The uiau who conducts his business ou the theory that it doesu't pay and he can't afford to advertise, sets up bis judgment in opposition to that of all the best business men in the world. Says an experienced advertising agency: "With a few years' experience in conducting a small business on a few thousands of capital he assumes to know more than thousands whose hourly transactions aggregate more than his do in a year, aud who have made their millions by pursuing a course that he says doesu't pay." If advertising doesn't pay, why is it that the most successful merchants of every town, large or small, are the heaviest advertisers? If advertising doesn't pay who does the most business? If it does not pay, business firms in the world spend millions in that way. Is it because they want to donate those millions to the newspaper and magazine publishers or because they don't know as much as much about business as the six-for a-dollar merchant who says money spent in advertising is thrown away or donated to the man to whom it is paid? Such talk is simply ridiculous and it requires more than the average patience to discuss the proposition of whether advertising pays or not with that kind of a man. His complacent self-conceit in assuming that he knows more than the whole world i» laughable and reminds us of the man who proved that the world doesn't revolve by placing a pumpkin on a ntump and watching it all night.--Oxford Leader.

A Manitoba Steer Carries Off Similar Honors to Those Won by a Half- Brother in 1912. "When CWeneamock 1., the Aberdeen- Angus steer, owned' by Mr. McGregor of Brandon, Manitoba, carried, off the sweepstakes at the Chicago Live Stock Shov in 1912, it was considered to be a great victory for barley, outs and graBB versus corn, So that there might be no doubt of the superiority of barley feeding, Manitoba climate. and judgment in selecting the animal, Mr. McGregor placed in competition in 1913, another Aberdeen-Angus, a half-brother to the animal that won last year, and secured a second victory in the second year. In other classes he had excellent winnings, but the big victory was the sweepstakes for the best steer. This victory proved that Manitoba-grown barley and oats, and prairie hay, had properties better than any contained in corn, which in the pa^t has been looked upon as being superior to oilier grains in fattening i'!:d linishing qualities. Not only this, bit Giencarnock's victory proves that, the climate oi the prairie provinces of western Canada, in combination with- rich foods that are possessed by that country, tends to make cattle raising a success at little cost. Other winning* at the live stock Bhow which placed western Canada in the class of big victories were: Three firsts, seven seconds, and five other prizes in Clydesdales. The winners, Bryce, Taber, Sutherland, Sinton, Mutch, McLean, llaggerty, Leckie and the University of Saskatchewan are like family names in Saskatchewan. Each one had "the goods" that won honor to himself and combined made a name and record for Saskatchewan. Look at the recent victories won by •western Canada within the past three years, In February, 1911. Hill & Sons of Lloydmiu8ter, Saskatchewan, showed a peck of oats at the National Corn Exposition, held a t Columbus, Ohio, and carried off the Colorado silver trophy, valued at $1,500. In February, 1911¾. the same men, father and son, had a similar victory at Columbia, N. C, and,should they win in 1914 at Dallas, Texas, they will own the trophy. In 1911, Seager Wheeler of Rosthern won $1,000 in gold at the New York Land Show for the best 100 pounds of •wheat. In 1912 at the Dry Farming Congress at Lethbridge, Alberta, Mr. Holmes of Cardston won the $2,500 Rumley engine for best wheat in the •world. In 1913, at the Dry Farming Congress, held at Tulsa, Okla., Mr. P. Gerlack of Allen, Saskatchewan, carried oft the honors and a threshing machine for the best bushel of wheat shown in competition with the world. In 1913 at the International Dry Fanning Congress at Tulsa, Okla., Canada won the majority of the world's honors in individual classes, and seven out of the sixteen sweepstakes, including the grand prize for the beet bushel of hard wheat. The grand prize, a threshing machine, was won by Paul Gerlack for !best bushel of hard whe&L-_vhich •welched 71 pounds to the bushel, and Wan of the Marquis variety. In the district in which the wheat •was grown that won this prize, there •were thousands of acres this year that Would have done as well. Mr. Gerlack la to be congratulated, as well ae the province of Saskatchewan, and western Canada as a whole, for the great success that has been achieved in both grain and cattle.

Inniskeen, County Louth, Ireland.-— In America we are trying in a more or less cgnscious effort to make the schoolhouse the educational and social center and the school master a community leader. In Ireland without any set purpose this result is already secured. At Inniskeen, in county Louth, for example, John Quinu, the school master, is the big man. By virtue of his- natural qualities and by reason of his secretarial position in the co-operative association he is the farmers' banker, their business manager and adviser, their agricultural expert, and a temperance reformer. In fact he is the community leader. His schoolhouse is a social center for to it the people go for co-operative association meetings, for temperance lectures, and for public gatherings of all sorts. We have been to County Donegal and have seen what the co-operative enterprises centered at Dunglow have done for a region which is naturally unproductive. Under-the leadership of Paddy Gallagher, a native business genius, co-operation has brought comfort, relative prosperity and hopefulness to a community which was previously a desolate combination of peet bog and rocky hilleide. We have stopped here to see the results of co-operation when planted in a more fertile productive soil, for this portion of County Louth would compare favorably with the richest stretches of our own middle western states. The Average Irish Farmer, Anxious to find the average small farmer who is a member of the co-operative society and willing to talk about its affairs, we were directed to Edward Meeghan, who operated a farm out two Irish miles from the village. Ae we walked out to Meeghan's place the consciousness was forced upon UB that in this section Ireland Is far from being "starving Ireland." The fields are carefully cultivated—cultivated as they seldom are in the states. The hedges and walls are well kept. The heavy crops indicate a high degree of fertility. Each'cottage gives evidence of prosperity and self-respecting pride. Upon the faces of those whom we meet we see nothing to indicate that the local Irish are poverty Btricken or despairing. We find Meeghan on a 40-acre farm of which he is evidently and justly proud. The fertile fields, the stacks of rich grain, the high grade live stock, all demonstrate that it ie possible to make money hereabouts and that there is a promising future in the local agricultural situation. Buying Farms for Less Than Rent. Meeghan himself, a vigorous fellow, full of enthusiasm and hopefulness, explains that his father prior to his death had bought the land under the imperial land tenure^ctjprovidlng for an arbitrated value as between landlord and tenant The value once fixed the government paye for the land, and then permits the tenant who becomes a purchaser to repay the purchase price in sixty odd years, each year keeping up the Interest at two and threefourths per cent and paying in addition a small installment upon the principal. He tells how his father paid, as rent alone, 18 pounds per year, while he himself in buying the farm Is now paying, including both Interest and annual Installments on principal only 14 pounds per year. Quite naturally he has a keen appreciation of the land tenure laws which enabled him gradually to obtain the farm by the payment of less money each year than originally went for rent alone. Prevents*! Improvements. This is not to him the important thing, however. His father had previously been a tenant A new thatch on the barn, a new slate on the root or a new shed for the cow, could not be obtained in any way from the landlord. It must be contributed by the tenant who knew that 'within thirty days thereafter he might be put off the place. The natural result was to prevent all repairs and all permanent Improvements. Jn this entire region we have not been able to discover a single fruit tree that had been planted prior to the acquisition of the land by the tenant purchasers. In fact there are no mature fruit trees here. Where we have seen 4 new Urm building or any permanent repairs on old buildings or any other farm improvement inquiry Invariably has revealed that it had been added einoe the farm went into the hands of a purcasing tenant la other words, Meeghan and other tenant purchasers fee* now that in making repairs or Improvements they are working, for themselves, adding value to their own property, where formerly any improvements made were for the benefit of the laudlord for whom they had no particular liking. Farmer's Views on Co-Operation. We asked him what he thought of the co-operative society and what use he had made of it. "Before the co-operative society was organized," he said, "it was difficult to procure* fertilizers. While the department of agriculture analyzed the • soils and taught the farmers, £>y bulletin and otherwise, the elements which must enter into fertilizers it was absolutely impossible for the tenant to procure of the dealers fertilizer containing these elements in proper proportion Fertilizers were high too." Now, as he explained, the co-operative societies buy the elements going into the fertilizers and themselves mix them in the proper proportions. The co-operative association not only guarantees the quality of the fertilizers furnished to their members, but sells them at a greatly reduced price. That they are better than the manures purchased of the regular traders is evidenced by the actual effects upon the crope. Co-Operatlve Credit, It was evident that in Meeghan's estimation the greatest benefit to the members of the local organization is from the credit society branch of it. The farmers in this vicinity had been well taught and were anxious to improve their stock to get better implements, to use commercial fertilizers properly compounded, to plant better seeds. Before the co-operative credit association was organized they were unable to do anything of this sort. Since the co-operative organization has been in operation, however, it is easy to get from the society a small loan for any of these purposes and the farmers were In consequence steadily improving their property. In other words he seemed to think that the improvements in rural agricultural methods which we see everywhere would have been absolutely Impossible without this little local credit society. Meeghan himself through loans secured of the co-operative credit society had been enabled to purchase blooded slock and had bought improved implements and tested seeds. We found upon our return to the village that school was just closing and Quinn went with us to his home, which although modest, was as trim and comfortable as any village home which w% have ever been privileged to visit in America. He talked freely of the affairs of the' society, showed us the books and records and explained the methods and practices employed in the co-operative conduct of the business. A Simple Organization. The co-operative society has no headquarters and consequently has no rent lo_ pay. The home of iha-secretary is the office of the society. There the banking business as well as the other affairs of the society are conducted by him out of school hours. The little society has 500 members, each member having one share upon which he has advanced about Blxty cents. The credit society, a branch of the cooperative^ aesoclatlon, has 161 members. ".The society meets," he said, "four times each year. At those times the members give us orders for these goods which we handle cooperatively, Including seeds, manures. Implements and occasionally other articles. We go over the old accounts and arrange for their payment or extension. ' We talk over the plans of the society. We consult about local farm problems, about seeds, manures and rotation of crops, exchanging ideas as to methods of meeting various questions that arise. There is no co-oporatlve store here and we never keep articles in stock. We order seeds, manures or implements and notify^ the fanner when they arrive. He takes care of them generally within twsnty-four hours. We can do this because most of our members ere near by. We get everything a little cheaper and of better quality than do the regular traders. In nothing, however, has the Improvement in quality been mo marked as in seede and manures. How a Farmers' Bank Loans Money. "Our organisation loans money to' its members at 5½ per cent. To depositors we give three per cent on all deposits. We thus do business upon a margin 'of 2½ per c e n t On the other hand the Joint stock bank nearest here charges 6¼ per cent interest but pays only 2¼ per c e n t Interest on deposits. They require a margtn of tour per cent, on which to do bustneee. Not only have the joint stock banks e wider margin on the loans, but the worst of it is you cannot get a loan from a joint stock bank for more than three months. They never loan for longer than that time although sometimes, of couree, they will grant renewals. The trouble is that these renewals are hard on the farmer. These banks are only in the larger places ; Very often the farmer has to go some distance, take his sureties with him, pay their expenses, give them their dinner, and I am afraid sometimes treat them to liquid refreshments. If we have a man who wants money and he lives near by we simply ask him to bring in two good men as sureties, and j if they are all right and the man is honest and a good worker and his neighbors speak well of him there is no difficulty and very little formality in getting the loan. In addition to our deposits wo have- arranged for an overdraft from the Bank of Ireland at Dundalk. They co-operate with us in a friendly manner and help us much. "There has been a wonderful improvement in this community since the land tenure laws went into effect and the tenants are getting to be owners. It is a wonderful thing. People who were slovenly and whose premises were absolutely unfit to live in have now purchased their premises and are improving them and are living under much better conditions. They used to be afraid their rent would be raised if they fixed things up. The old age pension has helped many of the old people, for there are many pensioners in this vicinity." How t i t t l e It Costs. The books of the company show that the only expenses incurred are the compensation of the school teacher as secretary and manager, $60 per year; registration fees of $8 per year; and in addition postage and stationery to the amount of two or three dollars. The total of these items is only about $70, this being the only expense incurred for an entire year. The demand for small rural credit associations in Ireland Is very g r e a t The joint stock banks are not so well scattered throughout the rural section in Ireland as they are in some parts of the United States. Often the expense of traveling to the bank and the paying of the expenses of the sureties, as Quinn explained, is considerable. It is said that these expenses In addition to interest, make a small farm loan cost 20 to 40 per cent. If a young farmer is buying young stock, pigs, for example, it is far beyond the period of three months before they will be ready for sale. If he buys fertilizers he can expect no results for six to ten months. Returns upon good seede are equally slow in coming in and on the money placed in the new implements and equipment he gets returns still more slowly. For these mem a three months' loan is of little use. The inelastic city system of loans, doee not really help the borrower, but in a sense cripples him. It is only fair to state, however, that the large banks, although their methods are unsuited to the farmer, are on the whole honest and Just in their charges, and practices. The difRcu|ty Is that their methods of business make it absolutely impossible for the farmer to deal with them profitably. ""—-, How Character Counts. But here in Inniskeen and wherever in Ireland a co-operative credit society has been formed, any farmer, be he tenant or landlord, with a good reputation for honesty and Industry, can by furnishing two sureties from among his neighbors get any reasonable amount as a loan for one year. To do this involves almost no delay or trouble or expense. The bank is near by^ Cooperative farmers are neighborly citizens, ready to help one another out, so that sureties are easily secured. The interest is at a low rate. The borrower can rest assured that he will not be unduly crowded ae to repayment if misfortune should overtake him, for those with whom he deals understand fully his circumstances. In fact the committee which decides his fate is composed of farmers like himself who know what hard luck is, who have likely themselves been borrowers, who are friendly to him and will give him a chance. This is the form of credit loans most common in Ireland. Such a co-operative credit bank could be organised to' advantage, in many American communities particularly in those states where there are no banks in the smaller cities and villages. They will inevitably be organized in such communities unless bankers cease trying to force down the throats of the farmers the inelastic, unsuitable city methods of doing business. The question is, are the bankers going to crowd the farmers into these co-operative credit enterprises ? The banks must grant longer-time and more liberal and elastio terms on per* sonal loans. They must arrange for mortgages which run over longer periods of time and which are to be repaid in moderate installments as the slow farm profits come in. Oo-operative credit may not be necessary. It is up to the banker. (Ceprrtght, 1»14. Western Newspaper ttai«a.K — t w o — t m m * m m The diamond, output of German South Africa Is being - regulated to maintain prices.

FOR PROPER SWEEPING MATTER T H A T IS OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE. Practical Flan Should Be Devised and Lived Up To, and the Result Will Be Found Eminently Satisfactory. There is an art in sweeping a room, and it requires brains as well ad hands. Some housekeepers sweep dust into hall, or from one room into another, and then wonder why their house is so soon dusty again. First, dust all furniture that can be removed and set it in the hall. Clear the room of all loose articles and open the windows to give a free circulation of air. Dust that goes up must come down, and it will settle on one's hair and clothing as well as on the furniture. Rugs retain more dust than any other household articles, and children contract diseases by playing upon dusty rugs. Notice whether you are UBlMg the best method in sweeping. Never sweep toward door or corner, but from the edges toward the center with short, quick strokes, bearing down on the broom and lifting it back instead of dragging. Do not push stuff along with the broom, for this will break off splints, and a broom will not sweep clean with uneven splints. The majority of women always sweep with the same side of the broom to the front. This makes the broom lopsided, so that ft cannot be used in any other way, and the points of the splints get bent all one way, and they get together at the ends and cannot take hold of the dust as they should. The correct way to use a broom is to hold the handle vertically, so that all the splints in the face of the broom will take hold at the same time. Every day the broom should be turned around so as to sweep with a different side. In this way the broom wears evenly. To preserve brooms, dip them for three minutes in a pail of boiling soapsudes once a week, and occasionally in salt water to make them tough and pliable. A good broom holder may be made of two spools nailed to the wall about two Inches apart. The broom can be easily hung upside down between the spools. Ideas of* dusting are many and varied. Some dust only what is in sight, others what might be seen, and a few dust everywhere. As ordinarily performed dusting simply whisks the lint from one place to another. To begin right, draw the shades to the top of the window, and with stepladder and cloth, or long-handled brush, dust walls, cornices, pictures and cords, and wipe the carpet or rug breadth by breadth with a cloth wrung from water with a little ammonia or salt in i t Dustless dust cloths can easily be made at home by soaking squares of old flannel In paraffin or floor oil overnight, and wringing them out tightly. If they are washed in lukewarm water they will last indefinitely without resoaking. They will gather up every particle of dust, and leave a nice polish on furniture and floors. The unbeaten white of an egg stirred into cold water cleans polished surfaces well. Work in small sections, dry quickly and rub until bright Cloths must be soft and clean. Woodwork that has been stained only should be cleaned with a cloth slightly oiled and dusted with a dry cloth. White spots made by water or heat on varnished furniture are removed by rubbing with spirits of camphor. The very best duster for the highly polished wood of pianos, etc., is a good chamois skin dipped in clear water and wrung very dry so that it feels merely damp. A little ammonia in the water helps to remove finger marks. Bare floors are cleaned like any other woodwork. Waxed floors should be washed before rewaxing, but rarely at other times.

"It was a case of mistaken kindness," said Judge Stephen McK. Harris, in an address in Denver. "The man thought he wad protecting a counterfeiter, but, as a :natter of fact, he was proving that he had once been a counterfeiter himself. "It reminds me of the young lady sociologist who went to see a white slave play in New York. She was separated from her companion, another young lady sociologist, by two rows, and, thinking that the man next her was alone, she decided to ask him to change seats with her friend, so that they would not be separated. "With a sweet, demure smile, therefore, she laid her little hand lightly on the man's arm and said: " 'I beg your pardon, but you are alone, are you not?' "The man, a stout, red-faced chap, put his hand up to his mustache and whispered out of the corner of his mouth: " 'Cheese it, kiddo; the wife's neat me here.'" ECZEMA SPREAD OVER BODY Roxbury, Ohio.—"When my little boy was two weeks old he began breaking out on his cheeks. The eczema begap just with pimples and they seemed to itch BO badly he would scratch his face and causae a matter to run. Wherever that matter would touch it would cause another pimple until it spread all over his body. It caused disfigurement while it lasted. He had fifteen places on one arm and his head had several. The deepest places on his cheeks were as large as a silver dollar on each side. He was BO restless at night we bad to put mittens on him to keep him from scratching them with his finger nails.

Geological surveys of parts of th© Spitebergen show that there are immense deposits of superior coal in various places, and interested individuals and companies alike are planning to tap those resources and bring them upon the highway of international trade. Not many yeurs ago Spitzbergen was an unknown land, and for many years it was a resort only for whalers, shoremen and bandits. Various scientific expeditions have returned from time to time with valuable and interesting information. It is now apparent that in spite ef theice, cold and fog, Spitzbergen is a land fraught with many commercial possibilities. The coal is practically all on the surface, and deep mining is unnecessary. Prosperity Communistic. — A man cannot prosper in any honest business without benefiting the community as well as himself. For hecannot induce men to deal with him without offering them an advantage; and, taking all the transactions of lifetogether, the advantages which n e a offer to others must, on the whole, be equal to those which they receive* themselves. Doing business, therefore, is a very effectual and extended mode ef doing good; and the fortune which is acquired in doing it Is, in a very important sense, the measure and index ef the good done.—Jacob Abbott.

Holton's requisitions were promptly attended to. and by the time he had completed his packing at the club his tickets for the Florida Special had arrived. He lunched with Billy Holt of the ordnance department, and then took a hack to the station, where he found the train made up. He had several magazines in his hands, and settled down to read with his feet luxuriously resting on the other seat of his section. It was not many minutes, however, before he yawned broadly, and five minutes thereafter his. magazine had tumbled from hia hand and he was fast, asleep. As he fell into slumber two men approached the porter, and, throwing open their coats, displayed Secret Service shields. While their English was perfect, they were surely of the Latin race. "Ya-as, suh—all right, genTmen." Trie porter was very much impressed. "Ya-as, suh, go right along." "As they approached Holton'e section one of them stopped. "Well, here he is," he remarked. "YeB, and asleep, too. He's bound for Tampa for a surety." "Yes; but, now that he kindly sleeps, we might as well go farther." He bent down and carefully drew Holton's bag out Into the aisle. "Quick," he Bald, looking up, "the keys." H'is companion drew fronf his pocket a large bunch of keys, and the man tried several without e x c e s s Finally, becoming impatient, he drew the bag to the seat behind Holton, aud, drawing his knife, cut a long hole near the top. Then, inserting his hand and arm, he fished about for several minutes, but without feeling anything other than wearing apparel and toilet articles. Finally he straightened up and pushed the bag into the place whence it had^ been withdrawn with the frowning remark: "Well, we'll have to let him go; we've done our part." The two men spent some time i s the station, framing a telegram in cipher, which, when completed, was sent to Tampa, Then they disappeared. Holton In the meantime slept, and -was still asleep when the train moved out Awakened by a sudden turn of the cars, he started bolt upright and looked about him with only a vague idea as to where he was. When he came to a realizing sense of his situation he looked at his watch, and then tried to resume his nap. But this time he did not fall asleep, and so, •after fidgeting about for half an hour, lie decided to go into the smoker. He had some very excellent cigars 1a bis grip, and, pulling out the bag, he leaned down to unlock it, when he •aw the long hole which had been cut in the shining pigskin. He regarded the damage for a seox> nd with rising anger, and then unlocked the valise and searched it thoroughly to see what had been stolen. For his only idea was that some sneak thieves had taken advantage of his •lumber. But, finding everything intact, he was obliged to east about for another explanation. It WM then that the thought of spies ooeurred to him. Thus thinking, he rose from his seat «nd looked searchingly over the occupants of his ear. Almost the first person his eyes 'lighted upon was a girl in the section diagonally opposite him. One glance at her profile was sufficient to send HoHoff stumbling and gasping back Into his seat' The girl was Miss La Tossa, He thought for a moment Oh, to %e sure, he had risen to find out who had maltreated bis bag. Then—* Oood HeavensPxHolton's hands flew to his t*«e4 aft** sh# most approved ( A STORY OF THE^t V ^ FREEING OF CUBA* V, Lawrence Perry / r .. • - - ^, . —• IHu»rratlon» iry f Aj&vrrexiGe retry r EiiKwortHYountf Airtoorcf * JWMw r r ( h e % * r ^ ^ i)' rs^( ' manner of tragedy, and for a moment he tried to dismiss the surging thoughts from his mind. But no, the facts were large and luminous and not to be denied, and these facts were as follows: He had gone asleep in the car, his bag had been cut open and rifled. Now, then, Miss La Tossa had been designated by fnen who, should know whereof they spoke as a epy. Miss La Tossa was the only other person in the car—he paused. He just would not think it, that was all. So, picking up a magazine, he settled back in his seat and tried to lose himself in a serial story. For a while he kept his mind fairly well upon the tale, but eventually he found his thoughts straying to the girl In front of him. Eventually he flung the magazine aside and shifted about uneasily. After all, was he playing the game as he should? Silent contempt was all right if it were only noticed. But silent contempt when the person against whom it is directed does not feel it, is hardly a satisfactory course to pursue. With this thought, Holton arose from his seat and, with a self-conscious smile, bustled up to Miss La Tossa as though he had juBt discovered her presence. "Why, of all things!" he exclaimed. "How do you do, Miss La Tossa!" Her book fell to the floor and she looked up. "Mr. Holton!" she cried. "The very same," laughed Holton, "and may I ask what strange circumstances have brought us together again?" "I was just going to ask you that." Holton looked at her curiously, hardly knowing what reply to make, after such a check. "Where are you going?" he Inquired at length. "To Tampa and thence to my home," she responded. "Oh!" Holton shifted doubtfully. "I'm going to Tampa, too." "Really." "I trust if I can be of any service you will avail yourself of my presence, Miss La Tossa," he added somewhat formally. "Thank you. Won't you sit down? That's one service you can perform— talk to me; I'm dreadfully bored." Holton seated himself obediently. "Beastly raw and windy, wasn't it, today?" "Yea." Then she laughed at him unaffectedly. "What are you laughing at?" "At your brilliancy. Oh, you are masterly! And yet," she added, "they told me you were so clever." "I cannot help what people say," he began, and then, impatient at his obvious disadvantage, he changed the subject "I had the most curious thing happen to me on this train," he went on. "Now," she laughed, "you promise to be really entertaining. What was it? Do tell me!" "I boarded the car," said Holton, "and fell asleep—" She giggled, and he raised his hand impatiently. "I fell sleep, and while I slept some rascal cut a hole in my bag and rummaged through the contents." He glanced at her sharply. But her face revealed nothing except polite concern. "Indeed!" Bhe remarked. "Nothing was stolen," continued the officer, "and I cannot imagine why the thing was done." "I think, perhaps, I can tell you," she said calmly. "Ton were attached to the Scorpion. She had been testing out some new torpedo. You came to Washington on the eve of war, and now you hurry away again to Tampa. Certain persons were desirous to know whether your departure concerned the Scorpion, and your bag was searched for orders or other writings that might throw light upon the subject." "Ton are frank." Holton looked at her admiringly. "But how do you happen to know all this?" "Because I'm a spy." Holton's face assumed the color of a perfectly ripened tomato. "You—you—" Her hearty laughter brought him to a pause. "How astonished yon seem to be!" She regarded him humorously. "Why," she added, "I really believe he thinks now I out open his bag." Holton brought himself np with a Jerk. "Miss La Tossa," he said, "1 bow to you. You can deprive a man of speech about as handily as any person I ever knew. Of course, you're not a spy!" "Do you really believe that?" Her eyes were serious now. "Do you?" "Yes," he returned desperately. "Then, Mr. Holton, I beg to inform you that I am a spy." Holton received the girl's announcement with bowed head, and as he didn't speak she looked at him with defiant eyes. "I am a Cuban. I am not a professional spy, as you may imagine. I fear I am not a spy at all in the high sense of the term. But I have tried to serve my country; 1 shall continue to do so. My country is in peril. I could be, I was born to be, I fear, a pleasure-loving butterfly. But I have found that there are ways in which my country has need even of poor me." "Yes, but we need not be enemies." Holton's voice was very earnest. She did not reply, and Holton added: "I applaud your motives, but surely you do not imagine Cuba to be in danger at the hands of the United States. I should think Spain would be your object, and if the United States. I ask you why?" Still, she did not answer, and Holton, shrugging his shoulders, impatiently repeated his question. "Why?" "Do you know, Mr. Holton," she said after a moment's pause, "that every mile southward this train flies increases my happiness. It is so pleasant to feel you are nearing home." "You have not answered my question, Miss La Tossa." "And I do not intend to answer it." Indignation was coloring the naval officer's mood. "Look here, Miss La Tossa, I like you. If the honest admiration of a man is anything to you, you can make the most of that statement. And so I ask you with the friendliest motives —why should you think it necessary to pry into the affairs of the United States?" "I am an enemy to any enemy of my country, and by enemy I mean any He Cut a Long Hols. person or group of persons whose good-will toward us may be Questioned." Then you infer that the United States is not noting in a war to show good-will to Cuba!" Holton was thoroughly outraged. "Well, I'll be hanged if that isn't gratitude!" "If you don't mind, Mr. Holton," she said sweetly, "I should like to read now." Holton hustled out of the seat in a great huff. "Oh, certainly, by all means; most assuredly," he burst out, and returned to his seat As he sat there thinking, the train stopped at a small station to change engines. When it started again the conductor came into the smoker calling Holton's name. He responded, and the conductor gave him s long, official appearing dispatch. The message ran at follows: "Holton: "Congress declared war today. Sampson wl 1' be ordered to blockade the Cuban coast. Troops will mobilize at Port Tampa. They will proceed thence in transports to Cuba. You will remain in Tarnpa, availing yourself of the Gnat [a small torpedo boat, built for a battleship to carry] to prevent any attempt to destroy transports. You will watch Cuban camp at Tampa for developments regarding matters already brought to your attention arid will hold yourself in readiness to laud secretly on Cuban soil to perforin intelligence work with regard to location and movements of Spanish warships. You will work under direct orders of the Secretary [Long]. ROOSKVELT." "Whew!" Holton sat back In his seat. So war had "come. What would happen now? So far as he was concerned, Holton was likely to be well in the forefront. He was exalted, thrilled in every fiber of his being. He put the dispatch in hia pocket and walked back through the train to his car. As he reached Miss La Tossa's section he found her folding up a bit of paper and putting it in her waist. Had she, too, received a dispatch? Holton did not doubt It. So he wasted no words. "Well, it has-come to pass," he said; "war has been declared, and within a lew months Cuba will be as free as even you could wish." "God grant it," she murmured. Holton held out his hand. "Good night, Miss La Tossa," bx said. She shook his hand cordially, lingeringly even. "Good night," she replied. Her eyes sought his, and for a moment it seemed as though she were going to speak. Then she turned away. Holton waited an instant, and then he, too, averted his face. "Good night," he said again, and went to his own berth, where the porter had completed his preparations, Select a person with a hot temper if you want a warm friend. CHAPTER V. Mysterious Messages. At Tampa Holton met and had breakfast with several army engineers who had been engaged in laying out camp sites in the pine woods back of j Tarnpa. Then in the afternoon he proceeded on to Port Tampa, nine miles a ay. Ahead, rising into the blue sky liko some dream palace in Sahara, the Tampa Bay Hotel, with its brick walls and gleaming silver domes and minarets. It brought hope to his heart, and his steps were more springy as he hurried toward the irnmense structure. A negro boy took his bag as he entered the lobby, and the clerk smiled as he had not done since the winter throng left the hostelry early in March. After a bath and shave he set out to the bay to view his new command. He found her in charge of an able seaman, Conroy, who welcomed him with enthusiasm. Holton stepped aboard and chuckled when he recalled the comparatively large deck space of the Scorpion. The Gnat was almost a toy craft, and yet her regulation torpedo gun on the after deck, the machine gun forward, and the little conning tower, heavily plated with steel, gave adequate hint that she was by no means built for pleasure. "It Is likely we'll be busy before long, Conroy," he said. "I'll have my luggage brought down from the hotel and come aboard at once. How many men have we?" "Only Howard, the engineer, and me," was the reply, "All right. The fewer the better. I'll return shortly, and perhaps take her out." Whereupon Holton stepped out with a blithe stride. In the lobby of the hotel he burled his face in a Washington newspaper and spent a half-hour absorbing the war talk of the day. His reverie was interrupted by a hotel page, who handed him a card bearing the name Jose Rodriguez, Havana. "Mr. Rodriguei wishes to tocow if you will do him the honor of falling upon him in his rooms," announced the boy. "Rodriguez! And who is he?" "He's a very wealthy Spaniard who has been here some time." "Well, then, you will tell Mr. Rodrigues that if he wishes to see me, hell find me here." "Yes, sir, I'll tell him that," and the boy hurried away. "I like the nerve of that," growled Holton, returning to his paper. In a few moments the page stood before him again. "Well?" Holton looked up impatiently. "Mr. Rodriguez said, sir, that he does not w-bsh to speak to you in tht lobby, and that it will be best for you if you visit him as soon as you can in his rooms." Holton flushed angrily. "Say, boy, get this straight. You give Mr. Rodriguez Mr. Holton's com pllments, and say to Mr. Rodrigtei th vt Mr. Holton says for him to go u the devil."

Mrs. Dan Crauford, whose book "Thinking Black" has created considerable controversy, mentioned some extraordinary Central African "dishes" in the course of a recent lecture. These included stewed elephant's trunk, roast rhinoceros foot, boiled hippo tongue (stewed 48 hours to make it tender), roast wild donkey, stewed monkey, roast water rat, head, tail and all, and the luscious morsel, which a chef provided as a state delicacy, of a mess of thousands of white ants, frizzled In their own fat, like a sort of Central African whitebait. Also there was a special dish, much favored, of starchy boiled grass, "green and glutinous." Mrs. Crauford also told of the Central African "knuts." The young bridegroom wore a necklace of teeth and hairs of the elephant's tail, and a fur boat, which any East End lady would envy, of squirrel skins, gray and white, the toilet being completed possibly—for all European garments were fashionable—by one of Mrs. Dan Crauford's skirts specially lent for the occasion. 8CHOOL TEACHERS.

"Ten years ago I was obliged to give up my much-loved work in the public schools after years of continu* ous labor. X had developed a well defined case of chronic coffee poisoning. "The troubles were oonstlpaUon, fluttering of the heart, a thumping In the top of my head, and various parts of my body, twitching of my limbs, shaking of my head and, at times after exertion, a general "gone" feeling, with a toper's desire for very strong coffee.

The ghastly legend of the Minotaur preying upon the bodies of the tribute youths and maidens in his impenetrable labyrinth has been proved to bare had a solid foundation of historical fact. The Labyrinth has been brought to light, an extraordinary complex of nails, stairways, chambers, cells, and corridors, which thoroughly explains t o w the unfortunates who entered it as -captives came to believe that no .stranger could escape. Strange and terrible must the labyrinthine palace j the of Knossos have appeared to foreign feeh,6hters, and grim and barbarous indeed— though hiding their cruelty beneath a veneer of culture—must the great palace—probably slaves. Rut all as yet await interpretation. Crete has so far yielded no representative of the Rosetta Stone. The stages by which the picturepeople that built and inhabited it have t writing of early Crete developed into eeen, unless all the evidence has been grossly misread and misinterpreted. It Is to be feared that the tribute of youlhe and girls from subject states -was a fact. To Knossos they were "brought, and there, confined in deep, emoothwalled pitlike enclosures, they dragged out their lives until the day •when they were brought forth, unaraaea and defenseless, to face the charge of bulls In the arena. Their one faint hope, as we may see by the frescoed pictures, was to catch the beasts' horns and vault over them. £n nine cases out of ten, as we may ne only too sure, the fate of the haplest «aptlve was to be gored to death t o make a Minoan holiday. I*i many ways, however, Minoan ctvttiaattou was of a very high type. The towns were well planned and well built, with commodious and comfortable houses, provided—wonder of wonders— with a proper drainage system. In art and architecture the achievements of the Minoan* were noteworthy. Most remarkable of all, they possessed a well-developed system of writing, thus exploding the old theories of Greek and pre-Greek illiteracy. So secure they seemed behind the .guard of their ships that they dwelled 1 fearlessly in unfortified cities, not, as the lords of Mycenae and Tiryns,- beaiad gigantic wall-rings. Yet a time came when the erstwhile ever-victorious mavy failed In its task, and a catastrophe occurred whereof some Teeerd lingered long In Hellenic traditioi*^ The foes—were they Achaeans? —ran their galleys ashore on the beaches of Crete, and the end came. 'Imperial Knossos vanished In sack *&tf conflagration; her people were dealt such measure as they had often meted out. But the memories of Mints lingered long, and at last, after the lapse of more than thirty centuries, Sir Arthur Evans wrung from the soil of Crete convincing evidence -of the might of the Minoans if sot, •as yet, of an actual being named IMiaes. Fiom the ruins ef the Minoan cities hare been disinterred thousands of in- «er4eed tablets, very largely, as it -would seem, dealing with administrative and financial matters—like the -vast hoards of clay documents found among the remains of the cities of Mesopotamia. A regular system of numeration has been detected, and It ils thought that certain tablets relate ito chariot wheels, arrows, and other warlike stores. Others appear to be lists of men and women belonging to an elaborate system of hieroglyphs and thence into the linear script, with which the Knossian tablets are for tbe most part covered, are fairly well marked. With a keen and practical people the necessity of simplifying a cumbrous hieroglyphic system for everyday needs would be apparent. Certainly the Minoan script appears to be much simpler than the cuneiform writing of Mesopotamia. Nevertheless, the old system and the new appear to have flourished side by side, and perhaps to some extent in conjunction, until Minoan culture was destroyed or displaced by the new Inhabitants of Crete. Perhaps the most famous of the Cretan hieroglyphic inscriptions is that of the "Phaestos disc." The disc is a roughly circular clay plate about *6.67 inches in diameter, covered on both faces with a hieroglyphic inscription which in each case colls round from the center outwards. It is by far the largest hieroglyphic inscription yet discovered in Crete. It contains some 241 signs and 61 sign groups, and it exhibits the remarkable peculiarity that tvery sign has been separately impressed on the clay while in a soft state by a stamp or punch. It is, in fact, a printed inscription. So much appears certain, that the Phaestos disc was not Inscribed by Minoans. The signs differ greatly from those of the Knossian deposits. Four-fifths of them are quite different and the remaining part do not always closely resemble those of Crete. There is no trace in the human figures of the wasp waist we have already learned to seek in the portraitures of the men and women who moved about the palace of Minos. The male figures all seem to have shaven heads. Those of females aro broad, squat, and ugly, very different from the slim Minoan damsels with their dainty "Parisian" dresses. There is a ship unlike those depicted at Knossos and a building astonishingly like the Lycian tombs, whereof specimens are preserved in the British museum. Sir Arthur Evans came to the 'conclusion that the inscription probably had some religious significance. He also thinks that it was the work not of Cretans but of some parallel and closely-allied culture, and suggests that this culture was that of Lycia in southwestern Asia Minor. As to its religious bearing, he considered that it is probably a hymn to a naturegoddess. A sign apparently intended l SOME OF THE HEIROQLYPHS OF THE PHAE8T0S DISC.

