VoL 78 — No. 52 — Ph.UPB-3lll Pinckney, Michigan — Wednesday, December 27, 1961 Single Copy, 10c DOWN WITH THE OLD — ON WITH THE NEW: A new parking lot for the LaRosa Tavern and Bowling Alley will re- ViBage/ wifl be complefely n^^. OwtteTs ftfft'--"^ Meyer recently sold the building to Vlnce LaRosa. It is located immediately west of the LaRosa property. The front section of the building which was much taller than the remaining rear section was torn down last week by workmen. Before the building was purchased for use as a creamery it was occupied by the village undertaker, Mr. Plympton. Caskets were stored in the west loom of the apartment at the left. It has been vacant since the Rebel Creamery closed in the late 30*s. First Ice Storm Uses 43 Tons Salt, Sand The first ice storm of the 1961 - 62 winter season required extensive salting and sanding operations .by Livingston County Road Commission crews. Over the past week end, more than 35 tons of salt and 18 tons of sand were applied to dangerous intersections, hills and curves, according to Walter J. Clink, superintendent • manager. Livingston County Road Commission. Sanding operations, said Clink, were continued on Monday at various snots throughout the county where slippery conditions were considered to he the worst. Similar ice storms during th? 1960-61 season required the application of 130 tons of salt by Livingston County Road Commission crews. Pinckncyites who have been patients at McPherson Health Center in the past weeks include Shirley Divine. Sandra Allen. James Conrad, Dorothy Wcthcrbee. Mrs. Oscar Beck and Jerry Nichols. Mrs. G. W. Pearson of Bellcfountainc, Ohio, is the holiday week guest at the Harold Henry home. The Henrys and Mrs. Pearson were among the Christmas dinner guests at the George Henry home in Ann Arbor. Con-Con Delegate Makes I Oth Report This week we have completed our public hearings. I am convinced we will be able to get into thj second phase of our work (the drafting of a new constitution) immediately upon return to Lansing on January 3. For the past ten days we have listened to representatives from counties, townships, cities, Justice of the Peace Association, constables, drain commissioners, county clerks, register of deeds, the t Michigan Municipal League, Michigan Department of Public Health plus a host of people whom arc interested in local government from various points or parts of Michigan. From this testimony the committee has received many valuable points of information. Appearing before our committee this week was David Morris, attorney from Saginaw, who stated that time is past due when functions of townships should be adjoined by county or urban towns or should be consumed by cities even if it took a force action. Mr. Nash, city attorney from Saginaw, stated that annexation should be done by an impartial body, which would involve the removal of the people's right to vote on specific issues in regard to annexing sections of townships to obtain their tax base regardless of services they could render the people. Mr. Welch. Mayor of los*. agreed that he was in favor of limiting township form of government. When I asked him if his County Board of Supervisors would be in agreement with him, he had to admit that they would not favor this plan. Mr. Moltcr, Chairman of the Board of Supervisors for Washtcnaw County, favored permissive home rule but answered with an emphatic no to the question of would his Board of Supervisors agree on the abolition of townships. Al Champion, a Wayne County tax expert, told us we should set up assessing districts m a n n e d by assessing experts throughout the state. This I believe deprives the property owner the right to deal directly with the tax assessor. I believe a trend of thinking in the Local Government Committee favors a permissive strong home rule form of government for our townships and counties. The Committee on Legislative Organization held an open hearing in Detroit, one in the afternoon and one in the evening, and according to the Chairman of the committee, there were fewer than 100 people at either meeting. By contrast, a like meeting was held m Berrien Springs December 20 and there were over 700 citizens attending This indicates that the outstate people are certainly interested and are keeping dose contact with the Convention Final Ordinance Meeting Set The village council has set January 18, 8 p. m. as the date of the final meeting for citizens to discuss the proposed Zoning Ordinance for the Village before it is put into effect. Last fall only seven interested residents of the village turned out for the preliminary meeting at the high school. The place of the January meeting has not been definitely decided but will be reported soon. County Health After two and one-half years of serving at Public Health Nurse for Livingston County, Judith Hubbjl has resigned from her position with the Livingston County Health Department. The health committee is looking for a public health nurse to replace Mrs. Hubbel but as yet has not hired a successor. Nursing activities of the health department will naturally be cut to a minimum until a replacement is obtained. The hearing and vision screening programs in the schools will continue. Mrs. Helen Lucas. R.N., Vision and Hearing Technician, will be doing the follow-up after all screening is completed. Mrs. Dorothy Dinkel. R. N., of Pinckney, has bjen hired by thj state to do the local planning and follow-up in connection with a mobile chest X-ray survey to be held February 6 to March 2 throughout the county. Supervisors Honor Thomas Howlett At the December 19th, 1961 meeting of the Livingston County Board of Supervisors moved by Supvr. Miller, seconded by Supvr. Lavan, and carried that copies of the resolution passed on November 30th, 1961, regarding Thomas Howlett be sent to the Pinckney Dispatch: WHEREAS: Thomas Howlett has served as a member of the Livingston County Welfare Board since 1949, and, WHEREAS: Thomas Howlett has given unstintingly of his time and talents for the purpose of aid ing and comforting many of the citizens of this County less fortu nate than himself, and in so do ing has added to the good name of the County and himself, and WHEREAS: Thomas Howlett has by these acts of service to his fellow citizens demonstrated representative government at its best NOW THEREFORE: We. the Board of Supervisors of the Coun ty of Livingston, do hereby com mend Thomas Howlett for his past service and wish him a long, healthy and satisfying life.

A NEW FACE TO GREET THE NEW YEAR, is what five Main Street business places are boasting. The recently completed $15,000 exterior remodeling of the Pinckney General Store (at right) and the three other stores owned by the General Slore proprietors, adds beauty to the Main Street business section which is probably one of the most attractive to be found anywhere in the area. At the left is the McPherson Bank which "joined" the project to be included under the 110 foot canopy covering Ihc miniature shopping mall complete with outdoor lighting and stone planters holding evergreens. The King Barber Shop, the Alta Mae Beauty Shop and one presently vacant shop are in the center. Under the canopy old-fashioned signs advertise the various departments of the General Store. In the rear" a large btock-topped parking lot adds to village shoppers convenience. Above the canopy the front is of anodized aluminum, golden in color and very striking both day and night when spot lights are turned on. Reward Offered For Information Leading to Arrest of Vandals A cash reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the unknown vandals who smashed a statue valued at $500 and broke two large plate g l a s s windows at Playland by throwing pieces of the statue through them, according to Mel Reinhart, owner of the recreation center at Hell. It is believed that the same vandals are responsible for the break-in and the ransacking of the Ranch House Grill near Playland. The vandalism which probably occured sometime in the night of December 18 was discovered Tuesday afternoon by Mr. Reinhart. Mr. and Mrs. Al Dewey, the owners of the closed Ranch House are in Phoenix, Arizona for the winter. Livingston County Sheriffs deputies say that someone apparently used a car to batter and knock down the six-foot statue of .Cerberus, the mythological three-headed dog that guards the gate to Hades The plaster and concrete statue was completed late last summet for Mr. Reinhart by Gary MOOR of Detroit who is a student in the department of sculpture and design] not enter Playland but did a very thorough job of ransacking the restaurant which is closed for t h e winter months. It has not been determined whether entry was gained to the U. S. Post Office sub-station which is in the same building.

It stopped the blood, gave her strength and ease, and a good appetite. I had it from her own lips. Mrs. Mary A. Stacey, Trumbull, Conn. Honor to German Syrup. & WAS A PHYSICAL WRECK.

Mrs. Aokins, the CoufenHed Child Murderess, in on Trial at Frankfort und Her Attorneys Will pat up a Ple» of Insanity—Other Item*. Child-Murderes* on Trial. In the light of the past, the criminal history of Benzie county has no record of deliberate and premeditated crime to parallel that 01 which Mrs. Mate Askins, the child-murderess now on trial at Frankfort, as a confessed principal. On the night of Oct. (> last, Mrs. Askins left her boarding place at Honor and proceeded to Thompsonville in company with her two children, Glenn, aped 8 years, and Margaret, aged 11 years. She registered ai the Commercial hotel, and after having obtained 30 grains of morphine, -ounces of carbolic acid and 3 ounces of cocaine from a neighboring drug store, mixed the morphine into a goblet containing sherry wine, and gave each of her children a liberal dose of the mixture. When physicians arrived they found the girl cold and stiff in death,' but the boy and his mother were resuscitated without much effort. Mrs. Askins, freely confesses that she committed the rash act for no other purpose than to "get them all out of the world." The attorneys for the defense will now try and make out that the woman was insane. • Mr*. Tilir'e S» mi •THOU Acquitted. The jury iu the Sanderson case rendered a verdict of not guilty at 1 **:01 a. m., on Dee. 23. The jury iiled in at 1O:;JT p. in. and Foreman Emmons stated it could not agree. Jurvman Austerburg wanted to know if the contents of the stomach had been subjected to such heat by Prof. Pre&eott duriug the analysis to cause formation of glass. Prescott's testimony was to the effect that it had not and the jury again retired at 11:30. The crowd was large, over 1,000 people staying. When the jury again returned, just on the stroke of 12, Foreman Kmmons' announcement of not guilty was received with cheers and hand clapping. Mrs. Sanderson shed tears and was clasped in her father's arms, where she collapsed, but soon revived und thanked each member of the jury. SPECIAL CESSION DOINGS. World • Parliament of Lnbor. After the longest session in its history, the American Federation of Labor on the 20th adjourned lis 10th annual convention sine die. It will be looked back up as one of the busiest convention the central congress of the American laboringinan has ever held. Much was accomplished towards the furtherance of the trades union movement and towards the settlement of existing' troubles. The following were elected officers for the enduing year: !'resident. Samuel Compere, of the cigarinakers: 1st vice-president, .1. P. MeGuire, of the carpenters; 2d vice-president, .fas. Duncan, of the granite cutters: 3d vicepresident, J as. OVonnell. of the machinists; 4th vice-president. John Mitchell, of the miners; 5th vice-president, Max Morris, of the clerks; Oth | vice-president, Thos. J. Kidd. of, the j woodworkers; secretary. Frank Morri- I son, of the printers; treasurer, John 15. i Lcnnon, of the tailors. ; Prominent Official* Asked to Resign. One of the most sensational of the ! many sensations that have resulted j from the calling of the grand jury at Lansing, to investigate alleged crooked ! dealing of state officials, cropped j out on the evening of the 10th when j Gov. Pingree isked for the resignations I of Brig.-Gcn. William L. White, of j Grand Rapids, quartermaster-general; \ Brig.-Gen. Fred 11. Case, of Three- Riv-j ers, adjutant-general; Brig.-Gen. Ar- 1 thur F. Marsh, of Allegan, inspectorgeneral, and Samuel N. Bickerstoff. a member of the board of trustees of the Michigan asylum for insane at Kalamazoo, and city salesmau for the Henderson- Ames Co., of that eity, who is alleged to have engineered the deal for the Kalamazoo company, winch resulted in a steal from the state of many thousands of dollars while the state troops were being equipped for the Spanish-American war. Oar State llanki*. The comptroller of the currency on the 22d gave out an abstract of reports of the condition on Dec. 2 of the 74 national banks in Michigan, exclusive of Detroit. Since the report of Sept. 7 the total resources have increased from £54,302,22'J to 854,330,74.>; loans and discounts increased from 831,410,3.-)1 to §32,004.443, and cash reserve increased from S3.1U7.177 to $3,200,744,- of which gold holdings advanced from Si,771,()07 to §1,777,027, Individual deposits increased from 83(),538,324 to ¢3().540,442. and the average reserve held fell from 20.40 to 25.70 per cent. STATE GOSSIP. Ray City was visited by a £75,000 mill fire on the 20th. The Votey Organ company's works | at Detroit is to be removed to Garwood, i * . J. j A farmer:/ institute for Arenac j county will be held at Maple Ridge, .Jan. 18 and 10. I MeRain is going to experiment with I gasoline lamps as an illuminating ; agency for the streets. The Gladwin County Fanners' institute has been awarded the prize by the state institute oilieers for second best attendance at the last county institute. Gratiot county farmers who raised sugar beets the past season are well satisfied with the returns, and the acreage next year will be a great deal larger than last. The principal block in the village of Haley was completely destroyed by fire on the morning of the 21st. entailing a lost estimated at SlO.OOO with about'82,700 insurance. An hourly service between Detroit and Romeo has been established by the Detroit, Rochester. Romeo and Lake Orion Electric railway, much to the satisfaction of people living along the route. The evaporator at Mayville will start up again soon, the owner having secured a contract from the British government for a large quantity of evaporated potatoes for the troops in South Africa,. State'* Money Loaned to Corporations. The grand jury at Lansing will return a great many more indictments. It has been found that $4,030 of the state's money was loaned to Grocer Libbey at Grand Rapids to enable him to do $25,000 worth of business w ith the state troops at Island Lake, for which exceedingly exhorbitant prices were charged. The Blake Rifle Co. wan loaned «10,000 of the state's money, the state taking security on the company's plant. The statutes, chapter 15, page 189 and 190, first volume Howell's is explicitly specific and strict on this point of handling or loaning public moneys. Under the statute there is no excuse possible for the loans made, and heavy penalties are provided. A Proponed Reform. The Michigan State Poultry association which met in Detroit on the 19th adopted the following resolution: "Whereas, It being deemed that the only equitable way of buying and selling eggs is by weight instead of by count, it is hereby resolved that all Michigan poultrymen hereafter use their best efforts to induce consumers of eggs to demand that eggs be sold by the pound, instead of by the dozen and be it also resolved that' we petition the state legislature at its next session to fix the standard of weight for a dozen eggs." m Editor Doty Gett no Redress. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Koh- 'ler has notified Alva WMourn* F. A. Brigham, Elmer Moses and Charles Van Kirk, of Metamora, who were indicted by the grand jury, charged with •wrecking the Cross Roads Weekly thaV at the opening of the January session or t h e circuit court a motion would be insula by the prosecution for nolle pros cque and that the parties need not pre pare themselves for trial. Insufficient j but her conscience has talked to nor evidence is the cause. The supreme court has decided that the act passed by the last legislature, abolishing the water board at Detroit and transferring its business to the board of public works, unconstitutional and void. Three stories of a four-story brick building on Woodbridge street, Detroit. which had been weakened by a recent .fire in an adjoining building, collapsed on the 12th. Only . one person was injured, but he probably fatally, The funeral of a Meridian woman. who died a few days ago, had to be held out of doors, as the casket necessary to hold the remains was so large that it could not be gotten into the house. The deceased weighed 450 pounds. Hartford is at last in shape to fight lire with its gasoline water works plant. Full pressure can be obtained in three minutes from the time the alarm is sounded. The tower is not yet completed, but at present a direct pressure is used. The proposed electric railroad from Allegan to the lake shore seems to be a sure thing. The necessary franchises have all been secured except one. through the village of Fennville, and the council at that place noW has the matter under consideration. A new system of mail collectionjvent into effect at Grand Rapids recently. All the electric cars in the eity were furnished with mail boxes fastened on the side of the cars, the idea being that any citizen who had a letter to post could hail a car and as it stopped drop his letter through the slot. Railroad Commissioner Osborn has decided to appeal the case brought against the Wabash Railroad Co. to compel it to sell tickets at thev rate of two and a half cents per mile. .The commissioner lost his case in the Wayne circuit court, and the question will now come before the supreme court. A woman employe of the Sanitarium Health Food Co. at Battle Creek has f/mfessed that she set fire to the company's building on the night of July 10, 1808, when the structure was damaged to the extent of 80,000. Incendiarism had never been suspected. She says she did it to cover up a Jheft of ¢500, repeatedly since. The extraordinary session of the legislature convened on the morning- of the 18th. There were no railroad lobbyists present on the opening day and little time was lost in settling down to business. There were the usual religious exercises in the opening of both houses, and at noon Lieut.-Gov. Robison merely told the senate that the governor's call would tyll them why they were tl>ere. In the house Speaker Adams made a formal address. When the house convened in the afternoon Rep. Rureh, of Detroit, offered a resolution instructing the clerk of the house to notify the prosecuting attorney of Ingham county and the members of the grand jury now in session in that county, that the members of the house waive all claims of privilege in the service of any process that might issue from the said grand jury. The resolution was adopted without a dissenting vote. After the reading of the governor's message by himself, a joint resolution was introduced by Rep. Wayne, of Midland, under which it is proposed to amend the constitution so as to compel railroads and other corporations to pay an equal proportion of the state's taxes. The resolution was immediately referred to the house committee on judiciary, and that body tackled it shortly after adjournment of the house. The governor's message asking the legislature to empower the attorneygeneral to bring proceedings to recover the 840,000 lost in the sale of military equipments was sidetracked in the senate. It was first sent to the judiciary committee, but Senator Mon;\ghan presented a resolution asking the srovernor to send iu an additional message of a broader scope so that the state can take steps to recover all moneys that nmy have been illegally expended. This was passed, and nothing further will be done until the governor is heard from. A special matter that the governor j asked the legislature to act on is a proj vision for new boilers at the soldiers' I home in Grand Rapids. For this pur- I pose 8S.000 is asked. Another matter that may come up is an appropriation of 8">.000 needed for the upper peninsula normal school, the new institution having been neglected. Roth houses passed the bills-straightening out the tangle in the soldiers' home and Manpiette normal school ap- j propriation bills on the 10th. There was no opposition, as neither bill increased an appropriation, simply making the appropriation of the last legislature available at once for the uses for which it was intended. These bills were given immediate effect, and will become laws as soon as presented to the governor and signed by him. The house judiciary committee could not agree on the Wayne joint resolution proposing amendments to the taxation provisions of the constitution. Scully. Foster. Hunt and Chee.ver voted for a motion to report it favorably. while Davis, McCallum, Kerr and Handy voted no. A motion to report the resolution without recommendation was supported by all of the above except Scully, who refrained from voting. The senate considered the Wayne joint resolution in committee of the v vJole on the 20th. The only important amendment made was one by Lyon, which provides that the '"legislature may provide for the collection of specific taxes from corporations,'' instead of from ••banking, railroad, plank road and other corporations,"' as passed AT HOME AND ABROAD A S U M M A R Y OF T H E NEWS FOR W E WE^K BY W l R $ . It Now tiookV «N Tlioujjh England "had More Trouble Ahead of H*r — The Ruler uf Abyssinia It After Her — ]touud»ry Line Don't Suit. Abyssinia tind Uuglaud May yet Scrap. Much anxiety over the attitude of Menelek, ruler of Abyssinia, toward Britain is displayed in London. At present there is a dispute between this potentate and Great Rritaiu as to the boundary between Egypt and Abyssinia, and it is feared Meuelik may consider the present an excellent time to make a demonstration. The kings of Kthiopia have always claimed the suzerainty of territories extending northward as far as Nubia, southward to Mombasa and westward to the White Nile. Menelek claims to be the owner of the right bank of that river, from 14th to the 2d degree of latitude, just opposite Pnshoda. He reiterated these pretentions as early as 1801 in a diplomatic note addressed to all European powers. Whether Menelek intends to press his claim at this time or not, he has sent troops to occupy the territories which he claims, and has acted like President Kruger, having made extensive warlike preparations. In the last two years he is said to have imported <] 300,000 rifles, 4.000.000 cartridges and mitrailleuses and rapid-fire cannon. It is estimated that Menelek can put nearly 200,000 men in the field. As to military qualities, the bravery and endurance of the Abyssinian soldiers have been proved in their campaign against the disciplined, well-trained troops of Italv.

After the committee of the whole had agreed to the resolution as amended it was referred to a special committee. The legislature adjourned on the 21st to permit the lawmakers to spend Christmas at home. The house on the 20th passed the Wayne joint resolution by a vote of 80 to 8. Oar St»te Robbed of 851,500. Developments of a most startling nature have come out in connection with the grand Jury's investigation of the affairs of the state military board, and indictments' against at least seven if not 10 of the men most prominently identified with the work of equipping and sending Michigan's troops to the front, are sure to be returned. The trouble with the legislative investigation last season seems to have been a failure to secure any positive evidence that any one man or party of men. in conclusion or otherwise, added to his or their eai'thly possession at the expense of the state as a whole, although there were all kinds of rumors that Michigan was milked right and left in, the purchase of supplies and subsistence for its soldiers. From the evidence now in hand it appears that on July 17 the military board held a meeting at which it was decided to sell a large part of the state stores, valued at thousands of dollars. A few days later a deal was fixed and the supplies, mostly clothing, were boxed and shipped to the Illinois' Supply Co., at Chicago. There the goods were receipted for in the name of the supply company by Addison C. Cobb, a former Kalamazoo man, who was then and is now a clerk at the Ocean Beach hotel. Without being unpacked, thes goods were promptly reshipped to the Henderson- Ames Co., at Kalamazoo, "the price paid the state for this big shipment by the Illinois Supply company, which is in reality the Henderson-^mes company, was 810, M)Q, Jp Dwl«ht L, Moody Dead. Dwight L. Moody, the famous evangelist, passed away at his home in East Northfield, Mass., at noon on Dec. 22, at the age of 02. The cause of his death was a general breaking down, due £o overwork. While speaking at Kansas City. Mo., Nov. 10, the noted evangelist was stricken down. Upon the advice of a phvsiciau Mr. Moodv re- i , , . - i and their families. ers. All must be good riders and marksmen. President Kruger's government has formally protested to Secretary Hay against the sale of munitions of war by American manufacturers and merchants to the British government. Secretary Hay has sent a reply to the Boer government reiterating the neutrality of the United States in the present war and declaring that American citizens in trading with both beligereats violate no neutrality obligation. The gravity of the military situation in London is again becoming accentuated in the public mind owing to the complete absence of news. Nothing' has been heard from Lord Methuen since Dee. ITth, and it is feared t h a t his communications have been cut off. If this be so, his position is dangerous. (Jen. Uuller's casualty list at Colenso, just published, shows that 140 were killed and 740 wounded. Two hundred and twenty-seven are described as missing, and of those about 40 are known ] to be prisoners in the hands of the j Boers. This makes u total larger than H e n . Bailer's original estimate. lloyal letters signed by the queen are being circulated by the archbishop tothe bishops of the various dioceses authorizing a collection in the, churches throughout England on Jan. 7 in aid of the fund f or siciv and wounded soldiers turned to his home, never to preach i again. Fully 15,000 people listened to his last sermon and many pronounced it as one of the evangelist's greatest efforts. Deceased was born on a farm near Northfield. Mass., in 1837. At the aged of 17 he started out in the world for himself, commencing as a clerk in a shoe store in Boston. One year later he went to Chicago, where he became a member of the Congregational church and an active member of the Y. M. C. A., and it was his work in connection with the association that built the foundation for his gteat evangelistic future. He was without a doubt the most famous evangelist of the day. Brooke May Relieve AuileMoD, Brigv-Gen. Thos. M. Anderson, commandant of: the department of the lakes, with headquarters in Chicago, Ik^dvers'artillervcnnnot will be relieved from active duty Jan 21, 1000, by the law retiring army otlicers at the age of 04. His retirement will remove from the regular army lists one of the old school, "whose military training was gained on the field of battle in the war of the rebellion. It is highly probable that Gen. Anderson, will be relieved by Major-General Brooke, retiring governor-general of Cuba. The Boers have been largely reinforced since Gen. Gatacre's reverse a t Stromberg. The country north of t h a t point is in arms, and the farms of the loyalists are being taken by the Boers, who reap the crops. Gen. Gatacre has issued a proclamati o n forbidding all persons living on farms to move about the district or t o visit Sterkstonn, except on Saturdays, and then only with passes, under pain of summary arrest. The lord mayor of London, Alfred Newton, is raising and' equipping a force of 1,000 volunteers among the city corps. The large city firms are'contributing the necessary expenses. Little credence is placed' in the report that the guns lost by the British were not captured by the Boers. Sir now muster That New Pension Rule. The order issued Oct. 31 by the pension department at Washington to the effect that each pension agent shall issue pensions only to such pensioners as live within the agency has ereated no end of trouble all over the country, inasmuch as the transfer of pensioners* names to their home districts has caused some delay in straightening up the books, any number of the pensioners will be shy their cheeks this quarter— an exceedingly inconvenient thing just at the holiday season. Tim* Extended to August. The interstate commerce commission on the 21st extended the time to August, lOOOv when all railroads must have their freight cars equipped with automatie couplers and other safety devices. The time would have been up Jan. 1, and this extension was made because applications for it was indorsed by representatives of railroad employes. Tbe Richest Yet Struck. The Vigilante Mining Co, has struck a vein of copper ore on its mine that exceeds in value anything that has ever been fonnd in the Black Hills. The mine is about five miles from Custer, S. D, The rich ore is found in'the 300- foot level, and the width of the vein at this time is 10 feet. THE NEWS CONDENSED It is rumored at Paris that the Bank of Russia has advanced the Bank of England £8,000,000. By the burning of a house at Oreen Brier, Ark., a mother and two small children were cremated on the 10th. Geo. Roberts, the father, was away from home at the time. The British and American minister* at The Hague have asked permission to retire to Antwerp with a view of avoiding personal unpleasantness during the anti-English attitude of the Dutch* much more than 30 guns. (Jen. Lord Roberts will supersede Gen. Buller in handling the British foree.s in South Africa. Gen Kitchener will also go to South Africa as chief of staff to Lord Roberts. The g o v e r n m e n t s New South Wales has decided to send a field' hospital corps and a battery of artillery to South Afri ca in addition to the mounted contingent. The bodies of two of the guides who mislead Gen. Gatacre at Stormberg were found on the battlefield. The mVn had been shot. The imperial government has accepted the offer of the Dominion government to send a second contingent to the Transvaal. WAR NOTES. Maj.-Gen. Henry W. Lawton was killed at San Mateo on the 18th. The general with cavalry and battalions of the 20th and 27th infantries left Manila on the above date for the purpose of capturing the town of Sah Mateo, with its rebel garrison of 300. On the same day of his death, not thinking the brave general to be dead, the President had instructed the war department t o prepare Gen. Law ton's commission as a brigadier general in the regular army to fill one ,of the existing vacancies. Gen. Lawton was a hero of three wars, was known as a'good fighter and a soldier of experience. He was born in Toledo, 0., and was appointed to the army from Indiana. He was married. Ex-President Harrison in commenting on the death, of Gen. Lawton says he believes that the general'* death was the result of treachery. . Gen. Young reports that he-believea the American prisoners, including Lieut.

