MARINE COMMANDERS HAVE RECEIVED ORDERS. WON OUT ON HIS SUBMARINE POLICY GOES INTO EFFECT TUESDAY Armed Ships Are Not Peaceful Traders, and Are Subject to Destruction Without Warning. ton t* % » & Washington—Germany has instructed Count van Bernstorff to inform the United States government that the assurances regarding the future conduct of submarine warfare given in the Lusitania and Arabic cases still are binding, but that they apply only to merchantmen of peaceful character. The German government is understood to contend that armed merchantmen, without regard to the nature of their armament have shown themselves not to be peaceful, and therefore are subject to destruction without warning. The instruction direct the German ambassador particularly to tell Secretary Lansing that British merchantmen armed ostensibly only for defense have not assumed the character of peaceful traders, but that on the contrary they carry gums for the especial purpose of attacking German submarines. To support this claim the Berlin foreign office has sent the ambassador for presentation to the state department, a list of at least 20 incidents where it is claimed British merchant ships have attacked submarines. Confidential advices received from Berlin state that German and Austrian submarine commanders have already been given their new orders and that from midnight Tuesday, they will be authorized to sink without J warning all armed merchant ships of the enemies of Germany.

ITEMS OF STATE INTEREST Lansing—Characterized by elaborate and colorful decorations, gorgeous gowns and beautiful women, the annual "J" hop given by the junior ctaas of the Michigan Agricultural college, was held in Masonic temple here Friday night. This was in distinct contrast to the simplicity of the cotton party a year ago. Favors for the men were black ailk Waldemar chains, bearing the M. A. C. monogram iu silver, and the ladles were given silver vanity cases engraved with their initials. A 12-piece orchestra from Detroit furnished the music. Miss Florence Walsh, of Buffalo, N. Y., and C. C. Hood, president of the Junior class, led the grand march. Patrons of the evening included Gov. ernor and Mrs. W. N. Ferris and acting President and Mrs. F. S. Kediie, of M. A. C. The decorations were done in pink and green, banks of flowers and greenery being used to work out the color scheme. At intervals on the dance floor were half columns supporting small statues, which held In each hand illuminated rose globes and represented "The Spirit of the Dance." From the ceiling were suspended inverted floral domes, festooned with pink Japanese roping, in the dining-room red-shaded candles and red tulips formed the foundation of the decorations. Dover—The-steamship Maloja, a 12,- 431-ton vessel belonging to the Peninsular & Oriental line, struck a mine and sank within half an hour two miles off Dover. More than 40 persons were drowned or killed as a result of the accident. The bodiets landed from the Maloja include 18 men, 11 women and four children, in addition to 11 Lascars. Among the dead is Mrs. Mc- Leod, wife of General McLeod. The left Tilbury for Bombay, with mail, 119 passengers of all classes aboard and a crew numbering about 200. most of them Lascars. Other passengers were to join the ship at Marseilles. The steamer had juat passed Admiralty j>ier at Dover and was-, opposite Shakespeare cliff, when an explosion shook her from end to end. She listed immediately to port. High seas were running and the captain, realizing that great damage had been done to the after part of his vessel, tried to run her aground, but the engine room was swamped and the ship became unmanagaeable. The plight of the vessel was observed and dozens of craft went at full speed to her rescue. One of them, the British tanker Empress, of Fort William, of 2,181 tons, struck another mine and sank nearby. Aboard the Maloja everything possible was done to get the passengers and crew off. All the boats had already been swung out before she struck, as a precaution against accident, and all those aboard had sufficient time to put on lifeboats, instruction in the use of which had been given the pervious evening. lump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Telia why everyone should drink hot water each morning before breakfast. THE CRUISE OF OSCAR II AMBASSADOR TO MEXICO Said to Have Coat Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. Detroit—The peace expedition sent to Europe on board the Oscar II. cost Henry Ford $400,000, according to Gaston Plaintiff, financial manager for the peace ship cruise. Tips to the amount of $26,000 were given by the members of the expedition, and Henry Ford achieved the distinction of paying the greatest hotel bill ever paid by an individual when he gave $160,- 000 to the hotel keepers of Chris tiania, Stockholm, Copenhagen and The Hague for the accommodation of his guests. Wireless messages cost $10,- 000 alone, and it cost Mr. Ford $9,500 for railroad fares. He spent $40,000 to bring the voyagers back home. Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some daya headachy, dull and unstrung; some daya really incapacitated by illness. If we all would practice inside-bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosycheeked people everywhere. The reason is that th® human system does not rid Itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode Of living. For every ounce of food and. drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal befote putting more food into the stomach. Millions of -people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much from your druggist or at the store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.—Ady.

He meet* J. Wesley Cortwright his daughter, Genevieve, of the auto Party and explains the reclamation work to them. Cortwright sees In the project a big chance to make money. Broulllard Is Impervious to hints from the financier, who tells Genevieve that the engineer "Will come down and book himself if the bait is well covered." Do you believe there la as much grafting going on among our government officials, Including congressmen, as muckraking critics have frequently charged? Who's to blame in this story? CHAPTER IV—Continued. During the weeks which followed, the same trail, and a little later that from the Navajo reservation on the south, were strung with antlike processions of laborers pouring Into the shut-in valley at the foot of Mount Chlgrlngo. Almost as if by magic a populous camp of tents, shelter shacks and Indian tepees sprang up In the level bed-bottom of the future lake; campflres gave place to mess kitchens; the commissary became a busy department store stocked with everything that thrifty or thriftless labor might wish to purchase; and daily the great foundation scorings in the buttressing shoulders of Jack's mountain and Chlgrlngo grew deeper and wider. It was after the huge task of foundation digging was well under way and the work of constructing the small power dam in the upper canyon bad been begun that the young chief of construction, busy with a thousand details, had his first forcible reminder of the continued existence of Mr. J Wesley Cortwright It came in the form of a communication from Washington, forwarded by special post-rider service from Quesado, and it called a halt upon the upriver power project. In accordance with its settled policy, the reclamation service would refrain, in the Niquola as elsewhere, from entering into com petition with private citizens; would do nothing to discourage the Invest meat of private capital A company had been formed to take over the power production and to establish a plant for the manufacture of cement, and Brouillard was instructed to gov ern himself accordingly. For his in formation, the department letter writer went on to say. it was to be understood that the company was duly organized under the provisions of an act of congress; that it had bound itself to furnish power and materia) at prices satisfactory to the service; and that the relations between it and the government field-staff on the ground were to be entirely friendly "It's a graft—a pull-down with a profit in It for some bunch of money leeches a little higher up!" was the young chief's angry comment when he had given Orlslow the letter to read. "Without knowing any more of the details than that letter gives. I'd be willing to bet a month's pay that this Is the fine Italian hand Of Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright!" Grislow's eyebrows went dp In doubtful interrogation. "Ought I to know the gentleman?" he queried mildly. "1 don't seem to recall the name." "No. you don't know him. It was his motor party that was camping at the Buckskin ford the night we broke in here—the night when we saw the searchlight." "And you met him? 1 thought you told me you merely went down and took a look—didn't butt in?" "1 didn't—that night But the next morning they wanted to see the val ley. and I showed them the way in. Cortwright is the multimillionaire pork packer of Chicago, and he went up Into the air like a lunatic over the moneymaktng chances there were to be In this Job. I didn't nay much attention to his chortlings at the time. It didn't seem remotely credible that anybody with real money to invest would plant it la the bottom of the Nlquoia reservoir." "But now yon think be la going to make his bluff good?" T h a t looks very much like ft," amid Brouillard sourly, pointing to the letter from Washington T h a t achats* Is going to change the whole faoa of nature fa* its ap bare, Orlslow. It will speU trouble right f^w to* »W^'c 'em out and bury 'em, so tar as we are concerned." "That par} of it is all right, of course; but it won't end there; not by a hundred miles. Jobson says in that letter that the relations have got to be friendly! I'll bet anything you like that I'll have to go and read the riot act to those people before they've been twenty-four hours on their Job I" Grislow- was trying the point of his mapping pen on his thumb naiL "Carious that this particular fly should drop Into your pot of ointment on your birthday, wasn't it?" he remarked. "0 suffering Jehu!" gritted Brouillard ragefully. "Are you never going to forget that senseless bit of twaddle?" "You're not giving me a chance to forget it," said the mapmaker soberly. "You told me that night that the seven-year characteristic was change; and you're a changed man, Victor, If ever there was one. Moreover, it began that very night—or the next morning." Brouillard laughed. "All of which is bad enough, you'd say, Murray; but it Isn't the worst of it I've Just run up against another thing that is threatening to raise merry hell in this valley." "I know," said the hydrographer slowly. "You've been having a seance with Steve Massingale. Leshlngton told me about it/' "What did he tell you?" Brouillard demanded half angrily. "Oh, nothing much; nothing to make you hot at him. He said he gathered the notion that the young sorehead was trying to bully you." "He was," was the brittle admission. "See here, Grlzzy." The thing to be seen was a small buckskin bag which, when opened, gave up a paper packet folded like a medicine powder. The paper contained a spoonful of dust and pellets of metal of a dull yellow luster. The hydrographer drew a long breath and fingered the nuggets. "Gold—placer gold!" be exclaimed, and Brouillard nodded and went on to tell how he had come by the bag and its contents. "Massingale had an ax to grind, of course. You may remember that Harding talked loosely about the Massingale opposition to the building of the dam. There was nothing in it. The opposition was purely personal, and it was directed against Harding himself, with Amy Massingale for the exciting cause." "That girl?—the elemental brute!" Grislow broke in warmly. He knew the miner's daughter fairly well by this time, and, in common with every man on the staff, not excepting the staff's chief, would have fought for her in any cause. Brouillard nodded. "I don't knot* what Harding did. but Smith, the Triangle- Circle foreman, tells me that Steve was on the warpath; he told Harding when he left last summer, that if he ever came back to Nlquoia, he'd come to stay—and stay dead." "1 never did like Harding any too well" was the hydrographer's definitive comment and Brouillard went back to the matter of the morning's seance and its golden outcome. T h a t is only s little side issue. Steve Massingale came to me this morning with a proposal that was about as cold-blooded as a slap In the face. Naturally, for good business reasons of their own, the Massingales want to see the railroad built over War Arrow pass into the Nlquoia, (n some way Steve has found out that 1 stand pretty well with President Ford and the Pacific Southwestern people. His first break was to offer to Incorporate the 'Little Susan' and to give me a block of the stock if I'd pull Ford's leg on the extension proposition." "Well?" queried Grislow. "Exactly You can imagine what 1 -told him. Then he began to bully and pcl!*d the club on me." Again Grislow's smile was Jocose. "Well, when I turned him down, young Massingale began to bluster and to say that I'd have to boost the railroad deal whether I wanted to or n o t 1 told hrm ho couldn't prove H. and he said he would show me, tf I'd take halt an hoar's walk np the valley, with him. Too know that long* row sandbar In the river-jssaY too mouth of the «n$e*;i Grislow nodded. •••V^*"*5 :**V* T h a t is w h o * ' """ "" proof. MajaloJrifeJsssssPW1* panful of Use bar to wash o j f t i t S M B . 1 aid it. sad there hi that pa per. That bar Is comparatively nco placer dirt." "Good Lord I" ejaculated the mapmaker. "Comparatively rich, you say? —and you washed this spoonful out of a single pan?" "Keep your head," said Brouillard coolly. "Massingale explained that 1 had happened to make a ten-strike; that the bar wasn't any such bonanza as that first result would Indicate. I proved that too, by washing some more of It without getting any more than a tew 'colors.' But the fact remains: it's placer ground." It was at this point that the larger aspect of the fact launched iueif upon the hydrographer. "A gold strike!" he gasped. "And we—we're planning to drown it urfder two hundred feet ¾f a lake!" Brouillard'8 laugh was harsh. "Don't let the fever get hold of you, Grislow. Don't forget that we are here to carry out the plans of the reclamation service—which are more farreaching and of a good bit greater consequence than a dozen plater mines. Massingale drove the peg down good and hard. If I would jump in and pull every possible string to hurry the railroad over the range, and keep on pulling them, the secret of the placer bar would remain, a secret Otherwise he, Stephen Massingale, would give It away, publish it. advertise It to the world. You know what that would mean for us, Murray." "My Lord! I should say so! We'd have Boomtown-on-the-pike right now. with all the variational Every white man In the camp would chuck his Job in the hollow half of a minute and go to gravel washing!" "That's it precisely," Brouillard acquiesced gloomily. "Massingale is a young tough, but he is shrewd enough, when he is sober. He had me dead to rights, and he knew I t 'You don't want any gold camp starting up here in the bottom of your reservoir,' he said; and 1 had to admit i t " Grislow had found a magnifying glass In the drawer of the mapping table, and he was holding it in focus over the small collection of grain gold and nuggets. In the midst of the eager examination he looked up suddenly to say: "Hold on a minute. Why is Steve proposing to give this thing away? Why Isn't he working the bar himself?" "He explained that phase of it, after a fashion—said that placer mining was always more or less of a gamble, and that they had a sure thing of it in the 'Little Susan.' Of course, if the thing had to be given away he and his father would avail themselves of their rights as discoverers and take their chance with the crowd for the sake of the ready money they might get out of It Otherwise they'd be content to let It alone and stick to their legitimate business, which is quartz mining." "And to do that successfully they've got to have the railroad. How did you settle it finally?" "He told me to take a week or two and think about it." Grislow was biting the end of his penholder thoughtfully. "What are you going to do about 1t Victor?" he asked at length. "We can't stand for any more chaos than the gods have already doped out for us. can we?" Brouillard took another long minute at the office window before he said: "**What would you do if you were In my place, Murray?" But at this the mapmaker put up his hands as If to ward off a blow. "No, you don't!" he laughed. "1 refuse to be that kind of a fool But Til venture a Bmall prophecy: The golden secret will leak out And after that the deluge." A Fire of Little Sticks Two days after the arrival of the letter from Washington announcing the approaching invasion of private capital, Broulllard. returning from a horseback trip to the Buckskin, where Anson and Griffith were setting grade stakes for the canal diggers, found a visitor awaiting him in the camp headquarters office. One glance at the thick-bodied, heavy-faced man chewing an extinct cigar while he made himself comfortable in the only approach to a loung tng chair that the office afforded was sufficient to awaken an alert antagonism. The big man Introduced him self without taking the trouble to get out of his chair. "My name is Hosford. and I represent the Nlquoia Improvement company as its manager and resident engineer," said the lounger, shifting the dead cigar from one corner of his hard-bitted mouth to the other. "You're Billiard, the government man. I take i t r "Broulllard, If you please," was tho crisp correction. And then with a en*acement of tho final saving of bospijattty la tone or maooar: What can we do tor you, fcjr. Hoe- «or*r , "A good many things, first and last, t o two og^a*t*;days ahead of say out*. a a f p l p H p put me op eose* woere uuui l get a camp of my own You ve got some sort of an engineers' mess. I take it?" "We have," said Broulllard brl&Ay. 'You'll make yourself at home with as, of course," he added, and he tried to say it without making it sound too much like a challenge. "All right; t»o much for that part of it." said the Belf-invited gueat "Now for the business end of the deal—why don't you sit down?" Brouillard planted himself behind his desk and began to fill his blackened office pipe, coldly refusing Hosford's tender of a cigar. "You were speaking of the business matter." he suggested bluntly. "Yes. I'd like to go over your plans for the power dam In the upper canyon. If they look good to me I'll adopt them." "1 am very far from wishing to quarrel with anybody," said Brouillard. but his tone belied the words. "At the same time, if you think we are going to do your engineering work, or any part of it. for you. you are pretty severely mistaken. Our own Job is fully big enough to keep us busy." "You're off," said the big man coolly. "Somebody haa bungled in giving you the dope. You want to keep your job, don't you?" "That is neither here nor there. What we are discussing at present is the department's attitude toward your enterprise. 1 shall be exceeding my Instructions if 1 make that attitude friendly to the detriment of my own work." The new resident manager sat back in his chair and chewed his cigar reflectively, staring up at the log beaming of the office ceiling. "You're just like all the other government men I've ever had to do business with, Brouillard; pig-headed, obstinate, blind as bats to their own interests. 1 didn't especially want to begin by knocking you into line, but I guess it'll have to be done. I guess the best way to get you is to send a little wire to Washington. How does that strike you?" "I haven't the slightest Interest in what you may do or fail to do." said Brouillard. "But you have made the plans for this power plant, haven't you?" "Yes; and they are the property of the department. If you want them I'll turn them over to you upon a proper order from headquarters." "That's a little more like It. Where did you say I'd find your wire office?" Broulllard gave the information, and as Hosford went out Grislow came in and took his place at the mapping table. "Glad you got back In time to save my life," he remarked pointedly, with a shy glance at -his chief. "He's been plowing furrows up and down my little potato patch all day." "Humph! Digging for Information. 1 suppose?" grunted Brouillard. "Just that; and he's been getting It, too. Not out of me, particularly, but out of everybody. Also, he was willing to impart a little. We're in tor the time of our lives, Victor." "I know It," was the crabbed rejoin der. "You don't know the tenth part oi i t " asserted the hydrographer slowly. "It's a modest name, 'The Niquola Improvement company,' but It is going to be like charity—covering a multitude of sins. Do you know what that plank-faced organizer has got up his sleeve? He is going to build as a neat up-to-date little city right here in the middle of our midst If I hadn't made him believe that 1 was only a draftsman, he would have had me out with a transit running the lines fox the streets." "A city?—in this reservoir bottom? I guess n o t He was only stringing you to kill time, Grizzy." "Don't you fool yourself!" ex claimed the mapmaker. "He's got the plans in his grip. We're going to be on a little reservation set apart for as by the grace of God and the kind ness of those promoters. The remainder of the valley is laid off into cute little squares and streets, with every thing named and numbered, ready to be listed in the brokers' offices. You may not be aware of i t but this palatial office building of ours fronts on Chlgrlngo avenue." "Stuff!" said Broulllard. "What has all this bubble blowing got to do with the building of a temporary dam and the setting up of a couple of cement kilns?" Grislow laid his pen aside and whirled around on his working stool "Don't you make any e*jy-go1ng mistake, Victor." he said earnestly. "The cement and power proposition is only a side issue. These new people are going to take over the sawmills. open up quarries, build a stub railroad to the Hophra mines, grade a practicable stage road over the range to Queaado. aad put on a fast-mule freight line to servo until the railroad builds In.

To get botb pleasure and profit from a garden one does not need a large variety of flowers and vegetables. I do the planting and much of the work on a plot of about one acre. The products include asters, dahlias, strawberries, tomatoes, celery, lettuce, string beans, etc. March is none too soon to commence shaping one's plans for the garden. A good catalogue from some reliable seedman is necessary. The winter months are the time to study and plan out your scheme of garden. My experience has been that it is a mistake to try too many varieties of vegetables. Of peas, tomatoes and cabbage, select two varieties, one early, the other late. Of all the other vegetables 1 find one variety suffices. Order your seeds early, for by the middle of March one can begin operations by sowing tomato, cabbage and celery seeds in boxes filled with earth. Cigar boxes make a good receptacle for starting plants. They are deep enough and a good size to stand on the window sill. Two hundred plants can be started in one box. The early cabbage and tomato should be planted first. If you are going to try celery it should be among the first started. Do not cover the seed too deep. Follow the direction on the package as to depth. Do not get discouraged about results, as celery seed germinates very slowly. Keep the top of the earth always moist, and do not look for plants until the third week. When they do show, give plenty of light so that they will not be spindling. This also applies to cabbage and tomatoes. All of them will grow long, thread-like stems, which will be too weak to support themselves, unless given plenty of sunlight. The celery plants can remairi in the cigar box much longer than any of the other plants that I have suggested for house planting. They grow slowly. The tomatoes and cabbage will soon need larger quarters. As soon as the fourth leaf is under way, they should be planted into flats. Mine are about two feet square and three inches deep. I nailed them up myself, and any other woman with a few boards, a saw and a hammer, can do as much. Once made, they will be good for several seasons. Do not fill with earth to the top. By the time the plants are transplanted in the flats there will be many days when they can be placed outside for a few hours. This should be done whenever possible. Bulbs plunged in ashes should be ready to bring to the windoT by this time. Sow mignonettes In pots for early spring flowering. Mend the walks about the house and garden, and If the fences need it, repair them. Later the spring rush o/ work will prevent this.

Your liver Is Clogged Up Tlsftsf * W W Y W i e —HeveNe WAITING FOR THE END OF THE WAR "Then Take Advantage of the Opportunities in Canada." (Contributed by W. J. White, of the pepartment of the Interior* Ottawa, Canada.) I strolled into a bank in one of the cities of the west a short time ago and the bank manager said "after the war, the Canadians should be prepared for a great influx of people. The crops that the western Canadian farms have produced in 1915, and the wealth that the farmers have had thrust upon them by the high price of grain, will make farm lands valuable and farming remunerative. After the wax is over there will be tbouands go to Canada to engage in agriculture and many other Industrie* that will certainly prove profitable. Conditions will be wonderfully good. The advertising that Canada has had during the last year or two by ita magnificent contribution of over 250,000 men to flfht for the Empire, the wonderful sums it has given to the Red Cross and Patriotic funds, the excellent showing it made in subscribing over double) when only 50 millions of dollars was asked as a war loan, the bravery, courage and hardihood of the soldiers who have fought the battles in Flanders, it is just wonderful," and my enthusiastic banker grew eloquent. One might have thought he was a subsidized booster for Canada. "But," he said, "they won't go until after the wrar." "Well, now, Mr. , why wait until after the war? If all you say be true, and you have said nothing yet of the wonderful bank clearings of Canada today, nothing of the fact that the immense grain crop of Western Canada this year has given to every man, woman and child in that country, over three hundred dollars per head, why wait until after the war? After the war, under such conditions as you have pictured (and which are real) land values will go up, prices will increase. Advantage should be taken of the low prices at which these agricultural lands can be had today. They have not increased any as yet, and excellent farm lands can be had close to railways In- old settlements, In excellent communities for from fifteen to thirty dollars per acre. The climate Is good and will be no better after the war." "What about conscription, though? Is there not a danger from conscription, and should I advise any to go there now, would they not have to face it? Then, too, there is the report that there is a heavy war tax on lands." I was surprised to learn that these old yarns, stories that I thought had been exploded long ago, wore still doing duty In many parts of the United States, and that a gentleman of the wide learning of my friend, was inclined to believe them. "Conscription!" I said. "With Canada contributing 250,00.0 men voluntarily enlisted, why conscription? There is no conscription In Canada, and neither will there be. It Is not needed. In any case no legislation could be passed by the Dominion Parliament which would impose military service upon people who are not citizens of Canada, either by birth or naturalization. Settlers from the United States could not become naturalized British subjects until they had resided In Canada continuously for three years." I quoted from official documents. "Tn the first few months of the war I clearly stated that there would not be conscription In Canada I report that statement today." "And then as to taxes." I continued, quoting again from official authority. "All taxes levied by the Federal Government take the Indirect form of customs excise and inland revenue du> ties. It iri untrue that banners are paying direct war-tax levies and no intending settler need hesitate to come to Canada on this account. "Official denials should convince yon that all apprehensions which have been making some would-be-settlers from the United States hesitate to make a change while the war lasts are without foundation- With those misunderstandtngs cleared up, the present war conditions, even become an added inducement to settlement in amy part of the provinces of western Canada, inasmuch a t war prices and keen demands for an manner of farm prodocta afford the farmer a special opportunity to make money." I was glad of the chance and plowed to have b i n state that his views had altogether changed. I could have oontinaed, and told him of the tm times that had been made in the sense* of i f l i , eat of Wetftim Adds to the Attractiveness of the Haefte Place U s * Thrifty Via**, oats per acre from their farm at Wain* wrlght and from 60 acres of wheat field they threshed over 80 bushels per acre. These yields, while phenomenal, were repeated In many portions of western Canada. It was Interesting to> inform him that the average yiel^ spring wheat in Sackatchewan £5.10 bushels per acre; Manitoba, bushels; in Alberta, 36.16 bus and over the three provinces there was a total average of over 30 bushels per acre. "The immense crop that has-just been harvested has put millions of dollars in the hands of the farmers, and the work of distribution through the regular channels of trade has already begun. Millions of bushels of grain are still in the hands of the farmers, which means that there is a vast store of realizable wealth that will be steadily going into circulation, benefitting the thousands who are depedent indirectly on the basic industry of the province for their livelihood. "The mock prosperity that rested on the insecure foundation of inflated real estate values has passed away, and in its place the corner stone of the country's sound financial future is being built. "The trust and mortgage companies, the large implement concerns and the wholesale merchants all tell the same story today of marked improvement in their business. The farmers and others are meeting their just dues and paying off debts that in many cases have been long overdue. Collections are better today than they have been since the most prosperous days of our history, and obligations are being met freely and promptly. "Now," 1 said, "why should they wait until the war is over?" And he agreed with me.—Advertisement. THIN PERSONS LIVE LONGEST As Age Advances Investigations Show Danger From Overweight Is increased. Recent investigations show that the longest life and best health are not to be found among those of average build at any particular age On the contrary, it Is discovered that in those at the younger age who are slightly overweight and at the older ages among those who are distinctly underweight the longest life and best health will be found. Overweight is, above thirty-odd years, a definite disadvantage to health. It means staleness, lack of elasticity, clogged up tissues, and lack of the power of adaptability to invading germs, says London Ideas. Men from twenty to twenty-four can be accepted as healthy and for a long life fifty to sixty pounds above normal. Less excess weight is permissible between t* snty-flve and fifty and increasingly less as you go up. There are one-third more deaths among men between sixty-five and eighty who are fifty pounds to sixty pounds fatter than they should be for a given height At the ages of thirty-four to fortyfive from thirty-five pounds to fortyfive pounds heavier weight than a man should b*> double his risk of death. For anyone above thirty-five who Is thirty pounds too obese life Insurance companies hereafter will consider poor risks or raise their insurance rates. In Place of Gossip. "Conversation classes" are the fad of the moment. At a conversation class, of course, you learn to converse; and the women who attend are deslr* ous of reviving real conversation at the expense of mere talking. The members of the class meet in one another's drawing rooms, sometimes without a teacher or "director of conversation," and one of the first things improved upon the audience Is that intelligent listening is as mnch of an art as brilliant talking. When there* is no teacher, little groups of women meet and agree upon certain topics of conversation, about which each member informs herself. One woman tn the class is appointed to rule out interruptions and irrelevant rex and keep each talker to a time This is interesting to all the mei of the class, and certainly more recommended than the gossip to women are? given.

Washington.—If preparedness legislation goes through, as at present It is planned, it is probable the regular army will be increased by the addition of between 40,000 and 50,000 men. It seems likely that congress will provide that aa large a part of the Increase as possible shall be put into the field artillery, for it is established that field guns, that is light artillery, are the all-in-all of the present war, a fact that army men say was proved before the conflict was a month old. Winfleld Scott Hancock once said that the tariff was a'local issue, and for saying it was laughed at and voted into retirement. The developments of the years, many men hold, have vindicated Hancock's words. John M. Schofleld, major general of the United States army, foresaw the coming of the sharp need of greatly increased numbers of field guns if wars were to be won. He was abused and charged with a desire to help the artillery branch of the service at the expense of sister branches. There are few regular army officers today who are unwilling to give General Schofleld credit for hard sense and keen foresight. Field guns Vre doing the work in Europe today, and field guns, at the present time, mean something more than three-inch rifles and the smaller weapons by courtesy called cannon. Siege guns have become field guns. Heavy artillery also can be moved, laboriously it is true, but nevertheless successfully, from one point to another. Artillery seems to be the prime weapon of modern warfare. Artillery First Requisite. Army officers in Washington are alive to the situation. They want a well-balanced army, of course, and they will resent any attempt to cut down other branches to increase the artillery, but rather than weaken the force of artillery they probably will be willing that sacrifices In other branches shall be made. What they want, however, is enough field guns, and enough ammunition to serve them, to make certain the efficiency of the field artillery forces. When your correspondent was at the front in France, near the Argonne forest, S t Mihiel and Verdun, and later in the trenches in Lorraine, he got some realising sense of what artillery means in this war, and, moreover, he learned .definitely the necessity of unlimited ammunition for the guns in service. The cannonading from both the siege guns and the seventy-fives of the French and the seventy-sevens of the Germans was virtually incessant There was a lull at night, but all through the day the cannon roared along the Jotiy or fifty miles of front, for on a still day it Is possible to hear' the gunfire for many miles on either side of the listener. Every foreign officer who spoke on the subject at all, dwelt upon the necessity of field pieces, "shells and still more shells." Are Coast Cities Safe? Sharp knowledge may be had of the diametrically opposed views in Washington on the subject of preparedness by comparing some of the things that the anti-preparedness folks say with things said by the champions of preparation. There is an anti-preparedness committee here which is putting out many pleas against the enactment of any preparedness legislation this winter and, by intimation at least against any preparedness legislative plans for any winter to come. Th^se anti-preparedness advocates, virtually every one of whom is a pacifist hold that we do not need any more ships and that the army is big enough as it Is and that nothing should be done to create a volunteer force, nor to increase the strength of the militia. It is through -the antl-preparednees committee that one hears that our coast cities do not need any further means of defease than they now have, and that no enemy ever will try to place oar big towns under tribute, nor to molest the good American people tn any way. On the other hand, the advocates ef a plea to pet the United a position to defend- itself amy the condition Is ssjch thai any foe that can lay New Tort in two M r s , or In ruins te the ttase Os* It wesjsd tats a e¥tan * * • attested by facts which congress baa had in its possession for years and which every foreign government wild a military information corps has had In its possession tor a long time. Why is it said that a Toe cau smash our cities so easily? Because, army men say, there is only two hours' supply of ammunition for our tjeacoast defense gunB There is one curious feature which stands out from all the facts which have been presented to congress concerning our need or lack, of need of j preparation for defense froti possible j foes. It seems to be admitted that we have big guns enough for the protection of harhors and cities, but that we haven't the ammunition to make the guns useful In other words, congress has been authorizing plenty of money for guns, but has declined to authorize the money for the purchase of the ammunition which would make the guns serviceable. Wilson's Trip to the Capes. President Wilson has been looking oyer one of this country's greatest fortifications, the guard over the sea entrances to three great cities, one of which is the capital of the United States. When the president announced his intention of going to Fortress Monroe to have a-few days time in which to think on whom to appoint to succeed Lindley M. Garrison, his former secretary of war, he had one other object in view, namely, the inspection of the defenses at Fortress Monroe and of the site of the proposed additional defenses at Cape Henry. He wanted to learn at first hand something about the big guns and the water approaches which they command. There is one element in the preparedness plan upon which army officers and legislators fixed their minds prior to the great war in Europe and, of course therefore, prior to the time cf the arousing of interest in this country in the subject of quick preparation for defense. About two years ago plans were laid to build a big fort at Cape Henry to help Fortress Monroe guard the entrance to Chesapeake bay and to the James river. Up the Chesapeake at its farthermost point lies Baltimore. Running into the Chesapeake about midway between th-3 entrance and its high point, is the Potomac river, and up the Potomac lies the city of Washington. Just back of the main entrance to the waters of Hampton Roads lies the city of Norfolk, and up the James river, which empties Into the ocean nsar Norfolk, lies the city of Richmond. All of these cities must be guarded by the forts whose guns command the passageway between Cape Charles and Cape Henry. % Really Two Forts There. In reality there are two forts at Old Point Comfort. There is the old Fortress Monroe built a hundred or more years ago and which resembles to some extent the formications of the medieval period. There is the mason ry fort with Its embrasures through which poked the muzzles of now antiquated tmooth bore guts, and there Is the moat fed by the waters of the bay and whi^h was intended to embarrass If not to stop a land attack. Today as a companion to the old fort is a new fortress, unlike it in all particulars. It is modern and is equipped with the most modern highpower rifles. Electrical and somewhat Intricate machinery has taken the place of the old sponge and rammer staff which was used to charge the muzsle-loading smooth bores of the old time. Range finders and new inventions for sighting have superseded the old system of aiming the smooth bores which, as a matter of fact, were pointed to a considerable extent as an ordinary rifle is pointed. The guns of Fortress Monroe can hurl projectiles across the entrance to Chesapeake bay aa far as the shore waters of Cape Charles. Enemy vessels tn order to get into Chesapeake bay proper and to head toward Baltimore *and Washington must pass within range of the Fortress Monroe guns. However, if a fog is on, or if the enemy's ships are willing to take chances, they could pass up into the Chesapeake, bagging the Cape Charles shore and be in comparatively little danger of disaster from Monroe's guns. To Fortify Cape Henry. In order to make such a passage for the enemy's ships more hazardous batteries have been placed on what are called the Rip-raps which He in the waters of Hampton Roads to the right of Fortress Monroe as one looks seaward This makes two fortifications In place and ready to defend the hay and river approaches, but these two have not been considered sufficient to meet an the possibilities tn the case. Therefore ft was that, congress pro-' vided the means some Base ago for tin purchase of land for a fort on Cape Henry, -the more southern of the two canes between which the channel tote the Chesapeake tad Hampton itoads rsns from the ocean. This fort It to completed will have the BOdem guns and It seems Ukaiy that the sjpvsranient win pace one or two ef the It-inch monsters on thto ALCOHOL- 3 PER CENT.

Geese are just as profitable as ducks. The cost of raising geese is about the same as that o t raising green ducks, the expense varying with local conditions, prices of feed and labor, says Country Gentleman, -it costs approxi mately from G to 10 cents a pound to grow geese under more or less artificial conditious. When they can be grown on pasture the cost is considerably less. Geese require more room than ducks, and they, thrive best on laud where they can have access to ponds and streams. On most farms low,-.marshy land that cannot well be used for anything else can very profitably Us used as a .pasture for fc<*ese. Geeec live largely on grass, though insects and bugs are essential. When geese are raised in limited numbers special build higs are not essential. All that is noces sary is protection from storms.

So Wisely Distributed That Taxation Will Affect Farmers to a Degree Practically Unnoticeable. So many rumurs have been circulated regarding war taxation in Canada that the statement made by Sir ThomaM White, Canadian Minister Of Finance, ot the Government's plans for raising war revenue should be given the wideat circulation. Sir Thomas made it clear that the revenue will be raised by taxing the profits of incorporated companies whenever those profits exceed seven per cent, and the profits of unincorporated firms or partnerships when the profits exceed ten per cent. On all such excess profit* these companies or firms will have to contribute one-quarter to the Government. Transportation companies, banks, mining, milling, and other companies will be subject to this taxation, but life insurance companies, and companies with less than fifty thousand dollars capitalization, and companies, firms, or individuals engaged in agriculture or stock raising, are exempt, and pay no part of this taxation. The Only other additional taxation proposed is an increase of fifty cents a barrel in the customs duty on apples, and one-half cent a gallon in customs duty on certain kinds of oils. it will be noticed that this taxation Is being applied in such a way that it does not affect farmers in the slightest degree, except, perhaps, through a small increase in cost of apples and oil. The war revenue is to be paid out of the profits of the big firms and companies with capital of over fifty thousand dollars, and even these are allowed seven per cent in some cases, and ten per cent in others, of clear profits before they have to pay any part of this taxation. It will be seen that the whole policy is to place the war expenditure taxation on those who have been making big profits and are able to pay it, and to encourage farming and stockraising by exempting farmers and stock-raisers from the taxation. This ought to set at rest every rumor that the farmer or the farmer's land is being taxed to pay the cost of the war.—Advertisement. *£• IF BACK HURTS CLEAN KIDNEYS WITH SALTS Drfrvk Lots of Water and Stop Eating Meat for a While If the Bladder Bother* You.

They fill a place that trees, shrubs and flowers cannot. They not only screen unsightly objects, but serve as a shade, a protection, and when trained carefully over outbuildings, stone walls and porches they help to make a picture of the home surroundings. Three of the best clinging vines are the Boston ivy, English ivy and the trumpet vine. They are best on brick or stone walls as they are apt to cause decay if allowed to climb over shingles and woodwork. Japanese honeysuckle is of quick growth and great beauty. Its delicate odor and lacelike foliage are desirable qualities. Any of the honeysuckle family are good where dense shade is not requisite. The crimson rambler is another great favorite. It is particularly beautiful when grown over white trellises. Where one wishes to change the location of vines yearly the annuals are necessary. Among the number of beautiful annual climbers the morning glory takes a leading place. The moonflower and cypress and canary bird flower are other beautiful vines, easily grown. To start the seed of Moonflower and Morning Glory cut the seed a little on one side and soak overnight in warm water, plant in a window box or seedbed and transplant out of doors when the ground is warm. Wild cucumbers and Japanese or native hop are hardy^ines and make a dense green shade. Hyacinth bean is also very pretty and a profuse bloom THE WINDOW GARDEN swered simply."—Washington Star.

Unless the window is more than usually tight, there will be a cpld draft which is always injurious to plants, especially when applied to the roots. Sunshine in midwinter ts always welcome to plant life, yet this should be given in moderation, if the plants are crowded up against the pane, test as to whether the glass may not become too heated. Plant Starvation is a common occurrence in the winter,' especially on the farm. City growers, accustomed to buying not only plant food but even soil, are appreciative of the need of replenishing. But we who have always been accustomed to getting the soil from our own land, sometimes fail to appreciate how quickly the small pot of earth is exhausted of its nutrient qualities. There are prepared plant foods more agreeable to use indoors than fertilizers from the barnyard, but none more efficient. As it is inconvenient to get this fn zero weather, some prefer to fill a sack with fertilizer from the stable and keep this in a crock or pail, covering with water frequently for Immediate USQ. It adds pleasure to watch the growth of the unfamiliar. And too, one learns by this novel class. Be it for foliage, blossom, :brilliancy of color'or fragrance, vary the collection.

