We haven’t qot All day to fool around here." ■ Winthrope twisted tbe creeper about bls leg and aUd to the ground, doing all he could to favor his hands. He found that he could walk without pain, and at once stepped over beside Blake’s club, glancing nervously around at tbe jungle. Blake jerked up the end of the creej»er, and passed the loop about Miss Leslie. Before she had time to become frightened he swung her over and lowered her to the ground lightly as a feather. He followed, hand under hand, and stood for a moment beside her. staring at the dew-dripping foli­ age of the jungle. Then the remains cf the night's quarry caught his eye, and he walked over to examine them.' "Say. Pat," he called, "these don't look like deer bones. J’d say—yes; there's the feet—it's a pig." "Any tusks?” demanded WinthropsMlss Leslie looked away. A heap of bones, however cleanly gnawed. Is not a pleasant right. The skull of the animal seemed to be missing; 'but Blake stumbled upon it In a tuft of grass and kicked It oat upon the<qpen ■ground. ; Every shred of hide and gristle had been gnawed from it by (he jackal*; yet If there had been any doubt as to the creature's Identity there was evidence to spare In the sav­ age tusks which projected from the "Je-rusalem!” observed Blake; "this old boar must have been something of a scrapper bls own eelf.” "In India they have been known to kill a tiger. Can you knock, out the tusks?" . "What for?" "Well, you said we had nothing tor arrow points—" “Good boy! We'll cinch them and ask questions later." A few blows with the club loosened the tusks. Blake handed them over to Winthrope, together with the whisky Bask, and led the way to tbe half­ broken patch through the thicket. A free use of his club made the path a little more worthy of the name, and as there was les* need of haste than on the previous evening, Winthrope and Miss Leslie came through with only a few fresh scratches. Once on open ground again, they soon gained the fallen palm*. At a word from Blake, Miss Leslie hastened to fetch nuts for Winthrope to husk and open. Blake, who had plucked three leaves from a fan palm near the edge of the. jungle, began to split long shred* from one of the huge leaves of a cocoanut palm. This gave him a quantity of coarse, stiff fiber/ part of which be twisted la a of the fan palm over‘her head. "How’s that for a bonnet?" he de­ manded. The Improvised bead-gear bore so grotesque a reumblance to a recent type of picture hat that Winthrope could not repress a derisive laugh. Miss Leslie, however, examined the hat and gave her opinion without a sign of amusement "I think It 1* splendid, Mr. Blake. If we must go out in the sun again, It is just the thing to protect one.” "Yes« Here’s two wore I’ve fixed for you. Ready yet, WinthropeT’ The Englishman nodded, and th© three sat down to their third feast of cocoanuts. They were hungry enough at the start, and Blake added no little keenness even to hl* own appetite by a grim Joke on the. slender prospects of the next meal, to the effect that If In the meantime not eaten themselves they might possibly And their next meal within a week. “But If we must move, could we not T was mid morning before ' n,alte reappeared.

Come on' We don’t want to miss the ebb." Blake** Impatience discouraged further Inquiries. He had turned as be spoke, and the other* followed him walking close together. Th© pace was sharp for Winthrope, and his ankle soon began to twinge. He was com pelled to accept MIbs Leslie's Invlta tlon to take her arm. With her-heir he managed to keep within a few yards of Blake. Instead of plunging into the man grove wood, which here was under­ grown with a thicket of giant ferns Blake skirted around In the open un til they came to the seashore. The tide was at Its lowest, and he wavet his club towards a long sand pit which curved out around the seaward edge of the mangroves. Whether this was part of the river’s bar or had beer heaped up by the cyclone would have been beyond Winthrope's knowledge had the question occurred to him. Il was enough for him that the sand wai smooth and hard as a race track. Presently the party came to the ent of the *pit. where tbe rivef water rip pled over the sand with the las feeble o.ut-f.uck of the ebb. On thel; right they had a sweeping view of th» river, around the flank of the man grove screen. Blake halted at th< edge of the water and half turned. “Close up." he said. "It’s shallov enough: but do you see those 1( over on the mud-batik? Those are llgators." ■ "Mercy—and you expect tpe to wti among such creatures?*’ cried M Leslie.’ “I went almost across an hour i and they didn’t bother me any. Co on!

The girl blushed, and retained "I prefer to help you," she replied “Come on!" called Blake, and h •plashed out Into the water. The others followed within arm'! length, nervously conscious of th rows of motionless reptiles on th mud-flat, not 100 yards distant In the center of the bar, where th water was a trifle over knee-deer some large creature came dartin downstream beneath the surface an passed with a violent swirl betweei Blake and his companions. At Mis Leslie’s scream, Blake whirled abou and jabbed with his club at the suj “Where’s tbe brute? youT he shouted. Has be thrope. “There be lx?" A long bqny snout, fringed on gested Winthrope. Blake poudcred over this as he ate, and when fully satisfied he helped him­ self up with his club be motioned ths others to remain seated. 'There are your hats and the strings,” he said, "but you won’t need them now. I'm going to take a pros­ pect along the river, and while I’m gone, you can make a try at stringing nuts on some of this leaf fiber." “But, Mr. Blake, do you think its Stopped to Survey the Coast stretch of dean *aad on the south lay In a flattened curve, which at the far end hooked sharply to th* left and appeared to terminate at the foot of the. towering limestone cliff* of the headland. A mile or more inland the river jungle edged in close to the cliffs; but from there to the beach the forest was. separated from th© wall of rock by a' little sandy plain, covered with creeping planta and small palms. The greatest width of the open space was hardly more than a quarter of a mile. Blake paused for a moment at' hlghtide mark, and Winthrope Instantly squatted down to nurse his ankle. “I say; Blake.” he said, “can’t you find me some kind of a cratch? It Is only a few yards around to. those trees.” “Good Lord.’ you haven’t been fool enough to overstrain that ankle— Yes, you have. Dammit! why couldn’t you tell me before?" "It did not feel so painful in the *1 helped the best I could,” inter­ posed Miss Leslie. “I think If you could get Mr. Winthrope a crutch—" “Crutch!" growled Blake. “How long do you think It would take me to wade through the mud? And look at that cloud! We're in for a squall. Here!” He handed the girl the smaller string of cocoanuts. flung the other up the beach and stooped for Winthrope to mount hl* back. He then started off along the beach at a sharp trot Miss Leslie followed as best she could, the heavy coconuts swinging about with ever)’ step and bruising her tender body. • ' The. wind was coming faster than Blake had calculated. Before they had run 200 paces they heard the roar of rain-lashed water, and the squall struck them with a force that almost overthrew the girl. . With the wind came torrents of rain that drove through their thickest garments and drenched them to the skin within the first half-minute. Blake slackened his pace to a walk and plodded sullenly along beneath the driving downpour. He kept to the lower edge of the beach, where the sand was firmest, for the force of the falling deluge beat down the waves and held In check the breaker* which the wind sought to roll up the beach. The rain storm was at Its height when they reached the foot of the cliffs. The gray rock towered above them 30 or 40 feet high. Blake de­ posited Winthrope upon a wet lodge and straightened up to scan the head­ land. Here and there ledges ran more than half-way up the rocky wall; In other places the-crest was notched by deep clefts; but nowhere within sight did either offer a continuous path to the summit Blake grunted with dis­ gust. “It’d take a fire ladder to get up this side." he said. "We’ll have to try the other. If we can get around the point. I’m going on ahead. You can follow, after Pat has rested his ankle. Keep a sharp eye out for anything in the flint line—quartz or agate. That means fire. Another thing, when this-' rain blows over, don't lot your clothes dry on you. I'v© got my hands full-’ enough without having to nurse you, through malarial fever.

Winthrope and Mis* Leslie, seated side by side in dripping misery, watched him swing away through the rain without energy •nougb to call out a parting word. Beneath the cliff the sand beach was succeeded by a talus of rocky debris which In places sloped up from the water 10 or 15 feet The lower part of the slope consisted of bowlder* and water-worn stones, over which the surf, reinforced by the rising tide, was beginning to break with an angry Blake picked hts way quickly ov®r the smaller stones near the top of the slope, now and then bending to snatch up a fragment that seemed to differ from the others.

But the shore was protected by a double line of reefs, so close in that channel be­ tween did not show a whitecap. This was fortunate, since in places the talus here sank down almost to the level of I low tide. Even a moderate surf would have rendered farther progress Im­ practicable. Another 100 paces brought Blake to the second corner of the cliff, which jutted out in a little point. He clam­ bered around It and stopped to sur­ vey th'e coast beyond. Within the last few minutes the squall had blo^n over and the rain began to moderate its downpour. The sun, bursting through the Clouds, told that the storm was almost past, and Its flood of direct light cleared the view. Along the south side of the cliff the sea extended In twice as far as on the north. From the end of the talus the coast trended off four or five miles to the south-southwest in a shallow bight, whose southern extremity was bounded by a second limestone head­ land.

' A rather interesting disclosure cropped out In connection with the trial of former State Treasurer Frank P. Glazier, which'was resumed after the holiday recess. It was that the Chelsea Savings bank kept a regular account for the purchase of tax titles, the reason being that the interest de­ rived made them attractive induce­ ments. On the books of tbe bank they were known as tax certificates, blocks of them being purchased from four ■ western states. With the books of the hank admitted In evidence so far as they relate to Glazier’s various ac­ counts. the prosecution began to trace the course of the sums of money de­ posited by the state treasurer In the Chelpea bank, for the purpose of show­ ing that It was these deposits that raised the bank's assets above normal and enabled the bank to Ioan Glazier large sums of money. The prosecu­ tion contends that as a matter of fact Glazier made these large deposits of state funds that he might be able to get them from the bank.

The Nashville Lumber Co. “ Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot.' If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 8500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with tbe Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a >500 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �= WINTER ARM SALE- We are up against it, and might as well admit it.

O. G. MUNROE Our Unknown Heroes. , A poem written by A. G. Murrsr and read at the contest meeting of Laurel Chapter. O. E. S.. Tuesday evening. There were doings In fair Nashville in the year of 11*08 'Tis known to every stranger who comes within our gate. That a contest, tierce, is raging and pitted man to man. Are the blacksmiths sooty neroes and the tailors hardy clan. There are gifted warriors listed within each gallant banu Whose names may well be honored all over this fair land. Among these unnamed heroes are some grown old in wars: The jewels on their gallant breasts more eloquent than scars, But some were young and suddenly beheld their fame decline. And one had come from Holland, fair Holland on the Rhine. And his glad black eyes will sparkle till they fairly dance and shine. When we hear, or seem to hear, the German song he used to sing in chorus sweet and clear. And down along the river and up on Purkey’s hiP The echoes ring the chorus through the evening calm and still. Next comes a sternfaced hero, a veteran old and gray, Whose eagle eye has never quailed in fierce or bloody fray. He stands as stands the soldier, to bravely do and dare, . With honored scars upon his breast and hayseed in his hair. Next is a standard bearer a Scotchman brave and bold Who came from “Bonny Scotland” in search of fame and gold, < And his comrades gather round him to hear what he may say —. When he rises tall and stately on the evening of the fray. As teacher, farmer, merchant, he has won both fame and might, But like “Old Bony” he may tneel his Waterloo tonight. Next comes a mighty hunter who midst the northern snow, Once conquered single handed a red fox and a doe, And he tells the story proudly with calm and steadfast eye, That ’twas really he that killed them, but Joe Baker saw them die. And when the contest’s over we may see him in the van With the ladies serving supper, for he’s our ladies' man. Next a form of manly beauty, tall and stately as the pine, And he was not born at Bingen, fair Bingen on tbe Rhine, But at Maple Grove in Barry our hero first saw light And was kissed by lovely ladies to the youngster’s huge delight. When the bugle sounds for rations he is never sad nor sick. But discharges every duty like a hero brave and Quick. There’s another, not a sister in the happy days of yore, ‘ • Used to visit and to solder in a near-by hardware store. Yet on matters appertaining to loans on real estate He U stocked with information and strictly up-to-date. You may Know him by the|merriment that sparkles in his eye When he helps to'brew the coffee and cut the chicken pie. _.an the roll a bashful man of spber, middle age. Who long has been a truant bird and thinks a home a cage. But he sadly needs a song bird to dust and make the bed. And rock the little birdies when the evening sky is red. Perhaps some chubby ibngster of our bright Eastern Star May take a trip to Europe o’er bounding billows far: Then where tbe blue Rhine sweeps along and his foolish fear has fled, This bashful man from Nashville in a foreign land may wod. And now the DaUle ebbs and flows and mighty speakers clash And nearer, clearer rolls the din and nearer comes the hash The vanquished ones must soon provide When the whitewinged dove of peace Shall spread her wings o'er gory field and sound of war shall Now the pale moon rises slowly and calmly she looks down On a bort of hungry warriors on the pleasant village ground. LaA everv shining blade be sheathed and all proclaim a truce, While the blacksmith in his flaming forgo can cook the tail­ or’s goose. : ■ I I j J ' j I j 9ur=ri«e Ulin to.- vi.TcrsIn one of Balzac's novels there is an incident in which a Parisian hostess gives delight In an elderly dinner guest by always having an extra dish, by way of a surprise, for hiln. Something of the same sort was provided by the hostess of a luncheon party at a Broadway hotel the other day through the agency of the head waiter and the chef. "Canape a la Russe.” the dish was called, and in spite of gastronomic traditions It was the piece de resist­ ance of the meal. The canape was shaped like a pyramid and was com­ posed of such a variety of things that It is not easy to remember them all. The base of tbe pyramid rested on a plaque covered with the grated y^lka of hard-boiled eggs, bordered with the hearts of endive. The first layer round the base was composed of filets of Russian herring, set in dainty strips of red pepper rinds. The negt row .above consisted of medallions of caviare framed in strips of green peppers. Next was a row of slices of hard-boiled eggs surrounded by capers, this finish­ ing the base. The shaft of the pyramid was composed of first a fine ripe tomato stuffed with celery mayonnalse; next an alligator pear, then a whole hard-boiled egg placed upright surmounted by a heart of lettuce. These we'« all held in place by a long silver skewer. Output of British Potteries. The early buyers always get their pick of the bar­ gains. Masons Bar Liquor Dealers. The Masons of the sute of Washing­ ton have placed a ban on the liquor business as a means of livelihood for members of the order. The Grand Lodge at a recent meeting made an Ironclad ruling prohibiting traffic in whisky by Masons within its jurisdic­ tion. Hereafter to engage in the Honor traffic is to commit a Masonic offense, punishable by expulsion, from which there shall be no appeal. Excusable Sarcasm. An officer, quite covered with univeislty diplomas, was recently sent to Morocco.

GLASGOW Jerome Bailey of Girty s Falls, a retired blacksmith, baa of late taken to passing the plenty of time he has on band in demonstrating bow much he knows about the angling art. He finds' tbe greatest pleasure in casting tbe illusive fly that now and then tempts some Incautious black bass to its undoing. The drought, now partially disturbed by recent fails of rain, greatly inter­ fered with Mr. Bailey's indulgence In the pastime, there being more work in 11 than he could And water sufficient to compensate for, the walking a mile or two between pool*. and ripples on the intervening spaces of dry and stony river bed being exasperating as well. ' , “If some one would only get up an attachment .to a rod that would throw tbe fly and land the fish.” said he, in a contemplative mood, as be mopped bls brow and gazed down the river a mile at a spash of water almost boiling In tbe sun, "be would make an Independ­ ent fortune.- I'd get one right away and go out somewhere and get a whole lot of big bass right away.” "Attachment be swizxled,” said Dea­ con Bird Galloway, who fishes some himself nights for bullheads. “Why don't you put a good-sized dobber on your line, get some nice young frogs for bait and go out and still-fish for your bass? With that tackle and bait you can just ait down in the shade and read novels while-you wait for 'em to lure the bass up to snatch the handicapped frog. That is. if you want to keep on. sticking to.bass fish­ ing. If you want to have some real fishing, though, get some night walk­ ing fish worms and come along with me to-night and haul in bullheads.'' Angler. Bailey doesn't believe In bait fishing, 'and he scorns bullheads, feut he did want some bass, so he said be would give the frog and dobber scheme a chance. He gave a boy a quarter to get him'a couple of dozen young frog*. They were nice little green fel­ lows, two inches long. He bought the biggest dobber be could find. It had a goose quill through It and was all painted green, green as the frogs were. A dobber Is a pear­ shaped piece of light wood that floats In the water, the line passing through the quill. The dobber keeps the bait in proper position in the water and down it goes cut of sight when a fish seizes the bait and rushes away with it. Mr. Bailey shouldered his fish-pole and went down to the river, found a big area of water, sat down In the shade of a tree, put a lively frog care­ fully on his hook and chucked the bait in the water. The frog went to the bottom or as near it as the dobber would let It. and the dobber looked like a miniature green Island In the • Tbe man who still fishes for bass or any other fish must be well stocked With patience. It may be an hour be­ fore a fish inclined to take the risk of the bait comes along to take IL but the angler is in constant and pleasur­ able expectation of any moment see­ ing the dobber go under, and that sus­ tains him during the wait Three bites an hour may be a safe estimate to put on the results of the average efforts of the still fisherman and his bait, but ttometimes they come much faster. Half an hour went by. No bite had come to patient Mr. Bailey. A small boy. standing up to his knees in the water on the opposite side of that pool, was pulling in a bass every ten min­ utes. Mr. Bailey hailed him as to bls bait, intending to bribe the urchin Into supplying him with some of the same kind. , "What are you fishing with, Bub?” Bailey asked. ■Frogs,’' the boy yelled back as soon as he had.safely landed another big bass he had hooked. Angler Bailey thought It was gumbasted funny that he didn't get any bites, but he dldn^t believe in pulling up his hook every little while to see what was the matter, and so he sat and waited. •'I’M get a whalloper when one does grab that bait!” said he. "A fourpounder. I shouldn't wonder." The sun was getting well along be­ hind tbe hills over in the west Bailey began to show that he was disgusted with this bait fishing for bass. The boy bad caught all the bass be wanted and gone home. Supper time was drawing nigh. "Jeeswlzzlad if I’m going io lose my supper for all the bass there Is be­ tween here and Havre de Grace,** said he, "four-pounders and all!" Then he got up and pulled In his line. When he lifted the big green dobber from the water be was amazed to see no line hanging beneath it Then a, second later it was a wonder that the green dobber and everything else within hearing of that spot didn’t turn blue. Mr. Bailey was emitting language. Cosily perched on the big green dobber, nestling a&dnst'the quill, sat the little green frog. The little green frog had become tired, too. waiting for a fish to come along and lake it, and it had come up out of the watery depths and climbed on the green dobChinese Port Losing Trade.

Schulze Loloj �1 MAP SHOWING KXT£NT OF SARTHQUAKR. Message to Lower American Battleships Reach HOT SLAP AT “LIMITATIONS.” WELCOMED BY LANGE CROWDS Sues, Jan. 4.—The United States At­ lantic battleship fleet, completing two days ahead of its schedule the next to the longest run of Its world-girdling cruise, arrived here yesterday morn­ ing from Colombo, a distance of 3.440 knots, from which place the fleet sailed on December 20. The lotto of a seaman from the batt:eshlp Illinois, who • fell overboard and was drowned was the only acci­ dent to mar ihe voyage from Colombo. The Illinois remained on the scene to search for the sailor and was a little behind the fleet • The stately array of battleships was an impressive sight The weather was splendid and the bay was crowded with craft,, the occupants of which gave an enthusiastic welcome to the ships. Despite' their long trip, the warships, looked as smart and trim as though turned out for a naval review. Sorry the Visit Was Brief. When the ships bad come to anchor the Egyptian and canal authorities went aboard the flagship Connecticut and welcomed Rear Admiral Sperry, who expressed himself as well satis­ fied with the cruise from Colmobo. He regretted that he was compelled to curtail his stay in Egypt, but hoped that at some future time an oppor­ tunity would be given him to visit Cairo. The admiral spoke of the Aus­ ' tralssian visit of the fleet as the spe­ cial feature of the trip. Universal regret was expressed here that the visit of the battleships was so brief. » It had been expected that a representative officer would visit Cairo and be presented to the khedlve on the anniversary of his accession to the throne oc January 8. A contin­ gent of 500 officers aud men left by special train for Cairo In UkKafternoon. Hurrying on to Italy. The converted cruiser Yankton en­ tered the canal yesterday afternoon and the supply ship Culgoa passed in last night. The former has a number of doctors aboard and the latter a large supply of provisions and stores. Both will go to Messina at full speed. All arrangements were made by wire­ less for the ships of the fleet to pass through the canal as quickly as pos­ sible and to coal at Port Said, where 25,000 tons are stored. The authorities had made arrange­ ments for tbe battleships to have right of way for,a clear run through the canal. < The Connecticut, Vermont, Kansas and Minnesota entered tbe canal at six o'clock this' morning and will ar­ rive at Port Said at ten o'clock to­ night. The second group, consisting of the Louisiana. Kentucky. Ohio. Missouri and Virginia will enter Tues­ day, and the third line, composed of the Wisconsin, Kearsarge, New Jer­ sey, Rhode Island; Georgia and Ne­ braska, 4. ill start Wednesday. At Port Said the crews will coal the bat­ tleships with all possible speed, so as to be in position to go quickly to Mes­ sina if it is finally determined to fiend them there. , , WILL NOT REVIEW OIL CASE.

A savings account with this bank Is worth 100 cents on a dollar—all the time plus 4% compounded quarterly. Why? Be­ cause O'ir capital stock is sufficient to protect our depositors. Sec. 46 of the becking laws of Michigan reads as follows I 1‘Tho stockholders of evehr bank shall bo individually liable equally and ratably, and not one for another, for the benefit of Its depositors in said bank to the amount of their stock In per value In addition to said stock. Thus you will observe that a safe and good place to deposit your money Is not so much in a bank that doos the largest amount of business or has tbe largest amount of deposits, but in a bank whose capital stock Is In proportion to Its deposits. Every honest banker will have to oonoedethat the first $1.00 deposited In a bank organized under the laws of the State of Michigan has bettor protection than when the deposits far exceed the capital stock. The same rule applies to loaning money to a farmer. $10.00 loaned to Smith, who owns a farm worth $4,000.00, has better protection then $20,600.00 loaned to Jones, who owns a farm of the same value that Smith doos.

MANAGEMENT Bank with OLD The success of a bank and the safety of the funds intrusted to it depend upon a judicious ad­ ministration of its affairs. Every officer of The Fanners and Merchants Bank is a practical banker of long experience. Its Directors are all well known men selected for their business ability and financial standing The strength of this bank lies not aloneinite large capital, surplus and resources, but in the char­ acter and financial responsibili­ ty of the men who conduct its . affairs. The Farmers and Merchants Bank Nashville, Michigan Forty-one Year* Separation WIIHsni Coolbaugh find* ’ Slater*. Probably there was never a person more surprised that William Coolbaught a resident of this village, when he discovered the whereabouts of two sister* and a brother whom be he has never seen. It stems that when Mr. Coolbaugh was - about *ix months old . hl* mother died, leaving himself, -one brother and two sisters orphans. The family was living in Nelson town­ ship, Montcalm county, at the time, ana shortly after that a family named Coolbaugh adopted the babe and tried to keep the adoption a secret. How­ ever, when he reached the age of four or live years he discovered that 11m? peonte with whom he was living were not "his parents, but- he did not dis­ cover his correct name until he was about twenty-one, when he found out his name was Overly. From that time until this he has1 lived twithin comparatively a short distance from the place of his birth, and h$s always wondered if he had any living relatives and if so, where they were located. • A short time ago Mr. Coolbaugh was told that there was a family of Overly* living at Cedar Springs. After’hearing this Mr. Coolbaugh wrote a. letter to the postmaster at that place asking for Information in regard to the Overly family. When the postmaster received the letter he banded it to an Overly who runs a meat market at that place. This gentleman, not knowing'any­ thing about the history of the family, handed it to a Mr*. Woodhull, whose maiden name was Overly. Upon read­ ing the letter Mr*. Woodhull knew at once that Mr. Coo)bough was the brother from whom she had long been separated. She at. once wrote Mr. Coolbaugh informing him that she was his sister and that she remember­ ed him as her little blue-eyed brother, and that she would be very glad to have him make her a visit. Mr. Coolbaugh also, received a letter from his neice, telling him that he was an uncle of twenty and a great uncle of ten. QUARANTINE REMOVED. Federal Restrictions Substantially Decreased.

At the meeting in Washington today of inspectors of the department of ag­ riculture who have been investigating the hoof and mouth disease In Mich­ igan, it is probable that the restric­ tions of the federal quarantine which still remain in force in this state will be materially decreased. This announcement was made yes­ terday after a lengthy interview which Representative Charles E Townsend, Charles E. Hurless of Manchester and Joseph Stevens of Buffalo had with Dr. Melvin, chief of the bureau of animal* industry. If the inspectors report that no new cases of the disease have been found, all of the territory exclusive of Oak­ land and Wayne counties will either have the embargo lifted entirely oir* relief will lie given in Individual cases after examination by federal officers. Secretary cf ’ Agriculture Wilson told the house committe on agriculture some startling facts about the fight against the foot and mouth disease which existed for several weeks among, certain herds of ca|tle in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Maryland. It is believed human beings have developed the disease, if not from serhm from vaccination in which the disease is believed to' have been im­ ported from abroad, then by eating the meat of diseased animals.

Von It has been announced that — the fourth number on the Nashville lecture course for this season would be a home talent number, to be given late in January or early in February. Late yesterday afternoon, however, a contract was made whereby another lycum attraction will be given instead of the home entertainment. The attraction will be one which is abso­ lutely uqique, and promises to be of unusual interest. Rev. Rawei, accompanied by his wife and son, all native New Zealanders, will give the entertainment, which will consist of a portrayal of native life in the South Sea Islands. They are edu­ cated people, Mr. Rawei being a college graduate, and they will pre­ sent in story, song and picture a most clever and unusual entertainment. Their entertainment is illustrated with three hundred beautiful views, many of them in natural colors, showing the rare tropic beauty of the South Sea islands. The entertainment will be given on Wednesday evening of next week, January 20, and the price to those not holding season tickets will be 35 cents for adults and 25 cents to pupils of the schools. MISSION OF A COUNTRY PAPER. No country paper should publish ail the news. It should be brave enough to tell the truth where it will count for good, and big enough to suppress it when only a vulgar appetite 1* to be pandered to and an additional wound given to some heart that already is sorrowing. This is tbe.oplnion expressed by A. A. Smith, publisher of the Port Angle* (Waah.) Tribune-Times. It is not every country newspaper man who has arrived at the state of make-up where papvrdoni. Ami when, its disciple ha* learned that he best exemplifies his craft when he treads the modest pathway of printing, in mellow tones, all the new* of his home town that is printable without a sting, that sympathises with the sorrowing, ex­ ults wit)» the glad, breathes loyalty and helpfulness; buries vice, Ignores scandal, and makes for right living and tlie common good, he has reached his true niche, a point of usefulness in a profession that need* no apolo­ gies as it marches on with the olbefevidences of the upward trend of the race. JUMPED THE FENCE. . Tobe Garlinger is wearing one side of hi* face in mourning. It isn't merely a bl^ck eye. It is the entire side of bis physiognomy. He looks as though he had had a short interview with Stanley Ketchel or Johnson or some other light of the pugilistic arena, but he claims it didn't happen that way at all. and those who know his lamb-like disposition will be dis­ posed to believe him. Tobe claims that he was going home from Jasper Deeds’ place the other .night, after doing Jasper's chores for him, and was trying to climb over a barb-wire fence when something caught him in the slack of the trousers, (he lays .it to the barb wire) and then the- frozen ground rose up and slapped, him all over one side of hi*' countenance. Well, it looks rather funny, but it wasn’t any laughing matter for Tobe, who promptly summoned a doctor to try to bring his mug back to ' some sort of resemblance to a human being.Anyway, it is a bad job, and it hasn’t enhanced Tobe’s beauty a darned bit, but he will look better in a couple of weeks.

Don’t pull a long face. Hope a bit. Get a smile on you. Hold up your head. Get a hold with both hands. Then pull. Bury your hatchet. Drop your tomahawk. Hide your little hammer. When a stranger drops in tell him this is the greatest town on earth. Iti*. Don't get mulish. Don't roast. Be jolly. Get popular. It’s dead easy.; Help yourself along. Push your friend with you. Soon you'll have a whole processiou. Be a good fellow. No man ever helped himself by knocking other people down. No man ever got rich trying to maka people believe that he was the only good man on earth. You can’t climb the ladder of fame by stepping on other people's corns. They’re their corns; not yours. And they’re tender. Keep off the corns. All men are not alike. Once, in a while you may find one who is very much alike. But some are different. You’re not the only shirt in the wash. If you don’t like their style let ’em alone. Don’t knock. You’ll get used to it. There’s no end of fun in minding your own business. And it makes other people like you better. Better have others get stuck on you than get stuck on yourself. Nobody get stuck on a knocker. Don't be one. Be good.—American Printer. GREAT EVANGELISTIC MEET­ INGS CLOSE. The Union Evangelistic meetings which have been in progress for the past two weeks, were brought to a close Monday evening in the Method­ ist church. The meetings have been a success in every way, and the only regretable thing is, that they could, not continue. Evangelist Ranton. who has attracted large crowds for the last two weeks, delivered a power­ ful and effective address upon the sub­ ject: ‘ The Three Scarlet Sins of Nashville". The sermon reached everyone pres­ ent, and did not score the wayward brother, but was filled with the Love of God, and the earnest appeal of the speaker. When the invitation was given more than a score testified that from then on they would live the Christian life. It was very impressive to see sturdy young men deciding to make Christ their Savior, and by so doing declare to the world that they would stand for what is good and true in life. The value of the meetings just clos­ ed cannot be estimated, as their in­ fluence will go on through the count­ less ages of eternity. Although Mr. Ranton has left, may the spirit of revival remain and many is pretty floe. about it. NUMBER 21 LOCAL NEWS. Skate* st Prau’s.. Go and see the moving pictures.

Michigan LIQUOR LAWS TOO Executive Makes Several Recommen­ dations and Mighty Minds Look at Them Seriously—Other Notes of the Wolverine Lawmakers fromLansing. Lansing.—A law to suppress the legislative lobbyist and' further re­ strictive measures against tbe liquor traffic are recommended by Gov. Warner in his third inaugural mes­ sage, submitted to the assembly. The executive says: "The profes­ sional lobbyist who stands ready at all times to serve whatever Interest Is willing to pay him his price should be banished utterly from the halls of legislation, and those repre­ sentatives of legitimate interests who are concerned properly with pending legislation, should be required to reg­ ister and disclose the source of their employment and the measures which they favor or oppose. The proper dis­ charge of your duty to your constitu­ ents demands that this needed legis lation be supplied at an early dale." Concerning the liquor traffic, the .governor says: "in common with the trend of public sentiment throughout the country, there is a growing dispo­ sition on the part of citizens of Michi- Wetmor* Is Mads Chairman. The opening gun of Michigan legislallve warfare was Cred in the senate caucus. Senator Wetmore as chair­ man and leader of the administration forces throwing down thd gauntlet to the "boxers." and incidentally getting in the first blow. The "boxers” had evidently decided to make no fight for the preliminary organisation, -.and all voted for Wetmore for chairman of the caucus. Senator Ming of Alpena was nominated for president pro tem., E. V. Chilson for secretary.and George N. Jones of Marine City sergeant-atarms. Senator Moriarity moved that a committee of three be appointed to arrange the patrohage, and without blinking an eye Wetmore named Sen­ ators Kline, Barnaby and Newton. This was the Indian sign, as courtesy would have dictated that the mover of the motion be placed in tbe com­ mittee. Everybody laughed hnd Mori­ arity felt his Jaw io see if he had re­ ceived a knock-out blow, but later an­ nounced that a finish fight would be needed to put him out There was some talk of taking the committee ap­ pointments away from Lieut. Gov. Kelley, but the latter forestalled this by quietly informing some of the new­ comers what was in store for them at his hand, so they feared to Join any opposition that might fall down. How­ ever, the signs indicate that there Is going to be a nice fight before the ses­ sion Is over.

The ex­ I ecutlve recommends that the smaller political units, the cities, villages and townships, be given power to restrict or abolish the liquor traffic. Continuing, the governor says: "Over-capitalization and stock water­ ing manipulations by corporations Is an evil which disastrously affects the genera! public. The railroad com­ panies have been the greatest offend­ ers in this respect. To the end that the public may be protected, all is­ sues of stocks and bonds of public service corporations at least should. ■in my opinion, be required to have tho approval of some competent state au­ thority.” Gov. Warner calls attention to a de­ mand of the people that telegraph and telephone companies be required to pay an ad valorem tax. and mentions the desirability of enacting a law for the regulation of the business of stock brokers. Enlargement of the primary election law, jurisdiction of the rail­ road commission over water transportatlpn lines which are operated wholly between Michigan points, and active measures to lessen the fire waste are urged.

The last three held the same positions lust session. After the usual speechmaking the caucus ad­ journed. After an hour's conference, the senators decided to cut out 16 em­ ployes.' limiting the number to 32, one for each senator, exclusive of the desk force which consists of eight. This will not prevent future resolutions being passed. New Committee a Puzzle. The personnel of the house commit­ tee on liquor traffic has started a guessing contest as to what are the sentiments of the members. It was not until the last minute that the com­ mittee was fixed, as numerous changes were made. There are six new mem­ bers on the committee. Waters, the chairman, is from Saginaw; VanRaalte is from Holland; Watkins from Alle­ gan county; Straight from Coldwater; Rice from St. Joe; Morrice from Har­ bor Springs; Stevenson from Detroit.

Any attempt to change the drainage laws of this state at the present ses­ sion of tbe state legislature will be op­ posed by the Drain Commissioners* association of Michigan. Daniel J. Al­ bertson, secretary' of the association, declares Michigan has the best drain­ age laws of any state in the union, and that the rapid development of the state has been partly due to this fact The association met in Lansing and at that time a committee appeared before the legislature to learn what changes are planned in the law and seek to pre­ vent such action. time before the treasury accumulates a surplus.

The Nashville Lumber Co ft Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings be should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 9500 in cash. The fact that the ■ manufacturers make this . . ..... . •«_ . .v i j • • __ IT»»r«>ttee shows lh.t they know thst their rod is an abrolute proteeUtm ni-ain' t ilro ’t. it against fire kv by llrrHlnlnrw lightning. Mnw Now ien Isn't it tAAIish foolish, in in nrridr order tzy to aavn save na fnw few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor tho man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, bufI would much rather equip your build­ ing* with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew will protect them, and oik which you get a $500 cash gnarantce that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and Bee this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J.

Try and imagine my feelings; there was Bag and me in the midst of the Seven Devils, with the free and inde­ pendent state of Idaho stretched all around us, and not another living soul within a hundred miles of us, that we knowed of; and there was Bag hank­ ering out loud for pie, when, sudden­ ly, out of the midst of tbe solitudes and without warning, that female speaks up and says: "Well, I reckon you can have some." "Would you mind," I asked, as soon as I could get my voice back into my mouth, "telling an anxious inquirer where in the hotel you dropped down from?" "Weiser," she answered. “I’ve got your part team here. I’m his wife?’ "His wife,” I asked, "who’s he?" "Why, Mr. Smith, of course, who’d you suppose?" I wasn’t supposing, 1 was beyond that. "Oh!" said I. , “Yes," she continued, “Mr. Smith and I were married In Weiser three weeks, ago and started for catnp to­ gether, but he broke his leg about three days back, and I had to leave him and come on alone. I've got him fixed up nice and comfortable, though with plenty to eat and my Bible, so’s he won't get lonesome. He said for me to tell you to pack up and ztart back just u Boon as ever you could.’’ “Yes, ma’am." said I, thinking of the Bible.

The house was In no mood to treat tbe subject otherwise than seriously, although In the remarks which were made the references to the president almost invariably were couched I' d parliamentary language. Nor was the president without his supporters. Senate Passes Census Bill. The senate yesterday passed a bill providing conditions under which the thirteenth census will be taken. The house bill, which was under consider­ ation, was amended to allow printing kand binding of census reports to'be done by private contract Instead of in the government printing office If found desirable by the director of the census. An amendment placing the appointment of 3.500 census office clerks under the civil service commis­ sion was defeated.

Terrible Explosion of Gas in Mine at Zeigler, III. l 1 Bellingham, Seattle, Vancouver and | Other Cities Feel a Tremor of the Earth. I Carthage, Ill., Jan. 13.—Rev. John H. Carmichael, who last Tuesday night in the little Methodist church at Rattle Run, -Mich., killed Gideon Browning, the village carpenter, and then burned the body In the stove, committed suicide "here yesterday by cutting his throat with a pocket knife. He died at the county hospital after he had been taken from the boarding house of Miranda Hughes, where as a stranger he had been living-since last Friday. Long, Weird Confession. In a long written confession which was* found in his suit case. Carmichael told in detail the story of the killing of Browning; how he had fallen a vic­ tim to Browning’s hypnotic power and meeting him in the church Tuesday night, was compelled to obey every command, how finally when Browning attacked 'him with knives he, Car­ michael, defended himself with a hatchet. After finishing his victim with the hatchet, he said, the red-hot stove In the church room suggested Itself aa the best method of disposing of the body. Before putting the body In the stove, however, he exchanged some of the dead man's clothing for his own, which had become bespattered with blood. Cuts His Own Throat Carmichael's death was almost as horrible as that of his victim. When be arrived at the Hughes’ boarding house he gave the name of John Elder and as he said he was a woodworker and had come here to start a factory no suspicion was attached to his presence. Once he went to a Catholic priest and declaring he himself was a Catholic, asked the influence of the members of the church in helping him in business. Although so far as he knew he was still beyond the reach of de­ tectives. the crisis came yesterday morning when about 7:30 o'clock he informed Miss Hughes that as no satisfactory site for his factory could be found here, he intended to go to Bowen, 111. • ”1 think I will find a better site there," he said ’’I'll take the nine o'clock train.” Saying this he went out Into the back yard. There he cut his throat. Two Crushed Women. Adair. Mich.., Jan. 12.—There are two crushed, heart-broken women in this sensation-torn little village. They are Mrs. John H. Carmichael, widow of the preacher-murderer who com­ mitted suicide yesterday in Carthage, Ill., and Mrs. Browning, mother of Gideon Browning, the victim of Car­ michael’s murderous mania. Mrs. Car­ michael, harrowed for six dajs by forebodings and uncertainty, was told soon after noon that her husband had been found, nnd before she bad fairly grasped this news she was told that he died from self-inflicted wounds. The aged Mrs. Browning, sick at the home of her son-in-law here, heard in the news of Carmichael's death and his strange confession, the death-knell of any hopes that tbe identification of the murdered man as her son was in­ correct.

Drawing out a letter, and aeeing the address, she exclaimed: "Why. Albert! What are you doing with a letter addressed to Mrs. Mary A. Landon, Trenton, N. J.F'"Gee whiz! I forgot that letter.

Yea, I will take It, or poor Mrs. Jerome's letter may never see the inside of a mall bag." When Mrs. Tobin started down town the next morning, like a dutiful wife who feels a little pity for her hus­ band's shortcomings, the letter was reposing safely In her handbag. On the car she met a neighbor-who told her of some wonderful bargains she bad found the previous ‘day at Roas A Co.’s. “Ob. yes; they are sure-enough bar­ gains. What do you think of real stlk hose for 51.97. when that kind never sells for less than 12.00? They are beauties; I bought three pairs. And as for lisle thread ones, why, you can get them os cheap as cotton. Everything Is marked way down; the floor walker said ao." . , "Then 1 must go there,” answered Mau Tolan. "I do need so many talngf just now." So to the store she went, and spent the morning in that most fascinating occupation—bargain bunting. At noon she went to a near-by restaurant for lunch, and from there to the Thurt day Literary club, with several mem hers whom she met. All thought of the letter had passed from her mind. The absorbing club questions were of more vital Interest, and not again did it occur to her udlil she was On the car homeward bound. When she opened her handbag to get a car ticket, the delayed letter stared her In the face. "Heavens!" she ejaculated under her breath; "what will Albert say?" "I am sorry I can not go." she heard a gentleman near her say to another, "but I shall have to return to my of­ fice to-night. I have some business which I can not postpone." An Idea flashed through her brain. Turning to the speaker, she said: "Pardon me, Mr. Clark; 1 heard yon say you were going back down town to-night.

That'* disposed of. I hope she -will get It promptly. Now I will arrange that room." “Hello, Jerome! Come with me to the club. I want to talk with you about the new Radium Company." Tolan grasped Jerome’s arm as he swung around the corner; and with­ out waiting for a reply the two men hurried along, talking earnestly of the prospects of success in getting capi­ tal to push their new scheme for the domestic use of radium. For an hour they talked with knitting brows and anxious (aces. Then Jerome arose. “1 am going to New York to see about some business, «and while there I will call on Manson. I am sure he will join us, and that will mean clear sailing for us.” ’ "Yes; his money is worth much to us, but his name is worth more. When do you go?” “In half an hour, if anything new arises, address me here." He pulled a card from his pocket; with it came a letter. His face fell. “By Jove! My wife asked me to post this. I'll* not have the time now. Old man, attend to it for mo, will you?” "Sure." They parted. Jerome boarded a passing car . for his trMn, and Tolan walked in the opposite direction.

Flinging aside his coat, he worked hard for three hours; then hastily donning it again, he made a rush for the last car home. As he relt for a nickel for the con­ ductor, his fingers closed on the fatal letter. He puzzled on the way home what to do with it, and a bright idea occurred. As he left the car, he turned to the conductor and handed him the letter with a cigar. “You are • going back to town,” he said. “Will you kindly drop this In the postofilce as you pass? It is important and should leave the * city to-night.” The conductor good-naturedly cepted the mission, and taking the white envelope gingerly between his crevice dirty fingers, slipped it In of the car window, so its presence would remind him when he came to the postoffice. But a merry, crowd, returning from an evening party, boarded the car for the return trip to the city, and in tbe bustle and gpod-natured confusion, the conductor forgot all about the ill-fatod letter. The letter remained in the crack above the window until the next even­ ing. when the jolting of the car shook It into the lap of Mr. Simpson, who looked at it in wonderment. He puz­ zled his brain as to how he became possessed of it, and seeing it was stamped and addressed, he deter­ mined to slip it in the post-box outside the door when he cams home. Nine days later, Mrs. Jerome went to spend a social afternoon with her friend. Mrs. Simpson. The two ladles were upstairs In Mrs. Simpson's sit­ ting room, and she was brushing anti sponging her husband's coat. Giving it a vigorous shake, a letter fell out on the floor.

A certain married man in this town was made to feel just a little cheap last Saturday night when he was caught tn the act of eating supper with an­ other man’s wife. It appears that this gentleman sent his wife and daughter up north visiting and there was no suspicion whatever aroused until a certain lady walked in the house Saturday evening and was very much surprised to find her brother eating supper with a lady who is some taller than his wife. We are sorry to learn that Nashville has any such men, but. when they are caught they have to dlead guilty. We have not mentioned any names but if you are a good guesaer, just guess.

We are willing to it/ist . them,- if necessary,' for their tZ»pvr. but when it comes, to putting a/one-cent stamp one each one, we really draw the line, not alone because it costs us 52 cents a year to do it. but because it also makes u lot of extra work in mailing the paper. We are living up to the law as laid down by Uncle Sam and his postofilce department. Some of our exchanges are not doing it, but they are takjng long chances of get­ ting into trouble, and we don’t feel that we can afford to take the chances. A movement is on foot among the farmers and business men in this vicinity to organize a windstorm in­ surance company. A meeting is to be. held Friday evening to approve charter and by-laws and to organize the company and gel' it under way. The parties who are back of the move­ ment have received a great deal of en­ couragement from the people in this part of the county atod in Eaton county as well as in other portions of the state, and it is safe to say that inside of a very short time there will be an energetic and prosperous wind­ storm insurance company doing busi­ ness in Michigan, with headquarters in Nashville. Five young farmers who live near Shultz have decided that to be forced to pay $3 7b apiece for wedding cigars that can be bought at any store, two for a nickle, is worse than investing in any gold brick that was ever offered for sale. * Yet that is what Elmer Terpenning, William Smith, Frank Smith. Heniy Zerbel and Jimmie Hines, paid in tine money to Justice Bishop for pulling off a big charivari on the occasion of the wedding of John Bliss’ step-daughter, Miss Cecil 13 razee and Glenn Kellogg of Syracuse Indiana. A ‘crowd, expecting that the happy groom would hand out the smokes as it customary in this part of the country, gathered at the railroad station to await the arrival of the bridal couple. Because the groom did not know any of them, no treats were forthcoming. After everyone in the Bliss home had retired, for the night, there burst out in front of the bridal chamber a bedlam of cow bells ar.d tin pans, interspersed with re­ volver shots and volleys from shot guns with such vocal accompaniment as the talent of the various serenaders would permit. In order to stop the noise the inmates of the bouse handed out the cigars. On the following day John Bliss had warrants issued for some of^the serenaders. In court Al­ bert Roush and Carl McDonald prov­ ed that they weren’t id the party and were discharged. The others paid', including Jimmy Hines, ex-South Michigan league player and third baseman for the Hastings team.

Miss Leslie," answered Blake, sharply yet not unkindly; “sup­ pose you Just sit back and use your thinker a bit If you’re your daddy's daughter, you've got brains some­ , where down under tbe boarding-school atuff.” “What do you mean, sir?" “No*, don’t get huffy, please!

"I say, why couldn’t we chance it for the night around on the seaward face of the cliff?" asked Winthrope. “I noticed a place where the ledges overhang—almost a cave. Do you think It prouable that any wild beast would venture so close to the sea?" “Can't say. Didn't see any tracks; so we’ll chance It for to-night. Next?” "By morning I believe my ankle will be in such shape that I could go back for the string of cocoanuts which we dropped on the beach." ”1'11 go myself, today, else we’ll have no . supper. Now we're getting down to bedrock. If those nuts have not been washed away by the tide, we’re fixed for to-night; and for two meals, such as they are. But what next?

HILE Blake made a success­ ful trip for the abandoned cocoan uta, bis companions leveled the stones beneath the'ledges chosen by Winthrqpe, and gathered enough dried sea-weed along tbe talus to soften the hard beds. Soothed by the monotonous wash of tfce sea among the rocks, even Miss Leslie' slept well. Blake, who had in­ sisted that she should retalh his coat, was wakened by the chilliness pre­ ceding the dawn. Five minutes later they started on their journey. The starlight -glimmered on the waves and shed a faint radiance over the rocks. This and their knowledge of the way enabled them to pick a path along the foot of the cliff without difficulty. Once on . the beach, they swung along at a smart gait, invigor­ ated by the cool air. Dawn found them half way to their goal. Blake called a halt when thefirst red streaks shot up ths eastern sky. All stood waiting until the quick­ ly foltowing sun sprang forth from the sea. Blake’s first act was to glance from one headland to the other, esti­ mating their relative distances. His grunt of satisfaction was lost in Win­ thrope’* exclamation: "By Jove, look at the cattle!” Blake and Miss Leslie turned to stare at the droves of animals mov­ ing about between them and the bor­ der of the tail grass. Miss Leslie was the first to speak. “They can’t be cattle, Mr. Winthrope. There are some with stripes. I do believe they’re zebras’." "Get down!” commanded Blake. 'They're all wild game. Those big ox­ like fel owe to the left of the zebras are eland. Whee! wouldn’t we be in it if we owned that water hole? I'll bet I’d have' one of those fat beeves Inside three days." “How I should enjoy a juicy Eteak !’* murmured Miss Leslie. "Raw or Jerked?" questioned Blake. "What is ■jerked ’ ----' “Dried.” “Oh, no; I mean broiled—just red inside." “I prefer mine quite rare," added Winthrope. "That's the way you’ll get It, damned rare—Beg your pardon. Miss Jenny! Without fire, we'll have the choice of raw or Jerked." "Horrors!" "Jerked meat is all right You cut your game in strips—” "With a penknife!" laughed Miss Leslie. Blake stared at her glumly. ’That’s sc. You’ve got It back on me—Butch­ er a beef with a penknife! We’ll have to take it raw, and dog-fashion at that” "Haven’t I heard of bamboo knives?” said Winthrope. “Bamboo?” “Ira sure I cant say. but as I re­ member, it seems to me that the var­ nish-like glaze—" “Silica? Say, that would cut'meat But where in—where in hades are the bamboos ?" “I’m sure I can’t say. Only I re­ member that I have seen them in oth­ er tropical places, you know." \ “Meantime I prefer cocoanuts, until we have a fire to broil our.steaks," re­ marked Miss Leslie. "Ditto, Miss Jenny, long's we-have the nuts and no meat. Pm a vegetari­ an now—but maybe my mouth ain't watering for something else. Look at all those chops and roasts and stews running around out there!” "They are making for the grass,” observed Winthrope. “Hadn’t we bet­ ter start T’ “Nuts won't weigh so much without the shells. We’ll eat right here." There were only a few nuts left They were drained and cracked and scooped out, one after another. The last chanced to break evenly across the middle. "Hello," said Blake, “tho lower part ot this will do for a bowl. Miss Jen­ ny. When you’ve eaten the cream, put It In your pocket Say, Win, have you got the bottle and keys and—” “All safe—everything." "Are you sure, Mr. Winthrope?” asked Miss Leslie. "Men's pockets seem so open.. Twice I’ve had to pick up Mr. Blake's locket.” “Locket?" echoed Blake. “The Ivory locket Women may be curious, Mr. Blake, but 1 assure you, I did not look Inside, though—" “Let me—give it here—quick!” gasped Blake. StArtled by his tone and look, Miss Leslie caught an oval shaped object from the side pocket of the coat and thrust It Into Blake's outstretched hand. For a moment he stared at it, unable to believe his eyes; then he leaped up. with a yell that sent the droves of zebras and antelope flying into the tall grass. "Ob! oh!" screamed Miss Leslie. "Bitten? Yes, by John Barleycorn I” "Is It a snake? Are you bitten?" give you my word, you’ll not have to "Blttefi?—Yes, by John Barleycorn!

When the relief train from this city reached the wreck the scene was ter­ rible. As the bodies were, taken from the ruins they were laid side by side on a bier of snow, amid the agonizing shrieks of husband, wife, child and parent as they searched among the dead for their loved ones, many of whom were mangled beyond all recog­ nition. A pathetic feature of the accident was the killing of a father, leaving two small, helpless children, the eldest be­ ing four years old, the youngest two. The elder boy told a nurse at the sanitarium that- his father called him Bennie, and this Is all he will say. From a fellow passenger It was learned that lhe family was en route to Grand Junction to visit relatives. It Is supposed that Mr. and Mrs. Kettle, whose names appear among the dead, were tbe parents of these two little ones, who are badly Injured. Another sad case was the destruc­ tion of an entire family with the ex­ ception of an Infant of three months.

We want a letter from every man and woman in America afflicted with Rheumatism, Lumbago or Neuralgia, giving us theirname and address, so we can send each one a trial tuatment of our Rheumatic Remedy . We want to convince every rheumatic sufferer at our expense that our Rheumatic Remedy does what thousands of,so-called remedies have tailed to accomplish—actually cures Rheumatism. You cannot coax Rheumatism out through the feet or skin with plasters or cunning metal contrivances You cannot tease it oufwith liniments, electricity or magnetism. You cannot imagine it out with mental science. You must drive it out. It Is in the blood and you must go aflezitand get it. This is just what Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy does and that is why iv-cures Rheumatism. Rheumatism is Urie Acid, and Uric Acid and Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy cannot live together In the same blood. The cheumatism has to go and it does go. Our treatment cures the sharp, shooting J' Bins, the dull, aching muscles, the hot, throbbing, swollen imbs, and cramped, stiffened, useless joints, and com them quickly.

DON'T FAIL TO SEE US BE FOR E DECIDING. VON W. FURNISS NUMBER 23 there, inasmuch as the living for fac­ tory employes in Nashville is cheaper than in Grand Rapids. The Thornapple Company has spared no expense to put its plant in thorough repair, and to make the service as reasonably steady and sure in its operation as possible. Undoubtedly there will be those who.will complain against the new rates, for some causes or other, but anyone who is inclined to do so should bear in mind the com-' fiaribon made above, and should not ose sight of the fact that he Is enjoy­ ing lower rates than are given m most towns, whether in the East.or in the West. Considering the enormous expense the company has been put to in the installation of an additional water wheel; rebuilding the dam, re­ newing and extending Its distributing lines, maintaining its steam plant in reserve, etc., no customer should feel that the company is doing anything but making an earnest effort, regard less of expanse, to give satisfactory service at extremely low prices.

Miss Jenny." ■ As he spoke, Blake kicked aside some smouldering branches and led the way to the crevice whence the spring trickled from the rock into a shallow stone basin. When all ha<t drunk their fill of the clear cool water Blake took up bli club and walked straight across to the baobab. Less than 30 step* brought him to the nar­ row opening In the trunk of the huge tree. At first he could make out noth­ ing In the dimly lit interior; but the One Moment After Another Pawed, and He Stood Poised for the Shock. fetid, catty odor was enough to con­ vince him that he had found the leopards' den. He .caught the vague outline* of a long body, crouched five or six yards away.'on the far side of the hollow. He sprang bock, his club brandished to strike. But the expected attack did not follow. Blake glanced about as though considering the advisability of a retreat. Wlnthrope and Miss Leslie were staring at him, white-faced. The sight of their terror seemed to spur him to dare-devil bravado; though hl* action* may rather have been due to the fact that he realized the futility of flight, and so rose to the requirement* of the situation—the grim need to stand and face the danger. “Get behind the bamboo*!” he sailed, and a* they hurriedly obeyed, he caught up a atone and flung it in al the crouching beast He heard the missile strike with a soft thud that told him he had not missed hl* mark, and he swung up hla club in both hands.

One moment after an­ other passed, and he stood poised for the shock, tense and scowling Not so much as a snarl came from within. The truth flashed upon him “Smothered!” he yelled. The other saw him dart in through the hole. A moment later two'Ump grayish bodies were flung out into the open. Immediately after Blake reap­ peared, dragging th* body of the moth er leopard. ■ “It’s all right; they're dead!" cried Wlnthrope, and he ran forward to look.at the bodies.

In Scott’s Emulsion the oil is emulsified and made easy to take—easy to digest and easy to be absorbed in to the body—and is the most natural arid useful fatty food to feed and nourish the wasted body that is known in medicine today. Nothing can be found to take its place. If you are run-down you should take it SCOTT & BOWNE. 409 Pearl St-New York '- Thomas Sullivan spent Sunday, Monday and Tuesday in Grand Rap1 ids with friends. Many of his friends | here were a little nervous at his dis­ appearance, thinking possibly he had gone to Oklahoma in the' prairie schooners to assist his friend, Walter Eaton. 'The ice harvest has ceased for the present time. Mr. Hicks, Rogers & Son have succeeded- in getting up quite a lot of ice but would have been glad if they could have had ^mother week of ice weather so as to have filled their houses full. Walter Harper and Margaret Stemm took a cold bath at Barber’s Lake on Wednesday evening. The boys in the crowd formed a chain and with great difficulty succeeded in rescuing them. Clarence Townsend and a boy friend of his went through the ice at Long Lake near Cloverdale on Thursday evening and also had a cold bath but finally succeeded in gettingout. William Jenning’s house on South Jefferson Street burned to the ground on Friday night. The fire department promptly responded to the call but as the bouse was outside of the fire limits their hose was of no use. All the fire­ men could do was to assist in remov­ ing a part of the contents. Mr. Jennings reached there just in time to make a dive down cellar and remove a tin can and everybody wondered why he was so brave as to risk his life to spve an old can, but finally he disclosed the contents and a roll of bills fell out amounting to 3100.00. MissKate Johnson spent a large part of last week in Grand Rapids. Quite a large number from our city went to Oklahoma, leaving here on the 9:41ftrain Saturday evening. It is reported that most of them went on a business trip at the expense of Uncle Sam. Frank Sylvester is very sick at his residence on West Green street. It seems tobe some kind of kidney trouble. We hope that Frank will soon be able to be on the streets. Sheriff Ritchie's boarding house seems to be patronized quite liberally of late. It must be that Harry is putting up pretty good board or the hoboes would not center there. Herman Sharphorn and family have moved into their new house on Young street and Register of Deeds Backus and family have moved into the house vacated by Mr. Sharphorn. A new delivery system has been in­ stalled by our Merchants. PRESIDENT HELPS ORPHANS.

At a special meeting of tbe village council last week, a contract was en­ tered into with Messrs. Ferris & Mer­ riam, proprietors of our meat market, to maintain a slaughter house within the village limits. This will make it very convenient for them. D. A. Miller is entertaining his brother, Wesley, of Wexford county, who is returning from taking a ship­ ment of cattle to Detroit. Tne broth­ ers have not met in a number of years. Mary A. Ennis of Traverse City is visiting at tbe home of Mrs. Elizabeth Corsett.

Garberson, presiding elder, of the U. B. church, conducted quarterly conference at the church Sunday.

The many friends of George Wun­ derlich will be pleated to learn that he has concluded to go in business. near his old home instead of taking chances in Cuba. George is now engaged in the mercantile business at Coats Grove. C. L. Fisher has resigned his posi­ tion at the asvlum and commenced work for F. F.'Gilbert in the telephone service. Mr. Marcus Corsett, an old resident of South Woodland, died last week after suffering for several years from a complication of diseases. Mr. Cor­ sett was a soldier in the Civil war and has been in poor health for a good many years. Make hay when the sun shines: make ice when it does not- The Indi­ cator gave a warning sometime ago that when the ice was of sufficient thickness it should be gathered, but the old story, “there is time enough,’’ won out and now behold the result. • C. S. Palmerton, while at the state asylum in Ionia Thursday, had a long visit with Walter Sackett, whom our readers will remember was sent there last year tor shooting his wife while in an insane rage. Mr. Sackett feels his position deeply but thinks he will recover sufficient to permit his leaving the institution in the future. On Friday some of the high school boys started a small riot which was quickly suppressed by the principal. As a result, the offending pupil was quickly dismissed by the school board. There has been an inclination all win­ ter by some of our foreign students to run tne school. We hope our school board will take action that will be a warning hereafter to all scholars who have an idea that they are the whole thing. There are some people who purchase a number eight hat to fit a number six bead and then trust to expansion to makeup the deficiency. When conditions again become normal they have room to let. A. T.

KEEP NOME INTACT Vessels Called To Rescue ol Declare This Best ASHORE MEETS IN THE WHITE HOUSE Steamer Republic, Rammed by the Florida, Goes to Bottom—Thrilling Sea Drama Results In Loss of Only Many Topics Relating to the Care of Dependent Children Are Discussed at the Gathering Called Together by President Roosevelt. PASSENGERS TAKEN New York. Jan. 25 —The White SUr steamer Republic, bound for the Med­ iterranean. was cut down tn a dense * fog before dawn Saturday morning by tbe west bound steamer Florida of the Lloyd Italiano line. Sixty-five miles from shore, tbe stricken steamer flashed electrical calls for help to land and sea within -a radius of 150 miles. From ocean and from harbor tbe answers came, and •very transatlantic, racer within Mar­ coni hearing, government vessels in harbor and lugs from bordering cities sped to the work of salvation. Late Saturday night the White Star liner Baltic brought to this port the 1,100 and'taore passengers of both the steamers. In the collision two pass­ . engera on the Republic were killed and two Injured, and four persons were killed on the Florida Al| the rest were landed in safety. Republic Sinks; Crew Saved. A few hours earlier, at 8:30 o’clock Sunday night, the climax of this thrilling drama of^tbe sea came when the Republic went. to the bottom • south of Martha's Vineyard she was being towed toward land by tbe United States revenue cutter Gresham. This, too, was told by wireless. The gallant work of a boat's crew from the Gresham In taking off Capt. Seal by and a detail of the crew of the Republic who remained on board that vessel almost to the very last moment that she stayed above water Is spoken of particularly in wireless dispatches received here. The Republic had been towed a short distance by the Gresham, the derelict destroyer Sene­ ca. which bad arrived at the scene late In the day. also assizing in the work of towing. Suddenly the Republic, which was already low in the water, was seen to be settling still more and rapid work on ’he part of the boat crew of the Gresham was necessary to get the Republic's crew away from the vessel. Seven Liners in the Drama. No less than seven ocean liners—the ’ Baltic, New York. Furnessla, La !x»rralne and Lucania and the two crip­ pled ships, Florida and Republic—fig­ ured In the stirring story. The 442 passengers and some members of the . crew of the Republic underwent two transfers on the open sea. first to the crippled Florida on Saturday morning and again early Sunday to the more commodious Baltic which brought also the 900 passengers from the disabled Florida. With the great human cargo of res­ cued persons, besides her own Hat of 930 passengers, the Baltic arrived off Sandy Hook about 11 o'clock Sunday night. The Florida, her bow rent from the terrific Impact with the Republic, slowly steered under her own sieam for this port, convoyed by the Ameri­ can liner New York. Six Persons Are Killed. I Until an early hour Sunday It was believed the crashing together of the two big ships off fog-bound Nantucket Saturday morning bad not resulted lu death or Injury to a single passenger or member of the crews. Shortly after midnight, however, the wireless tele­ graph. that mysterious force which had apprised the world of the Repub­ lic’s distress and quickly brought other ships to her aid, flashed the news that two passengers on the Republic had been killed and two ethers injured. Late in the day another wllreless mes­ sage told of four deaths on board the hiorida, either of members of the crew or steerage passengers. The identity of these was not made clear. The message from CapL Ransom of the Baltic to the White Star Company in this city gave the names of the dead passengers as Mrs. Eugene Lynch of . Boston and W. J. Mooney .a banker of Langdon. N. D. The injured are Mrs. M. M. Murphy, wife of the financial agent of the Union Central Life Insur­ ance Company of Grand Forks, N. D., and Eugene Lynch of Boston. Heroes of Republic Landed. New York, Jan. 26.—At nine o'clock last night the derelict destroyer Sen­ eca, aboard of which were Capt. Sealby and hiq volunteer crew, who stood by the Republic till she sank, arrived in the harbor. With Capt. Sealby were Second Mate Williams, who refused to leave hl« captain when the latter ordered the volunteer crew to the cutter Gresham, and "Jack” Binns, the Re­ public’s wireless operator, who stayed heroically at his post when the col­ lision came and summoned aid from far and near through bls electrical sig­ nals sent Into the air. At her dock In Brooklyn was the battered Florida, aboard which her crew had remained throughout her trying experiences. Explosion Wrecks a Hotel. Columbus, Neb., Jan. 26.—An explo­ sion of gas in tbe basement of the Thurston hotel last evening badly wrecked ths building and seriously In­ jured J. L.

Washington, Jan. ii.—The impor­ tance of the preservation of the home iutact was the central theme around which tbe discussion revolved at. the conference on the Care <ff Dependent Children, which formally was opened by President Roosevelt at the White House late yesterday. The subject under consideration was "should the breaking of a home be permitted for reasons of poverty, or only for reasons ot inefficiency or immorality?” It was the unanlmoris opinion of an array of notable charity workers and others who -took part In tbe discus­ sion that the child can best be reared under the Influence of tbe home and that they should be removed from the family circle only when proper super­ vision at home has become impos­ sible. It also was the consensus of opinion that where poverty exists in tbe home, state aid should be given.

Customers in this and other towns served by the Thornapple Company have recently complained somewhat n» a resultol the installation of electric meters for customers to measure tbe exact amount of current consumed. In many instances, the old rates were Ott a fiat rate basis, entirely too low for the company to even meet expen­ ses therefrom. The flat rate basis is, as a rule, unfair to the company; in that it allows tbe customer to burn current at any and all times, and the customer, as a rule, has no particular care in shutting off the current and sav­ ing it for,the company. The old ar­ rangement really meant that many customers were getting something for nothing, in that they aid not pay the company a fair amount for tne cur­ rent actually consumed; and certain­ ly no honest man in this town, or any other, cares to be considered as de­ sirous of getting something be does not pay for. As shown above, the rates are ex­ ceedingly low, and every customer ought to be willing to pay for what his meter shows he has actually used during the month, if he wishes to cut down his light bills, be should be careful in turning off his lights when they are not actually needed: and he can even go further—be can reduce his bills by installing tbe Tungsten lamp, which use* about a third as much currefit as tbe ordinary carbon filament lamp. Tbe initial cost of the Tungsten lamp, however, is’ so high that no electric Ii"ht company can afford to furnish it free. The Thomapple Company is more gener­ ous in this regard than most compan­ ies, inasmuch as it allows on the cost of the Tungsten lamp a credit for the return of a burned out Tungsten or carbon filament lamp. Even though a customer's bills may be higher on the meter basis than they were on some previous basis, no cus­ tomer has a right to thereby conclude that he is being overcharged, for It was a notorious fact that tne service previously rendered by the Thornap­ ple Company was poor, and that there was great criticism-of the dimness of the lights and the irregularity of the current. Under present conditions, if the company is giving good service, as .it would appear, and the rates are reasonable or low, the customer should be willing to pay his bill with­ out constantly trying to make trouble for tbe company. . • Any man can go to the grocery store and buy poor or partly rotten apples, for a very low price, this price probably giving the grocer little or no honest profit to-enable him to success­ fully carry on bis business. Most men, however, would prefer to go to the grocery store and pay a fair price for a reasonably good apple, giving tbe gre-ser a fair profit, and getting for himself something that is usable, and something the quality of which be cannot kick about.

The county fanners’ and teachers’ institute .for Castleton township was held Monday at the Baptist church In Nashville. The morning session was called to order by Vice President H. A. Offley, who introduced E. M. Moores of Orchard Lake, the first speaker on the program, who had for his subject, “Getting the Most from the Corn Crop.” Eus talk embodied the principle of selecting and testing the seed corn, and the general cul­ ture of the corn crop. He was fol­ lowed by J. F. Edmonds of Hastings, who talked on “Harvesting and Feed­ ing the Corn Crop." His talk was very well received. After discussion, the meeting was adjourned for dinner.

The meeting was called to order by County Chairman A. G Hathaway. The first talk was by Mr. Moores, on the subject, “Making the Farm Better.” His talk was aiong the gen­ eral lines of the improvement oithe fertility of the soil by returning to it the natural fertilizer .without waste. After a general discussion, the chairman introduced Dr. J. J. Law of this village, who had for his subject “The CAre of the Horse's Foot.” The doctor gave a careful explana­ tion of the construction of the foot and its ailments and how to prevent blemishes. On account of the lateness of the hour, Mr. Moores' talk on “Forage Crops” was omitted, and after music by the school, Prof. Chas. O. Hoyt of Ypsilanti was introduced and spoke on “Our Schools.” In a very pleas­ ing and convincing manner he told of the needs for better equipment and better teachers, and intimated that we should also have better-looking teachers, but we know he could not have been referring at that time to the local schools. < Valentines outside toms. and our work is always satisfactory, but we regret to say that many Nashville merchants think they can do better away from home, and give their calendar orders to outside parties without even doing us the courtesy of looking over our line.

EVENING. Alleging that he has not paid a promissory note for 8350 within two years as he agreed to do in 1905, Hel­ en Matteson, of Bellevue, through her counsel, E. N. Peters, of Charlotte, has brought suit in the circuit court,of this county, to recover 8500 from Levi Kenyon, the aged divine healer, who of late has figured frequently in court. He has twice been disproves of being insane; was sued for 83,000 by a wo­ man who charged him with defrauding her. and was arrested recently for al­ leged larceny of coal. Kenyon, while living at Ceylon, six miles south of Nashville, dug holes all over ids farm, astonishing his neigh­ bors by asserting that by digging he got in communication with an Indian chief under the control of whose spirit he professed to be. He also held con­ versation With unseen persons in a strange tongue alleged to "be Indian. His neighbors reported him to the authorities. The healer was jailed, and while in the cage danced and shouted in the In­ dian tongue, disturbing the residents in the vicinity. He also got into dif­ ficulty with hoboes in the jail whom he tried to cure. While being exam­ ined before a probate court jury his aged wife stated on the stand that he had often cured her headaches by rub­ bing her head with a spade. Kenyon explained the significance of the holes he had dug on his farm. The jury, composed of 12 Hastings business men, declared him sane. This so delighted Kenyon he decid­ ed to live in Hastings. Several months ago he was sued by Mrs. Wat­ rous. of Battle Creek, who declared he had defrauded her of between 83,000 and 84.000. He defended himself suc­ cessfully in the circuit court, and tin* woman appealed to the supremevourt. Kenyon paid no attention to the case after it was.taken there, and he would have lost most of his property by default bad not Attorneys Dean and Fox, of Charlotte, explained the reason to the court, which gave until February 20th to file a brief. Kenyon was formerly postmaster at Ceylon, but the office was discontinued several years ago. The evening session was given over entirely to the school interests, and opened with music by the high school quartette. The meeting was then placed in the hands of County Com­ missioner E. J. Edger, who. after a short talk, introduced E. M. Moores, who spoke on the subject, “The Rural Schools.'.' His talk was on the needs o/ a l>etter school system, and he likened himself to ••John, the Bap­ tist", blazing a trail in the wilderness for others to follow. His talk was very interesting and was enjoyed by all. Prof. Hoyt was the next on the pro­ gram, with the subject, “Does it Pay to Educate?” Mr. Hoyt gave some of the figures of the. U. 8. government, showing the difference between the wages of the average college grad­ uate and the average common labor­ er, the difference in outlay being 81,600. and the difference in earning capacity for a natural life time of 835,000.’ The institute was a success in every­ way except in attendance, and we think it a lamentable fact that there FRANK HELM DEAD, are not more of the farmers of the dll be sad news to his many vicinity who see the advantage of at­ friends in Nashville to learn that tending these institutes.

At sunset, following the en­ gineer's advice, Winthrope lay down with his feet to the small watch-fire, and was asleep before twilight had' deepened into night Fagged out by the mental and bodly stress of the day. he slept so soundly that it seamed to him be hardly lost ooneclousneas when he was roused by a rough hand on his forehead. “What is it?” he mumbled.

"Um-m," grunted Blake, who was al­ ready on his back. Winthrope rubbed his eyes, rose wearily, and drew a biasing stick from the fire. With this upraised as a torch he peered around into the darkne^ts and advanced towards the spring. When, having satisfied his thirst, be returned somewhat hurriedly to the fire, he was startled by the sight of a pale face gazing at him from between the leaves of the bamboo screen. “My dear Miss Genevieve, wbat Is the matter?" he exclaimed. “Hush!

When he returned he noticed two bamboo rods which Blake had begun to s.'fape into bow staves. He looked them over, with a sneer at Blake's seemingly.unskillful workman­ ship; but he made no attempt to finish th* bows. CHAPTER XI. A Despoiled Wardrobe. OON after sunrise Miss Leslie was awakened by the snap and duli crash of a falling tree. She made a hasty toilet and ran out around the baobab. The burned tree, eaten half through by tbe fire, had been pushed over against the cliff by Blake and Winthrope. Both had already climbed up and now stood on the edge of the cliff. “Hello. Miss Jenny!” shouted Blake. "We've got here at lost. Want to come up?” “Not now, thank you." “It’s easy enough. But you're right Try your band again at the cutlets, won’t you? While they’re frying we’ll get some eggs for dessert. How does that strike you?" “We have no way to cook them." “Roast ’em in the ashes. So long!" Miss Leslie cooked breakfast over the watchfire, for the other had been scattered and stamped out by the men ■when the tree fell. They came back In good time, walking carefully, that they might not break the eggs with which their pockets bulged. Between them, they had brought a round dozen and a half. Blake promptly began stowing all in the hot ashes, while Winthrope related tiieir little adven­ ture with unwonted enthusiasm. "You should have come with us. Miss Genevieve,” he began. "This time of day it is glorious on tbe cliff top. Though the rock is bare, there Is a fine i “Fine view of grub near the end,” Interpolated Blake "As, yes: the birds —you must take a look at them. Miss Genevieve! The sea end of the cliff is alive with them —hundreds and thousands, all hud­ dled together and fighting for room. They are a sight, I assure you! They're plucky, too. It was well we took sticks with us. As it was, one of the gannets—boobies, Blake calls them— caught me a nasty nip when I went to lift her off the nest.” “Best way is to kick them off,” ex­ plained Blake. “But the point is that we've hopped over the starvation stile. Understand? The whole blessed cliff end is an omelette waiting for our pan. Pass the leopardettes, Miss Jejtny.” When the last bit of meat had disap­ peared, Blake raked the eggs from the ashes and began to crack them, sol­ emnly sniffing at each before he laid it on its leaf platter. Some were a trifle "high.” None, however, were thrown away. When it was all over, Winthrope contemplated the scattered shells with a sa’isfled air. "Do you know,” he remarked, “this is the first time I’ve felt—er—re­ plenished since we found those cocoa­ nuts " “How about one of ’em now to top off ou?“ questioned Blake. “If only those little bamboo sprouts were as good aa they look—like .a kind of asparagus!” murmured Miss Leslie. ‘Tve heard that the Chinese eat them,” said Winthrop*. “They eat rats, too,” commented Blake. “We might at least try slated Miss Leslie. “How* Raw?" “I have heard papa tell corn when he was a boy.” “That’s so; and roos ting-ears are better than boiled. Win, I guess we'll have a sample of bamboo asparagus a la Les-lee!" Winthrope took the penknife and fetched a handful of young sprouts from the bamboo thicket They were heated over the coals on a grill of green branches and devoured half ‘Say," mumbled Blake, as he rum>ted on the last shoot, “we're getting on some for this smell hole of a coast house, and chicken ranch and vege­ tables in our front yard. We've got old Bobble Crusoe beat, bands down, on the start-off, and he with his shipful of stuff for handicap!" “Then you believe that the situation looks more .hopeful, Mr. Blake?” "Well, we’ve at least got an exten­ sion on our note for a week or two. But I’m not going to coddle you with a lot of lies, Miss Jenny. There’s the Tever coming, sure as fate. I may stave it off a while; you and Win, ten to one, will be down in a few days— and not a smell of quinine in our commissary. Then there’ll be dysen­ tery and snakes and wild beasts— No; we’re not out of the woods yet, not by a—considerable." "By Jove, Blake," muttered Win­ thrope. “I must say. you’re not very encouraging.” "Didn't say I was trying to be.” “But, Mr. Blake, I am sure papa will offer a large reward when the steam­ er Is reported as loot.

"I fancy it would do no harm to erect a signal," said Winthrope. "Only thing that would make a show is Miss Leslie's skirt," replied Blake. "There is the big leopard skin,” per­ sisted Winthrope. To bis surprise the engineer took the suggestion under serious consideration. "Well, I don't know,” he said. "If we had a water background, now. But againxt the rocks and trees—no; what we want Is white. I'll tell you—when Miss Jenny sets to arid makes herself a dress of that skin, 1’11 fly her skirt to the zephyrs.” "Mr. Blake! 1 really think that is cruel of you!" "Oh, come now; that's not fair!

For needle you can use one of these long, slim thorns—poke a hole, and then slip the thread through, like a shoemaker.” "Ah, yes; but th* thread?" put in Winthrope. "The cocoanut fiber would hardly do.” said Miss Leslie, forgetting to dry her eyes. "No. We could get fairly good fi­ bers out of the palm leaves: but cat­ gut will be a whole lot better. 1'11 slit up a lot for you. fine enough to sew with. And now, let's get down to tacks.

Survival of the Fittest. .IE next four days slipped by almost unheeded. Blake saw to it that not only himself but his companions bad work to occupy every hour of day­ light. When not engaged In cooking and fuel - gathering. Miss Leslie was learning by painful experience the ru­ diments of dressmaking. At the start she had all but ruined the beautiful skin of the mother leopard before Blake chanced to see her and took over the task of cutting it into shape for a skirt. But when It came to making a waist of the cub fur. he said that she would have to puzzle out the pattern from her other one. Between cooking three meals a 4ky over, in open fire, gathering sev­ eral armfuls of wood, and making a dress with penknife, thorn, and cat­ gut. the girl had little time to think of other matters than her work. Winthrope had been grzetted as hunter in ordinary. His task waa to keep Miss Leslie supplied with fresh eggs and each day to kill as many of the boobies and cormorants as he could skin and split for drying. Blake had changed his mind about taking him when he went for cocoanuts. In­ stead. he had gone alone on several trips, bringing three or four loads of nuts, then a little salt from the sea­ shore, dirty but very welcome, and last of all a great lump of clay, wrapped in palm fronds. With this clay he at once began ex­ periments in the art of pottery. Hav­ ing mixed and beaten a small quan­ tity. he molded it Into little cups and bowls, and tried burning them over night in the wa'tch-fire. A few came out without crack or flaw. Vastly elated by this success, he fashioned larger vessels from his clay, and with­ in the week could brag of two pots suitable for cooking stews, and four large nondescript pieces which he called plates. What was more, al) had a fairly good sand glaze, for he had been qtilck |o observe a glaze on the bottoms of the flpit pots, and had reasoned out that It was due to tbe sand which had adhered while they stood drying In the sun. He next turned his attention to met­ allurgy. The first move was to search the river bank for the brown bog iron ore which he believed he had seen from the farther side. After a dangerous and exhausting day’s work in the mire and jungle, he came back with nothing more to show for his pains than an armful of creepers. Late in the afternoon, he had located the haematite, only to find it lying in a streak so thin that he could not hope to collect enough for practical pur­ poses. "Lucky we've got something to fall back on." he added, after telling of his failure. “Pass over those keys of youn, Win. Good! Now untangle those creepers. To-night we’ll take turns knotting them up into some sort of a rope-ladder. I’m getting mighty weary of hoofing it all around tbe point every time I trot to the riv­ er. After this I’ll go down the cliff at that end of the gully.” Winthrope. who had become verv ' To cover this undiplomatic rude­ ness. Miss Leslie spoke somewhat hur­ riedly. “But why should you return you are risking the fever; and there must be savage beasts in the jungle.” “Thats my business,” growled Blake. He paused a-moment, and added, rath­ er less ungraciously: "Well, if you on looking for ore. Give me a little iron ore. and we’ll mighty soon have 1 lot of steel knives and arrow-heads that'll amount to something. How’re we going to bag anything worth while with bamboo tips on our arrows? Those boar tusks are a fizzle.” “So- you will continue to risk your Mfe for us? I think that is very brav* and generous, Mr. Blake!” “How’s that?” demanded Blake, not a little puzzled. He was fully con­ scious of the risk; but this was the first intimation he had received or conceived that his motives were oth­ er than selfish—"Um-m! Bo that's th* ticket Getting generous, eh?" “Not getting—you are generous! When I think of all you have done for us! Had ft not been for you. I am sure we should have died that first day ashore." "Well, don’t blame me. I couldn't have let a dog die that way; and then, a fellow needs a Man Friday for this sort of thing. As for you, I favored with ladles' company." “Thank you. Mr. Blake. I quite ap­ preciate the compliment. But now, I must put on supper." Blake followed her graceful move­ ments with an intentnes^ which, in turn, drew Wlnthrope’s attention Jo himself. Tbe Englishman smiled tn a disagreeable manner, and resumed his work on the bows, with the took of one mentally preoccupied. After sup­ per he found occasion to spend some little time among the bamboos. When at sunset Miss Leslie with­ drew Into the baobab, Winthrope somewhat officiously Insisted upon helping her set up her screen In. the entrance. As he did so,-he took the opportunity to baud her a bamboo knife, and to draw her attention to several double-pointed bamboo stakes which he had hidden under the litter. “What is It?" she asked, troubled by bis furtive glance back at Blake. "Merely precaution, you know." he whispered. "The ground In there Is quite soft. It will be no trouble, I fancy, to put up the stakes, with their points inclined toward the entrance.” "But why—” "Not so loud, Miss Genevieve! It struck me that If any one should seek to entej- In the night, he would find these stakes deucedly unpleasant. Be careful how you handle them. As you see. the sharjier points, which are to be set uppermost, run off into a razor edge. Pat them up now. before it grows too dark. You know how nine­ pins are set—that shape. Good-night! You see, with these to guard tho en­ trance. you need not be afraid to go to sleep at once." "Thank you,” she whispered, and began to thrust the stakes into the ground as be had directed. He had not been mistaken. The vague doubts and fears whlqh she al­ ready entertaltfed would have kept her awake throughout tbe night, but tbanks to tbe sense of security af­ forded by the sword-bayonets of her silent little sentries, the girl was soon able to calm herself, and was fast asleep long before Blake wakened Winthrope. Immediately after breakfast. Blake —who had spent his watch in grind­ ing the edges from a stone and ex­ perimenting with split and bent twigs—put Winthrope's keys in the fire, and began an attempt to shape them into a knife-blikle. To heat the steel to the required temperature, he used a bamboo blowpipe, with his lungs for bellows. Winthrope turned away with an in­ different bearing; but Miss Leslie found herself compelled to stop and admire bls dexterous use of his rude tools. One after another, the keys were welded together, end to end, in a nar­ row ribbon of steel. The thinnest one, however, was not fastened to the tip until it had been used to burn a groove in the edge of a rib. selected from among the bones which Miss Leslie had thrown out of the baobab. The last key was then fastened to the others? the blade ground sharp, tem­ pered, and inserted in the groove. Finally, pieces of the keyring were fit­ ted in bands around the bone, through notches cut in the ends of the steel blade. The result was a bone-handled, bone-backed khlfe, with a narrow cut­ ting edge of fine steel. Long before it was finished Miss Leslie had been forced away‘by the requirements of her own work. In fact, Blake did not complete his task until late In the afternoon. At the end. he spent more than an hour grinding the handle Into shape. When he came to show the completed knife to Miss Leslie, he was fairly aglow with justifiable pride. • “How’s that for an Eskimo job?" he demanded. “Bunch of keys and a bone, eh?" “You are, certainly very Ingenious, Mr., Blake!” "Nixy! There's little of the Inventor In my top piece—o*ly some hustle and a good memory. I was up in Alaska, you know. Saw a sight of Eskimo work-" “Still, it is very skilfully done.” "That may be— Look out for the edge! It'd do to shave. No more bamboo splinters for me—dull when you hit a piece of bone.

The Nashville Lumber Co. “ Martin's Lightning Proof, Better than insurance Lightning Rods There Is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings be should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the bast rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who make* a cheap rod, which be himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building la struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with tbe Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 8500 In cash. The fact that the manufacturers make tbia guarantee shows that they knew that their rod is an absolute'proteotioa against fire by lightning. Now isn’t it foolish, in order to saw a few dollar* in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither tbe man who makes it nor the man who sells It has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I knew will protect them, and on* which you get a >500 each guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt �niLi Hi........ — . TBR OF BARRY AND EATON. •w TOU need to buy that suit .now that you have T Y been promising yourself all winter.

If yon are not one of our steady customers, just try us and see how well we can use you. We are agents for Black Cross tea, Spurr’s Big 4 line of Coffee, Calla Lily flour and Lily White flour. J. B.

WASHINGTON ONCE We want a letter from every man and woman in America afflicted with Rheumatism, Lumbago or Neuralgia, giving us their name and address, so we can send each one a trial tieatment of our Rheumatic , Remedy. We want to convince every rheumatic sufferer at our expense that our Rheumatic Remedy does wbat thousands of so-called remedies have failed to accomplish— actually cures Rheumatism. You cannot coax Rheumatism out through the feet or skin with plasters or cunning metal contrivances. You cannot tease it out with liniments, electricity or magnetism. You cannot imagine it out with mental science. You must dtioe it out. It is in the blood and you must go after it and get it. This is just what Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy does and that is why it cures Rheumatism. Rheumatism is Uric Acid, and Uric Acid and Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy cannot live together in the same blood. The rheu­ matism has to go and it does go. Our treatment cures the sharp, shooting pains, the dull, aching muscles, the hot, throbbing, swollen limbs, and cramped, stiffened, useless joints, and cures them quickly.

Furniss which he said she wanted a divorce in order that she might marry a man 80 years old who had considerable One of the most delightful affairs of the winter was the guest day of the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club, which was observed at the Auditorium on Friday evening of last week. The room had been transposed into a cosy Mttle theatre, with sliding curtains, and with seats for eighty, to accom­ modate the members of die club and their guests The program was opened with a piano duet by Mrs. H. 1. Munton and Miss Hazel DeRiar. .Mrs. John S. Greene sung ‘‘Castle in tiie Air,'' and responded to a hearty encore. An octette composed of Mesdames Cross,' Munton, Greene, Shilling, Townsend. Caley, Lentz and Francis delightful}- rendered “Old Kentucky Home.” ' Then came the “piece de resistance” of the evening, a charming satire, entitled “Champion of Her Sex,’’ with eight characters excellently portrayed bv as many members of the W. L. C. The playlet depicted a widow of wealth, who had gone “daffy" over the oppression of her sex and who thought she had a mission to redeem them from slavery and place them upon a higher plane of usefulness in the world. Her humiliation by her two daughters and their friends brought her to her senses and the chapter closed harmoniously. Every character was well taken, and some of the members of the cast displayed histrionic ability of a high order. The entertainment closed with a tableau Iteautifuliy emblematic of the union of the blue and the gray. After the literary program was con­ cluded, a two-course supper was served, which was complete in every detail and was as highly enjoyable as the delicious mental feast which had proceeded it The entertainment made such a de­ cided hit with those who were present that a repetition was demanded, and the ladies accordingly repeated the en­ tertainment, minus the feed and with the addition of several musical num­ bers, at the opera house, Tuesday evening, a goodly crowd turning out in spite of the inclement weather and the short time for advertising. The success of the first presentation was repeated, and the performance was highly appreciated by all who saw it. Judge Smith dismissed the case and Hanyen went to Ohio, where he is now supposed to be.

CHARTER APPROVED. E. V. Smith and Len W. Feighner were at Lansing on Thursday of last week, to consult Assistant Attorney General Chase and Insurance Com­ missioner Barry in regard to the charter of the * "Square Deal • Wind­ storm Insurance Company.” The charter was goneover very thoroughly and carefully by the gentlemen named, and it was approved by the insurance commissioner upon the . recommend­ ation of the attorney general. Mr. Barry commented very favorably up­ on the charter of the new company, saying that it was complete, thorough, and one of the best that he had ever seen. He particularly favored the method of holding the election of the company, which will give a. vote to every policy holder, no mallei in what" part of the state he lives, without the expense of attending the annual meeting. The new company will soon be in the field, ready to do business, and from the present outlook it will meet with success right from the start. NASHVILLE PYTHIANS JOURNEY TO HASTINGS. Thirty-one members of Ivy lodge, Knights of Pythias, went to Hastings Monday, where they were guests of Barry lodge, for a most cordial ses­ sion. The work of the Knight's rank was exemplified by the team from Ivy lodge, and they received many words of praise from the brothers of Barry lodge for the excellence of their work. Ivy lodge indeed has a team of which she may well be proud, although sev­ eral are new members of the team and they have hardly as yet. become ac­ customed to the work. The visiting brothers were splendidly entertained by their Hastings fraters and hope to have an opportunity before the winter is over to return the hospitality. Barry lodge will hold a special ses­ sion on the evening of February 22. al which time thirteen of its memliers will be presented with veteran’s jew­ els, indicating a continuous member­ ship in the order of - twenty-five y^ars. WOMAN’S LITERARY CLUB. The past week has been a busy one for the members of the Woman’s Literary Club. “Gentlemen’s Eve­ ning,” though stormy, was a decided success. By request of many who were un­ able to be present the program was repeated Tuesday evening at the opera house. Mrs. Leota Wheeler Kell of Grand Rapids spoke to us on Civil Service Reform Tuesday afternoon. She told of the work other clubs were doing and urged women to take an interest for the sake of good government. She A SET OF GOOD RESOLUTIONS. is a very interesting speaker.

Nobleman’s Former Wife Makes Sacrifice for Son. SEES MISCHIEF IN THE BILLS NOW Urges California to Walt on Nation for Action and Declares Japan Will Keep Agreement Concerning Immi­ gration of Her People. Ann Arbor, MIcIl, Woman, the Victim of Japanese Intrigue, Fears Efforts to Regain Rights Would Ruin Son’s Chances. Washington. Feb. 9.—Following a conference at the White House with Senator Flint, Representative Kahn and Interstate Commerce Commis­ sioner Lane of California, Secretary of State Bacon and Assistant Secretary O'Loughlin on the Japanese legislation yesterday the president sent a mes­ sage to Speaker Stanton of the Califor­ nia legislature urging that the present policy of the administration be allowed time to work its benefits without In­ terference. ' ‘ He declares that figures show that the number of Japanese In this coun­ try Is constantly lessening. It is in the meuage to Speaker Stentcn that the president admits that all the talk of trouble with Japan has not .been idle and that a grave crisis may be precipitated by the passing of the school measure. "Such a bill as this school bill ac­ complishes literally nothing whatever In the line.of the object aimed at, and gives Just and grave cause for irrita­ tion, while In addition the United States government would be obliged Immediately to take action in the fed­ eral courts to test such legislation, as we hold it to be clearly a violation of the treaty," wired the president. "On this point I refer you to the numerous decisions of the United States supreme court In regard to state laws which violate treaty obliga­ tions of tbe United States. The legis­ lation would accomplish nothing bene­ ficial and would certainly cause some mischief and might cause very grave mischief." The conference was followed by an­ other one with Secretaries Newberry and Wright The subject of the dis­ cussion was guarded by secrecy, al­ though it has been learned that orders have‘‘been sent to Admiral Swinburn directing the eight armored cruisers of the first' squadron of the Pacific fleet to proceed to their home yards on the Pacific coast for repairs after the completion of their target practice at Magdalena bay. The senate in executive session dis­ cussed the Japanese question. Inci­ dentally the discussion turned upon the reference to Senator Perkins by President Roosevelt In a telegram to Gov. Gillett. Legislature Postpones Action. Sacramento. Cal., Feb. 9.—Only five senators favored agitation of the anti­ Japanese question when the matter was called up yesterday by Senator Marc Anthony of San Francisco. The senate decided by a vote of 25 to 5 to defer until next Thursday its action upon the report of the committee on executive communications, which advises against legislation aimed at the Japanese. Ann Arbor Mich., Feb. 8.—Through fear that any efforts on her part to secure the rights of her position in Japan may injure the chances of her son from assuming his proper station In the empire of the mikado, Agnes Brewer Miyoahi Brogan, daughter-in­ law of the late commander-in-chlef of the Nipponese empire, has resigned all claims to Japanese nobility and has settled down In Ann Arbor to enjoy ; a happy married life with Edward Brogan, a humble coachman. Mrs. Brogan Is the daughter of a college professor. She married the son of Gen. Mlyoshl, commander-inchlef of the Japanese army. Then she became the center of all the Intrigue of the Japanese court. Her own ban­ ishment and that of her husband fol­ lowed their political activities. The courts of Japan took from the noble­ man his American wife. Agnes Brewer was the daughter of Dr. Brewer, a professor In the .Univer­ sity of Michigan medical department Count Comes to University. . Count Taro Mlyoshl came to th* university, and hearing the beautiful soprano voice of the professor’s I daughter, begged for an introduction. I The' father hesitated. The count’s blood was blue, but his akin was brown. • He hesitated and the Japanese won. After paying court as only Orientals can, he married the professor's daugh­ ter, though against the father’s wishes. Two children were born, both In this country. . Then Count Mlyoshl was summoned to Japan, and then began a series of court Intrigues that are almost past belief. When a Japanese child of noble birth reaches a certain age he takes a residence in his grandfather’s house. The time bad come when Koto, the girl, and Tolchi, the son. must leave the parents' home. The mother, being foreign born, could see them but rarely after that. Saddened as she was. it was at this time that the knowledge that her hus­ band had taken a Geisha girl came to her. Then, as the crowning grief came a message from her father that be was ill, and dying in America. Un­ heeding the advice of the American missionaries, who told her of court intrigues, she never dreamed of be.fore, nor the prayers of her busband, who told her of the truth of the mis­ sionaries’ advice, she came to Ann. Arbor. Japanese Ports Closed. After the father's death she found the ports of Japan closed to her and she returned to Ann Arbor. At about the time her father died her best friend In her’ foreign home—her father-in-law—passed away. Gen. Ml­ yoshl stood aiways between his Ameri­ can daughter-in-law and unhappiness so far as be could. It was expected Count Mlyoshl would, at once succeed to his father's estate and title, Shizarku. But there was. a stepmother and a stepsister with a Japanese husband, and In Japan there are three reasons why a nobleman shall be disinherited: One of them is an incurable disease. Count Mlyoshl suffered from incurably diseased eyes. The wily stepmother began her intrigues at court with the result that when Mlyoshl fought for his rights he was banished to Tolo islands, where be now lives with his Geisha girl. American Missionaries Step In. There was the step-grandson Tolchi. The child was sickly and weak. Tbe grandmother set about to have him disinherited on these grounds. But the American missionaries stepped in, with the result that the court ap-‘ pointed three physicians who gave as their opinion that the child suffered from starvation. Measures were at ofice taken to sec that the child was properly nourished and cherished. To­ day tbe lad is sturdy and, nothing unforseen happening, will come into his titles in 1912. . In the meantime Mme. Miyoshi In Ann Arbor, without funds, was obliged to take a position as child's nurse and governess. Here a year ago camo Edward Brogan as coachman in the same family and here the high born girl, once the wife of a Japanese count, the mother of the man who will In three years more rank close to the emperor of Japan, the mother who had been for a time one of the central figures in Japanese court society, met and loved the lowly Brogan. It de­ veloped yesterday that they had mar­ ried. HERO SHIES AT CAMERAS. -Jack” Binns of “C. Q. O.” Fam, Dodges the Photographers.

CORTELYOU 8ILENT ON JOB. Treasury Secretary Said to Be Chosen As Gas Company President Washington. Feb. 9.—It is well un­ derstood among prominent officials in Washington that Secretary of the Treasury Cortelyou has accepted the presidency of the Consolidated Gas Company in New York. Mr. Cortelyou has declined to either affirm or deny this statement but there does not seem to be any doubt as to its truth. It is understood that the secretary will leave Washington about March 4 for a rest of a month and possibly longer, and that upon the termination of his vacation be will go to New York and assume charge of the gas company.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED. By local applications, as they can­ not reach the diseased portion of the e.r. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin­ ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken off and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destoyed forever: nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

The special half price sale of Dr. Howard's specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia by Von Furniss means the saving of a few dollars on every family's yearly bill for medicines. Each 50 cent bottle (Mr. Furnisssells it for 25c.) contains sixty doses of a medicine that is pleasant to take and which can l>e depended upon to cure the worst case of constipation, dyspep­ sia or liver trouble. Mr. Furniss has so much faith that he says; “If Dr. Howard's specific does not cure you, come back to my store and I will re­ turn your money.” This remedy is not an ordinary medicine. It is the favorite formula of a well known physician, and has the endorsement of hundreds of physicians of eminence in their pro­ fession, who prescribe it in all cases of constipation, dyspepsia or liver trouble, knowing from experience that it will make a complete and last­ Foley’s Orino Laxative cures con­ ing cure. stipation and liver trouble and makes Sorry for the Lightkeeper. the trowels Kealthy and regular.

We want to convince every rheumatic sufferer at our expense that our Rheumatic Remedy does what thousands of so-called remedies have failed to accomplish—actually cares Rheumatism. You cannot coax Rheumatism out through the feet or skin with plasters or cunning metal contrivances. Ybu cannot tease it out with liniments, electricity or magnetism., You cannot imagine it out with mental science. You must dtive it out. It is in the blood and you must go aftet it and get it. This is just what Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy does and that is why it cures Rheum.atism. Rheumatism is Uric Acid, and Uric Acid and Hu-San Rheumatic Remedy cannot live together in the same blood.

Wlnthrope sat down: but through­ out the meal, he continued to com­ plain over trifles with the peevishness of a spoiled- child, until Miss Leslie blushed for him. Greatly to her as­ tonishment, Blake endured the nag­ ging wlftout a sign of irritation, and la the end took his bow and arrows and went off down the cleft, with no more than a quiet reminder to Wln­ thrope that he should keep near the When, shortly after dark, the en­ gineer came, groping his way back-up the gorge, he was by no means so calm. Out of six shots, he had hit one. antelope In the neck and another in the haunch; yet both animals had made off all the swifter for their wounds. The noise of his approach awakened Wlnthrope, who turned over, and be­ gan to complain In a whining falsetto. Miss Leslie, who was peering out through the bars of her screen, looked to see Blake kick the prostrate man. His frown showed only too clearly that he was in a savage temper. To her astonishment, he spoke in a soothing tone until Wlnthrope again fell asleep. Then he quietly set about erecting a canopy'of bamboos over the sleeper. Just why he should build this was a puzzle to the girl. But when she caught a glimpse of Blake’s altered expression, she drew a deep breath *>f relief, and picked her way around the edge of her bamboo stakes, to lie down without a trace of the fear which bad been haunting her. CHAPTER XIII. The Mark of the Beast. ORNING found Wlnthrope more irritable and peevish than ever. Though he had not been called on watch by Blake until long after midnight, he had soon fallen asleep at his post and permitted the'Are to die out. Shortly before dawn, Blake was roused bj* a pack of Jackals, snarling and ‘quarreling over the half-dried seafowl. To charge upon the thieves and put them to flight with a few blows of his club took but a moment. Yet daylight showed more than half the drying frames empty. Blake was staring glumly at them, with his broad back to Wlnthrope, when Miss Leslie appeared. Tbe sud­ den cessation of Winthrope’s com­ plaints brought his coppanion around on the instant The girl stood before him. clad from neck to foot in 'her leopard-skin dress. "Well, I’ll be—dashed!” be claimed, and he stood staring at her open-mouthed. "I fear It will be warm. Do .you think It becoming?^ she asked, flush­ ing, and turning as though to show the fit of the costume. "Do IT’ he echoed. "Miss Jenny, you’re a peach!” “Thank you.” she said. “And here Is the skirt I have ripped it open. You see. it will -make a fine flag.” "If it’s put up. Seems a pity, though, to do that, when we're getting •I’m Unprepared to Climb Precipices, Even Though My Costume Is That lag it down, and starting little colony of our ownT Miss Leslie raised the skirt in her outstretched hands. Behind it her lace became white us the cloth. "Well?” demanded Blake soberly, though his eyes were twinkling. There are plenty Wb’ll have the signal up before noon.” Miss Leslie murmured her thanks, and immediately set about the prep­ aration of breakfast When Blake had the bamboo ready, with one edge of the broad piece of white duck lashed to it with catgut as high up as tbe tapering staff would bear, he called upon Wlnthrope to ac­ company him. "You can go, too. Miss Jenny," he added. “You haven't been on the cliff yet, and you ought to celebrate the oc­ casion." . "No, thank you," replied the girl. "I’m still. unprepared to climb preci­ pices, even though my costume Is that of a savage." . "Savage? Great Scott! that leopard dress would win out against any set of Russian furs a-going, and I’ve heard they’re considered *11 kinds of dog. Come on. I can swing you Into the branches, and It’s easy from there up.", “You will excuse me, please." "Yes, you can go alone," Interposed Wlnthrope. "I am Indisposed this morning, and, what is more, I have had enough of your dictation. ’ "You have, have you?’’ growled Blake, his patience suddenly come to an end. "Well, let me tell you. Miss Leslie is ■ lady, and if she don't want to go, that settles it. But as for you. you’ll go, ft I have to kick you every step." Wlnthrope cringed back, and broke Into a childish whine. "Don’t—don’t do it, Blake— Oh. I say, Miss Gene­ vieve, how can you stand by and see him abuse me like this?” Blake was grinning as he turned to Miss - Leslie. Her face was flushed and downcast with humiliation for her friend. It seemed incredible that a man of his breeding should betray such weakness. A quick change came over Blake’s face. "Look here,” he muttered, "I guess I’m enough of a sport to know some-, thing about fair play. Win’s coming down with the fever, and's no more to blame for doing the baby act than he’ll be when he gets the delirium, and gabbles." "I will thank you to attend to your own affairs.” said Wlnthrope. "You’re entirely welcome. It’s what I’m doing— Do you understand. Miss Jenny?” , “Indeed, yes: and I wish to thank .you. I have noticed how patient you have been—’’ "Pardon me. Miss Leslie," rasped Wlnthrope. ’’Can you not see that for a fellow of this class to talk of fair play and patience is the height of imj>ertinence? In England, now, such insufferable impudence—" "That’ll do.” broke in Blake, “It’B time for us to trot along." "But, Mr. Blake, if he Is III—" "Just the reason why he should keep moving. No more of your gab. Win! Give your jaw a lay-off, and try wig­ gling your legs instead." Wlnthrope turned away, crimson with Indignation. Blake paused only for a parting word with Miss Ix>siie. "If you want something to do. Miss Jenny, try making yourself a.pair of moccasins out of the scraps of skin. You can’t stay In this gully all the time. You’ve got to trsmn around some, and those slippers must be about done for." "They are still serviceable. Yet if you think—’’ "You’ll need good tough moccasins soon enough. Singe off the hair, and make soles of the thicker pieces. If you do a fair job. maybe 1’fl employ you as my cobbler, soon as I get the hide off one of those skittish antelope." Miss Leslie nodded and smiled in re­ sponse to his jesting tone. But as he swung away after Wlnthrope, she stood for some time wondering at her­ self. A few days since she knew she would have taken Blake’s remark as an Insult. Now she. was puzzled to find herself rather pleased that he should so note her ability to be of service. When she roused herself, and began singeing the hair from the odds and ends of leopard skin, she discovered a new sensation to add to her list of unpleasant experiences. But she did not pause until tbe last patch of hair crisped close to the half-cured surface of the hide. Fetching the penknife and her thorn and catgut from the baobab, she gathered the pieces of skin together, and walked along tbe cleft to the ladder-tree. There had been time enough for Blake and Wln­ thrope to set up the signal, and she was curious to see how it looked. She paused at the foot of the tree, and gazed up to where the withered crown lay crushed against the edge of the cliff. The height of the rocky wall made her hesitate; yet the men. in passing up and down, had so cleared away the twigs and leaves and brokeif the branches on the upper side of the trunk, that it offered a means of ascent far from difficult even for a young lady. The one difficulty was to reach tbe lower branches. She could hardly touch, them with her finger-tips. But her barbaric costume must have in­ spired her. She listened for a mo tne.nL and hearing no sound to indicate the return of the men, clasped the upper side of’the trunk with her hands and knees, and made an en- > srgetlc attempt to climb. The posture' was far from dignified, but the girl s eyes sparkled with satisfaction as she found herself slowly mounting. When, flushed and breathless, she gained a foothold among tbe branches, she looked down at-the ground, and permitted herself a merry little giggle up, finding that tbe branches made convenient steps. She did not look back, and the screen of, treetops be­ neath saved her from any sense of giddiness. As her head came above the level of the cliff, she peered through the foliage, and saw the sig­ nal-flag far over near the end of the headland. The big piece of white duck stood out bravely against the blue sky, all the more conspicuous for the flocks of frightened seafowl which wheeled above and around it Surprised that she did not see the men. Miss Leslie started to draw her­ self up over tbe cliff edge. She heard Winthrope’s voice a few yards away to her left. A sudden realization that the Englishman might consider her exploit ill-bred caused her to sink back out of sight. She was hesitating whether to de­ scend or to climb on up, when Win­ thrope’s peevish whine was cut short by a loud and angry retort from Blake. Every word came to the girl's ears with the force of a blow. "You do, do you? Well, I'd like to know where in hell you come in. She's not your sister, nor your mother, nor your aunt, and if she’s your sweet­ heart, you’ve both been damned close­ mouthed over IL" There was an Irritable, rasping murmur from Wlnthrope, and again came Blake’s loud retort. "Look here, young man, don’t you forget you called me a cad once before. ' I can stand a good deal from a sick man; but I’ll give it to you straight, you’d better cut that out. Call me a brute or a savage, if that’ll let off your steam; buL un­ derstand. I'm none of your English kinds.” Again Wlnthrope spoke, this, time tn a fretful whine. Blake replied with lesy anger: "That’s so; and I’m going to show you that I’m the real thing when it comes to being a sport. Give you my word. I’ll make no move till you’re through the fever and on your legs again. What I'll do then depends on my own sweet'will, and don’t you forget. jL I’m not after her fortune. It’s the lady herself that takes my fancy. Remem­ ber what I said to you when you called me a cad the other time. You had your turn aboard ship/ Now I can do as I please; and that’s what I’m going to do. If I have to kick you over the cliff end ArsL to shut off your pesky Interference.” The girl crouched back into the withered foliage, dazed with terror. Again she heard Blake speak. He had dropped into a bitter sneer. "No chance? It’s no nerve, you mean. You could brain me, easyenough, any night—just walk up with a club when I’m asleep. Trouble is. you’re like most other under dogs— ’fraid that if you licked your boss, there’d be no soup bones. So I guess I’m slated to stay boss of this colony —grand Poo Bah and Mikado, all in one. Understand? You mind your own business, and don’t go to Inter­ fering with me any more! . . . Now, if you’ve stared enough at the lady’s skirt—" The threat of discovery stung the girl to Instant action. With almost frantic haste, she scrambled down to the lower branches, and sprang to the ground. She had never ventured such r leap even in childhood. She struck lightly but without proper balance, and pitched over sideways. Her hands chanced to alight upon the remnants of leopard skin. Great as was her fear, she stopped to gather all to­ gether In the edge of her skirt before darting up the clefL At the baobab she turned and gazed back along the cliff edge. Before she had time to draw a second breat?.. she caught a glimpse of Blake's palm-leaf hat. near the crown of the ladder tree. "O-o-h!—he didn’t see me!" phe murmured. Her frantic strength van­ ished, and a deathly sickness came upon her. She felt herself going, and sought to kneel to ease the fall. She was roused from the swoon by Blake’s resonant shout: “Hey, Miss Jenny! where are you? We've got your laundry on the pole in fine shape!” The girl’s flaccid limbs grew tense, and her body‘quivered with a shudder of dread and loathing. Yet she set her little white teeth, and forced herself to rise and go out to face the men. Both met her look with a blank stare of consternation. "What Is It, Miss Genevieve?” cried Wlnthrope. "You're white as chalk!” "It’s the fever!" growled Blake. "She’s in the cold stage. Get a pot on. Well—" “No, no; it’s not that! It's only— I’ve been frightened!" "Frightened?" “By a—a dreadful beast!” "Beast!" repeated Blake, and his pale eyes flashed as be sprang across to where his bow and arrows and his club leaned against the baobab. 'Til have no beasts nosing around my dooryard! Must be that skulking Hon I heard last night. I’ll show him!" He caught up his weapons and stalked off down the clefL “By Jove!" exclaimed Wlnthrope; "the man really must be mad. Call him back. Miss Genevieve. If any­ thing should happen to him—" "If only there might!" gasped the girt. “Why, what do you mean?” She burst into a hysterical laugh. **Oh! oh! it’s such a joke—such a joket At least he’s not a hyena—oh, no; a brave beast!