Pair tf weaving wttgatt ' to represent a female breast 1B a prominent one, and it is a reasonable inference that it refers to some such deity as Kybetfe, the Great Mother, or the Diana of Ephesus with her multitude of breasts. Such a divinity was worshiped in Minoan Crete and may have been the same as Ephesian Diana. Two attempts have been made to interpret the disc inscription, one by Pofessor Hempl of Stanford university, California, the other by Miss Stawell of Newham college, England. Professor Hempl makes it to be a record of the restoration of plunder to a shrine. Miss Stawell, on the other hand, interprets it as an archaic hymn. Certainly on the face of it this interpretation seems the more probable, and agrees with Sir Arthur Evans' view. The shape of the disc appears to indicate that the inscription Is not an ordinary one, and it may very well have been a written prayer or psalm. Miss Stawell's interpretation Is based on the assumption that the language of the inscription is Greek— necessarily Greek of a primitive type. Having decided the identity of a pictured object she attaches to it its name In Greek, and then takes the first syllable as the sound value. For example, the human head with the curious crown-like covering is taken to signify "man." The Greek words for man are aner and anthropos, and therefrom the sound value is given as an. A face marked on the cheek is interpreted as "branded man/' therefore "criminal." From this the meaning is deduced as kakos (bad) and the sound value as ka, and so on. Of course it [ is evident that independent observers might interpret many of the signs differently. One does not see. for example, why sign 20, an obvious jug, is not to be interpreted as one, instead of, according to Miss Stawell, "mead" (in a jug). To conclude, It would seem that interpreters hitherto have assumed much; and the results of their labors, though highly interesting and creditable to them, are not altogether convincing. They assume that the language of the inscription is Greek, and 4 there is no evidence that the tongue of the Minoan Cretans was Greek at all. So far as can be Been the Minoans were a totally different race from the Greeks, and it seems rather early days to assume" that they spoke their tongue, much less that the goddess of the disc is Athene. Further, it is probable that the Phaestos disc is Anatolian, and not Cretan. Chinese Are Thrifty Farmers. "In the utilization of every square foot of soil and every leaf or root that is grown thereon, the patient, working farmers of China could give points even to the thrifty rural population of France." says the Philadelphia Public Record. "Land is never wasted. There are no such pasture and meadow lands as we know here. If a traveler wants to pitch* a tent anywhere in the settled provinces of China he must drive the stakes in a bean patch or a rice field or amid potato hllla. The native would receive with scornful amassment a suggestion of a public pleasure ground. The only 'parks' art the groves about the tern* pies. T o the topi of the hffls the terraces climb, holding their tiny plots of wheat and corn* sometimes at a house roof angle of 45 degrees. Inhabitants of draay huts and cave dwellers, barely making room for themselves to sloop and cook at the intersections of the vast checkerboard, climb out of their holes and hovels at dawn Uka prairie dogs or rabbits to * warresv and fight the soil till dark for a I gar Imag."

It is a fact that many cases of pimples and eruptions of the skin are caused by bad blood, and the utmost care of the skin will not rid one of these unsigEtly and painful blotches; the only way theae can be gotten rid of is by taking a good blood purifier such as Ny&Ts Spring Sarsaparilia and carrying out the following suggestions: - Begin the treatment by steaming the face at least one-half hour, after which massage with a GOOD face cream, or better, a massage cream; this frees the face cells of all impurities, enabling them to breath more freely as theae cells *re the lungs of the skin and when they become closed by impurities the poUon of the body sets up an irritation an i these pimples or eruptions are the result. This treatment shouto" be continued for about a week. If they do not then disappear you may rest assured ir is a condition of the blood and it fc would be well to consult a doctor. f MEYER'S DRUG STORE §= T h e N y a l S t o r e % Mnckney, Mich.

The present demand for foodstuffs in all parts of the world, and the expense of producing it on hlgferpriced lauds, would make it seem that west* ern Canada came into evidence ai? the4 crucial period. There is to be found the opportunity that will be a |JJ8* factor in meeting this demand. 'With its millions of acres of land, easily cultivatable, highly productive^ accessible to railways, and with unexcelled climatic conditions, the opportunities that are offered and afforded are too great to be overlooked. There have been booms in almost every civilized country and they were looked upon as such, and in the course of time the bubble was pricked and was burst. But in no country has the development been as great aer as rapid, whether in city or in cetintry, as in western Canada. The provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have She largest area of desirable lands en the North American continent, and their cultivation has just begun. Even with a two hundred mlHloa bushel wheat crop, less them eight per cent, of the land is trader' the ploughs, four per cent, being ta wheat. Less than fire yearB ago the Wheat crop was only 71,000,000 buafcets. It is a simple calculation to ensimAta that if four per cent, of the avartablo cultivatable area produces something over 200,000,000 bushels, what will 44 per cent; produce? And then lack at the Immigration that is coadag into the country. In 1901 it was 49,*49, 17,000 being from the United States; in 1906 it was 189,064, of which 5?<60O were Americans, and in 1918 it was about 400,000, of which about 140,000 were Americans. But why have they gone to Canada ? The American farmer is a man of shrewd business instincts, just like his Canadian brother, and when he finds that he can sell his own farm at from $100" to $200 per acre and move into Canada and homestead and pre-empt half a section for himself, and similarly for all his sons who are adult and of age upon lands as rich and fertile as those he left, and producing indeed several bushels to the acre In excess of anything he has ever known, it will take mere than an ordinary effort to prevent him from making the change. And then, too, there is the American capital following the capital of brawn, muscle and sinew, following it so as to keep in touch with the industrious farmer with which it has had dealings for years back. This capital and the capital of farming experience fs no small matter in the building up of a country. Nothing is said of the great mineral and forest wealth, of which but tittle has been touched. No country in the world's featory has attracted to its borders a larger number of settlers in so short a time, or has attracted so muoh wealth In a period of equal length, as have the Canadian prairies. Never before has pioneering been accomplished nnder conditions so favorable as those that exist in western Canada today.—Ad* vertisement HAD PROOF OF ASSERTION Mean Spirit.

The girl stepped impulsively forward and placed her hand on his arm. "Ah, don't," she said. "It is for the •beet, I tell you. Now, please excuse me/' "Don't you care to dance with me?" Holton looked at her curiously. The girl's lip drooped just a bit, *nd with that sign of weakness she was lost, for Holton's strong arm stole about her waist and the next Instant •be was out on the floor with him. "Oh/' she gasped, "why did you?" "Because I wanted to," replied Holton simply. "Oh, I knew you thought 1 was a bad dancer and were trying to wriggle out, but I'll show you I am not at all bad." She had already discovered that fact, and, abandoning herself to the sheer joy of the dance, relaxing slightly in his arms, she suffered herself to be guided about the floor. After the dance Holton led her to a secluded corner and sat down beside her. "That waa great," he exclaimed. "Permit me to say you dance wonder* fully well." "And you, too," she said. "But why—" She interrupted him by tapping him with her fan. "Don't, please!" she pleaded. 1 'Holton shrugged his shoulders. "Very well," he said. He took her card. 'The next dance is ours," he added. "Why did you come here tonight?" •be asked. "Why—why—because I wanted to dance," he answered. "1 thought," she began slowly, "I thought that perhaps there might be another reason for your coming." Holton started back In bis chair. Surely there was another reason, but this girl had driven that "other reason" completely out of his mind. The thought occurred to him that he was not out out to be a mervelous detect s * ' "What are you smiling at?" she asked. "You live near Santiago?" he asked. She threw a swift glance at him. i "Yes," she answered. "I have never been there, but it must be a wonderful country." "The most beautiful in the world.** -She threw her head back proudly. "Tell me about it," went on Holton. "Ite yen Hve inthe cityr "No, father has an estate In the hills on the way to Cuabltas. Oh, it la wonderful t The beautiful birds, the flowers, the moonlight, the fruits! I am-never nappy save when I there." "You are quite a patriot, Holton with a laugh.

"Mr. Holton," she said, "believe me sincerely when I say to you that I must go now. I promised father I would leave at one o'clock, and you see now that it is after one." Holton got up with a gesture of deprecation. He had taken her hand and did not relinquish it, nor did she attempt to draw it way. "If you ever hear anything concerning me—now or In the future, will you withhold judgment until—until you ask me about it and have me explain?" "I promise," replied Holton. There was a faint pressure on his fingers, a bright smile, and the next instant he was standing alone. As he stood thus, someone touched him on the arm, and glancing about, Holton was confronted by a thick-set man in evening dress. "A very charming girl, Mr. Holton," observed the stranger. Holton flushed angrily. "And who are you?" he asked bluntly. "My name is Harper," was the reply. "I happen to be in the Secret Service. By the way, do you know anything about the young woman with whom you were dancing?" "Who? Miss La Tossa? Oh, yes." But Holton suddenly realized how little he did know. "How well do you know Miss La Tossa?" the other asked suddenly. "Oh, a mere acquaintance; recent," answered Holton. "Did you know that that young woman has been giving us more trouble than all the rest put together?" "Rest of what?" demanded Holton eagerly. "Rest of the spies, of course." Holton thought a moment and then there recurred to him the girl's parting words: "If you ever hear anything concerning me now or in the future, will you withhold Judgment until you ask me about it and have me explain?" And he had promised. Well, he would make good his word. He would have her explain. He turned to the Secret Service man beside him. "What you have said is very interesting," he said. "In good time I may have supplementary information." "Don't tell me you didn't know this all the while?" smiled the detective. "I'm telling nothing," and Holton turned away. CHAPTER III. A Broken Promise. While Holton was making up his mind to ask Miss La Tossa several questions, her father began to do that very thing without, apparently, wait* Ing to make up his mind, as soon aB the two were within the little anteroom of their hotel suite. "Carita!" he expostulated. "You did not attend this dance to flirt?" She laughed. "Father, and how could I help it? He was such—such a corker." The senor raised his hands heavenward and looked at his daughter in mock dismay. "Agreed, then, he was a corker. I am glad to know that. It is really valuable information. But now tell me was he such a corker that you forgot to ascertain that for which you attended this ball? Was he in reality Lieutenant Holton?" "Oh, yes, he was." "Well, then, what about the Scorpion?" "Why, I—I did not recall that you—" The candor which was naturally a part of the girl's nature asserted itself, "Father, ho was so fascinating that I forgot all about the Scorpion." "So!" Senor La Tossa shrugged his shoulders.. "There was very small doubt that he really was Lieutenant Holton," he wont on. "Several of my man recognised him. But what was really important was why ho loft the torpedo boat, and having dono so, what became of the boat. That was what I really wished to know, and what you easily could hare learned. I am sorry you have failed me." ? "I am sorry I disappointed you, but, father, I hate the Spaniards—I am Cuban born, and I hate thorn because they have boos so cruel" Her eyes flashed. T have disowned Satin," "Mr ozonator I" oioisimed the fattor siiarnty. ^. "l onnaot bolp it, tabs*. Have ws net soon wosaoa ttarvtac with their babies at their dry breasts? Have we not seen men fighting for the bones we have thrown from our baskets? Have we not eeen murder after murder in cold blood?" "That i-> why I have been aiming to obtain the governorship," said the father, "and how are you helping me? Not by such language. That Is what you have to consider." Another thing, my daughter, I have heard that you are becoming too closely affiliated with certain groups of Cuban plotters— you know who I mean. I forbid that absolutely." The girl blazed at him with dilated eyes. "You have heard what?"-she asked. "I have heard enough to make it seem my duty to have you sent back to Santiago—to the estate. You are a girl—you are young, and I am sorry to .have to say that you are also a trifle foolteh. You will therefore sail on the Ward liner Saturday with your aunt." "Very well, father; it shall be as you wish. There will be war, you think?" "There is no doubt as to that. The drift of this government is easily read." "And then—" "Cuba will never be taken. We shall plan no war of aggression. We shall wait to be taken—but that never shall come to pass." "You say that!" The girl regarded him closely. "The United States is a great nation." "Yes, but not a warlike one. Our soldiers uphold the traditions of the Cld; the blood of war flows in their veins. It is inconceivable that the arms of a nation so rich in military history, so filled with annals of achievement and of conquest both on land and sea, should succumb to a nation whose shrines are dollar-marks and whose gods are profit and loss. Remember, until my return to Santiago, you are to remain at the estate." He paused and took a paper from his pocket. "And between now and Saturday," he added, adjusting his glasses, "you will avoid Senores Perez. Pedrajas, Montez, Cassajara, and Castro." The daughter cast a swift glance at her father, and then let her eyeB fall to the floor. "You see," he continued, "I am tolerably familiar with what has been going on. My position here, Ranee, is one of dignity. I am not a spy, I am not a diplomatic emissary. When "Father, I Hats the Spaniards." relations of diplomacy are broken I shall have no further business hero. But you—you are different You have been played upon by a group of seat ots whoso cause is not only against the country of my birth, but also against the United States. Than ho kissed nor good night and went into his room to enjoy, a muchneeded rest For some time she sat tn her apart ment, thinking; finally she sat down and wrote the following letter: "Father Dear: "Forgive me, hut I cannot keep that promise. I cannot. Before you awake I shall have gone to Key West, perhaps. From, there I shall go to Son* t&sjpo as you wished, whero, if you havo not disowned mo I shall await you at our home." Sho, smiled as she wrote tfcftn, know* lac that however angry how father might be, love for her, his spoiled darling, would utterly prevail. "In the meantime you will receive daily messages from me, telling you I am well. Adios. "Your loving RANEE." Enclosing fhe note in an envelope, she addressed it, placed it on a desk in the anteroom, put on a coat, concealed her face with a heavy veil, and went out of the hotel. Early next morning Holton set out for his audience with the assistant secretary. "Well, what did you learn?" was the smiling greeting he received from his superior. Roosevelt's eyes never blinked as Holton told his story, but when he had concluded he leaned forward. "Well, how do you like detective work?" "I fear I am not a detective, Mr. Secretary. I think I have demonstrated that." "Ahem, I don't know, Mr. Holton. I tell you, it was more or less of a whim of mine, sending you to the ball. I had hoped you might meet a Miss La Tos€a. In fact I had requested a Secret Service man to bring you two together." Holton started. "Oh," he said, "I did meet her." Holton proceeded to recount his experiences with the girl, beginning with the incident of th« waiter and the gold-mesh bag and ending with his dance and his Interview with the detective. "Well,'' responded Mr. Roosevelt, "you have done exactly as I might have wished you to do, and, having done this, It is my desire that you cultivate her acquaintance assiduously and report to me whenever you learn anything that may appear valuable." He noticed the blank face of the officer. "What is the matter?" he asked. "But, Mr. Secretary, I cannot spy upon her—she is my friend. Why," he cried warmly, "she's the finest girl you ever met!" "Why, my dear Holton, cannot you see? She was spying upon you." "I cannot see how she was doing that," protested Holton. "She made no attempt—" "Well, see here, Mr. Holton, you have established your acquaintance. Now, then, I ask you this: If you discover in the course of your friendship with her that she is working to injure our country, will you take steps to prevent her doing so and to ajpprise me as to the facts?" "I am under oath to the United States, sir." "Well, then, that Is all I ask. You are ordered hereby to pursue your acquaintance with this young woman to that end." "Yes, sir," replied Holton. "I suppose then that I shall remain in Washington some time." "No, Mr. Holton, you'll not be in Washington long. Miss La Tossa left for Tampa this morning." Holton started to his feet. "And I'm to follow her?" "Yes, at once, please. You had better arrange about transportation and the like immediately." "Thank you, sir." Holton did not hear the laughter that followed his outburst of gratitude, or at least he paid no attention to it For the one thought that filled his mind was that he was going to some heavenly place where his dance part* ner of the night before was to be. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Writers of Historic Songo. Most of the songs that have mads history were written by men who had no other claim to Immortality. The "Marseillaise" is the only production of Rouget de Lisle which has survived, and "The Wearing of the Green" was the work of an anonymous purveyor of ballads for the street hawkers of Dublin, M M Bchneckon* burger, an obscure Swabian merchant who never published anything also, composed in 1840 some verses of which the burden was thus translated: F"Diremar s tFaantdh etrhlyan sdo,n sn oto d wanagtcehr tthhien eR. hine."

One hundred years ago Napoleon met the army of the allies at Brlenne, a village in northeastern Franco, and was victorious after a keenly-contested battle. The emperor had left Paris ouly two days before, prepared to make a last desperate effort to halt the advance of the enemy on the French capital and thereby save his tottering throne. The allied Hssolan and Prussian armies were in command of Marshal Blucher. Napoleon's torses were in a deplorable condition. At Brlenne, it is true, his old sokfters displayed prodigies of courage, In his name and under his orders, but the raw conscripts were discontented and many of them deserted <• their colors. Napoleon owed his victory chiefly to the fact that he came up to Bmeher when the latter was separated from a part of his forces. Prince Schwartzenberg, in command of the Austrian forces, Immediately set out for the purpose of supporting the Priismtena, and the combined armies of the allies recommenced their advance 0* Paris.

A few years ago some members of the Austrian Speleological society discovered in the Dachsteln mountains some caverns which are among the largest in Europe. One of these grottoes, the longitudinal axis of which is fully 6,500 feet long, moreover turned out to offer additional interest by its truly enormous ice masses and was found to be the largest known Icecnve in the world Though a scorching sun may be burning outside on the bare mountain rock, there is always an icy wind blowing through this underworld, freezing everything within Its reecte Only sometimes, when the outside temperature ranges between 82 and 41 degrees-CX and a comparatively warm rain penetrates through the fis sores of the rock, entering right into the cavern, will there be a temporary calm and distinct meltmg of the ice. The Dachsteln ice cave comprise* several domes filled with ice, which communicate.with one another throuph a number of frozen galleries. An ice crevice 89 feet deep and 116 feet In width traverses the floor of the cavern 165 feet from the entrance. Gigantic Ice pillars were found to tower on both edges of this chasm, in the depth of which there unfolds a fairy-llke ice scenery. Beyond the abyss the cavern * widens out into a mighty dome fTM* tan dome, as it is called), where o plain ice sheet reaches from ode wall to tbe other, carrying Ice stalagmite* of the most fantastic shapes.—Scien tlfic American.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, March 5, 1914 No. 10 ^ An Excellent Program The program rendered by the members of the Pinckney school under the auspices of the Glee Glub last Friday afteruoon in xxmmenoratiou of the lives of Washington, Lincoln and Longtellow W88 one which reflected £f#|t cjedit on both the work of the-pupils and that of the teachers who trained them. The etercises consisted of singing, select readings and drills. Each and every one did their part unusually well. Not a break occnred in the afternoon's entertainment.* The auditorium was decorated with the various class colors and Here's A Live One In Youugatowu, Ohio, lives a grocer with a personality. He is an advertising grocer, who writes his own advertisements, and some of them are unique. Here is a recent one; "Some of you people give me a pain about the high cost of living. .You dou't know any more about it than my kid, nine months old. All she knows is to throw my watch on the floor, pull my hair and coax me for pennies to buy candy. "Have the most up-to-date poultry farm in the country.

The only regret o^ the afternoon, expressed by Professor Doyle, in his audregs of welcome, was that mere men were not found present at a gathering^ that kind. He also said that his work along educational linea^SSl made him an ardent believferin Woman's Suffrage.

The Old System The following was taken from an exchange and we suppose they looked up the law in the matter before publishing it and found it to be correct: A law passed by the last legislature gives the farmers of any township an opportunity to go back to the old method of "working out" their road tax, if a majority of them so desire, instead of paying the tax in cash. It provides that the matter can be voted upon at the regular township meeting and if a majority of the freeholders in the township express a desire to return to the old system, their wish must be respected. The only action required to bring the matter to a vote is a petition signed by at least twelve of the taxpayers interested. This petition must be presented to the township board a sufficient length of time previous to the election and it then becomes the dnty of the township officials to prepare the necessary ballots and submit the question at the regular township meeting. No person not a taxpayer can vote on the question, nor can any person who is a resident of any corporate village within the township. As a good many fanners are sp^ing of 1845 and lived here un-not exactly pleased with the preetil March 1^52.

They are all what the. Wall Kreet clerk would call "robes;" they are "hay-seeds/' They are farmers— who, as you know, must not be confused with agriculturists. When we think of American banks and bankers we' think of the buildings which have the finest fronts in town and of the men who also put up the finest fronts. We think of shrewd tellers who never tell anything; of cashiers who are constantly upos^he point of refusing cash to those who need it most; of boards of directors who oft In softly carpeted rooms on upholstered chairs, around polished-.. Circassian walnut tables. The IriBh bankers we nave Just seen wore mud-bespattered clothtes. They t sat In a nine? floored room, on rough chairs, around* a'rough * table upon which a smoking, smelling kerosene lamp cast a dim light that was almost a shadow. Business Before History. In our search for all that is good In rural organization, we landed last night in Limerick. Limerick is a mighty interesting city, founded by the Danes a thousand years ago; a city which Cromwell's forces could not enter until the plague and starvation had conquered the defenders who couM not be conquered by the sword; a city which in 1690 withstood a siege by King William, who was baffled because the women of the city fought with the men; a city whence came the wild geese who flew from Ireland to Spain and other southern lands so they might indulge their warlike tastes which could no longer be exercised in Ireland. But Just now more important than historic Limerick is the modern village of Foynes with its egg marketing society and its farm credit association. So to Foynes we came this afternoon, through a driving rain over 30 miles of the fine Irish roadways which a day's heavy rainfall can only soften into slight slipperiness. Wo are under the guidance of A. M. Riddle, an organizer and inspector of cooperative societies, employed by the Irish Agricultural Organization society; a bright, eager, energetic, tactful Irishman who, after long Btudy and years of hard work in cooperative societies throughout Europe, knows co-operation from A to Z. Farmers Who Are Bankers, At seven o'clock on this rainy night we found six of the seven members of the loan committee assembled in the village clubhouse. Here are six shrewd but kindly Irish gentlemen who know .their business thoroughly. Some of them have driven miles through rain and wind. All are serving without pay. One is the manager of a little sawmill, previously, a school teacher; another ts an intelligent ex* member of the Royal Irish constabulary; one operates successfully a large rented farm; one is a raiser of blooded horses; one Is a sharp-tongued but, at heart, good nstured farmer, who Is evidently a believer In discreet kindliness concealed under apparent harshness; one Is a clerk in a mercantile establishment. The secretary is a retired school teacher with a good working knowledge of accounting and business methods. How They Work. The inspector had previously looked over all the books and accounts and had made memoranda of transactions which needed explanation and of -delinquencies calling for comment Some of the cases called will serve as illustrations of the character of the loans made as well as of the method of inspection employed. They are Illustrative also of the attitude of the committee toward the borrower. John O'Brien had taken four years in which to repay a loan of 12 pounds. The books showed that immediately upon the repayment of this first loan another loan had been made to him. To the inspector the second loanseemed a loan to enable the borrower to repay th*e previous loan, and consequently unwise and contrary to the rules. The committee showed, however, that the man's slowness in repaying the first loan was due to sickness and hard luck. Then the interesting fact appeared that the second loan was given to enable the borrower to send a bright, fouiteen-yesMtd'Mfi to~ss*o**> fss> the purpose, of Np^sr qus^fylaf^hlm as a wage-earner. The plan had succeeded. The boy had been at*sdhoot eight months, had done #etl,*titift secured a position, and was now so situated that he could assist, and was assisting, In the repayment of the loan. The inspector, on understanding the purpose, of the second loan, Indorsed it as a perfectly legitimate one, and sanctioned the action of the committee. As to another case, one of the members said: "He's all right; he is going to be married, and it's a fine girl he gets and a bit of money, about 75 pounds she'll bring him, too, and that will help to pull him through and make the payments." Of another delinquent a member •aid: "A sister ws* a long time ailing, and after a long sickness she died, poor child. He's a fine boy, honest as the day Is long. He's a decent fellow. We can't crowd him. He's bad a .herd time. He'SHJoing all he can, atid will pay as Bare as the sun rises." f I Buying Pig*.. ! Of another case the inspector sai^i: "Here'B a guard on the train who borrowed money from us for the purchase" of p'filV^e hasn7! ttmftlo tend hogs, has he?" Back came the reply: "Sure, any of us that has a wife and a home can keep pigs if he wants to. It's as easy to keep pigs as it is to keep a home at all." It appeared, however, that no pigs had been bought by the train guard; that a relative had bought pigs, presumably with the money borrowed. There was no danger at all as to the repayment of the loan, the sureties being good. Fraud had been practiced, however, and the committee were not at all complacent about their part in the matter, feeling they had been too easy in making the loan. This particular brakeman would have a poor chance If he ever asked for another loan. And so the committee proceeded sympathetically considering each individual case, deciding each upon its own merits, irrespective of what are considered in America to be general banking rules. It must be borne in mind that the cases referred to were a few delinquents among a very large number which were promptly settled. What Money Is Used For. Many of the loans had been for the purchase of seeds and manures in the previous spring. Some of the members had purchased pigs; sometimes a cow was secured. One had bought a horse, one had built a cow shed. On the whole the rule that loans could be made only tor productive and economic use was well observed. "It's hard to crowd the boys," laid one of the-members. "Ah, that's'the trouble with us Irish," replied the inspector. "But good business means good business, although it is hard to be harsh at all." South of Ireland temperaments were not altogether convinced that harshness was wisdom, and the answer came back: "Did you ever know of harshness to be any good at all?" Some Harshness Necessary. The inspector, who, in our previous conversation with him, had seemed the most easy tempered young man, developed a considerable severity when appearing before the committee. He kept insisting that the delinquent debtors must be dealt with more harshly and in a more business-like way. In several cases he advised Immediate legal proceedings unless something was done. He told them that unless good business methods prevailed a new committee must be appointed or thgt the society would get Into trouble and would be closed out. The attitude was more or less for effect upon the committee. The man raised in this section of Ireland is so soft-hearted-that he cannot be harsh in his own matters, and it is indeed difficult for him to be businesslike when business-like methods involve harshness. The committee took the situation seriously to heart, however, and the words of the inspector had their effect for they promised that more business-like methods would prevail in the. future. Good Business Methods. The inspector had not only full knowledge of co-operative concerns, but was evidently in addition a skilled accountant, and pointed out why the books must be kept according to the uniform system of accounts recommended by the Irish Agricultural OrgaalaatiOB^ soeieiy.r A must searching annual audit of accounts is also required performed by either an offifclsl'pubTlc auditor appointed under the* friendly Societies* act -ST by persons selected by the joNMabers at the annual meeting.' ,Jpverywhere *as herej and accounting methods are. employ dtTano^hat «WefuT= audita sue insisted upon and considered necessary to the success of these societies. If there is any lack of these qualifications in the farmers who are the bankers, the lack te~sup»UesV by the I. A. O. S. through their inspectors and auditors. Farmers Can -Be Good^ Bankers. We came somewhat doubting whether a farmer could be a banker. We Ko away convinced that the farmer, if assisted by good supervision and inspection, can be at once a good business man and a kindly neighbor. Here in this Foynes society is a committee of business men who" are willing to come together to consider loans of the most trivial amounts and to meet periodically and discuss methods of bringing more money into the little community tp be loaned out to those needing it. They are ready to go over all the petty troubles and trials and misfortunes of the unfortunate borrower, to discuss ways and means of helping the weaker brother pay his debt. These men are In fact bearing the burdens of an entire community so far as the small business difficulties are concerned. All are most anxious to see every farmer able to buy good seed, good manures, good stock and to improve the position of himself and family, yet equally anxious to protect the funds of the bank. It is a question whethter the board of directors of any big financial house who sit in richly upholstered chairs around Circassian wfclnut tablee ever more efficiently discharged the duties of bank directors than have this group of mud-bespattered farmers sitting in cheap wooden chairs around this pine table. One Man One Vote. This co-operative banking association at Foynes is under the absolute control of the farmers hereabouts. This control is not centered in a few rich members who have furnished the capital. Each member has one vote, irrespective of his investment. There Is no massing of votes in the hands of those who have the most money In the concern. Here men carry the voting power, not money. The co-operative Idea is essentially democratic. Experience shows that no other system succeeds. For one man to possess twice as much power as his neighbor renders an association no longer truly co-operative. Before this principle was recognized, when one I or two members might out-vote 100 members, more than one co-operative ; effort went to pieces. The average farmer member is poor. He has never handled money. He may never have made a loan. He knows nothing of banking forms, of bank bookkeeping, of the legal rights of borrowers Or of lenders. He is an easy-going, good-hearted Irishman. Men of this type control and make up the loan committee, which must pass on loans, enforce collections and decide on all minor'questions relating to the policy of the organization. How can such members be good hankers? In America it takes shrewd, welltrained business men to make a bank succeed. They., know more of bank accounting than do accountants. They know aa much of banking law as do lawyers. They have by long study of their subject become familiar with every phase of it. How then can these happy-go-lucky Irish farmers become successful financiers? The answer, or the biggest part of the answer, is that the Irish Agricultural Organization society has a beneficent supervision over them snd furnishes them with the qualifications which they lack. Interview With Doctor McCarthy. Notwithstanding all that co-operative credit has done for Ireland, it still has a lack, says Doctor McCarthy. The small tenant farmer has had ample provisions made for him by the government for the purchase of his home. Small farmers, through credit' assocations, have ample opportunities of obtaining small loans for productive purposes. What Ireland most needs now, however, is a system of loans by which the owners of the larger, estates may secure finds with which to make their estate productive and profitable. The owners of the big estates are all in need of money. They are as poor, in a sense, as the poorest tenant farmers. The worst farming in all Ireland is sometimes found upon the largest estates. These farmers find it difficult to obtain a large loan, at a low rate of interest, on long time, with privileges of amortisation payments, such as will enable them to use money for the gradual upbuilding of the productiveness of the farm. If it were possible here to borrow money upon mortgages of this description as It is In Germany, in France, in Italy and even in Russia, th«<rursi*porttons of Ireland would advance much more rapidly. America can safely adopt the Irish system of short time personal loans, but we should Shelve in addition something like the OSrman Landschaften banks for larger lonsrtlm* loans.

I PINCKNEY DISPATCH i ^ U1 ' r± I PERE MARQUETTE RAILROAD NEED8 MONEY FOR NEW EQUIPMENT. W A N T S TO ISSUE BONDS REFUNDING $12,614,894. Judge Tuttle Gives Receivers Sixty Days to Arrange Plan for New Financing,—Alio Default of Interest Due March 1. SOLICITOR Of STATE DEPARTMENT TO CHANGE Detroit.—Urgency of the Pere Marquette Railroad company's need for money to purchase new equipment and to meet various obligations and indebtedness other than those resulting from bond. issues is emphasized in two developments. which came to light. Authoritative announcement was made that, Receivers Frank A. Blair, Dudley # Waters and ,S, .M.. Feltpn are preparing to submit to the United States court a petition asking authorization, to. issue receivers' refunding certificates to an amount which will include, sufficient funds to care for obligations aggregating $12,614,- 894.24. The second development is an order issued by Judge A. J. Tuttle in the United States court directing the receivers to omit payment of interest due March 1 on $260,000 of outstanding first mortgage 5 per cent bonds of the Grand Rapids, Beldrag & Saginaw railroad, one of the constituent properties of the Pere Marquette. As all mortgages securing obligations, of the Pere Marquette embody a stipulation that 60 days shall be alkrwed in which to pay interest on which default is made, that period at least is given the receivers in which to arrange for new financing, plains for which are understood to be now under consideration. "tt any unscrambling of the Pere Marquette system is to be done, the initiative,, will be taken by holders of the mortgages on the original railroads which make up the component parti of the system," said Judge Tuttle when asked regarding a rumor that his order might lead to dissolution of the troubled railway organisation. "My action in ordering that interest on bonds be withheld was intended to keep the road as an integral whole. I have been insisting that the interest on the 832,000,- 000 original mortgages be paid first, so that these creditors may be satisfled, but if the road is unable to meet these obligations, it is possible that the holders will attempt to obtain a dissolution. It remains for them to decide whether they prefer their individual'line as it existed prior to 1910, or as part of the Pere Marquette system. BELIEVE MAN WAS MURDERED. Evidence Found That Botsfield Wat Not Killed In Fire. South Branch, Mich.—That Charles Botsfield, 61, the farmer who waa reported to have been burned to death Wednesday when flre destroyed his barn was murdered is the belief of Sheriff A. O. Guilford and Prosecuting Attorney O. A. Bennett, who visited the Botsfield home Friday.

Botsfleld's arms were extended, his legs drawn back and the top'of his skull was missing. His .lantern lay about two feet in front of him and a pocketbook and knife near by. The path to the house was sprinkled with blood patches and on the back steps were marks that lead to the belief that he waa dragged from his house to the barn, where the murderer, in order to destroy the evidence of his guilt set lire to the structure, hoping that his victim would be consumed. In Botsfleld's bedroom were many evidences of a crime. Everything is smeared witb blood. Fine gunshot was found imbedded in the wall and two bloody gun wads behind the bed. Blood had been partially wiped from the floor, but-tracks of it were seen in the cracks. Outside, tracks led from the house in many directions.

Nearly half of the time there were running sores around my ankle; sometimes it would be two years at a-time before ^hey were healed. There were many nights I did not sleep because of the,great suffering. The sores were deep running ones and BO sore that I could hot bear for anything—to touch them. They would burn all the time and sting like a lot of bees were confined around my ankle. I could not bear to scratch it, It was Jalways so sensitive to the touch. I could not let my clothes touch it. The. skin was very red. I made what I called a cap out of white felt, blotting paper and soft white cloth to hold it in shape. This I wore night and day. "I tried many remedies for most of the eighteen years with no effect. Last summer I sent for some Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The very.first time I used Cuticura Soap and bint* ment I gained relief;.they relieved the pain right the,n.

