DECEMBER 11, 1963 SrNGLE COPY 108 The Way We Hear It By Dolly Butgfca . . . . Pinckney Firemen were called to the Putnam Township Dump located' on the Howell-Pinckney road, when burning trash got out of hand. No serious trouble developed. This was mid-afternoon, Saturday, Dec. 7. • * • . . . . adults interested in giving Mr. Header's Citizen's committee a helping hand to distribute the school proposal brochares to the voters- m-the- Pee Wee Basketball Game Rescheduled Play in the Pee Wee Basbetball Tournament, postponed from Nov. 23 and 24 due to the death of Pres. Kennedy, has been rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 14 starting vt 10 A.M. and Sunday, Dec. 15, starting at 2:00 P.M. at the High School gym according to Frank Zezulka, League President. Due to lack of gym facilities, none of the teams have been on the floor for the past month, but even if the play is ragged, the old determination to win will be present. First round games pit the Pinckney Merchants vs Hamburg C. of C. and St. Marys vs Pilgrims. Tickets sold for Nov. 23 and 24 will be honored on both days Dec. 14 and 15 and General admission will be 23c for youngsters, 50c for adults and $1.00 for entire family. The public is invited to come out and give these youngsters both vocal and financial support. If they're worth having, they've worth supporting.

John Dinkel is very concerned over the man's wedding band, a gold one, that he found by the high school. He thinks some "better-half" probably is really aware of the loss, and wants him to know it has been found, and to that he might tell his wife he will get it back now, and that it must have "just slipped off his finger somehow"! Person may have same by claiming it. • * • . . . . Shirey bottle gas company has a large bulk tank now! It is located on the Howell- Pinckney road, a little way past the dump. It certainly is a large tank: • * * . . . . another steak dinner wns held at the Jim Lavey home Sunday. Some people just never will learn to not wager against Mother Nature cause they are just bound to lose— and it is rather expensive, especially when you have to pay off with T-bones!! . . . . in the South Lyon vs. Pinckney junior varsity basketball game December 3, Bob Umstead "netted" 12 scores end Bob Seefeld "netted" 13 baskets out of the Pinckney team's final 36 total baskets. . . . . a recording was made of the "Messiah* Sunday evening, by a man from Ann Arbor station WPAG. It is rumored that records are to be made from this and will be made available to Pinckney residents who so wish to buy them. Nice idea, eh? SHOE TREATS Spanish children, at Epiphany, expect the Three Kings to bring them gift*, and they set out shoes filled with straw or grain for the horses the Kings ride. tJounty s taenerai fund contained $231,248 at the end of November, according to Mrs. Dorothea Greer, County Treasurer. This should probably give the County Board of Supervisors some food for thought when they meet Tuesday at 10:30 at the Court House. When the 1964 Budget was adopted it was indicated it contained a deficit of $75,000. No beginning balance was listed in the budget. However, with one month to go, and expenses estimated by • the County Ck»rk at 164,000 a I ***** O*mty apparently hand, to start the year 1964, in the neighborhood of $167,000. Funds of $130,000 were also transferred in October to the Welfare Dept. to permit its operation through March, according to Harold Armstrong, chairman of the Welfare Committee. Some of these funds should also be on hand at the end of the current fiscal year. Instead of a deficit in 1964, it looks as though the County will have additional cash on hand of well over $100,000, perhaps nearer $200,000.

Be sure to use ZIP Code in both return and destination addresses/' s a i d Postmaster Lawrence Baughn. "Shopping and mailing early has many advantages," the Postmaster observed, "Customers who buy early get the pick of the Christmas stocks, the economy is aided by the business activity, the persons doing their shopping and malling early have a better opportunity' to relax and enjoy the holiday, your friends who receive your greetings early have a longer time to enjoy them and last but not least it enables the Postal employees to serve you better. "It gives us time to get the gifts and cards to their destination in good condition with less chance of damage or delay," the Postmaster noted.

Mrs. Margaret Abney was In Nearly 750 persons assembled in the Pinckney High gymnasium Sunday. December 8, to hear what could very nicely be tabbed as the greatest and most successful event to take place in Pinckney in many years. The "Messiah" presented to the public, under the capable baton of director Steve Jones, had all the aspect of a production done in a much larger area with ' facilities beyond what Pinckney could possibly provide. The four soloists, the 69- voice choir, along with the 15 piece University of Michigan instrumental ensemble held the audience spell bound for the hour and 20 minute performance. The attire of the choral group and. that of the instrumental group being of black dresses for the women of the orchestra, white blouses for the women in the chorus and dark suits and white shirts for the male singers was a moat impressive feature of the evening's performance. The community chorus was organized in September, 1963, under the auspices of the Fire Destroys fiarage, Car Pinckney firemen were summoned to the home of Hal Schall, 9900 Florence Street, Portage Lake* about 2 a.m. Monday night when SchaU's two story double garage was Pinckney Kiwanis Club, and held weekly rehearsals e\ery Sunday afternoon. A prime factor in its success has been the dedication and the talent of the individual members along, with that of the conductor. Jones' ability as a conductor stood out during the Sunday evening performance as he he!d the groups, instrumental and choral, in tremendous harmony after having but one rehearsal of the combined groups prior this performance. There were 15 churches represented in this choral group, and these 69 persons have agreed to stay organized, under the title of the Community Chorus, and an Easter contata is tentatively planned, according to Junes, and pi'tUmps « Vesper concert on Good Friday, consistin^ of a Bach Contata and. a Mozart Requiem will be their next at tempi.

PORTER From my home upon the hill, through the softly, falling snowflakes, I look down upon the brightly-lighted village of Pinckney, nestling fas it seems to me) in the hallow of God's hand. The main street glistens and glitters with it's Christmas Holiday trimmings. As I view thw peaceful scene, the snowflakes slowly falling seem like a benediction trom Haven. A thought runs through my mind:—This is the one time df the year, when people all over the world, give their hearts a chance. The rest of the year, they may seem hard-boiled and selfish and don't give a damn, but not on Christmas. In all the cities and towns across the country, friendly greetings are upon the air as everyday acquaintances and strangers rub elbows as they mingle in the Holiday crowds, no matter, be they rich or poor. Salvation A r m y kettles everywhere on the street cornew, across the Nation are honored and gradually their contents mount up. Mistletoe, Scotch pine tree*, trimmings and presents find their way into the homes, to a oaJT te> the VUlaft-townihta busiest time of the year for charge of the smorgasbord that I dump Saturday mid-afternottu tht darks, working almost tht fnllowsd tht installation* of a serious nautt. round «f tht dock to get *i . estebrate this great day. Parcel Post, cards tetters reach as and height in tht Post Offlcts, tht these sorted and out on their way. There is a good feeling of fellowship, as everyone works together. A feeling that makes Christmas a time worth while. Santa Clauses of every description are seen. Some are tall and lean, some are fat and chubby, but the kiddies Jove them all. Let them enjoy these Christmas'es to their fill for too soon they grow up to buckle on their armour to assume the turnings and twistings of life, to live with it's secrets, it's remorses, It's sourness and it's necessities. for each life some rain must fall to go along with the sunshine. This would be, Indeed, a great world if the people in it would look only for the good in everyone, instead of the evil, the mistakes and the downfalls that each and everyone of us have sometime, In our lives, to meet up with. We are all of the same pattern, more or less, and made from the same clay. There are two sayings, worth keeping in mind:- "H* that is without sin amongst you, let him cast the first stone.' The other, "No matter how had anyone appear*; there is some good in him." If we could remember these words and live up to them, then there would be a Christmas feeling amongst fellow men, not only at Christmas but thoroughout the whole year.

It wasn't actually necessary, but it was a good idea. A -surpriaing number of home»are underimured. This is because the values of homes have soared over the past two decades, and so have the costs of repairing or replacing them. A home built for $7,000 in 1945 would cost $14,000 today. Many homeowners who bought houses in the late 1940/s also bought adequate insurance — for that time, flat some have ftimply renewed their policies u they expired and the amount of insurance n o longer It adequate. Basically, you may insure your home in one of two ways? either for its actual cash value, or for its replacement cost. If you choose the former, the depredation factors are considered in the payment of a loss. If you insure under a replacement form, the depreciation factors are not considered. Under the popular homeowners package policies, the amount of insurance on the house also determine* the amount of other property coverage such as appurtenant private structures — a guest house or garage, for example — (10 per cent of the dwelling value); personal property (40 per cent of the dwelling) and additional living expenses (20 per cent of the dwelling).

Their height wasn't everything, though, for they played a good defensive game, playing a manto- man style in the first half and switching to a one-two-two zone in -the third quarter. Pinckney pulled within five points in the third quarter, ~ Steve Randolph and Gary Henry led Pinckney on defense. Randolph was also the high scorer for Pinckney and high scorer of the game with 16 points. Bill FJaven led the Lions with 13 points. Both teams hit on 35 per cent of their field-goal attempts. South Lyon was never in much trouble as they got off to a quick start in the first quarter and led at half-time 33 to 22. Pinckney got 4-17 on foul shots for 23 per cent, while South Lyon got 17-28 for 60 per cent. The Pinckney Junior Varsity lost to South Lyon s J.V. team 63 to 33. STAR SINGING As thty go from house to house at Christmas, modern carol singers may be aided by the rays of an electric lantern or a flashlight. This reflects an old custom known as Star singing. Early carolers In Europe made their rounds carrying a large, lighted star, representing the Star of Bethlehem. Later the star was replaced by lanterns and torches.

Andersen Heads County Road Commission HOWELL — The County Road Commission has elected Warren Andersen as its chairman for the ensuing year, and Fred Berry as vice chairman; Norman Topping, who has been chairman for the past year, is the third member of the commission. '' Anderson, who is a general contractor, lives on Old US-23 and has been a member of the commission since July 1, 1958, and is active in all road-building activities. Andersen feels that the County Road Department has been doing a fine, job for the past several years and announces that plans for the coming years contain more road improvements which are sorely needed in Livingston County. It is Ms hop* that the dtilem of Livingston County win see fit to continue this program by approving needed additional financing. * • • • • The Livingston County Road Commission announces a new policy whereby an property owners or builders constructing new driveways or relocating eld driveways mutt obtain permit from the County Road CffffTnfiffion offJoa te en wmcii was mistaken was his estimate of the number of deer in his area. He probably guessed too low. Here's another letter: "Dear Sir: Last fall we did not get all of our corn picked. This spring there was scarcely any left in this 17 acres. Some people figure about $500 damage was done here by the deer herd. "Now we are on Social Security and our income does not go all the way and so we raised this corn for our feeder pigs, to help out our Income. Now this deer herd has eaten up my livelihood. I think that the State should be responsible as long m they are taking the fee from the sportsman, When the farmer's animal gets out he is held liable for dam* age and the State should be no exception.1* Signed . . • • (a farmer). FABM DAMAGE These tetters to "" servaltoB s»s ttuanml either hi or contest, and they are Idly grewtef hi Aboot 10 percent ef 10e,eae farm* as Michigan report some age by eeer. This damage waa estimated to total ever $300,00* hi IMS. Since 1954, traffic in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula has increased 27 percent, while car-deer collisions have increased 316 percent These and other examples point to one dear, inescapable fact: Michigan has a new deer problem on its hands. The problem in northern Michigan for the last 15 years has been one of danger to the herd itself, through deer starvation and depletion of range foods. The problem in southern Michigan, on the other hand, is one of danger to human life and property. Authorities agree that Michigan is going to have to come up with some answers soon, because the trouble is getting worse — fast! The -thousand animals in "the early f4fft to approximately 45,000- 50,000 this year. At this time, Berries Brighten The bright red berries of the Christmasberry, an evergreeh shrub native to California, are widely used as Christmas decorations. This shrub, with its thick, dark green leaves, can grow to a height of 15 feet, the Encyclopedia Americana says. Its flowers are white, Its berries yellow or bright red. The Christmasberry is often known as the toyon. the Conservation Department expects this herd wffl double in ate within five years I WHY INCMEASESf What*s fft'ittiflt thi« tremendous increase? pert*** First, the eeer haa raafe hi plenty ef feed avaflafele, wtta lota ef tags, ywng growth timber, erops to work Second, the food situation and the mild winter* make for a very high fawn production rate and excellent fawn survival. The question we face at this point is what to do about the problem. More than 90 percent of the land in southern Michigan is privately owned, and hunting rights are, as always, controlled by the land owner. The farmer who is suffering crop damage win welcome hunters onto his land. Bat what about those folks down the road who have s> little crop damage, and don't mmd a bit, who love to we deer, and who, know all the local deer by their first Will they welcome special seasons that take extra deer? Will. they allow hupfce**- o * t a e i r l a n d i : ;:•".'.. •/• At'present," uie X2epartnwnt is trending toward use of special seasons in some areas where crop damage has been heaviest and where known concentrations of deer can be stabilized at acceptable levels. Probably the same quotaaera system now used in northern Michigan, or a variatlon, will be put to work in these southern areas. When this will happen, how far it will go, how large the areas and quota* will be — all are questions the Department will be facing constantly from now on. A start toward control may come next year, and even this will be none too soon, says the Conservation Department 3 KNCKNE7 DISPATCH • WEDNESDAY, DEC ti, 1888 Hunting great OUTDOORS BRIGHTON — Gary Shelton, 19, who lives with his father and mother at 4300 Bergiss Road, eight mites north of Brighton, shot and killed this eightpoint 280-pound buck, about twenty minutes after the season opened, on their farm, on which they reside. Gary, hunting every year since he was thirteen years of age, has always killed a back, but never has he bagged one so large as this one* He is having the head mounted, so he can gaze upon it every day, remembering the moment when he was lucky enough' to kill such a price. He is a very proud and happy young man, as well he should be, because not many hunters are fortunate enough to bring home a buck so large. John F. Kennedy Will Be Remembered For His Interest In The Great Outdoors The late President John F. Kennedy, to use a judgment of Franklin D. Roosevelt made earlier this year by then Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson eft the annual meeting; of the National Wildlife Federation in Detroit, will perhaps be remembered as favorably and as affectionately because of the revival that he gave to the conservation movement in this country as he will be remembered for any of the other numerous things he did. The father of the "third wave'* of comervation la the United States — following that of Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin Roosevelt — John F. Kennedy during his tragically fore-shortened ten* ure In the highest office hi the land breathed new Ufa into this vital field of en-| deavor by taking such per* sonal and dramatic steps asi Sending on March 1, 1962, a bold and farseeing special message to the Congress on conservation— a document termed by Interior Secretary Udall "an unprecedented charter for vigorous action, and a specific program for the future"; Proposing, and addressing on May 25, 1962, a White House Conference on Conservation— the first to be called since OHiaSnuS SUUfHUTlMi •ttir tEvnuTon n u n Howell prior to the beginning of such work. The permit is issued at no cost, but the owner most pay for the culvert pipe used at the regular established price. The county engineer, Coffins E. Thornton, will inspect the work and, if necessary, establish the grade of culverts. "No one is permitted to work in any public rifht-ofway prior to obtaining permission from the County Road Theodore Roosevelt convened governors of the States in 1908 —which brought together some 280 leaders of national con servation policy in public and private life for an exchange of views; and EVERYONE'S Emphasizing the need for "new programs of land stew ardfihip" in many of his speeches, especially those made during a September 1963 swing through 10 western states when he made his call for a "third wave of conservation'* and told audiences, "Con servation, in the real analysis is the Job for us alL" The late President indicated his awareness of conservation problems early in his administration. On March 2, 1961, while dedicating the new head quarters building* of the Na tional Wildlife Federation in Washington, D. C, he quoted a poem read at his inauguration by the late Robert Frost which began, "The land was ours before we were the land's," interpreting this to mean that "this new land of ours sustained us before we were a nation, and although we are now the land's — t nation of people matched to a continent — we itill draw our strength and sustenance • , . from the earth." "It is our task in our time and in our generation to hand down undiminished to those who come after us what was handed down to us by those who went before, the natural wealth and beauty which is ours," the late President said at the NWF building dedication ceremony, noting, "To do this will require constant attention and vigilance, sustained vigor and imagination." These qualities — especially vigor and imagination — were brought to bear on the nation's conservation problems by Mr. Kennedy and his able team of hand-picked "New Frontiersmen'* including Secretary of the Interior Udall and Secretary of Agriculture Freeman. Some of the fruthi of the Kennedy Administration's labors: The ostabllsiimanl of three National Cape Cod In Point Reyes m CaBfornie, and Padre Island hi Texas — and several saw National WfldBfe Refuges; ef a, new ef outdoor reereattoa activities; The strengthening of Federal water pollution control programs, especially in the areas of law enforcement and grants for waste treatment plant construction; The authorization of a $105- million loan for the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife to initiate a crash program of wetlands acquisition; The accelerated setting aside of wilderness areas within the national forests despite the failure of Congress to pass the Administration- supported Wilderness BUL The adoption of a Department of Commerce regulation requiring coordination with state conservation agencies in the planning of highways built with federal funds; and The steps taken within the federal establishment to lessen the potential threat of chemical pesticides to man and wildlife, through research, law enforcement and education programs^ Obituaries JOtiX ROBERTS John H. Roberts, 47, of Sidney, Michigan died December 4, 1963 at the Sidney Community Hospital, Sidney, Michigan following a rather short illness.

Stanley's friend and companion in Africa and who has only lately returned, is an Englishman only twenty-six years of age. He had a natural fondness for adventure, and, as his parents refused their consent he ran away to tea, landing in Australia where he joined a strolling circus as a horizontal bar prodigy. He did not remain long in this position, but started alone and afoot for the unknown interior of Australia with the purpose of getting as far away from all civilization as possible. He soon found himself ragged, barefooted, and with starvation staring him in the face, and no help within reach; a party of prospectors, however, saved him just in time. Afterwards he traveled in India and Borneo. In the latter country his oompanions died, and it took Ward six months to fight bis way back to the coast He then met Stanley in London, who secured him an appointment in the Congo state. His experiences in Africa have been of a most Taried kind. It lu now five years since he went out; he served his period of three years, and was returning home when he met the Etnin P&gcha relief expedition with Stanley at the head. He offered his services, and has been with Stanley until his return to £ngland a short time ago. The supreme court of New York gives new force to the "unwritten law" that a criminal cannot profit by the fruits of his own crime, A young rascal, fearing that his grandfather would change a will made in his fa- Tor, deliberately poisoned him, and eacaped just punishment for the crime toy going to the reformatory for three years. At the expiration of his sentence he attempted to gain possession of the property, and was sustained by the lower court. The court of appeals, however, viewed the case from the etandpoint of morals of equity and declined to put a premium on murder. The point raised by the court is not covered by common law, yet the justice of the decision is indisputable, and establishes an important precedent for contingencies of the kind. f J The Parnell commission, just adjourned, dragged it§ weary length through a period of one hundred and twenty-eight days, and closed without treating the slightest ripple in pub- Mo sentiment. The even position of the court forbids the hope that its •occlusionB will be based on the evidence and justice of the Irish cause. The court was organized to determine #ie truth or falsity of the London Timee' charges against Parnell, and wfaen they collapsed in an avalanche of forgery and fraud the verdict of the world pronounced Parnell not guilty. The shot the traitor Piggot fired into hie own brain sealed the verdict, and destroyed the usefulness of the court of inquiry from that moment. In the past quarter of a eentury cotton has declined from first to fourth place among the products of ihe United States. The value of this year's crop is estimated at three hundred and sixty million dollars. Those figures are exceeded by the corn and wheat and hay crops. Hut while cotton has fallen from its high estate at home, it has no rival as an article of loreign commerce. The yield this year shows a large increase, but the demand has also increased. It is o -ttimated that the consumption for 1839- 90 will exceed that of last ye»r b>y over three hundred bale*. THE MESSAGE. The President's Advice to the Fifty First Congress. The Salient Point* o f • Very Lengthy D o c u m e n t . ' WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—President Harrison's message opens with the statement that good-will and cordiality have characterized our relations sod correspondence with other governments, and the year Just closed leaves few internal Questions of importance remaining uuadjusted, and no obstacle exists to long iwmpone the adjustment of pending questions. He refers favorably to the me«tiug of the pan-American congress, and the international marine conference; advises that ail the South American and the Hawaiian and H&ytian missions be raised to tirst-claas; wants the Chinese already in this country kindly treated; recommends that provision be made by an international agreement for visibly marking the water boundary between the United States and Canada in the narrow channels that join the great lakes; advises enlargement of the list of offenses for which extradition may be claimed and grunted between this country and Great Britain, by a new treaty to be laid before the senate; says all difficulties that prevented the beginning of the Nicaraguacaual have been adjusted; suys that Persia is treating the missionaries kindly and Inviting American capital; troubles with naturalized citizens abroad, especially in France, Italy, Russia and Turkey need adjusting; and declares that the new republic of Brazil will be recognized as soon as the people of that country have assented to its establishment. TUB 81 Within our own borders a general condition of prosperity prevails. The report of the secretary oi the treasury shows that The receipts lor the year were $387.050,058.- W; derived from customs, $2i3,b3i,741.ti9; from internal revenue, 1^30,5*1,513.V2; from miscellaneous sources, *iii,335,$98.23. The ordinary expenditures, for the same period were $281,yyo,i>l.">.60, aod the total expenditures, including the sinking fund, were $aiS,5Ty,V--KJ.2o. The excess was $57,410,- 129.59. For the total iiscal year the total revenue, actual and estimated, are fc»»o, 000,000, i.na the ordinary expenditures, actual and estimated, is fr.293,000,1)00, making with the Binking fund, a total expenditure of ffel,- 3-1,lit*.yy, leaving an estimated surplus of |43,b78,&<8.01. The existence of so large a surplus should have ihe immediate attention of congress, with a view to reducing the receipts of the treasury to the needs of the government. The collection of moneys not nseded for public uses imposes an unnecessary burden upon the people, and the presence of so large a surplus in the public vaults is a disturbing element in the conduct of private business. DAXGBROUS LOANS. The loaning of public funds to the banks without interest, upon the security of government bonds, I regard as an unauthorized and dangerous expedient. It is not to be expected that the banks having these deposits will sell their bauds to the treasury so long as the present highly beneficial arrangement is continued. They now practically get interest both upon the bonds and their proceeds. The deposits now outstanding should be gradually withdrawn and applied U> the purchase of bonds. TAHIFF KBVISIOV. I recommeud a revision of our tariff law, both to its administrative features and in the schedules. Uniformity of valuation at all our ports is essential. aDd elective measures should be taKen to secure it. Some disturbances of business m.iy result from the consideration of this. Temporary ill-effert will be reduced to the minimum by prompt action, snd by the assurance which the country already enjoys that uny necessary changed will be eo made ;is not to impair the just and reasonable production of our home industries. The inequalities of the law should be adjusted, but rhe protective principles should be maintained andjtairly applied to the products of our farms us well a9 our shops. The free list can very Bafoly be extended by placing thereon articles that do not offer injurious competition to such domestic products as our tVorue labor can supply. The removal of the internal tax upon tobacco would relieve an important ii^ricultural product from a burden which was imposed 0nly_Jiecttiise our revenue from customs duties was insufficient for the public needn. If safe provis.on against fraud can be devised, the removal of the tax upon spirits used in the arts and manufactures would also offer an unobjectiouabl © method of reducing the surplus. SILVER COINAGE. The law requiring the purchase of f2,- 000,000 worth of silver bullion each month, to be coined into silver dollars of 412>£ grains, has been observed by the department; but neither the present secretary nor any of his predecessors has deemed it safe to exercise the discretion given by law to increase the monthly purchases to $4,000,000. Wheu the law was enacted (February 28, ls?b) the price of silver in the market was $1.20 4 10 per ounce, making the bullion value of the dollar ^3 cents. Since that time the price lias fallen as low as 91.02 cents jier ounce, reducing the bullion vah*« of the dollar to 70.He. Within the last i'ew months the market price has somewhiit advanced, and on the flrstday of November last the bullion value of a Bilverdollarw. is 72 cents. The evil anticipations which have accompanied the coinage and use of the silver dollar have not been realized. As H < oin it has not had general use, and the publiv treasury has been compelled to store it. Hut this is manifestly owing to the fact that its paper representative is more convenient. The genernl acceptance and use of the silver certificate shows that silver has not been otherwise discredited. The coinage ot silver at the present ratio free would be disastrous to all business interests. Atalaterd;iy I may communicate further with oougrtss upon tins subject. 1 /JB I H l ^ L TOf.1 CHINAMAN. The enforcement of the Chinese exclusion act haa been found to bo very difficult on the northwestern frontier. Chinamen, landing at Victoria, And it easy to pass oar border, owing to the impossibility, with the force nt Ihe command of the. customs officers, of guarding so long an inland lino. The secretary of the treasury has authorized the employment of additional officers who will be assigned to this duty, anil every effort will bo made to enforce the law. THK COAST Judged by modern standards, we nro practically without coivst defenses. I very urgently, recommoDd an appropriation at this senmon for the construction of such works in our most exposed harbors, 1 approve the suggestion of the secretary of wur that provision be made for encamping companion ef the national gutrd in our jcoast works for a specified time each year, And. for their training in the use of heavy funs. RIVKRfl AKD HARBOR*. The improremeat oi oar important river* and harbors should be promoted by the necessary appropriations. Care should uw taken that tfce government is not committed to the prosecution of works not of public and general advantage, and that the relative usefulness of works of that claas is not overlooked. I do not doubt that the end would be sooner and more economically reached If fewer separate works were undertaken at the same time, and those selected for their greater general interevt were more rapidly pushed to completion.

Terry upon the person of Justice Field of the supreme court at LaUhrop in June last, and the killing of the assailant by a deputy United States marshal, suggest questions which, in my judgment, are worthy the attention of congress. I recommend that more definite provision be made by law not only for the protection of federal officers, but for a full trial of such oases in the United States courts. WITNESSES. Events, which have been brought to my attention, happening in other parts of the country, have HISO suggested the propriety of extending, by legislation, fuller protection to those who muy be called as witnesses in the courts of the United States. The investigation of criminal offenses are often rendered futile, and the punishment of crime impossible, by the intimidation of witnesses. The necessity of providing some moro speedy method of disposing of the cases which now come for tin at adjudication to the supreme court becomes every year more apparent uud urgeat The plan of providing some intermediate courts, haying final appellate jurisdiction of certain classes of questions and cases has, I think, received a more general approval from the bench and bar of the country than any other. I recommend that provision be made for the establishment of such courts. 8ALAHIES. The salaries of the judges of the district court* in many of the districts are, in my judgment, inadequate, I recommend that ail such salaries now below $."\000 per annum be increased to that amount. THK TKCST8. Earnest attention should be given by congress to a consfderatiou of the question how far the restraint of those combinations of capital commonly called "trusts'" is matter of federal jurisdiction. They are dangerous conspiracies against the public good, and should bo made the subject of prohibitory and even penal legislation. INTERNATIONAL. COPYKIGIIT. The subject of an interuational copyright has been frequently commended to attention of congress by my predecessors. The en actmeut of such a law would be eminently wise and just. NATURALIZATION. Our naturalization laws should be so revised as to make the inquiry into the moral character and good disposition towards our government of the persons applying for citizenship more thorough. This can only be done by taking fuller control of the examination, by fixing the times for hearing such applications, and by requiring the presence of some one who shall represent the government in the inquiry. Those who are avowed enemies of social order, or who come to our shores to swell the Injurious influence and to expend the evil practices of any assoeiatiou that denes our laws, should not only be denied citizenship, but domki.e. BANKHUHTCY. The enactment of a national bankrupt law, of a character to be a permanent part of our general legislation, is desirable. It should be simple in its method and inexpensive iu its administration. CIVIL SKRVICK. The reform of the civil service will make no safe or satisfactory advance Until the present law ami its equal administration are well established in the confidence of the people, it will be my pleasure, as it is my duty, to Bee that the law is executed with firmness and Impartiality. As a result of the revision oi the rules, of the new classification aud of the inclusion of the railway muil service, the work of the comtmsaiou h.,s been greatly increased and the present clerical force is found inadequate. ; i recommend that the additional clerks asked by the commission be appropriated tor. The duty of appointment is devolved by the constitution or by thv; luw, uud the appointing oltuxjrs are properly held te a high responsibility in us exercise. The growth of tue country and the consequent increase of the ciril hat have BQuguiMed this function of the executive disproportionately. It cannot be denied, however, that the labor couuecltsd with this necessary work is increased, of i en to the point of distress, by the sudden aud excessive demands that are cu.de upon un incoming administration for removals und appovulmonta. But, on tho other hand, it is not true that incumbency IB a conclusive argument for a continuance iu office. Impartiality, moaerution, fidelity to public duty, and a good attainment in the discharge of it muni be added before the argument is complete. When those holding administrative offices so conduct themselves as to convince jUst political opponents that no party consideration or bias effects in auy wu.y the discharge of their public duties, we can more easily stay the domund lor removals. I have suggested to tho heads of the executive departments tbet they couftider whether a record might not be kept in each bureau of all these elements that are covered by thetormB "faithfulness" and "etticiency," and a rating mada showing the relative merits of the clerks of each class, this rating to be regarded as a test of merit in making promotions. I have also suggested to the postmaster general that he adopt some plan by which be can, upon iho basis of the reports to the uepanment and of frequent inspections, indicate the rel tive merit of postmasters of each clsbs. They will be appropriately indicated in the o№cial register and in the report of the department. That a groat stimulous would thus bo given to the. whole service, I do not doubt, and such a record would bo the beat defense against inconsiderate removals from oftice, KDUOATIONAU National aid to education has heretofore taken ihoformof land grants, and iu that form tin: constitutional power of congress to promolo tho education of the people is not seriously questioned. I do not think tt can be successfully questioned when the form is changed to that of a direct grant of money from the public treasury. As tho suggestion of a national grant in aid of education grows chiefly out ol tho condition and needs of the emancipated siave und his descendants, tho ro.ief should, us fur as possible, whilo necessarily proceeding upmi some general lines, be applied to the need that suggested it. I recoup mood that any appropriation made for this purposo bo so liRiitcd ia annuil amount and as to the time over which it is to extend as will, ntt the one band give the local school authorities opportunity to make the best use of the tirst year's allowance, and oil tho other deliver them from the temptation to duly postpone the assumption of the whole burden themselves. THS MB.iKO QUESTION . In many parts of our country where the colored population is large the people of that race are, by various devices, deprived of any effective exercise of their political rights. The wrong does not expend itself upon those whose votes are suppressed. Every constituency in the union is wronged. If it 1% said that these communities must work out this problem for themselves, we have a right to ask whether the/ are at work upon It. The power to take the whole direction aod control of the election of members of the house of representatives is clearly given to the general government. A partial and quttHned supervision of these elections is now provided for by the law, and in m.v opinion this law may be so strengthened and extended as to secure, on the whole, better results, than can be attained by a law taking all the processes of such election into federal con troL MERCHANT MARINE. There is nothing more justly nuxmliatinR to the national pride, and nothing more hurtful to the national prosperity than the Inferiority of our merchant marine, compared with that of other nations whose general resources, wealth and sea coast lines do not suggest any reason for their supremacy on the sea. I recommend that such appropriations be made for ocean muil service in American steamships between our ports and those of Central and South America, China, Japan and the important islands in both of the great oceans, as will be liberally remunerative for the service rendered, and as will encourage the establishment and in some fair degree equalize the chances of American steamship lines in the competition which they must meet, That the American states lying south of us will co/dially co operate in establishing and maintaining such lines of steamships to their principal ports 1 do not doubt. The legislation which I have suggested it is sincerely belived will promote the peace and honor of our country, and the prosperity and security of our people. I invdfto tbejliligent and serious attention of congress to the consideration of these and such other measures as may be presented having the same great end in view.

