Pinckney, Livingston County, Michigan, Thursday, December 10, 1914 • & > , .••••• BEST WAY TO PUT UP A CHRISTMAS TREE &^S&^&:i>^ ANAPP THE best and easiest way to put up a Christmas tree has never been patented or published—in fact, it is so simple that it could not be patented. Having failed one Christmas eve to provide a suitable foot or base for tbe family tree, necessity compelled me to invent one, because the two youngest members of the family would not hear of Christmas without a tree. - So I sawed the butt of the tree square, then trimmed off a few of the lowest branches and set the tree in a good sized stone Jar. The jar was then filled with stones, pebbles, pieces of brick and coal. All this material was packed down firmly and the position of the tree so adjusted that it stood per fectly straight. When the tree was in position little Gretel had a happy thought "Let us give the tree some water," she said, "just as if it were a big flower." And we filled the jar with water. Then we covered the stones with bits of silver tinsel and artificial snow, and now our tree looked as if it was actually growing in a big jar. From time to time, as the water was drawn up by the tree, we refilled the jar, and the result was that we kept our tree green and fresh for. a. month. Since that year our Christmas tree is always put up in that way, and we can keep it as long as we wish. A tin pail, a tub or any deep vessel can be used to take the place of the stone jar, and pieces of coal or coke can be used instead of stones to bold the tre<- in place. t|i4i>jnjiiti*}i»t»»t<'|'>l"'lH't"<,<"l"t'^>t"t>'>">,4',3H$t*^^ Because It's Chris'mus | »+>h <> <•» * i >X> * * * < • • ' > • >t"M"H«4"M"fr ES' because it's Chris'mus I go smilin' on my way, An* jes' because"tf s Chris'mus I am kindly-like an' gay.

Women fill plates with wheat, which are well watered and then put in the sunshine or in warm ashes to germinate. If S t Barbara's grain grows well or ill so will the coming harvest be. Later comes the cutting of the Yule log. Tho oldest man of the family cuts a fridt bearing tree—almond, apple, oak or pear. The grandfather uses the ax, and then the son finishes the work. The log is five feet long and is expected to burn, if covered all night, from Christmas eve to New Year's day. Before the eating of the great supper the youngest members of the family light the log. The little gayly painted "creche" and other small, inexpensive clay figures are found in every home. Before dark Christmas eve the children go out to look for the magi. They carry with them confectionery for the mngi, figs for the servants and hay for the tired camels. They also put up sheaves for tho birds, and the wealthy send out donkeys laden with bread, meat, figs and almonds, which arc sold for a few cents fo the poor. The nougat pie or pudding of almonds and honey is on the table for the great supper. G E T A L L T H E F U N Y O U C A N v O U T O F C H R I S T M A S .

And yon can make tee tor the home tree that will be •very whit aa good aa one bought A grocery box and a few box boards, •fine cloth oorering material, a hammer and * saw, are all tha:> required In making the tree base ahown in rig.L An oblong box 10 lnehea deep, 22 inches wide and 26 inches lonb' was u*3d for this base. Fig. 2 shows the first step in its construction—the forming of a pocket in the bottom of the box to receive the end of the tree. Thie is made with two pair of boards nailed together crosswise as in Fig. 3. Any boards of narrow widths will do. Cut pair A exactly as long as the inside width of tho box, and pair D exactly as long as the inside length of the box. For the end of a tree of medium size, the pocket Bhould measure two and one-half or three inches square. This means that the strips should be placed two and on>b :£ or three Inches apart. If the pocket proves to be a bit too large, the end of tha tree can be wrapped with a strip of cloth or paper to make it fit tight This pocket frame does not require fastening to the box if it is made to fit snugly. The bottom pocket holds the end of the tree in position. A similar pocket in the top of the box is necessary to keep the tree from toppling over, and this is made by fastening one pair of boards between the sides of the box even with the top edge (C, Fig. 4), then crossing them with a pair nailed to the top of the box (D, Fig. 5). The base can now be completed by oorering it neatly with cloth, but it win have a much more attractive appearance if you slant the sides as they i#«&&; ['A* *£•.:• ;>••••• < • : ' • *£.'. .#•:".

HOMK-MAOI TRIMMING* FOR THE CHRISTMAS TRIE. It ia lota of fun trimming tho Christ* mas tree with home-made ornaments, much more fun than with tho kind yon buy in stores, and planning and making tree ornaments that will bo both novel and attractive provides Interesting work for several days. In the illustrations below are shown several clever forma of ornaments that are easily made. The tip of the tree should be crowned with a single ornament, and a double five-pointed star made after the fashion of that shown in Fig. 1 is most appropriate. The double star U prepared in two pieces out from a cardboard box (Figs 2 and 8). Mark them out alike with ruler and pencil, making the distance between opposite points 5 inches. Cut them with a knife or scissors. Each star must be slashed so one will fit over the other. Slash one as shown in Fig. 2, from point A down to B, which is one-half of the distance from A to C; and slash the other as shown in Fig. a, from C up to B. You will see that by now crossing the pair of stars, and slipping the slash made in each over the uncut portion of the other, the star ornament will be put together to look like the one In Fig. t The cardboard must be covered with tinfoil to make it nice and shiny, but before putting this covering on, cut two slender sticks for a support, fasten TO SANTA CLAUS Santa Claus, Santa Claus, Are you truly true?

When fastening tho star to tho tree, run tho ends of the sticks far enough below the tree top to enable you to bind them securely in position. The four lower points of tho stars serve excellently for attaching tho tipper ends of tho ornamental chains to, that go to make up a largo portion of tho trimmings of a tree.

Two cranberries strung on the thread between every five or six kernels of popcorn make a pleasing variation in the popcorn chain idea.

His home and truck farm are on the Conecuh river banks. By an alarm device he continues his plowing and other work without danger of his fish escaping when hooked. On the ends of the trot lines he fastens small bells. When they ring during his work hours or in the night he steps down to the river and pulls In the fish.

The deeply religious sentiment if the country makes the religious ob« flervance of the festival Its dominant feature. The humblest habitation wears an air of cheerfulness when decorated tflth holly and ivy, from which the red berries which grow on the holly Jieep out in great profusion. In the Catholic churches in the larger cities and iu many of the smaller Jjjaces as well masses are celebrated Itourly from midnight on Christmas eve, thousands flocking first to the midnight mass and later to those that follow. Even in the penal days, when It jfteant death for a clergyman to perform the holy sacrifice or for those $ h o assisted at it to be caught in attendance, the midnight mass was never abandoned. When the churches were destroyed by Cfoinwel! and Elizabeth the priest took refuge beneath some protecting rock, and with scouts among the flock ^jirown out to £uard against surprise by the soldiery the mass jvas offered 4jp as it had been in the earlier days "Si Ireland's religious glory. Today, happily, there is no such ban on the religious faith of the people, find the throngs who then flocked to the glen or the mountain side to assist Jn the holy sacrifice can attend their religious services in comfortable churches Everywhere throughout the land. On Christmas morning, especially in $be rural portions of Ireland, the peo- Z}}e flock to the morning masses, often traveling eight and ,ten miles from their homes in the remote hills and Tftileys of their respective parishes. S h e goose hangs high in Ireland on Christmas day, and no family Is too* feoor not to provide the delicious bird. On Christmas night the waxed bless- ¾candle is lighted in honor of Christ's tivity, and music and good cheer of «^ery kind are enjoyed everywhere. The day following* Christmas, S t §tepben's day, is also regarded as practically a holiday. It is mostly availed <fr by the young people, especially the >ys, for fun and frolic of every dejrlption. Athletic sports, football matches, hurling and other enjoyments are general.

Speare, Pinckney Grand Trunk Time Table Anna Katharine Green. for some years, was an actor in the company of Booth and other tragedians. The author made her first well-sustained literary reputation with "The Leavenworth Case/' which still stands pre-eminently among the world's big detective stories. It was staged and added new emphasis to the dramatic qualities of the author's rare storytelling ability. More than thirty publications followed, and now, after all these years of steady writing, comes "Dark Hollow," the new serial we are about to publish, every bit aa baffling and exciting as were the first fruits of her tireless pen. It is a capital and engrossing mystery tale, with a new depth and seriousness that carries with it a truth that only could, be felt by one whose keen observation had been measured by life valueB.

Today it U confined to Queen's college, Oxford, and one or two baronial houses. The reason for the custom surviving nt Queen's is. according to tradition, on account of a valorous deed performed centuries ago by a Queen's scholar. He was walking iti the tields study lug his Aristotle when a wild boar rushed at him open mouthed. With great presence of mind the student crammed the book down the animal's throat, and it was thus choked to death with philosophy; hence the survival of the boar's head at the college of which this bold scholar was a member. No titter setting for a ceremony that links up the twentieth century with the past could be provided than the cloisters and dining halt of Queen's college. Queen's, wuone foundation dates back to HMO. was the college of the Black Prince, Henry V., Cardinal Behufort, Addison, Wycherley and many other famous men. The procession of the boar's head is formed up at the buttery. At its head walks the soloist, a former scholar of tfie college. Next comes the boar's bend. This is borne on a silver salver upon the shoulders of two stalwart servitors. The great head presents a Quaint nnd handsome appearance, being surmounted by a glittering and bejeweled crown and decked with frills of gilded bay and rosemary. Between the tusks is placed a golden orange. Flags bearing the college arms and devices are fixed In the head* Immediately behind the great* dish comet the college organist wearing the brilliant robes of an Oxford doctor of mask* and followed by his surpUced choir of men aad toys. Ueaswhile the* provost of the colo_ f"tne TairTn the midsFof the"prfnci pal guests, says a Latin grace, after which the dinner call is sounded in the cloisters upon a trumpet. Then wHh stately pomp the procession slowly advances from the bntlery. through the cloisters nnd into the great dining hall, and the soloist sings the proclamation: The boar's head In hand bear 1, Bedecked with bays and rosemary. And I pray you, my masters, be merry Then the choir sings in harmonious chorus the curious old Latin carol: Quot *on<s In convlvio. Caput aprl defero, Reddens laudes Domino. By the time the carol Is finished tht> procession lias reached the dais, and the boar's head is deposited on the high table. Then the provost, or. in bis absence, the senior officlnl of the college who is present, removes the flags, which are used year after year and are of considerable antiquity, and presents to each of the principal guests n portion of the gilded evergreens. The remainder is eagerly scrambled for by the other guests. After this prelude the dinner is served as ordinarily .save that the most valuable and antique silver plate and pew ter are used, special sauces are served with the meats, and borne brewed ule and queen's own special beer, a liquor of greM;*potency, are served, in the valuable old tankards.

Killing Cooking Odors. No odor of cooking should greet the guest in a private home or even an apar. nent which claims to be of the exclusive class. A simple and agreeable deodorizer may be made of a handful of cloves, allowed to scorch with bits of orn*nge peel on a tin plate in the oven, says the Kansas City Star. This mixture Imparts a fragrance not unlike that of carnations, and. scattered about the rooms. It wfll completely destroy the odor of cooking vegetables or roasting meats. In the country the wise housewife may gather sweet clover, nnd the sprigs, dried out. will impart a fresh and delicious fragrance to the house linens all next winter. lavender, that standby of oldtlme housekeepers, may be purchased In lltye bags at trifling coat and makes a delightful fragrance for the linen closet—Exchange. The Fourth Officer. "I've been on a bridge of a ship; since 1 was fourteen. I don't knowi how to breathe inside a bouse," nej said. One has to lead some kind of life, and as I sat there thinking it occurred to me that, even if it was poorly paid and a t times lonely, there was something very sane and useful and' good about the life of the fourth officer. In a little while he would look at his watch and exclaim a trifle dievidently, but with an unmistakable resumption of authority: "It's 10 o'clock. You must go now." Then he would almost instantly fall asleep, sleep for fonr hours, spend four more alone with the trackless waters and the southern stars, bathe, breakfast and begin another day with a fit body, clear brain, steady nerves and untroubled eyes,—Flandran's Essays. : : . . i The Pest of Danger. The Stair de Jotnvills in his memoirs of St Louis tells us that a certain man, sort beset by the pressure of temptation, sought counsel from the bishop o^.Paris, "wheat Christian name was wnUam." And this wise William Constantinople. Constantinople was known as Lygos until 668 B. C. when it blossomed forth into Byzantium and bore that name for close on 800 years. Byzantium, like Rome, was built on seven hills, and this resemblance led Septimus Sere ras to rectiristen it Nova Roma. On making the cifcv the capital of the Roman empire Constantine the Great bestowed his own name upon it, and ever since It has been known as Constantinople in the western world. This name, however.

Age of the Christmas Card, Could you say offhand how old is the Christmas card which is now making Its annual appearance in the shops? It Is younger than most people imagine, for its age is only about seventy years. There would seem to be two claimants (both fanion*) to the honor of having Invented i t According to some, Ccthbert Bede designed the first card When a student at Durham university in 1845. and designs of bis circulated among his friends for two yean befqre the printers conceived the Idea of offering similar cards for sale to the general public.

Christmas trees are furnished princl pally by two families of trees—the spruces and the firs. The spruces are the more bushy looking trees, with numerous small cones near tbe top. I All through northern New England. i northern Michigan. Wisconsin and Miuj nesota the spruces form vast forests fcest bargains fq OUR4HT PURSES The black spruce grows in swamps. ' where few other trees can live, while i the white spruce competes with the ; noble pines for higher and better soil. ', Every year millions of young spruces i are cut in the northern forests and i shipped to the cities and prairie states in carload lots. If the woodsmen can ! find a stand of young firs they take them also. The firs look more refined ! and less bushy, and their green leaves J often stand away from tbe slender : branches like the teeth of a comb. While the use of Christmas trees has come to us from Germany, the custom • of decorating our houses with holly and : mistletoe originated in England. Hotly. The home of our American holly is In the woods of New England and the Allegheny mountains. In the north it Is a small evergreen shrub, but in the south it sometimes grows to be a tree fifty feet high. With its glossy green ; leaves and bright scarlet berries the holly is an object of beauty in its na- ! tive woods as well as in our fashion- I able flats and churches. The hand ot ; man has never cultivated this beauti- I ful shrub, at least not on a commer- ; cial scale, but the wild birds are attracted by its bright berries. They eat the scanty pulp and scatter the seeds I far and wide. While some species of holly grow as far south as Texas and 1 westward into Missouri and Arkansas. ! the great forests of Michigan, Wisconj sin and Minnesota contain not a sin- \ gle species of these beautiful p.hrubs. Mistletoe. A queer kind of plant is the inlstle I toe. If one saw it for the first time h<- • might mistake it for the common i witch's broom \\Miich is familiar to e\ I ery northert woodsiunn. In reality j the mistletoe is a parasite which grows J and lives on other trees, such as maple, poplar and tupelo. Its white fruit is eaten by birds, and the small seeds are accidentally dropped on the braIK tiles of trees. The seeds adhere to the I bark, and if they happen to have been I planted on the right kind of host they , germinate and send a kind of sucker ' like growth into the bark and wood ! of their host, and a new mistletoe i plant begins its life and grows nt the expense of its host, from which it de- ! rives nearly all Its nourishment. Our j Christmas mistletoe is restricted to the < middle and southern states! growing from New Jersey to Missouri and south as far as Florida and Texas, but is not found in the northern states Several species of mistletoe, however, do occur in our .western forest*. Christmas Greens. The most humble plant of this happy season Is the small plant known as Christmas greens or ground pines It is a close relative of the ferns and mosses and. like these, occupies the shady nooks and places of the forest floor, where it trails and twines anions the roots of the stately pines. It never produces any flowers or true seeds. Its small heads, which look like tiny ears of grain, afv filled with a yellow dust This dust h carried away by the wind or shaken out and carried off by the gentle touch of squirrels, rabbits and other woodland folk. From this fine dust the new plants grow. Pew of us who enjoy the cheer of these Christmas plants do ever meet them in their native haunts In winter; we can only study them where they grow when we take om> summer outins to the northern woods and to tbe mountains.

Whether you take advantage of it or not, it is one that merits your best consideration* for it not only offers you an opportunity to save a substantial sum of money, but provides- you with eleanv wholesome reading. And, this offer is of special interest at this time because of the long winter months that are now with us. This is the time of the year when, the days are short and the nights are long. They give our friends plenty of time to read, to gather about the fireside in the evening and discuss those topics which are of mutual interest in every household—the war, politics, women's interests, business conditions, winter sports and the thousand and one things that come up in the course of an evening at home. The offer will not last forever. In fact, it is limited to a short time only and urge you to take advantage of it at once. Newspaper bargain opportunities like this don't knock at your door every day. By this special arrangement we can also offer this combination to residents of Pinckney, Hamburg and Gregory.

It never produces any flowers or true seeds. Its small heads, which look like tiny ears of grain, arV filled with a yellow dust This dust h carried away by the wind or shaken out and carried off by the gentle touch of squirrels, rabbits and other woodland folk. From this fine dust the new plants grow. Few of us who enjoy the cheer of these Christmas plants do ever meet them in their native haunts in winter; we can only study them where they grow when we take our summer outing to the northern woods and to the mountains. best bargain? fq OLIDAff PURSES Iff ill Iff Jtt Iff Ul Iff * Ik Iff iff Iff iIlffl Iff Iff •Iff § Iff HI ill A Few Suggestions: W A T C H E S Ladies Open Face and Hunting from $6.00 up.

Whether you take advantage of it or not, it is one that merits your best consideration, for it not only offers you an opportunity to save a substantial sum of money, but provides you with clean, wholesome reading. And this offer is of special interest at this time because of the long winter months that are now with us. This is the time of the year when the days are short and the nights are long. They give our friends plenty of time to read, to gather about the fireside in the evening and discuss those topics which are of mutual interest in every household—the war, politics, women's interests, business conditions, winter sports and the thousand and one things that come up in the course of an evening at home. The offer will not last forever. In fact, it is limited to a short time only and urge you to take advantage of it at once.

This question is undoubtedly running thru your mind constantly. Probably many of you have already answered the question inyour own minds but it is more than likely that few, if any, have been thoughtful enough to make your selections now. There are only 12 more shopping days to Christmas, and every day sees more and more Christmas shopping. Of course you are going to make some presents, and why not make them now. The Christmas stocks are ready for your inspection. The merchants are ready to wait on you and there will never be a better time than NOW to make your purchases. Begin this year, if never before, to cultivate the early buying habit. You will profit by it, and the tired and weary store clerks of the holiday week will rise up and bless you for taking some of the strain off of that truly soul trying period. Just buy what you want, and tell the merchant to lay it away for you and he will gladly do it. You have got to buy those presents. Why not begin at once? In other words we urge upon all of our readers to SHOP EARLY! OTHER STAMPS DELAY MAIL. Uncle Sam issues a warning against the use of Christmas and other stamps on mail. To avoid the complications which arose last season, when the holiday mail was delayed because similar warnings were disregarded. The following instructions were issued : "No adhesive stamps or imitations of stamps of any form or design whatever, other than lawful postage stamps, shall be affixed to the address side of domestic mail matter, but such adhesive stamps, provided they do not in any form or design resemble lawful stamps, and do not bear numerals, may be affixed to the reverse side of domestic mail matter. "All domestic mail matter bearing, on the address side, adhesive stamps, or imitation stamps, other than lawful postage stamps, will be returned to the sender, if known; otherwise, they will be forwarded to the division I of dead letters."

Result of Fighting There, It Ic B* llcved, Wltl Have Decisive Etfect on- Conflict—Beth Sides Claim Success —engagements Along the Veer Con* tinue—jQermen Repwlee Reported. Paris, Dec. 5.—General Joffre has given the order for an offensive movement along the entire battle line in France and Belgium to drive the Germans from France, Flanders and Alsace. Re-enforced by 400,000 British and many French troops, his army now equals in numbers that of the Germans. Kaiser Returne to Berlin. London, Dec. 5.—The return of the kaiser to Berlin is regarded here as a sore indication that German expectations of an early success in Poland have been effectually blocked. The kaiser, who will make only a brief stop in the capital, has been on the eastern battle front for nearly a week, and it is assumed he would have remained to witness the victory of his troops had one been in near prospect The tremendous conflict in Poland continues to hold the Interest to the practical exclusion of the other arenas of war. In fact all the other military operations apparently are hinged on the outcome of the titanic struggle between the Russians and the Austro- Gertnan armies. Conflicting reports continue to come from Petrograd and Berlin regarding the fighting, but through them one fact looms. The battle of Lode has ended and with all the signs pointing to at least a tactical victory for Grand Duke Nicholas. Germans Lose 100,000. The Bourse Gazette of Petrograd has received a dispatch from a correspondent with the Russian army that the battle of Lodz has ended in victory for the Russians. He asserts that great numbers of German prisoners and many cannon and machine guns are being brought to Lodz. Petrograd newspapers publish the statement that the Germans lost 100,- 000 men in fighting their way out of the trap set for them at Lode and have been unable to renew the offensive on account of terrible losses and exhaustion. Lacking the confirmation of the Russian general staff, there is a disposition here to accept these reports with reserve, particularly since the latest Russian - official announcement admits that the Germans have been heavily re-enforced from Silesia and are forcing the fighting in some areas. Three Miles From Cracow. Without doubt the Russians have been vigorous in front of Cracow, and the news indicates that the five forts are being shelled. If the czar's troops are numerous enough Cracow can be masked as the Germans masked Mauibeuge and they can pass the fortress Into southeastern Silesia, ; Nine miles southwest of Cracow and 'three miles from the line of forts lies [the small town of Wlelcska, which is jbuilt over a fantastic underground city of salt mines. A short railway bears the produce of the mines to Cracow. The Russian soldiers of General Dimitrieffs conquering army have reached this town and are now preparing for a siege of the last Galiclan fortress. Germans Lose Heavily. The Russian official report indicates that there is little hope of a relief for Cracow from the south, since the Russians have passed through the Dukia pass into Hungary and the Austrians in Galicia have been scattered and driven back, through the mountains. Assert German Success^ . Berlin (wireless via Sayville), Dec 3—General headquarters reports the following facts about-the German sue- ' cesses near Cods: The Germans were serious]? threat* ened In the rear by stron^Raseian forces advancing from the-east and south. The German troops faced about and succeeded in cutting their way through the Russian ring. ^ In three days of fortius fighting, they captured 12,400 Russian prisoners and J9 guns, without losing a single gun ef their own. .. , Nearly rail' 'the German' wounded have been brought home. The losses, of course, were serious, but not enor- Indeed, this was one of the Baas* mffltaty successes of the entire war. : / * • > ' • ^,. The aJBjpttf' ha* visited Ms troops in, theirpoattJeai-<*•** Oembianen and Derkehsje*. , Petrograd, Dec 8.—The to the northwest of Lowles have abandoned their active defensive under pressure from the Russians, who are well above Ptotak on the left bank of the Vistula. All the German columns north of Lode are falling back toward the frontier. At midnight and in the early morning hours of today the Germans north of Lods in massed .columns made a succession of most furious onslautftts against the Russian position. This was their final attempt The military commentator of the Russkl invalid ascribes the failure of von Hindenburs/s effort in Poland, which was Intended to culminate In a determined outflanking of the Russian position, tc the fact that .ts preparation was too visible and Its execution too slow. Hence from the early stages of the fighting, the Germans had to use ill their energies to parrying counter-maneuvers by the Russians, who had seised the general initiative. Ruse Surround Besiegers. Writing of the campaign around Lodz, the Moscow correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "Lodz, the most important industrial town in Russian Poland, has been closely besieged, the Germans inclosing it from the north, east and south. The Russian army was as in a sack, but rallied with great power, resolution and heroisnr in order merely'not to escape from the difficult position, but to rout the enemy. ""*"" "At the moment when one portion of the Russian army was resisting most violent attacks of the Germans upon the city, other troops were turning their right flank, while a third portion, after a circular march, struck a blow at the rear of the enemy. Thus the Germans, who had endeavored to surround the Russians, found themselves surrounded. "Nevertheless the German army outflanked and pushed to the rear, made supreme efforts to pass by Lods from the east and south. A fight with the bayorfet began. There were skirmishes even in the outskirts of Lods, where barricades had been constructed during lulls in the fighting. Stake All on Lods. Petrograd, Dec. 2.-The Germans, apparently for the time being, have staked the whole fortune of the eastern campaign on the Lodz venture Siberian regiments thrice charged the Rzgoff positions before the Germans evacuated them. In some of the trenches the dead were piled many deep. Shrapnel and machine guns played a comparatively small part in the fighting, which mostly was handto- hand with bayonets and butt end of rifles. In the fighting Siberian Cossacks acquired further glory. No obstacle stops tbem. Where other troops hesitate, the Cossacks burl themselves forward and sweep all before them. The Russians owe the victory at Lodz to the Siberian Cossacks. Engagements In France. London, Dec. 3.—The right wing of the French army defeated the Germans all along its front in several violent engagements along the Moselle river, in the Vosges and In Alsace on Wednesday, according to delayed reports which reached the war office today. The midnight communique from Bordeaux states that this is the only official news the war office has to relate, but unofficial reports, coupled with the afternoon official statement, convey details of furious engagements being fought by vast numbers in Flanders, where the battle of the Yser has been resumed with increased vigor, and north of Arras, where the Germans are making desperate efforts once more to make good their vow to break through to Calais by December 10. The Germans anticipated a concert* ed forward movement by the allies in northern France by making spirited attacks themselves, which so far have met with no success. The attack extended more or less along the whole line, but was concentrated principally to the north of Tpres and on toward Dixmude. In the dark hours before dawn yesterday a large force of the Germans crossed the flooded waters of the Yser by means of big broad rafts. The venture wei a desperate one, but not a man who set out could have been ignorant of the fact that death almost certain was awaiting him. The rafts were punted through the shallow waters in almost dead silence and in utter darkness.' Each carried fifty to .sixty men and some of them were equipped with rapid flrers. In preparation for dawn, a further fleet of rafts drawn by motor boats was watting on the German side of the muddy waters, but the plot was discovered and when daylight arrived the artillery, of the alBes met the advancing Germans with devastating effect Yet, in spite of tbek Jossce, these Germans, brave even to madness, sun assayed the crossing. They ware partly covered by a- heavy cannonading from their field artillery and nntti midday the Germane persisted ts tba LODZ IS TAKEN BY GERMANS IS BERLIN CWM Important Town in Russian Poland Occupied By Kaiser's Troops FOLLOWS THE BLOODIEST BATTLE OF ALL HISTORY! Victory Is Considered Important Part ef Campaign to Capture^Warsaw Which Is Thought to Be Next Move. London—Lodz was occupied by the Germans Sunday, after several days of the most terrific and sanguiary fighting of the war, according to an official statement given out in Berlin Sunday. This is considered to give the Germans a great advantage in their third attempt to march on Warsaw, which is about 75 miles east-northeast of the captured city, and is regarded as a part of the German plan to break up the Russian center, which has rested on Lodz, by a forward drive and enveloping movements on both flanks. That these enveloping attempts are being made is indicated in reports of fighting about Piotrkow and How, to the north and south of Lodz, respectively, although the official reports from Berlin and Petrograd have been meager, the former, prior to the announcement of the occupation of Lodz, simply saying that "the battle about Lodz is taking its course as expected/' while Petrograd early Sunday morning stated only that the battle was still in progress. Lodz Is Important City. Lods, a city of 416,604 population, is the chief manufacturing center of Russian Poland. It has numerous textile mills, the majority of them for the manufacture of cotton goods. In addition, it has flour mills, dyeing establishments, brickyards, machinery plants and breweries. On the operations of the next few weeks depend not merely whether or nor Russia is to seize Silesia and go forward to Berlin, but whether or not the Allies in the west are to maintain the offensive. By exertions which dwarf any previous efforts, Germany has repaired her terrible losses between the Warthe and the Vistula, has withdrawn battered armies from the very jaws of the Russian trap, has hurried vast numbers from East Prussia, Posen, Silesia and evens from Belgium and France; has solidified a battle line which stretches from Mlawa on the frontier of Bast Prussia and Poland to Gracow, and is obviously ready and determined to brave the terrors of winter and the superior numbers of the Russians, in a third endeavor to seise Warsaw and the whole Vistula line southward to Sandomlera. From a battle front of 300 miles, in which there are few gaps that are not amply protected by nature, the Germans are poised for the new attack which will certainly produce the most sanguinary and ferocious battles the world has ever known. Rumania May Enter War. Geneva, via London—The Journal de Geneve publishers a dispatch from Bucharest which says that Rumania has definitely decided to entert&e war on the side of the allies. This decision, according to the dispatch, is In accordance with the wish of the entire country including King Ferdinand and all the Rumanian statesmen with the exception of the minister of finance, M. Marghiloman.. The question of when Rumania will make her entry into the conflict Is still being discussed, however, one side desiring to avoid a winter campaign, but the military authorities express the fear that Servia may be defeated before the spring. The attitude of Bulgaria still remains doubtful. Greece, Servia and Rumania have proffered certain con' cessions, which, however, Sofia seems not to consider a sufficient inducement MARKET QOOTATKWS Live Stock, Grain and General Farm Produce.

Remove from the oven and allow ft to stand on tin sheet until quite cold. Ice with a thin coat of white Icing top and sides and stand in a cool oven to dry, then give it a second coat of thick icing and ornament according to fancy.

"pa, sir." The tone was politely •agjftiiiiiilttal. :;•* ,^pw^o you know what a stepmotb at. m, Thomas r - ^ I t o , sir." *-^jbe head master looked surprised. Before he came to Rushington pre* mrthtrr school his world had consisted of cook, James and the housemaids, with rare glimpses of a delightful individual called father. "Well—er—your stepmother is your—er~your father's second wife" "Tea, sir." Again the tone was polite, but. uncomprehending. "That will do, then, Thomas. That was all I wished to say to you. You may go." "Yes, sir." The blue eyes lit up wl(h sudden Interest "Please, sir/' eagerly, "are they nice, sir?" The head master again regarded the youngest boarder over his spectacles. "What, Thomas?" . "Stepmothers, sir." "Er—some are and some are not. Yours probably will be." He thought of the handsome, perfectly mannered gentleman who was Thomas' father, and corrected himself. "Sure to be," he ended. "Yes, sir." Thomas shut the study door after him and wandered off toward the scbfolroom. He had a new possession—a stepmother, but 'he was not quite sure whether it was a creditable one or not In the schoolroom was William with a crowd of boon companions. William was a boy of prestige. He was the tyrant of his form—It was Thomas', too—and he had a fa* ther who had shot a lion. Thomas approached him. . "I've got a stepmother," he announced. The reception of his'news was flattering. William's mouth opened to its fullest extent "What!" he roared. "A stepmother? I ear, you chaps, Thomas gorra stepmother." Thomas was Immediately the center of an admiring crowd of small boys, to whom he solemnly confided his ignorance on the article In question. There was a babble of voices. "Why, they're big, ugly black worn* en." "They beat yon." "They starve you." They lock you up in dark rooms." Thomas received the information stolidly. In the same way he received all subsequent glances of envy or sympathy. 9or Thomas life suddenly changed. All the rest of the term he, was the central figure, the observed of all observers,* William regretfully, but of his own accord, relinquished his position. The head master had patted each Individual head, and shaken each individual hand, and .hoped that each in* dividual pupil would be a good boy during the holidays, and there they were on the platform, waiting for their trains. There were, many parting presents Thomas from pitying, sympathetic boys who were going borne to kind mothers and nurses, instead cruel stepmothers. In the train Thomas' feelings were those of pleasurable excitement He £acf never beenstarved, he~<had certainly never been locked in * dark room, he did not remember ever-baling been beaten. •' .',•(/-«/'",.-'....;•"--•::. Ail these sensations would have the a t o m of novelty. At the station he leaped, out eagerly. Was she there? ov there was no ugly, black woman the platform; only Jamef ansT the at the gate. The drive home-was also exalting.

"Well, 1 think she's on the lawn. Go and say bow do you do to her." Thomas went out and gaced round. No, there was no stepmother there— only a princess with goldybrown hair, and a soft white dress. "Are you a princes*?" he asked. She turned end looked at him, from hie tousled head down to his little brown knees, and smiled wistfully. "No, I'm not" she said. "Oh!" Thomas seemed to lose all further Interest in her, but he looked anxiously round the lawn. "Where is she?" be asked at last in an eager whisper. -Who?" smiled the lady. "The stepmother." "I'm the stepmother," said the lafly. Thomas turned and surveyed her speechlessly. He gated at her masses of soft rippling hair, her tender, hasel eyes, her delicate oval face. "You!" he,said, incredulously. His disappointment was obvious. The stepmother flushed. "Then—then—you won't beat me, or lock me up, or starve me?" said Thomas in tones of heartfelt regret She laughed tremulously. "No, no—of course not." "They said you would," he said, reproachfully. "How silly of them," she laughed. - "But what 'zactly is a stepmother? They never really told me. I had a real mother once," he said with pride, "but she went to heaven. PYaps," with a sudden inspiration, "you're her come back." "No, no^" she said. y _ She knelt down as near him as she dared, and put oneliand timidly on his little brown knees. "I'm just a stepmother, and we'll be great friends, you and I. We'll have grand times together. And—and welt play here in the garden, and I'll put you to bed and kiss you and—" "But," broke in Thomas, solemnly, "we can't do that if you aren't a real one. William says he'd like'to see any woman kiss him 'cept his mother— and you are'nt a real mother, are you?" The stepmother answered oagerly: "Not a real one, dear, but—" "We can't do it if you aren't a real one," said Thomas, decidedly. There were some new puppies In the stable, and a new horse that James said belonged to the stepmother, and he had tea with James and James' wife in their little- cottage, and every* thing seemed as new and exciting as it always does the first day of holidays. — It was half past seven when he wan* dered into the drawing room. His father was there with the stepmother. "Well, young man," said his father, "this is a fine hour for little boys to be up. High time you were asleep. Gome and say good night" He bent down, and Thomas stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. s "Now go over and say good night to your stepmother." Thomas walked over to her and held out bis hand, politely. "Good night," he said, in his quaint serious way. The man frowned. "Aren't you going to kiss her, Thomas?" he asked. . Thomas turned to him. "I don't think so," be said. T o n see, she's not a real one." Thomas put himself to bed. He always performed the operation alone,, although one or other of the house* maids generally volunteered their services. There was a dull pais at his heart He wanted tome one. Be* wanted some one with soft, fluffy hair and dark eyes, like the stepmother, some one to say good night to and kiss. The stepmother was sitting alone In the drawing room. Thomas' father had just gone into the library to look for a book she wanted. But she was not thinking of Thomas' father—she was thinking of Thomas. She was thinking of his bine eyes, his untidy mop of hair, his little serfone mouth. She would so love to hold him on her knee, to Use hit little bTOwn toget- She wanted to go and look at aim in bed, if only she were sure he was asleep. She, dared not go unless she were certain.

