The total of the three crop* is placed ^ more by 115,000,000 t .an in any previous year in its history, and obviously tbat is a showing to be proud of. But singularly enough along with this proud showing the census bureau comes forward with the depressing information that the baby crop In Kansas has fallen off In the same- year, says Manchester Union. There were 25,980 babies born in Kansas in the fiscal year 1907, and only 23,850 in the fiscal year 1908. Of course the first question that presents Itself is what the fiscal future of a year has to do with such a matter anyway. Tet It is obvious that one must start from somewhere In such computations, and perhaps the beginning and end of the fiscal year are as good point* as any. The thought that is sure to suggest itself is, were the Kansas farmers so busy planting their big crops of wheat, corn and oats that they overlooked the graver problem of population? I'll* w • s vl?i. ti * ' •Urn m • w ^ > > t f M ' i ' i )>"iS'i »>""' ' »"%* The cerulean "sky-piece" has made its jaunty appearance in our midst. Time was when a man attired himself only in sober hues, as befitted his dig: r»ity and importance, says Washington Herald. No frivolous frolicking in fanciful garb appealed to the masculine taste. A strong reaction from the days of silken hose and brocaded, gold-laced coats and small clothes swayed the balance in favor of Puritanical and Quakerish garb of the past two generations. But man is becoming emancipated from his somber thraldom; not all at once, but gradually, as Is usually the case with great and important reforms. The necktie has long since succeeded to the inevitable, and its flamboyant brilliancy now shames the rainbow and the peacock. Masculine hosiery, too, has assumed the colors of the spectrum in weird and wonderful design. In hats we have passed the quiet black, brbwn and gray stage, apparently. The lurid college hatband was only the forerunner of the solid green hat which burst upon a startled public a year or so ago. It was a modest shade of green, to be sure, but green for all that. If a man doeBn't love his work, he would better get something else to do. Put the trouble Is that such people will hardly love any kind of work. The tiouble Is in them. They lack intelligence. If they knew enough to know good work they would soon learn to love It. The manual training scheme has this in view—to surround the job a man is doing with such Intelligence and taste as will make it attractive to him. "The man who is in love with his job gets more contentment out of life than any other," Bays Brander Matthews; and he gets a great part of his contentment In doing his work right. No man can love his work* who sh'rks. No man can he contented who is dishonest about his work. This is shirking or doing It negligently. So these things always go together—honest work, contentment and love of the job. The Farmers' National congress, In session at Raleigh. N.

Professions of interest in the farmer, inspiring desire for rural uplift, and the effort to conserve the country life of the nation might find practical expression in this postal legislation which every organisation of farmers throughout the country has indorsed, and which successive postmasters general hare approved, and which the express monopolies have been most interested In opposing.

WANTS NEW COURT CREATED Tribunal Would.. Hear Cases Arising Under the Interstate Law—Chief Executive Also Urges Federal Incorporation Statute to Suppress Abuses and Not to Destroy Legitimate Combinations of Capital. KyuuruM AUUWHiCMOn* <>T te rata*, far** »na charasa itton of jpaAaengef* and they may agree to eatab* Washington, Jan. ".—Needed legislation concerning the interstate commerce law and the control of trusts formed the subject of President Taft's spevtal message to congress. The president ta.Ua attention to the partial failure of the present commerce law to get results because of the frequent appeals from its decisions to federal courts and the slowness of the supreme court in deciding these eases. The message says: —- "It would not be proper to attempt to deprive any corporation of the right to tho review Dy a court of any order or decree which, if undisturbed, would rob it of a reasonable return upon Its Investment or would subject It to burdens which" would unjustly discriminate against it and in favor of other carriers similarly situated. What is, however, of supreme importance is that the decision of such Questions shall be as speedy as the nature of the circumstances will admit, and-that a uniformity of decision be secured so as to bring about an effective, systematic and scientific enforcement of the comerce law, rather than conflicting decisions and uncertainty of final result. » Recommends "Court of Commerce." "For this purpose I recommend the establishment of a court of the United States composed of five judges designated for such purpose from among the circuit Judges of the United States, to be known as the 'United States court of commerce,' which court shall be clothed with exclusive original Jurisdiction over the following classes of cases: "(1) All cases for the enforcement, otherwise than by ajudication and collection, of a forfeiture or penalty, or by infliction of criminal punishment, of any order of the interstate commerce commission other than for the payment of money. "(2) All cases brought to enjoin, set aside, annul or suspend any order or requirement of the interstate commerce commission. "(3) All such cases as under section 3 of the act of February 19, 1R03, known as the 'F.lktns act.' arc authorized to be maintained In a circuit court of the United States. "(4) All such mandamus proceedings as under the provisions of section 20 or section 23 of the Interstate commerce law are authorized to he maintained In a circuit court of the United States. "Reasons precisely analogous to those which induced the congress to create the court of customs appeals by the provisions In tho tariff act of August f», 1909, may be urged in support of the creation of the commerce court. "In order to provide a sufficient number of judges to enable this court to be constituted It will be necessary to authorize the appointment of five additional circuit judges, who, for the purposes of appointment, might be distributed to those circuits where there Is at the present time the largest volume of business such as the second, third, fourth, seventh and eighth circuits. The act should empower trio chief justice at any time when the business of the court of commerce does not require the services of all the judges to reassign the Judges designated to that court to the circuits to which they respectively belong; and it should alsii provide for payment to such Judges while sitting hy assignment In the court of commerce of such additional amount as Is necessary to bring their annual compensation up to 110,000. Only Second to Supreme Court. "The regular sessions of such court should be held at the capitol, hut it should be empowered to hold sessions in different parts of the United States if found deslrRble; and its orders and judgments should be made final, subject only to review by the supreme court of the United States, with the provision that the operation of the decree appealed from shall not be stayed unless the supreme court shall so order. The commerce court should be empowered in its discretion to restrain or suspend the operation of an order of the Interstate commerce commission under review pending the final hearing and determination of the proceeding, but no such restraining order should be made except upon notice and afetr hearing, unless in cases where irreparable damage wnuM otherwise ensue to the petitioner. A Judge of that court might be empowered to allow a stay of the commission's order for a period of not. more than 60 days, but pending application to the court of its order or injunction, then only where his order shall contain a specific finding based upon evidence submitted to the judge making the order and identified by reference thereto that much irreparable damage would re a, ture of the damage." "Under the existing law the Interstate commerce commission itself initiates and defends litigation in the courts for the enforcement, or in the defense of its orders and decrees, and for th's purpose it employs attorneys, who, while subject to the control of the attorney general, act upon the Initiative and under the Instructions of the. commission. This blending of administrative, legislative and Judicial functions tends, in my opinion, to Impair the efficiency of the commission by clothing it with partisan characteristics and robbing It of the impartial Judicial attitude it should occupy in passing upon questions submitted to it. In my. opinion all litigation affecting the government should be under the direct control of the department of justice; and T therefore rer.ommend that all proceedi n g affecting rmlers and decrees of the Interstate commerce commission be bronpht hy or against the UnitPd States en nomine, and be placed in charge of an assistant attorney general acting under the direction of the attorney general." Would Permit Agreement!. Coming to the subject of railroad pools and traffic agreements, the president say*: "The Republican platform of MW8 expressed the belief that the Interstate commerce law should be further amended so as to give the railroads the right to make any puhllc traffic agreement* subject to the approval of the commission, but maintaining always the principle of competition between naturally competing lines, and avoiding the common control of ettoh lines by any means the public, and especially the business whatsoever.

The president continues: "I believe these suggested modifications in and amendments to the Interstate commerce act would make It a complete and effective measure for securing reasonableness of rates and fairness ol practices in the operation of interstate railroad lines, without undue preference to any individual or class over any others. "By my direction the attorney general has drafted a bill to carry out these recommendations, which will be furnished upon request to the appropriate committee whenever It may be desired. "In addition to the foregoing amendments of the interstate commerce law, the Interstate commerce commission should be given the power, after a hearlrig, to determine upon the uniform construction of these appliances—such as sill steps, ladders, roof hand holds, running boards and hand brakes on freight cars engaged In Interstate commerce—used by the trainmen in the operation of trains,, the defects and luck of uniformity In which are apt to produce accidents and injuries to railway trainmen. The wonderful reforms effected In the number of switchmen and trainmen injured by coupling accidents, due to the enforced Introduction of safety couplers, Is u demonstration of what can be done If railroads are compelled to adopt proper safety appliances. "The question has arisen in the operations of the Interstate commerce employers' liability act, as to whether suit can be brought against the employer company in any place other than that of its home office. The right to bring the suit under this act should be as easy of enforcement as the right of a private person not in the company's employ to sue on an ordinary claim, and process In each suit should be sufficiently served if upon the station agent of the company upon whom service is authorised Is made, to bond the company in ordinary actions arising under state laws. Bills for both the foregoing purposes have been considered by the house of representatives and have been passed, and are now before the interstate commerce committee of the senate, I earnestly urge that they be enacted Into law." Control of the Trust*. The second part of the message is devoted to the control of trusts. After a lengthy discussion of trusts, good and bad, and the success of prosecutions under the Sherman anti-trust act, Mr. Taft says: "It is the duty and purpose of the executive to direct an investigation by the department of Justice, through the grand jury or otherwise, Into the history, organization, and purposes of all the industrial companies with respect to which there is any reasonable ground for suspicion that they have been organized for a purpose, and are conducting business on a plan which is In violation of the anti-trust law. The work is a heavy one, but it is not beyond the power of the department of justice, If sufficient funds are furnished, to carry on the investigations and to pay the counsel engaged in the work. But such an investigation and possible prosecution of corporations whose prosperity or destruction affects the comfort not only of stockholders but millions of wage earners, employes, and associated tradesmen must necessarily tend to disturb the confidence of the business community, to dry up the now flowing sources "of capital from Its places of hoarding, and produce a halt in our present prosperity that will cause suffering and strained circumstances among the Innocent many for faults of the guilty few. The question which I wish In this message to bring clearly to the consideration and decision of the congress whether to avoid business danger something cannot be done by which these business combinations may be offered a means, without great financial disturbance, of changing the character, organization and extent of their business into one within the lines of the law under federal control and supervision, securing compliance with the anti-trust statutes. For Government Control. "Generally, In the industrial combinations called 'trusts,' the principal business Is the sale of goods In many states and in foreign markets; in other words. the interstate and foreign • business far exceeds the business done in any one state. This fact will Justify the federal government in granting a federal charter to such a combination to make and sell in Interstate and foreign commerce the products of useful manufacture under such limitations as will secure a compliance with the anti-trust law. It Is possible so to frame a statute that while it offers protection to a federal company against harmful, vexatious and unnecessary invasion by the states, • courses before them it shall subject it to reasonable taxation and control by the states, with respect to its purely local business. "Many people conducting great businesses have cherished a hope and a belief that In some way or other a Una may be drawn between 'good trusts' and 'bad trusts,' and that it is possible by amendment to the anti-trust law to make a distinction under which good combinations may be permitted to organise, suppress competition, control prices, and oo it all legally if only they do not abuse the power by taking too great profit out of the business. They point with force to certain notorious trusts as having grown into power through criminal methods by the use of illegal rebates and plain cheating, and by various acts utterly violative of business honesty or morality, and urge the establishment of some legal line of separation by which 'criminal trusts' of this kind can be punished, and they, on the other hand, be permitted under the law to carry on their business.

Ask* National Corporation Law. "X therefore recommend the enaotmeat by oongreas of a general law providing 'for the formation of corporation* to engage in trade and commerce amoftTta* state* and with foreign nation*, protecting them from undue Interference by the stata* and regulating their activities so a* to prevent the recurrence, under national auspKes, of those abuses which have arisen under state control. «uch a law should provide for-the issue of stock of such corporation** to an amount equal only to the cash paid In oa the stock; a i d if the stock be issued for property, then at a fair valuation aacertajned under approval and supervision of federal authority after a full and complete disclosure of all the facta pertaining to the value of such property and the interest therein of the person* to whom it I* proposed to issue stock in payment of such property. It should subject the real and personal property only of such corporations to the same taxation a* imposed by the states within which it may be situated upon other similar property located therein, and it should require such corporation* to file full and complete reports of their operations with th* department of commerce and labor at regular Intervals. Corporations organised under this act should be prohibited from acquiring and holding stock In other corporations (except for special reasons upon approval by the proper federal authority), thus avoiding the creation, under national auspices, of the holding company with subordinate corporations in different state* which has been such an effective agency In the creation of the great trusts and monopolies. State Laws Conflict "If the prohibition of the anti-trust act against combinations in restraint of trade is to be effectively enforced, It is essential that the national government shall provide for the creation of national corporations to carry on a legitimate business throughout the United States. The conflicting laws of the different state* of the union with respect to foreign corporations make It difficult, if not Impossible, for one corporation to comply with their requirements so a* to carry on business in a number of different states. "To the suggestion that this proposal of federal incorporation* for industrial combinations is Intended to furnish them a refuge in which' to continue industrial business under federal protection. It should be said that the measure contenw plated does not repeal the Sherman antitrust law and is not to be framed so a* to permit the doing of the wrongs which it is the purpose of that law to prevent? but only to foster a continuance and ad-* vance of the highest Industrial efficiency without permitting industrial abuse*. "Such a national Incorporation law will be opposed, first, by those who believe that trusts Bhould be completely broken up and their property destroyed. It will be opposed, second, by those who doubt the constitutionality of such federal incorporation and even if It is valid, object to it as too great federal centralisation. It will be opposed, third, by those who will Insist that a mere voluntary Incorporation- like this will not attract to It* assistance the worst of the offenders against the anti-trust statute and who will therefore propose Instead of It a system of compulsory licenses for all federal corporations engaged In interstate business. "Let us consider these objections In their order. The government Is now trying to dissolve some of these combinations and It Is not the intention of the ?government to desist in the least degree n its effort to end these combinations which are to-day monopolising the commerce of this country; that where it appears that the acquisition and concentration of property go to the extent of creating a monopoly of substantially and directly restraining Interstate commerce, it Is not the Intention of the government to permit this monopoly to exist under federal incorporation or to transfer to the protecting wing of the federal governmea. of a state corporation now violating the Sherman act. But it is not, and should not be. the policy of the government to prevent reasonable concentration of capital which Is necessary to the economic development of manufacture, trade and commerce. . . . May Doubt Constitutionality. "Second—There are those who doubt the constitutionality of such federal Incorporation. The regulation of Interstate and foreign commerce is certainly conferred in the fullest measure upon congress, and if for the purpose of securing in the most thorough manner that kind of regulation, congress shall insist that it may provide and authorise agencies to carry on that commerce, it would seem to be within Its power, this has been distinctly affirmed with respect to railroad companies doing an Interstate business and interstate bridges. The power of incorporation ha* been exercised by congress and upheld by the supreme court fn this regard, why, then, with respect to any other form of Interstate commerce like the sale of goods across state boundaries and Into foreign countries, may the same power not be asserted? Indeed, it is the very fact that they carry on Interstate commerce that makwr these great industrial concerns subject to federal prosecution and control. How far as Incidental to the carrying on of that commerce it may be within the power of the federal government to authorise the manufacturer of goods, is perhaps more open to discussion, though a recent decision of the supreme court would seem to answer that question in the affirmative. "The third objection, that th* worst offenders will not accept federal incorporation, is easily answered. The decrees of Injunction recently adopted in prosecutions under the anti-trust law are so thorough and sweeping that the corporations affected by them have but three public, ought to rid themselves of th* Idea that such a diitlnctloa is practle- First, they must resolve themaesves Into their component parts In the different states, with a consequent loss to themselves of capital and effective organization and to the country of concentrated energy and enterprise; or second. In defiance of the law and under some secret trust they must attempt to continue their business in violation of the federal statute^and thus incur the penalties of contempt and bring on an inevitable criminal prosecution of the individuals named in the decree and their associates; or "Third, they mti«t reorganise and a c - cept in good faith the federal charter I suggest a federal compuKory license law, urged as a *ub*titute for a federal incorporation law, is unnecessary except tor- each that kind of corporation which, by virtue of the considerations already advanced, win take, advantage voluntarily state corporations doing an interstate business do^not need the supervision or 2SS&rMtbyW."S fe50,Lofu nfnwe,ecreassl aJrilSy ™bu rde»nf*i* CALI FORI 501D BY CHAW** P*U<QOT 5 ¾ ¾ ^ HIS VISIT MOST OPPORTUNE Another Osy's Delay and tha Raault Would Have Been Unfortunate —For the Physician.

It was very disagreeable to him to be ao often called away from his other cases for nothing, and he resolved to take an opportunity of letting the lady gee this. One day the lady observed a red spot on her band, and at once sent for the doctor. He came, looked at her hand, and said: z "You did well to send for me early." The lady looked alarmed and asked: "Is it dangerous, then?" "Certainly not," replied the doctor. "To-morrow the spot would have disappeared, and I should have lost my fee for this visit."

Senator Beveridge, apropos of the old-fashioned snowy Christmas, said the other day: "Snow, of course, has its disadvantages from some points of view. "'Snow is beautiful in its season.'

A lady tells of a bad case of coffee poisoning and tells it in a way so simple and straightforward that literary skill could not improve it, "I had neuralgic headaches for 12 years," she says, "and suffered untold agony. When I first began to have them I weighed 140 pounds, but they brought me down to 110. I went to many doctors and they gave me only temporary relief. So I suffered on, till one day a woman doctor told me to use Postum. She said Hooked like I was coffee poisoned. "So I began to drink Postum and I gained IS pounds in the first few weeks and continued to gain, but sot so fast as at first. My headachea began to leave me after I had used Postum about two weeks — enough to get the coffee poison o my system. "Since I began to use Postum I gladly say that I never know what neuralgic headache is like any more, and it was nothing but Postum that made me well. Before I used Postum 1 never went out alone?

A period of decided depression followed, the earlier vision of youth fa dittg swiftly as 1 realized what the message of this card plainly meant, and contemplated the social gulf yawning between myself and this woman Of the English aristocracy. A cat may look at a king, and a South American adventurer might venture to tike admiringly upon this beautiful gentlewoman, yet vaulting ambition should have a care lest it o'erleap itself. Oh, well, it was not much I had to overcome—merely an impression, a fugitive admiration which would early perish, for JC waa hardly probable we abouldaeveiuneet again, ra spite of his lordftbJp's »lff ThvlUtloTi, and her exceeding warm glance seffetfiy ^sectro'ifo* it. •"*:'••.-.'.

But a smile can leave a deeper wound than a sword, and my mind would recur, in spite of other intervening thoughts, to the pleasant mystery behind her gracious words and action. I was thus lingering over the nuts and wine, dreaming a fool's dream, and Idly wondering at the cause of that endless racket in the streets below, with the chorus of vivaa arising from the crowded plaza, when the opeit window facing my table became suddenly darkened by a burly figure. Before 1 could push back my chair, the unwelcome intruder on my privacy was politely bowing before me, one_ hand pressed upon his heart. "Pardon, senor, my so abrupt appearance"— and I gazed curiously into a round, bronzed face, guarded by closely clipped side-whiskers, and illumined by steady black eyes—"but the waiter said 1 should certainly find you alone here, and my need was most urgent. I address the Senor West?" It was the name I had assumed, and, with closely pressed lips, I bowed in ailent acknowledgment of my identity, feeling little doubt about .the man's mission. The round, rather complacent face broke into a geni§l smile of relife. "MuBt fortunate I am thus to discover you with such facility," he continued fluently, using both hands in geattculation. "Senor, it is now a grwt favor I would ask. Could you yield me the honor of a private interview in my own room?" pointing upwar" impressively.

I watched these evidences of excessive caution with considerable amusement — undoubtedly bribery of the Valparaiso tec ret pottce was considered * moat serious affair. A table occupied the center of the room, aad with a wave of his rather fat hand my mysterious companion invited me to occupy a chair beside it. The perplexity exhibited by hit troubled face caused me to smile again. "So, senor, to you it was all fun," he said, gravely, gesticulating with vtgor. "But I appreciate the danger, the peril of discovery. Everywhere lurk the spies, and what I have to say is "Sangre de Cristol But We Will Show Them What War Means!" not for other ears. Senor, I have addressed you as the Senor West, for so I was bidden; but the man I really seek is not in truth of any such name," his voice sinking to the merest whisper, as he leaned impressively toward me across the table. "It is Senor Estevan." I crossed my legs In apparently careless indifference, my fingers resting oa the butt of the revolver In my pocket, undecided yet whether this was to be war or peace, but prepared for a bold play In either case. "I am Jack Stephens; so you may proceed, senor." "Ah! Tls as I was told!" hla face brightening instantly, his hands delving within an inside pocket of his coat. "This card—see; it is written in the English—it will tell you if I be trusted, if I be all right. You know the handwriting, senor, the man who wrote it?" I accepted the bit of pasteboard curiously, it was the business card of a well-known sugar firm, and I ran my eyes hastily over the few lines dimly traced on the back: "Bearer is all he represents himself to be; you may do business with him safely.—G. P. L." 1 glanced upward at the anxious face of the man opposite; he was evidently tingling with excitement. "You know him, senor? You know the handwriting? You believe him? What is it he says? I read not the English." "Yes; we are acquainted. He It George Lor in ^, a friend of mine. He taya you are what you represent your* self to be, and that I ma£ transact business with you in perfect safety. Now, then, what are you—an agent of the police?" He shrugged his broad shoulders, spreading his hands deprecatingly. "No, no; Cielo, no! Does he not tell you my name?" I shook my head negatively, my in* terest already deeply increased. "No! He was most cautious, it was best so; but now I tell you, and yon believe." Again he ieaned forward, his voice sinking to a mere whisper. UI am Don Kmllio de Castillo."

You had perfected plana to capture and run off this Esmeralda the moment war was formally declared? You have organized a crew for tbe work, and they are waiting the word here now in Valparaiso? Their leader is suddenly stricken ill, and you have no one capable of taking his place—is that why you have come to me?" "Si, si, senor." "How did you learn about me?" "Prom Senor Lortng. He has lived in Peru. I have known him long." "But you must have other officers in your party; what of them?" He spread his hands in a gesture of utter helplessness. 'Senor, I brought with me only the one. It was not safe to bring more. Besides, what need? This Valparaiso Is a great seaport; here we may always find the scum of the seven seas; here ever are plenty of men glad enough to fight and plunder—'tis their trade. Cielo! we could enroll 100 devils In an hour along the waterfront, hell-hounds of the ocean, caring nothing for the flag above them if the pay be good." "True; and you have them ready at hand. Where are they?" "At the wine shop of Rodrigues beyond the plaza. You know the place?" I nodded, my memory Instantly recalling the foul den. "How many?" "Twenty—it is enough for a surprise, and they are sea-rats, senor." "But they are under officers?" "Of their own kind, yes, but not of our navy. The first officer Is a Yankee whaleman; the second I know not what, only he Is a deep-water sailor." "I see," I acknowledged, taking a long breath, yet continuing to stare at him. "What you need is some one able to command such an outfit, one who can operate a steamship." Like a flash the official envelope came forth again. "Si, si, and you can do that, senor. I know; I have been told. You hate this Chile; you fight her already in the hills; you hide here now for your life. I come to give you a chance to get away free. But I not stop even with that; no, no, my country not stop with that. See! here I possess the commission, all signed and sealed by my government, of a captain in the Peruvian navy. Only is the name left blank for me to write in. I write in your name; that makes you an officer of the Peruvian navy. See you what it means? Chile dare not touch you except as prisoner of war.

They come not yet, those we have bought in Europe. 'Tis that which has brought me here in disguise to Valparaiso; 'tis that which brings me now to you." I watched him closely without venturing response, and he sank into a chair, his elbows on the table. "SI, now I explain it all to you," his voice falling so low I could scarcely follow. "We know for two weeks past war was to come. • We have only a few warships, one, two, three; not enough to fight Chile, or even guard our own coast. We have thexmen sufficient, but not the ships, senor. What could I do? I, the admiral? There was but one hope^—the audacity of surprise. They must be taken from the enemy; we must strike the first blow, and at the very heart of the Chilean navy. I come here incognito; I come before war has been declared; I study and observe. To a brave man chances for action come, senor, and so I found what I sought. Yeu know about the Esmeralda, senor?" I sat up suddenly In my chair, gripping my cigar between my teeth. "The Esmeralda! You mean that steam yacht yie Chilean government purchased from Brazil?" "Si," his eyes glowing eagerly; "you are a sailor, and so would know of her. She is beautiful, strong, swift, a most dangerous vessel if well handled. Have you ever seen her, senor?" "Only through field-glasses from the balcony of the hotel. She rode at anchor well off the government mole in the roadstead the last I remember." He clasped his fingers on my arm, 5T r. • An Interesting Runaway.

The year 1909 hat not only kept pace with pr*> Tioug years la proving that this pcO Uon of the Continent it capable of producing a splendid yield of all the smaller grains, hot it hat thoroughly outstripped previous seasons. .There ie quantity, quality and price and from all parts of an area of about 320,000 square miles there comet the strong refrain of contentment and satisfaction. In the distribution of the conditions causing it no district hat been overlooked. Various et'imatea of the total yield of wheat for the country have been made, but it it not the vast total that influences the general reader so much, at what hat been done individually. The grand total—say ^30 million bushels— may have its effect on the grain price of the world; it may be interetting to know that in the world's markets the wheat crop of Canada has suddenly broken upon the trading boards, and with the Argentine, and with Russia and India, is now a factor in the making of prices. If so today, what will be ItB effect five or ten years from now, when, instead of '.here being seven million acres under crop with a total yield of 125 or 130 million bushels, there will be from 17 to 30 million acres in wheat with a yield of from 325 to 600 million bushels. When it is considered that the largest yield in the United States but slightly exceeded 700 million bushels, the greatness of these figures may be understood. Well, such is a safe forecast, for Canada has the land and it has the soil. Even today the Province of Saskatchewan, one of the three great wheat growing provinces of Canada, with 400,000 acres under wheat, produces nearly 90 million bushels, or upwards of one-tenth of the greatest yield of the United States. And Saskatchewan is yet only in the beginning of its development. As Lord Grey recently pointed out m speaking on this very subject, this year'B crop does not represent one-tenth of the soil equally fertile that is yet to be brought under the plough. Individually, reports are to hand of yields of twenty-five, thirty and thirty-five bushels to the acre. Scores of yields are reported of forty and some as high as sixty bushels. The farmer, who takes care of his soit who gets his seed-bed ready early, is certain of a splendid crop. The news of the magnificent crop yield throughout the Canadian West will be pleasing to the friends of the thousands of Americans who are residents in that country and who are vastly instrumental in the assistance they are rendering to let the world know its capabilities. There comes a moment in every man's life when he regrets his inability to kick himself. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE D A Y Take L.AXAT1VK HROMO Quinine Tablets. I>nnjglstsrefund money if it fiiils to core.

Everybody tells us that foodstuffs are exorbitantly high and when '•',% once a mouth or oftener the groc- ^ ¾ 8 kiU iR presented we are feign ' tfcfcelieve them. B. P. Parsons, manager of the Michigan Condensed Milk Oo. at Howell, had a timely article in the Eepoblican of Jan. 5, pertsiping to the milk question in this county especially. Of course the failure of the Pinckney Creamery and some of tbe causes given for that failure was the reason for the writing of the letter. We clip some portions of-the letter. He says: "In the first pjace, if milk that comes from the cow will not test three per cent butter fat the farmer ought to sell that cow at once, and the law of the state of Michigan that required three per~cent of butter fat in milk as it comes from the cow, is a wise law, and ought not to be lowered or changed in any respect. I, personally, believe that some of the farmers have watered milk—I don't think there is any question about it. This letter is not for the honest farmer, it is for the other kind, and the men whom it hits will understand it when he reads this letter. The Michigan Condensed Milk Company are willing to take the milk as it comes from the cow, but they don't believe except in very rare instances, it is possible for a cow to give milk that tests less than three per cent butter fat The reason on which we base our opinion is this: We have just had a test made from one of our Michigan factories which has about one hundred and fifty-four customers and the entire milk averaged 410 per cent of butter fat. We have just had a test made of all of our customers at the Howell factory and four hundred and two out of five hundred and two customers' milk averaged 3.41 per We cannot pay the prices we are paying for milk that tests less than three per cent. There can't any creamery or cheese factory live that buys milk that tests less than three per cent, and personally, I do not believe that there are fifty cows in Livingston county that the milk will test less than 3 per cent as it comes from the cow. We expect to do business right along if the farmers want to sell us their milk. We simply ask the farmers to comply with the laws of the State which we expect to do. We shall have to insist in the future to a test of not less than 3 per cent of butter fats, which t h e law requires and which wo must require. We shall always pay as high prices as we posBibly can for fresh milk, taking into consideration the prices for condensed milk. We want to do business in a straight forward honest way. We waut to buy milk find pay for it— we don't want to buy anything else but milk." WAS YOUR GRANDMOTHER A GOOD COOK? Fifiy years ago your Grandmother was successful in her baking In spite of many handicaps. In her day Baking Powder waft a novelty. She was glad to pay 50 penis a pound for It..

The explanation made for this interesting phenomenon is that after a cold wave a large quantity of beat Is taken from the ground in the work of chaugjng the frozen moisture into water, and thus, on the principle of the ice cream freezer, the pipe is chilled, enough heat being taken from It to freeze it.

TWO AIDES ALSO XET OUT Ledger to Dollryer Was Too Big An Offtnse»~it la BoHovodPlnehot'sAot Wss Deliberate Challenge to Chitf Executive. *«"•' 4'ter a cabinet meeting lasting nearly four hours, which ended just before 7 o'clock Friday night, PreBident Taft cauBed the announcement to be, made that he bad directed Secretary of Agriculture Wilson to dismiss Giflord Pinchot from the office -of" for ester of the agricultural department. Later on it was made known that Secretary Wilson, in accordance with a decision of the president and the cabinet, had dismissed Overton W. Price, associate forester and Mr. Plnchot's chief assistant, and Alexander C. Shaw, assistant law officer of the forest service, as well as Mr. Pinchot. The action of the president on the eve of congressional investigation into the allegations and insinuations against Secretary of the Interior Bellinger's conduct of the policy of conserving natural resources Is certain to cause a sensation. Its political effects, according to opinion here, may be far reaching. Coupled with the dismissal of Forester Pinchot was the significant action of the house of representatives lu connection with the joint resolution for an investigation of the charges affecting Secretary BalHnger. Through a combination of Democrats and Republican insurgents, aided by personal friends of Mr. Pinchot among the house membership, the house rejected that provision of the resolution which directed Speaker Cannon to choose the representative* who should sit on the congress committee of inquiry. The Cannon organization, which stood behind the resolution for an investigation, was overturned by a bare majority of three. Under the resolution as amended the house members of the joint committee of inquiry will be elected by the house itself. The decision to dismiss Messrs. Pinchot, Price and Shaw was reached at a regular session of the cabinet which was began at 11 o'clock this morning and lasted until nearly 2 o'clock. The later cabinet session, called for the special purpose, was devoted to the preparation and revision of a letter written by President Tart to Mr. Pinchot, giving the reasons why Mr. Pinchot waB to be removed from the government service. Briefly these reasons were that contrary to the instructions from Secretary Wilson, Forester Pinchot had written a letter to Senator Dolliver to be read publicly in the senate, defending Price and Shaw after they had admitted that they had inspired the magaslne and press campaign against Secretary BalHnger; that Mr. Pinchot had cast reflections in the' DoTjiver letter on the action of President Taft in directing the dismissal of Louis R. Glavis, of the public land service, the man who charged that Mr. Bellinger and other offlcers at the Interior department had been guilty of improper official conduct, in connection with the Alaska coal claims and that Mr. Pinrhot had intimated in the Dolliver letter that without the magazine and press exploitation of Price and Shaw the administration would have allowed fraudulent coal land claims in Alaska to be patented. According to President Taft. Mr. Pinchot wrote to Senator Dolliver to offset in the public mind the president's decision in the Glavis case. Mr. Pinchot in this letter paid a high tribute to. Mr. Glavis and indicated that President Taft had erred In dismissing him, and, by Inference, that Mr. Glavis' charges against Secretary BalHnger were based on proper grounds.

AHaging that it is cheaper to bar coal to fill present contracts than to operate the mint at the rat* of wages demanded by the men, the officials of the Enterprise mine at Pardoe, Pa., have closed the mine Indefinitely. Owing to a coal famine the Rock Island arsenal, employing 1.700 me*, was closed temporarily. Several cities in Iowa and western Illinois are alio facing a scarcity of coal as freight shipment is impeded by cold weather and snow. "Expert farmers wanted. Salary $1,200 per annum."

That milk at the increased price of a cents a quart will enable the large milk companies to pay dividends three times as high as the big ones of recent years is the assertion of counsel for the state in the milk Investigation in New York. The bridge spanning the Brie canal, Fort Plain, N.

George J. Gould commenced a friendly suit against his brothers and sisters for the partition of the estate left equally among them by their mother, Helen D. Gould, widow of Jay Gould, who died in 1889. The estate consists of four pieces of improved New York real estate. No official action looking to the transfer of Ambassador Baron des Planches from Washington to Constantinople is yet made known, but the transfer is not unlikely. It has long been expected tnat the ambassador's stay at Washington would be terminated early in the present year. Aram J. Pothier began his second term as governor of Rhode Island Tuesday. In his inaugural address) the governor recommended biennial sessions of the legislature, instead of annual; a better state control of foreign corporations, and state supervision of the fight against tuberculosis. Trustees of the Indiana Aati-8atoon league decided not to engage in a campaign for statutory prohibition of the liquor business in Indiana, but instead to attempt in the next session of the legislature to bring about the adoption ef a joint resolution for a prohibitory amendment to the state constitution. Thirty-four dollars and eighty-three cents is what every man, woman and child In the United States ought to have if the $3,122,154,538 which is in circulation were equally divided among them. That is the statement made by the treasury department on the basis of an estimated population of 89,644,000. The total amount of money in circulation is about $30,000,- 000 more than a year ago at this time. THE MARKETS. Cardinal Sato Hi Dead.

They are also good watchers In the poultry yards, as any unusual disturbance is soon told by the noise they make. A house 8x12 is a very convenient else for a small flock of fowls. If a large flock is to be housed two ot more small ones would be better than a very large house. The Incubator is always on the job, never has to leave the eggs for feed or water and requires less time and care than the average busy old sitting hen. ,_„ ^_„ .fey- pawssBw '2^*^^^5ri chfekeoe, turt»ye, geeee, 4 » « « U ^ f i chiokena. of course, 4belag the medf important Something Uka a Quartet of a WUloechtckaem and otae* p*$t try are o^newd m <** United StatO* every yeatv Tka c<|iatuiH*tto* ot ejgji * about19 oo»e*>rr capita* The lag* census gave ^jnt tot** <* chk raised on American farms In ISM M*t*ft»l.ftTO-«t «ft* *» Utt,tS«J Tcrday the jUaarican people oo fe CHICKEN HOUSE IS PORTABLE English Firm Making Spsclatty of Kind That Can Easily Be Moved from One Field to Another. An English firm is making a ape* dalty of this portable chicken house. designed for use on farms where it may be desired to move the chicken headquarters from field to field, says Popular Mechanics. The small Port*ble5-Hou»e. * c o o p o n the shelf near tho top Is for brooding purposes. It may be left In that position, be placed on the ground, or, in wet weather and at. night, be shoved inside the house. The box, divided into five flections, across the-.end of the house, is for nesta. Labor Cost. On the general farm, where from B0 to 300 laying hens are kept, the labor item is practically nothing; but on large poultry plants it is an important item, and, if care is not exercised, the cost of labor will eat up the profit of the business. The work must be systematized so that one man can successfully care for a large number of fowls. On one large farm which was visited two men were caring for 4 000 fowls; on another one man was caring for 2,500. A minimum number for one man would be about 1,000. Mr. Channy, who keeps about 800 fowls, is realizing a profit of about $1,200 a year, which is considerable more than many men are supporting large families with. This would naturally show us that it is more economical to keep about 1,000 hens and perform the necessary labor yourself, rather than keep a larger number and be compelled to hire outside labor. which Is often very unsatisfactory. Barred Plymouth Rook Hen. about half * billion dollars' worth of poultry and eggs per annum. Exports are increasing and one may enter on the raising of poultry and egrs with little fear of not realising godd prices on all produce. Probably 90 per cent of the farms in the United States raise poultry aa a side line; feeding ts more economical where general farming is pur* sued* Still there are manifest advantages in specialising—greater attention, knowledge and skill schleve better results. :; Poultry raising makes no great demands on strength, and any person5pt' intelligence may hope to make a success of it. But some have made the mistake of supposing that the business can be taken up on a considerable scale without any experience. Hens lay all the way from none to 2o0 eggs a year, and it takes some experience to t*U with what kind of hons and under what conditions, the upper limit can be reached. Probably She besveourse fee the iaieMsaijwultry raiser would be to 'wrsrk few a year or more on one of UiaJarge chicken ranches in order* Vt learn the important potnta^ot breeds, feeding, fattening, penning, brooding, incuba*! ng, etc. The raUln»ot broilers, re..stere and capons"fttr. thev*market may be a paying occupation on an egg farm. Squab raising is profitable provided ope secures the right kind of stock and gives the work the proper attention and management No kind of poultry is more profitable than turkeys. rhe illustration shows a Barred Plymouth Rock hen, one of the most popular breeds. Feed for Chickens. Chickens must not only have all the food that they will eat, but they must have food in which the ingredients necessary for quick growth, and egg production are abundant It takes a variety of foods to combine theae essentials and we must provide It for them. The most active hens, as a rule. are the most prolific layers, but it is not wise to carry that idea to an extreme. The Poultry. They should have almost as Important a place on the average farm as other stock, and they must have good care in the winter if they are to pay their way and make a profit besides. A variety of food and warm houses are what the poultry flock demand. Do not let them roost in trees and on fences. Any animal that Is worth keeping Is worthy of the best care and attention. Do not keep more stock that can well be cared for. Keep the best stock, give the best feed and care and they will pay a handsome profit for the time and money spent on them. »^M»l»---*-aSieSB»»S8SStSSBSBt»aSfSB*B*SS«St»B»f» Handling Oeese.

It is not only a question of feeding and watering but it is necessary to closely watch their condition, to keep their houses in repair, and to make them comfortable, and a long list of little details that dare not be neglected. Mslformed Eggs. There is something in the shape of an egg that tells the story. If it is ridgy, long and peaked, unusually large, or If it is "out ot shape," it will not tell you whether it will hatch a male or a female, but It tells a truthful story of the condition of that hen. Such eggs come only from hens that have diseased ovaries, generally caused by being in a too-fat condition. i i i « •• .a m Care of Young Pultsts. Many of the pullets hatched In March or April will soon begin to lay if they are properly cared for. The main thing is to keep them growing at a rapid rate, so that they fill at tain full alee aa early as possible. If they are permitted to go into the win* ter 4n a stunted condition they will not lay and their feed will be a dead loss.

The demand lead a nearby druggist, James Doan, to prepare it for sale. From him the magic formula passed to the present proprietors. Now, as in those early days, Doans Kidney Pills are made from only the purest drugs and are absolutely non-poisonous. They are used and praised all over the civilized world.

Sixth s t r e e t Topeka, Kansas, s a y s : " I n t h e spring of 1899 Doan's K i d n e y P i l l s brought m e s u c h great relief that I did not hesitate t o make t h e fact known and g i v e this r e m e d y my most earnest e n d o r s e m e n t In my statement I said that for three y e a r s I h a d suffered from kidney c o m p l a i n t I h a d a dull g r u m b l i n g ache aexoss t h e small of my back that greatly i n c o n v e n i e n c e d m e w h e n reaching a n d straining i n doing my work, A n annoying kidney weakness w a s also i n e v i d e n c e a n d it w a s out of the question, for m e to s l e e p w e l l In the morning I w a s a l l tired o u t a n d it c a n b e seen that I w a s in b a d shape. T h e u s e of Doan's K i d n e y Pills quickly a n d surely drove away these symptoms of kidney complaint a n d I have s i n c e b e e n i u good health. T h e foregoing statement w a s g i v e n i n March 1905, a n d w h e n Mr. I^lack w a s interviewed on N o v . 12, 1908, h e said : "I have n e v e r had a return attack of kidney complaint and I know that my c u r e i s a permanent one. My faith in Doan's Kidney P i l l s is stronger than ever. Mrs. James Croaks, First S t , N. W . , American Fork, U t a h , says, "I h a d kidney complaint for ten years or more. Sometimes a twinge darted through the small of m y back and I often b e c a m e so helpless that I w a s compelled to go to b e d with my clothes on. T h e attacks often lasted for days at a time and X c o u l d n o t e v e n stoop to put o n my shoes. My condition w a s certainly alarming. T h e secretions f r o m m y kidneys w e r e irregular in passage and contained a heavy sediment after standing. I well know what t h e misery kidney complaint causes a n d I c a n therefore appreciate the merits of a r e m e d y that cures this disease. Doan's Kidney P i l l s lived up to the claims made for them in my case and effected a cure. My kidneys w e r e restored t o a normal condition a n d my health greatly improved.'' (Statement given Aug.22.1907 ) On A u g . 24. 1009, Mrs. Crooks w a s interviewed b y o n e o f our representatives a n d s h e said: "It gives m e pleasure to reendorse Doan's K i d n e y Pills.

In the obituary of Mrs. Bernard McOluskey last week quite an .400* ooonrad for which we were f? antiraly to blame. In mentioning the survivors of the deceased no mention was made of the only daughter, Miss Mary McOluskey. Obituary* Sarah Harrington, whose maiden name was Waterman, was born in Middleport, Niagara Co., New York, Oct 6th, 1829. She lived in that county until her marriage to Harvey Harrington, Nov. 14th, 1850. The family moved to this state about 1858, settling in Saginaw city for a time then moved to Marion township where they reresided until coming to this place a few years ago. * To this union were born six children four of whom are living: George of Louisville, Ky.; Henry, of Bloomington, 111.; Mary Eldert,. of this place and Carrie Swarthont of- Marion. Mrs. Harrington was a kind loving wife and mother, devoted to her family and home duties and to her late husband, who passed through a painful illness, blessed by her loving care. She willingly obeyed the calls of duty^ however painful. She will be greatly mourned and missed by her family and a large circle of friends but we know our loss is her eternal gain. We believe that a family lives bnt half a life, until it has sent its forerunners into the heavenly world, until those who linger here can cross the river, and fold transfigured a glorius form in the embrace of an endlest life. GABD OF THANKS. The family of Mrs. H. Harrington desire to thank all who so kindly assisted them during the illness and in the time of bereavement, in the loss of their mother. CARD OF THANKS We desire to extend our heartfelt thanks to those who so kindly assisted us in our bereavement, also to those who sent floral offer. ings.

Wanton waste during centuries of ignorance has brought many once fertile regions to the verge of a desolation like that of the Sahara, but repentance and reforestation have in every instance been followed by immediate rewards. Take the case of the Karat, a stretch of barren limestone land along the Austrian ahores of the Adriatic. The navies of Venice were built of Umber from the Karat, and most of eastern Italy drew its supplies of wood from the same supposedly Inexhaustible source. The result was depletion—the Karst was turned into a seemingly Irredeemable waste. At last Austrian foresters turned their attention to the 600,000 barren acres; taxeB were remitted and money was remitted to tree planters; technical advice aid encouragement was supplied. This work began in 1865. To-day over two-thtrda of tho Karat, or 400,000 acres, has been reclaimed. Germany, trance, Denman;, Russia, Switzerland, Belgium and Holland have given special attention to their forests recently, Germany being the pioneer and leader in the work. But France has lately done so much In legislation and active assistance tlxat special attention should be given to her efforts. Special Message Is Sent to Congress by President Urging Action Lawmakers. CONTROL OF WATER POWER Vhe change from steam to electricity on what have been steam railroads Is so gradual, and the roads themselves make so little fuss about It, that tbe public 1B not in a position to realize the extent to which so marked a change in the application of power to transportation is being brought about. For example, it will be a surprise to most people, evei. within a comparatively short distance of New York, to learn that the Long Island railway already has 140 miles of electrically equlppped track in readiness for operation. It is expected that by the first of next February trains will be running directly from the Pennsylvania terminal at Seventh avenue and Thirty-fourth street, Manhattan, to Jamaica. It will not te long before the territory at the western end and along the north shore of Long Island will be inc:Uded in the througn service. Executive Recommends Leasing of . Valuable Privileges on Government Domain to Private Interests Under Conditions That Would Prevent Monopoly—Question of Fostering Soils Most Important- Reclamation and Irrigation of Arid Lands Also Treated Upon—Preservation of Our Forests. A London dispatch announces that Hermann Klein, who Is a teacher of singing in New York, has entertained an English audience with a lecture entitled "The Truth Ab-mt Music In America." Musical enthusiasm, he declared, Is largely a pose of American women. No musical educatlor exists in the country. Ragtime is really preferred to chamber music. American artists are only appreciated by their countrymen after they have achieved success elsewhere. Finally, he attacked the Btar system in opera, church music and concerts as it exists in the United States. The younger element among military and naval men will approve the condemnation of the existing organization of the military establishment of the United States by the board appointed several months ago to Institute comparisons between methods in this country and in Europe, and to make a report The report will rec ommend the establishment of an ad visory board with duties and powers similar to those of the British admiralty. A thorough reorganization of nary yard administration will also be advised. A wooden vessel 350 feet long over all will be launchea at Bath, Me, within two weeks. She will be the largest vessel of American registry, and probably one of the last wooden vessels of large size to be constructed in the United States. Steel has come to be the material for both steam and sail craft, the world over. In lesB than ten years' time every part of Central America will be in daily 1a,ich with the commercial world and the people peaceful and happy in all the provinces, says the Cincinnati Enquirer, with no fear of revolutions, political murders or official demands for their Uvea and their property.

