The expected sequel la the total disappearance of the big farms. Indeed, for that matter, the "bonanza, farms" that excited the wonder of the world a decade or two ago have been gradually disappearing in later years and probably the next generation will find scarcely one of them left unless it be in the most Isolated sections of the country. Now, of course, TJncle Sam's vast domain can support double or triple lour present population without any leuggestion of that crowding which is jnotlceable in Europe, where some of khe countries hate a population that •averages 500 or 600 to the square telle. At the same time the new turn to? affairs will tend to bring into favor (here the small farms that have long [been the standard agricultural holdling abroad. Probably we shall not (have many farms as small as the majority of those In Europe nor will the Ismail farm be as universal in the JNew World In our time as it is across Jthe big pond, but withal It Is manifest that the era of the small farm is cmjaire crjs/fioifjmwMQEJMl^- '..y-*>.'Vv; •'Si***'**" titer' fc!» * * > •- . 4\x.t;„ ,* <•• ..,.-i r«^i;^v,>.. -j&ujijre Mfioifj o/rA cAuicmmwtcn dawning. Qlven a j m a j l oj; moderate _ s l z e - tt&mTVwo'general plans of deriving a livelihood I therefrom present themselves to the Ameeican I farmer. He may specialize, as so many or his j brothers of the soil are doing—that is, concentrate all his energy and Investment on the production of one product, in handling which be aims to become an expert, or, if he he hesitates to thus put "all his eggg in one basket," he may carry on diversified activities. Which of these plans Is best cannot be determined by any rule of thumb. Each individual case must be a law unto itself. Much depends upon the size and location ofthe , farm; its proximity to markets; the size of the ] farmer's family; thVlabor problem in the locality; and finally on the temperament of the.farmer j himself. Even given "two farms of equal size, I side by side, the owner of one might be qualified i lor specialization where his neighbor would at- ! tain better results by favoring that variety which to many people Is the spice of life. Probably, says an agricultural expert, in the case of the average, well-located small farm the , ideal policy, theoretically, is that which prescribes I Hpecialization, but also plans for one or more "Bide lines," which will contribute-to the farm income almost from the start and may ultimately : develop into an Important factor from a financial : standpoint. This means, In effect, that the f a r o | er should concentrate largely, upon one product or group of products, which can derive the bene* 1 fits that almost always accrue from undivided attention, but that h* or members of bis household should have minor or supplementary sources of income, such as bee keeping, poultry raising, e t c , which, while well worth while, would not represent sufficient investment or present serious enough problems to distract the mind of the farmer from the main business in hand. With this latter consideration in view, it is especially fortunate when the "side lines'* on the farm are such that the whole responsibility for them can be taken over by the women and children .of the household without bothering the farmer with the matter at all during his busy season. O m j a e s a "side line" becomes a double blessing, because ,it discloses a means of making use of watte products on the farm. It is being discovered that the one neglected "by-products" of ; our farms hold proportionately as much wealth as -the-1'by-products"- that have -freen~utfflzeir~8b "mT raculously in the manufacturing world. As Illustrations of the application of this principle on the farm there may be cited the case of the farmer folk who now make lavish "pin money" by preparing preserves and jelly with the surplus fruit and vegetables that would otherwise be wasted, and of the country housewives who in their leisure moments make cushions and all manner of saleable novelties (not forgetting fancy hats from the corn stalks) that are worse than useless. Similarly, one rural resident is growing rich from raising water lilies on her little farm, and in the south and southwest some ingenious people have taken up "ostrich farming" and are selling the plumes from the birds at prices that make the> enterprise well worth while. Poultry raising is a side line that comes to mind the minute mention is made of any such activities. There have been thousands of instances where chickens, allowed to run wild on the farm, have ultimately been the means of swelling Jbe family bank account, and to pursue the subject still farther, it may be cited^ that, _ many a—farmer—or -•-farmerVLwIfewhobegan to "keep chickens" solely with a view to marketing the poultry has been surprised in due course to find that the eggs, to which scarce a thought had been given as a source of revenue, have rivaled the dressed fowl In the Income yield. Particularly has this been the case In recent years when eggs have brought as high as sixty cents a dozen in city markets. Eggs as a "by-product" would yield even bigger dividends if care were taken to gather them at least twice a day and to get them to market somewhat more promptly* for, be it known, "gauranteed 24 hour eggs" will always bring five or ten cents a dozen more than the ordinary nin of fresh eggs. *j Without disparaging the merits of poultry as a side line, however, it may be suggested that bee keeping is perhaps the most truly ideal Incidental occupation on the farm. Indeed, the experts strongly advise that bee keeping be not made a sole occupation, although there are many localities where an experienced bee keeper can make a good living by devoting his entire time and attention to the work, once he has the requisite knowledge. The beauty about bee keep-. lng is that'by beginning on a small scale the bees , can be made to pay for themselves and for all additional apparatus, as well as to return some profit all the* while. It may as well be admitted, however, that for all Its advantages there are few occupations that require more study to insure success than does bee keeping. In years when the available nectar is limited, surplus honey is secured only by judicious manipulation, and it is only through considerable experience that the bee keeper can, under such circumstances^ carry out the proper manipulation to save his crop. All authorities on the subject emphasize the fact that the only way to make bee keeping a profitable business Is to obtain naught but the flrstolass product—fancy comb honey or carefully prepared and neatly packed extracted honey. Under good management the average annual honey yield per colony will probably be 25 to 30 pounds of comb-honeyr or 40^ to 80 pounds of extracted honey. Such yields can be expected only, however, bees are kept In hives of up-towfth movable frames. Plain boxes When the date type, may be well enough to start with if the bee keeper Is not able to afford any investment for the superior apparatus, but all such make-shifts should be discarded at the earliest possible moment, for in such environment the bees will produce only a restricted amount of honey and that of inferior quality. The problems of American bee keepers have been considerably simplified of late years through the passage by various states of laws providing for the state or county inspection of apiaries for bee disease control. Another "side line" that has gained in favor in the rural districts almost as rapidly as bee keeping is found in the'raising of pigeons, doves, etc. The backbone of this industry Is found, of course, in the raising of squabs for the market that has developed of recent years in all our large cities, but there is also much money made in raising the fancy varieties of pigeons for disposal as pets. Indeed, the whole pet stock industry in all Its branches may be advantageously carried on as i^lde lines'* on farms. Shetland pony farms^have become a recog«isedMnstittrticar^n—vaTious parts of the country these past few years; rabbits and guinea pigs yield an Income to many a farmer boy, and there are dozens of farmers' wives who derive profit as well as pleasure from raising blooded cats, gold fish, canaries and other furred or feathered household companions. In woodland districts the makings of rustic furniture offers a profitable occupation for the men in the long winter days, and the women and children can employ their time to equal advantage in the production of pine pillows and those bark and grass novelties for which trere is always a good market at remunerative prices.

Jerome, Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow. A Greenland Duel. It is rather a pity for the gayety of nations that French men of letters cannot fight their duels as duels are fought in Greenland. In Greenland when one man has been insulted by another the adversaries each compose a satire in versa. This each man recites to his household until the ee/vants and the women know It by boert. Then a place of meeting is appointed. ,The two men, the insulted and.insultfcdr the offender and offended, stand face to face, and each recites bis poem. His'friends and servants form a chorus; Each man tries to raise the laugh against his adversary. Each man speaks in turn, whipping the. en-'1 emy with epigram and quip, and after two hours of t h e wordy battle the meeting gives the victory to him of the two adversaries who has amused the whole assembly most.

The newest ratine cloths are lightweight and thin also. The first of these cloths brought out last year were much heavier, and were found to be clumsy, and, therefore, were not a great success. This season's offerings are much thinner, and are, therefore, expected to please. Diagonal and boucle weaves are both being shown Jn ratine novelties.

An Ideal Flock Header. •» The mating season for sheep is not far distant and the best selections of flock headers can be made early in the season. At this time one can ehoose-from among the best of the ram lambs and yearlings or two-yearolds. Offerings of makes will go quickly as soon as the Bhow season opens up and by the time the sheep is actually needed the market will be pretty well culled over. Procure a yearling or older ram if possible. Ram lambs should not be used unless exceeding CO-OPERATIVE CREAMERIES By W. B. UVERANCE, Instructor in Dairying, Michigan Agricultural College The old saying that "In union there is strength" is nowhere more applicable than in a farming community. bility. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in the little country of Denmark, where the farmers unite in all matters and Becure advantages that the individual could not get. In out own country where farmers' organizations have been attempted, the results have been very satisfactory. At Lawton, Mich., the grape growers organized in a co-operative way to dispose of their product and were so successful that they have received far better prices than ever known before. Not only have good prices prevailed, but a greater stability and surety has been given to disposal of their fruit. The ideal creamery is the co-operative one. It is ideal because It returns all the profits from the manufaeture~ bf dairy products to the producer. The private creamery owner is receiving a good profit in the manufacture of the cream from farms. He gets his return* from the overrun that is made in the factory. This amounts to about one-fifth of the butter fat delivered and means about four or five cents for each pound of fat delivered. This, of course, does not mean a net profit, but after all expenses are deducted it means a good profitable return. Well operated co-operative creameries oftentimes pay their patrons two to three cents more per pound of fat than do the private creameries. This is because that profit that has been going into the pocket,of the Individual owner is now turned back to the farmer. \ A ^ better grade of butter can be manufactured at the co-operative creamery"than at the private plant. Creameries as ^ whole are making a much poorer gradeot^product than in former years, not becauseVthe maker is less proficient but because^of the poor quality of cream received fronv the farm. Where co-operation is established and each patron realizes that his returns depend upon the quality of butter manufactured at the creamery he can be taught the necessity, for better care of his cream. A private creamery because of sharp competition is forced to take cream of poor quality, but the cooperative creamery, with- each individual a part owner, can be much more critical of the products taken In and as a consequence better butter is made and the top market price received. Many cooperative creanerles have been absolute failures. This may have been the result of one or more of many causes. A promoting com* pany may have organized the company in a community where there was not enough cows kept to insure its success. Possibly It was not due Out of the Whaleback.

A good, thoroughly competent man should be engaged at a lib eral salary to look after the entire business of the creamery. With such a man its success is practically a» sured. A factor working very detrimen tally to^ the 'co-operative creamery is the lack of unity and co-operative spirit among farmers. This is a very serious condition, but is generally due to the lack, of a competent head and in a creamery organization of farmers if a strictly reliable manager is engaged-there is little trouble on this score. As previously mentioned the co operative creamery is the ideal condition. The leading dairymen in each community shouht-get—together to talk over the matter and secure the services of some one from their dairy school or the state dairy and food department to assist them in the organization. It will pay them not only in securing a sure market for their dairy product, but a market that will guarantee better returns. Fitting Aged Ewes for Market on the Farm By R. S. SHAW In maintaining a profitable flock of sheep careful selection must be practiced year after year, Some of the older ones must be eliminated and younger ones chosen to fill their places. As a general rule it is not desirable to keep ewes beyond their sixth year unless in the case of special individuals or flocks of strictly fine wooled types. The matter of age alone should not be the deciding factor in discarding the ewe, for her abilit yto raise a good lamb. The character and amount of fleece she produces and the condition of her teeth are factors to be considered as well. The profitable fitting and marketing of ewes too old to be useful further in and breeding flock is quite a problem, especially if her teeth are defective andshe is in-a thin condition because of having reared lambs during the past season. As a rule she cannot be fitted for market profitably on dry feed during the winter except with abnormal market conditions. ^ As soon as the old ewe's lambs, have been weaned she should be given ac< cess to succulent pasture such as second growth clover, a well established new seeding o- a patch of rape. To the forage thus secured may be added a liberal grain allowance of ground corn and oats In equal parts which would be improved some by the addition of a little bran or linseed meal If available. As soon as these conditions have fattened the ewe sufficiently for market then the best possible deal should be made with the drover or butcher before winter sets in. to an insufficient number of cows but' to the fact that the promoters followed their usual custom and charged an exorbitant price for the building and equipment There two factors have been .the greatest curse to cooperative creameries sad the community desiring a co-operative creamery should never elk nor accept the aid of a promoting company. Very often the failure of a co-operative creamery is due to mismanagement, the person selected to oversee the business affairs of the company being incompetent, due to lack of experience along creamery lines. The creamery manager should have had actual •xperlenoe In butter making Looking for New Potato Typos.

Take Hall's Family Pill* tor Constipation, There was a rather curious bituation in BChool district No, 3 in the county of Greenfield. There were six widowers living there and all of them farmers, and three of the six were the school trustees. For several years men teachers had been employed and had given good satisfaction, but now they were to change to the other sex. Widower Thomas, the moderator, had suggested the change, and he hadn't looked the other two in the face as he did it. He had simply said that he thought a school ma'am would teach the scholars manners as well as geography. Mr. Williams had agreed, but had at the same time said to himself: "I understand his little game." And Mr. Burt had agreed with him, but at the same time had said to himself: "The cute old rascal! But I see through him as if he was made ,of glass. If anybody around here marries that schoolteacher it will be me!" The three other widowers heard of the plan, and each one said it was a good thing and each one had his whiskers trimmed and his hair dyed and j made ready for the struggle. A sem- j inary was written to and a teacher sent on. It was for Widower Thomas to drive across the country in a horse and buggy to the railroad and meet her and bring her on. —Widower Thomas had hopes, that the schoolma'am would be about twentytwo and good looking. The arriving teacher turned, out to be all he had hoped for. He felt so well acquainted with her before they had driven hall a mile that he began: "Now. Miss White, you are coming among strangers, and I want to post you about them.. There's old Jim Williams to begin with. He's one of the trustees and a widower with four children. "And there's Moses Burt. He's another widower. Claims to be fortyeight years old, but will never see sixty again. Looking around for a young wife and ought to be ashamed of himself. Great hand to laugh at his own Jokes, but if you laugh with him he'll sure think you are in love with him and pop the question." "Then I shall not laugh." "Then there's Joab Tyler. Mebbe he's only fifty next birthday, as he claims, but he's sopping on the hair dye to beat the band. Five children for a second wife to take care of." "That's dreadful!" "Then there is Henry Stevens," continued ,the moderator. "I can't say that Henry is over forty years old, and his wife only left three children, but you can judge what sort of a man he is when I tell you that he never shed a tear at the funeral. He never even sniffled. Seemed Just as unconcerned as if he was hoeing: taters. I wouldn't adrise no woman to marry a man iike that. "Then comes Levi Schemerhorn. He was to Chicago once, and he'll brag of It to you and try to make out that he is a hero. Don't you let on that you think he's anything great or you'll be a goner." "No, I won't," answered the girl, "but are there any more?" "Ahem! One more. Miss White. It's me. I'm a widower with a hundred acre farm and only one child. My tater crop alone last year brought me $500, Rising of forty is my age. and I can run down a calf. Got a melodeon In the house and, am .willinp to buy a red ingrain carpet and lace curtains for the parlor. I n c a s e I get married V shall go on a wedding trip to Niagara Falls nnd not mind the expense." "And are there no young men in the neighborhood?" asked Miss White. "Jest one, and he's a hired man who don't amount to shucks—eats with his*knifeand fork and says that Boston is In New Jersey. If I was you I wouldn't let him get the idea that you was a kindred spirit" "No, I won't" Miss White was left at the house of the Widow Harkness, which was to be her first boarding place. Supper was not yet finished when the widowers began to gather, and in the course of half an hour the whole six were there. Their excuses were various, but the fact was apparent that they had come to size the schoolma'am up. .Once there no One would go and leave the others behind to get some advantage. The clock had struck midnight when the widow turned them all out; in a bunch. There wasn't exactly a fight outside the gate, but the six told each other .what they thought of hair dye and old galoots. When they were gone the schoolma'am turned to ,the widow and'asked:' "Don't .any of those men want yon for a wife?'* " " »' V "Not if they can get you," was the doleful reply. Ten, minutes of confidential talk settled things. The Mhooibeuse was close by, and on Its door was tackfd the notice: "Thjapto.ee closed for repairs" At daylight ;n#xt morn In* the widow turn sand a%horae tocher democrat .wagon,,jand>ithin two, hours,.MI«s .Whlt-e^tSMJftPded, at thp spot" wnen^ the moderator had found her.

Have your oven moderate at first, until the cakei3 fully rizen; then increase the heat, so as to brown it over quickly. Extreme heat stiffens the dough. If you stiffen the outside of the cake before the rising is complete, you stop the rising process. Then the leavening gas, forming inside, will bulge up the center, where the dough is still soft, an$i spoil the shape of the-cake. 3 a NOTE—Biscuits or other pastries made from stiff dough, that are cut into shapes for the oven, bake in a hot oven. This is because the cut surfaces of the dough do not sear over, but rather leave t h e pores open, allowing t h e leavening gas to escape and the heat to penetrate readily. Small ovens cool quickly; therefore they should be made several degrees hotter than a larger oven, and the less the door i s opened the better. Do not attempt t o bake bread and pastry together. Bread requires prolonged, moderate b a k i n g - pastry the reverse. Rave a strong nnderheat for baking powder preparations, especially pastry. These are only a few of the many baking helps found in the K C Cook's Book—a copy of which may be secured by sending the colored certificate taken from a 25-cent can of K C Baking P o w der to the JAQTJBS M F G .

Osborn has announced tlie appointment of Judge Joseph H. Steere of Sault Ste. Marie to succeed the late Justice F. A. Hooker of the supreme court. Horace M. Oren, a leading attorney at the Soo has been named to succeed Judge Steere on the local bench. Judge Steere and Gov. Osborn have long been friends and neighbors. Judge Steere was born May 19, 1852, at Addison, Lenawee county, Michigan. His father, Isaac Steere, was a native of Ohio. His mother was Elizabeth (Comstock) Steere, a native of New York and of English descent. Judge Steere's early days were spent in Lenawee county on the farm, He attended the district school and the Raisin Valley seminary, a Quaker school, from which he was graduated in 1871. He then attended the Adrian high school. In 1872 he entered the literary department in the University of Michigan and was graduated in 1876 with A. B. He entered the law office of Geddes & Miller at Adrian, where he spent two years. He was admitted to the Lenawee county bar in 1878. In the spring of 1878 the judge removed to the Soo and began the practice of law.-Although he has occupied the bench of the circuit court for 30 consecutive years- and- was. -last spririg re-elected for a seventh term of six years, he was never but once opposed at the polls, and that the first time he ran. Judge Steere is a lover of fishing and hunting. He Is a student and has made an exhaustive study of his native- state and especially of the Lake Superior region, and is probably the best informed man on Michigan history In the state. His library is the finest to be found anywhere in private hands insofar as it relates to the history of the north country. Judge Steere has never married. Iosco Co. to Pay for Troops During Fire. Inasmuch aa the law passed at the last session of the legislature requiring that the state shall bear the expenses where troops are ordered into a county during such emergencies as strikes, rlresT epidemics, etc., did not go into effect until Aug. 2, a portion of the expense of maintaining the company of militia in Iosco county following the fires last month, will have to be borne by that county. Auditor General Fuller and the state military board are now checking the accounts in order to determine the amount that will be charged against Iosco county. Inasmuch as the legislature relieved Shiawassee county of the expense incurred during the time when the state troops were ordered there during the strike a year ago, it is thought that the amount against Iosco county will be carried on the state's books until the next session of the legislature, when a bill probably will be passed relieving the county of the expense incurred previous to the time when the new law took effect. r "Back to the Farm" Day. The National Association of State Immigration Officials, of which A. C. Carton, immigration commissioner of Michigan, is president, has issued a circular urging that Wednesday, Sept. 20, be chosen as a cash-raising day for the promotion of the "back to the farm" movement. It is proposed that a meeting be held at the capital of each of the 40 states represented in the association and funds raised with which to push a campaign of publicity to induce city residents to forsake the wiles and wilds of the city and enter upon a peaceful rural existence. Admiral Togo Leaves for Home. Homeward bound, Admiral Count Togo boarded the Japanese liner Tam» ba Maru at Seattle and started on the last leg of his tour arouno" the world. Americans and Japanese crowded about the wharf in an effort to get a farewell glimpse of the naval hero. When Admiral Togo mounted the gang plank the crowd cheered vociferously, and he smilingly bowed his acknowledgment. The demonstration at the wharf was Insignificant compared with thfct given along the water front aa the Tamba Maru, with Admiral -Togo standing on the bridge beside her commander, moved slowly along through the harbor. The cruisers West Virginia and Colorado acted as escorts. In addition the Japanese organization had chartered boats to follow the Tamba Maru until she had passed out of the sound. Riverman Shoots Soo Rapids on Log. While over 5,000 persons looked breathlessly on James Pollock, a riverman, of Tower, Mich., successfully shot the St, Mary's river rapids, on a log. For his daring feat he received a purse of $35, made up by spectators. Seated in a canoe, with two Indian guides, Pollock was taken to the head of the rapids. Six minutes later, after being whirled about the thousands of gigantic boulders, often obscured from view, he emerged without a scratch at the lower end, and was picked up by a waiting launch. He was the first man to ever go over the rapids, a mile and a half long, of his own accord, unless seated in a boat. Before he started expert Indian guides, who have shot the rapids for years, declared Pollock's feat deliberate suicide. "It was soft money for me," he saidj afterward. "I would do it over again right away~forl50.!- -• Encampment Sites to Be Examined, The board to recommend as to the advisability of securing a permanent site for the summer maneuvers of the Michigan National Guard will go \pt Traverse City next week to examine sites which the city is offering, and which it is claimed will make the National Guard the finest camping quarters in this section of the country.

T O T A L FOR STATE IS ANNOUNC ED A 3 $2,290,000,000. Houghton County Reduced and Most of the Iron Ore Counties Are Advanced by Large Amounts. Apparently the poverty pleas of the various counties whose representatives appeared before the state board of equalization last week had little effect on that body, as the equalized value of the whole state has been tilted from $1,734,100,000 to $2,290,- 000,000, an increase of $555,900,000 since the last meeting of the board In 1906. However, this increase is $673,553,- 822 less than the value placed on the state by the tax commission in its report filed with the board last weNek. It was the contention of practically every representative that the boar^ of equalization should not follow the dictates of the tax commission in this regard, as it was the unanimous opinion of every one interested in taxation matters that the tax commission had gone slightly beyond the limit. That the board of equalization reduced the values ~&s placed "by the tax commission is no surprise to those who have followed closely the proceedings of the last two weeks. The Figures in Detail.

"I have been a perfecifbrute/^e^" knowledge frankly, "with no thought except for myself. Hunger was my master, and I ask your forgiveness, Miss MaclaJre." j Her eyes smiled. I "1 am ao very glad to have any one here—any one—In whom I feel even « little confidence—that nothing else jgreaily matters. Can you both eat, and listen?" j Keith nodded, his eyes full of Interest, searching her face. ! "Whoever I may be, Mr. Keith, and really that seems only of small importance, I came to Fort Larned seekjtag some trace of my only brother, rwhoxn we last heard from there, where pie had fallen Into evil companionship. On the stage trip I was fortunate ienough to form an acquaintance with-j-|~ * man who told me he knew where I jcpuld meet Fred, but that the boy was (hiding because of some trouble he bad lately gotten Into, and that 1 iahould have to proceed very carefully iao as not to lead the officers to discover his whereabouts. This gentlejmaa was engaged in some business at parson City, but he employed a man bring me to this place, and promto gat Fred, and meet me here the flowing day. There must have been failure in the plans, for I have here entirely alone now-for-three- It has been very lonesome, and d I've been a little frightened. erhapa I ought not to have come, and 3 am not certain what kind of a place jthla is. I was so afraid when you leaxne, bnt I am not afraid now." U"You have no need to be." he said berly, Impressed by the Innocent jeandor of the girl, and feeling thankttol that he was present to aid her.' "I old not wrong one of the South." 'My father always told me I could t a Southern gentleman under any rcumstances. Mr. Hawley was from y own State, and knew many of our j d friends. That was why I felt such usual confidence In him, although was but a. traveling acquaintance." *Hr. Hawley?" "The gentleman whom I met on the •Jaw." ' "On, yes; 'you said he was in business in Carson City, but I don't seem tcrremember'any one of that name." >"B*waa not- ihere permanently; f only* to complete some business deal." "And your brother? I may possibly hare known him." She hesitated an instant, her eyes dropping, until completely shaded by the long lashes. "He—he waa rather a wild boy, and fan away from home to enlist in the army. But he got into a bad set, and d deserted. That waa part of the which caused him to hide.

He b*lvj tft suspect this, but, if ao, who waa this Hawley, and with what eet had be aant this girl here? way he turned waa to oonfaont , to face a new possie.

Surely something serious must have happen* ed, or he would have been here before this. Do you—do you suppose there is anything wrong?" Keith did not smile' nor change posture. The more he delved into the matter, the more serious he felt the situation to be. He knew all those ranches lying south on the Canadian, and was aware that this was no outatation. JJo cattle ever came across that sandy desert unless driven by rustlers, and no honest purpose could account for this isolated hut. There had been frequent robberies along the trail, and he had overheard tales of mysterious disappearances In both ,Larned and Carson City. Could It be that he had now, accidentally, stumbled upon the rendezvous of the gang? He was not a man easily startled, but this thought sent his heart beating. He knew jsnough to realize what_such, a gang would naturally consist of— deserters, outlaws, rustlers; both Indians and whites, no doubt, combined under some desperate leadership. Gazing into the girl's questioning eyes he could scarcely refrain from blurting out all he suspected. Yet why should he? What good could It do? He could not hope to bear her south to the "Bar X" Rancl<, for the ponies were already too thoroughly exhausted for such a Journey; he dared not turn north with her, for that would "He sho' am, Missus; dar ain't nuth- In' higher in ol' Virginia dan de Keiths. < Dey ain't got much money sence the Yankees come down dar, but dey's quality folks jest de same. I was done born on de ol' Co'nel's plantation, and I reck'n dar wan't no finer man ebber libed. He waa done killed in de wuh. An' Massa Jack he was a captain; he rode on hossback, an' Lawdy, but he did look scrumptu* ous when he first got his uniform. He done fought all through de wah, an' dey say Ginral Lee done shook hands wld him, an' said how proud he was ter know him. You kin sutt'nly tie to Massa Jack, Missus." The negro's voice had scarcely ceased when Keith came in again, closing the door securely behind him. "All quiet outside," he announced, speaking with new confidence. "I wanted to get an understanding of the surroundings in case of emergency," he explained, as if In answer to the questioning of the brown eyes gravely uplifted to his face. "I see there is quite a corral at the lower end of this island, safely hidden behind the frlage of cottonwoods. And a log stable back of the house. Is the creek fordable both ways?" "I think so; the man who brought rue here rode away south." "And are you going to trust yourself to my care?" She came around the table with hands extended. He took them into He Flung Beth Coat and Hat Down With the Intention of Remaining. mean his own arrest, leaving her In worse condition than ever. If he only, knew who this man Hawley waa, u s purpose, and plane! Yet .what pro* tectlon could he and Neb prove, alone here, and without arms? All this flashed through his mind In an instant, leaving him confused and uncertain. "I hope not," he managed to say in answer tocher query. "But it la rather a strange mix-up all around, and I confess I fall to comprehend Its full meaning. It la hardly likely your friends will show up to-night, and by morning perhaps we can decide what la heat to da Let me look-} around outside a moment ' J Her eyes followed him aa he stepped through the door into the darkness; then her head dropped into the sup* port of her hands. There waa alienee except for the crackling of the fire, until Neb moved uneasily. At the sound the girl looked, up, seeing clearly the good-natured face of the negro. "Yor don't nebber need cry, Missus " he said soberly, "so* long aa Masaa Jack done 'greed to look after yo'." "Have—have you known him longf' "Has I knowed hica long, honey? Ebber sence 0010* de wah.

She heeitated to question a servant, and yet felt aha must uncover the truth. "Who la he? la he all bo claims to Virginia All the Iqyaity gad prtta of f l a m y 4ayg waa Ja Neb.. his grasp, looking down Into her eyes. 'Tea," she said softly, "I am going to trust you, Captain Keith."' He laughed. "Captain, hey? You must have been talking with that black rascal there," The swift color flooded her face, but her hands remained imprisoned. "I juat done tol*, her who de Keiths was down In ol* Virginia, sah," burst in Neb indignantly. "I sho' donrt want nobody to think 1 go trapsin' •round wld any low'white trash." The gray eyea and the brown, gaging into one another, smiled with understanding. "Oh, well," Keith acknowledged, genially, "I cannot say I am sorry you know something of my past glories; if one can't have a future, it Is some source of prido to have a past to remember. But now about the present We're not much protection to any one, the way we're fixed, aa we are unarmed." "There ^ii a big revolver hanging In a holster in the other room." aha an* awered, "and a abort, sawed-off gun of some kind, but I don't know about ammunition." "May we Investigate?" "Meet certainly," %nd aha threw open the Intervening door. Aa the two stepped into the other apartment she held the lamp in aid of their search. There la the revolver on the wall, and the gun is in the opposite corner. Iant ft strange you should be out In this country without armaT "We left Parson- w eomathlng of a rfl ten yen the atory* CHAPTER X. Mr. Hawley Reveals Himself. A fragment of candle, stuck tightly into the neck of an empty bottle, appeared on a low shelf, and Keith lighted it, the girl returning the lamp to its former position on the front room table. Investigation revealed a dozen cartridges fitting the revolver, but no ammunition was discovered adapted to the sawed-off gun, which Neb had already appropriated, and was dragging about with him, peering into each black corner In anxious search. The two were still busily employed at this, when to their ears, through the stillness of the night, there came the unexpected noise of splashing in the water without, and then the sound of a horse stumbling as he struck the bank. Quick as a flash Keith closed the intervening door, extinguished the dim flame of the candle, and grasping the startled negro's arm, hushed hlm__| into silence. Crouching close behind the door, through a crack of which the light streamed, yielding slight view of the interior, the plainsman anxiously awaited developments. These arrivals muBt certainly be some of those connected with the house; there could be little doubt as to that. Nevertheless, they might prove the posse following them, who had chanced to stumble accidentally on their retreat In either case they could merely wait, and learn. Some one swore without, and was sharply rebuked by another voice, which added an order gruffly. Then the outer latch clicked, and a single man stepped within, Immediately closing the door. Keith could not see the girl through the small aperture, but he heard her quick exclamation. "Oh, Is it you? I am so glad!" The man laughed lightly. "It is nice to be welcomed, although, perhaps, after your time of loneliness any arrival would prove a relief. Did you think I was never coming, Christie?" "I could not understand." she replied, evidently with much less enthusiasm, and to Keith's thinking, a shade resentful of the familiarity, "but -|-&attiraily supposed you must be unexpectedly delayed." "Well, I was," and he "apparently flung both coat and hat on a bench, with the intention of remaining.- "The marshal arrested a fellow for a murder committed out on the Santa Fe Trail, and required me as a witness. But the man got away before we had any chance to try him, and I have been on his trail ever since." (TO BE CONTINUED.) UNCLE CAL GOOD REASONER Fired Question at Camp Fire Astronomer That Probably Was Hard to Answer. "The late George Cary Eggleston was in the Confederate army," said a New York editor, "and, as Memorial day approached, he would narrate at the Authors' club many a memory of war times. "I Hired to hear his yarns about the child-like minds of slaves. He once told me, for example, about a grizzled slave named Uncle Cal, body servant to his colonel. "Aa Eggleston sat before a camp fire one coollsh autumn evening, watching Uncle Cal mend the colonel's coat, the crimson and gold glory of the autumn sunset turned the talk to astronomy, and Eggleston said: * 'You see, Uncle Cal, the world is round, like an apple, and it goea round, too—round and round it goea all the time.' " 'Hit's round an' hit goes round,' said Uncle Cal, skeptically. 'But what I want to know la, what holds it up?' "'Why, you aee, Uncle Cal,' aald Eggleston, the world goea round the sun, and the sun holds it up—by at* traction, you know.' "Uncle C$1 glanced from his coat mending to Eggleston with a patron* izing smile. " 'Honey/ he said, 'Ah reckon yo' hain't gone far 'nough in you' reason- In*.

A new discovery has been made about Chateaubriand: nothing less than that he once sold stockings on commission. It waa in 1790, when he waa still an officer In the royal aerr* ice. He had a debt of honor, amount* Inp; to £200. He wrote to a distant relative, one La Morandais, who manufactured stockings in Switzerland, appealing tor help on the ground that he must either pay that debt or blow his brains oat La Morandais, Instead of sending him money, send him 1 » pairs of stockings, offering him a liberal commission if he would sell tfaem snong his distinguished friends. He grate* fully accepted the ofjer and succeeded ft disposing of the merchandise.

"What is the occasion of yonder enthusiastic gathering?" asks the stranger in our midst. "That," we explain, "is an assemblage of popular song writers erecting a monument to their greatest benefactor." "And who was he? Some man who purchased largely of their product?" "Oh, no. He was the man who discovered that 'lady' rhymed with 'baby.'" "About two months ago my hands started to crack open and bleed, the skin would scale off, and the good flesh would burn and itch dreadfully. When my hands first started to get sore, there were small blisters like water blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully. It just seemed as though I could tear the skin all off. I would scratch them and the skin would peel off, and the flesh would be all red and crack open and bleed. It worried me very much, as I had never -had anything the matter with my skin. I was so afraid I would have to give up my employment. "My doctor said he didn't think it would amount to anything. But it kept getting worse. One day I saw a-piece in one of the papers about a lady who had the same trouble with her hands. She had used Cuticura Soap and Ointment and was cured. I decided to try them, and my hands were all healed before I had used one cake of Cuticura Ointment. I am truly thankful for the good results from the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them I was cuafcd, and did not have to lose a day from work. I have had no return of the skin trouble."

The Holsteln breed of dairy cattle, so far as the production of > milk is concerned. Is without a rival in quantity, but the milk does not average as high in butter fat. although there are some exceptions, says the American Agriculturist The milk la excellent lor cheese or buttermaklng and is considered especially valuable for sale as milk in cities. It develops young animals rapidly, being rich In the constituents that go to form bone and muscle and develops tissue. Holstelns are especially adapted to farm and dairy conditions in the middle west They have large, fleshy frames and do particularly well on the level prairies of the middle west. They thrive on grain and forage crops under those conditions. They take care of themselves and do not require pampering and for this reason are well suited to commercial purposes. While other breeds do just as well for butter production, the Holstelns, because of the large quantity of milk produced, have captured many records 'for total amount of butter fat. but In addition to the butter fat the large quantities of sklmmilk can be turned to excellent account. Holstein steers, while not as satisfactory for beef as some of the strictly meat beef breeds, fatten quite readily and furnish a very high grade of beef. They can therefore be utilized to much better advantage tbau the steers of In sections where mux is produced for city trade the Holitein cow comes pretty near being the leader. She glvea a large quantity of moderately rich milk. She la healthy, rugged, vigorous and capable of utilizing large quantities of feed. The breed Is a very old one. No one—knows just where It originated. Of course the breed was developed to its perfection in northern Holland, and for hundreds of years Holland has been famed for Its dairy products. , .

There are some principles in feeding horses that should be understood. The horse's stomach is small, and he should not be required to (ret his nutriment from such coarse roughage as straw when at work. Tbere Is no better feed for the working horse than ground oats and corn varied with whole grain sometimes and a bran mash occasionally. The grain ration should be adapt* ed to the roughage, feeding more oa|t. ollmeal and bran with timothy' b'ay^ and more corn with clover and alfalfa. A heavy team doing mard work with fimothy hay for roughage should bare twelve to fifteen pounds of grain per day in three feeds and perhaps ten pounds of bay at each feed fed with the gmn and possibly a little more hay at night.

Being shown the article and informed that the price was $1.15, he said: ,4Why, I can get that same kind 01 an ax from a mail order house for ninety cents," "Very well," said the hardware man; " I will yive it to you for the same price, providing you will do the same with me as you will do with it.', "All right," replied the customer, as he handed over a dollar bill, the merchant giving him back ten cents in change. "Now," said the hardware man, "I want 25 cents more to -pax express charges," ^which the purchaser gave him. How much didryour ax cost you?" "One dollar and fifteen cents," the man answered. "Very good. Now give mo 5 cents more for a money order foes and postage," which the purchaser had to hand over. "Now how much did your ax oost you?" "One dollar and twenty cents," said the customer. "Not so cheap after all," said the merchant, whereupon he picked up 'the ax, tossed it back on the shelf, and told the customer to call for it in ten days as that would be as soon as he could get it if he had ordered it from the mail order house. i r FALL T I M E 1 3 FLY TIME Now it the time to buy that gallon of Zenoleum Fly Skoot and protect your horses and cows from the flies SFRAYBR FRBB WITH EACH GALLON Pinckney Opera House The engagement of "Tempest and Sunshine" n dramatization of Mary J. Holmes' popular novel, which is scheduled for Friday evening, September 15th at che Pinckney Opera House, on which date Brondon and Murray will present the Parker piece, is creating widespread interest amoug all classes of theatre goers in this village. It is now an established fact that "Tempest and Sunshine" is the most successful production ever launched. Ths theme of the play deals with the direct opposites in temperment of two sisters and the complications in consequence. It is vivid and truthful in its pro* trayal and cannot fail to enlist the interest of-all who see it. The scenery is beautitul, everything used in the representation being carried by the company. The costuming^ is quaint and pretty, made in the fashion of 1850 which is the period of the play.

Z JP£ &• ILLNMET MONG the garnest of salt water fish and the one that affords great sport to the angler Is the blackflsh of eastern waters. There are those who claim that salt water fishing lacks one of the essentials of true sport, there being no casting or other fine rod work to be done. They maintain, and not unjustly, that as much skill Is needed to lure some of the fresh water varieties to the bait as to land them after a strike, and that one misses the keen battle of wit against Instinct and natural warirjess. / j i of which, while true, doeB not alter the fact that surroundings play an all-important part In the full enjoyment of a day's outing with rod and reel, a thing even the IAHDIHG A &IQ OMt most enthusiastic angler would soon come to realize were it posgible to catch the highly prized varieties from_Jhe_jmpictuxfisfluo docks -along the water fronts of our cities. There is inborn within all of us a keen love of the beautiful in nature and in the appeal made to it by the country into which we are taken lies much of the fascination of angling. We are stirred by the swish of the wind through the swaying trees, the murmur of thes* brook, the silence of the deep pool among the rocks, the placid lake, the fragrance and mystery of the wild woods. And is not the sea every bit as fascinating? Indeed, once experienced, one never again escapes the subtle spell it weaves about one with its saltladen breezes, its wonderful skies, the great body of water sparkling in the sunshine, the silvery beaches, rocky ledges and luxuriant green shores. The blackflsh inhabits localities that show the sea at its best and he is so game and crafty a fighter as to leave nothing to wish for on this score. It is not for nothing that he has won for himself the name of "bulldog of the Bea." His large, powerful jaw Is of iron, and he will dispute eyery inch of Une, resorting to all mann e r of clever tricks in order to free :liimself. He is never caught until you have him safely in the boat and the t skiralsh4>etween^urwttr^ncelyend In bis getting away with the best part at *our Jtacklfi _unleaa your band is . skMed and your attention unwavering. \ The blackflsh u to be found along the shores of New York, Connecticut,' Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Old fishermen claim that bis appearance mortb of Rhode Island is comparative- B|v of recent date. In days gone by, when the Indians roamed the territory at will, he had place among their choicest table delicacies and we are told that the Mohegans, who called him "tautog," held him in high esteem as a spring and fall food. The name of blackflsh, evidently due to the fish's color, is not a particularly fortunate one. Though the black is of a dark gray and mottled, the sides are dJecMerfly lighter and the under part almost white. The blackflsh inhabits the vicinity of rocky ledges, reefs and rough bott o m l a n d shows a, decided preference far places where the tide runs swiftly. Here he will lie in ambush behind some sheltering rock and" await the passage of shrimp and small crabs carried down by the tide. When he spies his prey he darts out with lightning rapidity, pounces upon it and darts back to cover. This predilection for tidal flues hag won Mm the name of "tide runner" in certain facilities. He is also found inside the „ « « J « K hook into the protruding neck of the sandy bays along the. southern shore* c l A I D of Long Island and on the ocean banks i twisting it around until it is off Sandy Hook. In fact, the largest speci-mens are to be caught in these localities, and this, added to a Blight • *r tween the rock and the sand catches, has led; to the belief that there are two distinct varieties of blackflsh, which U not the case. Only one exists. ", •:.•'•:.' Wondrous tales are told tn the eastern fish market regarding the size of some of the blackflsh brought in from the banks and there are those who wilt swear to having seen BO pounders weighed. Like the majority of extraordinary flea stories they cannot be credited. No specimen tipping the scale even at 20 pounds Is authentically on record, and ten pounders arei Considered a wonderful rsr- - i t y ^ Men who fish constantly claim thai tim, season's average /show* a prejendiaJBftce of two and three pounder*, with a few five, six or even •even pocnders to boast of.

Sailboats are rather dangerous in this respect and it is no rare occurrence to see one hung up high and dry by the falling tide. Rowboats are very convenient for near-shore fishing, but rather risky. Squalls arc- likely to come up at any moment and make matters more than ' interesting for the fishers. The blackflsh is said never to desert his home waters and it is a fact that he never visits the rivers like do the salmon and the sturgeon to lay his spawn. At the advent of the cold weather he becomes torpid and goes into hibernation, not emerging again into life until spring. April makes the return of his appetite and fishermen time the period of his reappearance with the flowering of the dogwood. Prom then until November he can be caught, though there ia a time in mid-summer, during the excessive heat, when he will only_be_Jtempled.hy the daintiest of delicacies. By September he is feeding voraciously: again, however, so the slack season only lasts a few weeks. The bait commonly used for blackflsh is the soft-shell clam and the fiddler crab. Knowing anglers swear variously by shrimp, hermit crab, sandworm, hard clam and the tail-end of a chicken lobster as, irresistible morsels when the fish are not biting well, but, &B a rule, there is no necessity for special bait. The securing of a soft-shell clam on the hook is a task that requires consummate skill. Wherever lives the blackflsh is to be fpund also in great abundance the small fish called the bergalt or cunner, and the bergalt has a particular fondness for claras afad fiendish cleverness in separating them from a hook. While he is about it you feel a few gentle nibbles and then motion ceases. You pay no attention, of course, but alter waiting vatnly for trhite you decide to inspect the bait and find to your surprise that it is gone. The hook is picked as clean as a whistle, A motionless line, free from nibbles has come to indicate a baitless hook to the seeker of the blackflsh. The most effective way of cheeking the predatory instinct of the bergalt is to bait with the entire clam, shell and all. This is done by inserting the firmly imbedded into the hard muscle of the bivalve and then cracking the shell lightly. Prepared this way the clam is easily taken into the £ i « > * ? t b , e w d l , r ? 6 ; c * ot CQ,0f ^ big mtmth of the blackflsh, but pre- ^¾¾^¾ Z * f t * « » 4nd sailboat* a r e ^ s o ejflralong the coast skiffs ccaarrrryj out laaaty fishermen. On Saturdays and senta an. armored surface to the begalt which he attempts vainly to break through. The vast majority of blackflsh anglers being fishermen rather than sportsmen, and counting* 4he day's enjoyment only from the standpoint of the catch, scruple not to minimize as much as possible the fish's chances of escape. They use heavy hand lines provided with two or three good hooks, and when a fish strikes it becomes merely a matter of hauling it in, hand over hand. There are others, though, who have the right sporting blood and believe in equalising matters so that skill will have to be brought into play. They use light rather than stiff poles, preferably of split bamboo, and bass lines. The blackflsh, being a bottom fish, i f is necessary to anchor the line. This is done4$ s e w i n g a small sinker to the end. Above It are spliced two leaders a foot or »0 apart, each bearing a hook, the alas of which depends on the individual's, idea; of what is proper. These ideas evidently vary greatly, for a wide rahge is seen. To greedily on clams, only to reverse & few hours later. It has therefore been found wisdom to offer them both baits at once. Landing a blackflsh with rod and reel is an interesting and exciting pastime. His dash for the bait is so sudden and his retreat so swift that one is often taken unawares. There are no warning nibbles, no quiet swimming off with the line. It is a case of grab and run for cover. Therefore must one be ever alert and stop him as soon as he bites. Luckily, there is no fear of his spitting out the bait; he seizes boldly and generally hooks himself fast. The danger lies in another direction—in his great strength and wonderful cunning. He has you both ways. If you stop him too suddenly he will throw all his weight on the line and snap it off before you know it; if you try to play him loosely he will dart behind some rock, snarl the line, and it will either snap or saw off when you try to free it. One must know one's business thoroughly to be successful and also be constantly on the qui vlve. And even then accidents will occur. The wise flsberman always has extra tackle with him. It is generally conceded that blackfish bite best on the rising tide and one cannot deny that exceptions prove the rule, but in more than one instance the- writer has -hauled in goodstrings on the ebb tide, and the largest catch he ever witnessed— in number, not in size—was made during the first three hours of a falling tide. Weather conditions are said to influence the biting of blackflsh. A wellknown writer on game fish gives it as his opinion that ideal conditions are clouded skies and sufficient breeze to Just ruffle the water without stirring it. The writer's experience and that of several of his angler friends has been that weather makes very little difference. A common belief, in no way substantiated, is that blackflsh have a keen sense of hearing. Novices are always cautioned to make as little noise as possible. It is also said that thunder so frightens the blaek&sh that they will cease from bitrqg at _the first peal; and to this is added the_ legend that after sharp crashes of lightning a number are to be found floating around on the surface dying or dead. Not the least good point ot the blackflsh is his toothsomeness. Fresh caught and cooked on the embers, he offers a morsel fit for the gods. The flesh is firm, savory and possessed of a delicious flavor. But, to the writer, the greatest charm In blackfishlng lies in the beautiful nooks and enchanting little islands about his haunts where one can go ashore either for a few hours or, if the spirit moves, for several days of camping. Nothing is more delightful than to idle away the time in such pleasant surroundings, fishing, bathing and boating. And the catch will not be wasted* for the blackflsh is strong and hardy and will suffer no ill effects from being confined alive to a tank or small pool for a few days. w 4 l the writer a it h*»«*e*«d to beat fill requirement!.