"I will be ready this evening." Edward raised her hands to his lips and rose. " T h a n k s ! And n o w o n e favor n o r e ! Captain W i l s o n a s k s permission to pay his respects to you. Will you receive h i m ? " "Not now. I m u s t g o to my father. The captain will excuse me if I receive him later." "As you please. A n d w h e n may I see my uncle?" "As soon as ho w a k e s . I am expecting the doctor. H e promised t o come toward e v e n i n g and bring Doctor Blackwood, w h o is to reach the city this morning. Perhaps he can give me hope." "Hope? Ycu k n o w as wall as I that it is only a question of time, a short addition to the days of life. The p h y - sicians have left us no doubt on that score. But I won't detain you from the sick-room now. F a r e w e l l ! I shall hope to see my uncle in half an hour." H e kissed her hand again, and left the room. Florence remained alone. She, too, had risen, and now, slowly approaching the fountain, bent over its basin. The sultry air oppressed her till her breathing a l m o s t failed. Perhaps it w a s also the burden of dread of the c o m i n g hours and the torturing decision which they mu3t bring. The water leaped and plashed. The fragrance of the flowers stole softly and sweetly to her. W h i l e her eyes mechanically followed the falling drops, their pattering and the fragrance wove a dreamy haze of remembrance about her and led her back into tho past—this last year, which at first had promised her so much happiness, only to bring such bitter suffering. E v e n this brief period of bliss had at first cost a struggle. She was obliged to conquer a prejudice of her followed the former's serious illness and Edward's passionate entreaties, for the latter was determined to secure her hand at any cost. At last, supposing herself deserted by the m a n she loved, she yielded to these creatures and gave up her resistance. The young girl was suddenly startled from her reverie by a broad, bright bar of sunshine, The blinds of the g l a s s doors loading out upon the terrace had been opened, and a man appeared, in a light s u m m e r suit, with a broadbrimmed straw hat pulled so low over his brow that his features could scarcely be distinguished. The visitor, strange to say, cante through the garden, instead of using the main entrance, and now, unannounced, hurriedly entered the drawing-room. The young lady involuntarily took a step toward the table, on which stood a bell. "Florence!" She started, for she recognized the voice, then the features, and w i t h a cry of mingled fear and joy. she held out both arms to him'. " W i l l i a m ! " H e was already at her side and clasped her passionately in his arms, e x c l a i m i n g with a deep sigh: "Thank h e a v e n ! A t least I have not lost y o u ! " Florence clung closely to him, as if seeking protection. E v e r y t h i n g that had tortured her vanished in her lover's presence, in the delight of seeing him, and she eagerly exclaimed: "Have you come at .last? W h y have you left me alone so long—so e n d l e s s l y long? I despaired of your return." .. "I could not hasten to you," replied William. "My regiment w a s one of the first to receive marching orders. Not a day, not an hour was granted me, and every march increased the distance between us. You know w h a t it cost me to submit to this iron necessity; my letters told you." "Your letters? You wrote to m e ? " "Then you did not receive t h e m ? I S H E S T A R T E D FOR S H E RECOGNIZED T H E VOICE. father, who had l o n g intended to wed her to his nephew and would hear of no other marriage. He considered the y o u n g offieer w h o had won his daughter's love as an insolent intruder, w h o w a s destroying the peace of his household; and the political opinions of the two m e n , w h i c h were strongly opposed t o each other, also threatened danger. Nevertheless, for the time, Mr. Harrison, conquered by the tears and entreaties of his o n l y child, yielded, t h o u g h with reluctance; Edward, w h o had Just returned from a long journey, found himself confronted with a fact a g a i n s t which h i s fierce jealousy w a s powerless. B u t he k n e w how to m a i n t a i n his influence o v e r his uncle, and never ceased to stimulate his aversion to the s o n - i n - l a w -who had been forced upon him. C H A P T E R IV. At last, the outbreak, of the war furnished the long-dc3ired opportunity for a n open breach. Harrison imposed conditions which he knew the y o u n g officer would never accept and, on his refusal, withdrew h i s promise. In this w a y he had a semblance of justice on his side, and Roland's refusal was described under the m o s t hateful colors. F l o r e n c e w a s neither energetic nor independent. She had been brave so l o n g a s W i l l i a m stood at her side and s h e w a s sure of h i s l o v e and protection. Alone she w a s unable to contend with her father and Edward, end now | suspected it w h e n no answer came, yet I still tried every m e a n s of c o m m u n i - cating w i t h you. Florence, we have been shamefully treated. I have never had one line from your hand." "From m e ? I did not write," said Florence, in a low, hesitating tone. William, w h o was still holding her in close embrace, suddenly released her and stepped back. "You did not? You have not sent ^Vttfi a single line during the l o n g m o n t h s of our separation? You have not once attempted to elude the watch set on your m o v e m e n t s ? Yet you must have known that I would m a k e every effort to' send you tidings cf me." The reproach w a s felt, but at the same time the old sting also piercad her heart, and, with a touch of defiance, the young girl answered: "Tidings of you did come, but they were not addressed to me—th? letter in which you renounced me and all of us." "Your father—not you. W h a t other answer could I make to his shameful demand? Either he*' never knew me,' or he could not have set such a choice before me—or he k n e w m y decision in advance, and my refusal was to seal a separation on which hd had l o n g determined." "Well, at least you made your choice rlromptly e n o u g h : You uttered^ the refusal, a n d — g a v e m e up." "No. Florence, n o ! " Wiliiam Impetuously answered. "I did not give you up, and never will, a3 l o n g as breath remains In my body. I know that we are parted for the time, that there can be no thought of marriage while I a m serving in the Union army. It would be expecting the impossible from your father if I were to ask h i s consent before the war is over. But m y fear was not vain that the effort would be made to wrest you from me, that estrangement and distrust would come between U3 while I w a s absent. You have doubted me, I see, and it w a s t o destroy this doubt that I took the dangerous ride here. But you will now believe in me and m y love, my Florence, as firmly as I trust you. Will you n o t ? " T h e last words expressed the utmost tenderness. H e believed so implicitly in the loyalty cf his fiancee; and she— A sudden fear a w o k e in her with tha memory of what had happened and was yet to como. William must know it1, yet she could not force her lips to utter the confession. She was to be spared the necessity. While still struggling to find the wordd with which to begin her story, Edward returned and paused on the threshold in astonishment, as he s a w the stranger clasping the y c u n g girl's hand so familiarly in his own. At the first glance the civilian's dress and the dim light deceived him; but as the young officer, with a sudden movement, turned toward him, Harrison started back, exclaimingly furiously: "Mr. Roland—is it you?" "Certainly," replied the other, coldly, with a gloomy glance at the man w h o m he had long recognized as his foe. "You probably did not expect to find me here?" Edward had already regained his self-control. H e instantly perceived what threatened him and the peril involved by his rival's unexpected appearance. A few hours later, the latter would have had n o power to cross his path; but c o w he must face the danger, and Harrison was not the man to shrink and give up the game as lost. "No, indeed," he said, a n s w e r i n g tho last question. "So far as I am aware, the Union forces have not reached Springfield." 'Yet I am here, as you see." "On hostile soil. And for what purpose?" "Do I owe a n account to you? You seem to be usurping the place of the master of the house, Mr. Harrison. I regret that I cannot acknowledge it; for I, too, h a v e a son's privilege here, and will speak only to the father of m y betrothed bride.". "My uncle will hardly be disposed to recognize your claim. At any rate, you must forego an interview with him." "Will you prevent it?" demanded Roland, threateningly. But Florence, who had anxiously noticed the rising wrath of the two men, now interposed. "My father is ill, William," she said gently; "has been very ill for months. During the last few w e e k s his disease has assumed a dangerous phase, and yesterday the doctor prepared me for the worst." Her voice w a s choked w i t h tears. William listened in perplexity; whatever wrath he bad cherished against his future father-in-law, this n e w s disarmed him. "I had no t h o u g h t of this," he s i i d , deeply moved. "My poor Florence!" He put his arm around the weeping girl. But this movement, the quiet confidence with which he asserted the rights of a betrothed lover, enraged Harrison to the utmost; his hands clenched as if he longed to tear the couple apart, and his voice sounded hoarse, almost stilled. "You don't seem to be aware of what has happened recently, Mr. Roland. I am compelled to inform you of it; 1 - " "I kuow and suspect more than m i g h t be agreeable to you," interrupted the y o u n g officer, releasing Florence and approaching him. "I just heard from Miss Harrison that not one of my letters has reached her hands, though I used every precaution. Her father cannot have interfered, since for m o n t h s he h a s been on a sickbed; yet an intrigue has been carried on which I see w i t h tolerable distinctness. Perhaps I shall apply to the right person if I ask y o u for information. You will, of course, deny—" " W h o tells you so?" asked Edward, coldly.' "The letters are in my hands." W i l l i a m started, back. This coldblooded a c k n o w l e d g m e n t completely destroyed his self-command for a m o - ment; but Florence exclainied in consternation: " E d w a r d ! You did that?" Hc» turned to her with a perfectly unmoved manner. | "I thir.k I can explain it. A t first I i acted only a t your father's request, • afterward 01% my o w n authority; but j t h e n I was s i m p l y exercising my rights, for you will remember that three w e e k s ago you consented to become my wife." "That is a ^ie! A shameful slandrvrl" cried William. "Speak, Florence! /.defend yourself.! Y o u see I don't believe one word of the calumny." (To be continued.) \ A Boston Man Plaaaad.

PI.VCK •~~* • MICHIGAN-' Set a bad example and it will hatch o u t mischief. Narrow minds overlook a charitablo Act and search for tha motive. Seme people are never so happy as when they have bad news to tell. A fool may be able to answer questions t h a t a wise man wouldn't ask. If General Joubert is dead his soul IB certainly marching on with great success. When men have rn^re money than they need they think they need more t h a n they have. All a man has to do to obtain socalled social success is to put a fair value on himself and live up to it. A competitor to the Illinois State Pawners' society is In the Held, and there will soon be tvro cf these lowpriced loan associations in active operation In Chicago. Competition Is. in this case at least, the surest proof that t h e new idea is a success and has already achieved popularity among "genteel borrowers." It has been discovered in St. Paul t h a t electric ground connections, made by attaching wires to water pipes, not only ruin the pipes by electrolysis, but seriously interfere with the operation of the water meters. In one case a meter through which a large quantity of water was discharged failed to register. This was an extreme case and easily detected, but what the effect has been upon the indicators in cases where the current is not so strong the officers of the water board have no means to determine. To protect themselves, however, they have ordered the removal of all electric wires from the water pipes. Personal reserve is sometimes lost eight of in the far West, as a famous sugar merchant from the East recently discovered. He had business in a Missouri town, and was lunching a t a table with a native. "Hi, stranger," asked the other, "where you from?" T h e eastern man, having a stud farm in Kansas City, mentioned that place. " W h a t ' s your business?" "Well, horses," came the reply. "Say, what's your n a m e ? " "None of your business," rejoined • the disturbed sugar-dealer. Even in Ohio, settled largely by Massachusetts and Connecticut colonists, t h e eastern man sometimes finds himself in an atmosphere of frankness. "You are all talking about your weste r n reserve," such a one recently remarked. "Blessed if I see a n y ! " A wheat calendar, giving the time of ripening in various countries, shows how the grain has all seasons for its own. Dwellers in the United States. (for example, where so much of the land is resting during the winter months, find by the calendar t h a t wheat is at the harvest point of growth in December for Burma and New South Wales agriculturists. J a n - uary witnesses the same stage of development in Australia. New Zealand, Chile and Argentina; while February and March are wheat harvest months for Upper Egypt and India. The list for June, July and August is the fullest. There is one feature, almost inevitable, in the world's annual wheat story. A shortage, real or fancied, is a p t to be reported in some quarters, a n d then speclation sees lift opport u n i t y quite as soon as legitimate dealing. The biograph is doing good service t o science. A hospital in New York is adapting a machine to record minutely the actions of persons in epileptic fits and similar affections. Movi n g pictures have been taken showing t h e walking movements in persons afflicted with locomotor ataxia.

Text: Solomon'* 8on* 3: tt: Who la This That Cometh Out or the WU<l«ruea» LlJco 1'illHM of iSmukef —HuBvtiag of (Jod'a Church. The architecture of the smoke is wondrous, whether God with his finger curves it into a cloud or rounds it into a dome, or points it In a spire, or spreads it in a wing, or, as in the text, hoists it in a pillar. Watch it winding up from the country farmhouse in the early morning, showing that the pastoral industries have begun; or, sec it ascending from the chimneys of the city, teliing of the homes fed, the factories turniug out valuable fabrics, the printing presses preparing book and newspaper, and all the ten thousand wheels ot work in motion. On a clear day this vapor spoken of mounts with such buoyancy and spreads such a delicate veil across the sky, and trace, t;ueh graceful lineu of circle and 'S>1?micircle and waves and tosses and sinks and soars and scatters with such affluence of shape and color and sugge-stiveness, that if you have never noticed it you are like a man who has all his life lived in Paris and yet never seen the Luxemburg, or ail his life in Rome and never seen the Vatican, or all his life at Lockport and never seen Niagara, forty-four times the Bible speaks of the smoke, and it is about time that somebody preached a sermon recognizing this strange, weird, beautiful, elastic, charming, terrific and fascinating vapor. Across the Bible sky floats the smoke of Sinai, the smoke of Sodom, the smoke of Ai, the smoke of the pit, the smoke of the volcanic hills when God touches them, and in my text the glorious church of God coming up out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke. In the first place-, these pillars of smoke in my text indicate the suffering the church of God has endured. What do I mean by the church? I mean not a building, not a sect, but those who, in all ages, and all lands, and of all beliefs, love God, and are trying to do right. For many centuries the heavens have been black with the smoke of martyrdom. If set side by side you could girdle the earth with the fires of persecution. Rowland Taylor burned at Hadleigh; Latimer burned at Oxford; John Rogers burned at Smithfield; John Hooper burned at Gloucester; John Huss burned at Constance; Lawrence Saunuers burned at Coventry; Joan of Arc burned at Rouen. Protestants have represented Catholics as having a monopoly of persecutors, but both Protestant and Catholic have practiced infamous cruelties. The Catholics, during the reign of Hunneric, were by Protestants put to the worst tortures, stripped of their clothing, hoisted in the air by pulleys with weights suspended, from their feet.then let down, and ears and eyes, nose and tongue were amputated, and red-hot plates of iron were put against the tenderest parts of their bodies. George Bancroft, the historian, says of the state of Maryland: "In the land which Catholics had opened to Protestants mass might not be said publicly; no Catholic priest or bishop might utter his faith in a voice of persuasion; no Catholic might teach the young. If a v a y w a r d child cf a Papist would not become an apostate, the law wrested for him from his parents a share of their property. Such were the methods adopted to prevent the growth of Popery." Catholicism as well as Protestantism has had its martyrs. It does seem as if when any one sect got complete'dominancy in any land, the devil of persecution and cruelty took possession of t h a t sect. Then see the Catholics after the Huguenots. See the Gentiles after the Jews in Touraine, where a great pit was dug and fire lighted at the bottom of the pit, and one hundred and sixty Jewish victims were consumed. See the Presbyterian parliament of England, more tyrannical in their treatment of opponents than had been the .jyriminal courts. Persecution against t h e Baptist by , Paedo-Baptists. Persecution of the Established Church against the Methodist church. Persecution against the Quakers. Persecution against the Presbyterians. Under Emperor Diocletian one hundred and forty-four thousand Christians were massacred, and seven hundred thousand more of them died from banishment and exposure. Witness the sufferings of the Waldenses, of the Albigenses, of the Nes^ torians. Witness , St. Bartholomew's massacre. Witness the Duke of Alva driving out of life eighteen thousand Christians. Witness Herod, and Nero, and Decius, and Hilaebrand. and Torquemada. and Earl of Montfort, and Lord Claverhouse, who when told that he must give, account for his cruelties, said: "i have no need to account to* man, and as for God I will take him In my own hands." A red line runs through t h e church history of nineteen hundred years, a line of blood. Not by the hundreds of thousands, but by the millions must we count those slain for Christ's sake. No wonder John Milton put the groans of the martyrs to an immortal tune, writing: — "Avenge, O Lord, thy slaughtered saints, whose bones Lie scattered on the Alpine mountains cold." T h e smoke of martyrs' homes and m a r t y r s ' bodies if rolling up all a t once would have eclipsed t h e noonday sun, and turned the brightest day the world ever saw into a midnight. " W h o is this t h a t cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke?" H a s persecution ceased? Ask t h a t young man who is trying to be a Christian in a store or factory, where from morning to night he is the butt of all the mean witticisms of unbelieving employes. Ask that wife whose husband makes her fondness for the house of God, and even her kneeling prayer by t h e bedside a derision, and is no more fit for her holy companionship than a filthy crow would be fit companion for a robin or a golden oriole. Compromise with the world and surrender to its conventionalities and it may let you alone, but all who will live godly in Christ Jesus must suffer persecution. Be a theater-going, cardplaying, vine-drir.king, round-dancing Jiristian, and you may escape criticism and social pressure. But be an up and down, out and out follower of Christ, and worldling will wink to worldling as he speaks your name, and you will be put to many a doggerel, and snubbed by those not worthy to blacken your oldest shoes. When the bridge at Ashtabula broke, and let down the most of the carload of passengers to instant death, Mr. P. P, Bliss was seated on one side of the aisle of the car writing down a Christian song which he was composing, and on the other side a group of men were playing cards. Whose landing place in eternity would you prefer—that of P. P. Bliss, the Gospel singer, or of the card-players? A great complaint comes from the theaters about the ladies* high hats, because they obstruct the view of the stage, and a lady reporter asked me what I thought about it, and I told her t h a t if the indecent pictures of actresses in the show windows were accurate pictures of w h a t goes on in many of the theaters, night by night, then it would be well if the ladies' hats were a mile high, so as to completely obstruct the vision. If professed Christians fro to such places during the week, no one will ever persecute them for their religion, for they have none, and they are the joke of hell. But let tftem live a consecrated and Christian life and they will soon run against sneering opposition. For a compromise Christian character an easy time now, but for consecrated behavior, grimace and caricature. For the body, thanks to the God of free America, there are now., no swords or fiery stakes, but for the souls of thousands of the good, in a figurative sense, rack and gibbet and Torquemada. The symbol of the domestic and social and private^and public suffering of a great multitude of God's dear children, pillars of smoke. What an exciting scene in India, when, during the Sepoy rebellion, a regiment of Highlanders came up and found the dead body of one of General Wheeler's daughters, who had been insulted and mauled and slain by t h e Sepoys. So great was the wrath against these murderers t h a t the Scotch regiment sat down and, cutting off the hair of this dead daughter of Gen. Wheeler, they divided it among them, and each one counted the number of hairs given him, and each one took a n oath, which was executed, that for each hair of the murdered1 daughter they would clash out the' life of a bestial Sepoy. But as we look over the story of those who in all ages have suffered for the truth, while we leave vengeance to the Lord, let us band together in one solemn vow, one tremendous oath, after having counted the host of the martyrs, t h a t for each one of those glorious men and women who died for truth an immortal shall live—live with God and live forever. But as I already hinted in the first sentence of this sermon, nothing can be more beautiful than t h e figures of smoke on a clear sky. You can see what you will in the contour of this volatile vapor, now enchanted castles, now troops of horsemen, now bannered procession, now winged couriers, now a black angel of wrath under a spear of the sunshine turned to an angel of light, and now from horizon to horizon the air is a picture gallery filled with masterpieces of which God is the artist, morning c!oud3 of smoke born in the sunrise, and evening clouds of smoke laid in the burnished sepulchres of the sunset. The beauty of the transfigured smoke is a divine symbol of t h e beauty of the church. The fairest of all the fair is she. Do not call those persecutors of whom I spoke the church. They are the parasites of the church, not the church itself. Her mission Is to cover the earth with a supernatural gladness, to open all the prison doors, to balsam all the wounds, to mo3D all the graves, to burn up the night In the fireplace of a great' morning, to change iron handcuffs into diamonded wristlets, to turn the whole race around, and wherea s it faced death, commanding it, "Right about face for heaven!" According to the number of t h e spires of -the^ churches in all our cities, towns and neighborhoods, are the good homefi, the world prosperities, and the pure morals and the happy souls. ••"* It la demonstrated to all honc.3t men t h a t It is not so certain that William Cullen Bryant wrote "Thanatopsis," or Longfellow wrote " H i a w a t h a " as thfct 'God, by the hand of prophet and apostle, wrote the Bible. All the wise men in science and law and medicine and literature and merchandise are gradually coming to believe in Christianity, and soon there will be no people who disbelieve in it except those conspicuous for lack of brain or men with two families, who do not like t h e Bible because it rebukes their swinish propensities. The time Is hastening when there will be no infidels left except libertines and harlots and murderers. Millions of Christians where once there were thousands, and thousands where once there were hundreds. What a bright evening this, the evening of the nineteenth century! And the twentieth century, which is about to dawn, will, in my opinion, bring universal victory for Christ and the church, that now is marching on with step, double-quick, or, if you prefer the figure of the text, is being swept on in the mighty gales of blessing, imposing and grand and majestic and swift like pillars of .smoke. Oh, come into the church through Christ the door—a door more glorious than that of the temple of Hercule3, which had two pillars, and one was gold, and the other emerald! Come in today! The world you leave behind is a poor world, and it will burn and pass off like pillars of smoke. Whether the final conflagration will s t a r t in the coal mines of Pennsylvania, which, In some places, have for many years been burning and eating into the heart of the mountains, or whether It shall begin near the California geysers, or whether from out the furnaces of Cotopaxl, and Vesuvius, and Stromboli, it shall burst forth upon the astonished nations, 1 make no prophecy; but all geologists tell us t h a t we stand on the lid of a world the heart of which Is a raging, roaring, awful flame, and some day God will let the red monsters out of their imprisonment, and New York on fire in 1835. and Charleston on fire in 1865, and Chicago on fire in 1871, and Boston on fire in 1873, were only like one spark from a blacksmith's forge as compared with t h a t last universal blaze, which will be seen in other worlds. But gradually the flames will lessen, and the world will become a great living coal, and that will take on ashen hue, and then our ruined planet will begin to smoke, and the mountains will smoke, and the valleys will smoke, and the islands will smoke, and the seas will smoke, and the cities will smoke, and the five continents will be five pillars of smoke. But the black vapors will begin to lessen in height and density, and then will become hardly visible to those who look upon it from the sky galleries, and after a while from just one point there will curl up a thin, solitary vapor, and then even that will vanish, and there will be nothing left exSept the charred ruins of a burned-out woHW, the corpse of a dead star, the ashes A f a n extinguished planet, a fallen pillarNafs|lo<fke7 But that will not interfere with your investments if you have taken Christ as your Savior. Secure heaven as your eternal home, and you can look down upon a dismantled, disrupted, and demolished earth without any per- ^ tiirbation. i ^ : W i i e n wrapped in fire the realms of i j ether glow, i And/heaven's last thunders shake the earth below, hou, undismayed, shalt o'er the ruins smile, And light thy torch at nature's funeral pile."

