "Did you hear that, he got the idea for it f ^ m the Detroit house of correction?^ Dr. Parker was asked. "Well, he claimed that, but I hardly think the claim correct. We never investigated the house of correction on that point. We trust Supt. McDonnell. I think he just shoves a man into a dark cell and leaves him there to think it over." Opponents of vivisection are not likely to find serious fault with the I phase in which it presented itself at.

The 8pring Elections. There is absolutely no general interest in the approaching spring election, and if it. were not for the local option fights in a number of the counties, the vote would probably be the smallest cast in ihe state in many years. There is no discussion on the state ticket at the capital. In the counties where the liquor question Is to be voted on, there is naturally a great, deal of interest, hut it is confined to the one proposition. Some of the incidents in the liquor fights are laughable. In many of the counties the Anti-Saloon league distributed cards offering a reward of $50 for any evidence which would lead to the conviction of any person offering money for a vote "against local option." This the liquor people have bettered by putting out a card making the same offer in rugard to a bribe "for or against" local option. Mark S.

NOW THE FATHER OF THE WO MAN HA8 DECIDED TO HELP IN DEFENSE. KIDNAPERS IN PA. JAIL .I0YLE15 A H D E -h~ •>\ Latest Reports About tha Boyis Woman and Her Connection With thy Whit I a Cas«. James H. Boyle and Heten Boyle, alias Faulkner, was indicted by the county grand Jury in Cleveland Thursday, charged with blackmail. The charge is based on the payment ot th€ $10,000 ranaom by James P. Wbltla for the recovery of his son, kidnaped by them. Willie Whitla late Wednesday afternoon identified the two suspects as "Mr. and Mrs. Jones," who took him from school in Sharon a week ago and kept him a prisoner in the Granger house, a first-class rooming house in Cleveland, until ransomed. Mrs. Boyle, who was the "nurse" in the Whitla kidnaping case, WRB formerly Miss Anna McDermott, aged 22, of Chicago. William McDermott, a retired member of the Chicago fire 4epartment, is her. father. When shown a full description of the woman he broke down and declared that it was his daughter. He and his family had been hoping against hope that there had been some mistake in the identification., Mr. Mc- Dermott's story of his daughaer's life is; that of a wayward girl. Anna, according to her father, was, as a child, one of the prettiest, one ot the- brightest, in the ueighborhcod. She was given every possible advantage of education and careful moral training, but as she approached womanhood" -»he fy»H into company of which the old fireman did not approve. Quarrels were frequent, and about three years ago Anna eloped. Since that time her history has been a blank to her Chicago kin. Even the name of the man with whom she cast her fortunes was unknown to them. They carefully read from day to day the story of the kidnaping of Willie Whitla, of his return to his parents, and the arrest of the "Boylesi" but vthey, never dreamed .of connecting "Mrs.' Boyle" with^ winsome, headstrvongf Anna, w,ho haft, degfceted-. her home to follow, unknqwp.jmthB.

According to the correspondent the young woman, when told that her father was in Pittsburg and had retained a lawyer to look after her interests, said: "I'm tired and sick of the whole business. There is no use denying it any longer. I am Anna McDermott and my father is William McDermott, of Chicago. "I have told many lies lately, but now I will tell you the truth. Yes, he is my father." "My early education," continued Mrs. Boyle, "was received in the public schools and later I was sent, to a convent in Wisconsin. What was its name? Well that is not necessary. My mother has been dead for several years. I really am Mrs. Boyle. WTe were married three years ago. No, we have no children, but I am very fond of little ones. "Afraid to stand trial? No. When I go on the stand and tell my story it will throw an entirely different, light on the kidnaping episode. Until then I would ask the public to withhold its judgment. I want you to correct one thing for me. In no way am I related to the Whitlas or Buhls in Sharon. "I mean to stand by my husband through this affair. T do not know what his connection with the whole dreadful thing is, but I am sure he was not the instigator of the kidnaping plot. I will not say whether ho had any knowledge or not." WIRELETS.

