on the Bible, and gave us much food for thought, as he spoke of the subversive influences at work to undermine the Bible and what it stands for, and to substitute atheism throu ghout the world Many points were brought up in our class hour showing the difficulty of attaining to Christs standard in keeping his New Commandment, and yet the value of this new law of love We are finding the lessons

City, IowaA mysterious Santa Claus whose identity was revealed only at his death early in 1937, will be remembered here each Christmas as one of Sioux Citys most beloved characters His name was Ed T Kearney, a real estate man and banker who brought Yuletide joy to hundreds with anonymous contributions to inmates of prisons and missions His gifts were always accompanied by poorly written letters

character of Mickey Finn was created early in the 1900s when Mr Kearney was president of a bank at Jackson, Neb He met many bankers from over the country at conventions and when he started his Santa Claus role in the person of Mickey Finn, he simply wrote his banker friends in other cities and obtained their cooperation in sending the checks and keeping his identity secret WHAT to EAT and WHY C Houston Goudiw Asks How Do You Got Your Vitamin D Relates Need for and Sources Of This Necessary Vitamin By C HOUSTON GOUDISS T HERE, is scarcely a mother of a young baby today who has not fit one time or another been told to give her child codliver oil Perhaps she does not know this substance must be given to the baby for the vitamin D that it contains But she has heard that there is something in codliver oil which makes it valuable to the babys health A generation ago, codliver oil was given to children in the winter time, to build them Ancient Holly Still Spreads Holiday Cheer In homes throughout America this Christmas the holly plant will carry on its ageold duty of spreading Yuletide spirit, a custom that dates back to the pagan tribes of continental Europe Originally the holly grew wild in the United States over a range from Massachusetts to Missouri and south to Florida and Texas But too much harvesting in northeastern United States has destroyed much of the natural growth Today most holly is grown from Norfolk, Va, to Florida within 50 or 60 miles of the Atlantic coast, and westward in the Gulf region to Louisiana Current popularity of the holly is a continuation of the custom of the Druid feasts which honored the mistletoe and holly in pagan rites In Europe the tribes under Roman rule sent holly branches to eaqh other as evidence of good will Homes and churches were decorated with holly laden with crimson berries when the pagans celebrated the feast of Saturnalia, the turning on of the sun Yuletide, the feast made to the Celtic sun god, Yaioul, finally became the celebration of Christmas, and the holly tree, known as the holy tree, became the sacred tree for decorations at our Christmas festivals A holly does not bear berries until it is five years old Before that time the male and female trees cannot be told apart There are more than 300 species of the plant, all of them native to the temperate and tropical regions of both hemispheres Only the American and English holly trees have rich green leaves These are outlined with sharp spines or teeth, and the fruiting branches have round crimson berries ILCHESTER BADOER FEAST ILCHESTEK, ENGLAND One of the strangest surviving Christmas customs is the Ilchetttr badger feast, started by poachers in Norman times Soon before the feast the village lads catch a badger, wM and dress it On Christmas eve it is strung on a spit over a huge fire in the inn When it is ready the tfarty attacks it with fingersno cut lery is allowed Singing and toasting accompany the feast, which at tracts practically all the villagers and nearby farmers up after colds or various other respiratory illnesses It was not until 1921, however, that a long series of painstaking investigations, terminat ing in the discovery of vitamin D, made it clear that codliver oil is valuable as a source of vitamin D, and also why this vitamin is essential in the diet of growing children, as well as adults Discovery of Vitamin D After years of patient work and many thrilling and dramatic ex periments, seven forms of vitamin D have been revealed by science And scientists have also solved the mystery of bow such widely separated factors as codliver oil sunlight a diet that Is rich in, and carefully balanced with calcium and phosphorus and ultraviolet light, all can perform the same service for the body Readers of this column may have observed that the discovery of a number of the vitamins came about chiefly through the efforts of investigators to discover a method of treating or curing obscure nutritional diseases In most in stances, however, carefully controlled laboratory experiments played their part in reaching the ultimate goal after some clue had been found as to what the mysterious substance might be that helped to control a baffling nutritional disease The discovery of vitamin D was no exception Vitamin D and Rickets Vitamin D is associated intimately with the prevention and cure of rickets, the most devastat1 ing nutritional disease of children in temperate climates Indeed, it is the moderate, and in some cases the small amount of sunshine in the temperate zone that accounts pafctially for the presence of rickets Historians have given us reason to believe that this disease may have existed in England even before the Roman conquest Certainly it appeared in a serious form, both in England and in other North European countries, in the Seventeenth century In fact, early literature refers to it as the English disease, and the early attempts to fathom its causes were written in Latin by English and Dutch doctors during the 1600s In rickets, the childs head grows large and out of proportion to the body, while the leg and arm bones, and in severe cases even the ribs, are bent and twisted out of their normal shape Need for Calcium and Phosphorus The two principal minerals required for constructing the bones and teeth are calcium, obtained chiefly from milk, cheese and green leafy vegetables, and phosphorus, found in generous amounts in eggs, whole grain cereals and dried legumes But one of the things that made it so difficult for scientists to determine the cause of rickets was the fact that appar ently well fed children, who had plenty of calcium and phosphorus, frequently developed the disease Mystery of CodLiver Oil Codliver oil had been used for many years because of its supposedly tonic or building properties, when it was observed that regular doses of codliver oil not only cured rickets in chil dren, but also cured the corresponding disease in adults, called osteomalacia, In which the bones become soft as the calcium and phosphorus already deposited in them are withdrawn and excreted Fat end Vitamin D One of the strangest paradoxes to the scientists in their early investigations was the fact that while codliver oil appeared to cure rickets, another substance high in fatbutter fat, did not More research work was necessary before it was discovered that while butter was rich in vitamin A, codliver oil contained two vitamins, one of which was later named vitamin D Effect of Sunlight More work was necessary and it took years of patient effort be fore science unraveled the mystery of how sunlight could have the same apparent effect in pre venting rickets as codliver oil Once nutritionists understood how sunlight acting on a fatty substance in the skin could produce vitamin D, however, it was not difficult to carry the process a step further and learn how to fortify foods with a satisfactory content of vitamin D Today we have at our disposal irradiated milk, or milk to which a vitamin D concentrate has been added Margarine, too, has been enriched not only with vitamin D, but with vitamin A so that this moderatepriced spread for bread has been made an effective vita min carrier Natural Food Sources of Vitamin D The richest natural sources of vitamin D are the fishliver oils, including the liveroil of the tuna, sword fish, rock fish, salmon, halibut, mackerel, cod and haddock The body oils of many fish also furnish substantial amounts That accounts for the fact that canned salmon has been regarded as such a splendid food in the diet of chil dren and adults It is not only good source of protein end of energy values, but it contains substantial amounts of the minerals, calcium, phosphorus and iodine, and has been found to be an unusually good food source of vita min D Egg yolk contains small x amounts of vitamin D, and when eaten regularly, the quantity is, enough to have a significant effect in the diet of children Vitamin 0 Requirements So important is vitamin O considered, that the United States Childrens Bureau advises that codliver oil or some other form of this vitamin be supplied to all babies, beginning at the age of two or three weeks Mothers should be guided by the advice of their physician in de termining when to start the use of a vitamin D preparation and what quantities to give But if they want to give their babies the blessing bestowed on them by the scientists who discovered vitamin D, they must not overlook this important substance As guardians of the health of both children and adults, mothers should see to it that vitamin D is supplied regularly through the use of eggs and salmon irradiated foods, ard those fortified with vitamin D and if necessary, fishliver oils or concentrates Questions Answered Miss G M LYes, it is true that sweet potatoes contain a small amount of protein In fact, their protein is composed of four amino acids known to be essential to nutrition Some of the protein may be lost if the potato is boiled, but it is entirely preserved when the potato is cooked by dry heat Mrs M BBoth cooked lentils and baked kidney beans contain over 20 per cent of carbohydrate Low carbohydrate vegetables include cabbage, celery, cauliflower, kale, lettuce and spinach WNUC Houston Qoudiss1938tt Dressy Midwinter Fashions

thing, long in preparation, happened next day to Mrs Sentry She might, she thought afterward, have guessed what was to come might have foreseen it But she did not Obedient to her promise to Falkran, she went to the prison to see her husband She had been awake most of the night, yet she rose in the morning in an almost peaceful mlga and when she met Mr Sentry it was composedlyThey spoke commonplaces for while, till she said at last, her tone curiously gentle My testimony will follow yours, Arthur His eyes suddenly widened, as though under the shock of an actual blow You Youre going to testify I must tell them you had no cause to fear me He cried passionately Oh, dont, Ellen Its bad enough for me Falkran cant ask you to do that She reminded him gravely r,It is true, you know When you came to me, long ago And she said, almost contritely I might have been more generous than I was butI was young then, not so wise as I am now I gave you what I could and Ive never been sorry Only, I am sorry now it was not more He said hopelessly Falkran insisted that I mustsay those things, Ellen But not you Please dont Icant command but I beg you And he said in a low tone I was crazy last summer, Ellen I must have been But there had never been any otherif you can believe me She started to say steadily that of course she believed him and she was astonished to find that she could not speak Her throat was full She rose in a sort of panic, fighting for words And suddenly pain seized her every part, every fiber, bone and blood, muscle and sinew, nerve and brain She was a burning torch of pain For something in him, in his word, in his tone, had, incredibly, waked something long asleep in her She stood above him, leaning down, racked and shaken not for herself but for him, yearning over him, yearning to protect him, yearning to hold him close and hard She fought to speak she muttered, Ar thur Then the guard touched her arm warningly She realized that the man had spoken, even though she had not heard And she felt her cheek burn bright and she thought, bewildered, still unbelieving I love him WhyI love him Obeying the officer she went toward the door yet from the door looked back Arthur was on his feet, pale, wondering She smiled at him richly She went out and away, and felt her self torn in two parts by this separation from him The thought that Arthur had been loyal to her through twenty barren years filled her with a clamorous grief, a hopeless despair She might have given so much, and had so much bliss in that surrender might have forgotten the pride she had nursed with such blind tenacity, and been herself the richer for forgetting In court Monday morning she found that now she could be hurt and feel the pain When the Assistant District Attorney, Mr Weldon began the questioning, she understood that Bob Flood had delegated this duty because Arthur had been his friend Mr Weldon was a swart young man with thin lips and a lean pointed jaw that thrust forward like a challenging finger He began so quietly Now Mr Sentry, you told the Court on Saturday that you killed Miss Wines By accident, yes, sir But the gun was in your hand Yes You had cocked it Yes You pulled the trigger It jarred off Oh, it jarred off I see Is this the gun Yes Cock it, please Now, without putting your, finger on the trigger, pound it on the railing olthe wfaMfc ibex till it Jars off It is not toadMrs Sentry wauid alwajt remenv btr Arthur, pounding the gun butt on the rail of the witness stand for a leng time, harder and hardeY, bruis ing bis hand, perspiring As ihtww minable time, with Mr Weldon asking Has it goat off yet Try fate Till finally, relenting, taking the gun from Arthur, hand, he said, atffl gently Now Mr tjnry, your band Js bruised, Jrour knuckles bleeding, you have pounded it as bard as you can, but ft ha not font off SI Ho Then perhaps you did putt the trigger that night must hajfLrtAflciABfelteVA Arthur said I suppose so He was wiping his knuckles with his handkerchief Mrs Sentry could see small red spots upon the linen, thought he should use iodine lest the wounds become infected She heard Weldon say So Miss Wines came to you for help or mon ey or advice, three weeks before you shot her, and you sent her away Yes Mrs Sentry sometimes, in her charitable work, helped unfortunate young girls, did she not Yes Why didnt you send Miss Wines to Mrs Sentry before you shot her It did not occur to me to da so Did it occur to you that if you did so, Mrs Sentry might misinterpret your interest in Miss Wines No Mrs Sentry would have known that if there had been anything between Miss Wines and me, I would have, told her Mrs Sentry looked straight ahead, proudly, her head high She felt all the staring eyes that turned to 1 didnt see her till after the shot Now Mr Sentry, you saw Miss Wines three weeks before you shot her Mrs Sentry could no longer hear all that they said She heard only you shot her you shot her you shbt her as a tag to every question She heard three weeks later, you shot her And then three weeks before you shot her She saw, at a final question, Arthurs lips move, but no sound emerged she could see that he was trembling, felt her own limbs tremble as though in sympathy It seemed to her that she suffered in her own flesh the torment Arthur here endured The protective numb ness which had prevented her from feeling her own suffering could not now save her from feeling his Mr Weldon suggested, I did not hear what you said Arthur cried wretchedly, furiousjgtfli wbaaaf Now Mr Sentry, You Saw Miss Wines Three Weeks Before You Shot Her ward her like the points of lances, from every side So you refused to help Miss Wines before you shot her Yes Why I was afraid Oh, yes I remember, you told us Youre a very fearful man, are you not Just as Uriah Heep was a very umble man Are you also a humble man, Mr Sentry Not particularly On the contrary, youre rather proud, arent you No Arent you proud of your honorable ancestry Well, yes Of your old established business Yes Of your personal success, your social standing Yes Of your family Yes And yet you say youre not proud In that sense I suppose I am In what sense are you not, Mr Sentry Wellhaughty Oh, youre not haughty No Mr Weldon nodded Now you said a while ago that you were afraid and that because you were afraid, you did not help Miss Wines before you shot her Yes Were you responsible for the fact that she so desperately needed help from someone No But even though you were innr cent, you were afraid Yes I want to be sure we understand you, Mr Sentry I asked you a moment since whether it occurred to you that if you sent Miss Wines to Mrs Sentry, Mrs Sentry might misinterpret your interest in the girl And you said, no You said that Mrs Sentry would have known that if there were anything between you and Miss Wines you would have told her Is that correct CTtlWShall I ask the stenographer to read your testimony I said that, yes Sd ff yw,hidjfeeen guilty with Miss Wines you would not have been afraid but being innocent, you were afraid Is that it Yes Thank you You will pardon my perplexity , Fanocnt ptdp art ofta vSo you want to leave it that Miss Wines came to appeal to you for V or tor help, ifld she wept, JflSiat correct Iy, Will you stop saying over and over that I shot her You did, didnt you Yes By accident Ive told you so But you dont have to keep repeating it like a parrot Do my questions disturb you, Mr Sentry You keep saying I shot her Very well, suppose I try to avoid using the phrase which disturbs you Mr Sentry, are you a hottempered man No But you Never mind me Would it make you angry now if I suggested that Miss Wines angered you just beforethis fatal accident happened to her No, it wouldnt Werent you angry at her just beforeshe died No But someone had just bumped you heavily into the wall Didnt that make you angry I suppose so Were you angry when you pulled the trigger I suppose so Any man Were not asking any man but you, Mr Sentry You were angry, and you pulled the trigger, and accidentally, of coursepointed the gun at Miss Wines as you did so I didnt even know she was there , But you knew someone was there Of course When you pulled the trigger, did you mean to shoot whoever was there No But you fired in anger No Put it this way You were an gry when you fired Yes At what mark did you aim No mark I couldnt see anything This man who bumped you He bumped you into the wall Yes Which wall The righthand wall, as you come up the back stairs, opposite my of fice door Then he was on your left Yes You knew where he was Yes Did you shoot at him No You shot straight ahead along the corridor, didnt you Yes Did you hear the testimony in this court that when youpardon me that at the moment of Miss Wines death, the pistol was touching her coat I tell you it was an accident Did you hear that testimony Yes Pressing against her coat Yes When, by accident, in the dark, the bullet emerged from the muz zle of the gun you were holding and smashed through Miss Wines heart, did you feel the muzzle of your pistol touch anything No Press against anything No AfterThe shot, what did you hear A man running down the stairs Didnt hear Miss Wines cry out, or fall No And you say you didnt see her No How far had you come from the head of the stairs before you shot Miss Wines By accident So you say I was about opposite my office door And yet the muzzle of the pisto was touching her Mr Sentry retorted, So you say Mrs Sentry winced for him That effort to be nonchalant, derisive that echoing of Mr Weldons own words had about it something pitiful, like the trembling lower lip of a hurt child trying to be brave Even Mr Weldon seemed to feel this he spoke almost gently Pardon me, Mr Sentry Not so I say So the expert evidence says Yet her body lay beyond your office door Mrs Sentrys senses blurred again the world was dizzy chaos Question and answer ran together, conjuring up tragic details which blended into a sinister whole The huddled body Arthur, turning it over, picking up the dead girls hat, putting it over her face Taking off his glove to feel for her pulse putting it on again for fear of fingerprints Mrs Sentry seemed to herself for a while to be in that bare, dingy corridor outside her husbands office that naked, window less place like a tomb To be there with him, and the dead girl on the floor and he was crouching, looking fearfully over his shoulder, peering, darting in stooped posture cravenly Mercilessly Mr Weldon made him go over and over every detail of the scene till she saw Arthurs face streaming, heard Mr Weldon say I see you are flushed, perspiring Do you find it warm, Mr Sentry Would you like a window opened TO BE CONTINUED Bones of Soldier of the War of 1812 Recall Epidemic in Detroit Army Camp The pestilence which broke out among the American troops stationed at Detroit in the War of 1812 was recalled recently by the unearthing of part of the skeleton of a man at Fort street and Cass avenue The bones were discovered just three feet beneath the sidewalk at the northeast corner of the inter section by a police signal crew which was digging a hole for a traffic light standard, says the Detroit News The sit was just west of old Fort Shelby and was the scene of a temporary cantonment for the troops of Gen William Henry Harrison Lack of sanitation was the principal cause for the epidemic which brought death to nearly 700 of Harrisons small army, according toThe Story of Detroit, written by the late George B Catlin, librarian of the Detroit News r Lack of burying space in the citys cemeteries and fear of the spread many of the dead within the confines of the cantonment The epidemic, which closely resembled Asiatic cholera broke out largely because the ground surrounding the encampment was marshy Poor drainage conditions made proper sanitation difficult, thus exposing the troops to the rapid spread of the disease The situation was further complicated by a shortage of food With hardly enough provisions available for the townsfolk, the quartering of General Harrisons troops soon produced famine conditions which threatened to defeat the American campaign in this district ,, Revere silof the disease caused the burialofver is equal to the best plate of Revere Silver Revere was the greatest early American silversmith At nineteen he took over his fathers business Most of the Revere silver in existence wss either of his manufacture or made under his personal supervision The design

Wyman, M. S. M. D., of Detro presented a valuable paper on **Tbe Medical Treatment of the Pauper," in which the subject was carefully an;' exhaustively treated. In speaking 01 the idiot* «u>d feeble-minded who form so large a proportion of our dependent population, he said: "About many o our poor houses are a large number o dependent people whose mental powersare too weak to enable them to earn then living in the world. They are seldou under the care of the doctor, and when Dr. Tulcott Describes that Has* Stricken Men. A tali, thin man seated on a long bench on a pretty lawn in front of a | large brick building.

In some counties in th s stale medical officers have trained many of these feeble-minded patients to care for such cases as the one I1 have cited, so that hand-cuffs and cells areas unnecessary as they are inhuman." By a recent decision of the United States circuit court of Wisconsin, women in that state have a ri^ht to vote in all city elections. About three years ago a bill was introduced in the , state senate giving women the ri^ht to vote "at all elections pertaining to school matters." In the customary '- slip-shod way the bill was hurried through both houses under the impression that it simply authorized wbmen to vote for school officers, a measure which nearly everybody approved of. The bill was then submftte i to the people and having received a majority 3f tin votes east became a law.

The law cannot be repealed except bv a popular vote and as the women have a right to vote on the question they have the matter entirely in their own hands. The women suffragists of Wisconsin think very highly of the word "pertainmg" which has given i.hem their victory. by the overwrought Imagination of the excited paretic He is a maker of worlds—uot for financial purposes, but merely for the sake of employment He forgets familiar names—evqn his own. Oeoassioually a person in this stage becomes a kleptomaniac and is unusually sly and cunning. Thou ho passed into the chronic stage, which is marked by a steady exaggeration of all the physical indications and a gradual subsidence of the delusions which have been cherished. An unsteadiness of gait is now pronounced; there is tremulousness of Jips tongue, a hesitancy of speech, and tho face loses its lines of intelligence and assumes a fat, flabby, expressionless contour, and in manner and speech there is a marked decadence of physical and mental powers. The appetite and thirst at this stage become enormous, and an increase in Uesh is noticeable. The progress of the chronic state is at last interrupted Vy convulsions, and the paretic loses ground rapidly;' The mind fails and the conditions of dementia supervene. The physical strength wanes and the body emaciates. The skin breaks out in eruptions. "Then," said D r / T a l c o t t , "the patient takes to his bed, and this is followed by bed soNjfl.