Roll call was re­ sponded to by "Temperance Current Events,” which was followed by a solo, ‘ ’The Lifted Latch For Jaclc,” by Airs. Coy Brumm. Then followed a heated discussion on the question, “How shall we best train our children to be helpful members of society?” Some excellent thoughts were present­ ed by those present. At this time the companv was favored with a vocal duet, “The Songs that Mother Sang,” by Misses Clara McDerby and Pauline Kunz. The meeting closed with player. OBJECTS TO COUNTIES ACTING AS COLLECTING AGENCIES. "Under the present law, counties often have to serve as collecting agen­ cies for hotels and boarding houses,” declared Supervisor Geoage Robb of Flint at the morning session of the supervisors’ association January 3d. He said that Genesee county, the county he represents, had spent hundreds of dollars in collect­ ing board bills that had been jumped in his city. Many of these board bill jumpers were brought back from out­ side the state at a big expense in or­ der to collect a bill of perhaps less than. 110. When arraign in court, some of tbe defendants had the money to settle for their board bill but no money to pay the costs. Mr. Robb declared that he thought that if tbe county was going to put up the money for collecting such bills, then it should not discriminate agaipst butchers and grocers. But he should like to see the law repealed. “It is an obnox­ ious law,” he declared. TO OWNERS OF PIANOS. You may save yourself a great deal of expense if you read this article carefully. Since I have been in Nash­ ville, I have been called to examine many pianos of different makes. I must say that I have found without one exception a condition which should not exist. One of tbe most deadly foes to the piano is dirt, which if al­ lowed to remain in a piano will cause moths to breed in the fine wool felt, and once they are in your piano it is out of the question to remedy the trouble until you remove all old felts and replace same with new. This process is very expensive and can be avoided. Your investment in a piano is too great for you to neglect it. In all the pianos which I nave tuned since coming here I have found them all filled with dirt, and in three cases moths were found doing great dam­ age. I will refer you to the owners of these Instruments if you will call me up on phone No. 155. I have not found a piano in Nashville which had ever been cleaned,' which should be done at least once a year. I make no charge for examination. My price for tuning is 12.50. I respectfully solicit your patronage. Prof. A. Numbers, Nashville, Mich. Climatic Peculiarity.

ATTEMPTS TO DROWN HIMSELF WHILE INSANE, During a spell of melancholy, Frank Heney, aged 45, living at Carlton Cen­ ter, tried to Uke his own life by drowning early Friday morning. Hen­ ey has been ill for several weeks and subject to fits of despondency. Thurs­ day night he refused to have his wife attend Dim as usual, saying he was all right. Shortly after midnight he dressed himself in underclothes and overalls, and started for the swim­ ming hole in the river where the water is about eight feet deep. It was cov­ ered with thick ice along which he walked until he came to a stretch of open water, into which he threw him­ self. The water here was only eight inches deep, and he managed to regain his feet and go farther down the stream, where he tried it again in Bnother open place.

During the night he had cut a bamboo fishing pole and lengthened. Mlsg Leslie's line of plaited, cucoanut-flber with a long catgut leader. In the afternoon he completed his outfit with a hairpin book and a piece of half-dried meat. t wm back on hour earlier than usual, and he brought with him a dozen or more fair-sized fish. His mouth* was watering over the prospec­ tive feast, and Miss Leslie showed her­ self hardly less eager for a change from their monotonous diet. As the fish were already dressed, she raked up the coals and quickly contrived a grill of green bamboos. When the odor of the broiling fish spread about In the still air. even Win­ thrope sniffed and turned over, while .Blake watched the crisping delicacies with a ravenous look. Unable to re­ strain himself, he caught up the smallest fish, half cooked, and bolted It down with such haste that he burnt hls mouth. He ran over to the spring for a drink, and Winthrope cackled derisively. Mias-Italic was too absorbed in her cooking to observe the result of Blake's greediness. She .had turned the fish for the last time, and was about to lift them off the fire, when Blake came running back, and sent grill and all flying with a violent kick. "Salt!" he gasped—"where's the 1 tall? I'm poisoned!” "Poisoned?" ' "Poison fish! Don't eat! God!— ' Where’s the salt?" mu, vue ueajst drew away, with an uneasy whine. ' There was a pause; -then, backed by three others, the leader approached Winthrope.. He waa still lying in the. death-like torpor, and be lacked the protection which, in all likelihood, the leopafd skin had given Miss Leslie. The cowardly brutes took him for dead or dying. They sniffed at -him from head to foot, and then, with a ferocious outburst of anarla and yells, flung themselves upon him. Had It not ftanced that Winthrope waa lying upon bis side, with one arm thrown up. he would have been fatally wounded by the first slashing bites of his assailants. The two which sought to tear him were baffled by the thick folds of Blake's coat, while tbelr lead­ er’s slash at the victim’s throat waa barred by the upraised arm. With a savage snap, the beast’s jaws closed on the arm, biting through to the bone. At the same Instant the fourth jackal tore ravenously at one of the out­ stretched legs. With a shriek of agony. Winthrope started up from his torpor, and struck out frantically In a fury of pain and terror. Startled by the violence of thia unexpected resistance, the jack­ als leaped back—only to spring in again as the remainder of the pack made a rush to forestall them. Winthrope was staggering to his feet, when the foremost brute leaped upon him. He fell heavily against one of the main supports of his bam­ boo canopy, and the entire structure came down with a crash. Two of the jackals, caught beneath the roof, howled with fear as they sought to free themselves. The others, with brute dread of an unknown danger, drew away, snarling and gnashing their teeth. ', Wakened by the first ferocidus yelps of Wlnthrope’s assailants, Miss Leslie had started up and stared about in the darkness. On all sides sb® could see pairs of fiery eyes and dim forms like (he phantom creatures of a nightmare. Wlnthrope’s shriek, Instead of spur­ ring her to action, only confused her the more and benumbed her faculties. She thought it was his death cry. and stoCTl trembling, transfixed with horror.

Unaware that even a lion or a tiger la quickly discouraged by the knlfe-lfke splinters of broken bamboo, she expected every moment that the jackals would bite their way through her frail barrier. She -remembered the sharpened stakes of her screen, hidden under the leaves and grass of her bed. She groped her way across the hollow, and uncovered one of the stakes. In her haste she cut her hand on *Its raaor-llke edge. All unheeding, she sprang back towards the entrance. She was none too soon. One of the smaller Jackals bad forced its. head and one leg between the bars, and was strug­ gling to enlarge the opening. Fearful that the whole pack was about to burst in upon her, the girl grasped the bamboo stake in both hands, and began stabbing and .lung­ ing at the beast with all her strength. The jackal squirmed and snarled and snapped viciously. But the girl was now frantic. She pressed nearer, and though the white teeth grazed her wrist, she drove home a thrust that changed the beast's snarls into a howl of pain. Before she could strike again, it had struggled back out of the hole, beyond reach. Tense and panting with excitement, Ul'R1 showed that he waa still alive. In a j flash her bewilderment vanished. The | stagnant blood surged again through her arteries in a fiery, stimulating tor­ rent With a cry. to which primeval Instinct lent a menacing note, she groped her way to the fallen canopy, and stooped to lift up one side. "Quick!—into the tree!" she called. Still frantic with terror. Winthrope struggled to hip feet. She thrust him towards the baobab, and followed, dragging the moss of interwoven bam­ boos. Emboldened by the retfeat of their quarry, the snarling pack In­ stantly began to close In. Fortunately they were too cowardly to rush at once, and fear spurred their intended victims to the utmost baste. Groping and stumbling, the two felt their way to the baobab, and Miss Leslie pushed Winthrope headlong through the en­ trance. As he fell, she turned to face the pack. The foremost Beasts were at the rear edge of the bamboo framework, their eyes close to the ground. In­ stinct told her that they were crouch­ ing to leap With desperate strength she caught up the canopy before her like a great shield, and drew It In after her until the ends of the cross­ bars were wedged fast against the sides of the opening. Though It seemed so firm, she clung to It with a con­ vulsive grasp as she felt the pack leaders fling themselves against the outer side. But Blake had lashed the bamboos securely together, and none of the beasts was heavy enough to snap the supple bars. Finding that they could not break down the barrier, they be­ gan to scratch and tear at the thatch ■whjeh eovered the frame. .Soon a pair of lean jaws thrust in and snapped at the girl’s skirt She sprang" back, with a cry: “Help! Quick, Mr. Win­ thrope! They're breaking through!” Winthrope made no response. She stooped, and found him lying inert ivhere he had fallen. She had only herself to depend upon.

SAVING TIME. Girl’s widowed mother to ask her daughter's hand la marriage. Everything was ready but hls tie. Before him, on the dressing-table, rested two creations, between which hls choice now lay. One, a dream of black, striped narrowly with white, which he had himself purchased. The other, a nightmare, which The Girl had given him for a present—a tie such as women only buy. •If I wear the black and white Hl look my best,” he mused, “but if I wear the one She gave me. Til please her immensely." Then he whistled, wtlked around the room, and tied his tie. The mother said: •Yea,” although there were tears in her eyes, and The Girl thought he was the handsomest, best-dressed fellow In the world. '’ Which tie did he wear?

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lin­ ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing and when it is entirely. closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can l>e taken off and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destoyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

On the natal day of the Father of the Republic the fleet will complete its demonstration of the efficiency ot the American sailor, the marine power of the nation, and the desirability of world peace. The scene of the-spec­ tacle will be the Identical roadstead over which the hardy little British vessels plowed that brought the first Englishman to Jamestown and Amer­ ica, and over which the guns of the first Ironclads thundered in the battle that revolutionized naval warfare. Vessels Travel 45,600 Miles. During these months ot record steaming the heavily armored fighting vessels have traveled approximately 45,000 miles, and are returning in con­ dition still fit for “a frolic or a fight.” The cruise has been a veritable expe­ dition of the seven seas, and tasks heretofore deemed Impossible for the modern ironclad have been accom­ plished with an ease bordering on the commonplace. That the experience gained on the cruise will be of unending benefit to the navy Is indicated from the fact that probably one-half of the entire personnel of the naval establishment participated in the epoch-making trip. Three of the 16 captains who sailed In command of vessels are returning home as rear admirals. Eight other captains are returning In command of the same ship on which they began the journey of the world. From rear admiral down to mid­ shipman the training has been such as no other naval cruise ever afforded. Among the enlisted men the training has been even more valuable. Lands­ men shipped just before the start and, utterly green In the ways of the deep, are coming home an Integral part of a wonderful fleet efficiency and loyal be­ lievers in all that the American navy stands for. Admiral Evans’ Retirement. To Rear Admiral Charles S. Sperry, a strict disciplinarian, a man of few words, but a recognized scholar and constant, student of the higher arts of naval science, fell the task of direct­ ing the fleet, on all but the first 14.000 miles of Its journey. Rear Admiral Itobley D. Evans, now retired, took the fleet out of Hampton roads on De­ cember 15, 1907, and, although Illness soon after the start confined him to hls cabin for a greater part of the way. he retained command until San Francisco was reached and the first stage of the long trip had been ac­ complished. ; Death has twice invaded the ranks of the captains who sailed with the fleet, but in both Instances the officers bad been previously relieved from duty. CapL Henry McCrea of the Georgia, a most popular officer, died soon after his return to the east, fol­ lowing relinquishment of command at Ban Francisco. CapL Greenllef A. Mer­ riam. who took the Missouri to the Pacific coast, a capable man. also died within a comparatively short time after turning bls vessel over to a suc­ cessor. Record Target Practice. Drills and record target practice filled the time spent by the fleet at Magdalena. It was a month of ual ■work—a month of work enjoyed by all. Record target practice is eagerly an­ ticipated every year. It is a time that every sailor, no matter how new he may be in the service, gets a chance at the guns provided he baa shown any sort of aptitude in the "ping-pong" trials,, which are continuous aboard the men-of-war in port and out. It is at record practice that the men attain the rank of "gun pointer" and get a white star and crossed circle on their blouse sleeve if they make a certain mark. To be a gun pointer means ex­ tra pay each month, according to the class attained, and there Is prize money for all, if the ship’s guns as a whole make a deserving record. The record practice of last spring devel­ oped an accuracy and rapidity of fire never before attained. After Magdalena came the excursion Of the fleet to the California resorts, and there was, apparently, a never­ ending program of merry-making. The story of the fleet’s visit to Hon­ olulu, to Auckland, Sidney, Melbourne and Albany in Australia; to Yokoha­ ma. to Amoy, to Manila and to the ports of call on the way home through the Suez are too recent to need recall. The welcome extended in Australia and Japan left nothing to be asked either in lavishnesa of entertainment or in sincerity of purpose. The battleships, had their schedule brought them sooner to th® eastern end of the Suez, might have played a notable part Ln succoring the stricken people ot Messina.

Some are an absolute protection, other* amount to practically nothing at all. If ar man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who make* a cheap rod., which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 8500 in cash., The fact that the manufacturers make this guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against fire by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? II you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a $500 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. Original Night Rider.

HESS STOCK FOOD Pays • Because it increases the powers of digestion, 'making one bushel of grain with Dr. Hess Stock Food equal to nearly two with­ out it. All growth . depends upon digestion. It acts on scientific principles also. It contains bitter tonics recommended by every medical college for improving the appetite and increasing the flow of digestive juices; it supplies the system with iron, the greatest blood and tissue builder; it contains the nitrates which expel poisonous waste material from the system, and laxatives which regulate the bowels. It makes animals thrive on dry feed just as though they were out at pasture; is there doubt, therefore, about Dr. Hess Stock Food paying? We guarantee it to pay for itself many times over in increased flesh and milk production, besides curing stock ailments. THE OLD RELIABLE 6R0CERY, FRANK McDERBY, Proprietor. A GOOD FELLOW.

Glasner is to re­ tire from, business in Nashville, hav­ ing ,sold his interest in the firm of Glasner & Maurer to his partner, Herman A. Maurer. Mr. Glasner has not yet decided upon his plans for the future, but will undoubtedly devote bis time for the coming sum­ mer to his farm south of the village. We hope this does not mean that he is to retire permanently from Nashville’s business circles, for he is a man whom the village can ill afford to lose. Mr. Maurer, who will hereafter conduct the business alone, needs no introduc­ tion to our readers. He is a young man who is well known and universal­ ly respected. He is young, energetic, a' shrewd and careful business man, pleasant and courteous, and that he will muke a success of the business is assured. He will carry the same lines which have been handled in the estab­ lishment in'the past, adding to it as. trade demands, and we can assure al) who give him their patronage that they will receive the very best of at­ tention and their wants will be care­ fully looked after.

Not observing Wlnthrope’s wounds, which had bled little, she sought to fcrce a way out through the entrance. It was by no means an easy task to free the wedged framework, and when, after much pulling and pushing, she at last tore the mass loose, she found herself perspiring no less freely than Wlnthrope. Bhe wa» far too preoccupied, how­ ever, to consider what this might mean. Her first thought wus of a fire. She ran to her rude stone fireplace and raked over the ashes. They were •till warm, but there was aot a live ember among them. Yet she realized that Wlnthrope must have hot food when be awakened,- and Blake had carried with him the magnifying glass. For a little she stood hesitating. But the defeat of the jackals had given her courage and resolution such as she had never before known. She returned Into the cave, and chose the sharpest of her stakes. Having made certain that Wlnthrope was still asleep, she sot off boldly down the cleft. At the first turn she came upon Blake's thorn barricade. It stretched across the narrowest part of the cleft in an Impenetrable wall, 12 feet high. Only In the center was a gap, which could have been filled by Blake In less than two hours’ work. The girl's eyes brightened. She herself could gather the thorn-brush and fill the gap before night. They no longer need fear the jackals or even the larger beasts of prey. iftone the leu, they must have fire. Spurred on by the thought, she was about to spring through the. barricade when she heard the tread of feet on the path beyond. She crouched down, and peered through the tangle of brush in the edge of the gap. Less than ten paces away Blake was plod­ ding heavily up the trail She stepped out before him. she “You—you!

But the very motive which, seemingly, prevented him'from protesting, impelled her to speak for him. "Mr. Blake!” she exclaimed, "Mr. Wlnthrope is going off without a word; but 1 can’t endure It!

The girl gazed at his broad back and erect head, uncertain whether she should feel relieved or anxious. The more she thought the matter over, the more uncertain she became, and the more she wondered at her uncertain­ ty. Could It be possible that she was becoming interested In a man who, if her ears had not deceived her— But no! That could not be possible! Yet what a ring there was to his voice!—so clear and tonic after Wln­ thrope^ precise, modulated drawl. And her countryman’s firmness!

He was In the best of hu­ mors, and showed unexpected consid­ eration by presenting Wlnthrope with a cane, which he had cut and trimmed during the night. Having sent Miss Leslie to fill the whisky flask with spring water, he dropped three cocoanut-ahell bowls, a piece of meat and a lump of salt into one of the earthenware pots, and slung all over his shoulder in the ante­ lope skin. With his bow hung over the other shoulder, knife and arrows In his belt, and his big club in his hand, he looked ready for any contin­ gency. “We’ll bit first for the mouth of the river," he said. “Pm going on ahead.

Angell Praised by Gov. Warner. Gov. Warner sent a message to the legislature calling attention to the dis-' tlnguished services of President An­ gell of the University of Michigan. It was referred to the university commit­ tees and engrossed resolutions will be sent to President Angell as an official acknowledgment from the state. The message is: "I deem it proper officially to direct your attention to the fact that, after nearly two-score years of most conscientious and valuable serv­ ice, Dr. James B. Angell has tendered to the regents of the University of Michigan bls resignation as president of the great institution of learning which has done so much to give Michi­ gan a commanding position among the. Blates of the union." To Investigate Prisons. A resolution was log-rolled through the house providing for an investiga­ tion of Marquette and Ionia prisons. It was Introduced by Representative darken of Detroit, who is the repre­ sentative of the labor interests of that city. There is nothing wrong with either institution so far as is known, but Clarken's purpose, it is saidf is to get before the legislature an adverse report on the contract labor system.

Try The News “Want Ads” Cl Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect his buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith In, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building la struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 1500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make thia guarantee shows that they knew that their rod is an absolute protection against life by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, In order to save a few dollar* in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot of I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a $500 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see thia system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C.«/. Scheldt �ClothesSuperiority Our prices need not prevent anyone from in­ dulging ifi clothes superiority.

Each tent house, completely equipped, represents an expense of *250, and a number of local Camps, or lodges, of the Society have decided to donate tenta. Ab there are over 13,000 local Camps of Modern Wood­ men, and over 1,000,000 members, it is anticipated that several colonies will soon ire equipped in this way. The members and local Camps of the society have voluntarily contribut­ ed to the Sanatorium fund over *70,000 and at the last national convention a permanent tax of ten cents per year was voted to the support of this work. The last official Woodman reports show that -during the years 1891-1907, inclusive, 14.5 per cent of the total mortality, or 5,156deaths, were charg­ ed to tuberculosiH, and that 13.9 per cent of the total insurance losses in those years, or *9,065,000, resulted from this cause. As the mortality ex­ perience of the Woodmen society has been unusually favorable, being but 70 per cent of the expected at all ages under the National Fraternal congress table, a death rate of but 6.29 per 1,000—or but 4.98 per l,00d, if the ex­ perience of the first five membership years be included—the heavier insur­ ance loHses inflicted upon other so­ cieties experiencing a higher mortality may be conservatively approximated. If the Woodmen society, with its ex­ ceptionally favorable mortality, finds it to be “good business" to fight con­ sumption in this way, why should not other fraternal societies, life in­ surance companies, labor organiza­ tions, the national and international church bodies, etc., find it profitable, from the viewpoint of business or benevolence, or both, to take such action? Each live saved to the Woodman society, by means of this sanatorium, will, it is stated, represent a saving of *1,700—the average amount of the Woodman policies in force—at an ex­ pense of that sum. In the broader sense, each life saved means the pre­ servation to the family of its head and bread-winner, and to the state of a useful, self-sustaining citizen. MAPLE GROVE CENTER. Ed.

MODERN HOODMEN WILL FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS. At the last meeting of the Executive Council of the Modern Woodmen Society, held at the headquarters of the society in Rock Island, III., it was decided to conduct that Society's san­ atorium, located at Colorado Springs, Colo., for the treatment of members affected with tulterculosis, free of all charge to members. The Modern Woodmen Society, several months since, acquired 1 ,380 of Ind within seven miles of Colora­ do Springs, and has estaplished there­ on an up-to-date sanatorium, the tent colony plan being employed. The first colony was opened for the reception of patients, on Jan. 1, 1909. It is equipped to care for 60 patients, to which number admissions will be limited for the present. Tbe tenu are octagonal structures, with shingle roofs, canvas side, hard wood floors on solid cement founda­ tions. heated by a central plant, equipped with all modern conven­ iences, such as telephones, etc., and each tent will accommodate one pa­ ! tient. An administration building for physicians, nurses, dining hall, baths of all kinds etc., stands in the center of the colony. Dr. J. E. White, formerly of the Nordrach ranch sanatorium, the medi­ cal director in charge, states that only those consumptive members who are curable, or whose lives may be prolonged for a considerable length of time, will be admitted as patients.

February 14, 1909, aged 84 years and and 10 days. He was the youngest of four children and at the age of five years was left without a mother. When eight years of age. he moved with his father to Sandusky. Ohio, where he spent his boyhood days. In 1844 he left home and came to Mich­ igan to carve out a home in the forest, finally settling on the site of his present home. While felling tim­ ber in , preparation for building a house, he was so unfortunate as break his leg and thus had a stop put to his lat»ors. In June, 1846, he went to Ohio and was united in marriage to Miss Marriette Hathaway and in the spring of 1848 returned to Michigan, settling in a shanty with nothing but a blanket at the doorway. Frequent callers at this humble home were ti e red men of the forest. Their union was blessed with the birth of five ■ children, three sons and two daugh­ ters, Wm. L. and Mrs. 1. W. Cargo of Assvria, Henry C. of Battle Creek. Mrs. Wm. Hawley of Bellevue and Chas. S. of Oxford, Kans. In the winter of 1856 he united with the Meth­ odist church and was a member of the Austin class at the time of his death. In politics be was a staunch republi­ can and has been honored many times by his fellow townsmen in the election to positions of trust. He has voted in Assyria township for GO years and has lived under the admin­ istration of every president with the exception of four. He was probably as well informed regarding the changes that have taken place as any man living and having a remark­ able memory, he was able to present pictures of the past in a very enter­ taining manner. Besides his child­ ren, he leaves his aged wife, one sis­ ter, eleven grandchildren and one great grandchild, with many friends to mourn their loss.

We want to convince every rheumatic sufferer at our expense that our Rheumatic Remedy does what thousands of so-called remedies have failed to accomplish—acluulfy cures Rheumatism. You cannot coax Rheumatism out through the feet or skin with plasters or cunning metal contrivances. You cannot tease it out with liniments, electricity or magnetism. You cannot imagine it out with mental science. You must dime it cut. It is in the blood and you must go aftei it and get it. This is just what Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy does and that is why it cures Rheumatism. Rheumatism is Uric Acid, and Uric Acid and Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy cannot live together in the same blood. The rheu­ matism has to go and it does go.

HOSPITAL FOR BARRY COUNTY. A preliminary meeting was held in Hastings Monday evening for the pur­ pose of organizing a Hospital Asso­ ciation for Barry County. Dr. H. A. Barber was elected temporary chair­ man and Dr. G. W. Lowry, secretary.

The estimated cost of such a hospital as this county would require was $10,000. It was voted to call a mass meeting at the city hall, Tuesday evening, March 2, at 7:30 to perfect the organ­ ization of a Barry County Hospital Association.

It acts oh scientific principles also. It contains bitter tonics recommended by every medical college for improving the appetite and increasing the flow of digestive juices: it supplies the system with iron, the greatest blood and tissue builder: it contains the nitrates which expel poisonous waste material from the system, and laxatives which regulate the bowels. It makes animals thrive on dry feed just as though they were out at pasture; is there doubt, therefore, about Dr. Hess Stock Food paying?

Wlnthrope could pick his way but slowly. Before they were dear of the rough ground, they saw . Blake disappear among the man'grove*. The ticks proved leas apnoying than they had .apprehended after Blake’s warning. But when they approached , ' . - , * ■ . the mouth of the river, they were alarmed to hear, above the roar of .the aurf, loud snorting, such as could only be made by large animals. Fearful lest Blake had roused and angered some forest beast they veered to the right and ran to hide behind a clump of thorns. Wlnthrope sank down ex­ hausted the moment they reached cover; but Miss Leslie crept to the far end of the thicket and peered around. "Oh, look here!” she cried. "It’s a whole herd of elephants trying to cross the river mouth where we did, •nd they're being drowned, poor things!" "Elephants?" panted Wlnthrope, and he dragged himself forward beside her. "Why, so there are; quite a drove of the beasts. Yet, I must say. they appear smaller—ah. yes; see their heads. They must be the hippos Blake saw.” “Those ugly creatures? I once saw acme at the zoo. Just the same, they will be drowned. Somft are right !n the surf!” "I can’t say. I'm sure, Mlsa Gene­ vieve. but I have an idea that the beasts, are quite at home in the wa­ ter. I fancy they enjoy surf bathing aa keenly as ourselves.” "I do believe you are right. There Is one going In from the quiet water. But look at those funny little ones on the backs of the others!" "Must be the baby hippos,” replied Wlnthrope, indifferently. 'If you please. I'll take a pull at the flask. I am very dry." When he had half emptied the flask, he stretched out in the shade to doze. But Miss Leslie continued to watch the movements of the snorting hippos, •mused by the ponderous antics of the grown ones in the surf, and the comic appearance of the barrel-like Infants aa they mounted the backs of their obese mothers. * Presently Blake came out from among the mangroves, and walked •cross to the beach, a few yards away from the huge bathers. To all ap­ pearances, they paid aa little attention to him as be to them. Miss Leslie glanced about at Wlnthrope. He was fast asleep. She waited a few mo­ ments to see If the hippopotami would attack Blake. They continued to ig­ nore him. and gaining courage from their indifference, she stepped out from behind the thicket, and advanced to where Blake was crouched on the beach. When she came up, she saw beside him • heap of oysters, which be was opening In rapid succession. "Hello! You're just in time to help," he called. "Where’s Win?” “Asleep behind those bushes "Worst thing he could do. But lend • hand, and well shuck these oysters before rousting him out Yon can rinse those Eve opened. Fill the pot with water, and put them tn to soak.” "They look very tempting. How did you chance to find them?" "Saw ’em on the mangrove roots at low tide, first time I nosed around here. Tide was well up to-day; but I managed to get these all right with a little diving. Only trouble, the akeets most ate me alive.” Miss Leslie glanced at her compan­ ion's dry clothing, and came back to the oysters themselves. “These look very tempting. Do you like them raw?” "Can’t say I like them much any way. «s a rule. But If I did, I wouldn’t eat this mesa raw.” “Year "This must be the dry season here, and the river is running mighty clear. Just the same it’s nothing more than liquid malaria. We’ll not eat ' these bysVrs till they’ve been pasteurized." "If the water is so dangerous, I fear we will miffer before we can return," replied Miss Leslie, and she held up the flask. “What!" exclaimed Blake. “Half gone already? That was Wlnthrope." “He was very thirsty. Could we not boll a potful of the river water?” ‘•Yes, when the ebb gets strong, if we run too dry. First, though, we’ll make n try for cocoanuta. Let's hit out for the nearest grove now. The main thing is tc keep moving.” At the flrat fan-ealm Blake stopped to gather a number of leaves, for their palm-leaf hats were now cracked and broken. A little farther on a ruddy antelope, with lyrate horns, leaped out of the bush before them and dashed off toward the river before Blake could string hie bow. As if in mockery of his lack of readiness, a troupe of large green monkeys set up a wild­ chattering in a tree above the party. "I say, Mies Jenny; do you think you can hig the pot. If we go slow? It isn’t far now. “Good for you, little woman? That’ll give me a chance to shoot quick." They moved bn again for a hundred yards or more: but though Blake kept , a sharp lookout both above and below, he saw no game other than a few small birds and a pair of blue wood­ pigeons. When he sought to creep up on the latter, they flew into the next tree. In following them, he came upon a conical mound of hard clay, nearly four feet high. . * "Hello; this must be one of those white ant-hills." he said, and he gave the mound a klcjt. .. Instantly a tiny object whirred up and struck him In the face. "Wheel" he exclaimed, springing hack and striking out. "A hornet! No; it’s a bee!" "Did It atlng you?" cried Miss Les­ lie. "Sting? Keep back; there’s a lot more of ’em. Sling? Oh, no; he only hypodermlcked me with a red-hot darning needle! Shy around here. There’s a whole swarm of the little devils, and they’re hopping mad. Hear ’em buzx!" "But where is their hive?" asked Wlnthrope, as all three drew back be­ hind the nearest bushes. ' “Guess they’ve borrowed that ant­ hill," replied Blake, gingerly fingering the white lump which marked the spot where the bee bad struck him. "Wouldn’t It be delightful if we had some honey?" exclaimed Miss Leslie. "By Jove, that really wouldn’t be half bad!" chimed in Wlnthrope. * “Maybe we can. Miss Jenny; only well need a fire to tackle those buz­ zers. Guess it’ll be as well to let them cool off a bit also. The cocoanuts are only a little way ahead now. Here; give me the pot." They soon came to a small grove of cocoanut palms, where Blake threw down his club and bow and handed his burning-glass to Miss Leslie. "Here," he said; “you and Win start a fire. It's early yet, but I’m think­ ing we’ll all be ready enough for oyster stew." “How about the meat?" asked Miss Leslie. “Keep that till later. Here goes for pur dessert" Selecting one of the smaller palms. Blake spat on his bands, and began to climb the slender trunk. Aided by previous experiences, he mounted steadily to the top. The descent was made with even more care and steadi­ ness, for he did not wish to tear lhe skin from his hands again. "Now, Win,” he said, as he neared the bottom and sprang down, "leave the cooking to Miss Leslie, and husk some of those puts. You won’t more’n have time to do It before the stew ia ready." • . Winthrope’s response was to draw out his penknife. Blake stretched himself at ease in the shade, but kept a critical eye on bis companions. Al­ though Winthrope’s fingers trembled with weakness, he worked with a pre­ cision and rapidity that drew a grunt of approval from Blake. Presently Miss Leslie, who had been stirring the stew with a twig, threw in a little salt, and drew the pot from the fire. "En avant, gentlemen! Dinner la served," she called gayly. “What’s that?" demanded Blake. "Oh; sure. Hold on, Miss Jenny. You'll dump it all.” He wrapped a wisp of grass about the pot, and filled the three cocoanut bowls. The stew was boiling hot; but they fished up the oysters with the bamboo forks that Blake had carved some days since. By the time the oysters were eaten, the liquor in the bowl was cool enough to drink. The process was repeated until the pot bad been emptied of its contents. “Say, but that was something like," murmured Blake. "If only we'd had pretzels and beer to go with It! But these nuts won't be .bad.” When they finished the cocoanuta, Wlnthrope asked for a drink of wa­ ter. "Would It not be best to keep It un­ til later?” replied Miss Leslie. "Sure," put In Blake. “We’ve had enough liquid refreshments to do any one. If I don't look out, you’ll both be drinking river water. Just bear In mind the work I’d have to carve a pair of gravestones. No; that flask fias got to do you till we get home. I don't shin up any more telegraph poles to-day.” "Would It not be best for Mr. Wln­ thrope to rest during the noon hours?” “’Frald not, Mies Jenny. We*re not on t'other side of Jordan yet, and there’s no rest for the weary this side." "What odd expressions you use, Mr. Blake!” “Just giving you the reverse applica­ tion of one of those songs they jolly us with in the mission churches—” "I’m sure, Mr. Slake--" “Me, too, Mias Jenny! So, aa that's settled, we’ll be moving. Chuck fume live coals in the pot, and come on." He started off, weapons in hand.

If we have the fever. It will be entirely his fault. We have been bitten repeated ly this morning, and all because he must compel us to come with him to this infected lowland." "Still, I think we should do what Mr. Blake says." "My dear Miss Genevieve, for your sake I will endeavor not to break with the fellow. Only, you know, it is deuced hard to keep one's temper when one considers what a bounder— what an unmitigated cad—" "Stop! I will not listen to another word!” exclaimed the girl, and she hurried after Blake, leaving Winthrope staring in astonishment. "My word!" be muttered; "can it be, after all I’ve done—and him, of all the low fellows—” He stood for seyeral moments in deep thought The look on bls sallow face was far from pleasant being shipwrecked. She uttered a littie cry of delight, and ran to pluck the blossom. Wlnthrope, glancing about at her exclamation, saw her stoop over the flower—and In the same instant he saw a huge, vivid coil, all black and green and yellow, flash up out Of the bedded leaves and strike against the girt She staggered back, screaming with horror, yet seemed unable to run.

Blake, we have had a most enjoyable change of food.” "If you are sure It will agree with you." remarked Miss Leslie. "But I am sure of that. Miss Gene­ vieve. I could digest anything today. I’m fairly ravenous." "All the more reason to be careful," rejoined Blake. “I guess, though, what we’ve had’ll do no harm. We’ll let It settle a bit, here in the shade, and then hit the home trail.” “Could we not first go to the river. Mr. Blake? My hands are dreadfully sticky.” “Win will take you. It’s only a lit­ tle way to the bank here and there’s not much underbrush." “If you think ^t’a quite safe—” re­ marked Wlnthrope. k "It’s safe enough. Go on. You’ll see the river in half a minute. Only thing, you'd better watch out for alli­ gators." “I believe that—er—properly speak­ ing, these are crocodiles.” "You don’t say! Heap of difference it will make if one gets you.” . Miss Leslie caught Winthrope's eye. He turned on his heel, and led the way for her through the first thicket Beyond this they came to a little glade which ran through to the river. When they reached the bank, they stepped cautiously down the muddy slope, and bathed their hands in the clear water. As Miss Leslie rose, Wlnthrope bent over and began to drink. “Oh. Mr. Wlnthrope!” she ex­ claimed; "please don’t! In your weak condition. I'm so afraid—" "Do not alarm yourself. I am per­ fectly well, and I am. quite as compe­ tent to judge what is good fqr me as your—ah—countryman." ’ "Mr. Wlnthrope, I am thinking only of your own good." Wlnthrope took another deep draught, rinsed his fingers fastidious­ ly, and arose. "My deaf Miss Genevieve," he ob­ served, “a woman looks at these mat­ ters in such a different light from a man. But you should know that there are some things a gentleman cannot tolerate.” “You were welcome to all the water in the flask.

Locke of Ionia to have the resolutions condemn the liquor traffic and favor state-wide prohibition was the feature of the Democratic state convention. Delegate Locke's plank was tabled by the convention, 70 to 41. Party lead­ ers declared it would be inadvisable to adopt a plank of such Importance at a convention where the attendance was small, and when the plank in question had received but little general discus­ sion. The following candidates were nom­ inated by the convention: Justices of the supreme court—C. P. Black, Lansing, and M. J. Cavanaugh of Ann Arbor. Mark Morris of Grand Rapids declined the nomination. Regents of the state university—My­ ron H. Walker, Grand Rapids, and L. T. Coumans, Bay City. Members state .board of education— Dr. Henry Kremers. Holland.

Halstead, Petoskey; John Smith, Gratiot, and R. V. McAr thur, Grand Rapids. The resolutions score the present Republican state administration, charg­ ing responsibility for the Jackson prison scandal and the depicted con­ dition of the state treasury at the close of 1908; recommend a "search and seizure" amendment to the county op­ tion liquor law; declare for tariff for revenue only, and demand a non-par­ tisan supreme court, board of univer sity regents, board of agriculture and superintendent of public instruction. Opposes Contract System. Sam Penna of Detroit, who is an offi­ cer of the Michigan Federation of Labor, spoke before the bouse labor committee in favor of abolishing the labor contract system in the prisons of the state. In place of it, he advocated that the convicts be used in manufacturing, as far as possible, goods used by other public institutions in the state, and then on state account work that would least interfere with free labor. Most of the members, of the commit­ tee favor the general proposition of abolishing the present system after ex­ isting contracts expire, but the farm­ ers will hardly agre& to any proposi­ tion that will increase the cost of maintenance of the three prisons.

"I have no objection," he said, “to the cities of the state taking care of their firemen and policemen.

Having decided to quit farming, I will offer for eale at public auction on the premises, 5$ miles eouth and | mile east of Nashville; one mile south of Quailtrap school house, in Maple Grove Township on Friday, March 12, 1909 Commencing at 10 o'clock a. m., the following described property, to wit: Senate Now Planning Probe. There will be an investigation of the land office and also of the land de­ partment of the auditor- general's of­ fice. Thia was provided when the sen­ ate passed a resolution providing for a special committee of three to Inves­ tigate the procedure >pf disposing of state tax lands with a view to recom­ mending such changes as may be nec­ essary. The house appointed a special committee. It is headed by Represent­ ative Maxey and has been authorized to summon witnesses and records. Letters are pouring into the legis­ lature,- largely from Modem Woodmen of America sources, protesting against the passage of a bill fixing a minimum rate to be charged for insurance by fraternal societies. There are some­ thing like 150 licensed fraternal in­ surance organizations doing business In the state which are affiliated with either the National Fraternal congress or the Associated Fraternities of America. The high-water mark for an appro­ priation was reached In the house when Representative Crampton put In the budget for (he Home for the Fee­ ble Minded at Lapeer. This institu­ tion asks for >583.250, of which >376,2£0 Is for two yean* current expenses. The balance is for improvements and two new cottages and other additions. Forest Fire Bill Is In. Representative Maxey Introduced a voluminous bill which provides for the protection of foreft lands and the suppression of forest fires. The pur­ pose of the bill Is to organize a forest fire brigade under the supervision of the state game and fish warden, by dividing the state into 25 districts, each tn charge of an Inspector. Pro­ vision Is made for massing these In­ spectors at any one point in case of necessity. It Is a mammoth scheme, as each Inspector would get >1,000 a year and his expenses.

Mar. 1.—Inaugural week was ushered tn with Washing­ ton ready with gaily bedecked build­ ings. newly erected stands and clean swept streets for the reception of the thousands of patriots who will come hero to witness the induction into of­ fice of President Taft next Thursday. The advance guard of the unattached delegations began arriving yesterday at the vast Union station, where an augmented force of 125 special de­ tectives recruited from practically every large city in the country, went on duty to prevent the ingress of pick­ pockets and other undesirables known to them. With the arrival to-day of the New England coast artillery of Massachu­ setts, 800 strong, the Influx of the or­ ganizations which will participate in the Inaugural parade began.

Roosevelt Issues Proclamation. The president and president-elect spent several hours in conference over the inaugural address. In accordance with the custom of the retiring presi­ dent. Mr. Roosevelt has Issued the fol­ lowing proclamation: “Whereas, public interests require that the senate of the United States be convened at 12 o’clock on the fourth day of March next to revive such communications as may be made by the executive. “Now. therefore, I. Theodore Roose­ velt. president of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim and de­ dare that an extraordinary occasion requires the senate of the United States to convene at the capital, in the city of Wallington, on the fourth day of March next, at 12 o'clock noon, of which all persons who shall at that time be entitled to act as members of that body are hereby required to take notice. "Given under my hand and the seal of the United States at Washington, the twenty-seventh day of February in the year of our Lord 1909, and of the independence of the United States the one hundred and thirty-third." Will Use Historic Bible. Taft will take the oath of office as president on the century-old Bible which belongs to the supreme court of the United States, and by It kept in sacred custody. There is a touch of sentiment in this decision which Mr. Taft announced last night with the statement that had he become a mem­ ber of the supreme court .his oath would have been taken on identically the same book. During the last few days there have been many offers of Bibles to the pros­ pective president. He has not declined to receive the |lfts. but his answer has been that It will be impossible for him to receive them for the purpose intended.

DEAL MADE IN THE UNCLE JOE” DEFENDS RULES OF THE HOUSE incensed by a Magazine Attack the Speaker Writes a caustic Reply. Washington, March 1.—Incensed by I an attack alleged to have been made COURT upon himself and the rules ot the Des. Moines, la., Mar. 1.—John Junken, self-cenfpssed negro slayer of Clara Rosen at Ottumwa February 5 last, was brought to Des Moines yes­ terday by Sheriff Griffin of Albia from the county Jail there. The slayer was placed in the county Jail here for safe keeping as feeling runs high in Ot­ tumwa, the scene of five brutal mur­ ders of women by negroes. J unken in a confession declared he had deliberately planned to commit the awful deed at Ottumwa while he was still an inmate of the Madison penitentiary serving time for robbing and beating a woman. It was his boast that he would again "do the .trick" if given a chance. He boasted his ability to assault defenseless wom­ en. This Information came In a letter from Albert Evans, a Missouri negro, who was a cellmate with Junken at Fort Madison. , * Cellmate Tells of Boast. “Junken la guilty of that crime," writes the negro Evans. “He planned It while still in the penitentiary and when he left I knew it was his Inten­ tion to pull off the stunt as soon as he had an opportunity." Evans' statement Is given more weight on account of the fact that Junken killed Miss Rosen Just a few days after he had been liberated from Fort Madison prison. He was re­ leased January 13 and February 5 the crime was committed. Junken plans to stand trial and has made a request that Attorney Joe Brown, one of the best known negro lawyers tn the stat^ be sent to him for consultation. "I was full of dope. I telkyou. chuck full of ft," he moaned as ho tossed about on his narrow bunk in the St. Louis cage. He told the sheriff he had been chewing cocaine, but on the way to 'Des Moines be said he had been eating opium. Any attempt be maj make along this line to secure a lighter sentence and escape the noose or a life sentence will be fought hard by the state on the claim that the crime was premeditated. Evans to Be Witness. Albert Evans will be brought up from Missouri if necessary and the letter introduced together with his sworn statements on the stand. Since his incarceration in the county Jail here Junken has remained in bls bunk, weeping almost all of the time. Nothing satisfactory as to what prompted him to murder Miss Rosen when he claims he attacked her with the sole purpose of robbing ,could be gained from Junken. He received his first big scare when the Ottumwa mob visited the Albia jail. The fear that he would be lynched so preyed upon him that he would not stay alone and desired the sheriff or a guard to be constantly at his side Junken will be given an immediate trial. The grand Jury meets tn Ottum­ wa Wednesday, the case will be sub­ mitted first and Immediately upon the return of the indictment the trial will be called before Judge Roberts. Jun­ ken will be kept in the Jail here nntil that time. He is 27 years of age and has served numerous terms In prisox. house ot representatives by Edward E.

Try The News “Want Ads” Martin’s Lightning Proof, Better than Insurance Lightning Rods There is all the difference in the world in lightning rods. Some are an absolute protection, others amount to practically nothing at all. If a man wants to protect Jiis buildings he should use the best rod. The manufacturer who makes the best rod gives you a guarantee with it. The man who makes a cheap rod, which he himself has no faith in, will not give you a guarantee. I put up the Martin guaranteed rod at 15 cents per foot. If your building is struck by lightning and burned after being equipped with the Martin guar­ anteed rods, you get 8500 in cash. The fact that the manufacturers make this guarantee shows that they know that their rod is an absolute protection against Are by lightning. Now isn't it foolish, in order to save a few dollars in rodding your building, to use a rod which neither the man who makes it nor the man who sells it has confidence in? If you want that kind of a rod, I will put up the ordinary copper rod at 10 cents per foot or I will sell you the steel wire rod at 2 cents per foot, but I would much rather equip your build­ ings with the Martin guaranteed rod, which I know will protect them, and on which you get a >500 cash guarantee that your buildings are absolutely protected. Under any circumstances, do not allow anybody to put lightning rods on your building until you have seen me. You are invited to call and see this system demon­ strated. It is positively the only practical and safe system. C. J. Scheldt REDUCED ONE WAY COLONIST FARES TO POINTS IN ALBERTA, ARIZONA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CALIFORNIA, COLORADO, IDAHO, MEXICO, MONTANA.

He further stated that while this pre­ scription is often prescribed in rheu­ matic afflictions with splendid results, he could see no reason why it would not be a splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troubles and backache as it has a peculiar action upon the kidney structure, cleansing these most important organs and helping them to sift and filter from the blood the foul acids and waste matter which cause sickness and suffering.

In order to avoid another expensive suit in t,he circuit court, Fred C. Par­ ker, proprietor of the Parker house, of Hastings, has paid in settlement of a suit for 63,0fX) damages brought against him by Mrs. Anna Larsen, of Illinois, for the death of her son, whom she asserted had committed suicide while intoxicated on liquor at the hotel bar, 8400 and $125 taxable costs, closing one of the most inter­ esting cases tried in Barry county in years. The detailed story never has been told. About ten months ago, Ru­ dolph Larsen, aged 19, who appeared to be 22, came to Hastings and ob­ tained employment as a piano player in the Temple theater. He was in the habit of becoming intoxicated. One evening during a performance he’leaped from his seat at the piano and rushed out of doors and up tbe street to Parker A Doyle’s saloon, where a banjo was being raffled off. Larsen was seen to swallow a pill which he took from a bottle. Then he took the banjo and played and sang, highly entertaining his audience fur half an hour. Suddenly they were horrified to see lhe musician throw up his hands and fall to the floor. Physicians said he was suffering from morphine pois­ oning. He died a few hours later. A coroner's jury brought in a verdict that death was due to morphine taken while Larsen was intoxicated from liquor obtained at the hotel bar ix?fore he came to the saloon. The case was tried in December, but the jury disagreed. END MRS.

But the blow fell short, and the rotten wood shat­ tered on the ground. Again Win­ thrope ran aside for a stick. There was none near, and as he paused to glance about, Blake came sprinting down the glade. “Where T' he shouted. "There—Hi! look out! You’ll be on him!” Blake stopped short, barely beyond •triking distance of the hissing rep­ tile. "Wow!" he yelled. "Puff adder! JU fix him.” He leaped back, and thrust his bow at the snake. The challenge was met by a vicious lunge. ‘ Even where be stood Winthrope heard the thud of the reptilo’s head upon the ground. "Now, once more, tootale!" mocked Blake, swinging up bis club. Again the adder struck at the bow tip, more viciously than before. With the flash of the stroke. Brake's right foot thrust forward, and his club came down with all the drive of hia •tnewy arm behind it The blow fell across the thickest part of the adder's outstretched, body. "Told you sol See him wiggle!" shouted Blake. "Broke his back, first lick— What's the matter. Miss Jen­ ny? He can't do anything now.' Miss Leslie did not answer, She stood rigid, her face ashy-gray, her dilated eyes fixed upon the writhing, hissing adder. "I think the snake struck her!” gasped Winthrope. suddenly overcome with horror. "God!" cried Blake. He dropped his Club, and rushed to the girl. In a mo­ ment'he had knelt before and flung up her leopard-skin skirt. Her stock­ ings ripped to shreds in his frantic grasp. There, a little below her right knee, was a tiny, red wound. Blake put his Ups to it, and sucked wish fierce energy. Then the girl found her voice. ■‘Go away—go How- dare _ away! _ you!” she cried, as her face flushed Blake turned, spat, and burst opt with a loud demand of Winthrope: "Quick! the little knife—I'll have to slash-It! Ten times worse than a rat­ tlesnake— Lord! you’re slow—I’ll use mine!" ’’Lei go of me—let go! What do you mean, sir?” cried the girl, struggling to free herself. "Hold still, you little fool!” he shouted. “It’s death—sure death. If I don’t get the poison from that bite!" "I'm not bitten— Let go, I say! It struck in the fold of my skirt.” "For God's sake, Jenny, don’t He! It’s certain death! I saw the m^rk—" ’ "That was a thom. I drew it out an hour ago." Blake looked up Into her hazel eyes. They were blazing with Indignant scorn. He freed her, and rose with clumsy slowness. Again he glanced at her quivering, scarlet face, only to look away with a sheepish expression. “I guess you think I’m just a damned meddlesome idiot," he mum­ Med. She did not answer. He stood for a little, rubbing a finger" across his sun-blistered lips. Suddenly he stopped and looked at the finger. It was streaked with blood. ’’Whew!" he exclaimed. ’’Didn’t stop to think of that! It’s just cs well for me. Miss Jenpy, that wasn’t an ad­ der bite. A little poison cn my sore lip would have done for me. Ten to one, we’d both have turned up our toes at the same time. Of course, though, that'd be nothing to you.” Miss Leslie put her hands before her face and burst into hysterical weeping. Blake looked around, far more alarmed than when facing the adder. “Here, you blooming lud!" he shout­ ed; "take the lady away, and be quick •bout 1L She’ll go dotty if she sees any more snake stunts. Clear out with her, while I smash the wriggler.” Winthrope, who had been staring fixedly at the beautiful coloring and loathsome form of the writhing adder, started at Blake’s harsh command as though struck. and darting around to the hysterical girl, he took her arm and hurried her away up the glade. They had gone several paces when Blake came running up behind them. Winthrope looked back with a glance of inquiry. Blake shook his head. “Not yet ” be said. “Give me your Cigarette rase. I’ve thought of some­ thing— Hold on; take out the cigar­ ettes. Smoke ’em. If you like.” Case in hand, Blake returned to the wounded adder, and picked up his club. A second smashing blow would have ended the matter at once; but Blake did not strike. Instead, be feinted with his club until he managed When, half an hour later, he wiped his knife on a wisp of grass and stood up, the cigarette case contained over a tablcsjxxmful of -a crystalline liquid. He peered in at It, hit heavy jaw thrust out, his eyes glowing with sav­ age elation. Talk about your meat trusts and Winchesters!" he excited; "here’s a whole carload of beef in this little box —enough dope to morgue a herd of steers. Good God, though, that was a close shave for her!" His face sobered, and he stood for several moments staring thoughtfully into space. Then his gaxe chanced to fall upon the great crimson blossom which had so nearly lured the girl to her death. “Hello!’: he exclaimed; "that’s an amaryllis. Wonder if she wasn’t com­ ing to pick it—’’ He snapped shut the lid of the cigarette case, thrust it carefully Into his shirt pocket, and stepped forward to pluck the flower. "Makes a fellow feel like a kid; but maybe it’ll make her fee] less sore at me." He stood gazing at the flower for several momenta, his eyes aglow with a soft blue light. “Whew!" be sighed; "if only— But what’s the use? She's ’way out of my class—a rough brute like me! All the same, it's up to me to take care of her. She can't keep me from being her friend—and she sure can’t abject to my picking flowers for her." Amaryllis tn hand, he gathered up his bow and club. Then be paused to study the skin dt the decapitated adder. The inspection ended with a shake of his bead. "Better not, Thomas. It would make a dandy quiver; but then, li might get on her nerves." , When he came to the ant-hill, he found companions and honey alike gone. He went on to the cocoanuta. There he came upon Winthrope stretched flat beside the skin of hon­ ey. Miss Leslie was seated a little way beyond, nervously bending a palm-leaf into shape for a haL "I say, Blake,” drawled Winthrope, "you've been a deuced long time in coming. It was no end of a task to lug the honey—" Blake brushed past without reply­ ing. and went on until he stood before the girl. As she glanced up at him, he held out the crimson blossom. "Thought you might like posies," he said, in a hesitating voice. Instead of taking the flower, she drew back with a gesture of repul­ sion. “Oh. take it away!” she exclaimed. Blake flung the rejected gift on the ground, and crushed it beneath hia heel. "Catch me making a fool of myself again!" he growled. "I—I did not mean it that way— really 1 didn't. Mr. Blake. It was the thought of that awful snakek” But Blake, cut to the quick, had turned away far too angry to heed what she said. He stopped short be­ side the Englishman; but only to sling the skin of honey upon hia back. The load was by no means a light one. even for his strength. Yet he caught up the heavy pot as well, and made off across the plain at a pace which the others could not hope to equal. As Winthrope rose and came for­ ward to join Miss Leslie, he looked about closely for the bruised flower. It was nowhere in sight. "Er—beg pardon. Miss Genevieve, but did not Blake drop the bloom— er—blossom somewhere about here?" "Perhaps he did.” replied Miss Les­ lie. She spoke with studied indiffer­ ence. "I—ah—saw the fellow exhibit his impudence." ,. , . ”Ye-«s?" "You know, I think it high time the bounder is taken down a peg." "Ah, indeed! Then why do you not try it?" "Miss Genevieve! you know that at present I am physically so much his Inferior—" "How about mentally?" Though the girl's eyes were veiled by their lashes, she saw Winthrope cast after Blake a look that seemed to her almost fiercely vindictive. "Well?” she said, smiling, but watch­ ing him closely. “Mentally!—We’ll soon see about that!" be muttered. "I must say. Miss Genevieve, it strikes me as deuced odd, you know, to hear you speak so pleas­ antly of a person who—not to mention past occurrences—has to-day. with the most shocking disregard of—-er—de­ cency—" "Stop!—stop this instant!" screamed the girl, her nerves overwrought Winthrope smiled with complacent assurance. "My dear young lady," he drawled, "allow me to repeat: 'All is fair In love and war.’ Believe me, I love you most ardently." “No gentleman would press his suit at such a time as this!" "Really now, I fancy I have always comported myself as a gentleman—" "A trifle too much so, truth to say!” she retorted. . “Ah. indeed. However, thia is now quite another matter. Has it not oc­ curred to you, my dear, that this entire experience of ours since that: beastly storm is rather—er—compromising?" "You—you dare say such a thing! 1’11 go this instant and tell Mr. Blake! "Oh, Indeed I" "One moment, please! I am trying to intimate to you, as delicately as pos­ sible, how—er—embarrassing you would find it to have these little oc­ currences—above all. to-day’,—noised abroad to the yulgar crowd, or even among your frienda—■" "What do you mean? What do you want?” cried the girl, staring at him with a deepening fear in her bewil­ dered eyes. ' "Believe me. my dear, it grieves me to so perturb you; but—er—love must have Its way, you know." "You forget. There is Mr. Blake." "Ah. to be sure! But really now. you would not ask, or even permit him to murder me; sad one is not legally’ bound, you know, to observe prom­' ises—a pledge of sllenck, for example' 1 —when extorted under duress, under’ violence, you know.” . Miss Leslie looked the Englishman1 up and down, her brown eyes spar­ kling with quick-returning anger. He• met her scorn with a smile of smug1 complacency. . "Cad!” she cried, and turning her bfcck upon him, she set out across the plain after Blake. CHAPTER XVIII. The Eavesdropper Caught. VEN had it not been for her doubts at Blake, the girl's modesty would have caused her to think iwlc< before repeating to him the Englishman’s insulting pro­ posal. While she yet hesitated and delayed. Winthrope came down with a second attack of fever. Blake, who until then had held himself sullenly apart from him m well as from Miss Leslie, at once softened to a'gentler, or, at least, to a more considerate mood. Though hlj speech and bearing continued morose, he took upon him­ self all the duties of night nurse, be­ sides working and foraging several Lours each day. Much to Miss Leslie’s surprise, she found herself tending the invalid through the daytime almost as though nothing had happened. But everything about this wild and perilous life was so strange and unnatural to her that she found herself accepting the most unconventional relations as a regular consequence of the Bltuatlon. She was feverishly eager for anything that might occupy her mind; for she felt that to brood over the future might mean madness. The mere thought of the possibilities was far too terrifying to be calmly dwelt upon. Though slight, there had been some little com­ fort In the belief that she could rely on Winthrope. But now she was left alone with her doubt and dread. Evon If she had nothing to fear from Blake, there were all the savage dangers of the coast, and behind those, far worse, the fever. Meantime Blake went about his shdre of the camp work, gruff and si­ lent. but with the usual concrete re­ sults. He brought load after load of fresh cocoanuts, and took great pains to hunt out the deliciously flavored eggs of the frigate birds to tempt Winthrope’s failing appetite. When Miss Leslie suggested that beef Juice would be much better for the Invalid than broth be went out Immediately In search of a gum-bearing tree, and that night, after heating a small quantity of gum in the cigarette case with the adder poison, he spent hours replacing his arrow-heads with small barbed tips that could be loosened from their sock­ ets by a slight* pull. A little before dawn he dipped two of his new arrow-heads in the sticky contents of the cigarette case, fitted them carefully to their shafts and stole away down the cleft Dawn found-him crouched low iii the grass where the overflow from the pool ran out Into the plain along its little channel. He could see large forms moving away from him; then came the flood of crim­ son light and he made out that the figures were a drove of huge eland. His eyes flashed with eagerness. It was a long shot; but he knew that no more was required than to pierce the skin on any part of hta quarry's body. He put bis fingers between his teeth and sent out a piercing whistle. It was a trick he had tried more than once on deer and pronghorn antelope. As he expected, the eland halted and swung half around. Their ox-like sides presented a mark hard to miss. He rose and shot as they were •heeling to fly. Before he could fit his second arrow to the string Hie whole herd were running off at a lumbering gallop. He lowered his bow and walked after the animals, smiling with grim anticipation. He had seen his arrow strike against the side of the young bull at which he had aimed. A little beyond where the bull stood he came upon the headless shaft of his arrow. As he stooped and caught it up he saw one of the fleeing animals fall. When he came up with the dead bull his first act was to recover his arrow-tip and cut out the flesh.around the wound. Provided only with his weak-bladed knife, he found it no easy task to butcher so large a beast. Though he had now acquired consid­ erable dexterity in the art, noon bad passed before he brought the first load of meat uo the cleft. “Begging your pardon, madam—but (To beContinued.) are you prepared to marry that bar­ ECZEMA IS NOW CURABLE. barous clodhopper?” "Marry?

That's what we are offering you today— what we have been giving you for six years, and it is yours to get in the future at this popular store. . These are not mere words, not mere rhetorical flourish. They are hard business fact*. We claim to give better value, that is, better goods for tbe money. But the burden of proof is on you.

In the lat­ ter position Mrs. Taft learned the re­ quirements of Washington society and at the same' time she became an inti­ mate of Mrs. Roosevelt, and from her learned the detailed operation of White House etiquette. It was from this Intimacy to which is added a 'thorough discussion and mature consideration that Mrs. Taft Is to-day in full possession of the de­ tailed requirements of her position, has reached her own conclusions, and Is already making the minor changes in the administration of tbe executive mansion necessary to meet her Ideas.

The reason given is that the wealthy men, to whom those positions usually go, are hard up. They have been hit by the panic, and succeeding depres­ sions. Their business affairs are re­ quiring their close attention and they are unable to give the time and bear the expense which the first-class posi­ tions involve. Fairbanks for England.

Straus Going to Japan. While the information is unofficial, ft is understood to be almost definitely settled that former Secretary Straus of the department of commerce and la­ bor will be appointed ambassador to Japan. It Is well known to those in touch with Mr. Straus that he leans toward a diplomatic ccareer and the position of ambassador to Japan would appeal strongly to him. While he was secretary of commerce and labor he had largely to do with the Japanese Immigration question. Mr. Straus has reached no definite conclu­ sion, but It is not unlikely that a for­ mal announcement of his appointment to some Important diplomatic post will be made In the near future. _ New-York has three ambassadors at present. They afS Whitelaw Raid,-at. London; Charles S. Francis of Trey at Vienna, and David Jayne Hill at Ber­ lin. Of these. Dr. Hill is regarded as the one most likely to be retained, chiefly because he has been there only a short time, has distinctly made good, and took the post under embarrassing circumstances. That Mr. Reid will re­ main in London is thought altogether | unlikely, unless the poverty of the wealthy men should make it difficult to Interest the right man in the post. Another Hoosier Named.

Farmers of -'Baltimore township, south of Hastings, are puzzled over a phenomenon on the farm of C. J. Thomas, a pioneer farmer of the town­ ship. Some declare that it Is natural gas discharging steadily from the ground. Mr. Thomas recently drove a well 100 feet through hard clay. In order to bring a flow of water to the pipe several pounds of dyna­ mite were exploded at the bottom of the pipe. Shortly afterward Mr. Thomas was attracted by a hissing sound near his house and not far from the well. He searched for the cause and discovered that it came from a small fissure in the ground, from which a kind of gas* was escaping, throwing forth a not .offensive odor. The gas continues to pour out steadily. As Mr. Thomas* farm house is only a few feet from the hole, he feared to touch a match to the gas to see if it is the genuine article. Mr. Thomas will have an investigation made. of all the Russia* ever held more absolute sway than be. Tbe mayor of tbe town, the general superinten­ alike to him.

His first job was carrying water for a work train which had its beadquarters here. He was leisurely about obtaining the water supply and the foreman fired him. A little while after the boss was surprised to see Polly coming with another pail of water, and he went after him hot blocks, to know why he was working after being fired. Polly unconcerned­ ly replied, with his funny stutter. w-w-when I got a g-g-good j-j-job. and I’m go-go going to k-k-keep ft." And the boss was so a’nused at the ready wit that Polly stayed on tbe job. Polly afterwards hustled freight and baggage at the station here, and while, no one ever saw him hurry, his work was always satisfactorily done. He was a walking encyclopedia of railroad knowledge. He knew the time -of arrival and departure of every train from every station in Michigan. He knew all about the various connections, and he had tbe various railroad systems of the county down pat. < me never needed a time table or railroad guide when Polly was around. The one thing tha’t encompassed his downfall in railway circles Always was the same thing— lese majesty. He would sweetly and poetically cuss the superintendent or the general manager as quickly ns he would a section hand. They all look­ ed alike to him. Consequently he could not rise. Bui* that made no difference to Polly. Job or no job, he was happy. He never was known to miss a meal. One time he found himself dead broke at Lansing. He strutted inio the Downey house as big as the governor, walked into the dining room, gave the waiter his sweetest smile, which never failed, and loaded his stomach to its capac­ ity. Then he walked out to the office and announced to the clerk bis read­ iness to be kicked out. He didn’t get kicked hard enough to hurt him any, and he go^ away with a dinner fit for a prince. Just now lie is visittngfriends ln Nashville and around the town, and wherever he goes he is more then welcome, for he counts his friends by hundreds. His ready wit and quaint humor are contagious and always insure him a hearing wherever he goes. Polly says he is coming up again in August to Nashville’s Home Coming week and Harvest Festival if be has to throw up a job as general manager of the New Y’ork Central lines to do so. Long live “Polly” Parker, and may his shadow never grow less. . OBITUARY. Mrs. Drusilla Beigh Feighnerpassed away at the home of her son-in-law, O. M.

Blake promised to make more pots as soon as he could fetch the clay, but he had first to dress the eland'hide and prepare a new stock of thread and cord from parts;of the animal which be was careful -not to let her see. Whatever their concern for the fu­ ture—and even Blake’s was keen and bitter—tbe party, as a party, for the time being might'have been considered extremely fortunate. They had a shel­ ter secure alike from the weather and from wild beasts; an abundance of nutritious food, and, as material for • clothing, the bushbuck, hyena and eland hides. To obtain more skins and more meal Blake now knew would be a simple matter so long as he had enough poison taft in the cigarette case to moisten the tips of his ar- Even Winthrope*!-relapse proved far less serious than might reasonably have been expected. The fever soon left him and within .a lew days he re­ gained strength enough to care for himself. Here, however, much to Blake's perplexity and ccmcern, his progress seemed to stop, and all Blake's urging could de -no more than cause him to move languidly from one shady spot to another. He would re­ ceive Blake's orders with a smile and then absolutely ignore the matter. ■ Only In two ways did the invalid ex­ hibit any signs of energy. He could and did cat with a heartiness little short of that shown by Blake.and he would insist upon 'seeking bppdfHinitiog to press his attentions upon .Miss Leslie. He was careful to avoid an offensive remarks; yet the veriest commonplace from his lips was now an offense to the girl. While he needed her as nurse she had endured his talk as part of her duty. But now she felt that she could no longer do so. Taking ad­ vantage of a time when the English­ man was, as she supposed, enjoying a noonday siesta down -towards the barricade, she went to meet Blake, who had been up on the cliff for eggs. “Hello!" he sang out, as he swung down the tree, one hand gripping the qlay pot In which he had gathered the eggs. “What you doing out in the sun? Get into the shade.” She stepped into the shade and waited until he had climbed down tbe pile of stones which he had built for steps at the foot of the tree. “Mr. Blake,” she began, "could not I do this work—gather the eggs?" Tou could. If I'd let you. Miss Jenny. But it strikes me you’ve got quite enough to do. Tell you the truth, I’d like to make Win take it in hand again.

"Is he really so weak?” she mur­ mured. “Well, you know how— Say, ytu don't mean that you think he's shamT did not say that I thought ao, Mr. Blake. I do. not care to talk about him. What I wish Is that you will let me attend to this work." "Couldn't think of it Mlgs Jenny! You're already doing your share." "Mr. Blake—if you must know—I wish to have a place where I can go Blake scowled. “Alone with that dude! He'd soon find enough strength to climb up with you on the cliff." T—ah—Mr. Blake, ♦ould he be apt to follow me. If I told yon distinctly I should .rather be alone?" • "Would he? Well, I should rather guess not!” cried Blake, making no attempt to conceal bis delight. *T11 give him a hint that'll make his hair curl. From now on, nobody climbs up this tree but you, without first ask­ ing your permission.” Thank you, Mr. Blake! You are very kind.” "Kind to let you do more work! But say. I'll help out all I can on.the other work. You know, Miss Jenny—a rough fellow like me don't know how to say It, but he can think it Just the same—I'd do anything In the world Tor you!" As he spoke, he held out his rough, powerful hand. She shrank back a little and caught ter breath in sud­ den fright But when she met his steady gaze, her fear left her as quick­ ly as it had come. She impulsively thrust out her hand and he seized it in a grip that brought the tears to her "Miss Jenny! Miss Jenny!" he mur­ mured. utterly unconadoas that he was hurting her, “you know now that You •ham Gant!" stupidity, “do you really mean that? Can you forgive me for being so con­ founded meddlesome the other day after the snake—" He stopped short for upon the In­ stant she was facing him, as on that eventful day, scarlet with shame and anger. "How dare you -speak of it?” she cried. '‘You’re—you're not a gentle­ man 1" Before he cotfid reply she turned and left him, walking rapidly and with her head held high. Blake stared after her In bewilderment "Well, what tn—what in thunder have I done now?" lhe exclaimed.' "La­ dies are certainty mighty funny! To go off at a tom®—and Just when I thought we were going to be chums! But then, of course, I’ve'the whole thing to learn about .nice girls—like her!” "I—ah—must certainly agree with you there. Blake," drawled Winthrope, from beside the nearest bush. Blake turned upon him with savage fury: "You dirty sneak!—you gentle­ man! You've been eavesdropping!" The Englishman’s yellow face paled to a sallow mottled gray. He had seen the same look tn Blake's eyes twice before, nnd this time 'Blake was far moje angry. "You sneak!—you sham gent!" re­ peated the American, his voice sink­ ing ominously. Winthrope (flipped in an abjeqt heap, as though Blake had struck him with his club. "No. no!" he protested, shrilly. "I am a real—I am—I’m a not—" "That’s it—you're a not! That's true!’’ broke in Blake, with sudden grim humor. "You're a nothing. A fellow can't even wipe his shoes on nothing!" Tbe change to sarca&m came as an Immense relief to Winthrope. "Ah, I say now, Blake." he drawled, pulling together h!k assurance tbe In­ stant tbe dangerous light left Blake's eyes. "I say, now, do you think tt fair to pick on a man who is so much your 'That's It—do the'baby act," Jeered Blake. "But say. I don't know jnet how much eavesdropping you did; so there's one thing I'll repeat for the special benefit of your ludship. It'll be good for your delicate health to pay attention. From now on, the cliff top belongs to Miss Leslie. Gents and book agents not allowed. Understand? You don’t go up there without her spe­ cial invite. If you do, 1’11 twist your damned neck!" He turned on his heel and left the Englishman cowering. Wlnthrope’s presence would have been a relief to the girl; yet she could not go to waken him, or even suggest that her companion do so. * Blake sat throughout the meal sullen and stolid, and carefully avoided meeting, her gaxe. Before they had finished, twi­ light had come and gone, and night was upon them. Yet she lingered fur a last attempt "Good-night, friend!” she whispered. .He sprang up as though she had struck -hkn -and blundered away Into the darkness. In the morning It. was as before. He had gone off before she wakened. She lingered over breakfast; but he did not appear, and she could not endure Wlnthrope’s suave drawl. She went for another day on the headland. She returned somewhat earlier than on the previous day. As before, Win­ thrope was dosing In the shade. Bat Blake was under the baobab, raking together a heap of rubbish. His hands were scratched and bleeding. To the girl's surprise, -he met her with a cheerful grin and a clear, direct glance. "Look here,” he called. She stepped around tbe baobab and stood staring. The entrance, from the ground to the height of 12 feet, was walled up with a mass of thorny branches, interwoven with yet thorn­ ier creepers. “How’s that for a front door?" he demanded. "Door?" "But it’s so big. I could never move IL" "A child could. Look." He grasped a projecting handle near the bottom of the thorny mass. The lower half of the door swung up and outward, the upper half in and downward. "Bee, it’s balanced on a crossbar In tbe middle. Come on in." She walked after him in under the now horizontal door. He gave the In­ ner end a light upward thrust, and the door swung back In its vertical circle until It again stood upright in the opening.

Four of them seek* to repeal lawa for tbe Incorporation of certain companies which have been In existence for many years but which have never been taken advantage of. Two of the bills, call for the repeal of laws allowing the incorporation of mutual companies to insure live stock and plate glass. There are no such companies now in existence, all of them having failed, which necessi­ tated their affairs being wound up by receivers at the expanse of the mem­ bers. , Two of the bills seek to repeal laws for the incorporation of mutual provi­ dent associations and mutual benefit societies whose membership is con­ fined to a single city. Tbe former law was enacted 20 years ago 'and the first organization thereunder was affected last year. These laws do not require companies organized thereunder to have a penny of assets and they pro­ vide a means of evading other laws which far better safeguard the insur­ ing public. The rights of companies already organized thereunder are pre­ served in the proposed bills. The ninth bill amends section 22 of the mutual fire insurance- law so as to limit the operation of such companies organized hereafter.

Quick iii di Before turning to Vancouver and the Canadian Northwest finally, it may be well to review the substance of the first article in a paragraph or two.1 Primarily it should be the busi­ ness .of every citizen who has the fortune and future of his country at heart, to battle with all his force and acumen against the complete deforest­ ation of the United States. When the bare and ugly slashings of Michigan are viewed now, and the thought is considered that the other wooded states are sharing the same fate; that three limes as much timber is being cut. now as in 1880 when Michigan was green and fragrant with the fair­ est pine ever grown—the time is fully ripe for rousing action. Following is a conservative estimate of the length of time that will be re­ quired to strip the states of all access­ ible timber at lhe present rate of con­ sumption: The present forest areas -approx­ imate 600million acres. Considering all drains, the annual consumption of wood-stuffs is three times the growth. Assuming that the present stand of tiinlier at a maximum figure is 2000 billion board feet: also assuming that the annual growth is 40 billion board ■ feet—the present stand of timber in the United States will l>e exhausted in 33 years. The colossal havoc that would arise from the complete deforestation of this county is’ being impressed mightily now upon the people through the daily and periodical press: but from an investor's point of view, there is the added dominant commercial fact that the remaining high-grade timber properties in the United States are nelil at a price practically unpurchasabl.e today. Thus ethically and commercially the virgin forests of Vancouver and the Canadian Northwest are among the first and most vital needs of our civil­ ization. The grandest stand of timber in the North American continent to-day is in lower half of the Island of Van­ couver. Even temperature and ex­ cessive moisture is the cause of these perfect forests of fir. cedar and spruce. The southern portion of the island averages a width of fifty miles with salt water on either side. The climate is protected from extremes of heat by the sea winds, and from extremes of cold by the tempering Japan current which Wings a season of mists and rain instead of a stiff northern winter and keeps the land moist and richly productive in summer through a heavy fall of dews. The splendor of these Vancouver forests can only l»e suggested.

To ye^ik a forty foot log. three times a man’s height through, from its socket jn the forest to a railroad is a brand of calisthenics which even a donkey engine sweats over: and while the thing can be done, it is not without many shriek* of pro­ test to high heaven from the hot meta) on the tracks. These giants are frequently split by dynamite now after being felled, to facilitate transportation. Sometimes they present such a formidable prob­ lem to the logger that they are allowed to remain for a future glean­ ing. The writter saw one of these in lower Vancouver. Stripped of itscompanions, the fir Colossus seemed an eighth wonder of th- world. Near-by was a gnarled and twisted deformity, half the monarch’s height, some blight upon its summit so that its main system of branches was like an upstretched hand with black and broken lingers. Standing in the clearing, in the dusk of a tempestuous late after­ noon, these two whipped by the wind were a startling reminder of old Lear and his faithful fool, The great commercial value lies less in the old bulls of these sylvan herds, than in the younger and lesser K*>wth, the average of the stand. ese run from four to eight feet through at the base and raise straight and branchless to the height of 150 feet and upward. Such trees would be far-heralcled Titans east of the Rocky mountains, but among the best timber stands of Vancouver island they are tbe “run”—the choice and reckon­ able trunksyielding four or more forty foot logs. The actual amount of accessible timber in Vancouver and the Canadian Northwest is known. About a year ago, the Ottawa legislature stopped granting licences, reserving the sec­ tions not already given out for na­ tional forests. So that there is no more staking out of timber claims and assuming, practical ownership for the payment of an annual fee of one hundred and forty dollars the section. The choice cuts of woodland must bfe bought now from the original claim­ holders or individuals to whom they have disposedoftheirproperties. For instance, the Michigan Pacific Lumber Company of Grand Rapids, holds nearly thirty-three thousand acres in Vancouver Island—two billion and a half board feet of virgin fir, spruce, cedar and hemlock. Though Michigan has lost her finest timber, the breed of lumbermen is still high and mighty among the cap­ italists of the state. It is hard to tell the sons of the old Wolverine lumber) kings that a well-located piece of tim­ ber is not the safest and richest in­ vestment in the world to-day. Love:—The insane desire on the part of a young man to pay a girl's board and buy her clothes; a tickling sensation of the heart which cannot be scratched. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.

MANURE SPREADERS The importance of barnyard fertilizer is becoming better recognized every year. The ideal, in fact the only good way to apply this to the soil is by the use of the manure spreader. Farm papers, Agri­ cultural colleges and the U. S. Agricultural Department all unite in saying that a spreader will pay for itself in decreased labor and increased fertility and in the saving of manure by thinner spreading. I can sell you the entire machine or a wagon box spreader. Call and see me. First door north of Farmers & Mer­ chants bank. Don’t Need Help. Four-year-old Helen wished to get into the play-room, but the gate (which had been put at the door to keep her baby brother in) was locked.

The resolution was a substitute for one offered by Mr. Clark of Mis­ souri. Democrat* and "insurgents." Its adoption was accomplished only after the "Insurgents,’’ with the aid of the Democrats, with one or two excep­ tions, had won a decided preliminary victory by voting down a resolution by Mr. Dalzell of Pennsylvania, making the unamended rules of the Sixtieth congress applicable to those of the present congress. Mr. Clark and Mr. Dalzell had a war of words and Mr. Fitxgerald was drawn Into a colloquy with Mr. Clark, who de­ sired him to yield for a question. . Changes In Rules, As analyzed by parliamentarians, the amendment makes three Important changes. First, tt establishes a “calen­ dar for unanimous consent," the effect of which Is to enable a member to have a proposition brought before tbe bouse without having to go to the speaker for recognition. This change, they say, will be a relief to the speaker. Second, when consideration of a bill is con­ cluded and the previous question is or­ dered the rules heretofore have pro­ vided for a motion to commit with or without instructions. It has been the practice to recognize a member of the majority party to make this motion and thus prevent the minority from offering such instructions as it may desire.' The new rule gives the minority the preference in making such a mo­ tion and thus enables them to get a record vote on propositions which would otherwise be settled in commit­ tee of the whole house, where no rec­ ord. vote is possible. Third, it protects the calendar Wednesday- bj’ requiring a two-thirds instead of a majority vote to set it aside. Fourth, It is also claimed that the amendment will have the effect of preventing favoritism by the action of the committee on rules in special cases. Calls It Blow for Bryan. Speaker Cannon says W. J. Bryan had Interfered in the interest of the changes submitted by Mr. Clark. The speaker spoke of tbe adoption of the Fitzgerald substitute as a triumph over the Bryan forces. "It was.” he said, ,ra protest by .the conservatives against populism and all kindred things." Speaker Cannon was re-elected, re­ ceiving 204 votes as against 166 for Clark, 8 for Cooper of Wisconsin, 2 for Norris of Nebraska, and one each for Esch of Wisconsin and W. P. Hepbnrn of Iowa, an ex-member. All the Demo­ crats voted for Clark, so that the scat­ tering vote represented the Republican defection from Cannon. La Follette May Fight Stephenson. The action of Mr. La Follette In pre senting to the senate tbe credentials of Mr. Btephenaon and In accompany­ ing him to the desk of the vice-presi­ dent to take the oath of office as United States senator yesterday Is without significance as to the course that may ultimately be taken by Mr. La Follette concerning • any contest that may be determined upon orer the question of the regularity of the ac­ tion of the Wisconsin legfs’fttnre.

Oyster Bay, N. Y., Mar. 15.—Former President Roosevelt to-day entered upon the final week of preparation tor the Roosevelt-Smithsonian African ex­ pedition. It will be a busy week, as considerable packing of tbe personal outfits of Mr. Roosevelt and his son Kermit remains to be done, and busi­ ness affairs of the former president also will require some of his time. These latter matters will be set in order in anticipation of at least a twoyears’ absence abroad. Farewells to numerous friends and relatives are to be said and a visit to Hoboken is con­ templated to Inspect the party’s quar­ ters aboard the steamer and see that the outfit of the expedition is safely stowed away where it can be quickly reached and transshipped at Naples. • To Have Family Reunion. One day of the wevx’ will be devoted to a family reunion at Sagamore Hill. There will be numerous boxes and trunks to pack with articles, compris­ ing the personal effects of Mr. Roose­ velt and Kermit. Each has provided himself with a large supply of clothing for tropical wear. Mr. Roosevelt has more than a dozen pairs of shoes and boots of leather and rubber. Some are hob-nailed and others rubber-soled. They range from the ordinary styles to those with tops extending above tho knees. Khaki cloth is the princi­ pal material from which the outer clothing of Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit is made. Several suits made from waterproof material are Included in each outfit Great Care of Rifles. The rifle* of Mr. Roosevelt and his son will receive more care than any­ thing else In their equipment These are inclosed in special cases made completely water-tight Tbe photo­ graphic kit of tho expedition, of which Kermit Roosevelt has charge, he being the official photographer, is a model of its kind. The young man is very proud of it and feels that the photographs he is to make are to be of as great impor­ tance os the specimens of animals his father will shoot for the National museum. These photographs will form a scientific collection of themselves. The steamer Hamburg, on which the members of the expedition will make the first leg of their trip, will reach Hoboken toward the latter part of the week, and Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit accompanied probably by Mrs. Roose­ velt and Miss Ethel, will look over the staterooms and. also see that every­ thing is carefully placed In a safe and accessible position Ln the hold. ' During the latter part of this week Mr. Roosevelt’s son, Theodore, Jr., who is employed at Thompsonville, Conn.; Archibald, who is attending school at Groton, Mass., and Quentin, now at the Episcopal high school, Alexandria, Va., will come home to attend a family reunion. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, Mr. Roosevelt’s eldest daughter, also is expected at Sagamore Hill. Judge Is Scored by Labor.

Ind., Mar. 15.—It is feared to-day that at least lour of the 160 persons who were poisoned Satur­ day night by eating meat served at the banquet given to celebrate the one hundredth anniversary of the local Masonic lodge, will die. Local physicians and several called from near-by towns and cities have been battling for hours to save the victims, many of whom dropped in their homes and several In the streets and public places after being poisoned. Those in the most serious condition are Frank S. Serve, former jhdge of the circuit court of Lawrenceville, Ill.; B. D. Eltmun of Evansville and A. 8. Sampson of Owensboro, Ky. Soon after tho banquet, which was held early in the evening. tho victims of the poison in tbe'meat felt its first effects. Those who were strangers in ■Vincennes and who congregated in the hotel lobbies, began failing one by one to the floor. Many Stricken In Homes. Residents of the town who had gone home were stricken there. Others fell writhing where they walked or stood in the streets. Within an hour more than a hundred persons had been seised with Illness,' the most seriously affected losing consciousness. Every available physician was sum­ moned to care for those who were first to feel tbe effects of tbe poison. As the others fell bj' the score they were forced to suffer agonies without relief until tbe first cases could be cared for. Several of those who are now in a serious condition might have been saved from danger by Immediate med­ ical attention. Through . the night the physicians worked to save the lives of those who had eaten of the meat From one house to another and from hotel to hotel the)- rushed, sometimes only be­ ing abie to give temporary relief. Hotels Become Hospitals. Some of the guests at the banquet had returned to their homes In near-by towns, and a call for physicians to these places brought the answer that they themselves were unable to care for all the cases brought to their at­ tention. Twenty victims were at once rushed to the hospital here, where they were cared for. Two of the hotels were turned into temporary hospices for the stricken. Women volunteered to act as nurses for those who bad no families to care for them. It is believed that many cases, less serious, will yet be reported. There were 20C or more at the banquet and nearly all partook of the meat Bits of the meat left from the ban­ quet will be analyzed at once and an effort made to And where the blame lies.

COMMUNICATION. To the village president and com­ mon council, and the people of this vicinity who have dear friends laid away in Lakeview cemetery. None of us know how soon we may lie laid away. (Many exf us have dear ones there: 1 myself have one, my better half, the dearest one of my life.) I think we should do all we canto beau­ tify that spot, both in work and in a financial way, and not merely think about it or wail for others to go ahead. If I should live long I will walk there a good many limes and have had some little experience this winter walking in the mud, except on the cinder walk, which I have found dry and all right. Will the village not save cinders and put a cinder walk from the Lentz table factory to Mrs. Simmons' barn, then cross the street and complete the walk along lhe east side of*the street to the cemetery? That would be good enough now until the affairs of the village are in better shape, and would lie u vast improvement over what we now have. A. R. Wolcott. Member Cemetery Committee. AN OPPORTUNE TIME TO BUILD. In an interview with Mr. Northrop, ’ manager of the Nashville Lumber Co., as to conditions now prevailing In the1 lumber trade, lie stated that in his I opinion there hud not been a better time in years to build than lhe pres­ ent, as labor was plentiful, and pric­ es for material were low, with the prospect that they would remain -.6. and that he had bought plenty of stock at these ■ rices for the season. He also stated that he was feeling especially pleased, from the fact that; he had just secured lhe order for a i large hill of lumber for the Lentz Table Co. for the addition to their factory. It seems there were several outside bidders for this contract, but that in spite of that fact, their prices were the lowest, and owing to their superior facilities for buying, they could and did Iwat all con>|ietitioD. They have secured several other nice contracts for spring delivery. We believe there is no better place to buy lumber than .of the Nashville Lumber Co. REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

The dominion government placed an embargo on shipments of cattle, sheep, swine, horses, hay, straw and fresh meat, November 2 last, just after the discovery of the out-break of the hoof and mouth disease of Livon­ ia township. The removal of the em­ bargo was announced from Ottawa last Saturday to John A. Smith, col­ lector of customs for the port of Windsor. As at first enforced, the Canadian embargo shut off all shipments of live stock products coming from Michigan, whether originating in this state or merely passing through it. Later the quarantine was modified to the extent of permitting horses, mules and kindred beasts to cross the liorder, and still later it was again re­ laxed to permit the transportation through Canada in sealed cars of live stock, originating outside the five Michigan counties under federal quar­ antine. when these shipments were destined for some point in the United States. The enforcement of Canada’s strin­ gent quarantine against Michigan has cost the railroad companies which cross the bond A* from this state sums which, in the aggregate, probably will not fall far short of 91,000,000. So great was the reduction in the. volume of railroad business that it is said one company alone laid off twenty-eight train crews in Canada soon after the embargo became oper­ ative. Not only were.shipments from Mich­ igan cut off, but the great volume of traffic from Chicago and the west, which had been moving through Mich­ igan into Canada by way of Sarnia, also was forced to seek another out­ let to eastern destinations and a good deal of it was sent by way' of Toledo on all American lines.

Whitney, who sleeps in the rear part of his restaurant on South Main street, was awakened by a choking sensation, ,to find the room filled with a dense smoke. He scram­ bled to his feet and managed to get to the rear door, where 1 he fresh air soon revived him, and he was able to give the alarm. Tl»e department was on hand very promptly, considering the time of the night and the conditions of Um street*, and soon had the tire under control, with comparatively little damage except that the walls of the room and all of the fixtures were badly blistered and the goods render­ ed unsable from smoke and water. The building itself suffered very little/ from the tiames. It it easy to imaging what a difference there "might have been, however, if Whitney had not awakened just as be did, as he would undoubtedly have lost bis life, and others would have been endangered. The building is one of a row of four frame buildings, which would have burned fiercely if the fire had not been promptly controlled. ALFALFA CLUB FORMED. Fifty Barry county farmers who have formed the Barry County Aifalfa club intend to experiment with alfalfa growing i" the county this year and will plant seed as the proper time comes. When the club was organized several months ago each member agreed to plant an acre. Messer brothers at that time promised to award 925 to the person who grew the best acre. During the past week M. H. Burton, president of the club, obtained a large quantity of seed from James Wing, a prominent alfalfa grower of northern Ohio, which he has distributed among members of the club, all of whom are very enthusias­ tic over the project. Most of them will sow only an acre, but Messer brothers will'plant six acres. Mr. Burton, who has great confidence in being able to grow the crop success­ fully in the county will plant 10acres. The experiment will l>e watched by other farmers with great interest. MISS JANE ISABEL TRUMAN.

Furniss The Standard office was made ra­ diant Tuesday evening by the pres­ ence of Miss Jane Isabel Truman, and her coming brought sunshine and gladness, and each of the boys found himself in the presence of the embodi­ ment of all that is pure, innocent and sacred—an infant. Miss Jane Isabel is the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sanford J. Truman, and like all other: babies is the best, the prettiest, the, smartest and the sweetest in all the world. Mr. Truman is the efficient manager of the advertising depart­ ment of The Standard and this was the little babe's first visit down town, and may it not be regarded as a good omen of her future usefulness and high attainments, in that a great newspaper office was the goal of her first visit? May the cherub, she whose pres­ ence gladdens the precincts of a nap­ py home and fills with joy the hearts of the inmates thereof, may she some glad dav reach those lofty' heights of knowledge, virtue and usefulness to which parental love and ambition would have her aspire, is the humble wish of the entire staff.—San Angelo (Texas) Daily Standard. DUCK (NOT FISH) STORY. Dick is the name this time not of a man or of a dog, but of a duck, a big drake mallard living on Mud lake, in Arkansas, and there acting in the capacity of a live decoy to his fellow­ web-footers and friend to duck hunters. “Just as soon as you get in a boat and go after ducks Dick appears,” declares the Nashville Banner on the authority of Brodie Finley, a local sportsman. “He’ll sit up there with til he sees a drove of ducks way off in the distance. Then he'll jump out of the boat into the lake,- get in a good feeding pocket and raise 'a terrible fuss, quacking and flapping his wings. "The duck will decoy right In to him, and it’s easy to get several out of every drove. If they don’t decoy, Dick just gets right up out of the water and goes away. You think he’s got disgusted and gone off with the wild ducas and quit the decoy busi­ ness, but I tell you you don’t know pretty soon he’s ahead of the lead Dick. He goes off. with the ducks and duck and leading the drove himself. “They go on out of sight. You say to yourself, Goodby, Dick, but just wait The first thing you know there comes that big drove of ducks right into the lake from another direction, and the lead duek is Dick. “He’s circled way 'round with the bunch and brought them back to the lake. Before they get in good shoot­ ing distance Dick heads them over us and then he drops out of the drove. Just as soon as you kill 50, the limit, Dick will get out of the water, sit on the seat by yon and won't decoy an­ other duck. That bird beats anything you ever saw.” . -\/ THE WOMAN'S LITERARY CLUB. The Woman's Literary Club held a meeting March 16, at the usual time and place, with the president in charge of the program, which , was as follows: Roll can, “ BrighfSavings of Child­ ren,” caused much laughter. Trio, “A Quadrille”—Mesdames Munroe. Marble ■ and Munton. was brilliantly executed. Does ordinary school drill give a taste for good reading?—Answered by Mrs. Edna Furniss, who thought good reading and a taste/or good literature more a matter of develop­ ment than of drill. “Telling.a story for a Child,” by Mrs. Glasner was an account in rhyme following the bible narrative of earth's oldest story, “The Crea­ tion.” '* A solo, “You Tell Me Your Dream I’ll Tell You Mine”, by Mrs. Cross was well received. "Two Waifs”, a recitation by Mrs. Reynolds, told a pathetic story of a homeless boy who thought a hospital was heaven. A discussion of the topic, “Is the funny paper harmful?”—led by Mrs. Carrie Munroe, returned in a verdict that it is. Mrs. Smith, a guest for the after­ noon, favored us with a beautiful solo. Mention of a vocal duet, “The Home of the Giri You’Love?* by Mesdames Munroe and Francis, was inadvertent­ ly omitted from the report of the last meeting. The next meeting will be held March 30, attheclub rooms. SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.

But be did not draw hfmK.lt up on the cliff. Having satis­ fied himself that Miss Leslie was well out toward the signal, he returned to the baobab and proceeded to examine Blake's door with minute scrutiny. That evening, shortly before dark. Blake came in almost Exhausted by his journey. Few men could have cov­ ered the same ground in twice the time. It had been one continuous round of grass jungle, thorn' scrub, .rocks and swamp.

"Ah!" he drawled: “reafiy now, this ta too kind of him to give us tbe pleas­ ure of his absence all day!" “Ye-es?” murmured Miss Leslie. •Permit me to add that you will also have the pleasure of my absence. I am going now." Wlnthrope looked down, and began to speak very rapidly: "Miss Gen­ evieve. I—I wish to apologize. I’ve thought It over. Tve made a mistake —I—1 mean, my conduct the other day was vile, utterly vile! Permit me to appeal to your considerateness for a man • who has been unfortunate—who, I mean, haa been—er—was carried away by his feelings. Your favoring of that bloom—er—that—er—bounder ao angered me that I—that I—■" "Mr Wlnthrope!" interrupted the gtrl. "I will have’ you to understand that you do not advance yourself in my esteem by such references to Mr. Blake." “Aye! aye, that Blake!" panted Wln­ thrope. “Don’t you see? It’a ’ini, an* that blossom! Wen a man's daffy— w’en 'e’a in love!—" Mias Leslie burst into a nervous laugh; but checked herself on ths inatanL "Really, Mr. Wlnthrope’” she ex­ claimed, “you must pardon ms. I—I •ever knew that cultured Englishmen •ver dropped their h’s. As it happens,' you know. I never saw one excited be­ fore this." “Ah, yes; to be sure—to be sure!" murmured Wlnthrope. In an odd tone. The girl threw out her hand in a lit­ tle gesture of protest. “Really, Fm sorry to have hurt—to have been so thoughtless!" Wlnthrope stood silent. She spoke again: "I’ll do what you ask. I'll make allowances for your—for your feelings towards me and try to forget all you said the other day. Let me begin by asking a favor of you." “Ah, Miss Genevieve, anything, to be •ure, that I may do!" “It Is that 1 wish your opinion. When Mr. Blake finished that absurd door last evening, be would not tell me why he had built It—only a vague state­ ment about my safety.” “Ah! He did not go Into particu­ lars?" drawled Wlnthrope. “No, not even a hint; and he looked co—odd." Wlnthrope slowly rubbed his soft palms one upon the other. “Do you—er—really desire to know his—the motive which actuated him?” he murmured. "I should not have mentioned it to you if I did not,” she answered. “Well—er—” He hesitated and paused for a full minute. “You see. It Is a rather difficult undertaking to intimate such a matter to a lady— just the right touch of delicacy,, you know. But I will begin by explaining that I have known it since the first—” "Known what?” “Of that bound—of—er—Blake's trouble/’ “Trouble?" “Ah! Perhaps I should have said affliction; yes, that is the better word. To own the truth, the fellow has some good qualities. It was no doubt be­ cause he realized, when In bis better moments—" "Better monents? Mr. Wlnthrope, I am not a child. In justice both to my­ self and to Mr. Blake, I must ask you to speak out plainly.", . "My dear Miss Leslie, may I first ask if you have not observed how strange­ ly at times the fellow acts— looks odd,’ as you put it—how he falls into mel­ ancholia or senseless rages? I may truthfully state that he has three times threatened my life." "I—I—thought his anger quite natural, after I had so rudely—and so many people are given to brooding— But if he was violent to. you—" , “My dear Miss Genevieve, I held nothing against tbe miserable fellow. At such times he is not—ar—respon­ sible. you know. Let us give the fel­ low full credit—that is why he himself built your door." “Oh, but I can’t believe it! I can’t believe it!" cried the girl. "It’s not possible! He's so strong, so true and manly, so kind, for all bls gruffness!" "Ah. my dear!” soothed Wlnthrope, “that is the pity of it But when a man must needs be his worst enemy, when he must needs lead a certain Satisfied Himself That Miss Leslie Was Well Out Toward ths Signal. pains he brought back with him noth­ ing more than the discouraging infor­ mation that the back-country was worse than the shore. Yet he betrayed no trace of. depression over the %ad news, and for all his fatigue main­ tained a tone of hearty cheerfulness until, having eaten his fill, he sudden­ ly observed Miss Leslie's frigid po­ liteness. “What’s up now?” he demanded. "You’re not mad 'cause I hiked off this morning without notice?" "No. of course, not, Mr. Blake. Noth­ ing of the kind. But I—" “Well, what?" he broke In. as she hesitated. "I can’t, for the world, think of anything else I’ve done—" "You’ve done! Perhaps I might suggest that it Is a question of what you haven't done." The girl was trem­ bling on the verge of hysterics. “Yes, what you’ve not done! All these weeks, and not a single attempt to get us away from here, except that miser­ able signal; and 1 as good as put that up! You call yourself a man! But I —I—’’ She stopped short, white with a sudden overpowering fear. Wlnthrope looked from her to Blake with a sidelong glance, his lips drawn up In an odd twist. There followed several moments of tense silence; then Blake mumbled apologetically: “Well, I suppose J might have done more. I was so dead anxious to make sure of food and shel­ ter. But this trip to-day—” “Mr.—Mr. Blake, pray do not get excited— I—1 mean, please excuse me. "You're coming down sick!' he said. "No, no! I have no fever." "Then it’s the sun. Yet you ought to keep''up there where the air is freshest I'll make you a shade." She protested, and withdrew, some­ what hurriedly, to her tree. In the morning Blake was gone again: but Instead of a note, beside the Are stood the smaller antelope skin converted into a great bamboo­ ribbed sunshade. She spent the day as usual on the headland. There was no wind, and the sun was scorching hot But with her big sunshade to protect her from the direct rays, the heat was at least en­ durable. She even found energy to work at a basket which she was attempting to weave out of long, coarse graso; yet there, weae frequent intervals when her hands sank Idle in her la^ and she gazed away over the shimmering glassy expanse of the ocean. In the afternoon the heat became oppressively sultry, and a long slow swell began to roll shoreward from beyond the distant horizon, showing no trace of white along its oily crests until they broke over the coral reefs. There was not a breath of air stirring, and for a time the reefs so checked the rollers that they lacked force to drive on In and break upon the beach. Steadily, however, the swell grew heavier, though not so much as a cat’spaw ruffled the dead surfaces of the watery hillocks. By sunset they were rolling high over both lines of reefs and racing shoreward to break upon the beach and the cliff foot in furious surf. The still air reverberated with the booming of the breakers. Yet the girl, Inland bred and unversed tn weather lore, sat heedless and indif­ ferent, her eyes fixed upon the hori­ zon in a vacant stare. Her reverie was at last disturbed by the peculiar behavior of the seafowl. Those in the air circled around In a manner strange to her, while their mates on the ledges waddled restlessly about over and between their nests. There was a shriller note than usual tn their discordant clamor. Yet even when she gave heed to the birds, the girl failed to realize their light. She smilingly compared it with an attempt at a sunset painted by an artist friend of tbe impressionist school. Neither Wlnthrope nor Blake was in sight when she reached the baobab, and neither appeared, though she de­ layed supper until dark. It was quite possible that they had eaten before ber return and had gone off again, the Englishman to doze and Blake .on an evening hunt. At last, tired of waiting, she covered the fire and retired Into her treecave. The air In the cleft was still more stifling than on tbe headland. She paused, with ber hand upraised to close the swinging door. She had propped it open when she came out in the morning. After a moment’s hesi­ tation, sh$ went on across the hollow, leaving the door wide open. "I will rest a little, and close it later," she sighed. She was feeling weary and depressed. • An hong passed. An ominous stilb ness lay upon the cleft. Even the cicadas had hushed their shrill note. The only sound was a muffled re­ verberating echo of the surf rearing upon the seashore.. Beneath the giant spread of the * baobab all was black­ ness. Something moved in a bush a little way down the cleft. A crouching figure appeared, dimly outlined in the •starlight. The figure crept stealthily across Into the denser night of the bao­ bab. The darkness closed about it like a shroud. • A blinding flash of light pierced the blackness. The figure halted and crouched lower, though the flash had gone again' In a fraction of a second. A dull rumbling mingled with the ceaseless boom of the surf. A second flash lighted tbe cleft with Its dazzling coruscation. This time the creeping figure did not halt. Again and again the forked light­ ning streaked across the sky. every stroke more vivid than the one before. The rumble of the distant thunder deepened to a heavy rolling which dominated the dull roar of the break­ ers. The storm was coming with tbe on-rush of a tornado. Yet the leaves hung motionless in the still air, and there was no sound other than the thunder and the booming of ihe surf. The lightning flared, one stroke upon the other, with a brilliancy that lit up the cave’s Interior brighter than at mid-day. In the white glare the girl saw Winthrope, crouched beneath her upswung door; and bis face was as the face of a beast: ..... ........ CHAPTER XX. The Hurricane Blart. OR a moment that seemed a moment of eternity she lay on her bed staring into the blank darkness. The storm burst with a crashing uproar that brought her to her feet wutb a shriek. Her giant tree creaked and strained under ths impact of the terrific hurricane Brf • blasts that came howling through the cleft like a rout of shrieking fiends. The peals of thunder merged into one continuous roar, beneath which the solid ledges of rocks jarred and quiv­ ered. The sky was a pall of black clouds, meshed with a dazzling net­ work of forked lightning. The girl stood motionless, stunned by the uproar, appalled by the blinding glare of the thunderbolts; yet even more fearful of the figure which every flash showed her still lurking beneath the door. A gust-borne bough struck with numbing force against her up­ raised arm. But she took no heed. She was unaware of the swirl of rain and sticks and leaves that waa driving in through the open entrance. On a sudden the door shook free from its props and whirled violently around on its balance-bar. There was a shriek that pierced above the shrill­ ing of the cyclone—a single human shriek. The girl sprang across the cave. The heavy door swished up before her and down again. Its lower edge all but grazing her face. For a moment ft stopped in a vertical position and hung quivering, like a beast about to leap upon Its prey. Too excited to comprehend the danger of the act, the girl sprang forward and shot one of the thick bars Into its socket. A fierce gust leaped against the out­ er face at th» door and thrust in upon it, striving "to burst it bodily from its bearings. The top and the free side of the bottom bowed in. But the branches were still greea and tough, the bamboo like whalebone and the shrunken creepers held the frame to­ gether as though the joints were hished with wire rope. Falling to smash in the elastic structure or to snap the crossbar it were as if the blast flung Itself alternately against theJtop and bottom in a fierce attempt to again whirl the frame about. The white glare streaming in through the interstices showed the girl ber oppor­ tunity. She grasped another bar and shot it into Its socket as the lower part of the door gave back with the shifting of the pressure to tbe top. It was then a simple matter to slide the remaining bars into the deep-sunk holes. Within half a minute she had made the door fast from the first bar to tbe sixth. A heavy spray was beating in upon her through the chinks of the frame­ work. She drew back and sought shelter in a niche at the side. Nar- water. But eevn in her sheltered cor­ ner tbe eddyiag wind showered her with spray. She waded across for her ■kin-covered sunshade, and returned to huddle beneath it, in the still mis­ ery and terror of a hunted animal that has crept wounded into a hole. During the first hurricane there had been companions to whom she could look for help and comfort, and she had been to a degree unaware of the greatness of the danger. But in the few short weeks since she had caught more ’.han one glimpse of Primeval Nature—she of the bloody fang, blind, remorseless, insensate, destroying, ever destroying. True, this was on solid land, while before there had been the peril of the •ea. But now the girl was alone. Out­ side the straining walls of her refuge, the hurricane yelled and shrieked and roared—a headless, formless monster, furious to burst In upon her, to over-’ throw her stanch old tree giant, that in his fall his shattered trunk might crush and mangle ber. Or nt any In­ stant a thunder-bolt might rend open the great tower of living wood, and hurl her blackened body Into the pool on the cave floor. Once she fancied that she heard Blake shouting outside the door; but when she screamed a shrill response, tbe blast mocked her .with echoing shrieks, and she dared not venture to free the door. If It were Blake, he did not shout again. After a time she began to think that the sound bad been no more than a freak of tbe shifting wind. Yet the thought of hiiri1 out In the fun fugr of the cyclone served to turn her thoughts from her own danger. She prayed aloud for bls safety, beseeching God that be be spared. She sought to pray even for Wlnthrope. But the vision of that beastly face rose up before ber, and ■he could not—then. Presently she became aware of a change in the storm. The terrific gusts blew with yet greater violence, the thunder crashed heavier, tne light­ ning filled the air with a flame of dazzling white light But the rain no longer gushed across on the spot where her bed had been. It was en­ tering at a different angle, and its force was broken by the bend In the tblck wall of the entrance. After a time the deluge dashed aslant the en­ trance, gushing down the door In a cataract of foam. Another interval, and the driving downpour no longer struck even the edge of the opening. The wind was veering rapidly as the cyclone center moved past on one side. —The area of the hurricane was little more than thrice, that of a tornado, and it was advancing along Its course at great speed. An hour more, and the outermost rim of the huge whirl passing over the cleft. Quickly the hurricane gusts fell away .to a gale; the gale became a breeze; the breeze lulled and died sway, stifled by the torrential rain. Within the baobab all was again dark and silent. Utterly exhausted, the girl had sunk back against the friend­ ly wall of the tree, and fallen asleep. She was wakened by a hoarse call: "Miss Jenny! Miss Jenny, answer me! Are you all-right?” . She started up. barely saving her­ self from a fall as the big unhusked nuts rolled beneath her feet The morning sunlight was streaming In over her door. She spraug down ankle­ deep into the mire of the cave floor, and ran to loosen the bars. A« the door swung up. she darted out, with a cry of delight: "You are sa'e—safe! Oh, I was so afraid for you! But you’re drenched! You must build a fire—dry yourself—at once!" "Walt," said Blake. "I’ve got to tell you something." He' caught her outstretched hands, and pushed them down with gentle force. His face was grave, almost sol­ emn (To be Continued.)

I find the “boys” who have been running the stores during my absence all but two days in the week, have done well—they are as good a lot of fel­ lows, and I think just a little better, than any like number in town, and the trade have perfect confidence in them and so have I, but I find the business is so large that they cannot give it the attention it should receive, and I am going to make it so the man in charge won’t have to run from the warehouse to the furniture department and then to the hardware to exceed 100 times each day; they will be able to give better attention to the customer and be a less burden on themselves. It takes a goodly number of men to look after a business and sell goods in two stores, warehouse and back yard all at the same time and I have therefore decided to sacrifice the Furniture Stock, which takes so long to prepare for the show room and so long to sell and pack.

