lathe, or almost any knd of factory machine Such machinery is usually painted dull green, die gray or bJack and against drab factory walls and floors and ceilings, it blends into a dark mass that makes seeing very diffi cult Worse til, the color of the work piece is often the same as tro machine increasing the accident hazard and causing fingers to slow down or fumble It isnt practical to darn black socks with white thread But something CAN be done about improving seeing conditions in factories, through the use of twotoned machines, and lighter walls and floors and ceilings A paint brush and a few minutes time can transform lathes, presses, drills , clearly marking the danger aca the point of work and furnishing sharp contrast between the machine proper and the piece being handle, Combined with good lighting, this speeds up production on nearly every kind of job Workers can SEE better, and are able to performVtheir tasks more efficiently, Errors are cut to a minimum Flaws are

He will purchase a car and drive back to camp, Rhode Island, December 27. . . . while trying to chase Ye Editor down last Friday afternoon to sell her a Christmas tree, Jim Marhoffer happened to get too clase to the bank and lost his pants! It seems the coveralls Jim had on were identical to those worn by the alleged bank robber, and FBI agents asked if they could borrow them for identification purposes . . . Jim obliged thorn. Someone lost a tire while driving by Harry Murphy's home a while back. Whoever it was didn't stick around to talk about the damage It did to Harry's aluminum siding. But he did manage to sneak back to recover his tire at a later date. e's wishing you an old-fashioned Christmas, filled with -:\\ the joys of fellowship and good cheer, and a holiday season tojgftjjnai by many merry moments for your entire family.

Highlights Sam Gentile's 1964 African Safari On Friday, November 13, following a three month session of securing passports, visas, having photos taken, having required immunizations, buying cameras, films, etc., Sam Gentile of Pmckney and Ray Hwteh of Dexter were off on their long dreamed of "African Safari." - Boarding a plane at Metropolitan airport, a short stop over in New York, Sam and Ray continued on to Paris, France, then to Rome, July, then Athens, Greece, stopping at each city lor just one quick day of sight-ieeing. An ail night flight took them into Nairobi, Africa, where they changed flights. Then one hour more flight time took them to their destination, Dar e< Salam, the capital city of T anyika, Southeast Africa. Here tempera- Cures remained day and tight at the 8$ to 100 degree mark. An unexpected delay in plans happened when Sst? had to Have his gun, a 300 Wetherbee. approved by government officials in order to take it the remainder of the trip with him. This took a full day. November 16, the Safari, consisting of Sam and Ray, two other American hunters, two white guides, and 22 natives, left Dar es Salam for the wilds of a 16,000 square mile Selous (Seloo) reservation. Expenses included having the Safari party and equipment transported to the reserve in a 206 Skywagon. The reserve had been opened in June, 1964, for the first time in 50 years. The reserve was a combination of flat and mountainous land. During World War II Germans occupied this territory. A very large cannon stood on a mountain up so high it was unbelievable that they managed to get it situated there. The story toW by Africans was that the Germans were killed by African natives before they had a chance to use it alter taking it up there. The Camp "We lived comfortably in tents, Land rovers similar to American jeeps were used for traveling due to the distance that we covered each day." The 22 natives that accompanied the hunters spoke Swahili. Tlie two guides spoke English. The natives were very friendly, very religious, and very happy people. They came from various African tribes. Seventy five cents to one dollar was the average working wage earned by these natives. "When our camp broke up, we paid them extra money for their services," Sam tells. "We feR they deserved it after doing such favors as washing our clothes and ironing them each day, cleaning our tents, lighting our lamps, polishing our boots, making sure we had plenty of ice on hand, and even as much as turning down our I beds at night." 4 Meals were very .satisfactory. Usually the meat served was what had been shot during the day's hunt. Thanksgiving Day the hunters ate sable. "There isn't any Plymouth Rocks over there," Sam claims. At least two vegetables, fruit and canned cream were served for the main evening meal. "I had ice cream once in Africa that I bought at a sugar refinery store (a tent) near the reserve. I drank lots of pepsi-cola and fruK juice, too. In fact, $45.00 worth in a month's time." Communication "The camp had a radio receiver that kept us posted on the riots in the nearby Congo, Nairobi, and Dar es Salam. Things became pretty "hot" and we were warned, if it didn't "cool down" we would have to remain in the jungles until it did." A letter takes two months by regular mail to go from Michigan to Africa where the party ramped. and tune days by airmail. For this reason the .American hunters sent then- families radio cablegrams. Hunting Experiences Each day's hunt lasted from 6 a.m. until dark, depending on the hunter's luck. The natives referred to as "trackers" were extraordinarily talented. They could hear and track animals when the hunters could see or hear nothing at all. They would track a single elephant in a big herd by the width of hi.s toov Sometimes finding jusit a leaf or u twin they could tell how long before an elephant had passed that way. If it was a leaf, they would crumble it. and tell by how dry it was how long before an elephant had stepped on it. "A herd of elephants 'treed" us one day," Sam recalls. "Another time a herd went by us, some as much as U feet m height, knocking down trees with good .sized trunks. Such stampede* were very exciting to &ay the least." The camp enjoyed having "Pete," a professional crocodile hunter, of .same 30 years, and his wife, join them for a night. "Pete" told how he and his wife had raised nine children Hung in this territory. He was paid by the government with the exception of what money he earned soiling crocodile skins in the nearby village-,. He told the most common things found in the .stomach of a crocodile were bells the women of Mosia tribe wore at their .fnkle.s. IVte warned the hunters to .stay Hear of the waters. He claimed if a crocodile was after a person who camped near the waters, he would lay for days with just his eyes and the end of his nose out of the water, and watch his prey. After learning the hunters habits, he would then attack,' H*» chimed to have >.een a crocodile bite a i large bush buck into two pieces with one bite. The 2overn;nerrt dr.^s not protect h)pi*>p<fJ<imiib or baboons a* they do the rhinoceros. Canoes made from hollowed logs that required ten to 16 men to lift, have been known to be split in two pieces by a hippo. "The baboons steal corn planted by the villagers and kill domestic dogs. They carry corn, corded in one arm. as we might carry a load of wood." They are smart en;>ugh to stay mil of reach of the. villagers' gurus. Therefore, when Sam dropped one with his ;xnverful 300 Wetherbee, the natives all ran to thank him. "A lion charged the land rover we were riding in one day. Their roar i.s very loud." "A rhino charged us another time and the driver was forced to stay out of its way, due to it being against the law to shoot them. They are very strong and have I been known to charge a land rover and kill the driver." During the 21 day hunt. Sam lolled a Hartebecste, water buck, reed buk, hyena, wildbeeste, cape buffalo, impala, zebra, a M M I t w hippopotamus, and a wart hog, •* "Among my souvenirs" are si '** items as native spears and ebony wooa carvings, carved from ivory tusks "of nhants."

Saturday atoout 60 students, Mrs. Morris, and Santa Claus (Mr. Qirigley) went by bus to the State Hospital in Howell.

Attend The C/iurc/ i o/ Your ifTH THE CHURCH FOR ALL ALL FOR THE CHURCH The Church ia the greatest factor on earth for the building of character and good citizenship. It is a storehouse of spiritual value*. Without • strong church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the church. They are: (1) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.

'Minor' Defects Have Major Effect, Declares March of Dimes Doctor Big ears and misshapen noses have long been treated at amusing targets of low comedy* Often the people behind the defective features join in the laughter more heartily than anyone else. Now doctor* wonder if it's tuch a laughing matter. "Doctor* are beginning to tUfptt that many so-called minor defects may be as crip* plinc to emotional and mental aevtlopment as a gross deformity is to physical growth," says Dr. Virginia Apgar, director of the division of con* genital malformations of The National Foundation-March of Dimes, *In the 50 March of Dimes birth defects centers that have been opened across; the nation in the last several years, we have seen an increasing number of these problems." As an example, Dr. Apgar described a little Nebraska girl born with an ugly mass of hair extending from right shoulder to forearm. The rare dtfttt—actually a huge birthmark— didnt ' prevent normal use of the arm. But it was so disfiguring that it aroused other children's taunts. By the age of four, the pretty child had withdrawn into a shell, worrying her parents and inciting her six-year-old brother to fight youngsters who poked fun at hk "hafry" sister. According to the child's parents, no one gave them any hope of improving their daughter's appearance until they took her to the March of Dimes Birth Defects Center at Children's- Memorial Hospital in Omaha. Plastic surgeons removed the hairy surface and replaced it with skin grafts. Physicians believe that by the time the girl reaches high school, shell scarcely remember which arm showed the upsetting quirk of nature. In the vanguard of medical researchers studying deformity and accompanying psychological problems is a group at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore. Dr. Milton Edgerton, professor of plastic surgery there, McPherson Ban!< Christmas Party APPEALING but withdraw n befor e plastic surger y {a t left) , Chuck Burger , 7 , Kama * City, Mo. , now crows that "the kids in the block don't call me 'rabbi t tors ' anymore. " Surger y en ftii ear s was performe d at Marc h of Dime s Birth Defect s Center . says studie s show tha t childre n with deformities , even mino r ones, often feel "apart from the huma n race " early in life. He advocate s correctio n of the deformit y at an early age, where possible. "We all know childre n or adult s who have someho w learne d outwardl y to adap t to defects. We tend to thin k tha t ther e is no problem and to disregard the tremendou s huma n achin g to be like everyone else, at least to the degree of not feeling deformed. " Dr . Edgerto n says. Dr . Eugen e Meyer, associate professor of psychiatr y and medicin e at John s Hopkins , is convince d tha t in 09 cases out of 100. a sense of deformity , however minor , stunt s and cripple s not only a child' s selfesteem but his relationship s with others . The Bal'.:i::or e group is con - cerne d <Aith prevailin g alti - tude s of discUiin an d amuse - men t toward what is popularl y known as "cosmeti c surgery." Joke s ;.iui >iy reference s to "nose jf.ii!>" and othe r (.u-!::eti c surgery indicat e an underlyin g feeling tha t such procedure s are prompte d by vanity. In psychiatri c term-; , Dr .

This chapter was not written in a German concentration camp or a Russian prison farm in Siberia. Nor, was it written in the Congo or Castro's Cuba. This chapter of inhumanity was written in the land ot the free and home of the bravo just outside of Philadelphia, Mississippi. An American citizen was bealen to death by chains because he dared to suggest to the negroes of this part of America that Thomas Jefferson's immortal words, "We hold these truths lo be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.'' were something more than a page in a history book. Two other American citizens wore then shot by i.\c mob for the same reason. T^ast Saturday's Detroit Free Press details che cooperation of the local l::\v enforcement officers with t!ie mob. The time has enme for all men of good will to rise and shout as if with one voice. "Th?y were my brothers." You and I can no more excuse ourselves from our responsibilities as United States citizens than can the people of Philadelphia, Mississippi. To the Philadelohia businessman who said, "You can't condemn the whole community for what a couple of people do", I say, the Germans tried the same rationalization after World War IT and as the- Germans havo suffered you and T will suffer too unless this horrible crime is branded with the stamp of lustice. You along with the other citizens of Philadelphia helped maintain these public officials in office, You and the other citizens of Philadelphia allowed this atmosphere which lent moral support to such acts of- violence to grow and develop. No, each of us, You and T and every other citizen who believes in government of the people, by the people. and for the people must accept some of the responsibility for this crime against mankind. If you of Mississippi cannot assume your responsibility I must play my small part by appealing to the President, the Congress, and the Justice Department to do all in their power to bring those responsible before the bar of justice. Don A. Gibson 212 East Main Street Pinckney, Michigan P.S. T am not a negro. I have never been a member of any civil rights yroup and in some cases ] am opposed to wnat these groups advocate. I am nothing more than a citizen who recognizes that if ihis can ha|> r»en in Philadelphia.

In th e first few minute s the Pirate s looked like they might be th e bette r of the two teams . They hit on five of thei r first seven field goal at> tempt s and were ahea d durin g most of the first few minute. s of play. It wasn't long, however, before Williamston"s Hornet s settled down themselve s and cooled off the Pirate s and showed why they have the recor d they do. The final score was 76-45. Thre e technica l fouls durin g the game added to the entertainmen t of the Williamston and Pinckne y fans. -"• The Pirate s hit on la\ f 62 field goals for 27'r.

Throughou t most of the game the Little Pirate s trailed by just enough to keep them in the game. Then in the fourth quarte r they really cam e to life and the Williamston JV's had all the y could do to keep the Pirat e team from catchin g up, The final score was 50-48 in the neck and neck battle . Loy Russom and Tom Mitchel l eadi nette d 11 points , the most for the hom e team JV's. PINCKNE Y Nam e . f.f Students Upset D M Man, On* Vote9 Under the U.S . Census Bureau's ruling that tfoe thousands of oonvoten (under age) that happen to be In I college dormitory during the month the census is taken, are legal residents of that college town, nukes a mockery of me "ooe man one vote" apportion* ment. Bob Smith, Farm Bureau's associate legislative counsel explains it belter in bis own way. What does "One Man One Vote" and apportionment have to do with Michigan State University? Let's look at it for a moment. 31,459 students have enrolled on the maki M.S.U . campus, another record. The mam campus student population is three times that of the city of Cadillac, over twice that of either Alpeoa or Escacaba, five times that of either Ionia, Lapeer, Marshall or Petoskey. Most students do not consider a college dormitory room as their legal residence. Most of them are under 21 years of age and consider their parents' home as their legal residence. Prior to 1340 the United States Census Bureau also considered this to be the case and counted them as part of the population in their home counties. However, in the 1950 and 1960 census, students on campus on the census date (April) were counted as part of the population of that area, which fat census purposes was practical BUT the change in census methods became most important when the J.S . Supreme Court ruled that both houses of state legislatures must be apportioned according to population as nearly as "practicable" and the Michigan Supreme Court interpreted the ruling to mean that House districts must not vary, on the average, more than a few hundred from the average population of 71,127. (Average population of Senate districts is 205,895. ) The Court claimed that its action resulted In the vote of every person, regardless where he lives, being equal to the vote of every otfoer person or "One Man One Vote." But does it? Area* where population is swollen by institutions, such as M.S.U. , suddenly become "over represent ed" in the Legislature. M.S.U.' s 31,458 enrolled student* are enough to make up 15% of a Senatorial district and 44% of a House district It appears obvi ous that a vote in an area such as this is worm much more than a vote elsewhere. If "One Man One Vote" is truly the goal, obviously the only way to achieve it would be to base legislative districting on the number of citizens actually voting for some statewide office, such as that of the governor. Population is not "One Man One Vote" nor does it guarantee equal representation. He who prays as he ought will endeavo r to live as he prays. —John Jason Owen.

Under such agreements the division conducts Dutch elm disease surveys, confirms survey findings by laboratory analysis, and issues condemnation orders on the removal and de-otruction of diseased or dead trees and piles of elm wood. Dutch elm disease is carried from a diseased tree to a heaUhy one by a type of bark beetle. There is no known cure once a tree has the disease, says C. A. Boyer, who explains that intensive research in the past 30 years has been unable to find a cure. Preservation of elms depends on sanitation, which means the removal and burning or deep burial of dead or diseased trees, and also upon a proper spraying program. The secret of thus is thorough coverage of an elm tree with the proper strength spray at the proper time. The recommended sprays • 'Sr this are DDT or methoxychlat. A review of 19i/ programs in the state disclosed *hat among municipalities that act^ved effective control of Dutch elit disease were Detroit, Huntingi^n Woods, East Lansing, Monroe, Lapeer, Greenville, and East Grand Rapids.