"What aro the causes of the disease?" "Hyper-stimulation of the brain and nervous system by various means, chiefly hard drinking, excessive indul- | genco, and over-application to business of an absorbing and exciting nature. There are few casos where rum, women, or overwork, oue ore all combined, do not figure largely as exciting euases." paresis yield up its hold. It is a deep seated, far-reaching, intractable scourge, which fastens its malignant fangs upon the brains of its victims and, unlike Tiny other serious disease, jit never yields." "Is it not generally spoken of as •softening of the brain?'" "That is the vulgar term applied to paresis. It is known under various names, the most common of which are: General paresis, general progressive paralvsis, general paralysis of tho insane, mania de grandanr and dementia paralyticus. Tho latter term might be more strictly applied to the last itage of the disease, while the others aro appropriate, through all its stages." "What a<*e tho stages of paresis?" "First/ the irritable stage; second, tho welkletined or stage of hective delusions of grandeur; third, the stage of subsidence, or that of subacute or chronie— mauv - a n d fourth, the stage of dementia, failure, and .death." 'Does this disease attack both men and women?" V "Males largely predominate. The nineteen cases treated here were all males. In England the male paretics predominate over females as live to one. In this country there are probably ten male to one famal paretic." oA\ the forces of life appear to bo exhausted. Death comes at last through Utter exhaustion. But with the last -articulate breath of life tho dying man, corrugating his countenance into a ghastly smile, will reply to your inquiry as tb how he feels with the stock expression: "First rate." "And once stricken with paresis, a patient never recovers?" queried the reporter. "I beleve that no well-authenticated ease, where it lias been fully developed and where no doubt could exist as to the diagnosis, has been placed on record as fully recovered and hus continued so for five successive years. The patient often appears to mend, and will, in fact, go for months with very few of the outward signs of the disease, but sooner or later the storm which has experienced a temporary lull will rise again and move on with resistless fury.'' After passing through the chronic stage," continued the doctor, "the patient's strength aud physical health mav be long preserved by abundant outdoor exercise."

"General paresis is generally found in the robust and over dissipated man of early prime or middle age. With strong bodies and active, even though uncnltivatcd, brains, these men seize with consuming avidity upon the hard yfork of tho sinful pleasures of the world. That they break down in the middle prime of life, is due simply and Bolely to tho consumption of wasting of both principal and interest of their nerve capital." Dr. Talcott then went on to say that general 4mresis_jvas Ju^JntelLigently described by a French phvsiclamDrr Calmell, who. in 1826, investigated the subject. It is, then, a disease known to the medical profession for only half a century. Doubtless it existed long previous to its recognition, but since that time it has steadily increased in frequency, particularly in this country, aud is a nervous plague peculiar to the rush of those modem high-presurc times. It is particularly prevalent in seaport towns. The disease Vfas traced through all its stages by Dr. Talcott thus: The first sUge is markedly unusual irritab.lity. / T h i s occurs /to a deeded degree, tsyfen though the person affected had been good-natured or jovial previously. He seems pro-occupied in his thoughts, even to abstraction, and then again he is huvried, nervous, and fidgety.

If the person is in a rest* loss mood he will pass unheeded a friendly salutation, not from a deposition to be rude, but because in his mind ho is eagerlv pursuing some train of thoaght, which precludes all consideration of others. Even in this early stage of paresis ho will be engaged in "greater business projects than ever before and will spread his financial canvass to its fullest capacity. In th s particular, under the influence of approaching disease, ho differs from tho ordinary bus ness man, who, though bold, will manifest at least ordinary prudence in the affairs of life. "At this juncture the paretic informs save the shattered fragments of a wreck. People must refrain from those formidable dissipations whoso feet tako hold on destruction, whose bite is like that of an adder, and whose final result is a hopeless chamber and deathbed within the walls of an insane asylum. "The cares and nflTctions of ordinary life, the affl ctions of disease, the hereditary weakness which come down to us from our ancestors, all bring to institutions for the insane, their quota of suffering victims; but many of these may be in time returned to renewed hoalttrand; a life of-ttsefttlness. &ut-forhim who, through alcoholic stimulants and excosses, progresses to paresis, there aro no more cheering words than those engraved upon tho portaVs of Dante's "Inferno."—"Who enters here leaves hope behind." ~ - How They Make Farmers in Denmark. Young men are apprenticed to the best farmers all over the kingdom for two or thieo years under tho oversight of tho Royal Agricultural Society. They work for good farmers for one year as learners, receiving a small sum besides their board and lodging. At the end of a year the apprentice is removed to a farm in a distr ct where a different kind of agricultural books at tho outset which become his property upon the com plot on of the three years. The apprentices report to the society at intervals, and from these reports and larsiiiy even to a I ulhut ifteonls where they havo worked. the society judges of their progress and grants diplomas accordingly. The young men thus get thorough knowledge of all practical farming, but they have to work for it, as thev are ai hard labor from 4 a. m. until 7 p. m., except tho meal hours. Tho socoty has started the system of apprenticing young mon in the best dairies for throe months instead of three years. Nearly 1,()00 youths have thus been educated nnd received diplomas. The system has far outgrown tho society's control, and notf nearly every large farm and dairy has s e v e n ! apprentices nccopted and trained by pr.vato agreement— Fmn and Home. ttaraaifft>» R«colleetlou of «h« •wad- Is* Xtffbttngata'a Tint Appaaraaoa In Tbto Country—A Famous Mil: w a u k a e Oricantaatlon. "I was not surprised to hear of Jonny Liud's death," said Phioeas Taylor Barnuw, the prince of showmen, when called upon by a <Afew York Herald reporter. He received a private dispatch from Otto GokUchmidt, Jonny Liud's husband, Mortou (Jrarden*. London, England, announcing the once-famous nightingale's demise, and at once cabled a reply, iu which he said: "I, who knew the peerleBs Jenny Lind in private life as well as In public, as u woman and as an artist, appreciate the gruatnesM of your loss. Accept tho sympathy of your old friend." "I brought Jenny Liud to this ooUntry at a great risk," cont nued the veteran shomau, "and in spite of many predictions of failure and financial disaster. She had, as everyone almost knows, a great reputation before she .came here aud she was, moreover, voty rich—worth at least $1,000,000. Htor success is a matter of history. "1 remember my first meeting with the famous songstress. It was on Sunday morning, Sept 1. 1850. on board the steamer Atlantic, at quarantine, where I/slept all night in tho residence of Dr. A. S. Doane, then the health officer. " A f t e r a few moments' conversation with her she asked me whore I had heard her sing. 'I never had the pleasure of seeing you before iu my life,' I replied. 'How is it possible that you dared risk so much money on a person whom you never heard sing?" she answered, in surprise, i risked it on your reputation, which, in musical matters, 1 would much rather have than my own judgment,' I answered. Although 1 relied upon Jenny Liud's reputation as a great musical artiste, 1 also took largely into my estimate of her success with all classes of the Ameriean public her character for extraordinary benevolence and generosity. Without tins peculiarity iu her disposition I mwer would have dared make the engagement whleh I did. "Jennv Liud's character for benevolence became so generally known that her door was besot by persons asking charity, and sho was" in receipt, while in the principal cities, of numerous letters all on the same subject. I know of many instances in wh.ch she ^ave sums of money to applicants van in" from $20, $50, and $500 to $1,000, and once she gave $5,000 to a Swedish friend. Jennie was in the habit of attending church whenever she could do so without attracting notice. She always preserved 'her nationality and always attended Swedish churches whenever they could be found. She irave $1,000 to a Swedish church in Chicago. While in Baltimore my daughter Caroline, who was mistaken for Jenny, went to church and sang in tho choir. What an exquisite singer!' •Heavenlv sounds!' 'I never heard the like!' nnd similar expressions wore whispered through tho church. "Jenny Lind weut into ecstasies over Daniel Webster during her reception at Washington, at. which tho president, members of the cabinet, and others were pivM-nt. I had previously introduced her to Webster in Hoston. He was e;tiTir<l away fyy her singing. At the row pi on he groetod her by rising, drawing himself up to his full height and making a profound how. 'Ah, Mr. Barnum,' she exclaimed enthusiastically, 'that is a .man! I nevor before have seen such a man.' "I remember very distinctly how Jenny played a joke on me. or, rather, taught me a lesson. We were, 1 think, in Philadelphia. Mam ladies called to be introdneed to hor. but Hhe preferred not to see them, as sho looked upon them as curiosity-seekers. A lady friend of mine called, and after much argument I succeeded in introducing her. Jennv laughingly said, T shall be delighted to see her.' But her manner and face suddenly changed when she snid-she-did- not know -what-to-sayto ray friend, and expressed the hope that I would refrain in -future from introducing those seeking a chance to shako 'Jenny' by the hand. And I did so. '""x "Afnnny incident, involving Horace Greelev, occurred upon Jenny's arrival in New York. She was received atthe Irving house that stood at the northwest corner of Broadway and Chambers street. Greeley came over with his trousers tucked into his boots and wearing his proverbial light-colored overcoat. He started to remove his overcoat, when a friend said: 'Don't; it will destroy your idenity.1 So hu wore it to the room where Jenny was, and after an introduction she said: •! have heard so much about that overcoat that I wouldn't known you without i t "Jenny L'nd gavo tho ninety.five concerts while in this country, and the r«cnlpt4 Goldsmith.* Q»mm mmfem^St pianist" < •'"•' r- ' Tha death of J w » y Ii*»V * * • *W* waukte Earning rKwwu^riraoaUa to the minds ot old settlers tha J Lind club, a Milwaukee sootaJ or aation which went out of emiateaoe more than a quarter of a century a{ro, but which at one time bad an lnnaaaee that was supposed to extend throughout the state. On Sept 20, ISM, tha steamer Empire Bute left Milwaukee for Buffalo. A party of nine gentlemen got aboard here with the intentioa of going east to hear the Swedish nightingale sing in Castle Garden, and on that trip they resolved themselves into the Jenny Lind club. The club was composed of wlilgs and democrats and men who were prominent in professional and business oirclas of thai day. The party consisted of Judge Levi Hubbell, George H. Walker. Alex* ander Mitchell, Rufus King, Norman J. Emmons, James S. Brown, Tbomst*v«W Ogden, Dr. J. K. Bartlett, of this; «H& and M. M. Strong, of Racine. $ b e party must have enjoyed the trip down the lakes, for on arriving at Buffalo a card appeared in one of the Bnftalo papers, stat ug that they bad never experienced more pleasure in tbe ,Jrip than while on the Empire 8f*t*> About an soon as they not to New York they went to GenniD, the hatter, who paid $'225 for first choice of the seats at the owning night, to buy Jenny Lind hats. Owing to the excessive demand for hats of that kind, only eight hats were in slock, and so one of the club was disappointed, although history do*s not say whioh oue it was. At the coucort "the party occupied a conspicuous place in the parquet near tho tenter, in front and wera the observed of all observers, especially- the lord mayor." ThC latter was tho portlv Col. Walker. While thev were in New York they went to witness the sailing of the steamer Pacific upon a trial trip to Liverpool. Alexander Mitchell. Rufus King, and George H. Walker were in the crowd of five hundred persons on a shed on the dock. As the steamer backed out she struck the shed and broke it, precipitating sixty persons into the water, among them Mayor Goorge H. Walkor, who escaped with a few bruises. He was sa badly hurt, however, that he did not return with the party, when they journeved homeward, early in October. When the Jenny Lind club returned home, the members had become so attached to each other thnt they kept up their organization, and used to have banquets at Benjamin B. Bolden's restaurant, No. 2 Grand avenue. Several gentlemen whose, individuality has become obscured by tradition, but who included capitalists, a divine, i and lawyers, afterward became mem- J Rers of the club. Of the original members only a few are living now. Among the well-known people, living and dead, who ore reputed to have been members of the club are Hans Crocker. Don. A. J. Upham, William P. Lvnde, J"ohn H. Tweedy, and Jonathan £. Arnold. The meetings of the club were supposed to have powerful political significance in the sixth decade. Socially thev wero enjoyable events. The late Justice E. G. Ryan, in his famous argument before the state senate on the occasion of the Judge Hubbell impeachment trial, made an attack on the club, on account of its alleged political machinations, which is even now some* . times referred, to as ono of the most vigorous pieces of denunciatory oratory over hoard in Wisconsin.

Bishop Harris of Detroit has raised a tempest in catholic circles by his address before the Evangelical alliance in session in Washington, criticising the Roman catholic church. He said that the catholic church was a financial success, but a charitable failure, which sent costly gifts to a foreign pope. This emphasized the previous charges of Bishop Coxe that Jesuitism was contrary to American institutions and consulting a Roman pope was un-American. Father Chappelle, the most eloquent ollc priest of the national capital, anted Bishop Harris in vigorous terms. church was crowded in anticipation of controversy. He emphatically denied charges of Bishop Harris, and declared catholics were among the moat loyal ricans. Instances were given of catholic devotion to country during the war, Ml appeal to you, fellow catholics," he said. "Are you not ready to obey the v constitution' Are you not as loyal as protestant fellow citi/.ens.' What do these accusations of want of patriotism mean.1" He closed by showing how the catholic hospitals, homes and asylums were helping civilization fully as much and more than similar protestant institutions. > Arensdorf Acquitted. John Arensdorf on his second trial has been acquitted of the murder of the Rev. Dr. George C. Haddock. Two ballots were taken.

The proprietors of the Moxio Nerve Food, that is creating such an excitement all over the country as a remedy for the liquor habit and nervous exhaustion, or results of overwork, talk the best sense yet. They say the nervouB system is the seat of life, and controls the functions of the body. The functions of the body are to take nutrition and get rid of a correB ponding amount of old and impure material, if the nerves are strong enough to do this we are well, and the blood purifies itself every day; if not, we are ill. This is the whole system of health in a nutshell. President Cleveland says that his best friend is his mother-in-raw. W r t . M o r v i t a T a l k s t o lir. L y n c h .

Tb 3 number of sheep in the country in 1884 was [50,626,626, in 1887, 44*. 759,814. a decrease of nearly 6,000000 and a diminution ot <he annual wool product of over 85.000,000 pounds, thus showing tbat reducing tbo tariff by the act ot 1883 ba*. increased the revenue from imported wools and dirimusheaithe number of sheep in the UmtecTdtaj* about 12 per c e n t , and tha aonoal prddiu^t in the same proportidB.

And it does, if we look at it aritfbt^ The averacre yields in this count.)' do not represent the resnits of our most intelligent and progressive farmers and it is this clas* that will successfully compete with other countries, if any class do^s. Mississippi produced an average ot less than 5 bushels of wheat per acre, last, vestr. IVnnessee a little over 3 bushels, Kentucky ahont 3 | bushels, while Michigan looms up with over 19 bushels.

Competition always strengthens tbe rest. Foreign competition in wheat may reduce our acreage, but it tfill increase our average. We should grow that which is most profitable, north or south. If the South can grow cotton, rice, ?ngiir,and fruits at a pro|t of $10 to §20per acre, it i* folly to gj»ow win at at no profit or at actual loss.

Many long beaded politicians expre** the belief that tbe Pi esident's course on the only rial vital issue of tbe day will cause a new alignment of parties in the next Presidential struggle, and one ot tbe most exciting contests in tbe history of the country. Mr. Blaine's swift criticism of tbe message is practically regarded as a declaration of his own candidacy lor tbe Presidency as the champion ot the protection principle. It is thought here that tbe calling of tbe National Republican Convention at Chicago was due to tbe Blaine influence, and that it foreshadows his renomination. Cougress was organized quietly, and in a manner becoming tbe dignity of that body on its centennial anniversary, despite the bloodshed in the Democratic caucus and the anticipations ot a deadlock IU tbe Senate—tbe only interruption being from a religious enthusiast, who, at the moment of most intense silence in the House, chanted the doxology in a plaintive solo, greatly to the amusement of fully 5000 spectators; the poor man was cared for by tbe police, but be succeeded in favoring the President with the dame tune at his reception. As usual on such occasions, many ot the d^sk* were burdened with beautiful floral favors, the gifts of admirinf friends. Only brief sessions otOmfitim were held tbe past week, aw ttoewMntftees have not yet been foriritoi;. jtypeaber Carlisle says thai he hopes to fetjiM* to announce tbe House committees before the holiday recess; bnt be has a very difficult task before him, for there are about 125 new members to place. It is a remarkable fact that two thirds of the chairmen of the House Committees ot the last Congress were decapitated by their constituents. ~ A plausible reason for these changes is that the importunate Congressmen, m dividing the spoils, did not have enough offices to distribute; and so many familiar faces are missing from the places that will probably know them no more forever. Tbe only Committee yet ^appointed in either House or Senate is the^CpmmiUeeon Mileage ot the House, which, as fa» as circumstances would permit, is the same as formerly, and this is rather an indication that, as far as practicable, the Speaker means to reappoint tbe same old committees. Tbe bitterness engendered among the Democrats over tbe Doorkeepership fight has brought to light allegations that both Donelson and Wintersmith, late incumbents of that ofliceT'arendHt3irrfcers,~ and--it is whispered about tbe capitol corridors that the Republicans will introduce a resolution for the appointment of a committee to investigate tbe accounts of these officials. It is believed that the nominations of Lamar for Associate Justice of the •-Supr^me..CQurti_yiIas_tor Secretary of the Interior, and Dickinson tor Postmaster General, will be confirmed without difficulty by tbe Senate. The Evangelical Alliance of the United States, embracing 2000 delegates, and numbering among its membership many of the most eminent divines of the country, held its session in the Capital tbe past week, and the occasion was a- season of glorious spiritual edification to thousands ot Christian believers whose privilege it was to attend these meetings. One of the most pleasant erpnts oi the meeting oi the Alliance was tbe President's reception of the organi- I . W 7 : ; Bra e Up.

Mrs. Harris of Washington, Dakota, was awakened the other night by tire and smoke. She aroused her husband, who made a rush for the stairway, but was driven back by the tames. The family, consisting of the parents and eiuht children, occupied one room. Harris jumped from a window to the ground l>elow and then called upon his wife to throw the children out.

Before help came all who were saved were seriously injured by the cold, tho mercury being down to Vi degrees below and the wind blowing hard. The next morning, when the remains were taken from the ash heap, there were heads burned off, feet severed from the logs, and legs burned from the bodies. It is not known how the fire started. <ir»nt« Chief of staff" Dead. Gen. Thomas Kilby Smi'.h of I'hiladelpha, a liisUrigulshed-xoidlej-ln the war of the rebellion, Is dead, age.I (5T years.

But, for the goo I know it must have done, I staiamy steps, meditating on what its story might be, when there came a rustling am ng its dry branches, and a voice seemed to come in answer to my thoughts And these were the words: My home was away out yonder where the white fields meet the mountain I can't tell how many years my brothers and i spent playing; with the Storm King and whist ing m glee at his fiercest blasts. But there came a time in our lives when all was changed. An unknown en my captured us and we were transported to the pavement of a busy stirring city. From the groups of chattering children about us we learned our mission The spirit of the crowd seemed imparted to us and we were happy. Bat with the gladness camo pride, and with pride, dissension. Our merits were discussed so often in our hearing that we took up the subject, and at times the debate became so animated that our "iinrbrroatlett with anger.—^I-*na-finer than you!" "My limbs are fuller!1' ••My form is more perfect 1" were heard so often that 1 wonder any of us were chosen to bear the gifts that should convey peace and good will. Finally one b f o u r members, wiser than the others, proposed that the matter should come to an end. None of us could iudge correctly of our own merits. The only way was for each to perform the duties that t ,e strong poster- should -lay. upon, us. A'* r.L,:v A and then after the work was completed, the festivities ended, we should meet together, and eaoh telling his <£wh story, the good accomplished should be the criterion of merit. So our contentions ceased. I had no pride. Mad frolics with the wind when I was too young to know my strength, an ugly chip from a boy's knife, and the persistent crowding of an imperious tree, combined to stun my growth, and so marred my beauty that i wondered mjself at being brought with my companions. Turned over and pushed from side to as my brothers were selected and ed away, jeered at and for my deformity, I of all, seemed only one who would h>ve" no story ill At last I was left all alone. hik> wishing much that it might be — ' e< tf little carrier boy With ore beneath his arm camo hurng along hie delivery route.

Then with a suddenly changed voice headddd, "I will,"and turned his steps and entered the store before whioh I was stationed.