COMBINATIONS OF MEMBERS Democrats and Republicans Will Stand Together In Fighting for Home Districts—Rough Sledding Ahead—Measure Angers Women. Washington, Mar. 22.—Congress be­ gan its Intermittent tariff wrangle at noon to-day. It is dignified by the name of debate ^on the Payne tariff bill, but all evidence points to the con­ clusion that it is a tariff wrangle. The bill starts with the approval of the Republican majority In the main and the hearty approval of a minority of the Democrats as to some details. Before it has passed through the house party lines will have been ob­ literated. Southern Democrats will be voting with Yankee Republicans, northwestern and western Repub­ licans with mid-western and northern Democrats, and a half dozen other combinations will be formed by Re­ publicans and Democrats who have seemingly forgotten the names of Mc­ Kinley and Cleveland and are now firm disciples of the teachings of Gen. Hancock that tbe tariff is a local Issue. Rough Sledding Ahead. , The Payne bill will have rough sledding. In the house the Repub­ licans agree that the maximum and minimum tariff bill is the thing; the leaders of tbe senate think it a mis­ take and that the Payne bill is a re­ taliatory bill Instead of a reciprocal tariff law. Agreeing with the bill in principle, but objecting to its chief provisions, many Republicans will unite with the Democrats and balk at Mr. Payne’s effort to add to the tax on the house­ hold and continue protection to vested interests, manufacturers and import­ ers of necessities and luxuries. Objections to the Bill. The chief objections raised to the bill at this time are: That it will increase the cost of the breakfast table and the home; that too much has been done in reducing tbe coat of raw materials without cor­ responding reductions of the duties on manufactured articles; that tbe countervailing duties on coffee and petroleum will benefit none but the dealers tn these articles in the United States; the coffee duty will be evaded by an enormous supply of cof­ fee already in the United States; tbe statistics show that petroleum cannot be Imported into the United States; that the tax on tea and cocoa will di- i Notice of County Roads System Election.

William Northrup MacMillan, for­ merly of St. Louis, owifs a large estate near Nairobi and his big, lux­ urious farmhouse will he headquarters , for about six months while the hunt­ ers and scientists make trips of vary­ ing length In all directions. It Is in this section that Mr. Roosevelt hopeq to obtain most of his specimens, for It abounds with- animals of all kinds. The smaller mammals will be trapped. Caring for Specimens. When, the specimens have bevn pre­ pared they will be carefully packed in the boxes and shipped to Nairobi, where they will be forwarded to the United States. One of the taxider­ mists will always be with Mr. Roose­ velt. and as soon as any big gaime Is shot by him It will be skinned and prepared on the spot. Mr. Roosevelt will be greatly greatly disdis­ appointed if be fails Io kill several specimens of the white rhinoceros. ’’ This animal is the same as the squaremouthed-rhlnoceros and is the nearest living ally to the type of the extinct Tlchorlne or woolly rhinoceros which lived in England nt the close of . the Glacial period. • Journey Across Uganda. Leaving Nairobi in October, the party will proceed by the Uganda rail­ way to Port Florence, on the nhores of Lake Victoria Nyanza. where a short stop will be made, then a steamer will be taken to Entebbe. 150 miles swjiy. Thpre a caravan will be formed and the Jqurney across Uganda to the Nile will be begun. It Is expected that the White Nile will, be reached about the first of the year .1910. Lake Albert Nyanza wjll be touched at Klbira. In a general way the course of the Nile wiD be followed to Gondokoro, and thence to Khkrtoum. At this city Mr. Roosevelt and Kermit will be joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and they will continue down the Nile slowly to Cairo, visiting many points of interest -on the way. To Speak In European Capitals. Plans for .the remainder of the ex­ president’s tour have not been decided upon definitely, but the time will be spent in Europe, and several matters of importance have been announced. He will visit Berlin at the invitation of Emperor William and while there will deliver an address upon the one hun­ dredth anniversary of the founding of the University of Berlin. From Germany he will go to France and deliver an address at the Sor­ bonne. It has not been learned how long Mr. Roosevelt Intends to stay in Berlin and Paris. After his visit in France, Mr. Roosevelt will go to Eng­ land, where a reception of great warmth undoubtedly will be accorded to him. He has accepted an Invitation to deliver the Romanes lecture at Ox­ ford university and In all probaballity the honorary degree of D. C. L., which Oxford has bestowed on Emperor Wil­ liam, will be conferred on Mr. Roose­ velt Mr. Roosevelt will defray the ex­ penses of himself and his son on the African trip, but those of the scien­ tists and the cost of preparing the specimens and shipping them to Amer­ ica will be paid out of.a fund secured for the purpose by the Smithsonian . institution. One of the objects of Mr. Roosevelt in taking the trip Is for the purpose of collecting material for writing sev­ eral books regarding his experiences. During last summer he contract?-* Even If the British colonial govern­ ment should offer to throw open to Mr. Roosevelt and his companions th* African game preserves under* its eon- I troi, the ex-president will refuse to I take advantage of this opportunity. I Like other true sportsmen, he believes that the utmost protection should be | given to wild animate on reservations j and that permission to kill them j should not be given or accepted under any circumstances unless, possibly, 1 when predatory animals are becoming I too numerous. * ■ Moreover, the* killing of animate for sport is not the main object of bls trip. I Mr. Roosevelt hopes to send back to ! the. Smithsonian institution two adult | specimens, one of each zpx, and a specimen of their young, of animals he meets with on the Dark Continent. Maj. Msarns Heads Scientists. in selecting the three scientists to accompany Mr. Roosevelt, Secretary Walcott of the Smithsonian institu­ tion chose some of the best naturalists In the country. Their chief, Maj. Mearns, is a.retlred officer of the medlcal corps of the army. As a field naturalist, Mr. Alden is probably the most efficient and experienced man in the party. He has made a specialty of the smaller mammals and If is said bf him that,' where other traps and baits fail, he can devise-a trap and se­ lect a bait that will lure any of the smaller wild creatures Into captivity. .Of the party the only one who has had previous experience in that sec­ tion of Africa through which the ex­ pedition will joupey Is Mr. Heller. In addition to being.a fine rifle shot and a good horseman, young Kermit Roosevelt has made himself an expert with the camera, having devoted much time and study during the past year to the photographing of animals. !

Koial Baking Powder ^bjoiuttly Pure The Only Baking Powder , Royal Grape Cream of Tartar —Maae from Grape.— A Guarantee of Pure, Healthful, Delicious Food . losis relief work, suggested that I design a Christmas stamp to be Issued by the Association, in response to the demand which the Red Cross was not able .to meet. .This was found to be impossible in tbe limited time before tbe blose of tbe Christinas season. However my supjestion of an Easter stamp for the same . purpose was received - by the 'Executive Committee of the Association and I was asked to design an Easter stamp 4o be ready for apptoral at the State meeting on tbe 26th of February. The idea which i wished to express tn this design is tbe Easter thought of a New Life of Hope for those afflicted with a malady so long thought to be hopeless. The emblem of tne Mich­ igan Association, the Blue Star plac­ ed in its while circle is the principal motive of tbe design. This emblem in Detroit at' least, has since “Tag Day" become identified with a hope­ ful campaign again?! the .While Plague, and since its adoption by the Michigan Association kxt summer,, is becoming known thoughout the, State as significant- of hopeful effort. Beneath the star, to its meaning definite even to those for whom stars have no special significance in the word. Hope. On either side rise Eas­ ter lilies, the flowers of Resurrection, of New Life. My suggestion' for a design—-the Star of Hone and the Flower of Resureclion of New Life has been beautifully carried out in a design made (or me by Miss Alice V. Guvsi in which she has shown the true artistic sense in the placing of the star and flower forms and in the color arrangement. Tbe Blue Star on its white dlrcle rests in a square of blue and on either side of this sqaure rise the lilies, conventionalized to white­ flowers and stem and leaf. Around this square is a border of white on which is printed in blue on three sides, tbe name of the society issuing the stamp—Michigan Anti-Tuberculosis Association, and at the bottom—Eas­ ter. There is no date. The symbolism of stars comes from the Orient The five point star in the old astrology is man dominating- the lower elements of bis being. The Star of Bethlehem travelled over ’Arabia and Syria and stopped above the cradle of the Hope of the world— the God-Man who came to heal the diseases of body and soul. What more fitting emblem than the star, for an effort which aspires to give New Life through Hope to those afflicted with a dread disease! The color of the stat;—blue -means the constancy which such an effort requires. There will be two classes of stamps­ one at one cent and the other at five cents, the latter to be embossed. The design has l>een thought worthy of this more expensive reproduction. Let all the j>eople of our state recog­ nize the return of life in tree, grass and flower and commemorate the Resurrection of Christ, as their l>elief warrants by helping to bring new life and hope to those afflicted with die White Plague.

While, she worked she sat' on a shaded ledge, her bare feet toast­ ing in the sun, and her soggy, mudsmeared moccasins drying within reach.

Fortunately, the sight of the white clodi prevented Blake ’rom noticing- the moccasins. ’ “Hello!" he exclaimed. "What’s that?—the flag? Bay, that’s luck! I’ll break out a‘bamboo right off.

OH YES!! “ ‘ Mercer. Pa., Mar. 30.—The prelim­ inary hearing and safe return to the Mercer Jail of James H. Boyle and the rumor that bis woman companion may entirely escape prison and soon re­ gain her liberty were the develop­ ments of yesleiday tn the Whilla kid­ naping case. No one but James Boyle had any fears for bis safety when he was taken to Sharon for his arraignment, but be was terribly frightened. Quivering with tear from head to foot and nervously begging the officers for protection, be faced a crowd of hundreds of persons attracted merely by curiosity and ia happier in his cell to-day than he has ben since his arrest The opinion is spreading among the people of this county that Mrs. Boyle will -not be prosecuted, but that she will very soon he entirely eliminated from the case and be allowed to de­ part. There is said to be no local proof whatever to connect her with the abduction, and as she absolutely refuses to aid the local authorities In the least, the supposition Is that she will eoon be free. This Is borne out by the*delay in arraigning her. It is said her prosecution Is not eagerly desired by Mrs. Whltla, whose wishes are likely to be respected. It required but a few minutes for the preliminary hearing of Boyle, Bail was fixed at 125.000. which it is said Boyle has no chance of giving. and the prisoner was returned to tbe jail at Mercer on the first train. .Total.

The fight has been a warm one and result­ ed in twenty of the counties going drv, being Eaton, -Ionia. Calhoun, Jack­ son, Alcona, Allegan, Benzie. Branch. Clare. Emmett. Genessee, Hillsdale, Isabella. Kalkaska, Living­ ton, ^Newaygo. Sanilac. Tuscola and Charlevoix. The "wet*" won in Berrien, Huron, Montcalm, Mecosta, Ottawa. Washtenaw and Monroe. The vote in the state is exceptional­ ly heavy, principally owing to the local option fight in bo many counties and to the interest taken in defeating Good Roads Earle's proposition of county roads system. The total vote in the Unship was much lighter than last year, there be­ ing 408 votes cast a’ the Nashville pre­ cinct and only V2 at Morgan, an even 500 for the townahip. The first precinct had 80 straight re­ publican votes and 141 splits. The independents had W sights and TO8 splits. Three tickets had no marks at all and 15 had no* beading. Two votes were challenged. The second precinct had 15 republi­ can straights and 25 independent straights. The vote on the adoption of the county road system was heavily against the proposition all over the county. The first precinct of Castle­ ton gave It 164 yes, 206 no, while the secund precinct gave it 21 yes, and flft no, a majority against it in the town­ ship of W rotes. The rote on the state ticket In the first precinct shows 222 republican votes, 121 democratic, 33 prohibition­ ist, 6 socialist and two socialist labor. In the second precinct, 47 republican. 25 democratic, 15 prohibition and one socialist.

It seems that some In Corinth de nied the resurrection of the dead in the sense that there Is no life after death, now If that were true, then how much would there be left In Chris­ tianity? What U the process of reafoning that demonstrates th* fact of immor­ tality? What is the scripture proof of life after death ? Can you mention a single nation or Irtbe of the past, or at the present, which has not believed In Immortality tn some shape? Verses 14-17—If there is no resurrectlon of the dead, how would that make their preaching vain, make our faith vain, and make them false wit­ nesses? Verses 18-19 — How Is It that all men Instinctively believe In the im­ mortality of their departed friends, and» expect to meet them again? It was doubtless th>e In Paul’s day that If there was no immortality Christians were of all men most mis­ erable. because, they were then desplsed. Imprisoned and put to death; but Is the same true today? Is nd Christ’s religion now a grand thing ft r this world, even If death did end all! Verse 20—What is the chief evi­ dence of the truth of Christianity? What Is the proof that Jesus did rise from the dead? (See Matt, xxvi: 16-18; Mark xvi:14; Luke xxlv: 36-38; John xx .4,5.14,26;xxl 4; Acts 1:3.13.30, 11: I Cor xv 3-8. et s*q.) n the fact of the resurrection of Jesus to be proved by evidence. Ilk* any other fact, and is there any other historic fact better attested?

This “ad” was written Tuesday morning. Why did the goods move so quickly? Simply because the prices nam­ ed on them saves you from 25 to 40 per cent, and you will have no such chance again. Many were disappointed be­ cause what they wanted was gone when they arrived. The sale is a positive clean out of a new up-to-date stock and it will not be replaced. I am going out of the Furniture business. There is a good assortment left, but I am bound to clean up soon as possible and if 40% interests you, come in with your cash or bankable paper and get the goods.

One of ibe most stubborn fight* ever made in this township over the office of supervisor was made here Monday, resulting in the election of John Hynes for the eighth consecutive term by the small margin of 14 votes. To add to the bitterness of the struggle, two men wbo fame always been iden­ tified with the republican party, took the field against him and worked tooth and nail to defeat him. Added to this, a communication appeared in last week’s Hastings Banner, signed by Jesse Townsend of Hastings, mak­ ing an uncalled for and cowardly at­ tack on Mr Hynes. It was at this time that Hynes friends took up the fight, with tbe above result. One of those who was so active in opposing Hynes has himself been supported by the party for supervisor for seven or eight times and during all those years he has received the support of John Hynes, who has always been loyal to bis party. The proposition to purchase the grarel pit from Birney Jordan for *3ot' was voted dowb. We believe our people made a mistake, for it is es­ timated that this pit is worth 11,000. Perhaps another year they will think different. The good roads proposition re­ ceived a black eye to th- tune of no, 303; yes. 35. ' Our town hall will now lie seated with chairs, making a much needed im­ provement. Jesse Townsend of Hastings made a kick on Supervisor Hynes of this place last week in the Hastings Ban­ ner and called tbe attention of our voters to what be called the unjust assessment of a part of his farm which unfortunately lies in this town­ ship. Living as be does at the county seat, he undoubtedly thought that people living in a back woods town would take U> thv wood* whea they read that article aod that next time when we wanted to nominate a supervisor we wobid write and get his consent before we undertook the job. know you are like a certain breed of dogs, whose bark is worse than their bite.

Quite a lot of trouble was experi­ enced with the prevision of the new constitution providing that no bill must be altered or amended on its passage through either bouse so as to alter Its original purpose. A case in point is the MacKay bill amending the law relating to chattel mortgage concerns, which passed the senate. When It got to the bouse vari­ ous police officials called attention to the fact that the bill prevented the police supervision over property that might have been stolen so long as these concerns held a mortgage on it. and suggesting that a general law should be passed placing pawnbrokers and chattel mortgage companies in the same category.

All baking powders are white and are sold in round cans with bright labels. They look alike, but in con­ tents they are very different. High grade baking powders are made of pure cream of tartar derived from grapes. They are healthful and economical to use. Low-grade baking powders are made of alum, an astringent mineral acid. Before the Pure Food Law only a chemist could tell by analysis one from the other. But now baking powders have ingredlnets printed on the hack of the label. By reading the label the house­ keeper knows tne ingredients and being careful of the welfare of her household, avoids the Alum kind of baking powder. Good baking powder is one of the useful things in the kitchen—and there is a difference.

The reason is because they are vigor­ ous, because they are sufficiently strong to digest and assimilate enough food to produce eggs. A hen might come from the very best laying strain, she might be fed an abundance of egg­ forming material, but if she has not the ability to digest her food she will never be a valuable layer. The best ration and the cheapest ration is the ration which .brings us the greatest number of eggs and keeps our hens In the best condition. Chick­ ens require a liberal diet in cold weather; too often they are fed enough to keep up the animal heat but not enough to produce eggs ns well. Hence a perfectly healthy flock may be a flock of poor layers.

This system of culling will leave the beat jiortion of the yearling bens, which, together with the early­ hatched pullets, will make a profitable flock of layers. Many farmers practice no intelligent culling of their chickens, but allow old hens, together with runty pullets and scrub cockerels, to consume tLe food and occupy the room that should be used for the workers of the flock. A small number of the best chickens will pay mor* profit than a house crowded full of everything raised.

NORITY ENTERS ASKED PROTEST BY CHICAGO POLICE democrats Claim They Have Had No Time to Conelder Schedules, But the Organisation Hasten* Action— House Wants Bill Back. Cheapness of Diecarded -Army Weep- Washington, Apr. 13 —The amended tariff bill is now on the senate calen­ dar and by an agreement reached on the floor consideration of the measure will begin on Thursday. The bill was laid before the finance committee with the Democratic mem­ bers present, yesterday morning, and afier 30 minutes parleying a vote was taken on the question of making a report to the senate, all of the Repub-' Ifcans voting In the affirmative and the Democrats in the negative. . Sqon after the senate met Senator Aldrich presented the amended bill. Senator Daniel, on behalf of the minor­ ity, protested that the Democrats had not been given an opportunity to ex­ amine the measure and Senator Aid­ rich replied that they could make their examination by Thprsday. He stated also that as the majority l< responsible for the bill. Its course In hastening the report was ranted. • All Changes Not Made. As reported the bill does not con­ tain all of the changes in rates which the finance committee proposes to make. Although several important amendments, such as the restoration of the Din gley rates on women's gloves and hosiery, the placing of works of art on the free list, and the assessment of a duty on iron ore have been made, .tho revenue producing possibilities of the bill, are little changed. The Increases are provided mainly in the schedule covering lux­ uries, the entire liquor schedule being materially advanced. The increase on wines and spirits is expected to bring in about 33,000.000 additional revenue. Senator Aldrich stated that the com­ mittee realizes that the increases thus far recommended will not be sufficient to counterbalance the loss in revenues that will result from the reductions and the lengthening of the free list This shortage will necessitate further Increases on certain luxuries and the committee intends to report some changes at an early date which it will ask the senate to adopt In discussing the revenue features of the bin, Senator Aldrich Insisted that as it will be amended by the sen­ ate tbe Payne bill will provide suffi­ cient funds to meet .the expenses of the government without resorting to any but import taxes. No maximum ant! minimum pro­ visions or administrative features, which include additional forms of taxation were reported in the bill. Cotton and Wool Schedules. Changes were made in the cotton and wool schedules of interest largely to the manufacturers' of cotton and woolen cloths. The action of the finance committee in maintaining the high rate of duty which it placed on top at the time tho Dingley bill was under consideration, and which now stands in the present law, will un­ doubtedly reopen the controversy on the- wo^l schedules. The intent of the Dingley law re­ garding the assessment of duties on cotton cloth has been carried out through a change In the provision for the method to be used in counting the threads In cotton cloths. The new proviso and the rearrangement of the duties on the various grades of cloths eliminate the ambiguity which resu’ted in many difficulties in carry­ ing out the provisions of the existing law, without changing the ad valorem equivalent of the specific duties. • By restoring the Dingley rates to barley and barley malt, and by reduc­ ing the taxation on the breakfast table by cutting down the duties of coffee substitutes and placing cocoa on the free list the senate amendments to the Payne bill present a bld for popu­ lar favor. House Wants Bill Back. The house, which passed the bill last Friday, was In session two hours and 15 minutes. The first action taken was the adoption of a resolution call­ ing upon the senate for a return of the Payno tariff bill next Thursday in or­ der that it might be corrected so as to include products of patroleum in the rree HsL That the present session of the house is not restricted to tariff legis­ lation. was the decision of Speaker Cannon. The question came up when Mr. Macon of Arkansas objected to the house passing on some resolutions from the committee on accounts pro­ viding for the pay of janitors. The speaker declared he wa* not aware of any constitutional provision that would prevent the house transacting ' ..... under any business it mdesired Washington, Apr. 13.—At the re­ quest of the Chicago police depart­ ment and fearing the possibilities ot bloody conflicts with armed mobs, the war department of the United States has ordered stopped the sale of obso­ lete army rifles. ' More than 300.000 discarded Spring­ field rifles of .45 caliber have already been sold by the war department at prices, which have netted the govern­ ment ieas than one dollar each. These In turn have fallen into the hands of dealers who have sold them at prices ranging down to 31-50. Chicago Police Protest ‘ It was because of this cheapness of the weapons that the Chicago police department feared they were falling into the hands of irresponsible* and might too easily be used to arm* mobs of strikers^ or anarchists. The Chi­ cago officials took the position that the return which the government re­ ceived from the sale of the obsolete weapons did not amount to enough to offset the danger which the sale of the rifles might be .to' the peace and the police of the large cities. The Chicago department has had costly conflicts with mobs, and tho police authorities there declared that for the government to place the army rifles at the disposal cf possible trouble makers at such a low price would only put a premium on the shedding of blood. They also feared that anarchists and others might lay in secret supplies to be used when the strikes or other disturbances should furnish opportunity. Guns in Good Condition. Although the guns which the gov­ ernment sold were branded as “obso­ lete" they were fine weapons of long range power and in the hands of a foe would almost make the police helpless. When the subject was first broached the war department authori­ ties took the position that the state r.iilitia was better armed than the mob would be and so could eaclly cope with the situation. But the Chi­ cago police insisted that this would mean bloodshed, and it was blood­ shed that they wanted to avoid. The order stopping the sale of these weapons by tjie department will cost l he government about 3100,000 a year. More than 300,000 of the old Spring­ field rifles have already been dis­ posed of. many of them being guns once used by the various state mi­ litia but replaced by modern rifles by the government Only about 10,000 of these obsolete guns are now in the hands of the department But the government also has 330.000 KragJorgensen rifles which must soon be discarded. They already have been withdrawn from service and replaced by the government's ne* “1^03 Spring­ field," of which more than 450,000 have been put into tbe bands of the regulars and the militia.

The appalling death-rate from kidney'disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they liecome serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of dlabejes, dropsy, Bright’s disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint.

We want to convince everv rheumatic sufferer at our expense that our Rheumatic Remedy does what thousands of so-called remedies have failed to accomplish—actually cures Rheumatism. You cannot coax Rheumatism out through the feet or skin with plaster? or cunning metal contrivances. You cannot tease it out with liniments, electricity or magnetism. You cannot imagine it out with mental science. You must deice it out It is in the blood and you must go ajtei it and get it. This is just what Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy does and that is why it cures Rheumatism. Rheumatism is Uric Acid, and Uric Acid and Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy cannot live together in the same blood. The rheu­ matism b^as to go and it does go. Our treatment cures the sharp, shooting pains, the dull, aching muscles, the hot. throbbing, swollen limbs, and cramped, stiffened, useless joints, and cures them quickly. k FULL TWO WEEKS TRIAL TREATMENT FOIEYSKIDNEYCURE Makes RMaeya and Bladder Right Royalty on Exhibition.

The play tells a dramatic story of life in the highest circles of Eng­ lish society, showing the evils of gambling, either on the race track or at bridge whist, and pointing to the inevitable ending of a career that has to do with society foibles and crimes. Fourteen scenes, and all of! them big ones, are required to illustrate this thrilling tale, and for the transporta­ tion of these scenes and the hundreds of superb costumes that are used in the melodrama, six baggage ears are necessary. The cast which will inter­ pret the play includes Dorothy Don­ nelly, Louise Closser Hale. Louise Ratter. Lucy Sibley, Vincent Serrano. William Abingdon. Leslie Kenyon. Oscar Adye.

YOUR HEALTH Nature intended that you as well as all other people should have a per­ fectly equipped body and.she also in­ tended that every organ of your body should be capable of fully perform­ ing its duty. But Nature has failed in some Instances, and in others the health has been overtaxed by exposure or strain which has hindered these or­ gans from carrying on their func­ tions. To make up for these mis­ takes Nature hat decreed that there be a sure way to locate any ailment, or cause of ailment and has also given us medicines which properly prescrib­ ed will‘build, np the diseased organs. Nature has made the kidneys the tell tale organs of the human body, and scientific research has proven that they most quickly denote both the seat of the disease and the conditions of the organs causing it. The wonderful cures effected by this method of an­ alyzing the urine havemade it univers­ ally adopted. The Van Bysterveld Medicine Com­ pany Ltd., in employing A. W. VanBy>terve)d, the noted chemist to make iWr analysis, have recognized the value of this method of diagnosis, and have chosen a man who, through a life study of the human urine, can render remarkable* aid. The physicians of this company after receiving the diag­ nosis, prescrilje medicines that go quickly to the source of the illness, destroying the disease and building the organ back to health and strength. If your health is not what it should be, have a talk with anv of their patients and see what they inink of the value of this company’s methods, and then if convinced, bring or send a small bottle of your urine to their offices where for the small sum of >1.00 when urine is brought to the office or >1.25 when sent by mail, you will receive a careful analysis of your urine and med­ icine to last you one week. Office hours any Friday from 8 to 11 a. m. at the residence of Mrs. Sco­ thorn, Nashville, Mich. Mailing cas­ es for sending urine sent free upon re3uest at the home office.

Lansing.—The senate ad valorem bill was passed by the bouse by a vote of 88'in favor to five against. On the receipt of news that the sen­ ate bill had been reported,out by the bouse committee on general .taxation the house Insurgents immediately an­ nounced themselves, satisfied to-aban­ don their filibuster and work in har­ mony. Briefly the bill places the telephone, telegraph and express companies un­ der the same taxation system ks the other properties of the state. It also provides for taxation of • co-partner­ ships as well as corporations owning public service plants and prescribes that express companies shall be taxed according to land mileage instead of land and water mileage. It -is a matter in which Attorney General Bird t has been greatly con­ cerned ever since .htf entered office, and the Republican party and Its can­ didates were pledged to the measure.

The committee ■ expressly states (hat nothing should be done to retard the development of the water powers of the state. The members think, however, that the various boards of supervisors should not grant a blanket franchise, but should charge a small annual franchise fee during the titpe the dams are being built and then increase the tax according to the amount of power that the companies carry to distant points for distribu­ tion. In part the report is as follows: ’’The available water power supply of the state still undeveloped depends somewhat on the methods that are ob­ tained in coming years In utilizing it to its fullest extent. The best authori­ ties hold that reservoirs In the lower peninsula are with few exceptions un­ feasible. If such were not the case It would be possible greatly to aug­ ment the volume of water power by a storage of water during flood times, and reducing It when the flow is re­ duced, thereby maintaining an average much above that by which the ca­ pacity of the stream must necessarily be gauged." . The ‘ principal rivers of tho state upon which further developments are under consideration, are as follows: St. Joseph, Saginaw. Kalamazoo, Muskegon, Manistee.

In the bill to make the office of the state labor commissioner' elective is reflected the dissatisfaction of the state’s organize.? labor interests with the present labor commissioner, Rich­ ard Fletcher, and the bill which he Is pushing through the house in behalf of his department. Labor circles all over the state are behind the darken bill, and whether they will be able to swing the meas­ ure to make Fletcher’s job an elective one in the face of the strength of the administration Is a question.

Invasion of Constantinople by Soldiers dication May Mean Peace. Constantinople, Apr. 19. —The report that Sultan Abdul .'Hamid had abdi­ cated caused the greatest excitement In the lobbies of parliament and spread with lightning-like rapidity throughout the city to-day. A rumor of the" flight of the sultan on a warship followed closely on that of his abdication, but neither could be confirmed. Large crowds gathered at the Brit­ ish embassy, where, other reports had IL the sultan had taken refuge, and there also were scores of inquiries at the Russian embassy concerning the truth of the rumor that his majesty was under the protection of Russia on one of its guardships. Reports Arc Denied. At both of these embassies all knowledge of the sultan’s movements was denied and the Turkish foreign office also gave a strong denial to one and all of these rumors. The abdica­ tion of Abdul Hamid, however, appears to be not improbable and it appears that within a day or two the consti­ tutionalists may accept as his suc­ cessor Prince Yussef Izzedin, the eld­ est son of the late sultan, who is sec­ ond in lino, as they are strongiy dlspleased with Abdul Hamid's attitude. The palace is under strung guard and even high officials are not permitted to.enter IL The advance of the constitutional forces began this afternoon. Small parties were sent out to reconnoiter and at seven o’clock in tho evening they were within sight of the gates of Constantinople. They encountered no resistance, nor does any resistance seem likely, unless It is at the palace. The headquarters of the constitution­ alists' army is at Dedcagatch and Gen. Husni Pasha’s forces, which now number between 20,000 and 30,000 oc. cupy a range of hills about 20 miles from the capital. Every hour rein­ forcements added to their number. Walting for Full Force. 'it is not likely that the entire army will reach the capital for some time, as Husni Pasha and his military asso­ ciates deem it advisable to withhold their advance until they are strong enough to win success by overwhelm­ ing numbers. . They hope that the so-called reac­ tionary opposition will yield without fighting. The bringing up of the rein­ forcements is under the direction of Nlaxi Bey and Enver Bey, The civil direction of affairs continues at Sa­ lonika at which place constant com­ munication is maintained with Con­ stantinople. The new government at the capital has been conducting the administra­ tion for the last week with few or no changes in the personnel. The war ministry under Ed ham Pasha has been inactive, except that appointments and promotions have been made to fill the vacancies caused by the killing of officers, which it is estimated number, 200. There have been practically no preparations, so far as can be observed, to resist the advance of the Saloniki troops. Admiral and Mrs. C. M. Chester and Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Chester of New York arrived here yesterday from , Palestine. Adana Deaths Number 400. It is announced officially that the deaths at Adana during the rioting number 400, among the killed being many Turks. The telegraph lines to the provinces, however, are badly in­ terrupted. and details of the massa­ cres at Adana. Tarsus and other places are lacking. Confirmation has been received of the killing of two American mission­ aries at Adana. The mutdered mis­ sionaries were Mr. Rogers and Mr. Maurer. The others "nnected with the missions are safe, including Mr. Christie, who is at Tarsus. Even though the rumors of the sul­ tan's abdication are unconfirmed they seemed to produce a feeling of dis­ tinct relief In Constantinople and the advance of the Saloniki army, which is slow but steady, makes the settle­ ment of the question of administra­ tion a matter of hours. The general belief is held that the enveloping movement will be completed by to­ night or early to-morrow morning. The soldiers of the garrison 'appear to be thoroughly cowed by the advance of the third army corps, and the only cause for apprehension is the attitude of the fleet which is held to be doubt­ ful. The consensus of opinion is that if the abdication of the sultan is brought about bis overthrow and the proclama tkm of his successor will be accom­ plished peacefully. Bodies Washed Out of Graves.

' United States Marshal. Washington, Apr. 19.—"There is'suf­ ficient wheat in the country at norma] prices to make bread for the Ameri­ cans up to the time when the new crop comes in," declared Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Saturday, anent the Chicago wheat corner, "and those who attempt to keep prices up at pres­ ent rates expect to get their money out of the common people—the conBurners.” Replies to Criticisms, Secretary Wilson’s statement made in reply to criticisms of J. A. Patten of Chicago of the crop reports of the department of agriculture. Mr. Patten not only discredited the depart­ ment's estimate of the wheat crop, but said that the supply of wheat was scarcer than tho government's esti­ mates show. . “The reporters of the department of agriculture are farmers living on farms and know, if anybody knows, and have knowledge, if anybody has knowledge, of the facts,” declared the secretary. “We cannot whistle these men down the wind. It we seek an honest class of community and hesitate to take the words of the American farmers, we will not establish truth by going to the gamblers. ’’The large majority of wheat has left the hands of the farmers." con­ tinued the secretary. "A fictitious price' hks been created. The farmers are not beneficiaries of such condltidns. They will naturally plant more wheat and next year's crop is likely to be abnormally large, when the gam­ blers will not be in the market and mischief will be done by disturbance of the ejop system. In the corner of 1898, when the price of wheat was run up to >1.85 the price was de­ pressed the following year below 80 cents, the result, undoubtedly, of the upsetting of the equilibrium of norma] supply and demand." Secretary Gives Reasons. To show that a scarcity of wheat in this country is not the cause of the present abnormal increase in the prices, Secretary 'Wilson points out that the amount of wheat produced in the calendar year 1908 was 665,000,­ 000 bushels, as compared with 634,000/­ 000 bushels for the crop year 1907, ma­ king 31,000,000 bushels more for the last crop year than was found the year previous. After calling attention to the department’s report which in­ dicated that the amount of wheat on fat-ms on March 1 last was about 143,­ 000,000 bushels, in round numbers, the secretary states that an analysis of the wheat movement after March 1 in past years indicates that the yearly estimates of the percentage of 'the crop on farms at that time has been about five per cent below the actual percentage. He says that when wheat becomes dear as it is now as the re­ sult of the Chicago corner, people use more corn than they do when wheat is cheaper and declares that tho peo­ ple . who are responsible for the cor­ ner will have to consider that less wheat will be used while it remains at an abnormally high price.

Jesse West, ranchman and bad man, calmjy awaited the fix­ ing of the rope that was to swing him and his friends Into eternity yester­ day morning. J. B. Miller of Fort Worth, slayer of from six to thirty persons; B. B. Burrell of Duncan, Okla., and Joe Al­ len of Canadian, Okla., were the other victims of the lynching. Best Citizens in Mob. Two hundred citizens of Ada, prac­ tically all of them of the better class, who were thoroughly disgusted with the kind of “justice” meted out to criminals in the smaller towns of Ok­ lahoma, took the law into their own bands and hanged the four men for the murder of Deputy United States Marshal A. L. Bobbitt. A few minutes after three o’clock yesterday morning the few persons then awake, the electric lights were suddenly shut off. The city was plunged into darkness. Telephone communication was also cut off. There was no noise. ’ / ■ . County Attorney Robert Wimblsh, who had received word that the mob was forming, pleaded in vain with the men. • Only Guard McCarthy was on duty when the mob reached the j»i. ___ Jailer Shows Game Spirit. “McCarthy," said the leader, "open this door at once. We mean business. Hurry; It’s near daylight." “You might as well go home boys," responded the officer. “This door will never open from this side." Then three of the mob threw them­ selves against the frail door and all rushed in. Guard McCarthy was struck with a revolver and rendered unconscious. The four prisoners were quickly secured. West fought des­ perately. Tbe others made no resist­ ance. . “If you are' going to hang me, do it quick,” said Miller. The mob led the four men to a barn a few hundred feet away and stood them in a straight line. “Tell us what you devils know about Bobbitt's murder,” shouted the mob leader. ■ West answered for the four. He said: “We don't know who you men are, and we don't care. For myself, I know If I had a six shooter a few of you would ‘bite the dust,' but that's talk as long as my ’shooting iron’ is in Texas. You boys appear to have a job to do. Why don’t you do it? We won't tell anything, and you—" “The Ropes,” Yells Leader. "The ropes," the leader broke in, and the tour unfortunate men were carried to a beam and strung up. Just before the rope was placed about his neck Miller calmly removed a diamond from his shirt front and requested that It be sent to bls wife In Fort Worth. From his necktie he drew out a diamond scarf pin, with the request that it be given to Guard McCarthy for bis kindness to him. Tbe mob then disappeared. At daylight tbe bodies of the lynched men were cut down. • When the mob removed the men from the jail they failed to molest Oscar Peeler. 17 years old. who was implicated in the murder, but who bad turned state’s evidence. He said Miller killed Bobbitt. Jesse West paid Miller to commit the murder. For Over Thirty Years TacStrode Signature of NEW YORK. EXACT COPY OF WRAPPER. Restores - Over 1,000.000 Acres.

LENTZ C. L GLASGOW Officer*' Special Hiram Webster, the oldest railroad man in Nashville, both tn years and in length of service, met instant death at 4:37 yesterday afternoon by being struck by a special train nt the re­ verse curve west of Greggs crossing. Mr. Webster, who had charge of the section running west from Nashville, had his crew of men on the hand car with him. They had been at work on the west end of the section and were coming toward home at the time of the accident.' They had n*ot been notified of the coming of the special, but heard It coming behind them and were trying to get their car off the track when the engine struck the car. Mr. Webster stuck to the car an instant too long in an effort to get it in the clear and was caught by the engine and instantly killed. His crew, con­ sisting' of O. C. Kidder, George Hershberger, Guy Warner and Homer Hammond, were more alert and got out of the way in time to escape injury. The hand-car was struck and demolished. The special, consisting of an engine and one coach, containing Division Superintendent Wright, Train Mas­ ter D. J. Hackett and Assistant Gen­ eral Superintendent M. B. Snow, stopped and picked up the crew and the body of Mr. Webster and brought them to.the NashvHHe depot, where the remains of the unfortunate man jrere laid out in the baggage room to await the arrival of the coroner from Hast­ ings. . t Mr. Webster was a man over sixty years of age. but strong and active, he has had charge of section here for more than forty years and was con­ sidered one of the best men for that position on the road. He had planned to quit the road this fall and go to California to live. He leaves a wife and an. adopted daughter, Mrs. Adah Kuder, who lives at Passadena. California. He was a highly respected citizen of the village and his tragic death has cast a gloom over the entire community. ODD FELLOWS NIGHT. ioyment, as well as profit.

Mrs. Cherry man .presented repre­ sentatives from different parte of the country. She brought out distinct types, taking froffi the east two, from the south two. from the west two, and two from Michigan. . The eastern group comprehended Emerson and Richarg Harding Davis —Emerson as poet, Davis as short story writer. “Music” by Emerson and “Reagan's Baby” by'Davis were shown to have a common theme. The music al the heart of even darkest things. In the’ southern group were presented Sidney Lanier and Joel C. Harris. From Lanier the “Song of the Chattahoochee.” which Mrs. Cherryman characterized as having “A message as strong as Browning’s and a rhythm as musical as “Poe’s." “The Tan Baby”, from Harris, was chosen because of its being particular­ ly characteristic of the American plantation darkey. Mrs. Cherry­ man’s irresistible rendering met with incessant response and a hearty.en­ core. Mrs. Cherry man very kindly gave “Dan's Epitaph", by -Thomas Mrs. Cherryman chose Eugene Field for her western poet, and Robert J. Burdette for tier western story, and called attention to the “mother touch” which these two writers have in com­ mon. “Piltypat and Tippytoe,” by Field, as well as “Rollo”, by Bur­ dette, reached every mother heart in the audience and brought both tears and laughter. The Michigan numbers included “A Live Wire”, by our own Roy K. Moulton, and “Ninety-one” by Roy Rolfe Gilson, who was once one of our fellow-townsmen, and put the audience In the best of humor. Mrs. Cherryman, in response to a request for something from her own pen, gave'“The Open Sesame,” and being again encored gave “Wonder­ ing? ______ ______ DANGEROUS FAKES.

Monday night was Odd Fellows’ night in Nashville, and it was one of the best which the local fraternity has ever pulled off. The members of Nashville lodge, No 36, had been planning for some time for the occasion, and their arrangements were carried out to a complete success. The first part of the entertainment was held at the opera house and con­ sisted of a fine musical' and literary program, closing with a drill by a team from the lodge, and a tableau. The program opened with a violin solo by Mrs. A. A. McDonald, “The Flower Song.” Miss Edith Fleming gave a reading entitled “A True Story.’’ showing the devotion of brother to brother in misfortune. “She Rests by the Suanee River,” a vocal solo by Seward Hecox, re­ ceived merited applause. B. B. Braden read a paper on “The Objects of Odd Fellowship,” which covered his subject very com­ pletely and thoroughly. Mrs. O.’G. Mu..foe and Mrs. Millie Francis sang a duet in a highly pleas­ ing manner. “What Are Odd Fellows?” was answered beautifully in a reading by Mrs. G. W. Gallatin. Mrs. Nellie Fancher rendered r piano solo with artistic ability, and was followed by Chas. H. Raymond in a dialect reading of the story of ' David and Goliath,” which brought down the house. Misses Auro Munroe and Mildred Purchiss sang a pretty duet, after which Mr. andxMrs. C. G. Brumm put on a ten-minute sketch entitled “Joining the Odd Fellows,” which was exceedingly true to life and was only a repetition of scenes familiar to every “joiner.” Misses Mae Rothhaar and Cecil Zuschnitt acquitted themselves ex­ ceedingly well in a piano duet, and C. W. Appleton closed the program with a paper on “Odd Fellowship, and What it is,” a strong story tersely told. Following the literary and musical program a drill team from the lodge, wearing handsome new robes and uniforms, gave a drill which, consid­ ering the snort time for preparation, was exceedingly well done, and elicit­ ed hearty applause. Following the drill, the team posed in a beautiful tableau on the stage, closing theentertainment at the opera house. ’fhe Odd Fellows and their guests to the number of 170 then repaired to the lodge hall, where a splendid supper was served, the sisters of Morning Glory Jebekoh lodge assisting the brothers in serving and making everything pleasant for all. The Odd Fellows certainly have reason to be proud of the success of their efforts in getting up a very en­ joyable evening for themselves and their guests. The lodge is enjoying a solid and substantial growth and is one of the strong fraternal organiza­ tions of the village. ders, what the exhibitors call a bak­ ing powder test. They pretend to show by some boiling test that pure cream of tartar baking powders con­ tain something which every woman of intelligence knows they do not. It does not need a' chemist to ex­ pose tills trick. Cream of tartar, which is the chief constituent of the best and most wholesome baking powder, is originally a clear, white crystal. This is ground into a fine, creamy flour in which form, mixed with baking soda it is present in the baking powder. Cream of tartar, when mixed with water and boiled simply returns to its crystalline form and that is all there is to the socalled test. The matter of special interest to the public is to know what these people offer in place of cream of tartar powders of well known purity and es­ tablished reputation against which these slanders are directed. They are offering a baking powder which offi­ cial analyses have repeatedly shown is made from alum, a drug so well recognized by physicians and scien­ tists as injurious' to health that in many countries its use in bread is en­ tirely prohibited! So cheap and in­ ferior are tiie ingredients of this powder that it costs to make less than three cents a pound. No prudent housewife will knowingly put such stuff as this into her food.

Revised Dickinson Bill, Reported Out by House Committee, Is Taken as Substitute for the Colby Measure. Lanfilng.—In the report of tbe house election committee favoring a meas­ ure that is a revision of the Dickin­ son senate primary *1)111 was reflected the result* of the recent conference between the chairman and members of the house and senate committee's on election, in which an effort was made to settle upon a till that will meet with joint approval. The revised Dickinson bill, reported out In the house, and co be taken up as a substitute for the state-wide pri­ mary bill of Representative Colby of Detroit met with approval. The completed bill has been gone over by both house and senate elec­ tions committeemen and It has been tentatively agreed upon. The bill will pass the house without much change knd the senate will concur, only putting on amendments that will make no difference with the favor of the house, It is said. Following Is a resume of the bill: Mandatory—On governor, lieuten­ ant governor. United States senator, all congressmen, all legislator*;, all cir­ cuit judges. Optional—On all city and county of­ ficers, but option reversed so that cities and counties.must nominate by primary unless majority electors votes not -to do so. Exempted—State officers below lieu­ tenant governor, elected in fall and the judicial and other state officers named In spring. Primary Date—First Tuesday after first Monday In September making it day after Labor day. Recounts—To be conducted by boards of canvassers, not by circuit judges as proposed In Dickinson bill. Delegates—To county conventions to be named at primaries. Conventions—State conventions for minor state officers retained. Dele­ gates to be named at county conven­ tions held simultaneously throughout state. The Dickinson bill, with amend­ ments drawn from the Colby bill, was before the house. By a vote of 38 to 46 the house refused to strike out tbe-sectlon providing for an advisory vote on United States senator, and by a vote of 42 to 42 the house re­ fused' to make tbe bill state-wide in its sweep. Bring Out New Liquor Measure. Except that the committee makes optional the provision for the annual reduction of the number of saloons in any district, the bill amending the general liquor law of the state was re­ ported out. Monday in the house with­ out amendment. In the original bill there was a pro­ vision for the limitation of saloons to one for each 500 population. This clause went farther by indicating that where the number of saloons is in ex­ cess of this figure the council or board must annually decline to grant licenses to ten per cent of the total number of saloons, until the number is reduced to meet the limitations of tbe law. The committee changed this provision to make it optional with the districts affected. There is in the bill a provision that It may be optional with districts to decrease the limit number to one to each 1,000 of popu­ lation. — Object to Primary Fund Plan. About 150 members of the Michi­ gan Association of School Superin­ tendents and School Boards held a session here discussing school mat­ ters. The association gave to the legislature its views regarding educa­ tional legislation. Particularly are the members op­ posed to any plan which will allow the use of the primary school fund for any other purpose than that of paying teachers* salaries. The sev­ eral plans proposed in the legislature for apportioning the fund in a man­ ner that will divide it among districts are being discussed and an effort will be made by the association to decide which bill ahould receive its indorse­ ment Fix Status of Flats Property. The course the state will pursue re­ garding the St. Clair Flats Is marked out in three bills introduced in the legislature. If the bills are passed and approved by the governor, an an­ nual rental fee will be charged by the state to the occupants of the socalled lake bottom lands 'hich the state has won after ten or fifteen years* of litigation. The section in­ eluded is seven miles long and 3% wide. Care for Public Lands. The committee on public lands and forestry interests got together and de­ cided to report out a substitute for Ticket* on sale first and the Flowers and Morrice bills.

His part in the legislative doings at Lansing this winter has been an important 'one. Home Rule Bill Up. With the exception of one trouble­ some feature of the home rule ques­ tion the senate committee on city corporations prepared and reported out a completed bill which was taken up for consideration in the senate. Many plans have been considered in an effort to provide for. giving cities such representation on the county boards as would be satisfactory to the urban and suburban parts ot counties, but no one of them has proven satisfactory, because the town­ ship representatives have not been willing to concede tbe cities any law which would increase the representa­ tion of the municipalities to a point where they would be on an equal basis with the country districts. The bill provides fora charter com­ mission of nine members, elected at large. Provision is made in the bill requiring the election of a mayor and clerk aud a legislative body consisting either of a commission or council, whichever the people desire. Unanimous on Military Bill. Tbe Stewart military bill passed the house by an unanimous vote, with an amendment added to give to the Detroit companies |l,000 a year for armory rental. So far as is known there is no objection to tho bill in the senate, and It Is expected that it will pass there promptly. In general the bill is a revision of the present military law, making no extensive changes in the present or­ ganization of the state troops. An­ other important change is one that makes the summary court, established to try members of the guard for minor offenses, an efficient organization with power to compel the attendance of the accused and wit­ nesses. The appropriation per company for aiding in erecting armories has been increased from 110,000 to <15,000, but two companies a year. Instead of four, may be provided with the funds. Hoeft Bill Reported Out. The senate railway committee re­ ported out the bill of Representative Hoeft repealing the maximum carload short haul rate law, without recom­ mendation. and though a determined effort was made to table the bill for the purpose of holding it for further attention in case the railway commis­ sion bill should fall by the wayside, the measure took its regular place on the genera’. order. Helps Anti-Saloonlsts. By passing the Dickinson search and seizure bill, another step in the interests of antl-llquor legislation was taken by that body. This is the bill with which the Anti-Saloon league ex­ pects to be able to stringently enforce the law In local option counties. Publish Time Tables. Senator Lane's bill compelling rail­ way companies to publish, accurate time tables in towns and cities through which they run trains came up on third reading in the senate and was passed by a vote of 23 to 7. Notes of the Legislature. Senator Moriarty and Representa­ tive Dusenbury are trying to ascer­ tain whether the federal government intends to close the Indian school at Mt. Pleasant. If such is the case they have a plan on foot to have the state secure the property and establish a school for crippled and deformed children, who are barred from the state public school at Coldwater. On motion of Representative Baker, the house suspended "for the session” the bill prohibiting smoking during the hours the house is In session. Some members claim that under the rulings of Speaker Campbell, the rule will remain suspended until the house adjourns for good. The Collins bill providing for a state-wide system of uniform account­ ing was turned over to the senate committee on finance and appropria­ tions, as it carries an appropriation. If the legislature Is to adjourn io May the senate will havtf to hurry its bills over to the house within the next week or they will be lost tn the shuf­ fle. The house committee on game laws has decided to report out the bill pro­ hibiting a hunter killing more than one deer, as well as the bill requiring every hunter in the state to pay an annual license of one dollar. Des Moines, la.. Apr. 26.—J. C; Maybray, tbe accused swindler who has been declared by Mr*. Lillian Gates of St. Louis to be the murdered J. J. McCann, "Lord" Barrington's sup­ posed victim, has bared the hitherto carefully covered history of his life to newspaper men to show that he and McCann are not the same. Maybray declared that he was born in Mississippi, went west when young and rode its plains as a cowboy with Mayor Jim Dablman of Omaha. He told of running a rooming bouse in Omaha during the exposition and of his removal to Kansas City about 1900, where, he says, is his home. Maybray Produces Alibi. ‘ McCann was slain in St. Louis coun­ ty, Missouri, ten miles from BL Louis, in June, 1903. Maybray declares he was in Chicago in thq May preceding that month and returned to Kansas City the entire month of June, he soys, and • his wife who was beside him during the narrative corroborated the statement In July, he says, he went to Denver, where he was taken 111 and for weeks was near death. He returned to Kansas City late in the summer and declares all he knows of the Barrington case is what he re­ calls from the newspaper accounts at that time. “Mrs. Gates la insane,’’ said May­ bray. "When she came up here. I begged her to look me over and be­ cause of the notoriety that I have ac­ quired heretofore, to spare me and my wife any further humiliation. She told me that I would have to change my eyes before she would ever say that I am not McCann. Her story that I have scars on my thumbs is fatee.” Says She Failed Once. Maybray talked for an hour,- de­ clared that Mrs. Gates and a post of­ fice inspector named Swenson are working in the attempt to make him out the murdered McCann, and said they tried it at Little Rock, and there identified an altogether different man. "If Lord Barrington is Innocent. I am willing to help hl mget his liberty if I can. I have no wish to see him suffer whoever he is," said Maybray. Maybray points out that while J. L. Rollings, the sailor from the battle­ ship Wisconsin, identified him the sailor boy shook as if he were scared to death. “He was lying," says Maybray. Mrs. Lillian Gates is firm in her be­ lief that Maybray is McCann. She says she is not in the employ of the British government but that her fa­ ther and "Lord" Barrington Seymour, father of the Missouri convict, were old neighbors and that she and “Lord" Barrington were childhood friends in England. She says the corpse which was found and Identified as McCann was In reality the decayed trunk of a tree. Enumerates Identification Points. She enumerates the points upon which she bases her Identification. At first glance she recognized in Maybray the man for whom she has been searching for years; on seeing her. Maybray pleaded wltb her to give him consideration. J. L. Rollings, who knew Barring­ ton and McCann and was with them on the night preceding McCann’s dis­ appearance. identified Maybray as McCann as soon as he saw the pris­ oner in the Polk counjy Jail. Mrs. Gates received a letter months ago from San Francisco, signed "J. C. Maybray,” encouraging her in her ef­ forts to free "Lord” Barrington. Bar­ rington declares the signature was Mc­ Cann's and produced letters in which the writing was similar. Barrington, who Is in the peniten­ tiary at Jefferson City, Mo., serving a life .sentence for the McCann murder, a few days ago, when shown a picture of Maybray, which appeared In the Des Moines Daily Tribune, declared it to be a likeness of McCann. Two small scars on Maybray’s left hand correspond with similar scars knowns to have been borne by Mc­ Cann. INDIANA “DRYS” VICTORS. .

There’s always a reward for quick action coupled with good judgment, but in no other way is tbe reward so great as when the ijuick action and good judgment concern your health. The reward of completely restored health to a sick person is far greater than a reward of money, yet these same people allow disease to firmly fix its nold upon them when prompt, quick action .would avert it.| In the category of human ailments there are very few diseases that are really in­ curable, in fact the most of them will yield quickly to the proper treatment. Tremenduous good has been brought about by thorough diagnosis and pro­ per medicines and when sick people really understand that promptness is of vital importance then those results will be more than doubled. The Van Bysterveld 'Medicine' Co., Ltd. act quickly and accurately. Their reputation for quick and permanent relief has spread broadcast over the country, and one of their most em­ phatic points to the patient is “don't wait.” The use of the mailing case for urine has made it possible to quickly serve disrant patients, who receive projier medicines after the di­ agnosis has been madas In their work the Van Bysterveld Medicine Co., Ltd. have surrounded themselves with the most able chemist and doctors. A. W. Van Bysterveld, the noted chemist with this company, has made a life study of the human urine and through his urinalysis renders a satisfactory diagnosis. The medicines are pre­ sented by physicians who are skilled in their part of the work, and are sure to bring quick relief to the suffer­ er. Diseases of long standing have been permanently cured by this com­ pany's methods and the good words of patients are beard from every side. The cost of a complete diagnosis in­ cluding a week's medicine is tL.00 when urine is brought to the office and <1.25 when sent by mail.

MICHIGAN STATE NEWS YILDIZ GARRISON SURRENDERS AFTER TWO DAYS OF FIGHTING. , CONSTANTINOPLE IS INVADED ■ Constitutionalist Forces and Ruler’s Army Engage In Bloody Battle In ' Capital Streets—Man? Slain and Wounded—Massacre Victims 25,000. p , ■ > . . * Constantinople, Apr: 26.—Following two. days of hard fighting, the Ylldiz garrison surrendered yesterday to the Constitutionalist forces. The com­ manders of these battalions began ■ending In their submission to Mah­ moud Schefket Pasha Saturday night, after many had been killed and wounded, and the whole of the troops protecting the palace gave their for­ mal and unconditional surrender shortly after dawn. Niacl Bey, who is called the hero of the July revolu­ tion, now is In command- of the gar­ rison. Church to Oust Sultan. A caucus of senators and deputies determined to-day to make an effort to compel the sultan to abdicate under the ecclesiastical law, by the terms of which a decree may be Issued by the Sheik-ul-lslam, the highest authority of Mohammedanism next to the sultan, pronouncing him incapable of ruling. The grounds up<5n which the issu­ ance of a canonical rescript will be demanded are that the sultan's su­ premacy is harmful to the church, contrary to the sacred law and . un­ just to the Turkish people. The pro­ gram as agreed upon at the caucus is that a demand shall be made for Lhe abdication of Abdul Hauild simul­ taneously from the highest court of the church, from the national assem­ bly and from the military chiefs. The sultan will be offered a palace and liberal allowances. Last of Troops Surrender. This afternoon witnessed the final act in the siege of the Ylldiz, Gen. Schefket, commander of the Canstltu-. tionalists, over-awing the Albanians into surrender, which was composed Of 200 men, stationed in the Imperial palace. The Albanians were not en­ gaged In the fighting on Saturday, but they persistently refused to lay down their arms. The Salonikins show great severity. Many of the arrested softas, credited with being reactionaries, have been brutally treated and others, concern­ ing whose loyalty there Is doubt, have not entirely escaped. The vigorous search continues, even Into the Euro­ pean quarters. It is estimated now that a least 10.000 prisoners are In the hands of the Salonikins. Most of the American tourists have left the city. Martial law prevails, and while there is some uneasiness among the people, order has been maintained with a strict hand. The last garrison to surrender was the Sellmieh artil­ lery barracks, in Scutari, opposite Stamboul. Four thousand men sta­ tioned there with a hundred guns threatened to blow the city into ruins but Gen. Schefket ordered up CO big guns to positions which commanded the barracks and the cruiser Medijleh steamed out of range of the field pieces and prepared for action. Barracks Con-mander Surrenders. The commander fo the barracks thereupon submitted, and the artillerym<*t. will be marched out as the croops of the other garrisons al­ ready have been treated, and made temporary prisoners without arms, to •wait transfers to outlying districts. Following Saturday’s terrific fight­ ing, the city took on an aspect of strange quiet towards evening. There was some fear that there would be fur­ ther fighting during the night, as the forces of Gen. Schefket were strongly posted close to the palace. But be­ yond a few scattering shots there was nothing to disturb the peace of the city. The proclaiming of martial law in Constantinople and environs was fol­ lowed by a circular note which was sent to each of the foreign ambassadors. Col. Gallb, inspector general, has ■ been made responsible for the preser­ vation of order, and placards have been posted about the city, requesting the people to continue their business and open their shops. Report 25,000 Massacred. The situation in Asiatic Turkey is one of extreme gravity. How many thousands have been massacred can­ not even be estimated, because the disturbances have been so widespread that it Is impossible to secure details of the happenings during the past ten days. The latest estimates of the number killed in the vilayet of Adana reaches approximately 25,000. Confirmation has been received of the burning of the Armenian village of Kessah. All the men1 and many women and children have been slain. The American property at Kessab was destroyed. Miss Chambers, an Amerlcan missionary, la safe. Reports state that Hadjin, in the vilayet of Anana,. is on fire. There are five American women quartered there, including Mias Rose Lambert ot Elkhart, Ind., who has been tending out appeals for help. Miss Virginia A. Billings and Miss Bowman. The authorities have refused permission to Messrs. Lawson and Chambers, also American missionaries, to go to their relief. . Killed on Railroad Track.

W. 8. Taylor and former Secretary of State Charles Finley, who have been fugitives In the state of Indiana for nine years; to John Powers, brother of Caleb Powers, who Is believed to be in Hon­ duras; to Holland Whitttaker of But­ ler county, John Davis of Louisville and Zach Steele of Bell county, under Indictment and who did not flee the state. Those over whom Indictments are left hanging are Wharton Golden of Knox county, now In Colorado; Frank Cecil of Bell county, now a railroad detective in St Louis, and William H. Calton of Owsley county, said to have died in the west a few months ago. Youtsey Only One In Prison. These case, with the possible ex­ ception of . Cecil, will be dismissed, leaving Henry E. Youtsey, now serv­ ing a life sentence In the state peni­ tentiary, the only person to suffer for the taking off of Goebel. Reiterating the belief he expressed some months ago, when he granted pardons to Caleb Powers and James B. Howard, that no one but Youtsey had part In the murder, and. that it was not a conspiracy, as tho common­ wealth charged, Gov. Willson says he believes it a "sacred duty, which I must no longer delay, to carry this belief into effect." and grant pardon to the men charged, and who fled the state as they "had the greatest rea­ sons to believe” that they could not “have a fair trial,” and if they stayed here would be forced to trial before a partisan jury under conditions which would give them no chance at all for a just decision. 1i Freed Men Are Grateful.

JAPANESE ADMIRAL SAYS HIS COUNTRY IS FRIEND Tells ’’Fighting Bob’' Evans War with the United States Is Impossible. Los Angeles, Cal., Apr. 27.—Admiral H. E. Ijlchl, commander of the Jap­ anese training squadron now- at San Pedro, bad a long talk yesterday with Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans. The two admirals, who are old friends and who are now staying at the same hotel, discussed International ques­ tions, including the possibility of war between the United States and Japan. They agreed that war between the two nations was Impossible. “I see they have been trying to get us in trouble,” said Admiral Evans. “Yes,” replied Admiral Ijlchl. ‘‘But such a thing is perfectly Impossible. The United States and Japan under­ stand each other too well for anything of that kind. The people of your country and mine have too deep seat­ ed a friendship for each other to ever allow any trivial matter to bring about trouble.” "I agree with you,” said Evans. "Such a thought In ridiculous. "I would like to know,” Inquired Admiral Evans, "how your people suc­ ceeded In raising the Russian ships which you sank and In what condition you found them?” Admiral Ijlchl replied: "We raised the sunken battleships and cruisers at Port Arthur and Chemulpo without any great difficulty. We found that those at Port Arthur were not sunk by the mortar fire directed upon them from 203 Meter hill. None of the shells penetrated the protected decks, although the superstructure and gun mountings were badly shat­ tered. The ships were sunk by the Russians by opening the seacocks when they found the port must fall Into our hands. After raising the ships we found that - the projectiles had penetrated the wooden decks, but had flattened out against the steel and were lying there, It evidently would not have been possible to sink the ships by the fire from the heights.” ODD FELLOWS MEET.

Many a Nashville Household Will All and and the To have the pains and aches of a bad back removed: to be entirely free from annoying, dangerous urinary disorders is enough to make any kidney sufferer grateful. To tell how this great change can be brought about will prove comforting words to hundreds of Nashville readers. Ambrose Hatfield, Brook St., one and a half miles from Eaton Rapids, Mich., says: “When about twenty years old, I began to suffer from sciatic rheumatism.. For years I treated with the heat physicians at Potterville, Mich., where I previous­ ly resided and at Eaton Rapids but they could not cure.me. Then I be­ gan taking mineral baths here but this treatment did not benefit me and I became weak, nervous. and dis­ couraged. My kidneys become dis­ ordered, the secretions containing a sediment and scalding during passage. The rheumatic pains were most severe in my limbs and back but often ex­ tended up into my shoulders. One year I was so bad that I had to be assisted in and out of bed and in 11*04 I was confined to the house for six months, the trouble then seeming to lie worse than ever- before. I was also bothered by dizzy spells during which it seemed as if 1 were going to fall. One day my wife read an article about a person being cured of sciatic rheumatism by Doan's Kidney Pills. She prevailed upon me to try them and procured a supply for me. I be­ gan using the remedy and I obtained relief from the first., I gradually felt my strength coming ’back and the trouble and rheumatism lessening. I was soon able to do light work and nor nearly two years later, I can say that ! am thankful that Doan's Kid­ ney Pills came to my notice but I only wish that I had known • of them ten years sooner.’ ’ For sale by all dealers.

CATARRH CANNOT BE CURED, with local applications, as they can­ not reach the seal of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hail’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, aud acts directly on the blood’ and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine It was prescribed by one of th# l>est physi­ cians in this country for years and is a regular prescription. It is compos­ ed of thu-lM-si tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaces.

But al­ though he has sold hundreds of bot­ tles, not one has been brought back. Von W. Furniss wants every person in Nashville who - has constipation, dyspepia, headache, or liver trouble to come to his store or send him 25 cents by mail and get 60 doses of the best medicine ever made at half the regular price, with his personal guar­ antee to refund the money if it does not cure.

Editor NewsiWell, how are you and all the other people in Nashville? Our boys are in good spirits and have had a fine trio thus far. We left Chicago on the C. Crape* give M. & St. Paul. It was nearly dark Absolutely when we left, therefore did not see the chief ingredient, Pure A much of the country for some dis­ v the active principle, gSEffi tance. There were snow and ice all the way to Milwaukee and we passed and healthfulness, to through a snow storm. We left St. Paul at 10:15 a. m. and nearly all the distance through Min­ nesota, I saw nothing that looked good to me. The country was level and the soil looked as though it was very light. There were miles of pine land with the timber taken off and a large share of the land was broken. As we neared the Dakota line, the land grew better, until it seemed as though theft: was no chance for im­ provement. We saw fifteen four to six horse teams on J one side of the track and another gang of about the ^flbsolutely Pure same number on the other side, all on one ranch. It certainly is a very fer­ tile country, if it is cold. It was snowing hard when we went to sleep that night. Tbe next morn­ a ing we were in tne Yellowstone valley. There Is some fine scenery along this valley. With the exception of the valley, the country is good for noth­ ing but grazing. We could see the horses, sheep and cattle on the range all the way through this part of the country. We staid overnight at Bozmsn, Montan*. It is a lively town with a population of 4,000. There are ROYAL BAKING k POWDER Insures wholesome and deli, ^cious food for every day in every home . When returning from the country Monday afternoon. E. V. Smith had a rather exciting ride. He was driv­ ing a two-year-old colt and every­ thing was going along all right Until a portion of the harness broke and the colt became unmanageable. Rounding the bend at the foot of the standpipe hill, Bert thought the Outfit was going to hit the drink, and he started to jump out. Just at that time the wheel struck a stone, which helped him along some and he landed in a heap in a somewhat demoralized Condition. The colt struck one of the bents of the bridge and narrowly es­ caped taking a plunge bath, but final­ ly righted and went home in good shape. Bert went home. too. but his right wheel wasn’t working just right. NEXT LECTURE COURSE. Nashville is assured of u high-class lecture course again next winter, the Nashville Club having closed a con­ tract this week for the course w'th the exception of one number. .negotiations for which are under way. The course will include Rounds’ luidles orches­ tra. one of the stellar musical attrac­ tions. which has been for many years on the road, and which has always been a big drawing card; Hon. Frank A. Dean of Charlotte in his "Glimp­ ses of Sunny Climes," said by all who have heard it to l>e even better than his “Ireland"; The Morphets. in an evening of music, mirth and magic, one of the leading Chautauqua at­ tractions now on the platform: and John G. Scorer, a lecturer who is in everyway the equal of Dr. McClary, who so greatly 'pleased his Nashville audience last season. This list of talent, in connection with the other numl>er which it is hoped to secure, will make undoubtedly the strongest course of entertainments which Nash­ ville has ever had in one season. The season tickets will l»e placed on sale about the first of September and the course will probably open the latter part of October. MARKET REPORTS.

In the dull hot dusk of a lummer’* <ay a green tonring car, swinging out «t (he East drive, pulled up smartly, tmnbllng. at the edge of the Flftyadnth street car tracks, then more se­ dately. under the dispassionate but Ehful eye of a mounted member of traffic squad. lurched across the n and merged itself in the press of vehicles south bound on the avenue. Its tonneau held four young men. All more or leas disguised In dust, dus­ ters and goggles: forward, by the side of the grimy and anxious-eyed mechan-1c. sat a fifth, in all visible respects the counterpart of his companions. Be­ neath his mask, and by this I do not inean his goggles, but the mask of iiaoderp manner which the worldly ■wear, he was. and Is, different He was Daniel Maitland, Esquire; for Whom no further Introduction should Ito required, after mention of the fact that he was, and remains, the Identical gentleman of means and position in the social and financial worlds, whose somewhat sober but sincere and whole­ hearted participation in the wildest of conceivable escapades had earned him the affectionate regard of the younger Mt, together with the sobriquet of -Mad Maitland.” Bls companions of the day, the fonr in the tonneau, were in that humor of subdued yet vibrant excitement which Is apt to attend the conclusion of a kJug. hard drive over country roads. Maitland, on the other hand (judging him by his preoccupied pose), was al­ ready weary of, if not bored by, the hare-brained enterprise -which, In­ Itiated on the spur of an idle moment and directly due to a thoughtless re­ mark of his own, had brought him 100 miles (or so) through the heat of a broiling afternoon, accompanied by •pints as ardent and irresponsible as Ids own, in search of the dubious dis­ traction afforded by the night side of the city. As, picking Its way with elephantine nicety, the motor car progressed down the avenue—twilight deepening, arcs upon their bronze columns blossoming suddenly, noiselessly into spheres of opalescent radiance—Mr. Maitland ceased to respond, ceased even to give bMd. to the running fire of chaff (largely personal) which amused his companions. Listlessly engaged with a cigarette, he lounged upon the green leather cushions; half closing his eyes, and heartily wished himself free for the evening. But he stood committed to the hu­ mor of the majority, and lacked entire­ ly the shadow of an excuse to desert; Infuldition to which he was altogether too lazy for the exertion of manu­ facturing a He of serviceable texture. And so abandoned himself to his fate, even though he foresaw with weariful particularity the programme of the coming houis. To begin with, 30 minutes were to be devoted to a bath and dressing In his rooms. This was something not so unpleasant to contemplate. It was the afterwards that repelled him: Dinner at Sherry's, the subsequent tour of roof gardens, the late supper at a club, and then, prolonged far into the small .hours, the session around some greencovered table in a close room reeking with the fumes of good tobacco and hot with the fever of gambling. . . >. Abstractedly Maitland frowned, tersely summing up: "Beastly!"—In an undertone. At this the green car wheeled ab­ ruptly round a corner below Thlrty' fourth street, slid half a block or more east, and came to a palpitating halt. Maitland, looking up, recognized the entrance to his apartments, and sighed with relief for the brief respite from boredom that was to be his. He rose, negligently shaking off his duster, and stepped down to the sidewalk. Somebody in the car called a warning after him, and turning for a moment he stood at attention, an eye­ brow raised quizzically, cigarette drooping from a corner of his mouth, hat pushed back from EIb forehead, hands In coat pockets; a tall, slender, sparsely built figure of a man, clothed Immaculately in flannels. When at length he was able to make himself heard: "Good enough.” ho said clearly, though without rasing his voice. “Sherry’s in an hour. Right. Now, behave yourselves.” ! “Mind you show up on time!" “Never fear," returned Maitland over his shoulder. A witticism was flung back at him from the retreating car, but spent ttaelf unregarded. Maltland's atten­ tion was temporarily distracted by the unusual—to say the least—sight of a young and attractive woman coming out of a home for confirmed bachelors. The apartment 'house happened to be his own property. A substantial and old-fashioned edifice, situated in the middle of a quiet block, It con­ tained but five roomy and comfortable suites—in other words, one to a floor; and these were without exception ten­ anted by unmarried men of Mait­ land's own circle and acquaintance. The janitor, himself a widower and a convinced misogynist, lived alone in the basement Barring very special gnd exceptional occasions (as -when one of the bachelors felt called upon to give a tea in partial recognition ot social obligations), the foot of woman never crossed its threshold. In this circumstance. Indeed, was comprised the singular charm the house had for its occupants. The quality which Insured them privacy and a quiet Independence rendered them oblivious to its many minor drawbacks, Its lack of many conven­ iences and luxuries which have of late grown to be so commonly regarded .as necessities. It boasted, for Instance, no garage; no refrigerating system maddened those dependent upon it; a dissipated electric lighting system never went out of nights, because it had never been Installed; no brass­ bound hall boy lounged in desuetude upon the stoop and took too Intimate and personal an interest in the ten­ ants' correspondence. The Inhabi­ tants, in brief, were free to come and go according to the dictates of their consciences, un supervised by neigh­ borly women folk, unhindered by a parasitic corps of menials not in their personal employ. Wherefore was Maitland astonished, and the more so because of the season. At any other season of the year he would readily have accounted for the phenomenon that now fell under his observation, on the hypothesis that the woman was somebody's sister or cous­ in or aunt But at present that expla­ nation was untenable; Maitland hap­ pened to know that not one of the oth-1 er men was tn New York, barring himself; and his own presence there was a thing entirely unforeseen. Still incredulous, he mentally conned the list: Barnes, who occupied the first flat, was traveling on the con­ tinent; Conkllrig, of the third, had left a fortnight since to join a yachting party on the Mediterranean; Bannister and Wilkes, of the fourth and fifth floors, respectively, were in Newport and Buenos Aires. "Odd!" concluded Maitland. So it was. She had just closed the door’ one thought; and now stood poised as if in momentary indecision on the low stoop, glancing toward Fifth avenue the while she fumbled with a refractory button at the wrist of a long white kid glove. Blurred though It was by the darkling twilight and a thin veil, her face yet conveyed an Impression of prettiness; an Im­ pression enhanced byx careful groom­ ing. From her hat. a small affair, something green, with a superstruc­ ture of gray ostrich feathers, to the tips of her russet shoes—Including a walking skirt and bolero of shimmer­ ing gray silk—she was distinctly "smart” and interesting. He had keenly observant eyes, had Maitland, for all his detached pose; you are to understand that he com­ prehended all these points in the flick­ ering of an instant. For the incident was over in two seconds. In one the l"dy's hesitation was resolved; in an­ other she bad passed down the steps and swept by Maitland without giving him a glance, without even the trem­ bling of an eyelash. And he bad a view of her back as she moved swiftly away toward the avenue. Perplexed, he lingered upon the stoop until she had turned the corner; after which he let himself in with a latch key. and. dismissing the affair temporarily from bls thoughts, or pre­ tending to do so. ascended the single flight of stairs to his flat. Simultaneously heavy feet were to be heard clumping up the basement steps; and surmising that the janitor was coming to light the hall, the young man waited, leaning over the balus­ ters. His guess proving correct, he called down: “O'Hagan? Is that you?" 'Th' saints preserve us! But 'twas yernllf gave me th’ sthart. Mlsther Maitland, sor!" O'Hagan paused tn the gloom below, his upturned face quaintly Illuminated by the flame of a wax. taper In his raslisbter. CHRONIC CHEST COMPLAINTS Sight of a Young and Attractive Wom­ an Coming Out of a Homo for Con­ firmed Bachelors. “Nlvver a wan, sor. Sbure, th’ house do be quiet's anny tomb—" “Then who was tflat lady, O'Hagan?" “Leddy, sor?"—In unbounded amaze­ ment. "Yes.” impatiently. "A young wom­ an left the bouse just as I was com­ ing in. Who was she?" "Shore an* I think ye must be dr'amln*, sor. Dlvvle a female—raysplcta to ye!—has been in this bouse for manny an' manny th' wake, sor." "But, I tell you—" "Belike 'twas somewan list sthepped Into the vesthtbule, mebbe to tie her shoe, sor, and ye thought—" . “Oh, very well." Maitland relin­ quished the inquisition as unprofitable, willing, to concede O'Hagan's theory a reasonable one, the more readily since he himself could by no means havd sworn that the woman had actually come out through the door. ■ Such had merely beeh his Impression, honest enough, but founded on circumstan­ tial evidence. “When you’re through, O'Hagan,” he told the Irishman, "you may come and shave me and lay out my things. If you will.”’ "Very good, sor. In wan minute." But O'Hagan's conception of the passage of time was a thought vague; his one minute had lengthened into ten before he appeared to wait upon his employer. New and again, tn the absence of the regular “man.” O'Hagan would at­ tend one or another of the tenants In the capacity of substitute valet; as in the present Instance, when Maitland, having left his host's roof without troubling even to notify his body-serv­ ant that he would not return that night, called upon the janitor to under­ study the more trained employe; which O'Hagan could be counted upon to do very acceptably. Now, with patience unruffled, since he was nothing keen for the evehlng's enjoyment. Maitland made profit of the interval to wander through his rooms, lighting the gas here and there and noting'that all was as it should be. as it had been left—save that every article of furniture and bric-a-brac seemed to be sadly in want of a thorough dusting. In the end he brought up in the room that served him as study and lounge—the drawing room of the flat, as planned in the for­ gotten architect's scheme—a large and well-lighted apartment overlooking the street. Here, pausing beneath the chandelier, he looked about him for a moment, determining that, as else­ where, ail things were In order—but gray with dust. Finding the atmosphere heavy, stale, and oppressive, Maitland moved over to the windows and threw them open. A gush of warm air, humid and redo­ lent of the streets, invaded the room, together with the roar of traffic from its near-by arteries. Malttand rested elbows on the Bill and leaned out, star­ ing absently Into the night; for by now it was quite dark. Without con­ cern, b® realized that he would be late at dinner. No matter; he would as willingly miss it altogether. For the time being he was absorbed in vain speculations about an unknown wom­ an whose sole claim upon his consid­ eration lay in a certain but immaterial glamour of mystery. Had she, or bad she not, been in the house? And. If the true answer were In the affirma­ tive, to what end. upon what errand? His eyes focused insensibly upon a void of darkness beneath him—night made visible by street lamps; and he found himself suddenly and acutely sensible of the wonder and mystery of the City; the City whose secret life ran fluent upon the hot, hard pave­ ments below, whose voice throbbed, sibilant, vague, strident. Inarticulate, upon the night air; the City of which he was a part equally with the girl in gray, whom he had never before seen, and in all likelihood was never to see again, though the two of them were to work out their destinies within the bounds of Manhattan island. And yet . . . "It would be strange," said Maitland thoughtfully, "If . . He shook bis head, smiling. "'Two shall be born.*** quoted Mad Maitland, senti­ mentally— • " 'Two shall be born the whole wide world apart—’*' A piano organ, having maliciously sneaked up beneath his window, drove Mm indoors with a crash of metallic melody.

Linscott For the In­ ternationa! Newspaper Bible Study Club. (Copyright, 1S09. by Rev. T. S. Linscott, D.D.J May 9th, 1909. Paul’s First Missionary Journey— Antioch in Plsidla. Acts xlii: 13-52. Golden text—The word of the Lord was published throughout all the re­ gion. Acts xill:49. Verse 13—At what points had Paul and Barnabas touched, according to the last lesson? What Important events were nar­ rated in tbe last lesson? ' Look up your map and say where are Paphos, Perga, and Antioch in Pisldla. Verse 14—Should a Christian al­ ways attend church on Sunday, if he has the opportunity, whether at home or abroad? If a man does not act like a Christ­ ian when away from home, is he a real Christian when at home, no mat­ ter what his outward acts may be? Verse 15.—Are not our present day churches too stiff and formal, com­ pared with tho services in tills syna­ gogue? Should not our services be suffi­ ciently elastic to call upon others be­ side the pastor, to take part in them? Verse 16.—Were there many devout Jews and others, in those days, who feared God and were accepted of him. who had not embraced Christianity? Should preachers and teachers In addressing non-Chrlstlan audiences, assume that there may be some of the number who really “fear God," notwithstanding that they may never have heard of Jesus? (This question must be answered in writing by mem­ bers of the club.) Verses J "-37—In addressing a hos­ tile audience it la well for a speaker to commence with things which they believe In common, making them leXfl up tn the main question; what matters did Paul refer to. in carrying out this wise rule? What pointe tn this address of Paul’s would you say were the moet striking? Verses 38-39 — In what sense can God forgive sins through Jesus, that he could not through the law of Moses? Granted a future life of rewards and punishments, what question dan com­ pare in Importance with the forgive­ ness of sins? Are men sane who neglect to have their sins forgiven, seeing they admit the grave dangers of delay? Verses-40-41—What do unconverted sinners need to "beware of?** Why do sinners not accept of the salvation offered to them by Jesus? Verses 42-43—What is it a sign of. ’ when men want to hear the gospel preached ? Is there always an affinity between spiritual people, notwithstanding dif­ ferences ol opinion? Does it do us all good to be urged to be true to God? Verses 44-45—Does the story of the cross still draw crowds as It did at Antioch? When one preacher is jealous at the good another preacher Is doing, what is that a sign of? Is a truh good man ever jealous of the good others are doing? Verses 46-49—Is God more partial to one nationality than be Is to another? Does God ordain all those to eternal life who will accept of Jeans? Are gladness and joy always In the hearts of those who .love and serve God? Verses 50-52—When the bad perse­ cute the good, which gets the real trouble?

TAXES WILL GO DON’T FORGET THAT The Old Reliable Grocery IS HEADQUARTERS FOR ALL PRACTICAL HIGHER Omnibus Appropriation BIH,—intro* duced. Call* for $3,350,000 for General Expenses of State Government. Lansing.—Belief that the taxes will be higher this fall was furnished when the omnibus appropriation bill, which provides for the tax to meet the gen­ eral expenses of the state government, was introduced in the house. It calls for a gross aggregate of >3,350,000 for the next two years, which Is >2.250,000 more than the omnibus bill of two years ago. In addition the state may have to borrow >250,000 to help out the treasury. The bill provides for spending >2,250,000 in 1909 and >1,000.000 in 1910. This will mark the most extravagant administration in the history* of the * state. Two years ago the omnibus bill was >1,100,000. The strain was too great, however. Now the taxpayers may have to make up a shortage of nearly >2,000,000. In the bill the deficit is figured on a basis of >1,000,000, but part of this will be made up by bor­ rowing. H <csentatlve Speer has introduced the Appropriation bill for the state highway department. It calls for >400,000 for the next two years, of which >24,000 is for office expenses. The senate failed to muster a quo­ rum Friday and did not meet until Monday night, while the house held another session Saturday morning and resumed Monday afternoon, as there are over 100 bills on the general order and the list Is getting bigger every day. For the first time in more thatf forty years the house of Michigan held over for a Saturday session. This de­ cision came when - Representative Cramton's resolution was adopted. Speaker Campbell has now decided that the legislature must adjourn May 15, but it Is going to be a harder job than it was before to get the house to agree on a date until the members have a pretty definite idea of how things stand. The opticians finally secured the passage of the bill giving them ‘' a commission, and Senator Dickinson slid through his anti-cigarette bill, which presumably applies to minors but is really Intended to be pro- [ hlbltory. In Its present shape the | measure is not worth the paper It i is written on._.

GLASGOW Had Representative Rice been a member of tbe ways and means com­ mittee of congress Instead of chair­ man of that body in the Michigan leg­ islature he might to-day be gnashing his teeth at the things which the sen­ ate did to the Payne bill. But as it is, Solon Rice, who. by the way, halls from Berrien county, which recently refused to go "dry” does not gnash his teeth about anything which happens at Lansing. SoHtida Keynote of . Reform. senator Tuttle sounded the keynote af true reform In the senate when he attacked the system under which the state institutions are now operated. The discussion was brought up byJ.be consideration of a bill to place the Home for Feeble Minded and Epilep­ tics at Lapeer under the same system as the other asylums and prisons. For some, reason when that insti­ tution was established a provision was placed in that act requiring it to apply for an appropriation for maintenance as well as Improvements. The other institutions are exempt, expending what they please and turning in bills. "This bill should not be permitted to pass,1' declared Senator Tuttle. "Instead, the system under which ovt state institutions are permitted if spend money ad libitum should be abolished. The system Is wrong, and it has resulted In the grossest extrava­ gance being practised. The officials in control deny themselves nothing, knowing that the stale will have to foot the bill. "The trouble Is that our state insti­ tutions have become private corpora­ tions and resent any interference with their methods. 1 say to you, with full knowledge of the fact, that the state can save $250,000 the first year tuat the system is abolished. What a farce It is to have the state board of audi­ tors passing on accounts when the money has practically been spent. The institutions don’t ask for money; they simply run up the bills, and it is high lime to call a halt.** Reduce U. of M. Income.

Buster Brown suits of gala­ tea cloth $1.25. . Senator Kline went after the Uni­ versity of Michigan by Introducing a bill to reduce the tax from threeeighths to one-quarter al a mill. Some of the farmers In the house also are after the agricultural college, which receives one-tenth of a mill tax. Up to four years ago the amount derived from this tax was limited to $100,000, but the limit was removed, giving the institution about $73,000 additional Now the farmers want the board to set aside about $21,000 for building an elevator in the woman's building, im­ proving the stock and providing for work in soil survey,? and horticulture. The board wants separate appropria­ tions for these matters and Represen­ tative Schantz declares that unless they are provided outside of the reg­ ular appropriation a bill will be passed to restore the $100,000. Must Keep Only One Quarter. At present banks In small cities are required to keep one-half of their re­ quired reserve on hand in cash. Sev­ eral weeks ago a bill passed the sen­ ate reducing the amount to one-quar­ ter in cities under 2,000 population. It came up in committee of the whole in the house and finally got through, though Representative Copley tried hard to make the amount one-third, on the ground that it opened the door to loose banking methods. Saturday and Monday Sessions. Representative L. C. Cramton of La­ peer circulated an agreement among members of the house under the terms of which those signing declare they will remain here over Sunday for sessions on Saturday and Monday. Cramton says.that all except three out of 32 legislators canvassed have signed. The agreement does not go Into effect unless 65 members sign. No Senate Week-End Sessions. The senate agreed to the bill au­ thorizing the state auditors to borrow $250,000 for a period not exceeding three years, and passed a number of appropriation bills on third reading.

Washington, May 4.—It ha* been many a day since a decision ot the supreme court of the United States has been received with so much In­ terest as was manifested in the deci­ sion of that court yesterday in what are known as the "commodities clause” cases affecting the anthracite coal-carrying railroads. These cases bad been decided by the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Pennsylvania fa­ vorably to the railroads in that the clause of the Hepburn rate law, which prohibits interstate railroads from carrying commodities manufac­ tured, mined or produced directly or indirectly by the roads, wa* declared unconstitutional and the general im­ pression had been that that decision would be affirmed by the supreme court. When, therefore, there was a reversal Instead of an affirmation the interest was much magnified. When again It was found that the reversal was based on technical grounds and . that the effect was really favorable to the railroads, sentiment took another turn, and those who bad been anxious­ ly awaiting the announcement of the result found themselves much puz­ zled. Analysis of Decision. The court's judgment was announced by Justice White. Analyzed. Justice White’s decision is that congress did not ■ transcend its constitutional au­ thority In the enactment of the com­ modifies provision, but on the other hand, It was held that the govern­ ment’s construction of the provision ’bad been entirely too comprehensive. As construed by the court, the sole ob­ ject of the clause is to prevent car­ riers from being associated in inter­ est with the commodities transported at the time of transportation, hence that the law only prohibits the trans­ portation of articles when they have been produced by a railway company which has not, in good faith, parted with them, when the company owns or controls, In whole or in part, the commodity to be transported, and when the company has an Interest di­ rect or indirect In the commodity In a legal sense. It was especially held, however, that the prohibition does not apply to the ownership of stock in a producing company, but that a carrier may own stock In such a company, and at the same time transport the product of that company.

We want to convince every rheumatic sufferer at our expense that our Rheumatic Remedy does what thousands of so-called remedies have failed to accomplish—actually cures Rheumatism. You cannot coax Rheumatism out through the feet or sk'in with plasters or cunning metal contrivances. You cannot tease it out with liniments,‘electricity or magnetism. You cannot imagine it out with mental science. You must 'drive it out. It is in the blood and you must go aftei it and get it. This is just what Ha-Sau Rheumatic Remedy does and that is why it cures Rheumatism. Rheumatism is Uric Acid, and Uric Acid and Ha-San Rheumatic Remedy cannot live together in the same blood.

Furness Grand Rapid* -Division of Michigan Central Next In Line for Great Improvement. ly gave his verbal promise that the Michigan Central would endorse the bonds of the GrandRiver Valley com­ pany, see to the completion and equip­ ment of the road, and that it should then be leased to the Michigan Cen­ tral at a fixed rental, equivalent to five per cent on its full paid capital stock. That agreement was kept to the letter. It enabled the company to complete the road. And now, H. B. Ledyard, Mr. Joy’.s successor as pres­ ident of the Michigan Central, has taken the initiative . in proposing the double-tracking of the line and exe­ cuting the new .fifty-year mortgage, which the stockholders of the Grand River'Valley company have unani­ mously agreed to. The work will be commenced soon and pushed forward to completion as rapidly as possible. Spending a con­ siderable portion of a million and b half dollars along the line, in lower­ ing grades, straightening curves, con­ structing the second track, building .new bridges, etc., and making a firstclass road, of the high standard of the Michigan Central, will be of present and permanent benefit to the people all along the line, and will give to Grand Ranids and Jackson as rapid and reliable service as is possessed by any Michigan or other svestern cities. For several years past railroad men employed on the Grand Rapids di­ vision of the Michigan Central have been of the opinion that it was only a question of a short time when the in­ creasing traffic on this branch would necessitate the double-tracking of the division. Two years ago an immense amount of work was done on the west end which looked as though the management of the road was looking forward to that end. Several miles of grading was done, and long sidings were put in at various points along the line. Sever­ al of the older employes remarked at that time that it was work which would help things albng a great deal toward double-tracking when the time should arrive that such a move was decided upon. Last month a meeting of the board of directors was held at Jackson, at which time it was decided to execute a new. mortgage on the road .and its franchises to the amount of $4,500,000, the sum to be used in paying off the present indebtedness of $1,500,000.00, which is due in September of this year, ATTEMPT TO KILL SCHANTZ. another million and a half to be used in double-tracking the division froth Barry County's Representative Jackson to Grand1 Rapids, and the balance to be held in the treasury for Murderously Assaulted by future improvements.

Then, with a satisfied smile, he turned away, with purpose to dispose of Bannerman's note. . "Bath’s ready, sor.” O'Hagan’s announcement fell upon heedless ears. Mailland remained mo­ tionless before the desk—transfixed with amazement "Bath's ready, sor!"—imperatively. Maitland roused slightly. "Very well; in a minute, O'Hagan." Yef for some time he did not move. Slowly the heavy brows contracted over intent eyes as he strove to puztie it out At length his lips moved noiselessly. "Am I awake?” was the question he put'his consciousness. Wondering, he bent forward and drew the tip of one forefinger across the black polished wood of the writing­ bed. It left a dark, heavy line. And beside, clearly defined in the heavy layer of dust was the silhouette of a hand; a woman’s hand, small, delicate, unmistakably feminine of contour. "Well!" declared Maitland, frankly, "I am damned!" Further and closer inspection de­ veloped the fact tha’ the Imprint had been only recently made. Within the hour—unless Maitland were indeed mad or dreaming—a woman had stood by that desk and rested a hand, palm down, upon It; not yet had the dust - had time to settle and blur the sharp outlines. Maitland shook bls head with be■ vrilderment. thinking of tbe gray girl. Put no. He rejected his half-formed explanation—the obvious one. Besides, .what had he there worth a thief's while? Beyond a few articles of "virtue and bigotry" and his pictures, ’ there was nothing valuable in the en­ tire fiat His papers? But he had nothing; a handful of letters, cheque book, a pass book, a japanned tin dis­ patch box containing some business memoranda and papers destined event­ ually for Bannerman's hanu^; but nothing negotiable, nothing worth a burglar’s while. It was a flat-topped desk, of mahog­ any, with two pedestals of drawers, all locked. Maitland determined this lat­ ter fact by trying to open them with­ out a key; falling, his key-ring solved the difficulty in a jiffy. But the draw­ ers seemed undisturbed; nothing had been either handled, or removed, or displaced, so far as he could deter­ mine. And again he wagged his bead from side to side in solemn stupefac­ tion. 'This Is beyond you. Dan, my boy.” And: "But I've got to know what it In the hall O'Hagan was shuffling Impatience. Pondering deeply,. Mait­ land rHocked the desk and got upon bls feet. A small bowl of beaten brass, which be used as an ash receiver, stood ready to his hand; be took it up, carefully blew it clean of dust, and inverted it over the print of the hand.

So well satisfied were the members with the results attained that the rules were suspended and the measure placed on immediate passage; It passed 83 to 2, the two nays being Representatives Beeman and Jensen. The salient features of the bill ar* as follows: Limits saloons to one to each 500 population, with a home rule provi­ sion that If any city, village or-townshlp desires a smaller .number of saloons it can bo accomplished by passing the desired ordinance. Pres­ ent saloons are not wiped, out, but no new ones are permitted until the number falls below th* legal ratio. Prohibits women and ex-convicts from bolding saloon licenses. Prohibits druggists from selling malt or brewed liquors, confining them to malt extracts and to spirituous liquors to be sold only on prescrip­ tions, which must be recorded. Fixes the open hours for saloons from 6 a. m. to 9 p. m., with the proviso that the common council of any city or village may extend the hour for closing to 12 o'clock mid­ night Revokes the license of any person who is twice .convicted of violating the liquor laws. Solons to Quit.June 2. The legislature will adjourn May 18, with final adjournment on June 2. The die was cast when the house concurred in the senate resolu­ tion. This will make the shortest ses­ sion of the legislature since 1867, with 102 elapsed days and 86 actual work­ ing days, providing the coming two Saturdays are taken advantage of. As a matter of record it can hardly be said that the session has been lauded, due in a measure to th* large number of new member* with limited knowledge of state affairs. Another cause is said to be that members have followed tbe course of looking only after their own bills and not watching the course of legislation as ciosejy as they should have done.

The man maintained his al­ ienee and had nothing to say. When Mrs. Boyle gave her belong­ ings to the matron, she asked permis­ sion to keep a small mirror she car­ ried, saying: "I do not want to leave it behind as that would make me have •even years of bad luck."

Will Mak*' Impressions Winnebago Digit* to Widow's Slayer. of Find Win De bago, III., May 11.—In a final effort to solve the mystery cf -the- mur­ der of Mrs. Margaret Grippen. cousin of Gen. Lew Wallace, author of ;'Ben Hur," the authorities of this city and county have decided to take finger impressions of every man and woman tn Winnebago. The Winnebago murder is attracting the attention of the entire country. As Mrs. Grippen is not known to have bad any enemies and as .not a penny’s worth of property was stolen and nd one could have benefited by her death, all that remains upon which de­ tectives may work is the finger print in blood made on a lamp chimney by the murderer Just before hl* escape from the bouse. Satisfied that the murder can only be solved by mean* of the Impression on the blood-stained chimney. Mrs. M. E. Holland, one of the best known finger-print experts and woman de­ tectives In Hie country, has been called to Winnebago by Sheriff Collier to compare the print* of every one of the 1,000 inhabitant* of the village. This work will be commenced today. Should It prove fruitless every known acquaintance of Mr*. Grippen. whether the resident of her home town or of some other city, will be compelled to submit to the teat. This action was decided upon when It was learned that for the past 25 years Mn. Grippen apparently . had lived in fear of her life and that after 5:30 o'clock every night she exercised great caution in allowing vislton to enter her home, questioning them as to who they were and before unbar­ ring the door, peering from a front window in order to be positive of the Identification. This fact h*s led the police and de­ tectives to the conclusion that the murder was in all probability commit­ ted by a resident of the town who was probably-well known to his vic­ tim.

The Nashville high school base ball team took a journey over to Ver­ montville last Saturday and won a game from them by a score of 15 to 1. While the score looks lopsided it is not as bad as it looks, as the Ver­ montville boys played hard all the time and with a little more experience will take some hustling to l>eat them. The Nashville boys have played tore* games so far this season, losing one and winning two. The one they lost was a “hard luck" game and should have lieen won. It was lost to the Middleville H. S.—the same team that will play here Saturday. George Williams, aged H5 years, a hermit living in'a little cabin in Balti­ more township, was taken to ithe Kalamazoo insane asylum Saturday by Sheriff Ritchie. Williams has been a resident of Barry county 45 years and is a veteran of the Civil war. Of late be has been living in a little cabin on the Green farm, and showed signs of insanity. He alarm­ ed the whole neighborhood by threaten­ ing to kill |>ersons whom he’ supj»osed irying to steal his property. His place was heavily armed, and reports of bis guns bp he blazed away at supposed robbers at night could often be heard. Recently he brandished a shot gun in front of an old lady to de­ monstrate how he intended to get rid of his enemies. Supervisor Williams applied to Probate Judge Mack to have Williams examined by phy­ sicians. Sheriff Ritchie lured the old man away from his guns and brought him to jail. ball team for Nashville for the com­ ing season are requested to attend a meeting to be held at the Nashville Club rooms Friday evening of thia week.

Standing on the corner of Twenty-sixth street be thought it over, tapping the sidewalk gently with his cane. Should he or should he not car­ ry out his intention as declared to Bannerman, and go to Greenfields that nine night? Or should he keep his be­ lated engagement with Creasy's party? An errant cabby, cruising aimlessly but hopefully, sighted Maitland's tall figure and white shirt from a distance, and bore down upon him with a gal­ lant clatter of hoofs. "Kebstrr be demanded, breathless­ ly. pulling tn at the corner. Maitland came out of his reverie and looked up slowly. “Why, yes, thank you,” he assented, amiably. "Where to. sir?" Maitland paused on the forward deck of the craft and faced about, look­ ing the cabby trustfully in the eye. “I leave It to you," he replied, politely. "Just as you please.” The driver gasped. * “You see," Maitland continued with a courteous smile, "I have two engage­ ments—one at Sherry's, the other with the 10:20 train from Long Island City. What would you. as msn to man, ad- “Well, sir, seeln' as you put It to me straight," returned the cabby with engaging candor, “I’d go home, sir, if I was you. afore I got any worse." •Thank you," gravely. "Long Island City depot, then, cabby." Maitland extended himself languid­ ly upon the cushions. "Surely," he told the night, "the driver knows best —he and Bannerman." The cab started off jogging so se­ dately up Madison avenue that Mait­ land glanced at his watch and elevated his brows dubiously; then with his •tick poked open the trap in the roof. “If you really think it best for me to go home, cabby, you’ll have to drive like hell," he suggested, mildly. A whip-lash cracked loudly over the horse's back, and the hansom, lurch­ ing Into Thirty-fourth street on one wheel, was presently jouncing eastward over rough cobbles, at a regardless pace which roused the gongs of the surface cars to a clangor of hysterical expostulation. In a trice the “L" ex­ tension was roaring overhead; and a little later the ferry gates were yawn­ ing before them. Again Maitland con| suited his watch, commenting briefly: Tn time." Yet he reckoned without the ferry, one of whose employes deliberately and Implacably swung to the gates in the very face of the astonished cab horse, which promptly rose upon its hind legs and pawed the air with ges­ tures of pardonable exasperation. To no avail, however; the gates remained closed, the cabby (with language) reined his steed back a yard or two, and Maitland, lighting a cigarette, composed himself to simulate patience. Followed a wait ot ten minutes or ao. in which a number of vehicles lotned company with the cab; the pas­ senger was vaguely aware of the jar­ ring purr of a motor car, like that of some huge cat, In the immediate rear. A circumstance which he had occasion to recall ere long. In the course of time the gates were again opened. The bridge cleared of Incoming traffic. As the cabby drove aboard the boat, with nice considera­ tion selecting the choicest stand of ail, well out upon the forward deck, a motor car slid in. humming, on the right of the hansom. Maltlahd sat forward, resting his forearms on the apron, and jerked his cigarette out over the gates; the glow­ ing stub described a fiery arc and took the water with a hiss. Wann whiffs of the river’s sweet and salty breath tanned his face gratefully, and he be­ came aware that there was a moon. His gaze roving at will, he nodded an Bvon-tempered approbation of the night's splendor—in the city a thing unsuspected. Never, he thought, had he known moonlight so pure, so silvery and strong. Shadows of gates and posts lay upon the forward deck like ateneilz of lampblack upon white marble. Be­ yond the boat’s bluntly rounded nose Keep It on Hand! LD« East river stretched Its restless, ilark reaches, glossy black, woven with gorgeous ribbons of reflected light itreaming from pier head lamps on the further shore. Overhead, the sky. a pallid and luminous blue around the low-swung moon, was shaded to pro­ found depths of bluish-black toward the horizon. Above Brooklyn rested a' tenuous haze. A revenue cutter, a illm, pale shape, cut across the bows tike a hunted ghost. Farther out a homeward-bound excursion steamer, tier upon tier of glittering lights, drifted slowly toward Its pier beneath the new bridge, the blare of its band, swelling and dying upon the night breeze, mercifully tempered by dis­ tance. Presently Maitland's attention was distracted and drawn, by the abrupt cessation of its motor’s pulsing, to the automobile on his .right. He lifted his chin sharply, narrowing bls eyes, whistled low; and thereafter had eyes -Tbs Loss of • Cool Malf.Mllllon, for nothing else. While lt*s a Drop in the Bucket to You, Would Cripple Him." The car, he saw with the expert- His brain benumbed beyond further capacity for astonishment, he accepted without demur this latest and most as­ tounding of the chain of amazing co­ incidences which had thus far enliv­ ened the night's earlier hour*; and stood rapt in Bilent contemplation, sensible that the girl had been un­ aware . of his approach, deadened as his footsteps must have been by the blanket of dust that carpeted both road and bridge deep and thick. On her part she sat motionless, evi­ dently lout In reverie, and momen­ tarily, at least, unconscious of the em­ barrassing predicament which was hers. So complete, indeed, seemed her abstraction that Maitland caught him­ self questioning the reality of her. . . . And well might she have seemed to him . a pale little wraith of the night, the shimmer of gray that she made against the shimmer of light on the water—a shape almost trans­ parent, slight, and unsubstantial— seeming to contemplate, and as still ■need eye of a connoisseur, was a re­ cent model of one of th® most ex­ pensive and popular foreign makes; built on lines that promised a deal in the way of speed, and furnished with engines that were pregnant with multi­ plied horse power. AU In all not the style of car one would expect to find controlled by a solitary woman, es­ pecially after ten of a summer's night Nevertheless the lone occupant of this car was a woman. And there was that in her bearing, an indefinable something—whether it lay In the car­ riage of her head, which impressed one as both spirited and independent, or In an equally certain but less tan­ gible air ot self-confidenoe and reHance—to set Mad Maitland’s pulses drumming with excitement For, un­ less Indeed he labored gravely under a misapprehension, he was observing her for the second time within the past few hours. Could he be mistaken, or was this in truth the same woman who had (as he believed) made herself free of his rooms that evening? In confirmation of such suspicion he remarked her costume, which was al­ together worked out in soft shades of gray. Gray was the misty veil. Jrawn In and daintily knotted beneath her chin, which lent her head and face such thorough protection against pry­ ing glances; of gray suede were the light gauntlets that hid all save the slenderness of her small hands; and the wrap that, cut upon full and flow­ ing lines, cloaked her figure beyond suggestion, was gray. Yet even its ample drapery could not dissemble the fact that she was quite small, girlishly slight, like the woman in the doorway; nor did. aught temper her impersonal and detached composure, which had also been an attribute of the woman Im the doorway. And again she was alone, ''unchaperoned, unpro­ tected. _ Yes? Or no? And. if yes, what to do? , Was he to alight and accost her. accuse h«r of forcing an entrance to his rooms for the sole purpose (as far as ascertainable) of presenting him with the outline- of her hand in the dust of his desk’s top? . . . Oh. hardly! It was all very well to be daringly eccentric and careless of the world’s censure; but one scarcely cared to lay one's self open either to an unknown girl's derision or to a sound pummeling at the hands of fel­ low passengers enraged by the insult offered to an unescorted woman. The young man was still pondering ways and means when a dull bump ap­ prised him that the ferry boat was en­ tering the Long Island City slip. “The devil!” he exclaimed in mingled dis­ gust and dismay, realizing that his distraction had been so thorough as to permit the voyage to take place almost without his realizing It So that now Looking more attentively, it became evident that her veil was now raised. This was the first time that he had seen her so. But her . countenance re­ mained so deeply shadowed by the visor of a mannish motoring cap that the most searching scrutiny gained no more than a dim and scantily satisfac­ tory impression of alluring loveliness. any one of the hundred fantastic steps he had contemplated half seriously. In another two minutes his charming mystery, so bewltchingly incarnated, would have slipped out of bls life, fi­ nally and beyond recall. And he could do naught to hinder such a finale to the adventure. Sulkily he resigned himself to the Inevitable, waiting and watching, while the boat slid and blundered clumsily, paddle wheels churning the filthy waters over side, to the floating bridge; while the winches rattled, and the woman, sitting up briskly in the ■driver’s seat of the motor car, bent forward and advanced the spark; while the chain fell clanking and the car shot out, over the bridge, through the gates, and away, at a very consider­ able. even if lawful, rate of speed. Whereupon, writing finis to the final chapter of Romance, voting the world a dull place and life a treadmill, an­ athematizing in no uncertain terms ids lack of resource and address. Maitland paid off bls cabby, alighted, and to that worthy's boundless wonder, walked into the waiting room of the railway terminus without deviating a hair’s breadth from the straight and circumscribed path of the sober In mind and body. two minutes. The next and last train for Greenfiekla was to leave at 10:59 meandered off, jingling his copper for­ tune In one hand, lugging his news­ papers In the other, and made a de­ termined onslaught upon a slot ma­ chine. The latter having reluctantly disgorged 14 assorted samples ot chewing gum and stale sweetmeats, Maitland returned to the washerwom­ an, and sowed dissension tn her brood by presenting the treasure horde to the eldest girl with instructions to share it with her brothers and sisters. It is difficult to imagine what folly might next have been recorded against him had not. at that moment, a fe­ rocious and inarticulate howl from the train starter announced the fact that the 10:59 was in waiting. Boarding the train in a thankful spirit, Maitland settled himself as com­ fortably as he might in the smoker and endeavored to find surcease of ennui In his collection of extras. In vain; even a two-column portrait of Mr. Dan Anisty, cracksman, accom­ panied by a vivacious catalogue of that notoriety’s achievements in the field of polite burglary, hardly stirred his in­ terest. An elusive resemblance which he traced in the features of Mr. Anisty, as presented by the sketch-artist-onthe-spoL to some one whom he. Mait­ land. haa known in the dark back­ wards and abysm ot time, merely drew from him the comment: “Homely brute!" And he laid the papers aside, cradling his chin in the palm of one hand and staring for a weary while out of the car window at a reeling and moonsmltten landscape. He yawned exhaustively, his thoughts astray be­ tween a girl garbed all in‘’gray, Ban­ nerman’s earnest and thoughtful face, ana the pernicious activities of Mr. Daniel Anisty, at whose door Maitland laid the responsibility for this most fatiguing errand. The brakeman's wolf-like yelp— “Greenfields!”—wa^, ringing in his ears when he awoke and stumbled down aisle and car steps just in the nick of time. The train, whisking round a curve cloaked by a belt of somber pines, left him quite alone tn the world, cut ruthlessly upon his own resources. An hour had elapsed; It wu now midnight; the moon rode high, a cold white disk against a background of sapphire velvet, its pellucid rays re­ vealing with disheartening distinct­ ness the Inanimate and lightless road­ side hamlet called Greenfields; its gen­ era] store and postoffice, its sol-dlsant hotel, its straggling line of dilapidated habitations, all wrapped in silence pro­ found and Impenetrable. Not even a dog howled; not a belated villager was In sight; and it wu a moral certainty that the local 1'very service had closed down for the night ' Nevertheless, Maitland, with a desperation bred of the prospective five-mlle tramp, spent some ten val­ uable minutes hammering upon the door of the house infested by the pro­ prietor of the livery stable. He suc­ ceeded only in waking the dog. and Inasmuch aa he was not on friendly terms with that animal, presently withdrew at discretion and set his face northwards upon the open road. It stretched before him invitingly enough, a ribbon winding silver-white between dark patches of pine and scrub-oak or fields lush with rustling corn and wheat. And, having over­ come his primary disgust, u the blood began to circulate more briskly in his veins, Maitland became aware-that he was actually enjoying the enforced ex­ ercise. It could have been hardly otherwise, with a night so sweet, with airs so bland and fragrant of the woods and fresh-turned earth, with so clear a light to show him his way. He stepped out briskly at first swinging his stick and watching his shadow, a squat, incredibly agitated silhouette in the golden dust But gradually and Insensibly the peaceful influence of that*stlll and lovely hour tempered his heart's Impatience; and be fouud himself walking at a pace more leisurely. After all. there wu no hurry; he wu unwearied, and Mait­ land Manor lay less than five miles distant Thirty minutes passed; he bad not covered a third of the way, yet re­ mained content Rv »all-remcTnhar«1 Baking Powder proves its superiority} its ■; its never-failing ability wonderful raising power; to produce the most delicious baking—aad fa economy.