By H. H. MUSSELMAN, Instructor in Farm Engiaeiruf, Michifta Agricaitural Colitis A Telephone Bluff. At 101st street and Broadway a man was talking into a telephone, says the New York Times. Presently he was heard to say: "All right, I'll come. I am now at 23rd street and Broadway. Ill be up in about half an hour." "That chap seems to have lost his bearings," said a man who had overheard the error in locality. "He knows where he is, all right," said a drug clerk. "He's just putting up a bluff. It is quite a common bluff. Men who have a mighty regard for truth at all other times do not hesitate to tell a whopper over the telephone. I have heard 1 persons swear over the wire that they were telephoning from points all the way from Hoboken to AmityvlUe. They were not seasoned Uars, either; Just wanted a few minutes' grace, apparently, and thought the easiest way to get It was to make out they were a mile or two further away than they really were.- . . . The history of agricultural machinery has been one of extremely rapid development within comparatively recent years. The trend of development has been toward the application of power to hand processes. The history of manufacturing shows the same course. We are told that the extended use of power has made the work of the world less arduous and shortened the hours of labor. Man's progress depends largely upon his capacity to do work, which is the result of the expenditure of energy. The use of power has* multiplied his capacity a hundredfold. The man with the hoe, dull and uncomprehending, is passing, and in his stead we find the man with wits keen to direct and hands skilled to control the energy which doubles his own a score, whether it be the four-horse team, the steam engine, or the gasoline tractor. Through the agency of well adapted agricultural machines he has been able to direct this energy into useful work, the effectiveness and nicety of which the unaided hand of man could never equal. This year at Winnipeg, Canada, Was held~a competition of motor trac-~ tors, steam, gasoline and kerosene. Here were met thirty-one outfits from half as many companies. For three weeks these machines were subjected to the severest testa on the brake and in the field under actual working conditions. Virgin prairie sod, the toughest task the plowman has ever encountered, was severed and upturned with a rapidity and ease amazing to the layman. What was the purpose of it all? Primarily to determine the adaptibility of the various types of machines to the work for which they are intended, but in a larger sense to develop and perfect a machine which means the making of the northwest. We are accustomed to the use of power on the farm in Michigan. The principal sources are the windmill, the gasoline engine, the steam engine, and the horse. The field has been divided and to the lighter duties have been assigned the windmill and the gasoline engine. The Bteam engine handles the heavier duties to which it is adapted, but to man's most faithful friend, the horse, falls the greater share. The steam engine has never been seriously considered as a field machine in Michigan on account of its weight and unwleldiuesa on the comparatively smalt fields and farms. There is being brought forth today, "however; the right- Internal combuation tractor intended for general purpose work upon the farm. It has not CONTROL OF SQUASH BUGS By R. H. PETTTT, Entomologist, Michigan Agricultural College »e»e»eeeeMeee«seeae+aeeefr« Everyone knows the large black stink-bug or squash-bug of the garden and field. All of us have tried to kill it by sprays, dust baths and what not, but still the stink-bug flourishes. There seems to be no wash or powder that will kill the bug without at the same time killing the plants. * The eggs of these marauders are red in color, and quite large; they are laid in patches on the leaves, for the most part, on the under side. The young bugs that come from these eggs resemble the adults very much except in their proportions and in size, although of course they lack the wings. Not only do the bugs attack the vines, piercing them with their as yet proven its worthy but many are looking forward to its advent with the keenest interest. Can such a machine find a field of usefulness, and if so what would be the basis of its adoption? Suppose we give the matter of the amount of power furnished some consideration and in so doing leave out all other factors. We will compare roughly the power furnished by the tractor with that furnished by the horse. At present the unit of power Is the horse. This unit may he combined, into the two, three and even the four-horle Team. The latter is about the limit of power tliat one man can handle advantageously. The average horse is able to develop nearly a unit horsepower when used continuously. One horsepower here is intended to mean the unit used in measuring work. A man then driving a fourhorse team would be able to control the energy equal to four-horsepower. If he were using a twenty horsepower tractor which should develop, roughly speaking, about fifty per cent, of the total horsepower at the draw bar, he should then have from 6-10 horsepower available for effective work with- -the—engine working - a t -some* where near its full load. All other things being equal, the balance would be in favor of the tractor since it would enable one man to control a greater amount of power. Aside from the question of power furnished there is a question of adaptability which the manufacturer is assiduously working out. An example of what we mean by adaptibility may be shown by the following: A fourrhorse team may be divided and each horse or unit used complete in itself, this adapting it to smaller yet Important details of work. In the tractor this would manifestly be impossible, but on the other hand the tractor through its construction and efficiency would be found especially valuable for belt work where horses can be used to very little advantage. There are many questions of design such as types of engines, gears, clutches, height, height and width of drivers, kind of lugs for effective traction, weight, etc., which time and experience together must determine. If, however, we can add to the size and adaptibility of the now commonly understood and used gasoline or kerosene engine, obtain fuel at a reasonable cost, and shift a proportionately larger share of the work upon thiB unfeeling machine, then it will surely And favor.

Canada thistles, ragweed, pigweed, foxtail, etc., are among the commonest kinds found. It is not uncommon for ragweed and foxtail to overtop the new seeding and mature their seeds perfectly. Most of these weeds can be prevented from seeding by clipping, with the cutter bar of the mower tilted up so as not to Injure the new clover seeding. If the growth It heavy it may be permitted to cure and then raked up and stored for win* ter forage for sheep, otherwise destroyed. This work can usually be done during August or September at times when farm work is not pressing. Of the weeds which seed In this way at this time, the ragweed is probably most persistent and pernicious. The practice -Just advocated ia pursued on the Michigan Agricultural College farm in case die seedlngs are not pastured by sheep. A constant warfare has to be waged against weeds owing to their introduction in the purchase of hay, straw and grain for feeding, all the manure botag returned to the-farm. < - > j • * - * 1 ' - • • — - - - j - •• - — Many promising colts are ruined by being forced on long drives with their dams.

Newell Dwight Hillis, the now famous New York preacher and author, some years ago took charge of the First Presbyterian church of Evanston, 111.

AhbtherTawyer's story arrives^ We are told that a man was charged with picking a pocket the other day and that when' arraigned he pleaded "guilty."

"Tbers's a The night show to he given in connection with the State Fair this year will, according to the management, be the most magnificent spectacle ever presented. The increased premiums and special prizes will bring forth the very best in horseflesh, and the gorgeous horse show will be put on as a prelude to the magnificent fireworks spectacle in front of the grand Btand. Motor Hall will also be kept open evenings and the immense display of autos on the firoi floor, with the Industrial exhibit and electrical show on the second floor, will be a most interesting part of the fair. But the pyrotechnic display, including the grand realistic spectacular production, "Pioneer Days and Chief Pontiac's Attack on Fort Detroit," will be the piece de resistance of the night entertainment. This realistic spectacular production 4s...fejer. ing especially designed for the Michture of the many program offerings, and the management decided that by presenting "Pontiac and the Siege of Fort Detroit"—easily the most appealing of all the spectacular shows —they could please the exposition crowds and at the same time present a stirring historical incident of Detroit's early days when, on May 7, 1763, Pontiac, the Ottawa chief, with a band of Indians, passed through the gate of the old Fort Detroit stockade, erected when the city was founded in 1701, intending to surprise and massacre the garrison; but the exposure of his plot on the previous day by Catherine, the Ojibwa girl, caused the defeat of his plans and he retired to his wigwam to hatch over a new scheme of revenge.

To entertain the multitude* who v, ill come to the State Fair and in keeping with the carnival spirit, the officials have worked the whole year ahi planned this night spectacular fete of great local historical interest that of "Chief Pontiac's Conspiracy," as given by the Due Company and pronounced by them as the most brilliant spectacle of the kind ever given anywhere. Of the many fireworks pageants submitted; the general theme of Pontiac's attack on the old Detroit stockade was conceived as the big featiac's treachery, with_all the stirring res—the "wiIderness, with the lonely, unpainted cabins in the clearings— the old Fort Detroit stockade— Major Gladwyn, a daring man among the Indians—the red-coated troops in the barracks—Catherine, the Ojibwa girl, reputed to have been the belle of the tribe, who unfolded the plot to the whites—the marauding bands of Indians—Chief Pontiac, who held his savage followers under his will— all this presented in pantomime with new scenery and gaudy trappings, is spectacular In the extreme, "and the show at night in the open field portrays in action the white settlers and the nomadic life and ways of the Indians in the Michigan wilderness, and a stirring episode of the career of a famous Indian chief, who figured in the early history of Detroit and lower Michigan. 1 Young Lady in New York Adopts Men's Attire. Stenographer Who Believes in Being Comfortable When at Work In Her Office—Her Ideas of Present Fsshions, New York.—The newest slogan of reform in women's dress is; "Trou* sera for the business woman!" if ever men and women are to be equal a radical reconstruction In Woman's dress must take place, say theN emancipatresses of the sex. The reform has already begun and a brave i)xtle stenographer in a downtown New York office is the first champion of the cause. She has introduced trousers and shirtwaist as costume for her working hours. While she is enthusiastic to a degree, her courage fails her when it comes to going to and from work In man's attire. For this purpose she hac a dress which she slips on. > This young woman Is not of the type that has worn trousers as a matter of principle or convenience before. She is dark, dashing, buoyant and vigorous, and the picture of her herewith establishes her undeniable claim to good looks. Hitherto the women who have worn men's attire have lacked both youth and good looks. Some, like Dr. Mary Walker, had the courage of their convictions and dressed like__ra_en, because they found men's clotheB much more comfortable than their own. Others have put on coat and trousers in order the better to earn their living and have wept when they were discovered and had to resume the conventional apparel of their sex. But this girl stenographer is the roungest and prettiest of the women who have entertained advanced IdeaB of dress reform and have dared to carry them out. She by no means wishes to attract attention or who is adopting trousers Dust and Tuberculosis.

This early it is apparent that every department, from the poultry show to Che horse and cattle departments, will be crowded with exhibits and What to do with the overflew Is a big problem the management must cope with before the fair opens. In the agricultural and horticultural sections, the exhibits will be larger than ever before, the development bureaus of the upper peninsula, the western and northeast sections of the state having engaged all of the space the fair management would allot them for the exhibits from their sections. Every Inch of available space has been taken on the floor of Motor hall by motor car manufacturers and dealers, and this show will this year he one of the leading features of the fair.

She is acting purely for comfort and health r.nd is greatly opposed to the present styles for women, holding that they are basely immodest. She is a young woman who has always been full of Belf-respect, and In adopting trousers in place of skirts sho-haa done s a with dignity and reason. Speaking of her views on dress she says: "There is hardly a girl who har not dressed herself in man's clothes some time or other 4Just for a lark.' There is not one who ever has done so hut has' sighed for the freedom of movement which skirts have denied her. I am not a dress emancipator who dreams only ot her hobby. But I believe the present style of tight skirts is not only uncomfortable but immodest Trousers are far more decent for women than their narrow skirts and low cut waists. They are more economical and hygienic. They do not gather dust and germs the way skirts do, and if you wear trousers there is no necessity for wearing corsets. I never saw a girl yet who enjoyed the corset. Every one of us wears them for the same reason as skirts—long established custom." Doubtless the present fashions have reached such a point of absurdity that a greater reform in women's wear than has ever been known before will result In the hobble skirt, fashion overreached itself—even its inventors laughed at the preposterousness of It It has furnished one of the strongest anti-suffrage arguments: "A sex that deliberately cripples Itself Is not sufficiently intelligent to be allowed tc vote/' the antis say.

In a communication to the Breeder's Gazette extolling ,the virtues of the dairy Shorthorn H. W. Avery says: I am a farmer in central New York and make cattle the main issue. Milk from the herd brings money every day in the year, and every week or so the butcher hands me a Dice check for a beef animal. I am entirely satisfied with the returns from the herd. It brought me over $8,000 last year, more than half of which was net profit. 1 imagine they would be called dual purpose cows, the kind of cows that will not down, notwithstanding the insistent didactic statements of the self styled "special purpose" men to the contrary.r Ninety-nine per cent_of cows are ke^pt because their owners make money out of them or hope to. A cow that brings her owner a profit is really a special purpose cow kept especially for that purpose, whether it be from beef alone, from milk alone or from milk and beef combined. Six years ago 1 decided that the dairy Shorthorn was the best money maker for me in the cow line, and the results have not • disappointed me. Last winter I visited England to look over the dairy Shorthorns. It was not bard to find many splendid cows of the type that will give lots of milk and make good beef when required The English records for a day's production are in excess of ours, but the 0 0 YEArt* EXPERIENCE TftAM MARKS DEMONS COPYRIGHT* 4 6 .

Geer Notary PoMtcrwttb $&\ PINCKNBY MICH TrTe dairy Shorthorn cow Amy V., here illustrated, owned by Samuel Sanday, Cheshire, England, is a good example- of trrts~type of cattle. She gave over sixty pounds of milk in a day at the London dairy show last October. Amy V. is a handsome cow with dairy conformation, a capacious, well placed udder and a frame that carries lots of meat a* yearly production is not so great, owing to the desire of the English breeder to nave his cow go dry and produce a calf every year. Darlln^on Cranford V. of Lord Rothschild's herd has given in ten years a total of 101,746 pounds of milk, or an nverage of 10,- 174.6 pounds per annum, and she produced eleven calves, once twins, it was Interesting to note that the milk as produced by this herd and weighed for each cow made a total of 004,880 pounds for 1D10. and the weight of the same milk sold was 503.715 pounds, or a shortage of less than fifteen pounds* per cow for the year. Experiments With Horsaf. During the years 1909-10 experiments were conducted on-four Danish farms for the purpose of determining the relative value of oats and Indian corn,' of oats and mangels or rutabagas and of whole and cut straw in feeding work horses of the Jutland breed. The main experiment period lasted, as a rale, from two to three months. By substituting corn for oats two pounds of corn was found equal to two pounda of oftta i s the grain ration, and some straw was saved by making this change. When about four pounds of o*ts was replaced by roots in a ration of from twenty to twenty-four pounds of oats two pounds of diy matter in the roots proved equal to two pounds of dry matter i s the oats. Such a change in the ration, did not apparently produce any Injurious effects on the health or working capacity of the horses. No Prowt In SorubS.

' Whether In the main we are retrograding or improving, there is one matter in which men have been steadily growing better. That is in their treatment of women. Half a century ago among young men of the world there was not the high sense of honor in the treatment of women there is now. In the days of palatial steamboats, as they were called, on the Mississippi Roland Storms, traveling between St. Louis and New Orleans, met on the boat Adele Southwood, a young girl seventeen years old. Storms, who was ten years Miss South wood's senior, had considered making a "conquest" now and then one of those accomplishments that was to be expected of a young swell of the period. To him love was a game in which all was fair. If beaten at it be would have considered that nothing remained fit him but to take the consequences. If he beat the girl it was her part to grin and bear i t Miss Southwood was not only ignorant of such warfare, but was a girl of deep feeling. She and Storms would sit on the guards during the day looking out upon the ever changing panorama, now passing under some high bluff, now sailing above the surrounding lowlands on a river built up by the levees, to the evening they would go up on to the hurricane deck, watching the lights on the shore go by and. when the boat'stopped to "wood up," looking down on the line of deck hands in the glare of pitch pine knots transferring a wood pile to the boat for fuel. All this was new to Miss Southwood, and what was not only new but much more fascinating to an Impressible girl was having a young man in constant attendance, saying pleasant things to her one moment, talking seriously the next and finally laughing at her for being so matter of fact In this way he kept her In a puzzled state as to whether a mature man was really falling in love with her, a chit of a girl, or whether he considered her merely a child. Storms before reaching the Crescent City talked love to her—such love as pertains to the emotions without any prosaic references to marriage. But she was too unsophisticated to consider this. To her it was spontaneous love, something she had never experienced before and the more serious features of which were still a blank to her. At New Orleans the two partedV Miss Southwood to remain there for the winter, which was coming on, Mr. Storms going by the gulf of Mexico •-to-Teiasr Ther young girt considered that the event of her life had occurred, the young_man that n pleasant episode had occurre(TJtd~lrelieve the tedium of steamboat travel. This Is what he considered It at the time. He did not know that a seed had been planted in his heart which was not destined to germinate for a long while. He knew that this case was In some respects different from his many other affairs, but he did not consider it any more serious. It was four years before he met Miss Southwood again. He was walking on the principal street of Cincinnati, swinging a cane, a "beaver" on his head, a velvet coliar on his frock coat, a profusion of cravat on his bosom, his tight trousers strapped down over his instep, in short, dressed for a swell of the period, when he met, incaled in a diminutive bonnet of pink silk, one of the sweetest faces he had ever beheld. It belonged to a lady about twenty-one years old. and she was looking at him intently. In an instant he recognized the girt he had flirted with on the Mississippi and jilted at New Orleans. Naturally he was embarrassed. There was no expression in Miss Southwood's face sufficiently defined for him to tell how she felt toward him. He stopped to speak to her, standing uncovered, and asked if be might walk with her. Receiving permission, he Joined her. stammering things to ber which she. on her part, received with composure. She had been through the agony of getting over a first love and a first Jilt, and he could see no traces of suffering, of reproach or -of forgiveness. All seemed to be neutralised or, rather, fused into au absolute nothingness. Storms walked with her some ten minutes, at first trying to regain his equipoise, then to discover some indication of the young lady's feelings toward him. In the lattenhe failed. But since there was no indication of unfriendliness he made bold to hint t he would like to renew theaoqUaintance. Before parting^4dTas Southwood invited hint, tor come to see her the next afternoon at 2 o'clock. He accepted, and they parted. the appointed hour Storms, having summoned up all his will power., courage, adroitness to win again and win to keep what be had won and thrown aws/. went to call on Miss Southwood He found a number of gu t to be merried.

Yet such is often the case. It is a fact frequently commented on by philosophers that these peerages of cafe creation die with the fortunes that produce them. A real "prince among men" or "nature's nobleman" loses his title when hla money ceases to burn holes In his pocket, after which he should set aside a little money for his own obsequies. But those who argue from the forlorn and friendless passing of one of these "good fellows" that there are no real friend* to be had in this world are wrong. Every one can make friends, and stanch ones, too, by the practice of unselfishness, but not by wasting money on the ^worthless In the Tain hope of being considered a "good fellow," which is merely another name for a complete fooL D>JYS TO FORCE SUBMISSION IN E L E V E N , W E T S IN SEVENTEEN NEXT SPRING. THE ASTOR W ^ f f l l There's a new health-fad, blowing soap bubbles. A New Yorker who has just returned from a vacation trip to the Saranac lake region saw in one of the villages there a number of people, young, middle-aged and elderly, with clay pipes and glasses of suds, vying with one another in the childish pastime. Narrating his experience to a reporter, he exclaimed: "1 inquired of one resident if the place had become a retreat for the mildly Insane, and he told me that they were all people who had-—or thought they had—weak lungs. A doctor from New York was up there last winter and Introduced soap-bubble blowing as one of the aids in the cure of consumption. It makes the patients breathe deeply." It is plausible as many another therapeutic novelty, and certainly no harm can come of i t A little wbile ago there was some amusement because two American women had married Frenchmen claiming to be able to give them the title of-Duch.es* of Chofseul, and each questioned the right of the other to the title. Now •here will be more a m u s e m e n t Litigation has brought out the fact that it belongs to neither of them, though the husband of ^1.9 of them, formerly Mrs. Paine, is the seventh Duke of Praslln.

The claim that one of those French aviators made 165 miles an hour must await verification. It may be true, but an official statement would inspire more ready belief. Former Senator Clark of Montana has had a $126,000 pipe organ placed in his New York house, but he doea not as yet seem to have bought any golden cuspidors.

Taft The Gleaners, a farmers' organization of Northville, at a special meeting, passed resolutions asking all members of the local organization to refrain from attending the state fair at Detroit, Sept. 18, for the reason that President Taft would be there that day. _ % The reason for the action is that the Gleaners regard Taft as responsible for the Canadian reciprocity pact. They think the trade agreement will hurt the American farmer, and they don't want to be at a state fair where he will speak. The resolutions call upon all the Gleaners of the state "to do likewise."

M. Izvolsky, the Russian ambassador at Paris, has been authorized to (ell France that her proposals to Germany are accepted by [Russia as involving her full duties as an ally should Germany follow its rejection by a belligerent act.

Before the czar left for Kieff the German and Austrian ambassadors at St. Petersburg-went aboard the royal yacht Standart and bade him a long leave.

R 0 om H e a rs erdict, The jury in the case of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr,, charged with slaying his wife, returned a verdict of guilty Friday. It required only 58 minutes for the jury to reach..a decision. The 12 men filed out of the courtrom at 5:28 p. m. and at G:26 were back with the verdict. Beattie's nerve was unshaken, there not even being a tremor of his face as the verdict was rendered. Henry Beattie faced the men in the light of three little kerosene lights. "Gentlemen of the jury, have you agreed upon a verdict?" asked Clerk Coghill. "We have," said Foreman Farley. • "What, is it?" Beattie stood and heard the verdict- -announced-.—He rested on "his right hand which held to the desk before him. His left hand was placed on his hip. Not a trace of fear or emotion came to his face. The lips of his father trembled and the old man settled back as far as he could in the chair. A burst of approval of the verdict came from the people packing the courthouse. The judge rapped for order. The jurors were sent back - to their room because they did, not say in what degree they found Beattie guilty. The foreman's verdict read: "We, the jury, find the accused guilty as charged in the indictment." Mr. 'Wendenburg asked the court to have the charge amended to read guilty of murder in the first degree. -The Jury returned to the room and made the verdict guilty of murder in the first degree. The defense immediately made a motion to set aside the verdict. The-judge denied a motion for a new t r i a l s - .. Judge Watson granted a stay of sentence of ninety days, as asked by the defense. . . ^ - . - ^ Members of the jury that convicted Henry Clay Beattie say that their minds were made up before *'-- -'--. ing arguments of the lawyers on both sides were commenced. Beattie himself did the most to bring about, his conviction when he took the stand on his own behalf at the end of the trial, according to several of the jurymen. All of t h e 12 men knew that he was lying; his whole testimony did not carry conviction of the truth of his evidence nor of his in* nocence of the crime charged, against him.

The United States is facing the most severe sugar famine in years. The refineries have hardly £ny stock on hand; there ' U practically So trading in anything but seconds in the New York market; it is impossible to obtain any of last year's European surplus, and the fall crop for the United States threatens to show a large diminution. The price of sugar haa gone up steadily for months. It has risen <v cent and a quarter a pound, wholesale, the. last few weeks, and the fall production not only will not bring about a drop in prices, but may be responsible for a continuation for the increasing price. This is the situation as summed up by sugar experts in the department of agriculture, after a period of reports from all sugar-growing sections of the country, reports on the present condition of the market and estimates on the amount of sugar now held in stock by the refineries.

A. man (or woman) who dies at an earlier age is simply Ignorant of the laws of health." fiuch was th« original and rather startling statement made by Professor James St. Munyon, tee famous Philadelphia health authority, who Is establishing health headquarters in all the large cities of the world for the purpose of getting In direct touch with his thousands of converts. Professor Munyon is a living embodiment of the cheerful creed he preaches. "Virile, well poised, active and energetic, lie looks as though he would easily attain the century age limit which he declared Is the normal one. He said: "I want the people of the world to .know my opinions on the subject of health, which are the fruit of a life-time •devoted to healing the sick, people of America. There isn't a building In this «lty big enough to house the people In this State alone who have found health through my methods. Before I get through there won't be a building big enough to~housemy cured patients In this city alone. "I want, most of all? to talk to the eick people—the invalids, the discouraged ones, the victims of nerve-wearing, body- Tacking diseases and ailments—for these are the' ones to whom the message of hope which I bear will bring the greatest blessing. "I want to talk to the rheumatics, the sufferers from stomach trouble, the ones afflicted with that noxious disease, catarrh. I want to tell my story to the women who have become chronic Invalids as a result of nervous troubles. I want to talk to the men who are 'all run down,' whose health has been broken by ' overwork, improper diet, late hours and other causes, and who feel the creeping •clutch of serious, chronic Illness. "To these people I bring a story of hope. I can give them a promise of better things. I want to astonish them by showing the record of cures performed through my new system of treatment. "I have taken the beat of the ideas from all schools and embodied them in a new system of treatments individually Adapted to each particular case. I have 7»0 cure alls,' but my present method of attacking disease is the very best thought of modern science. The success which I have had with these treatments in this •city and all over America proves Its efficacy. Old methods must give away to new medical science moves. I know what my remedies are doing for humanity everywhere. I know what they will do lor the people of this city. Let me prove my statements—that's all I ask."

Keith Is arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, his accuser being a ruffian named Black Bart. He goes to jail fully realising the peril of swift border justice. A companion in his cell Is a negro, who tells him he is Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. Neb says one of the murdered men was John Sibley, the other Gen. WHHs Waite, formerly an officer in the Confederate army. The plainsman and Neb escape from the cell, and later the two fugitives become lost in the sand desert. They come upon a cabin and find Its lone occupant to be a young girl, whom Keith recognizes as a Binger he saw at Carson City. The girl explains that she came there in search of a brother who had deserted from the army. A Mr. Hawley induced her to come to the cabin while he sought to locate her brother. Hawley appears. i"' n* ; & •top the Pain. ejotsMr eat prevents soars/ las sad He* sp «Hao l» tke.oldeat.assi, moat I * \*r'\' *sr, .T^V x.» CHAPTER X.—(Continued.) "" "A murder! Did you imagine he came this way?" "Not very likely; fact of It 1B, the sand storm yesterday destroyed all traces, and, as a result, we've lost him. So I headed a few of the boys over In this direction, as I wanted to relieve you of anxiety." She was silent an instant, and the man crossed to the fireplace, where Keith could gain a glimpse of him. Already suspicious from the familiar sound of his voice, he was not surprised to recognize "Black Bart." The plainsman's fingers gripped the negro's arm, his eyes burning. So this gambler and blackleg was the gentlemanly Mr. Hawley, was he; well, what could be his little game? Why had he inveigled the girl into this lonely spot? And what did he now propose doing with her? As he crouched there, peering through that convenient crack in the door, Keith completely forgot his own peril, Intent only upon this new discovery. She came slowly around the end of the table, and stood leaning against It, her face clearly revealed In the light of the lamp. For the first time Keith really perceived its beauty, Its fresh charm. Could auch as she be singer and dancer In a frontier conc e r t h a l l ? And If-so, wbat-strange conditions ever drove her Into that sort of life? "Is—Is Fred with you?" she questioned, doubtfully. "No; he's with another party riding farther west," the man's eyes surveying her with manifest approval. "You are certainly looking fine to-night, my girl. It's difficult to understand how I ever managed to keep away from you so long." Sho flushed to the hair, her lips trembling at the open boldness of his tone. "I—I prefer you would not speak like that," she protested. "And why not?" with a light laugh. "Come, Christie, such fine airs are a trifle out of place. If I didn't know you were a concert hall artist, I might be more deeply impressed. As it Is, I reckon you've beard love words before now/' "Mr. Hawley, I have trusted you as a gentleman. I never came here except on your promise to bring me to my brother," and she stood erect before- him. "You have no right to even assume that I am Christie Mac!aire." "Sure not; I don't assume. I have seen that lady too often to be mistaken. Don't try on that sort of thing with me—I don't take to it kindly. Perhaps a kiss might put you in better humor." B e took a step forward, as though proposing to carry out his threat, but the girl stopped him, her eyes burning with, indignation. "How dare y o u r she exclaimed pas* sibnately;-ail fear leavtog her in sodden resentment. "Yon think me alone hare and helpless; that yon can insult me at your pleasure. Don't go too far, Mr. Hawley. I know what yon are now, and it makes no difference what you may think of me, or call me; you**! find me perfectly able to defend myself." ; "Oh. indeed!" sneertogly, "yon are melodramatic; you should have been an actress instead of a singer. Bat you waste your talent oat here on me. Do yon imagine I fear either you, or your precious brother T Why, I could have him hung to-morrow," She was staring at him with wide open eyes* her face white. "What—what do you mean? has Fred done?" He was cold and sarcastic "That makes no difference what I could induce men to be had done. It's easy enough to convict in this country, if you only know how. I simply tell yon this, so you won't press me too hard. Puritanism is out of place west of tba Missoari especially among ladles of your profession..

"While I believed your brother story, I could have played the good Samaritan most beautifully, but after I talked with Willoughby I prefer him at a distance." "My brother story! Do you mean to insinuate you doubt his being my brother? He told you that?" "He gave up the whole trick, You can't trust a kid like that, Christie. A couple of drinks will loosen his tongue, and put you in wrong. Come, now, 1 know it all; be reasonable." Apparently the girl had lost her power of speech, staring blindly at the lace of the man before her, as a bird meets the -slow approach of a snake. Keith could see her lips move, but making no sound. Hawley evidently interpreted her silence as hesitation, doubt as to^his real meaning. "You see where you are at now, ChriBtle," he went on swiftly. "But you don't need to be afraid. I'm going to be a friend to you, and you can be mighty glad you got rid of Willoughy so easily. Why, I can buy you diamonds where he couldn't give you a calico dress.

He reached out and actually grasped her, but in some manner, she tore loose, and sprang back around the end of the table, her cheeks flushed, her eyes burning. "Don't touch met don't dare touch mei" she panted. T o n lie; Fred Willoughby never told you that If you come one step nearer, n i s c r e a m ; I'll call your men hare; I'll tell them the k)nd of a our' you are.** v He laughed, leaning over toward her, yet hesitating, his eyes full of admiration Her very fierceness appealed to him, urged him on. "Oh, I wouldn't! In the first place they probably wouldn't hear, for they are camped down In the corriL I suspected you might be something of a tigress, and preferred to fight it out with you alone.

' A few red ooais glowed dully m the ftreelaca, but an else was dense bJaeknees. Keith beard the movements of Hawley, as he felt his way uncertainly along the table, Then, like a shadow, he glided through the partly open door into the room. CHAPTER XI. The Flgnt in the Dark. Had the room been filled with men Keith could have restrained himself no longer. Whatever her past might be, thiB woman appeated to him strangely; he could not believe—evil of her; he would have died if need be in her defense. But as It was, the ugly boast of Hawley gave confidence in the,final outcome of this struggle in the dark, even a possibility of escape for them all. The gambler, assured of being confronted merely by a frail and not overscrupulous woman, had ventured there alone; had stationed bis men beyond sound; had doubtless instructed them to ignore any noise of struggle which they might overhear within. It was these very arrangements for evil which now afforded opportunity, and Keith crept forward, alert and ready, his teeth clenched, his hands bare for contest. Even although he surprised bis antagonist, it was going to be a fight for life; be knew "Black Bart," broad-shouldered, quick as a cat, accustomed to every form of physical exercise, desperate and tricky, using either knife or gun recklessly. Yet it was now or never for all of them, and the plainsman felt no mercy, experienced no reluctance. He reached the table, and straightened up, silent, expectant For an instant there was no further sound; no evidence of movement in the room. Hawley, pussled by the silence, was listening intently in an endeavor to thus locate the girl through some rustling, some slight motion. A knife, knocked from the table, perhaps, as Bhe slipped aoftly past, fell clattering to the floor, and the gambler leaped instantly forward. Keith's grip closed like iron on his groping arm, while be shot one fist out toward where the man's head should be. The Wow glanced, yet drove the fellow backward, stumbling against the table, and Keith closed in, grappling for the throat. The other, startled by the unexpected attack, and scarcely realizing even yet the nature of his antagonist, struggled blindly to escape the fingers clawing at him, and flung one hand down to the knife In his belt. Warned by the movement, the assailant drove his bead into the gambler's chest, sending him crashing to the floor, falling himself heavily upon the prostrate body. Hawley gave utterance to one cry, half throttled in -bia throat, and then the two grappled fiercely, so interlocked together as to make weapons useless. Whoever the assailant might be, the gambler was fully aware by now that he was being crushed in the grasp of a fighting man, and exerted every wrestler's trick, every ounce of strength, to break free. Twice he struggled to his knees, only to be crowded backward by relentless power; once he hurled Keith sideways, but the plainsman's muscles stiffened into steel, and he gradually regained his position. Neither dared release a grip in order to strike a blow; neither had sufficient breath left with which to utter a sound. They were fighting for life, silently, desperately, like wild beasts, with no thought but to injure the other. The gambler's teeth sank into Keith's arm, and the latter in return jammed the man's head back onto the puncheon floor viciously. Perspiration streamed from their bodies, their fingers clutchihg, 4heir limbs wrapped together, their muscles strained to the utmost Keith had forgotten the girl, the negro, everything, doinlaated by the one passion to conquer. He was swept by a storm of hatred, a desire to kitk In their fierce struggle the two had rolled close to the fire place, and in the dull glow of the dying embers, be could perceive a faint outline of the man's face. The sight added flame to bis mad passion, yet he could do nothing except to cling to him, jabbing his fingers into the straining throat The negro ended the affair in his own way, clawing blindly at the combatants in the darkness, and finally, determining which was the enemy, he struck the gambler with the stock of his gun, laying him out unconscious. Keith, grasping the table, hauled himself to his feet, gasping for breath, certain only that Hawley was ~no longer struggling. For an instant all was blank, a mist of black vapor; then a realization of their situation came back in sudden flood of remembrance. Even yet he could see nothing, but felt the motionless figure at his feet "Quick," he urged, the instant he could make himself speak. "The fellow Is only stunned; we must tie and gag him. Ie that you, Nob? Where is the girl?" "I am here, Captain Keith," and he heard the soft rustle of her dress across the room. "What is it I may do?" -*A coll of rope, or some straps, with a piece of cloth; anything you can lay bands on." She was some moments at i t confused by the darkness, and Hawley moved slightly, his labored breathing growing plainly perceptible. Keith heard her groping toward him* and held out his hands. She started as he thus unexpectedly touched her, yet made no effort to break away. "You—you frightened m e a little," she confessed. "This baa all happened so quickly I hardly realise yet Just what has occurred." (TO BE CONTINUBD.) ©new rreADiLY WORSE. * Cblossa Wos-ian Experiences ttirribte Suffering from Kidney Trouble.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, T h u r s d a y , S e p t e m b e r 21, 1911 No. 38 <, Broadway Tailoring Brought Into . Every Yon may may live a thousand miles from the debonair splendor of Broadway or Michigan Boulevard. Yet right in thievery store, right in your own shopping district—there's a Royal Tailoring Department, waiting to link to your wardrobe the needlework and craftsmanship of a master New York or Chicago tailor. Here, in this store, the cream of the richest and rarest Fall woolens to be found in the most exclusive bigcity tailor shops are on display—ready for your delectation and choice. Hera you can select a design of suit or overcoat, to be built to your individual body requirements and body'dictates, that would be authentic and complementing in any gathering of well dressed men. Because this service is 5,000 stores instead of one—because its cost is shared by a nation of buyers instead of a single tailor's small community-—it gives to you Die best in tailoring at often fl A t F the small taiior Vpricel; and NO MORE, at any time, than the price of "taken-off-theshelf' store clothes, But more than this—Royal Service is a Service of certainties. It makes satisfaction in clothes-buying a surety to you—not a hazard. The Royal Tailors Represented By W. BARNARD Pinckney, Mich. r. W. "WHY BETTER?" Because of the Laurel Two / Flue Construction.

Areon Octopus StreftcKes Tentacles Afar 32 HE remarkable death in Jersey City of a "firebug" who wa8 killed through his own clumsiness while setting Are to a building which he had been hired to burn down has not often been surpassed as an example of prompt retributive , justice. "Hoist with' his own petard" is such a •worn old phrase that one hesitates to use ft now, but Frank Walsh, burglar and incendiary, must have felt just that way when the can of gasoline which he brought with him to ignite the office of the Long Dock Milling company suddenly exploded and •wrapped him in deadly flames. His agonized yells brought help sufficient to save the building but not to save Ms life. He had been hired for $10 to do the job in order to cover up fraudulent entries in the cashier's books, but he dropped his cigarette in the gasoline can and thus "dumped the fat In the Are" with a vengeance. But however dramatic the fate of cltmsy Walsh and the consequent exposure of his accomplices may be by themselves, they have a deeper significance when viewed in the light of the recent discovery that there exists a cenntry-wlde arson trust, with headquarters in Chicago and representatives in nearly all the large cities, the members of which make a business of setting fire to buildings skillfully, in order to enable the owners to collect large sums of insurance. Murder as a fine art. the scientific management of arson, together with the proper strategy and conduct of private warfare, are subjects perhaps better understood in Chicago than anywhere else in the world. Lest any of her great sister cities should feel envious of Chicago, let it be admitted that Berlin and Vienna also have their fire gangs, Paris exhibits a pretty taste in Apaches, New York fosters Paul Kelly associations, Madrid has Its garroters and Canton its highbinders. Yet the following tale shows that the Chicago savans have applied business principles to crime In a manner far excelling the coarse efforts of their rivals: On the fourth floor of No. 232 South Market street, in the.Windy City, was situated the goodly clothing establishment of L. Dreyfus & CO., wholesalers. It was operated by the brothers Leopold and Lazard Dreyfus, who had apparently an extensive city trade. The brothers were extremely liberal buyers of clothing stocks, and the store way visited by swarms of customers. Gossip had it that more goods were carte* hi than could ever 1» disposed offend that many of the customers, so called, carried away fictitious bills of sale. /n the spring of this year a set of private Investigators began to pry into the; affairs of Dreyfus & Co. Inquiry at pun's and Bradstreet's brought out tb* fact that the firm owed its creditors #85»000. An expert who visited the store In the guise of a retailer judged that goods valued at $20,000 lay on*Its shelves and counters. The Insurance carried totaled $28,000, divided among eleven companies, including *he United States Fixe, of New York. As the result of further snooping iirourid among the clothing trade It was also discovered that Dreyfus ft Co. were slow pay, and the manufacturers who sold them goods were pressing for settlement. This confidential information was carried by secret agents to a certain Slav saloonkeeper in the poorer quarters of the town. A glass or two of slivowitz was drunk, there was much conferring and nodding together of heads in the back room of the bar, and finally the saloonkeeper said: "Send Jacob to see Leopold Dreyfus!" Jacob was the praBnomen of this go-between, who -was believed by his. family and friends to be a solicitor of fire insurance. And who could doubt the appearance borne out by the policies and stacks of papers that he carried, his familiarity with rates and his glib line of talk that indicated long experience in the business? It was thus that be approached the elder Dreyfus, remarking on the large stock of goods and saying, "Let me write you an additional policy of $10,000." "I'm carrying every cent the companies will allow me to," replied the merchant. "But insurance is good. In these times"—the visitor batted his left eye just a trifle—"you can-nev_er_tell what will happen—a fire, for instance, with total loss. In that case the $28,000 you carry now would be too little " "Look here!" said the merchant, suddenly. "I don't believe you are an insurance man at all. What do you want?" "Very well, Mr. Dreyfus, very well. Let's get down to business. If your place should burn you would get tin $28,000, eh? You owe more than that, it is true, but you needn't go into bankruptcy, When you have collected the $28,000 all you need to do is to make a compromise with your creditors and you can retain the larger part of the money for yourself. Yes, a fire would be quite timely just now, and you know as well as I do that Insurance companies are in the business to pay losses " "What! You come here and tell me to set my place on fire?" answered the clothing dealer. "Not a bit of It," said Jacob. "It Isn't done that way. You can go out of town while the Job is being pulled off. Mr. Dreyfus," and he looked the merchant squarely in the eye, "I will take all the responsibility and do the Job for $5,000." Jacob saved himself from being put out of the office by a hasty exit. He Immediately reported lack of progress to the saloonkeeper. The latter had a mail order department as a branch of his secret business. Among the confidential letters mailed to merchants by the chief of the arson industry went several to the head of the Dreyfus firm; and meanwhile the difficulties of that establishment were increasing. Creditors threatened suits and unsatisfied judgments meant bankruptcy. The arson crowd kept tabs on every move, whether of the brothers o^ of their angry creditors. Finally, at this oorrett moment, Jacob called Leopold Dreyfus on the telephone and made an appointment to renew the dicker. He met the merchant In his office and made the following bargain offer: "I'll burn the whole place—every suit of clothing, every article in it— no talvage—for $2,000. You must pay me $300 down and contract to pay the balance of $1,700 as soon as the insurance money is collected. Those are positively our lowest term,. Take 'en ur Jeave 'em." "How about the risk?" "There will be no risk. To aveii suspicion you must take me in as ar employe. You yourself can be as fat away from Chicago as you like!" With that Jacob produced his arsoc contract, an extraordinary document which assigned to the saloonkeepei $1,700 of the total insurance on th< Dreyfus place. The merchant fell IE with the plan. He signed the agree raent to pay the saloonkeeper In the event of a fire, and handed Jacob the $300 earnest money. The Ingenious conspirator was put on the employes roll and intrusted with the door kej to lock up the store at night and open it in the morning. On the Saturday half-holiday ol June 3 Jacobs admitted himself to the store after hours and opened six fivegallon cans of gasoline which had been sent there concealed In the innocent- looking shipping case*, used by the firm. Starting at one end of the shop, he poured the oil in a stream that meandered the length of the floor, with the partially emptied cans distributed at strategic points among the piles of stock. At right-angles to the stream he stretched a half-hour time fuse, lighted with a match the end farthest frotp the oil, and, locking the door behind, quietly went on his --way. - - ' —' In all these operations Jacob had applied with his best skill the principles of scientific management adopted by the arson trust. The telltale excelsior Bhavings and give-away kerosene soaked paper have long since been discarded by the Chicago savants In favor of the quick, sharp, successive explosions of gasoline, which destroy the exploding cans and the stock of merchandise almost simultaneously. Not only is the evidence burned up, put the firemen and salvage corps have nb chance to save any of the stock of goods, which salvage would reduce the amount of the Insurance paid. But on this occasion something or other went amiss. The fire fighters, arriving quickly, scented the odor of gasoline. After the fire was put out and an investigation made, an unexploded can of gasoline was found back in a corner. Michael F. Sullivan, the fire attorney of the city, sent for the brothers Dreyfus. Leopold had spent the day of the fire at Gray's Lake, a resort fifty miles distant, but Lazard had worked in the store that same Saturday morning. After more than six hours of sharp examination by the fire attorney and the police Leopold Dreyfus broke down and confessed that he hired "Jacob arid the saloonkeeper to destroy the store.' He told the story of it substantially as given above. He Implicated many others in a wide network of conspiracy that startled even the detectives by the astounding revelation of a systematic, scientific arson trust. Through the further confessions of the elder Dreyfus it was hoped to expose the whole crooked league of dishonest merchants and paid setters of fire, a league, it is .said, that has caused at least a fifth (more than 700) of all the Chicago fires in the last decade, that has extended its operations from New York to Portland, Ore,, and that has reaped a yearly profit of $750,000 for the saloonkeeper who is its head. Leopold Dreyfus, however, killed himself next morning in his Michigan avenue home, whither a police detective had taken him at his own request to see his wife and children before going to the police court. The discovery of his arson and the tangle of his financial affairs bad driven him practically insane. The saloonkeeper and Jacob vanished. High Cost of Living In Japan. According to an article in Osaka Asahi, prices have gone up in Japan over twofold in the last twenty years, while the purchasing value of the cur* rency has sensibly declined. Taking the average rate of prices in Janu* ary, 1887, at 100 and the value of the currency, at the same time at 100, the rate of prices in 1910 would be 228 and the value of currency 43, accord* leg to a table published by the Bank of Japan. Another table published by the same banks shows that the advance in the prices of imported goods has been comparatively small, while the rise in the price of goods produced for the home market and for export has been greater. Compared with the advance in prices in other conntries the Japanese rate of advance has been about 2 per cent greater than that In London and New York.

We put a strap through each end of a strong stick and buckled this around the cow's leg Just before milking. DAIRY RECORDS ARE USEFUL They Serve as Tab on Milkers and Make Excellent Barometer of Cow's Condition. (By J. BAILEY BKUCE.) Accurate records of eacn cow's milk yield enables us to weed out the herd and retain only the money-makers. They serve as a tab on the milkers. If the cows are not milked clean the fact is discovered. Poor milking by hired help is discouraged and the drying off from imperfect milking reduced to a minimum. The cow's daily record is an excellent barometer of her physical condition. ^Derangements are more quickly discovered and checked and better methods of feeding are encouraged. Both owners and help are stimulated to increase the product and it educates them In the matter of dairy economy. They induce better business in the management of the business. A place where business methods have been too long ignored. They serve as an excellent guide in selecting heifers that are to be raised to replace the cows we annually discard from the herd. VALUE OF PURE-BRED SIRES CONVENIENT TRUCK IN BARN Easy of Construction and W i l f tessen Dairyman's Labors to a Considerable Extent, No dairyman can afford to ignore that which will lighten his labor in any way whatever. Be his stable ever so conveniently constructed, he has A Convenient Barn Truck. enough to do. Hence the importance of his considering the truck or car presented In the cut, for which we are indebted to an exchange.

This is the time of year when the dairyman or dairy farmer who owns a silo likes to talk about silage. Good silage comes as near being June pas* ture in January as any feed with which the dairyman is familiar. Its succulent or juicy nature especially fits It for stimulating the milk flow and keeping the cow in vigorous health. Probably the most Important rule in the profitable dairy is* to keep the cow's milk flowing as freely as possible after the flow has once been started by parturition or calf-birth. To do this demands right feeding and good care. Silage is also necessary to right feeding Silage is a cheap feed to cut up and valuable to use. It is grown on the farm, this fact is of Importance in this day of high-priced mill feeds. Clean Milk. A maker of certified milk, and head of a company which owns 800 cows, kept for this purpose at a sanitary milk producing plant, asserts that every dairyman can get clean milk In any barn if he takes proper care. This statement should prove Interesting to those who lay so much stress on changes in the barn equipment, rather than upon the one all important item of care. A Valuable Cow. At the cattle sale of H.