' x is love that makes the gifts precious '•beyond price/'and the knowledge that a kindly remembrance has cost a sacrifice on the part of the donor, doubly enhances its value. ^ How many "little men" there are in the world upon whom early in life has rested the responsibility of taking '•father's place, to help the widowed mother in her brave struggle to care for the struggle, the money which he has earned; and his exclamation is but the expression of the joy which swells up in his own happy heart, as he pictures to the group around him the pleasures of the coming morrow. The mother is blest in such a son, and thrice blessed is the boy whese mother has early taught him the lessons of cheerfulness, patience —end an abiding trust in Him whose birth we commemorate at this time. a great deal more than you could pay. but you see I don't intend to. I mean to give it to you. And see here, my boy," and his face just glowed when he said this, "is it a little ^sister that is to be made happy with that unsightly thing? Well, come in some time when you are at leisure. 1 see you are a man of business and we will talk the thing over, and may be find some thing about the store to make vour tree less ugly!" The boy said "thank you, but his voice was so queer that I looked up and found tears in his frank eves. "Tut! tut! mv man,'1 said the jolly grocer, "that will never do. Shoulder your tree and march off." •*I must carry :uy papers first." "All right! No danger of any one stealing it, and I'll be sure and not sell it!" And so it came about that I fell into the hands of Tim Morrison, was carried homo and stored in an unoccupied room of the tenement house that sheltered the boy, his widowed mother and little invalid sister After Nellie was asleep, Tim and his mother brought in the light and looked at me. •How beautiful!" said the mother, "and how good of you to think of it! It makes me as happy as it will Nellie when Christmas eve comes and she finds what a brother's kindness has brought her." "That is an ugly twist in the tree there. Mr. Delano said that was the reason no one woul i buy it. But do you know 1 thought, in a minu e. that we would have t down in Auntie Burke's room, and that we would put this bare side close to the wall, and that crook would just fit around the bend in her chimney!" And so my mission had really commenced, and i began to think that my illy shaperi form was worth enduring, even though it had been given me only to fit around a chimney. Such talks as mother and son had over me in that deserted room! Such planning_lo. make^rnjach ojat of little, and little from no hing! It really"made my heartache, and I longed to be something more than a tree-something h u - man, that I might aid these loving workers. Sometimes my branches woukt stir with emotion. But they never mistrusted it. The mother's eyes grew brighter, as, wrapped in a shawl, she sat beside me sewing after' little Nollie had fallen asleep. Her face would, sometime* wear aryoimger-lookr as though she were living over again her girlhood's days. And once when she Sad finisheda cloth doll and dressed it in some garments she had made, she smiled and I heard her singing softly some old fashioned air. "Won't Nellie be happy, mother?'* Tim kept saying as he worked away at a oradle he was shaping for the wonderful doll. "Indeed she will and so will you. and, I!" , It would be impossible for me to tell you the gladness that came to these people from the veriest trifle.. Auntie Burke entered into the scheme ashcartlaughedrj ily as did Tim and his mother; and, though poor herself, she brightened her room to make ready for the coming festival, and gave of her small store most willingly. —"Dless the child, little suffererer that derful news that his weekly wages had been raised twenty-five cents, and, it being Christmas time, he had been paid for the week just ended. "Oh, mamma, may I spend just this? You know we have got along and we can just a little longer." The words "Yes, my boy," were hardly spoken, when the lad seized his cap and rushed off to a "five cent store" where he was soon busily engaged looking over the holiday goods displayed upon its counters. So much money must be used judiciously, and a full hour pa-ssed before he returned and placed in his mother's lap a toy dishpan, a box of cooking utepsils, a slate, a bright apron and a child's goblet There were tears in the mother s eyes that night as she stowed away these treasures in the room where I was watching and listening, and as she bent over her boy and kissed him. I heard her say: "You are getting so like papa. Tim!" And he threw both arms about her and replied: "I am going to be just like him one of these days, little mother, and then you shan't w c r k o r know anything about care and trouble!" J t n * * • * * The afternoon of the day before Christmas found all the preparations complete. The principal work was accomplished the evening before, so as not to arouse Nel ie's cur osity, but Tim had so many alterations to make that he kep; busy long after the others declared the work touiplete. Time slipped on until Tim's step at the door informed me that the surprise was soon to be. Lamps were lighted, my covering was removed, and full in the light I stood, ready to fulfill my mission of gladness. Tim» with glowing face, came first, bearing a little rocking chair, and just behind, his mother with a mite of a girl in her arms. Unfolding the shawl that was wrapped about her, they placed the child in her chair before me, and then, turning up the lights that, all my gifts might be seen at once, mother, broraer and- friend stepped back and listened for the first words the child should utter. I. alone, could see her face as she raised her eyes and looked at me. Surprise, gladness, love, all mingled, * transformed the child's countenance into that of an angel. Not a word did she utter for a moment Closing her eyes, tears rolled down her eeks. The first emotion having spent itself, the child was herself again, ancTexclaimed: . _ , — , - ^ - - - - "What a dear, good Santa Claw, a n > l ™ ™ » « * h*s tried something of -this kind, I how I love him!" ^-^ \ U D d e r *U n d » w'th great success, in the "work- Tim was her rca y assista'ht, and, j lataraettn* Veatarae ef t h e Heeeat Botha^blld YVaddln* 1» P a r i * There have been attacks on the prefecture of police^for letting the BotatcbUde and their relatives, friends, and acquaintances block up la Hue de 1* VJctoire on the occasion of the Rothschild-Bassoon wedding. I sujppose says Th$ London Truth, sobod j has a etroager or deeper horror of toadyism than your humble servant, wboec tarst feeling in too prtteuee at B money-bag causes an immediate stiffenine: of the neck and a critical state of mind.

It's a good thing for all to appear to rejoice with ihose wbo do re)olct. 1 believe that If the daughter of ray wont enemr were leaving his bouse a bride that I khould—this feeling la to strong in me—fling roses before her and old slippers behind. The Rothschilds maj bave small claims to sympathy outside of tbelr own family, aod but little claim to admiration, I kuow that mauy will have it that it is impossible for thein to have made all their milliards honestly, or that It Is, on the whole better for the world that tbev made them; uod they contend that they might, seeing what their wealth is, and seeing how pleased human betaus wbo ought to kuow better ure to adore the wealthy, do more with It Personally I wonder that they are half as good as they arc, sad I really believe that Baroaes Alphouse does her best to bring some of the reality which doin^ good produces Into Iter life. The ladies of the family, 1 may here say, are aud bave been generally, iu most resoccts superior to the numerous barons, of which the male part of it is formed. Mmc. Gustavo Rothschild, whose daughter has just become Mrs. Albert Edward Bassoon, has many points In which she re> nembles the Alsatian Jewesses described b> Erckmann-Chatriun. Her worst fault is osteutatlon, aud as she does not know how to choose her friends unless directed by some outward sign, she baa sometimes peaches that are speckled, and even badly spotted, around her.

The Russian diadem which she wore gave an original stamp to her lace, satin, aud orange-blossoms, I think, by the bye, that these flowers should not be made to serve as a bolayaue as well as to ornament the head and corsage. Quite a thick border of them ran along the edge of the skirt and train, where It touched the ground. Four thousand invitations were issued. The bearers of about two thousand got into the synagogue, which was Joyous)T floral and verdant.

As for giving state employment in London to all who ask for It, it is simply impossible, says The London Truth, Food, raiment, and lodging everyone is entitled to by law wbo is without the means of providing them for himself. Beyond this it is impossible that any state can go, for Jt would be ruined if it did. Relief works are desirable to meet any temporary distress; but I utterly deuy the doctrine that the state Is bound to provide work for all who can not find It for themselves. For centuries, the tendency has been for tver.vone wbo has nothing to drift to London. In the reign ot Elizabeth and of her predecessors, enactments were perpetually being made to stemJMsattractlon to the metropolis. It has increased since then, and~^increasing every year; whilst many industrial enterprises which heretofore flourished In the nehrhborhood of London have betaken themselves elsewhere. If work were found for erery man now in London, in a fortnight there would be as many here out of work as there Is now. ^ The best suggestiou that the "unemployed" demonstration has evoked Is one offered by Mr. Barnett, of St. Jude's, Whkechapel. This is that rural boards of guardians should be empowered to take-vacant farms near their \ work houses, and that the bona-flde nnemp^ oyed should be set to woric on tnera—of courser on *ork houw terms.

The country folk mod* the sign of the crop an they parsed by and murmured, 1 There its 1 he Accursed one's cast>«!" About the walls that nurrouiided the grounds was a brier hedge, which ro one dared to cross. The Kervantn passed each other by like shadows, afraid to •peak above a whisper. No oue dared to add res* the master. Only the young Count Robert found favor in the eyes of the lord of the manor, the old Duke de K«rberzoff, his uncle. At the time when this story begins Robert was seated at the old man's feet. He was seated in the great ducal chair; his face was livid, his eyes gleaming and his countenance distorted with fear. He was listening intently; one would hare said that he was the ffhost of terror. "My dear Lord, is your »uffering worse?" asked Robert, gently. The Duke shuddered; he was still listening intently. It was Christmas night. "Noel! Noel!" sang the peasants' voices. *'Noel ! Noel!" rang out the chimes. Then the old Duke rose up like o •pectre. "Listen, Robert!" he said. "Listen!" The old man had not spoken for twenty years. His sepulchral voice echoed through the great hall and the ancient armor hanging on the walls gave forth a metallic sound. The young Count was petrified with friarht "Twenty years ago I had a son; he vras handsome, brave and generous. He loved a young peasant girl and wished to marry her, but I refused my consent—J could not countenance such an outrage. My son pleaded with me, but I was inflexible; my escutcheon would have been eternally disgraced. I was wrong, my boy, I was wrong! Never give way to pride! It is a mortal •in!" Sobs choked the old Duke's utterance, but he continued: ! "The maiden was beautiful and virtuous. I offered her money; she fused i t Then I had her carried and imprisoned in the tower of jaattif Several icon tha reoff the my son was faithful to his word, I to my pride. I decided to kill the maiden, so 1 sent word to her secretly to escape at the first opportunity. A silken ladder was given to her, and she was carefully instructed as to its use and how to fasten it to the window. She prepared for flight. Then I arranged an infamous trap for her. Listen,Robert! listen! I had the stones of the window sill loosened, so that it would give way beneath her weight, carrying the unfortunate jrirl with it as it fell, and she would be clashed to pieces upon the marble Hoor of the courtyard below. "It was Christinas! That night 1 fell asleep in the fear of God. Then I was transported to an immensity of jeteuds. Innumerable archeA f611owed each other in never ending succession. | Beneath these arches small golden lamps were swinging gently to and fro, so numerous that it would have taken years to count them. Some burst suddenly into flame, others were as suddenly extinguished. Some burned with a fierce light, others flickered for a long time before they died out completely, "Kach one of these lamps was guarded by an angel. All the new lamps were tended by fair white angels with faces of unspeakable beauty; by others stood black angels, ugly and evil looking, and those seemed to await) with impatience the moment when the flame should be finally extinguished. " 'What is all this?' F asked my guide. " 'These lamps are the souls of men,' he replied. 'The ones which start suddenly into flame are the souls of newborn infants, and spotless angels guard them. Here are the souls of those who have reached the time of life when they can think for themselves, and the Spirit of Evil and the Spirit of Good dispute their possession. Those lamps which are flickering and fading out are the souls of the dying. Seel' he cried, pointing out several flames which were on the point of extinction, 'seel at the supreme moment the soul almost always turns to the Spirit of Good!1 "Then I asked him to show m% my own lamp. " 'Come!1 said the strange being who conducted me. "Leading me on through innumerable arches, we went on and on for a long time. Then stopping suddenly, 'See!' he said. 'Rehold thy soul!' 1 was petrified with terror. One single drop of oil remained in my lamp, and over it hovered an angel with coal MaoV \»<ncrs. who blew upon the flame to make it burn out more quickly. I wus in mortal fear, and I was a coward; yes, I was a coward," said the Duke, trembling violently. "Listen, Robert, listen! Beside my lamp burned another with a steady and brilliant flame: a white-winged angel watched over the golden vessel. The Spirit of Eril came aud whispered in my ear." The old Dukd ceased. It seemed as if he, heard the spirit's voice at that moment. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair stood on end withfright and his teeth chattered. He continued, in a hoarse voice: "The white-winged angel looked at me sadly, but the black kept whispering in my ear. I saw nothing; I would see nothing. From the black angel's wing I plucked a feather, and dipping it into the brilliant lamp I took the oil out drop by drop and Jet it fall into ray own. My flame became brilliant and red as blood; the other grew paler, but retained t its starry brightness, Only one drop of oil remained; and the white angel stretched forth his wing to stop me, but another with wings gleaming lik'e mother of pearl and bearing a golden sword came to us. 'Let the man do his will! God will judge him!1 he said. Then I took the last drop of oil. "Then I was afraid. 'Whose lamp is this?' I asked, pointing to the flame which was just on the point of going out. And the voice replied, 'It is the soul of thy beloved son.' At that moment the flame went out. The white angel took the soul in its wings and flew away with a cry of grief, but the Spirit of Evil responded with aloud cry of triumph "I awokfc frozen stiff with horror. Two corpses were stretched out upon the floor of my room crushed almost out of human shape My aon, notified by his betrothed, had wished to protect her in her flight, and the dreadful trap which I had set for her had killed them both. It was Christmas—twenty years ago!" The old man fell back in his chair, the tears streaming down his face. "Stop!" he said to the negro who was tending the precious lamp. "Feed the flame no more! I have made my confession, now I can die—but can God find pardon for me?" At that moment the castle bell rang loudly and the chants of the church were heard. The doors of the great hall swung open. Through them was seen the chapel of the old manor blazing with lights, and th» Shild Jesus on His bed of straw wem?>l resplendent with glory and pardon. The old Duke fell on his knees before the Infant God. "Man!" said the voice of the priest, "Christ was born, suffered, died to redeem the sins of men. Thou hast sinned, thou hast suffered, thou hast repented—God pardons thee! May thy soul depart in peace!" Then the old man looked at the golden lamp and saw above it an angel with snow white wings, and he recognized- him as the guardian of the brilliant lamp. The angel smiled on him sweetly, and taking up the flickering light flew off toward heaven. The Dufci Kerberzoff was dead NATURAL WOSFUL SK5PTIC HA3 EXPERIENCE.

It is simply impossible; and yet even more curious things are told of in scriptural history, you know. riuramer was naturally skeptical. He had 'fat, rod cheeks and a little mouth that continually looked as if it wanted to whistle, and fat hands and short, fat legu, and a confiding way that made him many friendtt; and then he had a habit of believing in himself and his >own shrewdness that made everybody laugh. "They can't fool me," he often remarked,snapping his fingers as if in contempt of all efforts to that end; and whenever he said it, the words created a broad smile all around the board, as if the idea of fooling Plummer was the height and depth of all absurdity. Well, the manifestations began without the aid of the slightest electricity. There was no sitting around a pine table and singing psalms, as Plummer remarked afterward, The conditions were perfected without any apparent premeditation, and the boys and girls over there came and went just as if they belonged here and were about to resume where they left off when they passed out. Plummer was first astonished by being stopped at the junction of the streets. It wan about & o'clock at nightof the 24th of December.and there was a full head of gas in the street lamp on the corner. A man with bloodred eyes, dressed in a ragged overcoat and aping hat, the front of the rim of which was torn BO as to rest on his nose, leaving the eyes conspicuous in the vacancy thereby created remarked in a hoarse, low voice: "I'm Jones— P. Q. Jones. Know me? Died in '64. 'Member that $5 I loaned you? Want HI" "I had an indistinct remembrance of borrowing 85 of somebody of that name," said Plummer afterward, "and of his dying before I had a chance to return the money. Now I don't know that this was the Jones in question, but if not, how Ehould he have known of the transaction? Well, I was glad to get tfie matter oft iny mind, and I handed out $5. I intended to ask for a~i*eceipt in full, but as I looked the man disappeared. He paused before a building that was lighted from top to bottom, and every light in which appeared to be dancing a jig without regard to rhyme, time, or propriety of movement. This might have been partly a result^ however, of the whirling snow, it having come on to storm in good, old-fashioned Christmas style. Pausing to put a handful of silver into the outstretched palm of an old woman who said she was once known as Lucretia Borgia, and casually remarking to her that he hoped shd had stopped the poisoning business, Plummer entered the building, and nearly ran against a man of rather small stature, with a prominent not* past in th« Roman style, lor^g graj hair Vmshed bveU of Mi •ar»anr1 ticft wittr. a ribboa, aad remarkably keen, briC'i*t eyes. ltLi I'm not crazy," said Plummer, hall to himself, "that's th« fho*t of Aaron Uurr." "Your servant, sir," said the man to I'lummer, with a courtly bow. I'luinuier could thiuk of nothing a p 1 pvopriute to nay, so he blurted out: "How'm Aleck?" "Mr. Hamilton and 1 arranged our difficulty hatisfaetorily a long time ago, sir," bai<t the man, with gloomy diguity. "That is too old a topic to discuss now," and he di&apputired as if he had been fchot up some invisible chimney. Just how Plummer got into the long dining-hall of the place he can not remember. It seems to him that he was pushed one way aud pulled another, and he in confident that homebody kicked his shins—he carried th« very bark on them a long time. He reoolle<: ts that he suddenly found himself on the floor, having- finally been thrown there with great velocity. As he went down there were a thousand shining lights in his eves, and there was the noise of clinking glasses nnd merry laughter. About the table were as many as a huudied gentlemen and ladies, clad in as many kinds of dress, running back to the modes of the middle and further ages. There was a Mrs. Cleopatra, who was not a^ tired to any great extent, clinking glasses with a gentleman who appeared to bear a close resembience to Julius Ceasar and pointing a coquettish finger at Mr. Antony. There was Queen Elizabeth, with a ruilie around her neck so large that it seemed as if it ought to choke her, exchanging exclamations of wonder with Walter Raleigh with respect to the Brooklyn bridge, whiel King John tossed merry jests to Anuie Laurie and got them back again, Mary Queen of Scotts discussed the war tariif with Lord Darnley, and William Shakespeare put up his hands with Francis Bacon in a violent argument as to Mr. Darwin's orig-ion of man. Plummer had apparently risen to a sitting posture about this time and was drinking it all in with his eyes and wishing the same with respect to his eager mouth, when there advanced a marvelously pretty lady who announced herself as Hagarin the wilderness, and immediately introduced a lady with a water-vessel on her shapely head as Rachel at the well. "In good faith," said Plummer gallantly, "you carry your years right royally. You must be—why, good gracious!" exclaimed Plummer, as he hastily indulged in mathematics, "you must be so old that you can't count it, and . here you are with the down and $olor of the peach on your your cheeks, and with eyes that sparkle and lips that lift my soul to unutterable yearning. By heavens! it is good to be here. And how are Uncle Abraham and litle Ishuiael?" "We may not dwell," said Rachel at the well; and thereupon Hagar in the wilderness spoke up business-like, but with a winning smile: "'We are appointed a committee of two to bear to you the compliments of the Queen of *?heba, and conduct you to her Majesty's side. Shall we have that honor?" "You bet!" exclaimed Plummer.with great rudeness; recognizing and regretting which, he promptly added, "Even as the duck yearneth for its native element, so my heart goeth out to her serene and unrivalled Majesty.11 "'Plummer,* said her Majesty, as I slid into a chair at her side, embarrassed like, 'I have long looked ahead to this hour. Hundreds of years I have waited for it. Ah, with what intensity of alternate hope and despair, dear Plummer! Sweetheart, have a drink?' "Theconcluding words seemed harsh to me, though they were uttered la the clearest and most musical of tones. I quaffed, however, and it must hare been of a beverage brewed by the immortal gods. Fast as I quaffed, odd ss it may seem, the words were repeated, 'Sweethearts, try another,' and finally I sank, I swooned—the spectacle, the music, the oompany faded away I knew no more," The Christmas day began with flying snow. The bells rang out from church steeples aud rang merrily from the necks of flying horses. The windows had countless forest and city scenes and figures on them, traced by the merry but eccentric frost. "It must be late," said a forlorn figure, staggering to an upright position in a deserted hallway, "Wh-hy, where'a in* watch?" The figure searched its pockets and inquired with inn eh anxiety, "Wh-hy, wh-here'a m' monoy?" Then the figure Rtnggered out to the sidewalk, dismally uttering the myst.erions word, "Sc-cooped!" "Merry Christmas!" exclaimed an expectant youth, extending his open palm. "M'shon," replied the figure.gloomily and in a great state of confusion and doubt, woarily lifting » trerquloua hand to a throbbing brow, "Y' may th-think so. b-bnt I know b-b-etter.'"

