We seem to have a pretty good illustration of the delay of getting a case to trial right here in Livingston county. The very first of the year a whiskey club was raided at Howell and the parties were found red handed with the goods. Edward Scully and Louis Brayton were arrested for running an illegal joint The examination of these parties before the local justice went through the usual adjournments, but after the lapse of time they were bound over to the circuit court for trial. It now transpires that the case was called in this term of court and was adjourned to the next session of court which convenes in June, but as io jury is drawn for that term, the case can not be tried until the October term of court. We do not know who is responsible for thislietay of nlne^mbntBs befox*4hia simple little case can ^ Jae/'orougHt to trial in the circuit, but to the\ mind of the layman there can be\ no reasonable reason for such demy. It is absolutely unjust to both sides in the suit. If they are innocent they should not be held in jeopardy and under • cloud of suspicion during the length of time and if they are guilty they should have been punished and brought to trial for their offence of breaking the law. This kind of thing is what disgusts many people and brings a general disrespect and contempt for all law and discontents the public with courts in general and which leads so many people to to voice their discontent in words that are neither respectful or complimentary.—Fowlerville Review, Motion Pictnre Show At the Pinckney opera house Friday, April 26 at 8 o\jlock the Princess Amusement Go. of Chelsea will present "Before Yorktown," a two reel two thousand foot thrilling story of the Revolutionary War, four other pictures and three high class illustrated songs.

Gather eggs once daily during ordinary times and twice daily during hot or rainy weather. In summer place eggs as soon as gathered in a cool dry room which is free from odors. Don't sell eggs which were found in a stolen nest Market eggs frequently; twice each week at least and daily if possible. Don't sell eggs which have been in an incubator. In taking eggs to market protect them from the sun's rays. Eggs rapidly absorb odors.

Klriiaril Llghtnut, an American with an affected Kngllsh accent, receives a present from a friend in Chirm. The present proves to be a pair of pajamas. A letter Hints of bur-prise to the wearer. I.lghtnut "•ions the pajamas and late at night gets "P for a smoke. His servant, Jenkins, I'ontes in and, failing to rerognlze U g h t - jy-it, attempts to put lilm out. Thinking the .servant crazy, Lightnut changes his clothes intending to summon help. When he reappears Jenkins falls on his neck with joy, confirming IJghtnut's belief that lie is crazy. Jenkins tells Lightnut of the encounter he had with a hideous <-•runaman dressed in pajamas. In a message from his friend, Jack Billings. Mghtnut Is asked to put up "the kid" for tin- night on his way hume from college. Later Liglitnut ttnds a beautiful girl in black pajamas In his room. Lightnut is shocked by thn girl's drinking, smoking and slangy talk. She tells him her name is Francis and puzzles hint with a story of her love for tier sister's room-mate, named Frances. Next morning the girl is missing and Ltghtnut hurries to the boat to see her off. He Is accosted by a husky college boy, who calls him "Dicky," but he does not seo the girl. CHAPTER V I I I . Her Brother Jack. "Good night, Dicky!" came up the elevator shaft. And then more "good nights," growing fainter with their laughter as the car shot down. "Good night." I called after them. "Devilish sorry you fellows won't stay longer!" "Jolly good lie, Jenkins," 1 said, yawning sleepily, aB I dropped back into my own apartment. "Yes, sir," assented Jenkins demurely. "It's sleeping on the divan the othor night, sir. Eight hours there ain't nothing like eight hours in bed and in your pajamas." --"P-ajamaBl-'-JLeia^ulajtejdxjLtarti£CL For all day I had been thinking of her. I wondered if Billings would hap. pen to invite me up tor the week end. Jiut he had so many times, and I had never gone. "By Jove, that reminds me," I said. "Those red silk pajamas!" "Yes, sir." Jenkins' lace hardened in an odd, wooden way, "I was wondering, Jenkins, if those pajamas were torn any in our little row the other night." Poor Jenkins winced a little. "I think not, pir," he muttered humbly— "leastwise, they were all right last night when Mr.—" lie seemed to catch himself abruptly. "I mean when 1 found them this morning, sir.'' He returned with the garments I had received from Mastermann, and again we spread them under the lamp on the table. They looked singularly smooth and unwrinkled. There was not a single tear or break, not even with the delicate cords that twisted to form the frogs of the seat. "My, sir! But ain't they redr' breathed Jenkins. "Them cords look like little red snakes." I cut an anxious glance at Jenkins, for I did not like his reference to snakes. Seemed ominous, somehow, But his appearance was composed and reassuring. And, by Jove, come to look, the cords did look just like tiny, colled serpents of glowing tire. Why, they were so jolly red they hurt your eyes. Pact! And thin as the beautiful stuff was, tbjs brighter red ran aTl over the other, covering every inch of 1t and forming the closest, finest what-you-call-lt embroidery. It was as faint and dainty a pattern as that on a soap bubble! Fact is, I could not trace it, even, with my glass. The only part that wasn't covered with this embroidery business was the stuff used to cover the knots, or little balls, over which the cords were meant to hook. In working with some of these cords, idly fastening and unfastening them, I got a little impatient with one that seemed Vght, you know, and I used my manicure knife to pull the knot through. "Careful, air," warned Jenkins. "Likely to ait something." By- Jove? No sooner said, than 1 did it! The dashed blade slipped somehow and cut into the threads that tied the covers or caps or Whatever-you-call- 'ems, over the .knots. And when 1 pulled, the beastly piece of silk came off in my lingers. And then—oh, but I say! I Just gave a sort of yell and dropped the whole thing! Ever have some silly ass try to scare yotf by poking a red hot cigar at you 1ft the dark? Know how you jerk back? Well, there you arc! For, give you my word, when I peeled off the little cloth cap, regular blazes of crimson fire seemed to shoot from the end of the knot. Fact is, it wasn't a knot at all, but a button—a devilish glassy button, something bigger than a dime, perhaps, and tblck;aa the end of your little finger. And there it lay against the silk, burning its way through It. like a red coal ot hie. And it waa jutt then tht-t Billings rolled i n / " 1 say "rolfed, in," became it always looks thit way! that's the way Billings is built, you know. "I a*3k;.Di<*y" be panted, "just missed'k another infernal express! Plenty more traloe,<b*tI had a great Aspiration ettfk* W that I'd let you put me op for the night.

Just give me something to sleep in, and I'll be aB Comfortable here as I would be at the club—so don't worry any about » e , old chap. By the way, want to thank you for taking care of the kid. Got home all right, I understand." He plunked like a jolly elephant into the largest and most comfortable chair in the room and wheezed for breath. "And, Jenkins!" l i e raised one fat finger while he took a gasp. "Don't mind if I do have a package or Dicky's Koroskos and a sloe fizz—not too sweet, you know; and you may—" Billings broke off suddenly. Then he climbed heavily to his feet, and without warning, heaved himself across the room and seized the button I had just uncovered. Dashed if he didn't almost upset me. "Here, I say!" I protested. "Don't lose that cap." I picked it up from where ho had jerked it to the floor. "It's the cover to hide that glass, you know." "Wh-a-a-t!" Billings swung round, staring at me ( with the most curious expression. "See here, Dicky," he exclaimed rather excitedly, but in a low tone, as he cut a side glance at Jenkins siphoning the fizz over at the cellarette. "What in thunder have you been doing now?" By Jove, I turned cold for a minute, I was that startled. I thought he was going to use the -pajamas as an introduction for reference to last night. But in a minute I saw that he did not mean that. "Where on earth did you get anything like this?" ."Oh, I say now!'' I_.remonstr;aled, alarm changing to a mild dudgeon, Billings' devilish rude manners are so offensive at times. "What do you mean? It's a present from a friend in China." "Present!" Bllllng6' eyes bulged queorly. He stooped toward me, whispering: "Did he know what this button was?" "Why, of course he didn't," I answered indignantly. "Never dreamed of It, of course. I tell you, it was all nicely covered, was what-you-call-lt— upholstered, you know—with devilish nice silk. I cut. it off accidentally, trying to force the thing through that loop. That left the marble exposed" —Bllllngij tuok ihu glass mechanically from the tray tendered by Jenkins and sipped it slowly, eying me curiously over the top. Then he set it back, very deliberately, wiped his mouth with the bit of napery, and without taking his glance from me, waited until Jenkins had left the room. Whereupon, after another searching look at the button, he dropped it with the garment upon the table, and with hands jammed deep in his pockets, faced me with a long-drawn whistle. "Well. I'll be hanged!" he exclaimed. Just a coarse, vulgar outburst, you know—no sense to it; no point at all, you know—that's Billings. He caught upjthe coat again. "And these others—four of them—are they just the same?" he demanded sharply. "Dash it, how Bhould I know? I suppose so," I answered indifferently. And l closed my eyes and leaned back, feeling a bit—Just a bit—weary. Some. how« Billings is always so exhausting when he gets started on something. "Oh, cut it out, old chap," I protested, drowsy-like. "I will," I heard him say. Then 1 guess I must have dropped off a bit, for the next thing I knew he was shaking me. "Dicky! Dicky! Say, look here! Look, I tell you!" I did look, and—well, I was Jolly vexed, that's all. "Oh, I say now!" I spoke severely— Just that way, you know. I went on, remonstrating: "Devilish silly joke, it you ask me. You've gone and ruined the thing, Billings! Flashy buttons like that, you know—too tawdry, too cheap." "Cheap!" Ho almost shouted It. Then he leaned over the back of the leather chair and pounded his fat hea4, against the cushions, writhing his big bulk from side to side. "Quite impossible," I said firmly. "Not en regie at all, you know!" And I fixed my glass and stared gloomily at the things. The five shiny buttons just lay there against the delicate silk like BO many fiery crimson cher-' rles. He leered at me, chuckling. "Look cheap to you, eh? What you might call outre, so to speak?" "By Jove, of course," I answered ruefully. "I can't sleep in the things now, you know. What would people* say?" Billings stared at me disagreeably a moment and said something under his breath. Then he caught up the buttons and the silk, and crushing them in his h&ids, burled his face in the mass. "Oh you beauties, you darlings!" 1 heard him murmur. Then he looked at the buttons again, and dash It. he kissed me. Maudlin—Jolly maudlin, I aay, if you ask me1! "I say, Dicky," he said carelessly. "You may not care for them, but I've taken rather a shine to thejse buttons. Mind letting me have one, eh?" He flashed, a Quick glance at me and then away. "Mind? Why, certainly not; take 'em all, old chap, and welcome." Yet I responded gloomily enough, scarcely polite, you know. And I felt too Jolly prostrated to be curious as to what he could possibly want with the things. Waistcoat buttons, likely— Billings was given to loud dress and other bounder stunts. But he just sat there looking down after I spoke, and presently stole a queer glance at me. He suddenly held up the row of red buttons again. "Look here, you blessed dodo," he exclaimed brusquely. "Have you really no idea w*hat these are, these glass buttons you are yapping about? Of course you haven't, you jolly chowder head, but I'm going to tell you." Ho threw the coat Into my lap. "They are rubies, old man, that's ail," he said quietly. "Oriental rubies, at that—flawless and perfect—the rarest and most precious things in the world." CHAPTER IX. An Amazing Revelation, I stared blankly at Billings. "Rubies!" I gasped. He nodded. "Genuine pigeon bloods, my son, no less." "Oh, come now, Billings," I protested. I felt a little miffed, just a little you know. So jolly raw to try it on that way. I "By Jove, old chap, you must think me a common ass," I suggested disgustedly. Billings grinned at the very idea, "You a common ass, Dicky?" he ejaculated ''Xobody who—knows-you would ever think that, old man." "But, I say—" "See here, Dicky boy, I'm in dead earnest," he interrupted eagerly. "Don't you/ remember my one fad— gems? Got enough tied up in them to build two apartment houses as big as this, Best amateur collection in New York, if I do say it. But I haven't anything like one of these rubies, and neither has anyone else—-:iio one else in this country, anyhow. There's nothing like them in all New York, from Tiffany's down to Maiden Lane, and never has been. I never saw anything like—near like any of them— except the one in the Russian crown of Anna ivanovana. That's bigger, but it hasn't the same fire." ies your friend has sent you are awfully rare and old; and for delicate, dainty elegance and that sort of thing they've got everything else in the silk way shoved off the clothes-line. But as to these jewelB, ybucan just bet all you've got that whoever passed them on was not wise to them being under these covers," Here he got to looking at one of the buttons and murmuring his admiration— regular trance, you know. "By Jove!" I remarked, just to stir him up a bit. And he unloaded a great funnel of smoke and continued: "My theory is that during some danger, some mandarins' war, likely, somebody got cold feet about these jewels and roped them in with these bits of silk—see how different they are from the rest of the stuff! Then, when the roughhouse came, these pajamas were swept along in the sacking— sort of spoils of pillage, you know. It was a clever method of concealment— clever because simpler—a hiding place unlikely to be thought of because right under the eye. You recall Poe's story of 'The Purloined Letter?'" I asked Billings how much he thought one of the rubles was worth. I had in mind how devilish hungrily he had looked at them. But he sighed, then' frowned and answ-erecLimpatient. ly: "That's it! That's the trouble about all the rare and beautiful things of this life! Always some debasing, prohibitiv-e_aor did-money A'alue^dammit!" He squinted at the stones again and let the weight of one rest upon his finger. He shook his head, sighing. "Well, they're over twenty carats each, and therefore, of course, many times the value of first water diamonds. After you get above five carats with real Oriental rubies, diamonds are not in it." With an abrupt gesture he pushed the things away and rose. His pipe had gone out, but I noticed that he did not relight it. I held the gems full in the rays of the lamp, and Billings paused, holding a hungry gaze over his shoulder. "I say, Killings, how mucn did you Bay one was worth?" I asked care- 'Have You Really No Idea What Theee Are?" I just laughed at him. "Why, Billings, these pajamas were sent me by a friend in China, and I assure you—" "Assure? What can you assure— what do you knovP abont It?" said Billings rudely. "What did your friend know, or the one he had these things from—or the one before him—or the one still before that? Pshaw!" And he snapped his fingers. With his hand he swept up the little caps and the long, wirelike threads that held them and sniffed the handful curiously. "H'm! Funky sort of aromatic smell —balsam, cedar oil or something like that," he muttered half aloud. 'That accounts for the preservation. But still—•• He crossed his legs and puffed thoughtfully. 'Tell you how I figure this out, Dicky," he said finally. "These nightlesBly. For a moment he did not reply, but muttered to himBelf. "I didn't say," he finally replied, and rather crossly. Then he whirled on me impulsively. "See here, Lightnut," he exclaimed, "if you'll let me have one of those for my collection, I'll give you twenty-five thousand for It—there!" He gulped and continued: "I'll have to make some sacrifices, but I don't mind that I—H But I shook my head. Really, I could hardly keep from laughing in his face. "Sorry!

Washington.—When a large reception 1B given at the White House the glieat sees occasionally some other f»e8t in civil life wearing over the • m o m of MB dress shirt eome medallion or crosB or bauble of some kind *UBpended from his aeck by a bright ribbon. There are a good many men in. the Vsifeed States who have been "decorated" by foreign monarchs. If the person chosen for the honor is not working in any capacity for the United StateB government he can take the decorative pr«Bent if he chooses to, but If he is one of Uncle Sam's servant3 he must get peraiBsiop. of congress before he can accept fr*in the hands of any foreign king or government a present of any kind. There is in the state department a case full of presents of various kinds intended for American citizens in the government employ. They are waiting there until their hopeful recipients get permission from congress to wear them or carry them, whichever it may be, for sometimes the present is a medal which must be worn, or a pocket knife or something else which must be carried. Recently congress allowed several army and navy officers and a few civilian employes of the government to accept gifts from foreign potentates. Jt will be some time before congress will act again in this matter and meantime the presents will pile up, for sometimes they are sent direct to the state department and if not, they are turned over to the department by the men who hope Borne day to get permission to claim possession. Many Gifts Are Offered. Since the United States became a world power every nation on the face j.cf_the globe has sought to give its officials presents of one kind or another. The emperor of Ethiopia was one of the monarchs to come bearing gifts. It was his desire once on a time to present a ribbon, a pin and a star, the symbol of an order which has existed since the day of Solomon and Sheba, to R. P. Skinner, an American citizen, one time consul at Marseilles. King Edward VII. of England tried successively to get permission from congress to give a silver ink stand to George H. Bridgeman, American consul at Kingston, Jamaica, and a silver writing set to Arthur M. Beaupre, o- wws tfceir oot minister t o the* Artine -ftepublio. Edward also at one e had in stock a good many BOUVCcoronation medals, a sword-i*. two d several silver watches whicfT"he nted to hand over with an expresn of his kingly regard to army and favy officers and to lighthouse keepers who owed allegiance to the republic. Edward finally had his way. 'It took the shah of Persia two years to get permission to give a diamond snuff box to Richmond Pearson, who W^B our minister at one time to Teheran. It took the khedive of Egypt two years also to secure permission to bestow on BJthelbert Watts the decoration of the Order of the Osmaniek .The government of France, although that country is a republic, was obliged to get the permission of the American congress before it could give decorations of the Legion of Honor to Lieat.

The Louise Home for Aged Wome*. a noted Washington institution, is now Just a half century old. The building is one of the landmarks of the capital, standing at the intersection of Massachusetts avenue and Fifteenth street, with Thomas circle one block aw«7 to the east and Seott circle one block away to the west, Massachusetts avenue is perhapB the finest residence thorougfare in the city o|_ Washington. The aged women wh'o occupy the Louise Home are treated as guests and not as "inmates." They have their calling days, Just as do other Massachusetts avenue residents, and In every way are made to feel that each individual is "the mistress of the manse." The Louise home was founded by William W. Corcoran fifty years ago. The primary object of the home was to provide for aged gentlewomen who had lost their means of support by reason of the war between the states. The south suffered particularly in this way, and virtually every inmate of the Louise home is a southern woman. Not long ago a daughter of a president of the United States died at the home. Her father was John Tyler. She had been a guest at the home for many years. Occasionally she would leave it to attend some social affair at the White House, in which she once lived. May Be Enlarged Soon. TJhere is now room in the Louise home for forty women, but it is possible that in a short time tho building will be enlarged, although it has beea proposed that another structure be erected in another part of the city. It is infrequently that a vacancy occurs at the home, except, of course, through the coming of death. No woman under fifty years of age is admitted and none who has advanced beyond the age of seventy years. There is a long list of applications for entrance to the home. In fact the list is longer now than it has been at any time since the home was founded. Mr. Corcoran endowed it adequately. It 1B considered an ideal form of social service and the lines of management laid dowrFby~Mr7 Corcoran have~been carried out faithfully. General Greedy 4* Popular. Maj. Gen. Adolphus W. Greely, who for some years was the chief of the signal corps of the United States army, lives in the city of Washington with his family. When General Greely waB made a major general he relieved a Kansas soldier, Frederick Funston, as commanding general of tho Pacific division of the United States army. It was then that General Greely entered upon the active command of-troops of the line for the first time in twenty years, for the highest rank of line command which he ever before held wna t h a t nt a raptt><n nf n a v n l r y Found Imitation Difficult.

Tfct At the West Point dinner the other night General Greely, who was a graduate, was one of* tbev-^tfests of honor. There was a little feeling existing in the army when Greely was given a high rank, which some of the officers felt ought to have been given to another who had been with troops actively in the field for the major part ,of his service, but this feeling long ago subsided and the general is an exceedingly popular officer with all branches of the service. It is known that General Greely's transfer and promotion were given hira as a reward for the hardships which he underwent in the early '80s while conducting a polar expedition. General Greely was in Washington daring most of his service as a signal officer, and for much of the time his near neighbor was Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley, who went north and rescued Greely and his party when they were on the point of perishing. Trying Position for a Soldier. General Greely was one* placed in one of the most trying positions which ever fell to the lot of a soldier, and there are few men who would have cared to undertake the responsibility, which at that time Greely, as a captain, shouldered. With his men he was at the point of dying from starvation in the arctic regions. There was left barely enough food to stave off death for a week. The rations per man were cut down to little more than a mouthful given out once every twenty- four hours. A soldier of the command was caught stealing food. I s the hope of saving his own life, he was willing that his comrades should perish. The situation was one requiring the sternest measures. Greely knew from his own experience the awful temptation under which the starving soldiers had fallen, for the meager ration of the men was the meager ration of the -commanding officer. Greely walked apart from his men into the solitudes. He came back and Rock Creek park. SaUora are not tho* ordered a court-martial, In which the enlisted men participated with the verdict of death was voted for the man who was willing to save himself at the cost of the sacrifice of others. Four men were detailed for the execution of the culprit. Four guns were loaded, two with blank cartridges and two with ball cartridges. The convicted one was trilled, but unless the heavier recoil of the two rifles told the story, the executioners do not know to this day which of them It was who biarins u> aaanfully ander5[ ta% a e * fired ^ 6 s h o U t h a t bought d e a t h t 0 telti) of too surgeons.

"I, the undersigned, cannot give enough praise to the Cuticura Remedies. I had been doctoring for at letiat a year for eczema on my foot. I had tried doctor after doctor all to no avail. When a young girl I sprained my ankle three different times, paying little or no attention to it, when flvo years ago a small spot showed upon my left ankle. I was worried and Bent for a doctor. He said it was eczema. Ho drew a small bone from the ankle about the size of a match and about fli, inch long. The small hole grew to about the size of an apple, and tho eczema spread to the knee. The doctors never could heal the hole in the ankle. The whole foot ran water all the time. "My husband and my sons were up night and day wheeling me from one room to another in the hope of giving me some relief. I would sit for hours at a time in front of the fireplace hoping for daybreak. The pain was so intense I was almost crazy, in fact, I would lose my reason for hours at a time. One tiay a friend of mine dropped in to see me. No more had she glanced at my foot than she exclaimed: 'Mrs. Finnegan, why in the world don't you try the Cuticura Remedies!' Being disgusted with the doctors and their medicines, and not being able to sleep at all, I decided to give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment a trial. After using them three days that night I slept as sound as a silver dollar for eight long hours. I awoke in the morning with but. very little pain, in fact, I thought I was in heaven.

Bad Teeth Go With Good Brains. An English scientist has pointed out that there are signs of a steady degeneracy In two sets of organs vital to the well being of the human race, and the fall is most marked among the western nations. The evidence is that, coincident with the mental advance of man, there has been a diminution in the provision of teeth. In the ape, the negro, and the white man, brain and teeth are inversely proportional to efficiency. Increase of cunning has reduced the work of the teeth, and the demand of the brain for blood has starved the former; disorders of digestion show that the balance is unsatisfactory.

The feelings of nervousness, the befogged mind, the ill-temper, the pale and wrinkled face, hollow end circled eyes, result most often from those disorders peculiar to women. For the woman to be happy and good-looking she must naturally have good health. Dragging-down feelings, hysteria, hot-flashes or constantly returning pains and aches—are too great a drain upon a woman's vitality and strength. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription restores weak and sick women to sound health by regulating and correcting the local disorders which are generally responsible for tho ebvjve distressing symptoms.

How Can byndon Do It? Read and you will know HE DOES NOT have two or three high priced trimmers to pay. HE DOES NOT depend upon it the whole year for a business. HE DOES NOT have that store expense—light, fuel and rent—it is only one department of his store. HE DOES NOT want to make a big profit on one hat but would rather sell two for that profit and have two pleased customers. He wants the business and to get it he is working to please the people. Now, ladies, you can see how Lyndon can sell Hats at those prices. But Does He Have the Latest Styles? He certainly does, receiving new Hats from the East every few days, getting the latest styles, up-tothe minute. Not only that, but he will take your order for any style of Hat and get it for you at those prices. ——At Lyndon's they are always glad to show their stock whether you bay or not, and he gives you all an invitation to visit this one department especially.

The One Chassis With Different Bodies Converted Dyak, Forced by Sweetheart to Hunt Heads, Brought Those ef Her Relative*. The missionary llgsted a free* offer. "Yet," he said, "I have seen grim happenings in my time. The grln,- most, I suppose, occurred among the Dyak head hunters. "We had converted a young Dyak, and the lad had abandoned head hunting forever. But he met a girl, a beautiful girl, and then—" The missionary shook his head and Bighed, "The girl listened to his wooing, for be was a handsome lad, but smoked heads to a Dyak maid are what Jewels are to a chorus girl, and with a curl of the lip she said: " 'You vow you love me, but you bring me no heads to prove it.' " 'But I am a Christian/ he replied. " 'When did a Dyak wooer ever go a-wooing without heads?' said Bhe. 'You are not a man; you are a girl!' "The young convert ground his teeth and left her. The next morning early he staggered into her presence with bloodshot eyes. There was a bag on hie shoulder. " 'You asked for heads/ h e said. •Look!' "And he emptied from the bag onto the floor the heads of her father and her two brothers!" The missionary smiled Badly. "That wasn't playing the game," he said. "It's the heads of enemies that the head hunter must bring in, not the heads of one's own brother tribesmen. They shut the young convert in a slatted cage of bamboo to starve to death. He died under his sweet*1 heart's eye." Dries Grain Cut Quickly and Permits It to Remain So All the Y«ar Around. # « ^ H ^ i H » * < » t ^ t H i * » « » J i < > « « t H < * » J. Gk 8TSIN.)

Primogeniture. The law of primogeniture sends back Its roots to the most ancient times. Away back in the patriarchal ages the first-born son had a superiority over all his brethren, and in the absence of his father was in every Important sense the head pt the house. Upon the death of the father he became, by the unwritten law, which could not be questioned, the priest and lord of the family, and naturally to him fell th* property as well as the honors of the household. Primogeniture, wherever it is found today, i i the lingering remnant of the ancient custom—a custom which common tense tnd justice pronounce to be as unfair as it is superstitious.

All plants which have the ability to add nitrogen to the soil, like alfalfa, are called legumes. The farmer can improve his property cheaper than a person in almost any other business. Drainage lessens evaporation simply by removing the surplus snow and rain water by filtration. Put some manure around the gooseberry, .currant and raspberry bushes, if you didn't do it last month. It is the consensus of oprhlon that a small farm well worked is more profitable than a large one poorly worked. Grass roots must have protection from the winter frosts if good meadows are secured and maintained from year to year. A two-foot piece of old steel rail from the railway track Is a very convenient thing on the farm. It may be used as a, cheap anvil. Manure increases the capacity of a soil to hold water.

"Worthless reading makes worthless people." Put that In big letters and hang it up in your sitting-room, where you can see it every day, and where tire young people can see it. Maybe it will call their attention to the books they are reading, which are uplifting or degrading, Bays the Ohio State Journal They are one or the other. Parents don't seem to realize this. Nice out of ten of them do not seem to understand the significance of a book. An education amounts to nothing if a boy or girl turns it into shallow reading. Their minds are filled with trash anj their thinking 1B weak, when they read the kind of books that are mostly read these days. It lg a sad mistake to allow this matter to go at random, and to allow the youth's taste for reading to grow rank and wild. The highest triumph of an education is the desire and habit to read good books. It makes no difference how well a boy gets along in his nqattiematics or language, if he has no taste for good reading it is all waste. Parents will take great interest in tho marks their child gets at school, but they are hopelessly careless as to what those marks mean for him In his after life. It is time they were giving attention to this subject. 1,635 PERSONS WENT DOWN NUMBER OF DEAD REACHES 1,635—MANY WOMEN DIED IN EMBRACE OF THEIR HUSBANDS, REFUSING TO LEAVE THEM.

For at least four hundred years Journalism has been a profession without academic recognition, in that a course of study was required to enter its portals. The late Joseph Pulitzer felt that it should be raised to the proper rank, and he founded and endowed a college, says the Philadelphia Inquirer. To the headship of this new institution is called Dr. Talcott Williams of this city, one of the deans of American journalism, and one whose experience, travel, accomplishments and scholarship make the selection wholly admirable. Journalism is not wholly taught. It receives more recruits than almost any other profes- HtonT-and—most -of the postttlants-faHby the wayside. It is a trying-out process which resultB in successes in many directions other than newspaper work. To fit into the peculiar niche which makes Journalism so important is given to few, but it is certain that no young man ever entered Journalism and left it without carrying away valuable lessons.

Seven hundred and forty-five persons, mostly women, sick in heart and body, wrote into the annals of maritime1 history the loss of the finest steamship ever built by man, They were the survivors of the White Star liner Titanic, which sank, how foremost, with i ,635 souls aboard, her captain at the bridge, her colors Hying and her hand playing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," in 2,000 fathoms of water off the banks of Newfoundland, under starlit skies, at 2:20 a. m. Monday as the survivors pulled away in lifeboats, With one voice they told of the splendid heroism of those who re« mained behind to find a wateTy grave that, thev might live. Capt. Smith died, they said, as a gallant sailor should, after having first placed all the women who would go aboard the lifeboats. There were many who stayed behind to die in their husbands' arms. From their narratives stand out in bold relief the following facts: The Titanic was making 21 knots an hour when she struck the-- iceberg. No one at first thought she would fiink. She remained afloat more than two hours. The iceberg ripped open her bowels below the water line. In»tant panic was averted by Capt. Smith's terse appeal to his crew: "Be British, my men!" A small number of steerage passengers tried to rush for the lifeboats and were held back by the crew and other passengers. The Titanic turned her nose for the bottom when the last lifeboat was less than a hundred yards away, reared her stern high in the air and trembled for a moment before seeking the bottom. There were two explosions whe-n the inrushing waterB reached her boilers. When she sank there was silence; a moment later the cries and supplications of the 1,500 dying'men arose In chorus indescribable over the spot where she went down. For hours the survivors rowed in lifeboats over a calm sea in bitter cold until the Carpathia picked them up, In the aftermath of the disaster the principal developments were the testimony of J. Bruce Iamay, managing director of the White Star line, before the senate investigating committee, and the removal of surviving members of the Titanic's crew aboard the U p - land. The Titanic struck an iceberg about 00 feet high, which ripped the liner's sides open and made the watertight compartments useless and while, the vessel was gradually sinking, the icy water reached her steaming boilers, causing an explosion which sent her to the bottom. Among the hundreds on her decks to ihe last were Col. John .TBcob Astor and Major Archibald Butt, President Taft'8 military aide, Benjamin Guggenheim, Jacques Futrelle, George D. Wldener, Henry B. Harris and scores of aa well-known persons, lsldor Straus was among them also wit^t Mrs-. Straus, who refused to leave her husband behind when she had the opportunity to save her life. THE LAST SCENE. Aa the acrenma of t h e s t r u g - g l i n g hundred* of the Titanic's p a s s e n g e r s w h o hnd Jumped Into the w a t e r multiplied, another aound irna heard, strong; and clear at first, then fainter in the dlatance. It wu* the m e l o d y of the hymn, " X e a r e r , My ttod, to Thee," played by t h e s t r i n g o r . che*trn in t h e dining; aaloon of d y i n g ahlp. Some of thoae on the w a t e r started to Ming t h e word*, but g r e w allent aa t h e y realised that for the men who ployed the music n a n n sacrament noon to be c o n s u m m a t e d by death. The siren s t r a i n s of the h y m n und the frantic cries of t h e dying; blended in n aymphony of aorr o w — a never equalled requiem. ) THE WRECK OF THE TITANIC Sunday had been a pleasant day on the big ship. In the morning one of the clergymen aboard held divine service. In the afternoon the decks TOre gay with person* taking the sunlight and adr. In the evening a concert given in the "ballroom enlisted the aid of the talented passengers. The smoking room was filled with professional and business men, some playing cards, others reading, still others discussing the record run of that day. Charles M. Hays and Col. Grace were deploring the competition in speed and size that runs like a mania among the steamship companies. In the cafe, ('apt. Smith and J. Bruce Ismay sat dining at a table aaking plans for speeding the ship up on Tuesday, when for the first time she should be run at her topmost speed. This had been the plan of every day since the ship left Southampton—63 revolutions a minute Wednesday; 70- revolutions Thursday; 72 revolutions Friday; 75 revolutions Saturday; 77 revolutions Sunday. The owners now say that the ship was not going full speed, and technically they tell the truth, for the Titanic, had never gone full speed, which was 80 revolutions, but was gradually working up towards that when on Sunday night she entered the berg-infested seas. Rescued passengers Bay that at 11 o'clock the captain and J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director of the owning company, still sat dining in the cafe, although Ismay contends he was asleep in his berth at 11:40 when the ship struck. The night was clear, cold and starry. The sea was smoothed out—"I hadn't seen such a smooth sea in years," says a rescued member of the crew. The lookouts in their crowsnest far us above the decks had received sharp orders to look out for icebergs. The Titanic plowed on under her 77 revolutions a minute and the gayety below was just beginning to lose its zest in weariness when a jangle of bells in the pilot house sounded "danger immediately ahead." The officer's hand Was on the button which would stop the engines, when a dull, scraping"! crunching sound—half roar, half groan— ran along the ship's side. In a moment the captain was above issuing his orders. The first was to the ship's carpenter to go below and sound the ship. He never returned. An officer was sent below, but had not gone far before he came running back with a message that only the captain heard. The more than 2,000 passengers were lulled in the delusion that come what may the Titanic might lie helpless in the seas but never could sink, and those who came on deck thought it only a wise precaution the captain was taking when he ordered all on board to don life belts. By this time officers and stewards had quickly gone to their rooms and slipped loaded revolvers into their pockets.. On the top deck the wireless operator was sending out the most ominous call ever heard at sea. And then the great steam sirens began to screech through the night. From a high point another officer was streaking the dark with rockets, The captain standing on his bridge ordered the boat crews to stand by ready to cast off. And now the sense of imminent danger possessed some of the passengers, and the terrified steerage passengers were filling stairways and ladders in their attempt to gain the decks. In the meantime the great "IF" of disaster was sporting on the ocean. The Parisian, the one steamship in those waters that could have saved all souls on board, was deaf to the calls of the stricken ship—her wireless operator was asleep in bed! Farther away was the Carpathian-and she, too, wouULhave been deaf had not her wireless man been accidentally detained at ^his machine. But for one "IF" 1.C05 persons might now be alive, and but For another "IF" the Titanic, from managing director to cabin boy'and the entire passenger list, might have gone to the bottom or died frozen in lifeboats. . "Send out succor"—"S. O. S."—"send out succor," called the stricken ship, and half a dozen vessels turned their noses in the direction of the disaster. On the deck of the Titanic, surprise had given way to consternation, and consternation to bedlam, as the lowering of the lifeboats began. Women were thrown into the boats and their children Hung after them. Four brawny immigrants fought thein way by main force into a boat, and an officer stepped in after them, shot them dead one after the other, and tumbled their bodies into the sea. One man in the darkness hid himself under a lifeboat seat, and so" was saved. Another in his nightgown was mistaken _for_a woman_and__uushed into a boat, _wh erehejfell in a_huddled heap gibbering out his thanks to God. Wives begged that their husbands be allowed to accompany them, and sailors drove the men back. "There's boats on the other side," called an" officer to get the crush of men away, and when the men rushed to the other side they found there were no boats* Returning a double guard of seamen kept them back from the rail. The captain and an officer stood on the bridge surveying the scene and giving orders. The wheelhouee was empty, the wheelsman having gone to help man a boat. Early in the panic the owner of the ship cante with a bodyguard of seamen and was placed with the women in a lifeboat, while a thausapd doomed men looked down at him. Deny as he does, .1, Bruce Ismay-cjrihot annul the testimony of (hose women's eyes. • Back in that crowd were men \of might,—William T. Stead, Rev.

First Officer Murdock on Bridge When Steamer Struck. The great liner Titanic was plunging Sunday night through a comparatively placid Bea on the surface of which there was much mushy Ice and here and there a number of compartlively harmless looking floes. The night was clear and stars visible^ First Officer Murdock was in, charge of.the bridge. The first intimation of the presence of the Iceberg that he received was from the lookout in the crow's-nest. They were so close on the -berg at this moment that it was practically impossible to avoid a collision with it. Speed of Boat Too Great. The first officer did what other startled and alert commanders had done under similar circumstances, that is, he made an effort by going full speed ahead on hie Btarboard prdpeller. simultaneously throwing We helm over, to make a rapid turn and clear the beTg. The maneuver was not successful. IJe succeeded in saving his bows from crashing into the iceberg, but nearly the entire length of the underbody of the great ship on the starboard side was ripped. The speed of the Titanic, estimated to be at least 21 knots, was so terrific that the knlfe-llke edge of the iceberg's spur protruding under the sea cut through her like a can-opener. The shock was almost imperceptible. The first officer did not realize thai the great ship had received Its death wound, and none of the passengers, it is believed, had the slightest suspicion that anything more than a usual minor sea accident had hap* pened. Hundreds who had gone to their berths and were asleep were unawakened by the virbratlon. Within a few minutes stewards and other members of the crew were sent round to arouse the people. .Some utterly refused to get up. The stewards had almost to force the doors of the Btateroom» to make the somnolent appreciate their peril. >usled himself getting other women away. Futrelle forced his wife to leave him. Poor Mrs. Straus looked at life with separation from her husband and at death 'united with him, and chose the latter-- -life could not be long for them at the very best. Put these are noted names—who can tell of the heroism of men who were net known beyond their own circle? Terrific inefficiency was everywhere. Some of the boats put off with only haff their capacity. One boat was oared by the women, the only seamen aboard drunk and Incapable. The Titanic was listing to-starboard and settling by the bow. Seamen in the little boats knew that sign, and pulled away with all their might to escape the awful suction expecte/1 to accompany the plunge below. The owner of the Titanic looked back once, and after that he did not look back. The women in the boats were hysterical, and to drown from their ears the shrieks from the decks the sailors sang that old hymn of the sea: Pi! 11 for the shore, sailor; Pull for the shore; Heed not the a n g r y w a v e Hut bend to the our; Safe within the life-boat, sailor, Safe for evermore, Leave the poor old battered w r e c k And null for the shore." The forward lights of the Titanic sunk lowor and lower. Her band waa heard playing, "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and faint voices carrying the hymn floated across the water, Sometimes the small boats grazed a floating block of ice, and sometimes they pushed a body away. Miles down on the horizon the Carpathia was racing on her errand of mercy.. The Titanic's bow was awash, and the captain went over, but finding a baby in the water swam with it to a lifeboat and handed it in. Those who took it saw that.lt was dead. The captain went back to his ship, where a cook tried to drag him to a small boat, but he wrenched himself loose with an angry, "Let me go." Men Whose reason-was gone, shrieked deliriously on the decks. Others nervously smoked and assured each other that the Titanic could not sink before help came. Now and again a man slipped into a darkened corner, and a sharp"pistol shot told the story of the death he preferred. "They say drowning isn't so bad," said a young fellow who had kissed his wife good- Jjye 10 minutes before. And there were prayers—God, what prayers! Men whose lips had not formed a petition in years called upon the God of their childhood's teaching., Prayers for safety, prayers that the offerer might ntay jttjs -mfian,. prayers making confession and seeking peace before the awful siieflce should snut in —yes, every rescued passenger testifies to the storm of prayer that went up from, the doomed Titanic's decks, v f The great ship settled and stood with her nose in the deep and her stern in tjie air. There was a rumble like unto thunder as lier machinery, torn from its bases, tumbled toward the bow. The Titanic was giving up the ghost. A black masB of men were seen rushing toward the stern. Their cries and shrieks were heard by the farthest boat, half a mile away. Blaqk forms dropped Into the water. More revolver shots were heard. And then with a hiBS that was half a sigh the Titanic sank to the deepest grave off the Grand Banlfs. The sea was filled with struggling men. William T. Stead, the greatest editor in Europe, and John Jacob Astor, one of the richest men in America, clung to a floating piece of cork, but the chill of the icy sea sought their limbs and then their hearts and they sank back into the water. A raft floated by with 30 men aboard, and they were saying the Lord's prayer in unison. Col. Gracie of the United States army was one of them. Here and there a hardy sailor, inured to the, wet and the cold, kept himself afloat on a bit of wreckage. Men called for help where there was no help, and the last despairing cries of hopeless victims sounded over the water for an hour after the Titanic -was no more- Bearing nearer and nearer, her; captain straining his eyes for sign of the ship, came the Carpathia, and with her came the dawn. A few boats rocking on the sea and a great mass of floating debris were all the captain saw. He stood on his bridge and wept. There were dead bodies in some of the boats, and other dead bodies were clearly seen floating about. But the living were taken aboard and all that tender sympathy could do was done—but there is not enough on earth to heal the wound the sea had made. Rachels mourned for their children and would not be comforted, for they were not. Brides mourned for their bridegrooms, children for their parents, and wives of many years for the husbands of their early struggles. Such a mass of misery silences the tongue and stuns the imagination. The religious solemnity ever Induced by the presence of death was laid on».that whole shipload. The captain of the Carpathia turned the nose of his ship toward the iceberg that had sent the Titanic to the bottom, and there the people stood with bared heads and streaming ftfees while thanksgiving was offered for the saved, and a solemn burial service retd'for the dead. With that the Carpathia took up h«r meteocbvly way to port; and*' J. Bruce Ismay, the owner of the Titanic, stayed In his cabin planning how to get back to England unobserved tober. $2.28.

The profitableness of the poultry •will l>e governed largely by the comfort and convenience of the house they occupy. The following plan has proven very successful after a thorough trial, says the Homestead. The house is twenty-four fet long, fourteen feet wide and five feet high at the rear and eight feet in front. The foundation is six inches wide and extends six inches above the surface of the f •A Profitable Hen House. ground. It is made of coarse gravel and cement mixed to the proportion of one part cement and six parts gravel. The sills are 2x4 material bolted to the foundation by bolts set into the cement while it was soft. The bolts projected just £ar enough above the cement so the taps could be screwed down tightly on the sills. The studding is also of 2x4 material. The rafters are two by six lumber. By using this dimension they can be' T?ut farther apart than by using 2x4s. The entire building was boarded solidly with twelve-inch boards with the exception- oi -the fronts-Only-three.JJeetof that was boarded from foundation. A place for door was made three feet and a half wide to permit a wheelbarrow to enter conveniently. After the building was boarded it was covered with a good grade of roofing material. The open space in front was covered with rabbit wife to prevent the chickens from flying out and to keep birds from entering to eat up the chicken feed. The boards for droppings were put three' feet above the ground and the roosts eight inches above the boards. Along the west side were placed the dark nests, two rows of them, one above the other. A drop curtain, of burlap was hung to the front I of the house. This is made to roll up by aid of ropes and pulleys. The points in favor of this house are lots of sunlight, plenty of fresh air, and a good scratching place for a hundred bens.

By ranging them along the side of your feedroom you will have them out of the way and at the same time easy of access. Covers may be made, or can be purchased for about 10 cents each. By labeling; each you will have as fine a feedroom as anyone. These barrels are easy to handle, and can be cleaned out by simply rolling the the one that you want to get away from the rest.