The value of a good -bull in. the dairy herd is something that dairy farmers are now giving more attention to. Prof. E. H. Fraser of the Illinois experiment station has made this feature of farm dairying a study, and explainw its benefits in this way: "If, for example, the good pure-bred sire in> proves theinilking capacity of his daughters by only one and one-bait pounds of milk at a milking, above the' production of their dams, this would: mean an increase of 900 pounds of mlik for the len months or 300 days during which the ordinary cows should give milk; they would also be much more persistent milkers; that is. would: give milk for a longer time in the year/ and would regain their flow of milk better after an unavoidable shortage of feed as in a summer drought. Such 'daughters may certainly be credited on the average with 1,000 pounds more milk per year than their dams pro duced. At the low estimate of one dol lar per 100 pounds this extra amount, of milk would be worth J10 per year The average cow is a good producer for at least six years, or until she gets eight years old. Each daughter having a pure-bred sire will, therefore, earc $60 more money in her lifetime be cause of the good qualities of her sire It will on the average be four years after purchasing the sire before his first daughters will have finished theli first lactation period and brought it the first extra $10. Eight dollars and twenty-three cents kept at compound Interest for these four years at five per cent, will equal $10, so a daugh ter's improvement or increase of in come the first year is worth $8.23 at the time her sire Is purchased.". JERSEY COW'S GOOD RECORD Pedro's Estella, Bred by Missouri Agricultural College, Produces Much Butter. (By C. H. ECKLES.) This Jersey oow, Pedro's Estella 197245, as bred by the Missouri Agricultural college. Her record for Pedro's Estella. 12 months as a three-year-old is as follows: Milk, 11,0*58 pounds; fat in milk, 605 pounds. The average per cent, of fat for the entire year was 5.476 pounds. Com' puting the yield of butter on basis_ol 85 per cent, according to the rule ot the Jersey Cattle club, this cow produced 712.12 pounds of butter in the 12 months. Her weight was 880 pounds at the beginning of the test and increased tc 960 pounds at the end of 'the year. The best previous authentical year's record for an animal of this age is 518 pounds fat, which is exceeded 87? pounds by the record of Pedro's Estella. The average amount of grain fed per day was r out fourteen pounds, or a total of 5,110 pounds during the year, which consisted mostly of corn, oats, bran and oil meal. Green Food for Cows. As in the case of cows, swine also should be fed plenty of green food in order to keep their digestive tracts in the best condition. They should be supplied with plenty of pure, cold water and an abundance of -shade and sanitary wallowing place. Milk clean, but do not "tug" to keep up the milk flow. Never forget the'importance of cooling milk in a clean place. Dairying is one of the profitable lines in which a farmer can engage. Churning is soon out of the way when the cream is in proper condition. Notice the cream once or twice the flrat ten minutes after starting the churn. To do good work the cream separator must be level and on a good solid foundation. Stop the churn as soon as the butter granulates if you want to work out all the buttermilk. Veal calves in hot weather will grow better if kept during the day in a dark, cool stable. Some dairymen make it a practice to give some mild purgative to cows at the time of parturition. A bull tied in the stall will get laty and useless, besides , making , extra work in his care and feed. If you have not a good cellar, nor ice, nor cold water, making good butter in hot weather1 if out of the question, • •*• .,•-. i •.. .•-/""' The cream separator, the alio-and the manure spreader should find a plaee in the equipment of every dairy tatm.

Mangolds on Agricultural College Farm—Roots Help Maintain Health and Vigor of Herbs During Winter. The prevailing opinion that root crops are difficult to harvest, involving much hard manual labor, has prevented many from growing them. Modern tools and methods have afforded much relief in such harvesting operations. Turnips- and rutabagas can be topped readily with a sharp hoe while still in the ground and the roots tipped out with the plow later. If the topB from each pair of adjoining rows are left In the space b e tween it is an easy matter to gather and haul them off the ground for feeding if so desired. To plow turnips or rutabages out select a plow with a narrow share,'nine inches preferred, remove the coulter or jointer and set the draft over to one side so that the plow will cut a V-shaped furrow. Then with one man to drive a second man can so hold the plow as to trim off the top roots and overturn the roots without burying them with earth. If burled somewhat, harrowing will expose all the roots. Exposure to the sun for a few hours or even a alight frost during the night makes the eartfcjjrop readily from the roots when bumped together just before being thrown into the wagon. Short, thick-bodied roots such as the golden tankard mangold or giant feeding beet may be uprooted by dragging an inverted harrow both ways across the rows after which the tops, can be twisted off by hand before the beets are loaded in the wagon. The extremely large, long, crooked varieties such as the mangold wursej cgnnjol be. harvested in this way without some damage from breaking, which interferes with their keeping qualities. These sorts should be pulled and the tops twisted off by hand, In the case of a few rows of carrots grown for horse feeding the following method may be followed If a beet lifter Is not, available. Run a deep narrow furrow cloae along the .row of carrots, exposing their surfaces, then lift by hand and place in piles for topping. The same will apply, to the harvesting of sugar beets for feeding purposes, but a beet lifter should be procured if they are, grown to any great extent. These remarks are Intended to apply tt> the average fanner's conditions where a few roots are grown for feeding purposes and where the small areas devoted to this work will ENGLAND R E M FOR WAR British Preparations Reflect Seriousness Of 'Mbroecart Situation.

The army and navy i» held at its highest degree of efficiency. England is prepared for any eventuality. Startling precautions are being taken at Sheemess. Mounted armed guards are stationed at all the approaches and everyone seeking admission is challenged. The barricades recently erected around the two searchlights east of the Ravelin batteries are closed night and day despite the protests of the urban district council. The steel observation tower further east, which commands extensive views of the North sea, has been strongly barricaded and at night is guarded by Infantry with fixed bayonets and ball cartridges.

Eetctwh AwJsttst la CbssiiMiy, MicMctt ExpsriSMnt Stttkx Stable litter has four chief uses in tl»e preservation of manure. First, it absorbs the liquid manure and pre* Tests its draining away; second, it absorbs ammonia, one of the most /valuable constituents of manure; [third, it makes manure easier to han- . die, and fourth, it acts as a deodorizer and makes the presence of manure leas objectionable. <rbe first-two of these functions are exceedingly important from a financial point of view. Tn the manure formed by horses, sheep and cows practically 65 per cent of / t h e nitrogen and 80.per cent of the $ .potash art found i%tte-ll^fltd .manure. Most of this Is dlrfctly available for : plant food, while a considerable part < of that in the solid manure is not ; available for immediate ^utjpr.^ Far ;these reasons more attention anoukl , be paid to the consefratltth of the , liquid portion of the manure than Is • cujjtc^itaryj. in common farm practice. As ts weU known/ammonia is very valuable for fertilising purposes and is by no means the least expensive | fertilising material on the market The strong odor of ammonia noticeable m the vicinity of any ordinary _ manure pfle is sufficient indication . that It is there in large quantities and Is escaping into the air to be a ; complete loss to the farmer. The jfjrits* rocnUtte for a good litter, than, is that ft shall have strong absorbent 1 powers for both liquids and gases. In addition it must be cheap, easy to \ obtain and •convenient to handle. The y \mett 4ommMi iitbtt m ef'courss, straw, which, however, fulfills very poorly tte rwQttirenssBbi stfYaa above " a goosT BraMe mtsr. It U a poor ftHr af thar liquid ssaanre of not warrant investment in expensive special machinery. Storing Root Crops. The most satisfactory and permanent results in storing root crops are to be secured from a cellar built in an excavation adjacent to or as a part of a basement barn, the object being to get below Aground for security against frost and the maintenance of uniformly low temperature. A space partitioned off in the basement bam with light walls makes as satisfactory an arrangement as any; if this is not done the warm, moist air from the stables will prevent the roots from keeping well. Root houses built in excavations in banks some distance from the stock barns are not' so satisfactory because of the extra labor involved in conveying the roots to the stock, particularly in times of mud and snow. c Pitting may al: J be resorted to, but is not so satisfac ury as a cellar. Under such condit ons the continuous use of roots for leeding is interfered with during the extremely cold spells as some days the pit would have to remain closed to prevent the access of frost. In constructing a pit, a high, well drained piece of ground should be chosen. The roots should be piled In long piles, the bottom of the pile abour four or five feet wide, with the sides sloping upward, to meet at a point four feet above the center of the pile; the length of the pit can be governed by the conditions. As soon as roots are piled cover them with a layer of about three inches of straw, free from chaff; then cover the straw with earth taken up from near the edges of the pit in such a way as to form a ditch around the same for drainage. Early in the season not more than an Inch or two of earth should be placed on the straw; but later, as cold weather approaches, double the amount of earth, and prevent freezing In future by coverings of manure, used in such quantity as the severity of the weather may require. Where the conditions are extreme, or for potatoes, a double covering may be used as follows: First cover with straw and then with a thin layer of earth, which Is allowed to freeze, then follow with another layer of straw and more earth. In this method a dead air space is maintained and the roots or potatoes Inclosed are not effected by fluctuations in temperature from without. In extreme weather a manure covering would be needed as in the first case. ammonia and has no value as a deodorizer or disinfectant. It has some little value In making the manure easier to handle, but when one remembers' that the solid portion contains less than one-third of the plant food this one advantage assumes minor importance. : A material which answer*, moretfully all of the above-mentioned specifications is raw muck; or peat ana, where it is available, is by far the best material for the purpose. In W&P&& QtthsjB^^K.cali be readily obtained and many farms have mpre or less of it which Is considered waste land by the owners. Ordinarily as it comes from the bog, It Is mostly water, one hundred pounds of the wet material containing worn fifty to ninety pounds of moisture, though in dry seasons this may be considerably diminished. By shoveling over, on dry ground, and exposing to the action of the wind and sun this amount may be reduced to ten or fifteen pounds. The dry material can then be hauled .to the barn and stored under some sort of shed for use as required.' In this air-dry condition it has extremely high absorbent powers and can take up many times its weight of liquid and large quantities of gaseous material thus drying the manure and making it pulverulent and easier to handle. In addition to these qualities peat itself has more or less value as a fertiliser on account of Its nitrogen con tent. Though the total amount of nitre gen present in peat is considerable, that part which is immediately avail able for plant use is gutte small. Experiments which have been conducted at the Michigan experiment station and elsewhere seem to Indicate that mixing with manure brings about some change whereby a greater per tion of this nitrogea is made dlrecUj available. Peat is also valuable foi the nanus or oxgnale matter wars* ft supplies to the aoil and this gives it •aether advantage L I V E STOCK.

Good growing stock of any kind that Is selling below the cost of production is 'always a safe investment, if the purchaser is prepared to take good care of It. He who buys and develops such stock is almost certain to make a good profit In doing so, because production will not long continue at a loss, while consumption of staples must go on steadily. Not many others are buying such stock, or else it would not be selling so cheaply, 'and it follows logically and consistently that when it ]ias been "grown and finished for market", there will then be a comparative scarcity of such finished slock and such good prices will be realized for it that a handsome profit will result from the deal. This reasoning is self-evident, and applies with especial emphasis to the present situation Jn feeder sheep and lambB. Last year's conditions are now reversed. Then nearly everybody was crazy to feed sheep and lambs, and an immense number were sold and shipped to the country at about the highest prices on record. This together with an enormous corn crop of high feeding value, a world of perfectly cured-roughage- and a. splendid winter feeding season were factors that combined to produce a heavy supply of fat sheep and lambs for market during the early part of this year, while retailers of meats held up prices to consumers, so that consumption was limited, with the natural and logical result of low prices and feeders' losses ^n most instances. In consequence of last year's unprofitable experience and present scarcity of grass and hay, most farmers and many professional feeders of sheep and lambs are now avoiding the market, and very few are being shipped to the country, while prices are the lowest since 1904. In fact, feeder sheep and lambs are selling on the market today for less than the cost of production. These facts mean that early next year there will be a scarcity of fat sheep and lambs at market, and comparatively high prices will prevail. Those who have the nerve to go contrary to the crowd and invest in good, thin but thrifty feeder sheep and lambs at the present low price, will have no cause to regret their enterprising independence when they come to market them in finished condition. The concensus of opinion of the best minds in the trade is that since both prices for feeding stock and prospects for fat stock"'are much better than they were last year, therefore the opportunities for profit are correspondingly better. In fact, the whole situation is the reverse of last year. Now Is the time to buy, because range conditions are such that moBt of the sheep and lambs will come to market from the range regions ready for"slaughter, while fewer of the feeder classes will be marketed during the remainder of this year, and the supply will not equal the probable Fall demand, so that prices are likely to be materially higher in October and November. Left Him Far Behind. Chi.dish standards of greatness are interesting—perhaps because they are at once so like yet so unlike the standards of grown folk.

But why only see that their stock of clothes is complete? Clothes do not make the man. i t is far more important to see that both mind and body are in t h e best condition possible for development. Many a child is forced backward toward the foot of the class because of some minor ailment which might be easily corrected by proper treatment. Do not neglect a child because he seems stupid. Then is the time that h e need* attention. Any child who is weak or does not learn easily should be taken to a competent physician who.can of ten find defects in ihe child, the correction of which will make the c h i l l strong and robust both mentally and physciaily. Our cities are fast coming to a realization of the fact that many of the children are backward, nut because of lack of brains, but because their defective bodies d o not supply the brain with enough gocd rich blood to develop properly. They hire reputable physicians whose duty is to examine these children carefully, aud if any defect is fouud, to take steps to have it removed. if a child is unable to see properly it cannot be expected to learn ils lessons. The concentration and application necessary to accomplish this is impossible. And yet one third of the school children are found to suffer from defective vision in various degrees. This is a condition which is easily remedied in the majority of cases by proper treatment. #-- One of the common causes of backward children are adenoids and tonsils. These are lymphatic growths in t h e throat which fill up the upper part of the throat and>ender breathing through the nose difficult or impossible. Such & child has a characterisitc facial expression and is known as a mouth breather. Not only iB the face affected but backwardness in the entire system is also caused. These are ( readily removed by a slight surgical operation. See that the child receives plenty of fresh air arid exercise. Tfie body needs plenty of systematic exercise in t h e open air. A healthy body and a healthy bmin go hand in hand and one seldom finds one without the other. See that the childa study and sleeping rooms are well ventilated so that it will not be poisoned by foul air. A healthy start in life means health, wealth and happiness in later years. See that the child lacks none of the opportunities for this developement. If the child is frail or doerhot learn readily look for a cause. There are many minor ailments and defects the correction of which may be the turning point in the life of your child. The best is none to good for him. See •hat no stonejs^ left unturned in bringing the child to a healthy mliturity a n d you will be astonished at the results. Robert L. Dixon, M. D . , Sec'y. Mich.

After losing a great number of hogs we decided It was time to study up on the matter, writes J. (x. Carey in Farm Press. The animals that died were all afflicted with swollen joints, and after a little investigation it became plain that this disease was due to the neighborhood habit of keeping the hogs connned in small and exceedingly dirty pens. Hogs are naturally of a roving dis position. If kept in a small pen they do not get sufficient exercise. We all know how a hog kept in too close quarters constantly roots and tears up the ground, and then Just a little bit of rain makes the ground muddy; and when the ground in a small pen is once muddy, muddy it will stay for a long time. And the hog that i s kept in a muddy pen is apt to get the swollen Joint disease sooner or later. We have found a cure for this disease which we employ wherever a case appears, and we wish others to know of this cure in%case their stock should be afflicted with the malady. First remove the animal or animals from their muddy pen to a dry one. Examination will show that the pores of the hogs will have become completely closed with the mud accumulated in the old pen. To one-half pint of lye soap add two quarts of lukewarm water. Make a good suds and wash the joints of the swine at least twice a day till the swelling begins to leave the joint. Each time after washing the Joint use a teaspoonful of baking soda and a little blue vitriol, well mixed, to rub the teg with thoroughly. This treatment has been known to effect a cure in one week, but It does not always act so rapidly. After the disease has been eradicated the condition of the living quarters should be looked into, or, more properly speaking, bad condition* should be corrected first of all, a step toward which was taken when the swine were removed from the muddy pen to a clean one. The pen or pasture, besides being clean, should be sufficiently large to give the animals plenty of room for exercise. The feeding^^-^ hxmld^e_aJtlejideiLJp_with_cai»- Do not let too many of the animals congregate at feeding time, HH they will d o if all are kept in one pen. Feed them in relays of ten. Sour slop should never be given, but plenty of pure water^should be in easy access in clean troughs^ The feeding lot should be kept as clean as possiWte-" In rainy weather the feeding should, be done on plank or cement feeding floors, cleaned before each feeding. Sleeping quarters should be kept as clean and dry as possible and the bedding often renewed, using grass or clean wheat straw for this purpose. Cleanliness, in short is the chief ingredient in the cure, and 1t is a certain preventive of the disease if maintained from the beginning.

During the remainder of the summer pigs that are not far enough advanced to catch an early fall market by any possibility will largely be made to forage for themselves in pastures, meadows and stubble fields. After a pig reaches a weight of fifty pounds there i s no great danger of fatal results from worms, which cause great mortality among smaller pigs when forced to rustle for themselves. Pigs can be kept cheaply with light feeding and grazing, but they should have enough grain to maintain health and steady growth. All the profits of pasturing pigs are wiped out if the grass or the watte In fields of small grain is made the sole feed. Figs may lire and not gain a pound In weeks, and their board la a dead expense during all that time.

They say sometimes there's flghttn',' and Oi'm skeert ov yer gittin kilt" "Nlver moind, sweetheart, Oi'll take good care o' meself ug'iu yer comtu' over to jine me and we'll be married and live in a nice little shanty and have a pig and a goat and live loike gintle folk." "But they say, i\it, that in America they don't have pifcrs. Anyway, they don't keep 'em In the house. Oi've heard that the pigs is alT knp* together and killed together—sometoimes a mather of tin or a dozen at one klMlnV "That won't mather to us. We'll have one just to remind us of home.

"Well, we'll have a ladder in our shanty just as we'll have the pig. And by that same token we'll have a coo for milk." "But Oi'm told people don't keep cv>os of their own in that country. All the milk is put in a big tub and it's peddled out in wagons." "But we'll have the coo for the same raison we'll have the pig and the ladder, 4o-remoind \v± of ^>ur beautiful islant and the home one couldn't have in it. because we're too poor. Bat in America Oi'll git together the money for the shanty and the pig and the ladder and the coo, and we'll live like flghtin' cocks." So Pat folded the poor girl in his arms, the tears streaming down her cheeks at parting with him. "What's the mather, darlln'?" he said, patting her fondly. "Don't be cryin'. It'll not be long before 1 sind ye the money to come over to me, and be the toinie ye git there Oi'll have-the shanty ready, so ye'll think ye're right here in ould Oirland." "Oh, Pat. Oi'm feared ye won't succeed!" And so 'they parted, Pat with no more money in his pocket than to take him in the steeruge across the ocean. The pair were too1 simple and uneducated to have formed any idea of America. Their dream of a home there was such as they might have at home had they the means to establish it, where the pig and the cow and themselves might all live together in domestic harmony. Since Tat could not write, his let' ters from the new country, written by a friend, were of the simplest character. He realized that even if he could write his own letters he would never be_ahlfi tQ_consey—to Eileen^simple mind the real America. He was too wise to attempt It. At first his letters began in the usual way with his class: I take my pen In hand to write you a few lines to Bay that I'm In <?ood health, thanks be to Ood, hoping that you aro the same at the present time. Then followed hopes that the crops would be abundant and that different members of the family were welL One poor speller who indited a letter for Pat wrote, "This letter comes hopping that you are well as I am, thanks be to God!" "What's that?" said Eileen. "It comes hoppln'? Oi thacht it come by a ship." Pat remained several years in America before he sent for Eileen. When he got a start he wrote. "Darllnt, Oi'm buildin* the shanty." When he made some money he wrote, "Oi've bought the pig." Then the cow followed, his shanty was ready and Pat was ready to send the passage money that was to bring his sweetheart to him in America. Before starting Eileen wrote that she wished he could bring the shanty and the pig and the cow to Irelahd but she supposed that if he could he wouldn't be able to make the money necessary to keep up the establishment So she made her preparation to join him. Pat knew the day she sailed and the day the steamer was due in New York- He wrote her that she would arrive on a holiday tbey kept in America called Labor day. He would be busy on that day. and be would send his friend, Mike Fogarty, to the steamer to meet her and bring her to where he was working. Eileen thought Pat must be very industrious to work on a holiday, end she was glad and proud of him. When the ship came up to the dock Eileen saw a man on It looking as tf be might be Fogarty. and he was. "Pat tould me," he said, "to take ye where he's workin'. and 1 wilL" He led Eileen to a street where great crowds were waiting for something to happen. Then came a band of music and men with sashes and scarfs on caracoling horses.

Swimming Is the one outdoor exercise in which woman frequently excels man. The water 1B her heritage, but only In the last decade has she taken possession, says the New York Evening World. Plump little Rose Pltonof, who covered the distance between East Twenty-sixth street, Man* hattan, and Coney Island In eight hours and seven minutes, Is one of a growing band of graceful, facile water maidens. By virtue of physlral perfection and stamina Annette Kellerman, the lithe Australian girl who essayed the English channel, 1B perhaps the header of these. Other noteworthy figures are Elaine Golding, the powerfully built Bath beach champion; Eleanora Sears, the Newport soclty girl; Elsie Thlel, winner of many sprints; Adeline Trapp, a Brooklyn teacher who has conquered Hell Gate; Ethel, Vera and Beatrice Due of Fort Hamilton, who have swum the Narrows and done still more difficult feats; Evelyn Howell, the Flushing school girl; Augusta Galtup and Clara Hurst, survivors In ft race from Brooklyn bridge to Coney Island. Mme. Claire Outtenstein has competed on even terms wfth men_ Parisian*, in crossing the Seine. Mrs. Lena Brandenburg of St Louis swam the five miles from Eads bridge to the Altenheim Just to prove that a woman of sixty is not an old woman. Wby^x>ther things being equal, do women swim better than men? Be1 cause their conformation is well adapted for this exercise.. Because there is usually more adipose tissue under the skin, and this protects the body from invading cold. Because, as Doctor Sargent of Harvard says, "women always are and constitutionallyought to be-rougher than men."

Not Infrequently women of wit direct their shafts against the clubs so beloved and frequented by mankind. In Ralph Nevlll's story of "London Clubs" and their origin and uses are some examples of wit aimed In the opposite direction. The original conception of a London club was a retreat to when West End men might betake themselves, certain that the troubles and worries of the* outside world would not follow them Into a building which they regarded as a temple of dignified seclusion and repose. Perhaps the best description of a club, as i t existed in former days, was 1 ]•>• Rhodes, the president's physician; that "given l)y a witty blsh6p7who~de-r|? LrJarvls-arnh '-JoseFh-Jduxnby-T-offined lf'as a place "where women ceased from troubling and the weary were at'Stst." Another amusing definition was once given by George Augustus Saia.

Monday. For nine and one-half hours he was as busy a man as during any of the days on his great 15,000-mile "swing around the circle." In that time Detroiters and the visitors had several excellent opportunities of seeiag him—when he left the train and went to breakfast, when be rode out Woodward avenue on his way to Pontiac; when he returned and spoke at the state fair-grouiidsrwhenj Sweet; "Grand7" -"Rapids'; he went from the fair grounds to the Wayne Gardens; when he visited the revenue men at Hotel Cadillac, and when he returned to his train. After the special train of six cars had pulled into the station, the presidential party took until 7:15 o'clock to prepare for its entrance to the ^city. Meanwhile the Board of Commerce committee on arrangements, composed^ of Federick Holt, chairman; Milton -A, McRae, president of the-board; Fred M, A Iger,-Waiter—A-. Russel, Mayor William B. Thompson, and Secretary Lucius E. Wilson, welcomed the party. Seven automobiles carried the guests and the committee to the Detroit club, passing up Third avenue to Fort street and east on Fort street to Cass avenue. President Milton A. MoRae had been selected by the Board of Commerce committee as the man who would ride with President Taft and act as official host and guide during the day. In the automobile with these two were MaJ. A. W. Butt and Charles D. Hlllls, the president's secretary; James Sloan, Jr., the one secret service man who will never be separated from Mr, Taft on the long Journey, was on the front seat. In the second machine were Dr. Thomas the secret service, and Wendell W. Mischler, the president's stenographer. .._... All the members of the presidential party and 50 newspaper men from Detroit and other points in the state, were the guests of Milton A. McRae at breakfast at the Detroit club. During and after breakfast, President Taft met the newspaper men informally and was interviewed by them or turned interviewer himself. At C:45 o'clock the police cleared the street and the party boarded two D. U. R. cars for the trip to Pontiac. Pontiac was reached at 10 o'clock. Automobiles were in waiting and the party were given a short ride about the city before the president gave his address. At 11 o'clock the cars left Pontiac for the state fair grounds, which was reached 40 minutes later. A batallion of the First regiment, M, N. G., formed a double line from the Woodward avenue entrance of the fair grounds to the grove, and the president rode between these ranks to the band stand, where he delivered his address of the day and formally opened the fair. Five thousand people were able to obtain seats in the grove. The others had to stand. At the conclusion of the address the members of the reception committee of 100 of the Board of Commerce, were, introduced to tbe executive by Major A. W. Butt. And then came the real parade of the day, the opportunity for almost unlimited thousands at least to get a good look at Mr. Taft, for the entire party rode in automobiles from the fair grounds, down Woodward avenue to Jefferson and west to the Wayne Gardens. About 50 machines were in line. The president's car and those following were filled as on the morning ride to the Detroit club. Then came the committee of 100, newspapermen and others. As the president's car left the fair grounds, it was surrounded by Detroit police department automobiles and motorcycle policemen, the latter in their blue uniforms. On the downtown streets a largety increased traffic squad was required to keep the streets clear, orders having been issued that nobody was to be allowed to get off the curb on the pavement. At Grand Circus park the procession was met by a battalion of mounted police, who led the way to the WOUNDS ARE NOT NECESSARILY FATAL SAY DOCTORS AFTER "FIRST EXAMINATION.

Here the president delivei*sd a ten-minute Address to the convention of the National Association of Internal Revenue Officers. During the procession from the Wayne to the Cadillac hotel and to the Michigan Central depot the president had as an escort of honor nine companies of federal troops, now stationed at Fort Wayne, and the local Boy Scouts of America, led by' the Twenty-sixth Infantry band, which, with Harold Jarvis, furnished the music during the luncheon.

Stolypin was twice shot by a wouldbe aseasin during a gala performance at the opera house in Kiev. Czar Nicholas was in the audience and at first it was feared that his life had been attempted. Stolypin's wounds were first re^ garded as mortal, but physicians who attended him are hopeful that he will recover. They decided not to operate. '" The man who fired the shots is a lawyer named Bogrof. He was sitting directly behind the premier and both bullets took effect. Wild excitement followed the firing. With the first shot the czar dropped out of sight and as a score of secret agents rushed to his box with drawn revolvers the cry went jjp_ihat Ihfi^mperor had been killed. In the Immediate vicinity of the premier, however, it was seen at once who the victim had been. While those nearest him supported him, attempted to aid him and called for physicians, others seized Bogrof, He •was nearly torn to pieces by the mob before rescued, by the police. The czar was hurried out of the theater by a private way and into a carriage, which was driven rapidly to the palace. The audience was finally quieted and before dispersing sang the national anthem. The premier was removed to the The bullets -wounded the pleura and .graced the liver. Real Ruler of Russia. As premier of Russia, Mr. Stolypin is the man who blocked the Russian outbreaks which threatened to effect a revolution and which came to a head during the term of office of Count Witte. His conduct qf his office was attended with drastic and repressive measures that earned him the hatred of the progressive classes and led to repeated attempts upon his life by the revolutionists. The rapid retaliatory steps which he took among the terrorists won him the detestation of the advance4vpar« ties but the support of the existing order and made him the real autocrat of Rusuj, with power exceeding that of the czar himself. "Stolypin's necktie" became, the synonym for the haugman's noose throughout Russia. Trials and persecutions proceeded with great rapidity under his direction and the advent of a more radical form of government was checked.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a border plainsman, Is riding along the Santa Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war parties of savages. He notices a camp lire at, a distance and then sees.a team Attached to a wagon and at full gallop 'pursued by men on ponies. When Keith xeaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victims •• finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait. He resolves to hunt down the murderers.

A -companion in his cell is a negro, who tells him he Is Neb and that he knew the Keith family back In Virginia. Neb aays one of the murdered men was John Sibley, the other Gen. WMto-Waite.' formerly an officer In the Confederate army. The plainsman and Neb escape from the •cell, and later the twe fugitives become lost In the sand desert, They come upon a cabin and find its lone occupant to be a young girl, whom Keith recognizee as a ainger he saw at Carson City. The girl explains that she came there in search of a brother who had deserted from the •army. A Mr. Hawley induced her to •come to the cabin while he sought to locate her. .brother. Hawley appears, and Keith in-rhidmg-TecOglrtzes htm as Black Bart. Hawley tries to make love to the fin. -There is a/ terrific battle in the arkened room m which Keith overcomes Black Bart CHAPTER X!.—(Continued.) "The action has only really begun," he assured her, «viU retaining his hold upon her hand. "This was merely a preliminary skirmish, and you must prepare to bear your part in what followB. We have settled Mr. Hawley lor the present, and now must deal with his gang." -^^Qbr *hat would 1-have done-tf-yotr naciously to an ideal of womanhood which could not be lowered. However interested he might otherwise feel, no Christie Maclaire could ever find entrance Into the deeps of his heart, where dwelt alone the memory of his mother. He found the other horses turned into the corral, and was able, from their reatless movements, to decide they numbered eight A fire, nearly extinguished, glowed dully at the farther corner of the enclosure, and he crawled close enough to distinguish the recumbent forms of men sleeping about it on the ground. Apparently no guard had been set, the fellowB being worn out from their long ride, and confident of safetly in this Isolated spot. Besides, Hawley had probably assumed that duty, and told them to get whatever sleep they could. However, the gate of the corral opened beside their fire, and Keith dare not venture upon roping any of their ponies, or leading them out past where they slept. There might be clippers in the cabin with which he could cut the wires, yet if one of the gang awoke, and discovered the herd absent, it would result in an alarm, and lead to early pursuit. It was far safer to use their own ponies. He would lead Hawley's horse quietly ly any trail, and even that little-would be quickly obliterated by the first puff of wind. As they drew in toward the river valley this plain would change Into sand dunes, baffling and confusing, but no matter how hard tbey pressed forward, it must be daylight long before they could hope to reach these, and this would give him opportunity to spy out some familiar landmark which would guide them to the ford. Meanwhile, he must head as directly north as possible, trusting the horses to find footing. It was plains instinct, or rather long training in the open, which enabled him to retain any true sense of direction, for beyond the narrow fringe of cottonwoods along the stream, nothing was visible, the eyes scarcely able even to distinguish where earth and sky met. They advanced across a bare level, without elevation or depression, yet the sand appeared sufficiently solid, so that their horses were forced into a swinging lope, and they seemed to fairly press aside the black curtain, which as Instantly swung shut once more, and closed them in. The pounding hoofs made little noise, and they pressed steadily onward, closely bunched together, so as not to lose each other, dim, spectral shadows flithad. not been here?" "Let us not think about that; we •were here, and now have a busy night oefore us if we get away safely. Give me the rope first. Good! Here, Nob, you must know how to use this—not too tight, but without leaving any play to the arms; take the knife out of his fceK. Now for the cloth, Miss Maclaire." , "Please do not call me that!" ' "But you said it didn't make any difference what I called you." "I thought It didn't then, but it does now." "Oh, I see; we are already on a new footing. Yet I must call you something." She hesitated just long enough for -fetav to notice i t -Btther she had no substitute ready at hand, or else doubted the advisability of confiding her real, name under present circumstances to one so nearly a stranger. )f "You may call me Hope." * A name certainly of good omen," he returned/ "From this moment I shall forget Christie Maclaire, and remember only Miss Hope. All right, Net); now turn over a chair, and Bit your man up against i t He will rest all the easier in that position until his gang arrives." He thrust his head out of the door, peering cautiously forth into the night, r.nd listening. A single horse, probably the one Hawley had been riding, was tied to a dwarfed cottonwood near the corner of the cabin. Nothing else living was visible* "I am going to round up our horses, and learn the condition of Hawley's outfit," he announced in a low voice. "I may be gone for fifteen or twenty minutes, and, meanwhile, Miss Hope, get ready for a long ride. Neb, stand here close beside the door, and if any one tries to come In brain him with your gun-stock. I'll rap three times 'When I return." H e slipped out Into the silent night, and crept cautiously around the end of the dark cabin. The distinct change in the girl's attitude of friendship toward him, her every evident desire that he should think well of her, together with the providential opportunity "for escape, had left him full pf ^ ¾ confidence. The gambler had played * <J Wtodly Into, their hands, and Keith was- 'quick enough to accept the advantage. It was a risk to himself, to be sure, thus turning again to the northward, yet the clear duty he owed thft gfti toft such a choice almost inv peiatlVe, He certainly could not drag liar along with him an his flight into the wild Comanche country extending beyond the Canadian.

This plan settled, he went at It swiftly, riding the captured animal while rounding up-tiie others, and fastening' the three to stunted trees on the opposite bank. Bjtatytbing within the cabin remained exactly as he had'left it, and he briefly explained the situation, etaming Haw* ley's bonds again carefully while doing so. "Hall remain there all right until his men find him," he declared, positively, "and* that ought to give us a good six hours' start. Come, Miss Hope, every minute counts now." . He held her arm, not unconscious of Its round shapeliness, as ha helped bar down the rather steep bank through the dense gloom. Then the two men joined hands, and carrying her between them, waded the shallow stream. The horses, not yet sufficiently ratted to be frisky, accepted their burdens meekly enough, and, with scarcely a word spoken, the three rode away silently into the gloom of the night CHAPTER XII.

Keith rode, grasping the rein of the woman's horse In hie left hand, add bedding low in vain effort at pick- Ing a path. He had nothing to aim toward, yet sturdy confidence In his expert pJalaacraft yielded him sufficient sense of direction. He had noted the bark of the cottonwoods, the direction, of the wind*' and steered a course accordingly straight northward, alert to avert any variation. \ The girl rode easily, although in a man's saddle, the stirrups much too long.

"Few do not who live along thn Kansas border." "Do you mean he is a notoriously bad character?" "I have never heard of his being held up as a model to the young, Miss Miss Hope," he returned more soberly, convinced that she truly possessed no real knowledge regarding th6 man, and was not merely pretending Innocence. "I had never heard him called Hawley before, and, therefore, failed to recognize him under that respectable name. But I knew his voice the moment he entered the cabin, and realized that 'Borne devilment was afoot. Every town along this frontier has his record, and I've met him maybe a dozen times In the past three years. He Is known as "Black Bart;' is a gambler by profession, a_desperado_by reputation, and a cur "by nature. Just now I suspect him of being even deeper in the mire than this." He could tell by the quick clasping of her hands on the pommel of the saddle the effect of his words, but waited until the silence compelled her to speak. "Oh, I didn't know! You do not believe that I ever suspected such a thing? That I ever met him there understanding who he was?" "No, I do not," he answered. "What I overheard between you convinced me you were the victim of deceit But your going to that place alone was a most reckless act." She lifted her hand to her eyes, her head drooping forward. "Wasn't it what he told me—the out-station of a ranch?" (TO BE CONTINUED.) TRAINING IN GOOD MANNERS Begin When Boy Is Young, and Politeness Is Bound to Become 8econd Nature. Long before I had any sons of my own I made up my mind that, If I ever had the training of a boy, I should begin, as soon as he could understand anything, to teach him the small things that constitute good manners. So many boys I have known, and men, too, who at heart are good ana kind and really refined, yet lack so large a part of the little courtesies that It is hard to believe they have been well brought up. In most cases it is the fault of the mother. She . feels that it is much more Important to form the character of a little boy, that his manners can wait till he is older. The result is that one sees boys and men who rarely forget to be polite outside of their homes, and yet seem to think it unnecessary to treat their own mother in the same way. My view la that there is no need to neglect the character because you pay attention to the manners. I think I have succeeded. As soon as my first little boy wore trousers I taught him tha he must take off his hat as soon as he came into the house or when a lady spoke to him in the street That he must rise from his chair when I came at the dining table, must never walk out of the room before a lady, and all the other little polite ways we Hke to see in men. It has never been any trouble to keep him up to these things; he learned so young that it soon became second nature.—Harper's Bazar. y/try Taking Platform. Governor Dix, at a dinner in the Hotel Manhattan in New York, said of politics: "Sneering at politics, the Goncourta once said that no party could ever lose office If it gave the people free fireworks every night and free vaudeville every day.

Brownsville, Tex,—The most BOuth ern point of mainland territory in the United States is on a sharp bend oi the Rio Grande river about 20 mile? southwest of Brownsville.

In the daytime she was quite worrysome and would dig and scratch her face nearly all the time. "I consulted our physician and found she was suffering from eczema, which he said came from her teething. I used the ointment he gave me and without any relief at all.

Will science "ever" solve* that Ttd=--some change i n the distribution of the die? Will it heed "The Sphinx" in Emerson's famous poem who bade the eager questioner behold himself, the" answer and the question, too? Incredible as It may seem, scientists are even now doing: that very thing. In the near future you and I should be prepared to hear them announce most learnedly and sententiously the rediscovery of the human soul. Here and there, in hospital laboratories widely scattered, men of science are groping into the mystery. Like the mediaeval scientists who lived in dread of the ban of Mother Church, they are mostly working secretly and are not telling half they know. For science, that marvellous machine of modern progress, has its church, too, aa tt were; its orthodoxy and lta heterodoxy; Its hierarchy of established rulers who excommunicate and set autoa-da-fe for expounders of heresies. So far the evidence these bold Investigators have unearthed Is chiefly negative, yet nevertheless highly significant In the first place, one of them found that physical death Is accompanied by a sudden loss of bodily weight varying from three-quarters of aa ounce to nearly an ounce and a quarter. Some carious experiments of this ktfid were" made l>y Dr. Duncan MacDougall, oLHaverhill, >fass. His first subject was a man dying of tuberculosis. He selected a patient dying from this dlaeaae because so great an exhaustion characterises Its final stages that death occurs with little or no muscular movement. With a patient quiet, the beam of the scales can be kept true and any loss occurring will be evidenced. In this experiment the pattest/Was lying on a bed arranged . on a light framework which was built on «try delicately balanced platlprm tesiJe*. He was under observation" three boors and forty minutes before death:'lie lost weight slowly at the rate of an ounce aa hour, due to the evaporation of breath moisture and perspiration. Keenly the physician watched the fading hours and minutes of the almost spent life. And then—suddenly, coincident with death—the beam end of the scales dropped with an audi- We stroke, hitting against the lower bar and remaining there with no rebound! The scales registered an in- , slant loea of three-quarters of an ounce. What had gone? It could not have been evaporation of sweat, he decided, for ti at had slowly left the body at the rate of a tiny fraction of an ounce a minute, whereas the sudden lots at death had been many times aa great It coaid not A r e been, further tests satisfied the Vttor, the air in the lung*. ^ I * . MaeBugall was startled at the/, vtftrd pheasWenon. Something Immaterial, yet evidently forceful and of weight bad departed withr'the life. What t» the world was it? . The physician repeated his experiments in the last hours of varloua other tuberculosis patients.

What color tbe soul might assume, what space It covered in relation to the body, whether it emanated from the lips or from the head alone—these were some of the momentous questions he thought to settle forever. But neither the pure white light nor the spectrum bands told aught of the body's departing guest. That it showed no refraction to light was not, after all, surprising. There is one substance or force in the universe that is totally devoid of light refraction, and that is the interstellar ether, the wonderful, perfectly traaspeirent medium in which light itself moves unchecked and unbent What if the soul were ether? While the revolutionary theory of the BOUI as an actual existence* of ether or ether-like substance was setting tongues wagging in Boston, a pupil of the famous Dr. Walter J. Kllner of London, was performing experiments Just as marvelous in Chicago. Doctor Kllner Is a believer in the human aura. He holds that every human being is surrounded by an envelope of a peculiar kind of light which follows and Incloses every contour of the form. Thus another lmaglned_ myth=thehalo and -encircling glory that the superstitious ages attributed to the saints—may be demonstrated by a queer scientific reversal as a solid reality. miner's pupil In Chicago Is Doctor Patrick S. O'Donnell. He had from his master a set of Blides specially designed to make auras visible. These are merely bits of glass glued together with a solution, more or less concentrated, of a dark blue dye termed dlcyanin. The observer first looks at his subject through a stronger glass, and then when he has Identified the aura aa a nebulous haze surrounding the subject he transfers to a weaker glass with lest blue pigment, which shows him the aura as "a distinct bluish gray ring extending completely around the body." After the eye has thus been accommodated to the extreme limit of its vision, the lenses can be dispensed with altogether and the unaided, naked sight will discern by itself the aura's bluish glow. Doctor O'DonnelTs first demonstration was merely to establish the fact of the aura to doubting Thomases. Twelve prominent Chicago physicians and Six sisters of the Mercy hospital witnessed the trials. Most of them <tald the demonstration was a complete success and that they saw distinctly the bands of light encircling the bodies of the girl art models who had consented to pose. Each aura was visible in three parts. First next to the body, a dark band a quarter of an inch wide, which is known aa the etheric double; secondly, the inner aura or band of light, and finally the outer aura. When one of the physicians drew his hand along the undraped figure of the subject the aura followed It 81tter De Lourdes noticed there were distinct bands of light between the doctor's finger tips and the body of the model under observation. Withdrawal of the hand seemed to pull the color like putty away from the body, canting a decided change of shape in .the aura, which, however, toon returned lta original position. Curious aa all this ^ it forma but a'prelude to the truly extraordinary experiment Doctor O'Donnell made a little later. This offers a strange par- The First Thimble.

Like MacDougall, the Chicago physician watched the last moments of a dying man. To his practised eye the aura of the sufferer, a patient in Mercy hospital, was plainly outlined with Its dark etheric double and lta inner and outer bands of light For half an hour or so O'Donnell kept his vigil. The interne in charge of the case finally announced that the patient waa sinking. "I kept my eyea fastened on the patient," says O'Donnell, in his account of the weird experience. "Suddenly the aura began to spread away from the body, then it disappeared! At that instant the house physician announced that the patient was dead. What force produces the aura we cannot say just yet Every living person has one. It is gone the instant death comes.*' This Inquisitive Chicago doctor has no mind to be made a scientific martyr by announcing soul-heresies, but he Is firm in stating his belief that the aura, so evident in life and vanishing so ghostlike, in death, is not the resultant of mere bodily magnetism or electrical force. He believes he has discovered tbe visible effect of some as yet unknown human force, differing widely from the-play of electricity or magnetism, and separated as if by a gulf from the chemical and mechanical reactions of the body. In a word, it is inseparable from life, for when life goes the aura goes also. As to whether it be the physical side or aspect of the soul, he refuses to express his private view for publication. Over in France they are more outspoken, and they are telling of marvels the photographic camera has witnessed and recorded which as yet have been denied to the direct vision of the unaided eye. Consider the experiments of Doctor Baraduc, a" wellknown savant, concerning the light phenomena above and around the bodies of the dead. Doctor Baraduc is a psychic as well as a scientist of repute. Between himself and his son Andre a strong bond of affection existed. Frequently each had remarkable telepathic experiences with the other, and both were interested in the study of the soul. When in 1907 Andre died, his father took a photograph of the coffin after the boy had been dead nlno hours. When the plate was developed it was discovered that emanating from the body in the coffin was a formless, misty, wavelike mass, radiating in all directions, with considerable force, touching the bodies of those who came In close- proximity to tbe coffin, as If attracted to them by some magnetic force. On one occasion the force of contact with this mass was so great that Doctor Baraduc received an electric shock from head to foot, which produced a temporary dizziness. The savant's interest was so aroused after his photograph was taken that he attempted more conclusive experiments immediately upon the death of his wife, who died six months after her son. He set a camera at the bedside and at the moment of her death he photographed the body and short' ly after developed the plate. 6n it were found three luminous globes rest* ing a few Inches above the body by fine luminous threads. Ensuing photographs showed that these gradually condensed and became more brilliant. Streaks of light Ilka fine threads were also seen darting hither and thither. A photograph taken 15 minutes after the death of his wife showed Doctor Baraduc that fluid cords had developed partly encircling the globes of light An hour after her death a photograph then taken showed the condensed globe which obscured the head of Mme. Baraduc. Cords appeared in the shape of a figure eight, closed at tbe top and opened at the point nearest the body. Finally, three hours and a half after death, a well formed globe rested above the body, apparently held together by the encircling luminous cords, which seemed to guide and control i t At last the cords snapped one by one and the globe floated away and vanished. Are these veird and gvewsome luminous phenomena connected with the departure of tbe aura? And can the aura be the physical manifestation of the soul? These are two questions that need to be authoritatively answered one way or the other, and the experimenters will not rest till the answers are found. Cured of Flirting, "What cured him of flirting?"

After the bull is old enough for service he should not be allowed to run with young heifers or cows, but should, in suitable weather, be exercised dally.

On the top of the small end of the pole fasten a sash pulley, and, at a point just forward of the line of the post, a corresponding pulley; also, at intervals between the pulleys, put two or three screw-eyes to guide the chain from pulley to pulley. Bore holes vertically through the pole for the ends of the chain to fall through. At the outer end of the chain-attach—a—strong swivel" 'Tsnaphook, and at the other end hang a weight just heavy enough to take up the slack chain as the bull raiseB his head. The chain should be, when the weight is raised up against the pole, only long enough to permit the bull to lie down comfortably. When the bull is old enough for service he should thereafter never be allowed to have Ms liberty; but daily exercise should not be omitted. The exercising pole might be placed under a roof or building, but in winter it should be under cover and in the shade in summer.

Market Hogs Early. How should we manage the hog marketing proposition? It is a simple proposition, but few farmers have backbone to carry it out We would advise a farmer with thrifty shoats to purchase, corn during the summer months,, if it does seem high, and crowd his bogs on the market at the earliest possible moment. At to the exact date of profitable marketing we would suggest early September at the most propitious season, the weather being about the proper tempera* ture to promote the fattening process. Simply begin to push the fatteners at once and about the time farmers begin to hog down thsir-corn or to feed It to their hogs In various ways you dispose of yours, avoiding the drop that invariably follows the fall shipment of fat hogs.