Washington.—The president transmitted to congress a special message on the subject of the conservation of the nation's natural resources. In substance it was as follows: To the Senate und House of Representatives: In my annual message I reserred the subject of the conservation of our national resources for disposition In a special message, as follows: In several departments there is presented the necessity for legislation looking to the further conservation of our national resources, and the subject la one of such importance as to require a more detailed and extended discussion than can be entered upon in this communication. For that reason I shall take an early opportunity to send a special message to congress on the subject of the Improvement of our waterways; upon the reclamation and irrigation of arid, semi- Arid and swamp lands; upon the preservation of our forests and the re-foresting of suitable areas; upon the re-classification of the public domain with a view of separating from agricultural settlement mineral, coal and phosphate lands and sites belonging to the government bordering on streams suitable for the utilization of water power. In 1860 we had a public domain of 1,065,- »11,288 acres. We have now 731,364.081 acres, confined largely to the mountain ranges and the arid and semi-arid plains. We have, in addition, 368,035,975 acres of land in Alaska. Disbursement of Public Lands. The public lands were, during the earliest administrations, troated as a national asset for the liquidation of the public debt and as a source of reward for our soldiers and sailors. Later on they were donated in large amounts in aid of th« construction of wagon roads and railways, in order to open up regions in the west then almost Inaccessible. All the principal land statutes were enaoted more than a quarter of a century ago. The homestead act, the pre-emption and timber- culture act, the coal land and the mining acts were among these. Fraudulent Titles. The truth is that title to millions of acres of publie lands was fraudulently obtained and that the right to recover a large part of such lands for the government long plnce ceased by reason of statutes of limitations. There has developed In recent years a deep concern in the public mind respecting the preservation and proper use of our natural resources. This has been particularly directed toward the conservation of the resources of the public domain. A vast amount of discussion has appeared in the public prints in generalized form on this subject, but there has been little practical suggestion. It has been easy to say that the natural resources in fuel supply, in forests, in water power, and in other public utilities, must be saved from waste, monopoly, and other abuses, and the general public is In accord with this proposition, as they are with most truism*. The problem, however, is how to save and how to utilize, how to conserve and still develop, for no sane person can contend that it is for the common good that nature's blessings are only for unborn generations. Noteworthy Reforms. Among the most noteworthy reforms Initiated by my distinguished predecessor were the vigorous prosecution of land frauds and the bringing to public attention of the necessity for preserving the remaining public domain from further spoliation, for the maintenance and extension of our forest resources, and for the enactment of laws amending the obsolete statutes so as to retain governmental control over that part of the pub- He domain in which there are valuable deposits of coal, of oil, and of phosphate, and, in addition thereto, to preserve control, under conditions favorable to the public, of the lands along the streams In which the fall of water can be made to generate power to be transmitted in the form of electricity many miles to the point of its use, known as "water power" sites. The present statutes, except so far as they dispose of the precious metals and the purely agricultural lands, are not adapted to carry out the modern view of the best disposition of publie lands to private ownership, under conditions offering on the one hand sufficient inducement to private capital to take them over for proper development, with restrictive conditions on the other which shall secure to the public that character of control which will prevent a monopoly or misuse of the lands or their products. The power of the secretary of the interior to withdraw from the operation of existing statutes tracts of land, the disposition of which under such statutes would be detrimental to the public Interests, 1« not clear or satisfactory. This power has been exercised In the interest of the public, with thejiope that congress might affirm the action of the executive by laws adapted to the new conditions. Unfortunately, congress has not thus far fully aeted on theYecosamendattons of the executive, and the nutation as to what the eajcm,U«e Is to do is under the circumstances, rut} «| difficulty. It seems to me that It U the duty of oongress BOW, by a statute, to validate the withdrawal* whioj* nave been made by tbe secretary of the interior and the president and to use the secretary'of the Interior temporarV ily to withdraw lands pending submission to congress of recQuuneudaUons as to legislation to meet conditions or emergencies as they arise. . Public Land Alone •treams. With respect to the public land which lies aleng the streams offering opportunity to convert water power Into transmissible electricity, .another important phase of the public land question is presented. There are valuable water power sites through all the public land states. The opinion Is held that the transfer of sovereignty from the federal government to the territorial govern m e n u a s they become states, included the water power In the rivers except s o far a s that owned by riparian proprietors. I do not think it necessary to g o Into discussion of this somewhat mooted question of law. It seems to me sufficient to s a y that tbe man who owns and controls the land along the stream from which the power is to be converted and transmitted, owns land which Is indispensable to the conversion and use of that power. I cannot conceive bow -the power In streams flowing through public lands can bo made available at all except by using the land Itself as the site for the construction of the plant by which the power is generated and converted and securing a right of way thereover for transmission lines. Under these condition, If the government owns the adjacent land—indeed, if the government is the riparian owner—it may control the use of the water power by Imposing proper conditions on the disposition of the land necessary in tbe creation and utilization of the water power. Vslue of Water Power. The development in electrical appliances for the conversion of the water power into electricity to be transmitted long distances has progressed so far that it is no longer problematical, but It Is a certain Inference that In the future the power of the water falling In the streams to a large extent will take the place of natural fuels. In the disposition of the domain already granted, many water nower sites have come under absolute ownership, and may drift into one ownership, so that all the water'power under private ownership shall be a monopoly. If, however, the water power nitea now owned by the government—and there are enough of them—shall be disposed of to private persons for the Investment of their capital in such a way aa to prevent their union for purposes of monopoly with other water power sites, and under conditions that shall limit the right of use to not exceeding thirty years with renewal privileges and some equitable means of fixing terms of rental and with proper means for determining a reasonable graduated rental, it would seem entirely possible to prevent the absorption of these most useful lands by a power monopoly. As long as the government retains control and can prevent their improper union with other plants, competition must be maintained and prices kept reasonable. 8olls Must Be Conserved. In considering the conservation of the natural resources of the country, the feature that transcends all others, including woods, waters, minerals, Is the soil of the country. It is incumbent upon the government to foster by all available means the resources of the country that produce the food of the people. To this end the conservation of the soils of the country should be cared for with all means at the government's disposal. Their productive powers should have the attentlon^of our scientists that we may cortSewte^the new soils, improve the old soils, drain wet Boils, ditch swamp soils, levee river overflow soils, grow trees on thin soils, pasture hillside soils, rotate crops on all soils, discover methods for cropping dry land soils, find grasses and legumes for all soils, feed grains and mill feeds on the farms where they originate, that the eoils from which they come may be enriched. A work of the utmost Importance to inform and Instruct the public on this chief branch of the conservation of our resources is being carried on successfully in the department of agriculture; but it ought not to escape public attention that state action in addition to that of the department of agriculture (as for Instance in the drainage of swamp lands) is essential to the best treatment of the soils in the manner above Indicated. The act by which, in semi-arid parts of the public domain, the area of the homestead has been enlarged from ISO to 320 acres has resulted most beneficially in the extension of "dry farming" and in the demonstration which has been made of the possibility, through a 'variation in the character and mode of culture, of raising substantial crops without the presence of such a supply of water as has been heretofore thought to be necessary for agriculture. No one can visit the far west and the country of arid and semi-arid lands without being convinced that this is one of the most important methods of the conservation of our natural resources that the government has entered upon. It would appear that over 30 projects have been undertaken, and that a few of these are likely to bo unsuccessful because of lack of water, or for other reasons, but generally the work which has been done has been well done, and many important engineering problems have been met and solved. Funds inadequate for 8ervlce. One of the difficulties which has arisen is that too many projects in view of the available funds have been set on foot. The funds available under the reclamation statute are Inadequate to complete these projects within, a reasonable time. And yet the projects have been begun; settlers have been invited to take up atid. in many instances, have taken up. the public land within the projects, relying upon their prompt completion. The failure to complete the projects for their benefit Is, In- effect, a breach of faith and leaves them In a most distressed condition. I urge that the nation ought to afford the means to lift them out of the very desperate condition in whloh they now are. This condition does not indicate any excessive w s s t e or any corruption on the part of the reclamation service. It only indicates an over-eealoua desire to extend the benefit of reclamation to as many acres and as many states aa possible. I recommend, therefore., that authority be given to Issue, not exceeding $10,000,000 of bonds from time to time, as the secretary of the Interior shall find It necessary, the proceeds to be applied to the completion of the projects already begun and *w- ~&m 5 their proper extension, and the woods running tea years o t more to be taJua, up by the proceeds of ^returns to the reclamation fund, which returns, a a the years g o on, will increase rasidry la a m o u n t ' »•••. N e w Law Requisite. r - Respecting the oomparatlvaly small timbered area* on the publie domain eet included la national forests because ' of their Isolation.or their special value tor agricultural or mineral purposes, it i e a # - - parent from the evils resulting by virtue of the imperfeottona of existing laws for the disposition of Umber lands that the acts of. June 8, 18ft, should be re* pealed and a law exacted for the dispo* sitlon ot the timber at pubUe axle, the lands after the removal of the timber to be subject to appropriation under the agricultural or mineral land laws. What I have said Is really an epitome ot the recommendations of the secretary of the Interior In respect, to the future conservation of the public domain in his present annual report He has given close attention to the problom of disposition of these lands under suoh conditions as to invite the private capital necessary to their development on the one hand, and the maintenance of the restrictions necessary to prevent monopoly and abuse from absolute ownership ort the other. These recommendations are incorporated in bills he has prepared, and they are a t the disposition ot the congress.'I earnestly recoraraeud that all the suggestions which he has made with respect to these lands shall be embodied in statutes and, especially, that the withdrawals already made shall be validated so far as neccesary and that doubt as to the authority of the secretary of the Interior to withdraw lands for the purpose of submitting recommendations as to future disposition of them where new legislation is needed shall be made complete and unquestioned. Disposition of Forest Reserves. The forest reserves. of the United State's, some 190,000,000 acres in.extent, are under the control of the department of agriculture, with authority adequate to preserve them and to extend their growth so far as that may be practicable. The importance of the maintenance of our forests cannot be exaggerated. The possibility of a scientific treatment of forests so that they shall be made to yield a large' return in timber without really reducing the supply has been demonstrated in other countries, and we should work toward the standard set by them as far as their methods are Applicable to our conditions. Improvement of River. I come now to the Improvement of the Inland waterways. He would be blind, indeed, who did not realise that the people of the far west, and especially those of the Mississippi valley, have been aroused to the need there Is for the improvement of our inland waterways. The Mississippi river, with the Missouri on the one hand and the Ohio on the other, would seem to offer a great natural means of interstate transportation and traffic. How far. if properly improved they would relieve the railroads or supplement them In fespect to the bulkier and cheaper commodities is a .matter of conjecture. No enterprise ought to be undertaken the cost of which is not definitely ascertained and the benefit and advantage of which are not known and assured by competent engineers and other authority. When, however, a project of a definite character for the Improvement of a waterway has been developed so that the plans have been drawn, the cost definitely estimated, and the traffic which will be accommodated is reasonably probable I think it Is the duty of congress to undertake the project and make provision therefor in the proper appropriation bill. One of the projects which answers the description I have given is that of introducing dams into the Ohio river from Pltt9burg to Cairo, so as to maintain at all seasons of the year, by slack water, a depth of nine feet. Upward of seven of these dams have already been constructed and six are under construction, while the total required is 60. The remaining cost is known to be $63,000,000, l^llfr TrW€ BETWgfN D0SIS. : > - . « ? • • * -r * «., : "> .

Although the survey of the past year's anti-tuberculosis work shows that much has been done, the reports from all, parts of the country indicate that this year the amount of money to be expended, and the actual number of patients that will be treated will be more than double that of the past year. For instance, special appropriations have been made in the various municipalities for next year's antituberculosis work, aggregating $3,976,- 500. In addition to these appropriations over $4,000,000 has been set aside by the different state legislatures for the campaign against tuber culosis tuis year. Besides these sums, a large number of the present exist* ing institutions and associations are planning enlargements of their work, and new organizations are being formed daily. A Good Mead for Business. "I want a hat pin," said little Mary of four years, as she gazed eagerly at the cushion full of sparkling ornaments on the milliner's showcase.

Imagine her amuse* ment as the little "bargain hunter" said most eagerly: "I'll take two, then."—Delineator. of our inland waterways it would wise to begin with this particular project and carry it through as rapidly as may be. I assume from reliable information that It can be constructed economically in ten years. I recommend, therefore, that the public lands, in river and harbor bills, make provision for continuing contracts to complete this Improvement, and I shall recommend in the future, if it be necessary, that bonds be issued to carry it through. - What has been said of the Ohio river Is true in a less complete way of the Improvement of the upper Mississippi from St. Paul to St. Louis t6 a constant depth of six feet, and of the Missouri, from Kansas City to St. Louis to a constant depth of six feet and from St. Louis to Cairo of a depth of eight feet. These project* have been pronounced practical by competent boards of army engineers, their cost has been estimated and there is business which will follow the Improvement. As these improvements are being made, and the traffic encouraged by them shows itself of sufficient Importance, the improvement of tbe Mississippi beyond Cairo down to the gulf, which Is now going on with the maintenance of a depth of nine feet everywhere, may be changed to another and greater depth If the necessity for it shall appear to arise out ot the traffic which can be delivered on the river at Cairo. Cheap Rail Rate Necessary. I am informed that the investigation by the waterways commission In Europe shows that the existence of a waterway by no means assures traffic unless there is traffic adapted to water carriage at cheap rates at one end or the other ef the stream. It also appears in Europe that the depth of the streams is rarely more than six feet, and never more than nine. But it is certain that enormous Quantities of merchandise are transported over the rivers and canals in Germany and France and England, and it Is also certain that the existence of such methods of traffic materially affects the rates which the railroads charge, and ft is the best regulator of those rates that we have, not even excepting the gaxammental regulation through the Interstate commerce commission. For this reason, I hope that this congress will take such steps that It may be called the inaugurator of the new system of inland waterways. For reasons which tt is not necessary here to state, congrsss has seen fit to order an Investigation into the interior department and the forest service of the agricultural department. The results of that investigation are not needed to determine the value of, and the necessity for, t h s new legislation which I have recommended In respect to the public lands and In respect to reclamation. X earnestly urge that the measures be taken tip and disposed of promptly without awaiting the investigation which has determined upon, Evidently 8o.

It goeB a long way toward helping In the digestive process, and that is absolutely essential to health and strength. Many persons have found that Grape- Nuts food is not only nourishing but is a great appetizer. Even children like the taste of it and grow strong and rosy from its use. It is especially the food to make a weak stomach strong and create an appetite for dinner. "I am 67 years old," writes a Tenn. grandmother, "and have had a weak stomach from childhood? By great care as to my diet I enjoyed a reasonable degree of health, but never found thing to equal Grape-Nuts standby.

SYNOPSIS, le story opens with the Introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massachusetts man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in mining operations in Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was.hiding. At his hojtel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunk*n officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. CHAPTER Ill—Continued. I walked the floor twice from wall to wall, thinking swiftly, the sodden cigar clinched tightly between my teeth. I could perceive no reason why the deed might not be accomplished •If lucjc favored, and I was sufficiently young so that the danger rather appealed than repelled. Suddenly I wheeled and faced him, still seated at the table. "You may fill out the blank, senor," I announced, quietly. "I will try a throw of the dice." at C I M M I pointing .upon' the roocfe. tatrlat. Indeed, » wild, hilarious mob ftpefcd m « loudly M 1 pressed aside Usjl k)«tvy curtain sod stepped within.

Perched high upon a table, bis Jk>ng legs encased in sea boots, seated astride a chair, sat the singer, his mop of coarse red hair standing erect, his Jaw that of a bulldog, the scar of a recent kriife wound showing, ghastly across one cheek, his blue shirt open at the throat to reveal a hairy chest; beneath thatched brows his eyes glinted and gleamed in a ferocious attempt at good humor. "Blng, ye bullies!1' he roared, after one Inquiring glance toward me, bringing his heavy glass down on the back of the chair. "Lay it out fer the gent, wtmt has just come calUn' on ye.

The polite hotel clerk halted me as I passed his desk on the way out with information that a drunken naval officer— evidently Sanchez—had been there twice already seeking me, had also asked for Lord Darlington, and would return again at ten o'clock. I thanked him, smiling to myself, wondering if the English nobleman was to be challenged also, and promptly disappeared into the night without. The unfortunate affair with the aggrieved lieutenant had become a small matter no longer troubling me. I have wandered by night through most of the seaports of the world, knowing well the intricacies and dark places of Port Said, Melbourne and Calcutta, but I doubt if even the unspeakable orient can equal for dirt, squalor, crime and peril those narrow, crooked alleyways where sailors most do congregate against the Valparaiso water-front. Here gather in bestial rioting the scum of the South seas, and here flourish their parasites. Any night a trip alone through those foul lanes Is of the kind to test strong nerves; but on this special occasion, the way filled with pandemonium and drunkenness, the entire city a riot of noisy violence, the populace aroused to fierce hate toward all foreigners, the passage was one of constantly recurring danger. The street lights, few and far between, were mere blotches of color winking feebly at the surrounding darkness, the rough cobblestone pavement underfoot was irregular and deceitful, while drunken crowds, either quarrelsome or maudllngly affectionate, surged aimlessly about, gesticulating and yelling with Latin fervor. However. I knew the way well, and kept myself hidden from observation by hovering close beneath the protecting shadows of the buildings, drawing well h:\ck within doorways to permit the noiser parties of velers to pass, and then hurrying _ ward along the deserted streets. 1 ^^pumbled over the body of more than %ne drunken man, while sounds of Quarreling were borne to me through the open door of every low taproom I passed.

Now take a grip at this: A mighty man was Pat McCann,t Who sailed upon the sea; Within his hold he hid the gold, He stole In Barharoe. In Barbaree, in Barbareo The men lie mute, Hf» has the loot, He found in Bnrbaree. They were still at it, the motley, mongrel crew, their hoarse, drinkthickened voices roaring out lines full of the fierce swing of the deep sea, their glasses pounding in unison on the tables, as I pushed my way through them up to the sloppy bar and faced the fellow standing behind. "Is there a Yankee whaleman here by the name of Tuttle?" I asked. He stared at me, his eyes squinting, while the wild chorus began to die away like a clock run down. "Bill, whars Cap" Tut'?" he called out finally. "Here's a cove wants hhn." The red-headed giant, perched aloft on the chair, flung one hand indifferently across his shoulder toward the rear of the room. "Come on again, mates," he roared. "Another drink, and another song. Spit it out this time—'Swing hard! Bend low!'" "He's yonder In the back room; through that door, mate," said the bartender, shortly. "Better not tread on any of the lads* feet goin' in, unless maybe ye're here to-night, huntin' trouble. They're just 'bout drunk enough now to be ready to start a row." I picked my way with caution, the fierce lilt of that devils' chorus stunning my ears, the hairy faces confronting me scowllngly suggestive of any c r ! # \ Saint Andrew! I thought soberly, if this was still the day of pirates here was * brood ready for hatching. With a feeling of positive ellef 1 pressed open the heavy wooden door, stepped within and closed it carefnlly behind me. So tightly fitting and solid the wood It instantly shut out completely the mad >riot of the barroom. It was like coming into a new world. Two men sat alone at a small, round table smoking, between them a short-necked black boute with glasses, and a scattered deck of greasy cards. The one nearest where I stood, tali, long-Umbed, angoja* hi* facet thfat and made to appear more a*v from a sandy chin-whisker, bad hit knees swung over the ana of bis chair, a bald spot on the, top of hit head shinlag ooasplcoousiy beneath tha rars of the iamfc. His oompanjan Was considerably yomigar, somewBaf trim of buiht, with black, curling hair, and small mustaches carted - upward at the tips. He was of a complexion to make- me think him either a ereole £r quadroon, but with smiling lips and % light in his merry eyes beepeakiag a temperament of food humor; "Capt. Eli Tuttle?" I questioned, doubtfully. •• The older man slowly deposited his feet on the floor and stood up. He was a trifle round-shouldered, attired la a black frock coat which dangled to the knees, and his eyes-of cold gray narrowed into mere slits as he inspected me with undisguised suspicion. "The spirit which for 70 years hath made answer to that earthly name still abideth within this fleshly body," he responded solemnly, in a voice seemingly from the very pit of his stomach. "I am still permitted to sail the seas, thus known to the children, of men, awaiting in patience the hour of translation." To be greeted thus in such a spot stunned me for the instant, my cheeks flushing as I read undisguised amusement in the upturned face of the Creole. My teeth shut together hard. "You are Eli Tuttle, then, formerly master of the whaling bark Betsy?" "Even so, young man," his lean face perfectly emotionless, his long fingers outspread flat on the table. "Eli Tuttle of New Bedford, once the chief of sinners, but now communing with the higher life of the spirit world. Associate me not with yonder ungodly crew, blind to the truth of the beyond," and he snapped his fingers softly toward the closed door. "In this world saints and sinners must indeed mingle bodily, yet not in any communion of spirit. It was for peaceful meditation that friend De Nova and I deserted yonder scene of revelry and sought this secluded spot. Truly the good book saith that where one or two are gathered together in his name there is he also in the midst of them." The Creole laughed outright, smiling the table smartly with his palm. "Sit down, mate!" he exclaimed, genially, kicking up a chair. "After 5rou know zis ol' hypocrite as well as I do, his communion viz spirits won't bozzef you much. Help yourself to drink, an' wash the taste out you' mouth." Tuttle wheeled about and stared at his companion, his thin jaw working savagely; but the Creole went on rolling a cigarette indifferently between his brown fingers, his white teeth gleaming. I remained standing, my hand on the back of the chair, intently studying the pair. "I come directly from Don Castillo," I said, quietly, facing the Yankee, and determined to get down to business, "and desire to speak with you alone." His glinting eyes narrowed perceptibly, and his jaws crunched down upon the tobacco in his cheek. " Tis safe enough with him," he acknowledged rather ungraciously, his voice becoming nasal as he pointed his chin-beard toward the other. "De Nova Is second officer." I drew back the chair and sat down, realizing that I now possessed the attention of both. "I have been appointed to assume Capt. Castelar's duties," I announced quietly. "Do either of you care to examine my papers?" Tuttle Bpat silently into the sawdust, while De Nova exhibited his white teeth in a grin. The eyes of the two men met. "I rather guess your papers won't cut much ice in this yere affair," returned the former with deliberate insolence, "being as how we don't either of us g J ^ f c t W ^ t i n * tor ,5era, If if you'll paldod my sayia* so plainly." His maak.- bad . disappeared as by magic, and I realised instantly the real nature of, t i p men* "Y^g mean ,BO oattstmaot km bean made, .either by yon, ft the men under your' "That's lust,aboot the aUe of it, mister," his tone full of unconcealed contempt. U s leg flung once again over the arm of the chair. "We agreed to do this one particular "job fer a certain consideration, but we're none of as-Peruvian sailor-men, and consequently don't give a hang for yonr papers. Ain't that about it. De Nova?" The ereole nodded, still smiling pleasantly, the blue smoke curling lastly up from the end of his cigarette. Evidently the two were actively engaged in taking my measure, and this was to be a case of man against man, rather than the exercise of any delegated authority. I might as well throw my commission into the fire for any real value it possessed here. All right; I had met and attended to their kind before. "I am delighted to understand the situation so clearly and quickly," I said, Bharply, throwing a note of authority into my voice and manner. "It simplifies my task. Now listen to me, Mr. Tuttle," giving him his formal title, "and you likewise, De Nova. I probably care as little for those papers as either of. you, but, nevertheless, 1 am in command. Do you both clearly comprehend that?—I am in command! It will be just as well for you n°t to attempt any horse-play. I am no dago sea-officer, but a North American sailor, and I didn't come crawling Into my first ship through a cabin window. I've tamed mutinous crews before now, and when I'm up against sea-scum I can hit as hard as the next fellow. If either of you desire to test my qualities as a buckomate, I'm here to accommodate you." Neither answered, but I read their conclusion in their eyes. "That's all I need to say now," I went on. "It's up to you to fish or cut bait. You fellows have nothing to gain by opposing me, and I hope you possess sense enough to know it. De Nova, where have I ever met you before?" The Creole's face instantly brightened again, his white teeth gleaming under the black mustache. "So monsieur remember," he lisped gently, leaning forward on the table. "I thought maybe you forget altogether 'bout zat time. But I know you at once w'en you come In. It make me laugh to see zis Yankee try bait you like you was a dago steamboater. Bah, I know you all right for sailor-man; I know you do business." "But I am unable to place you." "No, not yet; maybe you will w'en I say more." He spoke rapidly, gesticulating with excitement. "It was a little ship off Hatteras; ze storm five days, an' all wreck. It was a steamer, w'ite, wiss red stacks, zat took off ze crew, an' it was hell of a job. Zat was ze story, monsieur; I was mate of ze Cymbellne." I knew him then instantly, my memory picturing anew tha cold, gray dawn, the green, angry seas, the helpless, sodden hulk heaving sickenlngly to its death, and those water-drenched forms we hauled over the sinking rail into our tossing boat. I held forth my hand, and his brown fingers, hard as Iron, closed over it In a grip to be felt. "Sure, it's come back, mate," I said. "I rather guess I can count on you." His dark eyes met mine in frank honesty. "Running arms for the Cuban revolutionists then, weren't you?" I asked, indifferently. "What since?" He shrugged his shoulders, glancing across at Tuttle, and Angering his mustache. (TO BE CONTINUED.) No Compromise With Truth * - Absoluts Sincerity in AM Things Marks Men of Standing. Sincerity is made up of two words —sine and cere—sine, without, and cere, wax; without wax. And it means absolutely pure, transparent. The human mind is constructed for truth telling. This is its normal condition, and under the exercise of true living and true thinking the character becomes strong and robust Wholeness, completeness, comes into the life from truth, from sincerity; but the moment we attempt to twist the mind into expressing deceit it becomes abnormal and works all sorts of harm to the character. I have in mind a very brilliant writer who exobanges hts talent for cash in political campaigns. He has written some of the best campaign documents for all politics] parties, but the lack of sincerity in his character so discounts his personality and ability that he has no standing as a man. £.« is recognised a% a brilliant writer, but as a man totally without convictions. There is something in the mind itself which thrives upon sincerity and which protests against all that is false, against all sham. Nothing ever quite satisfies this longing but absolute truth. The mind quickly becomes sickly and weak when forced to express what is false.—Orison Swett Marden, in Success Magazine. Doesn't Attract.

SETTLEMENT. Recent advices from Canada, our neat door neighbour, the neighbourly country across the boundary line, are that upwards of ninety thousand settlers from the United States went into Western Canada during the past year, most of them for the purpose of taking up and settling upon the vacant lands, 160 acres of which are given free by the government, and lands adjoining held by railway and land companies are selling at from nine to fifteen and twenty dollars per acre. Even if thirty and forty dollars per acre were paid, the price would be low, as the lands produce wonderfully, and at these higher figures there is a large interest on the money and labor invested. The ninety thousand settlers of last year, followed about sixty thousand of the previous year, and for several years the number has been running into these large figures. There must be a reason for it. It may be found in the single phrase, "they are satisfied." Nothing attracts people, more than the success of others, and. the news of this reaching other thousands, causes them to investigate. The investigation in this, case is always satisfactory. The splendid land of Iowa, of Indiana, of Nebraska, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio and other States has risen to a high value, and it is worth every dollar asked for it. But there is not room now for all on these lands. With the ever increasing demand for grain, there comes the ever increasing demand for land. Canada is the only country on the continent In a position to supply it. Land there that costs, say fifteen dollars an acre, produces on a reasonable calculation, 25 bushels of wheat to the acre, or about $20.00. The most liberal calculation as to cost makes the cost to produce $7.50 per acre, leaving a balance of $12.50 per acre. The $7.50 carries good wages for the farmer, and all other conceivable contingencies. With conditions like this, covering the entire area of about 500,000 square miles, it Is readily understood why 90,000 Americans should follow the sixty thousand of the previous year. Canadian Government Agencies at different points in the Union are always ready to give information regarding the free homestead lands, ready to advise the settler as to the districts which would suit him best.

Figures -on Telegraph and Telephone, Express and Car Companies Also Made Public—Total State Tax S5V 929,304.89. Saturday morning the tentative assessment of railroad companies was announced, and It is generally expected that for the next tew weeks the tax commission will be compelled to entertain clamoring: railroad representatives who have tales of woe to relate* and seek to have the valuation reduced. It Is safe to say that the kicks will be loud and long in nearly every instance, as the assessments have .been tilted considerably above last year's figures. Last year the assessed valuation of the railroad companies amounted to 1207,305,000, while this year's figures show it to be $214,190,000, an increase of 16,885,000. The average rate per $1,000 In 1908 was $18,005, while for 1909 it Is $20.67, an increase of $2,- 665. There has been an Increase in the state tax over 1908 of $1,754,971.09.

MICHIGAH BRIEFS. Drys Win In Kent County. There will be a local option election in Kent county in April. Final and decisive settlement of this question was reached when the supervisors, by a vote of 36 to 9, adopted a resolution that an election be held according to the demand of the Bigners of the local option petitions. The sentiment of the board was ascertained when a vote was taken on the question of adopting the minority report, It was evident that the drys predominated, and the vote stood 28 to 17 in favor of accepting the report. This was the true test, for when the vote was taken on the subject of submission many switched their votes and Jumped on the prohibition band wagon. Few Claims on the Fund. Tn the state treasury there is $98,- 450, known as state bounty fund, which was created by an act of the legislature of 1891, and originally contained $100,000. The appropriation was made for the purpose of paying claims against the state, dating from the beginning of the civil war,„ but apparently there are only a few of these which have been presented to the auditor-general. as the fund has not been touched since May, 1907, when $200 was paid out. Before the legislature of 1891 ereated the bounty fund accounts were paid from the general fund upon the approval of the auditor-general, but 'the lawmakers decided that It would be a better plan to create a special fund, and they placed It sufficiently high so that It would never be overdrawn. Many of the entries made in the ledger page used for the purpose prior ito 1891 contain many interesting accounts. In 1887 a bill was paid for a team of oxen which was killed by a train, transporting a company of volunteers to Detroit. It is probable that unless more iwoads are made upon this fund during the next few years, It will be erased from the ledger and again placed In the general fund. Would Make Corporations Pay. A suggestion will be made at the next legislature by the state railroad commission for an amendment to the law giving the commission supervisory power over the public service corporations, which will require that class of corporations to aid in the maintenance of the department. It Is proposed that, when a corporation asks for the authority to issue stocks and bonds and an investigation of the project Is necessary that the interested corporation be required to pay a eertain sum to cover the cost of the investigation.

LAMPHERE CONFESSED. helped Mrs. Qunness to Kill and Bury Her Victims. • Ray Xarophera, who died recent!J n the Indiana penitentiary at. Michigan City, whl'e serving * term for letting fire to the home of Mrs, Belle 3unnesi, near Laporte, Ind., and canning the death of the arch-niurderett, her three children and a hired girl, left a confession that he had been an accomplice of the vch-murdareea who lured 20 men to her home under promise of marriage, robbed them and then killed them, burying their bodies In her grounds. Lamphere's confession, which is published in the Post' Dispatch, wan made as he lay at the point of death. He said he assisted Mrs. Gunneen in disposing of the bodies of three of her many victims. Lamphere said he saw one of the men killed ana that he aided in burying all three. These men were Andrew Helgeleln and probably Ole Budsberg and Tonness Petersen Lien. Lamphere said be thought be had received as much money for his part in disposing of the bodies as he considered himself entitled to and that he went to the farmhouse at night with a woman, chloroformed Mrs. Gunness, her three children and Jennie Olson, the hired girl, and robbed the house of between $60 and $70. The light they used was a candle and they left the house without know* lng they had left behind a spark that soon burst into flames. Mrs. Gunness' method of killing her victims, Lamphere said, was to first chloroform them as they slept and then, if the drug did not itself kill, to sever their heads with an ax.

The small ftoyg squirmed wildly tinder elhows to ,equint an eye against a crack or a foeffcox glass. Then the slide of the general delivery window ; was pushed up, suddenly revealing in a sJohVof light the head an4.shoulders or a young woman. It was a startling frame for any face; that of the girl dealing-out letters might have .nested as an Illuminated saint of the modern art This girl looked a dreamer, an Idealist, a soul In its last chrysalis, and not for a- moment the postmistress of a Missouri village, almost within sight of the smoke of Kansas City. Yet she. was horn and bred there, and her little journey into the world had been no further than to St Louis. Her father, Attorney Culver, had been a gentleman, a scholar, and a procrastinating lawyer, with a mania for taking the measurement of his clients' heads and deducing their ancestral race. When her mother, who had been a patient Invalid, died, the father followed, erratically, as was his went, his last thought a belief that his doctor's head showed distinct tracery of the tribes of northern Asia. No provision was left The judge secured for her the modest government office. Her name was Catharine. Above all other traits was her comprehensive and sensitive intuition that la the flower of simple living and the sometime gift of grief. The first rush to the window expended Itself precipitately, the bulk of the mall was soon distributed, and the crowd thinned gradually away. Then the door opend again and a man entered. He stalked up to the window/ He was big, he was blocked out In angular lines, as the- muscular Britisher is; he was red and bronzed, somewhat bulbous eyed;, his clothes were a mystery of rough tweed. When he spoke, his voice was a pleasant scenic railway of English inflections. "Br—have yon anything for Capt Graceland—er—I should say, Capt. Vivian Oraceland?" "QrAceland—er-—Q, you know," the man said patiently. She was studying the B*s. She-smiled frankly. A sense of humor brings its own self-possession. "It might have been H, the way f the English apell names," she replied, impulsively. "How did you know I was English?" The question was humorous. She glanced through the letters quickly. "There Is nothing for you," she anwered, decisively. He felt a rebuke. - "Thanks," he said, raising his hat slightly, and stalked out "Have you got anything for m e f It was the HigginsvlUe voice. She thought Jrfje could measure the Infinite difference between this and the other. i , "Not to-night, Jim." 1 "You haven't looked." The Hlgginsville voice bent Itself to near a woman's gentleness. Catharine took the mail once more. She found a letter for Jim Wilson. He lingered a jnomest, then left, twinging away with the Inevitable grace of a'great strength and a glorious youth. When Catharine closed the office and started home, she mef him going in the same direction, and he guarded her to her gate. He had waited an hour In the cold for this. He generally did the sort of thing one reads about*-? Tbf^fengltsh officer called repeatedly for mail.

The afternoon was a vivid pleasure to her; his talk was of books and travel He told her of life in India, Japan; Egypt; his reminiscences were full of charm and vigor. ? She drank in all he described, thlristlly. r e m e r * Famous ChfD Curd: "Yes, The winter snowed itself along, and the Englishman still remained. Several times be went to Texas, to S t Louis, to Kansas City, but he returned with as little, delay as possible. He sent Catharine books and boxes of roses. She had never owned anything so lovely in her life. Then he went up to Kansas City for a week. Telegrams came for him, which Jim's best friend received with long and tuneless whistles, it got about somehow— such news invariably' does, and in Higginsville a telegram and a postal card were public property. A crowd in the postofflce discussed it before mail opened. "It never would er been found out on him, if he hadn't been dealin' with er Missouri fool 'at hadn't no more sense than to tellygraf him about it." ' "He's er plum rascal, that's the truth." "That is not true." The side door of the mallroom opened. Catharine stood in the threshold, breathless. There was a heavy quiet. "No, howdy you know?" asked Cy Baker. "Because he is a gentleman, not a thief; because I am his only friend \ here, and must speak for him," she replied. "No, he ain't ccme 'round you fer no good; we seen that all the time," put in another woman. "What's hisl intentions towards you, I'd like to know?" "I think there can be no doubt of my Intentions to Miss Culver, when I state that I asked her last night to be my wife." The Englishman had entered. His voice was the cold, polished tool of the world. Catharine raised her face and looked at him unseeingly. Then she shut the door and delivered the evening mall. He was waiting for her when she had finished, and without a word led her to the yellow bluff along the river. A silver Blip of moon hung over the girdling distances beyond. "I have not been true to much in my life," he said, after a tense pause. His eyes were looking past all springtime. "But I will be true now to you. I have been—culpably weak—I care for you, you know—I am not free to ask you to give me yourself. I am married." "I understand," she answered—each pause widened the boundaries between them—"it was a kind lie at the last. I thank you for it, and for the truth. Good-by." Jim found her at home an hour later.

In the vicinity of 150 newspaper people will gather at the Griswold Hotel, January 28, 1910, the occasion being the auuual January meeting of the Eastern Michigan Press Club, as per notices issued by Secretary F. E. Ellsworth, of Detroit. After the Business session the Club will visit the Detroit Auto show until time for the Banquet at 8 o'clock at the Griswold House. The Hotel Griswold is now under a new management and $50,000 are being expended in making this popular Inn up-tothe minute in all respects. M. A. Shaw, who for the last two years has been manager of the Hotel Tuller, has been elected one of the directors and is now manager of the Griswold house. The Griswold has passed from the ownership of Postal & Morey to the Postal Hotel company, Austin E. Morey retiring. The new company are spending $50,000 in improvements. Every room will have a bath and will be refurnished. The big dining room on the second floor will be retained for coLventions and banquets. What is now the billiard room will be made into a cafe seating 500 people. The Griswold will be strictly modern in every particular and will be one of the best hotels of its size in the country. The new company has a lease of 15¾ years on the property. The management of the Griswold have very kindly asked the East Michigan Press folks to hold the meeting in the new convention hall and to accept an invitation to attend a banquet which they will give the Club, all of which were accepted by the official family of the association in behalf of the membership.

FINCKNKT. - - - MICHIGAN USES OF A COLLEGE. Whatever critics may nay to the contrary, it never was and probably never will be the purpose of the standard college to train young men for business, says Boston Globe. Colleges do not even train men for the professions. There are professional schools tor that purpose, and in the days when no such schools existed medicine was taught In the offices of physicians and law in the offices of lawyers, just as business was and still Is taught in places of business. Colleges were not instituted to make physicians nor to make lawyers. Neither were they instituted to train men for business. Schools for special training have multiplied rapidly the world over. Even business schools are not lacking, although the business school which shall be in fact a post-graduate one to a regular academic course has not yet arrived. Meauwhile the commercial college or business scaool is doing excellent work. There is no reason why it should not be expanded as the professional and technical schools have been. Meanwhile let the idealist still cherish his dream of a college devoted to the cultivation of a lofty ethical standard, the propagation of knowledge, the fostering of the arts and the dissemination of the spirit of fraternity. As an indication of the strength of the pure food movement In the direc tion of sanitation, it is stated by the health commissioner of New York city that 10,783 tons of food were ordered destroyed by his department during the past year. This ought to be pleasing to consumers, who are paying enough for supplies at the present time to entitle them to articles that will stand inspection. Oyster consumers will be pleased to learn that the New York ^health department has established close supervision of the oyster supply, particularly as to the socalled "drinks" In which oysters are put prior to being packed for the markets. These "drinks" are all charted with relation to the sewerage outlets, and a card index is kept of the sources of supply of all dealers. It is only by supervision of this kind that conscienceless oyster dealers can be preventeu from "freshening" their stock in brackish water concerning whose purity there is serious question. Abdul Hamid, the deposed Bultan of Turkey, is reported to be writing a book. If the volume should tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the ex-sultan's long and eventful reign it should readily take high rank among the "best sellers." Hut if books are to be written by all the "exes" why would it not be a good idea for Abdul Hamid, the exshSh of Persia, Castro of Venezuela, and a fow more of that class to form a Bynclicate, pool" their Issues, hammer out a whole lot of entertaining literature And make their everlasting fortunes? Or have they already achievedg the fortunes? "Boys will be boys," but there are some things done by boys which show a perversion of high spirits and cannot be excused on the plea of boyish prankishness. At Trenton, N. J., a fair nights ago boys tied a rope across a sidewalk after dark, and William Steinmetz, a blacksmith, tripping on the rope, while on his way home, fell heavily to the pavement, fractured his skull, and was picked up dead. The Trenton police are unable to identify the boys who tied the rope. It is a good practice for policemen everywhere to keep an eye on every boy gang that frequents the streets after dark.

BRICK RESIDENCE DEMOLISHED BY EXPLOSION OF ACETYLENE QA8 PLANT, MAN BURIED IN RUINS. Wife, Two Bablss and Bitter Flee; All Injured and One Little One Dies; Other One is Not Expected to Live. An explosion wrecked the brick residence of Scott Parker, one niile north of Moscow, a village on a Lake Shore branch in the extreme northern end of Hillsdale county, killing Parker and one of his children and injuring his wife and child, also an aunt of the children who lived with the family. Three other children of the family were out of the house. The dead body of Parker was dug out of the ruins. The second injured child la believed to be dying. From reports that are coming in from the excited farmers of that vicinity it appears that Parker went down cellar shortly after the three older children had left home for school. "He went down there to fill the tank of the acetylene gas plant," is what Mrs. Parker says: The acetylene plant evidently exploded. Mrs. Parker, the children, Louise, aged 6, and Nellie, 3, and the aunt, Parker's sister, were In the living room when there was a loud report in the cellar, the house floor heaved up, and then the walls began to fall in on them. The two women grabbed each a child and scrambled across the caving floor to an outer door and escaped, juBt as the avalanche of bricks descended on them. It was their prompt flight that saved their lives. As it waa, Mrs. Parker suffered a broken leg and cuts on the head, and both of the children had both arms and legs broken. Nel'ie died. The aunt received lesser Injuries. Nearby neighbors heard the explosion and the news spread with the rapidity of a message conveyed by the wireless telegraph. In a brief interval there was a crowd at the scene of the wreck. It was a wreck, for the entire brick house had tumbled in ruins into the cellar. Big Year in Iron and Steel. The tremendous activity that is expected in the movement of Lake Superior iron ores is indicated by the announcement that the steel corporation has chartered vessels to move 15,000,000 tons, while It will move about 12,000,000 tons in its own vessels, this making the immense tonnage of 27,000,000 tons for the leading Interest. It is confidently expected that independent interests will move 28,000,000 tons, making a grand total ef 50,000,000 tons. Ore freight rates have been advanced five cents per ton, and the charges paid by vessels for unloading have been reduced five cents per ton, so that on a basis of a movement of 50,000,000 tons, vessels will have receipts of $5,000,000 greater than under the schedule of last year of ore freights In unloading charges. A very heavy volume of inquiry for pig Iron Is pending in the central west,- and some orders of good size have been taken. Specifications for finished products are running In a very, satisfactory volume to makers, although in tubular and wire goods conditions are rather quiet because buyers are very comfortably fixed with stocks on hand. Orders against contracts in sheets are probably of the largest volume. &-TPW*?- STATE BRIEFS.

That he was threatened on peril of his life to secure 110,000 and leave it at Main and Gorham streets for two parties In Chicago is the story told by Ray Horseman, the $8-a-week dry goods clerk, who has confessed that he tried to extort an equal sum from C. C. Bloomfleld, of Jackson, by means of a "black hand" letter. Young Horseman admits everything In connection with the case, but he declares that he was the victim of Chicago black-handers and that he concocted the extortion of Mr. Bloomfield as a method of procuring the money. <*The letters he received, he says, he has torn up. The police are inclined to doubt his story, inasmuch as other evidence in the case tends to show that he was alone in the plot. It is barely poesible that Ray got mixed up with a gang of blackmailers during his visits to Chicago. Live Clean Lives. "Cut out the saloons; lead a clean fife; keep your conversation clear; put your ideals of everyday life high; maintain a distinct reverence and belief in religion; have a philosophy of life and Hve up to it." . These are the precepts that Harry B. Hutchlns, president of the University of Michigan, laid down to a large audience of men students in telling them how they can build up character and thus do their duty toward the state that is furnishing them an 0¾ portunlty to gain a higher education. The largest attendance in the history of the organisation is the record set by the Michigan Millers' association, which held the annual meeting this week is Lansing. met corporation, has leased 709 acres of land near Kirby, in Shiawassee county, and operations for coal mining will be started soon. It la stated,that a vein three feet thiok is located on the property. Prof. William J. Hussey* head of the astronomical department at the Ann Arbor university, reports that a very bright comet has been sighted. He states that it waa traveling towards the sun. This is supposed to be the same one that was sighted by astronomers in South Africa on January 17. R. L. Lamont, an alumnus of the engineering department at Ann Arbor, has donated gifts to the university which will total $20,000. They include a plot of ground adjoining the observatory, money to begin work on a 24-inch refracting telescope, and $2,- 000 worth of tools for the engineering department. - Michigan won and lost in debates on the resolution that "The United States has shown that a protective tariff.should continue to be a national policy." The affirmative team defeated Northwestern university team at Ann Arbor, and the men taking the negative side were beaten by the University of Chicago team in that city. At the meeting of the state board of auditors at Lansing a total of 508 claims were allowed. While the amounts of claims did not reach aa large a total as on previous days, nearly $50,000 was paid out. The board also gave permission to the state threshermen to use representative hall for their annual convention, which occurs on March 30 and 31. Simplicity is to be the slogan of Adrian high school's next graduating class, for the girls of '10 have adopted a resolution fixing on simple white for all functions pretaining to commencement. Each young lady is limited to one white gown, and is pledged to wear no hat at the baccalaureate exexercises, the event at which the millinery displays were wont to be made In former years. The special committee on plans for a life insurance department for the state grange, is at work at Lansing. It is proposed to insure grange members from 14 to 45 from $250 to $2,000. The organization has now sufficient help to handle the increased business without trouble, and as the farmer is a long-lived person it is believed that the proposed insurance department will be a success. The electric railroad meeting at Cold water, in response to a call from Mayor Sherman, brought out 500 men. The subject under discussion was the proposed line between Coldwater and Battle Crrek, for which the citizens of Coldwater are asked to raise $6,- 000. A committee wa8 appointed and nearly $2,000 was subscribed at the meeting. It is planned to run the road over the old Coldwater-Mansfleld roadbed. It is believed at Marquette that the explosion of dynamite which cost the life of one miner and seriously injured four others, and destroyed the "dry house" at the Carey mine recently, was the result of a plot, though the motive for such a crime is a mystery, as the men are working on a friendly agreement with the company. Investigation shows that the explosive was placed at five different places under the building. The Bellevue council, through President Brockett, has started suit against three of the aldermen to show cause why they have not attended recent council meetings. Some time ago a proposition concerning lighting came up and the council be came divided. Since that time the men have never attended, although they have handed in their resignations, which could not be accepted without a full board. Word has reached Mackinac Island of the death, in Fort Smith, Ark., of Dr. John A. Bailey, 77. state park commissioner, and one of the beat known physicians in northern Michigan. He was a graduate of the U. of M. and during the civil war served as a surgeon in a Missouri regiment. He came to Mackinac Island soon after the war and did much toward developing the place into the beautiful natural park it now is. Because of the action of the state veterinary board In revoking the license of Dr. A. P. Hart, of Battle Creek, it looks as though the entire class of 13 who graduated from the Grand Rapids Veterinary c o l l i e in March. 19OS, would he required to at tend school six months more or give up their practice in this state. It IF %aid that Hart and the others attended only two six-months' terms, when the law requires that they shall spend 18 months in school • • • * • BROKEN R A I L T H H O W t CANADIAN .; PACIFIC T R A I H iNT4> BPANlBM .