The queen, although kind, has been a despotic mother and grandmother, and has concerned herself, says "M. A. P.," more than the average parent with the bringing up of her descendants. Besides carefully supervising her children's education, selecting or approving their friends, and providing their husbands and wives, she has rigorously controlled their pin money, of which there never has been any wasting in the precincts of old Windsor. Toys and gewgaws in the royal nursery were limited, but there never was any lack of books. Each child had its own miniature book case, and was responsible for keeping it in order, as well as for a periodical report showing just how many and what books had been read. The report was submitted to the queen at t h e end of every month. The children frequently preferred to pass the time playing, making out their list at random, but were invariably caught. In this respect Princess Louise is reported to have proved the worst delinquent, and it. is said t h a t on an average her royal highness spent a whole day of each month in an empty room, as punishment for this offense alone. On one 6ccaslon, when a child of 8, she reported that her literary food for the month had consisted of a few "fairy tales.' "The Meditations of Marcus Aurelius" and "The Life of Zwingli." The queen's suspicions being aroused, she questioned her daughter as to who these personages were. Unhesitatingly came the reply t h a t Marcus Aurelius had discovered America and Zwingli was a famous German actor! Some men lose hats on an election r-ad some lose their heads.

'•.'Well, U those fellows are coming oround to see the old year out they had better show up pretty soon," yawned II. Paiker Baxter as he slammed down the cover of a ponderous and gruesome medical book and turned a pair of sleepy eyes to the clock,which was complacently ticking away the last fifteen minutes of '98. No other sounds- were to be heard, save the occasional settling of the fire in the grate, fcr the snow lay deep and soft over the cobble and flagstone outside. The old year, after a stormy life, was dying calmly and beautifully. To our friend BaxLer, one of these unimpasiioned, dusty men who never "Join in," this ancient ceremony of seeing the old year out appealed but blue ocean sparkling in the summer rifilhlight! More than this, H. Parker Saras conscious of a slight odor of salt in the air, as of seaweed and wet rocks left by the, tide. The distunt boom of breakers, soft at Brat, grew louder and nearer,' When the girl stepped down from the drift log to the sand before his eyes, the doctor's smile of incredulity suddenly expired. When she looked at him and spoke he felt a tremor in the very marrow of his bonei, and not a tremor wholly of surprise either. There he was—on the beach with her again; not Baxter of surgical treatises and test-tubes, but the summercjad, sun-tanned devotee of Granite Head, and* the very ardent, though unassuming, admirer of Grace Marston. Her first words confused his thoughts, he felt a ghostlike atmosphere about him, but after that the glaring August sun warmed him through, the sea breeze exhilerated him, he was filled with energy and real live happiness. "Dear me," she was saying, "to think that there is nothing better for you to photograph than a summer girl making a guy of herself on an -old log! There go those Sewall girls from the 'Pines;' if you hurry you can catch heard they are great at it." "At posing, I suppose," he answered. "No, Miss Marston, I have graduated from the snap-'em-whenevor-you-can THE feebly. He used to say of New Years.l^heni to pose in a group for you. I've "an arbitrarily fixed point in time which has become the inaugural date for good resolutions, to the necessary neglect of all other dates for their formation," but most of his friends thought this simply a speech that he was gratilied to make. He was trying hard to.pose as a "rising young physician," and was really acting the part to himself, as many an ambitious man will do. But however this may be, as the seconds ticked along, H. Parker grew more and more drowsy. He settled himself back in the chair, stared at the fire, and blinked. Then his eyelids d r o p p L d . "This will never do," says he, straightening up with a jerk and reaching out to the table for something to read or look at, "I must keep awake & few minutes longer." Chance put a stack of photographs under his hand, and though they were stale enough he began to look them over again—incidentaliy yielding to the comfort of lying back in the big chair. Some were portraits of. his friends at school and •college, some were old faded prints t h a t ought to have had romances attached, but which were reaily very prosaic, even to him. Others bore the brand of the amateur's first attempt— these to be passed by quickly; a few were the products of his own photographic skill at Granite Head last summer— bathers in the surf, the hotel, a •clam bake, etc.—all very fair photographs in their way—but hold! here , is one that might be studied critically. There is no hurry. It is too late now for the revellers to come. H. Parker shifts to a still more comfortable position and the soft lamp light shines over his shoulder upon as pretty a little picture as you would ask to see. It is the picture of a dark-haired girl, •dressed in a suit of duck. She is standing on a log of driftwood with her hands behind her and her handsome, happy face turned squarely to the camera. In the developing of this picture H. Parker had conceded that more care was required than in ordinary wrork; he had watched its delicate lines appear with the enthusiasm of a true lover of the chemist's art. With any other passion? Possibly, but that was past and gone four months ago. The young dsctor liked that photograph, somehow. He had examined it time and again until he knew its every detail. It did not grow stale like the others. But tonight there seemed to be a new light upon it, a new tone in the unfocused background of sand and sea, an undefinable change of expression in those brown eyes looking out DOCTOR LIKED THAT PHOTOGRAPH. c'a.-s and have entered the art scb.ool-rh^ nc<? I have cluscn you fjr tb>; picture." "Ha-ha-ka! I appreciate that,' laughed the girl as they be^an to saunter down toward the cliffs, "but have you considered, Mr. Baxter, the probability cf my breaking the plate?" "What! An angler, too? I shall not humor the weakness in you, still, if you are a summer girl, as your own confession would indicate " "Pardon me, Mr. Baxter, "you know I like the assertion better when you let me make it." "Of course. Observe,that I advance no statements on the. subject myself. I was merely going to say that if you are a summer girl of the approved, newspaper- joke sort, your likeness upon the plate could not fail to produce the effect that it has hearts, to wit—complete fraciure." Yg strong for ''Why, I am surprised at you," said [V fray. Grace, a faint blush hardly perceptible j ^ a ^ ; Ring! under the healthy tan which she had found no difficulty in acquiring at Granite Head. H. Parker studied her face in its mock severity and watched the dainty little hand go up to push back some annoying hair that blew across her am very clever at showing fallacies in reasoning." "Well, unless because I live a uselei's life. Just look at my diary for a winter. Just look it through and see If you find anything accomplished, anything improving or worthy. Dances —calls—teas, over and over again. Do you call that sort of thing living? The people I meet diiy by day there; do I know them, are they friends, do they know me.? No, lt'a all vanity—artificial— a waste of time." Grace was serious enpugh now and stared out to sea with a- frown upon her brows a* dark as any that ever hovered ther&. A pause and her companion spoke. "It may be vanity for some, but not for you, Mjss Marston. Society furnishes a field for superficial character to breed and thrive in, but yours U good and strong and sincere." "I have begun to forget and disregard what it naturally is. I am tired of that life. I love the woods and the sea—the open air and the sense of freedom; freedom to go where I please, be as I want to be, choose companions that I like." "Then the view cf cliffs and breakers is pleasanter than the brilliant ballroom with its music and flowers? That cottage half buried in the pines seems a truer home than many a brown stone front on the avenue?" "Ah, a thousand times," answered Grace with the frown dying out of her face. His words were slow and earnest, but she seemed not to connect them with the speaker. They put her into a brown study and she fell to examining a handful of sand for garnets. Watching the search, he continued ever, more quietly than before. "Would there be happiness for you in a little home such as that cottage, far from town, with all its parties and things, where you would be with real people, where you would be loved and served by real friends?" Closer scrutiny of the sand. "Would you give up that luxurious life that you have followed for this, and for a fellow whose every energy would be turned to your happinesssuch a fellow, in fact, as I?" The sand slipped away, and the garnets were lost. "Oh, Grace, Grace, would you—could y o u - — ? " Dine, dong—dins,.dong—ding, dong; twelve o'clock. II. Pr.rksr Baxter awoke with a great str.rt arid looked around astonished. He had seen the New Year come in Au- T H E NEW BABY. Ring! Ring! Ring!

A great wave of admiration for .STANDING ON A LOG OF DRIFTWOOD. ,-of the albumen paper. Our imaginatioa is subject to suoh unhealthy flutters as this, yet most interesting grew •that picture, and H. Parker's eyes and heart were won, if his reason sanctioned not. Preposterous and incredible! The dock skirt began to move slightly, as if stirred by a breeze from the sea, and the margins of the picture drew farther and farther apart, until on one •ide a row of bath houses came into -view, while on the other the broad. that noble girl rose up in his breast— admiration very unlike that with which he had heard his brilliant classmates proclaim their knowledge. His heart told him, "I love her." Why not let his heart be heard? They strolled along together to the music of the sea. H. Parker felt that there was melody even in the screaming of the gulls overhead. He wondered why it had never seemed so before. "Let us sit up there under the big rock," suggested Grace, pointing to the nearest of the cliffs which leaned forward over the sand and made a cosy shelter from the sun. Here the sand was cool, the glare softened and the view of cheap cottages and decrepit bath houses cut off, while the whole stretch of beach on the right lay before them like a broad white highway.

"Are you ever serious, Miss Mars- ^ton?" quoth he with but a 'trace of that quality in his own tone. "Sometimes."

"Can a man and woman love each other when their speech is different and they can't exchange a word?" said a lounger in the smoking room of one of the hotels the other night. "Loti says they can. Most of his bocks are about the charming and poetical love that existed for a time between himcelf and a Japanese, a South Sea islander, a Turkish girl, a Montenegrin, Tartar, or a Chinese lady. Loti will never forget these loves, he says in the books; but the fact that he abandoned them makes him rather a poor pleader. Go out in Dakota, though, into the wheat section of the northwest, if you want to know whether a man and a woman of alien speech can be lovers. Many of the wives there are Swedes, and they and their American husbands often can't undestand a word the other says. Yet they seem contented, happy and more loving than the aver- . age couple. Women in the wheat I section are the scarcest thing there is, you know; no women go . there but Swedish girls, imigrants I looking for places in kitchens. These girls are married in a short time after their arrival by the young farmers of the neighborhood. The husbandB are ! often educated fellowp, who at home would have counted on wedding the daughters of lawyers, physicians or clergymen. But out there, where women are so scarce, they are less par- : ticular. and they marry and are happy."— Philadelphia Record. DEWEY'S FLAG SHIP OLYMPIA-CAPTAIN GR1DLEY, COMMANDER.

You may have heard about SCOTT'S EMULSION and have a vague notion that it is cod-liver oil with its bad taste and smell and all its other repulsive features. It is cod-liver oil, the purest and the best in the world, but made so palatable that almost everybody can take it Nearly all children like it and ask for more. SCOTT'S EMULSION looks like cream; it nourishes the wasted body of the baby, child or adult better than cream or any other food in existence, ft a bears about the same rela- $ tion to other emulsions that % cream does to milk. If you have had any experience with other so-called "just as good" preparations, you will find that this is a fact The hypophoiphitei that are combined with the cod-liver oil jive additional vakie to it became they tone up the nervous system and impart strength to the whole body.

Eight years later Colinwood, having been invalided home, found his former servant living "iu clover."

DEPOT BURNED H « t A t Uakeland bast Wednesday Afternoon €ftortly after dinner last Wed. nesday, fire was discovered in the roof of the depot at Lakeland, near the stove pipe which served for a chimney. With Zukey Lake only a few feet away there was no way to put the water to use and it was not long before the boUdiny was seen to be doomed and all attention was given to the institution have been worked oat work of rescuing what could be TOpoved of ^ts contents. Host of the records of late da te were secured, with the telegraph instruments, etc. but the depot was a complete loss. The burned building was an old rattle shack good for Hamburg Junction in its old days but entirely outgrown by the progressive summer resort of Lakeland. It will probably be re placed by one which will be better fitted for the needs of the place.

It is farther stated that satisfactory results in exterminating porcupines have been obtained by this method. W&' ' M ;.

The president of the United States bblda the earliest New Year's Day reception.

The president by force of the eusrlaw of precedence is obliged to lde his reception into two parts, ne for officialdom and one for the '"laity." Precedence would not bo jfluch a powerful thing in Washington (were it not for the presence here of jeo many foreigners to whom prece- — jdenre is everything. The representatives of foreign governments would italce instant offenao and also would fcake means to show it if they were- - ijoot given the exact place in line to Which their Bervice rank entitles them.

Ily the special invitation of Mrs. Taft the wives of some of the more prominent •officials of Washington, with some of her close •acquaintances among the resident Washington families, are asked to become members of the -receiving party. The cabinet women always are present at the White House reception, taking their places at the right of Mrs. Taft in order af cabinet rank. The wife of the secretary of state takes the first place, and the wife of the •secretary of commerce and labor the last place. Cabinet positions rank in the order of the creation of the departments. With the president and in full uniform are the ?ouag army officer and navy officer aides. It Is Major Archibald Butt of the army who is Mr. l a f t ' s chief personal military attendant. It Is Itajor Butt's duty to repeat the name of each (vest as he or ebe is presented to the president, tad a bard duty it Is, for the major must catch *very whispered name as the visitor gives It to tlm and catch It correctly, for If he makes a Ittstake he Is likely to give offense to some person who thinks that his name ought to be known oven without the asking.

The members of the supreme court and the members of both houses of congress follow with army and navy officers in their handsome dress uniforms treading fast on their heels. Some one might ask why the army and navy do not take precedence of the civilian officials at New Year's receptions and other formal functions. To get the answer to tho question it is only necessary to remember that in a republic the military power is always supposed to bo subordinate to the civil power. The army ranks the navy because it was of earlier creation. The highest ranking officers of the army today are the lieutenant generals of the service, all of whom are now on the retired list, but their rank holds, nevertheless, because, although retired, they are still in the military service. Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, who unquestionably is the best-known living American soldier, resides in Washington. He still takes a most active interest in government affairs. About eighteen months ago the general was thrown from his horse while riding along the Potomac drive. Miles is a splendid horseman and it is said that his mishap was the first of the kind which bad happened to him in all the years of his service. It was feared that he would die from his injuries, but his splendid natural constitution, reinforced by the strength which comes from an abstemious life and from campaigning in the free air of the fields, helped him on to rapid recovery. Ho shows no sign today of the accident. The first officer In the holiday line of the soldiers still on the active list of the army is Major General Leonard Wood, now the chief of staff of the United States array. Only fourteen years ago Wood was a surgeon of the service, ranking as a captain. He became colonel of Rough Riders through the Influence of Theodore Roosevelt, and later McKlniey made him, a brigadier general of the line, from which position he rose to be a major generaL By the deaths or the retirements of ranking major generals, Wood is now at the head of the army There are three hundred army officers stationed in Washington., Every one of them, unless on sick report, Is compelled to he in line at the New Year's reception. A few days before the holiday an order Is Issued by the general commanding that ait officers of tho District of Columbia subject 'to duty shall pay their tespects to the president of the United states on the morning of the year's first day. If an 2& offlce* fails to put t i ,1b , ^ ^ * ****** appearance he is likely to be called to account for disobedience, a serious offense. The army in Its commissioned ranks is represented in Washington by details to general staff, to quartermaster, to commissary, to ordnance, to engineer and to arcillery work. Moreover, there are many officer students in the city who are taking "strategy" courses at the war colleges. The highest ranking officer of the active list of either armed service in Washington today is Admiral George Dewey. He holds his active rank for life. He is long past the general retiring age which is fixed for the navy at sixty-two years, but an act creating him full admiral carried with it the delegated right to remain on the active list as long as he should choose. Dewey is still in active service, although he no longer goes to sea. There Is no army officer of equal rank with Dewey. An admiral ranks with a general and there has been no full general of tho service since the days of the last great trio—Grant, Sherman and Sheridan. The official visitors to the White House on New Year's Day form In separate lines, the members of each department of government taking positions by themselves. The lines radiate from the front door of the executive mansion In a dozen different directions. The multitude of officials and sub-officials is so great that it would seem it would take hours for the president to greet each of Uncle Sam's servants separately and to call him by name, but the arrangements are perfect for expediting the line of march past what~might be called the reviewing stand. In two hours at the most the last official has been greeted and then the "laymen" are admitted -to--the presidential preae4ice^_Xear_Ailer-yearthn: sands of Washlngton_residents and visitors from afar take advantage of the holiday to" shake the president's hand and to exchange a word of greeting. Men, women and children are in the line. Some of the men In frock coats and Bilk hats, some of the women In fetching morning apparel, but for the most part it is the workaday portion of the populace which files into the great east room to say the Happy New Year word, Colored people are numerous, for ln~"Washington they form at least" one-third of the population, and many of them seek th'e White House on the holiday. It is a pic- All was a."son of the sheik, and was a handsome young cavalier, although the desert sun had burned him almost as black as a negro. His costume was that of a regular Turkish soldier-—a dirty blue coat with tarnished brass buttons, dirtier blue trousers just short enough to show u considerable amount of dirty brown ankle above the dirty yellow slippers. But, as a free son of the desert All, refused to wear the fez of Turkish supremacy, and bound his flowing kafuyyeh with the horsehair ring of the Arabs. A long scimitar, inland with silver and gold, clattered bravely afjainst the saddle-bags, and a rainbow- hued sash was stuck full of antique pistols and short, sharp knives. There was nothing servile or shoddy, however, about Sheik All's bearing; no false regrets lor the boule*- vards and 'buses of an effete civilization; but a supremo content with lif.> as Allah had ordered it. AH had two chief assets: a good horse and a good voice. The former he rode at a breakneck pace, with jiis accoutrements rattling like the pans of a runaway peddler. Once in a while, however, All would graciously wait for the carriage and, after inquiring anxiously concerning our distinguished healths, would canter along with us for a few rods, singing to himself in a pathetic minor key. They were no hackneyed music hall dittieB that he sang, for every Arab is a poet and an improvisator. A moment of intense, frowning thought, and then All would raise his head and gurgle out a new distich of Arabic gutturals, Ho sang of the speed of his horse and of the barley in the khan at. Jericho; he sang of the beautiful weather—it would have been about a hundred in the shade, if there had been any shade—he sang of the magnificent honorableness of the Englezee gentlemen; and especially he praised the Immense oakrsheesh which the generous- travelers would surely bestow at the end' of. his journey,— Lewis Gaston \Leary in Scribner's Magazine. • • .tL'PL'i' • - J».--1-LMJMI 1 Storm Note.

Not more frequently than once in the span of a man's life does the court of claims at Washington Contribute anything to add to the gayety of nations, but there is something of the light of humor stowed away in ono of the documents which accompany the court's findings in the matter of the claim of Edward Cruselle. heir-at-law of Thomas Cruselle, deceased, against 'TJncle Sam. Mr. Cruselle made a claim for payment for certain supplies furnished to the United States by the tes_tatpr_."for use for the suppression of the 'rebellion.'" as the legal documents stated it. The goods which Mr. Cruselle owned and which were seized by the government and subsequently used by the Union troops as a means of crushing their Confederate brethren were "sixty-seven boxes of fine chew baeeo.' ammunition were "Early Dew," "Choice Gem" and "Peach Leaf." The members of the court rather dodged the tobacco issue. They simply found that Mr. Cruselle was loyal to the United States and that the "Early Dew," "Peach Leaf" and the rest were seized under General Shermaja^ fj^j^us_"fj3rj^^Jib£rallycoimtry" order.

Wedding presents have for years f been a trial both to the donors who cannot think what to send and to the recipients who are compelled to accept what they do not like. A bright notion would be to have a collection at the church (In a bag, not a plate) for the benefit of the young couple, to which each friend might contribute the amount of money he would have spent on a perhaps unappreciated offering. This would save him the terrible worry of choosing something suitable, and the bride and bridegroom the hypocrisy of being grateful for articles they would rather have been without. Shopkeepers would no longer be called upon to supply wares which appear to cost more than they do, and affection and Incomes would cease to be estimated by the value of the gifts tbey produce, since the latter would be anonymous.