Work May Easily Be Dene at Heme by Anyone Who le at All Handy in Use of the Needle. The evening, drees hanger Is a very dainty affair, and is a bit of work that can be made entirely at borne by anyone who is handy with the needle. The frame is a strong piece of wire bent into a heart shape, ending with a hook at the top, but before bending It Into shape It must be covered. From the book to the point of the heart should be about twelve inches. Four feet of wire will make the heart, exclusive of the hook, which should be of the.wire twisted, seeing a thin wire is used. The covering is of inch-wide pink satin ribbon, two lengths being placed back to back and sewed through twice its entire length to make a casing through which the wire is run. Five yards of ribbon will be necessary, as It Is fulled over the wire, which creates llttl frills on either edge. If wider frills are desired use a wider ribbon. The hook is just twisted with the ribbon and a bow of wider ribbon Is sewed at its base, from which depend strands of pink baby ribbon supporting tiny scent sachets, writes Helen Howe in the Boston Globe. The advantage of this improved holder compared with the wooden frame is its lightness. The shoulders do not slip from the hanger; sleeves can be pinned to the ribbon cover should they be of heavy beads; also the dress can be pinned at the belt to the point of the heart should it be necessary. Sometimes a heavy sash or ornament will drag a gown when hung upon the ordinary holder. Speaking of the ordinary holder, I see changes there, too, and, in my opinion, for the better. Tapestry is used for the covering after padding, instead of the daintier ribbons, which quickly soil and look badly. A banger, covered in rich, deep tones of tapestry, will be a Joy forever. The craze for the French gilt has reached the prosaic hangers, and after the tapestry is shirred over the padded wooden frame a border of tiny roses in French gilt Is set all around as a decoration. I see no sense In this. I fancy, too, the gilt might rub the lining of the Holder for Evening Gowns. garment resting upon the hanger and make It wear badly. Of course, the trimming adds much to the beauty of the article, but it does not seem practical. Another change is in the per* fuming and in the way It Is added. Only such odors as lavender, pine, clover and lavender-cedar are used, and these are put Into the wadding covering the frames, not as separate sachets (except in the case of the evening gown holders), which is well, for the little bags were often in the way when the garments were constantly in use, dangling and catching here and there as they will. • • * . • - • •-.-j*- Varied Neck Finishes. There are indications that tall, closefitting stock collars will be part of the winter sartorial scheme, though as yet these tall collars swathe only the back and sides of the throat the front being slashed .down In a V that makes for comfort at least a little while longer. Sometimes a plaited frill stands up from the tall collar at the back, Increasing the effect of height but the decollete bodice and blouse are going out of fashion and rarely does the V at the front—in the newest modelsextend below the throat line. Smart little cravats attached to snap fasteners are made of various materials and m various colors and with several of these little cravats and two smart blouses a number of neck finishes may be effected. WINTER SUIT* Distinctively smart Is this suit of black and white checked wool. Coat fastens with steel buttons st front. Note the graceful lines of the newly draped skirt. COSTUME FOR THE WINTER Of as Much Importance to the Woman of Fashion as Are Those of Summer. For winter sports the girl must be just as smartly equipped as during the summer, days, when she was so Immaculate In white linen and buckskin. The winter girl is a trim figure in her sporting clothes. She wears a short, heavy skirt, preferably of some dark woolen material; a heavy jersey, of white angora, trimmed with huge fur collar, and on her head is a jaunty little hat Some of the newest of these winter sporting hats are made of chamois, a warm and durable material; also adjustable to many different shapes. Often the cap Is in the natural chamois shade, a light yellow, a color particularly becoming to brunettes. Sometimes it Is dyed to match the skirt of the costume, or again, it Js in some brilliant shade, supplying a brilliant touch of color to the whole outfit A new thing in sporting equipment is the fur trimmed jersey. This Is a Parisian idea, which originated in the summer and has been carried on into the winter outfits. Bands of skunk, fox, mink or even sable trim the newest sweaters and often a.huge collar and cuffs of the fur are used instead of bands. 10HETHIM USEFUL FOR X M U Hold M the best Atoms mort mi er j where.

There Is something very attractive about a black satin lining in a serge suit of the classic order. Such a lining supplies the little mannish touch which makes the suit original and a thing apart from the ready-made costumes which are to be found in the stores.

How President Lincoln Came to Grant Son's Unique Request. Tad Lincoln wanted a Christmas gift such as perhaps no other president's son ever wanted before or since. "Father," sold Tad, "there is something I'd like'for Christmas, if you'll give it to me." As the son asked the Question bis father looked at the boy over the rims of his spectacles in a grave way and asked: "What is that, my son?' "I want a theater," said Tad. "Well, my boy, I don't know that i have any objection." said the president "There are plenty of them, 1 suppose, in the toy shops." "Oh, but I don't want a toy theater," protested the youngster. "I want a real one. There isn't any reason why we shouldn't have a theater in the White House." Mr. Lincolu was not at first disposed to take the suggestion favorably, but Tad, who was his favorite child and at that time eleven years old, was per sisteut, and at length the indulgent parent yielded, This was just before the Christmas of 18G3—too late to have the theater ready for the holidays, many preparations being required. But it is a matter of history, though known to few, that not long after the follow tng New Year's day the boy's ambition was realized, a room on the second floor of the executive mansion being' set aside for the purpose and a. stage erected, with gas footlights and.simple scenery. I -•»»-«"•-• HOLLY FOR THE PRESIDENT. Southern Belles and Beaus Brought It by Stagecoach. Before railways coaches changed horses at Alexandria and at the capital, and loads of young belles and beaus went to the Christmas parties in Washington, carrying to the president and his family holly and trailing pine from their southern homes. President Buchanan, with Miss Lane, "the golden beauty of the White House," gave grand fetes to the young people of the capital in- 1858-9 on Christmas eve. The maidens wore em pire gowns and high combs. To each guest Miss Lane gave a sprig of holly berries a9 a souvenir. Perhaps the most attractive event of President Johnson's administration was the Christmas party for children given to please his nephews and niece* and'their friends. A platform stood in the center of the east room, on which sat the Marine band. Overhead were festooned silken flags, and flowers bloomed everywhere. It was a fairy 'land of butterfly coloring—gold anoN scarlet snshes, stockings and pretty slippers Mr. Glumm on Christmas.

GIFT LADEN PI NAT AS. Unique Holiday .Frolics Which Delight Children of Mexico. About ten clays before Christmas la the City of Mexico the puestos in the Calle do San Diego begin to grow festive with evergreens, flowers, bright berries and other greens brought in from the mountains by the paisanoa to delight the eye and tempt the purses of the promenaders. In the booths of the neighboring Calle de San Juan are displayed fruits, nuts aud candles, and still others offer angels, shepherds, sheep, mules, oxen and other objects suggestive of the Saviour's birth. Probably the greatest attraction for the Mexican children are the pinataa. Peddlers may be seen sauntering along the streets carrying long poles which are strung with varicolored plnatas of every description, draped with tinsel These represent flowers, fruits, animals and even men and women, and each contains a jar filled with goodies. They range in price from 25 centavos to several ^dollars, according to their degree of elaborateness. The pinata Is suspended from the celling or hung In the courtyard. All the family gather aroundMt A child is blindfolded, turned around several times, then given a stick and told to And and break the pinata. If be fails after three trials to locate it be surrenders to the next in torn, and so on until a rocky blow shatters the pinata and the contents fall, to be scrambled for. THE BUSY FAIRIES j I have heard from Undo Peter, who is ! wonderfully wise, j That just before tho Christinas snow !s I falling from the skies The little folk in Fairyland begin to work tuvny At all the very nicest toys for Santa Claus' sleigh. He says they choose tho nighttime, when you cannot hear a sound, When the playroom fire has flickered out and shadows gather round. But silent hours they do not mind, they do not heed the night, For the moon holds up her candle, and they want no other light And Uncle Peter tells me, so I think you should be told. That those who work for other folk aro very seldom cold. Ttfey trim the dollies* bonnets, and they plait the dollies' hair. They sew the dainty dresses that the pretty dollies wear. They paint the lovely engines, and the sailing boats they make. And the best of all the mincemeat pies are what the fairies bake. And Uncle Peter tells me—nnd I think he must he right- That> work like this is Just tfce sort to make our Christmas bright And don't you ttiink a loving thought should go on Christmas day To those who for our pleasure work and ask no other pay? -Infants' Macaslne « * at* i Christmas Sentiments, ** The real spirit of Christmas is giving, not getting.

Men and boys entered by a huge door in the middle of the south wall and occupied the body of the church; women and girls entered by another south door and stationed themselves in tho western division of tho immense building, which is screened from the other divisions by wooden latticework.

Think Mistletoe Brings Trouble, In many parts of the United Kingdom the silver berries nnd the graygreen leaves of the mistletoe are looked upon as anything but an emblen* of good cheer. On the contrary, the plant is regarded with dread as being the brlnger of ill luck and the sign of ill omen. This superstition exists both In Devonshire and in Ireland, and* strange to say, in neither of these) places does tbe plant flourish. The Christmas Danes.

BRINGING THE HOLIMY SPIRIT TO THEJPOOII i . . . •". :¾ '.•^.-""•TSp^r. . ' ' • - • - ' » , . T IS a question whether the families helped or the workers helping them get most joy out of the Christmas distribution. A real settlement worker, one imbued with the right spirit, will tell you that only one who has visited the homes of the poor and the Buffering on Christmas eve can realise the pleasure of bringing happlneBs and .sunshine Into these homes. Many settlement visitors, who have given up the work for some reason or another, but who return to assist with the Christmas distributions, give generously from their own purses that the baskets may be larger and more families aided. Wealthy women, who have never d o n e settlement work, enter into the Santa Claus spirit and visit the alley and tenement districts of the large cities on the night b e f o r e Christmas, t h e i r autom6biles heavily laden with toys, turkeys and good things to . eat They employ investigators to canvass the section In which they are Interested a week before the holidays, and the distribution is made according to their reports. Oftcntime* •mall trees are sent to the hornet, with glass balls, trimmings and candy toys, and the donors, with the aid of their chauffeurs and the parents of the children, fix the tree while the little tots are asleep. Though little known, Santa Claus' work in the slums of the big cttlea Is carried on along systematic lines to overcome any overlapping of the multitude of good intentions. In dayi gone by, charitably inclined women would leave a large basket of provision in a house in ignorance Of another basket hidden in the closet And it was not unusual for two or three workers to meet in the same kitchen at the one time, each burdened with good things for the one family. This Is an error of the past; for now the Christmas giving has been systematized. Settlement workers of the various societies and representatives of the wealthy private givers compile a list of those they will assist, and all go over their lists carefully together. '_ Although the Christmas giving Is all cut and dried a few days before the time, Santa Claus' secret is not given away. Half of the pleasure would be gone if the families knew that the visitors were coming with food and toys in abundance. It Is true that those who are visited and quitted by the private workers have a Bhrewd suspicion, after they have told their tale of woe and received the sympathy of the visitor, that something substantial it to follow. The regular settlement workers know their ground pretty well; they know which famlllet have had a hard road' to travel and are putting up a good battle against the tide of misfortune. The settlement workers have little Investigating to do before the holidays; their entrance Into a home or tenement It always greeted with surprise, for they generally make It a point to go where they are least expected ' "The poor are always with us" it doubly true at Christmas time. Families who can barely exist, who do not know where the next day1* bread tt coming from, oaa certainly not afford any- axtrat for the holiday season.

How many reunions and reconciliations take place then It known only to these good women. The hearts of many men who have been separated from their wives and families become softened at the holidays draw near, and it isn't uncommon for the settlement worker to find them together when the comet with the Chrlstma* basket Many prodigal tons return on Christmas eve. A striking case of this kind that occurred two yean ago was run across by a settlement worker In Philadelphia. She said that she had never witnessed a scene on any stage that could equal It It was a real case of where the Christmas prayer of a broken-hearted mother was answered by the return of her boy. ' The son ran away from home seven years earlier, when a youth of sixteen years. He had a good home and the family •consisted of his parents, an older brother and a tlster. His father was a hard-working man and used all hit earnings for his home.. The younger boy, being the baby of the family, was the pet of all; but he had a wild disposition, and he wanted to tee something of life. He decided to run away from home and go West When he reached the ranches of Arizona he found that the cowboy life watnt at bright at it was painted. •He longed for home many a time, but vowed that he would not return a failure. He persevered until he had made good, though it took seven year* tor him to do it Hit fearlessness and daring attracted the attention of the owner of the ranch, and he placed him In charge of another place. "When the young man had a goodly wad of bills) accumulated he decided to return In time for Christmas. He reached the old house to find that another family was living there, and he learned from neighbor* that hit father was dead; that hi* titter had grieved to over hit disappearance that the died shortly after he had left, and that hit brother had been killed In an accident The mother, doubly aged .with grief, had been left alone and was subsisting aa beat the could in a third-story room. The ton lost no time and arrived in the room just after the settlement worker bad reached there with her basket of provisions. The mother had just finished telling her etory to the sympathetic listener when this latest prodigal returned. "No one can really appreciate," said a settlement worker In another city, "how happy'one feels utter visiting the hornet of the poor on Chrittmaa eve. The gratitude of one woman alone last year was enough to recompense me for the work I did. This woman's husband was in the penitentiary tawing an 18-year term far murder. It appear* that he and a companion were working in the cranberry bog*. They quarreled, and in a scuffle this man atabbed hit opponent Ho made hit wife promise aha would never allow the family of ttx to be separated. She not only kept tuam together by taking in washing and working until all hour* of the night, but sne refused to accept outside aid la any shape or form. There would new* bean no Chrtstmaa in this home, and It was a delicate undertaking to bring a woman like this any provisions. But I explained to her that it was a present and her joy was only equaled by that of her children, who were more than delighted with their new toys. "I have been in homes where the children never had toys, and I have brought them their first playthings. In one case there weirs two children, a boy and a girl, Pepino and Mechaimo. Their father died, when they were babies, and the mother supported them. She had come to this country a bride and was not well versed with the American way of doing thingu. She did not even know how to make a rag doll for the 'children. We brought those children a small tree, decorated It, and gave them plenty of toys. Words couldn't tell the happiness of those little one*. "There i* more pleasure in the work then you would imagine We see many sad scenes, sorrow and joy mingled together, but we also and much to amuse us. Last year wa took a basket to an old colored woman. Her husband was a paralytic and she had two orphaned grandchildren to keep. Christmas to her was to be the same as any other day until we arrived with the provisions and toys. She glanced at us as we entered the room, and when we put, the basket on the table, she stared at it and pointed to herself, aa much as to say, 'For met I said, 'Yes, Lisa, that's for you.' You could see nothing but the whites of her eyes, and she raised both of her hands above her head, clasped them together and said, 'De Lord be praised.' That was all she said; but she repeated it time and again. One time her eyes would be aa large a* dollars and she would Joyously sing the 'De Lord be praised' and again she would be sad and mournful and moan 'De Lord be praised/ » "Finally her husband, who was unable to leave his chair, lost his patience and he shouted, 'Lisa, good Lord, woman, has you done lost your head altogether? Why don't you thank the ladies?' Then, aa a sort of apology to us, be said: 'You'll have to excuse her, ladies, fer she has surely done lost her head altogether/ As we left the room and glanced back, poor Liza was still standing there, looking at us with her hands clasped before her and slowly nodding her head saying: De Lord be praised/ We concluded Lisa knew better than her husband. She was thanking the right one* "I have witnessed many reooasiHations of familiet of foreigner* on Chrittmaa eve. The afternoon that I spent at the immigration station last year was one of the plotstntcst of my life. It was interesting to note the expression of gladness oa the faces'of the children in the cottamea of their various, fatherlands. They couldn't speak a word of English, but they could show you that they were grateful for the playthings. "I will never forget my first Christmat visitation. It was my initial experience with social service work. One of the first places we visited waa in a court, a poor German family. When we arrived at the home the mother was'telling.the three children Chrittmaa legends. She had gilded apples, and that was their only other 1reminder the} the morrow wa* a great festival. She had no meat nor vegetable* in ton house for the neat day1* meals, and there was no coal in the bin. But the place was at clean and neat as a new pin.

There are Inspectors in the United States department of agriculture have found in the course of their work that ignorance or carelessness on the part of stock owners has frequently led to fresh outbreaks of infectious disease after it had been supposed that the previous ones had been completely stamped out Comparatively few farmert, It It said, realise the importance of the scientific disinfection of premises which have once harbored infected stock. When it Is remembered that the germ which causes' tuberculosis in cattle measures about one-thousandth of an inch in length, it is obvious that the "lick-and-promise" method of cleaning la no obstacle at all to the existence of the disease. The germ of glanders Is little larger. These two germs are thrown off by diseaaed animals in large quantities. In the average stable they have no difficulty in finding many lodging places whence any one of a hundred different thing* may cava* them to emerge, and start a fresh outbreak upon the farm. When a stable haa once harbored diseased animals, therefore, absolute disinfection with sufficiently powerful disinfectants is the only way to insure the stock from another visitation. In Farmers' Bulletin 480, "Practical Methods of Disinfecting Stables," some of the most easily obtainable disinfectants are named, .tnd the best methods of applying them discussed. In the first place it is imperative that the stable be thoroughly cleaned before any disinfectant at all Is applied. The various surfaces such at ceilings, walls, partitions, floors, etc., should be swept free from cobwebs and dust Where the filth hat been allowed to accumulate, this should be removed by thorough scrubbing. If the woodwork has become soft and porous so that it affords a good refuge for the disease germ, it should be torn down and burned and new wood substituted. All refuse of every description should be removed to a place inaccessible to live stock and there either burned or treated with a solution of chloride of lime in the proportion of six ounce* to one gallon of water. If the floor of the stable is of earth, the surface toil should be removed to a depth of four inches or more and new earth substituted. It it better, however, to take advantage of this opportunity to lay down a concrete floor, which in the end will be found more satisfactory as well aa more sanitary. The stable thus thoroughly cleansed and stripped of all it* odd* and end* and refuse is now ready for the application of the disinfectant A disinfectant is a drug which haa the power of destroying germ* merely by eom- TEACHING EWE TO OWN LAMB V Among Other Plane Advocated I* That of Taking Skin From Dead Animal and Placing on Another. (By BL M, NELSON. Oregon Experiment] Station.) Nearly every year one lamb or more diet, even out of the wmall flocks that run on the general farm. In such cases the ewes may be made stepmother*. But of course/it will be necessary to get the ewe to own the strange Iamb. Thia may be accomplished in either of the following wayt: The akin may be taken from the dead lamb and placed over the- lamb to be adopted. Bwe* recognise their lamb* by the scent, and the odor of the lambskin will make the ewe believe that the lamb 1* her own. The •km should he removed to about fortyeight hoars, or sooner if asdssnaty. The ewe nay he caught and held a number of these drugs, varying considerably in efficacy, and some of them dangerous to animal aa well as germ life. Bichloride of mercury is one of the moat powerful, but it haa the great disadvantage of being a violent poison and in consequence great care mutt be used when handling it to keep it away from all live stock. For ordinary purposes it is probable that cresol or the compound' solution of creaol, known as liquor creaolis composltua, is best adapted to general use. When the latter is used, it should he mixed with water in the proportion of four or five ounces to a gallon. Cresol is not as soluble at the oompound solution and should, therefore, be thoroughly stirred while mixing. If a grade of the drug guaranteed to be W per cent pure is secured, two or three ounce* to a gallon of water will be sufficient To apply the disinfectant on anything but a very limited surface, a strong spray pump is essential. The pump should be equipped with IS feet of none with a Are-foot" section of iron pipe, with a spraying nossle at one end, attached to i t The entire Interior of the stable should be saturated with the solution forced through this apparatus. Special attention should be given to feeding troughs and drains, as it is in these that the disease germs are moat likely to find their first resting places. After a thorough spraying with the disinfectant it ia. well to apply a lime wash containing four or five ounces' of chloride of lime to each gallon. In many cases, however, it will save trouble if this wash Is combined with the disinfectant This can he done In the following manner: for five gallons of disinfecting fluid, slake 7¼ pounds of lime, using hot water if necessary tor start action. Mix to a creamy consistency with .water. Stir in IS fluid ounces of cresol, at least 95 per cent pure, and make up to Ave gallons by adding water. In case compound solution of creaol is used, add 30 fluid ounces Instead of 15. 8tir the whole mixture thoroughly and, tf it is to be Applied through a spray nestle, strain through' a wire sieve. 8tir frequently when applying and keep covered when not in Inforce the Bird Law.

MESMERIZED Poisonous Drug Still Pretty Used. PRETTY CANDLE SHADE TABLE DECORATION MADE AT HOME. EASILY Simple Materials, With a tittle Work and the Exercise of One's In* germtty, About All That Is Needed. Nothing adds more to the homelike air of a house than prettily shaded, lighted candles, whether upon the dining room table, in the living rooms or the boudoir. Some of the very prettiest are homemade* as the Illustration proves. This is made from four circular doilies of sheer handkerchief linen edged with chmy lace one inch wide, each doilymeasuring six inches in diameter, for a small shade when finished, larger slsea up to lamp shades to be In proportion, of course. If only one shade is to be made, the best and cheapest way is to cut the four squares from a handkerchief, because then there will be no waste. Linen is so wide that even when the smallest quantity is bought more than half will be wasted. A woman's handkerchief is ample for a small shade. A man's will make the larger. Also doilies all ready stamped for working can be bought at ten cents each. However, one may be more individual if she can trace her own design, and as they are so simple this should not be difficult to do. For instance, if she traced the design of her dinner ware upon the linen and worked it out in the same coloring the light shining through the linen would give the shade all the impression of being porcelain, too.

Whether^you take advantage of it or not, it is one that merits your best consideration, for it not only offers you an opportunity to save a substantial sum of money, but provides you with clean, wholesome reading. And this offer is of special interest at this time because of the long winter months that are now with us. This is the time of the year when the days are short and the nights are long, they give our friends plenty of time to read, to gather about the fireside in the evening and discuss those topics which are of mutual interest in every household—the war, politics, women's interests, business conditions, winter sports and the thousand and one things that come up in the course of an evening at home. The offer will not last forever. In fact, it is limited to a short time only and urge you * to take advantage of it at once. Newspaper bargain opportunities like this don't knock at your door every day. By this special arrangement we can also offer this combination to residents of Pinckney, Hamburg and Gregory.

By HENRY W. LONQFELLOW. !5hree kinys camo riding from far away- Melchior and Uaspar and Baltaaar. flforea wiee men out of the east were they. And they traveled by night and they alept by day, For their guide was a beautiful, wonderful star. • 3Jhe star was BO beautiful, large and clear That all the other stara of the sky :ame a white mist In the atmosphere, id by this they knew that the comina was near Of the Prince foretold in the prophecy. Three caskets they bore on their saddle-, bows, .Tt>ree caskets of gold with colden key*. Their robes were of crlmion <«ilk with rows Of bells and pomegranates andvfurbelow*. Their turbans like blossoming almond trees. Azid.eo the three kings rode Into the west Through the dusk of night, over hill and dell, j&sd sometimes they nodded with beard on breast And sometimes talked as they paused to rest With the people they met at some wayside well. •^Of the child that is born," said Baltaaar, "Good people. I pray you tell us the news, ¾r we in the east have aeen his star d have ridden fast and have ridden far To And and worship the King of the Jews." And the people answered, "You ask In vain; We know of no king but Herod the Great." They thought the wise men were men Insane As they spurred their horses across the plain Like riders in haste who cannot wait And when they came to Jerusalem Herod the Great, who had heard this thing, Sent for the wise men and questioned them And said, "Go down unto Bethlehem Sknd bring tidings of this new King." SENT FOB THE WISE MEN AND QUi»- TIONED THEM. fio they rode away, and the star stood still, The only one In the gray of morn— ITes, it stopped—it stood still of Its own free will Slight over Bethlehem on the hill, The city of David, where Christ was born. And the three kings rode through the gate and the guard, t Through the silent street till their horses turned And neighed as they entered the great inn yard, Cut the windows were closed, and the doors were barred, And only a light In the stable burned. And cradled there in the scented hay, In the air made sweet by the breath of kine, The little child in the manger lay^ The child that would be King some day ' Of a kingdom not human, but divine. Bis mother, Mary of Nazareth, ~8at watching beside his plaee of rest, , Watching the even flow of his breath, Cor the 5oy of life and the terror of death Were mingled together in her breast Sphey laid their offerings at his feet The gold was their tribute to a king; <fhe frankincense, with its odor sweet !Was for the priest; the paraclete, The myrrh for the body's burying. And the mother wondered and bowed her head And sat a s still as a atatue of stone. Her heart was troubled, yet comforted, Bememberlng what the angel had said Of an endless reign and of David's throne. Then the kings rode out of the city gate With a olatter of hoofs, in proud array, But they wont not book tp Herod the Groftt. /--^^ X ~ For they kmtwAiiu m*tte* and feared hii hate.

While there have been many discussions as to the relative value of the different branches of an army, there Is uo doubt, according to a writer in the Scientific American, but that it 1H the infantry that wins battles. While it la probable the success of a battle will depend to a large extent on the support of the field artillery, it is certain that the principal and most Important arm is the Infantry, which in practically every case must decide the iinal Issue. The cavalry may be the first to be drawn into a battle and the artillery may destroy the enemy's artillery, but 41 battle is never won until the infantry baa driven back the enemy's lines. The usual mode of advancing for the infantry is to deploy them in a line with a long interval between each soldier. This naturally is for the purpose of offering a smaller target for the enemy. It makes It more difficult, however, for the leaders to keep as good control over the men. and for that reason one of the objects of field artillery is to make the enemy's troops deploy early. Rugs, Slippers, Bags, aad Suit Cases, Etc. Mens Suits, Overcoats and Haberdashery Old Turkish Custom As long ago as 1613 Coryate visited Constantinople and has left s minute account of its manners and customs. Among other matters he notes that "it Is the custom that whensoever any lire ariseth in the city to hang up him in whose bouse it beginneth, as now a cook in whose house St begun was banged up presently after the fire ceased." The Turks themselves, it appears, were models of good breeding. "The Turk doth never at the saluting of bis ( friend at any time of the day or when he drlnketh to him at dinner or supper put off his turban, as we Christians do our hats one to another, but bowetb his head and puttetb his right band upon his breast, so that he utterly dis liketh the fashion that is used? amonK us of putting off our hats. Therefore, when he wisheth any ill to his enemy he prayeth God to send him no more rest than a Christian's hat." , YOU CANNOT DO BETTER All Purchases Xmas Wrapped at Your Request. THAN TO VISIT W. J.

Those under ten grains are sold by the ounce, aoove that by the grain. Color has a deal to do with the value The white pearls go mostly to Europo and the yellow ones to India. In Australia an ounce of good white pearls will fetch up to $500, but sometimes realizes only a fifth of that amount The yellow pearls may be rated on an average at about half the value of the white ones. The seed pearls used for cheap jewelry can be had for $5 per ounce and discolored pearls for 7s. Gd., but if the discoloration is peculiar the value is sometimes enhanced. For the low class of seed pearls there is a constant demand among oriental physl- | dans and apothecaries, who grind them into a powder and administer it to patients as a cure for many ills. Virginia Wss Fifth Kingdom. Virginia is known as the Old Dominion because It was sometimes recognized as a Beparate dominion. Spenser, in 1590, dedicated his "Faerie Queen" to Elizabeth, queen of England, France, Ireland and Virginia. When James VI. of Scotland came to the English throne Scotland was added and Virginia was called In com* pllment the fifth kingdom. And as Virginia stood firm for Charles II. after the execution of his father, Charles, in gratitude, caused the arms of Virginia to be quartered with those of England, Scotland and Ireland, as an Independent member of the kingdom. •*•&##»» Send home n e w s in the form of the Dispatch a s a welcome Christmas gift.

Powerful Dlgestlvs. An ideal fruit for the dyspeptic would seem to be the papaya, which grows in southern India and Ceylon. The digestive and disintegrating properties of the* juice of this fruit are seen in the fact that the native cooks in Ceylon wrap tough meat in fresh papaya leaves to make it tender, or apply a small quantity of the milky fluid to the surface of the meat, or put a small portion of the plant itself into the pot when the meat will not boil soft Papain, a chemical extract is said to be capable of digesting ten to twelve times its weight of egg albumen at the temperature of the human body.

Attack of the Cossacks The Russian Cossacks have a form of attack which Is peculiarly their own it is known as the "lava." Cossack horses are specially trained to carry out the maneuver. The leading sotnia (squadron) spreads out to right and left, and the others, at full speed, form up on either side of it in a semicircle or half moon. Every man with a lance is attended by a man wearing a sword, and all the officers are in front of the men of each sotnia. The other squadrons do not wait for a special order, but at ones adopt the same formation, endeavoring to surround the enemy from another side. With loud shouts reminiscent of the red Indian warwhoop the Cossacks rash down on the foe. end even though the first sssault be repulsed another "lava" poors down on the shaken enemy. This system of attack takes its name, of coarse, from tlM ttanld products of volcanic activity. —London Mail.

'. | Not many people know bow the seal i of the far north gets air when the Arct' .tic ocean is entirely coveted with,many I feet of ice. ' The small spotted seal, whic^ is a i hail- seal and not a fur bearer, is the hardy dweller of the northern waters. ' Under bis tough, thick skin be has an incb or., more' of\blub"er.,,; When the ice closes up the open water in the Arctic the seal selects a spot and be gins to drill a hole to the surface by pressing his warm nose against the ice. Nobody knows how many hours It takes him to accomplish his task, but he manages i t and, although he Is obliged to work most of the time because the surface of the hole Is continually freezing, he keeps it open all winter and obtains air. Seals have been known to drill in this manner through fifty feet of solid ice. Whether or not they take tarns in the slow drilling is not positively known. It is at these "seal holes" that the polar bear seeks food in the winter and there the Eskimo waits, spear in hand, for his weekly supply of meat—Youth's Companion.

Glen H. Beurmann, Howell The Quality Furniture Store We Pay the Freight on all Furniture and Crockery to l>e Delivered in Pinokney Christmas Sermon In Words of One Syllable. An innovation in sermons was the one delivered by the Rev. A. Smythe Palmer, M. A., O. D., vicar of Holy Trinity church, Wanstead, England, on the birth of Christ. This sermon is entirely in words of one syllable. HE spt'JiKs tlie mind or God who tells us aud would have rms know what God thinks, for if it were not for biin we could not know at all. "God did so Jove the world that he gave his own, one Son, to be born at this time for us» to the end that all who trust in him should not die, but have the life which lasts for aye.'1 He came and ''dwelt with us" on earth that men might set* with their owu eyes at least ode pure life, lived free from sin. He was made "flesh of our tiesh" and "bone of our bone," "God with us" in truth, but man no less, true man ;ind true God—a child 'like one of our own. That is the strange thing, so rteop that no man. wise as he may be. can quite take it in. He was to be "God with us." but at the same time "a worm and no man"— less than u man in the grief and pain and scorn which he bore. The texts take our thoughts back to the birth of this day. It is a birthday for the whole world to keep. All men can sny: "To us this child is born: to ns God gave this son of his love. I have my share in it." Asd so we are all glad of heart and make our church gay with plants and flowers and sins our hymns of joy and keep the feast with gifts and good fare. It is the birth day of nil our hopes. Now, it was good news of great joy that the host from on high brought to the herds who kept watch on their sheep in the fields. And It is still so. For us, as much as for them, was born in that small town one strong to save. "Which It Christ the Lord." It Is old news now* and I fear it falls on our dull, cold hearts like some old tale of long past time which baa lost its charm. Oh, let us not shut our ears to It as some of those first men did! When be came to bis own bis .own would not take him in. They said. There Is ao room for Wm bere"-no rrmn ft tlm, im> wtom tr ramr tfl.lt- It wasTnot anTun. you must Know," MUH one of ours, but a mere bare court where those on the road might rest—a "khan" they call it in the east. Does It not seeuj to us a sad and a strange sight that a young babe should be shut out in the cold night—God in want of house room? A poor place, ar best, as nide and rough as we can well think, and, such as it was. quit** full with the crowd who had come first The host of the inn sends them off He tells them there is a cave :it tinback of the inn where the beasts n:v kept; they may find rest there, if they will. That cave, where the birth of all time took place, is still shown in the rock. A great church built there marks the spot. Then, poor, mean and cold, it was the best place he could find to lay his head. "The fox has his hole and the bird of the air her nest, but the Son of Man hath not where to lay bis head." So. in , that cave in the rock, the stall of the i ox and the ass. in the crib out of which they ate their hay. the newborn babe was laid. .lust tbink what all this i means—God made flesh, God born as I man in this world of ours, that he might find a way to bring back man to I God! He hid bis might and men hid ' their face from him. None but the j herds who kept their sheep saw or ; knew of it till they fell to the ground j in a great blaze of light, and a host of bright ones In the sky sang such a song as no choir on earth has snng. which gave praise to God on high*. "and on earth peace, good will to men." Those herds had faith to go and seek the child of whom tbey were told. They found him in the crib, and tbey saw more than their eyes could see They knew that In that weak child was the power of God to save. And so those good men. when tbey had bow'd down. went back to their flock, struck with awe. and "gave praise to God for all the/ had heard and seen." 8ball we do less? Shall we not, too. go home and gtrs thanks on our part with joy for what we hart heard? And In all our joy let us find room for the one guest who should not be left outroom In our hearts for him whose word la life. Walt Till You're Cosier.

The Christinas tree was rarely seen in England until made popular by the German husband of (^neen Victoria, and. while it is universal there at the present time, it is the Yule log and the mistletoe that hold the center of attraction. Long before England became a Christian country the Yule log was burned in honor of a pagan deity at the winter solstice, and the infectious spirit of cheer and good will which prevailed at that time survived when Christianity spread abroad. Tbe festivities in England begin with the lighting of the Yule log on Christmas eve. In many parts of the country tbe whole family, including serv ants, gather about tbe hearth and "beguile the long evening with rural games, legendary jokes and oft told Christmas tales." One of tbe oldest customs observed in England is the singing of Christmas carols from house to house by Christmas carolers. Some of the carols sunt: today are at least 400 years old. Christmas Balls. I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old, familiar carols play And, wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, rood will to men! -Longfellow. Resistance by Air. The effects of air resistance are well shown In the twelve and a half miles Simplon tunnel, where an exceptionally high amount of energy is required for running the electric trains. Tbe tunnel, which Is fifteen feet wide and eighteen feet high, with a sectional area of 250 square feet has a ventilating current of 3.530 feet cubic of air per second, maintained by two large blast fans at the Brigue end and two exhaust fans a t Iselle. Trains going with this current encounter less resistance than in open air up to fifteen and a half miles an hour, bat at higher speeds or in tbe opposite direction the resistance la much greater than outside, Meting by gravity down the seven per out thousand maximum gradient a train, even though going with the current cannot exceed thirty-five mlJes an hour on account of the braking by the air. I Ancient Astronomy. 1 A most interesting discovery in Egypt has been made, where an ob servatory has been found at Meroe at the bottom of a well in an under ground bathing estiblishtnent. the advantage of such an observatory being that the stars could lie seen by day ns well as.by night. This observatory, it is claimed, was evidently a copy of the famous observatory at. Assuan, where the circumference of the earth was first determined—a work which was said to have been done nt the bottom of the well. The chamber in which the astronomer's instruments were placed was ideally fitted for its purpose. Only a strip of s*ky was observable.

The Hoe and lae DODI'Q The map with the hoe has been recognized by every age and nation as a fundamental source of prosperity, and while our literature abounds with encomiums in his behalf, the half has never been told. But the man with the dough is equally as impartant at this period of our growth and development as the man with the hoe. Attemps have been made to discredit him, but when it comes to building factories and railroads aud large industrial enterprises which are necessary to oar prosperity, we must face the man with the money and our destinies as a nation of influence aud power are largely in his hands. It takes the man with the hoe and the man with the dough combined to make civilization, and one is inter-dependent upon the other. , Fresh air is so cheap that we all ought to be able to get it. Course for Housekeepers There will be offered at Michigan Agricultural College beginning January 4th, an eight weeks course for women designated as the Housekeepers Course. This course was offered for the first time last winter and the attendance was very gratifying. The work is intensely practical and helpful and is given at the same time as the short course in agriculture for men. The work offered will include cooking, sewing, vegetable and landscape gardening, poultry and subjects bearing directly upon the home, such as home decoration, sanitation, aursing and reading. This course will be one of great value to the housekeepers of Michigan and will furnish those whose husbands decide to take one of courses in agriculture, an opportunity to attend college at the same tine. The minimum age limit is placed at 21 years, except in the case of married women. This has been uiatle necessary because of the fact that these women will be placed in the private homes of E. Lansing and it will be impossible for th6 college authorities to exercise the same supervision as that given to regular women students. Excellent laboratories for cooking and sewing have been fitted up in preparation for the course and with the facilities at hand the work will be most pleasant and profitable. Those contemplating taking the course should write the President, J. L. Snyder, East Lansing for circular giving outline of the course aud full description of the work offered. Application should be made as early as possible so that arrangements may be macle for the accomodation of all who deBire to attend. 1 —r*—>^aajpM«a^f^*HBja*j» • / ^^ Card of Thanks Our sincere gratitude is extended to all friends and neighbors and to the "Este Fideles" class of the M.