The coop should b* about 14x14 inches aad tho shouM * o at least 10x14 l n c a m f No Other Fowl 8o Interesting or So Helpless as Young Poult—Feeding of Much Importance. W There is no fowl BO interesting or so unable^ to care for itself as the young turkey the first ten days or two weeks of its life. The young turkeys must be kept very warm and dry, but not where the fresh air and sunshine will be excluded, writes Mrs. J. J. England in the Prairie Farmer. Keep them in a roomy pen for ten days at' least, with a floored box or coop for a roost* ing place. It Is better to have a generous supply of straw in the coop as they will keep warmer through cool nights and damp days. I find the turkey hen cares better for the young turkey than a foster mother or chicken hen. She is more thoughtful and watchful and can care for them so much longer than, the chicken hen. The secret in turkey raising is keeping them warm and dry and feeding them generously for the first two weeks. For the first few feeds give them hard boiled eggs with a little, black pepper, with fresh water in very shallow pans. After the first few feeds make corn meal loaf by mixing with sour milk, soda, and a large tablespoon of ginger to three pints of milk, add three eggs. Mix in thin dough and bake well. Feed this with curds or "cottago cheese" well peppered for two weeks, then small grain may be fed. Keep the shells of the boiled eggs crumbled fine In the open so they will have free access to them. Charcoal is very good to mix with the shells. Ginger acts as a stimulant to the young turkey and prevents them from becoming weak. If the turkeys get thoroughly chilled they will be subject to chill cholera or disentary. A few drops of boiled sweet milk with a small pinch of ginger if given every half hour will' save the turkeys after they have become too weak U> care for food. Remember they should be fed every two A Profitable Type. hours the first week. They est a very small amount at a time and are off for a ramble around the pen. They must be well fed the first two weeks three times a day, then as they grow older, morning and evening will be sufficient. ** SENATOR -RAYNER SAYS W O R L D CALLS FOR PROSECUTION Of* HIM AND HIS COMPANY. • RELIES ON B R I T I S H JUSTICE TO DEAL W I T H G U I L T Y OFFICIALS. 8ays He Does Not Believe Ismay Left Titanic on L?st Life Boat and Says He Is Coward If He Did. SAVING TOILET TABLES An indictment rare'ly equalled in its vigor of J. Bruce lamav, managing director, and other officials of the White Star line, holding them responsible for the Titanic disaster, was delivered in the senate by Senator Rayner, of Maryland, who pictured Ismay as "the officer, primarily res'-jnsible for the whole disaster, who lias reached his destination in safety and uuharmed." Senator Rayner pointed out that while there were: no civil nor criminal remedies available in the American courts, criminal and civil suits could be brought in the British courts and that a congressional committee would have absolute authority to nubpena every one connected with the disas* ter and that if any one should refuse to answer questions he could be indicted and imprisoned for contempt. Doesn't Believe Ismay. "Mr, Ismay claims, according to reports, that ho took the last life1 boat," criecf Senator Rayner. "I do not believe it, and if he did, it was cowardly to take any life boat, for the managing director of the line, with his board, is criminally responsible for this appalling; tragedy. ''If this had happened on an American vessel, there would be no question that an indictment would be found and if the facts were sustained, the officers of the company could be convicted of manslaughter, if not of murder, because the evidence is clear that the vessel was not properly equipped with efficient life-saving apparatus. "I have not the slightest doubt that the northern route was taken in obedience to Mr. Ismav's^-d-tfect orders and that with fu^VJwa'fning he risked the life of his entire ship to make a speedy passage. ....- ftFix the Responsibility." "I care not what the rules of the English admiralty are. Here you have the spectacle of the head of the line failing to see that his ship was properly equipped with live-saving apparatus, heedless of the warnings that he was sailing in a dangerous sea, forsaking his vessel and permitting i,50t» of her passengers and crew to be swallowed by the sea. The martyrdom and the agonies of separating that took place on board the sinking shij) are too fearful for the mind to contemplate, but Ismay, the officer KEEP THE CHICKS GROWING Absolutely Necasaary That Little Fellows Potaew Constitutional Vigor for Success. It Is absolutely necessary for the greatest success that the chicks should be bom with a store of constitutional vigor that will push them to the front and keep them growing from the minute they start Into life in the shell until they have reached mature age. Given a lot of chicks that are born well and they will take life cheerfully and grow Into perfect maturity. The beet way to breed a lot of culls is to use eggs from hens w>th depleted vitality and then neglect the chicks after they are hatched. A steam heated hen house is a joke. Never tend a fowl to market that baa a full crop. Ventilation; is more important than heat in the poultry house. Bee that your incubators and brooders are in good, condition now. If you notice symptoms of cold among your fowls, put coai-oll in the drinking water. If you buy eggs that are shipped by express do not set until they have rested 24 hours. Don't forget to place a newspaper in the bottom of incubator, it win save a lot of labor. It is doing things at the right time and never neglecting the flock for a single day that brings success. Never buy an incubator of less than 100 egg capacity. 200 is better and costs but a trifle more to ran it. In the breeding pen above ail there should be provision made for exercise if vigorous healthy chicks are wanted. Weed seed from the cleaning machines of local seed stores have some value as a chicken feed, says a poultry raiser. It is not altogether what a hen eats that makes eggs, and flesh, but rather what she Is able to digest and assimilate. Why not a flock of duets this year? They are easily raised and will make more weight with the same amount of feed than «fclckes*, The market i* good tor * * primarily—responsible for the whult; disaster, has reached his destination in safety. "No legislation can bring bafk to earth a single life lost upon thaf fatal night. What we can do, is to help to fix the responsibility, if possible, and rely upon British justice to bring to bay the guilty directorate of this company. All W o r l d Will Applaud. "All civilized nations will applaud the criminal prosecution of the management of this line. If they can be made to suffer, no sympathy will go for them, and if it does, it will be submerged in the overwhelming lamentation that tdday re-echoes throughout the world, for the victims of their culpable carelessness,, a recklessness that sent hundreds of their fellow-beings into eternity, desolating homes and firesides, and turned this land into a house of mourning. "In this hour of our calamity we appeal to the majesty of the law to deal out retributory justice- to this guilty company to the last degree." Two more bills framed on the lesson drawn from the Titanic dl/aster were introduced in the house. One of them, by Ren. O'ShaugneBsy, of Rhode Island, would compel all ocean-going steamships to or from the United States to carry constant and adequate wireless. Representative Parran, of Maryland, offered a measure to appropriate $100,000 for naval target practice in destroying icebergs, by the guns of the warships and by dropping explosives from airships. Sea Will Claim AH Victims. "The bodies of the victims of the Titanic are at the bottom of the deep, never to leave it," declared Prof. Robert W. Wood, of the chair of experimental physics of Johns Hopkins university. "It Is altogether improbable that anv of the corpses will ever return to the surface, as is the case with bodies drowned In shallow water. At the depth of two miles the pressure of the water is something like 6,000 pounds to the square inch, which is far too great to be overcome by buoyancy ordinarily given drowned bodies by the gases generated in time. That the bodies sank to the bottom of the sea there is no question," he continued. "The Titanic'a victims who were not carried down with the boat followed until the very bottom of the sea was reached." Saginaw's budget for 1912 amounts to $684,070, 196,000 more than last year. "Joy • riding" is growing so common in Kalamazoo that the prosecuting attorney has found it necessary to issue a warning to thoae who take to that kind of sport, l^ast week four machines were stolen.

NEED FOR M A T E R I A L UNDER T H E EMBROIDERED COVER. Idea Is to Prevent Disaster When Liquids Are Spilled—Rubber Sheeting, While Expensive at First, Really Economical. As a rule, it is not the mere spilling of a liquid ou one's pretty embroidered bureau, dressing table or washstand covers that spoils thein, but the instant effect of that moisture on the varnished, surface beneath. 4 In fully nine caBes out of ten—on the dressing table, at least—the cause of disaster is toilet water, tincture of benzoin, spirits of camphor, or some similar article with the alcohol base, that at once dissolves the varnish it touches and makes a nasty mark on the linen above. Where the old-fashioned washstand, with its bowl and pitcher and soap dish, is used instead of a stationary one with running water, the splashes, while less disastrous, have to be taken at once into account, as even water standing iuoce than a few minutes will make sad blemishes on polished wood. Many housekeepers put folded paper under the embroidered covers, but this was never more than a makeshift. Even sheets of blotting paper, recently recommended, can only part. ly arrest the possible damage where alcohol has been spilled, as that fluid will penetrate with rapidity and even a few drops are able to eat into the varnish. A far better protection is given by eome of the waterproof fabrics how to be had. Rubber sheeting, covered with fabric on either side, while expensive in comparison with blotting paper, is true economy in the end, as it is odorless and Impervious to all moisture. Next to this, in point of desirability, would be a sheet of oiled silk—but this would need an undercover of plain muslin, to keep it from sticking to the wood in,ease anything warm happened to be set on the bureau or stand. Still less expensive would be ordinary white table oilcloth, but if this be chosen, it is wisdom not to use it while perfectly new, as ltTTas rather a pungent odor until after it has been exposed to the air for some time after leaving the store. This, too, would require a cover of muslin or white paper on Its waterproof side, but, like the other two materials mentioned, it affords perfect security and is well worthy the attention of any one to whom the welfare of fine linen covers is a matter of Interest. +m WOLVERINE NEWS BREVITIES , Eaton Rapids. -— The executive committee of the State Holiness Camp Meeting association has arranged to havti the work on the extensive imprqvements to the camp grounds started next week.

Certain prominent motor manufactures of Detroit have appealed to the supreme court to knock out the so-called motor car speed ordinance on the grounds that it conflicts with the act passed by the legislature in 1909 for the "regulation of motor vehicles," which is still in force. I t is contended that this law specifically precludes all local authorities from regulating the speed of motors or making any other regulations conflicting with the law. The state law fixes the maximum speed on the streets of a city at 15 mjles per hour, and the penalty at $25 or 10 days for the first offence, ¢50 or 20 days for the second offence, and $100 or 30 days for the third offence. The traffic ordinance enacted by the city of Detroit fixes the speed minimum at 12 miles per hour in the down town district, and the penalty at anywhere from $1 to $300 and 30 days or both or either. The fundamental distinction however is, they claim, that the law gives the police court jurisdiction only and not the recorder's court where most of these motor car cases have been tried. There is one exception to the law. This provides that local authorities may make cemeteries. Fine Clip Of f u L - O. C. Burkhardt on MonJay brought to Chelsea from his farm in Lima the finest clip of wool that was ever placed on the Chelsea market, is the statement made by local buyers, The clip is f rom 60 full blood Black Top ewes, from one to five yeare old, and each fleece is as white as is possible unless they are put through a bleaching process. The length of the staple is from H to 5 in. ches and the average weight of each fleece is 10^ pounds. Every fleece is perfect and itie worth the time of any wool grower to go and see the clip. The load was viewed by from 40 to 50 persons before it was taken to the ware house. —Chelsea Standard. A Good SDOW The motion picture entertainment given at the opera bouse last Friday by the Chelsea Amusement Co. was thoroughly., enjoyed by those who attended it and the reels shown are claimed to be the clearest and best ever shown in Pinckney. On account of there being two entertainments last week previous to it there was not a very large crowd present, but nevertheless Messrs Geddes and McLaren announce that they will be here again next Friday with an entire chang6 of films consisting of six reels of motion pictures and illustrated songs making a show lasting two hours.

Billings gulped agalfir—"I suppose n o t ; don't blame you. Way you're iflxed, you don't have to." He walked Islowly to the window and back. "Take my advice, Dicky, and get those Are <oals Into your safe deposit vault first thing In the morning. H«llo, you're counting them off! That's wise." For with the knife he had left on the table I was cutting away the tough threads that held the rubles. I c"ut"off -ttar-weronct and tottrth,- 4eaving the first ruby at the collar and the other two alternates. "Go on," said Billings, as 1 laid down the knife. "You've only removed two." "Don't believe I'll cut off any more," i said. "Want yon to help me tie up 1 lie others Just as they were." "What!" 1 insisted. And though Hillings protested and argued and even called me ijamjea, we did as I said. For, by Jove, you know it was perfectly clear that if they had, been safe KO long under the little covers, the jewels couldn't find any better place, singular thing Hillings couldn't sou It. kind the crowned heads scoop for jewels of state." 1 nodded, and, getting up carelessly, I strolled to a window. "Devilish lovely night," I said, poking my head out. And it was. Stars overhead and all that sort of thing, and lots of them below, too—I could hear them singing over on Broadway. "All right, old chap; then here they go Into the street," I said. "If my friend can't have 'em, then no Jolly crowned heads shall. That's flat!"' Billings started forward with a regular scream. I waved him back. "Don't come any nearer, old chap," I said, holding my arm out of the window, "or, dash me, I'll drop them Instantly. Six stories, you know—stone flagging below." "Hut. Dicky—" "If you don't say you'll take 'era, time I count three, I'll give 'em a toss, by Jove! One!" "Here, Dicky! Don't be a—" "Two!" I counted. No bluff, you know; I meant jolly well to do it. "Just one word—one second, Dicky!" he yelled. "Let me oft with one, then. Dicky! Dicky, old chap! Be a good sportsman!" I hesitated.^ Dash It, one hates to take an advantage. Hillings stretched out his arm appealingly. "Do, old chap!" he pleaded. "Give me just one—one only!" His hand shook like a quivering what's-Its-name leaf. I yielded reluctantly. "Oh, well, then, call It off with one," I said. And with a sigh I tossed him one of the rubles and dropped the other in the pocket of my smoking-jacket. Billings wiped his forehead, and then he thanked me and wiped his eyes. - "So- go^d—of- you to give inr old chap," he snuffled. "Never will forget you for 11!" "Oh, I say, chuck it, you know!" I protested. "Whole family will thank you," he went on in his handkerchief. "Princely magnanimity and all that sort of thing—you'll just have to come up for the week end with me this—" blondes, every time; especially those going around in black." Billings spoke gloomily. "Let me tell you, my boy— and I know—don't you ever have anything to do with a blonde if she's In black, especially black silk—hear?" By Jove, his uplifted linger and fierce way of saying It gave me a regular turn, you know. But then there was the/ ruby, and I was thinking that— "Perhaps the four of them in a bracelet," I muttered, "with something else to help out. They might do." "They might," said Billings in a tone of coarse sarcasm. 'They might do for a queen!" I flashed a quick look at him. "Just what I was thinking," I answered gently. "Meantime," said Hillings, yawning, "let's go to bed." And just as I rang for Jenkins 1 suddenly was seized with a perfectly ripping idea that checked a long yawn right in the middle and almost broke my jaw. For I saw how I could do something handsome that would even up with Hillings in a way for the ruby he wouldn't take. 'Tell you what, old chap," I said, slapping him on the shoulder, "you are going to have them tonight!" "Have—have what?" burst from "him. "Rubles? I tell you I won't take another—" "Rubies!" I ejaculated contemptuously. "Rubies nothing! Something better—something worth while, dash it!" I saw ho would never guess it. "Why, you shall sleep in the pajamas from China," I exclaimed. And gathering them, I placed them in his hands. "Hy George, Dicky!" Hillings' face showed teeiiug. "How iiifernal ly clever of you, old chap! How thundering timely, too!" He held them up singly, studying their outlines critically. "And see here, Dicky—why, great Thomas' cats!" His eyes turned on me wonderingly. "Never noticed it before— did you? Hut I do'believe they are just my size!" \ i- JVO "HesidM, the pajamas had to have fastenhaajt; you know. I held one of the two rubios under the light, and, by Jove, I almost drop- .;po5 It—did drop my glass. Seeing a rftd-hot poker-polnt in your ringers • would give you the same turn. T "JRippers, Billings! Simply rippers!" T exclaimed. f held the other ruby beside its fellow, Then I waited, listening, and I heard Hillings' hand strike down on the back of a chair. "I guess I'll be going, old chap," he said gruffly. "Think I'd better, after all." He cleared his throat. "Sure you can't sell me one, Dicky?" Dashed At his voice didn't tremble. "Quite sure, dear boy," I murmured, "without turning around. "Not mine, you know—these two." Billings exploded then. It seemed tun opportunity to relieve himself. •"Not yours! Why, you dodgasted idiot, you nincompoop, you cuckoo, you chicken head! What notion have you « o t In that fool's noddle now? If those rubles are not yours, whose do you .think they are?" E whirled about quickly. "Yours," 1 eale.and laid them in his hand. "Ife cenotpllmenta, old chap." I add- * < Celling. Bjritfove!

He fell into a chair and Just sat there mouthing at me and then at the Jewels in his band. OM boy looked •devilish silly. Really acted like he had some sort of stroke—that sort of fchJat. I bnghed at him. "tijm't yon ane?" I said, trying to explain. "Wouldn't have known a -dished thing about the buttons being rubies but for you. So lucky they -came Jp j&e so I oan get a chance to tielp out your collection. Awfully glad, old'idhap."

And Billings looked regularly overcome. AH he could do waa just shake his head and pump my arm. Why, dash it, this seemed to affect him more even than giving in about the ruby. It was the first time I had ever accepted his Invitation, you know. "Tell you what, old chap," he said, as soon as he could speak. "I'm going to tell you what to do with that other stone. You aave that for her." "Her!" By Jove, I was so startled I lost the grip on my monocle. Billings nodded emphatically. "Yes, sir—for her; she'll be along one of these days." "By Jove, you know!" I was almost dizzy with a sudden Idea. 1 fished out the jewel aad held it before my glass, *jaictlag doabtfully at it. I wondered *t it was good enough for "her>" ^ "I say, •„ BlUtngs," I murmured thoughtfully. "Blende* or brunettes, you know—which wear rubies?** "Both!" He said it with a kind of jaw, sa«t. "They wear anything in t h / j e w e l line they can freese on to." s "But which—M His size! By Jove, I had forgotten all about the item of size! I Just collapsed into a chair as he said good night, and sat there blinking in a regular stupefaction of horror as his door closed behind him. For he was devilish sensitive about his bulk, and I dared not say a word. CHAPTER X. A Nocturnal Intrusion, "Oh. but I say, it's impossible, you know!" And 1 stared at Jenkins incredulously. He grinned foolishly. "I know, sir; but he's in 'em, just the same, and 1 must say they do fit lovely—Just easylike." "By Jove!" I gasped helplessly. "Then the jolly things must be made of rubber, that's all! Why, look here, he weighs over three hundred pounds, you know!" i Jenkins' head wagged sagaciously. ( [ think that's'how it is, sir; it's wonderful what they do.with rubber now; my brother wears a rubber cloth bandage that ain't no bigger 'round than my arm when, it's off of him, and he—- m r n a n y utosaana i ( isui W B I C D - i "Dare say," I said sleepily as I ten ife**J*|'jsj04<«ohsfJy.

"Thank you, sir—and goodnight," he murmured. How long I slept I cannot tell, as they Bay in stories, you know; but 1 was brought jolly wide awake by a light that shone through the bedroom's open door. For if there's one thing will wake me quicker than everything else it's a light in the room at night. Fact is, I always want it as black as the what's-its-name cave, or else I can't sleep. And this light came from the small electric stand on the writing-desk. I could tell that by the way it shone. And just then the little silver gong in there chimed three. Jolly rum hour for anybody to be up unless they were having some fun or were sick. So I raised my head and called BOl'tly: "Jenkins—er—Billings!" No answer. Reluctantly I swung out and stepped within the next room. Not a soul there, by Jove! Then I moved over to Billings' door, which was wide open for coolnfiss, like my own. l could not see the shadowed alcove in which the bed was placed, and so I stood there hesitating, hating awfully to risk the pos-* sibllity of disturbing him, don't you know. And just then my eyes, ranging sleepily across the room toward the private hall, were startled by the apparition of an open doorway. Startled, all right! And yet, by Jove, I was iu such a jolly fog, I just stood there, nodding -and. hailing- at it for a full minute bei'ore I could take It in. "What I call devilish queer," I decided. I walked over and stuck my head out into the dark hall. "Hillings! Jenkins!" I whispered. Ily Jove, not a word! Everything as silent as the tomb! I didn't like it u bit—so mysterious, you know. Besides, dash it, the thing was getting me all waked up! I just know if once I got excited and thoroughly awake, it would take me nearly ten minutes to get to sleep again. And, by Jove, just then the excitement came, for I got hold of the fact :iftor \ had stared at it a while, that the door of my apartment opening Into the outer corridor was standing ajar. Why, dash it, it was not only standing, it was moving, Then suddenly the broad streak of light from the corridor widened under the impulse of a freshening breeze, and the door swung open witn, a bang. And then I heard my name spoken. Hy Jove, I had been standing there with my mouth open, bobbing my head like a silly dodo; but, give you my word, I was suddenly wide awake as a jolly owl wagon! Away down the corridor, by the mail chute, a man was standing, reading a framed placard. N^hlng particularly remarkable in this, but as the door banged he turned his head sharply and ejaculated: "Dammit! Now, that will wako Lightnut!" I was surprised, because I couldn't recall ever having seen him before; yet, standing as he did under the light, I had opportunity for a devilish good view. He was a heavy set old party, rather baldisb, with snowy mutton chops and a beefy complexion that was jolly well tanned below the hatband line, you know. The kind of old boy you size up as one of the prime feeder sort and fond of looking on the wine when It is Oporto red. Had something of the cut of the retired India colonels one sees abeut the Service clubs in London—straight as a lamp post still, but out of training and in devilish need of tapping—that., sort of duck, you know! What a respectable-looking old party might be up to, wandering around a bachelor apartment building at three In the morning, was none of my business. What's more, you know, I didn't care a jolly hang. But the thing that dashed me was that just as I moved toward the door to close it, he uttered my name again and came straight toward me as though to speak. So I had to wait, by Jove, for I couldn't close the door in his face. Awfulb* rotten thing to do—that, you knpw '•Vxist his floor and wants to inquire," I decided. And then as he toddled across the last yard and stopped before me, 1 saw that the old chap was in his night things—some darkish sort of pajamas. "By George!" he exclaimed with a leer that showed his almost toothless old gums. "Bet you never would guess what.I got « p for!" No, dash it, L didn't even care to try. I just coughed a little. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Getting Americanized. It does not take long for America's future citizens to adopt .American styles. He had just landed^at the Battery, and'was toiling ,ul> Broadway with his big canvas-covered tniiik upon his back. A bright orange tie set off bia crisp black locks, and a long, heavy ulster flapped at his heels. Hut, crowning glory of all—perched on hiB head, and toyed with by the biting winds that swept in from the sea, was a brand-new American atraw hat—a fitting crown for a citizen in a country where every man is a king.

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING "When my baby was six months old, his body was completely covered with large sores that seemed to Itch and burn, and cause terrible suffering. The eruption began in pimples which would open and run, making large sores. His hair came out and finger nails fell off, and the sores were over the entire body, causing little or no sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs would come off when I removed hla shirt. "We tried a great many remedies, but nothing would help him, till a friend induced me to try the Cuticura Soap and Ointment I used the Guticura Soap and Ointment but a short time before I could see that he was improving, and in six weeks' time he was entirely cured. He had suffered about six weeks before we tried the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although we had tried several other things, and doctors, too. I think the Cuticura Remedies will do all that is claimed for them,, and a great deal more." (Signed) Mrs. Noble Tubman, Dodson, Mont., Jan. 28, 1911.

A St. Louis dealer declared to a convention of egg and poultry men that "it Is the coldatorage men who insure cheap eggs instead of high-priced ones, as some legislators would have us -believe. Were it not for cold storage,, eggs would go to one dollar ^ dozen In winter, and in some places would be absolutely unobtainable, says the Omaha Bee. Of course, cold storage boosts the price occasionally In the summer; but if It did not, farmers in that season could not get more than two or three cents a dozen for their eggs." No doubt much of this 1B strikingly true. -. The cold-storage plant Is, indeed, a leveler of conditions, not only for eggs, but many other articles of produce, and, when properly conducted, with the purpose of serving natural needs and conditions, the cold storage becomes a moet valuable economic factor. The trouble is that it is not always so conducted. Its potential harm equals its potential good, and, unfortunately, eelflsh men have exploited this fact to their own advantage and the consumers', detriment It Is this mismanagement of the cold-storage system Itself against which remedial legislation is directed. ROUSED TO AGIN Government Is Stirred by the Titanic Disaster. SAFEGUARDS NOT ADEQUATE Conformity to American Regulations Probably Will Be Insisted on Hereafter— All Washington Mourns Death of Major Butt. A poor working man told his wife on awakening one morning of a curious dream he had during the night, relates the Marquette Tribune. He dreamed be saw coming toward blm, in order, four rats. The first one was very fat, and was followed by two very lean rats, the rear rat being blind. The dreamer was greatly perplexed as to what evil might follow; as it had been understood that to dream of rats denotes calamity. He appealed to his wife concerning this, but she could not^help him. His son, who beard the father tell the story, volunteered t o ' b e the Interpreter. "The fat rat," he said, "is the mail order firm which sells booze. The two lean rats are my mother and me, and the blind rat Is yourself."

Washington.—The disaster to the great Titanic has stirred the officials in Washington to action along a dozen different lines. It is expected that supervising Inspectors of steamships hereafter will pay less attention to regulations of safety laid down by foreign governments and will more rigidly enforce the American regulations. Moreover, while the Titanic struck an iceberg, it is probable that there will be still more careful search made of the seas to find derelict vessels which are a menace to navigation. As things stand now, the United States government allowB foreign vessels to come into the portB of this country provided their safeguards, such as lifeboats and other things, approach in numbers those demanded by the laws of this country. It is always taken for granted that the English government, for instance, has the welfare of its marine service at heart and that therefore Its regulations can be regarded by this country as safe. Government officials here believe that the English board of trade which regulates such matters thought that In the Titanic it had a boat which was unsinkable and that therefore it would be all right not to insist that there should be enough life boats to provide for all the passengers. Congress has been very much stirred uj) over the matter of lifeboats and other appliances by the disaster to the great steamship. The administration has felt a personal sense of loss because of the death of Major Archibald W. Butt, the White House aid, and this has added to its desire naturally that in the future lives should bo better safeguarded. The secretary of commerce and labor, Mr. N*agel. also has taken the—matter-ucwith his subordinates, and unquestionably representations will be made to the foreign officials who govern such matters that hereafter the regulations of the United States must be lived up to in every port. Many Derelicts Afloat. So far as the matter of derelicts is concerned, it Is known that nearly 400 of them are floating about the seas In various parts of the world, each one being a menace to navigation. floats are out all the time seking derelicts for the purpose of destroying them, but It seems that as fast as one is destroyed another takes its place, for vessels are always being deserted at sea by their crews when it seems that sinking is imminent. It is said that there never Is much of an increase in the number of derelicts, but It stays about the same year In and year out. The derelict is still as much of a menace to navigation as the Iceberg, and more of one because it is apt to get in the way of ships at every season of the year, while the icebergs are a danger ordinarily only for about six weeks. The ustial time of the icebergs' menace is In June, but this year they broke loose from their "moorings" much earlier than usual and appeared southeast of Cape Race utterly unexpectedly. Why Icebergs Appeared Early, It would seem that in these days of bighJy developed meteorological knowledge the presence of floating ice in the path of ocean steamships at an earlier date than usual ought to have been forecast The reason for their appearance early perhapB by some unthinking persons was taken In advance as a reason why they should appear late. ."The winter which has Just passed was an extraordinary severe one and it lasted a long time. The mere fact that there was a cold winter would make it appear that icebergs would stay fast until later in the season than usual, and so they did in the far north where they are usually formed. The trouble lay in the fact that the severity of the winter caused the bergs to form much further south than usual and so It was that when the first warm days of spring came the southern icebergs broke loose and floated out into the open long before those which had formed in the usual place were melted from their fastenings. Major Butt 8lnesrely Mourned. No one not a resident of the capital probably can appreciate the deep ense of sorrow felt here when .ew8 came that Maj. Archibald W. Butt, the president's personal aid, was among the passengers lost on the Titanic. President Taft had just seated himself in a box at the theater when the news came that his aid probably was amo&g those who went down with the ship. Ho Instantly left the theater, went to the White House and telegraphed steamship officials in New York for information asking that he be informed hourly day and night as long as there was the slightest hope for the major's safety. The employes of the White House were in a nervous condition which unfitted them for work during the days of uncertainty concerning "Archie's" fate. There was not a newspaper man in Washington who did not like and admire this major of the quartermaster's depart meat. Tho correspondents felt s personal affection for "Archie." as they all called Wm, ignoring his rank, for Butt waB one of the genial, sympathetic men who invite Uking, close comradeship and wholesome respect. At one time he was a newspaper correspondent iu the capital. This was prior to the days of the Spanish war. When war came he received a commission and went to the front and afterward was given a commissioned rank in the quartermaster's department. His birthplace was Georgia. There are hundreds of ctorieu told of Archibald W. Hutt during his stay in Washington. President Roosevelt chose him for a personal aid, and it was expected that when President Taft came In some other officer would succeed him, but Mr. Taft knew the captain and asked him to act in the same capacity during the present administration. Hntt was a part of Washington official and social life for years, and he bore every burden well and conducted himself with infinite tact and judgment. Did Trying Work Well. One of tho major's duties was to introduce at the great public and semipublic receptions and at the dinners and banquets given to and by the president the guests who filed by to shake tbevhand of the chief executive. It may seem that this would be no particularly arduous job, but it iB one of the most trying things which a president's aid has to do. As the Quests approach the president the one who 1» nearest whispers his name to the introducing officer. Names, as everybody knows, are the hardest things in the world to catch properly, and then there are men conceited enough to suppose that their faces ought to be known and that therefore only perfunctory mention of the name is necessary. Major Butt almost Invariably caught the muttered name correctly and transmitted it just as correctly to the president. There never was any trouble with the major's enunciation. The most peculiar foregn names were spoken fluently and clearly, and this thing in itself made Major Butt invaluable, because if the president had made a mistake himself in addressing a hanshaker the guest, as is always the case, would have felt hurt and humiliated. The kindness of Archibald Butt was shown In a thousand ways. There Is a great army and navy reception given at the White House every year. The persons eligible for invitation are ^S.cei^LjolJhje_aj^iiy^-Jia.vy-jin4-ma44fiecorps, both active and retired, and all the National Guard of the District of Columbia. The army and navy lists carry the names of all the officers who have a right to be Invited, but Archie Butt was not satisfied with these lists. He knew that living in Washington were men who had served their country in army and navy as officers, but who cither had resigned from the service or had been mustered out at the close of hostilities. He took it into his hands to look up as many of these officers as he could and to gratify them with the president's approval, of course, with invitations to the army and navy reception. Still Suspicious About Alaska. Congress lias before it a bill to grant home rule to Alaska. It seems to be entirely probable that it will pass the house. It makes provisions for an Alaska legislature, each member of which will be paid $20 a day. This seems tov be a good sum of money for the daily service of a legislator when the ordinary pay of like officials of the various states is considered, but things are high in Alaska and travel is expensive and moreover, if it is not wicked to suggest it, it may be that when a man is well paid he ia above yielding to besetting temptations. Alaska has not had much done for it at this session of congress, notwithstanding the tact that there has been so much suggested in the way of legislation. Just what is to be done in the matter of subsidizing a government railroad In Alaska does not ye*t appear. There are still ail kinds ot conflicting interests at work in the matter of the northwestern territory. Suspicion la still rite and If one makes a move another man says that he is headed straight to the- road of graft and the man accused retorts in kind. Alaska is stil; "the Land t)f Suspicion." Wants Three Cent Piece Coined. Representative H. J. Bulkiey of Ohio, a member of the house committee on banking and currency, has introduced a bill to authorize the coinage of a three cent piece. .Men whose memories cast a shadow twenty years long remember the old three cent piece made out of nickel. It resembled the silver dime so much that ignorant persons constantly were cheated out of seven cents when it was given to them in change by unscrupulous persons. It was the fact that the three cent piece was so much like the sliver dime in general appearance that led to the discontinuance of its coinage. Mr. Bulkiey intendB that nobody shall be deceived by the three cent piece if his bill authorizing its coinage becomes a law. He has inserted in his measure a provision that the coin shall be perforated in the center, the operation making it look like a Chinese piece and obviating any pos. sibility that it can be taken for a silver dime. If the three cent piece is to be coined it will be made of 75 per cent copper and 25 per cent nickel. Uenton Harbor.—Bessie Mills died here as the result of taking carbolic acid with suicidal intent. Bernard Lavelle, her lover, occupies* a cell in the city jail, awaiting the investigation which the coroner and police have begun. The girl, who was twenty years old, told her mother that she had declared Lavalle had forced the promise-from her at the point of a revolver. Houghton.—An infant daughter of John Kaiser of Rockland was burned to death in a fire which destroyed the home. A five-year-old daughter was rescued', but was burned so that death is expected. The two children were alone in the house when the fire Btarted. Pontiac—The second suit against the D. U. R. for damages for personal injuries WHS discontinued in the circuit court after a 35-minute recess in which a settlement was reached. Harmon H. How, administrator of the estate of Rollin E. Lee. was allowed between $7,000 and $8,000 for Lee's death. JLee lived at Oxford and traveled for a Detroit, wholesale house. He was a passenger on a limited car wrecked near Rochester last October and was instantly killed. Mount Clemens.—Finding of bruises on the body of John Greenop, a clothing merchant of Belding, after hia death at Fountain hotel sent the sheriff and coroner to Detroit in search of a negro who arrived with Greenop from Windsor, Ont., and left the following day. Greenop died without telling how he received his injuries. A telephone call inquiring as to the condition of Greenop was received from Detroit shortly before the man died. Allegan.—Justice D. C Wachs of Grand Haven was placed upon the stand in the Ottawa county conspiracy case. His testimony was identical with that of Hoyt's. Bills presented to the supervisors by ex- Sheriff Andre and Deputy Klaver, the defendants, were read in court. In many instances the allegations of the proseriitinn that two hilln wrro pry Defined. "You don't know the difference between an apiary and an aviary." "Indeed 1 do, then!'' "What is It?" "An apiary is where they keep apes and an aviary is whero they keep airships." • sen ted for the same day's pay were substantiated. Ann Arbor,—Photographs are being made nightly at the U. of M, observatory of the new star which was discovered a few weeks ago by Enfho, the European astronomer. A study being made of this particular star shows that it is following certain successive conditions like other new stars. It is receding from the stellar stage to the nebular type, being now about the sixth magnitude and barely visible to the naked eye. Port Huron. — Medical testimony was heard in the trial of George Esson, charged with the murder of Thomas Major. It became evident the defense would try to show that Major's death was due to natural causes. Major was state chemist. Detroit.—"In addition to an elaborate proposal for the drainage of thousands of acres of swamp and low lands, fne national drainage congress at its meeting this month will take up the matter of ridding the tracts of mosquitoes," said H. L. Davey. "The success of the government in ridding the Panama canal zone of these pests shows what we can do, and eventually the mosquito will have to find another home than the Mississippi valley." Ionia.—The Ionia _ high school graduates- this year * will go on the economy plan and have decided to wear cap and gown and do away with the usual expensive dresses. AB there are H girls and but two boys, the girls had their own way about adopting the costumes. It will be the first time cap and gown has ever been worn in an Ionia commencement. The color will be gray. Ypsilanti.—Charles A. Smith, saloonkeeper, was arrested on complaint of Clauso» M. Davis at the Instigation of Prosecuting Attorney George J. Burke, charging him with keeping his saloon openr Sunday. Smith demanded an examination which was set for April 25. He gave bail in the sum of $200 for his appearance. Plymouth.—A fanner named Ded: rich, living a few miles from here, is suffering with two fractured ribs and other injuries; Earl Peck is badly bruised and cut, and Arthur Ray, a boy, has a broken left arm as the result of a runaway here. Dedrich was moving Peck's househo\d goods when his team was frightened by the shriek of factory whistles and became unmanageable. The wagon was overturned and the two men and boy were hurled violently to the pavement. Grand Rapids.—Standing beside the deathbed of their little daughter, Dorothy, John and Agnes Vanderveen, recently divorced, plighted their troth" anew. Vanderveen, a prosperous grocer, secured a decree some time ago. He went to a distant part of the city. His only daughter, living with her mother, sank into death's shadow. Friends of the family notified the father. As the silent messenger entered the home, the con* pie embraced over the form of their daughter and began life anew. They will be re wed. Titanic 'Bodies Seen on iceDcrg. Officers of the North German Lloyd liner Princess Irene told of a wireless message which thex.^ifcterT^ejrWd Jp which a ship -the name not learned— reported Thai ia, passing r>0T m^ea from the scene of ^he Titanic disaster, she had eiighte'd an iceberg on which were the bodies of more thau a dozen men. All wore life belts and the bodies were huddled in groups at the base of the berg. It was the opinion of officers of the ship that the men had climbed on the mass «f ice and had frozen to death as they were swept southward. No attempt waH made to take oft the bodies. Find Bodies of Three Noted Victims. The bodies of Col. John Jacob Astor and Isidor Straus, the millionaire merchant of New York, who lost their lives in the Titanic disaster, have been recovered and are on board the cable ship Mackay-Bennett. Cleveland, O., lias set a price of one cent upon the herd of every ten dead Mies delivered at the city hall and the children are reaping a harvest. THE MARKETS.

A prisoner was being tried in an English court for murder; evidence against him purely circumstantial; part of it a hat found near the scene of the crime—an ordinary, round, black hat, but sworn to as the prisoner's. Counsel for the defense, of course, made much of the commonness of the bat. "You, gentlemen, no doubt each of you, possess such a hat, of the most ordinary shape and make. Beware how you condemn a Jellowciealure to a shameful death on such a piece of evidence," and so on, So the man was acquitted. Just as hi? was leaving tbe dock, with the most touching humility and -simplicity, he said: "If you please, my lord, may I •avc my Jat?" In the Chase.

The coffee drinker seldom realizes that coffee contains the drug, caffeine, a severe poison to the heart and nerves, causing many forms of disease, noticeably dyspepsia. "I was a lover of coffee and used it for many years, and did not realize tbe bad effects I was buffering from its use. (Tea is just as Injurious as cof« fee because it, too, contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "At first I was troubled with indigestion. I did not attribute the trouble to the use of coffee, but thought it arose from other causes. With these attacks I had sick headache, nausea and vomiting. Finally rny stomach was in such a condition I could scarcely retain any food. "I consulted a physician; was told all my troubles came from indigestion, but was not informed what caused the indgestlon. I kept on with the coffee, and fiept on with the troubles, too, and my case continued to grow worse from year to year until it developed Into chronic diarrhea, nausea and severe attacks of vomiting. I could keep nothing; on my stomach and became a mere shadow, reduced from 159 to 128 pounds. "A specialist informed me I had a very severe case of catarrh of the stomach, which had got so bad he could do nothing for me, and I became convinced my days were numbered. "Then I chanced to see an article setting forth the good qualities of Postum and explaining how coffee injured people so I concluded to give Postum a. trial. I soon saw the good effects—my headaches were less frequent, nausea and vomiting only t a m e on at long Intervals and I was soon a changed man, feeling much better. < • > "Then I thought I could'stand coffee again, but as soon as I tried it my old troubles returned and I again turned to Postum. Would you believe it, I did thisQithree times befor* I had sense enough to quit coffee for good and keep on with the Postum. I am now a well man with no more headaches, ajck stomach or vomiting, and have already gained back to 147 pounds." Name given by Postum Co., Battla Battle Creek, Mich.

'• Nearly all the new bows are quite unlike the simpler forms of ribbon trimmings which We have had in the past. There is a liking for fanciful forms, and ribbons are made up into ornamental pieces ready for mounting on hat shapes just as feathers and flowers are. They are more generally used than ever, and that is saying much, but designers having taken up the idea of making new and strange ribbon decorations, have found them widely useful, taking the place of other trimmings on many hats. Ribbons also are elaborated in themselves; changeable and two-toned colorings, pin-stripes, wide stripes and checks, and many bordered designs are Bhown. Then there are the flowered ribbons and those that are flowered and bordered. Sometimes a piece will combine a number of these foundation until it is covered. Fans and wings of buckram are covered with ribbon laid on flat at one side and in side plaits to the other. Larger disks Ave inches in diameter are slashed in four places about their circumference, to the depth of three incheB. Hy overlapping the slashed edges and sewing them together a form is made with a raised center. It looks like the top of a large "toadstool." Narrow ribbon is gathered into full ruffles and sewed to such foundations. The finished rosettes look like hugh full blown roses. A large ring of buckram, five Inches across, has a circle two inches or a little more, in diameter cut from the center. A wide ribbon with a border Is laid in side plaits and sewed to the buckram ring. Four loops supported by ribbon wire, which is caught to the under side by stitches, are thrust through the opening at the center and ends of ribbon falling from the back of this ornament are to be used to drape about the crown of a hat. Three shades of the same color (as brown or blue) are used in a pretty standing ornament, and similar ornaments are made of two shades, light and dark. Stiff taffeta ribbon is used for this ornament and does not need to be wired. The ribbon is cut into nine-inch lengths and one end of each length is trimmed into a sharp point. The straight end is laid in plaits and sewed to an oblong foundation of buckram. This buckram piece should be two inches wide and four long. The lightest ends are sewed first, then just below them the next darker shade, and finally the darkest shade. The bottom of the buckram is covered with pieces of the two darker shades shirred in fine tucks very close together. This finishes the decorations. These handsome ribbon ornaments maTce^'sufflcTentrtriimnlmj for-strecthats. Since shapes may be bought ready faced they may be effectively trimmed with ribbon ornaments at home.

It goes without saying almost that such elaboration in the ribbon precludes the use of any other trimming with it. Rosettes and cockades (that is stiff up-standing designs) lead in popular favor for trimmings, and the two are often combined in one piece. Buckram is used as a foundation in making these new decorations, and fine wire supports loops that must stand up. A disk of buckram three inches in diameter la about the average size used for rosettes. Ribbon is laid in side plaits and sewed in rows to this SEWING HELP OF REAL VALUE "Scrapbag Attached to the Machine ts an Accessory One Cannot Afford ; to Be Without. The woman who uses a sewing machine will do well to make herself a goetVslsed bag, that.-can be attached to £he side frame of the machine and used to collect all scraps and bits of thread left from the sewing. Select an embroidery hoop 8 inches in diameter and cretonne 16 inches long and 14 inches wide. Sew the ends and one side together and turn the edge of the other side over the hoop and run a gathering thread in the hem thus formed. .When finished draw up the thread the size of the i hoop and catch it tight. This will make a bag that is gathered on to the hoop, and is amply full In body to hold a goodly number of scrap* before it is'necessary to empty. Another sewing help is to have a pattern bag hung back of the machine. Make inside pockets to this hag, In which you can keep the patterns belonging to the different members of the family. Have also two extra pocketa that hold patterns of fancy aprons, bags or drew accessories. ' A deal of time and strength can be saved in the hunting of patterns and picking up bits off the floor if your machine la equipped with these two bandy bags. - In Vivid Colors, Hand embroidery done in vivid col* .ors. will be placed upon a white background of faille or moire silk, and then used aa collar- and cuffa -for tailored *dresae#.-~New York Herald! Dainty bedroom accessories in the way of curtains, bedspreads, bureau and dresser scarfs can be easily made at small cost, of striped or checked gingham. Blue-and-white is a clean color to select. For Ihe bedspread use coarse white lace InRertlou about an inch and a halt wide to join the breadths together down the center, and also to place at the heading of a ruffle eight inches wide that is placed on each side and across the bottom of the spread. t The window curtains are made perfectly plain, excepting for a ruffle across the end headed with insertion. A deep valance across the top is edged with a narrow ruffle also. With a blue-and-white cotton rug on the floor this makes a most attractive room for a young girl. Gingham is very inexpensive and launders beautifully. Bread as a Cleanser. Soldiers use a crust of bread often to clean the white stripes of their trousers.

' Recorded Study of FoooVElcrncnts is Best V a y for Housewife to Avoid Errors. Every housekeeper Bhould be perfectly familiar with the three food products. This is the foundation of menu-making. Proteids, carbohydrates and fats are the three divisions into which all foods are classed. Proteids are the muscle-builders and are found in meat, beans, peas, eggs and nuts. Carbohydrates are the starches and are found in cereals, sugar and starchy foods. These foods produce fat and energy. Fats, such as oils, butter, lard, etc., give heat to the body. A general knowledge of these food properties as they are found In various foods underlies successful cooking as well as menu-making. A good menu is a well-balanced menu in regard to these three food principles. A practical study of these foods Is the best way to avoid orrors In diet. Do not serve several foods of the same composition at the same meal, such as potatoes, rice and macaroni. Do not serve bean or pea soup with roast meat, salmon salad and custard. Try to vary the regular diet. If a heavy meal is served use a light, easily digested dessert. Do not eat too much food out of season. It is expensive. If meat is left out of the dinner menu, plan to serve soup made of peas, nuts or beans and a dessert made of eggs. To avoid serving several fcods of the same composition have in mind small gronps of foods alike in composition. The first and most important group to consider is that of proteid food: Group one—meats, cheese, eggs, nuts, dried peas, beans. Any of these foods can be used for meat, or if nuts, beans or peas are used for a puree, meat can safely be left out of the menu. For every meal select food from each of the groups mentioned—proteid, carbohydrates, fats. Add to this some fresh fruit oi vegetable three times daily and a good beginning will be made toward producing a balanced menu.—Woman's World.

They look well on a dinner table and commend themselves because of novelty. The housekeeper of today is always looking for something new. It is her pride and her delight to set an original table and have something that interests her guests as well as the food does. These little casseroles can be served at any meal. It is not necessary to keep them for a dinner entree. Shirred eggs go in them for breakfast and macaroni with cheese for luncheon. Copper Casseroles. Among the novelties for the xabte are tiny mmvlduarccrpW^^ Strong and Straight. thinning. They are from photographs taken by A. F. Hawes, state forester of Connecticut. In Fig. 1 the trees in the center of the group are strong and straight, but the smaller ones form a mass of foliage, the removal of which helped the others. This is shown by the trees in Fig. 2. The trees left standing are now exposed to the lfght and free from the sapping by the mass of foliage and small trees which have been removed and will grow into strong, tall trees.

The "group method" ts generally tho host adopted for farm woodlots. Select a spot, or several spots, if one will not supply what is wanted, where the forest crop is ripest—possibly overripe— and clear, with due care for young growth, a hole in the forest, taking care that the diameter of this hole is not more than two or three times the height of the surrounding trees. Gradually widen these holes by cutting in concentric rings about them until tho whole area has been cut over. It should be borne in mind, however, that if in any one year more wood is A Mass of Foliage. cut than grows on the whole woodlot in that year the necessary wood capital iadlminishecL . Where the whole area Is cut over before the part cut first had time to grow to maturity a period will have to follow during which the woodlot will stop paying dividends.

This will frost two cakes* A successful West Virginia raspberry grower gives the following reasons for mulching: It prevents the growth of weeds. It retains moisture in the soil. It adds humus, one of the necessary elements. It keeps the fruit clean and prevents mud at picking time. It saves labor, the cost of mulching an acre with forest leaves or straw not exceeding $15. It prevents deep freezing. It makes the fruit more solid for cultivation and better for shipping purposes. It prevents the baking of the soil caused by tramping at picking time. It has the disadvantage of encouraging mice and establishing a surface root system. However, we hare not noticed any serious damage from either of these effects. The cost of growing-raspberries by nature's method, as I like to call it, is not very great. Picking la a nice job where there Is no mad, no weeds snd where the canes have' been properly pruned.

Plant the sweet peas early in trenches fully six inches deep, covering but lightly at first, drawing the soil around the plants as they reach up. This will give better roots by which to withstanding the dry heat by and by. Plant as soon as possible. Root room in fair soil is all the beautiful white Day Lily asks. It is perfectly hardy, likes moist situations, but will do with little water. A plant for the busy housewife. Chrysanthemums may be raised from seeds or from cuttings and sprouts from old roots. If the seeds are sown early in boxes and transplanted the plants will bloom the first year. There may be many poor one.s from seed. Do not forget the hardy everhlouming roses when ordering. Includo some hardy ffowering vines for screens for the porches, back fences and summer arbors. Prairie rosea, evergreen honeysuckles, woodbines, clematis in variety, wistarias, bittersweet, trumpet vine and the harmless wood ivies are all fine. ATTENTION FOR YOUNG TREES Ground Should Be Ferked Up and Well Mellowed and T h e n Covered T w o Inches with Manure. Spring-planted fruit and ornamental trees and bushes should1 have the ground forked up and well mellowed and then covered two Inches deep with long manure, straw, corn stalks, rotted leaves, w«eda or freshly cut grass. This mulch will keep the soil cool and moist. It the summer Is hot and dry give to each tree ooe or two buckets of water. Apply the water late In the evening, spread it slowly around the trunk of tree so it can reach the roots. If the water is dashed against the stem most of it will run off the hard ground and it will be of little beneiit to the tree. Garden Cart and Wheelbarrow. On an average fully one-half crt the trees that die the first summer could have been saved had they been properly mulched and given a little water when needed. Young trees planted in exposed positions, where they are liable.to heavy wind and rainstorms, should be staked and tho trees tied to the stakes with a rye straw or canvas band. An old sail cut into strips makes excellent bands. To keep the roots from belnu loosened, where ground is soft, place four or live large stones on top of tho mulch clooe up to the stem of tree. Two of the most handy implements on tho farm for general, all-around work, are the old-fashioned wheelbarrow and throe-wheeled cart. Ready for Young Trees. While the stock is coming, prepare the ground. It will not be necessary to add new soil as the trees have been selected with reference to the kind found where they are to bo planted. Dig very large holes and fill them in. Tho trees always do better in tilled ground than they do in that which has not been broken up. If the land is sod, it would be well to plow tho entire strip, as grass Is a great enemy to newly planted things. When the trees arrive, take them at once to some friable land near whore they are to be planted and heel them in. Nursery stock is often Injured by being kept too long in boxes. After the plants are heeled in it will be safe to transplant them to permanent places any time within a week or ten days from the lime of their arrival. Evergreens ought to be planted as early as possible. When buds begin to swell the time is right to top-graft. Prune sparingly and a little every year, is the best plan. Just as soon now as frost is out, the ground will be ready for tree planting. In that order for fruit trees, you can't go wrong by putting in a few Jonathan apples. The era of the haphazard and careless horticulturist and agriculturist haa passed away. For orchard spraying a three-eighths or half-inch hose is best, and In lengths of GO feet. Soil for strawberries should be a deep, rich loam, capable of holding a good deal of moisture. It Is not. a good plan to plant trees while the ground is wet and soggy. Let It dry out a little. Don't get the idea that you cannot obtain satisfactory results from spraying Just because your neighbor failed. Be sure that all of your hose couplings are of the same size so that any two lengths may be coupled together. Any tendency to fancy.shaped flower beds and fancy flower stands and such grlmcracks should be firmly suppressed. Do not. expect satisfaction from bordeaux mixture that has stood for as much as 24 hours. It deteriorates quickly. JWhjsn done spraying each day, run some clean water through toe pump, to wash oat the spray mixture and srold corroslotf ot the working parts.