I Bhnll never forget the time when I f M a band in a emu 11 fishing vessel thai tended the l^ndon market, says a writer in the Boston Globe. The weather was very warm and flan scarce; some of the old hands thought some Icind of a destructive thin was playing havoc for set our trawls where he would they were skinned as clean as though the job was done by hand. One evening two men that went in •dory No. 3 brought the news" that sharks were plenty and we had better chip to Home other berth. The anchor was catheaded, sails hoisted and a, course laid out that would bring us to Jeffries bank, which lies about thirty or forty miles of! Portland. The next morning at duyli<jht we were in our dories and proceeded to set our fishing gear. My partner and I took the oat- Bide on the western end and all went well; we were hauling in fish tor half an hour with every promise of a good catch. I was hauling the trawl at the time, and telt a sudden tug and yank that very nearly took mo out of the dory. I knew it was sharks in a minute, and stopped hauling to see if they wouid show up. Suddenly there was a twitch und a pull hai-der than ever, and I hauled away as lively as possible, knowing he would bite the line if he could to clear himself. I pulled and he tugged, but I kept the line coming all the time. First, he would tow us in one direction and then in another, so I surmised we had him by the tail, and told my partner to have a sharp knife ready to cut away. After a long ;md hard pull I got him to the top of the water and found that he had taken two good hitches around his tail and was working hard to get clear. The next thing to do was to get his tail on the rail of the dory and cut clear. A strong pull by both of.us placed him at our mercy, then I looked overboard to see Jthe kind of chap we had, and if anything would make a fisherman feel blue it vvosuld be a look from that angry man outing shark that we were fast to. He..wonId curl up in a bow, look at us with those cold eyes,, and shp his body about in a very dangerous manner, but tho line was strong and we had him secure. The only thing we could do was to cutoff his tail and let him go clear of the trawl, and my partner held onto one side of his tail while I used the knife. In a minute he was clear, and. with back and bolly fins to propel with, drove for the bottom, leaving a trail of blood after him, that 1 knosv would cause trouble. lie caino up with a rush, jumping full length out of the water, and dropped wo close to our dory that tho splash nigh swamped us. We hauled away clear of him, and after we got out1 gear wo started to row for tho vessel. After rowing a short1 distance we wore in tho midst of a school of man-eating sparks that had scented tho blood of their maimed relative. My partner was rowing a new pair of oars and they attracted tho sharks. They made snap after snap at the blades, and as our dory was deep loaded with fish they appeared to think wo would be an easy prey. So hard did they press us that tho new oars had to be taken in and the fish thrown overboard to distract their attention. We wore within a quarter mile of the vessel and had succeeded in shaking off all but one of them. He was a 6iaallcus3 and would purr up alongside tha dory like a cat an 1 never loft us until we reached our vessel and were safe aboard. Only a Jackass. When men entor the speculative field .'

Some are such born gamblers that they •ever weaken so long as there is a stake to bo obtained with which to operate, while others throw up the sponge after a dose or two of html luck. Not very long ago a gentleman was seized with the fever to speculate, and he made some ventures on 'change.

Tho roply was brief and to the point; it was simply "Xo.11 Without noticing the abruptness of the answer or the tone of despondency in which it was given, the friend said: "I say, Jim, which are you, anyway, a bull or a bear?" To this the speculator replied in such a manner that his friend' could nob help but know tbe state of affairs and be refrained from further questioning. The answer was: "Neither, hang it; I am nothing but a bloody, blooming jackaia." _ LEFT-LEGGED HUMANITY. Why a Ma/n when Lost Always Travels Around In a Circle. ProfeaBor Ball, in "Le Dualisma Cerebral/' speaks of man aa a righthanded animaL Being right-handed, it is popularly assumed that he is also right-legged, but this does not appear to be the case. Standing, working with the right hand, there is a tendency to use tho left ley for balance. Many people find less exertion la going round circles to the ritrht than to the left Race tracks are nearly always made for running circles to the riff lit So the majority of movements are more readily performed to tho right, as dancing, ruuning, etc. The rule in walking is to keep to th e right, and this appears to bo almost universal. It Is more natural to bear to the right. Of a large number of people from the better educated classes are asked about the existence of the rule, only sixty-seven per cent malea and fifty-three percent females were aware of the rule; the large majority obey it unconsciously in walking. Crowds tend lo bear to the right. The left leg Deing the stronger, it is more readily brought into action; hence troops start otf with the left foot; it is the foot which is placed into the stirrup of the saddle or step of the bicycle in mounting; so the left foot is the loot from which a man Btarts in jumping. Jn the experiments of G. H. Darwin, blind-folding boys and telling: them to walk straight, the righthanded one diverged to the right and vice versa. From measurements of Dr. Garson of tbe skeletons of two legs, in 54.S per cent the left was the longer and 55.8 the right For measurements of the feet the writer collected the drawings me*, measurements of 200 pairs with tbe result that in 44 per cent the left was longer^ in 21.5 per oent the right, and in 84.5 per cent they were the same size. Measurement at the first joint gave 56 per cent left large, and at the instep 42.5 per oent From the cable of the figures it is observed that the left foot is more frequently the larger in the male than the female sex, and the percentage of feet of the same size is greater in the female. The percentage of the right larger than the left is very constant, whereas the number of the left larger and those in which both feet were the same size are much more variable. Man, being naturally or artificially righthanded and left-lesfged, tends unconciously to bear to the right; lo'.^er animals, on the other hand, appear nearly always to circle to the left Marriage The Hebrews had a beautiful and elevated idea of the marriage relation, the Greeks had n o t Spwta cared nothing for the sanctity of marriage, and it wan considered customary and reputable for men to ^ive their wives over to their friends. Aristotle speaks of men buying wives from one another. Homor refere to tho fact that the father w s the owner of tho child until s h e was beyond his control, and was paid for her in cattle, and this was called cuttle-finding. A Trojan ally, who wae slain by Agamemnon, had given 100 cattle to obtain a wife, and then promised 1,000 head of sheep and goate besides, if the wife proved unfaithful tho husband could demand back the price. Under the Roman law a dowager had to go with tho wife. Affinity and consanguinity were formerly, in some countries, greater objections to marriage than now. Gregory forbade tho marriage of cousins. The Church of England dooa not forbid such marriages. Some of our states do and some do not. Tho romantic Cleopatra was a daughter of a brother and sister, and she wedded her younger brothe-r, according to the custom of the Ptolemies. Many authorities claim that marriage to cousins is not detrimental where there had not boen such marriages in the family before. Tho marriage ceremony h s differed in all a^res. Among tho ancient Hebrews marriage begcwi with the betrothal, but no Jormality wad required. Ky his teaching Christ became a legislator on this subject and ennobled the relation more than it had ever been in tho world's history.—Cin. Com. Gazette. Tho Harvest.

I employed several Urst class physicians ol this city, none of whom effected a cure or gave temporary relief even. About two years ago I was induced to try Hibbard's Rheumatic Syrup, and, after taking a few bottles, I experienced relief, sod now consider myself cured. I unhesitatingly recommend this medicine for rheumatism. 1 know what it has done for me, what physicians could not do, L e., cured me of rheumatism. M K*. H. J. KKSTLELD.

A Germa n professor of languages at Dresden , in speaking before a class the othe r day, said tha t the next hundre d years would witness th e tota l extinctio n of the Germa n language, and tha t English alone would be spoken on th e habitabl e globe. That' s a good enoug h language for anybody. A scheme is being agitated in some part s of the state to nam e all countr y roads, as street s are now named , and to numbe r the houses along these roads. The plan is a good one and should be adopte d by countr y boards. At presen t countr y roads have no designatio n except as incidentall y fall to them and it is often difficult for stranger s to find their way without frequen t inquiries . Nam e th e roads and let the name s appea r on each corner . I t will then be easy to find any house in tho countr y as it now is in the city where the street and numbe r are given. CALE AT THE in need of PLAIN O O O O ^ O O O © M gtasouable CUR LETT'S Thrush, PinwormJHeav B Remeily. Curlett' s Thrus h Cure . A sure cure for Thrush , and all rottin g awej1 diseases of the feet of stock. Carlett' s 1/inwor m Remedy . (Fo r man or beast.) A compoun d tha t effectually removes those troublesom e parasites, which are such a great source of annoyanc e to stock. Curi e tt's Heave Remedy . A sure cure for heave* in the earlier staces, and warrante d to relieve in advance d stages, but not producin g a cure . Stoc k is kept for profit, th e work team s because the y can be used to an advantag e in th e growing of tho necessar y crop s and doin g th e work tha t can be don e cheapes t by horse power, the milch cows for th e calves and milk, sheep for wool, mutto n and the increase , an d hogs to be fed an d fattene d for market . Th e breed , th e feed and th e care to a great exten t determine s th e profit, and as th e year draws to a close it will be well enoug h to ascertai n as fully as possible whethe r or no t the stock kept on t he farm has been profitable , an d to determin e at th e same time whethe r or •no t by different managemen t th e profits migh t no t be increased . With a small numbe r of stock, an d when the y are fed from th e same bins of corn and th e same lofts of hay, it is mor e difficult t o keep an accoun t tha n if a sufficient numbe r of stock can be kept to have the feed for each different class kept separate . I t can hardl y be considere d good business managemen t to keep stock on th e farm an d no t know whethe r the y arc payin g a profit it is possible t o secure . Even with th e best class of stock the managemen t has muc h to do in determinin g th e profits, an d the managemen t should be looked over carefully, an d where it is possible improvement s should be made . Price s are low and profits are small, bot h in growing th e crop s an d in keepin g stock, and it is an advantag e to feed out th e product s of th e farm to stock an d increas e th e profits rathe r tha n to sell. Ther e is always a risk in feedin g and fattenin g sfock for market , as well as in breeding , and if the work canno t be mad e profitable it should nn t be done . While generall y on th e farm a bette r plan will be to keep a variety of stock, some farms are bette r adapte d to keepin g on e class of stock tha n others , and when thi s is th e case it will be bette r to make a specialt y of this class. Tn man y cases this fact canno t be ascertaine d unless mor e care is taken to keep accounts - with the different classes of stock. I t is some troubl e to keep accounts , bu t certainl y less tha n to keep »tockr breed , feed and care for them , a4id the n derive no profit, and especially v/he n the profits are small, th e only plan of accuratel y determinin g which stock are profitabl e is to keep account s an d look over tho past man - agemen t an d mako such improv e ments as are necessary. Jno . Steele , a miller of Scio, Mich. , says: "Hors e distempe r left my lior^e with a heavy cough which I thin k wo'ilii have produce d heaves, but for th e uss of Curlett' s Heav e remed y which cure d the cough in H short time find left tho horse in a jjood health y condition. " Valentin e Bros., successful Hors e and Shee p dealer s of Webster, (Ml 0. Dexter. ) says: k'\Ve have always used Curlett' s spavin remed y with the best of results for killing spavins; also found il good for takin g ofY puffs and splints. Have tried Curlett' s Ihrus h remed y with a complet e cure as a result. " McQuilla n lSros., of Dexter , say: "Epizuati c on two different years Ltft two different ' horses with a heavy cough which would have probabl y produce d heaves but for th e uae of Curlett' s heave remed y which cure d the cough s in a short time and left the horses in a good health y condi - tion. " W. II . Lyons, of Lvons & Brownell, liverymen at Stoekbridge , Mich. , says: "We had a very bad case of Thrus h in a valuable mar e an d could not seem to cure it, after tryin g for a year. After tryin g one bottl e of Curlett' s Thrus h Remedy , th e mar e got over he r lamenes s an d ha s as good a foot as any horse , an d to-da y is cured. " Jno . Helber , highway commission - er, of Scio, Mich. , says: "I have used Curlett' s pinwor m remed y several years with the best of success; the "first dost* tha t I gave a horse brough t away a ball of pinworm s as big as my list. Always worked horses while giving Curlett' s pinwor m rem - edy which tone d the constitutio n and mad e them have a good sott glossy coat and my horses always increase d in good sound flesh after its use." H . (Tip. ) Ball, who doctor s th e greate r part of th e horses in ani l aroun d Dexter , and one of th e firm of Phelp s & Ball liverymen , horsedealers, and owners of the handsom e trottin g stallion , Regalia, says: U I have used Curlett' s thrus h remed y a great deal and have never known it to fail to produc e a permanen t cure for thrus h when used as directed,— I conside r it a positive cure foi the disease." J. C. Crawley, horse and cow doctor, of Scio, Mich. , and note d for always successfully removin g th e plaoent s from cowsr says: "I cure d my Frenc h pon y of a very bad case of thrus h with Curlett' s thrus h remed y which 1 have also used for bruisee, wounds , an d scars caused by feet comin g in contac t with sharp or hard substances . Have found th e thrus h remed y to do all an d mor e tha n is claime d for \\ after a few applica - tion s smell and lamenes s is removed ; •us e it with success in curin g all cases of thrus h tha t I doctor.

Calley, who for the past few months has been operating a furniture factory, is much interested in organizing a stock company .for the manufacture of furniture. This is an enterprise that com mends itself to the people of this village and vicinity as being worthy of a hearty fostering. It would require fuirds sufficient to erect a building of brick 40x60 feet with iron roof, the cost of which would be about $1500, and could a stock company of say from six to eight thousand dollars be established, Mr. Calley informs us it would be a profitable investment, and one that would at least pay 20 per cent, profit on the money invested. There is no better point in the state than this. The shipping facilities are all that could be desired; the stock of lumber is at hand for the manufacture; it would employ from 15 to 20 men, and add an enterprise to our village that would be felt by the business men of the village and the farmers. Mr. Calley is so certain of its success that he would invest $2000 in the enterprise could some others be induced to join him.— Stockbridge Sun.

"You will be welcome with or without Austen's permission," he had said fervently. Tessa resolved to test the truth of the words. Hastily she thrust a few necessaries into her traveling bag, and packed her dresaes and clothes into the large traveling trunk. It could be sent after her at some future time, she thought. As she turned the key the flash of the diamond on her hand caught her eye. It was not usual among the Friends to exchange rings; but Austen, though he laughed at the custom, had gratified Tessa's childish fancy for pretty things and given her a ring she had admired one day in a jeweler's window—a broad gold band \H^h. one large diamond set in the centre. There was a Hash of indignan ttears in Tessa's eyes as she drew this ring from her finger, placed it in an envelope and addressed it to Austen. How well she remembered the day on which he had brought it home from town—the loving words he whispered as he placed it on her linger—the kisses she had given as her thanks! Ah, well, it was all ended now! she thought. She completed her preparations, putting her bag carefully out of sight in the wardrobe, and, having removed all traces of packing from the room, drew up her chair to the window, and sat looking out across the garden with sad dreamy eyes! How pretty it looked that summer afternoon, with the sunshine pouring upon the trim lawn, und the roses and lillies of which poor Mrs. Bevan had been so fond! How many happy hours Tessa had spent there with Austen during the last few weeks! The tears rushed into her eyes at tho remembrance of them. The carriages' returned by-and-by from the funeral. Tessa saw Austen, looking vei-y pale and stern, descend and enter tho house, and heard him cross the hall and shut himself up in his study. The clay wore on; the guests who had been invited to the fuueral departed, and a groat silenco fell^upon tho house. Tessa was startled out of her reverie at last by a low tap at the door. At the sound her cheeks Hushed and bev heart beat wildly. Perhaps it was Austen—Austen who had repented of his harshness, and had come willing to listen to the explanation which she had offered and he had refused to hear. Hurriedl y she rose from her seat and opened the door; but her heart sank again, and she could not repress a tfaint cry of disappointment, for it was not Austen who itood there, but only the under house- »aid. «'Oh, Mary, is it you?" she said. ^ V s , Miss Tessa." '"All the servants were fond of Tessa, and with this girl she was an especial favorite; and now she looked pityingly at Tessa's tear-stained face. •'I came to see if you wanted anything, miss. May I bring you a cup of tea and something lo eat? You have had nothing since breakfast, and you are looking quite pale and ill." ••I have a headache. Yes. you may brinjf mo some tea, please, Mary." "And something to eat with it, mitt? There is to bo no regular din- -day, for master and Mrs. C'aldined early with tho visitot>< took said I had to tell y*rrt'sho would make some soup Utff'Tn a minute." . ^ , - ' ' ' " "Cook is vQry'kind." Tessa, suddenly remembering tho journey that lay,J^fore her, and also that it was .-improbable she would get anything to eat until late at nights-felt grateful to cook for' the suggestion. "1 should like the soupr*' "Then Til bring it at once, miss.'1 . Mary retired, and presently returnad with a tray containing a vory tempting little repast; Tessa, who had eaten very little in the past two days felt her appetite return at the sight of i t She ate heartily, and thoroughly enjoyed the cup of fragrant coffee which concluded the meal. Mary looked on with satisfied eyes. "There—you look better already, miss! It's queer what a difference food makes to one's feelings," she remarked philosophically. "I wish you could persuade Mr. Revan to have something, miss. He ate nothing at luncheon, and directly he came home from the funeral he shut himself up in his study—it is over the housekeeper's room, you know, miss—and we can hear him walking up and down the room and never resting a minute. He do take on sadly to be sure, but he was so fond of the poor old missus! Incteed, who wasn't?"—and Mary put her apron to her eyes and sobbed. "Ah, there's one though that don't grieve much!" "Who, Mary?" Tessa asked absently. "Why, Mrs, Callender, of course, miss! bhe1d barely got home from the funeral afore she was in the poor missus's room, ferreting about her drawers! And you know that white lace scarf which missus said you was to have for a remembrance of her? Well, I saw Mrs. Callender with my own eyes take it out of the drawer and carry it off to her room; and it's my opinion, miss, and cook's too, that she means to keep it." '•Nevermind, Mary; I can remember Mrs. Bevan without the scarf. Now you may take these things away; and, Mary"—Tessa hesitated—"my headache is so bad that I will stay here and be quiet; and as I shall not want anything else, you need njt disturb me again to-night." "Very well, miss. You will be sure touring if you want anything?" "Quite sure; but I Bhall not want anything. Tell Mrs. Callender so, please, if she makes any inquiries about me." "Oh, she won't trouble herself, miss—no fear!'1 Mary gave a sniff, took up her tray, and left the room. Tessa locked the door after her, took out her bag, and looked at her watch. The train by which she intended to travel left Pennington at six; it would take her nearly an hour to walk to the station, and, as it was then nearly five, she had no time to lose. She slipped on a long ulster and a close hat, and, taking her bag in her hand, crept noiselessly down-stairs, and unnoticed left the" house. There was great consternation in the household tho next morning when Tessa's tlight was discovered. Mrs. Callender came Hying into the library, where Auslen was writing letters, full of alarm and wondering conjectures. She was much astonished at the way in which her brother received the intelligence — utterly thunderstruck when he told her calmly, but with a gray haggard look on his face, that he was not surpried—that he had fancied that Tessa intended to leave them, only—-and his face changed a little—• he had not expected she would go so soon or HO suddenly. Their engagement lrid been broken otY two days before; some facts very discreditable to Tessa h»d come to his knowledge, and 'made this course absolutely necessary. He refused, however, much to Mrs. Calender's disappointment, to say what Uiese falts were, and something in his face and mannor forbade even that strong-minded lady to persist in her inquiries.' "Sho left this for you, Austen," placing tho envelope which contained tho ring on the table. Auslen took and opened it slowly— took the ring in his hand. He looked at it for a moment in silence, then, with a sneering laugh, threw it into the drawer of his desk. Tessa's Might had thoroughly convince him that his suspicions were correct. Well, she might go. She had preferred shame to honor—vice so virtue, and he would not lift a finger to drag her back. * • • * * • "Austen have you heard that Noel Cleveland has come back to Priory?'1 Three months had passed since that July evening when Tessa had left her home, and it was now nearly tho end of October. The nights and mornings were cold and frosty, and here and there the trees were beginning- to show the vivid lints of autumn. Austen, who was sitting- by the tire with a book" in his hand, started and frowned OIK grily at the words. "No, I did not know j.t. "When?\ he said curtly. "Last Monday. His wife died, three months ago, you know, jiml he is coming bat'k to live alto^eher at the _Pi»tO'ry, he tells me.'' "Is he married again?' "(Jood'gracious, Austen"—and Mrs. Cnllendor assumed her most severe expression—"and his wife just dead! Of course, he will marry again, byand by." Sho paused for a moment, and then wont on meditatively, "I used to think he admired Tossa very much once, and certainly the ea^er way in which ho asked after her to-day confirms that idea," "After her?" and Austen looked up sx^donly. "Yes, and seemed so astonished when I told him she was not with us —so astonished indeed that he forgot his good manners," Mrs. Callender went on severely. "What did you tell him?" Austen's voice bounded very hoarse and strange, Mrs. Callender thought. She looked at him rather sharply. "What could 1 tell him, except that she had left us quite suddenly, and that I did not know where she was?" she answered in an aggrieved voice. "You were always so very mysterious about Tessa, Austen, and he seemed so surprised." Austen sprang up suddenly from bin seat. Could this be true? Could Cleveland really be as ignorant as he pt-etended to be—know as little of Teasa's movements? Surely he must be either the most consummate hypocrite— the mjbt bare-faced villian; or he—Austen—must be tho greatest fool the world held! He felt that he could not rest an instant lonyer—that he could not let another hour pass by before he confronted Cleveland and learned the truth. Without another word, and with a restless impetuosity which surprised and annoyed Mrs. Callender, he went hastily out of the room, caught up his hat from the hall-tablo, and rapidly walked across the lields to tho Priory. There was a light in the library window— the room which Cleveland generally occupied when alone; Austen saw his shadow move across the blind as he passed, heard his cheery voice speaking to his dogs. The servant who opened the door looked a little surprised when he saw the visitor. It was many a long dav since Austen had been at the Priory. He took him at once into the library where Cleveland was sitting. The room looked cheer.'ul and cosy; a table spread with wine and fruit and flowers wtw drawn close to the fire; a great mastiff and a tiny terrier were rolling about on the rug, and Cleveland, lying back in his chair with his pipe between his lips, looked the picture of comfort and ease. He started up and looked surprised as the visitor entered, then came forward with outstretched hand and a cordial greeting. "Austen! It is pleasant to see you here again!" he cried. "You have come to welcome me home? Sit down, old fellow—I am delighted to see you!" But Austen did not take any notice of the proffered hand. There was an intent questioning look on his face, and his eyes gleamed oddly under their thick brows, and Cleveland noticed that the veins on his clenched hands stood out like knotted cords. "I have come," he said at last, speaking in an unnatural voice, "to ask you one question; and when you have answered it 1 will either ask your pardon on ray knees, or execrate you as the greatest villian that ever walked this earth! Where is Tessa Cardine?" . "Tessa Cardine? How on earth should I know?11 Cleveland cried, in a tone of the wildest amazement. "I should have thought you were the most likely person to answer that question. Why do you ask me?'" The;e was such an unmistakablesurprise in Ins face—such an accent of complete truth in his voice that Austen could not doubt any longer. He gave one long searching look into Cleveland's lace a look which seemed as if it would 'pierce into his very soul, then, with an odd sound, half of relief, half of despair, sank into a chair and covered his race with his hands. Cleveland watched him silently a few minutes with a sympathetic impatient face. "Come, Austen, don't be a fool! Don't you know whore she is?" he said, at last. "Why do you ask me?" "Hecause I thought sho was with you/" Even Cleveland was moved to compassion at the sight of the stricken white face which Austen raised. He Ustoned in silence, but with his heart beating with indignation, as Auslen, in a tone of resolute calmness, told the story of 'his jealousy and anger' and Tessa's tlight. TO BE CONTINUED. LOOSE'S EXTRACT A few milles from the city of London resides a gentleman and his good wife owning and tilling tifty aci;es of land. The gentleman had always had great faith in his cows paying well, but thought the hens a bill of nonsense. Thtrlady, on the other hand, concluded^ that the hons paid better thrtn the cows. Accordingly one spring she determined to keep books for one season and ascertain the respective merits of both. Sho credited j tho hens with all the eggs laid, and interesting indeed was the contrast as the time drew ni^h for receiving the cherk from the cheese factory. But it came at last ami behold the hens were ahead, and so it continued throughout the season. Ono hundred hons to three cows, and ns they had decided that it wo.ild cost about tho same to keep eacu the gentleman was forced to yield the point and admit thnt hens were most proiitable. It is not at all difficult to make hens pay • 1 per head per annum if properly cared for. The writer on one occasion made $H per head on five dark h rah ma hens after payirig all expenses.

The firtt blue book was transmitted to the Senate by Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of the treasury, in compliance with a resolution of the senate. The second blue book was sent to the house by President Jefferson, as he said in accordance with the suggestions made by him in in his last annual message. Some fourteen years elapsed before another blue book was issued, and then in the year 1816 Congress passed a law requiring the secretary of state to compile and print once in every two years "a register of all lofficers and accents, civil, military and naval, in the service of the United States." This was practically the first register of the present series, and the register has been issued every two years since that date. The period of 73 years covered by these publications has been one of almost constant growth in the executive branches of the government. Every biennial register contains more names than the preceding one, and the new one to be issued next winter, it is predicted, will not destroy the precedent. It is estimated that the new blue book will show thM there are between 15,000 and 20,000 persons in this ciby alone in the employ of the government. The complete roster will probably contain over 170,000 names of employes. This latter number includes the post-office and customs employes and the great army of men in all parts of the country who. are needed to assist in keeping in motion the machinery of the government.

Glenn, the canary bird whist- Jifcry received compliments of all, Over fifty enjoyed the evening. Keuka Lake is twenty miles long by two wide. Penn Yan is at oneextremity. Hammondsport the other. While making passage across tht lake a citizen of the former place related this story: Some years ago a friend of mine, taking his, little Bon along, went fishing on this lake. The boy was at the father's back at the stern of the boat. Soon a violent splashing accompanied by a stifled scream startled the father, who a moment later clutched the foot of his son, just disappearing in the waters of the lake. Pulling: him aboard he also landed a salmon trout five feet long, weighing forty pounds, with his teeth firmly imbedded in the boy'i face on either side of the nose. The little fellow, lying on the seat, hia body half over the siu» of the boat, was mirroring hia face in the lake. The fish sprang up, seizing him, and so lost his balance. As quickly aa possible the boy was taken home, a doctor and a photographer were called, nnd to-day a picture of the boy with the fish attached may be seen at Penn Yan. Doubting the story I was taken into the pilot house where the story was verified. The boy, now a young man, was pilot of the boat. He corroborated the story fully, showing mo the scars on hia face.—New York World. A Lazy Man's Hill. When the first settlers came to North America they found the Indians using a pestle or mortar to crush the maize which formed their chief vegetable food. In South America the natives had progressed farther and had contrived the Monjoloi which may be truly styled a lazy man's mill, for while it saves man's labor, only a very lazy man would be willing to await the results of its operations. In form it is like a huge wood hammer, balanced half way up the handle on a pivot. At the end of the handle opposite the hammer is a hollow scoop; into thia a natural stream of water is directed, and when the scoop is filled the extra weight forces it downward, when the water runs off. Thus released from the weight the hammer end returns suddenly to its former position, giving one strong blow in the receptacle made to hold the rice or corn. Thus it goes on day and night as long as thestrenm runs; a monotonous thud, a creaking groan, the sound of a splash of water, a thud, a groan, a splash, over and over, until at last the grain, having been coarsely broken, is taken out and the mortar U refilled.

W. W BARNARD. Of Course There may be some Hardware stores where they do not, but We Keep Christmas Goods. JohnVanFleet and Margaret Salmon, natives of Marsh county, New Jersey, were married there Dec. 10, 1836, End ten years later came to Michigan and'settled in the northwest corner of Hamburg township, on the farm where they have since lived, honored and jespected by all who have known them. Their friends lolt that they could not allow tbe sixty-fifth anniversary of their marriage to pass without some snita'.'le recognition of the event, so they quietly planned to visit the aged couple last Tuesday, and invited their pastor and wife to call early in the forenoon, as a sort of advance- guard, and while they were enjoying the visit, about sixty of their neighbors, including their son James A., from Oceana county, and their graudson and wife of Detroit, came in and offered then- congratulations and quietly proceeded to make themselves at home generally. The ladies had provided a generous supply of chicken pies and other eatables, and about one o'clock tbe seltinvited guests and hosts sat down to the loaded tables, and did ample justice to the occasion, after which Rev. Mr. Hicks called the company to order and in a brief address congratulated the bride and groom on their long matrimonial journey, and voiced the wishes of their many friends that they, might at least live to celebrate their diamond wedding anniversary. Mr. Chas. G. Smith made some addi- TiOEal remarks, retrospeeti^ery then all joined in singing, "God be with you till we meet again.,, The pastor then offered prayer, and the long to be remembered visit was over, and t!ie guests dispeised as quietly as they (ame. Out of respect for the feelings ot the old couple oo tangible expression of es teem in the way of suitable gifts were allowed, but the gentlemen present insisted that "Uncle John" shonld accept a Morris chair, which was provided for. Mr. and Mrs, Van Fleet are remarkably well preserved for their years, being 87 and 84 years of age. Six children have come to bless their home, of whom three survive, James A., John D., and Mary, living at home, and were all present Tuesday, and there are four grand children and one great grand child. During their whole married life they have never been separated over Sunday, and for over fifty years have been honored members ot the Methodist chuich on the Pinckney charge. They have experienced the hardships and privations incident upon pioneer life, and are now enjoying their well earned rest after years of faithful toil, and are looking toward life's golden sunset with a strong taith and buoyant hope of a blessed home "in the sweet bye and bye." • ONE WHO WAS THERE.