Frank Jones, another of the posse who £scapsd, boarded a train at Pierce and went to Checotah, bearing some details of the battle. The officers, having heard that t h e , Indtfss and negroes were again peaoe-'t able after the battle of Thursday: morning, approached the cabin of Harjo, near Hickory Ground, without fear, As they were entering the chief's yard 20 gunB were leveled upon them b y - a s many men in thehouse and around the corners. Odom and Baum fell doad and Swift was seriously w_ounded. Jones ran a few yards and hid himself in a clump of trees until the Indians disappeared. Then he hurried to Pierce. Within,,30 minutes after the report of the battle reached Checotah a hundred men were armed. Every available gun and practically all the ammunition in town were taken. In an hour 50 men were marching toward Hickory Ground. A dispatch from Checotah says that the Snake Indians have been purchasing rifles and ammunition for a month and that they a-re supplied with poWdelr and lead enough to last them two days. Harjo, who has so often within the past two years expressed his displeasure at the restraints of law and has often called his men into council on that account, ia believed to have determined to make a firm stand in behalf of his ideas of liberty.

"Vanishing Fleets," a story of "what might have bapp«ne<V opeiuj tn Wa«blogton with the united States and Japan near' war: Guy Htllter, necretary of the British embassy, and Miss Norma Roberts, chief aide of Inventor Roberta, are Introduced as lovers. Japan declares war and takes the Philippines. Guy Hllller start* for England. Norma Roberts leaves Washington for the Florida coast. Hawaii is captured by the Japs. Ail ports are closed. Tokyo learns of missing Japanese fleet and whole world becomes convinced that United States has powerful war agency. England decides to send a fleet to American waters as a Canadian protection against what the British suppose is a terrible submarine flotilla. Hllller Is sent with a message. Fleet mysteriously disappears. The kaiser is missing. King Edward of England is confronted by Admiral Be vine of the United States. The Dreadnaught, biggest of England's warskips, is discovered at an impassable poilt in the Thames. The story now goes back to a time many months* before the war breaks out, and Inventor Roberts visits the president and cabinet, telling of and exhibiting a metal production. This overcomes friction when electrified and is to be applied to vessels. A city for the manufacture of the mysterious discovery is built. The mystery of true levitatlon la solved. Roberts evolves a great, flying machine. The cabinet plans a radloplane war against Japanese. The start for the scene of conflict with a large fleet of monster airships la made with Norma in command. The Japanese fleet, believing Nippon supreme, suddenly discerns the radioplane fleet. After maneuvering the airships deseend, and by use of strong mugnets lift the airships, one by one, from the Bea. The trip to the west coast of America is then commenced. Because of a partially disabled radloplane, one of the warships is dropped into the sea after the men are transferred to another. The vessels are deposited in a mountain lake in the United States to await peacvt CHAPTER XIX—Continued. "Men," he said, "I take no credit for the result, and I'm big enough so to report to Washington. This battle brought out three heroes. Brockton, Jenkins and above all this little girl, Norma Roberts." His "God bless her!" was lost In the tumult. They were men intoxicated with the wine of victory. They yelled themselves hoarse. They patted one another on the back, hurled their caps into the air, and finally formed escorts of honor to conduct the men and officers of the fleet to their cabins, asking over and over for details of the fight. And even as those tired fighters went to rest, in a city across the continent newsboys were crying their extras through the streets, and the citlaens of a great city were asking ortb another how the night had worked its miracle. A lounging patrolman In Ravenna park, which bordered on Lake Washington, had sleepily rubbed his eyes as the svm was tinting the everlasting snows of the Olympics, and had conae to a sudden stop, leaning against a tree and wondering if he was still asleep; hut with his knuckles he could not obliterate the floatfas vision before him. He convinced himself by a lusty hail: "Hello, out there! What are you doing? Get off that lake!" and hack to him there volleyed a storm of objurgations in an unknown tongue. Not until he had called a fellow officer and rowed a boat round those fallen monarchs of the deep did he learn that they were captive to his 'country, and then, elated with the news, he hastened to impart it. But this was not the only surprise for Seattle. For* some clays preceding troops had been pouring Into the port, and it had been the general belief that they were being mobilized preparatory to embarkation for the Philippines or Ttplll Oh this morning, however, tfetra waa an exodus. Nearly all the troops had disappeared In the night. Likewise