For my own parti I reckon the Sheeny—ne'a a Jew boy, of course—is a deal tougher than Smith*'" '*'.'. And just ifee&> Belwya, who knew the chief of police was on board, put his head into the admiral's cabin. "Gould I apeak to yon a moment, Sir JMefcardr l , And Dicky Dunn went oatside. "I thought aa you had this Cart- WT4gh-t with ye*, air, eaid Selwyn, nk^t I"ovgfct to teU yott a queer yarn that' nas Just boen brought me by one c f t h e quartermasters. It seems that 3' e of the men has a story that you ee fcad a fight with Shanghai Smith Bid hurt him badly. It was in Austtfclf* I believe—in Melbourne." "Stay a minute," said the admiral; 'let me think. Yes, by Jove, I did have a row on Sandrldge Pier years a?o, and I broke the man up so that ho "had to go to a hospital. And his name—yes, it was Smith. Thanks, B**wyn. I'll see if this man ever was In Australia." He went back to Cartwright "Now as to the Sheeny, admiral," said Cartwrigkt, who was beginning to feel comfortable. "Never mind the Sheeny, Mr. Cart- WTight," said his host; "do you know Smith's record? Where did he come from?" "He came from Melbourne," replied the chief. And the admiral slapped his leg. "That's the man, I believe." "Why?" "Never mind why," said Dunn. "But supposing it was, could we prove it against "him?" " "I doubt it," said Cartwright cheerfully. "Probably no one would know it but his runner. And Bill Haines would perjure himself as easy as drink lager." "Bat if we did prove it?" "There'd be an appeal, and so on," said the chief. He indicated large and generous delay on the part of the merciful Americas law by a wave of his hand. "You see we cbuldn't prove, anyhow, that he knew you was you," said Cartwright, "and If I know my own business, It wo^uld come down to a matter of assault and so many dollars." "That's what I imagined/' said the admiral. "So I proposed to take the matter in hand myself and relieve you of it For though Smith, or the real man, might come off easily, If I Choose to hare it made an international business some one will have to pay who is not guilty." 'That's likely enough," said Cartwright uneasily. "O-a the whole, admiral, I'd rather you took the job on yourself, provided it was put through quietly. What do you propose?" Dunn put his hands in his pockets, and "quarter-decked" his cabin. "I want to be sure it's Smith— "No, I d o n \ " i*id tfcMMjmJral. "Oh, come." cried Ca*t«rlffat, "the man we don't arxiwkjjilU*. the man who done/It*: >- -v ^ - "Ye*, on*—•!•-.•:«*•>••*"' "Well," said Oattwrtght, "I understood you didn't particularly hanker to catch the under-strapper." "Ah," said the admiral, "of course I see. You mean—~" "Your plan is excellent." morally sure. How can I be made euro? Ill tell you now what I know atxmt him." He repeated what Selwyn had said, .and told him the story of his having fought a- man on Sandrldge Pier at {Melbourne fifteen years before. i. "His name was Smith." * "It fits as neat as a pair of hand- Cuffs" said the chief of police. "I'll fhink it over and let you know. Stay, /Birrea, I've got it now. Look here, admiral, now you mark me. This is a scheme. It'll work, or my name's ttonnls. 111 have it put about in the .flight quarter that though there ain'i isjridencn to touch the real man who "• worked the racket on you, it is known Who actually corralled you and shoved j©o- « e the -California. I'll *• get •'the froper may to give It away that a "I mean the boarding house boss will shove the runner that did it out of sight. And then vjull know him by reason of the very means he takes not to be given away. For of course he'd reckon that the runner on being held would squeal." "It's a good plan," said the admiral. "And when I know, what kind of punishment would Mr. Smith like least of all?" ' "• "Provided ycu remember he's an American citizen, I dou't cara whnt you do," replied the chief. "But If you asked me I should get him served the way he's served you. Shanghai Smith among a crowd of sailormen Ja an American ship, such as the'Harvester (and the skipper of the Harvester hates him like pplson)—and she sails in three days—would have a picnic to recollect all his life. For you Bee, they know him." "I'll think it over/' said the admiral. "Your plan is excellent." "So it is," said Cartwright, as he was rowed ashore, "for Smith ain't no favorite of mine, and at the same time it will look as if I gave him the straight racket, anyhow." Ho sent an agent down to the water front that very night. The man dropped casual hints at the boarding houses, and ho dropped them on barren .ground.everywherebutatShanghai Smith's. "Jehoshaphat," said Smith, "BO that's the game!" Peter Cartwright had, in his own language, "reckoned him up to rights," for the very first move that Smith played was to make a break for Billy's room. As the runner had heen up most of the night before enticing sailormen off a Liverpool ship just to keep his hand in, he was as fast asleep as a bear on Christmas day, and he was mighty sulky when Smith Shook him out of sleep by the simple process of yanklug his, pillow from under his head. "Ain't a man to get no sleep that works for you?' he demanded. "What's up now?" "Hell is up, and fizzling," replied Smith. "I've had word from Peter Cartwright that you'll be arrested in the morula' if you don't skin out, Ifs the admiral. I wish I'd never set eyes on him. tCb-me, dress and skip; 'twon't do for.you to be jailed; mebbe they'd hold you on some charge till you forgot all you owe to me. There ain't no such thing as real gratitude left on earth." Billy rose and shuffled into his clothes sullenly enough. "And whore am I to skip to?" "To Portland," said Smith; "the Mendocino leaves in the mornin' for Crescent City and Astoria, don't she? Well, then, go with her and lie up with Grant or Sullivan in Portland till I lot you know the coast is.clear. And here's twenty dollars; go easy with it." He sighed to part w4th the money. And in the morning, when Smith heard that ten runners at least had been urgently invited to interview Mr. Peter Cartwright, he was glad to be iible to declare that BIHy was not on hand. "He's gono East to see-his old man," ho said drily. "And as his father is a millionaire and lives in the Fifth avenue, N' York, he couldn't afford to disregard his dyin' desire to see him." "You are a daisy, Smith," said the police officer who had come for Billy. "Between you and me, what have you done with him?" Smith shook his head. "I Bhot him last night and cut him up and pickled him in a cask," he said, with a wink. "And I've shipped him to the British ambassador at Washington,-C. 0. D." "You're as close as a clam, ain't you, Smith? But I tell you Peter is havin' a picnic. This admiral's game was pi ay in' it low down on Peter, whoever did it. There are times when a man oan't help his friends." Smith lied freely. "Yon can tell Peter I had nothrn'to do with it." "Yes, I can tell him!" said the police officer. And ho did tell him.

Selwyn instinctively put his hand to the back of his head. "Yes, Sir Richard. They sand' bagged me, as they call it, and kicked me, too." "I'm pretty sure I know who did it" said the admiral, "and I'm proposing to get even with the man my- "What's up now?" self. I like- getting even in my own fashion. What would you do if I could tell you who it was that laid the plot against us that night?" "I—I'd punch his head, sir." The admiral nodded. "I believe I did punch his head, years ago, Selwyn. But he was looking for a fight and found It, and ought to have been satisfied. Between you and me and no one else, the,chief of police here and I have fixed this matter up between ue. He says that he has no evidence, and the only man who might have given the affair away has been shipped off somewhere. I'm going to show Mr. Smith that he didn't make a bucko mate of me for nothing. And I want you to help. I've got a scheme." He unfolded it to Selwyn, and the young lieutenant chuckled. "He used to be a seaman," said the admiral, "but for twelve years he's been living comfortably on' shore, sucking the blood of sailors. And if I know anything about American ships —and I do—he'll find three months in the fo'castle of this Harvester worse than three years in a ;'i'.I. Now we're going to invade the United States quite unofficially, with the connivance of the police!" He lay back and laughed. "Oh, I tell you," said the admiral, "he ran against something not laid down in his chart when he fell in with me. You can come ashore with me now and we'll see this Cartwright American ways suit me, after all." * * *. "Then I understand, Mr. Cartwright," said the admiral, an hour later, "that there won't be a policeman anywhere within hail of -this Smfth's house to-mcrrow night?" T v e got other business for them," said Peter. "And I can see Mr. Sant here this afternoon?" "I'll undertake to have him here if you call along at three."

Japanese, wedding presents are not of the practical character favored in our part of the world, but are .chiefly Intended to express some suitable sentiment. Thus at a recent native wedding, the most prominent gift was a mountain formed of rolls of white and red; floss silk, the ends of each roll being tied with parti-colored twine in hard knots, emblematic of the indissolubility of the marriage tie. The floss silk typified gentle but enduring constancy, the strength of its skein contrasting with their softness and flexibility. Round t'ae base of the mountain were ornaments of fresh rice Btraw, plaited into the forme of the storks and tortoises of longevity, and the pine bamboo and plum of perpetual bloom, while into the loops of the plants were thrust pieces of the dried.Bonlto fish, a favorite accompaniment of wedding presents, its camej "Kataurwobcshi" being a homonym for the three Chinese characters signifying victorious, manly and brave. Proper Weight of Children. In children at the "growing period," we are assured by a recent medical writer weight is quite the most important indication of general health that we can have. The importance of keeping a careful and systematic record of weight at this time cannot be exaggerated. Snch observations, taken, say, at Intervals of two weeks apart for several years, are of great value to the physician in furnishing information regarding the child's real condition, of health. A growing child, the writer goes on to say, should weigh, at 5, about a pound for every inch of its height, and after this the increase should be about two pounds per Inch Of growth, of a little merer—Wheir welght exceeds this it is rather a sign of good health than otherwise* The 'Possum's Mistake. A 'possum more bold than prudent, wandered into the heart of Jbplin the other night. His rashness cost him dear. A venerable negro came alon£ and saw him on the top board of a neighbor's ferce.

Napoleon said that the best fed soldiers were his best soldiers, for fear and nervousness come quickly when the stomach is not nourished. Nervous fear is a sure sign that the body is not supplied with the right food. ' " " •• ' '*' '•';:" A Connecticut lady says: "For many years I had been a sufferer from 1 digestion and. heart trouble and in almost constant fear of sudden death, the most aoute su?ering possible. Dieting brought on weakness, emaciation and nervous exhaustion and 1 was a complete wreck physically and almost a wreck mentally. "I tried 'many foods, but could sot avoid the terrible nausea followed by vomiting that came after eating until I tried Grape-Nuts. This food agreed with my palate and stomach from the start This was about a year ago. Steadily and surely a change from sickness to health came until now 1 have no symptoms of dyspepsia and can walk 10 miles a day without being greatly fatigued. I have not taken a drop of medicine since I began the use of Grape-Nuts and people say I look many years younger than I really am. "My poor old sick body baa been made over and I feel aa though my head had been too. Life is worth living now and I expect to enjoy it for many years to come 1f 1 can keep away from bad foods and have Grapo- Nuts." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

The atomic theory has be*n abandoned by all; the atom is known positively to be decomposable. It is the number of its corpuscles, or ions, that determines the character of the atom. An atom made up of 700 corpuscles is a hydrogen atom; one of 11,200 corpuscles is oxygen, etc. But what are the corpuscles? Sir William Crookes points out that in 1875 that daring spirit William Kingdon Clifford, advancing upon somo vague speculations of Faraday and Sir WiUiam Thomson (now Lord Kelvin), wrote definitely: "There is great reason to believe that every -material atom carriee upon; It a small electric current— 1: It does not wholly consist of this ^urrejEit;:; V B e w a r e of Ointment A for Catarrh t h a t Contains Mercury.

A general review of tbe postal scandals has been called forth by tbe publication of ao abstract of the report of Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow, accompanied by a memorandum by President Roosevelt. The conclusion of the report states that forty inspectors haye been era ployed every day since the investigation was ordered by the President, and that the records of 1000 postoffices were examined, as were also the files of several divisions of tbe Department for the last ten years. From the evidence of fraud found, lour officers of the department have resigned, thirteen bave been removed and ten indicated. Forty-four indictments were returned, involving thirty-one persons, Mr. Bristow estimates at about $400,- 000 the annunt received directly by those ensaged in tbe fraudulent transactions, bat says that this amount is insigni icant compared with the losses to the government resulting from tbe purchase, at high prices, of unnecessary and inferior supplies.

Letter of Sir Henry Thompson to the '-•J Archbishop of Canterbury. "I have l o n g had the oonviotion that there is no greater cause of evil, moral aud physical, in this country than the use of alcoholic, beverages. I do not mean by this that extreme indulgence which produces drunkenness. The habitual use of fermented liquors to an extent far short of what is necessary to produce that coaditiou, and such as is quite common in all ranks of society, injures the body and diminishes the mental power to an extent which 1 think few people are aware of. Such, at all events, is the result of observation during more than twyenty years of professional life devoted to hospital practice, and to private pra ctice in every rank above it. T h u s I have no hesitation in attributing a very large p r o p o r t i o n of some of the most painful and dangerous maladies which c o m e under my notice, as well as those which every medical man has to treat, to the ordinary and daily use of fermented drink taken in tbe quanity which is conventionally deemed moderate. . Whatever may be said in regard to its evil influence on the mental and moral faculties, as to the fact above stated I feel that I have a right to speak with authority: and I do so eoley because it appears fx>7 me a duty, especially at this moment, not to be silent on a matter of such extreme importance. I know full well how unpalatable is such truth, and how such a declaration brings me into painful'conflict, I had almost said; with the national sentiments and the time honored ai.d prescriptive usages of our race. Cherishing such convictions, I rejoice to observe an endeavor to organize on a large scale in the national church a special and systematic plaa for promoting temperance, aud I cannot but regard this as an event of the highest significance. I believe that no association in this country has means to influence society in a favorable direction at a l l comparable to that existing in the English Church, and the example and teaching of its clergy may d a more than any of the other associations which have long labored with the same object to diminish the national ignorance on this subject,and the consequent national vice. My m«nn object is to express my opinion as a professional man in relation to the habitual employment of fermented liquor as a beverage. B u t if I ventured one step further, it would be to express a belief that there is no single habit in this country which so much tends to deteriorate th<i qualities of the. race, and so much disqualifies it for endurance in that competition which, in the nature of things, must exist, and in which struggle the prize of superiority must fall to the best and to the s t r o n g e s t " MlniitoOou|fcOajrt ST8AHT, E of MICHIGAN.