"You see that building," said a saloonkeeper in Montana. "That is ail I have in the world. I worked hard to build and equip it. There I earn the food and clothing for my wife and babies. You women aay you are going to put me out of business. That will ruin my property. How am I to support my family?" I thought of the many families that his business was making hungry and unhappy, but I said nothing of thiB, for there was to me a pathos in his plea and to him it was a very real problem. In the seven states that recently went dry there are thousands that meet the Bame conditions. They are cast adrift " npon a wholly uncharted sea and they see nothing beyond. I answered: "My friend, when Montana goes dry, and as sure as you and I live Montana is going dry, that lot will remain Just where it is. Unless there is a fire, and against that you can continue to protect your property by insurance as you are doing now, your building will remain where it is. Just lower your bar and make a counter of it. Put- in some more windows » at a slight expense, and sell tea, coffee, sugar, flour, shoes—any commodity—to the very same people who patronize you now and receive in exchange the same kind of dollars. Perhaps, my friend, you have not thought that Mr. Brown over there who now comes to your place nightly and spends his money, may come in and buy a pair of shoes for Ms little Mary, who sadly needs them. This purchase on his part will not unfit him to earn another day's wage tomorrow to buy something needed for his small son, Jimmie. And then perhaps he will come in the next night and buy a sack of flour, taking it home to his wife to use in making bread. As for Mr. Brown himself, he will go to bed and get a good night's sleep and the next day he will be able to earn enough more funds to buy a sack of potatoes. Do yfcjr^ot see that you may sell from the same building to the same people who now patronize you and get even more money? I am sure, too, that your wife will be happier and your children will no longer be shunned.

Judge Tully Scott of Colorado's supreme court speaking to the toast "Democracy's Opportunity** at a Democratic banquet, made this statement: "In my opinion constitutional prohibition will never be repealed in Colorado. I believe it t o be as firmly established as the provision for equal suffrage, and I believe we all agree that any effort to repeal the grant of tqual suffrage in this state would prove as futile aa an attempt to repeal the natural law of gravitation." COWARDLY PLEA. - In every country state finance has been the rook behind which the poisoners took shelter. "Without the liquor tax what a deficit there will be!" War gave swift answer to that cowardly plea, What was the tax gain from liquor when dropped into the war deficit of a MUkm a month? War gave the lesson that yon cannot measure fn tersss of money.— te " M s * tan Bo i fering with female trouble and coo Id hardly do my work.

This Company was organized August. 30th, 1915, thus enabling his first members to join at a time of the year when the best risks could be selected and after the more numerous losses of the summer months bad passed. This Company obtained about nineteen hundred members which enabled them to pass through the winter and the experimental stage with safety, and the large membership and surplus will now enable the Company to commence the spring work with everything in its favor. The revenue from new members will be large for sometime to come. One Company and one overhead expense will keep the cost down to the lowest point, as -the Company is run on the mutual plan, the cost to join is only $1.00 for policy and 25c per H. P. 8tate rating. Anyone desiring an application or an agency should write to the Citizens' Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, Howell, Michigan.—Advertisement.

CYCLONE SEASON NEAR $1,000,003 of Cyclone Losses in the State of Michigan In the Year 1913. This Company paid out $272,000 of losses in the year 1913. It has paid during the past five years 9,539 losses and a total of $435,358 to people who have had their buildings wrecked in the State of Michigan. The Company has about 40,000 members, and $88,000,000 of assessable capital. The Company has made only six assessments in nineteen years; thirteen out of the nineteen not a single dollar collected by assessment from any member of this Company. No assessment was made in the year 1915, and yet the Company had on hand January' let, 1916, about $80,000 in cash. There are about one hundred mutual companies in Michigan covering fire insurance; they save the farmers of Michigan about $1,000,000 over the cost in stock companies each year. The saving in cyclone insurance is much greater.' Because of our large membership with only one overhead expense, mutual insurance against cyclone, in our Company, on account of the low cost and efficient service, has appealed to the farmers and business men of every' section of the State. The many cyclones and tornadoes which have ruined people in nearly every part of the State should be a warning to you. Insure your property whether it be in the city or country, in a safe Company. The cost of a policy of $2,000 is only $4.50. See our agent in your locality at once, or write C. H. Rood, Sec. State Mutual Cyclone Insurance Company, Lapeer, Mich. —Advertisement.

On- a As a maa grows thinner with ago b i s wife msually grows fatter. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—From time to time the White House receives petitions from peace and church societies and from organizations which are devoted to sociological endeavor, urging the president to intervene in behalf of peace on the other side of the water. Some months ago these petitions were received in Washington in great numbers. Then for a time comparatively few came, but recently it is said there has been an increase In the size of the peace-petitioning mall bag. it can be said that the possibility of bringing about peace has been in President Wilson's mind ever since the war began. It is generally believed in Washington, however, that Mr. Wilson feels be cannot take up sucb a matter at the present time, for unquestionably be thinks the nations engaged in fighting one another would consider such a proposal at this time as something like an impertinence. Those who seem to know Mr. Wil son's views say he has his eye and heart watching and waiting for a peace-proposing opportunity, but that he has had no illusions on the subj e c t It can be taken for granted that the president wants to bring about peace for the sake of peace, and, of course, It is natural to suppose he realizes it would be a master stroke for his administration if it were to be the chief Instrument in making warring men lay down their arms. When Japan and Russia were fighting each other twelve years ago, Theodore Roosevelt, who was then president of the United States, found out that both of the warring nations were willing to listen to peace proposals and then he succeeded in bringing about the conference at Portsmouth, N. H., which resulted In the signing of a peace treaty by the two nations. Not Yet Ready for Peace. Mr. Roosevelt felt his way toward making bis proposals It seems to be unquestionably true that Mr. Wilson has felt his way likewise in the present instance, but that he has found the way led up against a stone wall. Here is the way one Washington official has put the matter: "Peace proposals by pacifists, peace ships loaded with amity lovers from bow to stern, tracts with the Golden Rule emblazoned on them, the wails of war widows and orphans and all other things born of sympathy and good will, it is felt today by the admin istration and its advisers, will be of no avail, because of the stern fact that the fighting nations are not ready for peace." It might be said without much danger of going wrong that the central powers today would be willing to submit to peace negotiations because of their favored position at the present time. Germany and Austria are in possession of Belgium, a part of France, parts of other countries and the whole of some of the smaller Btates. Therefore Washington recognises that the central powers are in a good position to be willing that peace should come. On the other hand, there is every indication that neither the English nor the French, nor the Russians, nor the Italians would look on peace proposals at t h e present time as anything but proposals to bring to them misfortunes worse than war itself. In other words, the allied countries probably would hold that even to consider peace at this moment would be tantamount to Intimating a willingness to give up territory and to stop the war at a loss not only of territory, but of prestige. Foreign Affairs Political Issue. For a year and a half after the European war broke out virtually all the members of congress seemed to feel that the-diplomatic dealings of this country with the belligerent nations should not be made subjects of partisan' debate. This feeling now has passed, to a considerable extent, aad the foreign policies of the government are being made the subject of bested discussion In both booses of congress. The Democrat* say the Republicans first made the foreign matters s political issue, and the Republicans retort that t h e weak methods of nsndling roreign matters forced overthesea relations into the nottttcsl field, and that t h e people, taking the matter ap, wmdo fbeir senators s a d Mpro> seutatives follow salt. EHaa Boot ssada his speech » Mow York city a t the a n o a o l a i oonveadon o ftbo Rapnblkaa party. Ho attacked the administration's foreign policy. A few days afterward Senator Lewis of Illinois delivered himself in the senate of an address in support of the administration's diplomatic dealings, and in bis speech be charged the Republicans with trying to make political capi tal out of matters which hud DO place in politics. Then came the Bpeech of Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts, in which he criti-ized sharply tb~ statu department's dealing and, over the shoulder of the state depart ment. the directing influence of President Wilson Senator Sterling of South Dakota also made a speech along the Lodge lines, and both these speeches were similar In spirit to those made by Mr. Root in New York city. Preparedness Also Political. The Democrats in the senate coun tered against the Republican senators with speeches by Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, and by John Sharp Williams of Mississippi. Literally the senate has been a forum for give-and-take speeches with diplomacy as Us text. It has been pretty definitely shown by the speeches already made 1n the bouse and senate that preparedness Is a political issue, even If diplomacy has no such a place. It is also shown that neither Democrats nor Republicans seem to feel that in the matter of preparedness they should not talk politics The reason that preparation for defense has become a political issue is that the Republicans believe in a greater measure of preparedness than do the Democrats, and, therefore, preparedness as a policy has become a party matter Compromise on Preparedness? It seems almost certain today that a military preparedness -bill in the form in which it will finally go to the president for his signature will be a compromise between the houBe measure and the senate measure. As the country knows pretty thoroughly by this time, the plan of Chairman Hay of the house committee on military affairs is to federalize the militia to as great an extent as possible, and thereby to make the state troops a reserve for the regular army, instead of instituting a continental army of volunteers, as was and still Is the senate plan. Chairman Hay was opposed to a large increase in the regular army, but It 1B now believed he, his committee with him and also the house, will agree eventually to an increase in the regular army until it shall reach a strength of about 150,000 men. This regular force, supplemented by a largely increased and strengthened militia, will form the main land forces for defense purposes of the United States, provided, of course, that the expected compromise with the senate Is reached. The senate committee on military affairs, of which Senator Chamberlain of Oregon is chairman, has stood for the Garrison plan of a large continental army of volunteers and for an increase in the regular army to a number much greater than that fixed upon by Chairman Hay of the house committee. It seems today as if the outcome will be that the house will yield to tne senate in the matter of a considerable increase in the regular army and that the senate will yield to the extent of giving over its continental army and accepting as a substitute therefor a federal militia plan. Federalized. Militia Argument. There are army officers of high rank who hold that the militia never can be thoroughly federalized. In other words, they believe that all the laws which congress may pass to bring about federalization will not do what they are expected to do, because, as the army men say, the Constitution of the United States stands in the way. In contravention to the army view, friends of the federalized militia plan say that high legal authorities agree that the United States government, without violating the Constitution, can take over virtually full control of the militia. Moreover, they say that pecuniary aid which will be granted by government to the militia can be withdrawn at any time that the states do not live up to the agreements which the government tnslsts that they shall make, if they are to be the recipients of Uncle Sam's bounty. Provisions for Officers. It is believed the number of cadets at West Point will be doubled by the legislation which it is thought the house and senate will agree upon. It is also expected that government aid in the form of money will be given to a state college in each commonwealth for the purpose of instructing young men adequately in military science. It is held that these schools will give young Americans a sufficient military training- to enable them to take op the dalles of the junior c o m mission grades in the volunteer service of their country la time of trouble.

It proposes an even more sweeping change in military policy than that outlined by President Wilson In his annual message, and was described by Mr. Chamberlain as the most comprehensive piece of military legislation ever offered in congress. There is no vital difference between the senate and house and members of both committees be- Meve that when the final bill, which will be agreed on in joint conference committee, has passed both houses, the president will be able to affix his signature to a measure that will do more than he has asked toward building up an adequate national defense.

Enlisted men would receive pay on the basis of one-fourth of the regular army pay, and would contract on enthe United States wTien the Mexican situation was most acute about two years ago.

"The naval general staff states that H. M. S. Moewe, Commander Captain Burgrave Count von Dohna-Sehlodien, after a successful cruise lasting several months, arrived at some home port with four British officers, 29 British marines and sailors, 166 men of crews of enemy steamers, among them 103 Indians, as prisoners, and 1,000,000 marks in gold bars. "The vessel captured the following enemy steamers, the greater part of which were sunk and a small part of which were sent as prizes to neutral ports. "The British steamers Corbridge, 3,687 tons; Author, 3,496 tons; Trader, 3,608 tons; Ariadne, 3,035 tons; Dromonby, 3,062 tons; Farrlngford, 3,146 tons; Clan MacTavish, 5,816 tons; Appam, 7.781 tons; Westbun, 3,300 tons; Horace, 3,335 tons; Flamenco, 4,629 tons; Saxon Prince, 3.- 471 tons. The British sailing vessel Edinburgh, 1,473 tons. The French steamer Maroni, 3,109 tons. The Belgian steamer Luxembourg, 4,322 tons. At several points on enemy coast the Moewe also laid out mines to which, among others, the battleship King Edward VII fell victims." Live Stock. DETROIT—Cattle Receipts, 2,890.

BREWERS ARE INDICTED For Unlawful Spending of Money During Elections. Pittsburg—One hundred and one indictments of which 100 are against 72 brewing companies located in various parts of Pennsylvania, and one against the United States Brewers' association of New York, were unexpectedly returned by the federal grand Jury which has been tnvastigating the alleged political activity of brewers. The indictments, which are the first returned since the investigation opened, charge the brewing companies and the association with conspiracy in the alleged unlawful expenditure of mosey In elections at which rotes for federal officials were being c a s t Detroit—Detroit housewives are contributing daily to the munition factories at the expense of their hus- ! bands who have to pay higher and f higher prices for printed matter. The ! old rags and waste paper that the ragman picks up in the alleys or buys ffor a few cents are no longer going to t h e paper mills, but are being bought up in enormous quantities by the powder mills for the manufacture of gun-cotton. The powder mills have such a monopoly on the rag market of this country that some of the paper mills are actually on the verge of closing down. "Because of the great drain by the munitions factories of the materials from which paper is made the prices of paper of all kinds are advancing at an alarming rate. All paper is at least 20 per cent higher now than a year ago and many kinds are almost twice as expensive. Verdun, via Paris—Nine-inch shells are falling around the Gath bridges and railway stations of Verdun. They come from long range guns—seven miles away—and drop methodically. The German gunners are trying to break the communications through Verdun. Strangely enough not a bridge nor an entrance to the abandoned fortifications has been struck directly. Splinters from shells have chopped some of the structures, but none of them has been destroyed. The city is vacant. It is more like a ghost of a city than a modern, well-built town. There is no civilians and no soldiers here. Firemen have remained, however, and are busy stopping the work of the incendiary bombs. A detachment of gendarmes is on duty as a precaution against any stray plundering. Twenty-two thousand persons locked their doors, and with a small allowance of personal baggage, left the town by order. Transportation was provided for them without deranging the enormous military requirements of the moment One can walk through miles of streets with shattered windows without seeing a person either in uniform or out of uniform.

TELEGRAPHIC FLASHES "The attempt to check emigration from the United States to our prairie provinces by publishing alarming statements about the enormous v a r taxes that are being paid here—$500 on a quarter section yearly—about forcing young men to enlist for the war; about the cold, no cropa and any old, etory that by their extravagant' boldaess might influence men and women from venturing north to Canada, is really in the list of curios to our people; Knowing the country, we can hardly take it Beriously. Our governments, hoe/ever, dominion and provincial, are taking steps to expose t h e false statements that are being made, and thereby keep the channel open fdr continuing the stream of settlers that has been flowing o us for the past decade. We have thought to assist in this work, and to do so purpose giving, from time to time, actual experiences of Americans who have come to Saskatchewan during late years. We give the statements of two farmers in this issue ae follows: — STATEMENT OF M. P. TYSDAL. I lived near Lee, Illinois, for 46 years. I came to Saskatchewan in the spring of 1912 and bought land near Briercrest I have farmed this land, 1,680 acres, ever since. I have had grand crops. In 1914 I had 100 acres of wheat that yielded 40 bushels to the acre. I sold this wheat at $1.50 per bushel. I like the country and my neighbors. My taxes on each quarter section (160 acres) are about $32 a year. This covers municipal tax, school tax, hall insurance tax—everything. There is no war tax, so-called. I like the laws in force here. There is no compulsion to m i in any way. I am just as independent here as I was in Illinois, and I feel that my family and I are Just as well protected by the laws of the province as we were ID our )ld home in Illinois. What I earn here is my own. I have seven children and they take their places at school, in sports and at all public gatherings the same as the Canadian born. (Signed) M. P. TYSDAL. February 9th, 1916. STATEMENT OF-STEVE SCHWEITZBERGER I was born in Wisconsin, but moved with my parents when a boy to Stephen Co., Iowa. I was there farmin for 50 years. I sold my land then for over $200 an acre. I moved to Saskatchewan, and located near Briercrest in the spring of 1912. I bought a half section of land. I have good neighbors. I feel quite at home here the same as in Iowa. We have perfect safety and no trouble in living up to the laws in force. My taxes are about $65 a year, on the half section for everything. I have had splendid crops. Wheat In 1915 yielded me over 50 bushels to the acre. That is more than I ever had in Iowa and yet the land there costs four times as much as it does here. The man who comes here now and buys land at $50 an acre or less gets a bargain. (Signed) S.

If you were in love with a girl and t beast of a man, who had the power to get you fired from your job, made a smirking remark about her to you, would you smash him In the jaw and kick him out of your office— even if the act caused an indefinite postponement of your wedding? CHAPTER V—Continued. "I can't believe it, Murray. It's * leaf out of the book of Bedlam! Take a fair shot at It and see where the bullet lands: this entire crazy fake is built* upon one solitary, lonesome fact—the fact that we're here, with a job on our hands big enough to create an active, present-moment market for labor and material. There is absolutely nothing else behind the bubble blowing: if we were not here the Nlquola Improvement company would never have been heard of!" Grlslow laughed. "Your arguing that twice two makes four doesn't change the iridescent hue of the bubble/' he volunteered. "If big money has seen a chance to skin somebody, the mere fact that the end of the world is due to come along down the pike some day isn't going to cut any obstructing figure. We'll all be buying and selling corner lots in Hosford's new city before we're a month older. Don't you believe it?" "I'll believe it when 1 Bee it," was Brouillard's reply; and with this the matter rested for the moment It was la*ter In the day, an hour or so after the serving of the hearty supper in the engineers' mess tent, that BroulUard was given to see another and still less tolerable side of his temporary guest Hosford had come into the office to plant himself solidly in the makeshift easy chair for the smoking of a big, black after-supper cigar. "I've been looking over your rules and regulations, BroulUard," he began, after an interval of silence which BroulUard had been careful not to break. "You're making a capital mistake in trying to transplant the old Connecticut blue laws out here. Your workingmen ought to have the right to spend their money in any way thai suits 'em." Brouinard was pointedly occupying himself at his desk, but he looked up long enough to say: "Whisky, you mean?" "That and other things. They tell me you don't allow any open gambling or any women here outside of the families of the workmen." "We don't," was the short rejoinder. -That won't hold water after we get things fairly in motion." " v l t will have to hold water aa far *Jg) we are concerned, if I have to build ; * stockade around the camp," snapped "Srooillard.

"When I find a man bearing down hard on all the little wloes, it always makes me wonder V"%hat's the name of the corking big one ' J f | Is trying to cover up." ^ B l n c e there was obviously no peaceful reply to be made to this, Brouillard best lower over bis work and amid nothing. At every fresh step in the forced acquaintance the newcomer was p a i n ^ V ^ g 1 ? developing new aa- Sooneror later. Brouillard . it would come to an open ruptare. bot be was hoping that the actual KtTHrles could be postponed After Hosford bad worn out bis porery welcome as a gmeet ta the brother from that mine up on the south mountain—Massingale, isn't it? By Jove! she fairly made my mouth water!" Inasmuch as no man can read fieldnotes when the page has suddenly become a red blur, Brouillard looked up. "You are my guest, In a way, Mr. Hosford; for that reason I can't very well tell you what I think of~ you." So much he was able to say quietly. Then the control mechanism burned out in a flash of fiery rage and he cursed the guest fluently and comprehensively, winding up with a crude and savage threat of dismemberment if he should ever venture so much as to name Miss Massingale again in the threatener's hearing. Hosford sat up slowly, and his big face turned darkly red. "Well!" he broke out "So you're that kind of a fire-eater, are you? I didn't suppose anything like that ever happened outside of the ten-cent shockers, wake up, man; this is the twentieth century we're living in. Don't look at me that way!" But the wave of insane wrath was already subsiding, and Brouillard, half ashamed of the momentary lapse into savagery, was onve more scowling down at the pages of his notebook, when the door opened and Qulnlan, .the operator, came in with a communication fresh from the Washington wire. The message was an indirect reply to Hosford's telegraphed appeal to the higher powers. Brouillard read it, stuck it upon the file, and took a roll of blueprints from the bottom drawer of bis desk. "Here are the drawings for your power Installation, Mr. Hosford,** he said, handing the roll to the man in the chair. And a little later he went out to smoke a pipe In the open air, leaving the message of inquiry he had Intended to send unwritten. CHAPTER VI Symptomatic i For some few minutes the two on the cabin porch made no attempt to talk, but when the rumbling thunder of the ore-car which the elder Massingale was pushing ahead of him into the mine had died away in the subterranean distances Brouillard began again. "1 do get your point of view—some times," he said. "Civilization, or what stands for i t does have a way of shrinking into littleness, not to say cheapness, when one can get the proper perspective. And your life up here on Chigringo has given you the needful detached point of view." The trouble shadows in the eyes of the young woman who was sitting in the fishnet hammock gave place to a smile of gentle derision. "Do you call that civilization r she demanded, indicating the straggling new town spreading itself, maplike, in the valley below. "I suppose it is—one form of i t At least it is civilisation In the making. Everything has to have some sort of a beginning." Miss Massingale acquiesced in a little uptilt of her perfectly rounded chin. ^ "Just the same, you don't pretend to say you are enjoying it" she said la manifest deprecation. "Oh. I dont know. My work is down there. A few weeks ago I waa righteously h o t It seemed so crudely unnecessary to start a pigeon-plocking match at this distance from Wan street" "But now," she queried—"now, I suppose, you have become reconciled r *1 am growing more philosophical, let us say. There are Just about so many pigeons to be plucked, anyway; they'd molt if they weren't plucked. And NT may as well be dose here as on the stock exchange, when you come to think of i t " **1 like you least when you talk that way," said the young woman in the hammock, with open-eyed trankaeae, "Do you do it aa other men dot—just to hear how it sound*?" Broofflaxd, sitting on the top step of the porch, leaned his head agalmet the porch post and langhed "You know too much—a lot too for a person.of your tender he asserted. "Which aaseee of the flharmhtg oonocttoa am a 'collection of contradictions.'" Brouillard'8 gaze went past the shapely little figure in the string hammock to lose itself in the far Tlmanyonl distances. "You are a bundle of surprises." be said, letting the musing thougbt «llp into speech. "What can you possibly know about my thoughts?" She made a funny little grimace at him. "It was 'contradictions' a moment ago and now it is 'surprises.' Which reminds me, you haven't told me why I am a 'collection.'" •*0h. I can catalogue them if you push me to i t One minute you are the Madonna lady that I can t recall, calm, reposeful, truthful, and all that, you know—so truthful that those childlike eyes of yours would make a stuttering imbecile of the man who should come to you with a lie in hia mouth." "And the next minute?" "The next minute you are a witch, laughing at the man's little weaknesses, putting your finger on tbem as accurately as if you could read tits soul, holding them up to your ridicule and—what's much worae—to bis own. AT such times your insight or whatever you choose to call i t is enough to give a man a fit of 'seeing things.' " Her laugh was like a schoolgirl's, light-hearted, ringing, deliciously unrestrained/ "What a picture!" she commented. And then: "I can draw a better one of you, Monsieur Victor de Brouillard." "Do i f he dared. "Very well, then: Once upon a time —it was a good while ago, I'm afraid— you were a very upright young man You would cheerfully have died for s principle in those days, and you would have allowed the enemy to cut you up into cunning little inch cubes before you would have admitted that any pigeon was ever made to be plucked." He was smiling mirthlessly, with the black mustaches taking the sardonic upcurve. "Then what happened?" "One of two things, or maybe both of them. You were pushed out into the life race with some sort of a handicap. I don't know what It was—- or is. Is that true?" He nodded gravely. "It is all true enough. You haven't added anything more than a graceful little touch here and there. Who has been telling you all these things about me? Not Grizzy?" "No, not Murray Grlslow; It was the man you think you know best in ail the world—who is also probably the one you know the least—yourself." "Good heavens! Am I really such a transparent egoist as all that?" "All men are egoists," she answered calmly. "In some the ego Is sound and clear-eyed and strong; in others it is weak—in the same way that passion is weak; it will sacrifice all tt bas or hopes to have in some sudden fury of self-assertion." She sat up and put her hands to her hair, and he was free to look away, down upon the great ditch where the endless chain of concrete buckets added to the deep and widespread foundations of the dam. Across the river a group of hidden sawmills sang their raucous song. In the middle distance the caoip-town city spread its roughly indicated streets over the valley level, the tall chimney stacks of the new cement plant were rising, and from the quarries beyond the plant the dull thunder of the blasts drifted up. This was not Broulllard's first visit to the cabin on the Massingale claim by many. In the earliest stages of the valley activities Smith, the Buckskin cattleman, had been Amy Massingale's escort to the reclamation camp—"just a couple o' lookers." in Smith's phrase —and the unconventional altitudes had done the rest From that day forward the young woman had hospitably opened her door to Brouillard and his assistants, and any member of the corps, from Leshington the morose, who commonly came to sit in solemn silence on the porch step, to Griffith, who had lost his youthful heart to Miss Massingale on his first visit was welcome. A Turn in the Trait For BroulUard it had seemed the most natural thing in the world to fall under the spell of enchantment He knew next to nothing of the young woman's life story; he had not cared to know. It had not occurred to him to wonder how the daughter of a man who drilled and shot the holes in his own mine should have the gifts and belongings—when she chose to display them—of a woman of a much wider world. It was enough for him that she was piquantly attractive in any character aad that be found her marvel, ousry stimulating and uplifting. On the days when the devil of and irritability pnsissasd and deeed him he could climb to the eabta on high Cfcigrtago aad t a d sanity It was a-keea joy to be with her, aad up to the p r i s t tads had "You may put it in that way if you please," Bhe returned gravely. "What its your need?" He stated It concisely. "Money—a lot of It." "How singular!" she laughed. She got out of the hammock and came to lean, with ber hands behind her, against the opposite porch post "But tell me, what wo'uld you do with your pot of rainbow gold—if you should find it?" Brouillard rose and straightened himself with his arms over his head like an athlete testing his muscles for the record breaking event. "What would I do? A number of things. But first of all, I think, I'd buy the privilege of telling some worn an that 1 love her." She was silent for so long a time that he looked at hia watch and thought of going. But at the deciding Instant she held him with a low-spoken question. "Does It date back to the handicap? You needn't tell me If you don't want to." "It does. And there Is no reasou why I shouldn t tell you the simple fact. When my father died he left me a debt—a debt of honor; and It must be paid. Until it is paid—but I am sure you understand." "Quite fully," she responded quickly and now there was no trace of levity in the sweetly serious tone, "la it much?—so much that you can't—" He nodded and sat down again on the porch step. "Yes, It is big enough to go In a class by itself—in round numbers,, a hundred thousand dollars " "Horrors!" she gasped. "And you are carrying that millstone? Must you carry It?" "If you knew the circumstances you would be the first to say that 1 must carry it, and go on carrying it to the end of the chapter." "But—but you'll never be free!" "Not on a government salary." he admitted. "As a matter of fact, It takes more than half of the salary to pay the premiums on—pshaw! Let's drop It." She was looking beyond him and her voice was quick with womanly sympa thy when she said: "If you could drop It—but you can't. And It changes ev erything for you, distorts everything, colors your entire life. It's heart breaking!" This was dangerous ground for him and he knew It. In the ardor of young manhood he had taken up the vicari ous burden dutifully, and at that time his renunciation of the things that other-men strove for seemed the light est -of the many fetterings. But now love for a woman was threatening to make the renunciation too grievous to be borne. "How did you know?" he queried curiously. "It does change things. Id sell anything I've got, Bave one, for a chance at the freedom that other men have—and dcn't value." "What is the one thing you wouldn't sell?" she questioned, and Brouillard chose to discover a gently quickened interest In the clear-seeing eyes. "My love for the—for some woman I'm saving that, you know. It is the only capital I'll have when the big debt is paid." "Do you want me to be frivolous or serious?" she asked, looking down at him with the grimacing little smile that always reminded him of a caress "I have been wondering whether she is or isn't worth the effort—and the reservation you make. Because it is all in that, you know. You can do and be what you want to do and be if you only want to hard enough." He was looking down, chiefly because he dared not look up, when he answered soberly: "She Is worth it many, times over; her price is above rubies. Money, much or little, wouldn't be in i f "That is better—much better. Now we may go on to the ways and means; they are all in the man, not in the things, 'not none whatsoever,' as Tig would say. Let me show you what I mean. Three times within my recollection my father has been worth considerably more than you owe, and three times he has—well. It's gone And now he is going to make good again when the railroad comes." Brouillard got up. MI must be going back down the bin," he said. And then, without warning: "What if I should tell you that the railroad is not coming to the Ntquola. Amy?" DRINK HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and are seldom ill. If you are accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, If your meala sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise awaiting you. Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaapoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is Intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indigestible waBte, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your druggist or at the store and begin enjoying this morning inside-bath. It 1B said that men and women who try this become enthusiastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing* disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people practice It. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, - purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaapoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless.—Adv. Rapid Promotion. For three hours the American consul in a certain Mexican town had been sitting In the hotel dining room. At length the proprietor came to him. "Pardon, sir," he said, with a low bow. "Were you waiting for anything?" "Yes," replied the consul.

Florence NigiumgLtie, wiiote death vc-curred \u 1911 ai Liie advaueed a^e of aiuety, was a ruvolutiuzuist In tile most splendid sense of tuut term. Sbe it was who revolutionized iiuramg to tiiat extent cliat sho may be considered as tne inotner of tJaat profession. Previous to ber enti-ance into the field the sick were tile victims cf callous ignorance and giaspmg indiffej- ence, but Florence Nightingale lna- cxiuced tne trained, skilled and gentle Ijospital nurse, district nurse aod military nurse of today. Certainly t o f e w women—and to few men—has it been given to serve tneir fellows so splendidly and so effectively. Florence Nightingale found chaos in military hospitals; she created order and all that order implies. After the battle of Alma, in the Crimean war, the military hospital at Scutari was like a dirty shambles. Wounded men died in hundreds in the midst of squalor and vermin. Crowds of poisonous flies buzzed ceaselessly above the sick; medical supplies were in-:.definite; proper food could no', be had; there were no arrangements for w;::;h:njj: or sanitation. The plight of the wounded soldiers, herded together in this hotbed of pestilence, was worse than if they had been left upon the battlefield. "Are there no devoted women amon^ you." wrote Russell, the famous war correspondent" of the Loudon Times, "able and willing to go forth and administer to the sic!: and suffering soldiers in the east In the hospitals at Scutari? Are none of the daughters of England r.t thls^ hour of need ready for such a work of mercy?" This appeal was answered almost instantly. Sidney Herbert w a s then at the head of the war of&ce, and when the authorities began to be inundated by letters from women of,all classes anxious to respond to the call Mr. Herbert's thoughts a t once turned to the Lady who was in his opinion the one woman capable of organizing and taking <"it to the Crimea a staff of nurses. The woman was Florence Nightingale. Miss Nightingale- was thirty-four at the time, and from her childhood she had devoted hei-self to the study of hospital nursinii and hospitul immanent.

Inhabitants chiefly of forest regions, they are nn< known on the open plains. Ordinarily they live in the woods, but are partial also to old pastures or lands not frequently cultivated. From woods, hedges and fence rows they spread into gardens, lawns and cultivated flefds through their own underground tunnels or those of the garden mole. The tunnels made £y pine mice can be distinguished from Those made by moles only by their smaller diameter and the frequent holes that open to the surface.

The same day Florence Nightingale written to the war ollice offerln services iu tbe hospital at Scutari offer showed splendid courage. Within a week of making her resolve, Miss Nightingale had her first contingent? of nurses in marching order. She had selected thirty-eight nurses to accompany her, and they arrived at Scutari on the day before the battle of Inkennan. And without a moment's loss of time that lady in chief and her staff set to work to cleanse the Augean stable which they found waiting for them at the great barrack hospital. Tu a short time the place was entirely renovated. Everything was scrubbed, old clothes were burned, a kitchen and laundry were established, and the place became a comfortable, well organised hospital. Florence Ntehflngnle superintended everything. She worked ns nurd at the routine nnd organizing JJS at the nursing itself. At nil hours of the d;iy nnd night she would walk silently, lamp in hand, through the wards, giving ft word of comfort here or Instruction tuene. She saved the lives literally of hundreds. Wounded men. so horribly mangled that doctors gave them no hope, and other nurses couki not bring themselves to touch them, were savod from death by tlie tireless en re of this one wonderful woman. The nier worshiped the very shadow of this "lady wHta the lamp." The supreme womanliness of the work of M 1 M Nightingale made her tbft Idol of the SagUah people. Three monarch* paid their tribute to her. Remembered by royalty she was not forgotten by the people. On ber return, •battered in health, from Scutari, S280LOOO was presented to ber by a grateful nation.

The mole is seeking earthworms or white grubs that feed upon the tubet*, but mice that follow in the runs eat the potatoes them selves. Depredations by i>tne mice can be found only after digging about the tree and exposing the trunk below the surface. The roots of small trees are often entirely eaten off by pine mice, and pine trees as well as decldnons forest trees, when young, are frequently killed by these animals. For destroying pine mice sweet potatoes nr; a bait have been found effective. They keep well in contact with soil except when there is danger of freezing, nnd are readily eaten by the mice. The baits should be prepared as follows: Cut sweet potatoes into pieces about as large as good sized grapes, r i m e them in a metal pan or tub and wet them with water. Drain off the water and with a tin pepper box slowly sift over them powdered strychnine (alkaloid preferred), stirring constantly so that the poison is evenly distributed. An ounce of strychnine should poison a bushel of the cut bait The bait, whether of grain or pieces of ]>otato, may be dropped Into the pine mouse tunnels through the natural openings or through holes made with a piece of broom handle or other stick. Bird life will not be endangered by these balm. Nightingale was the mother of all present day nurses. — Cleveland Plain Dealer.

BENfSUNGTON. One does not need a large variety of flowers or vegetables to get both pleasure and profit from a garden. I do the planting and much of the work on a plot of about one acre. The products include asters, dahlias, strawberries, tomatoes, celery, string beans, etc. March is none too soon to commence shaping one's plans for the garden. A good catalogue from some reliable seedsman is necessary. My experience has been that It is a mistake to try too many varieties of vegetables. Of peas, tomatoes and cabbage, select two varieties, one early the other late. Of all the other vegetables I find one variety suffices. Order your seeds early, for by the middle of March one can begin operations by sowing tomato, cabbage, and celery seedB in boxes filled with earth. Cigar boxes make a good receptacle for starting plants. They are deep enough and a good size for standing on the window sill. Two hundred plants can be started in one box, The early cabbage and tomato should be started first. If you are going to try celery it should be among the first started. Do not cover the Beed too deep Follow the direction on the package as to depth. Do not get discouraged about re suits, as celery seed germinates very slowly. Keep the top of the earth a! ways moist, and do not look for plants until the third week. When they do show give plenty of light, so that they will not be spindling Tbis also applies to cabbage and to matoes. All of them will grow long threadlike stems, which will be too weak to support themselves, unless given plenty of sunlight. The celery plants can remain in the cigar box much longer than any of the other plants that 1 have suggested for house starting. They grow slowly The tomatoes and cabbage wiil sxm need, larger quarters. As soon as the fourth leaf Is uarder way, they should be planted into> fiats. Mine are about two feet square- and three inches deep. I nailed them up myself, and any other womat witr a few boards, a saw and a hammer, can do as much. Once made they wiU be good for several seasons Do not till with earth to the top. By the time the plants are trans planted in the flatB there will be many days when they can be placed outside for a few hours This should be done whenever possible.

PRIMARIES DRAW ATTENTION Excitement Far Lees Than Four Years AflO, for Few Candidates for Preal dentlal Nomination Have Headquarters In Capital City. re if yea By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—There axe signa of spring in Washington, marked signs of various kinda. The advance guard ol migratory birds has come up the Potomac valley; the big black bird a, purple gracklea, the scientists call them, are stalking across the White House grounds; the hepaticas are peeping from the ground along the bluffs in Rock Creek purk; the forsythia Is bursting Into I loom in the gardens; the crocuses are everywhere, and every other day Inert is a balm In the air which is the forerunner of a heat which before long fill set the asphalt boiling on Pennsyl ?ania avenue. So much for the signs of nature's spring. There Is another sign of spring, however, which is more Interesting to the politicians in Washington than the blooming of Sowers and the return of the birds. It may be called the primary sign of spring, for the awakened interest is in the presi dential primaries throughout the country. Four years ago Washington politicians did not have to wait until the springtime for plenty of excitement and interest specifically political In character. In February, March and April, 1912, there was a political pot boiling near everyone of the principal street corners in the downtown district of this capital city. Lively Spring of 1912. In 1912 every Republican and Democratic candidate for the presidency had his headquarters open tn this city, and the campaign in its intensity, anxiety and interest was like the campaign throughout the country in the late October days of a presidential year. Four years ago the fight for the nomination was on between William Howard Taft, who then was president, and Tneodore Roosevelt. Bulletins were sent forth twice a day from each of the two headquarters. Prominent Republicans from all over the country were pouring into Washington daily and making lively, and on occasion noisy, the headquarters of each of the party candidates. There was life and political news every hour of the day. In the same months of late winter and spring four years ago, all the Democratic candidates for the presidency had headquarters in this town, and in their offices the scenes attending the daily sessions in the Taft and Roosevelt headquarters were repeated. In one place the friends of Harmon of Ohio, gathered. Not far from the Harmon headquarters were those of Wilson of New Jersey, and the efforts in his behalf were just as strenuous and marked by just as much enthusiastic noise as were those in the other quarters of political activity. Just a little way removed from the Wilson headquarters were those of Champ Clark, where the speaker's friends gathered daily to watch the results of the primaries as they came along. The other Democratic candidates, Underwood, Marshall, and the rest, also had their headquarters here, and the noise of acclaim from all the Democratic offices met that which came from the Republican headquarters and the din, if one may so put it, was somewhat terrific. Few Headquarters Thia Year, This year there is a change, but just now enough interest and excitement has been put into the situation to keep the politicians keenly alive to the fact that a presidential campaign is framlnenL There are no Democratic headquarters open here except those of the party itself, for the subdivisions into supporting forces of this candidate or that candidate are no longer in evidence, because seemingly the Democrats have taken it for granted that Woodrow Wilson is to be nomi nated to succeed himself. This may not be a correct view of the case, but it is the view so far as most of the Democrats assembled in Washington are concerned. It Is the fact that presidential primaries have just started In the different states of the Union that baa finally roused Washington to extreme interest in the campaigning. Tola year there are a go xl many Republican candidates for the nomination, but with one or two exceptions they have not opened headquarters in the city of Washington. For the Interest lathe case, the politicians here must look to the primaries as the/ occsr throughout the Union. War Maps in Cabinet Room.