Women ~~ Appreciate the value of good looks—of a fine complexion, a skin free from blemishes, bright eyes and a cheerful demeanor. Many of them know, also, what it means : to be free from headaches, backaches, lassitude and extreme nervousness, because many have learned the value of BEEGHAM'S PILLS as the most reliable aid to better pflyeV ical condition. Beecham's Pills have an unequaled reputation because they act so mildly, but so certainly and s o beneficially. By clearing the system, regulating the bowels and liver, they tone the stomach and improve the digestion. Better feelings, better looka, better spirits follow the use of Beecham's Pills so noted the world over For Their Good Effects Sold eTorrwb*r«, 1 0 c . 2 5 c Women especially should read the directions with every box.

Mrs. Bflriic! Hinchey Mary Elizabeth Doane was born in the township of Waterloo, Ingham county, Mich., January 2, 1845, and departed this life, April 26th, 1912, leaving to mourn cheir loss, her children, grandchildren, brothers, sisters and a host of other relatives and friends. At the age of 19, she was married to Burdick Hinchey and to this union were born 11 children, 9 of whom are living: Mrs. Belle Nolan and Mrs. Clarinda Zink of Flint; Mrs. Nellie Reule of Owosso; Mrs. Laura Smith of Dilke, Sascathewan; John, Frank, Orla and Glenn of Pinckney and Percy of Perry, Mich. Two of her children having died: Gladys in 1878 and Harriet in 1898, and her husband following in 1908. Although not a member of any church, she led an exemplary Christian life, a life of patience, fortitude and devotion. Her illness was of short duration and she passed away surrounded by all of her children except Laura whom it was impossible to reach. All that loving hands and tender care could do was of no avail; her work in this life was finished and she went to join her loved ones in Heaven. "A TRIBUTE TO OUR MOTHER" "The dearest, truest, fondest Dame, All the world gives her that fame. She it was that gave you birth, From her life you took your worth. Stop and look upon her brow, See the time marks on her brow. See the love light in her eyes, .- Mother love that never diea. Put around her your strong arm, And protect Her from all harm. Tell her what she longs to hear. I will always love you dear." Card of Thanh We wish to kindly • thank the friends and neighbors for their assistance during the illness and 4eath-e£ onr dear mother. Al«o the minister for his words of comfort; and the choir for their singing. Your kindness we can never forget. Children of Mrs. Mary E. Hinchey County Base Ball Leape A move is on foot to organize a county base ball league to be made up of Fowlerville,Brighton, Pinckney, Gregory and Howell. There has never been a time when more base ball enthusiam was manifested than right now. With all the excellent material available, in not only the towns contemplated, but in two or three other communities in this county, it should not be necessary to wait until the Fowlerville fair to spend a week's pay in going down to Detroit in order to see a game of ball and so work off the accumulation of base ball fever. With a six team league it would be possible to play a game in each town once a week; or the schedule could be arranged to provide a game in each of six towns every other week. If the promotors can figure on paying expenses it will be tried out. Other country papers are invited to express themselves on the subject.—Livingston Republican. It seems like a good thing and we have no doubt but that the towns named would give it their hearty support How's This? We offer $100.

South Lyon got their lone ran in the ninth when Hendee fell down fielding a bunt and Van- Atta scored. H. Swarthout had a great day at bat getting a homer, a double and a single in four times np.

The II<any business friends of F. G. Jackson will be pleased, to learn of his new alliancejwith W. E. Murphy in the Grocery and Gent's Furnishing business at the old stand, the firm now beings known as Murphy & Jackson. These two business men are too well known to the people who do their trading in Pinckney to require any introduction. As everybody knows, they have had exceptionally good success in their business here, both having started here and spent the greater part of their business careers catering to the wants of the local consumers. Mr. Jackson, desiring to be at home oftener, has severed his connection with Edson Moore & Co., wholesale dry goods merchants of Detroit, for whom he has been traveling salesman and will be "on the job" at all times in the store of Mnrphy & Jackson. Mr. Marphy will also be there, ready and willing as usual to sell prunes or talk about the Tigers. We wish to congratulate Messrs Murphy and Jackson on the new partnership and wish them the best of success and we also want to congratulate the Pinckney public for the pleasure of dealing with iheee-twe- rnerehants without the trouble of going to two stores to do so as in,,the past. We regret Mr. Roche's departure from the business. He has made a host of friends while here and we understand his plans for the future do not contemplate leaving Pinckney. GET AHEAD of the FLIES Life's too short to bother with flies. Some people go to the sea-shore and escape them. But most stay at home. If you haven't looked over your screen doors and windows yet, and noticed their deficiencies, you ought too. They will probably need new wire, or taaybe you'll need new doors and windows. Better look this matter up at once. If you have looked over last years^ screens, noticed a few holes here and there, then shaken your head and said "Ob, they'll do,'1 you're making a big mistake. Better have no screens at all, than have screens with holes in. For the flies will come in just as bad through'torn screens as if the door stood wide open- When you can buy new, fresh screens as uheap as we're selling them, why will you put up with the torment and danger of flies pouring through old screens. Then you want to consider the great improvement in appearance our spick-and-span screens will make in yonr home.

Jenkins, cornea In and, faiUnpr to recognize I-itflitnut. attempts to put him out. Thinking the servant crazy, Llghtnut changes his clothes intending to summon help, w h e n he reappears Jenkins falls on his neck with Joy. confirming Ughtnut's belief that he la crazy. JenkinB tells U g h t n u t of the encounter he h a d * U h a hideous Chinaman dressed In pajamas. In a message from his friend, Jack Billings. U g h t n u t is asked to put up "the kid for the night on his w a y home from college. I^ater Llghtnut finds a beautiful girl in blwck pajamas in his room. Lightnut is shocked by the girl's drinking, smoking and slangy talk. She tells h m her name Is Francis and puzzles him with a story of her love for her s i s t e r s room-mate, named Frances. Next morning the girl Is missing and Llghtnut hurries to the boat to see her off. He is accosted by a husky college boy, who calls him "Dicky," but he does not see the girl. Jack Billings calls to spend the night with U g h t n u t . They discover priceless rubles hidden In the buttons of the pajamas. Billings dona the pajamas and retires. U g h t n u t later discovers In his apartment a beefy person In mutton- chop whiskers and wearing pajamas.

But, as It la, I guess you're the one now who will have to set me right with these people. You'll have to stand for me." Jenkins looked alarmed. He addressed the officers eagerly: "S'help me," he cried, his glance Impaling the prisoner with scorn, "1 never see this party before In the ten years I been in New York!" "Call for the wagon, Tim," said O'Keefe Bhortly, Indicating the •phone. "The fool's going to give trouble. Kahoka ApartmentB, tell Hurry; let's get him to the CHAPTER XI. (Continued.) "Oh, come now, Braxton," said the officer in a tone of disgust, "stop your foolery; you're Juat using up time. Ain't It enough that you're in this building and in this gentleman's rooms?" "In his rooms!" exploded Foxy Grandpa. "Why, you lunkhead, this gentleman will tell you I am his .J3West!V.L.He_turaed„to nie with a s_ort_ of angry laugh. 'Tell him, Ughtnut," he rasped. "I've had enough of this!" The big policeman's features expanded in a grin, while Tim doubled forward an instant, his blue girth wabbling with Internal appreciation of the Foxy one's facettousness; and the janitor snickered. Jenkins looked shocked. As for me, dash It, I never so wished for my monocle, don't you know! O'Keefe's head angled a little«to give me the benefit of a surreptitious wink. "Oh, certainly," he said, his voice affecting a fine sarcasm; "If the gentleman says you're his friend—" "He's no friend of mine," I proclaimed indignantly. "Never saw him before in my life." Instead of being confounded, the artful old villain fell back with a great air of astonishment and dismay. By Jove, he managed to turn fairly purple. "Wha-at's that?" he gasped Strangllngly and clutching at the collar of his pajamas. "Say that again, Dicky." I looked at him severely. "Oh, I say, don't call me 'Dicky/ either," 1 remonstrated quietly. "It's a name I only like to hear my intimate friends use." He kind of caught the back of a chair and glared wildly at me from under his bushy wintry eyebrows. The beefy rolls of his lower Jaw actually trembled. "Don't you—haven't you always classed me as that, Die—er—Llghtnut?" he sort of whispered. By Jove, the effrontery of such acting fairly disgusted me. I looked him over from head to foot with measured them, street." He made a dive at the figure In the chair and jerked him forward. But his grip seemed to slip and he only moved his prisoner a few inches. He tried again with about the same result. "Get a move on, Tim," he said pantingly. "He's bigger, somehow, than he looks, and awful heavy; it'll take both of us. Get up, Braxton, unleas you want the club!" The man settled solidly In the depths of the chair. "Club and be hanged!" he replied with a snap of his jaw. "I won't go in any dirty police wagon—that's flat! Y^ou may take me in a hearse first. "Foxy^f Get a cab or a taxi, if I have to go. with you!" "ffiamey ol£ sport, anyhow, by* Jove!* l thought with sudden admiration. Couldn't help it, dash it! Heart Just went out to him, somehow. I gently interposed as O'Keefe prepared to lunge again. "I'll stand the cab for him, officer," I said with a smile, "if your rules, don't you know, or whatever it Is, will allow." I added in a lowered voice: "Wakes' ~I t~devtr ist-esBTeT-for—yotr,- don't you know, and avoids such a Jolly row. And—er—I want to ask you and your friend to accept from me a little token of my appreciation." The policeman exchanged a glance with Tim and considered. "Well, sir," he said, "as to the cab, of course if you're a mind to want to do that, It's your own affair," He turned to his companion. "Just cancel that, Tim," he directed. "Call a four-wheeler." "Thank you, Llghtnut." put In the old man gratefully. "You have got a grain of decency left, by George, after all!" Meantime, Jenkins was answering my inquiry. "I don't believe, sir, you have a bit of cash in the bouse. You told me so when you were retiring." By Jove, I remembered now! The poker game in the evening! I was wondering whether they could use a check, when I spied Billings' wallet on the table. The very thing, by Jove! Examination showed, first thing, a wad of yellow-backs, fresh from the bank. I peeled off two and pushed them into the officer's hand. "This belongs to a friend of mine," I remarked; "but it'B Just the same as my own, don't you know, and he won't BEAD _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ THTS f • • • * • " • * • PROOF C l t F U U .

Why, you can see he ain't so very big." He nodded to Jenkins and the janitor. "Here, you two! Help us, can't you?" And with one mighty, united heave, they brought the loudly protesting old man to his feet and held him there. O'Keefe faced me. "Might be well to take a look around, sir, and see If you think of anything eiBe he's stolen, before we take him off." "Good idea, Llghtnut!" Old Braxton stopped struggling and whirled his head toward me, his face almost black with rage. "Ha, ha! Why don't you have me searched? There's not a pocket in these damn pajamas!" "Anything whatever, sir, we'll have him leave behind," said O'Keefe. "By Jove!" I don't know how I ever managed to say it. Fact is, things had just suddenly spun round before me like a merry what's-lts-name. For I did recognize something! The old fellew's unabashed reference to pajamas was what brought It to my attention. "Ha!" O'Keefe nodded. 'There is something! Just say the word, sir." I looked helplessly at Jenkins, and then I saw that of a sudden he recognized them, top. His eyes rolled at me una'erstandingly. "What is it, sir?" demanded O'Keefe respectfully. 'The law requires—" I swallowed hard. "It—it's the pajamas," I said faintly. The old rascal tttered a roar and tried to get at me. "You cold-blooded scoundrel!" he bellowed. "So this Is why—" But here a Jab of the night stick tonk him In th ? «<d« ™Hh ft sound mta a blow on a punching bag. Words left the old man and he gasped desperately for breath. O'Keefe tried to shake him. "Did you get those pajamas In here?" he demanded fiercely, and he drew back his stick as though for another Jab. But the old geezer nodded quickly, glaring at me and trying to wheeze something. "That's enough," said the officer. He turned to me. "You recognize them, do you, sir?" "I—I think BO," I stammered, looking at Jenkins, who nodded. "They belong to a friend of mine who—a— must have left them here." "I see." He fished out a note-book. "Mind giving me the name, sir? Just a matter of form, you know—" He licked his pencil expectantly. "Oh, I say, you know—" I gasped at Jenkins. "I don't think she—I—" "Certainly not, sir," affirmed Jenkins, solemnly looking upward. "She?" The note-book slowly cloaed, then with the pencil went back '•• »*-/h»*a along now, Braxton—shut up, I tell you!" And with all four of them behind the charge, they managed to rush the loudly protesting old man to the door. "I won't go without my clothes, 1 tell you," he raged. But he did. Fighting, swearing and protesting, the jolly old vagabond waa roughly bundled into the elevator. "Good night, sir," called O'Keefe as the tour of them dropped downward. "We'll let you know if it seems necessary to trouble you." Once again inside, Jenkins and I just stared at each other without a word, we were that tired and diBguated. To me, the only dashed crumb of comfort in the whole business was the wonderful fact that Billings seemed to have slept like a jolly Rip through the whole beastly row. CHAPTER X I I I . Frances. By Jove, it seemed to me I had been asleep about a minute when I saw the sunlight splashing through the blinds. Jenkins stood beside me with something in his hand. "Didn't hear me, did you, sir?" he was asking. T said I thought the address looked'like Mr. Billings' handwriting. And he's gone, sir." "Gone?" I sat up, rubbing the sleep from my ©yea—I had _a befogged-notion, that Jenkins looked a little queer. "Yes, Bir. He's not in his room, nor In the apartment anywhere." "Eh—how—what's that?" For Jenkins' hand extended an envelope. "Perhaps you would like to read this now, sir." It was from Billings—I knew his fist In an instant. It was very short and without heading. In fact, above his name appeared just a half-dozen penciled words, heavily underscored, and without punctuation: Damn you send me my clothes "His cinthes?" I looked perplexedly at Jenkins. He was noklng a little pale and held his eyes fixedly to the picture molding acrosb the room. He coughed gently. "Yes, sir," lie uttered faintly; "they're in his room, but he ain't." lie stepped back, leaving something on the stand by my bed. "What's that?" I questioned in alarm. "Another note?" "In His Roomsr contempt. "I don't know you at all," I said coldly, turning away. "Ye gods!" be wheezed, clutching at his grlzsled hair. - * - — > — « . J.

"It'-s entertaining, but enough of a thing—" But the old duffer caught his sleeve. "Wait!" he panted. "One s e c o n d - wait—just one second!" He looked at Jenkins and ducked hit neck forward, swallowing hard. "Jenkins," he said with a sickly smile. "You—you see bow U Is wltb IUghtnut—poor fellow! None of us ever thought be would go off that ' • $ • mind. Dash it, we're Just like broth-1 ers!" A howl of maniacal laughter from the old fool in the chair startled us both. "Regular Damon and Pythias, damn it!" he gabbled, grinning with hideous face contortions. "One for all, and all for one! And just help yourself; don't mind me. Why—hell!" O'Keefe prodded him sharply in the shoulder with his night stick. "Stop your skylarking now, Foxy," he admonished angrily, "and come on. Here the gentleman's gone and put up his money for a cab for you and you ought to want to get out of his way so he can rest." "He's sure been kind to you," supplemented Tim, whose eye had noted the passing of the yellow boys. "Kind!" mocked the old geezer, showing his scattered teeth In a horrible grin. "Why, he's a lu-lu, a regular Samaritan!" "No names!" warned O'Keefe, slightly lifting his night stick. "Come on to the street—you seem to forget yon're under arrest" He added hastily: "And I ought to have warned yon that anything you may say, Foxy—" "Oh, you go to—Brooklyn!" snarled Foxy. "For two plus I'd knock your block off, you fat-headed Irish fool! Think I'm going down to the sidewalk without my clothes?" "Are your clothes somewhere in this building?" I asked with some sympathy. He whirled on me sceertngiy and jeered like a jolly screech owl: "Oh, no; not exactly in the building— they're on the flagpole on the roof, of course! He-he-he? Bloody good joke, Isn't it?" t sat on the edge of the table wearily; and, catching the policeman's eye, shrugged my seen Id erg significantly. "You're right, sir," he s~d<*pologetically. "We won't fool a second longer. Here, you take that side, Tim. Let's pull!" And they, did pull, but, by Jove, tbey couldn't raise htm. "Queerest go I ever see," Tim gasped.

Give a mixed grain ration of wheat bran and ground oats. Give t w o or three quarts of grain night and morning. If grass Is sjbqnt, a n armful-otcornfodder should b ^ J e d ^ w U * #. day. The cow t o b e eerwea maV b e turned into t h e l o t with t h e bull; after Bervice, give a small feed of bran §pd while bull la eating, throw the atanohtyn lever, thus securely fastening the bull; t h e cow may then be removed without danger.

When this method Is followed, the dairyman is always in debt to the cow dealer. The bull should be kept in good thrifty condition. A cross bull may often be tamed by turning one or two dry cows into the lot with him. Bulls should have daily exercise and be grain fed. If this is n o t done, they may become impotent or slow in serving. T h e young bull should be kept in a separate pasture and not allowed t o run with the heifers.

My barn has a cement basement, tho walls being eight feet in the clear, excepting where the driveway goes through, writes W. J. Yarnall in the Breeders' Gazette. The side walls are 16 inches at the bottom and 12 inches at the top. T h e end walls are 14 inches at t h e bottom and the same at the top.

A woman reader wishes help regarding ropy milk, asking* the cause and the cure. T h e milk is strained a* night and the next morning the cream i s ropy and must be thrown away. It Is not always easy t o trace the cause of ropy milk to i t s source. Without going into any lengthy explanation, it may b e said that ropy or slimy milk is caused by certain bacteria. One type may be found in dirty, stagnant water. If the cows wade i n this water their flanks and udders become the resting place for this type. T h e bacteria are easily transferred to the milk at milking time. The stable becomes infected, a s It were, and also t h e utensils that come in contact with the milk. T h e germs lodge in the crevices of the utensils and readily propagate in the warm milk. The cure lieB i n absolute cleanliness. All utensils should be thoroughly scalded. Lime Is a n excellent destroyer of all germ life. The utensils* may be given a coating of the slaked lime, then washed in boiling water. It may be necessary t o give t h e stable a thorough cleaning with lime used a s whitewash. HANDY DEVtCE IN THE BARN Lever Attached to End Used for Opening and Closing Stanchions— , How It Is Made.

It made t h e journey over and back, a trip of 28 days, and was still sweet. There was no preservatives used, and the only precaution was t o have the dishes and bottle perfectly sterile, cooling the milk at once and keeping it all t h e time at a low temperature. This seems a good while t o keep milk sweet, but it shows what cleanliness and a low temperature can d o with milk. $ DAIPY Ncres The1 Lever Do.ee i.

In his investigation of the radioao tlvity of the organs of the human body. Dr. Albert Caan or Heidelberg has examined 41 organs from 13 different persons, and every one of them contained some substance that made the ajr electrically conductive, as shown by the Bercker emanometer. ft was concladed that this substance must be radioactive, though possibly not radium itself. The brain, and also the lungs, proved very active; but the heart and liver were less so, and the kidneys and spleen showed only slight activity. The radioactive substance seemed to increase with age and in disease. Little effect was shown from such conditions as social position, occupation or manner of living, and even locality of living was unimportant. Radioactive substances —the effect of which on the vital activity of the body cells remains to |be learned—might come from food and drink, or from the air. The testing emanometer Includes a receptacle for the ashes of about 100 grains of the organ under test, and this is connected by electric wires and a rubber tube to a wire electrometer—with a microscope for fine readings—in the circuit of a storage battery. The new Pulitzer School of Journal- Ism at Columbia university is not to be thrown open to women, it has been decided, but the reason given Is the broader ground of the university policy that does not admit women to courses, rather than the narrow principle of feminine unfitness for the vocation 'n question, says the Philadelphia Ledger. Some women have brilliantly succeeded as newsgatherers; a certain conscientious persistency united to the quality of human sympathy has .enabled them to And their way where a man might prove a mere Impatient trespasser. Both In this country and abroad there save been feminine editors who have neither sought jior- required indulgeaee-beeatise tfceywere not men. On the whole, tho editorial rather than the reportorlal capacity— seems- better adapted to the womanly natures of delicate susceptibilities and refinement But women have succeeded both as reporters and as editors. At a meeting of the Llnnean society of London, Prof. Poulton presiding, a letter was read from Herr Paul Scherdlin, as follows: "For hundreds of years pigeons have nested on the spire of Strassburg Cathedral. They increased so much that many attempts have been made to extirpate them, but in vain. During the last few years there has been a sudden and startling diminution in the number of these cathedral pigeons. I am of the opinion that this manifest reduction Is due to the asphalting of the streets rouvl the cathedral. Between the stone sets of the pavement the pigeons were able to pick up food In Quantity. In consequence of the asphalting and daily watering and cleansing of the places in the immediate neighborhood the birds have sons." * A Harvard professor says that every man is responsible for his own face, as it reflects the qualities most in control of the Individual. Here is a scientific Indorsement of the method, generally condemned as superficial, of taking every one on bis face value. The Paris police have ruled that pugilists must not hurt each other. Judging by the French duel, this Is the only way boxing will ever be made popular in France. FEAST FOR HARMONY Democratic Women Will Have Dolly Madison Dinner. MRS.

By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—The woman Democrats of Washington are to have a Harmony Dinner on the anniversary of the birth of Dolly Madison, whom they have chosen as the patron saint of female Democracy. Dolly Madison was born so long ago that it would be ungallant to give the year, but the month was May, and the day was the twentieth. At the dinner will be several hundred women guests, all Democrats. The .presiding officer by natural right and natural choice will be Mrs. Champ Clark, wife of the speaker of the national house of representatives. Mrs. Robert C Wickltffe is recognized, as was some centuries ago a churchman namesake, as the morning star of a new movement Mrs. Wlckllffe 1B the wife of the Democratic representative In congress from the Sixth Louisiana district. She had only to impart her thought to other women connected by marriage, parentage or sisterly ties with the Democrats in congress to have It received with enthusiasm and given the instant force of a propaganda. The only thing about the whole affair which even in a sense is borrowed appears to be the thought that a "harmony dinner" will be about the right thing. It probably will be remembered that the man Democrats prepared and carried through successfully & like affair on the night of Jackson day, the anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. At the Jackson night feast Democratic candidates for the nomination for the presidency sat in elbow-to-elbow amity at the clrief table. At the Dolly Madison dinner Mrs. Champ Clark, Mrs. William J. Bryan, Mrs. Oscar W^-Underwootlr Mrs^-Woodrow Wilson, Mrs. Judson Harmon, Mrs. Thomas R. Marshall, Mrs. John A. Dix, Mrs. Eugene N. FOBS, and Mrs. William Randolph Hearst will sit at the first table to help give the grace of harmony with the grace of other things to the occasion. Mrs. Cleveland May Be There. It is possible that Mrs, Grover Cleveland will be present at the dinner. She has been invited, but it Is not certain yet that she will be present. If Mrs. Cleveland shall come, she will be, by right of the fact that she is the widow of a president of the United States, the chief guest of the occasion, but otherwise there will be no recognition of rank. MrB. Alton B. Parker also may be present and these guests called from a distance will have as close table companions women descendants direct and collateral of several presidents of the United States. Among the chief executives who will be represented "through1 posterity" are Thomas Jefferson, Martin Van Buren, Andrew Jackson, James Monroe and John Tyler. The younger generation of Democracy will be well represented on the occasion. The daughters will be there in numbers, "a goodly array," it la said of Democratic youth and loveliness. The walls of the big dining room are to do duty as a framework for flowers. The music will be patriotic and not partisan, but the toasts in part will be to the welfare of Democratic principles, to the deeds of Democratic women, and to harmony among Democrats regardless of sex. Mrs. Champ Clark Is to be the toast mistress. What the Insects Cost. In writing upon the subject of a bill recently introduced by congress, to protect the birds of the United States, William E. Brigham said this: "If all the six hundred colleges and all the college endowments In the' United States should be destroyed tomorrow, the insect tax of one year not only would replace them, but would leave a balance sufficient to endow" thirty-two new universities in the sum of $10,000,000 each. It costs more,, by many millions each year to feed our insects than to educate our 20,000,000 children." If the writer of the above had wanted further to impress home the necessity of bird protection, he might have added the statement of a French scientist who after an exhaustive study of the relation of birds to agriculture said that if the birds were annihilated that man could not survive on tbo earth for six months. When the Frenchman's word was doubted, scientists from all countries of the globe came forward to substantiate his word on the subject This Is the way that the Frenchman summarized the matter. He said that If the bird enemies of the insects were killed the destructive creatures would increase so rapidly that in a few months every green thing on the earth would be devoured and that man would be powerless to keep pace with the ravagee of the insect enemy, even though he used every known moans like poison and fire. With the passing of the herbs and the grass and the trees the animals all would die and man would have nothing to live upon except the fish of tho sea and these would be Insufficient to keep man living even though they could be obtained by the people remote from the sources of supply. Senator George P. McLean or Connecticut has introduced into congress a bill supplementary to the one which h© introduced some time ago to protect the birds of America. It Is not known what action congress will take, but there are evidences at hand that the agrlcultnrists of the country are taking a deep Interest in the matter for they are adding their word of support to the words of the bird protectors generally and to those of the sportsmen and the people who are humanitarians without having any greater Interest in birds than they have in other forms of animal life which they thing should be protected. In the year 1904 Dr. C. L, Bartlett, basing his estimate on the crop reports of the department of agriculture, asserted that the loss to the agricultural industries that year, caused by insects alone, could be conservatively placed at $795,100,000, and this does not include a dollar used for insecticides. State Ornithologist Forbush of Massachusetts, in his comprehensive book entitled "Useful Birds," maintains that insect pests destroy agricultural products to the value of $800,000,000 a year. The details whereby such enormous totals are reached are available and indicate that the scientists are not guessing wildly. For example, the Hessian fly in 1904 cost the wheatgrowing states $60,000,000. Cinch bugs cost the Mississippi valley $100,- 000,000 in one year. Rocky Mountain locusts, in their years -of greatest activity, cost the northwest more than $150,000,000. Cut-worms have caused a JOBS of $100,000,000 at one time. Thus it is Been that the terrible loss of $800,000,000 in one year is fairly easy of proof. Their Marvelous Fecundity. The fecundity of many insects is beyond imagination. The green leaf louse or aphis, so destructive of the bop industry, and many other of our most valuable fruits and vegetables, reproduces its kind at a rate of ten sextillion to the pair in one season. These inconceivable figures mean 40,- 000 for every square Inch of land that is above water. Placed in the Indian file, ten to the inch, it would take light traveling at the rate of 180,000 miles per second 2,500 years to reach the file leader. The potato bug is less fecund. One pair will reproduce from fifty to sixty millions only in one season. The unchecked natural increase of one pair of gypsy moths would de- •foHate-the--Jutted- -States—hr eight I ie. years. K , o n Insects live to eat. Some insects Increase their size at birth ten thousand times in thirty days. No less than 176 species of insects attack the apple, plum, peach and cherry trees; 400 species are found upon the oak. Fortunately for the protection of humanity against its insect enemies, birds are among the most Important agencies in staying the inroads of insect devastation. Most birds eat most of the time and eat insects and little else. Mr. TreadweJl of the Boston Society of Natural History fed a yo.ung robin sixty-eight angleworms in one day. A young crow will eat twice Its weight a day of almost anything set before it. Mr. Forbush haB seen two parent grosbeaks in eleven hours make 450 trips to their nest, carrying two or three larvae at a time. Old Wabash to Be Broken Up. The old wooden frigate Wabash, which has been at the Boston navy yard in service as a receiving ship for a long time, 1B to be broken up and that which is metal about her will bo sold for junk, while the woodwork will be burned on one of the islands in Boston harbor. The Wabash has been at the Boston navy yard or, more properly speaking, the Charlestown navy yard, for thirtyseven years. There are not many stirring associations connected with tho Wabash. She saw service during the Civil war, but was in no "wing and wing" sea fights during that conflict. She was present at the bombardments of Hatteras Inlet, Port Royal and Fort Fisher, but of encounters like that in which the old Constitution engaged In L / • * ^ SITUATION ^AftOJLLND NEW ORLEANS WORST SINCE WATERS BEGAN RISING. LOSS MAY REACH $100,000,000 IN SOUTH. Looters Reaping Rich Harvest Throughout Country; Heavy Loss of Life Is Feared in Villages People Refused to Leave. With wutcr pouring through live new breaks which have occurred in the levees along the Mississippi river and its tributaries, the flood situation in this section is more serious than it has been at any time since the waters began rising. Fourteen hundred feet of levee have been swept out at Torras, widening the crevasse to 3,000 feet and releasing a wall of water 8 to 10 feet high and half a mile wide. This will in. undated West Baton Rouge and Iberville parish and add greatly to the flood damage in Pointe Coupee. Farmers report hundreds of people are marooned in their homes who are in urgent need of relief. Looters in skiffs are reported to be reaping a rich harvest in the inundated country. Many houses from which their occupants were hastily driven have been broken open and robbed. Over 1,000 refugees have passed through New Roads. All of them tell the same story of hardship, misery and suffering. Most of them have been rendered penniless. A general exodus from the New Orleans district is reported by army officers. The people are panic si ricken at the sight of the steadily rising river. Thus far most of the' levees are holding, but they are in a highly critical condition. Estimates received place the probable damage at not less than $50,000,- 000 in the Mississippi valley. Less conservative estimates than those of army engineers place the total at $100,000,000. N E W 5 O F MICHIGAN General Pension Bill Parsed. The house 17U to 57 accepted cont o r t on the de4tef-a-dfty-pe*t— bill. The period of enlistment for beneficiaries u"der the new law was fixed at 90 days in both the civil and Mexican wars. The measure will cost the government about $27,000,000 annually. The bill now goes to President Taft. His advisers think he will sign it. Under the constitution, the president has 10 days in which to act. 11 he does not sign it within that time it becomes a law. Hibben Now Heads Princeton. before a brilliant assemblage of Princeton alumni, undergraduates, trustees and faculty and many thousand guests and representatives from other institutions throughout the country, John Grier Hibben, the fourteenth president, of Princeton university, was formally inducted into office. Gomez "Beat It" for San Antonio, Tex. Emilio Vasquez Gomez, "provisional president'' of Mexico, has quit bis "capitol" in Juarez." Francisco Pra« dillo, who imported him, said that, he was hiding in that city* Other rebel officials said Gomez had "bent it" lor San Antonio. Pradillo admitt.ee! that Gomez had gone to Texas. the war of, 1812 the Wabash had none. When it is learned that a man-ofwar is to be put out of commission and sold or broken up, and there comes no protest from the people, it can be pretty well understood that little of sentiment attaches to the vessel and that her career waa not one of pulse-stirring interest. If It were suggested that the Oregon should be given up or that the Olympia, which was Dewey's ship In the Manila hay fight, were to be told for junk, It la probable tbat there would be an Instant demand from the country that they be saved. The Wabash, now about to be broken up. was preceded at the Charlestown navy yard as a receiving ship by the Ohio, a wooden full rigged ahlp without steam auxiliary. Every man on board the old Ohio war a sailor or fast on the way to become one: She was a slow ship, not even at fast as the old Constitution, but she was solidly built with oak and in her day was considered most formidable. The Ohio had a part in the Mexican war and was one of the ships which covered the landing of the United States troops on the coast of Mexico when Scott started on his campaign for the Mexican capital.

Does it pay to stop your motor car after an accident and go back to see what has happened? Two young motorists on the south side believe it does. With a green chauffeur these tw> boys were trying out a new model touring car. They were sitting In t'.ie back seat when the greenhorn at the steering wheel gave it a twist and came within an ace of hitting an oitt man at a crossing., The victim waa so shocked that he fell to the pavement, and a crowd gathered In an Instant. Looking back, the motorists decided that things looked bad, but tbat they bad better go back and see whether the old party was killed. Finding him all right, but winded, they took him for a nice ride around the parks. So pleasant did they make it for him that when they took'hlm home to his wife he introduced them as "The two young men who saved my life." , They are now thinking of applying for Carnegie medals. * 4¾ KNOW3 NOW Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case For a Time. It's easy to understand how ordinary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts. A physician speaks of his own experience: "Ihad used coffee for years and really did not exactly believe it was injuring me although I had palpitation of theheart every day. (Tea contains caffeine— the same drug found in coffee— and Is just as harmful as coffee.) "Finally one day a severe and almost fatal attack of heart troublefrightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead, and since that time I have had absolutely no heart palpitation except on one or two occasion* when I tried a small quantity of coffee,which caused severe irritation and proved to me I moat let it alone. "Whan we began using Postum It seemed weak—that was because we did not make it according to directions —but now we put a little bit of butter in the pot when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full 15 minutes which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color. "I have advised a great many of my friends and patients to leave off coffee and drink Postum, in fact I dally ve this advice." Name given by Posture Co., Battle Creek Mich.

They will be In charge of a committee composed of N. P.

The boys will be required to appear at the fair provided with sufficient clothing for necessary changes and with toilet articles and should any boy transgress the rules and be adjudged guilty he will be sent home at onoe—but this is not expected to happen, however. Michigan, boys have the opportunity this year to attend the annual State Pair at Detroit without expense for the Michigan State Agricultural Society has arranged for a Boys' State Pair School and will select eightythree boys, one from each county of the state, as pupils. These boys will be determined upon after an examination and will have every expense paid from the time they leave home until their return. They will receive an education in the practical sides of agriculture and will then be asked to write an essay upon the matters they have treated upon In the school lessons. The essays will be written in competition as valuable prizes are to be awarded to the sevtral winners. The committee in charge will go over these essays very carefully and decide upon the winner, who will receive $350 credit upon the purchase price of an R-C-H automobile which he may purchase immediately should he desire by paying the $350 difference or he may allow his •credit to stand and attempt to win the car finally by a victory in his second year in the Boys State Fair School. A double victory will give him the car outright. This magnificent gift is made by Mr. Geo. C. Hupp, Michigan distributor of the R-C-H Corporation of Detroit who is also offering to the pupils two pure bred Berkshire hogs as a prize. Mr. Hupp _is_aJb.EDiJlfiiL of .Miv R- C.

Look long and deep enough into pet* tonality, and if you have in your temperament something of tbe whimsicality of Charles Dickens, you will discover in every man and woman that you meet a fragment of that humor or that pathos, that ridiculousness or that heroism, that absurdity or that genial benovolence, which make up the Immense and beautiful mosaic of the Dickens temple. I confess that I have found it many times difficult to preserve a grave aspect in the society of the great and learned, that often 1 have longed to cry out to these mighty ones, "Rogue!" "Humbugl" WORTH KEEPING M MEMORY Qarnared Wisdom That Has Been Handed Down Through Generations of Housewives. When making sweet croquettes add a little sugar to tbe crumbs in which the croquettes are to be rolled. Cold water is preferable to warm for scrubbing doors because it does not sink into the wood and so dries quickly. Holding tomatoes over the gas flame will cause skin to burst and come off easier than when scalded, and the tomato will be less mushy than when scalded. Neglected brass may be polished with a paste of powdered bath brick and oil. Take two pieces of the brick and rub together. This makes a finer powder than if scraped with a knife. Cut hams may be kept from molding if the cut end is wet with vinegar each time after cutting. Vinegar will also keep beef fresh for a time when you happen to be without ice temporarily. To frost over a window without darkening the room, dissolve EpBom salts in hot water and paint over the window while the water is hot, then allow to dry. This is easily removed and is entirely opaque while on. Fringed cloths are often quite ruined in appearance at the laundry. They may be made to look like new for an indefinite period if, when they are starched, a little care be taken not to starch the fringe. Fold each cloth in four like a handkerchief and then gather the fringe of each part into the hand and hold It firmly while you dip the middle only into the starch. When the cloth is dry shake the fringe well and comb it with a specially kept toilet comb, "Stuff and nonsense!" While again and it will fall as softly and again. In listening to the tales of and prettily as when new. the poor and humble, I have maintained a natural behavior only between the two- balancing Inclinations of laughter and tears. Statesmen, savants, ecclesiastics, men of letters, millionaires, clerks, shopmen, mechanics, and laborers—among all of them I have met the originals of Dickens.— Harold Begble, In Century Magazine Worked Hard for Success. Dr. Luther H. Qullck. director of the Hupp and in addition to his interest in the automobile business also takes the liveliest possible interest in agriculture, being owner with his brothers of a 200-acre farm near Birmingham. The Messrs. Hupp make a specialty of dairying and the raising of Berkshire hogs and of Guernsey cattle and for many years have been exhibitors all over the United States at State Fairs, having won a room full of trophies within ten years for both cattle and hogs. The Messrs. Hupp have ranked as state champions in the exhibition of cattle for years and have gained championship honors at all State Fairs throughout the middle west. The interest of Mr. George •C. Hupp is therefore quite natural and that interest will lead him into the channels of education when the boys come to the school and will prove very beneficial to the youngsters in an educational way. The car which is offered to the boy who wins in the essay contest twice is well known the world over and so much In demand that fully 15,000 will be made next year. Mr. Hupp wants to be generous in every way and even though the boy does not win the second year he will still have to his credit the $350 and may purchase the car then or allow the credit to stand still another year and try again. The victory one year will not allow the boy to transfer his equity in the car however to anyone -else. And in addition to the above prizes President Thos, B. Newton of the State Fair has offered $50 in gold and C. A. Tyler, superintendent of Live Stock, whose address is Coldwater, Mich., has offered two pure bred Hampshire lambs. Other prizes will be added from time to time so that tne fortunate boys who win out in the competitive examinations to be held in each county will be able to <jarry home with them if successful at the State Fair, enough live stock and gold to set them up in business and to enable them to grow into successful farmers and owners of live •.stock while still young men. Secretary and Manager J. Ev Hanson, whose idea of a Boys' State Fair School, caused the promoters of other state* fairs to sit up and take notice, has been more than gratified by the reception accorded his splendidly conceived plan, having received words •of encouragement from the school superintendents and school commissioners throughout the entire state of Michigan. The committee in charge of the school, consisting of N. P. Hull, master of the State Grange, Thomas Sattler, commissioner of schools; Frank Coward of Bronson and George Slocum of the Gleaners, have also received word from farmers all through the state commending the Boys' State Fair School and promising donations of seeds and live stock and other Articles as prizes, while manufacture r s of agricultural implements have promised to do their part in aiding along the good cause. So the boys have much to work for In taking their examinations, which will be based upon the Eighth Grade questions as Issued by the school commissioners of the state of Michigan and also upon their fitness to attend the school, the examinations to represent fifty per cent and the fitness of the candidate the other fifty per cent. This com. Mittee will be composed of the Commissioner of Schools, the Master of the State Grange, the President of the* Fanner's Institute and a representative of the Gleaners, in each •oounty who will caU to them .the three leading boys in the .examinations and then select by the examinations the torttwate lad and an alternate who rwill ,make the trip should the winner ee» able to do so. Upon tbe arof the school boys In Detroit rill be met and takes ears of { s Cruel Monarch. At the annual prize-giving at Woodford House School, Croydon, England, Mr. Ian Malcolm, M. P., addressed the girls, and Mrs. Malcolm gave away the prizes. Mr. Malcolm told the girls that.they must be thorough In alt that they did, work with understanding, and not mind asking questions, or they would end by being superficial. To illustrate this, he told the story of a little girl who informed her mother she had been learning about King John. Her mother inquired what sho had learned, and was told that he was a very cruel man, who rode all over the country In motor cars and ran over poople! Her mother was amazed, and inquired what she meant, to which the girl replied: "Well, mother, Miss Jones did say he ground the people down with heavy taxis."

A California judge decided that there Is no Judicial authority to keep a man from making love to his wife, although it could stop his beating her.

Another suggested cause of glacial periods la that they have been due to the shifting of the milky way, such aa is known to have occurred. Assuming' that much of the earth's heat comes from the stars, Dr. Rudolf Spltaier finds that the change of position in relation to the milky way might have given a different distribution of temperature from that existing at the present time. The stars are not only crowded in the region of the milky;' way, but many of them are of the Hottest type. The Largest Bells. "Great Paul," the bell of St. Paul's Cathedral, in London, weighs nearly- 17 tons and is nearly 30 feet around. The first "Big Ben" of Westminster was cast more than 50 years ago and weighed more than 14 tons. But "Big Ben" had a crack and was cast over, losing some weight, and the clapper) was made smaller, now being about 600 pounds instead of a ton. The great bell, "Peter of York," cost $11).- 000, weighs about 13 tons and is 2* feet in diameter. The largest hanging bell in the world Is in the great Buddhist monas^ tery near Canton. It Is 18 feet in! height and 40 feet in circumference,, being cast of solid bronze. This is o n * of the eight monster bells that were} cast by command of Emperor Yung] Lo about A. D. 1400.

PlZfH ItiS BAS Kitchen Line. A convenient clothesline for the kitchen or other place where a clothes drying line is sometimes'needed, is rolled into an oxidized copper reel case about five inches in diameter. This reel screws to a wall or casing and a hook Is put up in a casing on another wall. When the line is wanted it Is stretched across the space between the two and is fastened by a ring over the hook, the reel meanwhile catching it automatically and keeping it from slipping. When the line is not in use it is out of the dust in the reel casing. The line is 24 feet long. It would be a convenience for the kitchen veranda or porch of the summer cottage. Making Nut Muffins.

"My experience Is that the Grape- Nuts food has steadied and strengthened both brain and nerves to a most positive degree. How it does it I cannot say, but I know that after breakfasting on Orape-Nuts food one actually forgets he has a stomach, let alone 'stomaeh trouble.'

Carey, an authority on the constituent elements of the body, says: "The gray matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate (Phosphate of Potash). This salt unites with albumin and by the addition of oxygen creates nerve fluid or the pray matter of the brain. Of course, there is a trace of other salts and other organic matter in nerve fluid, but Potassium Phosphate is the chief factor, and has the power within itself to attract, by its own law of affinity, all things needed to manufacture the elixir of life.**. Further on he says: "The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle, and in molecular form exactly as nature furnishes it in vegetables, fruits and grain. To supply deficiencies—this is the only law of cure/* Brain it made of Phosphate of Potash as the principal Mineral Salt, added to albumin and water. Grape-Nuts contains that element as more than one-half of all its mineral salts. Every day's use of brain wears away a little. Suppose your kind of food does not contain Phosphate of Potash. How are you going to rebuild today the worn-out parts of yesterday) And if you don't, why shouldn't nervous prostration and brain-fag result? Remember, Mind does not work well on a brain that is even partly broken down from lack of nourishment It is true that other food besides Grape-Nuts contains varying quantities of Brain food. Plain wheat and barley do. But in Grape-Nuts there is a certainty. And if the elements demanded by Nature, are eaten, the life forces nave the needed material to build from* A healthy brain is important, if one would "do things** in this world. A man who sneers at "Mind** sneers at the best and least understood part of himsesi That part which some folks believe finks us to the Infinite. Mind asks for a healthy brain upon which to act, and Nature has defined a way to make a healthy • brain and renew it day by day as it is used up from work of the previous day. Nature's way to rebuild is by the use of food which supplies the things* required. ' "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts POSTUM CEREAL COMPANY, LIMITED, BATTLE CREEK.