They must walk 00 stilts t* order to oversee their vast flocks of sheep as well aa to pass through ths ' bogs. These shepherds—men, women sad children—walk continuously oa stilts j from six to eight feet nigh. These, stilts are merely fastened to the feet Sometimes the stilts have uprights reaching as far aa the knees and bound firmly to the lega. Generally these shepherds and shepherdesses carry long poles, which they can use either aa balancing poles or as supports— very long canes, as it were— reaching to the ground. They become to expert in stilt walking that It ia no unusual sight to aee a shepherdess striding along on stilts that raise her six feet above tbe ground, with her balancing pole strapped to her back and her hands busily knitting socks for husband, son or brother. Tbe complete unconcern with which these- country folk make their way along on stilts ia astonishing. One might almost say that tbe chlldrsjf. have stilts given to them Instead est cradles.—Washington Star. flood For Children The pleasant to take and barmelesi One Minute Cough Cure gives immediaterelieHnallea& es ot'c„ugh,eroirpand lagrippe because it does not pass immediately into the stomach, but takes effect right at tbe seat of tbe trouble.

Proaidewt RoaoreU's message to the second soesion of the Fifty-eighth Congress is srabstftBtiaity as follows: To the Senate and House of Represent With a ttatfoRi as with a man the moat importnnOi things are those of the boosehold, and therefore tha country la especially to be congratulated on what has been accomplished In the direction of pro. riding for the exercise of supervision over the gfieat corporation* and corauinajtlons of/corporations engaged, in Interstate commerce, The Congress has created the Department of Commerce and Labor, tneJudtng the Bureau of Corporations, with, for the first time authority to secure pYoper publicity of such proceedings of these greet corporations as the public ha*'the1 right to know. It has provided for,the expediting of suits for the enforcement of the Federal anti-trust law; and by another law it has secured equal treatment to aU producers in the transportation tot their goods, thus taking a long stride forward in making effective the work of the Interstate Commerce Cc-nmisalort. *' ' ' ' ' Department of Commerce and Labor. The establishment of' the Department cf Commcice and Labor, with the Bureau ef Corporations thereunder, marks a real advanoe in the direction-of doing all that is possible for the solution of the questions vitally affecting capitalists and wageworkers. Functions of New Department The preliminary work of the Bureau of Corporations In the department baa shown the wisdom of its creation. Publicity in corporate affairs will tend to do away with ignorance, and will afford facts upon which intelligent action may be taken. Systematic, intelligent investigation is already developing facts the knowledge of which is essential to a right understanding of the needs and duties of the business, world The oprporntion which is honestly and fairly organized, whose Managers in the conduct of tts business recognize their obligation to deal t-uarely with their stockholders, their competitors, and the public, has nothing to fsar from such supervision. The purpose of this bureau Is not to embarrass or assail legitimate business, but to aid in bringing about a better Industrial condition— a condition under which there shall be obedience to law and recognition of public obligation by all corporations, great or small. The Department of Commerce and Labor will be not only the clearing house for Information regarding the business transactions of the nation but the executive arm of the government to aid is. strengthening our* domestic and foreign markets, in perfecting our transportation facilities, in building up our merchant marine, in preventing the entrance- of umJoatrahie immigrants, mImproving commercial and Industrial eondl* tlons. and in bringing together on common ground thooe necessary partners in Industrial pnjgrtsf^cwrttal • *pd, labor. Commerce ^ctweeft 41»Wtions Wsteadily growings laKvohMne, and The", tendency of the tlmte *» toward closer trade relations. Constant watchfulness I*.needed to secure 40 Americamyhe chance toparticlpate to the beat advantage in fofsign trade: and ve. „rn»y confidently expect that the rtejr'elftpavtsaent will Justify the expectation of ita creators by the exercise of this watchfulness, as well as. by the busmcealthe administration of such laws relating t o our internal affairs as are intrusted to Its care. '• Capitar and Labor. The consistent policy of the national government, so far as it has the power, is to hold In check the unscrupulous man, whether employer or employe: but to refuse to weaken individual initiative or to hamper or cramp the industrial development of the country. We recognize tpat this Is an ora of freedom and combination, in which great capitalistic corporations and labor unions have become factors of tremendous importance in nil industrial centers. Hearty recognition ia given the far-reaching, beneficent work which has been accomplished through both corporations and unions, and the line as between different corporations, as between different unions, ia drawn as It Is betweenHdhTereau^ndlvlduala; that is, it Is drawn on conduct, the effort beting to treat both organised capital and organised labor 'slllte; asking nothing save the Interest of each shall be brought into harmony w1ta<the interest of the general public andr that the conduct ot each shall conform to the fundamental rules of obedience to law, of individual freedom, and or justice and fair dealing towards all. Whenever either corporation, labor union, or individual disregards tho/law or acta in a spirit of arbitrary ana tyrannous interference with the rights of others, whether corporations or individuals, then < where the Federal Government has jurisdiction, it will, see to it .that the mlsojonduct is stopped, payingnot the slightest heed to the position or jjower of the corporation, the union or the individual, but only to one vital fact—that Is, the question whether or not the conduct of the Individual of aggregate of individuals is In accordance with the law of the land. Every man must be guaranteed his liberty and his right te do as he tikes with his property or his labor, eo long as he does not Infringe thj^rjgsrf* of others. No man is above th«*4ewl- and no man Is below It; •nor do we ask any man's permission when we require him to obey it. Obedience to the law Is demanded as a right: not asked as a favor t,, Receipts and Expendtturttw-- - From all sources, exclusive of the postal service, the receipts of the government for tho last fiscal* year aggregated H&:45d.f74. The expenditures -tor . the same period were >5Qe,0C9.007, tha surplus tor t i e fiscal year being JS4 VI,667, The Indications art that the surplus for the fiaeai jteat «UL ha **vy; s<o*tt, tf ndeed there be any surplus. From July to Ifovember the receipts front customs ttes/e, approximately, nine million dollars leas- than tba^es^pts fnflrn UtS/ same , source for a corresponding portion of last year. Should this; decrease continue at the same ratio throughout 'the fiscal* yeas, the Jurpjut would he reduced by. approxin»atei*. jthirty mUlion d\o|lars. Should U\e revenue from Customs ahffef much further decrease duiing the fiscal year, the -surplus.would Vanish. A large surplus) ss certainly undesirable. Two: years ago the .war taxes were taken off with the express intention of equalising the government receipts and expenditures, and thoUgh the" first year thereafter still ahowed a surplus, it now seems likely tnat a substantial equality of revenue and expenditure will be attained. fJuefl being the ease it is of great moment both to exercise care and -economy in appro* priatlons, end to scan sharply any change in our fiscal revenue System which may Svofttt Wfcleh JUsV Up- to tb* «**»> lishmsnt of ths Now Republic Give* In ««ta»i-Pon«y of tfta Oovern- #mWt Tbv¥trt| CsprUI and Labori- \ IfiiJ!!.?",1! ^ . ^ ^ . ¾ . . ^ . . ^ ^ PuMlo i-andt and Postal .Frauds— Kood for troatios Making Britery ExtradltatJo, ' ties ffnd competent legal assistance tor J women from the farms to the cities: for the investigations and trials which will they rebelled at loneliness and lack of «•*« economy Uv aur expenditures Is empha sifted by the fact that we can not afford to, be parslmonjous in providing for what ts essential to our national well-being. Careful economy wherever possible will alone prevent our income from falling below the point roqulred in order to meet our genuine' needs. Needs of Financial Situation. The integrity of our currency Is beyond ducstton, and under present conditions it would be unwise and unnecessary to attempt a reconstruction of our entire monetary system. The same liberty should be granted the Secretary of the Treasury to deposit customs receipts as is grunted him In the. deposit of receipts from other source*, in my message ef Dec. 2, 1902, I called attention to certain needs ot the financial situation, and I again ask the consideration of the Congress for these questions. ^ Gold and Silver Standard. During the last session of the Congress, at the suggestion of a joint note from the Republic of Mexico and the Imperial Government of China, and in harmony with an act of the Congress appropriating 925,000 to pay the expenses thereof. a commission was appointed to confer with the principal European coontries In the hope that some plan might be devised whereby a fixed rate of exchange could be assured between the gold-standard countries and the silver-standard countries. This commission has filed its preliminary report, which has been made public. I deem it important that the commission be continued, and that a sum of money be appropriated sufficient to pay the expenses of its further labors. With regards to t h e improvement of the American merchant marine the President recommends tbat the Congress direct the Secretary of the Navy, the Postmaster-General, and the Secretary of Commerce and Labor, associated with such a representation from the Senate and House of Representatives as the Congress in its wisdom may designate, to Berve as a commission for the purpose of investigating and reporting to the Congress at its next session what legislation is desirable or necessary for the development of the A m e r i c a merchant marine and American comitrerce, and incidentally of a national ocean mail service of adequate auxiliary naval cruisers and navel reserves. On the subject of immigration the message calls attention to the report of a committee of New York citizens oi high standing, Messrs. Arthur v. Vriesen, Lee K. Prankel, Eugene A. Philbin, Thomas W. Hynes, and Ralph* Traufman, wEich deals with" the whole situation at length, and concludes with certain recommendations for administrative and legislative action. It i s how receiving the attention of the Secretary of Commerce and Labor. The-, message^ continues: Arrtl-Tcust Laws. On the subject of the anti-trust measures which have been dealt with by the Congress the President says: In my last annual message, in connection with the sublect of the due regulation of combinations of capital which are or may become Injurious to the public, I recommended a special appropriation for the better enforcement of the anti-trust law as it now stands, to be expended under the direction of the Attorney- General. Accordingly (by the legislative, executive, and Judicial appropriation act of February 2S. 1£03, 32 Stat., 854. 904), the Congress appropriated, for the purpose of enforcing the various Federal trust and Interstate-commerce laws, the sum of Ave hundred thousand dollars, to be expended under the direction of tho Attorney-General in the employment of special counsel and agents In the Department of Justice to conduct proceedings and proaecjujions under said laws In the courts of the United States, I now recommend, as a matter of the utmost- Importance and urgency, the extension of the purposes of this appropriation, so that it may to available, under the direction of the Attorney-General, and until used; for the' due enforcement of the. lawsvOfjtaV Wni.ted Stages in general and esp^oiayy ox the civil and criminal )aw8Jrolating to pAibtfe lands and tho laws relating to postal crimes and •Offenses and the subject ot naturalisaton. Recent investigations have shown a deplorable state of affairs in these-three matters of vital concern. By various . frauds and by forgeries and perjuries, thousands of acres of the public domain, embracing lands of different character and extending through various sections of the country, have been dishonestly acquired. It Is hardly necessary to Urge the importance «..f recovering; these dishonest acquisitions, stolen from the people, and of promptly and duly punishing the offenders. . , . Postal Frauds. X speak In another part of this message of the widespread crimes by which the sacred right of citiaenshlp is falsely asserted and that "Inestimable heritage" perverted to base ends. By similar means —that is, through frauds, forgeries, anil perjuilee. and by shameless briberlesthe laws relating; to the proper conduct of the public service In general and' to the due administration * of the Postofflco department have been notoriously violated, and anaaav indictments have been found, and the consequent prosecutions ;Sfe h* course nf,,heailrg- or on, the evo thereof.

The need ot maxa ef*e**Jvo, treaties covering this crime, Is manifest. The .exposures and prosecutions of official- corruption4 hi St. bdufs,- Mai. and other cHles and states^ hftt/e resulted ia a nujmbar of givers and takers of bribes beapming fugitives tn foreign lands. Bribery has hot been included in extradition trestles heretofore, a s the necessity for it has not arisen. While there may have been as much oflloial corruption In former years, there has been more developed and brought to light m "the Immediate past than in the preceding century of our country's history, it should Le the policy or the United States to leave no place on earth where a corrupt man fleeing from this country can rest In' peace. There Is no reason why bribery, should not be included in all treaties a s extraditable. The recent amended treaty with Mexico, whereby this crime was put In the list of extraditable offenses, has established a salutary precedent in this regard. Under this treaty the State Department has asked, and Mexico has granted, the extradition of one ot the St. Louis bribe givers. Thero can be- no crime more serious than bribery. Other offenses violate prfe law, while corruption strikes at the foundation of all law. Under our form of government all authority Is vested In the people and by them delegated to those who represent there in ofnclal capacity. The exposure and punishment of public corruption is an honor to a nation, not a disgrace. The shame lies in toleration, not in correction. No city or state, still less the nation, can be Injured by the enforcement of law. As long as public plunderers when detected can find " a haven of refuge in any foreign land and avoid punishment, just so long encouragement is given them to continue their practices. If we fail to do all that In us lies to stamp out corruption we can not escape our share of responsibility for the guilt. The first requisite of successful self-government is unflinching enforcement of the law and the cutting out of corruption. Alaskan Boundary. The message gives in detail t h e causes which led to the appointment of t h e Alaskan boundary commission, and congratulates both countries on the satisfactory termination of the sessions of the tribunal. It continues: The result is satisfactory In every way. It is of great material advantage to our people In the far Northwest. It has removed from the field of discussion and possible danger a question liable to become more acutely accentuated with each passing year. Finally, it has furr.ishied u signal proof of the fairness and good will with which two friendly nations can approach* and determine issues involving national sovereignty and by their nature Incapable of submission to a third power for adjudication. Claims Against Venezuela. Referring to the success which crowned the efforts of the United States to have the Venezuelan dispute submitted to impartial arbitrators the President says: There seems good ground for the belief that there has been a real growth among the civilized nations of a sentiment which will permit a gradual substitution of other methods than the method of war ia the settlement of disputes. It is not pretended that as yet we are near a position m which it will be possible wholly to prevent war. or that a just regard for national Interest and honor will In all caBes permit ot the settlement of, UtfexnaUonaV disputes by arbitration; but by a mixture of prudence and firmness with wisdom we think It Is possible to do away with much of the provocation and excuse for war, and at least in many cases to substitute some other and more rational method for the settlement of disputes. The Hague court offers so good an example of what can be done in the direction of such.settlement that it should be encouraged in every way. President McKinley, in h i s message of Dec. 5, 1808, urged that the Executive be authorized to correspond with the governments of the principal maritime powers with a view of incorporating into the permanent law of civilized nations the principle of the exemption of all private property at sea, not contraband of war, from capture or destruction by belligerent powers. President Roosevelt says he cordially renews this recommendation, as a matter of humanity and morals. Consular Service. I call your attention to the reduced cost in maintaining the consular service for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1903. as shown in thft annual report of the Auditor f«>r the State and other departments, •>s compared with the year previous. Fcr the year under consideration the excess of expenditures over receipts on account of the consular service amounted to $36,- 125.12, as asalnst 196.972.50 for the year ending June 30. 1902, and $147,040.16 tor the year ending Jure 80, 19M. This is the best showing in this resrect for the consular service for the past fourteen years, and the reduction in the cost of the seiv. ice to the Government has keen made in spite of the fact that the expenditures for tho year In question were rrore than £0.000 greater than for the previous year. Rural Free-Delivery Service. The rural free-delivery service has b»en steadily extended. The attention of the Congress is asked to the question of the compensation of' the letter carriers and clerks engaged In the postal service, especially on the new rural free-delivery routes. More mutes have been instal ed since the first of July last than in any Ike period In the department's history. While a due regard to economy must be kept In mind in the estab ishment of new routes, yet the extension of the rural "ffee-dcllvery 'system must be continued, for reasons of sound .pubiic policy. No governmental movement of recent year* has resulted In greater immediate rem.«flt to the people of the country dtstriata Rural free delivery, taken in connection with the telephone, the bicycle, and the iroi:ey. accomplishes much toward* lessening the Isolation of farm life nn.^mak- 'ng it brighter anJ «iur»» attractive.