Most terrible of all, maimed and injured, caught in the wreckage of one of the cars, were burned to death. The exact number of dead and in* Jured was still unknown, but according to stories told by injured passengers brought to Sudbury it waa one of the worst catastrophes in the history of Canadian railroads. The train wrecked was known as No. 7, en route from Montreal to Sault Ste. Marie and Minneapolis. An official statement given out saya that it probably was due to a broken rail. Front Cars Stay on TracMi The engine, baggage, express, mall and one second class car remained on the rails, while one second class, one first class, a dining car and a sleeper went down the embankment. The first class car and diner went into the river. The sleeper and second class car stopped on the embankment, the second class car catching fire. The wreck occurred about 37 miles west of Sudbury, where the tracks cut into the Bide of a steep hill which is skirted by the river, The forward part of the train passed over the break, whatever It was, in safety. The day coach, which was the fourtto from the end of the-train, was the first to leave the rails. The train was running at the rate of about 40 miles an hour and the momentum carried the car down the hill in a terrific plunge. About 25 passengers were in this car, and it is practically certaix that none eecaped. Only the Roof Above Water. Two minutes after the first crash, only the roof of the day coach showed above the flowing ice in the river. The second class car, the next In the train, smashed against the end of a culvert and was crushed to splinters. Some of the passengers were killed outright, but others caught in the wreckage, which almost immediately broke into flames, were roasted to death before they could be rescued. Uninjured passengers and trainmen Immediately turned their attention to the rescue of passengers imperiled by the fire. The telegraph lines were all torn down and it was evident that relief could not be summoned by wire. It was five miles to the village of Nairn, and a drenched survivor ran the distance to deliver a report of the wreck at the Canadian Pacific depot. Meanwhile Conductor Thomas Reynolds was proving himself a hero in rescuing eight passengers from the sunken dining car. When the wreck occurred, Reynolds, with W. J. Bell and David Brodie, had just sat down for an early dinner, Bell and Brodie facing the engine and Reynolds sitting opposite them and riding backwards. The diner was the last car. to enter the water and did not sink at once, but settled slowly, while the passengers climbed upon-the tables to keep their heads above the rising waterB. With several passengers standing in water to their chins, the situation was desperate. Then it was that Conductor Reynolds made a dive to reach a window, broke the glass and succeeded in rising to the surface of the river, outside the car. Happily, he reached the surface where a hole in the ice enabled him to gain a solid footing by resting one arm on the roof of the car and the other on the ice. 8ome Taken Through Roof. Gaining the roof of the car, he broke a fan light with his fist and rescued little Alfonso Rousel, of Sault Ste. Marie. After the little boy came D. M. Brodie, of Sudbury, who was small enough to pass through the fan light. Six more passengers who were too big to be rescued in this manner, were taken out through a hole broken in the roof of the car. "I never heard such terrible cries as when those cars went over the bank; 1 shall never forget it as long as I live," said Conductor Reynolds. "I put the killed at between 40 and 60. The "first coach carried about 35 Or 40 passengers, and of this number only one man escaped." Gangs of wreckers to the number of 100 were immediately sent to the scene of the horrible disaster.

Cleary, then county commissioner and for years a well-known Chicagoan, made a balloon ascension at a county fair over in Michigan, Bays the Chicago Journal. As the guest, of honor .the colonel was sent upward with the assurance that there was absolutely no danger. But as the distance from the earth grew greater the colonel leaned out anxiously. "Pull me in!" he shouted. The men who were bailing out the rope paid no heed to his demand. Higher and higher went the balloon. Wilder and wilder grew the colonel. Finally, almost standing pn his head as he tried to keep a precarious balance, he gave a final cry of exasperated panic: "Pull me in, I toll you, or I'll cut the rope!" Wisdom of a COOK.

INSOMNIA Leads to Madness, If not Remedied In Tims. "Experiments satisfied me, some 5 years ago," writes a Topeka woman, "that coffee was the direct cause of the insomnia from which I suffered terribly, as well as the extreme nervousness and acute dyspepsia which made life a most painful thing for me. "I had been a coffee drinker since childhood, and did not like to think that the beverage was doing me all harm. But it was, and the time ca when I had to face the fact, and p: tect myself. I therefore gave up coff abruptly and absolutely, and adopt Postum as my hot drink at meals. "I began to note improvement in my condition very soon after I took on Postum. The change proceeded gradually, hut surely, and it waa a matter of only a few weeks before I found myself entirely relieved—the nervousness passed away, my digestive apparatus was restored to normal-efficiency, ana I began to sleep, reatfully and peacefully. "These happy conditions have continued during all of the 5 years, and I am safe in saying that I owe them entirely to Postum, for when I began to drink it I ceased to use medicine," Read the little book, "The Boas to Wellvlile," in pkgs.

The atory opens with the introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, a Masaachuaettfl man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in mining, operation* In Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her.. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war. had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final Instructions. CHAPTER IV.—Continued. i • \^k th ~>^^^pihi \Si • • "Sacre! it haa been as ze devil drove," easily. "Ze last was sandalwood in ze South seas. I care little, to ze pay be good." "Then we'll get down to facts," and I sat back in the chair fronting the two of them. "Mr. Tuttle, how many men have you enlisted for this affair?" 'Twenty." "Those fellows out yonder?" and I nodded toward the closed door. He exhibited his yellow teeth, bis eyes narrowing. . "They'll be about all ye'll want to tackle, I guess," he volunteered, with some assumption of cheerfulness, "unless maybe -you decide to turn this expedition Into piracy, an' give 'em half the spoils. They're that sort, all right:" I straightened back in my chair, my jawa set hard, my gaze endeavoring vainly to catch and hold his shifty eye. "Mr. Tuttle," I said, sternly, "as I understand matters I am captain this cruise, and you're mate. Whenever I desire your advice I'll probably ask for It. Just at present please confine yourself to my questions. What crew have you?" The expression of his face was angry enough, yet he evidently thought best to answer civilly. "First and second officers, boatswain and gunner, ftve coal-heavers, the rest seamen." "Nationality?" "Every mongrel race under the sky." "You have no engineer?" "Couldn't pick up any; however, there's one on board, and, no doubt, we can persuade him to stick to the Job." The man's manner and tone remained suTly and insolent, but I gripped my indignation and held back the hot words burning my tongue. It was necessary that I make the best of it now, but after we were once safely at sea I intended very shortly to take the measure of this Yankee whaleman. My eyes wandered toward the olivetinted face of De Nova, barely visible through the enveloping smoke of his cigarette. The latter nodded cheerfully, as though he interpreted my thought. "Oh. ze men was all right, monsieur," he put in, smilingly. "Maybee hit rough, hut, sacre, w'at* would V bis shoulders rising to the ques- "Mr. Tuttle he grumble, but.it ail bask.

The very audacity of such an attempt was strongly in our favor. If we succeeded in silently warping the Esmeralda beyond range of the guns of the shore batteries all real and immediate danger would be over. Probably not a war vessel in the harbor had steam up, and, if they did, no Chilean warship could hope to overhaul us when once fairly at sea. I gave the personnel of the crew Tuttle had collected brief consideration. They were no rougher than I should naturally expect men to be who were volunteering for such a task. Besides, Jack ashore and Jack at sea are two widely differing personalities; once sobered and on shipboard, steadied somewhat by the perils of their position, and exhilarated by the promised reward, they would doubtless prove efficient, onough. Tuttle might require a lesson in sea etiquette, and, if he did, I felt perfectly confident of my ability to administer it promptly and forcibly. As for De Nova, I had uo doubt that he would prove himself a good man. So, altogether, my spirits rose as I thus contemplated a definite plan of action. The movement on the water was only the merest ripple, with the riding lights of the various ships at anchor reflected back as from a giant mirror. Two vessels, a full-rigged ship and a small schooner, lay close in shore, apparently deserted, their decks gloomy wastes, their bare spars sticking up skeleton-like and ghostly. Farther out, and somewhat to the left, a yellow lantern, perhaps in the bow of a guardboat, bobbed about, zig-zaggipg here and there like some erratic star. It was some time before I could locate with any certainty the particular vessel I' sought. The harbor was littered with sea craft of every description, and my knowledge regarding the Esmeralda was most "meager, being merely her point of anchorage, and that she WSB a large steam-yacht, schooner rigged. Finally. Into the focus of the leveled glaases "there crept Indistinctly .the delicate tracery of her bow, rendered more plainly visible beneath the groan radiance of her riding lamp, Lights were showing faintly through several portholes amidships, certain proof that ahe waa not entirely doaerteds «yet the cabins aft war* dark, and the only moving figure I could distinguish with, certainty was slowly pacing back and forth along, the lee rail of the poop. Suddenly, out from the enveloping smudge, came a shower of sparks the carve of the shore ljne, beneath the gloomy shadows of cool sheds. Of light* there were comparatively none. If I except the uncertain' glimmer of rocketa along the water's surface, and I waa -consequently compelled to feel my way from object to object like a blinded man, Sttyl, the course waa sufficiently familiar so that I successfully maintained both footing and direction, finally emerging eatery close beside the spot appointed for our rendezvous. There waa considerable open space here, the Mercantile Company's sheds standing some 30 feet back of the shore lin%, and their wharf for the unloading of barges extending more than 50 feet out into the harbor. I could dimly perceive a great crane at the farther extremity, with dangling buckets, outlined against the sky. The night was too dark for me to decipher the face of my watch, yet it could not now be long before the arrival of the men. I crouched down beside a post to await their coming, once again searching the harbor with my night-glasses. The company at last arrived by twos from out the enveloping gloom, silently grouping themselves amid the shadows. I could distinguish an occasional gruff cough, and the shuffling of feet, but there was no sound of conversation or hilarity. Evidently De Nova had sufficiently sobered them to their duty. At last one man detached himself from among the crowd and moved stealthily forward. I met him at the shore end of the wharf, peered into his face, half-concealed beneath the visor of his cap, until I recognized the fellow. "Crew all here, Mr. Tuttle?" "Yes, sir," he answered, startled by my sudden appearance into courteous response, "but mighty uneasy to be off." "They shall not be delayed. Get the boats out at once. You are to take charge of the whaleboat and I will accompany De Nova in the cutter. Pull silently to the end of the wharf and lie by there to await instructions. Do your men understand the boats they are assigned to?" "Ay, ay, sir." "Very well, then; get the boats out. and the crews aboard. Not a sound, remember, for there are guards patrol ling the harbor." 1 must confess this preparatory work was well and smartly accomplished, the men the merest silent shadows as they hauled the two hidden boats forth from concealment and quietly took their assigned places at the oars. Tuttle's crew was first afloat, De Nova experiencing some difficulty from attempting to load too near shore, in somewhat shallow water. "Drop overboard, two of you, and shove off," I ordered, finally. "Lively now, lads, but no splashing." The two fellows in the stern lowered themselves into the shallow water, bending down so as to put their shoulders against the planks for a heave. Suddenly, not three feet distant, a smudge of shadow uplifted, and I became conscious of a pallid human face gleaming fain My through the dark. Instantly I leaped toward it, with such force as to send the heavily laden boat swirling forward, the heaving men plunging face downward into the water. There was a startled exclamation in Spanish, a short-arm "**m I II 1 bath, the.twe seamen cam* toaay aid, j>ad. between u§f jtt ginned the fellow to helpleas silence,- • "Toaa him into the boat," I said, paathig from exertion, "We will be safer with ua than left aahore." It appeared even darker oat on the water than when we looked off upon it from the land, tmt* with av few cautious stroke*, we diaaoeered the smudge which represented Tuttle's whaleboat, and dtaw op within an oar'a length of where he lay waiting. "Mr. Tuttle,'* I began, speaking slowly and concisely so that the men in both boat* could hear, "thla Is going to be no boy's play to-night, and I expect Implicit obedience to my orders. Do exactly what I tell yon and no more. You know the situation of the Esmeralda, and I want yon to put your whaleboat in under her bow. If you keep a point east of north you „ can scarcely miss it. There is a lumping big brigantine anchored 100 feet beyond, with only a single light showing on her foremast. If you come up under her shadow you are not likely to be seen before you drift down against the Esmeralda's cutwater. Make use of the anchor-chain, and get half a dozen men quietly over the forecastle rail. Don't move from there until you receive some signal from me. Then clap down the forecastle scuttle, and male straight for the engine room. That will comprise the entire duty of your crew; and, above all things, let it be accomplished silently. Don't permit one of your men to carry a loaded firearm. Use belaying pins, if you need to, or a marllnsplke, but no guns. De Nova and I will go in by way of the stern, and we will be responsible for the after-deck and the bridge. Has any one a question to ask ?" There waa no response, the only sounds audible being the soft lapping of the water and the deep breathing of the men. I could distinguish them leaning eagerly forward, but the faceB were undecipherable in the gloom. "You understand clearly?" "Ay, ay, Mr. Stephens," and Tuttle's nasal voice had completely lost all its former trace of insolence. "Then pull away slowly and noiselessly; don't hurry; we'll give you plenty of time to get In. Good-by, and good luck to you." The balanced oars dipped gently Into the water, scarcely rippling it, and the sharp-stemmed gilded , away Into the surrounding blackness like a ghost. "All right now, De Nova," J whispered. "I'll go forward into the bow. Keep her head off about a point and watch out for signals." We slipped through the water silently, the sound of the dipping oarblades little more audible than the suppressed breathing of the oarsmen. Confident that if any eyes were watching from the deck they were not likely to be directed astern, we made wide detour, creeping cautiously in beneath the slight hulge of the yacht's side, until the fellow behind me fastened his boathook firmly into the afterchains. Breathlessly we waited listening, but no, sound reached us other than the slight hiss of escaping steam. "Hold hard!" I whispered, the word passing back from man to man. "Two remain with the boat, the rest follow me." I crept silently up Into the chains and peered cautiously over onto the open deck. It was wrapped in darkness and silence, the sole gleam of revealing light coming from out the open main-hatch, and that only the merest glimmer slightly illuminating the ship amidships. There was a lamp alight in the after-cabin, but the shades were drawn so closely I could scarcely perceive its presence. I became aware that De Nova stood beside me. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

American farmens or those who have gone from the United States, will participate largely in these splendid returns, and these comprise those who have gone from nearly every State in the Union, One of the many proofs that might be put forward showing the immense wealth (hat comes to the farmers of Central "Canada is seen in the sum that has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and the thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months. It is said that fifty thousand people of these Western Provinces spent the holiday season visiting their old homes. Most of these passengers paid forty and some forty-five dollars for the round trip. Some went to Great Britain, some to the Continent, others to their old homes in Eastern Canada, and many thousands went to visit their friends In the States. The amount paid alone in transportation would be upward of two million dollars. Some make the trip every years. It need not be asked, "Can they afford it?" With crops yielding them a profit of $20 to $25 per acre, and some having as much as twelve hundred or more whaleboat^j acres, t h e Q u e B t i o n l s answered.

Colonel Bill was a pioneer legislator, merchant and banker of the vest pocket variety. / •. It was seldom tbat Colonel Bill got caught by a debtor, so unerring was his judgment of men, but bis transaction with old man Blenkertoo was.an exception to tbe rule. Blankerton got iavj Colonel Bill's ledger to the amount of $60 and finally b&lunced the account with a note. When the paper was a long time overdue and there was no prospect of, a settlement, to the eminent disgust of tbe colonel, he declared; wltb a strong Anglo-Saxon emphasis, that be would sell Blankerton's note for 50 cents, on the dollar. The statement was not long reaching the ears of the maker of the note. He met the colonel in .the Tillage street one day and accosted him: "Bill, heard you'd offered to sell my note for 60 cents on the dollar." "Yes; I will." "Will you sen it to me at that rate?' "Yes. sir; I'll sell it to you at that rate." "All right, Bill; make out a new note." Colonel Bill's symptoms of apoplexy became noticeable from that moment. —Chicago Record-Herald.

According to ancient records, there dwelt between these two craftsmen a quiet man whose desire was for peace and who was sadly disturbed by the noisy occupntlons carried on by his busy neighbors. He therefore asked each of them to say for what sum they would change tbelr dwellings. This they did. Each calculated the amount required, and he, being satisfied, paid it over to them. "Now," he asked of the coppersmith, "where Is your new dwelling?"

When Tim Campbell was in the Fiftieth congress he stole a clerk from Congressman Scott Scott was a new member and was made chairman of a committee which gave him a clerkship. He knew nothing about the clerk. Campbell did. Through some means or another he had the clerkship transferred to his own committee. Six months later Scott learned of the trick. Meeting Campbell, he said: "That was a nice piece of petty larceny." "Tut, tut, Mr. Scott," said Campbell; "my committee needed a clerk worse than yours." Then, with twinkling eyes, he continued, "You are a milllonaire and can afford to hir« half a dozen clerks, while I muBt go to the government for clerical assistance." The ready reply amused Scott. The two men were always the best of friends thereafter. It Drew. The Major (thinking to have some fun out of Pat's ancient and skinny •teed)—Good morning, Pat I "Good morning, yer honor."

"'Ah, ye8, Joseph,"you have cause to complain/ a lawyer said to a farmer. 'The harvest has been very bad, no doubt of that. But you should remember that providence cares for all, and even the birds of the air are provided for." '"Yes/ said the discontented farm er, 'so they are—off my potatotes.' "— Washington PoBt. EPIDEMIC OF ITCriN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlals, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were stricken wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makeB your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treat* ment with Cuticura Soap, pintment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years.

Also, see that your hat is not a flyaway affair, but such a trim close shape as the model wears. KIMONOS AS EVENING WRAPS *«. Beautiful Garments Dssorvs the Popularity That Has Been Accorded Them. The gorgeous band-embroidered Japanese kimonos with their quilted linings, wide pocket-like sleeves and silken tasseled cords are being worn as evening wraps by a number of girls fortunate enough to possess them. The real JapaneBe.klmono is a work of art In that wonderful silk crepe in exquisite colors, embroidered with gold and silver threads, with Japanese iris, cherry blossoms, long-legged cranes and flocks of smaller birds, ft is admirable for wearing over evening frocks, and the quilted, soft lining makes it delightfully warm. With these kimonos there are long scarfs of Japanese silk embroidered and finished at the ends with long knotted silk fringe. They are worn about the coiffure or carried over the arms and shoulders at the opera or at a dance. Cotton Fringe. English-looking cotton fringes are among the decorative materials sought for. They appeal to.those who make a business of refurnishing and restoring interiors and to the amateur whose object it is to furnish her bed' room or to renew its hangings. These fringes are mounted on cotton gimp and vary in color from white to deep ecru and even to blue and white, in interesting patterns. They measure from one to five Inches and are used to edge almost any bedroom upholstery, Including the long, tied-back window curtain of English design. Thfey form an excellent finish to the bedspread for the 'old-time highposter and the modern brass bed, to the cover for the small shirtwaist box nnd to the couch cushion, as well as the various footstools and upholstered chairs.

One day in December he returned home with an empty bucket and a grave face. "We can't get any more milk," he announced in a tone weighty with the importance St his message. "The. cow's dried p." And, as we started In surprise at him, he suddenly clinched the matter with an observation, evidently of .his own: "They don't think that she'll thaw out till spring."—Delineator.

Russian Blouse or Redingote 8ult. ment, and forms part of a dashing street suit or smarter dress of some sort Made in wide-wale serge, with fur or braid bandB, with handsome belt buckles, a short plaited skirt, a big fur set and a Russian turban, the Russian blouse suit Is bewitching for a smart promenade or a spin on the ice. Velvet velveteen or corduroy are frequent materials for wearers of chilly constitution, and the dressmaker who suggests the appropriateness of fur bands for these effective textures Is good enough to show you how easily they may be removed for milder weather, wben bias bands of satin or taffeta could be substituted. With a handsome suit of this sort rich frog fasteners will be used, and sometimes the buttons are very splendid jeweled affairs with the gems sharply contrasting with the gown color. The belting likewise gives op* portunlty for superb buckles back and front; and If these adjectives seem to suit only fat pocket books let me tell you at once that they concern only effect Oar Illustration shows a Russian blouse dress of brown velveteen with bands of skunk fur.

Any of the wide-wale serges, with herenles braids in two widths, would do for this stylish suit if it is intended for practical wear; while for smarter use, velvet or cloth would be superb, as well as a rich grade of corduroy.

There are ajso two federal Investigations under way: Congress at Washington has undertaken a national probe of the momentous question, and in the Canadian parliament at Ottawa an act has been introduced proposing to expedite the prosecutions of combinations under suspicion of unduly enhancing the price of necessary foodstuffs. The strike against the eating of meat arose from a joking remark in the lunch-room of a large Cleveland factory. Now this meat strike has all Ohio in its grasp snd Is affecting chief cities in all parts of the country.

The members of the Eastern Michigan Press Glnb were well taken care of by the citizens and others of Detroit during then annual meeting at that city Friday of last week. As usual the headquarters were at ijie Griswold house and that meant everything good in that line, and as was published in onr last issue, many changes are now being made to make it a better place if possible than it ever was. The meeting was held in the afternoon in the convention hall of th»> Griswold house and there were nearly 150 present who listened to some excellent papers and talks on the trade and some lively discussions followed. At 5 p. M. a special car from the D. U. R stopped at the hotel and was loaded down with the members and taken to the Wayne Pavilion, where for two hours they were the guests of the Detroit Auto Dealers Association. The time was too short for all of the members to decide just what make of car they wanted but just the same many were looking for them and several already drive their own cars. At 8 p. M. the D. U. R. car took the company back to the hotel where a reception was given to Governor Warner and wife and Mayor Breitmeyer, and all then passed to the dining room where a banquet had been spread for the company and about 200 sat down to the tables. Toasts were given by seveial of the best in the state, Editor Shimerhorn of the Times acting as toast master.

As a snip nears land after a trip across the Atlantic inexperienced travelers are always in a ferment In regard to the proper tips to give their various stewards. Of course, one may give what one chooses, and, no mattei how small, the amount will never be questioned by the recipient, though his looks may mean much. I may say. however, that it Is customary to give the table steward about three dollars. Tour bedroom steward should receive not less than two dollars, the steward that polishes your boots of a morning one dollar, and your bath steward two dollars. In the very large boats In which there are lifts that run between the E and A decks, saving you the climb of five flights of stairs, should your cabin happen on E deck, It Is now customary to give a "pourbolre" to the boye who operate the cars. It Is advisable, by the way, to engage a position for your deck chair and indicate the time at which you desire to take your morning tub at the time when you engage your passage. in > i" m "-it- Twelve or fifteen years ago the American automobile was hardly known, aud those desirous of purchasing high-grade machines had to buy them abroad and import them. To-day the best autos in use are of American make, the capital invested in automobile manufacturing aggregates hundreds of millions of dollars and the business is Increasing rapidly. The Wrights, like Zeppelin, have capitalized their success, and find any amount of American money ready for Investment in their own and other schemes of aviation. A company In which the brothers are interested has « capital of $1,000,000, and doubtless others oi: equal or larger amount will be started. There are still many problems to solve in connection with aerial navigation. But the business assuredly has become commercially possible. ! With food products of all kinds extremely high in price, the people of Long Beach, L. I., may account themselves fortunate in experiencing a visitation of whiting, also known as "frost fish," which were cast upon the beach recently in such numbers that the coast for five miles was a solid ridge of fish. Residents along the beach gathered as much as they could eat Immediately and pack away for luture use, and then hauled tons of the fish to their gardens and farms to enrich the soil. The whiting is one of the best food fishes of the winter season, and the surfeit at Long Beach would have made many a lover of fish happy If It could have been shared without expense that would have made the distribution profitable. | China would be better off if Its emperor could disabuse his mind of the foolish notion that he represents Ood on earth, and Is of too fine a substance bodily and otherwise to be more than looked at, if even that, by the common people, says Brooklyn Citizen. For, after finding from his own observation how little real difference, except In opportunity, there is between the common people and the uncommon exceptions, he might be convinced that his own position would be safer with a community that had something to do with its own ordering, and thus be willing to enlarge the liberties of the new provincial assemblies elected recently. I The landing at Vancouver, B. C, of a/consignment of 116 barrels of eggs from China reveals the alertness of tile Chinese for commercial opportunities Eggs have ruled at high prices throughout the Tear, and if it Is possible to get them from China without inordinate loss through decay in shiptment, there may be a movement from {the far east that will put out of business those who buy up the product so freely that eggs remain firm and high even at the season when the hens are ike busiest ,/ I Football remedial legislation . is (talked of in several states.

WOULD BE PERJURERS The Charge Made By Oeborn Are To Bo Looked Into—How The General Fund la Used. "I have read what Osborn Is reported to have said at the Ionia banquet about how he found that state employes have been systematically robbing the state by collecting padded expense accounts when they are traveling on state business," said Auditor General Fuller. "A padded expense account cannot be collected, from the state unless someone commitB perjury. "All such accounts must be approved either by the auditor general or the state board of auditors before the state treasurer can lawfully pay them. It is designated by law which accounts one shall approve and which the other must approve. When a state employe presents an expense account" to either the auditor general or the board of auditors he must, take an oath that it is a true statement of his expenses.. Not until he takes tals oath does the auditor general or the board of auditors O. K. the account. I have ordered an Immediate investigation of Osborn's charges so far as the auditor general's department is concerned." Goes To Primary Fund. Deputy State Auditor Nate Simpson has returned from the north, where i e has been engaged in disposing of the two railroads that were sold for taxes. "It means a lot more money for the primary school fund," said he; "but did you ever stop to consider that all the expense attached to the selling of the roads and the expense involved in litigation regarding railroads comes out of the poor old general fund, which is almost always bankrupt, and not one penny goes back into that fund when money is brought to the state? "The same condition exists when expenses from several of the other departments are paid out of the general fund and the money obtained Is placed into the primary fund. Take the state board of assessors, for example. There is a big expense attached to the compiling of figures by a large force of men, and the total expense is all paid for out of the general fund, but when the tax money comes in from the railroads it is placed In the primary fund." Those Water Power Rates. The state railroad commission has fixed Feb. 10 as the date for the hearing on the complaint of the Lansing common council that the Michigan Power Co. is discriminating in rates charged for power. Interest will be state-wide In the hearing and the result, owing to the fact that it Is the flrBt complaint of this character under the law passed last winter giving the commission supervision over rates charged by power concerns. Precedents may be established which will have an important bearing on the future regulation of the big water power companies of the state. There was some discussion*" as to whether the commission could act except some specific instance of alleged discrimination was cited, but it was finally decided that the complaint filed by the city is sufficient. If the showing by the company as to the charges is not sufficient the commission may proceed to make an investigation to determine what the cost of furnishing power is, and what rates should be charged. If the hearing goes that far the investigation may develop considerable importance, and it may result In the commission establishing uniform rates to be charged in the city. 8earch for Blind Son. Mrs. William Oriman. of Saginaw, is seas^hing for her blind son, William Ortmatt, who disappeared Christmas night, and has not been seen or heard from since. The mother Interviewed several spiritualists in an effort to locate him, and one of them told her he was In Jackson, safe and well. Inquiry here fails to locate her son. Another spiritualist told her he vas being detained in a dark room in Saginaw, and still another told her he was in a distant place, but was being comfortably cared for. The family has been kept on the anxious seat since the mysterious disappearance of the man and have put forth every effort to locate him, but to no avail. It was thought at one time he might have been drowned in the river at Saginaw and a search was made. The water was dynamited to raise the body, but this, too, failed. Ortman left the blind Institute Christmas day and until night was traced about the streets of Saginaw, finally disappearing as if the earth had swallowed him. The police searched the lunch counter and pool mom belonging to T. A. Seager, of Tthica, and found three cases of beer, three gallons of whisky and two barrels of hard cider. The man was placed under arrest and gave bonds to appear in the circuit court MICHIGAN ITEMS.

He swallowed a quantity of It and was seised by an old disease of the throat: The food stuck in his throat and he choked to death. By completing an organisation that is to be known as the Workingman's board of trade and receiving petitions bearing in the neighborhood of 2,000 signatures, the first active step in the meat boycott situation was taken in Grand Rapids by the workingmen Saturday night. Helen Raynor, the principal witness against the, three Chinamen who are charged with harboring two white girls, testified in Battle Creek that I^em Loy had caused her downfall, having sent: her to Chinese in several Michigan cities. She also avers that he gave her "doped" cigarettes. Bertha Clement, her companion, related similar experiences. Under the direction of State Highway Commissioner Townsend A. Ely, a county road institute for the road commissioners and supervisors of Tuscola, Midland and Saginaw counties was held at Saginaw January 26. This meeting was in acoordance with a new state law which provides for a meeting of the counties that have claims for state reward roads. After being In darkness for several days, caused by explosion at gas works last week, in which one building of the local plant was blown up, Benton Harbor and St. Joseph are again enjoying gas. Investigations after explosion proved that the gasmaking machinery was not entirely destroyed. Temporary repairs to the plant again put it In operation. A civil suit involving $600, already having cost the defendants five times that amount, may come up in the Ingham county circuit court this week. The litigation arose over the purchase of a traction engine by John G. Waterman. The machine was listed at $1,- 341, but it is said that Waterman agreed to receive $1,800 when he transferred it to a firm of contractors WIRELETS. Secretary Nagel, of the department of commerce and labor, delivered an address on the extension of trade before the Merchants & Manufacturers' association at Baltimore Thursday, Death from black damp and natural gas was the fate of two workmen who had been lowered 90 feet in a bucket to the bottom of a caisson at Chicago, where a large building Is under course of construction. Under a prosecution by the state department of labor, the Norfolk, Va., knitting mills was fined $25 and costs on the"*charge of employing children under 13 years of age. Tie defense sought unsuccessfully to establish the unconstitutionality of the Virginia statute under which the prosecution was brought as a test case. The verdict of the Hillsdale coroner's Jury which investigated the death of Scott C. Parker and his daughter, Nellie Parker, when an explosion of the acetylene gas plant blew up their house last week, vindicates the Parker family of any charge of carelessness and condemns the lighting system as dangerous to public safety. The new comet, which been visible in the western heavens since last week, Is making a speed of more than 120 miles a second, according to- calculations made by Prof. Winslow Upton, of Brown university, Providence, R.

CALAMITY DANGER OVER [ The Situation te Rill Critical But Hopeful-rChlef Pear le That An Epidemic May Fellow, The swollen waters of the Seine are receding slowly hut enough to being a sense of relief to the^dUtfacted and desolate city- of Paris. The dan«er^ of some great calamity, auch as has been predicted now seems over. although the situation, continues - ta • be critical at many points within the city, particularly in the neighbor^ hood of the St. Laxare station, where the entire streets and solid blocks of buildings threaten to sink through the crust into the waters beneath. The effect of the removal of the water pressure has been to weaken foundations generally, and this causes the greatest anxiety. Besides there will be thousands of acres to be cleared or repaired when the water has receded, and there Is also the possibility of an epidemic breaking out Figures as to the number of persons affected by the flood in the valley of the Seine are pure guess-work, but certainly 40,000 have been driven from their homes to the hospitals and other buildings which have been placed at the disposition of the refugees. The local government authorities are displaying great devotion and seal in the work of salvage and rescue. Nevertheless, the conditions, especially in the country districts, are pitiful. The houses of farmers are submerged to their roofs, and in many oases the inhabitants have lost everything, Including their livestock. Premier Brland has arranged for the flour mills and oil reservoirs in the west and north to send flour and oil to Paris by special trains, so that the danger of a bread and oil famine is now practically over. Learning that speculators were planning to corner the potato market and send prices up, the government has issued an edict that if this is carried out the speculators will be sternly prosecuted.

Wednesday's livestock market quotations showed a big reduction on the prices of last week. Hogs were quoted at from 35 to 40 cents per hundred pounds lower; cattle from 26 to 40 cents; veal calves, 50 to 75 cents, and best lambs, 50 cents. It is the general belief among cattlemen that the fall In the prices of the livestock will result in meat being cheaper in the butcher shops within a few days. Still lower prices are looked for. The present figures are due to stock being held up, and the initial slump is the direct result of the first attempt at unloading. The boycott against meat has had its effect all the way down from packers to farmers, And wherever livestock has been held up for still higher prices there is now consternation and dread lest it be Impossible to unload before prices go way down. Governor Haskell In Trouble. Charges that Governor Charles N. Haskell and other state officers of Oklahoma had violated the state constitution and the laws of the state in the manner in which public moneys have been expended were filed in the lower house of the legislature by Representative L.

The increase of income from the foreign field was even more remarkable, being $1,860,000. The total gifts on the foreign field was $4,844,000, and this amount waa 48 per cent, of the total amount contributed for foreign missions by the Protestant churches of North America. The Increase of native converts last year was 164,674, or over 450 a day. The cumulative effects of the foreign mission enterprise is shown by the fact that it took 100 years to gain the first million converts. The second million were secured in 12 years, and they are now being added at the rate of a million in six years. The percentage of Increase of the church membership of America was one and onehalf, while the increase of American missions abroad waa 12 per cent Two members were added in America for each ordained minister, while 41 were added in the foreign field for each ordained American missionary.—-The Missionary Review of the World. — Knew the Calendar.

I asked him the reason. He replied, 'I have not had a headache since I left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drinking Postum I' "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when wo had company, and the result eac\ time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night We were) convinced that coffee caused his suffering, so he returned to Postum, convinced that coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more with insomnia.

He desired that that night the Ssmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. CHAPTER V.—Continued. "There i s . certainly no watchman aft," I announced, softly, "unless he be found upon the other side of~lhe cabin. Batten down the companionway while I examine the deck. Two of you men come with me." We dropped over the low rail together, moving silently in our stocking- feet. The roof of the cabin, forming the quarter deck, extended clear to the rail. We groped over this shadowed space as though exploring a cave, encountering nothing except a few camp stools, although my fingers discovered a goodly sized boat swinging from davits across the stern. From the opposite side we could peer forward toward the dim light streaming from out the hatch, the deck being thus fairly revealed as far as the funnel. Beyond all remained black and impenetrable. A man sat upon a bench against the Bide of the galley, a dull red showing from his pipe bowl. His earliest knowledge' of our presence was when the two men closed on his windpipe, and I pressed a revolver muszle against his cheek. "Not a sound, Jack," I muttered sternly in Spanish, "or else your life pays for it." The pipe fell with a click to the deck, the fellow's eyes staring up at us, his opened mouth showing oddly amid a surrounding gray beard. A moment later, securely gagged and bound, we rolled his body close in against the rail. "I thought I heard a bit of a blow and a yelp on the fo'castle just now, sir," said one of the "men, pointing eagerly forward. I stood still, intently listening, staring into the gloom. "Quiet enough there at present Probably Mr. Tuttle has been attending to the for'ard watch. Come oft, lads, and we'll join forces with him." Beyond all doubt the main deck was clear as far as.the bridge, and, providing Tuttle's crew had attended to their share of the work, as far as the fo'castle head as well. We advanced cautiously, keeping close within the denser' shade along the weather rail, pausing a moment to peer over the edge of the open hatchway into the illuminated space below. Two Kanakas, naked to the waist, their slim, brown bodies glistening, each grasping the handle of a coal scoop, were backed up against a bulkhead conversing, while on a low stool, tipped t back to a comfortable angle, his feet C on the rounded crosspiece, a pipe in his mouth, his hands buried deep In his pockets, sat a white man, with red face and long. Bandy mustaches. His brown overalls and. pink undershirt told nothing distinctive, but the uniform cap, pushed well back on his bristling stock of hair, proclaimed him the vessel's engineer. As I drew back from this swift survey, Mr. Tuttle suddenly rounded the end of the charthouse, and, with whispered word of "Inquiry to one of the men, advanced to meet me. - "Well," I said as soon aa certain of his identity, "the after-deck Is ours without a blow: what have you dlscovered forward?" "Two men were posted on the fo'- castle, sir," he returned, the disagreeable nasal tone apparent even in hit subdued voice. "We got them both, but Mason was. pricked^wiUl » knife during the scuffle," . •Did 7<mdps* tbe wamaSrl Qtttstlo&ed briefly. »An f«t, ftrt}m i **»M u wr of the crew are below."

The Kanakas won't make any sor^ous trouble, bat you had better clap a gun to tho engineer." - " I watched them « r they swarmed like rats over the hatch-combing and dropped down into the light There -was) aiaeunrytafiof bodies, a sharp exchange of blows, a yelp of alarm from the startled Kanaka*, a stout volley of English oaths, and, when the tangle partially cleared away, the engineer waa lying flat on Mi back, the knee of the big linger at Rodriguez at his cheat, nnd. Tuttle holding a blue-barreled revolver a* his ear. I haver beheld as angrier man, hat be woe helpless as a baby. Assured of the future of the engine room, I mounted the •ten* and took a hasty surrey of both bridge and wheelhouse. They were unoccupied—the vessel waa entirely in our possession. CHAPTER VI. In Which We Attain the Open Sea. Our adventure had been successfully accomplished through its first step; now it remained to get safely out to sea. Aa I turned to retrace my steps to the deck I encountered De. Nova coming up. "Pretty lucky Job, monsieur," he said, jovially. ?Jt was w'at you call ze picnic, I bet. Ze companion was lock', an' ze guard posted. W'at more now for me?" "Relieve Mr. Tuttle In the engine room. Keep three men below there with you, and arm them as guards. Make the Kanakas do the firing, and hold the engineer to it with a gun at his head. You know enough about a stoke-hole to tell whether things are going right, don't you?" He nodded, and I could see the gleam of hiB white teeth. "Then get your steam up, but don't let those fellows fire so as to drive any flame out of the stack, and watch that Johnny Bull so that he can't put any kinks in the machinery. Don't take your eyes off him. Do you understand the signals?" "Ay, ay, monsieur." . i £ r t n ? S a r o ^ e T e ^ ^ wers> « * "You Damned Bloody Pirate I" He Yelled, Glaring at Me Savagely. "Then stand by. We'll tow out at once with the boats, but I want you ready for business the very moment we cast off tlio lines. Send all the rest of the men on deck and ask Mr. Tuttle to report to me here immediately." I was not kept waiting. Two men came stumbling up the companionway together. I peered at them, uncertain of their identity in the gloom. "Is th%t you, Mr. Tuttle?" "Yes, sit. This is Johnson, one of the wheelsmen; thought you would likely need him, so I brought him along." "Very good. Johnson, go on up into the wheelhouse and see that all is clear. I'll give you directions later. Mr. Tuttle, we'll tow out until we get the sweep of the sea fairly under our fore foot. Get the lines out to the boats at once, with full crew at the oars. You are to take command, and I shall have to trust you for the course, aa we can't risk signaling. I presume you are acquainted with the harbor lights?" "Been In here eight times in ten years without a pilot" "Then you ought to know the course, but take no chances; feel your way, only keep the ropes taut Have you any man fit to take charge of the second boat? I need De Nova below." "The boatswain, sir; that big fellow with the scar." What's his name?" "Bill Anderson." "All right; put him in the cutter. Leave me three men on deck, and post the beat one of the lot at the stern line ready to cast off. As soon as you get the ropes out I'll slip the anchor* chain, and leave the flakes In the mud. Work lively now; we must be well out at sea before daylight- He stood leaning, against the rail, shaditur nig eyec. "Have yotf spotted any goardboala with your sdaaaeaf" he questioned, uneasily, ^ V "Only that one yonder; see, the yellow U*ht just rounding the stem of that big brig. There waa a steam-launch out there to tbe west about 30 minutes ago, but it seems to hare* disappeared/* "Swallowed up in the fog Mkely," he admitted, snuffing the . sir like a pointer dog. '^WeH find it banked pretty heavy outside, or Tm a lubber. Well, so much the better for our job. All right, Mr. Stephens, I'm off, and well have you in tow in a Jiffy. Ill put the nigger at the stern line; he's the best all-round hand on board." However 1 may have disliked and distrusted the whaleman he certainly proved himself an able seaman and a smart officer. He comprehended every detail of bis work, and held his men to it finely. Within 20 minutes we were in motion, mowing slowly, yet steadily, toward the black vacancy outlined by the harbor lights on either hand. There was no disturbing sound to betray progress, the yacht's sharp cutwater cleaving its passage through the liquid with the merest faint ripple, scarcely leaving a gleam of wLite foam behind, the oars dipping silently, the two lines held taut to the strain. Exultant. I climbed once again to the bridge, gave a few directions to the observant Johnson standing motionless at the wheel, and leaned anxiously over the rail, studying the waterfront through leveled glasses,. It was a barren, deserted waste, ex* cept for a deeply laden schooner beating Blowly up along the north shore under etosely reefed topsails,1 and the gleaming lights of a large steamer just beginning to emerge faintly through the curtain of fog a trifle to the left of our course. The towing boats appeared as two insignificant blots on the surface, but. that they were making excellent progress was proved by the way we were steadily drawing up toward the outer lights, already shining round and yellow through the Increasing haze. How dark, silent, uncanny the gloom-enshrouded yacht appeared as I leaned over the tarpaulin-protected rail and gazed down on the deserted decks* no movement, no gleam of light anywhere visible. The two masts, for the vessel was schooner-rigged, rose rakishly and with noble sweep into the sky, yet I could trace little of the cordage against the expanse of cloud. They appeared skeleton-like reeds to be broken by a gust of wind. A slight fringe of white water alone marked our progress, while a misty vapor of escaping steam spoke of the chained engine and hissing boilers below. As I rested thus, the watchful Johnson grasping the spokes behind me, the momentous events of the past few hours swept through my mind like fragments of a strange, disconnected dream—my seemingly hopeless plight in Valparaiso; my controversy with Lieut. Sanchez; my brief meeting with the Englishman; the friendly eyes of Doris; the throb of sudden interest aroused by her presence and as quickly lost again; the sudden swinging of the pendulum of Fate; the approach of De Castillo bringing unexpected opportunity for action and escape, and those later events which had so rapidly followed. I struck my hand hard against the iron rail to assure myself I was awake, and to arouse my dormant faculties to action. "Hold her steady as she is, Johnson," I said, my voice tremulous from sud den awakening. "I'm gomg down to recall the boats." "Steady as she is, sir." In the engine room, two seamen, each grasping a gun, leaned negligently against a bulkhead, while De Nova, bare-headed, his little black mustache clearly outlined against the olive of his cheek, occupied the stool between of sight, but the red-faced engineer was on his knees tinkering ever a refractory bolt with a monkey-wrench. "BTenrtfeia* working all right Mr. De Nova?" I questioned, quietly. Tty» eyes of the four men instantly turned- toward me, the engineer straightening up, monkey-wrench tn hand. "NJe'~trouui*s here, monsieur," and the mate rose te his feet his white teeth showing.* "Were are we now?" "Just off. the point with the lighthouse dropping astern, and the swell of the ocean under our forefoot I am going to call in the boats. Have you plenty of coal?" "Bunkers all full, monsieur.'* "How Is your steam?" He stepped over to the gauge, peer lag at it across the burly shoulder of the engineer, who still stood staring at me. "Pretty near up to ze danger mark, monsieur." "Then stand by for signals." The engineer came to life as though treated to an electric shock, his flat' still grasping the monkey-wrench, suddenly extended, his red face purpling with passion. "You damned, bloody pirate!" he yelled, glaring at me aavegly. "It's hung the whole lot of you will be for this bloody night's work. No, I won't keep still, you moon-faced mulatto. I'm a- free-born Briton, an' I'll smash in the heads of some of you yet, an' I'll live to see the rest hung in chains for the bloody pirates you are. Just wait till you're caught, an' then you won't be grinnin' that way at an honest man. Oh, you'll git it all right my fine lads. There'll be hell to pay for this job, let me tell you! It's on nothln' you'll be dancin' then, you murderin* spawn o' hell!" De Nova pressed the barrel of a revolver into the man's neck, with a stern threat and an unpleasant gleaming of white teeth. The sailors remained leaning on their guns, grinning as if in enjoyment of the play. "Never mln' w'at he say, sir," and the mate glanced up toward me, as if in apology. *He bust out zat way ever' flv' minutes since we be down here. We have club him, two, free time, but he stick here just ze same, an' run ze engine. Oui, oui, it just ze way wiz ze bull-headed Englisher." "I see," I acknowledged, drawing back, "only watch that he doesn't kink the machinery." I was not in the least surprised at discovering one of his nationality in charge of the vessel's engine room, nor was I sorry. He would feel little real interest in the affair, after he once clearly comprehended the situation, while a native Chilean might be impelled by a spirit of patriotism to cause us serious trouble. Englishmen were very frequently met with in foreign engine rooms; this fellow had probably been picked up because of better qualifications than any native applicant; or, Indeed, he might have been a member of the original crew of the yacht before it was disposed of to the government. I would have a talk with him later; meanwhile he was certainly in good hands; and I had enough else to attend to. The tow-ropes came tn hand over hand, and were coiled dripping on the forecastle deck. At the end of them the two boats emerged from out the fog, and the men tumbled in silently over the rail. I watched from the vantage of the bridge, as the whole crew tailed onto the falls, distinguishing Tuttle's nasal tones above the incessant shuffling of feet. "Nor'west by nor', Johnson—now hold her steady, my lad." I pulled the signal cord, dimly distinguishing the faint responsive tinkle of the bell far beneath. Like a hound suddenly released for the chase, the steamer sprang forward into the fog wreaths and buried her sharp nose in the sea. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

EngliBh gold sovereigns were coined on the North American continent for the first time in 1908, when a limited number of these pieces were struck at the newly-opened Canadian mint at Ottawa. Permission to strike these coins, it is said, waa given by the British authorities as a special privilege to mark the beginning of operations and extended only up to December 31, 1908, after which the mint was to confine itself to making silver and bTonie coins.