Elev of/on s/r<>w'/*<f end of ftVSS and An implement and machine shed","a truss and details of which are shown S n j h e accompanying cut^ is designed with three things in mind; viz., suitability to the purpose for which it is to be used, ease of construction, and low cost. At the outset it is assumed that a clear space in the building unobstructed by posts and beams would be especially desirable for the purpose in view. Many of the maohines and implements in use on the farm, while comparatively light, occupy a great 4*G1 of space and can be stored most economically by crowding tobether these likely to be in use at the same time. This can be done when the intenor is open and free, which,allows them to be moved in any direction to the best advantage: Another/ thing to be considered in this connection is the dimensions of doors and openings. It it not considered advisable to make th« doors less than twelve feet wide au-i ten high. Perhaps the ideal construction would be doors arranged to be continuous oc, so that they might be opened at any convenient point for putting in and taking out machinery. In the matter of construction the StA roof and is intended for pateut roofing only, this being considered of low cost and satisfactory on a building of this type. On a roof having a muoh greater slope than this it would be necessary to use rafters instead of purlins. The timber in the frame should be of strong native wood or southern pine. Hemlock is not considered safe where it must carry any great load. It is considered essential to have a good deep foundation vMil under the building and to hav» ifre building firmly anchored to it. The foundation wall need not be built across the driveways. The iengtfc. Of t h e building and the width may he made to suit conditions, but it Is &1- vised that a building framed like <be one above be made not wider than tfrs dimensions given. 7'he trusses shouM also be placed not more than twelVt) feet apart. A length of 48 feet woult? be about a minimum for the widtJv given. This would require five trussed 4nd could be arranged to have doors on either side, and two driveways adjoining. It would be well in many cases to partition off a workshop in this building. This workshop would be convenient to most of the repair work. An earth floor can be used if good drainage can be had, or a rough concrete floor can be made with little cost where the material can be easily obtained. A proportion of 1-3-6 of cement, sand and gravel, or 1-8 of cement and gravel wilt be satisfactory where the latter can be obtained with the size of grains graded from fine to coarse. No top dressing will be necessary. The material for a building of the size suggested would cost from $150 to 3250, depending upon location and kind of lumber used. This size should be adequate to accommodate most of the machinery on a 160-acre farm. A sh^il for the smaller farm, built after tPu same plan, could of course be buiU for very much less. that litfrle exact work or careful fit ting is required to obtain a reasonably good job. The trusses can be laid out and assembled on the ground and are not so heavy but that they can be erected by four or five men without difficulty. The weight per trr.ps ready to erect will be from 600 to 1,200 pounds. The trusses be- —Ing Bet up and braced temporarily, the plates, braces, and girts are easily put up and spiked In place.

It is caused by a variety of the same germ that produces tuberculosis in cattle and consumption in man. The symptoms are gradual emaciation, unthriftiness, anemia, perhaps lameness, with death after a period of weeks or months. The disease manifests itself in the shape of grayish nodules in the wall of the intestines,, liver, spleen and elsewhere. There is no practical means of diagnosis except by post mortem examination;— Na-treatraent is possible.

The increased cost of hauling over unimproved roads is an immense -tax upon the farmer and those who purchase his products, and is a restriction on the crops which can be raised and moved in certain localities. The Interstate Commerce commission finds that two hundredranrr sixty Ave million tons of agricultural, forest and miscellaneous products of the land are hauled to depots for shipment in the course of a year. Figured Dn a basis of the average haul at the lowest average rate over unimproved roads, 23 cents per ton per mile, the ^ost would be four-hundred-thirtytwo millions, four hundred thousand iollars. If the hauling could be rejuced to one-half the present average ar l i y a c a ton, the resultant saving would exceed $200,000,000 a year. " That such a saving is reasonable is indicated by the experiences in other countries and in localities where improved roads are found. The cost of hauling on such improved roads is placed at from 8 to 10 cents per ton. The introduction of wise and equitable road laws and good business -raajiagemont w-ould, it is—e&amatedV jave forty million dollars more in the idminfstration of the country's roads 3r leave it for some other use. ARTICHOKE FOR THE TABLE Vegetable Can Be Grown In Almost Any Garden and Makes Most Delicious Change in the Dishes. The artichoke, which can be grown In almost any garden, makes a deiclous- change in the vegetable dishes 'or the table. The plant is perennial, but declines rapidly, and should be reset every three years. It is propagated from seed, and the suckers are set out, producing edible aeads tne second year. The heads ire from three to four inches in dl- Artlchoke. ameter, and are ready to cut for the table just before they open. For pickling, the heads are often taken when about half grown. The leaves are sometimes blanched and eaten, and these form the salad plants which are seen on the market. POSt M r-^-^-.

The failure of the hay crop during the paBt two seasons has brought the corn crop into the limelight and its good qualities have been praised.until there is very little to be added. Right Time to Da; Work Is Late in Fall When Cold Weather Has Set in and Vegetation Dry. (By GEORGB/H, GL1TZKE.) A great many people have the mistaken idea that the time to burn the roadside in order to kill the many in s e e l s that winter in these placet, isi in the early spring of the year. If you will watch closely at such a place where the roadside has been burned in the spring you will see the insects coming out of the ground very thickly on the warm days. This proves that the insects wero not kiUed. Most of them are in the ground and the heat of the fire passing over them does not harm them and the trash burned from above them m a k e s it ail the easier for the insects to come forth. While no doubt a few of them are killed the majority of them are uninjured. The right time to burn these road sides to do effective work is in the late fall of the year, after the cold weather has already set in and all the tender vegetation is dry. T h e n n if the roadsides are burned, the insects in such places will be killed by heavy freezing, as they usually do n o t g o very-deeply into the..ground but seem to depend on the covering of trash to protect them from the cold. This is a great bit more effective in the killing of the insects than the spring burning. Not only does the fall burning of the roadsides do good by the killing of the insects that winter there, but it a.so helps to keep the *oad in better fc'iape by allowing less Bnow ta collect in the drifts as it usually, does in places where there is much grass and weeds. STICK TO THE FANNING MILL Fix Up the Harnot*. N o w is a good time to look over the work harness that have been in u s e all summer and make note bf the repairr. needed before beginning an* other season By Grading Our Own Seed We Can Materially Increase Yield of Our Small Grain Crops. No farmer can get! any one to tako the same plans in grading his seed that he would himself. Some farmers claim that it does not pay to-clean grain. ' It is a fact that it does not pay very large returns to clean and grade grain before selling it, but by grading our own seed w e can materially inisrease th^ yield of our small grain crops. The corn crop of this country has been increased millions of bushels by Fanning Mill, intelligent seed selection. All other grain crops can be improved by grading the seed, so (hat only good, plump, healthy grains, free from all foul weed-seeds may bo grown. The fannlng-mill, judiciously used, will do much to increase the"yield-of every small grain-crop and assist in keeping our fields free from noxious weeds. It will take cockle out of wheat buckthorn, plantain out of clover, in fact it can be adjusted so as to handle all kinds of grain and weed-seeds. If you decide that it pays to sow good seed and to keeiryour "fields free fro;u noxious weeds, then do not hesitate to invest a few dollars in a fan niug mill. 9 00 DROPS ALCOrfOL-3 PER CENT AVefctabk Preparation Tor Assimilating (he Food and Regulating the Stomachs and Bowels of I N T A N T t s / f H I L U K l .

This is because the cut surfaces of the fiough do not sear over, but rather leave the pores open, allowing the ieavening gas to escape and the heat to penetrate readily. Small ovens cool quickly; therefore they should be made teveral degrees hotter than a larger •oven, and the less the door ia opened the better. Do not attempt to bake bread and pastry together. Bread requires prolonged, moderate baking— pastry the reverse. Have a strong underheat for baking powder preparations, especially pastry.

A m e n . 1 WWWWWWWWWWWWWUfHOrigin of New Year Gifts Like the customs of Christmas, which, in their origin, are a curious mixture of poetry and symbolism and of superstition, .those that belong to the observance of New Year's day are also relics of ideas that date from early heathen ages. The French derive their term for New Year presents from the Latin word, Strenia, the name of a goddess whom the Romans venerated as the patroness of gifts. There was a grove in Rome dedicated to this goddess, where it was customary to get fresh twigs, to give as presents to friends and relatives on New Year's day. During the sway of the emperors, Roman subjects made New Year's gifts to their sovereign. Augustus received such quantities of these that he had gold and silver statues made of them. Tiberius did away with the usage, because he considered it too troublesome to express thanks for the gifts. Caligula, on the eoatrary- reintroduced the custom, and even made up for his predecessor's re fusal to receive presents by requiring those that had been offered to him to be given to himself as arrearages. The custom of making New Year's gifts, notwithstanding attempts to suppress it, was continued after Europe had become ChrlstjajL-Eor a time present making was transferred_to Easter, but later It was again associated with the first day of January. _ JBatQfiM^dme — The passing of years is like, the coming of dawn—slow, silent, Inevitable. The most eager cannot hasten, the quiet, irresistible movement, and the most reluctant cannot forbid. Some gifts the years bring which we would fain decline—age, sorrow, disappointment. Some treasures they take which we would keep forever—youth, beauty, Innocence. But there are more precious treasures which time cannot supply and the years cannot r e m o v e - friendship, patience, faith and love,— Herbert L. Willett.

"I'll be the bride." said Jaquc-liue Woodruff, a girl who was always tir t and foremost in any pratu. "And I'll be the groom," said Waitir gallantly since he was standing beside her at the moment, and all eyos were turned upon him. Pew young people realize tbat it i> dangerous to trifle with a wedding, but it Is. So Walter Nixon and Jaqueline Woodruff stood up. One of the young uicti of the party asked if they would lake each other for husband and wife Walter took a seal ring off his fln^ft and put it on that of Jaqueline. th<' man who was officiating pronounced them man and wife, and, amid many Jokes and much laughter, they received congratulations from the others. No one considered it anything more than an escapade, and when a new amusemput was proposed the speeta tors forgot all about the first. A few days later Miss Woodruff, on opening her mail, read a note from Walter Nixon, beginning "My dear wife." It contained an invitation 1e the theater and several facetious re remarks as to her duty toward the writer as her husband.

A correspondent recently reported •what he described as the "curiou* freak" of a blackbird flying against s parlor window many times' at the u m e s p o t Such an Incident Is not uncommon. Birds have been known to fight for hours at a time, day after day, with their own image reflected ID a pace of glass, pecking and fluttering against the pane and quite exhausting themselves In their fury to demolish the supposed rival. It is anoth er instance of how the arts of our civilization corrupt and confuse the birds. It is the same with fishes. Darwin tells a story of a pike in an aquarium separated by plate glass from fish which were its proper food. In trying to get at the fish the pike would often dash with such violence against the glass as to be completely stunned. It did this for more than three months before it learned caution. Then when the glass was removed the pike would not attack those particular fishes, but would devour others freshly Introduced. It did not at ail understand the situation, but associated the punishment it bad received not with the glass, but with a particular kind of fish. Darwin's American monkeys proved themselves more "knowing." When they cut themselves once with any sharp tool they would not touch it again or else would handle it with the greatest caution. Thus they gave evidence of toe simpler forms of reason of which monkeys are no doubt capable,-but birds are evidently lacking in reasoning powers.

The most recent International gossip that (he duke de Vizeu has fallen heir to the role of the Portuguese pretender, and Js endeavoring to so interest an American woman that she will back up bis efforts with her money (her daughter Is his wife) must amuse the ex-king, says the Cincinnati Times- Star. Those c\cmt to him say he is most frank in declaring that he has no anxiety to gain his throne again—Just yet. Portugal, according to Rev. Dr. Gaster, —who—hrsald-to-fcnow—the.-situation, "will not be a republic Jcng." But Dr. Gaster believes that if the throne is regained it will be for Manuel, not the Duke de Vizeu. Meanwhile the young Braganza, doing his own thinking, makes use of that .excellent old saying: "Patience—and shuffle the cards." The old question, "Do lightning rods protect?" has been referred to Thomas A. Edison. Rnd Mr. Edison replies: "One or more metallic conductors at least one quarter inch in diameter of either iron or copper, without Joints, when connected to a proper amount- "of meta 1IIc surface connected with a permanently damp earth, will certainly protect a house from being affected by lightning. Any metallic surface on roofs, etc.. when connected with rods, will increase protection." That ought to settle that. Not long ago a New York tea drinker was reported as saying that 60 cents' worth of tea would make twice as many cups of beverage as the same .value represented in coffee. This has brought forth a calculation showing still more In favor of the economy of tea. A pound of coffee that costs the public 30 cents, it Is asserted, will make only 45 cups of good coffee, while a pound of tea, costing 60 cents, will make 26 to 600 cups of tea. 80 tea coats from one-fourth to one-third as much as coffee.

This Is a decrease In the 1913 e s t i m a t e s from that of the 1912 estimates of $7.921,9%.99. As to the postal revenues, the expansion of the business in t h a t d e p a r t m e n t , •he normal Increase in the posit office and the extension of the service, will Increase tho outlay to tho sum of ?2fiO,fO,- 4G3; but as the d e p a r t m e n t was self-sustaining this year the p o s t m a s t e r general Is a s s u r e d that next year the receipts will a t least e<jual the expenditures, and probably exceed them by more than the surplus of this yj&ar. It Is l!air and CQU-Uable, therefore, In determining the economy with whioh the government IIUM been run, to exclude the t r a n s a c t i o n s of a dep a r t m e n t like tho post office department, which relies for Its support upon its receipts.

T h e congress h a s Itself a r r a n g e d an early introduction of this great question t h r o u g h the r e p o r t of Its m o n s t a r y commission. This commission was appointed to recommend a solution of the b a n k i n g and c u r r e n c y problems so\. long confronting the nation and to furnish the facts and d a t a n e c e s s a r y t o enable tho congress to t a k e action. In order to do its work with t h o r o u g h - ness a n d precision t h i s commission h a s taken some time to m a k e its report. T h e c o u n t r y Is undoubtedly h o p i n g for a s p r o m p t action on the report a s the conveniences of t h e congress c a n permit. The recognition of the gross imperfections a n d m a r k e d Inadequacy of our b a n k i n g a n d currency system even in our most quiet financial periods Is of long s t a n d i n g ; and later there h a s m a t u r e d a recognition of the fact t h a t o u r system lc responsible for the e x t r a o r d i n a r y devastation, w a s t e and business p a r a l y s i s of our r e c u r r i n g periods of pe.nic.

Governor Believes Chances of Reformation Are Greater During Prison Term Under Parole. Emulating Hazen S. Plngree, Michigan's famous pardoning governor, who believed that the chances for reformation in a convict were greater after he had lx?en given his liberty than during his confinement hehind prison bars, Gov. Osborn, acting in conjunction with the state pardon board, gave 18 conditional pardons and paroies to the inmates of the various penal institutions in Michigan, in order that the men may cat Christmas dinner with their friends and families and begin the New Year with a clean slate. Each case has been thoroughly investigated and the recipients of the bits of parchment that allow the convicts to leave the prisons as free men are worthy of executive clemency, Gov. Osborn points to the fact that the men who are released will lose their liberty if their parole is violated in any way. County Homes i:i Unsanitary State. Secretary M. T. Murray of the state board of corrections and charities has prepared a report in which he claims infirmaries of the state, in many instances, are in a shocking condition. 4,A large number of infirmaries," says the report, "are constructed without regard to convenience, sanitation or a proper segregation of sexes and defectives. The rule is that many institutions which were adequate when established are now , overcrowded or have ben extended haphazard.

"A bill for a rural parcels post is a delusion and a sr.are. I question the government's right to legislate for one class of citizens or for one part of the country and not another.

" 'Bout de time yo' all went up on do hill, 1 reck'n.—I—done~-come—right yere, and waited." Keith walked across the room, selected a cigar, and came back, bis mind busy with the problem. Hawley had in some manner, then, got into communication with Waite, and was threatening hfm. But Waite evidently knew the man under another name— his given came—and the gambler had sent him off on a false trail. The lost papers apparently contained the solution to all this mystery. Walte believed Hawley possessed them, but did not suspect that Bartlett and Hawley were the same person. What -would be most naturally do now? Seek Hawley in Topeka probably; seize the first opportunity of getting there. Keith turned impatiently to , t t j clerk. , "Any train running east?" '"Well, they generally start one out •very day." with a glance toward the •lock, " long 'bout this time. Maybe It's gone, and maybe it hasn't." Jt was already nearly dark outside as the two men hastened toward tbo depot' They arrived there barely In time fo see the red lights on the last car disappear. No Inquiries made or those lounging about brought results —they had been interested in a rot ot drunke* graders londari cs the flat e a f » ^ 4 « t c e , and sent out under ' Tt»ot one could tell whether iwering Walte's descrlphi the single passenger Convinced, however, that the General would waste no time in prosecuUag his search, Keith believed him already on bis way east, and after dismissing Neb, with Instructions to watch cut closely for Hawley, be made his own way back to the hotel. It seamed strange enough how completely bo was.blocked each time, just at ha thought the whole baffling mystery was about to be mad* clear. Hawley was playing In rare luck, all the cards running easily to bit hand, thus, at least, gaining time, and strengthening Ms position.* There could no longer be any doubt that the gambler possessed some knowledge which made him a formidable adversary. From Wsite's statement it waa the lota ol the eapert which left him helpless to openly resist the claim being mad* upon him on behalf of the mysterious J»JHT!HS Hlsoaly hope, therefore, lay In recovering these; but, with time limited, he had been sent back on a wild goose cha?e, while Keith alone knew, with any degTee of posltiveness, where those documents really were. Hawley certainly had them in his possession the day before, for he had taken thera to Miss Maclaire to thus convince her as to the truth of his statements. And Hawley was still in Sheridan. However, it was not likely the man would risk carrying documents of such value, and documeuts connecting him so closely with that murder on the Santa Fe Trail, about upon his person. At best, life was cheap in that community, and Black Bart must possess enemies In plenty. Yet if not on hiB person— where? Scott was only a tool, a mere Igmoraht desperado, not to be trusted trt such a degree—yet apparently he vas the only one working with the gambler in this deal, the only one cognizant as to his plans. Christie— Keith came to a stop in the street at (he recurrence of the woman's name. Why not? If she had been convinced, if she really believed that these papers proved her right to both property and parentage, then she would guard them as a tigress does her young. And Hawley would know that, and must realize they would be far safer in her hands than in his pocket. She could not use them without his aid and guidance, and yet, whatever happened to him they would still be safely beyond reach. True, this might not have been done; the gambler might not yet have felt that he had sufficient hold upon the woman to trust her thus far, but it was, at least, a possibility to be considered, and acted upon. Still wrestling with the Intricate problem, Keith entered the diningroom, and weaved his way, as usual, through the miscellaneous crowd, toward the more exclusive tables at the rear. A woman sat alone at one of these, her back toward the door. His first thought was that it must be Hope, and he advanced toward her. his heart throbbing. She glanced up, a slight frown wrinklinu her foreheal, and he bowed, recognizing Christie Maclaire. Ueve that, i—I have heard it whispered it might be because of the other girl." "The other girl!" in complete surprise at this swift return. "Yes, sir," conscious of having attained the upper hand. "Miss Hope Waite." "Some more of Mr. Hawley's fancies," he retorted, perplexed that so much should be suspected. "Have you soen her?" "Why, of course. I am a woman, Mr. Keith, with all the natural curloalty of my sex. In this case I had special reason to be Interested. One does not meet her counterpart every dny." "The resemblance between you Is certainly most striking." "Sufficiently so." she said slowly, her eyes on his face, "to abundantly confirm in my mind the truth of all that has been told me." The waiter approached with the orders, and the two remained in silence until he had deposited his load upon the table, and departed. She was watching the face opposite through lowered lashes that veiled her eyes, but Keith was first to break the stillness. "I wish I might be told what that was." "To what do you refer?" apparently forgetful as to where their conversation had been broken. "To Hawley's proposition." "No doubt," her lips smiling, "but you have_come to the wrong market. Mr. Jack Keith." "Yet," be insisted earnestly, "if this is all straight, with no fraud concealed anywhere, if you have the proofs in your hands, why are you afraid to talk openly? The very manner in which Hawley works should convince you he is himself afraid to face the truth." "No, you are wrong. There are perfectly satisfactory reasons why we should for the present keep our plans CHAPTER X X V I . ' ^ * A Chance Conversation. The opportunity thus so unexpectedly afforded was not one to be wasted, and Keith accepted it with Bwlft determlnation. The expression in the woman's face was scarcely one of welcome, yet his purpose was sufficiently serious to cause him to ignore this with easy confidence in himself. _ "I am, Indeed, most fortunate to discover you alone, Miss Maclaire," he said, avoiding her eyes by a swift glance over the table, "and evidently at a time when you are only beginning your meal. May I join you?" She hesitated for an instant, debatlng with herself, and as quickly dej. ciding on disagreeable tactics. "I presume this is a public table, and I consequently have little choice in the matter, if you Insist," she replied, her voice more civil than her words. "Still, Mr. Keith, I am not accustomed to associating with criminals." He smiled, holding his temper in check, more than ever determined to win. "Then, possibly, you may rather welcome a new diversion, I can assure you our criminals out here are the most interesting portion of our population. I wish I might have your permission." Standing there before her, bareheaded, his slightly tanned face strong and manly, his gray eyes filled with humor, Miss Maclaire recognized again that he was not of the common herd, and the innate coquetry of her nature obtained mastery. What harm could It <?o for her to chat with him for half an hour? It was better than eating a lonely meal, and, besides, she might learn something of value to report to Hawley. Her own eyes brightened, the slight frown disappearing "You are certainly an illustration of your theory," she said pleasantly. "I shall have to say yes, but, really, I did not suppose you would enjoy being ranked among that class." He drew out a chair, and sat down facing her, leaning slightly forward upon the intervening table. "Nor would I, only I recognize you do not comprehend. The source of your information is a bit polluted. Miss Maclaire, There are those whose good opinion I do not seek, and you should not form your decisions on the unsupported testimony of a personal enemy." "Oh. indeed," rather resenting the words, and already regretful of her compliance. "Surely I have as much reason to trust my informant as I have you. He, at least, hat proven himself a friend." "1 wish I could feel at fully assure*] of that as you do," he returned Honestly. "I would then have every temptation to meddle 'urtfrer taken away from me. Do you realise that my interest tt very largely upon your aocouatr "Oh. no," laughing, "l oouldat be- "V about that. They were entrusted to him by an old man whom he discovered sick in Independence, and who died in his rooms three years ago. Mr. Hawley has been searching ever since for the old man's granddaughter. It is remarkable how be was finally convinced that I was the one." "A photograph, was it not?" A gleam of sudden suspicion appeared in the brown eyes, a slight change in facial expression. "That was a clue. yes. but far from being all. But why should I tell you this?— you believe nothing t say." "I believe that you believe; that you are fully convinced of the justice of your claim. Perhaps It is just, but I am suspicious of anything .which Bart Hawley has a hand in. Miss Christie, you really make me wish to retain your friendship, but I cannot do so if the cost Includes faith in Hawley. Do you know that is not even his name—that he lives under an alias?" "Is there anything strange In that out here?" she asked stoutly. "I told you how deeply he regretted his life; that alone would be sufficient cause for him to drop his family name. Did j you ever learn his true name?" He was not surf?—only as Neb had ! reported what Waite had called the [man, yet ventured a direct reply. [ "Bartlett, I believe—he uses It now as a prefix." "Bartlett!—Bartlett!" her hands clasping, and unclasping nervously. "Why, what a strange coincidence!" - "How? What do you mean?" "Oh, nothing—nothing." bitting her lips In vexation. "The name merely recalled something. But really, I must go. Mr. Keith, or I shall bo late at the theater. You have not attended since 1 came?" "No.," arising from the table with her. "However. I have heard you sing before, and hope I may again." "How tenderly you dwell on that word 'hope/ " she said banterlngly, "It almost makes me envious." "Your resemblance almost makes mo forget." "But not quite?"' "No, not quite," he confessed, smiling l;ack Into her quizzing eyes. They went out into the hall together, only to meet with Doctor Falrbain itt-the door. Tire latter staretr~nt the "I Like Many People Whom Perhaps I Ought Not, Including You, Mr. Jack Keith." secret There are details yet to be decided upon, and Mr. Hawley's present objection to publicity is only ordinary prudence." She leaned toward him, her fingers playing nervously with a knife. "Mr. Keith, I cannot help but like you, and I also feel most kindly disposed toward Mr. Hawley. I wish in this I was no longer compelled to consider you an enemy- of us-bothr There is no reason why I should, except for your blind prejudice against thJs other man who is my friend. I know you have some cause, for he has told roe the entire story, yet I am,sure he did no more than his actual duty. He let me realize how very sorry he was that the marshal at Carson City bad called upon him for assistance." "Who? Hawley?" Keith questioned, hardly trusting his own ears. "Yes; indeed he is a very different man from what you have been led to believe. I know he is a gambler, and all that, hut really It is not altogether his fault He told me about his life, and It was very sad. He was driven from home when only a boy, and naturally drifted into evil company. His one ambition Is to break away, and redeem himself, t am to anxious to help him, and wish you could realize his purpose, as I do, and become his friend. Won't you, for my take? Why, even in this affair he has not the slightest mercenary purpose—he has only thought of what was rightfully mine." Keith listened, feeling to the full the woman's earnestness, the impossibility of changing her fixed conviction. Hawley had planted his seed deep and well in fruitful soil. "You o c k e a strong and charming advocate. Miss Maclaire." he returned, feeling the necessity of saying something. "1 should like to have you equally earnest on my side. Tet it will be hard to convince me that 'Black Bart' is the paragon of virtue yo» describe. 1 with 1 might believe tor your take.