there were strange happenings in the telegraph offices. When men went to consign messages they were met with the Intelligence that t h * wires were in charge of military operators, that nothing could be received for any point beyond the borders of the United States, and that all messages without exception would be censored before transmission. The newspapers fumed and roared, until they learned that, all incoming news would pass uninterruptedly; but that for purposes known only to the government the story of the presence of the Japanese fleet would he closely guarded for the time being. For once the Post-Intelligence, the Times' and Star united in attacking the. administration. ' > « : r - . " C H A P T E R X X . What Befell the Emperor. Like a lonely rock that has withstood the fury of a storm and the battering of the seas to emerge a.galn into sunlight, the president felt his time of justification approaching. His hour of triumph was at hand, and his prayers were being answered; but the ta^k was not yet done. The unqualified victory over the Japanese fleet made the outcome of telegra£h_ communication, and the peuarttrre from the'key'Vas also under COTST of darkness. Again there was a resemblaaoe to the Japanose affair, in that the appearance of the radioplanes created surprise and consternation on the warships. Hero, however, the similarity ended The Anglo- Saxon mind knows no such thing as surrender whdn once ft la stirred to tho depths of Its'stubbornness. It can read oply two answers to the riddle of conflict—victory or death—as has been attested by many a hard-fought battle on land and sea. The armada of Great Britain had sailed with apprehensions, being fully cognisant that it was invading a territory of mystery and danger, and the vigilance of its watch, therefore, was never relaxed. The consternation caused: by the first sight of the aerial fleet was immediately followed by a hurried clearing of the decks for action, . although defeat in a battle against such overpowering odds waa a foregone conclusion. No gun was fired, however, and all stood expectantly awaiting a declaration of Intent from the monsters of the air which had come upon them lu the full glare of the afternoon sun. With slow and stately majesty the rad lop lanes . approached, each flying the flag of the United States and beneath it the emblem of truce. The Dreadnought, answering sluggishly to the swell and hurling great cascades of water from its bow, was In the heart of the formation, and in its ponderous might seemed fearless of anything afloat. Toward it the foremost radloplane directed its course, drop- The W i r e s Were in Charge of M i l i t a r y Operators. the war a certainty; hence it. was with patience that the administration waited for the next move in the far east, which must of necessity come China. There was no doubt that she would assist her ally. At first this seemed an imminent action; but. several days passed bringing through the secret service no news save that her fleet, huge and well manned, was making preparations to sail. The president, knowing that for the accomplishment of his purpose oriental power must bo broken, indulged in the fervent, hopo that the attack might come soon. There was less trouble Internally, as the people were beginning to have faith in the administration, though they were speculating ag to what course of procedure was being followed. It was while affairs were in this condition that the sailing of the British fleet was duly announced through secret, channels of information. The coterie saw before it the necessity of either abandoning the hope of teaching China a drastic lesson and announcing its Secret, to the world or meeting tho Rritish squadrons and holding them hostage in the interest of peace. Thoy chose the latter alternative, and thereby was caused the strangest, chapter in the history of war. Like that other sally outward to the western seas, this one was timely. It was made when the British fleet might Le met beyond the reach' of wireless ping steadily down until full abreast and on a level with the great fighting tops, while the officers of the battle ship watched with amazement its splendid control. Npt till then was there a visible display of life aboard it. A port opened and into the blackness of its frame Bevins emerged, while directly behind him stood the scientist, who had recovered, and was to witness the first full demonstration of the power he had evolved. On the bridge of the battle ship the British admiral stood, surrounded by staff officers. "Good afternoon, admiral," the American hailed. "Glad to see you. How do you like the looks of us?" Across Fields' face flitted a half smile. "We are very well indeed, Admiral Bevins; but can't say we are particularly glad to see you, of sure that we like you until we know more. Clever invention that. Must have been conceived by an Englishman." Behind the United States officer n withered little figure became imbued with a sudden frenzy of passion that threatened to interject an unpleasant, remark; bm i'evins checked him with a laugh and grew serious