At two o'clock the Gnat was just making a wide turn at the end of the •tip, preparatory to proceeding up the Use, when Holton saw against the blackness a deeper black—something that seemed to move. J It was out in the bay, perhaps two* hundred yards. As he lowered his head, straining his eyes Into the sable curtain, he found he had lost whatever he had seen. Perhaps his Imagination had played* him false. But no, that could not be. for In his first glance he remembered' that some stars on the horizon had been blotted out by the object. That certainly waa suggestive of Its tangibility. Holton went to the little bridge, and, pointing out the spot where he had last seen the moving blot on the night, ordered the On at to head in that direction at half-speed. For five minutes the little craft proceeded out into the bay, and then aud> denly Holton made out clearly the outlines of a small tugboat, with a skiff in tow. "Heave to, or HI fire!" cried Holton. • Still no reply, but the propeller of the tug could be heard churning the water In excess speed. Without further word, Holton snatched the rifle from the sailor's hand, took quick aim. and let dive. A* a response, there came five shots in rapid succession from the tug, the bullets rattling' through the Gnat's funnel and ventilators. Fall >P««4 ahead!" cried Holton, in full exaltation at hearing for the first time the whistle of bullets discharged in anger. "Right into her," ha added, forgetful of hit boat's "tin bow"—"run her down!" When within a hundred feet the Onat sheered off, made a detour, and rounded to In front of the tug's bow. "Stop!" yelled Holton. leveling the rifle. "Stand by that machine gun," he added in a low tone to the man at his side. The tug stopped abruptly, but not a sound came from her. "What boat Is thatr called Holton. No reply, As the bow of the torpedo boat rasped against the fenders of the stranger, Holton, his pistol in hand, leaped over her guards to the deck. Three of his men followed. Then, as though by magic, shadowy forms arose. A dark figure moved swiftly at Holton's side, and as his revolver biased in the man's face, he felt the sharp Impact of a weighted club upon his shoulder. Another man seised him from behind, and in an instant the deck was the scene of a wild hand-to-hand fight Holton felled his foe with a revolver end then turned to the ssslatsnoe of one of hia semmen, beset by two men. Revolvers were banging on all sides, wildly, as it appeared to Holton, for he caught fleeting glimpses of his three sen fighting as American sailormen In a flash of light Holton saw a man bending at the stern. In his hand was the match whence the flash had cose. The officer darted swiftly toward hlsn. He saw a sputter of sparks. Quick as thought he turned. "Men of the Onat, overboard!" he roared.' ''Dynamite. Suiting action to his words, he dived swiftly into the dark waters, and the next instant the Port of Tampa was startled by en exploefo* which shattered the windows of the hotel and brought thousands rushing out into! the •*is r, «* Eton's first thought: as soon kk hia. head emerged above the water, ws)f ft* of hianoaiUon, which fss> innately was not ten yard* from-that occupied by toe Goat. He ttade her in several strokes, and waa fished over the side by a sailor. The man at the wheel had lighted a red flare, and by thia means the other three men In the water were guided to their vessel. Beyond a few bruises, all were uninjured. In the meantime Holton waa not too busy to notice that the explosion had thrown the harbor into wild confusion. Rowboats were everywhere, having sprung on the water aa though by magic, and the decks of the transports were alive with figures. Search-lights were flashing in every direction; and men's voices arose in a babel of confusion. As soon as practicable Holton changed his water-soaked clothing and went ashore, leaving the Gnat to continue her patrol. There was little doubt In his mind that the men in the vessel were bent on the destruction of the transports; that the explosives aboard her were to be placed under the sterns of a dozen or more of the steamships, and then set off by a single electric spark. Holton believed that the tug had gone as near to the slip aa she intended to go when he discovered her, and that further operations were to have been conducted from the row boat towing astern. Dawn was approaching as Holton waited for the Onat to make her inshore turn, and ai the light was now filtering across the heavens he followed his usual custom of putting out of the bay for a look at things on the open water. The air of the morning, fresh and cool, blew against his face and filled him with Inspiration. Today the transports would leave for Cuba, his period of nightly grind would end, and be, too, would start for the battle-ground; for in his pocket were orders to report to Admiral Sampson for further instructions the moment the transports were safely off the Cuban coast And then—? No such furor as attended their previous sallies from port marked their departure this time. The ardent public had grown a bit weary of successive good-bys, and remained away from the water-front, so that the only eclat that marked the occasion waa furnished by the soldiers themselves. Holton, trailing along In the little Inat, viewed with Joyous eyes the scene spread before him, and truly it was one remarkable la many ways. Over seven miles of water stretched the fleet, the transports steaming In long, stately line, flanked by grim, leadenhued torpedo boats . and gunboats, which flew here and there, megaphoning orders to the transport. On the third day, Romano Key and the blue mountains were raised to starboard. On June to the fleet was off the Cuban coast, twenty miles from Santiago. Here the Seguranca, the headquarters ship, steamed away from the other transports, and went up toward Aserraderoa, Holton, Jkardly knowing; what was up, following- his instructions not to lose this vessel, steamed after her and eventually made out the mouse-colored bulk of the New York, flagship of Sampson's squadron. Mindful of his orders to report to the commander-tn-chitf as soon as the transports were off the coast, Holton put the Onat under full headway, and soon lay alongside the war-ship's gangway. He knew most of the company aboard her, and was warmly welcomed as he went up thi ladder. Presently an orderly returned with a summons for Holton. Sampson was standing by a table aa Holton entered and saluted. The young officer had never seen him before, and he viewed with great and kindling interest this grave man with his thoughtful fore* head, his steady, scholarly blue* eyas, his white beard and mustache. The admiral looked at Holton for a moment, and then hs said: "Mr. Holton, I fear I am about to aak you to undertake a dangerous mission." CHAPTER VII. I rt the tylght Hours. Holton smiled! gamely. "I am ready, sir." The admiral Bedded and paced thoughtfully up down his cabin few 4 moment "In a few moments,* be said at length, ^ , am. going over to dor *'-.'•.' i- ' • * * - i > i . Seguranea to meat Genera! Shatter. From there we saaR land at Aserraderos to meet General Garcia and discuss several matters, including a landing- place for the army. You will accompany me and meet the Cubans." He paused. "Very good, sir." replied Holton, "When we return you will not return with us. You will remain with the Cubans. You will be introduced, not as a naval officer, hut as the correspondent of an English newspaper. Of course you must change your uniform" "Yes, sir." "While you are with the Cubans It is particularly desirable that you further the investigations you have made already along the lines of Cuban plots against our troops, but, above all, I should consider your service most valuable If you could work your way Into Santiago and determine by whatever means the plans of the Spanish fleet. "If any information comes to you and you are unable to reach the flagship, I shall expect you to signal from any height within sight of my vessel. I shall have a man detailed, beginning tomorrow, to watch for any signals of the sort from you. Do you quite understand everything I have said?" "Yes, sir." "Very well. If you have time to change your clothing aboard, the Gnat and join our landing party at the Segurahca, we'll take you ashore with us. Otherwise you can go ashore In your dingey and meet us there." Holton saluted, paused a moment as the admiral seemed about to speak, and then as the commander, with hie half-weary air, turned to. a sheaf of correspondence, Holton left the cabin and was soon on his way to the Gnat. Here he changed his white uniform coat for a canvas shooting-jacket, his white trousers for a pair of khaki breeches and leggins, and, throwing his cap into a corner, took In Its place a felt campaign hat of the Marine Corps. Around his waist he strapped a Colt Ailed the belt with bullets, and then went up on deck. He saw the admiral's gig bounding toward the headquarters transport, and was on the point of proceeding to her himself when upon second thought he ordered the seaman at the oars to take him ashore. The tide wss low, and the landing waa made without difficulty in a beautiful bay. Holton took a pipe from his pocket and dismissing the dingey, sat down to wait The time waa not long, for within half an hour the officer saw several four-oarded gigs rounding the stern of the transport and making shore- He Wved Bwfftly. ward. As he arose a low whistle sound* ed In the manlgua behind him, and as though by magic two lines of Cuban soldiers appeared, the officers quite smartly attired, but the men ragged and unkempt All stood rigid as the white longboat, with Admiral Sampson la his spotless duck uniform and Shatter with his garb of blue and gold, approached the shorn. As soon ss the landing was made the officers were placed on animals brought to carry them, and the trip through the manlgua jungle, and Whence up the monataln trail to Garde's camp began. It was a hot, b> neadejaarters of tne Cuban which consisted of a hut of grass. The conference began at once< white the men passed among the visitors-refreshing cups of coconut ml^k* together, with mangoes and pineapples. Decision as to the places moat suitable for landing having been made, the Americans prepared to return to their vessels. Bugles sounded, the' half-starved soldiers lined the trail once more, and the procession started upon its descent. As Admiral Sampson was about to leave he turned to Garcia as though Ktruck by sudden thought and placed his hand on Holton's shoulder. "Mr. Ogilve, of the London Standard, who has been with me, wishes to view a part at least of this campaign from the Cuban standpoint, and I promised him I should speak to you. Can you take him for-awhile?" Garcia regarded Holton with penetrating black eyes and then bowed slightly. "I should be most happy to have him With ue," he smiled. "I am afraid our fare will be most humble and our life without even the little comforts one expect* in war." "Oh. I'm sure Mr. Ogilve will ndt object.? r',? '""•-• ' "Thank you, not at all," Holtonmterjected. He produced a batch of credentials which had been handed him by the admlrel'alafte en hour, or l^;1>ef*rf,,,and gave them tcOetteral Gareli*. - '• The Cuban, however, declines} to examine them, returning than! with an air of winning politeness. That night In,a Cuban camp, with the stars overhead, Holton sat with General Garcia and his officers and listened with quick sympathy while Garcia told of his imprisonment by the Spaniards ten years before, and of the sufferings and cruelties which eventually led him to shoot himself in the head in an effort to end it all. His release and the long fight for the freedom of his country sounded like a romance. And now, after all the discouragements and all the travail he had thia day entertained high officers of a nation greater than Spain, who had come here to assist in the cause so dear to him. "Mr. Ogilve," he Said, "I feel tonight that I have not lived in vain. The end is now near. I have prayed I might some day see this. Now my prayers have been answered." Holton nodded with great sympathy, and thereafter his attitude towards this war underwent a change. Formerly his spirit, like that of many of his brother officers, had been one of aloofness, so far as Cuba was immediately concerned. It was the war Itself, the chances of glory, the prospects for quick promotion, the opportunities for putting into practice that which they had learned, which had carried the great appeal, the cause of Cuba remaining very much in the abstract. Now Holton saw the situation in a different light He could feel intimately that he was engaged in a work for humanity; that he waa to be one of those who were to be concerned in actively bringing into the world a new nation. Then, filled with the heaviness of the climate, he spread his blanket upon a bed of boughs, and lulled by the sighing of the leaves, he closed his eyes and was soon asleep. He must hsve slumbered an hour, when he awoke suddenly. Ordinarily he was a sound sleeper, and he knew that his awakening waa due to some outward cause. He lay for a moment wondering, and then the sound of low voices gave him the cause of his rousing. A glance toward General Garcla's quarters revealed to him the figure of that soldier, gating thoughtfully into a small fire. A second glance showed that the old soldier waa conversing with an officer whom he had not noticed before. Holton wound himself snugly in his blanket and was about to fall asleep when a sentence arrested his mind and brought him wide awake. "X do not ask you, general, what your convictions as to the United States are. I tell you merely what circumstances may arise and ask you what you would do in that event" Garcia shook his head slowly. 1 decline to discuss improbabilities, or rather impossibilities," he answered. T h e United States has acted nobly, and will so continue to act" (TO B« CONTINUED.) ' * m : ggg Breakage.

Lewis formerly lived near Dayton, Ohio, He went to Saskatchewan seven yearB ago with $1,800 in money, a carload of household effects and farm implements, including four horses and three cows. Of course, the first year he only got feed from the cropB, but the second year had 100 acres in wheat which made over 2,800 bushels. He has not had a failure in crop, and at present has 22 head of horses, 15 head of cattle and 35 hogs, and owns 1,120 acres of land, all under cultivation. He has been offered $35 an acre for his land, and should he care to dispose of his holdings he could pay all his debts and have $30,- 000 to the good; but, as he says, "Where could I go to Invest my money and get as good returns." He continues in his letter to the Immigration department, August 1912: "We have equally as good if not better prospects for crops this year as we had three years ago, when our wheat ranged from 30 to 48 bushels per acre. I never believed such crops could be raised until I saw them myself. I had 15 acres that year that made 50 bushels to the acre. Our harvest will be ready by the 12th. We have this season in crop 400 acres of wheat, 125 of oats, 90 of flax and run three binders with four men to do the stooking.

Stanley, the explorer, landed In New Oreans, he was a barefooted boy. He applied at one of the newspaper offices for a job ai errand-boy, according to the Star Monthly. The manager, Impressed by his alertness, engaged him for night duty; then, observing his barefeet said; "Run home and put on ybur1 vhoes and stockings." "I haven't got any," said Stanley. "Well, can't you get aoine?" "I'll try," said the boy. "Come back with shoes and stockings or I c,an't take you," said the manager; and Stanley went out to face a harder problem than was the search for Livingston. After thinking it out, he slipped back into the business office, and buttonholed the day-boy. "Have you got another pair of shoes and stockings?" he asked. "No," said the other. "Well, you go off duty at 6 o'clock don't you? I'll give you fifty cents when I get paid if yu'll lend me your shoes and stockings for a week. I'll leave 'em under the desk every morning for you." I'll do it," said the other boy; _ and so young Stanley made his entry InTandtnat'thechairman b e a l l o w e d t h e J i n t o J o u r n a l i s m .

Some women are like rugs—tactless. Swell society Is like the tropics— serpents are there. Ma says a girl may be set In her ways without being a jewel. A man can get trimmed in good style without visiting a milliner. When a girl gets to reciting "To be or not to bee," she gets Btung. Pa says that when an autoist won't take anybody's dust he usualy gets laid in it When a man loves the ground a woman walks on, she should keep but of the mud. Pa says if a stingy man could see himself as others see him, he would be miser-able. In Indiana they buy Jam at the grocers' while In New York you get it in the subway. Soldier boys are so strong with the girls that when they get Into a fight it 1» called on engagement— Rose Melville. When His Turn Would Come. Not so long ago a well-known canon of Westminster was marrying two of his servants, one of whom was his footman. As had been his custom, whenever he answered a question the footman saluted. The canon whispered to him to dispense with the salute and simply repeat—after him. It was an unfortunate Instruction, for when the question came, ''Wilt thou have this woman to be thy wedded wife?" etc., the footman J was obedient to the very letter and said, "After you, sir."—The Tatler * Remember* In poking fun Don't ever blurt A single word it to burt 4 < • « • \ Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

But over the richer rural parts of Ireland has come Intelligent organized industry and enthusiastic energy which make it as rich and prosperous as the richest portions of the great middle west In America. Rural Ireland is unquestionably a regenerate Ireland. The process of regeneration is progressing. Prosperity is crowding out poverty and invading even those regions which have heretofore been considered the natural strongholds of poverty. How Prosperity Came to Ireland. There are several contributing causes for this changed condition. The land tenure laws have done wonders. •Tinder old conditions the slightest indication of prosperity upon the part )of the tenant, if it were only a new cap •or the wife a clean apron, meant a raise in rent. It was to the advantage of the tenant farmer to seem more miserable than he was. The system iput a premium on squalor and raggedness and slovenly farming. No one «ould safely whitewash his cottage or iplant a tree or cultivate a flower. Now All Is changed. Three hundred thousand farmer tenants are now purchasing their holdings under a beneficent law, which permits the purchase of the land without the advance payment of a cent. The only obligation upon the ipurchaser is that he pay annually 2¾ iper cent, upon the value of the little 'farm as interest and less than one-half per cent as an installment upon the principal. Plunkett Teaches Co-operation. There can be no doubt that rural [Ireland is making a business success of farming. But it is not doing its business in.a business-like way because of any spontaneous impulse on the part of the Irish farmer. It is rather be- •cause business-like Irishmen went about organizing the business procedure of rural enterprises in a most [business-like way. The leader of these 'business-like Irishmen is Sir Horace Plunkett. To him Ireland owes more than it will ever realize. From the (first his propaganda, was educational. iHis proposition was that the IriSh (farmer must be taught the efficacy of •combination in industries. He did not believe in subsidies or subventions. iNor did he believe that relief would icome through legislation or through state aid in any form. As Father Fintay, professor of econimics in the National University of Dublin, says: "The (farmers' best resources he held to be themselves, and In their own Intelligence, self-reliance and mutual trust, wind these resources it was his purtpose to develop." He Encounters Difficulties. There seemed to be most excellent (reasons why he could not succeed. The ilrish people were dispirited and discouraged. They were suspicious and 'afraid of all new movements. Sir 'Horace Plunkett himself belonged to ithe despised landlord class, with which the people had been long in constant (conflict. As Father Finlay says: "In religion he was a Protestant and his appeal would be to a people predominantly Catholic in a country where religious lantagonisms prevade every sphere of social life. In politics—so far as he rwas a politician—he was a Unionist, iand those whom he proposed to influence were Nationalists by a vast majority, keenly suspicious of any policy Which threatened to divert the mind wf the nation from the political alms on which it was passionately bent." It is not surprising, therefore, that it (was only after more than a year of ptrenuous efforts and after more than •fifty public meetings had been held, thai in 18S9 a body of Limerick farmers'finally consented to establish a cooperative creamery. It was again over a year before a second one followed (•art By the end o! 1891, however, Iwventeen creameries were at work, and at the end of 1893 thirty had been Organized. Thereafter the cooperative [societies were organised more rapidly. Now op-operation and good business (method / prevail throughout Ireland. rThere ' are 980 cooperative eottStttes upon the island. With an agigregaU paid up share capital of about « million dollars their annual turn-over jti twelve million dollars. , The I. A. 0. 8. • B„i& imrt*» co-operaUre movement jkt* become so great that there was *jg*»d of * central society to carry on the work which had theretofore been done by volunteer propagandists, There was needed an organization which should help rural communities organize their marketing and business processes, be a central federation of all existing societies, and become a supervisor and auditor of their business methods. Such a society is the Irish Agricultural society. At its head has been and is Sir Horace Plunkett, who has been the John the Baptist of the gospel of co-operation in Ireland. He is ably assisted by the secretary, Mr. R. A. Anderson, a man of rare executive ability and of eminent common sense. Associated in the movement also is Mr. George W. Russell, brilliant journalist and editor of the Irish Homestead, a man who is* practical as well as a poet and painter. The vice-president of the organization is Rev. Father Thomas A. Finlay, professor of economics in the National University at Dublin, a Catholic priest who has a most rare and kindly knowledge of human nature, combined with a splendid head for the details of the business of the co-operative organization. Seldom has so well balanced a quartet of men been associated together in any economic movement. They are in very fact a power for the business regeneration of rural Ireland. Practically all of the co-operative societies in Ireland have been organized by the I. A. O. S. Its organizers meet with the promoters of a news society and give them the benefit of the experiences of the older societies. They furnish a set of rules, advise as to equipment, install a system of bookkeeping and good business methods. The society has a staff of skilled, experienced men who are organizers, editors and inspectors. To it co-operative societies make certain definite reports. To it they constantly go for advice and council and over them it maintains a most complete power of audit., The function of the society is to unify and coordinate, to inspect, to audit, to advise. It has been its achievement to pilot all co-operative organizations through the struggles and difficulties inherent in the Initiation of the movement to ultimate success. During the parliamentary recess of 1895, through the efforts of this same statesman, Sir Horace Plunkett, there was brought together a committee of representative men of various parties and creeds, who later presented a petition to the government praying for the Institution of a state department which would fulfil the functions of a ministry of agriculture for Ireland. These proposals were embodies in a law enacted in 1899 and immediately thereafter the department of agriculture, with Sir Horace Plunkett at its head, began its career of education. The present head of "the department of agriculture and technical instruction," as it is now termed, is the Hon. Thomas W. Russell. Agricultural Wholesale Society. As was but natural, the co-operative organizations, after they had established themselves and began furnishing a product of high quality, found that the individual managers of the separate societies had not facilities for obtaining a knowledge of the market. To understand fully the conditions in all markets to which Irish products might reasonably be expected to have access was too large a task for each scattered organization to undertake for itself. Consequently the Irish Agricultural Wholesale society, limited, began business. At first it confined itself to the marketing of IriBh products. Later, when local co-operative societies found trouble in getting goods of high quality at reasonable prices, the organization took up the jobbing business as a side issue. Now it maintains two branches, one-seventh of its business is performed as a jobber, six-sevenths of its business is marketing Irish goods. About one-third of the Irish products handled go across the channel to England and Scotland. The healthful growth that has occurred In the business of the concern from 1906 to 1912 is indicated by the following figures: J.9U0 . . « < • > > . < • • • » « . . , • • • • • • • B Z ( 0 , 4 v 0 lifU i • > . • . . . • • » • • • • « • • • • « « » . . 3*8»lo5 ltfUB « « . . . « • » . » • « , • • » • • « , • • » • 3 V 5 , 7 D O 1909 521,630 1910 .*....... 617,5*0 ltfll >••...•..••,..•,•..«,.,, 664,645 1912 884,509 The Irish Homestead. The great co-operative movement Is not without its press a r m . Too Irish Homestead announces itself as "the organ of Irish agricultural and industrial development." Such it undoubtedly it. It does not, however, confine itself to teaching the doctrine of cooperation, but contains departments dealing with ail phases of agricultural development. The number before me has articles or comments upon the following subjects: "The Plea for the Middleman," "Seed Germination and Growth," "Live Stock Notes," "Tuberculosis," "Poultry," "Creamery Management," "Pages for Irish Countrymen." It also contains a column devoted to to the interests of "The United Irishwomen." The Irish Homestead is edited by George W. Russell, a brilliant writer, the clarity and force of whose editorial comments extend the subscription list to many who are not of those directly interested In the agricultural subjects which are the maintops discussed in the journal. The United Irishwomen. In all his efforts for Improving the conditions of rural Ireland, Sir Horace Plunkett makes constant use of the formula, "Better farming, better business, and better living." It is true that "better living" is placed within the reach of many an Irish family because of the returns guaranteed from the better farming and better business which come through co-operation, but as Father Finiay says in the article hertofore referred to, " At an early stage of the movement a scheme of what was called "home-brightening" was put into operation in certain selected centers where successful co-operative societies had been established. Educated ladies who had experience in peasant life in the more advanced rural communities of the continent were settled in model cottages. They received the women and 9 girls of the locality and taught them such elements of housekeeping as would enable them to turn the resources of house, garden and farmyard into best account. Later they became more intimate in their advice and assistance and became instrumental in the preparation of the family meals, suggested reforms In the matter of cleanliness and order, brought about the larger use of garden fruit and vegetables and taugh methods of preserving them. Soon the men of the family, becoming interested, co-operated In the process of home brightening. Simple Improvements were made, whitewash liberally applied, a kitchen garden cultivated, trees and flowers were planted, and shrubs and roses trained to grow against the walk. The cost of this home brightening scheme was at first defrayed by Sir Horace Plunkett, who devoted to it the salary attached to his office of vice-president of the department of agriculture. He realized, however, that it was essentially a women's work and should be in their hands. This led to the organization of "The United Irishwomen." As Miss Pilkington, one of their leaders, says: "The work which the United Irishwomen propose to do in rural Ireland may be considered under three heads—agriculture and industries, domestic economy, social and intellectual development. Home dairying can be mu&h improved, and it is of immense importance that a sufficient supply of milk for every household should be available. Many girls are employed In shops at bookkeeping, but few ever try to keep their father's accounts for him, although quite capable of doing so when they first leave school. "The branch committee of the United Irishwomen in co-operation with the county committee under the department of agriculture, and assisted by the farmers' societies, could do for the fanner's wife what the Irish Agricultural Organization society does for the farmer." SplenoNd Social Center. • member of the Kilkee branch of the United Irishwomen writing to an American interested in the movement says: "Our neighboring branch at Doonaha (about five miles from this) has combined with the farmers and others to purchase a disused creamery and make it into a parish hall, where we will hold classes under the various instructresses supplied by the congested districts board, the department and others, and where we will also have dances, plays, concerts and all the other things which make life happy for the country side. "Our branch here had an entertainment on November eve, which is an old Irish festival, as perhaps you know. We had games of various kinds, and dancing, including Irish jigs. We now have a teacher of plain needlework sent by the congested districts board, In Doonaha, and hope to get her for Kilkee later on. "Tomorrow we open our Girl club for winter evenings here in Kilkee, and in the same rooms we provide hot breakfast for the farmers and drovers who come in with cattle, on fair days, at cheap rates. We also serve hot cocoa to the school children who need It, every day at luncheon hour." And so the salvation of Ireland is after all being worked out by a big co-operative scheme in which local socities, the wholesale society, the agricultural department of the government, the I. A. O. 8., the Irish Homestead* and the Unit#d Irishwomen all aro paying important part*. WILSON DN TOLLS DECLARES EXEMPTION OF U. S. COATW1SE SHIPPING IS MISTAKEN ECONOMIC POLICY. P R E S I D E N T READS MESSAGE Chief Executive Asks Congress to Repeal Adamson Act Containing Objectionable Clause—Powers Hold It Violation of Treaty. Washington, March 5.—President Wilson appeared personally before congress again this afternoon, this time to read a special message urging the repeal of the provision in the Panama canal act exempting American coastwise vessels from payment of tolls. This message was written and delivered In accordance* with the request of Representative Underwood. The Democratic floor leader felt that the president should assume the responsibility for action that will be directly contrary to one of the resolutions adopted by the last Democratic convention, and that he should give his reasons for favoring the repeal so that members who voted for the exemption clause would have an excuse for changing their attitude. President's Message. The address follows:-• "Gentlemen of the Congress: "I have come to you upon an errand which can be very briefly performed, but I beg that you will not measure its importance by the number of sentences in which I state it. No communication I have addressed to the congress carried with it graver or more far-reaching implications to the interest of the country and I now come to speak upon a matter with regard to which I am charged in a peculiar degree by the constitution Itself with personal responsibility. "I have come to ask for the repeal of that provision of the Panama canal act of August 24, 1912, which exempts vessels engaged in the coast trade of the United States from payment of tolls, and to urge upon you the justice, the wisdom, and the large policy of such a repeal with .the utmost earnestness of which I am capable. Exemption a Mistake. "In my own judgment, very fully considered and maturely formed, that exemption constitutes a mistaken economic policy from every point of view, and is, moreover, hi plain contravention of the treaty with Great Britain concerning the canal concluded on November 18, 1901. But 1 have not come to you to urge my personal views. I have come to state to you a fact and a situation. "Whatever may be our own differences of opinion concerning this muchdebated measure, its meaning is not debated outside the United States. Everywhere else the language of tne treaty is given but one interpretation, and that Interpretation precludes the exemption I am asking you to repeal. Consented to Treaty. "We consented to the treaty; its language we accepted, if we did not originate it; and we are too big, too powerful, too self-respecting a nation to interpret with too strained or refined a reading the words of our own promises just because we have power enough to give us leave to read them as we please. The large thing to do is the only thing we can afford to do, a voluntary withdrawal from a position everywhere questioned and misunderstood. We ought to reverse our action without raising the question whether we were right or wrong, and so once more deserve our reputation for generosity and the redemption of every obligation without quibble or hesitation. "I ask this of you in support of the foreign policy of the administration. I shall not know how to deal with other meetings of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence if you do not grant it to me in ungrudging measure."

Permission Granted Several Days Ago Prevents Danger of International Complications From Action. Laredo, Ter.—Texas rangers, who secretly crossed into Mexico Saturday qight, Sunday brought to the American eids the mutilated body of Clemente Vergara, Texas ranchman, and established the fact of his execution after he was seized by Mexican federals. The rangers were not opposed, accomplishing their search without the slightest violence, taking the body from a grave in Hidalgo cemetery, almost within sight of the Texas border. The seizure was divested of possibly grave aspects in international complications, by reason of the fact th?t the rangers were virtually making use of permission granted officially by Mexican federal authorities several days ago for recovery of the body. This permission had been given to United States Conseul Alonzo Garrett at Nuevo Laredo, but he did not get the body because of what he reported as dangers attending search for it in the immediate vicinity of Hidalgo. Vergara was- shot twice through the head and once through the neck, his skull was crushed as by a blow from a rifle butt, and the charred fingers of the left hand indicated he had been tortured before being put to death.

The verdict of the coroner's jury, clearing the Citisens Alliance of all blame, was also included in the records. Witnesses for Sheriff Cruse told of the south Range raid, participated in by Alliance members and the seizure of guns and ammunition in Union hall.

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE Smithvllle, Ind.~"Six months ago our baby girl, one year old, had a few red pimples come on her face which gradually spread causing her face to become very irritated and a fiery red color. The pimples on the child's face were at first small watery blisters, just a small blotch on the skin. She kept scratching at this until in a few days her whole cheekB were fiery red color and instead of the little .blisters the skin was cracked and scaly looking and seemed to itch and burn very, much. "We UBed a number of remedies which seemed to give re.lief for a short time then leave her face worse than ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuti* cura Soap and a box of Cuticura Qint* ment. I washed the child's face with very warm water and Cuticura Soap, then applied the Cuticura Ointment very lightly. After doing this about three times a day the Itching and burning seemed entirely gone in two days' time. Inside of two weeks' time her face seemed well. That was eight months ago and there has been no return of the trouble." (Signed) Mrs. A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world. Sample of each free,with 32-p.

This was shown in the case of a son of Erin recently reported, who, upon being reproached by a former acquaintance with no longer knowing him, retorted: "Know yez? No, Oi don't know yez, an if whin Oi did know yez Oi'd known yez as well as Oi know yez now, whin I don't know yez at all, I'd niver have known yez!" Merely a Rehearsal.

"If you women want to find things out why «, don't you follow the advice of St Paul and ask your husbands? You women are such fools." This was too much for Mrs. Simpson- Jones' long humbled spirit.

While din- Ipg at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter In the act of robbing a beautiful young lady. She thanks him for his service and gives her name as Miss La TosBa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at * ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl Is a spy Senor La Tosaa chides his daughter for her failure to secure' Important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Ouba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At sea >he is overtaken by another warship which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton is ordered to return to Tampa. He saves the transports from destruction 4it the hands of. dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton Is sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to Investigate Cuban plots Against the.American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. CHAPTER VII.—Continued. "Nevertheless," persisted his inquisitor. "I aek you what you would do. Come, come,"—Holton recognized by his manner a personage of some authority in the Cuban cause—"it 'would be so easy for you to say that until Cuba is absolutely free no drop of blood in your body is your own." "It would be easy to say that," was the ead response, "but I have shed my /blood. I am old. I have struggled and suffered for my country. In the intervention of the United States I see the answer to all my struggles and to all my prayers. I am like a man who has come to the end of a long journey. 3 see the brightness ahead, the load is eased from the back. God's hand is mow at work in this island. And as this hand moves, so will I abide. He lhas Bent the Americans here and he will send them away in good season after their work is done. If not, then 00 be It" For a moment there was silence. Then Garcia spoke again. "You have nothing to fear. It is my thought that unless our American tfrlendSv make a speedy ending of this campaign they will be routed by disease, and if they do not fly they will die, surely and certainly. And thus •even if I agreed with you in your contentions, I should Btill advocate leaving the matter to God." "Time will tell. And now you must »leep, general. Who was that American/' he added, "who remains with syouf "An Englishman, a newspaper writer," was the reply. "He is not English; he, is American." "Admiral Sampson vouched for him. But at any rate, suppose he is an [American? He might be that and still fbe a writer for the English press." General Garcia arose decisively. "As you suggest," he said, "I most teieep. There Is yet much before me." "There Is much yet before us all," grumbled the officer. "Good night, {general." As Garcia turned to his tent the man walked to the fire; he leaned down, tseized an ember and lighted a cigarette. The flames shone full upon his Iface. With a half gasp Holton arose in Oils blanket, and then, as the fellow straightened up, he sank back upon fthe boughs. But his eyes never left [the man's face. At length, with quick motion, the Cuban turned toward Holton, who had jjust time to close his eyes. Thus he lay tense, listening for the sounds that [would have caused him to spring to his [feet—the sounds of the man's foot* steps approaching him. Bat the sounds did not come. As (Holton at length opened his eyes he saw the man writing by the light of the Are upon a small pad lying on his [knee. "Ton are indeed a good waiter, my Ifrlend," muttered Holton to himself, iand rising from his blanket he walked noiselessly toward the fellow he had first seen, in the dining-room at the New Willard. So deeply was the man engrossed in U s writing that Holton'a, movement £u unnoticed by him. And for this oKon thanked him sincerely before fbe had gone two steps. v H e acted upon Impulse in rising (from his blanket, and without any deflmlte intention save that of accosting fthe man. But now the futility of doing ftnjs ia ,tti4 'campV w*it Oarcia not yet asleep, and without any well-informed plans for dealing with him appealed to him forcibly. He stopped suddenly In his tracks and then stole back to his bed of boughs. ( Holton's mind waB in sore quandary as to what to do. Unquestionably this man held a high place in the esteem of Garcia, who just as certainly had no idea that he was a Spanish spy. As to the conversation, Holton believed he had the key to that; the spy was engaged in the process of poisoning the minds of Cuban leaders against the Americans, a plot which, if carried forward successfully and rapidly, might seriously affect the present campaign, and at the same time have a decided tendency to give point to certain relations already strained with several powerful foreign nations. One thing was sure, the moves of this man must be checkmated, and sharply. Just how was the question. Holton lay there deliberating what he ought to do for more than an hour, and still undecided when the spy settled things for him by slipping his pad in his pocket and walking toward his horse. He stood for a moment there, his head turned toward Garcia's little hut of leaves and grasses, and then mounting he rode off down the trail. Holton now lost no time in deciding on his course. Obviously it was to the interests of his government that this man be watched, and so waiting for a minute until the bushes had closed behind the spy, he stealthily started in pursuit. After leaving the lines, Holton quickened his steps, keeping well within the shadow of the bushes until he was within fifty feet of the rider. Presently the bottom of the mountain was reached, and the spy continued on through the manigua Jungle. As he broke through into the open, Holton made a little detour and came out on the beach, crawling now, about seventy- five feet from where the man was standing, holding his horse by the bridle and gazing out over the bay, where could be made out the light of a dispatch boat. As the officer watched him, the spy raised his hand, and a low but penetrating whistle broke the stillness of the night A lantern waved from a craft in the bay, and in a few minutes the rattle of oars in their locks sounded. As the boat came shoreward, Holton, now breathlessly interested, wriggled his way nearer the spy and flattened against the sand and shielded by small growths of chaparral, he awaited the arrival of the boat. As it grated on the beach, a tall of* fleer sprang out, and Holton had no difficulty in recognizing him as one of General Shatter's aids. "Well, Montez," said the latter, 'I thought you were never coming." "I thought so, too," was the reply. "There was difficulty in getting out of the camp, but now I am here and I have information the general wishes." "All right. What is it?" "Calixto Garcia Is not your friend. He is one of the leaders in a plan to attack you once you have rid Santiago province of the Spaniards. I can give you proof." The spy drew from his pocket the pad upon which he had been writing and, tearing off a sheet, handed it to the officer, who read it by lighting a match and holding it in front of the paper. "That is a copy of a letter which General Garcia wrote tonight to General Castillo and General Rabi." "Are you* sure of this?" "Absolutely. But I will say this much: The message, as I have it, is not word for word. I read it after he wrote i t for he showed It to me; after he fell asleep' I wrote it from memory." "Very well. Have yon anything else to teli me? Will Garcia carry out die arrangements made with General Shatter this afternoon?" "Oh, yes; he will. You will understand that nothing which will hinder American success against the Spanlards will be done; Garcia and the other Cuban generals are looking to the futare." "Very well; HI report to the com* mande-Mn-chiel What are your futare Intentions r "I should like to accompany you to the Sefaranca. General Shatter may have some questions, and, in any event, I shaH feel safer *t asm just at "You see," the spy added, "my role as one of the leaders of the Cuban Junta, coupled with my supposed belief in the absolute integrity and disinterestedness of the United States as regards Cuba, sometimes lead me into danger. Garcia, who is my friend, believes in me, but Castillo, I have reason to think, iB suspicious. Garcia meets Castillo tomorrow, and so—" he shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands. "All right," grunted the American; "jump Into the boat." Before the spy obeyed, he turned for a moment and repeated his whistle. Then, in a very mild voice, he said: "It is time, senor, for your salad— with dressing." Holton, knowing the words were addressed to him, was oi\the point of scrambling to his feet when a powerful arm was thrown across his throat, throttling him, while, at the same time, his handB and feet were seized and bound in a twinkling. A gag was then slipped into his mouth, and he lay there helplessly, regarding the four figures who stood over him. "What is it?" .he heard the officer say. "Merely," was the reply, "an inquisitive soldier from Garcia's camp. They bother me so—you have no idea." "Well," was the laughing reply, "you certainly seem to know how to deal with them. Now, come on, if you are coming." "Thank you; yes." He delivered a volley of commands in Spanish, speaking so rapidly that Holton could not understand a word. The men replied in kind, and then the officer and^ the spy stepped into the boat and were rowed offshore. CHAPTER VIM. A Grim Announcement. The men, who proved to be three gigantic negroes and a white man, attired in the blue drill uniform of a Spanish officer, with a little cockade in his felt hat, Jerked Holton to, his feet, cut the lashings about his ankles and hurried him toward the trail. Finally, as hints of dawn appeared overhead, the party arrived at a small clearing where were picketed some score of horses, with their riders, evidently a contingent of Spanish cavalry. There was a short conference, and then the gag was taken from Holton's mouth and he was lifted upon a pony. The cavalcade took up the trail Which ran alongside the mountain, below the camp of Garcia, in the direction of Santiago. As the sun rose, a halt was called in a little valley, and preparations were made for what Holton believed would be a stay of considerable duration. It was then that for the first time a word was spoken directly to Holton. A Powerful Arm Was Thrown Across His Throat An officer—not the one who had figured in his capture, but the man in charge of the detachment—confronted the Ajnerican as he sat on the ground, and, releasing his hands, placed a guard over him. "You will have apportunity for two hours' rest," he said, bowing. "Then we shall proceed at once to Santiago." "But why have I been captured?" Ipfttested Holton. "I am a non-combatv. • He produced Ms credentials as correspondent of the London Standard. The officer examined them carefully. Then he placed them in his pocket. "I am convinced you are lying," he replied simply. "Our information concerning you is exceedingly accurate. For your sake I trust the papers may be found correct. For otherwise"—he shrugged hlB BhoulderB—"you are a spy." A chill passed over Holton. He had not thought of that before. A spy! And in war time they had a summary way of dealing with such. After a very meager breakfast, the men threw themselves upon the ground, chatting and smoking, and Holton did likewise. He felt in its fullness the relief of having his hands free, and, in large measure, despite the guard standing over him and the men all about, he became possessed of greater confidence in his ability to meet this situation, the most dangerous that had ever confronted him. Fearing, no doubt, the proximity of Garcia's men, the soldiers did not move until late afternoon, and then with great stealth, all talking in the ranks being rigidly silenced. Holton had had opportunity for several hours' sleep. He was thereby greatly refreshed, and, under reaction, his fears for himself were considerably lessened. Dusk fell, and still the march continued. On through the night went the men, and without a stop until dawn, when camp was made in a clearing which had been cut where two of the mountain trails met and crossed. Here, as the heavens grew bright, fires were lighted, and a meal prepared, after which sentries were posted. Then the camp settled down for sleep. Holton had no idea how many miles had been covered since his capture, but felt it must be a great many. Standing up he could now see far away over the hills the twinkling lights of Santiago, and these he could not help viewing with dread. At nightfall the march was again taken up, and at dawn the force was within a few miles of the city. A squad was sent on ahead to report to General Linares, but came flying back in a few hours with messages to the effect that the soldiers were leaving for El Paso, and that the troops of the United States would shortly advance from Siboney. There were other matters, too, in the papers brought by the messenger, and one of them seemed to concern Holton, for the officer, while reading it, glanced at him with a troubled face. At length he came up to Holton and drew him to one side. "I am sorry to inform you," he said, "that I have orders here to hang you at once." Holton stepped hack as though he had been struck in the face. "Hang me at once!" he cried. "Those are my orders, signed by the commander-in-chief of this province. "But there must be some mistake," Holton went on, "I am not a spy; but even if I were I certainly have done nothing to justify an act so unfair, inhuman and outrageous." "I do not see how any mistake could have been made," came back the answer. "Here you see the warrant signed by Muller, the general's aide." "Then General Linares did not sign that warrant?" "No. It reads General Linares 'orders,' and is then signed by Muller." "But surely—" Holton began. "There is no time for argument, my brother. We are ordered to Guaismas and have no time to waste with you. I am sorry, but—" the fellow shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the order. Holton's mind worked like lightning. The men were engaged in breaking camp and the one who had been guarding Holton had turned aside at the officer's approach, and now, with his back toward the two, was extracting a clip of bullets from his Mauser. Behind Holton was an apparently impenetrable jungle of manigua. The muscles^of his body grew tense, and then with all the skill and all the sureness of direction of the champion middleweight boxer at Annapolis, he sent his fist swiftly and silently into the officer's Jaw. Without a sound the man crumpled to the ground. Holton stepped back into the thicket was blocked a few feet from the trail, but exerting all his power, forced his way Into the depths of the jungle. During a fall minute silencej-elgned in the camp. It was all of that period before the prostrate officer, hidden by the long grass, was discovered by Holton's guard. Then his outcry sounded through the clearing, and in another instant loud commands were being uttered and bullets were cutting branches of manigua on all sides of the fugitive American.