W h y Nelson Pi • I #Nl»f iNrar/ww Try a Dispatch Liner Adv They Bring Quick Results PATENTS Mpft of Nelson's friend* had been busy conjecturing which would It be Oiill* or Justine. 4No man can like two girls exactly the same.' said Marian SM the girts were discussing the subject ''He may admire one for her looks; another for her cleverness; one may fascinate and oojole him with flattery while another he may care for her candor.' "Nelson is going to take Justine to the danoe tonight," announced Helen, "but probably Orilla had a previous engagement She never wants for admirers." Justine was radiant In her new gown when Nelson called for her. The nappy thought that he had showed her the preference gave her face a softened look of beauty. The ride to the ballroom was a short one. As Nelson helped her out of the carriage she put her hand up to her ear and exclaimed In dismay: "I've lost my earring!" "Are you quite certain you wore it?" "Positive," Justine answered nodding her head emphatically. "It's not likely I'd wear only one." "Don't worry about It. We're late already for the dance, and Its too chilly for you to stay out here while I search for It Let's go in the house and I'll return and see if you dropped It in the carriage." Nelson spent the greater part of the evening hunting for the trinket, but it was not to be found. All bis efforts ware In vain. When he rejoined the merry party Justine was the gayest of all. He commenced to sympathize with her and tried to console her for the loss, but to his great amazement she answered In a j joking tone free from all anxiety, 'Til advertise In the morning and offer a liberal reward.** "Anyway Justine if It wasnt for the earring, I might never have realized what pretty ears you have, and have something important for them to hear on our way home." "As Justine's parlner-came-to claim her dance Nelson soliloquized, "I believe I feel worse about the loss than she does. It was hard to decide whom I cared for the most, each seemed so desirable. Heaven be praised! I know now. Any girl who can loose a gorgeous jewel like that and say she can be just as happy without it, and that Jewels have no great charm for me, and it doesn't pay to worry one's head about an earring when there are so many more Important things to think about. By George! Hew stupid of me not to know sooner It was Justine I loved. Orilla Is forever fretting about infinitesimal microscopic nothings." On their way home Nelson said "my friendship for you has developed into an overpowering love. What would you do If I gave you a kiss?" he asked the girl. 'Td give It back to you," she answered promptly. Nelson and Justine were married a few months later. Before long Nelson could not refrain from noticing how easily provoked and exasperated his young wife could be over the smallest occurrences. The few times Nelson saw Orilla he marvelled how cheerful she looked while his own wife was continually complaining and nothing was good enough, or too good for her and she made such demands upon his time and pocketbook. It seemed inconceivable that she was the same person. When Edith's engagement was announced to the champion football player of the sea* son, Nelson felt a pang of regret when he thought how his judgment and calculations had played him false. "Orilla will make an Ideal wife for a professor," he vouchsafed to his wife. "It's easier to be a professor's wife" she snapped, "than to have to cater to a man who usually is late j for dinner." Nelson took the rebuke in silence and wondering what had happened today that had added two lines to bis wife's face. "You're as changeable as ths moon," complained he. "How easily you are annoyed. You worry thai your maid isn't capable, and yon worry when she threatens to leave. If jwm^ny a blue dress, you're sure it wilt look green In the gaslight and—*-'*' • "Have you finished?** interposed his wife. "With such an unsympathislng husband, It's surprising I havsnt nervous prostration,' she said, wiping the tears from her eyes. "Naturally It doesnt concern you, if I lost the gold hatpin mother brought from So* rope, rm dead tired hunting in every nook and corner for ft. Do I re* eeive gold bat pins every day?" questioned Justine indignantly, "that I can afford to lose one without mentioning i t r "But, my dear," said her husband in a conciliatory tea*, "rev s steal nearly so htiffssjasd sad vex* yo* lest that valuable earrtaf cP cP c - To the other merits of P R I N T Z E S S COATS \ Por Ladies, w e have just added an extremely low price 2 0 Per Cent Discount On Every Remaining Ladies and Misses Cloth and Silk Coats T h i s reduction coming as it does in t h e very height of the season, it is a fine opportunity t o g e t a summer coat at a very low price $10 Coats now 12.50 coats now - 15 coats now 18 coats now In Grays, Tans and Blue Serges This sale is first advertised in Pinckney the same day as in Stockbridge, so that ladies from Pinckney who can come up within a few days after the sale starts, will have the same large selections to pick from as ladies of Stockbridge.

For the flies will come in just as bad through torn screens as if the door stood wide open- When you can boy new, fresh screens as 3beap as we're selling them, why will you put up with the torment and danger of flies pouring through old screens.

The three royal children who accompanied the queen were Prince Gusitav and Princesses Tagmar and Thyra. ;iThey were inconsolable over- the death of their father and insisted that toe private coach in which the coffin :was carried should be strewn with white roses.

Prom Lubec the body was c led Ho Travemunde, which is nine miles north of that city on Neustadt bay. ,There it was taken on board the Dan- _ ish ship Dannebrog^ which, convoyed by a Danish warship, will carry the remains of the late monarch to Copenhagen. The coffin containing the royal body was carried from the Hamburger Hof hotel to the railway station early In ithe day as the train was scheduled to leave at 9 o'clock. The hotel was draped in black and at a very early jhour a crowd of curious had gathered to see the cortege leave for the railway station.

The ftroops carried cased colors of the ^regiment in honor of the dead. The streets were lined with solid masses on duty on examination found chat death had been instantaneous. There was nothing on the body which afforded a clue to its identification and it was placed la the mortuary of the hospital. Find Body in Hospital. It was much later in the evening that the royal suite, which had become anxious owing to the king's absence, heard of the incident that had occurred on the "Goose Market" Aa their inquiries In regard to the king's movements had up to then proved fruitless, they, together with the proprietor of the hotel, proceeded to the hospital to look at the body there, although they did not suspect that It was that of his majesty. On arrival at the hospital they were confronted by the tragic fact that the dead man was the' king. Arrangements were immediately made for the body to be conveyed to the hotel, where it was laid out amid masses ot flowers. Life of Frederick VIII. Frederick VIII. was one of the gentlest and most democratic kings of Europe.

PhyfllaJinr Frederick V i i l . the late^ing Christian IX., sustained his relations with the people in an admirable manner, at once modest and dignified. His long life was without incident, excitement or adventure. His earliest impressions were those of the happy domestic relations of his father and mother, who, from a poverty which had forced that father to spend part of his time as a> teacher of drawing to the children of wealthy people, had been lifted at one stroke to the ancient throne of Denmark. New King Happily Wedded. Christian Charles Frederick Albert Alexander William, the new king of Denmark, has lived a life that baa been notable for Its domestic happiness rather than for any spectacular Incidents. To the public outside of his own country he Is known particularly for his happy marriage with Princess Alexandrlna, the elder daughter of the Grand Duchess Anastasia of Mecklenburgh-Schwerin. It was a pure love match, differing from the union between royal families, which are usually arranged for political expediency. They were wedded at Cannes on April 26. 1S98. and have two sons, Christian Frederick Francis Michael Charles Walderaar George, born March 11, 1899, now the crown prince, and Knut Christian Frederick Michael, born July 27, 1900. The new queen of Denmark Is Just three months younger than her husband, having been born on December 24, 1870. King Christian X. was born at Charlottenlund on September 26, 1870. The present king Is colonel of the One Hundred and Fourth regiment of Prussian Hussars and a knight of many orders, among them the Golden Fleece, the Black Stagfe, the Elephant, the Annunciad, St. Andrew and the Seraphim. | . How Names Are Chosen. The ^epetttIon.of the names Frederlck' antf Cn/t*tian tn the? matftbers of the royal family of Denmark is notable. This repetition is due to a family law which requires that each eon shall bear the name of either Frederick Christian or Christian Frederick. By the same law the monarcha are crowned-a*e*x4lelr as Frederick or Christian. Thus the successor of the present king, whichever of his sons it may be, will ke known as Frederick IX. The name' Knut or "Canute*' reappears frequently also in the royal line of Denmark, being borne. by the younger son of the present king. This is out of respect for the original Xing Canute the Great. Who, besides ineffectually commanding the waters of the ocean to roll back from bis throne, crossed over to England with a hoat gained effective control of that island and was named king there subsequent to the death of Edmund Ironside.

That was all she said at first, her big blue eyes wide distended, her white-gloved wrists curving above the chair-arms as though to rise. Easy to see she was completely floored at seeing me. . . . And as it was her move, I just sat kind of grinning> you know, and holding her tight with my monocle. Th'eri irer mouth twitched a bit; next her head went up and 1 heard again that delicious birdlike carol-of a laugh. Her eyes came to rest upon the hat in my hajid. I had,.slipped my Harvard band around it, remembering the admiration she had expressed for our colors. "Ob:.;; she, said again, and she hesitatingly-.r-'Mr; Jones, Is It oot—or is it—" I chuckled. "Mr. Smith, you know," I said. "Mr. Smith, of coijrse." And then I just went on chuckling, for I thought it so devilish clever of her, so humorous. And just then 1 thought of a dashed good repartee; "Months—*o many' months, you amow, since we met!" And I thought it delightful the way. she puckered her k>v*lyjtt^ forehead and, looked, me over. Bwt she just tooked so devilish enticing, I couldn't keep it up myself. I leaned Qearer a*4 spoke behind ray hat, trying to loo*k the love i felt.

White is ever so much more your style than—than—" By Jove, I swallowed just in time! But it had roused her. I could see her brighten. "Oh'" she said. "Let me see—what is it you remember?" And she kind of buttered, "Perhaps I can tell from that—"' , She paused expectantly. "Oh, I say, you know!" 'An<5. 1 twirled the hat, feeling a bit rattlfd. Why the deuce did she want to rub it in? "But I want you to tell me." Her beautiful eyes were teaBlng. "You k n o w - i t s black." 1 twirled the hat faster. "Black!" She stared, her exquisite lips standing apart like the two petals of a rose. "Why, I never wore black in my life. You know you never saw me in black." I felt hurt. 1 couldn't blame her tor wanting to appear to forget about it, but s t i l l - She roust have seen ray face fall, for I know, by Jove, 1 could just feel it kind of collapse, 1 was that hurt and disappointed-.- Her face softened kindly and 1 took courage, for my devilishly alert mind just then hit upon another explanation. 1 recalled that she had thoughtlessly left the pajamas in my rooms.

But it was the last car, and I blocked the aisle. I didn't realize at the time that I was doing it. It came to me afterward, and was one of the things I kicked myself about for hours, more or less. Just at the ^moment I was so dashed wild about setting myself right with her. The only other thing I had presence of mind to remember was the nearness about us of a lot of beady-eyed cats, and so I drew nearer and lowered my voice so none could hear. For I had another feeling of inspiration as to what really was the matter with her! "Why, Frances—sweetheart," 1 pleaded softly—jiist loud enough for her to hear above the train, "I know you are put out with me because you found me gone the next morning, but honestly, dear, I acted for the b e s t - indeed, I did." And to be on the safe side, I profited by another inspiration: "And, my darling girl, l.'ll never mention the pajamas and the other night—never any more—as long as we live, nor the cigarettes nor cigars nor whisky. Why, I don't care if you—" "Tarrytown—all out for Tarrytown!" came in a high tenor voice from the end of the car, and something bowled down the aisle and brushed me aside. It was the frump. "Come on, Frances!" she exclaimed sharply; "our station." Next instant CAMPAIGN IS HAVING EFFECT Already th© Death Rats From Tuberculosis Is Showing a Gratifying Decrease. In certain cities, such as New York, Boeton, Cleveland and Chicago, and In states like Massachusetts, Rhode Jsland and Connecticut, the decline in the death rate from tuberculosis la more marked than in the country at large, which declined 18.7 per cent In the ten years from 1901 to 1910. The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that there are many factors working together to cause the decline in the tuberculosis death rate, such factors as the change in the character of our urban population, increased sanitation, and better housing, but probably as potent a factor as any has been the nation wide anti-tuberculosis campaign. "It may be foretold with considerable certainty," the association says, "that when the effects of the present rapidly increasing provision for the care of tuberculosis patients shall have become evident, the decline in the death rate from consumption in the coming decade will he even more marked than that In the last one." ONLY ONE OF EACH. they were streaking it for the door, with me a good second, i saw Frances look behind once with—oh, such a^jQoJd___IDfcshed-4f~k-^*rt-*hT4^ me, you know—that sort.

I ka#w Jove, I knew Pugsley was right, and that I had failed to put the ball over! I was not six feet behind as they scrambled through the station to the other side where a large car stood panting. I saw Frances clutch the frump's arm and whisper something, and I heard the frump's reply, for her voice was loud and strongly masculine. "Crazy?" she rasped. "Nonsense! Drunk, more likely. Most of them are half the time." I didn't have time to see what she referred to, for Just then we reached the side of the car, l didn't see a thing of Billings, but tie chauffeur Jumped to the ground and received the ladles and their bags. He seemed to me devilish familiar, too. By Jove, the way he held my darling's hand was the most infernally audacious, outrageous thing I ever beheld! I should have liked to punch his head. He helped them into the tonneau and was so busy with hiB silly Jackass chatter that he closed the door before he turned and saw me. I was just standing there, leaning a little forward with my cane, you know, and fixing my monocle reproachfully on Frances—trying to get her eye. And then, by Jove, I felt a blow on my shoulder that almost bowled me over, for I had my legs crossed, you know. "WTell, I'll be hang—It's Dicky!" And he was grinning at me like a what's-lts-name cat And with the grin I recognized him. It was the fresh young fool who had been so devilish familiar at the pier the morning Frances left. Then he banged me again, dash it, and tried to get my hand, but I put it behind me. But he did get my arm, and he turned toward the car. His voice dropped. "See here, I want you to meet—- Eh?" He broke off, staring at the frump, who was making signs with her eyes, frowning and beckoning him with her green flower-pot. He left me, murmuring something, and stepped to the running-hoard. I could see the flower-pot bobbing about energetically and twice Frances nodded, it seemed to me reluctantly. "Crazy—drunk? Pshaw, you're batty?" be said to the frump rudely. Then I heard another murmur and Ills harsh voice rose again. "Yes— Llghtnut. 1 tell you—Dicky .Llghtnut. Yea—Jack Billings' great friend.

Many [ W years ago we developed the Saginaw Al- ^ Steel Door Frame, adding convenience, solidity and great strength to the entire structure. The same enterprise, together with keen foresight, developed in 1911, the Saginaw Inner Anchoring Hoop ie of the great successes in modern silo construction. And now-1912-with all wondering what possibly could be added to the Sagiaaw Silo, our engineering department has created and proved through eshauetiva tests, a device wonderfully effective and remarkably simple in design and construction, and Mice all great inventions, "It's a wonder it wasn't thought of before." This invention will be known to the world as T h e Saginaw Base A n c h o r . , Uoeosed under Herder Patent No. 6*1782 Like all important Silo improvements you get the Base Anchor only in the Saginaw. We will be glad to tell you more about this wonderful improvement. We have a new book showing dozens of interesting views of our four large plants. This new Book, entitled "The Building of a Silo", also contains very recent and complete information on silage. We have a copy for you. Write for it—or better, come in and get your Book and we'll talk it over. L. H.

Which of the happily ittftrHW 'C**-' pie should be the cook, assuming-that the Income of neither is- « uffiofent t© warrant the hire of such a ifletessarjr ( piece of household furnl^are^' The question has come up bef^iir* ifce Chicago courts and they hat* rait ft^rttb courage, or one of them haft. It seeisi that one Burt Harkin was Charged with disorderly conduct, says the Charleston News and Courier* He had, In fact, been druok,^ This ^e admitted, bt)|4la1med that^ie eircuaaAtaaces were of such an extenuating nature that he ought to be discharged. "For some time," said he, "I've been taking care of our house and cooking meal* for my wife and myself. The -work was uninteresting and it got on my nerves,, ,1 was mighty glad to get a drink anil forget my troubles." Tbe judge loosed wiae. "Discharged," said he laconically. A number of questions naturally arise. But the salient point is the cooking. Is there really any Treason? under the sun, except custom, why the n a n should expect his wife to "fee the cook? It Is not recorded that Ere dressed the beef, but we do *n#w that Adam roasted her Just after the exodus from the Garden of Eden Here 'was a man who plainly did not go out and work for an income. Why ehould he loaf about the house while Ills wife attempted to economise on gas? To be sure he got tired of it, but probably she was just as tired. tWe really fear that the judge has set a bad precedent. Suppose tbe women take It into their heads that they have * right to get intoxicated just because they get tired of frying codfish.

Nevertheless there are complaints that the wireless messages from the Titanic -were "taken" with difficulty, because of Interference, in Europe at well as In the United Btales there will be legislation to put down what the London Times calls "these freaks of private vanity or levity or ostentation." !r -—- "In Paris, the pdlice dogs have now been given official rank and attack on one of them is classed as reslstante to lawfully constituted authority. The situation has its element of humor, but as a matter of fact, their protection as regular members of the police, has been found necessary to save them from the lawless gangs whom they berp the police in restraining. Still, the spectacle of a man arrested on the charge of resisting a police dog in tbe discharge of his duty is novel and odd enough to have its ludicrous side. For a wager a Cincinnati man ate 30 dozen of bananas in 30 days, drank five glasses of beer and several large' portions of whisky each night of the test, and finished off with five dozen hard-boiled eggs and two dozen raw oysters.

Today t h e population i:i less than. Ave hundred thousand, anil the determination of the representative men of the Province to devote their best energies to increasing this to a mil-* lion is a worthy one. There is alread/ a widespread interest in every municipality; committees are appointed,. whose 4ut*e* are* to secure ifuch ' a thorough knowledge of local'"conditions that, whether the-applicant for information be,» laborer for the farm, a would-be tenant, a probable homesteader, the buyer of a small improved farm or the. purchaser of a Jartfa Jjact for colonizing farmers, the information is at hand, free. The advantages that. Manitoba possesses are many, aud .with the exploitation that will be given them by the birth of this new acquisition tothe settlement and immigration propaganda that is being carried on by the Dominion Government, there is nodoubt that the establishment of the bureau will very soon bring about the results looked for. Manitoba is practically the gateway of the great grain belt of the West. Its farm lands have demonstrated time and again that they have a yielding value that practically makes them worth over one hundred dollars per acre. Added to the yielding value of the land, there is an increased value on account of its nearness to markets, and the matter of freight rates is carefully considered by the cautious buyer. But the information more valuable to the incoming settler is that it still has an immense amount of vacant fertile land open for homesteads. This dispels the idea that free homesteads In Manitoba are abou^ exhausted. In addition to this, the territory recently added to the Province will open up a homesteading area which when filled should fully satisfy the "Million for Manitoba League." Within the old boundaries there is an area of 47,360,- 000 acres, less than six million acres, of the 16½ million acres occupied being under cultivation. At present there are over 20 million acres of available land capable of being put under the plough. If in every one of the 195,000 vacant quarter sections of the Province as average family of four persons Were" pla"ced, Therer'IvouTd'W^aiIo^eo!~i ~ rural population of nearly 800,000. So there is room for additional hundreds of thousands on the farms of Manitoba, without any possibility of congestion. The population per mile in Iowa is 39.4, In Minnesota it is 23.5. That in Manitoba Is only 7.1. A glance at the map, copies of which will be forwarded upon application to any Canadian Government Agent, shews that Manitoba is wonderfully well supplied with railways. There are but few farms that are more than ten or twelve miles from a railway line: elevators are convenient, and markets are always good. The growing of grain, while a big feature in the inducements held out, is well reenforced by the great possibilities that exist in all portions of the Province, for the raising of stock, for dairying, for hogs, and for a successful class of mixed farming, find what gives additional interest is the fact that there is so much land in the Province open for free homesteadlng that improved farms in almost all of the, 98 municipalities can be purchased at very low figures. Many of the owners of these have made sufficient upon which to retire and are becoming residents of the cities. In addition to the export market for the produce of the farm, Manitoba has a number of large.cities arid towns providing.a splendid local market. Truck and garden farming are highly profitable branches. Winnipeg is a city bordering on 200,000. Brandon IB a splendid centre, Portage la Prairie is the hub of an excellent district, and YoTkton, Minnedosa, Dauphin, Morden, Manitou and a dozen other towns are important help as consumers.

ENJOYED BY SOCIETY FOLK iQshatef of the Lower House at These Times IspeeJally Aro Likely To t o Vrtrlelle—One Closing Night of Sons. • y GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.^-In the desire to adjourn, eongress probably will begin holding night sessions soon;, in fact, tbey may bo the order at any minute. When night Besaionft are going on the capitol is a picturesque and lhrely place. From without the great building it looks like what in a sense it really is, an Illuminated palace of white, the thousands of lights showing through hundreds and it may be thousands of windows. Washington society takes advantage of night sessions of congress for an opportunity to viBit the capitol. Society in the main is not great on early day outings and it is only occasionally, when drawn by some big event, that the Bocial leaders go to Capitol Hill even in the late afternoon. The novelty of a night session attracts not only society, so-called, but the thousands of visitoru in Washington and other thousands of residents who, working «11 day, get little opportunity to see the law makers at their labor in the daylight hours. The galleries at their night sessions almost always are crowded. Debates Livelier at Night. Night sessions, especially when the day sessions have begun at 11 o'clock, seem to get on the nerves of the mem* bers of both houses and one Is much more apt to hear a 'vitriolic debate and to witness the losing of tempers at night than he is In the daytime. The night before the day of adjournment is always a gala time in the low* er house. As a rule then the house is through with its business for the session and is simply waiting on the senate to catch up. The senators work away fheTaStnTgWYajraTr^nairiheyhave worked at any other night of the session, while the house members frequently give themselves over to play. It is rather sad to relate, but occasionally the play in the house becomes something more serious than play. If the day has been long and hot and the debates have been sharp and bitter, and especially if politics has been touched upon,/ the members are led from play to something more serious and while names need not be mentioned, there have been one or two occasions when the last night of the session of the house has developed healthy rows. One Famous Closing Night. It Is probable that the most picturesque of night sessions of congress in many years was that which wound up the long session of the year 1904. The adjournment was well along into the early summer. Congress was tired and.wanted to get away; the house had ended its work completely except for the mere details of closing and the members gave themselves over to frolicking. On that night the^scene of which likely Is to be reproduced this year every representative in the chamber was given an American flag and with it there was handed to him a «ong book. The night was spent in flag waving, in singing and in telling Btories. West Point Frolics. MaJ. Gen. Thomas Barry, is the superintendent of the United States Military Academy. If the war department were to believe all the reports that come in, General Barry is having a hard time of it in enforcing discipline.

The class of 1880 wanted in some way to mark the Incoming of the year of their graduation. So its members resolved to have a celebration at the stroke of twelve at midnight of the New Year, January 1, 18*0. Now this affair at the academy, Instead of being a mere matter of taking a cannon on the roof and firing it off, was really a terrific outbreak of noise, confusion and regulation breaking. Some members of the corps had been given a Christmas leave of three days, and on their return from New York they brought to the academy a large quantity of fireworks, which they hid In a convenient place after they landed at the dock. Later these fireworks were transferred to barracks and hid la mattresses and from that time until the night of December 31, the eve of New Year, a great many cadets slept on veritable mines. Fired Off All the Guns. A detachment of cadets tolled off for the purpose went down to the river early on the night of December 31 and loaded all the seacoast guns, the siege battery gun, and old smooth-bore guns of Battery Knox. At ten minutes before midnight 20 cadets left barracks and made their way to the river batteries. At the stroke of 12 they began pulling the lanyard and it was "roar and boom and tear" from every gun along the plateau's front. The echoes were awakened far up the Hudson to New berg and down to Sing Sing. It sounded as if the post were under bombardment, and in a twinkling the whole post was up, officers running here and there in half waked condition, not, knowing Just what had happened. Across the parade ground came the veteran General Schofield in his uniform, but with something white showing which proved that he had not completely tucked in his clothes in his hurry to get dressed. Simultaneously with the bombardment every window in barracks) was opened and forth came fiery sky rockets, roman candles and all the other similar devices known to the ingenuity of man. In addition to this 75 members of the plebe class had devil's fiddles which had been manufactured under cover. Round shot were rofiean!bwn~TheTron-D~6uh^ the uproar and the firing and confusion were, in modern slang, "something fierce." The whole corps was put under arrest n d later every man had all his privileges taken away from him, and they were kept away for five months. English Sparrow as Food. One of the expert biologists of the department of agriculture, Mr. Ned Dearborn, says that the English sparrow is a pest, a thing which hardly needed repetition, and that one way to get rid of them is to eat them. Mr. Dearborn has issued a bulletin telling how to trap English sparrows, how to shoot them and how to cook and eat them. He lays that sparrows as food compare favorably with the best kinds of smaller game. Years ago some one tried to induce the people of the congested districts in the cities to eat English sparrows. One can learn from the agricultural department If the members should choose to write about it or tell about It that there are scores of animalB in the United States which no one thinka of eating and yet which are perfectly delicious food when properly cooked. Can anyone Imagine a man eating a, skunk? And yet a skunk properly prepared Is by no means to be despised. It Is said that the edibility of the skunk was learned by an experimenter who noticed that great horned owls were very fond of skunks and that they would catch them, kill them and eat them In preference to rabbit. So one experimenter tried the skunk and found that the meat was better than that of the rabbit. A great many people know .that the muskrat is good eating. The govern* raent's scientists found this out a long time ago and they hare written bulletins about the muskrat as food. It has been found that the name rat destroys people's appetites for this creature. In the markets of Baltimore and occasionally in Washington muskrats aro sold in largo quantities, but are they called muskrats? No, they are called marsh rabbits. Snakes Good to Eat. Some men squirm at the thought of eating eels, while others eat them and consider them the best of fish. If an eel, why not a snake? Down id the south west ' rattlesnakes have bean eaten frequently with no bad results. Ths flesh of the rattler is said to be white and of good flavor. An army officer who was also a great ornithologist, Captain Bendire, once waa given aome rattlesnake, to eat He did not know what ft was but pronounced it mighty good. Later he was told what he had eaten and although in his tramping afield he had been compelled many a time to oat all kinds of things, the thought that he had oaten a snake was too much for him and nature revolting, he parted with his breakfast.

By all means keep your ewes healthy and vigorous, for upon a healthy, thrifty condition of ewes depends your success. The healthy ewe Is able to live on rougher forage than your other farm stock, but it is with sheep as with all else. You must give them some attention if you expect profit. Men, who every season make money from their lambs, find that if they feed An Ideal Flock Header. them better for several weeks and flush the ewe stock each fall, that* Is, before going to the buck, there are more twins and more milk at lambing time. Many of the troubles with weak lambs and empty udders would be avoided if your ewes were fatter when brought in for the winter. Try the plan of flushing your ewes, then follow with good pasture and you will see from results that the plan makes moat profits. Have a dry, wellsheltered roomy yard, with deep shed for the ewes. If you have neighbors with dogs, have a tight, stout woven wire fence with board at top and bottom around" t be ~ sheep "toidf'j—Keep the sheep in this yard at night—this will save your sheep, as well as your temper. HANDY DOOR FOR HOG HOUSE Practical Arrangement of Passage Way to Keep Larger Animals in and Little Fellows Out. A simple method of arranging a door for the hog house is given In the Practical Farmer. The illustration gives a good Idea of its construction. Use 2x4s, putting raw sides toward the door. In the 2x4s bore a few Door for Hog House. holes, inch or larger. In these put an iron rod, or a fork handle to hold up so pigs can walk under and hogs cannot. The rod will hold up door and prevent sow from lifting door. Nail boards on each side of 2x4s to slide door in. SHOULD NOT NEGLECT COLT if Youngster Is Properly Handled From Beginning It Will Not Give Much Trouble. The farmer owning 40 acres or more of land, who does not raise at least one colt every year, is not doing his best. The mare will do most kinds of farm work and raise her colt without much loss of time. If the colt is properly handled from the beginning it will not give much trouble. Never allow it to run after its mother when she is working. This worries and frets the mare, and it wears out the colt. Keep it at the barn, loose hi a box stall, end tempt it with a little clover hay and oats. Early colts will be weaned pret* y toon now. If they have been brought up to this point right, weaning does not mean much. Feed more requently with sweet clover hay, oats and corn, and the colt will noon be able to take care of itself. Keep- It in the barn at night and allow it to run with other young stock in the pasture during the day. Feeding Hogs* It is best never to feed hogs on the ground. It is no mors natural for a hog to pick his feed up out of the dirt and mud than for any other animal to do so, although circumstances have in •many eases forced him to do so. Have floors on which to food bogs, and not oolywill you save0 feed br using? them, but ihey will a p p e l a t e tfrflr rations much more.

FATTENING VALUE OF PEAS For Use With Cattle Crop Probably is Unexcelled—Make Good Food for Horses at Work. (By PRO*'. THOMAS N. SHAW.) There is no kind of live stock on the farm to which peas cannot be fed with positive advantage when tbey are to be had at prices not too high. They are not commonly fed to horses, since they can seldom be spared for such a use, but they make a good food for horses at work, and for colts during the period of development, if given as a part or the grain food. As a food for fattening cattle, peas are probably unexcelled. Much of the success which Canadian feeders have achieved In preparing cattle for the block has risen from the free use of peas in the diet. During the first part of the finishing period they will be found peculiarly helpful in making beef, owing to their relative richness in protein, but they are also a satisfactory food at any stage of the fattening process. During the first half of the finishing period peas will be found superior to corn, but toward the close of the same, corn could probably be fed with greater relative advantage. Peas with oats or bran make an excellent grain food for cattle that are being fattened. Speaking in a gen* eral way, peas should form about onethird, by weight, of the meal fed, but, as every feeder knowB, the relative proportions of meal used should vary somewhat as the season of fattening progresses.' MAKES SLOPPING HOGS EASY Pen so Arranged That Animals Cannot Get at Trough While It Is Being Filled or Cleaned. I have a hog pen with trough so located that the hogs cannot get at it while It ia being filled. To make such a pen take corner posts of 2x4 and nail on lengths of 1x4 or 1x6 for sides and For Feeding Hogs. ends, writes N. 3. Widders in the Missouri Valley Farmer. Make the ususl V trough and nail securely to the bottom board at one end of pen. Instead of boarding up the pen tight at the trough end leave an open space the length of trough, with a board across top and bottom, then make a gate and hinge to the top board on. the inside. Take a short length of stout wood for a latch and bolt to the second board of gate, with one bolt. When you want to fill the trough turn the latch until it misses the trough, push the gate in till latch is beyond trough, then tum latch to upright position again. The hogs cannot bother you while tyu are cleaning the trough or pouring in the feed. • hog Btraply will not be responsible for poor fences. There is no better place to raise pigs than in a good pasture. Even the hogs like a variety of feed and will do better if they can get it. There is no animal that responds so quickly to good feed and treatment as the pig. How much per bushel can be made from wheat by feeding to hogs? In what way should it be fed? Almost every wrong act of the horse is caused by fear, excitement or mismanagement, said a great horseman. The individuality of each horse should be studied, and the feeds sup* piled to meet individual requirements. Feed roughage to the stock before giving them grain, as it invigorates and excites the digestive apparatus to action. The pure-bred sire and a dam of the same type of as good blood ss It is possible to get will usually bring a desirable colt. Be sure to have some disinfectant .to use on the young: colt's navel when he arrives. A half minute at this time may save the colt later. In eight years ottt of ten the hog feeder will make money, in one year he will lose and in one break oven. This Is the year of the even break. Twenty acres of corn put into a silo is said to be worth more than SO acres pat in the crib. This Is quite an item, especially when food 1» so high. N-? Begin to break the colt early if yon would'have aa easy time with the work aad a well.broken horse. A two* yeer-otd is easier to -break than a fcwr-y«e>o!u\ Whoa purebred swine are kept for breeding purposes they should be givoh every opportunity for hone an* muacto development, rather than th< afoduotloa ot fat. f iVTUaXJR P .

Swarthout hurried to the rescue but before he could put on the brakes Brighton got a couple more mak; ing the count 12 to 8 in favor cf Brighton. Before the game,ground rules were made by the two teams giving the base runner one base on a passed ball if he could get it, this rule was also to do away with the blocked ball. In the 8th a passed ball hit a spectator bounded back and a Brighton base coming in from third was touched out making the third out. The man was called out, the Brighton team refushed to allow the decision to stand and appealed to their umpire who referred the ground rule question to the Brighton captain who disclaimed all knowledge of any and, after a long argument, the Pinckney team left the field and the Brighton umpire declared the game forfeited. Brighton is booked to play here this week Saturday and the boys say that they will surely defeat them. But they intend to give them a square deal as they are confident of winning on their merits alone. PINCKNEY AB R H H. Swarthout,c and p.2 4 Kennedy, l b , 5 2 R.

That it is economical in the use of ice. That it is hygenic—easy to clean *nd keep clean. You will find all these properties in the refrigerators we sell. They are the very best on the market.

The reports include "specific information as to whether shop keepers in small tAwns claim that the parcels post militates against them and in favor of the large department or city store." Tne reports disclose hostility to the parcels post on the part of country merchants in only one c o u n t r y - Peru. In a great majority of cas^ reports say the country retajiarfybenefited. English country retatfers some years ago pro when it was proposed thai postoffice do a "eol^^bn-delivery" business—transporting the parcel and collecting the bill for it; but the bald statement sometimes heaid that parcels post has vastly injured country retailers in fiiigland and Germany is unsuppo by evidence.

COONS, Roaamrch Assistant in tHant Pathology, Mrtbfcul Asjricahural College Apple Scab, Advanced Stags. 1 Apple scab 1B a disease found on all .varieties of apples, which is caused 3>y •% parasitic fungus. A parasitic 'fungus is a plant which lives on another plant, taking its food from the ihosL Fungi are not able to make <their own food as the ordinary green plants can, but live entirely on food prepared by others. Some fungi are found only oh dead material. These are useful in nature In decomposition processes. Other fungi, such as apote •cab, are parasitic, attacking living 'Plants and producing serious disturbances in the host. Fungi are spread ,by means of small fruiting bodies ^c&Ilea? sporeeJ These serve the same purposes as seeds of other plants, but spores are a great deal smaller and ijnuch more simple than seeds, The symptoms of apple scab are shown fairly well in the accompanying c u t This, however, shows the effect *only on the fruit and many fruit growers believe that apple scab occurs only on the fruit. It Is true that It is most conspicuous here and for a ^given year produces loss on that part of the plant. Apple scab, however, is also found upon the leaves, and here great damage, although for the larger )>art unnoticed—is done, if you will examine carefully the leaves of the ^trees that have not been sprayed, you •will find that the leaves are blotched ^ t h sooty, velvety spots both on the topper and lower surface. „ Sometimes tthese blotches are extensive enough t o cause the curling of the leaves alnce the scab fungus kills the tissue a t that point and the growth of the leaf causes the blade to curl around the dead spots. Very frequently duri n g the rainy season apple scab is so •evere on the leaves as to cause conv plete defoliation. It is under such iconditions as this that heavy loss occurs and a great drain on the vitality sists In covering the part to be protected with a solution poisonous to the fungus Bports. On leaves and fruit protected in such a manner, the fungus spores are either killed directly, or, if they do germinate, the tender germ sprouts are killed and entrance to the times is thus prevented. This point explains a great deal about spraying, it explains why frequent sprayings throughout the growing season are J"eQUire<j[ since the leaves expand and put out hew growth and the fruits also increase in size and frequent sprayings keep all the new and tender growth covered. This principle also explains why so much empnasis is put on thorough spraying—spraying with a mist and not with spattering drops, since the pores are small and a very small amount of the chemical is needed at one place, but a great area must be covered. Farmers can follow no better rule than that given in the spraying bulletin recently published by the college, which reads as follows: Just before the buds open, if the scale be present, spray with strong lime-sulphur. Just before the blossoms open, or when they are "In the pink," a spraying must be made to prevent scab and other fungus diseases. Use dilute lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture. After the blossoms fall and the stamens wither and before the calyx closes, another spraying must be made Just like the one before. About two weeks later, after the above spraying, make another. Use Bame mixture and poison as in previous spraying. Late in July or early in August there will be a second generation of codling moths. Copies of the bulletin wfTI be sent to anyone who writes for it. This bulletin also tells how to make the different sprays which are in use.

ANTS AID CORN-ROOT LOUSE Little Brown Insects Care for lt> jurious Aphis Because of U k l n g for "Honey Dew." PRETTY FLOWERS IN GARDEN (By R. L. you notice WEBSTER.) If you notice your corn plants dwarfing in patches over the field and the leaves of such plants turning yellow or a reddish color, look carefully around the base of the stalks for ant hills. If numerous ant hills are found, you may conclude that the corn-root louse is sucking the Juice from" the corn roots, weakening the stalks and consequently reducing the yield.

Brush brsmcaes eult them better than anything else, but these are sot always easy to g e t A. good substitute for brush Is very coarse meshed wire netting. As soon as the plants begin to bloom begin to cut from them. The more blossoms you cut off the more you will have. If care is taken to remove the blossoms as soon as they begin to fade, the plants will continue to bloom until frost comes; but if seed is allowed to ripen, you will have but few flowers during the latter part of the season. In cutting sweet peas give the flowers as long stems as possible. Never crowd them in vase or bowl. JuBt bunch them loosely in the hand, and then drop them into whatever is to hold them, give it a shape, and lo, your flowers will have arranged themselves to perfection. No garden Bhould be without some sweet pea vines. The great beauty and fragrance of the blossoms make them one of the most popular of flowers. POSTS KEPT FROM SPREADING Cumbersome Braces Done Away With by Connecting Rod Placed Beneath Surface of Earth. l A f f t r i e Scab, Early Stage on Fruit. of tke frult-produclng power takes ptaee. Bines the great part of the dry matter that goes to make up the fruit of the apple is manufactured from-, carbon dioxide of the air and water, by the leaves, anything which interferes with the proper working of the leaves endangers the fruit crop of •the following year. Therefore, an attack of scab not only produces unsaleable fruit during the year of the attack,' but It weakens the tree and cuts down the crop the next year. Apple scab lives over winter on the old fruits and the leaves, very largely, and it is probable that from this source, the spring attacks of the disease start. Whenever a spore which has ttved over winter is blown upon the leaf, blossom or a young ftalt, and is given the right conditions for germination, it is able to produce * tcan spot.

For this reason the root lice are very well cared for by the ants, and especially by one kind of ant known as the "little brown ant" In the fall the ants take the eggs of the root aphis down Into their nests and keep them there throughout the winter. The next spring, when the egsg hatch, the ants place the young root lice on the roots of the common smartweed, or some other common weed, where the lice begin to feed. Later oa, if the ground be planted to corn, the ants transfer the root lice from the weeds to the corn roots. So the ants care for the root aphis* and in order to fight the root aphis the farmer must fight the little hewwu int.

Consev quently the ants cannot give the Hose the proper care. The burrows of these ants do not often reach to a depth of more than six inches. If the ground! Is stirred at that depth, the attempts of the susts to recover their property and reconstruct their nests are ren»- dered largely fruitless. ie*elat I t« to rffepakrv.

S H A W , Director Mlcbia-aa Experiment Statio*. The past winter has witnessed a shortage of hay with market prices at an exceedingly high level and the prospects for a large crop during the present season are not good. Because of the unusual severity of the drouth one year ago catches of grass aad clover seed either failed or suffered more or less injury. During the wh> ter just passed new meadows were injured more or less in many localities. In addition to this the total area seeded has been reduced somewhat because of the high prices of grass and clover seeds. The probable hay shortage during the present season creates a serious situation confronting the Michigan farmer who keeps live stock. This shortage can be overcome in part by growing more corn. We do not believe the area of corn grown in hills for husking or for the silo should be J reduced hut more fodder corn should be grown. This class of corn does not rush the work of the ordinary corn planting season for it can be sown later In the season any time from May 24th to June 15th, depending on the location, kind of soil and character of the season. Corn of this kind should not be grown for the purpose of husking but'rather for feeding in the bundle or shredded form. An endeavor should be made to produce In the crop not less than 50 per cent, of a normal yield of ears. Even more than this would be desirable for many kinds of live stock to which it might be fed. It is of course desirable in order to get a good crop of fodder corn that it be planted on a fairly rich well prepared soil. It can be drilled in rows about three feet apart with the stalks twelve inches apart in the row. These distances should of course be varied somewhat to meet the particular needs. Corn thus grown can be. fed during the winter from the Bhock or stack and is well suited to the needs of horses, cattle and sheep when forming a part of the ration only, being supplemented by some leguminous roughage, concentrates or succulence according toHhe kind and condition of the animal and the purpose for which It is being fed. It is only when corn fodder or corn stalks only, with or without the addition of straw, forms the exclusive diet throughout long periods of time that unsatisfactory results arise. Under the present conditions we cannot urge Michigan farmers too strongly to grow moro fodder corn this season in order to cope with the scarcity and high prices of feed which are likely to continue throughout the coming winter.

FK3HT LITTLE MELON APHIS i t * Way to Flflfrt Psst Is to Burn Vines Where They Are for Cucumbers. BFeibni growers around Rocky Ford, (Colbi, where cantefoopes are grown extenstaefF, find that the best wty to fight marie* aphis in to burn the infested: vines Inst wHtoeve they are. At least every' ether day they get over their patch of vinea and look for the very dark green water and swollen, watery appearance of the leaves of the plana*.

Of course, the same treatment is recomr mended! for encumbers. Catalpa Pence Posts. Catalpa specloaa is a good tresv It makes a post sometimes in eight y e a n , sometimes in ten. We have so many better trees, however, that we don't have to fall back on the catnips, says a writer in the Ohio Farmer. I have tried a little catalpa to see what it would do. In some sections we have chosen the white oak. In South Georgia we have an excellent post, when we can get it, of long leaf pine. Where we cannot get that, we have the loblolly pine, and the short leaf pine can be used if we treat it with creosote to the amount of 15 cents a post, and it will last 15 to 80 years. / •scttrts for Alfalfa Sell.

It is believed that Fisher sat on the railroad track, waiting for the train to strike him, although there is no reason known why the old man desired to die. The engineer of the South Haven freight traln^that hit Fisher did not see the man on the track until he was within 150 feet of him.

I exclaimed excitedly. "Here's something Inside the collar—some sort of jolly writing!" "What's that?" said Billings sharply. He jerked the garment Irom my hand and held it in the light. All round the circle within the collar band ran four or live darker red lines or queer little crisscross characters. "Chinese laundry marks, you idiot," he commented carelessly. And then he ducked bis head closer with a quick Intake of breath. "By George, Dicky!" he cried, his voice tremulous with some excitement. "Can't be' that either; it's woven in—awfully fine, neat Job, too. Now, what do you suppose—" He broke off wonderlngly. I Swung to catch my darling's eye at last Just as, they curved. And, by Jove, Bhe looked amused—and pleased. As for the frump, she frankly and harshly laughed, and then moved up a speed, just as a south-bound express took the station. And I swung aboard it, back for little old New York. Didn't see what the chauffeur did. Wasn't Interested, you know, about that. CHAPTER XV. Billings' Symptoms Alarm Me. "Most infernal outrage of the century, I tell you!" Billings stormed. For an hour I had sat there in my rooms, limp and bewildered under the tempest of his wrath, The wild and incoherent sputter over the 'phone that Jenkins reported upon my return had sent me on a hunt for my friend. I bad found him sullenly dining alone over at the club, and as soon as 1 entered he started to bolt from the room. Only through the greatest pleading had I managed to coax him back to ray chambers, hoping I might screw out of him some explanation. I had received it, by Jove! Of course, I recognized it all as impossible and crazy, you know, but when I said so to Billings his remarks were so violent, and he turned such a dangerous apoplectic purple, dashed if I didn't renege. "But then the old man, you know!" I protested weakly. Billings leveled his big arm at me, mouthing wordlessly for a minute. "That—that'll do, about that old man!" he choked at last "Not—not another word about him!" And finally he collapsed into his seat from sheer exhaustion. Just sat there panting and glaring at me like a jolly bulldog. Gradually he became calmer. "Tell you what: the only thing that lets you out, Dicky, is the way Van Dyne and Blakesley did, in turn, when I got them there." He spoke savagely, but I brightened a little. "Oh!" I said. "Didn't they recognize you, either?" Billings' snort made me Jump. "Recognise!" be bellowed. "They went back, mad as hell!" "By Jove!" I said soothingly. "That'e not all," continued BlUlngs grimly. "I was so sure It was a putup Job, some asinine, fool joke, I wrote a cautious note to the governor. After a lot of pleading, I got the fools to send it. He came." Billings paused dramatically. "Oh, yea, he came!" he went on, fixing me with an excited eye. *>and when I staggered forward and-dtd the prodigal son aet on hie neck, he handed me a punch that Jolted oil hie silk tile. Went straight up In the air with the whole bunch down there and contracted to do things for them that will keep them active for a year. Threatened to have me seat up for forgery —this Is my own father now, mind you—forgery of my own name! Hah!" BlUlngs strode to the and of the room and back. Then he ant down again, beating with his foot upon the floor. "They were pretty nasty after that," Billings went on gloomily; "and they wouldn't aend for any ooe else. Just \ had to alt there In-that .Infernal baatile with nothing on but pajamas and a pair of MgjsjtM slippers. Every one* to a wkg^jsajgebody would oome) Aboard. and address me as 'Foxy,' and want me to send for my clothes or else Bend out and buy some. Finally, a big brute came and threw me some dirty rags and said I'd have to put on those or else buy some others. "And I had just got into the togs and stuffed the rubles and pajamas out of sight in my pocket, when the particular brigand who had charge, of my coop came back. He almost threw a fit when he saw me. 'Where's Twenty- seven?' he wanted to know. And then, before I could say a word, he blustered up to me with: 'And say, what business you got in here? Clear out!' And you bet I didn't lose a single golden minute—I cleared. You should have seen me beat it down that corridor! The fellow followed me a little, grumbling to himself: Then he called to a cop who was Just coming in: Say, O'Keefe, run that young fat freak out of here, will you? It's one of that bunch of visitors that went through just now. Fresh thing— snooping into tne ceils!' "And so the same cop that brought me there—the very same—was the one that shoved me out of the door, warning me that I'd best not go poking Into the prisoners' cells again if I knew what was good for me!" "By the way, old chap," puffed Billings, his poise and good humor improving under the spell of a cigar, "I -was sorry to return the pajamas torn and dusty and wrinkled as they were. But you see, on account of the rubles* I was leary about having them pressed or fussed over. So I wrapped and sealed them myself, Just as one does a Jewel package. (Jot them, did you?" I stared at Billings through my glass.. "Didn't you get them?" be questioned in alarm. "Yes, yes—it's ail right, old chap," I said hastily and as pleasantly as 1 could. "Eugene delivered the box to Jenkins and I opened it myself. Thought It was—h'm—thought it waa something else." Then I proceeded soothingly: "But you're just a lrttle mistaken about the dust and wrinkles, old chap—and about them being torn. Ha, ha! Good Joke!" But Billings' fnce was unresponsive. "Why, old goop," he said with cheertul contempt, "there's a triangular tear in the back of the coat you could stick your head through; and one or the sleeves Is in ribbons." I just opened the drawer of the table and took out the box—glove box, 1 think It waa—containing the pajamas. I had read something somewhere about tbe clearing effect—the reaction, and that sort of thing, produced sometimes by a shock. "See for yourself, old chap," I said gently. And I lifted out the gossamer fabrics and again spread their ertm* son glory under the famp. Billings examined them eagerly, but just looked eonfounded. "Dont understand it," he said, biting bis nails. "Why, hang it, they look smooth, too, aa though never worn. And the rubles are ail right, too." He rested his chin upon hts hands and gloomed at the red eweep. I caught a few sentences of his mumbling. "By Oeorge, Vp. half a mind to think thent's something in tbe pajamas," he muttered—"something uncanny and disagreeable- something they're alive with!" I sprang up aad back, overturning my chair. CHAPTER XVI. •v#r* An Inscription and a Mystery. Billings rubbed his chin perplexedly. "By Jigger, now, I wonder what those hen tracks mean?" he uttered musingly. Then he looked up at me with sudden animation in his face. "Look here, Dicky," he exclaimed, "do you happen to know Doozenberry?" I tried to remember. I shut one eye and studied the marks closely through my glass, but had to shake my head at last. "Why, man, he's a member of all the great societies of the world. Got a etr4ng of-retters after-irtaname Hke a universal keyboard, and is tbe main squeeze, the great scream, among all the scientific push over here and in Europe. Lots of dough, but off his trolley with learning." "And In this building?" 1 said wonderlngly. "What's he like?" "Awfully large head," said Billings, elevating his hands some two feet apart, "pear-shaped affair—big end up- bump* on it like halves of grape fruit, porcupine eyebrows, and—" "Oh, I know," 1 said, nodding eagerly; "and a little, shriveled—well, kind of mashed sort of face, eyes beadlike and jolly small. I've got him now! I've gone down with him in the elevator." Billings nodded. "You've got him painted," he said drily. "That's tbe professor; only, his eyes are anything but Jolly.' I've ridden In the elevator with him myself. Always manages to look like he was traveling with a bad smell!" "Devilish sensitive, I dare say." Billings looked at me auspiciously, but | had got hold of the thing I was trying to recollect and I went on quickly: "By Jove, you know, I believe Jenkins knows his man—fellow who butlers, and, I believe, cooks, for htm. He and Jenkins belong to the same— how do they call it?—same club of gentlemen's gentlemen." Billings brought his fist down. "Let's have Jenkins in," he suggested. And we did. "I say, Jenkins," I began, "this Professor Doodlebug above us—" "Doozenberry!" BlUlngs sharply corrected. "Well, some Jolly rum thing about him, don't you know, Jenkins—something you said his man told you—remember, eh?" "Why, sir, he told me that every night he had to turn down the perfesser's bed and go all over It with a two-gallon watering can—" "Watering can!" gasped Billings. . "I'm telling you what be says, sir. Then he covers It all up again, and m about a half-hour the perfeaser turns the covers down; and If it's what he calls 'fine—that is, damp all over—he climbs In and sleeps like a top." "Cold-water bug, you know," I explained, but Billings shrugged hie shoulders. 'That's all right. Bug or not, be'a the goods, all the same. Greatest ever." He spoke with quiet conviction. He deliberated a moment and turned to me. "Tell you what, Dicky: I'm going up and aak him down. He's the one to give us the right dope on these crasy letters—Eh, what you say, Jenkins?" "Beg pardon, sir; I was saying that the perfeaser don't visit nobody; and be never sees nobody but the big lit'ry and scientific sharps." "Oh, he don't, eh?" BlUlngs snorted contemptuously. "Well, Jenkins, I havent been n prize fisherman in my time for nothing; > guess I know how to select my *fly.' I know what will fetch him: 'Mr. Ligntnut't compliment*, and will be be pleaded to honor him by paaslng upon an Oriental curio of rare scientific lnteteat?*—- that eort of merry rot! Why, you couldn't bold him back with a block and tackle. Oh, you needn't worry; rll do the proper curves all right" He turned toward the door.