CHAPTER IX—CONTINUE* AB be waa picking bis way along the Btraftd, a pince-nez astride bla nose and a very clerical-looking umbrella la bis black-gloved right band, his eye was attracted by an announcement in a window of a certain 'Instantaneous Hair Dye" on sale within, of which be at once bought a bottle. Then, after he had dined, be made a few otber purchases, comprising a Gladstone bag, together with such toilet requisites and other articles as were Indispensible. With these he was j driven in a cab to a certain quiet J hotel be knew of, where he engaged a bed and sitting-room and entered his name in the visitors' register as the "Re». Hebry ttabor.11 Within a few hours of bis arrival the color of his hair bad changed frdra a reddish brown to a beautiful jet black. But Koden bad no intention of becoming dependent on his mother or any one. He was possessed with the happy consciousness of being able to earn his living, though it might be rather a meagre one at first. His fingers began to itch for his brush and palette. In his assumed character of a young curate, he could not well go ont into the woods and fields with his hasel and camp-stool as he would so dearly have liked to do; but. not to be altogether idle, he began a series of water-color sketches from memory which he had little doubt of being able to dispose of later on. Later on. too, when the Sandycroft tragedy should have become a thing of the past and no longer dwelt so freshly in men's minds (not even, in those of the police, ) he would change his lodginga discard his clerical garb, and set to work again in desperate earnest For as days and weeks went by, and Ivor Penleath mado no sign, it seemed to Koden that his future way of life had been arranged for him by an inexorable destiny which had only left him one door of escape, and that one which he would never consent to avail himself of. CHAPTER X. The Meeting on the Tower. It was on a lovely evening toward the end of July that Knna Penleath slowly clomb the stairs which brought her out on the leaded roof of the old tower. The last time she ascended them had been on the morning of April IS, a date by her never to bo forgotten. The door of Rorlen Bosworth's painting-room on the first floor and the door of his bedroom on the second floor were both locked an they had been left by the police after their perquisition,, since which time no one had set foot inside the rooms. After the long hot day the air which played round the roof of tne tower felt doliciously oool and refreshing., She and Koden had spent many happy hours on the roof of the tower in days gone by. Sometimes ho would carry up a couple of camp-stools and a s<heet of drawing paper and give her a lesaon in chalka; sometimes ho would read aloud while she worked; ofttimes they were content to do nothing but talk.' It was of him that she waa thinking this evening, not as of one lo-*t to hor forever, but rather as of one hidden for a little while by a cloud which would presently lift and vanish— when, to her surprise and, it must be confessed, somewhat to her alarm, she heard the sound of footsteps. Someone waa climbing the stairs. Her heart began to boat painfully. Time had passed more quickly than she had been aware of; the du-k was deepening fast* She knew what an uncanny reputation the clock-tower had among the servants at the Croft, and that none of them would willingly go near it after sunset Who, then, "could this be whose footsteps— evidently those of a man—were drawing neater, stair by stair, and what could be his errand there at that hour? All that she could hope was that, if he were not already aware of her presence, she might perhaps, be able to slip down the staircase unseen in the dusk. Accordingly, when the newcomer emerged on to the roof. Knna, with the bulk of the clockturret between her and him, was invisibia and when a few momenta had passed without hit betraying any consciousness of her presence her courage began to come back to her, She felt sure that she heard him sigh. after which all was bo still that she could have counted her own heartbeats. It was very strange, she thought, and so thinking, she ventured to peep round one side of the turret. 4 The stranger was standing with his back toward her, leaning forward, with his folded arms resting on the parapet He seemed to be gazing straight before him at the Croft, which fronted the spot where he was standing. There waa something In his attitude, something, it may be. ia the pose of his head, which sent a momentary thrill through Knna. But oven to dream of-such a thing was preposterous. The close-cropped 'hair, the low-crowned, soft felt hat and the long clerical coat were the outward and visible signs of a stranger. Bui although he w u to «tU seeming a gee U•man, she had no desire to be found there by him. Evidently, if she wished to get i-nray unseen, she could not have a Vetter opportunity than the present one. Drawing her skirts about her, she stole round the turret on tiptoe in the direction of the stairs, but the sudben passage of a bat within a few inched of her faca caused a tremulous 'Oh!11 to break from her lips. At the exclamation the stranger turned and the two confronted each other. Ennu's eyes opened to their widest extent and she drew in he:- breath at a gasp. She had recognized Roden on the instant Afteojell. love is your most infallible detective, and clever indeed must be the disguise which she keen eyes fail to see through. "Roden—you!" she exclaimed in a voice that was hardly above a whisper; and with that she went forward and held out her hand. He took it it! both his, held it a moment or two in silence, and then let it go. She could feel the shiver that ran through him from head to foot He stood fronting the west where the last ashes of the burnt-out day were not yet wholly extinguished. By their pallid crepuscular light she could bee the working of his face, and note the flame of troubled rapture which sprang into his eyes the instant they rested on her, before the ardor of which her own bank abashed. "Yes—it is I," he answered after a pause, which ought to have been measured by heart-throbs instead of second* "I could not rest longer without looking again on the old place —and satisfying myself that all under its roof were welL Tut—I had no thought of seeing you, " ••It is the first time I have sot foot in the tower since that terrible night and I cannot tell what impulse brought me here this evening. You say that you had no thought of seeing me. Perhaps you wished, first of all to see my uncle Ah. Roden. if you had known how he has longed to see you. you would have come back long ago!' "No. I have not come in order to see Colonel Bernage. and he must not know that I have been here. 1 caine because I could no longer stay away, but I had no thought or intention of seeing any one—not even you-and two hours hence I shall be b&ck in London." ••You did not come to see my uncle, and he must not know that you have been here! Oh. Roden!'' It, was a cry in which pain, amazement and sorrow all seemed to have part. Love and sorrow that verged on despair spoke out of the young man's eyes as they ga/ed into hers. T.ien he said "I know well what you think, and I caniot blame you for i t " •It is not what I think. Roden. but what the world thinks and says, coupled with your own silence that has been such a pain to us all. IJelieve me when I tell you that in the thoughts both of my iiincles and myself you have ever been held guiltless of that which has " been laid to your charge!" . •Heaven blosa you for those words! Then, although the evidence was to all seeming HO sirong against me, you did nut—yo i do not—credit that 1 am the murderer of Captain Durvill!" He spoke quickly, almost fiercely. H was as though ho noedotl to be still more fully assured that she held him guiltless. "Need I repeat my assurance that we have novor lost our faith in \ou?" she asked, with a shade of sweet reproach in her voice. "Hut as time passed on, and your silenco remained unbroken, can you wonder if my uncles sonjetmies said to each other. "May there not havo been a quarrel between the- two, and may it not well havo come to pass that what was done was done in a moment of passion, of ungovernable frenzy, caused perhaps, by some great provocation or insult the secret of wnich was known to themselves alone?' That is what they have sometimes said to each other." "Such generous hearts as theirs find it bard to think ill of any one. It they had thought infinitely worse of me, they would have been justified in doing so. My silence must have seemed incomprehensible to all of you. But not even to the extent admitted in their thoughts am I guilty. 1 had neither part nor parcel in the death of Darvill. I am an innocent of all participation in it as Colonel Bernage himself." Enna stared at him durably, a strange continence of emotions acritating her heart; joy. thankfulness, wonder and faith that was justified of itself; but over all the brooding shadow of a mystery in which there seemed to lurk an unseen menace. "Then why" she said at last and then was silent but it was not yet so dark that he could not read the rest of her question in her eyes. •Then why did I not come forward and prove my .innocence before the worldP" he said. "This is a question which I cannot answer either to you or any one—pray pardon the rudeness which compels me to say sa " ••But Koden, I don't understand, 1 altogether fall to comprehend— 'Ohl help me out—you know what I want to express." "You fail to comprehend why or how it oomes to pass that I am thus bound in fetters which I am powerless to break. Believe me, if I were at liberty to tell you, 1 would, ah, how gladly! But mjr Ufft *ff sealed. The secret Is not my own. or It would have been told long ago. All I can do is to ask you not to lose faith in me, and sometimes to think of me—a little," "But this Is terrible! For how much longer have you condemned yourself to carry this awful DurdeuP" "I cannot tell My release may come at any hour, or it may never come." ••Never! Do you mean that all your life long you may have to remain branded as a murderer, and never bo free to prove your Innocence?" "It may be t>o. I do not know. The vista opened up by bis words appalled Knna. Her bosom rose and j fed in a tumult of emot.on. There was so much that her heart yearned to say, and yet so little that she raiybt; say. She had to put a guard on hor lips, or they would have betrayed her. •On. Koden, Koden!'1 she e\claimed, laying oue hand gently on his sleeve, ••what mystery i* hereJ What is this dreadful web in which you have HI- i lowed yourself to become entangled? Surely there must be some way of cutting it—some way of freeing yourself. Come with me to Uncle (iodfrey and tell all to him. If it be in the power of man to help you. he will help you; if ho cannot you will at least have' the consolation of knowing that your | secret is shared by one who looks upon j you almost as if you were his own son." ••It cannot be," responded Koden, in a voice charged with emot on. • -Xo one can help me; to no oue must my secret be told Had I been free to tell it it would have been told long ago—to him. my benefactor, whom J love and revere, first of all, and afterward— to von." Enna turned away with a tearless j sob. What more could she say? Ai i every point she was ba /ed and thrown j back upon herself. Then a fresh thought struck her. "hut supposing you should be arrested?" sheba.d. anc j there was a quaver in her voice whicl sounded like sweetest music in Koden'i ears. ••But I do not intend to be arrested, * he replied, with a grave smile; "con se ,uently it is hardly worth while U consider what would happen in suet a case. Believe me, 1 have no feai on that score. It is true that yoi j penetrated my disguise at once but—tbat is different You are thi only one who has done so.

Would not tha be worse—-inliniU'ly worse?" '•Oh yes—yes! Hut why you shoul be willing to bear such an intolerabl burden for another's sako when yo know yourself to be guiltless is to in incomprehensible." To tins Koden made no reply. The clock overhead struck ten. Knna started. '1 havo stayed ot of doors longer than 1 ought," >h said. "I'nclo Alwyn wi:l be growiu impatient to begin his game d bach gammon." Koden turned in silence and led th way down. "Ay, my poor (iinevru when shall I set eyes on theo airain? ho murmured as ho passed the doc of his painting-room.

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is the purest and strongest of all the baking powders. The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweetest, most delicious food. The strongest baking powder makes the lightest food. That baking powder which is both purest and strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome food. Why should not every housekeeper avail herself of the baking powder which will give her the best food with the least trouble? Avoid all baking powders sold with, a gift or prize, or at a lower price than the Eoyal, as they invariably contain alum, lime or sulphuric acid, and T.ender the food unwholesome. Certain protection from alum baking powders can be had by declining to accept any substitute for the Royal, which is absolutely pure. AMUSING CONFABS.

Needle-women who do skilled work on fancy, lace trimmed aprons, are paid two shillings and six pence for twelve dozen, that is, seventy-two cents. A quick worker can complete four dozen such aprons a day, the pay being twenty-four cents, the women furnishing their own needles and thread. Match-box makers earn four and a half cents for one hundred and forty-four boxes, they finding the paste and fuel for dryiug the boxes; their earnings, being, for a week, of twelve to fourteen hours a day, six or seven shillings.

The Columbia daily pad calendar remains the only valuable daily pad calendar. The calendar for '93 is of the same general design as that of previous years consisting of 36(5 leaves, one foi every day in the year, and a calendar for the entire year. The day of the week, of the month, and of the year are given, and on each leaf is a short sermon on the "Gospel of Outdoors, Health and Happiness," with valuable hints on practical road making. The leaves are so arranged that there will be no stub left, and each one can be referred to at any time during the year. The pad is upon a metallic stand of ivory black, arranged so as to rest upon the desk at a convenient angle. The pad matter, which in the aggregate is enough to make a book, is all fresh and new, and is of more pertinent value than that olany previous calendar. The calendar is issued by the Pope Mfg.

Men and women are examined upon equal terms as to their fitness for the work.|,Thus far the concensus of opinion seems to be that women are quicker, while men are more reliable, the grand balance of utility being about equal. The stenographic notes of the women are found to be less accurate in the matteiMSf technical terms than the notes of the men; the comparison of time is in the proportion of sixty minutes to eighty minutes in favor of'the female competitors; while the proportion of errors in technical and business terms, and spelling, generally, is as six to eleven in favor of the males. A curious condition is revealed in examination of grand results in competition: the speed of the men remains stationary, while their accuracy shows a marked increase; the speed of the women shows a decided increase, while their accuracy shows an almost exact proportion of decline.—Demorest's Family Magazine. >> Bucklen's Arnica Salve.

An old ind successful agriculturist who re- •aembers when chickens nursed, now proposes to plant corn with peas and raise hot succotash. IT is notorious that the Panama •cheme was bolstered up by a vast system of bribery. Newspapers were •ubsidized to favor the scheme. Papers were established to take advantage of the opportunities of being corrupted. Touts of all kinds were kept In pay, from legislators down to work- Ingmen. All these expensive agents were employed to assure the French people that the company was sound and its shares a good investment THS complaint against too diffuse education, the learning of many things and nothing thoroughly, has been the cause of quite a little criticism. It is •ften discouraging to find how little result has come from the instruction given to children in the schools, how little remains to them of what they have read or been told. It is argued from this that if their attention was kept to a few subjects they would show more thorough knowledge and leave school with a truer education. CRITICISM of the school system is good for the schools if op\y it calls attention to faults. It is easy to point out that the schools are not satisfactory in their results. That rn.fi y ba admitted at once. But the question to be asked in regard to the defect pointed out is whether it may be remedied or is unavoidable. Probably the most general cause of failure of the •chools to makts more striking successes lies in the fact that Providence has not gifted his children overpleatifully with brains. Any system of edmcation must run up against this fact, and the system ia not to be blamed for <not accomplishing the impossible.

The congressional recount committee reassembled at Uriwid Rapids to hear Honorable J. C. Fit/^vrald's opinion as to whether or not the eight Populist votes accidentally left out of the Plain tield box should be counted. Mr. Fitzgerald cited numerous authorities and held that the duties of the committee were purely ministerial, that it could not go beyond the contents of the ballut boxes, nor could it call in witnesses to explain apparent discrepancies, hence the eight votes could not be counted. Law points are for the courts to decide and not for the committee or canvassing board. With this legal opinion before them the recount committee threw out tho eight Plainrleld ballots and one lielknap ballot which had been counted. After an explanation had been made by axa inspector, the Democrats filed au afiidavit and formal protest against counting the Soldiers' Home vote, as u preliminary for an appeal to the courts. The matter is still far from settled. A Terrible limiting Accident. x A most horrible accident occurred about one mile and a half from Middleton. Johnnie Duh'o, the 14 year old son of Chauncey Dufio, of that place, went rabbit hunting with his dog and gun. He was gone a longer time than was his custom and an older brother tried to find him, but no general search was made. Finally Fred Willert, a young man who was hunting, saw the dog and following it he discovered the dead body of the boy. He had evidently been standing on a log* and when he went to set his gun down the hammer struck the log, discharging the gun. The charge entered the front of his neck, passing out the back of it. His clothes caught fire and burned from his body, so that when found he could scarcely be recognized. An Insane Woman's Suicide. Mrs. Julia Krause, inmate of the insane asylum at Pontiac, threw herself in front of a Detroit, Grand Haven & Milwaukee train this morning and was killed. The right leg was cut off and the head crushed. She had been an inmate of the asylum three months and was thought to be convalescing. Mrs. Krause leaves u widower and son in fSaginaw.

Tbe Twentieth Annual 8«M1O& was Hald at Lwuakiff— Anti-Option bill Praised. The twentieth annual session of the State Grange was held in Lansing and wasiquite interesting. Worthy Master Mars in his address ispoke ot the pending senatorial contest. The gave the present caucus systern a severe drubbing, claiming that it was the means' of placing men without character or ability in the senate, giving men of great wealth and disreputable methods a clear road over poor, but honest, candidates. The worthy master also paid some attention to matters now before Congress. He said he was satisfied that markets are seriously affected by the great boards of trade and their mode of buying and selling, and hoped that the anti-option and pure food bills will pass. No plan has been suggested that, in his opinion, is a, better solution of the^reat question of finance thau the one now in vogue. He expressed the belief that the increase of money should keep pace with the increase of population. The land loan and sub-treasury schemes were said to have been relegated to the rear as one of the lost problems of the age. The scheme urged upon Congress having for its object the irrigation of the arid lands of the west was soundly condemned as one which, if adopted, will call for the expenditure of untold millions. The opinion was expressed that we now have all tho land needed, in view of the lively competition and small profits which exist. A good word was spoken for the free rural mail delivery project and for the State Agricultural College, which, he said, should have ample means to enlarge its usefulness and admit girls on an equal footing with boys. The grange's finances are in good condition and the order is growing slowly but steadily. A Sad Case of Insanity. Mrs. Eliza llaskins, of Odessa township, Ionia county, was brought before Judge Willett of the probate court at Ionia upon a petition for her admission to the Kalamazoo asyhun. She is but 18 years of age, and it raving* maniac, having been so since the birth of ,her child about two weeks ago. She was married to a good-for-nothing-fellow, Allie llaskins. about a year ago, and he deserted her last June and has since been paying his attentions to another girl in Odessa, lie was previously married to his present unfortunate wife's sister, who died of consumption, two children being the fruit of that union. She never asks for the child, but keeps cursing Haskins for his faithlessness and desertion of her. She thinks he has laid a plot to poison her. Stabbed in a Drunken Quarrel. John Odion, aged 5.1, and John Grindle, aged sixty years, the former a sailor and the later a common laborer, have been living under the same roof with (Irindle'sson-in-law in Piiichtovvn, near Muskegon. They went on a spree and toward evening they seperated. Odion going to Kveiling's saloon and falling asleep on a table. Soon after Grindle came in and walked up to his chum dealth him a powerful blow in the right eye, causing blood to flow. Shortly after both started for home, still quarreling.

PRESIDENT OF THE AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LABOR "Talk* Out Loud in Meetlu1" on tbe Bab- Jectofthe Wronys of the Workinginan and the Haae Use of State and Government Troupt—"Huuiettteud Martyr*." President Sunauel Gompers opened the twelfth annual session of the American Federation of Labor in Independence Hall, Philadelphia. Among the prominent labor men in the convention besides President (iornpers, Treasurer John JI. Lennon, of New York and Secretary Evans, of New York, were Samuel Goldwater, representing the cigarmakers; P. J. Maguire, of the .Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiuers of America; John J. Byron, Quarrymen's National Union; W. ]$. Prescott, of the International Typographical Union; Ex-President Weihe, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel "Workers and VV. A. Carney, his successor, came in for a share of attention, as did all the men who are engaged in the Homestead fight, who occupied seats together. An address of welcome was delivered by George Chance, of Typographical Union No. 2, in which in part he said: "It is said 'that the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the chureh. It is possible that through the blood of men who died on the banks of the Monongahela river last July there may come a realization of the true condition of affairs, and that the legislation of the future will be in favor of the masses rather than for the aggrandizement of the few." President Gompers replied and later delivered his annual report, a portion of which is, in substance, as follows: Events have transpired on the field of labor within the past six months which have aroused public attention because the incidents connected with them have been more or less of an unusual character. In each of those labor struggles the employers, the corporations, have simply made a request and the armed forced of the states and the United States were at their bidding. At Homestead, where the iron and steel workers were offered a wholesale reduction in their wages, an armed band of marauders, sailing under no flag, owing allegiance to no state or country (and consequently by the law of all nations considered pirates) was brought by the corporation to invade that peaceful town, to overawe and intimidate its citizens and workers, to aid in the effort to supplant their labor by a poorer and demoralized set of human beings. In the cou.l mines of Tennessee, where the miners were being gradually but surely supplanted by the labor of convicts, the miners pleaded in vain to the legislature of the state to stop this nefarious traffic. Instead of having their wrongs redressed they were scorned. At Buffalo 3.">0 switchmen asked to be relieved from long hours at work which was made dangerous to both the men and the traveling public by the long anil continuous strain. These men were treated with contempt and when they attempted to enforce the law—providing for a .10 hour day in New York state—the troops were cnlle+4-*Dut and the men treated as slaves. At Couer d'Alone the men were given the choice of greatly reduced wages or giving their work to the horde of heap, foreign contract laborers, anil when they stood for their manhood the United States sent her troops to do the .ridding of the mine owners. The comnandiug general of the United States forces issued an order that any employer who would operate his mines with union men would not be allowed to continue work. A United States judge issued an order prohibiting the .inion miners from holding a meeting. In other words, the constitutional right of free assemblage had been violated by a United States judge and a general of our army declaring- and enforcing an edict that the employer shall not carry on his business because he dare employ union men. I believe that an investigation by Congress should be asked for by us. It is plainly evident that the militia of our several states are now never utilized except for purposes of ostentatious show or as an element in labor struggles. There is not even a pretense that they should be what they were originally designed for "an arming of the people, a citizen soldiery, a national guard." Instead of being*the popular organization in defense of homes and firesides it has drifted into a machine of monopolistic oppressions against labor. What tho toilers need at this time is to answer the bitterness and vindictivenesjs of the oppressors with organization. Mr. Gompers urged the restriction of immigration and the repeal of the law closing the World's Fair on Sundays. Grows Fat From Fantlng.

The Secretary of the Navy Says We Have the Fluest Navy In the World or Nat i o n s . - T h e Fumoui Railway Mystery Cleared Up at Laat.—Items. tnim Weht eonr da irnbnietrra atinodn .appetite fall out It SS Secretary of the Navy Tracy in his annual report sets forth the fact that when the present administration came in, March 4, 1889, besides old and obsolete wooden ships only three modern war vessels were in commission. During the' administration 19 new vessels have been added to the navy, with an aggregate tonnage < f 54,833 tons, mounting two 13-inch, six 10-inch, lrt eight-inch and 83 sixinch guns. Three new bteel tugs have also been constructed and put in service. There are in process of construction 18 new vessels, certain to be completed next year, should armor be delivered, of aggregate tonnage of 93,497 tons and mounting 13 13-inch, six 12-inch, 16 10-inch, 30 eight-inch, 33 six-inch, 38 live-inch and 34 fourinch guns, all of which have been or are to be manufactured in this country. Not to ships alone has the development of the past few years been confined. Armor, torpedoes, heavy rapid firing guns, armor-piercing* shells, smokeless powder snd high explosives. It has been demonstrated that the United States in constructing its new navy, which 10 years ago had no existence even on paper, is enabled to place upon each and all its armored vessels material the like of which the world has not up to this time seen, and while vast sums have been spent plating the sides of foreign men-ofwar with inferior material this country will enjoy for the purpose an armor which is not only far more efficient but which represents unquestionably the highest development of modern science and development reached by its own efforts. \Vith reference to unprotected cruisers of the second class, of from 4,000 to 5,000 tons displacement, the department does not recommend any present increase in the number. Nor is it desirable to add to the number of heavily armed gunboats of the Yorktown type. Torpedo cruisers, from 800 to 1,000 tons, with speed 32 knots, sufficient coal capacity, rapid fire guns and powerful torpedo armament are the type of vessel most desired. ffffg The first le*aoa in dyspepsia is a surprise to bias who thinks he knows everything.