Jan. 6 DAISY: I t a milk-feed price ratio has been more favorable thU yew than Urt, despite greater production. Sightly higher average prices for milk have held and are lfltefe? to continue as per eaplta supplies remain smaller then t year ago and stock! of dairy products remain relatively low. Mflk cow numbers totaled US million head in June of this year—a new low. This was a I * decline from a year earlier. EGGS: Slight Increases in output are expected over tike next 13 months as the laying flock and rates of lay continue above last year's levels. It appears mat me off-season or July - December Sketch may average 5* above the comparable period in 1969. Egg prices are expected to continue at a favorable level Into the fall months. BRWLEBS: Heavy supplies are expected to continue into the fall a period normally associated with declining demand. Considerable pressure on prices can also be expected. TURKEYS: A %^r larger 1964 crop is expected to result in fall prices below a year ago, but stfll profitable to the efficient producer. Cold storage holdings, which were comparable to last year on August 1. are likely to ouSd up at a faster pace than in 1963. and will be a limiting factor on any sharp roe w prices. HOGS: Because of sharp re» ductions in the 1964 pig crop, prices through the first half of 1965 should average higher than a year ago. The sprng pig crop was reported at 8** tinder a vear earlier, and Indications are that the fall crop will be dewn 5* to 1%. BEET: Fall prices are likely to hold at a relatively favorable level. They mean better chances for efficient feeders to make a profit. Lower feeder prices than a year ago mean the same thing. But both factors also point to a buildup of cattle numbers on feed during fall and winter. And while cattle prices are likely to hold, winter and spring prices will depend largely on the level of feeder placements this fall. The 1955 price level is not likely to show any improvement over 1964, SHEEP and LAMBS: Profits from feeding lambs Is expected to remain favorable as prices are likely to continue above a year - earlier levels for much of the year. Commercial slaughter of sheep and lambs during the first six months of 1964 was 4% smaller than the comparable period a year ago, Hull walnuts, butternuts and hearthnuN as soon as they drop from y,>ur trees. Wash the stain from the hid] to prevent the kernel from darkening. Then dry and store. Farm Efficiency Key to Profits Their two farms are less than H mile apart, botfr modest men who hesitate to talk about their fortunes or failures so we will list them as Farmer A and Farmer B. Farmer A started in 1946 with very little money but he had been reared on a farm going to Detroit in 1935 to work in a factory. Jn 1946 he moved back near his old home and bought 80 acres and a few cows. He soon paid off his debt and today has paid for 130 acres, has a herd of 45 cows and he and fee bank jointly own 140 more acres which he hopes SDOJI to have all paid up. Farmer B inherited from his father 200 acres and 75 cows aiid no debts. As he expresses it, "I work myself to death on this farm and every year wind up with less money. No, I don't like farming but what else can I do? If I get my price I'm selling out." Farmer A is a good friend oi Farmer B but he enjoys farming. As he expresses it to Jiake a success you have to be a good crop man and a good herdsman "If one of my cows' production drops below the profit mark that cow is sold coming Monday. You have to watch every angle, 'jrop>. machinery costs per acre of cultivation, output of eac-h UKUVKIIKJ cow and work. But you've <;ol to love your work." It isn't bow many cows yen nrlk but what you #et out of each cow. He considers Farmer B a goo i | crop man but a jxwr herdsman. You have to be good in both fields. j he concludes. State Farm Tax High \ The clearsighted do not rule th | world, but they sustain and console it. —Agnes Repplier, More than 15 percent or total net farm income in Michigan goes out for taxes, to the chagrin of the farmer who lives in a state that bears the dubious honor of having the greatest per cent increase in property tax during the last 15 years. Farmers contend that a century ago, property was a goed measure of wealth and ability to pay, but that this is no longer the case. They say that totaJ state tax revenues represent only about ten per *ent of Michigan's personal income, but that farm* ers pay this and much more in just property taxes alone. In addition, farmers pay all other taxes now levied. Backing these statements are figures from a 13-state study to | show Michigan having the great- ( est per cent of property-tax in- j crease. ( Other reports show that taxes | on Michigan farm real-estate j have risen nearly five per cent in the past year and now represent 13.3 per cent of total net farm income. Farm leaders in official policy sessions at the recent Michigan Farm Bureau annual meeting called for substantial personal arxf real property tax relief. They said that new sources of revenue should be found and that these should include a boardbased, flat rate net income tax. They made it plain that one such improvement would be io assess agricultural land as FARM IAXD as long as it Is so used. I instead of for its possible rn> : tential high value for sub-diviions or similar use. Apple Sauce Just A Big Puff Mother used to pare, quarter and core the apples and stew then, on the fire to make a aeliciou* applesauce. It was usually la^ty became mother was particular about the variety oi apples that she used. Modern processing plants also pick certain varieties for their canned applesauce. To an Old- . timer, somehow this product never quite reached the flavor ol tne old home kitchen product. j But now! Th* pian i-: or the drawing boards for a new method — and thii is not just " sauce!" They talk of expiodiny [he apples! Blow them into smithereens! Then they grind up the pieces. The idea u to create a dehydrate applesauce product. They lake dehydrated apple pieces and put them through an explosjonpuffin& process. Sweetened, this granular material can be converted into instant applesauce just by adding hot water. The ri-jwrt is 'hat it has "good Flavor." It weiyhs only one-fifth of the canned applnsauce.

ONE OF THE LARGEST SELECTIONS OF USED CARS IN WASHTENAW COUNTY Winston (Frenchy ) Arnot SALES REPRESENTATIVE symbol* of rural American a in -lowly disappearing. The picturesque old mill ponds —the colorful remnant of an early era of agricultural achievement in Michigan. Dr, C. R. Humphrys, professor of resource development at Michigan State University, an d Ralph F. Green, research assistant at MSU , recently completed a preliminary survey of Michigan's remaining mill ponds as part of a larger inventory of Michigan's artificial surface waters, i Most of the ponds, are In the , lower portion of the state. The! locations have pretty much fox-1 lowed a spreading pattern of I wheat production, water for power, population shifts and transportation facilities. Many of the remaining ponds were preserved by fishermen, nature lovers and senior citizens. About 56 locations still exist throughout the state where the dam is out and the pond has disappeared altogether. And only 27 of the state's 83 counties still have a complete grist mill pond site preserved. In the entire Upper Peninsula, only the Old Mill Pond in Dickinson County remains. Although the original purpose of these ponds was to provide water power, all land owners having frontage on the pond could use it for fishing, swimming and boating. They also retained all land rights to that portion of the bottom included within the surveyed boundaries of their property. The only right that was transferred or lost was the exclusive right of flowage granted to the j mill owner. This right of lowage ] was legally attached to the land j upon which the mill was con- \ structed , j Today , man y years after th e I old mills and pond s have dis- ; appeared , it is still understoo d j tha t the exclusive right of flowj age 1s attache d to th e mill site. , ft is. therefore , conceivabl e tha t ' th e old pond s could be reeer - ! a ted.

Trouble In the Patron*' <'t>imiier«l,-«l Inlun.--Holler Kxplonlou ut -TI»y- Internal Dl*»eutloiis, There is trouble iu the camp of the par trons commercial uuiou of Michigan. At •the meeting of the directors at Lansing the fun began, Kaeh member of the union pays f 1 upon being elected and 20 cents - -annual dues. The iuitiation fee is to make •a sinking fund while the 20-ceut, ussess- <neut was ilyrured upon to pay all expenses. The society has 15,249 members, and having been organized but about a year ugo, there was that number of persons who paid the*l and also the 'JO-eeut assessment during the past year. Of the amounts reeeived from the $1 payments, however, only $1,417 was put into ^he society's permanent fund, the remaining $1,832 being ttpenUfor current expenses. During the fcast year Dubois Conklin, of Kent, was the recipient of a salary of $1,000 a year as •manager of the union; J. F. Taylor, of Greenville, got $500 as secretary, and C. H. Morse, of Carson City, $o00 as treasurer. A tremendous kick over the deficiency in the sinking fund, followed by a proposition to lop off a good portion of the salaries was the cause of the great disturb- *nce.

To the horrors of famine in Rus*l» have been added smallpox, which ia carrying off large numbers of the impoverished people, who, ia their weakened condition, fall a ready prey to the disease. No mention of tho existence uf smallpox is mude by the newspapers. Tbis is due to secret Instructions Issued by the police ordering tho newspapers to Ignore the famine and epidemic of smallpox. In two small villages of the government of Hiazen, 2U0 persons are down with the loathsome disease and 50 deaths have already occurred. Smallpox is also ravaging the provinces of Viatka, Samara, Kharkoff, Vladimir, Kursk, Orenburg, Peterhofl and Saratoff. In addition to this visit of smallpox, typhus fever is carrying off numerous victims in various provinces. On the whole, a more gloomy outlook could not be well imagined, and although the few doctors scattered through the country are doing their utmost to sUy the disease their efforts are almost useless. The people have reached a stance where they think it useless tc fight against any affliction sent to them, and consequently maoy who might recover had they any energy or will power, lie down and succumb to disease without making a single effort ia their own behalf. Maoy, too, prefer death from disease to suffering the flow torture of death from starvation. NO MOKE WAR. CHURCHES ALLIED TO SECURE AN INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION. 8OPER SLIPPED. The Secretary of Stale Resigns I pon the I'rgeut Hequeit ol'f«ov. Wlimim. Daniel E. Soper, tho debonair secretary of state, under the present administration, has been brought up with a short tunn by Gov. Winans. For some time past rumors of pending trouble in that department have been quietly circulated at Lansing, so many were not astonished when it was announced that Gov. Winans had asked Mr. Sopor to step down and out immediately. The charges were brought against Soper by Mayor Johnson, of Lansing, and include the disposal of property belonging to tho state, purchasing unnecessary supplies, demanding a portion of the salary of Louis E. licwley, assistant secretary of state, to be paid to him. and corruptly appropriated state funds to himself. When summoned to appear before the governor, Soper acknowledged his guilt und said ho would tender his, resignation to take effect on January 1. He was informed that it must be given at once to take immediate effect and the consequence now is Mr. Daniel E. Soper, erstwhile social lion of the cupitol city, is now out of a jab. Many who have watched his career express the opinion that Mr. Soper's private Ida was a trifle vapid for safety. The MOCK Breeder*. The Michigan association of breeders of improved livo stock held a series of interesting meetings at Lansing last v/eok. President Wm.

On one of the leading thoroughfares five highwaymen suddenly surrouuded one of Uncle Sum's biggest mailt1 wagons and at revolver point forced the postal employes to throw out several sacks. Tho bulky government vehicle was then sent flyiug on its journey, th« occupants being threatened with instant death if they made outcry or stopped. So complete was the surprise effected by the bandits that the mail drivers failed to utilize the services of a large bulldog which was beside thorn on their seat. Near midnight the stolen mail-sucks, slit open and' rilled of their content, were found on Superior street, iu tue north division of the oity, fully three miles from the scene of the robbery. At thut hour every available man of tho city detective force and the postofflee- inspeelor'a-stafl were straininjj_e_very_ nerve to obtain a clue to the identity of. the highwaymen or their whereabouts.

T li' ti y \v e v^ 0 amony the first exiles un^ler the adminis t r a t i v e process, that is. exi led without trial. They were refined, educated and wealthy My grandmother, a beautiful young Woman of 26 years, was, during part of her journey, chained to a male convict t>f the lowest class. The treatment she then received drove my grandfather to frenzy, and he was killed by •an officer a week ~vfffter they left St. Petersburg. Whether there <vas ever any notice taken of his death I cannot tell. Three weeks after in)' grandmother tfave birth to a daughter— my mother. Impossible ns it may teem, they both lived, and to prove that there in a spark of manhood in the most hardened my grandmother received rather better treatment afterward, though how she eould have lived (Jod only knows. At length she readied Tomsk, and there her journey ended. Her sentence of banishment had been for twenty-yeans, and she. knew that meant for life. Hopelessly she dragged herself from house to iiouso. seeking a shelter for herself and little, one. At length it wretched peasant gave her the use of one miserable, room. She entered, believtng she should atTen sf"fihcfsciTitude; even thiR is denied political exiles. At any moment an officer may invado their privacy and their poor belongings pass under his inspection. Hourly this most wretched woman prayed for death for herself and child, but they-lived on and oruan'd strangely enoug-h the little one throve. They lived upon the small allowance furnished by the government treasury for the support of those unable to work. This was barel}' enougih to prevent starvation; not enough to give thorn one comfort, not even paper and ink. Correspondence was, however, a doubtful pleasure, as every letter received or sent had to pass under the inspection of an officer. Many a night after that dreary cottage. The mother,was now unable to leave her miserable bed. Christinas was approaching and Mary had never had a Christmas present in her life. Young and old, as you gather about your Christmas trees on this blessed morn, think of this little girl! She is only the type of a class. There are "ttja-my more as forlorn, though, thank <tod, she now stands "where w liters arid where storms are calm, and the eternal hills are beautiful," 1 think of her always. __J_ wilJJiaveJQi> present. I will have nothing but an opportunity to work for those I love, who are still in exile. 1 write "only to arouse attention. To help by ever so little is better than to sit still. When I read of those who give their lives in this cause how I exult—how I long for their glorious martvrdom. But patience—my day will come. My grandmother knew that the coining PRAYED FOR DEATH they had retired their room was entered and everything examined—even the bed. Through all this they lived and the little Marie grew into a fair, large-eyed. timid girl, with a beauty so rare and delicate that her mother's hoart awoke to still another ache. "With nothing to help her but the wisdom of unutterable '"lore, my jrrandmothe^ edueted her child and mnde her a worthy branch of the noble house from which she sprang. For fourteen years they had lived in "WONDER * "RAPTURE: Christmas was to be hor hist on enrth, and she poured out her whole soul in supplication to ()od to send a protector to her child. . One came, but if there is .a (lod why did he not barken sooner? One precious possession besides her treasured child my grandmother had kept all these years, so securely hidden that it had escaped the prying eyes of th<? vigilant officers. This was a picture of the little boy who died before th£ evil dors fell n,pon her. A little joyous fawd framed in curls, a manly, steady little fellow—so like the husband who had died for her- -all that was left of a happy home. This picture she had never mentioned to Marie, afraid at times to .even think of it, so ubiquitous were h-ftr persecutors. Hut now she must soon die and she would give herself the sad pleasure of bestowing this treasure upon her child for a Christmas present. Christmas eve the two .lonely ones sat encircled in each other's arms, and the mother again recounted the cherished memories of h«>r brave little boy, again told the beautiful Christmas story and the customs of happy homes in other lands. Then, it being very !ate, nnd the dnnger of a visit seeming-to he past, the mother drew from its hiding place the picture. Marie gazed upon h with wonder and rapture. NhfMiad never seen anything" so beautiful, and it was her own darling" little brother. What can I say to make you feel this as I feel it'? Pause, happy mothers and sisters, and imagine yourselves living through it. The door opened, an officer entered, snatched the picture, and after a scene I cannot describe, carried it away. He ne*er returned it. Suspicion was aroused that this poor, hollow-cheeked woman, on the verge, of the grave, ia< secret communication with St. Petersburg. A short time nfter my father took an adjoining room in this wretched cottage. My grandmother had known and loved his parents aud she poured out the most devout thanksgiving to (Jod for this friend who wonl 1 surely watch over the child. His presence • brought 'the first feeling of security she had known since her arrest so many years ago. My mother and father loved each other from the first and my grandmother died peacefully in my father's arms. After the burial they were married. The Mistletre «f Pagan Origin, The mistletoe is looked upon • as the Christinas plant. A great many people believe that the distinction is owing to the fact that it blossoms in .some count. tries at this time of the year. Such belief is founded on fiction. The mistlevoe has been an emblem of Christianity almost since the time of Chris:. It first came into use as such under th.e reigii of Pope .(Jregory I. who sent some missionaries to Albion (now England) to spread Christianity among the Druids. Some years afterwards a pilgrimage Christianized Druids visited the. Papal city bringing ' mistletoe branches and throwing them at the feet of Gregory as an evidence of .their renunciation of Dmidism. It will thus be seen that the mistletoe was first the emblem of Druid-paganism. Chrisfmns Devoted Wife- Have you any embroidered Christinas slippers? Dealer--- Plenty of them. s You wish hand-woriccd, I presume? "Yes. I want ;i pair that will look as though it took all summer to do them." '•Yes.

To the young the years speed not fast enough; to the old they are too short. The young employ the closing, of one year in ambitious planning for the next, the aged muse over the events of the past and contemplate the mysteries of the future. In , the lives of some the year has proved a memorable one. while in those of others it is suggestive of no special events. The hopes of one have reached fruition, the aspiration of another have fallen short of success, and thus the last day of December brings alike pleasant and sad memories. Whatever the year of l$rJl has brought to us. there is a valuable lesson to be learned. If any undertaking upon which we entered has proved unsuccessful, we can now, on looking back over the ground, see more clearly the cause of our failure. No lesson is so forcibly learned as that born of experience. A past failure ofttimes points to a future jsuccess, if_we l)iit profit by__the lesson. No year is wasted which brings to us a clear realization of our individual worth and its best employment. The experiences of the old year will make our successes during the new more assured, for we will have learned what shoals to avoid in the sea of life. If our bark has just ground over rocky reefs with but slight injury, let us feel thankful that we -were not entirely wrecked. To be successful, the truth has been tauirht that the best success is that which is born with modesty and a humble exterior. It is a poor success that brings with it an outward self-consciousness of our talents or gifts. The njo^t admired and beloved men and women are those who combine prosperity with mode>ty. And thus to all the year can be fruiiful of good re- Bults, if we hnt extract from our individual experiences only that which will be the most yirotitn Me for us to reineml'er. Then we thall be the better prepared to enter upon the New Year with wisdom. ,-c;i! and ener<rv. ran be made by 70a setting Wurtvrf ^ Stock for u a thi* winter. Uon't delay. Btart nt one Outfit KKKB.