Maps ot eii the countries jti the 'prtjseru' lime ecgaged In war ! feave place* on the a/alJa and with tiiem are mapa of couuincs that uuppoaedly are near to war, and alongeltfk: of ihe&e are maps of those lands wh*ch are i peace, but which by Boaid turn of the wheel may bo brought Into war. The war mapa In the cabinet room are of particular Interest, because by means of pins with rather large and different colored heads the poaitiona of the armies in the different warring countries are shown day by day Not only are the armies positions shown, but the positions as near as they can be told of the fleets of the warring nations are marked ou the maps of the seas of the world. In addition to the maps of the European countries and of Japan and the places in the East which have been scenes of battle during the present war or of the transfer of islands from one allegiance to another, there is a great map of Mexico which includes in its compasB a map of the frontier of the United States In the SoiTh west. On this Mexican map are shown the positions as near as they can be determined of the fighting factions tn Mexico, and upon the map showing the American side of the border are placed little flags, either yellow, white or blue, marking the camping grounds of the regiments and detachments of United States troops now stationed in places from which they can look across the border into the Mexico of turmoil. A large part of the cabinet delibera tions of today, of course, must con cern themselves directly or indirectly with the questions ot war. Getting the News In Washington. Newspaper correspondents in Wash ington divide prominent men in official life into three classes, "good copy,'' "fair copy" and "poor copy.' Some statesmen—politeness and pol icy compel the use of the word for all national legislators—are will lng often to take the public Into their confidence. Others are willing to do BO occasionally, while out of some others it is Impossible to get a word with any means of persuasion short of dynamite. There are, however, some senators and representatives who will say practically nothing and yet they are classed as "good copy," because their characteristics are such that it Is worth while to write of them if one cannot write from them The outer office of the White House is a better place than the capltol itself to learn into which class congressmen fall, according to the newspaper men s views. The president's visitors every day number from scores to hundreds and a considerable part of these vial tors have their seats after twelve o'clock under the dome of the capitoL When the members of congress have finished their talks with President Wil son, they leave him and pass through the room where ordinarily are gath ered ten or a dozen newspaper men ready enough to learn and to write what the great ones of earth have said to the greater one of the earth. There are some members, notably senators, who ran come from the presidential presence with the prom ise of a friend's appointment to the Court of St. James or to that of Berlin in their possession and yet never betray by so much as a sparkle of the eye or a smile that they have received anything better than the prott ise of the appointment of some friend to a postma8tership at an office which pays a few hundreds a year. There are other senators who can no more conceal the fact that they have picked an appointment plum than they can hide the evidence that they are on earth. Cannot Quote Directly. Washington newspaper men cannot quote any official directly without his consent. Sometimes a cabinet officer or senator or representative will say: "Ton can use this and say that I said ft." but more frequently information is conveyed in words like this: "For your own guidance l'will tell you that such and such a thing is likely to bappen. You can use the Information but don't say from whom it comes." If any newspaper man in this town oversteps the r^ark and quotes directly when be should not do so, he gets Into trouble. If It la known that he has coupled an official" name with a statpment without permission other officials will fight shy of him In the future It is only fair to the corre spondents to say that any mistakes of thia kind generally are mads through s misunderstanding Of course the president of the United States never is to be quoted directly eicept on the extremely rare occasions when he gives permission Most of what the president says, bowever, to the newspaper men. directly or through his secretary, geta Into the papers with tome such advance words at "K can be said on high authority/ or "Friends of the president lot It be known today," or something of tots nature. /3* •?

During ilie prevalence of the footand- mouth disease in t>ome portions of the United States, an embargo was placed upon interstate shipments. This also had an effect upon shipments to Canada, and necessarily an embargo was placed upon them, making it almost impossible for upwards of a year to ship cattle into Canada, from the United States. This was especially hard on the settler. As a result, Western Canada lost a number of settlers, they being unable to take their live stock with them. Canada is practically free from horse and cattle diseases, and the wish of the authori ties is to keep it so. Recently, though, an order has been issued by the Department of Agriculture, removing the embargo, and settlers are now free to take in the number of head of horses or cattle that are permitted by the Customs authorities and the freight regulations. This will be welcome news U those whose intention it L« tc rrove to Canada, taking with them stock that they have had in their possession for six months, and, which it is the intention to use on land that they will farm in the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan or Alberta. There are thousands of splendid homesteads of 160 acres each in any of these provinces, that may be had upon the payment of a ten-dollar entry fee and fulfilling the requisite living and cultivation duties. These lands are well adapted to the growing of all the small grains, and besides, having an abundance of grass, and sufficient shelter, they are well adapted to the raising of stock. If one prepares to purchase land, there could be no better time than the present. Prices are low, and particulars may be had from any of the land companion of which there are several, or from the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern railways, whose holdings are in the oldpr Bettled districts, and whose terms are exceedingly easy to the settler. What these lands will do in the matter of production cannot be more strongly emphasized than in reading the reports of the crops throughout all parts of the Canadian West in 1915. Yields of 50, 60, and as high as 70 bushels of wheat to the acre were numerous, while reports of yields of from 'JO to 45 bushels per acre were common. Oats as high as 13u bushels per acre are reported, 50 and 60 bushels per acre being ordinary. The prices realized bv farmers have placed most of them on "^asy street." Lately there have appeared articles in a number of United States newspa pers to the effect that there was consjription in Canada, or that such a law was likely to be put intc effect. We have it from the highest authority in the Dominion that there \H no truth in th«^ statement. Sir Robert Rorclen at the opening of Canadian parliament on January 17th, said: "In the first few months of the war I clearly stated that there would n .<t be conscription in Canada. I repeat that statement today." This statement should set at re3t the consciiption lalk that has be^n so freely used to influence those whe may be considering settling in Canada during the war. It has also been said that there was a war tax on land. Hon. Dr. Roche, Minister of the Interior, over his OTgn signature has denied this, and the premiers of the different provinces join in saying "such a report is absolutely untrue, and has no foundation whatever in fact, nor is there likely ever to be any such tax upon land in Canada." The general prosperity of Western Canada farmers and business institutions is sueh that Canada is well able tc take care of the extra war expenses without any direct war taxation. This has been well illustrated bv the- magnificent response to the Dominion Government's recent bond issue, which was more than dotiblv .subscribed for within the first eight hour* of its being offered to the public. (The above appears as an advertisement and is paid for by the Dominion Government which authorizes iH publication.) GENERAL CARRANZA REFUSES TO LET UNITED STATES SOLDIERS ENTER MEXICO All Mexico To Be In Arms Against United States Soldiers Crossing The Border Is The General View At The White House THE CARRANZA GOVERNMENT BELIEVED TO BE TOPPLING American Invasion Of Mexico To Get Villa And His Bandits, Who Raided American Territory, Will Not Be Tolerated By Carranza Mexico City—General Carranza issued a manifesto to the nation declaring that under no circumstances would the Mexican government grant the right to the Unted States to violate Mexican territory by sending in an armed force in pursuit of Francisco Villa without consent and the reciprocal privilege being first obtained and admitted. Word was sent to the confidential agent of the Mexican government in Washington to make immediate representations to this effect. Part of General Carranza's text to United States follows: "Because of the assault which Francisco Villa and the bandits who accompanied him made on the town of Columbus, in American territory. burning houses and killing some of the inhabitants, soldiers, as well as civilians, the international situation in these moments is very delicate, as the North American press has excited their people against Mexico, and the government of that country has discussed the situation in the American congress, members of which have advised intervention. The constitutional government, which I have the honor to represent, is also occupied dilligently in an effort to solve this delicate situation, trying at all costs to maintain the dignity and sovereignty of Mexico, and we yet hope that this lamentable incident may be decorously arranged, and that there will be no reason for an international conflict." Washington — The conviction is growing in official circles that the American expedition into Mexico to capture Francisco Villa means the be ginning of intervention. Reports of a decidedly disturbing character concerning the attitude of the Carranza government are beginning to arrive. Throughout these reports the threat appears that within 24 hours after the expedition has gotten well under way all Mexico will be in arms against the United States. What attitude Carranza personally assumes appears from these reports to be negligible. With his government already tottering, it is declared that any prom ises of non-interference or co-operation which he may make are unlikely to bind his followers. Rumors of plots among these followers to overthrow him have been reaching the state department in increasing number. Talking privately those through whose hands these reports have passed express the view that one of two things is going to happen. Either Carranza will find himself forced by popular opinion to resist the invasion or his followers will ignore him and lead the resistance. There is growing suspicion that General Obregon is said to have given ear to the suggestion that he himself should be in Carranza's place. Private advices from the border describe American refugees arriving at El Paso from Chihuahua city as declaring that the Carranza garrison there has taken up the cry of "death to the Gringocs." Carranza officials are declared to have openly stated that American troops will not be permitted to pass through the town. (Conducted by the National Womtua'i Christian Temperance Union.) LABOR AND PROHIBITION. 'The trend of sentiment of organized labor is towards prohibition," aaid Richard Jones of Duluth, a member of the Minnesota state senate, speaking before the Scandinavian Socialist organization. "Some trade union leaders claim that prohibition would make for nonemployment- If this is so why have locomotive engineers to the number of 70,000 indorsed it? If prohibition is Inimical to the interests of labor, why did the southern labor congress, composed of men from nine southern states, refuse to ask for a repeal of the prohibition laws of the South, when requested to do so by the United Brewery Workmen of America? L o - cal labor leaders may insist that the saloon is a poor man's club, but the American Federation of Labor at its convention at Toronto condemned the use of that term. "We are urged not to vote men out of employment in a business which is destructive to society. I would vote those men out of that employment and into something valuable to themselves and their fellow men. I would like to have a chance to vote about 6,000,000 men in Europe out of their present Jobs. If this principle applies in one case why not in another? To advocate peace in Europe would throw thousands of workmen in America who are engaged in the manufacture of munitions of war out of their present employment, but thousands of trade unionists and Socialists are today doing all in their power to spread antimilitaristic propaganda among their fellow workers." EX-SENATOR H. G. DAVIS DIES SEWER BLASTS INJURES TWO Was Twice Elected to the United 'Gasoline Leakage Run. Into Sewer States Senate. Washington—Henry Gaesaway D'ivis, former United States senator from West Virginia and vice-presidential candidate on the Democratic tick- ; et in 1904, died here early Saturday morning after a brief illness, aged wP, years. Although Henry Gassaway Davis earned his first dollar as an employe on a Maryland plantation, it was as a railroad brakeman that he began the active career that put him in the ranks of the Aladdins of American life. From railroad employe he hei came successively merchant, banker, railroad ow-ner, founder of two towns ' and the largest single owner of coal and timber lands in the United States. While accumulating a large fortune he found time to devote to Democratic politics; was twice elected to the United States senate and at the age of 81 was nominated for the vice-presidency. and Caused Explosion. ASSESSMENTS ARE BOOSTED Detroit — Injuring two persons, hurling sewer covers hundreds of • feet in the air, breaking water mains, smashing windows, tearing up thousa n d s of tons of concrete pavement and shaking houses for miles around, ' Scotten avenue was blown up for a 'distance of two miles when the 'sewer exploded at 8:55 o'clock Sunday night. The explosion was caused by the leakage of 9,400 gallons of gasoline from a 10,000 gallon tank car jthat stood on the Michigan Central 'tracks at Scotten avenue. The gasoline found its way into the sewer and the vaporization caused the upheavel. The damage to city property was I placed, roughly, at 1500,000. However, this figure may be greatly in- 1 creased. | Scotten avenue was torn up from Fort to Jackson streets. Concrete three feet thick was hurled in all directions and the covers of the sewer mains were found in every Instance [ from 100 to 150 feet away. SHORT-SIGHTED POLICY. In the Judgment of many, it is difficult to understand why preparedness to meet a remotely possible attack by a foreign foe should take precedence i over preparedness to conquer and I overwhelm a known foe in our midst, | who is every day defying us, and whose toll of death and disease rivals | that of the battlefields of Europe, says the Union Signal, official organ of the National W. C. T. U. There is posi sibly one chance in a thousand that our fathers, brothers, husbands and sons may be called upon at some future time to defend the safety of this country from an alien* enemy, but there is a positive certainty that every day and night of every week until the liquor traffic is put out of existence it will injure thousands of our young men, physically, mentally and spiritually; and that this injury will not end with this generation, but will affect disastrously the next generation. A policy so short-sighted that it neglects to guard against a recognized, Immediate, continuing peril of gigantic proportions in order to prepare for one which may never have to be faced, Is unworthy of enlightened America. Everyone Should ... Drink Hot Water in the Morning Wash away all the stomach, liver, and bowel poison* before breakfast. To feel your best day in and day out, to feel clean inside^ no sour bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, bilious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism or gassy, acid stom~ ach, you must bathe on the inside like you bathe outside. This is vastlymore important, because the . s k i n pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do, says a well-known physician. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful ot limestone phosphate in it. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food into the stomach. Get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your druggist or at the store. It is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except a sourish tinge which is not unpleasant. Drink phosphated hot water every morning to rid your system of these vile poisons and toxins; also to prevent their formation. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became saturated with an accumulation of body poisons, begin this treatment and above all, keep it up! As soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and purifying, so limestone phosphate and hot water before breakfast, act on the stomach* liver, kidneys and bowels.—Adv. ;4 SUNDAY REST FOR POLICE, The blotters at police headquarters in Duluth, Minn., are, says Chief Mc-" Kercher, illustrated temperance lectures. On Saturday forty arrests were made, most of them on charges of drunkenness. That included Sunday morrAig until seven o'clock. A clean sheet was put on the blotter Sunday morning at that hour. At eight p. m. there was not a name on it. At 8:30 there was one arrest—a man who was wanted in another town on a charge of passing worthless checks. Saturday, a big day in the saloon business—result, forty arrests. Sunday dry—result, no arrests for drunkenness. "If that isn't an argument for temperance," says the chief, "I don't know what is."

This is an example of what is being done by the state tax commission in the work of assessing all of Detroit's property on a 100 per cent basis, it is said, and Auditor Charles A. Buhrer estimates that the increase in the county of Wayne assessment will be no less than $300,000,000 when the state board of equalization meets in August.

He Knew. Ben Blewett recently visited the Benton school and was much inter* ested in listening to a primary class recite physiology which happened to be on the subject of the atomach. After the recitation Blewett gave a short talk on the subject and among other things said: "And remember, children, that the stomach is one of the busy organs of the body that has no bone3 in it." At this statement he noticed a troubled look on the face of a bright little red-haired boy and said kindly: "Why, Francis, what's the trouble? Did you think there were bones in the stomach?" "Some people have, Mr. Blewett. Our baby's got a bone in his stomach, all right. He swallowed the dollar dad gave me for Christmas last night." — St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Financiers Still Working. Everybody in the financial district seems to be on the Job these days. As a rule, the moneyed men of Wall street have been in the habit of taking a vacation twice a year In the winter they nummer at Palm F^ach and in the summer they winter in Switzerland or at some health resort in Europe. Last year was an exception on account of the new situation in the winter created by the war and the active bull market of the summer. At the present time the foreign situation is keeping the men of finance in New York, although their families may be in the South or California. There is no wandering away from the stock ticker nowadays while it is performing gymnastics. There is too much at stake.—New York Times. STOPPED SHORT Taking Tonics* and Built up ore Right Food.

Wesley CoriwriKht and hi? daughter, Genevieve, ot the auto party and explain* the reclamation work to them. Cortwright seen In the project a big chance to rmcke money. Brouillard 1s Impervious to hints from the financier. who tells Genevieve thai the engineer "Will come down und hook himself if the bait la Well covertd." Cortwright organizes a company and obtains government contracts to furnish power and material for the dam construction. A busy city springs up about the site. Steve Massln- .gale threatens to start a gold rush if Broulllard does not influence President Ford to build a railroad branch to the place, thus opening an easy market for the ore from the "Little Susan" mine. Brouillard and the company's promoter clash, but on orders from Washington. Brouillard turns over the plana for the power installation.

C H A P T E R V I l ~ C o n t i n u e d . i *v. fca&v To his utter amazement the blue eyes filled suddenly. But the owner of the eyes was winking the tears away and laughing before he could could put tbe amazement into words "You shouldn't hit out like that when one isn't looking; it's wicked," • h e protested. "Besides, the railroad i s coming; it's got to come." "It is still undecided," he told her mechanically. "Mr. Ford is coming over with the engineers to have a conference on the ground with—with the Cortwright people. I am expecting htm any day." "And the government?" "The department is holding entirely aloof, as it should. Everyone in the reclamation service knows that no good can possibly come of any effort to force .the region ahead of its normal and natural development And, besides, none of us here in the valley want to help blow the Cortwright bubble any higher than it has to be." "Then you will advise against the fcuildlng of the extension?" Instead of answering her Question h e asked one of his own. "What does It mean to you—to you. personally, apart from the money your father might make out of it, Amy?" She hesitated a moment and then m e t the shrewd scrutiny of his gaze with open candor. "The money is only a means to an end—as yours will be. You know very well what I meant when I told you t h a t three times we have been obliged to come back to tbe mountains to—to t r y again. I dreaded the coming of your camp; I dread a thousand times more the other qhanges that are coming— the temptations that a mushroom city will offer. This time father has promised me that when he can make his stake he will go back to Kentucky and settle down; and he will keep his promise. More than t h a t Stevie has promised me that he will go, too, if he can have a stock-farm and raise fine horses—his one healthy ambition. Now you know it all." He reached up from the lower step where he was standing and took her hand. "Yes; and 1 know more than t h a t I know that you are a mighty brave little girl and that your load Is heavier than mine—worlds heavier. But you're going to win out; if not today or tomorrow, why. then, the day after. It's written in the book." She returned his handgrip of en couragement impulsively and smiled down upon him through quick-spring ing tears. T o m l ! win out, too. Victor, because a strong man; you have a of strength that is greater t men's full gift: you can cut and slash your way to the thing you really want, and nothing can stop you But— you'll forgive me for being plain, won't you?—there is a little.

"1 wish you hadn't bald that, Amy— about the ideals." "I don't know what you mean," she said simply. "Perhaps it is Just as well that you don't. Let's talk about something else—about the railroad. President Ford hasn't decided; he won't decide until he has looked the ground over and had a chance to confer with me." She bridged all the gaps with swift intuition. "He means to give you the casting vote? He will build the exten sion if you advise it? Then it will lie in your hand to make us rich or to keep us poor," she laughed, _ "Be a good god-in-the-car, please, and your petitioners will ever pray." Then, with an instant return to seriousness: "But you mustn't think of that—of course, you won't—with so many other and greater things to consider." "On the contrary, I shall think very pointedly of that; pointedly and regretfully— because your brother has made it practically Impossible for me to help." "My brother?" with a little gasp. "Yes. He offered to buy my vote with a block of 'Little Susan' stock. That wouldn't have been so bad if he hadn't talked about it—" "When Mr Ford comes you must forget what Stevie said and what I have said. Qood-by." An hour later Brouillard was closeted In his log-built office quarters with a big, fair-faced man, whose rough tweeds and unbrushed soft hat proclaimed him fresh from the dusty-dry reaches of the Quesado trail. "It is your own opinion that I want. Victor," the fair-faced man was saying, "not the government engineer's. Can we make the road pay if we bring it here? That is a question which you can answer better than any other living man. You are here on the ground and you've been here from the first" "You've had it out with Cort wright?" Brouillard asked. And then: "Where is he now—in ChicagoV "No. He is on his way to the Ntquoia, coming over in his car from El Gato. But never mind J. Wesley. You are the man I came to see." "I can give you the facts," waB the quiet rejoinder. A smile wrinkled at the corners of the big man's eyes. "You are dodging the issue, Victor, and you know it," he objected. "What I want Is your personal notion. If you were the executive committee of the Pacific Southwestern, would you. or would you not, build the extension? That's the point I'm trying to make." Brouillard got up and went to the window. When he turned back to the man at the desk he was frowning thoughtfully, and his eyes were the eyes of one who Bees only the clearly etched lines of a picture which obscures all outward and visual objects. . . . the picture he saw was of a sweet-faced young woman, laughing through her tears and saying: "Besides, the railroad Is coming; it's got to come." "If you put it that way," he said to the man who was waiting, "if you insist on pulling my private opinion out by the roots, you may have i t I'd build the extension." CHAPTER VIII MirapoEs monlrlng third at the circular table. The little dinner had been a gustatory triumph. Nevertheless, when Mlsa Cortwright had gone upstalnj. and the waiter would have refilled his glass. Brouillard shook his head. the power company the government. which will always be the largest consumer, should be represented in some effective way; that Its interests should be carefully safeguarded. It lu not so easy as u might seem. We can't exit tho millionaire saw the refusal he i ttcliy make ihe government a stock During the strenuous weeks when Camp Nlquoia's straggling Btreet was acquiring plank sidewalks and getting itself transformed into Chigringo avenue, with a double row of false-fronted "emporiums" to supplant the shack shelters, Monsieur Poudrecaulx Bongra8, late of the San Francisco tenderloin, opened the camp's first counter grilL Finding monsieur's name impossible in both halves of It. the camp grinned and rechristened him "Poodles." Later, discovering his dual gift of past mas tership in potato frying and coffee making, the camp gave him vogue Out of the vogue sprang in swift succession a cafe with side tables, a restaurant with private dining rooms, and presently a omm odious hotel where the food was excellent the appointments luxurious, and where J a c k - clothed and in his right mind and with money in his hand—was as good as his master. It was in out of Bongras private dining rooms that Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright was entertaining Bronlljard. with Mis* Oenwvieve to make a bar. was too wise to remark it. He was still the frank, outspoken money maker, hot upon the trail of the nimble dollar. Yet there was a change of some kind. Brouillard had marked it on the day, a fortnight earlier, when (after assuring himself morosely that he would not) he had gone down to the lower canyon portal to see the Cortwright touring car finish Its second race across the desert from til Gato. "Of course 1 was quite prepared to have you stand off and throw stones at our little cob house of a venture, Brouillard," the host allowed at the lighting of the gold-banded cigars "You're the government engineer and the builder of the big dam; but you can't build your dam in one day. or in two, and the interval ia ours I tell you, we're going to make Mirapolis a buzz-hummer while the daylight lasts. Don't you forget that." "'Mirapolis?' queried Brouillard. "Is that the new name?" Cortwright laughed and nodded. "It's Gene's name—'Miracle City.' Fits like the glove on a pretty girl's arm, doesn't it?" "It does. But the miracle is that there should be any money daring enough to invest itself In the Nlquoia " "Why, blesB your workaday heart. Brouillard," chuckled the host, "nothing is permanent In this shuffling, growing, progressive world of ours— absolutely nothing. Some of the big gest and costliest buildings in New York and Chicago are built on ground leases. Our ground lease will merely be a little shorter in the factor of time." "So much shorter that the parallel won't hold," argued Brouillard. "The parallel does hold; long time, small profits and a slow return; short time, big profits and a quick return. You've eaten here before; what do you pay Bongras for a reasonably good dinner?" Brouillard laughed. "Oh, Poodles He cinches us, all right; four or five times as much as it's worth—or would cost anywhere else." "That's i t He knows he has to make good on all these little luxuries he gives you—cash in every day, as you might say, and come out whole be fore you stop the creek and drown him. When we get in motion we're going to have Alaska faded to a frazzle on prices—and you'll see everybody paying them Joyfully." "And in the end somebody, or the final series of somebodies, will be left to hold the bag," finished Brouillard "There needn't be any bag holders, Brouillard. Let me put it in a nut shell: we're building a cement plant, and we shall sell you the output—at a good, round price, 1 promise you, but still at a lower figure than you're paying for the imported article now, or than you will pay even after the railroad gets In. When our government orders are filled we can afford to wreck the plant for what it will bring." "That Is only one Instance," objected the guest. "Well, Bongras, here, is one more," laughed the host. "And our power plant is another. You made your little kick on that to Washington—you thought the government ought to control its own power. That was all right, from your point of view, but we beat you to ft Now the reclamation service gets all the power it needs at a nominal price, and we're going to sell enough more to make us all feel happy." "Sell it? To whom?" Mr. Cortwright leaned back in his chair and the sandy-gray eyes seemed to be searching the inner recesses of the querying soul "That's inside information, but I don't mind taking you in on it," he said between leisurely puffs at his cigar. "We've Just concluded a few contracts: one with Massingale—he's going to put in power drills, electric orecars, and a modern equipment gener ally and shove the development of the 'Little Susan;' one with a new mining syndicate which will begin operations at once on half a dozen prospects on Jack's mountain: and one with a lum ber combination that has just taken over the sawmills, and will install oth ers. with a planing mill and sash factory." Brouillard nodded. The gray eyes were slowly hypnotizing him. "But that isn't all." continued the promoter. "We are about to refneor porate the power plant as the Nlquoia Electric Power, Lighting and Traction company. Within a fortnight well be lighting, Mirapolis. and within a month after the railroad gets in we'll be oper ating trolley cars." The enthusiast paused to let the Information sink in. also to note tbe effect upon the subject. Tbe noting was apparently satisfactory, since b» went on with the steady assurance of one who sees his way dearly "That brings us down to business.

It was rid of all the trash by negro children in the neighborhood. Then they planted a vegetable and flower garden on the plot and had fine success with the enterprise. Can't we do something equally good with some of the vacant lot eyesores in this town? The lower picture §hows what can be done with a ragged, good-for-nothing side yard. It took a great deal of persuasion to wake up the owners and tenants of the property, but once aroused they made up for lost time—as the neat garden indicates. This is a lesson for us. F% N UP and Paint Up" bat become a nation-wide slogan in the Interests of homes and towns beautiful since Allen W. Clark, a St. Louis publisher, organized the National "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign bureau in May, 1912. Mr, Clark, for many years Identified with the Amen- •can paint trade, sought to arouse and organise Into a single national moven e a t the "clean up" spirit which stirs each spring in every normal man and voman and nearly erery thriving com* jneeity. The first year something like LOCK) t o v s * aad cities conducted local clean 'ip Mid paint up campaigns based on jtlftas sugfested by the national bu- 7«*a. This number baa increased each -fmrmtfl in 1915 approximately 6,000 - _ toejnl campaigns were organised.

The creator gave to the country a peculiar charm. Beauty—beauty of blade and blossom, of hill and hollow, of daydawn and sunset—comes as the birthright of every person who is country born. In the springtime nature writes in pink her orchard proclamation of plenty, and in late summer and fall time fills the fields with grains of gold. Sometimes civilisation has cluttered, but never has nature. Whatever there is of ugliness in the great out of doors is man made. Means Better Health. Beauty is a part of the farmer's unearned increment Health, too. should be for him and his—health and happiness, best of ancient blessings so often wished for friends. Because we "absorb environments," a farm clean up day may result In better living, higher thinking—yes, and better health. It may also play no small part in the solution of a big problem. of keeping on the farms of the a large number of agiicultura »x_ trained and efficient men and Such as these will find in their work not only a living, but a life. They will share in the spirit of joy in the excellence of production. There is much work for a farm clean up day. It may be that there are disease breeding places that need attention. The appearance of the barn yard—often such as to suggest that various old vehicles and farm implements had taken fright and backed into the corners—might be changed tor the better. Maybe there 1s a com poet heap—rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and vahiable as a fertiliser if spread over the fields, but in its present place an incubator for Insects and dangeroua as a possible aouree of fever. Flowers and New Paint. If mother is fond of flowers, and usually the (a, the farm clean up day might mean a new flower bed or perhapa a fence fixed so as to protect aa old one. There may be a gate that too long has sagged and creaked or thai needs painting, and it so the R F. D. mail box is sure to need brightening up. Whitewash on poultry or other buildings will work wonders. Before the day's work is done, prompted by a new pride in the place. It may be that the farmer will display the farm name near the main entrance to the place. States, counties, a communities, churches, schools or farmer!' clube may proclaim farm clean op days, but best of all each Individual farmer may have his own. Don't Neglect to Paint. it is apparent to even the casual observer that many property ownere let their rented houses, or houaee for rent, go too long without painting. This neglect makes the houses look unsightly but also hastens the day of decay. A little paint ts a good investment from every viewpoint. It preserves the wood and it keeps the houses rented. The writer visited an niinois town last spring and after a careful Observation found not a single house which was not well and fairly recently painted. There had just been a clean up aad paint up campaign. The Impreasion left was one or a thriving town where a man would like to live and bring up a family. The yards were well kept, with lawns, flower beds and shrubbery, and each nouseholder seemed -to vie with his neighbor in making his place look attractive. New Sterilizing Agent.

Forms Uric Acid. We are a nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid, says a well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kidney trouble. The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the overwork; they get sluggish; the eliminative tisanes clog and thus the waste is retained In the blood to poison the enure system. When your kidneys ache and feel like lumps of lead, and you have stinging pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad^ tier ia irritable, obliging yoa to seek relief during the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts Is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Hthia, and has been used for generations to flush jtnd stimulate clogged kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine so It is no longer a source of Irritation, thus ending urinary and bladder disorders. Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot mjure; makes a delightful effervescent Hthia-water drink, and nobody «can make a mistake by taking a little occasionally to keep the kidneys clean and active.—Adv.

Navy without adding a ship to it. It took over 8,000 miies out of the trip from New York to San Francisco and changed the highway between London and Australia from Suez to Panama. Efficiency insures against lost motion—it produces the utmost service out of equipment and yields the finest product, at the least cost. Certain-teed Roofing is an efficiency product Every advantage that men, money and machinery can offer is used to increase the production, maintain the quality and lower the cost. Each of the General's enormous mills is advantageously located to serve the ends of efficient manufacture and quick distribution. Each is equipped with the most up-to-date machinery. Raw materials are purchased in enormous quantities and far ahead of the needs ©^manufacturing, thus guarding against increased cost due to idle machinery. This also insures favorable buying, and the pick of the market. Expert chemists at each mill are employed to select and blend the asphalts, and every roll of CERTAIN-TEED is made under their watchful care. CERTAIN-TEED resists the drying-out process so destructive t*> ordinary roofing, because the felt is thoroughly saturated with a blend of soft asphalts, prepared under the formula of the General's board of expert chemists. It is then coated with a blend of harder asphalts, which keeps the inner saturation soft.- This makes a roofing more pliable, and more impervious to the elements than the harder, drier kind. CERTAIN-TEED is made in roDs; also in slate-surfaced shingles. There is a type of CERTAINTEED for every kind of building, with fiat or pitched roofs, from the largest sky-scraper to the smallest residence or out-building. CERTAIN-TEED is guaranteed for 5, 10 or 15 years, according to pry ( 1 , 2 or 3). Experience proves that it lasts longer. General Roofing IVortY*. ALCOHOL AFFECTS A R T E R I E 8 .

W a s h i n g t o n — E v e r y effort is being made by the administration to bring to a speedy conclusion the chase into Mexico after Villa. Orders have been sent to Brigadier General Pershing to lose no time in rounding up the bandit chief. Reports of a disturbing character which have been received from the border have convinced officials that the longer the American forces are in Mexico the graver is the danger of serious trouble with the entire nation below the border. From authoritative sources the information is obtained that the situation is more delicate gf present than • n . ; • . . - • • it has been at any time since the troopers demounted and in t r oops crossed the border.

By GEORGE C L I N T O N . Washington.—Since the war In Europe started thousands upon thousands of decorations of various kinds have been given to the Boldiers of kaiser, king, president or sultan. A few Americans, there are only a few in the service of foreign potentates, also have been decorated, some of them for conspicuous personal gallantry. One non-combatanf American newspa per man has been given a decoration in recognition of bravery on the field. No American who Is In the employ of the government of the United States is allowed to receive any decoration from a foreign state without special permission of congress. It happened that the newspaper man who was given the decoration for bravery on the battlefield is connected with a news gathering association which has a rule of its own that none of its employees shall accept a decoration from a foreign government. Because of the special e'reumstances In the case, this rule was foregone in the case in hand and the correspondent, who had shown courage on a battlefield In Poland, was allowed to receive and to wear the ribbon and medal given in recognition of bis high conduct In the face of danger For AM Kinds of 8ervlces. In the state department there is a case which virtually Is filled with alt klndB of decorations, watches, fobs and other things which It was the intention of foreign governments to present to American officials. The presents of kingdoms, empires or republics which are now 1n the care of the state department were given for all kinds of services. Most of those for whom they were Intended were ambassadors, ministers, consuls, consular agents, or military and naval attaches stationed In foreign parts. Congress once In a while has granted permission to Individuals who are In the state Rervlce to receive decorations and on one or two occasions It has disposed of a hundred or so of the decorations at once hy giving genera! permission to take them and wear them. The gifts now In the possession of the state department represent the accumulation of a year or two and there they wil] stay until congress acts A Little Shop Talk. Once every four years In Washington it is perhaps permissible for the newspaper men to talk shop. There are five Washington chron Iclers now who are having their troubles. They are the members of the standing committee of correspond ents. Their names and those of the papers which they represent are Richard V. Oluahan, New York Times; Le» roy T. Vernon, Chicago News; H. B. C. Bryant, Raleigh News and Observer; Earl Godwin, Washington Star, and William B. Brigham. Boston Transcript There are to be held this year three political national conveLtlons—Democratic, Republican and Progressive. While tbe managers, if they may so be called, of the conventions have final power in tbe matter they act In the matter of assignment of seats in the press stand largely on the recommendations of the standing committee of Washington correspondents Of course this committee doea not attempt to do anything more than to see to it if it can that the newspapers and the press associations get what they are entitled to In the matter of seats at the press tables. The standing committee of correspondents has other duties to perform. The convention seat duty is only a matter of concern once in four years. The committee baa constant work through the years. A new committee is elected Just prior to the convening of each incoming congresa The chief duty of the members is to pass on the applications of the persons who desire admission to tbe press galleries during the sessions of congress Only for the Workers- It might be said here that oo one Is allowed In the gallery eitber In house or senate who is not a bona Ode newspaper correspondent engaged In bis work of collecting and sending out news from the capitol No senator or representative ever tries to gat admission to tbe gallery for the parpoae of hearing the debate, eltbar far himself or Tor his friends. If ha should at* tempt to get a seat in aha taUary or to get a friend a seat tfcara, his desire woaid be thwarted, a a i tfca proper mttteas of nongraanj sssajal uphold in their action in abutting out from the gat lery even so high a personage as s member of congress of thu United Stains. lo the city of Waahington there are about 220 newspaper corre»poudeuu who are entitled to admiaalou to to i press galleries. They represent oewb papers located in towns from Califor uia to Maine and from Wabhingion to Florida In addition to iheae corre bpouueots there are hundreds of oth ers wno are engaged simply lo writing magazine stories, impressions of legia lutioQ and books Correspondent* wOuse *ork is along these lines are not admitted to the press gallery. The press galleries, under the rules of congress, are under the control ot the standing committee of correspond ents. subject to the approval of the speaker of the house of representatives and the supervision and control of the benate committee on rules. It is oot once in a decade that either house or senate tries to effect any change tn the system of government of the press galleries which has been established oy the standing committee of newspaper men Getting the News. Thus far this year ^President Wilson has not resumed his form er semi weekly confeTeuces, cr better, perhaps, conversations with Washington newspaper correspond ents. It was the custom of the correspondents to call on the president on Tuesday morninf and again on Thursday afternoon to get from him j such Impressions as they could con | cernlng matters of national moment. ! The war problem is responsible tor [ the fact that these meetings between • the writers and the chief executive have not been renewed. i In times of diplomatic anxiety when ; the task of a great nation is to main- ' tain its neutrality, it is almost Inevitable that questions should concern themselves with the matters most in the minds of the people. Diplomacy is a delicate subject, and tt is probablo that Mr. Wilson came to the conclusion that it was better to call tbe conference off rather than to make it possible that some misundertandlng of the government's position might be made possible through an Internationa* misconstruction of what was said. When Mr. Wilson first came into office he was guarded and apparently fearful lest he be misquoted. He gained confidence after a while and talked more freely to newspaper men. giving them an insight into the workings of his mind and a certain intimacy with his plans fcr forwarding legislation to which hlr party was pledged. He always was careful, however, not to say anything i'j a proposal form which, as coming from him would, In newspaper parlance, "make tbe first page." One morning at a White House conference at which some thirty correspondents were present things were drifting along rather aimlessly when the president suddenly said that a pernicious lobby was at work in Washington. Then he added that he had datly evidence of the existence of Buch a lobby, and he also said in effect that It was useless for interested ones to say that evil influences were not being exerted to defeat perfectly proper legislation. Virtually this was the first time that Mr. Wilson bad given the correspondents a real story. It was early in his administration. When the president had said what he did, it was instantly suggested to him that if he would allow himself to be quoted It would help things much. Then Mr. Wilson FilGfl PRICES And Good Demand for AH Farm Products. It is no new experience for settlers located in a fertile country such a.n Western Canada, where lands may be bought at very reasonable prices, to harvest a crop that in one season pays the entire cost of their farm. Undoubtedly this was the experience of many farmers during 1915, but one instance may be quoted. A settler who came to Canada from the United States j some years ago decided to add to his ; holdings by buying an adjoining quarter section near his home at Warner, at $20.00 an acre, with terms spread over a period of years. He got th«j land into a good state of cultivation and last spring put the whole quarter section in wheat. When the crop waa , threshed he found that it only took half the wheat on the farm to pay the I whole purchase price of it; in short ! a single year's crop paid the cost of ! the land, paid all the expenses of opi eration and left him a handsome surj plus as profit. This settler had some | adjoining land, and his whole wheat j crop for the season amounted to '• over 18,000 bushels. He is now plan- ! ning to obtain some sheep and invest his profits in live stock which will a-s- ' sure him a good living irrespective of , what the season may happen to be. Canada's financial position is excellent. All speculation has been eliminated, and trading is done on a cash basis, with restricted credit. Detailed figures of Canada's trade for twelve months ending October 31 show how the war is forcing Canadian trade into new channels. One of the most extraordinary changes is in commerce with the United States. A couple of years ago Canada imported from the United States two or three hundred million dollars' worth of goods more than she exported. The balance of trade was all with the Unite States. The balance is rapidly disappearing, and the present outlook is that by the end of this year Canada will have exported to the United States mor than she has imported. The figures for the past four years are illuminating. They are as follows: Exports. 1912 $145,721,650 1913 179,050,796 1914 213,493,406 1915 314,118,774 Four years ago, in 1912, the balance of trade in favor of the United States was no less than two hundred and sixty-seven millions, and this year, the balance is reduced to only thirty-two millions. The figures are extraordinary and reflect the changed and new conditions in Canada. It looks as if for the first time in nearly half a century this year Canada will sell more to the United States than she will buy from the Americans.— Advertisement.