On the subject of the public laads of the country the message says: The cash receipts of'the General Land Office for the last fiscal year were, fll.- 024.743.65. an increase of $4.762.816.47 over the preceding year. Of this sum. approximately, t8,4«1453 will go to the credit of the fund for the reclamation, ot arid land, making the total of this fund, up to the 30th of June, 1S08, approximately, J16.1S1.S34. A gratifying- disposition has been evinced by those having unlawful lnelosures of public land to remove their fences. Nearly iwo million acres so inclosed have been thrown open on oemand In bat comparatively few cases has it been, necessary to go into eourt to accomplish this purpose. This work will be vigorously prosecuted until all unlawful inolosures have been removed. Irrigation. Tb*» work of reclamation of tho arid /lands of the West is progressing steadily and satisfactorily under the terms oC the law setting aside the proceeds from the disposal ot public lands. Tho corps of engineers known as the Reclamation Service, which is conducting the surveys and examinations, has been thoroughly organized, especial pains being taken to secure under the civil-service rules a body of skilled, experienced, and efficient men. Surveys and examinations are progressing throughout the arid states and territories, plans for reclaiming works being prepared and passed upon by boards of engineers before approval by the Secretary of the Interior, in Arizona and Nevada, in localities where such Work is pre-eminently needed, construction has already been begun. In other parts or the arid West various projects are well advanced toward the drawing up of contracts, these being delayed In part by necessities of reaching agreements or understanding as regards rights of way or acquisition of. real estate. Most of the works contemplated for construction are of national importance, involving Interstate questions or the securing of stable, self-supporting communities in the midBt of vast tracts of vacant land. The Nation as a whole is of course the gainer by the creation of these homes, adding as they do to the wealth and stability cf the country, and furnishing a home market for the products of the East anu South. The reclamation law, while perhaps not ideal, appears at present to answer the larger needs for wh'.ch it ia designed.. Further legislation Is not recommended until the necessities of change are more apparent. Preservation of Forests. The President points out the necassity of taking steps for the preservation of our forests, especially at the headwaters of streams. Of the cottonweevil he says: The cotton-growing States have recently been invaded by a weevil that has done much darrage and threatens the entire cotton industry. I suggest to the Congress the prompt enactment of such remedial legislation as its judgment ma - approve. isthmian Canal. The causes leadicg up to the establishment of the new republic of Panama, and its recogrltlon by the United States are given in much detail, as follows: By the act of June 2S, 1902, the Congress authorized the President to enter into treaty with Colombia for tho building of the canal across the Jsthmus of Panama; it being provided that in thf event of failure to secure such treaty after the lapse of a reasonable time, recourse should be had to building a canal through Nicaragua. It has not been necessary to consider this alternative, as I am cnab'ed to lay before tho Senate a treaty providing for the building of th? canal across the Isthmus of Panama. This was the route which commended itself to the deliberate Judgment of the ^.ngress, and we can now acquire by treaty the right to construct the canal over this route. The question now, therefore, is not by which route the isthmian canal shall be built, for that question haa been definitely and irrevocably decided. The question is simply whether or not we shall have an isthmian cnnal. In tho year 1S4« this Covx.-nmcnt entered into a treaty with .xew Granada. ihe predecessor upon the Isthmus of the Republic of Colombia and ot the present Republic of Panama, by which treaty it was provided that the Government and citisens of the United States should always have free and open right of way, or transit across the Isthmus of Panama by any modes of communication that might be constructed, while in return our Government guaranteed the perfect neutrality of the above-mentioned isthmus with the view that the free transit from the one to the other sea might not be interrupted or embarrassed. The treaty vested in the United States * substantial property right carved out of the rtghts of sovereignty and property which New Granada then had and possessed over the said territory.. The namo of New Granada has passed away and Its territory has been divided. Its successor, the Government of Colombia, has ceased to own any property in the lstnmu« A new republic, that of Panama, which was at one time a sovereign state, and at another time a mere department of .the successive confederations known as New tiranada and Colombia, has now succeeded to the rights which first one and then the other formerly exercised over the Isthmus. Bnt as long as the Isthmus endures, the mere gecg.aphlcal fact of Us existence, and the peculiar interest therein which Is requl.ed by our position, oorpetuate the solemn contract which binds tho holders of the territory to respect our right to freedom of transit across it, and binds us In return to safeguard for tho isthmus and the world the exorcise of- that inestimable privilege. The true Interpretation of the obliga ions upon which the United States entered In this treaty of 184J has been given epeatedly in the utie.ances of Presllenta and Secretaries ot Stale. Secretary Cass ip 1*5* ofiTciclly stated the posrtlon of this Government as follow*: "The progress of events has renders*? ths interccfanic rants. actoss tha aaaxoor portion of CentraT America vastly lmpotw tant to the commercial world, and especially to tb* United Stales, whoso pos> sessions extend; alpng_the Atlantic jta* Pacific coasts,, and demand the speediest and easiest modes .of coramunlca troa.

In 1865. Mr. Seward in different communications took the following position: MThe United States have taken and will take no interest in any question ef internal revolution in the State of Panama, or any State of the United States Of Colombia, bat will maintain a perfect neutrality in connection with such domestic altercations. The United States .will, nevertheless, hold themselves ready to protect the transit trade across- the isthmus against invasion of either domestic or foreign disturbers of the peacer of the State of Panama. * * • Neither the text nor the spirit of tho stipulation in that article by which the United State* engages to preserve the neutrality of Us* Isthmus of Panama, imposes an sSjtsjpe* tlon on this Government to r inajfj aj||*S the requisition (of the Presides* Of thO United States of Colombia iter a forest %» protect the Isthmus cf passu** frees * body of insurgents of that oouatryj. The purpose of the sttnuiatloa was to guarantee the isthmsw against seizure or 'invasion by a foreign posrer or:ly." Last spring, under the act above referred to. a treaty concluded between the representatives of the Republic of Colombia and of our Government was ratified by the Senate. This treaty was entered into at the urgent solicitation of the people of Colombia and after a body of exoerts appointed by our Government especially to go Into the matter of ths routes across the isthmus had pronounced unanimously in favor of the Panama route. In drawing up this treaty every concession was made to the peoilo and to the Government of Colombia. We were more than ju3t in denling witu J hem. Our generosity was such as to make it a serious question whether we r-ad not gone too far in their .interest at tho expense of our own; for in our scrupulous ucsire to pay all possible heed, not merely to the real but even to the fancied rights of our weaker neighbor, who alrrady owed so much to our protection and forbearance, we yielded In all possible ways to her desires in drawing up the treaty. Nevertheless the Government of Colombia not merely repudiated tha treaty, tut repudiated It In such manner as to make K evident by the time the Colombian Consress adjourned that not the scantiest hope remained of ever getting a satisfactory tTFaty from thfm. The Government of Colombia made the treaty, and yet when the Colombian Congress was called to ratify it the vote against ratification was unanimous. It does not appear that the Government made any real effort to secure ratification. Revolution in Panama. Immediately after the adjournment of the Congress a revolution broke out In Panama. The people of Panama had long been dir»nor,tmted with the Repubilo of Colombia, and they had been kept quiet only by the prospect of the conclusion Of the treaty, which was to them a matter of vital concern.-When It became evident that the treaty was hopelessly lost, the people of Pamirua rose literally as one man. Not a shot was fired by a single man on the isthmus in the Interest of the Colombian Government. Not a life was lost in the accomplishment of the revolution. The Colombian troops stationed on the Isthmus, who had long been unpaid, made common cause with the people nf Panama, nnd with astonishing unanimity the new republic was started. The duty of tiie Cnited States in the premises was clear, in strict accordance with the principles laid Jown by Secretaries Cas* and Seward In the official documents above quoted, the United States gr>ve notice that it would permit the landing of no expeditionary force, the arrival of which wou.d mean chaos p.nd destruction along the line of the railroad and of the proposed canal, and an interruption of transit as an inevitable consequence. The do facto Government of Panama was recognized in the following teiegram to Mr. Ehrraan: "The people of Panama lave, by apparently unanimous movement, dissolved their political connection with tho Republic of Colombia and resumed th?lr Independence. When you are satisfied that a de faeto government, republican la form and without substantial opposition from Its own people, has been estaMtsked. in the State of Panama, you will enter Into relations with it as the respooeshsO government of the tesritory and HsstrtO It for all due action to protect tho parsons and property of citizens of the United States and to keep open the isthmian transit, in accordance wtth the obligations of existing treaties governing the relations of the United States to that territory." Treaty With Republic of Panamau Every effort has been made by the Government of the United States to penmade Colombia to follow a course which was essentially not only to our interests and to the interests of the wo: Id. but to the interests of Colombia itself. These efforts have failed; and ColomMa, by her persistence tn repulsing the advances that have r«en made, has forced us. for toe sake of our own honor, and of the Interest and well-being, not merely of our own people, but of the people of i«e Isthmus of Panama and the people of the civilised countiies of the world, to take decisive steps to bring to an end a condition ef affairs which had become intolerable. The new Republic of Panama Immediately offered to negotiate a treaty with us. This treaty I herewith submit By It our interests are better safeguarded thaa la the treaty with Colombia which was ratified by the Senate at its last session. It Is better in Its terms than tho treaties of* fered to us by the Republics of Nlcararaia and Costa Rica. At last the right to bepin thin great undertaking ia made available. Panama nas done her part. All that remains is for the American Congress to do its part and forthwith this RerubUe will enter upon the execstlo* of a project colossal in its else sad ef well-nit incalculable roaslrtUtles for the socd of this country and the nstteas ef mack hi d.

ALL AROUND GRANGE FAIR, An Idea Taat May Be Snsrsreattva f Other Patrons. Last month the Templeton (Mass.) grange held a successful cattle show and fair. Tbe hall exhibition was a very creditable one and consisted of vegetables, fancy and useful articles and farm products. There was a fair exhibit of cattle, sheep, dogs and swine, also poultry. The music for the day was furnished by a brass band of twenty pieces. There was a coaching parade In the forenoon, with a number of decorated wagons In the procession. There were plowing matches, horse driving contests, foot races and baseball games. In tbe evening there were a concert and dance In the town hall. The Idea is a good one. Grangers cannot only add to the interest of county fairs by their exhibits and patronage, but they can get up a fair of their own. as Templeton grange has done, with much credit to themselves mad the Order. S*l»ia lleetinn-s In Pennarlrmnia. Tbe series of field meetings held In twenty-six counties of Pennsylvania during the month of August was largely attended and elicited active Interest and cordial approval by Patrons generally. Social committees are entitled to honorable mention for the efficient work they invariably did la making these meetings a gr*at success. Brother A, B. Morae of South Paris, Me^ who attended each meeting, won many friends not only by his superior art as an Impersonator, elocutionist and entertainer, but by his devotion to the Order and high typo of manhood. Grange teachings were promulgated from the platform by stnte grange speakers and listened to attentively. Evidently active Interest in the work of the grange firs been stimulated'and much done to .TopuliiHae ilie Order over the state to the many summer meetings held during 10015.-A. M. Cornell.

Pomona JJrange lietd a monster clambake and picnic in August, at which fully 2.000 patrons were present. The grange had headquarters on the Trenton fair grounds Sept. 28 to Oct 2.