When good men differ iu opinion what is the better way in order to reach an understanding? When a professed Christian gets angry with another Christian, on a mere matter of opinion, has he or not backslidden from the love of God, and what spirit does It show? (This ques­ tion must be answered In writing by members of the club.) Circumcision no doubt originated from supposed purposes of health, and physical cleanliness, and after­ wards became a national institution of the Jews. State when God first made circumcision the sign, or token, of the covenant between him and Ab­ raham and his seed, and to whom the rite of circumcision and God's coven­ ant extended. (See Gen. xvti.) Is circumcision now essentia! to sal­ vation? Is the belief of any doctrine essen­ tial to salvation? Verses 6-11—Is experience of God and his dealings with us. conclusive proof of the will of God in the mat­ ters which the experience covers? Is thorough discussion in church courts a perfectly right way to'arrive at the will of God on any matter? Were those who taught that circum­ cision was essential to salvation, as well as being narrow, necessarily un­ true men? What is the difference between the "yoke" of the law and the “yoke" of Jesus? (v. 10.) Verse 12—Recall' some of the won­ ders done through J»aul and Barnabas, among the Gentiles, and say what bearing they had upon the dispute concerning circumcision? Verses 13-2!—Who was James, who next addressed the council? James, the brother of Jesus, was the president of this council; is it prob able that his address was of the na ture of the tudgment of the council or this question? Verses 22-29—There seems to have been no formal motion passed by the council, but they appear to have reached an unanimous decision as outlined in the address of the presi­ dent; say whether we are bound to take this decision as the voice ot God. In what particulars is the great wisdom of the council shown in-set tling this dispute? Were each of the commandments given in verse 29 intended to be ot lasting obligation, or were some ot them only temporary? From whom are Christians to get guidance on all matters in this day? Verses 30-35—There never will be a time when disputes may not occur, in the church and between individuals; bow should they always be settled? Did this trouble in the church help It or hurt IL and does God always overrule trouble, whoever may be the cause of IL for the good of his chil­ dren? Lesson for Sunday, May 30th. 1909.

Michigan State Prison, ) Jackson, April 28, 1W». | Dear Sir: We men in this prison have reached the conclusion, which many of us should have reached long ago, that we must work out our own salvation, and with that end in view, we have formed a company which we call “The League for Self-Improvement.” the object being just what the name indicates. Surely-, there is some way by which we, who have made mistakes and failures, who have fallen out of the fight, can win our way back; and that way we are trying to find. There is something better for the State than the loss of time and money which prison life entails; something better for us than the ruin and degradation of the environment amidst which we live. Slowly, persistently, surely, we are groping our way to a better tinder­ standing of the part we must play In the battle of life—the part in which you may help us. We have not solved the problem, but we are trying to find some way out of the present conditions, some way which shall not only be better for us, but better for those dependent up­ on us, better for the State at large, better above all, for those about us who have made mistakes as we have, and for those who will make mistakes in the years to come. In our endeavors we will need your good work someday. Will you wish us “God speed.” in our efforts? ■ Very respectfully, The League for Self-Improvement. The above letter was recieved by The News last week. It is self-ex­ planatory, and will be read with in­ terest by every thinking person. It goes to show that many of the men who are-incarcerated at Jackson are men who prefer to be good citizens. They realize that the right way is the better way, and that the wrong way is the foolish way. Many of them are there by reason of one false step. Many-of them through the fault of others more.than of themselves. When they have paid the penally, they should be given a white man’s show to make good. They should receive the friendship and assistance of good citizens and be given a chance to show that they have the right stuff in them. Certainly every good citizen will join with The News in wishing these unfortunate fellows “God speed” in their efforts for self-im'provement.

From Pomeroy we went to The Dalles, Ore.. :<’e called that a rocky old town, nothing doing and very little good land around it. From there we »ent to Portland, and I want to tell you that the scenery down the Columbia river is grand. We passed through eleven tunnels on our way down.

Washington, May 18.—Razors were again used In a hostile attack upon the rates of the Aldrich bill pending before the senate. The committee on finance had increased the rates on razors In common use from about 55 to 100 per cent, ad valorem, and as soon as the senate took up the cutlery schedule amendments offered by Sen­ ator Simmons Saturday cutting these rates down, were rejected. Senator Stone then offered emendmenta reducing the duties on razors to the rates of the Dingley bilL Senator Smoot, in opposing these amendments said if the duty were 200 per cent it would not increase the price to the consumer. He held up before the sen­ ate a razor which he said cost to im­ port 49 cents and which was sold for three dollars. Tells of Great Profit. “Have those razors which you have there been sold for three dollars each?” inquired Senator Stone. “There is no question that the dealer will sell them for that price," replied Senator Smoot "Not after the senator’s statement here," said Senator Bailey, laughing. "I hope that Is correct,” replied Sen­ ator Smoot, “because the profit they obtain. Is enormous.” Senator Smoot exhibited another razor case, supposed to contain a keen-edged blade. It was from Ger­ many and sold at retail in this coun­ try at $2.50 while it cost to Import W .79 a dozen. Senator Aldrich said the most strik­ ing thing to him about the razor In­ dustry was that a large part of the razors Imported cost to import whole­ sale ten cents each or $1.20 a dozen. ' Just before the senate adjourned. Senator Smoot, in response to a ques­ tion by Senator Stone, moved over to , the Democratic side of the chamber at tbe same time taking a razor from his pocket and deliberately opening IL He walked up to Senator Stone and then ‘whirled the razor In his hand as he explained how the name ot the foreign manufacturer was oblit­ erated from the blade. Stone Is “Intimidated." Senator Carter suggested that the senator from Missouri had been in­ timidated by the razor in the hands of the senator from Utah and the senator from Utah returning to his seat care­ fully replaced his razor in its case. During an extended discussion ■ of the cutlery Industry by Senator La Follette the senate went Into execu­ tive session. A comprehensive discussion of the income tax by Senator Sutherland of Utah and an extended speech by Sen­ ator Depew in support of the pending tariff bill consumed most of the ses। slon of the senate. Senator Suther5 land argued against the constitution­ ality of a federal income tax law and declared that such a tax should be left as a means of revenue for the states. Senator Owen to-day announced his Intention of voting for a tariff on crude petroleum unless “advised to the contrary In an authoritative way.” The statement was made In response to "hundreds of telegrams from oil producers in Oklahoma." Cannon Stops Hollingsworth. A rulipg by Speaker Cannon pre­ vented, perhaps the reopening In the houes of old wounds of the civil war. Mr. Hollingsworth ot Ohio sought to justify as o matter of privilege, his recent resolution objecting to the placing of the ;x>rtralt of Jefferson Davis on the silver service to be pre­ sented to the battleship Mississippi because of editorials in certain south­ ern newspapers hurling all sorts of epithets at him. Tbe editorials were read. The speaker declared that as the editorials did not attack Mr. Hollings­ worth In his representative capacity he could not continue.

WILL HAVE BASE BALL TEAM. Enthusiastic Meeting of Fans at Nashville Club Rooms Friday Night. . “Play Ball!’’ That's the cry you will hear from his Highness, the Umps, at Riverside park in the near future. That much was settled Fri­ day night, when a meeting of the enthusiasts was held in the billiard room of the Nashville Club. Re­ ports of the secretary and treasurer for last year were read and approved, officers were elected for the ensuing year, a soliciting committee was appointed, and a subscription list started. The officers elected are as follows: President—Len W. Feighner. Vice President—Noah Wenger. Secretary—O. G. Munroe. Treasurer—Von W. Furniss. Directors—R. C. Townsend, E. V. Barker, Dr. W. A .Vance. Manager—Henry C. Glasner. Soliciting Committee—E. V. Bar­ ker, C. A. Hough. Dr. F. F. Shilling. An effort will be made to secure a strong team for Monday, May 31. which will be a legal holiday, and -it is hoped to open’ the season with a team representing Nashville which will be able to hold its own with any amateur team in the vicinity. The team will be composed principally of home players, although It is probable that some battery help will be secured from outside. The team will be equipped with new uniforms as soon as they can be pro­ cured. The grounds are in excellent shape considering the amount of rain we have had, and utsless there are floods in the mean time they will l>e in the pink of condition for the open­ ing game. It will be nece*sary to raise quite, an amount of money to pay for the new uniforms and some necessary paraphernalia and to start the season in good shape, but it is believed that the fans will contribute liberally and that the attendance this year will be better than it was last year, when there was a decided falling off from the year before. It takes patronage to maintain a winning team, and Nashville will not be satisfied with anything less. Not that we ex­ pect a team to win all of its games, hut we want a bunch that will play ball every minute and make every effort to win, no matter how tough a bunch they are up against, and this is what we expect to have. Let us all pull together for the team, and root for all that is in us.

William Arthur Offley was born at Creston, Ohio. February 24, 1877. and died May 13, 1909. He moved with his parents "to Castleton Center, Michi­ gan, and they located on the farm where they now reside. He was mar­ ried December 25, 1898. to Miss Lois I no Gutchess, who. with one son, Earl, aged nine, and one daughter; Hazel, aged seven, survives him. The funeral services were held Sunday morning at the Castleton Evangelical church, preceded by brief services at the home. Rev. C C. Gibson officia­ ting, and the remains were laid to rest in Lakeview cemetery. Mr. Ofllev was converted to Christianity at the Evan­ gelical church under Rev. Henry I. Voelker, and was at the time of his death a steward in the church and one of its valued and most earnest work­ ers. He leaves, besides wife and children, a father, mother and two sisters, Mrs. D. H. Brown of Nash­ ville and" Mrs. Mabel McDowell of Castleton Center, one sister, Mrs. Vinnie Greenfield, having preceded him. Mr. Offley was taken ill about two weeks ago, but suffered for several days in patient fortitude before saying much about it. On Monday, May 10, the pain became so severe that he de­ cided to go and consult his physician, Dr. McEcheran of Vermontville. When within about a mile of Ver­ montville he became much worse and fainted away. As soon as the physi­ cian saw him he sent him to the home of Albert Evarts, north of Vermont­ ville, a nurse was summoned, and on Wednesday afternoon an operation for appendicitis was performed, but it was too late, the suffererpassing away Thursday evening at ten o’clock. The deceased was a hard-working young man, highly respected by all who knew him, and will be sadly missed not only by his Immediate fam­ ily. but by the entire community in which he lived. Canned Goods 'T'HIS is the season of the year when canned goods make up a part of the menu of every up-todate housewife, which cannot be replaced by any­ thing else. Of course there is a great difference in the qualities of the innumerable brands of canned goods obtainable today. Each brand that we handle is the result of twenty years experience in the grocery business spent in learning what packers are the most reliable and where the best values can be secured, thus enabling us to offer to the people the best brands obtainable at the lowest possible prices.

Mason, Mich , May 22.—It took the jury only fifteen minutes this afternoon to find James Duggan guilty of assault with intent to kill, and twenty minutes later Judge Wiest had sentenced him to hard labor for life at Marquette prison. Immediately after Foreman N. N. Rouse had announced the ver­ dict of the jury the prisoner was brought before tne bar for sentence. In response to the judge's questions Duggan stated that he was 23 years old, and had served, previous to this, eleven months in the state industrial school for stealing money from his father; sixty days at the Detroit house of correction for burglary, and sixty days in jail for getting drunk and fighting. ’His parents are living in California, and he has five brothers and a sister living. His confession of the attack on State Representative Schantz was the first thing in the case directly connecting him with it, as all the evidence has been purely circum­ stantial. He said that although he was in his right mind at the time he did not realize what he had done until about two minutes after it had hap­ pened, and he was unable to. give any cause or motive for the deed. He ap­ peared extremely nervous, and after receiving his sentence begged hard to l>e allowed to go to Jackson instead of Marquette. Attorney A. A. Bergman, who was appointed by the court to defend Dug­ gan, put up a good fight for his client, but it was against hopeless odds. When the officers were taking Duggan back to jail he said, “Well he gave me the limit; I wish I had killed him. I wouldn't have got any more.” Sher­ iff H. O. Cline and a deputy will take the prisoner to Marquette Monday. TELL HIM ••NAY. NAY.” Say, when some clever stranger comes along and sells you a suit of clothes for much less than they are worth—in fact, ail you have to pay for is the cloth and the linings, etc.— who pays the 13 per <day livery bills, the 82 per day hotel bills, the 825 per week salary of the salesmen,' the ex­ pense and salary of the cutters and tailors, the running expenses of the firm, etc.? Think it over. There are very few philanthropists in this country who travel around at their own cxpense giving away Clothes, and other commodities. It is like the picture man who comes along and enlarges a piclure free if you ouy the frame. As a usual thing when you get something for nothing you get it from your home dealer if from anybody. It is a cer­ tainty that he thinks more of your trade and will do more to get it and hold it than any stranger will do. Before you enter into a contract with a stranger, it is wise to look over both sides of the proposition pretty care­ fully, take a few days to think over, and then say “no” and say it right out loud.

MENT PROVIDING FOR i CLARES SPEAKER IN THE FREE IMPORT. PRESBYTERIAN ASSEMBLY. Omaha. Neb., May 24.—Although the WHY PASTORS ARE SCARCE No Grace Said Over Champagne and ' Running of Steam Yachts Not Training for Ministry Says Dr. Cochran at Denver. - Denver, CoL, May 25.—“Grace Is not usually said over champagne and lob­ ster a la Newburg.’’ “Family, altars are not raised over Persian rugs.” “Students for the ministry do not as a rule get their early training by run­ ning steam yachts.”'These remarks by Dr. Joseph W. Cochran, secretary of the Presbyterian board of education, caused great In­ terest in the Presbyterian general as­ sembly yesterday. Deplores Lack of Recruits. - Dr. Cochran, who is from Philadel­ phia, spoke on the report of the board of education which deplored tbe lack of recruits for the ministry. The re­ port was read by Dr. Edgar P. Hill of Chicago, who stirred the assembly by his description of the ignorance among immigrants, due, he said, to the fact that no Protestant denomination, and surely not the Presbyterian, has taken the trouble to stir -ip a sufficient num­ ber of ministerial recruits to work among the people. “Why can’t we get the young men to preach?” asked Dr. Cochran, “f’11 tell you. In the first place, there Is but little Christianity In the home. If there is any it is gone by the time the young man Is ready for an educa­ tion. “Godless State University.” “Does he go for his education to a Christian school? a Presbyterian school? No. He goes to a Godless state university, and when he returns to his home town he puts religion at low ebb. And if you ministers find your churches at low ebb, know where to place the blame. "The need in this board of educa­ tion Is not for more money, but for men. Now we cannot Christianize these state universities, but we can put a shepherd in charge and in this way keep these boys tn the flock, al­ though they are being educated In Godless schools." Hot Debate on Agencies. The report of the special committee on administrative agencies brought on a hot debate. The report as read by Dr. J. D. Moffatt of Pittsburg, presi­ dent of Washington and Jefferson col­ lege, recommended that the various boards ot the church seek legal advice to ascertain the possibilities of enlarg­ ing the administrative powers with a view toward consolidation with other boards. Lack of funds was told of by the American Tract society and the Board of Freedmen in their annual reports. Dr. Judson Swift of New York, secre­ tary of the tract socieyr, said the so­ ciety could do five tlnrtfe as much work with twice as much money as it re­ ceived now. “Even the Board of Foreign Mis­ sions has come to us,” he said. “The board wants us to print an arithmetic for the people of Uganda. I suppose the people of Uganda want to compute the number of lions, tigers and giraffes slain by our beloved former presldent" police department of thia city and tbe sheriff have had large forces of men scouring the country in the vicinity of the scene of Saturday night's hold­ up on the Union Pacific railroad three miles west of tbe city, little progress has been made toward arresting the robbers. Two empty midi pouches taken from the train were found some dis­ tance from the point where the rob­ bery occurred. ' They had been cut open and their contents removed, the outlaws overlooked only one pack­ age. One report says the robbers got 9200,000. That, the robbers had laid their plans well is apparent They dropped from sight so quickly that not a sin­ gle person has been able to give a clew to the direction in which they went. The empty mail pouches were found near Forty-third and Jackson streets, which leads the police to be­ lieve that tbe robbers came to tbe city after holding up tbe train. All four of the men wore long rain coats and their features were entirely masked, giving no .opportunity for members of the train crew to identify them. Every town,in the country has been notified and sheriffs of sui rounding counties have been keeping a lookout for strangers. The post office depart­ ment has also taken steps to aid tn the search. What, means of escape the robbers selected Is indefinite, but the authori­ ties believe they bad either an auto­ mobile or a fast horse. The automobile theory is strength­ ened by the discovery of a greasy glove which the robbers bad propped at the point where the two empty mail pouches . were found. The police be­ lieve it belonged to an automobile chauffeur, and the automablle record of this -city and South Omaha is be­ ing investigated. BURGLAR SHOOTS A MAYOR. Cedar Rapids, la..

HEYBURN DRAWS CRITICISM His Attack on the Republican Plat­ form Not Relished by His Party Colleagues—Philippine Tariff Bill Passed by the House. Washington, May 25.—No single piece of lumber was ever used more effectually as a seesaw by children than was the great lumber industry by the United States senate yesterday. Senators Root. Heyburn, Borah and Dolliver conjended on the one hand for a protection for the industry, and Senators Clapp, Burkett and McCumber argued as strenuously against that policy. The day closed with more than a two-thirds vote against Senator McCumber's free lumber amendment, the ballot showing 25 for and 56 against. Dolliver's Attitude a Surprise. . The great surprise was the attitude of Senator Dolliver, who heretofore has stood with the “progressives” throughout the present tariff fight. He took positive position against tbe radical demand for free lumber, but expressed the opinion that the indus­ try would not suffer from a reduction of the Dingley rates. Senator Root opened the proceed­ ings with a close argument in favor of a differential on dressed lumber. Sen­ ators Borah and Heyburn of Idaho contended for the. highest duty on lum­ ber, and Senator Borah entered u^on an argument to show that the policy of protection is “a system" and can­ not be maintained if there are to be constant exceptions to it as is desired in the interest of tree lumber. Ou the other hand, Senators Clapp and Burkett argued that lumber can be produced as cheaply In Canada as In the United States, and contended that the lumber Industry of this coun­ try would not be endangered by the free, admission of the Canadian prod­ uct. Incidentally Senator Clapp paid a glowing tribute to the Canadian gov­ ernment, saying it was equal to the best Heyburn Raps Party Platform. Senator Heyburn spoke of the Re­ publican platform of the last cam­ paign In a way that brought down some criticism on his head, and Sena­ tor B&iley declared that he did not propose to be bound by the platform adopted by the Democrats at Denver. Senator Bailey made a speech of some length towards the close of the ses­ sion. In which he expressed the opin­ ion that enactment of the pending tar­ iff bill would see the disintegration of the Republican party. Senator Owen made a sharp attack upon the present tariff on sugar, say­ ing it led to frauds by a “trust.” Sen­ ator Aldrich introduced a resolution providing for an Investigation of tbe expenditures of the various legisla­ tive departments. • Putting bis foot squarely down on free lumber as not compatible with the principles of protection, Senator Dolliver declared he believed the lum­ ber industry could readily stand a re­ duction from the Dingley rates. House Pisses Philippine Bill. Tbe Republicans of the house again took matters in their own hands, and with a sudden show of strength passed the Philippine tariff bill, the consideration of which bad been con­ cluded two weeks ago, .referred the message of the president regarding Porto Rican affairs to the committee on ways and means and devoted some time to a discussion of the bill amending the laws of Porto Rico so as to divest the legislature of certain au­ thority. ' Mr. Larrlnga. the Porto Rican com­ missioner, vigorously opposed the bill affecting the island represented by him and denounced the executive council or upper branch of the legis­ lature of Porto Rico.

Results are what have made the name of the Van Bysterveld Med­ icine Co., Ltd., famous^ In tbe first SI ace scientific methods are used to iscover the cause of the trouble. They depend solely upon-the condition of the human urine. A W. Van Bysterveld, the chemist with this company, has examined thousands of samples in this country and Europe, and there are vast num­ bers of neople who testify to results obtained from thia careful method of diagnosing. The physicians, after getting a correct diagnosis, are ableto get to the dause of the ailment and the quick and lasting results that patients get are what fills their reception rooms with people awaiting their turn for a diagnosis and medicines that exper­ ienced physicians are giving to the suffering who go away and return with their friends. This accounts for the enormous business being done. It is not gained by printed testimonials but by recommendations of people who have tried it, and obtained results that are not only quick but lasting. If you are skeptical try it—you will be among the thousands who rejoice and are made strong and happy. The expense is within the reach of everyone. Only 21.00 at the office or 21.25 by mail for a careful diagnosis and medicine enough to last one week. Call at their office at the residence of Mrs. Scothorn, Nashville, Mich., any Friday from 8 to 11 a. m., or write the home office of the Van Bysterveld Medicine Co., Ltd. at 17-19-21 Sheldon St., Grand Rapids, Mich., and secure a mailing case for sending urine which will be sent free of charge. fottYSKlDNEYCUI® folehhoney^tar FOlEnWMEr-rflAR �of Traverse City and Mrs. Orlin being one of tbe parent*.

About a month ago Deputy Game Warden Selden arrested two men for hunting ducks on Thornapple lake with a motor boat. They gave their names as Frank Hartman and Chas. Boyd. Now it transpires that these names were fictitious and that the offenders' right names are Fred Kartell and Emerson Boyles. The former is a meat market man and the latter is an attorney. Boyles paid a fine of $18.60 and Kartell $13.70 for their illegal sport. Both were from Charlotte. Investigations by Sheriff Ritchie and other officers have revealed some conditions at Hastings which have greatly roused the indignation.of par­ ents and supporters of the local option cause. As a result a 15-vear old boy has ueen arrested for violat­ ing the local option law by giving whiskey to other young boys, and Claude Wiseman aged 25. who is accused of giving whiskey to boys, has also been arrested Citizens have been greatly shocked over the de­ velopments unearthed by the officers Four lads al>out 14 or 15 years old were found in a bad slate of intoxica­ tion. and their story implicated Wise­ man and the boy arrested.

The play is “A Texas Ranger,' a western military drama using all the scenic and electrical ef­ fects, but is not of the cheap and noisy western kind. A beautiful story, along the lines of “The Virginian’’’ "The Round Up” and “The Great Divide.” It is a play that will please all classes. The cast numbers fifteen people, and the costuming is a feature. The plot is laid along the Rio Gratjde river in the early eighties, and intro­ duces all the noted characters of those strenuous times. There is but one shot fired, still the play abounds in startling situations and thrilling cli­ maxes. You will be more than pleased with the-play.

WHITE’S “WHITE HOUSE.” Brilliancy of Aladdin’s Cave Pales Into Murkiness When Stacked up Against Cigar Store. Uncle “Bill” Taft isn’t ^he only celebrity who occupies a White House. For instance, there’s our genial and well-groomed friend, Harry White, whose "White House" cigar store on Main-street bids fair to become one of the most popular “smoke houses” in the city—and in short order at that. Since Br'er White took possession of the old Whitney Kools stand he has transformed the place from an ordi­ nary tobacco dispensary to a place of beautv, with the glad hand slicking out ail around. ’ The interior of the store has been enameled in white—fiixtures, walls, picture frames, etc.—with trimmings of gold, the whole resolving itself into a blaze of glory that, with the electric lights on, looks like the reception room in Aladdin's cave. There’s only one thing that's more scintiilant than White's ‘‘White House.” and that's the sun on a cloud­ less day. And at that Old.Sol loses out to the jovial Harrv, for there are no cigars on the sun that anybody knows of. Every day’s reception day at the “White House.”— Kalamazoo Gazette. BASE BALL. The newly organized Nashville team will open the season on the home grounds next Monday afternoon, hav­ ing as opponents the strong Cargill team of Grand Rapids. The bills an­ nounce the game to start at 2:30, but this hour has been changed to 3:30 on account ol the decoration day services at the opera house in the afternoon. The game will be started promptly at 3:30. however, and will probably be completed by five o'clock or a’ few minutes after five. The Schofield brothers, Frank and Charley, will probablv do the battery work for Nashville, and it is thought that they will sign for the entire season. Let everybody turn out and give the boys a good crowd for tbe opening game. The high school team put up a pret­ ty game of ball at Riverside park Sat­ urday afternoon, when they landed the strong Olivet high school’team by a 4 to 1 score. The Olivet boys had a’ bad day. but the game was much more in­ teresting than the score would indi­ cate. The home team did the best work with the stick, as well as on the bases, and their hits came at oppor­ tune limes, while nearly all the hard luck of the day was coming to Olivet, who had men at third several times but could not secure the necessary hits to put them across, their single'score being on a wild throw over third.

Glasgow aad Judge Clement Smith Make Eloquent Addresses. Another year has passed and again has oceiirred the observation of Me­ morial day in honor of the nation's dead and living who participated in the bloody struggle of the Civil war. With the passing of each year, the day seems to grow more and more sacred to us as the sight of the ranks broken and scarred by the ravages of battle impresses upon us what these grand old men have borne to preserve a union of which we are more than proud, and we believe that the demon­ stration of patriotism was more no­ ticeable in the village this year than at any time past. Some faces famil­ iar at such services in years past were missing. Death has claimed a few; others were prevented from attend­ ance by disease and age, while per­ haps some of those present should not have been there, but the same brave spirit which kept them up when they were*fighting for the flag they loved so well, reasserted itself, over­ coming physical weakness. At about half past nine the parade formed in front of the G._ A. ,K. hall and marched to the Methodist church, headed by the martial band, where they were* joined by-the G. A. R. boys, the fire department, members of Nash­ ville lodge, I. O. O. F. and school children, then marched south on Slate to Sherman street,, west to Main and north to the park, which made a lieautifui place for the morning ex­ ercises. As soon as the long column had reached the spot designated for holding the services, the program was opened with the sung, ‘‘The Battle Crv of Freedom", followed by a prayer by Rev. W. S. Reed. The post services were then held, the name of each state being called and floral tributes given in memory of their boys who fought and fell that a nation might live. The high school sang another song and the morning address was given by Hon. C. L. Glasgow and was so good we give it verbatim. “Members of the G. A. R.,W. R. C., pupils of the public schools and patriotic citizens generally. Through­ out the length and breadth of this land todav the patriotic citizens of every citv, village and hamlet are paying tribute to the memory of those brave boys dead and doing honor to those living, to both of whom we are under everlasting obligation for the benefits of the glorious government we now en­ joy. It has been said that no pain is more lasting or severe than the sting of ingratitude, and therefore I am pleased to invite you to participate in the opening of these memorial exer­ cises where an entire community have assembled to express their gratitude to the boys in blue for the priceless gift we enjoy as the result of their valiant service rendered and I may rightfully assume that we meet here for a-common purpose, to do honor to the boys who fought for a common cause. ’ As we look about us, surrounded by so many evidences of life and pros­ perity, enjoying the results of their contribution to our happiness, and look across the valley to that other eminence made prominent and beauti­ ful through the skill of workers in marble and stone, we are reminded that the life of today so filled with pleasant surroundings and so fruitful with opportunity was largely the gift of those’ who sleep. That we enjoy so beautiful a harvest is due to their wise sowing. So ns I look upon this honorable remnant of a once mighty force in the shaping of national destiny, I remember that the great majority of that host have been laid to rest and that we enjoy the things the procuring of which swept them by the thousands into eternity. That this younger generation par­ ticipates in the ceremonies of today, suggests a new order of things for which is a people we should be pro­ foundly grateful, for it evidences an awakened consciousness of the fact that teaching patriotism, love of flag and love of country is the duty of every instructor and is one of the indispenslble factors to the proper education of every American boy and giri. In years past it was the older people who met with the members of the G. A. R. to listen to the reading of the declaration of independence and a recital of the horrors of war which our veteran fathers and friends had experienced, and while we would not minimize those experiences or their value, we are now pleased to have the schools assemble to do honor to the noble soldiers, living and dead. The ranks of the veterans are each Eear thinner and thinner, their numera less and less, their column in the parade shorter and shorter, while the number of young people increase and their column id the parade gets long­ er and longer. Thus as the old drop out, -the young take their place and it is eminently fitting that their minds and hearts be properly impressed with not only their responsibility as good citizens, but their part in sustaining the honor and dignity of their country before the nations of the earth. No person lacking in patriotism makes a good soldier and therefore we wel­ come the young people to this memorial service and trust it may kindle a fire of patriotic enthusiasm that will inspire them to willingly comply with every requirement neces­ sary to maintain with dignity the ftrestige and glory of this their beoved country. For he is a poor American indeed who, reading of the achievements of the hoys in blue, does not feel within himself a deeper rav­ erance. for the nation's past and a higher purpose to make the nation’s future all that human bravery and human sacrifice can make it possible to be. Thus may we best honor those who forged from the chaotic condi­ tions prevailing from '61 to '65 the mighty nation of today and make and keep tiiis country worthy of the men who gave their lives to save it, onlyon condition that each one - of us bravely and loyally and with common sense perform the duties that fall to us whatever be our lot in life and this Is what gives strength and stability to popular government. When we consider the unparalleled progress-made by this country during the last forty years, since the time when the brave boys before us, im­ pelled by the enthusiasm of youth, with bright hopes and worthy ambi­ tions, marched valiantly to the front, and look for the cause of this prosperi­ ty, we find that in the determination of its better cltizens-to stand unalterably t»oth In peace and in war for the things that are right and just, their course has been commended by friend and foe alike throughout the world and while I am not a believer in war which demands the sacrifice of prop­ erty and life simply for financial gain in coin or territory, yet I am proud that our country has a proper conception of what is right and that it possesses and has possessed a citizen­ ship that will insist that right pre­ vails. I believe the history of all peoples force the conclusion that when it becomes necessary for the establish­ ment or continuance of peace and the dominance of right to fight, we should be ready and know how. What, if you please, would have been the position and condition of America today had she failed at the time of the Revolution and submitted to foreign dictation? Or think you. would she occupy her present position politically, financially or morally if the’immortal Lincoln had not decreed that slavery should end, or supposing our valiant youth hud failed to make Lincoln’s word good? When we took the part of Cuba our men fought with the same determination and enthusi­ asm as when fighting at home. In that war we fought not for empire but for justice, and as a result not al­ together of the wars we conducted and won. but the conditions under which we fought them and the things which ceused-us to fight, we have been elevated to an enviable position among nations and laid the founda­ tion for marvelous growth at home. Thus I am forced to nonor the judg­ ment of Josh Billings when he said, ‘I love the rooster for two things. For the crow that is in him and for the spurs that are on him to back up the crow with.' I honor the nation that is truly alive to its duty and responsibility and who knows the right and I honor the men who with faith in and love for that country, will consecrate their clea'r eves, strong arms, alert brain, good aim and fervent prayers that the right must prevail, and to- these few and to the mighty host who have answered the last roll call and who now may be manning the watch towers in the battlements of Heaven, must we bow our acknowledgement for the benefits and glories of a blood bought inheritance. A year ago you east your beautiful tokens of love upon the*bosom of the waters and prayed that their cease­ less flow might silently carry them to the mighty ocean in whose strong arms so many of our soldier boys went to sleep, lor it demands bravery on the sea as well as on the land and many a brave boy's farewell cry to loved ones was lost amid the roar of cannon and rush of wave. No one loves this glorious countrymore than I. or appreciates its im­ measurable blessings more, and every tinted flower that perfumes the valley or dots the hillside speaks to* me of the blood of human sacrifice offered in behalf of freedom and right. Al­ though I have no desire for war with all its hideous trail of horror again to come upon us, yet I believe the best way to prevent Wars is to be fully ready to fight, for this seems to exercise a very restraining influence and causes the other fellow to stop and think first and I am proud to be a citizen of a country where millions of men whose patriotism commands and whose heads direct, stand ready to answer the call of their country's need. We are proud of the achievements of our soldiers old and young, on land and on water, and I believe every live, enthusiastic and patriotic citizen feels h» heart thrill with pride as our/fleet of steel peace makers encircled the globe in the ac­ complishment of that feat never be­ fore attempted by the war vessels of any other nation and which expressed not alone American bravery but American skill, integrity and dignity and by the very act guaranteed the peace of our nation for half a century. Who of you have read of the preparation for and completion of the trip made by those sixteen vessels without entertaining a prouder feeling for oug country and a larger con­ ception of its destiny? When those engines of peace raised anchor and began the formation of their line, the dense smoke from their great fumes banked against the ^-eastern horizon as though to protect them from the eyes of their imaginary enemies as they started upon their journey toward the south and they were sent upon thdir mission with a God speed for success bursting from the hearts of ninety million loyal and patriotic people.” "America" was then rendered by the school children and the benedic­ tion given by Rev. C. C. Gibson. This finished the exercises here and the column marched back to Main street, where it dispersed. The exercises at tbc opera house in the afternoon commenced at about two o’clock and were well attended. The program was opened with the beautiful old song. “The Star Span­ gled Banner" by the octette, followed by the invocation by Rev.; C. C- Gib­ son. The octMW .sang another song and the speaker of the afternoon, Judge Clement Smith of Hastings, was introduced. His speech was a masterly effort and showed that much thought bad been given it. He spoke of the great sacredness of the- day, saytag it seemed more sacred each year. He said he considered it a great responsibility to be called upon to say anything that would do jus­ tice to these men who- sacrificed so much in the hour of peril. He im­ pressed upon lire minds of the people how great was the bravery, self-sacri­ fice and love of flag and told several touching instances of fathers an;! mothers who gave up their brave boys that they might unite in ode of the peatest struggles for right which we have ever known. He mentioned the fact of his being in Oklahoma some time ago, at the time of the Oklahoma state soldiers’ encampment, which was attended by the blue and gray alike, and saw many, touching scenes which exemplified the union of the two. He said that although he thought we should be willing to forgive them, we should not go too far, but be always ready to stand up for the great prin­ ciple of right ana emphasized the fact of the north being eternally right and the south everlastingly wrong. He called our attention to the things which Barry county did during the conflict. He said that 1,000 men were sent from this county alone, and out of that number, 250 never came back. He remarked that in one sense the old soldiers were really the “boys in blue”, as it is wonderful to think of the extreme youth of some of those who joined in the conflict He re­ called the fact that out of the gyeit number from the union who partici­ pated in the strife./®! of them were under ten years of bge and 210 under twelve years of Sige. This alone should convince us what terrible hard­ ships were endured in those awful times, yet we believe the younger gen­ eration never can comprehend the real situation. In conclusion Mr. Smith read a beautiful poem, contrasting the days of 1861-5 to those of 1909. . The octette then gave another selection and the benediction was given by Rev. Alfred Way. LOCAL NEWS.

He paused, thunderstruck, appalled by-this monstrosity of Ingratitude. The machine gathered Impetus, Crawlng swiftly away. Yet in the still­ ness the farewell of the gray girl came to him very clearly. “Good-by!" with a laugh. "Thank gou and good-by—Handsome Dan!" CHAPTER III. “Handsome Dan." Standing in the. middle of the road, watching the dust cloud that trailed the fast disappearing motor car, Mr. Maitland cut a figure sufficiently for­ lorn and disconsolate to have distilled pity from the least sympathetic heart. His hands were thrust stiffly at full arm’s length into his trousers pockets; • rumpled silk hat was set awry on the back of his head, his shirt bosom was sadly crumpled; above the knees, to a casual glance, he presented the appearance of a man carefully attired In evening dress; below, his legs were aeddan and muddied, his shoes of patent leather, twin wrecks. Alas for jauntinesf! and elegance, alack for ease and aplomb! “Tricked," observed Maitland, cas­ ttally, and protruded bis lower lip, Cha* adding to the length of a counten­ ance naturally long. "Outwitted by a •hit "Of a girl! Dammit!" But this was crude melodrama. Realfating which, he strove to smile; a sorty failure. "’Handsome Dan.’” quoted he; and cocking his bead to one slue eyed th* road inquiringly. "Where In thunfer d’you suppose she got hold of that aame?” Bestowed upon him in callow collag* days, it had stuck burr-like for many a weary year. Of late, however, ft* use had lapsed among his acquain­ tances; he had begun to congratulate himself upon having lived it down. And now it wa* resurrected, flung at hisa in sincerest mockery by a woman whom, to hl* knowledge, he had never before laid eyes upon. Odious appella­ tion, hateful invention of an ingenious anemy! “ ’Handsome Dan! ’ She must have me all the time—all the time I Wa* making an exhibition of myself. . . . ’Wentworth?’ I know no one of that name.

In­ deed. hta restraint was admirable, the circumstances considered.

At length he gave ft up in despair and abstractedly felt for hta watch fob. Which wasn’t there. Neither, investi­ gation developed, was the watch. At which crowning stroke of misfortune —the timepiece must have slipped from hl* pocket into the water while he wa* tinkering with that infamous carbureter—Maitland turned eloquent­ ly red in the face. known "The pric*,’’ he meditated aloud. witn an effort to resume me pose, a high one to pay for a wav* of a gray glove and the echo of k pretty laugh.” With which final fling at Fortune he set off again for Maitland Manor, trudging heavily but at a round pace through the dust that soon settled upon the damp cloth of his trouser* legs and completed their ruination. But Maitland was beyond being dis­ turbed by such trifles. A wounded vanity engaged his. solicitude to the exclusion of all other interests. At the end of 45 minutes he had -covered the remaining distance be-, tween Greenfield station and Maitland Manor. For five minutes more he strode wearily over the side path by the box hedge which set aside hl* ances­ tral acres from the public highway. At length, with an exclamation, he paused at the first opening in the living bar­ rier; a wide entrance from which * oiue-stone carriage drlv* wound away to the house, invisible in the waning light, situate in the shelter of the grove of trees that studded the lawn. "Gasoline! Brrr!" said Maitland, shuddering and ahlvering with the combination of a nauseous odor and the nigbt’s coolness—the tatter by now making Itself as unpleasantly promi­ nent as the former. Though he hated the smell with all his heart, manfully Inconsistent he raised his bead, sniffing the air for further evidence; -and got his reward In a sickening gust. “Tank leaked.” he commented with brevity. "Quart of the stuff must have trickled out right here. Ugh! If it goes on at this rate, there’ll.be another breakdown before she gets home.” And, "Serve her right, too!” he growled, vindictive. But for all bis Indignation be ac­ knowledged a sneaking wish that he might be at hand again, in such event, a second time to give gratuitous serv­ ice to bls gray lady. Analyzing this frame of mind (not without surprise and some disdain of him who weakly entertained it) he crossed the drive and struck In over the lawn, shaping bls course direct for the front entrance of the house. By dead reckoning the hour was two, or something later; and a chill । was stealing In upon the land, wafted gently southward from’ Long Island sound. All the world beside himself seemed to slumber, breathless, In­ sensate. Wraith-like, gray shreds of mist drifted between the serried boles of trees, os. rising, veiled the moon’s wan and pallid face, that now was low upon the horizon. In silent rivalry long and velvet-black shadows skulked across the ample breadths of dewdrenched grass. Somewhere a bird stirred on its unseen perch, chirping sleepily; and In the rapt silence the inconsiderable interruption broke with startling stress. In time—not long—th* hous* lifted into view; a squat, ranibllcg block of home-grown architecture with little to recommend It save it* kerti associa­ tions and its comfort. At the edge of the woods the lord and master paused indefinitely, with little purpose, sur­ veying idly the pale, columned facade, ana wondering whether-or not his en­ trance at that ungodly hour would rouse the staff of house servant*. If it did not—he contemplated with mild amusement the prospect of their sur­ prise when, morning come, they should find the owner in occupation. "Bannerman was right," he con­ ceded ; "any—" The syllables died upon hi* lips; his gaze became fixed; his heart thumped wildly for an instant then rested still; and instinctively he held hi* breath, tip-toeing to the edge of the veranda the better to command a view of the library windows. These opened from celling to floor and should by right have presented to bls vision a blank expanse of dark glass. But oddly enough, even while thinking of bls lawyer’s warning, he had fancied. . . . "Ah!" said Maitland, softly. A disk of white light perhaps a foot or 18 inches in diameter, had flitted swiftly across the glass and vanished. “Ah, ah! The devil, the devil!" murmured the young man, uncon­ sciously. The light appeared again, dancing athwart the inner wall of the room, and was lost a* abruptly as before. On impulse Maitland buttoned hta top­ coat across hi* chest, turning up the collar to hide his linen, darted stealthily a yard or two to one side, and with one noiseless bound reached the floor of the veranda. A breath later ho stood by the front door, where, at mering shamefully again. Gathering himself to spring, if need be, he crept back toward th* library windows, and reconnoitering cautiously determined the fact that the bolt* had'just been withdrawn on the Inside of one win­ dow frame, which wa* swinging wide. "It’s a wise crook that provides hta own quick exit," considered Maitland. The sagacious one was nek, appar­ ently,- leaving at that moment .On the contrary, having made all things ready for ’ a hurried flight upon the first alarm, the intruder turned back, a* was clearly indicated by the motion of the light within. The clink of steel touching steel became audible; and Maitland nodded. Bannerman wa* in­ deed justified;, at thatJvery moment the safe was being attacked. At That Very Moment the Safe Wa* Being Attacked. Maitland returned noiselessly to th* door. His mouth bad settled into a hard, unyielding, thin line; and a dan­ gerous light flickered in hta eyes. Temporarily the Idler had stepped aside, giving place to the real man that was Maitland—the man ready to fight for his own. naked hands against firearms, if It need be. True, be bad but to step Into the gunroom to And weapons In plenty; but these must be then loaded to be of service, and precious moments wasted in the pro­ cess—moments in which the burglar might gain access to and make off with bls booty. Maitland bad no notion whatever of permitting anything of the sort to occur. He counted upon taking his enetny unawares, difficult as he be­ lieved such a feat would be, in the case of a professional cracksman. Down the hallway he groped his way to the library door, bls fingers at length encountering its panels; It was closed, doubtless secured upon the in­ side; the slightest movement of the handle was calculated to alarm the housebreaker. Maitland paused, delib­ erating another and better plan, hav­ ing in mind a short passageway con­ necting library and smoking room. In the library itself a heavy tapestry cur­ tained its opening, while an equally heavy portiere took the place of a door at the other end. In the r xtural order of things a burglar would overlook this. Inch by inch th* young man edged into the smoking room, the door to which providentially stood unclosed. Once within, it wa* but a moment's work to feel his way to the velvet folds and draw them aside, fortunately without rattling the brass rings from which the curtain depended. And then Maitland was in the passage, acutely on the alert, recognizing from the con­ tinued click of metal that hta antagontat-to-be was still at bis difficult task. Inch by inch—there was the tapestry! Very gently the householder pushed it aside. An insidious aroma of scorching «arntab (the dark lantern) penetrated the passage while be stood on it* thresh­ old, feeling for the electric light switch. Unhappily he missed this at the first cast, and—beard from within a quick, deep hiss of breath. Some­ thing bad put the burglar on guard. Another Instant wasted, and it would be too late. The young man had to chance it And he did, without further hesitation stepping boldly into the danger zone, at the feme time making one final, desperate pass at the spot where the switch should have been—and missing it On the instant there came -a click of a different cali­ ber from those that had preceded it A revolver had been cocked, some­ where there in the blank darkness.

On the Sunday School Leeton by Rev. Dr. Linscott For the In­ ternational Newspaper Bible Study Club. June 6th, 1909. The Power of the Tongue. James 111:1-12. Golden Text—Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth bi* sou! from troubles. -Ptqv. 21:23. This chapter continues the thought of last week’s lesson, based on the previous chapter. Verse 1—What class of persons are most likely to want to rule, or be •masters," those engaged in good works or those who neglect them? Will one who is in rapt love with his fellows want to rule them, or will he judge them harshly? Unfaithful Christians always put up a high standard for others; what ef­ fect will that have upon the standard with which God will measure them? (See Matt. 7:1-8.) Verse 2—How much of our trouble and how much of the trouble we make for others is caused by our tongties? If a man does not do anv harm by his words, is he very apt to do any otherwise? • If a man says hard and unkind things about his neighbors, and In­ tentionally wounds the feelings of others by Uta words. Is he necessarily a bad man? Is the control of the tongue the key to the control of the entire man? Verse 3—It tak6s an iron bit to con­ trol a horse, what is the “bit" which will effectually control the tongue? In what respect I* an ungoverned tongue like a runaway horse with a broken bit, and what are generally the result* in each case? (Thia question must be answered In writing by mem­ ber* of the club.) Verses 4-5—Is It actually so. that the tongue i* to the man what the rudder I* to the ship, that 1*. does whose round, staring goggle* shone Is it nwisasiry at all tiroes to watch our tongues. compelling them to re­ frain from wrong word*, and to turn right words; just as the man at the wheel of a ship eootrota the rudder with vigilant watcMulne**?

After the preliminary business had been regularly dispensed with the candidate, Walter' S. Reed, was thoroughly examined as to his con­ version. call to Christian ministry, and bible doctrines. Tbe examination lasted three hours and covered com­ prehensively the subjects above named. The candidate then retired while the council del iterated as to the advisability of officially passing the candidate. With an unanimous vote it was de­ cided that be had proven beyond any doubt of his being called of the Lord into the Christian Ministry, and a thorough understanding of bible doctrines. The meeting was thed ad­ journed until seven thirty p. tn. At seven thirty the council again met with Rev. C. W. Fletcher as moderator,, and all delegates present. The united spirit of Christianity was exemplified when the brother members of Nashville. Rev. Way of the Metho­ dist chuch, Rev. Gibson of the Evan­ gelical church and Rev. Shattuck of the Apostolic Holiness church were called to the platform and Invited in a brotherly spirit to participate in the evening program. The program was as follows: Prayer—Rev.

The ball season of the Nashville club opened auspiciously Monday aftternoon al Riverside park, the the home team winning from the Cargill team of Grand Rapids by a score of eight to five. It was a good game and showed what can be expected from the Nashi-ille club later on, as this was the first time they had played together ,this season. The general all-round playingof the boys was a revelation und praise can be bestowed without stint upon them. While there were a few errors made, and some wild throws that allowed the opposing team to score, it was a game worth going quite a ways to see, as there were quite a few thrills during the game, especially in the second and seventh innings when it looked as though Nashville had taken the air­ ship route, but the boys finally titled dowh and came back to earth with no more damage than two runs in the second and three in the seventh, which was not enough to beat them. Of course, the fans had thrills enough—1 and then some—to last them until the next game. The Cargills put up a good game, but not quite good enough to teat Nashville.

Then I paid B10 to 115 i visit to a lung specialist in Spokane, who did not help me. Then I went to California, but without benefit.

HE VOTES WITH INSURGENTS Aldrich la Compelled to Withdraw the Amendment Increasing Tariff* on Bacon —Tillman Gives Heyburn Definition of a Pig. Washington, June 1.—Senator Root of New York.-got over into the relief camp in the senate and was defeated in bls efforts to have the duty on lemons voted down. The senator lined up with the Democrats and "insur­ gents" when the proposition came up to Increase the duty to 1V4 cents a pound on lemons, the Dingley duty being one cent. "In this industry during the last year the lemon growers of California have made on an average a profit of |530 per acre, with expenditures amounting to >370," said Senator Root "I would not eliminate the lemon growers of California or any other American industry, but it Is a little too much for them to come here and ask an Increase on duty when they are already making over 100 per cenL' Senator Root, having referred to the California Fruit Growers' association. Mr. Flint asked If it was not an asso­ ciation of farmers. “It Is not an incorporation of angels, and if It gets control of our market and you put up a barrier against the foreign lemon the white winged farm­ ers of the California Fruit Growers' association may yield to the tempta­ tion to get the highest price that they can for their product" Root Joins "Insurgents." The Increase was voted 43 to 23. Senators Foster of Louisiana and Fletcher of Florida. Democrats, voted In the affirmative with the Repub­ licans. and Senators Root, Beveridge, Biston, Burkett, Crawford. Cummins, Curtis and La Follette. Republicans, with a majority of the Democrats, against it. When the bacon schedule was taken up. Increasing the duty from four to five cents a pound, Senator Aldrich surprised the senate by withdrawing the finance Increase, and the duty was left at four cents. Senator Heyburn asserting that these rates of duty should be kept up because there was "no more com­ pletely distributed articles among the wage-earners than the pig. ’ Senator Tillman arose to ask the difference be­ tween the pig and the hog. "I like the term pig better than hog because hog is sometimes applied to different classes of beings," retorted the Idaho senator. "I have understood," said Senator Tillman, "that the pig Is a baby hog— a squealing fellow that has to squeal ■ometlmes when he can't get a teat." Interrupting. Senator Aldrich said the rates of the house bill In respect to these articles were protective. Aldrich Backs Down. "I have no question about that whatever." said Senator Aldrich. "I , am not falling in my duty as a pro­ tectionist In making this change. At four cents a pound there is no danger ’of any large Importations of bacon and ham in this country. When the Wilson bill was in operation with a duty of three cents a pound there were no Importations. There Is no possibility that there wil’ be large im­ portations of lard under a duty of cents a pound, ns fixed by the house. There was no increase In those Importatlons under the Wilson bill." Senator Aldrich said there had been reductions In nearly 350 items of the pending bHI. but they were not re­ duced below the protective point. Rayner In Humorous Speech. Characterizing the tariff policy of the Republican party as a "citadel of protection" and declaring that "never in his experience was a citadel In such a state of tumult and commo­ tion." Senator Rayner made a speech abounding with humorous references to many senators who have taken a prominent part in discussing the pend­ ing bill. The cotton and wool schedules ’-ore taken up to-day. Bryce at Washington, hopes to bring about a naval understanding with the United* States, has attracted great at­ tention In this country and is a relief to the minds of many persons who fear that England and Germany are sure'to have war. In a nutshell the plan, which, it is hoped, may be adopted, .is for Eng­ land to take care of the Atlantic ocean and the United States to look after the Pacific. Such an arrangement would give America a great advantage should she be forced Into a conflict with Japan and would be of immense benefit to Great' Britain should this country have to fight the Germans.

Washington, May 28.—Senator Bai­ ley of Texas and W. 8. Manning. , rep­ resentative of tbe New York Times In the senate press gallery, exchanged blows as a result of a conversation they had in reference to an article printed by the New York newspaper questioning the sincerity of the sena­ tor In bis course on the Income tax. Neither of the participants was in­ jured, as they were separated by Sen­ ator Clapp. Porto Rican Commissioner Larrlnaga. several senate employes and newspaper correspondents. Tbe versions of Mr. Bailey and Mr. Man­ ning are In substantial agreement as to the cause of the trouble, and differ only as to the number of blows struck by each. A bitter attack upon tbe author of an article in the New York Times, charging that Senator Bailey had played into the hands of Senator Aid­ rich by his course In demanding an immediate vote on the Income tax amendment, and had thus caused a split of the forces supporting such an amendment, was made by Mr. Bailey on the Door of the senate. Mr. Man­ ning accosted Mr. Bailey after the ad­ journment of the session to inform him that he was inaccurate in suggest­ ing Republican senators as a possible source of Inspiration for the article. Mr. Bailey asked who wrote the article and at tbe same time declared. It Is said, that the man who had writ­ ten It was a "liar.” Several persons heard the word "liar” proclaimed In a loud voice and then saw Mr. Bailey and Mr. Manning clinch. The latter claims Mr. Bailey hit him first. In the mix-up Mr. Man­ ning struck the senator with bis um­ brella, knocking off the senator's hat. and the senator grabbed Mr. Manning by the throat. Then came the peacemakers. LINCOLN HEAT VICTIM. Son of Martyred President Stricken at Unveiling of Statue to His Father. Louisville. Ky., June 1.—Robert T. Lincoln, son of President Lincoln, was slightly stricken by the heat to­ ward tbe close of tbe ceremonies ot unveiling his father’s statue in the Emancipator's native country seat ot Hodgenville. Mr. Lincoln is 66 years old and the fierce rays of the sun beating down upon the canvas over his. head, the emotion incident to the memorials and the fatigue of bls journey almost unnerved him. He leapt heavily upon tbe arm of Henry Watterson who spoke at the exercises and who escorted him to his car. After he had spent several hours in bis private car Mr. Lincoln was completely restored. His chief regret seemed to be that bls illness had prevented him from taking the three-mile ride from Prevent Melancholy.

GOVERNOR SIGNS MEASURES With Memorial Day Ceremonies Out of the Way Warner Gets Busy on Bills—Few Are Vetoed by the Executive. Lansing.—With Memorial day cere­ monies out of the way Gov. Warner returned to Lansing, took the guber­ natorial reins from the hands of Sec­ retary of State Martindale and again plunged Into the work of cleaning up the remainder of the bills passed by the state legislature. With scarcely an exception all the measures were signed and as a result will go Into effect as soon as the en­ actment clauses designate. A num­ ber of the more Important laws go into effect July 1, while others be­ came laws with the attachment of the gubernatorial signature. Some will have no effect on the machinery of the state until late In 1909. Gov. Warner affixed his signature to a number of senate and house bills, vetoing only the bill dividing a school district in Kent county into two dis­ tricts. A considerable number of the measures, which reached him were held up for a week for further ex­ amination, although the governor says that at present he has' no idea he will refuse to approve any of them. Among those approved were all the appro­ priation bills for state Institutions which have been engrossed. Th*e home rule bill has not reached the executive office. Among the general bills signed were the following: Tuttle bill, creating an additional circuit in Ingham county; Aitkin bill, defining the duties of probation offi­ cers; Taylor bill, providing for the publication of additional copies of the new constitution; Tuttle bill, provid­ ing for a commission to investigate vagrancy in this state and to recom­ mend a cure for the evil; Anhut bill, providing for the incorporation of railway engineers* and conductors' associations; Moriarty bill, providing that the state may pay the expense of transportation of paroled convicts to the home of their first friend; Fields bill, providing for establishing county sanitariums; Clarkson bill, providing for a prison Industry com­ mission to Investigate the present contract labor system in prisons, and report at the next session; Sanders anti-stock watering bill; Newkirk bill, prohibiting the adulteration or misbranding of drugs.

The recent earthquake in Michigan has stirred up the scientists, who are discussing the theory that Michigan possesses a "tilt" line running across the state from the region of Port Huron to Manistee. It is their view that north of this imaginary line the earth Is gradually tilting one way and south of It tilt­ ing the other. State Geologist Lane says the quakes of the other day may furnish, new’ data regarding the "tilt.". This so-called "tilting" Is very slow except when the t-’-emors come. The last previous quake In Michigan was In 1884. No serious change In the topography of Michigan is taking place, as If it estimated by the scien­ tists that the tilting is about at the rate of six inches in 100 miles in ICO years. Gov.

IS EDICT OF THE ASSEMBLY Delegates After Debate Decide That Judges Who Belong to Church May Issue Licenses for Saloons—Taft and Kaiser Praised. Denver. Col.. May 28.—Clergymen and laymen should not use tobacco, but It is not contrary to the principles of tbe church for Presbyterian judges to grant saloon licenses. This was decided by tbe general assembly of the Presbyterian church. The assembly thus expressed itself in approving the report of the tem­ perance committee after a long dis­ cussion. Tbe report commended President Taft. Emperor William and former President Eliot of Harvard for being teetotalers; and urged the min­ isters of the church to petition con­ gress to stop interstate shipments of liquors, to discontinue the issuance of international revenue receipts in prohibited territory, and to prohibit the use of the mails for the distribu­ tion of liquor or advertisements of liquor. Anti-Tobacco Resolution. Rev. Ellisworth Rich of Watson­ ville. Cal., introduced the resolution that ministers should not use tobacco. A layman arose and declared Mr. Rich should include laymen. This was done and the resolution was adopted amid cheering. A commissioner then urged the adoption of a resolution that Presby­ terian judges should refuse to grant licenses for saloons even though it be their duty under the law. Sev­ eral speakers at’once opposed this with the argument that a judge should not be criticised for his actions under the law. but the first speaker demand­ ed that judges when confronted wltl^ such a situation resign the bench rather than grant the license. Com­ missioners from Pennsylvania said that It was the legal duty of their district judges to Issue such licenses and opposed the resolution. "God grant that our judges do not resign upon such an occasion.” said one commissioner, “for it will only pave the way for worse ones." Tbe resolution was defeated. Prof. Jenks an Envoy.

The News herewith presents * pic­ ture of the new Hurd block, now near­ ly completed, which is the latest ad­ dition to Nashville's many tine busi­ ness buildings. Tbe block stands at the southeast corner of Main and Maple streets, and covers the entire lot, with the exception of a small area way at the rear, between . the new block and the News office. The bui'ding is*33x90 feet, two stories high, and is of cement blocks, presenting a very clean and neat appearance. The main door nnd basement, which is all cemented, is Occupied by the Cort-' right department store, while the second floor will contain two suites of offices in the front, which will be large and well lighted, and two Suites of living rooms in the rear, comprised of seven rooms each. Mr. Hurd will occupy due of the suites of living rooms himself, while the-other will be for rent. The building is supplied with city water and will be thorough­ ly equipped with toilet rooms, lava­ tories, baths, etc. There is a huge cistern in the basement which will .supply soft water to the entire build­ ing. The total cost of the building will be in the neighborhood of 47.000. The Cortright store, which has been moved into tiie building during the ■ past two weeks, already finds its large new quarters all too small for the im­ mense stock of goods which they carry, and they are at their wits end to find shelf room and storage room for their goods, but when they get settled will have the largest and ’most convenient store room in the town lit which to do business. The second floor of the building is not yet completed, but is being finished as rapidly as Mr. Hurd can find time to get at it. He-will probably move into his suite of rooms some time during the summer^ but the rest of the floor will not be finished until tenants are secured. 0 Farm Tools The name Johnston on a farm tool stands for absolute satisfaction in the work it does and the V length of service it gives.

Plainly enough the girl be­ lieved him to be Anisty. . . . Well, and why not? Why shouldn’t he be Anisty for the time being, if it suited his purpose so to masquerade? It might possibly milt his purpose. He thought his position one uncommon­ ly difficult. As Maitland, he had on his hands a female thief, a hardened char­ acter, a common malefactor (strange that he got so little relish of the terms!), caught red-handed; as Mait­ land. his duty was to . hand her over to the law. to be dealt with as—what she was. Yet, even while these consid­ erations were urging themselves upon him. he knew his eyes appraised her with open admiration and Interest She stood before him. slight, delicate, pret­ ty. appealing In her Ingenuous candor; and at his mercy.

As Anisty. however—if he chose to assume that'expert’s identity for the nonce—he would be placed at once on a plane of equality with the girl; from a fellow of her craft she- could hardly refuse attentions. As AniBty, he would put himself in a position to earn her friendship, to gain—perhaps—her con­ fidence, to learn something of her necessities, to aid and protect her from the consequences of her misdeeds; possibly—to sum up—to divert her footsteps to the paths of a calling less hazardous and more honorable. ftVorthy ambition—to reform a burliar!

"I beg you proceed and let thy cbeela profit through obser­ vation!’’ And a, small white hand ges­ tured slgnflcantly toward the collec­ tion of burglar’s tools—drills and chisels, skeleton keys, putty, and all— —neatly displayed upon the rug before the massive safe. "You mean that you wish me to crack this safe for you?** he inquired, with Inward consternation. "Not for me. Disappointment I ad­ mit la mine; but not for the loss I sus­ tain. In the presence of the master J am content to stand humbly to one side, as befits one of my lowly State in —in the ranks of our profession. I re­ sign.

"I am entirely serious. My loss of to­ day will prove my gain to-morrow. I look for incalculable benefit through study of your methods. My own. I confess," with a contemptuous toss of her head toward the burglar's kit, “are clumsy, antiquated, out of date. . . . But then. I'm only an ama"Oh, but a woman—" he began to apologize on her behalf. "Ob, but a woman!” she rapped out smartly. "I wish 'you to understand that this woman, at least, is no mean—" And she hesitated. "Thief?" he supplied, crudely. "Yes. thief! We’re two of a feather, at that” “True enough. . . ." , But you were first In the field; I fall to see why ‘ I should reap any reward for tardiness. The spoils must be yours.” It was a test; Maitland watched her keenly, fascinated by the subtlety of the game. "But I refuse. Mr. Anisty—positively refuse to go to work while you stand aside and—and laugh." Pride! He stared, openly amazed, at this bewllderlngly feminine bundle of Inconsistencies. With each facet of her character discovered to him, min­ ute by minute, the study of her be­ came to him the more engrossing. He drew nearer, eyes speculative. ■ “I will agree," he said, slowly, "to crack the safe, but upon conditions." She drew back imperceptibly, amused, but asserting her dignity. "Yes?" she led him on, though in no accent of encouragement “Back there, in the river," he drawled deliberately, forcing the pace, “I found you—beautiful." She flushed, lip curling. “And, back there, in the river, I thought you—a gentleman!" "Although a burglar?" "A gentleman for all that!" “I promise you I mean do harm," he prefaced. "But don’t you see how 1 am putting myself Ln your power? His face lightened; his manner changed; he assumed with avidity the role for which she had cast him and which he stood so ready to accept and 'Well and good." he conceded with air. "I suppose I may as well “Oh, I know yop." she assured him, with a little, confident shake of her head. "There's no deceiving me. But," and her smile became rueful, “If only you'd waited ten minutes more! Of course I recognized you from the first —down there by the river; and knew very well what was your—lay; you gave yourself away completely by mentioning the distance from the rive, to the Manor. And I did so want to get ahead of you on this job! What a feather in one's cap, to have fore­ stalled Dan Anisty! . . : But hadn’t you better be a little careful with those lights? You seem to forget that there are servants in the house.

And. crossing to the windows, be loosed the heavy velvet hangings and let them fall to­ gether. drawing their edges close so that no ray of light might escape.

The hauteur of her pose, the sym­ pathy and laughter that lurked in her mouth, the manifest breeding in the delicate modeling of her nostrils, and the firm, straight arch of her nose, the astonishing allurement of her eyes, combined with their spirited womanli­ ness—these, while they completed the conquest of the, young man, abashed him. He found himself of a sudden endowed with a painful appre­ ciation .of his own Imperfections, the littleness of his ego, the inherent coarseness of his masculine fiber, the poor futility of his ways, contrasted with her perfections. He felt as if re­ buked for some unwarrantable pre­ sumption. . . . For he had looked into eyes that were windows of a soul; and the soul was that of a child, un­ sullied and immaculate. You may smile; but as for Maitland, he deemed it no laughing matter. From that moment bls perception was clear that, whatever she might claim to be. however damning the circumstances in which she appeared to him, there was no evil in her. But what he did not know, and did not even guess, was that from the same Instant, his being was in bond­ age to her will. So Love comes, strangely masked. CHAPTER IV. Midsummer NlghVs Madness.

Warner before the session for­ mally adjourned sine die. Representa­ tives Monroe, 'Stewart, Yaple and Ogg were present in the house when Speaker Campbell brought down his gavel. The executive office was una­ ble to send In a complete list of all the bills, as some of them were not actually signed. Those that were ready were read off by Clerk King and ,the complete list appears in 'the journal, so that the record Is com­ plete. Of the Mils which failed, the most important one was Senator Aitken’s banking bill allowing state banks in cities of lass than 2.000 to carry a smaller amount of actual cash than is required by the genera, banking law. and restricted the territory In which state banks might deal in real estate mortgages to Michigan. The governor did not care so much about the first provision, but claimed that the sec­ ond. one would operate seriously to cripple some banks, which dealt large­ ly In real estate mortgages in other states. Tbe other bills which failed are as follows: Representative Morgan—Repealing the law prohibiting the use of oleo In state Institutions. Thevgovcrnor took the posi­ tion that the repeal would apply to the inmates, but not to the officers of the in­ stitutions. Representative ’ Gray—Authorising the city Of Lansing to use certain state lots for parks. As drafted the city became the actual owners of these lots. Senator Taylor—Limiting county super­ intendents of the poor to two consecu­ tive terms. Senator Taylor—Providing for 2,000 ad­ ditional sets of constitutional convention debates. There are now 500 sets on hand and they are not In active demand. Senator Watkins—Providing for paring state employes once a month instead of twice. The governor decided that thia would be a hardship. Senator White—Limiting the personal responsibility of city, township, village and county treasurers where they exer­ cise common business judgment. It was the consensus of opinion that this meas­ ure would establish a dangerous prece­ dent. Representative Verdler—Amending the garnishee law so as tp include counties. Representative Fowle— Amending the eluded in another bill which wax signed. Representative McNaughton—Dividing the school district in Wyoming township. Kent county.

The capital city mayor went Into details concerning the light and water plants of Lansing, owned by the city since 1885, saying that the plan of city ownership has been a success. Delegates from St Clair. Eaton Rapids and Ludington did not think the municipal ownership plan was a success. Lawton T.

' * Washington, June 8.—Following the lively clashes of yesterday on the cot­ ton schedule of tbe tariff bill, in which Senators Aldrich, Beveridge, Dolliver and Cummins played star parts, further spirited debate was ex­ pected when the senate convened to­ day to take up the woo|en schedules. Senator Beveridge having said that he had been inclined to support the recommendations of the finance com­ mittee, the admission led the chair­ man of the committee to say that he bad not shown such inclnation by his vote. Coming back, the Indiana sena­ tor asserted bis right to follow bis conscience rather than the leadership of any individual. . Senator Dolliver's amendment an mercerization was lost by the unusu­ ally close vote of 32 to 38, but an amendment reducing the house rate on stockings 20 cents on a dozen pairs was adopted. Aldrich Challenges Republicans. It was after the vote on the Dolliver amendment that Senator Aldrich found occasion to again challenge the attitude of some of the Republican senators who are contending for lower duties. He charged them with play­ ing the part of brigadier for the Dem­ ocrats and speaking of Senator Bever­ idge, declared that he bad associated with the Democrats so long that he was adopting their, ideas. He charac­ terized Senator Beveridge as the lead­ er of the opposition. Both Senators Beveridge and Cum­ mins replied, the former asserting that he was simply standing on tbe Republican platform Smith Hops on MacVeagh. Senator Smith of Michigan found occasion to attack the position of Secretary MacVeagh as the mouth­ piece of the administration on the tar­ iff situation. He intimated that he did not consider the second member of the president's cabinet a reliable leader on the subject, because of bis (ormer Democratic proclivities. During a defense of his position as a tariff revisionist. Senator Cum­ mins said be had so often been classed with Democrats that such a charge had no terror for him. An Intelligent electorate, be said, knew bow' to discriminate in such matters. Dolliver Gets a Laugh. Speaking of the large delegations of women which protested against raising the rates on hosiery. Senator Dolliver told how they had descended upon the finance committee after hav­ ing called first on the speaker of the house. "Most of the women wore silk hose, too. 1 suppose?" observed Senator Galllnger. "I have not Investigated as to that," replied Senator Dolliver amid laugh­ ter. House Passes Porto Rican Bill.

Mr Holden had been worrying about business affairs. Following the suicide F. S. Osborne, active head of the company, said the firm will suspend temporarily. "I cannot tell how I stand. I am going to suspend temporarily," Mr. Gsborne declared. He declined to say anything further. Slays Young Business Man. Springfield, Mo., June 8.—Suspect­ ing that his wife bad made an ap­ pointment with Robert Sellers, a young business man, to meet him at a department store here, Walter W.

CAUSE SUFFICIENT, HE SAYS Attorney for the Fair Plaintiff, Argues That Tresses Are Feminine Beauty Asset and Judge Quarles of Mil­ waukee Agrees. Milwaukee, June 5.—Judge Quarles has established in jurisprudence a principle in law that anything which tends to lessen the dazzling beauty of woman has laid Itself open to the bit­ terest condemnation of all men and to liability for damages. A woman has a perfectly good cause for complaint in an action for damages if she loses her hair by rea­ son of the application of chemicals, particularly so if the solution is ad­ vertised as being a hair restorer. Overrules the Demurrer. Judge Quarles has overruled the demurrer of a company of Fond du Lac to the complaint of Mrq. M. L. Bowman to the effect that her com­ plaint does not state a sufficient cause of action. He gave the defend­ ants time to file their answer. Mrs. Bowman, a traveling woman, sued the drug company and a St. Louis manufacturer of hair dye for 120,000 damages-for the loss of'her hair. She alleges Its loss was caused by the application of hair stain pur­ chased of the drug company and manu­ factured by the SL Louis company. The defendants demurred on the ground that tbe complaint failed to stale a sufficient cause of action. Hair Her Chief Beauty. "Her hair Is woman’s chief beauty," said the attorney for Mrs. Bowman, while arguing the case. "To para­ phrase a well-known quotation, 'He who steals her pocketbook steals trash —usually—but he who filches her hair takes that which cannot enrich him and leavee her poor indeed.’ A wom­ an’s hair Is dne of her chief assets. That has come to be so well acknowl­ edged that women nowadays are not content with nature’s gifts, but purchase large quantities of bogus capil­ lary vegetation In order to increase their assets." FEUDIST IS SHOT AS RESULT OF CHURCH WAR Former Kentucky Sheriff Fatally Wounded in His Store—Said He Had Feared for Life. Jackson, Ky., June 8.—Ex-Sheriff Edward Callahan, famous throughout this section of the state for the part he played In the numerous feuds that have disrupted Breathitt county for years, was shot from ambush and. It is believed, fatally wounded, at his home In Crockettsville, 16 miles from Jack­ son. * Callahan had swept out his store pre­ paratory to opening for the day and was brushing the refuse from the frdnt door when the shot was fired from ambush. The ball took effect in the left side of bls abdomen. Blood­ hounds have been put on tbe trail of the assasrln. Callahan recently told friends that he expected to be at­ tacked. It Is reported that the immediate cause of the shooting of ex-Sherlff Callahan was a dispute over the man­ agement of a church he built, and of which he is deacon, at Crocketts­ ville. Callahan was the chief lieutenant of Judge James Hargis, who was shot and killed by bis son. Beech Hargis, the latter having received a life sen­ tence in the penitentiary for th'? mur­ der. Later developments regarding the shooting are that at least two assas­ sins and probably more were engaged in the conspiracy to wipe out the Callahan family. At the same' time the elder Callahan was being fired upon, another party or a number of them attacked his son, Wilson Calla­ han. A bullet fired b/ the unseen enemy plowed Its way through his hair and carried his hat 20 feet away.

In a trice she was offering him half a dozen of the heavy, twisted silk cords that had been used to loop back tbe curtains. Soft yet strong, they were excellent­ ly well adapted to Maltland's needs. Unceremoniously he swung his captive over on his side, bringing his neck and ankles In juxtaposition to the legs of that substantial piece of furniture, the lounge. ’ His hands, the first to be secured, and tightly, behind his back. Anisty lay helpless, glaring vindictively the while gradually he recovered consciousness and strength. Maitland cared little for his evil glances; he was busy. The burglar's ankles were next bound to­ gether and to the lounge leg; and, an instant later, a brace of half-bitches about the man's neck and the nearest {rapport entirely eliminated him as a possible factor in subsequent events. “Those loops around your throat," Maitland warned him curtly, "are loose enough now, but if you struggle they’ll tighten and strangle you. Un­ derstand ?" Anisty nodded, making an inco­ herent sound with his swollen tongue. At which Maitland frowned, smitten thoughtful with a new consideration. “You mustn't talk, you know," he mused half aloud; and. whipping forth a handkerchief, gagfeed Mr. Anisty. After which, breathing hard and in a maze of perplexity, he got to his feet Already his hearing, quickened by the emergency, had apprised him of the aitnatlon’s imminent hazards. it needed not the girl's hurried whisper, 'The servants!” to warn him of their danger. From the rear wing of the mansion the sounds of hurrying feet For an Instant They Were Swaying Back and Forth. were distinctly audible, as. presently. Were the heavy, excited voices ot men and the more shrill and frightened cries of women. Heedless of her displeasure. Mait­ land seised the girl by the arm and urged her over to the open window. "Don't hang back!" he told her ner­ vously. “You must get out of this be­ fore they see you. Do as I tell you. please, and we’ll save ourselves yet! If we both make a run for It. we're lost. Don’t you understand?" "No. Why?" she demanded, reluc­ tant, spirited, obatinate—and lovely in his eyes. "If he were anybody else.” Maitland indicated, with a jerk of his head to­ ward the burglar. "But didn't you see? He must be Maitland—and he’s my double. I'll stay, braxen it out, then, as soon as possible, make my es­ cape and join you by the gate. Your motor's there—wait! Be ready for me” But she had grasped his Intention and was suddenly become pliant to his wilt “You're wonderful!" she told him with a little low laugh; and was (one, silently as a spirit. The curtains fell behind her in long, straight folds; Maitland stilled their swaying with a touch, and stepped hack into tbe room. For a moment he caught the eye of the fellow on lhe floor; it was upturned to his, sardonic­ ally intelligent. But the lord of lhe manor had little time to debate con­ sequences. Abruptly the’ door wag flung wide and a short atouf man. clutrhinir nA . ■ his trousers with a frantic hand, burst into the library, brandishing over-, head a rampant revolver. '"Ands hup!" he cried, leveling at Maitland. And then, with a fallen countenance: "G-r-r-reat 'eavlns, slrt You. Mister Maitland, sir!” "Ah. Higgins," his employer greeted the butler blandly. Higgins ’ pulled up, thunderstruck, panting and perspiring with agitation. His fat cheeks quivered like the wat­ tles of a gobbler, and his eyes bulged as, by degrees, he became alive to the situation. . Maitland began to explain, forestall­ ing the embarrassments of cross-exam­ ination. "Dy the merest accident, Higgins, I was passing in my car with a party of .friends. Just for a joke I thought I’d' steal up to the house and'she how you were behaving yourselves. By chance —again—I happened to see this light through the library windows." And Maitland, putting an incautious hand upon the bull’s-eye on the desk, with­ drew It Instantly, with an exclamation of annoyance and four scorched fin­ gers. "He's been ut the safe." he added quickly, diverting attention from him­ self. "I was just In time." "My wor-r-rd!" said Higgins, with emotion. Then quickly: "Did ’e get anythin', do you think, sir?” Maitland shook his head, scowling over the butler's burly shoulders at tbe rapidly augmenting concourse, of serv­ ants In the hallway—lackeys, grooms, maids, cooks, and what-not; a back­ ground of pale, scared faces to the tableau In the library. "Tills won't do." considered Maitland. "Ctet back, all of you!" b» ordered, sternly, indi­ cating the group with a dominant and. Inflexible forefinger. "Those who are wanted will be sent for. Now go! Higgins, you may stay." "Yes, sir. Yes, sir. But wot an ’orrid 'appenln', sir. If you'll permit me—’’ "I won't Be quiet and listen.

Let him alone—he can’t escape if you do. Above all things, don’t you dare to re­ move that gag!" ."Most cert’inly, sir. I shall bear in mind wot you says—’’ “You'd best," grimly. "Now I'm off. No; I don’t want any attendance—I know my way. And—don’t—touch— that man—till I return." "Very good, sir." Maitland stepped over to the safe, glanced within, cursorily, replaced a bundle of papers wfiiab he did not re­ call disturbing, closed the door and twirled the combination. "Nothing gone.7 he announced. An inarticulate gurgle from the prostrate man drew a black scowl from Mait­ land. Recovering, "Good mornina” he said politely to the butler, and striding out of the house by the front door, was careful to slam that behind him, ere darting into tbf shadows. The moon was down, tbe sky a cold, opaque gray, overcast with a light drift of cloud. The park seemed very dark, very dreary; a searching breeze was- sweeping inland from tbe sound, soughing sadly in tfie tree tops; a chjll humidity permeated the air, pre­ cursor of rain. The young man shiv­ ered, both with Schill and reactlon from the tension of the emergency just’past. He was aware of an Instantaneous loss of heart, a subsidence of the elation which had upheld him through­ out the adventure; and to escape this, to forget or overcome It, took Imme­ diately to his heels, scampering madly for the road, oppressed with fear lest he should find the girl gone—with the jewels. That she should prove untrue, faith­ less. lacking even that honor which proverbially obtains in the society of criminals—a consideration of such a possibility was intolerable, as much so as the suspense of Ignorance. He cculd not. would not. believe her capable of ingratitude so rank; and fought fiercely, unreasonlngly, against the conviction that she would have fol­ lowed her thievish instincts and made off with the booty. ... A judgment meet and right upon him for his madness! Heart in mouth, he reached the gates, passing through without dis­ covering her. and was struck dumb and witless with relief when she stepped quietly from the shadows of a low branching tree, offering him a guiding hand. '•Come," she said, quietly. "This way." Without being exactly conscious of what he was about he caught tbe hand tn both his own. "Then," he ex­ ulted almost passionately—“then you didn't—" His voice choked in his throat. Her face, momentarily upturned to his, gleamed pale and weary in the dreary fight; the face of a tired child, troubled, saddened; yet with eyes in­ expressibly sweet.

PUT STATE PLANT BUSINESS. OUT OF Binder Twine Trust Said to Be Carrying on Campaign To­ ward That End. Jackson, Mich., Jjxne 12.—Facts that are coming to the surface indi­ cate that the American Harvester company, which is commonly known as tne binder twine trust, is taking advantage of the great expose at the prison to make a still fight against the prison binder twine plant. This year tbe prison expects to make 1,500 tons of twine and about 1,000 tons have already been disposed of. Early in the season a contract was entered into with The Gleaners, a farmers’ organization, to sell tbe out­ put, the price agreed upon being 87.50 Ser hundred pounds if paid within ten ays, and 87.75 if payment is deferred until October 15. Advertisements have appeared in different places, paid for by local merchants who handle the American Harvester company’s products, call­ ing attention to the prison scandal and charging that tbe balls of twine manufactured by the prison are short in length. The company has also re­ duced the price of twine to 87.25 per hundred, and the members of the board of control are convinced that the trust is trying to put the prison plant out of business if possible. The Gleaners have taken up the fight and both sides are flooding the farming districts with letters and pamphlets. It is claimed that the state grange has played into the bands of the trust There is some interest­ ing correspondence at the prison be­ tween the board and George B. Hor­ ton, former master of the state I grange. Members of the board say | that there is a plan to trick them into 1 putting a higher price on tbe twine so 1 that the trust could undersell it The I state grange did not buy any of the I prison twine last year and a merry I warfare is being waged between the two farmer organizations.—Detroit Free Press.

Notes and Gossip Gathered in Vios-Preeldsnt Decides Wisconsin Sen­ ator's Pereonal Attack la Improper —Cummins and Beveridge Grilled by Aldrich for Votes on Wool. _ Washington, June 12.—The rules ot the senate, according to Vice-Presi­ dent Sherman, were violated when Senator La Follette of Wisconsin made a personal attack on Senator Aldrich, whom he accused of leglsla. tlve trickery and called unfit to serve as leader of the Republican forces in the highest branch of the nation's law­ making body. The charge by the Wisconsin sena­ tor-followed the action of the senate In voting down all of the amendments he bad offered to the wool schedule of the tariff bill. Taking the floor as soon ' as the La Follette amendments had been re­ jected, Senator Aldrich declared'that the amendment affecting wool of the first class if adopted would have cut down the duty one-half. This he ex­ plained was because of the fluctuation In the price of foreign wool, which at times would make the protective duty 4 Vi instead of 11 cents a pound, although on Its face It was 45 per cent ad valorem. Raps Beveridge and Cummins. •’I would-like to know." said the senator from Rhode Island, "how my friend from Indiana (Senafor Bev­ eridge) and how my friend from Iowa (Senator Cummins) will explain their votes In reducing the protection which has been afforded the wool growers of the United States 40 and 50 per cent by their action In this matter?" "It will keep us much busier," In­ terposed Senator Clapp, “In explain­ ' Ing somebody else’s votes.” This declaration called forth applause from the galleries, which was quickly sup­ pressed by Vice-President Sherman. "My votes need no explanation," re­ sponded Senator Aldrich, "either to myself or to my constituents to whom I am directly responsible.” As he was speaking, Senator Aid­ rich produced a teelgram wh|ch he had just received quoting the Liver­ pool price of merinos at 13% cents. That, he said, would mean-"a duty of six cents a pound on these merinos, the woolen goods that come more se­ verely In competition with those of the United States than any others." La Follette In Hot Reply. No sooner had Senator Aldrich taken bls seat than Senator La Fol­ lette was upon his feet "That statement of the senator from Rhode lBland." he said, with Impetuous language, "is an impeachment of the leadership of the senator from Rhode Island. The want of. confidence which has come to some Republican mem­ bers in this body would find justifica­ tion In his course here to-day if It bad never before. Reserving his In­ formation upon this bill, he compelled •gerybody to vote upon the amend.ofenta paragraph by paragraph.

"The senator from Rhode Island," Senator La Follettee continued, "with all his craftiness, has embarrassed the Republicans." He said Senator Aldrich had stated "half truths, which have discredited his leadership before this body and before this country. Talks of Legislative Trick. "The senator from Rhode Island need not take to himself any anxiety about the report that senators of the middle west will make when they re­ turn to their state and discuss these questions with their constituents. He cannot, by any legislative trick, argue any amendments that have been voted upon, confusing the minds of sena­ tors here who have been exercising some Independence by inciting terror or timidity." There was a hasty protest by Sena­ tor Galltnger, who called upon Vice­ President Sherman to invoke para­ graph 2 of rule 19. “in my experience in this body," said Senator Gallinger, “I have never heard so oft-repeated accusation that legislative tricks were being prac­ ticed and I ask that this rule be laid before the senate that everyone may know what It is.” Consideration of the income tax pro­ vision went over until next Friday. using rifles and revolvers with deadly alm.

The Harvest Festival will occupy the two middle days of the week, August 11-12. The committees are already planning arrangements to make this the biggest week in Nashville’s his­ tory. Write to your absent friends and have them all come home at that time. The Nashville creamerv has tbe past week made 400 lbs. more butter than ever before in one week, and will make more the next few weeks. This is due to the fact that many of the farmers are getting more and better cows. Many new patrons have been received, that have been convinced that it is more' profitable to send cream to Nashville creamery than to make their own butter. ’ Dell White and Seward Hecox have nearly completed their job of paint­ ing at tbe Cole resort at Thornapple, and the buildings make a far better appearance than ever before. J. C. Hurd is now installing one of his gasolene lighting systems at the re­ sort, which will make a noticeeable improvement. People who have not been there during the spring will hardly recognize the place, owing to the extensive improvements which have taken place, and the pleasant resorts bids fair to be more popular this season that ever before. On account of the commencement exercises at the opera house this week there will bejjo moving picture show at the Star until Saturday evening. However, tbe Saturday evening pro­ gram will consist of the very best and most interesting subjects obtainable. Every feature will be new and never exhibited here before. The vaudeville acts will Include Mumbling Mose and “Smile, smile, smile,” by La Belle Creole. Miss Boalrd will sing tbe illustrated songs and Miss Downing and “Woody” will entertain with in­ strumental solos and duets. Bee hand bills Saturday fqr complete program. The Tigers came to town Friday last and what they did to the Nashville team was a pity.

That it shall lie the duty of every owner, possessor, or occupier of land to cut or cause to be cut down all Canada thistles growing thereon, or on the highway passing by or through lhe same, so often in each and every year as shall be sufficient to prevent them going to seed: and if any owner, Kssessor, or occupier of land shall owingly suffer any such Canada thistles to grow thereon, and the seed tn ripen so as to cause or endanger the spread thereof, he shall, on con­ viction, be liable to a tine of ten doll­ ars for every such offence. Published by order of Chas. Feighner. Highway Commissioner of Castleton Township. Nashville was well represented at Grand Rapids Friday, the final day of “Merchants' Week.” there being upwards of sixty Nashville people in the city on that day. All wore special Nashville badges, printed in dark blue on gold ribbon, with the inscrip­ tion, “The best town of iu size in lhe stale—Nashville, Mich.” The badges attracted much attention and com­ ment, and gave people plainly to un­ derstand that Nashville is *‘od the map.” The banquet which wound up lhe festivities was a grand affair, over two thousanu people being seated at the tables, which were spread under a mammoth lent. In spile of the enormous crowd, every­ thing went off in good shape, meats, coffee, potatoes, etc., being served steaming hot and tbe service being all that could possibly be desired. The whole affair, Including tbe after din­ ner speeches, was concluded by a lit­ tle after nine o'clock. The parade of Thursday was a revelation of tbe fact that “Grand Rapids Knows How,” and not only knows how, but does it. It was a most beautiful and sj>eetacular pageant and nearly every float in the parade received rounds of ap­ plause all along the line of march. Certainly tbe Nashville people who enjoyed “Merchants’ Week” this year will not miss it next year. MARKET REPORTS. Following are the market quota­ tions current in Nashville yesterday: Wheat, 91.45.

GRADUATING EXERCISES Nine fluttering heart* are beating more regularly since Thursday night, and - nine more young people have completed tbeir course of study in the Nashville schools and are preparing to go out into the world and make things hum. The class is more or less Mormonistic in its composition, there being six girls and three boys, but we have no doubt the extra girls will be able to find life companion­ ship without resorting to polygamy. At least we sincerely hope so, for while ibe boys are all fine fellow* and would no doubt make model husbands, we imagine the girl* would prefer going outside the class rather than to mix up in an ‘‘unlimited” partnership. The members of the class are Alice Roscoe, Eva Evans, Mildred Coe, Carrie Caley, Mary Belle, Elsie Wolfe, Eizie and Ellie Clifford and Orlan Boston. The commencement exercises were held at the opera house Thursday evening, and were fully up to the standard of those of prior years. The house stage was beautifully decorated with the classcolors, purple and gold, while overhead in large letters hung the class motto, ‘‘Excelsior.” The house was completely filled when the program was opened by an overture by the orchestra, immediately follow­ ing which, aud to the strains of the class march, the class was u&herefl to the stage. First up the center aisle came the Juniors, ten in number, as a guard of honor, marching in double file. Upon reaching the foot of the broad steps leading to the platform, they opened ranks, and allowed the class, preceded by the faculty of the high school and Revs. Wav and Reed, to pas* to the platform. The Juniors then retired to the rear of the hall, where they had charge of the work of ushering. When all had been seated, Rev. Alfred Way made the invocation, following which Mis* Coe, salutatorian, welcomed the assemblage in be­ half of the class, thanked the high school faculty for the pain* they had token with the class, the school board and the people of the village for pro­ viding sucn excellent educational facilities, and made a touching fare­ well to the members of the class, her easy manner and perfect enunciation malting her the recipient of marked applause when she completed her re­ marks. Misses Evans and Caley were next on the program with the “Class History.” Meeting by accident in the waiting room of a station in a dis­ tant city in 1919, they regaled each other by reciting the weal and woe of the various members .of the class dur­ ing the decade which had passed, and incidentally got a few hearty laughs out of tlie audience by their trite comments on past events. Eltie Clifford had for his subject an "Eulogy on Charles Sumner,’’ and the way in which he handled his sub­ ject showed careful study of the character of Sumner, as a true and sincere patriot instead of the wearer of the closk of infamy with which his defamers would have clad him. After a selection by the orchestra, Miss Bell and Mr. Boston gave the “Class Prophecy,” which conflicted somewhat with the “Chvs* History,” but was nevertheless clever and judg­ ing from the applause, highly appre­ ciated by the audience. Miss Wolfe, who surprised the audience by her ability as a reader, Eve*‘Little Briar Rose,” and won arty approbations by the able manner in which she brought out the subtleties of the poem. Following another selection by the orchestra. Eizie Clifford delivered an oration on “America for Americans.” We understand Mr. Clifford expects to become a lawyer, in which case our ardent sympathies are with any court stenographer who tries to report his addresses. Hi* word* came like the discharge of a Gatling gun, about three hundred to the minute, but be had bi* subject well in hand and it was easy to keep the drift of his re­ marks, even if you couldn’t separate individual words. Miss Roscoe had the “Valedictory,” and her words of thanks to public, board and faculty, a* well of fare­ well and advice to the individual members of the class showed deep feeling and careful preparation. Superintendent C. W. Appleton, who presented the diploma*, pre­ faced that duty by a few practical and common sense remarks toparents and patrons of the schools. The presenta­ tion of the diplomas was done in a few brief and well-chosen words, im­ pressing upon tbs minds of each the fact that the diploma was a mark of honor which was ofJittle value unless it was taken a* a certificate of the character and ability of its possessor to be able to go on with the real work of life, for which the coarse of study of the school is but the first prepara­ tion. Following the presentation of the diplomas. Mr. Appleton delivered to the’members of the eighth grade who passed the recent county examin­ ation their eight grade diplomas, and they were about as proud of them as the'seniors were of their well-earned sheepskins. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Walter S. Reed, and as the orchestra started up their last selec­ tion, the audience prepared to leave the room, when a sudden commotion was beard near the outer door and the junior class rushed up the aisle, each tearing a bale of excelsior tied with ribbons, and proceeded to bom­ bard the graduates with their class NUMBER 44 �■Mm look, he CHAPTER IV-Continued “And you’re not going to back out of our partnership?” “Oh!” And now the color in her ehseks was warmer than that which the dawn had lent them.

Lake Shore & South Bend railroad in Porter county, Ind., Saturday night, when two of the big electric cars collided head-on. According to General Manager H. U. Wallace, the wreck whs due to a *• disobedience of orders by Motorman George A. Reed of the east-bound car. who was killed. Reed received instructions at Gary to wait at Wilson, a short distance "west of Baileytown, the point at which the disaster occurred, for the. west­ bound car to pass.

The scene of the wreck immediately t after the crash was described by eye­ witnesses as being sickening In the extreme. The two cars were welded together into a mass of debris in . which lay the ten dead and dying and the Zwo-score injured. The home of E. R. Borg, near by. was converted into a temporary hospital and morgue. All but one of toe killed were in the smoking compartment of the car in the front end. David Cradford, a chauffeur of South Bend, Ind., related a graphic story of the accident. "About nine o'clock, when we were running between 50 and 60 miles an hour. I noticed Kinney, the conductor. In toe smoking compartment," said Crawford. "Suddenly there was a ter­ rific crash, smashing of timbers and creaking of steel. Then suddenly everything was dark and a death-like stillness followed. "But it was for a second only. Im­ mediately afterwards tbe stillness was broken by the cries of the injured and dying. Shrieks and groans horrified the passengers who had escaped. The cars telescoped each other. The for­ ward trucks of each car were welded together." Motorman Describe* Wreck. G. A. Schimmel, motorman of the west-bound car, said his car was at a full stop and the east-bound car struck it. "My car was nearing Dune Park when I saw the headlight of No. 59 flashing tn tbe distance. No. 59 was ordered to wait tor my car at Wilson, some distance west of Dune Park. I realized at once that the motorman of the car had overlooked his orders. I put on the brakes and succeeded in bringing my car to a stop. All this ttsae No. 59 was rushing on toward me. I tried to start my car backward, but the air brakes had not released the wheels and 1 could not move iL Then the crash came.*’ Coroner Carson says he probably will not be able to give a decision, or in any way fix the blame for the wreck before Wednesday.

WENGER’S PROGRESS. in discussing the progress of medi­ cal science, one of the leading maga­ zines recently stated—“A few years ago there were a list of from thirty to forty incurable diseases. Today this number has been narrowed down to one and this by leading authorities is considered as doubtful.’’ These words comliRr from some of toe highest authority in the country should be an eye-opener to those who are labor­ ing under toe idea that their partic­ ular disease is incurable when in all probability toe proper medicine will effect a cure. Tbe Van Bysterveld Medicine Co., Ltd. through its expert chemist and physicians have had broad experience In treating diseases of this type, and through their method of urinalysis have effected some most wonderful cures. A. W. Van Bysterveld, tbe chemist with this company, has made a life study of tbe human urine and the effects of disease upon it and can by his analysis of the urine render a diagnosis that is most valuable to the physicians in prescribing proper med­ icines. This manner of locating dis­ eases has proven to be very satis­ factory and enables the physicians of this company to treat the' case with a thorough knowledge of its cause and location. This splendid equip­ ment has been recognized all over tbe country for its remarkable cures and for its business methods, and the price of tbe diagnosis including one week’s medicine has been placed at a low price within the reach of everv sufferer, being 81.00 when urine is brought to the office, or 81.25 when sent by mail. This company has a record of achievements and lo any doubtful person, suggest a talk with any of the large number of patient* already cured, or with those al the Vrowmri waiting rooms who are tak­ ing treatment.

At times I could not stoop or lift and often 1 was so miserable that I was unable to work.

Smith, an old resident of Maple Grove township and recently of this village, died at her home on the South side last Sat­ urday forenoon as the result of a second stroke of apoplexy. She was an invalid for the past twenty-five years, but was a patient sufferer to the last. She leaves a husband, four daughters, one sister and four brothers, and other relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The funeral was held at the home at two o'clock Monday afternoon, Rev. Alfred Way officiating. Interment in Lakeview cemetery. Those from away who attended the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Ed Smith of Grand Rapids and Mrs. Henry Firestone and Mrs. J. Evans of New Berlin, Ohio. There is every reason to look for a better blue ribbon meeting July 26 to 30 than was the great success of 1908 at the state fair grounds. It natur­ ally was supposed that there would be a defection of fair mze with the June payments. On the contrary but two horses were withdrawn. This leaves the stakes larger than they have been in June of any year. Five have Ireen taken out of the M. & M., leaving 18 eligibles, and the likelihood of a field of about 12. which will be sensational. Of the orig! sal 15 in the Chamber of Commerce stake, 13 remain. But one is eliminated from the free-for-all. so there are 12 in it now. The 2:11 trot also has lost one, so that its field now numbers 16. The class races follow the stakes in size, so that the fields in the blue ribbon events next month promise to be among the best bal­ anced the country ever has known, even at the late meetings. NO FREE TOLL SERVICE. That the toll-system is the source of the company’s dividends and that its abolition in Barry county would open the way for other counties to demand like privileges, thereby bring­ ing ruin to tbe Citizens' Telephone company were the arguments made by Manager Tarte, of Grand Ranids, at a meeting of farmers held at Hastings on Saturday afternoon to devise meth­ ods whereby telephone tolls between seven exchanges in the county might be obolisbed. Mr.Tarte stated definitely that even though the movement were carried out and 2,400 rural patrons asked for the proposed free service, it would not be granted. As tbe farmers present did not think the plan feasible after bearing Mr. Tarte’s speech, and refused to take action, a committe of the Carl­ ton-Hastings Co-operative Telephone company, which operates five lines connecting at the local Citizen’s ex­ change, decided to circulate petitions among all telephone patrons in the country, present them to the Citizen's management, and if refused, consider another offer. There are 35 independent rural telephone companies in the county, and the tolls between the exchange aggregate 82,400 annually. CARD OF THANKS.

A special was made up at Jackson to make the run through, arriving here several hours late. The Itfcomotive, which was one of the big Atlantic tyi»e, jumped the track at a switch and for a distance of about 30 rods ran along on lite ties until it forced the rail over and then toppled over on its side on the east-bound track. Besides the tender and engine the train consis ted of two coaches at0 a combination smoker and baggage car. All but the rear car left the rails, but did not upset. Scarcely a person on the train was even slightly injured. This is the most remarkable thing of the whole affair, for the train was running at a high rate of speed. Even-the engineer and fireman, who stayed in the cab until after the engine had upset, were not hurt. A* it toppled over most of the floor of the cab was demolished and one side crushed in. The engineer and fireman, Richard Button and Albert .Frink, both of Detroit, climl>ed out of the cab through the windows. As soon as they got out they walked around and met each other on the track in front of the wrecked engine, both surprised to find the other to have escaped uninjured. There were about 35 or 40 people in utc lLUiu wc.o the WBUUVO. couches. eutuv Some W» of them were slightly bruised. The cause of the accident is not definitely known. BASE BALL. . A game with Lake Odessa is promised for the near future. The team goes to Bellevue on Friday of next week. Bellevue has a strong team this season and the boys will probably get their money’s worth. Next Monday afternoon at Riverside park the home team will meet the Northwesterns of Grand Rapids, Brumm and Nelson will probably be the battery artists for Nashville. and the boys feel that they can win, or at least give a good account of themselves. The directors feel that they prefer to develop home talent to hiring outside players, and while they part with the Scofield boys with regret, as they are both fast players and conscientious workers, it is be­ lieved that we can win with our home players a majority of the games with the teams of the surrounding towns, and it is sure that the Tans will root more loyally and energetically for an all-home team than for a semi-pro team, which is at best an expensive proposition. At a meeting of the directors of the baseball association held at the club rooms Wednesday night, the team was reorganized and from now on only home players will be used, not a man from out of town being on the team. It is believed that we have a team strong enough to cope with the majority of the teams in the vicinity without hiring outside players, and it Lyle’s bride is Rose Miller, the 19__ ________ year-old daughter of a Walker townJlhip farmer. ___ Thejr Their courtship is somesome* what of a romance, for Lyle met her __ ; three ;7.G mUis ago.

KOCHER BROS A VISIT TO THE OLD NOME. u>*k busk In U» lark when nobody could see you, and just have a good, happy, miserable time all by yourself, with nobody to pity or to criticise? That is the way J have often felt about visiting Nashville since moving away twelve years ago. And a few da vs since, I* succumbed to tbe lureonly being a woman, I could not sneak back in the dirk. However. I supposed that it would amount to the same thing, as I doubted that there were a half-dozen in the village who would remember me, and J thought I would be able to wear-my heart full of past experiences on my sleeve' without redognization. When I got off the train, I forgot that I was going to leisurely saunter, but started at a pace that would not be restrained, for the corner where stood the bouse that had been home to me for five years. The flowers bloomed on the lawn under the maples just as they used to do, but as 1 drew near, I saw that the little conservatory had been removed from the porch and the latter widened to the capacity of a comfortable out-of-door sitting-room, and tbe new coat of paint reminded me that Mr. C. A.. Hough had ever been an exemplary landlord. The day was warm and tbe door open and nothing but the law of convention saved the strangers within from a sur­ prising invasion. ' Then I saw a familiar figure ahead of me, and although I am not given to Tunning after other women’s hus­ bands, I quickened my pace and be­ fore I was aware I heard my voice calling (1 am. sure it was without volition on my part,) “Mr. Wilkin­ son”, and.l was frightened. But no one can be frightened long with one hand held in the grasp of the man who had sold me groceries nearly every day for five years and never once had'raised a suspicion of short weight or poor quality. _ t After a few words of recognition and reminiscence, 1 turned the corner, walking north, and every house 1 passed spoke of times gone by. Fin­ ally 1 stood on the bridge, and even the river spoke to me. It told in its low, broad accents of when a friend and I went al early dawn over its treacherous surface punctured with half-hidden stumps and logs, after water lilies for the junior party at our house that evening. That we were not capsized, was probably due to the oarsmanship of Glenn VaoAuker. whom'we had pressed into service and who. two or three hours later, caused us to abandon the boat at the point nearest the school house, that he might make a short cut to that seat of learning and escape chastisement for tardiness. But we got the lilies. The river also spoke of Irving Boston, who gave his life for another while skating with a party of young people one night in the dimming past. And 1 recalled a poem written in. memory of the sad affair by L. Adda Nichols, a copy of which I still have. Arid then I looked away to the long roof under which we had often taken refuge from the hot sun and loyally cheered the high school team, victors or vanquished, on the diamond, and recalled how we ladies would at times forget our alleged dignity and raise our voices to unseemly and dizzy heights in applause that might easily have readied the stay-at-homes across the river । I left the bridge, drawn on by the row of new houses just beyond, which spoke so worthily of Nashville’s thrift and prosperity. But it was not my pleasure to pry into new associa­ tions. but to renew my acquaintance with the old, and J turned to the left. Ahead of’me sat two ladies in neigh­ borly conference on tbe porch, and I idly'wondered if either I had ever known. "BUT'irr t'■drew'near. I was pleased by a look of recognization on the faces of Mrs. Kellogg and Mrs. Hiram Coe, and the latter rose and took me by the hand and warmly in­ sisted on my coming in. and my heart swelled at the hospitality that prompt­ ed her to declare her intention of get­ ting supper for me, and I verily be­ lieve the dear, generous soul would have laid a banquet had 1 permitted it, but I finally did justice to a bow’, of bread and milk with a liberal in­ troduction of cream, and in the mean­ time we talked—oh’, how we talked. After that t>owl of cream and human kindness, my longing was not so much for the scenes and scenery of Nashville as for seeing more of her people, and the short time that was left me before 1 must leave the town, I voluntarily and intentionally stole a few minutes time from each of a half-dozen friends. "Miss DeCoursey”, whom 1 met on the street, and who “knew me by my eyes”, was wreathed in such a matron­ ly grace that I was not at .all sur­ prised when she gave me to under­ stand that Ireland and Germany had crossed hands in an eternal compact, and she is henceforth Mrs. Al. Lentz. A few minutes with Mrs. Allie Slout proved to me that her old school room patience comes admir­ ably to the fore in her-management of her quartet of embryo sovereigns. And Mrs. Drake knew.me by my eyes and 1 threatened to have them blacked. She had never had much time for social functions, but I'll not soon for­ get one morning during our first win­ ter in Nashville, when I was all alone with my baby, who was so sick that we nearly.lost her that day, ‘the door opened and Mrs. Drake came noise­ lessly in because she had heard that my baby was ill. She lost few words In discussing tbe situation^ but went at once out into the e’xinb again to get the doctor and such others whom she thought would be of help to me. That was the day Mrs. Tom Purkey died and with the two cases, Dr. Weaver had his hands full. There are times when pain and pleasure seem to blossom on one bush, so closely do they come together. My next call was on Mrs. Hough, and in our short visit, she confessed to hav­ ing recently told a party of friends about a rat hunt, in which she and I. by tbe aid of a hoe and a broom and ] the pug dog Rastas, came off victor­ ious. with only slight damage to the furniture as we made flying leaps from bed to chair and back again in order to escape from his ratshlp as he made futile attempts to climb up tbe lege.

The state fair has become recogniz­ ed as an auxiliary fa helping to build up the' general agricultural interests of Hve stock and agricultural districts. The incentive of exhibition contest and friendly competition at tbe Michigan State fair, which opens September 2 and continues until September 10. will stimulate and encourage in the mind of Michigan stockmen and agricultpr­ ists, a desire tbe following year to do something better. The fair influence is not confined to one line or one branch of agricultural Industry, but extends to every depart­ ment of home life, farm and industrial enterprise. It Is sufflclenty broad to take in every feature of manufacture and production, even to the educa­ tional accomplishments of the public schools of tbe state. The Michigan State fair has become the great clearing bouse Institution as It were, for the breeder, the fetter, the producer, the scientist, and In fact every branch of Industry to be Intro­ duced to an intelligent and apprecl atlve public. It Is here where the wide-awake producer brings the best, the choicest of his herd, the pick of his product of whatever nature, to teat the merit and its value when placed in comparison with the work and efforts of others. The State Fair is an educational institution and a means of congregating into one tematlcally arranged exhibition, the beet of everything the state has produced. NORTHEAST ASSYRIA.