When the charge that a lobby bad been at work and waa at work waa published, many of the senators and representatives made light of the accusation and said that Mr. Wilson would have to work to prove what he had said. Within a few hours the president undertook to prove his charge and the lobby investigation of comparatively recent history was on.

Isn't this country suffering right now from too much of just that sort of thing ? CHAPTER IX The Speedway It was tn the days after he had found on his desk a long envelope inclosing a certificate for a thousand shares of stock In the Niquoia Electric Power, Lighting and Traction company that Brouillard began to lose his nickname of "Heirs-Fire" among his workmen, with the promise of attaining, In due time, to the more affectionate title of "the Little Big Boss." At the envelope-opening mote ent. however, he was threatened with an attack of heart failure. It was scarcely believable. But a hastily sought Interview with the company's president cleared the air of all the incredibilities. "Why, my dear Broulllard! what in Sam Hill do you take us for?" was the genial retort when the young engineer had made his deprecatory protest "Did you think we were going to cut the melon and hand you out a piece of the rind? Not so, my dear boy; we are not built on any such narrow-gauge lines. That's what we are willing to pay for a good, reliable government brake. It's going to be your business to see to It that the reclamation service gets exactly what its contract calls for. kilowatt for kilowatt" "I'd do that, anyhow, as chief of construction on the dam." "You mean you would try to do t t As an officer of the power company, you can do It; as an official kicker on the outside, yon couldn't fease us a particle. What? You'd put us out of holiness? Not much, you wouldn't; we'd play politics with you and s e t a man for year job who wouldn't kick." "Well," said the Inheritor of sudden wealth, still matching the promoter's mood, "you won't get me fired now, that's one comfort When will yon want my expert opinion on your auxiliary dam?" "On our dam, you mean. Oh, any time toon; say tomorrow or Friday— or Saturday, if that hurries yon too math. We sha'n't want to go to work on tt before Monday." Being himself an exponent of the modern theory that the way to do things is to do them now, Brouillard accepted the hurry order without comment Celerity, swiftness of accomplishment that was almost magical, had become the Mlrapolitan order of the day. Plans conceived overnight ; leaped to their expositions in things done as if the determination to do them had been all that was necessary to their realisation. "You shall have the report tomorrow," said t h e newly created consulting engineer, "hat yon can't go to work Monday. The labor market is empty, and I'm taking It for granted that you're not going to stampede my ahorelers and concrete men." "Oh, no." concluded the city bander, "We sbs/nt do that You'll admit—in your capacity of government watch dog—that we hare played fair in that We have imported every workwe've needed, and we shall Ismmore. That's one thing/ us can afford to do—hull the market And it won't be necessary; we have a trainload of Italians and Bulgarians on the way to Quesedo today, and they ought lo be here by Monday." "You are a wonder, Mr. Cortwright," was Brouillard'B tribute to the worker of modern miracles, and he went his way to ride to the upper end of the valley for the exploring purpose. On the Monday, as President Cortwright had so confidently predicted, the train load of laborers had marched in over the War Arrow trail and the work on the auxiliary power dam was begun. On the Tuesday a small army of linemen arrived to set the poles and to string the wires for the lighting of the town. On the Wednesday there were fresh accessions to the army of builders, ajid the freighters on the Quesado trail reported a steady stream of artisans pouring In to rush the city-making. On the Thursday the grading and paving of Chigringo avenue was begun, and, true to his promise. Mr. Cortwright was leaving a right of way in the street for the future trolley tracks. And it was during this eventful week that the distant thunder of the dynamite brought the welcome tidings of the pushing of the railroad grade over the mountain barrier. Also —but this was an item of minor importance— it was on the Saturday of this week that the second tier of forms was erected on the great dam and the stripped first section of the massive gray foot-wall of concrete raised ttJlit in mute but eloquent protest | | i | t t j the feverish activities of the SBtBjfdsV f workers. If the protest were a tht*Jf£ it was far removed. Many things might happen before the gray wall should rise high enough to cast its shadow, and the shadow of the coming end, over the miraculous city of the plain. It was Brouillard himself who put this thought into words on the Sunday when he and Grislow were looking over the work of form raising and finding It good. "Catching you, too, is it, Victor?" queried the hydrographer, dropping easily into his attitude of affable cynicism. "I thought it would. But tell me, what are some of the things that i may happen?" "It's easy to predict two of them; I Some people will make a pot of money and some will lose out." Grislow nodded. "Of course you don't take any stock in the rumor that the government will call a halt?" Brouillard was shaking his head slowly. "I don't pretend to have opinions any more, Grtzzy. I'm living from day to day. if the tall should get big enough to wag the dog—" They were in the middle of the high staging upon which the puddlers worked while filling the forms and Grislow stopped short. "What's come over you, lately, Victor? I won't say you're half-hearted, but you're certainly not the same driver you were a few weeks ago, before the men quit calling you 'Hell's Fire.'" Broulllard smiled grimly. "It's going to be a long job, Grlzzy. Perhaps I saw that I couldn't hope to keep keyed up to concert pitch all the way through. Call it that, anyway. I've promised to motor Miss Cortwright to the upper dam this afternoon, and it's time to go and do i t " It was not until they were climbing down from the staging at the Jack's Mountain approach that Grislow acquired the ultimate courage of his convictions. "Going motoring, you said—with Miss Genevieve. That's another change. Tm beginning to believe in your seven-year hypothesis. You are no longer a woman-hater." "Oh, bally I There are times when yon make me feel as If I had eaten too much dinner, Gristy! This is one of them. Put It In words; get It out of your system." "It needs only three words: Yon are hypnotized. A month ago this citybuilding fake looked as crazy to you as it still does to those of us who havent been invited to sit down and take a hand tn Mr. Cortwright's little game. Now yon seem to have gone over to the other side. Yon hobnob with Cortwright and do office work for him. You know his fake is a fake; and yet I overheard yon boosting it the other night in Poodles' dining room to a tableful of money maniacs as If Cortwright were giving you a rake-off." Brouillard stiffened himself with s jerk as he paced beside his accuser, but he kept his temper. "You're an old friend, Ghlsxy. and a mighty good one—as I have had occasion to prove. It is your privilege to ease your mind. Is that all?" "No. You a r e letting Genericve Cortwright make a fool of you. tf you were only half sane you'd see that *he is a confirmed trophy hunter. WLy, she even gets down to young Griffithand uses him to dig out Information about you. 8he—" "Hold on, Murray: there's a limit and you 11 bear with me if I say that yon are working up to tt now." Brouillard's jaw was set and the lines between his eyes were deepening. "J doaVsjurw what yon are'drtvtng a t but you'd better call tt o i l I can take care of myself." "If 1 thought you could—tf 1 only thought you could," said Grislow musingly. "But the Indications all lean the other way. It would be al) right if you wanted to marry ber and she wanted you to; but you don't—and she doeen t And, besides, there's Amy; you owe ber something, don't you—or don't you? You needn't grit your teeth that way. You are only getting a part of what is coming to you. 'Faithful are the wounds of a | friend,' you know." "Yes. And when the psalmist had admitted that, he immediately asked the Lord not to let their precious balms break bis head. You're ail right. Grlzzy, but I'll pull through." Then, with a determined wrenching aside of the subject: "Are you going up on Chigringo this afternoon?" "J thought 1 would—yes. What shall I tell Miss Massingale when she asks about you?" "You will probably tell her the first Idiotic thing that comes Into the back part of your head. And if you tell her anything pifflous about me I'll lay for you some dark night with a pick handle." Grislow laughed reminlscently. "She won't ask," he said. "Why not?" "Because the last time she did it I told her your scalp was dangling at Miss Genevieve's belt." Th«T had .reached the door of the quarters and Broulllard spun nmd with a shoulder grip emly half playful. I believed you said any such thing as that I'd murder you!" he exploded. "Perhaps you'll go and tell her that—you red-headed blastoderm^" "Sure," said the blastoderm, and they went apart, each to his dunnage k i t I There were a dozen business blocks under construction In Mlrapolis, with a proportional number of dwellings and suburban villas at various stages in the race toward completion, when it began to dawn upon the collective consciousness of a daily increasing citizenry that something was missing. Garner, the real estate plunger from Kansas City, first gave the missing quantity its name. The distant thunder of the blasts heralding the approach of the railroad had ceased between two days. Up to the period of the silenced dynamite thunderinga new industries were projected daily, and investors, tolled in over the high mountain trails or across the Buckskin in dust-encrusted automobiles by methods best known to a gray-mustached adept in the art of promotion, thronged the lobby of the Hotel Metropole and bought and sold Mirapolis "corners" or "lnsides" on a steadily-ascending scale of prices. A strange mania for holding on, for permanency, seemed to bave become epidemic. Many of the working men were securing homes on the instalment plan. A good few of the villas could boast parquetry floors and tiled bathrooms. One coterie of Chicagoans decided to build a six-storied office building, with a ground Boor comer for the Niquoia National bank with modern conveniences and that the chosen building material should be of nothing less permanent than monolithic concrete. In harmony with the same spirit the newly incorporated Buckskin Gold Mining and Milling company plowed deep furrows to bed-rock across and back until the face of Jack's mountain was rigxagged and scarred like a veteran of many battles. In keeping was the energy with which Mr. Cortwright and his municipal colleagues laid water mains, strung electric wires, drove the paving contractors, and pushed the trolley line to the stage at which It lacked only the rails and the cars awaiting shipment by the railroad. This was the situstion on the day when Garner, sharp-eared listener at the keyhole of opportunity, missing the dynamite rumblings, sent a cipher wire of inquiry to the East, got a "rush" reply, and began warily to unload hts Mlrapolitan holdings. Being a man of business, he ducked to cover first and talked afterward; but by the time his hint had grown to rumor size Mr. Cortwright had sent for Brouil lard. "Pull up a chair and have a cigar," said the great man when Brouillard had penetrated to the nerve-center of the Mlrapolitan activities In the Metropole suite and the two stenographers had been curtly dismissed. "Have you heard the talk of the street? There 1s a rumor that the railroad grading has been stopped." Broulllard. busy with the work of setting the third series of forms on his great wall, had heard nothing. "I've noticed that they haven't been fc.asting for two or three days. But that may mean nothing more than a delayed shipment of dynamite," was hts rejoinder. "Is togs* had devilish had." The promoter was Piaoied sMflrSTb 11» pivot chair, and the sandy-gray eyes dwindled to pin points, "We are up against it that's all. Read that" and the promoter handed a telegram across the desk. The wire was from Chicago, was signed "Ackerman," and was still damp from the receiving operator's copying press. It read: "Work on P. S-W.'s Buckskin ex tension has been suspended for the present. Reason assigned, shrinkage lo securities and uncertainty of business outlook In Niquoia." Mr. Cortwright's frown figured as a fleshly mask of irritability. "Let once get out that the railroad peop don't believe in the future of Mirapolis and we're done." Brouillard's retort was the expression of an upflash of sanity. J "Mirapolis has no future; It has ! only an exceedingly precarious present." For a moment the sandy-gray eyes became inscrutable. Then the mass of irritation slid aside, revealing the face which Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright ordinarily presented to his world — the face of imperturbable good nature. "You're right, Brouillard; Mirapolis is only a good joke, after all. Some- •times I get bamfoozled into the idea that it isn't—that it's the real thing. That's bad for the nerves But about this railroad fizzle; I don't relish the notion of having our little joke sprung on us before we're ready to laugh, do you? What do you think?" "It is not my turn to think, Mr. Cortwright." "Oh, yes, it is; very pointedly. You're one of us, to a certain extent; and if you were not you would still be interested. A smash just now would hamper the reclamation service like the mischief; the entire works shut down; no cement, no lumber, no power; everything tied up in the courts until the last creditor quits taking appeals Oh, no. Brouillard; you don't want to see the end of the world come before it's due." It was the consulting engineer of the power company rather than the reclamation service chief who rose and went to the window to look down upon the morning briskness of Chi gringo avenue. And it was the man who saw one hundred thousand dollars, the price of freedom, slipping away from him who turned after a minute or two of the absent street gazing and said: "What do you want me j to do, Mr. Cortwright? I did put my ' shoulder to the wheel when Ford was here. I told him if 1 were In his place I'd take the long chance and build the extension." "Did you—and before you had a ' stake In the game? That was a white man's boost, right! Think you could manage to get Ford on the wire and encourage him a little more?" "It isn't Ford; it is the New York bankers. You can read that between the lines in your man Ackerman's telegram." The stock gentleman In the pivot chair thrust out bis Jaw and tilted his freshly lighted cigar to the aggressive angle. "Say, Brouillard, we've got to throw a fresh piece of bait into the cage, something that will make the railroad crowd sit up and take notice. By George, if those gold hunters up on Jack's mountain would only stumble across something big enough to adver Use—" Broulllard started as If the wishful magic had been a blow. Like a hot wave from a furnace mouth it swept over him—the sudden realization that the means, the one all-powerful, earth moving lever the promoter was so anxiously seeking, lay In his hands. "The Buckskin people, yes," he said, making talk as the rifleman digs a pit to hold his own on the firing line. "If they should happen to uncover a gold reef Just now It would simplify matters Immensely for Mirapolis. wouldn't It? The railroad would come on, then, without a shadow of doubt All the bankers in New York couldn't bold it back." Now came Mr. Cortwright's turn to get up and walk to one of the windows. "Come here," he called curtly, with a quick finger crook for the engineer, and when Broulllard joined him: "Can you size up that little aassrae over yonder?" The "caucus" was a knot ef exotted men blocking the sidewalk la free* of Garner's real estate office on the opposite side of the street The purpose of the excited ones was not difficult to divine. They were all trying te crowd Into the Kansas City man's place of business st once.

Cuttings of the varieties of which the numbers are short can be Inserted now. These may be obtained from the old plants lifted from the beds in the autumn, or a few tops may be taken off the strongest of the young plants. Inserted in light, sandy soil they will soon root on a shelf in a warm house- Cuttings of iresine, coleus, ageratum, heliotrope, verbena, fuchsia, fibrousrooted begonia, etc., when required in quantity should be inserted in a bed of sand made up in a propagating frame with bottom heat. Three inches of sand will be sufficient and if this is made firm, well supplied with water and a bottom heat of 7;" to 80 degrees m a i n l i n e d , many of the cuttings will be rooted in a week and ready for potting up singly in small pots. Remaining in the sand such a short time, they can be dibbled in close together. Lobelias, altermantheras, and mesembryanthemums can also be increased by the thousands in this way. Provided there is good stock of old plants on hand, March is soon enough to commence propagating. Early In February dahlia tubers, of which a large stock is required, may be brought into the propagating house. Placed on the stage, partly burying the tubers in leaf mold, plenty of shoots will soon push out. When these are about three inches In length they should be taken off with a slight heel and if inserted in a sand bed they will soon root. Another method successfully adapted for rooting dahlias. Is to make up a hotbed a yard in height, place a frame on this and plunge the pots of cuttings where there is a nice bottom heat. A list of the quantities of plants required should be made and the numbers entered as they are rooted. This may have much trouble when the time comes for planting out. for a fine complexion you must ao something more than use cosmetics. You must keep the blood pure, the liver and kidneys active and the bowels regular. You must also correct the digestive ills that cause muddy skin and dull eyes. By W. R. GILBERT, Where thousands of plants are grown for positions in the open air during the summer, this is an important operation from March onward. Considerable forethought and knowledge of the work are necessary to obtain the plants in suitable condition and in sufficient numbers, when the time for planting out arrives.

PROHIBITION GOVERNORS. Each of the seven states which out lawed the liquor traffic January 1 ie fortunate in having a governor who is heartily in favor of prohibition and will uphold the law. Governor Carlson of Colorado sayt he will enforce it even to the extent of calling upon the state militia. Gov ernor Lester of Washington urges ar appropriation of $50,000 to be used in enforcement. Governor Withy combe of Oregon expresses contidenct that an overwhelming majority of the citizens of the state mean to see thai the provisions of the law are lived up to and that they may count upon his help to the utmost. Governor Alex ander's YlgorouB championship of the statutory prohibition law of Idaho is well known, and his personal influence was used to secure the referendum on the constitutional amendment to be taken next November. When Governor Hay of Arkansas signed the prohibition bill, he said: "1 believe the most manly act of my life, an act that will mean much to me, to my conscience, to my wife, to my two little boys, and to the people of the state to which I owe so much, was the act I performed when I placed my signature to the bill which gave Arkansas state-wide prohibition." The'*attitude of Governor Clarke of Iowa is indicated by his remarks when he signed the* measure repealing the mulct law and putting into effect statewide prohibition: "The banishment of the saloon ought to mean the emancipation of many a laboring man, the joy of the wife in his home, better conditions and a better outlook on life for his child." South Carolina's governor in his N e w Year's greeting declared that, "With the help of God and the sup> port of the people the prohibition law shall be rigidly enforced so long aa I am governor."

While getting ready to inaugurate a prize essay contest, a W. C. T. U. woman investigated the public local library to Bee what the children would find in the way of reference books, and discovered that of ten books on the temperance shelf seven were against total abstinence and prohibition. Among these were "Religion and Drink," "Drink, Temperance and Legislation," "A Text Book of True Temperance," "Alcohol the Sanction for Its Use," "Prohibition, the Enemy of Temperance," "Prohibition, Its Relation to Temperance," "Good Morals and Sound Government." The local union immediately called the attention of the library board to the inconsistency of permitting the liquor interests to teach intemperance through the city library, when the law expressly provides that the children shall be taught in the schools the evil effects of drinking liquor.

"No, never mind." replied the husband, "he is shingling our house for us." The idea lodged In the mind of the drunkard, and he did not return to the saloon for six months. When passing the saloonkeeper on the street, the latter said: "Why don't you come round to my place any more?" "Thank you for your kind hospitality," replied the former rictim, T v e been shingling my own roof lately." RUSSIA IS PRESSING. If America is to lead the Tan of civilization into the promised land of prohibition, she must make haste.

According to this it would seem that a medicine for the kidneys, possessing real healing and curative properties, would be a blessing to thousands. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the well known kidney, liver and bladder remedy, is remarkably successful in sickness caused by kidney and bladder troubles. It is mild and gentle in its action and its healing influence is soon noticed in most cases. There is no other remedy like Swamp- Root.

A woman can keep a secret all right if it la a good joke on herself. ( P r e p a i d by tho United S t a t e s Department of Agriculture.) The brood sow Is the first animal to select In laying a foundation for a herd. The better she Is the greater the chances for success. A good brood sow must possess depth and length of body, a good heart girth, smooth shoulders, well-sprung ribs, and long, deep, well-turned hams. Her sides should be long, deep, and straight. A slightly arched, or straight, broad back Is much desired, as It is much stronger than a low back. The back should carry its width and the side lines should be straight. She should stand up well on her toes and have smooth, straight Joints with hard but not coarse bone, and must have feminine characteristics, which are indicated by a rather small head and ear, a fully developed, even udder, and absence of shields in the shoulders. A brood BOW should show early maturing qualities and have sufficient capacity to do the work for which nhe Is intended. A smooth coat of fine hair and a broad bead with sufficient weight for tier age are good indications of early maturity, if selecting more than one sow, uniformity of the lot is desirable and important. The nearer alike the sows the more probability of the pigs being uniform. In selecting the herd boar the same points are essential, except that the animal should show masculinity. A strong, broad head and neck, sufficient bone, with strong, straight pasterns, hock, and knee Joints, are important He should show early maturing characteristics, and have well-developed testicles. Shields, or thick plates of skin, should not show on the sides of the shoulder before he is one year of age. A strong, slightly arched back, with large heart girth, is essential in a first-class boar, for he must have room for the vital organs, namely, heart, lungs, etc. Remember that the boar is at least half of the herd as far as breeding is concerned, and he Is usually more, so his selection cannot command any too much care or patience. Get a good boar and he will pay you well Dr. Pierce's Pellets are best for liver, bowels and stomach. One little Pellet for a laxative—three for a cathartic—Adv. Half the sheep are really goats. To look one's best and feel one's best is to enjoy an Inside bath each morning to flush from the system the previous day's waste, sour fermentations and poisonous toxins before it is absorbed into the blood. Just as coal, when it burns, leaves behind a certain amount of incombustible material in the form of ashes, so the food and drink taken each day leave in the alimentary organs a certain amount of indigestible material, which if not eliminated, form toxins and poisons which are then sucked into the blood through the very ducts which are intended to suck In only nourishment to sustain the body. If you want to see the g!ow of healthy bloom In your cheeks, to see your skin get clearer and clearer, you are told to drink every morning upon arising, a glass of hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless means of washing the waste material and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, thus cleansing, sweetening and i purifying the entire alimentary tract, before putting more food Into the stomach. Girls and women with sallow skins, liver spots, pimples or pallid complexions, also those who wake up with a coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, others who are bothered with headaches, bilious spells, acid stomach or constipation should begin this phosphated hot water drinking and are assured of very pronounced results in one or two weeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs very little at the drug store but is sufficient to demonstrate* that just as soap and hot water cleanses, purifies and freshens the skin on the outside, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the inside organs. We must always consider that internal sanitation is vastly more important than outside cleanliness, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities Into the blood, while the bowel pores do. Women who desire to enhance the beauty of their complexion should just try this for a week and notice results.

FraneiBco Villa has escaped from the Mexican troop.s that had checked him near Namiquipa and three columns of American cavalry are pursuing him. Already they are almost 250 miles south of the border, and unless Mexican forces bring the elusive bandit to a stand, this distance will be greatly Increased by the close of the week. Villa's success In extricating himself from the dangerous position Into which he had been driven by the American punitive force was related in a detailed report by General Pershing that reached General Funston here. General Funston forwarded the report to Washington without making public any but the essential features. Pershing Divides Forces. Colonel Dodd is commanding the advanced columns that are riding hard after Villa and his men, and General Pershing has divided his forces so as to provide supporting columns alon$ the thinly stretched lines of communications from his most advanced base at El. Valle. From El. Valle, another line is being maintained back to Caaas Grades, from where communication with the border is maintained. General Pershing himself is somewhere south of Casas Grandes directing the work of holding together his forces and directing so far as possible the operations of Colonel Dodd. Cavalry is being used along the lines communicating with El Valle, where a detachment of infantry is stationed. Three aeroplanes are at El Valle and will be used in scouting as soon as the high winds that have been sweeping that part of Mexico for almost a week subside. These winds, according to General Pershing, have made effective assistance by the aeroplanes impossible. Of the eight machines that went into Mexico, two are still out of commission. They were damaged in the flights from Columbus to Casas Grandes. V i l l a the Victor.

"The cost isn't precisely In the kind of figures that you understand best, Mr. Cortwright," Broulllard said half muslngiy. Then, with sudden vehemence: "It is altogether a question of motive with me, Mr. Cortwright; of a motive which you couldn't understand in a thousand years. If that motive prevails, you get your railroad and a little longer lease of life. If it doesn't, Mirapolis will go to the devil some few weeks or months ahead ol its schedule —and I'll take my punishment with the remainder of the fools—and the knaves." He was on his feet and moving toward t h e door of exit when t h e promoter got his breath. "Here, hold on, Broulllard—for heaven's sake, don't go oft and leave it up in the air that way!" he protested. But the corridor door had opened and closed and Broulllard was gone. Two hours later Mirapolis the phrenetic had a new thrill, a shock so electrifying that the rumor of the rail* road's halting decision sank into insignificance and was forgotten. The suddenly- evoked excitement focussed in a crowd besieging the window of the principal jewelry shop—focussed more definitely upon a square of white paper in the window in the center of which was displayed a little heap of virgin gold in small nuggets and coarse grains. While the crowds in the street were still struggling and fighting to get near enough to read the labeling placard, the Daily Spotlight came out with an extra which was all headlines, the telegraph wires to the East were buzzing, and the town had gone mad. The gold specimen—so said the placard and the news extra—had been washed from one of the bars in the Nlquoia. By three o'clock the madness had culminated in the complete stoppage of all work ?.mong the town builders and on the great dam as well, and gold-crazed mobs were frantically digging and panning on every bar in the river from the valley outlet to the power dam five miles away. CHAPTER XI Bedlam It was between two and three o'clock in the afternoon of the day in which Mirapolis went placer mad when word came to the reclamation service headquarters that the power was cut off and that there were no longer men enough at the mixers and on the forms to keep the work going If the power should come on again. Handley. the new fourth assistant, brought the news, dropping heavily into a chair and shoving his hat to the* back of his head to mop his seamed and sun-browned face. "Why the devil didn't you fellows turn out?" he demanded savagely of Leshington, Anson and Grislow, who were lounging in the office and very pointedly waiting for the lightning to strike. "Gassman and I have done everything but commit cold-blooded murder to hold the men on the job. Where's the boss?" Nobody knew, and Grislow, at least was visibly disturbed at the question. It was Ansou who seemed to have the latest Information about Broulllard. "He came In about eleven o'clock, rummaged for a minute or two in that drawer you've got your foot on, Gristy, and then went out again. Anybody seen him since V There was a silence to answer the query, and the hydrographer righted his chair abruptly and closed the opened drawer be had been utilising for a foot-rest He had a long memory for trifles, and at the mention of the drawer a disquieting picture had flashed itself upon the mental screen. There were two figures in the picture. Broulllard and himself, and Broulllard was to3Sing the little buekskln sack of gold nuggets into the drawer, where it had lain undisturbed ever since-—until now. Morover, Grlslow's news of Broulllard. if he had seen fit to publish i t was later than Anson's. At one o'clock, or thereabout the chief had come into the mapping room for a glance at the letters on his desk. One of the let ters—a note in a square envelope—he had thrust Into his pocket before going out. "It looks as if the chief had gone with the crowd," said Leshington when the silence had grown almost portentous, "though that wouldn't be like htm.

"i saw Harlan, of the Spotlight, half an hour ago,'' cut In Anson. "He plumb raving crazy, like everybody else, but there is something faintly resembling method in bis madness He figures it that we government people are out of a job permanently; that with the discovery of these placers— or, rather, with the practically certain rediscovery of them by the mob—Mir apolia will Jump to the front rank as a gold camp, and the reclamation t>ervice will have to call a halt on the Buckskin project." Leshington's long, plain-song face grew wooden. "You say 'practically certain.' The question is: Will they be rediscovered? Bet any of you a box of Poodles' Flor de near Havana.s that it's some new kind of a flip-flap invented by J. Wealey and his boomers. What do you say?" "Good Lord!" growled Handley. "They didn't need any new stunts They had the world by the ear, as It waa." "That's all right," returned Leshington; "maybe they didn't. 1 heard a thing or two over at Bongras' last night that set me guessing. There was a piece of gossip coming up the pike about the railroad pulling out of the game, or, rather, that it had already pulled o u t " Once more silence fell upon the group In the mapping room, and this time it was Grislow who broke i t "I suppose Harlan is getting ready to exploit the new sensation right?" he suggested, and Anson nodded. "You can trust Harlan for that. He's got the valley wire subsidized, and he is waiting for the first man to come in with the news of the sure thing and the location of it. Whnn ha gets the facts he'll touch off the fireworks, and the world will be invited to take a running jump for the new Tonopah." "It's time somebody was getting busy," snarled Handley. "There are a hundred tons of fresh concrete lying in the forms,-Just as they were dumped —with no puddlers—to say nothing of half as much freezing to solid rock right now in the mixers and on the telphers." Grislow got up and reached for his coat and hat. "I'm going out to hunt for the boss,'' he said, "and you fellows had better do the same. If this is one of Cortwrlght's flip-flaps, and Broulllard happened to be in the way, I wouldn't put it beyond J. Wesley to work some kind of a disappearing racket on the human obstacle." The suggestion was carried out immediately by the three to whom It was made, but for a reason of his own the hydrographer contrived to be the last to leave the mapping room. When be found himself alone he returned hastily to the desk and pulled out the drawer of portents, rummaging in It until he waa fully convinced that the little buckskin bag of nuggets was gone. Then, Instead of following the others, be took a fieldglass from its case on the wall and went to the south window to focus it upon the Massingale cabin, standing out clear-cut and distinct in the afternoon sunlight The powerful glass brought out two figures on the cabin porch, a woman and a man. The woman was standing and the man wa» sitting on the step. Grislow lowered the glass and slid the telescoping sun tubes home with a snap. "Good God!" he mused, "It's unbelievable! He deliberately turns this thing loose on us down here and then takes an afternoon off to go and make love to a girl! He's crazy; it's the seven-year devil he talks about And nobody can help him; nobody-—unless Amy can. Lord, Lord!" face like a wooden iaia£e and euys 'Little girl, you need a mother—or a husband, I bavjij't made up my mmd which.' When he docs make up hia nimd I'm going to shriek and ruu away." "And you flirt!" he protested re proachfully. "'Now itll me about the 'Little Susan;' Is the Bluegrass farm looming up comfortably on the eastern edge of things?" In a twinkling her frivolous mood vanished. "Ob, we are prosperous, desperately prosperous. We have all the improve ments you can see and a lot that you can't see. And our pay roll—-it fairly frightens me when 1 make it up on the Saturdays." "1 see," be nodded. "All going out and nothing coming In. Hut the money Is all here, safely stacked up m the ore bins. You'll get it ail out when the railroad comes." "That is another thing—a thing 1 haven't dared tell Lather and Stevle. When I was in Mirapolis this morning I'heard that the railroad wasn't coming, after all; or, rather, Tig had heard it and he told mo. We were dig ging for facts when you met us on Chigringo avenue—trying to find out If the rumor were true." "It means a great deal to you. doesn't It?" he said evasively. "It means everything—a thousand times more now than it did before." Hia quick glance up into the sud denly sobered eyes of the girl standing on the step above him was a voiceless query and she answered i t "We had no working capital, as I think you must have known. Once a month father or Stevie would make up a few pack-saddle loads of the richest ore and freight them over the mountains to Red Butte. That was how we got along. But when you sent me word by Tig that the railroad com a>any had decided to build the extension, there was — there was — a chance. "Yes," he encouraged.

But Miss Massingale was In a charmingly frivolous frame of mind. "That is the fourth different excuse you have invented for cutting me out of your visiting list not counting the repetitions," she gibed, when he had finally fallen back upon the time demands of his work to account for his late neglect of her. "If 1 wanted to be hateful I might insist that you haven't given the true reason y e t " "Perhaps I will give it before I go." he parried. "But just now f'd much rather talk about something else. Tell me about yourself. What have you been doing all these days wben I haven't been able to keep tab on you?' "Flirting—flirting desperately with Tig, with Mr. Anson and Mr. Grislow. and that nice boy of youro, Herbert Griffith, and with—no. not with Mr. Leshington; he scares me--makes a borrowed money." "Borrowed of Mr. Cortwright?" queried Broulllard. "No; of the bank. Neither Stevie nor ! knew about it until after it was done, and even then father wouldn't explain. He has been like a man out of his mind since Mr. Cortwrlght got hold of him—everything is rose-colored. But you see bow it all depends upon the railroad." "Not so much upon the railroad now as upon some other things," said Broulllard enigmatically "You say your father has borrowed of the bank —is Mr. Cortwrlght mixed up in the loan in any way 7" "Yes; he arranged it In some way for father—I don't know Just bow. All I know is that father is responsible, and that if the railroad doesn't come he will lose everything." Broulllard gave a low whistle. "1 don't wonder that the quitting rumor made you nervous. But 1 think I can lift one of your burdens. What you heard in town this morning is a fact: the railroad people have stopped work on the Buckskin extension. Don't faint—they are going to begin again right away." "Oh!" she gasped. "Are you sure5 How can you be sure?" "I've given the order," he said gravely, "an order they can't disregard. Let's go back a bit and I'll explain. Do you remember.my telling you that your brother had tried to bribe me to use my influence with Mr. Ford?" "As if I should ever be able to forget It!" she protested. "Well, that wasn't all that he did— he threatened to turn the valley Into a placer camp, to disorganize our working force, even stop or definitely postpone the building of the dam." "And you—you believed this?" she asked faintly. "I was compelled to believe i t He let me pan out the proof for myself." "It is dreadful—dreadful!" she murmured. "You believed him, and for that reason you used your Influence with Mr. Ford?" He got up and took her in his arms. and she suffered him. "A few days ago. little girl. I couldn't have told you. But now I can, I am a free man—or I can be whenever 1 choose to say the word. I did it for love's sake." She was pushing him away, and the great horror in her eyes waa unmistakable now. "Oh!" she panted, "is love a thing to be cheapened like that? And your freedom—how have you made a hundred thousand dollars in these few weeks? Oh. Victor, is it clean money?" Andy how he was "coming on" with the widow. "We'v.- quit," said Andy tersely. "That so? How did that happen?"

APRIL IN BIRDLAND By L. M. B E N N I N G T O N . This month the birds mate, and many new ones come from the South. This month the boys and girls wander all over the woods and fields looking for the bluets, the violets, hepaticaa and spring beauties. This spring I hope they will not pick too many of our wild flowers, because it is feared that i time there will not be many of our beautilul native blossoms to gather. They have been ruthlessly plucked and thrown aside tor so many years by thoughtless children that a great many o* the most beautiful and valuable species have run out of existence. In their walks in the woods this spring it would be very Interesting to the boys and girls to take up the st.dy of wild flowers and the study GARDEN FOR BUSY WOMAN By E. V A N B E N T H U Y S E N . Every woman ought to have a garden. The change that takes a woman out of doors away from the routine of housework is a good one. it affords health, happiness and a positive relief to the overworked muscles and tired brain of the woman who spends most of her day indoors. There is health for both body and brain in working in a garden. There are a great many flowers that require very little care and give wonderful returns for the little time expended. My advice to the woman who has not much time to give to her garden is to plant only the flowers that will give the best result for her limited care. No lover of flowers can afford to be without a corner for sweet peas. They bloom in wonderful profusion and their beauty and fragrance are too well known to need comment. Plant &s early in the season as possible, and sow the seeds about an inch apart. Cover with about two inches of soil and tamp the soil down firmly. Keep the roots well covered as they gTow, as shallow planted sweet peas often fail in hot weather. Provide Borne brush for them to grow on, water profusely and enjoy their beauty. Allow a corner for poppies Also space for a few china asters, like our grandmothers grew. Nothing is easier to grow, nothing blooms more profusely. Few plants are richer in color or bloom later in the season. The gillyflower is a fragrant oldtimer worthy of our attention. This is a late bloomer, like the aster.

The demand for "green" ducks, which is the term used to describe those grown rapidly and marketed when only eight to twelve week9 old, wlien -hey weigh about four and one-half to six pounds, has been built up in large cities in the East and on the Pacific coast. There is very little demand for such ducks in small cities and towns. Many farmers market their ducks in the fall as spring ducks at a lower price per bird than is received for green ducks in the spring. Ducks may be dressed by dry plck- ! ing, by scalding, or by steaming. Their I condition is best Judged by the amount of flesh on their backs. The methods used in dry picking poultry are also I used with ducks, although the latter are harder to pick. The ducks are genj erally killed by sticking in the mouth I or through the throat with a knife which has a narrow blade about four inches long, and then stunned by a blow on the back of the head with a short club; or the knife may be inserted just back of the eye. To facilitate handling in scalding and picking, a hook is run into the duck's mouth, coming out through the nostril The long tail feathers are left on the ducks, the wings are picked to the first Joint and the neck half way to the head. Long pinfeathers are removed with a dull knife, and the down sometimes is rubbed off with the moistened hand, burned with alcohol or shaved with a very sharp knife. Ducks may be steamed and picked, thus saving the feathers without artificial drying, and as duck feathers are of considerable value, their Bale is quite an important item. The wing and tail feather3 are pulled and thrown to one side before steaming the ducks. Six or eight ducks, which have been stuck and hung up to bleed, are placed on hooks in the top of a steam box or barrel which can be made airtight, and steamed until the soft feathers on the breast come off easily. The length of time to leave them in the box depends on the temperature of the steam, varying vfrom one-half to two minutes. After the ducks are picked they are usually washed and put in ice water for an hour or two to cool and plump Each layer of ducks is packed flat In ice. usually with the keels or breasts down, in barrels, or in boxes holding one dozen each. It costs from five to six cents apiece to pick ducks, but the body feathers and down usually are saved, as white feathers bring from 40 to 50 cents a REDUCE POULTRY FEED COST Fowls T h r i v e on Clover, Alfalfa, Beet*, Turnips and Other Vegetables — A l l Easy Crops. £ f * \ r * Snapdragons Easy to Grow and Effective for the Busy Woman's Garden. the double ones, they are very pretty and are an excellent flower for cutting.