On the sixth of September. President McKlnley was shot by an anarchist while attending the Pan- American Exposition at Buffalo, and died la thai city on the fourteenth of that month. **Of the last seven elected Presidents, he is *"~ third who has been murdered, and the •» recital of this fact Is sufficient to jusgrave alarm among all loyal American •as. Moreover, the circumstances of this, third assassination of an American Preslit, have a peculiarly sinister significance. "". President Lincoln and President Garwere killed by assassins of types unfortunately not uncommon In history, President Aiacoln falling a victim to the terrible pas- .leteus aroused by' four years of civil war, •float President Garfield to the revengeful vanity of a disappointed office-seeker. President "meKlnley was killed by an utterly depraved - criminal belonging to that body of criminals who object to all governments, good and bad .<allke, who are agatnat any form of popular liberty if it la guaranteed by even the most «*t and literal laws,, and who are as hostile the uprrght exponent of a free people's sober will as to the tyrannical and lrresponsi- vhle despot The .President speaks In the highest terms of the personal and public virtues of Mr. Mc- Klnley. Describing the. nature of the assas- »n and the motive that Inspired it, the ige continues: Motive of t h o Assassin. "The blow was aimed not at this President, but at all Presidents at every symbol of government. The anarchist, and especially , „ tho anarchist in the United States, is merely ?? on* type of criminal, more dangerous than | *,. any other because he represents the same •depravity in a greater degree. The man who advocates anarchy directly or Indirectly, in « a y shape or fashion, or the man who apologises for anarchists and their deeds, makes himself morally accessory to murder before the fact. "The anarchist is a criminal whose perverted instincts lead him to prefer confusion and chaos to the most beneficent form of social order. His protest of concern for worklngmen Is outrageous In its impudent falaltT; for If the political institutions of this country do not afford opportunity to every honest and Intelligent son of toll, then tho door of hope is forever closed against him. 'The anarchist is everywhere not merely tho «a«my of system and progress, but the deadly foe of liberty. If ever anarchy Is triumphant Its triumph will last for but one red moment, to be succeeded for ages by the gloomy night of despotism. i Would Exclude Anarchists. ' *"1 earnestly recommend to tho Congress that in the exercise of its wise discretion it should take into consideration the coming to this country of anarchists or persons professing principles hostile to all government and Justifying the murder of those placed In authority. No matter calls more urgently for the wisest thought of the Congress. T h o Federal courts should be given ju^sdUottoa over any man who kills or attempts he fcUt tho President or any man who by the Os—tltutlon or by-law is in line of succession tor the Presidency, while the punishment for an unsuccessful attempt should be proportioned to the enormity of the offense • ogetnst our institutions. "Anarchy is a crime against the whole Stomas race; and all mankind should band against the anarchist. His crime should be -made an offense against the law of nations, *llke piracy and that form of manstealing ^kaewn as the slave trade for it is of far ttUeker infamy than either. It should be no declared by treaties among all civilized pow- Tho Trust Problem. "•'The creation of great corporate fortunes Jaas not been due to the tariff nor to any •other governmental action, but i) natural •causes in the business world,. operating in 'Other countries as they operate in our own. "It IS not true that as the rich have grown •richer the poor have grown poorer. On tho -«oatrary, never before has the average man, the wage-worker, the farmer, the small trader, been so well off as in this country an<l at the present time. There have been abuses connected with the accumulation of wealth; St ft remains true that a fortune accumujed only on condition of conferring immense incidental benefits upon others. Suceeasful enterprise, of the type which benefits All mankind, can only exist If the conditions *re such as to offer great prizes as the rewards of success. "The gaptains of industry who have driven -the railway systems across this continent, who have built up our commerce, who have •developed our manufactures, have on the whole done great good to our people. Without them the" material development of which wo are so Justly proud could never have taken place. Moreover, we should recognize tho immense importance to this material -development of leaving as unhampered oa ts compatible with the public good the strong •jnd forceful men upon whom the success gf business operations Inevitably rests. Caution Is Urged* "An additional reason for caution In dealrag with corporations is to be found in the International commercial conditions of today. The same business conditions which have produced the great aggregations of cor- . novate and individual wealth have made them vary potent factors in international commerota! competition. America has only just begun to assume that commanding position fa th* International business world which we VilttTt will more and more be hers. It is of tho utmost importance that this position -ho not jeoparded, especially at a time when 'tho overflowing abundanco of our own natural resources and the skill, business energy, • cad mechanical aptitude of our people make forotgn markets essential. Under such con- < CJtfoni It would be most unwise to cramp -or to fett* the youthful strength of our Station. "Disaster to great business enterprises can sever have its effects limited to the men at -tho top. It spreads throughout, and while it la bad for everybody, it is worst for those farthest down. The capitalist may be shorn • of his luxuries; but the wage-worker may <he deprived of even bare necessities. " "In facing new industrial conditions, tho '•hot* history of the world shows that legls- > lotion will generally be both unwise and in- ~e*Tecttve unless undertaken after calm inquiry •ssmd with sober self-restraint. Much of th* legislation directed at the trusts would have wsen exceedingly mischievous had it not also hoon entirely ineffective. In dealing with . hemreen interests, for th* government to un- «4ertak* by cruae ana ut-cousidcrod legislation to do want may turn out to be bad, would ho to incur the risk of such fer-reacbin* national disaster that it would be preferable to undertake nothing at an. "AH this is true; and yet it is also true that there are roal and grave evils, one of tho ohl*f being over-capitalisation because of its many beletjil consequences; and a resolut* and practical effort must b* mad* to correct thee* evils. Government SapervUloa, "It la no limitation upon property rights or freedom of contract to require that when men receive from government the privilege of doing business under corporate form, which frees them from individual responsibility, and enables them to call into their enterprises the .capital of the public, they shall do so upon absolutely truthful representations as to the value of the property in which the capital is to be invested. Corporations engaged in interstate commerce should be regulated if they are found to exercise s license working to the public injury. It should <he as much the aim of those who seek for social betterment to rid the business world of crimes of cunning as to rid th* entire body Silitlc of crimes of violence. Great corporaons exist only because they are created and safeguarded by our institutions and it Is therefore our right and our duty to see that they work in harmony with these institutions. '• Publicity Bemody for Trusts* ''The first essential in det* mining how to deal with the great industrial combinations is knowledge of the facts—publicity. In the Interest of the public, the government should have the right to Inspect and examine the workings of the great corporations engaged In interstate business. Publicity is the only sure remedy which we can now Invoke. What further remedies are needed in th* way of governmental regulation, or taxation, can only be determined after publicity has been obtained, by process of law. and In the course, of administration. The first requisite is knowledge, full and complete—knowledge which may be made public to the world. "Artificial bodies, such as corporations and Joint stock or other associations, depending upon any statutory law for their existence or privileges, should be subject to proper governmental supervision, and full and accurst* Information as to their operations should bo made public regularly at reasonable intervals. "The large corporations, commonly called trusts, though organised in one state, always to business in many states, often doing very tittle business in the state where they are Incorporated. There is utter lack of uniformity in the state laws about them; and as ho state has any exclusive Interest in or power over their acts, it has in practice proved impossible to get adequate regulation through state action. Therefore, In the interest of the whole people, the Nation should, without Interfering with the power of the states in the matter Itself, also assume power of supervision and regulation over all corporations doing an interstate business. Thli is especially true where the corporation derives a portion of its wealth from the existence of some monopolistic element or tendency in its business. There would be no hardship in such supervision banks are subject to it, and in their case it is now accepted as a simple matter of course.' Indeed, It Is probable that supervision of corporations by the National government need not go so far as is now the case with the supervision exercised over them by so conservative a state as Massachusetts, in order to produce excellent results. "I believe that a law can be framed which will enable the Natlenal government to exercise control along the lines above indicated; profiting by the experience gained through the passage and administration of the Interstate- Commerce Act. If. however, the judgment of the Congress Is that It lacks tho constitutional power to pass such an ace, - en a constitutional amendment should be submitted to confer the power. "There should be created a Cabinet officer, to be known as Secretary of Commerce and Industries, as provided In the bill Introduced at the last session of the Congress. It should bo his province to deal with commerce in Its a broadest sense~in~ctueUBjT_ among- m * a v , other-J-of the country BhouTd be maQT"relponslve~| things whatever concerns labor and all ma; ters affecting the great business corporations and our merchant marine. Restriction on Immigration. "With the sole exception of the farming interest, no one matter is of such vital moment to our whole people as the welfare of the wage-workers. If the farmer and the wage-worker are well off, it is absolutely certain that all others will be well off, too. It is therefore a matter for hearty congratulation that on the whole wages are higher to-day in the United States than ever before In our history, and far higher than in any other country. The standard of living is also higher than ever before. Every effort of legislator and administrator should be bent to secure the permanency, of this condition -of things and its Improvement wherever possible. Not only must our labor be protected by the tariff, but It should also be protected so far as it Is possible from the presence in this country of any laborers brought over by contract, or of those who. coming freely, yet represent a standard of living so depressed that they can undersell our men in the labor market and drag them to_a^lower | cardinal provisions of that act were that level. I regard it as necessary, with this end in view, to re-enact immediately the law excluding Chinese laborers and to strengthen It wherever necessary In order to make ite enforcement entirely effective. "Our present immigration laws are unsatisfactory. We need every honest and efficient Immigrant fitted to become an American citizen, every Immigrant who comes here to stay, who brings here a strong body, a stout heart, a good head, and a resolute purpose to do his duty well in every way and to bring up his children as law-abiding and God-fearing members of the community. But there should be a comprehensive law enact' ed with the object of working a threefold improvement over our present 6ystem. First, we should aim to exclude absolutely not only all persons who are known to be believers In anarchistic principles or members of anarchistic societies, but also all persons who are of a low moral tendency or of unsavory reputation. This means that we should require a mere thorough system of inspection abroad and a more rigid system of examination at our Immigration porta, the former being especially necessary. 'The second object of a proper immigration law ought to be to secure by a careful and not merely pcr'unctcry educational test some intelligent capacity to appreciate American Institutions and act sanely as American citizens. This would not keep put all anarchists, for many of them belong to the Intelligent criminal class. But it would to wu.U is also In point, that is, tend to decrease the sum of ignorance, GO potent in producing the envy, suspicion, malignant passion; and hatred of order, out of which anarchistic sentiment inevitably springs. Finally, all persona shoutd be 'excluded who arc below a certain standard of economic fitness to enter our Industrial field as competitors with American labor. There should be proper proof of personal capacity to earn an American living and enough money to insure a decent start under American conditions. This would stop the influx of cheap labor, and the resulting competition which gives rise to so much of bitterness in American industrial life; and it would dry up the springs of the pestilential social conditions iff our groat cities, where anarchistic organizations have thair greatest possibility of growth. Question of Reciprocity. "There is general acquiesence in our present tariff system as a,national policy. The first requisite to our prosperity is the continuity and stability of this economic policy. Nothing could be more unwise than to disturb tho business interests of the country by any general tarifl change at this time. Doubt, apprehension, uncertainty are exactly what we wish to avoid In the interest of our commercial and material well-being. Our experience In the past b a * shown that sweeping revisions of tho tariff aro apt to produce conditions closely approaching panic in th* business world. Yet it is not only possible, but eminently desirable, to combine with the stability of our. economic system a supplementary system of reciprocal benefit and obll- !;ation with other nations. Such reciprocity s an Incident and result of the firm establishment a s l preservation of our present economic policy. It was specially provided for In the present tariff law. "Our first duty Is to see that the protection granted by the tariff in every case where it is needed Is maintained, and that reciprocity be sought for so far as It can safely be done without iniury to our home Industries. Just how far this Is must be determined according to itto luU.vidual laje, t*eu?mber.ng always that sv*ry application of our tariff nor- , TT duties must never be reduce* waftew thspolat^ heartica* g m t s * t » aw»^*W^WssaV ft that win cover the difference between the labor cost here and abroad.

The phenomenal growth of our export trade emphasises the* urgency of the need > for wider markets and tor a liberal policy in dealing with foreigp nations. Whatever ii merely petty and vexatious in the way of trade* restriction* should be avoided. The customers to whom we dispose of our surplus products la* the long run, directly or indirectly, purchase those surplus products by giving us something in return. Their ability to purchase our product* should as far as possible be secured by so arranging our tariff as to enable us to take from them those products which w* can us* without harm to our own industries and labor, or th* use of which will be of marked benefit to us. "We have now reached the point in th* development of our Interests where we are not only able to supply our «own markets but to produce a constantly growing surplus for which we must find markets abroad. To secure these markets we can utilise existing duties in any case where they are no longer needed, for the purpose of protction. or in spy esse where the article 13 not produced here and the duty ts no longer necessary for revenue, £4 giving us something to offer In exchange for what we ask. The cordial relations with other nations which are so desirable will naturally be promoted by the course thus required by our own interests. "The natural line of development for a policy of reciprocity will be in connection with those of our productions which no longer require all of the support once needed *3 establish them upon a sound basis, and with those others where either because of natural or of economic causes we are beyond the reach of successful competition. "I ask the attention of the Senate to the reciprocity treaties laid before It by my predecessor. Our Xorohant Marine. "The condition of the American merchant marine is such as to call for immediate remedial action by the Congress. It is discreditable to us as a Nation that our merchant marine should be utterly insignificant in comparison to that of other nations which we overtop in other forms of business. "American shipping is under certain great disadvantages when put in competition with the shipping of foreign countries. Many of the fast foreign steamships, at a speed of fourteen knots or above, are subsidized; and all our ships, sailing vessels and steamers alike, cargo carriers of slow speed and mail carriers of high speed, have to meet the fsct that the original cost of building American ships is greater than is the case abroad: that the wages paid American officers end seamen are very much higher than those paid the officers and seamen of foreign competing countries; and that the standard of living on our ships is fsr superior to the standard of living on the ships of our commercial rivals. "Our government should take such action as will remedy these inequalities. The American merchant marine should be restored to ( the ocean. "The Act of March 14, 1900. intended unequivocally to establish gold as the standard money and to maintain at a parity therewith all forms of money medium in use with us, has been shown to be timely and judicious. The price of our government bonds In the world's market, when compared with the price of similar obligations issued by other nations, is a flattering tribute to our public credit. This condition it is eminently desliable to maintain. "In many respects the National Banking Law furnishes sufficient liberty for the proper exercise of the banking function but there seems to be need of better safeguards against the deranging influence of commercial crises and financial panics.

The Philippine Problem* "la the Philippines'our problem is larger. Th*y *r* very rich tropical islands, inhabited by^-many varying tribes, representing widely different stages of progress toward civilisation. Our earnest effort is to help these people upward along the stony and difficult path that tesds to self-government. We hope to make our administration of the islands honorable to our nation by making it of the highest benefit to the Filipinos themselves; and s i »0 earnest of what we Intend to do, we point to what we have done. Already a greater measure of material prosperity and of governmental honesty and efficiency has been attained in the Philippines than ever before in their history* "In dealing with the Philippine people w* must show both patience and strength, forbearance and etesdfast resolution. Our aim Is high. We do not desire to do for the islanders merely what has elsewhere been done for tropic peoples by even the best foreign governments. W hop* to do for them what has never before been done for any people of the* tropics—to make them fit for selfgovernment after the fashion of the really free nsttons. !bfj££fte^l4rs?ttW? fcsa hand la hand, "* lifteditogesSrTV trial or polHlcaf chaps, .wLfc.not wish to toe any old woOTrmrtft4w,powar grow up 0» this continent* .or to bq cojggeJled to heehaw ; i . . . • . - s ailltsry ptf#*r ourse'lv * peoples "To leave the islands at this time would comes as of right to the just man lean that they would fall into a welter of ] not the peace granted on terms cf h to the demands of our domestic trade and commerce. Redaction of Revenues. "The collections from duties on imports and internal taxes continue to exceed the ordinary expenditures. The utmost care should be taken not to reduce the revenues so that thre will be any possibility of a deficit; but, after providing against any such contingency, means should be adopted which will bring the revenues more nearly within the limit of our actual needs. "I call special attention to the need of strict economy in expenditures. The fact that our national needs forbid us to be niggardly in providing whatever Is actually necessary to our well-being, should make us doubly careful to husband our national resources, as each of us husbands his private resources, by scrupulous avoidance of anything like wasteful or reckless expenditure. Regulation of Railroads. In 1*87 a measure was enacted for the regulation of interstate railways, commonly known as the Interstate Commerce Act. Tho railway rates should be just and reasonable and that all shippers, localities, and commodities should be accorded equal treatment. A commission was created and endowed with what were supposed to be the necessary powers to execute the provisions of this act. "That law was largely an experiment. Experience has sb'.wn the wisdom of its purposes, but has also shown, possibly that some of its requirements are wrong, certainly that the means devised for the enforcement of its provisions are defective. "The set should be amended. The railway is a public servant. Its rates should be Just to and open to all shippers alike. The government should see to it that within its jurlsdictionthls is so and should provide a speedy,' Inexpensive, and effective remedy to that end. At the same time it must not be forgotten t\%t our railways are the arteries through wh/ch the commercial lifeblood of this nation flows. Nothing could be more foolish than the enactment of legislation which would unnecessarily interfere with the development and operation of these commercial agencies. The subject Is one of great Importance and calls for the earnest attention of the Congress. The message points out the value of the American forests and the necessity for their conservation, and urges the construction and maintenance of reservoirs and irrigating systems for the reclamation of the arid lands of the West. Of the water rights it says: "In the arid states the only right to water which should be recognised is that of use. In irrigation this right should attach to the land reclaimed and ba Inseparable therefrom. Gra&ttng perpetual water rights to others thau user*], without compensation to the public, is open to all the objections which apply to giving away perpetual franchises to the public utilities of cities. A few of the Western states have already recognized this and have incorporated in their constitutions the doctrine of perpetual state ownership of water. Development of Hawaii* "In Hawaii our aim must be to develop the territory on the traditional American lines. We do not wish a region of large cities tilled by cheap labor; we wish a healthy American community of men who themselves till 4he farms they own. All our legislation for the Islands should be shaped with this end in view; the well-being of the average homemaker must afford the true test of the healthy development of the islands. The land policy should as nearly as possible be modeled on our homestead system. "It Is a pleasure to say that It is hardly more necessary to report as to Porto Rico than as to any state or territory within our continental limits. The Island is thriving as nover before, and It Is being administered efficiently and honestly. Its people are now enjoying liberty and order under the protection of the United States, and upon this fact wo congratulate them and ourselves. Their material welfare must be as carefully and Jealously considered as th* welfare of any other portion of our country. Wo have given them the great gift of fr«e access for their products to the markets of the United States. I ask the attention of the Congress to the need of legislation concerning the public lands of Porto Rico. Progress In Cuba. "In Cubs such progress has been maAe toward putting the Independent government of the Island upon 0 firm footing tost before the present sr«ilon of the Congress closes this will be so accomplished fact, Cuba will then mean murderous anarchy. Such desertion of duty oh our part would be a crime against humanity. The character of Governor Taft and of his associates snd subordinates is a proof, If such be needed, of the sincerity of our effort to give the Islanders a constantly increasing measure of self-government, exactly as fast as they show themselves fit to exercise it. Since the civil government was established not an appointment has been made in the Islands with any reference to considerations of political Influence, or to aught else save the fitness of the man snd the needs of the service. "There mrt still troubles shead in the islands. The insurrection has become an affair of local banditti and*marauders, who deserve no higher regard than the brigands of portions of the old world. Encouragement, direct or indirect, to these insurrecto* stands on the same footing as encouragement to hostile Indians in the days when we still had Indian wars. As we will do everything in our power for the Filipino who is peaceful, we will take the sternest measures with the Filipinos who fellow the path of the Insurrecto and the ladrone. "The time hew come when there should be additional legislation for the Philippines. Nothing better can he done for the islands than to introduce industrial enterprises. Nothing would benefit' them so much as throwing them open to Industrial development. It is therefore necessary that the Congress should pass laws by which the resources of the Islands can be developed; so that franchises (for limited terms of years) can be granted to companies doing business in them, and every encouragement be given to the incoming of business men of every kind. "I call your attention ntost earnestly to the crying need of a cable to Hawaii and the Philippines, to be continued from the Philippines to points in Asia. We should not defer a day longer than necessary the construction of such a cable. It is demanded not merely for commercial but for political and military considerations. "Either the Congress should Immediately provide for the construction of a government cable, or else an arrangement should be made by which like advantages to those accruing from a government cable may be secured to the government by contract with a private cable company. Recommends Nicaragua* Canal. "No single great material work which remains to be undertaken on this continent Is of such consequence to the American people as the building of a canal across the Isthmus connecting North and Sduth America. While Its beneficial effects would perhaps be most marked upon the Pacific coast and the gulf and South Atlantic states, It would also greatly benefit other sections. It is emphatically a work which-It Is for the Interest of the entire country to begin and complete as soon as possible; it is one of those great works which only a great nation can undertake' with prospects of success, and which when done are not only permanent assets in the nation's material interests, but standing monuments to Its constructive ability. "I am glad to be able to announce to you that eur negotiations on this subject with Oreat Britain, conducted on both sides in a spirit of friendliness and mutual good will and respect, have resulted In my being able to lay before the Senate a treaty which If ratified will enable us to begin preparations for an Isthmian canal at any time, and which guarantees to this nation every right that it has ever asked in connection with the canal. In this treaty, the old Clayton-Buiwer treaty, so long recognised as Inadequate to supply the base for the construction and maintenance of a necessarily American ship canal, is abrogated. It specifically provides that the United States alone shall do the work of building and assume the responsibility of safeguarding the canal and shall regulate Its neuti f: use by all nations on terms of equality without the guaranty or interference of any outside- nation from any quarter. The signed treaty will at once be laid before the Senate, and if approved the Congress can then proceed to give effect to the advantages it secures us by providing for tho building of the canal. "The true end of every great and free people should be self-respecting peace; and this nation most earnestly dsslres sincere and cordial friendship with aJt others. Over the entire world, of recent yeera, wars between the greet civilized powers have become less and less frequent. Wars with barbarous or ami-barbarous peoples uome In an entirely different category, being merely a most regrettable but necescary international police duty which must be performed for the sake of the welfare of mankind. Peace can only be kept with certainty where both sides wish to keep it; but more aud more tho civilized peoples are realizing the wicked folly of war and are attaining that condition of just and intelligent regard far the rights of others which will la the eod, as we hope and believe, make weriaVwide peace possible. The peace conference at The Hague gave definite expression to this hope and belief and marked a stride toward their attainment. Tho Monroe Doctrine. "This same pesce conference acquiesced in our statement of the Monroe doctrine as compatible with the purposes and alms of the conference. "The Monroe doctrine should be the cardinal feature of the foreign policy of all the nations of the two Americas, as it is of the United States. The doctrine is a declaration that there must be no territorial aggranditeir »nt by any non-American power at tho expend* of any American power en American soil. It is in no wise intended ss hostile to any nation in the old world. Still l e u is it intended to give cover to any aggression by on* new world power at the expense of any other. It is simply s step, and a long step, toward assuring the universal peace of the world by securing the possibility of permanent peace on this hemisphere. "This doctrine has nothing to do with the commercial relations of any American powsr, save that it In truth allows each of them to form such a* it desires. In other words, it is realty a guaranty of the commercial independence of the Americas. We do not ask under this doctrine for any exclusive commercial dealings with any other Americas state. W* do not guarantee any state against punishment if it misconducts Itself; provided that punishment does not take the form of t h e acquisition of territory by any non-American power, "Our attitude in Cuba Is a sufficient guaranty of eur owv good faith. We hav* not th* Americas can prosper best if left to work our their own salvatichtn their own way. >owerful:'lftiew- 'fJegped* "The work of u^buUeW-th* nSvy must h* steadily continued. Whether wedeslre It m not; we must henceforth recognise th«t we> have intsrnatlonsl duties no less than International rights. Even- If our nag-were hauled down in the Philippines and Forte Rioo, even if we decided not to build the Isthmian canal, we should need *> thoroughly trained navy of adequate sine, or else he prepared definitely and for sll time 4» abandon th* idea that our nation Is among thoMjrtuo* sqns go down to th* nea Hi ships. Unless our oommeroe is always to he carried in foreign bottoms, we must have way craft to protect it. "Probably no other great nation In tho world is so anxious for peace as we are. There |s not a single civilised power which has anything whatever to fear from aggressiveness on our part. All we want w peace; and toward this end we wish to ho able to secure th* same respect for our rights in return, to insure fair treatment to us commercially, and to guarantee the safety of the American people. "Our people intend to abide by the Monro* doctrine and to insist upon it as the one sure means of securing the peace of the Western hemisphere. The .navy offers as tho only means of making our insistence upon the Monroe doctrine anything but a subject of derision to whatever nation chooses) to disregard it. We desire the peace which armed; ignominy to the craven and the weakling. "It is not possible to improvise a navy after war breaks out. The ships must ho built and the men trained long- in advance. In the late war with Spain the ships that dealt the decisive blows st Manila and Santiago had been launched from two to fourteen years, and they were able to do as they did because the men in the conning towers, the gun turrets and the engine-rooms had through long years of practice at sea learned* bow to do their duty. "It was forethought and preparation which secured us the overwhelming triumph of ISM. If we fail to show forethought ana preparation now. these may come a time when disaster will befall u s instead Of triumph; and should this tisse come, the fault will rest' primarily, net upon these whom the accident of events; puts iw supreme command at the moment, hut upon thee* who hav* failed* to prepare in advance. "There should be no cessation in the work of completing our navy. It Is unsafe and unwise not to provide this year for severs I additional battleships an* heavy armored cruisers, with auxiliary and! lighter craft In proportion; for the exact numbers and character I refer you to the report of th* Secretary of the Navy. But there ie something we> need even more than additions! ships, snd this is additional officers and! men. To provide battleships and cruisers sad then lay them up, with the expectation of leaving them unmanned until they are needed In actual war, would be worse than folly; it would be a crime against the nation. "To send any warship against a competent enemy unless those aboard It have been trained by years of actual sea service, including Incessant gunnery practice, would beto Invite not merely disaster, but the bitterest shame and humiliation. Four thousand additional seamen and one thousand additional marines should be provided; and an Increase In the officers should' be provided by making a large addition to the classes at Annapolis. ' Our Present Naval Forco. "We now have seventeen battleships- appropriated for, of which nine are complete* and have been Commissioned for- actual service. The remaining eight will, be ready in from two to four years, but It will take at least that time to recruit and train the men to fight them. It is of vast concern that wo have trained crews ready for the vessels by the tlm# they are commissioned. Good- ships and good guns are simply good weapons, and the best weapons are useless save In the hands of men who know how to fight with them. The men must be trained and drilled; under a thorough and well-planned system of progressive instruction, while the recruiting must be carried on with still greater vigor. "The naval militia forces are state organ!- atlons, snd are trained for coast service, and1 in event of war they will constitute the inner line of defense. They should receive hearty encouragement from the general government. "But in addition we should at once provide for a National Naval Reserve, organised. and trained under the direction of the Navy Department, and subject to the call of the Chief Executive whenever war becomes Imminent. It should be a real auxiliary to the naval seagoing peace establishment, and offer material to be drawn on at once for manning our ships in time of war. It should, be composed of graduates of the Naval Academy, graduates of the Naval Militia, officers and crews of coast-line steamers, longshore' schooners, fishing vessels and steam yachts, together with the coast population about such centers as life-saving stations and. lighthouses. Need for Powerful Nevoy* "The American people must either build and maintain an adequate navy or else make up their minds definitely., to acoept a secondary position in International affairs, not merely in political, but in commercial, matters. It has been well said: that there Ie no* surer way of courting national disaster than to be 'opulent, aggressive, and. unarmed.' "It is not necessary to increase our army beyond its present size at this. time. But it is necessary to keep it at the highest point. of efficiency. '"Every effort should be made- to. bring the> army to a constantly increasing state of efficiency. When on actual service no work save that directly in the line of such serv-iee should be required. The paper work In tho army, as In the navy, should be greatly reduced. What ia~ needed is proved power of command and capacity to work well In the field. Constant care is necessary to> prevent dry rot in the transportation and commissary departments. "The Congress should provide mease whereby it will be possible to have field exercises by at least a division of regulars, and it possible also a division of national guardsmen, once & year. "Only actual handling and proTidlag for men in masses while they are marching, camping, embarking, and disembarking, will It be possible to train the higher officers to perform their duties well and smoothly. MUltla Laws Obsolete, "Actioa should be taken, in reference to th* militia and to the raising ef volunteer forces. Our militia law is obsolete and worthless. The organisation and armament of the National Guard of the several states, which sre treated as militia In t*e appropriations by the Congress, should be made, identical with those provided for th* regular foroea. The obligations and duties ot the Guard tn time of war should be carefully defined, and a system established by law under which the method of procedure of raising volunteer fore** should be prescribed in advance. It is utterly impossible in the excitement and haste of impending war to do this satisfactorily If the arrangements have not been mad* long beforehand, Provision should be made for utilising in the first volunteer organisations called out the training of those citizens who have already had experience under arms, a'«A especially for the selection in advance of tho officers of any force which may be raised; for careful selection of the kind necessary is Impossible after the outbreak ef war.

Walt* House, December 3, UOL CHAPTER XII. I . The stately rooms of one of the finest houses in London were open for the reception of evening guests. Wax lights, looking innumerable when reflected from the mirrors, shed-their rays on the gilded decorations, on the fine paintings, and on the gorgeous dresses of the ladies; the enlivening strains of the band invited to the dance and the rare exotics emitted a sweet perfume. It was the West Bud residence of a famed and wealthy city merchant of lofty standing; his young wife was an earl's daughter and the admission to the house of Mr. and Mrs. Lady Adela Netherleigh was coveted by the gay world. "There's a mishap!"almost screamed a pretty looking girl. She had dropped her handkerchief and stooped for it, and her partner stooped also; in his hurry he put his foot upon her t&in, white dress, she rose at the same moment and the bottom of her skirt was torn half off. "Quite impossible that I can finish the quadrille," quoth she to htm, half in amusement, half provoked at the misfortune. "You must find another partner, and I will go and get this repaired." She went upstairs; by some neglect, the lady's maid was not in attendance, and too Impatient to ring and wait for her, down she flew to the housekeeper's parlor. She was Quite at home In the house, for she was the sister of Its mistress. She had gathered the damaged dress up in her arms, hut her white petticoat fell in rich folds around her. "Just look, what an object that stupid " And there stopped the young lady; for instead of the housekeeper and lady's maid, whom she expected to meet, nobody was in the room but a gentleman—a tall handsome man. She looked thunderstruck; and then slowly advancing and staring at him as if not believing her own eyes. "My goodness, Gerard! Well, I should just as soon have expected to meet the dead here." "How are you, Lady Frances?" ho said, holding out his hand with hesitation. "Lady Frances! I am much obliged to you for your formality. Lady Frances returns her thanks to Mr. Hope for his polite inquiries," continued she in a tone of pique, and honoring him with a swimming ceremony of courtesy. He caught her hand. "Forgive me, Fanny, but our positions are altered— at least mine us; and how did I know that you were not?" "You are an ungrateful—raven," cried she. "to croak like that After getting me to write you no end of letters and all the news about everybody, beginning 'My dear Gerard,' and ending *Your affectionate Fanny,' and being as good to you as a sister, you meet me with 'My Lady Frances!' Now, don't squeeze my hand to atoms. What on earth have you come to England for?" "I could not stop there," he returned with emotion; "I was fretting away my heartstrings. So I took my resolution and came back; guess in what way, Frances, and what to do." "How should I know? To call me 'Lady Frances,', perhaps." "As a clerk; a clerk to earn my bread. That's what I am now. Very consistent, is it not, for one in my position to address familiarly Lady Frances Chenevix?" "YouTnever spoke a grain of sense in your live, Gerard," she exclaimed, peevishly. "What do you mean?" "Mr". Netherleigh has taken me into his counting house." "Mr. Netherleigh!" she echoed in surprise. "What, with that—that " "That crime hanging over me. Speak up, Frances." "No; I was going to say that doubt. I don't believe you guilty; you know that, Gerard." "I am in his house, Frances, and I came up here tonight from the city to bring a note from his partner. I declined any of the reception rooms, not caring to meet old acquaintances, and the servants put me into this." "But you had a mountain of debts in England, Gerard, and were afraid of arrest." "I have managed that; they are going to let me square up by installments. Has the bracelet never been heard of?" "Oh, that's gone for good; melted down in a caldron, as the Colonel calls it, and the diamonds reset. It remains a mystery of the past, and is never expected to be solved." "And they will suspect me! What is the matter with your dress?" "Matter enough," answered she. letting it down, and turning round for his inspection. "I came here to get it repaired. My great booby of a partner did it for me." "Fanny, how is Alice Seaton?" "You have cause to ask for her. She is dying." "Dying!" repeated Mr. Hope in a hushed, shocked tone. "I do not mean actually dying this night, or going to die tomorrow; but she is dying by slow degrees, there is no doubt. It way be weeks oft yet; I cannot tell." "Where is'she?" "Curious to say, she is where you left her—at Lady Sarah Hope's. Alice could not bear the house after the loss of the bracelet, for she was so obstinate and foolish as to persist that the servants must suspect her even if Lady Sarah did not. She felt, and this spring Lady Sarah saw her, and was so shocked at the change in her, the extent to which she had wasted away, that she brought- her to town by main force, and we and the doctors are trying to nurse her up. It seems of no use." - "Are you also . staying at Colonel Hope's again?" "I invited myself there a week or two ago to be with Alice. It is pleasahter, too, than being at home." "I suppose the Hopes are her tonight?" "My sister is. I do not think your uncle has come yet" "Does he ever speak of me. leas resentfully?" "Not he; I think his storming over a it has only made his suspicions stronger. Not, a weak panes but ha begins again afcont that dateatabla bracelet, He i* unalterably persfuad«L thai yon took it, and nobody must dare put in a word in your defease." ' "And does your sister honor mo with the same belief?" demanded Mr. Hope bitterly. "Lady Sarah is silent on the point to me; 1 think she scarcely knows what i<y belieye. You see I tell you all freely, Gerard." CHAPTER XIII. Before another word could be apok« en Mr. Netherleigh entered. An aristocratic man, with a noble countenance. He bore a sealed note for Mr. Hope to deliver in the city. "Why, Fanny!" he exclaimed to his sister-in-law, "you here?" "Yes; look at the sight they have made me," replied she, shaking down her dress for his benefit, as she had previously done for Mr. Hope. "I am waiting for some one of the damsels to mend it for me. I suppose . Mr. Hope's presence has scared them away. Won't mamma be in a fit of rage when she sees it, for it was new tonight." Gerard Hope shook hands with Lady Frances, and, Mr. Netherleigh, who had a word of direction to give him, walked with him into the hall. As they stood there, who should enter but Colonel Hope, Gerard's uncle. He started back when he saw Gerard. . "C—a—can I believe my senses?" stuttered he. "Mr. Netherleigh, is he one of your guests?" "He is here on business," was the merchant's reply. "Pass on, Colonel." "No, sir, I will not pass oiC cried the enraged Colonel, who had not rightly caught the word business. "Or if I do pass on, it will only be to warn your guests to take care of their jewelry. "No, sir," he added, turning to his nephew, "you can come back, can you, when the proceeds of your theft is spent! You have been starring it in Calais, I hear; how long did the bracelet last you to live upon?" "Sir," answered Gerard, with a pale face, "it has been starving rather than starring. I asserted my innocence at the time, Colonel Hope, and I repeat it now." "Innocence!" ironically repeated the Colonel, turning to all sides of the hall, as if he took delight in parading the details of the unfortunate past "The trinkets were spread on- a table in Lady Sarah's own house. You came stealthily into it—after being forbidden it for another fault—went stealthily into the room, and the next minute the diamond bracelet was missing. It was owing to my confounded folly in listening to a parcel of women that I did not bring you to trial at the time; I have only once regretted not doing it, and that has been ever sinee. A little wholesome correction at the penitentiary might have made an honest man of you. Good-night, Mr. Netherleigh! If you encourage him in your house, you don't have me." Now another gentleman had entered and heard this; some servants also heard it. Colonel Hope, who firmly believed in his nephew's guilt, turned off peppery and indignant; and Gerard, giving vent to sundry unnephewlike expletives, strode after him. The Colonel made a dash into a street cab and Gerard walked towards the city. Lady Frances Chenevix, her dress right again, at least to appearance, was sitting to get her breath after a whirling waltz. Next to her sat a lady who had also been whirling. Frances did not know her. "You are quite exhausted; we kept it up too long," said the cavalier in attendance on the stranger. "What can I get for you?" 'My fan; there it is. Thank you. Nothing else." "What an old creature to dance herself down!" thought Frances. "She's 40. if she's a day." The lady opened her fan and proceeded to use it, the diamonds of her rich bracelet gleamed right in the eyes of Lady Frances Chenevix. Frances looked at it and started, she strained her eyes and looked again; she bent nearer to it and became agitated with her emotion. If her recollection did not play her false, that was the lost bracelet. She discerned her sister. Lady Adela Netherleigh. and glided up to her. "Adela, who is that lady?" she asked pointing to the stranger. "I don't know who she 1B," replied Lady Adela, carelessly. "I did not catch the name. They came with the Cadogans." "The idea of your having people in your house that you don't know!" indignantly spoke Frances, who was working herself into a fever. "Where's Sarah, do you know that?" "In the card room, glued to the whist table." Lady Sarah, however, had unglued herself, for Frances only turned from Lady Adela to encourage her. "I do believe your lost bracelet is in the room," she whispered in agitation. "I think I have seen it" "Impossible!' responded Lady Sarah Hope. ^ (To be continued.) •si * *e+. • t v .•»» ••«« »S » «« < *4./1 "If —-r»,i if!