The senate confirmed a majority of the Warner appointments, and after the close of the session Gov. Osborn kset out to make appointments of men to replace some of those holding office by virtue of the action of the senate, Haggerty and Phillips both took their cases to the supreme court, and the opinions handed down deal with these two cases exclusively, but attorneys claim that the opinion will have u direct bearing on the balance of the Warner recens appointments.

"Certainly—you—went to the room —then to the clerk—said you were In at supper—just occurred to me Btreets here bad at night—thought I'd ask you to let me escort you to theater and back—a bit of lunch later—" he glanced suspiciously at Keith— "probably got here too late."

But I do like him—someway I like so many people whom perhaps I ought not, including you, Mr. Jack Keith. Please think over what I told you about Mr. Hawley, won't you?" "Certainly; you have given me food for thought 1 presume he Is to be your escort?" She bowed, evidently resenting the question. "Yes, and it may interest you to know that he has something of the utmost importance to tell me to-nighthe has actually seen my guardian. Don't you wish you could be there?" She gave him a tantalizing smile, withdrawing her hand, and running up the stairs before he could answer. Over the railing of the landing she glanced down, and then disappeared. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The term, "dry farming" does not indicate all that might be implied. It does not mean a system of irrigation, but one where al! *tpe rain fall and precipitation is stored up and conserved in the soil, to be drawn upon by scientific and saae processes whisn it may be required to forward and increase the growth of grain. In certain sections of the Canadian. West as well as in the American West, there is a portion of the country in which the soil is the very best for the growing of cereals, but the geographical locations and relative position to the rain avenues, do not give the advantage that other parts possess in the matter of precipitation. Agricultural science, however, haw been making rapid progress during the past few years, and it is now ascertained that It is not altogether the number of inches of rain that is essential to the growing of crops, but its conservation, and that is the meaning of "Dry farming." "Dry Farming" may well be applied to dla-; trlcts where there is a heavy rain fall and better results will follow. The education of the public into these new methods, not new exactly, but such as have had satisfactory demonstra-. tlon, is not alone the purpose of these dry-farming Congresses. One idea is to bring into life and into operation the great areas of splendid land lying within what might be termed semiarid, without placing them under the restrictive and expansive process of irrigation. The Congresses aro attended by thousands and they bring representatives from all parts of the world. The- Province of Alberta, and also of Saskatchewan, has taken a vital interest in the Congresses which have been held in the past two or three years..,.. The Province of Alberta has made provincial exhibits, districts have shown their products, and last year, several hundred dollarB were taken in 'Lprizes; this year the Province of Alffberta took prizes ten to one in excess of any state In the Union. Alberta has won eight out of twenty special cups, that province taking one, Lethbridge one, Arthur Perry six, and John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying off one sweepstakes. When It came to> a matter of location for the Congress for 1912, the City of Lethbrldge, which had put up a splendid fight for it, secured the Congress by a unanimous vote. It is expected that the Lcthbridgo Congress will be the largest yet held aird will be the biggest convention in the history of Western Canada. In emphasizing his Invitation to Lethbridge, one of the speakers said he had just received a telegram from MagranrTneur Lethbrldge) stating that of ono thousand acres of wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and Bradshaw had thrashed 47,000 bushels. , Literature sent out recently by tho Canadian Government Agents, which will be sent postage free on application, tells of hundreds of gpIendjjL- "'''12 factory feature of the situation is the fact that, contrary to past experience, the six powers now practically aro united in their aimr, and desire regarding China.

State Highway Commissioner Outlines Plans for Work. • • • • • • s < WILL OBTAIN FEDERAL AID Legislature WilJ Be Asked to Appropriate $450,000, Half Amount Government Will Spend on State Highways. t , Lansing.—With plans outlined for fin extensive campaign of road building in Michigan during the coming >ear, State Highway Commissioner F r a n k Rogers has prepared bills to be introduced at the opening of the legislature, which provides machinery whereby Michigan can take a d v a n t a g e of the federal law which gives government aid to trunk-line highways. To aid in the construction of federal roads Rogers will ask the legisl a t u r e for an appropriation of $450,- 000 for the next two years. This is approximately one-half the amount the federal government will spend on the construction of trunk-line highways in Michigan, during the next two years, according to the state highway commissioner, whose bill has been approved by one of the federal governm e n t ' s road experts. Under the t e r m s of the bill drafted by Rogers and approved by the federal government, counties working under the so-called county road system and having a valuation per trunk line mile of $100,000 and less, shall pay 25 |>er cent of the cost of federal-aided roads, the state and federal governm e n t paying t h e remainder. Counties h a v i n g , a valuation per t r u n k line mile of $200,000 shall pay 30 per cent, t h e s t a t e and federal government paying the remainder. Counties having a valuation per trunk line mile between $200,000 and $300,000 shall pay 85 per cent, the state and federal gove r n m e n t s to pay the remainder. Counties having a valuation per trunk line mile between $300,000 and $400,000 ©hall pay 40 per cent, t h e s t a t e and federal government to pay the remainder. Counties baving a valuation between $400,000 and $500,000 shall pay 45 per cent of the cost, the s t a t e and federal governments to pay t h e remainder. Counties having a valuation p e r trunk line mile of $500,000 per mile and upward shall pay 50 per cent, t h e state nnd federal governments to pay the remainder. Michigan Troops C t ^ ' r s Ho/ne.

Michigan state banks and t r u s t companies show a gain In aggregate business of $30,8:45,751.28 since September 12, 11)10, according to the report of F r a n k W. Merrick, state banking commissioner. For the two months' period, following September 12, 1910, the s t a t e hanks, 485 in number, and seven t r u s t companies show commercial and savings deposit increases amounting to $28,343,4;J3.80, while for the same period loans increased $21,717,421.90. However, this showing is small considered with the showing made in a year period, for the Report shows that during the past year t h e state banks and trust companies had a total increase in deposits of $114,498,552.44 and an increase In loans of $93,427,- 745.44, with capital stock increases for t h e same period amounting to $3,961,- 465. Of the net increase in deposits for the past year, $49,354,421.23 was In commercial deposits and $65,144,- 131.21 in savings deposits. T h a t the banks themselves enjoyed a period of prosperity is evidenced from the report, which shows net earnings of the state b a n k s and trust companies for the year ending J u n e 80, 1910, to have been $6,188,14Z.49, or 0.23 per cent on average capital, surplus, undivided profits and deposits of ,$508,930,365.08. T h e r e w a s paid in divi d e n d s $3,653,554.90, or 6.58 per cent on an'average capital and surplus of $5,- 486,372.32. That the banking business is not all profit, however, is shown by the report, ~in which figures give a total of £1,675,874.30 cnarged off on account of bosses, bad debts, e t c Interest paid for the past year amounted to $10,- fe80,30&27, expenses paid totaled $6,- 177,878.78, taxes paid $1,057,980.92, w h i l e the gross earnings totaled $25,- fft~686m ' Some idea of the magnitude of the amounts of money Intrusted to banks la M l ^ f * can bo gained from the Opposes Tax Chang*. T h e suggestion that the specific tax on the railroads awl public utilities, now used for the p a y m e n t of school teachers' salaries, be taken for the general expense of r u n n i n g the s t a t e government, has considerable opposition among\ certain s t a t e officers, led by Auditor General O. B. Fuller. Some time ago S t a t e T r e a s u r e r John \V. H a a r e r advanced the plan, and now, according to former Senator George Lord of Detroit, it is to be suggested tu the legislature by the Michigan s t a t e tax conference. "I think that; propositi on is foolish," says Fuller, "and it would be absolutely useless to spring it. They tried It at the last constitutional convention and it was hardly heard of after discussion started. It Is true t h a t the specific tax raises a big sum for the primary schools, but at the s a m e time you must remember t h a t the abolition of t h a t fund for schools would increase the school tax throughout the s t a t e about 50 per cent." report, which of course includes only f Saolnawlan Fellows Aid. tfce stato banks and trust companies, which show a total deposit of $510,- 4I8A8&41, which is divided as follows: tfibercfsJ deposits subject to check, ^jg>79y08LS*; comisorrfil certificates of deposit, fMjMM»T21; state moneys m deposit $1*17,6*440; postal savtecs, *U4*867.4B; savlnts deposits, -i*0tSBuaijmMi sffUMs osrtliostes of Phthisis Hard to Catch. It is hard to "catch" tuberculosis, the state board of h e a l t h tuberculosis survey workers declare, in spite of the fact t h a t they e s t i m a t e there are between 20,000 and 30,000 cases of the disease In Michigan. "It sounds absurd to say t h a t it is h a r d to catch tuberculosis," said Dr. WUJIam De Kleine, "but it Is a fact. If t h a t were not the case most of us would have the disease. T h e tuberculosis germ is hard to grow even in the laboratory under favorable condltions, and after it h a s been grown it easily dies. In most cases a person catches the disease because either through his own fault, through the fault of others, or through the fault of conditions, he forces himself upon the disease instead of the disease forcing itself on him. Alcohol or overwork or oxygen starvation or underfeeding or other disease run his body down to such a low ebb of vitality that even so slow a germ as the tubercle bacillus can successfully attack it without being itself destroyed." Beaked Fight to Courts, Despite the decision of the state canvassing board not to grant a recount for congressman in Jackson city, the hoard cannot issue ;.n election certificate' to Mark R. Bacon for the Second district, as* a t t o r n e y s for Congressman Beakes Jaade an unexpected move immediately after the action of the board by serving an injunction on the members from Circuit J u d g e Kiune of Washtenaw county, restraining tha bogrd from issuing a certificate to Bacon pending the outcome of the appeal to the supreme court. After serving the injunction the Beakes a t t o r n e y s filed a petition in the state supreme court asking an order against the state canvassing board to show cause why It should not grant a r e c o u n t The board, composed of the secretary of state, state treasurer and superintendent of public instruction, concurred In following the written opinion of the a t t o r n e y general in refusing the request for a recount. T h e opinion cited the legal fact tlyit congress is the judge of the qualifications of its members. The 1913 state s t a t u t e under which Beakes claims a recount h a s never been tested, but Beakes' action will force a ruling on its constitutionality and prevent Bacon from getting a seat on t h e temporary roll of congress through a certificate of election. It means the fight for the Second district congressional seat will be settled In the state courts rather than in congress, and means a legal rather than a political decision.

This is the day for the farmer, the day that he is coming into his own. He is gradually becoming the dictator a s It becomes more apparent that upon his industry depends the great problem of feeding a great world. The farmer of - Canada and the United States h a s it within himself to-hold the p o r t i o n that stress of circumstances has lifted him into today. T h e conditions abroad are such that the utmost dependence will rest upon the farmers of this continent for some time after the war, and for this reason there is no hesitation in making the statement that war's demands are, and for a long time will be, Inexhaustible, and the claims t h a t will be made upon the soil will with difficulty be met. There are today 25,000,- 000 men in the fighting r a n k s in the old world. The best of authority gives 75 per cent and over as having been d r a w n from the farms. There is therefore nearly 75 per cent of the land formerly tilled now being unworked. Much of this land is today In a devast a t e d condition and ft the war should end tomorrow it will take years to bring it back to Its former producing capacity. Instead of the farmer producer producing, he has become a consumer, making the strain upon those who have been left to do the farming a very difficult one. There may be agitation as to the high cost of living, and doubtless t h e r e is reason for it in many cases. T h e middleman may boost the prices, combines may organize to elevate the cost, hut one cannot get away from the fact that the demand regulates the supply, and the supply, regulates the price. The price of wheat—In fact, all grains—as well as cattle, will remain high for some time, and the low prices t h a t have prevailed will not come again for some time. After the war the demand for cattle, not alone for beef, but for stock purposes, to replenish the exhausted herds of Europe, will be keen. F a r m educators and advisers are telling you to prepare for this emergency. How much better it can be done on the low-priced lands of today, on lands that cost from ten to twenty dollars per acre, than It can on two and three hundred-dollaran- acre land. The lnnds of Western Canada meet all the requirements. They are productive in every sense of the word. The best of grasses can be grown with nhnndant yields and the grain can he produced from these soils t h a t bents the world, nnd the same may be said of cattle and horses. T h e climate Is all that is required. Those who are competent to judge claim t h a t land prices will rise in value from twenty to fifty per cent. This Is looked for in Western Canada, w h e r e ' lands are decidedly cheap today, and those who a r e fortunate enough to secure now will realize wonderfully by means of such an investment. T h e land that the Dominion Government is giving away ns free homesteads in t h e provinces of Manltoh^i. S a s k a t c h e w a n nnd Alberta a r e of >a high c l a s s ; they are a b u n d a n t in every constituent t h a t goes to m a k e the most productive soils: The yields of wheat, o a t s and barley t h a t have been grown on these lands gives t h e best evidence of their productiveness, and when backed up by the experience of the thousands of settlers from the United S t a t e s who have worked them and become wealthy upon them, little more should be required to convince those who a r e seeking a home, even with limited means, t h a t nowhere can they secure anything t h a t will b e t t e r equip them to become one of the army of Industry to assist In taking care of the problem of feed- (ng t h e world. These lands are free; but to those who desire larger holdings than 100 acres there are the rail! companies and land corporations whom purchase can be made at sonable prices, and information secured from the Canadian Government a g e n t whose advertisement appears elsewhere in this paper.—Advertisem e n t x •w^ • ; * > ' •tf: * > • • ' . - ^ ^ i S f e . v T • * • .

A man who makes ten New Year's resolutions, every one of them good, and breaks nine, is better off to the extent of the virtue involved In keeping the one to which he adheres than If he made none at all. For the sake of argument, however, perhaps It may be conceded that making- numerous good resolutions at once is open to criticism on the ground that It is harder to attain perfection in many things than in a few things, and that failures cause discouragement, and that concentration is helpful to success. From this point of view the wise thing for New Year's resolutionmakers to do is to survey their failings and frame a few resolutions hitting the high spots.

Oh! for an old-fashioned New Tear day, With enjoyments keen and pure, When fun and frolic r«l«med supreme, Good fellowship the lure. As we journeyed to the parties Afoot, perchance by sleigh, Thfr-atmosphere seemed laden with Best wishes of the day. With good old hearty handshakes We knew were welcome grips, Instead of the present method of , Just touching the fingertips. How we merrily danced the lancsra, Danced It with a seal. Also the polka and minuet. And Jolly Virginia reeL Row the young and old enjoyed It Each in his separate way, Youth thinking of the present. Age of the bygone day. While times and vogues may change, alaa* And nature's will obeys, I*n still retain sweet memories of Ths good old-fashioned ways. Rather Plain-Spoken. "How about the New Tear's refutations r "I never make any," answered the busy man. "Ton don't mean to say you axe entirely free from bad habits 7" MNo, Indeed, but making New Tear resolutions I dont Intend to keep is not one. of them." Look Forward. Another milestone la life's journey Disappears from human sight, Another year is flooring onward Swiftly slipping in Its flight. But what has gone is gone for always And so let ns shed no tear Just let ns hope that »17 Will over be a Happy T« Happy Now Year. With Joy we'll tumble oat of bed 7 s see the Now Tear dawn: For now wo are iota bettor fed. Good Now Tow Don* ONE MA vs aivd 5KrvibFi Their Care and GJtivetioiv KM ) While Hedge Lovers, as a Rule, Prefer the Evergreens as Hedge Material, Calla Lilies Are Used to Advantage In Some Places, SPEAKING OF HEDGES By L I M A a ROSE. More and more the hedge is coining Into its own. For miles and mile* along the New Jersey coast, reaching from Atlantic Highlands to Sea Girt is the most continuous stretch of country homes In America. Millionaires, neaT-millionaires, people with money and people who are merely comfortable have made this region a show place of never-ending Interest. There are more millionaires among the home owners of this one spot than the entire realm of England holds. They have discarded the fence almost entirely and mile after mile of privet comes Into view as one motors along the smooth, beautifully kept roads. There are also, in the Pacific region, hedges of geraniums five feet high, hedges of calla lilies and of roses, but the substantial, serviceable evergreen hedge is the last word for elegance and utility, and the New Jersey coast offers the best possible field for its study. Here Is how the landscape gardeners of this section handle the plants: Before the plants are brought tu the ground a quantity of top soil is procured for the purpose of filling In about the roots, They need lots of moisture to keep them healthy and to maintain the rich green color. Then the transplanting is done in the spring and the plants are handled with care to prevent the roots from being dried out by the wind. The evergreens that run from 12 to 24 Inches are set from 8 to 12 inches apart. The larger plants can be placed with 18-lnch intervals. In order that the evergreens may be bushy, they are pruned when planted, and this makes the subsequent shaping of the hedge easy. The spring time is taken for the pruning, because the plants are then resuming their growth and the process finds its best results. Starting at the beginning, the first thing to do is to dig a trench wide enough not to cramp the roots, so that they can spread flat and not touch the sides. Then plenty of well-rotted stable manure is worked in the trench with the soil. After the planting a coating of manure is placed on the surface of the soil, covering all of the earth that has been disturbed. This mulch Is left In place for a year, and is then usually worked into the soil. Where double-row hedges are required the plants are set in rows six to nine Inches apart and the plants from 6 to 16 inches apart In the rows. The whole eastern coast is beginning to show the effect of hedge culture. Newport, the queen of summer resorts. Long Island and all of the other show regions are. literally marked with the natural substitute for the fences. DEMOCRACY OF FLOWERS By ELIZABETH VAN BBNTHUY8IN. Flowers, like genius, belong in the family of democracy. The one Is Just as pat to pick out a log cabin as a palace for its home. President Wilson, speaking at the log cabin in which Abraham Lincoln was born, called attention to this feature of genius. When he said that genius picked Its society as it willed, without regard to the status of the persons, he also called attention to one of the distinctive attributes of flowers, I am reminded of this idea by one of the moat recent soda! events among too millionaire* of too Bast Down on land, where thoro a r e acorotof mora costly than anything that any ktaavrfor dream* of baUding, * of ffcfe for an entertainment. They had three elegant prizes to be awarded. For what, you ask. Bridge? No. These women of the aristocracy of money came together, each bearing a little basket, to «ompete for the prizes that were given for the best arranged basket of flowers that had been grown by the woman who arranged the haad basket. All of the money commanded by people who consider one with a mere million poor, could not provide these women with a pleasure that the poorest child of the log cabin cannot enjoy. What child Is there In the land who cannot pick and arrange a bunch of posies with as much freedom as the wealthiest of these grand dames? I think It a good Idea. "Why not have little contests at which the taste and good judgment of the members of each little circle of a community will be tested by the arrangement of flowers ? One need not award cut glass and silver prizes. There can be Just as much rivalry and competition where the prize Is but a ribbon. And when the award Is made the committee that judges the prizes ought to be made to tell exactly why one bouquet or basket is better arranged than another. The members should say in what respect one set of llowers is better grown than another. Thus will be established an Interchange of ideas as to the growing of plants and flowers and the artistic sensibilities of each contestant will be developed while the stock of general information will be improved. Flowers are the true democrats. They are as sweet for the pauper as for the prince. There is absolutely no bar to a study of their beauties and I \Vould like to know that in a million homes the example of this rich coterie on Long island Is being followed to the profit ef other people and to the better production of the pretty things of life. TERRIFIC BATTIE OPENS ON SERETH ! FIELD MARSHAL VON MACKENSEN STARTS B A T T L E COVERING A FRONT OF 200 MILES. RUSSIANS FORCED TO COVER Teuton Curs Placed lrt a Semi-Circls Arc Battering the ^usso-Rumanian Defense Positions. The battle of the FVreih Is in full hlayt. Along a trout <»i li00 miles from Xht- Karuio (C'a.si:)) river, in the area. between the Carpathian mountains and the Transylvaniun Alps, eastward to the headwaters of the Danube, Field Marshal von Muckensen, opened what holds promise to become the biggest and moat fateful offensive of the war. * With a "drumfire" whose fierceness is emphasized by the Russian war office bulletin, the big Teuton guns, emplaced in a huge semicircle fronting the Sereth and the southern border of Bessarabia, are battering the Russo- Rumanian defense positions, clearing the path for infantry onslaughts upon whose success or failure hangs the fate of the entire southern line of the Russians, from Volhynia down to the Transylvania ridges, and whose ultimate goal Is Odessa. At some points the Teuton shelling was so terrific that, according to official admission from Petrograd the Rumanians and their Muscovite allies were forced to seek cover from its murderous hail. In other sectors the Invaders already have sent their infantry into battle, pushing b?.ck the (Winders. The center <*f Maekensen's attacking front faces the Foesami-Galatz-Braila line, a powerful'.defense sector, fortified vtars ago b> the Rumanian* against a possible Russian invnrlcn. Rimnicu-Sarat, the railroad north of Bu?eu, the Praila, the big Danube position surrounded fern three side?, are the immediate otiectivea of the center. These points captured, the battle lin^ will bo pushed automatically to the south bank of the Sereth. TERMS GIVEN TO NEUTRALS Germany Has Permitted the Holy Fathors to Open Sealed Packet. THE TULIP IN POTS. Some varieties of tnlips are well adapted to the flowerpot The Clusiana vent grows to a height of 20 inches, with a slender stem. The leaves are very long and narrow, and the flower sometimes measures two inches across. This variety is of the funnel form, with bright lemon-yellow flowers, with light shading of green or white, sometimes streaked with pink. It Is very fragrant, and when properly cultivated is one of the most beautiful of all the tulip family. The tulip Is easy to cultivate, as It thrives well in either heavy or light soil. It does better, however, in rather light soil, welldrained and fairly rich. Those grown in heavy, black soil produce smaller flowers, and the colors are not nearly so bright In some of the upland* of Virginia the ideal tulip soil is found for the growing of bulbs, and it Is said to be almost identical with that of Holland, where this flower Is so succea* fully grown. Rome—Germany handed to the neutral nations whose services she asked in forwarding peace suggestions 'o her enemit s, a sealed packet contain* ing the specific terms on which sh$ was willing to make peac r\ according to a report in circulation here. The report indicates this packet was I sent with instructions that it was only to be read and forwardsd to Ger* | many's enemies of the entente if those powers, answering Germany's proffers, actually requested terms. Otherwise, It was to be returned unopened. The same report declared in the case of the note submitted to Pope Benedict, Germany permitted the Holy Father to read this seoret list of con* ! cessions and demands. No official comment was obtainable here either from the Vatican or the court as to this report or as to the official view on the peace suggesiona contained in President Wilson's note. It was apparent, however, that Italian officials are puzzled by the America* suggestion, considering there is soma diplomatic secret behind it.