Now that fifer may have been sick, but if he was it in noway interfered with his appetite, and lying on his sick bed. with a must-! ard plaster on his manly chest, his ' thoughts were on the glorious dinner of j the morrow. Christinas day arrived ; aud with the first drum tap our fifer arose, but he ate sparingly of breakfast, for fear of not being able to do justice ' to the mid-day meal. Noon came, the ! nurse yelled out "Chuck." our fifer; vanished into the mess hall with a : Sioux war whoop. The tempting din- j ner before him well nigh paralyzed him ' with joy. especially us there were only three to eat it, j beside himself. viz: hospital 1 Reward, nurse nnd cook. Just as the j fifer got his mouth in good working order for the turkey which the steward was about to carve, the doctor came into the room with » large roll of manuscript under his arm. TakirJg a chair within three feet of the table, the man of medicine unrolled the paper, put on his spectacles and after a couple of dry : coughs remarked: •"Steward, as this is ' Christmas day I thought I would come over and read a poem I wrote in 1S*50. It is entitled 'I.iues on (Jr.int.* After the reading 1 hope you will enjoy the excellent dinner before you." The steward sank hack in his chair with a • sigh; the fifer dropped two big tears on his empty plate, rft was a few moments > past ll1 o'clock when the doctor began, it was 1:30 when he finished Hy that time the fire had died in the stove, the j dinner was cold and the sm.'-li audience ' nearly frozen. Finishing, the audience • was thanked for itsattentiveness, when \ the disciple of ^scnlapius retired for his own quarter*, where a warm and tempting1 meal awaited him. Next day the ' fifer w*» returned to "duty," and although he itill exists as a musical "windjammer" in the services of Undo Sam. he is ready to shoot an}T one mentioning poetry to him. COL.

If a man h a s made a speech against the union tlaj;1 which is ascribed to Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the Chicago anarchist, he would have been arrested. ~Khr denounced the 'ting as "an infamous lie," termed it ua miserable rag" and the emblem of 1*0,000,1)00 as abject slaves as the world ever saw. There is no reason why Mrs. Parsons, merely because she is of the female sex, shall be allowed to traduce the national emblem in public or private. She will make trouble for Chicago by her rantiu^ s unless the authorities take Meps to suppress her violent outbreaks.

G.tEAT griefs, Shakspcuro tolls us, are as medicine foi jur lessor sorrows. The remedy, it may bo thought* is worse than the disease. And yet it in not BO altogether; for the overwhelming anguish which swallows up tho minor tribulations disciplines the mind, and, wh^n it has felt tho shock of real calamity, it is less likely to bo disturbed by petty annoyances. IN the complex relations which are brought about by tho requirements of modern commerce, no relations aro K more vital to tho individual members of society than those bvtweim tho money earner and tho money investor. And the question which tho student of statecraft must solve is bow far shall organized individuals, called government, interfere between theso two members of society. To BE be a', en, but not broken; to b3 victorious, but not vainglorious; to strive and contend for tho prize, and to win it honestly or lose it cheerfully; to vise every power in tho race, and yet never to wrest an undue advantago or win an unlawful mastery—verily, In all this there are training and testing of character which search it to the very roots; and'^us is a result which Is worth all that it cost us. KXCWLEDGK and Character, like material possessions, arc ours not only to have but to give; but, unlike them, the more wo give of them the more wo have. Tho miser's heap grows smaller if ho shares it with another; but the knowledgo that is shared knows no decline, and character, like tho fragranceof a flower, is forever giving itself out in both conscious and unconscious influence and gaining by what It givos. IT is a mutter of genuine congratulation to notice how many men of first-rate ability are in those days discussing the question of what can bo done for boys and girls in tho way of character building; what can bo done, in fine, in the way of inspiring them with just as hearty a zest irt launching from tho stocks, to ride tho ocean of life, a gallant and seaworthy specimen of a man or woman, as a shipmaster feels in knocking away tho blocks and Bending on a run down tho ways a stanch and beautiful cxamplo of his cwn craft.

THE club is teaching' women much —not the least of its lessons aro those l of promptness and b revity, and the methods of parliamentary proceedings. Its teachings tend to combine sentiment with business, to familiarize women with public affairs. And by way of suggestion to clubs startod or about to be started in small communities, it is an excellent idea to get some of the larger, well established clubs to send on thoir papers for a reading. • In this way clubs formed in tho vil-1 lages might identify themselves, aauxilliariesto the larger Social Science - clubs of the state, and thus combine their talent for the promotion of tho ! specific aims of all. • IT is not strange that those sanatarily wise and energetic should have bogun to use tho reform brakos agains1; horse car expectorations. One of th« chief rules in hospitals for pulmonarj patients concerns this subject, and nc expectoration, even upon tho grounds of tho premises, is allowed. This is regarded not only as foul matter, bui possibly pregnant with disease germs, and it is, therefore burned. Nowhere is this vulgar habit of expectoration so common as with; uy, and nowhere has it found so much toleration. It is tlrao, however, when the doctors warn us of its danger, tc exercise such control as will make ou; cars and streets more free from )f thTs" olTensive practice." A DANGEROUS PLOT. CHAlTtR XIV. CONTINUED. "Don't you think Hilda will bo happy?" *Oh, she will be a Countess and rlchl Onnsby is not a bad fellow, and I think he quite fulfils her ambition. He worships her, and can cover her with diamonds. But Gwendoline is different; shu wants souittthing more." '"Aud Lord Martin?"' "1 don't know," said Annis. "I never could wnderj>t;ind It She had plenty of adj inirers, and he was a good match from the I world's point of view, aud is really good and ! loud of her. Yea, I am sure Martin id a good j man. But they could not have partud if they had been fond of each other. Is It nut •ad, Viola?" Ay, sad enough, I thought, if matters reimtimxl as they were. But would they? My sleep was broken and uneasy that night. I was wondering what I could do to help Gwendoline, pondering what I knew, nnd ; piecing it with what I only feared, until I Kearcely knew what was real, whether theru \ was any ground for tho supposition that , there was any secret understanding between her and Carden as to his visits—what itwas, how for it went He was false and treacherous, he was clever and unscrupulous; and I dreamed brokenly of his smiling handsome face, the shrubbery aud moonlight,' shadowy rooms and desperate- chess-problems, bishops' gambits and knights' attacks, with confused visions of Gilbert and Gwendoline, Mathilde and Mr. (laacolgne in impossible situations; then of being held back struggling intensely, by an unseen power I knew was Crawford Carden, while Gwendoline, with the satirical laugh lknew so well, threw herself into tho dark waters of the lake, I woke dazeil and weary, with aching head, and, before I had .shaken sleep off thoroughly, my still torpid brains were roused to more definite trouble than the vague alarm for Gwendoline. Annis caiua into my room, pale and frightened. **Unele Rl-hard is very ill, Viola! They sent for tho doctor an hour ago. "Wilkins says be has had a tit!'' * * * * * * • | For a month after that the life of the | muster of St. Gabriel's CI range hung on a ; thread. An able doctor from London was I Bent fcrr; we had a hospital nurse, and either Gwendoline or I was always near him. He j was surrounded by every care, and all that could be done, for him was done. I thiiiik we hardly knew how much the secluded old man, with his strange fancies, his currspeeches, Irad entered into theltves of all of us until he lay ill and helpless. He was not unconscious, and his mind remained wsnderfully acute, and clear. One day lie called rue to his side. "You remember what I told you?" he said. •'If I am not here to remind you—not till you are married—don't forget!" "I remember everything," I answered. "Nothing you wish done shall be left undone or forgotten. But you are better, and/ please Heaven, you will bo with us for long yet." "Perhaps so, perhaps BO," he murmured, "But it's all right—checkmate—all right!" Those were almost the last words 1 heard from klin. We thought he was recovering, when suddenly the cord snapped, and the hsui«l %l the black player, Death moved him gently off the chequered board e-f life. We four women were left alone, together ta St. Gabriel's Grange, lonely and in grief. The drawn blinds made the dim,silent rooms dark mid dreary, and hushed footsteps trod the long corridors. We clung together in those few dark still days between his death End his funeral with a sympathy nothing but e»mmnn grief could have brought about. I never thought <<£ leaving them, lor 1 seemed to be almost one of them then. Rut Hilda still stood aloof, cold and calm. What r-ight-h ad -I,a * i«t itger, toin t vw 1 e u p< m t h H r family circle? It was nothing to her that I had been with him during the last months of his life vniore than any one else.; it was wofH^thannothingVhftt+w wife of his nephew Gilbert Gwendoline, Annis and I were almost as Bisters, and Gwendoline was very quiet, half numbed by the sudden presence of death and its cold influence on her feverish soul. Th« news had been telegraphed to Lord Martin 1'oiueroy, and ho answered briefly that ha would b« in England to join his wife vs quickly as possible. I heard the message with a feeling of relief. Gwendoline said nothing, and betrayed nothing of pleasure or regret Gilbert and Ulric did not come to the house. "It would not be right, Viola," Gilbert said. "I will do nothing that he would not hate mo do while he was alive. Poor uncle Ktohardi I wish he had just mentioned us before he died, to show that he had forgiven us," And I longed to tell him what Mr. Gaseolgne^ had efcld to me; but my promise was a thousand times more sacred now that ho ce-uld not return to charge me with the breaking of i t "D«yeu not think," I aaked, "that his eorweni to Annjs's engagement was prool •f it?" "Xo. lie enly acquiesced in tlmt as he acquiesced in ours, because he did not think it important enough to object to, and because he did not believe it would hold. Carden tells me that uncle Richard said to him that he had very different views for both Annis and you. You were a great favorite with the old gentleman, you know, dear, and I believe Carden was half in love with you himself." 1 felt the toll-tale color rush furiously to fly brow. "Don't believe anything Mr. Carden tells you, Gilbert!" I cried. He smiled, but looked at me a little curiously. "Even Carden may slip into truths onee In a way," he answered. Two o* three distant connections of Mr. Gasc.oigne came down to the funeral, and half Norbury was assembled. In tho graveyard of the little church of Marlands St. Gabriel when he was laid in the vault of his fathers. The summer sun shone though the windows upon tho stone, monuments of Gas- £oignes In armor, Gascoigurs in ruffs, and by FtoxWn and Chantry that churchyard strettcchheedd the fields "white unto Crawford Carden was there, of course, with hypocritical sorrow on hii countenance, thinking perhaps to find himself waster of the Grange in a few hours; Afid the dead man's nephew* were there also, but they did not go back with us to the house, where the blinds were now raised, and tho great dlnlujf-rooui, never before ussd while I had been at the Grange, w.is foriuully arranged for the reading of the will. They would not have it supposed that thoy expected anything from the old man. 1 had no wish to join the family assemblage. 1 did not w»uit to be absent from the funeral, but tho will had no interest lor me since \t did not concern Gilbert. And yet everybody was a little agitated andunxious, and liad been ever uinee Air. Gaseoigne'a death, although until he wan buried they had, for deceucy'a sake, hidden the feeling. No one knew to whom St. Gabriel's Grange wan bequeathed. 1 went upstairs and wandered into the quaint old room, ho familiar, so strangely empty. 1 seemed to aec Mr. Gascoigne in the great arm-chair by the carved stone chimney-piece, and felt an Impulse to push the little chess-table to tho chair's side and arrange the pieces en the squares. As I stood In the centre of the room, look- | Ing round at the figures in armor and tho tapestry and the deep windows and tho ! high-backed piano---which 1 was soon to ' leave, with all else in St. Gabriel's Grange, perhaps never to sea again—Annis ramu to me and laid a soft lumi ou my shoulder. "Viola, 1 have bueu looking for you. Come down; you are one of us now, you know." "I thought your sisters would consider it better that I should stay away as Gilbert has done." " \ o ; your absence is noticed, and Mr. Carden says you are to be present. And I want you—it all seems so dreadful, Viola. I wish they would let me stay away." Her pretty mouth was quivering and her eyes were full of tears. I put my arm round her, and together we went into the ilimughall. l)ark figures wore, seated round—men arid women; tho two sisters with their beautiful pain faces set off by tho crape on their dull black gowns; two or three elderly gentlemen, cousins of old Mr. Gaseoigne., one military, another a country squire; and the wife of the latter, stout and con»ely, her round good-natured countenance- preternaturally solemn. There wero the servants, sitting apart, serious tmd demure—Mr. Gascoigne's old servant, honestly grieving over the loss of his master; and Mrs. Greams, supremely conscious of her position; Lucy, with every smile banished from her rosy face; and the Frenchwoman Mathilele, uoO ing everything from the corners of her black ryes; and all tke other domestics in new black suits, half awestruck by the gravity of the proceedings. Crawford Carden sat at the head of the table, and by his side was un elderly professional- looking man whom I knew to bo the London lawyer. Annis and I retreated into a corner of the long room, and prepared ourselves to listen. Mr. Carden got up to make histirst-announcoment, and spoko in his clear soft accents; but I detected a conscious gleam in his eyes ami a suppressed smile lurking beneath the corners of his dark iriustuche. Instinctively I felt that un hour of1 triumph for him must bo coming; and yet 1 trusted my old master too well to be as confident of it as was the man himself. "I believe," he began, "it will be a matter of considerable surprise to you that the lamented gentleman whose loss wo me dexploring, though he was my client and the client of my predecessor in all his business arrangements, did not oonfido his latest testamentary documents to us. Some two years since he instructed mo in a will which he then drew up; but about six w«cks since, he made another. On this occasion he said that he could not, for obvious reasons, ask my prefessiohitl assistance.

Parker and Harris of Lincoln's Inn; and my friend Mr. Parker has the exist <K!Y of the will at present." He sat down again. It did not need a very sharp eye to discover the eagerness in his face. He had fawned upon and flattered and courted and spied for Mr. Gasccigne for two years; he had lied te incriminate his nephews, lied to inculpate his niecest worked himself "assiduously into favor; and now the reward was t* come.. Others noticed the leok, others who knew nothing of all that I knew.,of Mr. Carden; and some of tho servants stared at him.

And Mr. Gasooigne's will was a len?thy ono drawn up by the lawyer, but yet with glimpses of the old gentleman's acerbity nnd sarcastic humor running through all. '"The last will and testament of mo, Richard Gascoigne of !St Gabriel's Grange, Marlands St.. Gabriel, in tho county of Fellshire." First, there came a number of small boquo* t«. No one seemed to ho forgotten; those who thought themselves completely out of the secluded man's remembrance found past friendship aud past services wore not forgotten. Tho cousins and the cousin's wife found their journey had not been in vain, ftud so far no one was Inclined to doubt that this was a just and generous will. Indeed the keenness of the old urn's knowledge made them forget to criticise, out of rery wonder. The Colonel's face was screwed up with nmazemont when he found himself requested not to use his legacy to back the favorite, for a weakness in that way wai hie guarded secret, and Marythe housemaid stared open-mouthed at a special bequest to buy her wedding-bonnet, since how could the master, whom she scarocly Music in Al From the time when medical knowiedpfos wan first embodied in rules of practice, aud probably from a much earlier period, music; held a recognized place in the treatment of disenHO.

I almost smiled to think how Mr. Gasroigiie must have chuckled fls h« wrote down nil these things, mid how he must have wished he could be present when his remarks were heard by the Innocent subject* oMhew. Hut Mr. Parker was yawing on to larger sums and to matters more intimately concealing the present occupants at the Grange. "To my niece Gwendoline, wifti of my friend Lord Martin 1'omeroy, 1 leave ten thousand pounds, the uaintlnir bv Turner iu the library, which I have heard her admire, and any two other paintings, not being family portraits, which she may select.