James Frouatt has been arrested at Rah way, N. J., for the murder of a comely young woman whose body was found on the morning of Saturday, March 20, 1887, in a lonely road leadingto the village of Milton, five miles west of Kahway. The body was never identified although viewed by thousands from all parts of New Jersey and New York. The murder is commonly known as the "liahway mystery." This is not Frouatt's first connection with the murder. He was one of the first arrested on suspicion, although there was then evidence that would have warranted holding him, he was allowed to go. He has been under surveillance ever since then, however. It is said that Frouatt's 12-year-old daughter has made a confession as to the actions of her father on the night of March 2">, 1887, when there was a party at Frouatt's house. The Frouatt girl tells of a strange and pretty young woman who was at the party, and her description tallies with that of the murdered girl. Dr. Charles Schenek has been elected president of the Swiss confederation and A. Frey vice president. T H E MAKKKT*. Detroit. Cattle—Good to choice.- ..

A Craij JTarmer'i Terrible Deed. A farm hand named Walter Hitching* butchered three people on the farm of Wm. Hunt, two miles west of Free Soil, Manistee county, with an ax and a knife. The murderer afterwards cut his own throat. The dead are: Wm. Hunt, Mrs. Hunt, Thomas Hayward, a hired boy, and Walter Hitchings. There are no living witnesses of the awful tragedy, but the story ia told by surrounding circumstances, llitchings was known to be slightly demented, but he was never Very violent although quick tempered. He was a brother of Mrs. Hunt and made his winter home with the farmer. Hayward was 15 years old. The three men started out to cut wood, and it is evident that they had not long been at work when Hitchings was seized with an insane desire to kill, and raibiui*- his ax he Drought the sharp blade down on Hunt's head, cutting the skull open. Young Hayward turned iind ran in terror, but stumbled and fell and the madman was upon him in an instant and crushed his skull at a blow. The two died almost instantly. Hitchings returned to Hunt's body and dragged It to a brush heap where he carefully covered it up, but Hay ward's body was only partially hidden. - The insane man then ran hastily to the bouse, grabbed his sister and with a big, dull jack knife terribly , -slashed and cut her in several places before he succeeded in cutting her throat That the poor woman made a desperate fight for her life was evident, but her strength failed. The murderer made two gaping wounds in the back of her head, from which the brains oozed and then pushed the body under the bed. He then went up stairs and tried to cut his throat with the jack knife, but it was too dull so, with blood flowing from his hacked neck, he began to search for a razor. At this point Mrs. Kritzen, a Polish neighbor, and Hunt's eight-year-old daughter, ran over in response to Mrs. Hunt's screams. Hitchings started at the wotman, brandishing the bloody knife, and she caught up the one-year-old baby from the floor and ran out, slamming the door behind her, and fled to her borne with the children. By the time help has been called and reached Hunt's, home Hitching*} had completed his awful work and lay at the foot of stairs with his throat cut from to ear, and a bloody razor beside h-iemar.- Hunt lived with his second wife, who was a sister of his first. A son by the first wife, aged 18, lives near Seattle, Wash., and another, aged 20, was at work at Millerton at the time of the •tragedy. By his present wife Hunt Had two children, a girl of 8 and a boy one year old, wiio are being cared for by kind neighbors. Hitchingfl and Hunt were each about 50 years of age. Mrs. Hunt was about 45 years old. farmer*' Clubs Convention.

In the meantime the whole colony had again become Interested in the affair, chiefly from the fact that no traces could be fouud either of Baynes OP his wife; and, aa It became certain that the missing couple had not traveled toward the coast, as Baynes had aaid they Intended doing, the matter Srew dally more and more mysterious. Days ?.nd weeks passed by, and yet nothing fresh concerning the disappearance of Robert Luke came to light. His brother began to despair, and at last one night he announced his intention of returning to England. "It is of no use my remaining here," he said, "Besides I must go home and look after my business. I have done my best, and I can do no more. But to my dying day I shall believe that that Baynes and his wife were somehow or other mixed up with the disappearance of my brother." That night he went up to the hut for the last time. Having strapped up the few things he possessed In his valise, he made all preparations for starting early the next morning. Then ue retired to rest. Once more William, Luke dreamed. This time he heard the same voice crying out, "Help—help!" He did not awake, but wearily answered In his sleep— ''I am here, Bob. What do you want? I have done the best I can, and I can do no more." They were the words which he had used that night when he wished the men good-by. Presently his dream took a more substantial form. He beheld the hut in-jvhlch he slept lighted by a solitary "slush" lamp. Upon the bed wb,ere he lay he saw the figure of a woman, sitting with her head resting m her hands.

Then Luke heard a noise, as of some one outj side the hut. In his vision his sense of hearing seemed almost painfully acute. j The woman also hoard the noise, and i raised her head as if In alarm. He could not catch a glimpse of her face, for as she sat upon the edge of the bed her features were turned away fffoxn him. Suddenly he heard a voice speaking from without. Luks started in his sleep, for It was the voice of his brother! "Mrs. Baynes," it said in a clear, low tone—"Mrs Baynes, would you kindly glvve me a drop of brandy, If you have such a thing-? I am sorry to trouble you at this time of night, but I am not very well. I am Luke—Bob Lu3*e." The woman, as she listened,, clasped htr hands together as If in mortal terror, but she answered not a word. Presently the voice came again, this time louder and with a more determined accent "Mrs. Baynes—d'ye hear, Mrs. Baynes?" The woman rose stealthily from her sitting position and stepped toward the fireplace. Unhooking the great kettle that hung from an iron bar by a chain, she noiselessly removed the bar from its place and stood clutching It in her right hand, as if prepared to use it as a weapon of defense. William Luke seemed to strain every nerve in his sleep as he endeavored to cry out; but his vo<£e appeared to have left him and his limbs refused to do his bidding. He was like one paralyzed for the time being, with the powers of hearing and seeing alone left to niml Then he perceived that the door was k i pressed in from without"" The part, where there wsi no bolt, showed signs of giving away; another heaving of the door, and yet another, a loud crash, and William Luke behold his brother! For several seconds, as it seemed to dreamer, the figure of Robert Luke stood slfently gexing at the woman, who stood defiantly facing him. Wll- Uajn Luke beheld only the faee of his brother.

Suddenly fconnffw he Msasd about to bj* % *•!•# fross wtaont tbs hut, like the sound of a ho:>e galloping up to the door, caused him to look round. The woman, quick «s thought, raised the cruel bar of iron in her hands and dealt him a heavy blow upon fcts skull; and with a wail of "Help—help!" Robert Luke fell face downward upon the floor. Then came a blank in the dream, and William saw no more. Presently however he beheld the figure of his brother standing near thf bed. Raising himself slowly, he gazed into his face, and, holding out hi.-; irms, he endeavored to embrace him. His brother looked Badly into his eyes, and then, turning from him, moved slowly toward the fireplace, and vanished from his sight. William Luke awoke to find himself standing on the bare earth of the hut. The moon shone brightly through the open window, upon the spot where, in his dream, he had last seen his brother. This time he remembered all he had dreamed. "He is there," he cried—"foully murdered and buried there! Heaven help me if I am going mad!" Then, rushing down to the huts where the men slept, he awakened th-s whole station. ' In less than an hour sturdy men, with lanterns to light them at their work, were busily engaged with pickaxes and shovels In raising the hearth inside the hut. Luke, in a wild state of excitement, was directing and urging them on to their labors. The scene was a curious one, as the whole population of the place was gathered in and around the hut speculating as to what possible discovery there might be made. The men had removed the rough stones upon the hearth, and had dug Eorae four feet deep into the earth, when they stopped to take breath. "Go on—go on!" shouted Luke. "Deeper down yet—deeper down!" "Keep quiet, Luke!" remonstrated Mr. Hall. "Your exciting yourself like this can do no good." Luke eat down upon a bench and buried his face in his hands. He could not endure even the moment's delay -which tho men required for rest from their toil. Again the hut resounded with the sound of the pick and shovel at work. But Luke looked up no more. Mr. Hall's words had soothed his overwrought mind, and he waited patiently for what might come. "Liere's something anyhow," cried one of the men—"a mart's hand!" Luke sprang to hts feet, now unable to control his excitement. "Gently—we are on it now!" said one. "There is more beneath. Mercy on us—It's Bob!" There, dismembered, lay the remains of what once had been Robert Luke. "At last! I knew it—I knew it!" said a voice solemnly; and William Luke sank down upon a bench, shielding his eyes with his hands from the horrid sight, and cried, "Now may Heaven send me my revenge!" CHAPTER XVI. There was net the slightest difficulty in identifying the body, for the man's clothes, even to the other half of the broken belt, were buried with him. When William Luke narrated his dream, men looked at one another aghast. Even the most skeptical could not doubt that he had actually seen a vision of the murder as It really happened. The one thing that grieved him was that he had been unabfe to see the face of the woman In the hut; and thus his suspicions as to the connection between Edward Bartlett, Anne Dodson, and the late occupants of the hut remained as unconfirmed as before. Mr. Hall at once communicated with the police at Mount Gipps, and early the next morning four troopers and some black trackers appeared on the scene. Nearly two months had elapsed since the departure of Baynes and his wife, and nothing at all had been heard of them. That they had murdered Robert Luke there could be no possible doubt The excitement on the station was Intense, and people flocked from all parts of the country to witness the scene of the awful crime and to behold the man who had dreaj&ed that fearful dream. It was suggested that an expedition should bt sent out to hunt all the country round about. "If tb*y are anywhere In the colony," said Mr. Hall, after a long consultation witfc tae »er*ea"t ef th/vpolk*, "ft i s 4bat il.'-y h^vc taken to th4 baek country somewhere in the direction of tUe Gray Bangs*. Tnere they might exist for /ears, If they happened to drop acres* a good water-sopply, «nsetn by any mortal eye." "But there to a vast sandy tract of country between this and the Gray, is there not?" inquired the sergeant "Yea," replied Mr. Hall; "but it is just possible that they succeeded in crossing it. This has been an unusually wet season; and, from what the stock men have told me, all the creeks and 'clay-pans' out in that direction are full of water. Jack knows the country well—better than anybody about this neighborhood. He has often been out for weeks together after stray cattle that have gone that way." "V<»ry well, sir," said the sergeant; "1 ;ua Killing to do whatever you may think aest." "It is decided lien," replied Mr. Hall. "We will take two weeks' provisions on pack-horses, and S№ if we can't come across tiisir track3.M This seemed a most sensible plan to pursue1, and accordingly a part}- v/as organized, consisting of the sergeant, three troopers, young Jack, Mr. Hall, William Lukr. end—much io Mr. HaU'. dlsgusL-Sullivan the innkeeper. Mr. Hall did his utmost to prevent Sullivan'8 Joining the expedition, no great was his abhorrence of the man; but, as he had provided himself with £ pack-horse well-laden with food and grog, Mr. Hall could not well prevent him from accompanying them. As matters turned out, it would have been very much better for Mr. Sullivan if he had allowed himself to be dissuaded; but the majority of stuaible people, when talking the affair over in after years, were decidedly of opinion that it was a very good j<?b for every one else that he had joined the expedition'. The commotion on the station -.»» the morning when the expedition started in search of the fugitives was tremendous. Pack-saddles were being adjus.ed to restive brutes whose sole aim'aL.6 object was to kick themselves free -from their encumbrances. All sorts of things were forgotten and remembered just at the last momer t At last the cavalcade got under way, and Mrs. Hall and her daughter walclied it across the plain from the verandah of the house until the gumtrees, which lined the creek for some mileB, hid it from view. The expedition proceeded some thirty miles or more without any difficulty —in- fact, the country was familiar to nearly all the riders. Several small out-stations were passed, where boundary riders and shepherds in Mr. Hall's employ1 lived their quiet uneventful lives. At one of these they halted for the night, much to the disgust of the old "hatter" who lived_there_Kilh__Ma flocks, and who nursed a wholesome antipathy to the entire human race. "Cranky Jim.'' ?ie was called, and, if a love of absolute solitude entitled him to the name, he was undoubtedly deserving of it. Had he seen two people pass that way about ten weeks ago? No, he had not seen two people pass that way— and, what was more, he did not want to see them. One was a woman, was It? Ah, well, a woman was naught to him; he ha«l seen enough of vromen in his time, he had! His otfi&r remarks were so full of imprecations and blasphemy that Mr. Hall ceased to intem>- gate him. On the second day they halted about noon in sight of the sand-hills. This was the great barrier which they knew lay between the grass country on the Barrier side and the Gray Ranges. Mr. Hall had wisely insisted upon all the water-bags felng fifilled up at the last good water-.aole; and he felt convinced that, with the supply they carried, the fifty or sixty miles* of desert ought to be safely crossed by man and beast. It was within two hours of sundown when the little party entered the unknown region. The horses staggered wearily along, occasionally sinking Into the sand up to their knees, and struggling through the scrub and prickly mimosa which grew plentifully in places upon the low hills. Nightfall came on, and the cavalei6e encamped; there was no sign of water, and they had to draw upon the supply they carried with them. Jack Hall had more than once entered these inhospitable regions in search of lost cattle, and he was under the belief that a more fertile country lay beyond it—how far distant of course he could not say; but, from whathe had gathered from the blacks he "believed three days would see them through the worst of it. For two long days the travelers toiled on through the heavy drifts of sand, but towards sundown on the third day they beheld trees ahead, at the sight of which their spirits rose amazingly; Mr. Hall ordered half-rations of water to be served out to the men and horses, for he was by no means confident, because he beheld trees tn the dim distance, that be was going to find a lake or an Inexhaustible well. Sullivan was the best-provided person of the company, for, besides two huge waUr-bag*. he had a liberal supply of spirituous liquors, which a* was liberal in dispensing—to kiasttl (To be Continued.)

He has just entered a combination to increase the price of steel rails, although he admitted some time ago that his firm was making good profits at the old prices. As the railroads pay the Increased price, they have to get the money back in the way of freight and passenger rates. The increase comes out of the pockets of the people and is unnecessary and unjustifiable. The present generation is the first that has known the telephone and the btoycle. There are today more than a million telephones in use In this country. How many cycles there are no one knews. Both inventions save steps, tteie, labor and money. It is not easy to estimate what is the extent of the Influence of snoh devices in bringing about social changes. We know that the Influence is enormous, and that the world becomes year by year an easier place in which to live. As we look through a telescope and obtain a glimpse of the wonders it reveals, or as we study the results which have been attained by experts in its use, the mind is naturally impressed with the grandeur and power of the Creator of the heavenly bodies. When we learn something of their movements so absolutely accurate that their phases and positions can be foretold with perfect certainty long centuries in advance, defying competition by the most perfectinstruments ot human devising, it isMmpossible with Sony show of reason > to deny the controlling presence of ah infinite mind. There are now 161 high schools on the accredited list of the University of Illinois, A large number of these are to be re-examined this year, and the high SAhool visitor Us' crowded with work.*as «pever before. Schools are being accredited tor whatever work is well dene. There has thus been added the work of considering the claims of high school graduates to advanced standing. There are many high schools in the state that do more work than that required for admission to the university, and the university isjurxions to recognize that fact and to encourage as much as possible such advanced work in the high schools. The university is careful alt* not to constrain small high school! to undertake more than can be well accomplished, and hence would prefer to accredit a small high school with lest than the amount required for admission to the university than with the fun amount less thoroughly done. While stimulating every high school to do ail that it ought to do, tat university st the same Urns dsstrs* that tbVhfgh school shall work out Its own problem spontaneously, rather than b r constrained to external standards.

Over in Hampshire, England, there are four prjetty girls who have mastered the rare—for a woman—accomplishment^ of bell ringing, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. These Hampshire girls are all members of the Winchester Diocesan Guild ot Change-Ringers, and also belong to the bands in their respective towns; two of them hail from Basingstoke and the other two from Alton. ' t h e latter are a clergyman's daughters and can be seen any Sunday morning or evening taking their place with the other ringers in the belfry and summoning .the congregations to church, or, oh Thursday evenings, attending the weekly practices of an art with which they are now thoroughly conversant. No great effort is required to manage a bell. What is essential Is knack,'and this these girls possess in an eminent degree; they can jring a nine or ten hundredweight bell with ease. When at work they wear loose, easy costume, adaptable for othor athletic exercises, and present n pretty picture as they take their places for a chime on the "ding-dong hell." So fascinating is the study of bell ringing that these enthusiasts spend hours over their books of instruction. A short peal is called a "touch," and when they meet (or weekly practice and one of these "touches" Is called by the instructor It is a great triumph when he announces "All's well."

His e a r n 1 ng capacity was $18 per week, but because of the prevailing hard times his income had been reduced to $12. Thkt sum, with some little change, comprised his cash capital. As he buttoned his coat about his neck he reflected cu&fully that this was a very small sum with (which to meet his expenses and to buy prftHftiitg. The "wind blew briskly down Park place as he walk toward Broadway, thinking of the coming rent day, the empty coal bin, and the new dress he had promised his wife. His thought* were saddened as be remembered that his little boy would have been nearly five years old bad he lived until Christmas. There was a sense of constriction in his throat as he. thought of last year's Christmas tree, bright with spangles, Irradiated with light and whitened with popcorn balls. Then against the walls of memory stood out clear and distinct the figure of his little boy standing in bis white nightgown in the gay dawn of Christmas day, with flushed cheeks and eyes dancing with delight, looking at the marvelous Chrlstmaa tree. On Park row, near the corner of Chambers street, them was a toy store of most wonderful variety. As Thomas came down the street, his mind intent on his own misery, his gaze fell upon one of the most pathetic figures he had ever seen. Before the window of the toy store stood a little boy, whose: nose was fattened against We pane. His body shivered with the cold, but his soul was aflame with desire, which was expressed in his hungry durated expression in the little face, the pinched nostrils, the blue circles under the eyes, and the wolfish look 'on the wan features faded away as the child turned to Thomas and said: "Say, mister, lif' me up so I kin see de candy cigarettes!" ThorT.3 lifted the boy In his strong arms c: " U !.'- range of vision included a. .he Tantalus delights of the bazaar. "I wisht me mudder was goln' V hav' a Krismua tree, but she says she can't have none dis year, 'cause ehe ain't got no dust. She scrubs in de Morse buildin' en gets $4 a week. Say, dat's a lot o' money, ain't It? Hully gee! Look at de dinky little tin eojer! Ain't he a corker! Mister, is your little boy goln' to hav' a Krismus tree?" "I'm afraid not this year sonny," Thomas replied. "My little iboy is in Heaven." "Where's dat? Across de river?" "Yes, it is across the river," replied Thomas, gravely, putting the little fellow down upon the sidewalk. "What is your name?" he continued. "Tommy O'Dowd," replied the boy, "and I live in Middle alley." ell. Tommy," said Thomas, "you "SAY, MISTER, LIT MB UP." •yes, Thomas estimated his age at 6 yeans.