Subscribe for the DISPATCH united even those that had voted against local option, in praise of law. All of the leading nien of the county are strongly in favor of non-license because of the improvement in business since the saloons were abolished. One of the leading bankers told him that before they got local option there was but one bank in theu town and it doing a small business. Now there are two and each one doing twice the business the former one did. This indicates that the business of the town is 4 times what it was under license. The jail record shows the following: Drunks and disorderlies confined during the license years of 1882-3-4, 116; during the local option years 1892-3-4, 47. A decrease of more than half. An effort is being made in Liv. Co. to have the local option law submitted to the people for vote next spring at the election. It is a great mystery to many as to how the vote of the men in the various parties can%e unified without the creation of a new party. It is very simple. Right here the local. option laws come in- to h«lp in the very work which the anti-saloon league advocates. The law provides tnat the ballot shall be printed separate from any party ballot, thus: Are you in favor of the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors in Livingston County? • Are you in favor of prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating 9 liquors iu Livingston County? • Now when a man goes to the polls what is to hinder him from voting his party tioket and voting this slip against the saloon? Nothing! What will happen when this takes place? What is to hinder its taking? Nothing to hinder it because it provides a perfect ground of unification by the elimination of party politics entirely from the question and appeals to every mau ou moral grounds alone in the interests of his boy and girl his wife and neighbors. When can we do it? Now, this very minute you can get at i t No waiting for party campaigns; the object and work is before you now. In the name of God stop party quarreling and take hold of this intensely practical Work. Petitions are being circulated asking the" supervisors to submit this question to the people next spring.

On one occasion, in trying an abduction case, Lord Morris, once chief justice of Ireland, addressed the jury as follows: "I am compelled to direct you to find a verdict of guilty in this 'case, but you will easily see that I think it Is a trifling thing, which I regard as quite unfit to occupy my time. It Is more valuable than yours. At any rate, it is much better paid for. Find, therefore, the prisoner guilty of abduction,, which rests, mind ye, on four points— the father was not averse, the mother was not opposed, the girl was willing and the boy was convaynient." The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the judge sentenced him to remain in the dock till the rising of the court. Hardly had he delivered sentence than, turning to the sheriff, Lord Morris said: "Let us go," and, looking at the prisoner, he called across the court, "Marry the girl at once, and God bless you both."

After the visit of Mr. Brownell who was looking the matter up Mr. Birkett was waiting lor a letter which arrived Dec. 2, part of which is published below :^ "As to the electric road project: I was very favorably impressed with he route frdm your place (Dover) to Pinckney, Mason and Lansing, and so reported. From your residence the J line could run east via of Hudson and I tbe old state r « d to Plymouth and Detroit or to t>%ter to connect with the Boland or Ha^kes-Angus line, or both ae tbere would probably be business sufncMdt^om Dexter and that territory to warrant building the four miles from H melton to Dexter, if the main line should be built via of Plymouth.

" 'Deed an* yo' kin, sab." "Well, it leVt known bore, but I'm a medical student In Baltimore. What X came down here for is a cadaver. Yon know what that la, don't you?" * ' "It's a bird, ain't r t r said John Henry thoughtfully. "'Taln't a buasard, I reckon." "No, no," said Emslie, sinking bis voice almost to a whisper. "It's a dead body. What I want is old Ephraim, and I'll giv« you $20 if you'll help me get him." "An' if we git caught?" said John Henry dubiously. "Oh, we'll be hanged, of course," said ISmsUe cheerfully. "Are you willing to take the chances for $20?" John Henry said he thought he was, "Very well, then," said Emslie. "Meet me iit 12 tonight at the colored graveyard and bring a spade with you." John Henry promised to do so, and Emslie returned to Bloodgood and the rest to report. "The black rascal!" said Bloodgood in disgust. "Didn't I tell you he'd rob the dead?" The night was without a moon, and everything favored the iniquitous proceeding. At 12 Emslie met John Henry at the designated place, which was not a cheerful one, to say the least, for an appointment "Well, you're here, I see," he said. "Have you brought a spade with you? Now show me old Ephraim's grave." John Henry led the way through a tangle of blackberry vines and creepers. His knees were beginning to knock under him. "Now dig," commanded Emslie when the other paused before a freshly made mound. "Let's get through with this business as soon as we can." | John Henry took off his coat preparatory to begiuning tus ghastly work. Before'he put his spade into the ground he looked si round l\>r nnothor reassuring gltinee nt his companion. But Ems- Wo had mysteriously disappeared.

"So we've eaught you red handwl, you scoundrel: Light a lantern, some of you, and we'll see who it is." In the glare of the match John Henry noticed that. every one wore a black half mask and carried a shotgun. He endeavored to collect his frightened wits. " 'Deed I ain't did nuffln wrong," he expostulated. "Fo' Gawd I ain't, gemmen!" "Then'what are you doing here at this hour?" "I Jus' come in ter weed ovah ole Ephum's grave!" "Yes, and brought a spade with you," said Colonel Washington. "Why, as I live, it's tbe very spade you borrowed from me over a month ago."

Nevertheless be pretended to be awakened from a sound sleep, and after awhile came down and lit the lamp in the little bare room in which he held Jcourt When the facts were made known to him, he consented to an Immediate trial, which proved to be exceedingly humorous to all except the prisoner. Colonel Washington made out a strong case for the prosecution, and then Mr. Blackburn, w^o bad been appointed to' represent John Henry's Juterests. arose. "I admit everything Colonel Washington has said, and more," he began. "Hades Is too good for John Henry. The devil couldn't keep a chicken if he was around. 1 hope you won't send him there, judge, for by so doiug you'll only iucrease the immorality of the place." The jury found tbe quaking prisoner guilty without leaving their seats, and then Justice Taintor turned to him and fcaid: "John Henry. If the law took its proper course, you would be plunged like a human doughnut in a vat of boiling oil. But we haven't any vat of boiling oil. so I'm going to give you a chance. Gentlemen, go outride and have your guns ready. As the prisoner runs blaze away at him as many times as you like, and If he gets off with his life well and good." John Henry started, and for awhile it sounded \lke bellum times. Once he fell, and a gun was placed very close to the seat of his breeches; but. oddly enough, he was upon his feet again after the discharge. He never knew that the guns were all loaded with blank cartridges, and as he got oat of gunshot It seemed to him that he was wounded in a hundred places. From that time John Henry waa an exemplary negro. aenger recently brought a not© to an English official and the latter observed soinethiDg resembling a boy's popgun hanging by the messenger's aide.' .Curiosity prompted him to ask the native what it was. and he was surprised to find that it was a machine for making fire. v- The native exhibited the apparatus and explained tbe working,- concluding with a practical demonstration. It was a tube, closed ^t one end ami fitted with a piston. t U the end of the piston was a groove or cavity, smeared with was, which was used for making thread or inflammable material adhere to It The tinder, to keep the old name, is pressed on the wax when a light is required and is not kept there always. Placing tbe wisp qf cotton on the wax, the native inserted the tightly fitting piston in the tube, then forced it along the latterby giving it a sharp blow. On withdrawing the piston the cotton was found to be alight, having been Ignited by tbe concussion with the compressed air.—Pearson's Weekly.

Few Americans are aware of the fact that the name of their continent Is due to a German scholar. In 1507 Martro. Waldseemuller, also known as Hylacomylus, of St. Die, in the Vosges, edited a book called "Cosinographiae Introductio," in which he gave a translation of Amerigo Vespucci's description of his voyages. That was just the time when Amerigo's fame filled the world, while Columbus' disgrace overshadowed hifc merit, and evidently his name had never reached the quiet village in the Vosges •when Amerigo trumpeted forth his own glory. So Hylacomylus proposed that, since the new continent was, after all, not a part of the Indies, no name would suit it better than that of his famous explorer, Amerigo., The book was read far Rnd wide, and so quickly was the proposition accepted that, when later on the true discoverer was known, the name was already rooted too deeply in general use to be abolished, and was even extended to the north part of the continent, while Hylacomylus had only meant it for the present South America.—National Geographic Magazine.

It is contrary to the British army regulations for an officer to shave ids upper lip. From time to time the war department has issued general orders expressing its disapproval or the growing disregard of the regulations, and now it is re ported in London that King Edward Is contemplating some action which will compel the officers tu return to th< old custom. The mustache has lung been regarded as a military badge. Unly one regiment ,ln the Austin-Hungarian cavalry may go smoothfaced, and this is because during the Seven Years" war recruits were so scarce that this regiment once had to go into battle when there were nothing but beardless boys in its ranks. It behaved with such gallantry that Its members remain beardless to this day. The decline of the mustache in military England is said to be due to the preference of American girls for smooth faces and the liking of English army officers for American girls, a combination which produces new fashions anu outlaws old customs. Graceful recognition of one to whom the first settlers of New England owed much, if not their very lives, has recently been made by the Rhode Island commission for marking historical sites. Over the famous Massasoit spring, in the town of Warren, a tablet was erected to the great Indian chief who owned and ruled much of what is now Massachusetts and Rhode Island when the Pilgrims were settling the country. One of the sons of Massasoit was educated at Harvard college. Another son, although he had not the advantages of a college education, succeeded in making a name for himself. He was the famous King Philip whose war is a part of colonial history. Massasoit himself was a warm friend of the white Bettlers. The tablet was unveiled by Princess Wootonekanuske, otherwise known as Charlotte L. Mitchell, a lineal descendant of Massasoit. If China is awakening, are the western nations awakening to China? Dr. Arthur H. Smith, the well-known American missionary, shows in an. interesting book that this country has not followed its missionaries and its ministers of famine relief with any deep intellectual or even commercial understanding of China. It is strange that this1 nation, at once mercantile and generous, should have made so little effort, to understand the Chinese on their own soil, and should have failed to hoed the plain statement of Li Hung-Chang that, "if Americans want, the trade of China they must eome after it." Our attitude toward •'.'hina has been like our attitude "-oward South America. American consuls have boon preaching to us for years to learn the countries to which we ship our goods. Yet no traders are so little at home as are Americana in countries across the seas. The Rev. George Clark Houghton, the rector of the Little Church Around the Corner, in New York, has' given new fame to that place of worship by announcing that no marriages will be performed there hereafter unless the names of the contracting parties are announced beforehand. Therefore couples who want to be matrimonially united on the sly will have to go elsewhere. This is a good way to prevent young people from making fools of themselves, says Boston Budget, and is in accordance with a time-honored custom in the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. TRAGEDY E N D 8 ILLbCIT LOWE OF W O M A N P A T I E N T A N D DOCTOR. INFATUATION AND SCORN Tgld Hubband She Loved the Doctor Best, Then Came Separation, An Operation, Reconciliation and Ruination. Mrs. Florence Griffith deliberately shot Dr. James A. Att ridge, of Detroit, the bullet lodging in his brain. She then turned the weapon upon herself and sent a bullet into her own head, just above the right temple. The tragedy occurred early Tuesday evening iu the comfortably furnished flat of Mrs. Griffith. What led up to the shooting, the immediate cause, can only be a matter of conjecture. No one was present except the principals. But that It was the closing chapter of a woman's illicit infatuation for a supposed affinity there is no doubt. ".My wife and 1 have been married for If years," .said James B. Griffith. husband of the woman. "We came to this city about four years ago. "1 have known Dr. Attridge about three years. 'We became acquainted in a purely professional way. The doctor was our family physician. A year ago- I had typhoid fever, and he took care of me. But he was move than our family doctor. He was my friend. He frequently called on us socially. He seemed to exercise a strange inihunco over my wife, who thought the world of him. 1 know now that the relations existed between them for over a year, but 1 did not make the discovery until last spring. "I confronted my wife with my suspicions, and she confessed. She told me that she loved the doctor more than she did me, more than anything or anybody in the world. I sufd to her that if such were her feelings we would have to part. For a time we went along, I attempting to free her from the doctor's influence over her and hoping for a reconciliation. It was useless." "On October 211 last we separated. It was an amicable separation. 1 left the apartments we had occupied, but continued to take care of her financially. I paid the rent and snw to it that she wanted for nothing. I saw her, too, once in a while, and we were by no means on bad terms. It was, as 1 said, an amicable separation. "My wife's health was poor. Two weeks ago she was removed to Harper hospital for an operation. Dr. Attridge is a member of the medical, staff of that hospital. He had charge of my wife's case in an advisory capacity. Dr. Angus McLean performed the operation. While she was at the hospital, I called on her several times. I found her in varying moods. Now she would be full of admiration for the doctor, now she would seem to tire of him and long for me and her old home life. "This latter sentiment grew so strong upon her that we became reconciled, and 1 agreed to return to her as soon as she should he ahlc to leave the hospital. "She left the hospital and was taken to her home. Her sister, Mrs, Stella Wade, of Holly, Mich., win, was here to take care of her, notified me that my wife would come homo. 1 was not to take her home. My wife insisted that Dr. Attridge should accompany her, I had made up my mind to call on her in the evening and remain with her, "When I arrived the tragedy had occurred." Mrs. Griffith arrived in her apartments early in the evening. The doctor had left. her. Site was alone with her sister in her home. The operation had left, her a hopeless invalid. Her home was ruined. STATE NEWS IN BRIEF. Edward Koester, of Riga, aged 14, ahot himself with a toy pistol and died. Mrs. Charles Barton, aged 103, the oldest resident of Ithaca, has passed away.

OVER FIVE HUNDRED DIE There Are All and Moro Than the Usual Attendant Horror* to Appa the Reccuera and Onlookers. The explosion in the Fairmont Coul Co.';, mines, Xos. 6 and 8, at Mouougah, W. Va., which dazed the people, caused the greatest disaster and loss of life in the history of American mining. The streets of Fairmont and Monongah were crowded Saturday night and thousands lined the hills in the vicinity of the wrecked works. At 9 p. m. only 2M bodies had been recovered, but scores were in sight. The deadly black-damp became more pronounced as the further recesses of the mines were approached. It was a physical impossibility to go faster than i he air, which traveled slowly on account of the men having to brattice many old entries as they worked forward. It was stated by General Manager Leo T. Makme, of the mine, that 478 actual miners were checked off as enhan ;:IKI tering the mines Friday morning. This number, it was further stated, did not include fully 100 trappers, mule drivers, pumpers and boys who are not under the check system. Should these figures be correct, the death list will be over 550 persons. The condition of the bodies thus far recovered is horrible. Many are dismembered; some are fearfully crushed and the rest are blackened and burned beyond recognition. The body of J. M. Mc- Craw, pit boss, and one of the best known mining men in West Virginia, was recovered in mine No. S. It was headless and otherwise disfigured, identification having been made by the clothing and shoes lie wore. Exterminate Head Hunters.

A great many persons in the United States have been wanting to know why it is that Chancellor Day, of Syracuse university, is so bitterly hostile to President Roosevelt. It Is now possible, for the first time, to make an authoritative statement by way of explanation of that hostility. To begin with, Day was one of Roosevelt's best friends and must ardent and outspoken admirers for many years. The pleasant relationship was broken about two years ago when the president refused to permit a nephew of Day's to be placed on the retired list of the army, at regular retired pay. Instead of doing this, the president concluded that justice demanded that the young man go to prison, where he is now completing a sentence for the offense of duplicating his pay accounts. Hence Day's spleen. A New York man who gave a beggar the price of a meal nine years ago received recently a letter inclosing a $1,000 bill in payment. Only initials were signed, so the receiver hag no idea who Rent the money. Maybe it came from the beggars' union to stimulate giving. We cannot, tell. Almost, everything is being put nn a business basis these days. To Succeed Glazier. Vernon T.

The city and date were decided upon Saturday by the Republican national committee in an exciting session and the final decision was unanimous. The convention will be held in the Coliseum, which s'eats 14,000 people. Chicagoans say the next convention will be the first real one since 1888; that, is the first in which the result will not be known in advance, and in view of the tremendous interest that will be displaved Chicago alone can handle the visitors properly and take care of the newspapers. Kansas City made a splendid fight to land the gathering, and its showing in the vote was a strong one. Denver also bid, offering $100,000 in cash, but the superior attractions of the Windy City and the facilities there for I lie handling of the news of the convention decided the matter. The original vote stood: Chicago, H2; Kansas City, 17; Denver, 4. Troops in Goldfietd. The trouble with miners in Goldj fit Id, Nev., is probably over now that : the soldiers have arrived. The town breathed a sigh of relief Saturday morning when the dnv broke without any act of violence having been committed during the night, It was feared ion all hands that in anticipation of the coming of the troops the night would be taken advantage of by the lawless to make a demonstration.

A citizens' guard had been posted throughout the town and along the water and light lines for several miles beyond the town limits. The strain was tense and few slept. The Chinks Are Deluded. There is an important feature of the Japanese side of the question which has not. been mentioned publicly. It. is the effect, in China of the agitation of the past few months. The Japanese government views with mixed feelings the coming American naval demonstration in the Pacific, not because it is doubtful of the intentions of the American government, but because it, fears the effect on the Chinese mindR. The Chinese are being imbued with the idea that. America is moving in their behalf against. Japan. News from China during the past, few months has faintly described the anti-Japanese movement, which is gathering headway in that country. The conviction is growing among all classes that Russia's successful opponent, has schemes of aggrandizement at. the expense of the flowery kingdom and the feeling has already reached dangerous proportions.

Chip T Quire, a 16-year-old girl living a t Tim'., place in the Maine woods is sold by Ler father to Pete Boldue, a half-breed. She runs away and reaches the camp of Martin Frlsbie, occupied by Martin, his wife, nephew, ilaymond Stetson, and Kuides. She tells her story and is cared for by Mrs. Frisble. Journey of Frlsble'a party into woods to visit father of Mrs. Frisble, an old hermit, who has resided in the wilderness for many years. When camp is broken Chip and Ray occupy same canoe. The party reach camp of Mra. Frlsbie's father and are welcomed by him and Cy Walker, an old friend and former townsman of the hermit. They settle down for summer's stay. Chip and Kay a r e in love, but no one realizes tWs but Cy Walker. Strange canoe marks found on lake shore in front of their cabin. Strange smoke is seen across the lake. Martin and Levi leave for settlement to get officers to arrest McGulre, who is known :>s outlaw and escaped murderer. Chip's one woods friend, Toman, an Indian, visits camp. Ray believes he sees a bear on the ridge. Chip is stolen by Pete Boldue and escapes with her in a canoe. Chip is rescued by Martin and Levi as they are returned from the settlement. Boldue escapes. Old Cy proposes to Ray that lie remain In the woods with himself a n d Amzl and trap during the winter and he concludes to do so. Others of the p a r t y return to Greenvale, taking Chip with them. Chip starts to school in Greenvale, nnd finds life unpleasant *.t Aunt Comfort's, mado so especially by Hannah. CHAPTER X I I . The streams and swamps contiguous to this lake) were well adapted for the habitat of wink, muskrat, otter, fisher, and those large fur-bearing animals, tho lyax and lucivee. - OM Cy, familiar as he was with the boorea. habits, and the manner of catching these cunning animals, soon began his trap-setting campaign: A few dozen steel traps were first set along the stream and lagoons entering the lake, and then be and Ray pushed up Heaver brook, and leaving their canoe, followed Us narrow valley in search of suitable spots to set the more elaborate deadfalls. As gum-gathering was also a part of their season's plan, they now left the swamp valley, and, ascending the spruce-clad upland, began this work. There was also another element t h a t entered into the trapping and gumgathering life,—the possible return of the half-breed. "He hain't nothin' agin us," Old Cy asserted, when the question came up. "We didn't chase him the day he stole Chip, *n' yet I s'pose he'll show up some day, 'n' mebbe do us harm." It was this fear that had led Old Cy to leave one of their canoes in a log locker, securely barred, and also to caution the hermit to remain on guard at the cabin while he and Ray were away. A canoe Is the one most vital need of a wildwood life, for the reason that the streams are the only avenues of escape and afford the only opportunities for travel. Oid Cy knew, or at. least he felt al- B o s t sure, that, the half-breed would r t t u r n in good time. He had also reasoned out his failure to do so at once, and knew that left canoeless, as he had been that tragic day, his only course must be the one he actually followed. A month had elapsed since then, with no sign of this "varmint's" return, and now Old Cy was on the watch for it. They had first visited the small t r a p s near the lake, securing a couple of mink and three muskrats, which were toft la t h e canoe. An otter was found l a OM of tho deadfalls, and taking t M s ^wKh tisom^, tooy ootoroA the spruce ' j t t a h t r 0*4 tons It o» a conspicuous I n b V T h i s too aearcti for gum began. ?>,V 4 , m m ^ ^ ^ , ^ 1 ^ d .

" T a i n t thq baff-br/jedV' ttq p u t t e r e d , with an accent' of relief, and looking about he saw a welMleflned trail leading down tho slope and thence onward toward the swamp. Some one had crossed this broad, oval, spruce-covered upland while they were not 200 rodb away from this tree, had stolen their otter and gone on into the swamp. Any freshly made human footprint found in a vast wilderness awakens curiosity; these seemed ominous. "He must 'a' seen us 'Core he did the otter," Old Cy ejaculated, "an' It's curls be didn't make himself known. Neighbors ain't over plenty, hereabout." But the sun was nearlng the treetops, the canoe was a mile away, and after one more look around, Old Cy started for it. There was no use in following this trail now, for it led into the tangled swamp, and so, skirting this until a point opposite the canoe was reached, Old Cy and Ray the a plunged into it. Twilight had begun to shadow this vale ere the canoe was reached. And here was another surprise, for the canoe was found turned half over, and on its broad oval bottom was a curious outline of black mud. The light was not good here. A fir-grown ledge shadowed the spit; but as Old Cy stooped to examine this mud-made emblem, it gradually took shape, and he saw—a skull aud cross bones! "Wal, by the Great Horn Spoon!" he exclaimed, "X never s'posed a pirate 'ud fetch in here! An' he's .swiped our muskrats and mink," he added, as he looked under the canoe, "darn him!" Then the bold bravado of it all occurred to Old Cy. The theft was doubtless made by whosoever had taken 4 .^ ^kr1 - -••• rtr ^ . %&£•: m__ '• *" ' " ^ The Two Watched In Silent Amazement. their otter, and not content with robbing them, he had added Insult. "I s'pose we'd orter be grateful he left the paddles 'n' didn't smash the canoe," Old Cy continued, turning it over. "X wonder who't can be?" One hasty look around revealed the same bootmarks in the soft earth near the stream, and then he and Hay launched their craft and started for home. "I'm goln' to foller them tracks tomorrer," Old Cy said, when they were entering the lake and a light in the cabin just across reassured him. "It may be a little resky, but I'm goin' to find out what sorter a neighbor we've sot." CHAPTER X I I I . All fellow-sojourners In the wilderness awaken keen interest, and the unbroken silence and solitude of a boundless forest make a fellow human being one we are glad to accost. A party of lumbermen wielding axes causes one to turn aside and call on them. A sportsman's camp seen on a lake shore or near a stream's bank always invites a landing to interview whoever may be there. All this interest was now felt by Old Cy and Ray, and with it an added sense of danger. No friendly hunter or trapper would thus ignore them In the woods. This piratically minded thief must have seen them, for the spruce-clad oval, perhaps half a mile in width, was comparatively free from undergrowth where they had been working. He had crossed it within fairly open sight of th«m, had found the otter hanging from a limb, had taken It, and thence on to rob their $anoe, daub it with that hideous emblem, world-wide in meaning, and then had gone on his way. Almost could Old Cy see him watching them from behind trees, skulking along when their backs were turned, a low, contemptible thief. Old Cy knew that bordering this oval ridge on its farther side was a swamp, that a stream flowed through It, and Burmising that this follow might h a r e come up or <fcow» tfcte lUoaox he loft tooir oootm proyoro* *r t t * t or three days' sojourn away from It, which meant that food, blankets and simple cooking utensils must be taken along. No halt was made to visit traps. Old Cy was trailing bigger game now; and when the point where they had left the canoe the day previous was reached, the canoe was pulled out on the stream's bank, the rifles only taken and the trailing began. He followed up the brook valley a little way, to find that only one track came down; he then circled about the canoe, until, like a hound, he found where the clearly defined trail left the swamp again. Here in the soft carpet under the spruce trttes one could follow this trail on t i e run, aud here also Old Cy found where this enemy had halted beside trees, evidently while watching them, as the tracks indicated. When the bordering swamp was reached, the trail turned in a westerly direction, skirting thus for half a mile, and here, also, evidences of skulking along were visible. Another trail was now come upon, but leading directly over the ridge, and just beyond this juncture both the trails now joined, entered the swamp, and ended at a lagoon opening out I'rora the stream. Here, also, evidences of a canoe having been hauled up Into the bog were visible. "That sneakin' pirate come up this :.-*ream," Old Cy observed to Ray, as the two stood looking at these unmistakable signs. "He left his canoe here 'n' crossed the ridge above us 'n' down to whar we left the otter 'n' on to our canoe. Then he come back the way we follered, 'u' my idee is he had his eye on us most o' the time. I callate he has been laughin' ever since at what we'd say when we found that mud daub on our canoe, durn him!" But their canoe was now a half-mile away, and for a little time Old Cy looked at the black, currentless stream and considered. Then he glanced up at the sun. "I've a notion tw£*dvhes,t fetch our canoe over herS£7he safcr'^at last, "an' follow this thfel u spell farther. We may come on to suthin'." "Won't he shoot at us?" returned Ray, more impressed by this possible danger than was Old Cy. "Wal, mebbe and mebbe not," answered the old man. "Shootin's a game two kin play at, an' we've jist ez good a right to foller the stream ez he has." But when their canoe had been carried over and launched in this lagoon, Ray's spirits rose. It was an expedition into new waters, somewhat venturesome, and for that reason it appealed to him. For two hours they paddled along this serpentine highway, and then the vaatness of this morass began to impress them. No halt for dinner had yet been made. They were both faint from need of food, and so Old Cy reached for a small wooden pail containing their sole supply of provisions. Neither was it a luxurious repast which was now eaten. A couple of hardtacks munched by each and moistened with a cup of this swamp water and a bit of dried deer meat was all, and then Old Cy lit his pipe, dipped his paddle in the stream, and once more they pushed on. Soon a low mound of hard soil rose out of the tangle just ahead, an oasis in this unvarying mud swamp, and gaping at them from amid its cover of scrub birch and cedar stood a deadfall. It faced them as they neared this small island, and with log upraised between a pen of stakes it much resembled the open mouth of a huge alligator. "Hain't been built, long," Old Cy exclaimed, after they had landed to examine it. "I've a notion it's the doin's of our pirate friend, an' he's trappin' round about this swamp. He's had good luck lately, anyhow, for he's got six o' our pelts to add to his string." From here onward signs of human presence In this swamp became more visible. Now and then an opening cut through the limbs of a lopped-over spruce was met; a spot where drift had been pushed aside to clear the stream was found at. one place; signs of a canoe having been nosed into the bog grass were seen; and here were also the same footprints they had followed. Another bit of hard bottom was reached, and here again was another deadfall. Tracks evidently made within a few days were about, here, and tied to its figure-four spindle was a freshly caught brook sucker. "The secnt's gettin' warm," Old Cy muttered, as he examined these signs of a trapper's presence, and then, mindful of the sun, he paddled on again. And now an upland growth of tall spruce was seen ahead, the banks became in evidence, and a slight current was met. One more long bend in the stream was followed, then came curving banks and large-bodied spruce. They wpr e out of the swamp. Soon a more distinctive current opposed them, a low murmur of running water came from ahead, and then a pass between two abutting ledges was entered. Here the stream eddied over sunken rocks, and pushing on, the forest seemed suddenly to vanish as they from the gloom of this short canyon, and the next moment they caught sight of a long, narrow lakelet. The sun, na>w aU&ost to t h e treetops, cast a reddish glow upon its placid surface, and so welcome a change was it from the ghostly, forbid ding swamp just left, that Old Cy halt ed their canoe at once to look out upon it. It was seeuitngiy a mile long, but quite a narrow lake. A bold, rocky shore rising in ledges laced them Just across, and extended along that side, back of these a low, green-clad mountain, to the right, and at the end of this lanelike lake a bolder, bare-topped cliff was outlined clear and distinct. The strip of water, for it was not much more, seemingly filled an oblong gorge in these mountains, only one break in them, to the. left of this bare peak; and as Old Cy urged their canoe out of the alder-choked stream, now currentless, once more, a margin line of rushes and reeds was seen to form that shore. Back of these, also, rose the low ledge they had passed. "Looks like a good hidin' spot fer a pirate," he exclaimed, glancing up and down the smiling lakelet "Thar ain't many folks likely to tackle that swamp —it took us 'most all day to cross it. I'll bet no lumberman ever tried it twice, 'n' if I wanted to git absolutely way from bein' molested, I'd locate here. I dunno whether we'd best cross 'n' make camp 'mong them ledges or go back into the woods. Guess we'd best go back 'n' take a sneak round behind the ledge. I noticed a loggin leadin' up that way 'fore we left the swamp." But now something was discovered that proved Old Cy's wisdom, for as they, charmed somewhat by the spot, yet feeling it forbidding, still glanced up and down the bold shore just across, suddenly a thin column of smoke rose from away to the right, amid the bare ledges. First a faint haze, rising in the still air, then a burst of white, until the fleecy pillar was plainly outlined as it ascended and drifted backward into the green forest. HAD TO KEEP DATE • i • " « * * * • CHAPTER XIV. Old Cy was, above all, a peaceable man, and while curiosity had led him to follow the trail of this robber and to cross this vast swamp, now that he . saw the suggestive smoke sign, he I hesitated about venturing nearer. I "I guess we'd best be keerful," he I whispered to Ray, "or we may wish we had been. I callate our pirate friend's got a hidin' spot over thar, 'n' most likely don't want callers. He may be only a queer old trapper a little short o" scruples ag'in' takin' what he finds, 'n' then a g i n he may be worse'n that. His campirf* spot's ag'in him, anyhow." But the sun was now very low; a camp site must soon be found, and scarce two minutes from the time he saw this rising column of smoke, Old Cy dipped his paddle and slowly drew back into the protecting forest. Once well out of sight, the canoe was turned and they sped back down-stream and into the swamp once more. Here he turned aside into a lagoon they had passed, and at its head they pulled their canoe out into the bog. The two gathered up their belongings, and picking their way out of the morass, reached the belt of hard bottom skirting the ridge. They were now out of sight from the lake, but still too near the stream to risk a camp-fire, and so Old Cy led the way along this belt until a more secluded niche in the r i i g e was reached, and here they began camp-making. That night was the longest ever passed by Ray, for not until near morning did he fall into a fitful slumber, and scarcely had he lost himself before Old Cy was up and watchiag for the dawn. Its first faint glow was visible when Ray's eyes opened, and without waiting for fire or breakfast, they started for the top of the ridge. From here a curious sight met their eyes, for the lake and also the ridges out of which the smoke had risen were hidden beneath a white pall of fog. Back of them also, and completely coating the immense swamp, was the same sea of vapor. It soon vanished with the rising sun, and just as the ledge across the lake outlined themselves, once more that smoke sign rose aloft. And now the two watchers could better see whence it came. Old Cy had expected to obtain sight of some hut or bark shack nestling among these rocks; but none was visible. Instead, the smoke rose out of a jagged rock, and there was not a cabin roof or sign of one anywhere. "That feller's in a' cave," he whispered to Ray, "an* the smoke's comin' out. o' a crac*k, sure's a gun!" It seemed so. and for a half-hour the two watched it in silent amazement. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

"I like a methodical man," said an uptown rounder, "but my friend whose den is opposite to the one where I loiter Is excessive in this line. "He asked me to dine with him, and I accepted. We went at it leisurely. We got down to the foot of the menu loafing all the way. As usual he was placid. We had just reached pie and dcmltasse when he asked me rather suddenly the day of the month. I had it handy. " 'And the day of the week?' he asked. And I handed him that. Then he looked at his watch. " Y o u won't mind, old man," he said, 'if I tell you that I must go.' "J told him if it was a matter of any moment I would consent, but with regret. 1 knew he was absentminded. " 'This is the day,' he continued, shoving back his glass aud using his napkin hurriedly, 'when I promised to give Blinky a good thrashing. I had forgotten it when 1 asked you to dine. You'll excuse me, old man, won't you?' "For his own sake, as well as my own pleasure, I asked him if he couldn't postpone the fistic affair until later. " 'It can't be put off,' he replied. 'I know exactly where he will be within 40 minutes, and I prefer to lick him at that place.' " 'Then,' I replied, 'I'll go with you.' "He got under headway first and was on the sidewalk before I got my top coat buttoned. Then he called a motor car and giving the chauffeur the number he told him to take a back street and let out at top speed. "On the way he talked about nearly everything except fighting. He even told me of a contemplated trip to the far east. He burned up a box of cigarettes before the car halted in front of the place in which he said the enemy had his office. "I asked if I had not better go in with him. He thanked me, but declined the offer. " 'It won't take long,' he said, 'and if might not be pleasant for a third party. You hold the car till I come out.' "As he disappeared I felt a clammy ooze gaThering on my brow, aud removed my hat. I looked at my watch every minute. I never knew time to drag as it did while I sat in that car. I will never know how long I sat there. "I remember a figure coming out of the doorway. It had changed some since it had gone in. 1 leaped out of the car and approached my friend. "He said he wasn't hurt, but I quickly saw that he had been up against it. If I ever concoct a striking transformation scene for a stage I'll put in a scene like that for a thriller. " 'Would you like to see him—the other fellow?" asked my friend. "I don't know what made me say that. I would dote on such a sight. Quicker than a wireless message he grabbed me by the arm and rushed me up the stairway to the office of the enemy. "My friend opened the door. I stuck my head through the aperture Biff! Just like that! The next thing I remembered I was in the car. My friend was holding something under my nose. "He apologized for the suggestion h«' had made and which resulted in my emerging from the situation in a worse plight than himself. No mon> methodical fracas for me, thank you." —N. Y. Sun. Took Advantage of Czar's Hobby. Peter the Great particularly delight ed in drawing teeth, and he strictly enjoined his servants to send for him when anything of that sort was to be done. One day his favorite valet de chambre seemed very melancholy; the czar asked him what was the mat ter. "Oh, your majesty," said the man, "my wife is suffering the greaiesr agony from toothache, and she obstinately refuses to have the tooth taken out." "If that is all," said Peter, "we will soon cure it; take me to her at once." When they arrived, the worn an declared that she was not suffering at all; there was nothing the matter with her. "That Is the way she talks, your majesty," said the valet; "she is suffering tortures." "Hold her head and hands," said the czar; "I will have it out in a moment." And he instantly pulled out the indicated tcoth with great dexterity, amid profuse thanks from the husband. What was Peter's indignation to discover a little later that his valet had used him as an executioner to punish his wife, who had never had an unsound tooth in her head.—San Francisco Argonaut •r 3 'A t 8 - .