Co-Operative Farm Products Marketing Hotv // Jj Done in Europe and May Be Done in America to the Profit of Both Farmer and Consumer By MATTHEW S. DUDGEON. i *W<JJJ> i l y h L. U 1 4 . \ \ rMU-rti N e w s p a p e r Uiuo:i.j CO-OPERATIVE LESSONS LEARNED IN IRELAND * o Dublin, Ireland.—There ia no magic In co-operation. It is not a cure-all for economic ilia. Cooperative concerns succeed because they employ good business methods. In fact cooperative marketing ia good business and good sense and intelligence applied to farm marketing. This is the biggest and most important lesson to be learned in Ireland. As Rev. Father Finley, a great believer in co-* operation, says in an article in the Constructive Quarterly, "That it has been productive of much material good to those who employed its methods with intelligence and energy, is beyond question; that it has been barren of useful results where those qualities were wanting is equally undeniable." Co-operative marketing succeeds in Ireland because it stands for three things: (1) Good business methods and intelligent management; (2) A uniformly high quality of product; (3) justice, equality and loyalty among members. Without these characteristics co-operation -fails in Ire* land and fails everywhere. These are the lessons that Ireland has to teach America. No group which does not insist upon running its co operative concern along these lines can succeed. To tolerate poor business methods, laxity as to quality, or disloyalty and injustice to each other is to fail. These are some things Americans will not be required to experiment upon, because the Irish have already tried them out. Simply Good Business. Irish co-operation makes money for farmer and city consumer alike. It has succeeded in bringing the producer and consumer nearer together. The farm products go directly to the city consumer. The product arrives in good shape. It brings only a reasonable price. The result is that city man and farmer profit by the more economical method of distribution. But co-operative marketing after all is simply good, common *ense and efficient business. There i s \ o t h i n g mysterious about it. As we have said, there is in it no magic. The good co-operative marketing concerns over here succeed because they are well organized, well managed, intelligently governed, carefully supervised; because they are simply efficient business organizations in which 100 or 1,000 men with a common occupation and a common interest get together for a united, harmonious effort In which every man does his full share. Must Be Purely Democratic. Over here it ia always "one man one vote." One lesson that Ireland has for America is that no man and no small group of men can be permitted to control any co-operative organization. The principal of one man one vote must prevail. The man who has invested $1,000 must have no more voting power than the man who has St vested only $5. "Men, not property vote," is another expression vised here. Under this system no man een use the co-operative society for his own selfish ends. The poorest farmers attend the meetings, and If they show ability, go upon committees and become officers. The organization is most essentially democratic. AM Profits to the Producer. The purpose back of co-operative organization differs from that back of a commercial enterprise. It seeks not to make dividends for the man Who invests his moqey, but to provide that the producer shall receive the largest possible percentage of the price paid by the consumer. Ireland has found by experience that where large profits are paid to the investors t£*Vreal purposes of co-operation are net served. One ease is recorded American fruit growers organa so-called co-operative concern the joint stock plan. They inligled into the venture a large number of smaller growers who had little money to invest, but in the aggregate a very considerable amount of fruit to market The ones who Invested largely were In control and proceeded to make large profits for themselves as investors, and Ignored the interests of the fruit growers themselves. As a result the small growers were forced out of business.and out of .the country. . Here in Ireland so wen established p this principle that It is a definite rsie that no co-operative society can p a y mote than 5 per cent per ansnup upon the stock held by the shareholders. Bvery time that any group of Amer- •V • • * » f" i ican farmers have organized a cooperative marketing concern they have met Bharp and often unfair competition. The other established buyers have offered prices which were higher than the co-operative society could offer without taking a loss. Often they succeed in coaxing the members of the co-operative society from its support. It is hard for a farmer who is receiving only 35 cents per bushel for his potatoes at a co-operative warehouse to refuse 45 cents offered by some independent buyer. But the unvarying subsequent history is, of course, that as soon as the co-operative concern is put out of business by this sort of competition prices drop, and the farmer is where he was before, and helpless in the hands of the independent buyers, To obviate this difficulty in Ireland, it has been found necessary to explain the situation fully to the prospective members of the co-operative organization; to state to them that unless they are willing to agree to market all their product through the cooperative society it is useless to begin. They are warned that they will be approached by independent dealers and offered higher prices. But thus warned and informed upon the subject, the organizers of Irish co operative societies have had little difficulty in obtaining from the prospective members an agreement to market all of their produce through the concern. Importance of Quality, As we have said, there is no magic in co-operation. Co-operative marketing simply means that the farm produce is to be marketed in a businesslike way without undue waste during the process. Pioneers in Irish cooperation soon found that after they had discovered the best market and after they had organized the co-operative society, and after the members had agreed to bring all their produce to the company, cooperation was still an absolute failure whenever the members of the society delivered even occasionally, inferior goods and mingled them with the better goods. A creamery puts out 100 pounds of good butter; if the next pound is bad butter the market for the butter of that creamery is rained. Without high uniform quality co-operation cannot succeed. It becomes necessary therefore for the members all tq, co-operate in producing cream that is of the highest possible quality and reaches the creamery in the best condition. But Irish experience demonstrates that no private concern can compete in quality with a cooperative concern, for no private concern can control the product from its original source. "Control" Is Requisite. Quality c<*n be produced by the cooperative society, because these concerns reach out to the farm itself. It is not enough that a creamery has the best and latest methods of making butter and marketing it. If the cream comes in from the farm in bad condition, the butter is bad. To make good butter you must control the cow, and her feed, and her care, and the stables, and the milk pail, and even the milk can used In delivery. Certain rigid rules and conditions are laid down by the creameries themselves, and approved by a central committee. Each creamery participating ia the scheme is required to give free access during the working hours to the officers of the I. A. O. S. that they may inspect the premises and bookB, check the records, examine any butter in stock, and take for analysis samples of cream and butter. Each creamery is bound to maintain the most immaculate cleanliness, accept only milk that is clean, fresh and untainted, pasteurize all milk and cream, churn the cream at a temperature not to exceed 48 degrees F„ and affix the control label to no butter that exceeds the-16 per cent limit of moisture. The enforcement of such rules as this tending to result in high grade products is what is meant by "control." It is another of the big lessons that Ireland has to impart to prospective co-operators. And remember this: No stock company or private creamery ever yet was able to control the quality of butter by controlling every step back to the feed before the cow eats i t Consequently^ no privately owned creamery can make such butter as co-operative butter. Brands Must Be Used. It Is not enough that the inherent quality i s high. The quality must fle evidenced m some way readily recognizable by the public. Consequently a system of brands and labels has been devised for all products. By an educational process covering years the public as well as dealers have been taught that the brand of co-operation stands for quality. Consumers are taught to demand this brand as an evidence of quality. Retailers find that the brand sells the product without advertising. It is therefore the policy of Irish co-operation to have a brand. The affixing of the brand certifies quality and makes the article transferable at a fixed figure, just as the impress which the gold disk receives in the mint makes it a sovereign which passes current from hand to hand. An attorney, whose business has been largely rb investigate American bankrupt concerns makes the statement that he never knew a bad commercial failure where there was not either dishonesty or lack of bookkeeping methods. Bad failures comq only where no one iB fully informed as to the exact condition of the business. The Irish co-operators fully recognize this principle. Certain standard forms of bookkeeping have been worked out and largely adopted; the best methods of keeping the books, and of making summaries and reports for audit, have been also established, so that the exact condition may be brought to the attention of the members of the concern at any time. As a result we find everywhere throughout the co-operative enterprises of Ireland surprisingly efficient methods of accounting. The I. A. O. S. and its supervisory Byster are largely responsible for this situation. One of the greatest difficulties encountered was that of obtaining skilled managers for the various co-operative concerns. But skilled and intelligent they must be in order to insure success. For example, it is necessary that the man at the head of a creamery must not only be a n » 9 9 2 T«kjrr*f«v "0fl6ANi»t OUW-IK. •»Mn i_*au is. ii*uie »Y TM» l A U i ccnTKOl- COfiniTTi* Co-operative Butter Label. good butter maker, but he must be as well a bookkeeper, a business man, and a student of the markets. He must understand something of transportation and of packing for transportation. He must be what we in America would call a good mixer in order to establish the proper point of contact with customers and members as well. Combination of Concerns. It has also been determined by experience that the separate little concerns, some of which are necessarily managed by men of limited opportunity, cannot succeed unless they are federated and supervised and helped by a central organization. They need assistance in organization, in finding the best markets. The I. A. O. S. has not only assisted in organizing the co-operative societies, but receives periodical reports from the, visits and inspects them frequently, audits their "accounts, sees that their affairs are properly conducted, makes suggestions as to markets and other business problems, and gives council and advice generally. Some such supervision must come in America if co-operative success is to be general and lasting. Our Conclusion. Co-operation has undoubtedly succeeded in Ireland. It deserves to sue* ceed because it stands for a uniformly high quality of farm products, for fair dealing, for just returns to those furnishing the product, for justice'to the consumer, as well as producer, for good, clean business methods, for skilled management, for community loyalty and solidarity. Co-operation will succeed in the United States whenever it stands for these things. If it does not, it will fail. The sooner the co-operative enthusiast learnt that co-operation, like every other enterprise, must succeed on its merits, not on some mysterious inherent virtue, the better. Nothing could be more unwise at this time than to preach the doctrine that co-operation in Itself should be introduced anywhere and everywhere. If it is introduced before prospective members are ready to co-operate in a proper spirit fdr its success, it will inevitably fail Making Your Own Glue.

GAY FRILLS IN THE BOUDOIR Painty and Feminine Are the Ruffles Just Now'Being 8o Generously Made Use Of. As ruffles become more and more fashionable on feminine garb they begin to make a reappearance in feminine boudoirs. Ruffled window curtains, bed-spreads and pillow covers are replacing the straight bordered effects of the last few years and milady's sroom promises to become as gayly frilled a sanctum as it was a half century ago. Ruffled pillow cases are especially dainry and feminine and they give the final touch of luxury to the bed. If one does not desire to sleep on the beruffled pillows they may be exchanged at night for smaller pillows in plain linen slips, or the ruffled slips may be removed and put rn again next morning. This takes but a moment if the slip covers are roomy enough to go over the pillow without tugging. Two or three snap buttons sewed along the opening under the ruffles will hold the dainty covers smoothly in place and may be unfastened in a twinkling at night. Rather narrow ruffles give the best effect—two and a half inches should be the limit of width—and the hems should be very narrow also. Make the ruffle full enough to be fluted by the laundress and the effect will be very crisp and smart. Such pillow covers should be square, rather than oblong, and the pillow may be stuffed into the square, the snap buttons holding it in place. Of course the ruffles must go around all four sides of each cover, and the bed thus dressed will need no pillow shams, bolster roll or other device to hide the sleeping pillows from view. TO CLEAN COLORED FABRICS Liquid Resulting From Grated Raw Potatoes Mixed With Water Will Produce Gratifying Results. Grate raw potatoes to a fine pulp in clear water, and pass the liquid through a coarse sieve into another vessel of water. Let the mixture stand until the fine white particles of the potatoes are precipitated, then pour the water off and preserve for use. This liquid will clean all sorts of si'k, cotton or woolen goods without hurting them or spoiling the color. Two good-sized potatoes are sufficient for a pint of water. The article to be cleaned should be laid upon a linen cloth on a table, and, having provided a clean sponge, dip it into the potato water and apply it to the article to be cleaned until the dirt is entirely separated; then wash in clean water several times. The coarse pulp, wnich does not pass through the sieve, if of great use in cleaning wool draperies, carpets and other coarse goods. Easy Sunday Dinner.. Fresh beef tongue makes an economical and toothsome dinner for Sunday. It costs about half as much as the smoked variety and goes farther. Buy on Friday and soak over night in strong salt water. Cook the next morning in plenty of water, well salted. Add one-half cupful of cooked rice to the water and you will have an excellent broth for luncheon or dinner on Saturday. On Sunday slice the tongue cold and serve with it a Jelly or sauce. One can also cut out enough meat from around^the root of tongue for a few sandwiches or to use In croquettes or hash for Monday's luncheon. Fruit Souffle. Line a dish with fruit cut in small pieces, pour over a souffle mixture made as follows: Melt three tablespoons butter, add one-fourth cup flour and pour gradually one cup scalded milk. Beat the yolks of four eggs till stiff and lemon colored. Add gradually one-fourth cup sugar. Combine mixtures and fold in whites of four eggs beaten until stiff and dry* Indian Matting. Having discovered an excellent way to clean matting, I pass it on to others. B.eat the matting first to remove all dust, then take it out of doors and scrub it well with bran water or with water to which a small quantity of salt has been added. Soap has a tendency to turn matting yellow, and should not be used. After the matting has been put through this process, it should be rinsed with cold water, rubbed as dry as possible with a clean cloth and hung on a line to complete the drying. Box In Bathroom. A shirtwaist box in the bathroom will fill a want that is often felt. Very often the room is too email for both a chair and a hamper for soiled clothes. A shirtwaist or utility bos will answer both purposes and look better; If not needed for soiled clothes it will do for clean towels. Cream Pumpkin Pudding. Prepare pumpkin as for pies. Place pumpkin between two slices of bread, with whipped cream on top. This to am excellent dish. MAKES HARD WORK HARDER A bad back makes a day's work twice a| hard.

When they appear on the face, neck, or hands, they may be removed, but if ou other parts of the body it is best wA to bother them. To remove ihem, take a toothpick, wrap the end with a little cotton, moisten with acetic acid and touch the top of the wart or mole, taking care not to touch the surrounding tissue. In a few days a scab will form over the top of the wart or mole, but coutinue the treatment every night, allowing the scab to fall off of its own accord. In a short time the wart or mole will disappear and will not return. The treatment may came some pain, but they can not be removed with out pain. After the wart or mole is removed, it would be well to use a little cold cream to aid in restoring a condition of the skin.

Abraham Lowenstern, secretary of the Poultry Dealers' Protective association, said of a poultry fraud: "New York buys 300,000 pounds of sand weekly that it pays for at the chicken rate. Unscrupulous chicken raisers, you see, feed balls of sand and gravel to their poultry before it is shipped here. It's no uncommon thing to find a half pound of sand in the craw of a pound pullet. "Defenses? Oh, yes, I've heard a. defense from the chicken raisers— and it's abouj as good as Uncle Cal's. "General Carroll, you know, heard suspicious noises in his chicken house in the night.

Lieutenant Holton lg detached from his Icommand in the navy at the outset of the iSpanish-American war and assigned to 'Important Becret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful young lady. She thanks him for his service and gives her name as Miss I^a Tossa, a Cuban patriot. L«ater he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Senor La Tossa chides his daughter for her failure to secure important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her, They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the *incorJty of the United States. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa. who is considered a dangerous spy, .on Cubeu soil. At sea he is overtaken by another warship which tukes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton is ordered to return to Tampa. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Garcla's command In the guise o< a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn J D e s n i t e the fiiiir*PiiHnn* nt thA nrnx the plans of the Spanish, navy. . He de-1 , J i „ P " f " ® „ ™ ? „ ° " „ _ v ! _ P tects a trusted Cuban leader In the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. Holton is seized by friends of the spy and later Is ordered executed a s a spy. He escapes. CHAPTER VIII.—Continued. The shouts had grown more distant, -and Holton knew that no one else had stumbled upon the trail, or at least that was his belief until heheard behind him the sound of footateps^pattering down the clearing. He paused, curious to see if it were not one of the scouts who had located his hidden alleyway and found his suspicions true. As the big negro dashed to the end of the lane, Holton worked hie way to the opening through which he "had just come and waited, tense for the encounter. The man located the bent branches and with a little grunt started afresh on Holton's trail. It was the last sound he made for some time, for, as he burst through, the American's fist, launched with bone-shattering force, landed just two inches above his chin and down he went, like a stricken animal. Holton, with a prayer of thanksgiving, leaned over the huddled figure and was rejoiced to find that the fellow had a revolver and a belt filled with bullets, in addition to a hunting-knife. All these things Holton appropriated, and then leaving the negro where he lay, pursued his way into the forest. He had marked his direction before starting upon his flight, his intention being to make the hills over Santiago bay, ascertain the location of Cervera's fleet, watch for any signs that might give hint as to the intentions of the Spanish admiral, and then make for a point where be might signal Sampson's flagship. He had no thought of getting clear away until he had made a strong efat last he fell into a heap, dead asleep. When he awoke he was shivering. He realized his weakness but could not understand it, being usually a man of undeviating health, until it occurred to Uira that he had not eaten anything for nearly twenty-four hourB. But he had nothing with him to eat, and he did not dare discharge his pistol at the birds flying all about for fear of calling attention to his position in the jungle. So he arose, tightened Ws belt as he had read Indians used to do when pressed by hunger, and worked his way on, still holding to the left Continuing thus he stumbled suddenly upon a clearing, which apparently a large number of soldiers had left not many hours before. There were remains of a fire and, better still, scattered upon the ground were bits of hardtack, a whole pineapple and an abandoned kettle with some boiled rice remaining in it. He Went Down LHce • Stricken An I ma U tort to perform the mission upon which he had been dispatched. After walking all day with infrequent halts in the torrid heat, making perhaps ten or twelve miles, he came near sunset to a tall grove of palms. One of these he climbed and at length was able to locate his position in a general way. ** It may hate been fever working in his blood, although he felt well, but through his mind ran something, not a voice, more an impulse, which kept raggesting to him to tarn to the left Finally, staggering and stumbling, half asleep, he obeyed the inward injunc ^ tiosv and la this way proceeded antft 1 thsagh both nature sad man had imity of the Spaniards, Holton sat down and ate the most satisfactory meal of his life. Having eaten, he retired a little distance and lay back In the shadows. The sun warmed him, and the stiffness caused by the damp of the night left him. If, as he had feared, Sever had been in his blood, it had gone now and this Inspired him wonderfully. He was about to descend when the flash of something below caught his eye almost beneath his feet. He looked closely and caught the flash again, followed by another flash, then by several. A flash in this jungle meant polished metal of some sort, and metal of any sort here meant only one thing— soldiers. He strained his eyes downward and then caught glimpses of a trail, partially hidden from his view by bushes. On the side of the trail nearest to the eastward the land fell sharply away into a wide valley, the opposite sides of which were bush and tree-covered hills just as on his side. And now as he looked, the situation dawned clear upon him. For he could see men moving, falling back along the trail, and eventually debouching into bushes on either side. Holton's heart beat quickly. He remembered what the Spaniards had said of Americans marching from the direction of Siboney, and he knew that right before his eyes the Spaniards were arranging an ambush for them. But what could he do? Almost any moment a detachment of Spanish soldiers might come upon him. His slightest movement would tend to attract the attention of some of them. What was happening? Suddenly from the distance there came what sounded to Holton like the clatter of steel on steel. He at once recognised it as the sound a scabbard makes when it strikes against a spur. Hastily he looked down at the Spanish position, but not a sign of a soldier could he see. The trail was deserted, the surroundings were as quiet, as peaceful as the heart of a jungle.' It was too quiet, Holton thought. Suddenly the situation dawned clear —his countrymen were walking into a deadly trap! And he was powerless to help them. Then, as though a voice had whispered In his ear, he started up. Was he helpless? Tes, if he was considering himself. If fear of consequences to him personally were to be weighed, he was perfectly helpless. But not otherwise. Providence could not have smiled more benignly upon the Americans than In placing him just where he was—provided he justified the providential processes with the nerve of a hero. He rolled half on his side, loosened his revolver in its holster, and then drew it out No more sounds come from the trail, and yet, somehow, there was the impression of movement down there, a subconscious feeling of the approach of men. Holton, his eyes strained ahead, his ears alert for the slightest sound, started convulsively as a campaign hat appeared for an instant through a lift In the high grasses on the valley stda] of the trail. Then, flattening himself rigidly upon the ground, he.pointed his pistol in the direction of the Spaniards beneath him, and pulled" the trigger. The sharp report of the forty-four tore through the dead stillness with nerve-racking violence. It clattered across the valley in a hundred echoes. And then, as shocked into inanition, there followed a few seconds of pulseless silence. Again Holton's pistol rang out. This time, from the direction of the hidden advancing forces, there came several short, sharp commands. As Holton lay hidden, thankful'that the Spaniards had evidently attributed the shots to some overanxious soldier on their own side, he saw two Cubans steal along the trail and behind them a gigantic young sergeant in the uniform of a Rough Rider. Close behind him were four men. They were picking their way stealthily. There was no question that Holton's shots had the desired effect. Then, as he looked, several long, lancelike lines of flame darted out of the bushes in which the Spaniards lay. The valley resounded with a racketing uproar. He saw the big Rough Rider sergeant stop short with a look of surprise upon his face, saw his jaws set grimly, saw him advance a step, and then heave forward on his face, blocking the trail with his body. The bushes beneath Holton were now darting sheets of flame and the gases from the smokeless powder drifted upward and into his nostrils. From the American side he heard a crashing as the main body rushed up into action or deployed into the grass to the eastward of the trail and then suddenly out of the thicket came the roar of the Krags. Holton thrilled with pride as he noticed that the aim of the Americans was low and that the shooting discipline was excellent. The firing was incessant and Holton, whose activities wtth his revolver had brought a volley or two in his direction, now ceased firing and began to work his way into the valley toward the American position. He had not gone far when the advancing lines swept upon him. "Hello, Bud," cried a tall, swarthyfaced sergeant from a New Mexican ranch, "what're you doin' way 'out here?" Holton smiled and was about to reply when a red light suddenly flashed before his eyes and he clapped his hand to his forehead, for it seemed as though a red-hot brand had suddenly been clamped upon it. Then mercifully came darkness. -And as he lay thus in the tall grass, his eyes closed, blood streaming down his cheeks and coagulating in the hot sun, the Rough Riders met the regulars from across the valley, while four companies revolved around the left end of the hidden enemy and then, as the Spaniards later put it, "they started to catch us with their hands." For a mile and a half these men, who had marched into what approximated a deadly surprise, chased the Spaniards, sent them flying hastily from three successive barricades until finally, in utter route, they abandoned all thought of further interference with the American movement and fell back on the trenches before Santiago. But Holton did not witness this triumph of Ouaslmas. Long after the thin blue line had swept on up the valley he lay as he had fallen, vultures flying over him and terrible land-crabs rattling about, seeking for that food which death alone makes palatable to them. CHAPTER IX. Before San Juan. Ages seemed to have passed when Holton was aroused by a pleasant voice and the sensation that some revivifying fluid had been forced down his throat Some very sympathetic hand was touching his head and a genial voice was addressing him. "Come, old man, you're all right The bullet just clipped your very thick head and glanced off." Holton opened his eyes and saw a tall, broad-shouldered surgeon bending over him. "How do you feel now?" he asked, -Bully," smiled Holton. "I think I'll get up, If I may." "Oh, wm can get up just ss soon as you thins you feel sufficiently strong," replied the surgeon. He looked at Holton closely. "You're not of oar outfit Correspondent aren't youf' Holton smiled and shook his head. "No, my name is Holton, a lieutenant in the navy." "The navy! dad! You must has* been spoiling'for a landlubbers' scrap, then." " "I cams In from behind Santiago," volunteered Holton, "and ran Into this fight by accident. I have important information for Admiral Sampson, 11 you think I can get to the coast." "You certainly can. I am Bending a couple of wounded men down to Siboney now on horesback. I have another pony which you may borrow—remember, borrow," laughed the surgeon. "Be careful to keep that first-aid bandage on your head and by tonight you'U be all right. Not even a headache." "Thanks." Kolton, aided by the surgeon, got upon his feet, swayed weakly a moment with the other's arm around him, and then, getting his swimming head to rights, he walked slowly toward the trail. A hospital attendant stood there holding two horses, and one of these the surgeon took and assisted Holton into the saddle. "You can leave the nag at our camp in Siboney and I'll get him," he said. "By the way, my name is Church." "Bob Church, of Princeton?" exclaimed Holton, recalling now that he had seen that broad-shouldered young doctor on many a hard-fought gridiron. "The same," was the smiling reply. "Well, Bob Church, I owe you one," A Red Light Suddenly Flashed Before His Eyes. rejoined Holton. "I used to try to emulate your deeds on the eleven at Annapolis, but I don't think 1 ever succeeded." "Oh, yes, you did!" exclaimed the surgeon. "Holton—Holton—Tommy Holton—I place you now. I think they put something like All-America end after your name, a degree they never conferred upon me." Holton blushed; and then, thanking his benefactor, once more he passed on down the trail, in company with two privates, wounded in the "legs. As Holton wandered down a line of tents, he ran into Aldridge, Buxton and Fisher, all of the flagship New York. He fairly flung himself into their arms, and, overjoyed at seeing them for themselves not only, but because of the opportunity it gave him of getting the information he had obtained through to Admiral Sampson. After lunching with his friends as guests of the junior officers of the Third cavalry, Holton made his way to General Shatter's headquarters. The general was sleeping and could not be awakened, but Holton retailed his information concerning the spy to Lieutenant Miley, who received It with great politeness and apparent gratitude, but obviously with little faith either in the fealty or the efficacy of the Cubans—a state of mind that Holton found prevalent among most of the officers of the army. The army had been ordered to move to El Paso, or rather in the direction of El PUo, and there was much to engage Holton's Interest The trail leading into the jungle was congested with light artillery, ambu> lance wagons and marching men.

CANADA WINNING CHAMPIONSHIPS IN AGRICULTURE The Latest Is Winning Championship for Oats a Third Time. Recently was published the fact of remarkable winnings by Canadian farmers in several events during the past three or four years. The latest Is that of Messrs. J. C. Hill & Sons of Lloydmlnster, Saskatchewan, who won in a hard contest for the oat championship over Montana. At the National Corn Exposition at Dallas during February, Montana oats were awarded the championship for the United States. Waiting for the winner of thlB to be announced was a peck of oats belonging to the Canadian growers above mentioned, and alongside of these was a like quantity belonging to a Minnesota grower, who was barred from the regular competition because he was at one time the winner of the trophy—the prize. The three entries were side by side on the judge's bench. It would not be possible to bring together three more likely samples. The Montana and Saskatchewan entries were of equal weight—50 pounds to the bushel. The Minnesota sample was some three pounds lighter. The award was unanimous In favor of the Saskatchewan oats. A remarkable feature and one greatly to the credit of the Canadian product was that the oats, grown in 1913, were grown and shown by those who had competed during the past two years, winning otf each occasion. This, the third winning, gave them for the third time the world's championship and full possession of the splendid 11,500 silver trophy contributed by the state of Colorado. The oats which have thus given to Western Canada another splendid advertising card, were grown 300 miles north of the international boundary line, proving that In this latitude, all the smaller grains can be grown with greater perfection and with more abundant yield than further south. In all this country are to be found farmers who produce oats running from 42 to 48 pounds to the bushel, and with yields of from 60 to 100 bushels per acre. Wheat also does well, grades high, and yields from 30 to 40 bushels per acre. The same may be said of any portion of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, famed over the world not only as a country where championship grains are grown, but where cattle and horses are raised that also carry off championships and where wild grasses are abundant yielders, cultivated hay and alfalfa are grown, thus giving plenty of feed, and with a good climate, sufficient shelter and plenty of water, bring about results such as western Canada has been able to record. Thousands of farmers from the United States who have their homes in Canada bear ample testimony to the benefits they have derived from farming in western Canada.—Advertisement. "SICKED" WIND ON HIS RIVAL Fervent Supplication May Hsve Had No Effect, but It 8urely Came From the Heart. When the minstrel show reached town, in Alabama, there was barely time for the usual street parade. Awaiting the company at the depot was a large reception committee of darkies. Every dark in the crowd was anxious to get the job carrying one of the show banners, not alone for the sake of the free pass paid in exchange for the duty, but for the added glory of taking part in the procession. This was a small and struggling troupe, however, which boasted only one banner—a large ornate square of imitation red silk. A big negro grabbed it as the property man passed It off the car, and clung to it, fighting off all opposition. As he started proudly up the street, with the flagpole resting proudly in the pit of his stomach, a stiff breeze caught the banner and It bellied-like a sail, almost dragging the color-bearer Off his feet, and forcing him to tack and jibe to keep from being capsised bodily. Observing his plight, a disappointed candidate for the job raised JWS voles in invocation from the side* walk: "Sick him, wind;" be yetted. "Sick him!" New Reading.

PRESENT SUPPLY WILL BE EXHAUSTED BY NEXT CROP. Michigan Stands Second in Production and Government Appeals for an Increased Crop thhi Year. Washington.—Michigan will be called upon to produce from 8,000,000 to 10,000,000 more bushels of potatoes in 1914 than the yield of this Important food article during the last year. The United States department of agriculture has placed an embargo upon the Importation of potatoes from all ports, so during the next few months the new tariff bill cannot affect prices. This country imported about 17,- 000,000 bushels of potatoes during the past 12 months and with the close of the season, before the new crop comes into the market, the supply in this country will be practically exhausted, according to the figures of the government experts. So the crop and marketing officials in Washington are appealing to the potato states to come to the aid of the consuming public and plant a- big crop. As the second potato state in the union, a special appeal is being made to the state of Michigan in this matter. GOV. ANNOUNCES DELEGATES Ferris Names Michigan Men te Attend Conferences in Chicago.

TO RESIST BEAN BLIGHT M. A. C. Profeesor, Has Produced a Plant thst Thrives in Spite of Attacks ef Plsease. East Lansing, Mich.—Hope for the ultimate cure of the bean blight, which is costing Michigan farmers something like $2,000,000 annually, has been awakened by a new plant which has been developed by Prof. Spragg, blant breeder at M. A. C. This bean plant has shown ability to thrive despite the blight. Prof. Spragg has been attempting for a number of years to discover a plant capable or resisting the blight. Two years ago he found one which seemed to have that quality. This plant a year ago produced a yield averaging 35 bushels to the acre. So far the plant breeding department has not harvested enough seed for distribution, but within another year or two it is expected that farmers will be given an opportunity to try out the disease-resistant variety. The M. A. C. bean is not immune to the blight, but It has proved ability to yield well despite the attacks of the disease. Seven Killed In Philadelphia.

London—The dreaded Sunday passed without the slightest disturbance of order In Belfast or in Ulster, where the home rule policy has brought a condition of impending civil war. But the gravity of the crisis is fully Indicated by the fact the king cancelled his intended week-end visit to the Earl and Countess of Derby at Liverpool. The king and queen also cancelled their proposed visits to the races on Thursday and to the grand national raoe on Friday. The king has thrown his Influence earnestly on the side of conciliation, and seems to have made a personal appeal to the- officers who had resolved to resign rather than face the possibility of being called on to fight in Ulster, and it may be taken for granted the king is equally exerting his influence with his ministers in the same conciliatory direction. Proofs are not wanting of the desire on both sides that everything possible should be done to avoid any chance of conflicts. The nationalists have abandoned their proposed parade at Londonderry, and Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster unionist leader, continues to voice his desire to do his utmost to avoid provocative acts. The government announces that all Intended movements of troops in Ireland have now been completed, but this may be a decision necessitated by the threatened resignations of the officers.