My heart beat vehemently In spite of my supposition that 1 was not interested; I felt Aunis's hand tremble. An yet no mention had been made of the Grange, nor of ('rawford Carden, nor of Gilbert and Ulric Which of the three was to possess it? Had not Mr. Giuscoltfws positively assured us he would bwqqeath nothing to his nephews';1 "I think," thy will went on, "thut I have now settled on all my relatives, ray old friends, and my servants all that they could have expected or that I had givmithem any grounds to expect. 1 give aud bequeath to Crawford Garden of Norbury, solicitor, the sura of two hundred pounds for special professional services, with my compliments.

For a moment I sat still, aghast and dumb-stricken, and the lawyer's Toice went on like a machine, saying I know not what, I felt nothing but the scorching gaze of those eyes, saw nothing but the crowd of staring faces.

His face was intensely white, nnd his smile seemed savage in its expression. He took ruy luand—his was cold and damp—and said, in a smooth voice that jarred un my every nervo— ~ "I oongrntulate you. I think you hardly anticipated this!" But Annis rose tip and came and put her arms round me, and gave the tiuo meaning of the strange will. "Dear Viola, I am-so glad! Gilbert will have the Going* niter all. Uncle Richard has kept his word; but jou we he has forgiven Gilbert." And the others saw then tlmt the old man had kept his word.

Every respectful word from tlie housekeeper. who accepted tlu: Mitualion.with. all the outward matter-of-fact de.meaner of the trained servant who considers it not her place to be. surprised, every subservient speech of the wondering maids, tilled mo with amazement. They hardly knew what to make of their old master's mode of procedure; and even to Murlands and as far as> Norbury I was talked about, and no doubt criticised not always favorably. But every oneiknew Gilbert, and every ene liked him; and the fact that my engagement to him had been known n month before covered a multitude of real or imaginary sins attributed to me. When I look back, I am surprised to remember how kindly I was treated everywhere, for my unexpected fortune must have laid me open to charges of design and intrigue; but Annls's gentle aflectien silently pleaded my cause, and I dare eay they could seo that I was very fond of Gilbert and he of me—and Mr. Gascoigne had established a reputation for eccentricity. Probably they nnderstood his plans—a resolve to keep his woid, a dogged determination not outwardly to acknowledge claims he had once put aside. In effect it was the same; he knew I should in a few months be Gilbert's wife, and I was but a trustee until then. TO BK CONTINUED.

If it falls on Friday the following year is looked forward to as one of great surprises. An undent manubcript in the Uritish museum has the following1 to say of Thursday which has u beurin^ on the events of 1891. It must be conceded that in some respects it hits the right nail on the Head: "If Chrintmaa day on ThurHday be, A windy winter ye shall see; Windy weather in each week And nurd tempt-sta, strong and thick. The summer ahull be good and dry; Corn and beasts ahull multiply: That yeur is good fur land to till; KingB and princew shall die by akllL If u child burn thut day shall be, It snull happen right well for he; Of deeds, he shall be good^and Htable, Wise of hpeech and returnable. Whoso thut day goes thieving about, He shall be punished, without doubt; And if sicknewa that day betide, It shall quickly from you glide." Last winter was a windy one. The crops have been wonderful. Kings and Princes too have died by skill. The minor prophesies can only be summed up by those directly interested. Of Questionable Value.

Many are the men who when they realize that Christmas is approaching look into their affairs and conclude that this year the day must pass by without any special celebration. Not many, we fancy, roach this conclusion out of pure meanness. tis~dul the miserable Scrooge whose tribulations Dickens has made known to us, but. as a rule, these decisions are arrived at upon very sound if very sad investigations into accrued profits and pressing liabilities. This little venture lias miscarried for one head of a family, another one has depleted his savings in paying the doctor and the apothecary, and still another has U'arneu something of the law's delay HL.<\ the expensive costs tiiereof. He tells 1 is wife and he tells his children that this ys'iir there will be no Christmas gifts, lie says this over and over again, and he,., iv'lieves himself thut there will Ue ri.oiu1, This bas been his lean ye-oty^nd those who belong to 1'iim must partake of his leanness. As the holiday approaches he sees in the streets and in the newspapers more twukiiuH1*- of greater -pre pa m tion.—As this activity increases, his avowals of an inability to do a proper part in the customary celebration become stronger and more frequent. He doth protest so much that the children scarcely credit him, and secretly believe that Christmas will be celebrated as usual.

That's what you think, perhaps, "when you read that the proprietors of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy offqr $500 reward for an incurable caso of Catarrh. Rather unusual, you think, to find the makers of a medicine trying to prove that they bolievo in it* "There must be something back of i t ! " But it's a plain, square offer, made in good faith. The only thing that's back of it is the Remedy, ft curea Catarrh in-the Head. To its mild, soothing, cleansing and healing properties, the worst cases yield, no matter how bad or of how long standing. It has a record that goes back for 25 years* It doesn't simply relievo — it perfectly and permanently cures. * With a Remedy like this, the proprietors caa make such an offer and mean it. To be sure there's risk in it, but it's so very small that they are willing to take it. You'vo " never heard of anything like this offer?" True enough.

'"Tain't half so dirty as this rum," «aid Benson; "it would poison a dog." * And as the words left his mouth the fxall opened with a sudden and tremendous crash. Two heavy matchboxes W.ent lor Tom behind the bar; one laid him out as quietly as if he had been hocussed; the other smashed a tJottle which held a liquor known on the Barbary Coast as brandy, and starred the mirror behind the shelves. Tfeomas at the same moment stooped and caught Shanghai Smith by the ahkles and pitched him on his head. He never had time to reach for his "gun." The merchant seamen jumped t o theif feet and made for the door. "Stop them!" said Benson, and half a dozen bluejackets hustled them back again. "No you don't, Johnnies; you can stay and 'ave free drinks, and look after the man behind the bar. Drag out that Smith and get 'im in the open ain" And Thomas dragged Smith, into t h e darkness by his collar. "There's to be no drinkin\ for us," said Benson. "Smash what you like, and taste nothin'." And in less than a tnihute Sanghai's place was a lament- Able and ghastly spectacle. "Sarves him right," said one of the merchant seamen, as he salved a bottle of poison. "Oh, ain't he a sailorrobbing swine?" "Fetch him in and let him look at it," said Benson, with a winK. . Thomas had been primed. \ "He's come to and run like billyo h ! " he cried. But Smith was incapable of run- Caught Shanghai Smith by the ankles. cmg. He was being carried by two t>fuejackets. ; <4 After 'im, after 'im," said Benson; and In another moment the whole house was clear. ^V>ea Tom came to, he found the jplace a wreck, and four boarders too par gone in free liquor to offer any use- £i} explanation of what had occurred inee the rum had been pronounced t to poison a do^. i "All I know is," said the soberest, , |#<that he fit and we fit and fit and fit, and then 'e run." And when Tom sought for the police It was very odd that th*re was not one to be found in the quarter of San \ Francisco which most needs clubbing to keep It in order. There was not even one to bear witness that a crowd \ of bluejackets and an Amerioan citizen had come along the water front at midnight. But five minutes after midnight a British lieutenant could have taken his oath that both crews were in their boats and at least moderately sober. "I've seen the admiral, Benson," said Selwyn, as he stepped into his boat and sat down, "and h» may be later than he said." "Very well, sir," replied Benson. And as soon as Selwyn had disappeared into the darkness, the boat with Mr. Shanghai Smith in followed suit. And the Bay of San Francisco is not so well policed that they had any one inquiring what they were doing as they pulled across to saucelito, and laid up quietly till three o'clock. "He ain't dead, we hopes," said the crew of the boat. "Not 'e," said Benson; "'is 'eart beats all to rights, and 'is head is perpectly sound, bar a lump the size of a 'en's egg. That up-endin' dodge of Thomas' is very fatal in a row—oh, it's very fatal." It was nearly two o'clock before Shanghai made any motion. But when he did begin to get conscious, he found his mind and his tongue with surprising rapidity. "That 'ead of yourn must be made of five-eighths boiler-plate, Mr. Smith," said Benson, as Smith sat us suddenly. "What am I doin' here?" asked Smith. "'Ow do we know?" asked the delighted crew. "You would come. It warn't no good excusin' of ourselves." Smith put his hand to his head. "Who hit me?" he demanded, savagely. "No one," said the crew unanimously; "you tried to stand on your 'ead." "Put me ashore," said Smith. "What are you goin' to do?" "We're waitin' to see the 'Arvester yonder 'eave 'er anchor up," replied Benson. "We're in the sailor-supplyin' line, we are, same as you was." "He don't like to hear that," said Billings; "we're cutting him out of a job. And this time we ain't supplyin' admirals." "No, we ain't. Yah, you man-buyin', sailor-robbin' swine! And 'twas you dared touch our admiral. Oh, you dog, you!" They all took a turn at him, and Smith saw he was in the tightest corner he had ever occupied. This was satisfactorily expressed for him. "Say, Shanghai, did you ever heal of Barney's bull?" And when Smith refused to answer they answered for him. "He was jammed in a clinch, and so are you. You're goin' to 'ave the finest time of all your life. Did you ever hear of Sant of the 'Arvester?" And Smith, for all his brutal courage, shook in his boots. "I'll give you chaps a hundred dollars to put me ashore," he cried. "I never touched Sir Richard Dunn." "Dry up," said Benson, "and don't lie. We wouldn't part with you, my jewel, not for a thousand. What made you desert from the 'Arvester, a comfortable ship like that, with sich a duck of a skipper?" "I'll give you a thousand," said Smith desperately. "At four o'clock you're goin' on the 'Arvester—and tis night on three now. Sant wouldn't miss a man like you, so smart and 'andy, for all the gold in Californy. Own up as you shanghaied the admiral?" Smith grasped at any chance of avoiding the Harvester. For Sant had a dreadful name, and both is mates were terrors. "If I own I put him away, will you take me ashore and hand me over to the police?" He was almost in a state of collapse. Benson looked at the man, and in the faint light of far-off day still below the horizon the boat's crew saw him wink. "We'll vote on it, if you owns up. What d'ye say, chaps?" "Aye, we'll vote," said the men. "Say. did you do it?" But Smith saw how the voting would go, and refused to speak. They heard six bells come across the water from many ships. And then they heard seven. There was a grey glint in the east. The sand-dunes on the verge of the Ocean Park whitened as they pulled for the Harvester. They heard the clank of her windlass brakes and the bull voice of her mato, as he encouraged his men to do their best by threatening them with three months of hell afloat. Smith offered Benson two thousand dollars. "I wouldn't part, with you except to Sant for all you ever robbed men, cf," Bald Benson—"and what this Is, on1 } yotr Jtnaws. Pull, boya; hsi: .fiitblfi'*. up and down. No, hold on a moment; he must be wet, of course." In spite of his struggles they put him over the side and soused him thoroughly, When they pulled Mm on board again, he sat cursing. "Now, boys, bend your backs." And when he came up alongside the Harvester she was just moving under the draught of her loosed topsails. "Harvester, ahoy!" cried Benson. "Hallo!" said Sant. "What is it?" "You don't happen to have lost one of your crew, tryin' to desert by swimmin, sir?" "Have you picked him up? What's his name, does he say?" "It's Smith, sir." "That's the man," said Sant. "I want him badly." But Smith cried out: "This is kidnappin', Mr. Sant. I refuse to go." "Oh, Smith," said Sant, "I'll take all the chances of it's bein' anythin' you like. Throw them a rope." And the Triumphants towed alongside. "Up you go," said Benson. "I won't," said Smith. "Won't you?" asked Benson. "We'll see about that. Hook on there, Billings." And the next moment Smith was Jammed in a running bowline. ^ m m e d in a running bowline round his waist. "Sway him up," said Benson; and the crew of the Harvester hoisted the notorious robber with about the only feelings of pleasure they were likely to know till they reached New York. And the Triumphants pushed off as they heard the mate address Mr. Smith in language which did his reputation and the reputation of the ship most ample justice. "There's talk and there's a foretopsail- yard-ahoy voice for you," said Benson. "Oh, Mr. Smith will be looked after, he will. Now, chaps, pull for it, for the admiral will be waitin', and if that 'appens, 'twill be 'Stand from under.' " (To be continued.) Town Legislators Battle. There has recently been a battle of WTaterloo in Australia. Waterloo is a prosperous suburb of Sydney, governed by a mayor and municipal council. At the last meeting of the council an alderman alleged that a disproportionate amount of . public money was being expended on the mayor's ward. The mayor retorted with the word "liar," whereupon the alderman rushed to the chair and struck the mayor. Both were soon on the floor hitting and kicking. They were eventually separated, the mayor resumed the chair and it was thought that peace had been restored. But suddenly the mayor seized an inkstand and hurled it at the head of his opponent, missing his aim, but ruining the shirt fronts of several innocent aldermen. Use Veils a3 a Shield. J. D. Rees, a lecturer on Persia. says that the veils worn by Persian ladies are more of a privilege than a punishment. Screened behind it woman may walk wherever she pleases and even her own husband dare not question her movements. Doubtless many Persian ladies make the most of their opportunities. The Persians. as a rule, do not think it right to take wine, but as nearly all their poetry is in praise of the ilowing bowl it will be inferred that they frequently do violence to their conscience. Occasionally, however, they are seized with remorse; whereupon they destroy the wine of their Armenian neighbors. Are We Smoking Too Much?

Croup, capillary bronchitis, and articular rheumatism are the special banes of childhood. These all alike result from catching cold. One child catches cold and scares its mother into hysterics by having croup in the dead of night. Another child catches cold, develops a stubborn cough that will not yield to ordinary remedies, The parents are filled with forbodings. Still aDother child catches cold and develops that most fatal malady of childhood, capillary bronchitis. The doctor is called, pronounces the case pneumonia, and if the child is lucky enough to live it has developed weak lungs from which it may never recover. And yet another child catches cold and articular rheumatism is the result. Ankles, knees, wrists and elbows become suddenly swollen and painful. A long disastrous ill», ness follows. The child may live and be-, come convalescent, a miserable invalid ot, valvular disease of the heart. All thes* , mishaps are the direct result of neglected} cold. Peruna is the safeguard of the family. If a child catches cold, Peruna sbOftM be used immediately. A few doses of Peruna and a child scokl isgone. The apprehension of the parents flee away.

The shaving of the bridegroom on ! his wedding day is a Bulgarian custorn which, handed down from pre- ! Christian days, is still observed with j due formality, especially in country [ districts. While the barber is at his task a dancing crowd of young folks surrounds him and the bridegroom. As the latter's hair is cut the snippings are carefully collected by some of the girls for preservation in one of the bride's chests. The barber, when his work is done, receives a small white linen cloth as a present, and also a trifling sum of money from each person there. Then the bridegroom kisses the hands of all the girls, washes his face and dons his wedding dress, which must first be carefully weighed three times by one of the boys. Duke Is Injured in Fait.

This land's selling price, in genoral Weld county open m a r k e t would not exceed $110 per acre, with inclusive water rights and, therefore, t h e cash return of this season's harvest is more than equal to the full market value of the entire farm itself." The potato crop of the Greeley district will be between 8.000 and 10,000 oar loads. J. A. Hicks had t h e largest yield per acre, fifteen acres growing 300 sacks per acre. Many farmers have raised from 230 to 200 sacks per acre and t h e average crop per acre easily reaches 100 sacks. The potato harvest in this district will bring to the farmers $2,000,000. Fifteen hundred to 2,- ()()0 c a r loads have already been shipped to Iowa. Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, Indian Territory, Oklahoma and scattering markets. In this same section there a r e now six enormous beet sugar factories, costing from $600,000 to $1,500,000 each, three of them having been built this year. F a r m e r s are finding sugar beets almost as profitable to raise a s potatoes. T h e Increase in the price of land a n d the growth of the towns in this region h a s been remarkable in the past few years. What h a s already been done in northern and eastern Colorado is now being done in t h e valleys and parks of the western half of the state. In some lines of agriculture—fruit growing, for instance—the western slope already beats all other portions of t h e state. It is safe to say that the three western slope counties of Mesa, Delta a n d Montrose will market this season a n aggregate of $2,000,000 worth of fruit, net money, and that next year this amount will reach $3,000,000. These sales can be bulkily summarized a s follows: Mesa county, through t h e Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association, 600 c a r loads of summer fruits, inclusive of peaches, pears, plums and prunes, net cash value, $390,000; other summer sales of lesser fruit bearing, counting apricots, nectarines, straw* berries, raspberries, currants, etc., sixty car loads net returns, $40,000; a grape growth aggregating $100,000 and a conservatively estimated final apple shipment, of 700 cars a t $450 per ear, or $315,000 of cash apple auditing, thus giving Mesa county through t h e Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association alone a n e t fruit sale of $845,- noo, to which is to be added the shipments of t h e Whitewater Fruit Growers' Association and a long list of individual and independent orchard marketing, with a grand total of Mesa county fruit money for 1903 reaching beyond $1,000,000. Delta county fruit shipments this year include the teeming orchards of the famous North Fork valley of t h e Gunnison a n d large marketing from Delta, t h e county seat—peaches, pears, prunes, plums, apples and berries being all represented with a total net fruit return this year for the county approximating $600,000.