CAV1CRLY, Pub. {PiNCKNEY. ,T - - MICHIGAN EpUCATE AGAINST SELFISHNESS. Recently addressing a body of New BagUnd students, Richard Olney, secretary. «f state under President Cleveland, urged them to tbe duty of BUDordinattftg Interests of their respective future crafts to the highest claims of citiaenship. Which is only another way of saying, that in educating our young people we should teach them first the art of living, and second, whatever art by which they are to live; that is, that living comes before getting a livelihood. Tbe claims of citizenship a*e above those of any trade or profession. Our schools that go in for the vocational training, eminently good in Itself, need to look out lest they lay the chief stress upon the matter of getting hold of technical knowledge as the means of making a living. The schools, none of them, are teaching too much about how to become good and worthy citizens, how to make dynamic men and women out of ordinary boys and girls. There Is the place for the stress. That, we think, is what Mr. Olney bad In mind when he urged those students to sink selfish plans for immediate aggrandizement in the larger purpose of doing good and being good for their country, says the Omaha Bee. For as sure as they do they' will have no difficulty In picking up a livelihood somewhere. So if our curriculums could be made to teach and throw their weight against selfishness In education our educational system w o w d be improved right here. ' * : • liraM PENALTY OF DEATH SLAYER OF AVIS U N N E L L STANTLY KILLED W H E N CURRENT IS APPLIED TNFrom Copenhagen comes Information which will be received with inter est by all who are alert to electric progress. Professor Hannover, president of 4he Polytechnic academy of that capital, is asserted to have invent* ed an electrical accumulator that has five t i n e s the capacity of the accumulators now In existence without any Increase over them in size and weight. I l e u s e s : porous TeXffnalloy"8heetB, t h e t * ^ . * 4 ^ ^ i&:<Ue^\ capacity of which is increased by perforating them with mill ion B of microscopic holes. Professor Hannover's accumulator, while it is likely to be more expensive than those now in use, will be most valuable for aeroplanes and submarine boats and in lighting railroad trains. EXECUTED AT 12:17 TUESDAY MORNING IN BOSTON Went to the Chair Smiling. "I Forgive Everybody" Were His Final Words as Current was Applied Clarence V. T. Rlcheson confessed murderer of Avis Linnell and a former Baptist preacher, was put to death by electricity in Charlestown state prison early Tuesday morning. At 12:10:02 o'clock the electrician threw a lever that sent a powerful current of electricity through the condemned man's body as he sat strapped \in the death chair. The first shock caused instant death, and after an examination by the physician in attendance, Richeson was pronounced legally dead at 12:17 a. m. Meets Death Calmly Rlcheson went to his death with composure, as he said he would do. He stepped from his cell into the corridor and through a door into the death chamber. When he had taken 13 paces he was in front of the electric chair. He took his seat in it and the straps and electrodeB were quickly put in place. The four guards who had accompanied him from biB cell, and, Chaplin Stebbins who preceded him into the room, stepped back. Warden Bridges raised his cane as a signal, and l a the next second Richeson's spirit had left his body. Richeson walked to the chair erect, eyes straight ahead, until he sat down. Then he closed hiB eyes and kept them shut until the end. Seated in the chair, he was asked a series of questions by Pastor Herbert S. Johnson, of Warren Avenue Baptist church, his spiritual adviser. During his answers he said: "God will take of my soul and I pray for all. I forgive everybody." The last qu&ation was: "Are you willing to die for JeBus's sake?" The reply, in an even well-formulated tone, was simply, 4 The current applied was of 1900 volts, eight amperes. . D«F SCHOOL AT FLINT BURNS The 250 Inmate* Wene Roused^From Sleep and Alt Were Saved. Five believed to have been started from* a bolt 61 lightning, destroyed all Qf the buildings of the Michigan School for tbe Deaf in 'Flint,' except the residence of Dr. F. 8. X'larke, superintendent.- Brown hall 'and a flew minor workshops. The flames were discovered at 1:45 a. m. in the cupola of the administration building. The loss is placed at ¢400,000, with no insurance. Three firemen were seriously hurt. Oren Parkhurst will lose an eye as a result of being struck by a tirebrand. Welch was seriously injured when a ladder broke, throwing him to the ground. Price, the chief of the department, had a miraculous escape from death. While directing .the lighting on the third floor, a stiel ceiling caved in upon him. Wate^ was turned upon the flames above him and the men succeeded in pulling him from the debris. Although half unconscious when rescued and severely burned about the body, he refused to leave the work. The -290 inmates of the school who were in the dormities at the time the fire started, are huddled in Brown hall, where recitations are usually held. They range in age from 5 to 18 years. There were also S4 attendants and nurses in the buildings. They directed the rescue of the children. The children were awakened by knocking on their beds and telling them in sign language of the fire. They weer marshalled together and marched from the building in a few minutes. None seemed unduly excited. The younger ones were immediately put into improvised beds in Brown- hall and Dr. Clarke s residence. Most of the children saved little but their night clothing. A few were able to snatch a few things as they were leaving. * FLASHES FROM WIRE. In more hardy days than these snuff w o used as an eye liniment. "Tbe Complete Housewife, or Accomplished Gentlewoman's Companion," which had run into 16 editions by 1758, extols its virtues, says the London Chronicle. Accomplished gentlewomen who find their sight failing with advancing years are advised to rub "the right sort of Portugal Bnuff Into the eyes night and morning, and take it also through the nose." This treatment, it Is asserted, "cured Sir Edward Seymour, Sir John Houblen, and Judge Ay res, so that they could read without spectacles after they had used them many years." Some people would prefer spectacles. A Chicago boy carried away a model aeroplane prize with a machine which bad curved wings like a letter U. They g a v e his mod>l a stability which carried It beyond all rivals, and a professional aviator who witnessed the exhibition declared that the lad had discovered a^J)rln$ipft which would undoubtedly be adopted by the builders of aeroplanes. After the boys have been «sperttaentlng a few more years It Is possible that we shall have a really safe flying machine. Kalamazoo Corset Makers' Strike. There is an imminent possibility that the state troops will be called out for action in the Kalamazoo cor- Bet makers' strike before the week is out, as local authorities fear they will be unable to cope with the situation as a result of a mass meeting of unionists at which it WUB decided to place 100 men on picket duty at the plant of the Kalamazoo Corset Co., where the strike is in effect. The unionists resolved to place the men on picket duty at the corset factory regardless of the fact that tbe court has issued an Injunction re- j straining both strikers and sympathizers from so doing, The unionists declare they will gladly go to jail lor the cause. The sheriff has prepared for trouble by swearing in extra deputies,' A committee of unionists has been selected to meet anil consider the calling of a general strike. Labor officials say they exercised every possible means to prevent the,, members of the union from taking a hand in the strike situation, b u t / i n spite of this the members insisted they were ready and willing to take up picket work, in violation of the injunction, and abide by the/result. There are more than/'2,200 trade unionists in Kalamazoo and they are exceedingly bitter over the imprisonment of the 12 coiset strikers. Dr. James M. Munyon has purchased a 40-acre hill side farm at Tarrytown, N. Y., formerly the summer home of Mark Twain. It is valued at 1200,000.

Bennett, Jr.. of Saugus, Mass. According to returns in hand from approximately 4,500 of the 5,192 precincts in the state, Col. Theodore Roosevelt's delegates to the national republican convention carried Ohio primaries by a plurality of about 25,000. It now seems scarcely possible 000. It now seems scarcely possible that final results from the primary poll will change the number of distric delegates for either side, by more than one or two. The best figures available show that Roosevelt has 32 of the 42 district delegates selected and President Taft has 10. Although later returns on the democratic presidental preference primary vote, gives Woodrow Wilson a fighting chance for one or two more delegates, the New Jersey man's exact standing will not be known for several days, when certain belated rural returns have been secured from dilatory judges, who refused to complete the counts in their precincts before taking a night's sleep. However, Governor Harmon practically is assured a complete delegaton of 48 delegates to the Baltimore convention. His lead now gives him control of the state democratic convention which will select delegates at large. Also it is said that the convention will provide for the unit rule, which will force the Wilson delegates selected by districts, to v o t e for the Ohio executive. Fight for Delegates-at-Large The delegate at large' situation in the republican party will not be known or settled until June 3, when the state republican convention is convened here. The Taft, leaders claim that they will control the state convention, _arid_d^8^g^te_J;he_ delegates at large for the president. "Bui the Rooseveltmanagers declared that late returns show tbernumber-of Taft delegates to the state convention to be dwindling, Instead of increasing, as was* announced. There is no question, but that the Taft-Roowvelt fight will be carried on to the floor of the s^ate convention, 'when the final struggle in Ohio will be made for the half dozen delegates at large. In only £3 of the 88 counties of the state_s/ere delegates to the state convention chosen. In the remaining counties, the delegates will be named by county conventions. Even'in the matter of district delegates, an official count will be necessary to determine exact results. An instance of this sort arose in the thirteenth congressional district (Sandusky) where late returns ndicate that the district will be divided almost evenly between Taft and Roosevelt delegates, and Harmon and Wilson. Early figures gave the two delegates in this district on the republican ticket to Mr. Taft. Colonel Roosevelt may now get one of the delegates, and thus increase his total of district delegates to 33. This would leave Mr. Taft nine delegates.

WHITE PLAGUE LESS DEADLY Decrease in Death Rate From Tuberculosis Means Saving of 27,000 Lives in Ten Yeara. In the decade from 1901 to 1910, the death rate from, tuberculosis in the United States declined from 196.9 for each 100,000 persons living to 160.3; a decrease of 18.7 per cent, while the general death rate, including all causes of death, declined only onehalf as Jas_t;_jor at^ the rate of 9.7 percent, from 1655^0 to 1495.8, according _to_flgurea given out Jby__the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis. The figures are based on data abstracted from the reports of the United States Bureau of the Census, and cover tbe registration area in this country. . According to the statement, the tuberculosis death, rate has declined steadily since 1904, when it was 201.6. On the other hand, the general death rate shows a fluctuation downward In general trend. but not as steady as the tuberculosis rate. The decline in the tuberculosis death rate In the last ten years means a saving of 27,000 lives at the present time. Best Business Creator.

The myriad mounds of rank and file stir tender and deep emotions. The veterans of the drilling scenes of '61 and '65 are passing. Over forty-eight thousand in 1909 answered the last' taps. Memorial Day should be sacredly kept and should most properly recall the stirring events of the Civil war. "What mean ye by these stones?" the descendants of Joshua asked, as they saw the memorial pile by the River Jordan. So the youth of today inquire of the silent sentinels raised to commemorate the soldier of '61. I am reminded of an example of pa* triotiem not usually known. Colonel Shaw, whose monument of bronze stands upon Boston Common, is not alone In deserving such a memorial. Up among the Berkshire Hills there Is a modest shaft that marks the grave of another gallant leader of negro troops. I refer to Colonel Chaunoey Bassett, of the Bassett Grand Army poet of Michigan, the grandfather of my children and the father of that elect lady, my wife. How Colonel Bassett inspired his men Is Illustrated by the heroism of a negro lad who was the color-bearer. As Colonel Ba* sett handed the flag; to the lad. he gave this charge: "My boy, T>rlhg back the colors or tell to God the reason why." Alt through the fierce light they watch* ed that standard. Once it was seen to fall—the lad's arm had been shot. But grasping the staff with his left hand, the flag moved forward again, waving over the dusky troops. Once more it swayed and dropped. But after1 the battle they found the little fellow , prostrate upon the flag: wet with his T J T o "J L™.™J? J:™:^ . ! ! blood. He could never bring the col* •ors back. He had told to God the reason why. But I recall a memorial which comes close to every veteran In the land. It Is the name i endeared to you by a thousand recollections and sends the warm blood throbbing through your veins. It Is the dear name of Comrade, Comrade! Tour companions In arms! They nave fallen, but your thoughts bring the old familiar forms and scenes back again. You sleep in the same tent and perchance share the same blanket or yon watch by the camp- Jfcre warming and sheltering yopr comrade from the cold aM the storm as be ha* ione for you. Ton divide your -scanty jratlms or you. dispense the lucky catch of .poultry or baooa; you |.cttls*a*bia.

He laughs, he sings, he shouts; he turns with stern resolve and face like flint to meet the bullet-storm. His joys, his sorrows, his glory, his hardship, are yours, for all the while it is comrade. It may be one today, another tomorrow, but always Comrade! I cannot forbear to mention one more Important lesson from the monuments of the war. It is this: The God of Nations Gave the Victory. The Almighty's hand has never been withdrawn from history. In the darkest hour a Lincoln's brain and heart— a true statesman's hand—grasped the helm and held the nation to her course through whirlwind, victory and dire disaster. In critical hours when foreign powers would smile encouragement to our foe God sent a strong man across the waters to apeak for us—a man of silver tongue, the orator's fire and the patriot's soul, who averted the threatened blow. Some well remember what utter consternation swept over the north when the "Merrimac" sunk the "Cumberland" and the "Congress" surrendered. When that same evening the news sped over the wires that the "Monitor" had arrived at Hampton Roads, the air rang with shouts and men who seldom acknowledged divine interference were saying, "How providential!" Merchants of war-time will not forget the terrible depression in business. For ten years previous two thirds of the country's exports consisted of cotton from the south. How could the great loss be met? In '61 and '62 there was drought in England and Europe. Then the farmer stepped to the front. The fields of America, particularly In the west, were, in these years, unusually abundant, and foreign ports were opened to receive "a value of over two hundred million dollars of the products of our soil. England sent us more than sixty million dollars of gold." At the last when the nation was weary the indomitable Grant came into leadership and by his sledge hammer blows, "By the left flank, forward!" gave the Confederacy the fatal stroke. Thus did the King of Nations shield this land. Think not, fellow-citizens, that your duty is done; that in rearing colossal statues your obligations are fulfilled. The peculiar institutions of this country are the memorials God commands If the dress is to see hard service, have it in a dark color and match it with a hat suitably tailored yet capable of being changed with a bit of dressy trimming on occasions. The London hats, or the trim shapes which imitate these imported styles, are very useful for both long and short trips, and as some of these have only, one bit of decking put on at the side, it is an easy enough matter to carry along a pretty "pole" of flowers—one of the high, tightly massed lifts—to put in place of the feather or cockade worn at more strenuous times. The next useful garment for the suit case traveler is the shirt waist, and with three in suitable fabrics she can successfully go through a week end at a fine country house or stop several days at a good hotel. The fabric of soft and washable sort is to be preferred for all three garments to a stiff material, wash silks, unstiffened batiste and pongee supplying about the best materials. For the traveling models offered for hot weather wear, and a very young woman might wear it while traveling with perfect propriety, as a good throat and arms are its chief requirements. There are some lovely wash silks striped with the new dress colors, and while rather of the negligee species such little bodices, made up in this manner, would be very effective with a wool suit on a hot day. J£ the silk la of a very stylish sort, too, it would be a good Idea to hem a bias of it for a hat scarf, and-*] a proper hat for this would be one of the duck tourist or outing shapes which are Belling from 50 cents up. A "dicky," or front, made to eke out the possibilities of a plain waist, is likewise a useful trifle for the'traveler to take along, and if she look* about the Bhops she will find many pretty styles in these. As to underwear, unstiffened dimity, from which every garment needed is made, could be used for the more intimate lingerie, while for the long petticoat there is a wide range of light and reasonably priced materials. In several of the shops the smartest underwear imaginable Is made of tan pongee, and this is much sought for traveling use. When selecting footgear remember that tan leather is cooler than any other and that white wash leather gloves a/e about the smartest worn. A little pair of 60-cent Turkish slippers will also adfl to the traveler's comfort and contribute nothing to the weight of the Bult case. MARY DEAN. The Agreeable 8wlsh of 311k. There is no denying the luxuriously Impressive effect of a soft frouTfrou of silk in a woman's garments. She may be quite simply dressed, an unobtrusive little figure sitting meekly in a corner of the room—let her rise and walk across the floor with a deiieious-^ uggestlon of-rustling silk fQLlowing her movements. The severely made-gown will take on the contour* of a Paquln model. When several years ago fashion's stern decree substituted the soft messallnes for the nolBy taffeta underskirts deep was the chagrin therein. But at an exhibition of this spring's styles at a fashionable dressmaker's, one of the models created a pleasurable sensation by tilling the room with the agreeable swish of taffeta silk. to It, you who fought gallantly for your country and you who today reap the harvest of heroism, see to it that your Influence goes abroad for pure morals, and guard aa yonr life the liberties handed down to you. ""The future of our nation lies in what citizens make it today. The world is looking to America. There are no new continents. "There Is no other race that possesses, aa does the Anglo-Saxon, liberty and a pure religion," and these are the mighty factors that will determine the future of the world for good. Friends, we are stilt in the "broad field of battle." still in the "bivouac of life." Who will be the hero? TouH answer will be in the sincerity and courage with which, you. defend the Institutions and the liberties of your One of the Newest Negligee Bodices Offered for Hot Weather Wear. waist the pongee in natural color, a rich tan or pale gold, would be useful and effective. The dressy waist could be of the batiste or of a fine lawn with a dainty lace and hand run tucks, and there could be a negligee blouse in the wash silk for tired moments and very Informal occasions. The last, in fact, could do duty as a wrapper, that is, serve instead of one, for it cannot be expected that there will be room in the suit case for all the comforts of the toilet. The comfortable little bodice shown in the illustration is one of the newest RED KID BOOTS IN VOGUE Fiery Colored Footwear Will Be Worn With White Surts, According to Dictates of Fashion. A new fashion note, apropos of the popularity of white goods this spring and summer, was noted in the factory of a maker of woman's high-grade shoes, where we say a large number of red kid button boots being prepared for shipment. Upon inquiry we learned that these red kid boots were Intended for wear with white suits and gowns at fashionable country and seashore resorts as a change from white footwear, it being evident to milady of fashion that she must have footwear that will take her out of the ordinary humdrum of fashion. Her white suit or gown will have a touch Of red trimming to complete the combination of a white dress and red boots.—Shoe Retailer. Fullness In Lingerie. Lingerie usually keeps pace with fashion and the newest trousseau petticoats and combinations are full— not at the hips, but at the befrllled hem—more so than for three years. This points distinctly to much fuller skirts in muslin frocks, otherwise the ruffles of the petticoats would be bound to make the wearer clumsy and uncomfortable, As embroidered panels are quite the rage in the sheer dresses, any frocks made narrow ahead of the season can easily be pieced out with something of the kind before the time comes for actually wearing them. Chiffons. Many of the latest blouses which are worn under coats have lace ruffles at the wrist. Many of the newest coats still show the side fastening, some starting slightly below the waist line, and others up at the shoulder. Cape collars extending over the shoulders are a feature not only of many heavy coats, but also of house and street gowns.

Vegetable foods include the cereals, legumes and tubers, roots and bulbs, green vegetation and vegetable fruits and flowers. Of the whole list the cereals are the most valuable, including as they do the grains from which the bread of nearly all the world is made, but rice and corn are the cereals not commonly referred to in lists of vegetables. Legumes all belong to the pulse family and the edible portion is In the shape of a pod, usually and though there are many thousand species only a few kinds are used on the table, beans, peas and lentils being the ones most In use. All legumes are rich in nitrogenous matter, and if properly cooked and consumed In reasonable quantities may to some extent replace a portion of meat in the daily dietary. There is scarcely any fat in the leguminous foods, so oil or some fat 1B wisely added. When green beans, peas and tender legumes have been removed from their pods they should be cooked gently in simmering water, but when the pods and all are used they should be boiled rapidly. When the green peas and beans, etc., have grown a little old, but must be cooked, a tiny pinch of soda will make them tender if added to the water they are boiled in and it helps to retain their bright green color. All green vegetables should be cooked in uncovered pens. Vegetables are blanched when cooking to remove the strong acrid taste; this process Is sometimes called "parboiling." With very old, strong flavored tuberous vegetables the water 1B often changed several times in the cooking process. To boil cabbage or cauliflower, select small heads of these vegetables, rather than large ones, as they will be—more—delicately- flavored,.-.. -The 1 cabbage should be cut in quarters and -soaked- for an^hoiir in salt water. Have a deep stew pan full of boiling water and add a tablespoon of salt. Put in the cabbage and cook briskly without covering for 30 to 40 minutes, according to the age of the cabbage. When cooking open the kitchen windows at the top and there wilt be no noticeable odor. Drain and chop the cabbage and to every pint of the cooked vegetable allow a teaspoon of butter and add more salt if it requires it and pepper to suit taste. Cooked thus, cabbage will be tender and full of flavor and will no longer be considered a coarse vegetable. When pork Is to be cooked with cabbage put the meat to cook first and when it is commencing to grow tender add the cabbage. All the above applies to cauliflower, except the latter is never quartered when put to cook and its flavor is so delicate that the water need not be change during the cooking. The time of cooking this lovely vegetable should never exceed 30 minutes. It may be served with a very rich white sauce or with only drawn butter— By Henrietta D. Grauel, Domestic Science Lecturer.

BABY'S ECZEMA AND BOILS "My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breaklng-out on hia cheeks, from which a watery sub-» stance oozed. A short time after, his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician who at once pronounced the disease eczema. The little fellow was under treatment for about three months. By the end of that time, he seemed no better. I became discouraged. I dropped the doctor's treatment, and commenced tho use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. and in a few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks, was almost heale'd, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly bef ter. When he was about seven months old, all trace of the eczema was gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out in boils which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been a great sufferer. - During the time of teething and fronrHhe time I dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old he was the picture of health. His complexion was soft and beautiful, and his head a mass of silky curls.- I had been afraid that he would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies."

Moatape For of Probate The many friends of A. A. Montague are urging him to accept the office of Judge of Probate for another term. If he will allow his name to appear on the ballot they will do the rest, they declare. . Mr. Montague has made an excellent officer in the past and that is a guarantee for his constituents for the future. He has the happy faculty of making friends in the discharge of his official dutiet. Then, too, he has the business of probate judge well ID hand, and following the custom of other coQnhes, there is no reason why he should not serve the people another term.—Republican So we say. Judge Montague haB served the county in a faithful manner in the duties of this office, so when we have a good efficient man filling an important office, why make a change. By all means urge him to accept another term, and give it to him. —Livingston Tidings. Brighton people are so well satisfied with the Judge that they had not cons idered any other candidate as being eligible to the nomination.—Brighton Argus. It appears from the above that Judge Montague is as popular in other parts of the county as he is in this vicinity. Bis many friends hope that he will accept the nomination. He will be the strongest candidate we could suggest Connor's Worlds Best Ice Cream • » * ICB CREAM SODABS are all the go rjowadaysfsand Don't Forget, It is the Quality of the cream that makes the aodaes have that cool, delicious and refreshing taste.

Billings ushered in tne professor jwlth a flourishing Introduction. { The great man never spoke, but Wave me the end of one finger, and fdeviHsh grudgingly at that. He Just came to anchor and stood there very straight and stiff, Ignoring the chairs ^IhniBt toward him from every point. One hand was stuck in his stiff broadcloth bosom, with elbow pointing outiward, and his great topbeavy head •{reared above us Impressively. ] [ addressed the professor hospltajbly; "Ah! won't you sit down, pro- •treflsor?" J He drew back, frowning. "Sit down, !elr?" he questioned. And, by Jove, la not 'sitting down' recrudescence back to the primordial?" So saying, he took a pinch at my shirt front and stepped back again impressively. Then bis great head shot forward In front of his rigid neck—so suddenly, by Jove, that I reached out to try to catch It, don't you know. He made just two strides to the table, ten feet away, and pounced upon the pajamas with obviously trembling hands. And behind his back Billings relapsed into an arm-chair and fanned himself with a magazine. The professor fumblingly sought through his pockets, and producing a pair of spectacles with phenomenally large lenses, adjusted them shakily. He bent over the pajamas eagerly. "Impossible! And yet. It is, it la!" he muttered. "I would' know the weave among a thousand. It is hers undoubtedly, undoubtedly—the lost silk of Sl-Ling-Chl! How comes It here?" He glared around rather wildly at each or us In turn. Without waiting for a reply, he whisked back to the pajamas, and fishing out a thick magnifying lens, scrutinized the garments closely. It seemed that he would certainly nod his big head off its jolly hinge; and his quick side glances at Billings and myself, together with his growling and muttering, Just reminded me of a dog with a bone, by Jove! J stared at Billings and Billings stared at me, and then he slipped over to the divan upon which I dropped, completely exhausted, dash it, from standing so long. "Whose did he say?" he whispered. "Celia something," I answered. "Dash it, I didn't catch her surname. Oh, I say, you know, this is awful!'' Out of the professor's mutterings we caught a random sentence. "Found, found again," we heard him. "say. "Hers be7ondTJeradveBture"-otTT doubtr I-atn not .mLs.tak_en."_ "Ah, gentlemen!" exclaimed the professor, coming back again, "what a thing this little Chinese woman did for civilization when she gave the wvorld silk culture and invented the loom! No wonder the Chinese delned her as a goddess." "Goddess!" Billings swallowed hard. "And did these—h'm—garments belong to the lady?" The professor frowned at him In surprise. "Garments?" 'Them," said Billings In devilish questionable grammar, pointing to the table. "They are pajamas, you know." "Ha!" ejaculated the professor, holding them up. "So they are. You are very observing, sir, very. Now, 1 had not noticed that at all; I was so Interested in the material Itself—the wonderful silk of Sl-Llng-Chl, gentlemen. Ha! Indeed a rare privilege!" He Jutt Came to Anchor and 8tood There Very Quietly. "by-Qrta time he showed hit teetJi^And j By love!

"Only oace before hare I seen a piece of It—but It was enough; I could never, teter target." Something like a groan escaped htm. CHAPTER XVIII. Tfce sXpeft of the Pajtmss, The professor suddenly raced us. ;ho*dfc« up the-pajamas with a ges- '!nrt""of raajttiry. "From a friend of Mr. Ltghtnut's In China," Billings explained. "H'm! In the neck, professor—I mean Inside the collar," be said, approaching the table—" there's some kind of freak lettering. Looks foolish to me." Tht* professor looked perplexed. "I mean, looks like It was done by some one who WSB batty—had wheels, you know; probably some chink whose blBcult was drlfty," floundered Billings. "You understand!" The professor didn't. I knew that Jolly well by the way he cocked his head on one side, standing like a puzzled crow, don't you know. "Ha! I fear I do not as I should," he said with an apologetic cough. "Perhaps I do not Intelligently and logically follow your deductions because your premises are inscrutable until I have seen the lettering. Ah!" Out came glasses and lens and he bent over the collar eagerly. The professor's lips moved rapidly and his visage twlBted Into a horrible frown. "Why, why—a—what!" With mouth open, and gripping the pajamas tightly, he glared at us each in turn. "Oh, impossible!" he rasped harshly, seizing the lens and bending again. "Incredible—poof—absurd — tut, tut, what nonsense!" The glass swept the lines rapidly. Suddenly*, with a cry, the professor dropped the lens, a violent start almost lifting h!m from the floor. "Ridiculous, I say! Poof!" He snapped his fingers. "Necromancy and thaumaturgy transmitted In pajamas! Absurd!" "Piffle!" said Billings emphatically. "Don't know what they are," he whispered to me, "but I'll take a hundredto- one shot on anything he says. The professor's a corker!" "By Jove!" I remarked. "Perhaps Professor Huckleberry won't mind telling "us^-"~~ ~ " ~~" ,LWhatI think, gentlemen^ What could I think but what I am sure is your own conclusion—though you have generously and considerately left me to form my own opinion—namely, that the claim of supernatural attributes of these garments is- preposterous. Enchanted pajamas! Haunted pajamas! Poof! Nursery lore; children's fairy tales! Ghosts, gentlemen? Tut, tut—nonsense!" He snorted Indignantly. "Ghosts!" faltered Billings. "Oh, I say!" I rather gasped. Dash me If it didn't give me a turn, rather! The professor shrugged his Bhoulders. "What other interpretation is admissible, gentlemen?" he questioned somewhat peevishly, taking up the coat. "Here, we have the royal Insignia of the cruel emperor, Kee, and we note that these garments were given some one in his court by the alleged sorcerer, Fuh-keen, Perhaps It was revenge— perhapB some court plot in which Fuh-keen, for reasons of his own, was an active participant; it is of no importance, that part of it. »0 much for the first line; but now we come—" He paused to polish his spectacles. "Tell me," he said more cheerfully, "do our free translations of the ideographs so far agree in essentials— eh?" "Like as tw^ peas!" Billings declared with manifest enthusiasm. The professor looked gratified and bowed. "Now we come to the second line, or, more strictly speaking, column," he said, straightening Impressively. "Here we find the astonishing claim made that there will be a change or metamorphosis of any kind of animal life that these habiliraentB enshroud, Urn!" The great man breathed heavily and batted at us over his glasses. "Creda^ Judaeus apella—eh, gentlemen?" And he winked knowingly. Dashed if he didn't almost catch me swallowing a yawn, too! For I hadn^ any idea what he was talking about or driving at, and, by Jove, 1 did know I was getting devilish sleepy. The professor waved his glasses. "Did you ever read guch a childish, ridiculous, extravagant asseveration?" he demanded. "Ass—eh? I should say so!" 1 worked this off Indignantly. "Tommyrot!" murmured Billings absently. He seemed thoughtful. I was thoughtful, too—wondering, by Jove, whether the professor would go soon, so we could turn in and get the earlier start tomorrow up the river. But chiefly I was wondering wistfully if Frances would still be angry with me. "Moreover," broke In the professor's voice as he turned again to the lettering, "to assert further that there will be a semblance—not actual, gentlemen, mind you, bat an optical lllusioi— taking the form of some ci»atnrS of tne sanwaind that this sttken tenement has previously inclosed. "Jo other words, gentlemen, If I were to don these garments, I might no longer look like myself, but like some one else who bad worn them upon some previous occasion—perhaps last night- -pernape a thousand years age. Eh? Is that what you understand?" He ducked again over the letter* and came up, looking chagrined. "Moreover, I am forced to confess, gentlemen, that I fall to find a system— any rule governing these ridiculous transformations. The hypothesis Is, therefore, that the alleged materializations merely follow the arbitrary caprice of the magic." He shook his head. "Well, gentlemen, I— really, I must laugh!" And he did! I hadn't caught the drift of what it was he thought he was laughing at—I got the words, but I was too dashed sleepy to get the sense. But I was awfully glad I understood this much—that what he ww attempting now was a laugh. I never would have known It. It was more like a shrieking squeak—rusty hinge, you know, that sort of thing. The professor looked up from the pajamas, and folding his arms, eyed Billings with a cunning leer. "I think I see," he said, leveling his finger. "You have both demonstrated how nonsensical Is the assertion in this Inscription. Doubtless you desire an experiment upon my part to confirm your proof of its absurdity. Reductio ad absurdum—eh, gentlemen?" A devilish queer look had come into Billings' face. He nodded, gathered " I Think I See." the pajamas Into the professor's arms and patted him on the shoulder in a way I thought offensively familiar. "You've got it, professor!" he said, grinning. Then he whispered to me aside: "Not a word, Dicky—great Scott!" But he needn't have Bald that, even If I had been mind-reader enough to guess what word he meant. It was about all I could do to get out a last word to the professor as he went out the door: '"Night!" Satisfies There never was a thirst that Coca-Cola couldn't satisfy.

A movement has been started in Frankfort, Ky., to preserve the "little red brick" building on the old State House square on account of its historic interest. The building now standing is 98 years old, and Daniel Boone, on tbe occasion of visits t6 -Frankfort after-It was-erected, visitedthe offices on business. In two years the building will be 100 years old, if left standing, and is the oldest state building in existence. No Novelty. -liEeople are queer." "I have heard rumors to that effect."

I stood, cap in hand, one foot on the sidewalk before the Kahoka, the other on the running-board of the car —a big double-tonneau red whale sort of affair. This was as far as I had been admitted to the vehicle. For the frump was sitting there behind the steering wheel, looking down at me in a nasty, sldewlse fashion. Ever have them do you that way? Besides, I somehow felt that she had a feeling toward me as a roan, an un- •voiced protest against my existence at all. 1 It found expression In her suspicious, sniffy manner. Dash It, i Just hated that woman from the start! I felt it was bad enough, her English clumsiness in getting the introductions twisted aa I advanced to meet the car, but now I was of naif a mind that. she had done it purposely. Could see with half an eye that she was determined to make trouble about yesterday. "Haven't we net before, Mr. Llghtnut?" she had asked. ! But It struck me that Frances glanced at me with a kind of wistful light In her lovely eyes, and I saw that the game was to lie like a gentleman— that sort of thing, you know. And, by Jove, I was getting kind of used to It now, anyhow—I mean since I had broken the ice last night. Not hard at all, though, after a few goes— really! 80 I stood out that I had never had the pleasure, you know—all that sort or polite rot. And all the time felt like a Jolly cad, too, meeting a girl with that, when she remembered! But, by Jove, it was worth saortneing the fiujap fifty times over just to see Vrancea* face brighten and note her >falifcflush arid sntitajse s|fcilook*d at me. For, dash It, I knew then I had done the right thing! "Um!" grunted the frump, compressing her lips and looking at my darling. "There's one good thing: the experience with Mr. Smith will teach Francis a lesson!" The cat! Nice sort of host! But the dear girl Just laughed I remembered thai laugh! -how CUTICURA OINTMENT HEALED BAD SORE ON LIMB "Some time ago I was coming up some steps when the board crushed under me like an egg shell, and my right limb went through to the knee, and scraped he flesh off the bone just Inside and below the 'knee.

The lack of trees is painfully evident In the newer districts, especially in the regions covered by the £reat tires ot 1871 and 1881.' A well grown, well placed windbreak possesses great ornamental and practical value and Is one of the easiest and best methods of adding to the number of farm trees. The value cf a wind-break about farm buildings is most evident, of course, In winter when it protectB the stock and prevents drifts by causing the snow to ta;t evenly over cne protected area. In^flelde the soil is kept more evenly covered, thus preventing winter killing of such crops as wheat, alfalfa and clover. In summer the soil in the piotected area retains moisture better and the humidity of the air is greater In the shadow, The region in the lea of the wind-break is protected one rod in width for each foot of hf.igh't of the trees. For example, a wind-break thirty feet high should protect a strip of land lying next to it, thirty rods wide. As a matter of fact this rule holds true for the wind-break on the College farm as may readily be Been on a windy day of either summer ' or winter. Not least in the list of [benefits Is the fact that an evergreen • i . wind-break affords protection for birds tl^e year around. The cost of planting a wind-break need not be excessive.

Such stock should cost from eight to twelve dollars per thousand. The ground where the wind-break is to stand should be plowed and cropped one year before setting out the trees. This treatment makes regular cultivation possible until the trees are too large tc work. Grass should not be allowed to grow^about the young trees if rapid, healthy growth is desired. The two trees most widely used for this purpose are Norway Spruce and White Pine. The White Pine gives best results on the heavier soils, both clay loams and peat loams, while Norway Spruce is better adapted to the lighter soils and sandy loams. The White Pine wind-break (shown in the illustration), oh the Agricultural College farm is seven-eighths of a mile in length with an average height of from 25 to 30 feet. Three-year-old stock was used in the planting, which was done during the seasons of 189(J and 1900.

TO MOVE ON CHICAGO SOON A young laundry girl addressing the Twilight club upon the conditions under which her comrades live and work said: "Sometimes college girls work in the shops for a couple of weeks, and then go back and report that it is all nonsense for working girls to say they can't get along on jthe wages~they "get,"~ But~Tt~ls~aTdif" Ferent thing to get along on $4 a week when you know you can quit at any time." In the truth of that saying lies the chasm that separates the well-to-do from the very poor. By most men and women of means every effort to assist or even to understand the problems of the poor is made under an impulse of sentiment, says the New York World.

It is a little more than a mile in length, and has a population of 55. The sovereignty of the island was accorded in 1836 by King Charles Albert to the Bartoleonl family. Up to 1882 Paul 1. reigned peaceable over his little Island kingdom, but at his death the islanders proclaimed a republic, says the London Globe. By the constitution of the republic the president is elected for ten ycr.rs and women exercise the franchise. r _ ,, A Paris soothsayer announces that Princ« Victor Napoleon is going to be acclaimed president of the French republic, after which he will declare himself emperor, this to be followed by an era of great prosperity for France.

Then They Must Make Quick Jump to Baltimore—How Tickets Are Assigned and Quarters Provided for the Correspondents. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Moving day is imminent in Washington. Very soon scores of members of congress, the campaign managers of three Republican candidates and hundreds of persons who are to be merely onlookers will take trains, regular and special, to move on Chicago for the great Republican national convention. While the Republican convention Is at its height other acores of congressmen and campaign managers of at least four Democratic candidates and more onlookers than are numbered among the hosts of Chicago spectators, wil Imove on Baltimore. The conventions this year are regarded by everybody in Washington as certain to be of unusual Interest. The demand for tickets to both great affairs has been greater than ever before and the committeemen are being put to it not simply to meet the demand, hut to discover ways and means of declining demands so diplomatically as not to give offenee. It is a case of being asked to put at least a hundred pegs in one hole and this is the thing which not even the sagacious and resourceful national committemen of the two parties are able to do. Army of Correspondents. Congressmen, political managers and onlookers will not be the only ones to leave Washington for the Chicago event. At least 150 newspaper correspondents will desert the galleries of congress some days in advance of the Republican convention to go to the Lake city, to report not only the convention itself, but the boujodj:£ojbej_ntexe6tlng. iirelimlnarje.s,_ There will be 600 newspaper men in attendance at bofh conventions. Prior to the conventions, the national committeemen of both parties are extremely busy men, but there are others who have to work also. The correspondents in Washington have what 1B called a standing committee whose duties It is to regulate the press galleries, to decide on who is entitled to admission and who Is not, to investigate in the rare cases where some correspondent is charged with unprofessional conduct, and to do many other things in the way of "regulation and good government." Mr. Albert's Large Task. The chairman of the standing committee of correspondents is Charlea S. Albert. To Mr. Albert have come the applications from all the managing editors of the daily papers of the country asking for assignments of seats on the press platforms of the two conventions. It is also the duty of the chairman to confer with the other members of the standing committee and to determine whether or not the demands of the different newspapers have been out of keeping with the real news necessities in the case. It is rather a difficult and delicate Job t^o determine Just how many seats the newspapers are entitled to. When all the applications are In, the requests for newspaper seats are turned over by~the standing committee to the chairman of the national committees on the management of the two conventions, and the seats are assigned. In the house press gallery acting as its superintendent Is a government employee who has been for something like thirty years at his post of duty. He is Charles H. Mann, a Marylander. He is not only a veteran of the Washington service, but a veteran of the convention eervice. In the senate press gallery as superintendent is James D. Preston, young and extraordinarily active. He has been traveling back and forth between Baltimore and Washington several times a week ever since the Democratic national committeemen fixed on Baltimore as the place for the convention. It Is not too much to say that Mr. Preston probably knows just what kind of quarters have been assigned each Individual correspondent It has been one of his duties to see to It that the. writers have places to which they can go to pound out for themselves, or to dictate, instant copy. Department Press Agents Accused. Members of the house rules committee recently have been investigating "the use of press agents by the departments of government." In many of the departments men are employed to put out information concerning the work which the government intends to do along certain lines. Much of this material is sent to Washington correspondents and a good deal of it is use* ful, for it contains facts which are of service In writing articles concerning the activities of the government. The charge has been made that some of the publicity agents of the departments have gone beyond the boundi of propriety and have put out matter intended not only to defend officials from attack, but to bring discredit upon people who have criticised the workings of the departments. The direct charge made concerning " t h e . pernicious publicity activity" considered by the home rules committee had to do with material furnished by the department of agriculture which, ft is said, was seat out in franked envelopes and which was intended, so it is asserted, to hamper the Investigation which was being made into meat inspection affairs. Publicity That Has Vakie. The government has benefitted vastly by its attempts to employ proper publicity agents, and if any of the writers on behalf of the government service have overstepped the bounds of propriety they have unquestionably dealt a blow to publicity of the right kind. Take the bureau of education, for Instance. It furnishes and has been furnishing for some time Interesting matter concerning educational affairs all over the country, and the trend of education in other countries. In the main it Is wholesome stuff and frequently it has not only real educational value, but real news value. The stopping up of this source of educational publicity probably would not only be an injury to the government. but a distinct loss to educators all over the country who take a deep interest in their profession and all that pertains to It. Of course the publicity matter referred to does not include the regular publications of the departments. There has been no hint of an intention to interfere with their issue. Not long ago there was established by congress what waB called a bureau of mines. The officers of this bureau are engaged in the work of showing mining corporations and their employes how to prevent accidents and how to save life and property. Some of the material furnished by the publicity agent of this bureau has been read by hundreds of thousands of people the country through. Frequently these articles have been accompanied by illustrations made from photographs of actual accident and life-saving scenes. The state department also has a publicity agent, and now much materia] is given out of a kind which before this was held secret simply because the holding of everything secret was the department's custom. Cheaper Money for Farmers. The American state department through five of its ambassadors has been investigating European systems by which the farmers there are enabled to borrow money at reasonable rates. The intention of the state department, after studying the results of the investigation, is to attempt to introduce- the--European -syetem-in tbi&- country, so that the American farmer can borrow money at cheaper rates. It seem^s to be the administration's thought that if the European system is adopted in America the farmer can raise money on his farm by means of a bond saleable in any part of the country. In Europe, It is said, the farmer borrows on equal terms with the biggest railroad, industrial corporation or municipality. The state department in a printed communication to the public on the matter says: "The investigation is considered one of the most important undertakings yet attempted in dollar diplomacy. Myron T. Herrlck, the newly appointed ambassador to France, is Secretary Knox's right-hand man in the investigation. Mr. Herrick is himself the product of an Ohio farm, and has made the "problem of the farmer" a hobby for years. When the work in Europe is completed the state department will prepare an organization plan to fit the scheme to American conditions, and a legislative program will probably be mapped out for the president to-submit to congress, The investigation is centered about the Credit Fonder of France and the Landschaften of Germany. How the Credit Fonder Works. "The Credit Foncier Is a limited-liability company operated under the supervision of the French government for the purpose of lending money to public service corporations, communities, counties and landowners, and to create and negotiate bonds based on mortgages, which are limited to the amount due from the lender. In other words, the Credit Foncier acts as the agent for the French farmer, so that instead of seeking to raise money directly from some local investor by mortgaging his farm, the farmer places his mortgage with the Credit Foncier, which in turn issues a bond based upon that mortgage and which can be sold anywhere throughout the country. In this way the French farmer is freed from the necessity of borrowing in the limited market of his own Immediate vicinity. "It is Just this restriction i hich is forcing the American farmer to pay exorbitant rates of Interest and to put up with none too acceptable terms. In this country the farmer is practically forced to borrow from some investor in his community. If local conditions make money "tight" there he suffers accordingly. In one section of the country he pays six per cent, in* terest, and in another ten per cent., though in both instances the security offered may be the tame. Never can he compete with the bonds of the big industrial corporations, though In many instances the security which he offers is JuBt as good as that of the corporation." It is intended to make the venture, if adopted here, a*project primarily for the benefit of the farmer. The promoters of the plan are not to receive any portion of the profits, and even the earnings o f the stockholders will have to he kept down to very reasonable rateB.