BRITI8H FLEET VICTORIOU8 FIERCE ENCOUNTER. IN Conflicting Reports as to Condition of Kaiser Wilhelm, Who is Admitted Jo Be Indisposed—Reports as to Nature of Illness Vary—Latest News From the Front, East and West i .. < London, Dec. 12.—Berlin is ready to concede the loss of the Dresden, the sole remaining unit of the German squadron destroyed by .Vice-Admiral Sir Frederick Sturdee off the Falkland islands in the South Atlantic Tuesday. The imperial press bureau, from which emanates all official information given for publication, in a statement Issued apparently before the destruction of the Nuernberg became known there, says, after recording the sinking of the Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Leipzig and the escape of the Nuernberg and Dresden in the main engagement: "In view or the superiority of the enemy's fleet, which consists particularly of big, fast, well-armed ships, there seems little chance that our two cruisers can long evade pursuit. We must therefore alBo reckon with the loss of both these ships." Revised reports of the casualties on the British ships during the engagement showed seven men had been [killed and four wounded. No casualties were reported among the officers. The Buenos Aires dispatch quotes private German sources as admitting that the German losses would reach 3,000. Report Other German Losses. A dispatch from Coronel via Valparaiso says a merchant ship that arrived at Conception last night reported it had intercepted a wireless message stating that the German transport Fiinz Eltel Frledrich has been sunk by a Japanese warship. It Us reported she had 1,600 German marines aboard. The German armored cruiser Friedrich Karl Is reported to have been 'sunk in the Baltic sea by a mine and Jnosl of her crew drowned, accord- -inj^Jo an official statement Issued by the French ministry of marine today. The Frledrich Karl carried 557 officers and men. Nuernberg Also 8unk. London, Dec. 11.—Admiral Sturdee reports the sinking of the German cruiser Nuernberg, fourth to be accounted for of Admiral Graf von Spee's squadron, defeated off Falkland Islands. Another report Is that the cruiser Dresden, fifth of Von Spee's fleet has been Bent down. 8hlps In British Fleet Montevideo, Dec. 11.—The British fleet that attacked and sank four vessels of the German fleet commanded by Admiral Graf von Spee in an engagement off the Falkland islands Tuesday Is reported here to have numbered nine warships, two of which were dreadnaughts, thought to be the Lion and the Indefatigable. Von Spee's Misfortune. London, Dec. 10.—The British navy has squared the account with Admiral von Spee. In the most terrific naval engagement in point of guns and ton* nage yet fought In the war, Vice-Admlral Sir Frederick C. D. Sturdee's cruiser squadron engaged the German squadron of Von Spee, sunk Its flagship, the armored cruiser Scharnhorst of 11,240 tons, its sister ship, the Gneisenau, and the light cruiser Lelpslg of M00 tons. - The light cruisers Nuernberg and Dresden escaped and were pursued by the victorious British fleet Two colliers attached to the German fleet were captured. Believe Von Spee Sank, The official statement of the admiralty, issued by the press bureau, My some survivors of the Gneisenau and Leipsig were rescued, but no mention is made of any survivors of the ftsgsbip Scharnhorst and it is bc- 3l#y*d Admiral you Spee went down w*fc his ship* '--•wk* complements of the Scharn- JMJieVftttd the Gneisenau were 764 men * andtbetoftheLetpsig30S.

The nervous breakdown which the emperor has suffered is severe, and diplomatists here do not believe, as is stated in the official German bulletins, that the kaiser Is only slightly ill. Physicians here say it is likely that inflammation of the lungs has set in. Dispatches received via The Hague say the kaiser was permitted to sit up and confer with the imperial chancellor for a few hours today. Paris reports that the crown prince has been summoned to his imperial father's bedside from the battlefields of Belgium. Reports of the nature of the emperor's illness still vary, though all agree that it is of a bronchial nature. Berlin has denied officially that he is suffering from pneumonia, a dispatch received via Amsterdam today saying that ne has catarrh of the throat, which has somewhat subsided in severity. English experts profess to believe that the kaiser has been ill ever since the war started.

Petrograd, Dec. 12.—The following official statement was issued by the war department: "An advance by the Germans in the direction of Mlawa during the night of December 10 was successfully repulsed. The Russians have since advanced, in some places pursuing the columns of the.enemy, which are in disorderly retreat "The Germans delivered various at* tacks on the Russians at Lowicz and were repulsed with enormous losses, the Russians gallantly turning back seven assaults. * "During a successful advance south of Cracow, in spite of stubborn resistance, the Russians captured several German heavy guns and maxims and took 2,000 prisoners." Statement From Berlin. Berlin, Dec. 11 (wireless via Sayville).— The latest report from the fighting around Lodz shows the Russian resistance there is by no means broken. The new Russian positions on the Miazga are only some twelve or thirteen miles eastward from Lodz, demonstrating that much is yet to be done before the Russians can be considered definitely defeated. In these circumstances the battles In the vicinity of Lowicz gain added significance. If the Germans succeed in breaking through here the positions of the Russians behind the Miazga will be untenable. Germans 8torm Prtizasnyer. A German column advancing on the right bank of the Vistula stormed Prsasnysz and captured 600 Russians and some machine guns. On the left bank of the river the attack is continuing. East of the Masurian lakes the artillery duel continues. General Mackensen's army Is unofficially reported from Petrograd to be between Lowicz and Warsaw and only about fifteen miles from the Polish capital. * Allege German Repulse. Paris, Dec. 12.--Tonight'8 official bulletin says: "In the region of Ypres a very violent German attack has been repulsed. "In this same region, that one of our trenches which was mentioned In the afternoon communique as having been reached by the Germans has been recaptured by us. "On the rest of the front there Is nothing to announce." Rotterdam Report Rotterdam, Dec 12.—The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant says the British flag is flying today In Staden, a town of 54,000 population, six miles north of Passcheudaele, and the nearest place of importance to Routers. If this is accurate it Is expected the German positions nearer the coast will prove untenable. The Germans are still working on their coast positions In the region of Zeebrugge, where they have mounted guns with which they hope to be able more effectively to reply to fire from the British ships, Germans Attack at Ypres, London, Dec 13.—Attacks of unprecedented ferocity were directed by the Germans against the allies' fines In the region of Ypres today. The onslaughts were repulsed. Reports from the front state that the attaoks evidently were in the nature of a screes to cover a retiring movement in the rear. Make RiM MI Dover.

Panama—Col. George W. Goethals, governor of the canal zone, was impelled to suggest to the government at Washington that two swift American torpedo boat destroyers be sta- 3oned at the Panama canal, one at each end, by the recent activity of belligerent warshipB and colliers In the vicinity of that Isthmian waterway.^ The action of the Australian collier 'Mallina, which left Balboa without clearance papers, and the fact that this and other colliers have shown a disposition to disregard the canal zone shipping laws actuated Col. Qoethals to take a decisive measure to preserve in every way the neutrality of the canal. Nearly all the colliers which have gathered in canal waters arrived without health certificates and in several instances the ships sailed without clearance papers. It is presumed that the steamers met and coaled the Austrians and English fleet which concentrated recently in the vicinity of the Pearl islands, which lis 60 miles southeast of Panama city. The United States torpedo boat destroyers requested by the governor are expected to do patrol duty and to promptly overhaul any belligerent craft attempting to disregard the canal regulations. Alleged violations of the canal shipping laws have, it is said, been the subject of complaint to Sir Claude C. Mallett, British minister to Panama, and also have resulted in causing orders to be given the fortifications to prevent unneutral colliers remaining in ports on the canal zone In disregard of the orders of the canal authorities. In the case of the collier Mallina, it is stated she arrived without clearance papers or a health certificate and with no coal or supplies. She attempted to buy $3,000 worth of supplies, consisting largely of articles intended for a Christmas dinner for a large force. She was refused the supplies and was ordered to depart because she refused to state her destination, as required by the canal zone laws. The collier Protesilaas Is pointed to as a similar case, ' It is stated there has been much wireless interference in canal waters on the part of eight colliers, which recently were In the vicinity of the canal, and also by Urge warship ueets, reported to be within 25 miles of both ends of the canal Italy Demands Satisfaction. Rome—Garon Sonnino, Italian minister of foreign affairs, has asked the Turkish government to liberate G. A. Richardson^ British consul at Hodeida, Arabia, who, K is alleged, recently was forcibly removed by Turks from the Italian consulate, where he had taken refuge, and was placed aboard a boat bound for an unknown destination. " The foreign minister also has asked the Ottoman government to give public satisfaction to Italy far the violation of the consulate. Baron Sonnina, In answering an in* tempellatlon In the chaatbar of deputies Saturday, regarding the Hodeida incident, gavo the story of Consul Richardson's arrest which already had been made public He added thai Signer Geocbi, the Italian consul at Hodeida, who saae to the Manse of his colleague, was obliged to remain la his own house, which was watshed for severe! days, mktfl the) arrival of the Italian coast guard ship Qrottana, and the Italian armored cruiser stares Pom, which had been ordered to Ho* Live Stock.

What is there in this to rouse a whole neighborhood and collect before it a croup of eager, anxious, hesitating people? This is Judge eetrender's place* and ^anyone who knows Shelby or the gossip of its suburbs knows that this bouse of his has not opened its doors to any outsider, man or woman, for over a dosen years; nor have his gates <been seen In all that time to gape at anyone's instance or to Stand unclosed to public intrusion. .The seclusion •ought was absolute." The sen and women who passed and repassed this corner many times a day were as ignorant as the townspeople in general of what lay behind the gray, monotonous exterior of the weatherbeatea boards they so frequently brushed against [The house was there, of course—they jail knew the house, or did once but (there were Tumors of another fence, a iaecond barrier, standing a few feet inmust have provoked response had the young man had any response to giro.

What has made him thus suddenly careless, he who has never been careless before? Honey? A bribe from the woman who had entered there? j What else was there to believe?

Judge Ostrander was a rocluse of the most uncompromising type; but he was such for only half his time. From ten in the morning till live In the afternoon, he came and went like any other cltlsen, fulfilling his judicial duties with the same scrupulous care as formerly and with more- affability. Indeed, he showed at times, and often when it was least expected, a mellowness of temper quite foreign to him in his early days. The admiration awakened by his fine appearance on the bench was never marred now by those quick and rasping tones of an easily disturbed temper which had given edge to his invective when he stood as pleader in the very court where he now presided as judge. But away from the bench, once quit of the courthouse and the town, the man who attempted to accost him on his way to his carriage or sought to waylay him at his own gate had need of all his courage to sustain the rebuff his presumption incurred. The son, a man of great ability who was making his way as a journalist m give of his father's peculiarities. Though he never came to Shelby—the rupture between the two, if rupture it were, seeming to be completethere were many who had visited him la his own place of business and pat such questions concerning the judge and his eccentric manner of living* ••} much further than a timid and heelwould not leave for court till his return— he had never, in all the eight years she had been sitting in that window making buttonholes, shown any hesitation in his methodical relocking of the gate and subsequent quick departure. But this morning he had lingered in the gateway peering to right and left in a way so unlike himself that the moment he was out of sight she could not help running down thev lane to see if hef suspicions were correct And they were. Not only had he left the gate unlocked, but he had done so purposely. She had about decided that It was only proper for her to enter and make sure that all was right with the judge when she saw a woman looking at her from the road—a woman all in purple even to the veil which hid her features. A little child was with her, and the two must have stepped into the road from behind some of the bushes, as neither of them were anywhere in sight when she herself came running down from the corner. It was enough to startle anyone, especially as the woman did not speak* but just stood silent and watching her through a veil the like of which was not to be found In Shelby, and which in itself was enough to rouse a decent woman's suspicions. She was so(amased at this that aha stepped back and attempted to address the stranger. But before she bad got They Buret Through the tsoond Qata. direction, bat left the saw of earV catty unsatisfied. And unsatisfied It had 'remained ap to this hour, when through aeddent— or was It treachery—the barrier to knowledge was down and the Question of years seemed at teat upon the point of being answered.

"And she''s in there still r "I haven't seen her come out" "Then what's the matter with you?" called a burly, high-strung woman, stepping hastily from the group and laying her hand upon the gate still standing temptingly ajar. 'It's no time for nonsense," she announced, as she pushed it open and stepped promptly in, followed by the motley group of men and women who, If they lacked courage to lead, certainly showed willingness to follow. One glance and they felt their courage rewarded. Rumor, which so often deceives, proved Itself correct in this case. A second gate confronted them exactly like the first, even to the point of being held open by a pebble placed against the post Aad a second fence, also! bunt upon the same pattern aa the one they bad just passed through; the two forming a double barrier aa mysterious to contemplate in fact as It had ever been In fancy.

"Look at this!" she whispered, pushing the curtain inward with a quick movement. Sunshine! A stream of it, dazzling them almost to blindness and sending them, one and all, pellmell back upon each other! However dismal the approach, here all was in brilliant light with every evidence, before them of busy life. The room was not only filled, but crammed, with furniture. This was the first thing they noticed; then, as their blinking eyes became accustomed to the glare and to the unexpected confusion of tables and chairs and screens and standing receptacles for books and pamphlets and boxes labeled and padlocked, they beheld something else. The judge was there, but In what a condition. From the end of the forty-foot room his seated figure confronted them, silent staring and unmoving. With clenched fingers gripping the arms of hie great chair and head held forward, he looked like one frosen at the moment of doom, such the expression of features usually so noble, and now almost unrecognisable were it not for the snow white of his locks and his unmistakable brow. Frosen! Not an eyelash quivered, nor was there any perceptible movement in his sturdy chest His eyes were on their eyes, but he saw no one; and down upon his head and over his whole form the sunshine poured from a large window let into the celling directly above him* lighting', up the strained and unnatural aspect of his remarkable countenance end bringing into sharp prominence the commonplace objects cluttering the table at his elbow. Inarticulate murmurs swelled and ebbed, now louder, now more faintly as the crowd surged forward or drew back, appalled by that moveless, breathless, awe-compelling figure. A breathless moment; then the horrified murmur rose here, there and everywhere: "He's dead! He's dead!" When quietly and convincingly a bluff masculine voice spoke from the doorway behind them: "You needn't be frightened. In an hour or a half-hour he will be the same as ever. My aunt has such attacks. They call it catalepsy." Imperceptibly the crowd dwindled; the most discreet among them quite content to leave the house; a few, and these the most thoughtful, devoted all their energies to a serious quest for the woman and child whom they continued to. believe to be in hiding somewhere inside the walls she had so audaciously entered. The small party decided to start their search by a hasty inspection of the front hall, when a shout and scramble in the passages beyond cut short their intent and held them panting and eager, each to bis place. Frightened, they drew their gasa from tho rigid figure in the chair, and, with bated breaths and rapidly paling cheeks, listened to the distant murmur on the far-off road. What was it? They could not guess, and It was with unbounded relief they pressed forward to greet the shadowy form of a youag girt hurrying toward them from the rear, with news In her face. She spoke quickly. "The woman Is gone. , Harry Donne saw her sliding out behind us just after we came in. She was 'hiding in some of the corners here and slipped out by the kitchen way when we were not looking. He has gone to see—" Breathlessly Miss Weeks cut the girl's story abort; breathlessly she rushed to the nearest window, and, helped by willing hands, succeeded in forcing It up and tearing a hole In the vines, through which they one and all looked out in eager excitement A motley throng of people were crowding in through the double gateway. Some one was in their grasp. It was Bela! Bela, the giant! Bela, the terror of the town, no longer a terror but a struggling, half-fainting figure, fighting to free himself and get In advance, despite some awful hurt whleh blanched his coal-black features and made his great limbs falter, while still keeping his own aad making his way, by shear force of will, up the path aad the two stops of entrance— his body alternately staking back of ptongiag forward aa those ia taw rear MANITOBA'S AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRY REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THAT PROVINCE DURING THE PA8T FEW YEARS. The past year has shown that the Province of Manitoba, the Premier Province of Western Canada, stands out prominently in point of wealth in her agricultural productions. Manitoba had an excellent yield of wheat in 1914. the oat crop was not so good, and with the high price received, every far aer was placed in a good financial position. For some years, as is probably the case in all. new countries, Manitoba went largely Into the growing of grain, and while this paid well for a time, it was found that having to purchase his meat, his milk and a number of other daily requisites, the farm did not pay as it should. Now, there is another side to it. Fodder crops are grown, cattle are being raised, cheese factories and creameries are established, and the result is that the financial position of the farmers of Manitoba is as strong as that of those in any other portion of the continent. Scarcely a farmer today but has realized that the growing of grains alone has a precarious side, and that positive security can only be assured by diversified farming, and securing the latest modern and most economic methods. Therefore timothy, clover, alfalfa, rye grass and fodder corn are universally grown. Most wonderful success meets the efforts of the farmers in the cultivation of these grasses, and the yields compare favorably with thoee of many older countries, while in many cases they exceed them. It is worth while recording the acreage of these crops this season as compared with last, because the figures reflect the remarkable progress that Is befng made in dairying and in the beef and pork industry. In 1913 brome grass was sown on 24,912 acres, rye grass on 21,917 acres, timothy on 118,712 acres, clover on 5,328 acres, alfalfa on 4,709 acres and fodder corn on 20,223 acres. In 1914 the respective acreage under those crops were 25,444 acres, 27,100 acres, 165,990 acres, 7,212 acres, and 10,250 acres and 30,430 acres. Alfalfa particularly is coming into its own, the acreage having been more than doubled last year. It Is simply the natural process of evolution from the purely grain farm* ing which Manitoba knew as the only method twenty years ago to the more diversified forms of agriculture that is responsible for the development along these other lines in this Province. Alberta is coming to it at an earlier stage than did Manitoba. Saskatchewan, too, is following rapidly in the same direction. Then, as her fodder crop and root crop acreage Indicate, there have been increases in the holdings of all kinds of live stock during the past twelve months, according to the correspondent for the Toronto Globe. Beef cattle number 42,000 head this year, as against 37,000 last year; milch cows are 160,474 head, as against 157,963 head; pigs number 325,000 as against 248,000; sheep number 75,000, as against 52,000; and there are 325,000 horses, as compared with 300,000 at this time last year. These are the latest Provincial figures, and they show that despite the great efflux of live stock to the United States since the opening of that market to Canada, the capital amount of live aal* magf has Increased Instead of having decreased through the extra demand. Dairying the Prinelpsl Industry. Dairying Is the Industry, however, which is making dollars for the Manitoba farmer. It Is developing at a rapid rate in this Province for that particular reason. The output pf creamery butter last year was 4,000,000 pounds, st an average price of 27.6 cents per pound, which waa an lacrease over the previous year of a million pounds. The output of dairy butter was recorded last year at 4,288,- 276 pounds. The Government department says that again this year a substantial increase m the dairy output will he shown from this Province, From this same source of information one finds that through the splendid growth in winter dairying; Winnipeg now, for the first time tat years, Is abt* to obtain a sufficient supply of milk and sweet cream from its city dairies to satisfy its demand throughout the year without having to Import large oaantities of those products from the United States aa was done not longer than two years ago—Advertisement Improved Clraaaaitaness.

Here is a part of his story: "We farmers need awakeing to the fact that we have unmistakably reached the period where we most think aod plan. I am one of the slow German farmers that had to be shown, and I am now giving my experience that others maj£ profit, for knowledge is more expensive now than ten years ago. **Tweiity-nioe years ago I began my farm career. I bad an old team and $50. Oar furniture was mostly -home-made-chairs', cup board and lounge made from dry .goods boxes, nttttly covered with ten-cent cretonne by my £iri wife. We rented eighty acres. Being a boy of good habits, I got all needled machinery and groceries of oar home merchants ou credit, until fall crops were sold, The first year ery, clothing for sickness or death,' we had to wait and send away for it, which Wasn't so pleasant. One by one our merchants moved to places where they were appreciated, and men of less energy moved in. Gradually our town has gone down;our business houses are 'lackey' in appearance, a number are empty, otir schools, churches and walks are going down, we have no band, no library nor ball team. There is no business done in the town, and, therefore, no taxes to keep up. Hotel is closed for lack of travel. Go down to the depot when the train pulls in and you will see the sequel in mail order packages. "Nine years ago my farm was worth 1195 an acre; to-day I'd have a hard matter to sell it at $167 an acre. It is "too far from a live town"—so every.farmer has said that wants to buy. He wants a place near schools and churches, where his children can have advantages. I have awakened to the fact that in helping to pull the town down, it has cost me $5,600 in nine years."

MEANS ABOUT $30,000,000 Consequences of the War Held by Commerce Commission to Give Ground for Raising Income Between East and West. Washington.—Dec. 21.—Increases In freight rates approximating 5 per cent on 123 railroads, comprising all the lines between the Atlantic seaboard and the Mississippi, north of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, were granted by the interstate commerce commission in a divided opinion, exempting on certain heavy commodities, which comprise a large bulk of the traffic. The increases will further apply to the railroads west of Buffalo and Pittsburgh, which were granted partial advances in the decision of last August,, which denied them altogether to the roads east of those points. It is estimated* the advanced rates will increase the annual income of the roads about $30,000,000. The commission made its decision upon the showing of the railroads that In addition to conditions from which they previously asked relief they now are confronted with an emergency because of the war in Europe. After further consideration the commission permits advances to be made also on cement, starch, brick, tile, clay and plaster. On these commodities no advances were permitted by the decision of August 1. The commission was divided on the question of granting the railroads' appeal. Commissioners Clements and Harlan dissented from the opinion of the majority. The decision, in part, was as follows: . "In view of the tendency toward a diminishing net operating income, as shown by the facts described, we are of the opinion that the net operating Income of the railroads in official classification territory, taken as a whole, is smaller than is demanded in the interests of the general public and the railroads, and it is our duty and our purpose to aid so far as we legally may, In the solution of the problem as to the course that the carriers may pursue to meet the situation." The commission did not acquiesce in the carriers' proposal of a general increase, as indicated in the tariff filed by them, but suggested various methods by which they might properly conserve their revenues. "For various reasons we shall except from the proposed increase the following rates: "1. Rail-lake-and-rail, lake-and-rail and rail-and-lake rates. It Is shown on the record that since the rail carriers acquired ownership and control of the lake lines successive Increases have been made in the rates via lake tending to lessen the differences between them and the all-rail rates. "2. Rates on bituminous coal and soke. Not long since these rates were investigated and maximum rates were prescribed by the commission. The key rateB upon. bituminous coal—the rate from the Pittsburgh district to Toungstown, and the rate on lake cargo coal to Ashtabula, have been fixed In the light of the various factors which entered into the transportation of such coal. The prevailing rates are remunerative, and the financial condition of the principal bituminous coal carriers is in marked contrast with that of many other carriers in Official classification territory. « "3. Rates on anthracite coal and Iron ore, largely because they are before us In review in other proceedings. "4. Rates held by unexpired orders of the commission."

BANK ROBBER IS SLAIN BY CINCINNATI POLICEMEN Held Up Two Instltotlons and Escaped With $13,000—Career Is Ended After Fierce Fight Cincinnati, O., Dec. 19.—A threehour career of crime by one man, which included the robbing of two Cincinnati banks, pistol shot accompaniments, the theft of two automobiles and a duel with policemen in which one officer and the robber were shot and fatally wounded, marked the most sensational day in Cincinnati's criminal history. The bandit is Frank .Hohl, whose home Is In Philadelphia. He was mortally wounded in a sensational street duel with Policeman Edward Knaull and died shortly after being taken to the city hospital. Knaull also was probably fatally wounded. Before the shooting Hohl had robbed the Eighth street branch of the Provident Savings bank, where he got away with more than seven thousand dollars, and the Liberty Savings bank, where he got more than#ix thousand dollars. What became of the loot remains a mystery. Knaull, a patrolman, and George Winter, cashier at the Liberty Savings bank, were slightly injured. Hohl first stole an automobile. He then drove to the branch bank on Eighth street shortly before eleven o'clock in the morning, "shot up" the place, and stole $7,600. Then he drove to the Liberty bank; again used his revolver, injuring the cashier; stole $5,610, and again escaped. U. 8. HA8 O N E MINE LAYER. Rear Admiral Fiske 8tartles House by Testimony. Washington, Dec. 19.—Despite the length of the American coast, the United States navy has only one ship equipped to lay submarine mines the house naval committee was told by Rear Admiral Ftske, a member of the general board of the navy. Admiral Fiske* said this nation shoura have more mine-laying ships than Germany on account of the longer coast line of the United States. Germany has five mine layers. Representative Butler of Pennsylvania strenuously objected to this portion of Admiral Flake's testimony. He said the admiral should not be asked to discuss such weaknesses in public. "If I were an unfriendly nation," said Butler, "that is exactly the kind of Information I would want We tell the world we have but one ship to lay mines." "The other nations know it anyway," interjected Representative Hobson. "What we want to do is to let the people of the United States know the truth or else we will never get any more ships." Admiral Flake waa permitted to answer Hobson's Question as to the equipment for faying mines. Champion Quolte Player Dead. London, Dec 17.—M. H.

X. Revelations by On* Whose Experience Jn the Buelnes Cover• a Range From Office Boy to General lanager HOW WE DIVI1D2E D THE MONEY. The furniture department in our catalogue was a great and immediate success. The "fake" illustrations caught the eye of the people and the orders poured in with every mall. We found out that whenever a customer ordered one article there were always a number of others included with the first And the orders were all cash, of course. I don't remember in those days that we ever had an inquiry for credit They seemed glad to get the goods by paying the cash and they seemed to get the money together In some manner. We were busy. We moved. away from the city where the business was started and now had a big establishment in one of the biggest of the eastern cities. Our tiny leaflet of a catalogue had increased to over fifty pages and there seemed to be no limit'to our prosperity. My work was now almost entirely connected with the catalogue. I wrote the descriptions, ordered the illustrations made by the wood engravers, superintended the printing and mailing departments and was up to my collar in work all of the time. Whenever anything of importance arose in connection with the business I was always called into a conference with Y and Z and we settled any question that arose. One day I was called in and the doors were shut and locked. There was something of importance to be discussed. "Look here, X, we are going to incorporate this business," said Y with a peculiar expression in his eyes. I had seen this expression before and I held myself on guard, in readiness to be very careful of my speech and action as I knew I had need of caution. It was like the "hands up" of a highwayman, that look was. "Yes, we are going to incorporate and we are going to take you In as one of the Incorporators," supplemented Z. I held my peace. Here was something worth listening to. Seeing that I asked no questions and was waiting for them to go ahead they looked at each other until finally Y said: "We are going to incorporate for one hundred thousand dollars." He continued to explain, with interpolations by Z and an occasional question by myself until it came about that they had decided to make me a present of one thousand dollars of the capital stock. Sounds generous, don't it? Well, it didn't to me. We had always discussed the possibility some day of Incorporation and it had always been held out to me that I was to have a good slice of the capital stock. So I took up the burden of the argument. I explained my viewpoint, recited the various services I had rendered, the departments I had introduced, the improvement in the business, etc., for all of which I claimed a good part of the credit It was due me, too, because I had developed Into the handy man about the shop for doing all of the hard work. We nearly fcad a row over it. I was determined that if they did not treat me with fairness, that I would withdraw and I knew where I could interest capital.if necessary to start another mall order business. In fact, I had the capital myself, for by this time I was drawing a salary of three thousand a year, about $60 per week, and I had saved a good share of my salary. I told them so with all frankness. It resulted in their giving me $15,000 of the capital stock and an Increase in salary to $5,000 a year. Y and Z took each $25,000, which took out $66,- 900 of the stock. It was decided to sell out the other $34,000 of stock at par if they had a buyer for cash and of this sum I was to have 15 per cent The deal was put through and I. found myself a comparatively rich man. Later, when the capitalisation was Increased to millions, I got my share of the increased valuation so that I have made pretty well out of it Of course in this matter I am giving fictitious figures. I will not give any more details now because it would be too easy for you to guess more* for it is ho part of my plan to tell you too much about the interior workings of bur organization. We nave figured it all out many times Just what becomes of your dollar that you send in to us with an order. About one-half of it goes for payment for the goods ordered. The rest is divided into dimes and cents for the payment of postage, printing, maintenance of plant, Insurance, office help, etcT, and last and bast sf all into dividends for the stockholders. The families of Y And Z are now looked upon aa merchant princes They have their yachts, their automo biles, their racing stables, their varl OUB establishments. They take their annual tours in various parts of the world and they live off the best the world can supply. And why? Because you have sent your dollars to the mail order house, established by their fathers many years ago Each year you send more dollars and the wealth piles up in the banks. All because of the clever wording/ of our catalogue descriptions. All because you will have the unreal Instead of the genuine, because you will- insist on dealing with the unknown instead of trading with your own home merchants. It is hum** nature for you to do this because the fule of life is to follow the will-o'-the-wisp blindly. Everybody does this, everybody Itries to grasp the indefinite Instead of grabbing the things at "bur very home door. Really It is laughable when you come to think of it. You sent your dollars to us because you fancied and hoped that the distance, which gives enchantment to the view, would send you something in the way of a great prize. Of course we did not. We spend our dollars like water In foreign lands while at home we do not find so much to interest us— rather we think that we do not. Year after year I have made the pilgrimage into practically all of the foreign lands. It has cost me, I do not care to say how many, thousands of dollars. Yet all this time I know and realize that we have better things to see, better things to ride in, better thiigs to eat, than any other land. To the crooked and thieving guides in Paris and London and Berlin we aie the "easy marks." We are the simpleminded. We are the deluded, the easily decoyed. The gilded palaces of revelry in Paris and Vienna, the unwholesome cabaret of St Petersburg and Brussels, the gambling hell of Monaco, the glittering vice halls of Cairo—are all maintained by American dollars. We support them. We make them rich. We have made champagne a necessity, we have made truffles and mushrooms both expensive and desirable- It's the history of life. Every creature shall prey upon the weaker. Ani we are the weaker who lavish our money on this sort of foolishness. * /t is really true tha; it is you, the people of the soil, the dwellers In the country, who are the wiser, After all. We seek dissipation and spend our energy and health as well as our dollars In looking for excitement. It is to you, in the country, that the nation looks in time of war. Whp not in peace also? The strength lies with you. The power Is within your grasp. All you must do is to exercise your rights of franchise and your good sense and judgment. Try It Get together among yourselves in you scattered communities. Hold meetings. Discuss among your solves what you ought to do to improve conditions. Talk it over—how to keep the money at home. Simply feather your own nests, that's all. Make your efforts count to your own advantage. Is It possible that the dissensions and petty jealousies that are popularly supposed to exist in all small communities cannot be done away with so that you can all combine for the good of the whole? What if an armed power were on the way down the county road to burn and sack your town and cut the throats of your women and children? What would you do? Would you sidestep a mass meeting, called to create a defense, because 8111 Jones or Hank Buncomb was going to be there? Would you sulk and refuse to have a thing to do with the defense plan Just because you had somu grievance, real or otherwise, against somebody who would be there? Not on your life. It would be a grand rally. It would be "Hello Bill* and "Hello Hank," "Gimme a lift with this pesky cannon." "Cut a buckle hole in this strap for a belt to hold up my sword." "Hand over the powder there, I want to fire a few bullets at the enemy." That's the spirit Unite for the common, interest with "trade at home" as your slogan. Sail and Rudder. The sails of boats are our emotions, the rudders are our characters. Oar sails are breathed upon by gentle zephyrs of affection, and inclination,^* hope, and love, and of hate. They are torn by sudden gusts of passion. We' are blown hither and yon by conflict of-quarreling winds, driven from our course by angry squalls. The only force by means of which we can counteract the effect of the winds and hold our course is the rudder of character. We know that we shall be blown upon all our lives by various influences; gepd and bad; that onr amotions— those white sails that respond to every breese—will be playod upon by every human appeal and desire.

The woman has disappeared but the judge i s found in a cataleptic state. CHAPTER I—Continued. fell was an awful and a terrifying <J/0* to little Miss Weeks and, scream- -•png loudly, she left her window and Iran into Judge Oetrander's presence, land, gazing wildly about, wormed her [way toward a heavily carved screen jguarding a distant .corner and cowered -down behind it. The gasping, struggling men, the tfrantic negro, were in the next room now—she could catch the sound of the latter's panting breath rising above the clamor of strange entreaties and excited cries wjth which the air was (full; then a quick, hoarse shout of r' Judge I Judge!" rose in the doorway, land she became conscious of the pree- -ence of a headlong, rushing force struck midway into silence as the frozen figure of his master flashed upon the negro's eyes—then—a growl of concentrated emotion, uttered almost In her ear, and the screen which had been her refuge was violently thrust away from before her and in its place she beheld a terrible being standing over her, in whose eyes, dilating under this fresh surprise, she beheld her doom, even while recognizing that If she must suffer it would be simply as an obstacle to some goal at her back which be must reach—now—before he fell in his blood and died. What was this goal? As she felt herself lifted, nay, almost hurled aside, she turned to see and found It to be a door before which the devoted Bela had now thrown himself, guarding it with every inch of his powerful but rapidly sinking body, and chattering defiance with his bloodless, quivering lips—a figure terrible in anger, sublime in purpose, and piteous in its failing energies.- "Back! all of you!" he cried, and «topped, clutching at the door casing ion either side to hold himself erect. "You cannot dome in here. This is the Judge's—" Not even his iron resolve or once mnequaled physique could stand the sapping of the terrible gash which disfigured his forehead. He bad been run over by^tfautbmoblle in a moment of blind abstractio\andjhls hurt was mortal.