Godchildren the*, were simple In their tastes, their wishes BO direct and to the point aa to render their gratification a m a t tor of little difficulty, and a Godmother skilled in turning pumpkins. into coaches, with a quick eye for the development of llsards Into footmen, and e pretty taste in princes, needed no farther qualifications for her practice. She was sure of making everyone per- Taetty n*PP7» which, an the world fcaows, is the whole duty of a Fairy Godmother. But aa years wore on, the times, even fairy times, grew out of joint Princes developed the disease of thought Princesses, not to be outdone, developed that, and nerves into the bargain, and gradually the life of a Fairy Godmother ceased to be worth living. The rat-and-pumpkin trick no longer pleased a careworn cynical generation, and for godmothers ignorant of mental science, unskilled In the subtleties of their craft. there was positively no career whatever. Amorette was a princess who lived in this lamentable decadence of the fairy age. She was the daughter of a rich king. By all the precepts of fairy-tale, Amorette should have been happy, and but for the disease of thought which for a princess she had contracted in a somewhat virulent form, this might have been the case. As it was, her Godmother, a singularly gifted and Bubtle fairy, who had specialized in all the new branches of her art, found Amorette the most difficult of all her godchildren, and it was with grave misgiving that one fine day. In response to an agitated summons from the princess, she stopped her coach before the great gates of the palace. "The child will soon be beyond me," she muttered, as she dismissed the crowd of bowing lackeys, with the remark that she would find the princess herself. "She will soon be beyond me, in spite of all my study. I wouldn't own that to Fredegonde, or to Hlldegarde," she went on (Fredegonde and Hildegarde were rival godmothers), "but It's true, all the same, and whatever the princesses of the present day are coming to, I don't know." With this gloomy reflection, she entered the rose garden, and discovered the princess seated In an arbor of white roses, crying bitterly. Just at this moment Amorette lifted a tear-stained face, and her Godmother entered the arbor. It really doesn't matter what her godchild was crying about It was a matter upon which, In the good old times, no princess would have wasted a tear. But that was before modern maladies had prevented princesses from enjoying themselves in this best of all possible worlds. "And now what can you do to help m e r she asked plteously, when she bad told her story. The Fairy Godmother was silent, while she racked her brains to think of some suitable charm. A squirrel ran along the branch of a hazel tree overhead and paused a moment to peer into the arbor before it sprang .put of sight. * *1 wish I were a squirrel,** mur- 1 mured the princess. x- "Oh, anything simple of that kind—" began the Fairy Godmother, greatly relieved, for she had been almost atrald that the princess would ask .for a changed heart i9 "Dear Godmother, my troubles will be ended directly I forget the misery of being human," Amorette assured her. But at this the Godmother merely smiled. Breaking a branch of hazel, she waved it three times around the princess' head, and a moment later a lfttyav brown furry creature, with j-Jr-bushy tail, and eyes such as no ^jfctfrrel aver had before or since, was •winging from branch to branch of a Mm&tree, in its eagerness to reach the sky. For a few daps there was a dellrl- •.oesly happy squirrel in the forest It exulted in the joy of movement; In the bird-like flight of its own light little body under the canopy of leaves; in the sense of freedom, the pleasant warmth of the sun, the delicious taste of the hazel nuts It cracked with Its •harp white teeth. "8he has perfectly mad eyes," said on* pretty young squirrel to another. letting a nut shell fall coquettlshly upon the head of her lover, who was sitting OOF a lower branch. "All the same, Plushkln is rather struck with her. Aren't you, Plush- • W a r "Interesting enough to talk to," returned Plushkln, twirling his long •% Whiskers, ."but not to marry. I should b# afraid of her. She's beyond me." . 14a4.»n«awciou8iy plushkln had hit upon the truth. She was beyond Mm by the whole sense of which he knew nothing; and that was the cause of loneliness. She found no little mate in the forest; for her there was no nestful of tiny creatures with soft furry heads. She waa always soli* tary and' in time the birds and beasts ceased to speak to her at all, passing her as they went about, their bust* neaa, with the quick sidelong glances they would have bestowed on human beings. And gradually even the beauty of the world grew to be more pain than pleasure, for she was at ways trying to understand i t The sunrise, the golden noonday hush, the mystery of star-lit nights, seemed to have no relation to the business of storing nuts. "What does it all mean?" the poor little squirrel asked herself again and again, as she cased with weary eyea at sunset clouds, an*1 hills clothed in iftrpie m i s t To her, n%> ture's beauty was like a song to which she could not hear the words, or like beautiful words to which she could not even guess a melody. Time passed, and one still evening there came a rustling in the under wood. Tall ferns were pushed aside, and a man and a woman came walk ing toward the pine tree, hand in hand, and presently sat down under Its shade. The man put his arm around the girl, and as he whispered to her, and she smiled, a squirrel sitting on the lowest branch listened with both its upright ears. It heard the words—they were foolish words, and to the squirrel they conveyed no meaning. Yet the girl blushed and smiled, and in her happy eyes there was something which puszled the listener so much that It could not rest "Come In!" said the Fairy Godmother the same evening, as she heard a nut dropped on her window sill, and a squirrel leapt into the room. "What were the man and the woman talking about In the forest?" It demanded breathlessly. "I knew the words, but they made no sense." "They were making love," said the Godmother in a voice of despair. "Love? What Is lover* asked the squirrel. And then, with a hopeless gesture the old lady put her hand upon the heart of the little furry creature. Instantly a squirrel with human eyes stood before her, and while she looked at it, tears began to glitter on its soft nose. But this was more than the Godmother could bear, so she hastily waved her hand three times, and in the little wood thing's place stood Amorette. "It's no good," said her Godmother. "You must be a mortal now, and I might as well own at once that I can be of no use to you." But the princess laughed through her tears, and kissed her. "You're the kJmdeet Godmother In the world,** she declared. "It isn't your fault that I've outgrown magic. Don't be sorry for me. T d rather be a human being than a squirrel after all. In spite of everything. And perhaps s o m e * * * * . " she smiled, without finishing the sentence. But the Godmother shook her head, for she knew the princess had not outgrown magic after all. "They, must have their charms/* she muttered, "they must have their charms. And woe betide them when they grow beyond hope, for it 4s the last of all their spells." '.- THE MYgTER»PU» BIRD.

It gives some interesting figures relative to the meat supply of the country And hears out the contention of the Armors and cattle men that there la a serious shortage in the supply of beef cattle and hogs. ' According to the report the supply of beef cattle in the country Is 1,100,- 000 head, below what It was on Jan. 1. 1900, the supply of hogs 6,365,000 short. To offset this, sheep have in* creased 1,132.000 in number, leaving the total shortage of meat animals for the year 7,333,000 head. But the report goes on to show that la spite of this falling off in the numbers of our meat animals, there has been no loss of wealth to the country, because the Increase in the value of those we have has far outrun the loss occasioned by the decrease in numbers. Our beef cattle are worth 168,699,000 more today than they were a year ago, our hogs are worth $81, .809,000 more, and our sheep 647,032, 000 more. To Curb Water Power Rates. Almost every section of the country will find subjects of interest In the preliminary report of the general waterways commission, submitted to congress. - This preliminary report recommends among other things: A general plan of conservation of water power, with the shaping of projection the light of future needs of streams. , a Resort to federal and state legislation rather than to unnecessary ehannel improvement merely to enforce reduction of rallread freight rates, with inhibition on the other hand of manipulation of such rates to freeze out water competition. A uniform system of distribution of cost of waterway Improvement between federal, state and local governments. Avoidance of multiplication of ports. Restriction of dam construction permits. Inauguration of such waterway projects only as can be completed within a reasonable time. Federal regulation of charges for power furnished to consumers. Reservation by the government of power to alter or repeal power rlsrhts. The commission holds that the federal government has no proprietary right or Interest In navigable waters, which would authorise the collection of tolls. It believes that each consent to construct a dam should provide the grantee whenever necessary to subserve navigation interests, must construct and furnish power for a lock suited to the locality and to probable traffic development. Power developed at government dams should be utilized and charged for. The commission records that grants should authorize the government to regulate the charge for the power furnished consumers and should expressly reserve to congress the right to alter, amend or repeal. Brought Money With Them. More than $90,000,000 worth of Americans were exported to Canada last year. That, at least, is the effect of immigration from the United States to Canada in 1909.

I used CuTtcura Soap to wash her with and then applied Cutlcura Ointment I did not use quite half the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment, together with Cutlcura Resolvent, when you could see a change and they cured her nicely. Now she is eleven years old and has never been bothered with eczema since. My friends think it is just great the way the baby was cured by Cutlcura.

Good Cellar Ventilation. If the house is set close to the ground the cellar windows must be wide enough to compensate for their lack In height and must be set opposite each other in order to insure good draft A method that is sometimes used is to dig out a space in front of a window, making a little area which, lard in either brick or atone, may be whitewashed and reflect light Into the cellar aa.shown; It also allows of sinking the cellar window deeper and obtaining better ventilation. SAWBUCK MADE ADJUSTABLE One Shown In Illustration That Will Commend Itaetf to Every Farmer In 8awlng toga. An adjustable sawbuok which is shown herewith will commend itself Horse for Holding Logs. to every farmer who has to saw large or long logs, says Farm and Home. It is made by boring a two-inch hole in two crotched logs and inserting a 8tout cross stick in these holes. This forms a pair of tripods which may be set in any position and for any size of logs. Runners for Plank Sled. A and B are the runners of the plank Bled shown in the accompanying illustration and are made of two- Inch plank 10 inches wide and 8½ feet long. The cross pieces are made of 2x4 material, three feet four inches long; and are mortised into the side planks as shown, and spiked together. World's Whest Crop. Broomhall's final estimate of the 1909 wheat crop of the world, places the total wheat production of the wheat acreage of the world at 3,347 million bushels, an increase of 285 million bushels over the production In 1908, a 427 million bushel Increase •over tho crop of 1907. The production in Europe aggregated 1,872 billion bushels, being 160 million bushels over the 1908 crop. The crops of North and South America reaches 1,040 million bushels, or 80 million bushels over last year. It is likely that this great production will not be more than enough to supply the demands of the world'a population. Scientific Farming In America. Great Britain's ambassador, James Bryce, was the chief speaker at the 29th annual meeting of the National Farmers' congress, at Raleigh, N. C, recently. He declared that the problem of scientific farming is one of the most important now before the world, and that American farmers lead all others in getting results whenever they make up their minds to follow that vocation purely from a scientific standpoint Beware ef Fire. Give the man who is inclined to smoke in the barn a kindly invitation to do his smoking somewhere else. Ia half, an hour one spark of fire can undo the work of years. How to Save Corn. Soma farmers neglect the 25 to «0 cents that the battening of cracks in the coop would cost, and each month feed a dollar's worth of extra corn In order to supply the animal heat needed. Do Away with Middlemen. Moat at the Urge olive growers la Spain nave tiitlr owa mills for tilt extraatioa of the oil. Vitality of 8eeda. The period for which the seeds of different plants maintain their vitality varies a good deal. The seeds of Borne vegetables are worthless after they are two years old, while the seeds of other plants improve with age until a certain period. For Instance, the seeds of artichokes are good until they are three years old; asparagus, four years; beans two years; kidney beans, one year; beets, ten years; broccoli, four years; cabbage four years; carrot, one year; cauliflower, four years; celery, ten years; corn, three years; cucumber, ten years; eggplant, three years; endive, four years; kale, four years; leek, two years; lettuce, three years; melon, ten years; pea, two years; pumpkin, ten years; radish, four years; salsify, two years; spinach, four years; squash, four years; tomato, two years, and turnips, four years. Pay Cash. . The farmer should never hesitate to borrow money when by doing so he can take advantage of the market and save several times the amount of interest he would be required to pay in the purchase of some needed supplies for the farm. No man ever got rich by the use of his hands alone, and no farmer can make a success of his business without taking advantage of every opportunity offered to reduce the expense account. Takes a Dive In Hla Sleep. A Liverpool man who had read Rider Haggard's "Allan Quatermam" just before going to bed the other night, had such a vivid dream that he was diving from a rock—an incident that figures in the story—that he took a header from the bed to the floor, a deed that nearly resulted In his death from concussion of the brain. Electricity on Farms. At the Ramsdell farm in Minot, Me., electricity runs the feeding gear, rings an alarm for the hired hands, operates four clocks, sounds an alarm of chicken thieves and fires, saws wood, runs a threshing machine, separator, -cornsheller, grindstone, fanning mill and sewing machine. Chemical Fertilizers. Chemical fertilisers used haphazard are often a poor Investment Used with care and calculation, they pay welL Good-Crop Rotation.

Ht Is a Frenchman. He had but a little over two dollars in bis pocket, thus being snort over seven dollars of the" ton dollars required to secure entry for a homestead of one hundred and sixty acres. Ht eventually borrowed the money and near Forget, Saskatchewan, he started Ufa in Canada on the homestead In which to-day he ia the fortunate possessor of fifty quarter sections of land, or 8,000 acres. Now Mr. Ouulomin did not acquire all these acres as a result altogether of his farming operations, which were extensive. He looked with satisfaction upon what he was doing on his limited area, he was saving, careful, and had foresight Surrounding land could be had for about $3.00 per acre, and he continued buying as hla savings would permit until now ht has fifty quarter sections, soma of which he can sell at $26.00 per acre. Threshed Fifty Thousand Bushsls. This year he was engaged in threshing on bis place for 5 4 ^ days. He threshed out 60,000 bushels of wheat of which he sold 34,000 bushelav*one train load, at a price varying from 84 to 87 cents per bushel. Ht has oh hand still 16,000 bushels. In addition to wheat he raised 30,000 bushels of oats, 7,000 bushels of barley and 600 bushels of flax. He owns 104 horses and a number of cattle, but since the construction of the railway he has been engaged chiefly in raising wheat This year he bought his first threshing machine, paying for it the sum of $2,100. He estimates that the machine earned for him this fall $3,000, thus paying for itself in one season and leaving $900 to the good. The weather was very propitious for farm threshing, not a single.day being lost in the two months which were spent in this work. The wheat averaged 23 bushels to the acre and graded No. 1 and No. 2 Northern. In the past nine years seven good crops have been harvested on this farm.4* For six successive years the returns were excellent that is in the years 1901, 1902, 1903, 1904, 1905 and 1906. In the two following years there was a partial failure. As the years have passed the quality of the buildings on the farm have been steadily improved, and are now as good as can be found in the district. About $10,000 has been invested in this way by Mr. Ouillomin. The farm consists of 6,880 acres, of which about 6,000 acres were under crop this season. The Modern Polonlus.

Special S e r v i c e * Closed. in n i • •! i m The union special evangelistic serv i c e that have been i n progress here the past two weeks under the direction of Evangelist George Gable, of 111., closed Monday evening with a good service and a shp/t reception at t be close of the meeting when all remained for a few moments to have a last .handshake with one who has won his way to so many hearts during bis short stay among us. While perhaps the outward results have not been so manifest as at times before, there seems to be a feeling aroused among the members ot the churches for better and a closer walk with God aud we shall be much mistaken ff we do not see results "after many days" yea, after many years. Mr. Gable is certainly a man of God and no one can point to a word or aotion that was net in accordance with the true spirit of Christianity. He enjoys a lauxh or ioke as well as any onrt and bis lauub is one of true merrimentt However, when it comes to the matter of seeking the salvation of sonU his great heart reaches out to all. It has certainly been a feast for those who love the Lord and many others have given' manifestations that they have been greatly benefited. At the close of the service, Prof. Hugh McDougall, in behalf of the many friends of Mr. Gable, in a few well ohosen words, ptesented him with a fine silver shaving set and gold cuff links, also a silk handkerchief.

Several new things bad been added to the program as published last week, which we had to forego the pleasure of hearing on account of the train and lateness of the hour; never the less we gathered a lew thoughts which we present to you. Mrs. E. N. Braley of Plaintield read a paper, 4kA Chat witL Farmers," which brought out many wholesome : thoughts. Farming is a profession, as j well as any other, business is a profes-1 sion, and taKes no longer hours than? any other profession. Don't ait on , street corners discussing failures but! spend your time at borne mending : harnesses and picking up other loose ends. Make a thorough scientific business oi your farming and yonr I farm will be a place of business as well as profit. Little Margaret Kubn pleased the audience with a solo after which the utate speaker, W. S. Taylor, gave a talk on "Feeding and Caring for the Dairy Cow.1' He said the farmer mast study and know bis own herd to &et the most out of your cow, no set rules can be laid down,for every farmer be We Are Dropping you a word of advice about colds and grip.

Glaaier, It !• the sentence of this cqurt that you be confined- In the Bute's prison at Jackson for not more than 10 years nor leae, than five years; and it is the recommendation of the court that' you serve 10 y«ars." This was the sentence of Frank P. Glazier, as pronounp^d by Judge Howard Wiest of the Ingham circuit court at Mason. After two years of strenuous legal warfare, Frank P. Glasier, former state treasurer, banker and manufacturer, bowed to the law be had violated In using the funds of the state and the deposits of tie bank for his personal ends. Ten years in Jackson prison was the maximum sentence that could be imposed, and In passing sentence Judge Wiest Bcored the prisoner for his acts. Glasier stood it well until sentence was passed, and then wept in the arms of his wife. He was immediately taken from the courthouse to the Jail across the street, where he collapsed utterly and gave way to his grief. Nothing was saved from the wreck of the Giasier fortune but the home In Chelsea and the summer home at Kavaoaugh lake, and it is this property which must support the family. Frank P. G'asier is now convict No. 9112 in Jackson prison. He, with his wife, arrived in Jackson at 3:25 Saturday afternoon in custody of Sheriff Cllne of Ingham county and another officer. Glasier walked to the prison Immediately on arriving at the depot and was taken to the hall-master's office. Warden Wenger gave bin his number and after the parting with his wife the embetsllng ex-treasurer was placed In a cell. Both Glazier and Mrs. Glazier broke down when the time came for them to part. They were given an opportunity to say a few words, during which time those present in the room turned their heade. Mrs. Glazier wept on her husband's shoulder, and Glazier, in tears, attempted to comfort her. The parting was declared by the hardened prison attaches to be the saddest ever seen at Jackson prison. There were half a dozen in the room, including prison employee and' newspaper men, and there was not a dry eye among them. Glazier was given permission to see the newspaper men, but he said he had nothing to say. Mrs. Glazier was taken to the home of the warden after the parting, and after remaining in the hall-master's office for a short time her husband was placed in a cell. State and M. C. Reach 8ettlernent. Following a long conference between Attorney-General Bird, special state's counsel, Thomas E. Barkworth, and Otto Kirchner, Mr. Bird announced at noon Saturday that the suits pending between the state and the Michigan Centra] Railroad Co. are to be compromised if th<» auditors consent. The basis on which the settlement is'made is that the railroad's suit for $6,000,000 and the state's for $4,000,- 000 are dropped and the company pays the state $125,000 for legal expenses. The easefe have been pending in the courts for years. In 1889 the state repealed the special charter of thft railroad. In December, 1901, the Michigan Central Instituted suit for $6,000,000 damages against the state for the repealed charter. Henry Russell. Ashley Pond of Detroit, John G. Milburn of New York and John G. Johnson of Philadelphia represented the railroad. The case went to the supreme court twice. In 1904 the state came back with a counter-suit for $4,000,000 back taxes on the grounds that the road had concealed assets. Two years were Hpent by state officials in gotng through, the books of the company. The settlement, of the suit, if approved by the auditors will mean the close of the biggest damage case that*the state was ever mixed up in. Boiler Breaks; Two Killed. The bursting of a boiler tube in tie Flint Electrio Light Co.'s power house Monday night instantly killed Eli Crump, 52, and an unknown man, both firemen, in the employ of the company. The men had just finished putting coal beneath the boiler and were standing in front of the fire box doors when the tube snapped, filling the room with scalding water and steam. Cramp was blown across the room into the stoker's room, 20 feet away. The hot steam prevented rescuer* from getting the other man out of the room until 40 minutes later. The second man came to the company's offices Sunday afternoon and applied for work. He was apparently It years old, was of slender build, and had dark, curly hair. ynmu Itr.

Sixty-eight lives were lost. The, explosion occurred in the No. 3 shaft of the coal mine of the Eeoeranxaa Mining Co., and la attributed the ignition of gas from the flame a miner's cigarette, who waa smoking contrary to taa rules. The,miners, oonalaUngt pgn^ipaJly of Mexicans and Japanese, had assumed their places In the workings Shortly after 7 o'clock About 8:30 o'clock thoae at work above ground heard a loud explosion and almost instantly a vast cloud of dust and smoke shot from the mouth of the shaft. Rescuers Go Below. Assistance was Immediately forthcoming and as soon as the air In the shaft could be purified sufficiently to permit rescuers to desoend many volunteers were ready to risk their lives in an endeavor to succor thlr stricken brothers below. A cage was immediately sent down, followed later by two others, all loaded. When the cages descended and the men had made an examination of the first and second levels, everything was found to be intact and beyond being frightened the men working in these levels were safe. They were brought to the top as rapidly as the cages oould be loaded. The rescue party continued its explorations and went down to the third level and as soon as'the air could be cleared entered the shafts in search of the dead. Scattered about in various positions tney found the bodies of the men, suffocated, their faces indicating in many instances the hopeless fight they had waged, The rescuers Immediately began to work In relays, searching for and carrying to the surface the bodies of the dead and dying. Forty Injur.d Taken Up. After six hours' work 53 bodies were brought to the surface, while nearly 40 injured men were removed to hospitals for treatment. *fhe injured owe their fscape to the fact that they were working at points in the third stage of the workings, where they were pracically protected from the rush of foul air. As the bodies were brought to the surface, screaming women and children were congregated about the mouth of the shaft. Most of the killed were Mexicans, the Japanese miners being employed In other parts of the mine. As soon as the authorities learned of the explosion, state representatives were sent to the scene and placed in charge of the work of rescue and investigation. Fcod for Victims' Families. A report of the explosion and a deduction as to the probable cause—explosion of mine damp—was at once telegraphed to the governor of the state of Goahuila and Saltillo, and an answer returned instructing the local authorities to take such action as they deemed necessary. The mining company's officials lost no time in making provision for the care of the injured. An order was telegraphed to Monterey and Eagle Pass for coffins and food has been provided for the suffering families. The Palau mine is one of the best equipped coal mines in Mexico. It has an adequate ventilating system, is provided with electric lights and the mining officials are at a loss to account for the present mine damp.

As an indication of the force of the crusade against tuberculosis, the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a bulletin issued recently points to the fact that while 63.6 per cent, ef the expenditures for tuberculosis in 1909 were made from public resources, appropriations made for 1910 indicate that over 75 per cent, of the money to be spent this year will be from fed' eral, state, city' and county funds. In 1909, out of the $8,180,621.« spent for the prevention, and treatment of tuberculosis, $4.362,750.03 was spent (rom public money, and $8,817,871.47 from funds voluntarily contributed. JFor the carrying on of state, federal and municipal tuberculosis work in 1910, over $9,000,000 has been appropriated. Of this sum, the state legislatures have granted $4,100,60#, the municipal and county bodies, $3,975,- 500 and the federal government, $lj000,000. The Important Part.

If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skill* fully selected food that exactly flta the requirements of the body. Poor fuel makes a poor fire, and a poor fire is not a good steam producer. "From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would never bo able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heartburn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I literally became a living skeleton and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. "A few months ago I was persuaded to try Qrape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up Its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested i t It proved to be Just what I needed. "All my unpleasant symptoms, the heart-burn, the inflated feeling which gave me such pain disappeared. My weight gradually Increased from 98 to 116 lbs.; my figure rounded-out, my, strength came hack, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. Grape-Nut* did it." A ten days? trial will ahow anyone soma facts about food. Look in pkgs. for the little book, "The Road to Wellville."

Barty dawn reached ua tn sodden gray, the sun a shapeless blob of dull red, with no vestige or its golden light forcing passage through those dense cloud* of misty vapor closing us in as between curtained walla. The •well of the sea was not heavy, but the pervading gloom gave to the surrounding water a peculiarly sullen appearance, through which we tore, reckless of accident, at full speed. A new hand was at the wheel, Johnson having gone below an hour since, but I still clang to the bridge, my eyes heavy from peering forth into the fogbank, my clothing sodden with the constant drip. Only a few of the men were visible, three or four grouped about the capstan on the forecastle head, and as many more gathered along the lee side of the charthouse. Evidently regular watches were already chosen, and a portion of the crew had been turned in for the|r trick below. Tuttle himself, clad in wet; glistening oil-skins and looking gaunt and cadaverous, his chin-beard forking straight out over the high collar, was standing aft, beside the fellow who still kept guard over the companion. I moved across to the starboard end of the bridge, and, when he glanced around, made signal for him to join me. "Not very much chance of any one overhauling us in this fog, Mr. Tuttle," I said, pleasantly. "It would be like hunting a needle in a haystack." "Tts as the Lord wills," he returned, rather sourly. "Man proposes, but God disposes. The sun will lift that whole outfit in another hour. How far do you figure we're off shore?" "Figure It for yourself. We're doing all of 16 knots, and have been for four hours at that speed. With another to be added, even our smoke ought to be below the horizon. We've given them the slip all right, and from now on It's merely a question of steaming to keep ahead. I don't recall anything In the Chilean navy that can overhaul us. What discoveries have you made below?" He turned his crafty, glltering eyes toward me, twisting the lump of tobacco under his tongue. In some way, beneath the revealing daylight, I became even more distrustful of the man, more conscious of his hypocrisy. "Not a great deal," his mouth attempting a grin; "except that we've got the crew caged. Everybody was ashore but the harbor watch." "Then you found the forecastle empty?** "Nothin* there but dunnage and bilge water; regular sea-parlor, sir." ."And no officer on board?" I asked, scarcely believing it possible. "None, barring the engineer, so far at Kknow. The cabin was locked up by yotrr orders, so I let that alone." "And that, then, is all you have discovered. Is it, Mr. Tuttle?" He shifted his long legs, but made nd effort to turn and face me. "Wall, I guess that's about the whole of t C he answered, slowly, as though deliberating over the choice of words. "Only I'm ,a bit pussled about some thing* what don't took Jost right. We started out, as I understand it, to run off with a Chilean warship nagteftV the Ksmeralda, a schoonerrigged steam yacht.

"Tec know as wen as I do that the entire Chilean navy Is •lied with foreigners." i M8arcvM he coincided* with a swift, questioning glance toward me; "that's all true enough, sir, but I never saw a whole crew of those beggars as' a s Ctfiean bos***"•sol. But then thaff only a part of It Every oae of them email "boats down the**; an' the lifepreservers haogin' in front of the cabin, have got the name Sea Queen painted on them. Dam' if it ain't, here, too, on this tarpaulin." I beat over the rail looking down at the lettering be pointed out. yet with no feeling of uneasiness. "Beyond doubt, that was the yacht's name before the Chilean* government purchased her and 'renamed her Esmeralda for their service. She wee bought from English parties, I've heard. Probably the new owners have found no opportunity to repaint the name." Tuttle drew forth a red bandanna and blew his nose, his voice more sul evJte tree that I tmlgat have "See Here, Mr. Tuttle, Kindly Explain What You Are Driving At." tenly insolent as he resumed speech. "Glad ye take it so cool, an' maybe yer right. However, it looks dam' odd to me." I glanced aside at the wheelman apprehensively. The fellow was gazing straight ahead of him into the rapidly thinning fog. It was the manner of the mate more than his words that impressed me. "See here, Mr. Tuttle," and I dropped my hand rather heavily on his sleeve, "kindly explain exactly what you are driving at. Do you intend to insinuate that we have made a mistake in the dark, and run of with the wrong vessel? Why, man, that is impossible. We are sailors, not landlubbers. Roth of us have had chances to see the Esmeralda, and you certainly knew where she was moored yesterday." "Well, when I come to think it over, I don't feel quite so everlastingly sure about that. The mind o' man Is mighty deceitful," he admitted, slowly. "You see, I never saw her any closer than maybe a mile, an' even then she was half hid behind other shippin'. Of course I took notice of her outline an' rig, but I didn't pay much attention to details. To-night we was all of us excited, an' colors don't show up much in the dark! Now, her funnel is painted red, an' unless I'm a liar the Esmeralda's was black with a yaller stripe round the top. You see. Mr. Stephens, we kept in pretty close under cover all yesterday, an' maybe they hauled the Esmeralda up to the government docks, and run another boat into her anchorage." I laughed aloud, not in the least impressed with his argument. "A very likely story that there were two vessels in that harbor so near alike as to deceive all of us." He remained stubbornly silent, evidently unconvinced, plucking at his chin-beard. "There is a certain way of settling the matter," I went on, decisively, "that is, by an examination of the papers in the cabin. Take charge of the bridge, and I'll run down and clear up this affair beyond any further controversy. We may even have one of the ship's officers stowed away there, sleeping off his late celebration. If there la, he's due for a rude awakening. Keep the yacht's head as she is, and 111 be back directly." 1 waa aware that be watched me closely as t descended the steps, but fell Httle interest in such surveillance.

Nevertheless the the. con- \ mere suspicion was irritating, leaving ate tiled with a vafue unrest It was Esmerajde i s 1*Am. eft* appssasion to study her linet with oars at any time.

If vw« were, indeed, os board the wroag vessel, it was toots no Isnoceai mistake e! the darkless, but rather the result of deliberate plan, the raM purpose of which was beyond my comprehension. I swore savagely under my breath, even as 1 laughed sarcastically at the vague suspicion, aroused largely, as 1 «eU realised* by my increasing dislike of the ea-whaleman The wrong ship? Why, the 'very conception of such sa sirrtdesit was grotesque, ridimiloiiSj jEs* yoad belief! It was the hallucination ol a tool. One of the men assisted me to unbar the" slide across the companlonway, and, bidding him stand by ready for a hall, 1 started below, my fingers en the brass rail, my feet firm os the rubber-lined stairs. These led into as handsome a seaparlor as ever I remember gating upon. Everything was effective and in elaborate taste, evidencing aa expenditure that made me stare about la amasement So deeply did It impress me that I remained there grasping the the rail, gating about in surprise, hesitating to press my investigations further. Tet this feeling was but momentary, the very desertion and s i fence qoickJyeoMinctog me that the cabin contained no occupants. The movement of the vessel, the trampling of men on the deck, and the ceaseless noiee of the screw were more noticeable here than forward, and no seaman, however overloaded with liquoi he might have been the night before, could have slept undisturbed through the hubbub and changes of the past few hours. Inspired to activity by this knowledge, and eager to settle the identity of our prize. I began closer examination of that Impressive interior, although not entirely relieved from the spell of its royal magnificence. Six doors, three upon each side, opened off from the main cabin. The fulllength mirrors occupied the spaces between, and the doors themselves were marvels of decoration and carving. Another, beneath the stairs, led directly Into the steward's pantry, and revealed, besides, a passageway leading forward, probably to the lazarette amidships. The others, as I tried their brass knobs, exhibited merely comfortable staterooms, fitted up for officers' use; three contained two bunks each, the others only one. Four of the beds had been carefully made, but the remainder were in disorder, as though quite lately occupied. Everything impressed me as unusually clean and neat, evincing strict discipline. The only desk I noticed was a roll-top affair, securely locked, and with no litter of papers lying anywhere about. This, I figured, was probably the berth of the first officer; the captain's room would naturally be the one farthest astern. The uprlerht piano, with the highbacked cushioned chairs surrounding it, blocked my view aft, but on rounding these I observed a closed door, which apparently led into a room extending the entire width of the cabin. Never suspecting that it might be occupied, I grasped the brass knob, and stepped within. Instantly I came to a full stop, dazed by astonishment, my teeth clenched In quick effort at self-control. The entire scene burst in upon my consciousness with that first surprised survey—the draped portholes opening out upon the gray fog-bank, the brass bed screwed to the deck, the chairs upholstered In green plush, the polished table with a vase of flowers topping it, the glistening front of a book-case In the corner, the tiger rug into which my fe.et sank. All these things I perceived, scarcely realzing that I did so. for my one true impression concentrated itself upon the living occupants. There were two present. At a low dressing table, her back toward me, fronting a mirror, yet with eyes fastened upon an open book lying in her lap, sat a woman. The lowered head yielded me only an Indistinct outline of her features, yet the full throat and rounded cheek gave pledge of both youth and beauty. Standing almost cvectly behind her chair, with short, curly locks, crowned by a smart white cap, her hands busied amid her mist*esses' tresses, was a maid, petite, roguish, fluttering about like a humming bird. The latter saw me at once, pausing in her work with eyes wide open In surprise, but the preoccupied mistress did not even glance up. She must have heard the sound of the door, however, for she spoke carelessly: "I thought you were never coming. What caused you to sail so suddenly?" These unexpected words, uttered so naturally, served partially to arouse me from the dull torpor of surprise. I olenched my hands, wondering if I was really awake, and stared back into the frightened eyet of the maid, who appeared equally incapable of articulation. Suddenly the found voice. "It It sot se one. mtdaroe," the cried, shrinking back. "Non. nan; It la ua homme stranger." "Whet it that yea say, Celester sad the ether arose swiftly to her last lbs oasa boos: ilnmoisa i s .thsu. floor as she turned to face me, Is* •ts*>* ft mapped >•*, K[it)i*t <* balaw her wsietr-ft^eognised toer F#» a sudden^etp upward of my heart Into my taomt.

She leaned forward, oae white hand grasping the back of her chair, the expression la her eyes changing as the read my face, perplexity merging into faint recollection. "1—-I do not «ulte comprehend," the confessed at last, changing her speech to a slightly broken Spanish. "You —you are Senor Estevan?" CHAPTER VIII. In Which I Begin Discovery. Stunned by this abrupt disclosure of the extremely dangerous predicament we were In, I found no immediate voice for reply, merely standing there as it petrfBed, ttaring st them both, cap in hand, grasping the edge of the door. Their faces swam before me in the gray light streaming through the stern porta; the maid already attempting a smile,, as though her fears had subsided, the mistress viewing me in wondering perplexity. She it was who first succeeded in breaking the embarrassing silence. "But, senor, what does this all mean? Why are you here on board the yacht?" With strong effort at control I brought my tenses together, desperately fronting the disagreeable situation, feeling myself scarcely less a victim than she. If all that 1 now dimly suspected proved true, about us both were being drawn the cords of treachery. "I cannot explain, madame," I began lamely enough. "At least not until I comprehend the situation better myself than I do now. It is all dark. I have reason to believe a most serious mistake has been made—one It will be very difficult to rectify. Perhaps I could see more clearly If you would consent to answer a few question. May I ask them of you?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) YOUTHFUL SCOT WELL VERSED.

Boston, Massachusetts, has long enjoyed the reputation of having exceedingly learned children who are able, so it is said, to dispute on subjects far above the heads of their elders of oth er regions. But Boston Is not unique. In a book entitled "The Scot of the Eighteenth Century" Ian Maclaren describes a similar characteristic of the Caledonian. It is the inevitable tendency of the Scot's mind to follow out every line to its terminus, even If it be over t precipice, and to divide every hair till infinity is touched.

RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS *1 had ectema on my hands for ten years. I had three good doctora but none of them did any good. I then used one box of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent' and was completely cured. My hands were raw all over, inside and out, and the eczema was tpretding all over my body and limbs. Before I had used one bottle, together with the Cuticura Ointment, my sores were aearly healed over, and by the time I had used the third bottle, I was entirely well. To any one who hat any skin or blood disease I would honestly advise them to fool with nothing else, but to get Cuticura and get well. My hands have never given me the least bit of trouble up to now. "My daughter's hands this summer became perfectly raw with ectema. She could get nothing that would do them any good until she tried Cuticura. She used Cuticura Resolvent and Cuticura Ointment and in two weeks they were entirely cured. I have used Cuticura for other members of my family and it alwayt proved successful. Mrs. M. E.

Plowing in part of soil cultivation and in many instances 4 or 5 inches is plenty deep enough and even good cultivation is better than plowing if the soil is in the right condition, like after corn or peas on which you wish to sow wheat. On heavy clay loam it may be necessary to plow 7 or 8 inches. I believe with the paper that many plow too deep, especially on light soils. In raising corn, and that is one of the best crops even for a Michigan farmer, we must have moisture and if a dry * seuson and it U not tiled we rat?st supply moisture by thorough cultivation. Perpbaps more corn can be grown in a orooked row of corn than a straight one, but yon cannot cultiyate it as well and that you must 1o, so plant it straight by all m'eans. For soil feed there is no crop we can tie to like clover. We must learn to laise more alfalfa as that is more sure than common clover and supplies more teed. We must have waterV humus, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, these can be supplied by ma-oy of the fertilizers, but there is none better than raising stock—sheep or cows especially. While I am not advertising any kind of a manure spreader, I will say that I think there is no more paying or useful machine for the farm as it puts the manure where you want it and evenly. Some advocate the subsoil plow but I think there is no better plow of that kind tban clover—it does its work and also gives you a return in feed. The man who arrows clover and raises stock will not have to buy nitrouan C o n t i n u e d Next W e e k . BAKE-DAY.

A About the. "time the deacon lost his wife Mrk Samautfta Taylor?'living in the same village, lost tier husband. She also, had a-thirty-.foot monument in her mind, and she also scaled it down to a plain, cheap stone. Further, there came u time when gossip criticised her for the unmarked grave, and sue set about doling something. She bad removed to another village, bnt gossip follows one everywhere. It thus came about* one summer day. when the deacon drove out to: the country graveyard to fix tip things, h<? found the widow there for the same object The graves of their dead were not fifty feet apart. The deacon bad a look of sorrow on. his face and the widow had tears in her eyes as, they shook hands. "He was a noble man," said the deacon, referring, of course, te the lamented Taylor. "And she was ail that a wife should .be," replied, the ' widow, referring, of coarse, to the lamented Mrs. Piatt.' "I am glad to know tkat you mourn him." > "And I am glad to M o w that you mourn her.V "Her time bad come, and she had to go." "And the/Same with him." The weeds had to be eleared away and the mounds rounded up and sodded and the stones set. They worked together at this. They Borrowed for about half an hour, and then it was something else. When their.backs ached and they were ready to quit work for the day the deacon helped her into her bujjgy with the remark: "I have seemed to feel Mrs. Piatt looking down on me this afternoon." "And I hare felt the presence of my dear lost husband." she replied. Then they both looked very solemn, and she drove away to return on the morrow and find the deacon there before her. He repeated that her lamented was a noble man, and she repeated that his lamented was all that a wife should be. They out down and lugged away weeds and briers and brought dirt and sods, and when they rested they sat close together on an i old bench. It was during one of these j resting spells that the deacon sighed i three times in Succession and said: "Widder Taylor, -when night had ' come and you were sitting alone in ] your lonesoraeness did you ever think i it possible that you could find another j man as good as George was?" j "Why, while he was a noble man, | there must be other noble men in the j world." she replied. i "Yes, widder, and other noble worn- ! en, though I never had no fault to flud with Banner. I am sure w e loved •em." i "Yes, we did." 1 "And it prrleved us to see them go." "It did." j "But they are better off in that! ' brighter land." ; Then they parted and went home, i and it was noticeable that neither J looked as solemn as before. They were not smiling, but the solemn looks had somehow chased themselves away. The next day was to see the end of their work, and they both got there early. The deacon seemed to press the widow's hand when he helped her out of the buggy, and she seemed a bit confused over it, but this may have been all imagination. By midafternoon the stones were In place, and as they retreated a few paces to survey them the deacon solemnly said: "Widder, if your lost husband can look down on earth he i* seeing that stun and saying to himself that it's good enough for anybody." "Yes," she sighed, "and your Hanner must say the same thing. We could have got monuments, of course, b u t " - "But m«uuine«ts attract lightning." finished .the deacon. "And are blown over in high winds." "And crows use them to roost on. Yes, I think our lost ones ought to feel (autre chirpy. We have the beat two tots here." "And they are picturesunoly situated, deacon." Then the deacon led bur out to the gate and, her tmggy. They walked at a slow pace, and neither seemed to notice that he was holding her hand. : "When she had been seated In the vehicle the den eon r*»r«t » ***** ftn,'. •Til 4* eg^friMty'*.

Long before the Christian era the Romans celebrated the feast of the Lupercalla—the Joint festival of Juno and Pan-—on February 15 each year. Pan waa a rustic god. formed in similitude of nature, whence he was called Parf, whlcti means "all." It was feigned * by <he poets that be struggled with J-ove acd was conquered by him and it became proverbial that "Lover conquers all, Omnia Vlnclt Amor." Juno, wits the goddess of marriage, the "yolter" of yotttas snd maidens. In the year of our Lord A. D. 496 Roman you the and maidens still were celebrating the Lupercalla. st which the names of* young women were,cast tnto aor art;and draws by bHrrtfol<Jed .matt,; T»|t maid thus drawn was the young man's "vslen tlue" and the association resulting from this drawing of lots usually lasted for a year. The festival ended In an extravagant feast, and. ouite often. In scandalous orgies. This sort of thing became offensive to the church and, Pope Gelaslus ordered a change. Now, H so happened that one of the most .austere saints In the Christian calendar, good Bishop St. Valentine, had been put to death, during the Clandian persecution, on February 14, A. D. 270, for the simple miracle of opening the blind eyes of his Jailer's daughter. Accordingly the day of the festival was changed to February 14 and the name of the good bishop substituted for the old one. The names he drew. How long the Christian youth "stood for" Ibis we have no meant of knowing but 8L .yeletttlae's aatae atuok to the day henceforward. It seems, however, that in the sixteenth century, in Prance, the boys were choosing girls' names and the girls boys' names, so that each had two valentines; and ar*.ln we find the church Interfering. This time It was the Bishop St. Francis de Sales who ende.vored to suppress this survival or Paganism by the same old device which Pope Gelaslus had tried Uut good St. Francis reckoned with due consideration for human nature, the spring of youth and love making, which after all ex lata In Christian youth aB well as pagan. And so the young people triumphed over this saint and returned by,degrees to their heathenish practices and cavalier* nd lady, by lot. exchanged smiles and silken favors. Balls and fetes were given In honor of the festal day and In some places the tendeT bond endured for av year, according to the old Roman custom. It behooves the man, woman or child who expects to send out love messages this February 14 to do the shopping at once, for the valentine trade Is not only beavter this year than ever before, but it began earlier, the middle of January seeing purchases made, while at the more popular book shops orders were placed before the Btodr arrived. Foresljjhted hostesses, making plans for valentine parties, made purchases by the, do«en. and the result has been that many of the novelties have been snapped up before they were unpacked. The variety remaining la a large one. however, for the trade proves to be one of extreme*, and, while the postals are the prime favorites, at leant 40 per cent, of the business is attracted to the large, hand-painted valentines of lace paper, celluloid snd satin. Teddy bear postals are niee to have, but, after all, there are many children who BtftT ding to th« old-fashioned idea of a valentine and there are many parents ready to gratify the preference, thinking nothing of spending several dollars on the. exquisite designs which represent the old-fashioned lace and ttaeet ralentinwa in elaborated form. Butterflies of the celluloid, beautifully colored, flower designs, hearts and Cupids make of these valentines really artistic and beautiful creations. Dalnpest of all the valentines, though among the most Inexpensive, are the shape cards, ouslnt little sunbonnet babies and pretty Dutch girls being especially fetchta*. The Dutch girls resemble water carriers, but their Jug* are filled with blossoms an* in the fold* ef their full skirt*, i n suotr eenttmeets as "-Laf hat me, l lof hut see."

T h e first p a p e r a l t e r d i n n e r w a s " E l e u t u c i t y o n t b e F a r m ' ' by G l e n n G a r d n e r , M a n a g e r of t h e E l e c t r i c L i g h t P l a n t , a n d is a s follows: 1 du uot think there is any question but what no single invention, unless it be t h e automatic harvester, will mean DU much tu farmers aB the developeraeut of Electrical power. As we all know it plays uu important part in t h e city, so why should it not play as important a part in the country? T h e reason it has not reached its proper development upon the farm is, 1 think, that this element is believed by people in general to be a complicated, mysterious force which responds only to the will of a professional hand. In reality however, 1 can safely tmy from my own knowledge, that electricity is one of the simplest forces of nature. When the automatic harvester tirst came into use, it required a skilled mechanic to j keep it in operation; now all farmers have mastered its details. Later the gasoline engine met with your approval and now its principles of operation are understood in general. But what is the automatic harvester with its complicated parts, the gas engine with its valves and gears compared in simplicity with the electric dynamo, which haft only only one moviag part, a piece of iron wound with copper wire. Yet this, if belted to some form of power, is sufficient if we take the simplest form, to produce electric lights. However to make t h e most convenient and cheapest form of light, it is necessary that we add to this equipment an electric storage battery which will store the energy at times when we have it to spare and which otherwise might be wasted, to give it out at any time as Light or power. This storage battery consists principly of two lead plates immersed in a solution of Sulphuric acid and water—explicit in its simplicity. It is by the use of this battery that I expect to show you how it is possible to furnish light and power for your buildings with practically no extra expense. T o u will agree with me that a gasoline engine is an assenlial thing upon the farm and We Are Dropping you a word of advice a b o u t colds and grip.

G. JACKSON Old World, the period of waste has long since passed by and it is now necessary to take advantage of every resource. In Germany for instance, use is made of every hy-product and every material that would otherwise go to waste. Refuse vegetable matter is worked into alcohol furnishing fuel for the farm engine. T h e day will eventually come in this country when the farmer will use his own waste materials for making himseif more independent. Now it it is known to operators and manufacturers of tras engines that it costs about as much to operate an engine u n d e r full load as it does on partial h.ad. You can therefore see if we had some method of keeping this engine fully loaded and of storing the extra energy, we would have something availabte that would he otherwise wasted. A dynamo and storage battery makes this a reality. Taking for an example a 3 H . P . engine would run 2 hours under i load for 2J cents per hour and to run the same engine full load would cost ij cents more. W i t h a storage battery and dynamo we could store, in this time :> H . P . of energy at a net cost of \\ cents and this i s a sufficient amount of electricity to light the average house for two days. Leaving allowance for depreciation in the battery and lamps, the interest on the investment of $150, it would bring our net cost of lightin? to the sum of about ?15 per year. You can then get up in the middle of the night and light any room in the house or the barn by simply turning a switch. You can throw all your old lamps and lanterns away and never wash lamp chimneys or smell kerosine again. T h e kerosine lamp is detrimental to t h e health of the family. Any kind of horning light exposed to t h e air requires oxygen to ke*p it burning. T h e oxygen is mJao required by na ia breathing and the mo*t of onr houses a r e C « i U a t t « mm P a m 4 .