DOUBT IN THE WOOD1LL ’ CASE. BLAME DEMANDS OF MEN GRANTED Eastman th* Murderer or An Accea*ory, Say Twelve Men After Four Force a Compromise—Victim** Life 'Story Bared.- Barn* Stormed, Mob Attacks Detec­ tive* and Repetition of Homestead Horror* Wa* Feared When End Came Through’’Executive’* Effort*. BL Michaels, Md.. June 29.—With the compromise verdict of the cor­ oner's jury that Robert E. Eastman either killed or was accessory to the murder of Edith May Woodlll and the declaration of State's Attorney Tay­ lor that he wa* through with the case, the strange dual tragedy is a closed, but unexplained incident so far as the authorities are concerned. Four of the 12 jurors who listened to the testimony at tbe reopened in­ quest refused to sign the verdict and the word* "or accessory to the crime” were added to the draft, approved by the majority, which bluntly accused Eastman of the murder. None of the four dissenting jurymen would say that any other person than Eastman ■was responsible for- the woman's death Letter Not in Evidence. Tbe letter left by Eastman for his wife in which he declared that Mrs. Woodlll had been killed by a woman in a jealous frenzy was not read to rthe jury.- The officials seemed to take it for granted that all of the evidence unearthed since the finding of tbe body was well known to the residents of the community and that It was unnecessary that it should again be rehearsed. . The jury sat for a time in a lonely bungalow Itself, within sight of East­ man's unmarked grave not 50 feet away. Mrs. Eastman had visited the place earlier in the day and had stood dry-eyed for a time beside the newmade mound. Theory of the Authorities. The final theory of the authorities is this: That Eastman was in need of money; that he probably bad been getting money from Mrs. Woodlll for some time; that be undoubtedly knew something of her past life and that he had been blackmailing her; that he attempted to continue this practice and that the woman rebelled, intimating that she. too. had found out certain things about Eastman and that if driven to it would expose him. Eastman's dread of serving a term in the penitentiary Is well known. His wife has said that he told her he would rather commit suicide than be confined in prison. The pawning of Mrs. ’Woodill's jewelry the authori­ ties set down to the desire of East­ man to get away. When cornered the man decided that- his race had been run and that he had better make an end to it al). Mr*. Woodlll** Parentage. Robbing Mrs. Woodill's life of the poor glamor of romance which had been attributed to it and upsetting the theories and beliefs of many of the neighbors as to her parentage. Col. Charles II. Thompson, die man who adopted her, admitted that site was an illegitimate child. The offspring of an unlawful union, she came into the world gifted with glittering abil­ ity to fascinate and use'men and ex­ ercised this gift to the limit. In the language of some of the neighbors she was a '•swift one.” W. Scbarb. who for years kept a store near here and conducted the post office, saw the girl frequently. He said; “Edith was a good girl, it Is true that Mrs. Thompson .desired to shine as a social leader and used her as a means of gaining entrance to circles to which she would never have been admitted alone. It Is true Mrs. Thompson taught her to make herself attractive to men, and especially old men. and wheedled large sums out of them under one pretext or another with which they both traveled and bad a good time. "There was one peculiar thing about Edith—she never had any girl friends. Never have 1 known her to have a girl chum. It was always men—chief­ ly old men.” Pittsburg, Pa, June 28.—The street railway strike, which cost the city of Pittsburg more than- >200,000 in two days, was officially declared to be at an end at 10:30 o'clock to-night. In the private office of Mayor Wil­ liam A. Magee articles were signed by officials of the Pittsburg Railways Company and an executive committee from the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway employes which will for years to come prevent another tie up of the 400 miles of street railway tracks in ’ and about Greater Pittsburg and Allegheny county. Only Two Point* to Settle. The strike, it developed, was the outcome of but two points of differ­ ence between the car company and the motormen and conductors, one be­ ing the alleged neglect upon -the part of the car company to shorten "swing runs,” and the other of the refusal of these railway officials to reinstate dis­ charged men without proper hearing. With slight modifications an agree­ ment allowing discharged men proper hearings before superintendents and the assurance of the car company that the secretary will shorten "swing runs" 60 per cent, was drawn up and signed. Greater Pittsburg's first street railway tie-up was thereby effectively voided. Rioting Had Begun. The strike already bore signs of bloody results, and repetition of the terrible Homestead strike scenes were feared. Riots had broken out la more than one car barn to-day. At two places shots were fired between offi­ cers of the city and county and what are alleged to have been union sympa­ thizers. Two county detectives missed death by a narrow margin when a crowd ot persons around the Rankin street car bams set upon. 14 strike-breakers. The officers attempted to pacify the fighting men. The crowd devoted at­ tention to the officers and after beat­ ing them unmercifully dragged them to a high bridge over a ravine near the car barns and threatened to throw them over the rail if they refused to promise to keep out of the clashes be­ tween the strike-breakers and the friends of the strikers. The timely arrival of the police saved the officers from probable death. Rioting also reached the down-town section. La Crosse Strike Settled. La Crosse, Wis., June 29.—After having been settled nnce and then repudiated by the men, the street rail­ way strike was finally and positively settled yesterday afternoon. ^The meu gain all points, except that the com­ pany is to operate an open shop. Church Service* Affected. At many of the churches yesday services were dispensed with.' Rev. Dr. A. Fisher of the Wylie avenue Baptist church, an aristocratic congregation in the Herron Hill dis­ trict. made reference to the strike sit­ uation at his morning worship, how­ ever. In the words following: “If these men. both union and offi­ cial, had loved each other as Christ taught, this strike which now engulfs this city would never have occurred. I believe these poor striking motor­ men and conductors are only asking what these wealthy street railway op­ erators could have granted without straining a point. I pray God “that no violence may attend this labor strug­ gle as marked Pittsburg by a trail of blood during those unforgettable days of the Homestead strikes."

The value of this urinalysis or analysis of the urine is based upon the discovery that the kidneys are the toll tale or­ gans of the body, the urine being quick to show the effects of diseases. The VanBysterveld Medicine Co., Ltd. in using this method quickly discovered its value and today hate through their doctors built up a most wonderful record of cures. A. W.

The success of this company is due to their up-to-date methods and a talk with any of their patients con­ vinces the most sceptical persons of its value.

The masquerader ventured a mysttcal smile at the world tn general. One pictured the evening when the Infatuated detective should find it con­ venient to drop in on the exclusive Mr. Maitland. . "Mr. Anisty r CHAPTER VII. Illumination. In a breath was self-satisfaction banished; simultaneously the masque­ rader brought bls gaze down from the celling, his thoughts to earth, his vigi­ lance to the surface, and himself to his feet, summoning to his aid all that he possessed of resource and expedient. Trapped!—the word blazed Incan­ descent in his brain.' So long bad he foreseen and planned against this very moment. Yet panic swayed him for but a lit­ tle instant; as swiftly as it had over­ come him it subsided, leaving him ahockeflt a shade more pale, but rapid­ ly reasserting control of his faculties. And with this shade of emotion came complete reassurance. His name had been uttered In no ■tern or menacing tone; rather its syllables had been pitched in a low and guarded key, with an undernote of raillery and cordiality. In brief, the moment that he recognized the voice alluded in the .beginning of their con­ versation. Well and good; once before, within the past two hours, he had told him­ ।self that he was Good-enough Mait­ Iland. He was be even better now.

She flashed a radiant smile at h^n from beneath the rim of her pic­ ture hat. A fire was kindled In Anlsty's eyes; he was conscious cf a quickened drum­ ming of his pulses. "Dan is Maitland's front name. also," he remarked, absently. "I thought as much/' she responded, quietly speculative. The burglar hardly heard. It has been indicated that he was quick­ witted, because be had to be. in the very nature of his avocation. Just now his brain was working rather more rapidly than usual, even; which was one reason why the light bad leaped into his eyes. It was very plain—to a deductive reasoner—from the girl's attitude to­ ward him that she had fallen into re­ lations of uncommon friendliness with this Maitland, young aa Anisty be­ lieved their acquaintance to be. There had plainly been a flirtation—where­ in lay the explanation of Maitland’s forbearance; he had been fascinated by the woman, had not hesitated to take Anlsty’s name (even aa Anisty was then taking his) in order to pro­ long their intimacy. Bo much the better. . Turn about was still fair play. Maitland had sown as Anisty; the real Anisty would reap the harvest.. Pretty women interested him deeply, though he saw little enough of them, partly through motives of prudence, partly because of a refine­ ment of taste; women of the class of this conqueat-by-proxy were out of reach of the enemy of society. That is, under ordinary circumstances. Thia one. on the contrary, was not; what­ ever she was or had been, however successful a crackswoman she might be, her cultivation and breeding were as apparent as her beauty > and quite as attractive.

Anisty himself could take up where Maitland had left off. Easily enough. The difficulties were insignificant; he had only to play up to MalUand’s standard for a while, to be Maitland with all that gentleman's advantages, educational and social, then gradually drop back to hla own level and be himself.

We wonder how many of the pupils in our public schools, when given a question In mental arithmetic merely memorize it; and whether they could solve It If apples were substituted for potatoes. Ex-Gov. Hoard told us a funny story last year about one of his own grandchildren who had failed on a simple question In mental arith­ metic, saye Editor Wallace, In Wal­ laces* Farmer. Upon his expressing great surprise the youngster replied: "If you had given me that in potatoes instead of in apples 1 could have done It!" We wonder bow many teachers in rural schools frame questions of their own on farm lines, so aa to compel the pupil to work them out by the rules that should be applied to those in the book. We have a very vivid recollection of being caught up that way ourselves one time to our very great humiliation, and the only excuse we had to offer(was: "That question was not in the book.” The answer that made our ears burn was: “What is the use of studying sums in the book if they don't teach you to do sums outside of the book?" As an example of the questions which any teacher may frame, and tho solution of which would compel pupils to think along farm lines, we quote the following from an instruction bulletin given out by the Pennsylvania Agri­ cultural college: “1. If six pecks of wheat are sown on one acre, how much seed, wheat will be required for a field 40 rods long and 25 rods wide? “2. If 16.four-inch tile are required for a rod, how many tile will be need­ ed for a ditch a mile and a quarter long? "3. The wagon and wheat weigh 5,530 pounds. The wagon alone weighs 1,300 pounds, What la the wheat worth st 88 cents per bushel? "4. A row of corn shocks takes up a space twice the width of the space between two rows of corn. The length of the space Is 40 rods. How much ground is occupied by the shock row? ”5. There are 210 rows of corn on the long side of a field and 120 on the short side. What will the cutting cost at five cents for each shock ten hills square? "6. At $28 per ton for commercial fertilizer, what will It cost to fertilize a field 40 by 60 rods if 250 pounds are used on each acre? “7. One-haK ton of lime per acre was sowed on a field 35 rods long and 24 rods wide. How many tons of lime were used? “8. It costs 1|4 cents per bushel for threshing oats and 2% cents for wheat. What will the threshing of 1,850 bushels of oats and 280 bushels of wheat cost? “9. A field is a half mile long and a quarter of a mile wide; if 2% acres are plowed each day, how many days will be required to plow it? ”10. A man hauls at one trip 1,980 pounds of milk/to a cremery. What docs he receive at 15 cents per hun­ dred ?" • Questions In connection with farm business come up day by day. What more profitable amusement could there be in the evening than for the father to have t^e boys and girls fig­ ure them out for him? His experi­ ence will be different from ours if the farmer does not say: "Tut, tut! Is that all you can do in the way of fig­ ures?

CARE OF WORK HORSES. How They Should Be Fed During the Slack Season. _ , With the conclusion of the genera! farm work in the fall, comes a season of leisure for the work horses. Of course grain, potatoes and other prod­ ucts must be hauled to market, but there are weeks at a time when the horses are not worked. At such times some farmers keep them in the stables day after day without exercise, except the little they get when being led to the watering tfough. Some even water their horses in-the stables, and of course they have to pass their time In Ill-ventilated quarters. Under such conditions, Is it any wonder that the old animals become stiff and sore and the young ones propel like a fly­ ing machine when hitched? There are others who In order to “take the life out of ’em” feed very little If any oats or other grain and sustain the hones on poor hay. When spring arrives, even hones In their prime cannot do an average day's work without sweating badly and be­ coming greatlj- fatigued. As to old animals wintered under such condition*, they are about “done up” until spring pastures revive them again. Now don't think that it Is econom­ ical to feed hones poorly during win­ ter. says the Farmen’ Review. If they become run down they must be "brought up" again. It takes more feed to get run-down torses Into proper flesh and working condition again than it would have required to keep them thus. What Is to-be done when one has on work for the faithful animals in winter? Well, I can tell how we man­ age our work horses; and. of coune, I consider our ways just a little bet­ ter than other farmers' (?). We feed timothy hay once a day, and twice a day marsh hay of good quality and a fair allowance of oats. Some time in the forenoon they are led to drink. About one o'clock In the afternoon they are given their free­ dom to run and ex - rcise at will. If the ground Is not covered with snow too much, they will graze till even­ ing!

Espe­ cially so towards spring; and the legs should not be neglected. If a horse Is so tender as to object to the use of a curry comb on the legs and other parts, a corn cob can be used.

Maurer UP-TO-DATE DRY GOODS STORE �IICHIGAN WRIGHT MACHINE DAMAGED IS AFTER SADLY MAKING THRILLING FLIGHTS. IT COLLIDES WITH A TREE Motor Stops Ovsr Spot Whsrs Beri- ous Accident Occu temb*r and Craft Escapes Injury—Delay for Tests. Washington, July 2.— Resembling giant bird swooping down upon its prey, the Wright aeroplane, after the motor which propets it had come sud­ denly to a. standstill, gilded gracefully to earth thia afternoon after having made two successful flights. The machine was on .its way around the Fort Myer drill grounds for the ninth time hi its second flight when ihe motor stopped. 60 feet above the earth and exactly tn the same place ' where the propeller blade broke last September which resulted in tbe fatal accident that terminated the trials at that time. In gliding to the earth the machine struck a tree and was swerved around with such force that the skids were broken and the right wing badly ripped. Mr. Wright was not hurt. NO STOCKS, KO NO NERVOUS BREAK Most Successful of Flights. The two flights were the moat suocaasful that Orville Wright has made at Fort Myer since his return to com­ plete the government trials. On the first attempt he flew about the field 12 times in 11 minutes and 50 seconds, and on the second trial he had gone around 8H times when the flight was terminated by a mishap. He had been in the air for a little more than eight minutes. During both flights Mr. Wright went higher and faster than in the trials of the two previous days. It was estimated that his speed was about 37 miles an hour on an average, although the machine probably ex­ ceeded 40 miles when flying with tbe light breeze blowing from the south. The glide, which covered a distance of perhaps 300 feet, was beautiful to behold, but thdre were few In the • crowd of a thousand or more specta­ tors who. did not fear, for a moment, that they were about to witness a repetition of last year's accident Orvilie and Wilbur inspected the ma­ chine closely to see what caused the motor to stop. They did not announce the result- of their investigation, but said that the aeroplane would not be ready for air flight before Tuesday at the earliest, because it would be nec­ essary to send to their Dayton shop for. cloth with which to repair the damage to the planes. , Wilbur Explains Accident. "My motor stopped just as I was over the aeroplane shed," said Orville Wright, after the machine had been returned to the shed. “When you arc over bushes and trees you can’t ’see their height and it was due to a mis­ calculation on my part that the wing bit the tree and swung the machine around, causing it to land sidewise on the skids. If it hadn’t been for the tree I would have landed safely. It was too bad tbe accident has hap­ pened, because the machine was go­ * ing fine. It was making better speed than Thursday and more than the ma­ chine that I used last year. 1 should judge the machine was going over forty miles an hour at certain times." The. motor on the aeroplane had been missing explosions for some time before it finally stopped. Otherwise the machine had acted much better than on its previous tests. In his flights yesterday Wright cir­ cled the grounds a score of times with­ out mishap, attaining a speed esti• mated at 38 miles an hour. WED BY WIRELESS IN AIR.

FASTEST HORSE IN THE WORLD. Dan Patch Will Rac* Minor H*lr to Beat the World'* Record. Horae lovers and all followers of the racing game will be given an un­ usual treat at the. Michigan State Fair Sept. 2-10 when they see Dan Patch (1:56) and Minor HeM“(l:59H) fight It out for tho world‘s’.championshlp honors. M. W. Savage, who for several years ha* been the owner of Dan Patch, recently purchased Minor Heir for $45,000 and has consented to let these two world’* fastest harnes* horses appear in a series of races. True to hl* first love, Mr. Savage Insists that as long aa Dan Patch stays right he will be able to defend the championship against all comers, even against the fleet son of Helr-atMr. Savage has given orders that both horses be trained to the minute and that when they go their race ex­ hibitions each shall be driven to hla limit so that there will be an honest test of speed, gameness and stamina. There are some horsemen who be­ lieve that Minor Heir will develope as great. If not greater, speed than Dan Patch. He was a green pacer last year, and as such gave some of the most wonderful performances on record. He has a terrific flight of speed, and if under the scientific care of Harry Hersey, he can be fitted'so as to hold his lick for a mile, he will give Dan Patch all he can do. From present Indications it is evi­ dent that the Michigan State Fair never had so popular a drawing card as th* scheduled race between these two world’* champion*. Thousands of people will go to De­ troit for the opportunity merely to see these two champion horses go In ono of the greatest races In the his­ tory of tbe world. While discussing the two horses a short time ago Mr. Henry C. Hersey, superintendent of Mr. 'Savage's and famous as the trainer and of Dan Patch, had the following “I am now working Dan and Minor Heir twice a week. Tuesday* and Friday*. I am repeating them now. giving each the last mile around 2:35. I will continue in this way until I begin working each horse four heats on Tuesdays and Fridays. On Mon­ days. Wednesday* and Thursdays and Saturday* the horses are now jogged about four or five miles, and I will continue this 'after the more severe work is in progress. “My plan Is gradually to work them up to faster miles and to keep them as big and strong as possible. Dan Patch now weighs 1.100 and will work down to about 1,075 pounds, when he is fit for great miles. His rival now tips the scales at 1,020 pounds and will weigh In close to 1,000 pounds when he is ready. I want to keep them both as big aS I can and still have them hard and not fat inside. :I am slowly working __ , off the surplus fat. changing It into muscle. “At present I am giving Minor Heir a little more jogging and a trifle stiffer work than the champion. He needs to develop® more staying qnallties. The physical condition of each horse seems perfect. They have plenty of lick and are feeling almost too good. Dan never looked better at this time of the year." MAKES A FINE SHOWING. Michigan State Fair One of the Na­ tion’* Bast.

The patient finds • in his or her search for red-blooded vitality and power that there is almost no disease without a cure, and no cure blit what, can be effected quickly if treatment starts when it should. "The habit of waiting until a disease has obtained a firm foot-hold has passed a war and today intelligent people recognize the need of good medical treatment when the disease is young, not only from an expense standpoint but also from one of perfect health for the future. The methods of the VanBysterveld Medicine Co., Ltd. are strictly in keeping with thia demand for a quick restoration of health, and in sur­ rounding themselves with the ablest of chemists and physicians are enabled to render great aid to suffering humanity. In using the system of urinalysis for determining the cause and location of disease this company relies upon the leading chemist of the day, A. W. VanBysterveld, who has made a life study of the human urine and in making analysis of thousands of samples has tbe advantage of a most wonderful experience. Tbe physicians of this company are also chosen for their knowledge of medi­ cines apd disease* and after getting the diagnosis are able to prescribe treatment that quickly has its effect upon both the cause and the condition of the ailment. To know what k> do and bow to do it and to be able to do this without even seeing a patient is proof of the thoroughness of this method, and the remarkable cures al­ ready wrought have created a host of people only too willing to vouch for lhe splendid benefit* obtained.

The ball game which our boys were to have played at Bellevue Tuesday was cancelled by Bellevue, who claimed that they were unable to get their team together, on account of so many of them being busy in harvest­ ing and haying.-We’ll bet that when they come over here next Tuesday they won’t show like a bunch of haymak­ ers. They have been playing a re­ markably fast game this season and will make the local bunch hurry to take care of them. One of our young men came near Ktting into serious trouble last week borrowing money of one of our merchants and representing that be had money in the bank with which u> repw him the next morning.

It was clearly to be seen that her regard for him had waxed rather than waned as a result of their conversation. One had but to look Into her eyes to be reassured as to that. One did.look, breathing heavily. . . . What an Ingenuous child It was, to show him her heart so freely! He wondered that this should be so. feeling it none the lew a just and graceful tribute to his fascinations.. She repeated her arch query. She was sure he wanted to smoke. Indent! he did—if she would permit? And forthwith Maitland's cigarette case was produced, with a flourish. “What a beautiful case!" In an instant it was in her hands. "Beautiful!" she iterated. Inspecting the delicate tracery of the monogram engraver's art—bead bended forward, face shaded by the broad-brimmed hat. “You like it? You would care to own it?" Anisty demanded, unsteadily. *1?" The inflection of doubtful *urprise was a delight to the ear. "Oh! ... I couldn’t think of accepting. . . . Besides, I have no use for it." “Of course you ain’t—are not that sort." An hour back he could have kicked himself for the grammatical blunder; now he was wholly llluded; besides, she didn't seem to notice. “But as a little token—between us—" She drew back, pushing the case across the cloth; "1 couldn't dream—” ' "But If I insist—r “If you Insist? . . . Why. I sup­ pose . ’. . it’s awfully good of you." She flashed him a maddening #glance. * “You do me pro—honor," he amend­ ed, hastily. Then, daringly: “I don’t ask much tn exchange, only—’’ "A cigarette?” she suggested, hastily. He laughed, pleased and diverted. ^That'll be enough now—if you'll light It for me." She glanced dubiously round the noty almost deserted room; and a waiter started forward as if animated by a spring. Anisty motioned him imperi­ ously back. "Go on." he coovd; “no one can see.” And watched, flattered, the slim white fingers that extracted a match from the stand and drew it swiftly down the prepared surface of the box, holding the flickering flame to the end of a white tube whose tip lay between lips curved, scarlet, and pouting. "There!" A pale wraith of smoke floated away on the fan-churned air, and Anisty was vaguely conscious of receiving the -glowing cigarette from a hand whose sheer perfection was but enhanced by the ripe curves of a rounded forearm. . . . He Inhaled deeply, with satisfaction. Undetected by him, the girl swiftly npssed a furtive handkerchief across her lips. When he looked again she was smiling and the golden case bad disappeared. She shook her head at him In mock reproval. “Bold man!” she culled him; but the ersdity of it was lose upon him, as she had believed it would be. Tbe moment had come for vigorous measurea, she felt, guile having paved the “Why do you call me that?" “To appear so openly running the gauntlet of the detectives." "Eh?"—startled. “Of course you saw," she insisted. “Saw? No. Saw what?*' “Why. . . . perhaps 1 am mis­ taken. but I thought you knew and trusted to your likeness to Mr. Mait­ land.*' Anisty frowned, collecting himself, bewildered. "What are you driving at, anyhow?" be demanded, roughly. "Didn't you see the detectives? I should have thought your man would have warned you. I noticed four loiv Ing round the entrance, as I came In, and feared—*’ "Why didn’t you tell me, then?*’ *1 have just told you the reason. I supposed you were in your disguise." "That’s so." The alarmed expres­ sion gradually faded, although he re­ mained troubled. "I sure am Maitland to the life," he continued with satis­ faction. "Even the head-waiter—" "And of course,*’ she Insinuated, deli* cately, “you have disposed of the toot?" He shook his head gloomily. "No time, as yet." was evident “You don’t *'In my pocket." “Oh!"

"Dan!" “I—I beg your pardon. But . . . what am 1 to do? You are sure—?" "McClusky himself Ison the nearest corner!"

"Last night, Daa"y8he raised her glorious eyes to bls—"last night, I . . I trusted you. "Didn’t You See the Detectives?" His face hardened ever so sllgntiy; yet when he took thought the tense lines about his eyes and mouth soft­ ened. And she drew a deep breath, knowing that she bad all but won. "I trusted you," she continued soft­ ly "Do you know what that means? I trusted you." He nodded, eyes to hers, fascinated, with an odd commingling of f«ar and hope and satisfied self-love. "Now I am unconnected with the affair. No one knows that I had any hand in it. Besides, no one knows me—that I— steal." Her tone fell lower. "The po­ lice have never heard of me. Dan!” ”1—believe—’’ "I could get away," she interrupted; "and then. If they stopped you—” "You're right, by the powers!” He struck the table smartly with his first. “Yon do that and we can carry this through. Why; lacking the jewels, I am Maitland—I am even wearing Mait­ land's clothes!" he boasted. "I went to his apartments this morning and saw to that, because it suited my pur­ pose to be Maitland for a ‘day or two." "Thon—?" Her gaxe questioned his. "Walter!" cried Anisty. And, when the man was deferential at his elbow: •'Call a cab, at once, please." "Certainly, sir." The rest of the corps of servants were at the other end of the big room. Anisty made certain that they were not watching, then stealthily passed the canvas bag to the girt. She bent her head, bestowing it in her hand-bag. "You have made me . . . happy, Dan." came tremulously from beneath the hat brim. Whatever doubts may have assailed him when it was too late, by that re­ mark were effaced, silenced. Who could mistrust her sincerity ? “Then when and where may I see you again?” be demanded. “The same place." It was a bold move; but she was standing; the waiter was back, an­ nouncing the cab In waiting, and he dared not protesL Yet his pat riposte commanded her admiration. "No. Too risky. If they are watch­ ing here, they may be there, too.” He shook his head decidedly. The flicker of doubt was again extinguished; for undoubtedly Maitland had escorted her home that morning; her reference had been to that place.

For Maitland, despite' his suffering, had found time to figure it out to his personal satisfaction—or dissatisfac­ tion, if you prefer—In the interval be­ tween his return to consciousness and the arrival of O'Hagan. It was simple enough to deduce from tbe knowledge .in his possession that the burglar, hav­ ing contrived his escape through the disobedience of Higgins, should have engineered this complete revenge for the indignity Maitland bad put upon him And the Hearts that MaKe Them.

There are five essential points that should be observed in the selection of cows for the development pt a dairy herd from common stock. First look for a cow with a large, long and ca­ pacious barrel^ open and rather widely spaced In the ribs, which should spring well downward. Second, look for evi­ dences of refinement as seen tn a head Inclining to long, a neck long and slim, crops somewhat sharp, and limbs In­ clining toJ fine. Third, look for the present evidences of good milk-giving capacity. Fourth, look for evidences of stamina as indicated by good width through the lower part of the chest, by an active carriage and a bright full eye. Fifth, prefer the cow that has a nice, soft-handling hide and silky coat. Choose sires from that dairy breed which may be preferred, suggests the Farmers’ Voice. The straight dairy breeds that stand In the front tn this country are the Holstein, Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey, named probably In order of relative size. The Dutch belted cattle, not very numerous, are much like the Holstein. The choice being made, don’t change the breed ’ from which the sire is chosen, and ex­ ercise great care in choosing. The individual points of a good dairy sire cannot be given in- detail here, but two of these will be men­ tioned, because they are in a senye in­ dispensable. The first is the evidences of much stamina and bodily vigor. The second le an amplitude of soft skin on the under line in front of the testicles, distinctly traceable milk veins and miniature teats of good size and wide spacing. The performance of the ancestry of the bull should be' examined. The .more good performers In the upward line of his ancestry, the better. Good performance on the part of ancestral dams means the giving of large quanti­ ties of milk, rich In quality and perslstence'ln milk giving for a long period. The successive sires should be chosen from the same breed. If I chosen from another breed disturbing factors are chosen. This may not be apparent at the first, but it will be later. By adhering to the same line of breeding, the improvement should be rapid and continuous, at least for several generations, but the Improve­ ment will be less noticeable with each succeeding generation. No matter what the line of breeding, where a high standard is dairy quali­ ties Is to be reached and maintained, there must be culling and discarding with every generation. Evidences of physical inferiority are sometimes so apparent at birth that the decision to discard such specimens may be made forthwith. As soon as it is known that the animals fall beUw the standard, the eye should not pity nor the band spare. Every man will, of course, set his own standard. If he falls to set a standard he is not likely to reach high attainment in his work. Breeds differ In their capacity to produce milk, hence high grades of these will also differ. With no breed of dairy cattle or their grades, however, should the | 1 1 standard be set at less than 6,000 pounds of milk a year.

Invest in Timber A VISIBLE INCREASING SECURITY 20% Earnings THE MICHIGAN PACIFIC LUMBER COMPANY Commenced operation* April 1st, and reports are received from the Camp regularly. Logs are now being delivered ta the mill* at the rate of 150,000 feet daily at a profit of $6.00 per thousand feet; $900 per day, or $300,000 per year. These are facts, not estimates. The Company will market 300,000 feet daily next year—figure for yourself what the profit* will be. At this rate it would take twenty-five yean to cut the timber. -----d If you. are interested in learning how money is made from operation in Timber, write u* for copies of the report* as thJy come from Camp. THE FARM STOCK. The supply of good horses Is not now equal to the demand. Breed with some definite end , In view, and never cross after you start for that end. Use pure breeds. Fatten the undesirable sheep and turn them into money. This applies to other stock also. It is best to have small separate stalls for each calf. When, two or more are together they often get Iff" the habit of sucking one another's ears and other- parts of the body which Is an Injurious habit There Is a strong and growing sen­ timent against stored eggs. Let it grow! Fresh eggs are the only eggs fit to be used. When stored eggs go. there will be room for a million more of bens on tbe farms of this country. Speed the day! Scours. Scours are caused by overfedlng, Irregular feeding, cold milk, and un­ clean palls. When a case of scours occurs, at once reduce the amount of feed and mix with the warm milk a f~«h egg. Keep the sick animal quiet, dry and warm. PROPERTY BO square miles— 2,080,000,000 feet of Timber­ On tide water-30 miles from market— Value today as standing Timber *2,000,000.

Spokane, Wash., July 12.—Discuss­ ing the tremendous advantages to a preacher of being a scientific "spark­ er," Bishop William A. Quayle, for­ merly of Chicago, said in the course of his address gt the First Methodist church^ of Spokane that any pastor who does not know how to “spark" ought to be ashamed of himself. "And,” he added, “there is no use of ‘sparking* a woman unless you are holding her hand. I can not explain why this hi so, but I do know that it has to be done, for I have been there myself.” Judging from the prolonged ap­ plause and the repeated nods of ap­ proval by tbe listeners tn the amen corner following this remark. It Is taken that the Chicagoan has started something right here in sunny Spo­ kane. Here are a few sentences: “A foe of the home Is always de­ structive of good order, civilization and decency. “Slums are wherever deviltry is. I have seen slums in boulevards and in the home of millionaires. "The solitary thing that keeps the world decent is the home. Abolish it and the world will go to the devil. “Marrying is the greatest thing in the world, but from its very common­ ness we do not appreciate tbe fact "Any one who slurs a woman’s love insults tbe race.

Witnesses related conversa­ tions with him on music, dogs, cigars, literature, electricity, geology, prison life, sport, religion and the personality of the late pofle, Leo XIII. A watch­ man learned from Thaw that the Stone Age should be placed some 500 years back. An inn-keeper thought Thaw perfectly sane except that on one occasion be refused tbe witness* invitation to take a drink with him. He admitted under cross-examination that he had known rational persons to decline a drink. PREDICT BIG CORN CROP. Government Figures Place 1909 Yield Close to 3X100,000,000 Bushels— Increase In Acreage. Washington, July 12.—The Ameri­ can corn crop for 1909 promises to smash all previous records. It Is pos­ sible that the crop will exceed 3,000,­ 000.000 bushels. According to the figures printed In the department of agriculture report of the crop conditions July 1 tbe farmers have now 109.006,000 acres planted in corn. This is an Increase over the 1908 acreage of 7.218,000, or 7.1 per cent It would require only a fraction of one per cent of improve­ ment to boost the yield past the 3.000,000,000 mark. With the preeent prices of corn as shown on the New York and Chicago exchanges the total amount of the crop will probably ap­ proximate 32.250,000.000. Choos* Your Company Wisely.

An expert’s oninion and advice is worth considerable to a sick person, but there are times when the sick per­ son cannot get to the expert, nor afford to have ap expert come to him or her. A diagnosis of your disease by analyzing the urine does away with this inconvenience as it can be done without even seeing the patient for the kidneys are quick to show in the urine the cause and conditions of any diseased part of the body. This wonderful method is used bv the chemist and physicians employed by the VanBysterveld Medicine Co., Ltd. and its success has been most phenominal. The success of the diagnosis rests upon A. W. VanBysterveld, who is known as one of the best chemists in this eountrv. His whole life has been devoted to the study and analy­ sis of the human urine, and his prac­ tical experience in analyzing thous­ ands of samples of urine has made him famous for his accuracy. The physicians of this company have a thorough knowledge of diseases and methods of treatment which enables them to render great aid to the patient after receiving his diagnosis. Because of tbe value of this method to tl» public, and from a desire to do all the good possible the price of this expert treatment has been placed at a price so low that ’none are barred, rhe price of tbe diagnosis including one week’s medicine is 31.00 when urine is brought to the office and 31.25 when sent bv mail. Tbe successful treating of thousands of oases in all parte of the i^qnlry has proven that the dhiMec is no Obstacle to sucoessful treatmen*, and no matter where you way live you can get the benefits of high class experts.

Most other State Fairs are owned by tbe commonwealths In which they are located, but every effort to turn this over to the state has failed. Mich­ igan should support the State Fair and help to upbuild It. The Minne­ sota and Iowa state legislatures have appropriated large sums for new equipment and the state of Michigan should do the same. This fair is pure­ ly a state institution and should have the support of every person In both the upper and lower peninsulas. OBITUARY.

The north side was lined with five-story fiat buildings, their dingy-red brick facades regularly broken by equally dingy brownstone stoops, as to the ground floor, by open windows as to those above. The south side was mostly taken up by a tow­ Coughing Spells ering white apartment hotel with an ostentatious entrance; against one of whose polished stone pillars the short and thick-set man was lounging. The sidewalks, north and south, swarmed with children of assorted ages, playing with the ferocious en­ ergy characteristic of the young of Harlem; their blood-curdling cries and premature Fourth-of-July firsworks created an appalling din, to which, however, the more mature denls-ena found beyond the Harlem river and along the Speedway. A few blocks to tbe west Cathedral heights bulked like a great wall, wrapped In purple shad­ ows, tta jagged contour stark against an evening sky of suave old rose. The short and thick-set body, how­ ever, seemed to have no particular ap­ preciation of the beauties of nature as exhibited by West Ono Hundred and Eighteenth street on a summer's even­ ing. If anything, he could apparently have desired a cooling breeze; for. after a moment’s doubtful considera­ tion. he unbuttoned his waistcoat and heaved a sigh of relief. Then, carefully shifting the butt of a dead cigar from one corner of his mouth to. the other, where it was al­ most hidden by the jutting thatch of his black mustache, and drawing down over his eyes the brim of a rusty plug hat, he thrust fat bands into the pock­ ets of his shabby trousers and lounged against the polished pillar even more energetically than before, If that were possible^ An unromantlc, apathetic figure, fitting so naturally into bls sur­ roundings as to demand no second look even from tbe most observant; yet one seeming to possess a magnetic attrac­ tion for the eyes of the hallboy of the apartment hotel (who, acquainted by sight and hearsay with the stout gen­ tleman's Identity and calling, bent upon him a steadfast and adoring re­ gard). as well as for the policeman who lorded it on the St. Nlcholaf ave­ nue corner. In front of the real estate office, and who from time to time shifted his contemplation from the In­ finite spaces of the heavens, the better to exchange a furtive nod with the Idler In the hotel doorway. Presently—at no great lapse of time after the short and thlck-eet man had stowed away bls watch—out of the thronged sidewalks of Seventh avenue a man appeared, walking west on. the north side of the street and reviewing carelessly the numbers on the illumin­ ated fanlights; a tall man. dressed all -in gray, and swinging a thin walking stick. The short thick-set person assumed a mien of more intense abstraction than ever. The tall man in gray paused Indefi­ nitely before the brownstone stoop of the house numbered 205. then swung up the steps and into the vestibule. Here he halted, bending over to scru­ tinise tbe names on the letter boxes. The short, thick-set man reluctantly detached himself from his polished pillar and waddled ungracefully across the street. The policeman on the corner seemed suddenly interested in Seventh ave­ nue. and walked in that direction. The gray man. having vainly de­ ciphered all the names on one side of the vestibule, straightened up and turned his attention to the opposite wall, either unconscious of or indif­ ferent to the shuffle of feet on the stoop behind him. The short, thick-set man removed one hand from a pocket and tapped the gray man gently on the shoulder. "Lookin’ for McCabe, Anlsty?" he Inquired, genially.. The gray man turned slowly, exhib­ iting a countenance blank with aston­ ishment. "Beg pardon?" he drawled; and then, with a dawning gleam of recognition in his eyes: "Why, good evening. Hickey! What brings you up this way?" The short, thick-set man permitted his jaw to droop and his eyei to pro­ trude for some seconds. "Oh.” he said In a tone of great disgust, "hell!” He pulled himself together with an effort. "Excuse me, Mr. Maitland,” he stammered, "I wasn't lookin' for yeh." “To the contrary. I gather from your greeting you were expecting our friend. Mr. Anlsty?" And the gray man smiled. Hickey smiled In sympathy, but with less evident relish of the situation's humor. "That's right," he admitted. “Got a tip from the c’mlss'ner's office this evening that An’sty would be here at seven o'clock lookin’ for a party named McCabe. I guess it’s a bum tip. all right; but of course I got to look into IL” “Most assuredly.” The gray man bent and inspected the names again. “I am hunting up an old friend." he explained, carelessly; "a man named Simmons—knew him in'college—down on his luck—wrote me yesterday. There he is: Fourth floor, east Hl see you when I come down, I hope, Mr. Hickey.” The automatic lock clicked and, the door swung open; the gray man pass­ ing through and up the stairs. Hickey, ostentatiously ignoring the existence of the policeman, returned to his post of observation. At eight o'clock he was still there, looking bored. At 8:30 he was still there, wearing a puzzled expression.

While we haye given space to the explanation of the matter be­ fore, the following remarks by Prof. A. D.

The results of nitrogen are seen at once In the greener and more abun­ dant leaf; it makes tbe whole plant go ahead, and the farmer is apt to think more of nitrogen than of phos­ phorus and potash because he may have to wait till harvest and actually weigh tbe product to see their results. Nitrogen increases tbe vegative parts of the plant and an excess of it tends to make the plant go or growing too long and _ defers the production of flower and seed; It puts off the ripen­ ing. Excessive nitrogen has doubled the amount of wheat straw, but re­ duced the per cenL of wheat grain from 62 down to 48 per cent The more nitrogen In the soil the more wa­ ter and less siigar in the beet An excess of nitrogen mikes the plant more susceptible to disease, es­ pecially fungus disease. Mangolds, at Rothamsted, are swept every year with fungus diseases, while three feet away are perfectly sound, healthful beets. The Infection Is alike in both places, but it "takas" only on the plots having an excess of. nitrogen. The diseased plants are seen torn, shriveled and rotten. Wheat fields get rusty and weeds are mildewed on high nitrogen land. Phosphoric acid applied to the soil' hurries on the production of flowers and seed, the ripening of the grain.

It seemed from the evidence that the con­ ductor gave orders to the fireman to side track at Shultz, but for some reason the train, started bn. Some seem to blame the agent at Delton, but it seern’B that while he forgot to deliver the order at Delton, he did telephone on to Shultz and delivered the order there and-that it must have been some misunderstanding on the part of the fireman, for several wit­ nesses testified that they heard the conductor deliver the order to the fireman. The conductor got on the rear end of the train and jumped off ut the switch and turned it and when he saw that the train was going on, he rah after it and signaled it to stop. The signal from him was Keen by some of the passengers, who notified one of The t»*ain men, who tried to stop the train, but was unable to do so in time. • K ALAMO.

She stooped, with a low exclamation, and straightened up. a small bunch of kwya tn her hand; eight or ten of them dangling from a silver ring; Maitland ’• keys. He must have dropped them there, forgetting them altogether. A find of value and one to save her a deal of trouble; skeleton keys are so exasperatlngly slow, particularly when used by Inexpert hands. But how’to bring herself to make use of these? All’s fair In war (and this w'as a sort of war, a war of wits at least): but one should fight with one's own arms, not pilfer the enemny’s and turn them against him. To use these keys to ransack Maitland's desk seemed an actloh ever more blackly dishonorable than this clandestine visit, this mid­ night foray. Swinging the notched metal slips from a slender finger, she contem­ plated them; and laughed ruefully. What qualms of conscience In a burg­ lar, self-confessed! She was there for a purpose, a recognized, nefarious pur­ pose. Granted. Then why quibble? She would not quibble. She would be firm. resolute. determined. cold­ blooded. unmindful of all kindness and courtesy and— She would use them, accomplish her purpose, and have done, finally ■ and for ever, with the whole hateful business! There was a bright spot of color on either cheek and a hot light of anger in her eyes as she set about her task. It would never be less hideous, never less Immediate. The desk drawers yielded easily to the eager keys. One by one she had them open end their contents explored —vain repetition of yesterday after­ noon’s fruitless task. But she must be sure, she must leave no stone un­ turned. Maitland Manor was closed to her for ever, because of last night. But here she was safe for a few short hours, and free to make assurance doubly sure. . There remained the dispatch box, the black japanned tin box which had proved obdurate yesterday. She had come prepared to break its lock this time. If need be; Maitland's careless­ ness spared her the necessity. * She lifted 11 out of a lowdV drawer, and put it in her lap. The smallest key fitted the lock at the first attempt. The Hd came up-and— Perhaps it la not altogether discred­ itable that one should temporarily for­ get one's compunctions In the long-de­ ferred moment of triumph. The girl ottered a little cry of joy. Crash!—the front door downstairs bad been slammed. She vas on her feet In a breath, faint with fear. Yet not so overcome that she forgot her errand, her suc­ cess. As she stood up she dropped the dispatch box back Into the drawer, without a sound, and, opening her Band-bag, stuffed something into it. No time to do more; a dull rumble of masculine voices was distinctly, frightfully audible in the stillness of the house; voices of men convening together in the inner vestibule. One laughed, and the laugh seemed to penetrate her bosom like a knife. Then both strode across the tiling and began to ascend, as was clearly told her by footsteps sounding deadened on ’.he padded carpet. Panic-stricken, she turned to the student lamp and with a quick twirl and upward Jerk of the chimney-catch extinguished the flame. A reek of smoke immediately began to foul the close, hot air; and she knew that It would betray her, but was helpless to stop IL Besides, she was caught, trapped, damned beyond redemption unless—unless it were not Maitland, after all. but one of the other tenants, unexpectedly returned and bound for another flat. Futile hope. Upon the landing by the door the faotsteps cea.'->d; and a key grated In the wards of the lock. Blind with terror, her sole thought an Instinctive impulse to hide and so avert discovery until thejast possible instant, and on the bare chance of something happening to save her, the girl caught up her skirts and fled like a hunted shadow through the alcove, through the bed chamber, thence down the hall toward the dining room and kitchen offices. The outer door was being opened ere she bad reached the hiding place she had. in mind—the trunk closet— from which, she remembered remark­ ing, a window opened upon a fire­ escape. It was barely possible, a fighting chance. She closed the door, grateful that Its latch slipped silently Into place, and fairly flung herself upon the win­ dow, painfully bruising her soft hands In vain endeavor to raise the sash. It stuck obstinately, would not yield. Too late, she remembered that she had forgotten to draw the catch— fatal oversight! A sob of terror choked In her throat. Already foot­ steps were hurrying down the hall: a line of light brightened underneath the door; voices, excitedly keyed, bandied question and cornmeal, an un­ mistakable Irish brogue minglng with a clear enunciation which she bad but too great reason to remember. The jjalr had passed into the next room. She could bear O'Hagan announcing"No wan here, sor." "Thenjt’s the dining room, or the trunk closet. Come along!" One last, frantic attempt! But the window catch, rusted with long dis­ use, stuck. Panting, sick with fear, the girl leaped away and crushed her­ self into a corner, crouching on the flfior behind a heavy box, her dark cloak drawn up to shield her head. And the door opened. A flood of radiance from the re­ lighted student lamp fell athwart the floor. The girl lay close and still, hold­ ing her breath. Ten seconds, perhaps, ticked on Into •tennty; secoaus tnai were m tnemselves eternities. Then: "No one here. O’Hsgan." ' The door was closed, and through Its panels more faintly came: "Faith, and the murdhirlng -dlwle must 've flew, th* coop afore ye come In.sor." The girl tried to rise, to" make again for the window; but it was as though her lltaba had turned to water; there was no strength In her; and the black­ ness swam visibly before her eyes, ra­ diating away Ln whirling, streaky Gir­ dles. Even such resolution and strong win as was hers could not prevail against that numbing, deathly exhaustion.

IMS. by Rer. T. S. Linscott, D.D.) Aug. 1st. 1W». (Copyright. IMS. by Rev. T. S. Lin.cott. D.D.) Close of Paul’s Missionary Journey. Acts -xviil: 1-22. Golden Text—In the world ye shall hqve tribulation; be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. — John xvi:33. Verse 1—What rem: rkable thing had Immediately pi eceded Paul’s start for Corinth? There is no recbrrf of a vision or any special Divine instruction, for Paul going to Corinth; but is a good man as much guided by God when he Is not consciout of it, as when he is, and why? (This question must- be answered In writing by members of the club.) Verses 2-3—Whet was the attrac­ tion between Aquila and Paul? How do you account for It that there Is an affinity between men of the same trade? Have labor men a perfect right to band themselves together, for mu­ tual protection, against the undue de­ mands of capital? Has capital a moral right to pro­ tect Itself against labor? Have business men a right to pro­ tect themselves against undue compe­ tition? Paul worked at his trade cs a tent maker for a living, is there any >uggestlon in this that modern preachers should do a similar thing? A large proportion of the member­ ship of the present day Christian church, have the latent ability to preach; ought not this ability to be de­ veloped, thus giving to every local church several preachers, and the work being divided between them, would be better done than at present, and each preacher make his own liv­ ing? Verse 4—Is ft the duty and privi­ lege of every adult Christian to be engaged at least every Sunday, In some specific spiritual work? Why did Paul, in the beginning, in Corinth, confine his work to the Sab­ bath day' and to the Jews? Verses 5-6—What effect did the visit of Silas and Timothy have upon Paul? If a good man is ever so much in earnest may the visit of another earnest man intensify his spirit? When a man does his very best In preaching, and tails to make converts. Is he entitled to as much credit as if he had great success? Did Paul blame himself for his fail­ ure, and that the Jews resisted and blasphemed; and ought a man of God always take a similar position in like circumstances? Verse 7 — Has It ever been In the pasA and is It to-day, sometimes nec­ essary for a good man to leave the church and start a meeting of his own? Verse 8—Is belief In Jesus an In­ tellectual effect, or Is It spiritual and supernatural? Verses 0-11—What method did God take in this instance to talk to Paul? Why Is It that so few Christians have any experience of any special message f-om God? Do Christians speak as much as they ought for Christ to-day. and Is there any fear of being hurt by speak­ ing for him? Verses 12-17—Can any man ex­ pect. even In these-days, to be un­ flinchingly faithful to God, and not make some people angry? How do you estimate the character of this man Gallio, and what is there In him worthy of imitation? Verses 18-22—Sum up the effects of Paul’s efforts as revealed in this lesson. Lesson for Sunday.

Battle Creek.—The city directory just issued gives Battle Creek's pop­ ulation as 30,276, an approximate gain of 4,000 over the figure of 26,289 made a year ago. The influx of hundreds of workmen at the Grand Trunk locomo­ tive shops and thteir families is large­ ly' responsible for this Increase. Maple Rapids.—A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Charles H. Al­ len on complaint of his father-in-law, John Drake, who charges him with the larceny of 1170 from the Drake home.

"iiu went wem trum io uoor .1M, „„„„ The|r ample was followed by bands of poor students, known as Bacchantes. These Bacchantes wandered. from one uni­ versity to another In search of better instruction or better means of sup­ port. Such a wandering life was fa­ vored by the customs of times when people thought It a virtue to give free­ ly to all ■ persons seeking help, but especially to monks and students. The Bacchantes had with them younger traveling scholars known as skirmishers, who were to receive In­ struction in return for certain services. The younger sklrmljther had ’to wait upon his Bacchante, beg, and even steal for him, and for the most part he was very tyrannically used. But as .he was a waif without other protec­ tion he had to make the best of mat­ ters. After the . reformation In many places these, orphan boys, or waifs, were banded Into organized choirs, who received pay from churches, but also were assisted by private sub­ scriptions. It was their duty to sing not only In the churches, but before the houses of tbefr patrons as well. Thus they ceased to be beggar*. Mar­ tin Luther himself as a boy had been one of these singers, and It was large­ ly due to his Influence that the old custom of begging entirely passed away. There. !s a famous picture of Luther as a singing boy In Eisenach where his song attracted the attention of the good Frau Cotta, who adopted and educated him. Nowadays the old custom of the choir boys' singing from house to house is fading away. There are only five other towns besides Jena in the whole German empire where this mu­ sic can be heard. Once each year the singing boys go to Eisenach and sing before the emperor in the great hall of the historic castle of the Wartburg, where the Minnesingers held their music battles. . There are just 20 of the Jena sing­ ing boys, five each of the ages of 11, 12. 13 and 14 years. They are or­ phans, and the only qualifications for the privilege of four years' board and schooling are good character, ability to sing and obedience to the laws of the organization, one of which re­ quires them to sing before the houses of their patrons.—St. Nicholas Maga zine. Living Pictures. "Universal laziness, nihilism of ideas, the desire to get everything without trouble, in lands that the gods never traversed, have provoked living pjetures. Eclectic gentlemen have ob­ served that the graceful and violent exercise of the dance has measurably developed the legs of women, while it left their busts delicate, and that women in costumes would have, a most harmonious beauty if they re­ mained calm. They are calm in the new. evolution of the drama.‘In the noise of a vague music .which will eventually be suppressed, spectators seated before a curtain , and immov­ able women behind it look at one an­ other patiently and silently like two flocks of gee«e. Thalia now is dumb and has quite forgotten her hymn In praise of Bacchus. The end of the evolution will be that people will go to the theater to see nothing at all. I know that it will be absolute perfec­ tion; but I do not like perfection."— Henri Pene du Bois. the Marines. The old sea captain, in brass but­ tons, sat smoking comfortably by his fireside, when Jack, his sailor son. , burst In upon him. ' "Weather too rough'," explained the son; "we've put in for a day." "Too rough!” exclaimed Mr. Tar. with visions of his own days on the briny. "Why. sir. I was once sailing around the cape, when a storm came on. and it blew down the mainmast, and the mizzenmast was swept away, but we didn't even think of putting in!” . ( "Well, you see." explained the son. "this storm was so bad that it blew the anchors off the captain's buttons, took the paint off the ship's bows, and—” "Stop." cried the old man. "You do me credit, Jack—you do me credit!" And even the tabby cat blushed over Its saucer. ; Lincoln. Perhaps the most sornpreheuslve and enlightening of ths articles on the great Russian “Lyot N. Tolstoy*’ which have recently appeared is the article by W. D. Howells In the North American Revle^r. Mr. Howells places the name of Tolstoy among the very greatest of the names of the nine­ teenth century. "There was’," he says. "Napoleon and there was Lincoln, and then there was’ Tolstoy in an order which time may change, though it ap­ pears to me certain that time will not change the number of these supreme names." Mr. Howells continues: "Since I have set them down they have suggested to me a sort of representative unitv in their relation to one another. Ir you fancy Napol­ eon the Incarnation ’df selfish force which inspired and supported his own triumphant enemies in their reaction against progress: if you suppose Lin­ coln the type of humanity struggling toward -the Ideal In the regeneration of the world’s polity, you may well conceive of Tolstoy as the soul’s crit­ icism of the evil and the good which, however wholly or partially they knew It, the others imperfectly did. The work of Lincoln was no more final than the work of Napoleon, and. like Lincoln’s, Tolstoy’s work has been without finality. So far as I can per­ ceive, it has. even been without ef­ fect in a civilization which calls it­ self Christian but which has apparent­ ly been no more moved by the hu­ man soul as it was in Tolstoy than by the Divine Spirit as it was in Christ. At first, indeed, the world was startled by the ypectacle of a man of the highest rank, of a most ancient linkage, of great wealth,' of renown in arms and in letters, putting from him fame and ease and honor, and proposing literally to obey the word of God, by making himself as one of the least of the brethren of Christ. It was a very curious sight, a bit droll, rather mad, wholly extraordinary. The world could hardly believe Its eyes. It rubbed the sleep of 2,000 years out of them at the sound of thl^ -voice crying in the wilderness, this voice that had so charmed it in fable, and bidding it prepare the way of the Lord and make his paths straight. Some tears came Into Its eyes and some smiles; but after a while its lids fell again and all was as before. The event, one of the greatest In the his­ tory of mankind, has been without per­ ceptible effect In civilization." Laziest Bird on Eartn. Some of the most wonderful birds In the world are to be seen at the Lon­ don Cage Bird association's annual show, says the Mail, of that city. Perhaps the most remarkable ex­ hibit of all is a bird described by Mr. Frank Finn, the well known ornitholo­ gist. as the laziest bird on earth. This is the Cuban trogon. a feathered idler of true Spanish-American instincts. He will sit patientfy under a bough waiting for the ripe fruit to fall into his beak, instead of plucking it for himself. Not even the prospect of taking home a first and special prize to its owner disturbed the placidity of this picturesque winged sluggard. An­ other remarkable exhibit is the rare hawk-headed parrot of South Amer­ ica. The toucans, which have been aptly described as "beaks with birds behind them." attracted a great deal of attention. The ‘great Himalayan barbet was in his usual bad temper, biting furiously at everybody’s fingers.

ADJUSTABLE BEAM PLOW Did you ever wish you had a steel beam plow, which adjusted for 2 or 3 horses as the old wooden beam did? I think you.have. The Gale G2Xt has an adjustable steel beam arid will work equally well with 2 or 3 horses. A plow adjusting by the clevis alone will not work equally well with either number of horses, as the line of draft will vary. The G2X is set for two horses and is easily and quickly adjusted for 8. This adjustment is simple and costs you nothing extra. Steel and wood-frame harrows for fall work. SO ° 'C. E. ROSCOE.

Ballentine, Mich. .Editor News:— With your permission I will say a few words to your many readers re­ garding the Lake Superior country, but not wishing to take up too much space, will confine myself to only a few topics which may perhaps interest them. Two years ago I wrote several’ letters to The News from this section, in which I predicted a bright future for the place, especially as a grazing country, and now, like the clause in the declaration of indepen­ dence, in the course of human events, we not only find ourselves here once more, but all our predictions are be­ ing verified. 1 am speaking only of what is call­ ed die Ontonagon valley, a very -level and lumbered strip of land consisting of about half of the southern portion of the country. A creamery of large capacity has been established at the town of Ewing, on the D. S. S. & A. railroad, and cows are being shipped here by tbe thousands. Every farmer, or perhaps I should say settler, has from ten to twenty cows and there are a few who have as many as fifty. All own cream separators "and separate their own cream, and so large is the business becoming, that the trains on the D. S. S. & A. stop at nearly all road crossings to gather the cream, and a settler living twenty miles from the factory is enabled to get his pro­ duct at the place and at the right time three times a week. The cattle are not kept in an en­ closed pasture, but-.roam at will, but there is usually a herder to watch them. It is a very beautiful sight in­ deed, to watch these large droves of cattle feeding. Wild deer often mingle with them and a few days ago we witnessed a novel sight. Two pretty little spotted fawns had made friends with some young calves, and all were skipping and jumpingaround, while the mother deer stood a little distance away watching them. Moneyed men are becoming interest­ ed here and tbe land is being cleared up. not by tbe acre, but by sections. From here I can see as many as seven­ ty-five men ciearing land and it is in­ deed a sight worth witnessing- The men are divided up br crews: the held crew handles the teams and all day long you can hear-the mltrry songs and jests of the workers. All the standing timber is cut, the largest logs sawed into lumber and with a decking chain arc piled into mammoth heaps. । Following a short distance behind j are two or three experienced men ■ blasting the stumps with dynamite 1 and all day long one hears the con­ I slant boom! boom! of the dynamite | which sounds like artillery, but the ; objects seen flying through the air jare not death dealing shells, but 1 stumps or pieces of them. | In the wake of these men come the finishing gang, picking up all slivers, chips, and pieces very small. But why so particular you may ask. 1 j will explain. They do not plow their sings around your. head. ____ „ warning of hit intentions, and there is an other specie know* here as the anaconda, although that may not be their proper name. They are not so numerous as the common kind, but much larger, being about the size. of a humming bird, and when they strike there is always something doing. I have seen men quietlv walking along, when suddenly they would spring into the air,, make several, evolutionsand finally land qn tbeiri feet again, so scar**? that it would' take several moments for then to re­ cover. And the ladies. Oh my. must 1 tell'?: She has just arrived from Chicago and is at one of the pleasure resorts. She is very beautiful. Her cheeks look so rosy red that you recall the time when a barefooted lad, you stood on the sidewalk and gazed longingly at the red cheeked- candy apples in the grocery window. She has had a busy day, sailing over placid waters, exploring old Indian burying grounds and plucking flowers from the dells. She Is tired now and is gracefully re­ clining in a hammock anchored be­ tween two trees, whose leaves are the hiding place of one of these large anacondas, who takes in the situation and then strikes. There is a piercing scream and you experience a few breathless moments until you find all is well. When a man is bitten by one of these mosquitoes, he is generally willing to admit that he dosen’t care to experience another like attack, but when it is a woman, they klways claim they are dead, and stick right to ft, no matter how much you contradict them.

TRIP THEFT OF ASSISTANT INSTITUTION CASHIER FROM CLOSES DOORS Leaves Note for Brother. Marker left a note on the desk of his brother, William Marker, cashier of the bank, saying be had gone forever and that he had taken "enough money to pay bls expenses.” Tbe fact that he had emptied the cash box of nearly 160,000 was not known until the time lock gave admittance to the vault. Whether Marker had previously ta­ ken money from the bank's funds and had covered up the defalcations by making false entries in the books can­ not be known until a National bank ex­ aminer. who arrived to-day, has com­ pleted his investigations. The direc­ tors of the bank decided to suspend the bank's operation until the exam­ iner should have taken charge of the books. They posted on the front of the bank building a placard reading: “N. R. Marker, assistant cashier of this bank, - has absconded with all its cash. The treasury department at Washington has been notified and the bank will re­ main closed awaiting the department’s 1 instructions.” Got Bank Into Litigation. The bank has been Involved in liti­ gation for-the possession of $40,000 of Cuyahoga county (O.) bonds. The bank's president, E. W. Shirk, to-day was notified, by his attorneys in Lima. O.. that they had obtained by replevin suit these securities, which had been held by the Farmers’ & Citizens’ Live Stock Insurance Company of Lima, O., and had given bond for them for dou­ ble their value. This proceeding was begun by Mr. Shirk last week when, on returning to this- city after several weeks' absence, he found that, the bank had been compelled to pay to the owners of the securities the amount of their value. The bonds had been turned over to the insurance com­ pany by Noah Marker for examination, he said, and he had not demanded that they be paid for before they left his hands. When the owners insisted that f either the bonds should be returned to them or that a draft for their value should be forwarded to them, Noah Marker obtained a loan of $40,000 from an Indianapolis bank on his own bank's, part and he had settled for' the ‘ bunds. Books Are in Tangle. Mr. Shirk says he has not been able to find a record of this loan on the Tipton bank's books. Neither, he said, had he found a check for $5,000, repre­ senting a partial prepayment by the in­ surance company on the bonds, made last April. "I do not know,” said Mr. Shirk, “the condition of the bank's funds, but I do know we shall pay every cent of in­ debtedness. ' We are perfectly able to do this.” • The resources of the First National bank amount to $1,100,000. Its capital - is $100,000. Deposits amounts to $845,77L Will Return, Says Brother. 'William Marker, the cashier, said be felt sure his brother would return In a few days and face prosecution. "He has been worrying over letting those bonds out of his hands until he is men­ tally deranged," said Mr. Marker. "He hardly ate or slept for ten days before he left.” Noah Marker has been connected with the bank 19 years. He was the Republican candidate for mayor of the city four years ago and was defeated. He was an active church member. He is 35 years old and has a wife and one child. Valmore Wins Mackinac Cup.

Marker, after sweeping together the money, set the time clock on the safe so that It could not be opened until yesterday morning and left the cjty on a traction car for Indianapolis at eight o’clock Saturday night, telling bls wife that he should spend Sunday with his father and mother in Indian­ apolis.

After a great deal of effort. and correspondence Von W. Furniss the popular druggist has succeeded in getting the Dr. Howard Co. to make a special half-price Introductory offer on the regular fifty cent size of their celebrated specific for the cure of constipation and dyspepsia. This medicine is a recent discovpry for tiie cure of all diseases of the stomach and bowels. It not obiy gives quick relief, but it makes permanent cures. , Dr. Howard’s specific has been so remarkably successful in curing constipation, dyspepsia and all liver troubles, that Von W. Furniss is willing to return the price paid in every case where it does not give re­ lief. So great is the demand for this specific that Von W. Furniss has been -able to secure only a limited supply, and every one who is troubled with dyspepsia, constipation or liver trouble should call upon hint at once, or send 25 cents, and get sixty doses of the best medicine ever made, on this special half price offer with his personal guarantee to refund the money if it does not cure.

WRIGHT TO GET Washington, July 31. — Orville Wright, In a ten-mlle cross-country flight in the aeroplane built by him­ self and his elder brother. Wilbur, and accompanied by Lieut Benjamin D. Foulols of the army signal corps, not only surpassed the speed require­ ments of hls codtract with the United States government but accomplished the most difficult and -daring flight ever planned .for a heavier-tban-air flying machine. Incidentally. Wright broke all speed records over a measured course and ' established beyond dispute the practicabiilty of the aeroplane in time of peace and in time of war. Wright’s speed was more than 42 miles an hour. He made the ten-mlle flight in 14 minutes and 42 seconds. He attained a height in crossing the valley of Four Mile Run of nearly 500 feet, and the average altitude of hls practically level course was about 200 feet. President Taft arrived upon the parade ground at Fort Myer just ’n time to see the aeroplane land and to participate In the wild demonstrate which welcomed the triumphant avi­ ators. To-day the official board determined the speed made. The Wrights will receive >30,000, including a bonus of >5,000, for their aeropHne. GIRLS WITH in Use For Over 30 Years.

The Gale G2X has an adjustable steel beam and will work equally well with 2 or 3 horses. A plow adjusting by the clevis alone will not work equally well with either number of horses, as the line of draft will vary. The G2X is set for two horses and is easily and quickly adjusted for 8.

Portland, Oregon. July 2D, 1WX‘. Dear Ones at Home:— This is Tuesday evening and Mrs. McIntosh and I sit in our room look­ ing out upon the busy street, after having spent a very pleasant day at Arleta at Mr. Paratty’s home. The children, were all at home and we had a Very pleasant time trying to men­ tion all our Nashville friends and locate them. How we appreciated the dinner after our hotel fare. It cer­ tainly did me good to. see them all looking so well and every one busy. Portland [s a beautiful city. It is situated on the Willamette river, which we cross nearly every day. Vegetation is very luxuriant here and cherries are three times the size of our little ones at home and a wormy one is not to be found. The roses are beautiful: in fact I never saw so many beautiful flowers grow naturally as are found west of the Rockies. Sunday afternoon we spent at Coun­ cil Crest, a park on a high peak out­ side of the city. The park over-looks the city and from its summit we could look, back and see the whole city. Then to the north of us we saw Nit. Hood. Mt. Adams and Mt. St. Helens, each covered with snow and each over sixty miles away. I thought as I crossed the Rockies on the Cana­ dian Pacific railroad. “Could man on earth ever ask for more beautiful scenery?” All along the way for miles we saw the snow capped moun­ tain-,. then the water falls bringing water from the high summits to feed the large rivers, which flowed in tor­ rents similar to the Niagara, only 4,000 to 5.000 feet above sea level. ' One thing I find very cheap here and free to all seems to be the fresh air. It all seems to be scented with odor from the lofty pines, and try as I will i cannot breathe deep enough to get all I wish each time. We spent one Sunday in Vancou­ ver, British Columbia, which city is rapidly growing up with the west. The population is now 100,000 and still increasing. Here we visited Stanley park and saw some large trees growing, which were 10 feet In diameter, the pine, spruce and hem­ lock being the principal trees found here. • We visited two large foreign ves­ sels which lay in the harbor there, one being the “Empress of China”, where we had a good opportunity to study the real Chinese life; the other a vessel which was about ready to sail for Sydney, Australia. The’ exposition at Seattle was verygood, the exhibits from the western states’and Alaska being pdrticularly attractive. We were very kindly re­ ceived at the Michigan Club building on the grounds and also at the build­ ing for Masons and Eastern Stars just at the entrance to the fair grounds. This is only the beginning of our journey, as we leave here Saturday for San Francisco and the south, where new pleasures await us. I am more than delighted with the west. Trusting you are all well -and en­ joying the best of health as every one is here, I am, • Very sincerelv, • Flora R. Boston. ..ALL FOR ONE ADMISSION.

Why. any girl who has any pride at, all in her achieve­ ments has a doxen personalities, and In any one of them she would have to be introduced to her real self if they chanced to meet? If you are going to be a success you simply can’t afford to be your real self all the while, you know. “In the first place, half the people you met wouldn't understand you, half the rest would be bored, and twothirds of the remainder would go away and talk about you. “I'm not speaking of relatives, be­ cause usually they are the least ac­ quainted with you of anybody. Why. I've met utter strangers with whom in five minutes I was more in accord than with all the cousins and aunts and what-not I’d known all my life. "But that Isn't what I started out to say. We girls show our variegated assortment of selves more dlstinctly accordlng to the man who happens to be calling on us or taking us out soriiewhel-e. Yes, you do, Annie!” she broke off, accusingly, glaring at a girl who looked rebellious. "I hope." said the rebellious girl, a little stiffly, “that I have character enough and sense enough not to try to’ deceive—" “Oh, that's nil right.” broke in the girl who was doing the talking. “I've no doubt you have a perfectly glitter­ ing rock-bound strength of character, but I'd like to know what good it does you when Henry dawns on your horlson. Why. you know you take no more interest in the state of the pigiron market than you do in the color of the toga Julius Caesar - wore to breakfast on Mondays, yet you resolve yourself into a regular blank phono­ graph record into which Henry pours an account of what pig iron sold for last week, and what it is going to sell for next week, and how he is slaying It single-handed. ""At discreet Intervals, when he has to. catch his breath, you repeat snatches of his own remarks to him. and generally admire him for his sa­ gacity. Henry simply has got to have some one admire him and you know right well if you didn't do It he'd hunt up some girl who would. He demands adoration and you supply the best, hand-made, all-persuasive, saccha­ rine brand on the market, and If you keep it up faithfully he's sure to marry you in the near future." "1 think you are perfectly horrid!" flared the object of these remarks. “We all do It," pursued the flrat girl, calmly. '‘There's the man who prides. himself on bls ability to un­ derstand women. Instantly in his presence a girl becomes a little help­ less and appealing. There is a look in her eyes as she glances at him that asks him to spare her inexperi­ ence and her simplicity, because all her sweet young life she knows is as an open book to him. This makes him feel good. He likes metaphorically to pat her on the head and murmur: 'Fear not, little girl! Though I know you better than you know yourself, yet will I not take advantage of my knowledge. I will act just as if you were as clever «as I am.' ” ’* “If you're trying to hit me,” spoke' up the blonde girl, excitedly, "I don’t think it Is very nice of you! I never look at Arthur that way, nev—" "And then,” went on the talker, "when a blustering, gruff man comes along who maintains that he is per­ fectly independent of sympathy and despises the gentler graces, we adopt a hail-fellow-well-met air and a lady­ like cynicism. We cultivate a nice little bitter twist to our lips and a shrug to our shoulders. Oh, we are seasoned, disillusioned, cold specta­ tors of a disappointed world, and many many times have we thought the very thoughts he is putting into words so forcefully. Yes, Indeed! We make ourselves into a slightly dimmer replica of him as he is mentally. "Then, if a man comes along who Is frothy and epigrammatic, we have the muse of comedy beaten a mile so far as a smile goes. We sparkle. We effervesce. If we don't sparkle nat­ urally we put up such a good imita­ tion it would d*celva ^fTexperr That Is really the most wearing kind of man to live up to. I don't know anything more tiresome than having to be giddy when you feel like a freight car full of Henry's beloved pig iron. "Say,” elided tbe girl who was doing the talking, “wouldn't It be easier if there were only one pattern of man, Instead of a few thousands?" 1* “I'm sure.” said the blonde girl, still haughtily, "that I'm fond of all my friends! I. don’t understand you in the least!" "I suppose not “ said the girl who had been talking, with a sigh.

Aug. 6.—The. tariff has been revised and the extraordinary session of congress has been brought to a close. Both houses adjourned sine die officially at. six o'clock last night. The president left this afternoon for the "summer White' House" at Beverly. Mass., and all but a few of the members of congress have gone to their homes. The members of the conference committee and cabinet -were dinner guests of the president last night President Signs the Bill. . The conference report on tbe bill .was agreed to by the senate by a vote of 47 to 31. and the concurrent resolu­ tion making certain changes in the leather schedule was adopted by both houses. President Taft arrived at the capi­ tal at 4:45 p. in., and 20 minutes later 'signed tbe bill, which became a law to-day. . Bending.over the president as he af­ fixed his signature were Secretary Knox. Secretary MacVeagh, Attorney General Wickersham. Postmaster Gen­ eral Hitchcock. Secretary Nagel and Secretary Wilson. Statement by Taft. After signing the tariff bill Presi­ dent Taft gave out a statement em­ bodying his views of the new act. which he designates .officially as the "Payne bill,'" in accordance with past custom of giving first recognition to the framer of the measure in the house of representatives. The president declares that, while the bill is not perfect by any means, nor “a complete compliance with promises made, strictly interpreted.” it is, nevertheless, a* sincere effort on the part of the party to make a down-, ward revision and to comply with the premises of the platform. The statement in part follows: “I have signed the Payne tariff be­ cause I believe It to be the result of sincere effort on the part of the Re­ publican party to make a downward revision, and to comply with the promises of the platform as they have been generally understood, and as I interpreted them in the campaign be­ fore election. "This is not a perfect tariff bill, or a complete compliance with the prom­ ises made, strictly interpreted, but a fulfillment free from criticism in re­ spect to a subject matter involving many schedules and thousands of arti­ cles could not be expected. "The corporation tax is a just and equitable excise measure, which it is hoped will produce a sufficient amount to prevent a deficit and which, inci­ dentally. will secure valuable statis­ tics and Information concerning the many corporations of the country, and will constitute an Important step toward that degree of publicity and regulation which the tendency in cor­ porate enterprises in the last 20 years has shown to be necessary."

There is no tool on the farm that will pay larger per cent on the investment than a good sulky plow and the only way to find out about what a good sulky plow will do is to get one and try it. If it don’t do more and better work and do it with less hard work on the part of horses and man than any hand or walking plow and if you try a sulky plow and it don’t do as stated don’t buy it.

Following tbe street parade Wednes­ day the post office was robbed by a pair of masked men. The alarm was promptly given, one of the robbers was shot and badly wounded, while the other was captured by Tom Wilkinson, who lassoed -him on Washington street after an exciting chase and brought him back. The wounded robber was thrown into the patrol wagon and given a ride that shook him back to life, winding- up at the village steel cage.

R. Eastwood of South Dakota advocated chloroforming idiots. A paper by Dr. Sharp of Indiana was read by Amoa W. Butler of Indian­ apolis, and was listened to in silence. After a discussion of the outdoor plan of treating convicts, in which every speaker told of the good results of, banishing armed guards and putting the prisoners on honor, the debate on the Indiana plan was begun by a dele­ gate moving that Dr. Sharp's paper be suppressed on the ground that the Indiana plan was contrary to the Bible.

Outside of casting their votes the president believes that census -super­ visors and enumerators should keep clear of anything that savors of poli­ tics, national, state or.local. The president ordefrl that the secre­ tary of'commerce and labor and the director of the census embody in the regulations governing the taking of the census the rule so forcibly laid down in his letter. Recommended by Congressmen. Mr. Taft -says in appointing census supervisors it has been found neces­ sary to select men recommended by senators and congressmen In their dis­ tricts. He says he realizes this meth­ od of selection might easily be per­ verted to political purposes and it !■ to take the census out of politics, so far as the actual work is concerned, that he has explicitly expressed his desire concerning the regulations. In concluding his letter the pres!lent says: "I wish to make this regulation as broad as possible, and wish it en­ forced without exception. It is of the highest .importance that the census should be taken by men having only the single purpose of reaching a Just and right result, and that the large amount of money to be expended in the employment of so vast a machine as the census shall not be made to serve the political purposes of anyone.

Nashville Breaks Even With the Furniture Cltya at Harvest Festival Games. An even break was the best Nash­ ville could do with the Furniture City boys, winning the firvl one handily by I a score of 8 to 4, on Wednesday, but losing Thursday's game by a score of 5 to 4. The game of Wednesday was played throughout in a drizzling rain, mak­ ing the ball slippery Ami fast play ing out of the question. Wild pitches and passed balls were numerous, owing to the weather conditions, but Nashville won the game on its own merits, having all the best of it. Only seven of the , Furniture City team’ showed up on the grounds, but their team was filled by putting in Vern Hiar of Vermontville to play left field and Will Mater in right field. Each of the boys put up a good game, and each got one hit. Brumm pitched a clever game throughout, striking out fifteen men and having the game well in hand all the time, while Shepard was very wild, passing eight batsmen and striding out but six. Nashville took the lead in the first inning, pushing three runs over on two hits, a sacrifice, a base on balls and a wild throw, and were never headed thereafter, adding four more in the fifth with but one hit, passed balls., wild pitches and errors, mixed with two bases on balls, being re­ sponsible. The visitors made more hits during the game than the locals, but could not get them when they would count.

Seeing that they were clearly out­ classed In the Wednesday game, the visitors sent home for help, securing a new battery in Chappell, the star left-hander of the All Stars, as pitch­ er, and Broder, his catcher, together with Hyland, the first baseman who tried out with Grand Rapids earlier in the season, and Barran, who played right field. This strengthened their team so much that they were able to put up a much more classy game than that of the previous day. and one of the liest games of the season was played, before a splendid crowd. Each team put one run across in the opening inning. In the fourth, Scheldt lost his excellent control and hit two batsmen, which, with a double and single, put three runs over, but Nash­ ville came back strong and tied the score, two rank errors by Shauuahan, the visitors’ shortstop, and Scheldt's two-base hit doing the busi­ ness. In the fifth, after Brumm had replaced Scheldt In-the box. the, vis­ itors annexed another tally.

"Well, guess yeh’ll have time to write a book about it while yeh—” He stepped unexpectedly to Mait­ land's side and bent forward. Some­ thing cold and hard closed with a snap around each of the young man's wrists. Re started up, face aflame with indignation, forgetful of the girl hidden in the alcove. "What the devil!” he cried, hotly, Jingling the handcuffs. “Ah. come off." Hickey advised him. "Yeh can't bluff It forever, you know. Come along and tell the sarge all about it. Daniel Maitland. Es-quire, alias' Handsome Dan Anisty, gentle­ man burglar. Ab, cut' that out; young fellow; yeh’re foxy, all right, but yeh’ve pushed yer run of luck too I hard." Hickey paused, perplexed, finding nc words wherewith adequately to voice the disgust aroused in him by his pris­ oner’s demeanor, something far from seemly, to his mind. The humor of the situation had just dawned upon Maitland, and the young man was crimson with appreciation. "Go on. go on!" he begged, feebly. "Don’t let me stop you. Hickey. Don't, please, let me spoil it all. Your Sher­ lock Holmes. Hickey, Is one of the finest characterisations I have ever witnessed. It Is a privilege not to be underestimated to be permitted to play Raffles to you. But seriously, my dear aleuth!” with an unhappy attempt to wipe his eyes with hampered fists, “don’t you think you’re wasting your talents?'* By this time even the policeman ■eemed doubtful. He glanced askance at the detective.and shuffled uneasily. As for the cabby, who had blustered In at first with intent to demand bis due in no uncertain terms, apparently Maitland's bearing, coupled with the Inherent contempt and hatred of the nighthawk tribe for the minions of the law, had won his sympathies complete­ ly. Lounging against a door-jamb, quite at home, he genially puffed an unspeakable cigarette and nodded ap­ probation of Maitland's every other Word. But Hickey—Hickey bristled bellig­ erently. "Fine." he declared, acidly; "fine I and dandy. I take off my hat to yeh. ’ Dan Anisty. 1 may be a bad actor, all right, but yeh got me beat at the । post." Then turning to the policeman: "I l gotjhlm right. Look here!" Drawing , a folded newspaper from his pocket, he spread it open for the officer's in­ spection. "Yeh see them pictures? 1 Now. on the level, is it natural?" The patrolman frowned doubtfully, i glaring from the paper to Maitland, j The cabby stretched a curious neck. | Maitland groaned inwardly; he had ! seen that infamous sheet. "Now listen," the detective ex­ pounded with gusto. “Twict to-day this here Maitland, or Anisty. meets me. Once on the stoop here, 'nd he's Mait­ land 'nd takes me to lunch—see? Next time It's in Harlem, where I’ve been sent with a hot tip from the c'mmisa’ner's office to find Anisty, 'nd he’s still Maitland ’nd surprised to see me. I ain't sure then, but I’m doin’ some heavy thinkin*. all right. I lets him go and shadows him. After a while he gives me the slip ’nd I chases down here, waitin' for him to turn up. Com­ ing down on the car I buys this paper •nd sees the pictures, and then I'm on. See?" “Uh-huh," grunted the patrolman, ■cowling at Maitland. The cabby caressed his nose with a soiled fore­ finger reflectively, plainly a bit pre­ judiced by Hickey's exposition. "One minute." Maitland interjected, eyes twinkling and lips twitching. "How long ago was it that you began to watch this house, sleuth?" "Five minutes before yeh come," responded Hickey, ignoring the insult. “Now— " "Took you a long time to figure this out. didn't it? But go on, please." "Well, I picked the winner, all right,” flared the detective. "I guess that'll be about all for yours.” "Not quite," Maitland contradicted, brusquely, wearying of the aomnMcar tlon. "You say you met me on the stoop here. At what o’clock?" "One; 'nd yeh takes me to lunch at Eugene’s.” "Ah! When did I leave-you?" "I leaves yeh thefe at two." "Well, O'Hagan win testify that he left me in these rooms, in dr^slnggown and slippers, at about one. At four he found me on this divan, bound and gagged, by courtesy of your friend. Mr. Anisty. Now, when was I with you In Harlem?" “At seven o’clock, to the minute, yeh comes—" "Never mind. At ten minutes to seven I took a cab from here to the Primordial club, where I dined at seven precisely." "And what's more.” Interposed the cabman, eagerly. "I took yer there, sir." . "Thank you. Furthermore.- sleuth, you say that you followed me around town from seven o'clock until— . a when?" *T said—” stammered the plain­ clothes man. purple with confusion. "No matter. I didn't leave the Primordial until a quarter to eleven.

Hickey's jaw sagged. The cabby os­ tentatiously covered his mouth with a huge red paw and made choking noises. "Pass It up. sarge. pass it up." he whispered, hoarsely. “Shut yer trap,” snapped the de­ tective. "I know what I'm doin'. This crook's clever al! right, but I got the kibosh on him thia time. Lemme alone." He squared bls shoulders, blustering to save his face. “I don't know why yeh done It—" "Then I'll tell you." Maitland cut In. crisply. "If you’ll be good enough to listen.” And concisely narrated the events of the past 24 hours, beginning at the moment when he had discov­ ered Anisty in Maitland Manor. Save that he substituted himself for ’.he man who had escaped from Higgins and eliminated all mention of the gray girl, his statement was exact and con­ vincing. As he came down to the mo­ ment when he had called up from the Bartholdi and heard mysterious sounds in his flat, substantiating his story by indicating the receiver that dangled useless from the telephone. even Hickey was staggered. But not beaten. When Maltland ceased speaking the detective smiled superiority to such Invention. "Very pretty.” he conceded. "Yeh c’n teil It all to the magistrate to-morrow morn­ Ing. Meantime yen’ll have time to think up a yarn explaitfln' how it come that a crook like Anisty made three attempts in one* day to steal some jewels, 'nd didn’t get 'em. Where were they all this time?" "In safe-keeping." Maitland lied. manfully, with a furtive glance toward the alcove. X "Whose?” pursued Mr. Hickey, truc­ ulently. "Mine," with equanimity. "Serious­ ly—sleuth!—are you trying to make a charge against me of stealing my own property?" "Yeh done It for a blind. 'Nd that’s enough. Officer, take this man to the station; I'll make the complaint." The policeman hesitated, and at this juncture O’Hagan put in an appear­ ance. lugging a heavy brown-paper bundle.

Twenty-nine years ago the steamer Alpena went down with her freight of humanity to the bottom pf Lake Mich­ igan. Among tbe unfortunates was Dr. L. 8. Pavtop, who with 950,000. representing the sum total of his pos­ sessions, was -crossing over to invest In Michigan land. So with the death of her husband, Mrs. Payton sus­ tained a double loss, and finding her­ self alone and penniless, 'faced the world with courage such as probably thousands of her sex had done before her. Last month she died, having made Her living since her husband’s death by manicuring. And at her request, her bodv was cremated, after which the small metal box containing her ashes was taken aboard the steam­ ship “City of Chicago” and carried to that portion of the lake where her husband ntet his fate, and there to the strains of the ship’s orchestra and in the presence of about two thousand peoptef was lowered to join his body in its final resting place. THINKS HE KNOWS. Watch the national and state news and the reviews of the latest books; know whether if we have a democratic or republican president, yet do not hold forth on such subjects like an embryo politician. Above all things, cultivate a low, sweet voice, instead of that highpitched nasal twang which is so often credited to our American women, yet don't forget to articulate clearly and distinctly. If you are naturally in­ clined to be sarcastic, regard it as & fault to be eradicated. In . general conversation speak kindly of all, and do not be too fond of the capital I. Personal experiences are not especial­ ly interesting, except io an intimate friend. . Watch your language and try to form a habit of speaking correctly in a natural way and not as though you kept your correct form of speech, like your best clothes, for special occa­ sions. Paying attention to the lan­ guage of others will often help us to overcome faults in our own. Consider that day lost when you do not accomplish a kind act or learn something new of persons, places or things. If you can, procure a good education, but if you cannot do this, you can at least become an intelligent, well-bred girl, anti that alone is bet­ ter than the other without it. Some­ times I think a truly well-bred, unsel­ fish woman is tbe pearl of great price that we read so much about, and I am inclined to think she is as rare as the wonderful black'pearls which are valued even above the first water dia­ mond. ________ Dr. Chas.

TROOPERS, DEPUTY SHERIFFS AND 8CHOENVILLE MOB IN BLOODY BATTLt MANY ARE BADLY WOUNDED Fierce Fight with Rifiee end Revolvers Follows Attack on Car Plant by StrlkarsJ—Women Aid Men Struggle. «t*te Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 23.—One . trooper and one deputy sheriff and three foreigners were shot and killed hurt night in a wild riot in Schoenvilie at the PreBsed Steel Car plant, whose employes are now on strike. At least a ecore of persons were seriously wounded, ten perhaps fatally. The rioting followed a day of quiet and .broke without warning. The following partial list of dead and injured was made up from re­ ports from the morgue, hospital and several physicians' offices: The Dead. John L. Williams, state trooper. Harry Exler, deputy sheriff. Three foreigners. Fatally Injured. John C. Smith, state trooper. \ Lucelian Jones, state trooper. Seven foreigners. George Kltch and Johh O'Donnell, state troopers, were seriously Injured and one woman was shot in tbe neck. More than a score of persons re­ ceived more or less serious injuries. ■ The riot ' scene was practically in-; describable. Mounted state troopers , galloped Indiscriminately through the street' with riot maces drawn, crack- ' ing the heads of all persons loitering In the vicinity of the mill. Make Wholesale Arrests. Deputy sheriffs and troopers broke ' tn the doors of houses, suspected of j being the retreat of the strikers and wholesale arrests were made. From 9:20 to 11:30 o'clock scores of per­ sons were arrested and placed in box­ car jails in the mill yards. During the early stages of the riot­ ing women were conspicuous. Some of them were armed, others effectively used clubs and stones. These women, all foreigners, insane with rage, were mainly responsible for inciting the men to extreme measures. At midnight quiet reigned In the strike zone. Attack Without Warning. Shortly before 9:30 o'clock the mob of men gathered about the entrance to the works and without warning made a concerted attack upon the big swinging gates of the stockade. Tbe attack" was resisted, by state troopers and deputy sheriffs, who used riot maces. In the melee Harry Exler, aged 50 years, was shot and Instantly killed by a bullet fired, it is said; by an alleged strike sympathizer. In an effort to arrest tbe man picked out of the crowd as the one who did the shooting. State Trooper Smith was instantly killed by a revolver bullet. Two other troopers on foot were also shot, falling Into the arms of their comrades. Exchange Shota with Rifles. For the first time since the inceptlon of the strike, the state troopers opened volley fire on tbe mob. Six strikers fell at the first round. Three of them are reported fatally shot. The members of the mob then opened fire with rifles. Two mounted troopers dropped from their horses, fatally shot. They were taken to the Ohio Valley hospital in a dying condition.

He is al­ 1ways interested in everything that in­ 1 terests America." ' This is the estimate of Alexander ’Millar, secretarj' of the Harriman ]lines, who for the-last 11 years has 1been In close and almost continuous <contact with Mr. Harriman, and at a ।time, too, when all of his biggest 1 financial and railroad coups jplanned and executed.

Mr. Mlllar‘ replied: — "Some say he bought his seat on the ,stock exchange with the fruits of his (own efforts. He was 22 years old when ,he became a member of the exchange.

Mr. Millar chuckled and his eyes twinkled as he replied: "Just works, that's all; doesn't seem to have any method, but always ac­ complishes what he sets out to db." Mr. Millar then told of Mr. Harri­ man's sojourn abroad and said reports of his failing -health and physical breakdown had been greatly exagger­ ated. "The man’s tired out. He needed a rest and he took It. His rheumatism bothered him. too, but th? births at Badgastein greatly Improved him." Asked how Mr. Harriman had amused himself while housed for three weeks at “the Semering" during an incessant downpour of rain, Mr. Mil­ lar said: "Playing with his children.

WATER FAMINE FOLLOWS DECATUR’S $1,000,000 FIRE Business District of Illinois City Swept by Flames—Panic Among Hotel Patrons. Decatur, HL, Aug. 23.—Fire which started at one o'clock Sunday morn­ ing in the Moorehouse & Wells hard­ ware store on East Main street was under control at four o'clock in tbe afternoon. The loss is placed at $1,000,000, but the figures are purely speculative. The Insurance is about 80 per cent, of that amount. Following the fire, which is the worst in the history of the city, De­ catur faced a water famine. It be­ came necessary to shut off the resi­ dence districts, the supply of water In the reservoir being down to seven feet. The waterworks last night worked under fire pressure to refill the reservoir. The condition ternporarllj* placed thu city in a hazard­ ous position, especially If another fire should starL During the fire a blaze was discov­ ered in the engine-room of the De­ catur hotel, situated a half-block west of the district that was being destroyed. There was a panic among the guests, who realized that the fire­ men had a bigger job on their bands than they could handle. Prompt work by the hotel people resulted in ex­ tinguishing the flames before they had a chance to spread. In response to a call for help. Springfield sent an engine. The fol­ lowing buildings, together with their stocks of goods, were destroyed: Moorehouse & Wells Hardware Company, Henry Bachrach, clothing; John Spotts, cigar dealer; Sam's con­ fectionery store, City Book store, Dick's poolroom, Danzelsen’s meat market.

' BASE BALL. GRASSHOPPERS. St CINCH BUGS. 4. Last Friday there was just about as nice a game of ball at Riverside park as one would like to see. The Hop•pers, captained .by Phil Dalhauser. and the Bugs, captained by Charlie Nease, hooked up in a game for blood and the hoppers jumped five runs over the home plate while the bugs were biting four corners off the same. With all it-was a good game, full of errors on both sides, but good to look nt. There were a few ground and lofty tumbling acts that kept a fair-sized crowd in good humor and it was worth the price of admission Dalhouser and H. Barnurffcame to­ gether around' second base and Dalh. was knocked down and trampled upon in a real mean way, but he came to. allright and immediately afterward jumped six or eleven feet (more or less) in tlie air and captured a wild throw from the catcher. Ball, of the hoppers, ran so far up under a high fly that he nearly turned a back hand­ spring in his efforts to catch it, and when he picked himself up he w so surprised to find the ball struck in his hand that he very nearly threw it over the right field fence instead of towards tbe diamond. Some of the “stunts" done were excruciatingly funny. “Fike" umpired and he done “purty" good. The score: E G.HOPPERS R H Welch, lb DalhauMT, 2b... Smith, cf P. Barnum, p... Deller, c.............

On Sunday morning she had gone further than ever before, getting through the fence and going up the track several rods east of the gate, unknown to her par­ ents, and was playing with the dog alongside the track. She was so hid­ den from sight by the tall grass that the enginemen did not see her until the train was almost upon her, the first that the engineer saw being the little dog running from the grass out on the track, An instant later he was horirfied to see the little girl emerge from the grass and .follow her pet up­ on the track immediately in front of the train. The engineer blew a warning blast and applied the emer­ gency brakes, but the train hud hardly felt the effects of the brakes before the pilot struck the toL^/Phe\parents beard the warning ‘whistle and the mother looked up just in lime to see the body of her darling being thrbwn in the air. The pilot evidently struck the child above the knees, as she stood by the side of the track, not be-, tween live rails, breaking both legs, one at the thigh, the other a trifle lower, and the head was thrown-back against the upper part of'the pilot, badly putting and bruising the head as well'as the little body. The tot al­ so received a broken arm, probably in falling after being thrown through the air. The father rushed at once to the spot where the accident occurred, ar­ riving just as the trainmen were pick­ ing up the unconscious babe. The train, with the babe and parents, was backed immediately tolhestation, where physicians were summoned and every­ thing possible done for the unfortun­ ate little one, which was then carried tenderly home on a stretcher by sym­ pathetic hands. It was not thought possible that the child could live, but in the afternoon, bhe being still alive, Dr. J. I. Baker set the broken limbs, and at the time of going to press the little one is alive, though still unconscious, and the physicians give the stricken par­ ents no hope of its recovery. The little dog, in whose chase the tot received its terrible injury, was caught by the train, and its head sev­ ered by the cruel wheels, which the little mistress so narrowly escaped. Little Helen, who is just twenty-one months old. is a native of India, hav­ ing lieen born in that far away east­ ern country during the sojodrn of her parents there as missionaries to the natives. The stricken parent-. Lave the most sincere sympathy of the entire com­ munity in their affliction, and every person it the vicinity hopes that the life of the little one may lx? saved. SHOUP FAMILY REUNION. C. H. BROWN DRUGS SCHOOL BOOKS x JEWELRY The Shoup family reunion was held Thursday, August 2»>. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Hawks, three and one-half miles southwest of Nashville, the family gathering to the number of seventy-two, 'those from away being Holister McCartney of Buffalo, N. ¥.. .Mrs. Elizabeth McCartney of Nashville, Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Sundell and daughter of Newaygo, Mr. and Mrs. Lett Moore and daughter, Mrs. Roy.

Burkerl of Grand Rapids. The day was very pleasantly s|>ent by the old­ er people in recalling by-gone days, and by the young people in games and music and last, but not least, was the spreading of a very bountiful din­ ner upon tables .n the front yard. Then a speech by Sam Shoup, fol­ lowed by having a picture taken of the entire group. All declared it a most enjoyable event. The reunion will be held next year at the home of Walter Clark.

Furniss What might have happened had not the mocking bird whistle at the water works cut loose, nobody knows, but that was what happened' at the close of the sixth inning of the ball game between the married men and single men Tuesday afternoon, and it brought the game to an untimely end. with the score 12 to 7 in favor of the bachellors At some times during the game there were lucid intervals when it threat­ ened to develop into a real game, while at other times it would have made incurables of tbe most promis­ ing patients at tbe bug'bouse. The bachelors made their twelve scores on nine hits, while the benedicts used six hits, one of them a double, to assemble their seven tallies. The double harness boys started off in the lead, Teeple leading off with a hit, being sacrificed to second by Vance and to third by Glasner, and scoring on a passed ball. They add­ ed another in the second when 'Town­ send got a single, stole second and third, and scored while Irland was be­ ing thrQwn out at-first. They an­ nexed four more in the fonrth on three hits, a passed ball and some food base-running, and Vance got the a st one in the fifth, unassisted, hit­ ting for two bases and scoring from second while the ball was being thrown to all corners of the lot trying to catch him. ■ Tbe lonesomes went along rather to the bad until, the fifth inning, when Vance commenced to show the effects of the terrible strain under which he was working and let down, sending the first three btftters down on bad ones, filling the bases.. He then re­ tired to let Ray Townsend pitch, and the singles took a* liking to Ray's curves right from the start, three hits, an error and a passed ball sending seven of their fleet runners across the pan. Teeple took the slab in the sixth inning and they only made one run off his delivery. When the bachel­ lors took the field for the seventh in­ ning .they had a new catcher,' Otis Gokay taking Mitchell's place, but just then the fire alarm cut loose ami the game was called, inasmuch as all the sj>ectators and most of the players took a hike. The youngsters say it made no difference anyway, es the slaughter was bound to conliuue, but the old boys claim they were “just getting warmed up", “just getting in­ to their stride’’, “catching their sec­ ond wind", and everything like that, and that the game would certainly have come their way had it gone the full distance. It promises to lead to bloodshed in. the near future, so warm are tbe argument-* becoming, unless another game is fixed up to settle the dispute. NUMBER 2 LOCAL NEWS. Colin T.

The railway losses, although not yet known, are believed to reach $4,000,000. Many of the smaller settlements in the state have been wholly destroyed or badly damaged, while the crops everywhere have been ruined. . Gen. Reyes is said to have left his mountain retreat and is going to tbe aid of the people. Reyes has been practically surrounded by government' troops near the mountain town of Ga­ lena for a fortnight.

Mrs. John Gutchess, Queen St., Nashville, Mich., says: ‘‘From per­ sonal experience I know that. Doan’s Kidney Pills are good kidney remedy. I was afflicted with dull, nagging backaches and my kidneys were very sluggish. When Ddan’s Kidney Pills were brought to my attention, 1 procured a box from Furniss’ drug store and commenced their use.

Mrs. Crawford will be better known in this vicinity as Amy Towl, and will no doubt be remembered by many old friends, whom she visited a fear ago. She was,conscious to the ast, leaving loving messages for all of -her old time friends. (Jackson and Battle Creek papers please copy.) Sparks from the smoke stack set fire to tbe roof of the laundry building Tuesday afternoon and the fire, depart­ ment was called out to extinguish the flames. A hole- about.- three feet in diameter was burned in the roof. These little blazes, s» frequent at the laundry, are all right to create a di­ version. but they are a little expen sire, as it costs something every time the department is called out, and be­ sides they give the neighbors a bad scare. Seems as though a spark ar­ rester or some other kind of a muz­ zle ought to be put on the stack. The liltje son of Rev. and Mrs. Kester of Morgan died Saturday inorning from cholera infantum. The family was visiting relatives in Indi­ ana when the little one, who was three years of age. was taken violently ill, and the physician advised them to get him home as quickly as possible, so they came at once, arriving home Fri­ day night. Dr. Shilling was sum­ moned in the night, during the storm, but when he got there the tot was past human aid. passing away about four o’clock. The bereaved parents have the sympathy of the community in their affliction. After September 1, according to Act No. 2*46 of public acts of 1009 it will be unlawful for tobacconists to either sell, manufacture or give away ciga­ rettes or tobacco to persons under twenty-one years of age. Every offence is punished by a fine of not to exceed J50 or a sentence of not more than thirty days. A like penalty may be imposed upon any one harboring miqors for the purpose' of allowing them to smoke the “paper pipes”, unless they be the parents or properly appointed guardians. Boys under age found smoking cigarette* will al­ so lie arrested and punished. Every individual who breathes a word of scandal is an active stock­ holder in a society for the spread of moral contagion. He is instantly punished by nature by having bl’s mental eyes dimmed to sweetness and purity, and his mind deadenedSc the sunlight and glow of charity. There is developed a wondrous, Ingenious perversion of mental vision, by which every act of others is explained and interpreted from the lowest possible motives. They become like certain carrion flies, that pass lightly over aores of rose gardens, to feast on a piece of putrid meat. — From Self-Con­ trol, by William George Jordan. Frank Pember received a serious injury at the table factory Thursday in a rather peculiar manner. He was turning a standard for a pillar table, when a piece of wood split out of the standard and tripped his chisel in such a manner as to throw it up, tbe sharp end of it striking him above the eye and cutting an ugly gash, re­ quiring a number of stitches to close it. Dr. F. F. Shilling was called and found that in addition to the cut, the force of tbe blow had caused a slight concussion, striking as it did just at the top of the nose, between the eyes. Mr. Pember suffered severely for several days, but is improving and if no complications set in will lx? al work again in a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Clark Titmarsh and daughter. Nina, were given a pleas­ ant surprise al the home of Mr. and Mrs. David Kunz Tuesday evening by the young ladies comprising Mrs. Titmarsh’s Sunday school class. A fine pot luck supper was served and an enjoyable time is rej>orted. Later in the evening a reception was given Mr. Titmarsh and family at the Evan­ gelical church, attended by the mem­ bers of the church, and they were pre­ sented; with a set of beautiful silver tea spoons as a token of remembrance. Mr. Titmarsh will leave tomorrow and Mrs. Titmarsh and daughter, Nina, next Monday for their new home at Detroit and will leave many friends here who most sincerely re­ gret to have them go. Mrs. A. G. Curtis of Detroit, repre­ senting the Michigan Children's Home Society of St. Joseph, has been in the village thc past week in the interest of that institution. She spoke to a good­ sized audience at the Methodist church Sunday evening and her remarks were listened to with marked attention.

Each child is visited once every year until it is twenty-one years old, by a representative of the institution, and a careful record is made of its surroundings and progress.

The man was not without percep­ tion; and recognized her state—one in which, he felt assured, he could get very little out of her. She must be strengthened and revived before she would or could respond to the direct catechism he had in store for her. In his own Interest, therefore, more than through any yielding to motives of pity and compassion, he piloted her to a chair by a window and brought her a glass of clear cold water from the filter in the ad joining, room. The cold, fresh breeze- blowing. In her face proved wonderfully fnvlgorating. She let her head sink back upon the cushions of the easy, comfortable leather chair and drank* in the clean air In great deep draughts, with a sense of renewing vigor, both bodily and spiritual. The water helped, too; she dabbled the tip of a ridiculously small handkerchief in it and bathed her throbbing temples. The while. Anisty stood over her. waiting with discrimination if with scant patience. What was to come she neither knew nor greatly cared; but. with an in­ stinctive desire to postpone the inevit­ able moment of trial, she simulated deadly languor for some moments aft­ er becoming conscious of her position; and lay iiassive, long lashes all but touching her cheeks—in which now a faint color was growing—gaze wander­ ing at random out over a dreary' wil­ derness of fiat rectangular roofs, livid In the moonlight, broken by long, straight clefts of darkness in whose deaths lights gleamed faintly.

Incisive as a razor edge, creased the listless trend of her thoughts, "I think we will now get down to business, my lady!" She lifted her lashes, meeting his masterful stare with a look of calm In­ quiry. "Well?" "So you're better now? Possibly It was a mistake to give you that rest, my lady. Still, when one^ a gentle­ man-cracksman—!" He chuclded un-. pleasantly, not troubling to finish his sentence.

E. ROSCOE. FIRST DOOR NORTH OF FARMERS A MERCHANTS BANK ’ are going with the hand car down to the huckleberry plains in Houghton county in the morning and an it is forty mile* down there you had better be on hand early.” Thus spoke a section foreman on the D. S. S. 4 A. to the writer at the close of.a hot Au­ gust day. More to see the country than to procure berries, we accepted tho invitation and daylight found us speeding eastward bound for the. great berry fields of,Houghton county. A fifleen-mile “pump” Drought us to the town of Ewen where a brief stop was made. Ewen is' a typical northern town of about eight hundred people, and I should judge about the same number of cows. At the time of our visit there was about fifty cows roam­ ing the streets and manv of them, after gorging themselves all night on the luxuriant grass in the front.yards and rinsing it down from the slop pails in the back yards, were sleeping off their debauch on the sidewalks. Men pass­ ing along think nothing of jumping four or five cows, and tt»e marshal always comes to Jhe assistance of the ladles; he raps bossy over the head with his billy - and usually succeeds ip getting a raise, but if he fails he takes the lady by the hand and leads her around through the muddy streets —accommodating fellows, those mar­ shals. The presence of so many cows natur­ ally brings all the fiies from the sur­ rounding forests in to town and their presence increases largely the sale of fly poison and in many places the genuine article is sold, but the con­ : spicuous skull and cross bones arealrsent and there being no directions us to how much or how often it should i>e taken, trouble often ensues. There is one thing that a stranger will notice .at once when visiting these northern towns and that is the fine looking schoolhouses, always nicely painted, looking neat and inviting, but the same cannot l>e said of many of the streets and dwellings. ' But "our stay here is brief and we are again “pumping” our way eastward toward the great huckleberry fields. We fly through the little towns of Paynesville, Trout Creek. and Kenton and note some very fine looking farms, the crops looking exceedingly well, es­ pecially spring wheat, buckwheat and potatoes. About noon we arrive nt the hucklelierry plains, and they are so great, so vast and wonderful that it is difficult to accurately describe them. Just imagine, if you will, how it would seem to take a pail on your arm and stroll out in a huckleberry patch as large as the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove combined; no one to drive you out with a club, your right there there is none to dis­ pute. A wild deer may jump up and startle you. a partridge, that is caring for her'youag, fly into your face and act scrappy, a big black liear may suddenly raise up on h|s haunches and look you over, but he is satisfied with the berries he is eating, and if you leave him alone you can both part the best of friends. It is indeed, a vast sea of huckleberries, I can link it to nothing else: way off in the dim ■ distance as far as the eye can see is an occasional jack pine, which much resembles a ship at sea. Whilethere are hundreds of people picking Ijerries it : is possible for a person to spend । hours in the ‘ patch” without seeing anyone. We only saw one person while rambling over the. plains, a middle aged Indian squaw with a ptfppoose strapped upon her back, and it was making the welkin ring. Thtere are berry stations at different- points along the rail road: buyers are on the ground purchasing all the berries Kicked; side tracks have Men laid and undreds of bushels are moved away every day, Chicago and Milwaukee being the principal markets. The bushes stand about three feet high proper, but so laden with fruit that many of them lay flat, on the ground and the picker can often raise them slightly and by hrldlng a dish under them and giving them a vigorous shake secure the most of them. They usually begin to ripen about the mid­ dle of August and last until the mid­ dle of September, and the many teats one sees around the berry stations resembles a great city. While thous­ ands of bushels are picked aud ship­ ped, millions goto waste. But time Is up, and space too, and we can not dwell, but we must say however, that the next time we go berrying it will not be by the hand car route, oh, no. We will take a sleeper, and we must say also that if you love to pick oranges and lemons and hunt crocodiles, it might be .well to go to Florida, but if you want huckleberries and strawberries, or love to hunt bears, wolves, wild cats, lynx or deer, or catch the beautiful speckled polkadotted trout. from their native streams, better come to the northern boundary lines of your own great state—Michigan.

Washington. Sept 4.—"1 Intend to kill some ankkes." said Secretary of the Interior Ballinger last evening, alter his hurried trip from the Pacific coast The remark was made in response to questions relative to the BallingerPiDchot controversy regarding water power plants, the Cunningham Alaska coal entries and other conser­ vation matters. The illustration used by the secretary was drawn from an incident in his own life when, some twenty-odd years ago,’ as a cowboy at Medicine Lodge. Kan., be found the night camp infested with ’•rattlers.■' He then said: “Boys, before r sleep I propose to kill some snakes.” He did kill about a dozen of the reptiles before stretching his blanket over the buffalo grass for a night's rest. ’ “Going to Kill Some Snakes.” Mr. Ballinger refused tp explain the purport of his remark and de­ clined to further discuss the matters in controversy betwen bis depart­ ment and the forestry bureau. “Manifestly," he said "It would be improper for me to talk on the sub­ ject. The heads of the various divi­ sions of the department which are In­ volved In this controversy have all prepared their reports, and I expect to, submit the whole question to the president at an early day. 1 could not, therefore, properly go into- the subject at this time further than to say that my previous knowledge of the situation, together with the infor­ mation I have derived ' to-day* from the perusal of the reports of Messrs. Pierce, Dennett and Schwartz, justi­ fies the statement that this depart­ ment has nothing to fear from the closest scrutiny of the conduct of its »officials. Incidentally, 1 am going to kill some snakes." Going to See President. Mr. Ballinger said that he did not know just when he would go to Bev­ erly, but presumed that he would be there early next week. He spent much of the day in conference with Assistant Secretary Pierce. Commis­ sioner Dennett, Mr. Schwartz and As­ sistant Attorney General Lawler. The remainder of the time was given to the reading of the reports of his subordinates. Mr. Ballinger intimated that he might prepare a report of his own for the public, but said that his course in that respect would depend entirely upon the wishes of the presi­ dent. He had no doubt, however, that a full statement of the entire matter would be given to the public at an early day.