Bis head ieQ forward again tad In that intense moment of complete silence they could hear the splash of his lifeblood as it dropped from niB forehead on to the polished boards beneath: then he threw up his arms and fell in a heap to the floor. "Dead!" broke from little Mies Weeks as3 she flung herself down in reckless abandonment at his side. She had never known an agitation beyond some fluttering woman's hope she had stifled as'soon as born, and now she knelt in blood. A solemn hush, then a mighty sigh of accumulated emotion swept from lip to lip, and the crowd of later invaders, already abashed if not terrified by the unexpected spectacle of suspended animation which confronted them from the judge's chair, shrank tumultously back as little Miss Weeks advanced upon them, holding out her meager arms in late defense of the secret Jo save which she had just seen a man die. "Let us do as he wished," she prayed. "I feel myself much to blame. What right had we to come in here?" No one in authority was present; no one representing the law, not even a doctor; only haphazard persons from the street and a few neighbors who had not been on social terms with the judge for years and never expected to be so again. His secret!—always a source of wonder to every inhabitant of Shelby, but lifted now into a matter of vital importance by the events of the day and the tragic death of the negro! Were they to miss its solution, when only a door lay between it and them—a door which they might not even have to unlock? Miss Weeks was about to utter an impassioned appeal to their honor, when the current of her and their thoughts was changed by a sudden sense of some strange new influence at work in the room, and turning, they beheld the judge upon his feet, his mind awakened, but his eyes still fixed—an awesome figure; some thought more awesome than before. Death was present with them—he saw it not. Strangers were making havoc with his solitude—he was as oblivious of their presence as he had been unconscious of it before. His faculties and all his attention were absorbed by the thought which had filled his brain when the cogs of that subtle mechanism had slipped and his faculties paused jBert. "Where is the woman?" he cried. It was a cry of fear; not of mastery. CHAPTER II. The Veiled Woman. The intensity of the question, the compelling, self-forgetful passion of the man, had a startling effect upon the crowd of people huddled before him. With one accord, and without stopping to pick their way, they made for the open doorway, knocking the smaller pieces of furniture about and creating havoc generally. Some fled the house;, others stopped to peer in again from behind the folds of the curtain which had been only partially torn from its fastenings. Miss Weeks was the only one to stand her ground, i When the room was quite cleared and the noise abated (it was a frightful experience to see how little the Judge had been affected by all this hubbub of combined movement and 'sound) she stepped within the line of his vision and lifted her feeble and ineffectual hand in an effort to attract his attention to herself. • But he did not notice iter, any more than he had noticed the others. Still [looking in the one direction, he cried aloud in troubled tones: "She stood there! the woman stood there and I caw her! Where is she now?" "She is no longer in the. house," came in gentle reply from' the only one in or out of the room courageous enough to speak. "She went out when the taw us coming. We knew that the had no right to he here. That is why we intruded ourselves, sir. We did not like the looks of her, and to followed her in to prevent mischief." "How dared you! How dared she!" Then as his mind regained its full poise, "And how, even if yon had the temerity to venture an entrance hero, Ad yon manage to past my gates? They are never open, Bela teen to * » t " ^ As she watched she taw hit •yea* •ntd np to now upon her face, leave It •Hd pate furtiTely and with many heakf with fatal precision, they reached the point where the screen had stood, and not finding it, flew in open terror to the door it was set there to concealwhen that something else, huddled in oozing blood, on the floor beneath, drew them to itself with the irresistiblenesB of grim reality, and he forgot all else. Dead! Bela! Dead! and lying in his blood! The rest may have been no dream, but this was- surely one, or his eyes, used to inner visions, were playing him false. Grasping the table at hie side to steady his falling limbs, he pulled himself along by KB curving edge till he came almost abreaBt of the helpless figure which for so many years had been the embodiment of faithful and unwearied service. Then and then only did the truth of his great misfortune burst upon his bewildered soul; and with a cry which tore the ears of all hearers and was never forgotten by anyone there, he flung himself down beside the dead negro, and, turning him hastily over gazed in his face. "And where was I, when all this happened?" he demanded in a voice made low by awe and dread of its own sound. "You? You were seated here," murmured the little woman, pointing at the great chair. "You were not— quite—quite yourself," she softly explained, wondering at her own composure. Then quickly, as she saw his thoughts revert to the dead friend at his feet, "Bela was not hurt here. He was downtown when it happened; but he managed to struggle home and gain this place, which he tried to hold against the men who followed him. He thought you were dead, you Bat there so rigid and so white, and, before he quite gave up, he asked us all to promise not to let anyone enter this room till your son Oliver came." Understanding partly, but not yet quite clear in his mind, the judge sighed, and, stooping again, straightened the faithful negro's limbs. Then, with a sidelong look in her direction, he felt In one of the pockets of the dead negro's coat and, drawing out a small key, held it in one hand while he fumbled in his own for another, which found, he became on the instant his own man again. Miss Weeks, seeing the difference in him, and seeing, too, that the doorway was now clear of the wondering, awestruck group which had previously blocked it, bowed her slight body and proceeded to withdraw; but the judge, staying her by a gesture, she waited patiently near one of the bookracks against which she had stumbled, to hear what he had to say. "I must have had an attack of some kind," he calmly remarked. "Will you be good enough to explain exactly what occurred here that I may more fully comprehend my own misfortune and the death of this faithful friend." Then she saw that his faculties were now fully restored, and came a step forward. But before she could begin her story he added this searching question: "Was it he who let you in—-you and the others—I think you said others? Was it he who unlocked my gates?" Miss Weeks sighed and betrayed fluster. It was not easy to relate'her story; besides it was woefully incomplete. She knew nothing of what had happened downtown, she could only tell what had passed before her eyes. But there was one thing she could make clear to him, and that was how the seemingly impassable gates had been made ready for the woman's entrance and afterwards taken such advantage of by herself and others. A pebble had done it all—a pebble placed in the gateway by Bela's hands. As she described this and insisted upon the fact in face of the judge's almost frenzied disclaimer, she thought she saw. the hair move on his forehead. Bela a traitor, and in the interests of the woman who had fronted him from the other end of the room at the moment consciousness had left him! Evidently this intrusive little body did not know Bela or hit story, or— Why should Interruption come theh? Why was he stopped, when in the passion of the moment he might have let fall tome word of enlightenment which' would have eased the agitated curiosity of the whole town! Miss Weeks often asked herself this question and bewailed the sudden access of sounds in the rooms without, which proclaimed the entrance of the police anfl put a new strain upon the judge's faculty of self-control and attention to the one matter in hand. The commonplaces of an official inquiry were about to supersede the play of a startled spirit struggling with a problem of whose complexities he had received hut a glimpse. * • • • • * • The library again! but how changed! Evening light now instead of blazing sunshine; and evening light to shaded that the corners teemed far and the many articles of furniture, cumbering the spaces between, larger for the shadows in which they stood hidden. portion of the room where Bela had taken his stand and finally fallen; but from the place where he sat there was no getting any possible view of that part of the wall or of anything connected with it; and so, with every appearance of satisfaction at being allowed in the room at ail, Sergeant Doolittle from headquarters drank the judge's wine and listened for the judges commands. "Sergeant, I have lost a faithful servant under circumstances which have called an unfortunate attention to my house. I should like to have this place guarded—carefully guarded, you understand—from any and all intrusions till I can look about me and secure protection of my own. May I rely upon the police to do this, begining tonight at an early hour? There are loiterers already at the corner and in front of the two gates. I am not accustomed to these attentions, and ask to have my fence cleared." "Two men are already detailed for the job, your honqr. I heard the order given just as I left headquarters." The judge showed small satisfaction. "Two men! Couldn't I have three? One for each gate and one to patrol the fence separating these grounds from the adjoining lot?" "If two men are not enough to insure you a quiet sleep you shall have three or four or even more, Judge Ostrander. Do you want one of them to. stay inside? That might do the business better than a dozen out." "No. While Bela lies above ground, we want no third here.

Old, but Very Good, Are These Llttlfi Tit-Bits Which Most of Us Find a Pleasure in Between Real • Meals. Date cakes are novel and good Take one pound of dates, one-halt pound of English walnuts, the same quantity of figs and the white of one egg to make these. Seed the dates and chop them fine with the figs and nuts. Mix all together with the stiffly beaten white of the egg and bake in small drop-cakes. Peanut Crisps.—Peanut crisps are a fine substitute for the usual tea cakes. Shell a quart of peanuts and chop them fine. Add one cupful of powdered sugar, a tablespoonful of flour and the whites of two eggs. Beat up lightly and drop in spoonfuls on a buttered pan and brown in a moderate oven Lemon Wafers.—Lemon wafers and oranye wafers are made in the'same manner. Cream a cupful of butter with two cupfuls of sugar; work in two beaten eggs. Squeeze the juice from a large lemon and grate the rind. Add this to a small cupful of cold water and mix with the other ingredients. Then put in enough flour to make a dough stiff enough to roll. Roll very thin, cut in rounds or other shapes, and bake. Honey Candy.—To make honey candy, put half a pound of honey into a saucepan, add half a pound of sugar, one tablespoonful of cream and a dessertspoonful of cold water; then mix and stir well Allow to stand for one hour. Put over a moderate fire and cook, stirring gently until it is stiff enough to pull. Pour into buttered tins. When cool enough to handle pull and cut into small pieces. Caramels.—This recipe is very old and very good. Mix two cupfuls of chocolate, two cupfuls of milk, two cupfuls of molasses, two cupfuls of brown sugar and two-thirds of % cupful of butter together. Boil until it hardens ir water; but Just before it hardens flavor it with vanilla. "Who Is to Protect Me Against Your Men?" special to watch my room door. But it's of outside protection we're talking now. Only, who is to protect me against your men?" "What do you mean by that, your honor?" "They are human, are they not? They have instincts of curiosity like the rest of us. How can I be made sure that they won't yield to the temptation of their position and climb the fences they are detailed to guard?" "And would this be eo fatal to your peace, judge?" A smile tempered the suggestion. "It would be a breach of trust which would greatly disturb me. I want nobody on my grounds, nobody at all. Hat not my long life of solitude within these walls sufficiently proved this? I want to feel that these men of yours would no more climb my fence than they would burst into my house without a warrant." "Judge, I will be one of the men. Tou can trust me." "Thank you, sergeant i I appreciate the favor. I shall rtll % t i quietly as any man can who has met with a great loss. I shall always suffer from regret that I was not In a condition to receive Bela's last sigh. He wat a man In a thousand. One teldom sees hit like among white or black." . "He wat a very powerfully built man. It t,ook a slxty-horeepower racing machine, going at a high rate of speed, to kill him." A spasm of grief or unavailing regret grossed the judge's face at' his head sank back again against the high back of his Chair. "I should like to ask a question,** he finally observed. "Tou were not at the inquiry this afternoon, and may not know that jutt at Bela and the crowd about him turned this corner they ran into a woman leading a small child, who stopped the whole throng in order to address him. I taw that woman myself, earlier. She wat in this house. She wat in thit room. If you will content to look for her, and if the Is found and no stir made, I fill pay all that you think it right"! to demand." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Roatt Rabbit. Empty, skin and thoroughly wash the rabbit; wipe it dry, line the inside with sausage meat and forcemeat (the latter of bread crumbs, well seasoned and worked up). Sew the stuffing inside, skewer back the head between the shoulders, cut off the fore joints of the Bhoulders and legs, bring them close to the body and secure them by means of a skewer. Wrap the rabbit in buttered paper, keep it well basted, and a few minutes before it is done remove the-^aper, flour and froth it and let it acquire a nice brown color. It should be done in three-quarters of an hour. Take out the skewers and serve with brown gravy and red currant jelly. To bake the rabbit proceed in the same manner as above; in a good oven it will take about the same time as roasting. Most cooks garnish the rabbit with slices of lemon and serve up with currant jelly. Sometimes the head is cut off before sending to the table, but this is a matter of individual taste. Mushroom Stuffing. Add a small cupful of chopped mushrooms to a similar quantity ofxflne breadcrumbs, one tablespoonful ?f finely chopped ham, a teaspoonful of fine* ly chopped parsley, a dust of powdered thyme, a pinch of lemon rind and a small portion of onion. Mix all thoroughly, then fry in boiling fat, and use at a stuffing for marrow, tomatoes or large onions. To Preserve Cut Flowers. Cut flowers wither quickly from the heat In a room. If a small piece of camphor it placed in the water, it will keep them fresh much longer. The Cranberry Tart. We are all more or less familiar with cranberry tarts. Sometimes the tart shells are filled with plain sauce, while pie crust is latticed across the top. A cupful of seeded and chopped raisins may be added by way of variation. Whole berries cooked in sirup may be ueed at a meringue top. If the uncooked berries are used they thonld be mashed and well sweetened before being placed in the crust It requiret from forty-five minutes to an hour to thoroughly make the tarts in this case.

Saturday afternoon at the home of Dr. H, F. Sigler, a dramatization of the "Bird's Christmas Carol" was given under the auspices of Miss Kate Brown. Most people are probably familiar with the story in which an invalid child who is wealthy, conceives the idea of making Christmas day happy for a very poor family consisting of nine children. Both humor and pathos run throughout the Rook. Miss Brown dramatized the story in a very clever manner, arranging it in such a way that a caste, composed of the thirteen members of her Sunday] School Class in the M. E. Church, were able to act the play, in the presence of a delighted audience numbering nearly fifty people. Each and every one of the children performed bis or ber part well, especially little Lucy Glenn who took the part of the mother. Both Miss Brown and the children are to be complimented upon the sue* cess of their undertaking, Daring the entertainment m u s i c was rendered by Misses Blanche Martin, Norma Corlett and -Mrs. Grace Richards.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Careful Investigation, has shown that the soil is always changing. Water and wind are always at work moving its particles from place to place, carrying them ultimately Into the sea. For the most part this Is a beneficial process. Were each particle of soil to remain forever in one place, the fertility of the land would be rapidly exhausted. As It is, new, unweathered and unexhausted fragments of the underlying rocks are continually adding to the fertility of the soil zont by taking the place of the wornout particles which nature removes. Under certain circumstances, however, it frequently happens that this process takes place too rapidly, that the particles of topsoil are removed before the underlying rock fragments have been sufficiently prepared to take their places. This 1s the case especially in the arid and semlarid regions and In sections where the soil is particularly sandy in character. Under such conditions "soil blowing:" may be the cause of serious damage. In the first place the soil itself may be so blown away that subsoil insufficiently weathered and filled with humus to be ready for crops, comes to the surface; and secondly, the crops themselves may bo lost through the blowing out of the seed or the uprooting, burial or cutting off of the young plants. Few General Expedients. The best remedy, according to the United States department of agriculture, for the farmer who finds himself confronted with difficulties of this sort is to adopt ft system of crops which will cover his land with vegetation at seasons when strong, dry winds are moet prevalent The exact system which the individual farmer should follow depends, of course, upon the climate, the available markets, and other local factors. There are, however, a few general expedients which It would be well for him to bear in mind. For example, if fall plowing is not necessary, the stubble of the last crop should be left on the soil as.late as possible in the spring, or oats or barley may be sown in the late summer or early fall. The plants will be killed *by the frost and will form a protective mat on the soil surface. Another expedient is to protect a slowgrowing crop from wind damage by a nurse crop which, planted at the same time, will grow more rapidly ana shield the former until it is sufficiently far advanced7 to take care of itself. A thin«seeding of rye and barley used in connection with alfalfa is a common instance of this method. On dry lands, however, where the scarcity of water must be considered, this plan is open to the objection that the nurse crop deprives the soil of a certain amount pf much-needed moisture. Many farmers, therefore, prefer to introduce alfalfa and similar Blow-starting crops by drilling in the seed in high-cut stubble of thinly sown millet or thickly seeded kafir corn. Summer Fallow Facilities. The Use of the summer fallow greatly facilitates excessive soil blowing in sections where dangerous winds are prevalent in the summer time, because the land is left fully exposed. This danger may be avoided to a considerable extent by seeding rows of coarse-growing crops at Intervals across the fallow fields at right angles to the direction of the prevailing winds. Where the wind danger is especially great it might even be desirable to abandon the summer fallow altogether, substituting for it a leguminous crop which may be plowed under in the fall. This practice has the great advantage of adding humus to the soil, thereby not only increasing its fertility but also its resistance to wind action. The presence of humus is indeed one of the best protections against blowing, the presence of organic bodies In the soil increasing its water-holding power and therefore aiding in keeping the surface moist. The sandy trucking soils of the East may nearly always be made naturally resistant to wind action by the addition of humus through the systematic planting of leguminous crops. Another Protect kin Method, Another method of protecting fields is to plant rows of trees or bushes or to build fences as windbreaks. This is effective but apt to be expensive not only because of the actual cost outlay involved but because of the amount of land which is left unproductive. For this reason the use of such artificial windbreaks can hardly be recommended for extensive agriculture, and is usually restricted to the. cultivation of fruits, garden vegetables, etc. Where windbreaks are erected, care should be taken to see that they are composed of trees or bushes whlen do not harbor insect pests and whose roots will not spread out Into the adjoining fields. Supply of Protein. Clover belongs to the same family as alfalfa, and can also be used to excellent advantage in connection with corn. Both hay plants supply the nutrient which is lacking in corn, namely, protein, to give a well-balanced ration, though alfalfa is somewhat richer than clover in this. Plant Trees. Plant trees. Nothing adds more to the appearance of a country home or, in fact, makes it look more like home than a house set in the midst of a beautiful lawn dotted with trees, shrubs and flowers. Success With Poultry. The successful poultryman has not stepped into that all at once. He has arrived at that by the Slow and arduous road of experience.' He cannot stay there except by traveling the same road. Hgsfa ef a Tret I x p e e e * by Soil Blowing. WITH CHANTILLY LACE EXQUISITE MODEL FOR A FALL EVENING GOWN. y Every Detail of the Preaent Mode Contained in the Accompanying Design—FavoritexBlack and White Are the Colore. The model jUfifctrated today is typical of the flft^flvening gowns. Dainty and feminine looking, there is/a very obvious dignity about it that marks it for the new order of things and enhances its charm to a degree. Since black and black and white Black Lace la Back In Favor. affects are so modish this season, black lace has been brought Into favor once again, especially chantilly. Black laces have in general been out of the reckoning, but now it is just the thing for long transparent tunics, and there is a variety of ways of using it. The illustrated evening gown shows a chantilly tunic effectively bordered with white fur. The body part of the corsage and the short-pouched tunic are of black chiffon velour ornamented with circles of smoked pearl beads. The V decolletage allows a glimpse of white mallnes folded over the bust, and there Is a little flaring collar of the Bame at the back. Chantilly is again employed in the sleeves, and these, too, are bordered with a narrow white fur banding. The lace tunic veils a white taffeta skirt, which is completed below the length of the tunic with black chiffon velours, bordered, in turn, with the white fur. A recent twist of this idea of the lace tunic substitutes a net foundation built upon with flounces of lace, wide or narrow, or it may be that the net is crossed and recrossed with lace insertions, finished about Its lower edge with a wide self hem, or with a broad band of black velvet or taffeta. Velvet ribbon is playing an important part in tt^e decorative schemes of both day and evening dresses as a tunic border. MAKES DAINTY MENU CARD Design That May Be Colo.-ed at Home —Most Appropriate for Simple Formal Dinner. Those of our readers who are artistically inclined may like to try their hands at producing some dainty menu cards of the nature shown in oar sketch. Gilt-edged cards of various pale shades of .color can be purchased very inexpensively for this purpose and they should measure about three and a half Inches by four inches In size. To the back of the cards a support should be fitted made of a wedgeshaped piece of white card, hinted on at the top with a short piece of tape. Diagram A on the right at the top the support and the back of the card another short piece of tape should be fastened with a drop of glue, to prevent the Support opening too far. Diagram B Illustrates thlB, a cross again indicating the tape. On the front of the card running down the left hand side and along the top, some pretty little floral design, such as suggested in our sketch, can be painted in water colors, and the word "Menu" can be painted in the center in a color chosen possibly to match or harmonize with the color of the blossoms. Sets of, say, half a dozen of these cards with different pretty floral designs painted upon them would make a novel feature on a stall at a bazaar and be sure to sell well. RIBBONS IN GREAT VARIETY Ail Descriptions and Shades Called Into Use Both for Girdles and . ..Trimmings. Rich satin, faille and moire ribbons are used for girdles and hat trimmings. Girdles are either plain, of striped broche, or a combination of ribbons. Velvet brocades have entire velvet figures, or satin flowers outlined with velvet Velvet stripes appear in dark, rich roman ribbons Many rich ribbons are very dark, such shades as dark brown, navy, purple, mahogany, russian and stem greens, etc., and are blended with hair lines pf black, yellow, scarlet, pale blue and green satin, or one wide one of black satin. Girdles and sashes of brocade have a rich effe# with a plain colored gown. For evening or dancing gowns rich satin girdles are worn, and fancy stripes set off a simple serge or cotton dress. Soft finished ribbons are used for crush girdles. Tinsel ribbons heavy with gold or silver scrolls or flowers are very handsome and are used for girdles or for collar, vest or cuffs. Ribbon tassels of black ribbon are fur tipped and used as a coquettish finish on some of the close turbans worn tipped sharply on the side. FOR KNITTING OR CROCHET Novel and Easily Made Bag, Which Requires Only Remnants for its Material. Our sketch shows a useful bag of a very novel nature that can be carried out with the aid of a remnant of almost=any strong material and that is convenient to use and easy to make. It can be prepared in any size to suit the requirements of the owner, i sffSv and consists of a broad band of ma* terial, lined with sateen and bound at the edges with narrow ribbon. The side pieces are made of soft satin gathered Into a little frill at the top and they are semicircular in shape and sewn on to the edges of the center piece. The handles are made of silk, cord attached to small key-rings fattened on to the sides of the bag with tabs of ribbon. To open it the handles have merely to be pulled apart, and the bag can then be laid almost flat upon the table so that the whole of the contents will be exposed and any article it may contain selected in a moment To make the tabs for fastening on the rings, cut a short piece of ribbon into points at both ends, then pass one end through the ring, fold-the ribbon and sew it together at the edges. It can afterward be sewn in place upon the side of the bag and the handle tied on in the manner shown in the sketch. / Good Plan. A* young "Worn an who was making some soft cushions and comforts found that the cotton filling that she was using had become slightly damp. This made it difficult i6 thrust the needle through in tying the comfort, so she placed the cotton in the oven to dry and become slightly browned. As a result it became very light and fluffy and held its flufflness. Treated this way it holds its resilience, and does not mat and pack down. Chantilly Capes. Capes of chantilly, ornamented With embroidery, are formed- in loose sacks, dark blue, silver and deep red appearing in the stitchery. Sometimes the chantilly is mounted over a" cape of black tulle for young girls. They are just little sacks with kimono sleeves. — _ - . . „ _ . w the long fronts turned under and of the illustration shows this, the ' caught into the belt; this make, a cross indicating the tape.

"Distinctively Individual"' y MIGHT HAVE BY THE SCENT Englishman's Answer to Inquiry Might Have Been Termed Personal by Some People. A certain English humorist, visiting America, was spending the week in a town on Cape Cod. One afternoon he boarded a trolley car and found the only available seat next to a roughly dressed and hearty down- Easterner. Englishman's jaunty cane and neat outing clothes evidently attracted and amused the workingman, and with a quick look at his friends across the car, he touched a finger to his cap. "Excuse me. sir," he inquired, "but don't you come from Manchester-bythe- Sea?" The Englishman adjusted the wejlknown monocle, exaggerated his stare, and replied: "Bah J6ve How did you surmise it? And am I wrong in thinking that you are from Gloucester-bythe- smell?" At the First' Signs Of falling hair get Cuticura.

They aren't up to date and as full of the modern spirit of progress and invention as the toymakers believe them, to be." Thus spoke one who Is a sort of professional Santa Claua—that is, he has played the part at so many Sunday school Christmas parties that he sometimes imagines he is. growing cotton whiskers. "They display the* same quaint, sample, old-fashioned taste as their grandfathers and grandmothers when they were children," he continued. "Most of them, do, anyhow. Every year the toy manufacturers break loose with a new crop of automatic racing cars, aeroplanes, submarines, fire engines end kicking donkeys. If the children were constructed on the same nervous clock-work plan, they would give old Santa Claua no rest unless he kept up with all the modern inventions. Instead of toy soldiers they would demand mbrtar batteries, and they would not* be satisfied with mooley cows, but would demand that they have pedi- /grees and give only certified milk and cream.

They would require Mr. Noah to carry a pilot's license as well as a college degree in natural history. All the animals would have to be trained to do tricks, and poor Noah's family would have a fine time herding them while wearing wooden raincoats and stove-pipe hats. "Fortunately children, real children, are not constructed that way. They want their arks on the old-fashioned plan, whereby you lift off the roof and find Noah minus his head, and most of the animals trying to hobble on three legs. "Automobiles in miniature, ..lth real upholstered seats and rubber tires may fascinate a small boy for a few hour's, but you'd better place your faith in a good, old-pattern rocking horse, with saddle and stirrups, and a mane and. tail of real hair. The rocking horse is not going out of fashion by a long ways, and' 1^ predict that in the horseless age, if 'that time ever comes, our children's children wilf be jerking the mane of a wooden 'horsey' and whipping him on his painted flanks, and trying to feed him crackers. Also, they'll be falling off his back and bumping their little foreheads in the old-fashioned way, and 'horsey' will have to be thrashed and locked up in the clothes closet for his bad behavior. "And as for dolls, you've got to give them real 'baby dolls' and not grand ladles in the latest tango gowns and hats. For the last 50 years or so doting parents who are well to do ha*f been trying the experiment of present-; ing their little girls with waxen fash% ion models—only to find the precious one crying for the rag baby of the laundress' daughter. Children show the real mother instinct when they spurn the 'play-child' which is too dressy and up to date. "I have one friend, the father of a large and lively family. I make him happy every Christmas time by presenting his kids with a bunch of cheap, mechanical toys. After about half an hour of winding them up, the little ones tire of the clicking*wonders and return to their woolly dogs, rubber dolls and other simple favorites. That Js when father's fun begins. He insists on winding up the toys and running, them til Christmas day, ostensibly for the. pleasure of his youngsters. H e does not cease winding until the toys begin to get out of order, and then he has* the additional pleasure of trying to repair them. Sometimes 1 think that a manufacturer could make a fortune selling toys Just for grown-ups. Seeing a bunch of adults busy working mechanical toys reminds me o&the time when the whole family, insists on taking little Johnny to the circus. HE good old custom of hanging inJfttietoe from the ceiling at the Christmas festivities is said to have its origin in the idea that since the plant did not have its roots in the ground no part of it should ever be permitted to touch the earth. Among the Saxons the fact that mistletoe was suspended from the roof of a dwelling intimated to the wayfarer that the hospitality of the house was at his disposal, and beneath its branches friend and stranger, vassal and lord, gathered in comradeship and good cheer. The religious aspect of the mistletoe tradition, which had its origin in the Druidical rites and the gathering of it by the archdruid with his golden sickle, merged later into a purely social symbol, and the idea of simple hospitality developed into one of merrymaking and a somewhat riotous entertainment. The kiss of the Scandinavian goddess expanded into the custom of a k)ss given for every berry that grew on the bough. Smalf wonder that, in spite of the mistletoe having originally existed In the odor of the sanctuary, the church came to regard it as an entirely pagan symbol and refused to allow it to participate with the lily and the evergreen in the Yuletide decorations. There is an ancient belief that the mistletoe was the tree from which the holy cross was hewn and that after this was made the plant withered and ever afterward became a mere parasitic growth, clinging for support to other and sturdier trees. Other stories, however, credit it with divine gifts in the healing of diseases and the expulsion of evil spirits. Ram, the high priest of the Celts, received in a dream the intimation that by means of the plant he would be enabled to save his people from the plague which was decimating them. To celebrate their delivery he instituted the feast of Noel (new health), a midwinter holiday, which has come to be considered coincident with the new year. In many partB of the United Kingdom the silver berries and the graygreen leaves of the mistletoe are looked upon as anything but an emblem of good cheer; on the contrary, the plant is regarded with dread as being the bringer of ill luck and the sign of ill omen. This superstition exists both in Devonshire and in Ireland, and, strange to say, in neither of these places does the plant flourish, owing, report has it, to the fact that both lncurre*d the displeasure of the Druids and were in consequence cursed in such a way that their soil became incapable of nourishing the sacred growth. In (he sixth book of Aeneid a lengthy description of the mistletoe is given by Virgil, who makes the Sybil describe to his hero the exact spot in hades where he will find it growing. There is little doubt that the strange ethereal appearance of the little opaque berry is largely responsible for the mystic character it has enjoyed among the people of divers nations from the earliest historical times.

One morning Mrs. Wilmington's attention was attracted by a strange spectacle coming up the street At that distance she could not quite make it out. It appeared to be some sort of animal with n headlight fastened to its forehead. As it carao nearer it resolved itself into the shape of a human being—perhaps some sheik with a red fez. But in another moment Mrs. Wilmington recognized Martha Maria Sophrina Smith, the seventeen-year-old colored girl who came every Monday for the laundry. Martha Maria had u flaming red ribbon four incbes wide round her head. It was tied .in front into a huge bow, the' wings of which stood out four inches beyond her forehead. Mrs. Wilmington was surprised, for, although she bad noticed some of the signs of pride of dress in Martha Maria, the girl had more than tbe*ordinary amount of good taste. "Why. Martha." exclaimed Mrs. Wil-j ton Post, mln^ton. as the girl came round the porqjh. "what in the world are yoo wuuflng that bow for?" A slow grin widened the girl's mouth as she said: "To attract attention, missy." "to attract attention? Why do you want to attract attention?' «1 don't, mania."

In three months' time there will be a great deal of what appears to be rubbish around a sign painter's'shop, but the painter knows its value. This rubbish is cleaned up. stowed in bags and sent' to Philadelphia, where it is screened and tbe particles of gold leaf extracted.

It was Whistler's habit to memorize an effect in nature, and Mr. T. R. Way, in his recent "Memories," gives an example of his cleverness at it. I shall never forget a lesson he gave me one evening. We had left the studio when It was quite dusk and were walking along the road by the gardens of the Chelsea hospital, when he pointed to a group of buildings in the distance, an old public house at the corner of the road, with windows and shops showing golden lights through the gathering mists of twilight. "Look!" he said. As he did not seem to have anything to sketch or make notes on, I took out notebook and offered It to him. "No, no; be quiet!" he said; and after a long pause he turned and walked back a few yards; then, with his back to the scene, he said: "Now, see if I have learned it," and then he gave a description of the scene, perfect in every detail of arrangement and color, as he might bave repeated a poem he had learned by heart. Then we went on, and soon there came another picture that appealed to me even more than the former. I tried to call his attention to it, but he would not look at it "No, no," he said; "one thing at a time." . > In a few days I was at the studio again, and there on the easel was the picture—Youth's Companion. Chauvinism. A chauvinist Is one who if absurdly Jealous of his country's honor or puffed up with an exaggerated sense of national glory. The worts "chauvinist'* and ^chauvinism" are taken tram the name of NiooUs Chauvin, a soldier of Napoleon, who. wan so .notorious for his exaggerated and demonstrative devotion to,V «M imperial cause that ha was oarieftuped oft the •tag*, and his name came to stand for afi people who work mischief by- thsM DAINTY BOUDOIR WEAR NEGLIGEES ARE ALMOST BEWITCHINGLY BEAUTIFUL.

'"Good enough to eat," has long qualified as a verbal seal of approval on those things that particularly call forth one's admiration, and in connection with the new negligees the term certainly seems suitable. Just the mere term "negligee" does not seem half expressive enough for the delicious clouds of lace and billows of chiffon that make up new and bewitching room gowns!

A white crepe de chine petticoat slip is the foundation, writes Lillian E. Young in the Washington Star. It may have an embroidered border or be finished with flounce of lace or selfmaterial. The top is plain with the petticoat gathered to it at an empire waist line. A simple kimono-Bleeved bodice makes the top of the coat to which the full skirt is gathered with a wide beading and a high-waisted encircling line of roses. The front edges slope downward and away from the waist, and are cut in large scallops bound with taffeta. The neck of the bodice and the sleeves are edged with white fur. Use azure blue, shell pink, maize yellow, orchid or white chiffon for this model, with little pink roses at the waist and white rabbit or marabou about the neck and sleeves. Keep the under slip white. The cap is a new one. It consists of two ruffles of net or chiffon caught through the center to the head size with a band of ribbon and trimmed at either side with tiny roses.

Turbans continue, if anything*, more popular than ever. Russian effect,, Scotch effects, various notched and cornered styles and very long, severe, boat-shaped models are smart. Large sailors a r e worn for knockabout, and huge, flaring Galnsboroughs are among the dressy models. Fur-cloth is much used in the making of smart turbans, combined with dull, soft tinsel, panne velvet and satin, also frequently combined with felt. Tinsel ornaments and tinsel braids a r e used to bind brims and edge novel fancies. Bandings of various widths, edgings, cockades, bows, huge loops, tassels and rabbits' e a r s of fur are all used a s trimmings. Frequently a single flower Is used in combination with fur. Metal roses are favored for this purpose. Some of the newest'flowers have fur petals or fur centers. All sorts of tall trim fancies of peacock, ostrich, coque and burnt novelties a r e used for trimming small turbans. Beaded and spangled birds and ornaments continue to b e popular. \ KEEP SMALL ARTICLES*t1ANDY With This In Sewing Room, the Cotton and Thimble Need Never Be Mlsplsced. Our sketch shows a handy little article that will prove very oseful and that can be made in a few moments. The base is composed of a small square piece of wood, and the sketch clearly indicates the shape and size of it in proportion to the reel of cotton. This piece of wood is smoothly covered with thin silk, the material being turned over at the edges and fastened on underneath with a strong adhesive. Diagram A illustrates the shape In which the silk should be cut out and the space B enclosed In the dotted lines should correspond/In size with the surface of the wood; The reel of cotton is fastened in its place in the center, with a long thin brass-headed nail, and on this nail the reel will revolve freely while the cotton is being drawn off. Diagram D illustrates the holder in this stage. and upon the top of the nail a thimble can be placed in the manner shown in the larger sketch and a needle may be run through the silk covering the surface of the wood.

The Judge, who had withdrawn Into the shadow, considered for a moment, then said: "I cannot describe her,features, for she was heavily veiled; neither can I describe her figure except to say that •she is tall and slender. But her dress I remember. She wore purple; not an -old woman's purple, hut a soft shade which did not take from her youth. The child did not seem to belong to her, though she held her tightly by the hand. In age it appeared .to be about six—or that was the impression I received before—" The sergeant, who had been watching the speaker very closely, leaned forward with a hasty, Inquiring glance expressive of something like consternation. Was the judge falling again into unconsciousness? No; for the eyes which had gone blank had turned hte way again, and ^nly a disconnected expression which fell from the judge's lips showed that his mind had been wandering. "It's not the same but another one; that's all." . Inconsequent words, but the sergeant meant to remember them, for with their utterance a change passed over the judge, and his manner, which had been constrained and hurried during liis attempted description, became at once more natural and therefore more courteous. "Do you think you can find her with •euch Insufficient data? A woman dressed in purple, leading a little child?" "Judge, I not only feel sure that I •can find her, but I think she is found already. Do you remember the/old tavern on the Rushville road? I believe they call it an inn now, -some such fancy name." The Judge,sat quiet, but the sergeant, who dared not peer too closely, noticed a sudden constriction in the fingers of the hand with which his host fingered a paper cutter lying on the table between them. "The one where—" "I respect your hesitation, judge. Tes, the one run by the man you sentenced—" A gesture had stopped him. He waited respectfully for, the judge's next words. They came quickly and with stern and solemn emphasis. "For a hideous and wholly unprovoked crime. Why do you mention it and—and his tavern?" "Because of something I have lately heard in its connection. Ton know that the old house has been all made over since that time and run as a place of resort for automobilists in search of light refreshments. The proprie* •p tor's name is Yardley.

Then Judge Ostrander rose and in a peremptory tone saMt "Tomorrow. After you hear from me again. - Hake no move tonight Let me fetJ'that an your energies are devoted- to securing my privacy." The sergeant^ who had sprang to his feet at the same instant as the judge, east * last look about him, curiosity burning in hit heart and • sort of desperate denim to get an ho oosjid out of his progeny opportunity. l o t he felt ahaohrtely surethat he bo sltewed to enter thia such as to hold In shadow all but the central portion of the room. With a sigh the sergeant dropped his eyes from the walla • he could barely distinguish and, following Judge Ostrander's lead, passed with him under the torn folds of the curtain and through the narrow vestibule whose door was made of iron, into the room where. In a stronger blase of light than they had left, lay the body of the dead negro awaiting the last rites. Would the Judge pass this body, or turn away from it toward a door leading front? The sergeant had come in at the rear, but he greatly desired to go out front, as this would give him so much additional knowledge of the house. Unexpectedly to himself the *!._,„..», „*,•,.», i+ „„* .* •»,- ««t«* time carefully locking the door behind him, also the first gate. But he stopped to listen before lifting his hand to the second one. \ A sound of steady breathing, accompanied by a few impatient movements, came from the other side. A man was posted there within a foot of the gate. Noiselessly the Judge recoiled and made hie way around to the other set of gates. Here all was quiet enough, and, sliding quickly out, he cast a hasty glance up and down the lane, ami, seeing nothing more alarming than the back of a second officer lounging at the corner, pulled the gate quietly to and locked it. He was well down the road toward the ravine before the officer turned. The time haB now come for giving you a clearer idea of this especial neighborhood. Judge Ostrander's house, situated at the Juncture of an unimportant road with the main highway, had in its rear three small houses, two of them let and one still unrented. Farther on, but on the opposite side of the way, stood a very old dwelling, in which there lived and presumably worked a solitary woman, the sole and final survivor of a large family. Beyond was the ravine, cut* ting across the road and terminating it. This ravine merits some description. It was a picturesque addition to the tion of his own wishes. He was led front; and, entering an old-fashioned hall dimly lighted, passed a staircase and two dosed doors, both of which gave him the impression of having been shut upon a past it had pleasured no one to revive in many years. Beyond them was the great front door of colonial style and workmanship, a fine specimen once, but greatly disfigured now by the bolts and bars which had been added to It in satisfaction of the judge's ideas of security. Many years had passed since Judge Ostrander'had played the host; but he had not lost a sense of its obligations. It was for him to shoot the bolts and lift the bars; but he went about it so clumsily and with such evident aversion to the task that the sergeant instinctively sprang to help him. "I shall miss Bela at every turn," remarked the judge, turning with a sad emlle as he finally pulled the door open. This is an unaccustomed effort for me. Excuse my awkwardness/' Something in his attitude, something in the way he lifted his hand to push back a fallen lock from his forehead, impressed Itself upon the sergeant's mind so vividly that he always remembered the judge as he appeared to him at that minute. Certainly there were but few men like him in the country, and none in his own town. Of a commanding personality by reason of his height, his features were of a cast to express his mental attributes and enforce attention, and the incongruity between his dominator1 lng figure and the apprehensions which he displayed in these multiplied and extraordinary arrangements for personal security was forcible enough to arouse any man's Interest The sergeant was so occupied by the mystery of the man and the mystery of the house that they had passed the first gate (which the judge had unlocked without much difficulty) before he realized that there still remained something of Interest for him to see and to talk about later. The two dark openings on either side, raised questions which the most unimaginative mind would feel glad to hear explained. Ere the second gate swung open and he found himself again in the street he had built up more than one theory in explanation pf this freak of parallel fences with the strip of gloom between. He would have felt the suggestion of the spot still more deeply had it been given him to see the anxious and hesitating figure which, Immediately upon his departure entered this dark maze, and with feeling hands and cautious step wound its way from corner to corner-—now stopping abruptly to listen, now shrinking from some imaginary presence---a shadow among shadows—tUl it stood again* between the gates from which it had started. of greatest activity., With the various bridges connecting: the residence portion with the lower business street* we have nothing to do. But there was a nearer one, of which the demands of this story necessitate a clear presentation. This bridge was called Long, and spanned the ravine and its shallow stream of water not a quarter of a mile below the short road or lane we have just seen Judge Ostrander enter. Between it and this lane, a harrow path ran amid the trees and bushes bordering the ravine. This path was seldom used, but when it was it acted as a short cut to a certain part of the town mostly given over to factories. Indeed the road of which this bridge formed a part was called Factory on this account. Starting from the main highway a half-mile or so below Ostrander lane, It ran diagonally back to the bridge, where it received a turn IsHftrl H s s s s s H Ttti CHAPTIR III. Aoreeo the Bridge. It was ten o'clock, not later, when the Judge re-entered his front door, He -was alone—absolutely alone, as he had never been since that night of long ago, when with the Inner fence completed and the gates all locked, ho turned to the groat negro at bis side and quietly said; "Wo are done with the world, Bela.