And so, hand in hand, the strangely assorted pair went to the telegraph office and Thomas sent this dispatch to his wife in Harlem: "Dear Mollie: Detained down town by important business. Will be home at 11 o'clock." "Do you know the way home?" asked Thomas as they came out of the telegraph office on Park Row again. "Yes," said Tommy, scornfully. "I know all de streets. Ye goes down New Chambers street till ye comes to Roosevelt, den ye goes down Roosevelt till ye gets to Cherry en den ? are In Middle alley." They followed this Itinerary, Tommy running ahead to point out the way. They entered the alley between two enormous brick tenements, through a big Iron gate, and after a wearisome climb up crooked stairways arrived at the O'Dowd residence. Tommy went into the room, and as Thomas lingered on £he threshold he heard a strident voice say: "So that's you, you little scutl Sure you had the heart o' me ar brak I was that freckened! Ah, good evenin' to^ ye, sir," as Thorn's* stepped inside. "Come in, sir. Ifs^ittle we have, but ye're welkim f t if 'twace a palace, ilr. Tommy, ye amodhoun, you, get the gintleman a chairf" "I hope you will excuse me, Mrs. O'Dowd," said Thomas, "but I saw your little boy looking in a toy store window and thinking he might be lost I came home with him." "Now, ain't that kind o' you, sir," exclaimed Mrs. O'Dowd. "Sure It's not many would do the same, so there.'' "But ye needn't be freckened about that Uttle blaggard. Faith, he'd find his way from Harlem to the Batthery. watched Mm, Tke la- In such genial convene/Che time posted, while Tommy and his mother slipped on mackerel and potatoes. And wben Tommy hod been tucked away for the nlgfet in his motber's bed under the mantel, on which stood a plaster caet of the Virgin, with hands outspread in benediction, Thomas had a whispered talk with Mrs. O'Dowd, interrupted at frequent intervals toy e«ch exclamations as, "Ofc. dear, may your shadow never grow less!" "May your wife never attend yo«r fnnerol," etc oik Ttonmeq was walking »p >H ctreet with eager footsteps. j He stopped at a grocery atone and mode a purchase* then hurried op into Park Row again. The toy store man was potting up bfc shutters, tout Thomas prevailed on him to go inside, and at 10 o'do-fc he was back in Middle alley tgUn. Tears of delight filled Mrs. ODowd'i eyes as ahe met him at the entrance to the alley and led him up the labyrinthine staircase. Th*ce was. more mysterious whispering. Then Mrs. O'Dowd flew downstairs again to get a bundle of kindling wood. It was well that Tommy was a sound sleeper, as the fleeting forms of shadowy figures and the rustle of papers would have disturbed him. It was 11:30 when Thomas arrived at home and greeted bis anxious wife. When they retired Thomas said: "Molly, set the alarm for 4 o'clock tomorrow, and get your wraps ready, for X intend to take you along to help" play a joke on Tommy O'Dowd." She piled him with Questions, he gave her evasive replies. At 5 o'clock Thomas and his wife avrtred at- Middle alley. "Is he awake?" he asked anxiously of Mrs. O'Dowd, who met them at the door. "No; the saints be praised, he's sleepin' like the dead. Come here at the diife and watch." The door had been thrown wide open, but Mrs. O'Dowd had hung her Sunday shawl over the opening. Behind the folda of this garment the three persons watched and waited. The blinds had been carefully closed, so that not a ray of sunlight came into the room. Three kerosene, lamps were blazing with light to their utmost capacity. It was painfully still in the room, and by listening Intently Thomas thought he could hear the gentle breathing of the little boy. As the minutes ticked slowly away the suspense was almost unbearable. A movement In the bed caught the ears of the listeners. Then the bed clothes were thrown aside and the little fellow sat upright, apparently paralyzed with amazement. Upon a little table between the windows stood a Christmas tree two feet tall stuck into the middle of a bundle of wood. The light was reflected from a hundred pieces of red paper tied to the scrawny boughs, a dozen red and white popcorn balls hung like apples on the limbs. Little candles twinkled through the scant fol-» lage, while barber-pole candy, a tin soldier and a Jumping Jack were prominently displayed. It was an Aladdlnlike scene. And before this radiant vision, like a saint before a shrine, with hands clasped In adoring admiration, stood little Tommy, while his mother was weeping tears of joy with her face hidden in the shawl. Thomas and his wife stole quietly out and left them. —"flmfrgftj atftlN" mid Mr*. Thomas WKSTERN CANADA PRAIRieS. • * * « * • WeJfNW 9i tk* C«aUae«t Um la Their VertU* lUUte. The rapid progress that Is betas; made in the settlement of the fejtlls prairies of Western Canada is leading to the investigation of Its resources by those Interested in having provision made for those living in the crowded east, for those who have been struggling for years on Impoverished farms, for the renter who is unable any longer to bear up under the strain Imposed by the landlord, and for the farmer who, unable to purchase farms for his sons in his own. neighborhood, has to look around for lower priced lands. The investigation shows that it is impossible to meet these conditions success* fully outside of Western Canada.

The study of agriculture in its rudiments iu our rural schools Is one of the pressing "demands,of the times. It is a question that will trot down. It is one with which the grasfge can deal, and the grunge must agitate the reform until it has been accomplished. As H. E. Cook well says in an exchange, the Order has never in its history approved and pushed any just oanso that was not finally granted by » a r -executive and lawmaking bodies. This i i a just and righteous cause, and when this strong organization gets squarely behind the proposition with something like a definite s<lieme, sufficients .worked out and concretely present ill. then will agriculture be a part of the rural school curriculum.

But how many people have tried this - method of insuring a prompt awakening at a given hour In the morning only to find their rest throughout the night disturbed and uneasy. The brain will usually respond to the will and awaken one in the morn* iftg near the desired nour under any circumstances, but to prevent the unbroken uneasy sleep the adoption of oaly a very simple device is necsjaary. The last thing before getting injo bed, take a watch or clock and turn the hands to the hour St which one wishes to rise and gase at fhis lust long enough to fix the hour' firmly on the retentive^ memory. Then, if no other absorbing thoughts intervene between that and the moment one is locked in slumber, the night's rest will be easy and unbroken and promptly at the hour in the morning, as a rule, one will find one's- self released frdm sleep and wide awake. There is no need to keep thinking of the hour continually for a number of minutes, no need to repeat it over and over in the mind; all that makes the brain uneasyL_aiid_j;esull8 in. the disturbed slumber. Simplylook at the watch or clock, as I have indicated, and the Influence of the mind over matter will be clearly demonstrated in the morning. Try it some* night and observe how smoothly this phyflchological fact, works. P L A V l N f t . W BAM DRUM. Takes ^ | ^ ^ > .

Salvator, a Kc^ York inventor, do not go awry, says the American Invfentor. Tc Bleep with a cork jacket on is out of the question, so the inventor decided to make a preserver that would become effective only by its coming in contact with the water. It works on the principle of a water-generated gas which fills a belt and gives it buoyancy. Unlnflated, the belt is a light thing, which would. hardly be felt if worn by a sleeper, but when filled with gas it is<blown up to th« sizetjf an ordinary cork jacket. The belt is made of rubber, and is about eight Inches wide arid can be blown up by means of a - -small—cylinder* -- In this—cylinder is placed a composition of acids which, when acted upon by water, Instantly inflates, the belt, The belt has been tested in the oeeftn, and it has been found that the water acts upon the acids and inflates. the rubber in less fekan-ihree seconds. The Ingredients in this composition Mr, Salvator keeps Araecret. Doing Great Work. "And lo, the star wii'ch they saw .

It shines on Cortez again with his men in the next Christmas eve, lying before Tezcuco, which he is to enter and plunder before the end of the week. On the Christmas eve of 1529 and for ten Christmas eves thereafter the Star looks on an American Odyssey. It is the Odyssey of Alvar Nunez and his three companions, sole survivors of the expedition of Pamfilo de Narvacz, wandering along tho northern coast of Mexico, through Texas, to the Rocky Mountains, and thence to Mexico, trying to find a way to take them back to Spain. They spend one Christmas eve in being worshiped as demigods by a tribe of Indians. They Virginia spend many others in working as slaves. In 15G7 the Star sees a gathering in Antwerp. It is a terrible gathering that .conceives a thought of inhuman wickedness and ferocity. Yet out of this Christmas meeting shall a great freedom be born. For it is that of the Spanish rulers in the Netherlands, and at it is adopted the decree of the Inquisition that condemns all the inhabitants of the Netherlands, with but few exceptions, to death.

Sitting with a few companions by a camp fire in the primeval wilderness of Pennsylvania, a young surveyor looks up at it in 1753. He is George Washington,,nine days' journey on his way home from Lake Erie, .where he has been to carry a message to the commander of the French that will eiyi finally in the French and Indian war.

Florisant, Mo., Dec. 19th,—(SpeclaT) —That Dodd'a Kidney Pills are doing a great work in cUrlHg the more terrible forms of Kidney Disease, such aa Bright's'Dfsease, Dropsy and Diabetes, everybody knows. But it must also be noted that they are doing a still greater work in- wiping out thousands of cases of the earlier stages of Kidney Disease. Take for instance, Mrs. Peter Barteau of this place. She says: — I have been subject to pains In my back and knees for about three years, but since I have been taking Dodd's Kidney Pills I have been entirely cured." Others here tell similar stories. In faut, In this part of Missouri there are* scores of people who have cured the early symptoms of Kidney Disease with Dodd's l^idney Pills. The use of the Great American Kidney Remedy thus saved not only the lives of Kidney Disease victims, but thousands of other Americans from years of Bufferings.

There he married, having previously obtained a divorce from his first wife, a squire's daughter who brought him much land and gold. What could have induced him to marry again alter such a dire failure I know not. Men are inscrutable crea tures; no doubt a woman's tender glances made him for the time forget his former disappointment. I was the issue of this second marriage. My mother, a gentle creature, dying in child birth, left Lord Waters to again face an existence which had slight charm for him.

And then, without the slightest warning, 1 realized that she v a s crying. She shook off my hand a n d fumbled for her handkerchief, a n d failing to find it, she accepted the one I thrust into her wet fingers. Then, little by little, she told me from the handkerchief, a sordid story of a motor trip -in t h e mountains witho u t Mrs. Curtis, of a lost road and a broken car, and a rainy night when they—she and Sullivan, tramped eternally and dh* not get home. And of Mrs. Curtis, when they got home at -dawh, suddenly grown conventional a n d , deeply shocked.

I may for- ,- g e t that 1 have a capital charge hang-. •- l a g over my head, and that I may be • arrested at any moment." That brought her out of the hand- ' fceicaief at once.

Alison turned and called through | faint aroma of good tobacco. I vyas her hands. "Coming in- a moment, Sam," she said, and rose. "It must btvery late: Sam is home. We would better go back to the house." "Don't," I begged her. "Anchovies and juleps and Sam will go on forever, and I have you such a little lime. I suppose I am only one of a dozen or so, but—you a r e the only girl in the world. You know 1 love you, don't you dear?" Sam was whistling, an irritating bird call, over and over. She pursed her red lips and answered him in kind. It was more than 1 could endure. "Sam or no Sam," 1 said firmly, "I am gOinf? to kiss you!1' Hut Sam's voice came strident through the megaphone. "He good, you two," lie bellowed, "I've got Ihe binoculars!"' Aadyfto, under fire, we walked sedately back to the house. My pulses were throbbing—the little swish of her dress beside me on the grass was pai» and ecstasy. I had but to put out my hawj t o touch her, and I dared not. Sam, armed wjttb a megaphone and fleld glasses, bent ofcwfr the; rail and watched us with gleeful malignity. "Home early, aren't youjfc Alison •called, when ws veacfVed Ibe stepa. "Led a duh when my partner had doubled no-trumps', and she fainted. Damn the heart conTentis*!" he said cheerfully. "The other* a*e not here yet." Three Isours later I went up to bed. T had not seen Alison alone again. The noise waa at its height below, and I glanced «4own into the garden, still bright in the moonlight. Leaning against a tree, and staring Latwrestedly into the billiard room, was Johnson. '$••• ife CHAPTER XXWC In the Dining Room. That, was Satnrday night, two weeks after the wreck. The prevfous five days had been full of swfcft-following J events—the woman in the house next door, the picture in t h e theater of a man about to leap from the doomed i train, the dinner at t h e Dallaes, and Richey's discovery that Alison "was thoroughly tired, hut I slept restlessly, dreaming of two detectives* with Pittsburg warrants being held up by Hotchkiss at the point of a splint, while Alison fastened their hands with a chain that was broken and much too short. I was roused about dawn by a light rap at the door, and, opening it, I found Forbes, in a pair of trousers and a pajama coat. *U waa as pleasant a s most fleshy people a r e when they have to get up at night, and he said the telephone had been ringing for an hour, and he didn't know why somebody else in the blankety- blank house couldn't have heard it. He wo\ildn't get to sleep until noon. As he was palpably asleep on his feet, I left him grumbling and went to the telephone. It proved to be Hichey, who had found me by the simple expedient of tracing Alison, and he was jubilant, "You'll have ta come back," he said. "Got a railroad schednle there?" "I don't sleep with one in my pocket," I retroted, "hot if you'll hold the line I'll catyjsut the window to Johnson.'" H e ' s probably got one." . y' "Johnson!" I could h e a r the laugh with which Mc.Khight cemprehended the situation. He wa» stlB chuckling when 1 came badL "Train to Richmend at 6c30 a, m„" I said. "What time* is ft new?" "Four. Listen, L*llle. We've got him. Do you hearTTttrough the woman at Baltimore Then—the other woman, the lady of tae> restaurant"— he was obviously avoiding names— "she is playing our oarda for UK—No —I don't know why,, a*i I don't care. But you be at the rticubatsr to-night at eight o'clock. IT yot* caa*t shake Johnson, bring him, bless him." To this day I believe th» Sam Forbeses have not recovered from the surprise of my uncx*>ected arrival, my one appearance at dinner te» Granger's clothes, and the note «a my dresser which informed them the- next morning that 1 had folded my teats like the Arabs and silently stolen away. For at half after fiv«- .Tohnsott and 1, the former as unlrtmiisttrye tin e^er, were on our way through the dust to the station, throe miles away, and by four V the girl in the case. Tn quick succes-j that afternoon we were in Washington had come our visit to the Carter J ton. The journey had r*en uneventplace, the finding of the rest of the j fnl. Johnson: relaxed under the in- •firs r;i telegram, my seeing Alison there, and the strange interview with Mrs. Conway. The Cresson trip stood out in my memory for its serio-comic horrors What I and its one real thrill. Then—the discovery by the police of the sealskin bag and the bit of chain; Hotchkiss producing triumphantly Stnart for Sullivan and his subsequent discomfiture; McKnight at the station with Alison, and later the confession that he was out of the running. And yet, when I thought It all over, the entire week and Ita events were two sides of a triangle that was narrowing rapidly to an apex, a point And the said apex was at that moment in the drive below my window, resting hla long legs by sitting on a pipe The Home 'flftV5* was cfillfhg Alison- <tkrougu a megaphone, from the veranda. It sounded like 8am ''All-ce," fM called. "AK-ee! I'm going to have some auchov'es on toast! AU-ce!M fcleither of us heard.

I remembi-r, too^ that he mentioned the curious anomaly that permits a man about t<j he hanged to eat a hearty meal. I did not enjoy my dinner that night. Before we get into Washington I had naade an arrangement with Johnson to surrender myself at two th« following afternoon. Also, I had wtrai to Alison, asking her if she would carry oat the contract she had made. T*e detective saw me home, and left me there. Mrs. Klopton received me with digreserve. The very tone.in which] me when I would dkae told UnU something was wrong. ng basket in her hands, "it was an orderly,, well conducted household- You can ask any. of the neighbors. Meals were ouoked and, what's more, they wcru eaten; there was none of this 'htre one day und gone the next" business." "Nunseuse," I observed. "You're tired, that's all, Mrs. Klopton. And f wish you would go out; 1 want to bath^.', " i hut's not all," she suid with dignity, from the doorway. "Women cuuiinji and going here, women whose shoes I am not fit—I mean, women who are not fit to t d K h my ^hoes— coming .here as iueoleVt aa you please, und askiug fur yuu." "Cood heavens!" 1 exclaimed. "What did J'uu toll them—her, whichever it was ?" "Told her you were sick in a hospital and wouldn't be out for a year!" she said triumphantly. "And when she said she thought she'd come in und wait for you, 1 slummed t h e door on her." "What time was she here?" "Late last night. And she had a light-hatred mau across the street. If j eli« thjoiight I didn't see him she don't 1 know me." Then she closed t h e door and !eft me to my bath and my reflections. At-five minutes before eight I was at the Incubator, where 1 found Hotchkiss and McKnight. They were bending over a table, on which lay Mc- Knight's total armament—a pair of pistols, an elephant gun and an old cavalry ruber. "Draw up a chair and help yourself to pie," he said, pointing to the arsenal. "This is for the benefit of our friend Hotchkiss here, who says he is small and fond of life." Hotchkiss, who had bjewi trying t o get the wrong end of a cartridge into the barrel of one of t h e revolvers, straightened himself and mapped lit* face. "We have desperate people to handle," he said pompously, "amii we m a y need desperate means." , "Htrtehktss is like the smarll boy whose one ambition was to have people grew ashen and tremble at t h e mention of his name." McKnight jibed. Hut t h t T were* serious enough, both of them, under it all, and wtww they had told me what they plannedi. F was serious, tot). . . . . . . "You're compounding a felony;:' I remonstrated, when they had explainodi "I'm not eager to be locked' away, but, by .lore, to offer her the stolen not<« in.-tiftfhange-l'or >.<rKillivan!"' ,_,; •; "We haven%&ot either of them,.you know," McKflight remonstrated, "and we won't havw, if we don't start. Gfcmo along, Fido," tor Hotchkiss. The plan wa» simplicity Itself. According, to Hotchkiss, Sullivan was* to meet BionsonH*. Mrs..Conway's apwf$t raent a t 8:30 | N t night with the note*. He was to be ipldf-there a n d tbfe<papers destroyed. But just before that interesting flnate," McKnight ended, "we will walk* inu take t n e notes, grab Sullivan, and giiva the police a jolt that win put then* out of the cosuit."' I suppose not. one ot us, slewing around corners na t h e machine 2hat night, had. the faintest doubt thai we were on the right track, or t h a t Fate, scurvy enwugh Before, was playing into our Hands aft last. Little HotchkisB w a s in a state of fever; he alternately twltaltotd and examined t h e revolver, a n d a fear that t h e two* moments might h e synchronous kopt me uneasy. He prorSnced and dilated on the scrap trf pillow slip from the wreck, and showed me t h e stiletto, with its point i s cotton batting for safekeeping; Aad in -the intervals he implored Ricbey not to mafce- such fine calculations at the cornersv We were aJl gprave enough and very quiet, however, when we reach«d t h e large building, where Mrftl Conway had her apartment. McKrriafct left the power on, t» case we might want to-malte a quirk get-away, a m i Hotchkiss gaws ai final look at tho> revolver.!'; I had nr* weapon. Somehiu* it all ^ seemed melodramatic to, i£e verge of farue-. In the doorway Uotchkis* was a. half dozen feet ahead; Richer fell buck beside me.

Ilow ia she*** he inquired itrelevantly. '*Very well. I did not see her this morning." Hotchkiss was waiting near the elevator. McKnight put his band on my a r m .

One thing cannot fall to Impress every vlbitux to Bethlehem, and. indeed, to the Holy Land generally, who is Imbued with true Christian faith and a proper sense of the sanctity of the location and of the events that have transpired there, and that is the irore than remarkable correspondence between tho things and places shown us today as having been associated with the life and work of the Saviour and other events that enter into the structure of our religious faith and the descriptions and accounts of them, as furnished us in the pages of the Holy Scriptures. They agree with them In every respect and' H Is Impossible, after care-; fully considering and comparing them, to doubt their Identity, so exactly are they in accord with the Bible narrative.. The work in the fields, the arrangement of the buildings, the very articles of diet and clothipg of ancient days are plainly recognizable in the doings and surroundings of today. Indeed, where modern methods have not hecome obtrusive the manners and customs of the people remain much the same as lid the days of the presence on earth of the Saviour. Between the descriptions given in tfte Bible of localities, climatic and geographical conditions, dfcturces, etc., of thesff times and tti»se of today there t» hardly any discrepancy, .even 8 skeptic, rtfhsidVfing this remarkable accord of circttmstances with the Biblical narrativw, cannot but be convinced of its veracity; to the believer fit comes as a vranderful conviction, a satisfactory corroboration or encouragement to see things aB! those" wfto described them so 'graphically •aw them so long ago.—Columbian; Magazine, All members of the local Hrfe of the Are requested to consult with E their officers concerning the •" Great Cash Prize Contest For All Hives In the County Only members in good stan are eligible.

W. Chadwick, a civil engineer of Ann Arbor, aud publisher of a number of similar and highly satisfactory county maps, proposes to collect the necessary information from a personal search o£ the recoJds aud canvass of the territory, with which to make the map. £f this map is published, which will depend upon its receiving the high apprecation as similar maps have done elsewhere the people of Livingston county can be assured the most complete, accurate and well made up yet published in this part of the state. Not a map like the old atlasses whiciisold at from $1U to 115. This one will be a cloth map in a much handier and compact form of a wall map, containing all the features of the atlasses such as land owners names property lines, acreage, houses-, roads and in addition a directory of great value and other new map ideas. Another fine part is that these maps will be sold at the price of $2.85 to subscribers, a price thata within reach of all. Sample maps brought from othar counties which have been seen by many, speak of the work, and a study of these at your first chance will convince you of their individual as well as public value and use. As the work progresses agents o£ the publisher will call at every home in the county for the purpose of correcting t h e rough township plats, explaining the maps and to ascertain whether or not the necessary 2000 orders needed to publish the map can be obtained. They will give to subscribers signed guarantees stating clearly the contents, quality and price of the map so as to leave no misunderstandings. \\ atch for the canvassers for the Chadwick map and directory of Liviugton county; also see the papers of later issue for they will have much of interest to all about the maps.