The word suppleness scarcely does justice to.the new models, particularly the skirts. They must cling to the figure, and the woman who wears them must have no hips. The house and evening gown must be long, so long, Indeed, that it falls on the floor at least two inches in front and several more In the immediate back. It is so cut that it has little fullness The Popular Slight Princess Effect. at the top, and that little is laid in very flatly stitched plaits, and as it descends It widens, but. does not flare, falling in soft straight folds. Under the skirts only one petticoat of thin material is allowed in addition to the FOR UP-TO-DATE PORTIERS. 8oft Quality of Moreen the Most Effective Yet Devised. Moreen Is one of the latest fabrics to be used for portlers or heavy curtains. A soft quality must be secured, as, of course, a stiff weave of the material would hang in ungraceful lines. The moire effect is very fashionable Just now in wall hangings of all sorts, and the moreen will be found quite as effective as watered silk for this purpose. The only advantage of silk is, In fact, the softnoss of the folds. If <care is exercised in the selection of t h e proper quality, the moreen will serve equally well in this regard. To make the portieres full and rich they should be lined and even interlined. For the latter purpose a cheap canton flannel will do or any old curtain material which has been in use, provided it is very soft and not too bulky. The main thing is that it should have no unevenness whatever. The lining may be of soft silk, sateen, satin or sllkoline. The curtains may be in any shade which is harmonious with the room, but In cream, deep ivory or dull greens or blues the material is at its best. These curtains are suitable for rooms the walls of which are hung with satin or brocade or with fine satin finished paper. For drawing rooms and similarly elaborate aparlments they are entirely in place. For libraries, dining rooms, etc., rep curtains are very fashionable. They are used in all the old rep colors, dull wine color and dark green being the favorites. Usually they are trimmed with wide bands of figured material, which are set in as a border. For bedrrjoms where they can be harmoniously employed the favorite portieres are made of delicately flowered chintz, usually having a white or light tinted background, with scattered flowers and a more heavily flowered border which goes across the bottom and up the sides.

"Advice," said Uncle Eben, "gits to be so common dat whut a man needs mo' dan anything else is good alvice About what advice to 'et fclaRO." drop skirt which forma the lining, and, indeed, many of these drop linings are made of soft satin held back by elastics, allowing little or no fullness until well below the knees. The gown of a alight princes* effect is still popular, and one in rather modifled lines is shown to-day. The soft draping of the waist lends becoming Hues to the thin girl, and the model combines the new mousquetalre sleeve now so much worn. For a woman of medium slse 1; would require about 15 yards of silk, 18 inches wide, for the body of the dress, while for the drapery on the waist and sleeves it would require about three yards of double width chiffon or net. You cannot make a gown in these days with a small pattern. It is essentially a season of elaborateness and detail, both of which consume goods. A short pattern will make you a stinted dress that will look passe the first time yuu put it on. The reign of the jumper has been sung, and while we are told that the kimono sleeve will last, we welcome something that Is a relief from tho regulation cut, and one which will still give us the long-shoulder effect. Bretelles of various designs bid fair to become popular, and they have the double advantage of being fashionable and at the same time becoming. The stouter woman should cling to the eton in modified lines, while the extremely thin girl should select a loose jacket on the kimono order. It is really a great art to know just what style is becoming to your particulai figure, and this comes only from ex perience. One of the best dressed women of New York never wears any thing but a toque that is very high .on one side and falls very low on the forehead. She is a woman who has millions at her command, but says that she has tried every known style of millinery and this is the only one that becomes her, and hence she never changes just to be in fashion at the cost of hei beauty. It is a good general rule to go by. Select things that are becoming rather than those at the height of fashion, always keeping within bounds of general styles. In these days of many models this is easily accomplished, for the long graceful lines now in prevalence are generally becoming. A woman must spend only a little time and thought on the selection of that particular cut most becoming to a particular figure. DAINTY JACKET OF MUSLIN. Late Home Goer Undiriy Alarmed by 8uipicious Character. He climbed off the car out in East Cleveland the other night, or, to ba exact, the other morning, and proceeded toward his modest little home down a pretty side street. As soon us he reached the sidewalk he tried to walk along the edge and ascertain if he was still able to navigate along a straight line. "I'm th' only man that wuz in the bunch t'night that c'n walksh straight's that," he muttered to himself, with pardonable pride when he found that he could move along flrat-rate. A moment later he aaw a suspicious- looking man following him. "That fellesh goln' t' try V rob muh," he muttered. He felt in his trousers pocket and found only a crumpled two-dollar bill, but it waB all he had left after the evening's entertainment, and he didn't want to lose it. Then he reflected that probably the stranger following him wasn't thinking of robbing him at all. But to make sure that they didn't have anytrouble he crossed the street. A minute later he looked about. The man behind him had crossed over, too. Once again the man with the twodollar bill crossed the Btreet. He hated to look around for a time, lest his fears be substantiated. When he did turn his head his pursuer was not far behind him. He had crossed the street again. The man ahead clutched tightly hi^ two-dollar bill, dear to him because It was all that remained of what had been a roll the size of a blacksmith's forearm, and started to cross over once more, for he happened to think that he lived on the other side of the street anyhow, but he hadn't reached the middle of the sttreet when he looked back and noted that his pursuer was also crossing over. He stopped right there, pulled out j his two-dollar bill and watch and held them out toward the man behind him. "Here's all I've got, old man," says he, now perfectly sobered by his fright. "Take it, but lemme alone, My wife's worried about me anyway, and if I go into the house with my face bunged up I'll get thrown out." "Why, you darn fool!" grunted the other man as he brushed on by, ' I ' m the man that goes around to turn out the street lights." — Cleveland Plai' Dealer. Many New Features In Useful and Pretty Garment. A dainty jacket Is shown here; It is of white muslin spotted with green, and is trimmed with lace aud insertion. It is modeled with a yoke to which the lower part is gathered. The yoke makes a smooth foundation for The Oldest Photographer. Mr. William Hardy Kent, who died the other day in Eastbourne, in Eng lish Sussex, had the reputation of be ing the oldest photographer in the world. He died at the age of 88. Hf was of New England birth, and New Bedford was his home, until about 1846 he learned the art of photography, and in 1848 he opened a small studio in New York, where by the year 1854 he had gained a consider able fortune. He then went over to London, where he opened three pho tographic studios, one in Oxford street, one in Regent street and an Other at Knights bridge. At the time of his death he was still op erating a photograph gallery at East bourne, and he had similar studios at the seaside resorts of Brighton and Hastings, at New castle and H a r r o gate. Strict Sabbath Keeping. Prescott, the historian, possessed a quiet and quaint humor. Mine. M. S. Van de Velde gives an instance of it in "Random Recollections." Mr. Prescott was taking a foreign visitor for a walk in Boston Common one Sunday. The special object of the stroll was to see the fountain in the frog pond. When the two arrived at the spot rhey found the water shut off, "Oh," said Prescott, disconsolately, by way of apology, "I knew little boys were not allowed to play on the Sabbath, hut I did not know that fountains were not permitted to do so." the deep collar to lie over. This is trimmed round the edge with lace j headed by insertion with round lace appliques in the corners. It Is set to the jacket, under a band of insertion bound at each edge with material.

"The jam manufacturer one day wrote Mr. .lames an impudent. letter, vowing that it. was outrageous the way the James' servants were trespassing on his grounds.

Success Which Haa Followed the Adoption of Scholarship Plan. The writer has spent some 27 years on the mission field, and has either. tried or seen tried many of the usual schemes for securing the attontiou of uative Af- ^A rlcan children and winning them into the Christian life. Moral suasion is good, just, as far as it will go. In- African Mission dustrlal missions Chapel. are excellent, just so far as the mission has the cash to the bills. The best method, open to every mission, is to take the child out of the heathen home and plant it in a Christian homo, whore it soon learns to believe in the Gospel. Believing this, the child is seldom at reBt till the other members of the family are also in possession of this great happiness. For 15 years we tried the usual methods, and met with indifferent success. For the last ten years we have followed the scholarship plan, and have doubled cur output of profitable fruitago every year during that entire period. Churches in the homeland that have accomplished so much are rare indeed. We had nine members some nine years ago and we have over 1,200 now, while there is an average of more than 50,000 outside people reached per month. How is this all accomplished? The children do pretty much the whole of it. It is most interesting to found a station and watch results, which almost Immediately appear. A teacher is found—not a learned man at all; but he is good as far as the beginning of addition, and he can read hesitatingly In the Testament only; but he can preach like Niagara! Lots of noise, much volume, and here and there a good bit of truth. He is married. He is given money to sustain 15 little mission children as soon as he can secure them. In six months he has them. They are allowed all the little visits home they choose to make; and every time they go, they preach by their clothing, their quiet manners and their avoiding the purely heathen, all of which, though they speak not a word of their religion, teaches most powerfully. If they talk of their faith, as most do, they will the sooner bring brothers, sisters, couslnotf-aunts and the whole connection to the mission station. This inevitably-follows in the regular course of events.—E. H. Richards, in Christian Herald. NEW F I E L D OF WORK. Evangelists Being Sent to Great Prairie Land of Western Canada. A recent enterprise for giving evangelists to the Great Prairie Land in Western Canada, is that of Archdea con George Lloyd, who first entered the Saskatchewan country in 1903, at the time when emigration there from Canada began. Since that time a railway has helped to open the country, and more than thirty missions have been established. About a year ago Archdeacon Lloyd returned to England to secure a band of Prairie evangelists, and has now returned to his field with a numerous band of men to serve as catechists, each in charge of from one to two hundred square miles of territory, where they are to open centers of worship. Five ladies have also volunteered as deaconesses for work with women and children. A Blessed Work. About 18 months ago the missionaries of the London Missionary society commenced work among the "Kurav ers," a wild people in South India, and 61 pne of them have recently been baptized. Rev. William Robinson writes: "So far as I know, these Kuravers are the first of their tribe to be baptized In any mission. They have such tenacity of will that they are not at. all likely to revert, whatever may happen. I have to-day weon another company of Kuravers. They ask for a teacher and a school, a.»d their headman says they are dettir mined to worship tho God whom we present to them." Arabs Baptized. Uev. J. C. Young of the Scotch Presbyterian Mission in Arabia, writes ,*rom Sheikh Othman: "Last Sunday I admitted into the Christian church, through the rite of baptism, six person ;, all Arabs, one of whom was Sal«h Hassan, a man of education atul position. Our servicer are battel attended than they b a r e been for y mra and we aro much encoujojojd." CURB FOR ECZEMA DISCOVERED. Dr. J. E. Currier Telia How It Can Be> * UaOd^by tho Patients Themselves. ' ' ' ^ (From Detroit Newt.) "Ecsema, tetter, ringworm and other akin, diseases are spreading," says Dr. J. E. Currier in the Doctor's Guide, writing about a new and wonderfully successful cure for akin affections, "I apply plain pure cJtrox, dissolved in hot water, twice a day. You who know how stubborn tetter, ringworm and eczema can be, will be amazed see how soon tbls stops the itchi dries up the eruption and cans growth of new healtby skin. V ujM tell my paUeftts to get a package w pure cltrox a t the drug store and dissolve a teaspoonful In two tabrespoonfuls of hot water, as this solution must be made fresh each time and used warm. "I am having better success than ever before. A case of tetter on the hand that had run six months, cltrox cured in a week; and a young woman whose back was a mass of pustules was cured in two weeks. I could cite many others. Be careful to get the pure drug put up In small sealed packages/as the common kind sold In bulk is not fit for medical use." It will interest women to learn that this well-known drug's value for skin diseases was discovered accidentally by the doctor's wife. Served Accordingly. At a men's cafe one night a young American—a barber—fell in with an Englishman. The latter was berating the^ Yankees for doing all manner, of business in their shops and not following the better English plan of sticking to one branch. The next day he swaggered into the barber shop to be shaved. The barber gave his face an extra good soaping and left him, at the same time seating himself to read. The Englishman kept quiet for a few minutes, when, seeing his attendant reading, he blurted out: "Why don't you shave me, sir?" "You will have to go up the street for your shave," quietly replied the barber. "We only lather here." "Not for Vacation Use. It seemed to Bobby that there wa» no end to the advice and instructions his mother gave him when he was starting off with his father for a week's trip. "Now I want you to be sure yon have everything you need," she said, opening hiB bag in spite of his assurances that it held all a boy could possibly roquire. "Why, Bobbie, where is your hairbrush? You were forgetting it!" "No, mother, I wasn't forgetting it," said Bobby, looking desperate. "1 thought you said I was going on a vacation." Daily Thought.

BOTH GAINED Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts. The notion that meat is necessary for real strength and the foundation of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent as formerly. Excessive meat eaters are usually sluggish a part of the time because they are not able to fully digest their food, and the undigested portion is changed into what is practically a kind of poison that acts upon the blood and nerves, thus getting all through the system.

"Tony—my man—he tell me my money not here. He say, 'take it all out.' I say: 'I go see.'

N tho left, just past. the w e a t h t; r hen's nest, and not more than two steps from the box where they keep the cuckoo, there is the long bed where rosea bloom all the year round. And they grow like this so that Columbine m a y a 1 w a y s have one to stick in her hair, and that odd, mocking, soft-hearted cynic Pier- Columbine. r o t may cull one now and again to twiddle between his teeth. If you know the way, and the Cheshire cat will let you, you walk down the garden path, past the butterfly lime, and arrive at the neatest little cottage in Olympus. Now this is the dwelling place of the Harlequin set—Harlequin, Columbine, Clown and Pantaloon. It is one cottage in a little colony on the lower slopes of Mount Olympus (where the high gods dwell: Jupiter and the like), and is most- important because it contains the oldest inhabitants. The Clerk of the Weather lives a little higher up. The Four Queens a2id Kings live in a square Ql pagoda-like houses, and are waited upon by the Knaves. Pierrot and Pierrette live in romantic seclusion by a pool iu a tumble-down place covered with blue roses. And away behind the fields of stars where the flocks of clouds graze, there is another village where the Seven Princesses live, and the Third Son and an Ogre, and a Talking Rabbit, and all those peculiar and beautiful people who are entangled in our minds with the memories of -night nurseries, -and__the scent of our mothers who-bent over us in wonderful toilettes, and told us to go to sleep, or they'd be late for dinner. When.it gets to be about Christmas'there is a sort of aroma of excitement on the lower slopes of Olympus, and, especially in the house where Harlequin lives—a delicious sense of something exciting happening. Columbine opens the lid of the well that looks down onto the world, and there comes up a murmur of children's voices, and you can hear the quaintest things being said about the hanging up of stockings, and about Santa Glaus and the likely width of chimneys, and the running power of reindeer. And there is a tremendous rustle of colored paper, and a great run on almonds and raisins, and quite respectable citizens stand in front of shop windows gazing at dolls and dolls gaze back at them, so that the citizens go back forty years at a rush, and the rush is so great sometimes that they get tears in their eyes; for memory is quicker than motor cars, and the road it travels- is often dark and broken. So Columbine leaves the top of the well open all day and all night, and all the people in her cottage sleep with their windows open, so that the sweetly laden air comes up and gives them wonderful dreams. It does more than that. It waves the branches of the Christmas tree that grows at the bottom of the garden, near the sausage frameB, and very soon candles begin to bud on its branches. Now when the candles begin to get ripe, which happens at the same time that geese and turkeys hang in rows in shops and grow rosettes all over them, Harlequin takes an old, oaken pipe from a cupboard under the stairs, and they all sit round while he puts it to his lips and blows. As ho plays, dreams come to them of their ancient days, for Harlequin is first cousin to Mercury, and wears a black mask to hide the light of his face when he visits Columbine, who is Psyche, the Soul; the Clown is Momus, the Spirit of Laughter; and Pantaloon is Charon, who has that grim work of ferrying the souls over the Styx. There's an odd link of memories and of things held all through the centuries, but the most charming is this: Columbine Is a flower-like person, and there is a flower called Columbine, and it is BO called because it Is like four doves with outspread wings, and the French dove is colombe, and the dove is the symbol of the soul. So the world is never allowed to forget beautiful things, even if the burden of history is borne on the back of a flower. And the god-like glow and glitter of Mercury's limbs still shows in the glistening Bequlns on Harlequin's clothes, parti-colored as thoy have always been, to show how he covall ready to be lighted. They are so ready that when Pantaloon looks out of his window before making up his lace for the day he sees that the candles have burst into flame-flowers in the night. Then Columbine takes out a pipe, and she puts some magic soap into nectar and stirs it round with the bowl of the pipe until frothy suds appear. And then she blows bubbles that float up and out of the; window until they reach the Christmas tree, when they turn into great, glittering glass balls, all sorts of colors, and show pictures of the world all colored and shining. The children in the World look up and think they see Harlequin and Columbine floating down as gently as featherc, but they don't say so because their elders would only tell them it was the clouds. But it is Harlequin and Columbine, and Pantaloon end Clown follow soon after, bringing the t r e e w i t h N o w their each to his Columbine to to preparing that m l i s t this, season, easily as ,a in a breeze. his m a g i c , things must tiful n o w, must buy the Indies. And Pierrette. C h r i e t mas them. work begins, own job and hers. Clown the laughter spring up iu and ripple as barley field Harlequin to f o r common appear beauand a penny wealth of the Pantaloon to stirring up old memories in dull people, so that uncles must remember all their nephews in remembering when they were nephews themselves, and had a peculiar hunger at Christmas. Columbine"is awfully practical. Hersentiment extends from the joy of watching the making of baby-clothes to the pleasure of remembering to put nice soap in the spare rooms. It is she who sees that children get the right presents, and when they don't it is not her fault, but the fault of some stupid person in a shop. It is she who suggests the secret delight of keeping presents hidden at the bottom of the wardrobe; and it is she who suggests the secret delight of peering at children when the,y are asleep, There are Pagan Saints who find Arcadia everywhere. Pan pipes as much in the crowded city as on Mount Ida when the sun is high. And Columbine finds roses where the world sees thorns; and Harlequin finds magic in motor 'buses; and Pantaloon digs away for pleasant memories in the most unlikely places, and finds them bright and clean, and as good as new. These half-gods of mine (and yours) come down at Christmas to correct the bilious attitude All thlB, beautified by the essence of Time, like things put away In a cedar chest, comes back when Harlequin blows on his pipe that air the shepherds learnt in Greece from Pan. The next night Clown will take out another kind of pipe, a long churchwarden of white clay, and fill it with tobacco, and then as the fragrant clouds roll up into the rafters, memories come of all the great people of the Harlequinades they play down in the world, all Inspired by them, and they see the figure of Tarlaton, who was the first clown, and Invented the vary clothes they now wear, hand in hand with GriraaldS, that great clown. And they seem to see all the great Italian Harlequins, and the dainty French Columbines, and the old dandies of fifteenth-century Venice whose clothes Pantaloon wears. Do you know that elderly gentlemen rh, the World smell that magic tobacco, or something like it, and they forget their paunches, or their bald heads, and they sit and dream of the time they went to their first pantomime? * Was it •Cinderella," or "Beauty and the Beast"? Or was it that B p l e n d i d t h i n g "Mother Oooae," or that entrancing production "The yellow Dwarf"? Such things are conjured up by just that one pipe of tobacco smoked in the cottage on Olympus, and on that night a gentle breeze blows up through the well, laden with the poignant, eternal memories of childhood, «n4 the candles on Pantaloon. the Christmas tree are of the rest They c o m e s e e d s that ers in the hearts. They ence t h a t give a man instead of a the b e i n g that the busweighs more timent h a d up his stockmas Eve, and feels like to Pierrot. of the year, to sow those grow to flowstill innocent are the influraakes y o u fifty c e n t s quarter. And w h o s a y s iness of life than the senbetter hang ing on Christsee what it find nothing but a hole in it in the morning. And when it is dark these four quaint figures flit through the country, city, town and village like conspirators, Harlequin tapping doors and windows with his magic wand. "Open, open!" .he cries to the Spirit of Chrlstmaa. "Let the rich uncle reward his needy nephew, and the unforgiving father his repentant son. Mothers, forget to be jealous of your elder daughter's growing beauty. Children, forget your spite and naughtiness. Let's be old-fashioned. Let's believe in ghosts. I'll tell you ghost-stories^ storieB of yourselves when you were children and played Pirates on the stairs. And Clown says as he taps on the doors with hfi red-hot poker: "Open, open, you old grousers! And let the Spirit of Pun come into thia house. Romp a hit, and lose your twopenny dignity, for pompous stiffness makes the gods laugh." Pantaloon, taking his turn, taps with his walking- stick, and aays: "Open, open, and let in the flood of memories of the good old times! Holly and mistletoe and robins, and church bellB sounding over the snow. And hampers all packed to be sent away, and plenty to eat at home. And then C o l u m b i n e steals up to the windows, and taps them with the rose from her hair, and she whispers: "Open, open to me all you who have no children Harlequin, and no friends and no hope, and I will bo the warm, nestling tning you covet for your frozen hearts, and you shall feel my soft cheek against yours till the tears come and your heart takes life again. You shall give joy to other people's children. And if you have no friends who have children, are there not a thousand, thousand children who have no friends? Go to them, and give them all you can, and you will be rewarded almost more than you can bear, for there is a link between thoseywho suffer. Are there not some you have forgotten or neglected? This lonely man, that lonely woman whom you have left uncared for, perhaps for years. Put on your hat and your coat, and put your heart on your sleeve, so that all may know your errand."- To see her pleading before black, sombre houses where a thin light shines under a blind; to see her face pressed against the window of some big mansion where a man or a woman sits alone with hearts like stone; to see her tears as she essays to melt an aching heart is to see something so touching and beautiful that one almost wondefs" the doors and windows are not instantly opened to admit the spirit o f love she begs for so pitifully. '» "Look at yourselves, Messieurs et Mesdames Importance, and remember the funny little things you used to be when you bit at coral and bells, and wore bibs, and thought everybody in the world had enough to eat; when you hated to gGkj to bed early, and crept downstairs in your night-^J gowns to listen over the bannisters to the voices ; in the dining room; when no jam for tea was a tragedy. And when your mother's knee was the throne of justice and mercy, for you buried your : head there with her hand in your I hair, and forgot to be afraid'of the dark." Columbine has her own very partucular work, and she calls it in her mind Secret Delights. She calla it that because she delights in making up odd names for emotions, as, for instance, when she pointed out two' lovers to iffe one day in the spring, who were seated under a hedge, yellow-flushed with primroses; they were holding hands and looking at the hills beyond just as If some, wonderful thing was about to come over the hills to tell them what their feelings meant. . And the peace was so greatand the moment so held that the World seemed to have stopped breathing. antT'-something superhuman to have poured out a cup of stillness. And she called it Liquid Velvet. A Liquid Velvet moment. And I understood. It is Columbine who watches that beautiful comedy of the newly mar-j ried, who steal about their house hand-in-hand, fearful of waking the very new servants, fearful of creaking the boards as they gaze enraptured on tho very new furniture, looking with joy on the very new pots and pans in the kitchen, turning the electric lights up and down all over the place to 'see the effect in their new bedroom. And be has a dreadful brooch for her hidden where he keeps his razors; and she has knitted him a tie he will have to wear. But it is all perfectly beautiful. Someone wrote the other day that people who read are more interested, nowadays, in business than in dove, and I'm so sorry for that man. He Is more blind than I thought anybody could be, Business may be the means to an end, but Love is the beginning and the end. And it is just at this season that Love makes business: hence the shops full of gifts. Imagine a poet writing: "Cent, per cent, the moon is rising, Watch the stocks upon the bank; Rubber shares are too surprising, Speculators are surmising Who the deuce they have to thank!" No one can get a heartbeat out of that, and whatever your business man says, he knowB he gets all the good in his life out of heartbeats. So this Christmas Spirit creeps abont the world, mocked at, scorned, but alive.yet. And yon who feel these things may one night Bee this quaint quartet at work, perhaps for a second at the corner, of your street, perhaps just vanishing down the drive, or moving swiftly down a country lane. And you may aay wonderingly: "It Is a cobweb, a moth, and the branch of a tree, and the starlight makes them look like—like something I remember." • But I tell you who they are—Harlequin, Columbine, Clown and Pantaloon! And if you hear a child's laugh ring out suddenly, and it brings a new, quick emotion, one of them has conquered you! „ 0 - ,,, The spirit of Christmas doesn't cling to presents in proportion to their cost—unless y m are very rich; and if you-are very rich the voice of the jeweler and of the furrier and of the motor car maker will seem to you as wise, as the word of a happy poor man, though he were a philosopher. Simple and genuine and glad—strike these notes and the chimes will he very melodiously for you and for those whom you try to make happy. And remember, you can't feign Christmas without being caught as an Impostor, both h7 your own conscience and by the feelings of those about you. The very value of Christmas is that It puts the genuineness of everybody to tat unerring teat Ctown.

A device for holding a bag open and at the same time holding It above the ground—on a fence post, for example, has been invented by a North Dakota man. It consists of a pair of metal bars that are plvotally connected. The short ends of the bars are bent in to form spun*, like the tongs, and Bag H o l d i n g F r a m e . the long endB form a rectangular frame in which the mouth of the bag is fixed. A strong spring joins the long ends near the pivotal point When the outer ends of the bars are spread apart the inner ends spread also and can then be made to embrace a poBt. When the device is let go and the spring contracts it grips the jaws against the post and holds the apparatus in horizontal position, with the mouth of the bag open. TIME FOR UMING PASTURES Late Fall Is Best as Winter Rains Will Work It Into Soil—Spread as Soon aa Alr-SUcked. The latter part of the fall is the best time to lime the pasture, as the winter ralnB and snows will gradually work it into the soil. A medium dressing, about 40 bushels or air-slacked lime spread to the acre, is about the right quantity to use. One bushel of freshly- burnt lime, when air slacked, will make two bushels; 20 bushels of freshly burnt lime will cost six cents per bushel at trSjkiln, which is $1.20 per acre, not counting the hauling. This is an economical dressing for one. acre of grass pasture. The lime should be spread as soon as it is air-slacked. The field should be run over with a sharp iron-tooth harrow, and about ten pounds of a mixture of timothy, red top and blue grass sown to the acre. In the spring sow two pounds of red clover, one pound of white clover, and one pound of alsita cloverseed to the acre. The clover and grass will make; a rapid growth In the spring if the land is in good health. Lime sweetens land; kills out Borrel; rots up the vegetable matter; disintegrates the hard particles of clay and puts the ground in good condition for plant growth. Ground limestone is now quite large-, ly used and has some advantages over burnt lime. Being ground very flne» it may be drilled in with the seed inl any quantity. Ground limestone has a very mild action on the soil, and ia not as effective as burnt lime. It is now recommended for light lands and for land that is to be sown in alfalfa. Two to three tons is said to be the proper dressing forgone acre. Prepared lime or agricultural lime is made by adding water to caustic lime out of contact with air. By this process 56 pounds of caustic lime becomes 74 pounds of hydrate of lime. HOW TO MAKE CORN SHELLER FARMERS GOING BACK EAST Maiy Advantages Offered Worn Out Farms by Adoption of Modern Methods of Agriculture. A good many men at the present time are going east (in many instances these were farmer boys back east before they grew up and went west) and buying worn out, rocky homesteads that have been abandoned, hoping with the money and Ideas they gained in the west to make themselves wealthy on the abandoned acres near the big eastern markets. There should be a great opportunity for active young agriculturists with modern agricultural training in the old eastern states. Many farms there have been abandoned because of the depleted condition of the soil and the fact that competition with the fresh lands of the west was unprofitable on standard crops. It la Bald that at the present time nearly 2,000,000 acres of Idle farm land is lying along the boundary line between New York state and Pennsyl« vania. Surely, with the great markets at the very door of these lands, there are for the eastern farmer wonderful possibilities.