A high bluff rose at this point, which made the farther side of the ravine much more imposing than the one on the near side, where the slope was gradual. This path, and even the bridge itself, were almost wholly unlighted. They were seldom need at night—seldom used at any time. But It was by this route the judge elected to go into town; not for the pleasure of the walk, aa was very apparent from the extreme depression of his manner, but from some inward necessity which drove him on, against his wishes, possibly against his secret misgivings. He had met no on* in his short walk down the lane, but for all that he paused before entering the path just mentioned, to glance back and see if he were being watched or followed. When satisfied that he was not he looked np from the solitary waste where he stood* to the cheerless heavens and sighed; then forward Into the mass of lmpenetrablelinadow that he mutt yet travergp and shuddered as many another had shuddered ere beginning thia walk. For it was near the ond of this path, m fall sight of the bridge he moat cross, that bis friend, Algernon Btheridge, had been set upon and murdered go many yean before; and the shadow of this ancient erlme else no must do first-do this very f*JBl lingeewd over the spot Isight, if possible.

But with the striking of his foot against the boards of the bridge nature was too much for him, and hiB resolve vanished. Instead of hastening on he stopped, and, having etopped, paused long enough to take in all the features of the scene and any changes which time might have wrought. He even forced his shrinking eyes to turn and gaze upon the exact spot where his beloved Algernon had been found, with his sightless eyes turned to the sky. This latter place, singular in that it lay open to the opposite bank without the mask of bush or tree to hide It, was in Immediate proximity to the end of the bridge he had attempted to cross. It bore the name of Dark Hollow, and hollow and dark it looked in the universal gloom. £ut the power of Its associations was upon him, and before he knew it he waS -retracing his steps as though drawn by a magnetism he could not resist, till he stood within this hollow and possibly on the very foot of ground from the mere memory of which he had recoiled for years. A moment of contemplation—a sigh, such as only escapes the bursting heart in moments of extreme grief or desolation— and he tore his eyes from the ground to raise them slowly but with deep meaning, to something which rose from the brow of the hill in stark and curious outline not explainable in itself, hut clear enough to one who had seen its shape by daylight. Judge Ostrander had thus seen it many times In the past, and knew just where to look for the one remaining chimney and solitary gable of a house struck many years before by lightning and left a grinning shell to mock the eye of all who walked this path or crossed this bridge. Black amid blackness, with just the contrast of its straight lines to the curve of natural objects about It, it commanded the bluff, summoning up memories of an evil race cut short in a moment by an outraged Providence, and Judge Ostrander, marking it found himself muttering aloud ae he dragged himself slowly away: "Why should Time, so destructive elsewhere, leave one stone upon another of this accursed ruin?" When he had reached the middle of the bridge he stopped short to look back at Dark Hollow and utter in a smothered groan, which would not be repressed, a name which by all the rights of the spot should have been Algernon's, but was not. The utterance of this name seemed to startle him, for, with a shuddering look around, he hastily traversed the rest of the bridge and took the turn about the hill to where Factory road branched off toward the town. Here he stopped again and for the first time revealed the true nature of his destination. For whecrhe moved on again It was to take the road along the bluff, and not the one leading directly Into town. This mean a speedy passing by the lightning-struck house. He knew, of course, and evidently shrank from the ordeal, for once up the hill and on the level stretch above, he resolutely for bore to cast a glance at its dilapidated fence and decayed gate posts. Had he not done this—had his eyes followed the long line of the path leading from these toppling posts to the face of the ruin, he would have been witness to a strange sight. For gleaming through the demolished heart of it—between the chimney on the one side and the broken line of the gable on the other—could be seen the halfcircle of the moon suddenly released from the clouds which had hitherto enshrouded It. A weird sight, to be seen only when all conditions favored. It was to be seen here tonight; but the judge's eye was bent another way, and he passed on, unnotlng. The ground was high along this bluff; almost fifty feet above the level of the city upon which he had just turned his back. Of stony formation and much exposed to the elements, it had been considered an undesirable eite by builders, and not a house was to be seen between the broken shell of the one he had Just left, and the long, low, brilliantly illuminated structure ahead, for which he was evidently making. The pant of a dosen motors, the shouting of various farewells and then the sudden rushing forth of a long lino of automobiles proclaimed that the fete of the day was about over and that peaee and order would soon prevail again in Claymore Inn. Without waiting for the final one to pass, the Judge slid around to the rear and peered in at the kitchen door. Three women were at work in this busiest of scenes, and the throe women's heads came simultaneously together. There was reason for their' whispers. His figure, his head, his face were aU unusnal, and at v a t moment highly expressive, and coming as he did out of the darkness, his presefioe had an uncanny effect upon their simple minds. They bifid boon laughing before; tbey dsassd to laugh Whyt (TO m UUfrTlMUBDijr THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT A8KING FOR INCREASED ACREAGE IN GRAIN, TO MEET EUROPEAN DEMAND. There are a number of holders of land in Western Canada, living in the United States, to whom the Canadian Government will shortly make an anj peal to place the unoccupied areas they are holding under cultivation. The lands are highly productive, but in a state of idleness they are not giving any revenue beyond the unearned increment and are not of the benefit to Canada that these lands could easily be made. It is pointed out that the demand for grains for years to come will cause good prices for all that can be produced. Not only will the price of grains be affected, but also will that of cattle, hogs and horses, in fact everything that can be grown on the farms. When placed under proper cultivation, not the kind that is often resorted to, which lessens yield and land values, many farms will pay for themselves In two or three years. Careful and intensive work is required. *a<Ht this is given in the way it is given to the high-priced lands of older settled countries, surprising results will follow. There are those who are paying rent, who should not be doing so. They would do better to purchase lands in Western Canada at the present low price at which they are being offered by land companies or private individuals. These have been held for the high prices that many would have realized, but for the war and the financial stringency. Now is the time to buy; or if It is preferred advantage might be taken of the offer of 160 acres of land free that is made by the Dominion Government. The man who owns his farm has a^ life of independence. Then again there are those who are renting who might wish to continue as renters. They have some means as well as sufficient outfit to begin in a new country where all the advantages are favorable. Many of the owners of unoccupied lands would be willing to lease them on reasonable terms. Then again, attention is drawn to the fact that Western Canada numbers amongst its most successful farmers, artisans, business men, lawyers, doctors and many other professions. Fanning today is a profession. It is no longer accompanied by the drudgery that we were acquainted with a generation ago. The fact that a man is not following a farming life today, does not preclude him from going on a Western Canada farm tomorrow, and making a success of it If he is not in possession of Western Canadaland that he can convert into a farm he should secure some, make It a farm by equipping It and working it himself. The man who has been holding his Western Canada land waiting for the profit he naturally expected has been Justified In doing BO. Its agricultural possibilities are certain and sure. If he has not realized immediately by making a sale, he should not worry. But to let it lie Idle Ig not good business. By getting It placed under cultivation a greater profit will come to him. Have it cultivated by working it himself, or get some good representative to do it. Set about getting a purchaser, a renter or some one to operate on shares. The department of the Dominion Government having charge of the Immigration, through Mr. W. D. Scott, Superintendent at Ottawa, Canada, is directing the attention of non-resident owners of Western Canada lands to the fact that money will be made out of farming these lands. The agents of the Department, located at different points In the States, are rendering assistance to this end.—Advertisement Wasted Tims.

As a fat wrestler walks down the street a crowd gathers around him, hoping that he will turn Into some restaurant If he does they gather in the doorway to watch him eat Tbey would rather hear a Japanese wrestler eat that go to a three* ring.

It's unbelieveable how much noise they make when eating, by smacking their lips, sucking up their tea with the open exhaust and picking their teeth with the cutout on. The champion eaters of them all— the wrestlers—have long hair, but instead of letting it hang down on their shoulders, as one would naturally expect, they do it up in knots until they look like a gigantic kewpie. Whenever you see a man in Japan going around with a large sized walnut on his head, you may know that he follows the an cieut and honorable profession of wrestling. Their wrestling consists of the men standing upright in the ring, making a rush at each other and trying to push each other out Every time two wrestlers come together they give a prodigious grunt When one <*f them finally succeeds in pushing the other 'but the crowd bursts forth into mighty applause, while the victor modestly pats his stomach to show where the praise Is dne.—Homer Croy in Leslie's. BOUNTIES FOR SOLDIERS. Prices England Had to Pay In the Past For Army Reoruits. At one time the system of offering huge money bounties was quite a feature of army recruiting in Great Britain. Prior to the peninsular war, however, the amount of the bounty had been reduced considerably, but tbe wastage in human material caused by that war raised tbe bounty again, and from £13 to £16 was a common price right up to "Waterloo year," when it dropped to 7 guineas. The stress of the Crimean campaign also caused the wnr office authorities to open wide their purses, and so we find that-fa 1855 the price of a cavalryman was £30, while an infantryman received £2 less.

Of al! the twenty first magnitude Stars the inherent glory of Rigel and Canopus is the greatest. Only two are farther than they, while the other sixteen are very much nearer. Estimates give the light of Rigel as, equal to that of 22,000 suns and that of Canopus as 55,000. Assuming that their general surface brilliancy is the Bame as that of the sun and recalling that Rigel has ut least 22,000 and Canopus 55,000 times the light of the sun, the square root of these figures gives us Rigel's diameter as 150 and Canopus' 235 times that of the sun. . Whereas tbe sun's diameter, as seen in the sky, measures one-half a degree, Canopus', at the same distance, would measure 117½ degrees of the 180 that reach from horizon to horizon, and its disk would cover 55.225 times the sky area occupied by the sun.

Pulling Out Posts. ,, JThev trick of lifting oneself by one's •bpptStraps may appear somewhat diflicu4tf| i but n machine has been built j which does that. It is intended to pull ] out piles which have been driven ln so ; firmly by a pile driver that they canu'oi be pulled up by ordinary means. The machine is clamped to the top of the pile, which it grips firmly and automatically. Steam is supplied through a hose. Tbe steam lifts a heavy weight in the machine and lets It drop suddenly. By an arrangement of levers the force of tbe blow. Instead of being downward on tbe top of the .pile, is upward. The main difficulty in pulling up a pile Is to get it started, but 8 quick series of these blows soon stntts the pile. Tbe machine keeps knocking it up until it moves easily, when no more prog ress can be made, and the pile must be lifted out with ropes.—Saturday Evening Post. No Need to Climb. It was a very wet night, and the last omnibus was full inside when the conductor asked, "Will any gentleman ride upon the top to oblige a lady?" There was no response, so the inquiry was repeated But again there was no reply. At last one of the male passengers remarked, "Are you sure she Is a lady and not a poor woman ?" "Oh, yes, she is a lady," said the conductor without hesitation. "A well dressed lady?" again asked the passenger. "Yes. a thorough, well dressed, fashionable lady," said the conductor.

WMEANBP HE seeing of "the Old Year out and New Year in" throughout the world 1B generally accompanied by much merriment and sometimes with much noise. But whereas in some countries the "wild" night has disappeared and has been replaced by celebrations more in keeping with the passing of a year bf put opportunities, and the making of new resolutions for the coming year, on this continent, at least, the night has been given up to revelry strongly condemned by right thinking people. At one time Mew Year's eve in Berlin was a time that might have gladdened the heart of the most exuberant undergraduate, being from dusk to dawn a succession of practical Jokes iad good-natured "ragging." But nowadays the town shows a more sedate temper, and if In a very German way a beer or a wine "journey" (to give the German expression) often reminds in the small hours of what used be- seen at the same time of the in the ancient world, the days to have passed by when it was unsafe for a cabman to show himself la the city before dawn, for fear of having some joker ride away on his unharnessed "Polly." In those times the silk hat was more worn than today, and still more often was crushed in or thrown across the street by some of the more rampageous. It is said that one could then buy a cheap edition of the silk hat that had a gloss that would last through the evening, and at a price that made its disappearance quite sufferable. Today such practical jokes have dropped into the background! Berlin' and the rest of the empire indulge in a celebration of the New Year that has something of the French reve 11- lon, something of the Scottish festivity, and also some reminders of April Fools' day and Gunpowder Plot day in England, and the Chinese New Tear's "Feast of Lanterns." New Year's day in Germany is the day for sending the jokes and wouldbe jokes that are generally held over until April 1 in France and England —cigars that might seem to be burning, references to such rarities as the peacock's eggs, and all the "sells" that can be thought of. Then, as the English of the North may eat toffee and "parkin" on the eve of the 5th of November, the Germans have a special fare of pancakes and Jam, with punch. The rattle reminds one of the Orient It is the article of the day, or rather of the night. Even the biggest stores fa the capital head their weekly catalogue with a list of the styles of ratties that they have to sell, and no self-respecting Berliner is without one when he sallies forth late in evening to make a round of the town before saluting the emperor with the guard in front of the palace in the Lustgarten at nine o'clock. The occasion also offers another example of the extraordinary powers of endurance In the matter of entertainment that the Berliner possesses; Although business begins at eight, and in some offices even as early as halfpast seven, there are as many in the cafes between two and three in the , morning as one would see, for example, between one and two in Paris— a much more leisured city. And on New Year's eve the company does not go home to bed with the* milk, as in the French capital, but sees it out until it is a question of whether luncheon shall come before or after the sleep. ; Supper in the better-known restaurants in the center of Berlin and in Charlottenburg's fine avenue of Kurfontendamm is much on the lines of the Paris revelllon. There is no mention of the traditional "Boudin avec parse de pommes," but in return the pancakes and sirup get their place, and there i* always some punch in the making. ' 'New Tear's eve is marked at the . Court of Vienna by a ceremony somewhat reminiscent of "Hamlet" without the chief character. The diplo- * matte body is invited to the Hofburg to wish the emperor the compliments of the season, but his Imperial saajeety never attends to receive them Since the days of Maria Thar* «s* ft has been the custom for the grand master of the court to deputise for his sovereign on this occasion, no member of the imperial family TBXXAO!

' • • ' ' ' the picturesque procession of the boar's head at Christmas, a quaint but less known custom for New Year's day has been retained. After dinner on this anniversary the bursar presents to each guest a needle threaded with silk of a color suitable to , his faculty, and prays for his prosperity in the words, "Take this and be thrifty." This word "thrifty" has no connection with the philosophy of the late Samuel Smiles, but is, according to Doctor Magrath, the retired provost, the old English for prosperous. To "grow thrifty" in the sense of to thrive was used in America within living memory. The ceremony is a practical Norman-French pun (aiguille et fll) upon the name Qf Eglesfleld, the chaplain to Queen Philippe, who was the real founder of the college. A picturesque ceremony marks New Year's eve at the court of Dresden. A reception is held in the evening— generally one of the most thronged of the year—during which the king instead of receiving the guests in his ordinary manner, plays cards with his suite. Those invited file past a group of c*#d-tables, all the players at which are intent upon the game, except the king, whose aide-de-camp stands behind his chair and whispers the card for him to throw, so his majesty can devote his attention to acknowledging the greetings of his courtiers. The king plays a card, then bows as a curtsying lady-catches his eyes, then another card, another bow, and- so on, until the long procession has passed. The little Scotch fishing village of Burghead, on the Moray Firth, keeps up a strange survival of pagan ritual, the burning of the "Clavle." This is a sort of rude spoked wheel or tub made from half a herring-cask and half a tar-barrel, knocked together without the use of a hammer, for which a smooth stone is substituted. The blacksmith supplies a long nail. This contrivance is borne flaming on the shoulders of a succession of bearers to the town boundaries, and then to the "Doorie," a sort of stone altar, on a small hilt The "Clavie" is then smashed and the crowd scrambles for the pieces. The custom defies explanation and is immemorial The great Scottish festival of Hogmanay is celebrated in "the wee, sma' 'oors ayont the 'twaT with unusual sest among the Caledonians. In every corner of our tar-flung empire, wherever the Scot has car* rted his accent and his Robert Burns, the festival of the Celtic race will find its earnest, if decadent, expression in good wishes and good resolutions for the new-born year. If you have taken part In the festival in Scotland itself you will be able to conjure up what the Saturnalia was In the classic days. The modern Italian carnival bears little resemblance to that great festival la which the worker In the field expressed his whole-hearted delight that one year of toll had ended, and that a new, and perhaps a better, year bad dawned. Hogmanay is the Saturnalia of Scotland, and If the BaochsnsHsn ele- X / L The Zulu Trick. The English soldiers who had served in South Africa quickly taught the allies in France how to eleep comfortably on the ground. To sleep on the ground la the ordinary way, without the aid of tills South African trick, which the Baalish learned from the Zulus, is so palatal as to be almost Impossible, Sleep, »•/ stead of resting, fatigues. « The Zulu trick Is to dig a little hols to hoH the hip bone.

So then, every Scot, wherever and whatever his let—Scots Wha Hae and Scots Wha Hinna—will raise the glass to the New Year, and his heart will turn to the Mecca of his hopes, the home of his poet and prophet, Robert Burns. Writing to an English friend from Scotland in 1802, Henry Bickersteth says: On December 31 almost everybody has a party, either to dine or sup, the company almost entirely consisting of young people. They wait together till midnight strikes, at which time every one begins to move, and they all fall to work—at what? Why, kissing! Each male is successively locked in a pure Platonic embrace with each female. This matter is not at all confined to those, but wherever man meets woman it is the privilege of this hour. New Year's gifts have taken many different forms at different periods from the eggs exchanged by the Persians and the sacred branches of mistletoe of the Druids down to the fat capon which the tenants in many English counties were expected to present to their landlords. In the sixteenth century, gloves were often given on New Year's day, and there is record of a certain Mrs. Croaker, In whose favor Sir Thomas More had decided a case, sending the chancellor a pair of gloves with 40 gold angels therein. "Mistress," wrote More, returning the money. "Since Ut were against manners to refuse a New Year's gift, I am content to take your gloves, but/ as for the lining, I utterly refuse it" What precisely is "Hogmanay?" Etymologically, It has been .derived from the French "au-gui-menez," "come on to the mistletoe." The Norman French "a-guM'an-neuf," also an association of the New Year and mistletoe, seems likelier.

It Is like a tea, excepting that coffee instead of tea is the chosen beverage, and instead of sandwiches and cakes of the usual sort atf the food seems to have come straight from a German coffee shop. This rather unusual form of entertainment is given in the morning. Cards are sent out with the words "Coffee," and "Prom 11 to 1" written on them. Or, if the "Coffee" is to be very small, the invitations may be given by telephone. For one of the charms of the "Coffee" is that it is Informal. In the dining-room the table Is spread with a lace or embroidered luncheon cloth—-something rather elaborate can be used—and in the center, Instead of flowers, is a big silver tray heaped with fruits made of marslpan. Half a dozen German cakes are placed on the table. There are small German almond cakes on a plate covered with a lace dolly. There Is a cake board on which is a big coffee ring, with a widebladed silver knife beside it There is a cheese cake cut into narrow, wedgeshaped pieces. And there are other German sweets of the sort that can be bought at a first-class German delicatessen or bakery or made at home according to recipes in a German cookery book. At each end of the table is an urn or a percolating coffee pot over an alcohol flame, for coffee is the only beverage served. It Is served in large cups, breakfast size, and with It are passed cream and sugar. German Doughnuts.—Here is a recipe for one German delicacy that may be served with the coffee. Scald a pint of milk, and while it is scalding hot pour over it a pint of flour. Beat until smooth and then add half a teaspoonful of salt, and cool. Add the beaten yolks of four eggs, a tablespoonful of melted butter, a half cupful of Bugar, a cupful of flour, two teasponfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of almond or other flavoring and the beaten whites of four eggs. Add more flour if necessary to make a soft dough. Roll out and cut and fry gold brown. Drain on thick paper and roll in sugar. German Apple Cake.—For German apple cake, sift a pint of flour with one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder ana half a teaspoonful of salt. Add two tablespoonful8 of butter, rubbing It In thoroughly, and then add a beaten egg and milk enough to make a thick batter. Spread the batter in a buttered tin to the thickness of an inch. Over the top spread quarters or eighths of peeled and cored apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Bake in a hot oven. Ginger 8naps> Ginger snaps made from self-raising flour are very little trouble to prepare, and the cost Is small. Heat a cupful of molaBses, and when it reaches the boiling point pour over one-third of a cupful of shortening. Add sf tablespoonful of ginger sifted with three heaping cupfuls of flour. Put away to get thoroughly cold, then roll out very thin and bake in a quick oven. Pepper Relish. Twelve green peppers, 12 red peppers, 12 onions. Remove the seeds from peppers. Chop, cover with boiling water for five minutes and drain. Heat three pints vinegar, two cupfuls sugar, two tablespoonfuls salt and pour over above, Cook slowly one hour, then bottle. When Warming Over Meat The best way to warm up a roast of meat is to wrap it in thickly greased paper, and keep it covered while in the oven. By having It covered the steam will prevent the-meat from becoming hard and dry. and it will become heated through is> less time. To Keep Silver Bright. Place in a cardboard box a layer of ordinary flour, then lay the forks and spoons upon it, and cover thickly with flour. They will remain quite bright for any length of time. Celery Stuffing.

Get a 10-cent box. Sick headache, biliousness, dizziness, coated tongue, foul taste and foul breath—always trace them to torpid liver; delayed, fermenting food in the bowels or sour, gassy stomach. Poisonous matter clogged in the In* testines, instead of being cast out of the system Is re-absorbed into the blood. When this poison reaches the delicate brain tissue it causes congestion and that dull, throbbing, sickening headache. Cascarets immediately cleanse the stomach, remove the sour, undigested food and foul gases, take the excess bile from the liver and carry out all the constipated waste matter and poisons in the bowels. A Cascaret to-night will surely straighten yon out by morning. They work while you sleep—a 10-cent box from your druggist means your head clear, stomach sweet end your liver and bowels regular for months. Adv.

Summer had come, and the sea captain's wife was accompanying her husband across the ocean. And It chanced also that the owner's sister was making the trip.

Wherefore, she warned him that, when at meals, if she thought he was approaching dangerous ground, she would give him a polite reminder by kicking him on the shins.

ASTHMA MEDICINE sVt» 6sV] ^London—Assisted by light cruisers, destroyers and submarines,» seven British naval airmen, piloting seaplanes, made a daring attack Christmas day on the German naval base at Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe. Six of the airmen returned safely, but the seventh, Commander Hewlett, it is feared, has been lost, as his machine was found off Helgoland" wrecked. What damage was done by the bombs thrown by the attacking party could not be ascertained, but the German report of the affairs says that the fltfuVwas fruitless. v^The enterprise- of the British navy inTthp attempting to "dig out" the German fleet, brought about a battle between the most modern of war machines. The British squadron, including the light cruisers Arethusa and Undaunted, which have been engaged in previous exploits on the German coast, was attacked by Zeppelins, seaplanes and submarines. Zeppelins Put To Flight. By rapid maneuvering, the ships were able to avoid the submarines, while the Zeppelins found the fire of the cruisers too dangerous for them to keep up the fight. The German seaplanes dropped bombs, which, according to the British account, fell harmlessly into the sea. The Germans, however, claim to have hit two destroyers and their convoy, the latter being set afire. The British ships -remained in the vicinity for three hours without being attacked by any surface warships, and picked up three of the seven pilots and their planes. Three others were picked up by - submarines, but their machines were sunk. Commander Hewlett, it is thought, was drowned, > Delivered In Daylight. The official press bureau gave out the following statement Sunday regarding the British raid on the German coast: "On Friday, December 25, the German warships lying off Schilling roads, off Cuxhaven, were attacked by seven naval seaplanes piloted by Flight Commanders Oliver, Hewlett, Boss and Kilner, Flight Lieuts. Miley and Edwards, and sub-Lieut. Blackburn. 'The attack was delivered in daylight, starting from a point in the vicinity of Helgoland. The seaplanes wer* escorted by a light cruiser and destroyer force, together with submarines. As these ships were seen by the Germans from Helgoland, two Zeppelins and three or four hostile seaplanes and several hostile submarines attacked them, "It was necessary for the British Bhips to remain in the neighborhood to pick up the returning airmen, and a novel combat ensued between the most modern cruisers and the enemy's air craft and submarines. By swift maneuvering, the enemy's submarines were avoided and the two Zeppelins were easily put to flight by the guns of the Undaunted and Arethusa* "The enemy's seaplanes succeeded in dropping their bombs near our ships, but without hitting any of them. The British ships remained for three hours off the enemy's coast without being molested by any surface vessel and safely, re-embarked three out of the seven airmen with their machines."

"' %."&' m SMASH! HIT THE NAIL ON THE / Pigheaded? It is an inleiosting fact that the two studies of arithmetic and geography seem to be diametrically opposed to each other in the affections of school children. Pupils who are particularly proficient in one are apt to be backward in the other. A story is told of a little boy who was slow in arithme tic and whose apparent stupidity in this field w a s a great source of grief to his father, who had been a mathematician. One day when the father and son were walking out they passed a place where a "learned pig" was on exhibition, and the father took the boy to see this porcine prodigy. "Just look at that," said the father. "Why. there's a pig that can count and add up numbers! Don't you wish you were as smart as he?" _ "Ha." answered tbeOioy. "just let me a.sk him a few questions in geo^ra pby!" Two Rules of Life. Here is a man whose guiding principle is bate, n e is forever trying to punish somebody for some real or fancied grievance. He will spend uiou"\ and thought and rime to. bring oonfusIon upon some one whom lie cboo.ses to regard a s an enemy, money and thought and time which he might em ploy in advancing bis o w n fortunes or in nobler effort. When he succeeds, in bis end be seems to take a brief satis faction i n his work, b n t he does not impress us a s a happy man. H e soon forgets all about the punished enemy and casts about for a n e w one to punish. When he fails in his end and his enemy escapes or punishes him he in very much cast down. One advantage of taking the diametrically opposite passion to the one this man has selected as your guiding principle of life is that even when you lose ynu win.—Columbus Journal. Great Generals* but Bad Shots. Curiously enough* although good snooting on the part of the rank and file is all important for success In warfare, t w o of the greatest generals In history were notably bad shots. T h e only time Napoleon went o a t game shooting he killed one of the dogs, and Wellington's record on a similar occasion proved even worse. Lady Shelley records in her diary o n S e p t 8, 1819, when t h e duke w a s staying at her place i n Sussex, that she accompanied the guns in the afternoon.

I Sitting Cross Legged. The next.time you ride in a street ear notice the number of people who sit cross legged. It has been estimated that four-fifths of them do. Probably you do. A prominent London physician haj» investigated the habit and his advice is "don't sit cross legged." He states that the prime objection to the habit is that the return flow of blood Is stopped at the knee, the result be- /ing that the veins in the leg swell up As all of the weight Js thrown to One side of the body, the under leg is likely to go to sleep. The body should, be equally balanced. Much crossing of the legs Is also dangerous in that it is likely to cause lopsldedness. The limbs should be allowed to rest easily, so that the flow of blood Is natural and the body equally balanced.—American Boy. Struggle te Hide 4h# Troth.

"Coming over on an ocean liner from England a few years ago," said a New Yorker, "an argument had arisen among us ns to which was the more simple of the two currency systems, dollars and cents, or pounds, shillings and pence. At last* the captain arriving, we decided to refer the matter to him and surrender our judgment to his arbitration. The captain, an Englishman of the very stolid sort, after a period of reflection replied very slowly and with all the gravity of a judge: "Pounds, shillings and pence is the simpler system, for don't you know that when you arc told the price of a thing in dollars and cents you always have to convert it into pounds, shillings and pence." There was a little objection to this theory, bat in general it was perfectly satisfactory so long as the voyage lasted. Submarine Cables.

The cable was landed 0¼ thff American side on Aug. 5,1858, but was not ready for use till Aug. 1C.

Even where tor convenience and economy it is deairable to hate the dairy under the same roof aa the lee .haws* It is not satisfactory to attempt to combine the lee storage with a cold etatj. When It Is necessary to use lea for ehming milk and other dairy products It Is better to remove the lee from the lee bouse or compartment and place it in a specially constructed ice bos or refrigerator, rather than to attempt to maintain a cold room by storing the ice about and In contact with It The chief argument against the eomblned arrangement Is that It prevent* the storage of Ice In a solid mass.

The arrangement suggested to figures 1 and S la to be preferred. _ Where an abundant supply of natural lee can be harvested annually It will be a simple matter to maintain high-class refrigeration by Installing a brine-circulating system. The principle on which this patented system works Is the same as mechanical refrigeration, except that the cold Is secured through a freealng mixture of lee and salt In a tank to which the primary coils are located, as shown at B to figure 3. As the brine to these colls becomes, chilled It passes out through the bottom of the colls aadslowly flows through the coils marked C, which, are located to the cooling room. The heat of this room Is absorbed by these chilled pipes, and as the brine wanna up it passes out and up Into the primary'coils, and in this way a continuous circulation la maintained between the two pipe systems. For convenience, the toe house can be made a part of the structure, so that the ice can be elevated above the storage chamber and directly Into the crusher, which can be located to the attic above the primary coils Indicated it B. As the drawing shows, the space above the cooling room might be utilised aa a farm shop or for a cooperage, ir one were to be installed in connection with an apple orchard. It would not be advisable to attempt to Install this system without having an experienced engineer calculate the piping necessary, tor any gives atorage room as well as the cooling tank. The question of installation la also a very important one, and should be carefully specified. This construction is adapted to small or to very extensive plants. The department of agriculture used this system in a plant which has bees to* stalled at the Arlington experimental farm. The cooling room to this case Is 88 by SO feet with eight-foot ceil* toga.

The appraisal figves are that the cost of reproduction of the Pere Marquette system, with everything new, would be mwm, nnd the cost of reproduction less depreciation of the system as it is toiey. If^iefiSdl. This Is the fourth appraisal Prof. Cooley has made of the Pere Mar* quetto In 14 yeatsv The first appraisal was In WOO, the second In 100? and the third in 1006. The present appraisal gives a value of the system of upwards 640,000,000 more than the appraisal of 1905, although the mile* age is but little more than it was In 1005. Prof. Cooley says that he has bean well aware that the. first question thst would be asked vhen the present appraisal was given to the public Is why this great increase with the mileage substantially the same. He tells that the present appraisal Is tar mors thorough than Were any of the other three. The 1600 appraisal which covered aU the railroads of Michigan, then about 11,000 miles, he had to make in about four months because Gov. Plngree wak^sd it quiok for use in forcing bis railroad tax bills through^ the legislature. Not much nrore time Was taken for the U$$ and 1W5 appraisals. The present appraisal has occupied, for nearly seven months, a fores larger than was used to sppraise 11,000 miles in '1000. In the 1000 appraisal the work covered S7 point* or Bubject matters, while this time the number was 77. Washington—GeJuiral~VU!ay as eomnunder- ia<hief of the forces of tho Gutierres gov«rsment baa ordered General Juan Csbrat with 6,000 men, to take charge of the general stt«ation in Sosors, superseding General Maytorena at Naeo. This order Is said to have been decided upon by the -Gutierres government as the best way to prevent eontinusneo of hostUities at Naco and Agua PrieU, where there are compars/ trvely small <3arransa forces. Grigadie^^eneral Hugh Scott, chief of stall of the United States army, who went to Nacb, In an effort to obtain the neutralisation of that place and prevent bullets from falling Into American territory, has advised the war department that the Cabral troops are now at Casus Grandes. Maytorena has delayed signing any agreement for the removal of his forces pending the arrival of Cabral. The combined Cabral and Maytorena forces will total about 12,000 men, while General Hilt the Carransa adherent has Only about 4,000 men. Officials here beyond saying that this situation would presently adjust Itself, declined to comment on it" It generally believed, however, that General Cabral would sign an agreement by which Naco would , be declared neutral and the Hill forces would be permitted to go to Agua Priets. General Cabral, It Is thought In some quarters, then would endeavor to drive the Hill garrison out of Agua Priets, across the American Hue, where they would probably be Interned. 9 » 1 3 « ^ ^ C s t | ^ _ . . market steady; heat heavy steers, U CIS^;. beet bandy wsIgM bsteW steers, t7#7J0; mixed stoers s*d heitcrs, Jf^CTiet ^ hajidy tigbt Dutchert, f«^4^7; l l s ^ butchers, |6^6#SJi;; best cows, ITOt)*; oo»- ifcon. oow% 64454J4.76; butcher oowa, 6S4W30; canners, $t#4; best heavy bulls, HfHJ»i bolofma bulls, |W04> S; stock bulls. f4JW£*. .

And an interesting fact about •It is the^ relationship it bears to life itself. For consider: one sign 1 fi c a 11 o n of " " w i n d " i s "breath," a n d t "spirit** is def rlved from the Latin "spiritus. jbreath; while-the Greek word for spirit broach) mean a both "wind" and "spirit," and is frequently translated . "'the spirit of the Lord." Our English "wind" comes from the root wa, to Wow, and was originally the present participle of the verb with the sense of "blowing." Etymologlcally, therefore, there is an interesting connection between the breath of the living creature, the spirit of the Lord, and the familiar phenomenon of wind, a relationship. most l&vggestive when reading "The Lord God breathed Into his nostrils the breath of life," "a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind" at Pentecost, "the wind of the Lord," and the remarkable passage In Eaek. 37:9: "Come from the fen? winder-© 1>rea^b. ..and breathe upon these slain, that they may live." What is this mighty force? "Merely air in movement," replies the-physiclst; and he starts explaining the , difference between still, dead air and air in motion, and dwells on the fact of the movement being undiscerned by the eye, though its effects are visible through the pressure it exerts upon every object that lies in its path. We compare the ordinary pressure of the air per square Inch of surface at the sea level (14.73 lb.) with the tremendous pressure of the wind blowing a hurricane at 92 miles an hour, the kindly pressure it exerts upon our bodies to prevent them from dropping . . off the earth, and the pressure it exerts inside a soap bubble as well as outside it, thus making possible one of the daintiest nature toys imaginable. Add a little pressure to the air outside, blow upon the bubble, and the magician wind makes It vanish before our eye* M^P2*2JDf2ff$33r223ttKBBk23Ot0^jr £ORG&*r<&&t+ and knees along that passage. i o w is air set In motion? Briefly, **f a *» teese hygienic times people the normal pressure of air is «sturbed5fe2*^to be tound who Insist on tightly directly one part is heated more than - * - • - * - - 4 •another, for heat causes air to expand .and rise. In doing so it leaves a space (Into which the cooler surrounding air presses. This, then, is 4 e key to wind: difference of pressure in adclosing windows, door and ventliater in the grate at night, preferring warm but vitiated air to the energising current which, if it had the chance, would renovate body and mind. It Is worth „ w _„ while visiting certain wards of hospi- Joining parts of a stratum of air, the tale to see what a part wind plays in further wonders of scientific discovery. MeanwhUe we can produce conditions which create wind on a small scale. Ail we have to do Is to light a fire in a room, and the heated air above the grate, being lighter than the air in the room, ascends'the chimney, while the cool outer air from the landing or outside the window flows towards the fireplace and a draught of wind on a small scale Is created. This law of the ascension of warm air and its replacement by cool air is the secret of effectual ventilation. It is a matter of keeping up artificially a constant circuit of air, and, dependent On the aspect of the house and its position with regard to the prevailing winds, of utilizing these conditions to advantage. One sometimes finds singular ignorance of the law of circulation. A friend will visit a patient lying ill with an Infectious disease, and take a seat anywhere but where he should do so, i. e. in a'line .between the window and the fireplace, or the open door and the' fireplace. Another person tries to escape down a passage filled with smoke when the house ia on fire, but fails to^avall himself of the freshest current of air near the floor. He should creep on hands result of, inequality of temperature. But In determining wind movements certain conditions have to be considered* For Instance, there is proximity to land or sea, for the air over land {beats more rapidly than that over water. The presence of water vapor in* [finances the creation of wind, since jibe warm air, which alone can hold jwater vapor, has a pressure much lighter than that of dry, cold air.