MI teU you what, Stanley/' said the Admiral, "I don't care what they did to me, for it's done me no harm. ftvt after this you should be able to •take them enforce the laws. If they would only do that the Pacific coast vJpeJln'v' stink so in the- nostrils of shipmasters and shipowners." . The consul explained, the local system of politics. It appeared that every one with any business on the borders of crime insured against the results of accidents by being in politics. "And If the thieving politicians appoint the man to control them, what's the result?" "The result is—Shanghai Smith," said the .admiral. "Well, I'll see you later. I've an appointment with Mr. Saut, of the Harvester." ...The consul stared. . '"What, with Sant? Why, he got eighteen months' hard labor for killing a man six months ago." "But he's not in prison?" "Of course not," said the consul. "He was pardoned by the governor." "fre's just the man I wish to see," cried Dicky Dunn. He found Sant waiting at Cartwright's office. He was a hard-bitted, weather-beaten gentleman, and half his face was jaw. That jaw had hold of a long cigar with his back teeth. He continued smoking and chewing, and did both savagely. What Peter had said to him did not come out, but by agreement the admiral was introduced as Mr. Dunn. ''You have reason not to like Shanghai Smith?" said Peter. That's so," nodded Sant "Mr. Dunn does not like him either. Could you make any use of him on board the Harvester?" "I could," said Sant, grinning; "he'd be a useful man." *If you Imagined you missed a man to-morrow morning just as you were getting up your anchor, and some one hailed you and said they had picked one up, you would take him aboard?" "Wet or dry," said Sant. "I'll undertake he shall be wet," said the admiral. "Eh?" And he turned to Selwyn. "Yes, sir," replied the lieutenant, "that could be arranged." "Very well, Mr. Sant," said the admiral "And it's understood, ot course," said Peter, "that you gentlemen never •aw each other and don't know each ether when you meet, it being a matter of mutual obligation." "I agree," said Sant "AU* of course," Cartwright added a s he escorted the admiral and Selwyn into the passage, "if there should «ie a shindy at Smith's and any of >bur men are in it, we shall all explain that it was owing to your hav- •lag been put away. And two wrongs •then will make it right. I guess the (newspapers will call it square." ".Exactly so," said the admiral. -And when he reached the Triumphant he had very nearly worked out the plan by which the row at Shanghai Smith's was to occur. . TIL just go over it with you, Seltryn," he said, when he reached his •cabin again. "Now you must remem- "i rely on your discretion." ber I rely on your discretion. A wrong step may land us in trouble with the authorities and the admiralty;" ' "Well, what do you propose, Sir Richard?" asked Selwyn. "This 1B rightly your show and mme," said the admiral. "I won't have any one else in it that I can fcetp. I ought to speak to Hamilton, bu^t I' won't. I'll keep him out of the trouble"—for Hamilton was the captain ^of thev Triumphant "I suppose th% taen here are really fond of me.?* satd the admiral interrogatively. v» said Selwyn. "Is there any one of them you could drop a hint to, that you could trust?" "Of course/* said Selwyn; "there* Benson, whose father works for mine as gardener." : • "Do you mean Benson, my ooxs'n?" "Yes, sir." "He's the very man. You might let him know that if he should get into any trouble, he will be paid for it. I leave the rest to you. You can go ashore now, with this note to Stanley. That will give you a chance to take Benson with you and speak to him on the quiet I don't know that I care particularly to hear any more about it till the day after to-morrow, unless I have to. Ultimately all the responsibility is mine, of course." And by that Selwyn understood rightly enough that Dicky Dunn, for all his cunning, had no intention of shirking trouble if trouble came. He went ashore and took Benson up town with him. "Do you men think it was Shanghai Smith that laid for us, and put the admiral atfay, Benson?" he asked as they went up Market street. "There ain't the shadder of a doubt 'e done it, sir," said Benson. "And they don't like it?" "Lord bless you, sir. It's very 'ard 'avin' all liberty stopped, but between you and me it was wise to stop it. They would 'ave rooted 'is 'ouse up and shied the wreckage into the bay." "It's a pity that you and about twenty more couldn't do it," said Selwyn. "And if one could only catch hold of the man himself and put him on board an outward-bound ship, it would do him good." Benson slapped his leg. "Oh, sir, there ain't a man on board the Triumphant that wouldn't do six months with pleasure to 'ave the 'andlin' of 'Ira." "No?" "For sure, sir." "I was lying awake last night thinking of it," said Selwyn; "at least, I believe I was awake—perhaps I was dreaming. But I seemed to think that a couple of boats' crews Were ashore, and that you went to Shanghai's place for a drink." "I've done that same, sir," said Benson, "and the liquor was cruel bad." "And t .dreamed—yes, I suppose it was a <fteam—that you started a row and made hay of his bar and collared him, and took him in the cutter and rowed him about the bay till about four in the morning." "You always was very imaginary and dreamy as a boy, sir, begging your pardon, sir," said Benson. "And I dreamed you came to the Harvester " "Her that's lying in the bay—the ship with the bad name among sailormen?" ' "That's the ship," said Selwyn; "and you hailed her and asked the captain if a man had tried to escape by swimming. And he said 'Yes,' and then you said you'd picked him up." Benson looked at him quickly. "But he wouldn't be wet, sir." "Oh, yes, he would, Benson. You could easily duck him overboard." Benson stared very hard at the lieutenant "Of course. I could very easy duck him—and love to do it, too. And did the captain of the Harvester own to him, sir?" *" Selwyn nodded. "He would, Benson—I mean he did, of course." "I suppose," asked Benson, with his eyes on the pavement, "that it had been arranged so?" "In the dream, yes," said the lieutenant. "Was it for to-morrow evening, sir?" "I thought so," said Serwyn. "And the curious thing about it was that the whole thing was done as quietly as possible. All you men went io work in silence without as much as a hurrah. And one of the boats brought me ashore and the other brought the admiral. And it was only after you had put the man on board the Harvester that you came back for the admiral at five o'clock in the morning, Benson." "And what about the boat as brought you, sir?" "I came back at twelve and went on board with them, after the fight, and while you were rowing Mr. Smith about the bay, cheering.him up." "Wa3 there anything else, sir?'!- "Nothing," said Selwyn, "only that I forget whether it came out. If it did. the men said it wee a game all of their own. And I thlnk-r-nq, I'm sure —that if any one got into trouble it paid him well, after all." " "Of dpurse It w^>ul<£ sir," said Benson warmly! "I wish 'it could Veally come off. You never know your luck", "And I think Mr. Smith doesn't," said Selwyn. "And when Benson went on yboard again %nd" ha<r** lent Confabulation with two boats' crews, there was a unanimous opinion among them that *Jr. Smith had piled his ship up with * vengeance when he ran against a British admiral. A'There ain'$. Oto be no , weeponjC •eald.'Beneeh^tubthln' worse'nor*iporo cuttln'' than a staysail 'ank as a \ knuckle-dujteri and even that I don't recommend. An odd stretcher or two aid the battles there will'do the ioo. And the word is siiemce, now and then." • * « ..'••'. ' . "Mum's the word," said the men. And like the children that they were, they wrought the whole ship'* company into a frenzy of excitement, by dropping hints about as heavy as a half-hundredweight on every one who. was not in the game. Had there been much longer to wait than twenty-four hours, they must have told, or burst. And If they had not burst, the others would have finally reached the truth by the process of exhaustion. * • • It was none o'clock on the following evening that the admiral went on shore to dine with the British consul. He told Benson that he might be later than eleven. And as Benson touched his cap he took the liberty of believing he might be as late as five in the Took Benson up-town with him. morning. And just about eleven Selwyn came ashore in another boat with papers which had to go to the admiral. "I shall be back in an hour, Thomas," said Selwyn. And the two coxs'us were left in command of the cutting out expedition. The whole business was nearly wrecked at the outset by the settlement of the question as to who was to be left in charge of the boats. Finally Thomas and Benson ordered two men to stay, and the defrauded men sat back and growled most horribly as the rest moved off towards Shanghai Smith's in loose order. "Look 'ere," said Billings to Graves as they were left alone, "it's hobvious one must stay with the boats; but one's enough, and on an hexpedition like this, horders ain't worth a damn. I'll howe you a quid, a whole quid, and my grog for a month if you'll be the man to stay." "No, I'll toss you, the same terms both sides." And the spin of coin sent Billings running after the rest. He was received by Benson with curses, but he stuck to the party all the same. "Very well, you report me! You know you can't," he said defiantly. "And I've give Graves a thick 'ua and my grog for a month to be let come." This awful sacrifice appealed even to Benson. "All right," he said. "But if I can't report you for this, I can the next time." "Next time be damned," cried Billings; " 'oo cares about next time, now?" And they hove in sight of Shanghai Smith's. (To be continued.) Japanese Funeral Rites. Old people in Japan prepare for death by visiting serines and interviewing Buddhist priests. When a person dies the priest selects a posthumous name (kaimes), and writes it on a slip of white paper on a tablet of unstained wood. The deceased person next lies in state for two days, when the head is shaven and the body dressed for interment in pure white, the costume being similar to that worn on festive occasions. The body is then placed in the coffin in a sitting position, the hands folded in prayer, and the vacant spaces being filled with tea leaves, incense, or vermilion. The night before the funeral is spent by the relatives in prayer, and next morning a procession is formed to the grave, everybody and everything displaying as mnch white as possible. The periods of mourning vary from fifty days of ki. or deep mourning, for a parent, during, which no business must be done, the razor abjured, and the grave visited daily, to* three days for cousins, while buku or lighter mourning is observed from ninety to seven days.

C. ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement It appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is. The fact is that Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the nearti of the people. The natural timidity whidl so many people have felt abdut jgiving , ^ dorsements to any remedy is giving way* Gratitude and a desire to help others hat inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore woul4 not have consented to such publicity. . Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been witt* ing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase oi location in the human body. That is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements.

And He Had Wasted Time Trying to Find an Owner. In a theater recently a man down in 'one of the front rows spied on the floor a large hatpin with an amber top. Looking about him, h e saw that two women and their escorts had Just •at down. To one of the former he presented the pin. A shake o\ the head indicated that he had made a mistake. Then he. tried across the aisle. The women seemed to be interested. The pin was a curiosity and its amber of a unique carving. They hesitated, but the pin was handled back. Desperately, he began the jsearch anew. Two ladies unattended "seemed likely owners. To them he showed the pin. They took it and enjpyed its pattern. Just then the man ,felt a tug on his sleeve. It was his .wife and. she remarked: "Why are jyou showing my hatpin to strangers?" He, blushing, went over to the femin i n e pair and explained, "it's my hrife*s hatpin," he said, but in such [consciously guilty accents that the women handed' it back with doubting smiles.

THE MICHIGAN NEWS Showing What's Doing In 111 Sections of the Stato There are said to be more suicides on Monday than on any other day. Monday is wash day. Lord Kitchener points with pride to the fact that it took a tunnel to put him down and o u t A London authority says that shyness is due simply to a wrong mental angle. Obtuse or acute? Another Vanderbilt girl has been born, %nd thus a rosy outlook is pro- Tided for some future duke. If the Sunday proposal isn't binding a great many men will no doubt be sorry the fact wasn't announced before. There is at last one new thing under the sun; the billposters and distribuers have discovered "real art" in billboards. J. M. Barrie, the English author and playwright, has an income of 185,000 a year. Yet they say he is inclined to be taciturn. Bohemia has declared American beer to be the best in the world. Here's another "peril" to keep Europe awake o* nights. J. C. Hummel of Hamburg, Pa., has whooping cough, at the age of 87. This is carrying the second childhood business to extremes. Oom Paul is so completely merged In oblivion that even the comparison of Colombian soldiers with Boers does not move him to reply. The State Graajr* Speak* At the concluding session of the State Grange, held In Lansing, by a unanimous Arte and practically without debate several reforms advocated by standing committees were adopted. The matter of primary elections was stated clearly and unequivocally and the vote on the resolution shows that the Grange demand it. Briefly stated, the desired reforms are: Complete ratification of last year's demand for primary election reform. The drafting of a primary bill by the State Grange. The enactment of the Torreus system of land titles. Prohibition of the sale of cigarettes. Regulation of the speed of automobiles on country roads. Election of drain commissioners at the polls. Election, of United States senators by direct vote. A reformation of the present plans regarding grange deputies. A bureau of information for members desiring to make sales or exchanges. A suitable grange headquarters at the state fair. • Good roads by virtue of national, state and township expenditures. More power to the arm of the state forestry commission. Standing committees of women In each grange to co-operate with the state committee. A grange cyclone insurance society. Optional biennial elections in subordinate granges. Public ownership of public utilities. Election of state tax. commissioners by popular vote. Appointment of a government official to guard against cruelty in the Chicago stock yards. Tlie Ptriaoa Route. in addition to the case of Mrs. Mary McKnlght, of Kalkaska, who is charged with having put her brother, his wife and babe out of the way by poison, came the sensation a t Owosso in which Mrs. Caroline Collins was suspected and aftyward charged with having polsonedSer hired man, George Leachman. Her*fxamination Is now in progress. Next come two more mysterious cases. Mrs. Katie Ludwlck, of Bronaon township, Branch county, Is suspected of having poisoned her husband, to whom she was married but three weeks ago. She denies giving him poison, or even buying it, but a Bronson druggist swears that she bought arsenic from him 10 days after the marriage. This is followed by the case of George Stewart, a farmer five miles from Big Rapids, whose death is held to be mysterious. His wife is alleged to have purchased strychnine while in Big Rapids with him on Monday. She admits buying the poison, and says she gave it to her husband at bis request to kill rats in the granary. Au investigation is in progress. Dreyfuss talks of reopening his case. The captain should understand that he struck twelve some time ago, and that no more need be said. Russia and Japan have agreed that there is enough good looting in fat old China for two, and there is no use in mussing up the scenery. When a woman can't make her husband stop smoking a pipe because it ruins the curtains the consolatjpn she has is that it is good for the rubber plant. The woman who puts her hat on before the play is finished is just about on a par with the chap who goes out between the acts to disguise his breath. I Li .