Any person who has watched horses eating their noonday meals along ttra streets cannot fail to have noticed how much of the-feed was wasted when tbe animals tossed, their heads to get at the oats in the bottom of the bags. A Massachusetts man has designed a feed bag which saves all this waste andlir addition malces therhorte eat slower, so that he gets all the benefit of the food. The bag is made in two sections, one for the animal's head and the other for the feed. An opening at the bottom allows Horse Feed Bag. the oats to flow into the compartment in which the horse has his head, but only as fast as he eats them. 4Ie does - not have to toss his head about and even if he does there is no waste as the compartment containing the feed is closed at the top. By eating slowly, too, he is satisfied with less feed than If he bolted it. When not in use the bag can be folded up and carried in the tool box under the seat. M Rye for Grating.

(After King.) The fertility of any soil depends In a large measure upon the amount of water which that soil will hold under field conditions, and which will flow away through the drainage system. Our ordinary field crops require enormous amounts of water in order to give a good growth and profitable returns. If the crop can not obtain water when it needs It, then there will be a ceeaatJon of growth which will result in tow yields. The iflustratioa shows approximately the amount of water which each of three ordinary kinds of soil will hold under field conditions. Each group of two jars shows 12 inches of soil and the amount of water held hy the soil. The Jar to the left in each_ease__containji_the...l2. inches of soil, and the one at the right, the water held by that kind of soil. Group No, 1 contains a sandy loam soil, and the amount of water held by this son under field conditions a few days after heavy rains Ji__three inches. This means that the soil over a sandy loam ftel I to the depth of 12 inches Will bold k* the spaces between the soil grains i.-\ amount of water which would cover the field to the depth of three Inches. Group No. 2 contains a clay loam soil and the amount of water held In this case Is three and one-half inches. A muck soil is shown in the third group and the water held by a foot of this soil is six inches: The important thing for the fanner G R E E N _ MANURING The business of the soil 1B to produce crops. la order to accomplish this business most successfully, tt is necessary that the soil possess certain qualities: A proper temperature. Proper ventilation. The ability to gather and hold for the use of the crop goodly quantities of capillary water. In order that any soil shall possess these qualities it must he first of all properly drained. It muBt also be In the best possible condition of tilth, or as we frequently express it, It must have a proper condition of mellowness. This tilth will depend upon three things, namely: The proper selection and use of tools. The practice of a rational system of rotation in which a legume, preferably clover, shall occupy the soil at least one year in the rotation. «» The return to the soil of the largest possible amount of organic matter. Upon the-|rele*tkrn and use of tools and-upon tb> rotation will depend in no small degree the ability of the soil totgather aad bold moisture, and also te permit the r^eadar aiovement |*t a«r ttaet«aVih*aott.

The system of farming which returns naturally to the soft the largest amount of organic matter la live stock farming In some of tta phases; for in live stock farming the products of the farm are fed largely to the live stock tad nothing but finished prod* ucU in the for}* of meata, wood, dairy products, poultry products, etc., are sold away from the farm, everything being reserved in the way of roughage and manures. It frequently happens also that In live stock farming, not only are the products of the farm tat, but concentrates in the form of grains, and meals, etc., are purenased (or feed **d the manures are tbha enhancjed'and enriched. to consider is the reason why one soil holds more water than another. If the capacity of a soil for water can be increased ty any means, it would be of great importance to the tillers of the soil. There are two principal things which cause soils to hold more water. One is fineness of the soil particles or grains, and the other is the amount of organic matter or humus which the soil contains. The fine grains of the clay loam soil, togetherjwith the humus which It contains, and the amount of organic matter and humus in the muck soils, puts them in a condition to hold more water than the sandy loam soil. The finer the grains of any soil the more water it will hold. The addition of organic matter to a BOII will cause it to hold more water. It would be a hard matter to make the grains of a soil finer than they are In any case, but a great deal can be done to make the particles or soil crumbs finer by cultivating soils properly, andonly when, they are-in the proper condition to be worked. Organic matter or humus can be added to the soil cheaply and in many different ways. Plowing under clover or clover sod, adding barnyard manure, sowing rye or vetch in the fall and plowing it under In the sprfng are some of the methods by which organic matter can be added to the soil. This will put the soil in condition to hold more water for the growing crop, and will be helpful in many other ways. matter that they may be rendered normally productive. In intensive farming, orcharding and trucking, and where abundant quantities of barn yard manure cannot be had, special means must be employed to increase the -amount ot~ organic matter in the soil. In the case of the run down soils and in case of the intensive farming, orcharding and trucking, mentioned above, It becomes necessary to adopt a apecial method of Increasing the amount of organic matter in the soil. This method is usually spoken of as green manuring. It consists of the planting and growing .of a crop to plow under before it has reached maturity. The crops most commonly used for the purpose are: Rye. Oats. Corn sown broadcast or drilled with ordinary drill at the rate of a bushel per acre, and sometimes a combination of oats and peas. In some sections of the country cow peas or soy beans are grown for this purpose. These are used much in the south and also on the heavy clay soils of the central states. The hairy or winter vetch is some sometimes used. At the present time the hairy vetch is being used with marked success on some of the lighter lands of western Michigan. Rye and vetches are usually sown in the fall or late summer. The others are sown in the spring as early as for the. several crops will tauaJcy a litin growing crops far gsatsi or Some difficulties are son*e$Mss) see* with in the plowing under oflfcMsem. Where it is dense, it i* sometimes neeV eesary to use a roller upon it before attempting to plow, care being taken to roll it in the same direction as the plowing is to be done. It is also time times necessary to place upon the plow a chain or some other means to insure the complete covering of the tops of the crop. , Two dangers are te be guarded against It is not always that the green manure crop is allowed to approach maturity, but however this may be, if the succeeding crop is to be planted Immediately after the green manure crop is plowed under, unless care is observed, the material which is plowed under will cut o* the capillary rise of water from thai lower soil, with the result that the upper son remains too dry to support germination or growth.

SPAIN flylNejE3ELLIQII Martial Law Qeciared After Rioting In Many Towns. Spain is again menaced by a rebellion which threatens to overthrow the government, and martial law has been declared throughout the nation. So turbulent has become the volcanic spirit of unrest, which had its inception in the general strikes in Bilboa, Saragossa, Huelva, Cadiz, Valencia, Seville and Gijon, that complete suspension of conetitutlqnal guarantees has been proclaimed. Fierce fighting and bloodshed have marked the spread of the strike, which the government says is of revolutionary origin. The bitterness has been intensified by the action of Premier Canalejas in declaring martial law in local centers where the greatest social unrest obtains.

In chasing the market for profit, the fellows who blindly follow the crowd are generally the ones who get left. The successful man buys when he has the least competition, at the lowest prices and with the greatest margin for profit, which usually brings his selling time during a period of comparative scarcity at market, and be therefore gets higher prices and most always makes a good profit in his dealings, Hero's a Chance for Gain. The present very low market values of feeding sheep and lambs, being less than the cost of production, offers such an opportunity to those who are prepared to properly care for them. Feeders Are Selling Cheap. Well-bred, thin but thrifty lambs of the growing kind can now be bought on the Chicago market for $5.25 to $5.50 per 100 pounds; wethers of similar description, $3.40 to $3.75; yearling wethers, $4.25 to $4.50; yearling breeding ewes, $4.00 to $4.60, and good feeding ewes at $2.50 to $2.85. These prices are about $1.75 lower than a year ago for feeder lambs, and the loweBt since 1904. Feeder sheep prices stBO are—unusually low. Now Is the Time to Buy. In view of the fact that prices of feeder sheep and lambs are now below the cost of production, and that present prices of lamb and mutton are out of line with all other meats and must therefore soon rise because of the increased consumption invited thereby, the conclusion is inevitable that now is the best time to buy feeder sheep and lambs for all those who are ready to prepare them for market during the early part of next year. A leading sheep owner and dealer says: "Fat is made pretty cheap on the Fall feed that otherwise would be wasted, and the sheep and lamb feeding proposition from the standpoint of fertility is worthy of most careful consideration."

I f w e reaeh England before the French cabinet can send a n emissary England will a c t with u s , for we can s o represent the matter that it will appear to be to her interest t o do so. If France i s ahead of u s England's action will be reversed. Here is a suit case containing all t h e papers you will need. Go a t once to London and, without waiting to make a toilet, thence t o t h e foreign office in Downing street Endeavor to make the minister commit himself before y o u leave him.1' Count Otto von Hoi wig left Berlin on the evening train for Ostend, Intending to cross the English channel at that point. On the same train w a s a lady who, o n coming to one of tbe main stops, alighted from her car and, passing along toward tbe rear, looking in a t t h e open doors, finally entered t h e compartment occupied by the ambassador. £}he took a seat a n d threw her head back on to the cushion with every appearance of suffering. Besides Von Holwig there were t w o men and a woman in the compartm e n t -all of whom cast glances toward and appeared to take an interest in t h e suffering woman. She held her handkerchief t o her face so that they could not s e e w h a t she looked like and n o w and again emitted a l o w groan. T h e other woman in t h e compartment asked if s h e could do anything for her, b u t t h e invalid without speaking repulsed her by a w a v e of the hand. Presently t h e sufferer started up and exclaimed, "It's all gone!" T h e men noticed that she w a s beautiful, and the smile s h e wore was a winning change from t h e evidences of agony she had given vent to. "And now," she added, "I must explain to you good people. I am a sufferer from facial neuralgia. When one of the attacks leaves m e I need a bracer." She took a gold mounted flask from a b a g and several tiny glasses. Filling one of t r e glasses, she handed i t to one of t h e men, w h o took it. Then, filling another glass, s h e banded i t to t h e next man, w h o tried t o beg off. But a certain winning, dominating force that w a s about ber prevailed. The next man s h e offered a drink w a s Ton Holwig. H e declined, and t h e lady could not persuade him. She then gave a glass t o ber woman fellow passenger, w h o after a fruitless effort to p u t it aside accepted i t After all w h o held glasses had emptied them tbe lady brought out a box of cigarettes, which she likewise passed around. This also the count refused. B u t t h e lady gave him a look as i f to accuse htm, of Insulting her by this second refusal, and he gave in. When the train stopped again t h e lady who had facial neuralgia left the compartment, closing t h e door behind her. A fat old gentleman opened It to enter and pausea1. There were three men and a woman asleep. Tbe compartment w a s full of cigarette smoke to which w a s attached a strange odor. The old man called t h e guard and pointed to the sleepers. "There's been a robbery here," said the guard. "These people have been; drugged. Ten t o one all their money has been taken." H e shook one of the men, w h o gradually opened his eyes and looked a t him dazed. Then another and another w a s aroused, Von Holwig among tbe number. H e awoke with a start and looked about him for bis suit case. "Lost anything, sir?" asked t h e guard. * Von- Holwig, white a s a sheet; did not reply for s o m e time, then answer* ed, "No." H e k n e w that be had been tricked by a woman a n d did not propose t o give a w a y state secrets.

International Harvester Company Replies T h e Fsrcte $ « • Perth R e g a r d - ing t h e AH#<& o f t h e Unsigne d and A|fBfjBaadtfl4 J o w n a e n d During the last month there have been widely circulated certain statements regarding, the International Harvester Cooipany, all of which have their origin in a report made more than five years ago by Assistant District Attorney Townsend, after a brief and partial investigation. The International Harvester Company has presented to the Stanley Committee, at Washington, a complete and vigorous answer, in which it U pointed out that tbe argument and conclusions of the so-culled "Townsend Report" are based upon clearly erroneous statements ot well known facte. The "Townsend Report" claims that a monopoly in harvesting machinery lias been created because the International owns the patents on all tbe beet types of kn otters. The truth is that there have been no patents whatever on the esaential part of any type of knotter since 1896, when the Appleby patent expired Neither are there now any patents upon any essential part of the grain binder. The many basic patents had all expired in 1K96, and there have been no substantial patented improvements since 1891—twenty years ago —while the life of a patent, as is wellknown, is only seventeen years. That there are no such patents is known to every manufacturer of harvesters, and is now emphasized by the fact that other manufacturers} including the Minnesota State Prison, have recently closely imitated the International's models. The Townsend Report charges that of all of the different types of harvesters purchased by tbe International, all except three—the "Deering," McCormick, and "Osborne"—have been abolished, and that repairs are not furnished for any others. This statement is notoriously and absolutely untrue. Repairs for the "Minnie," "Buckeye," aud "Keystone," although not manufactured for nearly ten years, have always been and are still furnished by the International, Although the Report states that (he "Champion," "Piano," and "Milwaukee" binders and mower? have ceased to 6e manufactured, the truth is that they have been since 1902 continuously manufactured, and are still manufactured by the International and are generally sold throughout the United States. This is well known to the farmers and dealers of the cone try. The Report's charge of a "binder twine trust" is without any foundation whatsoever. Theinteraatiefeal is not only in constant and vigorous competition with Ihe Plymouth Cordage Company and a half dozen or more other smaller twine manufacturer*, but also with seven state penitentiary twin* mills. Since the Internatinnal was organized, binder twine prices have steadily fallen and the decrease between 1902 and 1912 amount to 40 per cent. ' The charge that tbe International has suppressed competition in harvesters is likewise untrue. It has had continously, aud still has, the vigorous competition of the Johnston, Walter A . Wood Acme, an 1 Adriance-Platt Companies in the binder trade, and several other in the mower trade. Recently two large rnanufacters have entered the trade, while the Minnesota Prison factory compels free labor and private capital to compete with prison labor and public funds in the manufacture of harvesters and twine. The Townsend report repeats the everrecurring falsehood that binders are sold at a cheaper price abroad than at home. The United States Government's investigate n, in 1909, proved that while the American farmer says approximately 1125.00 for a 6 foot binder, in France this game machine costs H73.70j; in Germany 1308.00; in Sweden, H60.S0; and in Great Britisn, 1135.16. In spite of the fact that materials had increased in cost more than 30 per cent and wages more than 17 per cent, the International did not increase its price of binders until three y e a n ago. And then an increase of only 7 per cent was made. This, however, owing to some reductions in material, has been largely wiped out by an announced redaction of 6 per cent for 1912, although the cost of labor has advanced mdre than 26 per cent. , 3*1 Adv.

That the accident insurance companies and the lawyers who hunt up personal injury damage suits are both leeches on the body politic, and that the state ought to be in a hurry to establish an employers' liability and workmen's compensation act was the gist of an address delivered by R. L. Drake, Detroit, before the state convention of the Federation of Labor at Battle Creek. Mr. Drake is secretary of the commission appointed by the governor to investigate Industrial accidents In the state and report to the next legislature its recommendations for a new law. It was plain to see what kind of a law Drake thinks ought to be passed —one that will compel settlement with all Injured workmen without having any law suits—settlements that will compensate for injuries received. It Is plain to see he wants the state to go Into the accident Insurance business and run It at cost for both employer and employe. "The employer invariably thinks that if he could take the money, that now goes to the liability insurance companies and give it to the injured, a. great wrong would be righted," avered the speaker. "When a workman receives an injury, owing to the fact that if he elects to sue he invariably sacrifices his position and Jeopardises his chances for a livelihood when he recovers. If he takes without contest what the Insurance company elects to give him, he must take sueh a small amount that, aside probably from his doctor's bills, all the burden of his accident Is borne by himself and family. "The time is not far distant when the workman will no longer produce all of the world's wealth and bear all of ity burden unaided. "There is a great economic waste, as evidenced by the enormous profits yearly accruing to the accident insurance companies, which burden is borne by the employer, and the profits acquired by the lawyer who makes a specialty of personal injury cases. There is not much to choose between the two. They are both leeches on the industrial world and get the cream, while the~ contending Tsartles must be satisfied with skim milk. "If it is necessary for the employers of the state to devote annually large sums of money to protect themselves against their liability because of industrial accldentB, let us at least see that a Just, proportion of it is turned into the channels of justice, so that In the end it will reach the deserving, those men who are Injured in the perr formance of their dally labor."

Information is in the hands of the special commission studying the taxation problem in this state, which shows that the corporations of Michigan are not paying their proportion of taxes, if their valuation is determined by using the income they earn on the stocks and bonds issued. Statistics are said to be in the hands of the commission which will show that only a small percentage of the tangible and Intangible value of these companies la placed on the tax rolls when compared with the valuation placed on real estate for taxation purposes. This information will furnish an Important feature of the recommendation by the commission that the state abandon the present taxation system and divide state and local taxes, general property bearing the local tax and corporations paying the state tax, aided by an excise tax on liquor and an increased inheritance tax. Apples Rot on Ground. Never before were the farmers of Grant and vicinity at such disadvantage in the apple line as at the present time.

May Call Special Session. Informatldh from a reliable source is that- when the special committee oh taxation matters . recently named by Governor Osborn makes ft§ report to the^bjef executive, theU finding* will berjmportan* enough to induce the governor to issue a call for a eof&al session of the legislature. This will be the business of the session, as also to redistrict the state. In fact, it is known by close friends of the governor that be has already been apprised of the most of the commission's findings, and has expressed himself as desirous of calling a special session If the report in its entirety is as good as indicated now. The commission has ascertained that the corporations of the state are not paying their just proportion of the taxes, if their valuation is determined by using the incomes they, earn on their stocks and bonds. The commission has statistics which prove that only a small percentage of the tangible and intangible assets of these corporations are placed on the tax rolls, when compared with the valuation placed on real estate for taxation purposes. It is known that the commission in its report will recommend to the legislature the abandonment of the present taxation system and the division of state and local taxes, leaving general property to bear, the local tax and the corporations to pay the state tax, aided by an excise tax on liquor and an increased inheritance tax. There is going to be a large space in the report given to the tax on liquor, according to Information obtainable in Lansing, and several new features of liquor taxation will be advocated. The various representatives and senators are already figuring for a short winter session. The state constitution says that members of the legislature can only draw their salary of five dollars per day for 20 days when convened In special session. The point arises, and is being much discussed In and about the state house, whether it will be possible for the legislature to acconv plish much important legislation, especially a new taxation system, in so limited a time. Governor Osborn is aware of the fact that the members' pay would stop at the expiration of the 20 days, but he Is also aware that there is nothing In the constitution that prevents the legislature remaining in session after the 20 days, and pay, has expired. The governor has remarked that because the salary of the legislators stopped that would be no reason why work should stop.

Road to Be Built a t Last. The state railroad commission has authorized the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Jackson railroad company to incorporate with a capital of $500,000. The incorporation papers were filed* with the secretary of state. The incorporation of this company, which was formed recently at Monroe, means the taking over of the property of the old Toledo, Ann Arbor & Jackson electric line, which was organized in 1906, and which company built about 20 miles of electric line out of Toledo the following year, and then ceased operations. Three hundred thousand dollars of the amunt will be used In purchasing the assets and property of the old line, and the remaining amount will be used in further construction of the road. Few Miners Are Injured. A special investigation made by an agent ^of the Michigan employers' liability and workingmen's compensation commission, appointed by Governor Osborn, discloses a very low number of fatal accidents, considering the many thousand men employed, in the copper mines of the Lake Superior district, and remarkably few injuries resulting in permanent disability, such as the loss of an arm, leg or eye. Most of the.accidents reported consist of minor injuries, a lacerated hand, finger or skull, bruises and sprains, resulting in the loss of only a few days' time. The Investigation shows the fallacy of the idea of people unfamiliar with the mining Industry of this region that men are maimed or killed by the wholesale In the copper country mines. The report of the mine inspector for the year ending September 30, 1910, shows that there were but 58 men killed during that year, the number of men employed being nearly 20,000, working approximately 300 days per year. Most Of the mines maintain an aid fund, from which an Injured man may draw for a period of time fixed by the rules, ard amounting to one dollar a day at most of the mines, and at others not less than five dollars per working Week. When a man Is killed his heirs receive an amount which varies at the different mines, from $200 to $600. These aid funds are maintained by the men at some of the mines and by the men and the company Jointly at others. In these latter cases the company contributes an amount equal to that contributed by the men. The contributions of the men consist of an amount charged each one, varying from 50 cents to $1 per month. Every man employed in the'mines is a member of the aid fund; and If injured is entitled to draw aid in accordance with the fund rules. The governor's commission Is endeavoring to frame up a working compensation act which will be generally accepted by both men and companies engaged in hazardous undertakings, and such a law will be welcomed, Inasmuch as it will definitely esfabnsn the rights and liabilities of tft jpfbftles.

The Steamer Joliet Struck by the Phipps In a Dense Fog. Twenty-three members of the crew of the steamer Joliet had narrow escapes with their lives at Port Huron, when that vessel was struck by the steamer Phipps, the Joliet sinking in 30, feet of, water. Two men clung to the rigging of the Joliet, being unable to get into the one boat which was lowered before she went down. Other members of the crew were taken off on the small boat and later picked up by yawls from the steamer Phipps. The last man rescued was taken- ashore about two hours after the. accident a mile below the place where the collision, occurred, on. the Canadian shore. The boat sunk within a few minutes.

Miss Hope, I want you to comprehend what it Is you have escaped from; what you are now fleeing from. Withinrthe last two years an apparently organized body of outlaws have been operating throughout this entire region. Oftentimes disguised as Indians, they have terrorized the Santa Fe trail for two hundred miles, killing travelers la small parties, and driving off stock. There are few ranches as far west as tills, but these have all suffered from raids. These fellows have done more to precipitate the present Indian war than any act of the savages. They bare endeavored to make the authorities believe that Indians were guilty of their deeds of murder and robbery. Both troops and volunteers have tried to hold the gang up, but they scatter and disappear, as though swallowed by the desert I have been out twice, hard on their trail, only to come back baffled. Now, I think accident bas given me the clue." ^hestraightened up; glancing queetkmingly at him through the dark- "This is what I mean, Miss Hope. I suspect. that cabin to be the rendegvous of those fellows, and I half believe Hawley to be their leader." t 'Then you will report all tbis to the authorities?" He smiled grimly, his lips compressed. ^ hardly think BO; at least, not for the- present I am not blood-thirsty, or enamored of man-hunting, but I happen to have a personal interest in this particular affair which I should prefer to settle alone." He paused, swiftly reviewing the circumstances of their short acquaintance, and as suddenly determined to trust her discretion. Deep down in his heart he rather wanted her to know. "The fact of the matter is, that Neb and I here were the onea that particular poase were trailing." T o u r her voice faltered. "He said those men, were under arrest for murder, and had broken JaiL" "He also said it was easy to COB* vict man in this country if you only knew how.

She listened Intently, asking; few questions, until he ended. Then they both looked up, conscious that dawn was becoming gray in the east Keith's first thought was one of relief—the bright sky showed him they were riding straight north. CHAPTER X I I I . trtat wtmida* * r •"•' "J t W f - The Ford of the Arkansas. They were still in the midst of the yellow featureless plain, but the weary horses bad slowed down to a walk, the heavy Band retarding progress, it was a gloomy, depressing scene in the spectral gray light a wide circle of Intense loneliness, unbroken by either dwarfed shrub or bunch of grass, a barren expanse stretching to the sky. Vague cloud shadows seemed to flit across the level surface, assuming fantastic shapes, but all of the same dull coloring, imperfect and unfinished. Nothing seemed tangible or real, but rather soma grotesque picture of delirium, ever merging into another yet more hideous. The very silence of those surrounding wastes seemed burdensome, adding immeasurably to the horror. They were but specks crawl* ing underneath the sky—the only Hying, moving objects in all that immense circle of desolation and death. Keith turned in his saddle, looking back past Neb—who swayed fa hia seat, with heed kMing on his breast * t -thoflfh asleep, his bono plodding afWftJbe others-along the align* trail they had made Across the desert 80 far, as eye could reach nothing mayed. nothing apparently .existed.

She puzsled blm, and - he scarcely knew what to believe, or exactly how to act toward her. "Our friends back yonder should he turning out from the corral by now," he said finally, anxious to break the silence, for she had not spoken since he ended his tale. "It will not be long until they discover Hawley's predicament and perhaps the welkin already rings with profanity. That may even account for the blue haze out yonder." She turned her eyes toward him, and the slightest trace of a smile appeared from out of the depths of their weariness. "If they would only remain satisfied with that Will they follow us, do you think? And are we far enough away by this time to be safe?" "It Is hardly likely they will let us escape without a chase," he answered slowly. "We possess too much Information now that we have their rendezvous located, and "Black Bart' will have a private grudge to revenge. 1 wonder if he suspects who attacked him! But donZl_worry, Miss Hope; we have miles the start and the wind has been strong enough to cover our trail. Do you see that dark irregularity ahead?"

Then we will halt and eat whatever Nab has packed behind him, and rest for an hour or two. Ton look vwy tired, bat 1 hope- you can keep up for that distance, We shall be safely out of sjghtitbam." "Indeed, I am tired; the strain of waiting atone la that cabin, and all that happened last night have tried me severely. But—but I can go through." Her voice proved her weakness, although it was determined enough, and, Keith, yielding to sudden impulse, putoat his hand, and permitted tt to rest upon hers, clasped across the pommel Bar eyas drooped, but there was no change of posture.

He did not notice that she glanced aside at him shyly, marking the outline of his clear-cut features, It was a manly face, strong, alive, full of character, the well-shaped head firmly poised, the broad shoulders sguared in spite of the long night of weary exertion. The depths of her eyes brightened with appreciation. "I believe your story, Mr. Keith," she Bald at laat softly. "My story?** questionlngly, and turning Instantly toward her. "Yea; all that you have told me about what happened." "Oh; I had almost forgotten having told i t but I never felt any doubt but what you would believe. I don't think I could lie to you." It was no compliment, but spoken with such evident honesty that her eyea met his with frankness. "There could be no necessity; only I wanted you to know that I trust you, and am grateful" She extended her hand this time, and he took it within his own, holding It firmly, yet without knowing what to answer. There was strong impulse within him to question her, to learn then and there her own life story. Yet, somehow, the reticence of the girl restrained him; he could not deliberately probe beneath the veil she kept lowered between them. Until Bhe chose to lift it herself voluntarily, he possessed no right to Intrude. The gentlemanly instincts of younger years held him silent, realizing clearly that whatever secret might dominate her life, It was hers to conceal just so long as she pleased. Out of this swift struggle of repression he managed to say: "I appreciate your confidence, and mean to prove worthy. Perhaps some day I con bring you the proofs." "I need none other than your own word." "Oh, but possibly you are too easily convinced; you believed In Hawley." She looked at him searchlngly, her eyes glowing, her cheeks flushed. "Yes," she said slowly, convincingly. "I know I did; I—I was so anxious to be helped, but—but this is different" <TO BE CONTINUED.) AUSI THE POOR DUCHESS She Thought Wealthy Couple Were Making Sport of Her Wedding Present . Recently, when the wealthy Mile, de R. was to be married, one of our good decbeases had to make her a present, Just a little present The duchess thought it would be useless to expend much money for a person so rich. She thought,if she would look through her vast mansion she would be able to find something, some trinket to which the addition of her card would give sufficient glory. She finally found in her writing desk an Insignificant cameo that she bad once worn. The following day she received from her young friend a letter of enthusiastic thanks: "Oh. you have been very footishl Tbis is too, too beautiful," etc "She Is making sport of my little present" thought the good duchess. Then came a second letter, this time from the husband who was to be; "How can we thank you? We are delighted. Thia will spoil us." "The Impertinent fellow," said the duchess, "he wants me to understand that 1 have been niggardly." Nevertheless she went to,pay a visit to the R.'a before the marriage. There tn the midst of the presents, exposed in a most prominent place, she saw the little cameo placed upon her card. Aa eld gentleman approached hot. He was s member of the Academy of inscriptions end Beifeslettres. "What a wonderful present you hsve gtvsn these children, Madame la duchess,'* be said.

Fears of Famine in Several Foreign Countries Make Situation Worse —Reported That Sugar Will Drop. Foodstuffs which might have been affected by an influx of Canadian products had Laurler and his government not been defeated in Canada rose sharply in price in all American supply centers last week. "Wheat led the advance and was followed by flour, when millers ignored their previous price Hats and adjusted their quotations to figures more commensurate with the advanced cost of the grain staple. Oats, too, felt the effect of the Canadian vote, and as a result the consumers may expect soon to pay increased prices for breakfast foods. The initial meal of the day, in fact, seems destined to bear the brunt of higher living costs within the next few months. The cost of toast and biscuit, wheat cakes and porridge, it is probable, will soon add to the- woes of the housekeeper. Sugar \i\Vt be cheaper within a fortnight in the opinldn of Edward F. Atkins, vice-president and managing director of the American Sugar Refining Co. In a statement issued in Boston Mr. Atkins says: "The domestic beet sugar crop of the west is just commencing, and in two weeks deliveries will be made. This crop is estimated at 530,000 tons. The Louisiana crop, estimated at 325,000 tons, will come on the market the first of November. These two sources will furnish a supply sufficient to provide for all requirements until the new arrivals from Cuba Jan. l." Dies In Flames at His Biplane Burns. Whirling about in midair, his body ablaze, Frank Miller, a Cleveland aviator, was burned to death and dropped to the ground in the sight of thousands of spectators at the Miami county fair at Troy, near Piqua, O. Miller had just commenced a flight around the fair grounds about 200 feet from the ground in his biplane. As he made a final swoop toward his landing place there was a blinding flash and his gasoline tank exploded. A. twist of the steering wheel sent the plane up in the air and then Miller lost control and the flaming gasoline enveloped him. Like a shot out of a cannon the aviator and machine dropped to the ground. Miller was dead, his machine consumed by flames. "Dare Devil" Castellaner an aviator, fell to instant death at the Mansfield, Pa., fair. He had started in an exhibition flight and when threequarters of a mile from the ground his machine careened, turned turtle and fell on a hillside. Castellane was found buried beneath the wreckage of his engine and plane. His wife witnessed the fatality. Stolypln's Assassin Condemned to Death. Dimitry Bogroff, the assassin of Premier Stolypin, was tried by court martial at Kiev and sentenced to death by hanging. Bogroff shct M. Stolypin a week ago, during a gala performance at the opera, and the premier succumbed to the wound later. Emperor Nicholas, the heir apparent, and the grand duchesses Olga, Tatiana, Marie and Anastasia, who occupied the Imperial box, witnessed the shooting. Bogroff is about 24 years old and a graduate of Kiev university. He was a member of the secret police, and also a revolutionist, and is said to have been assigned to the task by the revolutionary organization. The First Mall Carried by Aeroplane. The first United States mail ever transported by aeroplane was carried from the aviation field on Nassau boulevard, Long Island, to Garden City, a distance of five miles, by Earl L. Ovington in a Bleriot machine. His flight for thjs purpose was the leading feature of the international meet's opening day. Ovington took only one mail bag, held between hia knees and when he was over Garden City he dropped it on the signal of a man who waved a flag as prearranged. Kokovsoff For Premier.

The annual fire losses of the United States arc measured by the millions; in fact, it is stated that over two hundred and fifty million dollars worth of property was wiped out by fire in the United States laat year. While it it true that the precaution* to prevent fire and fire fighting systems are often inadequate, the main trouble lies in Jfim/y, non-firtproof building construction. Experience has proved that fireproof construction is both practicable and economical. In some industries fireproof building is compelled by law. Reinforced anertt* has come to the front as the most important agent in building against fire. The use of cenunt in building is becoming more and more common, due to its fireproofhess, durability and economy. When building anything from the back porch steps to an office building, concrete construction may be safely adopted. The use of Untvtnal Portland Cement in the ancreu will msure cement pj the best quality possible to manufacture. Univtr* ml is handled everywhere by the best dealers. CXrVTKSAL PORTLAND CEMEftT CO.

M- % I'* W'. :("••• A young lady who has been suffering with lameness was taken to the Sanitarium one day last week and her ailment was diagnosed as Pinckney, complicated by sympfomBLXit^ operation was decided necessary. In the operating room she gave one dismal Howell then succumbed to tbe anaesthetic and became unconscious. While in this state she imagined she was under a large Green Ouk in a shady Oak Grove on the north was a Deerfield where sewral fine deerwere feeding and on the South Lyons and other wild animals were confined in a Plainfield. Several of these animals became excited and rushed up and down the fence seeking some means of escape. In surging against the fence tnat confined them one of tbe boards became loosened and the young lady under the tree was in great danger. At this moment her mother Anderson arrived on the scene driving a roan horse, The daughter excitedly shouted Tyrone and save me! The boy being a Handy lad with a hammer soon repaired the fence, making it safe again. This calmed the agitated maiden and she soon began to Brighton up. Her mother anxiously inquired how she felt and she answered "I am feeling some better but my Hartland how it throbs and I am so hungry." They gave her a small Hamburg steak and she fell into a peaceful slumber. Atter the operation the patient did not come oat from under the influence of the drag and the doctors have exhausted every method known to medical science to resuscitate the girL At one time it looked at if their efforts would be crowned with success, for the rallied a short time. She imagined she. was atv Znkey Lake and ex. claimed. "If the water is filled with earth is Lakeland ?" The physicians then gave up all hope of recovery. ^ , » * • • • • Fiona Moran apent the first of theweekinDetrorfc JUST A MINUTE.

WUDRL NEBUCHADNEZZAR^ %ND NECHO TOUGHT £3™™ fore the T Is written twice la the Old Testament that there was a strong: city, Carchemish, on Euphrates, when Pharaoh Necho fought with Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon; but In records of much earlier times we read of the place as a stronghold of the Hatti or Hittltes. The Egyptians reached Carchemiah, on a march to the far north (as the north seemed to them), even be- Hittltes established themselves there; for, as we have lately learned indisputably from the Boghaz Keul tablets, it was not till the early part of the 14th century B. C. that the Cappadocian Hatti poured over 'Taurus to stay. Thereafter all northeastern Syria came to be known aa Hatti Land, and so the cuneiform texts call it from the first expansion of the Nineyites westward to Euphrates, under Tlglath Pileser I., about 1100 B. C, down to the days of Nebuchadnezzar. In this Hatti Land, Carchemish always appears as the chief ^clty, the first attacked or summoned to render tribute, the richest in loot of all kinds; and moreover, as a place of much trade, for a weight-measure, used throughout Mesopotamia, was known as the maneh of Carchemish. As soon as Hlttlte history and antiquities began to attract attention, scholars discussed the probable site of Carchemish. It was evidently on the west bank of the Euphrates, not so very far from Aleppo, but south of Taurus. A large riverside site had been known at a place called Jerablus ever since the end of the seventeenth century; and when Hittite remains were reported there in the early '70s the British Museum organized a tentative exploration of its great mounds. This exploration was not very satisfactorily carried out, but It yielded results which went far to confirm the identification of the place with the long-lost Carchemish, and enriched the collection with Borne ten of the best Hlttlte reliefs and inscriptions then known. For want of proper records, however, the excavation did not equally enrich science. Three years ago I was sent to prospect the place, and when at last permission to excavate was granted by the Ottoman government, I was commIssioned to begin the campaign—in The early spring of this year. I stayed six weeks on the site, and then handed over the direction toMr. Campbell Thompson. Digging has thus been going on at Jerablus for some four months, and already we know a great deal more about the southern capital of the Hlttites than has been known since it passed out of history. Jerablus is immense, as Syrian Bites go, both in area and bulk. The space enclosed by walls, which for moat of their circuit still stand over twenty feet high, is nearly two miles In circumference, ane yet is, perhaps, only the royal city, outside of which the habitations of the commoner folk spread themselves far over the plain. The Acropolis mound, which is at the northwest of the circuit, right above Euphrates, is about a quarter of a mile long and rises a hundred and thirty feet above mean water-level. It Is magnificently placed, Just at the head of a majestic curve of the river, which sweeps down In flood time nearly a mile broad. Landward it looks over a broad, fertile plain, dotted with mounds and bounded by an arc of hills, which shining reaches of ***** i • * • * * * • #^tW/*«S KEEPING THE CEREAL FRESH T r y Putting Packages, Once Opened, Above Kitchen Range or on the Radiator. jrVri& *ri£& '-*£&' 7/f£rtWS 0/~J£M5U/J ^ol the Euphrates subtend. The view is all bare and treeless now, but one of the most attractive that I know, by reason of the changing lights under the desert sky and the unfailing fascination of the river. The excavators have found that the earliest town. pre-Hlttite and a fortiori pre-Assyiian, lay by the Euphrates b »ui£ on a rocky knoll which is the basis of the actual Acropolis. Its inhabitants had hardly got beyond the neolithic use of chipped flints and flakes of clear obsidian from inner Asia and of hand-made pottery which they burnished with pebble-polishers and decorated with Incised designs. But they were beginning_ to know bronze implements and to paint their vases when the Cappadocian Hlttites came down upon them. These built a fortress above the ruins of the early settlement, raising the mound Bomewhat, and at its landward foot constructed a royal residence. A broad flight of stone stairs led up to the Acropolis, and was approached by a spacious roadway lined with monumental reliefs and inscriptions in the peculiar Hittite script. The Jerablus stones already In the British Museum are parts of tats lining of stairs and road, and td them must now be added a dozen or more great sculptured slabs—records apparently of the exploits of a king, who appears seated before the nude goddess of his people, with an inscription by his head. On another big Blab, decorated with sixteen hands, signifying probably the number of the vanquished cities or tribes, and with three heads of royal captives, he has written what is doubtless the story of the war; and this, the longest Hittite Inscription in relief yet found, we may hope to read some day when a bilingual In cuneiform gives us the key to the Hittite script. Thus far no such bilingual has appeared, though Jerablus, site of a capital on the frontiers of the two scripts, should produce one, if one there ever was. Several fragments of cuneiform monuments have, indeed, come to light already to encourage hope Upon the Hittltes descended in due time the Assyrians. They first wrecked and then repaired the great stairway and palace, and over the Hittite fortress piled a_ huge brick erection of their own. Brick stamps show that the conqueror in 717 B. C, Sargon III, took a hand in this erection. His prefect seems to have had successors down to the dawn of the Persian epoch; but t h e r e after was d e s o 1 a tion, till s u c c e s s ors of A l e x a n d e r or forerunners of Roman occupants resettled the place in part, to be followed by a much more general settlement under the early Byzantine rule. A great temple rose on the summit of the mound, and a town with broad colonnaded streets was laid out below. By what name it was known Is uncertain. It fell at last Into ruins, was again used for mean habitations by mediaeval Arabs, and then was abandoned to the jackals. The explorations so far made have let In a flood of light on the darkness of the southern Hittltes and enriched science with most important monuments of a rare claBS, whose publicationwill excite the keenest- interest of ancient historlaus. Would that we were better able to read the new inscriptions, of which, whether In relieved or Incised characters, over half a hundred had been found before I left Carchemish, and more yet, as well as new and finer sculptures, have been brought to light by my successor. Autumn now finds us with no lack of variety in the matter of cereals that can be eaten without further cooking after they leave the factory, but they are alike in one detail, If in no other. The package once opened they quickly grow flabby and tasteless and tough, unless restored by careful drying In the oven for a few minutes. One way out there is. Keep your packages on the shelf above the kitchen range or on a*radiator. The contents will remain crisp and delicious and be truly "ready to serve" without risk of that scorching in the oven which always happens when we forget for only a moment. By the way, the sudden emergency that finds us looking for bread or cracker crumbs for dipping cutlets or croquettes, only to find the Jar empty, will lose its sharpness it we have a box of cnsp "flakes" of any sort These, crumbled between the hands, make a most delicate substitute for bread or cracker crumbs, be the need one lor coating food that is to be fried or for the top of scallops and pates. For the latter use don't forget to dot liberally with butter. They are especially tempting with creamed fish or sweetbreads when served in scallop shells. If your supply of crumbs for dipping be linJted, instead of nutting them in a dish have them on a sheet of clean brown paper. Each time a chop or cutlet is laid on them to be coated the paper can be lilted at the sides and the crumbs tumbled toward the middli. Moreover, the use of paper for this purpose saves the washing of an extra dish, f o r flouring fish try the same labor saving device, dropping the paper in the fire when it has served its turn. WEAK, ILL AND MISERABLE. MAKING ART OF NECESSITY "New Dish Every Day" Rule Made by Young Housewife, and Strictly Adhered to. "A new dish every day" was the selfimposeci rule of a young wife who found herself in possession of a cozy home and plenty of .time. The odd part of the decision was that she never cooked before in her life, but the shining new kitchen was an inspiration she could not resist, much to the delight of her husband and friends. She purchased several of the best cook books on the market, preparatory to laying a scientific foundation for her culinary education. She studied ingredients and proportions, and she uaunted newsstands for papersand magazines publishing recipes. In the end she developed into a real wizard of things culinary, and she formed a perfect passion for developing original dainties that would have sent the most blase epicures into an ecstacy of enjoyment. She had discovered that possibilities of food combinations arc practically Inexhaustible, and so is trill pursuing the rule of "something new every day," a rule entailing very little extra work and lots of enjoyment.

One of the most important elements In the success of a room designed to bo beautiful In structure and color scheme as a whole, is tho floor. Whether it is to be a more or less elaborate parquet floor, or one made simply of plain boards it must be in harmony with the color chosen for the wood trim of the room. Also, It must invariably be darker than the woodwork, it the effect of restfulness is to be preserved. A floor that strikes a higher note of color than the woodwork above it, even if it be otherwise harmonious in tone, gives the room a top-heavy, glaring effect that no furniture or decoration will remove. Also, it should be unobtrusive. If a plain, hardwood floor serves as a background for rugs not only should the floor be darker than the rest of the room, but the choice of rugs should be governed by the same requirement.

MUNYGN TELLS YOU HOW TO GET WELL FREE OF CHARGE "A few days ago I received a letter from a young man, who states be ia 28 years of age, and has occupied several in^portant positions, but owing to Indigestion and inability to sleep he has been "unable to concentrate his mind upon his work and has consequently been discharged on the ground of neglect of duty. He goes on to say that he is a young man of steady habits, but for years he has suffered from dyspepsia, which has so affected his nerves that he is unable to sleep, and that it is not neglect upon his part, nor lack of interest in the business, but simply physical weakness. He asks my advice In this matter. "For the benefit of a large number of those BtaHarfy situated I propose to answer this letter publicly, hoping that It may be the means of helping many who may be affected in this way. "In the first place, the stomach must be made well before the nerves can be xnade strong. The nerves must be made strong before one can sleep well. No one is capable of doing his best who is in any way troubled with Insomnia or any form of nervousness. The greatest generals have been men of iron nerve and Indomitable will. They have had perfect digestion, being able to eat well, and digest ail they ate. "It is said that Napoleon lost the battle of.JFftterJjQQ,- because at a. fit of indigestlon.

"Pres. Taft is another type of healthy manhood. Who thinks for one moment that he would be the President of the "United States today had he been a dyspeptic or affected with some nervous ailment? . I claim that two-thirds of all the failures in professional and business life are due to weak and deranged stomachs. "No business house would care to employ a dyspeptic representative to sell poods for them on the road. One-half the men who stand behind counters today, earning from $12 to $15 a week, will never get beyond these figures, for the Teason that they are physically weak. They lack the nerve power and commanding strength that come from a good, sound stomach. **No one cares to hear a dyspeptic preacher. No matter how pious he may be, he Is bound to reflect his bilious and Jaundiced condition. He will unconsciously inoculate his hearers with his melancholy feelings. "No one would think of entrusting an Important legal case in the hands of a dyspeptic lawyer, any more than he would care to entrust his own life, or that of a dear one, in the hands of a physician who is nervous, Irritable or a dyspeptic Men must have good digestion, strong nerves and vital manhood In order to render a clean, clear-out decision either In medicine, law or business. "I believe that more than half of the divorces can be traced to ill health. I want every dyspeptic to try my stomach treatment, for it corrects nearly all forms of indigestion and nervousness. It makes oldnstomacha almost as Rood as new. Its marvelous power for digesting food and getting the best out of it makes for good rich, red blood. This, in turn, strengthens the nerves, builds up the general system, and will surely prolong life and make it a pleasure to live and do the things allotted to us."