Disbudding and pinching back of the young shoots of fruit trees are the only hope of those who have neglected to prune properly during the fall and winter and yet wish to control somewhat the shape and fruiting habits of the trees for the coming season. On the other hand, many expert growers who have properly attended to pruning, study their trees carefully in the summer and by disbudding and pinching are able still further to control their growth. Some experts starting with very young trees rely almost wholly on disbudding and pinching, because they say that it is more logical to direct the strength of the tree than to allow it to waste Its energies in forming wood which only has to be cut off by a pruning knii'e. These processes, however, call for even greater care than ordinary pruning because, of course, it is easier to injure a growing tree than to deal with a dormant one In the case of older trees, however, disbudding and pinching, of course, are not substitutes for pruning and getting rid of old wood. Once a tree has established old wood, disbudding simply controls the development of new shoots and the saw or pruning hook alone will dispose of interfering branches or old growth. Disbudding should begin when the young buds are large enough to be pinched out with the thumb and finger. The process should be repeated rather than an attempt made to take off many buds at a time. The buds which are left should remain where they will grow up and close up the open tree spaces and bring about a more com- ; pact form Disbudding is often prac- , ticed on fruit trees grown under glass, i where the branches must necessarily be kept within a very small area and where conservation of the vigor of the tree is of great importance. Disbudding is often practiced with advantage on apples, peaches, pears and other fruit trees and vines. Complete information on pruning and disbudding may be secured by writing the editor of the Division of Publications of the United States department of agriculture, asking for Farmers' Bulletin No. 181. SOIL ADAPTED TO ALFALFA In Regions of Heavy Rainfall Natural Drainage M w t Be Provided— Few Good Plana, In the humid sections of the country it is especially important to provide a well-drained soil for alfalfa. In the irrigated districts the problem of drainage to prevent or reduce the accumulation of alkali Is often serious. In the regions of heavy rainfall natural drainage must be provided. It has been found that alfalfa requires much more complete drainage of the soil than do other field crops. Where the underdrains are unable to carry off the rainfall rapidly enough for prompt drainage, it is sometimes the practice to backfurrow. leaving the dead furrows.at intervals of a rod or less. This permits the water to ran off quickly in the event of heavy rains.

Children Cry for F l e t c h e r ' s Caatoria Scarcity of Drugs. The scarcity and high prices of many popular drugs, has caused a decrease in medicine taking, says a London chemist. "This result of the war," says a medical man, "is all for the best. People get into a habit of taking medicines to relieve some little disorder which nature would more effectually cure it they only exercised a little patience. Once the habit is formed it cannot be given up. If high prices compel people to give up their favorite medicines, the war will do real service to the health of the community." Trench Frost Bite. An article in the Lancet discusses the so-called "frost bite" from which many soldiers suffered while fighting in the trenches in Flanders last winter. It is characterized by swelling, pain, and disturbance of sensation in the part affected, but not by the necrosis or death of the tissues which occurs in true frost bite. The names "frigorism" and "frigidism" have been suggested for it. The conditions causing it are cold, wet and interference with the circulation in the leg and foot by tight puttees and boots. A very thin layer of moderately dry air between the skin and the external cold water or ice enables the heat of the circulating blood to keep the parts free from "frigorism," and this can be obtained by wearing bags of very soft thin oilskin on the lower limbs. In conjunction with woolen socks. Nothing tight must be worn around the leg. W I S E H O S T E S S W o n H e - Guests to Postum. A Voffstabis Worth Growing.

BANDITS ARE VERY SLIPPERY Experience of Soldiers In Rounding Up Mexican Outlaws 24 Years A90 is Recalled—Artillery Now Mainstay of Every Army in Field. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—Tbe American soldiers across tbe border axe not on Junketing benL it is said here to be the hope and the prayer of the army officials that the Villa followers will stay together and that tbe pursuers can hit them bard once and then capture those who survive the blow. The danger, as Washington views it, is that the bandits will separate and carry on guerrilla warfare in detached bands. The other and greater danger is that the troopers must be followed into Mexico by a huge army ready to take the field against all the soldiers which Mexico can throw against them. When Gen. Leonard Wood's cbief of staff spoke out in meeting to say that if intervention in Mexico is forced an army of 500,000 American soldiers will be necessary to complete the job, it furnished pretty good* evidence that all army officers are not muzzled. Intervention apparently is not the intention of the administration. What will amount to intervention, however, Washington says, will be necessary if the Carranza groups Join the Villa groups and the groups of the other ten or a dozen Mexican leaders. Colonel Glenn K. is said voiced the belief of the officers of the war college who have made the Mexican situation a study for some years. Bandits Hard to Catch. Recently it was told how long it took the United States troops, and there were a good many of them in the field, to round up 350 bandits operating on this Bide of the border in 1892. So certain were the bandits of security from capture, because of the nature of the country in which they were operating, that they would approach close to the camps of the American forces, taunt them and then disappear into the jungles and other hiding places, confident that their retreat was safe. There are some officers now In Texas who took part in the longdrawn out campaign against Mexican bandits 24 years ago. Your correspondent was in the field at that time with D troop of the Third cavalry. He was acting as a correspondent for a Chicago newspaper. Personal witness can be borne that the troops in the field at that time constantly were alert to duty, were constantly in the saddle, scouring great sections of desert country, doing everything and willing to dare everything to effect the capture of the renegades. It was the nature of the country and nothing DOAN'SV,1"M CO. BUFFALO. * Y. It may be what people don't know j about a popular man that makes him ) popular. I »— j else except, of course, the sympathy j which some of the civilian populace felt with the bandits, which made the chase such a prolonged one. Some of the war department officials fear that, although a much larger American force will be In the field on the present occasion than was the case 24 years ago. the circumstances of the former campaign will be repeated and that one hunt may resolve itself into many hunts, each to be prosecuted separately and each to be carried to a successful outcome before the end sought can be reached. One night in March, 1892, D troop of the Third cavalry, in t h e field against bandit followers of Caterino E. Garza, waa encamped at the Palito Blanco ranch in Nueces county, Texas. ~ The camp was not far removed from the edge of the chaparral, which was many miles thick at this point, extending Its tangle of thorny domain well down towards t h e edge of the Rio Grande river. So daring were the renegades and to firm waa their belief that they could escape capture no matter how venturesome they were, that they came dose to t h e camp at night, climbed into meequlte trees and signaled wits lanterns to one another across the camp of tbe troopers. There was no roasrm for tbe signaling sad tt was done sbnpiy to taunt the American soldiers, who would leave camp on tbe instant of tbe appearance of tbe first llgbt and make a determined effort to capture tbe intrude* a, who simply slipped away Into tbe blackness of the night and tbe thinness of tbe chaparral.

Artillery Arm of the Service. While the main dependence of the advance guaxda of the American forces in Mexico will be the cavalry because horsemen move light ly and quickly, tbere will be ever abreast of the mounted troops batterlee of field artillery, for artillery of this kind has come to be one of the mainstays, perhaps the mainstay, ol the armies of the world- Information recently has been forth coming in Washington concerning the development of the artillery arm ol the service, and it Is certain if preparedness measures are enacted into law that the increase in tbe artillery will ^e much greater proportionately than the increase in any other branch of the service. "The engagement quickly resolved itself into an artillery duel." The words quoted appear in scores of dispatches from the scenes of the conflict in -Europe. It is an artillery war largely. The word "battery" la read by Americans probably five times where the other words, regiment or battalion, are read once. There are batteries of horse artillery, batteries of light field artillery, mountain batteries, siege batteries, and sea coast batteries, although the last named may be eliminated from discussion because thus far, save for some operations in the far East, and a short engagement on the Belgian coast, they have cut little figure in the fighting. The great arm of tbe artillery service is the light battery, for in it lies the chief artillery strength of the armies. The field guns of the American army as formed into batteries and as equipped for conflict are virtually on the same basis as the light artillery of the other armies of the world. When tho field details of tbe American artillery are known, the composition of batteries, the allotment of am munition, the complement of cannoneers, caissons and other adjuncts, it is possible to get definite information of the conditions in the armies now fighting in Europe. In virtually all the armies of the world there are four guns to a battery, a change from the days of the muzzle-loading fieldpiece, when there were six and occasionally eight guns to each battery. Tbe breechloader, with its method of taking up the recoil and with the ease of its manipula tion, burns up ammunition at the rate of twenty-five shots a minute. This is something to be thought on. It means that a shell with its dread charge of lyddite or other high exploslves leaves the muzzle of each piece every two and a half seconds or thereabouts. They are firing today from the field artillery twenty-five shots in tbe time that it took to fire one in the old days, but the havoc today is not twenty-five times as great, because soldiers have been taught and forced to take to cover. A United States standard light battery of field artillery, and it will stand as a type, at war strength has a total of five commissioned officers and 171 enlisted men. There are 60 drivers and 65 cannoneers, four gunner corporals and 13 caissons, one store wagon and limber and four field wagons, a total of 112 draft wagons, 45 saddle horses and 16 mules, making 172 animals. The ammunition is the thing. There are in the caisson body 70 rounds and in the limber chest 36 rounds, while in the "emergency tube%" on each gun there a r e four rounds. So that in each gun section there a r e 106 rounds of "fixed" or made ammunition in the caisson, 36 rounds in the gun limber and four rounds in the ammunition tubes on t h e gun carriage. In each of the four caisson sections there a r e 212 rounds. Thus with a field battery of light artillery there are 1,432 rounds on the firing line and on wheels close by under cover. That figures out 2&8 shots to s rifle. With the ammunition train there are, or should be, four wagons each with 106 rounds, and a t t h e advance supply depot 1,856 rounds, or 464 shots a rifle, raising the ammunition supply on the firing line, in t h e combat train dose at band, in the ammunition train on tbe road and at the advanced sappry depot to »2S rounds a gun. No one knows definitely as yet just what tbe military-preparedness bill aa it finally passes congress will provide for the artillery arm of tbe service. As things seem today, there is aa appearance of an increased strength In tbe ranks of the anUpraparedness members. If appearances are not deeeitfai it s s ems likely therefore that a conv finaUy effected bstwei «01 T Hopes Women Will j Adopt This Habit j As Well As Men I Glass of hot water each morning helps us look and feel clean, sweet, fresh.

A busy city apringu up about the site. Steve Massingale threatens to start a gold rush if Brouillard does do€B not influence President Ford to build a railroad branch to the place, thus opening an easy market for the ore from the "Little Susan" mine. On a visit to Amy Massingale at her father's mine Brouillard tells her of his need for money to pay off his dead father's debts and that to be free he would sacrifice anything save his love for one woman. Though his influence is vital to the building of the railroad extension she tells him to be true to himself. He decides for it. Mirapolls, the city of numbered days, booms. Cortwrlght persuades Brouillard to become consulting engineer of the consolidated electric power company in return for $100,000 stock. Permanent building in Mirapolls and a real estate boom are in full swing when the stoppage of work on the railroad threatens a panic. Brouillard spreads the Massingale story of placer gold in the river bed and starts a gold rush. The gold rush promises to stop the reclamation project.

"Shove it tor every umiuie of daylight there is left," he ordered, t r a p - ping out his commands 10 his staff while he was tilling the magazine of his Winchester. -'Fuddle what material there is m the forma, dump the telpher buckets, where they stand, and clean out the mixers; t h a t ' s the size of t h e job, and it's got to be done.

"Work is t h e 'one thing you won't get out of that crowd." "Watch me," rasped t h e chief, and he was gone a s soon as he had said it. S t r a n g e things and s t r e n u o u s happened in the lower end of t h e Nlquoia valley during t h e few hours of daylight that remained. First, climb ing nervously to t h e puddlers' staging on t h e great dam, and led by Poodles himself, came t h e Metropole quota of waiters, scullions, cooks and porters, willing but skill-less. After them, and herded by Leshington. c a m e a dapper crew of office men and clerks to snatch up t h e puddling spades a n d to soil t h e i r clothes and blister their hands in emptying t h e concrete buckets Mr Cortwright's contribution came a s a dropping fire; a handful of tree-cutters from t h e sawmills, a few picked up h e r e a n d t h e r e in t h e deserted town, an automobile load of power-company employees shot down from t h e generating plant a t racing speed. Last, b u t by no m e a n s least In nura bers, c a m e t h e h u m a n derelicts from the lower avenue; men in frock-coats; men in cowboy jeans taking it as a huge joke; men with foreign faces and lowering brows and with s t r a n g e oaths In their m o u t h s ; a n d behind t h e motley t h r o n g a n d m a r s h a l i n g it to a quickstep, Brouillard and Tig Smith. It w a s hot work and heavy for the strangely assorted crew, and Brouillard drove it to t h e limit, bribing, cajoling or threatening, patrolling t h e long line of staging to encourage the a w k w a r d puddlers, or side-stepping swiftly to t h e mixers to bring back a d e t a c h m e n t of skulkers at the rifle's muzzle. And by nightfall the thing was done, with t h e loss reduced to a minimum and t h e makeshift laborers dropping out in squads and groups, some laughing, some swearing, and all too weary a n d toil-worn to be dangerous. "Give us a Job if we come back tomorrow, Mr. Brouillard?" called out the king of t h e gamblers In passing; and t h e cry was taken up by others In grim jest. " T h u s endeth t h e first lesson," said Qrislow, when t h e engineering corps was reassembling at the h e a d q u a r t e r s p r e p a r a t o r y to a descent upon t h e supper table. But Brouillard w a s dumb and haggard, and when h e had hung his rifle a n d cartridge belt on their pegs behind h i s desk, h e went out, leaving unbroken t h e silence which had greeted h i s entrance. " T h e boss is taking it pretty hard," said young Griffith to no o n e in particular, and it w a s Leshington who took h i m up savagely and invited him to hold h i s tongue. " T h e least said is t h e soonest mended—at a funeral," w a s t h e form the first assistant's rebuke took. "You take my advice and don't mess or meddle with t h e chief until h e ' s had time to work this thing o u t of hla system." T h e shouts of t h e mob w e r e ringing in Brouillard's ears when h e strode dejectedly into t h e deserted maproom. and t h e cries were rising with a n e w note a n d in fresher frenzies a little later w h e n Grislow came in. T h e hyd r o g r a p h e r ' s blue eyes w e r e hard a n d his voice h a d a t a n g of b i t t e r n e s s in it w h e n h e said: "Well, you've done i t T h r e e m e n have Just come In with a double handful of nuggets, and Mirapolls m a k e s i t s bow t o t h e world a t large a s t h e newest a n d richest o f t h e gold camps." Brouillard h a d been humped over his desk, and h e sprang up with a c r y like t h a t of a wounded animal. "It c a n ' t b e ; Grizty, I tell you IT can't b e ! Steve Massingale planted t h a t gold t h a t I washed out—played m e for a fool to g e t me to work for t h e railroad.

Kicked up a lrale mound or earth, and stood the two paper cylinders un n. tide by side. 'J'h«- tempered glow fmrn (he city electrics made a t o n twilight m the little plaza; lie could see t h e wrapper color's of t h e two signal tires quite well. A sharp attack of indecision hart prompted him to place both ol them on the tiny mound With the match in his hand, he was still undecided Amy Mj.ssingale's words came back to him as he hesitated. "Light the blue one when you a r e ready to send me my m e s s a g e of cheer . . ." On the lips of a n o t h e r woman the words might have taken a materialistic m e a n i n g ; the miraculous gold discovery would bring t h e railroad, and the railroad would rescue the Massingale mine and restore the Massingale fortunes. He looked up at t h e dark bulk of Chigringo, unrelieved even by the tiny fleck of lamplight which he had so often called his guiding star. "Take me out of your mind and heart and say which you will have, little girl," he whispered, sending t h e words out into the void of night. But only the din and clamor of a city gone wild with enthusiasm came to a n s w e r him. Somewhere on t h e avenue a band was playing; men were shouting themselves hoarse In excitement, and above t h e shouting c a m e t h e staccato crackling of pistols and guns fired in air. He struck t h e match and stooped over t h e blue cylinder. "This is your message of cheer, whether you take it t h a t way or not," he went on, whispering again to t h e silent void. But when the fuse of t h e blue light w a s fairly fizzing he suddenly pinched it out and held t h e match to the other. Up on t h e high bench of t h e great mountain Amy Massingale w a s pacing to and fro on the puncheon-floored porch of t h e home cabin. T h e girl's gaze never wandered far from a dark area in t h e western edge of t h e town— the semicircle cut into t h e dotting lights and m a r k i n g t h e site of t h e gove r n m e n t reservation. It w a s when a tiny stream of sparks shot up in t h e center of t h e dark area that s h e stopped and held her breath. Then, when a blinding flare followed to prick out t h e headquarters, t h e commissary and t h e mess house, s h e sank in a de spairing little heap on t h e floor, with her face hidden in her h a n d s and t h e quick sobs Bhaking h e r like an ague chill. It was Brouillard's signal, but it was not t h e signal of peace; it w a s the blood-red of revolution a n d strife and turmoil.

He is not only profitable when grown a s a crop In himself, but some very important places rilled by him come from his ability to make use of feeds that would otherwise be lost. T h u s he saves waste and utilizes materials around t h e farm which only he can use and converts these into a marketable product and cash. T h e pig is known as the "mortgage-lifter," and this appellation Is certainly well deserved. Because of t h e pig's ability to utilize t h e grain droppings from s t e e r s , the pig often makes steer-feeding operations profitable that would not 1 prove so without his aid. Mumford reports in a summary of ten different | experiments t h a t t h e gains made by ' pigs fed following steers paid from 0.94 per cent to 16.67 per cent of t h e feed given t h e steers. These pigs were thrifty shotes a n d did not receive additional feed. Considering t h e relative economy of the different kinds of live stock, the pig takes a place among the most economical. For t h e whole fattening pe- . riod the ox requires 1,109 pounds of i dry feed to produce 100 pounds gain; , the sheep, 912 pounds, and t h e pig, 420 pounds. Among t h e classes of farm animals the pig ranks second as a producer of human food from a given amount of digestible m a t t e r consumed. The milch cow leads in h e r power to convert crops of t h e field Into human food, with t h e pig second, poultry following, and the steer and sheep coming lowest. ! Feeding pigs on the farm h a s another value, and that Is In relation to so'il fertility. T h e man who feeds biB g-ain to pigs sells a very small amount of fertilizing elements off of t h e farm as compared with the o a e who sells grain. Furthermore, in us ing forage or pasture crops t h e value of t h e m a n u r e scattered over t h e field is considerable, ' Swine fanning, like other branches of live-stock farming, gives employment t o la: ,r during the entire voar, and enables the farmer to keep .i1-ed labor throughout t h e year and ';oes not congest It at har/est time.

Corn, melons, cucumbers and potatoes and other crops which require a large area should not be grown in a garden of this size. Half an acre properly cultivated with a careful crop rotation m a y easily produce flQu worth of various garden crops in a year. When to Work Soil. If t h e garden w a s not broken In t h e fall it should be plowed in the spring as soon as t h e frost Is out of t h e ground. Small a r e a s may be worked with a spade, pushing t h e blade in to its full depth and turning t h e soil to break up t h e clods. Heavy soils should nevvjr be worked when wet. Overzealous g a r d e n e r s , ready to seize the first warm spell as a favorable opportunity to go out and work the heavy clay soil before it is dry, a r e not only wasting their e n e r g y , but a r e doing a damage to t h e soil from which it will take years for it to recover. To d e t e r m i n e when heavy soils a r e ready for plowing a handful of earth should be collected from t h e surface and t h e fingers tightly closed on it. If the ball of compacted earth is dry enough for cultivation it will fall apart when t h e hand is opened. How to Fertilize. The soil in the average backyard is not only lacking in plant food, but also h a s been packed until it is hard and unyialding. To loosen up aucb soil and make it suitable for garden produce requires that careful attention be given to its preparation. After spadlug t h e Inclosure thoroughly, t h e upper three Inches should be made fine with the use or hoe and rake. S t o a t s and rubbish should be removed a i d clods of dirt broken. T h e surface should be marked off for planting in conformity with t h e general plan of the garden. Barnyard or stable m a n u r e is t h e best fertilizer because It furnishes both plant food and humus. An appli cation at the rate of from 20 to 30 tons to t h e acre of well rotted manure .s vory satisfactory. This should be appi >d after plowing or worked with a i spade, and distributed evenly over I t h e surface and later worked in with a I ' <~~ or rake On many soils It la adv able to apply commercial fertilizer, e pec ally phosphate, in addition to Jit m a n u r e . An application of 300 to HOu , unds of acid phosphate to t h e acre is usually sufficient. If additional potash Is needed, which is often t h e case with sandy soils, this may be economl ally supplied in t h e form of wor,(l ashes. If tl.t wood a s h e s a r e uneach^ d they should be distributed rver t h e garden, using 1,000 pounds to che acre. If they have been wet, or leached, 2,000 pounds should be used. An application of 100 pounds to t h e acre of n i t r a t e pf soda m a y be used In the spring to start t h e plants before nitrogen in t h e m a n u r e h a s become available. (Conducted by the National Womnn'a Christian Temperance t'rilun^ ON T H E D O W N G R A D E . F o r a decade while prohibition a r e a was steadily spreading, t h e statistics of t h e federal government showed t h e m a n u f a c t u r e r s of intoxicants paying taxes on a constantly enlarging quantity of their products. And it aurely did make a hard u u t lor a prohibitionist to crack -to explain t h e reason why t h o liquor trade got better while saloons were all t h e time growing fewer. - T h e Continent. Not such a hard n u t when it la known t h a t all liquor on which t h e g o v e r n m e n t tax h a s been paid is officially reported a s 'consumed,'' and that during the decade referred to l a r g e quantities were forced out of the bonded warehouses by the time limit and stored in private warehouses awaiting a constantly decreasing de mand. "But," continues the Continent, with p e r t i n e n t emphasis, " w h a t e v e r was the real secret of that paradox, the necessity of explaining it has now quite gone by. It is a fact n o more. T h e business of brewing a n d distilling is at last on a toboggan slide which nobody c a n deny. T h e report of t h e commissioner of internal r e v e n u e for 1915, just issued, shows a decline in both beer making and whisky making, which d e m o n s t r a t e s t h a t prohibition is n o w prohibiting with a vengeance plainly m a r k i n g t h e beginning of the end. T h e 1914 report already showed some shortage in t h e whisky business; from t h e year before t h e r e w a s a decline of 15,000,000 gallons. But t h e n e w r e p o r t proves how falling bodies a r e accelerated a s t h e y fall, for t h e decline in t h e year Just past is 41,000,- C00 gallons—from 181,000,000 to 140,- 000,000. " E v e n m o r e significant is the recorded item t h a t within t h e year 198 distilleries quit business out of 743 such institutions in t h e United States. And m e a n w h i l e t h e quantity of beer made in t h i s country decreased from 66,000,- 000 b a r r e l s to 59,000,000. This is, for t h e b r e w e r s , their first setback, b u t it furnishes sufficient notice that they a r e tickoted for t h e s a m e downgrade t h a t their distilling brethren a r e emb a r k e d on.

Giving advice recently concerning m e a s u r e s for t h e prevention of colds a n d pneumonia he said: "Now is t h e time to get e n the water wagon and to stay there.

CO , OMAHA, U.SJL LAMEST MACARONI Fi -TORY IN AMEMCA Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise; splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom ach, lame back, can. instead, both look and feel as fresh as a daisy aiwa>* by washing the poison* and toxins from the body with phoaphated hoi water each morning. We should drink, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to flush from the stomach, liver, kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food Into the stomach. The action of limestone phosphate and hot water on an empty stomach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast and it is said to be but a little while until the roses begin to appear in the cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will cost very little at your druggist or from the store, but is sufficient to make anyone who is bothered with biliousness, constipa tion, stomach trouble or rheumatism a real enthusiast on the subject of internal sanitation. Try it and you are assured that you will look better and feel better in every way shortly.— Adv.

Detroit The Detroit Opera House was packed Sunday afternoon with people who came to listen io speakers who oppose preparedness and an overflow meeting wa.b held in the Campus Maruus. "Democracy Agalnbt Militarism" read a huge tiign stretched across the btage of the opera house, as the keynote of ihe "Truth About Preparedness." Henry Ford and his wife sat mod estly hidden in a box at the principal meeting. Society women distributed circulars of Congressman Tavener's speech on the "Cost of War." Siereoptican slides and motion picturewere shown. Workingmen in the gal leries led frequent rounds of applause. Harold Jarvis sang The speakers at the mass meeting are on a tour of 12 lar^e cities where similar mass meetings have been arranged by local committees. They have announced that their tour is "an answer to the challenge of President Wilao-n that all who oppose the policy of a larger army and navy should hire a hall and tell it to the people cf the land." "This meeting Is not anti-preparednes?, but anti-militarism," said Rev. Eugene Rodman Shippen, the chairm a ^ in his introductory remarks. "We seek the best interests of the American union, rather than the profit of the military circle which is bringing Europe into ruin. "This meeting is a protest against the hysteria of fear which many agencies have cultivated so systematically and against the frenzy of warfare which may threaten our lives, our liberty and our proper pursuit of happiness." Dr. A. A. Berle of Tufts college, Boston, was the first speaker, He was followed by Rabbi Stephan S. Wise of New York and Amos Pinchot who subsequently briefly addressed the overflow meeting in the open air. The crowd listened respectfully but asked numerous questions. There were other speakers following the principal ones. The chief arguments of some of the speakers were: "The war frenzy if a disease." "It is the greed of the munition manufacturers that is fighting peace," "When there Is no more poverty people will not want to fight." Rabbi Wise disclosed: "1 am against militarism now, because if we continue to prepare, another war will be inevitable, and it will be the first of a series, a world orgy of fite, disaster and blood. God forbid that the shame of a perpetuation of war should lie on the conscience of the American people." Dr. Berle charged graft, saying: "Let us not allow feverish madness to endanger our liberties and place ourselves in the hands of the militarists who are now rgsnized to graft upon the puttie* ^J^ *nd fatten their bank • c c ^ i j j f j f Pinchot aBjtjr?,' . - e r statements said this: "R«BW«ber, war is of the people and it is by the people. But war is never for the people. Consider, in Europe $1,000,000,000 is being spent every IB days in the destruction of war." Dr. Wise then made an appeal for funds, declaring that while traveling expenses were guaranteed to the party, that there was no surplus funds for printing or other expenses. Collection plates were passed around and about $300 collected. ,<3^^k2?U\ * • C * - - - .

PLAN TO ELIMINATE POLITICS Intention of Measure 1» to Keep the Tariff Out of Party Strife—Studies • f Commission Intended to Be of Profit to Congress. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—A tariff eommlauion bill, having the sanction of the majority of the ways and means committee, has been Introduced into congress and it 1H a aafe prediction that it will be passed because it is known virtually definitely that a majority of the members of both houses will support it. The bill was drawn by Representative Rftiney of Illinois. President Wilson recently announced that he was in favor of the passage by the present congress of a bill creating a tariff commission. The measure in its present form provides for a commission of six members with salaries of % 10,000 a year each and It is especially provided that not more than three members shall belong to the same political party. In a statement made by the framer of the bill, and authorized by the majority of the ways and means committee, the following appears: "This would mean three Democrats and three Republicans. From the political standpoint, the membership of the committee would be equally balanced between the parties which favor different methods of imposing tariffs. The bill requires the chairman and the vice-chairman to be selected biennially. This makes it Impossible to install in these important offices for a long term members who happen to belong to the political party in power when the appointment is made. In the first instance members are appointed for two, four, six. eight, ten and twelve years respectively. As their terms expire, however, their successors are appointed for twelve years." Keep Tariff Out of Politic*. It is urged by some members of congress that this specific division of the commission Into a membership of Republicans and Democrats as out* lined by the framer of the bill perhaps may not be possible as things develop. It is said that Inasmuch as the measure provides simply that not more than three members of the commission shall belong to any one party It will be possible to appoint three Democrats or three Republicans and then for Instance to appoint a Progressive, a Prohibitionist, a Socialist It Is the intention of the measure, however, to keep the tariff out of polltics and if the president shall exercise Judgment in the appointment of mem bers it can be made a commission nonpoHtical In its nature no matter what parties are represented. Ever since the tariff commission plan first was suggested the idea has been to Becure a membership which would consider the tariff as a business proposition and not as a political one. It is expected that business men and students of economics will be appointed to the commission. An Ideal commission, as members of all parties view It, would be one which would study business conditions throughout the country, would determine actually which Industries need protection and which do not, and then would act accordingly. It must not be supposed for a moment, however, that this bill or any other bill which has been framed in the past has for its object the appointment of a commission which shall concern Itself directly with tariff legislation. If this measure passes congress, as it is presumed that it will, the commission will be empowered to act only In an advisory capacity to congress. It will make studies of conditions here, there and everywhere, and then will lay Its reports before the president and the congress of the United 8tates. There is nothing in the proposed law, and there can be nothing In it which will In any way take sway from congress the right to legislate as it chooses In tariff matters. and the natural expansion of its us» fulness in saving life and properly at sea demand application of ihe art ot flying to search for derelicts and (or carrying aid to ships and meti in dis tress at sea" It was only recently that the liresaving corps of the United States, which is composed of men who patrol the beaches and the rocky headlands and who go to sea in small bouts at the risk of their own lives to rescue those In danger, was put upon a foot lag similar to that occupied by the revenue cutter service and In a measure by that occupied by the army and navy. For years the llfesavers at small pay haa risked everything for the saving of the property and the lives of others and yet when they were old and uaftt for service they were turned out without pensions and without any provision whatsoever for their declining years. Pay After Retirement. FRENCH STAND FURIOUS ASSAULTS C R O W N PRINCE'S A R M Y M A D E T E R R I F I C D R I V E 8 TO GAIN G R O U N D . ENORMOUS LOSS OF TEUTONS The Attack By the German* Was Centered Against Two Sectors the Western Bank of the River. WISCONSIN GETS A BIG SURPRISE on Paris The village of Bethincourt, forming the apex of the salient of the All this has been changed now and western bank of the Meuse, against Aero Corps to Help Coart Guard. Congress may act to provide aeroplanes as aids to the life-saving and the revenue cutter services of the United States, two services which recently have been merged into one under the name of the coast guard. Department officials are now en gatsd in perfecting a bill which will be Introduced into congress for the creayen of a coast guard aerial corps. Byron R. Newton, assistant secretary of the treasury, who has jurisdiction over the coast guards, says on this matter: "I favor any legislation which will provide for the development of the coast guard to a higher degree of etV the lifesav*ng service has been made a part of the revenue cutter service and the two together are called the coast guard. The men who dare all to help others can retire after a certain length of service and then they receive retired pay. For yearB attempts were male to Induce congress to render assistance to the service which always wes ready to give its help to others, but every attempt to do anything for the men who fronted wave and storm at the call of duty failed until a short time ago, when congress finally consented to act. If an aero coast guard service Is sanctioned by congress it will mean added dangers for the members of the coast guard. When a vessel reports by wireless that it Is in distress somewhere off the coaBt it !s the instant duty of a revenue cutter to put out to the rescue. It frequently happens that the cutter men cannot quickly locate the distressed ship because wave and wind and tide have changed its position, "t is believed that by the use of aeroplanes of the sea plane type vessels In distress more quickly can be located and help more quickly reo dered. It is believed also to be a part o£ the plan to equip some of the life-saving stations on the coast with aeroplanes. The thought 1B that an aeroplane putting seaward can pass a line over a stranded ship more accurately and quickly than It can be done by means of the mortars on shore which are now used to throw a projectile with a line attached to Bhips on the rocks or fast in the sand. The coast guard as It is constituted Is Uncle Sam's most recently organized service. Of course the revenue cutter and the life-saving services as distinct bodies have existed for years, but now they have been welded. State, War and Navy Club. Officials and employees of the state, war and navy departments have organized a social club which will have membership reaching into the thousands. The department of the interior set a club example two years ago, and It seems likely that it will be followed by all the other departments of government The Home club of Mr. Lanes department has been a huge ruccess. It Is said that Washington, In proportion to its population, has more social clubs than any other city in the Union, but the organizations for instruction and to promote sociability among the officials and clerks, ar* a departure in club life. Through ah the years of Washington's existence as the nation's capital nothing of the kind ever has been tried before, and this is regarded as an amazing fact by those who now see the possibilities in the case. The organization which the state, war and navy departments have set out to form has not yet been named. That it will take a definite name, following the example of the interior department's organization, which is called the Home club, there Is no doubt The state, war and navy workers are determined to put their club on a firm basis from the start and to make it a club after the manner of university clubs and other organizations which all the big cities contain. Will Erect a Building. A corporation has been formed, and the employees of the three departments have purchased stock at a modest figure. The money will be used to erect and equip a building to be used as the home of the club, one where the employees can gather for purposes of entertainment and instruction. The Home club of the Interior department has leased a fine residence on Lafayette square which formerly was the Persian legation, but It is the intention of the newly formed society to own its own building. Cabinet officers are much interested in the forming of these social organ!- cations In the departments of which they are the chiefs, tt is said that the government already has benefit* ted, from the fact that the workers In the interior department through the club life, have become better acquainted with one another, and there* fore have exchanged views of working conditions and concerning means which the Germans have been pounding for four days with heavy artillery and with frequent infantry attacks, was evacuated by the French Sunday the new lines withstood the most furious assaultB which have been made by the crown prince's army in many days.

' General Aguilar denied vigorously stories published ln the American press to the effect that the Carranza government had given permission to the United States army forces to use Negro Mexican railways for transportation of foodstuffs and supplies. "Please rectify these falBe statements," said General Aguilar to the Associated Press. "The Mexican government has not given the American government permission to use Mexican railways for any purpose whatever." Canada as a whole has enjoyed wonderful prosperity in 1915, from the products of the farm, the orchard and the centres of industry. No country wrote a brighter page of history in agricultural and industrial development during 1915 than Canada. Nearly a billion buBhelB of grain produced. Taxes in Western Canada average $24 and will not exceed $35 per quarter section, which includes all taxes. No taxes on improvements. When Western Canada was faced with her enormous harvest last fall the military authorities decided that soldiers in Canada could give the Empire no better service for the time being than to assist in harvesting the crops. For tnat reason leave of absence was given to soldiers who wished to work ln the harvest fields, and their labor was an important factor in harvesting the big crops successfully. The necessity for increasing the agricultural production is commanding even more attention ln 1916, and it Is now announced that soldiers in Canada may obtain leave of absence from their military duties in the spring for a certain length of time to enable them to plant the seed for the crops ln every Province of the Dominion. The fact that the Government recognizes the seeding and harvesting of Canada's crops as being of the first importance is perhaps the best evidence that conscription or any increase of taxes which would reduce the agricultural activity of Canada will never be considered by the authorities. Owing to the number who have enlisted for overseas service it has been found necessary to secure farm labor in the United States. It is hoped that fifty thousand can be secured.—Advertisement. AMERICAN SOLDIER IS KILLED Rich Woman Weds Bootblack. The number of marriages contracted since the war by women of enemy nationality with Frenchmen has become so great that the government has decided to ask parliament to pass a bill the result of which will be to deprive all such foreign brides of the benflts of the present French marriage laws.