What one young lady did in such circumstances is told entertainingly in this installment. ! • You remember, Hugh Whitaker, thinking he was about to *'e, married an innocent girl to ^ save w honor and departed Im- «s mediately i«»r the Southern sea*. Five years later he returns to New York, healthy *ti<j wealthy, and finds the wife, now « famous actress known as Sara Law, engaged to marry Drummond, his old friend and partner. She disappears suddenly. Drummond supposedly commits suicide, as her previous lovers had done. Whitaker Is tnurder- *'t ously assaulted In the dark and x> goes to the country home oT his j | friend Martin Ember, near the sea. He discovers a mysterious spy there and thinks It Is Drummond. 3rtr^&<rtrfrfr&*Krft&<M>frfr<rfrftiHHrtr5 CHAPTER X. —11 — The Spy. Already the sun was warm, the faint breeze bland. Standing at the window and shading his eyes against the glare, Whitaker surveyed a world newwashed and radiant; the landlocked bay dimpled with vagrant catspaws and smitten with sunlight as with a scimitar of fire; the earth fresh and fragrant, steaming faintly in the ardent glow of the dawn. In another moment he was at the kitchen door, interrupting Sum Fat's first matutinal attentions to his teeth with a demand for a bathing suit. Three minutes later, from the end of the small dock, he dived neatly, coming to the surface with his flesh tingling with delight of the cool water; then, with the deliberate and powerful movements of an experienced swimmer, struck away from the land. Two hundred yards out he paused, rolled over on his back, and, hands clasped beneath his head, floated serenely, sunlight warming his upturned face, his body rejoicing in the suave, clean, fluid embrace. Then something disturbed him—a dull fluttering, vibrant upon his submerged eardrums. Extending his arms and moving his hands gently to preserve his poise, he lifted his head from the water. From the landing stage on the Fiske place a motor boat was standing out The churning of its propeller had aroused him. He could see but a single person for all Its crew. Seated astern, dividing her attention between the side steering wheel and the engine, she was altogether ignorant of the onlooker. Only her head and shoulders showed above the coaming— her head with its shining crown, her shoulders cloaked with a light wrap gathered at the throat Whitaker, admiring, wondered . . . Sweeping in a wide arc as it gathered speed, the boat presently shot out smartly on a straight course for the barrier beach. Why? What business had she there? And at an hour so early? No affair of his—Whitaker admitted as much freely. And yet he was beginning his fourth day on the Great West,bay without having set foot upon Its Great South beach l Ridiculous oversight! And one to be remedied without another hour's delay. Grinning with amused toleration of his own perverse sophistry, he turned over on his side and struck out in the wake of the motor boat When at length he waded ashore he found the motor boat moored in shallow water at the end of a long and substantial dock. He patted the flanks of the vessel as he waded on. "Good little boat!" said he, Walking rapidly, very soon he stood at the head of a rude flight of wooden steps which ran dorm from the top of a wave-eaten sand bluff, some ten or twelve feet in height, to the broad and gently shelving ocean beach. Midway between the sand bluff and the breaking waters stood the woman Whitaker fec€ followed. (There wasn't any O N fflffiHnp; terms—be had followed bar Hi bis confounded, fatuous curiosity t) Her face was to the sea, bar hands dasped behind bar. Now tbe wlad modeled bar cloak sweetly to bar body, »ow whipped Its skirts away, dtedosteg lege if**!*** and slinikrr and grs> i-iously modeled. She wits dressed, it seemed, for bathing. Whitaker turn to go, and turning.let his gaze sweep up from the beach and along the brow of the bluff. He paused, frowning. Some twenty feet or so distant the legs of a man, trousered and booted, protruded from a hollow between two hummocks of sand. And the toes of the boots were digging Into the sand, indicating that the man was lying prone; and that meant (if he were neither dead nor sleeping) that lie was watching the woman on the beach. Indignation, righteous Indignation, warmed Whitaker's bosom. It was all very well for him to catch sight of the woman through her cottage window, by night, and to swim over to the beach In her wake the next morning, but what right had anybody else to constitute himself her shadow? Besides, it was. possible that the man was Drummond. He strode forward and stood over the man, looking down at his back. It was true, as he had assumed—the fellow was watching the woman. And his back was very like Drummond's. A little quiver of excitement mingled with anticipatlve satisfaction ran through him. Now, at last the mystery was to be cleared up, his future relations with the pseudo-suicide defined and established. Deliberately he extended his bare foot and nudged the man's ribs. "Drummond . . ." he said In a clear voice, decided but unaggressive. WItIt an oath and what seemed a single, qufck motion, the man jumped to his feet and turned to Whitaker a startled and Inflamed countenance. "What the devil!" he cried angrily. "Who are you? What do you want? What d'you mean by coming round here and calling me Drummond?" He was no more Drummond than he was Whitaker himself. "For that matter" — something clicked In W7hitaker's brain and subconsciously he knew that his temper was about to take the bridge—"what do you mean by spying on that lady yonder?" It being Indisputably none of his concern, the unfairness of the question only lent it offensive force. The man made this painfully clear through the medium of an intolerable epithet and an attempt to land his right fist on Whitaker's face. The face, however, was elsewhere when the fist reached the point for which it had been aimed ; and Whitaker closed in promptly as the fellow's body followed his arm, thrown off balance by the momentum of the unobstructed blow. What followed had entered into the calculations of neither. Whitaker felt himself suddenly falling through air thick with a blinding, choking cloud of dust and sand. The body of the other was simultaneously wrenched violently from his grasp. Then he brought up against solidity with a bump that seemed to expel every cubic inch of air from his longs. And he heard himself cry out sharply with the pain of his weak ankle newly twisted. . . . He sat up, gasping for breath, brushed the sand from his face and eyes, and as soon as his whirling wits settled a little, comprehended what had happened. Half burled in the debris of a miniature landslide, he sat at the foot of the bluff. Immediately above his head a ragged break showed where the sand, held together solely by beach grass, had given way beneath the weight of the antagonists. A little distance from him the other man was picking himself up, apparently unhurt but completely surfeited. Without delay, with not even so much as a glance at Whitaker, he staggered off for a few paces, then settled into a heavy, lumbering trot westward along the beach. He did not wish the woman to recognize him; therefore he was putting himself out of her way. For she was approaching. When Whitaker caught sight of her, she was already close at hand. She had been running. Now as their glances met, hers keenly inquiring of Whitaker's still bewildered eyes, she pulled up abruptly and stood astare. He saw, or fancied, something closely akin to fright and consternation in her look. The flush in her cheeks gave way to a swift pallor. The hands trembled that drew ber beach cloak close about ber. She seemed to make an ineffectual effort to speak. On bis part, Whitaker tried to get up. • keen twinge in bis ankle, however, wrung an involuntary .grunt from Mm, and with a wry grimace be sank back. "Ob r cried tne woman, impulsively. "You're burtr She advanced a pace, solicitous aid sympathetic. "On, not muck," Wbitnkar replied to a tea* more of hope tnan of ance. He felt tenderly of the Injured (member. "Only my ankle—twisted It a few days ago, and now again. It'll be all right in >x moment or two." Her gaze traveled from him to the edge of the bluff. "I didn't see—I mean, 1 heard something, and turned, and saw you trying to sit up and the other man rising." "Sorry we startled you," Whitaker mumbled, wondering how the deuce he was going to get home. His examination of the ankle hadn't proved greatly encouraging. "But I—ah—how did It happen?" "A mere misunderstanding," he said lightly. "I mistook the gentleman for someone I knew. He resented it, so we started to scrap like a couple of schoolboys. Then . . . I wish to heaven It had been his leg instead of mine!" "But still I hardly understand . . .* "Well, you see, I—ah—rin visiting Ember—the cottage next to yours, I believe. That Is, if I'm not mistaken, you have the Fiske place?" She nodded. "And so, this morning, it struck me as a fine young idea to swim over here and have a look at the beach. And then I found that chap watching you—" That startled her. "How do you mean—watching me?" . "Why—ah—that's what he seemed to be doing." She shook her head. "You must be mistaken." "Daresay. I generally am when I Jump at conclusions. Anyway, he didn't like It much when I called him out Of his name. I gathered, in fact, that he was considerably put out SilTy, wasn't it?" "Rather r she agreed gravely. For a moment or two they eyed one another in silence, Whitaker wondering just how much of a fool she was thinking him and dubiously considering various expedients to ingratiate himself. "I don't seem to think of anything useful to say," he ventured. "Can you help me out? Unless you'd be interested to know my name's Whitaker— Hugh Whitaker— ?" - She acknowledged the Information merely by a brief nod. "It seems to me," she said seriously, "that the pressing question is, what are you going to do about that ankle? Shall you be able to walk?" "Hard to say," he grumbled, a trifle dashed. With infinite pains and the aid of both hands and his sound foot, "Please !" she said—not altogether patiently. - He eyed her askance. There was in this Incredible situation u certain piquancy, definitely provocative, transcending the claims his Injury made upon his interest. Last night for the first time he- had been this woman, and from a distance had thought her desirable; now, within twelve hours, he found himself with uu arm round her neck i And then suddenly she turned her head and intercepted his whole-hearted stare. For a thought wonder glimmered In the violet eyes; then they flashed disconcertingly; finally they became utterly colC and disdainful. "Well?" she demanded in a frigid voice. He looked away in complete confusion, and felt his face burning to the temples. "I beg your pardon," he mumbled unhappily. He essayed to walk. Twenty feet and more of treacherous, dry, yielding sand separated them from the flight of steps that ascended the bluff. It proved no easy Journey. The stairway accomplished, he limped to a wooden seat and sat down with much grim decision in his manner. But he mustered a smile to meet her look of concern, and shook his head. tuThus far and no farther." "Oh, but you must not be stubborn 1" MI mean to be—horrid stubborn. In fact, I don't mind warning you that there's a famous strain of mule In the Whitaker make-up." She was, however, not to be diverted ; and her fugitive frown bespoke Impatience, if he were any judge. £ Llfjfjfj^lfjfjfJlQQj^lQlfj^Qiyj^QQQifljj^, Who do you think this girl is?

One*'of Davitt's stories intended for inclusion Is the following: The "Irish Tribune," as Davitt was called, having served many years in Chatham and other prisons as a political prisoner, had been a free man some six months, when he was addressing a huge meeting In the Rotunda, Dublin. Davitt had worked his audience up to a tense pitch of enthusiasm and concluded a great speech amid a perfect storm of applause. When he had resumed his seat and the applause was subsiding a voice from the gallery cried out: "Bravo, X Twenty-nine I" Davitt started and, looking up, beheld the grinning face of a well-known '•cracksman" whom he had left finishing a five years' term in Chatham prison, and who had hailed Davitt by his prison number.

Latin-American Diplomatic Representatives Hold Session to Talk Over the President's Peace Plan. Washington—Washington is prepared for a general chorus of indorsement by the neutral nations of the world of President Wilson's move toward peace in Europe. The nature and form of the Swiss note pledging support to the president's peace policy was accepted as practically guaranteelag prompt action by the other neutrals. Washington diplomats declared the Scandinavian nations could be expected to fall into line behind the president's proposals and it was stated authoritatively that Sweden would probably forward an endorsement following closely the form of the Swiss note, within a few days. A conference of diplomatic representatives of important Latin-American countries was held. The question of indorsing the president's peace plan and of taking action similar to that of Switerland was discussed and as a result of the conference long telegrams were sent to the home governments outlining the situation and asking for instructions. Further conferences will be held as soon as replies to the messages have been received. One of the conferees stated that the opinion of the Central and South American representatives here was "generally favorable to Indorsement of the American note." As an evidence of the German intention not to name terms that the Allies cannot accept it was stated authoritatively that Germany will not ask for the restoration of Kiau-Chau. Germany will merely ask that in return for the evacuation of Belgium and France her colonies "or their equivalent" shall be restored to her.

The impression of official and newspaper circles appeared in the editions under large display headlines as the all-important news of the Christmas season, reviving the interest in the German peace overtures which had sunk to a low point under the influence of the preliminary declarations of statesmen of the Entente powers. The American embassy, to which the ambassador, James W. Gerard, returned from New York, the Associated Press correspondent and the American charge, Joseph C. Crew, were besieged by newspapermen who sought additional information concerning the president's peace note, but nothing beyond the press dispatches could be given.

In delivering the annual address to the senior class of Birmingham college, Bishop McCoy said: "What I consider honesty in a man—an undisputed desire for the truth, regardless of its consequences—is for a man to walk to the tax assessor's office and tell the flat-footed truth about the value of his property. This is a time, In my opinion, when men are tried and when they either tell the truth boldly or lie plain out." EXPORT RECORD IS BROKEN The Total Exports for Twelve Months Will Reach Five and a Half Billion. . Washington — When the United States closes its books the last day of this year it will have recorded the enormous total of foreign commerce of approximately eight billion dollars. Nothing like that was ever before even approached. The total exports for the 12 months will total about five and a half billion. Imports, approximately two an a half billion. The department ot commence haa just issued a statement regarding foreign commerce for November In which it is announced ftiat exports during that month were the largest on record, exceeding the previous "high month" of September by $3,000,000. The November total was $517,900,- 000; the total for the first 11 months of the calendar year, $4,961,200,000, against $3,195,400,000 for the same period in 1915 and $2,250,800,000 in 1913, the largest total in normal years, ' Imports for November were valued at $177,000,000; a slight decrease from October ($173,700,000;) but exceeding by $21,500,000 November, 1915, and by $35,000,000, or 25 per cent, the November average from 1911 to 1915. The 11 months' imports were valued at $2,- 188,800,000 as against $1,606,800,000 in 1915 and $1,674,600,000 in 1914, the former high record year in imports. Of the November imports, the department explains, 66 per cent entered free of duty, being about the same proportion as that for November, 1915.

By ELINOR J U t S H Warner Markham, a young Awerl- -euu, rich, « i s VH y much afraid that, If he married, i he glrr he chose would place a much higher value on his money than on himself. -He went abroad thinking that h« might meet some girl with whom he might have a real affair «f the heart. To conceal his wealth he j traveled iu second or third class railway carriage*, stayed at pensions (Warding bouses) instead of hotels and ^henrlse curtailed his expose*. 1¾ IPlorenoe, where art is the princi ~$*i attraction, he was one morning looking at the plctwea In the Ufflzl jttiiery ^when he came tjpop-a young girl copying a picture by Titian. The , sun, shining in at a window, glinted***] head of wavy hair the exact shade of I that belonging to a girl represented In j +h# painting sbe copied. Of the real | girl and the painted one Markham greatly preferred the former. Indeed, his heart went out to her with one of those sudden, unaccountable impulses -that are common in young persons. Standing behind her, he pretended to t>e examining ber work, but big eye* were fixed on her. A friend passed her, and she spoke a few -words of salutation In the English tongue without the British accent. Markham judged 4-hat she/was an American, und Aineri- '.£UH abroad need no introductiou. Our onntry seems very far from them, a distant land sunken far below the western horizon, from which they are •cut oft! and*from which they hear very little. This makes them all akin. *farkham, who was a flue Jvdpe'mf pfcluxes, did not hesitate to exprt s his approval of the way the copyist was dejhag her work and call her attention to 'gome differences between her copy and the oUginal. She looked up»at him, *avv/admiration iu Lis eyes and turned here ba^k upon her work with a flutleting of the heart that she had never felt beftn*. Markham told her that lie WAS 0¾ American, and she admitted 4*Ang from the same land. After -bin 'lug awhile he passed on. fcbe was Madeline Trevor. Having some artistic ability and the D e n s i t y of making ber own living, she had I ' M a little money left her in a legacy to study art in Florence. Her funds bad been used ,im. mid she was mm ^nhoav.orhig to keep IMWI.V an<] soul to g<Mhor by- copying masterpiece* ('•>:• Mich Aiuwi.cniu* as would give her an order. }!;, tl'tiHtn. made up ;i -story, nlioin him-eli' f» tit Ids being lu Fior- I wi''c, He bad <<>ine nlirond »>n a ven j 1".>re to find )>bim-i-^ nf trreat iirtisis to j M't) to WCHUII \ Anici'jcillts iit lioino on | < otumissioii.

She hud done very wrong to pei-adt^im to become so chummy with her.. -Poverty added to poverty mikes, misery. A marriage between them would be* suicidal. Markham lugubriously admitted the fact. He told ber that he loved ber and was only prevented from asking her to be bis wife by the misery that such a union would bring upou her. Markham noticed that there was no statement from Mies Trevor on this matter to match ul» own. She did not •ay, "Would that I had a fortune—how happy we could be together!" He wondered, if she had a fortune, whether she would throw herself away on a Voverty stricken man with bohemiau~ Instincts.

W*«»8»to* Dumber 28 1921 * . ' ' ' • *mmm ^^ i ... . . J . ; , - .^."..'!_ ',»lfVo-j' i^fe--•'•...:• V^-1 When 192} was ushered in with the usual accompaniment of good cheer there WM no unusual aiqounjt of re joking in Pinckney. The busincsa part of the town had been partially devastated by ftrect the village streets £|were in darkness and there would have been discouragement If 4kf re were not TOjfectte* prospects for-.the future. : Hut the dawn that always comes after, darkness came to. Pinckney during 1921, and. the village has made \x\or-t Mjreai, tangible progress during the past jyear than ever happened before dur~ jing a twelve months period. J The DetroU Kdison Company com* jpieted its preliminary work here and now the churches, homes, business places and streets are well lighted and Pinckney can offer inducements for ^manufacturing with electric power that never could have been made previous to 1921. ' 1921 has seen the completion of the fire system, so that now the village is am{ky protected by fire apparatus and Storage reservoirs. \ The fire boys haye been rolled out several times add have~alrr,£y saved enough property in and near the village to prove beyond argument to the very few who were opposed, that the expenditure was justified. The fire b^all has.been built and is now occupied by the engine and apparatus. This building fills one gap in West Main Street. • The prospect of a manufacturing plant? operated by Henry Fprd has been strengthened during tine year. *Mr. Ford has bought the mitt site and gutter rjgh.tSi, engineers ha^M^fe^k. THE UNIVERSAL-CAR Busy People]« Fully equipped with electric starter, demountable rims, extra rims, and non skid tires all around. F. o. a •m IK < V •v. i; %* I Five Hundred and Ninety Five Dollar*-—Can you conceive of such a low price for such a high class enclosed car ? The Ford Coupe has always been a, popular car for the man or woman keeping appointments, whether social, business or professional, because it is always ready for use and gets there on time with comfort and convenience to its occupants. It is even more popular now at its new low price of $59&00. Order today for reasonably prompt delivery. Terms if desired. • * . •••«*?•'tl >r* oughly cleaned and- the prospects are that the work will go ahead soon. Many miles of real estate have been made and property is in good demand. Outsiders are looiU»g„our way aru| are! ttmfiiimenting the villaftfe'peaple on the improved appearance of the village. The-Masonic ledge of Pinckney now occupies the new home which is more1 commodious and convenient than the old one which Was burned. They have also two stores which, with the Thomas I R^rad store are now being decorated [^ad are the show buildings of the business section. , Pinckney has made a big stride forward during the past year and only awaits the actual ' operations on the Ford plant to begin to see a boom started here that may place the village far ahead of the dreams of those whose optimism is now only moderate. Perhaps the greatest change in Pinckney is the spirit of optimism which now prevails instead of the discouragement SQ much in evidence before.

There are several things that are new at New Year's beside the New Year. There's a new chance. There's a new responsibility. There's a new bnlance In the Bank of Time. There's a new bank book. So, what will the check stubs show at the end of the year? Rev. John Sherman had a right to make his "reasonable request," if practicing what one preaches gives that right His "three score and ten" were busy years. He was born at Dedham, Essex, England, nnd before he was twenty-one he was an A. B. and A. M. of Trinity college, Cambridge, a minister of the Church of England and a Puritan on his way across the Atlantic to the Massachusetts Bay colony. There was no church for him, since the only three In existence—Boston, Salem and Watertown—had efficient ministers. So he~^ggs~one~of the "orlginal planters" of Wethersfleld, Conn., and a "watcher," 1634-40. Then he was one of the founders of Milford, New Haven plantation. Next he was <t magistrate representing Milford in the New, Haven colony and also charged with the duty of dividing land. Meanwhile he preached wherever opportunity offered. In 1647 he became the minister of the Watertown church. There he preached till his death In 3385.

He found time, however, to publish for many years an almanac, for which he mfade all the astronomical calculations and wrote the text He was also the first fellow and overseer of Harvard university. Incidentally he also found time to marry twice. Cotton Mather in his "Magnalla Christl Americana," says he had 26 children; this is a misstatement hut he did have 16. His epitaph in Latin on the tombstone in East Waltham, Mass* thus sums up his life: - "Sacred to the memory of John Sherman, a man distinguished for piety, character and truth; a profound theologian; as a preacher a veritable Cnr^spstcm; unsurpassed In his knowledge of the liberal arts, particularly mathematics; a faithful pastor of the Church,of Watertown In New Bngtand; an overseer nnd fellow of Harvard coUege. After a life of faithftrt service to Christ In the church tor opwarda of 48 years In the full. nesp e t time- he passed away and rweetved from Christ tho palm of vieficy. ia the se^enty-sscond year of his r Asnmst & A.