Usually these* machines are necessities but the first cost is always something of an Item. G A R D E N &»* FARM NOTCS Keen tools save time, labor and do ost efficient work. The man with the silo is not worrying over^wjnter feed. Anything that reduces the cost of maintenance increases the profit. As a general rale, potatoes should be planted on fresh gxound^each yean. A 160-acre farm with a silo wtH .produce aa much revenue as a 180-ai farm without Deep plowing increases the soil's water-holding power, also Its plant* feeding power. The corn that shells off while husk* ing can be saved if a coal shovel is used in unloading. It's a shame to let a vast amount of feed go to waste each year by not using the corn stalks. Asparagus is a hardy plant, ft does not need a winter mulch to keep it from being killed by freezing. » More alfalfa means more homegrown feed and smaller feed bills. It naturally leads to better profits. Borne people have gone so far as to claim that the corn stalks in the silo are worth as much as the ears in the crib. f> Secure an abundance of good, clean straw now, for bedding, thus insuring the'comfort of all animals during the winter months. A few gallons of paint would not be expensive^ but if it were rightly applied It would add a great deal toi the value of the place.

I suffered a great deal, especially at night, on account of 11B itching and burning. I would scratch It and of course that irritated it very much. This rash was on my face for about two years, sometimes breaking out lots worse and forming larger sore* It kept me from sleeping day or night for a couple of months. My face looked disgraceful and I was almost ashamed to be seen by my friends. "A friend asked me to try Cutlcura Soap and Cutlcura Ointment.

It is never out of order to remind people that no law can enforce itself Tbe stalnte books of most states have in them many excellent laws that are indifferent. One common fault is that while many people are anxious to have good laws passed tbey take no interest in having thoRe laws enforced, and so tbey remain « dead letter. Evil minded people are quiie willing to have good ;a w s passed if they have the assurance thai nothing _wi 11 be dene to make them effective.

Figures published by the federal butreau of education give evidence that the rewards of genius engaged in the educational field are considerably below those attainable in oth-r of the learned professions and in many industrial avocations. The highest paid head of a state-aided institution of learning is -he president of th« Uuiver-« Hlty of California, who receives $12.- OOO a year and house. The president •of Cornell university and the University of Illinois, each receive J10,- OOO a year and house, and the president of the University ot Minnesota, \ 110,000 a year -without house. Other presidents 'salaries run dowsx as low as $2,400. The beBt paid full professor •enJoyB an income ot f€,<HK) a year, and the least paid tutor straggles along on an allowance of $50. When it Is considered that there are lawyers tn the country earning from $50,000 to $100,000 a year, that eozne medical men command almost as laTge earnings, and that many engineers, presidents of manufacturing concerns and others engaged in industrial pursuits are equally weil rewarded, one may well marvel that so many men of superlative intelligence devote their liveB to pedagogy. PRESIDENT SENDS ANOTHER MESSAGE .—•___ Tells Congress About the Fiscal, Military, Insular and Judicial Affairs of the Nation, Including Panama Canal and Tolls Established. There are'almost two sides to the simple little facts of life. There is this matter oT drinking water at one's jtteals.Tt has beeli regarded as a miserable habit. The school textbooks teach it that way, and they give very impressive reasons for it. It used to be taught—drink at your meals, if you feel like it; drink all you want; it is good for you; helps digestion. Then came the opposite doctrine, never drink at your meals, and not for an hour afterward, and that Idea has prevailed and is a part of our wlso school knowledge these days. Now comes Professor Hawk of the University of Illinois who has been studying the subject for seven years, and his conclusion is that water-drinking at meals helps digestion, principally by utilizing the protein food, which is, regarded as the most important function of digestion, says the Ohio Journay. Then, fluids help digeBt the fats and throttle the bacteria that rango along the alimentary canal and keep' stirring up all sorts of tumults. So the latest information is not to let' anybody scare you about drinking water at your meals. Just drink what you want and forget about it. Scientists say that the average man eats 60 per cent, more food than he uses. This is a violation of economic law. Hence dyspepsia and kindred ills. The best digestive tonic in the world is hunger, actual, gnawing hunger. ' Let the average dyspeptie try it for a while and see how it "works. The only animal in the world 1hat eats when he is not hungry is a liog—of one kind or another. A Japanese steamship company issues with each ticket sold a coupon representing a certain seat in a lifeboat and requests the passenger to acquaint himself with tho location of the particular boat to which he is al< loted. Is there any harm in accepting a suggestion from the Orient? A new benefactor of mankind has arisen in California. He has discovered a concoction which robs roosters of their ability to crow. -A sharp ax administered with vigor just where the tall feathers merge into the comb Is also effective. The supreme cour^of Iowa has decided that tips belong to the person who receives them, not to any boss or syndicate that grabs the privileges. It would have been a better decision to brand them as bribery and illegal. A Brooklyn motor cyclist dying from cancer has been pronounced a victim of the jouncing of the machine. Hut why blame the cycle for Brooklyn's uneven pavements? Baldy, a New York monkey, examines his food to se« whether it is inhabited by germs. Science has robbed the monkey of his gastronomical pleasures. Japanese school children are taught to write with both hands. Just think what Journalists they'd have made before typewriters were invented. A railroad company is asked to pay $200,000 for the death of a chimpanzee. Must have been the missing link the biologists are looking for. 'A machine has been invented by which the blind can hear light. Now, it they only fix up another so that 'the deaf can see sound, all will be »*ppy. ^A pitcher for champagne has been dftrented by an Englishman. But few <of us drink champagne by the pitcher.

It (Seals with lineal, military, Insular mid Judicial affairs und in part la as follows: The condition of the country with reference to huslneMH could hardly be better. While the four years of the administration now drawiriK to a close have riot developed RTeut speculative expansion or a wide field of new Investment, thi; recovery and progress made from the depressing conditions following the panic of 1907 have been steady and the Improvement ha* been cleur and easily traced In the Btatlstictt. The business of the country is now on u Holid basis. Credits are not unduly extended and every phase of the situation seems in a state of preparedness for a period of unexampled prosperity. Manufacturing concern* are running at their full capacity and the demand for labor was never so constant and growing. The foreign trade of the country for this year will exceed 14,000.000,000, while the t>alance rn our favor— that of the excess of exports over imports—will exceed $500,- ¢00,000. More than half our exports are manufactures or partly manufactured material, while our exports of farm products do not show the same Increase of fie-mestle eonsuflvption. U -4« a y«ar of bumper crops; the total money value of farm products will exceed $9,500,000,000. It Is a year when tho bushel or unit price of agricultural products has gradually "fallen, and yet the total value of the entire crop is greater by over $1,000,000,000 than we have known in our history. Condition of the Treasury. The condition of the treasury Is very tintlsfactory. "Thrvr totnt 1 nterest-bt» arin*f debt is $-»«.777,770, of which $134,031,980 con- Rtlute the Panama canal loan. The mminterest- bearing debt Is $378,301.2X4.90. Including $346,671,011) of greenbacks. We have In the treasury $1.-)0.000,000 in gold coin as a reserve against the outstanding greenbacks; and in addition we have a cash balance in the treasury as a general fund of |167,152,478.99, or an Increase of $2-,975,- 562 over the general fund last year. Receipts and Expenditures. For three years the expenditures of the government have decreased under the Influence of an effort to economize. This year presents an apparent exception. The estimate by the secretary of the treasury of the ordinary receipts, exclusive of postal revenues, for the year ending June 30, 1914. indicates that they will amount to $170,000,000. The sum of the estimates of the expenditures for that same year, exclusive of Panama canal disbursements and postal disbursements payable from postal revenues Is $732,000,000, indicating a deficit of $22,000,000. For the year ending June 30, 1913. similarly estimated receipts were $667,000,000, while the total corresponding estimate of expenditures for that yeai', submitted through the secretary of the treasury to congress, amounted to $656/)00,000. This shows an Increase of $76,000,000 in' the estimates for liH4 over the total estimates of 1913. This Is due to an increase of $25,000,000 in the estimate for rivers and harbors for the next year on projects and surveys authorized by Congress; to an Increase under the new pension bill of $32,500,000; and to an increase In the estimates for expenses of the navy department of $24,000,000. The estimate for the navy department for the year 1913 included two battleships, i.'ongress- made provision fur only one.battleship, and therefore the navy department: has deemed it necessary and proper to make an estimate which Includes the first year'H expenditure for three battleships In addition to the amount required for work on the uncompleted ships now under construction. In addition to the natural tncreaae in the expenditures for the uncompleted ships, and the additional battleship estimated for, the other increases are due to the pay required for 4,000 or more additional enlisted men in the navy. and to this must be added the additional cost of construction Imposed by the change In the eight-hour law which makes It applicable to ships built In private shipyards, The president then explained at some l e n g t h the national reserve association s y s t e m recommended by the monetary commission and urged congress to examine the plan impartially from all standpoints and then to adopt some plan which will secure the benefits desired. Concerning1 the tariff he had little to nay in view of the fact that a n e w cong r e s s has been elected on a platform of tariff for revenue only. Army Reorganization. Our small army now consists of S3,809 men, excluding the 5,000 Philippine scouts. Leaving out of consideration the coast artillery force, whose position is fixed in our various seacoast defenses, and the present garrisons of our various Insular possessions, we have today within the continental United States a mobile army of only about 36,000 men. This little force must be still further drawn upon to supply the new garrisons for the great naval base which is being established at Pearl Harbor, In the Hawaiian Islands, and to protect the locks now ra.pl4.ly approaching completion at Panama. [ -fhe force* remaining In the United States are now scattered In nearly fifty posts, situated for a variety of historical reasons In twenty-four states. These posts contain only fractions of regiments, averaging less than 700 men each. In time of peace It has been our historical policy to administer these units separately by a geographical organization. In other words, our army in time of peace has never been a united organisation but merely scattered groups of companies, battalions and regiments, and the first task in time of war has been to create out of these scattered units an army fit for effective teamwork and co-operation. To the task of meeting these patent defects, the war department has been addressing Itself during the past year. A comprehensive plan of reorganization was prepared by the war college division of the general staff. This plan was thoroughly discussed last summer at a series of open conferences held by the secretary of war and attended by representatives from all branches of the army and from congress. In printed form it has been distributed to members of congress and throughout the army and the national guard, and widely through institutions of learning and elsewhere in the United States. In it, for the first time, we have a tentative ohart for future progress. The National Guard. Under existing law the national guard constitutes, after the regular army, the first line of national defense. Its organisation, discipline, training-, and equipment, under recent legislation, have been assimilated, as far as possible, to those o( the regular army, and Us practical efficiency, under the effect of this training, has very greatly increased. Our clti- ,sen soldiers under present conditions have reached a stage,of development beyond which they cannot reasonably be asked to go without further direct aa- ''vtatano* In the form of pay from the federal government. On the other hand, such 'pay from the national treasury would not . bo Justified unless it produced a proper j teulvsle&t in additional efficiency on the part of the national guard. The organized militia today cannot be ordered outside of the hmlta of the United States, and thus cannot lawfully be used for general military purposes. The officers and men are ambitious and euycr to make themselves thus available and to become an efficient national reserve of citizen soldiery. They are the only force of trained men, other than the regular army, upon which wc can rely. The so-called military pay bill, in the form agreed on between the authorities of the war department and the representative* of the national guard, In my opinion adequately meets these conditions and offers a proper return for the pay which it is proposed to give to the national guard. I believe that its enactment into law would be a very long step toward providing this nation with a first line of citizen soldiery, upon which its main reliance must depend in case of any national emergency. Plans for the organisation of the national guard into tactical divisions, on the same lines as those adopted for the regular army, are being formulated by the war college division of the general staff. Porto Rico, Mr. Taft says, continues to s h o w notable progress and he urges the senate to pass the bill g r a n t i n g the Porto Rieans American citizenship. Philippines. A bill is pending In congress, continues the message, which revolutionizes the carefully worked out scheme of government under which the Philippine islands are now governed and which proposes to render them virtua l l y rratrmomous at once and absolutely independent in eight years. Such a proposal can "only be rouTTcTeTI on the assumption that w e have now discharged our trusteeship to the Filipino people and our responsibility for them to the world, and that t h e y are now prepared for s e l f - g o v e r n m e n t as -well as national sovereignty, A thorough and unbiased knowledKe of the facts clearly shows that these a s s u m p t i o n s are absolutely with justification. As to this, I believe that there is no substantial difference of opinion a m o n g any of those who have had the responsibility of facing- Philippine problems in the administration of the islands, and I believe that no one to w h o m the future of this people is a responsible concern can countenance a policy fraught w i t h , the direst consequences to those on whose behalf it is ostensibly urged. Our true course is to ptirsue steadily and courageously the path we have thus far followed; to guide the Filipinos into self-sustaining pursuits; to continue the cultivation of sound political habits through education and political practice; to encourage the diversification of Industries, and to realize the advantages of their industrial education by conservatively approved co-operative methods, at once checking the dangers of concentrated wealth and building up a sturdy, independent citizenship. Regulation of Water Power. There are pending before congress R large number of bills proposing to grant privileges of erecting dams for the purpose of creating water power In our navigable livers. The pendency of these bills has brought out an Important defect in the existing general dam act. That act does not, in my opinion, grant sufficient power to the federal government in dealing with the construction of such dams to exact protective conditions in the interest of navigation. It does not permit the federal government, as a condition of its permit, to require that a part of the value thus created shall W applied to tho further general improvement and protection of the stream. I believe this to be one of the most Important matters of internal improvement now confronting the government. Most of the navigable rivers of this country are comparatively long and shallow. In order that they may he made fully useful for navigation there has come into vogue a method of improvement known as canalization, or the slack-water method, which consists in building a series of dams and locks, each of which will create a long pool of deep navigable water. At each of these dams there Is usually created a long ppol of deep navigable water. At each of these dams there la usually created also water power of commercial value. If the water power thus created can be made available for the further improvement of navigation In the stream, it Is manifest that the improvement will be much more quickly effected on the one hand, and on the other, that the burden on the general taxpayers of the country will be very much reduced. Private interests seeking permits to building waterpower dams in navigable streams usually urge that they thus Improve navigation, and that if they do net impair navigation they should be allowed to take for themselves the entire profits of the water-power development. Whatever they may do by way of relieving the government of the expense of improving navigation should be given due consideration, but It must be apparent that there may be a profit beyond a reasonably liberal return upon the private investment which is a potential asset of the government in carrying out a comprehensive policy of waterway development. It Is no objection to the retention and use of such an asset by the government that a comprehensive waterway policy will Include the protection and development of the other public uses of water, which cannot and should not be ignored in making and executing plans for the protection and development of navigation. It Is also equally clear that Inasmuch as the water power thus created is or may be an incident of a general scheme of waterway Improvement within the constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government, the regulation of nucli water power lies' also within that Jurisdiction. In my opinion constructive statesmanship requires that legislation should be enacted which will permit the development of navigation in these great rivers to go hand In hand with the utilization of this by-product of water power, created In the course of the same improvement, and that the general dam act should be so amended as to make this possible. I deem it highly important that the nation should adopt a consistent and harmonious treatment of these waterpower projects, which will preserve for this purpose their value to the government, whose right it is to grant the permit. Any other policy in equivalent to throwing away a most valuable national asset. The Panama Canal. During the past year the work of construction upon the canal has progressed most satisfactorily. About 87 per cent, of the execavation work has been completed, and more than 93 per cent. «of the concrete for all tho locks Is In place. In view of the great Interest which has been manifested as to some slides In the- Culebra Cut, I am glad to say that the report of Col. Ooethals should allay any apprehension on this point. It is gratifying to not* that none of the slides which occurred during this year would have Interfered with the pass*** of th* ships had the canal, la fact, been in operation, and whan the slop* pressures will have been finally adjusted and th* growth of vegetation will minimize erosion In th* banks of the cut, the slide problem will be practically solved and an ample stability- assured for the Culebra Cut. Although the .official date of the opening has been set for January 1, 1915, the canal will, In fact, from present Indications, be opened for shipping during the latter half of 1913. N o fixed date can as yet he set, but shipping interests will be advised us soon as assurances can Y>e given that vessels can pass through without unnecessary delay. Recognizing the administrative problem in the management of the canal, coni- rress in the act of August 24, 1912, has made admirable provision for executive responsibility i n the control, of the canal and the government of the Canal Zone. The problem q/ most efficient organization Is receiving Careful consideration, so that u scheme of organization and control best adapted to tho conditions of the canal may b«# formulated and put in operation an expeditiously as possible. Acting under the authority conferred on me by congress, 1 have, by executive proclamation, promulgated the following scheduel of tolls for ships passing through the canal, based upon the thorough report of Emory R. Johnson, special commissioner on traffic and tolls: 1. On merchant vessels carrying passengers or cargo. $1.20 per net vessel ton—each 100 cubic ___t--of actual capacity. 2. On vessels in nallast without passengers or cargo, 40, per cent, less than the rate of tolls for vessels with passengers or cargo. 3. Upon naval vessels, other than transports, colliers, hospital ships, and supply ships, 50 cents per displacement ton. 4. Upon army and navy transports, colliers, hospital ships, and supply ships, $1.20 per net ton, the vessels to be measused by the same rules as are employed in determining the net tonnage of mer- . chant vessels Rules for the determination of the tonnage upon which toll charges are based are now In course of preparation and will be promulgated in due season. P a n a m a Canal T r e a t y . Tlie proclamation which I have Issued In respect to the Panama Canal tolls is In accord with the J Panama Canal act passed by this congress August 24, 1912. —We—have -been advised—that the British government has prepared a protest against the act and its enforcement in so far as it relieves from the payment of tolls American ships engaged in the American coastwise trade on the ground that it violates British rights under the Hay- Pnuncefote treaty concerning the Panama Canal. When the protest is presented, it will be promptly considered and an effort made to reach a satisfactory adjustment of any differences there may be between the two governments. Promotion for Col. Goethals. As the completion of the canal grows nearer, and as the wonderful executive work of Col. Goethals becomes more conspicuous In the eyes of the country and o_ the world, It seems to me wise and proper to make provision by law for such reward to him as may be commensurate with the service that he has rendered to his country. I suggest that this reward take the form of an appointment of Col. Ooethals as a major general in the army of the United States, and that the law authorizing such appointment be accompanied with a provision permitting his designation as chief of engineers upon the retirement of the present incumbent of that offlen. Navy Department. Tho navy of the United States? is in a greater state of efficiency and is more powerful than it has been before, but In the emulation which exists b e t w e e n different countries In respect to the increase of naval and military a r m a m e n t s this condition Is not a permanent one, In view of the many improvements and Increases by foreign g o v e r n m e n t s the slightest halt on our part in respect to n e w construction t h r o w s us back and reduces us from a naval power of the first rank and places us a m o n g the nations of the ^ second rank, A year a g o c o n g r e s s refused to appropriate for more than one battleship. In this I think a g r e a t mistake of policy w a s made, and I urgently recommend that this c o n g r e s s make up ' for the m i s t a k e of the last session by appropriations authorizing the construction of three battleships, in addition to destroyers, fuel ships, and the other auxiliary v e s s e l s as shown In the building program of the general board. We are confronted by a condition in respect to the navies of the world which requires us, If we would maintain our navy a s an Insurance of peace, to a u g m e n t our naval force by at least t w o battleships a year and by buttle cruisers, gunboats', torpedo destroyers. ?.nd submarine boats in a proper prorotion. We have no desire for war. We go as far as any nation in t h e world to avoid war, but w e are a world power. Our population, our w e a l t h , our definite policies, our responsibilities in the Pacific and the Atlantic, our defense of the P a n a m a canal, together with our enormous world trade and our missionary outposts on the frontiers of civilization, require us to recognize our position as one of the foremost in the family of nations, and to clothe' o u r s e l v e s with sufficient naval power to g i v e force to our reas o n a b l e demands, and to g i v e w e i g h t to our Influence In those directions of progress that a powerful Christian nation shotfld advocate. Department of Justice. This department h a s been very active in the enforcement of the law. It has been better organized and w i t h a l a r g e r force than e v e r before in the history of the government. T h e prosec u t i o n s which h a v e been successfully concluded and w h i c h are n o w pending t e s t i f y to the effectiveness of the department work. T h e prosecution of t r u s t s under the Sherman a n t i - t r u s t l a w h a s gone on w i t h o u t restraint or diminution, and decrees similar to t h o s e entered in the Standard Oil and Tobacco cases have been entered in other suite, like the s u i t s a g a i n s t the p o w d e r trust and the bath tub trust. I a m very s t r o n g l y convinced that a steady, consistent course In this regard, w i t h a c o n t i n u i n g of Supreme court decisions upon the new p h a s e s of the trust question not already finally decided, is g o i n g to offer a solution of this much-discussed and troublesome issue in a.quiet, calm and judicial w a y , w i t h o u t any radical l e g - islation c h a n g i n g the governmental policy in regard to combinations now denounced by the Sherman anti-trust law. I h a v e already recommended a s an aid in this matter legislation which would declare u n l a w f u l certain w e l l - k n o w n phases of unfair competition In interstate trade, and I have also a d v o - cated voluntary national incorporation for the larger industrial enterprises, w i t h provision for a closer supervision by the bureau of corporations, or a board appointed for the purpose, so asto m a k e certain compliance w i t h the a n t i - t r u s t l a w on t h e one hand and to g i v e greater s e c u r i t y to the stockholders a g a i n s t possible prosecutions on the other.

WILLIAM H. TAFT. I W i t TALK PEACE IN KING'S PAtACE BALKAN PEACE CONFERENCE TO BEGIN FRIDAY, T H E THIRT E E N T H , IN ST. JAMES PALACE, LONDON. W I L L BEGIN NEGOTIATIONS IN DEFIANCE OF A L L SUPERSTITIONS. The Outlook for Lasting Peace Throughout Europe Is Considered Promising. The Balkan war situation is practically unchanged. There is no confirmation of the Constantinople dispatches that Greece has affixed a belated signature to the Baghtche protocol for an armistice. As far as can be learned, Greece still refused to join the truce agreement. The other Balkan states and Turkey are continuing their preparations for the peace conference which, in apparent defiance of all superstition, will begin in London on Friday, Dec. 13. Athens dispatches give assurance that Greece will participate in the negotiations^ With peace of some kind, no matter how costly, assured by the protocol, it is agreed that Turkey__has turned her _atten.tiQ.n_ _to a p o l i c y o f diplomacy that will sow the seeds of dissention among the Balkan allies, in order that Turkey might conclude as favorable a bargain as possible. Diplomatists and war experts credit to Turkish mendacity all of the little disquieting rumors from eastern Europe, reports for which no foundation in fact can be discovered. The report that the Greeks had signed a separate and more advantageous armistice with Turkey; that Roumania would insist on representation in the London conference, and a part in the division in the spoils; that the Greeks would hold aloof from the negotiations; that Servia would persist in her defiance of Austria- Hungary, and various other rumors of the same kind were attributed the porte's crafty efforts to stir up trouble. With all of the Balkan belligerents appointing their peace plenipotentiaries and all of the six powers accepting the proposal for the ambassadorial conference, the outlook for lasting peace throughout Europe Is considered promising. 500 Die of Cholera. Cholera is causing great havoc in the native quarters of the Turkish capital. It is officially admitted that over 1,000 cases have occurred during the paBt 20 days and that half of them have been fatal. ThiB total, however, is believed to be much below Ihe real figures. The prefect In a proclamation Issued refers to the great proportions of the epidemic and warns the public that failure on their part to notify cases of cholera to the authorities will be punished by fine and imprisonment.

Warren Shepard, of Belding, Mich., will get $1,200 in a lump from Uncle Sam as back pension. He will also receive $12 a month. Nearly 1,000 children will be presented with shoes at Chirstmas through the beneficence of the Grand Rapids lodge of Elks. The order will j spend $1,000. West Side Business association of Saginaw adopted a resolution urging the state legislature to take action to insure Michigan being represented at the Pan-American exposition in San FranclBco in 1915. The Michigan crop report just issued shows that the condition of wheat is good. The condition as compared with an average per cent is 90 in the southern counties; 88 in the central counties and 97 in the upper peninsula. Mr. and Mrs. Gustave Buschke, of Saginaw, are the parents of twin daughters, who will celebrate their birthdays on different dates. One daughter was born shortly before midnight Friday and the other early Saturday morning.

What little, of his face showed, was sunburned to what, in the dim light, seemed the color of ripe russet apples. Hia eyes were nearly indiscernible, deep set, under bushy red brows. "If you had shown the least bit of humanity to brother men in distress," I responded. In a half jocular vein, "I'd probably never thought of this being your place, and you being you; and the Incident of the morning might have been forgotten." I thought I heard his teeth grit together in his effort to suppress a rising rage. I certainly saw his hands clench; and then, with an assumption of Indifference, ho took a final puff at his cigar and tossed it, sparkling, among the weeds of his lawn. It was evident to me, now, that in spite of the nonchalance he affected, my reference to the Chinaman's poaching, and his presence at Cragholt, had aroused his Interest, and so hoping to draw him out, I continued: "Your man told the lodge-keeper that you sent him over to borrow a rifle." "You don't mean to, tell me you'd believe a Chinaman, do you?" he returned. **It wasn't for me to believe or disbelieve. The lodge-keeper believed him." "And so he borrowed a rifle, and then with one of Cameron's own Instruments of destruction proceeded to destroy Cameron's game? Is that It? What did he shoot? A deer or one of those starved-looking white dogs that Cameron has following him about?" Apparently Murphy knew much more of my. friend than my friend knew of Murphy. "Neither, I fancy. In fact, I'm no/ sure just what he did shoot in the way of game. But he seems to have Indulged in a hit of target practice. He found a piece of an old portrait, tacked it to a tree, and shot holes in i t Rather silly, eh? Foolish for him to chance getting into trouble for child's play of that tort" "How do you know that?" he growled, with an Inadvertent dropping of hia mask. There was no mistaking, now, that I had made captive his attention. "I taw the target," I answered, •Imply. "That's like saying, 1 caught a twelve-pound bass. Here's the hook and line to prove i t ' " "X have a scale of the bass." -A what?" "Something your Chinaman dropped besjde the tree." Phlegmatic though he was, something very like a start followed upon my words. Then, as if to cover the movement, he shrugged his shoulders, and chuckled ponderously. - H i t viflUhg card, I suppose." "Nearly as good," I supplied, "the bowl of his opium pipe." At that moment Jerry cam* %round the oerner of the house and stopped abruptly, stupefied by suiferise; for the open mouth of the giant issued a rosr of hats laughter, reverberated in weird discordthrough the night silences, on bally idiot!" he cried, his gufeoded.