Lieutenant Holtoiv Is detached from his -command In the navy at the outset of the Spanish-American war and assigned to important secret service duty. While dining- at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter In the act of robbing a beautiful Jroung lad*-. She thanks him for his serves and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at -A ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Senor La Tossa chides his daughter for her failure to secure Important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her, They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she la a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States. Holton Is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At aea he is overtaken by another warship which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton is ordered to return to Tampa. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports "to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Oarcla's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent to investigate Cuban plots against the. American troops and to learn t M plea* of the Spanish navy. He de- * H l » t«»sted Cuban leader ta the work ^ | € tenanting trouble among the Cubans 111 the iMorests of the Spaniards. Holton i s Sstnei by friends of the spy and later Is ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling Into a Spanish ambush. CHAPTER IX—Continued. Holton's present Idea was to wait for the army to move, purposing to follow their advance, and under cover of the battle to enter Santiago. But as day after day passed it seemed to him as though the order to advance would be given. He went up to the Cuban camp several times, and on one of these occasions had a long conference with Garcia, to whom still maintaining his role as an English newspaper correspondent, he related the details of his mis- Adventures at Aserraderos. Garcia's face clouded as Holton proceeded, and at the conclusion of his narrative he regarded the young officer sadly. "I do not doubt what you say, Mr. .Ogilve," he sighed gloomily, "but It is a hard blow. Jose Cesnola Is—was— one of our most trusted leaders. Now that I know, I can attribute many misfortunes to him, for ha was very much in our confidence. Very well! Friends, have deserted us, have traitorous before this—I shall In mind." Ml *nye in all elapsed before any Indication that the army was to move came to the surface. On the sixth day, June 30, however, orderly and aides began galloping down the roadway and the word came that the advance was to begin at four o'clock that afternoon. Holton wondered if the entire army was to move at once or whether each command was to take up the march at an appointed hour. At four promptly his question was answered when the entire force brok\ camp and crowded into the narrow jungle trail at practically the same minute. Holton followed along the trail with an infantry regiment The army was now marching into the wooded valley which bordered the high grass leading to and up San Juan hill, with the •mailer rise, Kettle Hill, on one side. As the day waned the men- who knew that on the morrow would come the supreme test, settled down for the night with grim facet. Midnight passed. Men stirred restlessly in their blankets. And in the rifle-pits that ribbed San Joan darkfaced men in blue drill uniforms called on the Virgin—and waited. Morning broke, eilent and fog laden. An orderly galloped up to General 8umner,%head*of the cavalry division, and presenting General Shatter's compliments, told him to move his division to the edge of the woods. "What shall 1 do when I get there r asked Sumner. "Await farther orders," was the rsply. , Holton strolled us to El Paso and found' the regulars and the Rough Riders resting on their arms. Grimes' men were training their guns on San Juan, and impatiently awaiting the word to open. flrsT It seemed ages to Holton before the order came, but come ft did at last The men of the,battcries sprang tensely into position, and a* a sharp order broke" the silence, a lean-faced^ man jerked mis arm sidewise. A line of thick, rod name leaped out of the long, thin musale, a bellying cloud o{ y*l» lowtshiwhite smofcs rolled aad tunv e r ~ W belche* forttTrls projectile, and soon all the guns were thundering with well-ordered precision. The men were all crouched now, waiting for orders. Over their heads the terrible hum of the Mauser balls was incessant Showers of leaves and branches fell among them. Every few seconds, it seemed, someone would tumble to the ground and lie motionless or else writhe in silent pain. Captain Mills was close by Holton's side when a ball struck that officer in the side of the head, back of the eyes, and passed clean through. Holton could even hear the sound the bullet made as It struck the skull, a dull impact, a thud like the clack ef two sticks. V, Holton bent over him and then left him for dead. Crouching close to the ground he made his way along the lines, determined to find a place where he could see something. He had viewed as much of this visitation of sightless death in these dense woods as, he could stand. Half-crawling, he suddenly came upon the Rough Riders in a fever of rage. Sumner had been ordered by Shafter to await orders here at the edge of the woods, but where were the orders? How long were they to be delayed 7 An hour from now there would be no Americans to receive orders. To Holton it appeared as though the army had been deserted, left to its fate when suddenly word came from Lieutenant Miley, representing General Shafter, who was 111, for Sumner's division to move at once on Kettle Hill, lying to the east of San Juan and somewhat nearer the trails from which the soldiers were to enter upon/ their attack. - Instantly from out of that fringe of woods and into the open, roofed with a torrent of lead, sprang the negro regulars and the Rough Riders, bawling their famous "yip yip" at the top of their lungs, while from a clump of trees near the San Juan ford Parker's little battery of gatling guns rattled incessantly. To the left, out of the woods, flowed regiment after regiment of white regulars, with that gallant soldier, Gen. Hamilton Hawkins, at their head, making for the blockhouse on San Juan hilL Holton, drawn irresistibly by the spirit of the conflict had seized a carbine from a dead soldier, and in his excitement he cut across from the. did, joined a heavy force of Spaniards lying there and turned their fire upon the hill they had so recently left. Thus a hall of lead flew upon and over the heights which the soldiers had taken, compelling the regulars, Rough Riders, and the white and negro cavalrymen, who had rushed over from Kettle Hill, to flatten themselves in the pits which had been prepared by the enemy. To Holton, as he lay huddled in a trench with a Rough Rider on one side of him and a dead Spaniard on the other, it seemed as though the immolation of the entire army must follow an attempt upon the entrenchments before the objective point of the campaign was attained, and yet such an attack was what he bad counted upon, as it would have enabled him, had he escaped the leaden storm, to make his way into Santiago. Cervera had threatened, in event of the success of the American land campaign, to turn his guns upon the city, and as long as his vessels were in their present position, they constituted a menace to the army that certainly presented prospects of the latter's ultimate success in rather a doubtful light And until the forts guarding the harbor were invested from the land side, a naval attack would prove too hasardous to undertake. Over toward El Caney the thunder of cannon and the racketing of small arms showed that Lawton and Chaffee were not having the easy time in taking the place that had been expected. Indeed Holton could see that it must be determined whether San Juan itself was to be held. All the men were now In the pits on the hill, discharging their weapons from cover, and keeping as close to mother earth as they could nestle. The situation, as it appeared to the navy man, was a curious one. The men had taken the hill, but what were they going to do with it? They could not go back and they could not go forward. Their position was surely an anomalous one. A fine lot of siege artillery, as Holton saw It, would solve the situation, and, indeed, as he thought this, a battery, red guidons flying and men cheering, came rolling and swaying up the hill. Quickly unlimbering, the men aimed hastily, and Bent a volley of projectiles Then came darkness. ^ For an hour Holton lay, wondering, doubting. How soon would it be before the army would move farther on toward Santiago? That it would be considerably delayed, Holton had reason to fear. He arose from his place of retreat with sudden resolution. Slowly he turned until he faced the lights of Santiago, and then with a half wave of his hand toward the brave men who had been his comrades, he stepped along the hilltop. Half-way down the hill he turned and made another gesture toward the American lines. It was a sort of farewell, a dramatic little act born of his state of mind. Being Interpreted, it might have read: "I, who am about to die, salute you." foot of Kettle Hill and found himself first on the edge of the small lake lying between Kettle Hill and San Juan bill, and then, as though the transition had been affected by magic, he was among Hawkins' infantrymen on the slope of San Juan—lying down and firing, then going forward in a crouching rush, just as he saw the men around him doing. Once, lying down, he looked behind and on either side and marveled that the long, thin blue line of charging men was not wiped out utterly. There seemed so few of them Here and there he saw advancing groups, and then again one man, yelling and firing all by himself. The bullets poured upon them pitilessly. Men were falling on all sides. As he veered along the slops of the hill a young regular officer passed him unconcernedly snapping pictures of the charge and yelling for his men to come on. He smiled at Holton, and Holton smiled back. Then with a yell the onrushing soldiers came to their first rifle-pit A few'dead 8panish soldiers lay in it but otherwise it was unoccupied. Into the long trench poured the men, firing a few volleys at the trenches above and then leaping out and piling on up the hill. Half-way up Holton saw a man with the shoulder-straps of a colonel, a nae*pp*armg fellow* with side whiskers. Hehad tamed to speak to Shelter's aids, Lieutenant Miley, who had just come up with the men of the Third cavalry. "How are you, colonel r smiled Miley. "How—H Cotonel Hamilton said no mora, for a bullet entered his open mouth and bads him kold his peace for evermore. And now the men began pouring up to the top of the hill, lying behind the crest and discharging bullets at the Spaniards who wort flsetng down the other side, staking helter^keher for their eniTSniliiiissei towsr* Santiago, sad not all He Cut Across From the Foot of Kettle Hlft flying into Santiago. But the huge yeHow clouds had no sooner arisen and the reports had not died away, than it seemed as if the fire of the entire Spanish force was concentrated on that row of guns on the hilltop. Shells screamed, bullets whined, artillerymen fell one after the other. Thus many minutes did not elapse before the gunners wont rattling away doVn the hill much faster than they had come up. The effect of this oa the minds of the men, hanging on the hW as though by their tooth, was not at all reassuring. Late in the afternoon Lawton and Chaffee stormed through from 10 Caney, where they sad their men had fought a magnificent battle, and printing reinforcements of four odd thousand, materially Increased the hopefulness Of the situation. At tno same time Gen. Jos Wheeler and bis staff came out to the trenches with determination not to yield aa lash of tks posftfto* pasted. Twttight fell aad alienee settled over the hilL CHAPTER X. Getting Into Santiago. The night was black, the Bkles had clouded over, and it was raining. Halfway down the slope of the hill Holton stumbled over something. He stopped and looked down and saw a group of four regulars contorted in death. _ Holton bowed his head in silent salute and passed on. The glory of war, he felt, must come after the war ia over. He had felt none of it all through the battle. The least offensive word be could apply to this day's business was that it had been sordid—a glut of blood. The wound in his head was hurting, and for the first time thoughts of blood poisoning assailed him. He had not had it dressed in two days. Still it was slight, and it might as well be poisoning as something else. For he had abandoned any hope of escaping his present venture with his life. All he asked, all he prayed was that he might be spared until he had accomplished something. Over his arm he carried a uniform and hat which he had taken from a dead Spanish soldier, and now sitting on the ground he divested himself of his clothing and put on that of the Spaniard. The fit was fairly good, and Holton decided that with his unkempt black hair, his beard which had not seen a rasor for several days, and his sunbrowned face he might very readily pass for a Spanish regular, at night at least Retaining his carbine and his web bullet-belt, he proceeded on his way, finally turning at right angles and making straight toward the hill* that flanked the city on the left He was now" at the first line ef entrenchments. They were well made and filled with men, most of them, apparently, sleeping. He saw some soldiers at work with spades, and walking up to one man who did not appew to be manifesting any great enthusiasm in his task, Holton seised the spade and throwing it over his shoulder, handed the man his carbine in ex change. He had decided it was time to rid himself of his gun. He did not expect to miss it as he still had his revolver and was very expert In its use. A number of soldiers armed wltl spade and pick-axes were moving about and for the first time Holtot began to see a clear way of gettlm Into the city. In fact, he joined « gang returning In that direction am walked along with them, imitating a* closely as possible their slouch!nt gait and their manner of carrying thelj implements. One of them finally addressed hint "Well, brother," he said, "the Amer leans will receive tomorrow as much as they expect" "They have fought well," muttered Holton, assuming a sort of husklnesf to hide any defects In accent "Like devils," wss the reply. "Yes, like devils," added another. "Where are you going V Holton asked. "To the barracks," said some one. "And I," rejoined Holton with a trace of pride, "am going into the city to present a letter from my colonel to 8enor La Tossa, who has, I have heard, s very handsome estate, near Cuabitas." "Ah, La Tossa!" said his companion. "Yes, do yoa know where he lives?" "Over that way," replied the man with s sweep of bis arm to the left "You must take the Santa Ines road, going northeast Inquire than of others you msy meet" "Well I shall first go to the city tor a drop of aguardiente, and then—" Holton shrugged, "pleasure first and duty afterward," The soldiers turned off into the out* skirts of the town. The rain was pattering dismally. It beat into Holton's face and ran in rivulets down the road. The lights ahead showed with a watery blur; it was in all s night that man or beast might wish himself indoors. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Detit Worry.

"BOUND FOR WESTERN CANADA" A PRAIRIE SCHOONER SLOGAN, THAT STARTED -FROM NEBRASKA. Four horses abreast attached to a red painted prairie schooner, with windows and a protruding stovepipe, with the words, "Bound for Canada," on the schooner's side, was the object of considerable interest as It passed on the way northward from Nebraska a short time ago through the towns in Nebraska, South and North Dakota. After some weeks of strenuous traveling in this way, Mr. J. F. Jensen made the overland trip from Jameson, Nebraska, and with his little family made the regular customs entry at North Portal, in the province of Saskatchewan. Their destination was Willow Bunch, a district that Mr. Jensen had selected as one in which it was possible for him to work out his fortune. He located on a good half sec* tlon of land, and intended putting on it some cattle that would fatten on the wild prairie grass that grows so luxuriously in that district. In addition to this his purpose was to cultivate a portion of it and raise wheat, oats, barley or flax. In short a life devoted to mixed farming was what he had in view and it is easy to understand that he will make a success of it and in a year or so will attach some more land holdings. Although his beginning may be small, it may safely be said that Mr. Jensen, like thousands of others who have begun life in western Canada on no more and with probably much less, will prosper. He will not be far from a line of railway. Schools will be close at hand and other social conditions so necessary in a new country are avail* able.—Advertisement. Mesothorium and Radium. Mesothorium differs from radium only in price and in a more rapid loss of power. Whereas it has been calculated that it would need 1,800 years before the energy of a gramme of radium is reduced by one-half, mesothorium retains its full energy only for the first few years. After this the force is gradually dissipated, until after 20 years only about onehalf of its original energy remains. Its great advantage over radium is Its comparative cheapness, although even for mesothorium the enormous sum of $50,000 per gramme is being asked.

"One of the most annoying and troublesome things to be met each winter in farm life, is the question of frozen water pipes," writes a contributor to the Country Gentleman. "Each winter for several years I was given all kinds of trouble and extra work in this way as soon as the temperature dropped to the freezing point* or lower. After much experimenting [ finally hit upon the easiest, most inexpensive and surest way to keep the frost off the pipes. Melt equal quantities of vaseline and parafin wax together and, after wiping th« pipes perfectly dry, apply with an old brush a thick coat of this mixture while it is hot. An oil lump or torch will easily k-ep it in a. liquid ctatc. Yon will find that no matter how cold the weather may net the frost cafinot penetrate this coat of grease.

W t i i « i n .\« wnyapwr Lniua.j '»»«»»»»»•» AMERICAN BANKER HAS SOMETHING TO LEARN Berlin, Germany.—"Some of us rubes are laughing a little at the bankers*' said a successful farmer to ua before we left the states. "We have actually farmed successfully for y0ars, have' studied farming in agricultural colleges. We think we know our business fairly well. It's certainly funny to read speeches by bankers telling us how to farm. I have come to the conclusion that the bankers know BO little about farm loans that they would do better to study and discuss their own business than to try to teach v us ours." And we have concluded that there is some force In what the farmer says. .The American Bankers' association and thirty state bank associations are actively promoting agricultural advancement The work undertaken by them includes soil surveys, experiments with fertilizers, hiring experts to make practical demonstration upon the farm, education in road matten, and so on indefinitely. The bankera are duplicating what the federal agricultural department Is doing, what every agricultural college is doing, and what every farmer's institute la doing. They are going into the field of production which is important but which after all is one In which the farmer remarked, "one is led to think that the bankers of the country have unanimously concluded that thay know their own business so thoroughly that their elevating educational instincts can get opportunity for expression only by doing missionary work among us lowly farmers and elevating this ignorant class to their own high plane of intelligence." Worst Banking for Wtrmen. We have been going through Europe accompanied by agricultural experts. We have talked with leaders in agriculture in several countries. We have read bulletins and books, galore on agricultural methods abroad. We consulted government specialists. We have seen and heard and studied about all the most scientific up-todate farming methods. But neither the experts with us nor we ourselves have been able to recall a single idea on agricultural production that is not being more or less widely worked out in America by these lowly farmers whom the bankers are so benevolently and condescendingly instructing. On the other hand so far as we can discover the United States is the only country in the civilised world where banking methods have not been in any degree adjusted to the needs of tike farmer. Sometimes over here in Europe the joint stock bank does the work. More often it Is a co-operative, credit bank that loans to farmers. But some bank stands ready to meet the. ^farmers' needs everywhere, except in* the United States. In America, as nowhere else, the banker takes the terms calculated to accommodate the city merchant and financiers and inflicts them upon the protesting farmer. Sixty and ninety day loans are Just what are needed in the •city, but they are of no possible use to the farmer. A merchant or commission mas gets his returns promptly and can'meet ninety day paper at maturity. But the fanner cannot buy calves or pigs and fatten them, mar ket them, and get returns short of a much longer period. The rural borrower who invests the borrowed -money in seeds or fertilisers cannot *nope to realise upon his investment short Of six or eight months. It Is and be his financial hacker. -not to much a question of Interest n* ot terms and methods. In many loealitWe intereU rates are fair. In swine places Interest on farm loans Is too high. But It is true everywhere la America that the hankers stubbornly refuse to the farmer the sort of loans which he needs.' And the hanker who sits behind the cashier's <fosk writing speeches about better turning d**ps his facile pea long • enough to crowd down the throat of some farmer patron who should have %n sight months loan, a three months San, which Is as apt to cripple as aj help him. ' Bow the man on the farm can borrow money advantageously and sco- BOtnically is an important question. It may not be so important as good aasxtwrting^but it is important enough. Ws-'lsan^^houhi be on terms which his occupation and his financial If he cannot got those tpsvjs from his banker he will htm to Beek loans elsewhere, or will he meet the needs of the farmer. There is little doubt that the banker could give' longer time on safe personal paper. There Is little doubt that he could arrange for long time real estate mortgages. When a farmer borrows to buy a farm and gives a mortgage for the loan there is no reason why It should not be a long time amortization mortgage permitting repayment In annual or semi-annual payments extending over ten, twelve or twenty years. Gilt Edge Security. A good first mortgage on real estate running for a considerable period of time is recognized the world over as a gilt edged loan. Financiers are accustomed to advise it as the safest investment for trustees, widows and others who are not able to pass upon the character of miscellaneous investments. The president of one of the great life insurance companies makes the statement that his company in its history of forty-six years has loaned $lS3,8ft8,&49.44 to TS.10J farmers, secured by mortgage on 11,462,86$ acres, the average loan being $1,782. The net lose after paying all costs, fees, assessments and penalty interest rates was fourteen-hundredth* of one per oent This is substantially the history of all properly organised farm land mortgage business. Some $600,- 000,000 in farm mortgages are carried by our life insurance companies—an amount equal to 35 per cent, of the total farm mortgages shown by the census. If a farm loan for three years is a good loan, one for ten or fifteen or twenty years is good, too, but no American bank makes these long loans. Why? We have never been able to get any adequate answer to this question. The general response is an unsatisfactory one, "It isn't good banking to make such long farm loans," which Is another way of saying what we have said before, that the city banker will not meet the needs of the farmer borrower. There seems to be therefore no reaeon why this fact that a long time farm loan is a gilt edged loan should not be taken into account in fixing the Interest. It is not possible that the Interest on these loans should be near (he rate which Is received upon bonds, either municipal or Industrial. The city banker will investigate fully the integrity and earning capacity of every factory that wants a loan. Is there any reason why the American banker should not put himself in a position to investigate the honesty and earning capacity of the farmer who needs money, thus permitting him to capitalise his character as do bankers abroad? On the whole after looking over the situation at home and abroad it is not surprising that the farmer sometimes suggests that bankers might well study their own activities rather than to be butting in upon the farmer's business. Over here in Germany the bankers were formerly as slow as those of America are now to meet this demand for rural credit So cooperative credit came and It came to stay. It does the work and it does it well. The question that is upJn America is simply a question as to whether or not the American banker is going to insist that the American farmer solve his own difficulties or whether be, the banker is going to solve' It for him Morloaoe Leone in Germany, A co-operative loan on long mortgages is no new experiment One hundred and forty years ago the were organised in Prus- A war Uke period culminating in the Seven Tears' War had reduced the greater part of Prussia to a pitiable state of doyastaUon, The owners of large estates, which had borne the brunt of the war charges were poverty stricken. Hence in 17W Frederick II issued a royal decree en-, abilng these owners of large landed estates to secure capital necessary to revive their agricultural interests by joining together in securing a co-operative loan. While at met these loans were granted to only the owners of the largo estate this system was afterwards adapted so that the, smaller land owner could profit by I t The owner who wishes to secure a loan gives a mortgage to the association. He fr,r«no£*dr to pay interest at the rttVfiny try to get them elsewhere. tats of from three sad a half Tfeo fueetion is will the banker fosse | to four par sent and nay borrow op to two-thirds of the value of his farm. This valuation Is arrived at by capitalizing the income which he can get off from it. It is characteristic of European finance that the farm values are fixed largely by consideration of the actual earning capacity of each farm. Apparently the price which a neighboring farm may bring has little to do with the value which is placed upon any particular farm. The theory is and It seems to be sound, that the value of the farm is not so much where it lies as it is what will it earn. When the association has a group of those mortgages It pledges them by a trust deed, and issues a series of bonds secured by the pledge ot the mortgages. These bonds are then sold and usually bear an interest of from three to three and one-half per cent. The association not only pledges the association Itself so that in a sense every member of the association is back of the bonds. These bonds have alwayB brought a good price even in the most difficult times financially. The mortgage given by the land owner is not due at the end of a certain number of years, at which time the entire principal must be paid as are American farm mortgages. Instead they run for from twenty to sixty years with an agreement incorporated into the mortgage that each year the farmer shall pay a certain sum of money which shall Include interest and a small installment upon the principal. In this way the mortgagor gradually pays off his mortgage paying little more than the amount which would, in America be required as Interest alone. The chief advantage to the farmer is in this fact that he is allowed to pay off the loan by making small annual or semi-annual payments. Other, advantages are that he will never have to renew the mortgage which will continue to run until the payments have cleared the farm of the debt; he will never be compelled to pay any renewal commission, and will never have to go to the expense of bringing down his title or having it examined every two years, as is done under our American system. Retffeoon and 8ohuJz*-DeJltzsch. The Reiffeson and Schulze-Delitzsch banks are smaller community institutions, organized upon the co-operative 'plan, and are not operated for profit to the investor. Reiffeson banks operate more particularly in the country while the Schulze-Delitzsch banks operate largely in urban communities. The Reiffeson Is the most purely cooperative. While the Reiffeson banks loan money for a long period of time they do not generally loan for so long a period of time as do the Landschaften. They receive deposits from their members, paying them interest as do savings banks. The one at Cassel, Germany, which can be taken as a fair representative of Its type charges 6½ per cent, on short time loans. They pay 4% per cent, on deposits, which are left with them for an agreed long period of time, and 4 per cent, on deposits left for a shorter time. It is found, however, that the rate of interest varies in different places. Since these banks must meet the competition of the joint stock and savings banks In each community. They generally are able to compete successfully for the reason their expenses are very light their officers usually serving without salary and since they do not wish to make any large profits to pay off any investors as do the other banks. Go 8fow. The best rural credit system in the world, if actually in operation would not prove a cure-all for our present rural ailments. It would not get you anywhere. The farmer who has negotiated a loan upon the most favorable terms has made no actual advance. He. is just whereflne was before. If I am running a le/ing business the more money I borrow the worse off I am. If I am not producing a good product which I can market readily and profitably, the less I put into my business the better. Rural credit without good farming and good marketing is a delusion and a snare. Bssfly obtained loans are no substitutes for brains and business sense and a marketing system. Rural credit can do just one thing. It can enable a man to get possession of a farm and the equipment with which to farm. If the farming business into which the loan launches him Is not a paying business the loan has simply injured him by getting him into a losing venture. I said a Joan win enable him to get possession of a farm and equipment This possession is temporary and will be of.no permanent advantage unless he makes the land and equipment his own by repaying the loan and of his honest and hard won earning. After all it is rural earnings which spell success and good marketing conditions whether co-operative or otherwise are * n absolute SHORTEST WAY HOME By KATHERINE HQP80N. Women Make Good, .

It's a good chance—better than we can offer you here, perhaps for years." Mr. Denham, managing editor of the Recorder, shook hands with Dick Stewart cordially. The younger man, after thanking him, passed out of the office with a little glow of pride and happiness. "Old Denham's a mighty good sort and he's right I'm a lucky chap to get the place," he mused as 'he left the private office. The outer office, which had been well occupied when Stewart passed for his interview with Mr. Denham, was now practically deserted. The men had gone to fill their assignments—except Fred Davis. He was clicking away at his typewriter. "Good luck to you," he said, looking up with his keen, peculiar smile. Stewart left the office to fill his last assignment before taking his new position. He was sebt to cover the suburban territory of Rockbridge, and departed with more than usual alacrity. Margaret Wheaton's path lay in the same direction today. When she came six months ago to fill the position of society reporter for the office, he had fallen in love with her big brown eyes, her kindliness, her spontaneous gayety, and the general deamess of her. But he recognized the fact that Fred Davis also had fallen victim to her charms. "No wonder he congratulated me so heartily on my new job; for it leaves the way clear for him," SUwart thought with a cynicism foreign to him. "Well, at last I have a man-slse job, and I am justified in speaking to Margaret." He quickened his steps toward the interurban station, and was so occupied that he failed to notice a tall, slender, keen-eyed man dodge into the waiting room, anti then watch to see which car he—Stewart—entered before getting on himself and entering the smoker. Nor did he see him repeat the same watchful performance before they both alighted at Rockbridge. Stewart hastily covered his own territory, then hastened to the church where the Patton-Whltney wedding had just taken place, the reporting of which was Margaret's object In coming to Rockbridge. She had come down on an earlier car, and Stewart had timed himself so that he might arrive on the scene when she was finished with her work. Then he could return to town with her. He found reporters from other papers there and stood a few moments in the fragrant flower decorated church In which strains of the wedding music seemed still to linger. Margaret was not there and he made inquiries. Some one told him she had just gone; but whether to the station or to the Whitney home where the reception was to be, he couldn't say., Stewart looked at his watch. "There won't be another car for three-quarters of an hour yet I guess she's gone to the house." Accordingly he made his way to the place in question. It was one of the largest, most pretentious homes in the suburb. Many persons in wedding attire were streaming to the reception when he reached the house, and he made his way through the guests and onlookers with which the walk was lined. From one of the caretakers he learned that Margaret had been there. By announcing himself as a representative of the Recorder he gained entrance. Everybody . except the girl he was looking for seemed to be there, and the most careful search failed to reveal her. "Say, how many people does your paper send out to write up these so> cial affairs?4 asked one of the guests whom he .knew. "One—usually. Whyr "Well, you're the third this afternoon who has presented himself in that capacity. I believe the first one was a her/' laughed the man. "Miss Wheaton, of course, our ragular society reporter. But I don't know any other from our office who would bo hero." "Oh, ha was a tall, slim chap, with shifty dark eyes." "The description fits Davis, but he was* sitting in the office when X left" Stewart rapidly retraced his steps to the station, and found to his chagrin that la his search he had not allowed himself enough margin to catch the next car, and missed it by about three minutes. He oould see It disappearing in the distance. "Yes, Miss Wheaton got on the drawled the station agent s* to the question. "Was any one with h e r n T e s , that tall chap who lbs sporting news." dow. eluded grimly* "Bat how It the world did he get here?" Then sober reason told him that the only way was on the same car as himself. Cut across back way and got on the smoker." He sat down and wrote out in full the notes of the legal transfers he was sent to cover. "I can slap them off on the typewriter when I get back," he told himself. His sense of resentment was growing. He had-received the letters from New York that morning giving final acceptance of his application for a position, had strongly advised him to take morning train. "They don't leave you much to pack your trunk and make farewell calls on these New York jobs. There are too many others waiting around to snap up the place," the managing editor had said. Stewart had decided to take his advice^ till planning how he might have a chance to talk with Margaret She knew he had applied for the position, but as she was away all morning on an assignment, she didn't know of his acceptance. "Every minute is precious, "for I have a thousand things to do," fumed the young fellow, as he paced restlessly up and down the platform. "It was a low trick of Davis to beat me to it here, when he knew I was going away so soon." At last the next car came and bore him back to town. When he reached the office it was just as he expected. Margaret had gone home to dinner.' He called up her boarding place. She was there, but when he asked to come down that evening she replied that she was going to report another wedding which was going to occur in that vicinity that evening. "But you may come and go with me if you like. It won't take me long." When he told her of departure next day, her invitation: more insistent With good-by handshake* to members of the staff, Stewart left the office. On the way to hiB room he stopped and got lunch at a restaurant, then he went off home and began hastily to pack his trunk. As he-worked he glanced around the bare little room where he. had passed many lonely, homesick, discouraging moments. "I've hated the place, but it seems quite like home when I go to leave it" He thought of his old, pleasant home In the little town of Carbon which he had left to take hjs first newspaper position here, and his sense of homesickness increased. "It will all be to do over again when I reach New York, only it will be much harder to gain a foothold there." He found Margaret waiting for him when he reached her boarding place. She had on her wraps, and her brown eyes were shining under the smart little toque. On the way he told her more about his new position, and his hopes and plans for making good. She was all kindness and attention, yet, withal, he had the sensation that she was trying to steer the conversation away from personalities. It seemed to tftm that she dragged out the work ily long at the house; and were at last free to go, he took ters into his own hands, and Insisted that the longest way round was the shortest way home. "Has Davis asked you to marry himT he asked. At first she looked offended, then she said archly, "What if he has?" "I want to know if you accepted him." v "I probably shouldn't be walking here with you If I had," she laughed. "What difference does it make?" "Merely, that I'm going to ask yon the same thing." And. he poured out the love and longing of the last months. "Instead of the waste of boarding houses It would mean home—and that's as near heaven as we ever ant on this earth, I reckon," he ended hum* kily. For a few moments there was silence, add they walked on-beneath the trees which rustled their dry leaves in the soft autumn night He, In alternate hope and despair; she, with her eyes turned away, gased up at the hasy harvest moon. But by the light of it, when her glance met his, he could see they were full of "X, too, am tired of reflected joy," she answered slowly, nodding toward her reporter's note-book ho was. ear* rylng.

Yawning is said to have an exceedingly healthful function besides having s salutory effect in complaints of the pharnyx and the eustachian tubes. According to investigations yawning is the most natural form of respiratory muscles of the neck and chest It is recommended that every person should have a good yawn with the stretching of the limbs morning and evening for the purpose of ventilating the lungs and tonlfying the respiratory muscles. An eminent authority asserts that this form of gymnastics has a remarkable effect in relieving throat and ear troubles, and says that patients suffering from disorders of the throat lave esylved great benefit from it. j|$jLiail he makes his patients yawn, ay smafestion or imitation, or by a series of deep breaths with the lips partly closed. The yawning is repeated six or seven times, and should be followed by swallowing. By this process the air and mucus in the eustachian tubes are aspirated. PIMPLES ON FACE AND ARMS 411 Howard S t , Dayton, Ohio.— "About a year ago my face, neck, arms and back were beginning to become afflicted with pimples and blackheads. My pimples would get very large and appear to come to a head. If I tried to open them the pain would be terrible, but nothing could be taken from them.

The Noisy Noyes Again. Exra Pound, the Philadelphia poet whose work has thrilled London, said the other day of Alfred Noyes, his British rival: "Noyes declares that my torch of diluted Browninglsm, after a feeble splutter, has gone out. Now, in revenge, let me tell you a story about Noyes and Swinburne. "Some time after Rossettl's death Noyes wrote a long memorial poem. He was so proud of this poem that he waylaid Swinburne one morning on Putney common and insisted on reading it to him. "Swinburne tired to escape, but Noyes bawled the whole 30 stanzas into his poor deaf ear. Then, at the end, he said, with a complacent smile: " There, sir, is my poem on Rossettl. What do you think of it?' " 'It would be better/ Swinburne answered, i f foii had died and Rossettt had written the poem.'" Like and Like. William Dean Howells said the other day of a certain type of "best seller" hovel: "The men who write these books are intellectually debased, and the public they~wrlte for is intellectually debased also. The thing reminds me of an anecdote. "'What are you doing, dear?' a mother said to her little four-year-old daughter. " tm writing a letter to Alice/ the youngster replied.

Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, April 2, 1914 No. 1' To The Taxpayers Of Livingston County At the election to be held April (J, 1914 th»jre will be a proposition oome before the taxpayers to vote upon to raise money bo build an addition to the County Infirmary. There eeems to be a feeling among a great many taxpayers that this is an unnecessary expense and that this improvement is being made for the benefit of the keeper and bis family. While it is true that the new addition, if built, would be occupied by the keeper's family aud the hired help, yet by so doing, they will vacate some of the best rooms in the house to make room for the women inmates. As the building now stands there is only OLC vaeaut room in the ladie*s ward. If it should happ3n that two women should be sent there at the present time it would be impossible to take care of them and this is liable to happen at any time. Tne oew part for whica we %re asking far three thousand dol 1 ars($3,000.- 00)to build will consist of a kitchen, pantry, four bed rooms, and a dining room in the base men ti for the inmates. If the taiptgpefft see fit to vote to raise the money to make this improvement on the County Infirmary it will be built on the same lines as the old building and not an elaborate affair as some people seem to think. This building-proposition is not an idea that originated with the present Board of Superintendents of the Poor but came thru an order from the State Board of Corrections and Charities to make such improvements as would remove t h e congested c o n d i t i o n of the home aud make it more Binitary. If something - is not done the State will take, the matter in hand and if they do it will cost us much more than if we take care of it ourselves. The following table will show what it will cost each township in the county according to the assessed valuation. Valuable Coin Collection L. E. Richards of this town has in his possession one of the finest private collections of coins in the state of Michigan, the oldest dating back as far as 500 B. C. There are among them the penny, (denarius) of Bible times so called because in ancieat times it consisted, denis assibus, (of ten a3ses.) ft was a Roman silver coin equal to about 7| d. of our money. A coin used in the Spain conquered by Julius Caesar is also one which young Latin students would be interested in. There are coins of silver and copper belonging to the reigns of old Roman kin^s dating from 500 B. C. dowp to 1646'A. D. The collection has been sent to several exhibitions and has always merited much praise. The coins are mounted between glass in a unique 'manner so that both faces may be readily studied. An accurate description of each denomination is written below each piece of mooeji. Mr. Richards has been offered a large sum of money to part with the collection, hut is wise in still retaining them in his possession. wsihtps Assessed Valuation Township Tickets The Democrats met last Saturday Afternoon and with a big torn out nominated the following ticket; Supervisor, James M.

He asks it to market his eggs and his butter. It distils alcohol out of his potatoes and makes wine for him out of his fruit. Everywhere in Germany you will find cooperative elevators and warehouses for storing grain, co-operative societies for improving the breed of live stock, co-operative banks for furnishing loans to members, co-operative insurance companies for insuring against every imaginable damage. Cooperative societies are formed to meet the needs of agriculture at every turn —producing the raw material, converting the raw material into salable form, and placing the finished product upon the market "Agricultural, co-operative societies have become so numerous in Germany as almost to jostle one another. There are at the present time more than 26,- 000 of them." These are the words of Henry Wolff, the great authority upon agricultural co-operation, and we have found his statement true. These 26,- 000 societies have nearly two and a half million members. Over half of these societies are credit associations, •which have a working capital of over $400,000,000. Moreover, the number of societies and the number of mem* tors are constantly Increasing. How German Farmer Co-operates. Everything the German farmer does he does co-operatively. If he wishes to purchase a farm he gets a 50 or 60 year loan from a Landschaften bank. "When he finds it necessary to buy implements or live stock, or seeds, he uses money borrowed from a co-operative credit society, making short time loans. He gets MB equipment of a cooperative store which furnishes him a guaranteed article at the lowest possible price. For when co-operation sells to the farmer, everything from garden seeds to threshing machines is guaranteed. If he wishes to insure his property he goes to a co-operative insurance company, which will insure Bis crops against loss by hall or wind; another cooperative insurance agency Insures his house against fire, while another insures his live stock against aicknesB, accident, or legal destruction, following the discovery of tuberculosis or other contagious disease. His stock cattle come to him from a co-operative breeding farm. From cooperative associations he gets his sci- -entifle instructions at to the care of rfcls cattle, as to the best feeds, as to the cure of animal diseases, as to the valuation of crops, as to fertilizers. His milk and cream he takes to a cooperative creamery, from which it is •old cooperatively. His very hens lay co-operative eggs which within an hoar after they are laid may bear the •tamp of a cooperative organization. Water 8upply Companies. One form in which cooperation has t evinced its efficiency in Germany 1B \ a rather unique one, and is one which tat least in some parts of the United ftates is worthy of careful study by American farmers. Scattered through- * o«t Germany there are many cooperative societies for supplying water to its members. There are in the province of Hanover alone, for example, 35 pack companies. Whether the community has been large or small, these smppty companies have generally sue- The advantages of co-operation in attfj.irtTftt; the problem of water supply have been thus summarised: "By cooperation a sufficient sum of money can be raised to enable a source of water to be tapped, unquestionable as to purity, softness and fluality; 2, Cooperation ensures extreme economy in maintenance and management; 3. Cooperation enables the smallest community to provide itself with a really good water supply." It is not impossible that there Is in this German experience a suggestion for the irrigation companies in western America, where mismanagement and graft seem to have prevailed. Certainly a truly co-operative association ganized upon the one man one vote plan, freed from all motives of excessive or speculative profits, and managed with the efficiency that Is traditional in cooperative concerns could never have made shipwreck of so many fair prospects as have some of the irrigation companies in the western states. Plowing by Steam. The owners of the big wheat farms in the northwestern parts of the United States might sit up and take notice of some of the cooperative power plow companies which are, operating in Germany. At present there are 46 -such societies. The entire power equipment is owned by the society, and its members, even though they occupy comparatively small farms, are by this means enabled to have the benefit of the Improved and cheaper work of the power plow. Experience here shows that the power plowing plant, consisting of a set of plowsr tackle and steam or electric power, cannot be maintained economically unless it4 has something like 2,000 acres upon which to operate. The Concerns are most carefully managed. A good machinist Is always in charge of the outfit In addition to his salary he is allowed a commission upon every acre plowed. He has entire charge of the operations and requires all members to remove all obstructions before work is undertaken. The rates are carefully graded according to the soil, the depth and the accessibility. In some cases, also, a less charge is made for plowing during the slack periods, the price being raised as the demand for services of the equipment increases. Cooperative Societies Federated. The cooperative spirit has not ceased when it has led the farmer to cooperate with his neighbors to form a local co-operative concern. The German genius for organization has led to a most elaborate system of coordination between the various local cooperative associations. For example, all cooperative dairies within a province will be united together In a central association which unifies and harmonizes the work of all the local organisations. These central provincial societies are in turn in an empirewide federation with headquarters at Berlin. Ton will therefore in that city find several central concerns, each of which Is allied with hundreds of local societies. This centralization scheme has many advantages. It provides for supervision, Inspection, and audit which leads to good accounting systems and good business methods. The central office serves as a bureau of information and advice. In case of marketing the central society, by reason of Its size and financial resources, gets into markets which would be altogether inaccessible to the little local concern. Without centralisation German cooperation would be much less effective than It la Increased Quantity. Here in Germany, as elsewhere, cooperation has not only enabled the farmer to make the most out of what he produces, but has increased the quantity and improved the quality of the product itself. This haa been true in every line where cooperative organizations have become active. The results in dairying are fairly representative. In Bradenburg tests were made in 1908 which covered the production of over 1,000 cows. The average yield of milk per cow was found to be 2,661 kilograms, producing 95 kilograms of butter, and netting a profit of 108.06 marks per cow. In 1910 the average yield had increased to 2,885 kilograms of milk, producing 101 kilograms of butter, and netting 132.95 marks profit for each cow, an Increase of 24.59 marks per cow, a matter of (5,000 on the 1,000 cows. German Cooperation Democratic. German cooperation 1B, to paraphrase the recognized formula for democracy "of the members, by the members, and for the members." Nobody thinks of a German co-operative society as organized for the purpose of declaring dividends. The utmost returns that those who hold shares receive is a five or six per cent, profit. If a creamery, for example, finds itself with undivided profits it does not distribute them to the members in proportion to the shares they hold, but to the members who as patrons bring in the milk and cream, and they go to them in proportion to the quantity and quality furnished by each. These profits constitute as it were an additional price, which the patrons receive for their product. All, too, are managed upon the "one man one vote" plan. The member who holds only one share and brings in the milk of only one cow has the same voting power as the farmer with a thousand shares and a thousand cows. Co-operation is most emphatically democratic. German co-operators themselves ascribe the success of their societies largely to good quality and good business methods. The societies pride themselves upon the fact that their output is better than that of privately owned plants. Their goods are in demand, they say, not because they are cooperative goods, but because they are good goods. The societies almost without exception have required that managers shall be skilled men with both experience and training. These positions pay good salaries, and, candidates spend time and money quail" fying themselves to hold them. As a result these concerns are most businesslike in every particular. The plants are efficient, the employers competent, and most excellent accounting systems are in vogue. Cooperative Credit. It Is noticeable that in Germany there are more cooperative credit societies than marketing societies. Moreover, the average German enthusiast will tell you that co-operation naturally begins with co-operative credit, rather than with cooperative marketing. It does not necessarily follow, however, that in America cooperative German Cooperative Elevator. credit associations should precede cooperative marketing. -Conditions in Germany differ greatly from those in the United States. In the first place, the privately owned banking houses of Germany did not serve the German farmer even as adequately as the American banker is now serving the American fanner. In the second place, marketing In Germany presents practically none of the difficulties encountered in America. Germany has by high tariffs forced the consumer to depend upon domestic production. The local demand for almost every farm product exceeds the supply. As a result there are two buyers demanding butter, for example, when only enough butter for one is available. There are no long hauls, as in America, no long distance commission business. The producer more nearly meets the consumer face to face and gets his price. German marketing as compared to American is direct, simple, and tree trem complexities. We must take the counsel of the German who ranks oo-operetive credit ae more important than, cooperative marketing with caution, since he has dealt with reversed conditions. We are firmly convinced, after ft careful survey, that at least in America, the more prosperous scheme of cooperative marketing is more important than cooperative credit ••'.,•• Boston's Celebration. One hundred years ago March 18 Boston celebrated the thirty-eighth anniversary of the evacuation of the city by the British troops under General Wilkinson during the Revolution. The celebration naturally was accompanied by a great display of enthusiasm, for the second war with Great Britain was then in progress and the spirit of patriotism was running high. Flags were displayed la profusion by the citizens and salutes were fired by the ships of war in the harbor. A large military and civic parade was the spectacular feature of the day. In the evening there were fireworks and illuminations and a public banquet at which patriotic addresses were delivered by officials of the state and city and officers of the army and navy. DRY SCALE COVERED HEAD 2760 Tamm Ave., St Louis, Mo.— "My little daughter's head began with a dry harsh scale covering it. .First it got a white scale over the top and then It got a dirty brown scab with pus under it. Her hair came out in less than, a week and her head Itched and bled. She had no rest. I had her wear a scarf all the time, it looked so badly. She was so sore and had such big brown scabs on her head that the teacher would not let her attend school. "We took and had her treated for three months with no relief. She kept getting worse until I tried Cutlcura Soap and Ointment. I used the Cutlcura Soap every third day and the Cuticura Ointment at night. In three weeks her head was well of sores. Two cakes of Cutlcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment completely cured her." (Signed) Mrs. Walter Rogers, Nov. 28, 1912. Cuticura Soap and Ointment sold throughout the world.