Middle Hass island and I'ut-in-Hay, and it is probable they will remain several days, and possibly over Christmas, for there is no steamer able to buck the mammoth ice banks thut have risen and no way to reach these places except by steamer. Just uue hour after the foot party arrived in Sandusky the- l a k e s i d e tore loose from the floe and made her dock, bringing 15 other passengers, all w o m e n , w h o were afraid to risk the ice. She was to have made a return trip to Toledo, but will probably he held in port, as many of her steel plates are badly damaged. The Lakeside is the only steamer running between Sandusky and Toledo at this s e a t o n of the year. Men with the aid of ropes assisted the womeu and children over the bides of the vessel, and the party set out for shore. Fifteen women and children decided to remain. The constant fear that the ice would shift, leaving t h e party adrift on a floe which might be swept into the lake, unnerved the women and made the task for the men difficult. In addition there w e r e several small children in the party, one barely ti years old. Through the darkness stifled cries would announce that someone had fallen into a half-hidden crevass. The ».vho!e party would stop while willing hands rescued the unfortunate. Then all would presu forward into the gale again. Kour hours after they left the ship the adventurers readied the shore. .Many were bleeding from contact with sharp pinnacles of ice, all were numb with cold, the women were faint and the children too exhausted to cry. If is feared the condition of several will prove critical. Mrs. Stetson Gets Eddy Cross. The will of Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the Christian Science church, was filed for probate. The bulk ol the $2.000,000 which Mrs. Eddy is estimated to have left goes to the .Mother church at Bos ton. The most interesting tiling about. the will is that Mrs. Augusta E. Stetson of New York citv is liequeathed the handsome piece ot ,'ewelrv known as the "cross of diamonds." It is in the form of a large brooch, two or more inches in diameter, and is one of the most valuable pieces of jewelry which Mrs. Eddy possessed. This bequest conies as a surprise to Christian Scientists, especially as the beneficiary is now excommunicated from the church, it is ali'eadv b"ing said that Mrs. Eddv in. fact had au abiding affection for .Mrs. Stetson, and that, the outcome of her dimoultb'S in the church was not of M^s.

An Alaskan Luncheon. Runners of woven Indian basketry, with white drawn work doilies at each of the 12 covers, were used on an oval mahogany table. The doilies were made at Sitka. In the middle of the table a mirror held a tall central vase of frosted glass, surrounded by four smaller va6es, nil tilled with white spring blossoms. The edge of the mirror was banked with the Bume flowers. Four totem poles were placed on dollies in the angles made by the runners. Place cards were water colors of Alaskan scenery. Abalonc shells held salted nuts, and tiny Indian baskets held bonbons. The soup spoons were of horn, several of the dishes used were made by Alaskan Indians, and the cakes were served on baskets. The menu was as follows; Polsson a la Bering S e a (halibut chowder), Yukon climbers (broiled salmon, potatoes Julicnnel, snowbirds avec auroraborealia t roast duck with Jelly), Shungnak river turnips, Tanana beets, Skagway hash isalad), Fairbanks nuggetB iripe strawberries arranged on individual dishes around a central mound of powdered sugar), arctic slices (brick ice cream), Circle City delights (small cakes), Klondike nuggets (yellow cheese in round 'Bulls on crackers,).'Nome firewater,.(coffee)> - Woman's Home Companion.

Then you pour it out and let it cool and pound it. and then you put it in a thing that bores holes in it. Then you screw it together, and paint it, and put steam In it, and it goes splendidly: and they take it to a drafting room and make1 a bluep rint of it.

' " T w o Very Old Ladies. We have heard a great deal lately about long-lived people, but it is probable that the oldest two people In the world today are F t a u Dutkievltz and another old lady named Babavasllka. The former lives at Poaem, in Prussian Poland, and was born on February 21, 178D. She is therefore one hundred and twenty-five years old. Tbe latter, however, is nine months her senior, having been born in May, 1784. She is still a fairly hale old woman, and for nearly one hundred years worked in the fields.

Following it, an attack on us appeared in their editorial columns; sneering at the claims w e made particularly regarding Appendicitis. We replied through the regular papers and the "weekly" thought we hit. back father too hard And thereupon sued for libel. The advertisement the "weekly" attacked UR about claimed that in many caaewof appendicitis an operation could be avoided by discontinuing indigestible food, washing out. the bowels and taking a predigestPd food Grape- Nutn. Observe we said MANY cape? not all. Wouldn't that, knowledge he a comfort to those who fear a aurgeon'B knife as they fear death? The "weekly" writer said that was a lie. We replied that, he was ignorant of the facts. He was put on the stand and compelled to admit he was not a Dr. and had no medical knowledge of appendicitis* and never investigated to find out if the testimonal letters to our Co. were genuine. A famous surgeon testified that when nn operation was required Crai>eNu?s wnuld not obviate it. True. We never claimed that when an operation waft required Grape-Nuts u-oulri prevent it. The surgeon testified bacteria IgermRl helped to bring on an attack and bacteria was grown by undigested food frequently. We claimed and proved by other famous experts that undigested food was largely responsible for appendicjfia. Wc showed by expert testimony tha* many case* are healed without, a knife, but by stopping the use nf food which did not1 digest, and when food wart required again it was helpful to use a predigested food which did not overtax the weakened organs of digestion. When a pain in the right side apprs.ru it is not always necessary to be rushed off to a Cereal Co., Ltd., Gave to Bring Out Facts hospital and at the risk of death be cut. Plain common sense s h o w s the better way is to stop food that evidently has not been digested. Then, when food is required, use an easily digested food. Grape-Nuts or any other if you know it to be predtgested (partly digested before taking). W e brought to Court analytical chemists from New York, Chicago and Mishawaka, Ind., who swore to tho analysis of Grape-Nuts and that part of the starchy part of the wheat and barley had been transformed into Rugar, the kind of sugar produced in the human body by digesting starch (the large part of food). S e m e of the State chemists brought, on by the "weekly" snid Grape-Nuts could not be called .1 "predlgested" food because not all of it was digested outside the body. The other chemists said any food which had been partly or half digested outside the body was commonly known ns "prerligested." Splitting hairs about the moaning of a word. It is sufficient that if only one-half of the food is "predigesled," it is easier on weakened stomach and bowels thnn food in which no part is predigested. To show ihe facts we introduce l)r. Thos. Darlington, former chief of the N. Y. Doard of Health, Dr. Ralph W. Webster, chief of the Chicago Laboratories, and Dr. B. Sachs, N. Y. If we. were a little severe in our denunciation of a writer, self-confessed Ignorant about. appendicitis and its cause, it i s possible tho public will excuse us, in view of the fact, that our head, Mr, C. \V. Post; has made a lifetime study of food, food digestion and effects, and the conclusions are indorsed by many of the best medical authorities of the day. Is it possible that, w e are at fault for suggesting, as a Father and Mother might, to one of the family who announced a pain in the side: "Stop using the food, greasy meats, gi^Yles, mince pie, cheese, too much starchy ' a S p l e n d i d C h a n c e food, etc., etc., which has not been digested, then when again ready for food use Grape- Nuts because it is easy of digee*iO»t" Or should t h e child be at. once e e r t e d est t o a hospital and cut? - - ^ V •, . ^ We have k n o w n of many c a a w e r e e f e j a i *tfeft> - approaching signs of appendicitis h a v e <Wiappeared by the suggestion being followed.

INTERESTING INQUIRY BEGUN present day is a fur cry in point of time, distance and customs of celebration. Aside from tho church services there is much of interest in the laud of "Mo'sieur" at Christmas. The day is chiefly for children, though, of course, the grown-ups lose sight of the real meaning of it no more than do the fathers and mothers' of our own land. In France the great symbol of Christmas is the mistletoe. All over Northern France it is cut iii carloads, carried to the quaint quays of seaport towns and shipped to England— for John Bull comes nowhere near supplying the Christmas demand for mistletoe in his own land. Just before Christmas the French lads and lassies go out into the hoary old forests and search for mistletoe. The boy who sees the first tuft gives, a shout of joy, climbs the tree, cuts it, and is carried back in triumph with his prize, a3 king of the feast. T h e mistletoe is hung above the entrance to a door and the young girls pass beneath it, one by one, to be kissed by the first lad who catches them. On all Paris streets at Christmas mistletoe is for sale, and it is a real Christmas necessity. A queer superstition clings to this winter blossom in the minds of the ignorant French peasants—the burning of the mistletoe. Ugly practices and crazy exaltation have been known to take holti of an entire village, with the superstitious excitement attending the burning of the mistletoe. The custom is, apparently, an ancient one from the Celts. A part of the blossom is broken up into little bits, placed in a pan and held over the blazing Are.

Santa Claus them a r e very similar to the American Halloween. Candles always cower the Christmas tree, yet this is never In full blaze until the night of Christmas day in Germany. There is no week of festivities lasting until cue first day of the year, as in this country. Christmas festivities in England are^ probably more fully enjoyed tiiau iu any other country. Many of the old English customs have been transplanted to America, but many of them are still known only in the country across the sea. In no other country are tho festivities more joyfully welcomed than in England, where the "old honor," as it is called, has not tied. In that country it is the-custom on Christmas eve, after the usual devotions are over, to light large candles and throw on the hearth a huge log, called the Yule log, or Christmas block. At court and in the homes of the wealthy an ofilcer, named the Lord of Misrule, is appointed to superintend the Christmas revels. 1¾ Scotland a bimilar officer is appointed ami is called the Abbot of Unreason. This is merely one mode erf creating an abundance of fun, but long years ago this officer was really appointed to superintend the festivities. In the year 1515 the office was abolished by un act of parliament. The w>ign of the original Ix)rd V>f Misrule started at Halloween and continued until Candlemas day. The favorite pastimes which he now presides over are gaming, music, conjuring, dipping for nuts and apples, dancing and "fool plough," hot cockles, blind man's buff, etc. In England the favorite dish for dinner at this season of the year is the boar's head with an apple or orange in his mouth and set off with rosemary, plum pudding and mince pie. The English children look forward even more eagerly to the Christmas season than the American children. It is their Thanksgiving and Christmas combined. The English Christmas season lasts from the night before December 25 until the first day of the new year, and everything is merry during that time. The season long years ago wan celebrated to a greater extent in England than it. is today on account of the fact that the heads of many of tho churches complained that the season should be more sacred and not so much given over to the joyous proi '-•/•^P^fefcltR r r J@M <*• fchoir bursts forth, in glad, 'j%Bs*ie*n t cadence, the ringing «f the "Gloria in Excelsis."

The German Kris Kringlo never distributes any toys, but he carries a large bag of nuts. These nuts are distributed among the German children on Christmas day. Santa is peculiar in that h.c also carries a bundle of switched. They arc for the children who have? been disobedient <l»ving the past year. When the r u t s a>C distributed the bad chilfftcn receive a switching, instead of their portion of the nuts. In distributing the nuts they are usually pTacod in the center of the table and Sanfff. Claus hrttids them to the youngsters. Frequently the lads are too anxious for their portion of the goodies and the switches in the hands of Santa come down across their shoulders with a whack. Then trwy keep a safe distance from the table. The German children believe in Santa Claus until they become abou* 10 years of age. In Germany only oneday !s celebrated, Christmas eve being left unnoticed. This Is more so among the laboring people, as the shops and factories never give a half holiday on the day before Christmas.

Now that one comes to think of it, it is a mistake to say that March 4 will be a black letter day because as a matter of fact, unless there shall be an extra session of congress, most of the employees of the present house will continue to draw pay until the iiext house convenes, for except in the event of calling au extra session, the clerks and the door keepers end some other employees must continue in the service during the summer mouths to cure for the eapitol; but most of the employees while still drawing their salaries will have- Tittle to do until next December, when in their cases flie real black letter day will dawn.

W 4 p m ^ ***>• A census of the Dominion of Canada will he made during 1911. It will show that during the past ducade a . remarkable development has takiA place, and, when compared With t h o population, a greater percentage of in* crease lu industries of all krada t h a * has ever been shuwu by any country? Commerce, ruining, agriculture aad railways iuivw iaade a atuady marchv ouward. Thu population will be considerably over U.UUO.UUO. Thvaaaada of milea uf railway lines have been conetructlou sinco tho last census was taken ten years a|jo. This construction waa made msceasary by the opening up of the now agricultural districts iu Western Canada, in which, there have been pouring; year a l t e r year au Increasing number pt settlers, uutll the present year will wiUieaa settlement of over 300,01)0, ur a trifle. lews than ouu-third of tho immigratlou to the United States during the aaat> period with Its y^.UOO.OUU ot1 populatioa. Even with these hundreds of thousands of iiBwcomera, the great majority of whom gu upon thx? land, thezo is ttill available room, tor huadreda of thousands additionaL T h o ceu^us llgures will therefore shew a great---a vast—increase in the number of farms under occupation, as well aa in the output of the farms. When the figures of the splendid Immigration are"added to the natural Increase, the total will surprise even tho moat optimistic. To the excellent growth that tile western portion of Canada. will show may largely be attributed the commercial and industrial growth., of the eastern portion of Canada. All Canada is being upbuilded, and in, this, transformation there Is taking" part the people from many countries, b u t only from those countries that produce the strong and vigorous. A a : some evidence of the growth of t h e western portion of Canada, ln agricultural industry, it is instructive to point out t h a t over 100,000 homesteads of 160 acres each have been, transferred to actual settlers in t h e past two years. T M B means 25,00(1 square miles of territory, and then.' when Is added the 40,000 160-acre preemption blocks, there is an additional lft.000 square miles, or a total of 35,- W*0 square miles—a territory as larga as the State of Indiana, and settled within two years. Reduced to the. producing capacity Impeiatlve on t h a cultivation restriction of 60 acres of cultivation on each ICO-acr© homestead within three years, there will be within a year and a half from now upwards of 5,000,000 additional acrea from this one source added to the entire producing area of thq Provinotjfc of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and A4* berta. 'V In 1901, at tho time of tha taa4 census of Canada, successful agrtavJ* ture in tho Provinces of MaadUtfkav Saskatchewan and Alberta waa a s experiment to mauy. Thare w e r e skeptics who could not believe t h a t It was possible to grow thirty, forty and even fifty bushels of wheat to t h e acre, or that as high as one hundred and thirty bushels of oats to the acre could be grown. The skeptics are not to be found today. The evidence of the hundreds of thousands of farraera is too overwhelming. Not only have the lands of western Canada proven their worth In the matter of raisins an the smaller field groins, but for mixed farming, and for cattle raising there Is no better country anywhere. The climate Is perfectly adapted to all these pursuits as well as admirable for health. The Dominion government literature, descriptive of the country* Is what all that aro Interested should read.

Upon this coin* munlestlon depends whether or not diplomatic relations are to be con* tinned with Austria-Hungary. _ The United States has refused to discuss the. circumstances of the legality of the submarine attack, and has declined to accede to Austria's request for a bill of particulars upon which original American demands were based. As described by a high administration official, the note is every bit as strong as the first one addressed to the dual monarchy. This is taken here to mean that Austria must yield to the demands of the United States or at least repudiate the statement of her admiralty in regard to the details of the Ancona jinking if a rupture with . the United States is to be avoided. A prompt reply 4s- requested, and officials are of the opinion that one will come within 10 days. The demands of the United States, which are reiterated, are for disavowal, punishment of the submarine commander, and reparation by the payment of indemnity for the Americans killed and injured. It can be said authoritatively, that the American government looks on the situation as grave and will await with considerable anxiety Vienna's next move. Any hope that exists in official circles that Austria will accede to the American demands seems to be based on the beltef that Germany will bring pressure on her alley to affect an adjustment of the controversy.

"Yes,** she answered swiftly, "and you had better give the word*.

It Is less than an hour since-the guard was relieved, lor Captain Fox left me in order to make the rounds, and these men will not know. You understand r . "Perfectly. And the countersign?" my hand touching her arm.- The infantry camp lay. between us and the road. The campnre In front yielded just enough light to enable me to study out our surroundings. The hand still played noisily in the courtroom above. The camp was quiet* the soldiers apparently sleeping on the ground. I could perceive only a few tents, showing white in the firelight, but the figures of sentries appeared here and there, slowly pacing their beats. Had I been alone I should have crept forward and endeavored to ills by unseen, burl was conscious of the hand which grasped my sleeve, and my eyes fell to her face. "You are my guide tonight," I whispered softly. "Have you some plan already devised? There must be instant action." "Hardly that; this has all occurred so quickly, so unexpectedly, I have had no time in which to think. Isn't it best to go straight ahead, and run the chance T" " ^ "Past the guard yonder?" "Yes; I am not greatly afraid of him! We have the word} and Captain Pox and I were together when I passed here before. He will remember me, and have no suspicion. Only there may be officers sitting on the veranda of the hotel." "It looks dark and deserted from here, and the hour is lata." "True; I suppose all who are net on duty are at the dance. Besides, there is no other way in which you can attain the stables. I—I am ready to try it—are you?" I answered with the pressure of my -Certainly; that wiU be the safest and best thing for you to do. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you; nothing I cajr ever do will repay the service you have rendered me. You are a wonderfully brave girl." "Do you think so? Oh, but I am neither brave nor wonderful. I have scarcely known what I was doing; it didn't seem as if there was anything else I could do. But I know now; I have no doubt any more—unless— unless you refuse to let me." "I refuse! I do not understand what I could refuse. All that remains is for you to go to your room. You will be perfectly safe here. "How wiU I be safe here?" she asked indignantly. "Do you suppose they will spare me, merely because I am a woman? This has not been done in secret; there are too many who know my part in your escape to ever keep the truth hidden. Colonel Pick* ney will have to make his report and shield himself from blame. There is not- an officer here who will stand openly in my defense, unless It be Captain Fox, and he could not help me, Is it under such conditions you desire 1 remain here?" "But do you realise what going with me will inevitably mean?" "Yeb, I realize—not only the peril and hardship, but zv^v issue involved. I made my choice back in the courthouse. It is too late to withdraw." She paused as though unable to find expression, breathing heavily, and her \ face sank until I could no longer see her eyes. "When—when I told Colonel Pickney that—that you were my husband," she faltered, driven to it by my continued silence, "I spoke hastily, it is true; for my only thought just then was the necessity for saving your life. I felt that—that I could do no less, and—and I desired to justify my ac- | tion. They—they had to know* why I did it; do you not understand7~ 1—I am a Union woman; they have trusted me always, these men; even tonight they told me the countersign besleeve. There was no response; neither were they withdrawn. She drew a long breath, and stepped bravely forward. The way was clear, easily followed even in the darkness, and I walked close beside her.

We passed oot^Beyond the glow of the revealing light, to where our eyes were able to sweep the darkened porch. There were a dozen chairs standing back of the rail, but none were occupied. She gave a little sob of relief, both hands nervously grasping my sleeve. "Thank God!" she said fervently, "now if we only have five minutes more!" ••What CHAPTER XX.

But we must go at once." "Yfes, and—and thank you." We crept forward along the shadow of the orchard fence, until we mingled with the horses fastened at the hitching rail. I selected among them, as best I could in the darkness, two that seemed well adapted to bur .purpose. I helped her silently into the saddle, thrusting one of my revolvers into the empty holster, and then mounted myself. "Which way had we better go?" I asked, my face close, our horses touching. "Along the south' road at first; there is a cut-off Just back of the old school." "And the pickets—do you know where they are posted?" "At the ford of the Green Briar— the main ford." "There are none at Benton?" "No; I do not think they even know the river is fordable there; it is not on the maps." We rode forward slowly, my hand on her bridle rein, keeping in the deeper shadows along the side of the road, until we passed beyond the last house of the village. If the camp was not alarmed for another half hour, our pursuers would be given a hard task. Strange that the Federal scouts had :&ev%r located the Benton ford. To be sure it was narrow, and of no value In high water, yet an ideal place for raiding parties to cross, and all those hills beyond were full of guerrilla bands eager to strike quick and get safely away. That they dared to attack small bodies of troops, and especially poorly guarded wagon trains, had been demonstrated more than once, and this secret ford gave them easy opportunity. The Cowans certainly knew of its feasibility, and the wonder was they had never utilized it before. The longer I thought the more I began to dread the unknown dangers ahead—the gauntlet we must run before attaining the Confederate lines. We could baffle pursuit, but if once we came into contact with those irregulars of the mountains—merciless, irresponsible— no one could predict the result. I could skulk along through the night, discard my horse, travel afoot, and thus avoid encountering any of those villains. I was myself a mountaineer, and knew the secret trails. But with her beside me, the two of us mounted, such a feat was almost impossible. I must find her food and shelter, and we could not travel on horseback without leaving a trail unconcealed. To be sure, I knew her of old; that she was strong, resourceful, fearless—yet she was a woman to be protected from Insult, to be guarded against exposure; more, she was the woman I loved. But would she be in any less danger if 1 compelled her to return to Lewisburg? She would be exposed to indignities, to almost certain persecution from Raymond. "Noreen," I said, turning my face toward her. "Do you really think it best to try this ride with me?** "You do not wish me to go?" she asked, as instantly reining up. "You want me to return?" "No, not that. I nave no thought but for your own good. Only do you understand the perils through which we must pass in those mountains?" „, "Yes, 1 do understand," she answered soberly, "and I comprehend, as you cannot, the danger of my returning to Lewisburg. I will never go back there; but, if you think it best for us to part, I will endeavor to reach Charleston alone." "You would rather go on with me?M "I made that choice, but if you consider me a burden—" "No, it is not that, Noreen," I interrupted, touched by the regretful tone of her voice. "It was of you I was thinking, not myself. Then we go on together?" She was silent, her eyes on the darkness ahead. "It must be your decision," I insisted. ~ "I made my choice an hour ago." she answered frankly. I waited an instant, thinking she might say more, but she sat motionless in the saddle. Just what her decision signified I could not judge. It seemed to me that between two dangers she had simply chosen the one she deemed to be the lesser. M was not affection for me. but f « « others, which urged her forwjW«Orasptag her bridle rein, I redM* through | the dark without aaothflJPwofi.