For the time being my consideration of Cameron and his strange problem was suspended. Now and then the subject recurred to me, dragged into the mental light on the train of Evelyn Grayson; but almost immediately it was buried beneath a question of editorial policy or a debate regarding a contract for white paper at an extortionate increase in price. When, however, my business day was ended, and I had boarded the train for Greenwich, the whole involved enigma spread itself again 4>efor* m«r demanding attention. And in the midst of it, dominating it, stretching his great Bhadow over it to the farthest limit, appeared that frowsy red giant. Murphy, a mystery within a mystery; for, though he seemed to pervade it, there was no head, as I had already discerned it p o j n t ~ a t ' w h i c h ' l " c o u W ^dScover "him quite touching it. - In vain I tried to detect a real qonnection. I started with the letters. They bore no single characteristic mark of this uncouth creature. As an artist he might have devised the curious silhouette signature, but there was something about that—some cunning, inventive subtlety—which I could not reconcile with the ogre I had played upon, stung to anger and aroused to curiosity. That he could either have conceived or executed the ruin of the portrait I did not believe possible. The conception, like the letters and the signature, bore evidence of a craftiness too fine for such as he; and to fancy him, mammoth that he was, stealing unobserved into Cameron's stury, was to fancy the Incredible. And so, though the impression of intimate relationship "persisted, I could find no point of cpntact, closer or more definite than through his servant's rifle practice, which after all might have been quite without motive, There was little, therefore, in the line of reason, to convict Murphy of any knowledge of the matters which had so disturbed us. And yet, as I have said, I felt intuitively that he possessed an Intimate acquaintance with the whore affair. At the Greenwich station, \ found my touring car waiting; my mother in the tonneau. My chauffeur touched his cap as I approached. " "You may drive, Francois," I said, and I took the place at my mother's side. "You look tired, Philip," she announced when I had kiBsed her. "Was it very warm in the city?" Her eyes were ever quick to note infinitesimal changes in my appearance of wellbeing. "Not uncomfortable," I answered, indulgently. "I had a very busy day, though. But I'm not the less fit because of it." "We have had some little excitement here," she hastened, eager to give me the news. "* "Old Romney called you up on the telephone about noon. I happened to answer it, myself, and when I told him you were In New York, and would not be back until six, it just seemed he couldn't wait to unburden himself. 'Won't you please tell him, Mrs. Clyde,' he said, 'that Mr. Murphy's Chinaman was found at daybreak this morning, lying dead, just outside Murphy's back door?'" "Found dead'." I cried, in amasement. "That is what he said. Then he added that the poor fellow's head bad been crushed with some heavy Instrument, and that Mr. Murphy had been arrested on suspicion and was In the Cos Cob lockup." For a full minute, I think, I sat in silent amase. Then theories and con* jectures In infinite variety gave chase, one after the other, through my excited brain. But it was more than ever difficult, I found, to reach anything like a satisfactory conclusion concerning th"e position the now lifeless Celestial and his accused mas* ter held in the chain of mysteries I wished so much to solve. That they were both of them more or less Important Huks, however, I had small doubt. "Did you know Mr. Murphy?" my mother asked. And all at once I realised that her question was a repetition. In my absorption I bad not heeded the original inquiry. "Nobody knows him," 1 answered, unconsciously echoing the words voiced by the man in the catboat on the previous night. . "Nobody knows him. But I've met him in a rather casual way." CHAPTER V I . Nell Gwyrms's Mirror. With the approach of the twentyfirst of the month, which Is to say the seventh day following Camamf a tbm aa*f sat tdace for jam ta buy gas-1 receipt of the second letter, I ob- •3 otana, «aa mm esr f apeot at my oflfcevf fmNaw^TwtVbtjay wttk the hundred 4*a*» lb* m to tft* maklaf of a served in him a growing nervous rest- H statu, which with praiseworthy effort la waa •fricjaauy striving to ova* Of as? natt to the rad giant and the tragedy which followed it, he was, of course, informed; as he had been of the incident in the wood, Including the finding of the bullet pierced piece of canvas. Everything, save only that Evelyn was the discoverer of the portrait remnant— which I thought best under the circumstances to keep secret—was told to him in detail, and with all the circumstantiality necessary to an intelligent discussion of even the minutest point. My description of Murphy elicited from him a recollection. He remembered having seen the man once. It was on the Fourth of July. Evelyn and Mrs. Lancaster, Cameron's house- [ keeper, had- accompanied. Gamej-on ip what is called "The Port of Missing Men," a resort for motorists, on the summit of Titlcus mountain. They had lunched there and were returning by a route which took them over a succession of execrable roads, but through some of the most glorious seenery in the whole state of- Connecticut. For a while they had been following a stream, willow-girt, that went babbling down over a rocky bed which at Intervals broke the waters into a series of falls and cascades. At the foot of one of these they had stopped the car and alighted for a better view, and so had come upon the unexpected. Seated upon a great bowlder, his easel planted between the stones of the stream's shallows, was a redheaded, red-bearded Colossus, In a soiled suit of khaki and a monstrous straw hat such as is worn by harvesting farmers. Cameron told me that all three of them made bold to peep over the painter's shoulder at his work, and then, though it was of the most mediocre quality, to shower him with laudatory and congratulatory phrases. "I can fancy how he thanked you," I broke in, smiling. "I suppose he said something very rude." "He said nothing at all. He simply stopped painting, and turning, fixed his eyes upon me. It was as If he saw no other one of us. He seemed to be making a careful appraisement of my every feature. After a moment It grew embarrassing, and though I did not resent it—feeling rather that we, ourselves-had been In the wrong—I very speedily withdrew. To my surprise he rose from his stone seat; and, palette and brush In hand, followed us up the little acclivity to the road, watching in silence,>until we got back Into our Car, and wheeled away." "&)id you gather from his inspection that he recognized you, or thought he recognized you?" I asked. "I gathered only that he meant to be insufferably rude," was Cameron's answer. "And you have never seen him since?" "Never." "He has evidently seen you. He spoke of, the Russian wolf-hounds that go about with you." Cameron made no response. "Well," I added, In a tone meant to be reassuring, "I think we need have little fear of a continuance of this singular method of annoyance. Though we can't trace It directly to Murphy and hia unfortunate. Mongolian, I thoroughly believe that one or (he other was responsible, With the Chinaman dead and Murphy in jail, the persecution will cease, The threat contained in the second letter will never be executed. See if I'm not right!" My hope of putting Cameron at ease, however, was not rewarded. He continued to exhibit tigna of an almost constant apprehension. There was, indeed, a sympathy-stirring pathos about the nervous disquiet of this man, usually so impenetrably self-contained. And at moments, in spite of me, a suspicion gripped and held that he had not been entirely frank; that somewhere in hia past (here was something unrevealed which might serve as a clue, if not an explanation, to the present But these doubts of him were always transitory. • The twenty-first of September fell that year on Monday.' My office demanded my presence, but I arranged affairs as well as possible by telephone and devoted the entire day to Cameron. When I told him 1 meant to do' this he protested, pretending that he was quite without foreboding; while the unconscious tapping of his foot on the rug, even as he spoke, belted his words. We spent the better part of the day golfing over the Apawamla links at Rye, lunching at the club house between rounds, for as a specific for nerves I have ever found that game of rare benefit. In the present in a&ance it more than fulfilled my expectations. Camerom apparently at least, forgot everything save bis o> •Ira to out-drive, out-approach, and out-put me. And when it was over, and with - sharpened appetites wa drove back to Cragbolt for dinner, he appeared stimulated by a new-found The day bad pasted without untoward event, and I felt sure that my 'riend was gradually coming around >o my way of thinking. Neither of us mentioned the subject, but it must have recurred to him, at intervals, as it did to me. And as the hours went by without a sign, the conviction grew that Murphy, with hands tied, was fretting over the coup he'was deterred from compassing. Mrs. Lancaster, whom I have mentioned merely as Cameron's housekeeper, but who was, in addition, a distant kinswoman and acted as a sort of duenna to Evelyn, dined with us that evening, and our little partie carree seemed to me morq than usually merry, owing doubtless to the relaxation .of tho__ strain which both Cameron and I had been under for the past week. It gratified me to see my host so unfeignedly cheerful. I remember how he laughed over Mrs. Lancaster's recital of an incident of the morning. "I had no idea," she said, "that Andrew," referring torthe kennel maBter, "was married. He astonished me when he told me he had a wife and three children. And when I told him he did not look like a married man he seemed rather pleased than otherwise." "It is odd," Cameron returned, "but It seems always to flatter a husband 'o tell him he doesn't look it." And then he laughed as though he had no care on earth. After dinner we had the usual music, and Evelyn sang again that lyric of Baudelaire's, this time in the original French. But the melody brought back to me in vivid vision our chance meeting In the woods and all its train of circumstances. When I had finished applauding, Cameron turned to me. "Do you like Baudelaire?" "I like bis art," I answered, "and his frank artificiality." "He appeals to me," Cameron confessed, "decadent though he is. I have 'read everything he ever wrote, I hink, prose and verse. Did you ever see my copy of his 'Fleurs du Mai'? The casket is worthy of its contents. It is the most exquisitely bound little volume I ever saw. Come, I'll show It to you." I excused myself to Mrs. Lancaster, | an'd~wlth pretended formality bent over Evelyn's hand, brushing it with my lips. "Won't you be back?" she whispered. "I hope so," was my answer. "But I can't promise." "Gh, what a trial it is to have a selfish uncle!" she murmured as I went. Cameron led me through the library, across, the hall, and thence Into his study, where he dove Into a miniature book rack reserved for his favorites. After a moment of fruitless search he said: "It isn't here. How stupid! I took It ifpstairs a week ago, I remember It is in my dressing room. Do you mind coming up?" Did I mind coming up? How glad I was to see him Interested! He was more like the old Cameron than he had been at any lime in the past seven days. My golf prescription had proved even more efficacious than I had dared hope. At the risk of being tedious I must describe Cameron's dressing room. It was not large—probably 20 feet square—with three doors; one on each of the three sides. That which admitted from the passageway faced that which opened into the bath room On the left, the third door connected with Cameron's bedchamber. On the right were two windows, giving upon an outside balcony. Between them was a fire-place. To the left of the bath room door w»s the entrance to a huge closet, guarded by a heavy curtain of old rose velvet. To the right, was a stationary wasb-stand, and above it a rectangular mirror, probably ten Inches wide and a foot leng, and very curiously framed. Across from this, against the wall which divided the room from the passage, was an enormous chiffonier, or chest of drawers. In the room's center was a round table, on which rested a reading lamp. Between the table and the fire-place was a reclining chair. Oth* er chairs, three or four, were variously placed. 1 have given these facts because they are necessary to an Intelligent understanding of what I am about to relate. That tn furnishing and adornment the room was plainly utilitarian Is not so material. But there is one exception to this general declaration which demands to "he specified. The mirror above the wash-stand possessed a distinction quite aside from its practical utility. This was by no means tho first time I had seen It. Cameron had showed It to me, with a. degree of pride, early In our acquaintance, explaining that It was at once a relic and an heirloom. Originally the property of Nell Gwynne, It bad descended to him through The glass was framed in colored beadwork, to which were attached wax figures in highsrellef: at the top, a miniature portrait of Charles n. in his state robes; at the bottom, one of Nell herself, in court dress. The king appeared also on the right, in hunting costume, and on the left was snother figure of his favorite in less ornamental garb. According to tho legend which accompanied this In- •.eresting antique, it was Nell Gwynne's own handiwork. It possessed for me a certain fascinatlon due more to its history than its beauty, for it was not the most artistic of creations, and as Cameron poked about for his Baudelaire. I stood gazing at the glass and thitfk- Ing of all I had ever read of the illiterate, but saucy, sprightly actress whose sole claim to fame hung on her winning the favor of that easy-going, royal hypocrite, Charles II. "Here's the binding!" I heard Cameron Bay, and -turned- from the mirror to the table, where he had found his sought-for treasure beneath a pile of heavier, grosser works. "You know something of bookbinding," he went on, with enthusiasm. "Now examine \hat carefully, and tell me if you ever saw anything more exquisite. I had It done in London, last year. It's a copy of one of Le Gascon's." At first sight it seemed all glittering gold, but on closer inspection I found that the groundwork was bright red morocco, inlaid with buff, olive, and marble leather, the spaces closely filled with very delicate and beautiful polntille traceries,' It was a veritable gem in its way, and I could not blame Cameron for his raptures. When I had applauded and bepraised to his content, he took the little volume from my hand and opening it, with a sort of slow reverence, observed with something like patronism: "I'm afraid you don't quite understand Baudelaire." "Does anybody?" I flung back. "He is not so obBcure as his critics would have us believe," Cameron asserted. "Sit down in that lounging chair a moment, and I'll read you something." And as 1 obeyed, he drew up a chair for himself, speaking all the while in denunciation of Tolstoi and the injustice of his criticism. One poem after another he read, while I lay back listening. To his credit he read them well, though be paused often in mid-verse to explain what he thought I might regard as an affectation or, as Tolstoi has put it, "an Intentional obscurity." There was one verse which Impressed me particularly as he read it, and remained with me for a long while afterward, for, in view of everything, It seemed to have a special apposltiV€ ne88. The lines to which I refer have been translated in this way: From Heaven's htj?h balconies See! In their threadbare robca the dead yenrs cast their eyes, And from the depths below regret's wan smile uppcara. Cameron sat with his back to the door leading to the passageway, and facing, diagonally, across the table, the Nell Gwynne mirror.. My own gaze was on him as he read. .As he finished thja verse, a portion of which I have quoted, he lifted his eyes, I thought to meet mine, but his look rose over my head, and clung, while his lids widened, and Into every line of his face there came a rigid, startled expression, half amazement, half horror And In that instant af tense silence the "Fleurs du Mai" •lipped from his nerveless fingers, struck the table edge, and dropped with unseemly echo to the floor. In a breath I was on my feet and staring where his vision had foc'ussed. ! hardly know what I expected to sea. I am sure nothing would have surprised me. And yet I was scarcely prepared for the, Inexplicable ruin which my sight encountered. The glass of the Nell Gwynne mirror was In atoms. Cameron rose, a little unsteadily I thought, and coming around the table, joined me In closer Inspection of bis wrecked hereditament. I can find no word adequate to the description of what we experienced. Amazement and all its synonyms are far too feeble for the task. We were certain* ly more than appalled. What we saw suggested to me spontaneous disintegration. If such a thing were possible, which 1 believe it is not. It might have explained the condition of the mirror. No other ascription seemed admissible; for, though the glass remained In its frame not so much as a splinter having been dropped, it was fractured into a thousand tiny pieces, resembling a crystal mosaic, Incapable of any bat the most minute reflections.

Pinckney, L f v i n g s t o n C o u n t y , Michigan T h u r s d a y D e : , 1 2 , l l ) l £ Nh. 5 ) CLAIMS DAMAGES One night last August a Willow tree fell across the Dexter road near the Sigler farm. Autoists coming from the lake reported the matter to Commissioner Smith who- immediately secured hilpand removed tfte obstruction In the meanwhile, Mr. John Bruhm of Fo wlerville tried to pass the falln. tree and in some way damaged his auto top slightly. Mrs. John Bruhm now presents a bill of damages to the tuwnship board which amounts to ov er twenty dollars and includes among ocher items the cnarge ef $1.00 for washing the car. In view of the fact that the tree was blown down in .gale a of wind abou sundown and the road was cleared as Boon as possible, not later than j;30 p. m., and that this township has not yet created a fund for cleaning privately owned autos, the Putnam township board decided to disallow the claim. As Mrs. Bruhm has engaged an attorney to look after her interests in the matter it is possible a lawsuit may be the result. Honorably Discharged " t l h e following S. A. T.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS A telegram from Secretary of the Treasury W. G. McAdoo. I most earnestly urge upon you that your organization make every possible effort to the end that pledges for the purchase of War Savings Stamps be fulfilled before the end of the year.

A new series of War Savings Stamps will be placed on sale during li)l9. The series will have a maturity date of J a n u a r y 1, 1924 and will be issued practically on the same terms as the issue of 1918. The war has been won but is not paid paid for. Up to November 1. Michigan has purchased 83 per cent of h e r quota.

TURN THE BOYS' THOUGHTS HOMEWARD, SAYS FOSOICK, ASKINGJO-OPERATION Washington. — (Special.) — Just before leaving for France to superintend tbe demobilization activities of those organizations which recently took part In the United War Work Campaign, Iiuymoud B. Fosdlck, Chuirmuu of the Commission on Training Camp Activities, was Interviewed with regard to the present situation of our overseas forces, , "The problem presented by the gradual demobilization of more than two million men three thousand miles from home Is one which will tax all our social resources," said Mr. Fosdick. "It Is above all a morale probi iem. and it must be faced as such, with, ! the full co-operation of families and i friends here In. this country, if it is to | be solvelTsu ccessTu 11 y.

Now, however, the lighting is at au | end. They are going to remain, most I of them, many months doing work i which will be neither exciting nor * particularly interesting.

"The $170,000,000 raised In the re- ! cent United Wur \Vork drive Is to be: ! uged precisely to bridge over this pei riod by providing recreation and amusement. IUit no amount of mere ' money expended in such a way will be ! enough. What these boys really want Is not diversion, but human interest ! and sympathy. These things express- 1 ed in letters from home will warm I their hearts and create a home atmosphere around them, even while they are aosent from the family circle. ' ,rSuch letters may "be a very necessary sheet anchor to windward in the case of some boys. The thought of some one waiting for them, rountlng on them, will, more than anything else, make them hold back and think twice before plunging into situations which might mean harm and uuhapp in ess for them. "We h:*e raised the cleanest army in the woihl. We have kepi it clean. We hope to bring it back as clean and strong as it was when it left us. But while we believe our soldiers will stand the present test—the hardest of nil in some ways—as bravely and successfully as they have stood every other test of their manhood and endurance, it is our duty to give them all the ho "This, rendered will b e . satisfyturn then accomplis ahead of }\i w e < ,;c;i t o them," an.

ALIEN ENEMIES TO BE DEPORTED Colons Churchill Saya Britannia Must Continue to Rule the Waves Nothing Can Sway Her From This 8tand. Dundee.—British representative* at the peace conference will demand general and absolute abolition of conscription throughout Europe. Winston Spencer Churchill made this announcement in a speech. David Uoyd George, British prime minister, in the election campaign in London, gave a restatement of his policy. In it he declares men responsible for the war cannot escape because their heads were crowned, but they must be tried by an international court Mr. Lloyd George also declared himself in favor of expulsion and ex. elusion of all enemy aliens. Peace Based On Stern Justice. London.—(British wireless service.) —Sir Auckland Geddes, president of the local government board and minister of national service, in a public address said the line of policy advocated by the coalition government was a peace which, so far as enemy powers were concerned, should be based en stern justice and so far as those men who planned and started the war were concerned should be founded on justice of the nature meted out in the highest courts of the land. Such men as the former German emperor, Enver Pasha and former rulers of Bulgaria and Austria would b« placed on trial and if found guilty, their lives would be forfeited. "Men guilty of unspeakable atrocities upon our prisoners and upon civilian Inhabitants of invaded lands," he continued, "must stand trial, and If they are condemned, must suffer death." It had to be proved how far commanders of submarines acted under orders, which they had to carry out under pain of death, or how far they acted on their own volition, he point ed out, but if atrocities at sea were committed on volition of individual commanders, he declared, they too, must suffer the extreme penalty. "Today is the day of reckoning for our enemies," said the minister, "and they will have to pay to the uttermost farthing what it is possible to bring out of them." Britain Wilt Rule Seas. Dundee, Scotland.—Britannia must continue to rule the waves. She will not suffer any abridgement whatsoever of her "well tried and well-deserved naval supremacy.*' No argument or appeals—no matter from what quarter—will sway her from this stand. Colonel Churchill's statement was the first positive, clear-cut and uncompromising utterance on the subject made by any member of the government since signing of the armistice.

"LETTERS-FROM-HOME" WEEK War Department Commission Wants Soldiers' Kin to Help Maintain Morale of Army. New York,—The week of December 15 has been designated by the war department commission on training camp activities as a time for special letters to be written by mothers, fathers, sisters, wives and sweethearts of the men now overseas. The week has been called "Letters-From- Home" week, and the purpose is to apply the "home touch" to a broadgauged military program for maintaining the morale of the men who find themselves idle after weeks of strenuous fighting. The war department hopes, through these letters, to keep the men contented, "straight,4* and ambitious to live up to the high ideals of American manhood. A model letter such as the government wants the mothers and fathers especially to write has been prepared by the war department. This, with letters from Secretary of War Baker and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commission, Indorsing the plan, has been mailed to newspapers throughout the country. The letter particularly asks that the men overseas direct their attention to wholesome recreation and activities, instead of to the unwholesome influences that might result from the enforced period of idleness wherever large bodies of troops are awaiting orders to return home. WOUNDED SENT NEAR HOMES Michigan Men Will Come to Detroit and Custer Hospitals. Washington.—Plans under which all wounded men returning frbm France will go to hospitals within 300 miles of homes of their nearest relatives were announced by the war department. To this end base hospitals at training camps have been turned over to the surgeon-general providing 75 hospitals with facilities to care for 109,231 men. Fifty thousand men are expected to be sent to these institutions within the next four months. Use of the training camps will make it possible to return to their owners immediately numerous properties and buildings which were to be converted into general hospitals. Michigan men, under the war department plan, are classified in hospital group No. 10—General hospital, Detroit and base hospital, Camp Custer. THOUSANDS IN U. S. N. RELEASED Will Permit Youths to Return to Civil Pursuits, As Before War. Washington.—-Discharge of 20 per cent of the navy's wartime personnel, about 100,000 men, has been authorized. Secretary Daniels said the men would be released as quickly as possible with due regard to the convenience of the service. Private yachts, motor boats and other craft taken over by the nary for the war already are being turned back to their owners. Mr. Daniels said by February 700 crafts wilt have been stricken from the navy list. Release of enlisted men Is author, ised not because the navy Is overmanned, but to permit return to civil pursuits of youths who* Joined for the war and who do not Intend to follow the sea.

Berlin—W^iat promises to be a decisive battle for elimination of partisan politics In Soldiers' and Workmen's councils throughout Germany has been precipitated by announced determination of soldiers to insist upon party representation on all governing boards. Leaders of soldiers declare if the present virtual dictatorship system of government is to be continued they will demand equal vote with workingmen. Otherwise they insist upon immediate convocation of the national assembly. "We soldiers are fully qualified to speak for the bourgeoisie." a former non-commissioned officer said to the correspondent "The war has obliterated completly what waa once proudly called 'Germany's splendid middle classes.' We represent all callings, trades and professions. Workingmen, on the other hand, have succeeded during progress of war in creating a special social category, brought about by prosperity of labor. "The bourgeoisie Is really the proletariat. Soldiers object to being outvoted and therefore demand strict party representation in the composS tion of the Soldiers' and Workingmen's boards." " Soldiers seem thus far to have proved themselves Inferior parliamentary tacticians as compared with radical labor elements. This realization is dawning on them, and their movement designed to reform working methods of the executive committee and bring about closer communion between the two divisions promisee to furnish the first big political sensation of the revolutionary government "It Is commonly understood soldiers are anxious both wings of the German social democracy busy themselves in trying to get together on a common national platform. The existing system of a compromise government is said to have exhausted patience of soldiers. NAVY BUILDING ON WAR BASIS Secretary Daniels Asks $«00^00,000 to Be Spent In 3 Year's Construction. Washington.—America's determination to possess a nayy of constantly increasing strength and efficiency-— fully capable of preserving and maintaining its newly-won position among nations of the world—Is officially expressed by Secretary of the Navy Daniels in his annual report to the president, now made public. Notwithstanding cessation of hostilities and the approaching peace conference, Secretary Daniels strongly urges continued upbuilding of the navy, specifically asking, for authorization of another three-year construction program to cost $800,000,- 000. Asks For 156 New Ships. This tubatntially duplicates the amount appropriated in 1918, when the world war was raging and which constituted the first comprehensive building program ever authorised for the navy. The new program arranged to cover a second three-year term provides for construction of a total of 166 new vessels. Tea of these are to be battleships and six of them battle cruisers. The other 140 vessels are not specified. It Is simply asked that they be of types already approved and In existence or of new types which may develop during the life of the program, details being left to the navy department. "Ships to Equal Any Afloat" The secretary adds that new ship construction should embrace craft of every description which experience of the war has demonstrated to be necessary to the efficient sad symmetrical development of the navy. Commenting on his recommendations, he says: T h i s program, if anthorised hy congress, at I aat eoaflde&t it wOl to* will give us 16 additional capital aalBf which wffl he the osjwt of «ay afloat at the Hate the* sre> "" t o t a l ssihssjos t tor ship tion involved * * the maw a ^ n a s * n v etadJaa; armor aad sariisaioot sg •Je* • sosperB^Pe^rSSf^r! <»r ytJB? lOf -e*B&Ms\BsV .of - & : • & % LOOK AT CHILD'S TONGUE IF SICK, t CROSS, FEVERISH] HURRY, MOTHER1 REMOVE POI.

CHAPTER XIII—Continued —10— Suddenly the German uttered a ehok- &K cry and dropped, blood spurting !rom his throat, where a chance bullet lad found hlra. As he fell, Mark precipitated himself upon hlui and lay lat on the ground. The firing died away. Captain Mark began to crawl back toward the parapet of his lines. A whispered challenge, an answer, and he had scaled the sandbags ..and descended into the mud of the trench, to find the firing posts crowded and himself facing Kellerman and the company captain. Inwardly boiling, he stood still. It was too dark to see the expression on Kellerman's face, but he could imagine the sneering grin that disfigured it. "Well!" said Kellenjiau sharply. "The man you sent me to bring In was dead. He hud been -there for days." "Where are your companions?" demanded Kellermun. "Captured." "And you?" "We were attacked in the dark. I fought with my man until a bullet killed him. The others Mere taken." "And your stretcher?" asked Kellerman with a bland sneer. "I left it between the lines. Do you wish me to go back for it, sir?" "This man is lying," said Kellerman to the Captain calmly. "He abandoned his companions and ran away. He lost his stretcher. Put him under arrest." The Captain beckoned to the platoon sergeant, who came forward. "I'd like to say one thing," said Mark, striving to keep his voice steady. "We three were sent out to bring in a dead man, who had been dead for days—anyone here will beur me out in this. Wus any man wounded tonight? There was only one body in this section—" "Cut it out!" said the sergeant, laying his hand on Mark's shoulder. But Mark swung clear of him and turned and faced Kellerman ""again. "You sent me out tonight to put me out of the way !" he cried, losing all self-control. "For rensons that you know, and I know, you wanted me dead, and you were willing to send two others to their death also. You lied ro inc to put me off my guard, d n you. you treacherous dog! And here's the blow you gave, back again!" He struck Kellerman a buffet that sent him reeling back against the parapet. CHAPTER XIV, The three officers who had brought In their verdict, and the fourth, of high rank, who had passed the sentence, stood rather stiffly at the door of the little headquarters village house, watching Mark as, with hands chained, he was inarched away by two armed guards toward the Jail. When he was out of Trfght they un« bent "D-—n it!" said one. "My sentiments," answered another. "What do you think, McKlnnon?" "I don't want to think about it.H "If it had been some tough who had got roped Into the army—a gunman or that sort—but—" "Well, if the fellow's a gentleman, why did he do it? He must hove known." "And, after all, he might have been respited for the blow, bat the gross cowardice—" **I don't see that The blow was worse than the cowardice.

She pressed her lips to his. "Captain Mark I Dear Captain Murk !" she sobbed. And, holding her closely to him, and forgetting Howard's presence and everything else, Mark found his peace. Colonel Howard was trying to calm her, to assuage her frantic grief. At last he persuaded her to sit down. He took Mark by the arm as if he were a child, and placed him beside her. "Mark, my dear boy—Mark, I heard of it only five minutes ago," he said. "I ha'd to spend the night here, and Eleanor had got leave to meet me. I've just learned the outlines of it. I'm trying to get the General. Yes, yes, I know he refused this morning, but he didn't know. I'm only going to ask for a respite till I can see him personally. It will come out all right Now tell me, Mark, what happened? How did Kellerman meet you? Why did you strike him,? I don't ask about the charge of cowardice, because that Isn't worth speaking about. I'll settle that with the General—I haven't forgotten Santiago. But about that blow, Mark—how did it all happen? Tell me exactly, so that I—" It was unlike the old Colonel to gabble so fast. Perhaps he was afraid of breaking down. "Can tell the General. Now begin, Murk. Tell me from the beginning." But Mark did not open his tips. And before Colonel Howard could resume Eleanor had sprung up and faced Mark eagerly. "Now, Captain Mark, listen! If you've never listened to me before, listen now !" she ("tied. "I know you aren't going to tell the Colonel. It's "Now Capt. Mark, Listen." like you, Captain Mark. You're stubborn. You have a stupid, wicked streak of stubbornness in you that always, makes you pretend things, and always prevents you from letting the world see what a dear, good, splendid man you are. I know you through and through, though you've never known I did. You've ruined your life by your silly silences. You seem to like to be misunderstood. You like things to go wrong with you, so that you can suffer undeservingly. But it isn't he* roical of you. Captain Mark. It's stubborn and wrong, and, where others are concerned, it's criminal.

"Tell the Coto» nel, Captain, Mark, because of me," she said. "There's nothing to tell, my dear," said Mark, groping for the words that would not come. "I struck him because he—*• And he could say nothing.

Tat ho was Ignorant of the inhibitory process wounded man unnecessarily," said Mark lamely. He saw a spasm pass over Howard's face. This was worse tLun Howard could have believed. The Colonel was shaken; his faith wus strong, but he was one of those who accept the obvious. "Listen, Captain Mark!" said Eleanor, speaking as if to a baby. "That isn't what you wanted to say. You had no thought of criticizing your superior officer, even If you thought him wrong. That Isn't what you mount. Perhaps he'll tell me, father! Stand back a little. Now, whisper it, Captain Mark!" But in the shelter of Eleanor's arms Mark felt altogether at peace. What did it matter, all this of long ago? "Are you going to marry Kellerman, Eleanor?" he asked. Very softly, in the obscurity, he felt her shake her head. And the action had precisely the opposite effect of what Eleanor hud intended. For nothing mattered any more, nothing at all. He couldn't find excuses— Mark Wallace had never excused himself in his life. Eleanor drew herself out of his arms and looked at him. He looked from her face to the Colonel's. Why were they worrying him? How could he hope to saveihts life by going into the obscure details and explanations that they required of him? And what a long rigmarole, beginning back In the war department! Mark could not string a case together; his mind was not constructed In that fashion. Eleanor laid her hand on his arm. "Captain Murk—don't you see that every moment is torture to us?" she asked. There was a terrible intensity In her tone, as if she were holding herself rigidly in restraint, for fear that she would fall should she yield to her emotion. "I struck him." stammered Mark. "I toldj you why. I thought he was wrong to risk those lives—I—" The look upon each face seemed to be frozen there; it was as if tiieir lives and not Murk's, hung upon his words. ""Suddenly'a shriek pierced the sky, cutting off Mark's speech, and a shell burst somewhere by with a shattering detonation, followed by the dull boom of a distant gun. The Colonel started, and then resumed his gaze. But there came a stunning sound that seemed to split his ear-drums. He fell forward, and felt as if some one hud lifted him; looked out into darkness, sought Eleanor and knew nothing. that now» «tv *fwars, hold Msa ha But neanir cttMf to him. f-i son* * * » * a£4s-**lt * CHAPTER XV. When he slowly grew conscious It was with the glad realization that he had found her. He felt her hands, supple and warm, biudlng a bandage round his arm. He opened his eyes to see her face bent over his. And it was dawn. Vague cries rang in his ears, distant cries, blending, surging, swelling and dying,down, but never ceasing. The rattle of small-arms was continuous, and punctuated by the loud timbre of guns. He was lying amid a heap of debris that had been the village jail. Not for away he saw the Colonel sitting with eyes closed, propped up against the fragments of a wall, a blood-stained bandage round his head. "O thank God I" cried Eleanor. "Yon has* Captain badly hurl* on pass najt hear me." ""' All round them the guns were booming, all round them they saw khaki - clad Americans swarming over the fields, and yet the village seemed deserted. They were alone in a little oasis of calm amid the tumult. "What are we to d o r cried the girl. "Can you walk? Try to stand on your feet Let me help you. We must get the Colonel somewhere." The question on Mark's lips died away as there came the howl of a heavy shell, followed by a stunning impact A column of broken bricks spouted into the sir at the end of the street dissolving into a cloud of dust An Interval, and again there came a missile from the monster gun. A house In the next street went down like cardboard. It was the threatened attack on the American lines. The enemy was in force somewhere across the fields, the reserves were rushing up to repel them, Mark staffers* to his feet and found that be cooM stand. His arm ached under the bsjndago, bnt tt was act broken. Probably a splinter ted struck hif*. B P mads Ms way toward the Colonel, who eyed him vacantly »ts lie approached. "Take Eleanor to safety and leave me, Murk," he said, In a choking voice. . "I'll take you both, sir. This can't last long. Our men will be In the village in a few minutes. Or an ambulance will pass." Mark put his hands beneath the Colonel's arms and tried to lift him. As the Colonel tried to stund he collapsed forward in Murk's anus. He looked at Mark piteously. "Take her and leave me," he whispered. "And listen to me, Mark. She cares for you. All will come right, if I can keep my worthless carcass alive until I've seen the General. But I never counted on being done up like this." There were tears In the old man's eyes. "Forgive me, my boy," he muttered, and fell into unconsciousness. Mark set him down against the wall again. It was impossible to move hint, oven with Eleanor's help. Mark looked at Eleanor. "It's safest here," he said. "The village will be occupied soon. Help will come—" He broke off abruptly as another of the heavy shells dropped nearer, sending the brick fragments flying In all directions. Of a sudden tt had occurred to him that the reason wJiy the Americans did not enter the village was that it was a death-trap; Its ranges were all mapped and plotted, and the Germans were bent on Its systematic destruction. Mark stood by Eleanor in irresolution, cursing his fate. He did not know what to do. He could not leave her; and yet he felt a burning impulse to play some part in affairs. His eye, truined by long years of practice, took In the tactical situation at a glunce. The Germans must have made a prodigious thrust in the night, bursting through the center; the reserves, still rushing over the fields, were trying to 1111 and hold the gap. And the little Headquarters village was the key to the whole battlefield. Wounded men came streaming down the street, followed by the merciless shells. The aeroplane above was still circling like a hawk; it seemed Incredible that no aeroplnnp attacked It. And It was quite clear to Mark that only treachery, calculated and long planned, could have brought about the situation. For the Germans must have advanced four miles since nightfall. "Help will come—" Mark repeated; and suddenly, even above the drumlire, he could bear the sounds of cheering. And, topping the ridge that ran before the village, there came a swarm of gray-green figures, thrusting back thf; thin, scattered line that held it. Tho bullets were whirring "overhead, audible, and like a swarm of bees. Cloud* of dust rose up and hid the battle. Eleanor, clutching Mark's arm, stood tense beside him ; Mnrk saw that she understood, and the two held their breath as the dust clouds eddied along the ridge. Suddenly they dissolved, and the attacking swarm poured Hke a great Hood into the village. It looked as if all were lost.- But an Instant later Mark saw a little company of Americans thrust out a Maxim gun from behind a wall, where they had hidden It. The gunner took his seat, and, just as the ranks were closing in on hi in, swept the street from side to side. The ranks recoiled and fan, body piling on body. Then, as a torrent teres* Its way through tho tce-crnst of a river, tho attackers over* whelmosl the Majdai sect! on and swopt Into the stissts, — And, as torrent meets torrent, with a surge and a rush a body of American troops swept forward to meet them. The battle was"all about them. Every house was a fortress, every mound of bricks a rallying point. Mark raised the half-conscious Colonel in his arras and drew him into the shelter of a little hollow in the brick wall. He beckoned to Eleanor to crouch down beside him. There they were safe from flying bullets, and might hope to pass unnoticed. He still hesitated, when a body of Germans rushed, shouting, past him, upon a troop of Americans who came round a shattered corner, led by a younarofficer carrying a bloody sword. It was quick and short bayonet work. Mark saw the blades flash, heard tho panting gasps of the thrusters and the moans of the wounded. He saw the young officer stagger and fall, a bayonet through hia shoulder. The sword fell from his hand. Before the German could withdraw his weapon Mark had snatched- up ibe sword and, with a mighty blow, cloven the German's ana from'his body.

City With Removal of German Control Is Confidently Looked For. In tho German song, "Deutsohlnnd Jobor Alios,'' which is probably not being shouted as vociferously today lis It was four years ago, it Is declared that Germany stretches "from Hie Mans to the Memel." As u matter of fact, the Gorman population siops considerably short of the river Memel, the committee on public Information says. The Menu1! valley is inhabited chiefly by Lithuanians find the seaport of Memel. located at Its month, Is almost wholly u Lithuanian city. In tho middle ages tho Lithuanian race In IhK region extended up to the Vistula. Hut in the thirteenth century the Teutonic knights conquered the territory nnd started to oppress the people. Notwithstanding persecutions, attempts to Germanize the population through school and church, nnd the iroti rile of the Gorman police and officials the northern part of east Prussia still remained Llthunninn. Memel (called Klaipeda by the Lithuanians) is the natural Llthunninn outlet to the Baltic sen. The Germans could not deve'op it as, n port because there was no mainland behind It which was under German control, and only a nnrrow strip of the territory was under German sway. Tf conditions change nnd German control of Lithuania is removed, Memel should hoenme n prosperous nnd lively Llthunninn port. wMVWtnrcs OT wheal: and bap* ley so mad* as to be rich in sugar; and ready to eat •from package with milk or cr*arrv7fo4& GrapfNuts 4. • • • * 4 3ri 3! *i « * -:¾ /.''•'*'£• • * * * * • w • A '>. • - 4 - ^ - x ' #e, *?*£;.•. .''T-r>' ' * • : * • • , •«••-.» - w 7 ;•* . - S L V "* /v;v • - - . * " « " • • « * — a*; . • # • • : 1¾ r; .4¾ * ;.% . 4 ^ >.'.V ft: 1 .'-^ t. i * 3 4. ! - ^ - I < < W > I . # • • - » ' • / .