This is something that most women dodge when they can. , • * • ' We are told ^ot to worry over the small things of life, yet how can one help doing so when a flea gets to work on one in the presence of a stranger. There will be a total tplipae of tiie sun Aug. 30 next year, and the astronomers of Spain have forgivingly invited those of this country to come there and look at it. .First lessons in the school of journalism should be the writing of letters about the "expected" war between Japan and Russia. That reads like good stuff for beginners. Mrs. Lena Birse wants a divorce because, forsooth, her George can't play cards. Yet many there be that seek separation because their Georges can play. Again we ask, where do we get off? Elfflit More Arc Cnllrd. Monday eight more warrants wore issued as a result of Salsbury's testimony in the Grand Rapids water scanday for these accused ni'en:' George E. .Nichols, ex-statc senator, Ionia, for perjury. Gertie I C AifcefsTotttoncy, for por- JurV. • / ' . \ ' William V. McKnlStit, attorney, for .attempting subornation ef perjury. E. l>. Conger, editor and publisher of the Grand Rapids Herald, for conspiracy. Charles S. Bu'rch,'"general manager of the Grand Rapids Evening Press, -for conspiracy. J. Russel Thompson, former Evening Press reporter, for conspiracy. . Isaac Lamoreaux, former eity, cterk, for conspiracy. J. Clark Sproat, former manager of the'. Morning Democrat and Evening Post, for conspiracy. Several of the newly accused men in the above list appeared in police court and furnished bond for their reappearance for examiuation at a later date. The route of Paul Revere's famous ride is now obscured by a trolley road. It is evident that the great patriot was not sufficiently long-headed to warn the Colonials of all the calamities that were coming. Cleveland physicians are disappointed because they failed to restore a dead man sufficiently to make h i m live long enough to undergo an operation that might have been performed if he had not diei. The Seattle woman who loved a woman who was masquerading as a man, and attempted suicide when she could not marry her, has proven the truth of the saying that "The clothes do not make the man." A popular subscription will be started to purchase a monument for the grave of a Georgia man whose claim to fame and grat 'tude rests in the fact that h e i t r o t i 4>00 poems and never published on? of them. The legislative committee of the State Grange in session, in Lansing, made a report for consideration which contained these paragraphs, regarding primary elections: We recommend, therefore, that the grange, through its legislative committee and proper officers,-urge the nest legislature to pass a state primary election law providing foe the uouiina-* tlon of all officers, state, county and township, by direct vote of the members of their respective political parties. That nominations be made by petition, and not by fee. That the primaries of all parties be held at the same time and uuder the supervision and charge of the state, and at public expense. We*further recommend that the legislative committee prepare a bill for primary reform and present it to the next state grange to be approved by that body before going before our state legislature. Student Suicides. Russell McWUllanis, a member of the junior class, U. of M-, committed suicide Wednesday morning by shootlug himself through the heart with a 32-caliber revolver. Temporary insanity is said to have Deen the cause. McWilliams was 10 years old and a member of Sigma Alpha Epsllon fraternity. White Sutton, his roommate, heard the shot, and found McWilllaras dying in bed. The suicide was a com plete surprise and recalls the epidemic of student suicides that occurred at this time last year. McWilliams' father, mother, brother and sister live in Kansas City, and as far as can be learned it was not bad news from home that caused the suicide. For Primary' Reform. The Michigan State Association of Farmers' Clulw, in session on Wednesday in Lansing, adopted this unequivocal resolution on primary election reform: ''.•• "Resolved, t h a t we demand that the next legislature shall not only introduce, but shall properly enact, a primary election law, giving the people of this state the right to directly nominate township, county and state officers, and to punish with effective penalties the corrupt use of money at all elections." "We will put forth our utmost endeavor to make our influence In the matter of primary elections felt In the next legislature," said N. A. Clapp, of Oakland county, the newly elected president of' the State Association of -Farmers' clubs, after the reform had prevailed so decisively. Mrs* McKalght In Jaekaon. On Friday Mrs. McKnight, who was convicted of murder in Cadillac and received a life sentence, was taken to the Jackson penitentiary. It was evident from "her appearance that she nnd not rested much as she looked haggard and sad. There was a large crowd at the depot, including her sister, Mrs. Chalker, who has been her constant companion through her trouble. The general impression is that Mrs, Mc- Knlght will not live long, as she pines and starves herself. She Is the first person to be sentenced for life from Wexford circuit court, and her*s was the firat murder trial ever held in Cadillac. STATE NEWS IN BR I EST.

We hadn't thought of presents—why, the most of us never had hung A stockin* up at the chimney-side even when we were young, It was only a bit of-foolln', and a part of our ev'nin* plan Was a Santy Claus, and Dumphy was our only family man. We dug him out of his blankets and hauled him out to the light, —His eyes were red with tears he had shed, but now he wanted to fight, And screaming a string of curses, he struck as he raved and swore, Floored Joe Lacrosse and the swampln's boss, and announced he was ready for more. But no one was 'specially anxious ard we 'backed away, because Good will to men was not jest then in the eye of our Santy Claus. The boss was a-thlnkln' to swat him, but allowed he had better not, For 'twaa trouble bad that Dumphy had, whatever it was he'd got. So back in his bunk he butted—unsociable kind of a goat— While our pryln' cook was takln* a look at a letter that dropped from his coat. And screaming a string of curses, he it ruck as he raved and swore, Floored Joe Lacrosse and the swampins' hose, and announced he was ready for more. There's sometimes family man, a grief for ye, And it's wicked y'd better believe, When ye find that there's trouble piled heavy and double, On the poor little home that ye leave, There are sharks who are hungry when money la due. And a man is away in the woods with a crew; Shiverin' babies and heart-broken wife Don't hinder the Shylocks who're out with a knife. And the tear-spotted letter that cook choked and read Was writ from a poorhouse—and "baby was dead." One after the other, we forty-flve men, Kissed where the kisses were marked by her pen, Kissed on the smooches of little ones' smacks, —We lonesome old baches of peavies and patches, Bills, Jimmies and Jacks o' the Ax. Boss he fair, square blubbered—cook he blubbered, too, There wasn't a face in all the place but glistened with tears like dew. And Joe throwed galley-est'ard the duds the crew had hung, For we knowed that joke to Dumphy spoke of empty stockln's hung; —We all of us saw a pictur' of youngsters wonderin' why Old Santy Claus, like other friends, had passed that poorhouse by. We looked to Dumphy's comer, where he curled with buried head, But his grief and tears stopped eyes and ears to all we did or said. "Dang rat the. man that's secret," growled the boss, "but others can Be jest as clus' as that secret cuss, our only family man." Then boss he fetched a pen-stock and thawed the yaller ink, And he scratchity-scratched a writin' and he wunk a wettlsh wink; He whispered, "There's an order for thirty days o' my pay; If the rest of ye's men ye'll take that pen and do a stunt my way."

Drama of Loyalty» Dramatic entertainments at Wlndso? j differ from those at Sundriugham. Ah the court ceremonials are enforced, and the performance is one of state. In front of the stage, and screening the orchestra, is a superb bank of palms, ferns and flowers. At 9 or 10 o'clock the court enter the magnificent room and talce their pmces, the men in full uniform and official dress. Soon afterward the orchestra plays the national anthem, the assembly stands, the doors are thrown open, and, with the announcement, "Their Majesties," the royal party enters. The court remains standing until the King and Queen are seated in their armchairs in the front row. The curtain then promptly rises. At Windsor etiquette forbids any enthusiastic demonstration on the part of the audience; applause and laughter must be well modulated, and follow only in the wake of Ihe King. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Sandals For Princess. When King Victor Emanuel decreed that his little daughter, Princess Yolande, should wear sandals which are now so much worn by our little peole, Iris people were properly shocked. " Fancy a little princess having her bare feet protected only by an arrangement of brown leather soles and straps, and of actually going barefooted on the seashore! Even the Queen disapproved and would like to have kept her daughter's little toes covered with openwork silk socks and white kid shoes, like those of other little folks of exalted rank. Princess Yolande's opinion on the subject is not recorded, but doubtless she approved of her father's choice pf footgear for her. ff; SENTENCE SERMONS. *. • J» You cannot win souls in your sleep. Back-Beaters soon become backsliders, *' ^ .,. He who entertains envy iBTitef]•enmity. The Bible is a time card and not a ticket. Our habits here determine our ha,bit there. Wishes and not words are the true prayers. Silent sermons are often the most successful. Temptation is the devil's form ot Injunction. That which is affected can never be "effective. The fever of fanaticism is not the fever of faith. A negligent love can easily become a diligent hate. What you pray for you ought to be willing to pay for. One saint on a street car is worth a dozen in a chariot. A friend i s a man with whom you can go camping twice. God does not cease to be because he stands behind the scenes. You cannot drive a tenpenny presept with a tackhammer practice. The world needs a religion that la a passion rather than a pastime. He cannot be fitted spiritually who is too lazy to fit himself mentally. Licking a boy to make him go to Sunday school is a first class way of leading him to the devil.—Chicago Tribune. •,.•;;.»: i .

A man who carries his money and his watch la his left hand will never lose a penny nor a timepiece in a holdup. The precaution, which is a perfect one. is so simple that few people have thought of it. Yet it has the sanction of the police, and its efficacy has been proved In more than one ln- Itance. As soon as the citizen is confronted by the holdup man he will, If he has his money and his watch in his hand, throw them on the nearest lawn or Into, the ditch. No highway robber has time enough to stop to look for either. There is no sense in carrying valuables In the right hand, because the first move of every accomplished holdup man is to grab his victim by the right arm. This movement Is made to prevent the victim from reaching for a revolver. The man who tries to draw a re volver while a holdup mnn is In front of him takes his life In his hands. If a citizen carries a revolver at all he should carry it in his right hand while In a dangerous street. His money and his watch should always be in his left Then after he has thrown them away ind the robber has departed discomfited the victim can take his time about finding his property. This simple plan discounts all the revolvers, sword canes, slungshots and brass knuckles ever Invented and has the added beauty that It oaa be employed by a woman as well as by a man. To throw the parse or the watch away takes but a fraction of a second, and that isn't long—Chicago Tribute. Tonight At opera boose. Lecture by D ntdn Growl Under Auspices of lecture course.

It was the first time a bluejacket feajl been near the place since a day ©r two'before the admiral's disappearance. And at first when Shanghai saw them come In he regretted that Billy, .;%{$; oeat flshUng-man, was by now well 4>2i{ his way to Portland. But for at least ten minutes the Triumphants befaaved very well* Benson had a good tiead and had arranged matters very neatly. ''You look "ere," he had said; "the thing to look out for is the barman* He keeps a gun, as they calls it 'ere. on a shelf under the bar. Smith, 'e'll *ave one in his pocket. So when I «ays, 'This rum would poison a dog,' don't wait for no back answer, but lay tbe bar-keeper out quick, with a atone matchbox or anything 'andy. And the nearest to Smith does the ' game to 'tin. He'll likely not be be- •indj but if 'e is, bottle 'im, too. and not a w^rd of jaw about it first or last." They stood up to the bar, and Benson ordered drinks for himself and three particular pals of his. "Ain't this Mr. Smith's?" Lc asked. "I'm Smith," said Shanghai. '"Ere's to you. I've often heard of you," said Benson. And three or four merchant seamen sitting about the room sniggered and passed a few sneering remarks among themselves about "Liberty Jack." Smith, who had taken enough that eight to make him rash, referred to the admiral. MSo your admiral has come back, lias he?" "He has," said the Triumphants. *<And Dicky Dunn is lookin' for the man that played that dirty game on blm." And Smith shrugged his shoulders as he half turned away. '"Tain't half so dirty as this rum," «aid Benson; "it would poison a dog." * And as the words left his mouth the fxall opened with a sudden and tremendous crash. Two heavy matchboxes W.ent lor Tom behind the bar; one laid him out as quietly as if he had been hocussed; the other smashed a tJottle which held a liquor known on the Barbary Coast as brandy, and starred the mirror behind the shelves. Tfeomas at the same moment stooped and caught Shanghai Smith by the ahkles and pitched him on his head. He never had time to reach for his "gun." The merchant seamen jumped t o theif feet and made for the door. "Stop them!" said Benson, and half a dozen bluejackets hustled them back again. "No you don't, Johnnies; you can stay and 'ave free drinks, and look after the man behind the bar. Drag out that Smith and get 'im in the open ain" And Thomas dragged Smith, into t h e darkness by his collar. "There's to be no drinkin\ for us," said Benson. "Smash what you like, and taste nothin'." And in less than a tnihute Sanghai's place was a lament- Able and ghastly spectacle. "Sarves him right," said one of the merchant seamen, as he salved a bottle of poison. "Oh, ain't he a sailorrobbing swine?" "Fetch him in and let him look at it," said Benson, with a winK. . Thomas had been primed. \ "He's come to and run like billyo h ! " he cried. But Smith was incapable of run- Caught Shanghai Smith by the ankles. cmg. He was being carried by two t>fuejackets. ; <4 After 'im, after 'im," said Benson; and In another moment the whole house was clear. ^V>ea Tom came to, he found the jplace a wreck, and four boarders too par gone in free liquor to offer any use- £i} explanation of what had occurred inee the rum had been pronounced t to poison a do^. i "All I know is," said the soberest, , |#<that he fit and we fit and fit and fit, and then 'e run." And when Tom sought for the police It was very odd that th*re was not one to be found in the quarter of San \ Francisco which most needs clubbing to keep It in order. There was not even one to bear witness that a crowd \ of bluejackets and an Amerioan citizen had come along the water front at midnight. But five minutes after midnight a British lieutenant could have taken his oath that both crews were in their boats and at least moderately sober. "I've seen the admiral, Benson," said Selwyn, as he stepped into his boat and sat down, "and h» may be later than he said." "Very well, sir," replied Benson. And as soon as Selwyn had disappeared into the darkness, the boat with Mr. Shanghai Smith in followed suit. And the Bay of San Francisco is not so well policed that they had any one inquiring what they were doing as they pulled across to saucelito, and laid up quietly till three o'clock. "He ain't dead, we hopes," said the crew of the boat. "Not 'e," said Benson; "'is 'eart beats all to rights, and 'is head is perpectly sound, bar a lump the size of a 'en's egg. That up-endin' dodge of Thomas' is very fatal in a row—oh, it's very fatal." It was nearly two o'clock before Shanghai made any motion. But when he did begin to get conscious, he found his mind and his tongue with surprising rapidity. "That 'ead of yourn must be made of five-eighths boiler-plate, Mr. Smith," said Benson, as Smith sat us suddenly. "What am I doin' here?" asked Smith. "'Ow do we know?" asked the delighted crew. "You would come. It warn't no good excusin' of ourselves." Smith put his hand to his head. "Who hit me?" he demanded, savagely. "No one," said the crew unanimously; "you tried to stand on your 'ead." "Put me ashore," said Smith. "What are you goin' to do?" "We're waitin' to see the 'Arvester yonder 'eave 'er anchor up," replied Benson. "We're in the sailor-supplyin' line, we are, same as you was." "He don't like to hear that," said Billings; "we're cutting him out of a job. And this time we ain't supplyin' admirals." "No, we ain't. Yah, you man-buyin', sailor-robbin' swine! And 'twas you dared touch our admiral. Oh, you dog, you!" They all took a turn at him, and Smith saw he was in the tightest corner he had ever occupied. This was satisfactorily expressed for him. "Say, Shanghai, did you ever heal of Barney's bull?" And when Smith refused to answer they answered for him. "He was jammed in a clinch, and so are you. You're goin' to 'ave the finest time of all your life. Did you ever hear of Sant of the 'Arvester?" And Smith, for all his brutal courage, shook in his boots. "I'll give you chaps a hundred dollars to put me ashore," he cried. "I never touched Sir Richard Dunn." "Dry up," said Benson, "and don't lie. We wouldn't part with you, my jewel, not for a thousand. What made you desert from the 'Arvester, a comfortable ship like that, with sich a duck of a skipper?" "I'll give you a thousand," said Smith desperately. "At four o'clock you're goin' on the 'Arvester—and tis night on three now. Sant wouldn't miss a man like you, so smart and 'andy, for all the gold in Californy. Own up as you shanghaied the admiral?" Smith grasped at any chance of avoiding the Harvester. For Sant had a dreadful name, and both is mates were terrors. "If I own I put him away, will you take me ashore and hand me over to the police?" He was almost in a state of collapse. Benson looked at the man, and in the faint light of far-off day still below the horizon the boat's crew saw him wink. "We'll vote on it, if you owns up. What d'ye say, chaps?" "Aye, we'll vote," said the men. "Say. did you do it?" But Smith saw how the voting would go, and refused to speak. They heard six bells come across the water from many ships. And then they heard seven. There was a grey glint in the east. The sand-dunes on the verge of the Ocean Park whitened as they pulled for the Harvester. They heard the clank of her windlass brakes and the bull voice of her mato, as he encouraged his men to do their best by threatening them with three months of hell afloat. Smith offered Benson two thousand dollars. "I wouldn't part, with you except to Sant for all you ever robbed men, cf," Bald Benson—"and what this Is, on1 } yotr Jtnaws. Pull, boya; hsi: .fiitblfi'*. up and down. No, hold on a moment; he must be wet, of course." In spite of his struggles they put him over the side and soused him thoroughly, When they pulled Mm on board again, he sat cursing. "Now, boys, bend your backs." And when he came up alongside the Harvester she was just moving under the draught of her loosed topsails. "Harvester, ahoy!" cried Benson. "Hallo!" said Sant. "What is it?" "You don't happen to have lost one of your crew, tryin' to desert by swimmin, sir?" "Have you picked him up? What's his name, does he say?" "It's Smith, sir." "That's the man," said Sant. "I want him badly." But Smith cried out: "This is kidnappin', Mr. Sant. I refuse to go." "Oh, Smith," said Sant, "I'll take all the chances of it's bein' anythin' you like. Throw them a rope." And the Triumphants towed alongside. "Up you go," said Benson. "I won't," said Smith. "Won't you?" asked Benson. "We'll see about that. Hook on there, Billings." And the next moment Smith was Jammed in a running bowline. ^ m m e d in a running bowline round his waist. "Sway him up," said Benson; and the crew of the Harvester hoisted the notorious robber with about the only feelings of pleasure they were likely to know till they reached New York. And the Triumphants pushed off as they heard the mate address Mr. Smith in language which did his reputation and the reputation of the ship most ample justice. "There's talk and there's a foretopsail- yard-ahoy voice for you," said Benson. "Oh, Mr. Smith will be looked after, he will. Now, chaps, pull for it, for the admiral will be waitin', and if that 'appens, 'twill be 'Stand from under.' " (To be continued.) Town Legislators Battle. There has recently been a battle of WTaterloo in Australia. Waterloo is a prosperous suburb of Sydney, governed by a mayor and municipal council. At the last meeting of the council an alderman alleged that a disproportionate amount of . public money was being expended on the mayor's ward. The mayor retorted with the word "liar," whereupon the alderman rushed to the chair and struck the mayor. Both were soon on the floor hitting and kicking. They were eventually separated, the mayor resumed the chair and it was thought that peace had been restored. But suddenly the mayor seized an inkstand and hurled it at the head of his opponent, missing his aim, but ruining the shirt fronts of several innocent aldermen. Use Veils a3 a Shield. J. D. Rees, a lecturer on Persia. says that the veils worn by Persian ladies are more of a privilege than a punishment. Screened behind it woman may walk wherever she pleases and even her own husband dare not question her movements. Doubtless many Persian ladies make the most of their opportunities. The Persians. as a rule, do not think it right to take wine, but as nearly all their poetry is in praise of the ilowing bowl it will be inferred that they frequently do violence to their conscience. Occasionally, however, they are seized with remorse; whereupon they destroy the wine of their Armenian neighbors. Are We Smoking Too Much? The tobacco bill of the American people has grown to an (mormons size. The people of the country use more tobacco and snuff every year. While the men spend more mon.;y on tobacco, the women are doinr* a larger business with snuff than ever before. There wore 310,Go4,(!39 pounds of tobacco and IS.840.747 pounds of snuff withdrawn from warehouses for consumption during the last fiscal year, not counting 8,345,217 pounds withdrawn for export., making a total ol. the two article:-; of 337,8-10,60:1 pounds used, against :128.-164,426 pounds It. the preceding fiscal year. Mrs. Weisslitz, president of the German Womans* Club of Buffalo, N. Y., after doctoring for two years, was finally cured of her kidney trouble by the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound* Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted* kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless prompt and correct treatment la applied, the weary patient seldom survives.