NORTON, Michigan Experiment Station Calves Being Raised for Breeding Stock Should Be Kept Healthy and Growthy, Not Fat. The calf may be allowed to suck its dam a few times or for the first day or so, but should (hen be put in a separate pen. If the calf is strong and the cow's udder is in good condition, it la best to separate them the first of second day. If the calf is weak, it is better to leave it with the cow, as it will feed oftener and grow stronger, or if the_jrow's udder is inflamed, the calf will helpsto bring It back to proper condition. In any case the calf should be given the first milk or colostrum, as it has a stimulating and corrective effect upon the system. The first few days it is best to feed the calf three times a day, though it is not absolutely necessary. The milk should be fed in a clean pail, directly after milking, while still at body temperature. For an averr. ;e sized calf, weighing 70 to 75 pour, i at birth, 8 to 10 pounds a day, divu. d equally between the feeding pericc. begin with. The a. increased gradually taken to avoid over-feeding. At end of two weeks the calf may , is sufficient to ount fed should be and great care the be given 12 to 16 pounds daily, divided equally between the morning and night feeds. In case scours develop, the feed should be reduced immediately, cutting down at least one-half, and, if necessary; medical treatment resorted to. The time for beginning the substitution \ot skim milk in place of the whole milk will vary, depending upon condition. Whole milk feeding is necessarily- expensive, and should trot be continued longer than necessary to produce good results. When feeding for dairy heifers to be kept and grown on the farm, the skim-milk supply may begin at two or three weeks of age, but where it is desired to produce heavier weights at an early age, it is better to feed whole milk up to four or five weeks before starting the substitution. The change should be made gradually so that the calf's stomach may adjust itself to the different conditions without trouble. Begin by placing one pound of whole milk with an equal amount of skim-milk at each feed the first day, and replace two pounds, the second day, and so on. The amount of skimmed milk may be increased to 20 pounds per day, bue more than this is not profitable. When it is two or three weeks old the calf can be taught to eat a little grain by throwing 4 handful in the pall after it has finished drinking the milk. The grain should not be put in the milk as the calf will swallow it with the milk without much mastication and it will not be properly digested. The calf will soon) learn to look for the grain, and at five or six weeks of age should be eating a pound or so a day. A good grain mixture for feeding in this way may be made of three parts of corn meal, three parts ground oats, one part bran and one part oil cake, by weight and the amount fed should be increased gradually so as to allow from one-half to one pound per 100 pounds weight of the calf. This is liberal feeding, and should keep the calf In good condition and give good gains. Lighter feeding may be followed in many cases with good results and less cost, as in raising dairy heifers on the farm. Hay feeding should be started along with the grain. Alfalfa, if it is available, or good, bright clover hay of fine quality, is best for calves. It is a good plan at haying time to select some of the best and finest of the clover and put it aside, especially for • ^ CURRANT AND GOOSEBERRY B r O. I. GREGG, Aatiitant Hortieoltorist Mte&igia Agricultural College The currant and gooseberry, commonly known as grossels, are among the Important Bmall fruits to be grown on every farm or small fruit garden. Their care is simple and for this reason are not given as careful attention as they really should have In order to get good results. For a farmer's fruit garden one dozen plants of each is generally sufficient, as they are but little used fresh, their principal use being for preserves and jelly. They are rather easily propagated. The young shoots one foot in length If planted deep in a nursery row in late fall so that their tips are above ground a large proportion will take root the following season and can be permanently planted the second spring. They should be planted 4x5 feet, and better 6x6 feet apart. They should be kept cultivated throughout the summer similarly to raspberries. They thrive in a cool, rather damp soil, and a heavy soil is mnch better than a light soil. Unlike the brambles the grossels have small fruit spurs on old wood which produce fruit year after year. They also bear fruit on the previous season's growths from lateral buds. On this account the pruning of the grossels is entirely different from that of the other small fruits. But little pruning is necessary the first few years. After four years of growth, however, they should bo craned regularly stary year. I n ' pruning all branches over four years I of age should be removed, at these become too old to form good large fruit At the tame time all branches rjtaz oa the around, those attacked with borers, broken or interlacing Jptaefeee. should be, removed. There that Tbeee should be reaored exeept calf feeding. Alfalfa and the clovers, especially the former, are very rich in protein, the most essential element for growth and development of the body. Hay feeding should be increased gradualTy^^ tHte-the-gTa.in^Jmtthe-calveamay be fed all they will eat up clean. Silage and rootsjmay be included in the ration with good results, but should not be fed until the skim-milk ration is well established, and should be dropped from the feed In case scours develop. Fall calves may be turned on grass in the spring as soon as possible, but some grain feeding should be continued even then, depending upon the condition of the pasture. The calves should have access to water after they are three or four months old, as the milk furnished will not be sufficient for them to drink, and during hot weather, especially, they will drink considerable quantities of water in addition to the milk. three or four of the best and strongest ones left distributed about the bush to take the place of some old branch that is to be taken out soon. An ideal currant or gooseberry bush should, therefore, be symmetrical, made up of two or three shoots four years old, the same number of threeyear- old branches and possibly more of one or two-yea* shoots to allow for an extra number that might be broken or diseased. If properly taken care of, cultivated, pruned and supplied with a mulch of manure each year, a sure crop will result There are several varieties, but among currants the London Market is a very prolific, hardy and desirable variety and although not as large as the cherry currants, as Fays Prolific, is as desirable SB any variety. Among the gooseberries the Downing takes the lead, being planted more extensively in Michigan than all other varieties put together. Ploek Should Be Well Fed In Fall. The success of the lamb crop in the spring depends a great deal upon the health of the flock during the breeding season and upon the condition in which they go into the winter feeding pens. Good condition can be assured by furnishing some succulent-pasture, such as rape, during the season when pastures are dry and bare. This has been done in some places by seeding rape in the oats at such a time that It will produce forage in the oat stubble after harvest. •elect Seed Corn Before Cutting. The best time to select seed core is while the corn it still standing in the field. At that time not only the ear but the stalk can be seen and the maturity an* character of the whole plant can be judged. A liberal quantity of ears shoukl be selected to allow for those which will be discarded by the termination test in the spring.

"ECZEMA ITCHED SO BADLY I COULDN'T STAND IT." "I suffered with eczema on my neck for about six months, beginning by little pimples breaking out. 1 kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about a month, then I went to a doctor and got some liquid to take. It seemed as if I was going to get better. The itching stopped#for about three days, but when it started again, was even worse than before. The eczema itched so badly I couldn't stand it any more. "I went to a doctor and he gave me some medicine, but didn't do any good. We have been having Cuticura Remedies in the house, so I decided to try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so I got me a box of Cuticura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times a day, and then put t*e Cuticura Ointment on. The first day I put it on, it relieved me of itching so I could sleep all that night. It took about a week, then I could see the scab come off. I kept the treatment up for three weeks, and my eczema was cured. "My brother got his face burned with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

HEALTH AS AN INVESTMENT Fraternal Orders, Labor Unions and Insurance Companies Erect Tuberculosis Sanitoria. As an investment in the health of their members, four large fraternal orders, two-international labor unions aud ono of the largest insurance companies In the United States have esliehed sanitoria for the treatment of tuberculosis, according to a statement issued by the National Association for the Study and- Preventrdn of Tuberculosis. The Royal League, the first fraternal order to establish a sanatorium, conducts a hospital for its tuberculosis members at Black Mountain. The Modern Woodmen of America conduct one at Colorado Springs; the Workmen's Circle, one at Liberty, N. Y., and the Independent Order of Foresters have one at Rainbow Lake, N. Y., and will soon open a second one at San Francisco, Cal. The International Typographical union has since 1898 conducted a sanatorium at Colorado Springs, and the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of America has recently opened a new institution at Rogersvllle, Tenn. A leading life insurance company is now erecting a sanatorium at Mt. McGregor, N. Y„ which will be the first of Its kind established by an "old line" insurance company. The Simple Life.

One day, when I found them sitting, one on each side of the fire, the old man said to me: "Well, t' missis and me, we've been married nigh on 50 years, and we've never had one quarrel." The old woman looked at me, with a twinkle in her eye, and said: "It war verle conscientious, but varie dool."—Youth's Companion.. The Moderation of Jael. Jael justified herself.

Some complaint has come regarding the giving of half the road in case of an automobile coming up behind a team. The parties claim that when they come up behind a fellow with a team he stubbornly refuses to give any of the road, no matter if there is plenty of room to tarn oat. Now the law recognizes the right of both the man with the team and the man with an auto, and these rights should be respected. There are plenty of men who are running autos who should be driving ox teams and vice versa, bat all men should not be treated that way. \ The law says that when a man is overtaken by a fasler vehicle, the man diiving the slower vehicle shall tarn oat and give half of the beaten path.

It is simplicity itself—even a boy can operate and care for the Cartercar without injuring it in the least. This wonderful simplicity combined with extra strong working parts insure absolute reliability. The Cartercar is ready all the time—day or night—for the signal to go. The Cartercar is powerful—by that is meant that it will climb almost any hill, even a 50 per cent grade, and will g o throdghvery bad, muddy or sandy roads- The farmer can drive his Cartercar out in stubble fields, or pastures, across brooks, and he knows that his car will always go right along. The remarkable pulling power of the Cartercar is because of the efficient friction transmission. This is merely a friction disc which runs against a fibre-laced wheel— the relative position regulating the speed of the car. There is no crashing of gears— the speed being changed easily and noiselessly. The Cartercar driver has any number of speeds and THEY ARE ALL CONTROLLED BY ONE LEVER. The Cartercar will speed along brushing everything on the road—or will creep along behiud a flock of sheep or drove of cattle, uever crowding or rushing them. This wonderful easy control makes the Cartercar ideal for the ladies to drive. The few parts make it very easy for them to learn to operate it—and prevents them getting frightened. Tbe easy control is supplemented by very strong brakes. In addition to these regular brakes the driver also has the friction reverse, which makes it the safest car on the market today. The t'rictiou reverse is only available on friction driven cars. Another excellent feature of the Cartelcar is the Chain-lD-OU Drive^ The chain runs continually in a heavy oil—and the chain case being grit and sand tight, practically all wear on the chain is prevented. The elegance and remarkably attractive appearance of the Cartercar also makes a very strong appeal to the farmer. A glance at the above cut will conviuce you of its beauty. The extra heavy upholsteriug on the seats makes it almost an impossibility for a person to tire while riding in the Cartercar. Think over these facts we have 'given and see if they answer the requirements you would 'make of an automobile. We know that when you understand the Cartercar you will be as enthusiastic as we are. Let us send you complete information regarding this ideal car for the country man. v A Personal Invitation to Y o u , M r . Farmer — I want to personlly invite every reader of this advertisement to visit me here at the Detroit Branch of the Cartercar Company, and I will be very glad to explain carefully every detail of the Cartercar construction. I met thousands of farmers at the State Fair and after [ had shown them -the Cartercar an astonishingty large number of them went home with cars.

I returned to America a year and a half ago, after an absence of twelve years In Europe. I stopped In New, York at a hotel opposite Grace church, and after securing quarters I walked up Broadway to Fourteenth street. It •as the midday meal hour, and the streets were thronged with all sorts and conditions of men, and yet not one word of English did I hear spoken from Tenth to Fourteenth streets. The first impression stunned me and I found myself in a dazed condition, unable to adjust myself to my surroundings, and actually doubting the reality of the scene about me. I walked on to Union square. The benches were full of men and women; and as I passed by them I listened, but no werd of our national tongue did I hear, and I returned to my hotel wondering what it all meant. The next day was Sunday and I spent the afternoon In Bronx park. I arrived by the Third Avenue elevated, entered at the eastern gate and walked through the park to the Botanical gardens. The park was full of people, young and old. I asked my way six times and in every case save one was answered in a foreign voice, and in two cases in a foreign tongue. Even the officials, those at least to whom 1 spoke, were of foreign origin.—Monroe Royce, "The Passing of the American."

For some years tne tendency of young men seeking higher education ha* been toward law and medicine. Schools of these professions have Increased in number and the Held* ol occupation have become more overcrowded, says the Omaha Bee. Certain1 new tendencies In Industry and the science of treating human Ills are at work which suggest the possibility of a change in the drift of the educational current. Public and private enterprise are enlisted in a movement to work out new cures for old deseases and Improve sanitation throughout the country. Vast progress has been, and more will be, made. Along with this, though distinctly apart from it, goes the effort of the government and private capital to harness nature for the needs of Industry; to open up Irrigation and water-power plants for agricultural and Industrial purposes. The New York Times invites to the new fields of scientific service the attention of young men contemplating finished educations. They are. undoubtedly, prolific of opportunities. What will the effect be In these two channels? Will the current be diverted from law and medicine to that of technical or sanitary engineering? How rapidly the aeroplane Is becoming practically useful Is shown by the plan of the English poBtoffice department to Install Immediately an aerial post between London and Windsor and the report that the French postal officials intend to employ the hydroaeroplane for delivering mall from incoming steamships, says the Chicago Record-Herald. Not more than two years ago men of affairs and scientists eaw little possibility of the heavierthan- alr machines becoming more than a means of sport There seems not much to be gained in time In sending letters by aeroplane between London and Windsor, but the experiment will doubtless lead to the establishment of other lines If successful. The distance Is only 21 miles, and It Is expected that the trip will take about half an hour. A railway express train could travel as quickly. As regards the transfer of malt rrom steamships, there seem greater possibilities; several hours may be gained.

ITALY STRIKES FIRST BLOW IN WAR WITH TURKEY WHIPS TURKS IN FIRST FIGHTING TAKING THREE TOWNS TRIPOLI, BENGHAZI AND PREVESA ARE SEIZED AND TURKISH VESSELS ARE DESTROYED AND DRIVEN ASHORE T U R K E Y FAILED TO MEET DEMANDS MADE UPON IT IS. ITALIAN REASoKl FOR WAR. TURKEY SENT CONCILIATORY REPLY; EVADING DIRECT ANSWER. Time of Hostilities Dates From 2:30 Friday Afternoon, at the End of the 24-Hour Ultimatum Sent Turkey. Actual hostilities have opened. T h e Italians h a v e landed a t Tripoli and Benghazi, which Is 4 2 0 miles e a i t of Tripoli.

According to reports from United States Consul Charles Adams Holden of Rouen the much discussed project of establishing a train ferry service between Dieppe, France, and New haven, Eng., Is soon to become an accomplished fact At present passengers and freight are transferred from the railway oars to steamers, transported across the English channel, and. again loaded on the railway. By having ferry steamers on which an entire train could be transported, all the annoyance, expense and waste ol time could be avoided. Italy has declared war on Turkey. The official announcement was made late Friday. It declared that the two countries were in a state of war beginning at half-past 2 o'clock on the afternoon of Friday, Sept, 29. This is the hour at which the Italian ultimatum to Turkey expired. The announcement followed a session of the cabinet at which the Turkish reply was considered and found unsatisfactory. Italy will provide for the safety of Italians and all other foreigners in Tripoli and Cyrene& using to this end all the means at her disposal. The blockade of the entire coast of Tripoli and Cyrenaica will beu ndertaken Immediately and a notification of this act will be sent to all neutral powers. The Turkish ambassador was given his passports by the Italian government on his request for them just before the official declaration of war. Me had been directed, l>y_h]s_soj£exnj_ nTeiiT to ileniandthem. Though every indication pointed to to n declaration of war by the_..royal government, there was always a possibility that the good offices of other governments would be ruccessful in averting hostilities, and when the final decision of the cabinet was announced the excitement throughout the country was intense. Signor Dl San Glulano, minister of state, received the Turkish reply from the Turkish ambassador and immediately went into conference with his associates in the ministry. It is understood 'the Ottoman government completely conceded Italy's economic claims In Tripoli, but evaded the direct answer demanded by this government, which had set forth in its ultimatum that Turkey must say that she would not resist the proposed occupation of Tripoli and Cyrene. Instead the porte sent a conciliatory note suggesting further delay. It was known that at the same time Turkey transmitted a note to the powers in which it is assumed that she represented herself as the injured party, and, by inference at least, sought their Intervention. The royal government decided to stand absolutely by the ultimatum, Rnd in the absence of the reply called for, to declare Italy and Turkey in state of war from the hour that the 24 hours allowed expired.

He sent a telegram to President de la Barra, in which he said he was leaving Mexico for the good of the country, as he believed that there was much more chance of peace if he were absent. He added that he desired that his party continue its organization as he expected to return to Mexico in good time. Warns iowans of Business Perils. President Taft faced the middle west with, an appeal to check unjust prejudice against the business enterprise of the country. In an address in Waterloo on the relation of the government to the business of the country which he delivered here late this afternoon before an outdoor audience of several thousand people, the president said that the people of every section and class of this country were all in the same boat, and that to persist in sectional vindictiveness against the prosperity of another section of the country WQuld enforce business prostration throughout the land as surely as night follows day. "We are all tossed by the same waves," he cautioned them. FLASHES FROM WIRE. LATEST WAR DEVELOPMENTS. Tripoli is being bombarded. Turkish garrison flees.

BURST3 ONE MILE NORTH OF AUSTIN, PA. NEARLY 1,000 ARE DEAD, 2,000 PERSONS ARE HOMELESS. Fire, Sweeps the Ruins and Scores That Were Spared by the Rushing Torrents Are Buried Alive. Austin, a town of 3,200 residents, in the northern part of Pennsylvania, was swept out of existence and more than S00 of its people were killed by a flood which followed the breaking of the Bayless Pulp & Paper company's dam, a mile and a half north of the town. Almost 500,000,- 000 gallons of water rushed over the place in a wall 10 feet high, wrecking every structure in its path. The bursting of scqres of natural gas mains, as the buildings were swept away, added fire to the general horror of the flood, and hundreds of those imprisoned in the wreckage were burned to death. The catastrophe paralleled in many respects the destruction by flood of Johnston, Pa., in 1889. in which over 2,000 lives were lost. The extent of the loss of life and the destruction of~ property cannorbXTTnown for several days. The property loss will surely be several millions of dollars. The food supplies of the town were destroyed and immediate aid to survivors was urgent. Hundreds of those who escaped were seriously injured in the collapse of their homes and the panic of the rush for safety. Within an hour of the first general knowledge of the calamity, special trainB bearing physicians, nurses and food supplies were on the way to the scene. Hundreds of automobiles bearing rescuers also toiled over the rough and tortuous«, mountain roads to lend aid. Temporary hospitals were fitted up in nearby farm houses and improvised structures fashioned from the wreckage. The Red Cross also made preparations for immediate ^id to survivors. The intense heat of fire sweeping from the natural gas mains made it impossible for rescuers to visit the scene of destruction for many hours, Looters were among the first on the ground and Governor Tener dispatched a large force of state police to the town to protect the victims. A telephone .message from Austin estimates the loss of life at 1,000. The dam held back a huge mass of water. It was 530 feet Ions. 49 feet high and 32 feet at the base and was of concrete. On January 21, 1909, a crack was noticed in the dam. Then_JOllQWed » TPBIT anH pnrHotmthe dam moved 16 inches. Repairs were made, but the fears of many that the repairs were "not stable were realized when the break came. «*--, To Boost Upper Peninsula. If the resources of the upper peninsula are not well known throughout the whole country within the next year, it will not be the fault of those 200 boosters who were the guests of the Board of Commerce, of Detroit. Word has just reached Detroit that" they have raised a big sum of money to be expended In,, advertising the northern peninsula, The boosters have had the soil of the upper peninsula thoroughly examined by the state geogolist and by other authorities. As a result they have learned that there are over seven million acres of fertile land there. They are not going to let this matter remain a secret. The Upper Peninsula Development Bureau, whose president is T. A. Green of Ontonagon, and whose manager is T. E. Quinby, is raising $50,- 000 to exploit their country. Practically all this amount has been raised and plans have been perfected for a big display of the products of northern Michigan at the Chicago land show. All Big Copper Mines to Merge.

McCarty is Beaten In S»n Francisco by James Rclph, Open Shop Man. James Rolphr "open shop" candidate of San Francisco, was elected mayor at the primary election by an overwhelming majority, wtih a total vote of about 75,000. According toearly returns Rolph has secured 55,- 000, while Mayor McCarthy's vote isless than 20,000. It was charged against McCarthy's: administration that he has gone to* extremes in his liberal views and that San Francisco is too much of an "open town" from the point of view of amusement and entertainment. Dearly as San Franciscans love their night life features, their cafes,, dance halls and tenderloin freedom it is held by many that McCarthy has overdone the matter in making San Francisco "The Paris of America." Another argument advanced against McCarthy—and this is doubtless the chief one—is that the rule oi the unions has become so autocratic that capital has become tintfid. Following the religious movement started in Grand Rapids, 3,000 employes in different factories, offered prayers during lunch hour for the success of the men. THE MARKETS I I V K STOCK.

Jack Keith, a Virginian, now a bor- |<der plainsman, 1s riding along the Santa Fe trail on the lookout for roaming war parties of aavagea. He notices a camp fire at a distance and then sees a team Attached to a wagon and at full g*au°P pursued by men on ponies. When Keith reaches the wagon the raiders have massacred two men and departed. He searches the victiiys finding papers and a locket with a woman's portrait He resolves to hunt down the murderers. Keith la arrested at Carson City, charged with the murder, hJs accuser being a ruffian named Black Bsyt He goes to Jail fully realising the iierll of swift border Justice. A •companion 1n his cell Is a negro, who tells him he Is Neb and that he knew the Keith family back in Virginia. 'Neb says one of the murdered men was John Sibley, the other Gen. Willis Walte. formerly aij officer in the Confederate army. The plainsman and Neb escape from the •cell, and later the two fugitives become lost in the sand desert. They come upon A cabin and find its lone occupant to be a young girl, whom Keith recognises as a singer he saw at Carson City. The girl explains that she came there In search of a brother who had deserted from the army. A Mr. Hawley Induced her to come to .the cabin while ha sought.„to.jQr cats tier brottrer.Hawley appears, ai.i Keith In hiding recognizes him as Black Bart- Hawley tries to make love to the girl. There is a terrific battle In the darkened room in which Keith overcomes Black Bart. Horses are appropriated, and the girl who says that her name is Hope, Joins in the escape. Keith explains his situation and the fugitives make for Fort learned. CHAPTER X I I I . - ( C o n t i n u e d . ) It was noon, the sun pitiless and not above them, before they straggled •within the partial shelter of the sand <iunee, and sank wearily down to their meager lunch. Their supply of water -was limited, and the exhausted ponies must wait until J h e y reached the river t o quench their t h i r s t Yet this was Tery far off now, and Keith had seen •enough of their surroundings to locate the position of the ford. Slow as they must proceed, three hours more would •urely bring them to the bank of the -stream. They discussed their plans briefly as t h e . t h r e e Bat together on t h e warm sand, revived both by the food and the brief rest. There was not a great deal to be determined, /only where the girl should be left, and how the two men had better proceed t o escape observation. Fort Lamed was the nearest and safest place for their charge, none of the party expressing any desire to adventure themselves within the immediate neighborhood of Carson City. What her future platrnrmighr^bewerenot revealed, and Keith forebore any direct questioning. His duty plainly ended with placing her in a safe environment, and he felt convinced that Mrs. Murphy, of the Occidental Hotel, would furnish room, and, if necessary, companionship. The sole problem remaining— after she had rather listlessly agreed to such an arrangement— was to so plan the details as to permit t h e negro and himself to slip through t h e small town clustered about the post without attracting undue attention. No doubt, the story of their escape had already reached there, embellished by telling, and serious trouble might result from discovery. Keith was surprised at the slight Interest she exhibited In these arrangements, merely signifying her acquiescence by a word, but he charged It to physical •weariness, and the reaction from her night of peril; yet he took pains to •explain fully his plan, and to gain her consent This finally settled, they mounted again and rode on through the lanes traversing the sand dunes, keeping tieaded as straight as possible toward the river. The ford sought was some miles down stream, but with the horses' thirst mitigated, they made •excellent progress, and arrived at the spot early in the evening. Not in all the day had they encountered a living object, or seen a moving thing amid the surrounding desolation. Now, looking across to the north, a few gleaming lights told, of Fort Lamed perched upon the opposite bluffs. - i* . .*•» CHAPTER XIV. The Landlady of the Occidental. Keith had crossed at this point so frequently with cattle that, once having his bearings, the blackness of the night made very little difference. Nevertheless, In fear lest her pony might stumble over some irregularity, he gave bit own rein to Neb, and went forward on foot, grasping firmly the tired animal's bit It was a long etreteh of sand and water extending from bank to bank, but the water was shallowr the only danger being that of straying off from the more solid bottom into quicksand. With a tower* teg eottonwood as guide, oddly misshapen and standing out gauntly against the slightly lighter sky, the plainsman led on unhesitatingly, until they began to climb the rather sharp uplift of the north bank, Bare there was a plain trail, pounded into smooth* ness by the hoofs of cavalry horses ridden down to water, and at the sum- Bftft they emerged within fifty yards of the stables. , The few lights risible,; some stationary, with others dancing about like wJfroVtbe-wiaps, revealed tmperfectlj tJis, contour jsf various buildings, but Keittturned sharply to the right an*. Sens to alio past without betag coal* tengsdtr* sentry.^ Beyond the brwv •**** atu* wlber lights visible, flickering here and there, marking where a straggling town had sprung up under the protection of the post—a town garish enough in the daylight, composed mostly of shacks and tents, but now with its deficiencies mercifully concealed by the enveloping darkness. The trail, easily followed, led directly along its single street, but Keith circled the outskirts through a wilderness of tin-cans and heaps of other debris, until he halted bis charges beside the black shadow of the only two-story edifice in the place. This was the Occidental, the hospitality of which he had frequently tested. A light streamed from out the front windows, but, uncertain who might be harbored within. Keith tapped gently at the back door. It was not opened immediately, and when it was finally shoved aside the merest crack, interior. The voice which spoke, however, was amply sufficient to Identify its owner. "Is that ye agin, Murphy, a playln' av yer dirthv thricks?" "No, Mrs. Murphy," he hastened to explain, "this is Keith—Jack Keith, of the 'Bar X.' " "The Lord deliver u s ! " was the instant exclamation, the door opening wide. "They do be afther tellin* me to-night av the throuble ye was In over at Carson, an' 01 fought maybe ye m eight turn up _thisjwayJ__ _lL_waSturn up huntln' her. Ol'd loike ter take one slap at the spalpane." Fully convinced as to Mrs. Murphy's good-will, Keith slipped back Into the darkness, and returned with the girl. Introductions were superfluous, as the mistress of the Occidental cared little' regarding ceremony. "An* is this you, my dear?" she burst out, endeavoring to curb her voice to secretive softness. "Shure, Jack Keith has told me all about it, an' it's safe it 1B yer goin' ter be here. Come on In; Oi'll give ye number forty-two, thet's next behint me own room, an' we'll go up the back sthalrs. Hilp the young loldy, Jack, fer shure ye know the way." She disappeared, evidently with some hospitable purpose in view, and Keith, clasping the girl's hand, undertook the delicate task of safely escorting her through the dark kitchen, and no_glow oi light revealed the dari»ned\l.up_the_.dimly-r«me a word or two passed between them, but as they neared the second story a light suddenly streamed out through the opened door of a room at their left Mrs. Murphy greeted them at the landing, and for the first time saw the girl's weary white face, her eyes filled with appeal, and the warm Irish heart responded instantly. 'he poor little lamb; It's the bid ye want, an' a dhrap o' whiskey. Jaqk Keith, why didn't ye till me she was done up wld the hard ride? Here, honey, sit down in the rocker till 01 _get_.ye._a. wee dhrlnk. It'll,, bring: t h e 'Shure It's Safe It Is Ver Qoln' Ter Be Here." a nate trick ye played on the lolkes av *em, Jack, but this is a dom poor place fer ye ter hide in. Bedad, there's a hatf-dosen in the parly now talkie' about It, wld a couple av officers from the fort Is the nager wld yef* "Yes, but we have no intention.of hiding here. I'd rather take my chance in the open. The fact is, Kate, we started off for the "Bar XL'" MAv course, ye did; 01 was shuro av It" "But down on the Salt Fork we ran across a young girl whom Black Bart had Inveigled down that way on a lie. We bad a bit of a fight and got her away from him. This Is what brought us back here—to put the girl where she will be safe out of his clutches." The door was wide open now, and Mrs. Murphy outside, her Interest at fever heat "Ye had a folght wid Black Bart! Oh, ye divil! An' ye licked the dlrthy spaipane, an' got away wld his gyurlt Glory be! And would 01 take her? Well, 01 would. Niver doubt that me bye. She miry be the quane av Shaba, an' the may be a Digger Injun Squaw, but the lolkes av him had better kape away from Kate Murphy. It's glad Of am ter do It! Bring her In. 01 don't want ter hear, no more." "Just a word. Kate; I don't know whether ahe has any money or not, but HI pay her bill, as soon ss H is safe for me to come back." .. -1 "Oh, the dim take bet btlL nave the best In the house, annyi anv Ofttt only nopia' that fellow roses back to the cheeks av ye." She was gone, bustling down the dark stairs, and the two were alone in the room, the girl looking up Into his face, her head resting against the cushioned back of the chair. He thought he saw a glimmer of tears in the depths of her lash-shaded eyes, and her round white throat seemed to choke. "You will be perfectly secure here," he said, soothingly, "and can remain as long as you please. Mrs. Murphy will guard you as though you were her owu daughter. She is a bit rough, maybe, but a big-hearted woman, and despises Hawley. She nursed me ouce through a touch of typhoid—yes, by Jove," glancing about in sudden recognition, "and in this very room, too." The girl's glance wandered over the plain, neat furnishings, and the rather pathetic attempts at decoration, yet with apparently no thought for them. "You—you have not told me where you were going." He laughed, a little uneasily, as though he preferred to make light of the whole matter. "Really, I have hardly decided, the world is so wide, and I had no reason to suppose you interested." "But I am interested," resenting his tone of assumed Indifference. "I would not want to feel that our acquaintance was to wholly end now." "Do you really mean that?" "Why should I not? You have been a real friend to me; I shall remember you always with a gratitude beyond words. I want you to know this, and that—that I shall ever wish to retain that friendship." Keith struggled with himself, doubtful of what he had best say, swayed by unfamiliar emotions. •, "You may be sure I shall never forget," he blurted forth, desperately, "and, if you really wish It, I'll certainly see you again." "I dOj-HBarnestly. "Then, I'll surely n»d a way. I don't know now which direction we will ride, but I'm not going very far until I clear up that murder out yonder on the trail; that is my particular Job just now." Before she could answer, Mrs. Murphy re-entered and forced her to drink the concoction prepared, the girl accepting with smiling protest. The landlady, empty glass In hand, swept her eyes about the room. "Bedad, but the place looks betther than iver Oi'd belaved, wld the gyurl Oi've got tlndln" to it. She's that lazy she goes ter slape swapin' the flure. Jack, would ye moind hllpln' mo move the bid; shure, It's rale mahogany, an" so heavy it breaks me back intoirely to push it 'round." He took -hold -W-llUngly-enoughr-a»d the two together ran the heavy contrivance across the room to the position selected. Once a leg caught In the rag carpet, and Keith lifted It o u t bending low to get a firmer grip. Then he held out his hand to the girl. "It is not going to be good-bye then, Miss Hope; I'll find you." smiled up into his-eycs,' muchr of the weariness gone from her face. "I am going to believe that," she answered, gladly, "because I want to." Mrs. Murphy lingered until his steps sounded on the Btalrs, as ho Blowly felt his way down through the darkness. "He do be a moighty foine bye, Jack Keith," she said, apparently addressing the side wall. "Oi wish Oi'd a knowed him whin 01 was a gyurl; shure, it's not Murphy me noime'd be how, Oi'm t'inkin'." Left alone, the girl bowed her head on her hands, a hot tear stealing down through her Angers. As she glanced up again, something that glittered on the floor beside the bed caught her eyes. She stopped and picked It up, holding the trinket to the light, staring at it as though fascinated. It was the locket Keith had taken from the neck of the dead man at Cimmaron Crossing. Her nerveless fingers pressed the spring, and the painted face within looked up into her own, and still clasping It within her hand, she sank upon her knees, burying her face on the bed. "Where did he get that?" her lips kept repeating. "Where did he ever get that?" (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Chase, of Lansing tfie deputy attorney general, as follows: Act 174 of the public acts of 1911 exempts from taxtation real estate to the value of $1000, used and owned as a homestead by any soldier or sailor of the federal government who served three months or more during the Civil or Mexican war, or such real estate owned by any wife or widow of such soldier or sailor. Where the homestead excedes $1000 in in value, it is exempt only to the amount of $1000. The statue provides that in order to secure such exemption, the requisite affidavit must be filed with the assessing officer. The act also contains a provision to the effect that the exemption shall not operate to release from the payment of taxes any of the persons therein mentioned who are the owners of taxable property of greater value than $3000. Assessments for the present year are of course, made under the old act, as the act of 1911 could not apply to assessment made before 1912. It has been ruled that the exemption applies to a homestead held by a husband and wife on a joint deed.

Primeval forests and pathless tundras revealed but reluctantly their long hidden secrets. Nevertheless, some forty years ago, Russian miners, ever Intrepid in their eastward quest of the precious metal, had reached the auriferous drifts In t h e valley of t h e mighty Amur that rolls from the heart of China grandly down to the lonely Okhotsk sea. After the wonderful Klondike excitement of gold deposits throughout Siberia's over-responding latitudes of similar geological formations lent additional strength to the old tradition that t h e gold-bearing zone extended from Northwestern America to Northwestern Asia and that consequently the further shores of tiering Sea were well- worth prospecting. The first-_shory±ved and barbaric, but, oh! so glorious splendors of Dawson and Nome had begun to pale, when a persistent and seemingly well-authenticated rumor of valuable nuggets having been found along the shores of Northeastern Kamchatka, fanned our smouldering Imagination into brightest flames. there's a race of men that don't lit in; they are alwniya tired of things that be; they want the strange and the new and they don't know how to rest. My dear old "pard," Austin, and I belong to this legion of forelopers, never enlisted and never discharged. The fond hope that we were going to be numbered amongst the original "Forty- Nlriers" of a new California over yonder, " 'crost the bay," lured us from the Yukon even to Siberia— to Vladivostok. There wo were joined by a kindred spirit, a young Russian mining engineer, Ivan Ivanovitch— soon enough he became plain Jack—fresh from an American college and ready for adventure. Kamchatka, dependency of the maritime province and administrative district ot Petronavlovsk, has been a Russian colony for over 200 years. From Cape Lopatka, the large peninsula's southmost point, lofty mountains, overtopped by many active and more extinct volcanoes, stretch northward far into the Arctic waste. On the northeast coast, there where the moun- -tain chain recedea-QvexJthlrty mUeAJtom-the-low. ^£^^£^ "7XJ* JfO&TffM&ll Mi(/ttTc5 mediately before us are seen the snowdiademed mountain monarchs, robed in majestically flowing folds of glacial ermine— far behind the heaving billows of the ocean, aglitter in the evening sun—while all around is Siberia's virgin forest, the taiga, silent, untrodden, mysterious. Owing to widely divergent conditions Siberia's fauna is not uniformly distributed, but within their chosen haunts animals are abundant. Of big game w e have on the Pankara the agile,1 keen-eyed mountain sheep and ...the""powerful brown bear, Rocky mountain sheep are here replaced by congeners of slighter build, more slender horns and pure white color- Their bands. Makes Good 42"CAGO spend most of the time above timber, remaining even during the severe Kamchatka winter amongst the heights whose irregularities of cliffs and gorges afford opportunity for shelter and exposed food supply. Sometimes when w e had nearly stalked them the warning whistle of the watchful marmot would drive them to headlong flight ThPir tlpsh is very palatahle^ when littoral, the Pankara enters the sea, opposite to the large island of Karaginsk. A gloomily beautiful thundercloud overshadowed the densly wooded shores when w e landed at Ola, the little Koryak hamlet near the Pankara's mouth. In the course of a few hours our steamer, "Primorsk," had discharged our earthly possessions and the cargo consigned to the local agent of the Russian Chartered Company, who holds the furring privileges of Northeastern Siberia. ' Open-mouthed natives gaped curiously and a thousand hostile-looking dogs snarled viciously. The Natchalnik, however, having minutely scrutinized our papers, received us with open arms, and Father Juvenal, the Pope, offered us the hospitality of his log cabin. We learned many interesting facts about this out-of-the-way neck of the woods that night. The peninsula's mongoloid aborigines, the rapidly decreasing Kamchadales proper—mostly fishermen—dwell around the water courses to the southward. Their northern n e i g h b o r , our friends, the "dog Koryaks," mighty hunters and trappers, 11*79 in log cabins, dug-outs or skin tents, They belong largely to the orthodox church—at least nominally— are good natured and hospitable, but their notions of cleanliness are more than questionable. The occasional sight of our toothbrushes once caused a ric\t of an amazed mob. Both the women and the aln-.ost beardless men alike, braid their hair Into t v o plaits, smoke the cheap Moharka tobacco, intermixed with birch bark, and wear nearly identical dresses of pelts or—in Bummer— gaudy calico. Further on and up to Kamchatka's border, the strictly nomadic "reindeer Koryaks," addicted to weird shamanism, pitch their yourtes wherever good feeding grounds attract their herds. Beyond their territory we find, in the interior, Tunguse tribes, along the seaboard the unconquered race of the Tchuktches, that stoutly refuse the Yassak t o this day. The Pankara h a s a length of about 90 miles. The advanced season and a preliminary examination of accessible rock formation, combined with encouraging reports of white and native residents, prompted u s to prospect the upper valley without delay. The Natchalnik placed the only three pack horses a t omr disposal, rather shaggy, but hardy Irkutsk ponies, able t o shift for themselves even In winter. As guide and helper w e engaged the Koryak, Peter, nicknamed Petrushka-Parsley— from his fondness for this wild p l a n t Petrushka of course was speedily pared down to Pete, a s Ivan has surrendered to Jack long ago. The village of Ola Is happy. A s w e e t fragrance of fish and blubber permeates the air, for seal and salmon were plentiful. Pete, very busy, very important, helps us with our. preparations for the prospecting expedition. The Natchalnik Invites us to a farewell dinner (deer tongue, ptarmigan, smoked and malted fish, much tea and more Vodka) and on the 17th day__ of August we set out. On t h e third night w e are encamped in t h e foothills. . Even here, at the threshold of boreal dreariness nature unfolds a a almost pathetic beauty. Imcold weather set in we killed and froze enougTTter last all winter. The brown bears are of immense size, greatly exceeding the grizzlies of the western hemisphere. Their front claws are shorter, thicker and more abruptly curved than in grizzlies. As a rule they give us a wide berth; in close quarters, however, or when wounded, they are veritable fiends from hell. But Pete attacks them, boldly and unhesitatingly, with his formidable spear. Tradition and training make all natives marksmen of the first order with firearms, bolos and arrows. Even small ermines ancr arctic squirrels stand no chance of escape at seventy-five yards; and the Kovyaks have to shoot them in the head, at that, or their skins would be worthless. The ground was frostbound nearly to the surface, and bedrock, reached by thawing through the icy gravels, w a s t e n to fifteen feet deep. Keeping three fires agofng, for which Pete rustled the wood, we made good headway. Lack of ieverage, however, makes the Russian shovel, which has no bend at its neck, a most unwleldly and exasperating utensil. At the beginning w e struck encouraging colors in addition t o quartz, iron pyrites, often in the form of misplckel and all the products of i t s decomposition such a s magnetic oxide and hematite. Despite these fair prospects we had worked our way up to the veriest headwaters without tangible results early in November. Near the source the soil w a s n o t frozen, due to warm volcanic springs, and sinking to bedrock became impossible. Therefore w e crossed the divide leading southward to the Russakoff river to examine Its course down to t h e sea and finally to sled to headquarters along the shore. On the Russakoff we found the same conditions; tepid springs above, a few colors below, paydirt nowhere. Winter is now upon u s in good earnest; in December our thermometer sinks to 67 below. T h e sheep are safe beyond the snowdrifts; bear, marmot and porcupine have retired for their long sleep; only willow grouse and rock ptarmigan remain with us. Glorious winter stars, clear, large, .unapproachable, glitter on t h e firmament At midnight the ^ Pleiades of Job and Homer flame from the zenith 3 and then the Northern Lights, v i o l e t silvery a n d ^ rose come down and dance with t h e houseless • snow. Christmas e v e finds n s near t h e Russakoffs mouth and o n New Year's day w e drag our sled Into Ola. Just in time; already midwinter sundogs loom ghost-like through the frost-mist in the south; for far to the northward the weatherwitch of the Yaga-Baba Pass has been brewing her dread purga, t h e Siberian snow storm. The blizzard's fury raged forty-eight hours, burytag the roofs of the lowly cabins under mountainous drifts. Quickly t h e late orthodox Christmas-tide approaches. In the morning the entire population— and with them we—attended church, Father Juvenal officiating in full canonicals of black and gold. Before the Russian New Year we were up and away once more. yrcz&arftr^n^^^^om^^^^^^^^^ We had secured two famous teams, each of fourteen big wolfish dogs. We intended to follow the foothills into the interior up to the Alutora river that borders Kamchatka to the north, thence to circle seaward and to use the coast line on our home trip. We reduced our load to the utmost depending on barter for our -ireeds. F e t e T a W ^ a i n r t o o T r - ^ arfcTT the second sled. A bitter cold had succeeded the pnr^a and t h e hard snow-_trail_was in splendid condition. ^ In full career we swept acrors the frozen Karuga, raced through the dog b c l l a m of Kitshlginsk and arrived at night in the Iloryak village of Vivnlksk, some sixty miles distant, on the shores of Baron Korff Bay. Over each of the dugouts was suspended a frozen dog, impaled under the chin on t h e sharp end of a pole, a sacrifice to the Fish God, to insure a good salmon run for the next season. , Next day we reached t h e first Yourtes of t h e wandering reindeer Koryaks. Along t h e Eeaward mountains beyond we commenced against the monotonous toilsome winter routine of northern prospectors. But In the here prevailing sandstone formations we lost even all traces of the yellow metal. After three laborious months, entirely barren of results as far a s gold was concerned, we dipped into t h e valley of t h e Alutora, ultimate northern border of Kamchatka, where the country of the Tchuktches begins. We followed this river to its mouth and {hence slowly worked our way back south trying lower water courses and beach for minerals. Hope awakened us in t h e morning; disappointment bedded us at night. Having learned our lesson we now pay the cost. Nevertheless, we are a happy, vagabondish crew, caring little and knowing less, how the world may plod. The Lure of the Lone Trail seldom pays its soldiers of fortune in cold cash. But there are other glorious compensations. In the glowing health of outdoor life, trail-hardened and the savage strength of brute in every thew, w e have felt the throbbing pulse of life primeval and lain close to the loving heart of our mother, the earth. Thus w e kept on, and one bright Sunday morning in April our ice-worn Nartas drew up with a flourish in front of St. Andrew's little church a t Ola, Just as Father Juvenal was dismissing his fold. We encountered & perfect storm of affectionate, but terrific welcome kisses which w e dodged a t best w e could. The rest of sledding time w e put In prospecting, the upper Karoga which yielded a few colors. From its headwaters w e scaled in May the Yaga-Baba Pass, S.200 feet high, and saw In the far distance the Sea of Okhotsk, agleam in the vernal sunshine. But the "yellow Btones" of native rumor proved slight sulphurous deposits of an ancient crater. After rh^ spring breakup w e salted southward aa far 03 r osslble with a Koryak fishing expedition, examining the shore sands, unearthing nothing, however, except a little souvenir amber. In July, when our old friends, the annual steamer "Primorsk" hove in sight w e camped already o n the beach at Ola, waiting for deliverance. Caressing the rifle we had given him, Pete, faithful to the end, sat sadly beside us, loath t o see us go. B u t Austin's mouth organ is singing softly. We know the tune and we know its words: 'Thank God! when I'm skinned to a finish, 111 pike to the Yukon again; 111 fight and you bet it's no sham fight; It's hell, but I've been there before; And it's better than this, by a damsite—• So me for the Yukon once more!"

The present Is not a bad time to think about carrying these resolves into action. One method where good ice may be obtained at a reasonable distance from a lake or stream is to provide an ice house and ice box or refrigerator. Ice making, though somewhat disagreeable, may be done at a time of the year when other work is slack, and if attacked in the right way is no worse than much other works which must be done. With a bountiful supply of ice, and a refrigerator of sufficient capacity, cold storage may be provided for food and dairy products. It is recommended that a refrigerator of not less th,an 100 pounds capacity ol ice be us,ed for average conditions, and one of from 150 pounds to 200 pounds capacity Will be found to advantage in some cases. The ice box or refrigerator should be easily accessible to the kitchen and dining room, and for filing. If placed so that it may be filled without entering the house a great deal of dirt may be avoided. This is sometimes accomplished by placing the refrigerator on the back porch or in a permanent location where It may be,filled from an outside window. With, regard to Ice storage, an expensive or specially constructed building is not essential. Any room of proper dimensions where good under drainage may be provided, the walls fairly airtight and so arranged that ventilation may be secured above, ice may be stored without great loss from melting. A building designed for this purpose will have several points of advantage, however. In building an ice house the capacity Is the first thing to be considered. Solid Ice weighs about 56 pounds per cubic foot, and stored Ice, allowing for voids between ^akes and layers, averages about 40 "ounds per cubic foot. On this ba? * * a cube of stored ice 10x10x10 feet v ould weigh 20 tons. Assuming a consun />tion of 500 pounds per week, a weight of one ton per month would be consumed, which for six months would be six tons, Considerable allowance must be made for meltage, however, so that It Is safe to say that space for not less than fifteen or twenty tons should be provided. In cutting ice the size of cakes should be such as will be best sulteo. to loading, storing and the size of the ice box or refrigerator. A cake of ice 8 inches thick, 18 Inches wide and 30 Inches long weighs 140 pounds, so that some care should be taken not to get the cakes too large for handling, especially whereJifUng must be done. The keeping property of ice depends almost altogether on how well it is insulated from the heat. Air, mineral wool, asbestos, sawdust, shavings and chaff are good non-conductors. Air is one of the best, provided it is confined to small porous spaces, as in the voids in sawdust, shavings, etc Dry-jnaterials-^aro also HAS THE FARMER TIME TO READ By R. J. BALDWIN Michigan Agricultural College. SPELL OF TRAGEDY more effective as non-conductors of heat as a rule than wet. Let us note how these principles may be applied in ice storage. We have mentioned good drainage beneath the Ice. In any event there will be considerable meltage and the water thus formed should be drained away to prevent wetting of the nonconducting material and thereby rendering it less effective. A line of ordinary drain tile should be laid under the center or along each side below the ice and covered with six inches of gravel. This, then, should be spread with from four to six Inches of cinders, if obtainable, which is a better non-conductor than gravel. On the cinders then should be placed from six to twelve Inches of sawdust or shavings, upon which the Ice Is laid. The tile drain should be provided with a U trap outside of the ice house to prevent any possible chance of circulation of air beneath the ice. The walls of the ice house may consist of studding sheathed on the Inside with rough lumber, and with tar paper and siding outside. Cement blocks should also make excellent walls, since they do not deteriorate by dampness as does wood. Little Is gained by placing sawdust between the sheathing and siding, as it Is likely to become damp. Placing it tb.ua does eave rehandllng each year, however. In any case the total thickness of insulation should not be less than 12 inches either at the sides, above or below the Ice. Ventilation is necessary above the ice to keep the air and insulating material dry. This may be accomplished by latticed windows end a ventilating flue or shaft at the peak of the roof. Protection from the sun is also advantageous. Shade trees and wide roof projection help In this respect. A continuous door in the Ice house is also desirable so that the ice may be put In at any level and unnecessary lifting avoided either In filling or taking o u t Some means of keeping this opening closed quite tightly as high as the top of the nonconducting material should also be provide. To prevent channels forming for air to circulate heat to the Ice, the insulating material should be rammed or packed down at Intervals as the loe melts away and the top always kept wetl eoYered after each time loe H taken out It is fully as imjarts** to milk at regular times as ft 8? g# fasd regularly— both affect the When we say "we have no time" to do certain" things it would be well to think reasonably long enough to be sure that the thing being left undone is not of more importance than the things which keep us from doing It. It is true that every business has its busy season when all surplus energy Is used in the day's work and there is little time and less inclination to read. Especially is this'true on the farm, but there is no business man who has more valuable material at his command than the farmer and no business which is advancing more rapidly in methods than agriculture. The only way to keep in touch with the latest knowledge along a man's line of business is to secure the publications containing the experiences and knowledge of other men who are also working and reaming in that particular line. The physicians, lawyers, engineers and other professional men each have their journals and societies; the bankers, merchants and lumbermen each have their means of distributing latest information; the farmer has numerous farm papers and journals, the bulletins of the department of agriculture, Washington, D. C, and the publications of experiment stations in every state of the Union. All these institutions are investigating farm problems and methods and every year's work brings out new points which ought to be known and used by-every farmer. — Mueh o l d i n - formation is unknown to some of us because we have not formed the habit of reading. Fortunately farmers are becoming fewer who will not believe that farming can be learned from books and bulletins. They will still become fewer who insist that they have not time to read; they will be left behind in the keener competition of production. It is not a question of having time to read, but it is an undeniable certainty that no man can afford not to read and keep up with the best and latest information obtainable. The Michigan experiment station publishes bulletins every few weeks (from ten to fifteen per year) on the various phases of agriculture and these may be secured regularly when published by writing to "Director Michigan Experiment Station, East Lansing, Mich.," and asking that your name be placed on the mailing list.