Nobody will ever believe that you are going to go on building your dam and threatening to drown us, after fcbls." "What did I aay?" queried Broulllard, having, at the moment, only the haziest possible Idea of what he had said. "As If you didn't know!" she laughed. "You congratulated every body. And the funny thing about It Is that you didn't say a single word about the Niquoia dam." "Didn't 1? That shows how com pletely your father has converted me. how helplessly I am carried along on the torrent of events." "But you are not," she said accusingly. "Deep down in your Inner consciousness you don't believe a little bit in Mlrapolis. You are only playing tbe game with the rest of us, Mr. Broulllard." Gorman. Mr. Cortwrlght's ablest trumpeter In the real-estate booming, was holding the plaza crowd spell bound with prophetic outlining of tbe Mlrapolitan future. In the middle distance and backgrounding the buildings on the opposite side of the plara, rose the false work of the great dam—a standing forest of sawed timbers, whose afternoon shadows were already pointing like a many-flngered fate toward the city of the plain. But, though the face of the speaker was toward the shadowing forest, his words ignored it. "The snowcapped Timayonis." "tbe mighty Chigringo," and "the golden-veined slopes of Jack's mountain" all came In for enlogistic mention; but the massive wall of concrete, with Its bristling parapet of timbers, had no part In the orator's flamboyant descriptive. Broulllard loved Amy Masslngale with a passion which, however blind It might be on the side of the higher moralities, was still keen-sighted enough to assure him that every plunge be made in the Mirapolltan whirlpool was sweeping him farther away from her. He had transferred the power company's stock, minus a single share to cover his official standing on the power company's board, to Cortwright and had opened an account at the Niquoia National. The ninety-nine thousand nine hundred dollars had since p e w n by speculative accretions to the Ultnded eighth of a million which all meters agree In calling the stepping je to fortune- Re had regarded thfi money—was still regarding It—as a loan; hia lever with which to pry out something which he could really call his own But more and more possession and use were dull* Ing the keen edge of accountability and there were momenta of insight when the grim Irony of taking tbe price of h c = r \a pay an honor debt forced 'teelf upon him. At such momenta be plunged more recklessly, In one of them taking stock In a golddredge company which waa to wash nuggets by the wholesale out of the Qoadjenal Dead, fo soother buying yet oilier options ta the newest suburb of sHrapotta With «»e waning of the day of celebrations the temper of the street thrcngs was changing. It Is only the people of the Latinized cities who can take the carnival spirit lightly; in other blood liberty grows to license and tbe thin veneer of civilized restraints quickly disappears. From early dawn the saloons and dives had been adding fuel to tbe flames, and light-heartedness and good-natured horseplay were giving way to sardonic humor and brutality. In the short faring through the crowded street from the plaza to the Metropole corner Broulllard saw and heard things to make his blood boil Twice before he reached Bongras' cafe entrance the engineer shouldered his way to the rescue of some badgered nucleus of excursionists, and jn each Instance there were frightened women to be hurriedly spirited away to the nearest place of seclusion and safety. It was In front of Bongras' that Broulllard came upon Rev. Hugh Castner, the hot-hearted young zealot who had been flung Into Mlrapolis on the crest of the tidal wave of mining excitement. Though Hosford—who had not been effaced, as Mr. Cortwright had promised he should be—and the men of his clique called the young missionary a meddlesome visionary, ho stood in the stature of a man, and lower Chlgringo avenue loved him and swore by him now and then when somo poor soul, hastily summoned, was to be eased off Into eternity. When Broulllard caught sight of him Castner was looking out over the seething street caldron from hlB commanding height of six feet of athletic man stature, his strong face a mask of bitter humiliation and concern. "Broulllard, this Is simply hideous!" he exclaimed. "If this devils' carnival goes on until nightfall we shall hare a revival of the old Roman Saturnalia at Its worst!" Then, with a swift blow at the heart of the matter: "You're the man I've been wanting to see; you are pretty close in with the Cortwright Junta—is it true that free whisky has been dealt out to the crowd over the bar In the Niquoia building?" Broulllard said that he did not know, which was true, and that he could not believe It possible, which was not true. "The Cortwright people are as anxious to have the celebration pass off peaceably as even you can be," he assured the young missionary, trying to buttress the thing which waa not true. "When riot comes In at the door, business flies out at the window; and, after ail. this feast of hurrahs is merely another bid for business." But Castner was shaking his head. "I can't answer for Mr. Cortwright personally. He and Handley and Schermerhorn and a few of the others seem to stand for respectability of a sort But, Mr. Broulllard, I want to tell you this: somebody in authority is grafting upon the vice of this community, not only today but all the time." "The community Is certainly vicious enough to warrant any charge you can make," admitted Broulllard. Then he changed the topic abruptly. "Have you seen Miss Masslngale since noon?" "Yes; I saw her with Smith, the cattleman, at the other end of the avenue about an hour ago." "Heavens!" gritted the engineer. "Didn't Smith know better than to take her down there at such a time as this?" The young missionary was frowning thoughtfully. "1 think It was the other way about Her brother has been drinking again, and I took It for granted that she and Smith were looking for him." Broulllard buttoned his coat and pulled his soft hat over his eyes. "I'm going to look for her," he said. "Will you come slongTM Castner nodded, and together they put their shoulders to the crowd. Again end again the engineer and his companion had to intervene by word sod blow to protect the helpless In the half-drunken, gibe-flinging crush, and In these sallies Castner bore hit part like a man, expostulating first and hitting out afterward In a fashion that left no doubt In the mind of his antagonist of the moment "It waa little lest thsn s crime to turn your laborers loose on the town on inch an occasion as this." said Castner, dealing out hit words as frankly and openly as he did his blows. Broulllard throggadL "If I hadnt given them ti?» 4ay they would have taken It without leave You'll have to pass the responsibility on to someone higher up." The militant one accepted the challenge promptly. "It lies altimately at the door ot those whose Insatiate greed baa built this new Gomorrah In the shadow of your dam." He wheeled suddenly and flung a long arm toward ire hair nn lahed structure filling the gap between the western shoulders of Chlgringo and Jack's mountain. "There stands the proof of God's wisdom In hiding the future from mankind. Mr Broull lard. Because a little section of bu manity here behind that great wall knows the end of its hopes, and the manner and time of that end. it becomes demon-ridden, irreclaimable!" At another time the engineer might have felt the force of the tersely eloquent summing up of the accusation against the Mirapolltan attitude. Rut now he was looking anxiously for Amy Masslngale or her escort, or both of them. "Surely Smith wouldn't let her stay down here a minute longer than it took to get her away," he said Impatiently as a pair of drunken Cornish men reeled out of Haley's place and usurped the sidewalk. "Where was It you saw them, Castner?" "They were in front of 'Pegleg John's,' in .the next block. Miss Mas singale was waiting for Smith, who was Just coming out of Peglegs den shaking his head. I put two and two together and guessed they were look ing for Stephen." "If they went there Miss Amy had her reasons. Let's try It," said Brouil lard, and he was half-way across the street when Castner overtook him There was a dance hall next door to Pegleg John's barrel house and gam bllng rooms, and, though the daylight was still strong enough to make tbe electrics garishly unnecessary the orgy was in full swing, the raucous clanging of a piano and the shuffle and stamp of many feet drowning the monotonous cries of the sidewalk "barker," who was Inviting all and sundry to enter and Join the dancers. Castner would have stopped to ques tlon the "barker"—was, in fact, trying to make himself heard—when the sharp crash of a pistol shot dominated the clamor of the piano and the stamping feet Broulllard made a quick dash for the open door of the neighboring barrel house, and Castner was so good a second that they burst In as one man. The dingy Interior of Pegleg John s. which was merely a barrel-lined vest! bule leading to the gambling rooms beyond, staged a tragedy. A handsome young giant, out of whose face sudden agony had driven the brooding passion of intoxication, lay, loose-flung on the sawdust-covered floor, with Amy Masslngale kneeling In stricken, tearless misery beside him. Almost within arm's reach Van Bruce Cortwright the slayer, was wrestling stubbornly with Tig Smith and the fat armed barkeeper, who were trying to disarm him, his heavy face a mask of irresponsible rage and his lips bub bllng Imprecations. "Turn me loose." he gritted. "I'll flx him so he won't give the governor's snap away! He'll pipe the story of the Coronlda grant off to the papers? —not If 1 kill him till he's too dead to bury, 1 guess." Castner Ignored the wrestling three and dropped quickly on his knees be side Stephen Masslngale, bracing the misery-stricken girl with the needed word of hope and directing her In low tones how to help him search for the wound. But Broulllard hurled himself with an oath upon young Cortwright and it was be, and neither the cattleman nor the fat-armed barkeeper, who wrenched the weapon out of Cortwrlght's grasp and with It menaced the babbling mur derer Into silence. CHAPTER XV Quicksands A short week after the reclamation service headquarters had been moved from the log-built offices on the gov ernment reservation to the com modi out and airy suite on tbe sixth floor of the Niquoia budding Broulllard re ceived the summons which he bad been expecting ever since the night of rioting and lawlessness which bad marked the close of the railroad cele oration. "Mr. Cortwright would like to tee yon tn hit rooms at the Metropole.' was tbe message the office boy brought, and Broulllard closed hit desk with t snap and followed the boy to Boagrtt The shrewd-eyed tyrant of Mlrapolis was In his shirt sleeves, busily die tattng to two stenographers alternate ly, when the engineer entered the third room of the series; hut the work waa suspended and the stenographers were aeni away aa soon as Brodlllard was announced "Well," waa the aiilllonalre'B greet Ing. you waited io bu ueni tor. didn't you ?' "Why not?"' aald Erouillard shortly. "I have cuy work to do and you bare yours " "Aud tbe two Joba are at opposite enda of the string, you d say Never mind; we can't afford to throw each other down, and Juat now you can tell me a few things that I want to know. How la young Masaingale get ting along''1 "As well as could be expected Car ruthera-lhe doctor aaya he is oui of danger" "H'Hi. It baa been handed In to mt two or three tlmea lately thai the old man la oat gunning for Van Bruce or tor me. Any truth In that?" "I think not. Masaingale la a Ken tuckian, and 1 fancy he ia quite caps ble of potting either one or both of you for the attack on hts son Hut so far he has done nothing-has hardly left Steve's bedside." Mr. J. Wealey Cortwright flung him self back In hia luxurious awing chair and clasped hia pudgy hands over iht top of his head where the reddish gray hair was thinning reluctantly "I've been putting it off to see which way the cat was going to Jump," be ad mitted. "If young Maaaiugale is out of danger, it la time to get action. What was the quarrel about, between btm and Van Bruce?" "It occurs to me trnt your son would be a better source of Information, said Broulllard, evading. "Van Bruce has told me all he re members—which Isfl't much, owing to his own beastly condition at the time He says young Masslngale was threat ening something—something In con nection with the Corontda grant—and that he got the insane idea into hta head that the only way to atop the threat was by killing Masslngale." The sandy-gray eyes of the million aire promoter were shifting while be spoke, but Broulllard fixed and held them before he said: "Why should Masslngale threaten your son. Mr Cortwright?" "I don't know," denied the promoter, and he said It without flinching a hair's breadth. "Then I ran tell you," waa the equal ly steady rejoinder. "Some time ago you lent David Masslngale, through the bank, a pretty large Bum of money for development expenses on the 'Little Susan, taking a mortgage on every thing in sight to cover tbe loan. But when the railroad was an assured fact he learned that the Red Butte smelt ers wouldn't take his ore. giving some technical reason which he knew to be a mere excuse." Mr. Cortwright nodded. "So far you might be reading It out of a book." "In consequence, David Masslngale finds himself In a fair way to become a broken man by the simplest of com mercial processes. Tbe bank holds his notes, which will presently have to be paid. If he can't pay, the bank comes back on you as his Indorscr, and you fall back on your mortgage and take the mine. Isn't that about the Blze of It?" "It Is exactly the size ot it I do want tbe 'Little Susan' and I've got a good friend or two in the Red Butte smelters who will help me get It." Brouillard's black eyes were snapping, but his voice was quite steady when he said: "Thank you. That brings us down to the mention of the Coronlda grant and Stephen Masslc gale's threat—which your son can't re member." "Rtght-o," said Mr. Cortwright. still with predetermined geniality. "What was the threat?" "1 don't know, but the guessing list is open to everybody. There was once a grant of many square miles of mountain and desert somewhere in thit re glon made to one Don Estacio de Hon tarrtba Coronlda, Like those of most of the great Spanish land grants, the boundaries of this one were loosely described and—* Mr. Cortwright held up a fat hand "I know what you're going to say. But we went into all that at Washing ton before we ever invested a single dollar in this valley. As you may or may not know, the reclamation serv ice bureau tried to choke us off. But when it came down to brass tacks. they lacked a witness. We may be tn the bed of your proposed lake, but we're safely on Coronlda land." "So you say,M said Broulllard quietly, "and on the strength of that you havt been guaranteeing titles. Just there is where Masslngale conies In. I imagine. He has spent twenty years or more in this region, and be knows every landmark tn It. What tf he should be able to put a lighted match to your pile of kindling.

T h a t the event was connected with the -church was indicated by the many "temporary stands, decorated with colored tissue paper—which ornamented t h e street corners, where were sold -candles of every size—larger and hollow a t the end to fit over a metal point of a many-pronged church candelat r u m , and tapering to a sharp point at t h e other end, where they were tied in bunches by their wicks, and hung in t h e booths alternating, yellow and w h i t e . At the corners hung those of s h o u l d be there to join in their most u n i q u e celebration, Light flashed upon us, however, 'When we discovered in the hallway of the hotel a calendar, in large Greek type, which read as follows: "March 26, Thursday," and underneath in small type in French: "April 8, Holy T h u r s d a y , " showing that the Greek calculation is thirteen days behind the rest of Europe, therefore for them E a s t e r had not yet arrived. T h a t afternoon our discovery was confirmed as we walked through the old part of town, where the shops are. T h e counter of the public baker, whose e n o p opened to the street, was lined with rows of round loaves of bread a w a i t i n g the ordeal of the fiery furnace. Each contained five bright-red, hard-boiled eggs, pressed half-way into t h e soft dough In the shape of a Greek c r o s s ; all exactly alike, but each distinguished from its neighbors by a slip of paper sticking to the dough, which bore the name of the housewife who had kneaded it. On Good Friday we directed our -course by the dome-crowned spires of t h e Russian church, where the queen. t h e Bister of the czar, and the Russian .minister, occupied opposite boxes. At the close of the beautiful service, the responses of which were sung by a marvelous choir of unaccompanied m a l e voices, the priests brought to the front a representation of a tomb, havi n g a half-draped figure of Christ painte d on the top, and the sides covered •with rich embroidery of white and rgold. T h e queen advanced, kissed the rep- T e s e n t a t i o n of the dead body, and then t h e hand of the officiating priest, from w h o m she received a stalk of white gillyflower, and with the Russian minu t e r , who followed her example, left t h e church. T h e others of the audience c o n c l u d e d their worship in the same m a n n e r , each bearing away a floral r e m i n d e r of t h e coming resurrection. T h a t night t h e s e representations of t h e entombed Christ were borne in s o l e m n procession from the five princ i p a l churches, attended by the priests "In gorgeous robes, acolyteB bearing liaaners and colored lanterns, and followed by the m e m b e r s of t h e parish, • *«ech c a r r y i n g a lighted candle. A t Intervals, the procession halted -and a service was held; then each congregatlon r e t u r n e d to its own church, -•and long after all was still, in A t h e n a t h e flickering lights of the priests of *the C h u r c h of S t George could be seen •winding up t h e zigzag path to their ^aanctoary on t h e top of Lykabettos, * b e pointed hill which rises abruptly from t h e h e a r t of Athens. With t h e enshrining of Christ's body to t h e t o m b on Friday a fast was beg a n , lasting until the morning of his I W U i t r t l r m Therefore, Saturday was .qeletly spent until an hour or so betjore midnight, when s t r e a m s of peorple, each p e r s o n bearing a lighted •candle, poured through the streets ajgfltiif into the great square before 4fca church of the metropolitan. T h e t r e a t edifice, Illumined by tboeof huge candles in chaadelfers • e i l n l s U s was packed to the ami the square was filled to r overflowing with a restless sea of twinkling lights; the windows and balconies of the houses facing three sides of the square were ablaze with flickering tapers, and even t h e courses of the church and its bell towers were outlined by the tiny flames. The stars above looked pale and scattered in comparison. The king and queen and other members of the royal family, also government officials and noted guests, sat upon the edge of the platform erected In the center of the square. At length, the choir boys emerged from the doors of t h e cathedral, followed by the chanting priests, and finally by the metropolitan himself, arrayed in gorgeous robes, with a miter on his head and a bishop's crook in his hand. The procession ascended the platform where the venerable, kind-hearted man, with flowing white beard, raised his fingers in blessing over the waiting worshipers, and the beautiful music of the mass floated out on the silent air. Beside our breakfast plates, on Sunday morning, lay a bright red Easter egg, an emblematic gift—freely exchanged in Greece—but the chief event of this day of rejoicing was the dancing of the soldiers and of the bodyguard of the king. The l a t t e r took place in the courtyard of t h e royal palace, and t h e members of t h e guard w e r e attired, a s always, in t h e costume of Thessaly, their native province. As we were unprepared for the sight which met our eyes, our first impression was t h a t an a u t o m a t o n ballet chorus was running down. They wore very full-plaited skirts of starched white linen—stopping several Inches above t h e knee—white woolen tights, black g a r t e r s , with cords and tassels and red pointed shoes with h u g e pompoms on t h e tip of t h e toes. A white linen shirt, a zouave jacket with long flowing sleeves of white wool embroidered with black, and a red cap with a long black silk tassel reaching below t h e shoulder completed this very unmllitary costume. Monday was a quiet day, distinguished only by doubled carfares and t h e presence of n u m e r o u s peasants from surrounding districts, wearing attractive provincial costume. The national independence day fell on Holy Thursday, and being therefore postponed w a s celebrated on Tuesday morning. Prom o v hotel balcony we viewed t h e procession and a t t e n d a n t crowds. At the door of t h e palace across the square t h e king and queen stepped into their carriage. They were followed in the procession by the Crown P r i n c e Constanttne and his wife, the sister of the kaiser, then by Prince George and his bride, the Bonaparte princess, whom the Greeks welcomed with open arms, as the only member of the royal family who Is Greek, since the Bonaparte family were residents of Corsica while it was Greek territory, Napoleon being born only a few days after its transfer to France. The procession, accompanied by bands of music and a brilliant array of mounted soldiers, proceeded to the church of the metropolitan where mass was held. On the afternoon of Easter Tuesday all eyes were turned toward Megara, distant from Athens two hours by train, where the far-famed peasant dances t a k e place. In the large public square of the little town the women, dressed in holiday attire, Joined hands alternately across each other, forming long, straight lines, and danced, first In one direction and then in the opposite, a performance of no Bpecial grace or beauty, but made attractive by their pretty faces and curious costumes, and the great numbers of lines, tripping one way and then the other. Beneath the black skirts bordereC with a broad, red band hung several inches of handmade thread lace, from the white petticoats, the pride of t h e industrious wearer. The tight black bodices and yellow head scarfs were adorned with many loops of silver and gold coins, the dowries of the wearers, and some of the more wealthy, were resplendent in trimming of gold lace. They were pleased when we admired the beauty of the embroidery which their own hands had wrought on their aprons of bright-colored silk. The crowd of spectators encircling the dancers was so dense that we took refuge In a balcony t h a t overlooked the square and gained a most comprehensive and picturesque view. Here and there the long lines formed into a circle and a single man. attired in t h e abbreviated costume of t h e Thessalonians or in a checked gingham Jumper with an equally short, full-ruffled Bklrt, led the national d a n c e we had seen In Athens, to the accompaniment of stringed instruments. And thus closed the E a s t e r festivities, but not the holidays, for the pan- Hellenic games were celebrated for four days, beginning with Thursday— in t h e wonderful ancient stadium, restored to pristine glory by the munificence of a Greek of Alexandria. T h e games engaged in by a t h l e t e s from all p a r t s of Greece w e r e umpired by. Crown Prince Constantino, while t h e royal seats, covered with crimson v e l v e t w e r e occupied by other m e m b e r s of the royal family. T h e r e were t h e usual running, wrestling, pole vaulting, h a m m e r t h r o w i n g and shot putting, but t h e day of greatest interest was on Sunday, when t h e Marathon r a c e was run—begun at tl scene of t h e battle, and covering u* course, of the original runner, who bore t h e news of t h e defeat of the Persians. As t h e first man came into sight the great middle gates were thrown open—the only time they are ever unlocked, and the runners finished their M-mlle race between the goal posts at the upper end of the stadium, amid the deafening eh ef the waiting MARKET QUOTATIONS L : v c S t o c k . lilVriiU': Y -Yj.U-1' Itcci fiefat ijtru.', _. iU-i.-rs, $5.JU>J.'J, ay we.-:;., OJ;> ii'-r alters, $' Uiixt d .-.u-».-r- and a*:i.r<--".-, handy i'.£'.n ^uU'.'ic.'i, ;• li&h: jjuiehera, J o ' ^ 7 , bt-.^i c SWAMP-ROOT FOR KIDNEY DISEASES $v :'5u». ,. i•„ a 7.

The positive statement by Major Howze that Villa was hiding in the mountains near Laborja would indicate that the story of Villa's death is untrue, for the reason that his location is far from the place where it was reported his body has been found. General Funs-ton has received no confirmation whatever from any source to substantiate the story of Villa's death. It is the belief of many that if a body is being brought to Chihuahua, purporting to be Villa's, it is a trick of the Mexicans to have an excuse for American troops to be keeper.

The most gigantic conflict in the history of the world, the battle of Verdun has entered upon its ninth week. It is in many respects without precedent. The enormous scale of the German preparations and execution of the attack, the unparalleled concentration of artillery and the sustained ferocity of the fighting mark the battle as one of the greatest efforts of the war. Verdun has been rated as one of the strongest fortresses of Europe, a cornerstone of the French defenses against Germany. The evolution of military tactics during the war, however, and particularly the employment by the Germans of long range howitzers capable of reducing the greatest forts, have done much to change the character of the Verdun campaign as compared with the earlier conceptions of what sudn a struggle might be. In no previous battle were the losses so high as those which have been estimated in the fighting around Verdun. These estimates, however, cannot be regarded as conclusive evidence, for neither Germany nor France has announced its own casualties. The French war office has declared the Germans have lost 200,000 in killed, wounded and captured. The Germans state semi-offlcially that the French casualties number 150,000 kill- j ed and wounded and that 36,000 unwounded French prisoners have been ! taken. If these estimates are approx- ' imately correct, nearly 400,000 men have been eliminated as fighting unitsr Mew tc avoid *&peratwns These Three Women Tell How They Escaped the Dreadful Ordeal of Surgical Operations.

YOUNGER ONES IN ARMIES Elderly Foreigners at Capital Arc Forced to Toil Day and Night, for Their Manifold Duticn Arc Burdensome and Exacting. By GEORGE C L I N T O N . Washington.—Who are the hardest working officials or government In Washington today'.' The quick answer might be the president of the United States, the secre tary of atate and the secretary of war. In making this answer there would b* an ignoring of the hard labor claims of the ambassadors and the m e m b e r s of their staffs who represent belligerent countries today in the capital of t h e United States. The president, because of foreign, Mexican and legislative troubles, •works virtually all day and sometimes p r e t t y well into the night. The secret a r y of state, because of threatening?; from across the water and from Mex ico, is compelled perhaps more frequently than t h e president to extend his hours into the dark time. The secretary of war is a new man in office and his work is particularly trying because he has a lot to learn and on top of what might be called his school ing has been imposed the necessity of looking after the welfare of our army in Mexico and along the border. This work of the American officials is hard and driving, but it is neither harder nor more driving perhaps than t h a t which daily must be undertake?) by the a m b a s s a d o r s and other diplom a t s in America representing the warring powers abroad. Russians, Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans and the rest over the water are serving their governments in the trenches, but while their work may be the more dangerous it cannot be any more taxing than that which falls to the daily lot of the diplom a t i c r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s of these coun t r i e s In this capita! of the United States. Hard Work for Elderly Men. It has been said that the work of the foreign soldiers abroad may be more dangerous than that of their civilians now in this country in official capacities, but it may be that this s t a t e m e n t in Itself is a trifle overdrawn. Some of the a m b a s s a d o r s and their staff officers are getting along in life and as many of them work 16 hours a day the heavy burden of the labor makes them run the danger of actually being worked to death. When the war broke out nearly all of the younger men attached to the embassies in Washington immediately started home to Join the colors, With the exception of one or two foreign offices in Washington the staffs are composed of men who have been sent over here because they had become lnca pacitated for service in the trenches. When one m e e t s a noticeably tired looking man in Washington the natural Inference is that he is a diplomat r e p r e s e n t i n g one of the warring countries. This recently has been written concerning the work of the foreigners in W a s h i n g t o n : "In not one of the embassies of the belligerents in this town is such an order known as 'lights out'. From ambassador to doorman the foreigners toil away until exhaustion comes and forces- them to bed. The belligerent foreign g o v e r n m e n t s ought to send Red Cross d e t a c h m e n t s to their emb a s s i e s <:. Washington." Their Manifold Duties. It might be thought that even in war times the a m b a s s a d o r s of the powers which are engaged in war would be occupied only with duties connected with the s t a t e d e p a r t m e n t of this governm e n t Diplomacy, as it is generally understood, forms only a small part of the daily work of a Jusserand, a Von Bernstorff. or a Spring-Rice. T h e s e men are made the sympathetic recipient* of every plea in behalf of their countries. They are obliged to give ad- Ylce and support to hundreds upon hundreds of organizations all over the United States which are engaged in work In behalf of the destitute or the wounded in the countries which the ambassadors represent Diplomatic correspondence ts but a trifling matter of the day when com pared to the scores upon scores of lett e r s which must be answered from Iters, there and everywhere concerning w a y s and means of doing something to aid t h e stricken in the countries at war. The absence of the younger men h a s increased the burden of the elder m e n who today are dofrg the work t h a t formerly was done by their assistants, and who have their own work In addition. To this must be added the of various kinds of which the days knew nothing. •tree Interest Lawmakers. Sarin*; makes the staid lawmakers kin tart their fancies Uajhtly I ' to uther things ctian ieglsiaciuj.. The btauLics ot nature, bird songs and other pulsings or the spring season move them out ot their Winter moodb. For a week past the telephone ot a newspaper correspondent in Washington who has made an almost lifelong study of birds has been ringing as a summons to him to tell someone at the other end of the line what the wonderfully beautiful birds are that have come to Washington tn such great flocks this seauon. One of these telephone messages was from the office of the speaker of the house of r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s . Champ Clark. whose secretary wanted to know the Identity of the visiting birds and to give the information to many interest- j ed ones In the capttol. ! Cedar Waxwing Visits Capital. The speaker's secretary. Wallace Bassford, is an observing man. He had watched a Mock of visiting birds for a long time Just outside the capltol, and he brought back to his office with him a perfect description of the visitors. The birds are not at all rare, but seemingly fairly r b u n d a n t as they are, they a r e s t r a n g e r s to most people in Washington. The visitor is the cedar waxwing, frequently knowu in the country districts as the cherry bird. It is the Beau Brummel of its type, dressed as it is with exquisite neatness, with attractive yet not gaudy coloring. On each wing is a little flaming red deposit like wax, from which the bird gets its more common name of waxwing. One day not long ago, a senator of the T'nited States came into the capitol in some excitement and told a half a dozen of his colleagues that t h e r e was a quail on t h e capitol lawn. He said the quail had no business there, that it ought to be out in the wilder places, along the hedges or the borders of the corn fields in Maryland or Virginia. One or two of the senators to whom the information concerning the quail's presence was imparted were skeptical about the matter, and PO they asked the superintendent of the senate press gallery to a.sk the ornlthologically inclined newspaper correspondent to investigate. He did so, and found that the quail which had aroused the inter est of the senator was no quail at all. but a flicker, or yellow-winged woodpecker, or high-holder. This beautiful and rommon woodpecker has about a hundred and fifty names by which it is known locally. The flicker is one of the most abundant of our woodpeckers, and yet a country-bred senator of the United States, standing within twenty feet of the bird, thought it was a quail. War Department Rushed. Eiders among the correspondents in Washington when they visit the war d e p a r t m e n t are reminded sharply today of the time of the Spanish war, The Mexican trouble has started the machinery into renewed and quickened motion. The heads of d e p a r t m e n t s and many of the employees are work- j ing longer hours than the soldiers in the Held. Some time ago there was an a t t e m p t made in congress to add an hour to < the working day of the employees of the government. An a m e n d m e n t which was proposed to a pending bill was intended to increase the length of the working day, but it was overwhelmingly defeated. One of the prime reasons for the defeat of the m e a s u r e was the showing made by the chiefs of the d e p a r t m e n t s that when the pinch came all the government's employees were willing to work overtime and did so, although they received no extra pay, This Is one of the times in the war d e p a r t m e n t when men who are compelled by law to work seven hours a day really a r e working many additional hours and It is said that they a r - doing It willingly. Perhaps the most exacting duties of the war dep a r t m e n t today are those of General Crozier, chief of ordnance; General Aleshire, chief of the q u a r t e r m a s t e r s ' corps, and his immediate Junior, Gen« eral Sharp, who looks after commissary m a t t e r s . Probably no outsider has any conception of the beadquarter's work t h a t is necessary when even so small an army is in t h e held as t h a t which Is now operating in Mexico and along the border. Food and Clothing Problems. The soldier, as the old saying goes, marches and fights on his belly. In other words, the trooper has to be well fed or he can neither fight nor march as he ought to be able to do If he is to "get there" and to win battles. Not only must a soldier be well fed, but be must be well clothed and both food and clothing must be accommodated to the climate tn which the troops are operating. Th«ire are all kinds of climate In Mexico, the terrific heat of the lowlands, the fairly temperate climate of the midhighlands and the severe cold of the upper mountain regions. All these things had to be taken into consideration in preparing Pershing's punitive expedition for its incursion Into the Mexican field.

Is Wilson's laat Inquiry closed by the German reply that they were sunk in accordance with the rules of cruiser warfare. Germany, however, is willing to meet the United States half way and do everything in her power to avoid a crisis, with respect to the channel packet SuBsex. The government's strong desire for a continuance of friendly relations with the United States is emphasized by editorial utterances. Apparently warned by the government, those n e w s p a p e r s which in the past have attacked the position States with reference NATIONAL GUARD MONEY "SHAMEFULLY" UTiLlZED Two Provisions Written in Army 81 Gives All National Guard Men Above Captain $500 a Year. W a s h i n g t o n - Secretary of W a r Baker h a s issued a prepared state nuent t h a t no change in the orders to the American troops in Mexico I has been made and none i-s contemplated. The secreary's s t a t e m e n t was interpreted as an official announcement t h a t the troops will remain in Mexico. It follows: "The s t a t u s of the expedition into i ; . D o a t campaign, havt Mexico is as it was in the beginning, m o r e conciliatory in cordial co-operation with the de facto government of Mexico. T h a t cooperation continues. T h e r e has been no change in the purpose; no change has been made in the orders and none is in contemplation." Publication by the Mexican government of the terms under which it will permit American troops to continue the punitive expedition forced officials to the conclusion that a crisis is close at hand. As a means of opening up diplomatic discussion of the question Secrotary Lansing sent telegraphic instructions to J a m e s L. Rodgers, the s t a t e d e p a r t m e n t ' s r e p r e s e n t a t i v e at Queretaro. to notify Carranza that the United States "will t r e a t " with him for withdrawal ot the troops. State r.nd war d e p a r t m e n t officials nrivately agree, however, that in the light of Carranza'* demands an agreement between the two governments is out of the question. President Wilson sent for Duval West, of Texa.-. at one time his confident ia! agent in Mexico. West recommended after his return from Mexico t h a t t h e government havt1 nothing to do with Carranza. The report f-pread in connection with West's vint that President Wilson is considering n break with Carranza unless the first chief acquiesces in the purposes of the American expedition to capture Villa. There was added anxiety at the war department over the perilous posi;ion in which Gen. Pershing's expeditionary forces are placed by Carranza's threatened atttude. of the United to Germany's been sih-nt, or W a s h i n g t o n — T w o more provisions designed to s t r e n g t h e n the federal status of the national guard were written into the senate army bill. In the course of a debate enlivened by charges t h a t federal funds provided the national guard in past years had been foolishly thrown away and in some cases embezzled, the senate adopted a m e n d m e n t s providing that all officers of the guard above the rank of captain be paid $5tni a y.<ar by the federal government and that all g u a r d s m e n on enlistment he required to take an oath to obey orders from the president as well as the governor of their respective state-. The attack on guard officers for their use of federal funds was made by Senator Borah, in a speech opposing the Reed amendment for federal pay. The Idaho senator declared the. 18.000,000 available annually for use of the guard under the Dick militia law had been "shamefully" utilized by officers to the exclusion of enlisted men, and that some of it had been "embezzled," Senators Reed, Pomerene and others defended the guardsmen and the federal pay amendment was adopted 41 to 14.

Wesley Cortw r i g h t and explains the reclamation work to him. Cortwright organizes a company a n d obtains government contracts to furnish power and material. Steve MasalngaJe threatens to start a gold rush If Brouillard does not use his influence to bring a railroad branch to the place, thus opening an eaay m a r k e t for the "Little S u s a n " mine ore. Brouillard tells Amy Massingale of his need Tor money to pay off his dead father's debts. She tells him t o be tine to himself. He decides for the extension, Mirnpolis, the city of numbered days, booms. Cortwright persuades Brouillard to become consulting engineer of the power company In return for $100.- <J00 stock. Stoppage of work on the railroad threatens a panic. Brouillard spreads t h e Massingale story of placer gold in t h » river bed and s t a r t s a gold rush, which promises to stop the reclamation project.

She loves him. b u t shows him that he has become demoralised, A real gold And is made. Brouillarfl sella his stock but does not pay his father' s debts. Cortwright's son shoots D a v e MasslnjrMe. Brouillard threatens Cortwright with exposure if he pushes Massingale to the wall. 8 There comes a time In the life j? of every young man who Is & smothering his soul to gratify 2 his senses and selling his char- 5 acter for money, when opportu- X nity is given h i m to t u r n about 3- face, to rediscover his Ideals 8 and get back to common hon- *} esty. Has B r o u i l l a r d reached r> this point? S" C H A P T E R — X V — C o n t i n u e d . The promoter pulled himself erect frith a grip on either arm of the chair. "Brouillard, do you know what you are talking about?" he demanded. "No; it la only a guess. But as matters stand—with your son indictable for an attempted murder . . . it J were you, Mr. Cortwright, 1 believe I'd give David Massingale a chance to pay those notes at the bank." "And let him blackmail me? Not In a month of Sundays, Brouillard! Let him sell his ore and pay the notes If he can. If he can't, I'll take the mine." "All right," said the visitor placably. "You asked, and I've answered. Now let's come to something more vital to both of us. There la a pretty persistent rumor on the street that you and your associates succeeded In getting a resolution through both houses of congress at the last session, appointing a committee to investigate this Coronida claim right here on the ground. Nobody seems to have any definite details, and it possibly hasn't occurred to anyone that congress hasn't been In session since Mirapolls was born. But that doesn't malter. The committee Is coming; youJKave engaged rooms for it here 4flSHecgraa'. Vou are expecting the prrvate-car special next week." "Well?" said the magnate. "You're a pretty good kindergartner. But what of it?" "Oh, nothing. Only I think you might have taken me in on the little side play. What if 1 had gone about town contradicting the rumor?" "Why should you? it's true. The congressional party will be here next week, and nobody has made any secret of i f • "Still. 1 might have been taken in." persisted Brouillard suavely. "You'll surely want to give me my instruct i n g Z l!tt!« beforehand, won't youT Just think how easily *«*._ might get tangled Suppose I should say to •Ones* body—to ^Oarner, for example—that the town <ras hugely mistaken; that no congressional committee had ever been appointed; that these gentleman who are about to visit us are mere complaisant friends of yours, coming as your guests, on a junketing trip at your expense. Wouldn't that be rather awkward ?" The mayor of Mirapolls brought his hands together, fist In palm, and for a flitting Instant the young engineer saw In the face of the father the same expression that he had seen In the face of the son when Van Brace Cortwright was struggling for a second chance to kill a man. "Damn you!" said the magnate savagely; "you always know too much I Yon Ye bargaining with me!" "Well, yon hare bargained with me, first, last and all the time," waa the cool retort "On each occasion I have had my pries, and yon have paid It N o v yo« are going to pa?

"There tti one weak j chain. Mr. Curtwrlgbt," ly; "you don'i know men. Put on your coai and come over to Harlan's office with nae. It will take Just about two ruinutea to satisfy you that I'm not bluffing." For a mo merit It appeared that the offer waa to be accepted. But when he had one arm In a coat sleeve, Lirouillard's antagonist In the game of hardihood changed his tactics. "Forget It," he growled morosely. "What do you want thin time'.'"' "1 want you to send a wire to Red Butte telling the smelter people that you will be glad to have them handle the 'Little Susan' ore." -And If 1 do?" "'If you do, two things otherwise due to happen adversely will go over to your side of the market. I'll agTee to keep out of the way of the sham Washington delegation, and I think I ean promise that Harlan won't make a scarehead of the facts concerning the Coronida land titles." Mr. Cortwright thrust the other arm into the remaining coat Bleeve and scowled. But the rebound to the norm of brusque good nature came almost Immediately. "You are Improving wonderfully, Brouillard, and that's no joke, I have a large respect for a man who can outbid me in my own corner. Vou ought to be in business—and you will be, some time. I'll send the wire, but 1 warn you in advance that I can't make the smelter people take Massingale's ore if they don't want to. All I can do is to give the old man a free field." "That Is all he will ask—all I'll ask, except one small personal favor: Don't rub your masquerading Washington delegation into me too hard. A fine quality of noninterference is about all you are buying from me." "Tell me one thing, Brouillard: What'is your stake in the Massingale game? Are you a silent partner in the 'Little Susan'?" "No." "Then why are you so anxious to make old David a rich man at my expense? Are you going to marry the girl?" The engineer did not resent the question as he would have resented It a few weeks earlier. Instead he smiled and said: "A little while ago, Mr. Cortwright, I told you that you didn't know men; now I'll add that you don't know women." Public opinion, skillfully formed upon models fashioned in Mayor Cortwright's municipal laboratory, dealt handsomely with the little group of widely-heralded visitors—the "congressional committee." When It was whispered about, some days before the auspicious arrival, that the visiting lawmakers wished for no public demonstration of welcome, it was resolved, both in the city council and in the Commercial club, that the wish should be rigidly respected. Hence, after the farewell banquet at the Commercial club, at which even the toasts had ignored the official mission of Mayor Cortwright's guests, tingling curiosity still restrained itself, said nothing and did nothing until the train had stormed out on the beginning of its steep climb to War Arrow pass. Then the barriers went down. In less than half an hour after the departure of the visitors, the Spotlight office was besieged by eager tip hunters, and the Metropole cafe and lobby were thronged and buzzing like the compartments of an anxious beehive. Harlan stood the pressure at the newspaper office as long as he could. Then he slipped out the back way. There was a light in Brouillard's office on the sixth floor of the Niquoia building, and thither he went, hoping against hope, for latterly the chief of the reclamation service had been more than nsCSUT rsttesat "What do yon know, Brouillard ?" was the form his demand took, "Go to Cortwrtght,* suggested the engineer. "He's your man." "JuBt come from him, and I couldn't get a thing there except his admission that he is buying instead of selling." "Well, what more do you want? Haven't you any imaginationV "Plenty of it. and, by Gad, Pm going to use It unless you put it to sleep! Tell me a few correlative things, Brouillard. and 111 make a noise like going away. Is it true that you've bad orders from Washington within the past few days to cut your force on the dam one-half?" The engineer waa playing with the paperknlfe, absently marking little circles and ellipses on his desk blotter, and the ash on his cigar grew a full quarter of an Inch before he replied: "Not for publication, Harlan, I'm to say." yes have the nristr " Y e s .