PINKHAM :— For two years my life was simply a burden, I sutfered so with female troubles, and pains across my back and loins. The doctor told mo that I had kidney troubles and prescribed for me. For three months I took his medicines, but grew steadily worse. My husband then advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkbam'a Vegetable Compound, and brought home a bottle. It is the greatest blessing ever brought to our home. Within three months I was a changed woman. My pain had disappeared, my complexion became clear, my eyes bright, and my entire system in good shape."—Hits. PAULA WEISSLITZ, 170 Seneca St., Buffalo, N. Y. Proof that Kidney Trouble can be Cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. " D E A R MUS. PINKHAM:—I feel very thankful to you for the good your medicine has done me. I had doctored for years and was steadily growing worse. I had trouble with my kidneys, and two doctors told me I had Bright's disease : also had falling of the womb, and could not walk a block at a time. My back and head ached all the time, and I was so nervous I could not sleep; had hysteria and fainting spells, was tired all the time, had such a pain in my left side that I could hardly stand at times without putting my foot on something.

As soon as the value of Peruna is fully appreciated by every household, both as a preventive and cure of catarrhal affections, tens of thousands of lives will be saved, and hundreds of thousands Of chronic, lingering cases of disease prevented.

ANNA R.BROWN Mrs. J. M. Brown, p u n n e * gan Springs, Mo., writes: ) "My little daughter three years old was troubled w i t \ a very bad cough which remained after an attack of' catarrhal fever. She has taken one bottle of Peruna through which she has ob~' tained a complete cure. Sh« is now as well and happy as a little girl can be. W h e n ' our friends say how well she looks I tell them Peruna did it." in a later letter she says: "Our little ..daughter continues to have good health." Mrs. Schafer, 436 Bope Ave., St. Louis, Mo., writes: *'Jn the early part of last year I wrote to you for advice for my daughter Alice, four years of age. She has been a puny, sickly, ailing child sine? her birth. She bad convulsions and catarrhal fevers. I was always doctoring until we commenced to use 1 eruna. She grew strong at d well. Peruna is a wonderful tonic; the best medicine 1 have ever used. "Iwas in a very wretched condition when I commenced to take Peruna. 1 had catarrh all through my whole body, but thank God, your medicine set me all right. 1 would not have any other medicine. "Peruna cured my baby boy of a very bad spell of cold and fever. He is a big healthy boy fifteen months old. I have given him Peruna off and on since he was born. J think that is why he is so well. I cannot praise Peruna enough. We have not had a doctor since we began to use Peruna—mil praise to it. "—Mrs, Scbafer. Tin tier'* Cnlnmlty. Dr, George A. Sopor, a sanitary expert, engaged by the Engineering News to investigate the typhoid epidemic at Butler, Pa., and its causes. reports that the epidemic has by no means attained its culmination, about ")0 per cent of the eases not having reached the critical stage. The epidemic, which he regards as the most severe one of typhoid of recent record, he attributes to the suspension of the mechanical nitration of the city water supply, from October 20 to November 2. T h e epidemic started on November 5. In three weeks there were 1,000 cases and up to December 14. 1 ,:247 eases and 51 deaths had been reported. M u r i n e * o n t h e l a t h reus. Colon dispatches say: A company of marines from the U. S. cruiser Prairie w a s landed here today, under the command of Capt. ^medley D. Butler and entrained for Panama, whence the marines will be sent to a point on the eonst south of Panama. This step w a s »irt consequence of the receipt of information that Colombian troops had landed in that direction with the object of marching on Panam a . If this is continued it will mean the beginning of a long campaign of guerrilla w a r f a r e on the isthmus. The destination of tho marines is said to be Yavlaa. up t h e San Miguel gulf and T u l r a river. M i n t P a y More for Cement. The United States government is a very large consumer of Portland cem e n t for public works and so the information is highly Interesting t h a t at a X'ecent meeting of the National Association of Portland Cement Manufacturers, the so-called trust, held in New York last week, it was decided to close down all plants of the association for a period of six weeks between J a n u a r y 1 and April 1 next.

Mr. Albert Lietzman, 1596 Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago, 111., writes: "I am only too glad to inform you that I am feeling splendid and have never felt better in my life. Through the advice of a friend I tried Peruna, and am glad to say it cured me to perfection. I began to tell a friend about Peruna the other day and I had no sooner commenced than he told me his folks have kept Peruna in the house for the last five years. I am sure I wouldn't be without it. Mother also uses it to keep herself in good health.'' Be Sure to Have "Pe-ru-na on Hand During the Inclement Months of Fall and Winter. Croup, capillary bronchitis, and articular rheumatism are the special banes of childhood. These all alike result from catching cold. One child catches cold and scares its mother into hysterics by having croup in the dead of night. Another child catches cold, develops a stubborn cough that will not yield to ordinary remedies, The parents are filled with forbodings. Still aDother child catches cold and develops that most fatal malady of childhood, capillary bronchitis. The doctor is called, pronounces the case pneumonia, and if the child is lucky enough to live it has developed weak lungs from which it may never recover. And yet another child catches cold and articular rheumatism is the result. Ankles, knees, wrists and elbows become suddenly swollen and painful. A long disastrous ill», ness follows. The child may live and be-, come convalescent, a miserable invalid ot, valvular disease of the heart. All thes* , mishaps are the direct result of neglected} cold. Peruna is the safeguard of the family. If a child catches cold, Peruna sbOftM be used immediately. A few doses of Peruna and a child scokl isgone. The apprehension of the parents flee away. The household is free fros* fear once more. If you do not receive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna write* at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full state* ment of your case, and he will be pleaaedi to give you his valuable advice gratis.

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

These sales can be bulkily summarized a s follows: Mesa county, through t h e Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association, 600 c a r loads of summer fruits, inclusive of peaches, pears, plums and prunes, net cash value, $390,000; other summer sales of lesser fruit bearing, counting apricots, nectarines, straw* berries, raspberries, currants, etc., sixty car loads net returns, $40,000; a grape growth aggregating $100,000 and a conservatively estimated final apple shipment, of 700 cars a t $450 per ear, or $315,000 of cash apple auditing, thus giving Mesa county through t h e Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association alone a n e t fruit sale of $845,- noo, to which is to be added the shipments of t h e Whitewater Fruit Growers' Association and a long list of individual and independent orchard marketing, with a grand total of Mesa county fruit money for 1903 reaching beyond $1,000,000. Delta county fruit shipments this year include the teeming orchards of the famous North Fork valley of t h e Gunnison a n d large marketing from Delta, t h e county seat—peaches, pears, prunes, plums, apples and berries being all represented with a total net fruit return this year for the county approximating $600,000.

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

It seldom weigLs more than from thirty-five to forty pounds, although there is an' other species occasionally met with wnich reaches twice that size. Peccaries lack, too, the sharp outgrowing tusks which make the old-world boars such formidable opponents. Yet the peccary is one of the ganiest creatures Imaginable. Given a fair chance, he will make a hard fight for his life against any number of odds. Both the panther and the jaguar are very fond of peccary meat. They will follow a herd for weeks and months together on the chance of picking up a straggler now and then. But the peccaries are Buch fierce fighters that the big cats are afraid to attack them in the open or when two or more are together. The Jaguar keeps watch among t h e branches of a tree until a careless peccary strays from the drove. Then with a sudden spring the jaguar leaps out upon its prey, kills it with one blow from its powerful paw and is off before t h e rest of the drove knows what has happened. A Western Woolgrower. Newcastle, Wyo.. Dec. 21.—There it a man in this place who claims that na one need suffer with backache, as he has proven in his own case t h a t it can be completely and permanently cured. H i s n a m e is S. C. Hoist, and he is a stock raiser and woolgrower. "I was shearing sheep at t h e time the first pain came on," says Mr. Hoist. "I was so bad for two years afterwards t h a t I could hardly sit down, «jnd when once down it was almost impossible for me to get up again. "I tried all the medicine I could hear of and several doctors without help, not even for a moment. I used Dodd's Kidney Pills and they made a new man out of me. I felt as if there was new blood, in my veins. I am as stout in the back as a mule and can lift and work as hard as I please without an ache or pain in any part of my body. "It is now over a year since they cured me and I can say there is not a healthier man in Wyoming than I am, and before using Dodd's Kidney Pills there was not a more complete physical wreck in the whole country than I was."

They who court fame never win it. Greedy masters make greedy men. Sacrifice is the measure of service. God never demands the impossible. No home is built with h a n d s alone. Faith does not exclude forethought. Easy virtue is the nurse of hard vice. A woman's veto usually contains the unwritten clause "But don't desist from admiring me." A woman ought never know she has a soul, ar wording to men who I study the sex. She ought only to feel ! she has one. I Many a m a n from whom Hindu occultism would have no terrors finds the humblest of little hello girls an unfathomable mystery. A woman's blush is the profoundest of tributes to a man—even if it is on* of anger. It always admits of the interpretation, "I am at this moment not indifferent to you." Women as a race have become so accustomed to having men regard them with habitual wonder t h a t they consider any trait of theirs taken by men for granted as a subtle insult. All the advice in the world won't help a fellow if he isn't the right kind.

Individuals are virtuous when they sacrifice their personal interest in t h e interest of all.—Mme. de Stael.