What Is said to be the largest stone ever cut by human hands lies in an abandoned quarry near the ruins of Baalbek, in Syria. This mammoth obelisk is about seventy-five feet wide. Its weight Is estimated at fifteen hundred tons. High up in the wall of an old castle at Baalbek are other stones nearly as large. No one knows when the massive blocks were quarried, or how they were moved from place to place and hoisted into position, for the race that hewed them into shape carved no inscriptions or memorials upon them.—Youth's Companion. Had Sense of Gratitude. An old man walked two miles through the snow in New York city in order to carry an egg to the headquarters of one of the charitable organizations. The Boclety had given him a vacation in the country and a farmer had given him two pullets on leaving, so he had promised the first egg to the people who had been kind to him. Mother's Forgetfulness.

BRIGHT STRIPES THE VOGUE Colors and Combinations for Spring May Almost Be Described as Glaring. The Roman stripes with their das* sling bright hues are to be worn this spring by women. From all indications the red and gold stripes are to be displayed In erery possible guise, say the merchants. In vests and saahea and even in more startling ways the bright stripes are to be worn. The most popular way of wearing the Roman colors will be In sashes.. They are being shown In the stores made with a bow in the back, built high and with draping tassels on the side. The stripes also will be seen on the hats. The ribbons will be draped about the hat and will allow a sort of tassel to hang from the side or back. Other styles will be striped vests. Vests have been worn all winter, but the brighter stripes are to be the spring style. These are to be made with long points and cut on the bias, allowing the stripes to slant away from the points. FASHION HINTS are made to exactly fill the four quarter- spaces of the table. It is also a fine card table,. The amazingly low price for table and chairs is $21. It Is In dull old oak. An oblong, three-shelved stand, with a handle stretching above the top shelf, was seen at $12. This was similar to a muffin Btand, but newer of design. A delightful dining room accessory Is a fern stand. It has a zinc lined flower box, and is about the height of an ordinary table. These fern stands are often very handsome. One of mahogany with cane insets was seen at $17. This had square ends. And one with rounded box ends cost $20. A dull oak stand was $11. A mahogany tea-wagon, which Is shown In the last drawing, costs $20, and another one In oak and cane, with a cretonne-filled tray, Is $25. Two little high-chairs for the babies were most delightful little things—of mahogany, both of them. One at $22 was a Chippendale, and the other was a Windsor at $12.—Philadelphia Record.

"~v . White Gowns for Spring. So many and various of type are the white gowns now being made up for spring service, that unquestionably a "white" season confronts us. The costumes likely to be first worn—at after Easter church weddings and the like—are those in taffeta made up into skirts with circular flounces and into bodies trimmed with narrow ruffles, and the embroidered voiles, veiling bengaline slips. Somewhat less elaborate are the ratine gowns made up with heavy filet lace and with girdle and pipings In colored voile, and the wool crepons with embroidered batiste yoke and sleeves. New Handkerchiefs. There Is quite a departure from customary handkerchief styles this season.

Blight's disease 1B one of the final stages of uric acid poisoning. It kills la our country every year more men and women than any other ailment except two—consumption and pneumonia. Bright'* disease and uric acid poisoning usually start in some kidney weakness that would not be hard to cure, if discovered early, so it is well to know the early signs of kidney disease and uric poisoning. When urio acid is formed too fast and the kidneys are weakened by a cold, or fever, by overwork, or by overindulgences, the acid collects, the blood gets impure and heavy, there ia headache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling with disturbances of the urine. Real torture begins when the uric acid forms into gravel or stone in the kidney, or crystallizes into Jagged bits in the muscles, joints or on the nerve tubings. Then follow the awful pains of neuralgia, rheumatism, gout, sciatica, neuritis, lumbago or kidney colic. «4 I dortt know what ails nu.** It is but a further step to dropsy or Bright's disease.

CORN CAN BE GROWN ON CANADIAN PRAIRIES Manitoba is now commencing to produce considerable corn, chiefly for feeding purposes. In some cases, where the crop can be matured into the dough stage, silos could be used and would be a profitable investment According to the Farm and Ranch Review, a correspondent visited a field of corn in southern Manitoba on September 28. The corn then was untouched by frost and it stood on an average eight and nine feet in height. The corn had developed into the dough stage, and the crop would easily exceed 20 tons to the acre. At many experimental farms, the same favorable showing of the corn crop has manifested Itself. At the Brandon experimental farm this year several varieties, all very good ylelders, matured into good silo corn. Considering the success with which corn can be produced, and the advantages to be gained by so producing it, should not It receive the serious attention of the western agriculturist? Corn is successfully grown in the northern part of Minnesota In similar soil and under the same climatic condition, and there does not appear to be any reason why like results should not be secured in western Canada. It Is the opinion of many American farmers of experience that the corn belt is extending northward. The prairie provinces must gradually take up with mixed farming. More stock on the farms must be raised, and In consequence farming must to some extent be diverted from grain growing to other necessary crops. If crops suitable for wialf/ing^attle and especially dairy stock are to be grown, why should not corn be one of these crops? In Ontario and in the United States we find it forms the main bulky food for wintering beef and dairy cattle. They would not be without this profitable plant. In fact, since Its introduction almost twice as much stock can be retained on the same amount of land, besides considering Its great value for keeping Che land clean. Some may say that many crops that can be grown in Ontario and the States cannot be grown here, but not so with corn, even now we find scattered fields of corn in Alberta and Saskatchewan,—Advertisement Eloquence is ordinary gab with its Sunday garments on.

TITLE OF ACT NOT GERMANE TO BODY. 8tate Highway Department Will be Compelled to Abandon Twentyfive Pvr Cent of State Reward Roads. SAYS DEATH RATE AMONG It.DIANS IS GROWING Lansing, Mich.-—The automobile tax law passed by the 1913 session of the legislature was declared unconstitutional by the supreme court Thursday. It ig one of the most important decisions rendered by the court this year. The aecretary of state has already collected more than 1286,000 from automobile owners in the state at 50 cents a horsepower, and has a gigantic task in remitting back the difference of about 1190,000, between the usual $3 license and the amount paid. At least 11,000 checks and vounchers will have to be made out Owners of electric machines will have to pay again, as many of these cars were not taxed as much under the new law as under the old license system. The supreme court only passed on one question, the title of the act It holds that the act is a tax law and that the body of the act Is not germane to the title of the act. In its opinion the court says in part: "The clear purpose of the legislature in exacting so large an amount under the guise of regulation, makes it a tax measure, which clearly, is not covered by the title of the act "The obvious purpose of the new law, increasing the fees according to horsepower, was to increase the highway fund. There'can be no more labor or expense In registering a vehicle of high horsepower than in registering one of low horsepower, and the only reasonable purpose In the graduated fee it the increased revenue." Officials of the state highway department to which the funds derived from the tax was to ge say that the division will mean that at least 21 per seat of the state reward reads to have boon built this year will have to be given up, that the department will have to quit payment en state roads late la August or early In September. The trunk line fund is intact and will not be disturbed. The auto tax law was the outgrowth of the effort of the state legislature, to provide for a system of trunk line highways, forming a network throughout the state. CATO SELL8.

Lieutenant Holton is detached from his Command In the navy at the .^jtfset of the Spanish-American war and assigned to Important secret service duty. While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter in the act of robbing a beautiful J'oung- lady. She thanks him for hie servce and gives her name aa Mias La Tossa, a Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at a ball. A secret service man warns Hoiton that the girl is a spy. Senor La Tossa chides his daughter for her failure to secure important information from Holton. She leaves for her home in Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her, They m*et on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton she Is a Cuban a>y and expresses doubt regarding the ncerity of the Urrfted States. Holten Is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He receives orders to land Miss La Tossa, who Is considered a dangerous spy, on Cuban soil. At sea he is overtaken by another warship which takes Miss La Tossa aboard and Holton Is ordered to • return to Tampa. He-saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton Is sent to General Oarcia's command In the guise of a newspaper correspondent to Investigate Cuban plots Against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans In the interests of the Spaniards. XaMton Is seised by friends of the spy and liter is ordered executed as a spy. He escapes find saves the American troops from fallng Into a Spanish ambush. He learns from Gen. Garcia that the spy Is Joss Cesnola, one of the moat trusted leaders. Holton takes part In the battle.at San Juan. CHAPTER X.—Continued. Presently he came to a street which presented a vista of a long line of fttreet lamps. Evidently It led into the heart of the city. Holton followed It past stores and houses, until at length he stood in the patio before the "palace." Here there were lights in all the windows. Evidently the official machinery was working overtime. The lights gave him a sense of comfort, the doubtful sort of comfort that a man out In the cold feels when he looks in at a company gathered about a genial fire, Holton's emotions were those of a pariah. He was an outcast, and more than that an outcast who would speedily feel a hempen rope about his neck If he were not extremely careful. Somehow the thought that he was a spy had slipped his mind for the time being. For more than an hour he stumbled along, leaving the city, crossing the tracks of the Sabanllla and Maroto railroad, until he came to a gate guarded by a thatched lodge. Upon the wails of the gate were emblasoned the Spanish coaterf-anns. It was thrown back, and a soldier stood In the opening. "Who comes there?" he asked, bringing his gun across his chest "Cardenas," cried Holton, giving the countersign as he had heard It several times that night He walked forward. 1 have a message from General Toral for Senor La Tessa. Doee be Mrs here?" be added. The sentinel threw bis gun into the hollow of his arm. "No," he replied. 'Ton must walk up this road two miles.. It is the first estate on your left" Holton politely thanked the soldier and proceeded on his way. His shoes were caked with mud and his clothing dragged heavily. And he was both tired and sleepy. He moved as though In a dream. He was really not more than half awake. And yet he was not aware of the passage of a great amount of time when he passed in front of another thatched lodge, with the dark outlines, ofa large house, lying back oa the top *of*a gent)e hill There wai no soldier at the gate here, and as he walked up the winding path he could not discover a single light in the great man* ejon. At least he could see nothing In the way of illumination until he got Quite close, and then through a crevice in the tightly drawn shades of what apparently was one of the larger rooms he made out a tiny gleam, At least the house was not deserted. He walked close to the window-and found that the front veranda passed under it 80 he mounted' the steps sad, stealing to the window, glued bis eye to the crevice. He could see a table, and around !t some men in uniform, drinking and smoking. The figures were, of course, Indistinct, and although Holton could eaten the sound of their voices, he could not make out what was being •aid. As he crouched thus under the window- ledge the front door opened, and a flfaie end of the long veranda. Here the man emitted a low whistle, which was not answered. With a muttered exclamation, the stranger retraced his steps, and, walking directly past Holton In the other direction, leaned over the railing and whistled again. Holton never afterward knew what possessed him, but he noticed that the man had left the front door slightly ajar. Acting upon quick thought, he suddenly leaned down, unlaced his shoes, and then, with a quick glance at the fellow still leaning over the railing and cursing under his breath, he stole from his position, made for the open door, and slipped hastily and noiselessly Into the halL A light with a deep red shade was burning here, and the shadows it cast were heavy. The door of the room into which he had been peering was half open, and across the hall, directly opposite, was a corresponding room, the interior of which was not lighted. Into this apartment, scarcely breathing, Holton stole, standing inside the jamb and listening with strained ears. Before he could adjust himself to the sense of what was being said, the man who had emerged from the door when Holton was on thesveranda returned into the hall, closed the door and entered the lighted room. He was attired in the uniform of a captain in the navy, and his entrance seemed to quiet somewhat the ardor of the argument. "It is agreed, then gentlemen, that the city cannot long endure a siege T" The voice was deep and authoritative. Hoiton, in an ecstasy of eagerness, craned his head forward. "I for one deny it," was the angry response. "But aside from you, general," was the rejoinder, "we seem unanimous Do we not?" There was a chorus of assent Then Hoilton heard a voice that he recognized; a voice that sent thrills down his spine and caused him to loosen his. revolver In Its holster. "Shatter's army alone would not suffice. But I know that General Miles with reinforcements will soon be here, and I know, also, that while General Shatter would prefer to abandon his present position, he will not do so. I can inform you, too, that the lines of our army will not be attacked by charge on the morrow, and that a long siege will be entered upon. The Americans are in excellent health, and they will starve us to submission/' It was the voice of the waiter of the New Willard. "But Senor Cesnola,M interposed the first speaker, "you have led us to believe that within a week, at least, your Cuban rebels will turn upon the Americans," "They will when I give the word.** Then why not give itf" « "Because the time is not ripe. They would be wiped out of existence. That time must come when the fever has He Qliied Hie l y e to the Crevice. begun its work and the army is beginning to be demoralised. T w o - three—five more days in the trenches on the hillsides under this hot sun, will do oar work for m " . "Gentlemen," went on the first speaker, "my mind Is made up. Tomorrow la the find of July. We shall make no more then. But I wan yon, if on the morning of Jury S the situation it still unchanged the fleet win leave Santiago harbor, Orders from Blanco are getting Imperative. If we survive the attempt and reach Havana we shall be safe; it cannot be taken, I believe, in a year's siege. Here the successful storming of our lines means the end of our navy and the unsuccessful close of this war." "So this is your decision?" inquired another *vo tee. "Those are my orders and they are final." Holton, trembling like a leaf, his mouth hanging open, drank In the words as a drowning man drinks In his last breath of air. He could hardly credit his senses. Here, after a night of aimless stumbling through the blackness and through the rain, he had chanced upon the very place of all places where information most valuable to his country's success was to be obtained. The voices had fallen to a hum and, strain his ears as he would, he could catch no more than fragmentary sentences. Some one went out at the door, and presently the sound of horses' hoofs was heard on the shell driveway. Three men departed, and then Holton heard the scraping of chairs and the rattle of glasses, as though those that remained were preparing to spend some further time In their present quarters. Holton having put on his shoes, was on the point of stealing into the hall and out by the door when he decided that this, exposing him as it would to detection, was not the wise course. So he turned back into the room, purposing to open a window. As his hand touched the catch he was startled by a sudden blase of light and a voice. "Well, sir, what are you doing herer He turned to confront the young woman he loved. CHAPTER XI. A Close Call. Holton's first Instinct was to utter the girl's name; but flashing second thought came to his rescue, and he broke into a volley of Spanish ejaculations. As he went on she stood regarding him fixedly, and finally, seeing a peculiar expression settle upon her wonderful face, he paused. "Mr. Holton 1" Her voice was low, almost guttural. Holton sprang toward her. "Miss La Tossa—Ranee!" His voice, too, was low, quivering with emotion. She stepped back, and, pointing her finger at him, repeated with blaring eyes her first question. "What are you doing here?" Then she stopped and looked at him. "Do you realize what you have doner She reached up hastily and extinguished the lamp she had lighted. "Mr. Holton," she continued, as the young officer stood silently regarding her, "have you truly no desire to liver* "I was captured in the battle," re- ^ ^ llBtefl. M 1 « La Tossa, I have plied Holton. "I escaped and—and—" "How—why did you come in here?" "Because a soldier on the road—I mean, a farmer—a planter—told me this was your home." "And you wish me to hide your* "No, I wish to leave," "But you cannot" "1 came in here; lam able to leave." *No, yon are not," she whispered. "General Torsi's and Admiral Cervera'e escort are outside now." She peered oat of the window. "I can see them." Holton looked for himself, and saw the front of the house lined with mounted men. He faced her irresolutely. . "But I mast get away at once," he remonstrated. 1 cannot stay here." Then why did yon come here? How did yon get in?" "I wanted to see yon," replied Holton. "The door was open, and I walked in." She looked at him a moment doubtfully. Then she shook her head. "That was not why yon came here. Ton did not come here to nee me," "But, nevertheless, 1 wanted to see of • Heavy tapestry by Che door, then looked out into the hall. "Yes, father. Here L am." "Oh, yes! I wish you would ash Maria to prepare a guest-room for Senor Cesnola. He decides to remain the night with us." "Yes, father," and with a warning "S-sh!" Miss La Tossa went out into the hall and disappeared. The two men stood near the door, chatting, "My daughter," complained La Tossa, "is still very restive. She escaped from us the day before the battle on horseback, and was gone the entire day." "It Is just as well," was the laughing reply. "8he will do no harm now, for, while your daughter counts on the mine exploding after they have vanquished us, I can assure you that the fuse wi|l be lighted a great while before that rather visionary event" ?You told me that young naval officer who was with Garcia had been, executed," went on La Tossa. "I am rather sorry for that. He was a likable young man apparently." "You need spare your grief," was the rejoinder. "When I so informed you I believed my orders had been carried out But,, as it appears, he escaped." "Your orders!" ejaculated La Tossa. "And when have you assumed the prerogatives of life and death?" "Spies must assume Buch prerogatives occasionally," was the quiet reply. "This young man Holton was in a position to undo my work. He was in my way. As a consequence, I forged Muller's name to a warrant for his execution. That fact may wound your sensibilities; but this is war, not child's play." Holton's eyes fairly glared through the darkness, and yet, despite his anger, he was pleased to know that the murderous order was the work of a 'Well, Sir, What Are Hsrer You Doing renegade and that it had not the sanction of authority. "Well, I must say I am glad he was not executed," remarked La Tossa. "My daughter"—his voice sank low— "is, I believe, very fond of him." "And you approve?" "Oh, it has not gone so far as that! But I do knew that in some way her little secret amour has exerted upon her a repressing Influence, has caused her to mope and to brood—in other words, to curb activities which formerly caused me much worry." Miss La Tossa appeared at the moment and the two men rejoined their comrades in the opposite room. "Are you herer she whispered. "Yes." Holton stepped before her. She went on as though he had not spoken. "It la quite clear new." She was about to conttnae, when steps were heard in the haH and a voice called her name: "Ranee! Ranee, my otasctter?" She panned Hptton into the folds something I wish to tell yon. When** met you before I was unable to reassure your fears as to your country. Now I am. I have spent seven days among the leaders of our army, and I know their Intentions. I wish to assure you as a man of honor that as soon as Santiago is taken, as soon as the city and the province "are utterly rid of the Spaniards, and as soon as order is restored here, our troops are going to withdraw." - "Is this truer she whispered tensely. "It is true, and more. I heard Admiral Sampson and several high army officers assure General Garcia that as soon as practicable the Americans would withdraw, leaving him, General Garcia, as governor of the province. Now, there is no doubt of this at all I have heard It with my own ears—" He paused and held out his hand. "Are we friends r he added. She met his hand impulsively. "Yes, a thousand times, and God bless you Americans!" * Holton drew her fingers to his lips and Kissed them. As he bent thus a figure darkened the doorway and a sneering voice broke the silence. "A very charming picture, mdeed!" Holton swung' around quickly, and before him, his face writhing with a saturnine grin, stood Cesnola. Hplton's hand flew to his revolver, but the t face and a significant flash of steel on a line with the man's waist gave hint passe. (TO ma coimimvui Titles snd TKIee. "Has he a title?"

These include such things as eggs, cakes, flowers, presents and the Easter hare, to say nothing of other items obsolete in our times. Individual notlngs of one or another of the cere,- monies or observances have there been, hut it is by no means easy to lay one's hand on any assembling of them. They represent very ancient customs of devotion or superstition, which like the disaster of spilling salt or of sitting thirteen at table are persisting relics of a time when the world was filled with signs and omens. Authorities agree that the remote ancestor of Easter was a ceremony of pagan worship. Distant as are the origins of the old religious forms and intertwined as are the threads, connecting them with the present, it is not now easy to disentangle them, so that it may be said that Easter observances among the people include remnants of the ancient worship of the sun, the moon and fire and water. The keynote of the festival has been from the very beginning resurrection, the re-awakening of the vernal world. The name is that of a goddess of spring, and certain of the emblems have had a co-relation that is remarkable, and through thirty centuries they have come down to us together, preserving the early significance of resurrection, although the faith that originated the ideas had ages ago been forgotten. The idea of Easter sprang truly from a tomb; that tomb was, however, the tomb of winter. The strong-angel that rolled away the stone from the door of the Bepulcher was the April sun. Although Lent has the claim of Christian origin, there are antiquarians who assert that it is of far more ancient origin. It arose, as nearly as has yet been determined, in the fasting that was customary among the , Babylonians, whose worship formed the starting point of Easter. The fast was one of sympathy with the goddess of reproduction, who mourned her consort, and the period was marked by fasting and an abstinence from mirth and social festivals. Fasting has been a widespread custom, Humboldt noting fasts in Mexico, where, curiously enough, the invading Spaniards found the natives practicing baptism, witb an invocation to Cioacooatl that "the sin which was given before the beginning of the world might not visit the child, but that cleansed by these waters it might live and be born anew." Easter was at first a continuation of the Jewish Passover and came on the fourteenth of the month Nisan. When the revulsion of feeling in the church against the Jews occurred it was changed and deliberately fixed so that it could by no possibility fall on the same day as the Passover. This matter was settled in A. D. 325. Easter was set for the first Sunday following the full moon that comes after March 21. This relation to the vernal equinox brought it to the time of the pagan festival of the goddess of spring, dating back to the Astarte worship of Babylonia. The name, Easter, is comparatively modern, but the principle of the "story and the emblems and observances are of this ancient date. "EaBter fires continue even now in northern Europe," wrote Grimm a generation ago. On the Weser a tar barrel was tied to a fire tree and lighted In the evening and the men and the maidens sang and danced about i t ' There was a fire on every hilltop. There were processions to these fires and hymn singing and the bearing of white rods were features. The people liked to carry the fire home with them; it was a sacred fire and embodied elements of the old fire worship. It was produced by friction, a natural method, and to kindle it two boys were selected who knew nothing of the vanities of the world. Within a quarter of a century k in Hildesheim the Easter fire b f l i f been struck with the steeL Here Aft) •people take the fire home to rekJneUt their extinguished hearths. The' otC sacred fires were lighted by natural4 means, some of them by concentration of the sun's rays through mirrors. y ' There U something better than stepping to count ten when you are angry; ooont a hundred. \ X t .

Aunt Llndy had brought around her three grandchildren for her mistress to see. The three, little darkies, in calico smocks, stood squirming in line while LJndy proudly surveyed them. "What are their names, Lindy?" her mistress asked. "Dey's name' after flowers, ma'am. Ah name,'era. De bigges' one's name' Gladlola. be nei' one, she name' Heliotrope." "Those are very pretty," her mistress said. "What is the little one named?" "She name' Artuhflclal, ma'am." Bolstering Bad Bills. "How does Hamlet Fatt manage to keep in vaudeville?"

This law applies to the drivers of both new and old cars. Auto owners in this part of the state are rejoicing over the, fact that the new "Auto tax law" has been declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Thi3 means that they will be required to pay but $3.00 for a liceuse instead of fifty cents per horse power. A good many of the drivers here have been waiting for this very thing to happen.

How wonderfully tight the spring wander-lust for the countryside grips onel Spring fever, with all of its healtbfulnese, is the harbinger of fresh hopes and a buoyancy of Bpirit I noticed a passenger on a Detroit- Chicago train the other day who had started out on his trip with the evident intention of becoming deeply taken with one of the best sellers, that he might shorten the trip between the two cities. You have done the same thing yourself. But his book had been cast aside. He had read only a few pages. His interest in it had lagged. From the car windows he was counting the fields now bared of snow. The ditches were carrying away the water and the still less sluggish creeks were now streams bearing the overflow to the rivers. The farmer, in his shirt sleeves, was repairing the fences after the winter drifts; the cattle showing proof of a winter's stabling and how heading here and there toward the meadows, seeking the new-green _patcbes of grase; the farm help, ID field" and stubble, was putting—into repair this and that necessary feature, here looking after his plow and there his harrow, and on all sides were scenes which reminded the traveler that spring was here, at last! Ae the train sped onward and glimpses of the painter as he worked on the weather-beaten buildings were revealed, the interest of the tourist was aroused and, when I asked him the reason, he answered: "Spring is here and I feel its blood flowing!" The truth was, that like many others, he was planning the work he was to do the coming summer. He was going out to the farm—his farm In Western Canada. He had his wells to dig, his horses to get into shape, his grain implements to fix up, his seed grain to prepare, and other details for the land that was ready to receive it. Hie was what might be termed an "unrest"—to get to the farm! Thousands In Western Canada today are making the preparations that this interested man contemplated. Their summer fallows are ready for the wheat, their spring plowing is being attended to, fences are being rebuilt or being put into repair; indeed, the entire country is one great hive of industry. Railroads are in readiness to take care of a great rush of settlers, those charged with the reception of whom are prepared to extend every courtesy and thus meet the rush with judgment and without the least friction. Thus, the enjoyment of the opening of spring is fully met. At many of the stations throughout many of the middle western states, trains of settlers' effects are in readiness to move to Western Canada. Not only in these states are scenes of this kind to be witnessed, but, also, on either coast and throughout the eastern states there is the same activity among those going to Western Canada this spring. The crops have been heavy and all reports are that the winter was enjoyable; also, that the prospects for a satisfactory year were never better. There is plenty of land yet to be had by homsteadlng or otherwise. Adapted, as Western Canada is, to small grain farming, it is especially adapted to cattle raising and many of the farmers are placing small and large herds, aa their individual means will permit The illustrated literature sent out by the Canadian government agents tells the truth clearly and the inquirer should send for & copy and if you be one of those who has an ambitious Interest, you may be the gainer by a perusal of such information— straight, cold facts in themselves^- Advertisement. FRANCESCO VILLA TAKES TORREON REBEL GENERAL IS SUCCESSFUL AFTER LONG AND BLOODY FIGHT. CLIMAX OF FIRST CAMPAIGN Victors Will Now March On Toward Mexico City In Attempt, to Overthrow Victorian? Huerta. Catering to All. A Boston merchant tells of an old grocer in Massachusetts who was about as "slick" an article as one would care to meet "One day," says the Bostonlan, "I stopped before his shop and looked curiously at a long line of barrels of apples, some marked with an '•,' tome marked with a 'Z.' "'What Is the meaning of these markings?' I asked. 'The barrels seem to contain the same kind, of apples/ "'They are the same kind, son,' the old gentleman replied, 'but some customers want a barrel opened at the top and some at the bottom/ " A Leading Question. *Re-»i could tango forever. Sbe-^How long could yo* bring up #oa! and sift aaaaof Torreon, Mexico—Torreon, strewn with the dead and wounded of a sixday battle, was occupied by the rebels Thursday night on the heels of the fleeing federals. In all the fighting no foreigner was killed or injured. The taking of Torreon, marks the climax of the first campaign of the revolution to oust Victorian© Huerta from Mexico City. It gives the Constitutionalists virtual control over the whole northern tier of Mexican states. Already the rebel nf>vement toward Monterey and Saltillo has begun. The next great battle between the forces of Carranza and Huerta will be fought in these two places. The-flghting began last Friday, and was almost continuous. At first, Villa attempted assaults on the strong Federal positions in daylight, but these proved costly, so the days were spent in cannonading and the night in assaults. Positions were taken and lost time and again. Several night attacks sent the Federals scurrying from strong positions, but at daybreak the captors would be the strength and accuracy of the enemy's artillery fire, much of which lsvsald to have been directed by French and German gunners. Losses have not been compiled, but Gen. Villa estimated his own losses at 660 killed and 1,500 wounded, and the Federal loss at 1,000 killed and 2,500 wounded, with an unknown number of prisoners.

REFERENDUM ON APRIL HTH Leaders Point Out That Non-Union Operators Would Like to See Strike in the Union Fields. Indianapolis, Ind.—Ratification of the action of the scale committee of the United Mine Workers of America at Chicago means "industrial peace; if rejected, a strike," according to a circular sent out from the international headquarters of the organization here and made public Friday. The circular calls for a referendum vote April 14 upon the decision of the miners' representatives at the conference to withdraw wage demands and recommending that such questions of working conditions which the miners feel are in need of adjustment should be taken up with the operators locally, the miners meantime to remain at work. Among the reasons given for ratification of this-plan are that "coal markets, together with industrial .and economic conditions, do not justify a strike at this time, if such can honorably be avoided." The circular further declares that non-union operators are anxious to see a strike in "the organized field," and charges that representatives of the former were at the Chicago conference and at the previous one in Philadelphia, "doing all in their power to bring about a disagreement and a strike." "We are unwilling to play into their hands," it continues, "by going on a strike, throwing the mines idle and thus allowing them to fill the markets with non-union coal."

There is a New York woman who goes twice a year to Chicago with her husband, when the latter makeB periodical business trips. They always stay at the same hotel—a large though quiet house, which gets a good deal of Chicago and Illinois trade. The New Yorkers have come to be known to the woman housekeeper of the hotel. They have just returned from their latest journey to the city by Lake Michigan, and this is what Mrs. New Yorker says: "I always used to think that the humorous paragraphs In the papers dealing with the frequency 6i Chicago divorces were jokes, but I know now they have a solid basis of fact The reason? Because when we were in Chicago this time the housekeeper of the hotel said to me: 'I'm so glad to se you back again, ma'am. And you know—if you'll excuse me saying it—you're the only lady that comes back here year after year with the same husband.'

"Out of the way," repeated the Spaniard, with a sort of hissing of the breath. "Out of the way, or, by God! I'll shoot through you." There was the crash of an opening door. "What's thiB—this noise and shoutr ing?" came a deep voice. Holton, watching his enemy like a hawk, saw the revolver-barrel deflected from him, the man's head turned in the direction whence the voice had come. Springing backward and sidewise like a deer, Holton shot across the room. There was a loud report—a bullet singed his hair. The next instant he had leaped through the window, glass and all, and was on the porch. Prom here, as two bullets sped after him, he leaped down upon the back of a horse that war-toeing held "by a soldierr Striking the animal with the butt of his revolver, he went careering off /through the darkness like a rocket Prom the men on the drive, from men on the porch, came a rain of bullets; and Holton, who had learned a trick or two in the way of horsemanship, slipped down along the animal's body, shielding himself almost completely. But the horse was exposed, and a whining bullet pierced the steed to the heart. He suddenly plunged forward, throwing Holton to the ground, then rolled over and was still. Holton landed on his knees, and, although jarred, was not stunned. He scrambled along desperately, regaining his feet, and struck out for the woods, about a^hundred feet away. He toiled oh for two hours, distancing all sounds of pursuit and then flung himself on the wet ground like a tired animal and fell at once into a iQeep sleep. When he awoke the sun was shining through the trees. But it was not this that had roused him. It was the roaring of field ordnance and the racketing of small arms. Evidently they were at it again. His one thought was that this was the 2nd of July, and that on the morrow the Spanish warships meant to dash out of the harbor and attempt an escape. His fleet must be warned. That was what he was there for, and this, from now on, must be the single aim of his life, the one thought in his mind, the supreme struggle of his body. By constant concentration upon the object of his mission, he brought his mental condition into a sort of hysteria. The heat, too, had got Into his brain. As he stumbled over a log he would Bob or. curse, and once, when he tripped and was thrown flat, he lay for a second, weeping like a child. So he went on until once, upon climbing a jtree to ascertain his position, he looked down upon the upper waters of the harbor. He was on the hills to the right, and another hour's Journey would bring him within signal of his fleet He struggled feebly, and then lay back with the realisation that great at was the exigency, he was not able to meet it A sort of stupor, partly hunger, partly fatigue, stole over him, and he closed hit eye*. It was night when he opened them again, starlit night At first he could not recall where he war Then he remembered, and with a start remembered why he was there. He tat up and with difficulty got on hit feet Then he walked. He did not know he was walking; he had no conscioutneea of moving, and no sense of direction; but hit subconscious powers were leading him right A breath of pure salt air blew on hit face. He turned toward a line of brush and parted it, and there, below him, lay the Spanish fleet, their lights, reflected in'the velvet water*, twinkling and winking. He heard the chug-chug of a steam launch, and several timet the murmur of a voice rote to hit ears. Farther down. In the moonlight, he could tee the marts and funnel of Hobson's Marrlxnac. 8hlps* bells struck at ha looked,^ and the sound floated sweetly to the hilltops. Ha turned hit face seaward and walked along, partially revivified by hit reat At length a sense of openneat came upon him, the sensatkm of a vast void in front of him. Ha panted, and than stole noiselessly onward, until at latt patting through a growth of manlgvt, the wide expanse of the Caribbean lay before him. Hare ha flung himself, on the ground waited tor morning. Hit limbs pain. His eyea burned with fever, bis head throbbed. And yet all these things he regarded lightly, for the Caribbean was in front of him, and the American fleet would receive his warning as soon as God brought the dawn. CHAPTER XII: Destroying a Fleet. It was well past dawn when Holton awoke. He was In a panic of fear that he had permitted valuable time to elapse. He rose to his feet stiffly and broke through the bushes until the blue Bea lay beneath him. Hla eyes were strained to the left, where the stern of the flagship was swinging toward him. He noticed black smoke belching from the funnels. Evidently the New York was leaving her station when the ships of the enemy were preparing to come out of the harbor where they had been bottled up for so long. Cold sweat stood out upon Holton*B forehead, and, hastily throwing aside his coat and tearing off his shirt, he took from beneath it a white signal flag, which he had carried around his body for days against just this emergency. Breaking off a branch and knotting the corners of the flag to it, he sprang tensely into position. The flagship was leaving beyond peradventure. Her stern was still toward him, and it was growing smaller. The admiral going away, of all times! In desperation he raced along the hill, trying to catch an angle where his signaling would be seen. Pinally, seeing the futility of further running, Holton stopped, and began swinging the flag right left, right left, with frantic energy. For five, ten minutes he repeated the T. E, call, but without eliciting the slightest response, and so, ceasing his exertions he watched the New York move away with tears springing from his eyes. The Brooklyn had swung broadside to him, and the picturesque ram bow and the tall funnels were as cleanly cut against the sea at a cameo. Admiral Schley, he knew, was on board her, and must of necessity be the commander- in-chief pending Sampson's return. So it was to this rakish craft that he now turned his attention. Walking to a point as nearly abreast of her as he could get, he began snapping the flag right and left in the effort to attract her attention. If he could only get her now, and could deliver his message, there was no doubt that the New York could be recalled by a signal gun. So Blmple did this seem that he wondered why he had not thought of it before. He swung his flag with fresh ardor, but It was at though he were signaling to Mart, so far as any answer was concerned. Holton could see a launch leaving the Indiana for the Massachusetts, Everything was peaceful. From the city drifted the tweet notes of the matin bells and through the trees he could catch glimpses of the red roots and the blues and greens and browns of the houtet of Santiago. Holton redoubled hit efforts with the flag. It teamed at If he had moved hit arms to and fro for an hour without response. He had to rest He lowered the flag and was leaning on the staff when suddenly from tike bridge of the Brooklyn ha taw a flutter of banting. At he looked be read that vetweTs call letter. No doubt now they had teen hit signal and were making h> Quiriet. Quickly raking hit nag~ over hit head he .repeated bla B. B. call and then, at he caught the answering flashes of white from taw Brooklyn, he began hit message*. And this la how It read: "Meetage to admiral from Teeufsn ant Holton." "All right Ready." "Cervera* fleet win teas* the har- 'bor this morning." There was a pauea. Holton waved hit flag frantically. "Did you gat I t r There was atOl no answer. Finally it came. "Repeat" Holton scowled, "Carrara's fleet will leave the bar* bor this morning." There was another pause. "Who are yonf* "Lieutenant Holton, Unfted States navy." - After a abort wait the flag an Brooklyn flatbed again. "The admiral sends his complimentt —and his thanks." There followed several up and down movements of the flag, Indicating that Admiral Schley had received all he wanted to know and that his mind waa already turning to more important matters of the hour. As Holton threw his flag aside and turned shoreward he saw two tall columns of black smoke arising from the direction of the harbor. They were coming! He dashed for his flag, but even as he did so he saw the flash of a tier of guns from Morro and Socapa, and then suddenly, as he glanced down toward the mouth of the bay, he saw a leaden-colored cruiser, with yellow and red flag of Spain snapping defiantly from her jack-staff, appear from behind- ttte hills, and theny as a pantherdashes from a cave in the mouth of which hunters have kindled a fire, she turned to the right and dashed Into the open sea. It seemed an age, but it was not more than a few Beconds, when a terrific roar shook the waters, and a burst of flame and gases rolled from a turret of ova of the American ships. Holton marked the course of the great thirteen-inch shell, saw the great, dark shape dart with lightning speed toward the Vizcaya, saw it hurtle over the deck, ricochet on the water, and explode in the woods beyond. Then the earth shook with fearful noise. From all the American ships, and from those of the Spaniards, great guns vomited forth their messengers of death and destruction. The sky grew dark, and a yellowish pall settled upon the sea. „ As Holton stood tense, following the combat as in a trance, he heard a tremendous explosion, and saw the Marie Theresa list sharply, and then saw her turn in toward the land, where she soon grounded. He could see men clinging to her decks. It was clear that the American vessels were overhauling the enemy's ships, although Holton had understood that, as regards speed, our vessels were inferior. The discharge of guns was incessant. Almost directly beneath him he saw two Spanish destroyers disengage themselves from the larger vessels and swing about, evidently with the intention of returning to the harbor; but like a hawk, a Good An Round aids to good health—and to the strength, comfort and cheerfulness which depend on thecondi^ tion of health—are the famous, time-tested, safe and speedy BEECHAM'S PILLS 8old • • o r r w h e r e . la boss*, 1 0 » * 200» SPECIAL TO WOMEN The most economical, cleansing and germicidal of all antiseptics Is A soluble Antiseptic Powder to be dissolved in water as needed.