BENEATH AN EVIL STAR Accidents Costing Several Lives Have Recently Been Followed by a Mortal Combat That Still Remains a Mystery. Harvesting and Storing Apples. Practically every farmer with a small orchard on his farm, desires to store a few apples for home use during the winter. It is one thing to grow n good crop of apples and quite another thing to properly harvest and store a good crop. There seems to be as much ignoranee an dcarelesBnessoin harvest7 ing and storing as in the growing, resulting in an inexcusable amount of decay and waste of the fruit. A few pointers, at this time, to prevent such waste, are worth considering. Time to Pack. Apples. If apples are harvested too early. they are apt to be undersized and of poor quality. If harvested too late, they will not keep as long in storage although they will be of high color and of good size and quality when picked. We do not expect a winter apple to be ripe at harvesting time. It should be full sized, however, well colored and it should separate readily from the spur. If, when picking the apples, the stems are pulled out or the spurs broken, it is too early to harvest that particular variety. Method of Harvesting. Apples should be handled like eggs. Any break or rupture in the skin caused by worms or carelessness in handling is the starting point for the various rots and other forms of decay. No fruit harvested by shaking of branches or knocking the fruit off with poles, is worth stdring. Hand picking is absolutely essential. The fruit should be grasped by -the palm of the hand that no abrasion may be made by the finger nails. By slightly twisting the fruit and bending it upward, it should separate readly from the spur. Apples should be placed and not thrown or let fall into the picking basket A careless picker will ruin more fruit by letting it fall into his basket Instead of carefully placing it there than his services are worth. A great amount of fruit is also ruined by pouring it from the picking basket into barrels. If barrels are used, the basket should be inserted into the barrel and carefully Inverted that the fruit may not be injured. , The fruit should then be stored as soon as possible. Piling the fruit in the orchard is a wasteful practice. The fruit, heats In the piles and ripens very readily. The aim in storing fruit is to" retard this ripening process that the fruit may be kept longer. Do not store fruit that has been piled In the orchard for any considerable time after picking. Get a good spring wagon for hauling the fruit Into storage. A sprlngless wagon, especially over rough roads, will Injure the fruit for storing. If the fruit Is packed in tight boxes or barrels, it will store better than if open crates are used. The storage house or cellar should be well ventilated, well drained and frost proof. A cellar that cannot be properly ventilated to allow foal air'to escape, cannot keep fruit wefl. Drain the cellar so that it will never be wet and remove excessive moisture with a box of quick lime. In ceHars having cement bottoms and where- they are apt to become too dry and cause the fruit to shrivel up, suppif Bloomsbury. Pa.—The spell of tragedy hangs over the Peterman home in Sugarloaf township, where, only a few days ago, there was fought the duel that resulted in the death of one Peterman brother and the wounding of the other, who is recovering and will be tried for murder. Since the hour when the news of the terrible affair at the Peterman farm became circulated over the quiet countryside the history of the Peterman homestead, with its tragedies, began to be recited over and over. Fifteen years ago, when the Peterman family was augmented by the marriage of John Peterman to a widow of the Sugarloaf district and the bringing of her three children under the Peterman roof tree, the family was ofl*~of the -happiestof that~pictureaque section. One day Mrs. Peterman was boiling soft soap in a large kettle that swung from a crane in the old loghouse. It was a ponderous cauldron, holding many gallons of the grease from the annual hog butchering, and the soap was to be of such quantity that it would answer the household all winter. Somehow—just how nobody seemed to know—one of the widow's children, in playing about the blazing fire, knocked the boiling kettle from its fastening, and the mass of sizzling grease spilled over, and not only that particular child, but the two other children of the woman, scalding all so badly that they died in a few hours. The tragedy so appalled the mother that for a long time it was feared she In Bed Seven Weeks With Terrible Kidney Trouble. A.

Today it stands as a link between the hideous past and the more hideous present. One day a few years after the terrible wiping out of Mrs. Peterman's little ones, her husband was at work in the fields not 200 yards from the house. A high wind, an accompaniment to a terrific storm, swept over the countryside, and just when Peterman was passing at a distance in which the limbs of the monarch caught and pinned him to the ground, a ponderous tree on the knoll was blown over and Farmer Peterman was killed. His grave was added to the row of little graves in the Sugarloaf cemetery, and alongside that of the first wife. Always the history of the Peterman farm was referred to in toneB of sadness, and the place grew to be associated with the community in sort of a weird way. But the capsheaf of its tragic history was that enacted somewhere in the house or out of it, with knife and a stone and fist, in the darkness the other night between the two brothers, who were equally interested in the property. There were two-score knife wounds in the body of Abram Peterman when the undertaker came to lay out bis body for burial, and the face and head were battered in as though done with a stone. His body had been found at the foot of a wall, or over shot, near the Peterman farmhouse, and in the latter the brother, John, himself terribly wounded as though he had been attacked by a veritable madman, was found in a semi-unconscious condition. He acknowledged having slain his brother, but declared that if he had not killed Abram he himself would have forfeited bis life.

Clinton W. W. Barnard The importance at preventing wide spread epidemic of whooping cough and measles does not appear to have been sufficiently impressed upon the minds of the pubjic. There are a number of diseases which receive much more attention from the public in proportion to their importance from the standpoint of mortality record, than do these. In the last five years in Michighn, tbere have been 1590 deaths charged to whoopi Dg-coDgh, and 1022 charged—ro~m ea si en. These numbers do not properly indicate the high rate of mortality- from these t*o diseases. This is because a great number of cases have been reported to have died of pneumonia, which upon closer investigation, shows to have had measles or whooping-cough preceding the pneumonia. Such deaths should be charged to whooping- cough or measles. The importance of these diseases, as considered by the medical profession, is well shown in the following resolution adopted by the Calhoun County Medical Society, recently. "RESOLVED, that the Calhoun County Medical Society in regular session in the city of Marshall, appreciates the fact that "Pertussis" (whooping-cough) is one of The Pikes live a quarter of a mile down the road from me," said th% girl who owned a summer cottage. "They have one of those simple little places of about twenty acres, with Its own bathing beach and melon patch and gold plated chicken yard and manicured cows and tomatoes worth SI a piece. If a fallen twig fix inches long is allowed to remain on the lawn the head gardener gets into a lot of trouble. One slug discovered on the rose bushes causes his discharge. "The Pikes are especially proud of their kitchen garden, where they raise things that cost them ten times what they would pay for the same things in the grocery store. But the things the Pikes raise are worth the price. You really wouldn't believe their strawberries if you saw one suddenly with no preparation. As for the green peas—actually, those peas should be framed and hung on the wall just to be looked at! "Well, the Pikes had a guest over Sunday, a large, beefy, important gentleman who had made his money late in life and who enjoys entering electric lighted cafes and tipping t h e waiter with a $5 bill. They thought they would give him a genuine treat, something he did not get every day, a dish that would make him exclaim loyously. So they had the first picking of June peas with the broiled chicken for dinner, It is milled from the best part of the wheat berry and makes white light bread and cakes of a deitcTomj|"the mosrfatarof The-coniagious diseaseiof flavor. The results are always the same. For 6ale by the following grocers: W. T. WRIGHT, D. D. S. Office Over Monks', Bros. Store PINOKNEY, - - MICH * ft. Clinton A u c t i o n e e r inckney, . .

The pDlicy which we too often find, of allowing > children who have whooping cough to Rttend the publis schools is an entirely wrong one, and one which must not be tolerated. A child with whooping cough or measles should be given just as careful attention by the parents and physicians as a case of Scarlet Fever. The regulations of the State Roard of Health provide that children who have whooping cough or measles, must not attend the public schools or any other public gatherings. This is a regulation which is rather extensively not complied with in this state, and it is this failure to so restrict the cases which accounts for the large number of deaths. It is especially urged that the public in general take more active precautions against these large epidermic? of whooping cough and measles. It is the duty of the physicians in charge of the cases, or of the householder in case there is no physician in charge, to report these cases to the Local Health Officer. It is his duty to forward the report to the State Department. Failure to comply with these requirements constitutes a violation of the law which should not be tolerated.—Robert L.Dixon, M. D. 60 YKAfttP-. EXPIMENOC "The guest did not observe the breathless hush with which the peas were offered him, but he helped him- Belf bountifully and devoured them in a. workmanlike manner, while his hosts watched him expectantly. Nothing happened. "Mr. Pike coughed. 'Er—,' he began. 'The peas—pretty -£bod, eh? Right from our own garden!' "The beefy gentleman dimly felt that something was expected from htm. *Oh, yes/ he said, 'To be sure— the peas. They're good, aren't they? Almost as good as the French canned peas they serve at hotels!' "Not having a garden",*! do not get tny feelings outraged in just the same manner a s did the Pikes—but there ire times. There was the occasion of the peach tree, for Instance. "Nobody who has not witnessed the letting out in a sunny place of four walking sticks with funny green knobs on them and has not nursed and cherished them for three seasons and spatted off spiders and ants and tiefied curly leaf and the yellow blight and coddled and fussed over them can understand what it means to arrive in the spring and And six or seven fuzzy, unmistakable peaches on each, of those trees. It is as exciting a mo^ ment zs that wherrroTi"find "aTBaby has cut a tooth! I would go out a dozen times a day just to assure myself that the peaches were all there and no tasect was marring them and to tell them how nice it was of them actually to grow before my very eyes on my own trees! That was the summer I asked Pearl over to visit me. Improvement in Types of Horses Bred on Our Farms of Greatest Importance to Farmer. The fact Losl the aire is concerned with s o man> more individual offspring in a given season than a single mare, makes it readily seen that his influence is much more extensive. To improve the horse stock of a given community through the female line, for instance, would require the use of fifty or more superior mares to accomplish the same results as might be secured by the use of a single stallion. Purity of breeding insures prepotency and since, in the grading-up process the pure-bred parent is usually the sire, it is essential that he be of such a character that the impression which he stamps upon his offspring shall be only of the best. Defects in structure cannot be offset by type or breeding of the highest degree of excellency. A horse may be a superior individual in a class by himself, but he must conform closely to the specified requirements of the type with which he should class. The influence of well-bred Bires in any community can readily be seen by observing thV*-norses used in the fleldB, on the road and particularly in the horse markets of the cities. Certain states that have paid attention to horse-breeding, now produce animals that can almost be told at a glance by dealers, without knowing in advance where they came from, so superior is their quality. Other states have exactly the reverse reput a t i o n a n d a» soon a s a i o t fs announced as coming from such a state, dealers will desert the sale ring. Horses coming from such localities where farmers are averse to paying a decent service-fee, but prefer to use scrubs, are of poor type, vary widely ;<*s GOODRICH A * S T Y L E 3 9 One of the Best £ Machines ^ Just received our P a l l stock.

I showed them the place—It takes about Ave minutes to exhaust the sights of my estate—and with a burst of pride dilated on the fact that even In these wilds there are'comforts and that I have a bathroom, with running water. 'Of course,' I added, 'it's cold water, but then just consider having any kind right in the house!' "Mr. Vanneck leaned weakly against a wall. 'Do .you mean to say,' he got out tragically, 'that you don't have hot water here? No not water?' "'You heat it on the alcohol lamp to shave,' I explained. 'And for a hot bath we heat it on the kitchen stove and carry it in, but the water Is so soft that I prefer the cold tub.' "Mr. Vanneck clapped his hand to his brow and went and sat in a corner and moped over the awful calamity of no unlimited hot water. All the time they were here bis wife and X spent most of it stoking the kitchen stove so that if Vanneck took a sudden fancy for a hot bath there wou|d be plenty of water. **The thermometer stood above 90 and every one was going around with perspiration dripping from the end of Ms note seeking coolness, but when* ever I encountered Vanneck's resigned, reproachful eye I felt that I had blighted hi* comfort Mrs. Vanneck tried to apologize.

Examine the collars of your work horses often. Don't let the nursing sows ran down too much in condition. v Do not disturb the sow for at least 24 hours after farrowing. Don't feed the young pigs intended for breeding purposes altogether on corn. Ashes have good effect on the pigs' digestion, besides killing intestinal worms. Your horse may Intend to please you, but does not understand your wishes. Don't neglect to commence feeding the colts some grain before they are weaned. The pure-bred draft breeding atane will do aa much work as a grade, and bar colt will be worth much more. Gold, exposed sleeping quarters that compel the sows to pile up in order to keep warm are usually responsible for the dead pigs at this time. If you are suspicious that some ot your cattlo are affected with tuberculosis, the sooner you have your herd tested and made free from the trouble the better it will be for your pocketbook. / When you gat a good brood sow, one that always farrows a fair-sized litter of strong pigs and raises a large per cent of them, better hold on to her aa long as the continues her good work.

The other day a big snake in the Bronx zoo was found to be suffering from bronchitis. The ordinary remedies were given and in addition the reptile's throat was wrap ped with adhesive plaster for a distance of six feet—the unusual space being covered, perhaps because it is difficult to teii where a snake's throat ends and the rest of him begins. And now an uneasy correspondent writes to his daily paper and asks how the doctor and the attendants propose tc remove the plaster. It is possible, that this Inquiring person has had trouble with plasters and knows how unpleas ant it is suddenly to separate the stickers from the human skin. But, why worry about the snake? Why look for trouble even before the plas ter begins to draw? When the prop er time comes and the usefulness oi the big muffler is ended, it is possible the cobra will slough the plasters as he might his skin. A writer contends that for the deflnition of "home" as "the place where a man can do as he pleases." There might be much advanced in favor of the proposition that It is the place where woman can do as she pleases— at least she generally does. Well, why not? Who makes the home? Every ideal home owes its greatest charms to woman's part in its making. Man is aware of that, and the American man generally accepts woman's exclusive dominion In the home of her unquestioned right, his privilege being to finance the enterprise and to enjoy the comfort which the presiding genius provides for him.

Only a few of the Gl business houses have escaped the fury of the raging waters and they seem doomed. Within a few hours this rich center of a prosperous farming region will have little to boast except that it was the scene of a catastrophe. What is known as I*ower Town, that part of the tuwn lying west of the river, was a place of misery. There most of the residents live. Following u night of anxiety and suffering, they faced the realization that no food was available. Many homes have been demolished and frequently several families share food which would not be enough for one family. —Every -grocery store and market has been swept away by the deluge. Provisions will come from the outside, but transportation is impeded by washouts, Two dozen dwellings have been carried away. So far as can be ascertained there have been no deaths. Everything on the four business streets, comprising the heart of the town, has been swept away. The Northwestern railroad bridge over the Black river at that point is still standing, but it is swaying as though the heavy spans were supported only by cables. Train service is cut off at Black River and no one is even allowed to cross afoot. At Hatfield, 10 miles above Black River Falls, the river had cut a new channel. The main channel has moved over 500 feet to what was dry land. At the dam the prec sure has ceased and the waters have fallen far below ] the crest. The main part of the dam Is still standing. The power house two miles down from Holland was Hooded. Two dams gave out in Chippewa Falls, Wis., and one at Bloomer. The country is Hooded. The Chippewa river rose 8 feet in 10 hours. Water is running in the streets as a result of an IS hours' downpour of rain. Several farm bonnes floated down "the stream that passed around the west end of the Hatfield dam. Water 11 feet deep flowed over the top of the dam and tore away the bridge at Black River Falls. The families that occupied the floated -houses, it is feared, perished. Hatfield is under water, but. it Is thought that no lives were lost there. * Authorize Stock for Electric Line.

ITALY IS NOT FOR PEACE W A N T S TO LAND ARMY OF OCCUPATION IN TRIPOLI BEFORE SHE T A L K 8 PEACE. ISSUES OFFICIAL W A R N I N G TO T H E WORLD. Claims to Have an Agreement With the Powers Regarding Proper Time to Permit an Intervention. News from the Turco-Italian wai has hitherto been fragmentary and uncertain. The rigid censorship lnv posed by Italy has concealed t h e facts and let loose a flood of fiction, but what is known to be true is probably all of importance that has really happened. This does not amount to a great deal. The bombardment of the Tripoli forts, followed by the occupation of the place by small landing parties, was the chief act of warfare. The Turkish garrison seems to have been satisfied with the honor of enduring the bombardment almost passively. This has been the policy of the Turks and home also, which has been marked by great restraint, apparently on the assumption that a policy of delay would be almost likely to bring about mediation by the powers. Many* Reports Inaccurate. Hostilities outside Tripoli and Cyrene have been confined to naval activity in the Adriatic and the exchange of shots by gunboats at Hodeida in the Red fcea, in which a British launch was the only sufferer. It is impossible to calculate how many Turkish so-called torpedo boats have been sunk and destroyed in the Adriatic. Obviously the same incident with the geography and details slightly varied has been repeated again and again. If all the reports were accepted as true Turkey would be found to have lost more of these craft than she ever possessed. Turkish Tripoli Loss Is 12 Killed, 23 Hurt. It is officially announced that the Turkish loss at the bombardment of Tripoli were 12 killed and 23 wounded. One Italian cruiser was damaged by the forts. It Is reported that an Italian cruiser has bombarded Suedish, vilayet of Aleffo, but that no damage was done. The committee of Young Turks at Salonka has decided to maintain the struggle. Reschld Pasha has declined the portfolio of minister of foreign relations. Tripoli Is in a State of Siege. Advices from Tripoli state that the Italian governor, Rear Admiral Borea <l'01mo, has issued a proclamation declaring the town In a state of siege. The smaller Italian warships are engaged in searching for and removing mines that were laid by the Turks in Tripolitan haruo'rs. Nearly the entire body of the Trlpoliton police has offered to enter the Italian service and similar offers have "heeir-re^eTveid~from---o4her—4oea+—officials. Gov, d'Olmo is organizing the public Services. The Italian postofnee has been reopened and the Italian coat-of-arms placed over the doorways. It is reported that vice admiral, the duke of the Abruzzi, considering that the acute stage of the war has passed, has submitted to the king a plan to organize a scientific expedition into the interior of Tripoli. He proposes to study the flora, fauna -and water courses and proceeding south through Central Africa, eventually entering country as1 yet unexplored or little known. MICHIGAN BREVITIES T ir—memr^sz Grant.—Following the good roads movement taken up in, Grant and Ashland; townships; this season, State Deputy Road Commissioner William E. Cox of Lansing has been here and placed his O.

Ashland, in which township is Bituated the village of Grant, will turn this reward money into more good roads at the earliest oportunity. There is some talk of bonding for $20,- 000. Jackson.—That the council of a city can go even farther than the Warner-Cramton act in limiting th*- number of saloons In a city Is the substance of an opinion handed down by the Bupreme court In the case of Edward Frey against the city of Jackson. Following the repeal of the local option law in this county, the council passed an ordinance limiting the number of Baloons to one for each 1,000 population. Under the state law the number is limited to one for every 500 population. Sixty-five applications for licenses were filed with the city recorder. The council reduced this list to 32 and granted licenses, the number allowed under the ordinance. FLASHES FROM WIRE. The shops of the Great Western Mining Co., in Crystal Falls, were ruined by fire caused by gasoline. Visitors who journey to the nation's capital to view the great public buildings, will be permitted to visit the national museum on Sundays hereafter. A plan for a 1915 Glidden tour to extend from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific has been submitted to the American Automobile association officials by a western organization.

George Gould's youthful son, Jay, has purchased a $250,000 residence on Fifth avenue, New York, as a gift for his bride, who was Miss Anne Douglas Graham. The house is six stories high and was formerly the property of Archer Huntington. With appropriate ceremonies and a parade of soldiers and tailors, the 130th anniversary of the surrender of Lord Cornwalls and his army to George Washington at Yorktown, Va., will he celebrated at Yorktown Thursday, October 19.

Osmun will erect on Wayne street in the rear of the Osmun building, discovered the skeleton of a man. It had been burled a few feet below the cellar level of an old house which formerly stood there. The bones were brown and brittle with age and there was nothing which might serve as identification. Officers believe a murder may have been committed and the body burled beneath the old house, owing to the fact that at one time it was a disorderly place. Ann Arbor.—The first Carnegie medal owner In the university entered. He is E. J. Roller, from Jackson, and he registered In the literary department. Seven years ago last Christmas Roller, then a lad of thirteen years, and a playmate of the same age, went skating on a lake •ear Manchester. The other lad broke through the ice and was rescued by Roller at the risk of his own life. The matter was brought to the attention of Andrew Carnegie, who awarded young Roller a bronze medal land ¢2,000 with which to educate himself. - Jaekson.—After deliberating but 20 minutes, a jury returned a verdict of guilty against Frank Riley, charged with abducting fourteen-yearold Dora Burdick for the purpose of marriage. Sentence was deferred until a later date. The offense with which Riley was charged was committed April 17. Riley was employed on -the—John Randall farm~rrear--Ja€ksoaTJ and it was there that he met Miss Burdick, the Randalls being her guardians. Ionia.—It is announced that the Pere Marquette has 3,000 cars in need of repairs, as a result of which the city of Ionia is getting busy with the donation of additional land for yard track purposes. T. H. Preston has been made trustee of the fund of $1,000 which is in a local bank ready for use, and the purchase will be completed this week. As soon as the railroad shops are enlarged a large force of men will be added to the local Pere Marquette force. Grand Rapids.—A drastic war is being waged here against the billboard evil. The Granville Avenue Improvement association has sent out a city-wide request that all merchants refuse to patronize that form of advertising. This is practically a boycott, which is prohibited by the state and federal laws. As a result wholesale suits are threatened by billboard owners against the merchants who belong to t h e association. Battle Creek.—One of Battle Creek's new fire fighting motor-cars was wrecked when Driver F. A. Bruce, hurrying' from station No. 2 to a fire on Lake avenue, turned the automobile into a tree to avoid hitting Noame Moss, eleven years old.

SPLENDIO CANADIAN CROPS Wheat, Oats and Barley Universally Good Throughout , Manitoba, Saskatchewan j and Alberta. / The reports that corns to hand from t h e wheat fields of the western Canadian provinces show remarkably good yields In all parts. Yields are recorded of wheat going 35 and 40 bushels in many places, and oats from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. Barley and flax are splendid. The thousands of Americans throughout the United States who have friends in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta will be pleased to learn of the great success that has followed their efforts. Many of these have not confined themselves to the growing of grain, but have also gone into the cattle Industry. On the luxurious grasses that are so abundant there, in almost all districts, make this Industry safe and profitable. ; The land sales reported by the railway companies and by the different land companies show the great increase that will likely take place ; during the next year in farming operations. What has been said time and time again may now be well repeated, that there is no place on the American continent where the same opportunities are afforded the man looking for a home, for the young man starting out in ^life, the man with a growing up family, who desires wider scope for his ambition. ,_The_Canad i a n g o v e r n m e n t agents located at different points in the states will be glad to advise the reader of the conditions, and relate to him instances of the great success that has followed farming in Western Canada. Some Mosquitoes. "Yes," said the traveler who had Just returned from South Africa. "I was one day so annoyed by mosquitoes that I was compelled to take refuge in an old iron safe which lay discarded on the veldt. "My first emotions of joy at my happy deliverance were hardly over when the mosquitoes, scenting me, began to drive their stingers through the safe. Fortunately, I had a hammer In my pocket, and as fast as their stingers came through the Iron I clinched them, until at length such a host of them was fastened down In this way that, when they started to fly away, they carried me and that safe miles.

Keith possessed sufficient means tor several months of idleness, and even if he had not, his reputation as a plains scout would insure hlra employment at any of fhe more important scattered army posts. Reliable men for such service were in demand. The restlessness of the various Indian tribes, made specially manifest by raids on the more advanced settlements, and extending over a constantly widening territory, required continuous interchange of pommunlcatlon between commanders of detachments. Bold and reckless spirits had flocked to the, frontier in those days following the Civil War, yet all were not of the type to encourage confidence in military authorities. Keith bad already frequently served In this capacity, and abundantly proved his "worth under rigorous demands-of-beth endurance and intelligence, and be could feel assured of permanent employment whenever desired. Not a few of the more prominent officers he had met personally during the late •war—Including Sheridan, to whom he had once borne a flag of truce—yet the spirit of the Confederacy still lingered in his heart: not in any feeling of either hatred or revenge, but in an unwillingfcess to serve the blue uniform, and a memory of antagonism which would not entirely disappear. He had surrendered at Appomattox, •conquered, yet he could not quite adjust himself to becoming companionin- arms with those against whom be toad fought valiantly for four years. Some of the wounds of that conflict «UI1 smarted. A natural soldier, anxious to help the harassed settlers, -eager enough to be actively employed, he still held aloof from army connections except as a volunteer la case of emergency. Just now other considerations -caused him to desire freedom. He had been accused of murder, imprisoned for It, and in order to escape, had been compelled to steal horses, the most heinous crime of the frontier. Not only for his own protection and safety must the truth of that occurrence at the Clmmaron Crossing he made clear, but he also had now a personal affair with "Black Bart" Hawley to be permanently settled. They had already clashed twice, and Keith Intended they should meet again. Memory of the girl was still in his mind as he and Neb rode silently forth on the black prairie, leading the extra horse behind him. He endeavored to drive the recollection from his mind, so he might concentrate it upon plane for the future, but somehow she mysteriously wove her own personality into those plans, and he was ever seeing the pleading in her eyes, and listening to the soft Southern accent of her voice. Of late years he had ytjeen unaccustomed to association „ . w ihth women of high type, and there it^v"''°1,JL» tfcat touch of the gentlewoman _^«fcout this girl which had awakened ^ ^tfeep Interest Of course he knew that In her ease it was merely an Inheri- " tance of her past, and could not truly represent the present Christie Ma- Claire of the music balls. However fascinating she might be, she could sot be worthy any serious consideration. In spite of his rough life the social spirit of the old South was Implanted in bis blood, and no woman of that class could bold him captive. Yet, some way, she refused to be banished or left behind. Even Neb must have 'bees Obsessed by a similar spirit, for he suddenly observed; "Dat am suU'nly a mighty fine gal. ( Mass* Jack. 1 ain't seen sotbtn* to compare wld her since I cjuit or Virginia—" deed I ain't" ) Keith gianoed back at bis black ' iftcetm* barely able to distinguish the feQow's dim outlines. < "Ton think her a lady, thesT he ^ ,«jeetto**o; gtrter thoughtless otter- !W THE ; k DEff LEOrTHCPLAIflS P A N D A I X P A O D I S H - .

Angels av Hiven. if it isn't the same the ol' Gineral was showin' me in the parly." The other sat up suddenly, her white shoulders and rounded throat gleaming. "The old General, you said? What General? When was he here?" "Shure now, be aisy, honey, an' Oi'U tell ye all thePe Is to it. It's not his name Oi know; maybe Oi nlver heard till av it. but 'twas the 'Gineral' they called him, all right. He was here maybe three days outfittin'—a noice spoken ol' gintlerain, wid a gray beard, an' onc't he showed me the locket— be the powers, If it do be his, there's an openin' to it, an' a picter inside." The girl touched the spring, revealing the face within, but her eyes were blinded with tears. The landlady looked at her in alarm. "What is it. honey? What is it? Did you know htm?" The slender form swayed forward, shaken with sobs. "He was my father, and—and this is my mother's picture which he always carried." "Then what is your name?" "Hope Waite." Kate Murphy looked at the face half hidden in the bod-clothes. That was not the name which Keith had given her, hut she had lived on the border too long to be inquisitive. The other lifted her head, flinging back her loosened hair with one hand. "Mr. Kellli dropped it," she exclaimed. Where do you suppose he got it?" Then she gave a quick, startled cry, her eyes opening wide in horror. "The Clmmaron Crossing, the murder at the Clmmaron Crossing! He—he told me about that; but ho never showed me this—this. Do you—do you think—" Her voice failed, but Kate Murphy gathered her into her arms. "Cry here, honey," she said, as if to a child. "Shure an' Oi'm tellin" ye it niver was Jack Keith what did It— murther ain't his stoyle." Across Its Face Was Plainly Written, "Miss Christie Maclaire." ~auce~ to his own imagination. "'Deed 1 does! the thick voice somewhat Indignant. "I reck'u I knows de real quality when I sees i t I'se 'sociated wid quality white folks befo'." "But, Neb, she's a singer in dance halls."

Hawley knew her too, and called her by name." Neb rubbed his eyes, and slapped his pony's flank, unable to answer, yet still unconvinced. "I reck'n both oh yer might be mistook," he insisted doggedly. "Not likely," and Keith's brief laugh was not altogether devoid of bitterness. "We both called her Christie Maclaire, and she didn't even deny the name; she was evidently not proud of It but there was no denial that she was the girl." "Dat wasn't like no name dat you called her when we was ridln'." "No; she didn't approve of the other, and told me to call her Hope, but 1 reckon she's Christie Maclaire all right" They rode on through the black, silent night as rapidly as their tired horses would consent to travel. Keith led directly across the open prairie, guiding his course by the stars, and purposely avoiding the trails, where some suspicious eye might mark their passage. His first object was to get safely away from the scattered settlements lying east of Carson City. Beyond their radius he could safely dispose of the horses they rode, disappear from view, and find time to develop future plans. As to the g i r l - well, he would keep his word with her, of course, and see her again sometime. There would be no difficulty about that but otherwise she should retain no influence over him. She belonged rather to Hawley's class than his. It was a lonely, tiresome ride, during which Neb made various efforts to talk, but finding his white companion uncommunicative, at last relapsed into rather sullen silence. The horses plodded on steadily, and when daylight finally dawned, the two men found themselves in a depression leading down to the Smoky River. Here they came to a water hole, where they could safely hide themselves and their stock. With both Indians and white men to be guarded against they took all the necessary precautions, picketing the horses closely under the rock shadows, and not venturing upas building any tire. Neb threw himself on the turf and was Instantly asleep, but Keith climbed the steep side of the gully, and made searching survey of the horteon. The wide w e to the south; east and west revealed nothing to oto searching eyes* except the doll brown of the slight!? reefs* gjT wKfa so life apparent seffjtjsjisfc tant grazing antjelope^-hui to -the north extended more broken country with a faint glimmer of water between the bills. Satisfied they were unobserved, he slid back again Into the depression. As he turned to lie down he took bold of the saddle belonging to Hawley's horse. In the unbuckled holster his eye observed the glimmer of a bit of gazed at it unthinkingly. It was an envelope, robbed of its contents, evidently not sent through the malls, as it had not been stamped, but across Its face was plainly written, "Miss Christie Maclaire." He stared at It, his lips firm set, his gray eyes darkening. If be possessed any doubts before as to her identity, they were all thoroughly dissipated now.

Introducing Doctor Fairbaln. Headed as they were, and having no other special ohJecti.ve point in- view, i^ was only natural for the two fugitives to drift into Sheridan. This was at that time the human cesspool of the plains country, a seething, boiling maelstrom of all that was rough, evil, and brazen along the entire frontier. Customarily quiet enough during the hours of daylight, the town became a mad As he lay there, with head pillowed on the saddle, his body aching from fatigue yet totally unable to sleep, staring open-eyed Into the blue of the sky, the girl they had left behind awoke from uneasy slumber, aroused by the entrance of Mrs. Murphy. For an instant she failed to comprehend her position, but the strong brogue of the energetic landlady broke in sharply: "A bit av a cup av coffee f*r ye, honey," she explained, crossing to the bed. "Shure an' there's nuthln' loike it when ye first wake up. Howly Mlther, but It's tot*d 'nough ye do be Iookin' yet" "I haven't slept very well," the girl confessed, bringing her hand out from beneath the coverlet, the locket still tightly clasped in her finger. "See, I found this on the floor last night after you had gone down stairs." "Ye did!" setting the coffee "on a convenient chair, and reaching out for the trinket "Let's have a look at It ness, its ceaseless orgies being noisily continued until dawn. But at this period all track work on the Kansas Pacific being temporarily suspended by Indian outbreaks, the graders made both night and day alike hideous, ind the single dirty street which composed Sheridan, lined with shacks, crowded with saloons, the dull dead prairif stretching away on every side to the horizon, was congested with humanity during every hour of the twenty-four. (TO BE CONTINUED.) \ Strict School Rules. John Wesley held that school children should do without holidays altogether. When he opened Klngswood school in 1748 he announced that "the children of tender parents, so called, have no business here, for the rules will not be broken in favor of any person whatsoever. Nor is any child received unless his parents agree that be shall observe all the rules of the house; and that they will not take him from school, no, not for a day, till they take him for good and all" Further, no play days were permitted, and no time was ever allowed for play, on the ground that he who plays when he is a child will play when he becomes a man. Every Friday the children had to work till three in the afternoon without breaking their fast ( i i i A i . v I : T I , W h e a t - - ( ' a s h No. 2 v<\, !Hc; D e c e m - ber o p e n e d w i t h o u t c h a n g e at !h< 1-lc; a d v a n c e d to $1 a n d closed at !h»:i-le; Mav opened at ¢1.0 1 1-1, a d v a n c e d to $1,0.7 a n d closed a t $ 1 , 0 1 2 - 1 ; No. 1 White, Hie; s a m p l e , 1 car a t lh»c.

Sacred Mount of Ararat Ptople of Vicinity for Many Year* Considered Its Heights impossible to 8csle. "Ararat is not a mountain that ii climbed erery day, or even every year," says a writer. "Seventeen as* cents have been recorded. When James Bryce, unaccompanied, made his remarkable ascent In 1876 be was told by every one whom he met in the vicinity of the mountain that the top had never been reached, and, what was more, it never could be. Jinns and fiends and sitnts had prevented the rascally Kurds from even attempting to scale the terrible mountain, and since the ark grounded there mortal man had not been allowed to trespass on the sacred heights, be was fSfOfflMO* ^'Had not St. Hagop tried again and again to reach tbe summit in order to silence the skeptics about the ark, but found himself each mornir- on waking quietly deposited at the base, whence he started? Finally an angel presented him with a piece of the ark for his pains, but told him to cease his attempts to reach the forbidden ground. "That was in the fourth century of our era, but tbe piece o' the ark is still Jo be seen at the monastery of the Echmiedzin, where dwell* the catbollcos of the Armenian church. That Russians or a stray lone Englishman had really reachec the top of Ararat was not to be thought o f Th« man who gain distinction are tbe men who blaze the trail In the world's progress.

RASH ALL OVER BABY'S BODY Itched So He Could Not Sleep "On July 27, 1909, we left Boston for a trip to England and Ireland, taking: baby with us. After being in Ireland a few days a nasty rash came out all over his body. We took him to a doctor who gave us medicine for him. The trouble started in the form of a rash and was all over baby's body, head and face, at different times. It irritated, and he would scratch it with all his might. The consequence was it developed into sores, and we wera afraid it would leave nasty scars on his face. "When we reached England we took baby to another doctor, who said his condition was due to change of food and climate, and gave more medicine. The rash got nb better, and it used to itch and burn at night so bad that the child could not sleep. He was completely covered with it at different times. It was at this time that my mother advised us to try Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. After using Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment tor about nine months the places disappeared. There are not any scars, or other Jclnd of disfigurement, and baby is completely cured by the Cutlcura Soap and Ointment We have no further trouble with baby's akin. Nothing stopped tbe Itching, and allowed baby to sleep but Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment." (Signed) Mrs. Margaret Gunn, 29 Barrel! St., Roxbury, Mass., March 12, Mil. Although Cutlcura Soap and Ointment are sold everywhere, a sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to Cotlcura," Dept, 14 X, Boston.

Novel Collection of the Animals, Vegetables and Minerals Mentioned in Holy Writ. A model of a aperm whale—a member of the family to which Jonah's "great fish" ia believed to have belonged— is one of the many interesting things to be seen at the novel exhibition of Biblical objects in natural history at the Natural History museum, London, England. The space allotted to the collection la far too limited to permit actual specimens of the larger mammals, but a number of interesting photographs are shown of the wild boar, the hyena, the lion, the elephant and the hippopotamus, which was known to the ancients as the water ox. In the same case are some finely preserved specimens of the chameleon, the Egyptian tomb bat, a beautifully marked cobra, Cleopatra's asp, the horned viper and the frog. The frog i s mentioned only twiee in the Old and once in the New Testament. It is of the edible variety, and is widely distributed In- Europe, Asia and North Africa. A large case contains seven pieces of manna, a Bpecles of lichen found in North Africa and the eastern deserts and mountains. The inhabitants of these districts still regard this manna as sent from heaven. There are also bullrushes, lentils and sections of the more famous trees of the Holy Land, such as cedar, ebony, sandalwood, boxwood, gopher wood, thyme wood (mentioned in Revelation) and olive wood. The plagues of Egypt are represented by the North American and migratory locusts, the canker worm, scorpion, hornet and gadfly. The collection of minerals Includes a beautiful cut-beryl, tbe first stone in the fourth row of the high priest's breastplate and the eighth foundation of the new Jerusalem.

The swordflsh has arrived. We have called attention hitherto to the statement of naturalists that these fish are never found small and young c% our Atlantic coast. They are born across the seas in the Mediterranean. When they begin to feel the spirit of adventure they start over for a summer along the North Atlantic shore. Here they spend the season, and, If they are not taken to market, they disappear again when the water cools and off they go. They are taken by harpoon. It is their custom to lie on the surface of the ocean, theh- great back fins swaying in the air. Apparently they sleep. But nobody would call them sleepy after the harpoon hits in. A considerable line is attach- * ed to a barrel at one end and harpoon at the other. The fish is struck and then over goes the line, barrel, and the whole outfit. The fish sets off madly, but after a time tires and in a dory the fisherman draws up to him, sticks him with a knife, much a s a pig is dealt with in the farm, the ocean reds for a space about the boat, and then several hundred pounds of fish are hauled on board the larger craft. Last year swordflsh were scarce and the fishermen got as high as 15 cents a pound. This year the Boston market is giving the prtnoely sum of four cents a pound.

WASMINQTON, 0 . ¢ . DA-SNOWTo a bank cashier with a taste for chemistry is due the credit of a Simple yet Hg^y^elfil^nT'Trasfi protector and cracksman tamer. Several years ago Cashier Clark of the Corona State bank, South Dakota, hit upon the idea that if he could place a bottle of some strong chemical between the outer and inner doors of the vaults its fumes might retard the Work of safe breakers or perhaps frightea them away. A quart bottle of formaldehyde was immediately given a position a s a silent night watchman between the doors of the vault. For about five years the "yegg doctor" kept unobtrusive guard. Finally early in November, 1910, the test oasne. A'ceuple of professional cracksmen entered the town. Two charges of nitroglycerin were used on Cashier Clark's safe that night. The first one did little -damage^- but- the eecond: wrecked beta the outer and inner doorB, tore t i e latter from their hinges and' threw them out into the vault and against the small safe and safety deposit boxes. TheJ'yeggmen" did not wait to wreck the inner safe, however, for at the same moment the "yegg doctor" responded-tb~lTTiuTrycall and the fumed of a full quart of formaldehyde filled the room. Choking and gasping, with tears streaming from their eyes, the criminals scrambled out the way they had come in and left tracks down the peaceful country highway that fairly sizzled. For days after the explosion the fumes of formaldehyde were so strong that a person could not breathe In Jhe vault.—Technical World Magazine. Time and Tide Wait T O P N O O n e !

As our boys were scheduled to play ball there, Pinckney and vicinity was well represented. The ball tournament opened with Pinckney and Stockbridge up for the first game? the winner to play the winner of the Howell- Fowlerville game for the first prize. Pinckney has been quite anxious to meetStockbridge either at home or on neutral grounds and have endeavored to get a game /with Stockbridge several times this season at Pinckney but without success, and as Pinckney won a decisive victory, defeating Stockbridge to the tune of 4 to 0, letting their opponents down with only 2 safe hits, the boys came home somewhat reconciled to tbe^OSSnf thfl final gamft Fowlerville which resulted m a score of 3 to 2 in the latters favor. Myron Dunning fairly won the honors of both games, both in the field and at bat, making several sensational catches, and throws that would have shown up in faster company. The- management of the Detroit American League team sent Joe Sugden, the famous coach and scout to Fowlerville to iuspect pitcher Ren wick, but he was not favorable impressed. However he asked Myron Dunning to pitch a few balls for his benefit and after the game made Dunning and Harold Swarthout flattering offers to engage in professional base ball. The boys are undecided whether they will avail themselves of this opportunity or not at present.

There are easier things to da Such "stunts" as mirror-gazing at the silrery hour of midnight, as following a thread through a dark cellar, or polling k&lestocks; none of them could be called child's play. Something had to be planned that was different, something entertaining and "Hallowe'eny." The invitations, which were sent out a week in advance, read as follows: "Won't you come to my Hallowe'en party, from six to nine, October 31? Please wear play clothes. "SYLVIA HALL." In the corner of each card was a tiny water-color sketch—a witch riding a broom, a blinking owl, or a broad winged bat. Every response was an acceptance, andf straightway preparations for the party began From a farm house we drove home one ~day~wTEh a load of cornstalks, pumpkins, and carrots. Everybody in the house who could use a jack-knife was pressed into service. Big pumpkins and little were transformed Into lanterns, with faces upon which black or white paint had sketched queer eyebrows or fierce mustachios. They were distributed about the house; tucked among russet oak leaves and green pine boughs on each mantel, set lantern fashion on a newel post in the hall, or hung here and there from overhead grilles. Cornstalks were stacked beside a fireplace at a safe distance from the fire, and the house was lit dimly by pumpkin-beadg or candles set in hollowed carrots. ^ The dining table was set with a group or carrot candlesticks and bowlfuls of apples, nuts, grapes and candy. Upon a fat pumpkin wa3 perched a Hallowe'en witch, holding a handful of raffia, which came from the mouth of a grab-bag. In her black sown, peaked hat, and flying red cloak, with a veritable broomstick in her hand, she was the star of indoors. On the lawn, ready to offer a welcome to every guest who arrived, was a greater star, a life-size witch, with a pair of winkling red eyes which could be seen two blocks distant. Her framework wag arough wooden-cross^w4tb one end hewn to a sharp stake which was driven into the ground. Pillows were tied about her lath-like form for shapeliness, while her garb was a nightgown. The pumpkin head was of noble proportions, the hair was a bunch of black raffla, and over it perched a lordly hat with a peak nearly a yard high, wldu brlm7^gnd~arTCTl5p~ scarf of orange colored paper tied in a magnificent bow at one side. The head was nailed securely to the framework, and inside the candles flared lng blind man's buff began to shriek with laughter which grew to genuine hilarity when the sixteenth girl chased the sixteenth boy into a corner. There was a hungry rush for the dining-room and parlor, where eight small tables were set, four children being seated at each. The supper was a simple one, consisting of tongue and chicken sandwiches, with stuffed potatoes, baked apples with whipped cream, gingerbread men, chocolate nuts and grapes. When the evening's fun began, a jolly young aunt was appointed referee and recorder in the various games. The first part of the program was held in the kitchen while tables were being cleared and dishes carried to the butler's pantry. There was, of course, a tub filled with lukewarm water (it was too chilly a night for a cold plunge), and in It floated a Bcore of rosy apples. Bobbing for boys chose partners and were vacged in two lines'from the dining room to the parlor. At the end of each line was a table; one held a big basket of peanuts, beside the other stood the umpire, with her pencil and paper. On It was a wooden bowl and two plates. When the umpire called a girl's name she and her partner walked down the center to the farther table. Covering the back of their hands with all the peanuts they could hold, they carried them to the other table, where they were counted. It sounds like an easy task, but the winner had only seven or eight peanuts to his credit. When the children began to giggle, when hands grew shaky, or a walk quickened into a run, the peanuts were tumbling everywhere to the delight of the on* lookers. There was a game of bean bags, then a spirited soap bubble contest For this partners were drawn again and a ribbon stretched from end to EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH? . ; * • * * « They Art •• Good <pr ths fetfJj r .

When she touched it with a. match it blazed up in a blue uncanny flame. Then she began in a slow, deep voice: "Little Orphant Annie's come-to our house to stay!" She had scarcely reached the last verse when the saucer lamp flared strangely and went out. The reader lit It again, with her salt and alcohol, and recited: "AH-around the house In the jet black night, It stares through the window pane," But the light went out as she whispered slowly: "All the wicked, shadows coming, tramp, tramp, tramp!"

PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS "I was troubled with acne for three long years. My face was the only partaffected, but It caused great disfigurement, also suffering and loss of sleep. At first there appeared red, hard pimples which later contained white matter. I suffered a great deal.caused by the itching. I was in a state of perplexity when walking the streets or anywhere before the public. "I used pills and other remedies but they failed completely. I thought of giving up when nothing would help, but something told me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I sent for a Cuticura Booklet which I read carefully. Then I bought some Cuticura Soap and Ointment and by following the directions I was relieved in a few days. I used Cuticura Soap for washing my face, and applied the Cuticura Ointment morning and evening. This treatment brought marvelous results so I continued with it for a few weeks and was cured completely. I can truthfully say that tho Cuticura Remedies are not only all, but more than they claim to be." (Signed) G. Baumel, 1015 W. 20th.Place, Chicago, III., May 28, 191.1.