It is the grossness of t h e spectator t h a t discovers anything like grossness in the object.—Hazlitt. Simplicity of manner is the last attainment. Men are very long afraid of being natural, from the dread of being taken for ordinary.—Jeffrey. The practice of virtue costs many endeavors and1 privations, but one will find its prize in t h e serenity of his soul and in universal esteem.—Latena. It is better by a noble boldness to run the risk of being subject to half of the evils which we anticipate than to remain in cowardly listlessness for fear of what may happen. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love; pleasure bestowed upon a grateful mind was never sterile, but generally gratitude begets reward.

But when we broke hoff to hargue, why, we was talkln, about them French jossers and Whether Sal Its-bury was a-goin' to iet J*BK»hip into our game and straddle the Nile." "That's io," said'tbe crowd, and the those who follow the sea, that a partial or entire clearance of her "crowd" will quite alter her nature; whereas sailors being sailors—that is, people of. certain fairly definite attributes— any given environment makes them ismch the same as those who preceded teem. > But-entire changes in the personnel of a vessel rarely take place. The #Ooera change, hot the crew remains; the crew goes, but officers stay. Or more frequently some few men are favorites of one or two of the officers, and they mingle with the new crew |lk»-yeast, till the ancient fermentation is visible once more. > Ships (to speak thus of their companies) talk of the same subjects over a million miles of changing seas; they have a permanent stock of subjects. Those include all which are perennially of interest to seafaring men* such as hemes versus boarding houses, but' they include also something more individual, something more intimately connected with the essence of that particular vessel. And the one unending topic of interest on board the Potluck was foreign politics. . How this came about no one knew, though many theories were set afloat and sunk again every Sunday afternoon. Some said that the first captain of the Potluck was called Palmeratone, and that he introduced the subject of England versus the world as soon as he came on board. Others •wore that they had been told by a -eierlrim the employ of the firm that there had been a discussion over her Very keel concerning the introduction Into her frame of foreign oaks. "This waa the way of it," said Jack Meanwhile the skipper, or "old man," (who hencefWward, by the way, was called the "Gnfnh"), and his two mates were discussing the latest, as* pect of world politics, as they drank whisky and water. . "What's wrong with Salisbury," said, the Guffin, who was as stoat as a barrel and as sturdy, "is, that he ain't got a backbone. He just lets 'em blow him about like so much paper. What he wants is stiffening he's like a sprung spar. That's what he's like." The mate, a tough-looking dog with hair like anaemic tussac grass in patches on his face, shook his head. "I've got a greater opinion of him, captain, than you have. All his double shuffle is cunning. It's getting back so's to lead them French on. Mark me, he'll play them yet a fair knockout." The Guffin sneered. "He may have cunnin', Lampert, but he ain't no real tact. Now, diplomatic tact, I take it, is not givin' way into the gutter, but just showin' as you're a nice pleasant-spoken chap as don't mean to be put on. It's my good opinion as these foreigners don't yearn to fight us. And men like you and me, Lampert, gets to learn the way of handlin' foreigners. Who has so much experience with 'em as them in command of English ships?" "That's so," said the second mate, who had been listening. "Now last v'y'ge in the Battleaxe, there was a Dago in my watch as come from the betwixt and between land where Spain jines France. And he was the Dagoest Dago I ever sailed with. But I knew the breed, and the first time he opens his garlicky mouth I hauled except dux ©ae Dutchman, and Dutchmen and Calaahees, I'd 'ave showed you and Salisbury 'ow to 'an^le mixed sweets., Viriance; dlff'dftties, bright look-out, and the rule^'o' the road. And look at thechaj$! That's me!" .' And ver^ shortly afterwards the triple con versa tton^ ceased, for the jjfaptain l*y snoring in his cabin. fc The Potluck^was a barque qf, eleven jpindred ions' register, and was bound fer Adelaide, with a general cargo of *&„»**»&, %MM& S*4er.Jieaven and on earth. Now she was engajed in running Vtowa her easting, and, as her skipper believed, was somewhere about Lat- 44 degrees SO minutes S., Long. 50 degrees £., and not far off the Crozets. The westerly winds were blowing1 hard, but had the worst chill of winter off, for the month was September. Nevertheless, as old Jones, the skipper, was on a composite track, with a maximum latitude of 45 degrees S., and was bound farther south still it might have been to the advantage of all concerned' if he had drunk less, talked little, and minded his own business instead of arguing foreign politics. But to each man Fate o.ten gives his chance of proving what he boasts to be his particular skill in the universe.

"Of course you are." "Well, I'll let twenty dollars that when he comes up and you ask him how he is he will reply as I said." There were seven villagers present, and'all they could raise was $16. They handed that out fast enough, however, and it had been covered when Uncle Jerry came along. They were on the grin when the drummer called out: "Hello, Uncle Jerry!" "Yass, yass." "Pretty well, praise God," replied Uncle Jerry, as he passed along. It was two minutes before the villagers could get their breath, and tBen the drummer had gone with the stakes.

Hart* who waa the chief upholder of off and hit him. And then I took my this particular theory, and the son of a little shipbuilder—"the lot that built Iter at Liverpool was the mixed est «jrowd of forsaken cranks as ever handled timber. So the clerk said. And one had a hankerin' for teak and another for hoak (with odd leanin's now and agin for Hafrican and Portugee and French hoak), and another he •aid 'Cuban Sablcu,' and another's -word was 'Hackmatack' and 'chestnut' toevory time. So they .shoved in bits here! and bits there till she was a reglar Junk shop o' samples. And that's the reason she's a foreign talking argument ship. And a mighty good reason, too." The crowd listened in silence. "If you knew as much about arguin' as you know (seemin'ly) about timbers as no man ever heerd of, your argument might stand," said Mackenzie, a withered old foc'sle man. "But lit ain't to reason as the natur' of the •woods in a ship should make us talk this "Way or that. If so be a ship was built o' teak, d'ye think we'd talk the *j!ldy Jow,' you black son of a gun lingo?" , • !Hart shook his head. ""No ship ain't never built all of teak as I ever heerd of, and so your eye's out, Mac. But a man with 'arf an eye could see the knowledge of her bein' so built might lead right hup to talk about the stren'ths of the counu\ hauled off and hit him." tries as well of the vally of taeir timbers." "So they might," said the almost cerivinced crowd. "Now Jack Hart *as the gift, so to speak, of seein' through things." ,,"And once started, who'd sCop it?" rasked Jack triumphantly. "I knowed *• ship as 'ad fresh crowd after fresh crowd in her, but «he for ever 'ad a black cat aboard And they talked *oaV to make you si'ck. And I knowed another as, 'ad from Jaunch to her hultimate pllin* up in the Bermudas the knife-away and snapped the point off And I says to him, 'Now, you black beggar, every time at muster you'll show me that knife, and there'll be peace in the land.' And he done so, and there was peace." The captain (of "Guffin") smote his thigh. "You're right, Simcox, you're right, and if Salisbury was to take a leaf out of your logbook in respects of handlin' Dagoes, 'twould be better for all concerned. But no, not him. He goes on seein' them French make a fleet and he lets 'em! He actually sees 'era with their fleet sharpenin' on the grindstone and never says from the poop, 'Chuck that overboard, you swine, or I'll come and 'andjte you ao's you'll be glad to die.'"_._^ The second mate was much gratified as was obvious by his standing first on one foot sand then on another. But Lampert was not so pleased, "Why, you talk—you, captain, and you, Simcox—as if they had a fleet. Why, it's my opinion—and experts say 'ditttf' to me there—that a string o' ( band-boxes with crackers in 'em, and ail on a mud-flat, would do as much harm as the French fleet-—unless they blows up when we takes 'em." The Guffln shook his head. "Well, you know, Lampert, as I never 'ad no opinion of thVr fleet. But that a^p't the question. Salisbury may have 'is reasons for not takin' it away, though I fails to see 'em; but the real question is, why we don't have a man with guts and go in command. It's my firm belief as there's many a merchant captain as could work the diplomatic game to better hadvantage. Look at the experience we has, dealing with owners contrary as hell, and with consignees and with 'arbour-masters and pilots. Where Salisbury la wrong, is in his not goin' about and freshin' up his mind. And he works by rule o' thumb and dead reckoning. It ain't no wonder we can see Where's his eye's out." "It ain't,"' said the compliant Simcox. "Well," sighed Lampert, "I owns freely as I don't feel that sure I'd like to run his show." The Guffin laughed. "But you ain't 'ad my experience yet, Lampert. Now, I'd hundertake to come right down into the harena, and make them French and Germans sit up like monkeys on a horgan while I played the tune." "I believe you,'' said Simcox, rubbing his hard hands. "Look at the diff'culties we 'as to contend with," said the skipper, with a rapidly thickening utterance and an increasing loss of aspirates—"look at the vig'lance we 'as to use. Rocks and shoals and hother ships. It's 'igh education to be a master-mariner, and the Board of Trade knows it—knows4)lt well. This 'ere crowd's aH English "Breakers ahead!'* neither man's temper was of the sweetest, so they had a bit of a breeze. "What kind of a relief d'ye call this?" growled^ Simcox. "I call It a very good relief," replied Lampert, "and a darned sight better one than you deserve. You owe me ten minutes even now." He looked down the scuttle at the clock. "Why, you owe me twenty." Simcox flew out with pretended politeness. "Oh, make it half an hour! Don't let's haggle about such a trflfte. What's ,it matter if I stand here waiting? Can't I keep the whole bloomin' watch for you?" "Go to hell," sa^d Lampert sulkily. And Simcox went below. "To be a sailor is to be a natural born fool," said Lampert, addressing the bitter and' unkindly elements at large, "and to be on board a ship w,ith such a windy gassing crowd, from the \ old man down to the cook, is very trying. It's very trying." The wind took off a little later, but the weather was still thickish. "It's like lookin' through a haystack," grunted Lampert, "but there, bar an island or so there's nothing to speak of in our way. And if the skipper will crack on, and it a week since we saw the sun, it's the owners' look out, not mine." He spoke with a certain bitterness, as though he would really enjoy being wrecked, in the trust that the Potluck was not insured, and that old Jones would get his certificate cancelled, or at least suspended. " 'Twould give the old ass time to study, foreign politics," sheered Lampert, as it breezed up again. And five minutes' later, while Lampert was lighting his pipe half-way down the cabin stairs, he heard a bellow forward which made him drop thoughts of tobacco. "Breakers ahead!" The watch came out on deck and ran aft; and were followed by the watch below in various articles of attire, not calculated to keep them very warm. The Potluck had been running with the wind nearly dead aft. "Starboard, starboard!" roared Lampert. "Oh, steady; hold her there!" The vessel ran off to port at a sharp angle to her wake. "Up here some," yelled the mate, "and set the spanker! Stand by the My God!" (To be continued.) Professional Mourners. In ancient times funerals were followed by professional mourners, who simulated the appearance of the wildest grief. The custom survives in the valley of Sondrio in the Alps. Tnere the women do not follow the funeral, but they group themselves at the entrance of the cemetery and burn, in honor of the dead, candles which vary in size according to the remuneration. They, are as prodigal as were the mourners of ancient times in their simulation of excessive grief. Physical Culture Teacher Advises ita Liberal Use. One of the numerous physical culture teachers up town departs from the faith of trainers in advising his pupils to eat all the sugar they can get, says the New York Press. Either in taking off flesh or in putting on flesh his advice is to make sugar,' in some form or other, a liberal part of the daily diet^aA^the Madison Square Garden physical culture show next month he intends to exhibit two or three pupils to substantiate the efficacy of his methods. "Sugar is a very powerful stimulant and a great producer of nerve force," he said. "I spent two winters in the Klondike, where, the miners eat enormous quantities of sugar and molasses. They even sweeten salt pork with it. Men who simply soak themselves in sweets do twice the work of men who let sugar alone. Swiss mountaineers always carry a liberal supply of sugar in their kits. Negroes in the harvest fields grow fat on sugar cane. "In hot or cold climates a liberal diet of sugar will put a man in the finest possible condition. Whatever bad effects sugar may have at first are soon remedied by exercise. It has been a fad for two or three years to howl against the use of sugar, but there is no sound physiological reason for it." "Is There Any Money In It?" Gold is what we all are wishing, And for which we're ever fishing; There is hardly anything we will not undertake to win it. You can get our whole attention If you only chance to mention Some clever speculation that has got the money in it, The lawyer and the teacher And—we hate to say It—preacher, Are never quite so busy but they'll spars a little minute To listen to the offer That will fill the private coffer, They're sure to answer to the call that has the money in it. Even Cupid, 'tis asserted, Is by love of gold perverted, And whene'er he find a tender heart, before he seeks to win it, With aly and roguish glances, Always ask about finances; He really doesn't care to wed unless there's money in it.

American Meat Consumption. According to an English authority, we eat more than any other people. It takes 29 pence a day per capita to feed us. The Briton grows fat on 28 pence, the German on 21 pence, a Frenchman on 19 and an Italian on 9. The same authority tells us that we work and produce in proportion to our eating. Our annual exports are about in the same proportion. But we are not as sweetly Inclined as our British cousins. They eat seventy pounds of sugar a year and we but sixty-seven per capita.

He said: "I was told I had Diabetes and my symptoms corresponded exactly to those of a young man who died of Diabetes in this neighborhood. My feet and limbs were bloated quite a little. "I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills and at last determined to try them. I took in all ten boxes before I was well and now I can truthfully say that I am all right.

The price has fallen to $2,.000 per grain. Colombia's trouble about getting an army to the isthmus is a great argument in favor of good roads.

There are some men out there who ought to bathe, in It at once. A Washington bard makes isthmus rhyme with strabismus. Yet some critics claim we have no more strong poets. Perhaps if Herbert Spencer had been happily married he wouldn't have died of senile decay at the age of 83. Where did that German army officer who is charged with 1,000 separate cases of cruelty get time for his meals?