The que&tion has been asked more than once since the ship sank two years ago. Nearly every time the subject has been broached some one has come forward with an array of figures that apparently placed the project in the realm of e impossible. Of late the idea has n revived, and now comes an entgineer with a scheme that can boast Ian element of the probable, |,rovld«d Ithe circumstances are quite aa invariable as he Imagined them to be. Paradoxically, the man that offers e present solution has his home pretnearly aa far away from the sea as It Is possible to get here in the United IStates. Charles A. Smith, the author of the plan, lives in Denver, says the [New York Sun. Briefly it Is his purpose to make use of a great many powerful electric lifting magnets, which when energized will cling to [the Bteel body of the Titanic like so (many monster leeches. When these magnets are firmly attached to the skin of the ship lines leading surfaceward will be secured to buoyant caissons, or camels, of steel built especially for the purpose, and then the inventor counts upon the cumulative lifting force of all these cylindrical tanks to raise the Titanic clear of the bottom so that the wreck and the floating camels can be towed to shallower water. Each time the Titanic Is halted by fine rising sea bed the connecting lines twill be shortened, the vessel raised a few feet, and with this clearance she will be towed nearer land. Thus step by step the foundered ship is to be raised and moved shoreward until the next to the last stage of the operations finds her in water of such moderate depth that the ordinary diver can be employed. This would Involve bringing the Titanic from her present supposed restling place, two miles down below the urface of the sea, and transporting er to some point near the Nova Scon coast, where a temporary resting lace could be found at a depth of not ore than 100 feet. But great physical obstacles lie in Ithe path of Mr. Smith's project. To bejgln with, it would take an Immense amount of hunting to locate the wreck. [Wrecks have a way of shifting even iafter they reach the ocean bed, and (this is one of the puzzling aspects of la submarine problem of this sort Take your atlas and trace the course of the Gulf Stream as it branches just about where the White 8tar liner collided with that deathdealing iceberg. You will find that this current of warm water sweeps at that point off to the southeast, and somewhere below the Gulf Stream the great volume of the Labrador Current flows to the south and west, bringing [with it an unceasing burden of sand. Sn this fashion both of these ocean rivers have carried sand* to the point [where they meet in conflict south of (Newfoundland, and thus out of this [battle has grown that steadily rising submarine mountain or plateau called jthe Grand Bank. It is possible that the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current have in the past two years substantially buried the wreck of the Tljtanic. If such be the case, the hulk may never be located. j Again, it is not certain that the Titanic lies on a sandy bottom. There U a reasonable probability that the ocean bed at that point may be rocky. This brings us to the question of her probable condition as a likely subject lor salvage, assuming that it be humanly possible to get down to her and jto attach lines or cables for her lifting. amr ort&M^vai&*x&2ri&& WZ2&A /Z&7 a^suerz^rjc/rttop^ at acnzzs square inch. If you multiply the 7,000,- 000 square inches by this pressure and divide by 2,240 — representing the pounds of a long ton—you will find that the superposed sea has laid its hand upon the body of the Titanic with weight of more than 14,000,000 tons. When afloat and fully laden the great liner represented a dead weight of 65,000 tons. If she be held in the grip of the ocean bed, with the sea further aiding that hold, the a salver would have to exert a lifting force of more than 215 times her service tonnage in order to free her from the bottom. In other words, Mr. Smith would have to provide salvage caissons or camels with an amassed buoyancy equivalent to an assembled fleet of floating Titanics more than 215 strong! From a financial and engineering point of view an undertaking of this sort would not be alluring. But it may be that the wreck of the ahip is not in this unpromising predicament How is the Denver inventor to satisfy himself upon this point? Mr. Smith "has planned as an auxiliary a type of submarine boat which Is to be strong enough to withstand the deepest submergence required for the reaching of the Titanic wreck. In this direction the inventor Is practically elaborating on the work of the noted Italian submarine engineer, Slgnor Pino. The latter designed a type of globular submarine, which, because of its particular form and the nature of its fabrication, would stand up under the crushing stresses of very deep submergence. In fact the boat—if such it could strictly be called—was so arranged that increasing pressure actually served to make the craft more watertight. According to Mr. Smith's plan, these submarine auxiliaries will be lowered from big wrecking steamers and will obtain their limited propulsive energy from the electric power plant of the surface craft. Their purpose will be two fold: That of locating and exploring externally the shattered wreck, and to assist in guiding and in pushing the powerful magnets into contact with the steel hull. It would be of the utmost importance to place these mechanical leeches where the Internal structure of the Titanic would be best able to support the lifting strains. Lifting magnets are extensively employed nowadays in big steel plants, and lately have been used also for the recovery or iron and steel scrap which has been lost overboard In harbors. A well Jtoowji English firm has built some of these with a diameter of five feet and with a magnetle grip strong enough to raise a solid mass of iron or Bteel weighing 12 tons. One of the main difficulties in the __: use of magnets is to avoid overheating The question Is, so far as the salver them by reason of the electrical curls concerned, Which of these ways was Ihe one in which the Titanio was finally halted at the bottom of the-Atlantic? If she lies upon a rocky bed* then, If Mr. Smith can secure his magnets to her and command sufficient lifting force, the chance of her ultimate recovery brightens considerably. On the other hand, if the ship has forced a goodly part of her body into jthe sea bed the situation is entirely .changed. There Is no reasonable hope cf dislodging her from that anchorage. * The Titanic, like her sister ship, the • Olympic measured upon her longest deck, 882 feet and her beam was »2 -feet A rectangle of these dimensions would have a total area of 81444 square feet .. Of course, a plan view of the Titanlo's body was ship shaped Slid not rectangular, and let us sup- Pthat a goodly pert of it la burled first in the sand, and that only $0 cent rises above the bottom. In case approximately 7,000,000 inches would be wpmsd to the thraet of the orertying two of tea water. At a depth of 10,100 feet there to a fcjgfoitatW pf seems tending to crash jg#;t» heU amounting to a force of jftjM l«u&4» to- every v- :.^--^-.- . sea would cut down the load to be lifted to approximately 39,000 tons, which would call for 3,250 electro magnets, representing a dead weight in themselves of fully 10,000 tons. That is to say, that the special pontoons, or camels, must be equal to providing a total buoyancy of a good deal more than 49,000 tons, because the magnets must be suspended by chains or wire ropes, and here again is an additional load. If you are fond of figures you can while away your time calculating the number and the size of the caissons which Mr. Smith would have to use under the most favorable circumstancee, and when that conclusion has been reached you will find some difficulty in getting anchorage space for the necessary fleet in New York harbor. If you are at all familiar with the practical difficulties of towing you will realize what it would mean to convoy these squadrons to the site of the wreck, and when you have got them there and have crowded them over the Titanic's hulk, imagine what would happen if a storm arose! It will be seen, therefore, that Mr. Smith has many difficulties to overcome. Even If it were possible to recover the whole or any part of the hulk it Is hard to conceive bow the sajvers would have anything but an irreparably damaged mass. Remember that if any air pockets or chambers filled with air survived for a while during the vessel's sinking, they ultimately were burst In by the increasing hydrostatic pressure as the craft plunged deeper and deeper to her grave. Probably this happened in a large number of directions, and thus successively the ship's steel honeycomb was ruptured if not flattened into a veritable pancake. Of course, Mr. Smith may have an answer for every point raised; but even so the salvage of the Titanic would in no wise pay for the labor and the enormous expense involved. True, an achievement of this sort would be of the utmost engineering significance, inasmuch as it would herald the feasibility of dealing with treasure ships and other profitable wrecks that lie in shallower water. If Mr. Smith can do this latter work he will do something well worth while. DESTITUTE IN NEW YORK CITY rent turned into them. This element of temperature has hitherto placed limits upon their attractive powers, and especially upon prolonged continuous service, something that would be absolutely needful In dealing with such a project as the lifting of the Titanic and holding her during the towing into shallower water. However, news has come from Paris of late announcing an Important discovery in this matter of Increasing the strength of magnets without adding materially to their size. Unquestionably the temperature of the sea water where the Titanic now lies is very close to the freezing point, and it may he that the Denver engineer counts upon this condition to promote the efficiency of his magnets when first gripping the wreck and starting It surfaceward. Aa the matter stands, however, the present state of the art caHe for a magnet weighing /about sixty-eight hundredweight to h^elwreeaof l i t e m . tttheTHanio There Has Been a Big Increase During Recent Months In Demands for Charity.

Hlgh-Prlced Cuts, He Asserts, Are Not Necessarily the Best—More Nour* ithment In Many of the Cheaper Grades—About Chops. In the Woman's Home Companion a retail butcher writes an article entitled "Reducing the Meat Bill." in which he shows how people who buy the high-priced cuts don't get the beBt meat He says that some of the cheapest meats are the best. He takes an itemized weekly meat bill of $4.62 and shows, item by item, how that bill can be reduced to $3.21, just by using cheaper cuts, which he says are better cuts. After dealing with the various kinds of steaks—in which, by the way, he tells about the steak that the butcher eats himself—he goes on as follows about roasts and chops: "A roast of beef coBtlng 91 or $1.50 at the present time is not much; a hungry and healthy family will probably finish it in one meal. You can still enjoy good roast beef, and surely for less money, only buy the right cut From past observation the writer has found that nine out of ten customers ask for the first cut of the rib roast. Of course, they are the most expensive cuts. The fifth, sixth and shoulder ribs are hardly in demand, and the butcher has a hard job selling them. These end ribs or shoulder ribs of roast beef are not only considerably cheaper to buy, but are richer in nourishment and food value. When buying one of^ the three or four ribs of beef, say, for instance, weighing five pounds, you will find that you hardly have sufficient meat left after it is carefully trimmed and the bone taken out. The difference in price between the first cut on the rib and the last two cuts is at least six cents a pound, and when you ask for a shoulder rib roast ask the butcher to insert a piece of suet in the center of the roast, or, If he has time, to lard it with thin pieces of fat Another good piece of meat for roast beef Is the top sirloin, which Is not so cheap, but it is recommended because it has no waste. "The next important item on the meat bill is chops—either lamb, pork or veal chops. Lamb chops, however, are the kind mostly demanded, and. of course, the demand is for loin and rib chops, the most expensive. There is the same solution as with steaks—buy shoulder chops; they cost less and are sweeter. This same principle applied again to pork chops. The shoulder chops are very sweet and tender, and the butcher will sell them for less, but very few people know about them." To Make Okra Soup. Okra soup, or gumbo soup, can be made in a good many ways. For one kind make a rich stock from beef and veal bones strain and skim. Add to a quart of the stock a pint of okra cut In small pieces "and stewed with a pint of tomatoes and a pint of water until tender. Put in three or four teaspoonfuls of rice and simmer until it is tender. Then serve very hot This soup, of course, does not equal chicken gumbo soup, which is one of the most delicious soups made, but which ^takes four or five hours In the making and calls for chicken, beef, okra, potato, onion, rice, tomato, green pepper, bacon and several other ingredients. Linoleum Polish. Odds and ends of candles will make an inexpensive polish for linoleum. Use about equal parts of candle scraps and common turpentine. Place In a jar and stand where It is warm, until the grease is quite melted, then allow to cool, where it will be soft and creamy. Use with a soft cloth and polish with a second soft cloth. A little of the grease will go a long way. Cream of Com Soup. One can grated corn/ one pint boiling water. Cook gently 20 minutes, then rub through a sieve. Melt two tablespoonfuls butter.

Shepherd checks and plaids are quite as much to be considered as ever, for they, like navy serge, never actually go out of style; but this year they are entirely dependent on cut and graceful hanging from the shoulders for success. All coats, whether for separate wear or accompanying skirtB, are hung from the shoulder blades Instead of the top of the shoulder. It is an important note, since it at once Btamps the design as modern, and, moreover, is much more graceful than the latter. Three-quarter lengths are very much in order and are smart looking. All variations of the Norfolk are.popular.

You will enjoy a wonderful Skin restorative if you bathe the face, neck and arms every night with hot milk and water, which is a wonderful skin restorative, dry gently, with a very soft and fine face towel, and then apply a very little good face cream, with circular and upward massage movement© of the finger tips. Smooth the eyebrows and lashes with a modicum of pure white vaseline. In the morning again bathe the face with hot milk and water, then rinse with cold distilled water to which a few drops of toilet vinegar or lait virginal have been added. Dry thoroughly, always using upward movements, apply a little toilet cream, wiping off any superfluity with a soft handkerchief, dust on some good powder and smooth with a fine waeh leather. This simple treatment has really astonishingly beneficial effects in a very few days if persevered with. Ailing ones must, of course, be very careful to build up the general health; not by "cosseting," but by common sense pre* cautione. A nourishing but digestible diet, including plenty of milk, eggs, fish, poultry and beef once a day, as much fresh air and sunshine as possible, judicious but not strenuous exercise and plenty of rest in between, provide an excellent restorative regime to those below par.

PINCKNEY DISPATCH TO REMEMBER WHEN IRONING Matters of Consequence If One Would Do Good Work and Preserve the Clothes Handled. First of all the irons must bo immaculately clean and suited to the article to be ironed. Irons come now in all sizes, for all purposes. Heat the irons slowly, but have them very hot before starting, even if they must be cooled later. Try them on a soft clean cloth. The ironing sheet also must be clean. For fine lingerie cover the ordinary ironing sheet with thin material; for embroidery and lace use a Turkish towel, pinned tightly around the board. To stiffen articles slightly without starch rub them on the wrong side with warm water and borax. To clean the irons if starch sticks rub them over fine emery paper, then with a little paraffin wrapped In muslin. If an iron becomes rusty scrub it with hot water and soap, then rub it very lightly with lard. Wipe it carefully with absorbent cotton to remove all traces of the lard. Never allow irons to get red hot, as it takes the temper out. Do not put a hot iron in water to cool it; stand it on one side for a few minutes. It is unwise to put irons directly over the gas flame, as it spoils the iron. In the absence of a special device for holding them use an asbestos mat. When possible colored goods should be ironed on the wrong side, then pressed on the right This brings out the coloring. All-wool underwear ought not to be ironed, as ironing causes it to shrink. HASH MADE WITH SALT FISH Something of a Novelty, and One of the Best of Dishes for a Light Lunch. Cover one-half pound of salt fish withhold water, bring to a boil and drain. Do this three times. Cover again with cold water and boil until very tender. Pare six good sized potatoes and boil until soft. Drain. Add to the fish and chop together, not too fine. While the fish and potatoes are cooking cut two or three slices of fat pork Put in a fry pan, cover the pork with cold water, bring to a scald and drain. Return to the pan and fry until a nice brown, This makes the pork crisp. Take the pork from the pan and put it where it will keep hot. Now put the chopped fish and potatoes into the pork fat and return to the fire. Cook until well .blended with the fat, stirring lightly. When well heated through set back to cook slowly, running a knife around the sides and under the cake, which must be patted out nice and smooth and size of the pan, but do not stir again. When it Is a nice rich brown on the under side fold it over, exactly like an omelet, and serve on a hot platter. Garnish with the fried pork cut in small strips. This is fine and is rich and hearty enough with a vegetable of some kind and a dessert for dinner. Braised Veal. Take a pleca-oi shoulder weighing five pounds. Have bone removed and tie up meat to make it firm. Put piece of butter size of half an egg, together with a few shavings of onion, into a kettle and let get hot. Salt and pepper the veal and put into kettle, cover tightly and put over a medium fire until meal is brown on both sides, turning it occasionally. Then set kettle on back of stove where it will simmer slowly for about two and onehalf hours. Before setting meat on back of stove see if the Juice of the meat, together with the butter, makes gravy enough, and it not, add a little hot water. When gravy Is cold it will be like jelly; Serve gravy hot with hot meat or cold with cold But a girl who is an expert at making angel cake may have a demon disposition.

This will soften the scalp and give life to the almost deadened roots of the hair. If the hair is oily, use a small quantity of borax, ammonia, or salts of tartar in the water you shampoo the hair with.

IMPORTANT BASE BALL POINT Organized Base Ball Is Hard Hit By Ruling of United State* District Court of Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids, Mich.—Judge Clarence W. Sessions, in the United States district court, denied the application of the Chicago Federal league club for an injunction enjoining Catcher William Killifer, Jr., from playing with the Philadelphia National league club. The judge denied the application upon the grounds that the Chicago Federal league club did not come into court "with clean hands." Killifer made a contract with the Federal league club on January 8th and on January 20th made another one with the Philadelphia club. Both contracts are in form valid and binding, but the court held that a wilful wrong was done the Philadelphia club owing to the fact that the reserve clause of their 1913 contract with Killifer would have been carried out if the Federals had not tempted him with a much greater salary. The reserve clause is, however, held to be invalid under the law. This is the important point ef the decision as organized base ball has regarded it as a bulwark against the invasion of new leagues. The release clause is that part of a ball player's contract that gives his team an option on his further services at the termination of the contract. On this point the decision reads: "The leading authorities, with possibly one exception, are agreed that executory contracts of this nature can neither be enforced in equity nor form the basis of an action at law to recover damages for their breach. The reasons for the decisions are that such contracts are lacking in the necessary qualities of definlteness, certainty and mutuality. The 1913 contract between these defendants, relative to the reservation of the defendant, Killifer, for the season of 1914, is lacking in all of these essential elements. It is wholly uncertain and indefinite with respect to salary and also with respect to terms and conditions of the proposed employment. It is nothing more than a contract to enter into a contract in the future, if the parties can then agree to contract. Although it is founded on sufficient consideration, it lacks mutuality, because the Philadelphia club may terminate it at any time on 10 days' notice while the other party has no such option and is bound during the entire contract period. A contract exists, but, if broken by either party, the other is remediless, because the courts are helpless either to enforce its performance or to award damages for its breach. Railway Improvements for Manistee. Cadillac^ Mich.—The Manistee East & West railway, formerly the Manistee & Grand Rapids, is planning ex* 'tensive improvements on its line from Manistee to Marion to give direct passenger service between these points. At present a local runs from Manistee to Pightin, 20 miles from Marion, the roadbed making it impossible for the train to proceed nearer the eastern terminal. Thirty-five thousand ties have been purchased for the purpose of improving the roadbed, and these will be placed in May and June.

In other words, the proceeds of the bonds will be used to purchase a railroad and Garden will be the only township in Michigan owning a railway. MICHIGAN NEWS IN BRIEF John C.

It Is quite possible to go into many kitchens the first thing in the morning and find an alarming array of dirty pots and pans on which the remains of food cooked the night before has hardened and become encrusted on the inside. This means an enormous amount of really unnecessary work in the morning. Now, though it may not be possible for the cook, after a late dinner with guests attending, to set to work and to clean thoroughly all the utensils used, yet it is possible for her, as each is used, to fill it three parts full of boiling water, putting in with this a small lump of soda. Then after dinner is served all that it necessary is to empty the contents, rinse the pans well to remove all scraps of food left on the sides, dry them and hang tbem in the draft where the air can reach them. Next morning when the girl has more time, she can have some hot water and soda ready in a large dishpan. Then the pans may be dipped into this and rubbed off thoroughly with a cloth soaped and dipped in fine sand; then they should be well rinsed and dried and put back in their places. Should a pan have been allowed to burn and there are still some burnt fragments clinging to it, a little soda water should be boiled up in-it until all the fragments are loosened and then the pot should be scoured. RICE DUMPLINGS A DELICACY Cooked With Apples and Served With Cream or Other Sauce They Make Ideal Dessert. Pick and wash a half pound of rice and boll it gently in one quart of water till it becomes dry, keeping the pot well covered and not stirring it Then take it off the fire and spread It out to cool on the bottom of an inverted sieve, loosening the grains lightly with a fork, that all the moisture may evaporate. Pare half a dozen pippins or any other large, juicy apples, and take out the cores. Then fill each cavity with marmalade or with lemon and sugar. Cover every apple all over with a thick coating of the boiled rice. Tie up each in a separate cloth and put them into a pot of cold water. They will require about an hour and a quarter before they begin to boll, perhaps longer. Turn them out In a large dish, and be careful in doing so not to break the dumplings. Serve them with cream sauce, or with butter, sugar and nutmeg beaten together. 8WIM Lemon Pie. Even during warm weather this tidbit will be found palatable. Line a pie-dish with short pastry; slice one large lemon or two small ones very thin, removing skins, seeds and every vestige of white outside skin. Spread one-fourth of a pint of sugar over the pastry, then the lemons, evenly spread over sugar, sprinkle with dried currants and the grated rind of the lemon. Cover this with one-fourth pint of sugar, then lay strips of pastry in lattice form over this filling, baking about 15 minutes in moderately hot oven. When cold arrange a border on pie of seasoned cottage cheese moistened with thick, sweet cream. Mutton Roll. Pass one pound of lean cooked mutton and a small quantity of lean bacon through a fine mincer and place in a mixing bowl. Add half a teacupful of fine bread crumbs, a little finely minced onions, and a teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Whip one egg until light, mix together with the prepared meat, and roll into an oblong cake on a floured board. Tie this roll in a piece of buttered muslin and stew in thick brown sauoe for an hour.

She says: "Almost from the beginning of the use of coffee it hurt my stomach. By the time I was fifteen I was almost a nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no strength to endure the most trivial thing, either work or fun.

While dining at a Washington hotel he detects a waiter tn the act of robbing a beautiful Jroung lady. She thanks him for his servv oe and gives her name as Miss La Tossa, '"A Cuban patriot. Later he meets her at * ball. A secret service man warns Holton that the girl is a spy. Miss La Tossa leaves for her home In Cuba. Holton is ordered to follow her. They meet on the Tampa train. Miss La Tossa tells Holton ehe is a Cuban spy and expresses doubt regarding the sincerity of the United States-. Holton is ordered to remain at Tampa to guard the troop transports. He saves the transports from destruction at the hands of dynamiters and reports to Admiral Sampson for further duty. Holton is sent to General Garcia's command in the guise of a newspaper correspondent td> investigate Cuban plots against the American troops and to learn the plans of the Spanish navy. He detects a trusted Cuban leader in the work of fomenting trouble among the Cubans in the interests of the Spaniards. Holton la seized by friends of the spy and later ordered executed as a spy. He escapes and saves the American troops from falling Into a Spanish ambush. H e learns from General Garcia that the spy is Jose Cesnola, one of the most trusted leaders. Holton takes part In the battle at San Suan. Disguised as a Spanish soldier he enters Santiago, goes at night to the home of Miss La Tossa, where he overhears a discussion of the Spanish plans by leading army and navy commanders. He learns that the Spanish fleet will leave the harbor at Santiago on July 8. Holton eeeapes and arrives' in sight of the American fleet in time to see the admiral's flagship sail away.

Two or three faint cheers drifted shoreward, hut for the most part there was silence. Boats manned by American aailorB were about all the Spanish Teasels, which, having left the harbor so proudly and so defiantly but a little while before, were now merely smoking, burning wrecks. "Well, it Was over. What would happen now? The harbor forts were still to be subdued, and it was out of the question that Sampson would attempt to rush them this day. No, Holton could see that the army still had Its part to play, and that, as a consequence, his work was far from completed. His duty was perfectly clear; and while he was able to drag one foot after another, its stern behests were to be obeyed. His place was at Garcia's headquarters—the sooner he took it the better. After a last, lingering look at the scene below he turned inland, but had not gone more than two hundred yards when he realized that his sore feet were not adapted to rapid progress. In short, he felt that, as compared to his normal condition, he was but half a man, and a very miserable and pitiful half at that Still, with frequent halts he made his way toward the American lines, and by dusk he was again among the rifle»plte of the army. A flag of truce was wandering over the hillside, and In answer to Holton's query an officer told him that General Shatter was sending in word to Toral that, now the fleet was destroyed, he had better surrender and have done with further bloodshed. So everyone waited until the truce party returned - vfrom its mission. e't- They had not made, it was learned, great progress with the Spanish oomtwnder. He was quite content with the situation, he said, and, moreover, he had good information that the men from the United States were not doing vary well "in this climate. In a word, he/thought It advisable to oppose to the utmost extremity the advance of the Americans. A reply similar in Its nature had been sent to Admiral Sampson, who, as though in spite, dropped a few shells into the city, and then desisted In order to give Toral time for the thlrteai-lnch messengers to sing home. The destruction of Cervera's fleet was regarded as having simplified the task that lay before the Americans, bat no one knew exactly what the developments would be. The general surmise was that Toral would event nally surrender, and If that was the ease there was disinclination on the part of the brtgaoVoojamandars to ahed nnneoessary blood. In the morning Holton was awakened by a bombardment which oca* tinned for half an hontv The men In the tranches got Into action with their Kraga and .the Spaniards renponded. The result wen a spirited which ended en abreatt* as H ejritalasvmiC of "' - - - the Spanish lines, borne by messengers from Shafter sent to Inquire of Toral if he had not yet changed his mind about holding out. As Holton could see no special reason why the Spaniard should have changed his mind, he was inclined to regard the truce business as a joke, a sentiment which most of the officers shared with him. Toward noon he made his way along the lines, and, eventually, he located the Cuban contingent. Garcia was seated in front of bis tent with General Castillo.. He remembered. Holton and greeted him pleasantly. Yet he appeared to have something on his mind, and after welcoming the navy man he turned to his brother general and continued a conversation which the officer's arrival had evidently interrupted. Holton, not wishing to appear as an intruder, moved to one side. The soldiers were sullen and regarded the new-comer with evident dislike. He tried to engage several of them In conversation, but with no success. To a sergeant, who had turned his shoulder upon him, he said with some impatience: "What's the matter with you, anyway?" "You will find out soon," was the reply. CHAPTER XIII. A Night Rendezvous. Before Holton could make answer, a young Cuban galloped by on horseback. So lithe was he, so cleanlimbed, his uniform so spick and span, his face so handsome, that Holton turned to glance after him. He, too, was turning to gase at Holton, and now brought his horse to a sharp halt. Noting this, the navy man walked toward the fellow, feeling that he had seen him somewhere before but pussled to know where* The young soldier, with head turned over shoulder, nodded to Holton, and then, with a sweep of the hand, beckoned him toward a group of small palms, whither he urged his horse at a slow walk. The naval officer followed and came to a standstill beside the beautiful animal. The boy—he was little more—bent down and looked at Holton a moment Then he smiled and held out his hand. "You have been pointed out to me as Lieutenant Holton," he said. "Are you he?" Holton looked at the other steadily without answering.- A thrill passed over him. "I could almost say," he replied finally, "that you are Miss La Tossa in disguise/? "Yon would be pretty nearly right," was the laughing response; "I am her brother." "Oh!" Holton reached up and seised the lad's hand. "I am very happy to see you. Where Is your sister?" "At home. I stole In to visit her last night She wished me to find you and to ask you to accompany me to a place beyond Seville at once. She will await us on the road and will have something of Importance to say to you. I do not know what It is." "But—" Holton hesitated. '1 have Just come in from Santiago at some peril I have work to do here." The hoy smiled at him. "There will be no peril In returning with me. We Cubans,'1 he grimaced, "have a secret route into the city which has always been kept open. It is open now. You must come with me; my sister has news of great importance you must hear." Holton > needed no great Incentive to accompany the ^ther. He still wore hie Spaniard's uniform, with the addition of an army hat bearing the Insignia of "the Fifth Geres, and he felt himself sartoriaUy well qualified onee more to penetrate the ranks of the enemy/ if that were necessary.

To this officer Holton made his way. "Did you receive any word from the President?" he asked. The naval officer some days previously had requested General Shafter to solicit a message from the President disclaiming any idea of holding and annexing Cuba after the close of hostilities. It was well understood by Shafter, or rather by his aide, why Holton proffered the request Now, in reply to his question, the aide dived into his tent and emerged bearing a cable dispatch sent from Washington via Key West and Guantanamo. It was addressed to General Shafter and read as follows: "The President Btates herewith that hostilities against the Kingdom of Spain were Instituted with the sole purpose of liberating Cuba from Spanish rule. It is our wish that, thus free, she shall take her proud place among the republics of America." "Good!" exclaimed Holton, after reading the message. "Nothing ambiguous about that, is there?" "Not a thing," laughed Miley. "I suppose you want this." "It would be invaluable," responded Holton eagerly. "May I take it?" For reply, the tall, weather-beaten army officer handed Holton the cablegram. At sunset he proceeded to the spot suggested by young La Tossa. and found him already mounted and holding another pony by the bridle. "You are on time," he said. "This is your horse, and I suggest we start at once." For an hour they rode In silence, and finally paused in a copse of woods outside the little settlement called Sevilla. Here the young Cuban dismounted, and Holton did likewise, looking inquiringly at the boy. The latter smiled half mockingly, and Holton, advancing to him, placed his hand upon his arm, while he regarded the youth with curious eyes. "You make me think very much of your sister," he said. "Do I?" The fellow laughed. "You care for my sister, then?" Holton flashed back a quick glance at the boy. "Care for her! Look here, youngster, I care for her so much that if she doesn't look out I'm going to be your brother some day." A laugh broke from La Tossa. "I have heard her say pretty much the same thing," he chuckled. Holton took both his shoulders in a mighty grip. "You have I" he cried. "Quick now, boy, are you Joking?" The other wriggled away and placed his hand ruefully upon his shoulder. "You needn't crush my bones in," he grumbled. "Of course it's true." Holton leaped upon the pony. "Come on. Let's go to her." His tone was as ardent as a cavalier's. "Not now," was the laughing reply. "We must stay here until it is dark." Young La Tossa pointed toward a crumbling building. "Do you notice the peculiar shape of that roof?" he asked. "Well, I have Hottert Took Beth His 8houlders In s Mighty Grasp. an idea you will be in this vicinity later. If you are, remember the shape of that roof. Inside that very building—" He paused. "But my sister will tell you," he added. The darkness grew rapidly denser, untfl at last It was sufficiently black to suit* the wishes of the young Cuban. Mounting their ponies, the two turned in the direction of Santiago, and had Just entered a trail leading through low hushes', covering an immense area, when a man, gun in hand* stepped out in front of them. Holton's revolver leaped from Its holster, but his companion pot out a restraining hand. "Wen, Pierre r he asked sharply. -Miss La Tossa,- responded the man, "is here." A thrill shot through Holton, and he was on the ground in an instant The brother followed suit, and the next tnetanl the form of the girl tronxea Butt, Putnam Fadeless Dyes will fast until the goods wear out.

Moodily he saw the girl regarding him with luminous, smiling eyes. "I am so happy to know you escaped," she began. "Yes, thanks to you," was Holton's warm reply. She walked close to htm, then turned to her brother and to the Cuban. "Will you pleaBe leave us for a few minutes?" she commanded. "I muat speak with Mr. Holton alone." Holton said nothing, but waited while the two, thus adjured, moved into the bushes out of earshot. "Mr. Holton," she said then, with a little catch in her voice, "I don't know why I am doing this, but it is because I believe in you and in your country." "You are Justified, I am sure, in believing in both me and my country," replied Holton. "I am sure of it. Tonight, Mr. Holton, at Sevilla, in the building which my brother pointed out to you—he did point it out, as I asked him to, did he not?1' "Yes," nodded Holton, "he pointed it out." "In that building," she continued, "tonight, there is to be a meeting of officers high in the Cuban army, at which an immediate outbreak against the soldiers of the United States will be discussed." Holton started. "Garcia—will he be there?" he asked. "Garcia will not be there, nor Rabi, nor Castillo." Holton laughed. "Then," he declared, "the meeting will not amount to much." "Do not be fooled," was the warm rejoinder. "It will amount to a great deal. You know—or do you?—the condition of your army. Sickness is beginning." "Yes, but a majority are well, and I myself know the straits of the Spanish army, for I have been in Santiago. I myself have Informed General Shafter that Toral can muster at most not more than twelve thousand men, If that" "Yes, yes," she responded, tapping her foot impatiently. "I do not come here to argue, Mr. Holton. I tell you only this: Toral has not surrendered, because he knows of the threatened revolt of the Cubans against your men. He is waiting for that to happen, and will take what advantage may be gained from the result This may be serious. There are six thousand Cubans immediately upon the field. Their attack upon the American flank, coupled with the attack of the Spaniards upon the front, will drive your countrymen to the sea." Holton shook his head. "Why, MIBS La Tossa, this deed is suicide for your country. It can mean but one thing—the wiping out of the Spaniards and the Cubans, and in the end the very colonization you dread. For if this happens I cannot see but the United States will have the best sort of object-lesson to show that the last thing of which you are capable Is self-government." "That is true," she agreed. "I have come to realize it I had been led astray in my views. But now, thanks to you—and to others—I sec more clearly." He looked at her face, dim m the darkness. "And that is why you wished to see me?" "Not altogether," she replied. "Well, you must hurry, because I wish to say something to you, too," he reminded her. The girl moved impatiently toward him. "To night—I wish to ask you what I should do about the meeting. I alone of those not in the conspiracy know of it. What shall I do? Shall I send word to General Garcia? Is It better that you should inform Shafter—" Holton interrupted, "No, no, not Shafter," he cried. "The Americans must take no action that might precipitate any sort of a fight with the Cubans." "Well, Garcia then?" "A fight with the Cuban ranks would be almost as bad." "That is true. What then?" Holton thought a moment Then he looked up. "I will go to the meeting," he announced. "You!

There are few subjects on whfrh sc much "scientific" nonsense is talked "and written as on heredity. Not very znuch is known of It as regards plants, Jess of animals and almost nothing na regards humanity. To read books on heredity, especially those of the Eugenic society, is to read a mass of sup positions and hazardous inductions "where most of the facts are negative and only the exceptions are positive. The very meaning of "hereditary" is not understood. If any quality is truly hereditary then it is always he red! tary. It never occurs except as the remit of heredity, and It is constantthat is to say. it invariably follows But there is no quality of which this can be said. That genius is not hereditary is known. Even talent is not Nor is any aptitude. A. lawyer's son more often wants to be u soldier or an artist than a lawyer, notwithstanding the environment, and it is so with most professions. The exceptions seem t>> be due to training and influence, not t<» hereditary transmission. A superficial likeness to parents seems hereditary, but that is all that we can assert, and that outward 11 Ue Bess by no means infers an inw:\nJ likeness. There is nothing so eas.\ and nothing so fatal as this tendency to attribute to heredity what is due to training or want of training. It ox cuses suplpeness in governments and professions.—H. Fielding Hall In At lantic Monthly. Thin Cutting. When Irvin Cobb, the writer, was on the World he attended a ball game at the Polo grounds. The yard wns packed. Just before the game Harry Stevens, who had the refreshment privilege, strolled by the press box and called out to a group of which Cobb was a member: "Great crowd, eb, boys? I'll bet there's 0,000 more people here than they expected. I guess that means I'll have to go in and prepare about 4,000 more ham sandwiches." "Well," remarked Cobb, "that will pretty nearly necessitate the cutting of another ham, won't it, Harry?"—Everybody's. Green Liquid Soap.

When the Carlisle Indians Outwitted Harvard's Highbrows. In football a full field run from kick off to touchdown is a rare play. Once it was made by a Carlisle Indian, wuv covered the long distance in a game against Harvard, Oct. 31, 1903, and did so by the craftiest, wiliest stratagem ever perpetrated by a redskin upon his pale faced brother. The first half had closed with the Indians in the lead five points to none Harvard opened the battle by sending a long kick to Johnson on Carlisle's Ave yard line. The Indians quickly ran back to meet Johnson and formed a compact mass around him. Within the recesses of this mass of players Johnson slipped the ball beneath the bacU of Dillon's Jersey, which had been especially made to receive and hold the ball. Then, the ball thus secretly transferred and hidden, Johnson uttered a whoop such as Cambridge had not heard since the%days of King Philip's war, and instantly the bunch of in dlans scattered In all directions. Sonuj ran to the right and some to the left, some obliquely and some straight up the center of the field, radiating in all directions like the spokes of a wheel. The crimson players, now upon them, looked in vain for the ball, dumfound ed, running from one opponent to an other. Meanwhile Dillon was running straight down the field so as to give his opponents the least opportunity for a side or rear view and conspicuously swinging his arms to show that they did not hold the ball. Thus, without being detected, he passed through the entire Harvard team, excepting the captain, Carl B. Marshall, who was covering the deep backfield. Obeying instructions, Dillon ran straight at Marshall. The latter, as suming that the Indian Intended to block him, agilely sidestepped the Car lisle player, and as he did so he caught sight of the enormous and unwonted bulge on the back of Dillon. Instantly divining that here was the lost ball, Marshall turned and sprang at Dillon, but the latter waja well oa his way and quickly crossed the line for a touchdown.—Parke H. Davis in S t Nicholas.