COUPLE LEAVE FOR VIRGINIA TO SPEND HONEYMOON .* * ' • " / $ : L* v v .<•, Washington—President Woodrow Wilson and Mrs, Edith Boiling Gait were married in simple, quiet elegance at 8:30 o'clock Saturday night, in the home of the bride in DU Pont circle, and left at 11:40 o'clock on their private car for Hot Springs, Va., where they will pass their honeymoon. Shortly after 10 o'clock the president and Mrs. Wilson entered a wait- S WTrfta Jttouae automobile and mo- MMHMML \1UL across the « S S W ^ p r i v a t e car sjg¥^gjmg« mi the rail- At Hot Springs* where they arrived at 8:15 Sunday morning, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson had planned to live at the Homestead hotel until after New Tear's day, unless some development should necessitate the president's earlier return to the capital. Two of White House automobiles have sent on ahead, and the couple exto pass their honeymoon motor* golfing and walking over the ntaln trails. sides the secret service guard, party was accompanied by one LOgrapher. The president will keep in" touch with the White House over special wires. fs Simple Home Wedding, , . Because the wedding arrangements and the honr of the ceremony had been kept a close secret, there were few on the streets about the White House, but near the bride's home the crowd was held back by police lines spread fa the afternoon. Everything war in readiness for 4s* ceremony when the president arrived and it proceeded without music. Jfsdther the president nor Mrs. Gait attendants and there were no nor flower girls. Neither the the navy nor the diplomatic was represented and the occaraa essentially what both of the townle had wished it to be—a home Were About Thirty Guests. Irst floor of the bride's is two communicating rooms, a-W*dd}»g bower had been arranged with a backgresmd of farleyanse and which extended {fee floor to the ceiling. Overwas a canopy of green in of a shell lined with Scotch fcrtfco background at the a large the safrror was a and the timers of the with orchids. warn om both sides of the peared at the head of the staircase, which was decorated with ferns, asparagus vines and American beauty roses. They descended to the lower floor, where the guests were grouped informally. Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Protestant Episcopal church, of which the bride is a communicant, was waiting beneath the canopy to perform the ceremony, and with him to assist was the president's pastor, Rev. James H. Taylor, of the Central Presbyterian church. Mrs. William H. Boiling, the bride's mother, gave her in ^marriage. The president stood to the right of the clergymen and the bride stood on their left. At once, Dr. Smith began the words of the Episcopal marriage service, the president making his responses first, and then the bride making hers. After the bride promised to "love cherish and obey", the president placed the wedding ring, a plain band of~gold, on her finger and then, after a prayer and while the couple clasped their right hands together, Dr. Smith declared them man and wife. The brief and simple ceremony was past How the Bride Was Dressed. At the ceremony and luncheon afterward, for which a string orchestra played, the bride wore her traveling dress, a black silk velvet gown, and picture hat of black beaver with no trimming* whatever except one feather slightly upturned on the left side. At her throat she wore the president's-, wedding gift, a magnificent diamond brooch. The skirt of her gown was of walking length and cut on full lines. The waist had silken embroidery of bine, shading from the deep tones of royal blue to delicate shades of pastel and was threaded with silver. The lower part or the waist was embroidered on black net over a band of silver in the design of lilies, below which was a girdle of black velvet The sleeves of the gown were of black net fashioned in tiny tucks, with Ions; bell-shaped cuffs of embroidered velvet that came well down over the hand. Her collar, which was high and up-steading* was of black lace. When she left on her honeymoon Journey Mrs. Wilson wore over her a far eoat of broadtail, with bands of Yukon and sauff to match. She wore a chin-chin coBar. Upstairs ia the bride's roost was net aside Cor Che wedding gifts, which despite iatisaatlons the White HOMO that nothing be by any others than relatives and frienda, ran into the In defereacjo to the hawses o f Washington-vrhe United States government'S\ second note to Austria on the sinking of the Ancona was cabled to Vienna -Sunday. Upon this com* municftUon depends whether or not diplomatic relations are to be contlnued with Austria-Hungary. The United States has refused to discuss the circumstances of the legality of the submarine attack, and has declined to accede to Austria's request for a bill of particulars upon which original American demands were based. As described by a high administration official, the note is every bit as strong as the first one addressed to the dual monarchy. This is taken here to mean that Austria must yield to the demands of the United States or at least repudiate the statement of her admiralty in regard to the details of the Ancona .sinking if a nurture with.the United States is to be avoided. A prompt reply i s - requested, and officials are of the opinion that one will come within 10 days. The demands of the United States, which are reiterated, are for disavowal, punishment of the submarine commander, and reparation by the payment of indemnity for the Americans killed and Injured. It can be said authoritatively, that the American government looks on the situation as grave and will await with considerable anxiety Vienna's next move. Any hope that exists in official circles that Austria will accede to the American demands seems to be based on the belief that Germany will bring pressure on her alley to affect an adjustment of the controversy. Aa Washington views. the situation, there is one loophole through which/ Austria may avert the crisis without immediately yielding to this government's demands. This might be accepted if the foreign office at Vienna should find itself able to repudiate the admiralty statement which confirmed the American evidence that the Ancona, while at a standstill, was torpedoed and sunk with passengers still on board. That statement by the Austrian admiralty is the keystone one which the United States rests its case. As long* as it stands unrepudiated this government will feel It has all the evidence" necessary and that, it can not enter into a discussion of other circumstances which are regarded as immaterial.

The infantry camp lay. between as and the road. The c&mpflre la front yielded just enough light to enable me to study out our surroundings. The hand still played noisily in the courtroom above. The camp was quiet, the sol* dlers apparently sleeping on the ground. I could perceive only a few tents, showing white in the firelight, but the figures of sentries appeared here and there, slowly pacing their beats. Had I been alone I should have crept forward and endeavored to silo by unseen, but' I was conscious of the hand which grasped my sleeve, and my eyes fell to her face. "You are my guide tonight," I whispered softly. "Have you some plan already devised? There must be instant action. so Quickly, so unexpectedly, I have had no time in which to think. Isn't it best to go straight ahead, and run the chance?" ~ ^ "Past the guard yonder V "Yes; I am not greatly afraid of him!

"The spy you fellows planned to hang in the morning," I answered, amused by his unexpected good humor. "Sorry, Jack, but I'll have, to gag you." i "The pleasure is mine; don't mention it," and he winked facetiously, jwith a nod of his head toward the heavily breathing colonej. I bound a bit of rag over his mouth, more to give him an excuse for silence than because I had any fear he would raise an alarm. Noreen had silently opened the door, and slipped out into the corridor. With a swift glance Over the three helpless men left behind, I Joined her, and tightly closed the door. The light of the distant lamp revealed her face, but her eyes were serious. "Better leave the musket leaning against the wall," I whispered, noting she still grasped the weapon. "It will only arouse suspicion. There are two guards at the front entrance?" "Yes," she answered swiftly, "and you had better give the word. If they atop you and ask any Questions, give them any name you please—only yoa came with dispatches from General Ramsay two hours ago, and have been with Colonel Pickney ever since.

That fa better; BOW we will chat aa we go—about—about West J>oint Do you remember, lieutenant that last cadet dance?

Apparently w* «Joa were upon her, a w 1 made some inane response to her words, yet I t t v the sentries at J fhd door noses attilr to tti+airftiffl and "Certainly; that will be the safest and best thing for you to do. I cannot tell yon how grateful I am to you; nothing I can-ever do will repay the service you have rendered me. You are a wonderfully brave girl." "Do you think so? Oh, but I am neither btave nor wonderful. I have scarcely known what I was doing; it didn't seem as if there was anything else I could do. But I know now; I have no doubt any more—unless— unless you refuse to let me." "I refuse! I do not understand what I could refuse. All that remains 1B for you to go to your room. You will be perfectly safe here." "How wiH I be safe here?" she asked Indignantly. "Do you suppose they will spare me, merely because I am a woman? This has not been done in secret; there are too many who know my part in your escape to ever keep the truth hidden. Colonel Pickney will have to make his report and shield himself from blame. There is not- an officer here who will stand openly in my defense, unless it be Captain Fox, and he could not help me, la it under such conditions you desire I rejnain here?" "But do you realise what going with » e will inevitably mean?" "Yea, I realize—not only the peril and hardship, but s7*rv issue Involved. I made my choice back in the courthouse. It is too late to withdraw." She paused as though unable to find expression, breathing heavily, and her "Hardly that; this has all occurred \ face sank until I could no longer see her eyes. "When—when I told Colonel Pickney that—that you were my husband," she faltered, driven to It by my continued silence, "I spoke hastily, it is true; for my only thought Just then was the necessity for saving your life. I felt that—that I could do no less, and—and I desired to Justify my acber me, and have no suspicion. Only ftion.

Besides, there is no other way in which you can attain the stables. I—I am ready to try It—are you?" I answered with the pressure of my hand on the fingers clasping my sleeve. There was no response; neither were they withdrawn. She drew a long breath, and stepped bravely forward. The way was clear, easily followed even in the darkness, and 1 walked close beside her. Within a few yards of the fellow she gave vent to a little ripple of laughter,- barely enough to attract attention, and again slipped her hand into the support of my arm. The soldier stood at attention, but made no effort whatever to bar our progress. We strolled on slowly, passing directly beneath the glare of the lamp. We attempted to talk, but I retain no memory of a single, word that was uttered. My heart was beating like an-engine, and my throat was dry, the] fingers of one hand gripping the butt of a revolver In my belt. I was dimly aware of the tremor in her voice, the pressing closer to me of her slender figure. We passed out^fteyond the glow of the revealing light, to where our eyes were able to sweep the darkened porch. There, were a dozen chain standing back of the rail, bnt none were occupied. She gave a little sob of relief, both hands nervously grasping my sleeve. "Thank God!" she said fervently, "now if we only have five minutes more!" •'What CHAPTER X X A Map Nearer. "The stables?" I asked, horses are there?" "Officers' mounts; but there were several others tied at the bitch rail an hoar ago. They appeared to be good stock; better even than the government horses." I could perceive them dimly, from where we aknlked la the shadow of the building. I took a atop or two forward, circling the house, so aa to better approach the animals along the of a s orchard fence.

Surely you do not think that I will ever take advantage; that I will ever misconstrue your real purpose?" "No! bat will yon live up to the obligation? Oh, yon do not see the situation at all!

We crept forward along the shadow of the orchard fence, until we mingled with the horses fastened at the hitching rail. 1 selected among them, as best I could in the darkness, two that seemed well adapted to our purpose. I helped her silently into the saddle, thrusting one of my revolvers Into the empty holster, and then mounted myself. "Which way had we better go?" I asked, my face close, our horses touching. "Along the south road at first; there is a cut-off Just back of the old school." "And the pickets—do you know where they are posted?" "At the ford of the Green Briar— the main ford." "There are none at Benton?" "No; I do not think they even know the river is fordable there; it 1B not on the maps." We rode forward slowly, my hand on her bridle rein, keeping in the deeper shadows along the side of the road, until we passed beyond the last house of the village. If the camp was not alarmed for another half hour, our pursuers would be given a hard task. Strange that the Federal scouts had "nev^r located the Benton ford. To be sure it was narrow, and of no value in high water, yet an ideal place for raiding parties to cross, and all those hills beyond were full of guerrilla bands eager to strike quick and get safely away. That they dared to attack small bodies of troops, and especially poorly guarded wagon trains, had been demonstrated more than once, and this secret ford gave them easy opportunity. The Cowans certainly knew of its feasibility, and the wonder was they had never utilized it before. The longer I thought the more 1 began to dread the unknown dangers ahead—the gauntlet we must run before attaining the Confederate lines. We could baffle pursuit, but if once we came into contact witb those irregulars of the mountains—merciless, irresponsible— no one could predict the result. I could skulk along through the night, discard my horse, travel afoot, and thus avoid encountering any of those villains. I was myself a mountaineer, and knew the secret trails. But with her beside me, the two of ue mounted, such a feat was almost Impossible. I must find her food and shelter, and we could not travel on horseback without leaving a trail unconcealed. To be sure, I knew her of old; that she was strong, resourceful, fearless—yet she was a woman to be protected from insult, to be guarded against exposure; more, she was the woman I loved. But would she be in any less danger if 1 compelled her to return to Lewisburg? She would be exposed to indignities, to almost certain persecution from Raymond. "Noreen," I said, turning my face toward her. "Do you really think it best to try this ride with me?" "You do not wish me to go?" she asked, as instantly reining up. "You want me to return?" "No, not that. I have no thought but for your own good. Only do you understand the perils through which we must pass In those mountains?" „ "Yes, I do understand," she answered soberly, "and 1 comprehend, as you cannot, the danger of my returning to Lewisburg. I will never go back there; but, if you think it best for us to part, I will endeavor to reach Charleston alone." "You would rather go on with me?" T made that choice, but If you consider me a burden—" "No, it is not that, Noreen," I Interrupted, touched by the regretful tone of her voice. "It was of you I was thinking, not myself. Then we go on together?" She was silent, her eyes on the darkness ahead. "It must be your decision," I insisted. "I made my choice an hour ago." she answered frankly. I waited an instant thinking she might say more, but she sat motionless in the saddle. Just what her decision signified I could not Judge. It seemed to me that between two dangers she had simply chosen the one she deemed to be the lesser. It was not affection for me. but fear of others, which urged her forward. Grasping her bridle rein, I rode on through the dark without another word. The decision had been made; now we moat both of us abide the consequences. <TO BE CONTINUED.) Bridget Refused to Be Blamed When the Fault Was So Clearly 'v Mrs. Newly weds. A young wife who had received^ some very elegant and expensive wed-" | ding presents gave a select luncheon and used on the tablg. several of the choicest pieces of 'her china, among them being an exceedingly fine platter Of real Royal Worcester. She gave her servant strict instructions to leave all the good pieces for her to wash up SO that there could be no accident. As soon as her friends had left the young lady went to the kitchen, mediately she missed the finest and asked where it was. "Sure, ma'am," said the girl, kept the beBt pieces for you to The lady threw herself into the nearest chair and began to bewail her loss. "Bridget!" she began, "that was the finest piece of china I own or ever expect to own. I shall never, never be rich enough to buy another like it." "Oh, well,.ma'am," replied the servant girl, folding her arms, "If you will live beyond your means you mustn't blame me for it." V Sura of One TfHup.

A Bunch of 'Mums That Makes Bright the Living Room. HANDLING FLOWER POTS By IDA M. 8HEPLER. Casters we know are cheap. Five cents apiece, and (our of these fastened in the discarded legs of an old table, bed, or even if these are not at hand, four pieces of square pine wood on which you can nail a lone shallow box. This is really a good stand on which to slip your window plants In their pots. Pill the shallow box half full of sand, bed the pots in this sand, which absorbs the moisture from the pots, sating the carpet below and sending some of it back into the plant roots. Of course the box should be painted a good color. I have seen for this arrangement the combination of the legs painted green and the box done in lattice like stripes of white and green. Make the box as long as you have room each aide of the window (not measuring just the window space itself), as then one can alternate the pots, bringing the end pits in turn to the middle and direct Debt On very cold nights, as glass draws Croat as well as heat, flowers often get nipped. A box for plants resting on casters is easily drawn away from the window direct, and can be pushed back the next morning. These casters are also a convenience when sweeping about the window. Any woman who keeps house plants in her room can, herself, make two or throe window boxes, legs and all, picked up from where carpenters are building. These boxes, of coarse, are used mainly in windows that are kept for the saving of plants for spring, and yet they can contain an assortment of flowers, which, hanked back of a win dow, give an effective picture of beauty -to the passer-by as wen as to the inmates of the room. For a small window, and one from which yon must get light for the room, be sparing of the plants. There Is nothing pretty in a dark room, the cause of which is the window literally hong and placed full of all manner of foliage. It is such "a mistake to fill op a window so full of plants and vines in winter that one can neither get light for reading nor sight of the prettier world outside. A few plants, in a small window, artistically arranged. Is a much happier scheme. If you are boring winter plants from the florist, dont unwrap the roots until ready to pot them, but be sure to give the soil in which the plant roots are bedded, plenty of water—keep them literally soaked in water, and by the time you are ready to pot, if it be but two hours after, you will find the plant wonderfully refreshed.

In SAVE YOUR BULBS Do not throw away your winter bulbs; they can be kept until next spring and planted in the garden, where it Is possible they may recover enough of their original strength to give a crop of flowers the next season. It is possible, I say, but it is not at all probable, that one out of ten will do so. Still, It does no harm to try. It is about as easy to put them into the ground as to dump them Into the refuse heap. But I would never advise anyone to make use of these bulbs a second season In the house. They cannot he depended on. It pays to get fresh, strong bulbs each fall. From these, if they are given proper treatment, you can he ably sure of fine flowers.

In another important respect sheep raising in Australia differs from that (Prepared by the United States Depart* ment of Agriculture,) More and larger flocks of sheep are . •»,«,*-,--, • H ^ . ^ O . . » ^.Hn^ nMeAcMeAss.a..r^y. t»o- t»hwel f#u~lnl d4e«v—elo1p«m«*e«n*t o*»f l-cj*I«T Lst-^oc k^men themselves are inclined it -^,-, rf _ , , w «^ioml profitable agriculture in the middle l o w « « « - r PW.of,ticm, as some and eastern states. Under . present conditions sheep raising in tms eoun* try has not proved as attractive as in Australia and New Zealand, and in consequence the department of agriculture has recently conducted an toyesiigation, the results of which have just been -published in Bulletin 313, into the basic principles of the Industry in those countries. In New Zealand, says this bulletin, sheep raising is conducted on lines midway between those followed in our farming states and those in the range states. In Australia the sheep industry is, in the main, what would be called in America a "range proposition." With a total land area of a little more than the state of Wyoming, New Zealand has about 24,500,- 000 sheep as against 4,500,000 in Wyoming. The average size of the New Zealand flock is now 1,124 and seveneighths of the sheep are in flocks of more than 500 head each. In Wyoming the average size of the flock is nearly 3.000 head. Prom one to eight sheep-per acre are maintained in New Zealand on land which has been plowed and sown to artificial grasses, U the land has been surface sown without plowing, this number Is reduced to from one-half to two sheep per acre. jLand valued as high as 1150 sn acre has been profitably kept in grass for grazing alone, and nearly one-half of the occupied area is used mainly for sheep. The important place thus occupied by sheep In New Zealand is declared to be evidence of the possibilities of profit from valuable land devoted to well-managed flocks. The size of these flocks insures for them an interest and care which is not so frequent in the farming states In America. Nln Australia conditions more nearly resemble those In the American range states. Much of the Australian Prise*Winning Loioonbsra, land now used for sheep growing is destined to be devoted to farming, and the govern ment to taking an active part In assisting this development. In the meantime, land is plentiful and the flocks nave much space in which to ran.. There is, however, ems fnmenv ind important difference betlm miasirsnciiH sf Ihn ransjn hi Australia jmd In the tintted States. No ted to On tno other band, be Hampshire Down SHearttag Ewe. on the American range In Australia the flocks are not kept collected and under the care of hevders. but are fenced into "peddoekr" which vary from 5.000 to 10,000 acres in size. Here they are left to ran at will under practically natural conditions. In many cases they are only rounded up once a year for shearing. Even at lambing time there is little necessity for attention. This plan not only loosens labor—a dimcult problem in nil parts of Australia—but pats the sheep Into better condition than when they are ln^ charge of even the beat herders. On the other hand, the fencing of the sheep run is, of course, an added expense, but this Is considered as less important than the advantages aV ready named. ^ The greatest difference -of all. however, between the American and Australian sheep industries Id probably to be found In the handling of the wool after it has been shorn, la Australia and New Zealand the wool almost Invariably remains the property of (he grower until It is sold to the manufacturer. Under this system the cost of actually shearing the sheep Is only about one-half of the amount which the grower expends In preparm* Ids wool for market He himself divides the clip into various lots, and the grading is done with unlfornjltj and stactnoss. Overpassing, however, is avoided. In one Queensland abed 10.000 two-year-old wethers were shorn and" the ettp divided Into 11 classes. In a New South Wales flock of 7,000 head composed of ewes, yearling ewes and mate, 28 classes ware made, bet this-Js probably an Instance of overclasamg. Despite tno expense that this practice invoivee, tno Australian la firmly convinced that he realizes asore for his wool by selling it in such a number of distinct lots that tno manufacturer can find exact*?'** kind of wool be needs for a particular fabric andean buy that wool alone.