SAYS HE RECEIVED PETITION FROM NEARLY 1,000 DEPOSITORS ASKING CLEMENCY-THINKS ANDREWS WILL ASSIST IN SETTLING BANK'S AFFAIRS. islnjjf Mich., eel Lansing | December £%. — Governor Bliss has dlsappointee! suite of his best friends and pleased others by issuing a parole for Frank C. Andrews, of Detroit. The oarole for Andrews was not applied for nor granted in the regular way. No formal application was ever presented to the board of pardons, and the governor acted independently kof the board, and contrary to what would have been its recommendation in granting leniency. • It is understood that T. W. Atwood and other prominent members of the governor's cabinet were opposed to the parole, and it has been known for some time that a majority of the members of the old pardon board were opposed to the granting of leniency. Andrews was sent to prison August 18, 1902, for a crime committed in connedion with the failure of the City Savings Bank of Detroit. He has served sixteen months of a fifteen-year sentence. Governor Bliss said that he had spent a good deal of time on the matter within the past two weeks and he had come to the conclusion that the release of Andrews would be the best thing for the depositors of the bank. He had received a petition from about 1,000 of the bank's depositors, he said, and many letters had been written to him asking for the exercise of clemency. The governor thinks that the release of Andrews will be of assistance in settling up the bank's affairs and that the depositors will stand a better show of getting their money from the Institution, A while ago there was a good deal of opposition to the parole, but some of this has vanished 6ince the recent litigation In Detroit over the affairs of the bank. The faot that the governor did not commute Andrews's sentence before paroling him is significant. There is a rule of the prison board to the effect that no man shall be paroled befpre half his sentence has been served, so the custom is in a case where but a small portion of a long sentence has been served to first commute the sentence to bring it within the provisions of this rule. In Andrews's case, however, this was not done. The governor paid no heed to the board's rule, and issued a parole outright for Andrews. Technically, therefore, Andrews will be in prison until the end of his fifteen years' sentence, and cannot be arrested on a n / other of the charges pending against him until that time is up. By that time the charges will have been outlawed. According to the governor the reason for not first commuting Andrews's sentence is to hold a club over him so that in case he will not assist in every way in clearing up the affairs of the defunct City Savings Bank, go through bankruptcy himself, and show in all other \ possible ways that he is anxious to rehabilitate himself in the respect of the public, he can be sent back to serve out the rest of his sentence. The Leachmnn Mnrder. The showing made by the prosecution in the case of the people vs. Mrs. Caroline Collins, of New Lathrop, for murder by poison of her hired man, George Leach man. was so strong that the justice bound her over to the circuit court for trial. She will be arraigned on Monday, Jan. 11, in the circuit court, and will stand mute when asked to plead, as her attorney will be away on a southern trip, She will be returned to jail. Her trial will begin, undoubtedly, o'n or about Tuesday, Feb. 29. Mrs, Collins on being bound over, exhibited no emotion, and the large crowd which scanned her face eagerly f.or some tell-tale sign was disappointed, The lale Royal React)*. The bodies of the three men who met death in the Isle Royal min.ewere recovered Monday afternoon. They were brought to the surface by being strapped to boards and hauled up through old winzes and shafts. The work of recovering the bodies nearly led to other fatalities. The rescuing party numbered 13 and Only one of them reached the surface unaided, falling the moment he reached the open air. This excited the suspicions of those on the surface, and a volunteer party descended 700 feet a'fter Capt. Moylc and his party. The entire party were found unconscious and would have died in a short time but for the volunteers. Salt Malting.

Wayne county with 3W.235 barrels, showed a decrease of 333,600:- Mr. Forter thinks that Saginaw and Bay counties will increase their output before many years go by, as the coal miners will have great quantities of slack which they will be glad to sell cheap to independent manufacturers or they will go into salt making themselves* to get some return from it. Osteopath Certificate".

Ward is in jail in default of $300 bonds. Dennett to Remain. Edwin T. Bennett, former newspaper proprietor in Bay county, now serving a seven-year .sentence In Jackson prison for manslaughter, will ijot be given a pardon. C. L. Fox received a letter from Gov.

Th« letter Was a blow to Bennett's friends, who have been working hard in his behalf, as they were certain Gov. Bliss would release Bennett. The Soo Park.

Stock, to dp tljeir best, need to be eomfortable as well as warn. The two do not always go together, al* taoogn they ought to. Stock may be warmly sheltered, and still be uncomfortable, it they are, they wtU not ~> thrlre, as every good tamer knows. Bxtra feed pay make up for lack of •belter, and keep the animals warm, - the only loss being to the farmer who famishes three dollars' worth ofcofn meal to do what one dollar's worth of battens would have dene; but no amount of extra feed will make up directly (or loss of comfort Animals will, In time, get used to almost any treatment, I know; but wouldn't It be better and more profitable to make them comfortable from the first? There la very little money in the wintering of stock, at the best; and can * we afford to have cows give less milk, or steers take on less flesh, than they ought to, simply Because they are not comfortable? Some years ago I wintered a score of steers coming three years old. They had evidently never been in stanchions, but bad always run loose. I used stanchion* in my barn, and with a great deal of trouble and coaxing we got these wild fellows all fastened in. Then I gave them the best of feed In abundance; but they were so uncomfortable that they did not do it justice. By being very quiet and patient with them we got them broken so they would go into the stanchions without much trouble, after a while, hut they did not get thoroughly used to them, so as to be perfectly comfortable, in all winter. ' They were very much more comfortable along toward spring than when first put in, but « not thoroughly so. I never worked harder over a lot of cattle and never succeeded so poorly. They were not comfortable, and no amount of warm shelter and good care and feed would make up for i t I am perfectly satisfied that, could they have been tied up they would have been easy almost from the first start, mnd that the, result would have been far more satisfactory.—T. B. Terry - . J Testing the Self-Feeder. At the Illinois Experiment Station Professor Mumford has been testing the value of a self-feeder as against hand-feeding of steers, as to effect on the steers. Ten Bteers were fed by hand and ten by a self-feeder. After keeping the animals on full feed for 98 days, they were last week sold at the Chicago stockyards, bringing $5.40 per 100 weight. About a year ago they were bought for $4.85 per 100 weight The resuts ot the test are as follows: Self-fed. Hand-fed. (lbs.) (lbs.) Total gain 2510.00 2280.00 Average gain . . . . 251.00 228.00 • Av/ daily gain 2.561 2.326 Grain eaten per steer 2194.30 1946.00 Grain eaten daily per steer 22.00 19.60 It will be seen that the self-feeder cattle gained each .235 more per day than the hand-fed steers, but used 2.4 pounds more grain in doing i t At $5.40 per 100 weight this added gain brought In the market 1.269 cents and cost the value ol 2.4 pounds of grain. At 50 cents per 100 weight this grain would be worth 1.2 cents, or about the same as the value of the grain, So far as the effects on the cattle are concerned it would appear that selffeeding and hand-feeding are about equal. It is Impossible to feed any two bunches of steers and have the results exactly the same, even if both bunches be fed the same way. Incidental variation must always be counted on and unless there is quite a wide difference in the results, tho experiment must be regarded as nonconclusive. This appears to be the case in the experiment reported. Stock Judging in Iowa.

Tbe seed division of the Canadian department of agriculture offers suggestions of much interest to root growers. According,to Chief G. H. Clark of the seed division, a few farmers in Canada make a specialty of growing root crop seed, but practically tbe whole amount of such seed offered In the trade is imported from Europe and Is grown In France, Gonnany and England. A favorable clicaate and cheap labor have made these countries tbe seed gardens of tbe world. ; .

Until tbe consumers learn that It pays to use only seed that is taken from selected a&d transplanted roots grown in a climate similar to that where tbe seed Is wanted for pse th0 'quantity of home grown stock offered in tbe trade will be extremely limited. It therefore appears that growers of root crops will fina it to their advantage to purchase only seeds from extra selected stocks, no matter what" the price may be, or, better still, grow tbeir own seed from the best and most typical roots- raised on their own farms. * $2.00 Htm T I M I Hilf Face Prom Chicago VUCiiiciiO tfreat flfatorn Railwar.

"I want you men to keep your eyes skinned," he said presently. "Which or you is t h e astronomer?" "I am," answered t h e bow oar, who was a long, thin man, in a wideawake and spectacles.

"I wish to heaven I was ashore," said the, poor astronomer, "and when I get^fhere I'll see he nev^r' gets another job." Simpkins eyed the sleeping skipper in alarm.

As a boy he is said to have taken a horse load of arrows to Northallerton to be forwarded north in time for the battle-of Flodi den.

The Care of Raiment. Frequently when cleansing- a soiled fabric, such as a gown or waist, it. is difficult"'to find all the spots except in the strongest light. Try this plan: Take the garment outdoors or to a window where the sunshine pours* in aaft search for every stain. As it is touadY sew into the middle of it a tkraad of white if the fabric -is^dark colored, and a black, thread if the fabric is light. Then you can do the cleaning in any light and have , no fear of missing a spot. - A preventive measure, when a ^garment begins to wear thin, is to put a piece of material underneath the thin spot and then run it on without letting the thread go through the goods.

He tvas still uncouscloug and the fireman stuyed to care for him. the train continuing on its way In charge of a new er.gino crew.

The Journal says: "Somewhat recently a bill had passed both houses, and was awaiting the royal as. lienT, wmclTTuts^ow l>ecgTno a mere A great many writers in the last few years have written short sketches of Mr. Lincoln'u birth and early history, none of which agree in all particulars. For the want-ol proper information many of those writers have Jumped at conclusions. First of all was the shameful, damaging report that Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks were never married. They lived in Hardin county, Ky.. now Lauer county, and were suppose to have been married there. No mai riage license could be found on record, hence the false report^-no marriage. The article appearing in the Larue Herald says: ^Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks were married in Washington county, Ky., came to Larue from Washington county, and their oldest child, Sollie, was probably born there." So far so good. It also says Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks lived in Laura county "until Abe was about 15 years old." Frequent mention has been made, too, in articles' or-sketches referred to of Mr. Lincoln's associates in Larue county. These could have been true— but for facts in history. Mr. Lincoln was born in 1809, and his parents moved to Indiana ia 1816. There was au uncertainty about, Mr. Lincoln's birthplace, claimed in Larue county, and on inquiry of Mr. Lincoln about it ho said he was not born at the place suggested in fetter; was told I by his parents it occurred at another place, tunl his recollection was of the "Knob Creek place. — — — — An''article of recent date about "Lincoln's Neglected Birthplace" says: "There never would have been any question about the place if it had not been for a fact which is perhaps generally imki^owj^_JIhiij*~te--ircr-record" "in Hardin county or Larue of Thomas Lincoln as^a land owner."

Now the facts are these as related oyhood about thirty years after Mr. Lincoln's death." •* Mr. W. F. Booker, was) clerk of Washington county, Ky., when Mr. Lincoln first came into prominence, has held the office continuously since, and probably there is no man now living more familiar with the early history of Thos. Lincoln, his marriage and frnXbirthplace of A. Lincoln. The the clerk's office were not as now—there were no dates great question was: When and where did marriage occur? This information was furnished by Wm. Hardesty, an old man living near \ the Lincoln home. He told of the year in which the marriage took place Writer In Easteri} Paper Makes Public Some Interest* in* Facts Relating to the Life o! the Great Emancipator* made concerning Mr. Lincoln's school and boyhood days in Kentucky—not intentionally overdrawn, but seemingly impossible. Mr. Lineoln was born in 1809, and la 181C his father with family moved to Indiana. It has been said Mr. Lincoln never had anything to say of his early Ufo and history. He never knew. What pleasure- it would have given him to have known it all, we can only imagine. < - ~ Who, he was and what he was came too late when' the marriage license, solemnized and returned by Jesse Head, were brought to light from their long resting place in the clerk's office of Washington county.

It was then discovered that some provision ill the bill which had escaped observatiofc and criticism reduced it to au absurdity.

During Mr. Lincoln's presidency this Mr. Hardesty and a great granddaughter of Richard Berry, Miss Jennie Redding, were passing the old Lincoln home, talking of the President, arid Miss Jennie said: "Mr. riardesty, history says Mr. Lincoln was born in I,arue county." He replied, saying: "I don't care what history says—J know better." Mr. Broke/, now A /ing and clerk of Washington county, says: "It has been a disputed question between Washington county and Larue in regard to the, birthplace of Mr, Lincoln, but from the record evidence in office and the statement made by .Mr.. Hardesty, there were two children born to Thomas Lincoln ^and Nancy Hanks in the cabin now standing in this county.

Lincoln was born, and that Thomas Lincoln moved to Hardin „ county when this boy~was about 18 months old." Richard Beiry, whose name is>connected with a history of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, was uncle to Nancy Hanks, and sho was living in claiming great intimacy with Mr. Lincoin when a boy in .Kentucky.claimed the widow Johnson, his stepmother, as his real mother. To correct this mistake Mr. Lincoln wrote from" Illinois saying his father's name was Thos. Lincoln and his mother's maiden name was Nancy Hanks. Again he said he never knew who his grandfather was—"was more concerned about what his grandson would be."- . Mr. Lincoln had a mission to per1 form, and ho seemed conscious of it. He started in the race with a heavy burden upon him. He was never rid of it. There were those who ccuid have given him relief, but he knew them not.

You can estimate a man pretty correctly by the men whom he does not know. You will never "find" time for a^y* thing, if yoo want time you must make it. Civility is a charm that attracts the love of all men, and too much is bet ter than to show too little. If the average man could do as much work as he thinks he can, there would be little demand for .labor-saving machinery.— Auswers. Eastnett, Philadelphia Becord. off the MsI A Novel Correspondence Circle* A number of ladies* who taught in tbe Carthage schools several years ago have adopted a pleasant way of keeping in touch with each other.

But dn the nick of time he came across a! ntore experienced physician, who found no pronounced diabetes at all, but only; a very r«lMI case of glycosuria, which was perfectly amenable to a little care and home treatment. • And forthwith the roof was replaced with joy over the home of that family.

A treatment which, under favorable cir- - -eumstances,r-may work- to the good of ipverybody concerned may easily pratluce rank mischief in the case of less favored people. The really good physician is he who, Just like any other serviceable man in any other walk of life, will not act in strict accordance with one particular scheme, but will use his common sense and adapt himself to circumstances as* they may arise. Immeasurably may be the injury inflicted upon the physic condition of both the patjent and his family by prescribing, as absolutely necessary, medical preparations, fowls, and trips to spas which are beyond their means, and which would in many cases result in the ruin of business, home and family life.—American Medicine. l's letter.