By t e n o'clock It w a s the talk of the lobbies, the club, and the exchanges that the reclamation service was already abandoning the work on the great dam. One-half of the workmen were to be discharged at once, and doubtless the other half would follow as soon as the orders could come from Washington. Appealed to by a mob of anxious inquirers, Brouillard did not deny the fact of the discharges, and thereupon the city went mad in a furor of speculative excitement in comparison with which the orgy of the gold discoverers paled into insignificance. "Curb" exchanges sprang into being in the Metropole lobby, in the court of the Niquoia building, and at a dozen street corners on the avenue. Word went to the placers, and by noon the miners had left their sluice-boxes and were pouring into town to buy options at prices that would have staggered the wildest plunger otherwhere, or at any other time. Brouillard closed his desk at one o'clock and went to fight his way through the street pandemonium to Bongras'. At a table in the rear room he found David Massingale, his long, white beard tucked into the closelybuttoned miner's coat to be out of the way of the flying knife and fork, while he gave a lifelike imitation of a man begrudging every second of time wasted in stopping the hunger gap, Brouillard took the opposite chair and was grimly amused at the length of time that elapsed before Massingale realized his presence. "Pity a man has to stop to eat on a day like this, Isn't It, Mr, Massingale?" he laughed; and then: "How is Steve?" Massingale nodded. "The boy's comin' along all right now. They're sayln' on the street that you're lettln' out half o' your men—that so?" Brouillard laughed again. "Yes, It's true. Have you been doing something In real estate this morning, Mr. Massingale?" "All I could," mumbled the old man between mouthfuls. "But I cayn't do much. If it ain't one thing, it's another. 'Bout as soon as 1 got that tangle with the Red Butte Bmelter straightened out, the railroad hit me." "How was that?" queried Brouillard, with quickening interest coming alive at a bound. "Same old song, no cars; try and get 'em tomorruh, and tomorruh It'll be next day, and next day it'll be the day after. Looks like they don't want to haul any freight out o' here." "I see," said Brouillard, and truly he saw much more than David Massingale did. Then: "No shipments means no money for you, and more delay; and delay happens to be the one thing you can't stand. When do those notes of yours fall due?" Massingale was troubled, and his fine old face showed it plainly. "I ain't much of a man to holler when I've set the woods afire myself," he answered slowly. "But I don't kno"^ why I shouldn't yip a little to you if 1 feel like it. Today is the last day on them notes. I been to see Hardwick at the bank, and he gave me the ultimaytum good and cold." One of Bongras' rear-room luxuries was a portable telephone for every group of tables. Brouillard made a sign to the waiter, and the desk set waa brought to him. if David Massingale recognized the number asked for. he paid no attention; and, since s man may spend his life digging boles in the ground and still retain the in stlncts of a gentleman—if be happen* to have been born with them—he was equally oblivions to the disjointed half of the telephone conversation he might have listened to. "Hello! !• that Boyer—Niquoia National? . . . This is Brouillard. Can you give me my present figure? . . . Not more than that? . . Oh, yes; you say the Hillman check Is in; I had overlooked -ft All right, thank yon." When the warier had removed the desk set, the engineer leaned toward his table companion: -Mr. afsningiU.

"So it amounts to this: Vou have given them a clean third of the 'Susan' for the mere privilege of borrowing one hundred thousand dollars on your own paper. And if you don't pay, you lose the remaining two-thirds as well." "That's about the way it stacks up to a sober man. Looks like I needed a Janitor to look after my upper story, don't It? And 1 reckon mebby I do." "One thing more," pressed the relentless querist. "Did you really handle the hundred-thousand-dollar development fund yourself, Mr. Massingale?" "Well, no; not exactly. Ten thousand dollars of what they called a 'contingent fund' was put in my name; but the treasurer handled most of it— nachurly, we bein1 a stock company." Brouillard took out his pencil and began to make figures on the back of the menu card. He knew the equipment of the "Little Susan," and his Rpecialty was the making of estimates. Hence he was able to say, after a minute or two of figuring: "It's a bad business any way you attack it. What you have really got for yourself out of the deal is the ten thousand- dollar deposit to your personal account, and nothing more; and they'll probably try to make you a debtor for that. Taking that amount and a fair estimate of the company's expenditures to date—say thirty-five thousand in round numbers, which is fairly chargeable to the company's assets as a whole—they still owe you about fiftyfive thousand of the original hundred thousand they were to put In, If there were time—but you say this is the last day?" "The last half o' the last day," Massingale amended. "That being the case, there is no help for It; you'll have to take your medicine and pay the notes. Do that, take an iron-clad receipt from the bank —I'll write It out for you—and get the stock released. After that, we'll give them a whirl for the thirty-three and a third per cent they have practically stolen from you." The old man's face, remindful now of his daughter's, was a picture of dismayed incertitude. "1 reckon you're forgettin' that 1 hain't got money enough to lift one edge o' them notes," he said gently. Brouillard had found a piece of blank paper in his pocket and was rapidly writing the "iron-clad" receipt "No, I hadn't forgotten. I have something over a hundred thousand dollars lying idle in the bank. You'll take it and pay the notes." It was a bolt out of a clear sky for the old man tottering on the brink of his fourth pit of disaster, and be ' evinced his emotion—and the tense strain of keyed-up nerves—by dropping his lifted coffee cup with a crash into his plate. The little accident was helpful in its way—it made a diver- > sion—and by the time the wreck was I repaired speech was possible "Are you—are you plumb sure you ; can spare it?" asked the debtor husk- j ily. And then: "1 cayn't seem to sort i o' surround it—all in a bunch, that ! way I knowed J.

Dr. John Dill Robertson, Chicago's health commissioner, has this to oay about alcohol: "In the city of Chicago, where the death rate ia approximately lOu a day, it is safe to say that at least l\j pelcent of these deaths are caused directly or indirectly by alcohol. "Sir William Osier, late of Johns Hopkins, professor of medicine at Ux ford. McGill and Pennsylvania universities and one of the world's greatest physicians, bays of alcohol that it produces acute inflammation of the stomach, hemorrhage of the pancreas, heart disease, cancer of the stomach, Bright's disease, fatty liyer, hardened, liver, inflammation of the nerves, epilepsy, hardening of the arteries and a multitude of other afflictions of the body. "Those are known medical facts. Alcohol is truly a poison. It is not only the causative factor in the dls- ; eases and afflictions I have mentioned ; above, but it invades the mental man \ and produces insanity. "Alcoholic pneumonia is known to r-ery practitioner. In the past twenty years in Chicago the death rate from pneumonia was just twice what it was the preceding twenty years. Alcohol is without doubt to blame for a part of these deaths, for in alcoholic 1 pneumonia the death rate is tremendous. "No one can estimate the large number of people whose death certificates t are marked by a diagnosis which \ seems to have no connection with alcohol. Still, If the truth were known j it was the predisposing factor in the death of them. "When I say that 25 per cent of the death rate is directly or indirectly due to alcohol, I do not exaggerate. Twenty per cent of the mortality among infants is caused by the-ir having alcoholic parents. Alcoholic poverty—and I believe this phrase needs no explanation— is one of the great indirect causes." friiro^Kr&n^ftflpanftOQfrQHrfrftfrfta^ Will Old Dave Messlnoale go ;J himself to Amy en£ te" her <i what Victor Kae done to pet the ;j Maseinseie mine out of Cort* -i wright's clutches? ; | (TO BE C O N T I N U E D . ) Japan has more telephones tts* aH at C I R C U S M A N ' S V I E W . The plana for booking the bfg circuses hereafter is to play only dry towns, with the exception of the largo cities. The manager of the Hagenbeck- Wallace circus says, as reported by William Allen White in the Emporia (Kan,) Gazette: "We do a better business in a dry town than in a wet one. We noticed the difference in Missouri; always the day's receipts were better in a town that had gone dry under local option than in a town where saloons were open. And business is better in Kansas than it was in Missouri. "I have seen this whole game up and down and backward and across, and I want to tell you that all this talk about a town needing saloons or gambling houses to stimulate business is the purest bunk." "Here is an amusement man's point of view on booze," comments Mr. White. "Once again the verdict is thumbs down for John Barleycorn. Poor old John! He can't mix with religion or politics or business. If Ife can't mix with the amusements where does he get in? And the answer ia that national prohibition is Just around the corner." S W E E P I N G V I C T O R I E S . When in March the province of Manitoba, Canada, voted dry (by a majority of more than two to one), it added 251,832 square miles to the prohibition territory of North America. The dominion of Canada is rapidly going dry. Alberta, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia (with the exception of Halifax) have outlawed the liqnor traffic; Saskatchewan has abolished all bar and club licenses until after the war, the residue of the traffic being under control of the provincial government; New Brunswick has prohibition tn ten out of fifteen counties; about twothirds of the territory of Quebec is dry; in Ontario and In British Columbia a plebiscite Wi- ^ ken this year. B A R T E N D E R ' S F U T U R E . "There are about 100,000 bartenders In the United States. What will become of them when the saloon is abolished" What Is It that makes a successful bartender? It is his ability as a salesman, and a man who Is a good bartender will make a good clerk or salesman in practically any other kind of business. Furthermore, it requires many more people to sail $200,000,000 worth of bread and clothing, for example, than It doss to sell liquor of the same value. And It 11 more than likely that at least as staay salaried employees, toes, a s traveling salesmen, bookkeepers sad raphers, will bs Kettle. i i in f. <..

House of Representatives, the Capital, Washington, April L'O.—Sharply ting Germany fur its use of subnea against merchant vessels, ident Wilson yesterday, before a Joint session of congress, issued public notice to the world that unless that government changes its methods the United States will have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations. "The history in the making," was witnessed by one ot the largest gatherings that has ever been jammed into the historic chamber of the house of representatives. Every single inch of available space was occupied, while literally thousands were turned away. There was no questioning the seriousness of the president's position. His voice, somewhat husky, penetrated every corner of the room, and the message was emphasized with an expression that showed its author was tearful of the outcome. That serious neas was shared by the audience, the usual applause given the president's utterances being absent. The message in every sense was an Ultimatum. True, it contained no time limit within which reply c;ust be made. But it flatly Insisted that the German submarine warfare has reached the stage when this government will no longer tolerate it. The German explanations, previously made, have been accepted in good faith, the president said, in the hope that that government would finally be able to so order and control the acts of its naval commanders as to square Its policy with the position of humanity as embodied in the "law of nations." The United States has been willing to wait, the president said, "until the significance of the fact became absolutely unmistakable and susceptible of but one interpretation." That point, he said, has "now unhappily been reached." Text of President's Address. Following is the complete text of the president's address: "Gentlemen of the Congress: A situftttatB has arisen in the foreign relations Of the country of which It is my • ptsfn duty to inform you very frankly. * "It will be recalled that in February, 1915, the Imperial German government announced its intention to treat the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ireland as embraced within the seat of war and to deBtroy all merchant ships owned by its enemies that might be found within any part of that portion of the high seas, and that It warned all vessels, of neutral as well &s of belligerent ownership, to keep out of the waters it had thus prescribed, or else enter them at their peril. The government of the United States earnestly protested. It took the position that such a policy could not be pursued without the practical certainty of gross and palpable violations of the law of nations, particular ly if submarine craft were to be employed as its instruments, inasmuch as the rules prescribed by that law. rules founded upon principles of humanity and established for the protection of the lives of n on combatants at sea could not in the nature of the case be observed by such vessels. It based Its protest on the ground that persons of neutral nationality and vessels of neutral ownership would be exposed to extreme and intolerable risks, and that no right to close any part of the high seas against their use or to expose them to such risks could lawfully be asserted by any belligerent governm e n t The law of nations in these matters, upon which the government of the United States based its protest Is not of recent origin or founded upon merely arbitrary principles set up by convention. It Is based, on the contrary, upon manifest and imperative principles of humanity and has long been established with the approval and by the express assent of all civilised nations. [ Protest Was Disregarded. •"Notwithstanding the earnest protest of our government, the Imperial German government at once proceeded to carry out the policy it has announced. It expressed the hope that the dangers involved, at any rate the dancers to neutral vessels, would be reduced to a minimum by the Instructions which it had issued to Its submarine commanders, and assured the government of the United States that it would take every possible precaution, both to respect the rights of neutrals and to safeguard the lives of noncom batants, "What has actually happened in the year which has since elapsed has shown that those hopes were not Justl Bed, those assurances insusceptible of being fulfilled. In pursuance of the policy of submarine warfare against t b e commerce of its adversaries, thus announced and entered upon by the tsapertal German government in despite of the solemn protest of this government, the commanders of German undersea vessels have attacked merchant ships with greater and great er activity, not only upon the high Beas surrounding Grwat Britaiu and Ireland, but wherever they encounter them, in a way that has grown more and more ruthless, more and more indiscriminate as the months have gone by, less and less observant ot restraints of any kind; and have delivered their attacks without compunction against vessels of everj nationality and bound upon every s*ort of errand. Vessels of neutral ownership, bound from neutral port to neutral port, have been destroyed along with vessels of belligerent ownership, in constantly increasing numbers. Sometimes the merchantman attacked has been warned and summoned to surrender before being tired on or torpedoed; sometimes passengers or crews have been vouchsafed the poor security of being allowed to take to the ship's boats before she was sent to the bottom. But again and again no warning has been given, no escape even to the ship's boats allowed to those on board. What this government foresaw must happen has happened. Tragedy has followed tragedy on the seas in such fashion, with such -attendant circumstances, as to make it grossly evident that warfare of such a sort, if warfare it be, cannot be carried on without the most palpable violation of the dictates alike of right and of humanity. Whatever tbs disposition and intention of the Imperial German government, it has manifestly proved Impossible for it to keep such methods of attack upon the commerce of Its enemies within bounds set by either the reason or the heart of mankind. As to Armed Merchantmen. "In February of the present year the imperial German government informed this government and the other neutral governments of the world that it had reason to believe that the government of Great Britain had armed all merchant vessels of British ownership and had given them secret orders to attack any submarine of the enemy they might encounter upon the seas, and that the Imperial German government felt Justified In the circumstances in treating all armed merchantmen of belligerent ownership as auxiliary vessels of war, which it would have the right to destroy without warning. "The law of nations has long recognized the right of merchantmen to carry arms for protection and to use them to repel attack, though to use them, in such circumstances, at their own risks; but the imperial German government claimed the right to set these understandings aside in circumstances which it deemed extraordinary. Even the terms in which it announced its purpose thus still further to relax the restraints it had previously professed its willingness and desire to put upon the operations of Its submarines carried the plain Implication that at least vessels which were not armed would still be exempt from destruction without warning and that personal safety would be accorded their passengers and crews; but even that limitation, if It was ever practicable to observe It. has In fact constituted no check at all upon the destruction of ships cf every sort. "Again and again the imperial German government has given this gov eminent its solemn assurances that at least passenger ships would not be thus dealt with, and yet It has again and again permitted its undersea commanders to disregard these assurances with entire impunity. Great liners like the Lusitania and the Arabic and mere ferry boats like the Sussex have been attacked without a moment's warning, sometimes before they had eve-n become aware that they were in the presence of an armed vessel of the enemy, and the lives of noncombatants, passengers and crew, have been sacrificed wholesale, in a manner which the government of the United States cannot but regard as wanton and without the slightest color of Justification. No limit of any kind has In fact been set to the indiscriminate pursuit and destruction of merchantmen of all kinds and nationalities within the waters, constantly extending in area, where these operations have been carried on, and the roll of Americans who have lost their lives on ships thus attacked snd destroyed has grown month by month until the ominous toll has mounted into the hundreds. Sussex s Lste Example. "One of the latest and most shocking instances of this method of warfare was that of the destruction ot the French cross-channel steamer Suasox. It must stand forth, as the sink tag of the steamer Lusitanls did, as so sinfularly tragical and unjustifiable as to constitute a truly terrible example of the inhumanity of aubma rine warfare as the commanders of German vessels have for the patsi twelve months been conducting it. If this instance stood alone. &ome explanation, some disavowal by the German government, some evidence of criminal mistake or wilful disobedience oa the part of the commander of the vessel that bred the torpedo might be sought or entertained; but unhappily it does not stand aioue. Recent events make the conclusion inevitable that it is only one instance, even though it be one of the most extreme and distressing instances, of the spirit and method of warfare which the imperial German government has mistakenly adopted, and which, from the first exposed that government to tb£ reproach of thrusting all neutral rights aside in pursuit cf its immediate objects. 'The government of the United States has been very patient. At every siage or this distressing experience of tragedy after tragedy in which its own citizens were involved It had sought to be restrained l'rom any extreme course of action or of protest by a thoughtful consideration of the extraordinary circumstances of this unprecedented war and actuated in all it said or did by the sentiments of genuine friendship which the people of the United States have always entertained and continue tc entertain toward the German nation. It has, of course, accepted the successive explanations and assurances of the imperial German government as given in entire sincerity and good faith., and has hoped, even against hope, that it would prove to be possible for the German government so to order and control the acts of its naval commanders as to square Its policy with-the principles of humanity as embodied in the law of nations. It has been willing to wait until the significance of the facts became absolutely unmistakable and susceptible of but one interpretation. "That point has now unhappily been reached. The facts are susceptible of but one interpretation. The imperial German government has been unable to put any limit or restraints upon its warfare against either freight or passenger ships It has therefore become painfully evident that the position which this government took at the very outset is Inevitable, namely, that the use of submarines for the destruction of an enemy's commerce Is of necessity, because of the very character of the vessels employed and the very methods of attack which their employment of course involves, incompatible with the principles of humanity, the long-established and Incontrovertible rights of neutrals, and the saored immunities of non-combatants. Virtual Ultimatum Sent. "1 have deemed it my duty, therefore, to say to the Imperial German government that If it is still its purpose to prosecute ruthless and Indiscriminate warfare against vessels of commerce by the use of submarines, notwithstanding the now demonstrated Impossibility of conducting that warfare In accordance with what the government of the United States must consider the sacred and indisputable rules of international law and the universally recognized dictates of humanity, the government of the United States is at last forced to the conclusion that there is but one course it can pursue; and that unless the imperial German government should now Immediately declare and effect an abandonment of its present methods of warfare against passenger and freight-carrying vessels this government can have no choice but to sever diplomatic relations with the government of the German empire altogether. "This decision I have arrived at with the keenest regret; the possibility of the action contemplated I am sure all thoughtful Americans will look forward to with unaffected reluctance But we cannot forget that we are in some sort and by the force of circumstances the responsible spokesman of the rights of humantty. and that we cannot remain silent while those rights seem In process of being utterly swept away In the maelstrom of this terrible war. We owe it to a due regard for our own rights as a nation, to our sense of duty as a representative of the rights of neutrals the world over, and to a Joint conception of the rights of mankind to take this stand now with the utmost solemnity and firmness Ml have taken It, and taken it in the confidence that it will meet with your approval and support. All Boherminded men must unite In hoping that the Imperial German government, which has in other circumstances stood as the ch cm pi on Df all that we are now contending for in the Interest of humanity, may recognize the Justice of our demands and meet them in the spirit in which they are made." Indirectly. "What is an indirect lighting system?" "It is where a fellow gets 'tit up' when another fellow buys the drinks."

HUSBAND OBJECTS TO OPERATION Wife Cured by Lydia Ei Pukham's Vegetable Compound Des Moines, Iowa.—" Four years ago [ was very sick and my life was nearly spent. The doctors •tated t h a t I would never get well witho u t a n operation and that without i t I would not live one year. My husband o b j e c t e d to any operation and got me some of Lydia E.

A colored physician was called as a witness for the other side to establish certain medical evidence. This colored man had come to New Albany with a diploma written in some foreign language, and no one ever bad taken the trouble to determine whether it was genuine, Stotsenburg said in telling the story. Mr. Stotsenburg cross-examined the witness thus: "You say you are a physician—a medicine physician?" "Yea, sir," replied the colored man. "You know all about diseases—all kinds?" "Yes, sir, yes. sir. I knows that disease, sir," "Well, then, Just explain to this Jury what that disease it," Stotsenburg ordered. "It's a disease of the kidneys, suh, a disease of the kidneys," the physician told the Jury.—Indianapolis News. Not to Be Thought of. "I see that popular actresses are being protographed with their pet monkeys." "I wonder what they'll be doing next?" "That's hard to say, but I'm certain of one thing." "And what is that?"

These necessary factors are abundantly supplied by the field grains, but are lacking in many foods—especially white flour, from which the^ are thrown out in the milHng process to make the flour white. Grape-Nuts made of whole wheat and malted barley, supplies all the rich nutriment of the grains, including their VI tal mineral salts, those all-necessary builders of active brains and vigorous bodies.

Half an acre properly cultivated with a careful crop rotation may easily produce 1100 worth of various garden crops In a year. When to Work Soil. If the garden was not broken In the fall. It should be plowed in the spring as soon as the frost is out of the ground. Small areas may be worked with a spade, pushing the blade in to its full depth and turning the soil to break up the clods. Heavy soils should never be worked when wet. Overzealous gardeners, ready to seize the first warm spell as a favorable opportunity to go out and work the heavy clay soil before it Is dry, are not only wasting their energy but are doing a dam- PREPARE SEEDBED FOR OATS Not Generally Necessary to Plow Land Before 8owlng—Disk Harrow Is Recommended. Oats usually follow a cultivated crop such as com or potatoes; hence It is not generally necessary to pldw the land before sowing. Oats do well on fall-plowed land, but if the land baa not been plowed in the fall better yields are usually produced from sowing In a seedbed made by diski n s and harrowing than in one mads by spring plowing. Early seeding for oats la very desirable. As a gfeod seedbed can be made much more quickly with the disk harrow than with the plow on land that was In a cultivated crop last year, the saving In time is an advantage. Two disking* and one harrowing with the spike-toothed harrow will put clean land In good shape for sowing with the drill. Oats grow best In s seedbed that has 2 or 3 Inches of loose surface soil. but which Is firm below that depth. This Is another reason why disking is • 9 b t pi«fsffr«4 to spring plowing, tor age to the soil troin wtiich 11 will utke yearb for ii 10 recover To deierrniue when heavy soils are ready for plowing, a handful of earth should be collected from the surface and the fingers tightly clobed ou it. If the ball of compacted earth la dry enough for cultivation li will fall apart when the hand Is opened. A garden apot near the houte la often more desirable Lhan a plot which is In better tilth but located at an Inconvenient distance. A garden which is near the house will receive many a spare hour of care from adults and children which would otherwise be wasted. Where there is ample room for the selection of a garden site, the alope of the land should be carefully considered. A gentle tslope toward the South is most desirable for growing early crops, while it Is a decided advantage to have the plot protected on the north and northwest by either a hill, a group of buildings, or a board fence. Drainage of the garden is of great Importance. The land should have sufficient fall to drain off aurplus wa ter during heavy raina and yet not be so steep that the soil will be washed or gullied. The surface should be nearly level so the water will not stand In hollows. Where the natural slope of the land does not provide sufficient natural drainage, ditches may be dug or a tile drain put in. Thia will prevent waste water from the adjoining land from washing over it. How to Fertilize. The soil in the average back yard ia not only lacking in plant food but also has been packed until It is bard and unyielding. To loosen up such soil and make it suitable for garden produce requires that careful attention be given to its preparation. After spading the inclosure thoroughly, the upper three inches should be made fine with the use of hoe and rake Stones and rubbish should be removed and clods of dirt broken. The surface should be made even and as level as possible, it may then be marked off for planting in conformity with the general plan of the garden. Barnyard or stable manure is the best fertilizer because it furnishes both plant food and humus. An application at the rate of from 20 to 30 tons to the acre of well-rotted manure is very satisfactory. This should be applied after plowing or working with a spade, and distributed evenly over the surface and later worked in with a hoe and rake. On many soils it is advisable to apply commercial fertilizer, especially phosphate, in addition to the manure. An application of 300 to 600 pounds of acid phosphate to the acre is usually sufficient If additional potash is needed, which is often the case with sandy soils, thia may be economically supplied in the form of wood ashes If the wood ashes are unleached they should be distributed over the garden, using 1,000 pounds to the acre. If they have been wet, or leached, 2,000 pounds should be used. An application of 100 pounds to the acre of nitrate of soda may be used in the spring to start the plants before the nitrogen in the manure has become available. Small Garden Plan. In the plan illustrated all the vegetables named are planted In rows across from the inside lateral rows of strawberries. As rapidly as each kind of peas matures and the crop ia over, kale is planted in its pface. The ground to be used for tomatoes is first planted with onion sets, and these onions are used as rapidly aa needed. When the time comes to set out the tomatoes, some of the onions are dug to make space for the tomato plants. When the tomato crop Is over, the ground is occupied by spinach aa the third crop. Spinach Is also planted as soon as the bulb onions from the side are gathered. The beans, carrots, and peas are succeeded by late cabbage, and between the rows of late cabbage "potato-onion" sets are planted. Late beans are planted between the rows of parsnips after the radishes and lettuce have been gathered. there Is not time for plowed land to settle before the seed Is sown. 8till another reason why the disk is better is that a field can be plowed, and the cheaper way of doing a Job should always be chosen If it gives just as good results as the more expensive way. DAIRYING ON A LARGE SCALE Number of Unpleasant Surprises Are In Store at Start—Start With Few Cow* and Grow Up. The man who starts dairying on a large scale by buying the whole dairy herd is in for a number of unpleasant surprises. The best way to get into the dairy business is to grow into it, starting with a few cows and selecting and culling as experience dictates. It is a slow way to be sure, but It is a safe one. Only those who have been through the mill know how hard It is to set out and buy good milch cows. The endeavor of every dairyman is to sell off his poorest animals and keep tbe best.

Eaut Lansing—With the planting beason but a few weeks away, Michigan farmers are confronted by one of the mobt aerioua corn-Beed shortages ever felt in this state. The situation ii^ such, according to farm crop authorities of the Michigan Agricultural college, that looses which may run into hundreds of thousands of dollars are seen if extraordinary precautions are not exercised by farmers in the selection of seed for the coming season"« crop, in view of conditions aa they have been found to prevail throughout the state, the college is issuing a "first aid" bulletin to advise agriculturists as to measures most likely to be of value in minimizing the seed corn danger. The bulletin, which has ben given out is based on information gathered during the course of a state-wide survey of the seed corn situation. "On account of the continued cold BARON VON DER GOLTZ.

PREVENT BREAK AT ANY COST Lull Already Noted in U-Boat Activltica Since Wilson'* Ultimatum to Germany. Berlin, via Copenhagen to London— The imperial chancellor, Dr. von Bethman-Hollweg, returned to Berlin which would seem to justify the aasumption that the empire's responsible leaders at Great Headquarters have finished -consideration of the American note and reached a decision concerning Germany's reply. The chancellor's return, it is understood, waa not expected until Tuesday; hence a general decision appears to have been reached earlier than looked for. Berlin, via Amsterdam—Germany's ans-wer to President Wilson's virtual ultimatum will be dispatched to Wash, ington, at the earliest in the middle, possibly not before the end of the ensuing week. Of all the signs and hints and omens with regard to the outcome of the crisis between the two countries, this very delay of Germany's answer is most significant. It points clearly to a back-down on the part of the German government, a dignified and gradual but none the less complete, accession to America's demand that the lives of American citizens must be safeguarded. Were Germany courting a break with the United States; were she convinced that there is "not once scintilla of justification for the American demands"—as some individual, hotheaded editors have been asserting— then there would have been flashed across the cable inside of 24 hours after the presentation to the foreign office of the American note a brief, courteous reply telling the American government in yo many words, that what it asks is impossible to grant and that this is Germany's last word and closes the incident. Even the kaiser's absence from Berlin would not have prevented that. The laat paragraph of President Wilson's note is clear enough to be put into one or two code words and convey it through the special wire running from the foreign office to the kaiser's desk at general headq- uarters, What is really coming to pass in Germany at this moment Is a feverish preparation for a submission to American demands—not, to be sure, for a complete abandonment of the submarine warfare, but of that which is asked in Mr. Wilson's closing paragraph, "a declaration and a putting into effect of an abandonment of its present methods of submarine war. fare against passenger and freightcarrying vessels." TR00PST0 REMAIN IN MEXICO General Scott to Remain On Border With Funston. Washington—For the present, at least, the American forces are to remain In Mexico. Announcement to this effect was made by Secretary of War Baker following a conference with President Wilson. The president approved a recommendation from Major General Funston, indorsed by Major General Scott, chief of staff that there should be a redisposltion of the forces of General Pershing pending diplomatic negotiations now in progress between the state department and the de facto government of Mexico. The secretary said: "General Funston recommends a redisposition of the forces in Mexico for the purpose of recuperation and pending opportunity for further cooperation with the force of the de facto government of Mexico. His recommendation has been approved and Its execution left to his discretion." The conterence between the president and Secretary Baker followed a long vigil kept at the war department by the latter, pending the receipt and deciphering of a lengthy code dispatch from General Scott, who went to San Antonio to confer with General Funston, TELEGRAPHIC FLASHES Lyons, Franca — The Russian troops which arrived at Marseilles for service with the French on the western front, passed through here on their way northward.

So many Americans now have per* eonal knowledge of Canada that false - reports concerning this country are being continually corrected by Amsfw " leans themselves who know the factH and who are too fair-minded to let #>* false statement go unchallenged, case in point arises out of a statem supposed to be made by a resident j £ * Alberta, and published recently in flbs>^ Spokesman-Review, of Spokane, Ij^ which the condition of settlers in th|s> country was painted in a very bad way indeed. The writer of t h i r attack on Canada refused to let his name be known, so it can be taken for what it is worth, but Mr. S. L. Wallace, of N 4723 Crestline, Spokane, who lived for some years in Western Canada, came to the defense of the country in the following letter which was published in the Spokesman-Review of February 11, 1916: — "To the Editor of the Spokesman-Review: "In Sunday's Spokesman-Review was a letter from a man in Alberta to the chamber of commerce, asking that something be done to keep Americans from going to Canada, and saying that that government was run by the railroads, banks and manufacturers; t h a t once a man got there he never could get away. Had this man published that letter over his own signature there is no doubt but he could get out of Canada. No country will do as much to help a man to get on his feet, if he tries to help himself, as Canada. I know of the government helping people to provisions, feed, seed grain and fuel, and charging only cost of delivery to t h e nearest town and 6 per cent. What more could a man ask? I lived five years in Southern Saskatchewan and earned a patent to 320 acres of as good land as I ever saw. I have raised over 80 bushels of oats on sod, 40 bushels of wheat, and 20 of flax to the acre. Until I lost my health I never was better satisfied anywhere. I had my land rented this last year for one-third. It brought me almost $8.50 per acre, or $1,143.91 for 135 acres. This man says he loves the land his fathers died for. So do I, and I love the land that gave me my home. "S. L. WALLACE."

During the air raid, everything from machine guns to three and four-inchers— not one in the lot built for antiaircraft work—belched forth the best it had. Up went the bullets and shrapnel, and down they came again, down on the roofs and streetB of London. Far, far below the contemptuous airships, the little stars of bursting shrapnel spat forth their steel bullets in spiteful Impotence, and back they rained on the tiles and cobbles. . . . As we stepped from the curb somethink tinkled against my foot. Picking it up, it turned out to be a still warm piece of steel which J identified at once as a fragment of the casing of an incendiary bomb. It was not more than an eighth of an inch thick but of such superlative quality that it rang like a silver bell even to the tap of a finger nail. A far more murderous fragment of shivered metal, which J kicked into a few minutes later, was a piece of shrapnel casing, and there is no doubt that the casualties from antiaircraft gun projectiles are very considerable:— Lewis R, Freeman, in Atlantic Monthly.

"There's one thing—and I've got to spit It out before it's everlastingly too late. See here, Victor Br'uillard—Amy likes you—thinks a heap of you; a plumb blind man could see that. But say, that little girl o' mine has just natchurly got to have a free hand when It comes to pairln' up, and she wont never have If she finds out about this. You ain't allowin' to use It on her, Victor?" Brouillard laughed. "I'll make a hedging bet and break even with you, Mr. Massingale," he aaid. "That check is drawn to my order, and I have Indorsed It Let me bave it again and I'll get the cash for you. In that way only the two of us need know anything about the transaction; and if I promise to keep the secret from Miss Amy, you must promise to keep it from Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright Will you saw It off with me that way?—until you've made the turn on the ore sales?" David Massingale shook hands on it with more gratitude, colored this time with a hearty imprecation. "Dad burn you, Victor Br'uillard, you're a man— ever' single mill-run of you!" he burst o u t But Brouillard shook his head grarely. "No, Mr. Massingale, I'm the little yellow dog you mentioned a while back," he asserted, and then he went to get the money. Left alone In the small retiring room of the bank where the business had been transacted, David Massingale look the sheaf of bank notes from his pocket with trembling hands, fondling it as a mlBer might Twice the old roan made as If he would turn toward the door of egress, and the light in his array-blue eyes was the rekindling flame of a passion long denied. But In the end he thrust the tempting sheaf back into the inner pocket and went resolutely to the cashier's count e r window, finding Schennerhorn, the Ident sitting at the cashier's desk. %.&'xe come to take up them notes o' e with John Wes,' name on 'em," slngale began, pulling out the thick sheaf of redemption money.