Cook of Brooklyn was being dined and lionized by royalty for the same achievement. Undeniably Yankee grit has con­ quered the frozen north and there has been created a coincidence such as the world will never see again. Two Americans have planted the flag of their country In the land of ice which man has sought to penetrate for four centuries; and each ignorant of the Other’s conquest has flashed within a period of five days a laconic message Ot success to the waiting world. Coak la bls first message to countrymen was brief but non-commit­ tal; Peary was even briefer but spe-. clfic. "Stars end Stripes nailed to the north pole," he said. That was all. but never before have so few words conveyed to a people a greater nfeaning or a greater patriotic satisfaction. Six days ago, on September 1. Dr. Cook sent out from the Shetland Islands the. first message of his suc­ cess—a message which has aroused a storm of controversy around the world. Yesterday Robert E. Peary, lost from view in the land of ice and unheard from since August, 1908. startled the world by a similar mes­ sage sent from Indian Harbor. Labra­ dor. There was no qualification; It left no doubt. It announced un­ equivocally that he had reached the top of the world. Thus two flags with the Stars and Stripes of, the United States are floating in the ice packs proving the courage of the Intrepid Americans. Made Discovery April 6. I April 6. 1909—the date that Peary ' planted the flag at the pole—and April 21. 1908. the date that Dr. Cook ■ unfurled the Stars and Stripes, a year . before, consequently become the car-' ! <11 n a I dates upon Which exploration of the far north will rest hereafter. Though separated by nearly a year, the same feat was accomplished by two Americans neither of whom was aware of the movements of the other. Cook says that he found no traces of Peary in the Dloving ice, and whether the American naval commander found any Indications that the Brooklyn physician had preceded him farthest north must remain unsolved until an account of his experiences is obtained from Peary's lipa. Just as Dr. Cook notified bis wife, so Commander Peary took advantage of the brief stop at Indian Harbor to assure Mrs. Penry of his safety. This message, almost overlooked during a day of excitement over his achieve­ ment, reached New York from South Harpswell, Me., where Mis. Peary has been spending the summer. Found No Trace of Cook. St Johns, N. F., Sept. 7.—Command­ er Robert E. Peary, who announced that be had discovered the north pole on April 6 of the present year, found no trace of Dr. Frederick A. Cook of Brooklyn, who reported to the world six days ago that he had made the same discovery in. April of the pre­ ceding year. This news reached here through Capt. Robert Bartlett of the Roosevelt, Peary’s ship, en ’ route to Chateau bay. Labrador. Capt. Bartlett telegraphed to rela­ tives here that Peary had found noth­ ing to indicate that Dr. Cook had reached the pole. While Peary does not expressly repudiate Dr. Cook’s contention in so many words, his statement may have an important bearing upon determining the extent of Cook’s explorations. * MASACRE CREW OF to receive the two highest possible official tokens within Its gift.

Hopes Peary Found Tube. Asked if there was any probability of Peary's having found the tube con­ taining his records. Dr. Cook replied: "I hope so, but that Is doubtful on ac­ count of the drift." Dr. Cook added: 1 “Commander Peary would have reached the pole this year, probably while I was there. Last year 9 his route was several hundred miles oast of mine. We are rivals, of course, but the pole Is good enough for two.” “That two men got to the pole along different paths.” continued the explor­ er, "should furnish large additions to I scientific knowledge. Probably other | parties will reach It tn the next ten i years, since every explorer is helped by the experience ot his predecessors, just as Sverdrup’s observations and reports were of immeasurable help to me. I can say nothing more, without knowing further details, than that I am glad ot it.” While Dr. Cook was conversing casually earlier in the day with Amer­ ican friends the possibility of the de­ nouement which electrified the world was coughingly suggested.

Dear Ones at Home:— This very warm afternoon reminds me of our Michigan weather at home, and as I sit here in the shade of a large palm tree, will write you of some of the interesting features of southern California. Pasadena, with its groves of oranges and lemons, its beautiful pep­ per trees, which take the place of our maples at home, the.palms and many : --------v Sowers, is certainly a ••Haven of o'f Rest”. We have visited many cities since we left home, yet none seem so peaceful and restful. So much wealth and refinement have certainly made it a paradise of verdure. Each and every street seems so beautiful and the stately mountains at the north of us, which are about seven miles away, add to the grandeur of the location. ’ At the west end of the city, beyond Orange Grove Avenue, is the large Arroyo, where we often go to watch the sunset. The shadow in the valleys between the mountains, the beautiful trees about us, and the birds singing their evening songs, make it a grand sight. The past week being exceptionally warm, we have spent at Long Beach and Catalina Islands. At the islands we took a trip to the Marine Gardens in a large glass bottom teat. The Monday the home team played a 1 don.ble-beader with the Majesties, a 1 fast semi-pro. team of Grand Rapids, I and while they were not as lucky as | the Detroits. they plaved every meh of the way and made the Majesties ex-1 lend themselves some to win the first | game, which they did bv a score of 8 to 6. There is not much to say about the first game, except that the home boys had several different oppor­ tunities to win, but the batter was un­ able to deliver a hit. Scheldt pitched a good game and deserved to have won. but the Majestic pitcher was just a little bit too milch fori-tbe home boys. Nashville started out like a winner by putting two tallies over, which would have been enough to win the game except for wild throws in the fifth, because by some really daring base running they annexed three in the ninth. The Majesties did not de­ serve more titan three runs altogether, and should not have had them either. They did a lot of “rag chewing’’ that was senseless, and might better have been omitted. The score of the first game: NASHVILLE— AB H “ R “ A O E Our prices make competitors take to the woods and customers rejoice.

And watched with absolute indifference the lines of agony grave themselves upon her smooth unwrinkled forehead, and the color leave her cheeks, ns the pain grew too exquisite.

He dropped her hand with an oath and springing to bis feet drew bis revolver; then, with a glance at the girl, who was silently weeping, tears of pain rolling down her cheeks, mouth set in a thin pale line of de­ termination. strode out and shut the door after him. As It closed the girl leaped to her feet, maddened with torture, wild eyes easting about the room for a weapon of some sort, of offense or defense; for she could not have endured the tortore an instant longer. If forced to it. to fight, fight she would. If only she bad something, a stick of wood, to defend herself with. But there was nothing, nothing at all. The room was a typical office, well but severely furnished. The rug that covered the tile floor was of rich quality and rare design. The neutraltinted walls wore bare, but for a couple ot steel engravings in heavy •wooden frames. There were three heavily upholstered leather arm-chairs and one revolving desk-chair; a roll­ top desk, against the partition wall, a waste-paper basket, and a flat-topped desk, or tabla. And that was all. Or not quite all, else the office equip­ ment had not been complete. There was the telephone! But'he would hear! Or was the par­ tition sound-proof? As if in contradiction of the sugges­ tion, there came to her ears very clear­ ly the sound of the hall door creaking on Its hinges, and then a man's voice, shrill with anger and anxiety. "You fool! Do you want to ruin us both? What do you mean—" The door crashed to, Interrupting the protest and drowning Anisty’s Mply. . “I was passing,’’ the new voice took up its plaintive remonstrance, “and the watchman called me In and said that you were telephoning for me—" “Damn the Interfering fool!” Inter­ rupted Anlsty. "But what's this insanity, Anlsty? What’a this about a woman ? What—” The new-comer's tones ascended a high scale of fright and rage. "Lower your voice, you ass!" the burglar responded, sternly. "Aud—” He took his own advice; and for a Utile time the Conference was con­ ducted tn guarded tones that did not penetrate the dividing wall save as a deep rumbling alternating with an im­ passioned squeak. But long ere this had come to pass the girl was risking all at the tele­ phone. Receiver to ear she was im­ ploring centra! to connect her with Ninety-elght-nlne Madison. If only she might get Maitland, tell him where the jewels were hldd-n. warn him to re­ move them—then ahe could escape further suffering by open confession. "What number?” camo central's lan­ guid query, after a space. "Did you say nine-ought-nine-eight?" "No, no, central. Nlne-o-eight-ulne Madison, please, and hurry—hurry!" “Ah, I'm ringin’ ’em.

Maitland recalled that sud­ den clatter of hoofs in the street, and he had only to make a trip to the window to verify his suspicion that the cab Was gone. She -had simply overheard his concluding remarks to the cabby, and taken pardonable ad­ vantage of them. Maitland had footed the bill. She was welcome to that, however. He, Maitland, was well rid of the whole damnable business. Yes, jewels and all! What were the jewels to him? Be­ yond their sentimental associations, he did not hold them greatly In prise. Of course, since they had been worn by his mother, he would spare no ex­ pense or effort to trace and re-collect them, for that dim sainted memory’s sake. Buv In this case, at least, the traditional usage of the Maltlands would never be carried out. It had been faithfully observed when, after his mother's death, the stones had been removed from their settings and stored away; but now they would never be reset, even should he con­ trive to reassemble them, to adorn the bride of the Maitland heir. For he would never marry. Of course' not Maitland was young enough to be­ lieve. and to extract a melancholy satIfcatlon from. this. Puzxled and saddened, his mind harked back forever to that carking question: Why had ahe returned? What had brought her back to the flat? It she and Anlsty were confed­ erate*. as one was inclined at times to believe—If such were the case, Anlsty had the jewels, and there was nothing else of any particular value so per­ sistently to entice such expert and ac­ complished burglars back to his fiat. What else had they required of him? His peace of mind was nothing that they could turn into cash; and they seemed to have reaved him of nothing "You needn't"—grimly. bring you In any money." "But Maitland—" . "Is out O’Hagan answered the ’phone. Don't you understand?" “But he may return!” “That’s his lookout. I'm sorry for him If he does.” Anlsty produced the revolver from his pocket, and twirled the cylinder significantly. "I owe Mr. Maitland something,” he said, nodding to the white-faced girl by the table, "and I shouldn't be sorry to—” "And what," broke in the new-comer, “what am I going to do meanwhile?” "Devil the bit I care! Stay here and keep this impetuous female from calling up police headquarters, for a good guess. Speaking of which, I think we had best settle this telephone busi­ ness once and for all.” The burglar turned again to the desk and began to work over the in­ strument with a small screw-driver which he produced from his coat pocket, talking the while. "Our best plan, my dear Banner­ man, Is for you to come with me, at least as far as the nearest corner. You can watt there, if you’re too cow­ ardly to go the limit, like a man. I’ll get the loot and join you. and we can make a swift hike for the first train that goes farthest out of town. A pity, for we’ve done pretty well, you and I, old boy; you with your social entree and bump of locality to locate the spoils, me with my courage and skill to lift ’em, and an equitable division. Oh, don’t worry about her. Banner­ man! She's as deep tn It as either of us, only she happens to be senti­ mental, and an outsider on this deal. She won’t blab. Besides, you're ruined anyway, as far as New York's But they had that; unquestionably concerned. Come along. That’s fin­ they had taken that. ished; she won’t send any important And still the riddle haunted him: messages over that wire to-night. I Why had she come back that night? And, whatever her reason, had she "My dear young lady!" Rising and come in Anisty’s company, or alone? One minute it seemed patent beyond was positively a*- But It was all inexplicable. Event­ ually Maitland shook his bead, to sig­ nify that he gaVe it up. There was I but one thing to do—to put It out of mind. He would read a bit, compose himself, go to bed. Preliminary to doing, so, be would take steps to Insure the flat against further burglarising, for that night at least. The draught moving through the hall stirred the portiere and re­ minded him that the window in the trunkroom was still open, an invita­ tion to any enterprising sneak-thief or second-story man. So Maitland went to close and make it fast As he Shut down the window-sash and clamped the catch he trod on something soft and yielding. Wonder­ ing, he stooped and picked it up. and carried it back to the light. It proved to be the girl’s hand-bag. "Now," admitted Maitland In a tone of absolute candor, "I am damned. How In the dickens did this thing get there, anyway? What was. she doing in my trunk- closet?" Was ft possible that she had fol­ lowed Anlsty out of the flat by that route? A very much mystified young man sat himself down again tn front of his desk, and turned the bag over and over in his hands, keenly scrutin­ izing every inch ot it, and ‘ whistling softly. , . That year the fashion in purses was for capacious receptacles of grained leather, nearly square tn shape, and furnished with a chain handle. This which Maitland held was conspicu­ ously of the mode—neither too large, nor too small, constructed of fine soft leather of a gun-metal shade, with a frame-work and chain of gunmetal itself. It was new and seemed wellfilled. weighing a trlfla heavy In the hand. One face was adorned with a monogram of cut gun-metal, the In­ itials "S" and “G” and "L" Interlaced. But beyond this the bag was irritat­ ingly non-committal. Undoubtedly. If one were to go to the length qf unsnapping the little, frail clasp, one would acquire informa­ tion; by such facile means would much light be shed upon the darkness. But Maitland put a decided negative to the suggestion. No. He would give her the benefit of the doubt. He would wait, he would school himself lo patience. Perhaps she would come back for it—and ex­ plain. Perhaps he could find her by advertising it—and get an explana­ tion. Pending which, he could wait a little while. It was not his wish to pry Into her secrets, even if—even if— it was something to be smoked over. Strange bow it affected him to have in his hands something that she had owned and touched! Opening a drawer of the desk, Mait­ land produced an aged pipe. A brazen jar, companion piece to the ash re­ ceiver, held his tobacco. He filled the pipe from the jar. with thoughtful de­ liberation. And scraped a match be­ neath his chair and Ignited the tobac­ co and puffed In contemplative con­ tentment. deriving solace from each mouthful of grateful, evanescent in­ cense. Meanwhile he held the charred match between thumb and forefinger. Becoming conscious of this fact, he smiled In deprecation of his absent­ minded mood, looked for the ash-re­ ceiver. discovered it in place, inverted, beneath the book; and frowned, re­ membering. Then, with an Impatient gesture—Impatient of his own in­ firmity of mind—for he simply could not forget the girl—he .dropped the match, swept the book aiide, lifted the bowl. After a moment of incredulous awe, the young man rose, with eyes a-light and a jubilant song in the heart of him. Now he knew, now un­ derstood. now believed, and now was justified of his faith! After which depression came, with the consciousness that she was gone, forever remc.ed beyond his reach and influence: and that bv her own 7!

Things were progressing favorably, when one day Margery was heard to say with considerable heat: "Anyhow,if some one is bound to marry Miss Dare, I do hope it will be Mr. Lee. I always have liked ’em best with light hair in fairy tales.** As it happened. Peggy had always been keenly partial .to dark-haired he­ roes. and Mr. Jeffreys' choice-of can­ dy being piuch to her taste,-she loy­ ally waged a wordy war in his de­ fense.

Miss Dare showed a surprising willingness to discuss each In turnxwlth studied impartiality. There came a morning—a Thursday morning—when, contrary to her usual custom, Miss Dare received Margery and Peggy in her own rooms up­ stairs. Soon she was conscious of two pairs of eager eyes regarding a profusion of violets about the room. This discovery was rapidly followed by the Question: "Oh, who sent the lovely violets. Miss Dare?" Victoria hesitated a moment, then laughingly answered: "Why, dear, the Wednesday night man.” For a time the enmity of Margery and Peggy was at rest, and they again had a common interest—the mysteri­ ous Wednesday night man. Miss Dare, however, evinced a supreme indiffer­ ence to such an interesting subject. At last they came to the conclusion that she didn't care a bit for him.

But there came a time when both agreed that grown-up people really did the most unexpected things: for both the red and the pink roses ceased to come, and the florist seemed to know nothing but violets. Again Margery and Peggy took up a common cause, and this time it was that of the Wednesday night man. American Lady Shoe WANT COLUMN How about your heating, plumbing and tin work?

Mr. Len Feigbner,Editor of The Nashville News, As we were requested by a number of our friends to write after reaching our destination in “Sunny Color­ ado’’, we will endeavor to say a few words to all through the columns of The News, And the kindness of Its editor. We left Nashville August 0, and after several hours’ riding and wait­ ing we found ourselves passing through Battle Creek, jqst eighteen miles from our old home. Arriving in the “Windy City” at 9:30 p. m. and leaving by tbe Burlington at 11 p. m. for Hudson, Colo., the - home of our daughter. The ride through Iowa and Nebras­ ka was very warm and dusty. Crops west of the Missouri river look ex­ ceedingly well, but east of the river there appears to have been too much rain. On the morning of August 11 we were traveling.lhrough the grazing lands of Colorado. Dry, rolling prairies'-with an occasional irrigated section, giving one an idea of how this land may be made to produce when it is possible to supply it with plenty of water. All stock we saw coked well, this being a good year for pasture. August 11. at 8 a. m. we arrived at the home of our son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Jamison. Hudson is a new but thriving little town of abbut two hundred inhabi­ tants. It is located in the heart of twu irrigation districts, and when water is supplied, will make one of the best towns in the Sunshine state. Large reservoirs are now under con­ struction and ditches leading there­ from. to Carry water to many hun­ dreds of acres of heretofore arid land. The absence of trees makes it appear desolate to one coming from a wood­ ed country. Where there is irriga­ tion, trees surround every ranch house. As far as we are concerned, we would not care to locate perma­ nently at Hudson, though for a .younger person the opportunities are considered good. On the morning of August 20 we left for Lyons, forty-eight miles northwest from Denver in the foot hil* of the Rockies. To the east of Lyons are some of the finest ranches in the state, and to the west are mountain homes and pleasure resorts. Twenty miles from Lyons in the mountains is Estes Park, noted as one of the beauty spots of the United States. There is auto stage service twice every day be­ tween Lyons and the park, autos mak­ ing the trip to the park in about two hours, over very steep grades. We have purchased a ten acre tract, one mile from town, on the north fork of the St. Vrain river, a stream fed by tbe melting snow of the .main range, and there expect to make our future home. There are sixty fruit trees on the place, and^lhis year there is an abundant crop of plums and ap­ ples. We have R. F. D. twice a day by auto and think that is going some. 'The days are quite warm, but tbe ulghU &ra delightfully cool. The winters are as a rule mild, with only* a few weeks of real winter. The air is pure and bracing, in this respect quite different from Michigan, as a hot and damp air is unknown here. There is an average of three hundred and fifty days of sunshine every year, making Colorado much sought as a health resort.

The wonderful success of this method fror| the start has caused some of the most noted chemists to turn their attention to this work, until'today it has reached a point of perfection that is of Vital importance in determining the proper treatment to give. The van Bysterveid Medicine Co., Ltd., whose doctors treat many thous­ and patients each year, use-this method at all times, and their success is due Jn a great measure to the ex­ pert Analysis as given by their famed chemist, A. W. Van Bysterveid, who has not only spedt years in study and experiments, but has had the benefit of a practical experience in making diagnoses lor the host of people who have been successfully restored to health. The ex}>ert physicians of this company with' their thorough knowl­ edge of the organs of lhe body, and the effect of different medicines unon different ailments have established a most enviable reputation for siieedy and permanent relief to suffering . humanity.

Salves and greasy lotions may give temporary relief, but they have not the power to destroy the germ life. ZEMO, a clean liquid for external use will draw to the surface and destroy the germ life, .leaving a clean healthy skin.

"Shure, sor. an* wud that be hosphltlble?" ■ Laughing, Maitland bade him good tnight and left the house, turning west to gain Fifth avenue, walking slowly because he was a little tired, and en­ Joying the rather unusual experience of being abroad at that hour without company. The sky seemed cleaner than ordinarily, the city quieter than ever he had known it, and In the air was a sweet smell, reminiscent of the country-side—reminding one unhappi­ ly of the previous night when one had gone whistling to one's destiny along a perfumed country road. “Good 'eavings. Mister Maitland, sir! It carn't be you!” . Maitland looked up. bewildered for the Instant. The voice that hailed him out of the sky was not unfamiliar. A cab that he had waited on the corner to let pass, was reined back suddenly. The driver leaned down from the box and In a thunderstruck tone advertised his stupefaction. “It aren't In nature, sir—If yer’ll pardon my mentionin' it. But 'ere I leaves you not ten minutes ago at the 8L Luke building and finds yer 'ere, when you ’aven't ’ad time—” Maitland woke up. "What's that?" he questioned, sharply. "You left me where ten minutes—?’’ “St. Luke bulldin*, corner Broadway an’—" “I know It." excited, “but—’’ •’—’avln’ took yer there with the young lady—’’ “Young lady!" ”—that comes outer the ’ouse with yer, sir—’’ “The devil!" Maitland hesitated no longer; his foot was on the step as b« ■poke. '.'Drive me there at once, and drive for all you're worth!" he cried. “If there’s an ounce of speed in that plug of yours and you don't get it out—-” “Never fear, sir! We’ll make it In five minutes!" “It'll be worth your while.” “Rlght-O!" Maitland dropped into his scat, dumfounded. “Good Lord!" he whis­ pered; and then, savagely; “In the power of that Infamous scoundrel—!" And felt of the revolver in his pocket. The cab had been headed north; the St Luke rears its massive bulk south of Twenty-second street. The driver expertly swung his vehicle almost on dead center. Simultaneously It ca­ reened with the Impact of a heavy bulk landing upon the step and falling in a heap on the deck. “My worrd, what's that?" came from aloft. Maitland was altogether too startled to speak. The heap sat up, resolving Itself into the semblance of a man; who spoke In decisive tones: “If yeh’re goin’ there, I’m goln' with yeh. ’r yeh don’t go—see?" “The sleuth!" gasped Maitland, as­ tounded. “Ah, cut that, can’t yeh?" Hickeygot on all fours, found his cig?r, stuck it in *h!s mouth, and fell into place at Maitland's side. "Hickey, I mean. But how—” “If yeh’re Maitland, 'nd Anisty's at the St. Luke buildin', tell that fool up there to drive!" Maitland had no need to lift the trap; the cabby had already done that. “All right,” the young man called. "It’s Detective Hickey. Drive on!" Th$ lash leaped out over the roof— cr-rack!—and the horse, presumably convinced that no speed other than a dead-run would ever again be de­ manded of It, tore frantically down the avenue, the hansom rocking like a top­ sail-schooner in a heavy gale. Maitland and the detective were bat­ tered against the side and back of the vehicle and slammed against one an­ other with painful regularity. Undersuch circumstances speech was diffi­ cult; yet they jnanaged to exchange a few sentences. "Yeh gottuh gun?" "Anlsty’s—two good cartridges." "Jus' as well Fm along. 1 guess." And again: “How’d yeh s'pose An­ lsty got this cab?" . "I don’t know—must've been in the house—I told cabby to wait—Anlsty seems to have walked out right on your heels." “Hell!" And a- moment later: "What's this about a woman In the case?" ' Maitland took swift thought on her behalf. "Too long to go into now," he parried the query. “You help me catch this scoundrel Anlsty and I'll put in a good word for you with the deputy commissioner.” , “Ah. yeh help me nab him," grunted the detective, "'nd I won't need no good word with nobody." The hansom swung Into Brqadway, going like a whirlwind; and picked up an uniformed officer in front of the Flatiron building, who. shouting and using his locust stridently, sprinted after them. A block further down an­ other fell into line; and he it was who panted at the step an instant after the cab had lurched to a stop before ,the entrance to. the St. Luke building. Hickey .had rolled out before the policeman had a chance to bluster. " 'Lo, Bergen,” he greeted the man. “Yeh know, me—I'm Hickey, central office. Yeh’re jus' in time. Anisty's In this buildin'—'r was ten minutes ago. We want all the help we c'n get.” By way of reply the officer stooped and drummed a loud alarm on the sidewalk with his night-stick. “Say." he panted, rising, "you're a wonder. Hickey—If you get him.” "Uh-huh," grunted the detective with a sidelong glance at Maitland. "C’m ’long.” The lobby of the building was quite deserted as they entered, the night­ watchman Invisible, the night elevator on its way to the roof—as was discov­ ered by consultation of the Indicator dial above the gate. Hickey punched, the night call bell savagely. "Me 'nd him.” he said, jerking the free thumb at Maitland. ” 'll go up and hunt dim out. Begin at th* top floor an' work down. That's th' way. huh? ’Nd." to the policeman, "yeh stay here an' hold up anybody 't tries tuh leave th' buildin'. There ain't no other en­ trance. I s'pose. what?" "Basement door an' ash lift’s round th' corner." responded the officer. "But that had ought tuh be locked, night." . "Well, 'f anybody else comes along yeh put him there, anyway, for luck. What 'n hell's th' matter with this elevator?” " The detective settled a pudgy Index­ Anger on the push button and elicited a far. thin.'shrill peal from the an­ nunciator above. But the indicator ar­ row remained as motionless as the car at the top of the shaft Another sum­ mons gained no response, in likewlsu, and a third was also disregarded. Hickey stepped back, face black as a storm-cloud, summed up his opinion of the management of the building in one soul-blistering phrase, produced his bandana and used It vigorously, uttered a libel on the ancestry of the ‘night-watchman and the likes of him. and turned to give profane welcome to the policeman who had noticed'the cab at Twenty-third street and who now panted in. blown and perspiring. Much to hts disgust he found himself assigned to stand guard over the base­ ment exits, and waddled forth again into the street Meanwhile the first officer to arrive upon the scene was taking his turn at agitating the button and shaking the gates; and with no more profit of his undertaking than Hickey. After a minute or two of it he acknowledged defeat with an oath, and turned away to browbeat the straggling vanguard of belated wayfarers—messenger boys, slatternly drabs, hackmen. loaf­ ers, and one or two plain citizens con­ spicuously out of their reputable grooves—who were drifting in at the entrance to line the lobby walls with blank, curious faces. Forerunners of that mysterious rabble which is ap­ parently precipitated out of the very air by any extraordinary happening in city streets, if allowed to remain they would in five minutes have waxed in numbers to the proportions of an un­ manageable mob; and the policeman, knowing Lb I a. art , shn„t rtUu^ing They wavered and fell back, grombling diwwntentedly; and Maitland, his anxiety temporarily distracted by the turiae they made, looked round to find his erstwhile cabby at hla elbow. Of whom the sight was inspiration. Ever thoughtful. ner*?r unmindful of her whose Influence held him in- this cull, he laid an arresting hand on the man’s sleeve. . •‘You've got your cab—?" "Ylasir. right boutside.'’ “Prive round the corner, away from the crowd, and wait for me. If shea­ the young lady,—comes without me, drive her anywhere she tells you and come to my rooms to-morrow morning for your pay.” "Thankee, sir." Maitland turned-back, to find the situation round the elevator shaft in statu quo. Nothing had happened, save that Hiekey's rage and vexation had increased mightily. "But why don’t you go up after him?” "How 'n biases can I?" Exploded the detective. "He’s got th' night car. ’F I takes the stairs, he comes down by _th' shaft, 'nd how'm I tuh trust this here mutt?” He indicated his associ­ ate but humbler custodian of the peace with a disgusted gesture. “Perhaps one of*ti)e other cars will run—” Maitland suggested. . "Ab, they're all dead ones,” Hickey disagreed with disdain as the young man moved down the row of gates, try­ ing one after another. “Yeh’re only wastin’—” . He broke off with a snort as Mait­ land. somewhat to his own surprise, managing to move the gate of the third shaft from the night elevator, stepped into the darkened car and groped for the controller. Presently bls fingers encountered It, and he moved It cautiously to one side. A vicious blue spark leaped hissing from the controller-box and the cage bounded up a dozen feet, and wasronly* restrained from its ambition to soar skywards by an instantaneous release of the lever. • By discreet manipulation Maitland worked the car down to the street floor again, and Hickey, with a grunt that might be interpreted as an apol­ ogy* for his incredulity, jumped in. "Let 'er rip!” be cried, exultantly. “Fan them folks out intuh th’ street, Bergen, 'nd watch ow-ut!” Maitland was pressing the lever slowly wide of its catch, and the lighted lobby dropped out of sight while the detective was still shouting admonitions to the police below. Grad­ ually gaining momentum the car began to shoot smoothly up into the black­ ness. safety chains clanking beneath the floor. Hickey fumbled for the electric light switch but. finding It, im­ mediately shut the glare off again and left the car in darkness. “Safer,” he explained, sententious. ’’Anlsty 'll shoot, 'nd they says he shoots straight." Floor after floor in ghostly s’rata slipped silently down before their eyes. Half-way to the top. approxi­ mately. Hickey’s voice rang sharply in the volunteer operator's ear. “Stop ’er! Hold ’er steady. T'other’s cornin' down.” Maitland obeyed, managing the car with greater ease and less jerkily as he began to understand ’he principle of the lever. The cage paused in the black shaft, and he looked upward. Down the third shaft over, the other cage was dropping like a plummet, a block of golden light walled In by black filigree-work and bisected verti­ cally by the black line of the guide­ rail. "Stop that there car!" Hickey’s stentorian command had no effect: the block of light continued to fall with unabated speed. The detective wasted no more breath. As the other car swept past, Maitland was shocked by a report and flash beside him.. Hickey was using his revolver. The detonation was answered by a cry. a scream of pain, from the lighted cage. It paused on the instant, like a bird stricken a wing, some four floors below, but at once resumed Its downward swoop. "Down, down! After 'em!” Hickey bellowed. “1 dropped one, by God! T'other can’t—" “How many in the car?" Interrupted Maitland, opening the lever with a firm and careful hand. "Only two, same's us. I hit th' feller what was runnln’ It—” "Steady!" cautioned Maitland, de­ creasing the speed, as the car ap­ proached the lower floor. Tht other had beaten them down; but its arrival at the street level was greeted by a short chorus of mad yells, a brief fusillade of shots—perhaps five In all—and the clang of the gate. Then, like a ball rebounding, the cage swung upwards again, hurtling at full speed. Evidently Anlsty had been received in force which he- had not bargained for. Maitland Instinctively, reversed the lever and sent his own car upward again, slowly, waiting for the other to overtake It. Peering down through the Iron lattice-work he could indis­ tinctly observe the growing cube of light, with a dark a^ape lying buddled in one corner of the floor. A second figure, rapidly taking shape as Anisty's, stood by the controller, braced against the side of the car. one hand on the lever, the other poising a shining thing, the flesh-colored oval of his face turned upwards In a supposititious at­ tempt to discern the location of the dark car. Hickey, by firing prematurely, lent him adventitious aid. The criminal re­ plied with spirit, aiming at the flash, his bullet spattering against the back wall of the shaft. Hickey's next bullet rang with a bell-like note against the mettaUwork. Anlsty'■ presumably want wSd.-<b-,uth M.nl.ad ooold hara Maitland needed no admonition to pursue; his blood was up, hts heart singing with* the lust of the man-bunt. Yet Anlsty was rapidly leaving them, his car soaring at an appalling pace. Towards the top ho .evidently made some attempt to slow up. but either he was ignorant of the management of the lever, or else the thing had got beyond control. The cage rammed the buffers with a crash that echoed through the sounding halls like a peal of thunder-claps; it was instantane­ ously plunged Into darkness. There followed a splintering and rending sound, and Maitland, heart in mouth, could make out dimly a dark, falling shadow in the further shaft. Yet ere ft had descended a score of feet the safety-clutch actsd and, with a third tremendous jar, shaking the building, Oatmeal is the Cereal beefsteak- It is the very thing that produces the finest meat on. cattle.

Hickey add Maitland were then some five floors .below. ’’Stop 'er at 19," or­ dered the detective. There was a lilt of exultancy In his voice. “Wo got him now. all right, ail right. He’ll try to get down by—There!" Overhead the crash of a gate forced open was followed by . a. scurry of footsteps over the tiling. "Stop 'er and we’ll head Maitland shut off the power as the car reached the nineteenth floor. Hickey opened the gate and jumped out. "Shut that,” he commanded, sharply, as Maitland followed him, "in case he gets past us." H« paused a moment in thought, heavy head on bull-neck drooping for­ ward as he stared toward the rear of the building. He was fearless and re­ sourceful. for all his many deficiencies. Maitland found time, quaintly enough, to regard him with detached curiosity a rare animal, illustrating all that was best and worst in his order. Endowed with exceptional courage, his ad­ dress In emergencies seemed alto­ gether admirable. "Yeh guard them stairs." he decided, suddenly. “1'11 run through this hall, 'nd see what's doing. Don’t hesitate to shoot if he tries to jump yeh." And was gone, clumping briskly down the corridor to the rear. . Maitland, yielding the Initiative to the other's superior generalship, stood sentinel, revolver in hand, until the detective returned, overheated and sweating, from' his tour, to report "nothin' doin’." with characteristic brevity. He hod the same report to make on both the twentieth and twen­ ty-first floors, where the same pro­ cedure was observed; but as the latter was reached unexpected and very wel­ come reinforcements were gained by the arrival of a third car. containing three patrolmen and one roundsman. Yet numbers created delay; Hickey was seized and compelled to pant ex­ planations. to his supreme disgust. And, suddenly impatient beyond en­ durance. Maitland left them and alone sprang up the stairs. That this was simple foolhardiness may be granted without dispute. But it must be borne in mind that he was very young and ardent, very greatly perturbed on behalf of an actor in the tragedy in whom the police, to their then knowledge, had no interest whatsoever. And If in the heat of chase he bad for an Instant forgotten her, now he remembered; and at once the capture of Anisty was relegated to the status of a matter of secondary importance. The real matter at stake was the safety of the girl whom Anlsty, by exercise of an Infernal in­ genuity that passed Maltland's com­ prehension, had managed to spirit into this place of death and darkness and whispering balls. Where she might be, in what degree of suffering and danger—these were the considerations that sent hm in search of her without a thought of personal peril, but with a sick heart and overwhelmed with a stifling sense of anxiety. More active than the paunch-bur­ dened detective, he had sprinted down and back through the hallway of thetwenty-second floor, without discover­ ing anything, ere the police contingent had reached an agreement and the stairhead. There remained two more floors, two final flights. A little hopelessly be swung up the first And as he did so the blackness above him was riven by a tongue of fire, and a bullet/ singing past his head, flattened itself with a vicious spat against the marble dado of the walls, instinctively be pulled up, finger closing upon the trigger of his revolver; flash and report fol­ lowed the motion, and a panel of ribbed glass tn a door overhead was splintered and fell in clashing frag­ ments, ail but drowning the sound of feet in flight upon the unoer staircase. BOSTON NEW HAVEN PITTSBURGH NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA ALBANY ST. LOL’iS A clamor of caution, warning, en­ couragement. and advice broke out from the police below. But Maitland hardly heard. Already he was again in pursuit, taking the steps two at a leap. With a hand upon the newel­ post he swung round on the twentythird floor, and hurled hlmseif toward -the foot of the last flight. A crash like a rifle-shot rang out above, and for a second he fancied that Anisty had fired again and with a heavier weapon. But immediately he realized that the noise had been only the slam­ ming of the door at the bead of the stairs—the door whose glazed panel loomed above him, ahedding a diffused light to guide his footsteps. Its opales­ cent surface lettered with the nariie of HENRY M. BANNERMAN. Attorney « Counselor-at-Law, the door of the office whose threshold he had so often crossed to meet a friend and adviser. It was with a shock that he comprehended this, a thrill of wonder. He had all but for­ gotten that Bannerman owned an of­ fice in the building. In the rush, the urge of this wild adventure. Strange that Anisty should have chosen It for the scene of his last stand—strange, and strangely fatal for the criminal! For Maitland knew that from this eyrie there was no means of escape, other than by the stairs. Well and good! Then they had the man, and— The thought was flashing In his mind, illumining the darkness of __ Mi despair with the hope that he would be able to force a word as to the girl's whereabouts from the burglar ere the police arrived; Maltland's foot was on the upper step, when a scream of mortal terror—her voice!—broke from within. Half maddened, he threw him­ self bodily against the door, twisting the knob with frantic fingers that slipped upon its immovable polished surface. The bolt had been shot. he was barred out, and, with only the width of a man's hand between them, the girl was in deathly peril and terror. A sob that was at the same time an oath rose to his lips. Baffled, helpless, he fell back, tears of rage starting to bls eyes, >her accents ringing in his ears as terribly pitiful a< the cry of a lost and wandering soul. “God!" he mumbled incoherently, and in desperation sent the pistol-butt crashing against the glass. It was tough, stubborn; the first blow scarce­ ly Cawed it As he redoubled bls ef­ forts to shatter It, Hickey’s hand, shot over his shoulder to aid him. . . . • CHICAGO And with ftartling abruptness the barrier seemed to dissolve before their eyes, the glass falling Inward with: * !a shrill clatter. Quaintly, with the effect of a pic­ ture cast i>J' _a cinematograph in a darkened auditorium, therd leaped upon Maitland’s field of vision the pic­ ture of Anlsty standing at bay, face drawn and tense, lips curled back.*, eyes lurid with defiance and despair. He stood, poised upon the balls of' his feet, like a cat ready to spring. In the doorway between the inner and outer offices. He raised his hand with an Indescribably swift - and vicious' gesture, and a flame seemed to blase, out from his finger-tips. At the same instant Hickey's weapon spat by Maitland's cheek; the young man felt the hot furnace breath of it. The burglar reeled as though from a tremendous blow. His inflamed fea­ tures were suddenly whitened, and his right arm dropped limply from the shoulder, revolver falling from fingers involuntarily relaxing. Hickey covered him. “Surrender!" For he roared. And fired again. Anlsty had gone to his knees, reachIng for the revolver with his unin­ jured arm. The detective's second bullet winged 1 through the doorway, over Anisty's head, and bit-through the outer winj dow.

The burglar’s answer­ Ing shot ex pended .itself as harmlessly as Maitland's. Both went wide of their marks. And of a sudden Hickey bad drawn the bolt, and the body of police be­ hind forced Maitland pell-mell into the room. As he recovered he saw Hickey hurling himself at the criminal's throat —one second too late. True to his pledge never to be taken alive, Anisty had sent bls last bullet crashing through his own skull. A cry of horror and consternation forced itself from Maltland’s throau The police halted, each where he stood, transfixed.

In fact there was nothing else to do, for ail roofings were “smooth sur­ faced" and required painting regu­ larly, to keep them from deteriora­ ting. Now there is A matite, an improve­ ment over painted roofings, having a real mineral surface imbedded in pitch- making a kind of flexible concrete. This mineral surface needs no painting. The waterproofing ma­ terial, Coal Tar Pitch, is the great­ est enemy to water known. It is the base of many waterproof paints. Only in a paint the pitch is diluted and made into a thin film, whereas the Amatite waterproofing is iolid pure Pitch-two layers of it. It would take something like a dozen coats of pitch paint to equal in thickness that upper sheet .of pitch in which the Amatite mineral sur­ face Is buried. And under that heavy sheet of pitch is a layer of wool felt and under that another sheet of pitch, just as thick as the outer one. And below them all is T another layer of strong felt. That makes two roofs in one. If the storms wore away the min­ eral .surface and dug through the pitch and destroyed the felt, they would only be half way through. .And if the weather then removed the next sheet of pitch, you would stiil have left a final layer of felt nothing more or less than an ordi­ nary smooth surfaced roofing which could keep off the rain very' nicely if painted every ®■ year or two. But as a matte: of fact, the wea- Afflfllllr, ther never gets past that mineral surface ftp'-.. securly gripped in flnnmiP its matrix of pitch U||||L||B|j The mineral sur MUU! face is there to stay. bother no further expenses after the roof is once laid.

The gray girl lay at length in a corner of the room, shielded from ob­ servation by one of the desks. Her eyes were closed, her cheeks wore the hue of death; the fair young head was pillowed on one white and rounded forearm, In an attitude of natural rest, and the burnished hair, its heavy coils slipping from their fastenings, tum­ bled over her head and shoulders in shimmering glory, like a splash of liv­ ing flame. With a low and bitter cry the young men dropped to his knees by her side. In' the outer office the police were as­ sembled In excited conclavj, blind to all save the momentous fact of Anlsty's last, supremely consistent act. For the time Maitland was utterly alone with his great and aching lone­ liness. After a little while timidly he touched her hand. It lay upturned, white slender fingers like exotic petals curling in upon the rosy hollow of her palm. And It was soft and warm. He lifted It tenderly In both his own, and so held it for a space, brood­ ing. marveling at Its perfection. And Inevitably he bent and touched it with his lips, as if their ardent contact would warm It to sentience. . . . The fingers tightened upon his own. alowly, surely; and in the blinding joy of that moment he was made con­ scious of the Ineffable sweetness of opening, wondering eyes. CHAPTER XVI.

Hickey took an impassive face tothe doorway, where, whether or not with design, he stood precisely upon the threshold, filling It with his burly shoulders. ’ Maitland bent again over the girl, and took her hand.’ "Dearest," he said, gently, "please don't run away from me again." Her eyes were brimming, and he read his answer in them. Quickly—it was no time to harry her emotions fdrther; hut so much he had felt he must say—he brushed her hand with his lips and joined Hickey.

"Now. see here." he said quietly, and firmly, “you must help me arrange to get this fady away without her becom­ ing identified with the case.

He found him as Hickey had said he would, sobbing out his life, supine upon the couch .of an office which the janitor had opened to afford him a place to die in. Maitland had to force a way through a crowded doorway, where the night-watchman was hold­ ing forth in aggrieves Incoherence, on the cruel treatment he had suffered at the hands of the law-breakers. A phrase came to Maitland's ears as he shouldered through the group. ". . . . grabbed me an’ trun me outer the cage, inter the hall, an' then the shootin' begins, an' 1 jumps down­ stairs t' the sixteent' floor. . . .” Bannerman opened dull eyes as Maitland entered, and smiled faintly.

And so J. so the fat was in the fire." "Don't talk any more. Bannerman." Maitland tried to soothe him. "Youll pull through this all right, and— You need never have gone to such lengths. If you'd come to me—" The ghost of a sardonic smile flitted, incongruously, across the dying man’s waxen, cherubic features. "Oh, hell.” he said; "you wouldn’t understand. Perhaps you weren't born with the right crook in your nature— or the. wrong one. Perhaps it’s be­ cause you can't see the fun in playing the game. It’s that that counts." He compressed hip lips, and after a moment spoke again. "You never did have the true sportsman's love of the game for its own sakfj, You’re like most of the rest of the crowd—content with mighty cheap virtue. Dan. . . . I don't know that I'd choose just this kind of a wind-up, but It’s been fun while It lasted. Good-by, old man.” He did not speak again, but lay with closed eyes. Five minutes later Maitland rose and unclasped the cold fingers from af>out his own. With a heavy sigh he turned away. At the door Hickey was awaking him. "Yer lady,” he said, aa soon ns they had drawn apart from the crowd, "is waitin' for yeh In the cab down­ stairs. She was gettln' a bit highsteerical 'nd I thought I’d better get her away. . . .

But Maitland bad left him abruptly; and now. as he ran down flight after echoing flight of marble stairs, there rested cold fear in his heart.

The driver, after taking up hls fare, had at her direction drawn over to the further curb, out of the fringe of the rabble which besieged the St. Ltfke building In constantly growing numbers, and through which Maitland, too Impatient to think of leaving by the basement exit, had elbowed and fought hls way in pn agony of appre­ hension that brooked no hindrance, heeded no difficulty. He dashed round the corner, stopped short with a sinking heart, then as the cabby's signaling whip across the street caught hls eye", fairly hurled himself to the other curb, pausing at the wheel, breathless, lifted out of himself with joy to find her faithful in this ultimate Inktance. She was recovering, whose high splr-< it and recuperative powers were to him then and always remained a mar­ velous thing; and she was bending forth from the body of the<hansom to welcome him with a smile that In a twinkling made radiant the world to him who stood it a gloomy side street of New York at three o’clock of a summer’s morning—a good hour and a half before the dawn.. For up there In the tower of the sky-scraper he had as much as told her of hls love; and she had waited; and now—and now he had been blind indeed had he failed to read the promise in her eyes. Weary she was and spent and Overwrought; but there is no tonic In all the world like the consciousness that where one has placed one's love, there love has bur­ geoned tn response. And despite all that she had suffered and endured, the happiness that ran like soft fire tn her veins, wrapping her being with its beneficent rapture, had deepened the color in her cheeks and heightened th* glamour in her eyes. . And he stood and stared, knowing that in all time to no man had ever woman seemed more lovely than this girl to him; a knowledge that robbed his mind of all other thought and hls tongue of words, so that to her fell the task of rousing him. “Please.” she said gently—“please tell the cabby to take me home, Mr. Maitland.” He came to and tn confusion stam­ mered: Yes, he would. And be climbed up on the step with no other thought than to seat himself at her aide and drive away forever. But this time the cabby brought him to his senses, forcing him to remember But the best way of all is to go to your grocer and ask him to supply you with The Mothers Oats,.

It Is not only during ths sum­ mer months that great cars should bo taken In feeding the babies.. Many Infants are killed every year by overfeeding and more by wrong feeding. There are many mothers who make -a practice of bringing their babies to the table and giving them a little of this and a little of that and the other—meat, vegetables, pie, pickles, or whatever may be on the table. These are all article* of diet to which the little stomach Is not ac­ customed, nor Is It capable of ta­ king care of them. The result Is that the baby sickens, often dies, and the death certificates ^sually show as a cause diarrhea, dysen­ tery, cholera infantum, summer complaint, convulsions, brain fe­ ver, etc., but all these are only names, that are used for the re­ sult of poisoning with Improper food. So, don’t overfeed the babies; don’t give them rich food, meats, gravies, pastries, cake, etc., nor a great variety. The simpler the food the better. Keep up the daily bath until It becomes a fixed hab­ it, and give them all the fre^h air and-sunshine possible. In Praise of Sincerity.

If at the same time guided by, or ’’Zeal­ ous of the law?” In bridging toe two dispensations, is It likely that God, so to speak, winked at the Apostles trying to graft the law of Moses into Christianity, or was ft God’s plan that Jewish Christians should still keep the law? Is it likely that even James and the elders at Jerusalem knew of the full liberty of Christ’s gospel, or that ”lhq law” was to be abandoned? (See Gat v:l-6. Heb. vii!:8-13 et seq.) Verses 23-26 — Did James- and the elders give Paul good advice In this matter of the vow, and shaving their heads, and can you conceive It m, possible that they were dir*ctfed by God in the advice they gave? Did Paul do a wise' thing to join with these four men in the matter of tbe vow, and what bo must have known to be a useless ceremony in connection therewith?

Some men can take In all a girt wears; the average man sees if she be the kind he likes—or tbe other kind. If he cannot go into details, he can. however, see whether. Her shoes are run down at the heels or any of tbe buttons are gone. Her gloves have holes In the tips and would be better for soap suds or gas­ oline. She looks “band-boxy” or as if -she had never beard of pressing. She is spotty or slouchy or neat and trim. Men may be impressionists as to colors and materials; they are etcher* when it comes to noticing little thing* that bespeak slovenliness. Do not forget, girls, that It Is by such little things that you are judged, rather than by what you pay for your clothes or how well you carry them.— Exchange. Love Mutt Be Reciprocal. If love is to be genuinely, perma­ nently satisfying. It necessarily must be reciprocal. To hark back to first principles, love, as created, merely is the essential and absorbing need which one man feels for one particular woman. o;.e woman for one man, and for him only, so long as they both shall live, which needs make the two content, nay. joyful, to forsake all others and cleave each to each.

CHINA. , July 12. 19W. Dear Friends:— We have just celebrated our twenty­ fifth birthday. First, a day school of the general board under the care of Mrs. Lewi* Spenew and later of Mrs. Marcus L. Taft, we became, July 2nd, 1884, a boarding school under the auspices of tbe Women’s Foreign Missionary Society, with Mis* Mary C. Robinson in charge. This posi­ tion Miss Robinson continued to fill with great efficiency and with only onefurlough' until 1906. Through her labors and the generosity of friends, the school soon, left its cow-stable quarters in a crowded part of the con­ cession and now occupies a comfort­ able and commodious building on one of Chinkiang’* beautiful hills. We believe there is no more' desirable building spot in central China. That It is sanitary tbe general good health of tbe girls proclaim, our little six£ear-old Agnes, who went from us in lay last, being tbe first death in the school in fourteen years, this too In view of the fact that fully half must remain with u* during the hot months of. July and August. That it is beau­ tiful—Well, come and see us. The students are the children of preachers, scholars, farmers and other laboring classes. A few come from wealthy homes, many are put in by foreigners, not a few from outside the Methodist Mission, to prepare f®r special Christian work. Of those who have gone out from the school, nine are married to preach­ ers. four are married to teachers, ’two are married to business men, four are married to doctors, two are bethrothed to teachers, nine are employed as teachers and four uro employed in hospitals. For its various accomplishments the school is indebted to many friends. A Presbyterian neighbor has taught them drawing; in pbysiclal culture help has been received from a China in­ land mission lady and a young busi­ ness man of the city, while the kindergarden was first introduced by the wife of a general board pastor. A witty and well known writer once re­ marked: “Well, this school * has plucked a feather from every passing goose.' ’ This year our faculty has been depleted" by the marriage of Miss Dollie Wei and the going to America of Miss Sui Wang. Miss Wei became the wife of a young man from AngloChinese College, Shanghai, where she is now doing good work Its a teacher and is active in all lines of Christian •.work. Miss Wang goes to Albion College, Michigan, for a four years’ college course preparatory to further work in China. Both these young women have been faithful and efficient helpers. We are reconciled to the loss only by larger promises for their future usefulness. We have been repl eted by the grad­ uation of four fine voting women who completed the twelve years’ course and received in June the much coveted priz.<?. the goal of every high school girl’s existence—a diploma with its accompanying white frock and roses. These girls have been in the school since early childhood, so have never had so much to •‘unlearn" as those who came at a later age. A picked four, well equipped. In this openminded age what may they not mean for the advancement of Christian education among China's wonwn? Our best gift for the year has been Miss Flora M. Carncross, who came out under the northwest branch. She has already won all hearts and is making rapid strides in the language. She will begin leaching in September and will be ready to take charge of the school while its present principal goes on furlough, as” we now hope in 1910. Spiritually the record is good. Great blessings came through the go­ forth revival held in Nanking. The fire kindled in the hearts of those who attended resulted in a general awaken­ ing in Chinkiang both in the school and among we other church members. It was but a part of the general spiritual wave which seems to be passing over China, for which we thank Him and take courage. Fqurteen school girls came into the church last month. All the teachers, seniors, juniors and part of the lower grades are now Christians, and most of them are active an'.1 earnest workers. In closing we must renew our re­ quest for the new school building. The present one while "commodious” as compared with the original “Cow­ house” does not meet the present needs. Il is full, more than full, aud has been for three years. 1 A music teacher is also one of. our needs—one for both vocal and instru­ mental work. For these we look and in the meantime we bow our most humble thanks to all whose prayers as well as dollars have helped. With loving ."reelings from the girls.

At our hotel was a beautiful young girl, educated, clever, and thoroughly upto-date. A handsome fellow was pay­ ing her the most devoted attention, whenever he "was sober enough to do so. We were anxious lest bis attrac­ tive manners and lavish display of wealth should win'the girl. One even­ ing later she came into ray room and settling herself among the piljows of the couch, said, “John proposed to­ night: went down on his knees, said I was the only power on earth that could save him. and if I didn’t consent to be hls wife he should fill a drunk­ ard's grave.” “What did you say?” I asked breathlessly. “Well,” site re­ plied. “I told him that I was not running a Keeley Cure, but if he really wanted to be saved, I would give him tbe addresses of several which I had heard highly recommend­ ed.” Good Clothes are a Good Investment te Ithaca. Rev. F. L. Niles Cames to Nashville. The annual moving time for the Methodist parsons has arrived, and great changes are being made around tbe various districts. Rev. Alfred Way, who has been in charge of the Nashville church for the past three years, has been assigned to tbe charge at Ithaca. He will preach his farewell sermon here next Sunday morning at the usual hour, and hopes to meet all of his congregation at the regular prayer meeting tonight. His place here will be taken by Rev. F. L. Niles, who comes from'-Reed City. He is the father of Leo B. Niles, the Nashville photographer, and is well known in this vicinity, having had charge at Vermontville several years ago. He is a very able speaker and has been universally liked wherever he has been in the past. The Nash ville congregation, who part with Rev. Way with genuine regret, will also have a hearty- welcome for his successor. Other appointments in which many of our readers will be interested are as follows: Portland, Arthur Trott; Potterville, W.

' A peculiar sight for a town the size of Nashville was seen Friday last when Cortright’s cash store received a portion of its fall shipment of shoes and rubbers. The goods were piled on the sidewalk in front of the store as they came up from the depot, and the sidewalk was piled full the width of the store, and as high as the dray­ men could reach to stack them, mak­ ing a pile of. cases 33 feet long and fully ten feet high, the shipment com­ prising 108 cases. Even this big lot did not contain all of the fall pur­ chase of shoes, there bein'* nearly 81,000 worth yet to come. And this was only the shoe shipment alone. The other goods ure arriving daily, dray load after dray load being un­ loaded at the rear of the store, until one wonders where it is possible for them to l»e packed into the building. Evidently the Cortrights believe this to l>e a good season, or else they ex­ pect to do a large share of the busi­ ness in the town this fall and winter. HURLEYS SENT TO DETROIT. Delton “Blind Pig” Operators Draw Ninety Days Each. Charles Hurley, proprietor of the Delton hotel, and his wife. Miunie Hurley, who were arrested for violat­ ing the local option law by running a “blind pig” in the hotel. were sent­ enced by Judge smith to 75 days in the Detroit house of correction. Mrs. Hurley, who has been convict­ ed, told a tearful tale of her life. She said she had never been married till she and Hurley were married in the jail a few days after he was arrested, although they lived together five years. She said he was kind to her when everyone else had deserted her and the child born to her before she knew him. BllB said she had attended the convent at Notre Dnme and that she had two brothers in the priesthood. She choked with sobs several times. The court told her. that she had un­ doubtedly been punished enough for her life in the oast, hut mat sentence must be passed on her violation of the.-local option law. After the court had pronounced sen­ tence she thanked the judge and said that Hurley, in whose case the jury hud disagreed last week, wanted to* change his plea to guilty. Hurley was* brought in al once. The court told Hurley that he hud been running a bad place in Delton. He was given a sentence similar to his wife’s. Both have already been imprisoned in- the county jail for five weeks. They were taken’to Detroit Tuesday afternoon. Hurley’s mother has taken to Indi­ ana the'woman’s 7-year-old daughter,, who had shared a cell with her moth­ er. ~___ CARD OF THANKS.

He has been suspended from the service and charges against him are being' inves­ tigated by Commissioner of Immigra­ tion Keefe and special agents of the department of commerce and labor.

Davies* suspension did not cause much surprise Among federal officials In Chicago. In fact, for a long time it has been expected by many that he would not be retained in the serv" ice. There has been much talk of Incompetence. But it has been rumored that the special agents found evidence of some­ thing more serious than mere incompotency. One report had it that the suspension was hastened by irregular­ ities during the federal Investigation of the white slave traffic. That Davies had been lax in the performance of his duty In a number of white slave deportation cases was talked around In federal circles exten­ sively when it was learned that he had been ousted. One of these cases in particular was mentioned and it developed details of white slave de­ portation that had several sensational features. . At Sun Francisco.

The man refused to give his name, but said that he was from Boston. Capt. Bailey was attracted by the peculiar actions of the man. He had a camera in hls hand and was trying desperately to reach a point of van­ tage close to the president. Preaches Another Sermon. President Taft to-day preached an other sermon. The scene had changed from the Mormon tabernacle at Salt Lake on Sunday last to the corner­ stone laying of the First Universalist church In East Portland. The president bandied the silver trowel and worked hard to see that the stone was properly adjusted. Hie apparent earnestness in setting the stone called out great applause from the open air audience. . The president referred to hls vari­ ous church experiences and In con­ cluding said: "No church In this country, how­ ever humble it may be, that preaches the doctrine of true religion and true morality, will lack my earnest support to make It more Influential whenever opportunity offers." In the early afternoon the presi­ dent visited St. Mary’s Roman Catho­ lic school, and ipade a five-minute ad­ dress to the school children, in which he declared that loyalty to the church meant.:,fidelity to country. The line of march followed by the presidential party to East Portland was almpstas crowded as were the streets on Saturday, and there was hand-clap­ ping all along the way, with some cheering by the more enthusiastic in the Sunday throng.

Gates Discovers That He Hae Been “Stung." John W. Gates has sworn off tipping hotel employes. He says, however, that he may give a tip to an extra good waiter on an extra good ’ dinner. It happened this way: A matter of a hundred or more let­ ters and telegrams arrive every day at the Plaza for Mr. Gates. He has been In the habit of giving 25 cents per let­ ter or telegram when delivered to hls room or in any part of the hotel by a bellboy, “I never gave much thought to what this habit cost me.” said Mr. Gates, "but I guess I have been ‘stung* to a very nice extent” The bellboys at the Waldorf and Plaza, where Mr. Gates has made his headquarters, discovered this 25-cent habit. Perhaps several letters would arrive at one time. The bellboys would stamp them at Intervals of one or two minutes apart, and a long line of boys would keep busy making their way to the room of Mr. Gates. Each arrival meant a new quarter. That day Mr. Gates had an unusual number of telegrams. It so happened that one arriving at 11:55 did not reach him until 1:65. It was dated at noon. Mr. Gates was just a ''bit provoked and started an Investigation. Then he discovered that his letters and tele^ grams always arrived one at a time. "Guess that is going some,” said Mr. Gates—"going fast enough anyway to keep me from giving any more tips In a hotel.

WHAT IS YOUR DISEASE? Although there is a growing under­ standing of the value of an analy-ta of the urine in determining the nature and condition of different diseases <<f the human body, there are still thou-ands of people to whom this syntcni of diagnosing would mean a complete recovery.' It is a proven fact that tinkidneys act as a sewer for the entire body and in tbe urine are found by Chemical tests the cause of any ineffieency of the organs to properly per--' form their duties, and for this reason the disease is located where ordinary means of examination would fail. That suffering might be prevented in a great many cases and a cure quick­ ly effected is proven by the wonder­ ful record of the VanBysterveld Medicine Co., Ltd. , whose experienced physicians depend on a thorough ‘urinalysis in determining what medi­ cines to prescribe. By this means countless people to whom life seemed bopless and dreary, are today well and strong. A. W. vanBysterveld, the noted chemist, of this company is most ably prepared to make this analysis cor­ rectly. His whole life has been spen|_ in studying the human urine and the effect of the disease upon it, in addi­ tion to which he lias had practical experience gained by analyzing thous­ ands of different samples of urine. The physicians of the company are also experts and have an extensive knowledge of the human body, its ills, and requirements and in treating these different cases have won fame for the quickness and permanency of their cures. Many who have been unable to even 'visit the offices or see the physicians have by sending sam­ ples of urine received the same expert treatment of those fortunate enough to visit the offices in person: Trie usefulness of this system of treatment lias made it absolutely necessary to place the price where all might take advantage of ft, and for this reason only 31.00 is charged for the diagno­ sis including one week’s treatment when urine is brought to the office .or 31.25 when sent by mail. To tho-e unable to come, mailing cases for sending urine are gladly furnished free upon request. The best proof of the good that is being done are the words of praise and endorsement by those already cured, while a moil sceptical person would be Convinced by a talk with the patients at tlie crowded waiting rooms.

Two hundred and forty-four dozen eggs from January 1 to Octolier 1, 1909, is the record made by twentyfour hens belonging to C. M. Putnam. At the average price per month these eggs were worth *49.83. These same hens hatched and raised thirty-thrqp chickens which are worth at the pres­ ent market price #16.20, thereby bring­ ing the total receipts up to *65.80. The expense of keeping the entire number of Jiens and chickens did not exceed *25.00, thus giving an actual profit In nine months of *40.83 Can you beat this? The Boy at the Mill. Representative Wade of Missouri tells a story to illustrate his views as to the time it will take to prosecute and abolish all the trusts of the country. A small boy he once knew went to a mill with a sack of grain. It was out on the prairie in Iowa. The boy became tired watching the slow turning of the stones, and, turn­ ing impatiently to the miller, asked: “How long Is this thing going to take? I am in a hurry.’’ • “Ob,” replied the miller, “thia is as fast as it can go.” “Well,” retorted the boyj “I can eat that flour faster than It is grinding there.” “You might,” quoth the miller. 5‘but how long could you keep it up?” “I could keen it up,” the boy answered, “until I starved to death.” gold, green, pink, blue and black.

WEIL BRASS BOWL By LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE _______ -___________ / CHAPTER XVII-Continued “Hickey!" demanded Maitland, sud­ denly, in a tone of smoldering wrath, “what the—what do you want?” “Yeh told me tub call round to-mor­ row. yeh know. When’ll yeh be In?” “I’ll leave a note for you with O’Hagap, is that all?” "Yep—that is, there’s somethin’ else . . “Well?" "Excuse me for mentionin’ It, but I didn't know—it ain’t generally known, yeh know, 'nd one uh th' boys might ’ve heard me speak tuh yer lady by name 'nd might pass it on to a re­ porter. What I mean's this/' hastily,' as the Maitland temper showed dan­ gerous Indications of going Into active eruption: "1 s’pose yeh don’t want me tah mention *t yeh’re marHed, jes' yet? Mrs. Maitland here." with a nod to her, “didn't seem tuh take kindly tuh the notion of it’s bein' known—" "Hickey!" "Ah, excuse me!” “Drive on. cabby—Instantly! Do you hear?" Hickey backed suddenly away and the cab sprang into motion: while “rrease,” one Said Gently—“Please Tell the Cabby to Take Me Home, Mr. Maitland." Maitland with a face of fire sat back and raged and wondered. Across Broadway toward Fourth avenue dashed tbe hansom; and from the curb-line Hickey watched it with a humorous light in hls dull eyes. In­ deed. the detective seemed in extraor­ dinary conceit with himself. He chewed with unaccustomed ' emotion upon hls ‘ cold cigar, scratched his cheek, and chuclfled; and, chuck­ ling, pulled hls hat well down over brows, thrust both hands into hls trousers pockets, and shambled back to the St. Luke building—his heavy body vibrating amazingly with hls secret mirth. And so. shuffling sluggishly, he merges Into the shadows. Into the mob that surges about the building, and passes from these pages. II. In the clattering hansom, steadying herself with a hand against the win­ dow-frame. to keep from being thrown against the speechless man beside her. the girl waited. And since .Mait­ land in confusion at the moment found no words, from this eloquent silence she drew an Inference unjustified, such as lovers are prone to draw, the world over, one that lent a pathetic color to her thoughts, and chilled a little her mood. She had been too sure. But better to have it over with at once, rather than permit It to remain forever a wall of constraint between them. He must not be permitted to think that she would dream of taking him upon his geuerous word. "It was very kind of you." she said in a steady small voice, "to pretend that we*—what you did pretend. In or­ der to save me from being held as a witness. At least. I presume thgt is why you did it?"—with a note of un­ certainty. "it Is unnecessary- that you should be drawn into the affair." he replied, with some resumption of hls self-pos­ session. "It Isn't as if you were—" "A thief?” she supplied, as he hesi­ tated. "A thief," he assented, gravely. “But I—1 am." with a break in her voice. "But .you are not." he asserted al­ most fiercely. And. "Dear.” he said, boldly, “don’t you suppose 1 know?" "—what do you know?" "That you brought back the jewels, for one minor thing. I found them al­ most as soon as you had left. And then I knew—knew that you cared enough to get them from this fellow Anlsty and bring them back to me. knew that I cared enough to search the world from end to end until I found you. that you might wear them —If you would." But she had drawn away, had averted her face; and he might not see it; and she shivered alightly, star­ ing out of the window at the passing lights. He saw, and perforce paused. "You—you don't understand." ’ she told him in a rush. "You give me credit beyond my due. -1 didn’t break Into your fiat again to-night, in order to return the jewels—at least, not for that alone." "But you did bring back the jewels?" She nodded. "Then doesn’t that prove what I claim, prove that you've cleared your­ self— y "No.” she told him. firmly, with the firmness of despair; "it does not. Be­ cause I did not come for that only. I came with another ourdoss—to steal. as. wen as to maae restitution. And 1 —I stole." There was a moment's silence, on his part incredulous. "I don't know what you mean. What did you staal? Where U ttF "I have lost it— "Was It in your hand-bagf "You 'found that?” "You dropped ft in the trunk-clocot I found it there. There is something of mine in it?” . Dumb with misery, she nodded; and after a little: “You didn't look, of course." "I had no right,” he said, shortly. "Other men wo-would have thought they had the right. I lb-thlnk you had, the circumstances considered. At all events," steadying her voice, ’T say you have, now. I give you that right. Please go and investigate that hand-bag, Mr. Maitland. I wish you to.” He turned and stared at her curious­ ly. “I don't know what to think,” he said. "I can not believe—’’ "You mu-must believe. J have no right to profit by your disbelief. Dear Mr. Maitland, you have been kind to me. very kind to me; do me this last kindness, If you will." The young face turned to him was gravely and perilously sweet; very nearly he -forgot all else. But -that she would not have. “Do this for me. What you will find will explain everthing. You will un­ derstand. Perhaps" — timidly — "per­ haps you may even find It In your heart to forgive when you understand. If you should, my card-case Is in the bag. and—" She faltered, biting her lip cruelly to steady a voice quivering with restrained sobs. "Please, please go at once, and—and see for yourself!” she implored him passionately. ' Of a sudden he found himself re­ solved. Indeed, he fancied that it were dangerous to oppose her; she was overwrought, on the verge of .los­ ing her command of self. She wished thjs thing, and though with all his soul he hattd ik he would do as she de­ sired. "Very well." he assented quietly. "Shall I stop-tfie cab now?" "Please." He tapped on the roof of the han­ som and told the cabby to draw in at the next corner. Thus he was put down not far from hls home—below the Thirty-third street grade. Neither spoke as be alighted, and she believed that he was leaving her In displeasure and abhorrence; but he had only stepped behind tbe cab for a moment to speak to the driver. In a moment he was back, standing by tlie step with one hand on the apron and staring In very earnestly and soberly at the shadowed sweetness of her pal­ lid face, that gleamed In the gloom there like some pale, shy, sad flower. Could there be evil combined with such sheer loveliness, with features that in every line bodied forth the purity of the spirit that abode within? In the soul of him he could not belfeve that a thief’s nature fed canker-llke at the heart of a woman so divinely, najvely dear and desirable. And—he would not. "Won't you let me go?" "Just a minute. 1—1 should like to —If I find that you have done nothing" so very dreadful." he laughed uneasi­ ly. "do you wish to know?" "You know I do.” She could not help saying that, letting him see that far Into her heart. "You spoke of my calling, I believe. That means to-morrow afternoon, at the earliest. May 1 not call you up on the telephone?” ( "The number Is in the book." she said in a tremulous voice. "And your name in the card-case?" "Yes.” "And if I should call in half an hour— ?” "O. I shall not\sleep until I know! Good night!” "Good night! Drive on. cabby." He stood, smiling queerly. until the bansom, climbing the Park Avenue hili, vanished over Its shoulder. Then swung about and with an eager step retraced his way to his rooms, very confident that God was In his heaven and all well with the world. III. Tbe cab stopped. The girl rose and descended to the walk. The driver touched his hat and reined the horse away. “Good night, ma'am," he bode her. cheerfully. And she told him "Good night” in her turn. For a moment she seemed a bit hesi­ tant and fearful, left thus alone. The bouse in front of which she stood, like its neighbors, reared a high facade to the tender, star-lit sky. Its windows, with drawn shades and no lights, wear­ ing a singular look of blind patience. It bad a high stoop and a sunken area. There was a dull glow in one of the basement windows. It was very late—or extremely early. The moon was down, though its place was in some way filled by the golden disk of the clock in the Grand Central station's tower. The air was impreg­ nated with the sweet and fragrant breath of the new-born day. In the tunnel beneath the street a trolley car rumbled and whined and clanked lonesomely. A stray cat wandered out of a cross street with the air of a sea­ soned debauchee: stopped, scratched itself with inimitable abandon, and suddenly, mysteriously alarmed at nothing, turned itself into a streak of shadow that fled across the street and vanished. And, as if affected by its terror, the gray girl slipped silently into the area and tapped at the lighted window. Almost immediately the gate was cautiously opened. A woman's head looked out, with suspicion. "Oh. thank Heavings!" it said, with abrupt fer­ vor. ”1 was afraid it mightn t be you. Miss Sylvia. I'm so glad you’re back. There ain’t—hasn't been a minute these past two nights that I haven’t been in' a fidget" . ■ The girl laughed Quietly and naasad uirougn rue gateway twmen was closed behind her) Into the basement had), where she lingered a brief mo­ ment. . “My father. Annie?" she Inquired. “Ho ain't—hasn’t stirred since yo» went out Miss Sylvia. He’s sleepin* peaceful as a lamb." * "Everything is all right, then?" "Now that you’re home, it Is, praises be!” The servant secured the inner door and turned up the gas. "Not if I was to be glveh notice tomorrow mornin’,’’ she announced, firmly, "will .1 ever consent to be a party to such goln's-on -another night.” "There will be no occasion, Annie,” said the girl. “Thank you, and—good night” A resigned sigh—"Good night. Miss Sylvia”—followed her up the stairs. She went very cautiously, careful to brush against no article of movable furniture in the halls, at pains to make no noise on the stairs. At the door of her father’s room on the second floor - she stopped and listened for a full mo­ ment; but he was sleeping as quietly, as soundly, as the servant had de­ clared.. Then on, more hurriedly, up another flight, to her own room, where she turned on the electric bulb in panic haste. For it had just occurred to her that the telephone bell might ring before she could change her cloth­ ing and. get downstairs and shut her­ self Into the library, whose closed doer would prevent the bell from being audible through the house. . In less than ten minutes she was stealing silently down to the drawing room floor again, quiet as a spirit of the night. The library door shut with­ out a sound; for the first time she breathed freely. Then, pressing the button on the wall, she switched on the light in the drop-limp on the cen­ ter table. The telephone stood be­ side it. She drew up a chair and sat down near the Instrument, ready to lift tbe receiver off Its hook the Instant the bell began to sound; and waited, the soft light burtlng in the loosened tresses of her hair, enhancing the soft color that pulsed in her cheeks, fading before the joy that lived in her eyes when she hoped. For she dared hope—at times;-and at times could net but fear. So greatly had she dared, who greatly loved, so ■ bui now could I tell, Sylvia, that you were hls daughter, and that I should—" "Hush! Central will hear!" “Central's got other things to do, besides listening to early morning con-I tabulations. I love you.” "Dan." , “Year “I love—to hear you say so, dear." "Please say that last word over again. 1 didn't get IL” "Dear." "And that means that you'll mar­ ry me?” A pause. “I say, that means—“ "I heard you,' Dan.” v "But it does, doesn’t it?" "Yes." "When?” ' "Whenever you please.” ’Til come up now.". "Don't be a silly." "Well, when then? To-day?" “Yes—no!" “But when?” "To-morrow—I mean next week—I mean next month." "No; to-day at four. I'll call for you.” “But, Dan.” “Sweetheart!" "But you mustn't! How can I—“ "Easily enough. There's the LittleChurch-Around-the-Corner—" ’'But I've nothing*to wear!" “Oh!” Another pause. “Dan. You don’t wish it—truly?" "I do wish it. truly. To-day, at four. The Church, of the Transfiguration. Yes, ill scare up a best man if you’ll find bridesmaids. Now you will, won't you?” "I—If you wish it. dear." 'Til have to ask you to repeat that." "I shan’t. There!" • “Very well,* meekly. "But will you tell me one thing, please?" , “What Is it?” "Where on earth did you get hold of that kit of tools?” She laughed softly. "My big brother caught a burglar once, and kept the kit for a remembrance. I borrowed them." "Give me your big brother's address and I'll send ’em back with my thanks —No, by George! I won't, either. I've as much right to keep 'em as he has on that principle." ■** And again she laughed, very gently and happily. Dear God. that such hap­ piness could come to one! "Sylvia?" “Yes. dear?” “Do you love me?” ”* think yoq may believe It, when I alt here at four o'clock in the morn­ ing, listening to a silly boy talk non­ sense over a telephone wire.” "But I want to hear you say so!" '.'But central—” "I tell you central has other things to do!” At this juncture the voice of central, jaded and acidulated, broke in curtly: "Are you through?" THE END. "This Is Daniel Maitland . . Sylvia!" heavy upon her untarnished heart was the burden of the sin that she had put upon it. because she loved. Perhaps be would not call; perhaps the world was to turn cold and be forever gray to her eyes. He was even then decid­ ing: at that very moment her happi­ ness hung in the scales of his mercy. If he could forgive. • The* was a click. And her face flamed scarlet, as hastily she lifted the receiver to her ear. The armature buzzed sharply. Th--? central’s voice cut the stillness. "Hello' Nlne-o-flve-one?” "Yes.” "Walt a minute/’ She waited, breathless. In a quiver. The silence sang upon tbe wire, the silence of the night through which he was groping toward her. "Hello! Is this nlne-o—” "Ye?., yes!” "Is this the residence of Alexander C. Graeme?" "Yes.” The syllable almost choked her. "Is this Miss Graeme at the ’phone?” "It is.” "Miss Sylvia Graeme?" "Yes.” "This is Daniel Maitland—Sylvia!” "As if ’. did not know your voice!” she cried. Involuntarily. There followed a little pause; and In her throat the pulses tightened and drummed. ”1 have opened the bag. Sylvia—” "Please go on." "And I've sounded the depths of your hideous Infamy!” "Oh!" He was laughing. "I've done more. . I’ve mjyle a burnt offering within the last five minutes. Can you guess what it is?” "I—I—don’t want to guess! I want to be told." ”A burnt offering on the altar of your happiness, dear. The papers in the case of tbe Dougherty Investment Company no longer -exist." "Dan!” "Sylvia—Does it please you?" "Don't you know? How can it do anything but please me? If you knew how I have suffered because my fa­ ther suffered, fearing the—No. but you must listen! Dan, it was wearing him down to hls grave, and I thought—” "You thought that if you could get the papers and give them to him—" “Yes. I could see no harm, because he was as innocent as you—” "Of course. But why didn't you ask me?" “He did, and you refused."

Niles Sunday Evening. Rev. F. L. Niles finished his three -----years' pastorate in the Methodist church last Sunday, and left Tuesday afternoon for Grand Rapids to attend conference. Mr. Niles will probably not return to Reed City as he has ex­ pressed a desire to return to the southern part of the state where he labored prior to his appointment to the Reed City church. His closing sermon was preached Sunday evening, not, however, as a farewell sermon, but as Mr. Niles stated, “a simple gospel sermon.” His text was, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” During his three years' service Rev. Niles has seen hls church active and prosperous. He has added to his church 109 members either by letter or by baptism. The church property has been greatly improved. The in­ side of the church has l>een decorated, tlie seats have been repaired and grained and rubber matting pur­ chased. The parsonage has been painted. BOOMING* GLASGOW. Although Mr. Glasgow is very well satisfied with the position he now­ holds us chairman of tbe state rail­ road commission, and which he fills so acceptably, be has hundreds of friends around tbe state who are con­ tinually trying to induce him to get into the chase for other honors of a political nature, from congressman to governor. Last week the Lapeer Clarion started a boom for him for lieutenant governor in 1910, with the expressed idea of grooming him for governor later on. Many of the other papers about the state are taking the article up and making comments on it, and all are favorable to Mr. Glas­ gow. 'and go to show the high esteem in which he is held by- the press and public in the state at large. So far as Mr.'Glasgow himself is concerned, he is as non-committal as the sphinix, beyond expressing himself as having a great liking for the work which he is now so ably doing. Many of the ablest politicians in the state' are of the opinion that Mr. Glasgow could knock- down the governorship plum next year without using a very long pole if he should decide that he wanted it, as he is'a man on whom I all factions of the republican part Rev. F. L. Niles. Should Bishop Moore, who is pre­ siding at the conference, see fit to £rant Mr. Niles’ request and place Im In another field of labor, the many friends of Rev. and Mrs. Niles will deeply regret their removal from Reed City. Mr. Niles is a high type of manhood. He has been very de­ voted to his work and while he has performed hls duties in a quiet, unas­ suming manner, he has shown ability to successfully manage the various duties incumbent upon a pastor. Mrs. Niles is an estimable woman, who has been a strong helper in church work. She has been of great service in ail departments of Chris­ tian activity.—Osceola County Herald, Reed City, Michigan, September 23, 1909. could unite, and he is universally conceded to be well qualified and of sufficient calibre. In any circumstances, whatever Mr. Glasgow decides that he wants for the future, he is pretty sure of having Nashville and Barry county solidly for him, for we all have implicit con­ fidence in his ability and integrity, and that is what is needed in public office. C. S. Whitman has severed his connection with the News office and his place is being filled by R. P. Woodworth. Mr. Whitman has not yet decided where he will locate, but is considering an offer to return to Chicago; where he worked for many years.

Tbe exhibit put up by the Nashville public schools at the Barry county fair was without doubt the finest ever produced by our pupils and notwithatanding tbe fact that they were given second place, the majority of visitors concede to our school the honor of submitting the finesJ collection of student work seen at the fair.

Furthermore, a boy driv­ ing a baker's cart over the Poseidon field saw the gleam of gold in the grass. He got down and picked up a nice little nugget of 40 ounces. FURS!

A noted physician has said that .only those who are too lazy to breathe have consumption. Medl*cal men, too, are generally agreed that people who breathe full and deep--that la, use their lungs to their full capacity, seldom have this disease. It is also asserted that persons stricken with con­ sumption and who begin at once to breathe as they should recover. Breathing, like eating, is a mat­ ter that each Individual may con­ trol. In other words, it Is left. with each one of us to say just how much or little of life giving air shall be taken Into the lungs and how much of the Ilfs and health destroying products shall be exhaled. For those who work Indoors It is sn excellent thing' to take a few breathing exercises In the morning and then again at night before retiring. Be sure to throw open the windows In order that the air you take is good, fresh out­ door air. If possible, the morning exercises should be taken out of doors.

He was enter­ tained at luncheon at Pasadena and at dinner at Riverside. Late to-night he will start for the east on the latter half of his long trip, and both In point of time and in mileage his journey will be half completed. Tbe president arrived in Los An­ geles at 7:30 Monday morning much refreshed from his three days’ stay in the beautiful Yosemite valley. • He was looking especially well,- and his greeting to the members of the Chamber of Commerce committee that met him at the station was jovial. The president was taken at once -to the residence of his sister, Mrs. William A. Edwards. 2600 West Adams street, where he had breakfast and rested for two hours. Then the committee reap­ peared and took him to San Pedro, the great new harbor recently an­ nexed to the city'. There* Mr. Taft Inspected the government breakwater, the outer and inner harbors and the proposed sites for fortifications de­ termined on by the war department. Visits War Veterans. Returning, the president spent an hour with tbe veterans of the Sawtelle Soldiers' home, after which there was an official reception at tbe Ar­ cade station, followed by a parade through the' business and residence sections. As the president passed the public schools he was vociferously greeted by the pupils drawn up In front of the various buildings. The distinguished visitor next returned to his sister's home for a rest of four . hours before the banquet to be given this evening in his honor by the Cham­ ber of Commerce. While here the president was made a member of the Los Angeles Associa• tfon of California Pioneers, at sight. At the banquet in his honor the president dined beneath a Spanish pergola laden with flowers and fruit. The entire auditorium had been trans­ ferred into a bower of roses, chrysan­ themums and other blossoms of the season. Electric bulbs glowing in the ceiling, and twining about pillars in tbe decorative scheme, added their touch to the scene. Eight hundred banqueters rose to greet the president as be entered. Six Mexicans, arrested in this city for public utterances in denunciation of Presidents Taft and Diax, were held by the authorities and may be kept in custody until after Mr. Taft’s visit to El Paso and Juarez, Mexico, next Sat­ urday. Speaks at Fresno. Fresno, Cal.. Oct. 11.—President Taft was greeted here by practically * the entire population of the city and ' surrounding country and after a short automobile trip through the business t section, addressed a gathering of many thousands in the courthouse square. Tbe president's speech was in reality another Sunday sermon, the third he has preached since his trip began. His text, quoted from memory, was "He who conquereth himself is great­ er than he who take th a city," and from it the president drew the lesson that popular government must al­ ways be a failure unless it is based upon sound common sense and the self-restraint that goes to make the good loser. He drew an analogy be­ tween the American people in this re­ spect and those peoples who In their attempts at self-government follow an election with a revolution. Japanese Present Address. A feature of the president’s visit »o Fresno was the presentation of an address of good-will from the Japa­ nese residents. Detroit, OcL 12.—Pittsburg defeated Detroit by the score of 8 to 6 here in one of the most spectacular and fierce­ ly Contested games ever played in a world’s championship series. This gives Pittsburg the margin of two games to one in the series, t|ud the National league champions arc corre­ spondingly jubilant Detroit, however, showed in the final innings of. tie buttle that ft is far from a hopelessly beaten team. Weather conditions were frightful. Rain fell frequently during the nine innings, several times in bard showers of several minutes' duration. Despite the wretched weather, the attendance. 18,277, broke all local records for the world's series. ' Pittsburg Leads Early. Pittsburg jumped into the lead Im­ mediately by scoring five runs in the first inning. They batted Summers out of the. box, aided by some' poor fielding. Another run in the second in­ ning gave Pittsburg a lead of 6 to 0, and tbe game then appeared to' be safe for the visitors. Detroit, how­ ever, came to the fore with one of the gayest rallies ever .made and scored four runs in the seventh inning.- bat­ ting Maddox hard and playing like fiends. With tbe score' 6 to 4, Pitts­ burg connected with some of Works’ curves in the ninth for two runs. With the score 8 to 4 against it, the Detroit team even then did not realize it wasbeaten and smashed out two more runs in the fast Inning. Detroit Outbats Opponents. Detroit outbatted Pittsburg by a margin of one hit, getting 12 to the winners 11. Summers started for the locals, but was removed before the end of tbe first inning. Willet suc­ ceeded him and did well until he was taken out to allow McIntyre to bat for him in the seventh. McIntyre struck out. Works, who then went in, was lucky in the eighth, after Abstein had made a two-base hit, with but one out. The next two were easy outs. In the ninth Pittsburg landed on him for three bits, and that clinched the game for them. Maddox was on the rubber for Pitts­ burg and was hard hit in the closing innings, although Detroit could do nothing with him in the early sescions, When the American leaguers did start to hit him they landed bard and often.

MARTIAL LAW PROCLAIMED Federal Government Haa Been Aaked to Dlapatch Troops to Prevent Looting --A-Chaoa Prevaila — Hun­ dreds of Homea Wrecked. Key West, Fla., Oct. J 2.—As a result of the hurricane which struck the southern coast of Florida yesterday, Key West is a mass 'of wreckage and the damage to property is estimated at 12,000,000. Martial law was pro­ claimed by the mayor and the Key West guards are patrolling the city. Government Aid Sought The United States government has been asked to dispatch troops here without delay to assist in patrolling .he storm-swept area. Chaos reigns on every hand and few people remain in their homes, hun­ dreds of which either have been total­ ly wrecked or damaged. It is impossi­ ble to say whether there has been loss it life, but It Is thought that many Ives have been claimed along ‘the roast. Many- Ars Injured. It is known that many have received erious Injury and unconfirmed re­ orts are current that several lives ave been lost The storm reached its :e!ght at one o’clock yesterday afteroon, when (he wind had an estimated 'elocity of 100 miles an hour. There vas a hard, steady blow until four •’clock, when the center of the hurrltane bad passed this point. While the hurricane is the worst hat Key West has ever experienced, he local weather observer said that he indications arc that the entire •ast coast of Florida will suffer ter•ibly. Of 100 Ideal vessels in tbe harx>r but five remain at anchor, the >thers have either gone to sea or lave been washed upon the caches. TBe streets along the water, front are i mass of wreckage. Brick as well as frame buildings hroughout the city suffered alike ,’rom the fury of the hurricane and nany miraculous escapes from death ind serious Injury have been reported. Besides the several score of resi­ lences either totally wrecked or slown from their foundations, nine factories were partially destroyed. No. 1 and No. 3 of the city fire engine department were destroyed and the firemen narrowly escaped. The top ot the First National bank was blown off, the post office damaged and two running gears of the government coal­ ing station were wrecked. Every telephone and electric light pole on Duval .street, the principal thoroughfare of the city, was blown down. As soon as the wind had subsided plundering began. The city police force was unable to cope with the sit­ uation and the mayor decided to take stringent measures to suppress the looting, his proclamation of martial law resulting. Almost every national­ ity Is represented among the city’s population of more than 20,000, about one-half of whom are employed in the cigar manufactories, sponge fisheries and salvage companies. Rush to Scene. San Bernardino, Cat, ‘Oct. 11.—A score of militiamen, armed with high power government rifles, are hurry­ ing over the desert to Join the posse of Sheriff Ralphs, which has surround­ ed "Willie Boy.” the Piute Indian mur­ derer, entrenched In a canyon near Bullion mountain. They are making all haste to be in time for the battle certain to occur before the desperate outlaw is captured or killed. Their only fear is that the fight may be over before they arrive. _ Reinforcements also are on the way from Banning, whence they were dis­ patched by Clara True, the Indian agent at that place, with supplies for the besiegers. Tbe operations for the capture of "Willie Boy" have assumed a warlike aspect, and in making preparations for the desperate battle expected Sheriff Ralphs has established a field hospital. The only patient so far is Charles Ritchie, the posseman. who was seriously wounded in the hip in the first brush with the Indians Wednesday. FIGHT FOR MAYOR IS BITTER Re-entrance of Hearst In New York's Mayoralty Campaign Awakens Great Interest. New York, Oct. 11.—Already enliv­ ened by two adroit Tammany ticket* and the re-entrance of William Ran­ dolph Hearst as candidate for mayor, the local political campaign will be marked with a crescendo this week, which will be maintained Hintil the grand finale on election day. Novem­ ber 2. The speechmaking, which began last week with Democratic and Republican ratification meetings, will become general to-night, when Hearst will ap­ pear before a mass meeting in Carne­ gie hall to formally accept the nomi­ nation of his new party and to outline the platform upon which he will make the race. The latest ’‘issue" of the campaign is Tammany’s kidnaping, or attempted abduction, at least, of the title, "Civic Alliance," and the emblems thereof constituting tbe new' party designa­ tion under which the independents had rallied to the support of Hearst As a result of this move, the Democratic ticket may appear under the emblems of three different parties on the offi­ cial ballot—the straight Democratic, the old Independence League, recent­ ly captured at the primaries, and. lastly, the new Civic Alliance. While Hearst may yet qualify under an alto­ gether new party name, the coup. If successful, ultimately will give Tam­ many a 3 to 1 advantage in the matter of publicity on tbe ballot and will doubtless cause some confusion to voters in the Tiger’s interest. The final retention of the Civic Al­ liance as a Tammany title, however. Is a legal question which must be set­ tled this week.

After the early in­ nings Detroit was outclassed in every department of the game, although in the first three sessions the American leaguers outplayed their opponents. An immense crowd—29,265 paid ad­ missions—a new record for attend­ ance in a world’s series game, wit­ nessed the exciting battle. Tbe ma­ jority of the spectators were Pittsburg supporters but a large delegation of Detroit enthusiasts made a creditable showing with plenty of noise In the early innings. Clarks Makes Home Run. Manager Fred Clarke and Tommy Leach were the stars of the Pittsburg aggregation. It was Clarke who Ijroke the apparently Impregnable wall of Mullin’s wonderful . pitching with a smashing home run into the rightfield bleachers in the fourth inning and tied the score. This smash appeared to take all the heart out of the Detroit team and scoring was comparatively easy for Pittsburg after that. ■ Score by innings; Pittsburg .0 0 0 1 2 1 0 0 Batteries—Pittsburg, Adams and Gibson; Detroit, Mullin and Schmidt. Detroit Wins the Second. Forbes Field, Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 11. —Detroit evened up the eount. in the world'* championship series, defeat­ ing Pittsburg. 7 to 2, in a one-sided game at Forbes field. The Detroit players batted Camnitx hard in the early Innings until Willis was substi­ tuted for Camnitz in the third inning, and Detroit scored two more runs off him. The first Inning was all Pittsburg, but after that the National league champions were never in the running for a moment. Two two-baggers and a base on balls off "Wild Bill * Donovan ip'the first inning was the end of their abili­ ty to hit him. Donovan Invincible. After this he became better every Inning and the hard-hitting Pittsburg men were absolutely helpless before his brilliant twirling. Only three hits were made off Donovan after the first inning.

Again there waa silence for a long time. Now ud then Baraka as she sat. so that it might dry more quickly; and she quietly wrung out bar thick black hair and shook it over "her shoulders to dry It, too. and atuck her two sliver pins into the •and beside her. Still the traveler Mt with bent head, ■axing at the edge of the pool. His hands were quite dry now,, and he slowly rubbed the clinging moisture from his revolver. Some men would have been thinking, in such a plight, that if starving were too hard to bear, a bullet would shorten their sufferings in the end; but this man was very full of life, and the love of lite, and while he lived he woitld hope He still watched the same dark streak where the sand was wet; he had not realized that he had been so far from it till then, but by looking at It a long time In the starlight his sight had probably grown tired, so that he no longer saw it distinctly. He raised himself a little on his hands and pushed himself down till it was quite clearly risible again, and he looked at the rock opposite and. up to the stars again, to rest his eyes. He was not more than a yard from the water now. The place was very quiet From far above a slight draught of air descended, warm from the rocks that had been heated all day in the sun. But there was no sound except when Baraka moved a little. Presently she did not move any more, and when the traveler looked he . aaw that she was curled up on the sand, as eastern women He when they Bleep, and her head rested on her hand; for her garment was dry now, and she was drowsy after the walk and the effort she had made. Be­ sides. since there was no. escape from death, and as the man did not love her, she might as well sleep if she could. He had been certain of the distance between bls feet and the water's edge as he sat; it had been a yard at the most But now it was more; be was Bure that ft was a yard and a half nt the least. He rubbed his eyes and looked hard at the dark belt of wet sand, and it was twice as wide as it had been. The water was still runnlng out somewhere, but it was no longer running in, and in an hour or two the pool would be dry. The trav­ eler was something of an engineer, and understood sooner than an or­ dinary man could have done, that his t enemies had intentionally stopped up the narrow entrance through which he had to come, both to make his es­ cape impossible, and to hasten his end by depriving him of water. The fallen boulder alone could not have kept out the overflow of the spring effectually. They must have shoveled down massee of earth, with the plants that grew In It abundantly and filled it with twining threadlike roots, and they must have skillfully fpreed quantities of the stuff into the openings all round the big •tone, making a regular dam •gainst the spring, which would soon run down In the opposite direction. They knew, of course, that Baraka had led him to the place and had gone In with him, for she had left all her outer garments outside, and they meant that she should die also, with her secret. In a week, or a fortnight, or a month, they would come and dig •way the dam and pry the boulder •aide, and would get in and find the white bones of the two on the sand, after the vultures had picked .uem clean; and they would take the trav•ler’s good revolver, and his money. He thought of all these things as he •at there in the dim light, and watched the slow receding of the water-line, and listened to the girl's soft and reg­ ular breathing. There was no death te her dream, as she slept away the last hours of the night, though there might not be many more nights for her. He heard her breath, but he did not heed her. for the water was sink­ ing before him. sinking away into the •and, now that It was no lunger fed from the opening. He Mt motionless, and his thoughts ran madly from hope to despair and back again to hope. The water was going down, beyond question; if It was merely draining itself through the •and to some subterranean channel. small chance. When death la at the gate the tiniest loophole looks wide enough to crawl through. The surface of the pool subsided, but there waa no loophole; and as the traveler watched, hope sank In his heart, like the water in the hollow of the sand; but Baraka,slip?on peace­ fully, curled up on her aide like a lit­ tle wild animal. When the pool was almost dry the traveler crept down to the edge and drank his fill, that be might not begin to thirst sooner than need be; and just then day dawned suddenly and the warm darkness gave way to a cool light in a tew moments. Immediately, because It was day, Baraka stretched herself on the sand and then sat up* and when she saw what the traveler was doing she also went and drank ns much as she could swallow, for she had understood why he was drinking as soon' as she naw that the pool whs' nearly dry When she could drink no more she looked up at the rocks high overhead, and they were already white and red and yellow In the light ot the risen sun; for in that country there is no very long time between dark night and broad day. . Baraka sat down again, on.the spot where she had slept, but she said nothing. The man was trying to dig a little hole.in the wet sand with his hands, beyond the water that was still left, for perhaps he thought that If he could make a pit on one side, some water would stay In It; but the sand ran together as soon as he moved it; and presently, as he bent over, he felt that he was sinking into it himself, and understood that it was a sort of quicksand that would suck him down. He therefore threw himself flat on his back, stretching out his arms and legs, and, making move­ ments as If he were swimming, he worked his way from the dangerous place till he was safe on the firm white beach again. He sat up then, andbent bis. head till his forehead pressed on his hands, and be shut his eyes to keep out the light of day. He. bad pot slept, as Baraka had. but he was not-sleepy; perhaps he would not be able to sleep again before the end come. Baraka watched him quietly, for she understood that he despaired of life, and she wondered what he would do; and. besides, he seemed to her the most beautiful man In the world, and she loved him, and she was going to die with him. It comforted her to think that no other woman could get him now. It was almost worth while to die for that alone; for she could not have borne that another woman should have him since he despised her, and if it had come to pass sb* would have tried to kill that other. But there was no danger of fuch a thing now; and he would die first, and she would kiss him many times when he was dead, and then she would die also. The pool was all gone by this time, leaving a funne^-shapped hollow in the sand where it ’had been. If any water still leaked through from with­ out it lost Itself under the sand, and the man and the girl were at the bot­ tom of a great natural well that was quite dry. Baraka looked up, and she saw a vulture sitting in the sun on a pinnacle, 300 feet above her bead. He would sit there till she was dead, for he knew what was coming; then he would spread his wings a little and let himself down awkwardly, half-flying and half-scrambling. When he bad finished, he would sit and look at her bones' and doze, till he was able to fly The hours passed, ud the sun rose higher in the sky and struck deeper into the shady well, till be was almost overhead, ud there was scarcely any shadow left. It became very hot and stifling, because the passage through which the air had entered with the water was shut up. Then the traveler took off his loose jacket, and opened bls flannel shirt at the neck, and turned up his sleeves for coolness, and be crept backwards into the hol­ low where the ruby mine was, to shel­ ter himself from the sun. But Baraka edged away to the very foot of the cliff, where there remained a belt of there she took the hem of her one garment in her hands and slowly fanned her little feet. Neither be nor aho had spoken for many hours, and she could see that in the recess of the CHRONIC CHEST COMPLAINTS CAN BE CURED Leaving a Funnel-Shaped Hollow In ■ the' Sand. en without water, and it did not occur to him that Baraka might be hungry. Perhaps, even if ho had known that she was. he would not have given her of what he had; he would have kept it fcr himself. What was the life of a wild hill-girl compared with his? But the vulture was watching him, as well as Baraka, and. would not move from it* pinnacle till the end, though days might pass. Baraka was not thirsty yet, because she had drunk her fill in the morn­ ing, and was not used to drink-often; it was enough that she could look at the man she loved, for the end would come soon enough without thinking •bout IL All day long the traveler crouched In the hollow of the ruby cave, and Baraka watched hi in from her place; when It grew dark the vul­ ture on the pinnacle of rock thrust its ugly head under its wing. As soon as Baraka could not see any more she curled herself up on the white sand like a little wild animal and went to sleep, though she was thirtsy. It was dawn when she awoke, and her linen garment was damp with the -dew, so that the touch of-it refreshed her. The traveler had come out and was lying prone on the sand, his face buried against bis arm, as soldiers sleep in a bivouac. She could not tell whether he was asleep or not, but she knew that be could not see her, and she cautiously sucked the dew from her garment, drawing it up to her mouth and squeezing it between her lips. It was little enough refreshment, but it was something, and she was not afraid, which made a difference. Just as she had drawn the edge of her shift down and round her ankles again, the man turned on his side suddenly, and then rose to "his feet. For an instant he glared at her. and she saw that his blue eyes were bloodshot and burning; then he picked up the heavy camel bag. and ‘began to make bls way round what had been the beach of the pool, towards the passage through which they had entered, and which was now a dry cave, wide below, nar­ row at the top, and between- six or seven feet high. He trod carefully and tried his way. for he feared the quicksand, but he knew that there was none in the passage, since he had walked through the water and had felt the way hard under his feet In a few moments be disappeared under the rock. Baraka knew what he meant to do; he was going to try to dig through the dam at the entrance t,o let the water In, even if he could not get out; but she did not move, for in that narrow place and in the dark she could not have helped hiia. She sat and waited. By and by he would come out. drenched with sweat and yet parching with thirst, and he would glare at her hor­ ribly again; perhaps fee would bemad when he came out and would kill her because she bad brought him there. After some time she heard a very faint sound overhead, and when she looked up the vulture was gone from his pinnacle. She wondered at this, and her eyes searched every point and crevice of the rock as far as she could see. for she knew that the evil bird could only have been frightened away; and though it fears neither bird nor beast, but only man. she could not believe that any human be­ ing could find a foothold near to where it bad perched. For some seconds, perhaps for a whole minute, she saw nothing, though she gazed up steadily, then she saw that a small patch of snowy white was moving slowly on the face of the cliff, at some distance above the place where the vulture had been. She bent her brows in the effort to see more by straining her sight, and meanwhile the patch descended faster than it seemed, possible that a man could climb down that pei^lous steep. Yet and soon she saw him plainly, in his loose shirt and white turban, and with a long gun slung across his back. Nearer still, and he was down to the jutting pinnacle where the vulture had sat, and she saw his black beard; still him, and then her glance darted to he bad come, with his long gun. He was -ber father's brother's son, to Saad, and he was risking his life to come down and kill her and the man whom she had led to the ruby minus for love's sake. He would come-down tin he waa within easy range, and then he would wait till be bad a fair chance at them, when they were standing still, and she traveler's revolver cotild never carry as far os the long gun. Baraka was sure, and Saad could come quite near with aafety, since he seemed able to climb down the face of a fiat rock where there was not foothold for a cat He was still descending, he waa getting very near; If the traveler were not warned he might come out of the cave unsuspiciously and Saad would shoot him. Saad would wish to shoot him first, because of hts revolver, and then he would kill Baraka at his leisure. If he fired at her first the traveler would have a chance at him 'while be waa reloading his old gun. She understood why he had not killed her yet. if indeed be wanted to. for It was barely possible that he loved her enough to take her alive. , After hesitating for a few moments. . not from fear but in doubt, she gath­ ered herself to spring, and made a dash like an antelope along the sand for the mouth of the cave, for she know that Saad would not risk wast­ ing his shot on her while she was run­ ning. She stopped just under the shelter of the rock and called Inward: “Saad Is coming down the rock with his gun!” she cried. “Load your weapon!” When she had given this warning she went out again and stood before the mouth of the cave with her back to it. Saad was on the rock, not 50 feet above the ground, at the other side of the natural wall, but looked as If even he could get no farther down. He was standing w>4fh both his heels on a ledge so narrow that more than haif the length of his brown feet stood over it: he was leaning back, flat against the sloping cliff, and he had his gun before him. for he was This table shows why Mother Wats are the best food.

Never open the windows In your sleeping chamber. See that they are carefully closed st nigh* and the room made as hot and stuffy as possible. Keep out of the sunshine and be careful not to take long, deep breaths. Eat any kind of food, regardless of Its nutritive value. so eat hurriedly. No use wasting time over a matter of this kind. Wear an overcoat one day and go without the next. Change un­ derwear from heavy to light dur­ ing the winter months, and don’t bathe oftener than once a .month. By following these few simple directions you will befriend the doctor, and if persisted In long enough the undertaker will also have a chance to make a dollar. FOR YOUR HEALTH’S SAKE WORRY A HABIT. Worrying Is simply a habit. It Is also a very foolish habit, It cannot be cured by good resolu­ tions nor by talking about It. The best euro Is to keep busy. As "Satan always finds some work for .idle hands to do,” so the Idle mind will always find plenty of perplexitiee of life.

Dickens' Stories in China. • " The Chinese are rapidly taking up western ideas, and translations ot English and French novels are now . in increasing demand. Our romantic and sentimental treatment of love af­ fairs, however, is a thing so foreign to oriental ethics that the hero of the , . ordinary European novel appears to the Chinese mind as a person of per­ verted moral sense and doubtful san­ ity. Translations of Dickens, there­ fore, impress the Chinese reader less than they amuse him, and detective stories and tales of- adventure com­ mand a more sympathetic audience. To the celestial mind the love af­ fairs of David Copperfield can only de­ tract from the human interest of that hero; a Chinese novelist would have j solved his difficulties by making him " woo and marry Dora and Agnes simul­ taneously. So of course John China­ man does not understand the pathos. Nevertheless! Dickens’ work* com­ mand a steady sale.—Woman's Life. True and Faithful.

Two' other - men stood guard st the door, and no one passed in or out Without the exchange of cabalistic signals and the mutter­ ing of mysterious passwords. On the walls of the room the crownweighted lords of Europe reposed, head downward, with black crepe draping and hemming the pictures about. Kindly expressions of “Death to Monarchs!" and “The Dagger for Despots!” twined above and below the spectacle of the kings of the earth upturned. The 13 men ate prodigiously, while tbe lady, who was most ravlshlngly charming, flitted about from one to the other muttering smiling Incendiarisms and passing the things they ate.

"Brothers," he began, “we have a single purpose; it only remains to ascertain which of us will be the In­ strument of of the wrath of the peo­ ple down trodden and oppressed." There was a pounding of clenched flats on the table, a-chorus of assent­ ing voices In a half-dozen barbarous dialects, and a pompadoured Swede shouted: "Down with the usurper!” The speaker resumed: "We shall now see who Is to be the Instrument of righteous vengeance. Mlle. Aimee will spread tbe ballot, and conduct the drawing. Tbe black ball means well, we know that, I think." A low murmur went round the long table as the pretty Aimee procured 11 white balls and a black, one. These she placed in a wooden box, having a lid opening at the top. Tilting the lid so that the contents of the box were ' screened from the 'observation of the drawers, she approached the first man. a red-bearded Slav. The Russian thrust his hand into the box and drew forth a white ball, whereat he seemed much relieved. “Lucky Alexieff." said the Slav's nearest neighbor. "The black ball is certain death, for how can a man slay a’ king and escape? Yet the work must be done." The speaker dived Into the box as he talked and captured a white ball, also.

Then they debated what he meant and decided he wanted the stones thrown on the other side of the track. They started to do that and back came the engineer. "Para, ustedes hombres, para! Didn't ustedes hombres hear what I said? Didn't I tell ustedes hombres to take those piedras and throw them in the middle of the via? Why don’t you do what I said?’ And he marched away, as the peons said suavely, "31, senor." They had another consultation and decided that what he wanted wag to have the piedras thrown clear across the track in the other direction. So they began, again, tossing the stones back again. The engineer came rush­ ing back, shoating: "Para, para! What is the matter with ustedes hombres? Do ustedes hombres take me for a fool?"

Beforf he could put up his guard Johnson’s right fist, driven with all the force ot his muscular black body, landed with a thud on the jaw, and like a flash the colored man's (eft dashed intc Ketchel's stomach. As Stanley bent forward from the force of the blow Johnson swung his right once more and landed fairly on Ketchel’s Jaw. Stanley was knocked ta the floor as if borne down by some irresistible weight and lay there, a quivering mass of unconscious humanity. So fierce bad been Johnson's rush and so rapid­ ly had the blows been delivered that the big black fairly hurtled over the body of his prostrate opponent, stum­ bling to tbe other side of the ring and falling heavily. He arose, evidently in distress from his own fall and the blow Ketchel had, landed previously, and stood, breathing In gasps and holding to the ropes. Ketchel Tries to Arise. Even as he arose Referee Welsh had commenced to to’! off the seconds over the prostrate Ketchel, and Wlllus Britt, the boxer’s ^manager, shouted frantically from the corner for his man to get up. But Ketchel was be­ yond hearing. As the referee drew near the count of ten some instinct made Ketchel struggle feebly and try to rise. But his head wabbled back helplessly, and a moment later his sec­ onds were carrying his bleeding and unconscious body to his corner. • • So quickly had the whole thing hap­ pened that the spectators were taken by surprise. There was dead silence for a moment among tbe-10,000 spectotors. Then when Welsh walked over to the still dazed Johnson and held his band aloft signifying victory, a burst of cheering arose from John­ son’s admirers. If Ketchel was beaten he was not disgraced. Outweighed by 20 pounds, and although the case looked hopeless for him by the third round, the Michi­ gan boxer never faltered or flinched. He rushed in time and again and when he found that his science was not equal to that of Johnson's, he dropped his attempts at being clever and went in to swap blows. On at least three occasions he had Johnson in danger. Train Wrecking Charged. Binghamton, N.

CASHIER A SUICIDE; SHOCK KILLS WOMAN Official of Wrecked Bank at Mineral Point Shoots Himself—MotherIn-Law Drops Dead. Mineral Point, Wia, Oct 19.—F. E. Hanscome, cashier of the wrecked Flrat National bank of Mineral Point, was found lying dead over the grave of his mother in the family plot of the local cemetery, he having ended his life by shooting through the head. Mrs. John Gray, aged 80, mother-in­ law of the dead banker, and to whose home Hanscome’s body was removed, dropped dead when ber son-in-law’s body was brought in. Hanscome was 55 years old and had been despondent for some time past. He was never known to take a vacation. He leaves a widow and two grown daughters. Hanscome’s heavy losses and worry over the fact that he had told deposi­ tors shortly before the bank failed that it was all right are said to be responsible for his acL The dead cashier had been con­ nected with the First National bank since its organization in 1884, ante­ dating Vice-President Allen in point of service. He began as bookkeeper and teller, and carried much of the bank's responsibility on bls shoulders. He had a reputation of strict honesty. The bank, for a generation regard­ ed as one of the strongest in south­ western Wisconsin, was closed a week ago after a week's investigation of the books by Bank Examiner Good­ hart. An attempt waa made to keep the institution on its feet by the sale of mining property in which Allen was Interested, but the deal fell through. It was alleged that the bank had been looted of >200.000 by means of notes forged by Allen. Allen's chief aid In running the bank was Hanscome. The former be­ came seriously ill when the bank was closed, and Hanscome devoted every minute of his time to assisting Exam­ iner Goodhart in straightening out the books.