Those who examined the returns were unable to guess closely at the plurality for Col. Roosevelt, as the figures from several counties had not been tabulated, but former ex-Goveimr Stokes, Col. Roosevelt's representative at Trenton, said that Col. Roosevelt would have a plurality of between 1;>,000 and 30,00((. W i l s o n V i c t o r y C l e a n Cut.

The proposition that the city bond itself for $000,000 to buy the Ann Arbor water works plant and improve it, lost by a majority of 605 at the second election held in Ann Arbor. At the first election, held April 1, there was a majority of 473 in favor of buying the plant, but that majority lacked two votes of the necessary three-fifths majority. Guerrilla Warfare in Cuba.

Cattle Shortage Denied by Bureau. • In a statement issued tl*e department of commerce and labor takes direct issue with the dealers' association which holds that the advance in price of meats is due to a shortage of cattle. Not since 1907, according to the department, have receipts of cattle been so great as in April of this year. In their statement the dealers said: "The rise in prices is due to a shortage in shipments from the west. The production of native steers is said to be 25 per cent less than it was a year ago. The consumer is bearing the brunt of these conditions." As to the receipt of hogs the report states: "The receipts, in April of this year for hogs show a considerable increase, and the number of sheep received is likewise greater than the number received in any April during the past decade."

Plain hats, simply trimmed, with a single "stick-up" of flowers, ribbon or feathers, caught the popular fancy with amazing strength and rapidity. They became so popular, in fact, that their days with fashionables are numbered. Those who are always looking for "something different" must, of necessity, insist upon something more elaborate. This fashion shone at its best in mourning millinery where graceful, beautifully made hats of crepe depend &fea 4 upon small decorations, also made of crepe, to complete them. Almost all the best models in mourning hats employ nothing but crepe in their trimming. The popularity of stick-up effects gave the millinery an opportunity to copy all sorts of millinery trimmings, as wings, bows, cabochons and other ornaments, making them up of crepe folds or cords or plaltings. The exact and beautiful workmanship and the Ingenious designs have resulted in the most elegant and attractive crepe hats ever shown. The mourning hat made of silk grenadine and other special weaves of •Bilk are covered quite smoothly and decorated with bands of crepe shaped to fit about the crown. These are also finished with a trimming made of crepe, as shown in Fig. 1. Crepe is one of the few fabrics which is equally good In the body of a hat and in its decoration, i It is more used in the composition of mourning gowns and wraps than ever before. Here it is applied in shaped borders, panels and applique designs. Very rarely whole gowns are made of it, but there are numbers of beautiful blouses made all of crepe, or of crepe combined with other fabrics. BRASSIERE IS A BLESSING Keeps the Figure Looking Trim Above the Waist, a Highly Desirable Effect ^ One doesn't have to be uncomfortable in these enlightened days of the brasBleres which support the bust, keeps the figure looking trim above the t>elt, while below that may be worn hip restralners, meaning stays, which have only a few flexible whalebones which you'll scarcely know are present. If you don't care to buy ready-made a brassiere that is all lace insertion and satin ribbons, you may make one for yourself by using as a pattern the upper half of a tight-fitting underwaist or corset cover, the old-fashioned garment which Is the ugliest thing imaginable, but which still is lurking in the wardrobe of nearly every middle-aged woman. Make the brassiere of fine lawn, BYench dimity or batiste, fasten it over the shoulders with bands of handembroidered lingerie material and edge it all round with lace, but don't run ribbons through beading because that sort of frivolity has gone out of date and whatever happens, you don't want to be behind the times. UBe satin flowers instead. Put a fine row of tiny rosebuds across one shoulder or a Ittt le-ehister-of-forget-me-nots- ov-e* the band where the fronts close and your brassiere will look so fascinating ihat you'll enjoy putting it on, and incidentally, you'll wonder how you ever managed without It. AM Day Bag. "Even though you never would dream of carrying a handbag in America, you must take one with you to Europe, where they are considerably more expensive to buy than at home, and where you will need one every time that you start for a single day's excursion," warned an experienced tourist while advising a friend about to depart for her first trip across tho Atlantic. "This all day bag need not be weighty, but It must be sufficiently capacious to hold extra gloves and a handkerchief, a very slender folding comb and toothbrush, a tiny cake of soap, hand towel, self-feeding powder puff, rubber sandals, hand mirror, chiffon veil of good size, fountain pen, notebook and needle case. With that sort of equipment a woman can keep herself looking tidy for a number of hours and she is prepared for almost any emergency likely to arise." NOTED AVIATOR DEAD.

President Struck by Wad of Paper. Chief Wilkie, of the secret service, has been conducting a quiet investigation into an attempted attack on President Taft which occurred while the president was speaking in the public square in Rutherford, N. J. Mr. Wllkie put through the third degree em Italian who is said to have thrown a package which hit the president in the face. Thus far no arrest has been made. A statement given out by Frank M. Buckies, leader of the Taft organization, regarding the Italian's attack, says: "The twelve hundred persons assembled In the public square were disappointed in not hearing the president speak because of the act of a vandal. As the package struck the president's face, or came down, scraping his face, he was about to speak but the secret service men pushed him back in his seat and took charge of affairs. They pushed the car ahead at full speed through the crotfd, not knowing what was iu the paper, and got .away. Later they informed me that the paper had been soaked in water to make it heavy."

Hallen died in the City hospital. When the young woman was taken to Chief Behrendt's office, the latter informed her that he had talked with Hallen and wanted to get her aide of the story. Thinking her lover had told of the shooting, she readily fell into the trap, admitting that she ran away with Hallen, who left a wife and child in Janesvllle, Wis., a few months ago, and that she shot him because he aald he was going to Rockford to BOO hia wife. "I told him I had but 35 cents and asked him to give me a dollar in order that I might move my trunk. If he had given me that dollar I don't believe I would have shot him, but the sneering manner in which he advised me to go back to the streets stirred up something that caused me to pull the revolver from under the mattress and shoot."

Ever since they were married at "Ton la "about sTx years ago.whcn Mrs. Wibert was only-fifteen years of age, the husband and wife have evidently had a stormy domestic life. Miss Alice Harrell, a friend of the dead woman, who has lived at their home for some time, says that she has gften heard Mr«. Wibert say: "I'd like to take Just enough poison to scare Mel good." Two or three times she has taken chloroform or something else, it is said, in the effort to give Wibert "a good scare." Petoskey. — Lightning struck the J. D.

Can Be Made of the Cheaper Cuti of Besf With Excellent Results —Eye of Beef Is Best Cut. Pot roast is one • of the delicious meat diahes that can be made of the cheaper (not the cheapest) cutB of beef with excellent results. It is a great mistake to imagine that the cheaper cuts of meat are less nutritious, the fact being that these offer the most of nutriment and smallest waste. For example, the first ribs of beef contain about 13.6 per cent, proteid or body building material, and the hindquarter 18.7 per cent, of proteid material. Perhaps it Is not fair to call pot roast a cheap dish, because the prices vary an widely in different localities, and the cuts var^ so much. In the vicinity of Providence, R. I., for example, our correspondents report prices it 12 to IS cents a pound; in Philadelphia, 14 to 20 cents, and in New York, 18 to 22 cents. In Providence they sell for pot roast the rump (14 to 16 cents), shoulder (12 to 14 cents), and bottom round (10 to 18 cents); in Philadelphia and vicinity the chuck roast, next to ribB (14 cents), shoulde* cut (16 to 18 cents), and the ribr, (18 to 20 cents). In New York City and the west prices are higher and their range is greater. The cuts are bottom round, top sirloin (which is too expansive, aa a rule, and requires less cooking), top round and briaket, 16 to 22 cents. The eye of the beef is considered the epicurean cut for pot roast. This is a triangular piece of meat taken from the hindquarter between the top and bottom round after the bone has been removed. In the west, pot roast is often made by cutting vertically through the bottom and top round (inside round) Instead of cutting either the bottom or the top roi^nd (inside round) separately, as is done in the east. This top round or part on the inside of the hindquarter is exceptionally good for pot roast. _ -la- -different- kw^allties-4he—names- ofbeef cuts are entirely different. In some places, for example, the flank 1B cut so as to Include more of the loin, in which case the upper portion is often called the flank steak. Sometimes the rump i3 called the rump steak; the inside round, thi top round; the plate, the rattle. Often the cross ribs and brisket are included together under the name of cross ribs; the forepart of the cross ribs is often called the shoulder clod and the leg underneath the second round is called the hind shoulder. Often, too, the socket and rump together are called simply the rump. Consequently oue must know from what part of the b9ef the meat should be cut and how It looks. This knowledge must be acquired in actual marketing.—Good Housekeeping Magazine. NICE LEMON LAYER CAKE Rtcipe That Insures a Product That Will Do Credit to the Cook.

Dry Pumpkin Pie. Stew pumpkin or squaBhes as for any ordinary pie, putting a layer about half inch thick in tins and place In warming closet In range to dry. If the pumpkin Is stewed till quite dry it will take only a very short time to dry sufficiently to keep all winter. There is no danger of thfcr spoiling, as with canned pumpkin.

With the Beore standing 9 to 5 in their favor in the 7th, Pinckney by means of a number of wild throws allowed Howell to score 5 runs and cinch the game. Howell started a southpaw in the box and what happened to him was awful. He walked l,hit 1 and was pound* ed for 4 singles and a triple in the 1st inning and the boys would no doubt be batting yet if he had not been relieved by Newcombe. Newcombe was a puzzle to everybody except to Pinckney's two slugging outfielders who clouted him for a couple of bingles apiece.

Connor G Cannot Use Friar; Money To Fay Teachers Of utmost importance to many- -- city, village and rural districts in Michigan is the opinion just given by Attorney General Franz 0. Euhn in regard to the use of the primary money which will be apportioned in July of this year. No part ofjft can be used to pay teachers fot services rendered before the money is received by the district treasurer. If there is no primary money on hand, tbe districts must pay the teachers from the general fund and this is not to be replaced by primary money, when the latter is received.. The general school law provides that when the primary fund is exhausted, the teachers are to be paid out of the general fund. If there not sufficient funds on hand, the school board may vote a tax sufficient and then borrow money on the amount voted, no action of the people being necessary. Special provision for the year 1912 is made in compiler's section 23 of the school laws as follows: "Provided, that, if any deficiency shall be caused in the teachers' wages fund in any school district by the changing of the date of the ap portionment of the primary school interest fund by the superintendent of public instruction, the school board or board of education ot said district shall have authority, first to borrow on the warrant of-the district for tbe sum of such deficiency or, second, to borrow and issue bonds of the school dis* trict for the sum of such deficiency for a period not to exceed five, years." , *• ' This deficiency or the bonds must be paid out of the general fund and not from the primary money.

"Do yoa know," sue added, "I believe I out torsive a Harvard man almost anything, Mr. Llghtnut." "JBy Jove! The angel!

She thought so, for she opened th« door berself as the frump turned, murmuring some silly thing about China and the open door to America. What did China have to do with it? And it was Just then that Jenkins 'boKed wildly from the building. "Mr. Llghtnut—quick, sir! Mr. BUIisjga, Blr!" I thought of the telephone right off, bat he just caught my arm.

Ha!" And he whirled triumphantly. "Ah!" he said, advancing eagerly and rubbing his hands. "It is you! You have heard, then? Marvelous, isn't it—wholly incredible! But do you know"—here he plucked at my shirt front, took a pinch, aa It were, just as he had seen the professor do— "I cannot find any transmigration. The materialization appears to be wholly optical." "Never mind," I said anxiously, for I knew be was talking about the rubles; "we don't care." I smiled brightly. "Let's go down and see the car—nice car!" And I tried to get hold of his fat side, but missed it. "Car?" Billings looked puzzled. Then his face broke lato a smile. "Carpe diem—eh, am I not right? True, true! Whither you say." He looked about on a table. "Um—my notes, now," he muttered; and he caught up a small book and a pencil. The professor's man protested: "Professor Doozenberry don't like—" "Oh, dash it, let him have them!" i exclaimed, for Billings was already chuckling happily and writing In the little blank book. "Come on," I pleaded, catching a fold of the pajamas. "Wouldn't you like to come get some clothes on?" He drew back in alarm. "No, no— not yet—not until 1 complete ray notee," was hla crazy answer. "You know: cubiata causa, tollltur effectus!" And he looked as though he thought this would finish me. "But your friend," he. exclaimed suddenly, as he allowed me to throw a blanket about his shoulders and we moved out of the door, "the gentleman I met last night—Billings—is not that the name?" I looked at him miserably as we entered the car to go down. "Obr~I-8#yr-;BlttiB*Si oM^-ehapr" ~t protested earnestly, "don't you know me?" ^1 pointed to the little panel of mirror' In the cage. "Don't you know you are Billings? Can't you see?" His fat head pecked at the glass for an Instant. Then he looked at me with eager, batting eyes. He chuckled hoarsely, gurgilngly, and out came the note-book and pencil from his sleeve. "Better and better," he muttered. "Now, if we could only go to him!" about her beauty! Beauty! Poor old Jack! If I had been sad about him before, It was a devilish sight worse now— Worse? Why, dash It, she kissed him! And to see him standing there, kind of batting and rolling his eyes and looking like a girl does when she's trying a strange piece of candy out of the box—oh, it just broke me all up! No wonder he was crazy! Why, dash it, he would have to be crazy! He was muttering to hlmseli. "Remarkable!" I heard. "Singularly sensate and exhilarating! Now, 1 never would have thought—um!" And then he very deliberately took her head between his hands and— kissed her. Then he looked upward thoughtfully and did it again—like a chicken drinks water—you know! And then while we—that is, Jenkins and I—were trying to urge him on, out came the note-book again and he scribbled rapidly, muttering audibly: "Labial osculation—extraordinary stimulation—sensatory ganglia—mucous membrane—" "Police!" I whispered brutally In the frump's ear. "Better let's get him away!" And. by Jove, that woke her out of her trance! In two minutes she had cajoled him to the car and we had him inside on the cushions. We bunched blankets and rugs about him to hide the pajamas. "Jacky, dear," gushed the Chinese freak, "wouldn't you like for me to sit by you and hold your poor hand?" It looked as If he would. The frump turned to me. "Can you drive the car, Mr. Ughtnut?" Could I? Well, I would show her! Especially aa Frances had changed to the front aa she saw us bringing out Billings. l!Take.ihe _traia—getJiUlingjllhlngs from the club," I called to Jenkins. "Sharp* now! Jrnd here, unhookJthat number there on the back—give it here!" Jenkins hesitated. "I think there's a heavy fine, sir," be hinted. 1 snapped my fingers at htm and he jumped to obey. "Worse things than a jolty fine," 1 said, looking at poor Rlllings smiling crazlly over the frump.

Devilish ungrateful, too, for I could see the man, three blocks behind, and still shaking his fist. The way with these pedestrians! At Fifty-ninth street we caromed with a hansom trotting too leisurely across the plaza, and I listened for nearly a block to the remarks of a bicycle cop before he dropped behind. What dashed me not a little was B1U ings' indifference to .the record I was making for his car—didn't seem to care a jolly hang. The frump was still hanging on him in a way to make you sick, and cooing and going on Tn a nervous, half-hysterical way I never would have thought her able to chirp up to.

"He drove down to the village with Senator Soakem, who had to catch a train back to Albany; but I'm looking for him every—" "Be quick, then," Jerked the frump. "You know what to do." "I guess I do, miss," answered the butler gloomily. "I've had to do it often enough—Perkins and me. A good cold souse—that's the thing— and then bed. I know!" Billings waved his hand to the frump as he mounted the stairway Inside. And then, dash it, he kissed his fingers. The frump kind of glared down the deserted vista of the fine old hall and shrugged her shoulders. "Everybody loafing, as usual," she muttered sourly, and she hurled her coat at the carven back of a great cathedral chair—and missed It. It waa clear that her type scorned conventionalities and knew how to make themselves thoroughly at home. "I hope you'll be made comfortable here, Mr. Llghtnut," she Bald, peeling a glove with a jerk, "but I have my doubts." And she gave a kind of hollow laugh.

A pleasant and convenient kitchen Is one in 'which the work may be done with the least possible loss of time and strength, and at the same time he so light, airy and cheery that the time spent there may be Included in the turn of the day's pleasures. A kltehen should be planned by or for the woman who uses it. I am epeaking now of the housewife who does a large part of her own work. No two women would want the furnishings placed in exactly the same way. If could cannot build a new kJtchen and have it Just as you want it, you can at least study the possibilities of the one you have and make some changes that will better suit your convenience. The drawing here shown Is of. a kitchen which was planned by a woman, lived in through imagination for a number of months before It was really built, and has now stood the, test tor six years without undergoing any change* in itself or losing favor with iis mistress. The sink, shelves, table and range are all set rather high, to "Buit a tali woman. The work table and two eb^vee-are -covered^ with zinc,- wnich- 4ng~&aay_. -with..-unsanitary:-6helL_.cov is durable, sanitary and easy to keep clean. In washing dishes, the work all pvoceeds naturally from right to left. The eoiled dishes are neatly packed, on the smaller shelf in the earner. Two dish pans are placed in the sink,-^wfirfch Afford a hot and cold soft water and cold hard water,—the one at tl\e right for washing and the one at the left for rinsing; a draining basket stands at the left on the edge of the long shelf which slants slightly toward the sink. The dishes are wiped, piled on the long shelf and then put away,—the china In the large or corner cupboard In the pantry, and the tinware and kettles in the cupboard underneath the long shelf. A small cupboard IsToulJt on the wall between the pantry and iceroom. This is just above the work table, the top being even with the top of the doors on either side. It has shelves narrow enough to allow of two rows ot brass hooks on the Inside of each door, on which are hung knives, ; spoons, etc. In this cupboard are kept ! spices In small glass cans, sugars in " larger glass cans, tea, coffee, cocoa, postura, breakfast foods, bread crumbs, measuring cups, tea and coffee pots, a box of cards on which are written recipes in common use, and which can be taken out and hung in line with the eyes when needed. At the bottom of the cupboard is a deep drawer {Plowing Under a Green Crop ( on Sandy Soils B y C H. SPURWAY. AM*.

This fact makes the problem of building up and maintaining the fertility of this kind of soil important to most Michigan farntttrtv Some of these soils are lackins in fertility- in their virgin state, and some* have been run down by poor with two compartments for tea an€ hand towels. In the lower part o! the table are receptahles for flours and the table drawer affords space for small utensils which cannot be hung up. On the inside of one door of the tin cupboard referred to is a rack for kettle covers. On the side of the stair steps at the right of the range is hung the soap8tone griddle, a piece of asbestos between it and the wood. Above the smaller shelf, flush with the face of the wall is a small cupboard, the bottom of which Is cemented. In this are kept the flat'irons, which can be put away while still hot, the stove shovel and corn popper. The room is well lighted with the two large windows on ^the north, a large glass in the door of the ice room, and the window at the east in the pantry, which windows give light frpm the left and from the back of the worker. There la no dark corner. The kitchen is finished in Georgia pine, natural color, with maple floor. The ceiling and sides are covered with a light canary colored enamel paint.

There are hooks on the underslde of the shelves of the small cor^ ner cupboard In the pantry for the best tea and sherbert cups. This cupboard has glass doors. The shelves in both cupboards have a narrow cleat about an inch from the back, making a safe place to stand platters, fancy plates, etc. The lower part of the large cupboard is used for storing dry groceries, bread and cookies. The wood box at the back of the stair steps is filled from the platform near the outside basement door, and the wood is taken from it by lifting the second step which is hinged. The shelves in the iceroom are used for the many unclassified articles, and a row of hooks opposite the ice box receive brooms, brushes, etc. While everything in the kitchen and pantry are convenient for immediate use, when not needed they shut in away from the dust. There is no door between the kitchen and pantry nor bet w e e n the kitchen and passageway leading to the basement. The plumbing is cased up Just back of the range, so as to be readily accessible, A detailed description of the above kitchen is given, because one concrete example of a "tested-out" convenient kitchen will be worth more to you In making your own plans, than many theoretical suppositions that may look good on paper. soil puts it in a condition to hold more water. The great absorptive power of organic matter for water causes the water to be taken into the particles and held in the soil. The soil water Is also held closer to the Burface by having a^supply of organic matter in the upper soil layers, and in this position the plant can get a better supply. The leachings, washing, and blowing of sandy soils are prevented to a considerable extent by plowing under a green' crop. These are a few important benefits to the physical condition of sandy soils. One mistake which the farmer is apt to make in plowing under a green crop is to let the crop grow too late in the which will be needed for the succeed' ing°&rbif at a critical period, and often the growth is too much to be plowed under at one time and at that.season. TBe writer has seen fields which have been spoiled for the season in this way, although the danger la greater on heavy than on light soils. It is better to plow under small amounts and do it often, especially when done in the spring and when the season la ^ upon the apt to be dry. , - >, - - ' A P JMJtoV'' ttbe effects prodncefl on sandy soils one thtfr tfodace* the mosttfcooaV .IT i>y. ptawltfr wider * green crop are we plow undexa,c*ofc qf,clover^ofcitwo^ /usually beneficial whetf done under the right conditions.

Since becoming possessed of this enormous fortune she has worked as persistently and asblduouosly In scattering the money as her husband did in gathering it. The scriptures tell us that the miser is the man that "heaps up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them." RusseM Sage kn«w better, and the good lady upon whose shoulders was imposed the burden of this enormous sum of money has worked hard in lightening the burden. Her philanthropies have been productive of as much wisdom as marked her husband's operations iu the market. She is reported to be failing in health, and her task is only begun. Should she be taken from the world thousands will regret her departure, and it Is very earnestly to be hoped that further care of the property will fall Into good bands. Less and Less.

After the first few doses I showed a markes improvement and after taking twS/ bottles I was entirely cured. I have been perfectly well for years an4 cannot praise Dr. Miles' Nervine too highly," If you are troubled with lose of appetite, poor digestion, weakness, inability to sleep; if you are in a general run down condition and unable to bear your part of the daily grind of life, you need something to strengthen your nerves. You may not realize what is the matter with you, but that is no reason why you should delay treatment. D r .

It is working the fiddle-strings of popular applause for all they are worth. The man who, refusing to play to the galleries, goes on doing the best he knows how, acting from a sincere mo- :lve. suffers some disparagement. He Soes apt s,u|ce,ed often In getting the worldVJ4ty«*««Ql^*, t b e .! wBy* ^ wherefores of his action/ because Mt s not in line wUh what at the time :he world regards as proper, Bays the Umaha Bee. Th* trufh Is, words are overvalued In the mart of public discussion and deeds pay the penalty of ;he' shorts. There is too much watered stock in one and too little attention to the intrinsic value of the , other. "Words are good and only so when hacked by deeds." That is the maxim of the man with a motive to hinge his "mistake" upon, however unfairly some of the old friends of this truism may be treating It An ancient wise man phrased the same principle another way: "For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he." He who moves from the standpoint of stern conviction may make mistakes. but..he is a much safer man to follow than the one who trains his wireless to catch the currents of 'Popular thought You can buy an almanac now for a penny or lesa, and a tradesman will send you one with his compliments for nothing, but the first printed specimen published at Nuremberg, in 1476, wr.c thought such a wonderful thing that it WSB sold at ten golden crowns a copy—more than its weight in gold. The first English printed almanac was the "ShepheardB' Kalendar," translated from the French, and printed by Richard Pynson In 1497, and the first popular almanac of the "Old Moore" type was the "Pronoa- 1-ya.ryrm nf MayRter John T h y ^ u l t , medycyner and astronomer of the Emperyall Majestic of the yeare of our Lorde MCCCCCXXXIJ." Besides prophesying "wars, revolutions and the death of kings," that early almanac told you the proper day to take phyBlc. Monday was the day for ailmentB of the legs, Tuesday for affections of the head, etc. But what the unfortunte sufferer waa to do who bad a pain on the wrong day it does not state, says the Ixmdon Chronicle. You must take pains at the proper time. That some of the men who were rescued from, the Titanic were less heroic than those who went down with the ship is a moderate way of putting an unpleasant truth. Mrs. Hfppach of Chicago, one of the women survivors, said that *he boat in which she and her daughter was saved contained 31 women and two men, one of the latter being a Spaniard who carried a poodle dog in his arms. The women, who were rowing, asked him to take an oar and help, but ne said he couldn't as he had to mind his dog. U '• *. For the first time in the history of the world, airships have been used as war machines. The Italian dirigibles which wiped out a Turkish camp by bombs dropped from above, themselves out of range, indicate what a terrible thing the war of the near futrue will be with all the engines of destruction made possible by new inventions and new resources. On* Uttle*-Geraan 4owit alone does an annual business in*toys aggregating $4,000,000 In value. Amusing the little ones 1B more of a serious business enterprise than many think. In fact, it ranter among the trades of vast proportions. And it is safe to say that Its products give more solid satisfaction in the world than those of most any other manufacture. flSHf AMINE P E | Use of brawls ts Safft to Make This Really1 Possible.

Congress May Sanction the Parole of Federal Life Prisoners—Superintendent of House Press Gallery Proves Himself a Veteran. By UEORQE CLINTON. Washington.—Representative Gardner' of the Sixth district of Maasa« chuaetts acted as a Bhowman before an audience in the bureau of the coaBt and geodetic survey the other day. He presented a series of moving pictures, one of which showed a French fishing schooner In the North Sea dragging up flBh by means of what are called otter trawls. There is a movement to give legislative force to an international agreement which will prevent the use of trawls of this kind by fishermen. Tho trawls go down deep, the object being to catch big flBh, but in their operation it is said they kill thousands of small fish and unless their use be prohibited, it Is possible, even probable, It is eald, that the world before many years would be confronted with a famine in sea food. It is Bald that if this should come the problem of feeding the world would become one absolutely unsolvable. The house of representatives has passed a bill, which also has been favorably reported »y a senate committee, to allow the paroling of United States prisoners, who are serving life sentences, at the expiration of the fifteenth year of their imprisonment. Recently there has been a movement In many of the states to extend the parole laws to men serving life sentences and as has been marked in a number of instances recently, the government seems to be inclined to follow examples set by the individual states. As things are at present, a man who is sentenced by a federal court to life imprisonment has only two chances of having his liberty restored, one by bringing forward incontro. v eftlble vp r.o of th.a t he, -was- tef.t o.e e, ni-l o^a"nUxin,he^a«a^, "^^S«lXab^awim~r^:—r^S^e1n1a«to•r „—« A*u,g,r*r*C*a* and was sentenced under a m stake, and the other by the pardon of the president. Story About Charles H. Mann, Not long ago In one of these dispatches there was a short sketch of Col. Charles H. Mann, superintendent of the house press gallery. As was said then, Mr. Mann has been looking after the interests of Washington correspondents for so many years that he has virtually forgotten when his service began. The other day Louis Brownlow of Tennessee, a Washington correspondent, made a discovery* Mr. Brownlow had been going through the files of old newspapers in the library of congress. H© walked over to the. press gallery and said that In a copy of the Harrisburg Keystone of 1839 he had found mention of the fact that Charles H. Mann had Just been appointed postmaster in the town of Doylestown, Pa. The superintendent of the press gallery overheard what Brownlow said and Instantly speaking up said: "What did you say waa the name of the town in which my namesake was appointed postmaster?" "Dolyestown, Pa.," said Brownlow. "Now, I am going to prote to you that I am the man mentioned in that report," said Mr. Mann. The corresppndents know that Mr. Mann is a veteran, but they were all fairly sure that he never had been appointed postmaster In any place in the year 1839. Made Himself Out Ninety-Four. Mr. Mann went over to his office and in a few minutes returned with a commission made out to Charles K. Monn as postmaster at Doylestown, Pa., in the year 1839. It -was signed by Ames Kendall, secretary of the treasury. Mr. Mann showed the commission triumphantly. The correspondents took out their pencils and worked out a problem, the result of which showed that if their gallery superintendent, Charles H. Mann, had been appointed postmaster at Doylestown, Pa., in 1839, when he must have been at least twenty-one years old in order to be commissioned, be today had reached the age of ninety-four. Then it was that ••Charlie" Mann explained that his namesake who had been postmaster under the Jackson administration was his father and that be had kept the commission as a fanv ily heirloom. Titanic Memorial Progresses, Yhe movement started in Wash* ingtOn to raise money for a memorial to those who perished fh the Titanic disaster with special intention to honor the heroic manhood shown on that occasion is progressing rapidly. The plan of the "Women's Titanic Memorial," aa the organisation is called, bai received a peculiarly warm welcome i s the capital. One of the'reason* of this M that to no other single American community1 was the horror of the disaster brought more closely home. MtJ Archibald W Butt, aid to President Taft, was unquestionably the beat known and perhaps the most popular figure in all social •vents here, but the manner of bit death and the tribute which was paid by surviving women to his labors on their behalf in the last hour on board the Tltanio have proved that he had every Quality of a soldier, a man and a hero. The late Frank D. Millet held a place in the art circles of Washington which hardly can be filled. It is believed that thetrHmts paid by Senator Lodge to Mr. Millet at a recent memorial service will remain aa his moat lasting "»rlU«n monument." Women's Tribute to Manhood. The**memorial,, such/ a» tb^ women promoters propose, will add to the capital a-teature of art of&klnd of which Washington possesses few. There are monumentB and statues here by hundreds, but oaly a few of them exploit any phase of human life except military glory. The present endeavor has for Its object something which will commemorate "the bravery and 84 ^-sacrifice of men who far at eea on a starlit night stepped aside to die tbr* women might live," It also will commemorate the devotion of one woman who preferred to Btay with her husband to Bhare death with him, and of another woman who stepped aside and gave a seat in the lifeboat to a woman who had children awaiting her at home. The plan for the memorial was conceived by women and Is being carried forward by women. Mrs. John Hay, widow of the former great secretary of state, is president of the association and Mrs. John Hayes Hammond, wife of the famous mining engineer, is its secretary, Mrs. Helen H. Taft, wife of the president of the United States, started the memorial fund by giving the first dollar. The wife of the vice-president of the United States, Mrs. Sherman, has pledged herself to obtain a contribution of one dollar from each of one thousand women. Rucker's Novel Dinner. A dinner which was in a sense a commemorative service was given here on the night of Memorial day by Representative A. W. Rucker of Colorado, who in the days of his youth was a Boldier in the army of the Confederacy. Mr. Rucker was the hqst tc 12 men in official position in the United StateB, most of them members of one or the other branch of congress, who wore the gray in the years from '61 to 'C5. Never before this has anything oi the kind been attempted in Washington. It Is regarded here as a most graceful way of commemorating the northern Mumorlal day by veterans of the south. The guests were Chief Justice Edward D. White of the United States Supreme court, Louisiana; Associate Justice Horace. H. Lurton, Tenuessee; Senator John H INCIDENTS BEFORE THE BIG REPUBLICAN OONTfcST IN TH£ COLISEUM AT CHICAGO Chicago, June 10*—Th«» -chief duty of tbfe>. Chicago potei clerk Ju»t now Is to pqlnt out. the political celebrities. It has been necessary to describe big men of the convention for persons seeking them BO many times that John Burk, head clerk of the Annex, can give finest identifying details of attire and build of a statesman in a moment. A great part of the population of the hotel consists of newspaper, magazine, and free lance photographers. Twelve snapBhotters were in an arc about Senator J. M. Dixon of Montana, Colonel Roosevelt's manager, when he consented to be photographed on his arrival. Before the senotor reached the hotel on Wednesday two men had been led out on Michigan avenue by the camera squad In the belief that each of the accommodating strangers was the Montanan. One photographer would be "tipped off" that "the tall, white haired man in the Panama is Senator Dixon." . The stranger at once would be Invited out in the street for different poses In the sun. Of the two cases of mistaken Identity one was A. B. Butler of Washington, a Taft camp aid. It is Baid the other was a Boston linen salesman. He did not deny he was Senator Dixon, and posed graciously with and without his hat and facing in different advantageous angles. A New One From Texas. Col. Cecil Lyon of the Texas delegation, and an irrespressible supporter' of Roosevelt, had a new story to tell to take the place of his old one about the cataclysm in Yoakum county, Texas, where a Democratic county convention instructed for Roosevelt, causing Wilson supporters to bolt. "I was walking down the street with Charles Hilles in Washington the other day," began Colonel Lyon, after some one had said President Taft's secretary had arrived at the Blackstone hotel. "A small delivery wagon passed," the colonel continued. "I looked up and saw four large volumes stacked on top with the titles facing us. Three of the books were reports of the Retus 0. Bacon, Georgia; Senator Joseph P. Johnson, Alabama; Senator John R. Thornton, Louisiana; Senator Thomas B, Catron, New Mexico; and Representatives William Richardson, Alabama; George W.

Th- dinner was given in the apartments of Representative Rucker in the Rochamboau. While this was a reunion of Confederate veterans, there were no deccrations of Confederate flags. Tfce orly flag was the "Stars and Stripes" which hung above the head of the table. Chief Justice White of the Supreme court at the request of the host acted as toastmaster. Each guest hat" a story to tell of the Civil war, including some of his personal experiences. There were no outsiders present to hear the old soldiers fight their battles over. The chief Justice of the United States was a private in the Confederate army and sa was his colleague of the bench, Mr. Justice Lurton. Lurton served with General Buckner and was present at Fort Donelson when it was captured by General Grant. Lurton was amoag the prisoners. He was only a boy at that time and the chanceB are that the northern general had no thought that among the men whom he had captured after they had made a heroic resistance was a future Justice of th* Supreme court. Thlc reunion ai Confederates was intentionally set for the National Memorial day as s. tribute of the south to the heroes of the Federal army against whom the guests of the reunion fought for four long years on many battle fields.

Good Nature the Rule. Good nature is the rule among all of the national committeemen and delegates. None is too haraased by puzzling political entanglements to deny any one a sm^le and handshake. "An old crab has lots of luck in this game—I. don't think!" laughed Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's manager, after he had passed out a dozen pulsating hand grasps. Then he walked over to former Senator DIck—Taft contest director—In the lobby of national committee headquarters at the Coliseum annex and slapped him on the back. u ,Lol" said Mr. Dixon. "Right back at you, senator," smjled Mr. Dick. Those who were near the two chiefs of the hostile camps could hear a boyish "Joe" and "Charley" being exchanged at times. They were like old college chums. Friendly eye twinkling scenes between chiefs and HeutenantB and subalterns of the opposing forces were common. One noteworthy meeting that started amicably and ended in a torrid argument was between Joseph Keallng of Indiana and Congressman Lucius C. Littauer of New York. Importance of the Bell Boys. tfne bell boys of the big hotels have been pressed into service for all sorts of duties. They not only carry Ice water and life preservers to the various headquarters and rooms of delegates, but also Berve in the capacity of page, "state house messenger," marshal of delegations, office boy, introducer, and general headquarters attache. There are hundreds of different documents to be exchanged between headquarters, with verbal explanations to go to the men in charge. "Here's the list of delegates from Alabama with the Twenty-third district left out," a delegation chief explains to the boy in buttons.

It is said his only reason for wearing so much hair is to conceal a bad scar on the back of his head received in an accident in his youth. Mr. Borah, like Jonah K. Kalanianaole, Hawaiian delegate, has a round, chubby, Buster Brown type of physiognamy. His dignity, however, Is such that none would think of calling him "Cupid"—and that is the brown skinned islander's nickname in congress. Has His Name on $5 Bill. A southern delegate was much excited over the appearance of a tall negro at the Coliseum annex who figured in several conferences. "Have you a $5 bill?" asked a^frlend. When the currency was produced the friend called attention to the signature of the registrar of the treasury, Judson Lyon, "That same dark person over there Is Judson Lyon, delegate from Georgia," was the explanation.

In another portion of the garden eight hills of Kentticky wonder beans were planted late in the summer in a circle about four •0>%'i **** i n diameter. Eight superannu- **''iilv-*ted sunflower stalks nine to ten feet £'t t * l l were tied together by their tops to act as supports. An old can filled ^ith fine, well-rotted manure and watered every other day was sunk in the center of the circle. The beans ran to the top of their supports and until frost came yielded a very liberal sup* ply for a small family. In the case of tbe cannas several barrels of water and countless adjectives were used. In the case of the beans a pailful every other day.

First of all, the soil must be well drained and prepared sufficiently deep so that the rootu may reach deep into the subsoil. Second, the surface soil must be cultivated frequently and a rotation ef cover crops and catch crops employed BO that a sufficient amount of plant food will be made available to promote a rapid, healthy growth rather than forcing the growth of the trees by the UBC of manures and fertilisers rich in nitrogen. In some rare instances the soil may be deficient in plant food, and the intelligent use of mineral plant foods will prove very beneficial. It is when the orohards begin to produce large crops of fruit that the demands for plant food must be met if profitable crops of superior fruit are secured. At this time the roots of the trees have taken possession of practically all of tbe soil, and have utilized the larger portion of the available plant food so that the addition of manure or fertiliser is essential. The function of the soil in furnishing the trees with nourishment is an exceedingly complex one, and there are certain well-defined laws that must be kept in mind for improvement and maintenance of the fertility of the soil that is occupied by the trees. Some orchardists advocate sod mulch, others depend upon cultivation and the liberal use of fertilizers and barn manures, others cover crops and mineral fertilizers as a means of improving and maintaining the fertility of orchard soils. The fact that no two soils required the same line of treatment has caused a confusion of ideas in the management of orchard soils.

Standing at the very gates of the nation's capital the memorial seemed a giguntic magnet drawing a representative throng from every corner of America. One hundred thousand visitors crowded within the city, according to the estimates of committees conducting the ceremonies. Half of that number were" members of tbe Knights of Columbus, gathered from near and far to give tribute to the patron of their order. President Taft spoke his praises of the man who made the United States possible. In recollection of the allegiance of Columbus to the king of Italy, the Marquis Cusani Gonfalonier!, tbe Italian ambassador at Washington, unveiled the memorial by releasing two huge American flags, whose folds clung to the granite shaft and marble statue of Columbus surmounting the fountain. A mammoth pageant of military splendor and civic simplicity accompanied tbe unveiling ceremonies. Simultaneously with the beginning of the exercises the parade formed in front of tbe White House, moved along the broad expanse of Pennsylvania avenue and the Union station, before which the memorial is erected. Massed about President Taft on the stands surrounding the memorial were members of the cabinet and con- ••gTess^"~^sttces_Tff_^the"'"sTipreme""''"c^"uTT and practically the entire diplomatic corps. Mgr. Thos. A. Shahan, rector of the Catholic university, opened the ceremonies with an invocation; Justice Victor J.

Saturday gave him 4«> more, six in Arkansas, 12 in Florida and 28 In Georgia. Roosevelt workers have agreed tacitly to let the national committee make all possible speed with the southern contests, demanding! only that enough time be taken to admit of putting the cases on record, so that they may be brought before the credentials committee of the convention.

That the whole theory of penal codes is practically unsound and opposed to tbe modern conceptions of the relation of the state to crime, is the contention of Eugene Smith of the New York bar, writing in the May number of Case and Comment, the lawyers' magazine. Illustrating the absurdity and disparity between penalty for crimes In different states, Mr. Smith says: "The average sentence for perjury in Florida is ten years, in Maine one year; for larceny, in Delaware ten years, in tbe District of Columbia ten months; the penalty for arson in Pennsylvania is twice that of burglary, but In Connecticut the guilt of burglary is twice that of arson; the guilt of counterfeiting in Ohio is twice that of perjury, but in Rhode Island tbe guilt of perjury is twice tbat of counterfeiting. •B c In the Growth of Corn there's a period when the kernels are plumped out with a vegetable milk, most nutritious.

BARNARD ESTABLISH LIBRARY School Districts Can Secure Money From the County School districts, which have not already done BO are orged by the department of Public Instruction to consider the establishment of a library at the annual school meeting to be held Monday July 8, A majority vote of the electors present will carry the proposition which does not cost the district one cent of money. Establishment of a library merely means that the school district will receive its share of the library fund which is made up of the penal fines paid to the county. As soon as a school district votes to establish a library, tbe township board must give to the district its share of books in the township library and of library money on hand. Thereafter the district will receive its share of library appointment, this being based upon the number of children on the census roll. A well selected library is recognized by present day educators as the most valuable school equipmet possible. fax m Fresh Oranges Fresh Batianas Fresh Pineapples Fresh Strawberries Fresh Lemons New Cabbage New Tomatoes Full Cream Cheese Country Gentleman Cora, none bet* ler—10c can Early June Peas, 16c Aztec Crackers, 10c» National Biscuit Co's.

The time limit for such enrollment is June 27, on or before which date application for enrollment should be made to the township clerk. The advent of the primary election system makes it a duty incumbent on every good citizen to avail himself of the elective franchise at the primary, as well as at the general election, and all who fail to enroll and thus qualify themselves for the discharge of that duty are falling short of their moral obligation as citizens of the commonwealth. A large proportion of country electors were enrolled at the time of the annual spring election, but if you are not among this numoer you should not neglect to enroll before the legal time limit has expired. ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Fftt-Carpter Married at St.Jacob's church in Lennox, Wednesday, June 19, at 1:30 p. m.

Hut her claws raked on: "I tell you you just can't be familiar with grooms and hail-fellow-well-met with footmen without demoralizing them—and that's what Prancla does." She Jerked this out viciously, and while I gasped, went op: "You know very well, Mr. Llghtnut, If you play cards and drink and carouse with your men-servants until two or three o'clock In the morning, you can't reasonably look for respect from them." She breathed heavily. "The trouble Is, Francis has no self-respect—no pride!" { "By Jove, If I were you, Miss— V.T— " Dash me If I hadn't forgotten •her name! "If you feel that way, I don't see why the de— H'm! I mean why do you stay on here and—er— sacrifice yourself?" I drawled this m the most devilish sarcastic way! "I'd pack my jolly trunk and get as far away as I could." I added earnestly—coaxlngly: "And stay away, you know!" And I took a deep breath, for 1 expected to see her wilt or go straight up In the air. I knew It was a -tossup for either. Not she! She Just twisted a sour Amtle at me. "Ummh!" she grunted. "Perhaps} you don't fcnow that Francis has suggested that to me several times— frankly and rudely—when I have complained. That may surprise you," "Dare say you've put up with Frances though for Jack's sake!" I let her have it coldly, deliberately. "Brother Jack has been a port of compensation— that's it. eh?" And I shot Iter a foxy wink! That is, I. almost did—pulled up, though, JuBt 0¾ the brink. By Jove, gave me cold marrows for an instant, thinking- £pw; I, might have compromised «ajr«elf. you know.

"It's «11 right, miss," Wilkes reported; "at least, I hope so. Perkins is with him—we've been trying to persuade him to have a bath and lie down. But I don't know—" He shook his head gloomily, then turned to me. "If you will come with me, sir—" Then he added, and it seemed a question: "You must have made a quick run, sir. Seems like only a lew minutes since t,we got Mr, Jack's 'phone message. His voice dropped: "From the station bouse, you know." "Eh—what's that?" I paused with my foot on the first tread of the stairway. "Jack's 'phone message— from the station house?" I repeated blankly. "What are yoa talking about?" Wilkes coughed reproachfully. "Why,- you know, sir, he told about being arrested In front of the Kahoka Apartments. He mentioned that it was about—h'm!" He stole a furtive backward glance at the frump, but she was enjoying herself berating a fat girl she addressed as "Flora." He looked at me eloquently and whispered: "About his—h'm—stealing some black silk pajamas." My monocle dropped, and I almost } did myself. "By Jove!" I gasped feebly. "Yes, sir." Wilkes looked up at the paneled celling and stroked his chin. "He mentioned that they found them—or thought they found them in the bag he had with him." "But he's got them on, and they are his own," I managed to get out. Wilkes' face lightened understanding^. "Oh-h, I see, sir," he said, nodding with his jolly chin hanging; "so that's how you got him off—I was awondering!" He looked at me, his fishy old eyes twinkling admiration. "Very neat, If I may say, sir—making, as It were, a sort of alibi—very neat, indeed! Of course, when they puts 'em on him, they see for themselves they are hls'n, and not any lady's what had been stolen— Oh, I see!" Dash me, If I did! The only thing I saw was that It must have been Jenkins that had telephoned and the message bad been twisted. What he had said, of course, was that Billings had almost been arrested. But the police finding the pajamas In his bag —I did not like that. Could it be that. after all, Billings had found his sister's pajamas in the guest-room and had quietly confiscated them? it looked devilishly, ominously like It! Or perhaps he, himself, had recovered them from Foxy Grandpa, and with more delicacy than I thought him capable of, had kept the whole matter to himself. One thing only was certain: the sleuth hounds of the law, stimulated by the extravagant reward I had offered over the telephone, had run down and recovered her pajamas. It was a relief that they were out.of his hands, anyttow—£ qould get thim again, but he couldn't.', By Jove! Alone fn my room, I stood before the mirror, hands An pockets and rocking on my toes—kind of smiling, you know—and thinking what a daredevil, reckless thing it had been— clever, too, dash it—in getting them away from old Jack, and* right under hla nose. By Jove, I felt a bit proud about It—sort of exultation, don't you know—and I had just got off a wink at myself, when Wilkes appeared again. "Pardon, sir, for disturbing yoo^but Mr. BfHtngs is acting so queer, we are afraid to cross him; and he Just insisted I take his message to you at once." "Message?" I repeated, sobering. "Yes, sir—something about some pajamas—" "Pajamas?" I faltered, and I dropped into a chair. "Ob!" W|lkes looked grave. "Pajamas •8ti'*to be the thing with him tola "How >ou do understand!" she I time, sir—it's the queerest go! That's trrooned onblushlngly, and she leaked! a new one, that is!"