L. _ PINCKNHT. - - - MICHIGAN ADVERTISING IN MOROCCO. According to a consular report from Tangier, the tomus oi business publicity most familiar in moat other parts of the world pr'jve quite ineffective among the Moors. The astonishing disclosure Is made that not only la the ultimate consumer in Morocco often unable to read In his own Arabic, but a picture signifies nothing to him. "It may be almost inconceivable that such ts the case," writes Consul Holt, "but it is a physical fact that the eye of the average Moor fails to And any meaning whatever in a picture." He relates how he has repeatedly shown to Moors photographs of themselves which they have tailed to recognize; "and this is true to an even greater extent as regards pictures of inanimate objects," with special reference to things for sale, says Providence Journal. How to coax to buy goods a potential consumer who can read neither print nor picture would evidently be a considerable problem for the modern expert in advertising. Samples and "demonstrations," indeed, are the only form of publicity which is at all likely to catch the Moor. The main machinery of exploitation as carried on in the United States becomes useless when directed at him. The mail order house, apparently, would stand no chance in Morocco. All the witchery of art in advertising as expressed in the ubiquitous catalogue wou'd be as completely wasted on the Moor as the Bense of an inscription from the Koran, decorating the wall of a Moorish vestibule, on the American tourist. News comes from Africa that the "Cape to Cairo railroad," once regarded as an "iridescent dream" of Cecil Rhodes, is now so far advanced that completion is actually in sight The finished part extends more than 2,100 miles from Cape Town, and lines in course of construction or contemplated will make the connecting links, so that within two or three years it is believed trains will run from Egypt through the heart ol the dark continent to the other extreme of Africa. What development will follow the opening up of the country by this means may be left to vivid imagination. Africa in some respects Is surpassing other sections in railroad progress. But the "three Americas" system is going bravely on. It will not be many years before passage can be taken by train from any point in North America to stations in the most remote part of the southern continent. There is no question that with peace and good order Cuba is bound to prosper. Despite all the criticism heard the island is making good headway in a material sense. The latest reports show that railroads are extending Into every part, mines are being opened, the fruit-growing industry is expanding rapidly and sugar and tobacco are bringing returns. Cuba is a fertile region of vast natural resources of various kinds. Even under the prostrating effect of war there was rarely a time when a large commerce was not being carried on. With tranquillity in the interior and free opportunity for capital and labor to work together, there is every reason to believe that, in a few years Cuba will possess wealth far exceeding that, of many countries greatly surpassing the island in size. Men weighing less than l.'iO pounds are said to have been discharged from certain railroad workshops. Men weighing more than 190, unless usually tall, have been "released" as street car conductors as too fnt to thread the thronged aisles. Men over 40 find it. hard to get job's because they are too old. Men under 25 find promotion difficult because they are. too young. Will the world's work presently all be done by men between 25 and ?».r> and of medium height and thickness? And what will all the others do? The earth is now scheduled to pass through the tail of Halley's comet next May. Persons disposed to get. nervous over it should find reassurance in the fact that at least one known case of the sort was experienced in the last century with no worse results than a hazy atmosphere during the transit, and a nicteeric shower or two. The supply of salt is said to be practically inexhaustible. To those who are gloomily anticipating the giving out of the world supplies this ought to bring fresh courage. PROTEST AGAINST FISHERY TREMY PIERCE A N D COMMERCIAL FISHERMEN SAY IT VIOLATES STATE RIGHTS. RAILROAD COMMISSION SLAPS KELLEY ON T H E W R I S T AND LETS HIM OFF.

Taft Will Be Gueat of Honor at New York Reception to Receive Roosevelt— 15,000,000 Pounda of Butter Stored, i Driven helplessly from its course, in one of t h e wildest storms that has swept the Mediterranean sea in forty years, the French trana-AtlantIc Steamship Co.'s steamer, General Chanzy, crashed at full speed, in the d^ad ot night, on the treacherous reefs near the Island of Minorca, and all but one of the 157 persons on board perished. The sole survivor ie an Algerian customs officer, Marcel Redel, who was rescued by a fishing boat and who lies in the hospital at Cludadela raving as a result of the tortures through which he passed and unable 1O give an account of the disaster. In the ship's company there were 87 passengers, of whom thirty were in the first cabin. The crew numbered 70. The passengers of t h e Chanzy were mostly French officers and officials returning to their post in Algeria, accompanied by their wives and children; a few soldders, some Italians and Turks and one priest. It is believed that three American vaudeville players, hailing from San Francisco, were on board the steamer. Their names are Elsie Henry and Messrs. Drenda and Delymm. Bartlett to Lead Search. The National Geographic society, which resolved at a meeting held In Washington to send an American expedition in search of the South Pole, confidently expects ample financial assistance from outside sources to warrant the exploration.

New York as the guest of honor. There is some doubt as to whether or not President Taft will be able to participate, but. it seems more than likely that, he will.

SHOWED WHERE HIS MIND WAS Uncle Billy's Question Proved That Sick Horse Was Uppermost in His Thought*. "William," said Aunt Ana Bfciles to her husband, after the supper dishes had been cleared away, "let's ge and hear the lecture to-night." Uaele Billy had forgotten that there was a lecture, and when he was reminded that a returned missionary was going ta tell all about India at the church he did not seem over-enthusiastic. "I oughtn't to go anywhere tonight!" grumbled Uncle Billy. "1 ought to be doctoring my sick horse." "Well, you're not doing it, and you're not likely to do it. (Jet ready and go." Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat patiently through the lecture, which was both interesting and profitable. At the close of his discourse the returned missionary said: "I will wait a few minutes now for the purpose of answering any questions that interested persoaB in the audience may wish to ask." For half a minute nobody spoke. Then, to the horror of Aunt Ann and the astonishment of the congregation. Uncle Billy leaned forward and asked: "What do they use in India to cure horBes t h a t have got the heaves?"— Youth's Companion. LEG A MASS OF HUMOR "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch It and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds In weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch It until I had the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years, The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, both to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would dry up for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, the trouble had entirely disappeared and my leg was as fine as thfr day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signa of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for tho good the Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 312 K. Cabot St.. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1900." Pitching a Curve.

The »torV opens with the Introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, a MassachvsettH man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso. Chile. Being interested in zrdatftg operations In Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and tut a consequence was hiding. At his noted his attention was attracted by an Kuguabman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a oruoken officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had teen declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he waji assigned. He gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin and discovered the English woman and her maid, Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. CHAPTER VIM.—Continued. She bent her head sllghtlj. "What vessel is this?" "The steam yacht Sea Queen of Liverpool, owned by Lord Darlington," she announced, soberly, her face and lips white. "How came you anchored off the government docks?" "IJy special permission of the presideate. We were towed into that berth early last evening, after the Esmeralda had been hauled up against, the quay to ship armament and stores." 1 drew a deep breath. "Could you tell me if it was known to others that you contemplated anchoring there?" Sho hesitated, her lips slightly apart, one hand pressed against her temple. "It is most important that I learn the exact truth," I urged, earnestly. "1 ask from no idle curiosity." "1 am not generally consulted in such matters, senor," she admitted, "but I believe we had been waiting several days for the opportunity to lake that position. This is as I have been told.'' Sho. seemed to be awaiting my explanation, striving to be courteous, yet. with her impatience slightly evidenced by the continual tapping of her toot on the rug. Rut I was not yet through with my questioning. "Were no officers left on board last sight?" Her gray ey*s widened. " O r l a i n l y yes; the first officer and the engineer were In charge when I retired. The others, with the majority of the crew, had gone ashore at, sundown to enjoy the fun. But why do you ask. senor? Are these not on board now?" "I regret being compelled to answer HO. Only the engineer, three of the harbor watch, and some Kanaka firemen have been found. I have discovered no trace of the first officer." "Then—then he must have rowed ashore with two of the m e n ! " she exclaimed. "How chanced you to be left here alone?" She hesitated, her hands clasped on the chalrback, her hosom rising and falling tremulously. Yet finally she farced her lips to reply, as though thus sjttfcing the quickest way of clarifying /tfcp situation. We were all invited to the palace of the presidente to listen to the speeuhos and view the fireworks. T^ord Darlington was greatly interested, and moat desirous of attending. The Unfortunate scene which occurred at e hotel early in the evening left e, however, with so severe i. headl i n e that I begged to be allowed to reg a i n hero alone with Celeste. At first both Lord Darlington and mamma refused lo depart without me, but when t t f preRidente dispatched his own steam launch to convey the party to the wharf, they decided it would be most, discourteous not to attend. iAird, Darlington's membership in the house of 'ords gives him a certain official recognition abroad which he does not care to have lapse. The yacht's captain accomj. nied them, and no dream of i'.11 befalling those left behind ever occurred to any one of us. O aeacr, tell me. what does it all .mean? What has happened?" " I presume I must explain," I said, regretfully, * although It 1» not a s easy task by any means. You will have confidence in me, Miss Doris?" "I shall endeavor to do so," she returned, an increasing coldness In her voice. "But 1 am Lady Darlington." "Your pardon; 1 supposed yuu to be that gentleman's daughter." The color swept in a wave of rich crimson into her cheekB, the gray eyes becoming darker. "Nevertheloa^s, M^nor, I am Lord Darlington's wire.' Even in that moment of embarrassment and perplexity, when I was scarcely less agitated than herself, this unexpected announcement of such a relationship came to me as a shock. Why It should, what difference it could possibly make, I did not in the least realize, yet I was instantly conscious of the disappointment, of deep regret. The revelation, thus calmly, proudly made, was so unexpected, so destructive of all my previous conceptions, as to seem an impossibility. Could this young, clear-eyed woman be indeed the wife of that grim, inactive, ancient peer of the realm? "You apparently question the truth of my words," she remarked, coldly observant. "It was only the natural surprise of a moment, Lady Darlington," I hastened to apologize. "The thought of your marriage had never before occurred to me." She looked directly into my eyes, her own plainly indignant, yet her "You—Why, You Are a Robber, a Pirate!" words strove to overcome the bluntness of my speech. "I do not feel, senor, that there can he any necessity for discussing my private affairs with you at present. Enough that I am Lady Darlington, and that I have patiently answered the rather impudent questions you have seen fit to ask. Now, Senor Estevan, kindly enlighten me as to the cause of your Intrusion into this apartment, and your presence on hoard the yacht." Her tone had changed to imperiousness. This was plainly a command, and, back of the fair face fronting me, I read strength of character and a proud insistence long accustomed to control. It was not fear but disdain that darkened her gray eyes. Her manner begged nothing—it pictured dominant command, the attitude of one who addresses a servant, expecting implicit, obedience. "Lady Darlington," I began, standing directly before her, and reverting to the use of English, so as to be certain of making my meaning sufficiently clear, "whatever explanation J may make cannot be pleasant, hut it shall be truthful. It is far better that you comprehend fully the situation we are in—your own peril, as well as my responsibility." Her expression changed from ahbitrary defiance to an amazement not untinged by a sudden development of fear as her hands grasped the chairback convulsively; but I went on steadily to !• ;> end. "I am not, as you naturally supposed, a Chilean, but a native of North America. My name is Stephens, 1 was in Valparaiso under most unpleasant circumstances, seeking vainly to escape from the country, and .hounded by the secret police because of my connection lately with a revolutionary movement along the Bolivian frontier. The merits of that affaii need not now be discussed, but I had become involved In It. through certain business connections, and had attained Valparaiso after much hard ship, seeking escape by sea. There I discovered every avenue closed against me, and was reduced to a desperate plight. I was in hiding from the governmental authorities when 1 risked almost certain discovery—last eventng. A little later—after you left the hotel—a man who I was led to believe represented the Peruvian government, approached me with a strange proposition, which, however, promised immediate release from my dangerous predicament, and, likewise, a suitable reward for the successful performance of a certain service. I am a sailor, and t h e particular d u t j required of me was to be performed upon the sea. I was aaked to assume the position of a Peruvian naval captain, incapacitated by sudden illness, in the surprise and capture of a Chilean war vessel, the steam yacht Esmeralda, then supposed to be lying at anchor, poorly guarded, In the outer harbor off the government docks. For that purpose I was presented with a Peruvian naval commission." My glance wandered from the motionless woman fronting me iu such white silence to Celeste, who had sunk back upon the bed, her blue eyes staring at me ucross the brass rail, evidently experiencing difficulty la translating my rapid English speech. "I had enjoyed but little opportunity of examining the particular vessel we were thus employed to capture, as I dared not leave the hotel except after nightfall," I continued, more slowly. "Yet I knew her place of anchorage, and that she was a steam yacht of some 700 tons burden, schooner-rigged, with lines promising great speed. Otherwise I relied entirely upon the knowledge of the officers under me. We boarded what I helieved to b« the Esmeralda soon after midnight, overcame* the small harbor watch with lit tie difficulty, captured the engine room, and, by holding a gun at his ear, persuaded the engineer to operate his machinery in our service. The very audacity of the attempt brought comparatively easy success. The main cabin had been secured by my orders when we first arrived aboard, and I came below just now, after all danger seemed far astern, to learn if any officers were hidden away here. I had examined all the other staterooms, finding them empty, and at last opened this door in my quest. Not until I saw you did I in the slightest realize that we were on board the wrong vessel, nor that we were engaged in anything except an honorable adventure of war." That the hasty details of my story both startled her and impressed her with its truth, was evident enough, yet her lips curled with contempt, and her eyes remained unbelieving. "How many men accompanied you?" "A crew of 20. with two officers." "Peruvians, I presume?" "No, madam," reluctantly, "hotchpotch dragged from the seven seas." Her expressive face darkened, her fingers clenching again nervously about the chairback. "And you really expect me to believe that preposterous tale!" she burst forth, indignation shattering all ordinary bounds of speech. "You must, indeed, think very highly of my intelligence. You—why, you are a sea-robber, a pirate!" My cheeks flushed at the harsh words. I could feel the surge of blood, yet I met her gaze quietly, "I have told you the exact truth, Lady Darlington, as I promised," I returned, seeking to speak calmly, "without any real hope that you would believe. Yet I want you to try. It is all bad enough as it stands, without endeavoring to make it appear worse." She leaned slightly forward, clearly impressed to some extent by the gravity of my manner. "Then prove it." "How?" "By steaming directly back to Valparaiso and delivering up this stolen vessel to its lawful owners." "That sounds simple enough, but do you realize what our probable fate would be?" She clasped her hands tightly, pressing them against her breast. "What do I care!" the contempt in her voice grown bitter. "You have done the evil, by your own confession; now you should pay the price. You rescued me once from insult, and I hold the remembrance of that act. in j o u r favor. Prove yourself worthy a woman's respect by making amends for this «ff»*4. Take t h e Sea Queen back now, before it is forever too late, and all I can do, or that my husband can accomplish, shall be done to save you from punishment. Prove to me that your words are not false." I hesitated, doubt and suspicion rendering me totally incapable of clear thinking before her insistent demand. Her face grew whiter as she marked my silence. "So you—you lied, then!" the cruel words faltered from between her lips almost unconsciously. "No, 1 spoke the truth," 1 answered, gripping myself sternly, "but I question my power." "Your power? Why, you just informed me you were in command." I advanced a step forward, my manner respectful enough, yet she half shrank back from my approach and brought the protection of the chair be tween us. "Perhaps I may never succeed in making you clearly comprehend my present position," I said, soberly, "yet I intend to try, because, in truth, I need your assistance as greatly a3 you need mine. Twenty minutes ago, Lady Darlington, it was true I believed myself to be in absolute command of this vessel. Now I gravely suspect whether I may not be a mere puppet, helpless in the hands of others. As I have already endeavored to explain, it was comparatively easy for me to mistake this yacht for the Esmeralda. They are very much alike, and I had enjoyed no opportunity for closely observing either. But it is impossible for me to conceive how the others of my party could have innocently made such an error. What project they may have had in mind I cannot even guess, but I believe now the Sea Queen was deliberately captured, and that I have been decoyed into the leadership of an act of piracy. If so, then I am only one man pitted against 20. What I may accomplish I have at present no means of knowing. I must see the others, endeavor to discover their Becret purpose, and learn whether or not I possess any real authority on board. Lady Darlington, do you at least comprehend what I mean? Do I make it clear to you that I am in a position scarcely less perilous than your own?" With lips parted and hands clenched over her heaving breast she stood silent, apparently deeply aroused by my earnest appeal, yet totally unable to repose full confidence in me. Yet her very hesitancy was to me an encouragement. "You certainly have every reason to doubt me at present, madam," I urged, with increased confidence, "yet I mean to prove myself worthy your trust by deeds rather than words. Will you consent to do as I wish, at least for the moment?" She did not appear to know what she had better do or say, her glance wandering in uncertainty from my face to the questioning eyes of the maid. The latter leaned forward with some eagerness. "Surely it is best to say oui, madame; ze man has ze look honorable," her hands gesticulating despair. "An' on ze whol' ship zere was no one else to help us." "As you say, Celeste, there is no choice;" and Lady Darlington's gray eyes again sought mine reluctantly. "I sincerely desire to repose complete confidence in you; to believe you worthy. What is it you. wish us to do?" "Merely to remain where you are, beyond the observation of others, until I can ascertain the exact truth of our situation. So soon as I learn this, I shall return with the information. Will you accede to this?" She lowered her head slightly, in silent acquiescence, and, still facing them both, I backed out of the room and closed the door. (TO BE CONTINUED.) T H E SHADOW OF D E A T H . v£ ,;n If You Would Have Friends Don't Annoy People by Comparison* That Are Humiliating. When you start in to say plain things to anybody be sure to use plain words and not idioms. Never use figures of speech when rebuking others, for in time your helpful rebuke may be forgotten, but the tang of the biting figure will never be forgotten, and perhaps not forgiven. For ex ample, you might want to tell a conservative person he was not up to the times in some particular matter, but don't call him a fossil -he would never forget it. There is a good deal in a name. Never call a person a crank—crank's a figure of speech. Simply say "You have an odd way of looking at things." This will please, as it suggests Individuality, and not eccentricity or worse. Picturesque language is only interesting when applied to things. People don't like It when applied personally. People don't like to be placed in a comical and spectacular light, and that's where picturesque language is apt to place them. Whatever a person's c h a n g e * - fstics may be don't call him a mule, or her a zany. The clearer the definition the deeper the resentment. Better not call people names, anyway—it only arouses a lot of feeling which is slow to simmer down. Nothing annoys a person more than to be called some ridiculous name—It doesn't seem to set well. In other words, use plain verbs, and cut out the nouna and adjectives, and you will not make many enemies.—Newark News. To Push Spain's Manufactures.

The Fight Against Tuberculosis. Interest in the anti-tuberculosis campaign now being waged throughout the United States is evidenced by the fact that in the year 1909 163 new anti-tuberculosis associations were formed, 133 tuberculosis sanatoria and hospitals were established, and 91 tuberculosis dispensaries were opened. Compared with previous years, this is the best record thus far made in the fight against consumption in this country. During the year 1909, 43 more associations for the prevention of tuberculosis were formed than during the previous 12 months, and G2 more hospitals and sanatoria were established. On January 1, 1910, there were in the United States 394 anti-tuberculosis associations, 386 hospitals and tuberculosis sanatoria and 205 special tuberculosis dispensaries. A Holiday Sermon.

Two-thirds of all the letters which pass through the post offices of th£ world are written i s English.

It happened in this way: "About three and a half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which left a memento in the shape of dyspepsia, or rather, to speak more correctly, neuralgia o ' the stomach. My 'cup of cheer' had always been coffee or tea, but I became convinced, after a time, that they aggravated my stomach trouble. I happened to mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum a trial.

Why is that there is such a scarcity of labor on the farm while the cities are overcrowed? Simply because conditions on the average farm are such that there is little inspiration for the sons or hired man to Btay. But put in a few conveniences and note how your hired man will stay with you and you sons will go to the Agricultural college and come back when their course is completed. There is not a farmers son iu a hundred who does not like machinery. Install something of this kind and let your boy learn to use it. It might seem a poor investment at first but when years have passed and you are no longer able to bear (be heat and toil of the day, it would be a comfort indeed to see a son take iu> the work while you could spend a part of your life in quituess and repose. But in order to enjoy these privileges it behooves us to keep abreast of the the times and make the uiost and best out of the opportunities that come our way, for it matters not iu life what art or profession we follow, time in the course of a few years is sure to greatly advance that art or profession in its usefulness to the world. Time alone would make no change but owing to the fact that man has been endowed with through aud by thinking he is enabled to lay mental plans and theorys whose practicability has mado this world a thousandfold better than it was in the ages that have passed. But to think that the earth has unveiled its last great mystery and life haB reached its highest ebb is I think, a great mistake. The paper was not, discussed to any extent but«%!r. Gardner auswered a few quHstion* in a mannar tbat showed tbat he has his hus;n«-«i well under hand and knows what be is talking about. George Van Horn read a paper on "Sheep Industry from a Labor aod Financial View,"' and was as follows: It has been said thnt all wealth must be dug out of the mines, fished out of the sea or producd from the soil. Of this wealth, that produced by the Sheep comes in most vital relation to life. Concrete may supplant steel, uiul electricity may Bupplant steam, but what, if you please, will take the place of this little animal that has always been mans best fnend, providing him with food that is relished by all people even the most delicate, and with clothing manufactured from the fibre grown on his back, thnt is worn by every person, old or young, rich or poor, on the face of this globe. Unabated high prices for wool and the meat products of sheep, offer tempting inducements for investment in breeding stock for the man who has no sheep at the present time. If these were the only inducements, then it would not be wise on the part of the would-be Shepherd to rush into the 6heep business unless he could find a bargain somewhere.

Ajcain these 60 ewes will consume no more teed (not as much if ihey are &ne wools) and will yeild more income in dollars and cenU, than 5 average cows with about the sane amount invested. The fine wool breeds, I believe, are the safest clam of'sheep for the average farmer to invest in; as a whole the; are more rugged , stronger oonstituted, and fax longer lived than the mutton breeds. My messagi to the man embarking in the sheep industry ii to buy the beat possible, especially the aires, for he is half the flock. For illustration, suppose you invest 110.00 in a sire tbat produces you 30 lambs averaging 8 or 9 pounds of wool per bed at 30cts a pound, or $20.00 for a sire that will produce 30 lambe averaging 10 or 11 pounds of wool per hesd, leaving a balance of $18.00 in favor of the $20-00 investment on one clip of wool. Again if you desire to depose of jour flock the buyer would be a financer of poor ability and judgement, if he would not be willing to invest »2 shillings or $2.00 more per head in the well bred, staple, heavy wooled sheep, than the inferior ones. In couolu&ion, I would say to the wouldbe shepherd, that the time and money spent grinding grain, and the labor of cleaning stables and milking, is saved in the sheep industry. Aod I believe many of the perplexiug labor Jind financial problems of the farmer would be solved by the raisiug more of these little animals with the golden hoof. Albert Wilson—I think that sheep make more money for the farmer than any other department ot farming Mr. Eastman—could we not keep the sheep and cows as well? Mr. Van Horn—That is the plan we follow, keeping a tew cows as well as sheep. Are not the sheep as good for the land as cows? Is not the trouble that we try lo keep sheep on too short pasture? The next talk was on the "Planting and Care of the Corn Crop," by Mr. Taylor. Corn should have its place in the rotation of crops and should be pianton a good sod tbat has been turned under and well prepared. Should plant in bills unless th* field is clear of weeds M il moil be ttpT clean to do well. . Mud o*re should bo tAkeo in the •tltojtiqg of too. toed t^e} w?Of» kernel should grow.

Number from the top and keep the ears fromfwhiob tbe seed has been taken in a row on a shelf and number accordingly, or in any other manner that yon can keep them separate. There is more in the selection of seed than in any one thing about being a successful corn grower, dhould want not more than 4 stalks in a bill tor corn, and never teas than three if possible. I am a firm believer in tbe shredder and silo, as you can prepare to care for your stock with good wholesome food 'during the drouth of July and August. The shredder may not do a very good job of husking but it pays to shred tbe corn crop. "* Tbe depth to plant depends on the quality ot soil. The lighter the soil tbe deeper. Bel ieve in dragging alter corn is planted and up to tbe time it is about two inches high. The weeds must uot get tbe start and earlf cultivation may help destroy tbe cut worm. Believe corn should have a good ear even for the silo and should just be glaxed—earlier than this it will sour too much and rot. James Harris gaye a very interesting talk on High Cost of Living.

ARTHUR A. MONTAOUR, Jodga of \ i i "MOTHER, what makes everything so good these days?" "Why, it's that K C BAKING POWDER. Cake, biscuit or griddle-cakes,—it's all the same. Since I've used K C everything comes out just right,—light, crisp and fit for a king. I knew I was safe in trying it,—they were so sure I'd like it. They refund your money if you don't like it better than any other,—better,—mind you. Then it's guaranteed under every Pure Food Law you ever heard of, and, you won't believe it, but it costs less than what I've used,—a real nice saving. I understand it's because they don't belong to the Baking Powder " T r u s t .

At the close of bis talk be was asked a few questions and was ready witb answers showing that he was not only a student of the affairs of tbe day but bad his "think tank-" full of matters pertaining to tbe wellfare of farmers and tbe country in general, and bad an interesting way of telling tbe people bis thoughts. Michael Roche red a caper on "Tbe Dairy Cow/wbich follows: Aa a beginner at farming I know of n o style or branch of farming that is so interesting to me as dairying, the dairy cow and the dairy feed which a r e auch important factors i n the the buainetw, are what 1 wish to apeak o f today. A b o u t ten years ago, while teaching. 1 seldom missed an opportunity t o visit the barn of each farm house where I boarded and to visit with the farmer while he milked and uever failed to ask all the questions h e would answer, sometimes a few more. D u r i n g these visits I found out that there were many kinds of cows and many more kinds of feed and care or rather . lack of care. I found that while some kept their c o w s in the stable every cold or bad d a y and fed ground feed, bran, e t c . , others left their cows out every day, fed stalks out of doors and a little corn i n the ear because ihey raised it aud therefore must feed ii, it is needless to nay that the former was satistied and had some cows giving 40 l b s . per d a y , the latter were principally engaged i n finding fault with dairying, a n d d i d n e t know how much their cows g a v e , or seem to realize that they could h a v e gotten as much milk from one-half as many cows with one-half the work a n d have h a d ;i profit for.their work instead of feeding at a loss. • . S o m e three years ago I began to weigh and ship milk at A n d e r s o u a n d also bought a few cows, a n d since that time I have been more in touch with the dairy interest. H a v e bought and millked a good many different cows, some good, some A|ir aud Bume very poor, these latter d i d n o t stay long. My own ezperieuce, as well as m y talks with my neighbors convince me that for selling milk at the coudensary the Holstein cows are far ahead of any other kind owned around here. H o w e v e r I do uot intend to try and choose t h e kind of cows for each one to buy, but d o most earnestly insiut that having once chosen the kind of cows that you wish to keep d o not let a few dollars difference in price keep y o u from buying the very best cows of the class that can be found, a n d having bought a few good cows do n o t be content to use any scrub sire that is haudy but rnther i n - vest in in a good sire of t h e chosen class, as all agree that the nire is one.half the herd. I have no doubt thit many of my hearers are milking now, or have been milking cows that do not g i v e more than 30()0 o r 4000 pounds of milk per year, now those who are milking this class of cows d o n o t kuow, or at least d o not tell, what such cows giye, and I do not blame y o n , but I believe you are at fault if y o u d o not weigh such cows milk aud know what they are g i v i n g , aud if the amount is not satisfactory yuu are not fair to your own interest, or if said cow i s not showing y o u a profit if she is not sold at once. I take it for granted that no one present is in tbe dairy business for pleasure a l o n e , if i h e y were they would be justified i n keeping any kind o f a c o w that pleased them and I would have n o objection i n saying the things that I a m about to say which I feel will off e n d , s o m e , and I h o p e will cause each one here to take a broader view o f the dairy business, a n d will g e t for our patient friend, the dairy c o w , much better treatmeut than she has h a d . 1 believe that we can all agree that the object oj dairying is to enrich oar soil, improve our nnanoial condition and last acd best Of alt to furnish healthy and contented employasent for oar tana hors and girls where they can b* w}ta their own people aod not driven to seek eaplajrinefft in the cities, and he at the mercy of the offtee life, the low resort or the gilded ssleos, f o r i folly believe that oat beet men and women have ooave sad will corns ia the tutor* from oar farm homes, for they have mors chance to develop and e s s find some noetal work which wilt keep them oat of mischief and later Irons bad habit* for tha Idle boy or girl ia much more apt to go wrong. If you wish to succeed as a dairy man choose yoor breed, learn how good the best cows of that breed are; learn how t bay wars bred; learn how they wars led sad eared tor and. tasn go and do Ukewisa, only do It a little hettst. If yon choose Jerseys, yea will find Merry Mtss with s yearly record «f 115** lbs. of s i l k as a three y**J old, Sophies Tormentor record, 11770 sad Jeeoba^bsoswrth shoot 1W0O lbs of milk and over 1900 lbs of butter la one year.

If W. 3. OiUstte can proosoe a cow that gives over i7^00 lbs of milk in one year, D. W. Field dne that can yield over »J000, A. J .

Dimirk throe>yr olds that average lZHUU Iba mil*, one of them making 6&U.84 )be butter iu one year. I t they can produce such cows aud ^et suca quantities of milk you will no doubt pardon in it i ^sy that we are wasting time by keeping any cow ottr 4yrs old that will not give at k-adt TUOU lbs or milk in out year or make Sui Ibe oi buiter or more in the same time and we might much letter have those that can beat IUUUU lbs of milk and 300 lbs. butter. Mow tbe uueition is how to get this kind «nd it looks to me us if the following pua aud list ot rton'is might help some. Don't keep any cow that will uot produce 7000 lbs of milk in * year or make SCO llw of butter. Dou't Leap any heifer from a cow that will not tiive from 7U00 to 10U0O lb* nor keep a heifer from a poor cow ev« n if some one should give hex to you as she Is ayt to be dear even at that price. Where can we buy tbe desired kind of cow? I have had uo trouble in the last three years buying la cows that have beaten 40 ibe in oue day, 7 of them beating 46 lbs and 3 of them beating bO ibe of milk lu one day while I have aeighbora who have bought in the same time 3 at least thai have given 50 lba oi milk in a day and a good muuy that bare given 40 lbs or more in a day an 1 we found them all near home that bad registered liolsteic sires aud not one of the lot that I kuow of that had a scrub eire or a poor dain. Now the good cow will reproduce in kind If the following imsUuees are a good ciiterion to go by: 1 have two cows at home from a cow that gave 45 Ibe ot milk iu one day, bar S.yr old daughter has given bO'/i lbs in one day and after 7 weeks is still Bnndredi of orphans bAte bet* helped by the Pr**ide*t of the- I*d94h trial and Orphans Home at ^s\a«on, Gtv who write* "We haved tued JElectric Bitters in this Institution for 9 years.

The monuments, statues and other memorials whereby the first president has been given homage at the American seat of government are designee, primarily, of course, to honor the individual tor hla whole notable career. At the same time the venatillty of the many-sided Washington la emphasised Ueoif* Waaftington..

The figure of Washington, scantily arrayed, in the togs of s Romas senator,, lav represented tn a sitting posture. The left hand clasps s short sword and the right hand points toward heaven, on the granite pedestal la inscribed the famous tribute of Gen. Henry Lee: "First in War, First la Peace, and First tn the Hearts of His Coon try men." The history of this statue dates from the year 1852 when congress authorised the president to employ tbt sculptor Greenough to execute a full Itfagth statue. The figure, which weighs fully 21 tons, was chiseled In Florence, Italy, and the problem of bringing It safely to America proved * most per* plexing one. Commodore Hull was sent with a man-of-war to get the work of art, but' he found that It would he necessary to rip up the ship's decks in order to place the cumbersome burden in the hold, and he objected to doing this. Finally, a merchant vessel had to be chartered for the task and partially reconstructed. The statue was first placed in the rotunda of the capltol, but later was placed on the plasa. The figure, which cost Uncle Sam more than $42,000, has alwaya been the object of more or less criticism because of the lack of drapery.

Ranking first, not only among the tributes to the new world liberator, but also In ail probability, among all personal memorials tbroughout the world Is the great Washington National monument—that imposing shaft of white marble rising on the banks of the Potomac river to bespeak the gratitude of the whole American people. This monument, which is the highest masonry structure in th€ world, and doubly impressive In tta simplicity, la an obelisk and has a height of 655 feet. The foundation is 36 feet deep and the wails of the colossal structure are 15 feet In thickness at the bottom, gradually tapering to a thickness of 18 inches at the top. Gen. Washington was yet living when there first originated the plan for providing this supreme testimonial to bis military and political services. As early as 1783 the congress of the United States resolved to erect a marble monument to the nation's idol, and It is Bald that Washington himself selected a site the spot where the monument now stands. The project was revived from time to time after the death of Washington, but it was not until 1833 that practical steps were taken to carry out the undertaking. Funds were raised by popular subscription, and In 1848 the corner stone of the towering structure was laid with due ceremony. In 1855 the funds which had been contributed were exhausted, the shaft having at that time attained a height of 162 feet. Work ceased and the project was at a standsail for more than a score of years, or until 1878. when the national legislature appropriated money to complete the masonry masterpiece. The completed monument, which represents an expenditure of more than $1,300,01)0, was dedicated a quarter of s century ago. on February 21, 1885. One of the most famous of the memorials and one which has had a moat remarkable history is Horatio Greenough's nerolc statue In marble of leader ol his day. The equestrian statue of Washington, conspicuous even in a city that boasts more such statues than any other community on the continent—was produced by Clark Mi 111 and was cast from cannon cap- Th« Washington National Monument on ths Banks of the Potomac tured from the British in ths war of 1812.

This interest especially attaches to the capture of MatagaJpa, as in all probability say further cause for apprehension on the part of Americans In that important coffee growing section of Nicaragua has. been removed. The capture of the steamer Managua by sympathisers with the revolutionists is regarded s i a serious loss to the Madris government, at it is believed he had depended upon this steamer and one other, the only two of any consequence on Lake Nicaragua, to transport his army, now on the east coast of the lake, back to Managua, in case of need. The whole situation appears to be distinctly in favor of the revolutionary forces, and it Is believed by the officials here that the end of the Nicaraguan government under Madris is rapidly approaching.

WINTER FEED FOR THE BEES FUTURE QF THE F U X CROP • > I » I » • »1 Where the Colony Has Not Stored Enough Honey to Last It It Well to Give Them Candy. One of the best winter feeds, except sealed honey, for bees Is plain sugar candy. If it is found that a colony of beet hat not stored enough honey to keep them over winter it will be well to give them some candy for feed until blossoms come next spring. Candy for bee feeding Is made simply of sugar and water. To make it, dissolve granulated sugar in water and heat tbe mixture in a porcelain or granite vessel until It boils. Keep up a good steady fire, but do not scorch the syrup or it will be of no use for bee feed. Stir the mixture until all the sugar is dissolved, but cease sirring after it is all dissolved. Greatest care should be taken when the syrup is cooked nearly enough, for It is then that scorching is likely to be done. To determine when it has boiled enough, pour some of the syrup Into cold water. If It hardens so that it is brittle and will easily break into pieces by bending, it has become candy and is ready to be taken off. It Is then poured Into greased shallow tin pans and formed into thin cakes. The cakes will have the appearance of rock candy if the work bas been done right When done, these candy cakes may be hung in tbe hive for the bees to feed upon. Some bee keepers mold the candy In the regular hive frames and suspend it in sections ss the natural comb. U may seem extravagant to feed bets on candy when they ought to have made enough boney for themselves, but some seasons it la Impossible tor a colony of beeB to gather enough honey for a full supply, hence they perish of hunger before the coming of blossoms. Many a colony of bees dies during each winter and the -wise farmer or bee keeper will see to it that each colony he keeps Is well fed during the cold months. When a season of abundant honey-bearing blossoms comes the bees will pay back in riches more than a hundred fold.

Tbe farm methods have been very crude and the results Irregular. In each locality Is which It has been introduced ft yielded well, but later gradually failed until tbe grower, meeting with loss, abandoned it entirely. it bas been looked upon s s a short* lived crop, suited only to new lands, snd little attention hss been paid to tbe improvement of the race or strain of tbe seed. Abandoned In tbe eastern states, the flax crop has gradually moved westward until now It 1s practically making its last stand In tbe Dakota* and Minnesota. Tbe acreage of tbe crop for seed alone has been Increased In new lands of tbe northwest so thst the annual value of tbe crop of North Dakota alone is about double that of all the '"""es in which flax was raised for any /ear previous to 1890. North Dakota now raises between 14,000,000 and 16,000,000 bushels or seed, snd it tells at about an average •mw * Samples of Flax. of $1 per bushel on the farm. The total seed production in the United States Is from 25,000,000 to 27,000,000 bushels. If the farmers of the northwestern states will pay more attention to this crop they will find it to be probably as profitable as any other that can be raised on their soils. Professor H. I* Bolley, botanist of the North Dakota station, has made an exhaustive study of flax cultivation and his conclusions are that, generally speaking, the flax crop may be said to grow best in the colder parts of the temperate regions. Seed may be grown on soils under conditions similar to that of successful spring wheat cultivation, while the fiber of the crop is at present produced in the regions of heavy rains and somewhat colder, cloudy skies. The crop also possesses other general capabilities or varieties which allow of the production of farm crops of seed flax, at leaBt to the southern limits of winter wheat producing regions. It has been thought that flax demands a very fertile soil, but Prof. Bolley's experiment Illustrates that It ft is not particularly hard on the soil, in that in some parts of the Red River valley the soil is too 'fertile for the growth of a flax crop when atmosnherelc soil moisture is normal. He finds, in fact, that much better crops of wheat may be raised after flax than after wheat. Too much moisture throughout, the growth season results in weak and imperfect stems and poor seed. Severe drought in time of flowering or seed ripening is also harmful. It is necessary, therefore, to provide a type of soil which will maintain to the last sufficient supply of moisture. Supplied with subsoil mixture flax will stand very severe heating and drought. The illustration shows several bundles of flax, all grown from the same variety of seed, sown on the same day, upon the same plot, Rhowing the evil effects of Irregular planting depths: I. Depths of planting respectively one-half inch, one inch, one and onehalf Inches, two and one-half inches and three inches. 2. Crop planted evenly at one inch depth. Forcing Rhubarb. The forcing of rhubarb has been much practiced within the last few years. The Gardener's Chronicle says a family supply of rhubarb may he had by forcing the roots in the cellar. Dig the roots late in the fall and allow them to freeze before placing them in a frost-proof cellar. Bury them to a depth of four inches in moist sand. The plants thrive best in total darkness and if the compartment in which they are growing is comparatively small a lighted lantern kept in the bed will give heat enough to facilitate a rapid, even growth. In no case should one attempt to force the plants without first freezing them. Use for Broken Limbs. The broken down limbs can easily be trimmed into pole wood and converted profitably into juggles for the heater, while the brush neatly pilled into some distant corner may be converted into ashes, thus removing from the midst of the fruit bearing trees many Injurious insect pests which were harboring and waiting for next season to come.

The interest was good and all went off without a "bitch" from atartio finish. Jhe officers engaged the Bnrgeas orcheetra of Hartland to furnish the mnate all through and they made no mistake as they were on band at all times with moat excellent music. The orchestra is composed of Mr. and Mrs. Burgees and son, W. Wake man, Geo. Arthur and -dr. Campbell, all farmers but Mr. Arthur, but the music would rank with any furnished by many a city oicttHtra, The officers are to be congratulated on the results ot their work the past year. They arranged and carried out seven on* day institutes throughout the county and the roundup and came out with a balance of over $4 m the treaanry. They ware given a vote of thanks tar their work.

It is up to you to make the institutes a suoceas and profitable to ail. Unas. B. Cook of Owoaso gave a talk on Alfalfa and other Legumes. I hope what I say may send some of you home with a better opinion of alfalfa. Do not try to raise too much the firf* time—raise a little but raise the little right and you will soon be a friend of the plant. We consider our alfalfa hay worth $14 or more a ton for feed for cows. Our alfalfa keeps green during the drp months when other feed dry8 up. We raised laat season 7 ton per acre This field has been seeded its fourth year. We always cut the clover as soon as it be gins to show the blossom. In % general way alfalfa is not a good pasture, but as a bay. I would not recommend it for the ailo. Until yonr farm ia inoculated with the bacteria do not try to sow alfalfa with wheat or oats. When alfalfa gets a good start you want to be prepared to do a good job of plowing—a big team, good plow, sharp 8hear, etc.—the roots are some thing fearful to plow. That is where the greatest benefit comes to the farm. The question was discussed by John Worthington who gave some very interesting figures in regard to the feeding ot alfalfa to bis cows. Miss Helen Norton said she was much interested in the growth of alfalfa as aha believed it one of the best tbinga for the land that could be raised as a fertiliser. Mr. Cook would sow the seed early ia Jnne if the season is right. Should be uuist enough to bring the seed at once if not i.» June then in July if wet enough.

Too latest instance of errora la •pairing br * claw qualifying tor adV mittauce to a leading western university to widely interpreted by the prams at an evidence of insufficient training in that important element by academies and high schools. We think a little study of the showing may greatly diminish the force of the this opinion. The university in question la of a else that makes 150 a moderate estimate ot those seeking to qualify In the freshman class. To such a class a list ot 100 words was submitted as a test ot spelling. The list ot errors shows 1 ^ words mlspelled 30 times, or an average of 2½ times to each word, says Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. But tf there were ISO students spelling 100 words this would indicate a percentage of error to all the words spelled by all of the students of one-tenth of one per cent Of course, this calculation as to the proportion ot students who were weak in spelling is guesswork until we know exactly how many students took the test and how many made more than one error. Put con* aiderlng that the student who was so gifted in that line as to spell "accessible" "axseslbie" probably was the one who spelled "municipal" "munisipple." and "glacier" "glashear," it indicates tha't the percentage ot those who are weak is not over 5 to 10 per cent ot the whole. It is only by showing Interest in the extension of American trade in China —only by taking advantage of opportunities as they arrive, and making opportunities where that may be essayed with reasonable prospect of success— that this country can retain Its relative importance in the great and growing commerce between the middle kingdom and the outside world. The United States has certain advantages at the outset, not the least of which are the friendly relations between the governments of the two nations, which were emphasized bv the return of the American portion of the Indemnity exacted irom the CMnese government after the operations by foreign armies during the Boxer rebellion, says Milwaukee Wisconsin. A large part of that sum the Chinese government will use in seeding Chinese students to American colleges. Frank O. Carpenter, tbe well-known correspondent, who has been studying Chinese conditions, looks upon the presence of Chinese students In this country as Important in two directions. For the next SO years there will at all times be 200 ol China's brightest young men studying in the United States. When they return home they will carry friendly remembrances of America and Americana, which will promote amity between the two nations. Whatever else may be said about the policy pursued In Korea by Japan, which has taken the "hermit nation'* under Its wing, there will be no dissent as to the -Msdom of providing good, that European markets are flooded roads. Such highways are conveniences which Korea has never known until cow, and the fact furnishes one explanation of the slow development of that country. Public roads are among the first essentials to civilisation, ana without them any land, no matter now blessed with natural advantages, must tag behind the procession; A dispatch from Detroit states that a fanner from the northwest went to a firm In that city and ordered 30 automobiles to he shipped at once to friends who hadjrtvcn him their orders when he aUrtedX^tOT the east.

His doctor issued a statement that he is afflicted by slight progressiva paralysis, caused by a leakage ot the blood from the calcified arteries into the brain. It was stated that the senator would not be able again, to take his place in the senate this session, but the later news that he was dying came as a shock to all his Washington acquaintances. .

Senator William Alden Smith decided to have an operation for appendicitis Friday afternoon, as soon as arrangements could be made for hospital facilities.

This critical situation aid not grow out of a crisis in the senator's case. On the contrary, he was showing every sign of recovery. Yet Dr. Berth said that there was no assurance fox the future. Dr. Barth emphasised the fact that in that future day when the crisis arose the circumstances might not be favorable to an operation. Eggs Being Imported Into U. 8. For the first time in five years the product of the pauper hen ot Europe is being imported into the United States in competition with the results of home industry. The eggs are shipped by brokers in Hull, England, but are gathered originally from Austria, France and Germany. All the foreign eggs are coated on the outside of the shell with a secret compound of parafflne to preserve them. Buyers can readily distinguish them by this coating. Tbe duty on foreign eggs is 5 cents a dozen and the shipping charges about 4 cents a dozen. Dealers say and the low prices there enable the shippers to make a good profit on their importations.

The terriblenesa of our situation only became more apparent aa I considered it in the light of the discoveries already made, and in my understanding of the nature of those with whom I waa now associated. Neither Tuttle nor De Nova had ever mistaken the Sea Queen for the warship Esmeralda. It was impossible to conceive that these two trained seamen could have made sucfh an error, or that the men under them could have been so utterly deceived. Tuttle's boat came up directly beneath the bows, with the riding lamps burning brightly and revealing the name; every man aboard must have seen it plainly. Tet what object could have led to so desperate an act of piracy? What part was I destined to play In the final working out of their lawless scheme? The longer I studied over the problem the more thoroughly did I become mystified and confused. What could these men ever hope to accomplish in this lawless fashion? They must be fools or madmen. ThiB was not the age of piracy,; every league of sea was patrolled; every port protected by telegraphic communication. Difficult as my own situation undoubtedly was, apparently helpless among this crew of Bea devils, without a man on board in' whom I could put trust, ijt was rendered a thousand times harder by the presence of those two women. In what way could I protect and serve them? 1 wondered if all the crew forward were In the plot, or were the* leaders alone involved? Could I count on finding a single honest sailor in all that riffraff who would stand by me in revolt? There were others on board—the three seamen and the engineer of the yacht's crew, the Chilean officer captured on shore —but they were prisonera, far more helpless even than myself. The longer I thought the darker grew the prospect, the closer the cords of Fate p r e s s e d about me. There was noth* W(>»sff*« to do except-to face the conapira- % ^ p l s r s boldly, and thus ascertain the p***- w n o l e ^ ^ j glanced upward at the telltale compass overhead—the vessel's course had already been altered; we were now headed4westward, directly out into the broad Pacific I met tuttle at the end of the bridge, clinging to the handrail, his oilskins flapping in the head wind. He never glanced toward me, the cool, studied insolence of the fellow causing me to feel more deeply than ever before his consciousness of power. 'The yacht is several points off her course, ICr. TutUe> I said, sharply, .thought drifted naturally to the worn determined to test him. "May i ask If the change was made by your ordetr *"* He swept one long, arm toward the north, and, following the direction of his finger, 1 dimly perceived a tpiifJ the horisoar - "I thought we had bettor sheer off.