X C; Shrinkage In Cured Hay. The variations in weight of hay are perhaps more marked than in most farm products, «ays Karmers' Bulletin 149. A considerable difference in shrinkage occurs between h a y cured la dry weather and hay cured when the atmosphere Is more or less moist. For this reason the shrinkage in hay In a dry climate is usually smaller than in the more humid regions. At the Kansas station small quantities of thirteen different kinds of hay buried in the mow from four to six months shrunk 4.5 per cent on an average, ranging from a 14 per cent loss to a 3 per cent gain. Five tons of very dry timothy hay Btored in a mow for six months a t the Michigan station lost nearly 7 per cent, and in another test 5,600 pounds of the same kind of hay in a good condition placed In the mow July 6 had lost 776 pounds o r 13.8 per cent by February 18 following. Practical men estimate t h a t h a y put in the mow when in good condition usually shrinks about 20 per cent by the time it is baled. T h e Utah station has reported a loss of a little over 15 per cent in a ton of timothy bay after it had been kept in t h e barn for nine months. A stack of timothy hay containing a little over two tons and built in the open had gained a little over 1 per cent during t h e same time. The results with clover hay a t the s a m e station show a loss of 3.75 per cent during nine months when kept in the barn and a gain of 10 per cent for the s a m e period when stacked out of doors. At the Missouri station timothy hay in t h e stack lost about 12.5 per cent by spring, and when stored in t h e mo~A about 7 per cent. A stack of second growth clover put up at this same station in July had shrunk about 30 per cent in weight by t h e following March. The results of experiments conducted by different stations show t h a t the degree of maturity at which hay is cut influences very largely the shrinkage during curing. At the Pennsylvania station early cut hay lost on an average of 29 per cent in weight, while late cut hay lost only 21.5 per cent. Timothy cut when just beginning to head lost 75 per cent of water In curing; when cut at the beginning of the blossoming period, 66 per cent; and cut a little later, or about the usual time, 57 per cent. T h e Michigan station found a shrinkage of about 60 per cent in curing clover. At the New York state station meadow fescue mixed with a little red clover lost in one lot 62.68 per cent and in another 58.25 per cent during curing. T h e moisture retained in cured fodder varies with different kinds. Atwater c'.ates t h a t for New England timothy hay retains on an average 12 per cent of moisture, clover hay 14 per cent, and corn fodder 25 per cent. <3 A. GAME UGHTER. Feeding Alfalfa to Stock7 Alfalfa should not be pastured until it has matured a goodly hardy crown and root system to enable it to withstand the trampling of stock, says a bulletin of the Texas station. At least two years should be allowed t h e crop for this purpose, and even more would be conducive to a hardy crop. If green feed is desired the alfalfa can be cut and fed as a soiling crop during this time. Spring pasturing of alfalfa is responsible for t h e disappearance of many good stands. At this time of year the plant is j u s t recovering from the effects of low temperature and needs all of its energies. It cut during early spring, t u ? fickle bar should be set higher than usual. Do not turn a hungry or thirsty animal into an alfalfa field. By observing this rule and further accustoming them to it by gradually increasing their time of feeding, little or no injurious effect will accompany t h e pasturing of horses and hogs. Cattle are more liable to bloat, and even with the best of care and attention fatal cases will occur. Soiling cattle is the safest method of feeding them alfalfa. The Kansas station estimated t h e value of green alfalfa fed for seventyfour days to dairy cattle a t $25.26 per acre. Profitable results h a v e been secured by feeding alfalfa to steers, care being exercised to prevent scouring, by gradually increasing t h e amount to the maximum quantity. Pigs thrive on alfalfa pasture—twelve to fifteen head of pigs may be turned on an acre of alfalfa with t h e bes£ results. In combination with a finishing ration of grain it is most effective. Experiments in feedng alfalfa to horses indicate that the cost of male* tenance is reduced. Lifted Them. Teacher—Well, Tommy, what stops did you take to enjoy yourself on Halloween?

It seldom weigLs more than from thirty-five to forty pounds, although there is an' other species occasionally met with wnich reaches twice that size. Peccaries lack, too, the sharp outgrowing tusks which make the old-world boars such formidable opponents. Yet the peccary is one of the ganiest creatures Imaginable. Given a fair chance, he will make a hard fight for his life against any number of odds. Both the panther and the jaguar are very fond of peccary meat. They will follow a herd for weeks and months together on the chance of picking up a straggler now and then. But the peccaries are Buch fierce fighters that the big cats are afraid to attack them in the open or when two or more are together. The Jaguar keeps watch among t h e branches of a tree until a careless peccary strays from the drove. Then with a sudden spring the jaguar leaps out upon its prey, kills it with one blow from its powerful paw and is off before t h e rest of the drove knows what has happened. A Western Woolgrower.

"I jud^e a. man by his eyes, but a woman always by her lips," saitl Benjamin Franklin. And no man ever read people more correctly. Queen Elizabeth once refused to enga^ e a waiting woman who came with every possible recommendation, "beta use," she said, "the woman is a talebearer. Do you not see the downward dip of her lip? 1 will none of her." "In choosing a wife let her be a woman whose lips do not droop at the ! represented. corners," advises a Persian sage. "If a woman's lips droop her husband's life will be a perpetual mourning time. Nor yet should they curve too much upward, for that denotes frivolity." Select for a wife one whose lips are straight, not thin. When the curve or arch is lacking |nd the lip overhangs, not loosely, but well detined and firm, the owner Is gentle and rea'dy to please. The niouih of sagacity is large and always well closed, with the line of the lips firmly denned. • of bis daughter in Adrian, Dec 18. ] Mr. Hicks WHS a former resident of Pinckney and was a member ot the Maccabees hern at the time of hi j d e . t h . 1 For the tir^t time there were last year studrtrfs ,u the University of Michigan from e y r y s'ate and territory except Ala-ka.

The citizens of this village were awakened about six o'clock Sunday morning by the startling cry of "fire." The blaze was in the home of H. W. Crotoot on Main Street. It was, bat a few moments before there were many willing hands there and by hard worn the house was saved although it seem* ed many time? as if the fire bad the start of them. There was no wind so that was in their favor and by catting out they managed to get at the seat of the fire and it was pat oat: Nearly everything bad been taken from the lower floor however as it looked as if there was no hope of saving the building. Jnst how the fire got started is "a mystery as there was no fire near the closet in the chamber where it scarted. The only tbonght is that there might have been some matches in some of the pockets of the clothing and to have been set off by mice, or it might have come from the chimney and have been smouldering for several hours as neighbors smelted tire the day before but could not locate it. Dr. W. J. Walsh, who sleeps in the- chamber, knew nothing of the fire until Mrs. Crofoot went up and found it all in flames and called him. A moment more and he would have made his escape out of the window. The flames were confined to the closet and one room so that the dam age was no* so great but that part of the house will have to be rebuilt. They were lucky to save any part of the building. Mr. and Mrs. Crofoot have the sympathy of the entire village as this is a bad time of the year to be burned out. We understand that they will occupy Mrs. Brokaw's house across the street until their own can be repaired. Mr. and Bits. H, W. Crofoot wish to thank their trie/ids and neighbors for their kindness and assistance daring their recent loss. Supt. N. J. Robinson of the schoolsr here entertained his friend Prof. Web* ber of Ohio. Mr. Webber is a specialist in history and taught the. classes here Monday and Tuesday. « *F-r; - sV':-V.- : -^-vV' We Have the Variety that Insures the Ea^y, Satiafactoiy Choice—The Field for Selection is the* Widest, The Prices are the Fairest, A Generous Assortment Full of Quality and Merit I "•*< ; T ~ T : "— "'—- — " " 1 You Want Satisfaction in.

Make bats, dresses, I care not what*" 8»e says it is a hard life which singers lead, and involves deprivations of what most people call pleasure. The voice and its care must have the first thought and the last, which means in fact that the singer is a slave to her precious voice. And yet, remarks the Indianapolis Star, all that Calve and her sister singers may say will not hinder one girl from striving to stand where they do if she has the ambition with any sort of a voice. Europe is not the only part of the world where earthquakes have been felt. From the grimly named Death Valley comes the announcement of a Berles of shocks there and in that vicinity, causing great consternation. Heavy bouIderB have been tossed about, miners have been thrown out of bunks, the. usually placid mules have been driven to a frenzy which caused • them to stampede and there have be*m general "ructions;' one result of which has been the fleeing of many miners to regions where Mother Earth shows leis df an antic disposition. No really serious harm is reported, but the upheavals, in connection wiht perturba- Hon^s elsewhere, would seem to show that there is a very lively and exten slve agitation going on in the world's interior. r.,. .r.

The trial of Frank P. Glazier, for criminal misuse of the funds of the *.tate whfle he was etate treasurer, is now fairly under way. The complete Jury was obtained shortly after 11 o'clock Thunsday mopping and Prosecutor Foster immediately started his opening address to the Jury, made up as follows: Fred. J.

Three of the talesmen had lost1 money through such failures, it was learned. These* taleamen were eaouaed. "Frank -P.* Glasler deposited state money in his own hank at Chelsea,-' that he-might secure .control of - the. funds and use ihem for his private ends," said Foster, in his opening statement. The prosecutor traced the methods used by Glazier to secure the funds, and tnming to where Glazier sat immobile with hi» wile, pointed his finger at the respondent and said: t "When Glazier turned over the office of state treasurer he.turned over with it a deficit in the state treasury and 'the deficit still exists." Continuing, the prosecutor told of Glasier's private business ventureis ami of the methods whereby he had run through large sums of money, making the state eventually the loser. Glazier's banking methods come in for. an arraignment at the hands of the prosecutor, who said the prosecution would expect to show that Glazier had no right to deposit state funds in his own bank at Chelsea, but had deposited over $000,000 of such funds, in that institution. Just before the failure, Glazier was a stockholder and director in the bank, owning over 600 share* of the bank stock; was president of the bank and chairman of the discount committee and reaped a p rsonal benefit by the state funds being STATE NEW& SRiEFS..

From different sections of the country come almost daily j-eports of murders forwhlch the too ready use of the re volver "was responsible. The greater percentage of the fatal shooting affrays recorded in the press during the past three, or four months have been the, outcome of personal quarrels, many of them paltry and none, justifying a resort to the so-called "unwritten law." The time appears ripe, says the Jersey City Journal, for legislative action on the part of the differentiates to curb the sale of deadly weapons to people who, by reason of their temperaments, ought not to be permitted to carrjr concealed implements of murder. The sale of darning cottan is falling off, and the local manager of a big New York dry goods house says this is a sign of prosperity. The American woman, he declares, will not dam her own or anybody else's stockings more than once when she can eifppd to buy new ones, and in this view he is supported by the president of a New Hng^ land thread mill, who has observed the fluctuations of the darning cotton trade. They undoubtedly slander Amerjcgn ..Ffltten by this assertion. £*> not women darn their stockings, hard times or not, because they dislike to have boles in them?

This helps out the state, as they have advanced taxes not due until April. The checks were received yesterday for amounts as follows: Michigan Central $400,000 Chicago .Northwestern 200,000 Pere Marquette 150,000 It: is stated that the early payments were brought, about through the influence of Attorney General Bird. While the money under the law is for the primary school fund, state employes arc hoping that it can be used before Christmas to pay salaries. This matter is up to Auditor General Bradley, and he will he urged to permit its use for such purposes. an Elk Rapids1 warehouse was suffocated to death.

In the old document it was provided that circuit Judges should receive $2,1)60 per year, wa!re several 6ft.se big counties had the privilege of adding to this compensation. In the new constitution the intent was to arrange the provision so that all counties in the stat* might have the riffct to increase these Salaries, hut through a rnixup, the provision WM so changed rtist the legislature must now fix the salary.

The steeping giant had lost commercial supremacy in a conttnent which was hers by right of location and needs, to a race of industrious workers across the sea. Nor had Germany neglected her fight for trade at home. There, too. she found egotistB, so swollen with self 8uffciency that by disastrous taHff methods they had been bested. England, falling to protect her producers had driven her own farmers and carriers from the field, until, as one dls gruntled farmer said: "You can't pick up a cabbage In a stall which don't bear the words 'made in Germany;'" and If a new crown was needed for the king, Germany would have stood a fa|r chance of booking the order. In a mvtnal authority, when even the arost carefully reared power prwVed tumble hshed through the loss of her «reat natural revulsion which had reached j pllcable h*d taken place was known feyej1 heat before the Japanese-American war *broke out, England was try ing to obstruct this encroachment. The feeling thus engendered between the two nations culminated in one of •envy on the part of Great Britain and one of hatred on the part of Germany: The- kaiser, calmly reviewtag times And conditions, decided that the timehad come to strike. England, with power sadly dlmin-' Qeetraad at the mercy of the Unltetf SttttSfi m bar richest colony, stood open* to-attach. While she wis still mourning defeat, Germany took exception to the tariff laws in a **ory carefully worded meaa«jg».

A fe*w mtnutes later he was surprised when the emperor came from the room and went to hfs dressing chamber, from which he emerged in the plainest of civilian clothing, after which he beckoned to his two companions'; y His imperial majesty cautioned the guard to let no one know that he was leaving or of the nocturnal visitor, and, still accompanied by the unknown man and the chancellor, passed from the palace. From this on he was traced to the very carriage door, which was closed behind the party by afcother attendant. The vehicle drove away( in the night, the glow of, the mens cigars being the last thing nc* ticed by (he man who. escorted them, thus showing thai all were en very friendly and. intimate terms. ! The conveyance itself was traced for Several miles'"into the country, through the fact of its' having passed several other rigs. There was nothing in its appearance to distinguish It from any other, and only the fact that the streets at that time of night were desorted enabled the officers to gather any Idea of its direction. 'Oth ers had been observed; but all were identified and accounted for, and it was by a process of elimination only that the one carrying the kaiser and his companions was tracked. The re turn journey of the vehicle, if soch there had'been, was not noticed, and therefore led to the theory that some where within the empire the kaiser and chancellor were being held pris oners. The puzzling feature of the occur rence was that the emperor must have been acquainted and even on terms of friendliness with the man who decoyed him away. No anarchistic attempt could be deduced from the situation, because with the careful search that had been made it was certain that there could have been no assassination unless a most remarkable concealment had been made of all evidences of the crime. Nor was it even tenable that tbe party had crossed the border line, because in a condition of threatened war all travelers were being closely watched. Over every foot of the empire and into the moat inaccessible portions, search was being made for the place where the nation's ruler and the chancellor might be held; but so far there had been nothing whatever that threw even the faintest ray of light on their whereabouts. The attempts of the secret service men and mem bers of his majesty's family to keep his disappearance a secret failed, and Indeed was unnecessary, for the people themselves had to be enlisted in a quest involving the whole country. It was at this juncture that a Hc^ many horse trader, scenting a reward, offered his services and a suggestion to the police which was promptly' dcted upon. He described having met the carriage which was supposed to have taken away t h e emperor, and, following the Instincts of the horseman, he 8crnttnlsed the anlrdals more closely than the conveyance. He sakl he was walking ronnd a turn in the road, and whs almost run Over before he had time to gain a free way. One of the horses almost brushed him ia passing, and he noticed not only a singularity - of gait, but a peculiar white -mark .on the animala naak. <TO B E CONTIMUSIX) Ua who lovath the aaagar ahaU §**> within 24 hours, when the change took place. At the first day's delay the welt informed wondered, and when two days had passed, and finally three, it became certain that some very unusual event had taken place in Berlin. , Rnmors began to creep to London, to Paris, and soon the whole world knew, despite Germany's attempts to keep the matter a secret, that on the very eve of a crista the kaiser, the most dominant figure in Europe, had disappeared.

And all the time the butler alleges she shouted: ''It's fired I am. is it?" The butler says he tried to reason with the woman, but she turned upon him with a rolling pin in her hand. The butler retreated with the cook close upon his heels. By this tfme the staff of servants was demoralized. Mrs. Spader was in her room and most of the servants had locked themselves in their rooms.