Their *alson d'etre is stotiar to that of the trades. The presence of land, owing to its greater heating power, interferes with the formation and direction of the winds, notably in the ease of the monsoons of South Asia; where seasonal variations follow the apparent path of the sun, alternately over land and over water. Land and sea breexes alternate by day and night along a coast because of the unequal heat acquired by the air over water and over aea. The direction of local winds Is much affected by the disposition and height of the land, though over huge expanses of water they have a clear path. It would take too long to consider here the operation and locale of particular winds; but something should be said of the wonderful system of their working. Here is a beneficent transference of warm air from the heated tropical regions, where its. continued presence would make life unendurable, to the temperate regions, where Its mildness is wanted to "temper** the cold. To the temperate regions, where are the big habitable areas of land, come the-* winds most suitable for mankind, enabling him to work in comfort; while to the tropica^ regions blow the cooling- trade winds, aiding navigation westward during the ages before the advent of steam and electric power. , The system of the winds is interwoven with the^history^of mankind— his migrations,'his commerce, his industries, his physical and mental activities. Britons owe more of their adaptability and endurance than they imagine to the alternation, the clock-, wise changes of the wind, front the soft southern breesesv the moisture* laden west winds, to the bracinj northeastern and east winds which have acquired icy coldness In passing over the plains and steppes of northeast and east Europe.

Adv,^ No Fortune Telling In Germany. Fortune tellers now are forbidden to practice in any part of the German empire. Soon after the war broke out, they began to do an enormous business with relatives of soldiers in the field, who wanted to know how things were going with them. Visits to the-fortune tellers often had tragic consequences, as many of the callers were in a high state of nervous tension. The uncertainty of relatives regarding their men folk at the front has been aggravated by an alleged muddle of the field-postal organisation, which Is being severely criticized by the newspapers.

For instance, white oak ia well suited and much used for barrel staves, where barrels are to contain liquid, while, on the ether hand, red oak, which ia apparently of the aame structure, ia not at all suited lor the purpose. A close examination of the white oak reveam the presence of the tyloae which ecele all the little pores of the woodV Bed oak haa none ot the tylose. For thia reason a fence post of white oak will last much longer in service than one of red. Timber engineera who inject creosote and other substances into, wood to retard decay long afb made lists of species that were hard to treat, and others which werV«eeyr, The preservative fluids, we are told* penetrate certain woods to a considerable depths when moderate preeaure la aps&ed; while others are almost impervious, no matter how great the preeaure.

Get the Most Out of Your Flour- How to live substantially and save money on a small income is a problem concerning thousands of Detroit housewives. Flour i.s the mn.st nutritions food at the least cost p«-r pound you can buy. Comparing food v.-bies aud their cost, it will pay you to u.e more fh::r—and when you buy, the real saving will be in getting the most baking possible out of your l'our. Columbus High Grade Flour! Into Cohmihus Flour we put the very best grade of wheat that can be purchased. Out of this flour you get the greatest variety of wholesome food that can be produced from any one kind of foodstuff. •There was a.time when the good housewife had to have a special flour for bread and one for pastry. This is no longer the case. Scientific milling in the -. . ... David Stott Flour Mills has 3 ¾ ¾ ¾ ¾ h l ™ S h t together the two es- * sentiuls for good bread and good pastry. The great advantages of Columbus Flour then are, a H i g h Grade Flour, milled £feir ttm with the utmost care in a spotlessly clean mill — t h a t means purity. Xext, *a the fact that you can do all of your baking —bread, pies, cakes, cookies, biscuits, rolls, etc., from one sack of flour—no need of two different packages in your kitchen. In addition to these two great features there is the greater food value at less cost than meats. If you wijfr just put Columbus Flour to the baking test in every way possible, you'll discover a flour that is of more value to you than any other flour you've ever used. Suppose you call up your grocer and a*lc him the price of Columbus Flour and then tell him to^send up a sack. 24V* i rf«ti*j FLOUR / ro Unbleached O! Coin's? BP^t^2.

Property destroyed by fire in Michigan in ldl4 amounted to- over $2,000,000 less than in 1913, the loss being $7,446, 158.57 in 1913 and $5,370,592.00 in 1!»14. 9,660 fires occurred in 1913, and but 7,995 in 1914, a reduction of 1,665. Mr. Winship's report shows that more work was accomplished in 1914 than in any one year since the organization of the bureau, and considerable credit for the showing is given to Assistant Fire Marshal Robinson and his force, the Michigan Fire Prevention association and the local fire chiefs, and to the press of the state for valuable co-operation and support. Mr. Winship again recommends suitable remuneration of fire Chiefs of the state for work done under the direction of the bureau, especially those chiefs connected with volunteer departments. According to the report the "safety first" campaign conducted by the bureau has met with a prompt response, from city officials, fire chiefs and the general public, and as a result fire escapes, necessary exits, and other safeguards have been provided in buildings open to the public. A biweekly bulletin service was inaugurated during the year, the articles of interest to the public bearing upon fire waste, fire prevention, and certain phases of insurance in general, have been circulated. Special bulletins of timely interest were issued, calling attention to unsafe and dangerous publio building conditions, Fourth of July dangers, cold weather hints as regards conditions of stoves, furnaces, etc. Attention Is called in the report to the fact that statistics show that about 64 percent of all fires occur in the home, dwellings usually being built of wood and with shingle roofs, and to the many deaths and serious accidents occurring from the careless use of gasoline, kerosene and other explosives, in the majority of which cases women and children are the victims. Public school authorities have been appealed to by Mr. Winship to set aside brief periods for discussion of the subject of fire prevention by the pupils, and he is of the opinion that what the child Is taught in the school, for the safety of the home, he is very apt to carry into his business relations and activities. Fire Marshal Winship in the report Btates that the most discouraging feature in connection with the work of the bureau is the ill success of the efforts to prosecute the "firebug." During the year sixty fires mere investigated, and of nine cases which reached the circuit court, only four convictions resulted. At least four lives were lost in 1914 in Michigan because of incendiary fires. The property loss from such fires during the year was $146,691.00 less than in 1918. That the Michigan moving picture law is absolutely just what the legislature intended it should be, is very clearly demonstrated by several fires in these theatses the past year, says Mr. Winship. The records show that a number of such fires occurring in booth constructed in accordance with the law, have caused no panics and but very little property damage, while two very costly and disastrous fires occurred hi theatres operating in violation of the law aad without the knowledge of the bureau inspectors. There are 54$ licensed moving picture theatres in Michigan, an increase of 10$. over 1912. During 1914 70 theatres were "ordered to discontinue the use *6f picture*, and many were permanently dosed because of failure J», comply with the law.

Th* figures are not yet complete, but Mr. Wright estimates that his average attendance will be increased by about 200 within the next two yean. The school now has 320 students enrolled. When Mr. Wright took office a year ago it had about 170. From figures now on file it is said that the increase in attendance will far exceed the average yearly growth. Fifty-Seven Ships In Parade.

There will be 21 battleships headed by the dreadnaught Wyoming* Admiral Fletcher's flagship, 23 torpedo-boat destroyers aad IS fl^FM<y1ss. l***liH>1>g' colliers and auppiy Washington—Great Brltain'a preliminary reply to the note from the United States government, requesting an improvement in the treatment of American commerce by the British fleet, was made public here and in London Sunday by mutual agreement between the state department and the British foreign office. The British communication concurs in the view of the United States that commerce between neutral nations should be interfered with only when imperatively necessary, and officials of the Washington government construed it as conceding that the principles expressed by the American note were just and upheld by the previously accepted usage of International law. The only formal continent made Sunday night was contained in a brief statement issued by Secretary Bryan, who said: "This answer being preliminary, and not being intended as a complete reply, we will postpone comment until the full answer is received."« Briefly, the British note, while conceding the principles of the American government's contentions, points out difficulties In actual practice, refers to alleged fraudulent practices by shippers and cites statistics showing an increase, rather than a decrease in certain neutral commerce, in support of Great Britain's suspicions that Germany and Austria have been indirectly obtaining contraband through neutral countries. The note promises, however, that Great Britain will "make redress" whenever the action of the British fleet "may unlntentially exceed" the limits of international law. While they are generally reserved in their comment, it may be stated authoritatively that high officials of the United States government regard the tone of the note as entirely friendly and believe, moreover, that the discussion which will follow it will be carried on in the same vein, with a desire on the part of both countries to reach a satisfactory understanding. The admission by Great Britain of one of the chief points in the American note—that the relations between neutrals were those of normal times, of peace and not of war—was gratifying to officials, who believed that the controversy would now resolve itself into a frank discussion of what were the actual necessities of the case which impel Interference by a belligerent when suspecting that the ultimate destination of a neutral cargo is belligerent territory. The statistics brought forth to show that commerce between the United States and neutral countries contiguous to Germany and Austria had increased materially since the outbreak of the war were regarded here as misleading. It was pointed out that in view of the breaking down of the normal routes of commerce with Germany and Austria, many non-contraband/ products had been shipped through neutral countries. Similarly, the neutral countries which previously, . hod obtained much of their 1 supplies, from belligerents, were now importing from the United States. The admission of Great Britain that as to foodstuffs and conditional contraband, Lord Salisbury's doctrine, quoted In the American note, would be followed in practice by the British, foodstuffs being held up only when destined to an enemy's force, also was pleasing to American officials. There Is every reason to that the United States wffl not the view of Great Britain that must be taken into sort for eTS ml nation. MARKET QUOTATIONS Live Stock, Grain and Genera! Farm Produce.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority.

"But If John should be proved to have suffered wrongfully? If he should be shown to have been innocent?" His rebuke was quick, instant With a force and earnestness which recalled the courtroom he replied: "Madam, your hopes and wishes have misled you. Tour husband was a guilty man; as guilty a man as any judge ever passed sentence upon." "But he swore the day I last visited him in the prison, with his arms pressed tight about me and his eye looking straight into mine as you are looking now, that he never struck that blow.

And now let us end this interview, so painful to us both.

I am not wild; X am not unconscious of presumption. I S A only in earnest in deadly ear- A miracle is possible. The gulf these two may yet. be spanned. I see a way—" What change was this to which she had suddenly become witness? The face which had not lost an its underlying benignancy even when it looked Its coldest had now become settled and hard. His manner was absolutely repellent as he broke in with the quick disclaimer: "But there is no way. What miracle could ever make your daughter, lovely as she undoubtedly is, a fitting match-for my son! None, madam, absolutely none. Such an alliance would be monstrous; unnatural." "Why?" The word came out boldly. "Because her father died the death of a criminal ?u The answer was equally, blunt "Tea; a criminal over whose trial hie father presided as judge.** Quick as a flash, however, came the retort "A judge, however, who showed him every consideration possible. I told at the time and I have been sured by many since that yon were believed him later, and I believe him now." "Madam, this is quite unprofitable. A jury of his peers condemned him as guilty and the law compelled me to pass sentence upon him. The inevitable must be accepted. I have said my last word." "But not heard mine," ehe panted. T o r me to acknowledge the inevitable where my, daughter's life and happiness are concerned would make me seem a coward in my own eyes.

Advancing upon her with each repetlon of the word, he towered before her, an imposing, almost formidable .figure. She faced again his anger, which might well be righteous, and with almost preternatural insight boldly declared: T o u are too vehement to quite convince me, Judge Ostrander. Acknowledge it or not, there Is more doubt than certainty in your mind; a doubt which ultimately will toad yon to help Then my way should broadenway, at the end of which I see a united couple—my daughter and your more than just to him in your rulings, I eon, Oh, she is worthy of JhJaV* the Judge Ostrander"—he had taken a step toward the nan door; but he paused at this uttesance of his name— "answer me this one question.

No man would be likely to resist it unless his armor were thrice forged. Would he himself be able to? He began to experience a cold fear—a dread which drew a black veil over the future; a blacker vnft than that which had hitherto rested upon it But his face showed nothing. He proceeded, with a piercing intensity not to be withstood: ^ "When you entered my house this morning did you come directly to my room?" "Tea. Bela told me just how to reach it" "And when you saw me Indisposed— unable, in fact, to greet you—what did you do then?" With the force and meaning of one who takes ah oath, she brought her hand, palm downward on the table before her, as she steadily replied: "I flew back into the room through which I had come, undecided whether to fly the house or wait for what might happen to yon. I did not dare ts go till Bela came back. So I stayed watching in a dark corner of that same room. I never left it till the crowd came in. Then I slid out behind them." "Was the child with you—at your side I mean, all this time?" "I never let go her hand." "Woman, you are keeping nothing backr "Nothing but my terror at the sight of Bela running in all bloody to escape the people pressing after him." Sincerity was in her manner and in .her voice. The judge breathed more easily, and made the remark: "No one with hearing unimpaired can realise the suspicion of the deaf, nor can anyone who is not subject to attacks like mine conceive the doubts with which a man so cursed views those who have been active about him while the world to him was blank." Thus he dismissed the present subject, to surprise her by a renewal of the old one. "What are your reasons," said he, "for the hopes you have just ex* pressed? I think it your duty to tell me before we go any further. "Excuse me for tonight What I have to tell—or rather, what I have to show you—requires daylight** Then, it tonight Tomorrow I will tell yon everything. But it will have to he in the place I have mentioned. Will you come to the bluff where the ruins are one-half hour before sunset? Please be exact as to,£he time. Tou will see why, if you come." He leaned across the table—they were oh opposite sides of it—plunging his eyes into hers, then drew back, and remarked with an aspect of gloom bat with much leas the appearance of distrust: "A very odd request madam I hope you have good reason for it;" adding, "I bury Bela tomorrow and the cemetery is in this direction. I will meet you where you eay and at the hoar you name.' And, regarding him closely as, he spoke, she saw that for all the correctness of his manner and the how of respectful courtesy with which ha Instantly withdrew, that deep would be his anger and unquestionable the results to her if she failed to satisfy him at this meeting of the value of her point in reawakening justice and changing public opinion. Hs Was 8erutinlsina Her Keenly. ss she became conscious of his astonmhment added falteringly: "Have yon any objection to meeting me tomorrow on the bran* overlooking CHAPTER V. Excerpts.

Just when he thought it had stopped It would start up again—to and fro, to and fro, as regular as clockwork and much more disturbing. But the complaint never reached Mrs. Averill. The landlady had been restless herself. Indeed, the night had been one of thought and feeling to more than one person in whom we are interested. The feeling we can understand; the thought—that is, Mrs. Averill's thought—we should de well to follow. The one great question which had agitated her was this: Should she trust the judge? Ever since the discovery which had" changed Reuther'B prospects she had instinctively looked to this one source for aid and sympathy. But her faith had been sorely 'shaken in the interview just related. He was not the friend she had hoped to find. He had insisted upon her husband's guilt and he had remained unmoved, or but very little moved, by the disappointment of his son—his only remaining link to life. Judge Ostrander might seem cold—both manner and temper would naturally be much affected by his unique and solitary mods of life—but at heart he must love Oliver. It was not in nature for it to be otherwise. And yet— It was at this point in her musing that there came one of the breaks la her restless pacing. She was always of an impulsive temperament and s> ways giving way to i t 81tting down before paper and ink she wrote the following lines: MIy kDnaorwli ntgh aIft Uthnish aspupdyd eCnh jilodu:r ney on my part must strike you as cruel, when, n eavnedr , cayroeu. nBeuedt tyhoeu rlo vme oIth efere'sl fporre syeoanes, mmyom Reenutathreyr .p aisin d feoerp tehneo usagkhe t oof ctahues eg ryeeent sghoaoddo wI y hqoupees tt o I bbreinlige vey,o uw hoaut t I osfa idt htios ydoonue "on y oleuarv ifnagth, etrh. atF ae eglrinegat ston.j usshtJaolle Iw raes- smliapi nf roqmui eaycoeun,t wainthdo uste ea nyyo uetfhf orarnodn lomvye -pnaort.t tIo hseatv et hdiso nme aytoteur tshtrea iwghrot?n g Io fc aanl-- yieonue es hwochke na nkdn obwitlteedrg dei swillouuslido nh, abvuet aIa wveidll anrodt lyad sdo utLs mHya fvaeu plta tmieen cIen ewrtitiah of a cow- oafn dtr foltoha tatnndu ea ftfoe ctcihoner iwshn iethh oysoeu may odnaey wfeheol fhraese ato r ibgehstt otwo oenacche manodre aunp oonf them. ^ _.

You Don't Have to Lie About Canada—The Simple Truth Is Enough. The natural resources of the country are so vast that they cannot be told in mere figures. Man can only tell of what tiny portions have dona. He can only say^ "I am more prosperous than I ever eipectod to be." And yet If a farmer expects to sue* coed on land that he has been forced to pay l&O to |100 an acre for he ought to feat assured of attaining prosperity when he finds the richest prairie soil at his dlnpiTtfil absolutely free. If ho has a little capital, let him invest it all in live stock and farm implements —he will find h<**•*»'*' ten years ahead of the game. Some day such a chance will not be found anywhere on the face of the globe. But now the same opportunities await you as awaited the pioneer and not one hundredth part of the dMnculties he encountered and overcame. Success in Canada is made-up of two things, natural resources and human labor. Canada has the one and you the other. A postal card stands between -you and the Canadian government agent. If you don't hold these two forces and enjoy^the fruits of the result it is your own fault. Debt and Canada Will Not Stand Hitched. . Tou want a cosy-home, a free life, and sufficient Income. Tou want education for your children, and some pleasure for your wife. Tou want independence. Tour burden has seen heavy, and your farm hasn't paid. Tou work hard and are discouraged. Tou require a change. There is a goal within sight, where your children will have advantages. Tou can get a home in Western Canada, freedom. wajsre your ambitions can be fulfilled. If the Prairie Provinces of Canada are full of Successful Imrmors why shessst you prove the exception? Haven V y s * got brains, experience, courage? prove what these are capable of put on trial It is encouraging to know that there is one country in the world where poverty Is no harrier to wealth; own your own car; ova yourself; be somebody. For facts write to any Canadian government agent Advertisement. Panhandler Failed. This is a panhandle story that failed.

Rome, Jan. 16—The full truth of the extent of the disaster wrought by the earthquake which rocked the entire width of Italy in a 300-mile belt, destroying Avezzano and more than twenty other towns, and causing loss of life and property in less degree in a acore more of towns, lies hidden behind a tangled maze of wires and debris-clogged highways. A member of the chamber of deputies from Lipari telegraphed to P r e mier Salanda that the disaster would surpass in degree of violence and percentage of dead and injured the Messina earthquake of 1908, in which ltjfi.OOO were killed and injured. An unofficial estimate from a conservative source places the approximate losses at 18,000 killed and 20,000 injured. Premier Salandra told his associates at the cabinet meeting held to provide relief for the inhabitants of the stricken area that the feared the loss of life might reach 20,000 and the number of injured 30,000. He said the disaster was second only to that of Messina. A brief dispatch transmitted to Borne after communication had been restored between Naples and Sohnona, 23 miles east of Avessano, the center of too earthquake belt said reports of the losses had been exaggerated, and that the ton of death would not exceed 2,000. Official circles adhere generally to the estimate of about 18,000 killed and 20,000 injured. J Survivors are living in terror of new earthquake shocks following several slight tremors, which completed the destruction of many buildings Twbich had been severely dsmeged Many persons were injured by the recurring shocks, among them a number of the rescuers.

Queen Helena, deterred by illness, delegated .the Duchess of Aosta to represent her. The duchess has gone to Monterodonda, where she immediately installed herself as a hospital nurse to care for the wounded. Trainload upon trainload of injured are rolling into Rome. Every train arriving from the Province of Abruzzi brings hundreds of injured. The refugees are distributed among the hospitals and private dwellings. The mayor of Rome, Prince Solonna, has placed at the disposal of the refugees several hotels and public buildings, where food is provided by the city. Aid Rushed to Quake Zone. But just now relief work is being expedited by the army and other government agencies in the hope of preventing the outbreak of an epidemic. All haste is being made to put supplies, medicines, doctors, nurses, temporary shelter and other immediate needs into the Btricken zone as quickly as possible. The trains that are bringing In the injured are being loaded immediately-!- Report* with surgeons and their, staffs, with immense quantities of supplies. Special trains are being dispatcher hourly with relief expeditions, and committees have been formed in each locality to superintend the work. Martial law prevails, and the soldiers when not on guard are working night and day trying to rescue those who are still alive in the ruins. Twenty thousand people were killed and twice as many injured by the earthquake in the immediate vicinity of Lake Fuccino, in the Province of Aquila, alone, It was reported. Eighteen small towns surrounding the lake were completely rased. Twenty others were badly damaged. At least 100,- 000 persons are homeless as a result of the disaster. Dispatches received here from An* cona say a heavy storm raged along the Adriatic coast There was also a heavy fall of snow. Naples reports a strong tidal wave in the Gulf of Qaeta, accompanied by seismic disturbances on shore. Venice telegraphs of very cold weather in the Alps, with the snow in deep drifts. King Roaches Avezzano, A dispatch from Avessano says King Victor Emmanuel arrived there an a relief train. He inspected the ruins and watched the work of rescue, which Is being carried on by the troops with the assistance of civilians. Government officials had urged the Una* to remain in Bone because of the international situation in Europe, but he left early for the vicinity of Avessano to do whatever he could and by his presence gtve stimulus to the relief work.

At Avezxano those who got away and were only slightly wounded instated upon returning to search the ruins of their homes for relatives and friends. Survivors dug frantically into heaps of plaster and stone, often stained with blood. In many instances survivors fainted as their dead were brought to light in the ruins of the home. Then the heartbroken searcher had to be cared for by the members of the hastily organized relief committee. 30,000 Troops at Work. Thirty thousand soldiers have been distributed throughout the earthquake district and already large quantities of provisions and clothing, with wood for the construction of huts, have arrived. Bishop and Monks Lost. At Pesclna the cathedral belfry and the house of the bishop entirely disappeared. No trace of Monsignor Bagnoli, bishop of Pescina, and 20 Carmelites who lived with him has been found, and it is feared that all perished.

Avezzano and vicinity—15,000 killed and injured. Aielli—Nearly one thousand dead and injured. Arpino—150 known dead; scores injured. Albano—Many dead; town severely damaged. Arricia—50 dead and injured. Caxnpob&sso—20 known dead; town damaged; many reported burned in wreckage. Cori—Town partly demolished; casualties nnesttmated.

Megliano—Death list will be large, as whole city is reported demolished. Potensa (ninety miles east of Naples)—Many buried in rains; feared many of 10,609 population are dead; town badly damaged.

Rtpl—Number known dead. 16; many hurt Bora—100 reported dead; town completely wrecked. In addition Hie following towns hare Rome—Detailed reports coming in from the provinces which suffered in the earthquake Thursday morning show that the number of deaths will .probably exceed the first estimates of 20,000, and will perhaps be more than 35,000, with nearly 50,000 injured. These figures are based on the conditions found by the relief organizations in towns and villages near Rome, especially in Avezzano, which was entirely destroyed with a loss of life that may surpass 10,000. The authorities do not attempt even to estimate the casualties in Campania and the southern part of the province of The Abruzzi, where the under secretary of public works is prganizing the relief work. The same situation is true of the towns of Sora, 15 miles southeast of Avezxano, Pesdesolido, Castellirl, Atina and Isolaliri, where the mortality Is supposed to have been: greatest. Conditions Are Appalling. Soldiers are now engaged in opening up the railroads and highways to those places which are as yet unrelieved since the disaster at Avezzano has monopolized the relief efforts. The conditions in Campania are said to be especially appalling. Although the killed and Injured are increasing, Italy has gone resolutely at the task of relief and is confident of handling the situation without outside aid. Offers from foreign countries have been declined with thanks, although Americans, French, British and other residents here are taking an active part. Fears that foreigners had lost their lives in the disaster have been dispelled by careful inquiry, and It is certain that no Americans were killed, though some naturalized emigrants are probably among the victims. King Victor Emmanuel has been extremely active, not only In directing the relief work, but actually participating ior it himself. When he returned by train from Avezzano during the night, he brought with him 40 injured who were distributed among the hospitals in Rome along with hundreds of others who are arriving in every sort of conveyance. Face Hunger and Exposure. Heavy reinforcements of troops and rescue and relief parties are trying to reach the inaccessible places and save the survivors, who are threatened with death from hanger and exposure, despite the admirable and rapid organisation of relief which is still insufficient A new pern now menaces stricken Avessano. The earthquake overturned the stone statue of the Virgin on the bank of Lake Fue'no. It fell into the emissarium which drains the lake and stopped up the waters so that a flood is feared, just na in previous years before the drainage system was pat in. People who escaped the shock are; now seeing from the surrounding countryside, while an army of eap» pen is striving to remove the fallen statue and avert another catastrophe. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF.

It is timely to recall that Admiral Montagu reported about Napoleon's flat-bottomed boats after he had captured one of them. "In short, sir, these vessels to my mind are completely contemptible and ridiculous, and I therefore conclude that the number collected at Boulogne are to keep our attention on the qui vive and to gloss over the real attack meditated from other points-.** If Napoleon ever seriously contemplated subduing England by means of these craft, the admiral would have agreed with the Parisian wits, who dubbed their emperor "Don Quixote de la Manche."—London Chronicle. Joys of Fishing. Bacon—I see natives of the eastern slopes of_the Andes, in Bolivia, scatter the juice of a tree on^streams to render fish Insensible so they can be caught by the hands. Egbert—But it can't be much like fishing unless a fellow has to wait the greater part of the day for the fish to become insensible. Mlawa, for Example.

FOUL CRIME IN DARK HOLLOW ALGERNON ETHERIDGE, PROMINENT CITIZEN, WAYLAID AND MURDERED AT LONG BRIDGE. DIRECT CLUE TO MURDERER Stick With Which Crime Was Committed Easily Traced to its Owner— Landlord pf Claymore Tavern In the Tolls—H* Denies V- Hit Guilt "Last evening Shelby's clean record was blackened by outrageous crime. Some time after nightfall a carter was driving home by Factory road, when, just as he was nearlng Long bridge, he came upon the body—©* a man lying without movement and seemingly without life. "Knowing that in all probability an hour -might elapse before assistance could arrive in the shape of another passer-by, he decided to carry his story straight to Claymore tavern. It was fortunate his horses were headed that way instead of the other, or he might have missed seeing the skulklng figure which, slipped down into the ravine with a short cough, hurriedly choked back. He could not see the face or identify the figure, but he knew the cough. He had heard it a hundred times; and, saying to himself, "That's John Scovfyle,' he whipped his horse up the hill and took the road to Claymore. "And he was right A dozen fellows started up at his call, but Scoville was not^among them. He had been out for two hours; which, the carter having heard, he looked down, but said nothing except 'Come along, boys! I'll drive you to the turn of the bridge.' "But just aa they were starting Scc~ yille appeared. He waa hatleas and disheveled and reeled heavily with liquor. He ale<r tried to smile, which made the carter lean quickly down and with vert little ceremony drag him up Into the cart So with Scoville amongst them they rode quickly back to., the bridge,/ the landlord coughina the men all grimly silent , "One.flash of the lantern told the dismal} tale. The man was not only dead, hat murdered. His forehead had been battered in-with a knotted stick; all his pockets hung gut empty; and from the general disorder of his -dtess it waa evident that his watch had been torn away by. a ruthless hand. But the face they failed to recognise till some people, running down from the upper town, where the alarm had by this time spread, sent up the shoot of Ws Mr. BtherWge! Judge Ostrander'i great friend. Let some oner run and notify the Judge.* "But the tact was settled Ion* before the Judge came spon the scene, sad another fact, too. In Seating the bashes they had ttghted on a heary stick, Whoa ttwas brought forward and held under; the stress; light made by a circle of lanterns a bit morssient m the crowC The stiefc eootslsed Indeed, i t was wed known to afl Claymore ft Is: 8eev_e*s naaos a of his pockets. He was immediately put under arrest and taken to the city lockup." A later paragraph: "The detectives were busy this morning, going over the whole ground in the vicinity of the bridge. "They were rewarded by two important discoveries. The impression of a foot in a certain soft place half-way up the bluff; and a small heap of fresh earth near by which, on being dug into, revealed the watch of the murdered man. The broken chain lay with it "The. footprint has been measured. It coincides exactly with the shoe worn that night by the suspect/' . . . "The prisoner continues to deny his guilt The story he gives out is to the effect that he left the tavern some few minutes before -seven o'clock, to look for his child, who had wandered into the ravine. He had his stick with him, for he never went out without it, but, finding it in his way, he leaned it against a tree. "He crossed the bridge and took the path running along the edge of the ravine. In doing this he came upon the body of a man in the black recesses of the hollow, a man so evidently beyond all help that he would have hurried by without a second look if |t had not been for the watch he saw lying on the ground close to the dead man's side. "It was a very fine watch; it seemed better for him to take it into his own charge till he found some responsible person willing to carry it to police headquarters. "He dashed into the woods, and, tearing up the ground with his hands, buried his booty in the loose soil, and made for home. Even then he had no intention of appropriating the watch, only of safeguarding himself, nor did he have any hand at all in the murder of Mr. Etheridge. This he would swear to; also, to the leaving of the stick where he said." . . . "Today John Scovllle was taken to the tree where he insists he left his stick. The prisoner showed a sudden interest in the weapon and begged to see it closer. He pointed out where a splinter or two had been freshly whittled from the handle, and declared that no knife had touched it while it remained in his hands. But, as he had no evidence to support this statement, the impression made by this declaration is not likely to go far He Was Hstless and Disheveled. toward influencing- public opinion in bis favor." Deborah sighed as she laid this clipping aside and took, up another headed by a picture of her husband. It was not ajx naauAdsome faoe. Indeed, ft was his good looks which had prevailed over her jedgaomt to the early days of their coartshlp. Benhad inherited her hanaonr of Was not the man who could bring his hand down upon so frail and exquisite a creature as Reuther was in those days capable of any act of violence? Tea; but in this case be had been guiltless. She could not but concede this even while yielding to extreme revulsion aa she laid his picture aside. The next slip she took up contained a eulogy of the victim. "The sudden death'of Algernon Etheridge has been in more jthan one sense a great shock to the community. Though a man of passive, rather than active qualities, his scholarly figure, long, lean and bowed, has been seen too often in our Streets not to be missed, when thus suddenly withdrawn. "Why he should have become the target of Fate is aae>-ef-4h*- mysteries of life. His watch, which, aside from his books, was his most valuable possession, was the gift of Judge Oatrander. That it should be associated in any way with the tragic circumstances of his death is a source of the deepeot regret to the unhappy donor." This excerpt she hardly looked at; but the following ehe studied carefully: "Judge Ostrander has from the first expressed a strong desire that some associate judge should be called upon to preside over the trial of John Scovllle for the murder of Algernon Etheridge. But Judge Saunders' sudden illness and Judge Dole's departure for Europe have put an end to these hopee. Judge Ostrander will take hia seat on the bench as usual next Monday. Fortunately for the accused. hiB well-known Judicial mind will prevent any unfair treatment of the defense." "The prosecution, in the able hands of District Attorney Foss, made all its points this morning. Unless the defense has some very strong plea in the background the verdict eeems foredoomed. A dogged look has replaced the callous and indifferent sneer on the prisoner's face, and sympathy, if sympathy there is, is centered entirely upon the wife, the able, agreeable and bitterly humiliated landlady of Claymore tavern. She it is who has attracted the most attention during this trial, little as she seems to court it." We omit further particulars which followed to save repetition; but they were carefully conned by Deborah Scovllle. Also the following: "The defense is in line with the statement already given out. The prisoner acknowledges taking the watch, but from motives quite opposed to those of thievery. Unfortunately he can produce no witnesses to substantiate his declaration that he had heard voices in the direction of the bridge while he was wandering the woods In search of his lost child. No evidence of any other presence there is promised or likely to be produced It was thought that when his wife was called to the stand she might have something to say helpful to his case. She had been the one to ultimately find and lead home the child, and, silent as she had been up to this time, it has been thought possible that she might swear to having heard these voices also. "But her testimony was very disappointing. She had seen nobody but the child, whom she had found playing with stones in the old ruin. Though by a close calculation of time she could not have been far from Dark Hollow at the Instant of the crime, yet neither on direct or cross examination could anything more be elicited from her than what has been mentioned above. Nevertheless, we feel obliged to state that irreproachable as her conduct was on the stand, the impression she made was, on the whole, whether intentionally or unintentionally, unfavorable to her husband. "Some anxiety was felt during the morning session that an adjournment would have to be called, owing to some slight signs of indisposition on the, part of the presiding judge. But he rattled very speedily, and the proceedings continued without interruption." -AhlM The exclamation escaped the lips of Deborah 8coville as she laid this clipping aside. "I remember bis appearance well. He had the ghost of one of those attacks, the fall -force of which I was witness to this morning. I am sure of this now, though nobody thought of it then. I happened to glance his way as I left the stand, and he was certainly for one minute without consciousness of himself or his surroundings. Bat it passed so quickly It drew little attention; not so the attack of today. What a misftoftag* rests upon this man. Will they let hiss- continue on the bench his fuH condition it knownr weighed the pies of hie counsel and the call for strict impartiality from the bench. He was adjudged guilty of murder in the first degree, and sentence called for. This was the end; and as she read these words the horror which overwhelmed her was infinitely greater than when she heard them uttered In that fatal courtroom. For then she regarded him as guilty and deserving his tatej and now she knew him to be innocent. When her eyelids finally obeyed the dictates of her will the first glimmering raye of dawn were beginning to scatter the gloom of her darkened chamber! CHAPTER VI. The Shadow. Bela was to be buried at four. As Judge Ostrander prepared to lock his gate behind the simple cortege which was destined to grow into a vast crowd before it reached the cemetery, he was stopped by the sergeant, who whispered in his ear: "I thought your honor might like to know that the woman—" "Have you found out who she is^' "No, sir. The man couldn't very well ask her to lift her veil, and at the tavern they have nothing to.say about her." "It's a email matter. I will see her myself today and find out what she wants of me. Meanwhile remember that I leave thia house and grounds "Have You Found Out Who She IsT absolutely to your protection for the next three hours. I Bhall be known to be absent, so that a more careful watch than ever is necessary. Not a man, boy or child is to climb the fence. I may rely on you?" "You may, judge." "On my return you ^ n all go. I will guard my own property after today. You understand me, sergeant?" "Perfectly, your honor." Spencer's Jftlly, to the judge, approaching it from the highway, was as ugly a sight as the world contained. He hated Its arid desolation and all the litter of blackened bricks blocking trp the site of former feastings and reckless merriment. Most of all, he shrank from a sight of the one corner still intact where the ghosts of dead memories lingered, making the whole place horrible to his eye and one to be shunned by all men. The cemetery from which he had come looked less lonesome to his eyes and far less ominous. No sign remained of pillar or doorway— only a gap. Toward this gap he stepped, feeling a strange reluctance in entering it But he had no choice. He knew what he should s e e - No, he did not know what he should see* for when he finally stepped in it was not an open view of the hollow which met his syes, but the purpleclad figure of Mrs. Averill with little Peggy at her side. He had not expected to see the child, and, standing as they were with their backs to him. they presented, a picture which, for some reason to be found fy the mysterious recesses of bis disordered mind, was exceedingly repellent to him. The noise he made should have caused Deborah's tan and graceful _t_re to tarn. But the spell of her own thoughts was too great; and he would hare found himself compelled to utter the first word, if the child* who had heard him plainly enough, had not dragged at the woman's hand and so woke her from her dream (TO BE CONTOmBD.) A POTATO KING HIf I were a farmer boy, or a boy without capital, and wanted an early competency. I'd start right out growing Potatoes, said Henry Schroeder, the Potato king of the Red River Valley, whose tstory in the John A. Saber Seed Co.'• Catalogue reads stranger than a romance.