again. "Admiral," he said, "my country isn't at war with yours. You understand that." Fields looked relieved, and lost somewhat of his air of set defiance. At the head ojf his men he'erossedjo ,tht end of the bridge where ho nnr^fct be nearer thefts* jaddreaalng him. Ifce nervous straiiTot, tejo situatjop waa fcelag rapidly dfcoiaiaied. "Frankly, I'm gl*4>- to. be reaaaured," ,he , replied. "There-are a rot*f sWags, We'd rather know,*'" :f . ' - • . ; "And which \ shall he glad to sixplain if you and* a dozen of your immediate subordinates will come aboard aa my guests." The Invitation waa Immediately accepted; but it was a trying interview for the Britons. Tho machine on which they were received was the Roberts, which waa the latest production of the plant on the key. It was larger than Its predecessors, und Jjad been made tho most pretentious. It was elegantly appointed. Amidships it contained a drawing room on which the most careful workmanship had been lavished. The guests gathered round a huge mahogany table, whose polished tup reflected the light from the, colored ports of the dome, and were served with refreshments before Bevins recurred to the object of his visit. He drew from his pocket an official packet and laid it open befor him. "Gentlemen," he began, "of cou.se ywu are Interested in all that you have seen, and in the attitude of the United States. What I shall read to wou are my orders. I have come out here to meet you for the purpose, fln»t of all, that you may bear them." The Roberts had ascended to an altitude above the others of the American fleet, and was resting in mid air. It was very still, the light hum of a small dynamo from behind the partitions being the only disturber of silence. He opened the document und read: "You are instructed to intercept the British fleet and assure its ofiicers of the good will of the United States toward his majesty, King Edward VII., and all his subjects. You are to explain to them that the United States is compelled, In pursuance of its adopted policy formulated at the commencement of the war with Japan, to maintain the secret of its power until such time as It is deemed expedient to announce it to the world. You will then endeavor to induce the British fleet to surrender itself into your hands as guests of this country, assuring those in command that all damages accruing will be repaired by the United States. You are to use all due caution to avoid injury to life, property, or pride, and to transport the entire fleet to the waters of Chesapeake bay, after which for a brief period the officers and men of Great Britain will be entertained by the United States." Bevins stopped and looked into the faces confronting him, which expressed a variety of emotions, running the gamut from stolidity to wonder, and from compliance to indignation. The British admiral's visage was a frowning one. "Your country asks too much!" he said, almost explosively. "And really it volunteers no explanation of its acts or intentions." Some of his companions nodded their heads in approval. "We can't accept." Bevins reopened the parchment. "I must then read you the concluding clause," he said, and began: "It is strongly desired that there be no clash at arms; but in any e>ent you are to return with the fleet." There was brief silence in t^e room, which was broken by Fieljs, who jumped to his feet. Bevins sose, and the other officers did likewise. The situation threatened unhappy conclusions; but Bevins held up a restraining hand and went, on: "Here! Before you underestimate the force of this last clause, let me give you a demonstration of what we can do and how difficult it would be for you to offer any defense or effective resistance whatever." He turned to a speaking tube, gave a curt order and requested his visitors to look through the transparent ports, which were suddenly opened beneath their feet. The Roberts swept up into the air to such a prodigious height that, the internal pressure against her shell became terrific. Sha was at such an altitude that no mortal being could^have withstood the Arain, In great circles she descended, until the water again became visible, then the vessels upon it, and last of all the crests of the waves. Now she swooped lower, and then at a speed ot nearly 600 miles an hour whipped a straight line close above the tops of the fighting masts, slowed down, and whirled in and out, about and above the British ships as easily as would a swallow in playful flight. On the decks of the vessels men stared in wide-eyed amazement, at this demon of the air, at first, fearing that control had been lost and the lives of those aboard wore in jeopardy. Then at the splendid exhibition of speed and handling they were dumbfounded. The Roberts then rose in one quick lift until it was above the plane of altitude assumed by the Other machines, poised fur a moment, and came to a stop. In all this time no one had spoken a word. Now they turned to the American, rmloosing their convulsive clutches from the seats and liberated from the spell. tTfll BE CONTINUED.* T W O Y E A R * O F 'FREEDOM.