I suggested nervously. "I was just a-comlcg to that, sir. tie atkt roe if 1 kaeir whether you were still on tke place; aad when i said you were, he says to me kinder excited and Impressive ilka: 'Well, you go to him at once—at once—and tell him I'm on the trail ol the mystery of those pajamas, and I'll soon know as much about 'em as he does. Just tell him that—he'll know what i mean." "Oh!" I gaaped shortly. "Yes, sir," Wilkes nodded, "but that ain't quite all. He says: 'Tell Mr. Llghtnut that when I first saw those pajamas in hla rooms—'" Wilkes paused inquiringly. "Did you say something, sir?" I had not—I had only groaned! He went on, repeating as by rote: " 'When I found and took them away, I was curious and amused, but skeptical— flrmly skeptical—of there being any dark mystery about them. But now I know 1 let myself be deceived and I mean to get at the bottom of the whole thing.' " Wilkes seemed to kind of waver and fade before me, and then go out like a candle. Then he came back Into view, and I heard his voice again: " 'And what's more, you tell him 1 say—'" The butler hesitated and seemed smbarraBsed—his heavy jowls reddened a little. He looked beyond me and coughed. "Of course, you know, sir," he said, shifting uneasily, "Mr. Billings ain't exactly himself, so to speak, so you mustn't mind. Fact Is—if I may say so—he's got the most considerable case of jimmies I ever see him with, so—" "Oh, go on!" I breathed miserably. "Yes, sir—h'm!" Wilkes heaved distressfully, then drove doggedly ahead: "Oh, well, sir, what he says was that It was bis duty, he thought, to tell the family the truth about those pa what's-its-name—reaction, you know. So fee had known! He had known when he let me come to Wolhurst, and had waited for the moment when he would have me under his roof and be able utterly to confound me. This, then, explained his mental condition, his relapse to drink again—his madness on the subject of pajamas. It was awful! CHAPTER X X I I . I Speak to Her Father. "So glad to see you here, my boy," the judge was saying. And his little round face beamed at me across the library table. I had encountered him in the hall Just as I had descended to rejoin the girls In the llvtng-room. Forthwith, he elbowed me into the library. "Know from Jack how glad you always are to escape girls," he remarked cheerily as he produced cigars. "Don't blame you at all—In fact, do ydu know it refreshes me to find—" Don't know what dashed thing it refreshed him to find, for I never caught it. For just then through the doorway there floated, from across the hall, a bar of music—the laugh of the dearest girl In the world! I strained for another bar. "Hah!" ejaculated the judge, pausing with questioning uplift of cigar. "The silly cackle of those girls—it disturbs you. Yes, it does—I can see It—you look disturbed." And, dash it, he insisted upon closing the door. "You mustn't let them bother you while you are here," he urged pleas- Jamas, so that they would know that J antly; "you must Just go ahead and do the man they were harboring under their roof wasn't what be seemed to be." His gaze bored higher over my head, his voice tapering off so faintly I could hardly hear. But I heard all right! Oh, yes, I got the full devilish force of it; but i couldn't speak. My dry lips touched wordlessly and I hunched deep into the hollow of the big leather rocker. Wilkes coughed again. I winced— there was evidently more! "Yes, sir," he murmured, as I cut a quick glance upward. "He did say further that If you weren't satisfied, though, and would prefer another trial—" "Eh?" I bounded out of the chair. "What's that? Oh, dash It, yes—I would, by Jove!" "Very good, sir." Wilkes looked relieved, himself. "In that case, he said he was willing to experiment again—that was his word—experiment. He said he wouldn't detain you the thing you want to do.' By Jove, there seemed little opportunity for it! "Thanks awfully," I murmured feebly. The Judge proceeded genially: "Of course we all understand that you just came up to Wolhurst to please Jack." Then his face clouded. "H'm! Sorry to learn that he came home with another—" his eyes rolled through a circle—-"er—la not feeling Just fit. It's too bad, for I wanted some one to take you over the neighborhood—interesting landmarks, you know, reminiscent of Major Andre and Washington Irving." "Charmed, I'm sure," I chirped up. Jolly lie, though, for I wasn't Impressed; didn't know who the other fellow was, but I bad seen Irving In London—Bcores of times. Not a potch on John Drew to my thinking! '" "And now, let's see," said the Judge. "I wonder who we can get to take "Of Course You Know, Sir/ here on his account, but be would have to ask yon to stay anotber day or twb while he made bis observations." It was a devilish cold shoulder, but I bad no choice. Fact was, by Jove, I was so jolly glad for that chance, and for being trusted again by tunings. ' even In this half-hearted way, that I just ground my pride, under my heel—why, dash it. 1 would have ground anything under my' heel for her! I was as happy as a bird, and life was again one grand, sweet what's-lts-name. Aad then I just flopped down upon a divan and lay there panting like a I you!" His fingers drummed together thoughtfully. "Urn, of course, there is Francis—" my heart took a lolly leap —"but Francis Is impossible—quite impossible!" "By Jove, no!" I ejaculated eagerly, and I came up in my chair like a galvanlgad, what>-it#-name. "Just the thing—be delighted, you know." He smiled grimly. "Natural you should say that, bat—" He expectorated with deliberation, glowering at f me as he did It. "No, sir!" Hla head shook with decision. "Wouldn't do— I wouldn't think of trusting yen with Francis,'* he finished shortly.' (TQ SB COWTTNUKDO LAPEER HIT BY BUSINESS BLOCK V I R T U A L L Y DESTROYED AND S E V E R A L FIRMS 3 U F F E R .

Mrs. Amos Rood was bystling happily about tier neat kitchen, her pleasant face even more beaming than usual. "Amos is sixty years old today," she explained to the milkman from whom she bought a half-pint of cream besides the customary pint of milk, "an' I'm goin' to get an extra nice dinner." The 32 o'clock whistle had sounded. The. peach meringue pie which was to be the crowning touch of the feast had been brought from the pantry and set upon a side table; the roast chicken was done to a turn; the tomato bisque was realty to pour into the tureen, and asVweryv housewife knows *atomato blague will curdle if allowed to stand.***.. ''{feytfph Amos would come," the little^on&n fluttered. "That cream o' tomato won't be fit to eat." Glancing uneasily out of the window ahe started, at sight of a curiously familiar, yet unfamilla|, figure coming slowly up the street. Sure that bowed, bent old man could not be Amos! He had never looked like that, even when his rheumatism was at its worst. But the next Instant she had flung open the door and was running down the garden walk. "Oh, what 1s it—what ails you, Amos?" she cried, putting her arms about him to help him up the steps. "Don't be scared, Lucy—I ain't sick," the man said, with a brave attempt at a reassuring smile. But once under the shelter of his own roof, safe from prying or pitying neighborly eyes, Amos Rood broke down ^altogether. Sinking into a chair be dropped his head upon the little table, BO gayly decked In honor of the day with tea-roses and heliotrope from the garden bedB, and Mrs. Rood's Found the Solitude He Craved. cherished "wedding" china, and his big, shrunken frame shook with a man's painful, tearless sobs. His wife silently unclasped his clenched fingers from a letter which bibre the seal of a great corporation, and as she swiftly scanned the few cart lines it contained she wailed aghast:. .. CO Amos, it must be a mistake! The company wouldn't take your pension from 7ou_Just because you, are abie to earn a little something extra, now and then?" "It's the new manager, Lucy," Amos Rood responded dully. "He's trying to cut* expenses, and be «aye< It's no part of( the company's policy to pension able-be4#d men." >.- ; ^ V "Able-bodied!" the little woman eetooed, with a hysterical laugh.

"I'd, like *to know if,5*oiv wa'n'i.t hepj. alMhpS||. years in a damp, underground office and not allowed half the help you'd ought to have had?" "Well, well, Lucy," the man said pacifically. "The company was good to me that time I had typhoid, ten years ago. Didn't I get three months' leave- of absence with full- pay and passeB for us both so we could take a nice trip?" "Three months' leave in twenty-five years!" moaned Mrs. Rood. "And now that new manager's going to take away your pension. Oh, I know you think I'm awful, Amos, but I Just hate that grasping, greedy old company that works its men to death Just the way it does its poor horses, so's to save a little more money!" "It'.hurts, me to hear you talk like that, Lucy," Amos Rood protested loyally. "The company does the best it can—it has troubles of its own." "Well, I won't say another word if you don't want I should, Amos," the little woman promised, brushing the angry tears from her eyes. "I ain't afraid but we'll get along some way. It Just made me mad to think how little the company seemed to appreciate how honest and faithful you've been. Now you come and wash up and eat your birthday dinner before it's all spoiled." But though Amos Rood valiantly attempted to do Justice to the little feast, it was evident to the anxious wife who watched him that the dainty viands that she had prepared with such care were as dust and ashes to his palate. He looked stunned and bewildered by the unexpected blow which had been dealt him, and as he pushed back his chair from the table, he said slowly: "I'd calculated to finish up that Job of Brown's this afternoon, but when I got that letter I sent 'em word not to expect me—I didn't feel equal to tacklin' figures today. But I'll paint them storm-doojs you wanted done, Lucy. It'll be quiet out there In thjp barn, and I—I want to think things over." Mrs. Rood looked after him wistfully. "I guess maybe he would be better byhinrsetfr" she thought humbly. "I wouldn't wonder if my everlastln' gabble bothered him some when he's got things he wants to think over. Well, I'll fly around and straighten up so't will look pleasant to him when he comes In, an' maybe if I was to fix that chicken into a scallop he'd relish it for supper. Hfe didn't eat scarcely a mite o' dinner." But although Amos Rood had found the solitude he craved, there was something terrifying to him In the emptiness of the great barn, and as he resolutely set himself to the task of painting the "storm doors" he had mentioned, he began to wish vaguely that old Dolly were still alive to stamp her iron shod feet and to nicker to him socially from her stall. Then, with a sudden pang, he realized that he was glad that the old horse who had been his and Lucy'r frfiend and companion for so many years, had died last month, for how could he have brought himself to sell her when their little home was broken up? The . brush dropped* from his nerveless hand as he muttered, yes, it would eorhei to that! Lucy said that they would manage some way, but Lucy, with all her cheery common sense and thrift, bad a woman's ignorance -of the grim fact that two and two always make four, and never' by any chance five or six. Perhaps, by selling their little place and Irving on the proceeds they might manage Co* keep together for a few years more, but the end was lnevitabre. SHcme'r or later Lucy would be obliged to go to the well-to-do sister who had never attempted to conceal her conviction that the pretty, energetic girl might have done better than to marry Amos Rood. As for him, there would be nothing left but the shelter of the county poor house. ""• Something~seemed to snap in * the man's brain. Why shouldn't he quietly get out of it all, while there was still something to keep Lucy from entire dependence on a woman like prosperous, self-satisfied Jane Thorn? She would, mourn for him he knew, hut death is easier to bear than some other things. Suddenly lie paused, arrested in his grim preparations for the deed on Which he was resolved. "Amos! Amos!" his wife was calling. Ten, yes, Ave moments more and he would have been forever deaf to,that tender voice, and Lucy would have come and found him—he shuddered with a sick repulsion. He had been •elfish—cowardly—mad—! But Lucy's light feet were running along the garden paths and she was calling again: "Amosi . Oh, Amos* do please hurry!" The man. stumbled blindly to the door. The next Instant he was standing in the warm sunlight he ^ad never thought to feel Again* witff'f Lucy's arm:, about his heck; her happy tears upon his cheek. "Oh, Amos," she was bubbling joy* ously, "the general superintendent himself Is in the house! It's perfectly lovely to hear him swear.

His little face was covered with sores even to back of his ears. The poor little fellow suffered very much. The sores began as pimples, his little face was disfigured very much. We hardly knew what he looked like. The face looked like raw meat. We tied little bags of cloth over his hands to prevent him from scratching. He was very restless at night, his little face Itched. "We consulted two doctors at Chicago, where we resided at that time. After trying all the medicine of the two doctors without any result, we read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at once bought Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Following the- directions carefully and promptly we saw the result, and after four weeks, the dear child's face WRB as fine and clean as any little baby's face. Every one who saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura Remedies was surprised. He has a head of hair which is a pride for any boy of his age, three years.

The Dexter, although derived from the same stock, is quite different, being thick and blocky, and in eolor may be either black or red. Both of these cattle are particularly goed "dairy cows, doing well in moderate feeding and giving surprisingly large quantities of milk, 'very rich. Many Kerries give quite as rich milk as is produced by the Jersey. Tbe Kerry doee not fatten kindly until ahe has reached full age, but the Dexter may be fattened younger. Doea Silage Affect the Flavor? Have you noticed anything differ* «sat in the flavor of the milk since you began feeding silage? If tfiere is any change at all the flavor will be a little more pleasant, says 0. B. Reed, head of the dairy department at the Kansas State Agricultural college.

CAVlSpLY, P^b. - ' • MICHIGAN , V' TUBERCULOSIS OPEN-AIR CURE. The great war against the "white plague" hag had . marked results, chiefly through the employment of out-of-door treatment -While it is only comparatively recent that this treatment has become general, It has been advocated for over twenty-five years right hero in Philadelphia, and many persons who suffer from consumption ajid are taking the "home treatment" sleep in tents or inclosed porches, says the Philadelphia Capital. Benjamin Franklin, in bis numerous researches, learned many elemental truths, which be banded down to posterity in his Writings. He declared that disease does not come from pure or cold air, but from draughts and the uneven exposure of the person to icy blasts. It Is bis theory which is in a large measure responsible for the present method of treating pneumonia patients at the Jefferson hospital. The ward on the roof Is an innovation and is largely in the nature of an experiment It* permanency will be decided by the number of cures effected. SOJ far the proportion of recoveries has t>een so great and the fatalities so small that the physicians in charge hesitate to give out the figures, lest they be thought to be exaggerating. This is especially encouraging, because of the unusual fatal course so many cases of pneumonia have taken this winter. Mr. HeHer Could 4Yot T i n i Any Bullet Hole in It. SAYS IT DIED OF APOPLEXY Young men who have completed the courses of study prescribed in the University of Wisconsin's College of Agriculture are in demand at good salaries, according to the statistics of the college, Bays the Chicago Record-Herald. When the university closed in 1911 the demand for agricultural graduates could not be supplied and all the members of the year's class had found places at salaries ranging from $600 to $3,000 a year. Places that would have paid $450,000 in salaries could not be filled because of the lack of qualified men. This showing is an Indication of the change that is coming generally in agricultural methods. Rule-of-thumb, haphazard methods will not do on the farm any more than in the well-managed factory. There must be truly scientific farming, the combination of Bound principles with the results of experience. Evidently the owners of farms see the c ban go at nand and are eager to avail themselves of the knowledge possessed by the Wisconsin graduates. "The law does not permit a man to leave his wife just because she nags him," Justice Marean decides. He meant, of course, the law of this state, says the New York Mail. In Kentucky, Missouri and other states, "ungovernable temper" and "indignities" are a cause not only for separation, but for absolute divorce, and nagging may certainly be carried to the point of indignity; while in Oregon one may obtain a divorce if the partner of ^one's joys, and especially of one's sorrows, "makes life burdensome." And what can be more burdensome than nagging? However, there ought not to be divorce, nor even separation'." for nagging, because no court of justice can ever be sure that the nagging is not justified, or at least provoked. Some women, for instance, are born naggers. Some achieve nagging. And a considerable number of others have nagging thrust upon them by a_ course "of conduct which may be outwardly courteous, but which in its essence is insupportable irritating. 1 The Chinese republic has decided to revise its language and has engaged Prof. Solong Hello, who teaches Japanese and Chinese in the Royal institute at Naples, to provide them a new alphabet Prof. Bolong Hello, if we are to Judge by his name, apparently can get things coming and going, and is, therefore, well fitted for the Job.

Washington.—Only once since he left the office of president has Cot Theodore Roosevelt been in Washington to stay for more than the few minutes which the south and westbound trains stop In the "Union station. In. November, 1910, the colonel came here to look over the specimens of his skill as a hunter and a collector, which are now housed In the National Museum and many of which are already in condition for exhibition to the public. The African hunter, while perhaps he does not feel for personal reasons that he ought to come to the capital for any prolonged stay, keeps himself informed as to the progress of the work on the large and small animals which he collected in Africa when he was the leader of the Smithsonian Institution expedition. There is a huge elephant in the Smithsonian Institution which fell before the faunal naturalist's rifle. This elephant has not yet been prepared for exhibition, but its skin, its bones and its ivory are in perfect condition and one day will form one of the chief zoological attractions of the government institution. About That Big Elephant. When Colonel Roosevelt visited the museum this elephant hide was spread as a sort of a cover over half a dozen tables which had been placed together in the middle of one of the great halls. The bide more than covered the tables nnd the •"overflow" went to the floor and stretched itself scramblingly in all directions. It was the skin of a big bull elephant, to secure which the hunter had undergone a good many hardships, of which heat was one of the worst, and some little personal danger, although the latter point was neglected when the colonel, when on his museum visit, had his word to say about this particular elephant. Mr, Heller, who went into Africa _wHh_the colon® 1- commented on the TfidVof'The' big bnite," saying that it was absolutely perfect, and that the same thing could be said of the bones, which were stowed away elsewhere. "Not a hole In hide or bone," said Mr. Heller, and something like a grin was detected when he said it. Colonel Roosevelt turned to his audience of five and said: "Heller won't let up on me. I toiled and toiled and toiled to get a shot at that elephant and finally succeeded. He dropped dead at the first shot. Heller went up, examined him and then said: Colonel, this elephant died of apoplexy,' I see that he insists on telling the same story today, and all that I have to say about it is that If I made a miss that day this was the most considerate elephant that ever roamed Africa." Birds of Fiery Plumrge. The hall in the National Museum which is given over to birds collected -by the Smithsonian Institution's African expedition allows one to use unafraid all the color adjectives at command. The bird skins are spread out on trays, or were on the day of the colonel's visit to the museum. The Baltimore oriole and the scarlet (anager of America uyeasionally are called fire birds because of the burning brilliancy of their plumage. There are perhaps a hundred birds among those collected by Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, wbd accompanied Roosevelt into Africa, which might bear becomingly the fiery name. Then there are others in' which the blues and the greens and the yellows and the purples and all the other colors, hues, and combinations of both mingle. In Africa, as elsewhere, the best singers are to be found among the birds of aober dress. If the scarlet tan ager could sing like the hermit thrush, the species would become extinct from exceai of vanity. Mr. Roosevelt's ornithologically inclined comrade, Dr. Mearns, sent back shrikes whose plumage shames the livery of the oriole, the tanager, the bobolink and the goldfinch. Clark Reconciled to Houn'. Speaker Champ Clark, prominent Democratic aspirant for the presidential nomination, it la said on probably sufficient authority waa not entirely enraptured with "The Houn' Dawg" song when he first heard that it was likely to be hitched up, so to •peak, with his candidacy for the highest office in the land. It was hinted that Mr. Clark thought that the song waa In a way undignified, but whether it be true or not that he rather resented it at the first, he now has become perforce reconciled to it, for seemingly it has come to stay and moreover nobody apparently has shown an inclination to hold the speaker respon- Blbja for UB entrance ioto the musical field and ^into the presidential campaign. This is the second time that Speaker Clark in a way has been tangled up with the animal kingdom. It waa reported that prior to the congressional elections of 1910, he declared that he would drive a pair o/ Missouri mules down Pennsylvania avenue from the treasury to the capitol in case the Democrats won the election. If the speaker premised to do this be unquestionably made the promise Jocosely, but tfce story was taken seriously and the Missouri representative had hard work trying to put the yarn on its right basis. It kept appearing and reappearing head foremost and finally the speaker gave it up. Could Teach Him to Drive Mules. The messenger who hats been attached to the speaker's room in the capitol for a long time is a colored man named Neill. He held hia. .position through successive speakerships from the day of Samuel J. Randall of Pennsylvania. One day after the congressional elections which returned a Democratic majority to the house of representatives, Neill met in the corridor Representative Burleson of Texas. Mr. Burleson and Mr. Clark were and are close friends, although today the Texan is supporting an opponent of Mr. Clark for the presidential nomination. Neill said: "Good morning, Mr. Burleson. I hear Mr. Champ Clark is going to drive a pair of Missouri muleB down Pennsylvania avenue when he is elected speaker. Is that true, Mr. Burleson?" "Well, Neill," said Mr. Burleson, "Mr. Clark is a man of his word, and if he was going to drive the mules you may be sure that he will." "I don't just like to tell Mr. Clark so myself, Mr. Burleson, but would you mind telling him that if he is going to drive any mules there ain't nobody in Washington can teach him how better than me?" Burleson duly reported the facts in the case to the next speaker of the house. Pick Flaws In 8tatues. In advance of any findings of the fine arts commission which is charged with the work of making Washington artistically worthy, the newspapers and residents of the capital are calling attention to the shortcomings, as they view them, of some of the statues of the great ones as they appear in the public parks. There are as many minds on the matter of worthiness or lack of worthiness as there are monuments. For one who knows that he is not qualified to pass judgment there remains only the course of setting down what others say. At the south front of the treasury building there stands an equestrian statue of William Tecumseh Sherman. The Sherman horse is not attempting, like the horse of General Jackson which stands in Lafayette park, to break the natural law of gravitation, but fault has been found with it nevertheless, and recently men, who are supposed to know all about art as it applies to everything which comes within its scope, have said that the horse is bad. Nevertheless, it looks like a very good horse and there are men who know horses and who sa;,- it is well-nigh perfect. Horse 8eems to Be Headless. There is one curious criticism passed on the Sherman status. It is said that if you stand at a certain place on Fifteenth street and look at the horse it appears to be headless. It is true that Sherman's mount has its head low. The general has given it the bridle and has allowed it to "rest its neck," for that Is what a horse does under certain circumstances. From the Fifteenth street point of view you look at the head straight on, and because it is in line with the body, of course you cannot see it distinctly, Perhaps the criticism would not be worth attention were it not for the fact that it is the one most constantly in evidence. It probably had its origin with one of the guides to the city, who was trying to find something new to say about the statue to the "strangers In our midst" who had paid him 60 cents a head to be enlightened on the show things of the city. In the center of Tbromas circle there is an equestrian statue of General Thomas, "Pap" Thomas, the Rock of Cnickamauga. It is "said that the figure of the general Is not all that it should be, but It might be the worst thing ever perpetrated In sculpture, and yet the monument itself would be a beauty. The horse is a delight to the eye. It has been pronounced the most perfect horse In bronze or marble that this country holds. Freedom 8hrleked Again. Some time ago a statue of Kosciusko was erected in Lafayette square. The fault-finders have had time for a campaign, and those who seem to know something about art maintain that the fault-finders have plenty of* justification for all that they chodfev to say. We have the word of Thomas Campbell that "Freedom shrieked as Kosciusko fell!" Now the humorously inclined aay that freedom shrieked again as Kosciusko rose in bronze. Narrow Escape. An English couple had a narrow escape in the mountains above Fluelen, near Lucerne, Switzerland, recently. They loat their way, and the wife fell 150 feet on to the rocks below. Her head was. severely cut but no bones were broken. Her husband fell into a tree, and waa lowered into safety by peasants who came to the assistance of the pair with ropei. The couple were taken to the village of Hied, where a doctor attended them. Bad State of Mind. ' Peevishness,if indulged in too often, brings on a sort of permanent "grouch." If we allow ourselves' to get irritated and disagreeable over infinitesimal troubled, pretty soon everything that doesn't go juat our way will be regarded aa a particular 81am of fate, and we will get the fixed idea that life ii treating ut very badly ind ROUGH RIDER REACHE8 CONVENTION CITY LATE SATURDAY AFTERNOON, -^- MAKES SNAPPY SPEECH. FEELING BETWEEN FACTIONS INTENSIFIED BY HIS COMING. M i c h i g a n H a s t h e Finest H e e d - q u a r t e r s of Any S t a t e D e l e - gation to ttio N a t i o n a l Republican G e n v e n t i o n . Theodore Roosevelt's arrival in Chicago to take personal charge of his ffKht for the presidential nomination was fully, as Spectacular as even he could wish. He waa met at the railroad atation by a great crowd of admirer's. He made his way to his automobile through a lane which the police battered out with their clubs and fists, drove a half mile through lineB of frenzied people who greeted '^im with frantic cheers until he reached Use Congress hotel. Here the crush was such as to threaten life and limb. The colonel literally fought his way to a balcony of the hotel, from which be talked to the massed thousands below. Something; of the piercing quality of the famous "rebel yell' characterized the snapping cheers which interrupted Roosevelt's speech from the hotel balcony shortly after his arrival. The feeling that matters had come to some kind of a crisis permeated both factions. , Taft Denies Considering Dark Horse. President Taft sent the following telegram to C. D, Hilles, his secretary, who is now in charge of his personal interests at Chicago: "The report that I am in any way considering the possibility of a compromise candidate is wholly unfounded, and you are authorized emphatically to deny the report. With confidence I abide in the judgment of the convention." The Michigan Headquarters. Michigan has the finest headquarters of any state delegation to the national Republican convention—the sumptuous English room of the Congress hotel, mezzanine floor, bay windows overlooking Michigan boulevard and the lake beyond, with the lake front parkway in the middle distance, Senate Fails to Heed Veto Threat In the face of President Taft'a vow to veto the measure because of its provision abolishing the United States commerce court, the senate passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill by an aye and nay vote. The bill now goes to conference, where the senate conferees are expected to put up a stiff fight for increases over the house estimates awarded to the state, treasury and interior departments. Report Says 1,500 Italians Are Dead. The Turkish troops and their Arab allies won a big victory at Horns, according to a news agency correspondent in Tripoli, who says that 1,500 Italians were left dead on the field, while the Turkish casualties were only 50 killed and 1.50 wounded. The battle lasted seven hours, when the Italians, after being routed, left several cannon and quantities of rifles and ammunition, as well aa stores, in the hands of the victorious Turks. Wesley Edwards of Alien Gang Caught. Wesley Edwards, member of the Allen clan, which raided the court house at Hillsville, Va., on March 14, and assassinated the judge, the prosecutor and the sheriff of the county, besid'es killing and wounding a number of others, has been arrested by Chief of Police A.

I How This Apartment 8hould Be Decorated and Furnished — Down Stairs.Front Room or Dutch Hall the Best Choice. Today almost every one has a living room, and any house is incomplete without one. Some people are loth to let go of the old-fashlpned and hopelessly out-of-date parlor, with its set of plush furniture, its what-not and its lace curtains. Still, every one would like to be up to date, if possible; and in this article It will be the endeavor to show how a parlor can be turned into a living room and how a living room Bhould be furnished. The room to chooBe for the purpose would, of course, depend on the convenience of the family; but in the average house the downstairs front room or the Dutch hall would be the best choice. Should this be impractical, either the front or back room on the second floor could be made to answer. Except In the case of the Dutch hall, where the woodwork is stained to blend well with the surroundings, or when, in individual cases, It is conaidered best to leave it the way it is, It is usually advisable to change the color of the woodwork to white or cream. Even in the hall this has been worked out most successfully by painting all the wood white with the exception of the staircase, where the tread of the stairs and the handrail are of mahogany. As to the wallpaper, it is best to NOVEL SILK BATHING SlHT It Is a Blus and White Chock and the Material Is Non-Absorbent and Very Dressy.

These figured papers, chosen from samples, are so often a terrible disappointment, it is really better not to indulge.

SUMMER HOUSE FOR POULTRY Coop Shown In the Illustration Will Provide Comfortable Place for Hens in Hot Weather. Good poultry quarters-are needed, and for warm weather the house shown In the accompanying picture will answer the purpose exceedingly well It la built eight feet wide. 12 feet long, seven feet high in front and 4½ feet at the rear. It should have a light framework, consisting of 2x4's, tor the sills and caps, and siding of inch stuff, preferably matched, Summer House for Hens. nailed on perpendicular as Indicated, writes Fred O. Sibley in the Farm and Home. The front, which Is to face toward the south, has a good-sized window, and at each corner are two openings, 12x16 inches, for the hens to pass. In the end opposite the door there is a wooden shutter about two feet square for air and ventilation, and this, as well as the window, should have strong, fine meshed wire nailed on the outside. The roosts are located in the rear, up under the roof, with a platform below to catch the droppings, 3½ feet wide, extending the whole length of the house. Beneath this is another platform, three feet wide, for the nests. For hens on the range such a house Is Just the thing, and needs no floor if the location is well drained and dry. It will shelter from 50 to 60 fowls comfortably. The interior ought to be kept well whitewashed, and If the house is set In the shade of a large tree it will be all the more pleasant for the hens to go into on a hot day. The cost of building this kind of summer "cottage" will be from $12 to $15. It pays to use good lumber, and two or three good coats of paint should be applied.

If the hover is removed it makes an excellent brood coop for hen and chldffe. Make the bottom of brooder 2 feet 8 inches $7 1 foot 10 inches of boards, nailed on 2 by 2-lnch scantlings. For the upper part use 2 by 2-inch posts for the uprights, those in front 17 inches long, and the rear 11 inches. Make the coop 2 feet 10 inched long, 2 feet wide, 18 inches hlgh^ln front and 12 inches at the back, writes Arthur 8. Wenger of Dayton, Vs., In the Missouri Valley Farmer. This will allow the coop to set down over the floor, the posts resting upon the floor boards. Make two openings in front, one 8 by 8 Inches, the other 12 by 20. For the smaller opening make a sliding door, and cover the other with fine mesh wire netting. Make a frame and cover with muslin to slide over this netting during cold or stormy weather. For the roof take two pieces of %-lnch board 2 inches wide and 3 feet long, and three pieces of the same dimension 2 feet 2 Inches long. Notch the long pieces at end and center to 1 inch wide, so the crosspleces can be nailed In—to make a flat frame.

That light putty color which was so much In fashion in France last winter and which one feared would become fashionable here is fortunately missing. All the Russian tana are used In pumps, In Oxfords, and in twoeyelet ties. Buckles still take precedence over ribbons, except in tbe Oxfords and on pumps. True, a wide number of women prefer the more or less huge buckle on their pumps, but you will notice thai the well-dressed woman who la smart* ly turned out in every detail will wear the plain pump, with its flat bow of corded ribbon, such as die men wear, no matter what Its beet.

Fowls should nave empty crops in the morning and the crop should never be quite full until It is time to go to roost For the first feed grain scattered in the litter in the morning la preferred, the sooner the better. This Induces them to exercise- In the middle of the day a warm, moistened mash ahould bo given, about what they will oat And at night before they go to roost a liberal feed of grain should be scattered in the ttt* ter. Fowls ahould be kept busy. BEDBUGS IN CHICKEN HOUSE Roots and Nests Should Be Removed From Building snd Whitewash Spray Thoroughly Applied. Many poultry houses are infested with bed bugs and It is not an easy matter to dislodge them. Some people, say that turning the sheep into tlie poultry houses will Induce the bugs to attack the sheep where they will be lost In the wool, but this is a poor remedy. Remove all the roosts and nests from the house and spray with boiling hot whitewash to which has been added a pint of turpentine to a pailful. Another good remedy is to burn the Interior of the house with tarollne mixture which can be bought at any drug store. Another effective remedy Is half a pint each of turpentine, ammonia and kerosene to which add about four ounces of gum camphor. If more is needed double the quantity. Apply with a brush. The nests should be burned out over a blazing Are and the roosts should also be held over the fire and all should be thoroughly whitewashed and painted before putting them back. Insect Powder for Fowls. Here is a receipt for an Insect powder and it can be made a great deal cheaper than it can be bought. Take one pint of crude carbolic acid and three pints of gasoline. Mix in an earthen crock or granite ware dish. Sprinkle in plaster of Paris and thoroughly stir so that every particle of it will be wet. Use enough plaster of Paris to absorb all the liquid. Spread out on a paper for extra gasoline to evaporate, then run through a sieve and the powder la ready for use. Oyster sMteils for Fowsle. The feeding of oyster shells is claimed to supply the birds with grit, but experiments show that under circumstances in any other manner oyster shells may be utilised by the hens to- supply sheila for the aggs.

A strong west wind carried the flames to the buildings on the east, and for a time it looked as though that portion of the block would go, which Includes the First National bank, but intelligent work by the volunteer firemen held the fire in the two buildings where it bad gained tbe most headway. It went west toward the post office until stopped by a solid brick wall.

HIB death is the Becond to occur among the employes of the Commercial bank within a weok. It was only a week ago that Charles N. Runnels, director and cashier, passed away from a stroke of apoplexy. Both he and Mr Beard were considered among the oldest employes In the bank and were prominent in Port Huron In many ways. Port Huron.—John J Kelly, marine engineer of this city, had a narrow escape from serious injury here when he was precipitated Into the hold of the tug Pallister of the Thompson line. Kelly has been sailing the steamer Pine Lake this season, and while spending a few days with his family here, was asked to take the tug to Toledo and back. It was Kelly's first time on the boat, and being unaccustomed to her deck, he bad the misfortune to fall into the hold, a distance of ten-feet. Battle Creek. — Alice McKlnney, six-year-old daughter of William McKlnney, had a remarkable escape from being ground to death when she was struck by a street car. The child attempted to follow her sevenyear- old brother, Rowland, across the street, but was struck by fender of the car and was rolled and dragged 40 feet. The car was stopped Just as the wheels were about to pass over bar body. She is so small that her body slipped under the fender of the car. South Kaven. — Claude Reynolds, ten years old, clung to the fish pole of one of a number of fishermen on the piers while life-%avers went to the rescue in a surf boat and pulled the half-drowned lad aboard. Losing his balance on the pier, he fell a distance of ten feet into the water, and being unable to swim he was drowning when the pole was shoved down to him. Bay City.—Samuel Hapkius, released several weeks ago from Jackson prison on a parole, signed by Governor Osborn, has been taken back to Jackson to serve out a life sentence for murder. Twenty-seven years ago the man committed a murder in Detroit and be was paroled under the new 25-year law. He came' to Bay City and the Salvation Array took him m charge. He became converted and was active In the army for three weeks when Captain McLeilan found s niece for him to work on a farm. The nan lasted about a week. Weary Husband Simply Hopeful, Knowing Well That He Couldn't Do Anything Else. Kven.the bright sunshine failed to cheer tbe man in tli« motor car. He sat all huddled up in his heavy driving coat. A friend passed. "Hallo, Johnson!" he said. "What's up? How long have you been hare?" "Oh, about four hours!" aald the motorist, miserably. "What's the trouble—tire burst?" The motorist shook bis head. "Engine gone wrong? Short of petrol? If BO, I can -" "Thanks, old man. She's running fine, and the tank's full." "Then what the dickens is the matter?" "Oh, nothing," murmured the motorist. "I'm only waiting for my wife. She's been kiHsing her aister'B new baby ever since tun in.the house there. Perhaps she'll be finished presently; then we can go home to dinner. I'm, so hungry!" Poor Father. Mayor Turnbull of Canton was talking about a statement, made all unconsciously by a Titanic officer, that had been a terrible black eye for tbe Titanic administration. "This statement," he said, ""reminds me of a little Canton boy. " 'Tommy, why are you so unkind to your nurse? Why don't you love her?* his mother once asked him. " 'Because I don't/ the enfant terrible replied. 'I just hate her! I could pinch her cheeks like papa does!'"

RECORD OF A GREAT MEDICINE Doctors Could Not Help Mrs. Templeton — Regained Health through Lydia E* Pinkham's Compound. Hooper, Nebraska. — "! am very glad to tell how Lydia E,Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has helped me. Forfive years I suffered from female troubles so I was scarcely able to do my work. I took doctors' a>edicine8 and used local treatments but wen not helped. I had such awful bearing down pains nnd my back was so weak I could hardly walk and could not ride. I of ten had to sit up nights to sleep and my friends thought I could not live long. At my request my husband got me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and I commenced to take it By the time I bad taken the seventh bottle my health had returned and I began doing my washing and waa a well woman. Atone time for three weeks I did all the work for eighteen boarders with no signs of my old trouble returning. Many have taken your medicine after seeing what it did for me. I would not take $1000 and be where I waa. Yon have my permission to use my name if it will aid anyone."-Mrs, S u i n TEMPLETON, Hooper, Nebraska. ThePinkham record is a proud and peerless one.

Neither dons he like to see the bluegills caught by the hundreds at this time of the v e a r » thus destroying four-fifths of Tak«^HaTrs"Famiiy"'pfls for con- * n e seasons spawn. IH there a more enomical or better way to stock, our lakes with fish than to prohibit all fishing for at least 30 days or more during the spawning season? Perch should be,' protected in. February just as much as the bhie^ills at the pres ent time. There is a recent amendment to the effect that white, silver and strawberry bass may be caught at any time of the year. This amendment takes effect ninety days after the adjournment of the special session. stipation. AHBES80S. Frank Hanes and family and Mr. and Mrs. Orlo Hanes visited On« Hanes of Marion Sunday.

In this country poultfy includes chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, guinea fowls, pigeons and occasionally pea fowls, pheasants, quail and swans—chickens, of course, being the most important. Something like a quarter of a billion chickens and other poultry are consumed in the*United Ptates every year. The consumption of eggs Is about eighteen dozen per capita. The last census gave the value of chickens raised on American farms in 1899 as $136,891,877—of eggs as $144,286,158. Today the American people consume about half a billion dollars' worth of poultry and eggs per annum. Exports are increasing and one may enter on the raising of poultry and eggs with little fear of not realising good prices on all produce. Probably 90 per cent, of the farms in the United States raise poultry as a side line; feeding is more economical where general farming is pursued. Still there are manifest advantages in specializing—greater attention, knowledge and skill achieve better results. Poultry raising makes no great demands on strength, and any person of intelligence may hope to make a success of it. But some have made the mistake of supposing that the business can be taken up on a considerable scale without any experience. Hens lay all the way from none to 250 eggs a year, and It takes fome experience to tell with what kind of hens and under what conditions, tbe upper limit can be reached. Probably the best course for the Intending poultry raiser would be tc work for a year or more on one ol the large chicken ranches in order to Searn the important points of breeds, feeding, fattening, housing, brooding, incubating, etc. The raising.of broilers, roasters and capons for the market may be a paying occupation on an egg farm, if one secures the right kind of stock and gives the work the proper attention and management. No kind of poultry Is more profitable than turkeys. OO TO D A N C E R ' S E a n d gr«3t y o u r - 4th of July Suit out of that new assortment Pure wool gray cheviots, tan and blue i serges , $10.

Since ducklings slop water around considerably when they drink, and since they should be kept dry until after their feathers have formed, the drinking fountain illustrated herewith will be found particularly useful, says the American Agriculturist. A square of quarter-inch mesh galvanized wire cloth, say 18 Inches to the side, is tacked to a wooden frame and placed Fountain for Ducklings. oyer a b*d of gravel so the water may easily drain away. If the soil Is not gravelly, a hole should be dug about two feet deep and filled with small stones. The drinking fountain of any convenient shape should be anchored in the center of the wire screen. For little ducks the weight of a fountain holding one gallon or more will be more than sufficient to prevent toppling over. It hi better not to keep ducks and chicks together. The young chicks should be losfr ed over carefully for lice. The farmer above everyone ia the party to succeed with poultry. Have charcoal, sand and water always on hand, and feed small grain. Clean and disinfect the brooders At least onoe a week, and better every day. Potato peelings fed raw in" not too large quantities are good for the laying hens. Now that the chicks are hatched the main point is to see that they are are kept growing. Collect eggs every day shortly before noon, or preferably twice dally, at noon and at dusk. A chick, like a baby, will get good at bad habits according to tbe way It is started in this world. To keep chicks growing and thriving they must be fed well sad of tan, aad their crops kept clean.

An unusually large number of relatives and friends of the graduates composed the appreciative audience The decorative scheme deserves special commendation, It was designed and carried out by Mrs. B. D. McDougall. The stage was converted into a box like structure and made to blossom anew in its dress of blue and gold bunting, the class colors. The five graduates were seated in a circle before the footlights of commencement and blazoned forth their sentiments of four years of happy high school life on the arch bearing their motto, "We Finish to Begin." The program which had been prepared through hard and patient labor on the part of both teachers and graduates was of high order. An instrumental solo by Norma Vaughn opened the evenings exercises. It was ably rendered under the skillfull hands of Miss Vaughn. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. H. Ripon, following which Hazel B. Hinchey gave the Salutatory, extending the greet* ings of the class of 1912. "Is it Worth While", a subject vast in scope was well delivered by Lynn W. Hendee. Lila Chubb next favored the audience with a charm* ing vocal selection entitled, "A Creole Love Song". Two essays, "Higher Education" and "The Golden Age", given respectively by Ruth A. Frost and J. Feme Hendee, were well received. They showed keen insight into the questions uppermost in the minds of American educators today. Madelene Moran and Laura Burgess added much to the enjoyment of the evening in the able playing of an instrumental duet. The Valedictorian, H. Bernardine Lynch urged her classmates on to greater achievements now that they were entering from the harbor of their school days into the sea of life. The people of Pinokney always look forward with great anticipation to a program upon which the name of Henry Isham appears and they were not disappointed in his rendering of the "Mazurka de Concert", by Musin, and his encore "Marguerite". He was ably accompanied by Sadie Harris. Rev. Joseph Coyle won the applause and the hearts of tbe people in his first appearance upon the stage of the Pinckney opera house. Prof. H. D. McDougall made a few well chosen and appropriate remarks in his presentation of the well earned diplomas. The Male Quartette composed of E. E. Hoyt. Arthur Vedder, H. H. Swarthout and Percy Swarthout gave two selections which won a round of applause, The program closed with the benediction by Rev. A* Balgooyan, and the class of 1912 passed oat into the School of Life. l a g a n State Fair By a happy thought the management of the Michigan State Fair struck the right track when the noisy Midway attractions which have hitherto occupied the most prominent point of vantage in the fair grounds, along the walk leading to the grand stand, the horse races, night horse show and other events, were removed to a point down towards the Graud Trunk sidingw. The former location of midway shows will be occupied by attractions for children, a pony show andother events of an elevating and interesting character. In past years visitors at the Fair have obtained the idea that the State Fair gave to much prominence to its Midway shows. The problem of placing this show attended by so many, at a point which woald not put it too far away, but at the same time would remove it from the direct path of travel. With the show in its present location, and decidedly different from last year, when every effort was made to purify the exhibition, it is not improbable that the attractians of this year will be even more attractive with the masses. All freaks and pit shows have been refused space, and the Midway will not be objectionable" to ladies and children in the future.

So he knew about the pajamas, too! i f[ half roBe from my chair. i—1 assure you, sir—" I began stlf- »y. His fussy shrug checked me. "No, no, we'll JuBt have to wait till Jack sets up. The only thing I'm anxious about 1» the scenery and the view poinds; and I just khow if Francis went with you, you would never see any of it." A By Jove, 1 thought that quite likely enough, but of course it was devilish personal of him to say so. And dash seeing the scenery and view points, anyway—who wanted to see them, if they could see her? I was just going to suggest this, when he went on: "The fact Is—" He hesitated, then illcked his ashes with a Bigh. "Oh, well, since I've said as much as i have, I should go further, I suppose. It's only fair not to leave you in the dark, especially as my daughter was enthusiastically telling me just now" —puff—"that she already looks on :you aa one of the family." ""By Jove, did she though?" 1 liltched to the front or the chair. "How dev—I mean how—* Ha nodded. "And so I feel Justified to talking to you frankly—not that 1 want to prejudice you against Francis, you understand, but just because" —hit head wagged :s*>berly—• Francis won't do!"

I felt myself shrink together, xttf knees slanting away from hUn. My dashed monocle hung limp. He angled closer.

I moistened my lips. Then l brightened, tor perhaps he meant bridge—and that was good form, for there was my Aunt Julia, who lived by it—fact! Hut his head shook impatiently when I suggested that he meant this. "Bridge!" he exploded. "Why, Francis doesn't know bridge from casino! Poker, I tell you, and faro—and all the rest. The plucking was done nightly at a certain—er—club, the establishment of a gentleman by the name of McQInty—'Spot' McGinty— oh, you know%the place, then?" I faced him earnestly. "I—er— Judge Billings, do I understand you— that is, it can't be that you are speaking of—er—Frances?" I Btammered incredulously. "I mean your Frances —surely you are not!" "I Just am!" His Jaw set with a snap. "Just who I'm talking about and nobody else, young man! I mean my Francis—Francis Leslie Billings— who else could I mean?" He almost groaned. "Oh, you don't know Francis!" Dash it, what they all chorused at mo! They seemed pretty positive about it, too, and 1 was jolly miserable; but looking back now, I somehow think of that moment as being the point where I reached the parting of the what-you-call-'ems. Meantime, her father was studying me a little oddly and smiling. " I s e e you don't quite like what 1 say about Francis," he remarked, puffing complacently. I looked him straight in the eye.

"Wh—what's that?—Llghtnut!" He turned a beet color and grasped the I arms of his chair. "Oh, 1 do." I stood up and he followed! "I think if that poor child had bad l f little—er—fbrbeaffnee and kindness—that sort of thing—oh, dash It, I just think you'vo been infernally harsh always—yea, 1 do!" "WeM, I'll be-^"He swallowed It, neck forward, and stood panting a bit "Harsh, eh?" he Jerked at tee.. "Urn!" He stood there, hia'Jeet braced apart, bis wblte brows beetling at the floor. "Harsh!" He cocked bis bead on ene side, thrusting out his heavy underlip. Then came a sniff and a grunt and oh, be looked black!