DAVID ROatntTS* CatfCMera VERY year about the middle of November a small sign appeared over the door of the Thomas cottage which bore the legend, "The Evergreen Shop." Every year during the Christmas season Ruth Thomas made hundreds of evergreen wreaths, which she sold for Christmas decorations. This was why the people of Brierly called her the evergreen girl. The day before Christmas Ruth sat in her little shop finishing the last wreath she would make that season. 'There!" she said, deftly twisting a sprig of bright red berries among the evergreen stems, "that finishes Helen Stanwood's order, and thank goodness It's done in time. Oh. dear I" she sighed, laying the wreath aside. "I do wish I coulxl spend one Christmas time enjoying myself as others do. Why, there has not been anyone here over the holidays since I can remember, and I have not been to a Christmas party in years —not since the time I went over to Dolly Blair's with Dane." A warm color suddenly glowed In the girl's cheeks and there was a soft light In her brown eyes as she thought of that memorable right. Dane Stanwood had taken her to that party. Once during the evening he caught her as she was standing under the mistletoe bough** and— At POSTPAID t m JML DAVID B O i m •tots aXL Missal sit—af. lafsfsMnsi free.

The sudden roar of a high-power automobile broke in upon Ruth's musings, and she looked out In time to see a long bluo roadster flash past the gate. The car belonged to Dane Stanwood. Shortly after the Christmas party at Dolly Blair's Dane had gone West to become a mining engineer. He had written a few times to Ruth and then the letters bad stopped coming, and she had no; heard from him for nearly four years. Then, Just a month ago, he had suddenly appeared in Brierly jvlth the blue racing car. Soon it was rumored that he had made a fortune in the mines. Ths second week after his return Stanwood bought the old Blaln mansion and gave the information that he intended to move into his new home before Christmas. Next he announced that preparations were under way for a party which he was giving Christmas eve. The evergreen girl had been surprised and a little bit hurt because startled me. I thought it was your sister, and—-" "Helen has gone to Balford to meet a friend who Is to spend the holidays with us," said the young man, "so she sent me after the wreaths." He smiled down at the girl. T h i s is the evergreen shop, isn't i t f "Yes," said Ruth, forcing a smile n return. "And you are the evergreen girt?" "I believe they call me that," she answered. "Well," said Stanwood, "Sis told me to be sure and fetch you back with me when I returned." "Back with you!" echoed Ruth. "Really I—I can't go. There is so much to do here, and—" "Bosh!" laughed Dane. "Of course you will go back with me. Fact is you'll have to." He waved his hand as Ruth started to speak. "No excuses now, for I won't listen to 'em. You see," Stanwood went on, "Sis and her friend were supposed to help get things ready for the party tonight, but she telephoned just as 1 was leaving the house that the train on which her friend was to arrive is very l«te. She may not get back until nine o'clock, and the party begins at eight I told Sis I could never get things ready In time, for the decorating isn't half done. Then she happened to think of you, and I said right off that you would be just the one to help us o u t You're not going t disappoint us, are you?" very anxiously. "We-li, perhaps I can go for a little while," said Ruth. "T'd dearly love to trim that Christmas tree.". "Of course, I won' stay to the party/' she thought ns she scurried upstairs after a wrap, "so I won't see Dane's sweetheart, for of course Fhe is the one Helen is to meet at the train. And I really ought to help Dane and his sister out, for they have been sucb good customers." Dane ushered Ruth Into the hlg double parlors of his new home, wttere the Christmas tree had been placed. "Do you suppose." he asked, pointing to a great pile of evergreen at one end of the room, "we will be able to hang all these wreaths and then decorate the tree before eight o'clock?" The evergreen girl gave a merry little laugh. "I am sure we can if we work fnst.** she answered. "I nm used to this work, yon know, and with your help ft won't take long." "How long hnve you been the evergreen girl?" Dnne asked, as he and Ruth were trimming n chandelier. "This Is my third season," Ruth replied. "I found that there was a big demand for wreaths, and laurel trimming during the Christmas holidays, so three years ago I opened nn evergreen shop. I love to do this kind of work, and although the season is a short one, my little shop pnys well." The evergreen girl might hnve added that, more than this, the rush of work just at Christmas time helped her to forget the dull ache in her heart whfch was always so hard to bear during the holidays. She said nothing of this, though, but asked. Instead : "Tell me, Dane, how you have spent Christmas while you have been away. Have you been where there was much merry-making?" "For the past, three years." said Stanwood, 'Tve celebrated Christmas by working from dawn till dark. This Is the first enjoyable Christmas eve I have known since I left Brierly." "It has been a very pleasant evening for me, too," said Ruth, "and I have enjoyed It ever so much. Now well trim the Christmas tree, and then you can take me home and get back in time for the party." At half-past seven Dane surveyed the big double parlors with satisfaction. With the help of the evergreen girl he had finished the decorations and everything was in readiness for the guests, "The rooms look just as they did four years ago at Dolly Blair's Christmas tree—even the mistletoe bough." said Dane. "Don't you remember how that one hung right over our heads, as this one does now?" The evergreen girl was silent. "Had you forgotten, Ruth?" he persisted. "No," softly, "I had not forgotten."

Washington, Dec. 4.—Future plans of the American Red Cross, under which the great organization built up during the war will be devoted to peace-time relief work not only in the United States but throughout the world, was outlined in a statement issued tonight by Henry P. Davison, chairman of the war council. "The whole American people will be invited In the week preceding Christmas to enroll as members of the Red Cross. It is confidently believed there need be no further campaigns for Red Cross funds, but instead the annual roll call will constitute the foundation of the Red Cross. The people should, therefore, know as definitely as possible the plans of this their national humanitarian society. "Wherever our soldiers a d sailors may be, the Red Cross will stay with them until they are demobilized. Nothing which we may do will be left undone, either for the men in the war zone, for those returning, for those in the camps and hospitals or for their families at home to whom will continue to be devoted the ministrations of the Red Cross home service. In this latter effort 50,000 trained Red Cross workers are now engaged at 2,500 different places throughout the land. "The problems of reconstruction, involving feeding and caring for the distressed civilian populations of Europe, are of such magnitude that necessarily they must he met very largely by the governments of our allies, with whom our own government will co-operate. "The war program of the American Red Cross will thus steadily and rapidly merge itself into a peace program. While the plans In this direction cannot be formulated specifically, In advance of the general relief program of the allied governments, the American Red Cross is nevertheless planning to develop Its permanent organization in (his country upon a scale never before contemplated In time of peace. The commissions which are now conducting the activities of the American Red CroRs in foreign countries, as well as the temporary war organization in this country, will as a matter of course ultimately merge their energies with those of the permanent organization of the Red Cross. "There may be, therefore, perfect confidence that the peace activities of the Red Cross will he conducted under able and inspiring leadership. Th<> chapters will maintain their organizations upon a scale adequate to the new demands to be made upon them. Local committees will Indeed appreciate more and more the value of having In their midst strong and efficient Red Cross chapters. The divisional organizations, with honorary and permanent staffs, will be maintained—alwayf ready for service; and national hea quarters will have a large and efficlei personnel to direct the activities of tborganization as a whole. "For the completion of its war work and for the institution of its peace program, the Red Cross is fortunately In a healthy flnnncial condition. Abundant occasion for the use of large funds of money and great quantities of garments and other supplies will continue to arise, hut it is believed that there will be no further need for Intensive campaigns for funds. The work of supplementing governmental activities, which the Red Cross will be called upon to do in ail parts of the world, will be upon a great scale, but It will call for human service rather than for large expenditures. "What the American Red Cross needs now is not so much contributions ^f money, as the continued devotion ind loyalty of its members. This is peculiarly true at this moment of transition from war to peace. Annual membership involves the payment of only one dollar. The moneys thus re* celved not only defray all the administrative expenses of the organisation, bat leave a substantial balance, which, together with all funds subscribed directly for relief, are devoted solely to that purpose. The roll call of the nation Is thus to be called at Christmas time, that through enrollment in their Red Croat the American people may a nmssage to our soldiers stilt and to the peoples of the world that we are not only merely eonfeat with seeing our arms united wtth ontaule* tn victory, hat that our abtd- 'Wpwpoee Is that the love, the sym- Removes all dandruff, stops Itching scalp and falling hair.

Some Spending Money. My brother was in command of a colored company in one of the Southern training camps when one day an enlisted man asked permission to spend Sunday in a nearby town. The captain said he might if he could show that he had enough money for his expenses and a little over, whereupon he pulled out a roll of bills and counted out $700 before the commanding officer. That astonished individual asked: "Where did you get all that money?" The man replied: "My wife thought I might need a little spending money, so she sent me a thousand dollars."

T * * H E following letter explains the reason why Foley Kidney Pills have such a widespread and constantly increasing tale. It ia written by Mrs. Cha«. Gray, 270 Sixth St., Detroit, Mich.: "I tnutt My I hare tones tuch good rciultt from Foley Kidney Pill* that I c*n aleep much better and the pain in my back and aide* U a good lot better. I have never bad the retulta from other medicine that ! have gotten from Foley Kidney PUla." Thousands of letters like the above have been received by Foley and Co. These letters tell how the writers have been benefited and helped to health. They explain the ever-growing demand for : • * * -.•Hi* The kidneys are blood niters that pick out from the blood certain waste products which would act as poisons, together with%nough water to dissolve them and waah then out ef the body. When the kidney* are out of order, these iBsevrMes are not removed from the blood and they remain to poUon the tyttem, causing backache, swollen or stiff joints, rheumatic paint andr even more eertous cumplahtta, Minor symptoms of kidney trouble are pufineaa under eyes, floating seocka, dry mouth, blUoutneM.^reakneaa, and pale, waxy dry akin. When the kidneys, give any indkettoe o/ waatosss or deras^easeiit* they should receive aid at once. rvoFaohletfyg jKthid kniedyn PeyU*la. sWtreNngnththene —kM4 aIenyv*ig aonrda tbel wadedeekr, *a—te*»*• ferrolyai ptaetr^iosryaalt etmhe iarn h4*eoc utian4e,a g, ea^oti sokneoauitah iw act-e k- ree-seefJ^ P O P S a l a B y A%.

by the board of regents Edwin H Brown, Ann Arbor read estate owner, who recently carried to Gov Fred W Green a petition bearing 7,000 names asking the governor to halt the universitys dormitory program, is quoted as saving hat the re gents have refused to hear arguments against the plan In reply, Dr Little said There is only one phase of the reported state ment of Edwin H Brown which, in my ejtunation, needs comment at the present time No effort has been made by the group of citizens in question to reach zhe board of regents through university offices Any implication, therefore, that such an effort has been made and that they have been discouraged from making an ap proach to the regents, or have been denied such hearing is unfounded In my experience with the board of re gents, they have never refused to give consideration to any properly accred ited group which has applied for a hearing Dr Little has released a resolution adopted by the directors of the National Alumni association at their meeting in Washington, Nov y, in which it is pointed out that the dormitory program has been maturing since 1915 The resolution reads Resolved, that the director of the Alumni association express to tne regents of the University of Michigan their gratification at the initiative and readiness to take immediate action shown by the regents in the dormitory program for the university, first sponsored by the Alumni association in 1915 They recognize that it is largely this willingness to cooperate in the considered policies of the association that has made possible this

has not skimmed over th silvery waters of the Lipari, with a summer breeze right from Italy in hL topsails, the smoke of Stromboli alone tile unfathomablelooking dipped said tenre of the eye Shall we let ladies aboard, air said a smiling middy, coming aft from the gangway Yea, yir And tell the boatswains mate to clear away for a dancj on the quarterdeck In most of the ports of the Mediterranean a shipofwar, on a summer cruise, is as welcome as breeze from the sea Bringing with her forty or fifty gay young officers overcharged with life and spirits, a band of music never so well occupied as when playing for a dance, and a deck whiter and smoother than a ballroom floor, the warlike vessel seems made for a scene of pleasure Whatever her nation, she no sooner drops her anchor, than she is surrounded by boats from the shore and when the word is passed for admission, her gangway is crowded with the mirthloving and warm people of these southern climes, as much at home on board and as ready to enter into any scheme of amusemenet as the maddestbrained midshipman could desire The companionhatch was covered with its grating, lest some dizzy waitzer should drop his partner into the steerage, the band got out their musicstand, and the bright buttons were soon whirling around from larboard to starboard, with forms in their clasp and dark eyes glowing over their shoulders, that might have tempted the devil out of Stromboli Being only a passenger myself, I was contented with sitting on the side of a cannonade and, with the music in my ear, and the twilight flush deepening in the finetraced angles of the rigging, abandon myself to the delicious listlessness with which the very air is pregnant in these climates of Paradise The light feed slid by, and the waltz, and other dances had followed each other till it was broad moonlight on the decks It was like night with out an atmosphere, the radiant flood poured down with such an invisible and moonlike clearness Do you see the lady leaning on that old gentlemans arm by the hammock rail said the first lieutenant, who sat upon the next gunlike my self a spectator of the scene I had remarked her well She had been in the ship five or ten minutes and in that time, it seemed to me, I had drunk her beauty, even to intoxication The ship was slowly swinging round to the land breeze and the moon, from drawing the curved line of a gypsyshaped capella di pa glia with bewitching concealment across her features, gradually fell full upon the dark limit of her orbed forehead Heaven what n Yion of beauty Solimn ,ai, ful oi

compliment of sending them ashore in one of the ships boats and, after assisting them down the ladder, I stood upon the broad stair on the level of the water and watched the phosphoric wake of the swift cutter till the bright sparkles were lost amid the vessels nearer land The coxswain reported the boats return but all that belonged to the ship had not come back with her My heart was left behind The next morning there was the usual bustle in the gunroom preparatory to going ashore Glittering uniforms lay about upon the chairs and tables, sprinkled with swords, epaulets and cocked hats very wellbrushed boots were 3ent to be rebrushed, and very nice coats to be made, if possible, to look nicer the ships barber was cursed for not having the hands of Briareus, and no good was wished to the eyes of the washerwoman of the last port where the ship had anchored Colognewater was in great request, ami the purser had an uncommon number of private interviews Amid all the bustle, the question of how to pass the day was busily agitated Twenty plans were proposed but the sequela dinner at the Hotel Anglais, and a stroll for a lark after itwas the only point on which the speakers were quite unanimous One proposition was to go to Bagaria and see the palace of Monsters This is a villa about ten miles from Palermo, which the owner, Count Pallagonia, and an eccentric Sicilian no ble, had ornamented with some hundreds of statues of the finest workmanship, representing the form of woman, in every possible combination with beasts, fishes and birds It looks like the temptation of St Anthony, on a splendid scale, and is certainly one of the most extraordinary spectacles in the world Near it stands another villa, the property of Prince Butera, containing j in the depths of its pleasure grounds a larpre monastery, with wax monks, of the siae and appearance of life, scattered about the passages and cells and engaged in every possible unclerical avocation It is a whimsical satire on the Order, done to the life Another plan was to go to the Capuchin convent, and see the dried friarssix or eight hundred bearded U W No 86812101928 Are Vou Read When your Children Ciy for It

infernal spectacle never was seen by mortal eyes, A drive to Monreale, a nest of a village on the mountain above the towna visit to the gardens of a no bleman who salutes the stranger with a jet deau at every turningand a lounge in the public promenade of Palermo itselfshared the honors of the argument I had been in Sicily before, and was hesitating which of these various lions was worthy of a second visit, when the surgeon proposed to me to accompany him on a visit to a Sicilian count, living in the neighborhood, who had converted his chateau into a lunatic asylum, and devoted his time and a large fortune entirely to this singular hobby He was the first to try the system now, thank God, gen erally approved, of winning back reason to the most wretched of hu man sufferers by kindness and gentle treatment We jumped into one of the rattling calesini Ending in the handsome corso of Palermo, and fifteen minutes beyond the gates brought us to the Casa dei Pazzi My friends uniform and profession were an immediate passport, and were introduced into a handsome court, surrounded by a colonnade, and cooled by a fountain, in which were walking several well dressed people, with books, drawing boards, battledores and other means of amusement They all bowed politely as we passed, and, at the door of the interior, we were met by the Count Goodness I exclaimedshe was insarw then It was the old man who was on board the night before E ella said I, seizing his arm before he had concluded his bow, quite sure that he must understand me with a word Era pazza He looked at me as he answered, with a scrutiny, as if he half suspected my friend had brought him a subject The singular character of her beaaty was quite explained Yet what a wreck I followed the old Count around his establishment in a kind of dream, but I could not avoid being interested at every step Here were no chains, no wrips, no harsh keepers no cell of Wi y,i,, M,wvv , stone and straw The walls of the long upon the road, of the girls history corridors were painted, in fresco, representing sunny landscapes and gay, dancing figures Fountains and shruba met tta at every tarn The people were dressed in thair ordinary clothes, and all employed in some light work or amusement It was like what ft might have bean in the days of the Counts ancestorsa gay chateau, filled with guesta and dependents, with no more apparent constraint than the ties of hospitality and service We went first to the kitchen Here were ten people, all but the cook, stark mad It was one of the peculiarities of the Counts system, that his patients led in his hoiue the lives to which they had previously been accustomed A stout Sicilian peasant girl was employed in filling a large brasier from the basin of a fountain While we wen watching her task the fit be gan to come on her, and, after a fierce look or two around the room, she com menced dashing the water about her with great violences The cook turned, not at all surprised, and, patting her on the back, with a loud laugh cried, Brava, Pepina brava ringing at the same moment a secret bell A young girl of sixteen with a sweet, smiling countenance, answered the summons, and immediately com prehending the case, approached the enraged creature, and putting her arms affectionately around her neck, whispered something in her ear The expression of her face changed immediately to a look of delight, and drop ping the bucket, she followed the young attendant out of the room with peals of laughter Venite said the Count, you shall see how we manage our furies We followed across a garden, filled with the sweetest flowers, to a small room opening on a lawn From the center of the ceiling was suspended a hammock, and Pepina was already in it, swung lightly from side to side, while the attendant stood by and, as if in play, threw water upon her face at every approach It had all the air of a frolic The violent laughter of the poor maniac grew lees and less as the soothing motion and the coolness of the water took effect, and in a few minutes her strained eyes gently closed, the hammock was swung more and more gently, and she fell asleep This, said the Count, with a gratified smile, is my substitute for a forced shower bath and chains and this, kissing his little attendant on the forehead, for the whip and the grim turnkey I blessed him in my heart Come said he, as we left the sleeper to her repose, I must show you my grounds We followed him to an extensive garden opening from the back of the chateau, laid out, originally, in the formal style of an Italian village The long walks had been broken up, however, by beautiful arbors with grottoes in their depths, in which wooden figure, of the color ami size of life, stood or sat in every attitude of gaiety or grotasqueness It was difficult, in the deep shadow of the vines and oleanders, not to believe them real We walked on through many a winding shrubbery, perfumed with all the scented flowers of the luxuriant climate, continually surprised with little deceptions of perspective, or figures half concealed in the leaves, till we emerged at the entrance of a charming summer theater, with sodded seats, stage, orchestra, and scenery, complete Orange trees, roses and clematis were laced together for a wall in the rear, Hear, said the old man, bounding gayly upon the sage, here we act plays, the summer long What Not with vour patients Si signore Who else And he went on to describe to us the interest they took in it, and the singular power with which the odd idea seized upon their whimsied intellects We had been accompanied, from the first, by a grave, respectablelooking man, whom I had taken for an assistant While we were listening to the description of the first attempt they had made at a play, he started out from the group, and putting himself in an attitude upon the stage, commenced spouting a furious passage in Italian The Count pointed to his forehead and made a sign to us to listen The tragedian stopped at the end of his sentence and after a moments delay, anparently in the expectation of a reply, darted suddenly off and disap peared behind the scenes Poveretto said the Count, it is my best actor Near the theater stood a small chapel, with a circular lawn before it, on which the grass had been lately much trodden It was surrounded partly by a green bank, and here the Count seated us, saying, with a sig nificant look at me, that he would tell us a story I should like to give it to you in his own wordsstill more with his own manner for never was a tale told with more elegance of language, or a more natural and pleasant simplicity But a sheet of wirewove is not a Palcrmitan cavalier, and the cold English has not the warm eloquence of the Italian He laid aside his hat, ordered fruit and wine, and proceeded Almost a year ago I was called upon by a gentleman of a noble physiogomy and address, who inquired very Darticularly into my system, I explained it to him, at his request, and he did me the honor, as you gentlemen have done, to go over my little establishment He seemed satisfied, and, with some hesitation, informed me that he had a daughter in a very desperate state of mental alienation Would I go and see her This is not, you know, gentlemen, a public institution I am crazy, he said it very gravely, quite crazythe first of my family of fools, on this particular themeand this asylum is my toy Of course it is only as the whim seizeg me that I admit a patient, for there are some diseases of the brain, seated in causes with which I wish not to meddle However, I went With the freedom of a physician, I questioned the father, sacrificed to the fury of the Turks that he had renounced all idea of ever returning to his country And your daughter My dear Katinka, my only child, fell ill upon receiving distressing news from the Fanar, and her health and her reason never rallied after It is now several years, and she has lain in bed till her limbs are withered, never having uttered a word, or made a sign which would indicate even con sciousness of the presence of those about her Tcould not get from him that there was any disappointment of the heart at the bottom of it It seemed to be one of those eases of sudden stupefaction to which nervously sensitive minds are liable after a violent burst of grief and I began, before I had seen her, to indulge in bright hopes of starting once more the sealed fountains of thought and feeling We entered Palermo, and passing out at the other gate, stopped at a vinelaced casino on the lip of the bay, scarcely a mile from the city wall It was a pretty, fanciful place, and on a bed in its inner chamber, lay the most poeticallooking creature 1 had ever seen out of my dreams Her head was pillowed in an abundance of dark hair, which fell away from her forehead in masses of glossy curls, relieving, with a striking effect, the wan and transparent paleness of a face which the divinest chisel could scarce have copied in alabaster Dio miohow transcendant was the beauty of that poor girl The Count stopepd and fed his memory a moment with closed eyes upon the image At the first glance I inwardly put up a prayer to the Virgin, and determined, with her sweet help, to restore reason to the fairest of its earthly temples I took up her shadow of a hand, and spreading out the thin fingers in my palm, and as she turned melancholy mad, this one thought preyed so perpetually on her brain and I resolved to delude her into the cheerfulness necessary to her health by a mock ceremony The delight with which she received my promise almost alarmed me I made several delays, with the hope that in the convulsion of her feelings a ray of reason would break through, the darkness bat she took every hour to heart and I found it was inevitable You are sitting, gentlemen, ha the very scene of our read bridal My poor grass has not yet recovered, you see, from the tread of the dancers Imagine the spectacle The chapel was splendidly decorated, and, at the bot tom of the lawn stood three long tables covered with fruit and flowers and sprinkled here and there with bottles of colored water to imitate wine, sherbets, cakes and other such innocent things as I could allow my crazy ones They were all invited Good God said the surgean your lunatics Allall And never was such a sensation produced in a household since the world was created Nothing also was talked of for a week My worst patients seemed to suspend, for a time, their fits of violence I sent to town for quantities of tricksy stuffs, and allowed the women to deck themselves entirely after their own taste You can conceive nothing like the business they made of it Suci apparitions Santa Maria shall I ever forget that Babel The morning came My brides ateendant had dressed her from her Grecian wardrobe and, with her long braid parted over her forehead and hanging back from her shoulders to her very heels, her closefitted jacket of gorgeous velvet and gold, her costly bracelets, and the small spangled slippers upon her unstockinged feet, j she was positively an angelic vision of Tgeneral character of the moat parti of ssleftigaa for V the was Just before the breaking out of the last Greek revolution, and to many of hit kinsmen and friends had been He was a Greek, a prince of the Fanar, who had left his degraded people in their dirty and dangerous suburb at Constantinoplet to forget oppression and meannesa ioa voluntary exile It and restraint She would have broken her large, wandering eyes toward me I felt that the Blessed Mary had heard my prayer, You shall see her well again, I said confidently Quite overcome, the Prince Ghika fell on the bed and embraced his daughters knees in an agony of tears You shall not have the seccatura, gentlemen, of listening to the recital of all ray tedious experiments for the first month or two I brought her to my house upon a litter, placed her in a room filled with every luxury of the East, and suffered no one to apporach her except two Greek attendants to whose services she was accustomed I succeeded in partially restoring animation to her benumbed limbs by friction, and made her sensible of music, and of the perfumes of the East, which I burned in a pastillelamp in her chamber Here, however, my skill was baffled I could neither amuse or vex Her mind was beyond me After trying every possible experiment, as it seemed to me, my invention was exhausted, and I despaired She occupied, however, much of my mind Walking up and down yonder orange alley one sweet morning about two months ago, I started off suddenly to my chamber with a new thought You would have thought me the maddest of my household, to have seen me, gentlemen I turned out by the shoulders the regaaza, who was making my bed, washed and scented myself as if for a ball, covered my white hairs with a handsome brown wig, a relic of my coxcombical days, rouged faintly and, with white gloves, and a most youthful appearance altogether, sought the chamberof my patient She was lying with her head in the hollow of her thin arm, and as I entered her dark eyes rested full upon me I approached, kissed her hand with a respectful gallantry, and in the tenderest tones of which my dam aged voice was susceptible, breathed into her ear a succession of delicatelyturned compliments to her beauty She lay as immovable as marble, but I had not calculated upon the ruling passion of the sex in vain A thin flush on her cheek, and a flutter in her temple, only perceptible to my practiced eye, told me that the words had found their way to her longlost consciousness I waited a few moments and then took up a ringlet that fell negligently over her hand, and asked permission to sever it from the glossy mass in which the arm under her head was literally buried She clutched her fingers suddenly upon it, and glacing at me with the fury of a roused tigress, exclaimed in a husky whisper, Lasciate me, signore I obeyed her, and, as I left the rooms I thanked the Virgin in my heart It was the first word she had spoken for years The next day, having patched myself up more successfully, in my leisure, in a disguise so absolute that not one even oi my pets knew me as I passed through the corridor, I bowed myself up once more to her bedside She lay with her hands clasped over her eyes and took no notice of my first salutation I commenced with a little raillery, and, under cover of finding fault with her atttiude, contrived to pay an adroit compliment to the glorious orbs she was hiding from admiration She lay a moment or two without motion, but the muscles of her slight mouth stirred just perceptibly, and presently she drew her fingers quickly apart, and looking at me with a most confiding expression in her pale features, a full sweet smile broke like sudden sunshine through her lips I could have wept for joy I 30on acquired all the influence over her I could wish She made an effort, at my request, to leave her bed, and in a week or two walked with me in the garden Her mind, however, seemed to have capacity but for one thought, and she soon began to grow unhappy, and would weep for hours I endeavored to draw from her the cause, but she only buried her face in my bosom and wept more violently, till one day, sobbing out her broken words almost inarticulately, I gathered her meaning She was grieved that I did not marry her Poor girl soliloquised the Count, after a brief pause, she was only true to her womans nature Insanity had but removed the vett ofxujtora her heart before she had betrayed such a secret, with her reason I was afraid at last she would go beauty Her countenance was thoughtful, but her step was unusually elastic, and a small red spot, like a rose leaf under the skin, blushed through the alabaster paleness of her cheek My maniacs received her with shouts of admiration The women were kept from her at first with great difficulty, and it was only by drawing their attention V their own gaudier apparel that their anxiety to touch her was distracted The men looked at her as she passed along like a Queen of Love and Beauty, and their wild, gleaming eyes and quickened breaths showed the effect of such loveliness upon the unconcealed feelings I had multiplied my attendants, scarce knowing how the excitement of the scene might affect them but the interest of the occasion, and the impos ing decencies of dress and show, seemed to overcome them effectually The most sane guest at a bridal could scarce have behaved with more pro priety The ceremony was performed by an elderly friend of mine, the physician to my establishment Old as I am, gentlemen, I could have wished that ceremony to have been in earn est As she lifted up her large, liquid eyes to heaven, and swore to be true to me till death, I forgot my manhood, and wept If I had been youngerma, che porcherai After the marriage the wfrnen were invited to salute the bride, and then all eyes in my natural party at once turned to the feast I gave the word Fruits, cakes and sherbets disappeared with the rapidity of magic, and then the music struck up from the shrubbery, and they dancedas you see by the grass I committed the bride to her attendants at sunset, but I could with difficulty tear myself away On the following clay I called at her door, but she refused to see me The next day and the next, I could gain no admittance without exerting my authority On the fourth morning I was permitted to enter She had resumed her usual dress and was sad, calm and gentle She said little, but seemed lost in thought to which she was unwilling or unable to give utterance She has never spoken of it since Her mind, I think, has nearly recovered its tone, but her memory seems confused I scarce think she remembers her illness and its singular effects, as more than a troubled dream On all the common affairs of life she seems quite sane, and I drive out with her daily, and have taken her once or twice to the opera Last night we were strolling on the Marina when your frigate came into the bay, and she proposed to join the crowd and go off to hear the music We went on board, as you know and now, if you choose to pay your respects to the lady who refused to waltz with you take another sip of your sherbet and wine and come with me To say more would be trespassing, perhaps, on the patience of my read ers, but certainly on my own feelings I have described this singular cas of madness and its cure, because I think it contains in itself the seeds of nruch philosophy on the subject It is only within a very few years that these poor sufferers have been treated otherwise than as the possessors of incarnate devils, whom it was necessary to scourge out with unsparing cruelty If this literal statement of a cure in the private madhouse of the eccentric Conte , of JPalerma, in duce the friends of a single unfortunate maniac to adopt a kind and rational system for his restoration, the writer will have been repaid for bring ing circumstances before the public which have since had much to do with his own

was so light that no figures are available for that year to compare with the year 1928 Every county in the less than one per cent area in Michigan where com pulsory cleanup was not attempted shows an increase of infestation while in the more heavily infested areas where enforced cleanup was the rule and where the farmers cooperated wholeheartedly there was a big decrease and the decrease was so great as to reduce the the state The results as a whole have some his farm in Greenwood that is patterned after the kind used by the 100 full grown birds after the first week and at the end of each

industry has been an important one in past years without anyone knowing to what extent it was being carried on Previous to the issuing of licenses this fall, few persons have ever realized that more than 20,000 citizens plan to generalave7agV of trap muskrats on land where they do not live The office force of the department of conservation knows bet ter than anyone else just how great the demand was for permits, as all applications were made to the main office Besides the mail applications which hour period without feed Epsom salts at the rate of one pound per 100 adult birds should be given in onefourth the usual feed of wet mash within a few hours after the feed of tobaccotreated mash has been given Treatment should then be repeated in about 10 days in order to insure the removal of all of the large roundworms that infest the intestines If possible the flock should be shut in coops during The treatment and for 24 hours after the Epsom salts treatment All droppings should then be cleaned up and burned and the coops thoroughly cleaned and disinfected Reinfestation cannot then occur, because the eggs are picked up from the infested runs and coops Moving the birds to clean runs altogether is the ideal practice, but oftentimes this can not be accomplished because of limited equipment or grounds Its easy when you know your stuff, says Governor John H Trum bull of Connecticut,

soil is black and rich, though it has been in use for many centuries The farmers know the value of their land and rhey cherish every foot of it They keep It built up by constant fertilizing, malchlng, composting, cultivation and crop rotation But what great odds they have to labor against Our American farmers would hardly have such farms as a gift Here we come to a little farm where a man Is plowing with u yoke of oxen and a very crude plow, just as in Bible times Again we see an ox and a cow yoked together, for tlti farmer cant afford a pair of oxen There goes a man who has borrowed a plow of a neighbor, and it is so light that he is carrying it on his shoulder As we view the slopes from some height, the country looks like u piece of patchwork The farms in tie bin valleys of course are much heller than the hill farms Cow paths and sheep paths make a network against the velvety graygreen of the pastures Sheepfolds hilt f rails, and small barns of stone, are found on the sum mits, to furnish the sheep protection nt night or in bad weather See tJ the shepherds carry a blue nuireia strappeij to their back in CLS U storms Women and children are helping to bring in the hay Often it is dune up in canvas so it can be loaded on the back of a donkey The tieids are inclosed by walls of stone or fences made of saplings or twisted twigs Pathfwaler Magazine you would care for that Ton