Insider of a week he had acquired enough "soapstone" to make slate pencils for all the children in the world the next hundred years. ^ , When Corney learned the high-collared baberdasher'B sign had been boring holes, on Killkeany Heights his blue eyes blazed wrathfully. "If that puddin' headed jude thinks he's1 goln' ter git them lota fer his shlate pincil facthry he's a bigger fool thin km looks, which be puttin' it sthrong as I know how." said Corney. He studiously avoided the mild-looking Btranger, as being a man beyond his contempt. He resolved if Van Zandt come around with a flve^dollaran- acre proposition "fer them superbs ter tell 'im plain wat I tink av *im." But one bright morning Corney saw the slate pencil man making for him, "Good morning Mr.—aw—" "Try Cadogan, aw," said Corney, surlily. "Yes, Cadogan—certainly. Deuced funny how I should—aw—forget such an easy name." "Not so viry funny; there be min wot says 'aw/ win there's nothin' ter 'aw' about. Thot's funnier." The natty tenderfoot smiled sweetly. He was evidently not overly sensitive. "Unfortunate habit of mine," he said, goodhumoredly. "You will—aw —excuse me—please pahdon me,* "Wot's yer game?" remarkedxCorney, abruptly. "I wanted to speak to you about Killkenny—aw—Highlands." "Thim's Killkenny Heights—risidence lots." "Yes, a beautiful name. I've been out there. The view is—aw—chawming. Such a vast reach of country— so gently rolling like the sea! And such superb air and sky, and the sunsets— on my life I never witnessed such sunsets!" Corney looked at him ra amazement and gravely shook bis head. ! "I guess they be," he said, dubiously. "I think th' sun be settin' ivery day.

"Th,' only thiug thot'll save me fr'm bein' a. grass widerer," said Corney, "Li $6,(M)0." . "I'll take it." Corney's blue eyes popped open wide. The slate pencil man suddenly became an object ot real, interest. "Does yez mane fhot?" • "Indeed I do, and I will write you a check soon as you sign the deed." "Thin I wants ter say ter yez thot I'm downright sorry I called y e i a jude. Yez be th' whiteAt mon I've sthruck in this miserable coyote cunthry." With the acquirement of Killkenny Heights, Van Zandt concluded his dealings at Royal Capital, and the cat jumped out of the bag. He was the representative of a large concern, and had been sent west to secure new fields. The rock around Royal Capital was specially adapted for the purpose, and its purchase for an almost nominal consideration meant a fortune to the big company, which soon established works out there, and gave employment to so many men that Royal Capital forgave the job put up on it by the smooth visitor from West Virginia. Corney and Van Zandt returned east on the same train, and while enjoying their pipe and cigarette; -respectively, one afternoon, Van Zandt asked a question which had long been puz- .zling hfin; , "Coifney, how was it that you were the only man out there who knew it was,cement rock?" "Bliss'yer soul," said Narah's man; 'Tnever dreamt it till yez told me." "But you said 'there's a fine lot of cement to pick over out there.' " Corney smoked reflectively for a few moments, then his moonface broke into a broad grin. "Yez didn't quite cotch me waning,"' he said. "Narah, my wife thot is, lives on th' coast of Jersey. I knowed If I didn't git backrIt Wouldn't quite break her heart, because there's a foine lot o' saymin ter pick from out there." "Seamen?" "YiB, sayntin, I says." !