What's the matter with our money? Doesnt U look good to you any more?" Massingale stammered out something about Cashier Hardwick's peremptory demand of a few hours earlier, bet be was not permitted to-falsa. "Of course, that is an right from Hardwick's point of view. He was merely looking out for the matnriag How moob more time will yon to eaabse yom t# got your shipments? Sixty 'days? Ail right, you needn't make out new notes; I'll indorse the extension on the back of these, and I'll undertake to get Cortwright's approval myBelf. No; not a word, Mr. Massingale. As long as you're borrowing, you must be loyal and borrow of us. Good afternoon. Come again when we can help you out." David Massingale turned away, dazed and confused beyond the power of speech. When the mists of astoundment cleared he found himself in the street with the thick wad of bank notes atlll in his pocket Suddenly, out of the Umbo into which two years of laborious discipline and self-denial had pushed it stalked the demon of the ruling passion, mighty, overpowering, unconquerable. The familiar street sights danced before Masslngale's eyes, and there was a drumming in his ears like the fall of many waters. But above the clamor rose the Insistent voice of the tempter, and the voice was at once a command and an entreaty, a gnawing hunger and a parching thirst "By gash! I'd like to try that old system o' mine jest one more time!" he muttered. "All it takes is money enough to foller it up and stay. And I've got the money. Besides, didn't Br'uillard say I was to get an extension If I could?" He grabbed at his coat to be Bure that the packet was still there, took two steps toward the bank, stopped, turned as if In the grasp of an invisible but Irresistible captor, and moved away, like a man walking in his sleep, toward the lower avenue. It was the doorway of Haley's place, the Monte Carlo of the Nlquola, that finally halted him. Here the struggle was so fierce that the bartender, who knew him, named It sickness and led the stricken one to a card table in the public bar-room and fetched him a drink. A single swallow of whisky turned the scale. Massingale rose, tossed a coin to the bar, and passed quickly to the rear, where a pair of balse doors opened silently and engulfed him. CHAPTER XVII The Abyss It was at early candle-lighting in the evening of the day of renewed and unbridled speculation in Mlrapolis "front feet" that Brouillard, riding the piebald range pony on which he had been making an Inspection round of the nearer Buckskin ditchers' camps, topped the hill in the new, high-pitched road over the Chlgrlngo shoulder and looked down upon the valley electrics. Brouillard let the pony set Its own pace on the down-hill lap to the finish, freshened himself at his rooms In the Nlquola building, and went to the Metropole to eat his dinner with Marray Grislow as his vis-a-vis. The busting throngs in the Metropole cafe and lobby annoyed him, and even Onslow's quiet sarcasm as applied to the day's bubble-blowing failed to clear the air. At the club there was the same atmosphere of unrest; an exacerbating overcharge of the suppressed activities Impatiently waiting for another day of excitement and opportunity. Corner lots and the astounding prices they had commanded filled the air In the lounge, the billiard room and the buffet, and after a few minutes Brouillard turned his back on the hubbub and sought the quiet of the darkened building on the opposite side of the street He was alone in his office on the sixth floor and was trying, half absently, to submerge himself in a sea of desk work when as distinctly as if she were present and at his elbow, he heard, or seemed to hear, Amy Massingale say: "Victor, yon said you would come if I needed you. I need yon now." Without a moment's hesitation he got up and made ready to go out. The Massingale town house was one of a row of stuccoed villas fronting on the main residence street, which beyond the city limits became the highroad to the Quadjenai bend and the upper valley. Brouillard took a cab at the Metropole, dismissed It at the Tills gate, and walked briskly up the path to the bouse, which was dark save for one lighted room on the second floor— the room tn which Stephen Massingale was recovering from the effects of Van Brace Cortwrigbt's pistol shot Amy Massingale was on the porch —waiting for him; as be fully believed ttatil bar greeting snmdently proved bar surprise at seeing baa, "You. Victor?" she said, coming quickly to meet him. "Murray Grislow said you had gone down to the Buckskin camps and wouldn't be back for two or three days!" "1 changed my mind and came back How is Steve this evening?" "He is quite comfortable, more comfortable than he has been at all since the wound began to heal I have been reading him to sleep, and when the night nurse came I ran down to get a breath of fresh air in the open." "No, you dldnt'come down for ;hai reason," Brouillard amended gravely. "You came to meet me." "Did I?" she asked. "What makes you think that?" "I know what happened," said Brouillard, speaking as soberly as if he were stating a mathematical certainty. "You left that room upstairs and came to me. I didn't see you, but 1 heard you as plainly as I can hear you now. You spoke to me and called mo by name." She shook her head, laughing lightly. "You have been overwrought about something, or maybe you are Just plain tired." "You are standing me off," he declared. "You are in trouble of some sort, and you are trying to hide it from me." "No, not exactly trouble; only a little worry." "All right call It worry If you like and share it with,me. What is it?' "I think you know without being told. I am afraid we have finally lost the Tdttle Susan.' That is one of the worries and the other I've been trying to call silly. I don't know what has become of father—as if he weren't old enough to go and come without telling me every move he makes!" "Your father isn't at home ?" gasped Brouillard. "No; he hasn't been here since nine o'clock this morning. Murray Grislow saw him going into the Metropole about one o'clock, but nobody that I have been able to reach by phone seems to have seen him after that" "I can bring the record down to two o'clock," was the quick reply. "He ate with me at Bongras', and afterward I walked with him as far as the bank. And I can cure part of the first worry —all of It, in fact; he had the money to take up the Cortwright notes, and when I left him he was on his way to Hardwick's window to do it." "He had the money? Where did he get it?" Brouillard put his back against a porch post, a change of position which kept the light of the street electric from Bhining squarely upon his face. "It has been another of the get-richquick days in Mlrapolis," he said evasively. "Somebody told me that the corner opposite Poodles' was bought and sold three times within a single hour and that each time the price was doubled." "And you are trying to tell me that father made a hundred thousand dollars just in those few hours by buying and selling Mlrapolis lots? You don't know him, Victor. He is totally lacking the trading gift He has often said that he couldn't stand on a street corner and sell twenty-dollar gold pieces at nineteen dollars apiece—nobody would buy of him." "Nevertheless, I am telling you that he had the money to take up those notes," Brouillard insisted. "I saw it in his hands." She stood fairly in the beam of the street light The violet eyes were misty, and in the low voice there was a note of deeper trouble. "You say you saw the money In father's hands; tell me, Victor, did you see him pay it Into the bank?" "Why, no; not the final detail. But as I say, when I left him he was on his way to Hardwick's window." Again she turned away, but this time it was to dart into the house. A minute later she had rejoined him, and the minute had sufficed for the donning of a coat and the pinning on of the quaint cowboy riding hat "I must go and find him," she said with quiet resolution. "Will you go with me, Victor? Perhaps that 1B why I—the subconscious I—called you a little while ago. Let's not wait for the Quadjenai car. I'd rather walk, and we'll save time." From the moment of outsetting the young woman's purpose seemed clearly defined. By the shortest way she indicated the course to the avenue, and at the Metropole comer she turned unhesitatingly to the northward—toward the region of degradation. As wss to be expected after the day of frantic speculation and quick money changing, the lower avenue was abtaxe with light the sidewalks were passes of peril, and the saloons and dives were reaping a rich harvest Luckily. Brouillard was well known, and bis position as chief of the great army of government workmen purchased something like Immunity for himself and bis companion. But more than ones he was on the point of begging the young woman to turn back for her own sake. The quest ended unerringly at the door of Haley's place, and when David Massingale's daughter mads a s if she would go in. Brouillard protested qolckly. "No. Amy." be said firmly. "Yon mustn't go la there, Lot me tabs yo« around to the Metropole. and Chen III come back alone." "I have been in worse places." she returned In low tones. And then, with her voice breaking tremulously: "Be my good friend Just a Utile longer, Victor!" He took her arm and walked her into the garishly-lighted liar-room, bracing himself milltantly lor what might happen. But nothing happened. Dlaalpatlon of the western variety seldom sinks below the level of a certain rude gallantry, quick to recognize the good and pure in womankind. Instantly a hush fell upon the place. The quartets at the card tables held their hands, and a group of men drinking at the bar put down their glasses. One, a Tri-Circ* cowboy with his back turned, let slip an oath, and in a single swift motion his nearest comrade garroted him with a hairy arm, strangling him to silence. As If guided by the same unerring instinct which had made her choose Haley's out of the dozen similar hells. Amy Massingale led Brouillard swiftly to the green baize doors at the rear of the bar-room. At her touch the swinging doors gave inward, and her goal was reached. Three faro games, each with its inlaid table, Its Impassive dealer, its armed "lookout," and its ring of silent players, lay beyond the baize doors. At the nearest of the tables there was a stir, and the dealer stopped running the cards. Somebody said. "Let him get out," and then an old man, bearded, white-haired, wild-eyed, and haggard almost beyond recognition, pushed his chair away from the table and stumbled to his feet, his hands clutching the air like those of a swimmer sinking for the last time. With a low cry the girl darted across the intervening space to clasp the staggering old man in her armB and draw him away. Brouillard stood aside as they came slowly toward the doors which he was holding open for them. He saw the distorted face-mask of a soul in torment and heard the mumbling repetition of the despairing words, "It's all gone, little girl; it's all gone!" and then he removed himself quickly beyond the range of the staring, unseeing eyes. For in the lightning flash of revealment he realized that once again the good he would have done had turned to hideous evil in the doing, and that this time the sword thrust of the blind passion impulse had gone straight to the heart of love itself. CHAPTER XV11I The Setting of the Ebb Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons. Contrary to the most sanguine expectations of the speculators—contrary, perhaps, even to thOBe of Mr. J Wesley Cortwright—the upward Burge in Mlrapolis values, following the visit of the "distinguished citizens," proved to be more than a tidal wave; it was a series of them. Day after day the "curb" markets were reopened, with prices mounting skyward; and when the news of how fortunes could be made in a day in the Miracle city of the Nlquola got abroad In the press dispatches there was a fresh influx of mad money hunters from the Bast. Now, if never before, the croaker was wrathfuliy shouted down and silenced. No one admitted, or seemed to admit, the possible impennanence of the city. To the observer, anxious or casual, there appeared to be reasonable grounds for the optimistic assertion. It was an Indubitable fact that Brouillard's force had been cnt down, first to one-half, and later to barely enough men to keep the crushers and mixers moving and to add fresh layers of concrete to the huge wall of sufficient quantities to prevent the material—In technical phrase—from "dying." The Navajos had been sent home to their reservation, the tepees were gone, and two-thirds of the camp shacks were empty. Past these material facta it was known to everybody in the frenzied market place that Brouillard himself was, according to his means, one of the most reckless of the plungers, buying, borrowing, and buying again as if the future held no threat of a possible debacle. It was an object lesson for the timid. Those who did not themselves know certainly argued that there must be a few who did know, and among these few the chief of the reclamation service must be In the •ery foremost rank.' r V W W (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Japanese quince, mock orange sad bridal wreatt Life is not merely to live, but to live well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well, look well. What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is If one will only adopt the morning inside bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poisonous stagnant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in It to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels th» previous day's indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary tract before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach is wonderfully Invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for breakfast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting a large volume of water from the blood and getting ready for a thorough flushing of all the inside organs. The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from any store that handles drugs which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.—Adv.

KEEPING A GOOD STAND OF RED CLOVER Everywhere! You Go Everywhere They Know : i . - £ . T _ . - 3 C T Alabastine Heavy Second Crop of Clover. The Neatest Yard Hat a Smooth Lawn. THE FRONT YARD By E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. The neatest yard now has a smooth lawn gTass sod kept closely mown, while ^the flowers and shrubbery are restricted to the sides and rear. This n o t only renders the lawn more easily k e p t than where there are flower toeda to mow around and trim, or trees o r shrubs to dodge, but it is really more restful in app3&rance. If there is room for only one shrub, l e t it be Hydrangea paniculata, the magnificent tresses of bloom lasting for weeks. It should be cut back every spring fully half of the previous year's growth. While this may go against t h e will it insures larger blossoms and more of them. A liberal mulching with stable manure Is also in order. Roots may be transplanted in either spring or fall. The Deutzias have extreme haralness, neat form, profusion of bloom and early blossoms to commend them, a n d are worthy of a place in riny collection Several of the Spireas are beautiful with graceful rose colored or white blossoms. While not all of these withstand the late frosts which come In May, just when they are ready to p u t forth their feathery bloom, the beauty of the blossoms when they are perfect atones for an occasional miss. Among June blossoms none are greater favorites than the syringa or mock orange, the flowers being as fragrant as beautiful. While the shrub itself is perfectly hardy, late frosts sometimes kill the buds; and an observing grower gives the rule that there will be orange blossoms v h e n there will be peaches. Calycanthus is a curious shrub, the brownish blossom being odorous of strawberries, yet with so many beautlfu as well as fragrant bloseoms It could scarcely head the list. Purple fringe is an odd plant, the name smoke tree perhaps more accurately describing the appearance afte r midsummer, when the pedicels lengthen, brfc^c/a and bear long plumy hairs, either greenish or tinged with red. The Spigelia is handsome when In bloom,'the tubular blossoms of white, rose or purple being produced in pro fusion. A variety with leaves variegated with gold is especially pleasing. Instead of planting in rows the fancy is now to group the shrubs and the flowers for cutting. Place the taller ones in the rear with the shorter ones in front Arrange that the blooming season shall be prolonged throughout the summer and see that no two specimens with blossoms which do not har monize in color shall be in bloom side by side at the same time. PLANTS FOR NORTH WINDOWS By BETTY PAKE. To make boxes in windows with a northern exposure attractive and cheerful fill them with the following plants: For vines, plant either variegated vlncas or English ivy, or both intermingled. Vincas are very bright, but they will not survive exposure to freezing temperature, while English Ivy will stand unhurt all through the winter. Either of these vines should be planted about one foot apart. The main part of the boxes can be planted with begonias, which can be procured from any florist In various colors, white, pink, red. The boxes, if planted wholly with material of a uniform height, are apt to have an artificial appearance, to prevent which, plants that grow taller and having a more graceful habit should be placed, say, one to every half dozen of the others, and for this purpose few plants equal dracaena terminals. Pansies do fairly well in the shade, and so does Balvia or scarlet sage. If English lvey is used for a vine, it will be found to be of advantage in that when the other plants In the boxes are killed by frost the ivy remains and can be left all winter, with the space taken up by the other plants filled witr small evergreens. i • — y r 7i;\-?f.. • i*'*ft (Prepared by the United States Department of AKrteuhure.) Red clover is commonly seeded with small grain which is called the nurse crop. This nurse crop serves two functions, it keeps the weeds down and it produces a money crop while the clover la making its first year's growth. Whether it is wise to use a nurse crop depends on so many things that it cannot be discussed within the limits of a brief article; it has been abundantly shown, however, that If weeds are kept down by clipping, the clover will make a better growth when sown alone than when with a nurse crop. In dry seasons the nurse crop is pretty certain to cause the death of the clover by taking all the moisture and then leaving the young plants exposed to the heat of a July or August sun when In a weakened condition by reason of the lack of moisture. If a nurse crop is used care should be taken not to seed It too thkkly, since the thicker the grain crop the more certain it is to smother the clover or to take all the moisture and leave the soil dry at harvest time. Of the BmalL grains rye shades the ground the least and oats the most and these crops represent both extremes of desirableness so far as red clover is concerned. The most frequent causes of the death of young clover are the drought and heat to which the plants are subjected upon the removal of the grain crop. The amount of injury caused will, of course, depend on the season. Injury will also be worse on soils deficient in humus since these run together and dry out more than soils having plenty of organic matter. Top dressing the fields with manure during late winter is as good a preventive of this danger as can be suggested. The manure will not only prevent loss of moisture but will furnish plant food for the young clover, making stronger plants, better able to withstand drought. It is also advisable to leave thb grain stubble as long as possible so as to afford shelter to the young plants. If there is a good stand of clover on a field in September and October thore is every reason to expect a good stand in spring, barring, of course, most unusual weather conditions. If, however, the soil Is deficient in lime the plant, though appearing fair in the fall, may lack the vigor to go through even a reasonably mild winter. Two mistakes are often made, and these should be guarded against The young clover should not be pastured closely in the fall, nor should it be allowed to Beed. Last fall, owing to the favorable summer young clover was found blossoming and seeding in many fields. This is bad because it weakens the plants and increases the number of clover-seed insects, the late broods finding these flower heads a fine place in which to lay eggs which hatch into larvae, many of which may live over the next winter. Provided there is lime and phosphorus enough in the land, secondyear clover should give little trouble unless attacked by root borers or oth- VALUABLE FEED FOR SWINE Pigs Receiving Rape Pasture In Addition to Corn Make Big Daily Average Gains, er insects. There are leaf-eating Insects that do damage locally and some fungi have been known to kill whole fields or to reduce yields, but the insects working on the roots probably give more trouble than other insects or than diseases. When a field becomes infested with root-eating Insects there is nothing to do but plow it up. The fact that insects and diseases of all kinds increase in clover fields is one of the best reasons why such a field should not be kept longer than two years. The principles of successful clover growing may be summarized as follows: Give the clover a chance to make a healthy plant by adding lime, phosphorus and potash to soils that need them. In some way add vegetable matter to the soil and keep up the supply by turning under clover often enough. Give the seed a fair chance by placing it in mellow soil and covering it from one-half to one inch deep. If sown with a nurse crop, give the young plants a chance by not seeding the grain crop too thickly, by top dressing with manure if practicable, and by cutting the stubble as high as possible.

BUILDING A POULTRY HOUSE Extreme Open-Front Structure Fur nishes Ideal Conditions—Roosting Closet Desirable. Ominous. The veteran hobo was initiating a new recruit into the mysteries of panhandling. "It's like die. Buddy," be explained. "When one of us 'bos visits a house we puts a mark on de gatepost ter show wot kind of a reception we gits.

"In dat case we Aggers dat de last guv wot was dere came out so fast he didn't have time to leave no mark, so we passes de place up." A house with a large area of glass and no muslin has a high moisture content and low temperature, accompanied with 0apid changes. An extreme open-front house furnishes ideal conditions, providing the birds are protected from rain, BDOW and drafts. A house, the front of which contains gome muslin and glass is a very efficient type. Hollow tile construction makes a very desirable house, but it is doubtful whether at the present prices of tile and mason labor the resulting increased cost warrants its use. A roosting closet with double walls is desirable in shed-roof laying houses. The providing of ample means of properly ventilating shed-roof, paper covered houses adds greatly in reducing temperature during spring and summer. Tongued and grooved boards for the outside wall when covered with a layer of building paper are reasonable in cost and supply in a great measure the nonradiating qualities of a double wall.

Prof. Alfred Vivian, head of the department of agricultural chemistry of Ohio State university, defines a perfect soil as "one which contains the ingredients in perfect proportions; sand, to enable it to absorb sir and moisture in proper amounts and to render it warm and friable; clay, to keep it cool, and prevent a too rapid leaching or evaporation of water; lime, to assist in the decay of vegetable matter, and organic matter to retain the best amount of moisture and to furnish material for the various chemteal processes continually going on in good soils." summet.ume Excataons Always In More sheep should be raised The for laaab and motto* fts s i See Cali/WBits ' - fatos 8 orchards _ pasifapYosorife Very-lew fates 3TK* totOXSt-flttjet economy wtt h personal escort.

Design for Combination Garment That W i l l Be Found to Meet all Requirements of Fashion — Suggestions for Trimming. With the incoming of wide skirts and new bodice lines comes a necebsity for new lines In underskirt and corset cover, and this design furnishes the sort of combination garment that Combination Petticoat for New Gowns. meets the requirements of both. The broad band that does not come up to the arms, which furnishes all the bodice of many evening frocks, and with a strap across the shoulder to hold It In place, can be worn over this type of corset cover, where the jeweled or ribbon or shirred shoulder strap may be fastened over ihe strap beneath It, and so not allow any hint of underwear. There Is a tight against thia type of overbodice, but while it reigns this type of corset cover is a necessity, and may be worn with any other sort of dress waist. For nearly all styles of figures a yard and a half will prove ample when purchasing the flouncing for the corset cover, and some figures require less. It is a pretty fancy, that is very common, to make the corset cover of some sort of cross-barred or figured lawn or batiste. This is much cheaper than flouncing of the better class, and can be finished at the top with a narrow beading and edge of embroidery or lace. The top should always have a narrow edge, becaube it would otherwise spoil the flat appearance of the waist worn over It. This new wide skirt is adorned with an embroidered flouncing and a bead ing to match the beading that con nects corset cover and skirt. The same design Is good for the Dolly Varden sateen and silk underskirts that are now In vogue, and these skirts are finished with flounces of material that often contrasts in color and figure, and all are edged with ruching, little ruffles or cordlngs. It is a fancy to make petticoats of this character with plain tops and flowered flounces, but, however they may be constructed, it is the fashion of the season to have very elaborate petticoats, often of Batin with veilings of chiffon and ever so many furbelows and ribbons. FASHION HINTS There is nothing prettier or more comfortable for the little girl's chemisette than white crepe de chine. CheckM taffeta makes a pretty trimming for a dress of plain color. Button trimming is in evidence on suits and frocks. Most utility coats are. long enough to almost cover the dress. Entire dresses are made of silk Jersey for outing wear. Many of the new silk suits have carefully fitted backs. Mouse color is a soft and becoming shade. New silks are in large and striking checks and daring stripes. Flannel blazer jackets are coming into use for street wear with serge skirts. Many new evening dresses have short puff sleeves. NEATNESS EASY TO ATTAIN 8mart Dressing Not as Difficult as It Wat Only a Few Short Years Ago. There was a time when it was far more difficult to look smartly dressed than it is today. That was the time when we wore separate belts, when there was dress braid on our skirts, when we wore separate neckwear. We had to be careful that the braid on our skirts didn't become ripped, to hang in loops of untidiness. We had to see to it that the belt of our skirt didn't sag. We had to see to it that the leather belt we wore exactly coincided with the skirt belt. We had to see to It that the ribbon or muslin collar we wore exactly made connections with the blouse beneath it. Yes, those were, indeed, difficult days. Today neatness counts as much as ever, but there are not so many pitfalls for the woman who would be neat. Neatness of footgear counts more than ever before. The shoes must be spotless, well polished and in good re- T>air. Heels that slant are an outrage on good dressing; moreover, they are decidedly unhealthful. It goes without saying that the hair must be neat. A hair net sometimes produces a stiff effect, hut that is better than a sloppy one. So choose the hair net In winfiy weather, and learn to adjust it becomingly. This year, when our milliners tell us to wear our hats straight on the head, neither tipped to left or right neat hair is more than ever essential. Immaculate gloves count for much In producing a smart appearance. Soiled glove*, ripped gloves or worn gloves are a disgrace. Nowadays, when washable gloves can be bought at almost any pries, it is possible for everybody to have clean glove*. The cotton ones, if clean, always look well—infinitely better than soiled kid ones. And a stitch now and then will keep gloves always well mended. Then there is the handbag. In this case, the more you pay, the better, for an expensive handbag outwears two cheaper ones, and looks better the last day it is carried than the cheap one does after the first few weeks. There are Utile details, like the handkerchief, which ssoukl always be white, that quite as much as some of the bigger things in giving the impression of smartness which the modern woman aims to attain. DRESSY SUIT OF SILK The coat of this suit has a full flare back and sides. Embroidered pockets are Introduced on coat. There *n full flaring cuffs and embroidered lingerie collar. Washing Spats. White spats are only permissible as long as they are really white. To have them look like new again when they have become soiled, tbe broadcloth variety can be washed. Use warm water and good white soap. Wash well, rinse, and don't wring out. Let them hang perfectly wet. and after a few hours they will be dry, smooth, and randy to W e d d e d t o t h e G a m e . Preston was the bt-ene, and the evunt in i-irogretsa was a wedding '1 he "'speaking parta" in the ceremony had all been played, and now bride and bridegroom and their friends were in the veutry putting the mailer into writing. But the clergyman waa not youthful, nor waa he swift. Time passed, and the bridegroom became more and more fidgety. ""You atmm In a great hurry," remarked the officiating cleric, at laxst "Have you a train to catch?" The happy man stood btcck still, and scratched hia head in perplexity. "Well, air," he replied, good-naturedly, "it ain't a train, air, but 1 don't want to be late for t' football match." BAD COMPLEXION MADE GOOD When All Else Falls, by Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

There ww much looting, it is said, but the reinforced inilitajy was making steady progress. Most of the shops were closed and passenger communication cut off. One dispatch received from Ireland hays that SackviUe and Grafton streets in Dublin are in flames and that artillery is being used on the houses( the inhabitants having been j removed.

London- The French have taken the offensive on both slde>s of the Meuse, in the region generally north of Verdun, and a.re driving the Germans from some of their recently captured trenches, according to advices from Paris. Even the Berlin war pfhce statement admits the force of the Krench offensive in saying that "strong enemy forces attacked tho German positions on Dead Man hill and adjoining lines as far as the northern part of Cauretes wood," and were repulsed only "after tenacious fighting.'' The Paris war office statement contradicts the Berlin report of a "repulse" by saying the French captured a trench north of Dead Man hill, taking 53 prisoners, and ejected the Germans from a trench south of Lassigny. Paris adds that the French repulsed a serious German attack in the Vosges Mountain region. MARKET QUOTATIONS Live Stock. DETROIT-Cattle: Receipts, 2,46».

Y. —French attacks on the German positions on the eastern slope of Dead Man hill and adjoining lines In the region of Verdun, were repulsed after tenacious fighting says the official statement issued at the German army headquarters. The text of the statement follows: "Western theater: The English made several successive attacks against Givenchy-en-Cohelle without success. "North of the Somme and northwest of the Oise, patrol engagements were successful for the Germans. "To the left of the Meuse (northwest of Verdun) strong French forces attacked German positions on Dead Man hill and adjoining lines as far as the northern part of Caurettes wood. After tenacious fighting on the east slope of the height, the attack was repulsed. "On the right bank of the river an attempt made by the enemy to advance northwest of the farm of Thiaumont failed. "A German aviator flying over Ver dun engaged three adversaries and shot down one of them. "Eastern theater: South of Narocz lake four more Russian cannon and one machine gun were captured and 83 prisoners taken."

London—A Constantinople dispatch received by way of Berlin says that the vice-chief commander of the Turkish army announces that the British garrison at Kut-el-Amara under General Townshend, which surrendered unconditionally, numbered 13.300 men. Major General Charles Townshend, commander of the British forces besieged at Kut-el-Amara, Mesopotamia, by Turkish forces since last December, has surrendered. This information was contained In a British official statement. The following official anouncement was made: "After a resistance protracted for 143 days and conducted with a gallantry and fortitude that will be forever memorable, General Townshend has been compelled by the final exhaustion of his supplies to surrender. "Before doing so, he destroyed his guns and munitions. The force under him consists of 2,1*70 British troops of all ranks and services, and some €,000 Indian troops and their followers." The eventual surrender of General Townshend had been expected since the failure of the forces under LaeuL Gen. Gorringo and Gen. Keary to break through the Turkish position at Sannayyat, just below Kut-el-Amara on the Tigris river and the unsuccessful attempt to send the blockaded army provisions by steamers. It bad been touch and go with the small British force for many days. The position of Kut-el-Amara, which is on a peninsula extending into the Tigris river, made it impossible to send supplies by air, as there was Ao landing place for aeroplanes. Grain, Etc.

The far-sighted statesman and publicist must devote his thought earnestly to the consideration of these questions if we are to escape the extremes which curse the older nations of the world." In the above will be found one of the reasons that the Canadian Government is offering 160 acres of Land free to the actual settler. There is no dearth of homesteads of this size, and the land is of the highest quality, being such as produces yields of from 30 to 60 bushels of wheat per acre, while oats run from fifty to over hundred bushels per acre. It is not only a matter of free grants, but in Western Canada are also to be had other lands at prices ranging from $12 to $30 per acre, the difference in price being largely a matter of location and distance from railway. If one takes Into consideration the scarcity of free grant lands in the United States it Is not difficult to understand why there has been most material advances in the price of farm lands. A few years ago, land that now sells for two hundred dollars an acre in Iowa, could have been bought for seventy- five dollars an acre or less. The Increased price is warranted by the increased value of the product raised on these farms. The lands that today can be had in Western Canada at the low prices quoted will in a less time than that taken for the Iowa lands to increase, have a proportionate increase. In Nebraska the lands that sold for sixteen to twenty dollars per acre seven years ago, find a market at one hundred and seventy-five dollars an acre, for the same reason given for the increase in Iowa lands. Values in these two States, as well as in others that might be mentioned, show that Western Canada lands are going at a song at their present prices. In many cases in Western Canada today, there are American settlers, who realise this, and are placing a value of sixty and seventy dollars an acre on their improved farms, but would sell only because they can purchase unimproved land at sech a low price that ln another few years taey would have equally as sjooi fcnas as taey left or such as their friends have ia 4hs United States. The worth of the crops grown - nl Western Canada is of higher valve than those of the States named, so why should the land not be worth fully as much. Any Canadian Government Agent will be glad to give you ingSF* mation as to homestead lands or w) you can buy.—Advertisement Hint for Nurse, Mrs. Simpson had taken her little daughter out to tea at a friend's house, and all went well till the close of the meal.

If he refuses, he loses not only his job but his savings. What would you do—considering that acceptance is wrong? CHAPTER XVIII—Continued. For the better part of a fortnight the tidal waves of prosperity, as evinced by increasing speculative values, kept on rolling In, each one apparently a little higher than its immediate predecessor. Then the flood began to subside, though so slowly that at first it was only by a careful comparison of the dally transfers that the recession could be measured. Causes and consequences extraneous to the city itself contributed to the almost imperceptible reactionary tendency. For one, the Buckskin Mining and Milling company reluctantly abandoned its pastime of plowing barren furrows on Jack's mountain, and a little later went into liquidation, as the phrase ran, though the eastern bondholders probably called it bankruptcy. About the same time the great cement plant deprived of the government market by the slackening of the work on the dam, reduced its output to leas than one-fourth of its full capacity. Most portentous of all, perhaps, was the rumor that the placers at Quad Jenai were beginning to ehow signs of exhaustion. It was even whispered about that the two huge gold dredges recently installed were not paying the expenses of operating them. Quite naturally, the pulBe of the Wonder city beat sensitive to all these depressive rumors and incidents, responding slowly at first but a little later in accelerated throbbings which could no longer be ignored by the most optimistic bidder at the "curb" exiseaernr sstlU there was no panic. As the actttittes in local sales fell off and the Jpjsjfjpoiitans themselves were no long- - er crowding the curbs or standing in line at the real estate offices for their turn at the listings, the prudent ones, v^wlth Mr. Cortwright and his chosen tea far in advance of the field, •*"*-ere placing Mlrapolls holdings tempton view in distant markets; placing them and selling them with hUsonry of advertising worthy of the en*y of those who have called themselves the suburb builders of Greater -JNew York.

"Hello, Broulllard!" said the magnate Jocosely, indicating a chair and the nerer-abeent open box of cigars in the same gesture.

More and more he funding to acknowledge a dull he heard fh#. call of bis master. T e e . What about the dam? Is your going to start up again? Or is it <ttforsjoocr set his tip to keep the Dlunt Inquiry threatened to evoke. To assume that Mr. Cortwright did not know all there was to be known was to credit the incredible. "1 told you a good while ago that i was only the government's hired man,' he replied. "You doubtless have much better information than any 1 can give you." "You can tell me what your orders are—that's what 1 want to know." The young chief of construction frowned first, then he laughed. "What has given you the impression that you own me, Mr. Cortwright? I have often wondered." "Well. 1 might say that 1 have made you what you are, and—" "That's true; the truest thing you ever said," snapped Broulllard. "And, I was going to add, 1 can unmake you Just as easily. But I don't want to be savage with you. Ail I'm asking is a little information first, and a little Judicious help afterward. What are your orders from the department?" Broulllard got up and stood over the Btocky man in the office chair, with the black eyes blazing. "Mr. Cortwright, I said a moment ago that you have made me what I am, and you have. 1 am infinitely a worse man than you are, because I know better and you don't It is no excuse for me that I have had a Motive which I haven't explained to you. because, as I once told you, you couldn't understand it in a thousand years. The evil has been done and the consequences, to you, to me, and to everyone in this cursed valley are certain. Facing them as 1 am obliged to face them, 1 am telling you—but what's the use? You can't make a tool of me any longer— that's all. You must cook your meat over your own fire. I'm out of it" "I can smash you," said the man In the chair, quite without heat. "No, you can't even do that," was the equally coel retort. "No man's fate is in another man's handB." He was moving toward the door, but Cortwright stopped him. "One more word before you go, Broulllard. It is to be war between us from this on?" "I don't say that. It would be awkward for us both now. Let is be armed neutrality if you like. Don't interfere with me and I won't Interfere with you." "Ah!" said the millionaire. "Now you have brought it around to the point I was trying to reach. You don't want to have anything more to do with me, but you are not quite ready to cash in and pull out of the game. How much money have you got?" The cool impudence of the question brought a dull flush to the young man's face, but he would give the enemy no advantage in the matter of superior self-control. "That 1B scarcely a fair question— even between armed neutrals." he objected. "Why do you want to know?" "I'm asking because you have Just proposed the noninterference policy, and I'd like to know how fairly you mean to live up to it A little while back you interfered in a small business matter of mine very pointedly. What became of the one hundred thousand dollars you gave old David Masslngale?" "How do you know I gave him a hundred thousand dollars?" "That's dead easy," laughed the man in the pivot chair, once more the genial buccaneer. "You drew a check for that amount and cashed It, and a few minutes later Maaslngale, whose account had been drawn down to nothing, bobs up at Schermerhorn's window with exactly the same amount In loose cash. What did be do with It—gamble i t r -That is his own affair," Broulllard countered briefly. "Welt the future—next month's future— is my affair. If you've got money enough to Interfere again—dont You'll lose i t the same as you did before. And perhaps 1 sha*nt take the second interference as good-naturedly as I did the first" "Is that all you have to say?" Branfllsrd asked impatiently. "Not quite. I don't believe yon were altogether in earnest a minute ago when you expressed your desire to call it all off. You dont want the Mtrapolis well to go dry right now. not one bit more than I do." "I have been trying pretty hard to make you understand that it is a matter of utter indifference to me." "But you havent succeeded very well; it isnt at all a matter of indifference to you," the magnate instated persuasively. MAs things are shaping themselves up at the preaeat speaking, you stead to lose, not eely the hundred thousand you aqaaadsred en osi David, bat all you've saaie tulasa, I keep in touch—it's my business to keep In touch You've been buying bargains and you are holding thwn — for the simple reason that with the present slowing-dowu tendency tn the saddle you can't bell uud uiaku any money." "Well?" "I've got a proposition to make, that ought to look good to you. What we need Just now in this town Is a little more activity—something doing. IOU can relieve the situation if you feel like it." "How?" "If I tell you, you mustn't go and use It against me. That would be a lowdown welcher's trick. Bui you wou't. See here, your bureau at Washington is pretty well scared up over the pros pect here. It is known In the capital that when congress convener there is going to be a dead-open-and-shut tight to kill this Buckskin reclamation project Very well; the way for you Tallows to win out is to hurry—finish your dam and finish it quick, before congress or anybody else can get action." For a single Instant Brouillard was puzzled. Then he began to understand. "Go on," he said "What 1 was going to suggest la this: You prod your people at Washington with a hot wire; tell 'em now'a the time to strike and strike hard. They'll see the point and if you ask for an increase of a thousand men youll get it Make it two thousand, just for the dramatic effect We'll work right along with you and make things hum again. We'll start up the cement plant and I don't know but what we might give the Buckskin M.. & M. folks a small hypodermic that would keep 'em alive while we are taking a few snap-shot pictures of Mirapolis on the Jump again." "Let me get it straight" said Broulllard, putting his back against the door. "You fully believe you've got us down; that eventually, and before the water is turned on, congress will pass a bill "There Is No 8uch Thing as Good News in This God-Forsaken Valley, Castner." killing the Niquola project But in the meantime, to make things lively, you'd like to have the reclamation service go ahead and spend another million or so in wages that can be turned loose in Mirapolis. Is that it?" "You've surrounded it very neatly," laughed the promoter. "Once, some little time ago, I might have felt the necessity of convincing your scruples, but you've cut away all that foolishness. It's a little tough on our good old Uncle SamueL 111 admit but it'll be only a pin-prick or BO in comparison to the money that is thrown away every time congress passes an appropriation bill. And, putting it upon the dead practical basis, Broulllard, it's your own and only salvation—personally, I mean. You've got to unload or go broke, and you can't unload on a falling market You think about it and then get quick action with the wire. There is no time to lose." Brouillard was looking past Cortwright and out through the plate glass window which commanded a view of the great dam and its network of forms and stagings. "It is a gambler's bet and a rather desperate one." be said slowly. "You stand to win all or to lose all in making i t Mr. Cortwright The town is balancing on the knife-edge of a panic at this moment Would it go up. or down, with a sudden resumption of work on the dsm?" T h e careless thinker would say that H would yell Tire!' and go up into the air so far that ft could never climb down," was the prompt reply "But well have the medicine dropper handy, in the first place, everybody can afford to stay and boost while Uncle Sam is spending his million or so right here in the middle of things.

"Once more you are Just the man L have been wanting to see." the young missionary began, promptly making use of the chance meeting "May i break in with a bit of bad news?' "There Is no such thing as good news in this God-forsaken valley. Castner. What's your grief?" "There Is trouble threatening tor the Cortwrlghts. Stephen Masslngale is out and about again, and I was told this morning that he was filling himself up with bad whisky and looking for the man who shot him." Brouillard nodded unsympathetloally. "You will find that there is always likely to be a second chapter in a book of that sort—if the first one isn't con elusive." "But there mustn't be this time." Castner insisted warmly. "We must stop It; it is our business to stop it" "Your business, maybe; It falls right In your line, doeBn't it?" "No more in mine than In vours," was the quick retort. "Am I my brother's keeper?" said the engineer pointedly, catching step with the long-legged stride of the athletic young shepherd of souls "Not if you claim kinship with Cain, who was the originator of that very badly outworn query," came the answer shotlike. Then: "What has come over you lately, Brouillard? You are a friend of the Massingales; I've had good proof of that Why don't you care?" "Great heavens, Castner, 1 do carel But if you had a cut finger you wouldn't go to a man in hell to get It tied up, would you?" "You mean that I have brought my cut finger to you?" "Yes. 1 meant that, and the rest of it. too I'm no fit company for a decent man today, Castner. You'd better edge off and leave me alone." Castner did not take the blunt intimation. For the little distance intervening between the power company's new offices and the Nlquoia building he tramped beside the young engineer in silence. But at the entrance to the Nlquoia he would have gone his way if Brouillard bad not said abruptly: "1 gave you fair warning; I'm not looking for a chance to play the Good Samaritan to anybody—not even to Stephen Masslngale. much less Van Bruce Cortwright. The reason is because 1 have a pretty decent backload of my own to carry. Come up to my rooms If you can spare a few minutes. 1 want to talk to a man who hasn't parted with his soul for a money equivalent—if there is such a man left in this bottomless pit of a town." Castner accepted the implied challenge soberly, and together they ascended to Brouillard's offices. Once behind the closed door, Brouillard struck out viciously. "You fellows claim to hold the keys to the conscience shop; suppose you open up and dole out a little of the precious commodity to me, Castner. Is it ever Justifiable to do evil that good may come?" "No." There was no hesitation in the denial. Brouillard's laugh was harshly derisive. "1 thought you'd say that No qualifications asked for, no judicial weighing of the pros and rons—the evil of the evil, or the goodness of the good— just a plain, bigoted *No.'" The young missionary left his chair and began to walk back and forth on bis side of the office desk. •o<«s»# " Y o u could let tt leak out t h a t , ta s p i t e of ali t h e b u r r a l i anu ruen cm t h e d a m , c o u g r e s s is really going to int e r f e r e before we a r e r e a d y 10 t u r n t h e w a t e r ua," tsaid Brouiuaru. m u s i n g - ly a n d a s if it w e r e only nla t h o u g h t s l i p p i n g into u n c o n s c i o u s s p e e c h "•precisely.

Hill, the railroad king. whom King Albert has asked to reorganize Belgium, said in a Y. M. C. A. address in Chicago: "Success is a matter of spirit, the right spirit. If we have the right spirit, we can't help showing It, and if we have the wrong spirit, we can't help showing it, either—like the maid, you know. "A lady engaged a maid. This lady had a few current scandals in the family, and she wanted their kept dark. So, examining the maid, she said: " 'And, of course, 1 can expect you to be reticent?" " 'Oh, yes, ma'am," Baid the maid. 'Yes, Indeed, ma'am,' and she added eagerly, 'What is there to be reticent about0'" Monotonous Introduction. There is a remarkable monotony about the openings of speeches in the house of commons. On Wednesday 43 speeches i not counting brief efforts In the way of interjections) were delivered, and In ^0 cases the speeches began with the first person singular, Only 15 members could think of anything more original. One was Mr. Warwick Brookes, but even his maiden speech began: "In rising to say a few words, I should like," etc. An analysis shows that "I beg" was used four times. So was "I should like." "I am sure" and "I wish" were each the opening of three members. "I would like," "I think" and "I desire" had two each. "I hope." "I do not rise," "I should not," "I want to ask," "I was hoping," "I dc Dot wish," "I have not," "I associate myself." "I agree," "I am quite sure," and "I acknowledge" were each used once.— Manchester Guardian. EXPERIMENTS Teach Things of Value. !

Drinking Postum is a pleasant way out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man says: "My wife was a victim of nervouscess, weak stomach and loss of appetite for years; and although we resorted to numerous methods for relief, one of which was a change from coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose. '"We knew coffee was causing the trouble but could not find anything to take its place until we tried Postum. Within two weeks after she quit coffee and began using Postum almost all of her troubles had disappeared as if by magic. It was truly wonderful. Her nervousness was gone, stomach trouble relieved, appetite Improved and. above all, a night's rest was complete and refreshing. "This sounds like an exaggeration. as it all happened so quickly. Each day there* was improvement, for the Postum was undoubtedly strengthening her. Every particle of this good work is due to drinking Postum in place of coffee." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Postum comes In two forms: Postum Cereal—the original f o r m - must be well boiled. ISc and 25c pkgs. Instant Postum—a soluble powder— dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 60c tin*. Both forma are equally deUdoas and coat aboe* tfce same per cap. • a, a t a m * * for • 7 •*uotf£s*«4K.'- •jsesssssi ii »if|j ,\m **, 1**; " * > . - £?:':•,*' .1 r \ - -v I: cyv. tf t*v, Kf»" I [?' & • • &*£.