When Policeman FItzgibhon arrived he says Mary was seated in the parlor, rclling pin in her hand. He tried to convince her that she had been fired and she shied a book at him, he says. Fitzgibbon summoned Policeman Clark. Then, the policemen say, she backed to the wall so that they could not surround her. asd, waving the roiling pin, dared them to, "cpme on and; fight it out now. if lt'3 fired I am." The policemen sent for the police wagon, and, assisted by the driver. they closed in on Mary. In the struggle she kicked off both shoes, but was made a prisoner, and. without the shoea, was taken in the wagon to the station house, and locked up. Skunka Raid Bee Hives..

As to the length of time the earth la likely to last, the calculations are that It will not cease to be active for a good many millions of years, such activity ; not, however, necessarily supposing jfthat life as we know it now will always be possible, the eventuality of a universal ice age being always a contingency that may occur again in the history of the globe. It Is Interesting to note that In this connection a Swedish mystic called Stromberg has declared that the world would never know another ice age, but i that it was now- running out its course ' to the end. Its existence, he declared, J would endure as long as tire burned in | the earth's bowels—that is, until I he whole mass shall have become sol id I- "fled. The internal fires, he said, pr<>- ! vided the link which maintained the earth in the sun's sphere of attraction. When this attraction shall fail, the earth, according to the Swede, will • cease to revolve and will fall away. only to disappear by fire caused by friction, thus verifying the Biblical prophecy. As. however, the process of coolfnp down entirely will take some billions of years, tho nervous person will note that there is really no immediate cause for alarm. — New York World.

I t i s known that he intends to visit Panama again January and that he will take with him a number of engineering officers in no way connected with the work.

I At low tide in midsummer on certain parts of the Breton coast men and boys with baskets and hoes descend the white beach to the sea's edge. They are anglers, but the fish they seek live on dry land. With his hoe each fisherman makes swiftly in the packed sand shallow parallel trenches, very close together and about a yard long. If the luck be good every scratch of the hoe uncovers three or four silvery fish, the size of sardines, that leap up glittering into the air. Thej must be seized quickly or at once they bury themselves In the sand again. They are called lancons. The smaller ones are used for mackerel halt; the • larger, with their heads out off, make, \ fried, an excellent dish a good deal j like fried smelts. With daylight tides ! the lancons are seldom Mgger than a i man's middle finger, but with the night ildes, when promenaders have l not disturbed tbe sand, they run very I large indeed. Then, their lanterns flashing on the 1 teach, the Breton fishermen often capture 1 >ns a foot lone Poor Board. "I see,1' said Mrs. Starvem.

I lived there from childhood till I was thirty years old and have many friends there now. S i ? years ago while spending a f e w weeks with my old friends, the local option question was put to a vote and carried for the fifth successive time. I WHS at P a w P a w and otuer towns and saw no signs of drunkenuesa in any of them, therefore when the Herald stated Sept. 11 tli that wherever the local option does exist the evil is a hundred tirueB worse than it ever was under the open saloons, I took ezceptions to this statement and still d o .

H e says 'I have seen more drunkenness in Paw P a w in a single day under the open saloon than will be seen now in an entire year.' A few days ago in my presence at Lansing, Mr, Rowland repeated the statement with great emphasis. Here, Mr. Editor, is proof not only that the statement of the Herald is not true 'that conditions under locvl option are a hundred times worse than under the open s a l o o n / but proof also that they are 365 times better.

The advice received from sister workers is so varied that a few authoritative words on the subject may .not come'amiss. The >ules that govern the use of the single or\double thread on any given material are formulated on the general principle that the finer and more delicate the figure or the material, the finer should be the thread. Thus, on a sheer handkerchief linen or mull, or on a very small design on a heavier fabric, use a singie thread of fllo throughout. Otherwise, the [work will look rough and coarse. Sometime*; indeed, the thread is split for the shading in the centers to give a more delicate effect. This, however, in very rarely necessary. . It is a fairly safe rule for large figures or heavy materials to use two threads of fllo, at least for the outer edgea.

"You may sow alfalfa any time from May to August, and if you will do it right and follow the right you can grow alfalfa anywhere In the corn belt, and the crop is worth S&O an acre. I sow one bushel to five acres; that is" 12 pounds to the acre; I have never, had a complete s^aod at first. If I had ten per cent, of alfalfa on the ground; I would go on and make a stand of it. I disk all the bare places *in the field and wherever the stand does not satisfy me, setting disks almost straight. I never killed my alfalfa by disking it. I disk, resow and harrow these bare places.

The social circle in every town and village should include the farm, and the dwellers on the farm should meet with the town folk in social gatherings. Both-will profit by this mingling; they will become better acquainted, will better understand each other, and prejudice will give way to friendship.. What is^there to hinder? Roads, only roads.

They would enable the youth upon the farm to ha,ve the social privileges, the enjoyment and the wholesome recreation thelv natures demand, and are theirs by right, but which are denied them by bad roads.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Many persons have had oae. It may happen to anyone; It may afflict any part of the body. t Several little red spots, scaly and elevated above the surface, appear on the akin. They spread from each red spot as s center, clearing up in the middle as they go, until they form a series of red rings, surrounding a patch of white skin. In from three or tour days to two weeks after their flrat appearance the patches are from half an inch to an inch in diameter. The rings may then gradually disappear or may remain stationary, turning to a yellowish brown, or they may become inflamed and very painful. These spots may be on the face, neck, hands and forearms, on the palms of the hands or the soles of the feet Ringworm of the scalp causes the hair to fall put in circular patches. Kingworm of the face is popularly called barber's Itch. Ringworm, In any degree and on any part of the body, is due to a llttie fungus growing in the superficial layers of the skin. It is highly contagious. It may be taken by personal contact or by using toilet articles or clothes of infected persons. It is particularly common In schools and institutions such as orphan asylums, day nurseries and similar institutions where children come in close contact with each other. Barber shops, beauty parlors, hair-dressing establishments, laundries and public baths may spread this troublesome disease.. It may also be carried by dogs, cats, rabbits, Lorses and cows. Ringworm is a singularly stubborn affliction, aod although it usually disappears in from several days to a few weeks, under proper treatment, It Is very apt to return, either by a new Infection or by some of the fungi being left alive In the skin. It is, of course, more stubborn and more difficult to control on the scalp and face. Here the hair or beard must be cut short or shaved in order to expose the skin. The skin should be washed clean with hot water and green soap and one of s number of germicides upplied. Painting the patches with tincture of Iodine is excellent, if one doe* not mind the temporary disfigurement. For young children the Iodine should be diluted with an equal amount of alcohol. Sulphur, salicylic or benzoic scid ointment may be used. Your doctor will tell you which one to use and how strongthe ointment should be. • FARM • POULTRY DUCKS USUALLY ARE HARDIEST OF FOWLS How the United States Bureau of Standards tests the various brake linings used In different automobiles in order that the driver may have the best possible service from his brakes.

SLEEPING SICKNESS A N D A F T E R E F F E C T S sCatarrli Jse THE newspapers report a case of "sleeping sickness" In which the victim has been "asleep" for a week or more. The popular belief is that this is a definite disease. It Is not. There is a tropical disease, common In central Africa, popularly called "sleeping sickness," but this Is entirely different from the occasional case which occurs In this country. The canes seen here are really a form of meningitis following influenza, in which the most striking symptom Is unconsciousness. This condition generally starts with a chill followed hy fever, headache and sometimes vomiting. Drowsiness soon occurs, becoming deeper and deeper. During the earlier stages the patient can be aroused, but later on the sleep becomes so profound that the patient cannot be awakened. Delirium and convulsions may occur. The unconsciousness may become deeper and the patient may die without waking, or It may gradually disappear, the patient recovering, but generally with considerable paralysis or serious mental impairment. Doctor Duncan of London has recently published a report on the results of this condition In 136. cases. Thirty-five died, sixteen recovered but could not be traced after leaving the hospital. In the remaining eighty-three seme kind of mental Ira-, palrmeut was'found in seventy-nine. This varied from defective memory to Insanity. Extreme drowsiness was frequent, while others suffered from insomnia. In some cases the disposition was entirely changed. Paralysis of some muscles or spasmodic twitching was also found in seme cases. Some patient*, were depressedand melancholy. Some form of mental derangement was found in nineteen out of twenty patients who re- Ghlldren under ten years of age showed a greater tendency to mental impahnment than older persons. If the patient lives t year after the acute attack the chances of complete recovery are good. "flleoptag stckaess" Is simply as infection ef the breia hy mfluenxa gerae. Every, epidemic ef lafmenxa produces s certain number of cases. Avoid inffoentm and you'll sever have "sleepiBg sickness."

'By E R W I N G R E E R , P r e s i d e n t Qre«r College of A u t o m o t i v e E n g i n e e r i n g , C h i c a g o ) . You who read this little column of mine think that the fellow who writes It is a pretty wise bird. But did you ever wonder why I am able to write so wisely? Well, this particular article cost me over $55 but you get it for nothing. . *- Two months ago I bought a straight eight, guaranteed to turn up nearly 100 miles an hour. After breaking it 1¾ running around 25 miles an hour for 1,000 miles—as every good motorist does—I decided to take friend wife on a trip through the country. And when we came to a long stretch of macadam 1 sampled my bus to see what speed It really could turn up. Yes, the ear was as fast as the manufacturers claimed. The motorcycle cop who arrested me proved it to the judge. The judge—an old but experienced motorist—welcomed me with bpen arms, and his udvlce run thusly : "Your first duty Is to Impress upon the public the fact that you have a new car. Always drive It as fast as It will go. This gives people the Impression you could easily win a race. When turning a corner always do it on two wheels. Everyone loves to-be thrilled. Don't push the horn button until you are in the rnMst of a crowd. It is great Sport to see people knock each other down in their haste to keep from being run over. Besides, It makes you as welcome as a mn<' dog. "If you deslr ment, try beating a train to i .^ing. or run your car into a tr^e. This will bring you newspaper .leadlines and It is quite possible that some movie company will offer you a big salary for becoming a stunt man. Always vary your antics. To keep people guessing is the spice of life. "Fifty dollars and costs! Now get out of here. If I ever catch you speeding again in this county I'll send you up for life!" And my poor wife drove poor trembling me home with remarks that would shrivel a sheet of steel. "Now I don't get that new hat 1 wanted. You an automotive expert, bah! You ought to be engineer of a peanut stand. If you ever speed again I'll tell every automobile editor in the country. and then your reputation won't be worth a wooden nickel. Hereafter, you drive to the office via the elevated." And so, reader, you see by the foregoing that even I—who you think knows all about automobiles—am only a human being after all. Did I tell that Judge my right name? I did not! I'd have been given ten- years if he knew who I was. Be satisfied to ride slowly, using ail possible forethought and consideration. Dost speed when yon come to a straight stretch. You might meet the same Judge that I did—and hear him "Fifty dollars and costs r MiMMIIMMMIIMIMlM \ Motor Car Is Fine Piece of Machinery "One trouble with the average motor car owner," says the manager of an automobile service company, "is that be falls to realize that the automobile is a piece of very tine machinery, and that It will render service In proportion to the attention it receives. It is not human, and will not cry out when abused. "When it becomes necessary, through accident, neglect, abuse, or other cause to make a^hange, one should seek the advice and services of the dealer from whom he has bought the car. This dealer has the Interest of the car at heart more than any other person In the trade. But If distance makes the dealer unavailable, It Is cheaper In the end to employ Jhe best mechanic." • » » • • • » » • « • • # ! • • • • • • » • + » » • • Cover for Radiator Is Handy in Cold Weather The' Scientific American in illustrating and descrlhlnj; n radiator cover, the invention of F. M. Cockrell and J. M. Hock well of Liberty, Mo., says : This Invention relates to a protective cover for radiators of automobiles, whereby to conserve the heat thereof in cold weather und to aid in Ducks as a rule are hardy. They do not have gapes. The weakest part of a duck is its legs. Indigestion is apt to show Itself in the young, if coarse sand is omitted in the food. It Is always best to put a handful of sand in a paii of mash food, mixing it thoroughly. This will aid digestion. The oily nature of the feathers makes the ducklings vermin proof. Exposure to hot suna is fatal. There should always be a partial shade to the runs. The market term "^reen duck" is of late Innovation. The cognomen Is applied for the reason that the bird has not yet matured. It should weigh not less than four pounds, and be not over ten weeks old—eight weeks would be better—und should never be allowed bathing water. As mi article of diet, if provided by a competent chef, the green duck resembles the famous and fast disappearing cunvashack duck. The Hunner duck is not inclined to fatten so readily as other varieties. Its name originated from the fact that this duck has a running rather than a waddling motion. In color it is a light brown or fawn shade and gray. At the joining of the bead and bill there is a narrow band of white. -The legs are orange. In carriage It Is erect, with a long, narrow body, well elevated In front, and closely feathered. The neck is long and slender, and the head rather flat. The bill Is long and broad. Duck eggs are in demand by confectioners, as they imptrrt a glaze to. their Icing, which cannot be had with hen eggs. For making plum puddings, duck eggss are more economical than those of fowls, being both larger in size and richer. In the household duck eggs are used In making all kinds of cakes, omelette, cooking generally, and they are also relished fried.

The production of eggs is the end of the poultry business In which the most profit can be made, so that a heavy egg producing type la best suited to ordinary farm conditions. Generally speaking, the pullet year Is the most profitable period of a hen's life. It Is advisable, therefore, either to mark the chicks when hatched, using a different mark for each year, or to band the pullets when they are put Into winter quarters, so that at culling time the age of the different birds can he seen at a glance and only those that are required for breeding purposes retained ufter the first year's production. The trup-nest Is the most reliable means to use in culling the flock, hut the ordinary fanner does not use trapnests, so that reliance must be placed on physical characteristics. The hl*h producer will he of an active disposition, early off the roost In the morning and lute to go on at night and always busy. Her head will be clear cut, face smooth and free from wrinkles, with bright, prominent eyes; skin soft, pliable and of fine texture; and a general appearance of health and vigor.

The home management meeting held in the Court Mouse, Howell, Tuesday afternoon Was a decided success, in fact there has possibly never been ;. group of women gathered who represented their respective townships so well and voted unanimously to carry on the work started by County Agent Bohrnder.

The program of Household management Inch will be their first undertaking has many interesting phases of work, and the work will be started in the townships which had representation at the meeting Tuesday.

T h a t is a questioi for every person in the community t< 1 consider—for t h e town cannot be improved without the cooperation of every citizen. Pinckney has quite a reputation foi quiet, rural beauty, with its wide. shaded streets and prosperous, clean looking homes. B u t there are inw;it\ places that a r e a veritable "eyesore" to the public. One is the village park Wouldn't it he better to have ir mo--, ed in the summer and t h e bench replaced about upon it again f v ; n though nothing more elaborate was | accomplished:- A tourist driving thru Pinckney will first notice the apparent earlessness with which the park is kept. Opposite the d r u g store a r e the ruins of the hotel and certain buildings thnt were destroyed by fire a few yen,ft ago. T h e weeds and the large si-rn partially cover them but still they detract fmui t h e beauty of Pinckr.rv. On almost every road leading from Pinckney there a r e dump piles. Why m«t have a common place for disposal of rubbish where it could be b u r n e d ? Kvery person, especially tbe property owners, should-take an Interest in the government of Pinckney. Comi>etent officers should be chosen and everyone should help t o elect them. 4)o not complain it you did n o t vote. O U T council has already done many things which a r e improvements t o Pinckney. Another improvement would be tl»e paving of Main Street and the grav <\- ing of the side streets. IQ the summer when M49 is covered with antos from morning till night the dust is unbearable. The minor streets often become the two weary girls were helped to so mnddy that it is impossible to drive thedreasbag reoms Bit theyv heJon them. made the greatest fight staee «C**- It would be a benefit to Pinckney tion witli tiie larger towns und the cities. If t h e b u s service from Howell to J a c k s o n is discontinued Pinckney will ha*e b u t t w o trains. O u r mail service will be very uncertain. Pinckney should have a place for entertainment a n d recreation. Of course, there is t h e o p e r a house but colds a r e often pnevulent after an e n t e r t a i n m e n t In that edifice and in addition the scenery is sadly in need of repuir. Community p r o g r a m s that everyone could take p a r t in a n d enjoy should be given. Community sings and educational p r o g r a m s would be beneficial in lifting t h e moral tone of Pinckney. A publie library and reading room, containing books und magazines of a good quality would serve also in this manner. There being no gymnasium in our chool, no sports except football and baseball can be enjoyed. T h r u sports the qualities of character a r e developed— self-control, courage, endurance and loyalty. O u r schawl buiming is already overcrowded. If fire should break out, as I t might easily do in such an old building, the result would probably be disastrous. So f a r the sake of the children, tire drill should be instituted. Although possibly many other things might be done, if these were accomplished, I am sure Pinckney would b e a much more desirable place to live in. . o- -——-—- Several persons have been victimized in this city by a person representing several members of the Michigan foot ball squad a n d his scheme has been to solicit funds from different ones stating that he is t r y i n g to get through college and not having enough money t o finish is financially embarrassed, and in this way he obtained loans.