The first consideration must always be to make the farm pay, hut fields and stock will yield none the less profit if the farm possesses features of beauty. Some places have natural beauty in streams and trees such as is shown In the picture of the College lane bridge; every place can be made pleasingly attractive by trees, lawns,, wellkept fences and neat painted buildings. The far-reaching ^fTsets of the appearance of farm surroundings may bo appreciated when ii is remembered that these things appeal to a part of man's nature and make up, which Is deeper and more Important than his instinct of poroe«sitta and his ability to make money. It ts the- barren mono tony of unattractive farm homes that has made many a boy become restless and look forward to the time when he could leave it all and find things more to bis taste In city surroundings. Farniers themselves who are not thoughtful of "the tooks ol things" will soon find that ttrey are losing Interest and respect for the business they ought continually to learn more to love. Business and life affairs are so curiously knit and interwoven that the pride and care taken in one thing will show its effect in all things. It Is an observable fact that the farms on which most attention is given to neatness and beauty, there also is found the greatest profit In business. The things we remember longest about our old farm homes are not how much the fat porkers weighed or how many bushels or tons, per acre were ours on a certain field, although that was of first importance at the Ume71v"eremember mostly the spring with climbiug vines and UmbB, the elms and maples, the evergreens in the corner of the house yard,* the red barns where we kept the silky-coated Jerseys and the old house with all its comforts and conveniences. To live the farm life ideal la to know the beauty of open fields and sky ami trees; to appreciate the sacred blessing of home ties and neighbors' friendships. Nowhere is there more excellent opportunity to know the really great things of life than la the open country. If it is not forgotten that "making a life" com**? first an* is the very purpose of making a living. Gaby Olttiys, Actress, Credited With Portuguese Monarch's Overthrow, Now Here. New York,—Gaby Deslys, who Is credited by common report with having overthrown the kingdom of Portu* gal by infatuating King Manuel and enticing from him what was left in the royal treasury, Is now here to fill professional engagements. She says she is to receive ¢18,000 a week and it is probable that some of the $18,000 will be real money. She brought a bewildering array of clothes and jewels and also her reputation as a monarchy destroyer. The wonder is that this talented actress has not come over sooner. Why .this strange delay? A lady with a redolent past and the destroyer of monarchy, she certainly had a right to expect sympathy and appreciation in republican America from the first. The only reason imaginable for her delay In coming to the country to which foreign artists hasten to make their money as a rule is that she is so modest she did not realize the extent of her exploit. No doubt she said to herself that Manuel was such a little Backache Dyiig KiQtys A Remarkable Treatment That Saves the Kidneys. How You May Cure Yourself Quickly # and Thoroughly. With the progress of science comes one remarkable treatment for kidney diseajjea. It has been HO thoroughly tested and Its results have proven so revolutionary that a well-known firm in Michigan has undertaken Its distribution Into every part of the country. Those who suffer from kidney trouble and the diseases resulting from It will be pleased to know that every package of this treatment is thoroughly guaranteed. This should assure at laut a positive cure te) every suffeYer. Every man and woman should know that backache la usually a well-denned symptom of advancing kidney disease which may end fatally unless treated In time; that rheumatism and bladder trouble are caused from nothing more nor less than kidneys that do not filter the poison from the blood; that dropsy, Brlghfs disease, diabetes and bladderstones are caused by bad kidneys. Once they are made to work properly, these diseases should quickly disappear. This is done by the new treatment, Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills. We urge everyone who has pain In the small of the back, profuse or scanty urination, pains- in the bladder, cloudy or foul urine, not to fall to get a package today of Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills, and drop all other kidney treatments. Senator Stevenson of Washington writes from Olympla: "There is no question about the efficacy of Dr. Derby's Pure Kidney Pills in curing kidney and bladder trouble. I know whereof I spoakv" Dr. Derby's Kidney Pills are now sold at all drug stores—25 and 50 cents. If you would like to try thern first, ask your druggist for a free sample package.

If the following points are observed the products of the dairy will be wholesome and healthful: 1. Healthy cows—made certain by the herd betng subjected to the, tuberculin test 2. Clean stables, elean yards, clean water supply for the animals. 3. Clean cows, made so by frequent brushing, especially about flanks and udder before milking, 4. A milker with clean clothes and clean hands. 6. All utensils in which milk is*to be placed should be scalded before using. 6. Do not leave milk uncovered in the barn and remove it to a special dairy house as soon as possible. The points to be considered in producing good cream are as follows: 1. The cream separator should be thoroughly washed and scalded. 2. The eream should be cooled at once. 8. Never mix warm and cold milk. 4. Keep cream in cool well ventilated room free from bad odors, 5. Stir the cream frequently to pre* vent lumps. / 6.

OAVJ^ILY, Pub. PINCJC^EY, - - - ATHMHO^; |l" ' ' 1 4--JUJ SOIL CONSERVATION. In the last decade covered by senpus reports the average acre devoted to wbiKjst in the^United States produced 13.5 bushels a year. Austria, In the game period, produced 17 bushels per acre, France, 19.8. Germany.27.6 and tbe United Kingdom 32.2. In the eame decade our average yield of oats was less than 30 bushels per acre, while Great Britain's was 42 and Germany's 46. For barley the figures are 25 bushels per acre, as compared with 33 for Germany and 34.6 for Great Britain. Comparisons similarly unfavorable to our agricultural progress might be presented at wearisome length, say+j the Obio State Jourual. Nearly all show that our boasted soil is giving poorer resultB than the bardworked farm lands of European countries, It Is not the soil's fault. It Is because we have neglected the con servation of our soil, Just as we have neglected the conservation of our forests and our other natural resources. "We have been forever taking something out and putting, nothing back. As James J. Hilk who is heart and soul for better farming because he wishes ht3 great granger railroad interests to pay better, says our agri: culture Is in'the condition of a bank •whoee-depositors-ar©-steadily drawing out more than they put in. TIDAL W A V E CAUSED BY EARTHQUAKE SWEEPS SOUTHERN MEXJQAN COAST. W H O L E T O W N 8 SWEPT OFF T H E E A R T H . A dispatch from Carlsbad to tbe New York World states that American women, as usual, are the queens of fashion at that famous watering place, and proceeds to name a number who are particularly noted for their stylish dresses. The West figures in the list quite as conspicuously as the East. The dispatch states that Carlsbad has been very gay this season and more crowded than it has beeu in 40 years. Back In 1878 the place was packed to overflowing by 14,000 visitors. Already this season the number of arrivals has exceeded 70,000. Of course accommodations are Increased year by year, but they do not keep pace with the rush. From these statistics there is an opportunity to measure the extent to which the wealth of Germany as well as the habit of foroign travel among Americans has grown.

Buried under thousands of tons of water cast up by a terrific earthquake iu the Gulf of California, the towns of San Jose de Guayamas, Emnalmo and Arti/., on the eastern shore ol' the gulf, were destroyed on the early morning of October 4, and the cities of Guayamas, Altata and Topolobampo were terribly damaged by the same wave, which lost some of its force by the time it reached them. Hurricane Rages Five Days. Owing to the fact that the hurricane succeeding the tidal wave lasted five days, cutting off every means of communication with the outside world, no definite news of the terrible disaster came out until word was received from the governor of Harmosillo. the capital of Senora, calling for provisions, tents, clothing, etc., for the stricken, survivors. His message-states that from 300 to 500 people lost their lives either in the tidal wave or in the hurricane', and that it is impossible to estimate the damage done to property along the coast. The earthquake occurred before daylight and almost before the inhabitants of the coast towns had time to become alarmed at the earth tremors, a huge wall of water, 20 feet high, swept in from the gulf, carrying everything before It. Survivors Tell Sad Tales. Ships and houses were Bwept far inland and deposited, half a mile or more on the sand dunes of the interior. The survivors, many of whom are suffering from broken arms or legs, tell heartrending tales of the scene when the huge waves struck the sleeping towns and men and women were drowned in thtir beds, or crushed beneath the fallen wreckage- Farm Product Prices Compared With 1910.

CHAPTER XVI—(Continued.) It wap a grim picture of depravity and desolation, the environment dull, gloomy, forlorn; all that was worthy the eye Qr thought being the pulsing human element. AH about extended the barren plains, except where on one.side a ravine cut through an overhangltrg ridge. From the seething street one could look up to the summ i t and see there the graves of. the many who had died deaths of violence, and been borne thither in "their boots." Amid all this surrounding desolation was Sheridan—the child of a few brief months of existence, and destined to perish almost as quickly— the center of tbe grim picture, a mere cluster of rude, un pa in ted houses, poorly erected shacks, grimy tentB flapping in the never ceasing wind -swirling across the treeless waste, the ugly red station, the rough cowpena - filled with lowing cattle, the huge, ungainly stores, their false fronts decorated by amateur wielders of tbe paint brush, and the garish dens of —vlee-tacked-ln-everywhere. The pendulum of life never ceased swinging, slety was mixed; no man cared who was, or dared to "question.

A few smaller tables at the back of the room were distinguished from the others by white coverings in place ef oilcloth, evidently reserved for the more distinguished guests. Disdaining ceremony* tbe new comer wormed his way through, finally discovering a vacant seat where his back would be to the wall* thus enabling him to survey the entire apartment It was not of great interest, save for its constant change and the primitive manner in which the majority attacked their food supply, which was piled helter-skelter upon the long tables, yet he ran his eyes searchlngly over the numerous faces, seeking impartially for either friend or enemy. No countenance present, as revealed in the dim light of the few swinging lamps, appeared familiar, and satisfied that he remained unknown, Keith began devoting his attention to the dishes before him*::mcntally -express^ ing his opinion as to thefr attractiveness. Chancing finally to again lift his eyes, he met the gaze of a man sitting directly opposite, a man who somehow did not seem exactly in harmony with his surroundings. He was short and stockily built, with round rosy face, and a perfect shock of wiry Hair brushed back from a broad fore- Puzzled at the unexpected recognition, yet realizing the friendliness of the man, Keith grasped tbe pudgy fingers extended with some cordiality. "Don't remember me I s'pose—don't think you ever saw jne—delirious when I came — hate to tell you what you was talking about—gave you hypodermic first thing—behaved well enough though when I dug out the lead—Minie bullet badly blunted bitting the rib—thought you might die with blood poison—couldn't stay to see—to damn much %o do—evidently didn't though—remember me now?" "No, only from what you say. You must have been at General Waite's headquarters." "That's it—charge of Stonewall's field hospital—Just happened to ride Into Waite's camp that night—damn lucky for you I did—young snip there wanted to saw the bone—1 stopped that—liked your face—imagined you might be worth saving—ain't so sure of -it- now, or you-wouldn't be o*ut -in this God forsaken country, eating such grub—ray name's Fairbaln—Joseph Wright Fairbain, M.

"No; Just drifted in here from down hi- Vi- V r*jpv * c . ace, the majority here todisappearing tomorrow—cow tyc, half-breeds, trackmen, graders, desperadoes, gamblers, saloon-keepers, merchants, generally Jewish, petty officials, and a riff-raff no one could aceount for, mere floating debris. The town was an eddy catching odd bits of driftwood sue]) as only the frontier ever~k*ew. Queer characters were everywhere, wrecks of dissipation, derelicts of the East, seeking nothing gave oblivion. « Everything was primitive—passion and pleasure ruled. To spend easily made money noisily, brazenly, was the ideal. From dawn to dawn the search after Joy continued. The bagnios and dance halls were ablaae; the barroom* crowded with hilarious or quarrelsome humanity, the gambling tables alive frith excitement Men swaggered along the streets looking for trouble, and generally finding it; cowboys rode Info open saloon doors and drank in the saddle; troops of congenial spirits, frenzied with liquor, a ^ m ^ d recJcJewlr through the street firing into the air, or the crowd* as t h ^ w l t o led ribands played popular rap<f innumerable ,r. m± ••i- V.: '**& • • « < # it wai a seturnaHa of vioe, a babel of sound, a glimpse of tha bv fernOi Money flowed Wee waterr every man was hit own law, and the tun the arbiter ot' destiny.

"But do you know it was General Waite?" the man's insistent tone full of doubt "I have no question about it," returned Keith, conclusively. "The man was Waite's size and general appearance, with gray beard, similar to the one I remember he wore during the war. He had been scalped, and his face beaten beyond recognition, but papers in his pockets were sufficient to prove his identity. Besides, he and bis companion—a young fellow named Sibley—were known to have pulled out two days before from Car6on City." / "When was this?" "Ten days ago." Fatrbain's lips smiled, the ruddy coloring sweeping back into bis cheeks. "Damn me, Keith, you came near giving me a shock," he said, Jerkily. .lS_houldn,t..lJe--»o- careless—not B u r o J j ^ ^ t ^ ' Q ^ ^ ^ ^ ; : ^ ^ ^ ^ " ^ ^ my heart's just right—tendency to - apoplexy, too—got to be guarded against.

But the honesty of the rugged face only added to his perplexity. "Are you certain your are not mistaken?" "Of course I am, Keith. I've known Waite for fifteen years a bit intimately— have met him frequently since the war—and I certainly talked with him. He told me enough to partially confirm your story. He said he had started for Santa Fe light, because be couldn't get enough men to run a caravanafraid of Indians, you know. So, he determined to take money—buy Mextcan goods—and risk himself. Old fighting cock wouldn't turn back for all the Indians on the plains once he .got an idea in -his-bead—be was that kind—Lord, you ought to seen the fight he put up at SnottBylvanla! He got to Carson City with two wagons, a driver and a cook—had eight thousand dollars with bim, too, the damn fool. Cook got into row, gambling, cut a man, and was Jugged. Old Waite wouldn't leave even a nigger in that sort of fix—natural fighter—likes any kind of row. So, he hung on there at Carson, but had sense enough—Lord knowa where he got it—to put ail but a few hundred dollars In Ben Levy's safe. Then, he went out one night to play poker with his driver and a friend—had a drink or two— doped, probably, and never woke up for forty-eight hours—lost clothes, money, papers, and whole outfit—was Just naturally cleaned out—couldn't get a trace worth following' after.

C—The first Protestant settlement in America was made on the shores of South Carolina, not far from the present town of Port Royal, and by the Huguenots. This colony came out under the leadership of Jean Ribaut in the spring of 1562. This settlement of South Carolina by a Protestant colony antedates that of the English settlement of Virginia by 45 years, and was 58 years before the arrival of the pilgrim fathers at Plymouth. Mass. But this settlement at Port Royal did not have the success that was hoped for it, and had to be abandoned—not before seed had been planted, however, that bears its fruit tq, this day. On landing, one of the first things the Huguenots did was to unite in a service of thanksgiving to God for their safe arrival. They erected a monument to commemorate the occasion. To quote from the Rev. Dr. Vedder, "The stone pillar of John Ribaut was the corner stone of the temple of Protestantism in the Western hemisphere." It was not vintil after the edict of VNKJNO/l^fc: tWft immigration of Huguenots to South Carolina took place. Four prominent settlements were made—one on the Santee river, one on the Cooper river, one c*it St. Johns, Berkely, and the other in the city of Charleston. One of the ttrst steps taken by each of these colonies was toward The establishment of a church wherein they might worship according to their faith. The Huguenots of Charleston make two distinct claims outside that of having the only Huguenot church in The Worst. Re—1 shouldn't marry unless woman was my exact opposite.

In the cemetery surrounding it lies entombed the dust of many who have slept there for more than two centuries, the pioneers of the church. On the tombs are engraved names that have become historic in the annals of South Carolina. The present building was erected In 1845. It is stone, in Gothic style, with ornamental masonry extending In pointed columns above the roof. It suffered greatly, as did all of the churches of Charleston, from the terrible earthquake of 1886. The first church building was burned in 1740. The congregation took steps to erect another, which Bhared the same fate; and still. another, which was also burned. The present building stands today unique in history, the only Huguenot church in America. Barnes Storme—Ah! me boy, but w» had the run of our life in Oskalooea.

Will Save $3.50 on Every Ton of Coal Used Whereas the ordinary Base Burner uses oniy one half tfie heating power of hard coal when it allows the gases to escape, the searchlight utilizes all the ingredients, thus saving $3.50 on every ton of coal. Will Hold Fire Seven Days and Seven Nights This; mind you, with one filling^ Will Heat Floor Five Foot From Stove Not necessary to put your feet up-on the stove to warm them.

The Pinal Game With Stockbrldfte. We motorel out to Fowlerville, To see the county fair Aud Stockbridge canje, a sturdy bunch, With grim determined air. Theysaid the game would be A. cinch, " They had It a)i sewed up, But well we knew there's many a slip, Betwixt the lip and cup. The afternoon sped swiftly on, Tbe time to play drew nigh, The Piuckney boys looked meefcly 'round Aud each one heaved a Btgh. Two-thirly came alas! too soon, Pete Conuere said play ball, Then on the crowd assembled there A mighty hush did fail. Young lefty Dodge assumed tbe mound With a fierce look of hate, Doc Roche spat deftly on his palms . . And stepped up to the plate. Young Dodge rght swiftly flung the ball, Doc Strang his bat and then, The ball fell lightly in Bert's hands, But hopped right out again. I wish you could have heard tbe groan, The Stockbridge crowd sent up. I wish yon could have Been their tears, J-ttmrirtfaey'd fill anccp".

It only derdena th e fire, causing a cold house in the morning. The fire in the Searchlight is regulated entirely by the Oombustion Damps: No Fine Dust or Ashes There are no poke holes iu the Searohlight. Everything is air tight. The fine ash is carried up a dust fine and not on to your furniture. No CIMers_or Unburnt Coal — 6¾ r.< The Searchlight burns the coal to a fine ash, as fine as powder.

Then Ade picked up a nifty bat, And sauntered vo the plate, He took three healthy, hearty swings, Alas! they were too late. Then Michael swung his bat in air And to the plate di^etalk Dodge took one look at Ins gray hair And let the old chap walk. This walking stunt brought Dunning up His chin urotrudios out, And when Dodge sped the ball again He fetched it one fine clout, Doc swiftly ambled round the path Tu where he cashed his run, And though they threw out Mike at third I tell you it was fun.

Plumage H E ARMY IS n DEFEATS BY REBELS W I L D RUMORS OF REVER8E8 SPREAD; GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES NO WORD FROM FRONT. • In spite of the efforts of the Audubon society on this side of the Atlantic, and kindred organizations on the other, there is a very decided return to plumage decorations in the latest swell autumn millinery. And when fickle fashion calls, sense and sentiment have to give way, as is shown in this instance. In the picture above is seen one of these latest hats. The feathers are those of the ordinary rooster, shaped and trimmed to a height that is in direct contrast to the broad, low confection of last year. There is apparently no limit to the lofty altitudes tc which these hats may reach. The body of the hat is of broaze brown velvet, with an upturned brim that rises front and rear.

Every Manchu Slaughtered Despite Age or Sex, Rebels Hold the Yangtse Valley. _ The^fficM announcement that telegraphic communication with Hankow had been interrupted, caused consternation throughout the capital. The wildest rumors of reverses to the imperial arms spread like wildfire. Much significance was attached to the fact that the government has refrained from issuing any official announcement of a victory in engagement with the rebels. Government officials continue to profess the utmost optimism. They declare that the severance of telegraphic communication for a period of only 12 to 18 hours over a line 650 miles long is no ground for apprehension. They Insist that the 21,- 000 troops and 70 guns which left Peking for Hankow and most of which are now en route, should be sufficient to swamp any revolutionary attack. Some of the rumors current today, however, hint at disaffection m the army. " ~ Canton Alarmed. . The provincial authorities, alarmed at the revolutionary outbreaks in Wu- Chang and Hankow, are making elaborate preparations to prevent any similar movement in Canton. As an emergency measure, the importation of large quantities of arms and ammunition has been ordered. Every Manchu Was Killed. Six packed steamers arrived in Shanghai from Hankow carrying refugees. The steamer Belgravia "was oc cupied exclustvely by foreign passengers, who were given free accommodations at the direction of the consuls in Hankow. The ship was so crowded that many of the passengers slept on the floors of the hold. The refugees declare that the whole Yangtse valley from Hankow to Shanghai is in the hands of the rebels, with the possible exception of one or two of the larger cities, to which provincial officials have retired with their available troops. It has been insistently stated that Kiu Kiang, 150 miles below Hankow, is under revolutionary control. This is denied, however, by foreign officials and by the representatives of the Chinese customs service. Accounts of the revolutionary attack on Wu Chang as given by the refugees emphasize particularly the massacre of the Manchua in _that city. In the slaughter neither age nor sex was regarded, and it is doubtful, tbe refugee's-&ay+ whether a single representative of the Manchu race was left alive there. Similar slaughter of the Manchua followed in Hankow and Han Yang when those cities fell. Coples_of the Central China Post. "whTcfT arrived on «the Belgravia, describe the early progress of the revolutionary movement. "The revolutionary leaders," the paper says, "displayed secrecy, promptitude and thoroughness— qualities seldom shown by the governing classes In China.

Seed Collection. Every farmer is much Interested in the harvest which is just coming to a close and we hear on every hand discussions of the crops and yields in comparison with other years. However, few realize or have taken notice of the fact that this past season has .been one of the best for the production of forest tree seeds for some time i»St. In BurOpe, tbe forest seed crop is of immense value annually. We Americans have not realised ite value in this country as yet. However, in the next djcade, the crop produced each y e ^ t$long the fence lines and in wood^ota will be looked upon as a substantial source of revenue to its owner. ..Many woodlot owners ~and farmerB* have recently become interested in how they can better their fprest conditions in the woodlot or establish new woodlots. One of the best ways to do is by collecting seeds near at hand, such as, for Instance, acorns and nuts. The black walnut, butternut,- hickory, red and black oak and basswood have all produoed very abundantly this season. The best time to collect is after the first severe frost. The seeds that fall before the first severe frost as a le ate defective and should not be gathered. After the first severe frost they should be gathered and .if squirrels and rodents are not prevalent, plant directly in the area desired. This can be done by filling a knapsack with nuts and going into the woodlot with a spud, pacing along the fence lines, spuding a hole and dropping a nut into it and then covering with the heel. It is wonderfuL how quickly trees planted In this way will develop into good-sized saplings. These should be planted in open places In the woodlot where the grass and briars have come in. A good knapsack is made by t?ldng an ordinary grain sack, cutt'.g down parallel with the sides, H ving two bands about two inches —lde and cutting out a panel about or^-third the length. Tie the ends of the t ack ribbons made In this way and fling over the shoulder. If rodents and squirrels are a source of danger, the nuts should be stored over winter. In the storage of all forest tree seeds, effort should be made to mimic nature. IT nature produces seed8 and plants at once, the forester does the Bame. It nature allows the seedB to fall and covers them over winter with a moist coating of leaves and litter, the forester does the same and the same with those seeds "which, are home high on_ tbe tips of branches and left to the climatis action over winter such as in the case of our sycamore,., ash, honey locust and box elder. All nuts and acorns nature covers over winter. The woodlot owner can collect these seeds, place them in a box sufficient, to crmtain--the-aiaouBtthat he desires to collect. Sink the box in the soil in a well-drained locality, putting in about two Inches of sand In the bottom, then a layer of nuts OT acorns, then another layer of sand, tben nuts and so on until the nuts are taken care of and the box Is full. See to it that five or six inches of good sand is left on the surface. Then place covering of light boards over the top. If there is danger of squirrels and chipmunks, a piece of closely woven wire netting should be staked .over the box large enough to cover an area four or five feet larger than the box itself and this netting should be partially covered with earth. This will protect the nuts from danger of squirrels and gophers, as they\ will not burrow through the wire. In this way, the nuts are kept at an even temperature and even moisture condition and can be planted out tn the woodlot when desired In the spring. Do not try to keep seeds of this class in the dry stat'- over winter, as they will not germimte In the spring to any degree of satisfaction. However, such seeds as sycamore, asb, box elder, black locust, honey locust, etc., should be collected in the fall and hung in a bag on rafters to barns or houses and kept in a dry condition. These can be planted the same as other tree seeds in the spring. Commercial fertilizer a- should be U6ed to supplement the manures made on the farm and the green manure such as clover, vetch, rye, etc. The manures made or grown upon the tarm usually contain small amounts of the plant food elements but are rich in organic matter or humus forming material. These home manures serve to keep the soil In good physical condition, and are absolutely essential to successful farming. Commercial fertilizers are more universally successful when used on land that is kept well supplied with organic matter. This may easily be demonstrated by running the fertilizer drill across a field that has been fertilized with barnyard manure. The path of the drill will usually be conspicuous owing to the increased growth of grain. Very often fertilizers used on land devoid of, or low in organic matter fjjl to give satisfactory returns' and they are consequently condemned as being worthless. In many cases of this kind the fault does not He in the fertilizer but in the condition QI the land. Commercial fertilizers require moisture in the soil to bring them Into solution. Soils deficient in organic matter are not retentive of moisture, consequently the plant food contained in the fertilizer is either not Brought into solution at all or may be leeched but of the soil and be carried away in the drainage water. The idea which many farmers hold In regard to the use of commercial fertilizers that once the practice is commenced they must always be used because their action upon the land is such that after once used nothing can be grown without them Is entirely erroneous. This idea, undoubtedly was originated by those who used commercial fertilizers to the exclusion of all humus forming materials such as barnyard manure and green manure. Commercial fertilizers alone will not restore the fertility of a run-down soil. This can only be done by using materials having a large amount of organic matter. This fact cannot be too strongly emphasized, and it should be repeated over and over. The supply of humus in the soil must be maintained and this can only be done by using materials rich In organic matter, such as barnyard manure or green manures (clover, vetch, cowpeas, rye, etc.). Commercial fertilizers are used to furnish plant food in a more readily available form than it exists In the soil, while the humus-forming fertilizers are used to Improve the physical condition of the soil In Which the plants must live. There are^-Of course,, other - conditions governing the productive capacity of a soil, such as cultivation, drainage, climatic condition, seed selection, etc, but these cannot be discussed at this time.

The selected ears should be placed where they will dry in tbe shortest reasonable time and various methods have been employed for this purpose. There is no better method from the standpoint of efficiency than the old one of braiding the ears together by the husks or tying them in lots by strings and hanging in the summer kitchen or in the attic above, near the stovepipe. This, however, requires considerable room and is not altogether satisfactory to the workers in the kitchen. A furnace room is a good place, providi n g it Is well ventilated and an occasional fire i s built. Frequently the corn is left In crates and while this is usually a successful method, there Is more or less danger from molding; com so stored should be watched care* fully until It is known to be thoroughly dry. Storing.—Many contrivances have been used to hold the ears. Racks on which the ears can be placed to single layers are good if mice and rats can he kept out of the room. Bars suspended in links of binder twtne win keep well and be safe from mice. The soft pith" in the butt of the ears makes it possible for them to be hang on nails which have had the heads ent off after being driven into upright posts. An inverted pan will need to be nailed about tbe bottom of the poet to prevent mice from reaching the MINISTER HELD FOR GRIME. Charged With Having Murdered Girl to Whom He Was Engaged. Rev. Clarence Virgil Thompson Richesson, pastor of the Immsnuel Baptist church of Cambridge, Mass., a handsome Virginian, was arrested on the charge of killing Miss Avis Unnell, a pretty Hyannis girl, to whom he was formerly en eased. It is charged that he threw over Miss Linnell and wanted to get her out of the way BO that he might marry Miss Violet Edmands, a -rich Brookline, Mass., girl. Cards of invitation were out tor his marriage to Miss Edmands. Richeson at police headquarters emphatically protested that a terrible error had been made in his arrest. Fiancee'* Fether Will Defend Rfcheson. 'Mr. Richeson will have as good a defense as money can buy," declared Moses Grant Edmands, millionaire father of Violet Edmands, whom Clarence V. T. Richeson, charged with the murder of Avis Unnell, was to have married 'October 31. Edmands and hia daughter firmly believe in the innocence of Richeson, while the police as firmly believe in his guilt. A cyclonic wind, believed to have reached a velocity of 150 miles an hour, destroyed the aerials at the navy wireless station at Unalaska, Cal. Five men are stationed there, but a s . far as known none was injured. The station recently broke the world's record for daylight wireless transmission by communicating with Mare island, a distance of 2,000 miles.

As many as a half dozen have been struck by lightning in this state alone, and in almost every Instance the structure has been of the faailiar style of architecture that was instituted by our forefathers and has been more or less cherished ever since. Somewhat squarely buiH, with a lofty spire, the New Enflamd meeting house has been a familiar feature to the New England worshiper wherever he might And himself, and though all else was strange, that made him feel that he was In his own country. The lofty spire, however, has proved an element of danger according to our recent experience. In almost every instance, as the reports run, the bolt "struck the steeple" and traveled downward. In rural, communities, especially where the church rises above most of the surrounding buildings and is' crowned by & tapering tqwer as high as the m^in structure, It seems to offer a special challenge to the raging elements, whether they take the form of wind or lightning. The "White church" at West Springfield, which suffered yesterday, had been struck twice previously during Jth*_paat_ ten yearly and in WiU braham, Brookfleld and other places it was upon the spires that the destructive force alighted.—Boston Transcript Single Pojjnd o# Well-Ripened Product Contattje Merit Nutriment Thati Two fPoutt^s of Pork.

The farmer, of all people, is perhaps the least dependent upon his fellow men, and on every fair*sized farm there annually goes to waste several hundred pounds of nectar, unless he has the means of gathering and storing for the use of himself and family. It Is not necessary that the farmer beekeeper become a competitior in the market with the expert bee keeper, and in most instances this would not be desirable or profitable, but the farmer should produce at least enough to supply his own table, if not more. •: GOODRICH A EDUCATION BAD FOR GENIUS COMFORT IN A SHOWER BATH Few Things More Pleasing Than to Stand Under 8prlnkfer Just Before Going to Bed.

Armstrong of the passenger traJn was killed and several of the Odd Fellows were more or leeB mured. Engineer Beatty of the passenger locomotive had a mir* aculous escape from death, sustaining slight injuries to the head ami body. The *rew of the freight engine jumped in time and were uninjured. Frank E. Phelps, a member of Diamond lodge, is perhaps in the worst condition. His spine was injured and his condition is regarded as serious. John Dunlop sustained a bad Rcalp wound and 1B conftned to his bed, Several others received bruises and cuts, but none were seriously enough injured to be sent to a hospital. Fireman Scalded to Death, The fireman met a horrible death, being crushed between the engine and the tender and then scalded to death by escaping steam. He lived for about an hour and was extricated from the wrek by the Odd Fellows, who piled i'rom the coaches after the collision and went to work to rescue the fireman and the engineer. Armstrong lived but a ehorf* time after he had been taken from the wreck, but was unconscious all the time. Beatty, the engineer, < was found cooped up in the engine cab and had to crawl through a narrow hole to get out. The special left Saginaw at 1 o'clock, after the degree teams of the two Detroit lodges had performed the ritual work for the grand lodge. The train consisted of two coaches, a baggage car and the locomotive and coal tender. The Odd Follows were amusing themselves and keeping awake by playing poker and singing. Several were wandering up and down the aisles of the cars playing jokes on each other. Suddenly there was a crash and a _Phack_ wWch -tbreuLjhose walking in the aisles to the floor and badly shook up passengers in seats. Fifty-one Deaths in Copper Mines.

More deaths occurred in the Calumet & Hecla than in any other mine, probably not due to lack of precaution in the Calumet & Hecla, or by more dangerous chances taken by men, but because more men are employed by this company than by any other.

An attempt was made eo wreck President Taft'a train on the Southern Pacific aj, a big trestle near Santa Barbara, California, and that it failed was due to the watchfulness of railroad men. Thirty sticks of dynamite and a ten-foot fuse placed on the track is in tbe possession of Southern Pacific officials. The railroad watchman at El Capitan bridge, a structure about 700 feet long across the gorge near Ga viota station, 10 miles north of Santa Barbara, saw two men walk down the track about 2 o'clock this morning and stop near the middle of the big bridge.

When a young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to it, when five years ago a small spot showed upon my left, ankle. I was worried and sent for a doctor. He said it was eczema. He drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of a match and about an inch long. The small hole grew4 to about the size of an apple, and the ecsema spread to the knee. The doe* tors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole toot ran water all the time.

In some distant apartment a fellow was struggling to draw off his tight boots, skipping about on one foot amid much profanity. That the boot conquered was evident when the man crawled Into the creaking bed, announcing defiantly, 'if the landlord wants them boots off, let him come an' pull 'em off." Across the hall was a rattle of chips, and the voices of several men, occasionally raised in anger. Now and then they would stamp on the floor as an order for liquid refreshments from below. Prom somewhere beyond, the long-drawn melancholy howl of a distressed dog greeted the rising moon.

Miss Hope—more widely known as Christie- Maclalre—had claimed this drunken lad as her brother, but. according to Hawley, he had vehemently denied any such relationship. Yet there must be some previous association between the two, and what this was the plainsman proposed to discover. The problem was how best to cause the fellow to talk frankly—could he be reached more easily by reference to the girl or the gambler? Keith studying the sullen, obstinate face confronting him, with Instinctive'antagonism over bis intrusion, swiftly determined on the girl. "It was not very nice of me to come In on yon this way," he began, apologetically, "but you see I happened to know your sister." "My sister? Oh, I guess not!" "Yes. but I do," throwing a confidence into his tone he was far trom feeling, "Miss Hope and 1 are friends." The boy sprang to bis feet, his face flushed. "Oh. you mean Hope? Do you know her?

[9 it not strange that intelligent people will sit for a whole hour and breath tbe poison from eacb others lun.s in a church, while it they were to go to any other place of entertainment they would soon notice and complain ol tbe lack of proper ventilation? People will risk their lives almost in order to breath fresh air at night, but will kit in a foul atmojpbere and take, into their systems poison in immense quantities and then wonder why they always have a headache when they no to cbarcb. Daring the summer months tbe danger is not sc great, but now tb*i tbe winter season is upon us and ib weather outside is not so agreeable a greater degree of caution is necessary, but at tbe same time tbe necessity for tresb air is all tbe greater, because ot tbe addition of the furnace beat to tbe other impurities of tbe close atmos* pheve, and it behooves us to look after tLis matter and use more intelligence in ventilating the churches as well as other public buildings where people congregate. A r e t h e p e o p l e w h o a t t e n d t h e a t e r s any m o r e Intelligent than t h o s e w h o a t t e n d t h e c h u r c h e s ? We should not like to thick so, yet tbe people who attend theaters would soon raise a clamor if compelled to sit m such an atmosphere as usually pievails in most of tbe churches. We firmly believe that more people would attend church If they were not compelled to always go borne witb a dull headache and realize tbat it is so very unnecessary. If tbe janitor does, not know or care bow tbe cbnrcb is ventilated, an educated minister should and it would be an easy matter lor him to look after such an item and yet by go doing be might accomplish more good than by working himself into a fever m trying to convince people ot a great many things they already know. Windows should be opened from tbe top and by using some care and judgement that no one is compelled to sit in a draft, a multitude ot ills may be avoided and tbe people be more wide awake and bappy in the knowledge tbat some care was being taken to make tbe cburcb going safe and pleasant.

Health, in oar own particular case, means perfect organization for economical production and the continued delivery of reliable tailoring that commands the confidence of the many merchants who represent us throughout the country. If you were to visit our large modern, sanitary shops and inspect our progressive methods and policy, you would more fully appreciate the reason why we deliver clothes individually tailored to satisfy over 200,000 particular dressers each year. Fostered by the purchase of woolens and trimmings direct from the mills in enormous quantities at close prices and aided by the highest possible standard of workmanship and materials—both visible and invisible— our unswerving purpose of honest value-giving in every detail of tailoring has made our dependable clothes the standard of excellence and satisfaction in fit, style, wear and price.

For instance take the subscription price of The Youth's Companion for a year— $1.75. If all the good reading in 52 weekly issues were printed in book form, according to its kind, it would make about 30 volumes of fiction, science, essay by famous writers, household management and economies, sports and pastimes' for boys; natural history, ancedote humor, etc. The serial stories alone would fill several volumes. Among these is Baiph Paine's great story of the. Boxer Bebellion in Qbina, "The Cross and the Dragon/' Another is by J. W. Schultz, who was adopted by the Blackfeet when a boy. It is called, "The Quest for the Fish-Dog Skin." Another is a glorious girls' story by C. A. Stephens, called "Julia Sylvester." It is the story of a "Mercer" girl in the pioneer days of Oregon and Washington —and that is only part of the serials.

It is safe to say, however, that fcothing has been more influential in this direction than the Improved means Introduced for marking the boundaries of fields and estates. Nor has the provision of better facilities in this respect been confined by any means to the wealthy folk who havi taken up country life as a fad and have the means to indulge every caprice in that connection. The A TOJJC//Of T//£-* /?2A5r/C common-sense, every-day farmer is fully holding up his end of the respon- •Iblllty of providing a more orderly countryside. Until comparatively recent years in most sections of the United States and even yet in many of the more newly settled districts, farm fences were considered solely from the standpoint of utility. This was perfectly natural. A homesteader establishing an agricultural domain or a sheep and cattle ranch In territory recently opened to settlement has other things to think of beside providing ornamental b o u n d a r y markers for his acreage. And anyway he has, —numerous heavy drains upon his pocketbook at such a time and probably can 111 afford to go in for anything fancy at «uch a juncture, even though be have the strongest Inclinations to *a*e—everything—about QATSWAY TO A fA/?Af xvm •**« • * * & $ the place In apple-pie or o'er. These considerations explain bow it has been , that as each section of the United States has In turn been settled the pioneers have availed themselves of the most economical means of indicating boundary lines. The farmer wants to. have his lines, as vouched for by a surveyor, marked clearly, since that forestalls tremble later on and he wants tc keep cattle, etc., out of his cultivated tracts, even if he has no stock of hit own that he wishes to restricted to a given area. But in the old days no farmer felt that he could afford to lay out much money In fixing such limitations. Almost invariably the pioneer or early settler In any community waB anxious to find material for bis -fences on the place. This will exptaln the almost universal nse In our whole broad farm domain of the old familiar type of slg-zag rail fence. And Just here be It noted that it is an admirable type of fence, too. Cheap to construct, if the rails be split from timber on the place; easy to keep in repair; substantial and enduring: tt ts calculated to yield excellent service. This to the type of fence that Abraham Lincoln constructed and its fame may go down to posterity through the rails which are treasured as precious relies because he split them. The early settlers in stony districts, such as New England and certain sections of New York, including the famous Mehawk Valley, in many Instances made their first fences of stone, tn this respect they were in one sense ahead of tbejr times because stone fences are constructed now* aaay* because of their artistic and picturesque attributes and are preferred by people to whom -expense is no object As a matter of fact a fence of loose stones was never a cheap form of con* •traction. On the fact of things it has always an extravagance as compared with tbe rail bat the consideration that leads to its se* Mmi co///rrj?y %SSAT OA A weAirxy A/te*/cj+s/ lection In many localities was that the land had to be cleared of stones ere tt could be tilled. It wag no more trouble to pile the stones thus collected in the form of a fence than in a pOe which . OJOOM serve no good purpose and It took less time VJew thus arrange the' stones along the boundary itotw than to cart them to some distant dump. ,,;«p the average farmer- working such land killed ^wawtfetfr "with on* stoney so to speak, end tat up too** that i»v*a^ Uc*lWes have endoied to • <fhjg. 4sjp. vtfea Appearefioe of the wire fence and particuferty the barbed wire variety marked a new era in fence building to ear rami districts. Nboody two ever conceded that the average wire fence *ae anytMssi>ery4>ee»tifui to look upon, hut tt Jmmvm+J***'»tiwtt***» of ftnaew In the •::'—fv'f ; , . 1 west where timber was too scarce to be wasted on rail fences and where there were no Btones to be cleared. The wire fence has proven an even greater boon to stock raisers, many of whom must needs fence large tracts and who are not disposed to quibble over cost if they can get a fence that can be put up quickly and will stand hard usage. Of course the dramatic Incidents of "wire cutting" days In the cattle country proved that the wire fence was as easy to destroy as It was quick to build, but of course that turbulent condition Is not one that has continued. And while we are on the subject of the wire fence It may be noted the regeneration of the wire fence has been one of the most marked features of the present era of more presentable farm fences. The treatment that has been accorded many of the old wire fences reminds one— in its Ingenious expedient for covering,up old material with new—of the scheme now so frequently followed in coating old brick houses with a layer of stucco or concrete that gives them a pristine freshness. In some instances ivy, roses, or rapidly- growing vines of one kind or another have been planted at frequent intervals along a wire fence—say at each post—and in a surprisingly short time the fence becomes a trellis for a luxuriant growth that Is bound to charm even the most fastidious person and one to whom a wire fence unadorned would prove a perfect eyesore. Another present day ruse for making the wire fence unobtrusive and yet retaining all its virtue as a boundary is to have the fence serve as a core for a hedge. The bushes, shrubs or other hedge-making vegetation may be planted on either or both sidefrfalternately) of the fence and In a few yearttyfo* presence of wire strands and their supporting posts would he a complete surprise to a person who attempted to pass the barrier, so completely will they be hidden. Indeed, a close growing hedge reinforced by a wire fence has a twofold value as a preventive of trespass by man or beast and many persons of wide experience declare that it is tbe Ideal form. The hedga-may be 'permitted to grow to any bright and (pare is, of course, no neeesskr for a farmer, to keep, s u b * / hedge trtmmeTfrhsymmetrica, fashlcaviu tensions with those in*the formal gardens to the rich. The hedge, cloee-croppsd, beautifully rounded A/f OJ.D-fASM/O/tf&JZQ&F'ftGMm and with no wire fence concealed is seen much more frequently than formerly as one, traverses the most traveled roads in America, Such hedges, however, usually bespeak the indulgence of B<?me wealthy land holder who is willing to spend freely for the sake of appearances. The invasion of the country districts by this leisure class, retired men of means and so-called gentlemen farmers, has also resulted in the appearance of great nusjb/ers of stone and concrete walls. Of course such barriers, likewise the ivy-covered brick walls, are costly and par; ticularly so when we take into account the massive gateways which have usually been provided in such connection. There is no doubt, however, that such walls add much, in the-estimation of most persons, to the beauty <if our rural landscapes. Indeed, it Is the walls and hedges more than anything else which cause returned travelers to grow enthusiastic over rural England. The iron fence has shared in the stimulated activity but tbe Iron fence, alike to the stone wall, calls for a pretty heavy outlay, although if it is kept painted it will endure for so many years that it is rendered fairly reasonable in the long run. The picket fence, preferably painted white or white and green, continues to have many stanch friends among the farming class and the running board fence which is said to have originated in New England has spread to many other sections of the country and taken on a few frills suggestive of the designs of "barred pie." Rustic work when well done ts always mighty effective In any rural surroundings and the picturesque appearance of the logs with the bark on is heightened by tbe Introduction of some bright* hued posies. Another latter day development ts seen in the latitude now manifested in the height of the fences in the rural districts. A generation ago pretty much all the fences were about the same height Nowadays they vary greatly. 1% some instances where the fence or hedge is purely ornamental Its height is very much restricted whereas on the other hand It is not unusual to encounter a wealthy land owner whose desire fcr privacy has prompted him to erect—at leaat in the Immediate vicinity of his dwelling—a wait so high that a man on horseback cannot see over It A comparatively low stone wall surmounted by a high tron fence is another form of constmt. tion that has been introduced extensively.

From the standpoint of the butcher or packer the head from the carcass of a beef animal is'only worth a lew cents commercially while the rest of the animal may reach a value of from fifty to one hundred dollars, depending on its size and quality. On the other hand, however,, the head is a valuable factor to the feeder in selecting animals to prepare for market with prospects of profitable returns for the feed consumed. Standards of excellence describing all the .^^68^0^^^^11^08^.^^^ ^ possess p^ittts^ot-^perfelct"IJeiet^niinaThave been devised as we'l as those for feeder cattle which di ^r very materially in conformation a: \ quality from the finest animal. It is extremely difficult to apply a sea e of points to the feeder as there are so many varied degrees of flesh and condition. The score card for a finished beef animal calls for a compact, blocky form, deep, thick and square, with broad, level, well fleshed black, long deep thick quarters, broad, well covered shoulders, deep wide chest and good handling qualities. The same tion is approached. On the other hand, however, ,tbe shape of the head changes very little with the condition of the body as it consists of a bony framework covered by sparse mus> cles and skin. The shape of the head and expression of the eye are valuable factors in enabling the feeder to select the best types of feeder animals. An animal with a long narrow head, small muzzle, small nervous the^very opposite qualities as described in the standard for a perfect beef animal and would have back of such a head a long slim neck, long legs placed close together, a sharp back, flat ribs and a narrow, poorly fleshed shoulders and hind quarters. The eye would indicate a temperament the opposite of that desired in a good feeder. The correlation of parts in the animal body is so close and intimate that the stockman who has observed closely should be. able to give an accurate description of the general conformation of the finished standard calls for a short broad head • body of an animal with the head only with large mild eyes and large muzzle 1 exposed to view as in the case of one reached as a state of great emacia- * O S » e » 0 0 0 0 0 0 » 0 S 0 0 0 0 0 S 0 S 0 0 « < MUSHROOMS AND TOADSTOOLS and big expansive nostrils.

EasrTamJngTiflchT i< Professor of Bottsy, Michigan Amcultaral College The abundant fall of rains having brought out a large crop of fungi in the woods ,flelds and lawns, the old question has come again to the fore: "How can I tell mushrooms from toadstools?" In the first place, the words mushrooms and toadstools are practically synonymous, is being incorrect to reserve the first name for the edible and the second for the poisonous species. To put the question In correct form, one should ask "How shall I distinguish edible from poisonous mushrooms?" In the first place, there is no one rule which can be used to distinguish the two. The following rules are dangerous, because they do not distinguish the edible from the poisonous ones, viz.: Cooking the mumshrooms with a- silver spoon; putting salt upon the under Bide of the gill to notice whether they change color; the presence of pink gills; the fact that the 'skin of the cap will peel off easily; the fact that the taste is mild, etc. As lor. the- silver spoon, nearly every mushroom, whether edible or poisonous, Will turn a silver spoon black if —*• ' ^ A 2 ^ < T t i n t * S * f h * £ ftftSifc "H*** mwahrooina wh»th«r nols/uinus 4» ' ita overcoming HdneY, flw !vs*jiBBB»aQe* diseases, corrects •rinarjr ah4ftt*tr«foe« the urto a c # lutee rheamstisin, ' --^-^- •''> "^3Tft# trie* * » * l e w i n * * sent k r snail, absolutely free.