If we resist we ahall be blown out of the water; If captured, our crime means death. Tou have deliberately decoyed me Into this affair for some secret purpose of your own; you have involved me in your crime, and now I insist upon some knowledge of your plan, and an explanation regarding my future authority on board/' "Oh, you are the captain," sneering* ly. "What more can you want?" 'Then, If I am; we will head directly back to Valparaiso." - "Oh, I rather guees not;" and Tuttie's eyes became instantly hard and ugly. "Nevertheless you're captain all right. Just so long as you keep the nose of the old girl pointed the way we want her to go." "That is it, is it?" "Yes, that* oaaetly the ticket." I turned partially aside, glancing toward the wheelman. The fellow was leaning forward over the spokes, evidently deeply interested in our coptro versy and endeavoring to hear all we had to say. Tuttle followed the direction of my eyes, but with apparent indifference. "Oh, they all understand about !t," he remarked, carelessly. "And now I guess maybe It's about time we gave you the main points to chew on. If you'll step down into the charthouse, Mr. Stephens, I'll fetch some things 1 want to ahow you, an' bo along myself In a Jiffy. Then m sptn a yarn that'U cause you to come with us wttlin' enough, or else you're a dam' fool." There was nothing else to do, and I followed him.down the bridge steps to the msih deck, The charthouse had ita Single door opening aty and was a man, flsJoJy bum structure painted a dingy gray, with two narrow windows .on either side, and just enough space within to contain a deal table, locker, and three rude benches. I act down upon one of these, filled and lighted my pipe and waited in silence, gaging Idly at the chart pinned' flat on the table. It was a map of these waters lying off the Chilean coast," and a vessel's course hsd been pricked upon It from Juan Fernandas to Valparaiso. This did not particularly interest me, and my the appeali&g face of that woman awaiting me below. I could noLdeeert her/ I could not consider,Anything except how I might best serpojher interests, beat protect nor from4 the contamination of this bell afloat Three shadows suddenly darjaened the doorway,; and Tuttle, accompanied by De Nova and the big seaman named Bill Anderson, entered. The' second officer nodded to me in genial fashion, his white teeth gleaming, but Anderson slouched surlily past and dropped heavily on a bench, his coarse bulldog features devoid of all expression, his square Jaws munching the tobacco in his cheek. I took notice of his eyes, staring straight out of the window opposite, dull, dog-like, deeply sunken under thatched brows, his skin like brown leather drawn tight, his short red neck, and gnarled hands. Altogether he appeared a repulsive brute, no more easily subdued than a jungle tiger. Tuttle sidled along to the opposite side of the table, upon which he placed a tightly rolled, yellowish- backed paper, evidently a navigating chart. As I watched him curiously, he suddenly pressed the point of bis thumb down upon the paper. - "There's our first port, Mr. Stephens," he announced dogmatically. "There, where you see that red cross." I bent over, startled out of all assumed Indifference aa I studied the position indicated. "Longitude 1109 30' west, and latitude 66° 17' south!" 1 exclaimed, scarcely crediting either, ears or eyes. "Why, good God, man, that is almost upon the antarctic circle!" He nodded, running his long fingers through his thin hair. "Right you are, sir. I guess there won't be no warships a-trailin' after us down in them latitudes; not at this season of the year." "But there's nothing there!" I continued, staring incredulously at the map. "Nothing .but fog and floating ice. There is no land marked within 500 miles." "Just the same there's land there," he retorted, positively, his thin lips pressed together. "I've seen It; two islands, an' that's where the Sea Queen pokes her nose." I could merely sit back, staring at the fellow, who remained leaning both hands on the table, his glinting eyes on my face. "It's a rum yarn, Mr. Stephens, I'll admit," he' said, slowly, his nasal tone much In evidence, "but it's all true, sir, so help me, God! Here's the straight of It, an' you listen quiet till I get done. Then I'll answer your Questions as long as you've got any to ask." an impatiently awaiting my return in the cabin.

Tuttle required a while getting started, pulling aside his dangling bavin' skipped out at Vomers Island, where we put in after fresh water. Anyway, It. waa about there that a storm hit us front out the nor'eaat. I gueseit must have been ope end of a hurricane. I never aee%othln' fiercer, even in those seas. There was no thin' to do but turn tail an' scud, the ropes and canvas being so stiff with ice. Well, we battened down, an' took chances, but for a while I thought every wave was gain' to do for the ol' booker en* send us all to Davy Jones'. I couldn't see. five feet from the rail, an' I had to keep diggin' ice out o' my eyes to see at all. The wind had the feel of a solid wall, sir." Tuttle was leaning forward now, his elbows on the table. His lean, solemn countenance had lost its listlessness, and I also noticed the eager interest imprinted on the faces of his two comrades. "We was Jest roundln' the point," he went on aa soon as he took a long breath, "the Betsy keelin' over so's her deck waa half awash, an' with no more than maybe 100 yards o' clear water to the good. Back o' an ugly lookin* headland the coast seemed to fall away sudden into a sort o' cove, which was piled high with great ice hummocks, behind which the ice wall rose up sheer almost to the top o' the rocks. There was a sorter shelf along the edge of it, an' a-settin' up there in full view was the damndest lookin' vessel ever I saw in 50 years o* seafarln'. So help me God, sir, I saw it with my own eyes, as plain as I'm lookin' at you! It was h'lstod up all o' 20 feet above the lower ice-field, an' sort o' careened over where it was froze fast so aa to ahow the decks amidships clear to the inner rail. You remember them ships what Columbus sailed in? Well, this hooker was that kind, only a blame' sight bigger. I guessed her at 8C0 or 980 ton, but she had the same sort o' build—a big high stern, with aa after-cabin clear acrost it, the waist sunk down in a curve, an' the fo'castle raised up like a house, with blunt bows, an' a monster bowsprit forkin' straight up into the air. The whole outfit was so cased with ice an' glittered so in the sun that It seemed like a part o' the Ice cliff, which had took that queer shape from thawin* an' freesin'. Damme if I didn't think it waa somethin' like that for a minute—a blame' freak o' nature —but when I grabbed the glasses, an* got a good look through them, it waa a ship all right, the kind you read about in the books what navigated these waters a hundred or more years ago. I was still a-etarin' at it with all my eyes when we raised the stern, which stood h'isted up a bit higher than the bow, an' where the steady dash of the waves didn't break clean over it, an' the sun fell Just right BO I read the hooker's name.

It is not correct to say that "cemetery" means the "city of the dead." The word is from the Greek "Koimeterion," meaning sleeping place, not the place of the dead. There is nothingin the thinking that it was originally intended to convey the idea that the departed were really dead any more than there is in the old Hebrew term for cemetery—"Bethaim"—the house of the living. ^ r jxr-njMifir>rLTi.rij-tj*i)" -11-^1^^1^ * ~ * * * * * • ^ - ^ ^ . ^ . ^ - - - ^ ^ . ^ ^ ^ , - » » ^ » » » • • • Kitty Wanted to be Alone Story Well lltustratee the Workings of the Childish Mind.

Already groggy, the saloon in this state is holding on only to receive the inevitable knock out punch. Kidney disease is a dangerous ailment. You should never delay a moment to take some good, reliable, dependable remedy. ID sush cases we recommend DeWitts Kidney and Bladder Pills. These wonjerlul pills are being used by thousands of people daily with fine results. They are for weak kidneys, weak back, back ache, inflammation of tbe bladder and all urinary disorders.

The climate, soil and -and location of Mtofaignn tnafce it one of tbe beat states in the onion for I rail. Tbe pruning must .be systematic and done every i ear. Out limbs off smoothly and leave BO stub. Wounds of any site should be painted with wbitelead immediately. Take out all doad limbs. Trim tbe trees so they will be low for spraying and gather* ing trait. Cultivation is one ol tbe principal things. It keeps tbe ground in good condition, keeps down the weed*, assists in increasing moisture, etc. If you began plowing with tbe young orchard it can be fcepr up but if au old orchard, you will have' to plow shallow. The main thing is to keep tbe top ol tbe ground in a clean shape cultivating or harrowing until the last of July or August. There is nothing better for mulching than barnyard manure—one load to 4 or 5 trees—tbe apples will pay tbe cost. One of the troubles of our shipping apples is that there are too many dishonest shippers—the top of the barrel is better than tbe bottom. Grade your apples and have them true to grade. Tbe kind of apples would depend upon the market whether local or commercial, M. L. Chamberlain—I am from Al< legan county and that is considered an apple county. I can see no reason why Livingston county cannot be equal if not better than Allegan. Tou certainly bave tbe right kind of land here at $40 to $50 per acre while in Allegan it costs from $150 to $900 per acre. There is good money in raising good fruit. Mr. White on question box. Do not know tbe pear apple but tbe sbeepnose is a good keeper, I have fonnd that spies kept welt. The spy is a tender apple and must be picked and handled very carefully or they will rot. To a seek no farther is uot recommended as a keeper. The man who does tbe packing whether it be tbe farmer or the buyer, is to blame for tLe packing of poor apple? but ot course we all have to suffer for the faults of others. Had butter ought to be graded. Mr. Cook.— We surely shuuld have our butter graded as well as possible the same as Ibe creamery. FertilKters should be distributed about the entire extremities ot tbe tree; not close to tbe trunk. Tbe Wagner apple will bear in from 4 to 5 years bnt is not so strong j a tree. Tbe spy is slower in growth i but is one of tbe best producers and ! long lived. j Mrs. Norton, I believe tbe frnit ! growers of Michigao are up against J tbe same thing the orange growers of I Florida are. They have a committee j there who look after the packing and i the grower is not ashamed to pnt bis name to every package. Mr. Cook on Poultry for Profit.

Tbe working ol this was fully explaiood hot bai boon published so many times that it is not necessary tor us to give it here. Any farmer can find out all about this kind cf treatment by sending to tbe Agricultural college at Lansing for the bulletins on the subject, especially No. 254. Tbi6 is perhaps one of tbe best published for the work in the general orchard. H. C. Heed led in tbe discussion. I have practiced spraying our orchard for 20 years and know that it pays. I am of tbe opinion that certain conditions make it seem as it it did not pay. However we know that it pays to be thorough. Co operation of Farmers, W, W. McDowell. Co-operation means unit ed work. When we try to get together we find only 30 or 40 farmers will meet while within a day or two 10,000 of them will attend a oircus. The farmer does all the work, tarnishes all the seed, takes the risks, etc., and then has nothing to say in regard to the price—that is fixed by "the other fe) low.' We see the same thing in the milk and butter problem, tbe potatoe crop and even tbe meat we raise. Tbe producer gets 85 per cent while the middle nan gets the 65 per cent and has nothing at stake bnt the handling of tbe product. EVENING SESSION Fireside studies by Cuas. B.

SATUBDAr MOBNIKQ Tillage and Rotation of Crops, Chas. Cook. Some farmers have actually been driven offsheir farms from starvation because they aid not understand the plant food problem.

Yon realize today that we must get back to the clover as often as possible as there is nothing better for the soil than a good crop of clover.

Tbe fertility of tba sand daues ot western uiicbigan has been made to brinir forth bountiful crops where once was a barren waste of drifting sands. One of tb« best ways to help unlock tbase seemingly worn out or run down farms is tbe raising of stosk for there ii» nothing better for soil fertility thin live stock manure. Yon are finding that oat in to a great extent in ibis cooqtv. I am a firm believer in tbe rotation of crops as tbe. growth of one plant is condneive to tbe other. 1 am positive we can keep up the productivenesfi ot oar farm by the abore methods and never use a pound of commercial fertilizer and I believe this is tbe best plan f o r m to follow. Tcere are ftood fertilizers on tbe market but I think stock raising tbe best.; In tbe discussion that followed, Mr. Ciok said be was much in favor of tbe commercial fertilizers that contained phosphorus acid especially. I never spent a dollar tor commercial that I did not tbink I received $4 or 95 in returns. FRIDAY AFTKBNOOl* This session opened with tbe ques tion box and was quite interesting. Tbe main question was in regard to silos and Mr. Baven said he bad been in and inspected probably as many or more than any man in tbe state and in ins opinion tbe cement silo rightly constructed, was the best and cheapest in tbe end. They must be plastered inside with a thin coat of cement and then whitewashed with cement. Ibis makes them tight. Silage and Feeds for Summer Use by Chas. B. Cook. The increase in tbe price of lands and crops brings u*> to a uoint where it h necessary for ns to use silage as a summer feed instead of pasturing. Again we have to refer to alfalfa as it is used in many cases as a summer teed by cu'ting it as needed. It keeps green tbe entire season and proves valuable. A small fie'd cf sweet corn is a fine thing-to start rows off in tbe fall before the new silo is opened. , Would raise that [ with qood earing qualities. | Tbe question of silos and silage drew out considerable discussion bat the JO jority however were in favor of.silage as a feed tbe year arauod especially for milcb cows. Hog Raising for Profit, Mr. Raven. I cannot see bow a man can raise bogs at the present prices without profit. It does not matter so much what the breed as it does tbe quality. I believe; it is mo9t profitable to raise two litters ( of pigs eacb year—one in tbe winter as we usually have plenty of milk at that season. Believe in cooking mnch' of tbe feed and feeding it warm in winter especially. For fattening 1 believe a c o s s between two thorough breds will prove tbe most profitable, "but never use one of tbese as a breeder— tbey are no good.

W. Morrow, of the Michigan AnU-Saiooa leagve, in hit managemettt of the Jackson county local option campaign, ha* created a sensation. All the bitterness that marked the local option campaign, which was won by the "drys" by only M Yotes, has been attrred up afreeh and there are charges and counter charges. The "dry" leaders are alleging that Morrow's private detectives have been dealing with both sides and have laid a scheme to trap the "wets." The 4>dry" leaders, however, cannot explain Morrow's letter asking E. J. Brower to ship "dry" voters Into Jackson county. The "wets" assert that not only did the Anti-Saloon league try to colonise Illegal voters In Jackson county, but also actually did prevent bona fide Jackson voters from returning to Jackson to exercise their franchise. "Nearly 100 properly qualified and registered voters of Jackson were working in Flint at the time of the local option election last spring," said Aid. Stephen H. Carroll. "The Bulck automobile factory was formerly located in Jackson and a few months prior to the election the Bulck plant was moved to Flint and a number of the best workingmen were taken to Flint, but their families remained in Jackson. They were, therefore, bona fide voters in Jackson county. "The 'wets' secured the names of a number of these voters and requested them to come back to their home town to vote. They all agreed to do so. "A few days before the election an employe of the Antj-Saloon league went to Flint and interviewed these men. What methods he used to induce them to remain away from their home town and refrain from casting their ballots can beat be explained. "Some of the voters came back despite the methods nspd to persuade them to stay away, and while they were challenged by, the Anti-Saloon league workers in the polling booths, not one of them was denied the right to vote, because each was able to demonstrate conclusively that he was a bona fide voter in Jackson county." Prosecetlng Attorney Van Zile, of Wayne county, .has followed closely all developments in the controversy of the "Wets'* vs. the "Drys," and rela% tive to the letter which. Superlnten dent George W. Morrow, of the Anti- Saloon league admits having written to K J.• BrtereT, of ^Sranfl Rapids, i& quiring whether he could make up a trade whereby a hundred or two hundred men of Grand Rapids or Detroit could be rounded up for colonization in Jackson, he says: "There is no reason for any Judicial Interference. "No crime has been committed. "There was no overt act by Superintendent Morrow."" * JEchlrlliffiuXiwture Detroit** Q*n Mills. Proceedings that may cut 1,000 saloons from the number now operating in Detroit have been begun by the Anti- Saloon league. Thursday a petition was filed In the supreme court to force Attorney General Bird to begin proceedings against the Detroit common council to enjoin the council from issuing saloon licenses to over l,40o present holders on the ground that under the Warner-Cramton law the. licenses are illegally held. In Detroit last April there were 1,588 saloons. The population of Detroit under the last ceusus was 28*5,704. State Fair Oats Is Made Latsr. It having been found that the holding of the annual state fair in Detroit during the week starting Sept. 6 would conflict with other big fairs held at that time, the business com* mittee of the local organisation met Monday and decided to postpone the opening until Sept. 19. It was also figured that the later date would be better for the exhibition ef Michigan crops, which are not in the best of . shape so early in the month. The fair directors will at once start to make an effort to increase the present bond issue from $1,000,000 to $2,000,- 000 to eorer the cost of erecting new administration, agriculture and automobile buildings.

Nay, my brethren, it was ne'er a Bhark. Was it a swordflsh that got him? Nay—" "It was a whale," whispered the old lady excitedly. • "Hush, Biddie," said *he preacher. indignantly.

It is hard to believe that coffee will put a person in such a condition as it did an Ohio woman. She tells her own story: "I did not believe coffee caused my trouble, and frequently said I liked it so well I would not, and could not quit drinking it, but I was a miserable sufferer from heart trouble and nervous prostration for four years. "I was scarcely able to be around, had no energy and did not care for any* thing. Was emaciated and had a constant pain around my heart until I thought I could not endure it. For months I never went to bed excepting to get up in the morning. 1 felt as though I was liable to die any time. "Frequently I had nervous chills and the least excitement would drive sleep away, and any little noise would upset me terribly. I was gradually getting worse until finally one time it came over me and I asked myself what's the}, use of being sick all the time buying medicine so that I could „ dulge myself in coffee? "So I thought I would see if I could quit drinking coffee and got some Postum to help me quit I made it strictly according to directions and I want to tell you, that change was the greatest step in my life. It was easy to quit coffee because I had the Postum which I now like better than the old coffee. "One by one the old troubles left until now I am in splendid health, nerves steady, heart alt right and the pain all gone. Never have any more nervous chills, don't take any medicine, can do all ray housework, and have done a great deal beside." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. "There's a Re'-ion."

PEANUT As everyone knows, C. W. Post of Battle Creek, Michigan, 1B not only a maker of breakfast foods, but be is a strong individual who believes that the trades-unions are a menace to the liberty of the country. Believing this, and being a "naturalborn'* scrapper for the right, as he sees it, Post, for several years past, has been engaged in a ceaseless warfare against "The Labor Trust,'' as he likes to call it. Not being able to secure free and untrammeled expression of his opinions on this subject through the regular reading pages of the newspapers he has bought advertising space for this purpose, Just as he Is accustomed to for the telling of his Postum "story," and he has thus spent hundreds of thousands of dollars in denouncing trades-unionism. As a result of Post's activities the people now know a whole lot about these organizations: how they are honeycombed with graft, how they obstruct the development of legitimate business, curtail labor's output, hold up manufacturers, graft upon their own membership, and rob the public. Naturally Poet is hated by the tradesunionists, and intensely. He employs no union labor, so they can not. call out hiB men, and he defies their efforts at boycotting hiB products. The latest means of "getting" Post is the widespread publication of the story that a car which was recently wrecked in transmission was found to be loaded with empty peanut shells, which were being shipped from the south to Post's establishment at Battle Creek. This canard probably originated with President John Fitzgerald of the Chicago Federation of Labor, who, it is said, stated it publicly, as truth. Post comes back and gives Fitzgerald the lie direct. He denounces Fitzgerald's statement as a deliberate falsehood, an underhanded and cowardly attempt to injure his business, having not the slightest basis in fact. As aucU an effort it must be regarded. It is significant that this statement about "the peanut shells" is being given wide newspaper publicity. In the "patent inside" of an eastern country paper I find it, and the Inference naturally is that labor-unionltes are insidiously spreading this lie. An institution (or a man) which will resort to moral intimidation and to physical force, that will destroy machinery and burn buildings, that will maim and kill if necessary to effect its ends, naturally would not hesitate to spread falsehood for the same purposes. We admire Post While we have no enmity toward labor unions, so long as they are conducted in an honest, "llveand- let-live" kind of a way, we have had enough of the tarred end of the stick to sympathize thoroughly with what he is trying to do. He deserves support A man like Post can not be killed, even "With lies. They are a boomerang, every time. Again, we know, tor hasn't this weapon, every weapon that could be thought of, been used (and not simply by labor unions) to put us out of business, too?

The difference between the playbouse in which we see u drama of Branson Eloward's today and the playhouse in which Sheridan's comedies were originally acted is greuter than the difference between Sheridan's Drur.v Lane and the house for which Congreve wrote and in which Retter ton acted. And that restoration playhouse was very unlike the Elizabethan theater for which Sluikespenro wrote and in which Burbage acted. Even more apparent is the difference between the theater of DionysiLIS at Athens and the Roman theater at Orangt?. These theaters are sharply distinguished from one another by their size, by their shape, by their methods of illumination, by the absence or presence of real scenery and by the arrangement of the seats for the spectators, and as we study these successive changes we are confirmed in the conviction that these physical conditions must have exerted a powerful Influence upon the dramatists who followed one another down the centuries.—Brander Matthews In Century. mrm MXDBBttMMJL eQQQslJw Tail has February.

He knew that his fellows would make fun of his tailless condition, so he made up his mind to Induce them all to port with their tails. At the next assemblage of foxes he made a speech on the useleasness of toils In general and tbe Inconvenience of a fox's tall In particular, declaring that never In his whole life bad he felt so comfortable as now in bis tailless freedom.

A bill bats been framed 1B the senate coiiujyitte on military affairs prescribing regulations that shall govern the dismissal of We»t Point cadets for the practice of "'hazing," asd defining In explicit language what is meant by the term itself. It seems that the dictionary definitions have not proved satisfactory either to the senate committee or to the executive heads of the war department, and in lieu of a satisfactory translation of the comprehensive term it becomes necessary for the law givers to frame one for themselves. It is in many cases easier to offer an example than a synonym, says Philadelphia Ledger. Anyone knows "haz'ng" when he sees it, and every thoughtfu- person deplores the brutal disregard of another's feelings that is involved in the reprehensible practice. No definition would be complete that failed to take into consideration the fact that mental anguish is sometimes much more painful than physical sufferings. A mans—or boy's—mind may be hazed not less effectually than his body. In order to "haze" successfully it Is not necessary to use instruments of torture. Some of the most brutal instances of hazing on record have been those In which the imagination of the chosen victim has been ingeniously assailed by the soul-harrowing dread of things that did not happen. The figures showing the gold production of the world for 1909, while not complete, prove that the great output of recent years has been kept up. The actual production during 1908 was $443,434,527. The estimated total for 1909, based on official returns from the leading countries for 11 months, is $457,5G7,2SO, an Increase of $14,132,753, or 3.2 per cent., over the preceding twelvemonth. The Transvaal In South Africa leads off, with $151,900,000 against $145,819,016 in 1008. The United States ranks second with $96,500,- 000 against $94,560,000. With one or two exceptions every country in the list produced more gold last year than in 11)08. Further comparison shows that the gain has been In an almost unbroken ratio during the last 20 years, tor which period there has been a lourtold gain in the world's supply. The figures have economic significance and study of them may serve to explain some of the changes that are being wiougnt in the world's monetary system. The meanness of the short-measure trick Is conspicuously exemplified In the report that consumers in New York city alone are annually cheated out of 14,000,000 quarts of milk for which they pay—and. according to recent evidence, pay exorbitantly—but which they do not receive because the bottles in which the milk is delivered are under full size. The milk sold in this manner goes for the most part to poor persons and furnishes a large proportion of the sustenance of children. Short measure in this Instance therefore means robbing those whose lot is already hard enough and who have to pay heavily for every necessary of life. If there is not a method of reaching the conscienceless persons who perpetrate such despicable frauds certainly the law should remedy the defect. A Ilusslnn bank has been started at Buenos Ayres, the capital of Argentina, and a Une of steamships from St. Petersburg to South America is projected, owing to the large and Increasing trade of Russia with that, country. All the other leading European nations have an important commerce with South America, which is pushed with all the energy possible and with the application of every practicable method, including subsidized steamers, liberal exchange arrangements and' the maintenance of well-stocked agencies in South America, with employes carefully trained for their duties, and with strict regard for South American tastes and desires in the character and quality of goods. Even in this rushing age you can't blame a man for standing still when he is in the storm center of such formidable elements as a street car, h whirl oi automobiles, a part of the flying squadron of motorcycles, trucks, carriages bicycles and express wagons. Then to be ordered to move on by a big policeman with a stuffed club, the stuffing being of lead assaying better man 90 per c e n t , excuses thought C/\nt l i s t e n POOR DEAL IN HIGH FINANCE Farmer Divided Profit* with t h t Sellers of Dressed Meat, and Lost Money. Speaking of the present prosperity of the farmer, Assemblyman Warren Pine oi Riverside related a little story at Trenton the other day which would seem to indicate the agriculturist is not always far-seeing with regard to his finances. Some time ago, Mr. Pine said, he was on a train and overheard the conversation of two farmers who were on their way to Trenton. First they talked about the dry spell they had last summer, then the game laws, and finally one of them remarked that he had heard that Josh Hanking had had his annual hog killing. "Yaas," returned the other with a chuckle, "and he, didn't do a gosh dasted thing hut bunko himself good an' plenty." "How did he bunko himself?" queried the first, wonderlngly. "He got a good price fer 'em, didn't h e ? " ' "YaaSj" answered the second, with another gleeful chuckle, "that was ther whole derned trouble. He got such a good price fer 'em thet he sold ther whole bloomin' lot, an' didn't keep none for his own eatin'." "Ye hev kind o" got me, Bill," was the puzzled response of the first. "Ye will hev ter come again." "It is as easy ter see as slippin' off a greased log," said Bill. "He sold .all them hogs at $10 a hundred, an' now he is buyin' them back fer his table In pork chops an' scrapple lots at soniethin' like 20 cents a pound."— Philadelphia Telegraph. THE WORST. Mrs. Blink—The worst is yet to come. Mr. Blink—What time does your mother arrive? Opera the Great Leveler. At one of the Wugner operas a few days ago a woman nudged her friend and said: "Who's that distinguished man bowing to you over there?" Her friend looked in the direction designated and smiled in a return greeting. "That's my butcher," she said. "1 see him here quite often.

The beef trust of the United States, embracing six great packing companies and 21 packers, several of them multi-millionaires, socially and Industria^ y prominent, were indicted by a grand jury in HudBon county, New Jersey, charged with conspiracy In limiting the supply of meat and poultry. The indictment is- drawn under the laws of New Jersey, which provide, on conviction, a maximum penalty of three years in the penitentiary or a $1,000 fine, or both. The offense is extraditable, which means that practically all the- meat barons of this country must either successfully resist extradition, or come to Jersey City for trial. Justice Harlan Attacked. An attack upon Supreme Court Justice Harlan for activities before a house committee in behalf of a bill to extend government assistance to the George Washington university was made yesterday by President K J. James, of the University of Illinois, before the house committee on agriculture. Declaring that he understo 1 Justice Harlan had been on the pay roll of the university at a salary of from $2,000 to $3,000, Mr. James said: "It seems to be that it is no? quite proper for a justice of the supreme court to urge upon congress, among whose members are many men who practice in bis court and who may be beholden to him for favors, that they should make appropriations for the benefit of a private institution on whose pay roll the justice has been for the better part of a generation." Justice Harlan's son, Dr. R. D. Harlan, defended his father against tne attack, saying: "I am sure that my honored father," he said, "approaching, perhaps, the close of his life at fourscore years, Is safe from any aspersion of his motives in this matter. The people of Washington will hardly believe that he is actuated by any motive other than that of simple justice." Found the Slayer at Last. The story of a father's three-year search In two continents /or the slayer of his daughter was revealed when Kleebrites Hlotis, 20 years old, was arrested, with the aid of a government Immigration inspector. According to the police, the prisoner admitted hla Identity and confessed to killing the girl, Filipict Damaskis, 17 years old, but insisted that the tragedy was accidental. "He loved my daughter," said Peter Damaskis, the slain girl's father, "but my wife did not want him for a sonin- law. Thev quarreled and Hlotis ki'led the girl." The tragedy was enacted at Paleoporion, in Greece, July 21, 1907, according to Damaskis. A celebration was being held following the marriage of a sister of Hiotis. During a dance the Damaskis girl fell dead with a bullet in her neck. She had been dancing with a rival of Hiotts. Hiotis came to America immediately after the shooting and has lived in Chicago for six months. Damaskis pursued him and caused his arrest after a three-year search.

In Bolivia, he was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his ^attention was attracted by an Englishman. and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from ur drunken officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him that war had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he_ was aRaig-ned. He gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully' captured the vessel supposed to be the .Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin and discovered the Knglish woman and her maid. Stephens tpiickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being al>oard. He explained the situation to her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to go to the Antarctic circle, Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found it fmzen In a huge case of ice on an island and contained much gold. printed la Spanish—not j u t t tike what yon aee to-day, sir, bat t h e letterln' all rough, a* though It bad been cut out o* moo6't *but-t*to feltow fltowjjftf rffcftb* date when It was print**!, 4k' K read 'Seville, 1779/ plain enough.

The change in the man speaking held me breathless; his cant, his usually oily method of utterance had merged into an earnestness full^nf faBcination. "Well, that was about all, sir," his voice sinking hack into commonplace. "In two hours we wore out o' sl»ht, an' feelin' our way through a blindin snow squall. But it wan such a ruin thing, discoverin' them islands out there all uncharted, with that queer ghost ship perchin' on 'em. that 1 wrote down the latitude an' longitude an' the hooker's name in my log-book. We was about three weeks makln' the West Falklands, where I shipped a few more hands, an' then bore away north for home." He drew a plug of tobacco from out his coat-tall pocket, cut oft what he needed, and stowed it awr.y in his cheek. He ran his fingers through his thin hair, and resumed: 'About 18 mouths later I was back with the ol' Betsy in the South Pacific. One night, with the moon shinin', hardly a ripple anywhere, my mate run her nose onto a rock, a couple o* hundred miles south o' Easter island, an' In less than 20 minutes the bark had gone down like a stone. We made Easter island In the boats without much trouble, but it wa'n't so easy to get away. I had six weeks of it before 1 got. a chance, an' then I shipped afore the mast on a sandalwood trader. De, Xova here was mate, an' finally, huntln' goods to peddle among the islanders, we sailed into Valparaiso, an' the most of us shipped out. Well, by that time I wasn't thinkin' very often about that iceship down in the Antar'tlc; 1 was hnstlin' for some sort o' berth to take me back to the States. But one night, down in Rodrigues' back room, where I hung out, I got to talkiu' with a gambler named Francisco—the same smooth duck who introduced himseff as De Castillo to you, sir. He was an educated man, an' seemed to like to hear me talk, an' among other sea 'arrs I happened to tell him this one. seemed mighty Interested, although wasn't neVcr given to seafarin'. asked me a whole pile o' fool ques tlons. Finally he wanted to meet me again alone the next day. "Well, having' nothlu' better to do, I was there when he came, an' ho showed up with a queer-lookin', big, fc$ ol* book, the cover half ripped off, under his^arm. Then he made me tell him that yarn over again, and describe the ship jest exactly as I remembered it. Then, when I'd got through, an' tokl him everything 1 could dig out o' my memory, he opened up that book o' his on the table, an' damme, sir. If he didn't sgow me a picture of that same ol' hooker, plain as life, only everything Was trim an', shipshape on board, with the masts up an' the sails drawtn'.

Over :1,000,000 pesos, guarded by the dead for a century amid that grim desolation of crested sea! God! it was simply unthinkable, and 1 even ventured to smile at the credulity of the men about me; yet I did It with set jaws and lips parched and dry. What if it was all tine? I felt the blood boiling up Through my veins, every extremity tingling with the fever of it. Over 3,000,000 pesos! Merciful mother! it was the ransom of a king; it was the temptation of hell! I know not how I controlled my voice I so as to question calmly, for, even as I first spoke, I noticed how my hands trembled where they rested on the outspread map. "Is that all?" Tuttle nodded his head, uplifting his eyes questioningly to mine. "That's the whole of it, sir. What Jo you think?" "That's more than I know, Mr. Tuttle. Perhaps you dreamed, perhaps Francisco lied. I should have liked to ?ee that book." I bent lower over the chart, staring at the red cross. "What was it you men wanted me for?" "To operate the steamer, sir; the rest of us aboard only understand sallin' vessels," "Yes, of course; but why did you happen to choose a steamer for the job? There were plenty of sailing craft lying in the harbor easier to steal than this yacht." "Very true, but It .happened to be steam power we wanted. Here is about how we figured it, sir. First place, we had to get away quickly out of those portions of t h e sea where they'd be most likely to hunt for us. We're outlaws, an' every ship sallin' under a flag Is an enemy. Well, sir. what chance would a sailin' vessel have In such a chase? We needed somethln' that would show 'em a clean pair o' heels—somethln' that would give 'em a run for their money. That's what this yacht can do; she's pokln'-it now at sixteen." "Yea; you've got the advantage," 1 confessed, "so long as your coal lasts. But you can't put in anywhere for a knew supply—'.vhat the a?" He turned partially about, and winked M De Nova; the fellow grinned back ut him, hut bU'tt in eagerly: "Oh, ue'ic out quite so grcua • « all sat, Mone.

Ze danjaire was not, for in sat ocean we meet nossing but maybe ze whale ship." "You understand what he means, sir?" went on Tuttle, as the Creole paused for breath. "Once well ahead we can fall back on canvas, and save the coal. But we'll need the steam power down there to hold her off an' on by the island while we do the Job. It's a mighty nasty bit o' water, an' a sailm' vessel is apt to c a t pinched in the ice. But with a steamer we can hold her to it, however the wind blows." I looked at the fellow with greater respect. Evidently he had considered every angle of the desperate game he was playing. "Your scheme certainly sounds reasonable enough," I admitted, almost reluctantly. "And the chances are you will get there all right. But suppose you do; suppose you discover this mysterious island; suppose you And there the galleon as you say; suppose you even succeed in getting aboard, and into possession of the treasure—what then?, Don't you know you're bound to be. caught the minute you come out of the Antarctic, into any ocean patrolled by the fleets of the world? You have committed piracy— a crime against the nations— and t h e civilized world will unite to hunt you down." "That's another reason why we had to have a steamer," h e explained, calmly. "You just remarked that they'd be lookin' for the Sea Queen to come back. Well, let "em look; they won't never see her, sir. Once we get that gold under hatches, an' back as far as that rock they call Dougherty Island—an' that's only a run o' maybe 500 miles—I'll engage to make over this here Sea Queen so that her own captain wouldn't know her 50 feet away. "How? I'd strip the engines out o' her, h'lst the stack overboard, tear down the bridge an' wheelhouse* rig her as a barkentine, change every line o' paint fore an' aft, an' then wreck her somewhere along the east Patagonian coast, or maybe the Falklands. It would be nothin* but a bloomin' whaler gone ashore, an' afore anybody finds out different, we'll be scattered to hell an* back." 1 was obliged to acknowledge to myself that it was not an impossible plan. Eliminating the chance of accident or some unusually had luck, .success appeared not only possible, but probable. "Did you think all that out yourself, Mi. Tuttle?" "Well, Francisco suggested considerable, but we did it together." "Where is he? on board?" The mate laughed, his eyes expressive of contempt. "Not much, he hadn't the nerve. He's a schemer all right, but. a blame' coward." "But suppose he gets to talking back there in Valparaiso?" It was big Bill Anderson who answered me, disgusted with our long controversy. "Oh, to hell wid Francisco!" he broke in, gruffly. "It's w a t you're goin' to do we want to know. P'rancisco'll hold his gaff well enough. He expects a hit of the swag, an', besides, I let him know what was comin' to him if he let his tongue wag. I had him right, let me tell ye. An', damme, Mr. Stephens," the bully in him breaking all bounds, "if it ain't comin' the same way to any otnei duffer who goes back on us this trip. That's what talks!" He jerked his sheath-knife from his belt, and, with one fierce lunge, drove it half to the hilt Into t h e table, his brute eyes scowling threateningly into mine. C H A P T E R X I . In Which I Explain to Her Ladyship. I gazed directly into his bullying eyes with a depth of contempt 1 made no slightest effort to disguise. Then I arose deliberately to my feet. "Anderson, pluck that knife out and put it back in your belt." "I'm damned if—" "Do as I say quick, you surly brute," I interrupted, sternly. "Not axtotber word. I'm in command here yet, and you'll obey orders, or I'll make you." He understood I meant it, with his innate cowardice pkiimjr apparent, yet did not yield until Tuule Interfered Wiin & sarcastic laugh, "The captain isn't exactly the sort to be handled in that kind o' way, Bill," he said, smuothly. "He's a deep-water aaiior, nut a land-shark, but I guess he's likely ready ouougb by this time to say what he's willln' to do." The entire situation beemed to unroll before me like a panorama aa I stood there, hastily making—up my mind for action. I was afloat on the high seas, absolutely powerless to resist the set purpose of these men surrounding me, all rendered desperate by greed. Much as I despised Anderson, I comprehended that his threat was no idle one; nor did 1 possess a single comrade on board who would stand at my back. 1 was utterly alone; nay, worse even than alone—with two women dependent upon me. If I outwardly agreed with these rascals, and thus retained semblance of command over them, I might possibly preserve all our lives; I could, at least for the the present, protect the women from insult, perhaps from danger. "Well, Mr. Tuttle," I said, quietly, "I may as well return you my answer one time as another. I don't give a tinker's damn for Anderson's threats, and I don't altogether put much faith in your yarn. But perhaps it's worth taking a chance at. What is to be my authority on board, providing I agree to go with you?" "You're the captain." "Absolutely in command?" He shifted about, appearing a trifle disconcerted under my rapid questioning. "Weil, yes; in everything concernln' the discipline an' sailin' of the yacht," he explained. "There won't be no fuss about that job, sir. But we ain't a regular articled crew, bein' that we're all here on shares in the enterprise, an' so, as regards the purpose of 1 he voyage, it'll h'd\o lo be decided by majority vote. However, that don't need make no trouble." "What is to be my share if you find the treasure?" He thrust his head out of the window nearest him, looking up and down the deck; then he leaned across the table toward me, lowering his voice until it was little more than whisper. "You got one-fifth, sir; the four of us here get one-fifth each; the other fifth is to be divided among the crew. Ain't that fair enough, sir?" "It would appear so; yet there Is still another matter of some importance lo be decided first. There are two women on board; how about l hem?" "What!" The vibrant excitement of his high-pitched nasal voice was echoed by the others. "This steam-yacht we have stolen was the property of the earl of Darlington," I explained. "Lady Darlington and her maid a r e still on board, in iho cabin aft." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Not a Dealer in Flattery ^- A f r k a n Native Gave Straight Answer to Straight Question.

"We—we want you to marry us," said the blushing young man, indicating a young woman with downcast eyes and smiling face who stood a step behind him.

The young man turned a helpless gaze oa his companion, and then looked at the minister. "If you've got one to spare and it can come out o' the two dollars.

The wrong food and drink causes a lot of trouble in this world. To change the food is the first duty of every person that, is ill, particularly from stomach and nervous troubles. As an illustration: A lady in Mo. has, with her husband, been brought around to health again by leaving off coffee and some articles of food that, did not agree with them. They began usiug Postum and Grape-Nuts food. Sh8 s a y s : "For a number of years I suffered with stomach and bowel trouble which kept, getting worse unutil I was very ill most of the time. About four years ago I left off coffee and began taking Postum. My stomach and bowels improved right along, but I was so reduced in flesh and so nervous that the least thing would overcome me. "Then I changed my food and began using Grape-Nuts In addition to Postum. I lived on these two principally for about four months. Day by day I gained in flesh a n d strength until now the nervous trouble has entirely disappeared and I feel that I owe my life and health to Postum and Grape-Nuts. "Husband Is 73 years old and he was troubled for a long time with occasional cramps, and slept badly. Finally I prevailed upon him to leave off cpffea and take Postum. He had stood out for a long time, but after he triet! Postum for a few days he found that he could sleep and that his cramps disappeared. He was satisfied and has never gone back to coffee. "I have a brother in California who has been using Postum for several years; his whole family use it also because they have had such good result! from it." | Look In pkgs. for the little book, "The I <*oad to Wellville."

Foote, president, ha& applied to the stale railroad commission for a hearing. It wants to become the "Consumers' Supply Co." They would issue bonds for ¢35,000,1)06, as follows: $2,679,000 to be issued to pay part of the purchase price of property to be acquired; $6,071,000 to be reserved to retire outstanding bonds, the Grauu Rapids-Muskegon and the Graud Rapids Edison Co. debentures; the properties of these companies to be purchased; $20,250,000 to be reserved In trust to be issued to pay for operation and extensions. The companies to be bought are: Jackson Light & Power Co.; Pontiac Power Co.; Flint Electric Co.; Saginaw Power Co.; Bay City Power Co ; and the Au Sable Electric Co. Common stock to the extent of $8,500,000; preferred stock $1,119,000, and bonds of $2,679,000 will be issued and delivered in payment for these properties. The commission will give the company a hearing in March. The Commonwealth Power Co. was incorporated in 1904 under the laws of Maine, with an authorized capital of $7,500,000. They were admitted to Michigan in 1905. STATE BRIEFS. To the Courts. That the proposed settlement of the $6,000,000 case of the Michigan Central railroad against the state, and the $4,500,000 suit of the state against the railroad, will not meet the approval of the state board of auditors was more than ever indicated when Land Commissioner Huntley Russell said: 'I am not in favor of a private settlement of a public suit, and I think that the courts should decide this matter. "In that way everyone in the state will have a complete record of the affair." It is wnderstood that Governor Warner is in favor of settling the cases, but thinks the road should add another $50,000 to the amount, as the $125,000 does not cover the expense of the attorneys aiding the state in Its defense of the suit. Secretary of State Martimlale has expressed himself against the settlement. The other member of the board, State Treasurer Sleeper, has not stated his position. Genesee Prisoners to Make Roads. According to plans developed at a meeting of the board of supervisors. such townships, villages and cities of Genesee county as desire road improvements may have them without the expenditure of very much money. The board decided that on the written application of the road commissioner of any city, village or township, it will he the duty of the sheriff to deliver to (he applicant a squad of not less than three prisoners serving Jail sentences, and they working under a deputy appointor! by the sheriff shall repair the roads In said locality. The expense of the deputy and the transportation of the prisoners to and from the jail shall be paid out of the highway fund. Now a Skunk Farm. An odorless skunk ranch is planned by Charles Higby, a Walnut Lake farmer. Higby believes that the price of fur will have advanced so much in the next two years that It will >pay to raise furbearing animals for the sake of their pelts. He has already trapped a number of skunks, which he has staked in barrels about, his farm.

Trouble between tbe XTaltf ¢. States and Japan was forecasted by Lealie M. Shaw, former secreta/y of the treasury, in a Washington day speech at Morrlstowa, N. J. "Japan," he declared, "proposes to dominate the Pacific or make it run red. There Je-race hatred between the countries. You go to Japan to Jive and you Hve where you are told v to live. The Japanese come here and want to live where they please. You cannot buy land there for any amount of motiey, but the Japanese want to buy land everywhere. Your children cannot go to school there, but the Japanese man would go to school in thia country with your little girls," Gen. Francis V. Greene, of Buffalo, addressing the Canadian club at St. _ Catharines, said war between Japan and the United States was a good deal more likely than official circles in the United States will admit. '•There has been a tendency to keep the matter under cover aa much as possible," said the general. "Great Britain hag formed an alliance with Japan for offensive and defensive purposes, and, should Japan ever go to war with the United States she could under that agreement call upon Great Britain to help her. "But every consideration would call upon Great Britain to break sucli a treaty, for it is inconceivable to me that Great Britain and the United States should ever go to war again." How You Gain a Living. Uucle $aja is very anxious to know how every person in the United States gains his or her living. In the printed instructions to the enumerators who will begin their work April 15, the census bureau holds that the occupation followed by a child or a woman is just as important, for census purposes, as the occupation of a man. The United States government also holds that the more important occupation is the one from which the person gets the more money. If a person has two occupations, the census man is instructed to record only the more important one. If that cannot be learned then he is to return the one at which the person spends the most time. As an illustration, the enumerators are told to return a man as a "farmer" if he gets most of bis income from farming, although he may also follow the occupation of a clergyman or preacher; but they must return him as a "clergyman" if he gets more of his income from that occupation.

Representatives of an Amsterdam syndicate which proposes to buy a large tract of land in the west for colonization purposes have reached New York from Holland. The idea of the syndicate is to purchase the land and pay the traveling expenses of Dutch farmer immigrants. The colonists, however, will be expected to repay the syndicate after a period of years.

The distress begins in early morning. You feel lame and not refreshed. It's hard to get out of bed. It hurts to stoop to tie your shoes. All day the ache keeps up. Any sudden movement sends sharp twinges through the back. It is torture to stoop or straighten. At night the sufferer retires to toss and twist and groan. Backache is kidney ache—a throbbing, dull aching in the kidneys. Plasters or liniments won't do. _ You must get at the cause, inside.

My body and face were covered with sores. One day it would seem to be better, and then break out again with the most terrible pain and itching. I have been sick several times, but never in my life did I experience such awful suffering aa with this eczema. I had made up my mind that death was near at hand, and I longed for that time when I would be at rest. Iliad tried many different doctors and medicines without success, and toy mother brought me the Cuticura Remedies, Insisting that I try them. 1 began to feel better after the first bath with Cuticura Soap, and one application of Cuticura Ointment "I continued with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, and have taken four bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and consider myself well.