He looks the purl. He Is also supposed to be particularly glad that be Is ullve In 1025, for the reason that history Is In the miikin« these days and the new year la likely to see considerable that Is new. And of course, this good American likes to se*> new things. That's human nature. "There Is nothing new under the sun." according to the old saw. Bui the saying Is very old and the man who suld It lived a lonj; while ngn Doubtless he was a smart man—so smart that If he were reincarnated he'd hunt up an alibi the very first thlnn- For nowadays the day Is pretty much wasted that does not produce some thing new. And. as fust as the new things boh up, the newspapers prim it on the first p*P* «nd *'e al1 know about It almost before It happens. Let a German alchemist nt 10 p. m. discover a way to make gold and the man In San Francisco rends the headlines the next morning—and skips the text because he beard all about It the night before on the radio. ONR new thing that we are sure to have Is a new President. He's the same Calvin Coolldge, to be sure. who's been occupying the White Rouse, but now he Is going to be Pres Ident in his own right. He say's he's not going to rock the boat because of that—which Is a pretty good joke In its own dry way—but there's likely to be a difference. Just the same. Tt wouldn't surprise everybody If 1025 saw something new In politics. And of course there will be millions npon millions of new "good resoluttons**— every American worth his salt makes them. Incidentally, the good American who Is looking shout for one worth while can do much worse than turn back to President Coolldge's Thanksgiving proclamation, ne mpnttoaed some of the many, many ren sons why Americans should be thankful- and concluded with this auggestfee— quite ss timely at New Tear's: 1ft afcaJl da well to accept all th«a* faVOtS 6*4 feOWUies with a becoming fcVsrttlTT a*4 aedlcaU them to the •gretae of the rUrhteon* cause of the efvse ef «11 good sad perfect gifts.

VARIL'M et mutablle semper fem- Ina—"Woman is a variable aud changeable thing always—" wrote a fumous Roman author many centuries ago. Wrote Shakespeare: "Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale her Infinite variety." if they could return to earth would they claim to be prophets foretelling women as governors of two Sovereign Stutes of the l.'nlted States of America in the yeur lirjf. A. I).? Anyway, that's what the New Year will set5—Her Excellency, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, governor of Wyoming and Her Kxcellency, Mrs Miriam Amanda Ferguson (Mrs. James K. Ferguson), governor cf Texas. And this something plumb new in our history. While the results were the same In both states, the circumstances of nom ination and election were interestingly different. Mrs. Ross is tlie widow of the late Gov, William B. Ross who died In October. She was not a candidate, was nominated by the Democratic state convention and was elected easily in a state normally Republican. Mrs. Ferguson Is the wife of former Governor Ferguson, who was im peached and resigned from the governorship. She made the race to vindicate her husband and had to win two primary elections of the Democratic party as well as the election Itself. Philosophers will doubtless say that these two elections are old stuff instead of new. The Wyoming voters provided for a widow who had lost her husband In the service of the state. The Texas voters elected a loyal wife who was fighting for the good name of her husband and the father of her children. Take your choice! N1 £«*• .v.v- 1NETEEN TWENTY-FIVE will see one new thing which the "showme" fellows will have hard work In proving old stuff. That's a national outdoor recreation policy, with the executive branch of the federal govern ment, the "National Park Army" of r>.000,000 members of 128 affiliated organizations and the American people working in harmony and co-operation. The government Is represented by the President's committee, which consists of the secretaries of Interior, agricul ture, war, commerce and labor and Theodore Roosevelt. The "Army" and the people are represented by a general council of 100. whkt in tnrn Is represented between meetings hy an executive council of 11. The President's committee will formulate an administration policy concerning the recreational and conservatlonal use of the public lands, harmonise the-differences of the several executive depart meats and assure federal co-operation I deavor In the development of self. slon of the 20 units of the national park system and for the maintenance of the standard In parks to be created. Its general declaration of this policy Is this: Resolved, That outdoor recreation furnishes opportunity to gain abounding" health, strength, wholesome enjoyment, understanding and love of nature, good fellowship and keen sportsmanship aril, above all, has a direct beneficial influence on the formation of sturdy character by developing tho&e qualities of self-control, endurance under hardship, reliance on self and co-operation with others In team work which are ao necessary to good citizenship. ARE you making haste to get rid at any old price of the stocks and bonds and miscellaneous securities in your strong box? No? Well, lots of people are saying* that Dr. Adolf Mletfie of Berlin will get you If don't watch out. Anyway, the German scientist is proclaiming from the housetops that he has found out how to change quicksilver Into gold. And It's just as easy as falling off a log. You see, the only difference between an atom of mercury and nn atom of gold is that the former has 80 electrons and the latter 70. So he Just turns on an electric current, "cracks" the mercury atom and knocks off that superfluous electron. Result: an atom of pure gold! Gold Is money and the basis of credits because of its scarcity. If you und 1 can buy mercury, hitch on to an electric current and make us a stack of double eagles—why, gold is worth Just exactly what It Is worth as a metal In the Industries und the arts. And the world will have to go back to beaver skins or woodpeckers' sculps or something of the kind for a medium of exchange. However, there's one thing about tills modern alchemy that still stands between us and the poorhouse. Doctor Miethe estimates that it will cost more than $'2.(XXX000 to make a pound of gold by disintegrating quicksilver. And a pound of gold—a whole pound of 16 ounces—Is worth for money purposes almost exactly $330.40. THERE'S an old saw that says, "The only way to judge tbe future is by the past." Experience has shown that this Is about as good a way as any, even If not the only way. The immediate past has certainly made history rapidly. So 102,1¾ Is quite likely to do Its share. Will alt the new things be unmixed blessings? They will not There's the psychologist, for example, who will be busy In 1925 preaching that man Is nothing more than a composite of instincts and emotions and his actions the purely mechanistic result of muscular and nervous reactions. This doctrine throws oat all ethical conceptions of life, abolishes moral responsibility and blocks self-development. It therefore endangers man as an individual and society as a collection of individuals. So this doctrine of the psychologist is plainly no -doctrine for the good American.

Westers N«w«pap«r Unto*.) The Fort That Wat Built Indian Slave* Among the interesting sights in St. Augustine, Fla. (the oldest town in the United States) is a tablet over the entrance to Fort Marion, bearing the coat of arms of Spain and the following legend: "Don Ferdinand the Sixth, Being King of Spain and the Field Marshal, Don Alonzo Fernando Hereda, Being Governor and Captain General of This Place, St. Augustine, of Florfv da. and Its Province, This Fort,Wa». Finished in the Year 1756. The Work* Were Directed hy the Captain Engineer, Don Pedro De Brazos Y Garay/* But this ancient inscription does net tell the full story of the forts in St Augustine. From the day in 1565 when Pedro Menendez erected there the first rude fortification to hold Florida against the French, there have been a series of fortresses here. And they have been connected with some stirring scenes in Florida colonial history —with the massacre of Jean Rlbaut's Huguenots by Menendex, with De Gourges' terrible revenge and ,-wit* other Incidents which gaVe titf* *Taa4 of flowers" a baptism e***#if4. - The first fort erected online present site of Fort Marlon was an octagonal wooden structure named San Juan de Plnos, built as early as 1586. It was this fort which Sir Francis Drake, the famous British navigator, eaptured without resistance during a flying raid on the "Spanish Main" In that year. A little later a more pretentious structure of stone was begun and it was named Fort St. Mark. In 1638 the Spaniards were at war with the Apalachian Indians* who lived near the Suwanee river, and, having defeated them, forced their captives to work on the fortifications for more than 60 years. When Gen. James Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia, laid siege to St. Augustine in 1740, Monteano, the Spanish commandant, had a large force of convicts from Mexico at work on the fort and by this time It was*o strong that Oglethorpe gave up the attempt t£ capture the town. At the close of the French and Indian war Spain, France's ally, was forced to cede Florida to the British. In 1748 It was given back to Spain, who held it until 1819, when the United States purchased It for $5,000,000. On July 10, 1821, the Spanish flag, which had floated over St. Augustine for more than two centuries and s half, was lowered and the Stars and Stripes went up over Fort St. Mark. Some time later it was renamed Fort Marion In honor of Frnncis Marlon, the famous "Swamp Fox" of the Rerolutlon, and as Fort Marlon the ancient fortress remains to this day. *.:£- * i - j compelled to pay taxes in both towns nurse. «tr >A*.Y ; •?•?/}. **. -S* * • • * » • • Taosokt Calf Would Do * tewa #rt Irweaed emrried s weHJj LsealijsMi irsT asked by ear If glfet *ewi# Use to »**• • JMMMsw 4*Mp>.ts»». * • •*«•*•£ ^ ^ ^ • * ^ S S M ^ w SHSssSsHk sny oilier cow that had ever lived.

Fancy baa had full away In many of the lovely things from the best-known ateliers. Gowns of the finest, softest fabrics, deep piled woolens and velvets of lux urioos silky feeling, all are heli>ed to the additional suggestion of warmth with fur—fur about the neck, fur bordering the bottom of skirts, fur cuffs in which hands are sheltered, and fur in bands that add lines of grace from throat to hem. The evidence of fur on gowns, wraps and millinery is almost universal. Almost no coat, evening wrap, street or sports suit Is seen without some fur, and those garments in which It Is omitted seem to lacs> interest and modlshness. The makers.' of bonnets, of occasional garments and of accessories have followed the lead of the j costume designers, and so there Is fur | on almost everything that Is offered for women's wear.

E SHALL have go farther & cm::-'-*. to back than the Christian era to find the source of Christmas celebration, for we borrowed It from the nations existing long before 4fbe coming of the Christ Child. Christmas came from early Egyptian Crfillwtion, from the Teutonic barbarianSV or the pagan Greek and Roman nation*—-or perhaps from all of them. Botrin the days of the early Chrtsttana Christmas ceased to be observed merely a s a day of merrymaking and feasting. They celebrated It a s a day of gQjOd will and kindliness, the bestowing of gifts, and a time of peace, but they considered it a holy festival and too filled with solemnity and sacred joy to be made a time of hilarity and boisterous jollity. That the very date Is uncertain m a k e * little real difference. In those the sun was supposed to begin to recede from the equator. They celebrated the 21st of December by all manner of licentious revels and heathen debauchery, and even after the coming of Christianity It was centuries before these pagan customs and practices were eliminated. And It was not until after the Middle ages that the meaning and the significance of the season began to dawn upon the minds and hearts of men. In old England Christmas became a time of feasting, drinking and hilarious merrymaking—not a very advanced conception, but a step beyond the pagan Jdea. Later the spirit of Puritanism began to Influence English customs and public zeal ran so high that all goyety nnd all festivity came to be considered sinful.

For twelve years no special days were observed In England, and when they were once more taken back Into favor the result was what might have been expected, for the Christ urns season became a time of feasting, drinking, dancing and wild revel, lasting for twelve days and nights. The lord of misrule came into existence—this was the chosen master of festivities. Into whose hands the keys of the house were given and whose word was law while the revel lasted. The days and nights were full of "all manner of hilarity, and a most wild and merrie time was had," we are told. At first -«nly the royal households had these lords of misrule, but the custom spread nntil almost every housebold had Its ruler of the season's revels.

The Song of Christmas By £ JAMES WHITCOm RILEJ CHANT me a rhyme of Christmas— And though it la filled with laughter, let it be pure and strong. Sing- of the hearts brimmed over with the story of the day— Of the echo of childish voices that wllJ not die away. Of the blare of the tasseled bugle, and of the timeless clatter and beat Of the drum that throbs to mustei squadrons of scampering feet But. O, let your voice fall fainter, till blent with a minor tone. You temper your song with the be&utj of the pity Christ has shown. And sing one verse for the volcelesi, and yet ere the song be done, A verse for the ears that hear not, and a verse for the sightless one. For though It be time for singing • merry Christmas glee, Let a low, sweet voice of pathos run through the melody. The afternoon tea, whether It la a real function or Just a pleasant gettingtogether of three or four, is not complete unless the sandwich plate is well tilled. Butter should be c r e a m e d a n d spread very evenly making a thin coating over the entire slice, which 1« cut very thin, and then may be cut into various shapes as one's taste dictates. The crusts which are trimmed from the bread in making sandwiches may be tossed into a little melted butter and served with the soup for dinner or luncheon. If not served as croutons, roll and use as crumbs for a thousand dishes. Tuna Sandwiches.—Mince fine onehatf cupful of tuna# fish, add one-half I teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce j two tablespoonfuis of tomato catchup and enough mayonnaise to moisten j about two tablespoonfuls. Mix to s paste and spread on thin buttered whole wheat bread. Cover, press and cut into triangles or strips.

Lanvin uses the pony skin and other flat furs. I'atou'has a tlair for frocks and coats of soft velvets, tin.) prefers for their triming the superlatively fine furs, especially the foxes in blues and grays. Paul Caret is content to add large bands or squares of fur on a wrap fashioned of handsome wool or silk, and Doetilllet. whose newest models are severely straight in line, cuts liis fur in hands which outline a coat all about the edge and at the wrists. Cheruit, loving the sweep of soft material and the introduction of <i scarf, when it is possible, ornaments a gown and coat of full sweeping width with blue fox placed several Inches above the hern, and carried In clinging softness around the neck, down the front and .all about the bottom.

That which we call a gulf stream by another name will smell as sweet to suigratory herring and sardine and, happily, one can still paraphrase "Jtomeo and Juliet" regardless of Whether Bacon or Shakespeare wrote tt.

Thrifty Wife Sells Shorn Shortly after a traveling man returned from a long road trip he went fo his closet to get out his light summer suit and white shoes. He could find but one shoe.

Legend of the Wagtail Here Is a pretty rortuguese legend of the wagtail: "When the Virgin fled into Egypt with the Infant Purist, u wagtail followed, obliterating the frail by brushing away with its tall the donkey's footprints. Our Lady therefore blessed it, giving it the I>ower to kill the fcgwk by attacking it under the wing." World Enriched by Gamut in Poverty Art? What have *idle riches" done for that? By rights they should have produced, they should have created, hut m far as output goes thei!*"eontriimtlon has been disappointing. One often hears the suggestion made that young people of artistic promise should he "endowed" .to create. "If only he had a little more money, and leisure—what great things he would do:" Would he? I believe, sordid as it may seem, that the wolf at the door has often been one of the most powerful incentives toward artistic creation. Of course there are volcanic gifts like those of Shelley or Blake that erupt spontaneously and irresistibly, regardless of the consequences. But many of the greatest artists have been goaded on to creation by need. Shakespeare, Chatterton, and (coming a long way after these) Walter Scott, Doctor Johnson, Anthony Trollope. On the whole, great artiste have been not only hard workers, but men who have had to work hard.—Violet Bonhatn-Carter In C!ood Housekeeping.

SCRAP SCRAPPING WIVES 0krly United States Official Given Honor ^ i t h e 1»22 series of $10 gold certin- "44** bears the likeness of Michael Oil ^HtPftfl, the first treasurer of the United States. The germ of the Treasury department w a s planted on July 29, 1775, when the Continental congress appointed two treasurers. The appointments were Hillegas and George Clymer. The latter sooajresigned to accept his seat " a s delegate to the congress. Hillegas discharged the duties ot treasurer until September 1, 1789. r The Treasury department was organised under an act of September 2, ;\ J789. Strictly speaking, It was reor- • - 'Jptnlzed, for the department, under -' parlous names, had been In existence glnce 1775. The Constitution went In- -gr> effect March 4, J78&, Washington w a s Inaugurated as the first President Of the United States April 30, 178». It »•111 thus be seen that Hlllegas wag treasurer many months after the in •uguratlon of Washington, and for Sine days after the Treasury department was organised under the Constitution.