For this reason one must know his mushrooms well enough to be sure of his Identification of the mushroom. Wfien in douHTdo not eat, is a Bafe rule that ought to be followed by every would-be mushroom eater. Another point always to be observed is, do not look at just one or two of the specimens in your basket, and on finding them good, judge that the whole basketfull are safe to eat. It may happen that the ones you picked up were wholesome ones, while others In the same basket wore of poisonous kind. It is only by trial of the different species that it has been determined which ones are poisonous and" which ones are not. If you find certain mushrooms are abundant and you have no one to inform you whether they are edible or not, this can be determined by trial. Eat first a small piece no bigger than the head of a very small hatpin. If, after one-half hour or so, there is no discomfort, try a piece as large as a pea. Wait two or three hours before eating any large piece. If you still have no trouble, eat a piece as big as the end of your little finger. If this still has no bad effect, it probably will be safe to eat the whole of a small specimen. If this is harmless, you probably can eat that'variety with safety. One last word about mushrooms, never eat them after they are old and infected with maggots or after they have become very dark color or, in the case of the pnffballs, after the inside has begun to get spongy and somewhat brownish rather than firm and white. Again I repeat, never eat a mushroom that you do not know, for for although it is true that there are probably dozens of wholesome kinds for every poisonous kind, yet, it you make a mistake and eat the poisonous A LIVING IMAGE. Mrs. Fondmar—There! Isn't baby the image of his father? ' Oldchumme—Sure! Same lack of expression, same red nose, no teeth to speak of—and, by George! prematurely bald head, too! The Bishop and the Boy. The late Bishop Williams of Connecticut was very fond of children, and it was always a Joy to us youngsters when be came for his visit,to my father's parish. ^Hia anecdotes and storieB enlivened^be whole household. Once when he was staying with us he told the following story: "One Sunday morning, just after breakfast, I repaired to the rector's study, where I was soou followed by his little four-year-old son, who climbed up on my knee and began to talk. Suddenly the little fellow looked np into my face and said: 'Bisaop, do 'oo want to see my piggy book?' " 'Yes, indeed,' said I. So the child slid down and started to get the book. When half-way across the room a sudden idea seemed to strike him, and, running back and putting one hand on my knee, he looked up in my face and shook his little forefinger at me, whispering: 'Blssop, it's Sunday. We must do zis on ze sly!'"—Harper's Magazine. Loss of Appetite) Is 1OB8 of vitality, vigor or tone, a a d IS* often u forerunner of prostrating ea»e.

The Anitas The Anitas strike a new chbrd in musiceal organizations.

It is a difficult thing to find people who sing, play and read with power extraordinary. We are Iqbking constantly iTforpeople who throw personality and individuality into their work and break away from its mooting of stilted conventionality. There are in this organization iftree artiste of merit arU experience,,_ wljo satisfy what we term the progressive'demand of the Lyceum going public. iug under the staid laws governing matter, he breaks the bounds of bis indicated orbit and tries other constellations. Impatient of the limitations that propriety, sets, he makes a coi'e of his own. H i s great leetur$, "The Needt of the Hour," is a trumpet call to reform. Only the uncommonly dull can fail to catch, the inspiration it affords. It is no limp fabric, woven of the warrg,,ttBd woof of pretty words and popular platitudes. He has the audacity to recommend Almighty God to help the people. He carves on! a definite course to be pursued. The individual, human unit is his theme. Truth, honor, justice, patriotism, religion, learning, as well as all of the reverse side, find recognition in the world only as an average of a strange mixture. ' Will you help to raise the average?" The Strollers Quartette As a mark of genuine appreciation of the high-grade programs of this quartet, a delighted populace has inscribed over their name the word "super-fine," and "Strollers," has become one of the most popular of musical companies in the west. A sufficent evideuce of this assertion is found in the fact that during the season of 1909-10 The Strollers were asked for in many more places than there were days in the season. This did not just happen so. There are sufficient reasons for i t ; and those who have taken the pains to analyze the personnel of this quartette and catch the rhythmic swing of its ensemble, work, fully understand. Every man in the world admires a real artist. But when four men'of rare talents combine into one company, the admiration of the listener turn to enthusiasm, that is why Stroller audiences clap their hands. It is considered a mark of musical excellence lo be able to entertain a mixed audiericeAbut The Strollers 4o'not halt there. Tn keepjng >w«th the ^idea that is dominant in each of the four men, thev seek to inspire. Never satisified with ordinary Hehieveinjgjwa, they have • pushed toward the ideal.1'''The people are not tardy in generous response to this. The result is it irtniMcal'^viwaV in every community, vision! b^The.fttroilers. Their I very willingness to rffpomliu ap^neciation establishes friendly relations with all. The vivacity, celerity and spirited movement of this company dwpels all sense of weariness. There is enough romedy in the program to prevent ennui in the unschooled. Evtry Thomas B. Fletcher It is the common consent of the critics of the Lyceum platform that no man of _recenty*jar« has nchteved more brillian success or met with higher favor in the estimation of Lecture Course patrons than has Thomas Brooks Fletcher. At first it was feared by some that Mr. Fletchers,sue* cess was too great—that he would be like a' brilliant meteor to illumine the .Lyceum . world but for a time that he would not last.

The Family Man. The man who makes a good, happy, intelligent home Is the best man there is. It is the home that makes a nation great, and that cultivates the virtues that uplift and adorn humanity. The qualities of head and heart that go to the making of a good home belong to the truest citizenship. If we have nothing but good homes in the land, this would be a great republic. When it is said of a man he is a good family man, It is the same as saying he makes his home a happy and intelligent place; he treats his wife courteously and his children thoughtfully; he builds up a home on the lines of companionship, which he brightens with intelligence and aspirations; he loves his home and stays there except when buEiness^social o t public -duty callfi him elsewhere; he delights In good books and music and art and flowers, and reflects Sn his life the effulgence of them all; he talks and thinks above the gossip and trivial things about him and often deals with the more serious and instructive concerns of life.—Ohio State -JOUWftt. — j Swayed by Toll of Bell.

Once at the table of Sir James Knowles, editor of the Nineteenth Century, the tank ran on the relative physical and mental value of women. Turning to Sir Ray Lankester, the aged prime minister (Mr. Gladstone) said: "I am of the opinion that the relative value of a man and a woman is in all classes of society about the same as it was in my grandfather's time in Jamaica. When they wanted to buy a negro they gave one hundred and twenty pounds for a man and eighty pounds for a woman, and," he added, "that is a fair measure of their relative values the world over."—The Strand.

Chao Erh-Feng, commander of the imperial forces, and joined the rebels who now hold the- capital. The legations have received no news officially from Sze Chuen province for the past 10 days. They ordinarily discredit the reports published in Chinese papers, but consider the statement that Cheng-Tu has fallen and the imperial commander been assassinated as not improbable. The American legation is asking that more warships be sent to Chinese waters, as the present number is not sufficient to cover all the ports which are in danger. No American vessel is now available at Chang-Sha, where there are 29 Americans.

Experiments conducted by Dr. A DECIDE8 TO MAKE NAVAL DEW QNSTRATION, DISTURBING SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE. FIGHTING A T TRIPOLI WAS FIERCE AND BLOODY.

Before it is made public it will be submitted to food expert! from many ' states for their opinion. A decision also has been reached by the experts on "what Is vinegar?" Outside opinion will be asked in this-case. too. The Italian government has decided to make a naval demonstration against Turkey. An official statement issued says the Turks and Arabs who attacked the Italians near Tripoli October 2G numbered 12,000. Their losses were 2,000 killed and 400 wounded. It has been found impossible to bury the decomposing bodies and this has compelled the Italians to evacuate the trenches. The Italian losses have not been ascertained. There is sufficient news from Tripoli from various sources to show that the Italians have been suffering far more severely than is shown officially in the reports, though these reports are weU known to have consistently minimized the casualties. But the consorsbip is still close enough to prevent any accurate knowledge of the figures. May Disturb Europe. The Italian government's action in the suppression of casualty lists and the exaggeration of small successes and the postponement of the assembling of parliament simply shows that the government not only fears losing the popular support of the war but of Incurring opposition of a serious nature. News of any serious reverse or the continuance of unsuccessful operations would stir the Socialists to active hostilities and the declaration of strikes. Italy therefore is anxious for peace, but is determined to enforce its efforts. Italy with a view of forcing Turkey to submit took two steps while it is preparing a third. First there was a threatened naval attack in the Aegean sea, which produced • a protest from "| the powers as being against Italy's declaration that the war would be limited to North Africa. May Stir Up Holy War on Italy. The Outlook says it ha3 special news from Egypt that may change the whole course of the war In Tripoli. It states that Enver Bey, whose unquestioned orthodoxy and honor make him almost sacred in the tents of the desert, haA. passed by camel relay through Egypt-- and has met Grand Sheikh of the Senuesi and united" the whole Hinterland in a holy war against the Italian invaders. From uncensored dtewtches from Tripoli reaching England by way of Malta, which, in part- are- confirmed b'y"~";e"nsored dispatches reaching Rome, It is apparent that Italy's campaign in Tripoli already has cost more lives thatn the government anticipated, while the financial outlay will greatly exceed the estimate. The Turks with their Arab ally who at best, it is believed, would only carry on a desultory rgrnpaign^ Q^TeTtflg-a sort of holiday for the invaders, have upset the calculations of the Italians by a series of concerted attacks in which, according to accounts Pent by correspondents without submission to the censor, the Italians have come off second best. Correspondents who have returned to London on account of the severity of the censorship express the opinion that the Italian losses through cholera and other diseases will be extremely severe should the campaign last any time. They say the troops are not suitably clothed for the tropical nights and that not the slightest precaution is taken to prevent them drinking polluted water.

Last August there visited the Cana* dian west the vice-president of the largest individual hardware company in the United StateB. Aa his firm have a turnover of millions, and deals extensively with farm implements, this man took a deep interest in crop conditions in Canada, and on bis return be embodied his findings in an article for the Hardware Reporter. This article should bo of special interest to farmers. The writer speaks of the importance of the spring wheat crop of Western Canada. He might alao have spoken of the importance of the oat crop and! also of the winter wheat crop, as well as barley. Winter wheat during the past few years has been a great success, and experiments have shown that it can be grown with success in almost any portion of the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. But apart from this, t h e spring wheat crop is the one generally grown, and all who know anything of grain, anyone who has had anything to do with markets, knows or has heard of the high character of this cereal and the splendid yields that are annually produced. Reproducing from this article:— "In a land of such great sweep, and of such difference In soil and climate there are many resources, but none are at present of the same overwhelming importance as the spring wheat crop. In the interminable prairie stretches of the northwest provinces it is the one absorbing topic of interest and of conversation during its growing and its harvesting, for upon its success or failure hangs the weal or woe of a large part of the Dominion. Its influence extends far down into the United States, drawing thousands of farmers northwards with the lure of cheap lands, but likewise beyond the gTeat lakes, even to the easy going maritime provinces, calling the flower of their young men to its opportunities. Development in these prairie provinces goes on at high pressure for everything hangs on the outcome of spring wheat. Success has emboldened the raisers of this one allimportant crop, and each year there is further incursion into those northern fields that only a short time- ago were regarded as Arctic wastes. The Canadian Northwest seems to be one of those modern agricultural examples set forth to drive the final nail in the coffin of that ancient MalthuBian delusion that population tends to outrun the means of subsistence, since the only fear now among Canadian economists is as to the danger of overstocking the wheat market. Only abont two and one-half per cent of possible arable lands in the northwest [Provinces is now under cultivation, **afid~this- year—the crop -promises-to7- be close to 200,000,000 bushels, s o that your imagination and your arithmetic can easily supply the answer as to the possible or even probable outcome." During the months of July and August the weather was unfavourable «Ld the productionjOf_a_20JLmlHion yleidToTwheaT^vIirnot likely be realized, but even with this, the threshing reports coming to hand show that tbe< crop will be a splendidly paying one.

Willoughby did not anawer, shifting uneasily about on the be*d. Keith waited, and at last the boy blurted out: "Oh, it wasn't nothing much.

U^ * "W-all, It's Hawley, if you want to know so bad. He said if I would come here and wait for him he'd put me on to a good thing." Was there a deeply laid plot back of all these preparations Involving both Willoughby and his sister? What was It Hawley was scheming about so carefully, hpldlnf this boy deserter to one hand,* while he reached out the other after Christie Maclaire? Surely. the nan.was not working blindly; he must have a purpose in view. Wll» toughby had acknowledged he had told the fellow something once when he -Tjabput his family history, tor he had shows him letttre.

The few scattered facts * which Keith ha* collected all seemed to point to such a conclusion—Hawley had sent the hoy to Sheridan, where be out of eight, with orders him there, and the prom- •stake" to keep him qtiet had gone to Independence seeking after Christie Madeira.

Two men were tramping heavily up the stairs, and they turned into the hall at the very moment he disappeared within his own room. He still retained his grasp upon the latch, when a voice outside asked: 'What number did you say, Bill— 29 ">'* Keith straightened up as though just about what Christie is. It wouldn't have fit better If we had noade it on purpose. If the girl will only play up to the part we won't need any other evidence."

Leaning against the inside of his own door, startled by the rapid sequence of events, Keith was able, from different sounds reaching him, to mentally .picture' most of what occurred in the next room. He heard Bill sink down into the convenient chair, and drink from the bottle, while the gambler apparently advanced to* ward the bed, where he stood looking down on Its unconscious occupant 'The fool la dead drunk," he dedisgustedly. "We can't do anything with him tonight" - "I say—throw bucket water over him,** hiccoughed the other genially, "alien sobers me oft," Hawley made no response, .evidently finding a seat on one end of the wash* stand. "Hardly worth while, Scott," he returned finally* "Perhaps 1 better have some understanding with Christie, anyhow, before I pump the boy any further/ If we can once get her working w f u ns, Willoughby won't have much hand in the play—we shan't ne*d him.

The girl he rescued on the desert—the girl with the pleading b/own eyes, and the soft blur of the South on her lips—was not the music hall singer. He could hardly grasp the truth at first, it antagonised so sharply with all * be had previously believed. Yet if this were true his own duty became clearer than ever; aye, and would be more willingly performed. But what did Hawley know? Did be already realise that the girl he had first met on the stage coach, and later inveigled into the desert, was Hope, and not the music hall artist? He, of course, fully believed her to be Christie Maclaire at that time, but something might have occurred since to change tbat belief. Anyhow, the man waB not now seeking Hope, out the other. Apparently the fatter was either already here In Sheridan or expected soon. And exactly what was it the gambler desired this Maclaire woman to do? This was ttje important matter, and for its solution Keith possessed merely a few hints, a few vague suggestions. She was expected to represent herself as Phyllis—Phyllis who? Some Phyllis surely whose physical resemblance to Hope must be sufficiently marked to be at once noticeable. Willoughby had evidently revealed to Hawley some hidden family secret, having money involved, no doubt, and In which the discovery of this mysterious Phyllis figured. She might, perhaps, be a sister, or half-sister, who had disappeared, and remained ignor- | ant as to any Inheritance. Hopes picture shown by, the boy, and reminding Hawley at once of Christie Maclaire, had been the basis of the whole plot. Exactly what the details of that plot might be Keith could not figure out, but one thing was reasonably certain—it was proposed to 'defraud Hope. And who In the very truth was Hope? it suddenly occurred to bim as a remarkably strange fact that he possessed not the slightest inkling as to the girl's name. Her brother had assumed to be called Willoughby when be enlisted in the army, and his companions continued to call him this. If he could interview the girl now for only five' minutes be should be able probably to straighten out the whole intricate tangle. But where was she? Would-she have remained until this time at Fort Larned with Knle Murphy? There, /was a noise of movement in the hext room. Apparently as Hawley arose carelessly from his edge of the washatand he had dislodged the glass, which fell Bhivering on the floor. Scott Bwore audibly at the loss. "Shut up, Bill," snapped the gambler, irritated, "you've got the bottle left. I'm going; there's nothing for any of us to do now, until after 1 see Christie. You remain here! Do you understand?—remain here. Damn me, If that drunken tool isn't waking up." There was a rattling of the rickety bed, and then the sound of Willoughby's voice, thick from liquor. "Almighty glad to see you, D a r t - am, indeed. Want money—Bill an' l both want money—can't drink without money—can't eat without money— shay, when you goln' stake us?" —"I'll see you again in the morning, Fred," returned the other briefly. "Uo on back to sleep." "Will when 1 git good an* r e a d y - go sleep, stay "wake, Just as I please— don't care damn what^yer do—got new fvien' now." "A new friend? Who?" Hawley spoke with aroused interest "Oh, he's all right—he's mighty floe fellow—come in wlaout In—invitation— galled her Hope—you fool, Bart Hawley, think my sister Christie— Chrtstie—damflno the name—my sister, Hope—don't want yer money— my—my new friend, he'll stake me— he knows my sister—Hope." The gambler grasped tbe speaker, shaking him into some slight semblance of sobriety. "Now, look here, Willoughby, 1 want the truth, and mean to have it/' he insisted. "Has some one been in here while Scott was gone?" "Sure—didn't I just tell yerT— friend o' Hone's." "Who was he? Speak up! 1 want the name!" There was a faint gurgling sound. as though the gambler's vice-like fingers were at the boy's throat; a alight struggle, and then the choked voice gasped out: "Let up! damn yer! He called him* self Jack Keith." " (TO BB CONTINUED.) The chief trouble appears to lie a bond issue amounting with interest to a little ove" $30,000, issued in 1H\)>. .The bonds were defaulted,, and in lD0(j the holders be^an .suit in the United States court. They asked thtu the bonds be made a lieu on the II. M. Loud Lumber Company as well as on the city of An Sable, the Loud company having ut a previous date secured an act of the legislature whereby their properties were detached from the city. This act apportioned the assets and lial:£- ities of the city between the municipality and the township, the latter being virtually the Loud company. The petitioners asked ¢4,1559.(12 from the city and $14.3%.73 from the company. There was a full bearing before Judge Swan, but before a verdict could be rendered An Sable burned.

A Strong Man's Experience. I Writing from. lf"bus_y railroad town the wife of an employe^of^one of the great roads says,: " ^ - ^ ^ "My husband is a railroad man wli(K has been so much benefited by the use of Postum that he wishes me to express his thanks to you for the good it has done him. His waking hours are taken np with his work, and ha has no time to write himself. "He has been a great tea drinker all his life and has always liked it strong. "Tea has* of late years, acted on him like morphine does upon most people. At first It soothed him, but only for an hour or so, then it began to affect his nerves to such an extent that he could not sleep at night, and he would go to his work in the morning wretched and miserable from the loss of rest. This condition grew constantly worse, until his friends persuaded him, some four months ago, to quit tea and use Postum. "At first he used Pottum only for breakfast, but as he liked the taste of It, and it somehow seemed to do htm good, he added it to his evening meaL Then, as he grew bettor, he began to drink It for his noon meal, and now he will drink nothlng^lse at table. "His condition is so wonderfully Improved that he could not be hired to give np Postum and go back to teC His nerves have become steady snd reliable once more, and his sleep Is easy, natural and refreshing. He owes an this to Poetum, for ha hat taken no medicine and made no other ohange in his diet "His brother, who was very narrow from coffee-drinking, wae persuaded by us to give ftp the coffee and use Postum and he also has recovered his health and strength."

Todsy it is one of he crying evils of the United States, Recently the National Child Labor committee has been holding a comprehensive exhibit In New York City of the horrors and evils that follow the slavery of little children in our mills and mines. The evidence of the camera, the bald facts of statistics and government reports have told the story only too truly. Few today realize that such things can be. Hundred of thousands of children have grown old before their time; hundreds of thousands more have been crippled for life at an age when they ought to be running in the woods and fields. Thousands have died before they had even begun to live. And of all the misery and injury and vice and disease and death—it is too shocking to be more than hinted at! The exhibit which the public saw in the rooms at Fourth avenue and Twentieth street has been doing Its good work all over the country since last autumn—in fact, it has been a traveling exhibit. Miss Elizabeth McM.' Dinwiddle, who is in charge of it, has been from one end of the country to the other, showing it where it could do the most good at the psychological moment. It had been intended to show it in New York first, hut urgent reasons called it to other places first. It was taken to North Carolina, where the inadequate law against child labor is more honored in the breach than in the observance, just at the time that a child labor law was pending in the state legislature. It went to Providence, It. I., In order to meet a federation of women'e welfare clubs convened there. It went to the state capitals of Alabama, Tennessee 'and Wisconsin in the hope of influencing the legislators when influence was badly needed to protect the American child ilife against the rapacity of money-mad employers. Better than words do the pictures and posters tell their story of the twentieth century crime against child life. The boys in the coal breakers, the girls in the cotton mills, the kiddies in the night shift at the glass works who ought to have been in bed dreaming of baseliall and trout brooks, the anaemic, undersized, over-worried, sickly boys and girls who should have been at school iLstead of at the machines— they all told their own stories by their faces alone. Go to the glass work, the mines, the cotton mills, the canneries, the tenements— there you shall see them! In some cases the rapacity of the employers is to blame; in others it is the greed of the parents. In some cases it is both. "She just happened in," said the burly overseer in a South Carolina cotton mill when an investigator ran across a baby glrt-of-eight tending her "sides" like a veteran. He was lying. The child was just as handy and useful as a grown-up and cost only half as much for her labor, _ _ _ _ 7n a Pennsylvania coal-breaker they photographed nine-year-old Leo. He was tolling nine hours a day in grime and dirt for a pitiful wage. And there was found on a musty, dusty school file the sworn affidavit of his parents that he was too sickly to stay in school! "Four years," answered a good-looking twelve-year-old boy in a South Carolina cotton mill, when asked how long he had been there. He couldn't tell the letter "A" from the letter "B,H and didn't know how to spell hiB own name! Bob, a boy who worked in the same mill, owned up to fifteen years, and said he had been wording there for eight years. He showed it, too, in his overgrown, thin, anaemic frame, and looked fertile ground for the seeds of tuberculosis. His intelligence had stood stationary with the flight of years, and so he was still doing the same thing he had started on—taking off the empty spools from the spindles. Anything more complex was too much for his stunted intelligence. In the coal mines of Pennsylvania and West Virginia they found boys of twelve masquerading as sixteen. They worked in the damp and darkness alongside of mules and took their lives in their bands every time they went down into the shafts to their daily toil, hundreds of feet down in the bowels of the earth. "I haven't grown any in five years," said Charlie, a thin, hollow-chested, anaemic lad of fourteen, with a dull, stupid face. He has been on the night shift for seven years and makes his 60 cents a night. At Fairmont, W. Va., at work in the "glory hole" of the glass works, where the temperature ranged as high as the human system can stand, there were more boys than men at work. "The works is cluttered with kids," remarked a native. One of the saddest cases was that of little Savannah, a frail eleven-year-old. "The boss says she's a cracker-jack at spinning'," declared her gaunt father proudly. "She ain't satisfied unless she's in the mill." —Poor little Oavanah owuriff up 4hat she bad never had a doll and never played on Sundays because she waa too tired. Her tense, drawn, face war that of an old woman: The gruelling labor of the mould boys in the glass works was really aw. ful. Here were tender youngsters down in cellars guiltless of sunlight, sitting in cramped positions and tending moulds all day long and all night. Other boys worked the molten glass at the furnace maws in heat unbearable by those unaccustomed to it. One baby boy of five was found earning his few pennies a day In the mill where his mother worked. He was too young to go to school! And he was v- . * • • < * • liaayon's Dostcr*.

From lime immemorial beef tea, or a broth made In a similar manner from mutton or chicken, has been a feature of the sickroom, the pride of the housekeeper nurse, a source of comfort to the invalid, the la variable staple of the menu permitted by the physician. When It was indisputably proved thai tha home-made broth was in no sense a food, humanity refused credence and invalid* went ahead with their consumption of millions of gal mending with Insistence further supplies of the fragrant potion. Dr. Thomas Darlington, In a recent issue of the Now York Medical Journal shows, at last tha reason of this unshakable iaita. Broth is one of the few genuine stimulants In the armamentarium now that alcohol is known to be a narcotic Tha experiment* of Pawlow on dogs demonstrate that the ' savory liquid Is powerfully stimulant fc the gastric secretion and other digestive fluids, with the result that real food, given with or after the broth, is speedily and gratefully assimilated. Milk, which disagrees with so many people, will cause no distress if administered after a cup of hot broth. The mere flavor of meat Is thus shown to be necessary and valuable to digestion. What caused disgust among the troops in the Spanish war was that the. preserved meat, while retaining Tickets Not Transferable. . . The Brighton Railway company, loas, persisting in the exhibition of which has just passed its seventieth anniversary, was, although not the first company to run an excursion train, the first one to run a regular service of such trains at low fares. Half, a crown was the fare for a day trip to Brighton and back in the early 70s, but after a time tha company found that It was loalag sroney by the return halves being openly sold. Rather than stop tha cheap trains, however, it prosecuted tha touts who crowded Brighton station and importuned parsons to sell or buy such a golden-haired, blue-eyed, rosycheeked boy that it seemed a shame he was doomed there so soon in life. Of course, fatalities among child toilers-'are far more'"numerous than among adults. Obviously youth is less cautious than experience. Not a day passes that'death does not take its toll of the child workers and passes along many more to the ranks of the crippled and helpless. In Pennsylvania the fatalities and accidents to the boys in breakers picking slate out of the coal with their, little fingers" is 300 per cent, higher than among ¾dults and minors over sixteen. In Indiana the physical risk to children in factories under sixteen is 250 per cent, greater than among adults. In Michigan it is 450 per cent, against the child. Children who go to school under the most objectionable conditions are confined 1,000 hours Annually. In Massachusetts the factory^child is confined 3,120 hours a year, and in"New York where the eight-hour day prevails, he is still subjected to 2,496 hours of confinement. All states with important canning industries employ children without restriction. They can do the work just as well as adults and for far less pay. In the chief cities, where clothing, artificial flowers and other articles are made in the tenements, there are no laws to protect little children. Three and four-year-old fingers find plenty to do for a few pennies a day moro-to the family fund. This tenement*house work, done to save rent, carfares and to impress the children, has other dangers besides those of the child.—TinroonruhTeris just as likely to become the victim. Physicians who will agree to conceal the contagion from the health author!- Ties are the moifc-voptitBT^mia tne tenement-house workers. Agents found women and children working on garments while children were in the same room suffering with contagious diseases. In some of these city tenements where the child is put to work as soon as it can use its hands and before it goes to school—nearly always by compulsion from the authorities—two children die for every one in localities where the child is not put to work before its time! all of its nutritive principles, had lost its aromatic constituents, gone to make the despised extract for the preparation of broths. The physician may henceforth advise beef tea and meat broths generally with a clear conscience and scientific satisfaction; they have triumphed over their enemies and detractors and will resume their honored station upon the Invalid's tray as on* approachable adjuvants to digestion and assimilation, adding one more as* ample to the list of remedies founded In crass empiricism, but finding at laat a trtje scientific basis for their raison d'etre. return halves.

Nomay avail themselves of the tuberculin test when they have voluntarily decided to have the.same made, or when the shipping of cattle for breeding or other purposes makes a test necessary. r We have, always believed that the progressive farmer, for his own financial Interest" if not from reasons of pride, la ever anxious to anticipate legislation or' coercive meaaur.ee in the matter oT sanltattonr"The sam» tary ideal requires the tuberculin teat oX every cow supplying milk for human consumption in any of its forms, whether as milk, cream, butter, cheeae or other milk preparations. The pure food agitation is tending to force the farmer to approach this ideal; the farmer's own Interests suggest the advisability of voluntarily making the test. To thpse who have no other reason for making the teat than a desire to know the condition of their herds as to tuberculosis, we will say that this teat can be applied in one of two ways. Either of these ways necessitates having the test made by one who is trained to do this work. The graduate of a recognized veterinary college licensed to practice in Michigan should be able to make the test for you. In order to make it possible for more farmers to avail themselves of the test, the laboratory of bacteriology at M. A. C. has undertaken to tram competent agricv.V.urat students to make the tubers lin test under the supervision of 11. a laboratory, and there are now a considerable number of such young men who have satisfactorily made tests both on their own and on neighbors' herds. To either of these classes of men, the veterinarian or the agricultural student trained as indicated above, the laboratory of bacteriology will furnish'the tuberculin and the charts for recording the- temperature and other data without charge.

Feed ing may be done three times a day if preferred, the birds allowed all they will clean up in a short time and then the troughs cleaned and turned over. For ordinary fattening? whether it be done in crates or in small pens where the birds can be kept reasonably quiet, a mixture of two parts ground oats, two partB ground buckwheat and one part corn meal may be used; a mixture of equal parts ground oats, ground barley, and ground buckwheat; or if preferred, a mixture of two parts ground barley, two parts low grade flour, one part wheat bran. In either case the meal should be mixed into a thin porridge with sour skim milk or buttermilk, but if it is not convenient tos> procure the milk in sufficient quantities, meat and raw vegetable foods may be added to the ration. If the chickens have been on free range and had only hard grain foods It is well to starve them 24 hours, then start them on the wet mash iu small quantities, six or eight ounces for a dozen bird?, and gradually increase this amount till they are eating all they can.

In boiling, the flesh to be cooked is surrounded by boiling water; in roasting, by hot air, although in roasting proper much-oi-thfLheat. comes to the Joint, as tlce in Michigan, and, have hTm aefidr r a d i a n t h e at. In both caaea, if prop erly conducted, the fibers of the meat are cooked in their own juices. When the meat alone is to be eaten, either roasting, broiling or frying in deep fat is, when properly done, a more rational method than boiling, foi the juices are very largely saved. The shrinkage in a roast of meat during cooking is chiefly due to loss of water. At the same time small amounts of carbon and nitrogen are driven off and a little'acid Is produced which dissolves some of the constituents of the meat. The tat undergoes a partial decomposition into fatty scids and glycerin, tad a little of It is volatilized. It is Interesting and at the same time important to remember that the smaller the .cut pane roasted the hotter should be the fire. An intensely hot fire coagulates, the exterior and prevents the drying up of t h r m e a t juice*.

FOURTH FLOOn iS FLY LINE Above This the Household Pests SeU dom Ascend, Says the Real Estate Man. "One thing about a flat that summer tenants will never take an agent's world for ie the fly line," said the real estate man. "They want to find that out for themselves and resort to various subtle schemes. One woman to whom I showed a flat Tuesday came back on Wednesday to look at it again and confronted ma in triumph when she found several flies roosting on the window sill. " 'I felt that you were mistaken when you told me yesterday that this apartment was above the fly line/ she said, 'so I rubbed a chocolate cream on the sill and came back on purpose to see if the flies had traveled this high up.' "Of course they had. With a chocolate cream for a magnet a fly would climb to the top of a metropolitan tower, but ordinarily it is safe to say that In neighborhoods where both street and houses are kept clean there is no fly line because there are no flies, while in blocks where the street Is dirty and the houses clean the fourth floor Is supgaaet to be about as high as a fly cave* to ascend."— New York Bun.

"She came from the same town that me and my sister came from, but her folks are kind of funny and we wasn't really well acquainted with 'em. But you know how it is in the city. Folks that you knew back home—well, you feel so much better acquainted with 'em than maybe you really are, don't you? "Well, anyway, me and sister, we had a flat together, and we was fixed real comfortable. Youv see, we got our meals at home sometimes or took 'em out, JuBt a s we had a mind to, and sometimes we'd be invited out to eat, and that would save the price ot a meal now and then; though me and sister, we was brought up to be real careful how we imposed on - folks about goln' to eat with 'em too often. You know how it Is. Folks ask you so cordial sometimes to come any time, and then just's llke's not if you go they'll talk behind your back about how willin' you are to come to their house and be-entertained and you don't never seem to think it's necessary to ever Invite other folks to your house and all that kind of talk. So take it all in all, it's just about as cheap to pay for your own meals.

Out at Gecira, where all Cairo hat Its rendezvous at the Sporting club every afternoon In and out of season, there exist large colonies of kites and crows. No sooner are the tea tablet laid out than the former, who have been perched on- the qui Vive on the adjacent trees, start circling round* end round. With a sudden dive one of these hawklike bird* will swoop down on the table he haa chosen and pick off the bread and butter and cake. <: New arrivals in Egypt are always very disconcerted by these antles. It matters not how many people are seated around the tables. The kite Is no respecter of persons and on one crowded afternoon last season, when the German crown princess was taking tea, I remember seeing no fewer than eight tableB swept of their eatables by as many kites in the space of ' a few minutes. These monster birds add to the terror which they strike to the heart of the new arrival by the fact that their flight is so sudden and the theft it committed without stopping. They describe a curve, the lowest point of which Is the plate of bread and butter or cake, and so accurate is their descent that rarely do they leave or drop anything. An amusing factor in this otherwise rather annoying situation is furnished by the crows, who invariably act as scouts for the kites, and the presence of whom, hopping about the grass, always precedes one of these depredatory flights. When the coup has been successfully brought off the crows evince their pleasure by ear splitting caws, and proceed to follow the plunderer at a respectful distance, possibly in oider to express their unbounded admiration In the vain hope of obtaining a few crumbs.. On the golf course t\w kites are a source of endless trouble to the players—and Incidentally one of great profit to the golf ball venders—for it is no unusual thing for your ball to be whiffed off just as you are making ready to put after a record approach.—Cairo Correspondence Pall-Mall Gaeette. ^$B&: FOUND NEAR FL WORKMEN BORING WELL NEAR CITY BORE INTO THICK VEINS OF BITUMINOUS COAL.

The ancients were as bitter on the subject of the stepmother as any modem could be. Their metaphorical uses of these words for a stepmother are cruelly significant. Thus the Romans bad an expression "to complain to a stepmother" (noverca), meaning to complain in vain; and "novercae," beginning, no doubt, .as slang, came to hearecognizetTfermf^r "roughpieces of land or for ditches which drained off the water imperfectly and slowly. _ . ~ . . . .iU •v,^,. clam County Republican club was The Greeks were as bad with their k w c ^ . ^ Q o v Q B b w a g wovdr "metryix-7"- Hesiod spoke of/ *- lucky and unlucky days as ."mother, and stepmother days," and Aeschylus brands a dangerous seacoast as "a gtprmothpr to FhipW' * Old Joke Appropriately Quoted. Senator Sullivan of New York once put in a new form a joke as old as medicine. The occasion was a banquet of homeopathic physicians. During the banquet the usual toasts were drunk. To the health of "the ladies," of "the president," of "Hahnemann, the father of homeopathy," and' of a dozen other persons and subjects, glasses were drained duly, and then, all r-f a sudden, the toastmaster re-' n,;ii:ed: "Senator Sullivan has not bein*card from.. Senator Sullivan will new propose a health." The senator arc fa and beamed upon the assemblage of physicians, "I propose," he said, "the health of the sick?' Libel on 8tepmothere. One,of London's prominent medical men has "got himself disliked" by the stepmothers of all-nations. Th€-froad, the women clubs of Adrian un basis of his offending is his public as* sertion that "all stepmothers are instinctively cruel to stepchildren." Such a statement is regarded, very justly, a« in the nature of wholesale libel. In fact, every observing man and woman in the civilised world can recall plenty of instances proving the falsity of the doctor's charge. This London ttbeter would find occasion for apology to the women he maligns by reading the history of the boyhood of J&raham Lincoln and of the devotion of the stepmother of that great American/—Chicago Journal. Diogenes Again. Diogenes paused and shook the hand of the prominent eitlten heartily. "Is he the honest man?*' asked the Athenians." "&-h-h," replied Diogenes in a whisper.

Plate What is believed to be the largest field of bituminous coal in Michigan has been discovered in a territory comprising 775 acres of land a mile west or Flint. Developments of the property by the Genesee Coal Mining Co., which is now operating a mine east of Flint in Burton township, will soon be begun. Officials of the company are now at work on the plans for sinking a number of shafts and expect to announce within a week or two the date . on which they will commence excavating. The first trace o' coal was found when workmen were boring for a well on the farm of William Wilson. This lead was followed up.

War May Split Triple Alliance. The remarkable outbreak of and Italian feeling in the capitals of It aly's associate in the Triple Alliance oversnadows the actual war news from Tripoli. Throughout Europe, and in Vienna and German cities particularly, the press is frankly hostile, basing its attitude on the reported massacres of Arabs by Italian troops.

IMPERIALISTS FIRE INFAMMABLE SHELLS IN THE CITY. Sftsnahsi "Fell" Easily and Rebels Gave Out Thousands of Captured Rifles—City Great Advantage to Rebels. Almost the whole of the native city of Hankow has been burned and it is feared that the Wesleyan mission near the Hen river, In which are 50 blind boys and 150 wpunded persons, who with the .staff of the mission, make up a total of 300 persons, was destroyed. Dr. Booth, the medical head of the mission, asked the imperialists to grant an armistice of two hours to permit of-removal from the mission but the firing ceased for only a half hour. A Red Cross steamer which attempted to rescue the inmates of the mission was driven back by the fire from: the rebel fort. One shell struck the steamer's deckhouse. When the vessel was compelled to turn back the mission was still standing but its positon was helpless, the flames being wHhm- 200 yards of the building. The fires in the town were started by the imperialists, who threw inflammable shells into the place. A strong wind carried the flames across the river, to Han-Yang, and a strip of that city on the water front a mile long was destroyed. - When the steamer left an artillery duel was taking place between the batteries of the imperialists, which were planted back of the British concession, and the Wu-Chang and Han- Yang forts. Several rebel shells landed in the foreign concessions, piercing the walls of the houses. The Chamber of Commerce aBked the foreign consuls to protest against the burning of the city, but the consuls declined to do so. The property of the Wesleyan Missionary society, which appears to have been threatened, if not destroyed, in the burning of Hankow, consists of the David Hill memorial school for the blind, a men's hospital and a woman's hospital, while across the road from the school for the blind is the mission compound, made up of four houses, a church and a school. Dr. Booth is at the head of the Wesleyan medical mission there.

A negro companion in his cell named Neb tells ram that he knew the Keiths in Virginia. Neb says one of the murdered men was John BIWey.tbe other Gen. Willis Walte, former, ly.a Confederate officer. The plainsman and Neb escape, and later the fugitives come upon a cabin and find its occupant to be a young girl, whom Kerth thinks he saw at Carson City. The girt explains that she la in search of a brother, who had deserted from the army, and that a Mr. Hawley induced her to come to .the cabin while he sought her brother. Hawley appears, and Keith in hiding recognizes him as Black Bart. There Is a terrific battle in the darkened room in which Keith is victor, Horses are appropriated, and the girl who says that her name Is Hope, joins In the escape. Keith explains hla situation and the fugitives make for Fort Lapped, where the girl is left with the hotel, landlady. -Miss-Hops tells that she is the daughter of General Walte. Keith and Neb drift into Sheridan, where Keith meets an old friend. Dr. Falrbaln. Keith meets the brother of Hope Waite. under the assumed name of Fred Wl!- $> loughby. .and becomes convinced that Black Bart has some plot involving the two. CHAPTER XIX.—(Continued.) The dead silence which ensued was broken only by heavy breathing. Then ScoU_ swore,-bringing his fist down with a crash on the washstand. "That rather stumps yer, don't It, Bart? Well, it don't me. I tell yer it's just as 1 said from the first. It was Keith an' that nigger what jumped ye in the cabin. They was hidin' there when we rode in. He just nat'rly pumped the gal, an', now he's up here trallin" you. Blame It all, it makes me laugh." "I don't see what you see to laugh st. This Keith isn't an easy man to play with, let me tell. you. He may have got on to our game." "Oh, hell, Bart, don't lose your nerve. He can't do anything, because we've got the under holt. He's a fugitive; all we got to do is locate him, an' have him flung back inter jail— there's murder an' hoss-stesling agin him." Hawley seemed to be thinking swiftly, while, his companion took another drink "Well. parjL-*to't-4h&i MV^ — — "No, that trick won't work, Scott. We could do it easily enough if we wers down in Carson, where the boys would help us out The trouble up here Is that 'Wild Bill' Hickock Is Marshal of Sheridan, and he and i never did hitch. Besides, Keith was one of hie deputies down at Dodge two ago—you remember when Dutch" Charlie's place was cleaned out? Well* Hickock and Keith did that job all alone, and 'Wild Bill' isn't going back on that kind of a pal, is he? I tell you we've got to fight this affair alone, and on the quiet Maybe the fellow don't know much yet but he's sure on the trail, or else he wouldn't have been In here talking to Willoughby.

He went out into the kali and down the creaking stairs, the man he wanted so badly listening to his descending footsteps, half tempted to follow. Scott did not move, perhaps hid already fallen, drunkealy asleep on his chair, and fiftafly Keith crossed his own room and lay down. The din outside continued unabated, hot the man's Intense weariness overcame it all, and he fell asleep, his last eonsetbu* thought s msmory of Hope. CHAPTER XX - Heps Qees to •herldsn.

The coach used Lad S partition run through it, and, as soda as the busy trainmen discovered ladles on board, they unceremoniously drove the more bibulous passengers, protesting. Into the forward compartment. This left Hope In comparative peace, her remaining neighbors quiet, taciturn men, whom she looked at through the folds of her veil during the long, slow, exasperating journey, mentally guessing at their various occupations. It was an exceedingly tedious, monotonous trip, the train slackening up, and jerking forward, apparently without slightest reason; then occasionally achieving a full stop, while men, always under guard, went ahead to fix up some bit of damaged track, across which the engineer dared not advance. At each bridge spanniug the numerous small streams, trainmen examined the structure before venturing forward, and at each stop the wearied passengers grew more Impatient and sarcastic, a perfect stream of fluent profanity being wafted back whenever the door between the two sections chanced to*be left ajar. Hope was not the only woman on board, yet a glance at the others was sufficient to decide their status, even had their freedom of manner and ioud talking not made it equally obvious. Fearful lest she might bo mistaken for one of the same class, she remained In silence, her veil jmerely lifted enough to enable her "to peer out through the grimy window at the barren view slipping slowly past. This consisted of the bare prairie, brown and desolate, occasionally intersected by some small watercourse, the low hills rising and falling like waves to the far horizon. Few Incidents broke the dead monotony; occasionally a herd of antelope appeared in the distance, silhouetted against the skyline, and once they fairly crept for an hour through a mass of buffalo, grazing so close that a fusillade of guns sounded from the front end of the train. A little farther along she caught a glimpse of a troop of wild horses dashing recklessly down into a sheltering ravine. Yet principally all that met her straining eyes was sterile desolation. Here and there a great Many a case of kidney disease has ugly watsrl tank__teared its hideous- proven fa^!Hbeesuse~~the~symptoms construction work had been suspended on the line indefinitely, and most of the travel, therefore,"had changed toshape beside the track, the engine always pausing for a fresh supply. Beside it was invariably a pile of coal, a few construction cars, a hut half burled under earth, loop-holed and barricaded, with several rough men loafing about, heavily armed and Inquisitive. A few of these points had once—been icermtnaT, the-SurtounoTng" scenery evidencing past glories by piles of tin cans, and all manner or debris, with occasionally a vacant shack, left deserted and forlorn. Wearied and heartsick, Hope turned away from this outside dreariness to contemplate more closely her neighbors on board, but found them scarcely more Interesting. Several were playing cards, others moodily staring out of the windows, while a few were laughing and talking with the girls, their conversation inane and punctuated with profanity. One man was figuring on a scratch pad, and Hope decided he must be an engineer employed on the line; others she classed as small merchants, saloon-keepers, and frontier riff-raff. They would glance curiously at her as they marched up and down the narrow aisle, but her veil, and averted face, prevented even the boldest from speaking. Onoe she addressed the conductor, and the man who was figuring turned and looked back at her, raiders, but there was no crowd evidently attracted by the soft note aboard on this special trip, as all sf her voice.

He waited impatiently while a porter scrambled down and placed his step in position for the passengers. The frown of anxletj on the brow of young Brooks vanished Instantly when a slender young woman appeared at the car door. She descended calmly and held out her band In greeting. She was blonde and pretty and wore a becomingly plain dark gray traveling suit. There was an orchid in the button* hole of that becoming traveling suit. Young Brooks had a violent pang at the sight of the orchid as he thought of its possible significance. "1 had the most delightful visit in the world," the girl- was saying, ubut it was much too short. Two weeks is such a little while, isn't It?" "That depends," returned Brooks, a bit crossly, "on how much you are enjoying it! The last two weeks haven't been short to me." The girl looked flattered, but perfectly self-possessed. "Really?" she inquired, sweetly, "My the way," she" said with sudden surprise, "I suppose father is here somewhere?" "No," young Brooks replied. "I phoned out to your house yesterday and told your mother that I should bt down here this morning, anyway, and arranged—that is, I asked to be "allowed, to meet you." "Oh!" said the girl.

All Owing Us on Account a r e Requested to Call arid Settle by November 15th If Possible as We have Heavy Bills to Meet on that Date. Respectully Yours urphy ec Roche Pinckneyf Mich. A series of exhaustive tests at the Indiana experiment station has demonstrated beyond doubt tbat good silage used judiciously is an extremely desirable feed for eheep in winter It has an excellent effect upon the digestive system and upon the general health and thrift of the lambs. Ewes 4-fe4-4urfag the -winter _on_J»tioni eluding a liberal amount ef silage gain an average each winter of 20 pounds, while those similarly fed without silage gain only 16½ pounds. Those receiving the silage also consume more than 7 per cent leas grain and over 82 per cent less clover hay than those maintained exclusively upon dry feed. It also had a valuable effect upon the fleece, those receiving silage having a slightly heavier coat of wool. Of the lot of fall Mmbs whioh were finished as hothouse lambs during the spring of 1909 those fed on silage rations were considerably fatter and better than the ones receiving dry rations. It should not be assumed, however, that an undue amount of silage will prove satisfactory in the feeding rar tion. Extreme care should also be observed not to feed frosen or partially decayed silage or silage unusually sour. Balance the7 ration up with plenty of clover or alfalfa .bay, or other good, palatable roughage and dry grain. poses so much of this mountain ranger The mines or quarries are only within a few square miles of territory, but an army of f,000 men and boys are J*a*k_j^jhe_traln—oi»e ^h^ "It Isn't Worth While."

"Let me take this," he said Apologetically, laying his hand on the little bundle. The girl caught It under her elbow in alarm, but Brooks' unsuspecting fingers had loosened it not only from her hold, but also from its wrappings, so that the book which the wrappings contained fell out face upward on the platform. As young Brooks stooped to pick it up, he read the title. "Ah," he said, "this seems to be the book I gave you when you went away. Tou have not read this one, evidently!" "Yes, oh, yes," said the girl and stopped short. She blushed slowly and painfully, from her throat to her hair, and she kept looking straight ahead.