If the English sparrow were not audi a hardy little rascal, BO well able to take care of himself and thrive and multiply, how our pity would go out toward hJUa! Especially might we now allow our generous feelings to flow, when the department of agriculture has just Issued a farmer's bulletin in which it haa nothing really good to say about this dweller everywhere and offers various means for getting rid of him. But the English sparrow needs no pity, saya Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. He will live by grace or without it, and we may expect that, notwithstanding the bulletins, we shall continue always to have him with us, hardy, prolific, bold, cunning, self-reliant and unwashed. The bulletin— and it is sadly in accord with popular experience—represents this active neighbor of human kind as a dyed-in-the-wool criminal among birds. He attacks, it seems, almost every sort of vegetation useful for food, preys on his own kind by destroying their eggs and driving them from gardens and parlu and has no melodious pean to offer after his victories. He ahould be treated as vermin, and reduced in number, even if he cannot be exterminated. To be sure, the bulletin does not offer one forlorn hope. Mr. Dearborn of the biological survey says that he ought to be eaten. The propositions emanating from the United States, looking to the creation of an international peace court and to the neutralisation of the railroads in Manchuria as a step to "Harmony of all interests In that quarter, have made a profound impression and are regarded as measures of world politics of the highest significance and pointing to most beneficent results. That is the best and noblest of diplomacy, and again illustrates the lead which the United States is taking in seeking to promote good understanding and to safeguard peace among the nations. Aspirations to such "world power' as this, which means the welfare of all mankind, must be approved by even the most stubborn "anti." According to the later details the one failure at the aviation meet in Los Angeles was that of a government dirigible balloon, which it was found could not hold gas and therefore could not be used in flying. This hints at a weak'spot in this class of airships and may strengthen the cause of the aeroplaniBtB, who contend .that the heavierthan- air machine, properly constructed and operated, is the real thing. Anyway, it must be admitted that this class of air craft won most of the distinction at the California show. Mexico reports that its agricultural products last year were worth $330,- 000,000. That is a very creditable showing, though it looks small alongside of the $8,000,000,000 output of the United States. But, added to the increasing value of the products of Mexican industries of various kinds, it is gratifying as indicating the growth and prosperity of our southern neighbor.

Fire which was started by a gas heater in the bathroom Saturday night drove 11 roomers, many of them in their night clothing, out of tie Alsdorf rooming house, at Lansing, damaged the building to the extent of $10,000, and destroyed clothing and jewelry belonging to the guests, the value of which is estimated to be $500. No one waB injured, though theie were several narrow escapes, and Mrs. Stella Seeley, part owner of the property, is in a serious condition from shock. It was one of sthe mostly costly flies Lansing has seen in years. The Alsdorf waB built about ten years ago at a cost of $25,000, and has been conducted since as a first-class rooming house. Among the roomers was T. E, Ely, state highway commissioner. Rich Lumberman Dies. A. E. Cart lor, president of the Northern Michigan Transportation company, of Chicago, and of the Cartier Lumber company, of Ludingtou. father of Mayor C. E. Cartier, died in Ludtngton, aged 74. He was a timber king of Mason county and amassed a fortune of several millions in the early lumber industry. A widow, two daughters and six sons survive him. Mr. Cartier was mayor of Ludington for one term and had been prominent in religious circles. Six sons— ex-Mayor W. A? and D. E. Cartier, of the Cartier Lumber company, and Moyar C. E.

Concede $666,000 for the Saginaw, Congressman Fordney has won on his big Saginaw river improvement project. The board of river and harbor engineers has recommended the appropriation of $68G,000 to give an 18-foot channel in the hay to Bay City, and a 16-foot channel in the river to Saginaw. The board accepts without change the original recommendation of Col. Townseml which provided that the 16-foot channel l>< carried to the Tlttabawassee river, at the upper city limits of Saginaw. The plea of meaning no harm is one often advanced as an excuse for wrongdoing. A man of average intelligence who intends no Wrong will keep within due limits and not take chances of wrong resulting. Many are too often satisfied with this vague and unmeaning excuse to their conscience, but it has little weight either in reason or law. Figures for the calendar year 1909 show that the trade between the United State* and Canada was the largest ever known for an equal period. Moreover, the figures prove that the business done by the countries with each other has doubled In ten years. That does not indicate that either side is barring out the other. Corporations Early With Annual Reports. State and foreign corporations in great numbers are filing their annual reports with the secretary of state these days, in compliance with the law which requires the reports to be filed by March 31 each year. Any corporation in default 10 days thereafter automatically loses its corporate powers. Within two days over 1,200 reports have been filed, each accompanied by a fee of 50 cents. It is estimated that there are 7,000 corporations doing business in Michigan, and the number increases each year. 1 Burbank. the plant wizard, naa developed a spineless cactus as a substitute for meat It is going greatly to simplify matters If one can simply go out in one's garden or back yard and pull one's roast or joint fresh from it* growing.

An exodus of 100 union machinists is one of the results of the campaign recently begun by the union organisers in their efforts to make Battle Creek feel the power of organized labor. These men have, through the efforts of Organizer Clarence Dowd, of Detroit, secured positions throughout v e state at higher wages. They are >aving in small groups to take up their work. Most of the men are married and have families. Dowd made the statement some time ago that, the union machinists would get higher wages without resorting to a strike, and tnis is his method. His Idea is to create a scarcity of machinists In Battle Creek and thereby secure a raise in wages. Shocking Accident to Hearse. Thrown from the hearse in which they were being conveyed to the cemetery at East Berlin, near Capac, the bodies of Mrs. Sharp and her child were cut by flying glass, the casket was broken and ChrlB Walters, owner of the funeral wagon, and his driver were Injured when the hearse tipped over from a depression in the road. A panic resulted. Warship Michigan Shows Speed. The new battleship Michigan, now on her official trial trip off the Chesapeake capes, has already made a splendid record. A message received at the navy department stated that the ship yesterday made her four-hour speed run at the rate of 19.42 knots an hour, almost a full knot In excess of the contract requirement STATE BRIEFS.

The Home for the Friendless of Saginaw received $12,000 as the result of the probating of the will of Harry Bates, who died in 1894. Mayor E. E. Evans, of Bay City, has tendered his resignation that he may attend to his business matters more closely. Evans was elected a year ago. Scottville cltitens are considering, apparently with favor, the proposition of C. W. R. Roach, of the Hart Canning company, to erect a canning factory. The county board of supervisors has decided that the local option question shall be submitted to the voters at the coming spring election in Gogebic county.. Prof. A. S. Warthin, of the medical faculty at Ann Arbor, has 40 volumes of medical books in his library which were published in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. The women of Ingham county will be asked to state their opinions in regard to local option in the county. The petition will, it is said, be similar to that circulated among the men. Arrangements were completed whereby the inmates of the recently burned Michigan Masonic home at Grand Rapids will be cared for in a vacant fashionable clubhouse until June 1. The Wexford County Medical society has adopted a resolution to prescribe liquors only to persons at their bedside, in other words, to cut out giving prescriptions to those who have a bad cold. The advisory board of the Royal Arcanum of Michigan held a meeting at the Hotel Dresden. Flint, and selected Detroit as the place for the annual meeting, which will be held Tuesday, April 19. The board of supervisors of Gogebic county created a new township In the extreme eastern section of the county. It will be known as Carlson, in honor of Conrad Carlson, the first clerk of the county. With from 35 to 40 loads appearing on the market dally, the potato price slumped at Traverse City from 20 to 18 cents. Fearing a spring breakup the farmers seem to be willing to let go of their tubers at'any price. The Michigan Central railroad Is planning to build an extension from its Bay City line to some point on the St. Clair river. It is expected an extension will be built from Lenox to Rochester and Utica via Mt. Clemens. Congressman Fordney, at Washington, wired the Saginaw board of trade that either Secretary of State Knox or Secretary of Agriculture Wilson will speak at the annual merchants and manufacturers' banquet in March. The case of W. P. Parsons vs. Stewart Bills, Owos8o, over the location of a line fence, has been taken to the supreme court. The case Involves one-half acre of land valued at about $25, and has caused about $3,000 worth of litigation in the past 40 years. That Frank Wager, of Paines Station, whose dismembered body was found beside the Michigan Central tracks in Saginaw, came to his death by a freight train while intoxicated, and was not killed for hla money, was the verdict of the coroner's jury. Several thousand feet of lumber belonging to the Flint Lumber company, were washed into the river by a flood. An ice jam a few blocks west of Saginaw street, the main thoroughfare, has formed in Thread creek, causing an expanse of water of more than 200 feet. Cadillac will probably he the meeting place of the interstate commerce commission on March 24. The proposed meeting is for the purpose of giving a hearing to the Michigan Hardwood Manufacturers' association relative to the shipping rate from Michigan to the Pacific coast. A committee from the board of control of the Michigan Masonic Home was in Alma Thursday to investigate the sanitarium property relative to providing a place to care for the Inmates of the burned home at Grand Rapids, who are now being cared for at a hotel and private residences. Alleging that St. Joseph is losing hundreds of dollars because no assessment has been made against various residents for personal taxes, the Big Four railway has started suit against the city, contending that the present tax rolls are null and void. Several lodges and social clubs are included in the list. Monroe officials and opposition doctors Interfered In a recent case of scarlet fever In which City Physician F. R.

The man was Insured for $3,000 in the lodge, but had neglected to meet his last payment, and consequently his family could not collect anything. The lodge will furnish the necessary money to fight the case. 3E3E. 5= GENERAL STRIKE SEVERAL 8 M A L L RIOTS OCCUR IN VARIOU8 PARTS OF CITY. SCORES OF PEOPLE NURSE INJURIES FROM MINOR CLASHES W I T H POLICE. Trolley Men Propose Arbitration to 8ottle Difficulty With the Transit Co. The sympathetic strike of organ Ized labor in Philadelphia called to assist the street car men In their controversy with the Philadelphia Rapid Transit company was generally responded to by union workmeu. There are conflicting reports as to the number of men who quit work. The best estimates at hand vary from 30,- 000, given by the police department of the city, to 75,000 claimed by tne union leaders. General disorder marked the inaugural day of the great industrial conflict. There were numerous a»- reBts and scores of people are nursing slight injuries received in minor skirmishes with the police. Independence square was the scene of a great gathering of strikers. After the marchers left the square, they paraded through the central part of the city and numerous clashes occurred. Nothing more serious than a few "broken heads," however, resulted. With all the conflicting reports as to the extent of the strike, it la evident that Philadelphia's Industries are not yet prostrated by the conflict. The great industrial establishments, such as Baldwin's Locomotive works, Cramps' shipyard, Brill's Car works, the Midvale Steel works, all of which are "open shop" concerns, were in operation with practically their full force. World's Prayers to Shut 8aloons. The prayers of Christians throughout the world will, it Is ^announced, be turned against the Chicago saloons and for a local option victory on April 5, as a result of the entrance of the Chicago Christian, Endeavor union in the fight against the liquor traffic. Following a resolution adopted by delegates of 400 branches of the society In Chicago, 60,000,000 Christians will he asked to stop work at 9 o'clock each morning between now and election day and offer a prayer for aid in defeating the saloons of Chicago. The various branches of the Christian Endeavor union throughout 'the world have approximately 4,000,000 members. These will be asked to spread the request to members of the churches by means of denominational magazines and religious publications, and enlist their prayers in the fight. Farm Industry Now Booming. That the farming Industry is receiving an Impetus in some parts of the country at least is indicated in the rush for settlement of the public domain during the first six months of the current fiscal year. Notwithstanding that the extent of the national lands has steadily decreased through reservation and settlement, 110,000 entries were established during the first half of this year, while 81,000 was the total for the corresponding period of the preceding 12 months. This increase of 30,000 is attributed In large part to the 320-acre homestead act for the settlement of certain arid lands for dry farming. The craze for land has been especially evident In Montana. One hundred and eighty entries were made in one day at Great Falls in that state. John D.'s Cash for Chinese. That the incorporating of the Rockefeller Foundation provided for by a bill introduced in the United States senate by Senator Gallinger will be followed by widespread activity in China by John D. Rockefeller and his co-workers was the belief expressed at the University of Chicago when the news reached here. President Harry Pratt Judson declared that while the general education board, of which he Is a member, has power to direct educational efforts only In this country, the Rockefeller Foundation will have no limit as to Its activity. Dr. Hyde Indicted. Dr. B. Clarke Hyde, husband of « niece of the late Thomas H.

HOW A DOCTOR CURED SCALP DISEASE "When I was ten or twelve yeara old I had a scalp disease, something like scald head, though it wasn't that. I suffered for several months, and most of my hair came out. Finally they had a doctor to see me and he recommended the.Cuticura Remedies. They cured me in a few weeks.

CHANGE T H E VIBRATION It Makes for Health, A man tried leaving off meat, potatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with cream, some crisp toast and a cup of Postum. His health began to improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place once in a while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind puts aside food of low nutritive value and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed Into good, rich blood and strong tissue. A most valuable feature of Grape- Nuts la the natural phosphate of potash grown in the grains from which it is made. This is the element which transforms albumen in the body into the soft gray substance which fills brain and nerve centers. A few days' use of Grape-Nuts will give one a degree of nervoua strength well worth the trial. Look in pkgs for the little book, "The rtoad toWeUville." "There's a Reason."

SYN0P3I8. The story opens with th« Introduction of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massachusetts man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested In mining operations in Bolivia, he .was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by an Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him tUat war had been declared between Chile and Pemi and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin and discovered the English woman and her maid, Stephens quickly learned fhe wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darltngton's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. He explained the situation to her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken In order to go to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found It frozen in' a huge case of tee on an Island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain • of the expedition. CHAPTER XI.—Continued. This unexpected and undesirable information seemed fairly to stun the fellows, their eyes meeting blankly. I heard Bill Anderson swear. "The Question is, how can we best dispose of them? This Is no excursion for ladles, no pleasure trip of any kind, we've started on. Shall we hail some passing vessel and trans-shipthem, or shall we run in to Juan Fernandez and put them both safely ushore?" None of the three men ventured to glance toward me, and for" a long moment no answering voice spoke. Then Tuttle gave oily utterance to words of compromise. "Blame If this don't sort o' knock m*1 all out, sir," he acknowledged. "I don't exactly cotton to either of those idees of yours, an' I don't know what is best. I guess I'll have to talk It over with my mates here first, but vou can tell them ladies that we'll got "em out somehow before we turn south. Anyhow, they don't need to worry none 'bout beln' Ill-treated. Then I take it, sir, that you mean to sail with UP?" "There doesn't appear to be anything else I can do." "You're about, right there. Well, lei's shake hands on it." ' 1 did so, deliberately ignoring both the others, and feeling my flesh twitch when I touched his flabby palm. Tuttle chewed savagely on the tobacco in his cheek. "Damn the women!" he commented in sudden anger. "Better give the crew their breakfast, Anderson. Mr. Stephens, I've sent Dade into the cabin to attend things aft. He'll make a good hand at that sort, o' job." We passed out. together Into the bright sunlight on deck, and I remained in silence for a moment beside the rail, gazing forth across the empty soa. Had I done what was right in all these circumstances? Under God, I was not really certain; yet I could perceive no other action possible. A slenderly built, ^"toop-shouldered young fellow, who shuffled about like a waiter ashore, was in the pantry, and I noticed a white cloth spread over the table, which had been lowered from its stanchions and now occupied the center of the main cabin, and a swinging shelf suspended above. "Ever act in this capacity before, Dade?" I aBked, sizing him up in the dim light. "Oh, yes, sir," a slight lisp to his tongue; "I've done cabin work on thu coast liners." "Then you should surely understand your business. Lay covers for four." "Four, sir?" In surprise. "That is what I said, Dade; two ladies. Mr. Tuttle, and myself. That makes four to my figuring. Now step lively, my lad. When will breakfast be ready tn serve?" "In about 15 minutes, sir." t waittd until be became boa? wit* ht» 'work, hit face stM filled wit* asnazement 6rer a y revelation, then walked around the end of the piano, and rapped eoftly at the after-cabin door. ' Celeste opened the door with a dainty courtesy and a quick' uplifting of frightened eyea to my face. She had been crying, and in some way her vary manner made me suddenly aware how poorly I stood in..the estimation of her mistress and herself. Yet, for the moment, I did not seriously care, stepping quietly within, cap in hand, intent merely on the rapid completion of my visit. Lady Darlington arose instantly from her chair, steadying herself to the roll of the vetweLwlth one hand on the brass rail of the .bed, and fronted me silently, the expression of her face expectant but reserved. Gazing upon her, I felt the fully revealed power of her beauty, as the sunlight streaming through the open port illumined her hair and outlined the delicate oval of h6r face. Troubled as she was, surrounded by a terror no less real because she failed thoroughly to comprehend it, facing one she must distrust and secretly fear, her first utterance, friendly and courteous, merely exhibited a heart, which beat warmly beneath Its Blight armor of pride. "I am exceedingly glad to greet you again, Mr. Stephens," she said, pleasantly, even endeavoring to smile; "you were absent »o long we had begun to expect evil news." "1 regret to say, Lady Darlington, that I bring you only very little of any "Treasure!" She Gasped, "Where Do You Propose Going In Search?" kind," I replied, striving earnestly to imitate her self-possession. "Arrangements on board have not yet assumed definite shape, so that I can make no promise concerning your future. I can merely assure you present safety, and pledge you every comfort the yacht affords while you remain with us." She continued to gaze at me strangely, her eyes, filled with questioning. "Then you—you refuse to tell us our fate?" "Merely because I do not know It. As I said before I am only one man pitted against 20." She pressed her hand over her eyes, as though she would hide from me the sudden horror pictured within their depths. "What are you?" she exclaimed, suddenly, her lips trembling. "Into whose hands have we fallen? I beg that you av,r-\< v me honestly—why have you stolen this yacht? What real purpose underlies -this terrible outrage?" I made no effort to disguise the deep sympathy I felt for her, yet there was nothing I could answer but must, have sounded both harsh and cruel. "The motive animating the men in control is similar to that which rem ders possible most of the desperate deeds of the world—the search after treasure." "Treasure!" she gasped, thoroughly bewildered. "Where do you propose going to search?" "Far south, into the Antarctic." The expression on her face was pitiful, yet I stood helpless to comfort. "Merciful God! And you actually mean to bear us with you into that forsaken sea of ice? Oh, surely you jest, you seek to frighten;-you cannot be earnest in such act of 'cruelty. Whom can I believe? What, can I hope? You have told me you were the captain of this crew of buccaneers, and yet you say you can accomplish nothing with them to forward our release. Then take me to those who can! Let me beg upon my knees for mercy. Surely, surely we are of no value to you in your search after "•or.sure. We are only weak, helpless •...men. Think of what this must mean to me, and be merciful." There was no, trace of tears in her eyes, but it was the white, agonized face, the unconsciously outspread arms of appeal, that smote me. I felt all my limba tremble, my lips Ulter, as I made swift response. "Lady Darlington, believe me, I have no desire evcept honestly to serve you. The actual truth is, I have constat** to retain what is a purely Inal command of this vessel, with no other pwrposjo except that sueh outward authority yields ms some opportunity to assist and protect you. Otherwise-1 would spurn the whole affair and defy these outlaws to do their worst. It was a deplorable accident that brought me hero and planed me in this situation. Practically I am as much a prisoner on board as yourself. Laterrif the opportunity over bo given, I shall relate you my story, and then, perhaps, you will appreciate how perfectly helpless I am to overrule the decision of this vessel's crew. They are mad with the lust of gold, crazed by the prospect of suddenly achieving vast wealth through a single bold stroke. Would the tears of a woman influence them now? would the Impotent threat of a single, helpless man? They are armed, organized, determined, desperate. "The only thing I can do is apparently to yiejd to them, trusting thus to persuade them into some measure of mercy; and the only thing you can do is patiently to abide'my efforts to release you from such companionablp. I mean to do my best, even to the sacrifice of my life. The very thought of bearing you with us into the fogs and dangers of that storm-lashed ocean is misery to me. God knows I would do anything possible to spare you such a fate. But I wish you to understand, realize fully, how difficult my own position is. I do not bid you hope; only pray, and, above all, retain your courage. I promise nothing, because I dare venture no pledge. But I beseech you not to break down, not to exhibit open fear. In any event our first effort should be to awaken confidence in the mindB of our captors, and arrive at a frank understanding between ourselves. Lady Darlington, will you be guided in this by my judgment?" "Oh, I wish to believe," she sobbed, only half aloud, "I need some one, some one In whom I feel confidence, in whom I may repose faith. I beg of you not to consider me weak, a nerveless creature, but this situation 1B intolerable. I will endeavor to do what you ask. I will Btrlve to be brave, helpful, appreciative. I—I think you are what you say. See, I give you my hand in promise." I clasped it instantly within both my own, bending low above the white fingers, my lips set In firm resolve. I retained it still when I lifted my head, and our glances met. "What is it you first desire of me?" "Breakfast has been prepared, and is now awaiting us in the cabin," I answered, knowing well that some form of action must strengthen her more quickly than any further talk, "and I wish you to join us at the table exactly as though this was an ordinary voyage," "I know the food will choke me. Does Celeste sit with us?" "I believe you would prefer having her in the circumstances. You would not feel quite so much alone." "I should like it; it was most thoughtful upon your part. Shall— shall we be alone at table?" "With the exception of the first officer, who is really the leader on board." It was evident plainly enough that Rhe shrank from the ordeal, the delicate lines hardening about ths mouth, the gray eyes eloquent of disinclination. A moment she hesitated, her form swaying as though buffeted by a storm; then she slowly bent her head. "I am at your service, Mr. Stephens." In the main cabin we discovered the table already set and waiting, appearing bright and cheery with a brave display of snowy cloth and glittering silver, the swinging shelf above adorned by bottles and glass. "Call Mr. Tuttle, Dade,'* I ordered, quietly. "Then htirry back and) ienre/ CHAPtfcH XIIIn Which I Endeavor te Assert Authority. I was on deck again at noon, and shot the sun, returning below to work out oar position. The Sea Queen still held closely to her course, almost directly west, and, realizing my helplessness, I forebore asking useless questions. Indeed, I was secretly pleased that Tuttle stUl held to that point of the compass, for we were now in the direct path of Australian commerce, and hence much more likely to raise a sail at any moment than it we veered farther to the southward. If any such vessel appeared I had determined to pit my strength against the crew, even to the point of physical danger. At one o'clock Dade called the women, and soon the four^of us weie seated at table again. My lady's masv ner weighed upon my spirits, which had been none of the lightest before her appearance. I felt profoundly that the faint influence my previous words had Inspired within her mind had already evaporated; that she now held me as at one with the remainder off the yacht's crew. I arose as they retired from the table, but received no reward of recognition from her averted eyes. Feeling deserted, almost humiliated, I smoked my pipe alone oa deck under the lee of the cabin. But it was perfectly useless loitering there, with no duties to perform, and the sea all about bare to the far horizon. Besides, some sailor instinct told me a storm was brewing yonder to the northward which might keep me upon the bridge all night, so, In preparation for such a possibility, I went below and lay down in my bunk. I was a long time getting asleep, finally dropping off only to be aroused by the rattling of dishes when Dade arranged the table for the last meal of the day. De Nova was pacing the bridge and emerged from the companion. I could not see the seaman who hailed, the mist held so thick, and his words seemed like a weak echo. "Sail, almost directly ahead, sir." "W'ereaway?" asked De Nova, peerlug anxiously forward. "I can see nossing. Fo'c'sT zare—you see ee ship?" "Nothin' in sight from here, sir." The mate stared up into the vapor overhead. "Ware was It you see it, you fellow on ze foreyard?" The odd echo of a voice came back out of the sky. "I only caught her through a hole In the fog, sir, one point off the weatherbow." With a swift bound I was up the steps to the bridge and beside the second officer, recklessly determined lo assume command. Before he clearly realized my presence I jangled the bells in the engine room. "Hold her steady as she Is," I said sternly to the fellow grasping the wheel. De Nova wheeled and faced me, his black eyes full of sudden anger. "Wat ze hell you mean?" he exclaimed, so surprised he stuttered. "1 was officer of ze deck." "And I am commanding the yacht, Mr. De Nova," I retorted quickly, pushing back his hand from the signal, "I propose speaking that vessel yonder, and trans-shipping our passengers. Port a little, my man—no, port, you fool!—now hold her so; steady." De Nova grasped my arm, his fingers like steel, but I broke away, pressing in between him and the rail.

"William, dear," feebly called the invalid wife, who was supposed to be nearing the end of her earthly career. "Yes, darling," answered the sorrowing husband. "What is it?" "When I am gone," said she, "I feel that for the sake of the motherless little ones you should marry again." "Do you really think It would be bost, darling?" asked the faithful William. "Yes, William, I really do," replied the invalid. "After a reasonable length of time you should seek the companionship of some good woman." "Do you know, my dear?" said the husband, "that you have lifted a great burden from my mind? Now, there is that charming Widow Jones across the way. She has acted rather friendly toward me ever since you were taken III. Of coarse, dear-she could never fill your place, but she is young, plump and pretty, and I'm sure she would do her best to lessen my grief."

ANDREWS. PublUbvr. JINCKNET, - MICHIGAN THE INQLI5H SPARROW. If the Engilah sparrow were not such a hardy Uttle rascal, so well able to take care of himself and thjrtve and multiply, how our pity would go out toward him! Especially might we now allow our generous feelings to flow, when the department of agriculture has Just Issued a farmer's bulletin In which It has nothing really good to say about this dweller everywhere and offers various means for getting rid of him. But the English sparrow needs no pity, s»ya Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. He will live by grace or without it, and we may expect that, not withstanding the bulletins, we shall continue always to have him with us, hardy, prolific, bold, cunning, self-reliant and unwashed. The bulletin— and It Is sadly In accord with popular experience—represents this active neighbor of human kind as a dyed-in-the-wool criminal among birds. He attacks, it seems, almost every sort of vegetation useful for food, preys on his own kind by destroying their eggs and driving them from gardens and parks and has no melodious pean to offer after his victories. He should be treated as vermin, and reduced in number, even if he cannot be exterminated. To be sure, the bulletin does not offer one forlorn hope. Mr. Dearborn of the biological survey says that he ought to be eaten. The propositions emanating from the United States, looking to the creation of an international peace court and to the neutralisation of the railroads in Manchuria as a step to" Harmony of all interests in that Quarter, have made a profound impression and are regarded as measures of world politics of the highest significance and pointing to most beneficent results. That is the best and noblest of diplomacy, and again Illustrates the lead which the United States is taking lir seeking to promote good understanding and to safeguard peace among the nations. Aspirations to such "world power* as this, which means the welfare of all mankind, must be approved by even the most stubborn "anti." According to the later details the one failuft at the aviation meet in Los Angeles was that of a government dirigible balloon, Which it was found could not hold gas and therefore could not be used in flying. This hints at a weak spot In this class of airships and may strengthen the cause of the aeropianists,', who contend that the heavierthan- air machine, properly constructed and operated, is the real thing. Anyway, it must be admitted that this class of air craft won most of the distinction at the California show. Mexico reports that its agricultural products last year were worth $330,- 000,000. That is a very creditable showing, though It looks small alongside of the $8,000,000,000 output of the United States. But, added to the Increasing value of the products of Mexican Industries of various kinds, it is gratifying as indicating the growth and prosperity of our southern neighbor. The plea of meaning no harm 1B one often advanced as an excuse for wrongdoing. A man of average intelligence who intends no wrong will keep within due limits and not take chances of wrong resulting. Many are too often satisfied with this vague and unmeaning excuse to their conscience, but it has little weight either in reason or law.

The board of river and harbor engineers has recommended the appropriation of $686,000 to give an IS-foot channel in the bay to Bay City, and a 16-foot channel in the river to Saginaw. The board accepts without change the original recommendation of Col, /Townsend which provided that the 16-foot channel be carried to the Tlttabawassee river, at the upper city limits of Saginaw. Corporations Early With Annual Reports. State and foreign corporations in great numbers are filing their annual reports with the secretary of state these days, in compliance with the law which requires the reports to be filed by March 31 each year. Any corporation In default 10 days thereafter automatically loses Its corporate powers. Within two days over 1,200 reports have been filed, each accompanied by a fee of 50 cents. It is estimated that there are 7,000 corporations doing business in Michigan, and the number increases each year. Figures for the calendar year 1909 show that the trade between the United States and Canada was the largest ever known for an equal period. Moreover, the figures prove that the business done by the countries with each other has doubled In ten years. That does not Indicate that either side Is barring out the other.

An exodus of 100 union machinists Is on* of the results of the campaign recently begun by the union organisers in their efforts to make Battle Cresk feel the power of organized labor. These men have, through the efforts of Organizer Clarence Dowd, of Detroit, secured positions throughout s e state at higher wages. They are >aving in small groups to take up their work. Most of the men are married and have families. Dowd made the statement some time ago that, the union machinists would get higher wages without resorting to a strike, and tnis is Ms method. His idea is to create a scarcity of machinists in Battle Creek and thereby secure a raise in wages. Shocking Accident to Hearse.

Nothing more Herious than a few "broken heads," however, resulted. With all the conflicting reports as to the extent of the strike, it is evident that Philadelphia's industries are not yet prostrated by the conflict.

That the farming Industry is receiving an Impetus In some parts of the country at least is indicated in the rush for settlement of the public domain during the first six months of the current fiscal year. Notwithstanding that the extent of the national lands has steadily decreased through reservation and settlement, 110,000 entries were established during the first half of this year, while 81,000 was the total for the corresponding period of the preceding 12 months. This increase of 30,000 is attributed In large part to the 320-acre homestead act for the settlement of certain arid lands for dry farming. The craze for land has been especially evident in Montana. One hundred and eighty entries were made in one day at Great Falls in that state. John D.'s Cash for Chinese.

A man tried leaving off meat, potatoes, coffee, and etc., and adopted a breakfast of fruit, Grape-Nuts with cream, some crisp toast and a cup of Postum. His health began to Improve at once for the reason that a meat eater will reach a place once in a while where his system seems to become clogged and the machinery doesn't work smoothly. A change of this kind puts aside food of low nutritive value and takes up food and drink of the highest value, already partly digested and capable of being quickly changed into good, rich blood and Btrong tissue. A most valuable feature of Grape- Nuts is the natural phosphate of potash grown in the grains from which it is made. This Is the element which transforms albumen in the body into the soft gray substance which fills brain and nerve centers.

JteduiK * Co..l*9t SYNOPSIS. The story open* with the Introduction f J<- - - chug* of John Stephens, adventurer, a MassasetU man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Being interested in mining operations in Bolivia, he .was denounced by Chile as an insurrectionist and as a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted JQjf an Englishman and a young woman. Btephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told him tUat war had been declared between Chile and Pesu and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean vessel, should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Btephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final instructions. They boarded the vessel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the departure of the craft. He entered the cabin and discovered the English woman and her maid, Stephens quickly learned rhe wrons vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. He explained the situation to her ladyship. Then First Mate Tuttle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken In order to go to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former -voyage he had learnod that the Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found it frozen In* a huge case of Ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain • of the expedition. CHAPTER XI.—Continued. This unexpected and undesirable information seemed fairly to stun the fellows, their eyes meeting blankly. I heard Hill Anderson swear. "The question ia, how can we best dispose of them? This is no excursion for ladies, no pleasure trip of any kind, we've started on. Shall we hail some passing vessel and trans-shipthem, or shall we run in to Juan Fernandez and put them both safely ushore?" None of the three men ventured to glance toward me, and for- a long moment no answering roice spoke. Then Tuttle gave oily utterance to words of compromise. "Blame if this don't sort o' knock mo all out, sir," he acknowledged. "I dour exactly cotton to either of those idees of yours, an' I don't know what is best. I guess I'll have to talk It over with my mates here first, but you can tell them ladies that we'll get 'em out somehow before^Ve turn south. Anyhow, they don't need to worry none 'bout bein' ill-treated. Then I take it, sir, that you mean to sail with us?" "There doesn't appear to be anything else I can do." "You're about right there. Well, lei's shake hands on it." ' I did so, deliberately ignoring both the others, and feeling my flesh twitch when I touched his flabby palm. Tuttle chewed savagely on the tobacco in his cheek. "Damn the women!" he commented in sudden anger. "Better give the crew their breakfast, Anderson. Mr. Stephens, I've sent Dade into the cabin to attend things aft. He'll make a good hand at that sort o' job." We passed out together into the bright, sunlight on deck, and I remained in silence for a moment, beside the rail, gazing forth across the empty sea. Had I done what was right in all these circumstances? Under God, I was not reallycertain; yet I could perceive no other action possible. A slenderly built, ^loop-shouldered young fellow, who shuffled about like a waiter ashore, waa in the pantry, and I noticed a white cloth spread over the table, which had been lowered from its stanchions and now occupied the center of the main cabin, and a swinging shelf suspended above. "Ever act in this capacity before, Dade?" I asked, sizing him up In the dim light. "Oh, yes, sir," a slight lisp to hi? tongue; "I've done cabin work on tru coast liners." "Then you should surely understand your business. Lay covers for four." "Four, sir?" in surprise. "That is what I said, Dade; two ladies. Mr. Tuttle, and myself. That makes four to my figuring. Now step lively, my lad. When will breakfast be ready to serve?" "In about 15 minutes, sir.* t waited until fee became busy wit* hi* 'work, his face sUH filled wit* amazement Over ray revelation, then walked around the end of the piano, and rapped softly at the after-cabin door,r Celeste opened -the door with a dainty courtesy and a quick, upliftia* of frightened eyee to my face. She had been crying, and in some way her very manner made me suddenly aware bow poorly I stood in.the estimation of her mistress and herself. Yet, for the moment, I did not seriously care, stepping quietly within, cap in hand/ Intent merely on the rapid completion of my visit. Lady Darlington arose instantly from her chair, steadying herself to the roll of the vesseLwith one hand on the braes rail of the Jbed, and fronted me silently, the expression of her face expectant but reserved. Gazing upon her, I felt the fully revealed power of her beauty, as the sunlight streaming through the open port illumined her hair and outlined the delicate oval of her face. Troubled as she was, surrounded by a terror no less real because she failed thoroughly to comprehend It, facing one she must distrust and Becretly fear, her first utterance, friendly and courteous, merely exhibited a heart, which beat warmly beneath its slight armor of pride. "I am exceedingly glad to greet you again, Mr. Stephens," she said, pleasantly, even endeavoring to smile; "you were absent so long we had begun to expect evil news." "I regret to say, Lady Darlington, that I bring you only very little of any "Treasure!" She Gasped, "Where Do You Propose Going in Search?" kind," I replied, striving earnestly to imitate her self-possession. " rrangements on board have not yet assumed definite shape, so that I can make no promise concerning your future, I can merely assure you present safety, and pledge you every comfort the yacht affords while you remain with us." She continued to gaze at me strangely, her eyes, filled with questioning. "Then you—you refuse to tell us our fate?" "Merely because T do not know it. As I said before I am only one man pitted against 20." She pressed her hand over her eyes, as though she would hide from me the sudden horror pictured within their depths. "What are you?" she exclaimed, suddenly, her lips trembling. "Into whose hands have we fallen? I beg that you an.- v i me honestly—why have you stolen this yacht? What real purpose underlies .this terrible outrage?" I made no effort to disguise the deep sympathy I felt for her, yet there was nothing I could answer but must have sounded both harsh and cruel. "The motive animating the men In control is similar to that which rem ders possible most of the desperate deeds of the world—the search after treasure." "Treasure!" she gasped, thoroughly bewildered. "Where do you propose going to search?" "Far south, into the Antarctic." The expression on hrr face was pitiful, yet I stood helpless to comfort. "Merciful God! And you actually mean to bear us with you into that forsaken sea of ice? Oh, surely you jest, you seek to frighten;- you cannot be earnest in such act of "cruelty. Whom can I believe? What can I hope? You have told me you were the captain of this crew of buccaneers, and yet you say yo\i can accomplish nothing with them to forward our release. Then take me to those who can! Let me beg upon my knees for mercy. Surely, surely we are of no value to you in your search after »vr^suve. We are only weak, helpless vw..men. Think of what this must mean to me, and be merciful." There was no. trace of tears in her eyes, but it was the white, agonized face, the unconsciously outspread arms of appeal, that smote me. I felt all my limbs tremble, my lips Uher, as I made swift response. "Lady Darlington, believe me, I have no desire except honestly to serve you. The actual truth is.Ihaveconseated to retaia what is a purely inal command of this ••seel, with no other purpose except that such outward authority yields me some opportunity to assist and protect you. Otherwise-1 would spurn the whole affair and defy these outlaws.til do their worst It was a deplorable accident that brought mo hero and plaeed me ia this situation. Practically X am as muqb a prisoner on board as yourself. Latorrif the opportunity ever be given, I shall relate you my story, and then, perhaps, you will appreciate how perfectly helpless I am to overrule the decision of this vessel's crew. They are mad with the lust of gold, erased by the prospect of suddenly achieving vast wealth through a single bold stroke. Would the tears of a woman influence them now? would the impotent threat of a single, helpless man? They are armed, organised, determined, desperate. "The only thing l e a n do is apparently to ytald to them, trusting thus to persuade them into some measure of mercy; and the only thing you can do is patiently to abide'my efforts to release you from such companionship. I mean to do my best, even to the sacrifice of my life. The very thought of bearing you with us into the fogs and dangers of that storm-lashed ocean Is misery to me. God knows I would do anything possible to spare you such a fate. But I wish you to understand, realize fully, how difficult my own position is. I do not bid you hope; only pray, and, above all, retain your courage. I promise nothing, because I dare venture no pledge. But I beseech you not to break down, not to exhibit open fear. In any event our first effort should be to awaken confidence In the minds of our captors, and arrive at a frank understanding between ourselves. Lady Darlington, will you be guided in this by my judgment?" "Oh, I wish to believe," she Bobbed, only half aloud, "I need some one, some one in whom I feel confidence, in whom I may repose faith. I beg of you not to consider me weak, a nerveless creature, but this situation is intolerable. I will endeavor to do what you ask. I will strive to be brave, helpful, appreciative. I—I think you are what you say. See, I give you my hand in promise." I clasped it Instantly within both my own, bending low above the white fingers, my lips set in firm resolve. I retained it still when I lifted my head, and our glances met. "What is it you first desire of me?" "Breakfast has been prepared, and is now awaiting us in the cabin," I answered, knowing well that some form of action must strengthen her more quickly than any further talk, "and I wish you to join us at the table exactly as though this was an ordinary voyage." "I know the food will choke me. Does Celeste sit with us?" "I believe you would prefer having her In the circumstances. You would not feel quite so much alone." "I should like it; it was most thoughtful upon your part. Shall— shall we be alone at table?" "With the exception of the first officer, who is really the leader on board." It was evident plainly enough that she shrank from the ordeal, the delicate lines hardening about the mouth, the gray eyes eloquent of disinclination. A moment she hesitated, her form swaying as though buffeted by a storm; then she slowly bent her head. "I am at your service, Mr. Stephens." In the main cabin we discovered the table already set and waiting, appearing bright and cheery with a brave display of snowy cloth and glittering silver, the swinging shelf above sdornod by bottjos an* Haas. "Call Mr. Tuttle, Dads," I ordered quietly. "Then*hurry bnckan*sttro. T * " ; CHAPTfcrt"XII. \ '. . t , ' \n Which ! Kndeaver to Assert Ait. Hhority. I was on deck again at noon, and shot the sun, returning below to work out our position. The Sea Queen still held closely to her coarse, almost directly west, and, realizing my helplessness, I forebore asking useless questions. Indeed, I was secretly pleased that Tuttle still held to that point of the compass, for we were now in the direct path of Australian commerce, and hence much more likely to raise a sail at any moment than If we veered farther to the southward. If any such vessel appeared I had determined to pit my strength against the crew, even to the point of physical danger. At one o'clock Dade called the women, and soon the four^ef us wore seated at table again. My lady's ma**: ner weighed upon my spirits, which had been none of the lightest before her appearance. I felt profoundly that the faint influence my previous words had Inspired within her mind had already evaporated; that she now held me as at one with the remainder of the yacht's crew. I arose as they retired from the table, but received no reward of recognition from her averted eyes. Feeling deserted, almost humiliated, I smoked my pipe alone on deck under the lee of the cabin. But it was perfectly useless loitering there. with no duties to perform, and the sea all about bare to the far horizon. Besides, some sailor Instinct told me a storm was brewing yonder to the northward which might keep me upon the bridge all night, so, in preparation for such a possibility, I went below and lay down in my bunk. I waa a long time getting asleep, finally dropping off only to be aroused by the rattling of dishes when Dade arranged the table for the last meal of the day. De Nova was pacing the bridge and emerged from the companion. I could not see the seaman who hailed, the mist held so thick, and his words seemed like a weak echo. "Sail, almost directly ahead, sir." "W'ereaway?" asked De Nova, peering anxiously forward. "I can see nossing. Fo'c'sT tare—you see ze ship?" "NothhV in sight from here, sir." The mate stared up Into the vapor overhead. "Ware was it you see it, you fellow on ze foreyard?" The odd echo of a voice came back out of the sky. "I only caught her through a hole in the fog, sir, one point off the weatherbow." With a swift bound I was up the steps to the bridge and beside the second officer, recklessly determined to assume command. Before he clearly realized my presence I jangled the bells in the engine room. "Hold her steady as she is," I said sternly to the fellow grasping the wheel. De Nova wheeled and faced me, his black eyes full of sudden anger. "Wat ze hell you mean?" he exclaimed, so surprised he stuttered. "1 was officer of se deck." "And I am commanding the yacht, Mr. De Nova," I retorted quickly, pushing back his hand from the signal, "I propose speaking that vessel yonder, and trans-shipping our passengers. Port a little, my man—no, port, you fool!—now hold her so; steady." De Nova grasped my arm, his fingers like steel, but I broke away, pressing in between him and the rail. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

There is no doubt but this is the case and that thousands of dollars are annually sent out of town, that should be spent with the home dealers and those who are paying taxes in the town and county of which we all are a part However, we cannot see the difference between Bending to a "mail order concern" for a pair of shoes or a stove, and a merchant buying government printed envelopes or using stationary furnished by a soap company or other manfact u re r. The home newspaper devotes columns towards helping build up a town and then sees many of his business men using "outside printed stationary" and government printed envelopes. We are not afraid of the competition of the general run of printing concerns, but do not believe it right for the government to enter into competition and establish a store for selling theft goods in every town in the United States and make the people, the printers as well as others, pay not only the salary of the man who sells the goods but the cost of mailing the circular advertisements of their printed matter. ; Manufacturers and dealers have suffared this destructive competition in silence for many years, but of late the Post Office Department has been so agressive and persistant in its efforts to increase the use of printed stamped envelopes that they are forced to make vigorous protest. The department has even repeatedly distributed broadcast through the mails without postage, and by the agency of postmen directly, immense quantities of artfully written and illustrated circulars urging people to use more Goverment stamped envelopes. Reports from various parts of the country indicate that this promotion campaign has been so successful that from 10 to 25 per cent of all business envelopes used are furnished by the Post Office department. We have entered the field against the mail order concerns as we believe it is for the best interest of the village to do so and we have always stood for our home town first of all and the people who help pay our taxes and make it possible for us to have a "home town" and a market for the products of the surrounding farms.

Wouuded at ths battle or Las GuttHluiaa, I was taken to a hospital. There a bullet was taken out of me, and 1 was left to ap«ud what time was ueceaaary for the wound to heal. . The moral ig after the operation I was lyiutf ou my cot reading a newspaper that was belug banded around among the patients when the door of che ward opened, a woman entered and began talking cheerily with the man Bhe first reached. A bunch of flowers was in her band, and before leaving the patient she gave him a few of them. Thus she came on, giving encouraging words, smiles and flowers to the sick and wounded till she reached my cot. Now, I was "born with a silver spoon in my mouth" and accustomed to have anything I wished for. Before the lady came up I had made up my mind that if she were unmarried Bhe should be my wife. She approached me with one of the sweet smiles she bad been scattering broadcast and said: "It must be very hard for you to be lying here "in this hot country. Are you ill or wounded?" "Wouuded." "Don't think about your wound. The doctors say that if one thinks despondently about any part of the body all the impurities go In that direction. Let me give you something to fix your attention upon." She handed me a few of the flowers, for which I thanked her, and she passed me. I asked one of the nurses who she was and was told that she had come to Cuba from the United States for the purpose not of nursing soldiers, but to go about among them encouraging them as I had seen her doing. I asked what part of the United States she had come from, but no one seemed to know. She visited the sick every day, and they were always better for her coming. Indeed, the nurses seemed to think that she cured more men than the doctors. Day after day I watched for her till she came again. As before, she distributed flowers and smiles, the smiles being more highly appreciated than the flowers. She came to our ward about once in four or five days, and the patients, who failed to lenrn her name, spoke of her as the flower lady. One of the nurses asked her to Rive her a name by which to address her, but she declined on the ground that she did not wish it known at home— and the newspaper correspondents would surely publish it—that she was engaged In th work. She preferred to give whatever of comfort she could without having any heroics attached. If anything were needed to complete my reverence for the flower lady this modesty would have been quite sufficient. I dared not by word or even manner reveal the secret of my heart to her. I simply showed my gratitude. The slightest evidence of what burned within me would have caused her to cease her visits, If not to the ward at least to me. And in that case, confined as I was, I could not go to her. Long before the surgeon was wilting to release me 1 got up. dressed myself and returned to duty. My colonel hesitated whether or no to send me back to the hospital, but concluded, being short of officers, to let me remain with the regiment. The day after my return to camp after visiting brigade headquarters he told me that, the genera! having lost one of his aid-decamps by sickness and another by a bulJet, I was to be temporarily detailed for the lighter duties of the staff. The general was but a few years older than myself and made a com panion of me. We became confidential, and I told him of the flower lady, admitted the influence she had exerted over me and that when it were possible I would move heaven and earth to win her for my wife. He asked me if the lady had encouraged me. and I exonorated her from giving me any more attention than the commonest trooper in the ward. There was so much on hand immediately after this that the subject was not again referred to between us. One morning during the fighting about Santiago, just before mounting our horses for what promised to be a hot day's work, the general handed me a sealed envelope. "In cane I oome out of the fight alive today." he said, "give that, back to me. If 1 am killed open It." "Put why. general," 1 naked, stir priso<l. "<ln you take that precaution today especially. We are fighting every day?" "Because," he replied. "I have a feeling that I shall be killed today." His foot was in the stirrup, and he mounted and rode away. During the same afternoon under a hot fire of SpAntoh artillery he ssat.me away with an order. As I turned from^hn something prompted ms^ojs^lrpacg. He had fallen from his horse and lay oo the ground, A tremor passed over him, and be was dead. When the general's body was sent north the flower lady went in ths Mine ship. Meanwhile X had opened the envelope handed me by the general and read the contents with astonishment. It revealed that the flower lady was his wife.