Though in folly and in blindness ,And in sorrow still we grope, Yet In man's increasing kindness Lies the world's stupendous hope. And it is a reasonable request to every red-blooded, thinking, patriotic American. §uch a man knows that nobody can stand still; that he has either to progress or fall back. The progressive man accepts responsibilities as the measure of his capabilities. He never shirks them, for he recognizes ID them the price he must pay for advancement. Competition is going to be keen this year. The dollar is going to be hard to get. Men who have been getting twice what they were before and have had lots of money to spend are going to feel the pinch. It looks as it everybody who works for a living will have to work a little harder. It may be that life will seem hard. But what of it? Life has always been hard— perhaps it was meant to be. Anyway, it Is something that b«s got to be lived and mastered. It's the business of men "to greet the unseen with a cheer" and "to advance on chaos and the dark." Of course all of us cannot have a hand in the big things that must be done in meeting the challenge of 1922. But If all of us do the little things we may, 1922 will Indeed be the "Happy New Year" of our greetings. and sober. Medical philosophers are unanimous in declaring Uiut we Americans live too hard and too fust; that our rapid ways are harmful both to the IttUlviduul and to the ruce; Uiut we should slow up. We are, to use tlia homely old phrase, burning the candle at both ends. Men try to succeed In business, to rule in politics, to be- social leaders—ull nt the many liiuo. To crowd dlsblinllur things together has become a nutionul characteristic Our avocations are often as wearing aa our voeutions; we play even harder than we work. Thus to crowd two or more lives Into one Is to borrow of nature. She is a hurd creditor and she always exacts payment. One cannot, of course, Indlct-a whole, people.

my every yelp But this Is the first zoo to have raised a cub And they have called me the prize bear Bub Yes, continued the Sandman, It was a very wonderful event and the too people were very proud of It They didnt want to boast of It until the bear was bis enough to really be sure of growing up Into strength and full polar bear size Some of the uniinnls were telling the visitors who they were by roaring and talking ih their different ways and though the visitors could not understand them, the animals did their best to be understood If they wunt to know Whos Who In Zoolund, said the Polar

NEARLY every large family there 18 one person who is tacitly recog nlzed as the household goat Often this person Is the mother, sometimes an elder daughter Neurlj always the role I filled by a woman, because women have to stay around tbe house The mule members of the family, soon olate, break away from the net of domestic restraint On the goat devolve all the Irk aoiue and disagreeable tasks that have to be done If the family is In mod erate circumstances she looks after the children and doe the housework If the family Is affluent she entertains tie dull guests and does everybodv elses shopping She Is always generous and self sacrificing and uncomplaining And for that reason she Is always m posed upon Because she does not make a fuss wuen her feelings are hurt the other members of the family conclude that hr feelings cant be hurt They love her, of course But they never stop to thnk that their love ought to take tome tangible form Custom can harden as to a great many things1 That is why a loving family can see one of Its members unjustly treated day after dai and do nothing about It The mere,, fact that It is the cus torn to overtook the victims wishes In evet7thlng finally comes to be consid red an excuse for doing so Family tyranny is not often con e1ous tyranny It is just thoughtless ness But it is tyranny all the same And the vicious part of it Is that the more the victim submits to It the greater the tyranny becomes The mother or daughter who sacrifices herself for the pleasure of the others Is not only maltreating herself She Is urging the others to even greater selfishness and thoughtlessness In time they come to accept her service and sacrifice as merely their due And thus she Injures their character even while she is depriving herself of her share of pleasure There la no good reason that 1 can think of why one person should be the victim of the family group auy more than he should be a victim of a less friendly group The members of a football team or of a brokerage house do not expect one person to shoulder all the disagreeable tasks Why then, should a family expect one of Its members to give up his comfort for the ease of the

unlucky for a hunter to meet a redbaired man when he sets out upon his hunting expedition The part played by the redhaired man in the world of folklore Is one which has been the subject of much learned investigation That many ancient peoples sacrificed redhaired men to their gods Is a wellknown fact It was formerly the theory of an thropologists1 tiiat this was because to those peoples redhaired men were strangers, they themselves being dark haired, and in those days strangers and enemies were synonymous But Sir James Fraaer, who is the great et living authority on such matters, is of the opinion that among the ancients the redhaired man represented the cornspirit, the color of his hair corresponding to that of the ripened grain, and points out how In Egypt redhaired men were annually sacrificed at the shrine of Osiris and the body being burned, the ashes were scattered over the fields to lnure a satlsfuctory crop The Idea was that of the dying godthe death of grain Us sowing as seed and its resurrec tlon in the form of a new crop Sir James has written at considerable length upon the relation between the redhaired man In antiquity and the grainspirit and cast doubts upon the stranger theory of the sacrifice of the redhaired He relies mostly up on Egyptian mythology and ritual But perhaps Sir James and those anthropologists who differ with him are both right, partially What was true in Egypt may not have been true in those European regions from which we most directly inherit our folklore traditions In the tatter the stranger theory pertiaps prevailed It as Maspero says, a study of modem superstitions will enable us to correct the t past by the present thissuperstition of the hunters, that It is unlucky to meet a red haired man, would appear to prove tiie stranger theory with regard to our European ancestors A redhaired man was a stranger a stranger was an enemy To meet an enemy when starting on a hunting ex pedition boded III lucit, for his

EGG PBODUCTION era metbFall and winter months may ba, termed the profit months In poultry culture for the reason that the big difference In production between bfeavy laying flocks and flocks which are not profitable cornea during that season of the year Almost any healthy ben will lay well toward spring tt Is an established fact that a flock must average approximately 100 egaja per hen per year in order U return the owner a profit The between the monthly flock good flocks and poor mainly during the fa months In other won of profitable flocks have utl ods which Increase production at a time of year when fresh eggs are scarce and therefore higher in price Early batches of early maturing birds could be set down as one of the most important points In getting heavier fall and winter production Pol lets that start laying during the tat ter part of October are from batches that came before May L, usually before April 1 They are birds that have been well fed and are fully de veloped Good birds of this character will produce greatly over 100 eggs per year If they are properly fed and housed Proper feeding and housing are the second factors that must receive attention In order to get a good yield of fall and winter eggs Hens will lay in the spring on a straight grain ration At that time they are an swering natures demands and will layIf conditions are at all suitable However, after the normal laying season Is over, it is correspondingly hard to secure heavy production This can only be done by using a ration that supplies plenty of animal protein, minerals, and succulent feed In addition to grain, which is needed as the bads of all rations Houses must be warm, well ventilated and comfortable In other words, the hen must be fed and managed so that phe will feel like keeping right on with her egg production Parasites and diseases are the third source of trouble Nothing will upset a good laying flock quicker than a lot of troublesome mites that make the birds want to leave their regular houses and roost in the trees Preparing for Winter Around Poultry House A thorough cleaning of the poultry house should take place at this time of year In preparation for winter The cleanup should consist of remov ing nests, roosts, hoppers, drinking stands and all other equipment from the house Each should get a thorough scrubbing with water and some good disinfectant The house Itself should be swipt, ceilings, walls and floor The floor should be well scraped clean of all hard, dried litter and droppings Dirt floors should have at least sis Inches of the old dirt taken off and replaced with six Inches of clean dirt The final cleanup step should be a thorough spraying of the Inside of the house with some good disinfectant Whitewash helps to brighten a dark house and a freshly whitewashed house has a tendency to encourage Its owner to keep It looking clean for some time to come A young guinea Is like a young grouse or quail and will hide when scared They do not make

thereby fe ducing the cost of feed They also found tt paid to feed mineral While the hen Isnt exactly a gracing animal, she does tuck a lot of grass under her belt during a sum mer day And when she cant get it she must have sprouted oats, cabbage, mangels, or each If shes going to gladden you with eggs If we expect winter egga we must produce our pullets from hens that are bred to lay during the

pounds of ear corn dally so as to prevent them going off too greatly In flesh before spring It was reckoned that with alfalfa hay at 16 a ton and shredded corn fodder at a ton, the dally rations LJ the early winter did not cost more than about 9 cents a day per head They ate about 8 pounds of alfalfa and probably about 6 pounds of corn fodder as a dally average Then when the shelled corn was added to Improve their condition the ration cost all the way from 18 to 20 cents per head daily From the middle of December until February 10 or so, the horses lost about a pound or more daily on this cheap ration Edmonds and Crawford, at the Illinois experiment station, have had fexd results in feeding growing draft fillies by using in the ffrst winter sheaf oats and alfalfa hay with half an ordinary ration of oats and bran The roughage was fed in proportion of one part sheaf oats to two parts alfalfa Three pounds ooats to one pound of bran was the grain ration Profitable Hog Needs Good, Suitable Ration The profitable hog ts the one that eats the most It takes about oneeighth of a full ration by this la meant giving the hog all It will eat tr maintain the hogs body Then if you fed only enough to maintain the hogs body, you could feed a 100pound hog a whole year nrW It would still weigh 100 pound and you would be out your feed for nothing To illustrate this, suppose that on account of feed being hljrli you feed only two pounds of feed per day A full ration Is four per cent of the live weight The average weight from 100 to 200 pounds Is 1 HO pounds Four per cent o 150 Is six poundsoneelghtb of six Is threequarters pound the amount required for maintaining the hog Then, if you feed only two pounds per day you only have 1 pounds to make gain If you are feeding a balanced ration every three pounds of feed above that required or maintenance will make a pound of gain Divide the 1 pounds by three and you see that you can get only fivetwelfths pounds of gain per day when feeding two pounds of feed per day Then 240 days will be required to make the hog gain 100 pounds Too are feeding two pounds per daytwo tlmeR 40 equnls 480 pounds Hence, It took 480 pounds of

spread himself all over the front pagss again last week Having been invited to visit Mexico by President Calles, lindy tuned up the Spirit of St Louis and almost without warning hopped off from Boiling field, Washington, a little after noon on Tuesday Twentyseven hours and ten minutes later he landed gracefully at Valbuena aviation field, Mexico City, completing the first nonstop flight between the two capitals The distance Is a little ver 2,000 miles Lindbergh had esti mated that the jaunt would take 26 hours, but after passing Tamplco he was forced to fly high above clouds, lost his bearings and went considerably too far to the west, passing over Salamanca, Morella and Toluca He aid the trip was the most enjoyable and least adventurous he ever had Hailed as an unofficial ambassador of good will, Lindbergh was welcomed by an Immense throng of wildly enthusiastic Mexicans In the grand stand were President Calles, Ambassador Morrow and his staff, diplomatic representatives of niuny other nations and a crowd of other dignlUiries The delay In his arrival had worried them considerably, and President Calles In greeting him told of this anxiety Calles sent congratulatory telegrams to President Coolide and Llndys mother, and Issued a formal statement, in which he said The United Slates In sending to Mexico the highest representative of Us manhood, will power and heroism has created closer spiritual and material relations I congratulate Colonel Lindbergh and the American people which Is fully Justiflvd In being proud of having such a man While Colonel Lindbergh was In the air on his way to Mexico, President Coolldge signed the bill awarding him the Congressional Medal of Honor The measure originated in the house when the aviator visited that body, and In Its passage the usual formal Itles were Ignored The senate, of course, put the bill through unhesitatingly T JREE hundred ranvors of cities In thirty states hold a threeday airport

twentyfive cruLers, five aircraft esrrtsfs, thirtytwo submarines and flvs destroyers, the estimated cost to be 1725,000,000 This Is understood hf fty 4dAMmla to be the first flvejvar lacrenseat of s proposed twentyfear naval building and replacement program which contemplates the eventual expenditure of between two and three billion dollars With the exception of battleships, this program would place the United States almost on a purity with Great Britain Secretary Wilbur hopes to have work on the program started at once His plan is to have five cruisers, one aircraft carrier, and a cumber of submarines and destroyers begun each year Ail would be started In five years and the last ship would be com pleted in nine The bill does not specify any definite period carried to safety Then the

session of the legislature and the state courts ruled that a svssion uncalled by him would be Illegal The representatives gathered for their meeting, nevertheless, and the National Juard was called out to keep them from the cap itoi They held a secret meeting and voted articles of impeachment against the governor, the chief justice of the state Supreme court, Fred P Branson, and Harry B Cordell, president of the state board of agriculture The charges Included Incompetence, diversion of state funds, extortion and other misbehavior The governor then permitted the sennte to meet in its chamber

also were on guard The loyal Kuomlntang troops counter attacked while their war vessels shelled the bund, and after a bloody battle they regained possession of the city About 4,000 were killed la the fight, and there were wholesale executions of captured Reds The Nationalist government, of which Gen Chiang Kaishek is again the leader, already had severed relations with Soviet Russia and after the Canton uprising it ordered all Russian consulates In south China to be dosed Quo Taichi, commissioner of foreign affairs, said China was fed up with communism and com munlstlc intrigue and that the

each other, he called on France to aid him In forming a vast Latin bloc, including Spain, Portugal and the South and Central American republics This would give the Latin leaders a world hegemony that would smash the prosrge of the United States and transfer the direction of LatinAmerican affairs to the Mediterranean While professing deep friendship for France, the Fascist chieftain rebuffed England and Russia, explaining that the Italians would never understand these peoples as they understand fel low Latins Advices from Rome say Mussolini considers that the only posible solution of the

Years apart from his wife He had enjoyed what he called the time of his life, but it had always ended up in an hilarious outburst In each case now for six years Lau rel had brought him through and had forgiven him Yet each succeeding year it had been the same thing over again Now another year had rolled around and the hoys at the office were Joking about New Year resolutions, wild parties, etc As Tom got to thinking about It, he suddenly realized that he hi id not played fair with his wife when it came to holiday celebrations Filled with remorse, he began to plan a Happy New Year1 for the little worn an this year The boys joked him for being so quiet and thoughtful but he paid no attention to them, for tie was deep In thought What could he do to pay up for his gross neglect All these years she had been so true and unselfish while he hod Indulged In utter senseless dissipation I have U, he suddenly shouted, without realizing the whole office force was looking in his direction Come acrosswhat it is, a new Joke exclaimed Jim, the bHl clerk Oh no, far from it said Tom I have only Just made a New Years resolution Whereupon they all laughed heartily and Joe, the sweeper, who was passing by, chuckled Inwardly as he thought of the big party which was on that night The day, very tjggestive of the p i r I t, COtd and rvhile fcfcfii hmg about In profusion and th 6now, heavily packed, sparkled In the sunlight Tom begged to be excused an hftut earlier and Jofeusty bounded ff on his New ffjI escapade Jnrted across the street d two theater tickets, tfct Crystal restaurant, where B table Next he rushed WThe florists shop to which he had been a stranger for many years and ordered a corsage bouquet of mixed rweet peas, her favorite flower Then be found himself entering an exclu sive womens apparel shop, just around the corner He felt sort of wobbly In here and was just about ready to flee when a pleasant, elderly lady addressed him What can I do for yon, sir1 Then he explained to her that he would tike to have a complete outfit for his wife for a New Years party The efficient saleslady understood perfectly, and ushered him about picking, out the finery He remembered hearing his wife speak of the new color called Tyson bluethat blue had been the color of her wedding gownso he decided to have everything of that delightful shade which Jn knew would please hes, vJTiimlly, loaded down with bundles, h truly was a New Tears Santa Ottos, orfelt like one anyway, for bis heart was tiled with joy Twas surely more blessed to give than to re cehe, thought Torn, as he trudged along toward home Now the nest move on the checkerboard, he thought, is to get these tilings into the house without her knowing it How could he do it Then the thought struck him He could get his sister, who lived around the corner, to call Laurel over by phoue So, stopping at the first avail able telephone booth, he did so Then when the coast was clear he slipped into the house and was up to her room where he spread out the adorabfe out fit upon her snowy bed The blue against the white spread did look beautiful, even to a mans eyes Why had he never thought of anything like this before Why, it was more fun than all the parties he had ever attended You see, the true holiday spirit had hit Tom, and hit him very, very hard Suddenly he heard her call Oh Torn, is that you Supper is ready and your favorite apple dumplings Yes, dear, 1 am coming, he hurriedly replied, as he rushed down two steps at a tin But as they sat eating, lie noticed that she was not very hungry and wore a sad, tired expression She, no doubt, was thinking of the usual New Years escapade Tom chuckled within as he thought of his glorious sur prise He was wondering how to proceed After praising the delicious apple dumplings, for which he only received a fnlnt sickly smile she was not interested In such things just now, he arose from the table and began to dress for the evening When nil ready, he kissed ber goodby, and said he was going to the club He hated to do It for it nearly broke his heart to see her lips tremble as If about to utter a protest But she cared too much for his happiness to Interfere, so she only said I hope you have a good time, Tom He quickly turned away and left her Btandlng there, heartsick and weary Other years he had not been able to comprehend now when It dawned upon him, he felt like a brute and vowed a secret resolution with his heart alone never to leave her again Then he rushed around the corner to his sister and disclosed the whole beautiful secret She was delighted and gave him a big brotherly hug and kiss Then she said Why, Tom, that Is the best thing you ever did in your life Yes, I know it, Dot, and I am ashamed of myselfbut never again Then he made a dash for home and the surprise His wife had thrown herself upon the overstuffed davenport In despair, to await the awful midnight scene She arose quickly, as she heard his step in the hallway He must have forgotten something, poor dear, or he wouldnt be back so early, thought she The next moment he rushed in with a loud cry of Happy New Year, Laurel She could hardly believe her own ears as she gazed at him stupidly Why, whats the trouble, Tom Nothing, my dear, I only came to get you to spend New Years Eve with me, for a change How lovely, Tom, but you forgot that I have no party outfit Never mind about that, Just dress as quickly as you can, while I glance through the paper, She turned from hlra, the tears streaming down her face, as she thought of her only available gown, an ugly gray cashmere She could tear It Into shreds, she hated It so On the way upstairs she secretly wished that some disaster had come upon It, so that she would not be obliged to wear IL What s revelation,

after all, what a happy New Year c 1927 Western Newspaper Union fairy outfit spread out upon her bed The beaded dress of Tyson blue sparkled under the electric light and the dainty satin slippers with the spiderweb silk stockings were a perfect mutch Then the bonnet of blue silk chiffon trimmed with tiny forgetmenots capped the climax She snatched It up and placed It up on her head, forgetting everything else for the mo ment Tls strange what effect sud den happiness has upon us mortals It goes to show that all Is mental after all She was a new being as she fran tically called Tom In her bewilder ment He came bounding up the stairs, his eyes sparkling and his face wreathed in a smile Hurry up and put it on and lets see how you look We are going to the theater and then to the Crystal restaurant where we shall dine and dance You are to be the Cinderella of the evening and I the happy Prince Wont that be glorious, dear As the situation began to drawn upon her consciousness, she opened her hazel eyes and her pretty rosebud mouth both at once but the words would not comethey simply refused, so she began to tear off the old cloth ing and get Into the new She had Just finished when they were startled by the loud ringing of the door bell Laurel rushed down to answer it, with Tom close at her heels grinning from ear to ear, for he knew very well what It was Why Tom, how did you ever think of all this she asked For there were the sweet peas fresh from the florist Now I truly do feel like a real Cinderella, as she lovingly pressed the flowers against her soft cheek But Tom, I am afraid It is only a dream, and that I shall awake and find myself in the ash heap of despair, waiting for your return With a shudder she buried her head upon his shoulder It was far from a dream, for the next moment the shrill horn of a taxi was calling then from without Thus, arm in arm, they set forth for their New Years celebration together 1927 Wutiri NwtppT CnJoe Happy New Year By ELMO SCOTT WATSON OTH1NC1 so good for the inside of a man as the outside of a horseso say eth the doctor So runs an old saying author unknown and apparently there are a great many Americans who believe it Of course, there arent as many of us who answer to the call of boots and middles as there were in the old days when westward the course of empire takes its way For this is the motor age, and loday yotj hear more often the drone of airplane engine or the pop of automobile ex haust than you do the creak of saddle leather and the clopclop of horses hoofs Put for all of that, this form of travel still retains a wide popular ity and there are even those who point to a decided Increase in horse back riding for pleasure, If not for business, within recent years For despite the fact that modern America in the main goes about Its business now on pneumatic tires, theres still enough ridiif, ridin to keep the saddle manufacturers in bus iness for several years yet Perhaps one indication of a rather widespread interest in equestrianism is the amount of newspaper space that has been given within recent months to certain longdistance riding feats which have been under way A recent news picture which was widely published was that of Frank Heath of Silver Springs Md, standing with his horse at Milepost One In Washington, the point for the measurement of distances from the capital over all the highways of the United States Mr Heath, who is a war veteran, had been ridin, rid in to recover his health and In the course of a Journey of some two years and a half on his elevenyear old horse he had covered 11 ,iS7 miles and visited every state in the Union Last year press dispatches carried the news that Bert J McCloud of Fcrrt Morgan, Colo, was about to set out on a 36,XK mile trip on his eight yearold Arabian horse, Chief Sitting Bull lie was to attempt flu teat of riding from Denver to New York and then crisscross the United States am Canada several limes He, too, ex peeted to visit every slate in the Union, and at the start of hi trip he estimated that he would coei the C,, IKK miles In 1,210 days So far as Is known he is still ridin1, ridin lor a the end of hi trip Is a

McCloud, who is fifty years old and a former cowboy and Arizona Range, finished a 26,000mile trip at Phoenix Ariz, two years ago During this trip lie crossed a strip of desert in the great Southwest

single poem in ihe whole Wci, Last year when ilic people of KIIIMIS staged a big pageant in celebrating the famous Medicint Lodge Indian treaty and other events in the growth of their country, the printed programs for the pageant included several verses from Uidin in tlie Introduction to the episode depicting the day of the cowboy And that only one of Innumerable Instances of its popularity Youll come across It repeatedly In newspapers, youll hear it recited at gatherings of all kinds In tlie West, and when an oldlimer seta him down to write his reminiscences, the chances are that wmowhere In the book hell quote Ridin, or some other Badger Clark poems Ridin, Itself, has had nn Interesting history, as have some of the otherof Clarks poems After H varied career, including an experience as a plantation manager In Cuba where tropical fever all but wrecked hii health, Clark went down In the cow country of Arizona to recuperate In a letter to his mother he found prose too weak to express bis content with the wonderful desert country in which he found himself and he trhd to express it in verpe The result was Kidin His mother, with natural pride, sent the verse to a magazine, the old Pacific Monthly, and It was immediately accepted and published Thus Badger Clnrk started as the poet lariat of the West and gave to the West Its bestloved verses Easterners who discovered the West last summer for the first time, when President Coolldges decision to establish the summer White House in the Black hills of South Dakota brought to that section a horde Of tourists, also discovered this poet lariat and ac claimed film But for all of their praise of him the only authoritative word IP that uttered by an old cowman, when he said, after reading a book of