Many of them pass through life without uttering a single sound But there are gome interesting exceptions to this rule. The harvest flies, or cicadas, for example, are notoriously noisy, the "song" of some species having been compared to the shrill whistle of a locomotive engine. They are very Abundant in the warmer regions of both hemispheres. The males alone are tuneful—a fact which was commented upon by certain of the Greek poets and philosophers, one of whom writes: "Happy the cicadas live, since they all have voiceless wives." Strictly speaking, however, the cicada is* not a vocalist, but an instrumentalist. T h e sounds that it makes are due to a special mechanism which resembles a pair of kettledrums. T h e s e have their place in cavities on each Bide of the thorax, and are protected beneath by large plates which may possibly act also as .soundingboards. The membranes of the drums are not beaten, but are thrown into rapid vibration by a special set of volun- „tary muscles, the result being the loud, shrill music for which the cicada is famous. Apart from the cicadas, the only other notably Bonorific insects are found in the group which naturalists term the "leaping orthoptera"—I. e. the grasshoppers, crickets and their allies. In these mstancea the analogy of the drum must be discarded for that of the fiddle. Let us take first the grasshoppers. Everyone has listened to their chirping, and perhaps some inquiring spirits have observed that the sound is always accompanied by a kind of swaying of the insect's body, and an alternate movement of its hind legs. But the full inwardness of the matter can only be appreciated by the aid of the microscope. On a certain ridge on the inner side of the grasshopper's hind femur—the thigh of the great leaping leg—there is a row of extremely modified hairs. This ridge represents the bow of the soundproducing apparatus. By the move- , ment of the leg it is rubbed to and fro against a prominent nervure or "vein" of the closed fore-wing; and this fiddling process gives rise to the grasshopper's well-known "song." "Strldulation." Naturalists call the method "stridulation." In the case of the cricfcets it is managed in a different way, viz. by rubbing one wing over the other. Bach fore-wing of the male is furnished with a vein which is minutely ridged or filelike on its under side; and this bow plays upon a vein on the upper surface of the wing beneath it As the apparatus is in duplicateeach wing having its vein and bow— the insect is Ambidextrous, so to speak. In practice, however, it is found that the right wing is generally, though not always, uppermost The reverse is true of the long-horn, treefrequenting grasshoppers. Their soli tary filelike bow is found on the underside of the left fore-wing, which is always uppermost In these insects— and in the crickets to a leaser ent—the overlapping fore-wings form a kind of resounding chamber which intensifies the volume of each note that the fiddler produces. Time and Temperament " Dr. S- H. Scudder, an eminent observer of insect life in America, has expressed some of the songs of crickets and grasshoppers in musical notation. He has also recorded the curious fact that there is a distinct relation between the rapidity of note produotkm and tin temperature. On warm daya, when the sun is shining brightly, these little nissidsns addle away with all their might dun and chilly Is slow »nd mournful Many crickets, however, remain silent u&tfi the of evening begin to tail, sad beads loudly to For this Is really the outof the whole matter.

But how does an insect "listen T In most insects the auditory organs if they can be demonstrated at all. take the form of excessively minute structures connected with nerves These structures, which are microscopic hairs, and cavities, are found most commonly upon antennae, but they may also occur upon other parts of the body. So far as the writer is aware, the cicadas have not been shown to possess any specialized "ears.** We are thus left to assume that they gain their impressions of sound by means of scattered sense organs such as those which have just heeu mentioned. Indeed, some authorities are of opinion that cicadas do not hear at all in our sense of the word, but that they "feeT rhythmical vibrations. Insects With Ears. With grasshoppers and crickets, however, the case is quite different These insects undoubtedly ATTACKED BY TINY RATTLER Venomous Pygmy Reptile Was den in a Log Near King Snake Eggs, Hid- In a small pond we captured several of the banded water snakes (Tropidonotus facciatus). One. a large and richly marked specimen, was lying as he was among the short growth of v station. I nearly stepped, on him before I saw him. On placing the forked stick over him he wound up it as far aa he could and struck viciously at everything in reach, but was soon grasped by the neck and placed into a bag. These water snakes, though nonvenomous, were by a great majority of the .people we met thought to he very poisonous. Many snakes wen uncovered In turning over the fans; which pA*rQrt/tLA*ca>fo*£*i£CQrALcm- HO/iff GRA3SH0P&/1> ears—elaborate structures admirably adapted to receive and transmit sound waves. But the external openings of 'these organs are most surprisingly located. In crickets and long-horn grasshoppers there are two curved slits in the tibia or shin of the foreleg, one on each side. Just below the "knee." These are the openings of the ears! Each slit gives access to a tympanum, or "drum," which Is connected with air spaces and nerve endings. In the case of the short-horn grasshoppers, the ears occupy an equally unexpected position, vis. at the base of the abdomen. The opening on either side may be found beneath the wings, Just above the attachment of the great hind-leg. It will be well, in conclusion, to emphasise the fact that the noises made by insects are strictly Instrumental No insect has a "voice"—that is, the power of producing sounds by the expulsion of air from the lungs through the throat and mouth. Indeed, Insects have no lungs, nor do they use their mouths for breathing. On the contrary, they take in atmospheric atr through a number of small openings along the sides of the body. These openings are called "spiracles.*' They give access to an elaborate system of minute pipes, or "tracheae," which ramify among the insect's living tissues and convey to them the oxygen necessary for the discharge of the va rious v*tal processes. Just within each spiracle there is an ingenious little valve which is opened and closed by a muscular contraction. The circulation of air, to and fro through the spiracles, is kept up by a constant palpitating movement of the whole abdomen. This may be seen, for example. In a waap that is regaling ttself tn the dish of fruit on our table; hut in the case of a hibernating queen wasp, the body is practically motionless— the reason being that the insect's dormancy is so complete that it requires scarcely any oxygen to continue in being. The nearest approach to a true "voice" among insects is the humming sound produced by a mechanism within the spiracles. If we shut up a bee in a box, we shall find that it is able to hum loudly, even though it may be unable to agitate its wings. The mechanism is too complicated te describe here; but it may be roughiy likened to a wind instrument such as a cornet. inside of which were a number of empty shells of snake eggs probably the king snake or blacksnake—end as he reached to pick one of them up tor closer examination he caught sight of a pygmy rattler celled partly under some pieces of the rotting core of the log; and Jerked his hand away Just in time, for the little snake struck viciously, narrowly missing tt. We broke open all the hollow logs which we found, and in doing so found several, very fine specimens of the king snake (Ophibolus getulus). Usually when we found one we would find another one very done by.

The combination would be ugly if the coat was long. The use of plaid for collar and cuffs on a jacket of solid color is often ad vocated. but it is not to be commended just now. The suggestion of putting plaid peltry on dark cloth suits was brought out by PremeL but it w a s ' not followed over here, possibly because it was difficult to get the dyed fur, and the fashion was too fleeting and experimental for the, expense involved.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) The familiar practice of hogging off crops has heen developed by experts In the Uniietl States department of agriculture into a scientific system of farm management which, it is said, will minimize, in those sections and those firms to which it is adapted, the cost of harvest labor. Reduced to its simplest terms this system, which is described in full in Farmers' Bulletin No. 614, "A Corn Belt System -of Farming Which Saves Harvest Labor by Hogging Down Crops," consists of a four or five-year rotation of corn, corn, rye and a mixture of clover and timothy one or two years. A farm managed on this system should consist of four or five fields of from 20 to 40 acres each, and it is desirable that all the fields should be of approximately the same size. Farms should be laid out in accordance with the following plan: 1. Corn—First year to be hogged off. 2. Corn—Second year to be cut and rye •own. 8. Rye and Young Clover—Hogged off and pastured. 4. Clover and Timothy—Hog pastured. 5. Timothy and Clover—For hajr or pasture. Above Is plan of a farm run on a fiveyear rotation. In field No. 1 the first year corn ts grown and hogged off as soon as it is ripe. This is generally .from September 1 to September 10. When the com la cultivated for the last time, it is usually desirable to sow soy beans or rape, in order that the hogs may ha^e pasturage while gathering the corn, and also because such a crop supplies •valuable humus which can be turned back into the soil. In the following spring this field is prepared for second- year corn and becomes field No. 2 In the illustration. Feld No. 2 1B, as we have seen, devoted to second year corn, which is not hogged off but harvested by hand. Here rye is sown in the fall. Under favorable conditions this can be done while the corn is still standing, but If necessary it is not too late after the corn has been cut and shocked. Rye may be sown much later than wheat, and this is one of its great advantages In a rotation such as is now being described. Field No. 3 is devoted to rye throughout the entire season. In the spring it is pastured by the hogB as long as it is palatable, affording excellent pasturage, especially for young bogs and brood sowa. When, the rye becomes tough and the hogs cease to relish it, they should be removed and not returned to the field until two weeks after the rye has ripened. They should then be allowed to gather the entire crop and to graze upon the young clover that has come up with I t Field No. 4 is devoted entirely to hog pasture. When clover and timothy are planted together, the hogs graze principally on the clover and leave most of the timothy to be cut for hay. In the five-year rotation, however, field No. 5 is depended upon to MIDDLINGS FOR YOUNG PIGS furnish the principal supply 6*f hay for the horses and cows. There should be some surplus and this, of course, can be sold. Late in the fall the field is plowed for first year com, and in the following spring it takes its place In the rotation as field No. 1. Under such a extern hogs furnish the principal income. They are turned in on the rye as early as possible in the spring and there they remain as long as the pasture is tender, although the brood sows should be taken to other inclosures as soon as the spring pigs can be weaned, and there bred for fall litters. Early in May when the rye probably ceases to afford good pasture the hogs are turned into field No. 4, devoted to first-year clover and timothy. With the addition of a reasonably liberal corn ration they feed on this until the middle of July, or two weeks after the rye has ripened, when they are turned back into the rye field and allowed to hog it all down without other feed. By the time the rye is harvested the corn in field No. 1 is ready for the hogs. If none of the stock is sold before, the hogs will gather all the corn by November 1. In this way with practically no labor and very little attention the entire herd is furnished with pasture and grain feed throughout the entire spring, jummer and fall. In addition, there is the corn from field No. 2, which is harvested and not hogged down, and the surplus hay from fields No. 4 and 5. Under this system, the only time when outside labor is indispensable is during the hay harvest On a farm of a hundred acres it is not probable that this will amount to more than ten days' hired labor, which is certainly much less than is required by the systems of farm management in more general use. As for the cash Income, it may be said that roughly speaking rye ultimately brings the same returns, whether it is hogged down or cut and threshed and sold. In the latter case, however, there is all the cost of labor to be considered. To save this, is the main object of the system described. Test Before Tiling. If you are not sure as to whether tile draining will pay or not, try the work out on a few wet places about the farm that most seriously interfere with your work In the field, when the other portions are ready to be worked. In^thiB manner you can determine for yourself how It works out on your own farm. It costs a lot of money to put in a complete system of tile drainage and a man ought to know what he is doing before he puts in his good money. If Rye Can Be Purchased for Less Money Than Wheat It Will Be to Advantage to Feed Them. : • > * . • • W Chemical analyses Indicate that there is nearly 75 per cent more fat and slightly more, protein in wheat middlings than in rye middlings, although feeding testa show that wheat middlings are but very little better than rye middlings.

J., revived an ancient prophecy concerning Egypt, the literal fulfillment of which, they asserted, has been borne out in history. The prophecy is-Jound in Ezeklel 29:13-15 And 30:13. Part o*. it reads ae follows: "It shall be the basest of kingdoms, neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations, for I shall diminish them that they shall no more rule over the nations . . . and there shall be no more a prince of the land of Egypt; and I will put a' fear in the land of Egypt." Since this prophecy was written, said one of the speakers, Egypt has been ruled by the Babylonians, the Romans and the Turks, and now it has passed under the absolute sway of England. Yet Egypt once was the greatest and richest of the world's nations. LOGIC AS HE UNDERSTOOD IT Arthur Could Marshal Many Good Reasons Why He Should Not Attend School. The only safe bet on a woman's age is that she is older than she thinks she looks. As young Arthur was now six, hi* parents decided that it was time he went to school. Arthur had other views on the Bubject, and these views were In direct opposition to those held by the older people. In short, Arthur refused pointblank to go within a mile and a half of any school. Father threatened dire punishment; mother held out a dreary prospect of jamlesa *ueals, even grandmother—the most kindly of mortals and a great friend of Arthur's—even she deserted him and talked about discontinuing f the weekly bag of sweets. This was a great blow to the young rebel, but he stuck to his guns. At last* grandmother decided to make one last effort to soften nls heart "Now, Arthur dear, why can't you | be a nice, sensible boy and go to school like the other children?" she asked. "I'll tell you why, grandma," he re torted, Indignantly. "I can't read an' I can't write; I can't draw an' I can't sing! So what's the good of me going to school, I should like to know."

Tho Pink of Health is every woman's right: bat mans are troubled with sallow complexions, headaches, backaches, low spirits—until they learn that sore relief may he found in Ton can't possibly realize what it meant to a pleasure-loving and seltsatiafied man of mature years to real* ize that you, my beloved contributors of the past to my prosperity and comfort out In the small towns and in the country, were getting up early in the morning and were out in the cow barns milking, and out in the fields plowing, planting, harvesting, shocking wheat or husking corn while the fingers swell and crack and while the chilblains burn and throb so that you could send your quota of coin to the concern that paid me the dividends that permitted me to lie abed in the morning until my servant came and told me that my coffee or chocolate was ready and that my bath had been fixed so that I might make the toilet of the morning luxuriously and with -befitting pleasure and comfort Dear reader, all this was done with the help of YOUR money—the money that you sent to the big concern that paid the dividends on my securities. I acknowledge that when you awakened and aroused yourself to a feeling of anger and honest indignation—for which I did not blame you in the feast, because you had been a long and steady contributor to my Idleness— then you had me on the hip and I was compelled to seek some other method of subsistence, although it did go hard with me to be compelled to go to work after so many years. But you must not be too hard on me, because I had merely taken advantage of the existing conditions. I had cheerfully and joyfully taken your money. X had written you such optimistic and jollying letters that you quickly and generously responded by sending the cash with your orders and ' we had taken the toll that we figured you would stand without a "holler." We had studied you, gentle ^reader, and we had figured out to a cent just what you would stand when a "touch" was made. Tou must acknowledge that we did not fall to weigh you consistently and advisedly, because we had succeeded in exacting the toll which made us prosperous. The people are awakening to a realization of their condition, and the inhabitants of the 8mall towns and of the rural districts are beginning to realise that they are simply killing the future of their communities by sending their money away to the big mail order houses in the cities. We hear all sorts of recriminations and hard words addressed to the people in the villages and on the farms who send their money away to the mail order houses In Chicago and elsewhere, but the masses have considered it their privilege to do as they please without regard for the interests of their communities. The country merchant pays his taxes and he tries to do a business with his fellow men that will permit him to pay his taxes regularly and also give him a living profit on his sales. In many eases he gives yon credit, and he carries some of yon for months and even years on his books. Do yon appreciate it? , ' Yon do not You run up a credit bill with Tour local merchant, and during the lean months yon take full advan- Stranger, rather than to have confidence in a neighbor, reminds me of a little incident that occurred when I made a trip into Texas a few year* ago. 1 stopped at *k little town, and at the station I asked the agent which was the best hotel. There's' two of 'em,* he replied, "and if T was you I'd go to tne second one up Main street** **Is it better than the other oner* I Inquired. **I dunno," he replied, shaking his head, "but 1 live at the first one. 1 know just how bad that one Is." Which goes to show that human nat u r e prefers, at times, to trust in the unknown, rather than In that with which we are familiar. But when you come to think of It. there is a responsibility dealing with our own fortunes, and the fortunes of those who will follow us in this life, which does not permit ua to always follow our Inclinations. We must think for the future as well as for the present • We live in a community togelhei with a lot of neighbors. We meet them In connection with our everyday affairs, and we have opinions that differ with our neighbors. There Is no one subject in the, whole world upon which we all agree, therefore It is but natural that we have many differences. We can condone the differences of opinion and decline to enter into controversies, or we can argue whenever we have the chance, and eng-ige in constant strife. Which is the best way to get along? The man who argues all his life has little time for other affairs. The man who declines to become involved in wordy discussions has plenty of time to attend to bis own business. And in this world it is the man who attends to his own business who prospers. This life is made up of disputes and arguments. You can argue with your best friend until you become a pest and an unwelcome visitor. You can spend your time discussing the affairs of others until, no matter if you win your arguments, you will discover that you have made yourself unpopular. Unpopularity is not an asset in the business of life. It never paid a dividend. It never brought In any wages. And it is strictly your business to try to make the best of everything In your community, to help create harmony, to "boost" your home town ail the time and to help those who can help you. Harmony creates peace, and peace engenders prosperity. Your town wants peace and harmony, especially between the people and the merchants It Is peace and harmony that make business good—that add a value to your own house and lot. Envy walks hand in hand with malice down every village street and when this pair appears on the street the white dove of peace flutters into a corner and hides.

The European has grown so accustomed to sneering at the American for his ignorance of European' affairs, especially since the outbreak of the war, that we have grown to take the snub submissively, with never a thought of the even more gross ignor- j ance of things American on the part of Europeans. Yet that such ignorance is common in Europe, even among the educated and military classes, there is no doubt The elder Charles Francis Adams, who was United States minister to Great tage of his friendliness and hU h o p e + B r i u l n taring the Civil war, used to tell the following experience with a prominent Englishman: Late in July, 1863, there being no cable then laid under the Atlantic a steamer from New York brought to the American legation In London dispatches announcing the fall of Vickaburg and Lee's repulse at Gettysburg on the same day. A few evenings later I held a reception in honor of the double victory, inviting all the prominent figures of English official society. Among the guests was Maj. Gen. Garnet Wolseley, afterward commander in chief of the British army. After congratulating me upon the dual success of the Union anna, he added: "Yet I think your generals made a very serious blunder, Mr. Adams," "In what respectr I asked, somewhat mystified; for it had seemed, to me that Grant at Vieksburg, and Meade, at Gettysburg, had done about aH there was to he done.

Washington—After two days of debate on the general state of the national defenses, the house Friday night passed without a roll call, the army appropriation bill, carrying $101,000,000. Advocates of immediate strengthening of the military establishment fought to the last for additional appropriations, but their efforts met with no encouragement from either democratic or republican leaders. The last roll call on a motion by Representative Gardner, of Massachusetts, to recommit the bill with instructions to report back an amendment carrying $1,000,000 for aviation, was defeated; 253 to 34. An amendment offered by Representative Deitrlck, of Massachusetts, and adapted practically without opposition, Jsniuld prohibit tbe use of stop-watches 'and other "speering-up" devices in flt&nection with so-called scientific Management systems in army arsenate and "shops. Representatives of union labor have been fighting for this prohibition for several years, and bills similar to the Deitrlck amendment and applying to all government shops, Including navy yards, are pending before committees. The house also adopted an amendment ty Representative Tavenner, of Illinois, to require that all of the monitions of war provided for in the bill shall be manufactured in government plants. The bill, which carries funds for the maintenance of all branches of the army during the coming fiscal year, includes $300,000 for the purchase of 25 aeroplanes, and $50,000 'for an armored motor car. These items, and efforts to add to them, furnished texts for long discussions on the ose of the aeroplane and armored motor car in the European war. The appropriation for the purchase of flgld artillery material was increased from $26,000 to $170,000. CONGRESSMAN LOSES FIGHT FOR BIG ARMY 8urvfcy 8howt Small Earnings.

London—The German armored cruiser Bluecher was sunk and two German battle cruisers were seriously damaged in a running fight in the North sea Sunday with British battle cruisers and a destroyer flotilla, pitted against a similar fleet of German warships, believed to have been attempting a second raid on- English coast towns. No British ships were lost The British fleet of cruisers, under Vice-Admiral Sir David Beatty, and flotilla, under Commodore Tyrwhitt were on patrol duty when the German fleet was sighted early in the morning, steaming westward, presumably in the neighborhood of Helgoland, although tbe statement of the admiralty dismisses the location hy saying the German ships were "apparently making for the English coast."* The German warships, on sighting the enemy, turned homeward at high speed, and the British started in pursuit The engagement began at 9:30 o'clock, and the Buecher capsised and went down shortly after 1 o'clock. The pursuit was abandoned on reaching waters where there was danger to the Britons from German mines and submarines. A battle also occurred between the light cruisers and destroyers accompanying the bigger ships, but tbe result of this engagement has not yet reached tbe admiralty. The British were superior in ships engaged, weight of armament and speed, and the flight of the German ships into the mine and submarine infested field possibly saved tbem from further losses. So far as is known here, 123 men of tbe Bluecher'8 885 have been rescued. All the vessels named by the British official press bureau as having taken part in the naval engagement except the Bluecher, are battle cruisers, all heavily armed and capable of great The Bluecher, which was sunk, was an armored cruiser 489 feet long, with a displacement of 15,560 tons. Her complement was 885 officers and men. She was built at Kiel in 1908, at a coat of $6,500,000. Her speed was a little more than 28 knots an hour. The Bluecher carred 12 8.2 inch, eight 6-Inch guns and 16 24-pounders. She also was equipped with three torpedo tubes* The Derfflinger is a 28,000-ton ship which waa completed July 14, of last year.

Children can do their little play matee no conceivable good by visiting or staying near them when they are sick, and they run serious risk both of contracting the disease themselves and of spreading it to others of their playmates, is the assertion of a writer In Good Housekeeping Magarlne. In view of this I think we should realty hesitate about teaching this "visiting the sick and afflicted" fo:uv of altruism to children before they are of aa age to be able to make any practical application of it without involving themselves and the community In serious danger out of all proportion to any possible compensating return. We would not dream of teaching a child of seven that he should rush into-a burning building to empty the contents of his toy bucket anon the flames. Infinitely his most useful service is to spread the alarm, to shout at the top of his voice to the nearest grownup that he can find, to run and tell the policeman; or carry the word to the nearest fire station or firebox. So it should be with thono deadliest conflagrations which take toll of humanity—fever and pestilence. ~*r*erele Savers of Life.

"Ah, Judge Ostrander," she exclaimed in a hasty but not ungraceful greeting, "you are very punctual. I -was not looking for you yet." Then, «8 ehe noted the gloom under which he was laboring, she continued with Teal feeling, 'Indeed, I appreciate this sacrifice you have made to my wishes. It was asking a great deal of you to come here; but I saw no other way of making my point clear. Come oyer here, Peggy, and build me a little house out of these stones. Tou don't mind the child, do you. judge? She may offer a diversion if our retreat is invaded." The gesture of disavowal which he made was courteous but insincere. He did mind the child, but he could not explain why; besides, he must overcome such folly, "Now," she continued as she rejoined him on the place where he had taken his stand, "I will ask you to go hack with me to the hour when John Scoville left the tavern on that fatal day. I am not now on oath, hut I might as well be for any slip I shall make in the exact truth. I was making plea in the kitchen, when eome one came running in to say that Reuther had strayed away from the front yard. And here I found her, sir, right In the heart of these ruins. She playing with stones just as dear is doing now. Greatly relieved, I was taking her away when I thought I heard John calling. Stepping up to the edge'close behind where you are standing, ..sir—yes, there, where you set such a broad outlook up and down the ravine—I glanced in the direction from which I had heard his call—Just wait a momenV Wr~T~want to"know the exact time.'* Stopping, she pulled out her watch and looked at It; while he, faltering up to the verge which she had pointed out, followed her movements with strange intensity as she went on to say in explanation of her act: 'The time is important, on account of a certain demonstration I am anxious to make. Now if you will lean a little forward and look where I am pointing, you will notice at the turn of the stream a spot of ground more open than the rest Please keep your eyes on that spot, tor it was there X saw at this very hour twelve years ago the shadow of an approaching figure; and it is there yon win presently see one similar, if the hoy I have tried to interest in this experiment does not fail me.

But later,/when it was all over, when the disgrace of his death. and the necessity of seeking a home elsewhere drove me Into selling the tavern and all Its effects, I found something which, changed my mind in this regard, and made me confident that I had done my husband a great injustice." •*tou found? What do you mean by that?

I had seen the shadow of some other man approaching Dark Hollow, Whose, I am in this town now to find out." Judge Ostrander was a man of keen perception, quick to grasp an idea, quick to form an opinion. But his mind acted slowly tonight Deborah Scoville wondered at the blanknees of his gaze and the slow way in which he seemed to take In this astounding fact. s At last he found voice and with It gave some evidence of his usual acumen. "Madam, a shadow is an uncertain foundation on which to build such an edifice as you plan. A dosen men might have come down that path with or without sticks before Mr. Etheridge reached the bridge and fell a victim to the assault which laid him low." "I thought the time was pretty clearly settled by the hour he left your house. The sun had not set when he turned your corner on hie way home. 80 several people said who saw him. Besides—" "Yes; there is a 'besides.' I'm sure of it" *'I saw the tall figure of a man, whom I afterwards made sure was Mr. Etheridge, coming down Factory road on his way to the bridge when I turned about to get Reuther." "All of which you suppressed at the triat" T was not Questioned on this point sir." "Madam"—he was standing very near to her now, hemming her as It were into that decaying corner—-"I should have a very much higher opinion of your candor if you told me the whole story.*1 "I have, sir." His hands rose, one to the righthand wall, the other to the left and remained there with their palms resting heavily against the rotting plaster. She was more then ever hemmed in; hat though she felt a trifle frightened at his aspect which certainly was not usual, she faced him without shrinking and in very evident surprise. "It "seems too slight a fact to mention, and. indeed, I had forgotten it till yon pressed me, hot after we had passed the gates and were well out on the highway, I found that Reuther had left her little pall behind her here, and we came back and got i t Did yon mean that air?" "1 meant nothing; but I felt sure yon had not told all yon could about that fatal ten -minute*. Ton came hack. It is quite a walk from the road.

If you deny me aid and advice I shall eeek another counselor. John's name must be vindicated," He gave her a look, turned and glanced down at the child piling stone on stone and whimpering just a little when they tell. "Watch that baby for a while," he remarked, "and you will learn the lesson of most human endeavor. Madam, I have, a proposition to make you. Tou cannot wish to. remain at the inn, nor can yon be long happy separated from your daughter. I have lost Bela. I do not know how, nor would I be wiling, to replace him by another servant I need a housekeeper; some one devoted to my interests and who will not ask me to change my habits too materially.. Will you accept the position, it. I add as an inducement my desire to have Reuther also as an. inmate of my home? This does not mean that t countenance or in any way anticipate her union wKh my son. I do not; but any other advantages she may desire she shall have. I will not be strict with her." Deborah ScoviUe was never more taken aback in her life. The recluse opening his door* to two women! The man of mystery flinging aside the reticences of years to harbor an innocence which he refueed to let weigh against the claims of a son he had seen fit to banish from his heart and home! "You may take time to think of it," he continued, as he watched the confused emotions change from moment to moment the character of her moot bis hi plain night this gap!* I have no sweet, air and If 1 Mlf You Deny Me 1 Shall Seek Another Counsellor.* bile features. "I shall not have my affairs adjusted for such a change before a week. If you accept I shall be very grateful. If you decline I shall close up my two rear gates, and go into solitary seclusion. I can cook a.meal if I have to." And she saw that he would do it; saw and wondered still more. '1 shall have to write to Reuther," she murmured. 'How soon do you want my decision,?" -In four days." «1 am too disturbed to thank you, judge. Should—should we have to keep the gates locked?" "No. But you would have to keep out unwelcome Intruders. And the rights of my library win have to be respected. In an other regards I should wish, under these new circumeances, to Uve as other people live.

Over this letter Deborah Scoville sat for two hours, then she rang for Mrs. Yardley. The maid who answered her summons surveyed her in amazement. It was the first time that she had seen her uncovered face. Mrs. Yardley was not long In coming up. "Mrs. Averlll—" she began, In a kind of fluster, as Bhe met her strange guest's quiet eye. v But she got no further. That guest had a correction to make. *'My name is not Averill," she protested. "You must excuse the temporary deception. It is Scoville. I once ocupled your present position In thjte house." Mrs. Yardley had heard all about the Scovlllcs; and, while a flush rose to her cheeks, her eyes snapped with sudden interest "Ah!" came In quick exclamation, followed, however, by an apologetic cough and the somewhat forced and conventional remark: "You find the place changed, no doubt?" "Very much so, and for the better, Mrs. Yardley." Then, with a straightforward meeting of the other's eye, she quietly added, "I am going to live with Judge Ostrander, Mrs. Yardley— keep house for him, myself and daughter. His man is dead and he feels very helpless. I hope that I shall be able to make him comfortable.'' Mrs. Yardley'8 face was a study. In all her life she had never heard news that surprised her more. In another moment she had accepted the situation, like the very sensible woman she was, and Mrs. Scoville had the satisfaction of seeing the promise of real friendly support in the smile with which Mrs. Yardley remarked: "It's a good thing for you and a very good thing for the judge. It may shake him out of his habit of seclusion. If it does, you will be the city's benefactor. Good luck to you, madam. And you have a daughter, you say?" After Mrs. Yardley's departure Mrs. Scoville, as she now expected herself to be called, sat for a long time brooding. There was one thing more to be accomplished. She set about It that evening. Veiled, but in black now, she went into town. Getting down at the corner of Colburn avenue and Perry street, she walked a short distance on Perry, then rang the bell of an attractive- looking house of moderate dimensions. Being admitted, she asked to see Mr. Black, and for an hour sat in close conversation with him. Then she took a trolley car which carried her into the suburbs. When she alighted, it was unusually late for a woman to be out alone; but she had very little physical fear, and walked on steadily enough for a block or two till she came to a corner, where a high fence loomed forbiddingly between her and a house so dark that it was impossible' to distinguish between its chimneys and the encompassing trees. Was she quite alone in the seemingly quiet street? She could hear no one, see no one. A lamp burned In front of Miss Weeks' small house, but the road it illumined, the one running down to the ravine, showed only darkened houses. She had left the oorner and was pa*alrig the gate of the Ostrander homestead, when she heard, coming from some distant point within, a low and peculiar sound which held her immovable for a moment, then sect her on shuddering. It was the sound of hammering. Hearing this sound and locating it where she did. she remembered, with a quick inner disturbance, that the judge's house held a secret; a secret of such import to its owner that the dying Bela had sought to preserve it at the cost of his life. Oh, she had heard all about that! The gossip at Claymore inn had been great, and nothing had been spared her curiosity. There was something in this house which it behooved the judge to secrete from sight yet more completely before her own and Reuther's entrance, and he was at work upon it now, hammering with his own hand while other persons slept! No wonder she edged ber way along the fence with a shrinking, yet persistent, step. She was circling her future home and that bouse held a mystery. As she groped her way along, she had ample opportunity to beer again the intermitteet sounds of the hammer, and to note that they reached their maximum at a point where the ell of the judge's study approached the k - .•» 1 sicrcMETsr Gently cleanse your liver ant? sluggish bowels while you sleep.

The Texas Farmers* Union registered its opposition to this character of legislation at the last annual meeting held in Fort Worth, Tex., August 4, 1914, by resolution, which we quote, aa follows: "The matter of prime importance to the farmers of this state is an adequate and efficient marketing system; and we recognise that such a system la impossible without adequate railroad facilities, embracing the greatest amount of service at the least possible cost We further recognise that the farmers and producers In the end pay approximately 95 per cent of the expenses of operating the railroads, aad it ia therefore to the interest of the producers that the expenses of the common carriers be as small aa Is possible, consistent with good service and aafety.

The fanners of Missouri In the last election, by an overwhelming majority, swept this law off the statute book of that state, and it should come off of all statute books where it appears and no legislature of this nation should pass such a law or similar legislation which requires unnecessary expenditures. The same rule applies to all regulatory measures which increase the expenses of industry without giving corresponding benefits to the public- There is ofttimee a body of men assembled at legislatures—and they have a right to be there—who, in their seal for rendering their fellowassociates a service, sometimes favor an increase in the expenses of industry without due regard for the men who bow their backs to the summer's sun to meet the payroll, but these committees, while making a record for themselves, rub the skin off the shoulders of the farmer by urging the legislature to lay another burden upon his heavy load and under the lash of "be it enacted" goad bim ou to pull and surge at the traces of civil il The Parmer's Pay roil and How Meets It.

A portion of the amount is shifted to foreign countries in exports, but the total payroll of industries working for the farmer divides substantially as follows: Railroads, 114^52.000,000; manufacturers, $4,3*5,000,000; mining, $455,000,000; banks, $200,000,000; mercantile $3,500,000,000, and a heavy miscellaneous payroll constitutes the foam and gall at the task. When legislatures "cut a melon" for labor they hand the farmer a lemon. The farmers of the United States are not financially able to carry "dead heads" on their payrolls. Our own hired hands are not paid unleas we have something for them to do and we are not willing to carry the hired help of dependent Industries unless there is work for them. We must therefore insist upon the most rigid economy Legislative House-Cleaning Needed. While the war is on and there is a lull in business, we want all legislative bodies \o take an inventory of the statute books and wipe off all extravagant and useless laws. A good house-cleaning Is needed and economies can be instituted here and there that will patch the clothes of indigent children, rest tired mothers and lift mortgages from despondent homes.

Ia exsreestag its social interest, the modem rural church does not hesitate to claim that it is expressing a true religious ia* stinct aad the old-time idea that the social instincts should be starved while the spiritual nature waa overfed with solid theological food, is fast giving way to a broader Interpretation of the functions of true religion. We take our place in the succession of those who have sought to make the world a fit habitation for the children of man when we seek to study and understand the social duty of the rural church. The true christian religion is essentially social—its tenets of faith being love and brotherhood and fellowship. While following after righteousness, the church must challenge and seek to reform that social order in which moral life ia expressed. While cherishing ideals of service, the rural church which attains the fullest measure of success iB that which enriches as many lives aa It can touch, and in no way can the church come in as dose contact with its members as through the avenue of social functions. The country town and the rural community need a social center. The church need offer no apology for its ambition to fill this need In the community, if an understanding of its mission brings this purpose into clear consciousness. The structure of a rural community is exceedingly complex; it contains many social groups, each of which has Its own center, but there are many localities which have but one church and although such w \ V For Sale by Ayrault & Bollinger, Gregory, and Monks Bros, and W.

Social Needs Imperative. The average country boy and girl have very little opportunity for real enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a vague conception of the' meaning of pleasure and recreation. It is to fll) this void in the lives of country youth that the rural church has risen tc the necessity of providing entertain ment, as well as instruction, to its membership among the young. The children and young people of the church should meet when religion is not even mentioned. It has been7 found safest for them to meet frequently under the direction and care of the church. To send them into the world with no social training expose* them to grave perils and to try to keep them out of the world with no social privileges is sheer folly. There Is a social nature to both old and young, but the social requirements oi MU: It takes the corn crop, the moat valuable in agriculture, which sold mat year for $1,081,000,000, to pay off the employes of the railroads; the money derived from our annual sales of livestock of approximately $2,000,- 000,000, the yearly cotton crop, valued at $920,000,000; the wheat crop, which is worth $€10,000,000, and the oat crop, that is worth $440,000,000, are required to meet the annual payroll of the manufacturers.

In one way or another the social instincts of our young people must have opportunity for expression, which may take the form of clubs, parties, picnics or other forms of amusement One thing is certain, and that is that the church cannot take away the dance, the card party and the theatre unless It can offer In its place a satisfying substitute in the form of more pleasing recreation.