More than once at a harsh word he had forsaken profitable work and gone home for sympathy to his wife. One morning Owen started out to help Glenn Butler, who had bought a new stump pulling machine and was preparing to clear a field. Toward noon Owen came back. Mrs. Mudge sighed and waited sympathetically for the explanation. "I just couldn't stand it," said Owen, rubbing his jaw.

DUDGEON. VOoyyrlj;ht. U14, Western Newspaper Linun. > WILL THE BANKERS REFORM? Copenhagen, Denmark.—The American banker must reform. If he does not he will be up against it as are others who refuse to mend their ways. The American farmer cannot get money of American bankers upon terms suited to his needs. He is going to* have the money from some source. If the banker will not give it to him he will organize a new kind of a bank, for you may rest assured that the American farmer is going to have an opportunity to borrow money upon some suitable basis. The Irish farmer can get money on favorable terms; the Belgian farmer cooperating with bis neighbors does his own banking; In Germany the cooperative banks do a bueiness that is astonishing in its volume; in Denmark it is easy to get money for buying a farm or for temporary investment in seeds, fertilizers or stock. The same is true of the farmer in Italy and France; even in benighted Russia farm credits are cared for by cooperative organizations. Do the bankers of America think that the American farmer is going to consent to continue to be the only civilized agriculturist who has no adequate borrowing facilities. That is not the American way. What, then, can possibly prevent the formation of co-operative credit associations all over America? Nothing, except the presence of some institution that will do for the American farmer what cooperative credit Is doing for the European farmer. If the American banker wishes to do the banking business of America so far as the farm is concerned, he and he a!on6 can give the fanner this sort of an institution and thus make co-operative credit societies unnecessary. It is up to the banker. Capital for Farming. \ Formerly when an American farm \:ould be acquired by living upon it, when horses and cows and Implements were cheap, and when fertilizers, blooded stock, and special high-grade seeds were unknown, a young man with comparatively little capital could begin farming. Now considerable capital is as necessary to success in agriculture as it is in the manufacturing industries. Every wise farmer knows that money judiciously expended in better stock, better buildings, laborsaving machinery, proper fertilisers, and good seed will net large returns. But it takes money to do theee things. Consequently there is a demand for loans. In America the farmer can seldom get a loan on terms that meet his needs. In Ireland, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Denmark, France, Italy and felsewhere upon the continent the I banks have forced the fanners to ortjganize co-operative credit societies. In many instances the government also bag aided the co-operative banks in obtaining money for loans. These societies are taking a safe, profitable ess away from the bank. Now when it Is too late the banks realize their mistake. ' To buy a farm there are a number of different methods open to the Danijish farmer. It must be remembered that in Denmark a farm it considered • • having live stock and implements need in working the land 1» •Bearably attached to it, hence the purchase price to be paid includes all frcsjulfnant necessary to the operation With*farm and all mortgages are ssewred Jml% pledge of this personal inspcrtjras weU a* of the real estate. If the would-be buyer has forty per cent, of the purchase price he may apply to a credit society for a longtime loan amounting to sixty per cent, of the value of the farm and all equipment and stock upon it. The loan may run from forty-five years to seventynine years. The borrower has his prospective purchase surveyed and assessed. He makes out a mortgage and delivers It to the co-operative society. This mortgage and hundreds of others like it are delivered to a trustee with a trust deed which pledges them as security for a series of bonds. The co-operative society guarantees t h a bonds also. It is from the sale of these bonds that the co-operative society obtains its funds. These co-operative credit associations have in the beginning no capital whatsoever. Each is simply an agency whose functions are to see (1) that the real estate security offered Is assessed at its true value; (2) that the title Is clear; (3) that the mortgages are properly executed; (4) that they are grouped, pledged and deposited with the " trustee; (5) that the trustee issues bonds; (6) that the land, buildings and equipment are properly cared for and their value is not permitted to deteriorate; (?);that the payments of principal and interest are promptly met Easy Repayment of Loans. The farmer pays from four to six per cent, of the principal amount each year. This is not wholly interest, however, for it includes a small installment of principal, for the mortgages are all amortization mortgages. Payment of this fixed sum annually or semi-annually for the fixed period therefor automatically discharges the debt A. small amount out of each payment is also set aside for reserve for the co-operative society and for an expense account It has been the universal experience, however, that the expense runs very low. Still Easier for tha Farm Laborer. There are other forms of loans even more advantageous to the borrower, particularly if he is one of the poorer farm laborers. If such a laborer seeks to become a land owner on a small scale he may under certain conditions secure a Joan for nine-tenths of the value of the proposed purchase, being required to advance only one-tenth of the purchase price in cash. The government furnished the funds for these loans. The conditions are (1) the borrower must have been engaged In agricultural labor for five years (women may take advantage of this law as well ae men); (2) the land must not exceed ten acres in extent nor $2,144 in value; (3) the borrower, and prospective purchaser must agree to crop the farm in a certain manner, dividing it up into five or seven fields and following a certain rotation of crops, thus insuring continued productiveness and preventing deterioration of soil fertility. Under these mortgages the borrower pays three per cent interest with no Installment* upon-the principal for the first five years. Then he pays, in addition to the interest one per cent, upon two-fifths of the-loan as an installment upon principal, doing this until the two-fifths of the loan n entirely discharged. Thereafter he pays an annual installment of one per cent upon the three-fifths remaining of the principal, this being in- addition to his three per cant .interest as before. The bonds n w . bo Issued upon, unstamped p e p * anc&Hft t r m Does the Danish farmer take advantage of these opportunities T Are the tenants becoming land owners? The facts are these: Denmark has 2,600,000 population, somewhat less than that of Chicago. It has about 500,000 families, including those in cities and villages as well as those In the rural regions. These co-operative credit societies have a membership of over 200,000; that Is to say, two out of every five families in the entire country are represented in them. Largely as a result of this credit system ninety per cent, of the farmers of Denmark own their own land. How Character la Capitalized. Obtaining a loan on personal security has been euphoniously termed "capitalizing character." It is not an inept phrase Blnce any farmer who has a good character, who 1« a sober, honest, industrious, intelligent, productive worker, has a capital that is considered a proper basis for credit and he can in fact capitalize his. character. His character is in very truth under these conditions his capital. Here is the way it is done here in Denmark: By the law* enacted in 1898 the government is authorized to turn over to the credit association $1,250,000, for which the associations account to the government at the rate of three per cent, per annum^ This sum is placed at the disposal "of the farmers' credit association in order that these associations may be ready to give small loans to their members. When any farmer finds it urgently necessary to secure a loan in order to meet expenses such as the payment of wages, the price of better seeds, or of artificial manures, or of feed for cattle, he makes application to one of these associations. In determining the amount of the loan to be granted to each man it Is the theory that the earning capacity of the borrower should be taken into account. This is thought to be best Indicated by the number of dairy cows which he owns. A member may thus obtain a loan to about $13 per head of cattle fed and milked on the place. The loans must be repaid in from one to nine months. Interest must not, according to the original law exceed 4¼ per cent per annum to the borrower. Danish Bankers Have Reformed. The fact that there are in Denmark many banks which are organized for the sole purpose of meeting the needs of the farmers has awakened the Danish banker to the fact that the rural credit is a big bueiness which he cannot afford to ignore. Compared with the American banker the Danish banker most decidedly has reformed. He does meet the needs of the farmer in a manner which would surprise Americans. This is particularly true of the method in which he assists in financing co-operative associations. When the big Trifollum dairy association was formed, for example, it was done in this way: One hundred farmers, most of them owners of large farms, formed an organization for the manufacture of dairy products and for the further purpose of supplying milk to the city of Copenhagen. These one hundred farmers were the owners of something like 12,000 cows.. While they individually had property, real and personal, they had no money which they wished to Invest in a cooperative organization. They therefore sent their leaders to the bank to borrow the money. They simply asked the bank for a loan of $125^000 on the note signed by these leaders. The bank did not require the other members af the association to sign the note, although by the terms of the agreement into which all had entered in the formation of the co-operative association all were liable, jointly and severally, for the debt contracted at the bank. As a matter of course the bank made the loan to these farmers at a low rate of interest. Can Banks Supply Rural Credit? I have said it ie up to the banker to supply the American farmer with loans similar to those supplied to the European farmer. But there are those who say that the joint stock bank can never meet the farmers' needs as do co-operative credit societies and that co-operative credit will come in spite of all the bankers can do. Dr. Charles McCarthy Is of this number. He bases his conclusion on these grounds: First, no joint stock bank can afford to tie its money up for long-period-loans as do the credit banks. These deposits are all shorttime deposits. They have no way of hypothecating one series of loans In order to raise money for another series. Second: No money-making concern can possibly serve the farmers as do cooperative credit societies whose sole aim is to aid the borrower and to protect his interests. But in agriculture a system of rural credit cannot be a substitute for brains and business sense and a marketing system. Unless the farmer produces a good product and sells tt to advantage his farming will be a failure. Easy loans will only make it t> bigger failure. Cooperative credit is important hot with it must oome a better aystem of marketing either oo-operattve or otherwise, which, will give thaiarmer more than half what H paid torts* fajin-piwdnot An0 so tar as we can learn joo^paratlre mar- KEEP EFFECT IN MIND W A L L DECORATION J8 WORTHY OF MUCH THOUGHT. On the Proper Selection and Hanging of Pictures Depends Much of the Beauty of the Room—How Best to Display Them. Very few people know how to hang pictures. This may seem a sweeping statement, but one has only to notice the different walls round about—perhaps in one's own home—and the sweep will be verified. In some rooms in which I have been I could be almost sure the pictures had been hung by the participants in a donkey party, each picture being tacked at random by a sightless one, and by no means near the donkey!— here, there, everywhere, with no reference whatever to form, color, design, ornamentation, unity, but rather a proposition of no many pictures, so many bare walld, so many tacks, and up they go, with the result looking much so. Now, while In most cases a plea could be made for more regularity, too much regularity (the wrong kind) is just as bad, writes Ethel Davis Seal in the Philadelphia North American. I remember once noticing the peculiar effect produced by a large picture and a small one exaetly beneath it, repeated seven or eight times in one room, with no hope of a change in sight to relieve the monotony. It was ae trying on the nerves as a constant striking on one key on the piano. Besides, it cast reflection on the originality of the picture hanger. Even worse is the overworked diagonal placing of pictures. While this is occasionally good the occasion is only the exception which proves the rule, and I might almost say that you should never put one picture a little to one side beneath another picture. And this seems the favorite placing on the walls of most amateurs. If you "know that you don't know," do not be afraid to hang just one picture of fair slse In whatever space you have under consideration and condense all the little pictures you feel you must have on one wall. This brings me to one of the serious faults to be found sometimes with the pictures themselves: they are too small and insignificant This can, in some cases, be overcome by condensing them. With this idea In mind, glance at the arrangement of the pictures over the drawing of a davenport. Immediately one receives a pleasant impression caused by the harmony of design. The no£ all be figures, but In spirit they should not be incongruous. You will see exactly what I mean when I toil you that I once saw the picture of a little boy whom nobody loves and who is disconsolately considering going oat in the garden to eat worms hanging directly under Hoffman's head of Christ FINE THREE-PIECE COSTUMjE In Style and Material This Is One of the Most Serviceable That Has • Been Designed. At almost any tima-of the year It would be difficult for a semi-smart three-piece costume, as shown here, to fail of service. The two shaped flounces, or godets, as they are most* ly termed, surmounting the slim, plain skirt, are afforded an original touch by the introduction of a square emplecement In front, stitched with the same small braided buttons as are six or more small pictures are grouped formally enough to form one unit, and one is not annoyed by a spotty htt-ormlss effect, which a more careless disposition of these same pictures would surely give. The space above the davenport might be correctly filled in other ways. The three lower pictures might be dispensed with, in which case the three larger ones should be lowered. Or one large picture could fill this whole space. In gathering a number of -pictures into a group some attention should be given to the subjects, and ridiculous combinations avoided. They need not all be landscapes, and they need LETTING OUT BABY CLOTHES Matter That Should Be Kept in Mind When, the Garments Are First Planned and Made. In making frocks for the baby the 'letting out" that win inevitably be found necessary in the course of a few months should always be provided for.

To make it, allow two or three inches more on the length of the garment than Is needed for tha ordinary wide hem. Make this tetter hem in, the usual way, finishing tt with a row of machine stitching; then turn tt up on the wider aide until the frock is of the required length for immediate wearing sad ham it on the) maebja* w«h a rather large and loose stitch.

Dainty but Durable Bamboo. Novelties in bamboo furniture are among the desirable articles which a woman can pick up to help furnish her rooms. Aside from their being prettily decorated, they are Btrong and firm, built to withstand a great deal-of hard usage. But their chief attraction lies in their remarkable lightness which enables the^nome-maker to move them from one end of a house to the other without any strained lifting. This is due largely to tho almost imperceptible weight of their hollow bamboo frames, which are covered with the finest straw matting. .' An extremely-heat desk for a Girl's boudoir shows large pink peonies scat* tared here and there over the surface of the matting. Book racks, bureaus, and all sorts of oddly shaped tables are also decorated to match. tucks run in them by hand, to be let! out as occasion may require.

The State Fair association has again made the same offer it did during the last two years, regarding paying the expenses of a boy from each county to the state iair. Any boy between 14 and 18 years of age may compete. The county eighth grade examination counts one-half and an agricultural examination of 20*question prepared by the fair management composes the other half of the test. The boy with the highest average is chosen. One of the most difficult tasks in newspaper offices is getting the facts relative to births, deaths and marriages in the community. Many people take it for granted that when a person dies, the editor is familiar with every detail of the deceased and his activities, when a* a fact he knows absolutely nothing about him, but he has to get his information from other sources, same as other persons would have to do. It is the same with regard to marriages or other more or less important happenings in the community. In almost every case the editor has to dig np particulars or to satisfy himself and the readers of his paper with a meager and inacurate account. The average editor of a county paper has something like a million and a half of things to do and think about in a week and patrons can hardly over estimate how much ht appreciates any effect they make in furnishing him th* la*te for news items, bat they •Hftld bo furnished at once and aafcwsfc* week or two to see if he^rifl have i t Fr. <3oyle was a Jackson visitor Saturday.

Sir Wtfliam Hamilton was an authority on Kooiun and Grecian antiquities. His One collection of them and bis great book on the subject prove that ussertiou. He wrote to Wedgwood about that much admired work of ancient art (the Barberini vase) in thetie terms: "Except the Apollo Belvedere, the Nlobes and two or three others of the first class marbles, I do not believe that there are any monuments of antiquity existing that were executed by so great an artist." This is about the highest commendation that could be bestowed, and when we consider that such a work, so soaringly eminent, was successfully Imitated by one of our own artist potters it is Barely a ground for national gratification. The original vase came into the possession of the noble Italian family or Barberini, hence its name. It was acquired by Byres, the antiquary, and then by Sir William Hamilton, who brought it to England in the year 1784. He, in turn, sold it to the Duchess of Portland. Her descendant, the fourth duke, deposited It In the British museum, owing to which fact it is best known to Englishmen as the Portland vase. It was lent by the duke to Wedgwood to make his copy from. The body of it had been much disput ed, but he found that it was glass. He was not a glassblower, but had invented his wonderful Jasperware by that time and decided his copy should be made of that substance. It was a tremendous task and took some three years in the modeling by Hackwood and others. The cost was never recouped by the subscriptions. It is justly esteemed to have been Wedgwood's masterpiece. It has been reproduced by his successors and by other potters, but, of course, they have not the same market value as those made by the great Joslah himself.—W. Turner in Westminster Review.

For some time past the de facto government of Mexico has seemed to think mere apologies sufficient when the rights of American citizens or the dignity of the government of the United States were involved and has apparently made no attempt at either reparation or the effective correction of the serious derelictions of its civil and military officers. Orderly Placed In Jail. "Immediately after the Incident at Tamplco an orderly from one ot the ships of the United States in the harbor of Vera Cruz, who had been sent ashore to the post office for the ship's mail, and who was in uniform and who had the official mail bag on his back, was arrested and put into jail by the local authorities. He was subsequently released and a nominal punishment was inflicted upon the officer who arrested him, but it was significant that an orderly from the fleet of the United States was picked out from the many persons constantly going shore on various errands, from the various ships in the harbor, representing several nations. Official Dispatch Withheld. "Most serious of all, the officials in charge of the telegraph office at Mexico City presumed to withhold an official dispatch of the government of the United States to Its embassy at Mexico City, until It should have been sent to the censor and his permission received to deliver It, and gave the dispatch Into the hands of the charge d'affaires of the United States only upon his personal and emphatic demand, he having in the meantime learned through other channels that a dispatich had been sent him which he had not received. United States 8!ngle4 Out "It cannot but strike anyone who has watched the course of events in Mexico as significant that untoward incidents such ae these have not occurred in any case where representatives of other governments were concerned, but only In dealings with representatives of the United States, and that there has been no oocaslon for other governments to call attention to such matters or to a*k for apologies. "These repeated offenses against the rights and dignity of the United States, offenses not duplicated with regard to the representatives of other government*, have necessarily made the Impression that tba gorernment of the United States was singled out for manifestations of 111 will and contempt/* THE INSULT FOR WHICH REPARATION IS DEMANDED Thursday morning, April 0, a boat's crew of United States marines, In command of Assistant Paymaster Charles C. Copp, left the gunboat Dolphin for Tamplco to get a fresh supply of gasoline. The United States flag was flying from the stern of the whaleboat when It approached the landing in Tamplco. For no assigned cause Assistant Paymaster Copp and his men were placed under arrest as they stepped ashore. Surrounded by a detail of Mexican Federal troops they were marched up and down the prlnoipal streets of the city, and finally taken to the police station, where they were locked up. One report of the affair says the United States flat; was snatohed from the stern of the whaleboat when the arrests were made and carried and subjected to the jeers and hisses of the anti-American populace. There Is no denial of the fact that the prisoners were made the subjects of an anti-American demonstration, though at the time of their arrest they had just stepped from a boat flying the United States flag, were wearing the uniform of the United States and were conducting themselves in an orderly manner. After the Americans had been detained several hours, word of their arrest was carried to Rear Admiral Mayo, who demanded their immediate release. The demand was complied with, but the only reparation mads was* a bri^f expression of regret tor t h s aflagsd mistake. • Tie Dtffarsfio0t l a these days, when a man thinks be has won his ladylor* It Is a east of hit or miss.'* •Bi the primitrvs ttass wh*a a maa knocked dow» the gM he fanolsl tt a ease of J* —* - * - > KUERTA DEFIES UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT Mexican Dictator Refuses to Salutd Flag as Ordered by Pres. Wilson TROOPS WILL PROCEED TO OCCUPY MEXICAN CITIES Congress Authorizes President to Use Army and Navy for Forcible Occupation of Republio of Mexico. Washington—Gen. VIctoriano Huerta, provisional president of Mexico, flatly refused Sunday night to accede to the unconditional demands of the United States that he salute the American flag, and congress has authorized President Wilson to use armed forces to uphold the honor and dignity of the nation. Negotiations with Huerta over the demand for a salute in reparation for the arrest of American bluejackets at Tamplco on April 10, came to a close Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, the last hour given by President Wilson for a favorable response from the Mexican dictator. The final word of Huerta to Charge O'Shaughnessy was a refusal to comply unless the United States would guarantee in writing that his salute would be returned. The crisis thus reached does not mean there will be a formal declaration of war,, because the United States could not declare war againBt a government which it does not recognize. President Wilson has authority, however, to send the armed forces into Mexico, to seize first the ports of Tamplco and Vera Cruz and the railroad trestle leading from Vera Cruz toward Mexico City. The president held a cabinet meeting Monday 10:30 o'clock, when the final arrangements for a pacific blockade of Mexican ports and other steps in the president's program were deliberated. The breach that 'finally has come with Mexico will make it impossible, It was declared on high authority, for the United States to further protect foreigners in that republic and foreign governments have been notified of the situation in this regard. WHI Occupy Mexico. MaJ.-Qen. Leonard Wood, chief of staff, is under orders from the president to proceed to Galveston and Texas City to take command of the forces of occupation in the movement on Mexico. A very important distinction is drawn between an army for an invasion and an army for the occupation of Mexico. Mexico is not to be invaded. It is to be occupied and this movement is to be extended until Huerta comes to terms. The first step will be the bellger* ent blockade of all the Mexican ports. Then Tamplco and Vera Cruz, and it Was learned some of the other Mexican ports, are to be occupied by a force of marines from the fleet These ports will form advance bases for the army which, if the dictator does not come to terms, will follow. The army will also be. sent into Mexico if the dictator permits the people in Mexico to commit any outrage against American and foreign citizens. Gen. Wood Will Govern. Under the command of Gen. Wood, the army will, if necessary, penetrate Mexico to Mexico City and on arriving at Mexico City, Gen. Wood in all probability will become military governor of Mexico^ in addition to being the oommander of the army of occupation and the blockading fleet This will be the third time in the career of the former -colonel of the Rough Riders that he has assumed this role. He was governor-general of Cuba, and organised the existing government of the Island; later he was sent to the Philippines, where be became the military governor of the islands.

Replying to Holtoh's warning that She must do nothing that would place her in a dangerous position, Miss La Tossa laughed. "It is nothing, I can assure you," she averred. "This Is really a small matter." "Well," grumbled Holton, "I hope so, but I shall go with you." "You shall not," she replied emphatically. "But—" "My dear Mr. Holton, there are no huts—you cannot, cannot, cannot come." "This much I shall do," returned Holton with decision. "I shall accompany you to Sevilla and will remain hidden in a place where I can hear you call if you want me." She laughed. "My bold cavalieF"—her voice was gentle—"so you shall. And If I want you I will call." "Good!" Holton moved to his horse. "Shall we be going?** At Sevilla, which consists of about three buildings, or rather did consist of three buildings in those warlike days of 1898, Ramon took the road to hie camp, while Miss La Tossa, Holton, and Pierre urged their horses In the direction of the building whose roof the young Cuban had pointed out earlier in the evening. Perhaps fifty yards from this structure rose a thick growth of bushes, and here Miss La Tossa halted. "You will remain here, Mr. Holton," ehe said, ."and Pierre will accompany me." "Ton will call me if you need met*' asked Holton. "Yes, truly. And in any event, I shall come to you here after I have spoken to my countrymen." "All right Good luck." Sue kissed her hand gayly to him, or at least Holton so Interpreted her gesture, bat dimly seen in the darkness. He was Quite certain that he kissed his hand to her. Fastening bis horse, he waited, listening; for perhaps ten minutes. But hearing nothing, his natural impatience asserted itself, and crawling out of the bushes he disobeyed the girl's injunction* by working his way nearer the building. He finally made quite certain that there was nothing on that side- of it, and crawling to the corner he peered in. And here he saw things. First ta*re was a fire, and aroond It were gathered, he Judged, about fifty Cuban officers and soldiers. Their faces were somber .and their msnosr oortentons. Nea?4he fare stood Miss I A Toes* tasking mtsnafrrtly to s o * As she spoke, however, a man in the uniform of a captain rose and clapped his hands. The men to whom the girl was speaking withdrew their attention from her, and as a matter of fact she, herself, appeared to make no effort to hold them. On the contrary, as soon as the officer clapped his hands, evidently preparatory to speaking, she walked away from the group and gave her entire attention to this man. "Countrymen," he said, "I think we all recognize that in the event of the success of the Americans, Cuba will receive no benefit whatever. It will be a case merely of changing masters. And as for me, between the Spaniards, from whose stock we sprang, and the Americans, the Yankees, who are utterly alien, give me the Spaniards. We have already felt their,heel; we know what their scorn is, and their contempt"—the man was lashing himself to a fury—"I, myself, was shouldered out of the trail by a young pig of an officer not five days ago, and when I drew my sword, a pig of a Yankee private knocked me down with his hand. Is this friendship? I ask you, brothers—Is this what we were led to expect from our friends of the north, our saviors, our deliverers?" <. \ "But, Juan," interrupted an elderly captain, "that is all personal. I/myself have felt the contempt which the Americans feel for us, but £ should be willing to suffer more than contempt for my country's freedom. I have already suffered, as you know, at the hands of our oppressors. Contempt is very mild and easily to be borne when our liberty is the reward for it. If you have nothing more than narratives of personal affronts to give us, I for one shall not be very much impressed." "Bah!" The voice of the first speaker rose almost to a shriek. "I— I put my personal feelings above my patriotism! So you say! That—that was merely my beginning. Wait until I have finished and then let me hear your sneers, if sneers you have left." "Well, well, go on, I am "waiting," answered the older man. "So," resumed the speaker, "we all know what this generous nation of Yankees, this nation so given to establishing freedom throughout the world, intends to do with the Philippine Islands. Their newspapers leave us no doubt as to that Imperialism! That is the cry in the United States. They have received their I j f Trtth bared hsnflsand frttirr Near the Fire 8tood Miss La Tossa. taste of aggrandizement—and the taste is good. Have you been deaf to the talk-about the American" camp? What is the word you hear oftenest among their officers? I'll tell you: 'World-power!' That is what they say: 'World-poweri' •• • A sort of low cry went the rounds of his bearers, and Holton could see that the speaker was bringing them one and all beneath his spell. He sat down, looking gloomily at the ground, paying no attention to the round of hand-clapping thai attended his peroxattosw" tot a moment no one, stirred. It apfeared as tbojagh afl^weso «*«»%f»s: digesting too elcquenos that bad been poured' mt*4b^e*j»s. Then aaojfe*? *ttt0ft leaned ssmvtf New Wlllard, o»me tonight to place the capstone utxra the spell he had been weaving among the officers of the Cuban army. "Brothers," he began, "I came here tonight to counsel prudence, and, in fact, I do so counsel yqu now." • Hoiton's face filled with amazement What was he getting at? In a few moments he found o u t "I do most earnestly counsel prudence," he continued. "There are things that must be borne. The soldiers of the United States have come here. Well, good. We brought them here. At least, so It would appear. "Of course, we believe that these men were sent here because of the great yearning of the United States to see us a free, unshackled country. And so they have come down here to set us free, and then, having done BO, to retire with a blessing, and to contemplate with pride the growth of the republic, free and untrammeled. "So much we know. The Spaniards will be driven from the island, and then will these Americans^turn to us and say, 'Behold, here is your country; take it and develop it, and make it great, and may God be with you.' So I say prudence. "But, on the other hand, there are some of us who may possess wellformed doubts as to the truth of the beautiful word picture I have painted for you. Yes, there are many who doubt damnably. Has the United States ever been known to talk one way and act another? To those who know the political history of that great nation, I need say no more. To those who do n o t I say that governmental policies in the United States are fickle jades, blown willy-nilly by the winds of public opinion—they are valueless as things to depend upon; they are trivial even to consider. And yet"—he raised his hand to still a rising growl of voices—"and yet, still I counsel prudence." "Why?" roared a hoarse voice from the darkness. "Why? I can answer you simply. Because we are weak. We have been in the field fighting for several years. But we are not soldiers. At least the Americans say so. You have heard them— One moment," as the murmur arose again. "Oh, no, we are not soldiers. But the Americans are. We know that. They are soldiers who have Bold cloth and beans and sugar, and perchance may have sold guns! And so they are Boldiers—soldiers that we do well to fear. So again I advise prudence, always prudence. "If they leave us our country, good; but If they elect to retain it as another of their possessions, whjr, good, also. For what can we do? They will be kind to us. They will feed us so that we do not starve, and they will put trolley-cars—" A fierce yell interrupted him, and, although he raised his hand, he could not again regain attention. Nor had he need to. He had done his work, and done It well. One man arose, holding aloft a sword. "My countrymen," he yelled, "if by tomorrow night I have not plunged this into the breast of five Americans, I shall plunge it into my own throat" A wild cheer greeted his words. Then came a lull suddenly, as though the men were Beeking outlet for their emotions. And Cesnola was there to give it to them. He held out his hand. All eyes were fastened on him. The^first word had fallen from his mouth when the voice of a woman, raised in thrilling cadence, wiped additional utterance from the spy's lips. As Holton looked the girl sprang to the speaker's side and held out her hand. And as she stood thus, the naval officer never forgot the picture. "My countrymen," she cried at length, "I have listened to all who have spoken, and I have observed you. I have wondered whether the fever has got into your brains, and whether you are children led hither and thither by the idle words 61 plotters." Cesnola sprang in front of her and pushed her roughly aside. "I resent this intrusion!" he shouted. "I resent the presence of this woman—" What more he would have said may only be surmised, for the girl, her eyes biasing, turned to the audience, and, with finger Quivering a t the spy, she said: "That, man pushed me, my country— men^ Is there no one to avenge me?" Her voice was quiet, almost unemotional, and she looked calmly around the circle. It was plain to see she was beloved of these men; but it was equally plain that the spell of the spy's words lay about their minds in serpent coils. She paused. _ "I seel Chivalry has departed from among us. I, must myself wipe out this gross Insult" So saying, and before anyone could move, her ridjng*whip flashed in her hand, and slro struck Cesnola a, blind* ing blow across the face. From the sneer shook he went down as though hit by an ex. But ho sprang to bis feet on the instant, his tsce livid with rage, bis hand upon a long busting* knife, • J * another second HoMoa would hove boon * t *&• girl's side; but becsoJeV ssoro, a balf-doson revolvers flashed In the hands of Cuban officers, and the deep voice of the elderly captain broke the stillness. "Stop, Senor Cesnola. Remembex who you are—and remember it well We have listened to you, and now we will listen to the beautiful and spirited penorita." Miss La Tossa Broiled radiantly. "Thank you," she replied. "I have no burst of eloquence to give you, men of Cuba. I say merely that you have been badly advised, misled, by those whose interest it is to mislead you. And, further, I do nothing more than this." She flashed aloft President McKinley's dispatch, and then handed it to the Cuban captain, who read it and then in silence passed it around the circle. At length, as it was about to go into Cesnola's hands, Miss La Tossa intercepted the paper and extended it to an officer whom she knew. "I do not wish this to pass into that man's hands," she said. "Will you read it to him, major?" The officer complied, and then returned the dispatch to the girl with a bow. "Gentlemen," cried the young woman, "can you ask more than that?* A cheer—not a general cheer—but still fairly satisfactory in its strength, greeted her words. As it died out Cesnola stood forth, raising his hand. He regarded the girl malignantly. "Let us know one thing," he snarled. "Where did you get that message? Are you—" Miss La Tossa stamped her foot "Silence!" she cried. "To you I "You Lie, You Hound." shall not speak another word. If any gentleman"—she emphasized the term —"if any true Cuban"—this word yshe also emphasized—"wishes to question me, I will gladly respond." "Well," replied an officer, "we ask you, then, to answer the statement just made by Senor Cesnola." "It is easily answered," she returned quickly. "I am not in General Srafter's confidence. He darns' not give to me his private messages—" "And you received this, then—" queried the officer. "From an officer who possesses the confidence of General Shafter not only, but of President McKlnley." "He Is a Cuban officer?" suggested the questioner- "He—" "Ah!" Cesnola sprang forward. "Allow me to tell you who he is." Then, without heeding the girl's remonstrating voice, he ran on like a wild man:, "He is an American naval officer who has been spying among us throughout this campaign and before. You know I was in Washington and In Tampa before the Americans declared war, and you know much that I saw and heard there has proved of value to us. "I declare to you that this man Holton was sent among us to disorganize us, and to prevent any effort on our part to throw off the American yoke once we saw it settling upon our necks. He was in Garcia's camp two days before the Americans landed, and he was there In the guise of a writer for an English newspaper. If he had not designs against us, why did he not appear in his true colors? Would not Garcia have received him? "After the battle of July 1st he was in Santiago. He was in this girl's house, unknown to her father, and he was assailing this girl with caresses— which she accepted until interrupted by her fathers friends—then he leaped through a window, followed by a bullet from her father's pistol." "You* lie!" \ The voice fairly drowned out Cesnola's wild tirade; and as be recoiled from the unexpected interruption, Holton appeared from out of the darkness and stood in the firelight pointing his finger at the spurious Cuban. "Ton lie, you hound! You were the one who was in the house of this glrL and with you"—be turned and faced the officers—"were General Toral and Admiral Cervera.

Roman Meat Pudding May Be Recommended aa One of the Most Satisfactory Substantial Dainties-— Gibiet Sauce. , Roman Meat Pudding.—Boil half a cup of broken vermicelli in salted water for ten minutes. Drain. Mince tine any cold cooked meate such aa chicken, veal, mutton or beef and add] a cup of cold soup, gravy or soup) stock. Season nicely, add one beaten* egg, three tablespoonfuls of tomato* sauce or thick tomato pulp and thet vermicelli. Season with a tablespoon-i ful each of minced onion and parsley, and more salt and pepper if necessary.; Have ready some macaroni, boiled tender in salted water. It should be broken in three-inch lengths and about a pint of it prepared. Grease a plainmold or bread tin and line with t h e macaroni. Put in the prepared mince„ cover closely with lid or tie in floured; cloth and steam half an hour. Serve hot, with an ordinary white or cream' sauce. Olblet Sause.—When the chicken is placed In oven to roast, prepare the giblets—heart, liver, gizzard, neck, tips of wings. The French, creole or Missouri cook also uses the bead and feet, carefully cleaned and skinned— for they have a great deal of "goodness" in them and give body to the broth and sauce on account of the gelatin they contain. Break the bones of feet, head and wings and take only the four tender fillets from the gizzard, and do not cut the gizzard open at all, thus avoiding the contact of the meaty part and contents of the gizzard, unless, perchance, you are one of the very thrifty and provident housekeepers and have learned from some old mammy or Tante Zoe to preserve the lining of chicken gizzards for use In making your Junkets. Be careful to remove the gall sack, without breaking, from the liver. Cover the glblete with cold water and cook them gently while the chicken roasts. When done, chop fine and return to the broth, in which they are cooked. Stir this Into the brown gravy made in the pan after the chicken is dished up. If you want an extra touch to the gravy, chop six button mushrooms and six parboiled oyetera and add to the gravy a few minutes before serving. Snow Padding—This Is a little troublesome, but is a very delicate and refreshing dessert, and especially suited for serving with a rich or heavy dinner. Soak a quarter of a box of gelatin In a quarter of a cup of cold water -until soft. Then dissolve in a pint of boiling water, with a cup of sugar, adding the juice of one large or two small lemons. When sugar and gelatin diesolve, strain into a basin and chill as quickly as possible, stirring frequently until it is cold enough to begin to congeal: then whip to a stiff froth with egg whip or beater and fold in the whites of three eggs whipped to a stiff white foam. Pour Into a pyramid-shaped mold or into custard cups, and set in a cold place until next day. This quantity will serve two meals for a small family. Turn-out and pour a cuetard around It. Chicken and Potato-Croquettes Mix two cupfuls of mashed potatoes with two beaten egg yolks, sea* son with salt and pepper and cook until mixture will leave the side of the pan, then set aside to cooL Mince a cupful of shredded chicken with half a cupful of blanched almonds, add seasoning and enough rich milk t o hold ingredients together. Spreadi the potato mixture in flat cakes, fill4 the centers with the chicken mixture and roll into/balls. Fry in deep fati after crumbling in the usual manner. Home-Made Sirup. J Put one cupful of granulated sugar; into a frying pan or iron skillet anot melt it without water, stirring constantly to keep from burning. When, melted have ready one pint of boiling water and add it at once. The sugar win form a hard cake, but the water will run under it and keep it from burning. Now add one and one-half cupful of sugar and boil until the melted sugar is dissolved. This makes a golden brown sirup with a delicious flavor and costs much less than any cheap brand one can buy.

IStS EUGSNS A. 8TOWE, POLLUTED WATER. Cheap and 8imple Method by Which It May Be Purified. The beat thing to do with polluted water la to keep it out of your mouth and wait until you can get some pure' water. Of course a man might starve to death in some places following that advice, so here is t h e next best thiny" to do. Disinfect the dangerous water. Here is the way to do It. Dissolve a teaspoonful of chloride of lime In a cupful of water, making sure that all lumps are thoroughly broken up, then add three more cupfuls of water. Stir the mixture well and allow to stand for a f e w seconds In order that any solid particles may s e t t l e This mixture, if kept ki a tightly stoppered bottle, may be used for four or five days, when a n ew solution should be prepared. Add one teaspoon ful of this milky looking solution to each t w o gallons of water to be purified and stir thoroughly in order that the weak chlorine solution will come iu contact with all _ t ^ bacteria which may be present Allow this to stand for ten minutes. This will give approximately one-half part of free chlorine to 1,000.000 parts of water and will effectually destroy all typhoid and colon bacilli or other disease germs in the water. The water will be without taste or odor, and the trace of !ree chlorine will rapidly disappear. This method is one which is now recommended in the health literature of the country. Water s o disinfected is not dangerous so far a s the chloride of lime is concerned if allowed to stand for ten or fifteen minutes after applying. The chief danger is that not enough disinfectant will be applied t o render t h e water safe i n all instances. Marks of Social Distinction.