The design is drawn on the burlap with a very soft pencil or crayon by tracing part way around a medium sized plate as at A and then a saucer as at B Al lowance should be made for a hem and the plain border The three colors indicated in the diagram are repeated throughout this rug Some hook rug makers stretch the burlap foundation tightly over a wooden frame while they work Others think they do

addressed a letter to Chairman Stuart Rice of the Too Many central statistical Reports board the other day, in which he asked in effect why there is need for so many official reports from individuals and corporations engaged in business The Presidents letter indicated a feeling that, if there are so many reports as complaints have disclosed, something ought to be done about it It is now Mr Rices job to find out when, and where, and why concern ing these floods of reports which government demands But how about me finding out, too, I thought I started on the job like a bird dog through the bush It did not take long for me to realize that I had set myself to a task that is likely to occupy Mr Rice and his staff of several hundred perhaps a year to assemble an answer I learned a lot of things, however, and that is the reason I am writing about official reports at this time Speaking generally, at first, I can say that never in all history has there existed a condition such as business men and women now face, and, of course, within the last few years farmers have had to make out reports, too The reason for the statement that the condition is worse now is that the situation represents a growth Year after year, generation after generation, succeeding Presidents and succeeding congresses have added to the functions of the national government Government has gone into new fields, taken on new obligations, new commitments, increased its scope of regulation of this and that and the other As these functions have increased, more and more reports have been ordered and required more facts have been needed, and, in addition, bureaucrats have relegated tb themselves additional and unanticipated powers Now, what we have is a tangled mess, a slimy octopus whose tentacles reach into every corner and nook and cranny of the nation Before considering some of the horrible details which are horrible only because they are so general in application, it seems to me we can well consider who is responsible I mentioned above how succeeding Presidents and congresses have ex panded the functions of government Those Presidents and members of the congresses were elected by the voters The campaigns, in nearly every instance, included har ranguing for establishment of some new agency, passage of some law to drive money changers out of the temple to prevent grinding the little fellow, the poor, into the earth to regulate monopolistic business to care for the aged after their lives of useful work had been spent to collect new taxes here and there to assure the agricultural community a parity price for its products a thousand and one things were campaigned for or against So the people voted and elected a President or a senator or a representative They also elected a governor and the various officials of their state wherein a legislature operated as does congress for the country It has not mattered, therefore, whether there has been a Democrat or a Republican in the White House, except in the matter of degree to which the new laws have been en acted The growth has gone on just the same Every time a politician conceived an idea to get votes, he campaigned on itand a new law resulted With the new law came another deluge of official reports In a general way, therefore, the voters must accept some responsibility But the chief responsibility must rest with members of the house and senate and the various Presidents who have served in their turn Why Because no one can be expected to understand fully this gi gantic machine called government unless that person has had an opportunity to study the machine The layman has not had that chance Presidents and congresses have had the chance e e e To get down to the details that is, to relate some of the incidents which had become Thm Corunrmt known to the PresPay ident and which resulted in his letter to Mr Rice, we might begin with taxes TV head of a dairy company which operates in three states reported to his stockholders lately that in one year his firm had been compelled to make and file a total of 11,115 separate tax reports That company maintained a staff for the sole purpose of handling the various reports that had to go to the federal government, the governments of the states in which the company operated and the cities where milk and dairy products were old Having such a staff, the company knew exactly what it cost 1965,000 a year It should be added that the coat of these reports neces sarily became a part of the companys overhead and the overhead ex pense enters directly into the cost of the dairy products for which the consumer pays It could easily re sult in an increase of one cent per bottle for the milk served to its customers It takes no stretch of the imagination to conceive what the cost is for a large corporation to handle its official reports to various agencies of the national, state and local governments if that corporation operates, say, over half of the United States The expense runs into millions upon millions of dollars, annually Who pays You and l, the consumers I have not had access to all of the records required by the depart ment of agriculture because many of them are confidential, but I be lieve it is safe to say that some fiftyodd reports have to be made respecting every farmer who has signed up in compliance with the crop control laws and the land con servation program I think the farmer directly involved has from eight to ten of these reports and official documents the county committee which inspects and reports on him has others the county agent has still more reports to makeall still involving this one farmer but including others as welland these are followed by regional and national reports until all totals are entered here in Washington Or, at the risk of being too personal in dealing with a national problem, I might cite my own experiences Mine is what is called a oneman office That is to say, with the aid of a secretary, I must run my own little business But even as inconsequential as that office is, consider this situation I must file an income tax return annually That return must include an extra statement which covers a general outline of my meager income and the expenses of my office I must pay ten dollars a year for a license which gives me the privilege of writing to earn my living, but I must file a report before I get that license in the District of Columbia Twice a year, I must file a report of my gross return from my work in the District of Columbiaand pay a tax on that income Each month, I have to file a report to the District of Columbia employment board, showing how much I pay my secretary, how many hours a week she works and pay a tax which theoretically is saved up and paid to her in case she is unemployed Each month, also, I am required to file a report with the United States social security board, giving the same informationand pay another unem ployment tax And each three months, I am required to file another report with the social security board which seems to be a report showing that the monthly reports are correct e e It has been my good fortune to have gained a legal education by virtue of four long What years of night Thi Ue school, so I have not had to hire a lawyer to help me with my reports They have been comparatively simple, generally But that is not the case with a larger business Lawyers, however, would be no help in the circumstance that I am now about to relate A young lady who had served as my secretary several years left my service When I filed the last monthly report for her name and paid the tax, I attached a letter explaining that she was leaving and that there would be no further reports in her name as far as I was concerned The letter was written in the hope that the file would be complete This1 incident happened last October In March, 1938, I received a notice from the board, advising me that I had not paid the tax on the salary of the lady in question for the month of February, 1938 Not a word about the other months from October to February And if I didnt pay, said the notice, there were penalties, court proceedings, etc Yes, you guessed it I threw that notice into the waste basket Two months later, I had the honor to be visited by an inspector He was courteous and gentlemanly, but firm I must pay the taxnot for February, but for December You can let your own imagination run high, wide and handsome about the results of that visit Well, I merely bring out those facts because they show the need for the voters of the country to take some action on their own and quit following blindly the demagoguery of the politicians Previously in this column I have written about several corporations which, after filing several thousand reports, have had inspectors visit them to see whether they were complying with the law Since that time, one of the business men about whom I wrote originally has told me that other inspectors have come to see whether the first crew had complied with the law in making investigations Waatara Newspaper UaJoa, WHAT to EAT and WHY t ouitn foudiil OAjtetl Practical Advice on How to Keep Cool With Food By C HOUSTON GOUDISS 6 Cast 39tn Street Ntw York City F ROM the standpoint of health, the summer months constitute the most important period of the entire year They should be used to build stamina and vitality that will fortify your body against disease But to many people, the warm weather means merely a succession of exhausting days and restless nights And hardly a weekpasses without reports of heatprostrations Meeting the Challenge of Hot Weather While abnormal heat or hu midity may be a secondary cause, the real reason behind much warmweather suffering is a fail ure to meet the mhaUene J summer with a judicious diet Automobile owners know that no car is better than its engine, and in warm weather, careful drivers watch the gauge on the dashboard to be sure the engine does not become overheated But most peo ple give little thought to that most remarkable of all enginesthe human digestive machinery Compared to the engine in your body, the one in your car is a crude, rough affair that can stand no end of punishment Moreover, the automobile is driven for a certain length of time and then per mitted to rest But the marvelous mechanism which transforms your food into blood, bone, mus cle, and your capacity for thought and action is never wholly at rest Importance of the Right Pood If the automobile engine requires special attention, how much more important to stoke your body engine with food suited to the weather No one would think of going about in midsummer wearing the same garments that were worn all winter Yet many women continue to serve the same type of meals which were required to keep the body warm in winter Such a practice is sure to make you miserable But more than that, it lowers resistance and may, therefore, lead to illness Beating the Heat There are several factors to bear in mind when planning the hotweather diet The first secret of keeping cool is to supply the body machinery with food fuel that can be utilized with the least expenditure of energy Warm weather is responsible for muscular relaxation in the di gestive tract, as well as other parts of the body And yon ran the risk of digestive upsets, with their discomfort and health has ards, unless yon make every effort to lessen the work of yonr digestive system Eat lightly of rich fatty meats, pastries, rich cakes, sauces and gravies At all times, choose easily digestible foods Overeating Saps Vitality Dont overeat The task of handling excess food is a burden to the body at any season In hot weather, it will cause the body temperature to mount along with the thermometer, and may result in a serious upset It is also advisable to cut down somewhat on the quantity of heat and energy producing foods consumedthat is the carbohydrates and fats Need for BodyBuilding Foods The protein requirement remains the same summer andwinter Some people think that meat should not be eaten in summer, or should be reduced to a minimum But there is no closed season for growth in children, andT moreover, they play so constantly and indulge in such strenuous exercise that they break down body tissue very rapidly Adults also have,a constant need for proteinto rebuild the millions of cells that are worn out daily It Is desirable, however to avoid rich, fatty meats and to select protein foods that are more easily digestible, as chicken, lamb, lean beef and lean fish Special emphasis should be placed on milk, cheese and eggs These splendid foods not only supply Grade A protein, in an easily di gested form, but also fortify the diet with minerals and vitamins Liquids Essential To help yon keep cool, the summer diet mast include an abundance of liquids These are neces sary to make up for the large amounts of moisture lost from the body through increased perspiration Liquids may be taken in the form of milk, fruit juices and cooling drinks made from pure water and packaged beverage crystals containing dextrose, fruit acid, fla voring and coloring Hot Weather and Vitamin C Two European investigators recently found that exposure to high temperatures causes a 50 per cent loss in vitamin C from the body tissues And lowered vitamin C reserves are partially responsible for that tired feeling so often ex perienced in warm weather Their research indicates that drinking orange or lemon juice, which are rich in vitamin C, actually helps to mitigate the effect of the heat Choose Cold Drinks Carefully A cold drink is comforting on a hot day And in addition, sweetened beverages help to relieve fatigue, for their carbohydrate content supplies available energy Sugar is the least heating of the energy producing foods, for less than onesixteenth of the energy VVIftl this Mi Bulletin OR Planning a Correct Summer Diet S END far the free bulletin on looping Cool with Food, offered by C Hoastee Obadisa It ooiliaaa the priadplaa of planning a healthful summer diet, hats cooling and heating foods and is ooaplete with menu suggestions, Jttttaddraai C Houston Gondiat, 6 East 39th Street, New York Cay A post oaxd is all that is nsctmry to carry your request it supplies to the body is con verted into heat The rest goes into brain and muscle power Therefore, one good way to prevent needless fatigue in summer is to take a cool, moderately sweetened drink whenever you feel tired during the day This will satisfy thirst and ward off exhaustion like a rest by the road after a long hard tramp Too highly sweetened beverages, however, may be heating to the body, though they are cooling to the palate For this reason, it is advisable for bomemakers to mix their own cool drinks so that they ean control the amount of sweetening used It is possible to buy inexpensive packaged beverage crystals in a variety of flavors, which make delicious, refreshing and cooling drinks for general family use One of these contains added vitamin D, and as the sugar is added by the home maker, you can be the judge of how much to use This is an excellent idea, especially in house holds where there are children, for the homemade drink satisfies thirst, provides needed energy and discourages them from buying bottled beverages of doubtful purity Cooling Foods I offer free to readers of this column a new bulletin containing a list of cooling foods, plus practical, specific advice in planning the warm weather diet There are also

were not dead and were not going to be dead I tell you theyre on the job, looking for us It wont be long, now The planes kept flying over them They returned again and again, but they never hesitated Kitty Me dill stood on her rock and waved and screamed, but the pilots gave no sign of noticing her You fools, you fools You blind bats she sobbed, cursing Then she made a careful survey of their situation and realized that they were hidden from above by a ledge over the one on which they had crashed She might gesture and yell the rest of her life without being seen by the fliers Okeh, then Ill get out where they can see me, she decided She didnt try to tell Sarah Lynn She took half her matches and a sheaf of maps and charts and walked in the direction of Mt Umunhum, stopping constantly to mark the trail in some fashion, tying to the chap arral the ribbon from her hair, her belt, her pink satin garter When she found a bare rocky space she tore up her papers and gathered twigs and dry leaves and got her fire to going She broke off branches of manzanita and fed the flame, and she discovered that green stuff made a denser smoke In an incredibly short time the planes were back, three of them, dipping and circling She could see the pilots peering down She stood away from the fire and tore off her blouse and waved, and one of the airmen waved an arm in answer He flew perilously low, and she rec ognized the Hermod with Gunnar Thorwald leaning out to look at her She pointed back toward the place where she had left her passenger, and he nodded and flew away in the same direction Kits knees gave way and she sat down and the breeze blew acrid smoke into her eyes and mouth, but , she was up in a moment, running back to the wreck Babe, its okeh Hes here I mean, he will be in a minuteyour boyfriend in his bus Kid, its all right, do you hear me If Sarah Lynn heard she gave no evidence of it She seemed to be busily preoccupied talking to herself, and the free hand opened and closed and tensed stiffly, so Kitty MediU raced back again to keep her fire going and wait for Gunnar Thorwald He was an intolerable time in coming She had moments of panic in which she was sure he hadnt seen her after all that she had imagined the Hermod But at last she saw him working his difficult way swiftly through the thick, harsh underbrush She lives he demanded hoarsely Shes alive, sure Hurt How Iceblue gimlets, boring into her brain Well, you seeiVs on her On her back The ship is I tried to lift it off but Take me there She turned and ran back, Gunnar following so closely that he almost trod upon her Quick he kept laying Be quick When they reached the wreck Kitty Medill shut her eyes She didnt want to see his face when he saw Sarah Lynn, but it was almost as bad to hear him It sounded as if he bad flung himself down on the ground beside her, and Kit thought he must be talking in his own Swede lingo, for she could not understand the words, but she understood perfectly the terrible, racked sobbing she heard him working Kit hands away from her eyes ted at him He was working so furiously, so surely, with such fierce efficiency He wrenched and chopped and tore away, twisted and pried, dead white, with sweat pouring from him It seemed to St, watching the cold frenzy, that be could have done it all with bis bare hands Once he called to her and pointed to hit canteen, Give her water small drink at first He looked at Ar fuOy lor the first time Only tbat I may need your help,1 he said tevtSy, 1 would km you You neednt trouble yourself, ajar said Jauntily I can tend to lfct atC chore She crawled close Si Bavah Lynn and managed to tttake bat take three swallows Vwa other men came running thfough the chapatraL, presently, Ira young Bill Dana following Jssy tat to work instantly under Ooanars directions and that speeded ttpthe affair tremendously, Kit seals see, but she was sura the sjt could have dona it alone QM thing ha aid do alone Whan tha weight was finally dragged off atatab Lynn thaathars stood aside ajMlet htm stoop ana un bar She screened once, a Short, gfrsadftri cry, and he put her dawn on the blankets Kit had spread Sarah Lynn looked up at him, her eyes big in her burning face, recognizing him clearly She said thickly, Go away Dont come in here She held up a warning hand Fly away in the night Ladybug, lady bug, fly away home When he bent over her, murmuring, she pointed an accusing finger Her hoarse voice said, packed with scorn, Keep away from me, drunk en fool Once again, Sarah Lynn Dana, social registerite, member of the exclusive suburb of Danavale, became news, furnishing hectic headlines in San Jose and San Francisco papers for many days She had flown with the notorious Kitty Medill, famous stuntflier and moving picture double for dangerous scenes, who was making a first hop after being grounded by the Department of Commerce for reckless flying she was lost she was found,, and found by Gunnar Thor wald, Norwegian ace, her fiance she would die she would live she would live, but she would never walk again It was after this last announcement that Kitty Medill committed Well, not exactly, asked, but she talks about you a lot I mean, shes under opiates all the time, but she keeps murmuring your name Whenwhen can I see her Well, not just yet They seem to think it isnt wise The shock You will tell me when I can see her Ill tell you She put her wellgroomed hand for an instant on his arm Its a promise But in the meantime, you know, a little eating and sleeping Duncan Van Doren arrived within the first week after the accident Duncans wellbred face showed the effects of grief and shock its pleasant veneer was rubbed off Well, Im here now, he said, and Im here to stay until she gets well oror doesnt get well Mrs Dana gave him a wan smile Duncan dear It was certain, they had assured her, that her child would live But Bixford, who is the greatest bone specialist this side of Chicago, wont make any prognosis yet about the spine Conrad Jordan, who had left Tahoe instantly to join in the search, remained to look after Gunnar Though theres nothing I can do, he admitted to Lynn Dana, except Webster had shaken his head If he and the old lady hadnt given her the plane But, if she hadnt gone up with that miserable bum of a girl Yes, but if she hadnt been a flier it never could have happened to her, he said reasonably And I expect thats the way the family figures, her mother, anyway I know, Mary Dana Webster nodded I wish Sally Ann would come home She will, later, Lynn Dana said I cabled and wrote that her presence would mean more to Sarah Lynn in a little while, during the waiting periodweeks, months of it, probably All three of them were thinking that it might be years, as it had been for him You know, people are no end kind and sorry, but the drama goes out of the situ ation, presently I mean, they get used to the fact, and life goes on again, andwell, the calls and the flowers and books and things dwindle away There 11 be whole conservatories full of flowers now that Duncan is here, Mary said bitterly Frosting a Cake for Judges to Sample You neednt trouble yourself suicide, quietly and with a good deaLf walk of reticence and dignity They did not tell Sarah Lynn about Kitty Medill They did not, in the first days, tell her about anything She was constantly under opiates Sometimes, when their effect wore thin, she murmured feverishly, anxiously Gunnar the name came through the confusion again and again Gunnar Her mother, her beauty deepened and clarified by draining grief, hung over her in an agony of tenderness Yes, darling What is it, darling What are you trying to say Tell Mother Let me, the nurse said capably, taking her place Yes Gunnar 1 understand, she said slowly and clearly You want to see Gunnar The head, held rigidly in a frame, could not move, but the eyes rolled wildly in negation No, no, no She made a great effort Tell him tell him Yes I understand What shall I tell him Dont come in here Dont come in here Go away All right, dearie Ill tell him Now you go to sleep again Miss Burke straightened up She was young enough and gallant enough to revel in the drama of the case and she thought that particular phase of delirium pretty sad She followed Mrs Dana out into the hall Of course, that doesnt mean a thing, she was beginning briskly when the mother interrupted Mr Thorwald is downstairs Goodness, yes Always I dont know when he eats or sleeps He Then, will you kindly go down and tell him exactly what my daughter has just said The nurse hesitated But, you understand that she is delirious, Mrs Dana It doesnt mean The large and lovely lady drew herself to her full imposing height You will be good enough to doat I ask, Miss Burke Tell him exa what she said, and without co meat, she said leveQy Miss Burke disdained the elevat and ran down three flights of proof stairs on her heelless rubbe soles Aha So, thats the scenario she told herself, deciding to tell the Norwegian ace exactly what she pleased She found him MM usual walking up and down the long haU A change he demanded in a queer, spent voice MN6j We werent expecting any change, you know She is certainly no worse Sheshe asked for me up and down that horriblesmelling hall with him, burbling about all the injured spines Ive known cured, and dragging him out to eat infrequently He begrudges every instant away for fear it might be the time they would let him see her He shook his head And why cant he see her Why, I understand that no one his friend began On the contrary All her family, the old governess, the large, plushy, optimistic aunt Thats the abominable part of it The man in the wheeledchair was aghast He seemed to have aged years in days You think they are definitely determined to keep him away from her She isnt conscious enough to ask for him Even if she is, they wont let him in Mary Dana Webster said hotly She managed to run in to see Lynn Dana every day for a few minutes of aching sympathy It simply burns me up to look at him, she told her husband He knows what it means Do you suppose he blames himself, Neddy she asked him That makes it a million times worse if he does Well, he might at that, Ned CHAPTER XIII Gunnar Thorwald was pacing the corridor when Duncan Van Doren got out of the elevator Duncans head was down he did not see the flier Gunnar stared incredulously, striding toward him, thrusting out an arm to block his way You have seen her There was an emphasis on the first pronoun which made the question at once a demand and a protest Duncan looked at him with swimming eyes, nodding, his face convulsed He manifested no resentment, no conviction that before him stood the cause of the tragedy only an engulfing flood of sympathy and sorrow He gulped, groping for his handkerchiefHorriblecruel Gunnar pushed past him toward the elevator, but it rose as he reached it, so he turned and went leaping up the stairs A woman with a big bouquet of garden flowers shrank out of his way Mercy she said to her husband That fellow looks like a mental case He ftung himself through the door in spite of the card in the brass frame which read Dana Drs Dunn and Bixford NO VISITORS but he stood still on the threshold, staring Mrs Dana, standing at the window, her back to him, tur d at the sound of his entrance Please leave the room she said in an an gry whisper No callers are permitted My daughter is Gunnar was not listening There was nothing she could tell him about her daughter He continued to stand still, looking at her Leave this room instantly 1 will ring for an orderly to put you out Mrs Dana cried wildly Havent you done enough Arent you satisfied with the suffering, the agony she was bearing down on him in soft fury Do you want to kill her But Gunnar had reached the bed He had leaned over Sarah Lynn, shaking, and said her name She was as nearly white as the olive and amber and ivory of her skin could be, and her nose, her brow, her chin, Jier cheekbones were as sharp and salient as if they had been chiseled from marble Her eyes flew open, bigger and darker than ever, sunk in shadowed hollows, and a startled recognition came into them at once and a blaz ing joy TO BE CONT1NVED Fierceness of Bald Eagle Is a Myth Never Saw Bird Attack, Student Says The perennial yarns of the predatory fierceness of the bald eagle once again have been dusted off and are being broadcast throughout the land Just a short time ago I read in a national magazine of wide circulation that the eagles are seldom gentle and are among the fiercest birds of prey, writes N R Casillo in Nature Magazine They attack sheep, rabbits and often wolves Eagles have tremendous appetites and have been known to devour a calf, a sheep and a dog in a single week The author of the article, however, fails to disclose whether it was a single bird or a group of them that devoured the formidable repast But, he does convey the impression that eagles had actually brought down the animals mentlonec In another influential periodical it was averred that eagles have been known to attack children, and one was seen to fight and carry off a wildcat Paradoxically, in another issue of the same paper there was an item shout an eagle being ignominiously vanquished by a sixmonthsold Plymouth Rock rooster, fend the latter actually killingthe large bird of prey With apologies to the Bard, what manner of bird is this It surely cannot be the same bird that I observed daily during my threemonths stay in the Alaskan archi pelago a period during which I never once saw an eagle attack anything alive, unless the few salmon that they pirated from ospreys could be considered living prey My observations of the birds were not casual, but were systematically conducted studies i setaa Effect of Carbon Dioxide Carbon dioxide has a far greater effect than oxygen on the human respiratory system If the carbon dioxide in a mans blood is in creased by 3 per cent, his rate of breathing is doubled If tt is decreased by 3 per cent, says a writer in Colliers Weekly, his breath ing stops completely Considerable oxygen lack has its effects, but they are not comparable with those of the slightest change in carbon U oxide A A professional cake baker, frosting one of the hundreds of cakes which were made up in the Experimental Kitchen Laboratory, main tained by C Houston Goudiss in New York City, In the course of selecting the winners in his receat Cake Recipe Contest By C HOUSTON GOUDISS N TATURALLY, 1 am accustomed to seeing exhibits of delicious and interesting foods in the Experimental Kitchen Laboratory that I maintain in New York City Bui in all the years of its existence, it has never been a busier nor a more inviting place than during the last few weeks when the home economists on my staff have been busily testing and judging the many fine cake recipes sub mitted by readers of this paper in our recent Cake Recipe Contest Imagine, if you can, a big cheerful and colorful kitchen filled with long tables upon which row after row of handsome cakes were arrangedproudly testifying to the skill of the homemakers who cherish the recipes from which they were made Every Type of Cake Entered A whole tableful of white cakes, with and without icing Chocolate and cocoa cakes of every possible type All manner of cakes, fra grant and delicious spice, ice cream, honey, caramel, maple syrup, nut, date, pineapple, or ange, lemon, butterscotch, jam, banana, raisin, oatmeal, cocoanut and marble cakes Cakes baked in long sheets, square cakes, round cakes, layer cakes Oldfashioned cakes from grand mothers recipe books Very modern and uptodate cakes And even one that was said to have been a favorite with General Robert E Lee Ive never seen any thing to compare with the collection, even at the biggest State Fair Do you wonder that the home economists on my staff required several weeks to pick the winners For with such a wealth of exceptional cakes from which to choose, selecting those for top honors, was indeed difficult The cake bakers were trained for their work They followed the recipes precisely They measured accurately They checked oven temperatures The scoring system was highly scientific And we can say with conviction that no matter how close the race, the winners deftAdd

Ftacktiey Fire Oept HOWARD READ, Chief The missu, came marching in with a new hnt yesterday She was a happy a a circus poster Ive learned one thing about th hats she buys A hat is a tonic to her If shes feeling blue, nothing gives her a lift like a new hat Now, I could trade In my old grey fedora without raising my blood pressure a notch But 111 admit that more than once Ive bought new briar pipe I didnt needjust because life was getting a little bit monotonous With Buck Howell its something else again When Buck it feeling low, he gets over it by blowing o a brokendown clarinet he hssnl mastered In twenty years From sphere I sit, different people are always going to respond tt different things in different Ways So lets keep a friendly understanding of what other folks get out of a new hat an old clarinet, a chocolate soda or a temperate glass of sparkling beer or ale now and then, fti y i wru Vitr ii JL CmrbJ iMfc Vit Statu Bnwm fo szzZtZZfZtjiiFl 9W m GOODBYE TO PUMPING