"You won't have any trouble getting a girl to go with you, but if a not much of an outlook for her." "How about me?" "She'll be constantly mourning for civilisation and to see her do so will be very hard on you." "You wouldn't marry a man who was intending to take you to sneb a country, would you?"

Ltd.) ' All the year round, but particularly fJtf In Bummer. IMnard boasts of an extensive cOiony of English families who come'to settle down there for a time on the Breton coast to take the sea hatha and contemplate the beauties- of the ocean. Of course, besides these strangers quantities of French come too, and the children of the two nations unite to amuse themselves, but the English invent the forms of etxiuaement During the season of which I am about to speak, the French de Dufre? lUes, Lariboia and de Pegroles were most intimate with the English Bransons, Maxfords and Vyltons. Into this charmed circle several young men were admitted, among them a young poet just gaining renown, who came every season to Saint Enogat and several officers from the neighboring barracks. Every day some new diversion was planned, such as a fishing party one day, tennis the next, sailing, excursions Into the country round about, and when the weather permitted of no roaming, a tea first at one house and then at another, filled up the season. In order to vary the monotony Petrus, the poet, had suggested a picnic on the beach, a proposition which was accepted with unanimity. Each person invited was to bring some one dish, and it was to be kept a grand secret what it was going to be, the surprise that was to follow its production being the principal attraction of this "al fresco" feast Each housekeeper was racking her brain to think of something out of the ordinary, and the picnic promised some delicious culinary, surprises. The evening before the momentous event, the poet called at the home of the Countess de Dufreville. "1 have come to bid you goodby," said he, "and to tell you, to my great regret, that I shall not be able to join you on the picnic; unfortunately 1 must go away this evening." "That is really too bad," cried the Countess, "Must you really go tonight?" "Yes, Important business Interests call me to Paris." "And you cannot be with us, you who originated the picnic!" "I regret it exceedingly, but It will be impossible for me to be there!" "We had counted on you for a culinary poem." "Ah, I shall furnish my surprise all the same," said the poet, laughing. "But I'm sure you are going to take the most delicious dish, do tell me What it will be." "Oh, I don't dare tell." "Even though I am going away?" "That's true; you'll keep my secret, won't you?" "I swear It" "Well, I am going to take a superb pheasant which my husband sent me." "A pheasant, that's too bad!" cried the poet; "don't take that." "Why not?" "Oh, because I have just come from Madame Laribois and that is what she Is going to take." "Really?" "Alas, yea." "What an annoying coincidence!" "You'll have to change yotrr dish," went On Petrus, "two pheasants would be too much of a good thing, besides to wanting In originality." "Without doubt! What shall I do?" "Would you permit me to advise youf "With pleasure." "Well, subsitute a tiny roast pig for the pheasant." "Good! that's a splendid Idea." "No one else will think of it." 'That seems very probable." "And your dish will, at least, have the merit of not being platltudlnal." "You have saved my life," said the Countess, jokingly," not every poet has so much ingenuity." "You flatter me," answered Petrus modestly. "I thank you a thousand times," cried his hostess. "You are too good, don't mention It." said the poet, bowing himself out of the room. Walking rapidly down the street he soon found himself at the house of Madame Laribois, wife of the rich banker. To her he likewise said he must go away and ended by advising her to take a roast pig. His next visit was to Mrs. Branson, wife of a retired English colonel of the Horse Guards. "As I have to go to Paris to-night. I have come to bid you goodby," began the poet. "Oh," said Mrs. Branson, whose French, If not broken was decidely fraetured, "you are going to leave before the picnic, that Is* very unkind of you.** "But believe me, dear martamty no one can regret it more than L" "Oh. yes, I do." "Thanks, but do tell me, I am all curiosity, what disk are you going to take?" "I intend to take a .plum-pudding." "Oh, don't take that," cried the poet, "Why not, may I aakr $•• "Because that it Ktaf to fe» Madame Laribois* dish.** "Oh, really; what shall titif*" "Will you let »% Mtfcvjr* but of this complication?"* "Oh. would you?** "With the greatest pleasure. You want to take a dish of which no ana else has thought?" "Yes, indeed; that's exactly what I want." "Well, take a little roast pig." "All right, I'll take a pig. and I'm awfully much obliged to -you for the suggestion." The spot chosen for the picnic was six miles from Saint Enogat. and promptly at the appointed hour* all the guests arrived, u o Wot' •ere seated on the gras% whfle t s * servants with great secrecy went to bring the mysterious dish each housekeeper had brought to the lunch. "Now let the feast appear!" called out Lord Vylton, dramatically. Then came a procession of servants —first the butler of the Countess, bearing a roast pig, then Madame Laribois' man carrying a roast pig. then another servant and a pig, then another and another with baby porkers, until everyone's servant had filed by with a tiny roast pig on a platter. A perfect scream of laughter followed a moment of stupefaction. "Nothing to eat but these.horrid little beasts," cried Mrs. Branson. And as if from one man arose a cry of "Oh, if we only had Petrus here!" TELESCOPE FLOATS IN WATER Instrument at Harvard University Observatory One of Largest in World—In Con crete Tank. At the Harvard University Observatory a gigantic telescope floats in a tank of water. It is one of the largest in the world, the reflecting mirror being five feet wide. Mounted on a water-tight cylindrical steel float the telescope swings In a concrete tank full of water, only Blightly larger than the cylinder, which is designed to fit it closely and serve as a pivot for the telescope, instead of having it mounted on a solid base. Machinery at each side holds and guides i t The water bears the weight, and the movements of the telescope are regulated by tiny electric motors; the gigantic mirror can be easily removed and resilvered, when it grows dim, although two tons are indicated when it is placed on the scales. Through this telescope stars of the sixteenth and eighteenth Magnitude are revealed, and it seems to penetrate Into the very abysses of the heavens. While* the instrument Is mounted in the open air, the image is reflected to an eye-piece, in an adjoining building, where the astronomer sits and makes calculations in which millions of miles, are dealt with as indifferently as the simplest SUGQB in ordinary book-keeping. The first look through a great telescope is disappointing, but the novice soon cees that the flat appearance which the heavens present to the naked eye is replaced by a curious concavity; the moon and stars seem to be hung in space rather than spread out on a flat surface. For a moment one feels at th-j telescope like a child watching the swift-moving balls kept in the air by a juggler, and expecting to Bee one of those great hright bodies fall. Then comes the thought—"What keeps them there, apparently suspended in space with absolutely nothing to hold them firm? The explanation of the learned astronomer causes the brain of the layman to whirl, and he sees himself, perhaps for the first time, as a child gathering pebbles on the great shores of the sea of knowledge, or as "an infant crying for the light—and with no language but a cry."—National Magazine.

The shovel is thrust under the sod umtl it can go no further. Then the knife is jammed down and the whole withdrawn with a neat piece of sod. The operatiou consumes only a fraction of the time required to dig out a piece of turf by the old method, and has the additional merit of'bringing the sod out whole and with smooth sides, and not in.the Uagged shape that it sometimes is cut. n the middle of the handle of thti tool Is a catch to engage the knife section and hold it out of the way when it 1B not needed to cut the sod loose.

Chemical or commercial fertilizers are marked by a high degree of availability. In a majority of cases the actual plant food is largely at once soluble in water. For this reason such manures give Immediate results, except when seasons are very abnormal or the tillage very low grade. the farmer in solving these difficulties. It discusses a run-down farm in Illinois and plans six different types of farming that may be substituted for the usual one of corn and oats now practiced, so as to raise the Income all the way from two to five times as much as that commonly received, and at the same time Increase the fertility of the soil.

Nino hundred million dollars' worth of Agricultural products were exported from the United StateB last y*ar, according to the bureau of statistics iu the department of commerce and labor. Secretary Wilson says that the total was ¢8,776,000,000, so that a lit- "tlo more than 10 pe* cent, of our farm products were. MM Abroad and the home coniMMMff* ajam to be content with Uf I l 1 » » m frfBfe-tenths. This Is a hejJtW'tntfftfon, but doubtlesa fceips 10 «Sttata the high price of protfaloas fa this country. Secretary Wttaon thinks the high prices are due to the fact that there are too few farmers and too many distributers, too many young men rushing to the city, Instead of staying home and tilling the soil, if we are to supply Europe us well as America with food stuffs we must increase the number of farmers with the increase of our population, and if farming la made and continues sufficiently profitable there will be no lack of farmers. The poor rewards of farming in the past have driven the farmer boys to other pursuits. There will be a cry of "back to the farm" as soon as it Is clear that there is money In farming commensurate with the toll which it exacts from those whose livelihood Is the cultivation of the soil. Certainly the gentleman who undertake to explain the cause of high prices of necessaries of life should reach some sort of agreement and harmonize their views before they try to enlighten the public. For weeks the big packers and others have been saying that meat is so dear because the people eat BO much and the supply is not equal to the demand. But here come the shoe manufacturers declaring that the people are turning vegetarians, and that with so few animals killed for food there is a shortage in skins and hides. Here are two radically different stories. Which is the consumer to believe? An Indianapolis man returned from Alaska wealthy, and gave to his parents, to whom he had been as one dead for 20 years, a check for $5,000 to make them feel that he was Btlll their son. Cases oT this kind are frequent enough to cause thought as to whether those who disappear in that way and cause anxiety and sorrow covering half an average life can ever make amend with demonstrations of affection from the check book. Enoch Ardens without proper explanation as to their absence are In the same class, and there is always doubt as to the quality of thf* sympathy that should be expressed. Crete continues to be a stormy petrel in European politics. Notwithstanding recent warnings the Cretans manifest a rebellious spirit and have so rftirred up the protective powers that fresh warnings against further agitation have been Issued. Crete is n small and relatively insignificant spot on the map. But when it keeps some of the greatest nations in the world on the anxious seat owing to doubt as to what the Cretans will do next it shows extraordinary capacity for trouble making. The claim that men could make a better business administration of foreign missionary affairs than women if they would only take as much interest in them, will be denied by anybody who has ever patronized an oyster supper given to raise foreign mis- Bion funds. The ladies have reduced the ratio to one oyster to the bowl and the best business talent In the world could do no mora by way of do* ing less. Luther Burbank, the plant wizard, is trying to cheer meat boycotters with the assertion that the spineless cactus may, in the course of time, take the place of meat on the table. But the meat, eater of the present will, without discrediting the Burbank production, feel satisfied to let the spineless cactus solve the meat problem of the far future. A Turk who wished to become a resident of this conutry has been deported because he said, when he was qupstioned by the immigration officials, that he believed it would be right for him to marry all the woman he could support. The officials probably had reasons for believing that his Judgment as to What would coast!- tttte support was faulty. ! • • I I ^ , * • » » • »• < ^ • ' ' SNOW HELPED CROPS GREATLY SO SAY CORRESPONDENTS IN A REPORT COVERING CONDITION FOR FEBRUARY. ESCAPED MURDERERS CAPTURED BY FARMERS AT GRASS LAKE. Robert MeCormick and Monroe Auckcrman, His Pal, Did Not Succeed In Getting Vary Far Away From Jackson — Farmer* Will Claim Reward. The Ccep Report. The monthly crop report for the state was given out at the secretary of state's office this morning, and in answer to the question, "Has wheat during February suffered injury from any cause?" 134 correspondents of the c i t h e r n counties answered "Yes" and 208 "No"; central counties, 11 "Yes," 146 "No"; northern counties, two "Yea," 14 "No"; upper peninsula, 22 answered "No"; in the state 147 "Yes" and 517 "No." Several correspondents of the southern four tiers of counties believe that wheat has been severely damaged by ice. Snow has been a great factor during the winter in the protection of wheat. The total number of bushels of wheat marketed by farmers in February at 140 flouring mills was 198.671, and at 127 elevators and to grain dealers 172,279, or a total of 870,950 bushels. Of this amount 296,926 bushels were marketed in the southern four tiers of counties, 62,338 in the central counties and 11.686 in the northern counties and in the upper peninsula. The amount of wheat yet remaining in the possession of growers is estimated at 4,000,000 bushels. Eightyseven mills, elevators and grain dealers report no wheat received in February. The average condition of live stock In the state is reported as follows: Comparison being made is in good, healthy and thrifty condition. Horses and sheep, 95; cattle, 94; swine, 96. MeCormick and Pal -Are Caught. Robert MeCormick, the Detroit murderer, and Monroe Auckerman, his pal, who escaped from Jackson prison early Monday morning, were captured at Grass Lake by two farmers, Horace Winfleld and Albert Wiedman. The men offered little resistance to capture and were taken back to Jackson at once. They have not been more than ten miles from the prison at any time since their escape and walked to Grass Lake from Jackson. They lay in hiding awaiting an opportunity to get farther away. The two convicts were caught in a box car which was lying idle in a gravel pit between Grass Lake and Leona. Winfleld and Wiedman ran across them accidentally and will claim the $100 reward offered. The farmers took the men to Jackson themselves, without the assistance of officers. Local Acts Piled High in Lansing. Gov. Warner's secretaries are busy answering questions as to what has become of several local special village charters and ordinances. The fact Is, the attorney-general's desks are piled high with these documents from various parts of the state and the matters are being taken care of as rapidly as possible. A number of county boards that have passed special local acts, and are wondering why the governor has not signed them, are probably not aware of the fact that in a great many cases telegrams and petitions have been pouring into the office of the governor asking him to veto them. Dr. Frltch Sentenced. Dr. George A. Frltch, of Detroit, convicted slayer of Maybelle Millman, must pay the extreme penalty under the law for manslaughter. After denying the motion of his counsel for a stay of sentence, pending the filing of a bill of exceptions to the supreme court. Judge Phelan itfP posed on the physician a sentence of from 7¼ to 15 years in the state prison at Jackson, with the recommendation that he serve the maximum. New Y. M. C. A. for Flint. Definite arrangements have been made for the organization of a Y. M. C. A. in Flint. Flint has the greatest proportionate masculine population of any city in the state. At a meeting of business men a board of directors was chosen and a general secretary elected. The board of directors wishes to raise $100,000 for a building. William Carleton Spokes, a sophomore in the engineering department of the IT. of M-, was struck and killed by the eastbound Michigan Central mail train, a mile west of Ann Arbor. The Soo bridge across Pike river, three miles south of Dunbar, went down Thursday with a heavy freight train of 20 cars. The train broke in two, and 12 cars went into the stream. The accident is one of the worst in the history of the road and traffic Is demoralized. No one was Injured. STATE BRIEFS. The body of an unknown man who perished In the snow was found on the road from Chase to Luther.. The authorities are investigating. Chester E.~ Jackson, of Ovid, was named by Gov. Warner as county agent of the state board of corrections and charities, for the county of Clinton. He is an ex-member of the state legislature. Members of the Michigan Slate Poultry Breeders' association, which was organized last January, have decided to hold their first show in Detroit. Roeert S. Taylor, of Port Huron, will be president. Separated at childhood by the death of their parents, and adopted by families in Indiana and Ohio, Mrs. W. A. Covey, of Cadillac, and Mrs. Anna Gibson, her Bister, at Lowell, will meet for the first time in 41 years. Ernest Howe, of Homer, met instant death when attempting to jump from a local freight train ou the Lansing and Hillsdale branch of the Lake Shore. His head was crushed., and both hands and one leg were cut off. Major N. S. Boynton. of Port Huron, known as "The Father of the Maccabees," who "has been confined to his bed for several months, is able to be around again. For a time it was feared that his illness would result fatally. Fr. Thomas Reed, pastor of Holy Name church of Grand Rapids, was badly beaten and robbed of his overcoat and some money by a thug, near the church Thursday night. His life was spared by the failure of the highwayman's gun to explode. According to statistics from the secretary of state, 11,270 persons have died from pulmonary tuberculosis in the past five years. The statistics show that Michigan is not the leading state in the number of deaths, there being 25 others leading. Fifteen-year-old Boyd Hart, of Grand Rapids, dashed into the street in front of a team of runaway draft horses and attempted to stop the horses to prevent them striking a crippled man who was crossing the street in front of them. He was badly hurt and may die. So distasteful has the appearance of the streets leading up to the railroad passenger station in St. Johns become that the Ladies' Literary club has raised $280, $225 of which will be placed in the hands of the common council and the balance will be expended for flowers. To expand their plant and increase their business the Democrat Printing & Publishing Co., publishers of the Monroe Weekly Democrat, has purchased a strip of land, 60x95 feet. adjacent to their present location, and will erect a two-story brick structure. Twenty thousand dollars has recently been added to the company's capitalization. In the case of the common council of Jackson against the city recorder relative to the calling of the special election to revise the city charter has been brought before the supreme court. Claiming that because petitions from the people were necessary and that they were not forthcoming he would not act on the council's orders. Refusing to work with Italians, 100 molders employed by the Kalamazoo stove works walked out of the shop. The plant is almost completely tied up. There are no differences between the management and the employes other than that they refuse to work with foreigners. A meeting of the union was immediately called, and It. is thought that the strike will be short. Renewed interest In the matter of the adoption of a commission form of government in the city of Flint was created at the first annual banquet, of the board of commerce, held Wednesday night. Interest centered on three subjects. Good roads, pure water ideas and a change in the present system of governmenT. The latter question hag* been uppermost in the minds of Flint residents for the past several weeks. Reciting that the northern district needs the two counties to warrant the calling of the grand jury at each term of court at Bay City, and that they should be left In the northern district to equalize it with the southern, and also that Bay City is just as accessible to the counties as Is Detroit, the Saginaw Bar association Vsir"grm& on record against the detaching of Shiawassee and Genesee counties from the northern federal Judicial district. At the meeting of the Kalamazoo common council a unanimour, vote was registered against, the request of the Kalamazoo Gas Co. for an extension of 30 years to the present franchise. Members of the Civic league were present, but they were not given a chance to speak on account of the hasty adjournment taken when the mayor and councilmen hurried out of a side door. Citizens declare that the company is charging a rate which is In excess of the insufficient service. Approximately one-third of the people of the upper peninsula are Roman Catholics. The district constitutes the diocese of Marquette and Sault Ste, Marie, of which the Rt. Rev. Frederick Eis, of this city, is bishop. The population of the peninsula is 300,000, in round numbers, and of the people 95,000 are members of the Roman church. The diocese ig one of the very largest In the northwestern region. There are-85 clergymen and 104* churches, of which 37 are missions. Twenty-four parishes have schools, in which 6,700 children are enrolled.

It Will Soon B» Over Unless Unions Get Stronger Support Than It Now Evident; Man Returning Daily. « There are certain indications at Philadelphia that the general strike will disappear unless the labor unions are able within a few days, to drag to their support Influences that have remained aloof. Men who left their jobs in the first hysteria are gradually going back. The number of men on strike is less by thousands than it was a few days ago. Summing up the situation as it appears, the unions have been thrown back upon their own resources, and these resources have been weakening. The city officials, who have been canvassing among employers, announced Saturday that the employes of 65 mills out of 69 would return to work Monday and Tuesday. In many of these mills, it is said, men have already returned. The transit company reports that carmen have apnlied for reinstatement, and that more than 30Q have been put at work. Nearly 200* union foundryraen in the northeastern part of the city, employes of four foundries, have voted to go to Work Monday. Several unions of carpenters have signified their intention of breaking strike. The taxicab drivers are all back on the job. Despite the daily statistics uttered by the committee, there is no doubt that the general strike is steadily disintegrating. Washington Will Not Interfere. Advices from Washington hold to the opinion that there is nothing to be done by the government at this time to settle the Philadelphia traction strike. The trouble as federal officials review it is local in character. PATTEN'S "RECEPTION." The Chicago Speculator is Chased in Manchester, Eng. .lames A. Patten, the Chicago speculator, who went to England, as he said, "to look around." had occasion to look sharply from the moment that he appeared on the floor of the cotton exchange at Manchester. His appearance was the signal for a hostile demonstration which resulted in his forcible ejection from the exchange and a flight through the streets from a mob that was prevented only by the police from doing him serious harm. Patten was hidden for a while in a business office and later smuggled Into a cab and driven to a more secluded refuge. Patten's coming to Manchester had been widely heralded since his arri^ val in Liverpool and the reception was ready for him. Seven Men Killed in Mine. Seven miners lost their lives In the No. 5 shaft of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre Coal Co. near Wilkesbarre, Pa., in an explosion of gas. There were eight men in the party. One had left the gang to bring some tools and was not injured. All the dead were suffocated. When the bodies were brought up there were many pathetic scenes around the mouth of the shaft "where the relatives and friends of the victims had gathered. General Manager Hubcr said that the explosion did not cause much damage. Several of the rescuers had narrow escapes from the fire damp. $15,000 Fine, Six Years; In Oleo Fraud. Summary action was taken by Judge K. M. Landis in the United States district, court in Chicago In sentencing violators of the federal laws regulating the manufacture and sale of oleomargarine. The court, fixed the punishment of Samuel Drlesbach, who pleaded guilty, to a fine of $15,000 and six years' Imprisonment. To Daniel Bort.z, who also pleaded guilty, the court meted out an eighteen months' term in the house of correction in this city. William Broadwell, who was sentenced some days ago, must meet like punishment with Drlesbach. Charles P.

Old King Coffee knocks subjects out tolerably flat at times, and there is no possible doubt of what did It. A Mich, woman gives her experience: "I used to have liver trouble nearly all of the time and took medicine which relieved me only for a little while. Then every once in a while I would be suddenly doubled up with an awful agony in my stomach. It seemed as though every time I took a breath I would die. No one could suffer any more and live. "Finally I got down so sick with catarrh of the stomach that I could not turn over in bed, and my stomach did not digest even milk. The doctor finally told me that if I did not give up drinking coffee I would-surely die, but I felt I could not give it up. "However, Husband brought home a package of Postum and it was made strictly according to directions. It was the only thing that would stay on my stomach, and I soon got so I liked it very much.

Now I am in perfect condition, and I am convinced that the whole cause of my trouble was coffee drinking, and my getting better was due to leaving off coffee and drinking Postum.

C. McClunr * Co.. INI SYNOPSIS. The story opens with the introduction Of John Stephens, adventurer, a Massachusetts man marooned by authorities at Valparaiso, Chile. Heing Interested In mining operations in Bolivia, lie was denounced Dy Chile as an Insurrectionist and ua a consequence was hiding. At his hotel his attention was attracted by a a Englishman and a young woman. Stephens rescued the young woman from a drunken officer. He was thanked by her. Admiral of the Peruvian navy confronted Stephens, told ldni that war had been declared between Chile and Peru and offered him the office of captain. He desired that that night the Esmeralda, a Chilean , vessel. should be captured. Stephens accepted the commission. Stephens met a motley crew, to which he was assigned. He gave them final instructions. They boarded the veHsel. They successfully captured the vessel supposed to be the Esmeralda, through strategy. Capt. Stephens gave directions for the de- J>arture of the craft. He entered the cabn and discovered the English woman and her muid. Stephens quickly learned the wrong vessel had been captured. It was Lord Darlington's private yacht, the lord's wife and maid being aboard. H e explained the situation to rier ladvshlp. Then First" Mate Tattle laid bare the plot, saying that the Sea Queen had been taken in order to go to the Antarctic circle. Tuttle explained that on a former voyage he had learned that the Donna Isabel was lost in 1753. He had found It frozen in a huge case of ice on an island and contained much gold. Stephens consented to be the captain of the expedition. He told Lady Darlington. She was greatly alarmed, hut expressed confidence in him. The Sea Queen encountered a vessel In the Cog. Stephens attempted to communicate. CHAPTER XII.—Continued. ' H. M. 8. Victory, on cruise. Stand by, while we aend ft bout." A depp path a p n u t r t o Tuttle'a !tpg, | nis Angers convulsively gripping the rail. Then he appeared to rally, the very Intensity of hla fear making a \ new man out of him. : "Lively, lads, clear the deck," he commanded, harshly. "Here, one of you take the wheel. Now, De Nova, bundle that lighting fool down into the charthouse, and stand over him with a gun. Two of you fellows carry the boatswain into the fo'castle; lively, now." They were certainly expeditious enough in my case, dragging me bumping down the steps, and flinging me in between table and bench with a violence that made me groan. I caught the glimmer of a steel barrel in De Nova'a hand aa he drew close the sliding door. "It was not nice sing to do, Mons. Stephens," be said, not ill-naturedly, "but, by gar, out ze farslty row it was going to be done, for I shoot ze pistol very good." "That's all right, De Nova," I replied, realizing my complete defeat and holding no personal grudge against him. "I don't blame you. I've made my play, and have had"" enough. May I sit up?" He nodded carelessly, dropping the revolver back into his jacket pocket, ypt with hla black eyes fastened shrewdly on my face. " 'Tis ze bes' way to talk, monsieur," pausing to listen to the mingled "Lay your hands on me agatn," 1 threatened, sternly, "and I'll door you to the deck. I'll lake1 that grin off your face, De Nova, if you attempt any interference with me now.'' He understood quickly enough what I meant, and evidently had no relish for attacking me alone, for with one swift, searching glance into the fog, he leaped down the steps and ran hastily aft. I knew ho was seeking the backing of Tuttle, and armed myself with a belaying pin, peering eagerly meanwhile for the near-by sail, and cursing the fellow at the wheel for not holding her up to the point directed. They came up together, two Btepa at a time, Tuttle in his shirt sleeves, and, as they attained the bridge, Rill Anderson swung himself out of the hatch and started after them. I backed away, the ugly iron pin grasped in my hand, "You'd better keep back," I warned, threateningly. "I'm ready to brain the first man who attempts to touch me." Tuttle stopped, his jaw working savagely, his eyes on mine. "Will you promise to keep quiet, sir, an' let us get away out. o' this?" "Damn you, no!" stubbornly, all my senses leaving me at sight, of his hateful face. "I'll speak that ship yonder if I have to fight the crew of you single-handed." "Then fight, you cockerel, an' be damned to you!" roared Anderson; and he pressed past, the two of them and sprang at me. ~"~ It was hot, swift, work, while it lasted. I struck twice, laying open the big brute's scalp, and dropping him so his head hung dangling down over the deck, his body huddled against the rail. I aimed to do a i well by Tuttie, but the descending pin landed on his uplifted arm, and, before I could draw back for another blow, the fellow at the wheel released the spokes and jumped at my back, throttling me with his hands as the weight of his body crushed me to the planks. Grasping the rail I half tore myself loose, rising to one knee, and struck him twice madly in the face; but others of the crew came tumbling on top of us, pinning me helplessly down. It was all the work of a breathless moment, and as I lay there, the knee of a negro crunching Into my chest, I saw De Nova spring to the wheel and whirl it hard down, while Tuttle, his left arm dangling, his teeth set fro,,. pain, began jangling the bells In the engine-room. Scarcely had the echo reached us when a strange voice hailed Bharply from out the dense fog; "Steamer, ahoy! What vessel is t h a t ? " Tuttle's nasal voice answered: 'Steam yacht Cormorant, Panama to Easter island, for pleasure. Who «i*e you?" The Descending Pin Landed on His Uplifted Arm. sounds without. "Sacre, I wonder w'at ze devil was up now!" We both sat. breathing hard from our late exertions, listening anxiously, yet with vastly differing emotions, hope animating me that this was to prove a capture, or, at least, that some chance discovery by the officer visiting us would result in the release of the women below. Hut De Nova was in an agony of apprehension, the full peril of his position clear before him. We heard the bare feet of the hurrying sailor* patter along the deck, the strident, voice of Tuttle issuing a few final commands, and the faint sound of oars In the water alongside. The officer came slowly up the ladder, and my heart sank as I heard him laugh carelessly to the mate's greeting. 1 could distinguish the sound of his voice, but not the words uttered, and in some way it impressed me with the thqught. that the fellow was young, a midshipman, j -sibly, who would prove mere puny under Tuttle's expert handling. The two went down ihe companion-steps together in app a r e n t l y amiable conversation, and we could heard the low murmur of voices as the crew hung over the rail jesting with the men-o'-war's men in the boat, below. My eyes met De Nova's in the semi-darkness, and he grinned, showing his teeth. "Nossing ver' dangerous, monsieur," he said, easily. "Ze ol' fox he fool zat kid." I attempted no response, my mind already sufficiently heavy from apprehension. Oh, for just a word, merely an opportunity to cry out our story before it was forever too late! Tie Nova must have felt the struggle within me, for he stretched his logs across the narrow passage leading to the door, and I saw his hand thrust into his coat pocket. Underneath his genial veneer he was one to act upon occasion, absolutely careless of the result. So I waited in sitance, my teeth set hard, my hands clenched, as the last vestige of hope oozed slowly out of me. They were scarcely ten minutes below, coming up chatting in rare good fellowship, the officer clinging to the rail, bis feet on the ladder, while he completed some story he had been relating with much-ffw»to. Then wc i.'i! plainly the dip of oars, growing ...dirilly fainter in the distance, feet pattered on the deck planks, Tuttle's voice sounded from the bridge, and the vessel began throbbing to the steady chug of the screws. We were safely under way again, pressing our sharp bow into the fog-bank. UnabJo to control my weakness, I buried my face In my hands. 1 do not know Iron* long we sat there motionless, De Nova staving blankly ( Bt tbe rapbr sweeping past t h t window, and I with head lowered in depression. It was Tuttle himself, with one arm in an Improvised sling, who slid open the deOr of the-charthouse and looked in upon us. "This is your watch yet, De Nova/* he said, shortly, "and I need to doctor up my arm a bit. You're a dam' hard hitter, Mr. Stephens," no trace of anger in his voice, "but that's about the last chance you'll have to kick up a shindy on this vessel. You'll go below, sir, an' stay there, unless we happen to need you." . I stepped forth onto the open deck in obedience to his gesture. "Then I am no longer even in pretended command, but merely your prisoner." "Call it whatever suits you best," he returned, grimly. "The result will be the same In any case. Well, De Nova, what are you waitln' for?" "I sink maybe you say w'at was it ze navy man wanted?" Tuttle's solemn countenance broke into the semblance of a grin. "Plug tobacco," he announced, sucking his lips with sudden enjoyment of the joke. "Gave me the scare of my life, but that's all it amounted to. Been out crulsln* for three months, an' the crew ready to mutiny for smokin' and chewin'. Nice, sociable little chap they sent over, too." CHAPTER X I I I . In Which We Sail Due South. As I sank down into the recesses of a cushioned chair in the cabin, my spirits at lowest ebb, 1 glanced up at the telltale compass—we were already [ headed due south. Those days and nights following, while serving to bear us continually deeper into the immense expanse of water that concealed the mystery awaiting us In the great South sea, contained little of incident directly relating to this narrative. Day following day that same wide circle of the sky came down to unite with the circle of the waters. It was almost as though we remained motionless, "a painted ship upon a painted ocean"; only the figures on the paper, the pins on the chart, the sharp stem cleaving the waves asunder, and the oily wake astern leaving us aware of steady progression through this trackless desert of the sea. We passed somewhat to the westward of Juan Fernandez, so far out that only with a glass from the foretop could t,he distant peaks be dimly deciphered in blue, misty blots against the sky. Already Tuttle had banked the fires, and spread the Sea Queen's canvas, reaching to the westward to get the most possible out of the fresh breeze. The Sea Queen changed motive power and appearance as if by magic, the square yardj hiding the jauntiness of her keel, and concealing the rake of her masts, the white sails bellowing out before tho wind, sending her swooping forward through the water like a great bird, leaning over until at times her lee rail was all awash with white foam and her forward decks glistening with spume. Tuttle drove her recklessly, holding on in spite of crackling wood and sails threatening to tear loose from the bolt-eyes, taking shrewd advantage of each slant of wind, and lowering canvas only when danger was deadly. He bad come into his own, he was at home, and the rejuvenated Sea Queen leaped forward at his will, as though endowed with fresh life. He seemed to understand her moods, her caprices as though he had sailed her in every soa, and I watched him test her. loosening a rope here, tightening another there, striving to discover her good and bad qualities, until my admiration for his seamanship almost overbalanced my growing detestation of him otherwise. Lady Darlington became positively afraid of him, dreading his approach, shrinking from his address, yet not daring to withdraw wholly from his presence. His sole topic of conversation was psychomancy, and every time she endeavored to lead him to some mora pleasant subject k a* would return with dogmatic persistence to t h a t one rather dismal theme. His blatant self-conceit saved .him from realizing her utter wearmess, and . h e -never * seemed to tire of h h r o w n unctuous, nasal tones. Heavens, bnt the fellow was an insufferable bore. Celeste would slip away unobserved, but her mistress and myself had no means of escape. I remained quietly below for three days, and even then was not released by any formal word of mouth. 1 simply became so tired of the senseless imprisonment that I mounted to the deck, taking Lady Darlington with me, determined to be confined to the cabin no longer except by physical force. De Nova was upon the bridge when we emerged from the companion, but he merely glanced a t us curiously. Tuttle, coming aft a little later, retained sense enough to remain silent. The three days passed below had thrown me much into the society of both mistress and maid, although the frank intimacy of that first conversation with Lady Darlington was never resumed. There seemed an intangible barrier of reserve between us, although we talked freely enough regarding our situation, the peculiarities of Tuttle, and the constantly changing wonders of the deep. It was as if neither of us quite dared to probe beneath the surface, opening up once more the depths each endeavored to conceal; rather were we content to drift as the tide-ran. I saw comparatively little of De Nova, the second officer, during this period, and gained an Impression that he was endeavoring to avoid meeting me. Yet I ran across him twice in company with Celeste, once in the cabin, and again in the narrow deck space overhanging the stern, and began to hope vaguely that the girl was winning him over to our interests. With the others 1 sought to approach I made no progress. McKnight seldom showed his nose above deck, and then only to smoke in sullen silence, seated gloomily on the edge of the main hatch or to the lee of the charthouse. Olsen was undoubtedly honeBt enough, yet without intelligence, his eyes those of a faithful dog. The Chilean, a smooth-faced young fellow wonderfully deficient in chin, I learned had been assigned as assistant to the cook, and was thus kept too busy inside the galley even to be approached. Indeed, so far I had not seen his face on board the ship. CHAPTER XIV. In Which De Nova Speaks. What now occurred came upon us with such suddenness that I find it difficult to relate tbe incidents in detail. We must have been below the fiftieth degree of south latitude, and about 135 degrees west, with the wind strong and occasionally puffin* up into squalls, bearing flakes of snow which stung exposed flesh and left a thin mantle of white along the decks. It was Tuttle's watch below, and as I paused In the protection of the companion way looking forward, while I got my pipe going, I could see De Nova on the bridge, wrapped up like a mummy, and crouching well down behind the tarpaulins. AH about was a wild sea scene, never to be looked upon amid any other stretch of waters on the globe—a dull, dead picture of utter desolation, of madly racing waves, of green, sullen sea, of pale blue sky, the very frost In the air apparent; a cold, drear expanse of monotonous distance wherever the eye looked—a desert of water below, a void of air above. Big Bill Anderson, his head still bound up where I had cracked him, slouched in the doorway of the charthouse. staring aft, and a moment later De Nova came lumbering down the steps from the bridge and spoke with him for some earnestly. The boatswain finally went forward, clinging to a lifeline to keep footing on the slippery deck, and the second officer clawed aloug the weather- rail until he reached the companion. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Almost Deserved to Escape Truant's Quick Grasp of Opportunity Compels Admiration. The absent-minded professor returned home one night to learn that his son had played truant from school, and he was asked by his wife to hunt up the missing youngster and administer a sound thrashing. "Why, I'll flay him alive!" exclaimed the angry father. "I'll break every bone in his body! Just wait until I get him out in the woodshed!" He came across his heir playine [ marbles about a mile from borne, but the boy didn't seem to be a hit alarmed by the old man'* threats. As they started to return home the absentminded professor stopped to^chat with an old acquaintance, and it was fift*i»n or twenty minutes later when he his side and asked: "Why, where did you come from. J a c k ? " "Don't you remember, father?" smiled the boy, we are on our way to buy me a box of candy, because of my excellent achool report." "Bless me. but so we are," agreed tho absent-minded professor, as he patted the boy on the back and started for the store. Concrete Aiso Is New-Old. Concrete Itself is. of course, very old.

Plan to Have One -Sermon on Sunday, April 24, Devoted to Scourge of Tuberculosis. Following campaigns against consumption that have been carried on in the churches of hundreds of cities, and sermons on tuberculosis that have been preached before thousands of con gregationg during the past year, a movement has been started by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis to establish a permanent tuberculosis Sunday, on which it fs hoped that every one of the 33,000,000 church-goers in the United States will hear the gospel of health. This year the Sunday selected is April 24. It is planned t h a t un April 24 tuberculosis sernpKll ftlMU h» preached in all the •liwufcw flf'tytt country. Literature will fee to members of the congre in every way an effort will be teach that tuberculosis is a dangetqMMI disease and that it can be prevented and cured. Clergymen who desire to obtain additional information in regard to tuberculosis will be able to secure literature from state and local anti-tuberculosis associations and boards of health, as well as* from the national association. THE PROPER PINE TO USE FOR COUGHS AND COLD Many pine extracts contain resins causing nausea and cramps. For most reliable and quickest results In curing a severe cough or cold follow this formula: "Get two ounces of Glycerine and half an ounce of Concentrated Pine compound. Then get half a pint of good whiskey and put the other two ingredients into it. Take a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful of this mixture after each meal and at bed time." But be sure to get the genuine Concentrated Pine. Each half ounce bottle conies In a tin screw-top case. Any druggist has it on hand or will quickly get it from his wholesale house. A New Version.

Theodore Hooaevelt arrived at this place on Monday, and was received officially by Gen. Sir Reginald W i n g a t t v governor general o f ** e Sudan, on behalf of both the Egyptian and English governments. The ex-president was met here by Mrs. Roosevelt and Miss JJthel and by a t e s t of American and European correspondents and numerous delegations of political and other friends from the United States. In fact this historic town is literally filled with visitors brought here to greet the returning traveler. With hrs arrival a t this place, Col. Roosevelt completed one of the most notable journeys through the wilderness of Africa that has been undertaken since the days of Livingstone and Stanley. It was a remarkable journey both in number of animals slain and preserved as specimens, and bec& nse of Its lack of accidents and sickness of every kind. Ordinarily a traveler, through the regions through which Col. Roosevelt has passed, comes out of the jungues loaded with malaria and fever germs. Up to the present time, neither Col. Roosevelt nor any of his party have shown any symptoms of having contracted any of the numerous contagious diseases. Gen.

Representatives of the many tribes df the desert have been gathered here into one great encampment, and for Col. Roosevelt's entertainment, have indulged in every possible form of native amusement, giving dances, races, etc. The town of Khartum Is a mass of color. Flags of Egypt, England and America are everywhere, and the ox president has probably appreciated nothing more than the opportunity of visiting this historical spot. Khartum is virtually built around the grave of "Chinese" Gordon. The city itself is a gigantic monument to that soldier's deeds and his heroic death. In the center of it stands his effigy in bronze, mounted on a camel, gazing with fixed eyes out toward the deflert. which -mocked him during the terrible year that he lay there waiting' for relief. Behind the Rtatne stands the British governor's palace, nn imposing structure in the Gothic style, typical of British power and British permanence. Name Gordon Everywhere. Not far away is the Gordon Memorial college, a school built with funds raised by Gen. Kitchener by subscription throughout Great Britain, in which the Sudanese newer generation is trained for service in that government which conquered its fathers. Everywhere throughout the city the name Gordon appears. There is the Gordon hotel, the Gordon drive and up the White Nile the Gordon tree. Gordon's memory will live so long HS Khartum exists. The British h a w transformed the city of his death Into a memorial to his glory that can laut'h at time.

Tho One Way by Which Handsome. . Plw Can Be Kept In Plrtt* Ciasa Condition. The care of silver plate, and the keeping of those pieces which are In daily use looking like new, and removing every trace of dullness for some time to come, la a science, This oonaidts of the somewhat drastic measure of putting the various articles into a large tin wash boiler, after giving them a thorough polish with hartshorn and whiting, and then covering them with water, Into which a handful of washing soda has been thrown. Allow the water to boil for two or three hours, and then remove the silverware, giving it a good rub with a soft-chamois leather, which produces an exceptionally handsome and lasting pollBh. In the case of handsome hand-made pieces of plate, with repousse or embossed designs in high relief, this is actually the only way of getting the deposits of cleaning powders out or the crevices, and for several weeks afterward rubbing is all that the articles require to bring them up to the proper brilliancy. Once a month or once in six weeks is the time limit lor these silver boilings, for otherwise maids are apt to grow dependent upon its efficiency and consequently to neglect the weekly cleaning. , Salt fish can be quickly freshened by soaking it in sour milk. Japanese lacquer trays can be cleaned by washing with cold water and a soft sponge. While still damp dust with flour, rub dry with a flannel and polish with chamois. The secret of keeping chamois skin soft and supple is to hang it up to dry while still soapy. Remember this when washing chamois gloves. Not everyone knows that If the edges of graniteware are brushed inside and out with shellac, and melted spider immediately applied, it will mend as easily as tinware. An excellent cleaner for common woodwork, mirrors, windows, fingermarks and grease spots Is made by dissolving four tablespoonfuls of Boft soap in a bucket of hot water. Add a tablespoonful of paraffin while the mixture is boiling. If added later there will be a disagreeable odor. Racooked Fish. Cut one onion into a saucepan, add half a pint of water, a little mace and parsley. Boil thoroughly, add one pint of milk or cream, one desBert- Bpoonful of butter, one tablespoonful of flour and strain all through a sieve. Take some halibut or other fish, remove the skin and bones, flake it, butter a dish, and put first a layer of fish, then some of the dressing, and so on, alternately,^*untll the dish Is full. Cover the top with breadcrumbs, and bake from 30 to 40 minutes. Sopa de Arras. One cupful of dry rice, fried in two tablespoonfuls of boiling lard for 20 minutes, stirring and mashing with spoon. Add a small onion sliced quite fine and two or three toasted tomatoes which have had the skins removed. Cook well for 20 minutes more and then add two cupfuls of broth. Allow these ingredients to simmer until quite soft and season to taste. Although thick, it is eaten with a spoon. Whitening Clothes. Take equal parts of kerosene and turpentine and shak» well together. One tablespoonful of this mixture added to the soapsuds in which clothes are boiled will be found to have a most cleaning effect. A spoonful of kerosene In boiled starch keeps it from sticking, but do not use enough to make it smell. Scotch Oat Cake. To make oat cake put four cupfuls fine oatmeal in a pan and mix to a stiff dough with one tablespoonful of lard melted in enough warm water to make consistency required. Roll out thin and bake. Some Scotch housewives put a pinch of baking soda into the meal, but no salt should be used, as it makes them too hard. Testing Nutmeg. To test nutmeg prick them with a pin, and if they are good the otl will instantly spread around the puncture. Broom Holder. Take two large empty spools, two nails about an inch longer than the Rpools, but nail through the spools and drive the nails, leaving enough Rpace between spools for the broom to hand in. 8tove Cement. If the stove is cracked a good cement Is made by taking wood ashes and salt in equal proportions, reduced to a paste with cold water, and fill in cracks when stove is cold. it will *oon harden. m PHYSICIAN APPROVES Taking Lydia E Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Sabattus, Maine.—"You told me t o take Lydia E.

Childish Confidences That Should Never Be Repelled, But Always Encouraged. A boy's heart is full and overflowing. He needs tsuuie one who will listen to bia confidences. If he is repelled and finds himself alone, he becomes fretful, indolent or worse. His affairs are not "nonsense." A good mother never says: "Run away; 1 am busy." She listens, encourages. Important discoveries may be made in these outpourings. She givea sympathy, enters iuto his feelings, sees things from his point of view. If he tells her of something which proves that he is at fault, she does not reprimand at the time, because this will check further confidences. She gives her attention quietly, tells him she is glad he has confided in her, and that she will talk of it again to him. If a mother has insight she can solve many problems. She Is interested in her boy's Bports, collections, his school aud companions. The choice of his companions should not be left to chance. It is well if they are from families known to his parents. TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE "Our baby when two months old was suffering with terrible eczema from heftd to foot, all over her body. The baby looked just like a sfchmed rabbit. We were unable to put clothes on her. At first it seemed to be a few mattered pimples. They would break the skin and peel off leaving the underneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then a few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It was awful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child. We tried several doctors' remedies but all failed. "Then we decided to try Cuticura. By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the scab and it came off. Under this, where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new skin soon appeared. We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent three times daily. After three days you could see the baby gaining a little skin which would peel oft* and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She is a fine picture of a fat little baby and all is well. We only used one cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Re- Bolvent. If people would know what Cuticura Is there would be few suffering with eczema.

In order to show that spitting on the sidewalks is dangerous to health,an investigation has been made by Dr. John Robertson, medical health officer of Birmingham, England, which shows that s e v e n per cent, of the "spits" collected in public places contained consumption germs. On the other hand the dust collected from the floors of the cottages of the Adirondack Cottage sanitarium has been found to be free of tuberculosis germs, showing that a careful consumptive is not dangerous. ss.

We know positively that comets attain their immense extension In space on account of the material comprising them being excessively tenuous, thinner than the lightest filmy haze of summer, says Professor Harold .lacoby. for we know the comets are not massive; they are almost entirely without weight. Anrl (his we know with certainty, because their arrival produces no perturbations of motion among the planets of the solar system, while the inexorable laws of mechanical science tell us that a massive comet must surely disturb the usual orderly planetary orbits. A comet might. Indeed, strike the earth, though such a collision is most Improbable. But even if it should ever occur the visible effects would probably be no greater than those produced occasionally by meteorites, or "falling stars." The other possible danger from the comet, the chance of suffocation from gases in the rail, Is also negatived by actual observation, for it is almost certain that our earth did once pass through a comet's tail, and no one noticed It at the time. Only the subse quent calculations of astronomers brought out the fact that the cometary orbit and that of the earth really hail a common point of Intersection and that l>oth bodies occupied that point at the same time.—New York American. College Sentiment. Dr. Rlank. about twenty years a professor In a certain college, was on the eve of a trip to Kurope, to be absent two years.

Would that there was a window In my breast, my dear boys, that yon might see the innermost recesses of my heart."