Burlington. la., Oct 18.—Frost has ruined the apple crop in southeastern Iowa.

Detroit, Micb., Oct 18.—Pittaburg, four times winner of lhe National league pennant, became the champion baseball team of the world when its husky athletes routed Detroit by the score of 8 to 0 in the seventh and de­ ciding contest of tbe series. This victory keeps the big flag in the parent league for the third year, Detroit having thrice failed to wrest the biggest honor that goes with base­ ball from the National league pennant winners. Donovan la Wild. Detroit played its usual anappy In­ field game, but luck was against the team in getting hits when they meant runs. "Wld Bill" Donovan, who start­ ed to pitch for the Jennings tribe, was as wild as a March bare, and in the three innings be lasted he passed six of bis foes and hit one. He predented the first two runs to the Pirates in the second inning without a struggle on their part, for not a hit was made off his delivery in this period. Mullin, who succeeded him in the fourth, was not the pitcher of previous battles. The strain told on him and he did not have the control of former games in the big series. • ‘ The real hero of the world’s cham­ pionship is Charlie Adams, the young­ ster from the Louisville American as­ sociation team, who has crowded Clarke, Leach and Wagner to the background by his great work. He won three of the four victories for his team. . Wagner Run Getter. “Bonus” Wagner was the big run getter of the game. While fib got but one safe connection, it was a ripper, for it went for three bases and sent two runners in. After pausing at the third cushion for a second, he contlnued his Journey to. the home plate when Davy Jones made a bad throw to O’Leary. The crowd was a disappointment, as there were only 17,562 paid admis­ sions. It was expected that the game would break all local attendance rec­ oras.

PURITY CONGRESS MEETS Great Gathering of Reformers at Bur­ lington—Eminent Social Work­ ers on Program. HERE was a time when everybody bought roofings that required painting. It was the regular thing to do. In fact there was nothing else to do, for all roofings were, "smooth sur* faced" and required painting regu, tarty to keep them from detcriorating. Now there is Amatite, an improve­ ment over painted roofings, having a real mineral surface imbedded in pitch—making a kind of flexible concrete. This mineral surface needs no painiintj. The waterproofing ma­ terial. Coal Tar Pitch, is the great­ est enemy to water known. It Is the base of many waterproof paints. Only in a paint the pitch is diluted and made into a thin film, whereas the Amatite waterproofing is solid pure Pitch—two layers of it. It would take something like -v dozen coats of pitch paint to 'equal in thickness that upper sheetvjTf pitch in which the Amatite mincrSSsurface is buried. And under that heavy sheet of pitch is a layer of wool felt and under that another sheet of pitch, just as thick as the outer one.

Many farmers keep a checking account with us regularly because it is a great help and convenience in their every-day business. With a checking account you can tell exactly the total amount of your receipts and expenditures for each month for the entire year.'

RJRNISS Rounds’ ladies orchestra, the first entertainment of this season’s lecture course, more than pleaded the large and appreciative andltoce at the opera house last Wednesday evening. Each musical number was well render­ ed and received hearty applause. The ladies were extremely versatile as each one seemed capable of perform­ ing on nearly every instrument the orchestra comprised. The lady elocutionist appeared to make the hit of the evening, especially in her interpretation of "Good Old Times.” Those deserving of special mention were vocal, violin, bell and trombone soloists. Not only did the trombonist “makegood” on the trombone, but she played cello very creditably and her accompaniment on the piano to the violin solo made the local pianists sit up and take notice. Mr. Round* is a good jolly entertainer and contributed to the evening’s pleasure by singing “The Songs Mother Used to Sing” and “Pony Boy.” Taking the company singly and collectively they are considerably above the average and the manage­ ment of the lecture course are to be congratulated in securing for Nash­ ville so pleasing a company of enter­ tainers. ■ entee of thia pump? ha* been handling engines and pump* for the past ten year* aad ha* for the past season been installing pumps on the- Colum­ bia river for the International' Har­ vester company .

Be not angry, Saad, though he was my father's guest Come down hither and I will tell alL Then you shall shoot me or'take me boose to be your wife, as you will, for 1 am quite innocent" She meant to entice him within range of the stranger's weapon. “There Is no foothold whereby to get lower," he answered, but he rested the stock of his gun on the nar­ row ledge behind him. “Drag out the man's body, that I may see It" “I tell you I buried it I killed him the night before last; I cannot dig him up now.” . “Why did you run .to the mouth of the cave when you saw me. If the man fa dead?" “Because at first 1 was afraid you would shoot me from above, therefore I took shelter." “Why did you come out again, if you were in fear?” “After I had run in I was ashamed. Ter I felt sure that you would not kill me without hearing the truth. So I came out to speak with you. Get down, and I will show you the man's grave." “Have I wings’ I cannot come down. It is Impossible." Baraka felt a puff of hot air pass her, Just above her right ankle, and at the Mme instant she beard a sharp report, not very loud, and more like the snapping of a strong but very dry stick than the explosion of firearms. She instinctively sprang to the left, keeping her eyes on Saad. For a moment he did not move. But be was already dead as he slowly bent forward from the rock, making a deep • obeisance with both arms hang­ ing down before him, so that his body shot down perpendicularly to the sand, where It struck head first, rolled over and lay motionless In a heap. The traveler’s was a Mauser pistol that would have killed as surely at 500 yards as 50; and the bullet had gone through the Tartar's brain. Baraka sprang up the sandy slope and rap along the narrow beach to the body. In an instant she had detached the large brown water-gourd from the thong by which he it had hung over Saad's shoulder, and she felt that it was full. Without a thought for her­ self she hastened back to the mouth of the cave where the traveler was now standing. His face wm dripping with perspiration that ran down Into his matted golden beard, his eyes were wild, his hands were bleeding. “Drink!" cried Baraka Joyfully, and she gave him the gourd. He gripped it as a greedy dog snaps at a bit of meat, and pulling out the wooden plug he set the gourd to his lipa, with an expression of beatitude. But he was an old traveler and only drank a little, knowing that bls life might depend on making the small supply last. A gourd of water was worth more than many rubles just then. “Are you very thirsty yet?" he asked in. a harsh voice. "No," anrwered Baraka bravely; “keep it for yourself." His hand closed round the neck of the gourd and he looked up towards the rocks above. The vulture had come back and was circling slowly down. “You had better bury th. body, while I go on working," said the trav­ eler, turning back into the cave and taking the gourd with him. Baraka had marked the place where he had tried to dig for water and had almost disappeared In the quicksand. She took from the body the wallet, in which were dates and some half-dry bread, and then dragged and pushed and rolled the dead man from the place where he had fallen. The vul­ ture Mt on the lowest ledge where bis claws could find a bold, and though he watched her with horrible red eyes while she robbed him of his prey, be did not dare go nearer. The body sank into the moving Band, and Baraka had to roll herself back to firmer ground In hMte.to es­ cape being swallowed up with the dead man. The last she saw of him WM one brown foot sticking up. It sank slowly out of sight, and then she want to the hollow where the ruby mine wm and took up a piece of the broken crust, full of precious stones, and threw it at the vulture as hard as abe could. It did not hit him. but be at teee tumbled off the ledge Into the air, opened his queer, bedraggled wings and struck upwards. Then Baraka Mt down in the shade aad slowly brushed away the dry sand that had got into the folds of her lin­ en garment, and looked steadily at the mouth of the cave and tried not to realize that her throat was parched and her lips almost cracking with thirst, and that the traveler had a gourd almost fujj of water with him. For she loved him, and was willing to die that he might live a little longer; besides, if he succeeded in digging his way out. there - would be plenty to drink, and when he wm free she wm sure that he would love her because she had made him so rich. The sun rose higher and at last shoae down 4o the bottom of the chum, and she Mt in .the narrow strip of shade, where she had passed most of the previous day. She wm very thirsty and feverish, and felt tired, and wished she could sleep, but could not. Still the traveler toiled In the darkneM, and from time to time she heard sounds from far away as of stones and loose earth falling. He wm •tttii working hard, for he wm very • tmng and be was desperate. Baraka thought that If he wm able to dig through the dam the water would run In again, and she watched the sand for hours, but it was, drier than ever. The shadow broadened again, and crept up the rock quickly m the afternoon passed It wm a long time since she had heard any sound from the cave; she went to the entrance and listened, but all wm quite still. Perhaps the trav­ eler had fallen Mleep from exhaus­ tion, too tired even to drag himself out into the air when he could work no longer. She Mt down in the en­ trance and waited. An hour passed. Perhaps be wm dead. At the mere inward suggestion Baraka sprang to her feet, and her heart beat frantically, and stood still an Instant, and then beat again as if it would burst, and she could hardly breathe. She steadied herself against the lock, and then went In to know the truth, feeling her way, and in­ stinctively shading her eyes m many people do in the dark. A breath of cool air made her open them, and to her amazement there was light .before her. She thought she must have turned quite round while she was walking, and that she wm going back to the entrance, so she turned again. But in a few sec­ onds there was light before tier once more, and soon she mw the dry sand, full of her footprints and the travel­ er's, and then the hollow where the mine wm came, in sight She retraced her steps a sedbnd time, mw the light as before, ran for­ ward on the smooth sand and stumbled upon.a heap of earth and stones, just m she mw the sky through an Irregu­ lar opening on the level of her face.

Baraka crept up the slope of earth m quickly as she could and got out; if she had hoped to find him waiting for her she wm dfaappointed, for he wm nowhere to be seen. He bad got clear away, with hfa camel-bag full of rubies. A moment later she wm lying on the ground, with her face in the stream, drinking her fill, and forgetful even of the man she loved. In order to deprive them of water the men had dug a channel by which It ran down di­ rectly from the spring to the ravine on that side; then they had blocked up the entrance with stones and earth, believing that one man’s strength could never suffice to break through, and they had gone away. They bad prob­ ably buried or burnt Baraka's clothes, for ahe did not see them anywhere. She ate some nf the dates from the dead man's wallet, and a bit of the dry black bread, and felt revived, since her greatest need had been for water, and that wm satisfled. But when .'he had eaten and drunk, aad that she would have fallen Mleep If the pain in her heart had not kept her awake. She clasped her hands to­ gether on h<*r knees and bent over them, rocking herself. When nearly an hour had passed she looked up and mw that the sun wm sinking, for, the shadows wqre turning purple In the deep gorge, and there wm h golden light oh.the peeks above. She listened then, holding her breath; but'there wm no sound ex­ cept the tinkling of the tiny stream as it fell over a ledge at some distance below her. following Its new way down into the valley. She rose at last, looked upward, and seemed about to go away when a thought occurred to her. which after­ wards led to very singular conse­ quences. Instead of going down the valley or climbing up out of It. she went back to the entrance of the cave, taking the wallet with her, dragged herself in once more over the loose stones and earth, reached the secret hollow where the pool bad been, and made straight for the little mine of precious stones. The traveler bad broken out many more than he had been able to carry, but she did not try to collect them all. She wm not alto­ gether ignorant of the trade carried on by the men of her family for gen­ erations, and though she had not the leMt Idea of the real value of the finest of the rubies, she knew very well that it would be wise to take many small ones which she could ex­ change for clothing and necessaries with the first women she met in the hills, while hiding the rest of the sup­ ply she would be able to carry in the wallet When she bad made her wise.se' action. she looked once more towards the quickMnd. and left the place tor ever. Once outside ahe began to climb the rocks m fMt as she could, for very soon it would be night and she would have to lie down and wait many hours for the day. since there wm no moon, and the way wm very dangerous, even for a Tartar girl who could almost tread on air. High up on the mountain, over the dry well where Baraka and the stran­ ger had been Imprisoned, the vulture perched alone with empty craw and drooping wings.

She waa slender and delicate, with an exquisite, appealing beauty. He was big and strong and lusty. They met at the seashore, and, in the privacy created by a crowd, their intimacy grew apace. -She knew "be­ fore she had spoken to him at all that she loved him. As' soon as be touched her hand he knew that she was the only girl ho ever could love. The gossips smiled and nodded, whispering behind open fans as gos­ sips will. The first Interview lasted only an hour, but it ended down be­ hind the overturned boat that lies at the foot of the cliff and the boat screened his first kiss. All through the evening, far into the night, that kiss hung as a vMl between him and the rest oMbe world.* As for her, she remembered him In her prayers that night. Please, dear Gofi, bless Jack! For he was Jack to her, Jack and only Jack, and it seemed to hir that in asking God to bless him, she was asking for a-blessing for her entire world. The next morning they met as did acquaintances meet—no, as lovers meet—and straightway they entered into Paradise. They were the first two. They were the only two. The day lengthened, the shadows grew and with the shadows came the angel with the flaming sword. To the two there appeared a stran­ ger. a stranger who attracted his at­ tention from that first love of his. She stood aloof from thetp for a moment, then begged some trifling aid from him..then led him far away, down the beach, a long, long distance f'om the overturned boat. When he returned there was no radi­ ant Eve awaiting him In the garden. Had he dallied too long? Had she grown tired of X waiting? Had she thought him faithless? The sands about the boat were empty, desolate! The gates of Paradise were closed. A gray sea-fog held all the world. He waited while the night closed in about him. but he saw no glimpse of her. he-heard no sound of her. In the early morning, he sought her, first by the overturned boat where the Garden of Eden had so lately flourished, then up. and down all the long length of the beach. But bis search was vain. At last he found her. though, sitting on the sand sheltered by a circle of those silly, whispering gossips. There could be no speech with her under their watching eeys, near their listen­ ing ears. She would not raise her eyes to his, although he felt in every quivering nerve that she knew that he One by one the gossips drifted away. Were they being kind to him or only kind to love? With downcast eyes and fingers ab­ sorbed in her work, she sat alone, too proud to fly from nim. His heart at his finger-tips, ready to lay at her feet, he approached her softly. “Dosla," he whispered, but she did not even raise her eyes. "Dosla, Dosla, please!" he implored, and still her eyelids did not‘qulver. "Dosla, Dosla, won’t you speak to me? Don't you know me!" He was prostrate at her feet, and now she raised her eyes, her eyes that had been blue and soft as the sky at noon, but now were cold as steel, from them shot the gleams that the de­ mon of jealousy had stolen from the angel's flaming sword. “I? I know you? Yes, I know just who and what you are." Her voice was Ironical. They were the only words she spoke. Again with downcast eyes she went on with her work. But he knew that the end of all tnings had come and he strode away to face a future as long and as empty and as cold as eternity. After a long time, though, be. too, found consolation in work, in a kind ot work that enabled him to forget even love. He built a high sand fort with a tower that might reach even to the stars. And her work? It wu a deep, deep tunnel under the sand. For he— he was only five years old and she was only six.—The Bohemian. An Explorer’s Triala Dr. Sven Hedin, the famous traveler and explorer, who has just returned to civilization after two years in Tibet, had some terrible experiences during a former journey through that region of the world. He has told how, owing to the high altitude at which he and hte party traveled, that to unbutton one's coat meant acute pain and ten­ sion to an overwrought heart, which literally was at a point of breaking. His only safety lay in the fact that he never left the saddle for a single mo­ ment from morning till evening. Had he done so his heart would have given way. At one time they were nine days without water, and when at last he saw a small i-ool Dr.' Hedin drank five pinta without stopping. An Interesting experiment has been made by a Mr. Simpson of Port Elisa­ beth, Cape Colony, In order to prove tha? there Is room for a new industry in South Africa. Mr. Simpson has be­ come impressed with the fact that paj>er might be cheaply manufactured rrom the aloe, and to support his the­ ory he has made a large sheet of pa­ per. He had no machinery, and there­ fore the paper Is somewhat loose grained. But it Is strong and of suffi­ ciently good quality to suggest that Mr. Simpson Is right in his contsn- desperation, he seized th'- photograph that decorated his bureau and turned ft face downward. No doubt It was a fancy, but it seemed to him that the picture smiled In mingled amuse­ ment and derision. "What?" be cried. "Would you?" And snatching up the .photograph, he tore It into fragment*, and threw It into his waste basket, immediately thereafter throwing himself Into his easy chair and groaning In the anguish of his mind. (Ah, my beloved‘ones, take heed!) "I know what I’ll do! "he groaned. •Tn pitch a penny for iL Heads, I’ll go; tails, I won't." He flipped a penny and quickly cov­ ered it with his hand, drawing along breath before he looked at.the coin. Tails. "There!" he cried. “That settles it! And as though everything was over then, he brushed his hair with wonder­ ful nicety, and opening his wardrobe, he drew out his other coat and brushed that, too, though In a sulky ao,rt of way. frowning fiercely and pouching his lips. “Walt!" he muttered, catching sight of a pack of cards on his table. TH cut for 1L Rad: I’ll go. Black: I won’t, go." He shuffled the cards,. with moat unusual pare, separated the pack, groaned heavily, and looked at the card he had cut. The nlqe ot spades. "There!" be cried. “Now It is set.tied! Now I won’t go!" And groaning again, he opened a tianer tnnk put nut Iwn paper hair bag and took two now new ifecktffes, one of green silk, one of blue. After a torment of comparison he selected-the greon one and draped It around his collar as though the fate of empires depended upon the beauty of the effect. . “I know what Hl do!" he said, catching sight of the pincushion. 'Til just count these pins, if h's an even number, i'll go. If It's odd, I won't go." ■ "One, two three . . . fifteen . . . sixteen . . . seventeen. “There!" he muttered, wiping his brow, after he had kneaded the pin­ cushion 'in vain for another pin, “now I won’t go!" It suddenly seemed to him that the green tie was not as becoming as the blue one. He made the change with feverish fingers, dashed Into his coat and hat, groaned again— And out he went. (Ah, my beloved ones, take heed!) “I know what I’ll do!” he muttered, as he came to a crossing. “If I can get over to the other sidewalk in less than ten steps. I’ll go. If It takes more than ten steps I won't go.” And though he strode over the cross­ ing with giant strides, almost injuring himself in his unbiased endeavor, be couldn't make it In less than 11—not for the life of him. "Now!" he growled fiercely to him­ self. “Now I won't go!" Setting his teeth, he charged Into a florist's shop and bought a dozen roses. He laid these across his arm. strode out again and moodily contem­ plated the night "If that car stops, I'll go," he mut­ tered. “If It doesn't stop, I won't go." It didn’t stop. "There!" he groaned, as though in relief. “Now It Is settled!” Whereupon he entered a candy shop and bought a pound of the best. "Now, I’ll just walk one block this way," be said to himself, "and then I’ll turn right around and go home." So he walked one block that way. “One more.” he aald. So he walked one more. "Now another," he aald. So he walked another. "Now this one," he said. But In the middle of this one he stopped and looked at a certain house, •cowling at It apltefully and pouching his lips again. "I’ll go up the steps," ba muttered, "and come right down again—just to show myself I can do it." At the top of the steps he stepped into the vestibule, placed the flowers and candy on the floor and drew the penny out of his pocket “Heads 1*11 ring the bell,** aald he. "Talla I won’t" Tala it was. "Beat two out of three," he said. Tail* again. "Beat three out of five.” Tail* again. Whereupon he picked up the candy and the flowers, turned around and rang the bell. The door opened. He entered; and toward midnight, when the door re­ opened and be reappered, a maiden kissed him with an unmistakable air of ownership, and whispered to him that he was her lion-hearted knight Ah, my beloved ones, take heed, for Destiny had-loved that man In vain, and even Fate had done her best to keep him safe from harm!

We have changed our mind as to the poetic attributes of'the meek and gentle fly, which la so beautifully mentioned In the verses for the little ones, beginning: “Baby by, here's a fly, let us watch him, ymi and L” Once we believed that the fly was a cheering companion of the household, and we loved to see him feed off of our band, but we began changing our opinion when he manifested an ardent desire to hold picnics on our alleged bald spot. A fly has no gratitude in. Its make-up. A fly has -no heart-throbs . of affection. It would Just as lief wade through the butter or sit down In the soup of Its best friend as not. We are moved to these earnest re­ flections by the unfriendly conduct of a fly that we have boarded all winter. We have grown familiar with it, and have rescued it many a time from glasses of milk or Iced tea in which it thought it could swim. Therefore, why, when we saw that fly sleeping on the mirror last night and refrained from waking it, why should, that fly get up at 4:30 this morning and alng In our ears and bite our nose and otherwise ruin three hours of the best sleep a man might have had?

The Grand Rapids Press, in a re­ cent issue, gave a fine view of Nash­ ville’s Main street, and speaking of the town had the following compli­ mentary remarks to make: One of the prettiest little villages in Southern Michigan is Nashville, a town of 1,500 population on the Mich­ igan Central railroad, forty-five miles south of Grand Rapids. From the time one steps off die train until the farther limit of the village has been reached, neatness and order mark tbe progress of the visitor. But Nash­ ville's business men are enterprising and this, in a measure, accounts for the appearance of the town, especially that of the Main street. Right in the midst of a good farming country, Naahville is headquarters for ship­ pers in many lines of agricultural in­ dustry. But more than this the vil­ lage has factories and sawmills and manages to make its small mark in the traffic in manufactured products of tne state of Michigan. For its size the place has a large number of lodges of fraternal societies. With fine churches, public schools, waler* works, sewer system, fire department, an opera house and two banks, Nash­ ville is surely an example of progeess. Your cough annoys you. Keep on hacking and tearing the delicate mem­ branes of your throat If you want to be annoyed. But if you want relief, want to be cured,* take Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. Sold by C. H.

That the story told In Rasmussen's report of his im­ pressions of Dr. Cook, as made pub­ lic by Mrs. Rasmussen at Copenhagen, lacks authority Is the substance of Peary’s message. .

Racconlgi, Italy, Oct. 25.—Nicholas, emperor of all the Russians, made a triumphal entry into* Italy. Whatever may have stirred beneath the surface, the outward manifestation was a cor­ dial and popular welcome to the head of a friendly state. Threatened dem­ onstrations of 111 will had been stern­ ly suppressed, but the day's rejoic­ ing was spontaneous and genuine, even tbe mayor of Rome having been sent by a radical and socialistic board of aidermen to participate in the im­ perial reception. Broadly viewed, the much-discussed and keenly anticipated meeting be­ tween Emperor Nicholas and King Victor Emmanuel opened most auspi­ ciously. * Meeting of Victor snd Nicholas. At the station Emperor Nicholas was met by King Victor Emmanuel, Premier Giolitti, Foreign Minister J*ittool. Mayor Nathan of Ro^e, members of the court, staff oncers and govern­ ment dignitaries. These had driven to the station In brightly decked car­ riages, with outriders and escorted by cuirassiers. King Victor Emmanuel wore the full uniform of a general, tflth the collar of the Order of An­ nunziata. Also as near, the station as* they had been allowed to come were thousands of persons, who cheered loudly as their majesties met. With the troops and such persons from the neighboring districts as had satisfied the police of their right to be present, the population of Racconigl rose from 9,000 to over 20,000. Sovereigns Embrace and Kiss. Emperor Nicholas appeared In ex­ cellent health and the best o^ humor as he stepped from the train, which had drawn into t£e station five minutes ahead of Its schedule. His coach had been decorated with the Italian and Russian colors. King Victor Emman­ uel stepped toward the Imperial car­ riage as the emperor descended to the platform. The sovereigns embraced and kissed each other on both cheeks. At the moment the Italian troops pre­ sented arms, cannon belched forth a salute, the bands struck up the Rus­ sian national anthem and the crowd cheered. Accompanied by the king, the em­ peror reviewed a company of infantry Inside the ststlon. Here the ministers and other government dignitaries were presented to his majesty, following which ceremony the sovereigns emerged from the station and entered a carriage. As the people outside caught sight of the king and his Im­ perial guest, tbe cheering was re­ newed and continued as their majes- Albany, N. Y., Oct 25.—Rufus W.

The year I opened with popular excitement and emigration active toward Barry county. During that' year fourteen out of sixteen townships beard the woodman’s axe reverberating through their unbroken forests. Seventy-two yearn ago this May Eli Lapham, with one son, Leander, and daughter, Sophronta, emigrated from Detroit by the way of Bellevue, thence to Cleveland Ellis’ in Assyria, driving an ox team over roads al­ most impassable. A portion of their goods was left at Bellevue. On reach­ ing Mr. Ellis’ the conveyance was abandoned, the road being no longer passable. • The father and sonv each with an axe and some provisions, struck out for their location In the southeast corner of Maple Grove township, where in three days they had erected a cabin for the daughter to begin housekeeping in.' It had neither win­ dows-or floor; it was simply poles covered with a bark roof. This daughter, then 15 years old, was the only white woman in "the township for three months. The Indians were not hostile and the white people soon be­ came satisfied that they would not molest them. Mr. Lapham and son immediately began to cut the timber and prepare the ground for wheat. This was sown broadcast and dragged in among stumps so thick that it was nearly im­ possible to work among them. One naif of this piece was sown the first day of November. That night a heavy snow covered the ground. In January there was a heavy thaw and the remaining ground was sown: then a heavy snow covered it until the last of March. This last piece did not have u chance to sprout until spring. The first sown made a large yield, white the last matured no grain, being subsequently cut for hay. In the fall of 1837 Lorenzo Mudge and family passed their first night in Barry county in the little cabin built and just vacated by Eli Lapham. he having built more commodious quar­ ters for his family. This wag Septem­ ber It* and on September 23 Mudge moved his family and household ef­ fects to the place which was to be their future home, he and the hired man having cut u road through the forest to his location in Castleton township. The family occupied a de­ serted wigwam as a shelter The In­ dians were v«ry indignant when they discovered the intruders, but soon be­ came friendly and gave their services in handling the logs for the log house he bujlt later on. After moving into the new house a daughter was born to them, which was the .first white child born in Castleton. A Pioneer. Horrible.

There was unlimited CHAPTER IL-Continued age and determination. The Greek was the more cunning of the two, by great odds, and had now the considerable advantage of having been accepted by the lady: but the American was far more regardless of cons.quences to himself or to others in the pursuit of mitting a crime, would put at least as broad an interpretation on the law. Logotheti had always lived in a highly civilised society, even in Constanti­ nople, for it is the greatest mistake to Imagine that the upper classes of Greeks, in Greece or Turkey, are st all deficient in cultivation. Van Torp, on the contrary, had run away from clvllluuon when a half-educated boy. it at any price, from a Me to a life. Lady Maude was thinking of these things as she disappeared from Griggs' sight, for she was a little afraid that she had made trouble. Tea days had passed since she had last written to Rufus Van Torp, and she had told him; amongst other things, that Mme. de Cordova and Logotheti were en­ gaged to be married, adding that it seemed to her one bf -the 'most Ill-as­ sorted matches of the season, and that her friend the singer was sure to be miserable herself and to make her husband perfectly wretched, though he was a very good sort in his way and she liked him. There had been no reason why she should not write the news to Mr. Van Torp. even though it was not public property yet, for he was her intimate friend, and she knew him to be as reticent as all ■doctors ought to be- and as some so­ licitors’ clerks are. She had asked him not to tell any one till he heard of the engagement from some one else. He had not spoken of It. but some­ thing else had happened. He had cabled to Lady Maud that he was com­ ing back to England by the next steamer. He often came out and went back suddenly two or three times at short Intervals, and then stayed away for many months, but Lady Maud thought there could not be much doubt as to his reason for coming now. She knew well enough that he had tried to persuade the prlma donna to marry him-during the previous win­ ter, and that If his passion for her had not shown Itself much of late, this was due to other causes, chiefly to the persecution of which he had rid him­ self just before he went to America, but to some extent also to the fact that Margaret had not seemed in­ clined to accept any one else. Lady Maud, who knew the man bet­ ter than he knew himself, Inwardly compared him to a volcano, quiescent just now. so far as Margaret was con­ cerned, but ready to break out at any moment with unexpected and destruc­ tive energy. Margaret herself, who had known Logotheti for years, and had seen him In his most dangerous moods as well as in his best moments, would have thought a similar comparison with an elemental force quite as truly descriptive of him. If It had 'occurred to her. The enterprising Greek had really attempted to carry her off by force on the night of the final re­ hearsal before her first appearance on the stage, and had only been thwarted because a royal rival had caused him to be locked up, as if by mistake, in Qrder to carry her off himself; in which be also had failed most ridicu­ lously, thanks to the young singer's friend, the celebrated Mme. Bonanni. That was a very amusing story. But on another occasion Margaret had found herself shut up with her ori­ ental adorer tn a room from which she could not escape, and he had quite lost his head; and if sbe had not been the woman she was. she would have fared ill. After that he had behaved more like an ordinary human being, and she had allowed the natural at­ traction he had for her to draw her gradually to a promise of marriage; and now she talked to Lady Maud about her gown, but she still put off naming a day for the wedding, in spite of Logothetl's growing impatience. This was the situation when the London season broke up and Mr. Van Torp landed at Southampton from an ocean greyhound that had covered the distance from New York in 5 days 12 hours and 37 minutes, which will doubtless seem very slow traveling if any one takes the trouble to read this tale 20 years hence, though the pas­ sengers were please^ because It was not much under the record time for steamers coming east Five hours after be landed Van Torp entered Lady Maud's drawing room in the little house in Charles street, Berkeley Square, where she had lived with the departed Leven from the time when be had been at­ tached to the Russian embassy till he had last gone away. She was giving it up now, and it was already half dis­ mantled. ’ It was to see Van Torp that she was in town in the middle of August, instead of with her father at Craythew or with friends in Scotland. London was a« hot as it could be, which means that a New Yorker would have found It chilly and an Italian de­ lightfully cool; but the Londoners were sweltering when Van Torp ar­ rived, and were talking of the oppres­ sive atmosphere and the smell of the pavement, not at all realising how blessed they were. • . The American entered and stood still a moment to have a good look at Lady Maud. He was a middle-sized, rather thick-set man. with rude hands, sandy hair, an over-developed jaw, and sharp blue eyes that sometimes fixed themselves in a disagreeable way when he was speaking—eyes that had looked into the barrel of another man’s revolver once or twice without wavering, hands that had caught and saddled and bridled many an unridden colt In the plains, a mouth like a car­ pet-bag when It opened, like a closed vice when It was shut He was not a handsome man. Mr. Rufus Van Torp, nor one with whom, any one short of a prize-fighter would meddle, nor one to haunt the dreams of sweet 18. It was not for his face that Lady Maud, good and beautiful, liked him belter than any one in the world, except her own father, and believed in him and trusted him, and it was assuredly not for his money. The beggar did not live who would dare to ask him for a penny after one look at his face, and there were not many men on either side of the Atlantic who would have looked forward to any sort of contest middling? About that? Well—I'm glad to see you, gladder than a sitting Why do you look so surprised? Would you rather I hadn’t?" Lady Maud laid her left, hand affec­ lady Maud shook her head and her tionately on the man’s right, which voice rippled deliciously as she an­ swered: “I can hardly imagine you without the Nickel Trust that's all! What in the world shall you do with your­ self?” “Oh, various kinds of things. I think I’ll get married, for one. Then I’ll take a rest and sort of look around. Maybe something will turn up. I've concluded, to win the Derby next year-—that's something anyway.” “Rather! Have you thought of any­ thing else?” She laughed a little, but was grave the next momenL for she imew him much too well to believe that he had taken such a step out of caprice, or a mere fancy for change. He noticed the grave look and was silent for a few momenta. “The Derby’s a side show,” he said at lasL “I've come over to get mar­ ried. and I want you to help me. Will you?” "Can I?" asked Lady Maud, evas­ ively. “Yes, you can, and I believe there’ll be trouble unless you do." “Who Is she? Do I know her?"

Not a sister to be waited upon, ca­ ressed and pampered, and for whom to deny one’s self ail but the very necessities of life that sbe may be able to dress, go, and be properly ‘•fin­ ished” for a fashionable butterfly, but a sister who is better than any otber fellow’s sister. A sister who is a companion of a noble boyhood, a sharer of joys and sorrows, of pre­ serves and spanks, and who is always ready with a “Johnny didn’t rpean to.” One to whom a fellow can tell a thing or two without her being jealous or tattling,' or making fun of him. Some one who will do first rate when mother is busy, whether it be to sew up a holq, lie up a sore finger or help to soften the pain in an aching heart. Ob, it is no small thing to be a suc­ cess as a sister unless, perchance, you like it. Then comes promotion, and the true sister begins another term of lessons. The One. Man in the world comes along, and he likes the boy’s sister, and being just a little bit hungry for social chit-chat and kindly sympathy from the womenfolk, stops to talk with her. If she is one of the airyfairy Lillian sort, allowing honey to drip from her lips in flattering speech and coquetry the while she is direct­ ing Cupid where to aim his bow, he will pass on—or wish he had. Hut finding her entertaining and sensible, he becomes interested and serious,and he comes again. The acquaintance ripens into friend ship and the even tenor of their rela­ tions goes on, If he chances to call immediately after dinner, she does not hasten from the kitchen in a flutter of excitement, leaving mother to finish the dishes, while she uses a few drops of “wild wood violets” to take away the odor of the sqds, and keep him waiting while she dons a pretty frock whose only relation to the kitchen is its immaculate cleanliness, showing a recent visit to mother's wash tub, and hastens down to find that he had stopped in a hurry on his way to his work iust to ask if sbe would like to attend some place of amusement in the evening, and her tardy appear­ ance has caused him to be late. Or if he comes just before tea, she will not pout and make him uncomfortable by a thousand excuses for not having a more sumptuous repast to set before his majesty. If there is one thing a young man likes it is to be comfort­ able. And if there is anything that will please a man's vanity more than anything else, it is to make him feel that he is “just like one of the fami- her that the step she is now taking is the most important one in her whole life. ■ ■ “For better or for worse.” How many lips ha vs thoughtlessly uttered tlie words, and bow many heartaches have been caused by the union of two lives who, mismated, dragged out a miserable existence together, declar­ ing marriage, the holiest ordinance of God, a lottery, and wonder why others so easily climb tbe ladder of success, not knowing that the greatest im|>etus to noble achievements Is domestic felicity. Milton says: “Nothing lovelier can be found In woman than to study household good, And good work-in her husband to pro­ mote.” I believe any woman who truly wishes it can become a good house­ keeper. And to this end she will do well to bear constantly in mind two points. The first. Cleanliness is next to Godliness—get next, and the second H “The we y to a man’s heart is by tbe way . of his stomach.” The ever important matter of economy will be settled through experience,, patience and perseverance. It is unwise to confound the accomp­ lishment of housekeeping with the art of home making. To be. a success as a home maker, the total of all mottos is not sufficient, but the first require­ ment is a full and liberal interpreta­ tion of the little word, upon the four letters of which rest the four corners of the home. LOVE. “Honor to women. To them it is given. To garden the earth with tbe roses of By and by there comes a time when* ail is hushed and still, and the young husband anxiousl v waits. The final thing in tlie .making of the woman comes with the inexpressible joys of motherhood. For when God made woman be considered her good enough to be the mother of man. Then begins the “Trial of patience that worketh faith.” And the"woman who “Conquereth her spirit” in the years that follow, is indeed “Greater that he who taketh a city,” because she has conquered a whole generation when she has taught her child the law of right living, which never can lie taught with loss of tem|»er. If one cannot rule one’s self, one cannot reasonably expect to control another, and it requires more tact and better judgment to merit the confidence and good will of a child tl«sn of a man.

And the woman's home will not be the last place a boy thinks of when, late at night, with weary feet and aching head, he seeks tbe only rest possible for a young life ruined by excesses, the rest of oblivion. Rather mother’s fireside will be the best place on earth. A safe guard for her own boy, and a lifeline to sombody’s less fortunate boy. We havc only touched the high places in the making of a woman, and when we consider the man’s privileges, opportunities, and duties that lie be­ tween, isn’t it a wonder that so many of us yawn with ennui, and fill in the time with gossip and bridge, and others seek to show the law makers how tbe affairs ought to run?

The case of the People vs. Daniel Rice of Carlton for furnishing liquor to a party has been adjourned to No­ vember 10. . We are sorry to learn of the mis­ fortune of Erwin Mapes. It seems that Erwin came to the city last Sat­ urday to join the matrimonial society. After procuring the necessary license, he and his wife-to-be went to. the county clerk's private ortice. accoraEanied by Mr. and Mrs. Spitzer of untield. and notified Judge Mack that his services were needed to tie the knot. After the ceremony had been performed and, ail partieshad departed, a hand bag which had been left on the table by a lady from Grand Rapids was found missing. A purse containing about eight dollars was in­ side the hand bag. After an inves­ tigation, it was thought the parties at the marriage needed the money and had taken it. A warrant was sworn out and Deputy Sheriff Manni started after them, catching them near Coats Grove, and brought them back to. the city. The parties arrested were Mr. and Mrs. Mapes and Mrs. Spitzer. Isaac Pettengill was notified and came to the city and bailed them out. thinking it hardly fair for Mr. and Mrs. Mapes to spend their honeymoon in jail. We understand that Mr. and Mrs. Mapes and Mrs. Spitzer have always had a good reputation. The hand bag and purse were found later in Mr. Russ' store. We are informed that D. D. Shu­ maker has sold the American laundry to Bert and Olive Zagelmeir. WANT COLUMN NORTH END GROCERY Fob Rbxt—Best stdre In Nashville; al­ so two nail* on second floor. A. C. Buxton.

The vibrations continued from 10 to 25 seconds, ac­ cording to observers in different towns. Windows were shattered, chimneys prostrated, dishes broken and small pieces of furniture moved, but so far as known the financial damage was nominal.

GRAND JURY WILL TAKE HOLD Bomb-Throwing Starts State’s Attor­ ney arid Other Officials on Sweeping Investigation into the Gambling Situation In Chicago. Chicago, Nov. 2. — Chief of Police Steward declared that as a result of the explosion of bombs 33 and 34 at 260 State street and 170 Madison street, gambling of all kinds would be stopped in Chicago and that he would put every man in the police de­ partment to work to find and punish the bomb throwers. The two explosions, which did dam­ age aggregating thousands of dollars. Indicated that the gamblers’ war had reopened and the chief ordered all games of every description closed in consequence. After Poolroom Man. At the same time detectives were sent out to find Ed Wagner, poolroom man and the alleged promoter of the .plans to fit out the most luxurious gambling den In Chicago at the State street number. Wagner, in spite of repeated efforts, could not be found, and It was rumored thta he bad left the city. Other trails led toward ex­ constables who are known to have blackmailed many gamblers in the past since the'abolition of justice of the peace courts. Chief Steward had many detectives at work on this angle. f The chief called Assistant Chief Schuettler, CapL Wood, chief of the detective bureau, and Inspector Lavin in whose district the explosions oc­ curred, before him And laid out their work for them, telling them In vigor­ ous language^to find the men respon­ sible. The assistant chief, who had just returned to Chicago, busied himself on the case and Inspector Lavin re­ sumed his work of inquiry with only three houra' sleep. Capt. Wood gave his detectives a vigorous talk, telling them to find the conspirators or get out of the detective bureau, and add­ ing that if they failed, he would re­ sign and go with them. State’s Attorney Gets Busy. A sweeping investigation of the ex­ plosions. as well as the extent of gambling, ita alleged protection by po­ lice and political influences and the scope and cause of the war among the gamblers was started by State’s At­ torney Wayman and hi* assistants. Gambling operations, which have never ceased In Chicago, say those who ought to know, are to be made the subject of general grand jury in­ quiry. The dragnet of the grand jury which will begin Its session next week may be used to Its full extent to uncover the gambling situation In Chicago and to fasten the blame for the operations of the gambling rings In this city If the state’s attorney ceives certain information which he directed his Investigate™ to get Envelopes In Bank Empty.

Outbreak Brings the Military Troubles to a Crisis and Threatens Occu- Athens, Oct. 30.— Actual revolt by tbe Tlbaldoe faction in the Greek navy brought the whole military crisis in the kingdom to a head. The situation is acute and whether or not the next event will be the longexpected abdication of King George seems to hinge on tbe happenings of tbe immediate future. The govern­ ment ia meeting the situation with unexpected firmness. Ti bald os seized the government arscnal at Salamis, and is now en­ trenched there with a force of about 300 naval officers, the men who with­ drew from the city on Wednesday, leaving a 24-hour ultimatum for the government's consideration. Struggle Perfunctory. The struggle over the arsenal was perfunctory, tbe guard putting up but a feeble defense. It is recognized everywhere, however, as an overt act ' against the throne, and It was imme. diately met at the palace by a proc­ lamation of TI baldos as a traitor and . an order for bis arrest. Troops have been thrown around the ministry of marine, and business is practically suspended In the cap­ ital Tibaldos is the commander of a flotilla of torpedo boats and. subma­ rines. It appears that he demands that he be appointed minister of ma­ rine, and threatens that, if this is not conceded, he will overthrow the gov­ ernment and establish a dictatorship. Revolt Ended. Tibaldos’ miniature rebellion has been suppressed, according to an official announcement made 'by the government. Nevertheless, dan• ger of the revolt breaking out in new places will exist so long as the mutinous lieutenant remains at large. Capt. Mlzoules, commander of the battleship squadron, has re-occupied the arsenal captured by the rebels. The torpedo boat Velos returned to the arsenal without Lieut Tibaldos. who is'still missing. The commander of the Velos has been arrested. One hundred and twenty officers who had gone with Tibaldos, landed at Rlnelto and hid themselves in a wood. Gendarmes dispersed them while they were attempting to hold up a train bound for Larissa. Patrols now are pursuing the fugitives.

New Orleans, Nov. L—The big Wa­ terways convention got dewn to se­ rious business today. Many addi­ tional delegates arrived Saturday night and Sunday, and tbe city has thrown wide ita hospitable doors Id honor of all visitors. The chief event in the program of today was the address by Secretary of War Dickinson, and his words were listened to with marked attention, as all-realized the fact that be spoke for that part of the federal government In whose charge the work of building the waterway would be. Secretary Dickinson’s Address. Secretary Dickinson said In part: 'The proposed Improvements to navigation that now abkorb our inter­ est are of stupendous magnitude, and present questions Involved in much controversy. Heretofore the • work has be«n detached, spasmodic, inter­ mittent. It has largely depended upon«the activity of merely local in­ fluences. Now all the forces of pub­ lic sentiment in the states bordering on-the Mississippi and ita tributaries have converged, and there is • a conclamatory cry for inaugurating and carrying to prompt execution a com-, prehensive and permanent plan that will give to that region the highest development that ita natural transpor­ tation facilities, aided by the beat en­ gineering skill, can afford. Is Vast and Costly. “The Work is too vast and costly to be improvidently undertaken. It so vitally affects the fortunes of. so large a territory that no immmature plan, nor one that will npt be acqui­ esced in by the countr^t should have your advocacy. "It is declared by leading railroad men that they are not hostile to. but, on the contrary, are ardent advocates of waterway Improvement. There la conclusive evidence that something should be done as early as practicable on a large scale for utilizing the transportation facilities with which nature has provided us. "Our people will undertake any ex­ penditure that they are convinced is well justified. Any considerable move­ ment to or from the water involves a serious factor that increases the ex­ pense In proportion to the distance. A fact that must be dealt with is that, notwithstanding the Increase of traf­ fic and Improvement of waterways, tbe total river traffic has steadily de­ creased. and few rivers are now used to anything like an approximation of their capacity. Must Assume Burden. "The report of the special board of engineers makes a prima facie case against a depth of 14 feet. It has been reviewed by permanent board on riv­ ers and harbors, and on the main point is approved. This is not con­ clusive. but the burden will have .to be assumed by those who assail it. It cannot be overcome by assertion or general criticism. It may be wrong. It may lead to a demand for a much greater depth. "In determining upon a course of action, it is well to consider that much time may be lost in standing out now for the deeper channel unless the ar­ guments preponderate in its favor, and also that the work recommended in the report ia of sufficient magni­ tude to absorb all appropriations that may, under the demand in other di­ rections. be made for this particular line of improvements, and that all of It is a necessary preliminary to the construction of a deeper waterway ifdevelopments shall show that it la economically desirable.** New Orleans,. Oct. 30.—With a rush that fairly carried the delegates off their feet with enthusiasm, the fourth annual convention of the Lakes-totheGulf Deep Waterway association opened this morning. The speeches, the informal talks and the cheers left no doubt as to what the people of the Mississippi valley want, and they were promised tbe assistance of the leaders of the nation In obtaining it When William K. Kavanaugh of Mis­ souri, president of the association, called the convention to order In the Athenaeum, he faced an assemblage that included hundreds of the most prominent citizens of the middle west. President Pledges Support. Of course, the feature of the day was the address of President Taft tljis afternoon. His voice was worn out by tbe succession of speeches he has been called on to make, but tbe del­ egates heard enough to cause them to cheer wildly the promises of. sup­ port given by the chief executive. He declared that If the 14-foot plan proved ’feasible and advisable, the present ad­ ministration would favor the issuance of government bonds to defray the cost Address by Gifford Plnchot. When the lorfc and loud applause that followed the president’s address had subsided, Gifford Plnchot. chief of tbe United States forest service, was introduced and made a lively speech on the conservation of natural resources.

A Nashville Citizen Shows How to Cure Them. Many people never suspect their kidneys. If suffering from a lame, weak or aching back tbev think that it is only a muscular weakness; when urinary troubles sets in they think it will soon correct itself. And so it is with all the other symptoms of kidney disorders. That is jukt where tbe danger lies. You must cure these troubles or they may lead to diabetes or Brigfat’s disease. The best remedy to use is Doan’s Kidney Pills. It cures all ills which are c&used. by weak or diseased kidneys Nashville people testify to permanent cures. Henry Wolcott, High and Gregg Sts.

I could hardly get .around and my kidneys were in a very poor condition^ Al­ though I doctored and took any amount of medicine, nothing helped me and I was at a loss to know what to do. Finally I procured Doan's Kidney Pills from Furniss’ drug store and their use was followed by prompt re­ lief.

Tbe germs and their poisons which cause the disease must be drawn to the surface of the akin and destroyed. Salves and greasy lotions may give temporary relief, but they have not the power to destroy the germ life. ZEMO, a clean liquid for externa! use will draw to the surface and destroy the germ life, leaving a clean healthy skin. ZEMO positively cures Eczema, Pimples, Blackheads, Dand­ ruff, and every form of skin or scalp disease. Mr. C. H.

Clothcraft All-Wool Clothes Then we tried one of these smart, dashing Clothcraft suits on him and showed him the Signed Guarantee that it was all pure wool. He bought the suit. These are the most remarkable clothes we’ve ever seen—they have so much style, they are honestly al! wool and yet they sell at the same prices as common clothes—$10 to $25.

Some miscreant entered the home of the Misses Morgan; halt a mile west of Morgan village, Friday night, evidently with the idea of committing burglary. The sisters, who are along in years, one being 88 and the other 82, live alone, and as they are credit­ ed with being well-to-do the intruder probably thought that he would be able to secure considerable plunder with little if any opposition. Late in the night the younger sister, Miss Jemima, was awakened by a noise in another part of the house and getting out of bed went to investigate. As she entered the other room she almost ran into a man, who promptly struck herover the head and made his escape from the house. The sisters quickiy notified the neighbors, who made a search of the neighborhood, but could find nothing of the marauder.. Miss Jemima claims that the intruder was Fred Mains, a youngster who bears a rather unsavory reputation in the neighborhood, and who is now out on suspended sentence for burglar­ izing Mrs. Houghtaiin’s store at Thornapple, and on Saturday she went to Hastings and swore out a warrant for his arrest.

Van Torp got up from his seat slow­ ly when she was gone, and went to the window, softly blowing a queer tune between his closed teeth and his open lips, without quite whistling. "Well—” he said aloud, in a tone of doubt, after a minute or two. But he said no more, for he was much too reticent and sensible a per­ son to talk to himself audibly even when he was alone, and much too cau­ tious to be sure that a servant might not be within hearing, though the door was shut He stoed before the win­ dow nearly a quarter of an hour, think­ ing that Lady Maud might come back, but as no sound of any step broke the silence he understood that Be was not to see her again that day. and he quietly let himself out of the bouse anfl went off, not altogether discon­ tented with the extraordinary impres­ sion he had made.

The prims donna had said that she was going io marry Lo­ gotheti chiefly because he Insisted on it The duel for Margaret’s hand had begun; Van Torp had aimed a blow that might well give him the advan­ tage if It went home; and Logotheti himself was quite unaware of the skillful attack that threatened his hap­ piness. CHAPTER III, A few days after she had talked with Lady Maud, and before Mr. Van Torp’s arrival, Margaret had gone abroad, without waiting for the promised advice in the matter of the wedding gown. With admirable re gard for the proprieties she had quite declined to let Logotheti cross the channel with her, but had promised to see him at Versailles, where she was going to stop a few flays with her mother's old American friend, the ex­ cellent Mrs. Rushmore, with whom she meant to go to Bayreuth to hear “Parsifal" for the first time. Mrs. Rushmore had disapproved pro­ foundly of Margaret's career, from the flrat. After Mrs. Donne's death, she had taken the forlorn girl under her protection, and had encouraged her to go on with what she vaguely called her “music lessons.” The good lady was one of those dear, old-fashioned, kind, delicate-minded and goldeahearted American women we may never see again, now that "progress” has got civilization by the throat and is squeezing the life out of it She called Margaret her "chickabiddy" and spread a motherly wing over her. without the least Idea that she was rearing a valuable lyric nightingale that would not long be content to trill and quaver unheard. Immense and deserved success had half reconciled the old lady to what had happened, and after all Margaret had not married an Italian tenor, a Russian prince, or a Parisian com­ poser, the three shapes of man which seemed the most dreadfully immoral to Mrs. Rushmore. She would find it easier to put up with Logotheti than with one of those, though it was bad enough to think of her old friend's daughter marrying a Greek Instead of a nice, clean Anglo-Saxon, like the learned Mr. Donne, the girl's father, or the good Mr. Rushmore, her la­ mented husband, who had been an up­ right pillar of the church In New What sort of work are you doing?

SPEECH DUE HOME WEDNESDAY NIGHT HOT Other Speaking Tours Await Him Befofe He Gets Down to Completion of Message to Congress Gives • Outline of Document. Upholds the Cause of Congressmen Who Are Fighting for Real Revis­ ion of ths Tariff—Pays Respects to Speaker Cannon. Wilmington, N. C. Nov. 91—Presi­ dent Taft arrived here this morning and was given a cordial greeting. Nearly the whole population of the city was gathered at the depot to wel­ come the chief executive. He was at once taken in hand by the local com­ mittee and was kept busy during the entire day in carrying out the elab­ orate program that had been arranged for his entertainment. Tbe president brought his stay at Augusta to a close yesterday after of­ ficiating at the opening of the GeorgiaCarolina fair. Gov. Brown ot Georgia and Gov. Ansel of South Carolina were present .and made brief addresses. Fallowing bis speech at the fair grounds the president was driven through the city for a short time aud then took the train for Florence, 8. C.. where he spent an hour and a half last night. The president will pass to-morrow in Richmond, reaching Washington at the end of bis 13,000 mile journey at 8:35 Wednesday evening. Other Trips Await Him. While Wednesday night officially marks tbe end of the western and ' southern trip, it will means, be the end of the president's travels prior to the opening of the congressional session in December. Mr. Taft will be In Washington less than 24 hours, being scheduled to leave the capital at 5:35 p. m. on Thursday for .Middletown. Conn., where he will witness the installation of President Shanklin of Wesleyan university. It is not likely that the president will do any work on bls message to congress until after his Norfolk trip. He has the message pretty well in hand, so far as ideas are concerned, and it will not take him long to dictate the document once he gets down to it. Message Outlined in Speeches. Tbe president already has outlined the essential points of tbe message in his speeches during the present trip. The details of his recommendations as to the amendment of the interstate commerce and anti-trust laws, how­ ever, have yet to be formulated, for be will not receive the report of At­ torney General Wickersbam and his other, advisers on this subject until after his return to Washington; The matter of financial legislation, if brought to the attention of the next session of congress at all, undoubtedly will be Chicago, Nov. 8.—Albert B. Cum­ mins, United States senator from Iowa, as chief speaker Saturday night at tbe banquet of the Marquette club, made his answer to Speaker Cannon's recent attacks on him and the other “insurgents." Senator Cummins* ad­ dress was lively from start to finish, and a vigorous defense of those sena­ tors who refused to vote for the Al­ drich tariff measure. In part the Iowa statesman said: Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen: In view of some things that have hap­ pened since I accepted your invitation, you Wilf not look upon it as either strange or Inappropriate, I am sure, if I am a little more personal than Is my habit. This is a Republican club, and it has borne a high and honorable part in giving expression to our faith and in giving strength to oar organi­ zation. It is therefore peculiarly well fitted to consider an interesting con­ troversy that has recently arisen with­ in tbe party ranks. For that reason, and because I am deeply anxious to preserve the party strength, I have chosen this occasion to speak of the dispute in hope that a better under­ standing may follow a fair and candid discuasion of our differences of opin- NINE LIVES LOST IN FIRE Panic Ensues Among Workmei Many Jump from Windows to Escape from Flames.

Camp had made an appointment to appear at the Colonial theater at 10:45 p. m. He was asked a few minutes after ten o'clock to take a party to the West side, and hoping to get an extra fare, he raced toward his new destina­ tion and not seeing the danger signals at tbe bridge, drove the car Into the yawning gap to his death. He saw the danger too late and his attempt to stop the car only caused it to skid on the wet pavement, turn and back into tbe water. Tbe leather top of the taxicab was torn off. which enabled the occupants of the machine to free themselves and make a fight for their lives, which was. however. In vain. Struggle for Life. At least two of the party, one of ♦hem the-woman, came to the surface of tbe water and struggled to reach the shore.

Justice Mills Confirms Finding Referee In Favor of Wife of Col. Astof*. Illinois Senator is First Republican of National Influence to Advocate This Doctrine. Washington. Nov. 8.—Senator Shel­ by M. Cullom of Illinois, withan un­ broken record of 26 years In the sen­ ate as a Republican representing w Republican state, friend of Lincoln and a Lincolnian Republican for near­ ly sixty years, has come out in favor of white domination in the south and the elimination of the negro from poli­ tics in the sections of the union where there Is danger of negro supremacy in political affairs. Senator. Cullom said: “Eliminate the negro from politics In the south—give that section of thte country an exclusively white ballot or a franchisement which shall mean ab­ solute and unequivocal white suprem­ acy, in the management of its whole affairs and there's not a state below tbe Mason and Dixon line which will not be found tn the Republican column of the electoral college.” Senator Cullom's discussion of tbe subject was apropos of President Taft's tour of the southern states, which is generally viewed by politi­ cians of both the big parties as a bld for the vote of at least one of tbe southern states in favor of tbe next Republican presidential candidate. The Illinois senator is the first Re­ publican of national influence wbo has come out into the open to declaie for this doctrine. "The whole truth of tbe situation.” continued Senator Cullom, "is that tbe south believes in and really needs, the enforcement of the Republican doc-* trine of a protective tariff. Therefore, to vote tn behalf of candidates—con­ gressional. national an* state—who would support such a policy. But they are held in leash, so to speak, by the fear of negro domination; the fear of colored men in office, both of the elec­ tive class and those appointed at Washington." PACKEY M’FARLAND WINNER Glven Decision Over "Cyclone’ Thompson In Ten-Round Fight. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 9.—Packey McFarland, the idol of the Chicago stock yards district, wras given the decision over “Cyclone Johnny' Thompson of Sycamore, whirlwind ten-round -fight night. Tbe battle was that of a scientific boxer who was able to hit and get away against a man whose main asset is slugging and wbo could not get near enough to his shifty opponent to land. In but one round, the second, was Thompson atle to send home enough telling blows to make it appear that ■fils strength would carry the fight home to him. But with Packey* hang­ ing and maklno the most of his won­ derful foot-work, the “Cyclone” could not corner him. After that round there was little doubt as to the outcome, although Thompson took a brace in the last three rounds and did some good work. A mighty shout of approval went up when at the end of the tenth round Referee Joe Coffey of Chicago raised Packey’s right hand, signifying that he bad won. A few of Thompson's frlendi clamored for a draw, but the decision was popular in the main. Thompson expressed the opinion that he could defeat McFarland In a longer fight It was the general opin­ ion about the ringside that neither man was in shape to stand a long, grueling battle. About |6,000 was taken in. Sixty per cent, of this went to the fighters, who divided ft 60 per cent, to the win­ ner and 40 per cent, to the loser. Indians Get No Redress. Washington.

CHICAGO Attacked by Illinoisan. A month ago a distinguished son of Illinois came to Iowa, obviously angry and therefore, in one of his hysterical moods. He made a speech ostensibly in defense of the rules of the house of representatives, but which was in fact, an assault upon those wbo bad opposed the Republican* majority in congress upon the tariff measure. Not content with burning us at the stake, he scattered our ashes to the four winds in order to make sure that we would be lost to the Republican party forever and ever. He exalted me to a pre-eminence among these insur­ gents which 1 do not deserve, but which I would be proud to occupy, and declared, with a vehemence which you who know him will appreciate, that I had become an ally of a certain elo­ quent gentleman whose quadrennial business has been to carry the Demo­ cratic banner to overwhelming defeat. Warming to his work, Tie made an­ other speech a few days ago at Elgin, In which he repeated in all the colors of his rainbow phraseology the de­ nunciation of those wbo committed tbe horrid crime of voting against the tariff bill, and again conalgned them to the lowest depths of Democratic perdition; and then to completely sat­ isfy his lust for blood, he assigned to Senator La Follette and myself a su­ perheated chamber in this region of the damned. With all these impreca­ tions. expulsions and exterminations still ringing in my ears, I feel like a member of the fated brigade of which the poet sang: Cannon to the right of them Cannon to the left of them Volleyed and thundered. Cannon’s Charge Futile. It will not avail Mr. Cannon and his associates anything to declare that we have joined hands with the Demo­ cratic party, for every Intelligent man knows that this ia simply an appeal to a blind passion and a senseless prejudice. The insurgents believe that the Republican party is the best instrumentality to secure and maintain good government. They are proud of its history; they love Its traditions; and I venture the prediction that in the campaign of next year their voices will be heard high above all others defending its doctrines and sustain­ ing its candidates. Their struggle will be within the lines, but they will not bide the truth as they see It; for they know that If the Republican party is to be permanently successful, it must be faithful to its platforms, and must meet courageously and justly the new age of commerce and business with its new problems and questions. It cannot any longer be progressive in its platform and stand-pat in its con- K few months ago I said that I was willing to accept an arbiter as to the Republicanism of those who voted against the tariff bill, and I hasten to name the judge. I appeal to the na­ tional Republican platform of 1908; and tested by the criterion of that In­ strument the Republican voters of the United States will determine just as rapidly as they have the opportunity to do so. whether our votes were ia accordance with Its declarations and pledges. Proposition Is Absurd. I understand perfectly that it would have been helpful to party harmony If we could have voted together; but that is not the question. The plat­ form was for protection. All the Re­ publicans in congress were for pro­ tection; but the view of these high priests appears to be that if they thought that upon any given article protection required 50 per cent., and we thought the article would be amply protected with 26 per cent, unless we voted for 50 we were no longer Re­ publicans. The whole proposition is so absurd that even tbe most rabid member of the triumvirate will not re-* peat It often. - One plateful of MOTHER’S OATS will produce more vim and energy and action—more _ _ _. more enthusiasm and more vigor endurance, than many times the same bulk ci meat, fish, fowl, or cereals of lower food value. MOTHER’S OATS are different from other*! oats and different from ordinary oatmeal. They arc put up in sanitary scaled packages. But there’s more to MOTHER’S OATS than the package; they arc the besfe oats in the world, the best selection of the best crops. Every batch that comes to our mills is screened and only the ripe, big grains are marketed. They are not only sterilized, but steamed (to burst the protcid cells); then rolled (to render the cooking easy), and after that, MOTHER’S OATS are crushed (to hasten their digestion)—easy work for the stove, easy work -for the stomach and more work for the man.

"He tells me he 1s 80," Logotbet! •aid. "He*s a good-looking young fel­ low. How is Mrs. Rushmore? I for­ got to ask." “She’s quite well, thank you. But I should like to know—” •'Will you be so very kind as to re­ member me to her, and to say that I hope to find her at home the day after she dreamt that .she was at the tele­ phone again, and that words in a strange language came to her along te-merrow?" "Certainly. Come to-morrow if you Mke. But please tell me how yqu hap­ pened to pick up that young Tartar. It sounds so Interesting! He has such a sweet voice.” There was no reply to this ques­ tion, and Margaret could not get an­ other word from Logothetl/ The comznunication was apparently cut off. She rang up the central office and asked for his number again, but the young woman soon said that she could get no answer to the call, and that something was probably wrong with the instnunent of number one-hundredsind-alx-thirty-seven. Margaret was not pleased, and she was silent and absent-minded at din-, ner and in the evening. "It's the reaction after London,” she said with a smile, when Mrs. Rush­ more asked if anything was the mat­ ter. “I find I am more tired than I knew, now that it's all over." Mrs. Rushmore was quite of the same opinion, and It was still early when she declared that she herself was sleepy and that Margaret had much better go to bed and get a good night’s rest But when the prims donna was sit­ ting before the glass and her maid was brushing out her soft brown hair, ahe was not at all drowsy, and though her eyes looked steadily at their own reflection in the mirror, she was not •ware that she saw anything. "Potts,” she said suddenly, and stopped. "Yes, ma’am?” answered the maid with meek interrogation, and without checking the regular movement of the big brush. "Potts,” she began again, “you are not very imaginative, are you?" "No, ma'am." the. maid answered, because it seemed to be expected of her. though she had never thought of the matter. "Do -you think you could possibly be mistaken about a voice, If you didn't see the person who was speak­ ing?” . "In what way, ma’am?" • "I mean, do you think you could take a man's voice for a woman’s at • distance?” "Oh. 1 see!” Potts exclaimed. "As It might be, at the telephone?" "Well—at the telephone. If you like, or anywhere else. Do you think you might?” "It would depend on the voice, ma’am,” observed Potts, with caution. “Of course It would," assented Mar­ garet rather impatiently. "Well, ma’am, 1'11 say this, since you ask me. When 1 was last at home I was mistaken In that way about my own brother, for I heard him calling to me from downstairs, and I took him for my sister Milly.” “Oh! That's Interesting!” Marga­ ret smiled. "What sort of voice has your brother? How old is he?" "He's elght-and-twenty, ma’am; and as for his voice, he has a sweet coun­ ter tenor, and sings nicely. He’s a •ong-man at the cathedral, ma'am.” "Really! How nice! Have you a voice, too? Do you sing at all?" "Oh, no, ma’am!” answered Potts in • deprecating tone. “One in the fam­ ily is quite enough!” Margaret vaguely wondered why, but did not inquire. “You are quite sure that It was your brother who was speaking, I sup­ * pose," shp said. "Oh, yes. ma'am! I looked down over the banisters, and there he was!” Margaret had the solid health of a great singer, and it would have been • seriour trouble indeed that could have interfered with her unbroken •nd dreamless sleep during at least eight hours; but when she closed her eyes that night she was quite sure that she could not have slept at all but for Potts' comforting little story •bout the brother with the “counter­ tenor” voice. Yet even so, at the mo­ ment before waking In the morning. “Potts,” She Said Suddenly, and Than Stopped. the wire In a soft and caressing tone that could only be a woman's, and that for the first time in all her life she knew what it was to be jealous. The sensation was not an agreeable one. The dream-voice was silent as soon as she opened her eyes, but she had not been awake long without realiz­ ing that she wished very much to see Logothetl at once, and was profoundly thankful that she had torn up her let­ ter to Lady Maud. She was not pre­ pared to admit, even now, that Kon­ stantin was the Ideal she should have chosen for a husband, and whom she had been describing.from Imagination when she had suddenly stopped writ­ ing. But. on the other han-I. the mere thought that he had p< haps been amusing himself in the society of an­ other woman all vesterdav afternoon made her so angry that ahe took refuge In trying to believe ’.hat he had spoken the truth and that she had really been mls’i’ko” ts<» vnke ■r: ttrs Ri: very weft u. teJk about learning Tartar! How could she V; sure that it was not modern Greek, or. Turkish? She could not have known the difference. Was it so very unlikely that some charming compatriot of his should have come from Constantino pie to spend a few weeks in Paris? She remembered the mysterious house In the Boulevard Pereire where he lived, the beautiful upper hall where the statue of Aphrodite stood, the doors that woul«Y not open like other doors, the strangely-disturbing en­ caustic painting of Cleopatra In the drawing room—many things which she distrusted. Besides, supposing that the language was really Tartar—were there not Russians who spojee it? She thought there must be, because she had a vague idea that all Russians were more or less Tartars. There was a proverb about it. Moreover, to the English as well as to the French, Rus­ sians represent romance and wicked­ ness. She would not go to the telephone herself, but she sent a message to Lo­ gothetl, and he came-out in the cool time of the afternoon. She thought he had never looked so handsome and so little exotic since she had known him. He was received by Mrs. Rushmore and Margaret together, and he took noticeable pains to make himself agreeable to the mistress of the house. At first Margaret was pleased at this; but when she saw that be was doing his best to keep Mrs. Rusbtnore from leaving the room, as she probably would have done. Margaret did not like IL She was dying to ask him questions about his lessons in Tartar, and especially about bis teacher, and she probably meant to caat her in­ quiries In such a form as would make it preferable to examine him alone rather than before Mrs. Rushmore; but he talked on and on, only pausing an instant for the good lady's expres­ sions of interest or approval He was telling her what a prime minister had told an ambassador about the pope, when Margaret rose rather abruptly. 'Tm awfully sorry," she said to Mrs. like a child's. "I didn't mean to make you angry, I was only wishing aloud. Please forgive me!“ "If your idea of caring for a wom­ an is to make her jealous—” This was such an obvious misinter­ pretation of his words that she stopped short and bit her lip. He sighed audibly, as If .he were very sorry that he- could do nothing to ap­ pease her, but this only made her feel more injured. She made an effort to speak coldly. "You seem to forget that so long as we are supposed V5 be engaged I have some little claim to know how you spend your time!" “I make no secret of what I do. That is why you were angry just now. Nothing could have been' easier than for me to say that 1 waa busy with one of the matters you suggested.” “Oh, of course! Nothing could be easier than to tell pie an untruth!" This certainly looked like the fem­ inine retort-triumphant, and Margaret delivered it in a cutting tone. 'That is precisely what you seem to imply that I did,” Logothetl objected. "But If what I told you was untrue your argument goes to pieces. There was no Tartar leason, there was no Tartar teacher, and it was all a fabri­ cation of my own!" "Just what I think!" returned Mar­ garet. "It was not Tartar you spoke, and there was no teacher!” “You have me there." answered the Greek mildly, "unless you would like me to produce my young friend and talk to him before you in the presence of witnesses who know bis language." "I wish you would! I would like to see 'him!' I should like to see the color of 'his' eyes and hair!” . “Black as Ink.” said Logothetl. “And you'll tell me that 'his' com­ plexion Is black, too, no doubt!” * "Not at all; a sort of creamy com­ plexion. I think, though I did not pay much attention to his skin. He is a smallish chap, good-looking, with hands and feet like a woman's. 1 noticed that.. As I told you, a doubt occurred to me at once, and I will not positively swear that it is not a girl after all. He, or she. is really a Tar­ tar from central Asia, and I know enough of the language to>>ay what was necessary.” "Necessary!” go out. by all means, tvould Mons.. Logothetl stay to dinner: No? She was sorry. She had forgotten that she had a letter to write In time for the afternoon post. So she went off and left the two together. Margaret led the way but upon the lawn, and they aat down on garden chairs under a bfg elm ’tree. She said nothing while she settled herself very deliberately, avoiding her compan­ ion’s eyes till she was quite ready, and then she suddenly looked at him with a sort of blank stare that would have disconcerted any ope less su­ perlatively self-possessed than he was. It was most distinctly Mme. de Cor­ dova, the offended prima donna, that spoke at last, and not Miss Margaret Donne, the “nice English girl." "What In the world has got Into you?” she inquired in a chilly tone. He opened his almond-shaped eyes d little wider with an excellent af­ fectation of astonishment at her words and manner. "Have I done anything you don’t like?" he asked In a tone of anxiety and concern. “Was.I rude to Mrs. Rushmore T* Margaret -looked at him a moment longer,. and then turned her head away in silence, as If scorning to an­ swer such a silly question. The look of surprise disappeared from-his face, and he became very gloomy and thoughtful but said nothing mor&. Possibly he had brought about exactly what he wished, and was satisfied to await the inevitable result It came before long. "I don't understand you at all,” Margaret said less iefly, but with the sad little air of a woman who be­ lieves herself misunderstood. "It was very odd yesterday, at the telephone, you know—very odd indeed. I sup­ pose you didn't realize It. And now. this afternoon, you have evidently been doing your best to keep Mrs. Rushmore from leaving us together. You would still be telling her storiec about people If I hadn't obliged you to come out!” “Yes,” Logothetl asserted with ex­ asperating ’ calm and meekness, "we should still be there." "You did not want to be alone with me, I suppose. There's no other ex­ planation. and it’s not a very flatter­ “I never flatter you. dear lady,” said Logothetl gravely. "But you do! ’How can you deny It? You often tell me that I make you think of the Victory in the Louvre—” “It’s quite true. If the statue had a head it would be a portrait of you.” "Nonsense! And in your moments of enthusiasm you say that I sing better than. Mme. Bonanni In her best days—” "Yes. You know quite as much as she ever did, you are a much better musician, and you began with a better voice. Therefore you sing better. I maintain it.” “You often maintain things you don’t believe.” Margaret retorted. though her manner momentarily re­ lazed a little. “Only in matters of business.” an­ swered the Greek with Imperturbable calm. "Pray, Is 'learning Ta'rtar’ a matter of business?” Her eyes sparkled angrily as she asked the question. Logothetl smiled; she had reached the point to which he knew she must come before long "Oh. yes!” he replied with alacrity. “Of course It is.” "TYiat accounts for everything. since you are admitting that I need not even try to believe It was a man whom I heard speaking.” • “To tell the truth, 1 have some sus­ picions about that mvself," answered Logothetl. "I have a great many.” Margaret laughed rather harshly. "And you be­ have as if you wanted me to have more. Who is this eastern woman? Come, be frank. She Is some one from Constantinople, isn't she? A Fanariote like yourself, I dare say—an old friend who is in Parle fora few days, and would not pass through without seeing you. Say so, for heav­ en’s sake, and don’t make such • mys­ tery about it!” ."How very ingenious women are!" observed the Greek. “If I bad thought of it I might have told you that story through the telephone yesterday. But I didn’t” Margaret was rapidly becoming ex­ asperated her eyes flashed, her flrm young cheeks reddened handsomely, and her generous lips made scornful curves. "Are you trying to quarrel with me?” The words had a fierce ring; he glanced at her quickly and saw how well her look agreed with her tone. She was very angry. “If 1 were not afraid of boring you," he said with quiet gravity, “1 would tell you the whole story, but—" be pretended to hesitate. He heard her harsh little laugh at once. "Your worst enemy oould not ac­ cuse you of being a bore!” she re­ torted. “Ob, no? It’s something quite different from boredom that I feel, I assure you!" “I wish I thought that you cared for me enough, to be jealous," Logo­ thetl said earnestly. "Jealous!" No one can describe the tone of in­ dignant contempt in which a thorough­ ly jealous woman disclaims the least thought of jealousy with a single word; a man must have beard it to remember what it is like, and most men have. Logothetl knew it well, and at the sound he put on an expres- ter of business. What I said about a teacher was mere nonsense. Now you know the whole thing." Faria, and they brought him u> doer. That is the whole story. And hew Is the ruby. I bought It for you. because you like those things Will you take It?” He held out what looked like a little i ball of white tissue paper,-but Marga­ ret turned her face from him. 1 “You treat me like a child!" ahe Baid. To her own great surprise and indig­ nation. her voice was unsteady and she felt something burning in her eyes. She was almoat frightened at the thought that she might be going to cry, out of sheer mortification. Logothetl said nothing for a mo­ ment He began to unroll the paper from the precloua stone, but changed bls mind, wrapped it up again, and put it back into his watch pocket be­ fore he spoke. T did not mean it as you think," he said softly. She turned her eyes without moving her head, till she could jukt see that he was leaning forward, resting his wrists on his knees, bending his head and apparently looking down at'his loosely hanging hands. His attitude expressed dejection and disappoint­ ment. She was glad of it. He had no right to think that he could make her as angry as she still was, angry even to tears, and then bribe her to smile again when he was tired of teasing her. Her eyes turned away again, and ahe did not answer him. "I "make mistakes sometimes," be said, speaking still lower. “I know I do. When I am with you I cannot be always thinking of what I say. It’s too much to ask, when a man is as far gone as I am!" "I should like to believe that," Mar­ garet said, without looking at him. “Is it hard to‘believe?" he asked so gently that she only just heard the words, j "You don’t make It easy, you know.” said she with a little defiance, for she felt that she was going to yield before long. “I don’t know how to. You're not in the least capricious—and yet—” "You’re mistaken," Margaret an­ swered. turning to him suddentlS^T’m the most capricious woman in the world! Yesterday I wrote a.long let­ ter to a friend, and then I suddenly tore it up—there were ever so many pages! I daresay that if I had writ­ ten just the same letter this morning 1 should have sent it If that is not oaprice, what is it?" "It may have been wisdom to tear it up." Logothetl suggested. Tm not sure. I never ask myself questions about what I do. I hate peo­ ple who are always measuring their wretched little souls and then tinker­ ing their consciences to make them fit! I don’t believe I wish to do any­ thing really wrong, and so I do exactly what I like, always!” "Excepting what the business was," Margaret said incredulously. "The business was an uncut stone,” answered Logothetl with indifference. He had one to sell, and I bought it "He was recommended to me by a man (TO BE CONTINUED.) 1 in Constantinople.

People may not like a kicker, but it often happens that the In­ telligent, persistent kicker Is a public benefactor. The tester patron or church attendant’ who kicks about tha lack of food, fresh air and de­ mands better ventilation may ba prompted by purely selfish motlvea, but, all tho same. If, as a result of his complaints, the thea­ ter provides better ventilation, many hundreds of other people are directly benefited. Patrons of theaters, churches and street cars should Insist on protection from the terrible ef­ fects of being compelled to breathe bad air; and persistent, forceful kicking Is a pretty good way to get this protection.

Her father was one of the pio­ neers of Ohio, who settled, in the new state in 1813. As indicating the char­ acter of-her father the intellectual and religious atmosphere of that early Ohio home must speak.

MUNROE WANT COLUMN life for his Urge family, that father managed to keep a governess in his home for five years that the minds of his children might not be neglected. On his place, also at his own expense, he built the first school house of the neighborhood, which served as well for the monthly religious service. In 1841 Emma Humphrey and sever­ al of her brothers and sisters became members of the Baptist church and from that lime until her death she re­ mained a consistent Christian woman. She’ was a faithful wife, a kind and loving mother, always readv to lend a helping hand to the sick and af­ flicted and it can well be said of _ her "She hath done what she could”. During her last illness she enjoyed the privilege of having all her child­ ren with her, also an only brother from Illinois. She leaves eight children, twenty-three grandchildren, seven great grandchildren, one broth­ er and one sister.

We do not call it death when we behold The crystals change unto white and gold; Nor can II be death which yields its power To the germ that bursts a beautiful Hower.

The cabinet at its meetlug to-day will go over that phase of the case and It Is expected that the attorney general will be directed to bring these individuals into court at his earliest convenience. There Is an unmistakable atmos phere of high tension at the depart­ ment of Justice and the treasury de­ partment. Developments are follow­ ing each other with startling rapidity. Results Will Be Sensational. It was'declared by an official who has kept In touch with the investiga­ tion that the ultimate exposure will astound even those who have been expecting the most sensational re­ sult. Reynolds Defends Prosecution. James B. Reynolds, formerly assist­ ant secretary of the treasury, and now a member of the new tariff board, declared there never had been any attempt on the part of the American Sugar Refining Company to influence any action of his and no instructions had been issued by him having any Object in view beyond good adminis­ tration and fair dealing to all con­ cerned. Mr. Reynolds' statements were made as the result of publications to the effect that the treasury depart ment under the administration of President Roosevelt displayed appar­ ent Indifference in procuring evidence of alleged "sugar trust” frauds, and that Richard Parr, a special agent of the department. In his investigations hud encountered obstacles from the outset. . ’ . ' Shorn of all legal verbage and avoiding all circumlocution, the atti­ tude of the government against the American Sugar and Refining Com­ pany Is this: Every cent legally due the govern­ ment by reason, of false weighing shall be collected, even If the payment of the money means the financial anni­ hilation of the trust. Every person tn any way connected with the trust against whom evidence of complicity in the crime can be se­ cured will be sent to the penitentiary If possible, without respect to the character of the position or the Job held. Will Be No Let-Up. It can be said upon authority that President Taft, Secretary of the Treas­ ury sacVeagh and Attorney General Wickersham have reached the unani­ mous determination to press relent­ lessly the Inquiry as to the trust's criminal conduct. Every person en­ gaged In the investigation is incited to his greatest endeavor by the knowl­ edge that the wringing of more mil­ lions of Ill-gotten gains from the trust agd putting some of its officers behind the bars will be considered a crown­ ing achievement of administration offi­ cials. Get Every Dollar Due. To put the matter 1ft the light of pol­ itics, as well as law, a high govern­ ment official declared: “There will be nothing left of the trust when we get through with it; we will get every dollar due. punish the guilty and show that the Taft adminis­ tration can accomplish what the for­ mer one did not” C. L WARRINER INDICTED Defaulting Treasurer of Big Four Railroad Held for Trial for Lar­ ceny and Embezzlement. Cincinnati, Nov. 18. — Charles L. Warriner, former local treasurer of the Big Four railroad, was Indicted by the grand jury on charges of grand larceny and embezzlement in the amount of 15,000 on each count While >643.000 Is known to bare been stolen from the railroad the start­ ling fact was developed that the com­ pany’s cash books, prior to 1905, have disappeared and that it will never be possible to tell the full amount of the gigantic defalcation. The comparatively small amount upon which Warriner has been indict­ ed represents the latest known theft. It has been placed at that figure In order that if conviction fail the rail­ road authorities may proceed on any other of the numerous counts. This means that the prosecutions may be maintained indefinitely. Gov. Deftken Appeals for Aid. Chicago, Nov. 15.—Gov.

ELEVEN HEROES ROASTED Volunteers Go Into Deadly Depths Seven Times and Are Burned to a Crisp—Others Are Sealed Up Be­ low. Cherry. Ill., Nov. 16. — Fire fanned to fury by the mistaken effort of the rescuers may have killed the faint hopes for the rescue of the men en­ tombed in the St. Paul mine here as the result of a fire on November 13. Rescuers were forced from the shafts and the mine, is sealed at every open- I ing. Sixty hours have passed and It I will probably be days before relief can 1 reach the men below. ! Water failed the fire fighters at the ’ moment they had mastered the flames, No pumps were on hand and in desperatlon the conference of experts or­ dered every opening closed. Panic ruled the miner's families when they learned of the new disaster. Weak—L , , ened and worn by two days of heart­ breaking suspense, women screamed threats of condemnation at the work­ ers. They called them cowards. Then some threw themselves on the ground In wild' hysteria giving up even the hopes born by love. Revived Fire Added Calamity. Not only have flO' precious hours— each one of which may have meant life or death—been lost, but the re­ vived fire is an added calamity no less serious than the first one. Disagreements have arisen among the officials over the methods of res­ cue work. President A. R. Newsam of the state mining board wanted the mine sealed two days. He was over­ ruled by the conference of inspectors and owners. Others think that every miner below was killed when the mine was sealed. Eleven brave men were roasted alive in a vain attempt at rescue. Out of 565 miners, according to the mine records, who were lowered into the mine in the morning, 181 were saved, many of them by the small but heroic band of rescuers, who persisted in their efforts until they themselves perished. The elaborate ventilating machinery which poured life-giving oxygen into the levels 500 feet below the surface was burned out, cutting off practically all chance for life. Even the slender chance that the entombed men might be rescued was cut off by the sealing of both shafts of the mine for the purpose of smoth­ ering the flames. This last resort step was taken only after vain efforts had been made to conquer the flames by pouring tons of water down the main shaft Horror Price of Negligence. If reports current here are correct, some individual or individuals—prob­ ably one of the mine officials who later lost his life in attempting the rescue of his imprisoned workmen— was negligent. Reports, which vary in their details, agree in the essential that the Ore started In some hay which had been* lowered to the secor leveL The way in which the hay caught Are is said to be: A torch carried by Alex­ ander Rosejack, eager on duty at the second level, exploded. Rosejack real­ ized his danger when the torch explod­ ed and scattered boiling oil over the surroundings. Fire in Stable and Hay. He tried to put out the flames, but was unsuccessful. The timbers were as dry ax tinder and the fire communi­ cated to the r.table and the hay. Thus the flames spread rapidly. James Hanney, a miner, is said to have reported fire In the mine at 1:30 o'clock1 in the afternoon, but no at­ tention was paid to his report until the fire become so violent as to beat with the aid of the rescuers, made their way to »he surface. Brave Hearts Respond to Call. . Smoke came out of the escape shaft at its mouth at two o'clock. ‘ The en­ gineer in charge of the cages failed to get any signals from below to pull up. Then 11 men—Dr. Joshua Howe of Cherry accompanied the rescuers tn their first descent—volunteered to go into the mine to rescue the men be- They entered the cage of the down­ cast shaft and the engineer opened his throttle and dropped them the 500 feet into the earth as rapidly as be dared. There was a brief wait, when the slackened cable told that they had reached the bottom, and then a frantic signal to pull up. The ■ cables sizzled on the drums until the cage with the rescue party rose to the top-of the smoking shaft The rescuers were all there, but there were no rescued. The rescuers had failed to reach anybody and had rushed back for air. Choke, Gasp and Then Return. __ __a __ For few _______ minutes __ the braVe men choked and gasped in the open. Then tbey re-eqtered the cage. Again the engineer stood at his levers and the cables hissed over the drums. Again there was a short wait, another fran­ tic signal to pull up. For the second time the rescuers came to the top, this time with a number of miners who were alive. Half stifled, with lungs parched and all but bursting, the rescuers returned to the cage a third time, and for a third time made a descent into the pungent darkness of the mine. They found the stables a furnace, but the men they were trying to rescue had not reached the bottom of the shast. So up they went to the air again with a load of rescued men and to gain breath tor another battle with the mine. When the rescuers staggered out of the cage for the third time. Dr.' Howe was overcome by the heat end smoke. He recovered sufficiently to struggle to get back into the cage for the fourth trial, but his companions, rec­ ognizing that his weakness had put him beyond usefulness, forced him back and went down alone to the he­ roic venture. Heroes Toasted; Cargo of Death. For the fourth time the engineer at the top of the shaft—the shaft by this time was smoking like a factory chimney—opened his throttle to pull up the cage. Perhaps half the cable had coiled Itself about the drums above the rising cage when flames spurted out of the top of the shaft. As the car continued tc rise down there in the narrow shaft the flames enveloped It and broiled the heroes within as bread |a toasted in a kitchen utensil. The engineer, John Cowley, stood at fiis lever until the car was out at the top, but he hauled up not living men but blistered corpses. Doctors Rushed to the Scene. All the doctors in Spring Valley rushed to the town of Ladd by auto­ mobiles and reached Cherry by a spe­ cial train over the Chicago, Milwau­ kee & St. Paul railroad. All the drug stores in Spring Valley were ran­ sacked for surgical supplies and auto­ mobile loads of them were hurried into Cherry at top speed. Strong men volunteered to fight back the frantic relatives of the en­ tombed miners. The tongues of most of the countries of southern Europe, but especially Austria, Italy and Lithuania, were heard in a tempest of lamentations. The workers in the mines of Cherry come from the countries named in numbers proportioned to the order. Many of the .miners were boys of 16 Their mothers, many of them, had been widowed years before by similar catastrophes in other mines, felt the full force of the horror. Fan Stops; Horror Grows. The huge ventilating fan controlling the air supply of the mine continued to work until three o'clock. Then the lire reached the machinery and ft stopped working. A gasp of horror went up from the watchers, for they knew that without the fan working a man could not live ten minutes— perhaps not ten seconds—In the lower levels of the mine. Failed to Protect Negro. Shipp and Gibson had been found guilty of falling to protect from a mob Ed. Johnson, whose leg&l execution for criminal’assault had been stayed by the supreme court until It could re­ view the case. The others had been found guilty of participation in the lynching of a federal prisoner. Shipp, Williams and Nolau were given sentences of 90 days' Imprison­ ment each, while Gibson, Padgett and Maxes epch received 60 days. ■ As the big barred doors of the jail swung open to receive the prisoners Immediately after sentence had been imposed. Warden McKee stood before them. "At least we are in the hands of a soldier." exclaimed Capt. Shipp, who bad been in many a fight for the con­ federacy. as he espied a G. A. R. but­ ton on the lapel of Warden McKee's coat. "Boys, it will be all right." x The prisoners were assigned to quarters formerly used for women, and declared they were "delighted” with the treatment accorded them. Employers* Liability Law Valid. The employers' liability law of 1906 was declared to be constitutional in territories of the United States and the District of Columbia by the su­ preme court, despite the fact that more than a year ago this law was declared to be unconstitutional when applied to the states. The supreme court took a recess un­ til after Thanksgiving. The next sit­ ting of the court will be November 29. Gov. Haskell Must Stand Trial. Chickasha, Okla., Nov. 16.—Federal Judge John A.

This ought to be proof enough to the most sceptical person, when you take into consideration that we are under the supervision of the Banking De­ partment at Lansing and after carefully examining the condition of our bank and the reports sent this department the State Treasurer has made us one of his depositories. We are satisfied that you will do the same if you will but investigate our methods. Come in and look us over. Four per cent paid on savings deposits. We invite your checking account. . , STATE SAVINGS BANK DEPOSITORY FOR STATE FUNDS LOCAL NEWS. N. C. Kraft of Middleville visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Kraft, Sunday and Monday. M?s.

A more extended obituary will -appear in next week’s issue of the News. The people of the village and the surrounding country were grieved Monday to learn that C. E. Roscoe had made a trust mortgage on his implement business to H. D. Wotring. it has been a hard year in the imple­ ment business and collections have been rather slow, with the result that Mr. Roscoe could not meet his obliga­ tions, and he took this step to give all of his creditors an equal show. The liabilities are •3,200, and Mr. Roscoe estimates the assets at about the same amount, so that he thinks that they will be sufficient to meet all liabilities. We hope that this will 8rove to be the case and that none of Ir. Roscoe's creditors will suffer by his temporary financial embarassment. Of one thing we are all sure, and that is that Mr, Roscoe' has always been square in his dealings, economical and conscientious, and that his personal integrity is of the highest. WOODLAND.

FURNISS SAD TALE OF A PUDDIN*. Thia 1b the sad tale of a Thanks­ giving pudding. Always before tbe Thanksgiving pudding has been pull­ ed off pn time and without trouble, and has been duly and legally enjoy­ ed, but this year it is oh, so different. For be it known that to the satisfac­ tory completion of a Thanksgiving pudding tbe Incense of brandy and rum is necessary as an adjunct to the sauce. A Nashville lady, and one who by the way enjoys a good joke as well as any of the rest of us, started out this week to , make her Thanksgiving fmdding. She had all the necessary □gred tents except the stuff thkt makes the joyous odor so-'satisfactory to the olfactory nerves, but that .didn't matter, as of course she could get it without any trouble, as she always had. So she went right ahead and constructed the luscious dessert which was to be the fitting climax to tbe Thanksgiving feast, and when she got ready for the finishing touches she sent to the drug store for a gill each of the necessary liquors. And right there that Thanksgiving pudding came right smash up against the majesty of tbe law. The druggist sympathized, but that was all no could do. The pudding was not sick, so the family fibysician could not prescribe. The ocal option law is just as effective a stone wall against a Thanksgiving pudding as it is against the persistent boose fighter. Nothing short of a trip to Onondaga or Grand Rapids could complete that pudding, so the dessert for this years Thanksgiving dinner is to be a good old-fashioned pumpkin pie instead of the lime-honor­ ed pudding. Hurry up with that local option petition and let us have our puddings again, by all means. MADE A CLEVER ESCAPE. Mr. and Mrs. Leo Marshall of Eat­ on Rapids visited friends in town Saturday They didn't come in their wedding finery, either, as they came sway somewhat hurriedly. They had intended to be married Sunday, but Leo's K. of P. friends planned a little abduction trip for the groom-to-be. which promised more of joy to the crowd than it did to Leo, who acci­ dently got an inkling of the" plan, when he returned to Eaton Rapids from Charlotte Friday afternoon with his license. Without waiting to don his wedding garments, he hied him­ self to the home of his intended bride. Miss Hazel Covey, a clergyman was summoned, and the nuptial knot was tied in a hurry. Then the bride and groom betook themselves by devious and uncertain paths along the river­ side to the Michigan Central station, while the bride's mother, with suit case packed, boldly rode in the hack to the evening train west, where she turned tbe suit case over to the bride and groom, who made their appear­ ance out of the darkness just as the train pulled in, making one of the neatest “getaways” ever perpetrated in the town. They went to Hastings for the night, returning here Satur­ day, and going back to the Island City on the midnight train. MARRIED IN HASTE Yesterday afternoon a rig contain­ ing a young man and a young woman, pretty'well plastered with mud as an evidence that they had been driving some, drove into town and the young people started out. on a hunt for some one empowered to commit them to the bonds of matrimony. They tackled Supervisor Smith, but he modestly turned down the job and referred them to Justice Wellman, who has an office in John Greene’s tailor shop. Here they found the justice in all his ma­ jesty, who promptly made them man and wife, calling upon John the tailor and Rev. Walter S. Reed, who happened to be present, as witnesses, and the parson is willing to testify that the justice did the job all right and in strict conformity to the law. The young people were Frank Olm­ stead of Cedar Lake, Montcalm county, and Miss Rachel J. Norris,, of Barryville. The young lady's parents ob­ jected to the marrige, but the daugh­ ter is of legal age and she took the matter into her own hands, defying parental authority. They will leave today for their home at Cedar Lake. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. Lee Shields. Marion Worst and Lester Wolffe were arrested Tuesday by Sheriff Ritchie, on complaint of Humane Agent Randolph of Grand Rapids, charged with cruelty to animals. The offense with which they were charged is alleged to have oc­ curred on the 14th inst., when the trio was moving Wolffe’s goods into tbe village with Worst's team. Near Chester Hyde’s one of the horses balked and Mrs. Hyde claims that they abused tbe animals in their en­ deavors to get them to “come along." The hearing will be before Justice J. M. Smith at Hastings on December 8, and the boys have given bonds for their appearance. REPORT OF B. C. 3. A 3. D. B. A.

Nease, a former Nashville boy, is in the limelight at Grand Rapids, by reason of his efforts to prevent the production, at the Ma­ jestic theatre, of a dramatization of Eleanor Glyn’s salacious novel, “Three Weeks.” Tbe production is to open this afternoon at a matinee, and is to remain the balance of the week. Mr. Nease, representing some of the churches and women’s clubs, endeavored to have the performance prohibited, but the mayor said that they might give one performance, af­ ter which, if the play was not consid­ ered by the authorities to be within the bounds of decency, the further performances would be prohibited. At any rate, it is.safe to say that “Three Weeks,’ will play to standing room only this afternoon.' NUMBER 14 LOCAL NEWS. - - - Why y- - -go- - -2,000 - - •—miles — —* farther from Football today.

After scraping fish, the oder may be removed from the knife by rubbing it with a piece of lemon. ’ The same treatment will destroy the ordor of fish or onions from the dish in which they were cooked. Try a beet salad made after this recipe: Mix togetherone quart cooked beets and one pint raw cabbage chop­ ped fine, and one cup of grated horse radish, with salt and sugar to taste. Place in jars and pour over it hot vinegar to cover and seal. To keep your bread at a more even temperature during lhe cold weather use a large wooden kneading bowl instead of a pan, and warm the bread board before using it. Quinces should be rubbed till the down is removed, then washed and cut across in slices so that when the core is removed, they resemble un­ cooked dough-nuts, then c6ok them slowly in a heavy syrup till tender and of a rich red color, and the liquid jellies. When making pastry cups in which to serve creamed chicken, peas, etc., roll the crusts thin and cut out with a large cookie cutter. Then reverse your jem pans or patty tins and press the crusts over tne bottom of them and bake. This plan is much belter than placing them inside the tins, as it leaves the inside of the cups smooth and of larger capacity. If you make “dutch*' or cottage cheese, be careful and don't cook the curd too hard, as the softer it U, the more wholesome and digestible. After draining off the whey, add to the curd salt, a liberal quantity of cream and a little sugar. ’ Looking Backward. Let us give the kaleidoscope of time a turn, and look with Chas. Carlton Collin, upon the Thanksgiving of one hundred years ago. “Thanksgiving—on a Thursday in November—was the great day of the year appointed by tbe government. The harvest was secure, corn-husking over, tbe potatoes were in the cellar, the apples gathered, and tbe cider made. Tbe wheat was on a scaffold in the barn waiting tbe pounding of tbe flail; the flax had been spread upon tbe green sward to rot during tbe rains of autumn; it bad been bound in bundles ready for the breaking during tbe winter days. The sheep and the cattle were home from the pastures. Turkeys and chickens had been fattening through the fall. Such abundance called for gladness of heart and thanksgiving to God. “The preceding days were days of preparation. Turkeys and chickens were killed and sent U» market. There was the chopping of meat and apples for mince pies, and the mak­ ing of plum-pudding, cakes, tarts, and sauces. On Thanksgiving morn­ ing the minister preached a sermon, and tbe singers sang a joyful anthem. Children and grandchildren came to the old home to eat dinner with grand­ father and grandmother. Fires were kindled in the parlore, the shutters of the windows which bad been closed during the year were thrown back to let the sunlight in upon tbe highbacked chairs, the homespun carpet, tiw decanters of cut glass on the side­ board, filled with Port and Maderia wine, Jamaica and New England rum. When the meeting was over they went to their dipner, everybody eating and drinking all they could: and when the dinner was over the old folks talk­ ed of what was going on in the great world, while the young folks romped in the kitchen, playing all the games they could think of, eating pop-corn, apples, and drinking their flfl of cider — getting the most they could out of Thanksgiving.” While on the Road. This life, be it long, or short, is but a moment in eternity. How foolish, then, to spend that little moment in ceaseless care and vain regret. Live carefully, but not cowardly; and when all is * done, whether it be for weal or woe, waste no time in lamentation unless there i»e something to be done to readjust lhe havoc made. And when all is done that can be done, darken not the world by wearing u sorrowful face, for whatever our trouble may be we have no right to let its cloud, fail upon those about us. Brooding upon the eggs of sorrow can hatch nothing but misery. Many a woman has debilitated her­ self for the labors of to day by brood­ ing on the cares of yesterday. And many a man has lost all life had to offer him simply )>ecause he walked backwards while keeping his eyes fixed upon the disappointments of the past. . When a thing Is past let it go; it is l»ound to go anyhow, way back and back into the dim yesterdays, and if you cling to it you will only be dragged along,with it, and the bright­ er opportunities of to-morrow will not know you beca use, as they come upon you from out of lhe future, they see nothing hut the hack of your head. So, friend of your own, forget the thing that went wrong, but shut your eyes one little moment before taking up the reins again, and crowd the lesson of it*ilown tight into one little corner of your heart, where it will keep ’you from making the same mis­ take again, and then drive fast and true to ti.e open highway. A Better Friend. How I wish I could go with these thoughts of mine into tbe homes they will enter. I would like to take you by the hand, look into your (ace and read there the story your life has written. Good or bad, glad or sad, hopeful and helpful, or obstinate, whatever your life has been, every line is there indelibly impressed. Oh, brother of mine, sister of mine, don’t I know that every heart has its secret sorrow and also its secret joy? And I will tell you now that if I could for the asking have the onfi or the other taken from my life, I would not want it so, for of such I am. Each little joy and each little sorrow has entered in­ to the making of me. And although I am not what I would like to be. such as I am, i am myself, and they each have done their part to make me so. Each has become as important a part of me as a foot or hand, and to take one little experience from my life would be to make me iess. I would like to sit at the table with you and share with you the resuk of your labors. To know and realize what each loaf of bread has cost you in effort and in thought, from the seed, through the mill and the oven until it lay in slices before me. And then to know that I was able to bring to you such comfort and ioy that you would feel the favor paid and the debt dis­ charged—that would be a little bit of heaven for me. But while I cannot be with you and weigh with you vour reasons for thanksgiving, you have a Friend with whom, I trust, you have a better ac­ quaintance and for whom you have a greater love and a warmer welcome. He knows every pang and every pain that has been your portion during the year, and a trust in His all wise love and guidance will bring you the peace and tbe joy that will fill your heart with a wholesome thanksgiving for everythnig that has come into your life. And this is the kind of compensa­ tion that pays better than the ooin of the realm. The pain has gradually left me and the cliff joints are getting more limber.

The experienced orchardlst does net have to be told that it pays better to keep his orchard under cultivation than in *od, but not so with many orchard owners, who persist in trying to raise two good crops on the same soil. This of course cannot be accom­ plished to advantage and the sooner the farmer and small grower find it out and manage the operations accord­ ingly the better it will be from a profit-making standpoint. The New York experiment station has recently completed an orchard survey of one of the counties of the state which pre­ sents some Interesting and significant data with regard to tbe value of culti­ vation. The results show that orchards tilled, ten years or more yielded 327 bush­ els per acre with an income of 1182; those tilled five years or more yielded 274 bushels, with an Income of 1133; those tilled over half of five years 225 bushels, with an income of 1113. Sod treatment for over half of five years yielded 222 bushels, with an in­ come of |107; sod five years or more yielded 204 bushels, with an Income of >108; sod ten years or more yielded 176 bushels, with an income of |87. Computations taken from the above records show that- the five-year aver­ age yields of orchards that have been tilled ten years is 86 per cent, larger than that of those that have been In sod ten years or more, and those tilled five years gave 34 per cent, better re­ sults than those in r«*i for five years. These figures include all orchards examined. As most tilled orchards are accorded better attention than the ones left in sod there Is a greater difference In favor of tillage. Because of this fact the station makes a sec­ ond report of results found in which the neglected orchards are not consid­ ered. Under this kind cd consideration orchards tilled ten years or more yielded 337 bushels, with an income of 8189; tilled over five years yielded 296 bushels, with an Income of >148; tilled over half of five years, yielded 234 bushels, with an Income of 8121. Sod over half of five years yielded 242 bushels, with an Income of 3118; sod over five years or more yielded 258 bushels, with an income of 8134; sod ten years or more yielded 232 bushels, with an income of'|117.

GLASGOW There 1* considerable Interest in the mind* of fruit growers about the question regarding the comparative value.of tbe two systems of orchard treatment, clean culture and sod cul­ ture. Some very careful experiments under the supervision of the state sta­ tions, especially in Ohio and New York, have been conducted. And there are some practical fruit growers giv­ ing these plans the test of actual trial in a business way. So far there have been some rather conclusive re­ sults that others would do well to obOne of these is that on steep land It is very hazardous and often very wasteful of tbe fertility of the soil to practice clean culture. The waste by wash Is too great, in such cases there can and should be some -method of culture used that will prevent the sol! waste, and only strips should be cul­ tivated at most. These can te al­ ternated so as to have the soil loose from tillage between rows running parallel with the slope, and in the rows a gnus mulch, deciares Prof. v*n Deman, in Orange Judd Farmer. By this I mean that the grass, weeds, •tc., be mowed and forked under the branches of the tree- to serve as a mulch. By growing cowpeas in the in­ terspaces and letting the crop rot on the ground, or pasturing it down by hogs, much fertility (nitrogen) may be added to the soil at almost no ex­ pense. If potash in tbe form of muri­ ate or sulphate, and phosphorus in some of ths preparations of bone or rock phosphate, are applied liberally, there should be no difficulty In keep­ lux the soil rich.