"I'm going to t r y your way—by George, ill do it j .tonight!" His eyes seemed to hold me with a more kindly and personal interest. "Do you know I can't tell you how glad I am that you rind so much in Francis to like; indeed, I am delighted." Still studying me attentively, he musingly reached for afresh light. "In point of tact, Llghtnut, 1 am free to say I hope the intimacy begun between you two will grow closer. It would be a thundering good thing for Francis and a great comfort to me." And, by Jove, he smiled at me—a devilish pleasant smile! So I Just leaned forward and made a go: "Thanks awfully; and—er—by the way—" Then I stuck, boggled wildly an instant and went on: "That is to say, this intimacy, you know—has It been too short to justify—" 1 gulped. "Er—would you be willing to trust—" And I lost the dashed idea again, floundered a bit and took another shy-. "Oh, I say, you know, have I your permission to speak to Frances—er— you know?" "You Bpeak to Francis?"—he Just leaped toward me— "Why, my boy!" And he was wringing my arm with one hand while the other clasped my shoulder. "My de-e-ear boy—why, Llghtnut!" By Jove, he almost gushed! "You're not Joking now, are you?" He peered anxiously into my face. "No, by George, 1 believe you really mean it!" And he went to pumping like mad. "How awfully good of you—self-sacrificing is the word! Are you quite sure you don't mind?" "Mind?" By Jove, I think I looked what I felt at such a dashed silly question. "Well! well! well! My dear young friend!" And ob, he went on In the most disgusting way—why, dash it, you would have thought I was dotng him some favor! \ guessed, though, that It was the usual custom, but it seemed rum—for I should have thought that In giving your daughter away, you put the thanks up to the other fellow. But Pugsley says the rule varies—quite often varies! Anyhow, 1 felt so gratified that I had taken tbe honorable course and spoken to her father—understand so many do not at all, you know. As It was, It gave me quite a comfortable glow of pride, and I reflected how much better it always is to follow the wise dictates of your wbat's-lts-name! "By Jove!" 1 thought, as I nodded and smiled back, "I wonder what he would say if he knew that Frances and I are already engaged!" CHAPTER XXIII. The Family Blaek Sheep. Presently 1 got In a word: "Then Judge, I have your permission to speak to Frances?" "Permission?" Ha lifted bis hands and eyes. "You certainly have, my boy—don't I mako it clear? Wby, I'm simply delighted—and grateful— oh, so grateful to yon!" And, by Jove, he meant It—there was no mistaking his fervency! But it made me feel like a silly aas, you know. Custom or no custom, It Just made me a bit nifty to think ber father would speak this way. Might be good form, but it appeared rotten taste—lots of things seem that way. dash it! Suggested «.hli to Pugsley once, but he was so devilish shocked couldn't eat his luncheon—wasn't able to fetch a dashed word for four hours! "Why, Llghtnut," be dropped to a chair, leaning forward, with shining eyes, "you can't possibly know what this means just at this time! Why, if you hadn't offered to Bpeak to Francis, it's not likely that any one else ever would!" "Judge!" I ejaculated, shocked. "Who would want to?" And ne grimaced horribly. "Oh, I say now!" I protested warm-, ly. "My boy, I tell you I know—yoii don'tH" He lifted his hand eloquently, deflecting the corners of his mouth— oh, such a way! "No, elree, I tell you there's not another living man would dare chance it!" lie threw himself backward, puffing his cheeks at rae and walling his eyes rrlghtfully. "In fact, hereabouts—where Francis is known, there have been two men— only just two—who ever had the temerity to do it." "Oh!" I commented. Wondered if one of these was the other chap she was engaged to. He proceeded impressively: "One of these, my dear sir, was our rector —a most charming and venerable old man, now nearly eighty-three and partially paralyzed and deaf; lives a sweet, patient life all alone, you know, with no one in the world to care for him. Well, sir," he stiffened dramatically, leveling one ringer at me, "do you think that Francis would even listen to him?" Did I? Well, dash It, did I? Hut I tried to mumble something polite. "And then—" he puffed as he relighted his cigar, "there's Jack's chauffeur, you know." "Kh, Jack's—what's that?" I gripped the arms of my chair. "Yes," he npdded, "Jack's chauffeur. Oh, I was so disappointed at the result of his effort!" The old gentleman slipped back in his chair with a sigh. "Francis just swore at him, you know!" "By Jove!" I managed to get out— and yet, somehow, I -was devilish pleased about it. "You see?" And he spread out his hands. "Absolutely no sense of appreciation, you observe; and it had seemed such a splendid chance! You see they had been so Intimate—oh, are still, for that matter." I caught my breath. "In—intimate!" I stammered. "You don't mean Frances and this chauffeur?" "Oh, ^esTr-earelessly, "Scoggins is all right; 'very superior young man for his position—fond of Francis, you know, and 1 really think has great influence." He puffed complacently an instant. "Fact Is, they are always together when Francis is home"—puff —"motoring, boating, or else off somewhere camping together." "Wfha-at—what's that—not camping?" I looked at him aghast. "Oh, come nO/W, Judge—really you don't mean that, do you—not camping together?" I spoke excitedly, but he JuBt stared at me with an expression of blank surprise. "Eh? Why, certainly, my dear boy —for weeks at a time—and why not?" His shift manifested some impatience. "Pshaw, Llghtnut," he growled, flicking his ash, "what's the odds^—why be BO particular? I don't mind!" He jammed bis bands Into bis trousers pockets till it seemed be would go through them. "I t«ll you, I'm glad I'm democratic!" "Oh!" I uttered, seeing a light. . So that was it! Well, In any case, I knew now that 1 was a republican, by Jove! Never did know before what I was and it was a devilish re* lief to find out Half made up my f mind, then and there, I would vote next election—never bad, you know; few of onr set ever did. Pugsley, for one. held it to be doubtful form. "Bright, self-made young man," I caught aa I came back. By Jove, he -was still talking about that beastly chauffeur! "Such fine morals, you know." "Oh. dash It, yes!" And I think this must have been when I broke tbe corner out of a filling. "That was why I was so sorry be failed wltb Francis," be continued regretfully; "but you may succeed better— oh, I don't know but what It will do just as well"!" "Thanks—er—awfully!" I murmured weakly. "Oh, I think so—oh, yes!" He bobbed ] his head as tbough he were quite resigned to It—then went on thoughtfully: "And anyhow, If Francis finds you are In deadly earnest, wby it—" Hia volee dropped off musingly: "Well, 1 believe tbat would make it easier— oh, lota easier for Scoggins" I blinked a little wltb my free eye.

SPEECHES VIGOROUSLY SUPPORT HIS POLICIES. Colonel Walks Into HaH af Rump Convention Name Him as Their Candidate for President. The Roosevelt delegates' and alternates met at Orchestra hall, Chicago, and nominated Theodore Roosevelt for president of the United States. At the same time they declared that they represented the majority of the delegates and alternates "legally elected to the Republican convention." There was tremendous enthusiasm when Col. Roosevelt's name wa* placed in nomination. Col. Roosevelt, who came into the ball after the nominating resolution was adopted, thanked them for tiie nomination, said that he recognized them as lawfully elected delegate* representing an overwhelming majority of the voters at the primaries, but ga'..l he would accept the nomination subject to the formation and approval of a new party. He told them to go into convention to nominate for the presidency a progressive candidate of their people and then meet in mass on a progressive platform. "Carry Out W i l l of Voters." Following.is the last of the nominating resolutions: "We, delegates and alternates to the Republican national convention, representing a clear majority of the delegates and alternates legally elected to the convention, in meeting assembled, make the following declaration: "We were.elected by a majority of the Republican votes of our respective districts and states to nominate Theodore Roosevelt in the Republican national convention as the candidate1 of our party for president and thereby carry out the will of the voters as expressed at the primaries. We have earnestly and conscientiously striven to execute the commission entrusted to us by the party voters. "For five days we have been denied justice in the national convention. The result has been accomplished by the action of the now defunct national committee in, placing upon the preliminary roll of the convention and thereby seating upon the floor of this convention a sufficient number of fraudulently elected delegates to control the proceedings of the eonven tion. These fraudulent delegates once seated have by concerted action with one another put themselves upon the permanent roll, where they constitute an influence sufficient to control the convention and defeat the will of! the party as expressed at the primaries. "We have exhausted every known means to hdid of? tttW ©e»sl»lracy, aai8 10 prevent* this 'ffaud upon the popular will, but without success. We were pent to this convention bearing the most specific instructions to fjlace Theodore Roosevelt in nomination as the candidate of our party for president, and we, therefore, deem it to be our duty to carry out those toi- Btructions in the only practically atvd feasible way remaflning^ppen to us, "Therefore, be it resolved that we. representing the majority of the votes of the Republican party, and of the delegates and alternates legally elected to the national Republican convention, in compliance without instructions from the party voters,.hereby nominate Theorore "Roosevelt as the candidate of our party for the office of president of the United States and we call upon him to accept such nomination in compliance with the will of the party voters, "And, be it further resolved, that a committee be appointed by the chair to forthwith notify' Colonel Roosevelt of the action here taken and revest.' him to appear before ug in this hall as soon us convenient." Roosevelt Accepts. Col. Roosevelt, in replying to the nomination, spoke as follows: "Gentlemen: 1 thank you for your nomination, and in you 1 recognize the lawfully elected delegates to the Republican convention who represent the ovewhelming majority of the voters who took part in the Republican primaries prior to the convention, and who represent the wish of the majority of the lawfully elected members of the convention. I accept t*^ nomination subject to but one condition. "This has now become a contest which cannot be settled merely along the old party lines. The principles that are at stake are as broad and as deep as the foundations of our democracy itself. They are in no sense sectional. They should appeal to all honest citizens, east and west, north and south; they should appeal to all right'thinking men, whether Republicans. or Democrats, without regard.to their previous party affiliations. "1 feel that the time has come when not only all men who believe in progressive principles, but all men who believe in those elementary maxims of public and private morality which must underlie every form of siu\?ssful free government should join in one movement, Therefore, 1 ask you to go to your several homes to find out the sentiment of the people at home and then again come together, I suggest by mass convention, to nominate for the presidency a "progressive candidate on a progressive platform, a candidate and a platform that will onable us to appeal to northerner and southerner, easterner and westerner. Republican and Democrat alike, in the name of our common American, citizenship. "If you wish me to make the run for president of the United States I will make it, even if only one state should support me. The only condition I impose is that you shall feel entirely free when you come together to substitute any other man in my place if von deem it better for the movement, and in such case I wilJ gk-e him my heartiest support."

Roosevelt- aoJ3 .prepare a plan and platform to be'presented to the bolters' convention, No definite announcement of the plan was made today and the date of the convention Is still to be decided. It was rumored that it might be held here in Chicago on Aug. 3 and also that an attempt might be made to call the Roosevelt progressives together at As"bury Park. In general, the plan seems to be to utilize the Roosevelt machine in states that the colonel carried at the primaries and in other states to present a complete progressive ticket. In New York, for instance, if the plans talked for are carried out. there will be progressive candidates for governor, congress ami other elective offices that may be open when the contest begins.

It may be laid down BB a general rule that the ordinary man never knows when a woman's dre&t> flta or not—unless, of courBe, it 1B an extraordinary misfit. His replies to inquiries on that poiDt are, as practically all husbands will attest, based on what he thinks the woman thinks of it. When a wife, for instance, comes Into the room wearing a new dress, with a smile on her face, and turns around several times and asas him what he thinks of the fit, he replies without hesitation that it Is all right—that be like* the pattern exceedingly and that he doesn't think he ever saw her wear anything more becoming. If, on the contrary, she comes in with corrugated brows and Inquires In a distinctly dissatisfied tone what he thinks of the dress, he Instantly remarks that, though it looks fairly nice, yet there is still something about It that he doesn't like. He can't eay exactly what it is that seems out of kelter, but there is certainly Bomething wrong with <:hat dress and it ought to be altered at once. But it is only Just to the men to say that their ignorance of what constitutes the fit of a dress is paralleled by the feminine Inability to realize what goeB to make up a well-fitting suit for a male person. As a rule, a woman's advice •with respect to a man's suit Is-the most dangerous thing a man can take. To some, each new spring comes with the freshness of a first one, and there is an evanescent charm about it which no other season possesses. It is a long series of progressions, beginning with the first soft southern breeze, the melting of the snow and the earliest warble of the pioneer blue bird, a tiny patch of sky flown down to earth, the unlocking of mountain streams, the soft pUBsy willow buds and the twilight piping of frogs. There is premonition and expectancy in the air. Then, with alternating showers and sunshine, the dreary-looking earth takes on little by little a fresh robe of verdure, pale green at first, half hiding the skeleton outlines of the trees and wrapping the landscape In a misty dream of beauty. There are varying shades; here and there where there are oaks, splotches of brownish purple, and along the hillsides great masses of blossoms, dogwood and Judas tree and billowy reaches of white and pink orchards. All along the way In dooryards are white and purple lilacs loading the air with fragrance, and the fields are spangled with golden dandelions. That men of wealth in increasing numbers are deserting the ranks ol '"the idle rich" and devoting their time, talents and a part of their money to useful public service, is one of the encouraging fruits of democracy in this country, The charge has often been made, that very wealthy men dr, not bear their Just proportion of the public burdens, and posBlbly many ol them do not. Possibly many of them lack a sense of responsibility. During the past quarter of a century, hawever, there have been in American public life, or in semi-public life, a great number of men who feel that riches, as well as noblesse, oblige, says the Boston Globe. It would be a superfluous task to enumerate them— the men in whom a social conscience has been developed and who find the performance of public duties more attractive than polo or golf. The courts and the imperious ruler by divine, right do not always pull together, as appears from a ease in Germany, where a tenant of the emperor sued his landlord and won in two cqurta. There was a precedent for th£s Is the reign of Frederick the Great, who wanted to remove a mill that spoiled his view from Sans Souci, but the courts upheld the sturdy miller through a controversy which Carlyle celebrates over several pages. SHU such things occur Infrequently eiiough In Germany to get Into print when they do happen. It has been decided by a Chicago Judge that the earning capacity -of- a performing monkey 1s $300 A week.

TAFT WON AMID RIOTOUS SCENES AMONG DEldEr GATES. Margin of Twenty-one Votes the Necessary 540 nils His Manager's Forecast. Ful- Nomination lor the presidency, with the party admittedly facing the greatest crisis in its history, came to William H. Taft, of Ohio, at 9:25 o'clock Saturday in the Republican national convention. James S. Sherman likewise was renominated as vice-president. The revolt of many of the Roosevelt Relegates in the convention was on from the moment the permanent roll containing the names of contested delegates was approved. A "valedictory" statement was read in behalf of Col. Roosevelt, asking that his name be not presented and that his delegates sit in mute protest against all further proceedings. A great majority of the Roosevelt delegates in the Illinois and all in the Missouri and Idaho delegations declined to follow this advice, but Col. Roosevelt's sway over the delegations from California, Kansas, Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New .lersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota and West Virginia was all bat absolute. Still Loyal to T. R. Most of the delegates from these states announced their purpose of helping give Mr. Roosevelt an independent nomination at another hall later in the evening. The split in the convention occasioned no surprise. It waB but a fulfillment of predictions that had been made during the past several days. The closing scenes of the convention were marked by counter demonstrations for President Taft and Col. Roosevelt. The first test vote after the announcement of the Roosevelt valedictory came on the adoption of the party platform. The affirmative vote was GGG. Roosevelt delegates present and not voting numbered ''A3. There were 5U noes, l!6 of them from the La Follette states of Wisconsin and North Dakota. Senator l>a Follette, of Wisconsin, was placed before the- convention, but Col. Roosevelt's wishes were carried out by his followers and they remained silent during the call of the states for nominations. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF. Carried Out Instructions, Many oi the delegates, however, carried out their primary instructions and voted for the coloneL. On the voting for president, the Roosevelt delegates again, as a role, remained silent. The detailed vote was: Taft, 501; Roosevelt, 107; La Follette, 41; Cummins, 17; Hughes, 2; not voting, i>.4; absent, G. At times during the balloting the convention was in great confusion.. Roosevelt Men Silent. The Roosevelt program as determined upon was carried out at Saturday's session of the convention after the convention had received the last of the credentials committee report and had become permanently organized. There was no bolt, but in accordance with the program no roll call was demanded, and after "the permanent organization was completed the Roosevelt men did not vote. This was in obedience to the request of the colonel contained in a statement read to the convention. The colonel's statement was read by Henry J. Allen, of Kansas. Mr Allen supplemented it with a state-' ment of his own, which be said represented the views of a majority of the Roosevelt delegates. The convention nad been in session four hours and a half, when Mr. Allen got up to read Mr. Roosevelt's statement right after the report of the committee on permanent organization had been received and adopted and Mr. Root had become permanent chairman. The announcement by Mr Allen that he had a statement to make from Theodore Roosevelt led up to a noisy demonstration by , the Roosevelt men lasting 20 minutes. The convention—the fifth day—began at 10:40, Saturday morning, when Senator Root's gavel whacked the table in some unusually vigorous strokes. The convention had been adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock, but at that hour only a few delegates were In their seats.

ALSO GAVE HIS PERSONAL AFFAIRS PREFERENCE. Governor Declares Official Guilty of Misfeasance and Malfeasance in Office—Miner Cases of MIs- . conduct ' Governor Chase S. Osborn has made public his charges against State Tax Commissioner Robert H. Shields. In 21 separate counts Shields is charged with drunkenness, misfeasance and malfeasance in office. The governor gives specific lists of various properties in Lansing and Detroit that he alleges were underassessed alleges that a member of the commission failed to visit each county every year as required by law and that more than 10 clerks were employed by the board. Probably the most serious charge is that Shields attempted to influence various daily newspapers by threats of increasing their taxes. The governor in his charges practically presents a brief, which was evidently drawn up by a lawyer, as the argument is presented that by reason of his connection with various mining companies Shields' position on the tax commission is incompatible and that he 'made many unnecessary trips from Houghton in connection with bis official work. It is also charged that the board did not hold the necessary number of meetings and that out of 23 meetings Shields was abesnt from twelve. Shields is cited to appear on June 25 to make answer to the charges, and some spicy facts are looked for when the matter is taken up. The governor himself is a member of the commission and therefore an interested party in the work of the commission. . ,. » Eagles Close Convention.

Michigan is to have a new electric railroad if the state railroad commission authorizes the company to incorporate. Representatives of the Michigan Lakeside & St. Joe Electric railway appeared before the commission in Lansing and asked authority to incorporate with a capitalization of $760,000. The proposed road will have Michigan City, Ind„ for its starting point and if the present plans materialize St. Joe will be the Michigan terminal. The distance between these points is 40 miles, 30 of which are in this state. Increases Capitalization. The state railroad commission authorized the Centervllle Water & Electric Light Co. to increase its capitalisation from $10,000 to $85,000. The plant of this company is located at Centervllle, St. Joseph county, and it-is understood the increase in capitalisation will permit the concern to build additions to its lines and enable it to reach into new territory. clans and nurses.

Considerable mystery surrounds Flint.—At a special meeting of the board of trustees of ' the Michigan School for the Beaf, plans for a group of tbxee. closely £<$in$Cted buildings to take the place of the main building of the school destroyed by fire about a month ago were approved. The plana were prejjared by E. A. Bowd, a Lansing architect, and pro- Vide for fireproof construction. No estimate of the cost of the buildings accompanied the plans, which must go through a prpcess of approval by the state board of corrections and charities, the state board of health and the state board of auditors before they are finally adopted. The work of clearing away the ruins of the bumed building is now in progress, about 30 men with teams being employed In the work. Kalamazoo. — Although the four conductors who were taken in custoday by officers, but were later dismissed, are believed to have stolen thousands of dollars from the Michigan United Traction company, It was announced that they would not be prosecuted.- All have* made written confessions of the charges. A. B. Chapman, a Kalamazoo man, was arrested and will be held pending an investigation. Chapman is the man to whom some of the tickets collected by the interurban conductors were given to sell. The conductors, it is said, have made big Bums of money by taking tickets, not punching thefci when collected, and" then turning them over to scalpers to sell. But this was only one of the schemes used to defraud the company. Cadillac—That his wife attempted his life with a shotgun is the statement of Samuel Adams of Manton, whose wife was brought to the county jail, and who is being held pending an investigation as to her sanity^ The woman is about 55 years old, and it has been only recently that the first signs of a mental breakdown were noticed. Jealousy of her husband is said to be the reason for her attetript upon him with^a shotgun. He escaped uninjured. Ionia.—Clayton Masters was arrested on a forgery charge.

The story has been told so often that there is Scarcely a new angle from which to view It,, but to the younger generation of Americans the thrilling ride of Caesar Rodney Is not so familiar as it well deserves to be, and will bear re-telling. The final debate in Congress, in the committee ol the whole, upon the adoption of the Declaration ol Independence, began at 9 o'clock on Monday, July 1. On that day Pennsylvania, seven of whose delegates were present, voted against adoption. The vote of Delaware, having two delegates present, was divided. Thereupon McKean, of Delaware, who had voted affirmatively, wrote a frantic letter to the absent Delaware delegate, Caesar Rodney, imploring him to come and cast his vote, and thus turn the scale for Delaware. Rodney at the time was 80 miles away, at Dover, at one or the other of his farms, Byfleld and Poplar Grove. He suffered tortures from the cancer, which, starting on bis nose, had spread so that he had to wear a all over one side of his face. PENDENCE •green silk shield to hide the •disfigurement; it was of this chronic affliction that he died. A contemporary chronicle describes him as "an animated skeleton—Indeed, all spirit, without corporeal integument." McKean'a messenger left Philadelphia late in the afternoon of July 1. It was necessary to get Rodney hack to Independence Hall t>y July 4, the day appointed for taking the vote upon the adoption of the Declaration. All night, all day he rode at top speed; and Rodney is supposed to have started on the return journey in the evening of the second. That ride of Rodney's deserves to go down in history ' alongside of Paul Revere's And Philip Sheridan's. In def a u l t of missing detail the •imagination must provide the Vplcture of the tall, gaunt * spectre of a man, half- $*T*~* masked and riding like a demon, urging.his steed •onward through the night with whip and spur, Along a road abounding In pitfalls, with black mllea separating one warm, yellow cabin light from the next What wai he thinking of as be rode onward?- Not of the pain of the cancer, slowly eating away his countenance and sapping his vitality; not of the risk he ran, a solitary horseman, of belnr waylaid and robbed or murdered upon the lonely journey. He heeded not the hunger and the sleeplessness; he was thinking only of the fact that his vote would turn the ... -day for Delaware;-Delaware, though a little state, f'-Xk--' m r h t influence Pennsylvania, and so the vote of ^ e colonies would be unanimous for a declara- / tfcn that would immortalise the men who made i;?^lvl e»4 signed It, and enfranchise the people or the irteen colonies and their descendant*. ISteftTdsy, thursday, July 4, as the members w«r* aaeembJing at the State bouse door, a (rider, toqtried, and spurred and covered with, the dost of ttlgnx and day travel, dismounted 1¾ their midst* .and then, a little later, Caesar Rodney rote in hit place, still breathing hard, and said, "I vote for independence," the result was that the vote of Delaware was cast in favor of the. Declaration. Pennsylvania, by three of her live delegates present, supported Delaware's action, and thus by the ride of Rodney the unanimous vote of the coloniea (with the solitary and temporary exception of New fork) was that day secured for the Magna -Charta of our American liberties, «tt waa 2 o'clock in the afternoon." Lomsfng tells utr"when the final decision was announced by Secretary Thompson. When the secretary tat • down '* deep silence pervaded that august assemtSy. Thousands t>f anxious cltisens had gathered in the streets. From the tour When Congress con* vened in the morning the old bellman had been steeple. He placed a boy at the door below *iv« him notice when the announcement tbonld csade. As hour succeeded hour, the graybeard *f*feea*; afttf said, They wttt nevef a* *t! wttl never de it!' Suddenly a loud sbettt yip from below, and thewr* stood the'ehMboy, clapping his hands and shouiing King! ffcsf!" tJraeplng the iron tongue of the oM 'beM> backward and forward he hurled it 100 timet, tie fomtf vesce preclaimlftf 'Liberty throughout all cfa»ta*d, unto all the inhabitants thereof.' The excited nultltude ill the streets responded erlth It la to the everlattlng fame of ThOmaa Jefferv% son that his hand drafted the Declaration of Independence. Among hlB papers he left many letters and documents which throw a flood of light upon the motives and objects of that gathering of American statesmen. He told the following anecdote characteristic of Benjamin Franklin: "When the Declaration of Indepenw* dence was under the consideration of fj Congress, there were two or three un- ^** lucky expressions in it which gave offense to some members. The word* jgUl 'Scotch and other foreign auxiliaries,' fJJH excited the ire of a gentleman or two " ^ ^ of that country. Severe strictures on the conduct of the BritlBh king, in negativing our repeated repeals of the law which permitted the importation of slaves, were disapproved by some southern gentlemen. Although the offensive expressions were immediately yielded, these gentlemen continued their depredations on other parts of the Instruments. I was sitting by Dr. Franklin, who perceived that I was not insensible to these mutilations. "'I have made it a rule/ said be, 'whenever In my power, to avoid becoming the draftsman of papers to be received by a public body. I took my lesson from an incident which I will relate to you. When I was a journeyman printer, one of my companions, an apprentice batter, having served out his time, was about to open shop for himself. His first concern was to have a handsome signboard, with a proper Inscription. He composed It in these words: "John Thompson. hatter, makes and sells hats for.ready money," with a figure of a hat subjoined. But he thought be would submit it to his friends for their amendments. The first he showed it to thought the word "hatter" tautologous, because followed by the words, "makes hats.'* which showed he was a hatter. " It was struck out The next observed that tbe word "makes" might as well be omitted, because his customers would not care who made the hats. If good and to their mind, they would buy by whomsoever made. He struck it out. A third said he thought the words, "for ready money." were useless as It was not the custom of the place to sell on credit. Everyone who purchased expected to pay. They were parted with, and the inscription now stood, "John Thompson sells hats.*4 "Sell* hats," says his.next friend.- "Why. nobody will expect you to give them away. What, then. Is the use of that word?" It wsa stricken out, and "hats" followed it—the rather as there was one painted on the board. So his Inscription was reduced ultimately to "John Thompson" with the figure of a hat subjoined.'" In a letter (o the editor of the Journal de Parts. Jefferson gives the following account of the adoption of the DecleraUo* of independenee. "On the 9th of June, 177«, the delegates from Virginia moved, In obedience to Instructions from their* conettattote, that Congress should declare the Thirteen United <Jc4eaJ*» to be independent of Onset Britain, that a confederation should be formed to bind them together, and measures be taken tfor procuring tbe assistance of foreign powers. The house ordered^ a punctual attendance of sal their members the next day at 1* o'clock, and -then resolved themselves into a com* tnJtte* ot the wkets, and entered on the discus* aio»< A-appeared-to-tee course of debates that seven state*, vis., New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode (stead, Connecticut, Virginia. North COOKING IN THE OPEN DELIGHTFUL SIDE OF OUTDOOR LIFE IN SUMMER. Carolina and Georgia, were decided for a separation; but that six others still hesitated, to wit: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and South Carolina. Congress, deslrouB of unanimity and seeing that the public mind was advancing rapidly to it, referred the further discussion to the 1st of July, appointing In the meantime a committee to prepare a Declaration of Independence, a second to form Articles of Confederation of the States, and a third to propose measures for obtaining foreign aid. "On the 28th of June, the Declaration of Independence was reported to the house, and was laid on the table for the consideration of the members. On the 1st day of July they resolved themselves into a committee of the whole, and resymed the consideration of the motion of June 7 (declaring Independence). It waB debated through the day, and at length was decided in tbe affirmative by the vote of nine states, viz: New Hampshire, Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland. Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia. Pennsylvania and South Carolina voted against It. Delaware, two members present, was divided. The delegates from New York declared they were for it, and their constituents also; but that the Instructions against it which had ben given them a twelvemonth before, were still unrepealed; that their convention was to meet in a few days, and they asked leave to suspend their vote till they could obtain a repeal of their instructions. Observe that all this was in a committee of the whole Congress, and that according to the mode of th-olr proceedings, the resolution of that committee to declare themselves Independent waa to be nut to'the same persons reassumlng their forms as a Congress. "It was now evening, the members exhausted by a debate of nine houre, during which all the powers of the soul bad been distended with the magnitude of tbe object, and the delegates of South Carolina desired that the final decision might be put off to the next morning that they might still weigh In their own minds their ultimate vote. It was put off. and in tbe morning of the 2d of July, they joined the other nine states In voting for it The members of the Pennsylvania delegation, too, who had been absent the day before, came in and turned tbs vote of their state in favor of independence, and a third member of the state of Delaware, who, hearing of the division in the sentiment of his two colleagues, had traveled post to arrive In time, now came in and decided the vote of that state also'for the resolution. Thus 12 states voted for it at the time of its passage, and the delegates of New York, tbs thirteenth state, received Instructions within a few days to add theirs to the general vote; so that there was apt a dissenting voice. "Congress proceeded Immediately to consider the Declaration of Independence which bad been reported by their commute on the 28th of Jane. The several paragraphs of that were debated for three days, vix: the 2d, 2d and 4th of July. In the evening of the fourth they were finally closed, and the instruments approved by an unanimous vote, and sighed by every member, except Mr. Dickinson." The first celebration of our national birthday took place in Philadelphia four days after the adoption of the Declaration of Independence. July 8, 17tG, with all the clamor and rejoicing that today heralds its approach. Amid the hus* tea of the people the king's arms were torn down, the troops paraded, and on the commons the proclamation was read before each of tbe five battalions; Bonfires biased in the evening, can* non were fired, bells were rung, and the populace celebrated generally. The next day General Washington arrived in New York and took charge of the demonstrations there. Tt seems to take us into the long ago wben we read that "thejr hurried the newt forward to Boston, and the messengers made such incredibly fast time that they reached the Hub by July 8.?

Cooking in the open, air is a tie* lightful side of outdoor life in tho summer, and those who love the real gypsy thing scorn the oil stove used by amateur campers. A fire ib made on the bosom of good Mother Earth, and the camper or picnicker who can arrange it so that the smoke will be carried away in pome simple and sensible manner is the oae who, after the cook, is most necessary to the party. A fireplace with a chimney behind can be made of stones and mud Jn a few minutes by several pairs jof hands, but it must be placed so that the wind will be behind the cook. After the wood has burned down to coals the ordinary campfire put over stones or between them is useful, and an iron griddle, a frying pan and a coffee or tea pot are the chief tools needed for quite a good m^il. Hut before yon make the Are find out If a permit is required, as it would he in the Adirondacks and in many other densely-wooded districts. A forest fire may be a great tragedy, and when it is caused by willful carelessness it becomes a crime punishable In many districts with a considerable fine. Here are some recipes for the vacation cooking spree done under lawful conditions: Hoe Cake.—Take two ounces of corn meal and pour over it enough boiling water to wet it all and swell the grain. Then mix to the consistency of a thin batter with more hot water, adding salt to taste. Heat the griddle quite hot over the gypsy campftre, grease it with a bit of salt pork, and then pour on the corn batter in a thin cake. When the cake is parched on tme side turn on the other and serve hot. with butter. It takes about five minutes to cook each cake, but If It Is made the size of a laige griddle it will do for three persons. Fried Fish.—If a supply of fresh finny creatures is handy, whether these are caught by the party or not, a dish of hot fried fish will prove a delicious event at an open-air meal. After the fish have been scalded and cleaned, wash them in several cold waters and then dry thoroughly on a clean cloth. Use the Bmall ones whole, leaving on the heads, and cut the others iiKfair-sized pieces. Salt and pepper and dip lightly In comraeal. Then try out a little salt pork in the frying pan, and when there is enough fat fry the fish a nice brown on both sides. Serve them on little wooden plates, covering each with a big, clean oak leaf.

Ripon will preach morning and evening; on the first two words in the Lord's Prayer,"Our Father." To these services we give all a cordial invitation to attend. Here is my defination of prayer. Prayer is helplessness casting itself on power; it is misery seeking peace; it is unholiness embracing purity; it is hatred desiring love; Prayer is corruption panting for immortality; it is the eagle soaring heavenward: it is the dove returning home; it is the prisoner pleading for release; it is tbe soul oppressed by the world seeking the shrine of peace in God. "Prayer is the burden of a sigh, ottered or unexpressed. The upward glancing of an eye when none bnt God is near. W. H. Ripon, pastor. 1 1 Ckink' Netef Patriotic services Sunday morning, June 30.

To a certain e x t e n t you have become a waterman; now learn seamanship. The lesson will take you- all your life Id learn, but you w i l l g e t three or four men's share of pleasure from the l e a r n i n g of it. You w i l l be learning something that no one else can teach you, and that you cau't pass on when you have done with it; something that will be exclusively and peculiarly your own; and In the process you will learn tp know yourself. You will find that you are worth knowing. At this stage of the game it will pay you well to cultivate the society of fishermen—not on their smacks, but ashore when their work is done. Like all men wbo have been pickled and salted down by the sea, they are a good-natured breed, and what many ot them know about knots and splices and.the use of the marllnspike Would fill volumes. If you are intelligent you will find that they like teaching you almost as much as they like whisky and tobacco—even your whisky and tobacco; when they find that you don't patronize them and won't be patronized, their hearts will go out to you—big, strong, sea-salted hearts; you will find that they have a brand of humor exclusively their own, and an insight that you never dreamed of. Their company is good. But beware of their ideas on seamanship! They will voice the usual belief that singlehanders are mad, and that any port in a storm Is better than no port; both of which beliefs are rank heresy! But listen to them when they talk of using the lead, for the sounding-lead is to a seaman what his nose Is to a hound, and more. They will probably tell you that a forty-pound anchor fa heavy enough for any one man to handle in a tideway, but as the size of the yacht you Intend to handle later on must depend on the size of the anchor you can manage without assistance, and on nothing else, you will do well to remember that there is a veteran who has been sailing single-handed around the English Coast for something like forty years, who uses an anchor weighing a hundred and twenty pounds, for a yacht of some thirty tons register! And he does cot buoy his anchor and leave it in a tide-rip when the glass Is falling and he 1« in a hurry to be off. He gets it up and inboard, and cats It down on deck sailor-wise before he starts. Things like that depend on seamanship; and seamanship can be learned only on the high seas from personal experience.- Spend most of your time, then, on the high seat in your little opett. saiUng'boat, and in your spare time study thewaya of fishermen. The basis of your future independence wfll be your sea-anchors and you most never- under any circumstances, or for any reasoo whatever, put to sea witfaoat one.

Any one but a single-hander who witnessed your early efforts would laugh at you; but after a UtV.a while-It will dawn on you that the only opinion la the world that really matters Is that of otnsr slngle-handers, and even then only to the exteat that it agrees with your own. A single-hander is always an opinionated man; and before you have been a year at the game you will be as opinionated as the rest of them. Fancy working hard for two seasons In an open boat and dreaming all the while, as you will be dreaming, of the little yacht you mean to have when you can trust yourself to handle her and feel that at last you can do her iustfce-7-and then sharing her w i t r * 1^^^1^1 WouMtrt'yolf rather wait even another season, If necessary, and have her all to yourself? One more season's' careful planning will do your prospects no harm. There will be thousands of throga to think of—not least of them is the rig and the tonnage of your yacht No one can advise youvon those two points, because no two singte-baaders think alike. But although no single-hander ever took aof ofte'B ad Vice regarding* the type or sise of yacht that he should purchase, there are certain broad rules that may be laid down for the guidance of the beginner. And the first of them is: Never buy a yacht of any kind without first of all sub* mlttlng her to the examination of an independent expert. Later on ypu will become an expert your* self, but as you intend to trust your yacht with your life it would , be an unseamaallke and fu> berty thing to do to Buy one without taking every reasonable and possible precaution. The next thing to bear in mind la that the last thing that you want for- your purpose is a yacht of the racing type. You are going to live on board your yacht^sjcaslbly-fbr weeka at a time. You need a yacht that will be dry and warm and com fortable. You want headroom down below, anc" room to cook and stow your stores and spare sails. And a large water tank is an absolute necessity. A yacht of the cruiser type1'Is what you mus't look out for. Whatever her rig, she must have a long, straight keel, so that she will heave to. and stay hove to, and take the ground, when necessary oi in case of accident, on an even bottom. One more rule must be emphatic ally laid down for the beginner's guidance, and that is that power in any shape or form, electricity, petroleum, eteam or gasoline, is something belonging to tha devil, to. be dabbled with perhaps by yachtsmen, but to be eschewed—along with alt other con trlvances of the devil—by the single-hander. Knowing what you know now of seamanship, you can cross t be Atlantic if you want to, and pick up the Bishop's Rock Light on the other side some fine* morning! Doesn't that appeal to you? Never forget, as you lie there in the bosom of theses, to pray for the unhappy landsman, who has to make bis bed on dry land and has yet to taste his freedom, and the feeling of unmitbxited Wise that belongs only to ihe single-hander! But he must be a selfish man, this elngle^acder, this bara&oY the deep who keeps to himself on hirJtttle yaj$t! Is he? Aft the other feUowi.* the men that Itnow, The sea does not breed selfish man.

Buyers are often surprised at the style in which so called turkey experts snip stock birds and also angry at the cruelty practiced or because they must pay extra express on clumsy crates. Our picture tells its story. That handsome gobbler has just ended a 200 mile trip and is fresh and !ng from the cellar into the chimney about two or three feet above the fireplace or grate. There is generally a wardrobe or close t^at the side of the chimney through which the pipe may run. The pipe should be 8 or 10 Inches in diameter, made of galvanized iron and perfectly air tight. • The" pipe should" fit the openings in the £oqr„ and the, chimney so as to aitaw no gases to escape in the closet, and tojmate the draught stronger.

Deafness Cannot Be Cored By local applications, as they cannot reach the deceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and tbat is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inlamed condition of tbe mucous lining of tbe Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the iffflamation can bw taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will oi destroyed forever; nine cases out eo ten are caused by Catarrh, which q nothing but an inflamed condition -f the mucous surfaces.

The Parsee, untrammeled by bis sur roundings, Is seen In Bombay in all his wealth of height and dress. The men are, without exception, tall, finely formed and stately and possess a robustness and beauty quite at contrast with their Hindu neighbors. Their street costume is a peculiar long white cotton gown, wide trousers of the same material and color and a tall miter shaped hat. They have a general reputation for sobriety, frugality and sagacity, and they seem to thoroughly understand the accumulation of fortunes, in this respect resembling the Hebrews. The wealthiest residents of Bombay are Parsees. Paper Drinking Cups. In the schools of Austria tbe children are taught to carry several sheets of writing paper in their pockets at all times. Then when a child is thirsty he can roll one of the sheets into a cone and make a perfectly serviceable cup, which may be placed, after being used, in the nearest waste paper box. £ow to roll the cones deftly is taught the children. The tearing of a notch aboat half an inch kmf near one end before-rolling"the cons serves to make the improved cup stronger. „>v •wlss indssawtfsn—. ftsjftjajjssiul secured its independence n}(4fciAfcstto-SwiM w»fc. .Jtejomnienced fcttt*. •» \em roost wttm«MSfiiBg r«~j gfrs#*»* levtl •'yih *Sw^ 'sssMistr** that si men ars" *W V " c**L »tfcti Vtbef*eftS4sves ft «f part » bosssest, • p w t sss» sag sjwssswy " > .

Thompson, Lansing; deputy grand high priest, After one fruitless ballot, following an all-night session, the democratic national convention at 7:10 o'clock Friday morning adjourned until 4 pclock Friday afternoon, when the great struggle for the presidential nomination will be resumed. In the first ballot there was neither sign nor token ot what would be the last chapter of the story. Votes were cast for eight men. The total columns showed under the several candidates these figures: Clark, 440½; Wilson, 324; Underwood, 117½; Harmon, 148; Marshall, 31; Baldwin, 22; Bryan, 1; Sulsser, 2; absent, 1; ndt voting, 1. The net result of the balloting was that all of the elements of the convention were left intact and unbroken In srengh. Chief among the unbroken quantities that were in part solved, by the early morning vote was the uninstructed list. The list originally containing 184 votes had been reduced to 178 by the dropping of the Philippines from the total, which same operation in political mathematics changed the total vote of the convention to 1,088 and made the number essential to a nomination 725¼ by the two-thirds majority rule of the convention & !

Jennings Bryan of Nebraska a thrice-laureled victor, reaffirmed leader of his party and most pronounced radical against "predatory wealth" among big political leaders of the day. At 8:15, Just after Chairman Olllo James had called the night seasion together, he-secured unanimous consent to the presentation of a resolution by Col. Bryan. >Joth)ng like it was ever offered to a convention before. It "resolved" the party Yreecfrom the control of predatory wealth and asked two rich delegateb*-Thoraa]rSF.. Ryan of Virginia and August Belmont of New York—be ousted from the convention. Because some declared the conveittioji had no right iq go behind a sovereign state in the dictation of who sholrHkQr should not he delegates, Col. Bryan withdrew the ousting part of the resonHipa and the remainder carried hysterically by a vote of 88« yeas, 196 noes, w i t h t w o not voting and one absent. ^ ^ \ Bryan" gave way under pressure of h i s friends, not from weakness, In modifying his resolution. The contention would never have beaten him even on the full text of his proposal. Bryan was sure of his ground. He would have commanded well above a majority had he persisted in his demand that Belmont h e thrown Outiof the New York delegation and Ryan be expelled from the Virginia delegation Although twethird* wars required.to pass the resolution under the point of order, the support of more than a majority would have been a moral victory for Bryan and .would have disrupted the convention than and there*.

There are many large hate displayed lor midsummer wear, and nearly all of them- show 'some peculiarity of brim, either'in upward lift or indentations or the- manner of trimming. There are sudden widenings or narrowings also, giving the hat unfamiliar lines about the brim edge, but these shapes are nevertheless well balanced and becoming about the face. As a rule srowna are medium In sise and domeshaped, and there is departure from tbia so infrequently that the brim may be said to.be the essential feature on .which to center attention. Besides the oddity of brims, It Is to be noted that the newest hats show much elaboration in trimmings. Bands of net or chiffon, frills of lace, maline folds, many flowers, velvet ribbons and plumage, are all cleverly managed, sq that the composition of a single'hat include* three or perhaps four material*. The art of the trimmer is more evident In using this variety .than in simply placing a tuft of jplumes, or a wreath of Sowers on a .graceful shape. Both simply trimmed and elaborately made hats are attractive, but the latter are more interesting. As an instance of this successful use of several materials on one hat, one of the rolling brimmed French sailors In white chip may be cited, TMiis MEMORANDUM PAD IS GOOD Will Be Found of Much Value In the Kitchen and Here le Easy Way to Make It. Perhaps in no room In the house is a memorandum pad more necessary than in the kitchen, and the one shown in the accompanying sketch has been specially designed for utilizing old half sheets of note paper.

The most difflcoU part, of the fitting of an ererdrapery is in keening the sides straight and situ In outline. The sttt. -skirt -4a now accomplished with an over-effect. There is every Indication that the Short, fanciful little coat In silk of one kind or another is to be an important item of the summer outfit this year. The eton, the bolero and a host of models more or less related to these two old friends are already in evidence, the less closely related coatees showing a leaning toward abbreviated mantle or dolman lines, in keeping with; the ubiquitous taffetas and their bouUtonees, niching and quillings. On the whole, these little wraps are picturesque and piquant. Perhaps some of them are a trifle too odd, but that depends a great deal upon the woman'who wears them.

And from the east tt>; the weat women have been . taught -alaj> - how uaaf uj . the screen,£aa be in a-decorative scheme. By screen' perhaps one inneqeibly means the uau&l fourfold arrangement but it-la alao meant to oonyey the flpely. carved «adrartlsti«aHy deeigned oak or aimilar wood erection which one flndjeometlmes used instead of doors. But each a screen must be in the right plftgfc aad^d^p^a^ra have long since realised bow fine an effect can be produced by the right Mad of screen in the right place. . r And now architects are commencing' to know its value, and In modern bouses th« screen is, to a certain fkte^ nt, replacing the oid-fashlpned door. That If to say, in a "house boasting of five rooms, and not in a suburban villa residence. By the substitution of the screen for the ordinary door a house of vistas Is the result. Long rooms leading one from the other, the decoration of each so arranged that the color scheme and furnishing seem to blend artistically to form a perfect whole. And that Is where the decorator triumphs. Today the four leaf screen has perhaps reached a culminating point in artistic conception, and In the exquisite handwork which distinguished the screens which come to America from Japan, although there are many beautiful examples which are made here. For instance, for a Louis XV. drawing room nothing could be more In harmon with the period than a screen in tapestry. The latest Japanese screens are the work of artists who understand and appreciate the blending of the most delicate and the most crude colors, and the result la a masterpiece of needlework. On a dark background one design represents a tall tree standing in a meadow, and In the long grass are seen tiny white wild flowers. In an other panel there is a tree overlooking a pool, the branches casting deep shadows in the water. The framework of the screen is lacquer. Another beautiful screen represents Mount Fujiyama and the Inland sea, the rosy light refleeted from the enowclad peak shining on the water; beside the lake, standing sentinel, there is a tall tree, the light shining on the trunk and turning it to green and, grol<|. In tbs water there are some white ducks disporting themselves. Bach panel of th|s screen forms a complete picture. Perbaps the moat beautiful of all waa the acreen in dull black cloth, which formed a perfect background for the scene depicted, tall purple and white iris growing in a pool, the tall, spiky leaves being so absolutely perfect and the flowers so wonderfully worked as to make one doubt whether It could be embroidery. Over the pool hovered a solitary bird with a red and blue head and a long red bill, which gave the little touch of color which the picture needed. $ Wk TOH- if * SOMS WHO HILPED KILL PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY RUNNING, Several Oping Back t o Old OeeupatJone— Ueut*Gov.

Fir Coigreu it tit Slxtl District The Hon. 8. W. Smith of Pontiac is in the race for renomina* tion. Mr. Smith has proved himself to be the right man in the right place. Always on the right side of every question of national importance, he has always worked for the best interests of his otrastituents. There was never a request made by any person in the sixth district to him for his official assistance but what received from him prompt attention and a reply and if he could aid in any way he was always ready. H i espoused the cause of rural mail delivery in its infancy and did as much as any member of congress to make it general so that the farmers of the country could be in touch with the whole world every day. His personal work in congress for the reduction of the cost of carrying the mail on the railroads ox the country resulted in a saving of over five millions of dollars. The old soldiers of the> district have reason to appreciate his service to them. In tact, he has been a true representative of all the people ot the sixth district, and we predict his nomination at the primariaa and his election in November,--tfvingaton Republi* Point of Honor Bert aatat laso the house with a whoop of deUant Rs dashed out Into the Woken, where his mother was saafcJatT a pie for dinner, and Instantly • ^ — « ~ WOK "Bar, awtherr he shouted.