The witness told of striking miners in Colorado being shot down by militia, "In the pay of the Colorado Fuel ft Iron Co.", and of hundreds of persons being dumped Into the desert without fodd or water, while;* others were driven over the snow of the mountain ranges. "If any appearance of poverty clings to the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co., Mr. Lawson declared, "it is due tt> Us own stupidity and corrupt policy. Had it taken the money it has spent in controlling officials and electorate In purchasing machine guns, the employment of gunmen and in crushing the aspirations of human beings and spent it in wages and improvement of working conditions, they would have had rich returns." The manner in which the directing forces of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Co. "handed down power from man to man," Mr. Lawson characterizes as- "a chain that no individual can climb." The Rockefeller foundations investigation into industrial unrest, Mr. Lawson said, is to be coMucted by "Mackenzie King, an alien, whose chief contribution to the industrial problem is a law that prescribes a jail sentence for the worker who dares tp lay down his tools." Mr. Lawson announced that he appeared before the commission at his own request. When the miners heard that the Rockefeller foundation was to be investigated, he said, they thought they should let the public know that "every deduction from their pay envelopes, everything. they lost, went into the treasury of the Rockefeller foundation."

McGraw is charged with striking Mrs. Howard Pearson, while driving his automobile. McGraw demurred to the charge on the ground the city traffic ordinance conflicted with the state automobile law. The supreme""court held that the constitution gave cities a reasonable control of their streets and that the city had a right to pass a traffic ordinance. It said that all parts of the state law in conflict with this theory were unconstitutional and void. The decision means McGraw must stand trial. In part, Justice Kuhn's decision says: "In other words, the municipality retains reasonable control of its highways, which, as much control cannot be said to be unreasonable and inconsistent with regulations which have' been established, or may be established, by the state itself with reference thereto. T » - PERJURY CHARGES FAIL TO CONVICT DETECTIVES AND LAWYER FRANK CASE ARE FREED BY JURY. IN MINISTER IS THE ACCUSER Testifies That He Received Money to Swear That Negro Confessed to Murder of Mary Phagan. Atlanta, Ga.—Dan 8. Lehon, southern manager of the Burns detective agency; C. O. Tedder, a former policeman and later a Burns operative, and Arthur Thurman, a lawyer, were found not guilty by a Jury late Sunday of charges of subordination of perjury In connection with the' Leo M. Frank murder case. Specifically, the defendants were charged with having obtained false affidavits from Rev. C. B. Ragsdale and P. JL Barber; tending to prove James Conley, a Negro, guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan, an employe of the factory of which Frank was superintendent. Frank is under sentence of death, awaiting the result of bis appeal to the supreme court, and Conley is serving time for complicity. Ragsdale testified that he had received |200 for swearing to an affidavit to the effect that he had heard Conley tell another Negro that he, Conley, killed the girl, and that Frank had nothing to do with it. Ragsdale added that Lehon had offered him 110,000 "if the thing comes out ail right." * Barber testified that Thurman had offered him 1100 if he would sign an affidavit that he also had overheard the alleged conversation between Conley and the other Negro.

She saw that it would be left for her to wind ap the interview and get out of the place without arousing too much much attention. With a selfpossession which astonished both men, knowing her immense interest In this matter, she laid down the stick, and, with a gentle shrug of her shoulders, remarked in an easy tone: "Well, it's curious! The ins and outs of a crime, I mean. Such a discovery ten years after the event (I think you said ten years) is very interesting." Then she sighed: "Alas! it's too late to benefit the one whose life it might have saved. Mr. Black, shall we be going? I have spent a most entertaining quarter of an hour." Mr. Black glanced from her to the sergeant before he Joined her. Then, with one of his sour smiles directed towards the former, he said: "I wouldn't be talking about this, sergeant It will do no good, and may subject us to ridicule." The sergeant none too well pleased, nodded slightly. Seeing which, she spoke up: "I don't know about that, I should think it but proper reparation to the dead to let It be known that his own story of innceenee has received this late confirmation." But the lawyer continued to shake his head, with a very' sharp look at the sergeant If he could have his way he would have this matter stop just where it was. , _^ • • • • • • • • "This is my daughter, Judge Ostrander; Reuther, this is the judge." The. introduction took place at the outer gates whither the judge had gone to receive them. Reuther threw aside her veil and looked up into the face bent courteously towards her. It had no look of Oliver. They were fine eyes notwithstanding, piercing by nature, but just now misty with a feeling that took away all her fear. He was going to like her; she saw it in every trembling line of his 'countenance, and at the thought a smile rose to her lips. With a courteous gesture he invited them in, but stopping to lock one gate before leading them through the other, Mrs. Scoville had time tq observe that since her last visit with its accompanying inroad of the populace, the.two openings which at this point gave access to the walk between the fences had been closed up with boards so rude and dingy that they must have come from some old lumber pile in attic or cellar. The judge detected her looking at them. "I have' cut off my nightly promenade," said he. "With youth in the house, more cheerful habits must prevail. Tomorrow I shall have my lawn cut, and it I must walk after sundown I will walk there." The two women exchanged glances. Perhaps their gloomy anticipations were not going to be realized. But once within the house, the Judge showed embarrassment '1 have' few comforts to' offer," said he, opening a door at bis right and then hastily closing it again.

A week, and Deborah Scoville had evolved a home out of chaos. That is, within limits. She had not entered the judge's rooms, nor even offered to do so. Later, there must be a change. So particular a man as the judge would soon find himself too uncomfortable to endure the lack of those attentions which he had been used to in Bela's day. He had not even asked for clean sheets, and sometimes she had found herself wondering, with a strange shrinking of her heart if his bed was ever made, or whether he had not been driven at times to lie down in his clothes. She had some reason for these doubtful conclusions. In her raxnbllngs through the house she had come upon Bela's room. It was in a loft over the kitchen and she had been much amazed at its condition. In some respects it looked as decent as she could expect, but in the matter of bed and bed clothes ft presented an aspect somewhat startling. The clothes were there, tossed in a heap on the floor, but there was no bed in sight nor anything which could have served as such. It had been dragged out Evidences of this were everywhere on the narrow, twisted staircase. A smile, half pitiful, half self-scornful, curved her lips es ehe remembered the rattettet she had heard on that, dismal night when she clung listening to the fence, and wondered now if it had not been the bumping of this cot sliding from step to step. Bnt no! the repeated stroke of a hammer is unmistakable. He had played the carpenter that night as wen as the mover, and with no visible results.' Mystery etm reigned in the house for all the charm and order she had brought Into It; a mystery which deeply interested her, aad which she yet hoped to solve, notwithstanding its remoteness from the real problem of her existence.

He was driving to tee Smsbury markets with a load of produce, and was passing through dense woods when he felt a heavy body land on bis wagon, followed by spitting and "meowing" that were hideous. Looking back, he saw two big balls of fire, the eyes of the largest catamount he bad ever seen. It mas pawing at the canvas cover he had over his load. With a revolver, the frightened farmer fired twice. At the discharge of the weapon the eat jumped and escaped in the darkaesa, M e n he arrived at the market two fat dressed chickens were missing.

QUIT MEAT IF KIDNEYS BOTHER AND USE SALTS *&. m T»k* a Glass of Oalts Before Breakfast If Your Back is Hurting or Bladder Is Irritated. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted authority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyses the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become aluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a duQ misery in the kidney region, sharp bains in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue fs coated and when the weather iB bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sediment, the channels often get sore and irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. , To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body's urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any pharmacy here; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water be fore-breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acids of grapes .and lemon juice, combined with llthia, and has been used for generations to flush and Stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder weakness.

I bare endeavored to arouse 1¾ your minds a feeling of dismay at the Oioua&tot what yonbay*bees doing fn sending yc^r money to the mall order houses instead of apendtog your d ^ lam at homeland thereby helping your looal communities to prosper. tat unreetricted. terms I have charactertied the folly of helping big co^ porationa to profit at the expense of your local merchants. I have tried to show?ou the criminality, against yourself, your townspeople and your descendants, of scorning the prosperity of your own communities and deliberately working against the interests of your own towns by sending your funds to the city. I hare depicted the foolishness of buying from mall order houses when you can Obtain just as good or better merchandUe from your own local merchants and I have exposed the methods In vogue in at least one mail order concern. These articles have been addressed to those of you who live in the smaller communities and la the country— where you are compelled to rely on individual honesty among yourselves rather than on the pledges of men who do business with brass bands and "pages of newspaper advertising. Experience is the greatest and the best teacher and my experience has taught me that It is preferable to transact business with a man personally known, rather than with an undeflnable conoern without identity except as a corporation. In the big cities we are compelled to deal wholly with the latter, while in the smaller cities and towns you can meet the former face to face and do your business direct In buying and selling there is no dealer or merchant that does not know that the crooked deals come home to roost—therefore it is the better part yof discretion, as well as simple honesty, to give full value to a customer. The dealer In the small town cannot hide behind a corporate name or conceal himself In a private office from the customer who has been fooled. He must face the music in case be transgresses, and" he realizes that he must satisfy his customers or he will 4ose them. Honesty is bred in small commanities and le-fostered, while in large cities it is only too often lost sight of because, of the immunity that comes with-not Taeetmg the customer ia person. Clerks and other employees bear the burden of reproach and the "man Itstjsf gp" meet a* •YBsMMfiBi W m*' teas* of mail o r d e r M s p s s l l l ' case* of a complaint from a caltessfr the correspondent as a rule merely indicates a certain form letter. But In your own home town your merchant meets you face to face and he is always on the job. He can s* ways be found at his place of business and In ease of a complaint he is right there to see that yon are satisfied before yoa leave Us store. He wants to please yoa and he will try, sincerely, to Please yoa. He wants to bold your castom. ' Now isn't this a much better way to deal than to sead year money away to tin city? Isn't it much better, to deal with a mas in your own comma* nityvand pay him your money, rather send it away to the big mail order Jwase in the city, where it Ss treated^xajsUy tfke so many thousands of other- orders?

Why not let him do this ?or you? He is responsible. He will do the business in a satisfactory manner and probably give better service and more satisfactory treatment—probably a better value for you. /Live and let live is the motto that makes ths worV&jso around smoothly and peacefully tneo far as we mortals are concerned. l*et your local merchant live, by giving him the opportunity to make a dollar now and then, and yoa will be much better pleased with yourself as well as much more satisfied with some»of your purchases; Your local merchant is loyal—be and your local newspaper. Both occupy places that you cannot fill by any service through a mall of&er house, Think how you will miss them if you lose them. Of course they are so patient and BO apparent that you forget about them. You accept them as a matter of course, but, my good* ness, how you will, miss them if you find that you must do without them. > But it is such advantages as these that we are. all of us. inclined to fall to appreciate without having our at* tention called especially to them. But we ^must remember, ±e mail order houses have the merchants In the Bmall towns by the throat. They are waging a fierce battle for the supremacy, if the mall order houses win out it will mean the elimination of practically all of the country dealers and small town merchants. And when this happens you will find conditions much different Yon will then, when it is too late, discover the great value to you and the Inestimable convenience of having a merchant near by who can supply your wants without delay. But the mail order house sweeps on and on. It is grabbing up the dollars with increasing voracity. It is grinding the; country merchant down and down until he can hardly make a vigorous struggle for existence. I believe that these conditions can be helped, even if not wholly removed and done away with. I believe that there is a remedy for these conditions—a remedy that can be applied in every community, with success. It would mean a fight—a struggle that would cost some time and some work, but it would bring back the dollars to the country store. That It would be a success I am confident That It would win the battle for the country merchants, against the mall order houses, I feel sure. The fact is, right now, that the big city Is growing bigger and bigger year by year, while the small town Is growing less prosperous. It's the work of the mail-order concerns. They are milking the dollars away from home all the time. Stop it—that's the only way. Keep your money at home. That's the only remedy. Think it over.

The merchant, the manu. facturer, tbe miner, the miller, ^ e lumberman and the cattleman h%ye had their traffic bureaus thoroughly organised and in many instances they have pursued the railroad witfe^ mercy and with the power wf org^B.

A glance ^ the freight tariffs abundantly prcv^fi this assertion.

A Neat Bank The little town of Gregory just west of this village possesses perhaps the best bank building and fixtures for a town of its size in the state. Even the bank frontage breathes prosperity be- j Wg built of a specially prepared stone resembling white marble. The interior walls are finished in oak paneling and soft toned frescoing. The counters and other fixtures are built of quarter-sawed oak giving an unusual solid j appearence, which is further carried out by safty-deposit boxes, a screw-door safe and a huge safety vault, the dimensions of which measure 9 ft. square. This vault has solid cement foundations with a tile finish and is absolutely fire and burglar proof. F. A. Howlett, the proprietor of this compact little bank, is a conservative business man and during the years he has spent in Gregory has built up not only a large banking business, but has at the same time won the confidence and good will of a large circle of people throughout the country.

RTMHT HEIRS ARE LOSERS Charges That Aged Capitalist Wat Unduly Influenced By Port Huron Relatives Not Sua- * cessful. F*rt Huroftr-Tbe jury In the Robert Walsh will contest which retired at 6:15 Friday afternoon. Drought In a verdict shortly before 9 o'clock Friday night sustaining the will. This means that the Port Huron heirs, who were named as the largest beneficiaries, will receive the bulk of the estate. It is probable, however, that the case will be appealed. The contest over the will of the late Robert Walsh was begun in the circuit court before Judge E. F. Law, on December 7. Fifty witnesses have been called to the stand and the case will go into the records as one of the most bitterly contested in the history of the St. Clair county circuit court. Robert Walsh was the largest property owner in Port Huron and his brother, Patrick Walsh, of Detroit, now dead, also owned a great deal of business property here, which is now held by his estate. When Robert Walsh died in February, in 1914, he left an estate which was thought to have been worth close to a million, but which was appraised at about 1600,000. Robert Walsh left a will in 1398 in which he bequeathed the bulk of his estate to the Port Huron heirs, who are the children of his other brother, Thomas Walsh, also dead, and who resided in Port Huron. "• The total amount bequeathed to the Detroit heirs totals about 116,000. They brought suit to have the will s«t aside, alleging that undue influence was used on the part of the Port Huron heirs, and that Robert Walsh was suffering from senile dementia at the time the wtU was drawn and consequently he was not competent to draw a wfll and properly dispose of mis property. It developed during the trial that the first Walsh will had been drawn by the late O'Brien J. Atkinson and that in 1898 Mr. Walsh had John L. Black, now mayor of Port Huron, draw a second will which was copied from the Atkinson will with some minor changes. Two copies of this will were made, but only one was found and this is the one which was offered for probata and on which the contest was based. There was no evidence to show thai the other cop>-had been destroyed by Mr. Walsh. It was the contention of the Detroit heirs that they had been discriminated against and testimony introduced Indicated that there was bitter feeling between the Port Huron and the Detroit heirs.

London—It is claimed that it was at the command of the British admiralty that the Cunard liner Luaitania hauled down her British ensign and hoisted the Stars and Stripes in the Irish sea Saturday, according to developments Sunday. This information ~Ts contained in the following dispatch issued lata Sunday night by the press association under a Birmingham date. "Passengers from the Lusitania who arrived here Sunday state that when off the coast of Ireland the Lusitania received a wireless message from the admiralty that it was. to hoist the American sag. it did so and sailed under that flag to Liverpoo]." This announcement followed a statement by the foreign office justifying British merchantmen in using a foreign flag as a ruse to .escape capture by a belligerent and declaring It is no violation of international law to resort to such a rase. i No Protest Is Likely. Washington—It is very much doubted if the state department will take any action in the Lusitania matter beyond an inquiry as to the truth published reports and possibly a request for information as to what connection, if any. the British government had with the matter, or possible similar uses of the American flag in the future. It was made clear that the United States had no municipal law on the subject and there is no international law affording the basis for action in the present cirenmetance. Officials point out that this government will have no basis for protest to anybody unless congress sees fit to pans a law praacrfijing s penalty for rahins touching at American ports using the American flag without proper authority. It is said that there Is a general disposition to excuse the flying of a neutral flag by a merchantman for the purpose of avoiding capture of diatructlon at the hands of the enemy. Such use of a neutral flag does not, of course, entitle the vessel to any protection from the government the flag of which is so used and the vessel is likely to suffer more severely if her deception is discovered by the enemy. Will Not Seize Grain. Berlin, by wireless to Sayville, L. L —Positive assurance that grain imported from American will not be used for the German army or the German administration, were given by Vice-Chancellor Clemens Delbruech, in a statement Sunday to the correspondent of the Associated Press. He declared'the regulations under which imported grain was subject to sale only to municipalities of the grain monopoly organisation had 1-eea revoked by the bundeeratn, and announced the willingness of the gwvernment to entrust the sale of such grain to American organisations for the duration of the war. By this step, he said, the absolutely non-contraband character of such grain shipments would be established. TELEGRAPHIC FLASHES Little Rook, Ark.—Gov O. W.

Was her own uneasiness infectious? Was the child determined to share ner vigil? 8he would wait a little longer this time and see. Their rooms were over the parlor, and thus as far removed as possible from the judge's den. In her own, which was front, she felt at perfect ease, and it was without any fear of disturbing either him or Reuther that she finally raised her window and allowed the cool wind to soothe her heated cheeks. The moon emerged from scurrying clouds as she quietly watched the scene. Perched, as she- was, in a window overlooking the lane, she had but to mm jjsjr eyes from the double fence Symbol of sad seclusion) to light trees rising above that unspeak- •ravine, black with memories she felt strangely like forgetting tonight beyond . . . how it stood out on the bluff 1 it had never seemed to stand out more threateningly! . . . the bifurcated mass of dismal ruin from which men had turned their eyes these many years now! But the moon Wed it; caressed it; dallied with It, lighting up its toppling chimney and empty, staring gable. :' Spencer's Folly! Well, it had been that, and Spencer's den of dissipation, too! There were great tales—but it was not of these she was thinking, but of the night of storm—(of the greatest storm of which any record remained in Shelby) when the .wind tore down branches and toppled down chimneys j -when cattle were smitten in the field and men on the highway; and the bluff towering overhead, flared into flame,' and the house which was its glory was smitten apart by the descending bolt as by a Titan sword, and blazed like a beacon to the sky. This war Jong before she- herself bad come to Shelby; bat she bad been told the story >s© often that it was Quite vivid to her. The family bad been gone for months, and so no pity mingled with the excitement Not tOS ^ following day did the awful nature _ _ m_ it: tbe event break in its futi borrorj done.** upon tbe town. Among, the ruins, in 4 closet which the flames bad spared, they found hunched up in one corner tbe body of a man. In whoso seared throat a wound appeared which had kot been made by lightning or fire, Spencer! Spencer himself, returned, 4hey knew ntt-how, to die of this selfinflicted wound, in the dark corner of bis grand hot neglected dwelling. But as she continued to survey it the clouds earns trooping n* on$e mora, and tko vision was- wipe* euV and with it eti memos** save these of * The task was one she had long desired to perform. Giving Reuther the rest of,the work to do, she presently appeared before him with pail and broom and a pile of fresh linen. Nothing more commonplace could be imagined,- but to her, if not to him, there underlay this special act of ordinary housewifery a possible enlightenment on a subject which had held the whole community In a state of curiosity for years. She was going to enter the room which had been barred from public sight by poor Bela's dying body. The great room before her presented a bare floor, whereas on her first visit it had been very decently, if not carefully, covered by a huge carpet rug, The judge's chair, which had once looked immovable, had been dragged forward into such a position that he could keep his own eye on the bedroom door. Manifestly ehe was not to be allowed to pursue her duties unwatched. Certainly she had to take more than one look at the every-day implements she carried to retain that balance of judgment which should prevent her from becoming the dupe of her 6wn expectations. "I do not expect you to clean up here as thoroughly as you have your own rooms upstairs," he remarked, as she passed him. "And, Mrs. Scoville/' he called out as she slipped through the doorway, "leave the door open and keep away as much as posslblawfrom the side of the room where I have nailed up the curtain. I had rather not have thai touched." Not touch the curtain! Why, that was the one thing In the room she wanted to touch; for In It she not only saw the carpet which had been taken up from the floor, but a possible screen behind which anything might lurk—even his redoubtable secret "There is no window," she observed, looking back at the judge. "No," was his short reply. Slowly she set down her pall. One thing was settled. It was Bela's cot she saw before her—a cot without any sheets. These had been left behind In the dead negro's room, and the judge had been sleeping just as she had feared, wrapped in a rug and with uncovered pillow. This pillow was his own; it had not been brought down with the bed. She hastily slipped a cover on it and without calling any further attention to her- act began to make up the bed. Conscious that the papers he made a feint of reading were but a cover for hie watchfulness, she moved about in a matter-of-fact way and did not spare him the clouds of dust which presently roee before her broom. But the judge was impervious to discomfort He coughed and shook his head, but did not budge an inch. Before she had begun to put things In order the clock struck the half-hour. "Oh!" she protested, with a pleading glance bis way, "I'm not half nearer troeole—a mere prosttn* no-'picture sad There's another day to follow," he remarked, rising and taking a key from bis pocket r The act expressed his wishes; and be was proceeding to carry out her things when a Quick, sliding noise from the wan she was passing drew her attention and caused her to spring forward in an involuntary effort to catch a picture whieh had slipped its Cord and Was failing to the floor. A shout from the judge of "Stand aside, let me come!" reached her too late, She, had grasped and lifted the of black painted directly across tbe eyes. In recalling this startling moment Deborah wondered as much at her own aplomb as at that of Judge Ostran* der. Not only had she succeeded in suppressing all recognition of what had thus been discovered to her, but had carried her powers of self-repression so far as to offer, and with good grace, too, to assist him in rehghging the picture. This perfection of acting had Its full reward. With equal composure he excused her from the task, and, adding some expression of regret at his well-known carelessness in not looking better after his effects, bowed her from the room with only a slight increase of his usual courteous reserve. But later, when thought came and with It certain recollections, what significance the Incident acquired in her mind, and what a long line of terrors it brought in its train! It was no casual act this defacing of a eon's well-loved features. It ball a meaning—a dark and desperate meaning. It had played its heavy part In his long torment—a galling reminder dt—what? It was to answer this question—to face this new view of Oliver and the bearing it had on the relations she had hoped to establish between him and Reuther, that she had waited for the house to be silent and her child asleep. Unhappy mother, just as she.saw something like a prospect of releasing her long-dead husband from the odium of an unjust sentence, to be shaken by this new doubt as to the story and character of the man for whose union with her beloved child she wae so anxiously struggling! There was a room on this upper floor into which neither she nor Reuther had even stepped. She had once looked in, but that was all. Tonight— because she could not sleep; because she must not think—she was resolved to enter It Oliver's room! the Claymore inn when that inn was simply a tavern. Then she found herself looking into a drawer half drawn out and filled with all sorts of heterogeneous articles— sealing wax, a roll of pins, a penholder, a kBitO-ft £&&! 7 ¾ should ehe recoil again ai iaat" Nothing could be more ordinary than to find a knife in the desk drawer of a young man! The fact was not worth a thought; yet before she knew it her fingers were creeping towards this knife, had picked it up from among the other scattered articles, had closed upon it, let it drop again, only to seize hold of it yet more determinedly and carry it straight to the light The knife was lying open on her palm, and from one of the blades the end had been nipped, just enough of it to match— Was she mad! She thought so for a moment; then ehe laid down the knife close against the cap and contemplated them both for more minutes than she ever reckoned. The candle fluttering low in its socket roused her at last from her ah straction. Catching up the two articles which had so enthralled her, she restored the one to the closet, the other to the drawer, and, with swift but silent step, regained her own room, where she burled her head in her pillow, weeping and praying until the morning light, breaking in upon her grief, awoke her <£ the obligations of her position and the necessity of silence concerning all the experiences of this night.

The father had laid no restrictions upon her, in giving her this floor for her use. Rights which he ignored she could afford to appropriate. Dressing sufficiently for wermth, she lit a candle, put out the light in her own room and started down the ball to this long-closed room. A smother of dust—an odor of decay— a lack of all order in the room's arrangements and furnish fugs even a general disarray, hallowed, if not affected, by time—for all this she was prepared. But not for the wild confusion— the Inconceivable litter and all the other signs she saw about her of a boy's mad packing and reckless departure. There was an inner door, and this some impulse drove her to open. A small closet stood revealed, empty but for one article. When she saw this article she gave a great gasp; than oho uttered a low pshaw! and with a shrug of the shoulders drew back and flung to the door. But she It again. She had to.

Yet, after a few days, the constant self-restraint which it entailed ate like a canker into her peace and undermined a strength which she had always considered Inexhaustible. Reuther began to notice her pallor, and the judge to look, grave. She was forced to complain of a cold (and In this ehe was truthful enough) to account for her alternations of feverish impulse and deadly lassitude. The trouble she had suppressed was having its quiet revenge. Wes there no medium course? Could she not learn where Oliver had been on the night of that old-time murder? Miss Weeks was a near neighbor and saw everything. Miss Weeks never forgot; to Miss Weeks she would go. She had passed the first gate and was on the point of opening the second one, when she saw on the walk before her a small slip of brown paper. Lifting it, she perceived upon it an almost illegible scrawl which she made out to read thus: For Mrs. Scoville: Do not go wandering all over the town for clues. Look closer to home. And below: Tou remember the old saying about jumping from the frying* pan Into the Are. Let your daughter be warned. It Is better to be singed than consumed. Because Deborah's mind was quick it all flaefred upon her, bowing her in spirit to the ground. Reuther had been singed by the knowledge of her father's ignominy, she would be consumed if inquiry were carried further and this Ignominy transferred to the proper culprit. Oliver alone could be meant. The doubts she bad tried to suppress from her own mind were shared by others—others! In five minutes she was crossing the road, her face composed, her manner genial, her tongue ready for any encounter. The truth must be hers at all hazards. If it could.be found here, then here would she seek it Her long straggle with fate had brought to the fore every latent power she possessed. Miss Weeks was ready with her greeting. A dog from the big house across the way would have been welcomed there. The eager little seamstress had never forgotten her hour In the library with the half-unconscious judge. "Mrs. Scoville 1" she exclaimed, fluttering and leading the way into the best room; "how very kind you are to give me this chance for making my apologies. You know we have met before." "Have we?" Mrs. Scoville did not remember, but she smiled her best smile. 1 am glad to have you acknowledge an old acquaintance. It makes me feel less lonely in my new life." "Mrs. Scoville, I am only too nappy.** It was bravely said, for the little woman was in a state of marked embsrrassment Could It be that the viattor had not recognised her as the person who had accosted her on that memorable morning she flrst entered Judge OstraadcT's forbidden gates? (TO BS OONTOrDBD.) t* Although Canada's real start in national development as pointed out by the Buffalo Commercial, came slowly and late, as compared with that of the United-States, It is now well under way, and very soon there will be a marvelous expansion In agriculture, mining and manufacturing. The paper above mentioned says that "heretofore the development of Canada, like that of the United States, has been Westward, but unlike this country, the Dominion has a great territory to the North, which has been regarded as all but uninhabitable, but In which recent research has proven there are possibilities for development almost inconceivable." After making complimentary reference to the resources of the country tributary to the Hudson Bay, which will be opened up when the railroad now under construction 1B completed, the Commercial further says "there are those living today who will see our neighbor on the north a great and powerful nation, and a not insignificant industrial and commercial rival of the United States. The war may retard, but it cannot destroy, Canada's future. And in this expansion no one will more heartily rejoice than the people of the United States, because the prosperity of the^ Dominion is bound to Increase our own." Herein is the spirit that dominates the Dominion Government when it extends an Invitation to Americans to assist in developing the resources that Canada possesses, whether they be mineral, forest, Industrial, commercial or agriculture. Both countries will benefit, and the United States will be a gainer by having as a neighbor a country whose resources are as great and varied as are those of Canada. In comparing the United States along with other nations of the world in producing and Importing foodstuffs, the Agricultural Outlook published by the United States department of agriculture says: The United States In recent years has been as large an Importer of foodstuffs as exporter; therefore she cannot be classed as a surplus producer of foodstuffs. This is contrary to popular impression. It is true that she Is an exporter of certain articles, but she is an equally large Importer of other articles... In this classification tea and coffee are included with foodstuffs. In edible grains the production 1Q 23 per cent more than the amount retained; the production of meats Is six per cent more—that Is, exports of meat equal six per cent of that retained In the United States for consumption; the production of dairy products is 20 per cent more than consumed; the production of poultry is Just about equal to consumption; of vegetables, one per cent less. An Investigation into the production, imports and exports of food products of various countries indicates that England produces about 53 per cent of her food requirements, and imports (net) about 47 per cent; Belgium produces 57 per cent, and imports 43 per cent; Germany produces 88 per cent, and imports 12 per cent; France produces 92 per cent, and imports eight per cent; Austria-Hungary produces 98 per cent, and imports two per cent; Russia produces 110 per cent of her requirements, and exports an equivalent of about 10 per cent; Canada produces 23 per cent more than she consumes; Argentina produces 48 per cent more than she consumes; the United States produces practically no more than she consumes (i. e., exports and imports of foodstuffs almost balance). With this information before tbe reader, it Is not a difficult matter to direct attention to the fact that Canada stands In a pre-eminent position in the matter of grain and cattle production, and with a large territory yet unoccupied she will always main* tain it—Advertisement t & \3 t «S Outside the Pen.

K-' >..-.-.: .•• A N Incident extraordinary in Its curious significance occurred in the White House on April 14, 1866—Just 60 years ago. On that day President Lincoln told his personal bodyguard, William H. Crook, that he had dreamed of his impending assassination during three successive nights—those of April 11, April 12 and April 13. In recalling the occurrence Colonel Crook said he had never forgotten the shock which these words caused. "After the first shock caused by Mr Lincoln's words," said Colonel Crook, "my natural impulse was to make light of the affair, l was thea» a young man, strong, accustomed to daSi with practical matters and not inclined to place much importance on the intangible and mysterious. But now, 50 years after-, ward, I am willing to admit that Mr.' Lincoln's remark made me very uneasy. For one thing, the whole country was strained, anxious, distraught, notwithstanding the belief that hostilities soon were to end with a complete victory for the Union. "Much had been said and suggested about the possibility of the presidents assassination. As his personal bodyguard this possibility was always in my mind; and every moment when on duty I was constantly on the lookout for some sudden attack. It waa my business to see that Mr. Lincoln did not expose himself needlessly; and especially to see that no stranger approached him- with hands covered or concealed in any way. "When Mr. Lincoln told me that for the third successive time he had dreamed of being assassinated I said that in" my judgment farther and unusual measures should be undertaken .without an hour's delay for his protection. He looked at me in silence for a moment, a kindly smile in bis great, tired eyes, and then slowly shook his head. " Wo,' he said. If anybody is wicked enough to want to kill me we can do nothing to prevent it' •Possibly that is true, Mr. President/ I made bold to answer with ail respect, *stm the very knowledge of the feet makes me all the more anxious.'' - 'WelL Crook, wast do yea want to dor he said, tolerantly, so as not to hurt my feelings.

"finally I urged him to let me stay am dsty sad aesssaaaay him to the \ bat he weald aot hear of fUs " 'Good-by. Crook.' And he went into his own room, leaving me standing there in the corridor. "As tbe door closed after him his final words repeated themselves* to me, seeming to echo over and over again. What he had said was, Good by, Crook/ It was the first time he had ever used the words. Invariably when we parted for the night, he toseek rest in his own room, leaving me to pace up and down that corridor outi. 7>^ jK&Gc+uea * *? uTisyweyvV""*"* .Ide the president', apartment oc the J »'"«d ™ " 2 ^ ^ V J ?

"As I .turned to leave for my own little home, there to get what sleep 1 could, I wondered if Mr. Lincoln's.final words meant anything. By the time I had walked through-the White House grounds I tried to put them away aa being of no importance whatever. I tried to pull myself together, remembering that for a long time there had been widespread fears lest some murderer should succeed in getting near Mr. Lincoln. Of course, he knew of such fears and' possibly this knowledge had In some way recurred to him while asleep and had caused the thrice repeated dream. "It was not long after I bad left the White House for my own home on that fourteenth of April, 1865, when Mr. Lincoln started for Ford's theater. Within a few hours the world knew of the awful deed accomplished there. But the world did not know until aft* erward, in fact, the world at large may not know today, Just how Wilkes Booth was enabled to rush into the box where sat the president and* shoot him to death, although the Incident is mentioned in a volume of reooUeotions which I have prepared with a colleague, "The president's box, occupied by Mr. Lincoln's party that evening, waa not on a level with the stage. It was what would now be termed a box in the second tier and on a level with, guard realised afterward his own-pat in the tragedy he was so overwhelmed by remorse that he died of Its effects/' He who has revealed this chapter ot history connected with Lincoln's assassination is now a man of seventysix, who hss occupied a responsible position in the White House during all the administrations that have come and gone since he first was called there to serve Lincoln nearly half a century ago. He had spent nearly all his boyhood and youth in a small village in Maryland and after serving two years in the Union army had obtained an appointment to the Washington police force, with which he was -connected when called updb to act as Lincoln's bodyguard. It was on Thursday, January 5,1**5, that young Crook was in his home, near First and M streets, N. W„ oft duty and resting, when a fellow member of the police force called and asked to see him. Crook went to the door and wss told to report personally to President Lincoln at the White House, and to be there at precisely eight o'clock that same evening. "Of course I was surprised" said Colonel Crook, in speaking of the occurrence. "Shortly before eight o'clock that evening I walked from my home to the White House, went directly upstairs to the presWeaf * office sad told the door* keeper Just outside that I had been ordered to report to the president personally. He at once threw opes the door and 1 walked in. It waa then exactly eight o'clock, and there tor the A RICH MAN]S ROMANCE.

Mark Twain once wrote of the place, "It is heaven, but hell to get there." For many years England used the Islands, for a convict eolony, but as the misuse of such a beautiful spot became apparent, the idea was abandoned, and as many of the convicts who chose to remain were granted pardons, and portions of land allotted to each one with which to make a fresh start, many of their descendants still own and cultivate .extensive lily and onion farms. - Today one can ride for miles along the country roads between fields «f pure white flowers, growing in such profusion (especially during April when the blossoms are at their best) that the ground is not visible—just masses of white and green. There are over two hundred farms, some of which are 30 to 40 acres, devoted exclusively to lily growing. Both tourists and natrves grow very tired of the heavy perfume of the flowers, which is often noticeable a mile away. The fragrance of a bunch of lilies, delicately scenting a room or church, is very different from the overpower' ing perfume exhaled from a large lily farm. There can be too much of a good, thing; for the odor of the onion, still raised there to some extent, often brings a welcome change. The natives are quite resigned to the heavy perfume, knowing that, acre for acre, growing the lily is three or four times as profitable as raising onions, potatoes^cr fruit It is bettered that lily bulbs were first brought- to - this country from Japan, by a maa named Harris, to which ooumtry they had been brought from their ancient native home, China.

Two men who sold Christmas toys in New'street stood at the rear of the stock exchange. One of them was devoting painful attention to the financial page of a morning newspaper. ~ "What are you looking for, Yustln?" asked his companion. "For a stock that sells for 50," Yustln replied. "Why do you want that?" "I sold a loafer of a broker, one of my mechanical dogs on Thursday an' he gave me a plugged half dollar. I know the feller. Now 1 will smartly buy a stock for 50 from him an' give him hack his bad money." "But suppose, YuBtin, he gives you a bum stock? You know them brokers." "Then we will be quits. 'Cause I sold him a bum dog." Yustin is a man of promise. He should stay In New street and establish there a class to teach his particular brand of high finance.—New York Evening Post An Unpleasant Subject.

He saw Kern first "I've read about you and followed you ever since you have been in public life," said the Elmwood man. "I've taken my political pabulum from you all these years. I've voted fpr you every time I had the chance. Will you lend me a dollar?- He got it The next day, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer's Washington correspondent, Kern came on the scene Just as Shively was leaving the Elmwood man. "Who is that?" inquired Kern. "Oh, a constituent of mine from Elmwood. "He's been a follower of mine throughout my political career and he voted for me whenever he bad tbe chance." "How much did* he borrow?" was Kern's -cruel query. "Fifty cents," replied Shively, with a slight upward turn of the eyebrows. "Well," drawled Kern, "that fellow is smarter than I thought he was. He can tell the difference between a dollar senator and a fifty-cent one." Forest Fires Destroy Millions.

Her graces and her power are the cumulative products of generations of queenly conquest, and her crown of exalted womanhood Is jeweled with the wisdom of saintly mothers. She hat been a great factor In the glory of our country, and her noble achievements should not be marred or her hallowed influence blighted by the coarser duties of citizenship.