/Corney," said Van Zandt, arte* some silent meditation, "If any professor of language ever offers to smooth out that brogue of yours, you brain him on the spot. You need it to do business with." Of Painting Requirements Will Save ' Huqti Expense. ,j • When one sees the surface of a house or other ,buikHug. scaling, or peeling* or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "disease," it Is evident that a* poor painter has been on the Job, and that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter had been dominated by a property-otyner who knew nothing about paint It is an easy matter to be Informed on paint and painting. A complete painting guide, including a book of color schemes, eltb«ex for exterior or interior—specifications for all kinds of painrTug,—and an instrument for detecting adulteration in paint material, with directions for using it, may be had free by writing National Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg., New York City, and asking for Houseowner's Painting Outfit >f6. 49. Then, every houseowner should make it, a point to get only wellknown reliable brands in buying his materiaJs. Pure white lead is especially important* or the paint will not prove satisfactory. The famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark ot National Lead Company, the largest makers of pure white lead, is an absolute guarantee of the purity and quality of the white lead sold under it. ;Tkat trademark is a safeguard against paint trouble.

Hartford Insurance Man Has an Unusual Experience. Hartford, Conn.—Though nobody ever accused William A. Moore, first vice-president of the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance Company, of beifcg a spiritualist or a member of any of those kindred cnlts, nevertheless Mr. Moore's former incredulity is staggering under a remarkable psychological vision and a weird conversation which he thinks he had at. the moment that his friend Richard P. Romaine, president and general manager of the Windsor Locks Paper Company, died recently. Mr. Moore is vainly seeking an explanation of the marvelous phenomenon. Just before closing time Mr. Moore, having signed h i s mail, w a s dozing on a couch in his private office, when he was suddenly aware of a familiar voice calling appealfngly: "Will! Will!" • -, "Who is it?" he asked. "It's I, Romaine," cfcrne t h e reply, in short accents. Bewildered, Mr. Moore shook himself together and searched his office, and then, bursting open the door into the main office, had the telephone operator hurry a call to the Romaine home. When he asked for Mrs. Romaine h e w a s told tHiit sho could not answer just then, and ho inquired how Mr. Romaine was getting along. "He died about : t w o minute* ago," replied t h e maid.

His auditors were deeply stirred aa lie pleaded. "The money of the saloon is tainted money, tainted with crime, tainted with sin, tainted with corruption, yes, covered with the blood of ioimoratl souls," he said. "There are many meu in this city engaged in the saloon busiuess who are nauseated with its evils. They are bound hand and foot but they cannot break away from it, though willing to give all they possess for the opportunity of making an honest living. "Among the enemies of the saloOo in this city are the men whose shop doors are closed on Suuday while others are allowed to be open, but the most powerful of its foes are the home, the family, tlxe child. If you could hear the prayers that are going up to God from little children the next ten days for the abolition of the saloon and asking to be rescued fn a the great curse of liquor; if you could hear them pleading with Christ, if a little one would take you by the hand, look into your face and say'-Won't you help me just a little?" where is the man who would turn away? "Won't you help these little one* by your votes? There is coming a day either of salvation or damnation for the children. What will you men do? Here, in the name of Jesus Christ, whose humble Shepherd I am, with all my heart, with all soul, for the little ones who cannot talk to yon themselves, I implore you not to bind the saloon evil to their necks again." — Michigan Catholic.