BE LANDED Startling Developments Are Expected When Truth Comes, As Neither Apology Nor Money Will Be Ac­ cepted ae Satisfaction. Government Wins Sweeping Victory In * Its Fisht Against Giant Trust—Corporatlon Found Guilty ot Stifling Competition—Will Appeal. 8L Paul, Minn.. Nov. 22.—The gov­ ernment won a sweeping victory over the Standard Oil corporation, in an opinion written by Judge Walter H. Sanborn of St. Paul and concurred in by Judges Vandeventer, Hook and Adams, with a special concurring oplnIon by Judge Hook, the United States circuit court for the eastern district of Missouri handed down an opinion declaring the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey an illegal combination, operatlng' in restraint of trade, and or­ dered Its dissolution. The opinion of the court and the or­ der of dissolution were filed simultane­ ous In St. Paul and St. Louis. The decree takes effect in 30 days from the date of Its filing, unless suspended by an appeal to the supreme court. At that time an injunction will be is­ sued restraining tbe Standard Oil Company from a further continuance of its business under its present for­ mation. Thirty-three of the seventy-odd con­ cerns tn the Standard corporation are excepted from the order of dissolution aad the bill fs dismissed as against them. Combination Sure to Bo Illegal. It appears from the concurring opin­ ion written by Judge Hook that the company cannot do business under any form with the object of stifling competition, for he says that with the end of tbe combination the monopoly will naturally disappear, but should it not do so, and the members of the . combination retire from It, except one who might perpetuate the monopoly by the aggregation of the physical properties and Instrumentalities, It would constitute a violation ot the de­ cree of the court. The gist of tbe decision of the court lies in tbe syllabus, which declares 'that the test of the legality of corpo­ rations under the anti-trust act is to be found In the necessary effect the combination er corporation has upon competition in commerce among the states and with other nations. This is, the court believes, a simple test to apply and one which is easy of appli­ cation. In judging the legality of a corporation or combination in the fu­ ture.' tbe courts will, if the decision be followed, ascertain whether or not the restraint of trade, if there be any. is incidental or necessary. That Is to say, that If by a combination of capi­ tal and effort made solely with a view to legitimately increasing the business of a corporation there be a resultant restraint of trade which is purely inci­ dental, then such corporation is not within the purview of the anti-trust act If, on the other band, a combina­ tion or corporation chances to be such that, by the very nature of its organi­ llation and its methods it results In re­ straint of trade, then, it is Illegal and should be discontinued. Oil’s Plea Is Rejected. In the trial the point was made that the Standard OU Company was a beneficent corporation, in that it, by reason of economy In operation, re­ duced the price of its product. This, Judge Hook says, can have no weight Attorneys for tbe Standard OU Com­ pany, in talking of the decision, de­ clare that it will of necessity cause a change tn the form of organization, but that the substance of the oil trust will b* left in another form. Attor­ neys for the government do not be­ lieve that such a result is possible un­ der the decision of the court, which is specific and sweeping in its character. The decree of the court is sufficiently broad and explicit to cover any sub­ terfuge as to the form ot organization which might be effected in the future with a view to circumventing the evi­ dent purpose of tbe decision, which is to make it impossible tor any combi­ nation of companies and of capital to i monopoly of trade and thus to stifle competition. WILL RESCUE 20 MINERS MEN 88 THOUGHT DEAD SEVEN DAYS AGO SNATCHED FROM TOMB. CORPSES BROUGHT OUT Under Direction of Experienced Coal Workers Small Band Makes Suc­ cessful Fight for Life—Rapturous Joy Prevails at Cherry. Cherry, III., Nov. 22.—Twenty men, pronounced dead daya ago by all the mining experts in Illinois, rose from the depths of tbe St. Paul mine, where, with 310 others, they had been entombed for seven days, and' when ' tbe people looked at them they were alive. Forty-two bodies were recovered Monday. Fifty-nine were taken out previously. Twenty men have been rescued. Thia leaves more than two hundred unaccounted for. The opening to the third, or lowest level of tbe St. Paul mine has been forced and the removal of bodies or the rescue of scores believed to be im­ prisoned in the vein will begin soon. Tests showed the existence of air in the lower vein. Tbe news of tbe rescue of living men swept through the village like s telepathic wave. It transformed a community which was groveling in the deepest pits of woe into a com­ munity delirious with joy. intoxicated with hope. Gaze at Own Coffins. When their eyes, accustomed for a week to the inky blackness of a sealed-up mine, wete able to take in the sights around them one of the first things that they saw was the piled-up coffins in which, by all the' laws of science and engineering, they were to have been buried. When they were able to speak, the first words that left their lips were words that brought up hope that hun­ dreds of other men yet in the mine might be still alive. During the long watches of their own imprisonment they said they had heard sounds that made them sure that the crannies and corridors about them held living men. Third Vein Untouched. Hope that there are other men alive in the mine is based on the fact that its area covers nearly a square mile and that the third vein has scarcely been touched by the smoke. All the men saved were in the second vein. In the third vein are at least 100 men. There is a great quantity of water there, but there is still hope that some ot them are alive. Ten minutes before the first of tbe rescued miners came to tbe surface the news that they had been saved had been flashed like lightning over the town. Workmen dropped their tools, storekeepers left their counters, tbe local banker directed that his vaults be locked, and deserted the in stKution. “The Men Are Alive "The men are alive!” rang in s scream through the streets. Women dropped their work and. snatching up their children, ran to the main shaft. Hope and despair fought a battle on every face. Men showed their excltemsat by shouting incoherent nothings st one another, while the women, trembling in every limb, could not even weep. They stood and stared. At last the first car came to the sur­ face. It contained eight men, all on cots. White canvas was spread over each so that tbe face was hidden. The cots were carried off the elevator and a squad of soldiers stepped forward with each to bold back ^he spectators while It was being borne to the tem­ porary hospital tn a Pullman car Crowd Surges Forward. A tumult of shouting followed and Richard Watson Glider Dead. New York, Nov. 19—Richard Wat­ the crowd surged toward the rescued son Gilder, author and editor of the Century Magazine, died of heart dis­ overwhelm them. The militia sprang ease. Mr. Gilder was born at Borden­ town, N. J., in 1844. The crowd went forward, straining every energy to see who it was that lay beneath the cloth. Then almost simultaneously, from 50 throats, went up the cry: "They're alive." Tbe militia were swept out of the Suddenly Capt. Hall threw up his hand. “Men." be shouted, ''you'll kill these men if you try to touch them now. Stand back, for they're saved. We know we can't stop you; stand back.” The words had an Instant effect. Then a man on one of tbe cots lifted his mask of canvas and looked out at the crowd with a weak grin. That gave a touch of humor to the situa­ tion and the crisis was over. Wives Meet Husbands. After the men had been taken to the hospital there came a pause, and then the relatives of tbe saved men were called in. Twenty-one men came out of the mine alive because science beat tbe brute forces of the earth. Two of the twenty-one men—George Eddy and Walter Waite—are the heroes of the rescue. Without their intelligence and skill the 19 men with them must have perished. Eddy is the assistant man­ ager of the mine. He is a mining en­ gineer, and a good one. Walter Waite, the second vein examiner, knows all lhe Intricacies of the St Paul mine as well as tbe average man knows the topography of bis own back yard. When the general alarm of fire was given two men dashed toward tbe main shaft. They found the way barred by fire and turned back. Com­ ing up behind them they found 19 men. They stopped them snd told them that hope of escape by way ot the shaft was out of the question. They said that It they would follow their orders they might save their lives. To Waite and Eddy the leader­ ship of the group was the natural thing and the 19 agreed to obey their orders. Form a Government. The whole party then ran to a dis­ tant gallery of the mine in which the air was found to be comparatively pure. The two commanders ordered the men to knead mine dust with wa­ ter found in the floor of the drift, and make rough bricks. With these a wall was built up that shut off the gallery from the rest of the mine, and ef­ fectively kept off the black damp. Then a vein of coal was pierced by Eddy and Waite, who knew that in every coal vein water can be found. A regular system of policing was estab­ lished. a little state was formed In a closed mine gallery 300 feet under the crest of the earth. The food was divided so as to pre vent any one person from starving while his companions bad anything of their meager store to spare. A similar provision was made with the water. When the food was all gone, the two leaders, by prayer and words of good cheer, strove to keep their courage up. At last, at tbe end of seven days of untold privation, the crisis came The men had almost lost hope. One of their number, who for hours had been showing signs of insanity, ran to the life-saving wall and beat a part of it down. His companions were too weak to restrain him. He ran out into the darkness perhaps 100 feet and then the black damp seised him. He staggered and fell dead. Build Up Wall Again. With Infinite effort the men who were left built up the wall again. When it was finished they again sat down and waited, with every sense acute, in the darkness for some sign that might give them hope. Hour after hour passed by and no sign of a rescue came. At last a conference was held and it was decided to mare a dash for liberty. A small hole was cut in the wall and eight men, headed by David Waite, passed through. They advanced through the dreaded black damp zone with beating hearts. Nothing could be seen. No sound could be beard. Soddenly at the farther end of the corridor came the rattle of footsteps and the flash of a light. It was the rescuers from above. They bad at last cut through tbe heavy fall of coal that choked the passage from the main shaft. The miners were saved. Washington, Nor. t2.—With formid­ able fleets of light draught United States gunboats and .with rapid fire rifles moving on Nicaragua on both the Atlantic and Pacific sides, start­ ling developments are looked for with in tbe next few days,- If not hours. No mere apology and compensation will be accepted from President Ze­ laya as satisfaction for the shooting of two Americans by the president's orders. This information comes from the state department through an offi­ cial who knows what be is talking about It is probably safe to predict that the force of marines wiU be land­ ed in President Zelaya's domain in­ side of a day or two and that there will be some real fighting for the government of Nicaragua to engage in. Zelaya May Be Executed. The insurgent forces In Nicaragua may be recognized as belligerents as the' first move and within a few hours. This would put Zelaya In a sorry pre­ dicament. as such a step would carry with it the support for the insurgents of the American forces. This could have only one result—the triumph.of the insurgents and the capture of Ze­ laya, with tbe fate of Emperor Maximilllan of Mexico awaiting him. The gunboat Vicksburg arrived off Corinto. on the Pacific coast of Nica­ ragua, and the Buffalo with 500 ma­ rines will reach there before Thurs­ day. The cruiser Des Moines has ar­ rived at Port Limon on the Atlantic side. The gunboats Dubuque and Paducah also have been ordered to the -Carib­ bean sea. 400 Marines Ordered Out Preparations are being made for 400 marines to sail from Philadelphia Sat­ urday. This force will land in Nica­ ragua, if developments in the situation there within the next day or two re­ quire such a course.' All will depend upon the action to be taken by the state department, which is marking time pending the receipt of additional details of the killing of Groce and Cannon, the two Americans. The departure of the marines comes as a result of rush orders sent to the League Island nacy yards after the state department received the prelim­ inary report of the slaying by Presi­ dent Zelaya’s orders of the two men. It had been intended to send the ma­ rines to Panama to relieve about 380 marines now on duty there. By work­ ing night and day the League island force will be able to finish repairs on tbe ships by November 27, and that date has been set for the sailing of the marines.

St Joseph, Mich., Nov. 23.—Two of the finest passenger steamers of the Graham A Morton Transportation Hue. operating between Chicago. Holland and St. Joseph, suffered a narrow escat»e from foundering off this port. The City of Benton Harbor lies at her docks here, having reached port after thrilling fight of five hours with a 60-mlle gale of wind and snow, while the steamer Puritan, a staunch boat of steel, rudderless and to more or less extent at the mercy of tbe seas, lies off New Buffalo, some 18 mifes south of here. Tugs from South Chi­ cago are fighting their wsy across the lake to succor the disabled craft. Offi­ cials of the Graham k Morton Com­ pany here say the Puritan Is in no danger, though her wireless is wrecked and communication with her is Impossible. A few hours out of Chicago the Puritan lost her rudder, snd from then on until her anchors were dropped as a last resort she drifted helplessly at the mercy of wpve and wind. Blown far from her course she was steadily making shoreward when anchors were dropped, which followed a thrilling attempt on the part of the Benton Harbor to put a line aboard the helpless boat In the heavy gale, however, this was Impossible. Before a line could be securely fastened it parted and sn Instant later the Ben­ ton Harbor's stern struck the Puri­ tan's bow, damaging the Benton Har­ bor a little. Fearing for his own ves­ sel, Capt Hlmmons fought his way Into port with the greatest difficulty.

Tbe blade of tbe oar Is bound In rubber to prevent its breaking when It comes In contact with the floor, and Rice takes bls freshmen, one by one, every afternoon and gives them flve or ten minutes* practice with the new oar. As yet no weight has been put on the oar, but Rice thinks that this cun be done with little trouble, and if the new device proves to be satisfactory * full set will probably be installed at Columbia. walked along together, Bradford want co cross <n front of Swart* to talc* the opposite side on account at kto shooting left i.anded.

Or else I never should have come back to pack up the furniture. We should have let the fiat remain a glad mem­ ory in all its original glory. Then I should have been spared the sight ot my best Bokhara rug In the passage­ way between the kitchen and dining room and my best vase being used as an ash receiver! I saved all my ten­ cent pieces for six months to encom­ pass the purchase of that vase—and then, the tenant, who wore diamonds and said she loved * Vogner’ music, said she couldn't find anything In the house she dared give her busband to use for ashes until she stumbled on that cheap little colored-glass thing on the mantel! She bald she thought colored glass vulgar on the whole— “I don't know why it is that the most rigorously moral persons, on renting somebody else's home fur­ nished, at once become gladsomely Ir­ responsible heathens. “Still, I think I could have stood it all if it hadn't been for the picture ot ‘Washington Crossing the Delaware.' I didn't own It—the tenant did. I didn't even know it was In the flat. I was too much engaged in waiting on the misanthropic man who had ar­ rived with what seemed like a lumber yard and an excelsior factory to crate my own pictures for shipping. "Mournfully I carted them In and deposited them about him in a circle like a funeral pyre. I felt that way because, of course. I didn't know whether I ever should see them again except in small fragments. This mov­ ing Is so uncertain. But the packer was a good man at heart and assured me that he would do his best. "And be did. Such layers of excel­ sior, such bracing and wadding of corners I never hope to see again. I dwell upon this particularly In view of what happened later. That man tolled for hours—and I was paying him for his time. He tugged and pounded and nailed and tied and stuffed excelsior till finally that huge crate was as solid as a brick. I don’t believe you could have got a pin inserted in It, for there wasn't a crev­ ice big enough anywhere. It was a triumph of packing. “Just as the man paused before driving the last nail to wipe the sweat from his brow, tbe tenant tore madly into tbe kitchen where we were. She was a little woman and she hopped around like a distracted chicken. “ 'Where,' she shrieked, ‘where is my Washington? My "Washington Crossing the Delawarer ’ “The packer and I gazed stupidly at each other. I think by this time the excelsior had got into our brains. ‘ 'I dunno. ma'am.' the pecker stam­ mered. after staring wildly into the sink and under the kitchen table. ‘Is he a dog or a cat?* “ 'Don’t try to act Innocent.’ cried the tenanL shaking her finger at him. It was my Washington that my great­ aunt brought from New Hampshire as a present the year all of us children had the measles and she came to visit pa! I set it down by the radi­ ator, right here—and it's gone! You've put It in that box and you've just got to unpack it!’ "There was an agonized instant tn which the packer swayed limply and hung across that huge box like a rag. When he got his breath he said he’d be everlastingly something or other if he did! Unless he got paid for It! “The tenant had fierce eyes. I mur­ mured a few weak, temporizing things such as that I would send the picture back after I unpacked the box at its destination. I even suggested buying her another. Thereupon she explod­ ed. She said I had no feelings and that she was going to have her origi­ nal Washington that her revered great-aunt bad given, and that no money could replace IL 1 gathered that it was a work of art done by an old master and that the rest of the con­ tents of the box were dross to it. "Beneath her gaze I crumpled and gave the word to unpack. "I didn't watch the process. /T" couldn't have stood the sight of'/all that excelsior being pried out. The farther the man excavated the box the more sprightly grew the packer's lan­ guage, but when at last ho found Washington he was dumb from ex­ haustion and rage. It was the very first picture he had packed and of course was at the bottom of the box. "Eagerly I rushed to gaze on the masterpiece. I found I could dupli­ cate it for 50 cents in any department store in the world and I wanted to burst into tears. “But I left that act to Tom—wait till be gets the packer's bill!” e Money in Cc a housekeeper can buy is a Mothers Kit Go to your grocer and ask him to show it to you.

Washington, Nov. 20.—There is good foundation for the report that marines have been landed on Nicaraguan soil. Officials of the state and navy depart­ ments will not deny the report They admit that the situation has taken on additional gravity because Caldera, the American vice-consul, is in danger. Fears the Worst His life has been twice threatened by President Zelaya himself. Fearing the worst Caldera is now In retreat In the American legation where he rushed to escape the fate which has confronted him hourly since the re­ ceipt by Zelaya of the ultimatum of the United States. The government proposes to take no ■further chances now that the true situation has been revealed. It will rescue Caldera, if ft requires the land­ ing of an army, in addition to tbe several thousand marines and jackles which can be pu| into Nicaragua at once. The only fear now Is that with Ze­ laya's threats, a state of anarchy ex­ isting and on the outbreak of anothei revolution against Zelaya. Calders may meet death before succor can reach him. Feeling at Fever Heat. Events have followed each other with such startling rapidity In the Nicaraguan situation that feeling among the high officials of the state, war and navy departments is almost at fever heat. * Several conferences which Secretary of War Dickinson and his chief ol staff, Gen. Bell, have bad with Presi­ dent Taft, give increased force to the statement that the army, which is in the highest state of preparedness ever before In Its history, will be ordered any moment to land in Nicaragua. The belated word of Caldera's dan­ ger was received through wireless from the Des Moines. Tbe American commanders of the half-dozen cruis­ ers in Nicaraguan waters were told to get into communication at once with Caldera nad lose no time or force In ascertaining where he was and why be was incommunicado. Communication Is Reopened. It Ik was W the LUO icvpcunig reopening UL of this VUIUcommunication that brought to the impatlent and tired officials of the state department an accurate report of the exact conditions In and about ManThere was much information In the .■ dispatches regarding details of the j| murder of the two Americans, Cannon j and Groce, of the insurgent force, and | the attitude of Zelaya toward the pris­ I oners, as well as toward Caldera and ; the United States government. j Aside from the unusual gravity o! the situation as just disclosed by the advices as to Caldera's safety, the government is deeply worried over the fact that another revolutionary force has taken the field. Three-Cornered Fight The officials here are exercised be­ cause they thought the situation well in hand. They could deal with the head of the provisional government, Estrada, but with another Richmond in the field the situation threatens to become a muddle. The new aspirant for Zelaya’s place is Irias, the minis­ ter-general of the present governmnt There is a fear that aspirants may become an epidemic and that there will be interminable trouble, eve after Zelaya has been disposed of. Dispatches received by Jie state department say the new movement Is meeting with strong support. A three­ cornered fight would be decidedly un welcome to the United States. This Is the information sent to United States Senator Borah of fitaho who has prepared a resolution to pre­ sent to congress calling for an inves­ tigation of the sugar trust The In­ formation is sent by a prominent busi­ ness man of New York who for 20 years has been close to the sugar trust and Its dealings. • This man announced in bls letter that he was willing to appear as a witness If a congressional investlga- . tion were started, and would bring for the inspection of the committee proofs of all that he asserts. Mr. Borah has been told that he can count an two-thirds of the senate supporting his resolution. In the let­ ter the writer gives an account of the methods used by the trust to perfect Its "system." He said tbe beads ot the sugar , trust were the guilty ones and not the employes. He added that every theft was done with a full sanc­ tion of the heads, and that the trust was not only guilty of fraud by theft, but grossly guilty of violation of the Sherman anti-trust law. CHERRY MINE PROBE BEGUN Coroner Takes Identification State* C~ merits of Relatives and Friends of Miners Killed in PH. Cherry, Ill., Nov. 30.—Investigation as to the causes of the St. Paul mine disaster was begun Dy Coroner A. H. Malm with the taking of Identification statements of relatives and friends of the victims whose bodies have been recovered from the mine. All day long a pathetic line of worn women passed into the Uttle city hall here to produce proof that their hus­ bands and fathers were lost in the mine. By evening the identity of 30 bodies had been established. At least three days will be consumed In this tedious work before the stories of the surviv­ ors will be heard. In order to secure the testimony of those who have knowledge of the accident, the Inves­ tigation will be pushed as rapidly as possible because of the general exodus from Cherry of tb6 miners and their families.

"And, i oddly enough, the first of those stories Is'about Samarkand, which is. not bo far from Baraka's native Ullage. It seems to have taken the girl about a year to find her way to Constantino­ ple, and when she got there she natur­ ally supposed that it was the capital of the world, and that her man, being very great and very rich, thanks to her, must of course live there. So she ••arched Stamboul and Pera for him. daring seven or eight months. She lived in the house of a good old Per­ sia* merchant, under the protection of hla wife, and learned that there was a world called Europe where her man aascht be living, and cities called Paris aad London, where people pay fabukwui prices for precious stones. - Per­ sian merchants are generally well-edu­ cated men, you know. At last she made up her mind to dress like a man. she picked up an honest Turkish man­ servant who had been all over Europe •with a diplomatist and could speak some French and English as well as Tartar, she got a letter of recommen­ dation to me from a Greek banker, through the Persian who did business ■with him. joined some Greeks who were coming to Marseilles by sea, and here she Is.

Of course, she'll never find the brute who thought he was leaving her to be mur­ dered by her relations, but If she ever did. she would either marry him or cut his throat." “Nice, amiable kind of girl." re­ marked Mr. Van Torp. who remem­ bered her behaviour when he had. re­ fused her proffered gift. “That’s very interesting. Mr. Logothetl. How long do you count on being in London this time? Three or four days, maybe?" “I dare say. .No longer. I fancy." “Why don't you come and take din­ ner with me some night?” asked the American. “Day after to-morrow, perhaps. I’d be pleased to have you." "Thank you very much." Logothetl answered. "Since yon ask me. I see no reason why 1 -should not dine with you. If you want me." They agreed upon the place and hour, and each suddenly remembered an engagement ' “By the way," said Mr. Van Torp, without apparent Interest, "I hope Mme. Cordova is quite well? Where's she hiding from you?" “Just now the hiding-place is BayreuWi. She’s gone there with Mrs. Rushmore to hear ‘Parsifal.’ 1 be­ lieve I'm not musical enough for that, so I’m roving till it's over. That's my personal history at this moment! And Miss Donne Is quite well, I believe, thank you." "I notice you call her ‘Miss Donne' when you speak of her," said Van Torp. "Excuse me if I made a mis­ take just now. I've always called her Mme. Cordova.” “It doesn't matter at all." answered Logothetl carelessly, "but I believe she prefers to be called by her own name amungst friends. Good-by till day after to-morrow, then." “At half after eight." , “AU right—half-past—I shall re­ member.” But at two o'clock, on thte next day but one, Logothetl received a note brought by hand, in which Mr. Van Torp said that to his great regret he had been called away suddenly, and hoped that Logothetl would forgive him, as the matter was of such urgent Importance that he would have al­ ready left London when the note was received. This was more than true. If pos­ sible, for the writer had left town two days earlier, very soon after he had parted from Logothetl In Pall Mall, although the note bad not been delivered till 48 hours later. CHAPTER V. Mr. Van Torp knew no more about Bayreuth than about Samarkand, be­ yond the fact that at certain stated times performances of Wagner's operas were given there with as much solemnity as great religious festivals, and that musical people spoke of the Bayreuth season tn a' curiously rever­ ent manner. He would have been much surprised if any one had told AN UNSURPASSED REMEDY! “Well, it's not much of a place." said Mr. Van Torp. thoughtfully.

Sharp through the door, and has lodged a complaint already because I whistled while I was shaving. It’s not a very good hotel. Who is E. Sharp, any­ way? Maybe that was the name of the last man who occupied that room. I don't know, but I don’t like the id 3a of having a mad German pianist for a neighbor. He may get in while I'm asleep and think I'm the piano, and hammer the life out of me, the way they do. I’ve seen a perfectly new piano wrecked in a single concert by a fellaw who didn't look as if he bad the strength to kick a mosquito. They're so deceptive, pianists! Nervous men* are often like that, and most pianists are nothing but nerves and hair." "I Tsll You, I Know It Is E Sharp.” him that he often whistled fragments of “Parsifal" to himself and liked the sound of them; for he had a natural ear and a good memory, and had whistled remarkably well 'when he was a boy. The truth about this seemingly im­ possible circumstance was really very simple. In what he called his cow­ punching days, he' had been for six months in company with two young men who used to whistle softly to­ gether. by the hour beside the camp fire, and none of the other "boys" had ever heard the strange tunes they seemed to like best, but Van Torp had caught and remembered many fragments, almost unconsciously, and he whistled them to himself because they gave him a sensation which no "real music," ever did. Extraordinary natures. like his, are often endowed with unnoticed gifts and tastes quite unlike those of most people. No one knew anything about the young men who whistled Wagner; the "Lost Legion" hides many secrets, and the two were not popular with the rest, though they knew their business and did their work fairly well. One of them was afterwards said to have been killed In a shooting affray and the other had disappeared about the same time, no one knew how, or cared, though Mr. Van Torp thought he had recognized him once, many years later. They were neither Amer­ icans nor Englishmen, though they both spoke English well, and never were heard to use any other language. Mr. Van. Torp was fond of music, quite apart from his admiration for the greatest living lyric soprano, and since it was his fancy to go to Bay­ reuth In the hope of seeing her, he meant to hear Wagners masterpiece, and supposed that there would not be any difficulty about such a simple mat­ ter. nor about obtaining tne sort of rooms he was accustomed to. in the sort of hotel be expected to find where so many rich-people went every other year. Any one Vno has been to the holy place of the Wagnerians san Imagine his surprise when, after infinite difficulty, he found himself, his belongings and hrs man deposited In one small attic room of a Bavarian tanner's house, with one feather-bed, one basin and one towel for furniture. “Stemp," said Mr. Van Torp, "this Is a heathen town." "Yes, air." “I suppose I’m thought close about money." continued the millionaire, thinking aloud, “but I call |5 a day dear for this room, don’t you?” "Yes, sir, I do Indeed!

Beg pardon,, sir, but do you think It would cost a great deal?" “They’d ask a great deal, anyway," answered the millionaire thoughtfully. “Stemp, suppose you get me out some things and then take a look around, while I try to get a wash In that—that tea-service there.” Mr. Van Torp eyed the exiguous basin and jug with some curiosity and much contempL Stemp, impassive and correct under all circumstances, unstrapped » valise, laid out on the bed what his master might need, and inquired if he wished anything else. “There Isn't anything else," an­ swered Mr. Van Torp. gloomily. , "When shall 1 come back, sir?" "In 25 minutes. There isn't half an hour's wash tn that soup-plate, anyway." Ha eyed the wretched basin with a glance that might almost have cracked It. When his man had gone, he proceeded to his toilet, such as it was. and solaced himself by softly whistling as much of the “Good Fri­ day” ‘music Aft he renxembered, Httie dreaming what it was. or that bls per­ formance was followed with nervous and almost feverish interest by the “Do you mean me?” he inquired In a displeased tone'.

Please answer in the Republican.” The Republican sub­ mitted the problem to Prosecuting At­ torney McPeek who furnishes the fol­ lowing opinion: "In ease either a vehicle drawn by I horse or a motor vehicle be overtaken I by a motor vehicle, and the-person in charge of the motor or vehicle shall express a desire to pass, it is the duty of the driver of the vehicle overtaken to turn to the right of the traveled portion of the highway, allowing the vehicle approaching from the rear to pass around to the left. In such case it is as much lhe duty of the driv­ er of the. motor vehicle to render assistance to the-occupant of the vehi­ cle he is passing, if requested, as i though the two vehicles were approach-1 ing from the opposite directions.”— I Charlotte Republican.

Because they hare no pre­ ferred stockholders to demand and receive the bulk of the profits. In­ terest is paid out of earnings. Near­ ly all earnings of other financial in­ stitutions go to slock holders, who get as high as 20% dividends (interest) per year, while their depositors get but two or three per cent. Building and Loan companies divide all earn­ ings equally. The Battle Creek Building and Loan Association pays five per cent on time deposits. For j particulars write G. D. Whitmore, ! Middleville.

Let the sailor bring a sea shell, the poet a poem, and the painter a picture.” You are sad because you could not afford to buy the pretty things you saw in the store windows. You know some one who would be par-ticularly fond of a certain book or a piece of china. You heard mother say how she would like that hand­ some couch or rocker, and it grieves you more than going without a new coat to think you are not able to ipdulge yourself in liberal giving. Never mind. The best gift of all is one that money can not buy. Let the rich give the hand-painted china that may soon be broken, the book that will be read and laid away, and the fancy chair that will soon go out of style, but the gift of a sunny smile, a helping hand, will warm the heart of the receiver much more, and the memory of the gift itself will be treasured long after the giver and receiver have passed beyond tbe appreciation of -furniture and - bric-a-brac.

It was sometimes called "The Crossing," but a* the branch had long been impassable be­ cause of quicksands, these literal mountain folk had come to call it only "The Store.” Here the mall was brought, from the railroad twice a week by carrier. But It sometimes chanced that somebody had an er­ rand in town, and would "fetch" the letters with him. • This was just what happened the eve before Christmas. MacGregor him­ self, went for the mail—-and a goodly lot of It there was, too. Several post­ al cards, at least a dozen letters, and as many other parcels. He alighted from the wagon, bitched the mules outside, and hur­ ried to the door which his daughter held open for him. "My. Pappy, what a lot of letters! Any for me?" Her father put them on the grocery counter, and. going back to the wa­ gon. returned with a package of pep­ permint candy—sticks of red and white like small barber poles. These he put tn a glass jar, then noticed tbe girl. "Hello,. Mamie, what's In that there writin?" "Nothin’," was the terse response, and Mamie slipped the letter In her belt The man crossed to her with the swagger of conscious weakness.

It is believed by many that our cus­ tom of giving gifts at Christmas comes from an old custom of priests putting on board of all outgoing ships a box of alms. This box was opened at Christmas-time, and masses said for the giving of alms, and it was called a ''Christ Mass" box. From this has come our custom of boxes and gifts. The Man In th® Moon.

SAN-JAK NO STAR TO GUIDE Ail the year long we have been traveling toward Christmas—I and my old wife, qur children and our grand­ children—not all by the same road, not all with the same expectations, but all 16oking out alike for tbe first glimpse of Its smoke rising above the wintry landscape of the year. Now j we can almost fancy that we hear the chiming of the -famous bells—all Christmas towns are famous for their be'ris—and we know that we shall soon be at our Inn. ’ If life be a journey, and each year a stage upon the road, I do not know where else a sensible man would stop for the recruiting of his health than the fine old Christmas towns. There, if anywhere, men are to be found living together merrily; the inns are warm, the cheer is good, the I amusements are of the heartiest, and the society is of the best. I have been I through many a Christmas town—for • I have traveled far—and have rested thoroughly in each. I never found two of them alike. Of late they have been ' much grayer and quieter than they used formerly to be; but 1 do not think that 1 have been less happy of. the quiet towns at which I have of I late years resided. Let me confess so much. As for these about me who' declare them to be not quirt by any means, but perfectly uproarious with jollity, I do not interfere with their I opinion.

But it must have been something rath­ er complicated, to have an E sharp tn tt! B wasn't 'Suwanee Rriver,’ nor the *Waahlngton Post,’ either! Ju­ tted, I should rather like to know what it was." _ “OH tunes I picked up when I was enw-punching, years ago.” answered Mr. Van Torp. "I don't know where they came from, for I never asked, Irat they're not like, other tunes, that's eurtaln, end I like them. They re­ ’ of the old days out west. Levi Longlegs on the Ranch.’* when I had no money and nothing to worry about." *Tm very fond of whistling, too," Margaret said. - "I study all my parts by whistling them, so as to save my Voice.” “Really! I had no idea, that was feasible.” ’’Quite. Perhaps you whistle very well Won't you let me hear the tune that irritated your*neighbor, the planlet? Perhaps I know it, too." “Well,” said Mr. Van Torp, "I sup­ pose I could. I should be a little shy before you,” he added, quite naturally. Tt you'll excuse me. I’ll just go and stanefc before the window so that I can't "bee you! Perhaps I can manage it tbn’ K?y.” Margaret, who was bored to the verge of collapse on the off-days, thought him much nicer than ne had formerly been, and she liked his per­ fect simplicity. “Stand anywhere you like,” she ■aid, “but let me hear the tune." Van Torp rose and went to the window and she looked quietly at his square figure and his massive, sandy head and his strong neck. Presently be began to whistle, very softly and perfectly In tune. Many a street-boy could do as well, no doubt, and Mrs. Rushmore would have called.it a vul­ gar accomplishment, but the mag­ nificent prima donna was too true a musician, as well as a singer, not to take pleasure in a sweet sound, even if it were produced by a street-boy. But as Mr. Van Torp went on, she opened her eyes very wide and held her breath. There was no mistake about it; be was whistling long pieces from “Parsifal," as far as it was pos­ sible to convey an idea of such music by such means. Margaret had studied it before coming to Bayreuth, tn or­ der to understand It better; she had now already heard it once, and had felt the greatest musical emotion of her life—one that had stirred other emotions, too, strange ones quite new to her. She held her breath and listened, and her eyes that had been wide open in astonishment, slowly closed again tn pleasure, and presently, when he reached the “Good Friday” music, her own matchless voice floated out with her unconscious breath, In such per­ fect octaves with his high whistling that at first he did not understand; but when he did, the rough hard man shivered suddenly and steadied. bim­ r. hut/on CKwrox# seif against the windowwill, and Margaret's voice went-on. alone, with faintly breathed words and then without them, following the instru­ mentation to tbe end of the scene, beyond what he had ever heard. Then there was silence in the room, and neither of the two moved for some moments, but at last Van Torp turned, and came back. "Thank you," he said, in a low voice. Margaret smiled and passed her hand over her eyes quickly, as if to dispel a vision she bad seen. Then she spoke. “Do you really not know what that music isF’ she asked. "Really, really?" “Oh, quite honestly I don’t!” “You’re not joking? You're not laughing at me?" * “I?" He could not understand. "I shouldn't dare!” he said. “You've been whistling some of “Parsifal," some of the most beauti­ ful music that ever was written—and you whistle mavelloualy, for it's any­ thing but easy! Where in the world did you learn It? Don't tell me that those are ’old tunes’ you picked up on a California ranch!” "It’s true, all the same," Van Torp answered. He told her of the two foreigners who used to whistle together in the evenings, and how one was supposed to have been shot and the other had disappeared, no one bad known whith­ er, nor had cared. "All sorts of young fellows used to drift out there," he said, “and one couldn’t' tell where they came from, though I can give a guess at where some of them must have been, since I’ve seen the world. There were younger sons of English gentlemen, fellows whose fathers were genuine lords, maybe, who had not brains enough to get Into the army or the church. There were cashiered Prus­ sian officers, and Frenchmen who had most likely killed women out of jeal­ ousy, and Sicilian bandits, and brok­ en society men from New York. There were all sorts. And there was me. And we all spoke different kinds of English and had different' kinds of tastes, good and bad—mostly bad. There was only one Ching we could all do alike, and that was to ride.” “I never thought of you as riding." Margaret said. “Well, why should you? But I can, because I was just a common cow-boy and had to, for a living.” “It’s intensely interesting—what a strange life you have had! Tell me more about yourself, won’t you?*’ “There’s not much to tell, it seems to me,’’ said Van Torp. "From being a cow-boy I turned into miner, and struck a little silver, and I sold that and got into nickel, and I made the Nickel Trust what it 71s, more by financing it than anything else, and I got almost all of it.* And now I’ve sold the whole thing." “Sold the Nickel Trust?" Margaret was quite as much surprised as Lady Maud had been. "Yes. I wasn't made to do one thing long. I suppose. If I were, I should still be a cow-boy. Just now. I’m here to go to 'Parsifal.’ and since you say those tunes are out of that opera, I dare say I'm going to like it very much.” “It’s all very uncanny," Margaret said thoughtfully. “I wonder who those two men were, and what became of the one who disappeared." "I've a strong impression that I saw him In New York the other day," Van Torp answered. “If I'm right, he’s made money—doing quite well, I should think. It wouldn't surprise me i . hear he'd got together a million or so.” "Really? What is he doing? Your stories grow more and more inter­ esting." "If he's the fellow we used to cal! Levi Longlegs on the. ranch, he’s a Russian now. I'm not perfectly sure, for he had no hair on his face then, and now he has a beard like a French sapper. But the eyes and the nose and the voice and the accent are tbe same, and the age would about Cor­ respond. Handsome man. 1 suppose you’d call him. His name is Krnllnsl:- just at present, and he's found a whole mine of rubies somewhere.” 'Tleally? I love rubles. They are my favorite stones." "Are they? That’s funny. I’ve got an uncut one in my pocket now, if you’d like to see IL I believe it comes BAD COLDS Husky's. This is one of them." He bad unwrapped tbe stone now and be offered it to her. holding it out in the palm of his hand. She took it delicately and laid it'in her own, which was no white that the gem shed a delicate pompegranate-colored light on the skin all round IL She admired IL turned it over with one finger, held It up towards the window, and laid it in her palm again. But Van Torp bad set her thinking about Logotbetl and the Tartar girl. She put out her hand to give back the ruby. “I should like you to keep it. if you - will," he said. “I ■'shan’t forget the pleasure I’ve had in seeing you like this, but you’ll forget all about our meeting here—the stone may just make you remember it sometimes." He spoke so quietly, so gently, that she was taken off h6r guard, and was touched, and very much surprised to feel that she was. She looked into his eyes rather cautiously, remember­ ing well how she had formerly seen something terrifying In them if she looked an instant too long; but now they made her think of the eyes ot a large affectionate bulldog. “You’re very kind to want to give it to me," she answered after a mo­ ment's hesitation, “but I don’t like to accept anything so valuable, now that I’m engaged to be married. Konstantin might not like it. But you're so kind; give me any little thing of no value that you have In your pocket, for I mean to remember this day, indeed I do!" , "I gave nothing for the ruby,” said Van Torp, still not taking it from her. “so it has no value for me. I wouldn't offer you anything that cost me money, now, unless it waa a theater for your own. Perhaps the thing's gloss, after all; I’ve not shown It to any jeweler. Tbe girl made me take IL because I helped her in a sort of way. When I wanted to pay for It she tried to throw it out of the window. So I had to accept jt to calm her down, and she went off and left no address, and I thought I'd. like you to have it, if you would.” "Are you quite, quite sure you did not pay for It?*' Margaret asked. "If we Ote going to be friends, you xnust "I’ve told you exactly what hap­ pened,” said Van Torp. “Won’t you "Yes, I will, and thank you very much indeed. I love rubles, and this is a beauty, and not preposterously Mg. 1 think I shall have it set as It is, uncut, and only polished, so that it will always be Itself, just as you gave it to me. I shall think of the Good Friday* music and the chimes, and this hideous little room, and your clever whistling, whenever I look "You’re kind to-day," said Mr. Van Torp, after a moment’s debate as to whether be should say anything at “Am I? You mean that I used to be very disagreeable, don't you?" She smiled as she glanced at him. “I must have been, 1’in sure, for you used to frighten me ever so much. But I'm not in the least afraid of you now!" “Why should any one be afraid of me?** asked Van Torp, whose smile had been known to terrify Wall street when a “dorp" waa expected. Margaret laughed a little, without looking at him. "Tell me all about the Tartar girl," she said, instead of answering his question. Van Torp told her Baraka's his­ tory, as far as he knew it from Logotheti. “I never heard such an amusing set of stories as you are telling me to­ day," she said. “That particular one Is Logothetl's," he answered, "and he can probably tell you much more about the girl.” “Is she really very prettyF’ Marga­ ret asked. “Well," said Van lorp, quoting a saying of, his favorite great man. “for people who like that kind of thing, I should think that would be the kind of thing they’d like." The prima donna smiled. “Can you describe her?" she asked. “Did you ever read a fairy story about a mouse that could turn Into a tiger when it likedF' inquired the American in a tone of profound medi­ tation. as if he were contemplating a vision which Margaret could not see. “No," said she, “I never did." “I don't think I ever did, either. But there might be a fair/ story about that, mightn't there?" Margaret nodded, with an expression of dis­ pleased interest, and be went on: “Well, it describes Miss Barrack to a T. Yes, that’s what I call her. She’s put 'Barak* on her business card, whatever that means In a Christian language; but when 3 found out It was a girl, I christened her Miss Barrack. People have to have names jof some kind if you’re going to talk about them. But that’s a digression. Par­ don me. You'd like a descr'ptlon of the young person. I'm just thinking." “How did you find out she was a girlF' Margaret asked,, and her tone was suddenly hard. how did she strike you?” “Perfectly. You make it very clear. Go on, please." . "Her eyes—yes." Mr. Van Torp ap­ peared to be thinking again. “Well, there was her complexion, too.

Do you know ■ the color of Alderney cream when It’s ready to be skimmed?

Not more than one, I should think, See what I meant’ "Yes. She must be awfully pretty. Tell me more. His she nice hair? Even teeth t’ “I should think she had!” an­ swered Mr. Van Torp, with even more enthusiasm than he had shown yet. "They’re as small and even and white as if somebody had gone to work and carved them all around half a new billiard ball, not separate, you under­ stand, but all in one piece. Very pret­ ty mouth they make, with those rather broiled-salmon-colored lips she has, and a little chin that points up, as if she could hold her own. She can, too. Her hair? Well, you see, she's cut It short, to be a boy, but it's as thick as a beaver's fur, I should say, and pretty black. It’s a silky kind of hair, that looks alive. You know what I mean, I daresay. Some bru­ nettes’ hair looks coarse and dusky, like horsehair, but hers isn’t that kind, and it makes a sort of reflection in tbe sun, the way a young raven’s wing­ feathers do, If you understand.” “You’re describing a raving beauty, it seems to me." "Ob, no," said the American inno­ cently. "Now if our friend Griggs, the novelist were here, he'd find all the right words and things, but I can only tell /ou just what I saw.” “You tell it uncommonly well!” Margaret's face expressed anything but pleasure. “Is she tall?" “It’s hard to tell, in men's clothes. Three inches shorter than I am, may­ be. I'm a middle-sized man. I sup­ pose. I used to be five feet ten in my shoes. She may be'five feet seven, not more.” “But that’s tall for a woman.” "Is it?” Mr. Van Torp’s tone ex­ pressed an innocent indifference. “Yes. Has she nice hands?" "I didn't notice her hands. Oh. yes, I remember!” he exclaimed, suddenly correcting himself. "I did notice them. She held up that ruby to the light and I happened to look at her fingers. Small, well-shaped fingers, tapering nicely, but with a sort of flrm look about them that you don't often see tn a woman's hands. You've got IL too." "Have I?" Margaret looked down at her right hand. "But, of course, hers are smaller than mine,” she said. "Well, you see, orientals almost all have very small hands and feet—too small, I call them—little tiny feet like mice." Margaret's own were well-shaped, but by no means small. "The girl is in London, you say?" Her tone made a question of the state­ ment. "She was there two days ago. when I left At least, she had been to see me that very morning. Almost as soon as she was gone I went out. and [in the first shop I looked Into I met llx)gotheti.

Experience promotes effi­ ciency . • i Negative—Holding office for life destroys ambition, tends tpwurd the formation of cliques and ring*, for purposes of graft, and makes men grow careless and neglectful of their work. Positions are filled with men of the same political faith as the j party in power, and employes work for tne success of that party during campaigns to rhe detriment of goverment departments.

Qjitglde, the snow was falling In nebulous, transcendent beauty, clinging to the merry makers on their way lo Christmas eve festivities and swathing all in a filmy scarf of white. Chimes of distant bells proclaiming “Peace on earth, good will to men,” distilled their euphony across the glinting night—but Parrish, in the brooding shadows of his bachelor home, paid no heed. What did Christmas eve mean to him ’—to him whom the God of Plenty had given money and game, tbe plaudits of his fellows, and. all else loved by a man with but the frost-marks of time at his temple—and having given these, had passed to him the sparkling shell of the champagne of love only to dash it with a leer of derision at his feet? Of what use were the riches and the approval of the world? How could vain pomp and popular praise make up for the loss of that which good man craves—love, a _pure woman and the thousand Incentives that have their awakening beside the towbead's crib and in that holy hour when tousled curls lay lightly on a father’s breast* And all the Christmas eves to come!

How vividly it all came back to Firrlsh Morton now as he buried his face in his hands before the crackling em­ bers of the lingering fire! How Verona clung to him in her terror and sobbed for her mother, sobbed for her father and her brother! Was ever a child so bereft, so desolate? And he had taken her home with him and placed her in the hands of his capable housekeeper and as time passed and no record of her kin could be found, be had advanced her into his heart—Into the most sacred corner of his great hedrt—and watched her grow into a beautiful maturity, a full blown rose of womanhood with eyes like the depths of quiet brooks and tbe face of an angel, with red lips ruddier still and tantalisingly sweet! And then the blow fell! The reali­ zation that he loved her and that he. her protector, must preserve her against that love, for she was but 17 and he was 33. then—and he had promised her mother out in the New Mexican foothills that be would care for her and keep her from the pitfalls as best he could! Ab, bow lonely the place was when he had sent her away to school, to a distant school where he might not have to endure the pain of seeing her often—and how she had looked Into his eyes at parting with the half pleading, half understanding eyes of a young rabbit suddenly met face to face in some leafstrewn hollow In the autumn woods! He bad Kissed her in his old, pa­ ternal yrey *nd heart aggrieved had sent subtle glances of bewilder­ ment to flash and play within those orbs whose depths he dared not sound! And to avoid meeting her, be had gone on a distant mission, kept him­ self aloof for two years, while absence made the heart grow fonder and the memory of her thrilled him as tbe soft caressing fingers of some sweet inamorata thrills the tremulous strings of her guitar! And now upoa might detain her at Sussex, but she wished him * very merry Christmas. • wlabad that he might find his heart filled with joy at again being oeuBSth the old roof-tree, wished that, this Christmas might be the happiest of all the Christmases he had ever ex perienced. and lastly assured him that she was sending him a memento of the Mason, which she hoped he would cherish and k>Ve for her sake.

At the foot, she paused, made him a mock “courtesy" and bejd out her arms: “Oh, Par., dear old Par., I have brougbt you your Christmas present instead!" , The attitude, the look in her eyes, the irresistible enchantment of her beauty flooded him with impelling power. What did she mean? Was It herself she was offering? For a brief moment be stood swaying to the mighty impulse within him. Standing stupifled there, be remembered, as she bounded toward him!

She heard and turning as she was about to enter the yearning haven of bls eager arms, cried: "Ob, pardon me. Mr. Morton, let me introduce Marshall Marriott. He—" Suddenly the stairs went black be­ fore him. He realized now! She was bringing him a Christmas surprise, the man she loved, the— Somehow he managed to greet the stalwart young fellow with the frank eyes. In a maze of conflicting pain and surprise he did the duties of a host, and when Verona and her es­ cort had been shown to their rooms to dress, he slipped into the den and cast himself into the great arm chair before the pulseless coals of the fire­ place. "Lost! Lost!" kept ringing in his ears, and with a groan of anguish he once more burled bis face in his bands and gave way to a man’s grief. In vain he tried to reason 'with himself that it were better so. He should not have expected or even dared to think It might have been otherwise. He was too old for her. She was sunshine, he was the somber cloud—but, oh, how be loved her! And for the moment he had thought she meant to give herself. The misery of It all! The heartache of.it! Suddenly, behind him be heard a rustle, the frou-frou of a woman's gown, and over the side of his great cUalr a warm arm stole softly against his neck. "Oh, Par., what is it, dear? What have I done? What—’’ Instinctively In the darkness he felt the frightened rabbit look, the appeal­ ing gaze. Summoning all his reserve strength, he said, with scarcely a tremor in his voice: "Nothing dear, nothing io offend. I am glad—glad—for you, if he Is worthy. If—" "If—it—he—is worthy—oh, you goose. I see it al) now!" In a flash she threw her arms about his neck. Her face was close to his. How soft and warm and soothing her flesh was! "He—he is my brother, lost that day In the foothills of New Mexico. I—I have just found him.

Most women know what it Is to be short of a present on the last day or so before Christmas. If one has plen­ ty of money to go out and buy a gift this need cause little worry, otherwise quickly-made gifts are In order. One that can be turned out tn a few minutes Is one of the new hairpin cases. This Is made ot the fiber that is used in women's artificial pompa­ dours, only of a silvery white color. The Rose of Jericho. We are told that the rose of Jericho, which is also called Mary’s rose, sprang up along the path of the Holy Family after they left Bethlehem, and blossomed brightly wherever they-rest ed. This flower which bloomed at the birth ot Christ showed its sympathy by closing at his crucifixion, only to open again at his resurrection. A Christmas Thought.

S’-'hy Washington Irving £> F all the old festivals that ot [ Christmas awakens the strong- i cst and most heartfelt associations. There Is a tone of solemn and feeling sacred ___ _ that blends with our conviviality, and lifts the spirit to a state of hallowed and elevated enjoy­ ment. The services of the church about this season are extremely ten­ der and Inspiring; they dwell on the beautiful story of the origin of our faith, and the pastoral acenes that ac­ companied its announcement; they gradually Increase in fervor and pathos during the season of Advent, until they break forth in full jubilee on the morning that brought peace and good will to men. I do not know u grander effect of music on the moral feelings than to hear the full choir and the pealing organ performing a Christmas anthem in a cathedral, and filling every part of the vast pile with triumphant harmony. It Is a beautiful arrangement, also, derived from the days of yore, that this festival, which commemorates the announcement of the religion of peace and love, has been made the season for gathering together closer again those bands ot kindred hearts, which the cares and pleasures and sorrows of the world are continually Operating to cast loose; of calling back the children of a family, who have launched forth in life and wandered widely asunder, once more to assemble about the paternal hearth—that rally­ ing place of the affections, there to grow young and loving again among mementos of childhood. There is something in the very sea­ son of the year -that gives a charm to the festivity, of Christmas. At other times wo derive a great portion of our pleasurds from the mere beauties of nature. Our feelings sally forth and dissipate themselves over the sunny landscape, and we "live abroad and everywhere." Tbe song of the bird, tbe murmur of the stream, the breath­ ing fragrance of spring, tbe soft voluptuousness of summer, the gold­ en pomp of autumn; earth, with Its mantle of refreshing green, and heaven, with its deep, delicious blue and its cloudy magnificence, all fill us with mute but exquisite delight, and we revel in -the luxury of mere sensa­ tion. But in the depth of winter, when nature lies despoiled of every charm and wrapped In her shroud of J sheeted snow, we turn for our grati­ fications to moral sources. The dreArK ness and desolation of our landscape;! the short, gloomy days and darksoma! nights, while they circumscribe our1 wanderings, shut in our feelings also from rambling abroad, and make us more keenly disposed for the pleas­ ures of the social circle. Our thoughts are more concentrated; our friendly sympathies more aroused. We feei more sensibly the charm of each oth­ er’s society, and are brought more closely together by dependence on each other for enjoyment. A season when heart calling unto heart. The pitchy gloom without makes the heart dilate on entering tbe room filled with the glow and rarmth of the evening fire, The ruddy blase diffuses an artificial summer and sunshine through the room, aud light up each with a kindlier welcome. Where does the honest face of hospi­ tality expand into,a broader and more cordial smile—where Is the shy glance of love more .sweetly eloquent—than by the winter fireside? And, as the hollow blast of wintry wind rushes through the hall, clasps lhe distant door, whistles about the casement, and rumbles down the chimney, what can be more grateful than that feeling of sober and sheltered security with which we look around upon the com­ fortable chamber and the scene of do­ mestic hilarity? Amidst the general call to happi­ ness, the bustle of the spirits, and stir of the affections, which prevail at this period, what bosom can remain in­ sensible? It is, indeed, the season of regenerated feeling—the season for kindling not merely the fire of hospi­ tality in the hall, but the genial flame of charity In the heart Surely happiness Is reflective, like the light of heaven; and evary counte­ nance. bright with smiles and glow­ ing with innocent enjoyment is a mir­ ror transmitting to others the rays of a supreme and ever-shining benevo­ lence. He who can turn churlishly away from contemplating the felicity of his fellow-beings, and can alt down darkling and repining in his loneliness when all around is joyful, may havo his moments of strong excitement and selfish gratification, out be wants the genial and social sympathies which constIV te the charm of a merrg Christmas. �We are sure you will agree with us that the most appropriate gift you could give your boys and girls for Christinas is a book of deposit in our Savings Department Experience has taught us that as soon as a boy or girl learns that they have money in the bank placed to their credit drawing interest, it instils -within them a desire for saving, which is one of the greatest secrets to success in after years.

Sheldon last Satur­ day. a stroke of apoplexy rendering him unconscious and his death oc­ curring about four hours later. He was lumber inspector at the Lentz Table Co.’s factory, and was at work attending to his duties as usual, when about ten o’clock the sudden summons came. He was picked up unconscious bv his fellow workmen and taken to his home on South State street, op­ posite the Michigan Central station, where medical attention was given him and all possible was done In every way to revive him. but the ef­ forts were all Ln vain and he passed away about tWo o’clock without giv­ ing any sign of returning conscious­ ness. . Mr. Sheldon was 58 years of age, and leaves a widow and four children, three sons and one daughter. The children are W. H. H. Sheldon of Natrona, Pennsylvania, Mrs. R. S. Doyas of St. Paul, Minnesota, Mar­ vin and Fay, who lived at home. The eldest son came at once, upon receipt of the sad news, as did Mrs. Doyas, while the latter’s husband, who was traveling in North Dakota at the time, followed as soon as he received tne news. The funeral will be held at the Methodist church this afternoon at two o’clock, and will be conducted by Rev. F. L. Niles. The remains were laid to rest in Lakeview cemetery. Mr. Sheldon was a hard-working man, of a quiet, reserved disposition, and had many friends who will mourn his untimely demise. REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE. Our line of Xmas gifts contains something for all.

Sheldon Dies Four Hoars After Stroke of Apoplexy, With­ out Regaining Con* ■ Latest Acquisition to Nashville’s Business Enterprises Promises to be Valuable Addition. Xmas Suggestions « NUMBER 18 NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23, 1909 VOLUME XXXVII BOOKS A business proposition which has been under consideration for some time past culminated this week in the organization of a real estate exchange in the village. The new organization will be known as the Central Michigan Real Estate Exchange, and it will en­ gage in the real estate business alone, without dipping into insurance or any of the oilier side issues that are usual­ ly combined with a real estate agency. The members of the new firm are W. A. Quick, W. H. Burd and L. W. Fefghner, and those who know the members of the firm think that it will make a hustling organization. The new exchange will make a business of handling village and city property, as well as farm propertv, and they will have connections with several strong organizations at Grand Rapids, Bat­ tle Creek and other points. The ex­ change expects to open an office in the village within a few days. There is quite a demand now for farm* and village property, and the new exchange will endeavor to bring buyers and sellers together in a satis­ factory manner and render them all the aid in their power Jo close a satis­ factory deal. They invite all who desire to sell or exchange their.prop­ erty to list it with them, and they assure all a square deal. If you have properly you wish to dispose of, see some member of the firm and they will look after it to the best of their abil­ ity. If you wish to purchase either village or farm property, they will be glad to learn of your wishes and will endeavor to find for you just what will suit you. M. C. R. R. IS GENERUUS. Much has been said about corpora­ tions having no souls, but a little in­ cident which came under our notice this week tends to show that there are tender spots somewhere. It will be remembered that a little daughter of Ivan Warren, living in the east part of town, was struck by a Michigan Central train August 29, and so badly injured that for a Jong time her life was dispaired of. The railroad people were in no way to blame, as Mr. Warren’s people*’•villingly con­ cede. yet this week they sent Mr. Warren a check for 850, which will cover the doctor's bill. To say that Mr. Warren appreciates the com­ pany’s generosity would be putting it mildly. But better than all, the little one has fully recovered and is as bright and happy as ever. "We wisK our many custom­ ers and friends a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. VON W. FURNISS ICE COMPANY ORGANIZED. The Nashville Mutual Ice company was organized Monday night, the members of the company being Wen­ ger Bros., John Ackett, E. V. Bar­ ker and Von W. Furniss. They have leased the ice houses at Lake One and will put up at least enough ice to supply themselves during the coming season. Whether they will go into the business on a more extensive scale and supply other people has not yet been decided on. The officers of the company are Menno Wenger, presi­ dent; Von Furniss, secretary; E. V. Barker, treasurer. NASHVILLE NEWS CELEBRATES. The Nashville News comes out this week with a sixteen-page sheet, full of Santa Claus. A bright colored cover page with Santa filling the stockings of three sleeping children, four full page advertisements and a write-up of every business place in the village. The paper is a dandy and reflects much credit on the genial editor ’•Fike” (L. W. Feighner )—Jackson Patriot- price being $7,000, and the Ira Bald­ win farm of 80 acres, formerly owned by John Lake, south of the Kill farm, was sold to E. C. Airgood, a son of C. F., the price being $6,000. The new owners expect to take possession about the first of February. They re­ cently sold their farms near Urbana and decided to come to . Michigan to reside. Mr. Airgood, senior, express­ es himself very favorably to Michigan as compared to Indiana, in that the farmers appear more progressive and up-to-date, having more improve­ ments about their farms and oeem al­ together more progressive. We wel­ come the new-comert and hope they will have no reason to change their opinion of Barry county after mak­ ing their home here. MORPHINE HASTENED DEATH. Walter Mape*. Suffering from Ap- Trouble*. Walter Mapes, who suffered an at­ tack of apoplexy several weeks ago, died at bls home southwest of the village Tuesday morning from the ef­ fects of a dose of morphine. He had asked that the array of medicines be arranged on the dresser across from his bed so that he could see them, and as he was supposed to be unable to leave his bed his wish was humored, but subsequent events proved that he was deceiving them, as during the ab­ sence of the nurse from the room he secured, th® morphine bottle and hid It under his pillow, later taking ad­ vantage of another opportunity to swallow a large quantity of the drug. Later, when his son Charles entered the room. he handed the bottle to him from under the pillow, tailing Charles he could “put it away now as I am done for." A physician was ai once summoned from Bellevue, but the sick man set his teeth and refused to allow the doctor to pump the drug out of his stomach or to administer antidotes, and all their efforts to force him to open his jaws were una­ vailing and he passed away at about 11 o’clock. The funeral services will be held at the Maple Grove M. E. church Friday at 12 o’clock. Mr. Mapes was an old resident of Maple Grove township and leaves many friends who sincerely regret his demise. He was a man of consider­ able means, a successful farmer, and has always been an active and exem­ plary citizen. TOLD HIM A FE* THINGS.

The dapper little drum­ mer said he was not hungry and a cup of coffee and some hot cakes would do. OBITUARY. Ina Isabel Rodebaugh was born in Berlin township, Ionia county, Mich­ igan, April 22, 1885, and departed this life December 15, 1909, aged 24 years, 7 months. 24 days. She be­ came the wife of Don Everett, June 28, 1905, and resided at their home in Castleton township until October 20, 1909, when she being too ill to con­ tinue her work, went for a rest and visit to the home of her mother in Maple Grove, fully expecting to re­ turn to her own home and take up her household duties, but such was not to be, as disease had fastened itself up­ on her frail form and she sank peace­ fully to rest, fully prepared to meet her God, expressing herself as happy in Christ, ready to do his will and anxious to help others to a realization of God’s love and care. A short time before the end she sang her favorite song, "Jesus Lover of My Soul,” and her face lightened up and she was happy in the expecta­ tion of meeting her Saviour, with the father who had gone before, there to await the»coming of her loved ones, husband, mother and brother.

"He wants "You dian*t whistle It out of tune,” Margaret answered, to Stamp’s great but well-concealed astonishment. "I know better.

"If nothing else can be had you shall have this room. I can do without It" "You’re kindness itself; but I couldn’t do that." said Mr. Van Torp. "Bring our things to this hotel, any­ way, Stemp, and we’ll see what hap­ pens.” Stemp disappeared at once, and his master turned‘to Margaret again. "Nothing will Induce me to put you to such Inconvenience,” he said, and his tone was quite as decided as hen. had been.

"That’s nice,” Mrs. Rushmore an­ swered with gravity, and "as she es­ tablished herself on the sofa she In­ dicated a chair not far from her. •It was only proper that Margaret should always speak of her with af­ fection and gratitude. Mr. Van Torp set down on the chair to which she had directed rather than invited him; and he prepared to be bored to the full extent of the bearable. "1 had the pleasure of knowing Mr. Rushmore.” he said fa tbe proper tone of mournfully retrospective ad­ miration. "He was sincerely lamented by all our business men." “He was,” assented the widow, as she would have said amen in church. fa the right place, and with much the same solemn intonation. . There was a moment's pause, dur­ ing which the millionaire was trying to think of something else she might like to hear, for she was Margaret’s friend, and he wished to make a good impression. He was therefore not pre­ pared to hear her speak again before he did, and much less for the subject of conversation she introduced at once. "You know our friend, Mons. Logo­ theti, I bellevet’ she inquired sud­ denly. “Why, certainly," answered Van Torp, brightening at once at the men­ tion of his rival, and at once also putting on his moral armor of cau-. tlon. “I know him quite well" "Indeed?

I've known any as well as Mr. Logotheti.” "You may think it strange that I should ask you about him at our first meeting," said the good lady, “but I’m an American, and I cannot help feeling that a fellow-countrytaan’s opinion of a foreigner is very valu­ able. You are. I understand, an old friend of Miss Donne's, (though I have not had the pleasure of meeting you before, and you have probably heard that she has made up her mind to marry Mons. Logotheti.

I have the gravest apprehensions, Mr. Van Torp" "Have you, really?" asked the mil­ lionaire, with caution, but sympa­ thetically. "I wonder why!" "A Greek!1" said -- -Mrs. • Rushmore, sadly. "Think of a Greek!" Mr. Van Torp, who was not without a sense of humor, was inclined to an­ swer that, in fact he was thinking of a Greek at that very moment But he abstained. "There are Greeks and Greeks, Mrs. Rushmore,” he answered wisely. "That is true,” answered the lady, "but < should like your opinion, as one of our most prominent men of business—as one who, if I may say so, has of late triumphantly established his claim to respect” Mr. Van Torp bowed and waved his hand in ac­ knowledgment of this high praise. *T should like your opinion about this— er—this Greek gentleman whom my young friend insists upon marrying." "Really, Mrs. Rushmore—” "Because if I thought there was un­ happiness in store for her I would save her, if I had to marry the man myself!" * Mr. Van Torp wondered how she would accomplish such a feat "Indeed?” he said very gravely. "I mean it," answered Mrs. Rush­ more. There was a moment's silence, dur­ ing which Mr. Van Torp revolve’d something In his always active brain, while Mrs. Rushmore looked at him as if she expected that he would doubt her determination to drag Lo­ gotheti to the matrimonial altar and marry him by sheer strength, rather than let Margaret be his unhappy bride. But Mr. Van Torp said some­ thing quite different "May I speak quite frankly, though we hardly know each other?" he aaked.

For the Anglo-Saxon notion of the German Christmas is drawn from those child­ hood hours spent over Hans Andersen and Grimm, and the sight of a Christ­ mas tree brings io mind the wood-cut­ ter tramping home through the snow laden forest, trailing behind him the fir tree for his family Christmas cel­ ebration, while, in the towns, the black quadrangle of the venerable market place is picked out in lights blazing on the trees in the windows of the gabled bouses. Fifty years ago, before the young German giant had awakened from the sleep of centuries, this idea of the peaceful German Christmas wgs cor­ rect, the Berlin correspondent of the New York Evening Post says. But if one of the burghers of old Berlin, re­ turning from making ' his Christmas purchases on Christmas eve, were to be transplanted Into the roaring hub of empire which bls haupstadt has become In the year of grace, 1909, the good man would probably expire on the spot Fifty years ago, when Berlin was a dirty, unpretentious, provincial town, with ill-lighted, ill-paved streets, with a population renowned even In those i days for its surly manners and un­ couthness. and with the iron hand of militarism unchecked over it all, the Christmas festival was the tranquil celebration of which one has read. In the Lustgarten, before the «castle, a Christmas fair was annually estab­ lished. which the king and royal fam­ ily used to visit to buy jumping jacks and gingerbread for the palace Christ­ mas trees, like any other German family. The Lustgarten fair has passed away, the king of Prussia* has become German emperor, Berlin has developed into a fair and beautiful city, and all that remains of the Christmas of once upon a time is the spirit—indeed, a precious inheritance, that still holds the branches of the myriads of Christmas trees which ■ rich and poor alike set up ini their houses on the eye of the feast Christmas Booms Trade.

NASHVILLE LUMBER CO. $1.00 per Ark Yovr Grocer for MO-KA.J FOX SALE BY COLIN One thousand nine hundred and nine years ago, in the days of tbe mighty Herod, there lay upon a hill­ side not far from Bethlehem, one Ben Joseph, the shepherd, son of Joseph of Jeffa. Ben Joseph was almost 18 now, and had been a shepherd nearly as long as he could remember. Practlcally all his life’ he had strolled over the hillsides with his charges throughout the days, and when night had come had laid himself down to sleep among them with a shrepskln for his couch and a sheepskin tor his mantle, And in those long years of loneliness ho had grown strong of body and wild of spirit, knowing little of faith, hope or charity anti caring less; believing only in the law of recompense and that, an eye was fair exchange tor an eye and a tooth tor a tooth. For he who tends sheep among the barren hills inust graze them seven days a week, while as tor the soul it can always starve a little while longer and no barm done. So as time passed. while his sheep grew plentiful and fat, his soul grew small and lean and was seldom. thought of, for in his Idle hours by day he did nothing but play uqon his reed pipe, while in the early hours of night after the sheep had been gathered together be lay-upon his back and looked up at ths stars until the principal ones were as familiar to bls eyes as were the bell wethers of his flock. True, he knew almost nothing about the sparkling bodies of space and gave little thought as to how they came to be there, yet for all that he could shut his eyes and picture the constellations before his mind as most boys can the faces of their playmates. This was because he could not read, had do one to talk to and was hard pressed tor means by which to occupy his brain when the darkness fell. Now while Ben Joseph was silent and rather surly of face, he was onlj inclined to be wicked when aroused. At those times, however, he was apt to be as savage and merciless as a wolf, for It was then that the blood lust burned hot in his throat. And it happened that upon the day of which we are speaking he was nursing a great rage, tor while he bad been sleeping a few nights before some enemy bad crept into bls flock and cut the throats of three of his finest ewes. And this deed meant that very bad times were Ln store tor Ben Joseph indeed, for when bls master came to count the sheep and found the three missing, Ben Joseph knew that he would be beaten with a staff until he could scarcely hobble, and even worse than that, he would be charged with their value; a sum which It would take him months of watching to repay. And, furthermore, he knew wh» had committed the das­ tardly crime. It was none other than Ben Hadad. who herded his flock in the hills to the westward and with whom Ben Jos?ph had quarreled and fought a year before, and who now bad come prowling across hill and valley in tbe dark of the moon tor hisrevenge, and that Ben Joseph might be soundly beaten in payment for the whipping which he himself had re­ ceived. In his haste the marauder had dropped the red stone which he al­ ways wore as a charm, and Ben Jo­ seph picking it up among the dead sheep had Instantly known to whom it belonged, and at that knowledge the hot blood taste had arisen strong in his throat and hate for his enemy set his blood on fire. Muttering he had sworn to himself that he should have his revenge. And on this night he was formulat­ ing his plans. If Den Hadad could creep upon him In the middle of the night and kill his sheep, then certain­ ly he could creep upon Ben Hadad and kill him. For were not his feet as light and bls ears as keen as those of any man? And having put his foe out of the way he could take three of his ewes and bring them back to his own flock to replace the dead ones, and in this way at one stroke rid. himself of a dangerous enemy and escape the beating and loss of wages that he knew otherwise must be his. Clearly It was the only thing to do. and arts­ Ing In the early darkness he felt of the edge of his knife and finding it plenty keen enough he seized his crook and went loping off among the hills towards where be knew his en­ emy could be found. It was a long Journey, but he traveled fast, and when midnight had come he had marked the fold, while near by it tn his rough shelter of skins he could hear the steady breathing of the un­ suspicious man whom be sought. And at that token of the other's helpless­ ness his eyes took on tbe glitter of a wild beast's, and with his knife held firmly he crept onward to where the sleeping one lay behind his screen. 7. MUNRO . " Beneath the starlight be saw the i recumbent form lying atlll and defenaeleas. f and with a last wriggle and 1leap he landed fairly upon it, the fin­ Igers of one hand fastened In the tthroat and his blade held high. And 1Ben Hadad, awaking from bis slum­ 1ber, saw death kneeling upon his Ibreast, and realizing his helplessness 1he writbed a little as he strove to <draw his throttled breath. Ben Jo­ seph t having the other completely at 1his mercy loosened his clutch so that tthe gripped one could breathe a trifle, 1for he wished to torment him for a jperiod before be let the blow fall. “I have come to kill you, Ben Ha­ <dad,” he said .coldly. The man be­ ineath him shook like a wind-thrumi “Why should you wish to kill me? 1I have never done you wrong and you <once whipped me," he pleaded. [His <captor laughed sharply. “You He, and tor lying I shall let jyou feel tbe tooth of my knife before ]you feel its full bite," he returned as lbe pricked his captive until the latter tsquirmed again. “And now," he went <on. "you shall die as my sheep died iand be of less value afterwards than 1 they were. For at least their skins ;are worth something and their flesh ,was wholesome, while you dead will 1be even more worthless than living." ; Ben Hadad's eyes grew wild and his ।face pale at the threat as he made a ।final appeal. “At least you will let me pray to the । stars before I die." he plezuled. and ;Ben Joseph smiled grimly and said ithat he might spend one minute in ।that useless way. And as Ben Hadad. i beginning to mutter his last words, turned his despairing gaze towards ।the eastern heavens, the one who sat 'upon his breast and watched him closely In his hate, suddenly saw the < <eyes below him grow great with won­ ider while the distorted face smoothed iand became soft as a child's. Greatly Iamazed at the wonderful transforma­ ।tion he turned bls eyes upward as the <other had done, and as he did so he gave a great gasp, his Angers loos­ । <ened and he sat staring up into the inight For far to the eastward there ishone a new star in the firmament isuch a star as tbe world had never be­ :fore seen; lustrous, pure white, shin­ Iing with a soft brilliancy beyond com­ ;pare; the star of Bethlehem.in all its ;glory as it hung over the manger of the new born Christ the redeemer o? the soul of man. And as he gazed transfixed by this miracle a wonderful and subtile ।change came over the hard heart of Ben Joseph. From out of it his wrath fled like a scourged evil, thing; the ooais of hate that bad burned therein turned to ashes and into their place istole a softness such as he had never felt before. He shuddered, threw bls knife into the night and getting upon his feet held out his band. “Arise, Ben Hadad. I leave you in peace," he said gently. Full of wonderment the released one arose and together the two stood star­ ing at the glowing marvel, all fear and hate vanished. Then Ben Hadad spoke: "I murdered your sheep because I hated you. and in return you spared my life. Why did you do so?" Ben Joseph shook bis head as much puz­ zled as was the other. “That I do not know. I only know that I hate you no longer. I even seem to care for you." Ben Hadad laid his band upon the other’s shoulder. “Al«o my heart has grown soft You shall take three of my best sheep in the place of the slain ones and we will be friends from this night on." His companion nodded. “We will be as brothers throughout our lives. I will come tor the sheep another day. bringing you a present Until then peace be with you." Into the darkness he passed, his eyes still fastened upon the eastern miracle, a song of happiness arising from his heart For though Ben Joseph knew it not, the son of God had come to earth and already the Influence of bis gentle spirit was wafting like the night breeze throughout the land, soothing tbe breast of man as the night breeze soothed his cheeks.

U:1-1X Goldpn Text—And thou shall call bi* name Jesus, fof he shall save Ida people from their sins.—Matt i;2L Verse 1—Where is Bethlehem, ths birth place of Jesus ? Where wrs the home of Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus, and how did It happen that they were at Beth­ lehem at this time? What was the probable nationality of these “wise mear* Verse 2—Is there any evidence, and If so what is it, which indicates that God. in past ages, has revealed him­ self to other peoples than those ot Jewish origin? > Give your own idea of this star that the wise men saw, which indicated to them that a Jewish king had beea born; was it objective or only sub­ jective? Were tbe wise men right in thsta opinion, that Jesus was “tho King ot the Jews,” as they were in the fact of his birth? Verse 3—What is the evidence foe or against the idea that it was God's original intention for Jesus to be ths literal K'ug of the Jews, as the wiss men stated, and as Herod feared? Why should Herod'and "all Jerusa^ • lem" be troubled at the announcement of the birth of a Jewish King? Verses 4-6—What prophet is hero referred to, and where in the Bibki did these priests and scribes quota from? Did the prophet they quoted from, and did these priests and scribes think that the expected Christ was ta be an earthly King? Why? Verse 7.—What Is it which makea diligent study, of a worthy subject either noble or ignoble? - Verse 8—How would you describe a man with motive of Herod, when he sent these wise men off on their mis­ sion of finding Jesus? What, if any, reason Is there to be­ lieve that there are those to-day who attend church, and thus pretend they are earnestly seeking Jesus, who haro practically the same motive as Herod, had? Verse 9.—If a man today would sea the Christ, what “star" does be need to follow to be sure of being led to him? Give your reason for your idea whe­ ther it is to the favored few only that God sends a star or its equivalent, pointing to whore Jesus may be found, or are all men similarly treated? Verse 10—Mention acme things which always produce Joy, and then describe that which produces the greatest joy to mortals known? (Thm question must be answered In writing by members of the club.) Verse 11.—What is tbe ground foe certainty tor the statement that those who really seek Jesus always find him? What are the emotions ehich are stirred, the motives which are formed, and the deeds which are done by everyone who really seeks and finds Jesus? Verse 12.—Is there any liability that those who live In the presence of Je­ sus, will ever be duped into betraying Him or his cause? Is tbe day of the supernatural guid­ ance of God’s children, past, or is there reason to believe that it is aa operative ar ever? Lesson tor Sunday, January 2, 1910. —John the Forerunner of Jesus.

Considerable damage was done to the stock of goods and residence above by fire, smoke and water, which loss will probably be covered by insurance.—Charlotte Tribune; About forty of the friends of Mrs. Bert Giddings gave her a surprise Tuesday evening, the occasion being her birthday. The affair was planned and neatly carried out by Mr, Gid­ dings, who prepared the supper, and all of those who were present can tes­ tify to- his culinary skill; The eve­ ning was pleasantly spent in games and conversation, and the party broke up at a late hour, with many congratulations to Mrs. Giddings and good wishes for many happy returns of tbe day. She was the recipient of a number of beautiful gifts. * Rattlesnake venOn, , scientifically termed “crotalin,” is a new remedy that is curing cases of consumption, and one which may receive the 8100,000 prize offered by a Yale alum­ nus for a cure for the white plague, in the opinion of noted physicians. The cough and expectoration, the two very harassing features in every- case of phthisis, almost. without exception readily yield to the action of this drug, whether administered sub­ cutaneously or internally, or both. The patient has a decided increase in strength from the very beginning of tbe treatment. This has been so evi­ dent and so constent that it seemed almost anomalous in the absence of an increase of flesh. Tbe News Is in receipt of a copy of a beautiful pamphlet issued by tbe Albany Commencal club of Albany, Oregon, describing the attractions of tbe town of Albany, which has been christened the -‘Hub of the Willamette Valley.” The pamphlet was sent with the compliments of Wallace R. Struble, who will be remembered by many Nashville people as an evange­ list who assisted in conducting a series of revival meetings at the Methodist chnrch in this village a number of years ago. Mr. Struble is now manager of the Albany Commer­ cial club. The pamphlet is a splen­ did example of the printing art, is handsome)v illustrated, and impresses one with the fact that tbe Willamette valley is one of the garden spots of the world, as indeed it is. RETROSPECTION. William Sutton; whom ----------have spoken of as locating in Maple Grove and marrying Sophronia Lapham in 1838, with his wife, went to Battle Creek, living with his parents during that winter. Richard McOmber, . ar­ riving at this time and finding the Sutton shanty uninhabited, took pos­ session. erecting for themselves a house during the winter. With Mr. McOmber came four sons and one daughter, which added materially to the social element of the little settle­ ment. Of this family. Pliny, now a resident of Nashville, is the only one still living, he having by many year'-- passed the three score and ten allotted to humanity. In the spring of 1838 McOmber sowed and planted four acres, the work being done with a hoe. In the fall their wheat was also hoed in, no other implement being available among the stumps and logs. This brings Richard McOmber the fourth pioneer in order of arrival in Maple Grove township. He came frtjm Wayne county. N. Y.. with a wagon and team to Buffalo, then crossed the lake to Toledo and from there again traveled by wagon to the locality above mentioned. Cncle Richard, as we familiarly called him, was more than ordinarily well informed upon Emoral topics and a Quaker by faith. o died in 1868 at the home of a son in Baltimore. Pliny, after his mar­ riage to Miss Emily Sanford in 1854, bought the old home farm and resided there for many years afterward. Tbe next in order was John Dean. He becoming dissatisfied, sold u> Daniel Jackson, a well known and peculiar character, who lived here for many years, the “little brown jug" being his sole companion. Abram S. Quick, accompanied by Abel and Daniel Baldwin, arrived in 1839 and erected a saw mill on section 26, upon land owned by John Mott, a Quaker living in Jackson county, with whom the mill was to be worked on shares. This was the pioneer saw mill of Maple Grove, and for two years was carried on by Quick Baldwin in partnership. At that time Quick located on 160 acres of land on section J4, the Baldwins retaining the mill, this property being weil known throughout the county as tbe Quaker mil), and to this day a mill erected upon the site of the old one is in suc­ cessful operation. At about this time Quick became suddenly aware that it was not good for man to be alone and married Miss R. R. Lapham, a daughter of the aforesaid Quaker minister. This mar­ riage was solemnized according to the Quaker discipline. The wedding out­ fit of this daughter was somewhat more elaborate than the first. The gown was cambric, a yard wide with a figure as large as one’s hand, of bright green, yellow, white, blue and purple, patent leather shoes, and a neighbor who had recently moved here, loaned her a three-cornered white muslin kerchief, which was worn over the shoulders, the ends crossed in front, and a real lace cap. Her father did not approve of this last named article, there being too much fullness in the border to be consistent with the Quaker customs. Pbcoe No. To the Christmas Shopper Inquire of hardware.

FEAR WAR BETWEEN RACES One Killed. Four injured In Battle at Magnolia—Negro Is Burned to Death. F Magnolia, Ala., Dec. 21.—Magnolia Is quiet, following a day of Intense ex­ citement, with much bitter feeling manifested between whites and blacks ot this community. Ernest Slade, one of four white men shot by Clinton Montgomery, a desperate negro, is fatally injured and his death, expected at any time, may serve to further fan the flame of race hatred. Clinton Montgomery's charred body Iles in the ruins of a small negro hut near the town as the result ot a visit by a posse of citizens. Brister and Shelly Montgomery, brothers of the dead negro, barely escaped lynching after the sheriff of Marengo county had captured them and was taking them to jail. Search is being continued for Will Montgomery, another of the four brothers, whose alleged murder late Saturday night of Algernon Lewis, a young white man, precipitated the trouble. • Practically every negro resident of Magnolia left here. The whites are well armed. him. Mr. Stead occupied the entire day in presenting his arguments. Uses Strong Language. provision of The suit is based on the charter granted the road in 1851. It was given large tracts of public lands on the charter provision that it receipts, plus the state tax and enough extra to bring the total up to seven per cent, of the total gross receipts. Attorney General Stead spared no language In charging that the railroad had defrauded the state by a thousand devices ever since 1877, when it bought new lines in which the state has no claim to a partnership/basis. He charged that every possible trick of high finance was used* to divert funds from the original charter lines, on which seven per cent must be paid, to the non-chartc-r lines, which do not come under the seven per cent assess­ ment agreement _ Charges 110,000,000 Rebates. He made the startling charge that rebates allowed by the Illinois Central since 1877 amount to the total of >10,000,000. The grand total of receipts which the road dishonestly concealed, Mr. Stead stated, was 8214,000,000, de­ frauding the state out of seven per cent, or 115,000,000. The suit is up on appeal from Judge Stough's' decision on demurrer. INDICT MORE SUGAR MEN Federal Grand Jury Return Number of Indictments Against Arbuckle Em* ployes in Sugar Frauds.

FURNISS The News wishes all of the people of Nashville and vicinity, and its subscribers and readers everywhere, a Happy New Year. We hope that the coming year will bring to all of you more of genuine good cheer and hap­ piness, more material comfort and pleasure, more the joy of living, than any previous year of your existence. May it have less of disaster and woe*, less of discontent and sorrow, less of envy and bitterness than any other. And when the year of IMO sees its closing.hours, may we all realize that it was a good year for us to have oc­ cupied the world. Let us here in Nashville each re­ solve to do all in our power that this may come true. Let us realize that life in Nashville, to appropriate De­ troit’s slogan, “is worth living.’’ And this is so much more true of a small town like Nashville than it is of a big town like Detroit. Possibly you don’t realize this, but it is never­ theless true. A visit to a big town for a few days ora week, to visit the shops and stores, the play houses, the parks and the various attractions, has in it much pleasure. But for a home, where one is to live his life and rear his brood, a town like Nashville hits it over a big city in so many ways that there is no room for areumont Life in the metropolis is too hurried, too fast, too artificial. The pace is too swift. It is the life of the victim of stimulants. The homes which are the real homes are those of the small town and the country. The big town is the home of avarice and greed, where no one knows his neighbor or wants to, where eacn one plays his game with no object In sight but the mighty dollar. The village and the country home is the home of peace and contentment, where the various members of the family have time and opportunity to getacqualnted with each other, where every man knows his neighbor, and where a man is respect­ ed for his intelligence and his integri­ ty. without regard to the size of his pile or whether he rides in a wheel­ barrow or an automobile. The country is the home of the bright eye and the clear complexion, the brow without furrows and the heart without fear. If you live in the village or country, for pity’s.sake don’t envy your friend in the city, if you only realized how much, deep down in his heart, the cliff-dweller of the city, the trolley­ dodger. he of the yellow skin and the puffs under his eyes, envies you the pure air, the clean surroundings and above all the peace and contentment of your urban home, you would pity him and be more than ever contented with the fate that cast your lot near to nature's heart. And in many ways are we of Nash­ ville to be envied. ' If anv people on the face of this terrestriaf ball should be at peace with themselves and with the world at large, we should be that people. We live in the best little town in the best state in the best country in the best world that we know anything about. Why shouldn’t we be contented and happy? No one is trying to cut our Lieart out. We have plenty to eat, plenty to wear, and we ail have the riches of friendship, home and loved ones. We know we will not starve. There is plenty of work for all who want to work and are able. To be sure, we have our poor and un­ fortunate, but none who suffer the pangs of cold and hunger unless their pride hides their misfortune. There Is plenty and to spare. We have splendid schools. We have churches enough to suit everybody. We havecomfortable.homes. We have splendid tire protection. We have sewerage. We have electric lights and power. We have many things which towns the size of Nashville do not us­ ually have. But what is better than all else, we have a clean community, a community of homes and kindred ties,a community of cheerful,happy and contented people. If you think there is much more on earth which is worth having you are on the wrong track. . And now for the coming year, let us resolve to be even more contented with our lot and our home. Let us get together ana keep together. Let us not knock each one the other, but let us help boost, each one what he can. Let us dwell together in unity, for of such is the kingdom of heaven on earth. Let us discountenance sland­ er and hypocrisy, let us not listen to tales of the gossip and the scandal­ monger, for of such is the kingdom of bell on earth. Let us believe good of every one rather than evil, for most of us contain more good than evil, and a man will generally right himself if he makes a mistake if he be given an opportunity. Let us believe in and practice the gospel of good-will in our every-day life, let us extend the help­ ing band to our friend and neighbor, let brotherhood and community of interests be the watchword at home, in business and on the streets, let good cheer and friendliness drive the wrink­ les from your brow as well as from the brow of him you meet, live the gospel of contentment with your lot, and we shall make o' IMO fully and truly a Happy New Year. Mrs. Kate Jacobs and her former husband, Daniel Jacobs, were re­ united in marriage at the borne of the bride on Sherman street, Thursday afternoon at half past two o’clock, by Rev. Walter S. Reed. They have been separated for thirty-two years, Mr. Jacobs having been absent from this part of the country the greater portion of that time. They have now decided to end their remaining days together, and have moved out on the Ed. Palmer farm, north of the village, where they will make their home. W. LeRoy Perkins is home from LOCAL NEWS.

I won’t give up the hope of making you marry me while you’re alive and I am, not if you're an old woman, and I’ll put up all I have In the game, includ­ ing my own life and other people’s, if it comes to that. Amen." Margaret bent her head a little and was silent ' "Ndw you know why I won’t prom­ ise what you asked,” said Van Torp in conclusion. “You have no right to speak like that” she said rather weakly, after a moment "Perhaps not I don’t know. But I consider that you have a right to know the truth, and that's enough for me. It's not as If Td made up my mind to steal your ewe-lamb fronryou and put myself In its place. Logo­ theti is not any sort of a ewe-lamb. He’s a man, he’s got plenty of strength and determination, he’s got plenty of money—even what I choose to call plenty. He says he cares for you. All right. So do I. He says he'll marry you. I say that I will. All right again. You’re the prize put up for the best of two fighting men. You’re not the first woman in history who’s been fought for, buL by all that's holy, there never was one better worth, not Helen of Troy herself!” The last few words came with a sort of stormy rush, and he turned round suddenly, and stood with his back against the gate, thrusting his hands deep into his coat-pockets, per­ haps with the Idea of keeping them quiet; but he did not come any near­ er to herk and she felt she was per­ fectly safe, and that a much deeper and more lasting power had hold of him than any mere passionate longing to take her in his arms and press his Iron lips on hers against her will. Margaret was not angry; she was hardly displeased, but she was really at a loss what to say, and she said the first sensible thing that suggested itself and that was approximately true. *Tm sorry you have told me all this. We might have spent these next two days very pleasantly together. Oh. I’m not pretending what I don’t feel! It’s impossible for a woman like me, who can still be fred, not to be flaUefed when such a man as you cares for her in earnest, and says the things you have. But, on the oth­ er hand, I'm engaged to be married to another man. and It would not be loyal of me to let you make love to "I don't mean to.” said Van Torp stoutly. "It won’t be necessary. If I never spoke again you wouldn’t for­ get what I’ve told you—ever! Why should I say It again? I don't want to. until you can say as much to me. If It’s time to go. hitch the lead to my collar and take ms home! I’ll follow spaniel anyyou as quietly as where!" "And what would happen if I told you not to follow me, but to go home and lie down in your kennel?" She laughed low as she moved away from the gate. “I’m not sure,” answered Van Torp. “Don’t" The last word was not spoken at all with an accent of warning, but it was not said in a begging tone either. Margaret's short laugh followed in­ stantly. “You said just now that you would not say over again any of those things you have told me to-night Do you mean that?’’ “Then please promise that you won’t That's all I ask if you are go­ ing to spend the next two days here, and if I am to let you see me.” "I promise.” Van Torp answered, without hesitation. She allowed herself the illusion that she had both done the right thing and also taken the position of com­ mand; and he, standing beside her, allowed himself to smile at the futili­ ty of what she was requiring of him with so much earnestness, for little had apoken that night would come than that he could not hope at pres­ ent.

Mrs. Bronson was saying something about It the other day.” "All right," nodded Stokes, "but I was just about to say that I had tick­ ets .for the theater to-morrow nlgfaj^ So don't make any other plans for then.” Stokes remarked that he'd had a rather strenuous day when he got home the next evening. After supper he lay down on the lounge. "Better be getting ready if we want to be at the theater on time,” sug­ gested Mrs. Stokes shortly after seven o’clock. "Hugh.” grunted Stokes, with a yawn, "this was the night wo were go­ ing to the show, isn’t it? Well, be get­ ting your things on, and I’ll be ready when you are." "Somebody was telling me.” remark­ ed Stokes, as they were leaving the fiat, "that the show isn't so much good after all. I’m not as keen about it as I was." Then they went on and waited tor the car. After dinner, one week later, Stokes put on his slippers, got into an old lounging coat and leaned back in the big chair with a satisfied expression while he looked over the paper. Then, having finished the paper, he went over and got a couple of bls pipes from off the center table and started to clean them up. "This always used to be my favorite smoke—this pipe right here," he confided to Mrs. Stokes, "but it’s got so caked.up lately it’ll scarcely draw nt all. Now’s a good time to clean it up. Then after I get through that I've got n magazine there with a couple of cracking good stories I want tp read to you." “You’ll scarcely have time to do all that, will you?” inquired Mrs. Stokes, smiling.* "You know this is the night of the Bronson’s musicale.

DJk> It is an old-fashioned, eight-day clock, and it stands on a shelf in the kitchen of the apartment, between the dumb-waiter and ’the ice chest Unused to such humble surround­ ings, for It had once graced a gentle­ man’s library, the old clock has con­ sistently and steadfastly refused to recognize its plebeian neighbors by striking the hours. A faint click, when the minute hand has completed its cir­ cuit, is the only audible indication of the flight of time. But last Sunday the clock had the most serioua shock of Its existence, a shock that for a time unbalanced its equilibrium to such an extent that— but the story ia progressing too rap­ idly. The timepiece’s mistress had bought, about ten days before, a gal­ lon of cider, delivered to her by the grocer in a heavy glass water bottle. Finding after a time that the cider was fermenting, she took the bottle from the lee chest and set it on the window sill, where it stood safely. And now ensues tragedy. Some time after nine o’clock on Sun­ day evening, the alienee of the house was broken by a report that might have come from the heaviest of fowl­ ing pieces, followed by the crash of glass falling into the court below. An excited rush by a startled family, a whisking on of electric lights, and a kitchen floor deluged with bard cider, and covered with splintered glass, was revealed. The bottle had exploded, breaking two empty milk bottles in Its crash, and blowing out the window pane. No one thought of the did clock, then, but later, when the kitchen floor had been mopped and swept, and the excited and weary family had retired, the aged timepiece’s shattered nerves gave way. The calm composure of months was broken. It was midnight. Click went the old clock. And then, one, two, three—on to 12 swept the strokes. Thirteen, 14, 15—was it never going to stfp? The mistress of the house turned' wearily In her first sleep, and thought she was dreaming. Half an hour later, she roused as the master of the house tiptoed in, stifling Irritated mirth. "I waited till the blamed thing struck 1.002, and then I couldn't stand it any longer. You’ll find your apron stuffed Into the case to-morrow*. Even taking off the pendulum didn’t do any, good.” And then he turned lu. The next morning they speculated over the breakfast toast and coffee as to how many times the old clock would have atruck had it been permitted to express all of its pent-up emotion; but it has been haughty and hasn’t spoken since.

John The Forerunner of Jesus. — Matt. IL': 1-1L Golden Text—The voice of one cry­ ing in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his path* straight. Matt Ul:8. Verse 1—What were the days re­ ferred to in verse one? What are the facta concerning John the Baptist bls parents, the time and •^iiace of his birth, his early training, ^^commencement of bis ministry, hia , characteristics, and thd nature of his preaching? Where and what was the wilderness of Judea? Verse 2—What did John want the people to do when he urged them to repent? Why was it then, and why is it now. Impossible for any person to enjoy the favor of God without repentance? What did John mean by saying “Tha Kingdom of Heaven is at hand?” Haa the kingdom of heaven been oa> tablished on earth, and if so, what is that kingdom, and who are its eitLtens? Verse 3—What did Esaias (Isaiah) foretell concerning John, and where ia the papsago tc be found? In what sense did John prepare the way for Jesus? Verse 4—Why did John dress in such a plain way and eat such simple food? ' To what extent should good people, to-day, take John for an example to the matter of food and clothing? , To what extent does God care as to what we eat. and what we wear? If all you know -of a man is that be Is fastidious in the matter of dress, and an epicure in hls~food, how woolfi you rat© him as to personal piety? Can men work as hard, think as clearly and accomplish as much, os more, in all departments of life on a vegetable, as on a meat diet? Verses 5-6—How do you account fug the wonderful interest which John*i preaching created? If John were the permanent pasts of a church, in this town, do you sup pose that be would be able to cobs stantly keep up such a great revival as this story records? What did John's baptism signify? Was baptism then, and Is baptism now for adults of any avail without a full confession of sin? Verse 7 — When a member d a church is not a devoted man, is b« better or worse than any other sin­ ner? If a minister of the gospel is not a truly good man, whose word is as good as his bond, how would you com pare him with a layman of similar character? What la the tendency of the office of a pastor, or of a Bible class teacboc as to making its Incumbent a truly noble and all-round, morally and financially, trustworthy man? is a pastor of a church under any greater obligation to be a truly dovoted man than its members? Why ur <vhy not? These scribes and pharisees ware in those days what our pastors and church officiate are in these Jays. How do you account for the fact that they were ruch bad men? Verses 8-9—What are the fruHs which prove genuine repentance? (This question must be answered ia writing by memoere of the club.) To what extent does the fact that a man ha* a coble and devoted aaceetry recommend him to God? Can any person be saved because of his parents’ goodness? Verse 10—Is Jt the fact, and why, that incompetent men fail and that bad men always come to grief? Verse 11—What is the difference be­ tween the personal results of John's bairtism and that o' the baptism of the Holy Spirit from Jesus? Verse 12—What n i* on Is there for the belief that men .1 womee DBske their own hell or 1 m? Lesson for Sdtod 'an. 9, 1918.— The Baptism and T tion of Jeans.

Appreciated LI/HEN you receive this copy of the "News” an­ '' other holiday will have arrived, marking the close of another year. From a business stand­ point I wish to assure my friends and customers that I APPRECIATE FULLY the confidence reposedin the store management and in the honesty and integri­ ty of the employees, which has brought the increased volume of trade for 1909. Twenty-eight years of fair and square dealing with the public has placed the policy of the store in the lime light ’til all have come to believe that it is a place where it is safe to trade year by year. There is no "below cost" prices named one time and a "pull your leg" prices demanded lat­ er in order to make good the loss, but an even fair price all the time, one consistent with honest mer­ chandising, fair dealing and good citizenship. This , business method has won against all competitors in the past and we believe will be continued to be ap­ preciated by the public in the future. I also appreci­ ate the loyal, faithful service rendered by my em­ ployees and which has contributed so much to this store’s success, and now to all customers, friends and loved ones at home or abroad, 1 wish you most sin­ cerely a HAPPY NEW YEAR C.

Some stout ladles, T know, would be delighted to learn bow 1 lost so much weight in a year's time. Now, these are Just tbs ladies I wish to warn. He called himself Dr. Million. He is a tail, slender, dark man, and wears a beard and mustache. He parts bls hair in the middle, and puts pH on 1J. If he should come to your city, beware of him! True, he made me lose nearly >00 pounds weight in a year!—but the way be did it was dreadful. Dreadful! I don't mean that I suffered much—I can’t say that and be honest, and I would rather be honest than be slen­ der. I mean, the medicine he used to make me lose flesh was dreadful Dreadful to a high-spirited lady! Of course, I didn't know at first—in­ deed, I didn't know until last month— what he gave me to reduce my weight. But I know now, and if ever ! meet Dr. Million again—. He called himself Dr. Million, I think, because be hoped to doctor the millions—I believe his true name is Dr. Harvey. He was al­ ways very polite, but the means he took to reduce my weight were di» graceful! Outrageous! A lady friend of mine—Mrs. Wilson —gave me his card. He had reduced her weight 80 pounds in two months, and she was very enthusiastic over him. She gave me bls card, and when I kind of questioned her about him— that is, It he was a gentleman, and all that—I didn’t want to be doctored by a quack, of course—she wouldn't let me rest nntil I bad dressed up in my black silk and gone with her to his offices. He had fine offices. He must have made lots of money—almost a million, I do believe—while he was in San Francisco. There are so many .stout ladies in 'Frisco. 1 think I must have waited two whole hours before I could get to see him, there were so many patients waiting before me. At last my turn came, and when I met the doctor.I was real pleased.with him. He was very affable and gentle­ manly. and assured me that he could reduce my weight 100 pounds in five months, without hurting my constitu­ tion tbe least bit. I hemmed and hawed a while, but of course I fell in with my friend’s plans at las'—as I had Intended to do Ho Give Me a Capsule to Swallow. along if the doctor pleased me—and I became one of his regular patients. When I had paid down my first fee —it was pretty dear, but he agreed to return it if I didn’t lose weight within a week—I got a box of pills from him to take. But first, while I was in bls private office, he gave me a capsule to swallow. It was larger than a fourgrain quinine capsule, and it had no taste whatever. Ugh! but when I think of it ■ now, I almost wish I weighed what I used to, and had Dr. Million here! Well, I went on just as usual, eating quite hearty, for I always was a quite hearty eater all my life; but within a week I began to notice that I was get­ ting slenderer. I bad to gather my skirt a bit at tbe back to keep it from sagging, and within two weeks actual­ ly I was ashamed to appear in public in my usual clothes. I was getting slenderer and slenderer every hour. Why, at the end ot that two weeks I must have weighed not over 250 pounds. I was almost frightened to think of it, but Dr. Million assured me that It was all right. He tried to explain to me, like a doctor does, how I was growing slenderer; but of couse I couldn’t understand his scientific words. I just nodded, my head and looked wise, and said, "Ah, yes!” and he thought I understood. Well, in a month I was so slender that I bad to have all my clothes made over, and I kept growing slenderer and slenderer. I was always hungry, however, and ate all I liked, but it seemed the more I ate the hungrier and slenderer I got. I know that there are lots of stout ladies who would give a great deal to be growing slenderer every day like - ------------- one of those pills like I swallowed in Dr. Million’s private office, if they could only get one. But. ugh! when I think of taking that pill and Dr. Million looking co in his gen­ tlemanly way, I feel dreadful ashamed of myself and dreadful angry at him. - The strangest thing about it was. Dr. Million gave every one of his pa­ tients a Utile box of green pills.-and said that whenever any one of us wished to stop where we were—that is, not get any slenderer—all we had to do was to take those green pills ac­ cording to directions. I knew of only one lady who took the pills, and truly enough she stopped right. away growing slenderer, and stood still for over two weeks. Then she began to grow stout again, and now she is much stouter than before she went to Dr. Million. That is why I am afraid to touch those green pills. I dislike to be as slender as I am, considering I am quite a tall woman, but I should dislike more to grow as stout as I used to be. So I have put those green pills away tn my bureau, and every little while I look at them and wonder if I could dare take them. I once asked Dr. Million what it was that he gave bls patients to make them so slender. Bat he only laughed and said that that would be to give away his great secret, which had cost him over >1,000,000, and of course he couldn't do that. But he told me not to worry, as It was a natural remedy for stoutness, and as old as Egypt, and that if I wished to grow stout again, all I had to do was to take those green pills. But I daren't. Weil, things went on. as my friends said, from thin to thinner, and when I had paid Dr. Million as much as >500 he said that I was cured, and after that I must eome to see him only as b friehd, and no longer a patient. And, Indeed, I was quite fond of him, and did go to see him quite often, and be tlents as be could possibly attend to; but finally, one day, a lady in the office got me out Into the hallway, and asked me if I knew what it was that Dr. Million gave us ladles to make us slender. Of course. I didn’t know, and I said as much, whereupon she whis­ pered something in my ear that made mo allnost slap her face, so vexed and mortified was I. But she persisted that it was true—every word of it. Why, she herself had weighed nearly 300 but seven months before, while now she weighed scarcely 80 pounds, so slender she had grown. Of course I thought she had taken wme offense at Dr. Million, or was sent in by some other doctor to fright­ en away his patients, and I was real rude to her. But since then I have learned that she was just an honest, high-spirited lady like myself, trying to warn trusting folks away from the tolls of an evil doctor. N*ow, you will want to know what this lady said to me. and the day after she got me Inta the hall 1 went again tj call on Dr. Million to ask him to his face if it was true; but he was gone. I never was so much astonished in all my life; gone for good, the janitor of the building told us. Why, I believe I would have trusted Dr. Million with my eyes. However, he was gone and there was no use crying over spilt milk; and, besides. I was as slender as I ever wish to be. weighing only about 90 pounds with my clothing on. The day after the doctor was gone, a number of we ladles who had been bls patients all met together at my house, and we talked the matter over, and aU agreed that It must be so. Dr. Million—it is enough, I think, to make a proud-spirited woman blush with shame—had given every one of us. in those big capsules we swallowed in his private office, a little snake, and the snake had grown and grown and grown In our stomachs and eaten up everything we had put In our mouths, until there simply wasn't anything left for our bodies to live on. and of course we had all become as slender as shad­ ows. And thoee green pills were to kill the snake when wo had been eaten—as it were—out of house and home, and didn't want to grow any slenderer. Mercy! I have heard of men having the snakes, but I never dreamt that I should some day have them myself, and I can hardly keep jny hands off that little box of green pills. But I know if I should take those pills and the snake in my stomach be killed, I should weigh 275 pounds within a year, and I do so want to stay slender. Eighty-nine pounds for a fairly tall woman, as women go. Is too slender, I think, and my husband says that it's too thin, too. and I am mortally afraid that he will learn about those green pills and put them in my food without me knowing anything about it.

The dull thud, thud of earth on a 11L tie coffin, and then for a time the darkness of utter ‘ oblivion. After­ wards had come a terrible time of fever and delirium for the mother, whose motherhood was but a memory. The fever passed, but In Its place was terrible weakness over which tbe doctor shook his head gravely. “I have tried everything in my j>ower, but to no avail. She pays not the slightest attention to anything I may propose.” And then—when every one had al­ most given up hope—came Child o’ Dreams. He came at a time when the world was. wrapped in slumber. He toddled into Mrs. Mansard's firellt chamber and with eager, baby steps hurried to the bed where th* woman lay with her mournful eyes, which would not sleep, fixed on - the glinting firelight. He bur­ rowed a warm little face Into the list­ less hand, then raised two love filled "Tale, muzzle. Baby heepy.” Mrs. Mansard gathered the little form into the warmth of her bed, cud­ dling the tiny fast and hands and pressing ardent kisses on the tousled baby head. Thana was no surprise in any action of hers. Why, no. He had been sent back to her, for God was good and had understood. Not a real baby, of course, but a precious, comforting thing—one that was all her own and of which ho one else should know. "Dear," she whispered, "just you and me. Not even father must know, for he would not understand. Darling —< Child o’ Dream*.” The baby drowsily burrowed his head under her arm and murmured In bls sleep. The days wore on and Mrs. Man­ sard improved with a rapidity that was astounding. She ate and slept as she had not done since her collapse, and gained strength. The color once more came Into her eftoeks. and her hus­ band fondly anticipated the time when she would again be her own happy self, and in hundreds of little ways he endeavored to fill the void which bad been left by the death of the baby. But underneath all the joy he felt at the rapid conval**cence of his wife there was a puzzled feeling of unrest and pain. He noted that even when he was reading to her or talking to her she seemed scarcely to hear him. She would lie with parted lips, her ex­ pectant eyes fixed on space. At a question from him she would start, then answer quickly—apologetically. It appeared—and he would regret having spoken. Something Intangible was coming between them, and because it was Intangible the knowledge of It was all the harder to bear. They two had been so much to each' other at one time, and she was bo dear to him—so dear. Alone in the stillness of the nights he suffered as strong men only can suffer. But his wife never guessed, for the face he brought to her was always cheerful, in choosing her life partner Margaret Mansard had chosen well. But though the mother’s ears were deaf to all save the prattling of his own little voice, the echo of the fa­ ther's suffering found its way to the knowledge of Child o’ Dreams, and one night with a grave little face he asked for “Favver.” “He’s sleeping. Child o’ Dreams, re­ turned the mother with a strange lit­ tle resentful note In her voice. ’’Isn't mother enough?" she added, unable to restrain that jealous contraction of her heart. Child o’ Dreams looked at her with, great, reproachful eyes. The mother was startled out of all Inertia by their searching gaze. "Baby! Child o’ Dreams!” she cried. “Don't look at mother so. Don't you love me, Child o' Dreams? Don’t you?" The hsby nodded slowly. Then his lips quivered. "Yore fawer, too. Fav­ ver kyln," he said. And then a great wave of compre hension passed like a cooling hand over the brain of Mrs. Mansard. The face of Child o’ Dreams seemed to grow hazy and far away, and in its place was the one of the man who had been so much to her and to whom of late she had been bo, little. A thou sand things flashed over her memory. How unfailingly patient he had been. How tenderly his arms had cradled her pain-racked body. How carefully be had shielded her from each and every annoyance. And how had she repaid him? She bad shut him out from all rights of confidence. She had hidden from him the dearest secret of her heart She had selfishly drunk to the full of the joy which the companion­ ship of Child o’ Dreams had brought her, because she had thought he would not understand. When had he ever failed to understand? “Child o’ Dreams," she said softly. "Child o’ Dreams, ruff away, darling. Father is Joneeome and mother must talk to him." Child o' Dreams flew at her and there was a last, long kiss and em brace. Then he toddled away, laugh­ ing. into the beautiful Land of Some FOR COUQH8 *>» COLD*.

PRICK BOo AND KLOO J MIO AND 6UARAMTEED BY < NORTH WOODS LORE Camp One, Dec. 17, 1909. Editor News:— I have often been asked by News readers to write something about wolf hunting in the wild and wooley north, and will now comply, touching briefly upon a few other subjects. We have a few words, howev$z, to say to public speakers and singers. We mean that class who experience difficulty in finding a suitable pl ace to rehearse. By all means come to the wilds of Northern Michigan. Here you can expand. Here you cap mount a log and with the silent trees for an audience you’may roar and bellow without any fear of being heard. A jay bird might perhaps catch the sound of your voice, twist his neck and listen a moment, but you are safe from human ear and e/e. When you sing a lonely owl may join in the chorus, but he is not poking fun at you in any way, only trying to tell you in his owl way that he enjoys your efforts and that you are welcome to tbe bowers that have been shaded for you. The writer has a particular pine log on which he has stood and delivered many a fine oration that is now lost to the world forever. And now to you, Mr. Typo, a word. I can almost hear you cuss as you wrestle with my poor copy, but please bear in mind it is written far away in the wilds, by the dim light of a tallow candle, such as our grandmothers used to mould, yet we trust that you will be its master and that it will go to thousands of homes and be read by many friends we hold dear. But we must get to wolf bunting, and we deem this the proper place to say to all those who have not at least a drop of bunting blood in their veins to read no further, for what we are going to say will not interest them. Space will not permit of long details and we will only endeavor to give a general outline of the every-day life of the wolf hunter. You have a cab­ in built on tbe banks of a beautiful river-that wends its way among the hills and mountains of the far nortbland. Directly above your camp is a fall ‘in the river of forty feet, so pic­ turesque and grand, so beautiful 'mid winter’s ever-changing scenes you have named it “Minnie-ha-ha.” All night you have heard wolves howling off to'the west. You arise early, eat a hasty breakfast, and start out in pursuit of them. You soon learn that they are pursuing a deer that keens circlingu-ound and round, evidently with tbe intention of throwing its pursuers off the scent. Your part in thjs affair is to get stationed on a run­ way, so the whole bunch will pass you, and after much maneuvering you succeed. The poor deer passes within a few rods of you, its tongue hanging out, its sides heaving, and so tired it can hardly get along. You know now that within a few moments tbe whole pack will be upon you and you brace yourself for the onslaught. Here they come, pell, mell, seven or eight of them. Crack! crack! crack! crock! and all is over. On investiga­ tion you find that you have killed two of them. From moose wood (when a hunter wants strings he al­ ways looks for moose wood) you im­ provise a rope, which you fasten around their ugly necks and start for home, dragging the wolves behind you. You finally sight the old bunga­ low, the smoke from the chimney is curling up through the treetops toIard that long home you hope some ay to see, you are a hundred dollars belter off than you were in the morn­ ing and you feel pretty good. You whistle, you sing, you dance a jig on the cabin floor while the bear meat sizzling in the frying pan furnishes inspiring music. It is yet early in the day and you take' your fishing rod and stroll down to tbe stream ana catch a few trout for vour next morn­ ing’s breakfast, and you are happy and contented. This is the bright side of wolf hunt­ ing, but for fear that some of your readers may get the impression that it is all peaches and cream, we will try to point them a word picture of the possibilities of tbe darker side. On another day you start out full of ambition (if nothing else). You wan­ der five or six miles from home and don’t see or hear anything of wolves, or any sign ot any, but you begin to hear something and feel something. You hear the trees popping all numb, and you realize that it is get­ ting most desperately cold. You start for home, but in endeavoring to cross A Reliable Remedy Ely's Cream Bain Cire# Raliet at One*. It cleanses, soothes. Catarrh and _ away a Cold in the FEVER TMto and Smell.

You get into the worst thickets in the woods: Sour snowshoes get tangled in the rush and you take. a beader in the deep snow, and’while your hands are busy trying to disentangle yourself, your tongue is busy cursing tbe country and the luck, and it grows colder every minute. You have visions Of a frozen corpse lying among tbe trees and hills, where the wolves howl, the owls hoot, the lynx screams and the wildcat yells, and you wonder how long it will be before your whitened bones are found and laid to rest by some unknown friend. But just as you are about to give up in dispair you gel your bearings and strike the trail on the home stretch. When you get In sight of the cabin, no smoke curls from the chimney ana everything is bleak, cold and drear. You flnauy stagger in, well-nigh frozen, and find that you have neglect­ ed the wood-box, so you dig up the axe and start out on the hillside and tackle a maple. In a few moments a blazing fire throws its cheery warmth around the humble walls and you commence to thaw out and feel that life is still worth living, after all. Tired from your day’s experience, you lie down on a downy bunk of cedar boughs and for a moment per­ haps your thoughts will wander far away to friends in cosy homes in other lanas.. The laughing water sings to you the songs of a mighty, wilderness, tells you in language too plain to be misunderstood that “Men may eonib and-men may go., but I go on for­ ever,” but better yet by far, and sweeter still than ail, that constant, never-ceasing roaris to you a lullaby, and tbe weary hunter sleeps.