Mystery of Sound Board The sound board of a piano, although it is actually u thin sheet of iir wood, is a wonder not fully understood in Its effects. Most people know that every note has a complete and very elaborate set of vibrations which give it its pitch and character, and all the^e separate sets are reproduced in the sound board quite Independently. Evm in comparatively simple music there are frequently thousands of vibrations ffoing on In that piece of thin brittle wood, which we can hear but cannot s e e ; and with all the crossing and recrossing of the vibration lines which must take place there is never any confusion, and it is possible to select any group of vibrations :is the one to which we can pay the most attention. Perhaps even Ptlil more wonderful is the fact that the piano maker can m;tke the board susceptible to different kinds of vihration without knowing how he does it. ; * \ i Our Entire Men's A £* o> Friend—What do sci.

principal lines of combat State police, deputy sheriffs and strikers were here off and on all day from Wednesday until Saturday night when the word of calling off the strike came la order to get this matter straight, it is necessary to go back a few years Most of the milk in this area goes to the Detroit mar ket and the milk and dairy bams have to be approved by the Detroit Board of Health Some years ago an organization called the Michigan Milk Producers Association was organized to act as a bargaining agent between the farmers and Detroit creameries An elaborate and com plicated system was worked out, known as the base and surplus plan A price for milk per cwt was set and the farmers were allowed to establish bases AU milk they sent in over their base amount they received a lower price for No 1 milk is bottled milk No 2 milk is manufactured milk such as cottage cheese, powdered milk, ice cream, etc Also out of the price given them for milk is deducted hauling charges, dues to the Michigan Milk Producers Association, etc, so that the farmer has never received half the purchase price for milk This has caused dissatisfaction with the association, and rival organizations have

Lorenzo Murphy, Twp IStory From a Diplomat One Day Before a War Correspondent Presents HisWashington Diary Telling of Last Interview With Peace Envoy Before Wars Beginning By BAUKHAGE aiional Farm and Home Hour Commentator, WNU Service, 1243 H Street, NW, Washington, D C Here in Washington where we feel the repercussions of the war more deeply than anywhere in the coun try except coast cities where enemy planes threaten, and even the thoughts we had last week seem very far away To me an evengreater gulf seems to exist between Friday and Satur day, between peacetime and wartime On Saturday, December 5, I sat in the drawing room of the Japanese embassy talking with the em bassys first secretary His card which he gave me as I left it on the desk as I write Hidenari Terasaki, first secretary of the Japa nese embassy, Washington, the engraved script reads With us was Saburo Kurusu, the man who was supposed to be planning a peaceful settlement of Japa neseAmerican relations at the very moment when Japanese bombers and battleships were already on their way to Pearl Harbor I did not know it then, but I was the last American reporter perhaps the only oneto interview him Washington Diary The next afternoon just as I was starting out to take a walk in Rock Creek park, the news of the astounding attack on Hawaii reached me From then on radio and news reporters have been pretty busy But I took time out to jot down the events of Saturday that were a trag ically stupid prelude to war I am now offering this record in part as a sort of Washington Diary Saturday, December 6 Spent the whole day preparing for a special Far Eastern broadcast, a pickup of Far Eastern capitals, London and Washington Went first to call on X whom I knew would be informed as well as anyone on the negotiations We sat in his beautiful library The ancient books, the mellow leathered chairs all gave the place an atmosphere of dignity and solidarity that seemed far away from the little Saturday afternoon world Mr X suggested two phrases of which I made mental note First Kurusu is still here The second The center of gravity has shifted from the state department to the navy department Since Kurusu was still here it was explained, the situation had not changed But the next move was decidedly Japans the state department had probably said its last word Mr X was of the opinion that it was still possible that some facesaving method would be worked out to permit the military element to accede to our demands and thus keep Japan from committing suicide His impression was that noth ing would happen before Tuesday when he thought Kurusu would hand Secretary Hull Japans answer to the state departments note Next StopThe Embassy As I was leaving, a memorandum was handed in saying that Kurusu would receive me at the Japanese embassy immediately I had been trying very hard to get that appointment and after two days negotiating, my assistant had finally succeeded I was first shown through the busy chancery of the Japanese embassy to the office of First Secretary Terasaki, a smiling little brown man with eyes that came as near to slanting as any orientals do He warned me that I could not quote Mr Kurusu nor was I to mention my visit at all for a week or so as others would demand interviews I Terasaki said he would give me Some background When we were settled he told me a sort of parable He said Suppose a man has been fighting for four days and four nights in the street Another man who has been sitting in his comfortable chair every evening wants to do some thing Should man in arm chair come to fighting man and talk about principles, about Confucius and Aristotle He paused a moment and stared t me steadily with brown eyes that looked as solid as bullets No, I think, he went on, man in armchair should approach man who is fighting with tact and sym pathy He paused again to see how I was taking it I dropped my eyes to the notes I was making and he seemed satisfied He concluded Japan has been fighting four years Must talk facts, must be realistic and talk principles afterward Chinese Duplicity Argument There was more of the oftenheard argument about Chinese duplicity If United States wants war, it can have war If it wants peace, can have peace And Japan can be much mesre than a friend to America You can beat us in the end but it will be no pushover He was friendliness itself Having spoken his piece he made a telephone call and led me from the chancery into the embassy which it adjoins I was impressed as I was the first time I walked down the long reception hall, with the delicate beauty of the setting The priceless paintings on the walls with their weird and elusive charm of oriental art, the graceful furniture, the gentle blending of tints in wall decorations and wainscoting This room is too large for conversation, said Mr Terasaki, indicating the main reception room So he took me to a smaller one and we sat down for a moment Almost immediately Goodwill Ambassador Kurusu appeared, a little man dressed in an expensive tweed suit He had a small, closecropped mus tache and wore spectacles His face was long and under a hurried glance he might pass as an American Terasaki bowed low from the hips, but Curusu took my hand in formally when I was presented j Terasaki opened the conversation by saying that I had said as long as Kurusu was still here no news was good news Kurusu either mis understood Terasaki or chose to ig nore his remark We sat down and Kurusu repeated in less formal i phraseology the general argument which Terasaki had offered Kurusu Presents Japans Case The two nations could agree on principles with lengthy and leisurely discussionbut now an emergency existed Japan was in a position where she was forced to take cer tain steps for her survival The United States would have to agree to the discussion of realistic issues first and leave the principles to later discussion Unless that happened no progress could be made Of course we are hopeful, he said, rather hopelessly, I thought On the whole his attitude seemed to confirm what Mr X had said, that JapaneseAmerican relations were in status quothat Japan was playing for time When I left I made a remark to the effect that I was glad to see Ambassador Kurusu had provided himself with a heavy suit, that evidently he was prepared to stay all winter At that remark he saw fit to laugh heartily As I went out through the chan eery, escorted by one of the idolfaced clerks, I asked if they were always as busy as that on a Saturday afternoon Oh, no, he answered, only these days That concludes my diary for December 6 As I read it over in the light of what happened within less than 24 hours after I rode away from the Japanese embassy in a cab which had just brought one of the staff to the door with luggage and golf bags, some of the words spoken there took on a new meaning I had a closeup of one phase of what is probably the worlds great est achievement in diplomatic duplicity Mr Kurusu, I believe, has not been available for interviews since In Jones county, Mississippi, 60 farmers needed workstock They pitched in together, bought 60 mules in one lot at a nice price To save a little more money the farmers, all of them borrowers from the department of agriculture, went one step farther, put in a cooperative J order for plow gear Their county purchasing association, sponsored by the Farm Security administration, bought 60 complete sets of harness from a local dealer, assem bled them at the mule barn Savings on this deal ran into 125 The mule dealer fitted the gear on the animals at no extra cost, assured perfect harness fittings , jyfmiAm JOT unto us a rljtU tfi bant, unto us a son s grow And to,

salutes the quarter deck of a ship, as the sym bol of the state Dear World Of course, Im disgusted Youd feel this way too if folks said you were too dumb to enjoy Christmas They say that we babies less than a year old dont need presents be cause we cant appreciate them anyway The idea A lot of other babies are also complaining about this attitude Why, we can talk better English than most grownups Dud iddy biddy baby want pretty rattlewattle Daddikens will pick it up from the floorsieworsie for 00 Phoey If I couldnt talk better than this Id keep still And then they have the audacity to assume that babies under one year are too young to enjoy Christmas Last month we conducted a poll among babies 12 months of age or younger, asking them if they con sidered themselves capable of enjoying Christmas Exactly 987 of the 1,000 babies questioned replied emphatically in the affirmative The 13 who voted no are going to be a year old before Christmas and felt they would have a better chance of getting presents from relatives if their younger cousins were left out But thats a purely selfish motive and doesnt affect the unanimity of the poll Now that you have had indisputable proof that babies enjoy Christmas, dont rush out to buy us an electric train or bicycle After all, we act our age even though we know better There are several points you should keep in mind while looking through the toy department We want toys that will attract our attention, and they must be cleaned easily We babies have a bad habit of putting things in our mouths, so if the toy is too small, we might swallow it Dont worry, though Well get over the habit Colored bakelite disks on a chain make one of the nicest and least expensive gifts for babies We can have a lot of fun playing with those white, yellow, red and green disks And theyre real easy to keep clean, too Other children want only toys they can play with, but we babies can appreciate the more practical gifts such as cribs, playpens and jumperswings They are virtual necessities to us and make our lives much more pleasant Clothing also makes excellent gifts A few of the many articles we would be glad io receive include shirts, night gowns, dresses, rompers, shoes, stockings and bonnets Une of the most practical and welcome gifts for any baby would be an automobile seat These can be attached to the seat of any automobile and permit babies to see out, but prevent them from falling out Babies must be able to sit up before using them, but all babies learn to sit up before they are very old And we enjoy looking out of the window of the car as much as you do Its no fun just looking at the inside of the car when were going some place How would you like it Another practical gift would be a lifeinsurance policy that will mature in about 18 years and provide funds for a college education Or, savings account can be opened in babys name for as little as 1but you dont have to make it that small We babies cant get Christmas presents for our parents and other grownups, but we certainly would if we could Just wait a couple of years and see if we dont Signed, Disgusted Youth Her Poise Awes Timid Speakers MY

legislature to adjourn kept this bill from going ino effect Also the Consumers League in Detrtoit circulated petitions to place the measure on the ballot at the next election, which would also prevent the law from going into effect The Michigan Milk Producers Association, spurred on by this activity, announced that thoy would call a milk strike this month unless the price of milk in the Detroit area increased to 300 per cwt The price then was about 269 The United Dairy Farmers also announced a strike to be called about a week ahead of the Michi gan Milk Producer strike and in addition they demanded the aboli tion of the base ard suiplus method of buying, the brain child of tho Michigan Milk Producers The latter organization latrr called off tJeir strike ard a reed to submit it to a

tasks i The Detroit EdisonCompany represented on thu board, refused to recognize it and went ahead with their plans The strike was called last Wednesday but did not get underway until Thursday, at which time the Detroit milk supply was cut to about i per cent, according 0 leports About 170,00 pounds of milk was eized by strikers and dumped on the ground In some place piaiied battles took place Four state troopers were injured at 1 Richmond when women strikers , threw pepper into their eyes In a, about 4 strikers were arrested but invariably released on bail of 25 oi ou winch they put up The deputy sheriffs and state police endeavored to give protection to the creameries but they were tuo lew in number to cover all the routes and devoted most of their tune to convoying milk tank trucks This left the pickup trucks without protection and these were the ones who suffered most of the damage Wednesday, a carload of farmers followed Hoy Brown, a Twin Pines driver from Northville, to the Bert Nelson farm on Five Mile road and taunted him He refused to take his load in toN Northville and a farmer, DeForest Thompson, took it over and, escorted by eight Wash tenaw county deputies, reached Northville Three of the farmers, Byro i Driver, G3, Arnold Cogger, 25, and Marion I ee, 38, did not have identification licenses for their cars and wcre taken to Ann Arbor where they were

camp, from Stockbridge, escorted by two cars of state police, two cars of Washtenaw deputies and Sheriff Kennedy and 3 deputies That night someone entered the milk house Of Mike Roche at Anderson, who is not a UDF member and dumped his milk The milking machine of Clifford Howlett, of near Gregory, was dismantled and some of the parts carried away Milk trucks were dumped in various parts of the state and acts of violence were reported A Twin Pines truck was unloaded near Gregory Thursday and tho driver, Harry McDonald, of Northville, who was sent out to drive it in, was shaken up However, state police and deities arrived and rescued McDonald and his load before it was dumped Saturday morning a pickup truck driven by Gene Dinkel of Pincknev and carrying milk to the Wayne ere ,i0ry at Stockbridge was seized by strikers and its entire load dumped The following farmers were arrested for dumping and taken to Howell and released on 25 bail Howard Trapp, Stockbridge Law l re nee Riggs,, Ben Brcoks, James Rouse of Gregory and Byron Driver 1 of Green Oak and the custc ner on his route did not have their milk picked up Sunday or Monday August Mussiloff another Twin Pines truck operator near Stockbridge is said to have been involved in a milk dumping incident near South Lyon and since then the Twin Pines Co has refus ed to accept any milk from him So none of his customers have had

Rouge on Thursday but did on Friday and had no trouble at all The UDF announced Friday that nine Detroit creameries had agreed to abandon the base and surplus plan and pay 3 straight for nilk The Michigan Milk Producers denied this and said only one had We know, however, that the Johnson Creamery of Detroit sent notices to all their customers Friday stating that they would pay 3 straight for milk Saturday the UDF called off the strike and anounced that they had joined the 10 and that Glenn Marlett, CIO represtentatTve of Michigan would be their spokesman and representative About this time the arbitration board of Gov Van Wagoner announced that they had voted 7 to 2 to give the farmers 300 per iwt for their milk, and 50 cents more for surplus milk, retaining the base and surplus plan, however This probably means that the price of milk will be raised from 13c to 14c in Detroit t0 meet this increase Most of the strikers were known to the deputies and state police here and in this section seemed to be on friendly terms Friday we noticed a group of strikers gathered around a state police car listening to the radio as it broadcast the strike activates in different points around Detroit The reports that the strike was settled seems to have been prema ture as we are informed that a gTeat number of strikers are refus ing to send milk to the creameries until the base and surplus

Workers Joy of Learning Seems to Be Adequate Pay for Their Efforts NEW ORLEANSThe better nature of a white rat has been disclosed It will work for nothing Dr S Rains Wallace of Tulane university revealed that not only is the profit motive of secondary concern to a rat, but it will learn quickly if not rewarded, has a good memory and probably enjoys continuous labor It appeared, however, that a rat has little use except in chasing through mtzes a wholly noncommercial endeavorand outside of that is just a rat Most previous experiments have been based on the assumption that an animal learns much faster when he is rewarded for his success, said Dr Wallace, who has been putting rats in mazes for three years Rats Enjoy Learning He, found that the pure joy of learning itself tended to furnish ample compensation The rat also probably finds added reward in long periods of running instead of pausing now and then to rest Such an idea, Dr Wallace said, has not been seriously regarded before Removal from the mae is considered as a form of punishment by the rat and he tends to slow down a bit and make mistakes when he realizes he is about to be forced to knock off work awhile Dr Wallace plans to make more investigations along this line If not rewarded at the start of experiments, rats may learn more quickly This, Dr Wallace said, may be because the reward makes the rat too emotional to concentrate The ability of rats to remember the intricate maze was considered remarkable Many rats kept out of the maze for three months made only one error when they were returned Practically, it was possible to make seven errors Dr Wallace thought this retention of memory was due to the restricted social life of the rats in the laboratory No Human Link Seen He didnt care to discuss the possible application of his findings to human beings All I can say is that we havt found a number of things about learning in rats which are not in accord with most modern theories, he said If they are applicable to human behaviors, they should upset many of the notions upon which our thinking is based Regardless of the application, it was conceded that no human would find pleasure in working for nothing as does a rat Two weeks before the test the rats become acquainted with laboratory technicians through handling Despite all precautions, however, some rats cant take it and have to be discarded Dr Wallace recalled the case of a female rat, known only as B10, who insisted on jumping out of the maze and otherwise getting off the beam We couldnt get her to follow the maze, he said with a note of regret She had to be retired Girl, 10, Bakes Cookies For Cute Hungry Soldier SEATTLEDorothy Howay, 10, has her photograph in the army post office at Fort Lewis, entitled Sweetheart
